Someone else sold it, didn't they?
It wasn't a 40-year-old man, was it?
Mr. Ji.
You called me here, so say something!
The "A Little Princess" painting.
I did buy it from a man.
And?
It was someone I knew.
He's dead.
Who is that guy?
A thief.
He stole Lee Je In's painting too.
I basically sold on a stolen item.
When I got arrested and had time to think,
I thought of you first and that's why I asked to see you.
I was a big fan of Lee Je In.
As someone who makes a living dealing art,
I shouldn't have done that.
I apologize.
(May 19, 2024, Team Leader Choi Hye Ra)
It's all sorted out.
Don't be too upset.
Consider it a lesson for going after a man you don't deserve.
That's me taken care of.
What will you do about Yong Su Jeong?
You don't have to worry about that too.
Yong Su Jeong and Yeo Eui Ju live in the same house.
Did you know that?
- What? - You need to think...
if getting me out of the picture will be the end of it.
What was all that about?
He called me here to say just that?
It was sold?
Do you believe everyone and whatever they say?
Did Ms. Min know something when she said that?
You got rid of the poisonous fern.
Is it time to get the weed?
That weed seems to grow where Yeo Eui Ju lives.
What?
Are you saying they shacked up together?
Woo Jin that idiot seems to be going there...
and even bringing home their food.
Can you go and see what's going on?
Secretary Na just told me the chairwoman met Yeo Eui Ju again.
- Again? - Yes.
She went to the gym he works at.
What's the old woman thinking?
Could Yeo Eui Ju have something?
Wouldn't that be weird, then?
I'd say it's the chairwoman who seems to want something from him.
Yes.
Is he playing hard to get to make her pay up?
(Good job with the shoot. I wired your pay. Check your account.)
Hello. I just checked my account.
I'll treat you one day. Thanks.
What?
The ad will be on starting tonight?
Okay. Thank you.
Yes.
Hang on.
Your previously gloomy face is now bright and smiley.
Financial healing?
What's up? Who paid you?
You really have a great hunch.
I know I do.
But you won't confess to Su Jeong?
You got that one wrong.
I got paid for the ad I shot last time.
Yeo Eui Ju.
You might buy a building pretty soon at this rate.
When you become a landlord,
promise to leave some space for me to open a gym. Okay?
Sorry, Director. I need to leave early today.
Sure.
Take this. I'll see you tomorrow.
You can't leave without giving me an answer.
Does that mean you expect me to pay you rent?
Will you hurry up? Why are you so slow?
If I'd known this would happen, I'd have rented a container sooner.
Why did I bring the stuff home doubling the work?
It's okay.
What's all this?
Why are you home so early?
Did Moon Su Jeong do or say something?
I asked what all this was.
You had this much?
Where did you keep these all this while?
This apartment has a lot of storage space.
It was designed nicely.
Why is she in such a bad mood?
Do you feel unwell?
Goodness.
What's wrong with you this time?
Oh, dear. What's the matter...
Hey, you...
Why are you crying?
Get out. I'm tired.
Is it about Moon Su Jeong?
Did she do something?
What did I say? I told you to quit. Why didn't you listen?
It's your fault.
It's all because of you.
What did I do?
What are you talking about?
I'll wither away spending the rest of my life...
trying to cover up what you did.
Do you have to be that harsh?
Woo Jin's mom wants me to go to the Philippines.
If I refuse, she'll expose that you stole the painting.
She said what?
You stole so many.
I guess it wasn't a bad deal after all.
You're really something.
Did you steal anything other than paintings?
How dare that darn woman threaten us?
Hey. Director.
Did the doctor give you bad news?
Why the long face?
It's not about that.
My leg is fine. It will heal soon.
Why were you so busy and quiet today?
Did you come here to see me before your workday ended?
Would I be here to see Eui Ju?
Let's go and eat. I'm hungry.
Hey, it's the kid's dad.
I'm here too.
Hi, Yong Su Jeong.
What is it now? Who broke what today?
It's not like that.
He came to check on me.
Gosh. Your first-aid friend is so kindhearted.
And so very nosy.
Let's all go inside and have dinner.
I'll make dumpling balls.
No, thanks. Maybe next time.
Mr. Yong.
I won't make dumpling balls.
- What? - I don't want to make them.
Ms. Lee.
Can't we have some even if Mr. First-aid doesn't want any?
Dumpling balls are my favorite.
I waited for this day for so long.
I guess I need you to come in if I'm to get any dumpling balls.
Come in or don't. Make up your mind fast.
Ms. Lee.
Let's go inside. I guess you're our hostage.
I had dinner plans for...
Su Jeong.
Fine. It's for the better.
We can leave the country.
If we sell those paintings and this and that,
we can live in luxury pretty much anywhere.
Let's go, Na Ra. This must be our sign to go.
I won't leave.
Why should I leave?
Why you...
Is it...
because of Joo Woo Jin?
What is he to you?
Why would you jump into the flames for someone who doesn't care for you?
You're right.
I can't leave Woo Jin.
I won't give up until I either have him or I'm dead.
What the heck...
Okay, then. At least tell me this.
Why do you want him so badly?
After your first husband, that old man died,
you could've started over with anyone.
Why are you doing this?
Because he was the only one who protected me.
What?
I'll sell the whole company to give you what you want, Na Ra.
Woo Jin.
Why would you sell someone else's company?
You're dumb for a fraud.
Na Ra. Let's go.
I'm Joo Woo Jin, the heir to Masung Group.
I'd heard a guy was impersonating me.
You're doing a poor job of it.
You're proposing with that cheap necklace?
You should put more money into it.
Woo Jin might not remember.
But that was the only moment I felt looked after.
It was the only moment I felt as if...
someone cared.
I'd never had a dad,
and you were always gambling and whatnot.
You paid my tuition by selling Moon Su Jeong's mom's paintings?
No. I worked every single day since I turned 20.
When did you ever help or shield me?
Hey. Do you know how far I almost went...
because of you?
I walked by the orphanage so many times.
But I did what I could to keep you.
Your darn stepdad and his parents hit me on the head with spoons,
but to keep and protect you...
And you say I never helped or shielded you?
Do you know what I did for you?
I killed...
Yong Su Jeong's mom.
I was afraid you'd get caught for locking her up.
- So I locked the door. - Stop it, Hye Ra.
I was just seven years old.
To protect my own mom,
I took someone's life.
I said to stop it!
You never did such a thing.
You didn't kill anyone. You did nothing.
Don't think of that again. Erase it from your mind.
If you say that again,
I'll scold you so much.
(Welcome All Guest House)
Darn it.
I'm home.
Eui Ju is home.
Are you hungry?
Yes, a bit.
Wait a bit. I made dumpling balls.
Okay.
Hi, little bro.
You went shopping?
It's nothing, really.
I should go now.
(Welcome All Guest House)
Drive safely.
How much longer will you live with Yeo Eui Ju?
I told you already. Eui Ju's just...
It might sound childish, but I don't like it.
You live under the same roof...
and see each other in the morning and evening.
You're not getting jealous, are you?
Yes, I am. I'm...
I'm jealous.
Why did you take it so seriously?
Eui Ju is really practically family.
How can a stranger become family?
You didn't grow up together, did you?
We didn't grow up together,
but I watched Eui Ju's birth.
What?
I was there when he was born, and I caught him with my hands.
Believe it or not, stuff like that happens.
- Isn't that a lie? - I'm serious.
You didn't have to get me anything. You got me Gongjindan last time.
Oh, gosh. Red underwear.
I've never worn red underwear before.
Just looking at them gives me an energy boost.
You know you should wear them so the logo peeks out, right?
I'm pretty close to the MZ generation.
It's so pretty, Eui Ju.
Take it everywhere, Mom. The air conditioning can be too cold.
Okay. I'll take it everywhere.
My gosh.
Why do I sense an unboxing party?
Eui Ju got paid today for appearing in an ad,
and he got me a pair of red underwear.
What did that director do?
He came all the way here empty-handed.
Wait. Eui Ju, where can we see your ad?
Oh, right. They said it'd be on MBS at 9 p.m.
Mr. Yong. Where's the TV remote?
We can't miss it. The remote.
You're a professional model now.
Where's my present? You didn't get me anything?
I only got the adults something. I didn't make a fortune.
You can wait.
That's not fair.
Will you be quiet? It's on.
Let's watch. Be quiet.
- Awake the energy. Vitaryuk B. - Hey, Yeo Eui Ju.
"Awake the energy. Vitaryuk B."
Vitaryuk red underwear.
Dad, he didn't do that. He did this.
"Vitaryuk B."
Eui Ju is the best. You're so cool.
That was embarrassing.
"Vitaryuk B."
Yeo Eui Ju.
What is it now?
What?
Did you really not get me anything?
I said I couldn't.
But I'll treat you, my gym director, and Ms. Gi to pork belly.
I owe them a lot too.
Oh, right. Why did you scare Mi Yeon?
What? What did I do?
The day I hurt my leg.
She told me you yelled at her.
She said she feared for her life.
Because I was angry.
You think it makes sense that someone got hurt making jelly?
You didn't say anything like that to me.
You said, "What's with the leg?"
Yeo Eui Ju.
You care a lot about your big sister, don't you?
Don't be too harsh on them, though.
Mi Yeon was pretty freaked out.
Okay. I'll apologize when I see her again.
Can I look forward to some pork belly, then?
Can I have pork neck too?
Yes. Eat all you want.
Great.
Hey, about Joo Woo Jin.
Is he going to keep coming by?
Why? Is it too much?
Yes, it is.
Why do you hate the guy so much?
A lot of stuff happened around the time I left the company, but...
What kind of man can't protect the woman he likes?
- What? - Think about it.
If I were him, I wouldn't let you remain a cleaner.
I got into that to see the painting...
You had a purpose, but I'm talking about him.
I don't like how he doesn't do anything.
Whatever. Get out. I'm tired.
Okay. Why do you always say you're tired whenever I want to talk?
It'll be dangerous if he keeps coming here.
Okay.
I get how you feel...
about Joo Woo Jin.
You found him reliable and trustworthy.
I get it.
But was that enough to make you so obsessive?
That's...
not healthy.
You're right.
I'm sick.
I'm not normal. I know that.
I know I'm crazy.
But I can't help it...
that I want to have him before I die.
I want him to love me...
and protect me.
I can't help wanting that.
Na Ra.
Don't worry, Mom.
I'll get better once I have Woo Jin.
Turn out the light as you leave.
I want to sleep.
Do you like it, Mom?
Of course.
I'll get you more. I'll get you lots and lots.
No. One is enough.
Why not? Eui Ju is rich.
I'll make more when I shoot another ad.
- Will you really? - Yes.
Mom. Shall we move?
What? Where to?
Anywhere?
To a place where we can live peacefully?
Why? You don't want to?
Well, Mr. Yong is kind.
And Yong Su Jeong is funny.
Eui Ju. Do you want to move?
Yes.
I want to...
live with you in peace and quiet.
Did you buy a side dish store?
We might have to fire the housekeeper at this rate.
To be honest, I think this tastes better than their cooking.
You look good these days.
I have no reason not to.
Ms. Choi.
She will go to the Philippines.
I told her to start a branch office there.
Did she say she'd go?
She did.
One candidate is gone and one is left.
Choi Hye Ra was never a candidate.
Really? You spent a night with her, so I assumed...
you had feelings for her.
You think I'm that naive? Good night.
He asked to see me to say the painting was stolen?
And confess he did wrong? Why?
Yes. I should be more like Ms. Min and suspect everyone.
Did Woo Jin leave already?
He didn't want to see me.
Where did this food come from?
They don't taste like our usual side dishes.
Woo Jin brought them home.
He insisted we eat it.
They taste pretty good.
Ms. Soy Sauce made them.
Who's that?
Isn't it the lady you've been talking about?
The woman who was here on my birthday.
Yes. Ms. Yong Su Jeong made the jujube jam,
and Ms. Soy Sauce made the food.
That's what Dad said.
Kyung Hwa.
I told you not to let it last too long.
Mother, then how about this?
Why would Choi Hye Ra miss work?
I don't know.
From what I heard, she went home yesterday...
pale as a sheet and about to pass out.
The painting turned out to be stolen.
Do you think karma came around to bite her in the behind?
It's illegal to buy and sell stolen goods.
Yes, it is.
Hey, I have to go.
Have you seen Ms. Joo the head cleaner?
I looked for her all morning to ask her to clean the studio and couldn't find her.
I haven't seen her yet either.
Where will you move that to?
I'll see.
I'm taking it down before things turn nasty.
She won't tell me where it's going?
I feel more and more left out.
Hey, that painting...
Wait. That's "A Little Princess," isn't it?
Where are you taking it?
Hey.
Secretary Na says Director Joo visits them often.
I can tell from the increasing stack of old plastic food containers.
I wonder who the cook there is.
Yong Su Jeong was raised by a single father.
Is Yeo Eui Ju...
You must be looking for that lady.
She suddenly rushed out in her slippers.
Mom.
Come in.
Didn't you clean my office in the morning?
Ms. Min. Can you tell me where they're taking that painting?
Why would you ask?
Because it's my mom's.
Is there a reason you took it down?
A painting should be a piece of art that one can appreciate peacefully.
I don't think that's possible right now.
Because it was stolen?
- What? - The gallery owner...
who was arrested told me.
He said "A Little Princess" was stolen.
Aren't you hiding it because you know that?
Hey, Ms. Yong.
A thief stole my mother's painting.
That changed hands illegally, and you ended up with it.
Is what you say about loving art just talk?
Hey!
Let's assume you're serious about art.
Shouldn't you donate it, then?
If you won't, I must resort to the law and get it back.
I have something in mind, you know.
Give it some time and see how things go.
I don't want the work of my beloved mom...
to rot in some rich person's warehouse...
or be sent or sold to people who don't care for it at all.
I agree.
I'll watch, then.
I'll clean your office when you're not in.
That Yong Su Jeong weed is pretty tough.
Ms. Yong.
You can stop working as of today.
What? That's so random.
What do you mean?
We decided to sign on a new cleaning team.
Can I see Ms. Joo, the head cleaner?
She was let go already.
Ms. Joo was let go?
It can't be helped.
Even if we go back a long time,
nothing's more important than my family.
Who's this? It's Yong Star.
Yong Star is back.
I almost forgot your face.
It's been a while.
Where's Eui Ju?
He went out to meet an advertiser.
Did you see his ad? Vitaryuk B.
Of course I did.
Oh, your mugwort rice-cake meeting friend.
She was looking for you.
Was she?
I hadn't been here in a while, and I was too busy to talk to her.
She'd been absent for a while too,
but she came in two days ago and asked if I'd seen you.
Give her a call.
I will.
You're a mess, Su Jeong.
Why are you so incompetent?
Mom's painting is gone,
and I lost my job.
Darn it. What am I to do now?
Hey.
Yong Su Jeong.
(Welcome All Guest House)
Why are you crying?
I'm not crying. Something got in my eye.
Didn't you go to meet an advertiser?
Your gym director said so.
Yes. After the meeting, Mom and I...
We went to see a realtor.
A realtor?
What for?
Oh, we...
We went to see a place to move to.
You're moving?
Yes. Mom and I are going to move out.
To live alone.
Isn't that...
Lee Young Ae?
What is Lee Young Ae doing there?
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
Brother Yong can't live here forever.
If things work out with Woo Jin, they should marry.
The more you care about Yong Su Jeong,
the harder things will get for her.
If Joo Woo Jin and Yeo Eui Ju are brothers,
who on earth should I side with?
Why would Yeo Eui Ju's mom...
It's too suspicious to be a coincidence.
I must find a way to threaten Min Kyung Hwa.
I will find one.
