Unlike when the scandal first broke out,

JW Group is being very cautious with passive responses.

They also aren't making any statements

on the accusation of Ms. Huh being involved.

Is there any other news?

Although JW Group isn't making a formal statement,

they've confirmed that they'll reconsider the divorce lawsuit against Professor Ma.

Good. It's all good now.

Ji-sung will be all right now.

They'll reconsider the divorce lawsuit, too.

Yes. That's good. Justice has won!

I should just sue her mother-in-law for damaging Ji-sung's reputation.

She and Ji-sung have the worst possible bond.

How could a mother-in-law be out to get her daughter-in-law like that?

And Hyung-suk is just as bad.

How could he sell out his first love for money?

Well, thanks to his confession, Ji-sung is able to survive this mess.

He must've felt so guilty that he did that. I can't forgive him, though.

We should tell Ji-sung to come back home, right?

Why, of course.

Think about how much she would've suffered.

Although she's the oldest,

she has the softest heart compared to In-sung or Hee-sung.

Wait. What are you doing here at this hour?

I wanted to check up on things on Ji-sung.

All you need is to search the Internet and you'll know.

I'm the one who took you to the ER when you collapsed.

That was so unnecessary.

Gosh, I saved your life.

The doctor said you should get a thorough checkup.

Aren't you going to return to the hospital for that?

I know my body better than anyone else.

Since Ji-sung's situation got resolved, I feel like flying again.

I don't need any checkups.

Ji-sung, this is great.

I was actually going to consult with a lawyer with Mom.

I feel so shameful in front of you two.

It's Mom.

Ji-sung, answer it.

I spoke to her earlier and she was so happy.

Later.

I'll call her later when things are calmer. Not now.

What's wrong? She's not picking up?

How come she's still avoiding my calls?

My goodness...

I'm sure she feels embarrassed to you.

Why should she feel that way to her own mom?

When one of the family members is in trouble,

the other ones are supposed to help.

I know this won't make what I did right.

But I still wanted to apologize to Professor Ma.

From today, I'm going to stop all of my activities as a musician,

including the production of my new album, to show how sorry I am.

I'm willing to accept any legal actions.

Again,

I apologize for disappointing everyone.

[Apologizes to Professor Ma... Temporarily Stops All Activities]

What are you going to do now?

Everybody knows that you were behind this.

Ji-sung's family could sue you

and file charges against you with a criminal prosecution.

What criminal prosecution?

I didn't do anything that wrong.

Since Blue Rain was struggling with his new album,

I was simply offering to help.

Will you stop? Just admit what you did wrong.

I can't clean up after your mess anymore.

When did you ever clean up my mess?

Because of you, people are boycotting JW's products right now.

All because of you, JW is about to collapse.

It won't. You think JW would go under over something like this?

If you're not confident to be the president, you can resign at any time.

I'll step up to the plate any day.

I wish I could resign.

Baek Sun-jae! When did you get home?

Are you going to keep on running away from home?

Do you even know what kind of mess we're in right now?

Let's go over there and talk. Don't go up.

Why do you keep on running away? I said, we should talk.

Why aren't you coming home?

Dad.

Please call for an emergency board meeting tomorrow.

What? Emergency board meeting?

Ji-sung, about Blue Rain... Did you really love him?

Yes, when I was in college...

But after we broke up, I forgot about him.

Why did you break up with him?

What does that matter after all these years?

How about now? Did you fall for him again?

Did you really want to work things out with him?

I did want to...

I was so happy to see him again

and I thought I could rekindle our love.

But...

I don't think I truly loved him.

Then what?

Why did you do it?

You're too smart to be doing all that.

I just needed a place to escape.

I thought if I stayed with Mom, I'd continue to live my life

the way other people wanted me to, not the way I wanted to.

I guess I thought Hyung-suk would save me from it.

I think I expected him to be a good husband and a good father to Mi-na.

Ji-sung...

I'm sure Hyung-suk felt bad for me.

And he must've thought I was foolish.

But how could he resort to such a ridiculous method?

Well, she's okay now thanks to his press conference.

You don't need to resign anymore

and JW is taking this very seriously, too.

I'll see what happens at the professors' meeting tomorrow.

Oh, Hee-sung,

I'll go pick Mi-na up tomorrow after school.

Why? I was going to bring her home myself.

No. I'll go pick her up tomorrow at your hospital.

I'll pick her up myself.

Why isn't she coming back home?

Where is she staying right now?

Jung-ie...

Just where are you right now...

You don't know how relieved I am.

Ji-sung survived thanks to Ko Hyung-suk. Here.

I guess she'll divorce Woo-jae for sure now, huh?

If Woo-jae doesn't, Ji-sung might file for a divorce lawsuit.

I feel bad for Woo-jae, though.

Will Ji-sung go back to Mother's place, then?

Not sure.

I think what she really wants

is to keep her distance from Mom.

It all began in an attempt to that.

Keep her distance?

There's this love-hate relationship between

us and Mom that you have no idea about.

The reason I was out to help my sister was because

I understand how she feels completely.

Oh, I see.

Oh, no!

It's my turn to do the breakfast today! I'm late.

Father,

...it's my turn to do the breakfast. Why did you come out?

In-sung...

Yes, Father?

No, it's nothing.

Is something wrong? It looks like you were up all night.

Well, actually...

Jung-ie hasn't been home for two days now.

Huh?

Jung-ie ran away from home?

I don't know how to say this...

I'm so embarrassed.

What happened, Father?

I went to her room the other morning to talk to her

but I found Sun-jae in the room.

I was so mad that I kicked both of them out,

but she never returned home after that.

So she went out with Sun-jae?

Yeah.

She's not picking up her phone, either.

Father, don't worry too much.

As soon as I go to work today, I'll ask Sun-jae where she is.

All right. And don't tell anyone about this.

I made a fuss about your older sister's scandal.

I feel embarrassed toward your father.

And if Jung-geun finds out, he'll go crazy.

Dad, how come you're eating off a plate?

It seems like Seung-geun is always doing the dishes,

and I didn't want him to waste time doing that instead of studying.

But I'm in charge of the dishes today.

Either way, I wanted you to save your time.

Good thinking.

Everyone here is busy. It's good to save time.

Dad, Jung-ie didn't come home last night?

Huh?

Jung-ie?

She went to her friend's place.

Yeah. I told her she could do that.

You never give her permission for a sleep over.

Ji-sung...

Ji-sung, please pick up.

Please, Ji-sung.

Please. Please...

Hello, Mom?

Oh, Ji-sung!

Thank goodness you picked up.

You have a meeting today, don't you?

Yes.

I just spoke to Professor Jang.

The one who helped you become a professor there.

Everyone is on your side. So don't worry about a thing.

Sure.

I'm not worried.

All right. Good.

Don't worry about a thing and let's be happy from now on.

I'll redecorate your room so come home with Mi-na today.

I have to go into the meeting now.

Sure. Should I go pick up Mi-na?

She was at Dr. Kang's house for too long.

No.

I'm going to pick her up myself after school.

Oh, all right. Come home with her later.

I'll call you. I have to leave now.

All right.

How do we believe that composer's words 100%?

Although he says he was bought out,

we can't really trust him to begin with.

That's enough, Professor Park.

If he's lying about this, you think JW would keep silence about it?

I'm very confused, too.

Professor Ma, why didn't you say anything before?

If we had punished you, it would've made us look bad.

Anyway, it seems like you're the victim of this scandal,

we'll void the issue in it itself.

Mr. Dean...

[Letter of Resignation]

I actually prepared to resign from a few days ago.

Professor Ma, why would you do this? You don't have to do that.

Thank you, Professor.

But I already made up my mind to step down.

I should be blamed for what happened.

If I was fooled, it shows that I'm foolish

and if I truly fell for him, that would make me unethical.

Either way, I don't deserve to teach.

I'm sorry for causing everyone here to worry.

Professor Ma.

It's Professor Ma!

Please tell us!

Why did you resign from your job?

Was there pressure from JW Group?

Were you truly in love with Blue Rain?

How do you feel right now?

I'm very sorry,

but I have nothing to say.

Please answer us.

Professor Ma!

Mr. Baek Sun-jae...

Ms. Ma...

Let me have a word with you.

I really have no idea.

But you were with her two days ago.

It's true I went out with her,

but I haven't contacted her in two days.

Fine, then.

Since we can't reach her and she's not coming home,

I should file a missing person's report.

Wait.

Now spill it out.

If I tell you, you'll tell her father, right?

Why, of course. He's so worried about her.

Actually, Jung-ie is too scared to go home.

Fine.

I'll keep my promise, so please tell me where she is.

She's actually hiding in my house.

What?

She's at your place?

But nobody knows she's there.

You think that makes any sense?

Don't create a bigger problem and just tell her to come home.

I'll explain well to Father.

I'll talk to her.

I understand what you two are going through,

so just do as I say. All right?

All right...

What were you talking about with him?

I had something to ask him. I'll explain later.

Mommy!

Mi-na!

You promised to come back in three days. Why didn't you come?

I'm sorry.

It took me too long, didn't it?

Did you miss me very much?

Yeah. Very, very much.

But you had a blast with Ha-young. And me.

That's true.

I had fun with Auntie and Ha-young.

Dr. Kang,

I'm sorry for all the trouble. Thank you very much.

Please don't mention it.

I'm sure you went through so much.

It's good that you're all right now.

Ha-young, you played with Mi-na, right?

Thank you.

It's all right.

I'm just happy that we were able to help you.

Mom was so happy to see Blue Rain doing the press conference.

She was brought to the ER because she fainted

after receiving the divorce papers.

I see.

I've made Mom go through so much.

You're coming home, right?

I'll leave the hospital in a bit.

All right.

See you.

Bye, Ha-young.

Bye. See you around.

Mommy, are we living with Grandma now?

Where do you want to live?

I don't care as long as you're there.

I don't want to live apart from you.

But you said you had fun with Ha-young.

I like Ha-young, but I like you the best.

Let's not separate from each other ever again.

Okay. Pinky promise.

Pinky promise.

Seal.

Mi-na will love this. I should've done this a long time ago.

She always wanted the glow-in-the-dark star stickers.

Yes, Hee-sung?

What? Ji-sung left already?

When are you leaving?

Hurry home. Let's all get together tonight.

How did the professors' meeting go?

Ji-sung didn't say anything,

but I saw on the Internet that she resigned after all.

Why would she do that?

I'm sure she couldn't take it anymore.

She can return to work after taking a short break.

Yeah. I'm sure she feels uncomfortable going to work.

Let's not say anything today.

Let's just make her feel happy tonight.

Okay.

Oh, no!

I left the braised beef on the stove!

I must be losing my mind.

Is that you, Ji-sung?

Yum, what is this yummy smell?

Smells great.

Why are you here so early?

I should be here before Ji-sung and Mi-na get here. Right?

Don't criticize Ji-sung about anything today.

She must've gone through so much.

She can put everything behind her and start over.

Why, of course. All these obstacles in life make a person mature.

Oh, goodness.

Cover it up. Don't stink up the place.

Grandma!

Mi-na is here!

Mi-na! Mi-na!

Mi-na! Mi-na!

My pumpkin pie is here!

Ji-sung, are you all right?

You must've gone through so much.

Dad, I'm sorry to put you through so much.

Oh, no. Not at all. Things happen.

You lost so much weight.

Mom, you did, too.

No. I'm just fine.

Mi-na.

I put up some glow-in-the-dark star stickers!

Wow!

Mi-na, shall we go check them out?

Yeah!

Let's go.

Ji-sung.

I cleaned your room.

You should sleep here from tonight.

I'll clear out your current place for you.

Mom...

Who's here?

People are here to get my things.

Get your things?

Yes.

It's the room at the end of the corner.

Please bring out the furniture and things.

Yes, ma'am.

Why would you take your things?

We're going to stay at my new place from now on.

I'm sorry I put you through so much.

You don't need to worry about me in the future.

What? You're sorry for putting me through so much?

You're my daughter.

Ji-sung.

Just what's happening here?

What's the matter with you?

Is it because you're sorry to me?

Are you sorry you didn't listen to me before?

I'm all right.

I can understand you.

You just have to return to being you again. That's all.

Just what is ‘returning to being me?'

The young professor...

The pretty and quiet lady-like daughter of mine...

The funny and sophisticated mother to Mi-na.

That's what you were.

You need to go back to Professor Ma

who's waiting for a chance to teach at Yale.

You mean, you want me

to go back to being the dutiful good daughter of yours?

What's so bad about being a good daughter?

That's all for your own good.

Please!

Please just erase the good daughter from your memories!

I'm going to quit being the good daughter.

Quit being the good daughter?

Put that down and please leave.

No.

Take the box.

I said, leave the box down!

What's going on here?

Please take Mi-na to the playground.

Why are you raising your voice at her?

All right. So, please just wait outside.

Mi-na, let's go to the playground.

Let's hear how much of a dutiful daughter you were to me.

I'm not here to fight with you. I'm just here to thank you.

Now that the mess is cleared,

Is taking your things a way of saying thank you?

You must be upset to hear this,

but when I moved out and did things on my own

it was the first time I made decisions for myself.

You made decisions for yourself?

You made a complete mess and made me worry so much.

You're saying you made good decisions?

Yes, I was a fool.

I'm just a fool with a fancy degree.

Who cares if I'm a professor?

I couldn't do a thing without your help.

You decided everything for me.

If you knew that, how could you let this happen?

I told you over and over

that I didn't like Ko Hyung-suk!

This all happened because you didn't listen to me.

You should regret not listening to me.

If you had listened to me...

Then,

what would've happened?

I would've gotten back with Woo-jae

and became the rich daughter-in-law again?

Is that so bad?

You thought being a professor and being married to a rich family

...would be that easy?

Just what did I do so wrong to you

that you're treating me this way?

Even a stranger wouldn't treat me this way.

Do you even know how many times I went to your mother-in-law

and got on my knees?

But did I ever blame you for that?

Yes.

You always decided and solved everything for me.

But who asked you to do that?

You did everything you wanted with me

and you're making such a fuss about sacrificing so much for me.

Is throwing your life into a muddy pool

what you want with your life?

Yes.

Even if it's messy and dirty, it'll still be my life.

Why should you protect me from it? Did I ever ask you to do that?

You were already rewarded for your sacrifice.

You weren't sacrificing for us.

You made us a professor, a consultant, and a doctor.

And you shined with being our mother.

And because of that, I couldn't stop in the middle.

You made me who I am.

I couldn't do anything on my own.

I was just your empty puppet.

What?

I made a fuss?

I was rewarded?

You brat!

You ungrateful brat!

How could you say such a thing to me?

I was never happy living the way you coached me.

I only felt sorry to you for making you sacrifice.

Before it's too late, I want to live my life my own way.

Mom, so please just leave me alone!

What's going on here?

Ji-sung, what is it?

Fine.

Who ever stopped you?

Go. Go away.

I'll never call you my daughter again. So, go!

Leave!

[Subtitles Provided By MBC]

I'll see how she raises Mi-na!

You'll be more protective than me!

Do you have to leave the house?

I'm sorry, Dad.

Don't become like your sisters.

I want you to leave the management once and for all.

What happened?

Is Jung-ie still in your house, Sun-jae?

Jung-ie, I'm here!

Let's not separate ever again.

You're not my daughter anymore.

You're my enemy...
