(Episode 70)

We're here, Grandma.

Hello.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Moo Goong Hwa.

Please have a seat.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

It mustn't have been easy for you.

Please don't mention it.

I heard you work with Tae Jin.

Yes, I do.

Then does everyone at the substation know about you two?

No.

That's a relief.

I didn't want to meet you like this,

but we ended up meeting anyway.

He's been pestering us so badly.

- Grandma. - Be quiet.

Did Tae Jin tell you about our family's situation?

Yes, he told me that you're very worried.

Yes. I had high standards...

for my future granddaughter-in-law.

That's probably why. I was very surprised.

Grandma.

I should ask her what I want to know since I told her to come meet us.

That's why I asked you to bring her.

There are things that I have to make clear to you,

as well as things I want to hear from you.

I don't even know if we'd be able to bring in the tea.

It's pretty tense in there.

We should. She's still a guest. We should give her some tea at least.

Grandma asked Tae Jin to bring her to make it clear to her.

What? What do you mean by that?

Did you think she asked her to come to give them her permission?

Well, why did she make her come all the way here if that was the case?

He's such a fool.

Why does he have to put the woman he loves through this ordeal?

He frustrates me so much.

We should bring out some tea at least.

I was just going to.

Please go ahead.

Thank you.

How old is your child?

She's seven years old.

You got married at a young age.

These days, not many people get married that early.

- Grandma. - All right.

What choice do I have when you two like each other so much?

You two are adults. It's not like you'd listen to me and break up.

I have no choice but to accept it.

Will your mother take care of your child?

Pardon me?

- I don't understand... - Grandma.

She's not done yet.

Tae Jin is the grandson of the head family.

He's also a third-generation only son.

Accepting a woman who were once married and have a child alone...

means that we yielded a great deal.

So don't bring your child to our family.

Grandma.

Be quiet.

You must be disappointed, but we have no choice.

If your mother were me,

she wouldn't do any differently.

I understand...

what you mean.

I didn't want to tell you things like this.

I feel bad.

I'll get going now.

Grandma, how could you...

I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. Go home safely.

Goodbye.

This is unbearably harsh.

Let's talk.

Later.

- Goong Hwa. - Let's talk later.

Grandma.

How could you do that?

Tae Jin.

Did you really have to do that?

How dare you raise your voice?

Why didn't you just say that you're against our marriage?

How could you say that to her?

Gosh, you brat.

I like her...

very much.

I said you can marry her. I won't stop you.

Isn't that enough? Why are you making a fuss?

- Grandma! - You!

Do you even know how I feel?

I know how you must feel.

I'm sorry that I let you down.

But how could you...

How could you tell her to leave her child?

When we yielded this much, she should make a sacrifice too.

Is she going to raise her child even after marrying you?

How shameless she is.

Why do you even like a woman like her?

That's why I like her.

- Tae Jin! - I like that about her.

She would never...

be able to give up on her child.

I'll make it clear.

I won't break up with her.

Also,

I will take care of her child with love to the end.

How dare you?

I'm sorry, Grandma.

Please answer your phone.

That was too harsh.

She wouldn't have done that if things weren't that bad.

Even if that's true, it even made me want to cry.

Imagine how Officer Moo must've felt when she heard that.

She should've said she wouldn't approve of her.

Why did she have to call her over and break her heart?

How do you think Tae Jin is feeling right now?

He watched the woman he loves leave like that.

He must be feeling the way you did when you let me go.

Where are you going?

I'm frustrated.

I'm going to get some fresh air.

Should I let her know this or not?

All right. Shall I begin?

Done.

Su Hyuk, congratulations on starting afresh.

What time is it now?

I don't think... Hey, look at this. Hey, look.

- What is it? - What?

It's nothing.

What is this?

Gosh. Bo Ra.

What's going on here?

What happened last night?

Did a fairy come here or what?

This office looks so cozy and pretty now.

I thought Ms. Koo was only tough, but she's actually feminine.

Hello?

Hi, Mom.

I'm not at home. I'm in the office.

We got one not long ago.

You don't have to worry about me anymore.

Goong Hwa?

Did you say Goong Hwa went to your house?

What?

(Mr. Cha Tae Jin)

(Mr. Cha Tae Jin)

(Mr. Cha Tae Jin)

(Moo Su Hyuk)

- Su Hyuk. - Where are you now?

The device is powered off. Please try again...

You came.

Have you lost your mind?

I want to lose my mind tonight.

It looks like you already had a drink.

How did you know?

Ju Young's mom called.

I heard you went to his place.

Yes. His grandmother wanted to meet me.

Was it really bad?

What happened? Is she absolutely against it?

No, she gave us her permission.

Then what's the problem?

But...

Hey.

She told me that I can't bring Woo Ri.

What did you just say?

That's what she said.

So? What did you say to that?

What could I have said? I just left.

I didn't want to say anything.

What can I say to that?

What about Mr. Cha? Was he just watching you?

There's nothing he could do.

She's his grandmother, you know.

I must be a horrible mom.

That was all I could think as I was hearing her saying that.

"I'm such a horrible mom."

Goong Hwa.

Because of me, Woo Ri has to...

Why are you crying like an idiot?

I just think I'm so pathetic.

Even though I like him so much,

I've been so anxious.

It must've been because I knew something like this would happen.

I guess I wanted to pretend as if I wasn't aware...

because I like him so much.

But...

Why did you even go there without any plans on how to deal with it?

To tell you the truth,

I thought things might go well.

I thought it'd be possible.

These days, many single moms like me get married...

to men who raise the children with love as if they're their own.

I thought if...

If they accept Woo Ri,

I should be...

I thought I should be really good to them.

"I shouldn't forget about it and make sure to repay their kindness."

That's what I told myself.

I was such an idiot.

So?

What will you do now?

What can I do?

What kind of question is that?

Let's get up.

- Woo Ri is waiting for you. - You're right.

I should go to Woo Ri.

Mom's home, Woo Ri.

Mom is...

Mom is so sorry.

It must be Tae Jin.

My gosh.

Tae Jin, you're just getting back now?

Yes.

Good night, everyone.

Yes, you too. Go in and get some rest.

Goodness.

You guys should get ready for bed too.

Okay.

Mother, Tae Jin is back.

I heard.

He must resent me a lot.

Please don't worry about him. Get some sleep, Mother.

Mother, shall I bring you some digestive aids?

There's no need. Pills won't make me feel better.

You should get some rest too.

Okay. Have a good sleep, Mother.

I thought I'd no longer have to do things like this,

yet I ended up breaking someone's heart once again.

The things that parents do for their children...

Hey, where are you going so early?

I'm going to work out.

Let me see your face.

Why do you look so tired? Did you not have a good sleep?

I'm fine.

Your eyes look puffy.

I was tossing and turning a little.

Again? Why?

I guess you can't stop worrying about me.

I'm sorry. I keep making you worry about me.

I'll make sure you won't have to worry anymore.

I'll see you later.

She left so early to exercise. I think I know what's going on.

We should hire someone to mow the lawn.

The weeds grew so much all through the summer.

All right, let's do that. Where's Do Hyun?

He went out early to work out.

I think he really has changed.

He's full of energy these days.

You said he's pretty good at his job too.

He's just a slacker.

Once he sets his mind to something, he gets it done. He takes after me.

Do you know if he's seeing someone these days?

Sorry?

In many cases, men change like this because of the women they like.

Is that what's going on?

Not at all.

Gosh, he's not seeing anyone. I got excited for a second there.

No, I have a feeling that he has someone.

It's because of the hotel project.

He's so excited about it.

Had I known, I would've given him the project a long time ago.

I've been observing him, and he's very good at what he does.

He really has changed a lot.

But there really might be someone.

He said he wants to bring a woman to the hotel...

once all the work is completed.

See? I'm certain that he has someone.

Should I ask Jae Hee about this?

You're always on his side,

so you'll approve of anyone he likes no matter what, right?

Don't be ridiculous. Why would I approve of anybody?

I should consider everything.

Do you think you can convince Do Hyun?

I don't think you can do that.

You always have a soft spot for him.

It's just that I go easy on him.

Also, you just don't know...

how picky he is. He wouldn't choose a wife thoughtlessly.

He dated a lot of girls, but he never caused any problem.

If so, I'm relieved.

Are you crying?

I asked you if you were crying!

Let go of me.

What is it?

Why are you crying? That makes me so angry!

Is this because of that jerk Cha Tae Jin?

Let go of me now!

Drink this.

Come on. I waited for you to give you this.

Goong Hwa.

Leave her alone.

She cried a lot.

She cried because of you, right?

Gosh, you little...

I really don't like you.

She's making my blood boil. Why would she cry?

She cried because of that nobody.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy!

What made you so angry this time?

Your work is going well.

Chairman Jin asked me if you have a girlfriend.

- So? - I said you don't.

It's such a big problem.

That jerk Cha Tae Jin. Darn it.

Hey, did you arrange a meeting with Senior Inspector Hwang as I said?

Yes, I did. He said he'll be available tonight.

- Next week is even better. - Set the meeting today.

What are you going to do when you meet him?

I have a lot to look into.

We got many calls from the residents near the murder scene today.

Gosh. I hope the murderer will get caught soon.

There's not even a suspect.

You guys are checking on that area, right?

Yes, sir. We've been checking on the area more carefully.

That's the least we can do to help the residents feel safe.

I heard at the police station...

that loan sharks are involved in the case.

- Loan sharks? - Yes.

His family members testified that he suffered because of loan sharks.

He took out loans for his driving range. Loan sharks went there often.

I heard it was so tense in there.

Most business owners use money from loan sharks.

It's so hard to take a loan from a bank.

Why did it happen in our area? It's giving me a headache.

I hope it'll be resolved soon, so we can be relieved.

Officer Moo, you must be even more concerned.

Pardon?

You saw the crime scene. It must be much harder for you to go there.

I know.

What are we going to do? It's our job.

Officer Moo, you should stay strong.

Yes, I will. Please don't worry.

Thinking that you have to go back there on patrol must stress you out.

No. I'm fine.

You can tell us.

You seemed worried during the meeting.

Okay. That's all for the morning meeting of September first.

Get back to work.

- Go, Chamsu-Ri. - Go, Chamsu-Ri.

Mr. Cha, is something going on with Officer Moo?

Pardon me?

I don't think she would be so depressed for days...

just because she saw a crime scene.

She would rather pretend to be okay.

I'll go talk to her.

Goong Hwa.

I'm sorry I didn't call you back.

I should be apologizing.

I shouldn't have brought you to my family yesterday.

Don't worry too much about what my grandma said.

How can I not worry?

I made it clear to Grandma...

that I won't change my mind.

Let's talk about it later.

It was unexpected.

I didn't know you would ask me to see you alone.

I just wanted to make your acquaintance.

I heard you started a hotel business.

That's right. It's time for me to run a decent business.

I thought you would inherit Chairman Jin's business.

It's not that I didn't like it,

but I found this business new and fun.

It's not so bad to go legitimate.

Loan sharks do that all the time.

You don't hold back.

I don't know how to beat around the bush.

How long have you known my father?

I've known him for a long time. It's been about 8 or 9 years.

- Here you go. - Chairman Jin seems to have...

an unusually deep affection for you.

He does love me very much.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to working with you.

Working with me? I'm just doing my job as a public servant.

When I met you last time,

you seemed to know Inspector Cha Tae Jin well.

Yes, I know him well. I used to be his immediate superior.

What is he like?

He's smart and self-assertive.

As a police officer, he's good.

He just doesn't know how to blend in.

I can see that you don't like him very much.

By the way, how do you know Inspector Cha?

I happened to know him, but we're not on good terms.

Chairman Jin asked me about him too.

He did?

Please say something.

You're so quiet, and that scares me.

It's all my fault.

I should've prevented it.

I couldn't even imagine that my grandma would say that.

She's generally nice.

She must've had no choice but to say that.

- Goong Hwa. - I've been married,

and I have a kid. I can understand why she can't approve of me.

It's not like I didn't know that.

But I was still upset.

It broke my heart.

I stayed up all night and thought hard...

about what would be the right decision for me to make.

Let's...

end it here.

(Lovers in Bloom)

She wants to be transferred to a different substation or division.

- Pardon me? - I'll move on.

Do you really mean it?

Don't cry again.

There's something I'd like to discuss with you. It's about Bo Ra.

Give it a shot. Try whatever you can.

I'm their mother.

Let's talk over some tea.

Did you drink?

I've never seen Tae Jin like that.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Thanks so much for everything.

You made me happy.
