(Episode 77)
What's this, Mom?
Open it.
- Mom. - May your love be strong...
and never change.
You can't acknowledge my relationship with In Ha.
Don't give up. Then a path will appear.
- Son. - Oh, right.
Go on.
Will you put it on?
It's beautiful.
Will you wear yours too?
Relax.
What are you doing here?
You've really lost your class.
Are you that much classier than me?
I'm Cheonha Group's chairman now.
Isn't it obvious?
So why do you still need Hye Soo?
You own Cheonha Group as a whole.
Why do you still need Hye Soo, the legitimate Yoo heir?
You risk being mocked for marrying your cousin too.
We have Han Byeol!
Forget about that.
That excuse doesn't work anymore.
Why are you still being so clingy...
when we got divorced long ago?
I'm being clingy?
Do you still believe I think you're pretty?
What?
Your face is pretty too.
I haven't heard that before.
Doesn't it get you excited?
You'll be sick of hearing that you're handsome.
I want to be your first for everything.
Will you be mine forever?
There was such a time.
I wonder why your brown eyes,
the eyes that glowed with lust for me,
your face full of ambition and greed...
shone so bright then.
Because I was Hye Soo's then.
You're right. I was so stupid.
You have everything you said you wanted,
but you look like you want even more.
You don't shine and you're no longer pretty.
Worry about your own self.
What if Min Sun Jung...
tells Hye Soo you're the one who killed her aunt?
Do I have any more to lose?
I'm not afraid of doing a stint in prison.
Okay, good. I like the spirit.
You need to be strong.
That'll get you through the rest of your miserable life.
Will I be the only one to go down if Min Sun Jung speaks out?
Ms. Ma.
If she finds out I killed Ms. Jung and not her,
will she still think you're the good, sweet grandson?
You'll fall from grace...
before you even get to enjoy your title.
Yes, you're right.
I must get rid of Min Sun Jung first.
I'm glad we agree on something.
We can't let her open a box she's not allowed to.
I know you accepted the ring...
because my mom was right there.
You can take it off if you want.
Why would she arrange a surprise? She never was the type,
and it was so embarrassing.
I'll take mine off first.
Ms. Seol told me something.
If you resent me, then hate me all you want.
If you want to vent, let it out.
Don't keep the anger inside.
Let's do what we can to grow closer, Hye Soo.
If you like me, go ahead.
The anger and upset.
Don't keep it inside.
Come to me slowly.
Hye Soo. I love you.
Let's stay like this for a while.
I was pretty sure I was the patient type,
but all this is driving me crazy.
I'm glad you're within my reach.
I feel relieved.
You gave them a set of rings?
You couldn't tell them the truth, then?
"You two aren't actually cousins,"
"so you can love each other all you want."
How could I say that?
Will you keep it a secret forever?
It'll kill them both.
I know.
I wish they could love each other freely.
Shall I tell them instead?
No.
I must tell them.
Yes, you tell them. That's only right.
"Let us moms fight for revenge."
"You two enjoy being in love."
"Get married, adopt Han Byeol,"
"have more kids,"
"and live a busy, happy, ordinary life."
I wanted to say that so bad.
That day will come.
I don't want our kids to give up their lives too...
and shrivel away, fighting for revenge like us.
Let's end that with us.
Should I propose to her properly?
I wish that you, In Ha,
could be the one I spend the rest of my life with.
In Ha, Hye Soo.
I don't think I can say this to your faces,
so I'm breaking the rules.
I apologize.
You want to cancel Se Young's adoption?
Wouldn't that make a clean break?
She's an adult, well into her 30s.
Do we need to bother with that?
A clean, legal break would be best.
It would make things easier to register Hye Soo as your daughter too.
I should put Hye Soo on my family register?
That would be my family register too.
Hye Soo...
is my daughter now too.
Thank you, darling.
Let's cancel the adoption.
Are you serious?
I thought about it as a wife.
The wife who had a child before she was married...
and disguised her as your own years after?
Yes.
That daughter was a fake,
and I ended up traumatizing my real child.
You lied about everything.
And Dad still took you back.
He must've struggled.
Maybe he still is and he's putting on a brave face.
He wants to cancel your adoption because you're a fake.
I have no cause to refuse.
"Cause?"
Dad took you back...
because he loved you.
That doesn't need a cause. You just need to feel compelled.
Even if I'm a fake, if you ever loved me,
you can't do this. Cancel the adoption?
Did you give him the idea?
- What? - So you could...
adopt Hye Soo instead?
Did she say she won't be my sister?
She has no idea.
You already threw me out.
Do you have to finalize it on paper too?
You're an adult.
This is just a process. It means nothing.
If it means nothing, why are you forcing it?
If I'm legally registered as your daughter,
you're afraid I'll take the inheritance that's meant for Hye Soo?
Yes.
There's an inheritance issue too.
I should sort that out first.
Here are a few of my hair.
We need a DNA test?
It's to cancel your adoption.
I need a report that says you and I...
are not related.
Why are you so cruel?
This is just right. We're putting things in order.
Was I nothing but a troublemaker?
Did I...
never make you happy or proud?
You did.
You were pretty, sweet,
and you did make me proud many times.
But what?
The more you did, the more I missed dead Se Young.
My heart broke at every turn.
On Se Young's death anniversary,
you seemed like a ghost to me.
Do what you must to cancel my adoption.
(Gene Test Report)
(No Match)
(Joo Bum Seok and Joo Se Young are not father and daughter.)
(Poison, Joo Se Young)
Cancel my adoption if you want.
Do you think...
that'll make me butt out of your lives?
As if.
The harder you try to get rid of me,
the more I'll cling to you.
Han Byeol.
Are you doing okay?
Sweetie.
I'm sorry my chairman son's too busy today.
Shall I come with you?
I can manage on my own. Her uncle will be there.
Her uncle? Yoo In Ha?
Han Byeol. Is something wrong?
How would I know? She won't speak.
She used to shoot us hearts. I thought she was getting better.
Don't get too impatient.
I believe she'll get better.
Let's go, Han Byeol.
- See you later. - Bye.
(Cheonha Hospital)
Has her condition worsened?
Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder of sorts,
so it can worsen if the source of her anxiety remains.
With the treatment, she opened up a bit and even spoke.
She was getting better.
Han Byeol is showing signs of a specific fear,
and she even became defiant.
Her anxiety has gotten worse.
Is there a way to figure out the cause?
You must find out what Han Byeol really wants,
and eliminate whatever makes her anxious.
Han Byeol, tell me honestly.
What are you most scared and upset about?
And what do you want?
What is it?
It's okay, Mom.
You don't have to mind me.
You mean the most to Mommy.
Tell me how you feel.
Can you do that for me?
I'm scared that Dad will suddenly disappear like you did.
Why would Dad suddenly disappear?
That will never happen.
Can't Mom, Dad, and Han Byeol...
live together, just the three of us?
Han Byeol.
(Yusimwon)
You want me to win back Hye Soo?
Isn't that what you wanted?
She is Han Byeol's mom.
You want me to win over...
the legitimate heir to the Cheonha fortune?
Yu Gyeong has her husband wrapped around her little finger.
He comes and looks around as he pleases,
and sends his minions over.
I can't let him do that ever again.
And there's only one way to stop him.
Right. It's the one thing you don't have.
The legitimate right to the company.
I'll make that mine.
That's how we can preserve the Cheonha Group...
that I created.
I guess you and I are on the same page.
The reason I divorced Se Young...
was because I was hoping to reconcile with Hye Soo.
Hurry, so In Ha's feelings for her won't go any deeper.
I need you to marry Hye Soo...
if we're to convince the executives who are divided all over the place.
Right. I'll keep that in mind.
Han Byeol.
Welcome home.
Did you do well at the hospital?
Sorry. I had plans with your great-grandma.
I'll come with you next time.
To make up for it, I made cheese tteokbokki, your favorite.
- You did? - Han Byeol.
- You spoke. - Well done, Han Byeol.
Take it slow and keep trying.
Han Byeol. Shall we ask Mom to stay?
Yes.
Yes, Hye Soo. Join them for dinner.
You should...
No. I have to take care of something urgent.
Bye.
To Han Byeol, Ji Ho will forever be her dad.
Is it good?
You got some on your face.
Eat all you want.
Let's have dinner together tomorrow.
Free your schedule.
If you don't already have plans.
I don't, but...
Then my invitation takes priority.
I'll text you the time and location.
Han Byeol, will you give Dad some?
It's delicious. Even more so because you fed me.
Give Mom some too.
Thanks, Han Byeol.
In Ha.
You were waiting for me?
I couldn't bear to leave on my own.
Were you upset?
I can't say I wasn't.
Let's go.
- Hye Soo. - What?
I wish I could put you in my pocket.
That would be nice and warm.
I didn't know loving you would be such a long, dark tunnel.
- Hye Soo. - What?
- It's cold, isn't it? - No, it's fine.
You must feel cold too.
Not at all.
Look at me. One, two.
I'm just fine.
No, you should wear it.
Wrap yourself up so the wind doesn't get inside.
Hye Soo.
You'll be mine soon.
Completely.
I meant to pay you a visit,
but you came to see me first.
The shameless and evil Joo Se Young.
I came over to take a good long look at your face.
Take all the time you want.
Aren't I much prettier than you were at my age?
What exactly is inside of you...
that you think so little of a life?
What are you on about?
You got Mr. Ko to get Min Sung's driver to tamper with the car brakes.
But what did you say?
"I didn't kill him?"
It's a fact.
You killed Hye Soo's aunt!
Is there anything to prove I did?
There's a witness. Yoo Ji Ho.
There's no way he said that.
What? Do you still have feelings for him?
Even after he left you, divorced you,
and kicked you out?
The feelings I have left for him are hatred and fury.
Of course. You were vulgar from the moment you were born.
You must've hated that so much.
You'd have thought you needed to...
take from others to feel less worthless.
How dare you talk like that about me?
I know people like you very well.
Even if they did wrong, they think the sky will cave in...
the moment they admit to it.
Why did you attack an innocent woman?
What did Hye Soo's aunt do to hurt you?
Auntie.
Who do you think you are, lady, to get so angry about Hye Soo's aunt?
- What? Darn you! - What?
I'd get it if Ms. Seol were angry, but why are you?
Quit crossing the line...
and watch your own back, Min Sun Jung.
"Min Sun Jung?"
If you keep telling people that Ms. Ma, Ji Ho, and I...
were involved in Hye Soo's aunt's death,
Before you know it...
you'll be dead.
Why did you go and see the angry girl?
My goodness.
I didn't know you'd canceled her adoption.
Serves her right.
She had it coming.
Will you stick to the plan?
You bet.
There's no proof.
That's why I must go ahead.
We must make the proof surface.
Yes. Ma Hyun Duk, Ji Ho, and Se Young.
They're a long way off from paying their dues.
I'll get things ready on my end.
In Ha, it's me.
Did Grandma say anything?
What about?
Oh, dear. I guess you're still clueless.
I'm going to propose to Hye Soo tonight.
I have Grandma's blessing.
- What? - Wish me luck, little brother.
Where are you right now?
Where are you?
Me? Why?
You want to join us?
Yes, you should meet your future sister-in-law.
In Ha.
You're no match for me.
Admit to it and send me a bouquet.
Kyung Won, where is Ji Ho right now?
Get to the point.
Marry me,
Hye Soo.
(Game of Witches)
I'll kill you, Hye Soo!
Get away from my daughter!
Stop harassing Hye Soo!
Who says you can take her?
Hye Soo is mine.
Now you say she's yours?
You piece of trash.
I must marry Ji Ho?
I need your legitimate claim to the Cheonha family.
Cheonha Group will become Han Byeol's.
