(Episode 87)
I...
can't marry Kang Rim.
What?
Cho Hee.
You know,
the cosmetic business that your father...
and Seul A's father ran together.
Yes, what about it?
The person...
who sold their patented technology to a big company in secret...
and made your father's company go under...
That person...
was my father.
It was all my father's fault.
Sun Hae.
I'm sorry.
Hold on.
Hang on, Sun Hae.
I have no idea what you're talking about right now.
What do you mean...
it was your father's fault that my dad's business went under?
No, that can't be.
I'm sure you're mistaken.
Right.
At first, I didn't believe it either.
Because I thought my dad would never do such a thing.
But a little while ago,
Seul A's mother came to see me with all the evidence.
Han Seul A's mother?
Yes, that's right.
Sun Hae.
I'm not sure what kind of evidence you saw,
but Seul A's mother isn't really a trustworthy person.
So let's look into it again. After we do that...
No, I've confirmed it.
It's true...
that my dad did it.
I'm sorry.
Because of my dad...
I'm really sorry, Cho Hee.
Anyhow, because of that darn swindler,
both my family and yours...
have suffered so much.
That darn scumbag.
The swindler who put my family through that...
was Sun Hae's father?
My gosh.
I cannot believe this.
How much are you expecting?
How much? What do you mean?
Come on. Don't play dumb.
Don't tell me you married...
the chairman of Bangsoo Construction without expecting anything.
So tell me. How much would you like?
Won Ju.
I decided to marry Brad...
because I love him for who he is, not for his money.
Come on, don't be like this. We're both pros.
Ms. Na, I know you well enough.
Had you thought he was a mere parking manager,
you would not have married him in such a rush.
Am I wrong?
What did you say?
Fine, let's say that love was the only reason you married him.
Then you need to prove it to us.
Prove what? And how?
Besides, why must I prove my love to you?
Now, you're backing out.
All right. So just be honest with me.
Who knows? I may be able to help you.
I've been patiently listening, but this is getting ridiculous.
Look, Won Ju.
I knew it.
Finally, you're showing your true colors.
So let's not waste our energy...
and get straight to the point.
Tell me. How much do you want?
Then,
shall I put it down in writing?
What? In writing?
Are you sure?
Yes!
I'll put it in writing...
that I won't take a single penny from Brad.
If I could prove my love that way, I'd gladly put that...
in writing and sign it a hundred times.
Great! Let's put it in writing, then.
Hold on.
You'd better not tell Father on me about this.
Goodness. What do you take me for?
Don't you worry. I'll keep my lips sealed.
(Cometome)
(Resume)
When did things start to go wrong, and how did this happen?
How could this happen to us?
Then Sun Hae and Kang Rim...
Ms. Seo, would you take a look at this?
What?
Sure.
Soo Hyun and I brainstormed and came up with this idea together.
We wanted to get your opinion on it.
Really?
I'm sorry, but can I take a look at it later?
Pardon me?
I'll have a look later.
And I have to step out.
Sorry?
Oh, okay.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Mom.
Why are you here at this hour? You didn't even call.
Shouldn't you be at work now?
I suddenly wanted to see you, so thought I'd just drop by.
You silly goose.
I'll give you something to drink. How about a hot cup of tea?
It's okay. I'm good.
Take a seat, Mom.
Okay.
What happened, Cho Hee?
It's about Dad.
Your dad?
Why are you talking about him all of a sudden?
Ever since I heard about Dad's business from Jun's mother,
I've been thinking of him nonstop.
Haven't you been thinking of Dad?
I'd be lying if I said no.
Now that I know who Jun's mother is,
I keep thinking of that incident,
and it's been keeping me up at night.
Right, of course.
It must be worse for you.
Had we not lost your father like that,
you guys would've had it easier when growing up.
And most importantly, he was an amazing dad to you guys.
All he did was work himself to the bone day in, day out.
Then one day, we lost him, just like that.
So from time to time, I resent him.
But when I wonder what it must've been like...
to leave you little ones behind,
I feel so bad for him.
Mom.
You and Kang Rim...
had to deal with such loss while going through puberty.
Bo Ri was too young back then,
so she never even experienced a father's love.
That's true. She had it the hardest.
Yes. When she was in elementary school,
there were times when she came home in tears...
saying her friends made fun of her for not having a father.
Whenever that happened, I really...
I remember that too.
Even after she got home,
she cried for hours, asking us why she didn't have a dad.
But I had to...
go to the market at dawn to pick up the ingredients.
Then I'd cook all morning...
and work until the evening,
so I didn't have time to comfort or warmly embrace Bo Ri.
Whenever I think about that time,
my heart still breaks.
Had we never lost your father like that,
we wouldn't have had to go through any of that.
Mom.
Silly me.
I can't believe I'm saying these things to you.
I must be getting old now.
No.
You're still young and very beautiful, Mom.
Thanks for saying that, even if you don't mean it.
Thank goodness...
we had Sun Hae's father back then.
He helped us out so much and filled your dad's absence.
I'm still very grateful to him.
Honey, you're back.
Honey.
What's wrong?
Honey.
Honey, did something happen today?
How could someone be capable of doing such a thing?
I mean, how...
He betrayed my father,
and my father passed away because of that.
Then he acted like he was helping us out of pity.
How could he do that?
Cho Hee, what is going on?
I had no idea.
I always thought he was so kind...
and was grateful to him.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
You want to get your disclaimer of assets notarized?
Yes.
You're the only trustworthy attorney I know.
Please do it for me.
We could've gone to an attorney that I know,
but you insisted we come here.
How could I trust an attorney that you know?
Just do that.
Pardon me?
Go and consult the attorney that you know.
I must decline.
Kang Rim, please.
No, it's okay.
I mean, you're an attorney,
so I'm sure you won't dupe me.
Let's put it in writing here, Ms. Na.
Seul A, could you bring the notarized attestation form?
Sure.
Thanks.
Why are you staring at me?
Do I have something on my face?
No, I was just thinking you looked familiar for some reason.
Goodness. I've never seen you before.
Okay, my apologies.
Please fill in the blanks.
Okay, thank you.
I will teach you two a serious lesson today!
(Disclaimer of Assets)
"I, Na Sun Duk, promise that I will never seek financial gain..."
"from Bang Bae Soo's assets..."
"during my marriage to him..."
"as well as after his death."
Nice and simple.
Thank you, Ms. Na.
Happy now?
Yes, this will do.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
Please go ahead and notarize this for us.
You both have no objections, right?
That's right.
One moment, please.
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
We should've done this long ago, you know?
I didn't know when I was writing this...
but seeing the word "death" here...
It really breaks my heart.
Brad.
Live with me for a long, long time.
We'll stay healthy and happy...
and live together...
for many more years to come.
Ms. Na! I'm home.
Ms. Na.
I heard you and Won Ju went out together earlier today.
What?
Oh, yes.
Hyung Do said you two looked like best friends.
Where did you go?
We just stepped out together to get some air.
Look at you going out on a date with your daughter-in-law.
I'm jealous.
Don't be.
I should do my best to get along with Won Ju...
to keep you happy and worry-free.
My dear Ms. Na, you're so thoughtful.
Come here.
Gosh, why are you being like this?
Must you ask?
I just want to hold my adorable wife in my arms.
My gosh, what if someone comes in?
Then we'll just hide under the blanket.
My goodness!
- No! - Hold on. What is this?
Oh, it's nothing.
Hang on.
What on earth is this about?
Let me explain.
So,
you and Won Ju went out together earlier in the day...
so you could sign a disclaimer of assets?
Well, it was...
How dare she!
Brad! Wait, Brad!
Check it out!
Aren't you so proud of your wife?
Did you force Ms. Na into writing and signing this...
and even got it notarized?
Gosh, no. I didn't force her to do it.
She was the one who suggested it first.
You're really something.
Whatever, shut it.
If it's a verbal promise, she can go back on it anytime,
but this has been notarized,
so she can't go back on it even if she wants to.
Which means, our first defense move...
was successful.
What are you thinking, seriously?
What will you do if Dad finds out?
I told you.
This wasn't my idea.
She offered to put it down in writing first.
She won't tell Father about it when she suggested it.
Gosh. Isn't this too much though?
Hyung Do!
I cannot believe this!
- Father. - Dad.
Hey!
What is this piece of paper about?
And what's that in your hand?
This... My goodness.
- Honey. - Dad.
Hyung Do, you...
Dad.
Follow me!
Oh, no.
(Disclaimer of Assets)
Honestly, how could you do this?
Gosh, Brad.
You got the wrong idea.
I offered to put it down in writing.
This wasn't Won Ju's idea.
That's exactly why I'm so angry.
Why do you think Ms. Na offered to do this?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Why are you apologizing, honey? Ms. Na offered to...
Brad.
I made it clear to you...
that you'd be kicked out empty-handed if you kept this up.
- Father. - Dad.
Is that what you really want?
No, it's not that.
I'm sure you both know that I'm a man of my word.
- Dad. - Father, please.
Gosh, Brad.
I told you that this wasn't Won Ju's fault.
Why are you being like this, seriously?
I didn't get things sorted out, so we're in this mess now.
I mean, this happened...
because we haven't registered our marriage yet.
You'll register your marriage?
Well, Brad.
And you two.
From now on, you'd better stay out of our personal business.
If you don't, I can't live with you two.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Dad. - Yes, Father.
What do we do now?
Brad.
I just...
didn't want her to misunderstand my intentions.
That's why...
Both you and I know why you decided...
to marry me.
No one will misunderstand anything.
You see, our marriage...
isn't just about us.
It also concerns our children.
And it's not like we didn't see this coming.
Ms. Na, honey.
It was something we had to go through anyway.
I'd gladly sign a hundred more disclaimers...
to keep peace in the family.
Ms. Na, we'll soon be legally married.
What does that mean?
Tell me.
As a married couple, we should discuss these things...
and get over such hurdles together.
Am I wrong?
So if something like this happens again,
don't fret all by yourself.
I want you to tell me first. Okay?
Okay.
I promise I won't let these things hurt your feelings again.
Let's go register our marriage soon...
on one of our days off.
Oh, dear.
I'm sorry, Ms. Na.
Hey, Seul A.
What is it, Mom?
Nothing, never mind.
Mom, please don't be like this.
To be honest, Professor Choi did nothing wrong.
Mom, let's stop here.
I thought about it all night,
and this is wrong.
Right.
We keep arguing and going back to square one.
What's the point of wasting each other's energy?
I should keep Seul A in the dark so she won't worry.
Seul A.
I've been doing some thinking.
About what?
I think you're right.
What's the point of blaming someone who's already dead?
It's not like it'll bring my husband back from the dead.
Mom.
At first, I wanted them to suffer as much as we did.
But I think it's all pointless.
Mom, do you really mean it?
Yes, of course.
I'm not sure if I can put it all behind me.
But like you said, it wasn't Choi Sun Hae's fault.
Besides, I'm a parent myself.
Mom.
Thank you.
I'll work even harder from now on...
to make sure you can be rewarded...
for all your sufferings.
All right.
Thank you for changing your mind.
Seriously, thanks so much, Mom.
I'm doing this for you and Jun's sake.
Don't hate me too much...
when you find out about everything down the road, Seul A.
Mom.
Yes.
(The All-Round Wife)
I recently changed my last will and testament.
Do you want to talk to me about something?
I swear, Ri An's grandma knows.
What will you do this time?
What does Sun Hae mean to you?
I can no longer imagine my life without Sun Hae.
It's time I gave you this.
Don't tell my family.
Cho Hee.
