(Previously) Taejun began working at Baekdo Group

and proposed to Nayeon.

Let's get married this year.

Sejin was tagged as a divorced adulteress.

This is for throwing out my trash.

Stop being cheeky, and get lost.

She ran into Taejun

and became interested in him.

Meanwhile, Taejun accepted

Gyeongwan's offer of going abroad to study

and set up a date with Nayeon.

Come meet me tonight. It's a date.

But while Nayeon was excited about their date,

Taejun got another secret offer

from Gyeongwan.

Tell me what it is.

(Episode 9)

Good night, sir.

I told you to call my driver.

You didn't have to do this.

It's fine.

Take my car. It's late.

No, thank you. I prefer to take the subway.

Okay. Thank you.

Good night.

I just bought a few clothes.

I went shopping all day, and now I feel better.

Don't worry. I bought you something, too, mom.

I'm here. I'm coming in right now.

Hey!

What are you doing? Let go of me!

What am I doing?

You made a fool out of our Jaehak

and ran off to go shopping?

What's all this?

Jang Sejin!

How dare you ruin my family name

and destroy my little brother's life?

You always acted so sophisticated.

This is a shocking change.

Everyone in your family is incredibly interesting.

What? How dare you?

I was the one who was destroyed!

That scumbag Eun Jaehak

made people think I'm a piece of trash!

How dare you blame my son?

You've been a piece of trash all along!

Stop it, mom.

Why should we stoop to her level?

Getting mixed up with a disgusting woman like her

will only tarnish our reputation.

Let's go, mom.

Don't you dare let me see you again!

You're the ones who are disgusting!

What did I ever do? Why can't you leave me alone?

What did I ever do?

Huh? The $50 guy?

How embarrassing...

Did you see everything?

Well, I didn't mean to.

I was being attacked like that,

and you did nothing?

Things would've gotten a lot worse

if they thought I was your lover.

Still, how could you ignore a woman being attacked?

What a coward.

Go in, Jang Sejin. It's late.

Go home!

I'm not your father's scholarship student anymore!

Are you...

Don't turn around. It's the leeches.

- Leeches? / - Get in! Hurry!

Seriously...

Would you like some more water?

Man...

Seriously...

Nice.

Yes!

Taejun.

Don't worry about me, and take your time.

I ate a really delicious meal all by myself.

Call me when you're done.

Welcome.

One serving of spicy rice cakes,

two fish cakes, and some sausage, please.

You're going to eat all of that?

I missed dinner.

- Here you go. / - Thank you.

Yum.

Miss, are you okay?

I don't think it's indigestion.

It might be something else.

Why don't you take a test, just in case?

(Pregnancy Test)

It's not that. It's just indigestion.

Then...

Take these,

but if the symptoms continue,

try taking a test.

I still can't believe it.

You're that stuck up Kang Taejun...

You were dirt poor, but so stuck up.

You were a weirdo.

I was dirt poor, so if I was humble, too,

I would've been miserable.

That was how I survived.

Right. It's your charm.

You've changed a lot.

You're so handsome that I didn't recognize you.

It's been 15 years. Of course I changed.

Why didn't you say anything?

I'm not sure.

I didn't really want to say anything.

Why not? Because you pitied me?

I didn't know that

I'd run into you again after what happened to me.

That day when I went to see you at your house...

I almost died.

What? A loan?

How can you even say that?

How dare you come and ask for money

after you dumped your child on me and ran?

I didn't ask you to give it to me!

My big brother is asking for it!

Big brother, yeah right!

Your big brother who doesn't earn a cent

and sleeps all day in his room?

Who do you think puts food on his table?

It was my mom

who gave you the money for this place!

I have rights!

Rights? As if!

Who do you think paid off all the loans

you and your brother took out?

This is garbage!

Did you just push me?

Stop it!

What do you think you're doing?

Whose fault is this?

Whose fault?

You're turning into a dog again!

Did you just hit me?

You can't earn a single cent,

so how dare you hit me?

Are you crazy? Let go!

- Are you crazy? / - Do something!

Get your aunt off your uncle!

She'll bite his hand off! Hurry!

Do something!

Let go!

Hey! Let go!

Taejun, where are you going?

Hey!

What are you doing here?

How did you know where I live?

I asked my dad

where you lived.

Why would you?

I have no reason to see you! None at all!

I waited for you!

I thought we became friends that night.

We didn't?

Was I the only one who thought that?

You just saw

why I can't be friends with you.

Go.

This is no place for a girl like you.

But you promised

to help me study.

Go home!

I'm not your father's scholarship student anymore!

I don't care.

But I do.

Your father's company broke their promise first.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell my dad

to pay for your tutoring.

I promise.

This is all I have right now.

I'll tell my dad to give you more.

So you and your father

both think I'm a beggar?

Taejun! Kang Taejun!

I waited for you in the rain for two hours,

but you never came out.

- Sejin? / - Sejin!

Why did you do it?

Why?

This is all your fault.

Sejin!

Sejin? Sejin!

Ma'am, call an ambulance!

That night,

I ended up in the emergency room.

I was sick with acute pneumonia for a week.

All I wanted was to be friends with you.

It's late. Let's go.

Can we pick up where we left off?

Let's be friends.

You're spoiled, and it can be cute.

But I have a feeling that

my girlfriend will hate our being friends.

Oh, your girlfriend?

True, my charms

would make anyone nervous.

I'll call a driver for you.

Don't. I want to stay a little longer.

You can go.

It was nice seeing you again.

(Resume, Kang Taejun)

No, it can't be.

I was really, really careful.

My period is late, that's all.

I'm sure of it.

Nayeon, you're not done yet?

I'll be right out!

Hurry up. Taejun is on the phone.

Okay. I'm coming!

- Taejun. / - Nayeon, yes?

You go first.

No, you go first.

- What's this? / - My salary account.

I want you to manage it from now on.

My monthly paychecks are deposited there,

and it's all yours.

To be honest,

I wanted to give it to you when I got the job,

but things didn't work out that way.

Something is off.

How?

It just feels that way.

Is something wrong?

My proposal won first place

at the talent fostering project.

They're sending me to America

to get an MBA degree.

Really?

You're going abroad to study?

Really?

Your company is paying you to study abroad?

Yes.

It won't cost a dime. It's free.

I can't believe it!

Wow! I can't believe it.

That's great news. Congratulations.

I knew you'd make it.

I picked a really smart guy.

Nayeon...

The promise I made about getting married this year.

I won't be able to keep it. Is it still okay?

How can you even ask that?

What's so important about that?

We can get married after you come back.

It'll take about three years.

If you tell me not to go, I won't.

Are you crazy?

Don't even joke about that.

Why would you turn down such a great chance?

From now on, you must study hard,

become successful, and make a lot of money.

That way, I can get my money's worth,

enjoy life, have fun,

keep you by my side,

and never dump you.

Okay. Thank you.

What for?

I should be the one thanking you.

So? When are you leaving?

Two weeks from now.

Two weeks from now?

That soon?

There are lots of things I need to get done there.

It just happened that way.

You must be busy.

You must have

so much to do.

What should you do first?

Didn't you have something to tell me?

What is it?

Nothing.

It's nothing. I can tell you later.

If it's nothing, you should tell me now.

If you don't get the chance, you might regret it.

No.

I'm not certain yet,

so I'll tell you when I'm certain.

I think that would be best.

Sure.

And can you come see me at lunchtime tomorrow?

Let's get our marriage certificate.

Boston?

- Dad? / - Yes?

- Did you drink? / - Yes.

What's this?

I told you.

Go to Boston and take some time for yourself.

I told you I don't want to run off.

It feels like I'm being chased away.

You want your grandfather to keep belittling you?

Mom, don't add to this.

How can you say that

after what he said to you?

Go and study.

No matter how long it takes, do it.

Prove to your grandfather you have what it takes.

Mom!

To be honest, I have no confidence.

I pretended I wasn't, but going through my divorce,

I was so scared and embarrassed.

I was scared of the world and other people.

I'm even more scared of starting something new.

Dad...

I don't think I can do anything right now.

I don't know what to say.

I should've stopped that marriage somehow.

There you go again.

If I couldn't stand him,

I wouldn't have married him.

To be honest, Eun Jaehak is good-looking.

And he's a pretty good catch.

It wasn't your fault, so don't make that face.

Okay, I won't.

So let's start over.

I'm never

going to make you cry again.

I promise.

Wow, I can't believe this.

My luck with men is pretty bad,

but I have the best dad in the world.

People who have no dad must be really sad.

Silly...

Who did you drink with?

Oh, dad,

do you know who I ran into tonight?

You'll be really surprised.

Remember the first Baekdo scholarship student

you picked a long time ago?

You even brought him here.

Kang Taejun.

He got a job at your company.

You met him?

What?

You've known about him?

I can see why you didn't recognize him.

He's become a whole new man.

What? You knew?

Why didn't you tell me?

What good would that have done?

I'm a divorced woman now.

Go to Boston.

Get a fresh start there.

Dad...

Don't worry about anything, and just go.

You won't regret it.

I'll make sure of that.

Just trust me.

It's late. You should go home.

You're not going to listen to me?

Lots of people these days

get marriage certificates before the wedding.

It's just doing it backwards.

I know.

But your company thinks you're single,

so what if they find out you're not?

What will they say?

They're sending you abroad to study,

and it would definitely cause rumors.

Let's have our wedding when you come back

and get our marriage certificate then.

How can you be so confident?

What if I run away?

You'd be okay with that?

You think I don't know you?

It's been 15 years.

You won't ever do that.

How could you be so sure?

For the past 15 years,

I've put so much in here.

Kang Taejun.

Half of who you are belongs to me.

And half of who I am belongs to you.

We've shared half of our lives together.

Sure.

Even if you ran away,

you couldn't go far.

You can be a bit cold,

but you're not such a bad guy.

Stop being so cocky, and go home.

It's late.

Don't be so hard on your mother.

You'll regret it later.

You think being the landlord gives you power?

How dare you tell me to move out?

You think you're above me?

What are you talking about?

Is asking you to turn your TV volume down

for the other tenants acting like I'm above you?

You told me to move out if I was going to be loud!

Wait, how can you be so rude?

The guy here is gentle and well-mannered.

Are you really his mom?

Are you trying to cause trouble

between me and my son?

All you have is this tiny little house,

so how dare you look down on me?

Tiny?

I'm glad you're home.

Is she really your mom?

She told us to move out.

It's either your mother

or both of you.

I can't live in the same building

with a woman so out of control!

I should apologize. I'm sorry.

Are you nuts? Why are you apologizing?

We did nothing wrong.

Be quiet, please.

Don't be upset, ma'am.

This won't happen again.

I shouldn't say this,

but looking at your mom,

I have a feeling your life won't be easy.

Oh, boy...

How dare she cluck her tongue at me?

I didn't do anything.

I was just watching TV, and she showed up,

asking all kinds of questions about me,

interrogating me, and telling me to move out!

Honest!

She tried to pick a fight with me!

Oh, I just couldn't believe it.

Oh, hey!

Oh, my! Are you nuts? What are you doing?

Go away.

Just disappear,

and don't ever come back.

Oh, my!

Taejun!

Taejun!

I'm sorry. I'll never do that again.

I won't fight with her!

No matter how annoying that woman gets,

I won't say anything!

I have nowhere to go, Taejun!

Kang Taejun!

You brat! People wouldn't do this to a stranger!

No matter what, I'm your mom!

Everyone told me to get rid of you,

but I carried you for nine months and gave you life!

Taejun!

Kang Taejun!

What happened to Sejin

is mostly my fault.

Sejin was never interested in marrying that guy.

Sejin's grandfather pushed for it.

I couldn't stop it.

Actually, it was more like I didn't.

My company got into distribution,

and things were bad.

We were desperate for Daehwa's help,

so I hoped that Sejin would understand

and just do it.

I made a business deal with my daughter's future.

What a great father...

I'm sending Sejin to America.

To Boston.

Can you stick with her?

I'm sorry,

but I have a fiancée.

Oh, no...

I didn't mean for you to marry her.

You're overreacting.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

You'll both be lonely in a foreign country,

so I just want you to be there for her

when she needs someone to talk to.

Is that too much to ask?

(Kang Taejun, Salary Account)

They say that children always win,

but I'll show them

that moms always win.

No use.

What do you mean?

No matter how many husbands you get,

none will work out.

What's the use of having tons of men in your future?

None of them are meant for you.

Your aura is so powerful

that no man can stand being with you.

You're like a stop for them along the way.

That's your fortune.

No way!

So I have to live alone for the rest of my life?

I see a child you abandoned.

You made a huge mistake.

He's your prince.

If you want to live in a palace when you're old,

you have to stick to him like a leech.

I'll be able to live in a palace when I'm old,

so I can handle this.

Don't you know? I'm Oh Manjeong.

Don't worry about me, and go to bed.

I don't even deserve this.

I'm vermin.

I deserve to freeze to death.

I'm breaking the lease.

I'll give you a week,

so look for a place to go.

Why are you breaking the lease?

Are you going somewhere?

It's none of your business.

Where are you going?

I'm going to America.

My company is sending me abroad to study.

Going abroad to study?

Oh, my! How amazing!

I guess life is full of surprises.

You're going to study in America?

Congratulations.

I'm giving the deposit back to Nayeon,

so find somewhere else to live.

Are you nuts? Why give your money

to that girl when you have me?

If you call her "that girl" again,

I won't stand for it.

Fine.

Did you two break up?

Are you giving that girl...

I mean, Nayeon, some kind of compensation?

Nayeon paid the deposit here.

I'm moving out,

so I have to give the money back.

But you two are going to get married.

Why don't we do this?

While you're in America,

I'll take care of this place.

I'll clean it, put up new wallpaper,

and repaint the whole place.

I'll get permission from Nayeon, okay?

Okay?

What are you doing?

Why aren't you in bed?

I forgot to wash the rice.

You haven't had dinner yet?

I had a stomachache earlier,

but when I tried to go to bed,

I started craving mixed rice with soy sauce.

Slow down. You'll get indigestion.

What's wrong?

Want me to pat your back?

No, I'm fine.

Hey...

Don't just take medicine. Go see a doctor.

He finally got his chance to become successful.

How could you of all people ruin it for him?

Taejun is the father.

I can't wait to find out

what you've prepared

for your dear daughter.

I promised that

I'd give you a fresh start.

Just tell me not to go.

I told you

that half of who you are belongs to me.

So just go.

I, Kang Taejun,

take Lee Nayeon as my wife,

and I vow to love her

and only her.
