I can't divorce you.

What?

I cannot divorce you.

Why you...

You said you'd divorce me once the merger went through.

I've changed my mind.

What?

I can't because of Ji Min.

What are you talking about? What about Ji Min?

I raised him...

as my son.

I can't give you full parental rights...

over my son.

Kwang Il.

What's the point in becoming a king?

I have no successor to leave my kingdom to.

I'll raise him to succeed me.

You said you married me...

to put Ji Min back where he belonged.

He's where he belonged, as you wanted.

Why do you want to make him grow up being fatherless?

Don't do this.

Break up with me, meet someone nice, and have your own child.

My own child?

Is Ji Min not my child?

Just because I was switched with Tae Yang, is Mother not my mother?

I never thought that even once.

Jang Jung Hee and Jang Wol Chun.

Just as they are my mother and grandfather,

Ji Min is my son.

My one and only son.

As Grandfather wanted, I've become the king.

So how could you ask for the king's one and only successor?

That ridiculous.

Don't be like this.

Ji Min is smart,

so he'll lead Yangji well.

I'll safeguard the king's throne as well as I can until then.

I was wrong.

So please,

let Ji Min and me go.

If you want it that badly,

I will divorce you.

But I will raise Ji Min.

I was the idiot for making a deal with you.

Fine. I won't beg you anymore.

What is it?

Kwang Il refuses...

to keep his promise.

- What? - He won't divorce me.

He says he'll raise Ji Min to succeed him.

You said you'd take care of our divorce, right?

Then take care of it.

If you can't do it,

you'll leave me no choice.

I'll tell Mother everything.

Darn it. That punk.

What do you think you're doing?

Is what Shi Wol said true?

Is it true you want to raise Ji Min to succeed you?

He said he'd be here.

What's going on?

Why would you raise Ji Min to succeed you?

He isn't even your son. Why do you want to raise him?

What is he saying?

You'll leave Yangji Group to Ji Min, who isn't even your blood?

Do you think I made you king to watch you do that?

Over my dead body. Not Ji Min.

Ji Min isn't my grandson!

What do you mean?

What do you mean, Ji Min isn't your grandson?

What do you mean, Ji Min isn't Kwang Il's son?

What do you mean?

Mother, that's not it.

Tell me what you mean!

That can't be.

As soon as Ji Min was born,

Father had a paternity test done on him.

Shi Wol deceived us all.

She manipulated the test result.

I ran another paternity test for Kwang Il and Ji Min.

He isn't his son.

Kwang Il found out about Ji Min, and that's why...

he caused that car accident.

I couldn't get myself to tell you, knowing how shocking...

it would be for you.

You liked Shi Wol so much.

How could I tell you?

Regardless, I want to get them divorced...

and Ji Min removed from the family registry,

but...

he wants to raise Ji Min to succeed him.

That's absurd.

What do you want to do about Ji Min?

I know it's heartbreaking when we think about him,

but think of the future.

It's better to end it now.

Who is Ji Min's father?

Father?

It's Oh Tae Yang, isn't it?

Don't tell Father.

You know his temper.

If he finds out Ji Min isn't his blood,

he'll faint.

Okay?

Hello.

Whose son...

is Ji Min?

Whose son is Ji Min?

Is he Mr. Oh's son?

How...

How could you do this to us?

Mother.

How could you do this to my son?

Divorce Kwang Il.

Take Ji Min...

and get out of our house!

Hello?

I saw Mother.

What did you say?

I couldn't say anything.

How did she find out?

She overheard Kwang Il and me talking.

It's a good thing for you.

Ji Min was the biggest issue.

Now that she knows he isn't Kwang Il's son,

she won't insist on keeping him anymore.

She and I will do whatever it takes...

to give you what you want,

so don't say anything stupid.

Otherwise, you...

and your mother-in-law will never see Ji Min again.

Remember that.

What did Kwang Il say?

Will he keep his promise?

Will he divorce you?

Will he give you full parental rights over Ji Min?

- No. - What?

He won't give me Ji Min.

I thought he agreed to give you what you wanted...

once the merger went through. So why?

So? What will you do now?

But first,

I need to tell you something.

Mother...

found out that Ji Min is your son.

I thought you should know.

What does she say?

She says to take Ji Min and leave the Yangji family.

I'm fine,

but it breaks my heart when I think about you and Mother.

I've done an unforgivable thing to her.

But if I were to deceive her even when I leave,

I don't think she can ever forgive me.

So?

I think I should tell her the truth,

that you're her real son.

- So Yoo Wol... - Don't do it.

Don't tell her about me.

Why not?

You said...

even she may never see Ji Min again if you do.

Once you get Ji Min back...

and get divorced,

I'll tell her myself.

Kwang Il will never divorce you,

and he won't give you Ji Min.

If the fact that I'm her real son is revealed on top of that,

he will not give Ji Min to you.

So you can't tell her that I'm her real son...

until you get full parental rights over Ji Min.

Until I get Ji Min back?

That's right.

I sent someone I trust in the US...

to Fairfax where Ji Min is.

That person will secretly watch him to make sure...

he's okay.

So don't worry too much,

and leave this to me.

Okay?

As soon as you get parental rights from Kwang Il,

we can bring Ji Min home.

I'll bear all your burdens...

from now on.

So give all the burdens weighing you down...

to me now.

Does Shi Wol...

have a breakfast meeting again?

Yes.

She's the only one who's busy.

Anyway,

why is everyone so quiet today?

It's too suffocating to eat.

- Ji Wook. - Yes?

Why is a boy always carrying a teddy bear with him?

What will you grow up to be?

Ji Wook, what will you become when you grow up?

Ji Wook.

Great-grandpa asked what you'll become when you grow up.

I'm going to be the king of the bear kingdom.

King of a bear kingdom?

What will you do as king of a bear kingdom?

I'll find the poor baby bear his real daddy.

Real daddy?

Then is baby bear's daddy not his real daddy?

No.

Who says that? Did Ms. Yang say that?

Yes.

She said that's why the baby bear has to be cute.

Because Papa Bear that he lives with isn't his real daddy.

If he isn't a cute baby bear,

Papa Bear will dump Baby Bear.

Why does she tell him such twisted children's stories?

So that's why you always carry the teddy bear around.

Because you felt bad for Baby Bear.

Yes.

Don't worry.

Daddy's your real daddy,

so no matter how much trouble you cause,

Daddy will never dump you.

Do you mean it?

Of course. Even if you poop in your pants,

I love you more than anyone.

I'm going to excuse myself.

My gosh.

You want us to forget you said anything?

That's right.

That's not right.

You promised to give me Yangji Pharmaceuticals.

I thought it over,

and Pharma is too integrally tied to Logis, so I can't give it to you.

In exchange, how about International?

It's small, but it's a stable trading company.

No.

I want Yangji Pharmaceuticals.

That's why I researched the bio-industry so much.

I'll do well. I'm confident I can.

So please, give me just one chance. Please, Grandfather?

I know what Daesong did,

but you can't do this to Min Jae.

You leave everything to Kwang Il,

but you won't give Min Jae even that.

You're so mean.

There's a reason why I can't,

so don't be too hurt.

- Min Jae. - Yes?

Let's settle on International.

Okay?

Do you mean it?

Do you really want to raise Ji Min to succeed you?

Are you doing that to hold onto Shi Wol?

Mother.

If one day,

you find out somehow that like Ji Min,

I'm not your real son,

what would you do?

What do you mean?

Please answer me.

Will you...

dump me as Ji Wook said?

Will you dump me?

Seeing as you can't answer me,

I guess you will dump me.

Why are you acting like a child? Think of your age.

You want to raise Oh Tae Yang's son of all people...

to succeed you? Why would you do that?

When I think about Ji Min,

I feel like my heart is being torn to shreds.

I...

loved...

Let Ji Min...

live with his mom...

and divorce her.

I'll persuade your grandfather somehow,

so let's do that.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I can't give up on Ji Min.

I may not have given birth to him,

but I will raise him as my own.

What did he say?

Will he listen to you?

No.

He says although he didn't give birth to him,

he'll raise Ji Min...

as his own.

Does Mr. Oh know?

No, I don't think so.

I'm sure Shi Wol told him.

If he did, he wouldn't be this quiet.

He even lost his daughter.

If he finds out Ji Min is his child,

I'm sure he'll do anything to get him.

What?

Nothing.

Anyway,

you'll have to work on getting Kwang Il divorced.

He always listened only to you.

That was in the past. He seems to open up...

with you more than with me lately.

But blood is a stronger bond.

I'm sure you understand him better than I do.

So do whatever it takes...

to persuade him, okay?

Okay.

- But... - Yes?

Do you and Mr. Oh's mother-in-law...

What?

Never mind. Let's talk about it later.

You don't look well.

Is something wrong?

No.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have said anything about Chairman Choi.

No, it's not.

Do you want me to look into it some more?

Into what?

Chairman Choi and Mr. Oh's mother-in-law's relationship.

It's okay. I'm sure it's nothing.

From what I saw,

it looked like there was something.

I won't if you don't want me to.

I'll pretend nothing happened.

What do you mean,

it looked like there was something?

They looked like they were having a very serious discussion.

A serious discussion?

Yes.

Then was it about Ji Min?

About Ji Min?

Nothing. I was thinking out loud.

Don't mind it.

That's right. They must have met about Ji Min.

Hello...

Hello.

I should've introduced myself sooner.

I'm Ji Min's grandmother. I live next door to you.

Yes... Hello.

You know Ji Min, don't you?

I understand he went over to your house a few times.

Yes, I know him.

But what brings you here?

I came to ask you something.

Do you have time to talk for a few minutes?

Go ahead.

What do you want to say?

You met my husband...

a few days ago, correct?

Me? Meet Chairman Choi?

Yes.

I was passing by and happened to see...

the two of you together.

What did you meet my husband to discuss?

You two looked very serious.

May I ask what it was...

you were discussing?

Well...

If you want to know, ask Chairman Choi.

I have nothing to say.

Was it...

about Ji Min?

I guess...

it really was about Ji Min.

It's so hot.

If it's about Ji Min, please stop.

So you knew.

Does Mr. Oh know as well...

that Ji Min is his son?

What?

No, he doesn't.

Tae Yang...

doesn't know anything yet.

I see.

Please don't say anything to him.

You can't tell him about Ji Min.

I guess...

it must have been shocking for you as well.

I apologize for being selfish.

What will you do about Ji Min?

We'll have him live with his mom.

Then will Mr. Choi and his wife...

get a divorce?

Yes. I'm going to make them get a divorce.

But...

did you and my husband...

know each other in the past?

Ji Min is Tae Yang's real son?

What's that all about?

And Mi Ran...

knows Choi Tae Joon?

What's that all about?

I didn't know him.

You didn't know him?

No.

How could I possibly have known Chairman Choi?

He came...

to see me that one time to ask...

if Tae Yang knew that Ji Min was his son, that's all.

Is that right?

What?

So? What did she say?

She asked if Tae Yang knew that Ji Min was his son.

And...

she asked me how I knew you.

What did you say?

I said I didn't know you,

just so you know.

You startled me.

Why are you so jumpy?

Did you do something wrong?

What are you doing here?

So, Ji Min is Tae Yang's son?

What's that all about?

You said so just now...

that Ji Min is Tae Yang's son.

I totally misjudged you.

You're frightening.

How could you tell her not to tell Tae Yang?

That's inhumane.

How did you...

I heard everything you said with Chairman Choi's wife just now.

So? Will you tell Tae Yang?

Of course.

What about Duk Shil?

What about my poor Duk Shil?

When I think about her,

I do feel sorry for her,

but still, you can't ignore family.

- Mr. Hwang. - Regardless,

I need to tell Tae Yang.

And that's that.

Why did Jung Hee suddenly go to see...

Mi Ran?

That woman...

is definitely hiding something from me.

What should we have for dinner?

Make something Father wants.

I'm fine with anything.

- I'll do that. - Hold on.

Please...

find out more about Chairman Choi and Mr. Oh's mother-in-law.

Yes, ma'am. I will.

- Hello. - Hi.

Come sit with me.

Just earlier,

I stopped by your mother-in-law's restaurant,

and heard something strange.

- Something strange? - That's right.

What was it?

Chairman Choi Tae Joon's wife and your mother-in-law...

were talking about Ji Min.

Chairman Choi's wife...

were talking to Mother about Ji Min?

That's right.

What did they say?

Don't be too shocked.

You...

Your real son...

is Ji Min.

What? Aren't you shocked?

It's shocking.

Then... Did...

Did you know already?

Duk Shil knows as well...

that Ji Min is my son.

Duk Shil.

Hi.

Why are you so spaced out?

It's nothing.

You poor thing.

What is it?

What? It's nothing.

Anyway,

Duk Shil...

So...

Your mom...

About your mom having a boyfriend...

Is that true?

Your mom got worked up and said it isn't true.

She does have a boyfriend.

She's just too embarrassed to admit it to you.

I see. Then...

do you know who it is?

No.

I don't know that much.

I see.

Then is it...

Chairman Choi Tae Joon?

I'm going to my room.

Okay. Rest up.

Then...

how does Mi Ran know Chairman Choi Tae Joon?

What are you doing in front of our house?

I was just looking at the house.

What was that?

I like this house for some reason.

If you decide to sell it later on, sell it to me.

I'll pay you generously.

That will never happen,

so dream on.

No one knows what will happen in the future.

Anyway, I've let you know how I felt.

Didn't Shi Wol say something?

I'm sure she did.

Do you mean about Ji Min?

That's right.

That's why I came here. To discuss that.

I hear...

Ji Min is my son.
