(Episode 41)
- This is the one. - Nice.
And the shades.
- One, two, three. - Three!
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Ms. Park,
I'm sorry to call you so late.
But could I ask you to visit the house?
What? Right now?
Se Jong is very sick.
And he wants to see you.
Se Jong is sick?
Dan Dan, where are you going at this time of night?
I have something urgent to take care of.
Dad, I'll be right back.
Are you going out to see him?
No, you can't go.
It won't take long.
Dan Dan.
Dad, don't be like this.
Se Jong is sick, and he wants to see me.
No. I can't let you go, Dan Dan.
Dad, get off me. I have to go.
- Dan Dan. Wait. - What is going on?
- What... - Why?
What's going on this late at night?
What's with Dan Dan and Soo Chul?
I don't know.
Dan Dan.
Dan Dan!
Ms. Se Ryeon.
Ms. Park, thank you for coming.
Young Guk is busy taking care of Se Jong, so I came to meet you.
Let's go.
Is Se Jong ill?
What's wrong with him? Is it serious?
He has separation anxiety.
Separation anxiety?
Yes. When he was separated from you so suddenly,
he must have felt hurt and shocked.
He can't keep any food down.
And he can barely sleep at night.
Really?
Young Guk had no choice...
but to call you.
He thinks Se Jong might fall asleep...
if you read to him in bed.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay. Let's hurry up and go inside.
Six hundred and one.
Six hundred and two.
Six hundred and three.
Ms. Park!
Se Jong.
Ms. Park, is it really you?
Please tell me I'm not dreaming.
You're here to see me, right?
Yes. It's me, Se Jong. You're not dreaming.
I heard you were sick, so I came here to see you.
Are you sick? Can you tell me what the problem is?
When you just left me,
I was really sad.
I didn't want to eat.
And I couldn't even sleep.
Se Jong.
It makes me so sad that you're like this.
It breaks my heart.
I can't leave if you are sick like this.
I'm sorry, Ms. Park.
No, don't say that, Se Jong. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I'm so sorry, Se Jong.
Ms. Park, I'm sorry.
Gosh, what's all the fuss at this time of night?
This is so upsetting.
- I'm sorry, Se Jong. - I'm sorry.
Se Jong.
There's a reason I had to quit.
You know that, right?
Yes.
I know.
But Ms. Park...
I know all that,
but I just can't bring myself to eat when you're not here.
I can't swallow anything.
And I can't sleep.
Se Jong, it's not like we are saying goodbye for good.
We will meet again.
Do you remember what I told you during our trip?
That I would come back in three years.
It's not like you're dying.
You're not leaving this world.
So you're coming back, right?
Are you sure?
Of course, I'm sure.
I was afraid...
you would leave us and never come back like my mom.
No, Se Jong. I'm going to come back.
I'll make sure to come back to you.
Ms. Park...
Then...
promise me.
I promise.
I gave you my word.
So you should eat well,
sleep well, and stay healthy.
Can you do as I say? Promise me.
Yes.
I promise.
Then I will also eat well and take good care of myself.
Eat slowly, Master Se Jong.
You might get an upset stomach.
It's so good that I can't help it.
I have no problem now.
Do you want to try this soy-sauce braised beef?
It's really good!
This is unbelievable.
He couldn't even swallow anything earlier, but he's eating so well.
So Dr. Kim was right.
Mom, we don't have time for this.
- Let's hurry and go. - My gosh.
What's all the fuss? Is something good happening?
We have to go watch the show before it's over.
This is the day of my debut.
My drama is starting soon.
Is it true that you're going to be on TV?
Yes, it is.
It's a role without any lines,
but I pulled off an action scene where I jump over a wall.
- Like this. - Look at you.
All right. I'll go watch your drama debut.
All right. Let's go.
Mi Rim, why don't you come and watch it with us?
We can have some beer together.
That's a good idea. You should come with us if you have time.
- Right. - Okay.
- Let's go. - I'll finish things up and go.
We have to hurry.
I'm going to hurt all those who hurt me.
I'm not going to die.
Jun O, why don't I see you?
You said you had a scene where you ran away.
- What do you mean? - Well...
This is strange.
I swear, it was supposed to air today.
The wind has changed. I should put my sails up then.
The show is over.
Are you sure you shot the scene?
I think they edited my part out.
What? They edited it out?
I knew it.
I told you not to do this. This isn't a good idea.
Don't ever do something like this again. Got it?
Just go back to school already.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
Mi Rim, I'll see you later.
Hey.
"I have finally arrived after going around my neighborhood."
"I really like my neighborhood and my house."
You read him a story...
and he fell asleep just like that.
He ate a lot of porridge too.
I think he calmed down now.
Thank you so much.
Not at all.
You should go now. I'll drive you.
Your parents will be worried.
Okay.
What are you doing?
You promised me you'd let Dan Dan go.
Why must you give her a hard time when she's just getting used to it?
Why won't you keep your word?
I apologize.
My child was sick and I needed her help.
That's not a good enough excuse.
One call from you and a host of doctors flood the house.
Do you think I don't know you're using your kid to get to Dan Dan?
You're so shameless.
I can't believe someone like you is a chairman.
You should be ashamed.
Dad, why are you like this?
I went over there because Se Jong really was sick.
Dad. I came back.
I leave for the US tomorrow. Isn't that good enough?
Don't talk like that to Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee. You should go.
Dad. Let's go inside.
What are you doing?
You promised me you'd let Dan Dan go.
Why must you give her a hard time when she's just getting used to it?
Do you think I don't know you're using your kid to get to Dan Dan?
Dan Dan, have some breakfast.
I have to go somewhere.
Dan Dan.
Where would you go this early?
You're not going to his home again, are you?
I'm not.
Then where are you going?
I'm off to see Ms. Kim.
She asked me to help her with today's fashion show.
Why are you like this, Dad?
I did as you wanted. I ended it with Mr. Lee,
and I said I'd go to the US.
And I leave in two days.
What are you so worried about that you're acting like this?
Well...
You said you ended it,
but you keep going to his place and seeing him.
I told you that yesterday, I went because Se Jong was sick.
The little kid...
got sick because he missed me.
Should I just ignore that?
You're just too much.
Soo Chul, just let it go.
What if she gets too upset and her temper flares...
and she decides she won't go to the US?
Yes, Soo Chul.
She said it's over. Let her be.
Let's eat.
They say no secret is forever.
What if Dan Dan were to find out Anna Kim is her mom?
What'll you do then?
What?
We agreed not to bring that up again.
Mom.
I just don't think it's right...
to let her take Dan Dan with her.
The more I think about it, the more I get the chills.
She changed her face, feigned ignorance to approach us,
and tried to take Soo Chul and Dan Dan to the US with her.
It gives me the chills.
Switch these two around.
The lace...
Shall we pull up the hood?
Why is there no bag for this look?
I'm so sorry. I'll get it right away.
Ms. Park, it's really crazy, isn't it?
Yes, it is a bit,
but it's so fun and fascinating.
Is it?
Hang on.
Oh, dear. This is bad.
What's wrong?
I forgot the flash drive with the proposal...
for today's fashion show.
I must've been so out of it.
I need it for the show to happen.
I'm really sorry.
Can you take a taxi to my apartment?
Sure, I'll do that.
It'll be on my desk.
It's in a red pouch and should be easy to find.
Make sure the flash drive is in the pouch...
and bring it to me right away. Right now.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Thanks.
- I'll go right now. - Please.
She said the pouch would be on her desk.
Why don't I see it?
My gosh.
Photos of a baby?
That's odd.
They're just like the photos of me as a baby.
Who is it? Is it Ms. Kim's daughter?
It's not Ms. Kim's daughter.
It must be the daughter of this woman.
How can they look so much like my baby photos?
Do all babies look similar?
(Ms. Kim)
Hello, Ms. Kim.
Did you find the pouch?
I didn't see it on the desk, so I'm looking for it.
Ms. Park, will you look in the drawer?
Okay. Just a moment.
I found it.
I'll come right back.
Wait for me!
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Wait.
It's fine. Get in.
Darn it. I left my wallet in the cafeteria.
Excuse me.
What brings you to the office?
Ms. Anna Kim is having her fashion show today,
so I came here to lend a hand.
She sent me out on an errand.
I see. Is everything going smoothly...
with your preparations to go overseas?
Yes.
How's Se Jong doing?
Is he better?
Yes, thanks to you.
He had his breakfast and went to kindergarten.
Ms. Park.
I'm truly grateful.
What a relief.
Mr. Lee, I'm sorry about...
the harsh words my dad said last night.
I apologize on his behalf.
That isn't necessary. It's all right.
I should hurry along and get back to Ms. Kim.
I wish you good health, Mr. Lee.
The doors are closing.
Hold on.
Why are you back so soon?
You should've taken Ms. Park out for coffee and a conversation.
Shouldn't you be in the cafeteria looking for your wallet?
As if you believed that.
I excused myself to give you some time alone.
Why do I feel bad about this though?
Young Guk,
are you really going to let Ms. Park go to the States?
Stop her from leaving when you can and don't regret it later.
I have work to do.
Young Guk, this is wrong.
If you don't have the guts, I could always do it for you.
Jung Woo.
You're killing me. Seriously.
Unbelievable.
Are you really going to let Ms. Park go to the States?
Stop her from leaving when you can and don't regret it later.
Do you think I don't know you're using your kid to get to Dan Dan?
You're so shameless.
I can't believe someone like you is a chairman.
You should be ashamed.
I hear you ate your meal and had a blast with your friends.
Yes, I promised Ms. Park that I would stay strong...
until she came back.
You're so brave, Se Jong!
Ms. Park would be thrilled to know that you're staying strong.
Se Jong, since we're in a good mood today,
how about we have some fun?
Sounds good, Auntie!
Doing what though?
Let's play the stationery store video game.
The stationery store video game?
What's that?
This way.
Auntie, it's this.
But I don't know how to play.
Really? But it's only fun if we play it together.
What now?
Please enjoy.
Hey! Uncle, hello.
Oh, hi, Se Jong.
Uncle, do you know how to play this game?
Yes, of course.
That's great! Can you play this game with me?
Auntie doesn't know how, you see.
Really?
Why not? It sounds like fun.
The buttons seem sticky for some reason.
What's wrong with this?
Se Jong is winning.
Nice. I won!
Oh, no. I can't believe I lost to Se Jong.
I'll treat you to something since I won.
You'll treat me to something?
Yes, that's what my dad always says.
Auntie, I'm buying, but you'll have to pay.
What?
I want pizza, Auntie.
Let's go, Uncle. I'm buying, so you have to enjoy the pizza.
Sure. Let's go.
Look at you eat.
Have this too, Se Jong.
Auntie, I'll get us some salad.
No, let me.
No, I can do it myself.
I'm truly grateful that Ms. Park came by last night.
Se Jong had the worst case of separation anxiety.
But Ms. Park's visit put a smile back on his face.
Please tell her how grateful I am.
Sure.
By the way, this feels weird.
- What do you mean? - I know that we broke up,
but it doesn't feel that way.
It just feels like we were apart for a few days.
I don't know why I always feel at ease with you.
Just being with you brings me calmness.
You have no idea how happy I am right now.
Se Ryeon, don't wiggle your way into my life like this.
I heard about Se Jong yesterday...
which is why I chose to spend time with him today.
From what I hear, the kid was sick.
Okay, fine. I hear you. There's no need for a long speech.
Auntie, Uncle,
I got us a bowl of salad to eat together.
- Sure. - Thanks.
- Se Jong, dig in. - Got it.
Look at you eat.
The concept for FT Group's 2022 Spring-Summer collection...
is harmony.
Harmony among generations as well as that of golf and life.
This baby...
It looks just like me when I was young.
Could it be me in this photo?
No way.
Why would Ms. Kim have a photo of me as a baby?
Ms. Park,
would you allow me to hold you in my arms?
Sure.
Thank you, Ms. Park.
Ms. Kim,
I believed that my birth mother had passed away,
but she's currently in the US.
I would like to look for her,
but I don't know anyone there.
It's why I came to you grasping at straws.
I'm sorry, Ms. Park,
but I don't know anyone in the Korean community.
I doubt I can be of much help.
Anyway, I should get back to my work.
But Ms. Kim...
There's something odd about Ms. Kim.
Could she...
And the baby in this photo looks just like me.
Sir, I'm sorry to rush you, but could you speed up?
Sure thing.
- Good job, everyone. - Good job.
- Thank you.
I hear you're going to the US with Ms. Park.
That's right.
Of course. You should live where your life has been built.
I'll visit you if I ever go to New York.
Of course. Give me a call.
Got it.
We'll get going then.
Shall we?
Ms. Kim, that was great work.
Right. I have you to thank for the successful show.
Thanks.
This is where we should say goodbye.
Look after your health and do well over there.
Sure thing. You too.
Anyway, where did Dan Dan go?
She hasn't been in sight for a while.
This baby...
It's me.
What's going on?
Is this woman...
my birth mother?
Is that it?
Hello, ma'am.
Could we perhaps meet up right now?
Yes, as soon as possible.
Yes, it's her.
She's your birth mother.
Really?
Yes, I recognize her face.
Where did you get this photo though?
Are you sure that this is my birth mother?
Yes, of course.
Did you come to me because you couldn't ask your father?
But why does Ms. Anna Kim...
have photos of me and my birth mother?
Could she be Ms. Kim's younger sister?
But Ms. Kim said that she doesn't have any family.
Then...
could Ms. Kim be my birth mother?
What on earth am I thinking?
That's absurd.
If she were my mom, Dad would've recognized her.
I bet she cares for you even more because she doesn't have a family.
The helper I took over from told me that...
Ms. Kim moved to the US...
on her own when she was young and struggled before succeeding.
Then she almost died in a car crash.
Her face was badly hurt,
and she got over ten reconstructive surgeries.
Reconstructive surgery?
Really?
You saw it too.
When the chairman became 22,
he didn't recognize Ms. Kim and yelled at her to leave.
Reconstructive surgery?
Could...
Ms. Kim...
be my birth mother?
(Ms. Anna Kim)
Yes, Ms. Kim.
Ms. Park, where are you?
We gathered for a meal to celebrate the successful show.
Would you like to join us?
Are you at a team dinner?
I apologize.
You seemed busy so I left without saying anything.
I have friends to meet before leaving for the US.
Right.
I'll see you at the airport.
When will I get the result?
(Genetic Testing Center)
Around tomorrow afternoon.
I see.
(Genetic Testing Center)
Hey, Mom.
To the fried chicken place? Got it.
Am I making the right decision?
Right.
Well, it's better to clear all doubts...
before going to the US.
The fried chicken will be out soon.
- Dan Dan. - The woman of the hour is here.
- Come on in. - Hey, Dan Dan.
Dan Dan, have a seat.
You can sit over here.
Dan Dan, did something happen today?
You look more exhausted than usual.
I've been running around all day.
Were you with Ms. Kim up until now?
Was the fashion show a success?
Yes.
Dan Dan, I'm happy that you're going to the States.
Learn what you can and return after finding success.
Got it?
And... Here's the money I had exchanged.
Spend it on what you need over there.
Mi Sook, this isn't necessary!
As if. This is the least I can do...
for my niece who's moving abroad. Just take it.
Dan Dan, you're a lucky girl.
Don't embarrass your aunt and accept her generosity.
Thank you, Auntie. I'll spend it wisely.
Sure.
Hello, everyone!
- Hello. - My gosh.
Are you having a party?
My granddaughter is going to the US.
Gosh, you are so lucky.
Hyun Bin will be disappointed to hear that.
He really enjoyed taking English lessons with you.
I'll give Hyun Bin a call before I leave.
All right. You should do that.
- Why don't you have a seat here? - Sure.
Wait. Had I known earlier,
I would've prepared an envelope or something.
Here. Use this when you go to the US.
- No, it's okay. - Please don't do this, Yong Pil.
You should take what your elders offer you.
Go ahead and take it.
Right. Just take it.
It's not a common thing that Yong Pil offers money.
He's right.
You can get us some gifts when you come back.
- Okay. I will gratefully accept it. - All right.
- Please have a seat. - Sit here.
All right. Here's your chicken.
- And here's some beer. - The beer is here.
Gun, you should say something.
Okay. All right then.
Dan Dan will get on a plane...
to the US in two days. Let's make a toast...
- to her happiness. - Okay.
To Dan Dan's happiness and everyone's well-being.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Is everything going well with your girlfriend?
Don't ask me things like that.
From what I heard, I think it is going well.
Please have some chicken.
Is this woman my mom?
My mom who abandoned me?
She looks so normal.
How could someone like this abandon her own baby?
Right. It can't be Ms. Anna Kim.
Ms. Kim isn't someone who would abandon her own child.
Then what does this woman who abandoned me...
have to do with Ms. Kim?
Should I just ask Dad?
Right. It won't be too late to ask Dad...
after I get the DNA test results tomorrow.
Last January, Sujung Orphanage...
received 500,000 dollars from an anonymous donor,
and it became the talk of the town.
Sujung Orphanage is now...
looking for the donor...
to express their gratitude.
They could just use the money for the children.
Why would they want to look for me?
They won't be able to track me down though.
What if they find out that I stole the money?
Then Sa Ra will be a thief's daughter.
What do I do?
What? Gosh.
I don't recognize the number.
Who could it be?
Hello?
Hello. This is Ji Dong Won from Boguk Daily speaking.
Did you ever donate money to Sujung Orphanage, by any chance?
What? Donate money?
No, I've never done that.
Actually, I don't even have enough to live on.
You have the wrong number.
What? How did he know my number?
What am I going to do now?
What do I do?
Is this Sujung Orphanage?
I'm the one who donated 500,000 dollars a while back.
Please stop looking for me.
I'm begging you. Okay?
(Flower delivery)
Ms. Yeoju, here.
What is this?
I made some tteokgalbi for Se Jong. It's his favorite.
Really? Se Jong would like that.
Sa Ra, you're just here to arrange the flowers.
You don't have to do this. You must be tired.
I'm not tired.
I know what Se Jong likes best.
I practically raised him since he was little.
Thank you. I'll make sure Se Jong eats this.
Se Jong, did you have fun? It was fun, wasn't it?
Let's go.
What? Aren't you Ms. Cho?
It's been a while, Ms. Se Ryeon.
Hi, Se Jong.
Se Jong.
Ms. Cho brought some tteokgalbi for you.
That sounds delicious.
But I just had pizza, so I'm not hungry.
I'll be in my room.
By the way, what brings you here, Ms. Cho?
She comes twice a week to arrange the flowers.
What are you talking about? She does what?
I got a job at the flower shop at the intersection.
And I took care of the flowers when I worked here.
So...
Does my brother know about this?
He doesn't. Ms. Wang told me not to tell him.
Ms. Se Ryeon, please don't worry.
I was going to report it to Chairman Lee anyway.
I don't think this is something we can keep to ourselves.
Ms. Cho, I don't think you should come by anymore.
If Young Guk finds out, he won't let this slide.
You know what he's like.
Please do as I say.
Hey. Is Se Jong home? Is he fine?
Yes. He looks a lot better now.
My goodness.
Mom, why did you let Ms. Cho come to the house...
and arrange the flowers?
Is Ms. Cho here?
Yes. I mean, she was once engaged to Young Guk.
It's just ridiculous that she's here to arrange the flowers.
You should've stopped her.
I felt bad for her.
And she wanted to do this.
I just couldn't stop her.
Mom, what if Young Guk finds out?
Then he will blame you again.
Are you seriously so thoughtless?
My goodness. Sa Ra, you're here.
Yes. So...
Ms. Se Ryeon.
I just stop by during the day, so Mr. Lee won't ever see me.
And it's only twice a week.
So please let me keep coming here.
Ms. Cho, that's just not right.
I mean, you were once engaged to Young Guk.
I'm okay with all this.
I just want to come over to see Ms. Wang...
and the kids. That's all.
But it makes us uncomfortable.
She's right. I don't think this is a good idea.
If Young Guk finds out, he will be furious.
I'm saying I'm fine with this!
I'll be careful so that Mr. Lee doesn't find out!
Ms. Cho. Why are you so insistent?
Yes. I don't get it either.
Ms. Cho. Did you hide something in our home?
I didn't ask for money.
I just want to arrange their flowers.
Can't they let me do even that?
Should I do as Mom said and sue...
and get Se Jong back?
Welcome.
Why are you here at this hour?
It's my day off. I'm free.
Did you have lunch?
Yes.
What flowers do you need today?
Today...
I want a flower basket.
A flower basket?
It's especially for someone I like a lot.
Make me a pretty one.
Okay.
Is it almost done?
Yes.
Are you meeting someone today?
Not really.
Then...
I get off work in a bit.
Shall we have an early drink? It has been a while.
Sounds good.
Shall we do that?
- I'll get you the drinks. - Thank you.
It looks delicious. Eat up.
What's wrong?
It smells a bit fishy.
Then have the oyster jeon.
What's wrong? You don't like that either?
No.
I think what I had for lunch didn't agree with me.
What should we do then?
Shall we leave and walk instead?
You shouldn't drink if you have indigestion.
Let's do that. I don't feel good at all.
Let's go, then.
How do you feel now? Any better?
I do feel a bit better now that I'm walking outside.
That's good to hear.
Go home, drink something warm and rest.
I'll do that. Get back safely.
Here.
You said it's for someone you like.
Why give it to me?
You looked a bit glum.
I bought it for you.
Look at it and cheer up.
It's a gift.
Mister.
I told you not to feel any pressure.
We're friends. Just friends.
Thank you.
I want to thank you even more.
For letting me be a friend.
When will you ever stop crying?
(Chairman Lee Young Guk)
Hi, Se Ryeon.
How is Se Jong today?
Okay. Until we find a new tutor,
discuss and take care of things with Ms. Kim.
Thanks a lot. Bye.
Hello, Lee Young Guk speaking.
What?
Anna Kim is that Kim Ji Young?
You mean that Anna Kim...
is Park Dan Dan's birth mother?
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
I cross-checked multiple times.
I emailed you all the relative files.
Okay.
Good job.
No way.
How...
Ms. Park is young. She's just 27 years old.
How could you do this?
What if people were to find out?
They'll wonder what FT Group's chairman is doing with a young girl,
and they'll automatically target Ms. Park.
What are you thinking? Why make this so bad?
However close she is with you, I think she went a bit too far.
It didn't sound like advice.
One might even think she is Ms. Park's mom.
Mr. Yoon, get my car.
- I'll drive myself. - Yes, sir.
Why would Young Guk visit me here?
Why are you here unannounced?
There's something I must ask you.
Is there? What is it?
Anna.
What's your relationship with Ms. Park?
Young Guk.
What do you mean?
What's my relationship with Ms. Park?
Ms. Park is about to fly with me to the US...
to be my employee.
Did you come all the way here to ask me that? That's silly.
Is it true that you're her birth mother?
What?
Young Guk...
What are you saying?
Why would you say such a thing?
Anna.
Don't think of lying to me.
Ms. Park wanted to find her birth mother,
so I had been looking.
And I got the report today.
Ms. Park's birth mother is Kim Ji Young.
She had Ms. Park 27 years ago...
and left for the US less than three months later.
That person is Anna Kim.
It's you.
I found out today.
Young Guk.
It's you, isn't it?
Ms. Park's birth mother.
Kim Ji Young.
Young Guk.
That was all in the past.
What?
In the past?
You left her as a newborn...
and that's in the past?
Yes. That was the past.
A long time ago.
Is that so?
It may be the past, a long time ago for you,
but do you think Ms. Park feels the same?
Does Ms. Park know you're her birth mother?
Is that why she's going with you?
Well...
Why can't you answer if it's in the past?
Anna. Tell Ms. Park now.
Since it's the past,
tell her you're the mom who abandoned her!
Young Guk.
I beg of you.
Dan Dan won't want to come with me if she finds out.
So please, pretend you don't know.
You want me to ignore that you're lying to her to take her with you?
No. She must know this.
How can you think of deceiving her to take her with you?
How could you do such a thing?
I made the arrangement with her father, Soo Chul.
So...
What?
What did you say?
Is that true?
Yes, so as long as you stay quiet,
me being her birth mother...
won't be an issue.
Her father approved of this.
Anna, it wouldn't have mattered had I not known the truth,
but I can't turn a blind eye to this.
I believe that Ms. Park has a right to know.
So tell her yourself before I do.
Clear this matter before you head out to the US.
If you don't, I'll have no choice but to tell her myself.
I'll see myself out then.
Young Guk, wait.
Young Guk...
Once Dan Dan gets on that plane,
I'll have nothing to worry about.
All she has to do is get on the plane.
Darn it!
What's this about? I told you not to call me.
We're in trouble.
Young Guk found out that I'm Dan Dan's mother.
What? What did you just say?
Soo Chul, what do we do?
He hired someone to look for me...
in hopes of finding Dan Dan's birth mother.
He's going to tell her if I don't tell her myself.
That I'm the mother who abandoned her.
Are you serious?
Dan Dan won't leave with me once she finds out.
You need to stop him.
Stop him before he gets to Dan Dan.
I'm a nervous wreck right now.
I told him that you approved...
of Dan Dan going to the US with me.
So go to him and sort this out.
(Chairman Lee)
Hello?
It's Lee Young Guk.
I would like a word.
Could we meet in person?
Yes, of course.
I heard you're aware...
that Anna Kim is the mother who abandoned Ms. Park.
Is this true?
She...
Yes, she's Dan Dan's birth mother.
Then tell me.
How can you keep this from Ms. Park...
and knowingly send her to the US?
Are you going this far...
to keep her away from me?
Yes, that's right.
It's because of you.
Just like you wanted,
we terminated our relationship.
So what else could be the issue?
Ms. Kim is the mother who abandoned Ms. Park.
Ms. Park has a right to know the truth.
All you have to do is turn a blind eye.
Mr. Lee, please don't say anything...
so that Dan Dan can go to the US with Ms. Kim.
It's true that she's the mother who abandoned Dan Dan,
but she still gave birth to her.
I know that she'll take good care of Dan Dan.
So please,
look the other way and let Dan Dan be happy.
I'm begging you.
Do you truly believe that this is for her own good?
I don't.
You're deceiving her.
Just imagine how shocked she'd be...
when she finds out the truth.
If you truly want what's best for her,
you'll tell her the truth.
You can send her abroad if she agrees to it...
after knowing all the facts.
It's wrong to make her go...
while keeping her in the dark.
Mr. Lee, please turn a blind eye to this.
I'm begging you.
I can't condone this.
You have until tonight to tell Ms. Park the truth.
If she agrees to leave after you tell her,
I won't get involved in this matter.
But if you keep her from this truth,
I will tell her myself.
Then...
What are you going to do?
Are you going to tell Dan Dan?
How can I?
She'd never forgive us for what we've done.
She won't agree to go to the US.
And then she'll get back together with Chairman Lee.
He used the kids as an excuse to ask her to his house last night.
What? Is that true?
What do we do then?
You don't know how Young Guk can be.
He's not kidding about telling Dan Dan.
It won't be long before she finds out.
We have no other choice.
Get Dan Dan and leave the country right away.
What? Right now?
Take a layover in Japan if you have to.
I'll get down on my knees if I have to...
and beg for Chairman Lee's silence.
So take Dan Dan and leave right away.
Leave the country in any way you can.
All right.
Make preparations for her to leave then.
I'll get ready on my end as well.
Dan Dan.
Honey, what is it? Is something wrong?
Honey, is Dan Dan in your mother's room?
No, she left earlier to get some things sorted out.
She went out?
To do what? I can't reach her on her phone.
She didn't say.
Why isn't she picking up though? Maybe it's on silent mode.
Mother, are Dan Dan's bags packed?
Yes, I think so. Why do you ask?
My gosh. Honey.
Why are you bringing out her suitcases?
She's leaving today.
- What? - Today and not tomorrow?
The receiver cannot be reached.
- Darn it. - You will be directed to voicemail.
Why isn't she picking up? Could something be up?
Dan Dan, where are you? You need to get home immediately.
Something urgent came up and Ms. Kim has to leave today.
So hurry home once you get this text.
Honey, she'll be leaving tomorrow anyway,
so what's the rush?
Is there an issue with her plane ticket?
What? It's just that something came up.
Besides, the sooner, the better.
(Genetic Testing Center)
(Maternity Test Results)
(16 out of 16, 99.999 percent)
(The test proves maternity by 99.999 percent.)
Are you all right?
There must be a mistake.
Could there be an error in the result?
I'm afraid not. The test is highly accurate.
No way.
Is...
Ms. Anna Kim...
really my birth mother?
How could this be?
What a freaky coincidence.
Mr. Park, the driver.
Is he really your father?
Ms. Park,
how about you work with me?
No.
This isn't a coincidence.
She approached us knowing who we were.
Ms. Kim...
deceived us all!
How can she do this...
after abandoning me and Dad?
I must tell Dad right away. He must know about this.
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
I only came by to ask you one question.
- Dan Dan... - Why did you abandon me?
I felt trapped living that way.
Never show your face to me again.
I don't think I could forgive you.
What brings you by at this hour?
I was wondering if Dan Dan was here.
Ms. Park, where are you?
Ms. Park!
Ms. Park?
I thought you had something to say. Where are you taking me?
- What is this place? - It's where I live.
Who's this young lady?
Did you invite her here to introduce me to her?
- Please bring Dan Dan out. - Once she's in a better state...
I'm taking my daughter home.
Father!
Ms. Park isn't your property.
How can you act this way after breaking her heart?
I won't let her go again.
From here on out, I will take care of her.
