(Episode 29)

Don't you dare curse my son!

If you people don't bother Taejun,

we'll have nothing to worry about.

If Nayeon doesn't show up at the wedding

and try to ruin things, we'll be fine!

Hey, I'll give you that money,

so keep Nayeon in line

until my son's wedding. Got it?

How dare she demand $10,000...

Mom.

What are you doing in here?

Mother.

Sejin, you've been waiting for me all this time?

You didn't have to.

Who might this be?

This is my mom.

Mom, say hello.

This is Taejun's mother.

Oh, I thought you must be an actress.

I got that a lot when I was young.

It's nice to meet you, Ms. Park.

I can't believe we're meeting for the first time

in this smelly restroom.

Mom, what are you doing? She said hello.

Come with me.

Mom, what is it? What's wrong?

Wait, what happened?

Did I do something wrong?

Did she hear everything I said

to Yang Malsuk on the phone?

I can't believe my mouth!

Wait...

How could Sejin's mom know about Nayeon?

What happened to her?

Sejin isn't answering her phone, either.

I will go and check.

Oh, Taejun!

Mom, why are you acting like this?

Jang Sejin.

Look at me and tell me.

What?

What do you want me to tell you?

Leave nothing out, and give it to me straight.

What kind of relationship

does Taejun have with Nayeon?

What are you talking about?

In the restroom just now,

I heard that woman, Taejun's mom,

talking to someone on the phone.

She mentioned Nayeon

and told the other person to keep her in line.

Why would Taejun's mom

mention Nayeon?

Tell me. Do Taejun and Nayeon

know each other or not?

Yes, they know each other.

What?

How do they know each other?

I asked how they know each other!

It's not what you're thinking.

Their mothers know each other.

That's how they know each other.

I found out recently.

I'm telling you, that's all.

Is that really all?

Look into my eyes, and tell me.

Yes, that's all.

Then why haven't you told me about it?

Because I was afraid you'd react this way.

Once you feel suspicious about something,

it always gets blown out of proportion.

That was why I couldn't tell you.

Please don't jump to conclusions.

Let's go.

Everyone must be wondering what's going on.

How can I meet Taejun's mother like this?

What happened?

Taejun's mother is here and everything.

I'm sorry. My mom has a bad headache,

so we had to go buy some medicine.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I had a headache and was inconsiderate.

It's okay. That can happen.

Women get terrible headaches during menopause.

Your noggin feels like...

I mean, your head feels like it's splitting open.

One bite for Teddy.

One bite for dad.

Saebyeol, it's me.

Mom, is it someone's birthday today?

Why do you ask? Because I got a lot of stuff?

Yes. I wish there was cake.

It's no one's birthday today.

I just want to make something delicious

for you, your granny, and your aunt.

So you're our caterer today?

Yes. Are you that happy about it?

Yeah.

You only make food for other people.

You never do it at home.

I've been a very bad mom, right?

No, you're not bad at all, mom.

Because you're family.

Thanks, Saebyeol.

I'll make you the most delicious dinner ever.

Okay.

But I feel a little bad.

Why?

We'll be eating without dad.

Mom, when dad comes back from America,

let's have dinner together.

I'll be bigger then,

so I'll help out a lot.

Sure. Let's do that.

Oh, so that's why Aunt Eunbong is here.

Aunt Eunbong is here?

Eunbong, you're here?

She's asleep.

What's with the luggage?

When did you come home?

Eunbong, did you not get any sleep last night?

You were really fast asleep.

I had a deadline,

so I worked until really late.

I did get some sleep at the sauna,

but I'm still exhausted.

The sauna?

You moved out of Jungdae's apartment?

What's with the luggage?

I moved out.

Eunbong, did something happen with Jungdae?

Did you two fight?

We're not kids. Whatever.

Don't mention his name in front of me for now.

I'm going to start apartment hunting soon.

Nayeon, I'm hungry.

Do you have anything to eat?

Hold on.

I was actually going to call you.

Why? Is something happening today?

No, nothing's happening.

It's just a family dinner.

Nayeon.

Yes?

Thank you

for turning back into the cheery Lee Nayeon we know.

Of course.

We're only going to smile from now on.

Eunbong, go back to sleep while I cook.

I'll call you when the food is ready.

Wow.

It's been two days, but you won't even call me?

Fine. I'll give you five more minutes.

If you call me within five minutes and apologize,

I'll consider forgiving you, since I am

a very forgiving and understanding person.

Hello?

Yes.

It's me.

I know.

I can smell your loneliness from...

You destroyed my ego,

and you won't even call me?

Fine. Let's see who's going to cave in first.

A roach! A roach!

Go away! Go away!

Get away!

You're scared of this tiny little roach?

Get it out of my face!

Monster! Monster!

Here it is.

Please get it out of my face!

Go away! Go away!

Why are you doing this to me? Why?

Thanks, Sejin.

Unlike soju,

this tastes delicious.

You two don't drink?

If gossiping about other people is the most fun,

alcohol is the second most fun.

So why wouldn't you drink?

We're taking our time.

Are you happy with the wedding date?

I'm sorry we didn't consult you first.

Of course I'm happy.

Sejin is pregnant,

so why should we dawdle?

And a man and a woman must be

bound by marriage if we want peace of mind.

Thank you for being understanding.

He's my son,

but I must say Taejun sure is a manly man.

He made another baby.

I'm so proud of him.

What did you just say?

He made another baby?

Another?

What?

Oh, I was just saying...

I'm proud of him.

I think it's so great that Taejun and Sejin

are having a baby.

Lots of people have trouble conceiving.

You've had too much to drink. That's enough.

Why waste it?

I'm a rather frugal person.

I hate throwing things away.

On top of being frugal, you seem to have

one more virtue that's just as impressive.

What?

You're very honest.

You don't seem like a person

who hides things from others.

You nailed it.

I'm not the kind of person

who's all crafty and wicked.

I'm not like that at all!

Let's disclose everything to each other.

I'll go first.

You know this isn't my daughter's first marriage.

She got divorced after just six months.

And it was a very messy divorce.

Mom!

Can you

still accept her?

Of course.

Who cares about that these days?

Thank you.

Now it's your turn.

Why are you trying to rush things?

We've only just met.

You're going too far.

No. I have nothing to hide.

Ask me anything you want to know.

No secret lasts forever.

Ask anything.

That's enough.

Don't interrupt when I'm talking to your mother!

I'm sorry.

Here's to a new beginning

for Miss Persistent, Lee Nayeon!

Here's to Lee Nayeon's

successful catering business!

Me, too!

That's not fair.

You can't get away with that. Make it count.

Don't make me say something.

You know I'm not good with words.

We're not asking for a speech.

My arm is hurting.

Just say something.

My daughter Nayeon,

my little puppy Saebyeol,

and the rest of my family,

here's to your health and happiness!

Wait. Nayeon, you say something, too.

It's your turn.

Sure. Why not?

Foolish daughter, foolish mom,

foolish little sister, foolish big sister...

No, no. You were always there for me.

My mom, my little sister, my big sister,

and my darling Saebyeol.

Here's to your health, and I love you all!

Mom, I want to do it, too.

Here's to my mom, who cooked lots of yummy food!

Cheers!

Cheers.

Sejin, you had a long day. Go get some rest.

You had a long day, too. Good night.

Mom, would you like to have some tea with me?

I'm tired. You should go to bed.

You had a long day, too.

Would you like me to draw you a bath?

You shower first.

Is it because I drank expensive wine?

What a nice, sweet feeling...

Like I'm floating in the clouds.

Thanks to my smart son, I have rich in-laws,

and I ate steak with them.

Oh Manjeong's life has totally turned around.

Thanks, Taejun.

As your mom, I did nothing

but make your life difficult.

Do you mean that?

Of course I do.

I'm so happy, I could die.

Then you should repay me.

Leave Seoul.

What are you saying?

You want me to leave Seoul?

Mother, the only thing you can do for me

is go away. Can't you see?

I can't go anywhere.

Hey, do you think I'm a pushover?

That jerk made me happy and now miserable.

But it's nice to hear him call me "mother."

It was a long day, wasn't it?

I think my mom

overheard your mother's phone conversation

in the restroom.

She asked me how you and Nayeon knew each other,

and I said your mom and Nayeon's mom were friends.

I thought you should know.

We're still going wedding dress shopping tomorrow.

Good night.

Don't you dare curse my son!

If you people don't bother Taejun,

we'll have nothing to worry about.

If Nayeon doesn't show up at the wedding

and try to ruin things, we'll be fine!

Hey, I'll give you that money,

so keep Nayeon in line

until my son's wedding.

He's my son,

but I must say Taejun sure is a manly man.

He made another baby.

I'm so proud of him.

What are you doing here?

Is she your daughter?

The girl's father...

How irresponsible could he be

to have a child with you and abandon you?

You want to know who he is?

Perfect timing. Come have breakfast.

Segwang, join us.

I'll eat later.

No need to make them set the table twice.

Come in.

Yes, sir!

Dohui, time for breakfast.

Okay!

Have some fresh mineral water.

Believe it or not, legends say that

drinking one glass will extend your life by a year.

Okay. Then I should drink it.

I must live a long life and look after my parents.

Who'll hang out with my mom and dad if I'm gone?

Why would you be gone?

How can you say that so early in the morning?

I'm just joking around.

To be honest,

even if I go on a business trip for one day,

mom and dad, you just stop talking altogether.

Isn't that true, dad?

How are things with you and Hwigyeong?

Not bad.

Silly...

For you, that means it's going pretty well.

He's not really shallow,

but he doesn't pretend to be very serious.

He's easygoing, but not too relaxed,

a bit snappy, but not exhausting.

He makes me more curious the more I see him.

Invite him over. Let's have dinner.

You need a man's opinion here.

Honey, they only just met.

It's just one dinner.

I've been meaning to invite him to dinner.

Should we invite him tonight?

Segwang, do I have something tonight?

You have a meeting from 4 to 5 p.m.

with the BBS branch managers at headquarters.

After that, you're free.

So it's tonight.

It can't happen tonight.

Preparing dinner for a guest isn't that simple.

Okay! Then let's make it tomorrow.

Dad, did you hear that?

Okay, I'll make time.

How can I do it tomorrow?

Oh, then let's do this.

Tomorrow night, just call over

the caterer for my birthday dinner.

Then you won't have to worry, right?

Saebyeol, your granny will pick you up today.

Because I have work.

Okay.

I'll ask granny to buy me ice cream.

Just one, okay?

Let's go.

Just a second, mom.

I almost forgot this again.

Saebyeol, do you love this hairband that much?

It's the first present that dad ever got me.

Right.

Let's put it on. I'll help you.

Saebyeol, you're so pretty.

Just a second.

Hello?

Yes, I remember. How are you?

The catering service?

Yes.

I asked for it for my daughter's birthday next week,

but I'm having a guest over tomorrow.

It'll just be a nice dinner,

so can you do it tomorrow?

Sure.

I have nothing planned for tomorrow.

I'd like Korean food, please.

And please come over early if you can.

Okay.

Please text me your address,

and I'll call you back with a menu.

Yes. Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

She's so friendly.

Me?

You're right.

A subsidiary company

is like a child to the mother company.

I thought about what I've done to help

revive the subsidiary company in trouble,

but I haven't done much.

Why don't you come up with some ideas

to help revive AP Foods?

How could I?

I doubt I can do anything.

If we do nothing, we can't avoid

selling AP Foods.

Even if you end up failing,

it'll be a valuable experience, so try it.

You have to earn your pay, right?

I'll make an effort.

But don't expect too much.

That's all I ask of you.

You should try calling before you show up.

That wouldn't be fun, would it?

Isn't it more fun to show up out of nowhere?

That's what you think.

This is my workplace.

People are worried and saying that

their new boss is an ignorant loser,

so I have to at least pretend to be serious

in order to be less hated.

You have a point.

I'll get going then.

Oh, these...

They're a gift. A kind of housewarming gift.

What are they?

What's this?

Can't you tell? They're comic books.

I have a feeling you won't work very hard,

so you can read these and pass the time.

You're a great gift giver.

Of course.

You have to tell me the story when you're done.

Bye.

Is this meeting included

in the three-dates-per-week deal

that we agreed on or not?

Well, it was really short,

but I'll count this as a date.

But in return,

you have to leave tomorrow evening open.

Why? Is something happening?

I'll tell you what it is tomorrow.

Ms. Baek Dohui.

I'll reveal the truth you want to find out about me

in due time,

so please don't go after my ex-wife.

It started out as a sweet romantic story,

so why turn it into a third-rate soap opera?

How disappointing.

I'm leaving now.

♪ One tadpole in the stream ♪

♪ Was swimming around ♪

Oh, you're so good.

♪ Swimming around ♪

Who are you?

Did you come to my house?

I met that lady before.

You recognize me?

Let's go inside.

I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance to clean up.

This is how we live.

Everyone lives like this.

Saebyeol, go to your room

- and read a book. / - Okay.

Good girl.

- Have a seat. / - Thank you.

The abalone were fresh, so I brought you some.

No, there's no need for that.

Please take it. It's nothing.

But I...

You can give it to Nayeon when she comes.

It's just that I haven't heard anything about you.

You're a friend of Nayeon's mother?

Yes.

Thank you

for raising Nayeon.

Nayeon and my daughter were very close,

but we lost contact when Nayeon

was sent to the orphanage.

But we ran into each other recently.

I see.

You must've been so happy to see her again.

Of course.

I've always wondered about her.

But how did it happen?

It's sad enough that Nayeon is a single mom,

but I heard that the child's father died.

That's what Nayeon told you?

So it's not true?

If Nayeon said he's dead, then he's dead.

Where are my manners? Let me bring you tea.

Give me a minute.

Well...

May I see Saebyeol?

Sure.

Saebyeol!

It's okay.

If it's not too much trouble, I'll go to her room.

Sure. It's that room.

You can go in.

Thank you.

Do you need something?

No, I'm fine.

Your name is Saebyeol?

Yes.

Is it okay

if I stay with you until your mom comes?

Sure. She'll be here soon,

so wait just a little bit.

What book are you reading?

It's the story of Cinderella.

I see.

Saebyeol, you're a smart girl.

You can read a book all by yourself.

This is what we'll wear

at the reception after the wedding.

Do you like it?

Oh, that's my dad.

What? Your dad?

This man.

This man is really your dad?

Yes, that's my dad.

That's weird.

My dad's photo was right here.

My mom used to look at it every day.

Your dad

and this man look the same?

But he went to America.

He came from America, but he went back there.

But why is my dad there?

Mom, is someone here?

I don't recognize those shoes.

I'm glad you're home.

You have a guest in your room.

A guest? Who?

Go and see for yourself.

She said she was your friend's mother.

My friend's mother?

Oh, dear. You should be more careful.

Do you think I'd hurt her?

Saebyeol, go to your granny's room.

I need to talk to my guest.

But you dropped all the mandarin oranges.

It's okay. I can pick them up.

Hurry up.

Mom, take Saebyeol.

I brought tea for your guest.

A little later. Let me talk to her first.

Okay. Let's go.

What are you doing?

Why did you come to my house?

There was something I wanted to know,

but there's no need for me to ask now.

What do you mean by that?

Do you remember what I told you last time?

That I'd help you find your daughter's dad.

You can thank me.

The dad you killed off...

I'll bring him back to life.

That piece of garbage Kang Taejun

is yours to keep.

Why would she come here?

How dare she show up here?

I need your time. Yours and Taejun's.

Is this a special day?

The day my mom decided to support us completely.

This will happen more often.

You should prepare yourself.

I will use this

and massage you to death,

so consider my dept paid in full.

Can I see you tonight?

Same-day booking? How inconsiderate.

I'm here.

I'm coming in.
