(Episode 26)
It's Mom.
Why is my mom...
I'll take it to my academy and share it with Jun Woo.
Do you like Jun Woo?
Yes, a little bit.
But you know,
a boy and girl can't sit together after the age of seven. Be careful.
What does that mean?
It means boys and girls need to stay away from each other.
You can't be like Yong Su Jeong and sleep in Eui Ju's room.
That's bad.
- What? - Joo Ha Min?
Let's go, Ha Min.
Grandma. Will you be back here?
I don't know yet.
I have to return your handkerchief.
Ha Min, come along.
I met Young Ae in Accounting where we'd both started...
after graduating from high school and we became best friends.
But we lost touch after Young Ae got pregnant...
with Vice-chairman Joo Sung Pil's baby.
All sorts of rumors went around about the chairwoman's disapproval.
I had to leave the company because I used to be close with Young Ae.
I wasn't sure whether to send this photo.
But so long has passed,
and I believe the chairwoman must want it for a reason.
What is it, Eui Ju?
What?
Mom. What's your name?
My name? It's Yeon Hwa.
Not your Buddhist name. Your other name.
Do you remember anything?
Never mind, Mom. Let's go inside.
Okay.
Yeo Eui Ju. He got on my nerves for a reason.
Do you think he was asking around for the chairwoman?
He even got a patient list. Why do you think that is?
We shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Let's not upset a hornet's nest too early.
Let me find out first if the chairwoman and Yeo Eui Ju met.
Did you order lots of good stuff for youself?
I got a health tonic.
They'll send it by courier.
You must be pleased.
When you get it, warm it up nicely and take it regularly.
Mr. Yong. This is Gongjindan.
It was expensive and I could only get ten.
Is this for me, by any chance?
I don't accept things like this.
It gives you more energy.
Share it with Yong Su Jeong.
Gosh. Thank you so incredibly, awesomely, tremendously much.
Oh, the soup might boil over.
I don't accept things like this,
but I'll put it over there.
Don't even ask about that night.
She was cut and bruised all over and the baby was coming.
I said I'd call paramedics and she screamed for me not to.
She made such a fuss.
I still shudder when I think about it.
She wouldn't let you call paramedics?
She insisted.
"I can't go to a hospital. I can't!"
I had no idea what the story was.
Did you see any IDs or something?
She was in no position to have anything.
She didn't look like she was just lost.
What would've happened to you and your mom if we hadn't met...
I don't want to talk about it. It's a horrifying thought.
Why are you asking me about that night?
Mom. I'll go to the gym for a bit.
- Okay. See you later. - Okay.
- Hey, Mom. - What?
Do you remember...
this photo?
It's me.
Yes. I think it's an old photo.
Lee Young Ae. Do you remember that name?
Lee Young Ae?
You were pretty when you were young, weren't you?
Don't think about it. You don't have to.
My dear mom.
- See you later. - Okay.
Ha Min. Did you want to come here that much?
Yes. Your company's awesome. It's huge.
Dad has some stuff left to do.
Don't worry. I'll read my book.
Hello, Ha Min.
It's nice to see you.
Why are you here?
I want to show you the proposal for the summer specials.
Drop it off.
What is Ha Min doing here?
She wanted to see where I worked.
Can I show her around, then?
You seem to be busy.
No.
I want to read.
Do you like books a lot, Ha Min?
Okay, then. I'll see you again another time.
Bye, then.
Mom. Do you know what eight-year-old girls like?
Why do you ask? Eight-year-olds?
Yes. Be quick.
I don't know.
Handbags or shoes?
Can't you show some more effort?
All women, regardless of age or race love bags and shoes.
Women are the same, young or old.
Forget it. Why did I even bother asking you? Bye.
Hey, Na Ra...
Goodness.
Why would she ask something like that?
I wouldn't know what girls that age like because I never gave you anything then.
It's all because of that darn Jang Myung Chul.
I searched the whole employee list and there's no Choi Na Ra.
Would it be impossible to check on the people who used to work here?
You have a point.
Fitzwill University sent something to Choi Na Ra.
It could be someone who used to work here.
Could you get Ms. Choi's details?
Ms. Choi's? Why?
You think she could be Choi Na Ra?
You said she studied at Fitzwill University too.
She overreacted when I asked if the mail was for her.
Something bothers me.
I will try,
but I don't see how much info a lowly employee can find.
An executive might have more access.
Shouldn't you be working?
She's back already?
She said she had a lot to say to the director.
Where is everyone else?
Do they spend time elsewhere and then go straight home?
I guess the MD Team meeting must be dragging on.
Ms. Gi. Do you have any nieces or nephews?
I have about a dozen.
Cousins from Mom's side, Dad's side, and my siblings' kids.
Is that 20 plus?
What a huge family.
What do eight-year-old kids like?
- Boy or girl? - Girl.
There are sticker and stamp sets for kids who like to decorate journals.
Character plushies, girl-group merch, stuff like that?
Precocious kids like makeup too.
Really?
I have to go out.
Okay.
She's the one who's never in.
Come on out, Ms. Cleaner. Yong Su Jeong.
Gosh. You're awesome.
You're much cleaner than all the staff here.
I love your manners.
It must be tiring.
What? No, it's fun. It's not tiring at all.
Do you want to give it a go?
You're good at this. Gosh.
You're doing really well. You're so thorough.
This is fun.
Don't you do this at school?
In my day, we scrubbed the wooden floors with wax...
- and cleaned the toilets... - Isn't that what bad girls do?
What?
I read about it in cartoons.
That's what you do if you get bad grades or forget to bring something to class.
No, I was a model student.
- Liar. - It's the truth.
Ha Min.
Dad.
"Dad?"
What are you doing?
Why are you mopping the floor?
Just because.
What's going on? Why did you make her mop?
Well...
Is she your daughter, sir?
- Yes. - I didn't know.
You can give it back. Thanks, Ha Min.
Let's go.
You said you'd come right back but you didn't.
I mopped the floor because I wanted to.
She didn't make me do it.
I know.
Sit and wait just a bit more.
Can I go and play with that lady?
- You can't. - Just for a while.
The doctor said you should let me relax.
What? How do you know that?
I heard it from the hallway.
Ma'am.
Ha Min.
I'm allowed to play with you.
- Let's clean together. - What?
The director asked if you could watch her for an hour.
Would you mind?
No, it's fine.
Where shall we go first?
I don't know. What shall we do first?
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
Boys and girls need to stay away from each other.
You can't be like Yong Su Jeong and sleep in Eui Ju's room.
That's bad.
Are you thirsty?
Here.
Drink this.
Why is no one here?
You saw the studio, right?
Some went there to work, some are in a meeting room,
and some are slacking off.
It's nice and cold.
Is it? Let me have some too.
It is nice and cold.
On a clear day like this, you should go to the Han River,
slurp some cup noodles and glug an ice-cold beer...
No. Glug an ice-cold soda. That's what we should do.
Have you had ramyeon by the Han River?
No. I can't eat ramyeon.
The adults won't let me.
I haven't had coke either.
You're missing out on all the fun stuff in life.
What are you doing here?
Dad brought me here after I saw the Chinese medicine doctor.
Why were you there? Are you not well?
I keep having bad dreams and I can't sleep.
The medicine doesn't help.
I see. Poor you.
The medicine Dad gave me last time was tasty and nice.
What was that?
It had a dark brown color.
It was made with jujube.
Jujube jam?
I made it for your dad.
Did you like it?
Yes.
You made it?
I did.
I'll make you a potful this time. Just wait.
Yeo Eui Ju came to the clinic...
and showed them an ultrasound picture from 1993.
The chairwoman visited the gym Yeo Eui Ju worked a few times too.
She knew.
The old woman...
knew it all along.
Where did she get the ultrasound picture from?
(CEO Min Kyung Hwa)
Why do you have that?
Why do you have Sung Pil's belongings?
The box of his belongings.
It was in there.
That's why he told me to find Lee Young Ae.
He knew she was having his kid again.
For how long must I do this dreadful thing?
For how long?
Don't worry.
I'll protect you.
I did 30 years ago,
and I will...
again now.
Thanks a lot for the help.
It's fine. I hadn't had such fun in a while.
Right?
Dad. Can we go to the Han River and have ramyeon?
- Ramyeon? - Let's all go to the Han River,
slurp some ramyeon and glug an ice-cold coke. Please?
You want to do what?
No, Ha Min. You should go home and have dinner.
Coke's bad for you. It melts your bones.
Please, Dad.
The doctor said you should let me relax.
Okay, fine. Let's go.
Great. Ma'am, come with us.
No, thanks.
Come with us.
I don't know how to eat ramyeon by the river.
The doors are closing.
You're leaving already?
Yes, because of Ha Min.
Are you coming back from somewhere?
I got this for Ha Min.
You didn't have to.
Ha Min, what do you say?
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Since we all met, how about we get dinner...
Ma'am.
Let's go.
Okay. Let's go.
Take care.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
Dad, hurry up.
See you tomorrow.
The doors are closing.
Ms. Choi.
About Yong Su Jeong.
There's talk she's asking people about you.
What?
She's been going to HR.
With Gi Mi Yeon.
Keep an eye on Yong Su Jeong and report to me.
Okay.
This is awesome.
That's incredible.
Here.
Can you set up the table outside?
You should do that at least.
- But... - Do you have extra chopsticks?
You do.
Ha Min. Shall we make black bean noodles this time?
Yes.
Director.
Can you order black bean noodles and a coke?
But...
Darn it.
I'm full.
Can I go over there and look for four-leaf clovers?
- Don't go far. - Okay.
Ha Min. I'll join you after I finish my food.
Sorry you only got to slurp one bowl today.
I was talking to myself when I said that.
I'll buy you something nice next time.
It's fine.
I'd been looking down at floors all day every day and this is a nice change.
It's nice out here.
I feel good too.
Because I'm with you.
How long will Yeo Eui Ju live with you?
- What? - It's a guest house.
Don't people stay for a set period?
Well...
His mother lives with us too.
I don't know what will happen.
It's fine as long as you don't sleep together.
What? Why would you say something like that?
Goodness.
Ha Min.
Did you find a four-leaf clover?
Your mother was ill for a long time after she had you.
Once she recovered, we realized she'd lost her memory.
She had nightmares every night.
I got the impression she was being chased.
That's why I didn't try to find her family.
I looked around the time you started school.
Her residence record had been expunged and I couldn't find her identity.
She must be very tired.
Even more so because everything was new today.
Right. She'd never had a soda before.
You don't resent me, do you?
Well, you grow up learning from bad people too.
What? Do you mean I'm a bad influence on her?
She's so cute and smart.
It must be nice to have a daughter like her.
I hope you understand if I don't greet you at work.
I do. I prefer that, actually.
So many people watch us.
You noticed Ms. Choi's glare, didn't you?
She won't nag you because of me, will she?
Why would she nag me?
Well, I heard you two were close.
They say she flew in from the US...
just to marry you.
That's a rumor.
You don't think so too, do you, Ms. Su Jeong?
"Ms. Su Jeong?"
My goodness.
I should go. See you tomorrow.
(Welcome All Guest House)
You just got back?
Would I be going out?
What? Did you go on a date with Joo Woo Jin?
It wasn't a date. It's not what you think.
What was it, then?
Stuff came up.
His daughter came to work.
What?
Anyway, it wasn't a date.
Let's go inside. Our parents are waiting.
My gosh. Are they that close now?
Goodness.
What the... Darn it.
What...
(Welcome All Guest House)
My heart's racing.
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
Thanks for today. Ha Min said she had a good time.
Mom.
I'll do it.
No, I'm almost done.
I'll do it.
You, Mom...
Sit right here.
- I'm sorry, Mom. - What?
Yong Su Jeong. What should I do about you?
I will try,
but I don't see how much info a lowly employee can find.
An executive might have more access.
An executive.
(Director's Office)
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
I could pull her whole file if I were to access it with that.
You're here early.
Why did you jump?
Did I catch you stealing something?
I wouldn't steal anything. Why would you say that?
I was wondering how you could accumulate so much dust in one day.
(Fitzwill and Sungjin Join Hands to Improve Education and Communication)
Did you attend Fitzwill University?
Yes. I did.
I heard it's a really nice university.
Do you know anyone at work who studied there too?
Choi Na Ra.
Oh, Team Leader Choi Hye Ra.
She went by Choi Na Ra in university.
Ms. Choi used to be called Choi Na Ra?
It was a legal name change and I get it wrong sometimes.
Why do you ask?
What's going on?
What are you doing in my seat?
(Team Leader Choi Hye Ra)
It's me, Yong Su Jeong.
You're here early,
Ms. Choi Na Ra.
Choi Na Ra. You know me, don't you?
Who am I?
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
Shouldn't you start looking for a wife for Ha Min's sake?
Seonhwa Gallery.
They know all about paintings traded in the country.
What if I have good feelings?
How would you feel if I had good feelings?
I won't let Joo Woo Jin go.
It's bad. Your mother has gone.
My mom?
How much do you know?
Lee Young Ae. Is she alive?
