(Episode 31)
I'm meeting your mom tomorrow.
Come to Namsan Cafe by 6 p.m.
Hi, Dad.
Do you get off before six today?
Yes.
Shall we meet up somewhere and go together,
or will you come to the cafe on your own on time?
I won't go.
What's the point of meeting my mom now?
What do you mean?
She's your mom.
So what if she is?
What mom never looked for her daughter who's now 30?
- I don't need a mom like that. - Da Jung.
If you want to see her,
you can go on your own.
Don't mind me.
Bye.
I didn't mean to listen in.
Sorry.
I get it. You must resent her too.
But Da Jung.
It's my fault.
Why your mom became Noel,
I'll find that out first.
You'll move Miss Kim to a hospice?
Yes. It's a place known to be near mountains and streams.
That means it's secluded.
That's right.
We wouldn't have a problem if you'd done this from the start.
That's right.
Okay. I'll set off now.
Let's meet at the care home.
Grandma will want to visit Miss Kim again.
I must prevent that completely.
Good idea.
What'll you do about your real grandma?
- Your dad's real mom. - Watch what you say.
Who are you calling my real grandma?
Your tongue will be our downfall.
What am I supposed to call her if I can't call her your grandma?
Anyway, can we leave her there?
She's at death's door. Let's wait and see.
I'm off.
See you.
That brat is so cold. I wonder who she got that from.
Goodness.
(Dream Food)
He's Chairman Wang Je Guk of Dream Food.
He's my CEO's husband.
Go Eun's mom is married to...
the chairman of Sang Chul's company?
How could they all cross paths like this?
I must tell her.
She's your daughter who is more precious than anything.
Our Go Eun.
There's no trace of Go Eun's mom Min Hae Il,
and we're left with Noel who looks the same.
There must be a reason.
He was there again, Noel?
No.
He left a note asking to meet me at Namsan Cafe at 6 p.m.
What?
There's someone I must meet.
So what?
You won't go, will you?
Well...
I plan to go.
Is it really someone I know,
and who they want me to meet.
I want to ask all that.
Noel. You don't know what kind of guy he is.
What if he hurts you?
Don't worry.
What could he do in a crowded cafe at a tourist destination?
You can't go to see him.
Stalkers aren't in their right minds.
The world is a scary place.
I'll be fine.
I lived comfortably in your shelter for years.
Now I want to try and fend for myself.
Okay, then.
I'll be on standby. Call if something happens.
(Wang Je Guk, Chairman)
Come in.
Noel's being stalked. Look into it.
Yes, sir.
(Dream Food)
What does he think he can do by barging into my office?
Will he expose me as a cheater and take it to the bitter end?
I can't let that happen. What should I do?
(Wang Je Guk, Chairman)
A man called Shin Duk Soo wishes to see you.
Shin Duk Soo?
Let him in.
Hello, Chairman Wang.
I'm...
Goeun Milling's Shin Duk Soo. You must remember me.
What do you want?
I came to ask you something.
Many years ago,
I was detained for arson.
I was cleared in the second trial and released.
When I returned to Goeun Milling, unsurprisingly,
you had taken over.
So what?
I believe at the time, Goeun Milling was already in danger of bankruptcy.
Your right-hand man Kang Man Seok died and you were detained,
which all but finalized the bankruptcy.
I paid the appropriate price to buy the company.
Is there a problem with that?
Not with that.
I wonder how the woman I was married to ended up as your wife.
I'd like to know how that happened.
What?
Your wife?
- Who's that? - Min Hae Il.
Why pretend you don't know?
She lives with the same face as Min Hae Il,
but goes by Noel now.
Are you talking about Noel Park?
Are you telling me...
that Noel was your wife?
What kind of nonsense is that?
Then is Noel...
not Min Hae Il?
Tell me how Hae Il ended up as your wife.
Was there...
something between you two when we were still married?
What on earth are you saying?
That's nonsense!
Mr. Kim!
Get him out of here!
- Let's go. - Tell me.
Why won't you answer?
Because it's not worth answering!
- Why... - Don't ever come here again!
I tried to be civil.
Goodness.
Gosh. You're so cool, Se Ran. What a ride.
How could I not love you?
Quit brown-nosing.
Must I drive you around now too?
My father-in-law came by. I had no choice.
You avoid poop because it's dirty, not because it's scary.
Goodness.
That punk.
You know him?
He's our team's rookie and the most arrogant fool ever.
He acts like he's special.
I'll teach him a good lesson one day.
He must be rich.
As if he'd be rich.
Don't you know even people...
who live in small studios rent flashy cars?
That idiot putting on a show and bluffing.
Darn him.
It will do. Keep it on the boil a while longer.
What on earth are you doing?
- What? - Why do you still have...
the prepped spinach?
Why are you distracted?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Da Jung. Is something wrong?
You've been out of it all day. What's going on?
It's nothing.
Assemblyman Park made a reservation.
Okay.
Da Jung. You really won't come?
I won't.
It's up to me.
I made the mess, so I should clean it up.
He wrote the note with such care.
I doubt he's a conman or stalker.
It's possible he knows me.
I should meet him.
I'll meet him and find out.
(5:51 p.m.)
You really won't go to meet your mom?
Stay out of it. It's my personal life.
You weren't the nosy type.
I'm not nosy because I want to be.
I asked because you've been distracted,
wondering if you should go or not.
When did I...
wonder what to do?
Didn't you?
You pretend to be fine, but it's obvious you're not.
You can't hide how you really feel.
Why do you do this to me?
Whether it shows or not, it's none of your business.
I already have a lot on my mind.
Must you add to it?
I'm afraid you might regret it.
Only one person in the whole world gave birth to you.
You know,
my father died in a sudden accident right after...
I'd started middle school.
My mom and I were almost kicked out to another country.
My mom was the only family I had.
But three years after my dad died,
my mom died too.
Even now, I'd love to hold her hand.
I'd love to see her face again.
But I can't even do that in a dream.
Just how sad that is...
Your circumstances are different from mine.
I was unable to see my mother not because she had died.
She was alive and well.
And she never looked for me.
If she didn't look for you, there might have been a reason.
Or a reason she looked and couldn't find you.
Go and hear what that is.
If you're still unhappy,
it's not too late to ignore her then.
Is she really...
in there waiting?
What does my mom look like?
What prevented her for all these years...
from looking for or finding me?
Da Jung should be home to cook dinner before dinnertime.
Why is she still out?
Goodness.
Mom.
Do you think Da Jung's with the guy?
What?
Do you really think she's having an affair?
No, I don't believe it either.
But that's what it looks like.
And the look Wang Yo Han gives her isn't normal.
He looks at her with a gaze so full of warmth.
It depends on how she feels about him.
You think she'd go for him when she has me?
Don't you know what she's like?
Then what are you worried about?
Still, if a guy keeps dropping hints and sending signals,
she could get interested.
Think about how we've been treating her.
If Da Jung feels lonely, she could lean on him.
When I saw the two of them in an embrace,
my heart almost stopped.
Da Jung was totally enveloped in his massive chest...
Stop it, Mom.
Just imagining her with him drives me crazy.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Pick one.
You don't want her but you can't give her away?
Emotions are never that clear-cut.
I want the hundreds of millions, but I love Da Jung too.
Why haven't you made up your mind yet?
I don't want him to have her.
When will Mom be home?
Hey, Song Yi. Mom will be home soon.
Dad.
Da Jung.
Hey, I'm glad you're here.
Take a seat.
Where is...
Where's Mom?
She didn't come?
There must be a reason for it.
Like what?
Whatever the reason,
she decided not to meet her daughter.
She's a mom and she's not here.
Either that,
or she's not here...
because she doesn't want to see me.
No, there's no way that's the case.
I'm sure there was a mishap.
I should've contacted your mom in person but I didn't and she didn't get the note.
I told her to just come without mentioning you, so...
Forget it.
That's enough.
As you told me before,
I don't have a mom.
No.
She's dead.
Da Jung.
What are you doing here?
Do you still regret not meeting your stalker?
I have a lot on my mind.
Be glad you came home with me.
What if he put a knife to your throat?
It would be too late to regret then.
I think you might be getting too negative and serious about it.
I didn't get the impression from the note that he'd be a threat.
You're too sweet for your own good.
Don't you watch the scary news?
Stalkers will do anything to get to you.
Do they?
Don't ever go anywhere on your own.
No. Just don't go to cafes anymore.
I didn't expect much at all.
He said he knew me,
so I wanted to hear what he had to say.
You're so naive.
Do you think he didn't check your background?
They always do before they approach their target.
You get more paranoid each day.
Are you that worried about me?
Isn't it obvious...
My goodness.
I can't live without you.
Do you get that?
Goodness.
Hey.
Sit down.
Where were you all this while? Sit.
You haven't eaten, have you?
You knew she wouldn't show up,
didn't you?
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
If you need someone to blame, blame me.
No. You did nothing wrong.
I just don't get it.
How could a mom do that?
Don't see her again.
- Da Jung. - Now that I have Song Yi,
I know how much a child means to a mom.
So how could my mom...
never look for me?
How could she not show up when she was supposed to meet me?
There could be circumstances we don't know about.
- Can't you put it that way? - No.
Whatever the circumstance,
this is wrong.
Da Jung.
Your mom must have a reason we don't yet know about.
You don't have to console me.
She never tried to track me down.
Whatever her reasons are,
I can't forgive her.
Da Jung.
It was my fault from the start.
It got this bad...
because of me.
I don't know.
I just don't know what to think.
I feel like...
I was abandoned again.
I must get Bobaejung to open a restaurant in Dream Hotel?
No way. How can I convince Madam Yoon...
when you couldn't?
Will Madam Yoon agree to partner with Dream Food?
I'm not sure. I must try as best I can.
You're making an excuse to avoid naming me your successor.
Hey.
You must accomplish something to convince the staff and board.
What have you done to prove yourself?
Quit complaining and do what you can.
Yes, Ji Hoon. I'll help.
Hey.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry for calling so late at night.
It's fine. I was still up.
Why do you sound so downcast?
Is something wrong?
No.
I just...
thought of my mom.
Did you?
Today...
I went to see my mom.
Did you?
Did you see her?
No. I didn't get to.
My mom must not want to see me.
Where are you? I'll come over.
She never tracked me down after the divorce.
My dad begged her and arranged a meeting.
But...
she didn't show up.
Oh, dear. You must've been disappointed.
Do you think she got there a little late?
No. My dad waited for two hours.
I regret even showing up...
to see my mom.
Perhaps...
she forgot about me completely.
Of course not.
She carried you for nine months.
How could she forget about her child?
Children may do without their parents,
but to a parent, a child is someone they never forget.
I just don't understand.
She must've carried me and given birth to me.
But it feels like she abandoned me.
I won't see her ever again.
We human beings...
We see and understand the world based on our experiences.
There are many people and many stories.
Your mother must have a reason you could never imagine.
Do you really think so?
Even I think you're sweet and adorable.
Your mother would think so even more.
There's no way your mother forgot about you.
I can guarantee that.
I apologize.
I got upset...
and forced you to listen to me vent.
It's possible...
my mom's happily remarried and has a family.
That's possible.
If she left when you were young.
Excuse me.
Hi, Dad.
I'm outside at a playground.
You'll come over?
Okay.
Your dad will come over?
- Yes. - Good.
I'd like to wait and say hello.
No, you don't have to.
He had such a lovely daughter and allowed me to go on dates with you.
I should thank him.
(The Third Marriage)
Don't talk such nonsense!
If you make up a story about my daughter again,
I'll make you pay for it.
How badly were you hurt?
Are you feeling sorry for another man's wife?
You look lovely with a bright smile.
Man Seok's blood type was type O?
It wasn't. He had type AB blood.
