(Episode 75)

My baby...

Seol-hwa, my baby...

Seol-hwa.

My baby.

Why is she crying calling Seol-hwa's name?

What brings you here? Are you here on business?

I'm here to see my mother. What about you?

I'm here to see her too.

Any problem with Mother again?

No. I came to ask her about Se-Na.

I had a nice talk with her.

I'm telling you the truth.

The tone of her voice was still cold,

but I'm convinced she's not a bad person.

Also, the way she looks at me has changed...

since the day she came to return my ring.

- Ring? - Remember? She came all the way for my ring.

That day and also the day I met her to give her porridge,

I could feel she was looking at me with a kind heart.

Seol-hwa, about that ring of yours.

- Did your mother give it to you in person? - No, my dad gave it to me.

- Then you don't know who your real mother is? - No, I don't.

I've never seen her and my dad wouldn't talk about her.

What's wrong?

Is there any reason for asking about my ring?

Let me guess.

Is it because your family wants to know about my biological mother?

No. I got curious about it myself. That's why.

I was thinking about going to see your grandmother after work.

- What do you want to see her about? - I want to apologize for not telling her.

If so... I think it's better for us to see her together when I'm available.

I don't think so.

I better go see her today. If not, she would get really offended. Leave it to me.

Come in.

- Here's the fabric sample book. - Thank you.

Your first son was here.

I met him on my way to get the sample book. He came here to see you, right?

- He was here? - Yes, he was. You didn't get to see him?

I see. You can go now.

Seol-hwa.

I received the detail plans and the contact list from Ji-sang.

I was expecting to get them from you.

I worked on them and asked Ji-sang to review them and hand them over to you.

Was there a problem?

- I wonder what? - That's not what I'm talking about.

It's your job. Why did you let Ji-sang do your work?

- Is it because you're trying to avoid me? - Who says I'm avoiding you?

I couldn't do it myself because I had to rush out to see Jun-sang's mother.

- Next time, I'll do it myself. - You went out to see who?

Her again? You have no reason to see her.

- Come. - Wait.

Seol-hwa.

What's wrong with him?

- What's the matter with you? We're at work here. - Why do you keep on meeting her?

- You have no reason to see Jun-sang's mother! - I don't get it.

- I don't see the reason why you should get so furious about it. - You're...

Isn't it true they know everything about you now?

She's been against your relationship from the start. You have no reason to see her.

I went for Se-Na. I felt bad Se-Na had to lose her chance because of me.

You mean you went to see her because you're concerned about Se-Na?

And you still want to marry Jun-sang?

If you love him and want to marry him with all your heart,

you'd have been there to beg her to approve your relationship.

But instead, you went for Se-Na.

- That proves you don't have feelings for Jun-sang. - Listen.

- I don't want to argue with you about that. - Neither do I.

I also hate being angry with you. But,

I hate to see you get hurt, all the more.

What makes you so certain I'll get hurt?

I know. This whole situation is very upsetting.

But I'm convinced I can turn it around if I work on it real hard.

You're wrong.

You can't turn it around.

Okay then.

If you plan to keep pushing yourself to marry him not listening to your heart,

- I have to do it my way. - What do you mean?

Wait.

Is this your ring?

Yes, it's mine. It's my ring.

Are you sure...

it's yours?

It seemed you were crying not because you were sick...

but because of the ring.

And I got curious about the ring.

No, you got it wrong.

No, it can't be. Seol-hwa and my mother...

No, it can't be.

- Ma'am, you have a visitor. - A visitor?

I'm here, Grandma.

What brings you here?

I feel so bad you had to leave my house so suddenly the other day.

I want to apologize for not telling you earlier about it.

I was trying to find the right moment to tell you, but I guess I was wrong.

I've got this... You seem to like sweet things so I got flower cookies for you.

How did you know I like sweet stuff?

I remembered you loved sweet jellies last time I was here.

What are you going to do about your relationship with Jun-sang?

I told him I'm against it.

Grandma, I don't want to hurt Jun-sang or his family.

If he has to break up with me because his family disapprove,

he will start blaming his family. I don't want that to happen.

I want him to have a close relationship with his family.

I know you don't approve of me, but I want to try my best before I give up.

You mean you're not going to break up with him?

Even if I don't approve.

If you continue to disapprove after all my efforts,

then I'll break up with him no matter what.

I care for Jun-sang a great deal,

but I don't think it can be greater than how you feel about him.

I won't marry him if you don't approve.

I give you my word.

She is so sweet and so convincing.

You're late.

I know. I went to see Jun-sang's grandma.

Why? Did she ask you to come to tell you to stop seeing him?

No, it wasn't anything like that. I thought I better go and see her.

What is it?

The thing is...

I went to see her to talk about you. But she treated me so coldly so...

- Why did you go see her? - I told you. I would do whatever I can to help you out.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disaster.

Mom, more than anything else,

I hate it most when you're upset because of me.

If there's a need to see her, I'll go and see her myself whether it be good or bad.

- I want you to stay out of it, okay? - Seol-hwa.

Mom.

You need not worry so much. I'm good.

Please enjoy.

Okay, this will get me blow up my stress.

Are you sure you can eat them all?

What am I to you? You can't just call me and ask me to buy you dinner.

I bought you your clothes. This is the least you can do for me.

- If that's the case, I also bought you a scarf. It makes us even. - So what?

Does this feel like a rip off?

That's not what I mean.

Okay. You just go ahead and eat.

I was about to call you anyway.

- Call me? Why? - I wanted to cheer you up. I know you got fired.

How did you know?

I get it. Seol-hwa told you.

Geum Seol-hwa, Geum Seol-hwa, Geum Seol-hwa!

My life is blocked by a mountain called Geum Seol-hwa. She always gets in my way.

- Actually, you're the one who's putting her in a difficult position. - Excuse me?

Never mind.

Let me ask you. Why do you hate her so much? I really don't understand why.

Why do you think I have this stress triggered food craving syndrome?

- What's that? - You don't know? You eat a lot when you're under stress.

I got this because I wasn't breast fed long enough because of Seol-hwa.

- What did you say? That doesn't make sense. - Whatever.

From the day I was born, I wasn't given enough care because of her.

I had to pack my own bag in my kindergarten days.

Nobody cared if I went to school or not because they were busy taking care of her.

Don't say anything if you don't know what I went through.

I know. There's a reason for everything.

Go ahead and eat now.

Eat as much as you want, okay?

What do you plan to do from now on? I know modeling was just a part-time job.

I don't know. Why are you so interested in my life?

If you didn't want my attention, you shouldn't have called me in the first place.

And stop crying in front of me every time we...

It bothers me a lot, you know.

What is it you really want to do?

Like Seol-hwa,

I want to get married to a guy... from a wealthy family.

- Say something I can do for you. - I'm not asking you to do anything.

Do you want me to introduce you to a team that wants a reporter?

- You can also work with us if you want. - I don't think so.

- How much would you pay? - Depends.

I'm home, Mom.

What's wrong? Did you cry?

No. Why should I cry?

- Your eyes are swollen, you know. - No, they're not. Did you have dinner?

Yes, I had two whole pizzas.

Mom, can I ask you something? Why did you fire her?

- Is it really because of Seol-hwa? - Who? You mean Miss Geum Se-Na?

Yes, her. You shouldn't have fired her.

If Seol-hwa and Jun-sang get married, she'll be our in-law. Right?

In-law? No way. It's never going to happen.

And I don't want you to be too close to Miss Geum Seol-hwa.

Mom, I've known her for so many years.

If it doesn't work out for her and Jun-sang, our relationship will remain the same.

- She's like a big sister to me. - Stop saying that.

- Mom. - You listen to your mother. Stay away from her.

Come in.

Did you come to see me today?

- Yes. - What was it about?

Did you want to talk about her?

No, I happen to be in the area so I thought I had a word with you.

But I couldn't because something came up.

Are you sure? I'm surprised.

You should visit me without any specific reason.

- Okay, then. - Mother.

Did you find the ring you had lost?

- What ring? - The ring you lost at the orphanage.

Why do you look so surprised?

It's just that... I didn't expect you to ask that question.

You said you mistook Seol-hwa's ring with yours so...

you took her ring home, remember?

Oh, now I remember.

Yes, I've found the ring.

- Then, what about that child? - What?

- What child? - I saw you talking on the phone looking for a child.

I remember you asking anxiously if they've found the child.

Oh, that child. Of course. That child from that orphanage. They've found the child.

Funny you should ask me all these questions.

Son, what are you doing out here?

- Father, you're back from the shop now? - Yes.

Why are you standing here like this?

- There're things I need to sort out so... - Things to sort out?

Is there a problem?

I was so occupied with Seol-hwa these days that I didn't have time to talk with you.

What is it that's troubling you?

- Father. - Yes, I'm listening.

Father, I'm your son, right?

Of course you are. And you're no ordinary son, you know.

You're truly a special and a precious son.

You have no idea how much I depend on you these days.

There're things I can't tell my wife or my girls.

You're the only person I could talk to. What would I have done without you?

Look at me. I'm talking about myself when I'm supposed to listen to your trouble.

No, it's okay. You better go in now.

Okay. You can talk to me any time you want to.

Oh, I forgot.

I forgot to put the meat back into the fridge. I better go back and put it in.

No, father. Let me do it.

No, I know you had a long day too. Let me do it.

No, I want to do it. I think I need some fresh air too.

All right.

Obviously, something's troubling him. Why wouldn't he tell me?

Your back is all covered now.

It's going to cost more to buy all these plasters.

- Does it hurt a lot? - No, it's not that bad.

- Even if I hit you like this? - Hey, it hurts! Why did you have to do that?

Because I don't want to lie about things like that.

You better go back home.

You haven't done this kind of work and I hate to see you do it.

No, I'm a new man now. You made me born again, you know.

What should I do with you?

Min-gyu, how come your mother doesn't look for you?

She called me many times at first, but not anymore.

What about your sister?

Shouldn't she be worried? Her only brother's been missing for so long.

My sister? Forget it. She doesn't care about anybody else except herself.

Bae Min-gyu, I feel so sorry for you.

Don't look at me like that. Kim calls me now and then to check on me.

He's way better than your family.

Whatever. You can't go on living like this. We need to do something about it.

I'm really fine.

As long as you're next to me.

Hey, go away. I said don't do it.

Why not? My eyes got sore because I wanted to see you so badly.

Look at my eyes. They got smaller, see?

I said back off.

Hey, come here.

Listen. Didn't you hear that just now?

No, I heard nothing. Come here, Doo-Na.

Bae Min-gyu.

- Dr. Han. - Oh my.

Doo-Na, are you out of your mind?

So you lied to your parents and stayed here every night?

- Let me explain. He was so afraid being alone so... - Geum Doo-Na!

- It was all my fault. - No, it was my fault.

Dr. Han, don't blame her. It's all my fault.

I know you hate to see my face but still...

I'm sorry this had to happen. I had no place to go to so I had to stay here.

You know what?

He's cut out from his family after he came forward and sent in his resignation.

He left his home because he thought he didn't deserve a comfortable life.

- You can't be too hard on him. Please. - So he ends up staying here?

Without telling Father about it?

Enough. No more excuses. I want both of you to get out of here right away.

- Dr. Han. - Please.

Get out before Mother and Father find out about this.

I don't get it.

Why did you have to make trouble at a time like this?

I have too many things on my mind already. Seol-hwa and all that.

I'm so sorry.

What is this you've got?

Since you'd paid for the damage caused by the malpractice,

Min-gyu has been working to pay you back and I was helping him out with it.

These are the things I got for the stories I'd sent to the radio programs.

I'll give you the money when I sell these.

Why should you do that? Why should you pay me back?

I want to help Mi-gyu, of course. But there are things I feel sorry about so...

You're my family and you've been so good to me and I've done nothing in return.

You even covered for Min-gyu for my sake.

I know I can trust you, right? This will stay between us?

Doo-Na.

Do you love him that much? So much that you would lie to your parents?

The thing is... I know I shouldn't but...

I don't know how but I ended up loving him.

I feel so bad I have to lie to Mom and Dad, but I can't help it.

I'm telling you, you should put your love before your...

Forget I said that.

It didn't come out right. I'm not in a position to give you any advice.

Let's go in now.

You must promise me. You won't tell Dad and Mom, okay?

- Come on in. - Okay.

- Excuse me? Why did you go there again? - No need to shout at me like that.

I had to do whatever I could to change her mind, you know.

Didn't I tell you it's not going to work for them?

I told you, didn't I? You should talk Seol-hwa out of it. And look what you did.

- You've got no reason to do that. - I've got no reason?

Funny you should put it that way. In case you've forgotten, I'm her mother.

Doesn't it give you enough reason to visit that house?

- Do you know how painful it is to hear you say that? - You know what I mean.

I beg you. Please don't do anything. Okay?

What's best for Seol-hwa at this point is to convince her to stop seeing Jun-sang.

This is ridiculous. You're the one who caused all this mess, and look at you.

I know exactly what you mean.

None of us has done anything wrong and look what mess we're in.

You know what I wish for these days? Give the lady back the shop...

and go somewhere nice and quiet.

Dad, do you need anything?

What is it, Dad?

Nothing. I'm sorry to drag you into this mess.

Don't say that, Dad.

To hear you and Mom say that makes me feel so uneasy.

- Seol-hwa. - Yes, Dad?

What do you think of...

Jun-sang's mother?

- I know she made lots of harsh remarks to you. - Not really.

Yes, there're times she does that because she's not that fond of me.

But I don't feel too bad about it.

You know what? I went to see her today to talk about Se-Na.

The tone of her voice sounded angry,

but I could tell she had a caring look on her face.

That's rather odd, isn't it?

I'm telling you this to let you know you need not be so upset about all this.

I was mistaken and her feelings toward me isn't as bad as I had imagined.

- Hello again. - You're...

Oh, I know. You came with the girl looking for the ring, right?

- You're Mrs. Yun's son. - That's right.

I appreciate your help the other day.

I'm here to give you this to thank you.

I did what I had to do. You didn't have to do this.

Thank you, anyway.

- The kids will love it. - I understand my mother visits here often.

Of course.

She is here to do the volunteer work. And there're other things too.

- Thank you for helping her find that child. - You know about it?

She told me not to tell her mother-in-law. I figured none of her family knew.

- I knew about it. - I don't know why, but since the day...

she came to return the ring, she told me stop searching for the child.

And I figured she found her daughter...

Oh, I shouldn't have said that.

No, it was just my speculation.

Your mother never said it was her daughter she was looking for.

It's okay.

I've been also looking for her to help her find her daughter.

Do you have any documents I can have a look at?

There's no document. Just her birthday.

December 9, 1989. That's her birthday, isn't it?

That's correct.

You already knew.

All I've got was her birthday and that's why it was so difficult to find her.

Is there a problem?

No. Not at all.

Thank you for everything.

So you found out who Seol-hwa's real mother is?

How can I find that out so soon? Even a capable guy like me need time to do that.

Something came up while digging into Mr. Geum, and I came to brief you on that.

Wonder if you remember. He mentioned on TV he was raised in an orphanage.

So I made a visit to that orphanage...

and you know what? I saw Mr. Yun Jun-sang right there.

- Why should he be there? - I haven't got the faintest idea.

I couldn't hear properly because I was being cautious not to get caught.

Anyway, as you can see from the document,

what strikes me the most is the person who was raised together in that orphanage.

(Mo Nan-seol)

Mrs. Yun was also raised in that orphanage with Mr. Geum.

I did more investigation and found out she was there with him until she was 18.

Mrs. Yun was raised in an orphanage?

Enjoy your run.

Are you okay now? You were tossing all night.

I'm good. It's just that there're things I have to take care of at work.

Jun-sang, are you breaking up with Miss Geum?

You refuse to answer me?

Your grandma told you she's against it and so am I.

- And yet, you're not going to give her up? - If it's about her real mother,

you know you can't blame her for that.

It's entirely her mother's fault.

Jun-sang.

Mother, what do you think? Do you agree with him?

Oh, of course.

If there's something bothering us at the beginning, it's likely to end up bad.

Apparently, it's best for all of us to end your relationship with her at this point.

You have a lot on your shoulder. Your family and the firm. You need to be discrete.

Don't drag it on. Just get it over with.

Mother. Does it bother you so much? Me getting married to Seol-hwa?

It's not entirely up to me. Everybody’s against it. And you know it.

I don't see why you should object to this marriage.

I know you never wanted to see me marry a girl..

From a decent family.

I said we should keep a low profile. This won't do any of us good.

Are you sure you have no other reason to disapprove?

Reason? What are you talking about?

- I was just... - Don't lie to me anymore.

You're against this marriage because Seol-hwa is your daughter.

Isn't that why you're doing this to us?

(Golden Pouch)

I have nothing to do with her. She's not my daughter.

- Mom. - What's going on here?

If you were married, I would have taught you were pregnant.

Jun-sang, everything will be fine if you give up.

This will pass as if nothing has happened.

I've made up my mind. I'm moving out. If I have to choose, I'd choose you.
