(Koo Hae Joon and Cho Yoon Kyung are not biologically related)

Hae Joon? It's Mom.

Mom.

(Episode 34)

- Mom. - What were you doing?

You weren't answering your phone either.

You should've called first.

What's so good about this place that you want to stay here?

Gosh.

I heard you told Dad you'd come home.

What's wrong with your eyes?

Were you crying?

No. I passed out last night after drinking.

They must be bloodshot from that.

Why do you drink so much?

This darned wedding is going to kill you.

Let's go home today.

I'll go tomorrow.

If you're going to go tomorrow, go with me now.

I have plans.

Are you seeing Jennis?

No.

I feel bad too.

If she had stayed abroad,

she'd be doing well as a successful marketer.

She had such terrible things happen to her in Korea.

I'm sorry...

I couldn't let you like the woman you like...

as much as you want.

I'm the one who's sorry.

Make sure to come home tomorrow, okay?

What took you so long?

What? What did?

You went to the real estate agency.

They wouldn't let me go,

asking if I'm married, what I do for a living,

how's this neighborhood...

It was never-ending.

Are you hiding something from me?

No. Why?

Never mind.

Eat more.

I can't.

Eat a little more.

Yoo Jin.

Yoo Jin.

Yoo Jin. Let me in.

Are you okay?

Why are you so pale?

I can't breathe.

Did you get indigestion? But you hardly ate.

Let's go to the hospital.

Just get me some medicine.

I'm home.

Where's Hae Joon.

He's coming tomorrow.

You went all the way there just to come home alone?

- What about lunch? - He has plans.

He sent his mom home without feeding her?

That ingrate.

What do you mean, ingrate?

Does Hae Joon owe you for something?

How could a father...

It's because you didn't eat.

That's how you truly feel.

You still don't think of Hae Joon as your son, do you?

How could you say that? I'm hurt.

You shouldn't be so thoughtless with your words.

I'm the one who's hurt.

What do you have to be hurt about?

I raised him for 30 years. That makes him my son.

It's so upsetting every time you say that.

It's not like I can take out my heart and show it to you.

You say I hate Hae Joon, but how many times must I tell you,

I'm just teaching him to be tough since he has to succeed me?

He's the mess he is today because Mother babied him too much.

What do you mean, he's a mess?

Yes.

I understood and believed that was your intent.

Since Mom and I couldn't do it, we left it to you...

to make him strong and train him as his dad.

That's exactly it.

But I don't think that's it.

You use successor training as a cover-up.

I didn't see what was hiding behind that facade.

What do you mean?

Don't use that method anymore.

Speaking meanly to him,

yelling at him, and talking down to him.

Don't do it.

Watch that mouth of yours.

What?

Watch my mouth?

Why you...

You'll kill someone...

with your words one day just like Eun Ha.

My mouth is my own, and I have things I want to say.

Is Hae Joon the king of this house or something?

Fine.

This is how you truly feel.

You still see me as the employee from 30 years ago.

That's why only your son is precious,

and you treat me like a servant.

"Your son"?

This is so annoying.

This is the marriage you wanted.

He's the son you got because you wanted it.

If by chance...

Hae Joon ever finds out you are not his biological father,

I will not live with you.

You won't live with me?

Are you saying you'll divorce me?

I've held it in...

and was patient all these years.

That ingrate.

Grandma.

It's me.

It's Hae Joon.

Do you know what this is?

Why did you do it?

How could you do such a thing?

(Cho Soon Ja)

What am I supposed to do now?

I don't know.

Tell me.

Please tell me, Grandma.

Hae Joon.

You'll catch a cold.

Let's go inside. Come on.

Grandma, carry me.

Okay, sure. My baby.

Ouch.

- Does your back hurt? - Goodness.

Grandma, are you hurt?

You're a big kid. Why are you asking Grandma...

to carry you when she has a bad back?

Why are you raising your voice? You'll scare him.

A pain patch will take care of it.

Hae Joon, Grandma's fine.

Grandma's fine as long as you're okay.

I'm not hurt.

Grandma, let me help you up.

Okay. Let's get up.

Hae Joon.

You're the owner of J Cosmetics, okay?

Don't you ever be discouraged, okay?

Yes, Grandma.

Hae Joon.

You have to...

protect your mom...

in Grandma's place, okay?

No, Grandma.

Don't go.

Stay with us...

and live for a long time with us.

J Group's heir...

should not...

cry so much, now should he?

I'm not crying.

So...

you need to be strong too.

Please...

take care of your mom.

Sorry...

for dumping...

all that weight on your shoulders.

I'm really sorry.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma!

Grandma!

If you had loved me less,

would it be less hard for me now?

I received so much love from you.

So much that I could never repay you.

Should I go on living like nothing has changed?

You chose me for Mom.

I should make my choice for Mom as well, right?

Because my life was for Mom and J Group...

from the start.

Dreaming of a modest happiness with the woman I love...

would be too selfish of me,

right Grandma?

Will you be okay today?

Let's tell Mother and push it off.

Don't worry.

I'm going to rest a little.

Hello? Just a minute.

Yes, go on.

Grave?

Did he go alone?

He's crying?

Okay.

Keep following Koo Hae Joon.

Mother.

Hae Joon went to Chairman Cho's grave.

The first place he went to after seeing the test results...

was his grandmother's grave?

Yes. And he bawled.

If he bawled at his grandmother's grave,

our prediction is correct.

He is Cho Yoon Kyung's real son.

He isn't Koo Jae Myung's son.

Yes.

And Seo Eun Ha threatened him with that. She's frightening.

Yoo Jin must not find out.

How is she?

Is she okay?

Yes.

It's no easy feat to sponsor a place for 10 years.

Is there a special reason?

If I had to point to something,

my late father...

always encouraged a philosophy of noblesse oblige.

I wish to always give back...

as my father always wanted.

That is why my husband, Assemblyman Hong In Chul,

is in politics.

Is there a reason...

you chose this nursing home out of all nursing homes?

Other than because Dr. Park is your friend.

Of course, Dr. Park was a major factor.

But it wasn't because it was my friend's hospital,

but because I was confident that this place gave residents...

and their families a sense of credibility and trust.

As you can see,

don't the residents look happy?

Okay. Shall we switch over to talk about LaLa Skin Care?

Pretty.

Mi Hyang.

Did you just speak?

It's me, Mi Yun.

Mi Hyang.

It's me, Mi Yun.

Ms. Sul doesn't like strangers.

Seeing how calm she is, she must feel comfortable with you.

Do you think she recognizes me?

I can't tell,

but she won't let anyone else even touch her.

Ma'am.

The interview is over.

Okay.

Aren't you going to see Ms. Sul?

Why? You're taking good care of her.

She hasn't had any episodes since, right?

Give me a present.

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

Dr. Seo.

Carry.

What are you doing here?

I had some business to tend to.

What are you doing here?

Well... My assistant Ms. Oh's aunt is here.

She has dementia.

I see.

Do you know each other?

Yes, she's a friend.

And investor.

How do you two...

We're college alums.

I see. You are?

Give me a present.

What's wrong with you?

I'm so sorry.

I had a bad experience with a dementia patient.

It's okay.

I get caught off-guard at times too.

You personally tend to your assistant's aunt.

You must be very close.

She is like family to me.

We were like family when we were in Canada too.

That's so nice to see.

But...

how did you hear about this nursing home?

I looked around,

and this place seemed the most trustworthy in many ways.

What were you here for?

Do you know someone here?

No.

I just came to see Dr. Park.

I'll tell Dr. Park...

to take extra care of Ms. Oh's aunt.

Thank you.

Why did it have to be this nursing home of all places?

Why won't she tell me that Mi Hyang is here?

Seo Eun Ha.

What are you hiding?

Would you rather save your mom, Se Ra,

and yourself,

or would you rather kill your mom and Se Ra...

and choose Jennis instead?

Hello?

Are you home?

What are you doing?

I'm getting ready to see you.

Is there anything...

you want to do today?

I want to eat delicious food with you...

and have a drink.

Think about what you want to eat.

And...

think about what you want to do.

Anything you wanted to do in Seoul...

or anywhere you wanted to go.

Today,

I want to eat and drink with you...

and talk.

Okay. See you later.

She's her assistant's aunt. Carry wouldn't go that often.

She says she's like her mom.

They lived together in Canada.

They must have come to Seoul together too.

Make sure she doesn't meet Ms. Sul. She has no reason to anyway.

Don't worry about it.

She wouldn't somehow meet Yoon Kyung, right?

Of course not.

Have you heard from Hae Joon?

Speak of the devil.

He must have gotten the test results.

Hello?

I'm home.

Now?

Come to the clinic.

Do you believe me now?

So? What's your decision?

Just tell me whether or not you'll marry Se Ra.

I'll end things with Jennis first.

When?

I'll see her today for the last time.

It'll be the last time for her too.

It'll be the last for you too. What perfect timing.

Can I trust you?

The moment you try something funny,

your mom will die.

But...

make sure no one else finds out about this.

Take it with you to your grave.

Naturally.

I don't want to see your mom hurt either.

You made your decision sooner than expected.

But then again,

not everyone gets to be J Group's heir.

And you need to repay your parents...

for raising you.

What was my biological mother...

like?

She was a young single mom.

She died in childbirth.

I believe she had no family or friends.

She had no family...

or friends?

Forget about your biological parents.

Jae Myung and Yoon Kyung are and will be your biological parents.

I'll make it that way.

What about the funeral?

I'm sure Borough Hall...

claimed the body.

I don't know the details.

Han Yoo Jin.

You're not seeing Hae Joon as Jennis today.

You're seeing...

your enemy's son, as Mom and Dad's daughter.

Dear Father.

All the sins my daughter commits...

are mine.

Please punish me instead.

Please have pity on my daughter...

and forgive her.

I will take...

all the punishments.

Hae Joon.

Sorry, I'm late.

You look very pretty.

It breaks my heart.

Why does it break your heart?

Are you drunk already?

A little.

Did you have dinner?

I did.

Pour me a drink.

They should be together by now.

Jennis is leaving tomorrow,

but Hae Joon is breaking up with her too.

What great timing.

Every so often, life is very fun.

How's Hae Joon?

It must have been traumatic.

He was calmer than expected.

I bet the fear of losing his throne as the heir of J Group...

is much greater than the shock about his birth.

When he was J Group's heir, he didn't appreciate it.

The moment he realized he's a nobody,

that title must have seemed so big and impressive.

I'm sure that's not all.

It's 90 percent at least.

Hae Joon can't do anything reckless anymore.

That's human nature.

Would I have loved you even if you were a poor orphan?

Yes.

Even if I weren't J Group's son,

but a poor orphan who had no parents,

would you have loved me?

If you were a poor orphan, I could love you as much as I want.

If you weren't J Group's son.

Why are you asking that?

Right?

You've been acting very strange since two days ago.

Won't you tell me...

what happened?

After we finish this.

I guess you can only talk about it if you're drunk.

That's scary.

I am...

a jerk.

I came...

to see you for the last time.

Last time?

Since it isn't polite to break up over the phone.

Break up...

I can't keep my promise to protect you.

I can't keep my promise to always stay by your side.

I won't see you again.

What do you mean?

What's wrong?

What happened?

I've always been a coward.

I've always been selfish, irresponsible, and did as I pleased.

That's how worthless I am.

You misjudged me.

You're a fool, Jennis.

Is it because of your parents?

Or Se Ra?

No. It's neither my parents nor Se Ra.

This is purely my choice.

It's what I decided after contemplating...

which to give up, being J Group's heir or you.

I'm no better than other people.

As you say, I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

I don't have the courage to throw it away.

So, you should forget me too.

Curse me for being a jerk...

and forget me and leave.

I'll live as J Group's son.

Get it together, Yoo Jin.

Hae Joon is saying he won't break off the engagement.

He's saying he'll marry Se Ra.

Since we're breaking up anyway, I'll do whatever you want.

I...

understand.

You... Understand?

Any guy would've done the same...

in your situation.

You're not particularly bad or cowardly.

I know how difficult it must have been...

to make that decision.

To be honest, it doesn't feel that great,

but what can we do? This is where it ends for us.

Is this why...

you've been having such a hard time lately?

Just curse at me.

Resent me and get angry for being a jerk.

Why do you understand me?

Don't understand me.

I don't deserve to be understood.

I've never...

regretted...

loving you.

And I will...

never regret it.

Hae Joon.

You really are Koo Jae Myung's son.

I had no idea.

I was such an idiot.

This is for the best.

Thank you for taking away...

all sense of guilt.

You should go.

After I finish my drink.

So this was a farewell drink.

Cheers.

Will you marry Se Ra?

Will you...

stay with me tonight?

I want to stay with you.

(Gracious Revenge)

There's an article about Hae Joon?

That's ridiculous.

You are such a fool.

You disrespect your dad and leave home.

Then, you come back after being stabbed in the back by a woman?

Either she can't forgive herself for doing that to Hae Joon,

or she can't get over him.

We have to find Jennis and put her on that plane.

Is your family working together to hide her?

Where's Jennis?

Let me talk to her.

Let me talk to her.
