(Episode 31)

Go ahead. Bring it on!

How nice.

It's as though I'm back

with who you were 20 years ago.

Now I recognize you, Jang Sejin.

Really?

Do you want to go back to 20 years ago?

Don't try too hard.

There's no need.

I've already gotten over Taejun.

I've let him go.

He's your problem now.

Don't drag me back into it.

You're the one who got yourself involved.

Everything was ruined after my mom visited you,

and she says we can't get married!

I don't know how your mother found out,

but it was bound to happen.

You thought you could hide it forever?

Well, like you,

I believed that some things could last forever.

But I was wrong.

No, I'm different from you.

You think we're similar since we love the same man?

I'm different from you, both inside and out.

Really?

I wish that were true.

No matter how hard you try, you can't win.

Why can't you see that?

How will you win?

I'm very curious.

With the only weapon you have,

Saebyeol.

If I want, maybe full custody of Saebyeol?

I can get it.

You must be out of your mind.

What happened to that smart Jang Sejin

I used to know?

Instead of wasting your time telling me nonsense,

you should go and try to persuade your mom.

Mom!

Go back to the stream, you piece of garbage.

Kang Taejun, go!

I said go! Won't you go?

You're a freeloader, so instead of studying,

you have to make deliveries!

No matter how hard you try,

you're stuck here! Got it?

A loach stuck in the stream!

(Sejin)

Taejun...

Why didn't you open the door?

Why didn't you answer your phone?

Why did you come here?

Your mother will worry again.

You made me come.

Let's talk about this tomorrow.

We're too exhausted to talk right now.

No, I have to talk to you now.

Let's go back to America.

Let's just elope.

I don't need my mom's permission.

I don't need anything. Let's just be together!

Let's go. I'll take you home.

I'm talking to you. Answer me!

Sejin.

Calm down, and let's talk about this tomorrow.

Come on. Let's go.

I can't let you go like this.

I'm not letting you go.

Please do as I say, Taejun.

Okay. I'll think about it.

That's enough.

You're just as bad.

No, you're worse.

You're supposed to be her dad,

so how could you stoop to their level

and let things get out of hand?

You're the worst of all.

You're drunk. Stop.

No, I won't.

Why should I do as you say?

- Stop. / - Let go.

Let go!

Honey!

Sejin... Sejin is everything to me!

So how could you

match up Sejin with such a lowlife?

How could you push for their wedding

when things are this bad?

Taejun didn't know about the child.

Despite knowing Taejun had a girlfriend,

Sejin still chose him.

But that girlfriend was Nayeon!

She should've been gone from our lives for good

20 years ago, so why did you bring her back?

What could I do?

How could I stop what already happened?

You can't win against Sejin.

You won the battle

against your own parents long ago,

so you can't win against your daughter.

I'll wire you the money for your services,

so just text me your account number.

It really is fine.

You don't have to worry about it.

Fine. If that's the case,

promise you won't try to contact me again

or cause trouble because of what happened today.

What on earth did I do wrong?

It was a secret I was supposed to take to my grave.

I can't believe I met her.

And in my own home, of all places.

- Who are you talking to? / - Goodness!

What do you think you're doing?

Why are you so startled?

How could you scare me like that?

I scared you that badly?

Forget it. Did you have dinner?

I did.

But mom, how could you?

You canceled our dinner.

I'm sorry.

It was because I felt really sick.

We can invite him on your birthday.

And I'll cook everything myself.

You're not going to call that caterer?

Oh?

Well, I want to cook

your birthday dinner.

I really wanted to see that caterer.

Why?

Is she someone you know?

She's this one reporter's little sister.

But that reporter really hates me.

I want to see her, but she won't meet me.

- Good night. / - Good night.

Some reporter's little sister?

No, they can't meet. They can't.

You're awake?

How do you feel?

What is that?

Your spring vest.

How long has it been?

What do you mean?

How long have you been with me?

Why would you ask me that out of the blue?

Hwigyeong is 37,

so it's been 37 years.

So time does fly.

We've been together for almost 40 years,

but it feels like just yesterday.

The first time I met you,

and when you had Hwigyeong.

Looking back,

I don't know why I worked so hard.

Life is just life,

so why didn't the two of us try to enjoy it more?

Why would you say that?

I'm enjoying it very much.

I hardly ever saw you because you were so busy,

but now I have you all to myself every day.

And I can act all tough in front of you

now that you're weak.

I should be ashamed of myself.

Why would you say that?

The whole time you were with me,

you had to hear people refer to you

as the mistress who pushed my wife out.

If it weren't for me,

you could've met a nice man and had a normal life.

Why are you talking like this?

Stop it. I don't want to hear it.

Where have you been?

I wanted to clear my head,

so I went out for some fresh air.

You look tired. Go get some rest.

Dad, can you take my side?

If even you turn your back on me,

I'll have nowhere to turn.

I worked so hard to get this far,

so I can't give up now.

Don't worry about anything for now, and go to bed.

Mom.

It's no use.

Break off your engagement.

Let's talk about this tomorrow.

You need to clean the wound

if you want it to heal quickly.

It must be nice to be you.

Everything is so easy for you.

Yes, this way is better.

Rather than clinging to that kind of fire

and slowly burning to death,

it's better to end things here,

no matter how much it hurts.

Who's going to burn to death?

As long as Nayeon and her daughter

are out there in the world,

you can never be truly happy.

They'll follow you wherever you go

and slowly choke you to death.

How can I watch that happen?

I won't!

What about my baby?

What about the baby I'm carrying?

You want to have it after what the father did?

I care more

about my own daughter than that baby!

But I care more about my baby than you.

I care more about the baby than myself!

I won't give either of them up!

Either the baby or Taejun!

Fine. Let's see who wins.

If you want to kill me, go ahead.

If this baby dies, I'll die, too!

Awful girl...

♪ I get tired ♪

♪ As I open the door ♪

No!

No!

What kind of nightmare was that?

Why would a thug of a man

be choking Eunbong?

What if something's happened to her?

Your call is being forwarded to...

Mom, where are you going this early?

Why did you buy so much stuff?

I'm catering a lunchtime birthday party.

Mom, are you going somewhere?

I'm going to see Eunbong.

Oh, here, Boram Apartment, number 1207.

This is the address, right?

Mom?

Oh, no.

Oh, no. She won't pick up.

Wait, what if she got drunk last night

and went to Jungdae's apartment?

Answer your phone. It's ringing.

What is it?

Hi, Nayeon.

Why are you calling so early in the morning?

I went out drinking and stayed out really late.

Where do you think? At the sauna...

What? What?

You pervert!

What did you try to do to me?

That's what I should ask!

You moved out, so why are you in my apartment?

Why were you lying next to me?

Oh, now I remember.

Anyway, I'm moving back in with you.

What?

What did you do to me?

How much did you see? All of me?

Are you on drugs?

What is there to see? What?

So you did see me!

Take responsibility.

Aside from my mom, you're the first woman

I've ever slept in the same room with!

My pants.

Eunbong.

Lee Eunbong!

Is anyone there?

Eunbong!

No one is home?

(Letter of Resignation)

Are you a coward, or just petty?

If you were going to run away this easily,

you shouldn't have started in the first place.

I'm sorry.

Kang Taejun,

what you must focus on right now

is not your pride, but my daughter Sejin.

That's why I decided to resign.

I don't want Sejin to suffer

because of me.

How hard have you fought for Sejin?

If Sejin wants this, I'll accept it then.

- Get out. / - Mr. Park...

I said get out!

Hello.

Meet me at the cafe across the street at lunch.

Okay, I will.

Don't tell Sejin.

And don't come empty-handed.

Bring your conscience and your sense of honor.

A mink coat and mink scarf,

a suit for each season, hanbok for spring and fall,

luxury handbag, and two gold rings.

Did I forget anything?

If I think of something, I'll tell her then.

But why aren't they calling me?

I met the girl's parents, so they should move fast.

Sejin, it's me.

Hello, mother. What is it?

It's just that you haven't called since our lunch.

If you have time, can you come see me?

I have something for you.

Today?

It's okay, I'll come.

Why don't we meet near Taejun's office?

I need to see him.

Sure. I don't care where it is,

as long as we meet.

Sure. I'll see you there.

Oh, goodness.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Oh?

You said you liked cold noodles from Ojangdong.

It's delicious.

Oh, why did you leave without a word that day?

I felt bad about leaving like that,

so I came back today.

Good. I was wondering what happened.

By the way, what do you do?

How do you make a living?

I drive and run errands.

I do lots of stuff.

You must be having a hard time.

Are your parents both alive?

Kind of.

But don't you have a husband?

I have terrible luck with husbands.

When I get married, my husband either dies,

cheats on me, or gets into trouble.

It's better to live alone.

I almost forgot.

I don't even know your name.

Heo Se...

Pal.

It's Heo Sepal.

Heo Sepal?

My goodness.

Your name is similar to my son's name.

Can you lend me some money?

Money?

Something happened, and unless I pay my debt now,

I have to give up an organ.

When you borrowed the money,

you signed an agreement to give up an organ?

Trying to avoid snow, I ended up in an avalanche.

Trying to avoid a lit match, you ended up in a fire.

Can you lend me some money?

If you can't,

I'll have to go and ask other people right now.

How much do you need?

Have you been waiting long?

Sit down. Let's keep this short.

It's hard for me to face you too long.

You can have tea later.

I'm not in the mood to enjoy teatime

sitting across from you.

You understand, right?

Please go ahead.

You do it.

You make Sejin give up.

I don't know how you brainwashed Sejin,

but I can't get through to her.

She's lost her mind.

After all that's happened, she threatened

to kill herself, saying she won't break up with you.

If you have a conscience and a sense of honor,

you let go of Sejin first.

What are you doing?

You think that's going to work on me?

It's all my fault.

Not telling you the truth...

Letting things get out of control like this...

I am entirely to blame.

If you know, stop this and do as I say.

Please give me one more chance.

I want to be forgiven by you

and get a new start.

I'll pay it all back.

The price I must pay

for the mistakes I made...

I'll make all of it up to Sejin and our baby.

Your baby?

How dare you bring up the baby?

You who abandoned

your five-year-old child?

You're right.

I'm a scumbag who abandoned his child.

That's why

I want to protect Sejin and our baby even more.

Please help me do that.

Really?

Fine.

I will protect Sejin's baby.

But if you want to protect the baby,

get out of Sejin's life.

If you don't make Sejin break up with you,

I can't make any promises about Sejin's baby.

You think I'm incapable of going that far?

Okay.

I will do that.

I'll go. I'll go away.

Can you promise me that?

Yes.

But you

have to keep your promise, too.

Don't tell anyone about Sejin's pregnancy,

and keep your mouth shut until the day you die.

What? Sejin already left?

But I'm only half an hour late.

Oh, dear.

Why did that boy have to show up at that time?

It's the 3:00 flight on Sunday.

Sejin...

Don't say anything, and just show up at the airport.

I'd rather

let go of my mom than lose you.

Taejun.

If you want to go, go alone.

I'm not going. Why would I?

Kang Taejun...

I thought about it over and over.

And I'm not doing it.

I don't want to beg.

Your mother looks at me like I'm a bug,

and it's so appalling that it makes me shudder.

I never want to feel

that kind of humiliation again.

So get a hold of yourself.

Being with a piece of garbage like me

will turn you into garbage, too.

Go home.

Please go.

Kang Taejun, you have the wrong idea about me.

I'm so much stronger than you think.

I'll return everything to how it was.

Just watch me.

Hello, this is Jang Sejin.

I have a story that may interest you as a reporter.

Would you like to hear it?

(Baekdo Group chairman's granddaughter pregnant)

What?

What did you just say?

Sejin did what?

Why did Sejin give an interview like that?

Why would she tell the whole world

she's pregnant before she's married?

If your father finds out, he'll be so shocked.

Sejin gave an interview?

Sejin, how could you?

Sejin, what are you doing?

I know you can't stand to see me right now.

I feel the same way about you.

Sejin, must you do this?

Dad, I'm sorry.

I'll be at Taejun's apartment.

If I stay here any longer,

I'm afraid I'll end up hating mom.

Stop right there.

Goodbye.

Jang Sejin!

Don't you take another step.

Don't you dare take another step!

I'm sorry, mom.

Jang Sejin!

Fine! Marry him!

Get rid of

any source of trouble?

I made that choice

to ensure your daughter's happiness.

Watching Taejun play with Saebyeol

makes me waver.

Park Hwigyeong and I

still have something between us.

What's going on between you and your ex-wife?

What could possibly be left between you?

I'm at work.

I'm so busy, I couldn't even eat lunch.

He's lying to me now?

Grandmother?

She came with some young woman, and...

Mom!
