(Episode 14) Isn't this...

Kang Taejun's phone?

Kang Taejun isn't here at the moment.

Oh, I see.

Is there anything else?

I'm sorry,

but who am I talking to?

Me?

Guess who?

Who is this? I don't know who you are.

Silly mom!

What?

How could you call your mom silly?

What are you doing?

She still has no idea?

Weren't you going to leave her to me?

Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.

I feel so weird.

Is this how an adulteress feels when

her boyfriend's wife catches her?

This doesn't feel so great.

Sejin...

Then again,

she stayed devoted to you

for the past five years,

so it must be difficult to cut her off.

Fine. I'll be understanding.

I'm sorry.

I can't blame you.

You kept pushing me away,

but I kept begging you to be with me.

I think we should both be alone.

I'm going home.

Wait!

Get in. I'll drive.

You don't like to drive.

No. It's inconvenient, so I don't like to.

So why?

Why did you get behind the wheel?

Because I don't think you should be driving.

So even though I hate it, I'm doing it.

I have to do it.

I always do what I have to do.

Even if I hate it,

if it's something I must do, I do it.

So don't worry about it.

Did you know?

When we were in Boston,

I didn't move in with you

because of a stalker.

I never had a stalker.

Out of the past five years,

you pushed me away for four years and three months.

We were coming back to Korea in a few months,

and there was a woman waiting for you here,

so I lost it.

I thought I'd lose you to her forever

if I didn't do anything,

so I made up my mind.

I came to you and said I had a stalker.

I know.

What?

That you never had a stalker.

I know it was all a lie.

Taejun...

I was so grateful for that lie.

So grateful.

Sejin, did you know?

I was attracted to you

for four years and three months.

That's why I pushed you away.

Maybe I was hoping

you would force me to give in.

Rather desperately.

It won't take long.

Just wait a bit more.

Just a bit more.

Taejun?

Kang Taejun!

Mr. Kang Taejun isn't here at the moment.

Is there anything else?

Your gift was amazing.

Thanks to you, my father ate

his first full meal since he was hospitalized.

- Is it good? / - It is.

Thank you.

It wasn't much,

but I'm glad he liked it.

We met through a weird coincidence,

but I'm very grateful for that.

Thank you.

(Taejun)

Taejun, where are you?

I'm in Korea.

What?

You got back already?

When? You should've told me.

I would've met you at the airport.

I was with someone.

With someone?

Let's meet tomorrow, and we'll talk.

You didn't go home?

I couldn't.

I'm staying at the company apartment.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I have so much to say.

Of course.

Okay.

Oh, Taejun, how about today...

No, we'll talk tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll see you there.

Good night.

Saebyeol, that's what your dad looks like?

How handsome!

Mom. Mom!

Mom, Taejun is back.

He came back today.

Really?

But why didn't he call?

There was someone with him.

He has to stay at the company apartment.

Mom, can I sing the Daddy Bear song?

Of course!

You have to sing it tomorrow.

I want to practice.

'Three bears living under one roof'

'Daddy Bear, Mommy Bear, Baby Bear'

Are you Ms. Lee Geumbong?

Uh, yes. Hello.

Right. Nice to meet you.

I'm Heo Segwang.

I'm not late, am I?

I got here five minutes early.

Would you like to order?

Shall we order some wine first?

Ah, are you okay with drinking?

A bit of an apéritif is fine.

Instead of the New World wines,

how about something from the Rhone?

They might be a bit dense, but they have depth.

We're on the same page.

I don't like things

that are shallow and insincere.

You live here? Wow.

I haven't seen a house bigger than mine in a while.

It's amazing.

It just looks grand on the outside.

The inside isn't so special.

That can't be.

Go in. It's cold.

Thank you for driving me home.

It was nice to meet you.

You should go. I want to see you off.

I can't do that.

Go in. I'll go afterwards.

It's okay. You can go.

Hurry up!

Good night.

Who is it?

It's me. Open the door.

What?

It's me!

I'm sorry.

I'm going to a classical concert tomorrow,

so I can't make time.

I lost to a classical concert!

I don't really like blind dates,

but I'm glad I went on one tonight.

Good night.

What now, what now?

I've hit the jackpot!

Did you eat? Want me to fix you something?

Nayeon, I finally found one.

What? What did you find?

His father is a director at BSS Group,

and he works there, too.

He's handsome, stylish, well-educated, and polite.

And his family is really rich.

His car is amazing, too.

- You went on a blind date? / - Yes.

You think he's a decent guy?

I wouldn't know. Not after just one date.

He needs to meet certain standards

for me to be interested in finding out about him.

I have great news, too.

What is it?

Taejun is back.

He got back today. We're meeting up tomorrow.

Really? Nayeon, congratulations!

Stop!

Father, please reconsider.

That's too harsh.

I thought about it over and over.

He needs to learn

what hard labor is like

so he can stop being lazy and grow a backbone.

I don't know if Hwigyeong will accept it,

but it'll be a big shock for mother, too.

It's his job to turn this into an opportunity.

Depending on how he does, starting at the bottom

will either help him grow or destroy him.

Let him be.

Why don't you just buy a new one?

This is a really cheap knockoff.

Nobody wears stuff like this anymore.

Even elementary school kids wouldn't wear this.

Can you fix it?

I can,

but it looks like something that was popular

among young people about 20 years ago.

Even if I fix it, it won't last long.

Can you please fix it for me?

Sure.

Hi, Gyeongwan.

Right now?

(Personnel Appointment Announcement)

(Park Hwigyeong - AP Foods Warehouse)

Chairman Park must be seriously ill.

How could he send his only son there?

His son must be out of the running to be heir.

Which department in Factory 1 is it?

This must be a shock for them, too.

It's top secret. Even the board members don't know.

This is really unbelievable.

Gyeongwan.

Hey!

Welcome, Hwigyeong.

Seeing you in your office,

you look really charismatic.

Really? I look like a real president?

You don't look like a president.

You look like a chairman.

What?

That would hurt the chairman's feelings.

Sit.

The food factory's returned merchandise warehouse?

I'm even more upset than you.

Failing to take advantage of your talent

is a loss for the company, too.

The chairman won't listen to anyone

when it comes to you.

He completely closes his ears.

You really don't know why he's doing this?

I do. I know all too well.

And that's why it's complicated.

Look. It's not too late.

Do what he says. Go on a blind date.

Your father's primary goal

is to find you a wife.

If that's what he wants, I have no choice.

I'll have to do what he wants.

Good for you.

Start with a blind date, and...

Do I start work tomorrow?

Must you do this?

Wow!

Where did this pretty fairy come from?

When your dad sees you,

he'll be so surprised.

Oh, we'll be late.

Let's go.

- Thank you. / - Thank you.

Oh, no.

When you're drinking water,

I told you to hold the cup with both hands.

This is a new coat, and it's all wet.

Mom, I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's just water, so it'll dry soon.

But now that it's wet, you might catch a cold.

That won't do. Why don't you take it off?

I'll dry it for you.

Okay? Your arm.

Mom, when's dad coming?

Dad? He'll be here soon.

When he gets here, let's ask him to order for us.

I want pork cutlet. What do you want?

Me?

I want omelet with rice.

Omelet with rice?

Why won't he answer his phone?

Mom.

Yes? What is it?

I want to go home.

I'm sorry.

Just a little longer. Let's wait a little longer.

Dad must be busy with something.

Let's just wait a little longer before we go.

Here's your onion chicken. Enjoy.

Excuse me.

Can we get more pickled onions and kimchi brine?

Sure. Coming right up.

Take that headpiece off!

Things are already crazy in here.

You're sending dust flying.

What's wrong?

Everyone said it's cute and asked for my autograph.

Did Nayeon meet Taejun or not?

I'm sorry. Something urgent came up.

You should go home for now. I'll call you.

Where are you? Why didn't you answer my calls?

Is this Ms. Jang Sejin?

Who is this?

I'm reporter Baek of Jungle News.

Congratulations.

Why do I have to hear congratulations from you?

You've come home after five years.

Isn't that worth celebrating?

Is this what all reporters are like?

It's late in the evening,

but you don't seem to care.

I'm sorry,

but I have nothing to say to you.

Are the rumors of your marriage true?

You came back to Korea with him, didn't you?

Is this marriage

another strategic union between

the owners of conglomerates?

I don't feel the need to respond.

I'm hanging up.

Is he single?

What?

Think what you want.

I'm sure you didn't call to get my answer.

So write what you want.

But you'll have to suffer the consequences.

What's wrong? Who was that?

I think some reporters are onto us.

There are rumors about my getting married.

What? This soon?

I know. I'm surprised, too.

How can a reporter be such a lowlife?

It's not the reporter who's a lowlife.

It's Kang Taejun.

Mom!

Didn't he leak this on purpose

so you couldn't back down?

This kind of craftiness is typical

of a penniless but ambitious man.

Don't insult Taejun in front of me.

He's not that kind of man.

And your daughter is the crafty one

who seduced a penniless man.

Are you

really going to marry him?

I understand your objections,

but that's enough.

I don't think you're the kind of scary person

who would try to do something

to the baby your daughter's carrying.

Sejin!

Without this baby, I couldn't have won Taejun over.

This baby saved my life.

And you expect me to break up with him?

No, I can't do that.

If you refuse to accept Taejun,

I'll go back to America with him.

That's the best I can do.

Jang Sejin...

Are you really my daughter?

Are you sure you're Jang Sejin, my daughter?

Please let me do what I want.

You want to see me happy, don't you?

You want to see me smile, right?

I'll treat you better.

I'll do anything you want.

Please just let me have Taejun.

Please...

Is he that precious to you?

More precious than me?

How could you do this to me? How?

I'm sorry, mom.

What?

I was hoping for the good luck one,

but I got the guest one?

What? She's back again?

She's no guest.

These cards aren't right.

Hey, how many times have I told you?

Stop showing up any old time you want.

Oh! Oh, Taejun!

Am I dreaming?

You're Kang Taejun, my son!

When did you come? Why didn't you call?

Where's that woman?

You didn't bring her?

Why not? I wanted to see her.

What's going on?

What?

I told you.

Nayeon was so excited

that I couldn't tell her you postponed your flight.

No, I'm not talking about that.

Who's Saebyeol?

The little girl who was with Nayeon.

Who was she?

You met Nayeon?

You really met her?

Tell me!

Who was that little girl?

Well, you were bound to find out,

so what's the use of hiding it?

You need to know, so you can come up with a plan.

Tell me!

What happened behind my back?

She's your daughter.

She's the daughter Nayeon had with you.

After you went to America, Nayeon had her.

I told her to get an abortion, but she refused.

Nayeon made a fuss, wanting to tell you,

and I stopped her.

Had she told you,

you would've quit school, come back to Korea,

and married Nayeon.

And if that had happened,

you would've lived in this little hole

with Nayeon, who smells like food,

and you'd still be living in poverty.

Thanks to me, you got a stroke of luck.

You...

You call yourself human?

How could you even say that?

Hey!

I wanted to be a real mother to you!

You think I did that for myself?

I was never there for you as your mom,

and I didn't want you

to lose the chance of a lifetime!

That was why I stopped Nayeon! So what?

You should've told me.

Had you told me, things wouldn't be such a mess!

Why are you blaming me?

What about you?

You call yourself human?

I was born this way. What about you?

After what Nayeon did for you...

Nayeon put you through college!

Nayeon made you who you are now!

So why did you do it?

If you had stayed faithful to her,

this wouldn't have happened.

Finding out about Saebyeol

after you came back

wouldn't matter, because you'd marry her.

You're the one who betrayed Nayeon!

Don't do anything stupid.

I'll take all the blame,

so pretend you don't know anything.

This is the chance of a lifetime,

so think about yourself. Nayeon comes afterwards.

Your life comes first,

and your happiness comes first. Got it?

This pain won't last long, and after that,

you'll be rich for the rest of your life.

Don't think about Nayeon.

Don't think about Saebyeol right now.

Just think about yourself.

Just yourself, okay?

Taejun, do as I say, okay?

Did you see Taejun?

Yes, I did.

Was he really surprised to see Saebyeol?

I'm sure he was so happy.

Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

- Good night. / - Okay.

Is something wrong?

Why do you look more upset than you did

when he left for America?

What is it?

It was just so brief

that I'm disappointed.

Why was it brief?

You waited for him for five years,

so why did he just show his face and leave?

His company called him.

He must be busy, trying to get used to his work.

Is he the only man with a job in Korea?

He needs to get his priorities straight.

What did he say about Saebyeol?

What did Taejun say after meeting his daughter?

Well...

Saebyeol fell asleep.

She must have been tired,

so she fell asleep before her dad came.

When I woke her up, she fussed.

So Taejun just

stared at Saebyeol's face and left.

I didn't give birth to you,

but you're my daughter.

No.

You're more special than a daughter.

So I can see it all.

I can see tears in your smiles.

I can see smiles in your tears.

So tell me if something's wrong.

Tell me everything.

Of course.

I'll tell you everything.

I'll tell you if anything is wrong.

I'll tell you everything.

So don't ever worry about me, okay?

There's nothing to worry about.

(Taejun)

Why didn't you go inside?

Why are you standing there?

Is something wrong?

Did that jerk hurt you?

It's Taejun. Taejun!

It's not "that jerk," but Kang Taejun!

You changed your mind after seeing her?

You regret ending up with me?

Did you have a change of heart?

Because you're trying to stir things up,

Taejun had a change of...

Change of what?

Poor Nayeon. That poor thing.

Taejun doesn't know about Saebyeol?

What do you mean?

If I keep working there,

you can't tell me to go on a blind date again.

You really want to do this?

There were signs of a miscarriage.

There was a bit of bleeding, too.
