(Episode 24)

Where are my wife and Sejin?

They're in the kitchen. You should go see them.

Sejin's in the kitchen?

She made me promise to bring Taejun,

so I guess she's preparing something special.

- Let's go. / - Okay.

Wow, what's all this?

You two ladies prepared dinner together?

Welcome.

Hello.

Thank you for inviting me.

Welcome.

We just watched.

The professional did all the cooking.

She's the same caterer

who cooked my welcome-home dinner.

It's not much, but I did my best.

Sit down, everyone. Sit.

- Okay, let's sit down. / - Yes.

- Taejun, come sit down. / - Okay.

What's going on?

I thought it was going to be a simple dinner.

Why did you call a caterer?

It just happened that way.

Sejin and I went to look at wedding gowns,

and we ran into her just outside the door.

She was in the area and dropped by,

so I asked her to come in.

I asked her to cook dinner for us.

I wanted to invite Taejun over for dinner.

He really liked her food

the last time he was here.

I'm glad you called her.

Thank you.

Enjoy the food.

You've worked hard. You should go.

It's late.

I don't think I can go.

Dad, the highlight of this dinner is the dessert.

I asked her for a Korean-style dessert.

I'll start it when you're finished with dinner.

Get a hold of yourself!

You're out of your mind!

Yes, I'm out of my mind.

It would be weird if I were sane!

Sejin's father threatened me.

He said unless I want to lose Saebyeol, too,

I'd better disappear.

Do you know what I said?

I told him to bring it on!

That I wasn't going to take it lying down.

I told him I'd go to Sejin and her mom

and tell them about Saebyeol

and stop your wedding no matter what!

No, you can't tell them.

You can't hurt me. Never.

What?

Because you still love me.

So you'll never be able to do that.

Kang Taejun...

I'm begging you.

Don't waste your time on a jerk like me.

Move on.

Get a new start with Saebyeol.

That's the best thing we can do.

What? You two knew each other?

Sejin.

The woman who cooked

my welcome-home dinner and this dinner for you...

She was your ex?

I'll explain. I'll tell you everything.

Let go.

I heard that

your name is Lee Nayeon.

Are you the same Lee Nayeon I used to know?

This isn't a very nice place to meet

after 20 long years.

Have you been well, Jang Sejin?

It's true.

You really are Lee Nayeon.

We need to talk. I'll tell you everything.

Let go of me.

I've been totally clueless.

I can't believe I didn't recognize you.

I can be so dense.

I was like that 20 years ago, remember?

I hate losing to anyone,

but you always made me look like a fool.

Don't you remember?

Not really.

Should we go get a drink

instead of standing here? It's been 20 years.

- My treat. / - Jang Sejin.

Why are you acting like this?

I said I'd tell you everything!

What? Tell me what?

I've heard everything! What else is there?

Is there something else I have to know?

You have a kid?

The kid's name is Saebyeol?

Saebyeol is a very pretty name.

Is it a girl?

If she took after Taejun, she must be a darling.

I'd love to meet her.

Let's go. We need to talk.

I'll tell you everything.

Okay.

It's late.

We can meet another day.

Taejun.

It's late, so drive Nayeon home.

I'm going home.

It was nice to see you again.

Wait...

Sejin.

It's okay. Call me tomorrow.

Are you happy now?

Sejin knows everything, just like you wanted.

Are you glad now?

You're going to regret

what you did tonight.

Sejin!

Sejin.

Why did it have to be Nayeon?

Sejin...

Why?

Of all the women...

Why did it have to be her? Why?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. I'm sorry.

No.

Even if you'd told me, nothing would've changed.

Nothing would've changed.

Kang Taejun.

Listen to me carefully.

What's done is done.

Only fools would try to undo it.

We can just put it behind us

and move on.

There's only one thing you can do for me.

Don't look back,

and keep looking forward.

Got it?

Our wedding is still on.

Everything will stay the same.

All that's changed

is that I know about Saebyeol.

I actually need time to process it.

So let me think about it.

You have a kid?

You had Taejun's kid?

Nice to meet you.

I'm Sejin. Jang Sejin.

What's that?

Mr. Jang gave me that.

Just hold on a little longer, okay?

Why in the world...

Why did it have to be you, Lee Nayeon?

Dad...

I hoped you wouldn't find out

until you were married.

But I guess that was wishful thinking.

Dad, you knew about this?

Taejun came and told me.

Taejun did?

He didn't know about his child at first,

so he was pretty shocked, too.

There's no need to complicate things.

Can you

let go of Taejun?

That's settled then.

Get some rest.

Your baby must be in shock, too.

I don't care.

I stole Taejun

from that woman anyway.

So I can take anything.

I can handle it. I'm prepared for it.

I think I can handle him having a kid.

But why,

why did it have to be Lee Nayeon?

I'm scared.

I think everything will be ruined.

Taejun, my baby, and my future.

All of it!

It's okay.

I won't let that happen.

Don't worry about anything,

and just think about your baby, okay?

Dad,

I can't let go of Taejun.

I'll take care of every problem,

whether it's the kid or something else,

and I'll never let go of Taejun.

I'll hold onto him.

I'm not letting go of Taejun.

He can't get her a decent engagement ring.

What would I ever do with this?

I've no daughter-in-law, so I'll give it to Sejin.

I wore it at my wedding, and it still looks great.

But is it too old-fashioned for Sejin?

(Paternity Test Report)

You're such an idiot!

Why did you mess with me? Why?

Is this yours?

Yes, why do you ask?

Why do you only have one?

Lee Yunae!

I tried to get back

the man who betrayed me

by crying and making threats.

I know

I'm such a loser.

But...

Why did you have such a loser daughter?

You should have had

a daughter who's smarter and cooler.

Why did you have such a loser daughter?

Why did you...

Have such a loser daughter? Why?

Why...

Why am I so...

The smell of chicken...

My insides are melting...

What does that woman put in her chicken?

Why is it so enticing?

I swore to myself I wouldn't come here again,

so why did I come back?

Wait, what did I ever do wrong?

It's not like I want to eat for free.

I'll pay for the chicken, so what's wrong?

Oh, goodness...

Look who's here. Oh Manjeong!

I knew you'd come back here.

Once people have tried my chicken,

even if it's just once,

they can't help but come back for more.

How funny.

You think I came here to eat chicken?

Then did you come to kneel down

and apologize on Taejun's behalf?

Why would I do such a thing?

Frankly, what did Taejun ever do wrong?

It's a woman's job to keep her man in line,

so imagine how awful Nayeon must've been

for Taejun to fall for another woman!

What?

Oh Manjeong, I was planning

to pull your hair out once I got my hands on you,

so I'm glad you came. Come here!

Go pluck chicken feathers!

Why go after my hair? You brute!

Brute? How dare you...

Really?

You have a biological mom alive somewhere?

I still have a vague memory of her.

Since I was little,

my father went on many business trips abroad,

and he was always busy.

My mom was very elegant and beautiful.

Your biological mom must've been gorgeous.

People who are glamorous on the outside

are always very lonely inside.

My father gave her expensive gifts,

but they didn't fill the void in my mom's heart.

So when I was about 5 years old,

my mom couldn't bear it anymore and left.

My father wouldn't give me to her,

so I ended up living with him.

So you don't know how your mom is doing?

I met her recently.

I ran into her, as if it was a movie.

You did?

So? What happened?

I recognized her because she was still glamorous.

She looked the same.

She was still glowing and graceful.

Oh, my...

So? What happened?

But she didn't recognize me.

We bumped into each other in the street,

but she didn't recognize me.

She asked me if I was okay, if I wasn't hurt.

She was so warm.

Oh, no...

Segwang.

Don't cry.

Your mom will recognize you someday.

Excuse me.

This is an important call.

Go answer it.

I guess not all rich people are happy.

Hello?

Remember me?

You hit me with your motorcycle

this afternoon.

I think my back is messed up.

I didn't hit you.

You're framing an innocent man.

Oh, your story is changing

since you're not in hot water anymore?

Is that it?

You told me to call you!

So what do you want?

I need to get X-rays tomorrow.

We need to meet.

Fine. Let's do that.

Where should I come?

Okay.

But if you try to con me,

I'm going to make sure

that you end up in prison.

What a rude jerk.

What an example of bad parenting.

(Saebyeol's College Tuition)

I'm a bad mom.

I'm sorry.

I really wanted to get your dad back for you,

but I don't think I can.

Can I...

Stop trying now?

You'll be fine,

even if your dad isn't here,

won't you, Saebyeol?

Just like now?

Promise me.

Is it true?

What are you talking about?

The ridiculous rumor

that's been going around here.

I heard you're the son of the Baekdo chairman,

so is that true?

Maybe.

What kind of answer is that?

It's a yes or no question.

Tell me. You're not his son, right?

It's a ludicrous lie, right?

I hate to lie.

Why didn't you find out sooner?

You were mean to me all this time,

so I've been dying to tell you.

So it's true?

Oh, you're in big trouble now.

You were so mean to the chairman's son,

so now you've been blacklisted.

You're crazy.

If you're the chairman's son,

I'm the uncle of the president of Korea.

What?

Don't be cheeky in front of others,

and watch what you say.

You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth,

so don't show off in front of

hardworking average people.

Don't act like a know-it-all, and learn the work.

I didn't say anything!

I'm working hard without complaining!

Thank you. This couldn't have been easy.

Imagine how bad it must be

for me to expose the woman I worked for.

Of course. We must keep her

from using money and power to evade the law.

Thank you for agreeing to talk to me.

(Park Hwigyeong's womanizing ends his marriage)

(Two faces of Park Hwigyeong)

(First interview with Cha Sujin since the divorce)

(Attempted suicide several times from depression)

Did she get remarried or something?

But they didn't seem like a married couple.

Excuse me, sir.

You're working so hard!

Here. Have some of this.

Who are you?

Me?

I'm moving into apartment 706 next week.

You are?

But I haven't heard they were moving out.

Oh, there's still a week left.

I'll be living here alone,

and I have to deal with so many things.

So I came by in advance.

Sir, try it.

It gives you energy when you're tired.

- Uh, thanks. / - You must be exhausted.

I don't know if they're married,

but I'm sure they don't live together.

That woman's been coming here for a long time.

Almost 10 years, I think.

10 years?

So she's been coming to that man's place

since before she married Park Hwigyeong.

What is up with you?

What is it?

Did father collapse again?

Catch your breath first.

Your father didn't collapse.

Then why did you tell me to come home?

Just take back one move! Don't be so stubborn.

No. Once a move is made, there's no going back.

What's going on?

That's what I want to ask you.

Dohui brought flowers for your father

to welcome him home from the hospital.

What are you doing?

You said you weren't interested in getting married.

Are you two really dating?

We're not, so don't get your hopes up.

Okay.

I'll take one move back, just this once.

You should've done that sooner.

Isn't this how you show respect

for your elders?

What are you doing here?

Can't you tell? She's playing Korean chess with me.

Hello. Just a minute.

Let me finish this game.

Here I come.

Checkmate.

What? Again!

Oh, boy.

I let my guard down.

What's the meaning of this?

Nothing special.

Your paychecks were deposited there,

so of course I should give them back.

Look. There's quite a bit of money in there.

It's not enough that I'm a jerk?

You want to make me cheap on top of that?

I gave these accounts to you.

They were yours from the beginning.

That money

was for our dreams and our future.

So it was fun for me

to save every penny.

But there's nothing left between us,

so what's the use?

I don't need it.

I should give it back to its owner.

What?

But you have Saebyeol.

I'll raise her by myself.

Like I've been doing until now.

What are you saying?

It's like I said.

I'm not going to beg anymore.

You weren't ready to be Saebyeol's dad,

but I forced you into it.

That was my mistake.

And I don't think it's good for Saebyeol.

- Nayeon... / - From now on,

you don't have to feel any sense of responsibility.

But when Saebyeol is all grown up

and comes looking for you,

don't avoid her. Give her a warm hug.

What are you going to do?

Don't worry about me.

I've done well up till now,

and I plan to do the same in the future.

I can ensure Saebyeol is well provided for.

There's no need for that.

But let me ask you one last favor.

How far do you want to go?

What are you going to do?

I warned you not to overreact.

I've gotten very curious about you.

Bring Nayeon to me right now!

It's over.

Taejun and I broke up.

I hate watching my child suffer.

Thank you.

As long as I have you,

I can keep smiling.

Mom, thank you very much.
