(Episode 27)

You're back.

It's pretty late, dad.

I didn't expect you to be home so early.

You didn't see Taejun tonight?

Just during lunch.

Mom's been feeling upset,

and I didn't want to upset her more,

so I came home early.

Your mom's still upset?

I'm a little worried about her.

She nagged me about not hanging out with her,

but she didn't even come out of her room tonight.

You can go upstairs.

Leave your mom to me.

I must be getting old.

You don't even greet me when I come home.

The woman in these photos

is the caterer I hired the other night, right?

Why do you have photos of her?

And what's the meaning of that money?

I'm sure you know already.

You probably found out

that she is

Yunae's daughter Nayeon.

You kept in touch with Nayeon all this time?

Behind my back?

Did you pretend not to know her

when you knew she was Yunae's daughter Nayeon?

Did you?

Stop jumping to conclusions.

There's no need to get excited.

I only met her when she came to our house.

I wasn't sure, so I looked into it,

and she was Nayeon.

Yunae's daughter Nayeon.

Then why did she show up at our house again?

Why, all of a sudden?

I don't think it was intentional.

She just came here to work,

and it turned out to be our family.

Is that really all?

There was no ulterior motive?

What ulterior motive?

Don't bother that poor girl.

She's a single mom, and she's not doing so well.

Are you sure that

she didn't intentionally show up at our house?

Is she out for revenge

because she has a grudge against me?

Revenge?

Did you do something to her without my knowing?

Of course I didn't!

She was such a crafty girl.

Then what is that money for?

You're going to give that to her?

After I sent her to the orphanage,

I always had this guilt inside me.

She seemed to be struggling to make ends meet,

so I wanted to help.

With that kind of money?

I'll take care of it.

You'd better not go see Nayeon

and stir things up again.

You're the mother of a bride-to-be.

Think positive thoughts, and be positive.

Why did I ever hire her to cook for me?

Saebyeol.

If you only play with the teddy bear,

don't you think Saeri here will be bored?

But I played with her so many times.

I want to play with my teddy bear right now.

If you only play with the teddy bear,

Saeri will get bored.

Why don't you play with her, too?

No, no!

You can play with this tomorrow.

No, I want to play some more!

No. You have to go brush your teeth.

Give me back my teddy bear! Give it back!

You have to get ready for bed!

You're going to play with this all night?

Give me back my teddy bear!

What's wrong, Saebyeol?

What is it?

- Granny! / - Yes?

It's nothing.

She's held that all day and won't get washed up.

Is that true?

Granny, I want to sleep in your room.

Okay, come sleep there.

Saebyeol, your granny is tired.

Come and go to bed.

- No! / - Just leave her be.

Every kid does this with their new toy.

Come sleep in granny's room.

Nayeon, open the door for me.

Why did you get so drunk?

I was so happy, so I had a few drinks.

Soon I'll rise

up to the top.

Okay, I got it.

Keep it down. Mom might come out.

But Nayeon...

Now that my life might change completely,

I really hate myself.

I think I'm such a loser.

I'm a really bad person.

Okay, okay.

I'll make you some honey tea. Let's go upstairs.

As if she did something to be proud of.

She doesn't deserve honey tea!

After Eunbong moved out,

I thought I'd never see another drunk,

but now she's acting this way.

I think something made her upset.

Mom, what did you do when you were young?

What?

Why couldn't you get rich?

You're not running a chicken farm

or a fried chicken franchise company.

You're running a tiny little chicken restaurant!

Why is our family business a chicken restaurant?

What? Why, that little...

How dare you scream at me?

Geumbong, what's wrong?

You're drunk.

Let's go upstairs.

This is all your fault.

It's your fault that my life sucks!

Why couldn't you provide better? Why not?

I'm going to tell him everything.

That it's all a lie, that I've been deceiving him.

I'm going to come clean and end it.

Yes, you should.

Don't keep your worries bottled up inside.

Just let it all out, okay?

Before it's too late,

let it all out.

What?

A tiny little chicken restaurant?

Yes, I'm so dumb and incapable

that I worked my butt off to save enough money

to open that tiny little chicken restaurant.

That horrible girl...

After I raised her without her dad...

What? Why couldn't I get rich?

How can she be so mean?

(Personnel Appointment Announcement)

(Warehouse, Park Hwigyeong)

Someone's moving. Who is it?

Oh, my...

(Warehouse, Park Hwigyeong)

(Management Head Office 1, Director)

How is that kind of move possible?

From the warehouse to a director at headquarters?

Talk about a roller coaster ride.

Wow, I'm so jealous.

Thanks to his father,

he went straight up.

Did you hear?

The new director is really hot.

All the women are talking about him.

Snap out of it, Ms. Bang Sora.

He's divorced.

Who cares about that?

He doesn't have any kids.

That's enough.

What's the big deal about our new boss?

Do you think that appointment was justified?

What do you mean?

Think of the age we're living in.

We need expert management,

but he just dropped out of the sky.

He'll be our new boss,

but on top of being the chairman's son,

there are so many bad rumors about him.

You're more prejudiced

than I expected.

Excuse me?

He hasn't even started working here yet.

That kind of slander

makes me feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.

I'm trying to look at it from a broader...

I need that report on the effect of the Korean Wave

on Chinese tourists.

I asked for it a while ago.

Yes, I'll hurry up.

Now you're doing things without my knowledge?

I understand that you're upset.

But can you please trust me

with regard to Hwigyeong's appointment?

I've always trusted you.

I'm just hoping that my trust

won't be destroyed because of a stupid decision.

Is it true?

You moved Hwigyeong

to the headquarters as a new director?

Gyeongwan did that on his own.

I'm furious about that right now.

Ms. Park just arrived and is coming in.

You go and greet her.

I've had enough trouble for today.

Go!

It smells good, doesn't it?

It's bellflower tea, good for in-between seasons.

You didn't call me to look out for my health.

What do you want?

You're always in a hurry.

This is from your father.

He wants you to use this money for Sejin's wedding.

Take it.

My father?

I don't believe this. He's confusing me.

I can see it in your face.

If you're grateful,

just say thank you and use it.

Sure. Tell him I appreciate it.

Anyway, we should say hello

to Taejun's parents.

I'd like to invite them over for dinner.

Nobody does that these days.

Everyone meets for the first time

at the wedding nowadays.

By the way, why are you all smiles?

Did you have a nice dream or something?

You haven't heard?

About what?

Hwigyeong's been moved to the headquarters.

He's a new director in management.

What?

Gyeongwan was great.

I'll thank him properly later.

You must really dislike that tea.

You're just holding it without even trying it.

Does my father know?

I went ahead without telling him.

He hasn't accepted the decision yet,

so you have to work hard.

Gyeongwan, I'm...

Mr. Jang.

You have to call me Mr. Jang from now on.

You'll start in your new position tomorrow.

Gyeongwan,

I'm not ready yet.

You can get ready once you start.

Please give me some time.

You have one day.

Think about it for one day.

That's all you're getting.

Are you out of your mind?

Honey...

Was this it?

What are you talking about, Yugyeong?

Why don't you sit down and tell me...

You begged father and coaxed Gyeongwan

to give you a position in this company?

What are you saying?

Nepotism is a huge problem in Korea.

How can you make him the director

when he's not even vetted?

What will become of this company?

This is why you and Taejun get a bad rap

since you're related to the owner,

even though you got promoted based on ability.

Let's talk about this at home.

This is my workplace,

and I'm having a business meeting with Hwigyeong.

I think I know why she's concerned.

I'll start work tomorrow,

Mr. Jang.

What?

I guess I'll have to work really hard

if I don't want to make Yugyeong worried.

Good. I'll see you tomorrow.

It's your first day,

so you should brace yourself and be prepared.

Yes, I will.

I'll see you again, Yugyeong.

This company is responsible for thousands of jobs.

It's not here to satisfy your personal needs.

I'm your little brother,

so I already know that.

I'm going now.

Hello.

I'm reporter Baek Dohui from Jungle News.

May I have some of your time?

A reporter?

I think you're mistaken.

What would a reporter want with me?

I left messages in your mailbox, but you didn't reply.

And you wouldn't answer the door.

You should've put something shocking in my mailbox.

Or maybe instead of ringing my doorbell,

you should've just broken the lock open.

Then I could've called the police.

This isn't serious enough for the police yet.

You know Park Hwigyeong, don't you?

All females in the world are my enemies,

but when it comes to ribs, cow ribs are the best.

What the...

- You eat. / - You eat.

Have I gone crazy?

Why am I thinking about

that rude jerk right now?

My son Gwang

could eat a whole bowl of rice

when I made him ribs.

Hello?

What do you like?

Who is this?

It's me.

The motorcyclist you failed to rip off.

What's going on?

Didn't you treat me like a panhandler?

I hate owing anyone.

You bought me barbecue last time,

and I'll pay you back with interest, so come on out.

Really?

What would you like to eat?

- Crab in soy sauce? / - Crab in soy sauce.

How's that?

I just got here.

Don't worry. I'm not going to cook.

I just bought some fruit and vegetables.

Taejun, did you leave your office yet?

So you'll be here soon.

Okay. Hurry home.

I knew it would be like this.

Kang Taejun,

starting tomorrow,

your day starts with me.

This will have to do until our wedding.

He really needs me to clean up after him.

What's that?

(To Lee Nayeon)

You must be hungry.

I got your favorite Gaeseong dumplings.

Is this Saebyeol's?

Don't worry about it.

She left it when she was here.

I was going to mail it to her.

You three were here together?

It's nothing to get upset over.

She couldn't reach me, so she came here.

That must have been nice.

All three of you under one roof.

That's enough.

It's all over.

You call this over?

You still have Saebyeol's stuff in your apartment!

And you call this over?

Do you think I'm a joke?

What do you think you're doing?

I'm begging you!

Please.

Don't hate the little girl.

She's a victim, too.

What about me?

What does that make me?

Am I the one who made them into victims?

What's wrong with you?

I didn't mean it like that.

You think I don't feel anything?

Whatever you do,

I have to sit here and take it?

I'm a human being, too. I'm a woman, too.

I get enraged

hundreds of times a day!

I'm having a hard time, too!

- Let go of me. / - Please...

I don't need this!

Don't worry. I'll throw it out.

There's no need.

I'll send it, okay?

Saebyeol, is the chicken that good?

Yes.

Granny's onion chicken is the best.

Doesn't it make you wonder?

Ms. Yang Malsuk may not be well educated,

but she sure is clever, isn't she?

How did she come up with onion chicken?

It's not greasy, and kids love it.

She's so smart.

But what good is this?

If you want to be rich, you need a knack

for making money, or rich parents.

Whenever you open your mouth,

you make me want to smack you.

Hey, Nayeon's pretty late.

She went to cook for that housewarming party.

She said she'd go straight home from there.

Right, work is the best medicine.

- Is it good? / - Yes.

Welcome. Have a seat.

Can I have a beer and the menu, please?

Geumbong, take his order.

Me again?

Geumbong, stay.

Huh? Unbelievable.

What's gotten into her?

She's going to serve chicken?

Why did you come here?

You bragged about how delicious the food is.

Hurry up and leave. Leave.

Don't glare at me. It'll give me nightmares.

I'm a customer here.

I don't need a customer like you, so leave.

I'll wrap up your chicken to go, okay?

No. I'm eating here.

Please leave

before you get drunk

and tell my mom everything.

If she finds out I live at your apartment,

she'll kill me. Please!

Just like that?

What do you want?

If you're that desperate,

give me $100 more for monthly rent.

Are you nuts?

Are you trying to rob me?

It's the going rate.

Don't you know the rent in my area went up?

Fine.

I got it, so hurry up and get lost.

Can I have one onion chicken to go?

You must work late.

You still have things to say to me?

It's cold.

I've been waiting out here, and I'm freezing.

Let's go someplace warm and have some tea.

Sit down.

What? Okay.

I'm glad your family isn't here.

Frankly, I don't like seeing you.

Having to sit facing you in my room

is uncomfortable.

Right. I'll get to the point.

What's this?

It's Saebyeol's scarf that she left

at Taejun's apartment.

The hat and the hairband are gifts from Taejun.

You came all the way to my house

to give these to me at this hour?

You know I'm impatient.

I wanted to end things as soon as possible.

End things?

We still have things to end?

I think Taejun is hung up on Saebyeol.

He's having a hard time.

But I can't tolerate it.

I can understand it in my head,

but my heart won't listen.

So?

So you help me.

Even if Taejun comes to see Saebyeol,

you turn him away.

If he starts feeling attached to her,

there'll be no going back.

You shouldn't have come here.

That issue is between you two.

Go ask Taejun.

Plead with him and resolve it between you two.

Would you please leave now?

My mom and sister will be home soon.

I don't want to introduce you to them.

Okay, I'll go.

Let's not meet again.

You make sure of that. I'm requesting that of you.

Hello.

Good morning.

Good morning.

(Congratulations on your promotion, from Baek Dohui)

Yes?

That reporter came to see me!

Stop her. Stop that reporter!

Why are you torturing me with ancient history?

Stirring things up with me will end up hurting you.

Don't you agree?

Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen.

Ms. Baek, I need to see you.

Sure.

You want to celebrate your promotion with me?

You know very well

that's not what I want.

So do I have to brace myself?

You should know that, too.

Well, I'm getting a bit scared.

Sure. I'll see you there.

What?

Are you going to try to protect your ex-wife?

Well...

I'm not sure if that woman is worth it.

Park Hwigyeong, stop provoking me.

Or I just might write an article about you.

(Family Relation Certificate)

(Adoption Relation Certificate)

I don't think it was intentional.

She just came here to work,

and it turned out to be our family.

We're late. Let's hurry.

Mom, I'm not late.

But I have a catering job today,

so I have to hurry.

Let's go.

Should we run?

No, we don't have to.

We can just walk quickly.

Ms. Lee Nayeon?

What brings you here?

That must be your daughter.

How did you know where I live?

If you needed catering service,

you could've called me.

Why don't we go somewhere and talk?

You grew up very well.

If it hadn't been for my husband,

I would've been completely oblivious

and hired you to cook for me again.

But I'm glad.

I thought you grew up at the orphanage,

but you luckily got adopted

and found a new family.

You're right.

If you hadn't

dumped me at an orphanage 20 years ago,

I wouldn't have gotten this lucky.

You're as cheeky as you were 20 years ago

when you left my house clenching your fist.

So did you come to our house

because you wanted to thank me?

My husband said that

you came to our house by chance, just to work.

But I couldn't believe it.

You're as beautiful

as you were 20 years ago.

And you're as inconsiderate as ever.

You're the one who called me to hire me.

It wasn't me who called you.

Fine. Let's say that was true the first time.

What about the second time?

You knew it was my house,

but came back as if everything was normal.

You acted like you didn't know us

and cooked for us with a smile.

So why?

Why did you come back, knowing everything?

Was it because of money?

I heard you're a single mom.

My husband said that

you're struggling to make ends meet,

and the girl's father isn't in the picture.

Was that why?

No, it wasn't like that.

I just wanted to go back there again.

It brought back memories.

That was all.

Really?

I have to go.

What does he do?

The girl's father, I mean.

How irresponsible can he be

to have a child with you and abandon you?

Who is it?

You want to know?

Who the father is?

What did Nayeon say?

Just what did Nayeon say to you?

Your mother met with Nayeon?

Now she knows?

Your son met a rich girl

and became really successful!

I mooched off my successful son,

and my luck is going to change completely.

When you mentioned starting something,

did you mean you'd start digging into my divorce?

What I want to learn about is you.

Don't worry. Just like you wanted,

I killed Kang Taejun.
