(Episode 108)
Your grandma in Vietnam is very ill,
so Mom has to look after her.
Then when will Mom be back?
In a month? In two months?
Dad, why are you crying?
By any chance, will Mom never come back?
Can we never see Mom again?
I'm sorry.
Why did Mom leave?
Because she didn't want to see me anymore?
Because I asked her to hang out with me every day?
Is she sick of me now?
No, it's nothing like that.
Does this mean I really will never see Mom again?
I can never hear Mom's voice again?
I can't eat tteokbokki with Mom again...
or go to the kids' cafe with her?
Ga Ram, instead...
I'll love you even more.
I'll give you more love...
to make up for your mom's absence.
I'll be more attentive...
so that you won't be sad.
But Mom promised to go on a picnic with me.
She said we'd go shopping together...
to buy my backpack before I started school.
Ga Ram.
Why did Mom come here in the first place if she was going to do this?
Why did she tell me that she loved me?
Why did she act as if she'd live with me?
As if she'd stay by my side forever?
Ga Ram...
Did Mom lie to me about everything?
Did she say those things to tease me when she was planning to leave...
from the get-go?
Ga Ram.
I'm going to call Mom.
I'll ask her if she lied to me.
Ga Ram.
Even if you call her, she won't answer.
Yes, she will.
Mom said she'd always answer my calls, no matter what.
She said she always wanted to hear my voice.
Ga Ram, please.
I hate you, Dad.
I hate Mom too.
Mom is a liar.
I can't believe this is happening.
Talk about a bolt from the blue.
Up until yesterday, they seemed happy together.
But today, all of a sudden...
I tried calling Hye Yoon several times, but she didn't answer.
There weren't any problems up until last night, right?
On Hye Yoon's part, at least.
Had there been problems,
she wouldn't have joined us for dinner.
This is so strange.
I thought Hye Yoon had made up her mind to stay.
I thought she'd raise Ga Ram really well.
I know. It seemed so to me as well. Goodness gracious.
What do we do, Father?
What should we do about Ga Ram and Min Guk?
Jin Sil.
Min Guk...
desperately waited for Hye Yoon...
for six years.
And Ga Ram...
met his mom for the first time in his life...
and felt love for her.
He said...
he would brag to his friends...
that his mom was back.
Jin Sil.
She can't do this to them.
As a human and a mother,
she can't just leave them like this...
after coming back after six years...
and stirring up emotions in both Min Guk and Ga Ram.
Jin Sil, I know how you must feel.
You must be so upset and devastated.
If she was going to leave, she shouldn't have come back.
She should've kept living separately from them...
so that they could forget her and move on.
Why on earth did she even come back?
Oh, gosh. What do we do?
You see, I won't ever forgive her.
Whatever her reason for leaving was,
whatever happens to her,
I will resent Hye Yoon for the rest of my life.
Even if she came back again,
I would never take her back.
I know.
You have every right to feel that way.
You have such a good heart. This must be hard for you.
Father.
I feel like my heart is being ripped out.
Thinking how hurt...
Min Guk and Ga Ram will be,
my heart aches like it's being crushed.
Jin Sil, please calm down.
I feel so bad...
for Min Guk and Ga Ram. What do we do?
My poor son and grandson. I feel so sorry for them.
Oh, dear.
Ga Ram.
Don't worry about anything.
Daddy will make sure to keep you safe...
no matter what.
Who is here at this hour?
Oh, it's our new housekeeper.
She'll start working here tomorrow.
But I asked her to come today.
I thought she needed to know how things work here.
Oh, I see.
Oh, my.
Hello, ma'am.
Yes. Hello.
Ms. Jeon from Haejun Construction referred me to you.
I see. Thank you for coming all the way here.
Did you find your way here okay?
Your house is so large and nice.
So I could find it right away when I came near it.
This is my husband.
I'm Seo Mi Ja.
It's nice to meet you. Thank you in advance for your work.
- Then come this way, please. - Yes.
Check the fridge and shop for groceries...
- whenever you need anything. - Okay.
Also, my family has breakfast every day,
so please pay attention to our breakfast.
I see. Is there any food I should avoid serving?
There isn't any particular food we should avoid eating.
But no one in my family likes salty food.
Oh, I understand.
And my husband drinks green vegetable juice every morning.
So prepare the ingredients for his juice in the morning...
What is it? Do you have something to say?
No, that's not it.
Have we met before, by any chance?
Sorry? I don't understand...
You seem familiar to me for some reason.
I don't know. I don't remember meeting you.
I think this is my first time meeting you.
Oh, I see. I guess I was mistaken.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm not so young, so I often mistake a stranger for someone I know,
and my memory is blurry.
I understand.
Well... The coffee machine is over there.
I'm pretty sure I've seen her somewhere.
I thought about it after you got Jung Ae's call yesterday.
About what?
Jung Ae must have told Sun Woo...
that she disapproved of Eun Sung...
because we had an affair 30 years ago.
No way.
She wouldn't have told him about such a thing.
Goodness, you. Do you still not know her?
She can't keep anything to herself. She has to spit out everything.
Then was that really why Sun Woo gave up on Eun Sung?
Sun Woo clung on to Eun Sung at first,
but he let her go at some point.
I'm pretty sure...
that Sun Woo got the wrong idea about us too.
That we're responsible for his mother's divorce.
Oh, no. That's not good.
Even though there's nothing we can do about it now,
Eun Sung doesn't deserve a tarnished reputation.
My point exactly. What should we do?
We tried to tell Jung Ae it wasn't true for 30 years,
but she still doesn't believe us.
So I doubt she'll suddenly believe us.
Eun Sung is suffering for no reason.
Ga Ram, get up. You should have breakfast.
I won't eat.
Why won't you eat?
It's way past breakfast time.
Is it because of your mom?
Because she didn't say goodbye to you?
Don't talk about Mom.
All right.
Ga Ram, sleep a little longer.
I'll come back later.
If you get hungry before I come back,
come out and eat something, okay?
I made a stir-fried fishcake that you liked.
Did Ga Ram refuse to eat?
Yes, he said he wanted to sleep a little longer.
Min Guk, shouldn't you convince him to eat something?
He might fall ill at this rate.
He still seems to be in shock.
I think Ga Ram, too, needs some time to process it.
Right. His mom disappeared overnight.
He must be heartbroken.
Good going.
Because of his foolish dad,
he had a mom one day and lost her the next.
Jin Sil.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm just so upset. That's why.
I need to talk to Min Guk privately.
Go on.
Gosh. Ga Ram's mom stirred up such a commotion at our house.
Goodness gracious.
Tell me. What happened between you and Hye Yoon?
Did she really...
go back to Vietnam?
Mom, you agreed not to ask anything...
- about Hye Yoon anymore. - You crazy brat!
How can you say such nonsense?
She suddenly showed up after six years...
and said she'd live with you and Ga Ram,
acting all sly.
And then she disappeared into thin air overnight.
But you're telling me not to ask about her?
Mom, please.
No parent in the world...
would sit back and do nothing when things like this happened.
My child and grandson were abandoned by the closest person,
but I should keep my mouth shut as if it doesn't concern me?
I told you she hadn't abandoned us. She has a bit of a situation...
Exactly.
What kind of situation is that?
If you have a clear conscience, tell me the truth.
If it's understandable, I'll understand...
and never bring it up again.
If you knew that, you'd only...
You fool.
What is wrong with you?
How could you allow her to deceive you not once, but twice?
What did I tell you when Hye Yoon came back?
I told you to look into her situation thoroughly...
because she might leave you again.
You said you wouldn't let her go twice.
And that she wouldn't have come back...
if she was going to leave since she was a mom too.
You promised you'd make sure not to make the same mistake...
for Ga Ram's sake.
You're right, Mom. It's my fault. I will never...
There's no point in saying that!
You've been hurt already!
You've suffered so much pain that you can't handle any more pain!
Mom, please.
Let go. Get off me.
You don't even deserve to be a father.
You let your child...
have his heart broken twice, not just once.
If you're going to keep this up, give up on being Ga Ram's dad.
I'll raise Ga Ram! I'll look after him!
I'm so upset.
Mom...
Ga Ram's mom left?
Without any explanation?
That's right.
That's why there's so much tension at home.
My sister-in-law sighed and cried all night.
Ga Ram bawled his eyes out too.
And Min Guk...
looked haggard in the morning.
What is going on?
I mean, I understand that she can leave,
but did she have to leave so suddenly?
That's why we're all so frustrated.
No one in the family saw it coming.
Ga Ram must be in shock.
Just like that, his mom is gone.
He doesn't even know why he has to go through all this.
Think about how upset that kid must be now.
Min Guk must be upset too,
but I'm really worried about Ga Ram.
Min Guk is an adult,
and it was his decision,
so we can say he's responsible for this situation,
but Ga Ram really did nothing wrong.
There must be a reason Ga Ram's dad can't explain what's going on.
I know.
I wouldn't be as frustrated if I knew the reason.
Ha Young, if...
I'm asking this question just in case.
What is it?
Just relax and tell me.
Do you know if Ga Ram's dad...
gave her...
You told me he said Hye Yoon's mother was very ill.
Do you know if he gave her money?
Ha Young, when did you get home?
Just now.
Did you visit the police station?
Yes.
Eun Hyuk said he had to work late today,
so I dropped off some snacks for him.
Where is Min Guk?
He went out with Ga Ram.
He said Ga Ram should get some fresh air.
Jin Sil.
You must be under a lot of stress.
I'm sorry.
For the family's sake,
I should stop dwelling on it and pull myself together.
Don't be sorry.
It's not like this only concerns you, Min Guk, and Ga Ram.
It concerns the whole family.
Thank you, Ha Young.
Jin Sil, by the way...
Do you know...
if Min Guk gave her money to pay some medical bills?
Medical bills?
Why do you ask?
Well, I heard Hye Yoon's mother was very ill,
so I was wondering if that was the reason,
or if something else happened.
She said her mother's surgery had been put on hold...
because she couldn't afford it,
so I lent her some money.
Oh, I see.
Eun Hyuk, I think you're right.
Then do you think she approached him for money in the first place?
I'm not too sure,
but we can't totally rule that out.
Min Guk must be utterly devastated.
Exactly.
That was why the mother of his child came back...
after six years.
If the others in the family find out about this,
they'll be very hurt.
Are you going to tell your family about this?
Min Guk isn't saying anything about it,
so how could I?
Right, that's true.
You shouldn't...
bring it up since we don't know exactly what happened.
Eun Hyuk, pretend not to know anything about this.
We should just let it go...
and leave it to Min Guk.
It's Director Kang.
Hello?
Eun Sung, where are you?
I'm at home. What about you?
Guess where I am now.
Take a guess.
Well, you wouldn't be asking me this if you were at home.
Are you at work? No, you must be at the park.
What? Work? That's boring.
Today is my day off.
Also, why would I go to the park by myself?
I'd go there with you, but not by myself.
Eun Sung, come out for a moment.
- What? - Come out.
A gift has arrived for you.
What? A gift?
A gift?
What was he talking about?
- Ta-da! - My gosh.
Here's your gift.
Director Kang.
What do you say? Do you like the gift?
So, you're the gift?
Why?
Are you surprised by how special this gift is?
Are you touched?
Well, I am surprised. But "touched?" Not so much.
What did you say?
Then are you going to return the gift?
Will you send me back to the shipping company?
Of course, I won't.
My gift came all the way here for me.
So you'll accept me, right?
Then...
take me inside.
What? Take you inside?
No one else is at home at this time of day.
Your parents are at the restaurant.
Eun Hyuk is working the night shift today,
and Eun A must be recording her show now.
What? Director Kang! My gosh.
My goodness. You can't just barge in like that.
Hey, you. Long time no see.
You still live with Eun Sung?
This guy is...
your "partner" I met that night, right?
This is my partner.
The night we went to Blue Moon to get my jacket,
you showed up with him in your arms.
Right, yes.
What was his name again?
Brad.
That's right! Brad.
Hey, buddy. It's good to see you.
Have you been helping Eun Sung practice her acting?
Wait, the thing is...
Director Kang, what if someone walks in on us?
Come on. No one will come.
Hey, Brad.
You're only allowed to practice acting with Eun Sung.
Nothing else, okay?
I am Eun Sung's boyfriend.
What are you saying to a mannequin?
What do you think I'm saying?
I'm warning him as your boyfriend...
that he should not fancy you.
He should know his place...
and never cross the line.
You're really something.
What? Ga Ram's mom left?
After the two of you found something suspicious about her?
Yes. We were going to tell him everything,
but she left just before we could.
Well, that's not really true.
We couldn't tell Min Guk for various reasons.
But I ran into Mr. Shin on my way home from work.
He said...
that Ga Ram's mom left...
and told me to say nothing about it to Min Guk.
My gosh, I can't believe it.
Is "Gone with the Wind" her life motto or something?
How could she show up out of the blue and leave suddenly?
Come to think of it, I could tell something was up yesterday.
During my shift yesterday,
the whole family showed up at the cafe and told me to leave,
saying they had to talk about something.
Your boss and Ga Ram were there too?
No, everyone was there but those two.
If they had to talk about something in their absence,
it must've been about Ga Ram's mom.
Did they find out the truth about that woman?
What? About how she approached him for money?
Or about her relationship with her so-called cousin?
Both.
Or even just one of them.
So they came to the cafe to have a family meeting about it?
I wouldn't be so worried if she got caught.
What if she already ran off with the money?
Mr. Shin and his family probably only found out after she left.
That's not good.
That means she got away with it because we kept putting it off...
instead of telling him right away.
You're right.
If that really is the case,
what are Min Guk and Ga Ram going to do?
Ga Ram, stop staring at your mom's pictures.
How many hours has it been?
Ga Ram, I told you to stop.
Let go. I want to keep looking at Mom's pictures.
You haven't eaten anything all day.
What are you doing?
I'm not hungry.
Why aren't you hungry?
You skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
How would I know...
why I'm not hungry?
Then do you know why Mom left?
It's because of your grandma...
You're lying.
You're a liar, Dad.
You said I could live with Mom!
You said I'd see her every day!
Ga Ram.
I can't believe you actually came in.
You've been here before.
What's there to see here?
Come on. I was drunk last time.
I had to walk on eggshells around your parents,
so I couldn't have a good look around the house.
I was really curious about the place you lived.
Then take a quick glance, and let's get going.
We might get caught by my parents at this rate.
My parents haven't even approved of our relationship yet.
All right.
Where is your room?
Don't tell me you're going to see my room too.
I didn't pester you to let me come inside...
just to see the living room.
Well... But it's not appropriate to go to my room...
when no one else is at home.
Can't you trust me?
Are you worried that I might try to do something...
because no one else is here?
- No, that's not what I mean. - If not,
show me your room.
I'll behave myself. I'll look around and leave.
If I leave without seeing your room,
I might not get a chance to come back soon.
Then just for a moment. A brief moment, okay?
Oh, boy.
So this is how your room looks.
It's small and cute just like you.
This is where you sleep,
put on makeup, read books,
and call me.
What?
This is the plant I gave to you.
Oh, my. It got so big.
Did it?
Did it grow a lot?
I don't see the difference because I see it every day.
Yes, it grew so much.
I made sure it got sunlight and fresh air every day...
and watered it on a regular basis.
Thank you, Eun Sung.
For taking good care of the plant I gave you.
Seeing how well it grew...
makes me happy.
You don't have to thank me. Of course, I should do so.
Come to think of it,
I think that was when I started having feelings for you.
When you said you were rooting for my dream.
Eun Sung!
Someone's here.
Who is that? Is it your father?
I think it's him.
Why did he come home at this hour?
Eun Sung, are you in your room?
What should I do?
I think she's in her room. Then why won't she answer?
Eun Sung. Hey.
What should I do?
Yes, Dad!
What should we do, Eun Sung?
Come out for a second.
Your mom told me to bring some chili powder.
She said you knew which one was which.
Sure. Okay. Give me a second.
Make no noise and stay put.
Never come out of this room until my dad leaves.
Got it.
Gosh.
This is nuts.
Were you napping?
Why did it take you so long to answer me?
Sorry? Well...
I was talking to my friend on the phone.
I see. Your mom said we had spicy and less spicy chili powder.
Right. Yes.
- I'm home. - Come on in.
Dad, you're home too.
Your mom sent me on an errand... Wait. I need to go to the bathroom.
Hey, wait. Eun A.
Why?
Well... The thing is...
Go to our room a little later.
Why? Do you have something to tell me?
Eun A?
No, I don't. I mean, it's not that.
Then why?
- I'm tired. - Eun A, please.
What's going on?
What should I do?
I'm not going to call you "Director Kang" anymore.
- What will you call me? - "Sun Woo."
I guess you two had quite a romantic time.
Are you saying that in front of us intentionally?
Because that lady knows the truth?
Did you live in a house with a black gate, by any chance?
Do you think you've seen me before?
Are you talking about Hye Yoon?
Ga Ram's mom?
Min Guk's mother found out everything?
How many more times must you be deceived...
until you come to your senses, you fool?
