(Episode 23)

Taejun.

Hi.

Bring Saebyeol out here.

Taejun,

you came here to see Saebyeol?

Just give me a minute.

I'll wake her up and bring her out.

Saebyeol...

Will be raised by me.

What are you saying?

Didn't you hear me?

I'll raise Saebyeol like you wanted.

Why?

Did Sejin say that

she'd take Saebyeol in?

Did she say she'd raise Saebyeol?

Was that why you called Sejin?

After I begged you not to,

you still called her

and were going tell her about Saebyeol?

Lee Nayeon!

This is all you amount to?

I...

You're saying that I called Sejin?

Sejin did nothing wrong.

Take out your anger on me if you have to.

Don't pick on innocent Sejin.

You're saying that I picked on Sejin?

What I wanted

was for you to not hide Saebyeol

and to openly acknowledge her as your daughter.

Even if you weren't going to marry me,

I wanted you to be there for Saebyeol

as her father.

But you care more about not hurting Sejin

than your own daughter?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

You're a mom, but you're using your child

to go around here and there

and disgrace yourself, making threats!

Not anymore.

I can't stand watching you use Saebyeol

to torment other people.

Go get Saebyeol!

Whatever happens,

I'm going to take care of Saebyeol.

I...

I used Saebyeol

and tormented people?

You can't see it?

You're using Saebyeol

to drag not just me but even Sejin...

Down into filth.

Okay, Kang Taejun. Let's go.

Let's go and ask Sejin.

Let's ask her

how I tormented her!

I have to ask her myself.

Let's go together and ask.

Nayeon.

Nayeon!

Nayeon!

Lee Nayeon!

Watch out!

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Are you two okay?

Some woman just jumped out in front of a car.

Yes, we're fine.

Good.

Oh, man!

They're only thinking of themselves.

If you're okay, let's get going.

Just a second.

Let me go and check on them.

Let's just go.

Just a second. It'll only take a second.

It's okay. Please drive.

Let's go then.

Just a second! Hold on!

What are you doing?

Get up. Let's move over there.

Don't be stubborn. Let's go see a doctor.

Get up.

This isn't enough to shock me.

Go home.

Nayeon...

What's wrong with you?

I told you I just wanted to check on them.

Must you be a reporter

every moment of your life?

And being too curious about others' misfortune

doesn't look very nice.

But sometimes that curiosity

ends up helping someone who's heartbroken

and stops the one who broke their heart.

Being a professional is great,

but when you're with someone else,

you should mind your manners.

So...

Are you saying that when I'm with you,

you want me to focus on you?

Is that it?

That's not half bad.

My stomach...

Nayeon.

Taejun, what's wrong with Nayeon?

Let's help her lie down.

This way.

Nice and slow.

- Her coat. / - Okay.

- I'll bring some warm water. / - Okay.

Taejun!

We need to talk.

What happened?

What's wrong with Nayeon?

She just had a bit of a shock.

It's nothing to worry about.

Why did you leave the door open...

How dare you show up here?

Mom.

What happened was...

You ungrateful jerk.

You beast!

You! You beast!

Mom!

I can't believe your audacity...

How dare you show up here?

How dare you?

Even beasts take care of their offspring.

You call yourself human?

After everything Nayeon did for you...

Do you think that Nayeon

kept Saebyeol a secret for her own sake?

She did it so you could

focus on your studies without being distracted!

But you couldn't stay faithful

and met another woman!

Stop it. You're embarrassing us!

Our neighbors are going to hear you!

She worked her butt off to get you where you are,

but you stabbed that poor girl

in the back?

How could you do that?

How? How could you do that?

How could you? How?

Mom, stop. Don't do this to Taejun.

Taejun, go home. Go now.

He can't go anywhere!

You think I'll let you go on with your life?

I will do my best

to compensate her.

What?

Compensate?

How dare you say such a thing?

I said stop it!

Just go.

Where are you going?

You!

You think you'll live in peace after this?

No! I'll follow you everywhere you go

and pray to God to destroy you!

- Let go! / - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, mom.

Mom, please!

Please stop this.

Stop this, mom...

Let go.

I'm not letting him get away with this.

Nayeon, you don't have to do anything.

I'll take care of this.

- Mom... / - Stop it.

It's all over.

When a man brings up money, it's all over.

So Nayeon, pull yourself together

and think about how to take care of Saebyeol!

Go in.

This feels nice.

Having a man take me home.

It's all in the script, so don't overreact.

It feels burdensome to me.

We're both faking all this,

so why does your fakery seem real?

Because I have a clear reason why I'm doing this.

Good night.

Please help me.

If you help me,

Taejun will realize his mistake.

Please stop this wedding.

Please...

Why aren't you coming to bed?

I'm coming.

What did you just hide in your drawer?

It's a complicated work document.

What is it? You can't sleep?

I don't know why,

but I keep feeling nervous,

and everything seems like a mess.

Why is the mother of the bride sighing?

Shall we have a glass of wine?

To help us sleep?

Shall we?

Get up.

You're home?

How did you get in...

Did you meet Sejin?

I went to your workplace this afternoon

and ran into her.

My goodness.

She's so well-mannered and friendly.

She had fancy steak delivered here

and bought me clothes and a handbag.

As a rich girl,

her spending style was out of this world.

Why would you come to my workplace?

Seriously...

Because you wouldn't answer my calls!

I got kicked out of my apartment because of you!

Yang Malsuk lost her head

because she found out you dumped Nayeon,

and she put all my stuff outside the apartment!

I had nowhere to go!

I couldn't keep staying at the sauna.

Find a place for yourself with this.

Don't ever rely on Nayeon again.

Oh, are you giving this to me?

How much is this?

But I have one condition.

What is it?

Never receive Nayeon's help again.

If you keep relying on Nayeon's family,

you'll never see me again.

Okay.

And when I bring Saebyeol,

raise her for me, mother. Money is no issue.

Mother?

Taejun!

Did I hear that right?

Promise me!

If you treat me like your mom,

I'll protect you with my life!

But does Sejin's family

know about Saebyeol?

Sejin doesn't know yet.

Only her father knows.

Really?

Sejin's pregnant, so what can he do?

But do you think that

Nayeon will send Saebyeol to you?

If she keeps using Saebyeol to cause issues,

I'm going to take her.

I bet she'd rather die than give her to you.

Saebyeol means the world to her.

I doubt she'll give her to you, no matter what.

Here.

You couldn't sleep?

You look awful.

I slept great.

Here.

Eat up. Don't pick at your food.

Good food will keep you healthy.

I know that good food will keep me healthy.

Mom, you eat, too.

Thanks.

Saebyeol, do you want some, too?

Mom, I want that.

Chew every bite carefully.

You're not going to eat?

She's going to be 30 soon,

but look at how she acts every morning.

She's the one who should make me breakfast.

Lee Geumbong!

Mom, I'll go.

It's okay. I'll go.

Oh, nice!

What's all that?

What do you mean? It's nothing.

Let me see that.

What is this?

Isn't this expensive?

What is that hanging from your neck?

Can't you tell?

This is a handbag, and this is a necklace.

But you said you got fired from your job.

How did you pay for these?

Right? They look like luxury brands, right?

Wow, they even fooled you!

Knockoffs these days are so well-made.

What?

I paid $30, but it looks like it's $3,000, right?

Did you really pay $30 for that?

Of course.

It looks authentic, doesn't it?

Then give it to me,

and buy yourself a new one.

What?

No.

Why not?

Here's $30, okay? Done!

No way!

No!

Mom. Mom!

'The sun will rise someday'

'The sun will rise someday'

'I came with big dreams'

Oh, my!

You!

Look!

When you hit someone,

you should run back and check on them!

Why are you just staring?

Ouch! My back!

Hey, do you think I'm joking here?

Why are you staring?

What are you going to do about this?

Happy, lady?

What? "Lady"?

How dare you call me that?

It's not like I can call you mom.

Are you crazy?

Ouch, my back!

What will you do about my back?

Look! Can't you see how hard my heart is pounding?

Give me your phone number.

I'm going to get X-rays and a CT scan,

so give me your number.

What?

You want my number? Give me your phone.

I'll punch in my number!

Why are you so rude?

You're just a boy,

but you have no manners at all!

Didn't your parents teach you manners?

- Forget it then! / - Okay!

Don't try to trick me.

Happy?

What a rude jerk.

His parents did an amazing job raising him.

But is he an actor?

He's pretty handsome.

And he looks familiar.

My son must be around his age.

You're going to pay for this, lady.

Oh, why is the door open?

What happened here?

Your things were all outside,

and you were nowhere to be seen!

What's going on?

Let's sign a new lease.

What kind of tenant

ever offers to pay more money?

Well, thank you.

Don't mention it.

It's your lucky day.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Wow, money really talks.

A bit more money on the lease

turned her into a pleasant woman.

Taejun, thank you.

Thanks to you, now I have

a lease with my name on it.

Next time I hope you can give me

a deed to my own apartment, my dear son!

Yes!

Isn't this great?

The music's great, the weather's great,

and our family is great...

Where could you find another son like me?

I took a day off work

to welcome you home from the hospital.

So...

Please stop punishing Hwigyeong

and move him to the headquarters.

He went on the blind date like you wanted him to,

and he's been seeing her.

You'll see if his job is a punishment or a prize.

Hey, why don't you bring her here?

Who?

Who do you think? Dohui.

Bring her over so I can meet her.

But we've only been on a few dates,

so it's a little too early.

If you keep pressuring the girl,

things might not work out.

We can invite her over eventually,

so just transfer Hwigyeong first.

He must be embarrassed in front of Dohui,

and it just doesn't look right.

Actually, I'm okay working there.

Instead of using my brain,

I prefer doing hard labor for now.

I have no complaints. I'm doing great.

You're not!

A man with no ambition

is useless!

Look at Sejin's fiancé.

He's already establishing himself at the company.

I can't hear the song because you're too loud.

Right, father?

Let me raise the volume.

Ms. Park is here.

She's on her way in.

You three must be really enjoying yourselves.

Hi, Yugyeong.

Welcome.

Why don't you turn the music off first?

Why didn't you say you were coming?

I went to the hospital,

but I heard you went home with your family.

With your family.

I actually hesitated about coming.

And I'm really regretting my decision to come.

You must be busy planning Sejin's wedding,

so why did you come?

You should've come with Gyeongwan some other day.

You don't need my congratulations, right, father?

If you really want to congratulate me,

don't say anything to upset me while you're here.

Please tell Sejin and her fiancé

to come and visit us sometime.

We should have dinner.

Nobody here wants to see them.

Having to sit together will be torture for everyone.

What are you waiting for? Take me to my room!

Why? Yugyeong is here,

so have lunch with her and hang out.

Are you deaf?

I'm not hungry right now. I'm tired.

Take me to my room!

I wish I could turn the clock back by just an hour.

Then I could stop myself from coming here.

I'll leave.

You and your family can go back to laughing

and having a relaxed time together.

Stop it.

I said stop it!

I told you to stop!

What's wrong? I'm cleaning.

Can't you see that I'm working?

Do you think I'm playing? I'm working, too!

Do you have short-term memory loss?

Because of your mom, I was locked in my room

for three hours yesterday!

Don't you remember?

I have to send this in by 5:00.

If I don't meet the deadline,

I can't pay this month's rent or living expenses.

Okay, keep working.

But it's not like the rent is that high.

Jungdae, coffee.

Okay, I got it.

No, no. Not instant coffee.

Get me drip coffee from down the street.

You pay me peanuts, but you expect so much.

Seriously...

Hello?

Hello, I'm reporter Baek.

White Viper.

What do you want with me?

What? You're going to publish a correction?

As I told you, unless my article was false,

I don't see the need for a correction.

Then why are you calling?

I have nothing to say to you.

But I have something to say to you.

Can we meet up for a bit?

Meet up?

Why would I do that?

You seem very angry at me,

so let's talk in person.

If you tell me where you live, I'll come over.

No, I have a deadline to meet.

I'm sorry.

I'm kind of impatient.

You seem busy, so I'll ask over the phone.

You said that

someone got hurt because of the article on

the wedding of Baekdo's Jang Sejin and Kang Taejun.

Who is that?

Why do you want to know?

Did one of those two people

have a hidden lover?

I wasn't expecting that.

You're interested in love affairs, too?

Aren't you Ms. Righteous, who goes after big fish?

I think this might become a big fish.

And I might be able to expose the ugly truth

about the daughter of a rich and powerful family.

Who knows?

I might be able to help the wronged person.

I'm a reporter, too.

Why would I need

help from you?

- I'm hanging up. / - Just a second.

Call me anytime if you need my help.

She wants to help Nayeon?

Something smells fishy.

Asking Hwigyeong about it

won't get me anywhere...

That's my ball.

You're pretty, just like your mom.

You know my mom?

Who are you?

Saebyeol!

Mom!

Why are you outside?

This man helped me get my ball back.

Your daughter is pretty and smart.

Saebyeol,

go play with your friends.

Let me talk to this man.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Bye. I'll see you again.

There's nothing you don't know.

You found Saebyeol's preschool.

Why did you come?

Can we talk?

What is this?

I happen to be

a selfish dad who only cares about his daughter.

I knew you wouldn't like this,

but I couldn't think of any other way.

I hope this can help you get a new start.

($1 Million)

Seeing this

makes me realize how much you love Sejin.

Thank you for showing me

the kind of money I will never see again.

You're not going to take it?

I love money

as much as the next person,

but if I accept that,

I'll have to do what you say.

So I can't accept it.

No matter how much I love money,

I can't allow

someone else to control my life.

Sejin's wedding is next month.

What are you going to do?

I'm not sure.

But I learned that

getting married isn't as easy as it sounds.

Are you saying you'll fight with me?

I won't fight with anyone.

Don't worry.

I'm letting Taejun go.

But...

I can't give up on Saebyeol's dad.

No one should

take a child's dad away from her.

Tell Sejin

about Saebyeol,

and tell everything to your wife.

I'm going to make everyone

accept them as father and daughter. Actually,

I must make that happen.

No, that's not going to happen.

That will cause irreparable harm

to both Sejin and my wife.

Too much greed can bring trouble.

If you keep that up,

you won't just lose Taejun.

Unless you want to lose Saebyeol, too,

change your mind

and disappear from our lives.

Are you threatening me right now?

When negotiation fails,

going after the opponent's weak spot

is a basic business strategy.

I'm being as considerate as I can be right now.

And this is the last advice I have to offer.

You're making a mistake.

You just

used my daughter to threaten me.

Shall I do the same?

Shall I

do the same with your daughter Sejin?

I'm getting a sudden urge

to do anything to stop their wedding.

You think I can't?

As a parent, you shouldn't say things like that.

It took 2 hours and 15 minutes to pick this dress.

70% my mom's taste and 30% mine.

To make my mom happy, I went with her choice.

Do you like it?

You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.

Thank you, and I'm sorry, Sejin.

Who are you?

Oh, aren't you the caterer

who cooked that dinner for my daughter?

You recognize me.

How have you been?

What brings you here?

We just watched

while the expert did all the cooking.

I've lost my mind.

It would be weird if I didn't lose my mind!

Are you the same Lee Nayeon I used to know?

I wanted to get Saebyeol her dad back,

but I can't do it.

Did you come here

to kneel down and apologize on behalf of Taejun?

How awful must Nayeon have been

for Taejun to fall for another woman?

You have a biological mother somewhere else?

She still looked glamorous, so I recognized her.

You two are really dating each other?

From now on, you don't have to feel

any sense of duty or responsibility.
