Mom?

That's absurd. Don't be ridiculous.

Hold on. What day is it today?

Is it April Fool's Day?

It's not.

Mom, this sort of joke isn't even on the funny side.

You startled me, you know.

It's not a joke, Chae-woon.

I've been telling you I'm fond of Ms. Kim,

and I was grinning like a fool when she came by.

So you're jealous, aren't you?

Gosh, come here.

My mom, the big baby.

As if Ms. Kim could ever compare to you.

You're being adorable.

Mom…

You must be shocked.

Are you sure this is you as a child?

Yes.

Then

is Bit-chae-woon really Mom's daughter?

Mom.

Did you lose this child then?

How?

This isn't a joke.

It's the truth.

Then…

Are you saying

we didn't meet at the orphanage?

You said someone left me there, and you and Dad took me home.

My gosh.

No…

Why now?

Why are you telling me this now?

Before I applied for a job at LX…

Or…

Or even before that.

Even before I even knew of Ms. Kim,

you could've sought her out. It would've been easy in this day and age.

Okay, fine.

Let's say that you had other fish to fry.

We were busy making ends meet.

But you said you reunited with Ms. Kim at the Yeonhui-dong lady's residence.

Why…

Why didn't you at least tell me back then?

You knew I had been searching for my birth parents.

Weren't you the one who was nice

to those people who claimed to be my birth parents?

Why?

Just why?

I…

I was too afraid, Chae-woon.

Losing you terrified me.

Mom!

I

couldn't give up

being your mother.

It terrified me.

I…

I'm sorry, Mom.

I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.

-I'm sorry. -No…

Don't say that.

I'm the one who should apologize.

But…

It's all right.

I'm sorry.

What about

Ms. Kim?

Does she have no idea that you've been raising me?

How can that be?

Didn't she look for her daughter after losing her?

Why not?

Then

she must've abandoned me, right?

Why?

That's not true.

Why

did she give me up? Why?

Chae-woon,

that's not true. It just isn't.

She didn't abandon you in any way.

Ms. Kim isn't that sort of person.

However, you…

My gosh.

How did I end up losing her?

It's all my fault.

I only have myself to blame.

You must've searched for her.

I know what you're like.

You must've searched

everywhere.

I didn't because she can never be found.

Because…

she's no longer in this world.

My gosh.

She

believes that you're dead.

If she didn't abandon me, then what else?

What else could be her reason?

Chae-woon, that's not the case at all.

No, I'm sure she gave me up.

I guess getting pregnant with me was an accident.

She abandoned me because she couldn't raise me.

Why else

wouldn't you have told me after reuniting with her?

You knew how desperately I'd been searching for my birth parents.

No, Chae-woon. That is hardly the case.

Let me go.

Where are you going?

To Ms. Kim's place.

I should ask why she gave me up.

After abandoning me, she's been sponsoring orphanages and helping those in need.

I'll go ask why she's been acting like some saint.

Let's go.

Chae-woon, no.

Don't go.

Calm down. Please.

Tomorrow or the day after that,

we'll go to see her together.

I can't!

-Chae-woon. -I can't wait!

Chae-woon!

Holding it in

will only make my heart explode.

I can't possibly wait until tomorrow.

We'll hear what she has to say and get a DNA test done.

You must've pictured this happening when you decided to throw this bomb at me.

Come on.

-Let's go! -Chae-woon.

-We're going! -Chae-woon, I'm sorry.

Let's cook one and share.

-We'll end up eating two. -Chae-woon!

Chae-woon.

-What's going on? -Chae-woon?

What is it, Bit-chae-woon?

Chae-woon, wait.

Chae-woon.

You'll catch a cold. At least put on a jacket.

-What is it? What's going on? -Chae-woon, are you going somewhere?

Hae-deun, get Mom a jacket to wear.

-What? -Get her jacket.

Right, of course.

Are you off to settle a score?

Then take me with you.

Man-jung, that's not the case. We have someplace to be.

Where exactly? Tell me.

Hae-deun, what's going on?

I'm just as clueless.

But…

-Soon-jung! -Ms. Lee, let me drive you.

I…

-Ms. Lee. -Ms. Lee?

Chae-woon.

I'll drive you there, Chae-woon.

Wait, Chae-woon…

Where are Soon-jung and Chae-woon going?

I don't know. They wouldn't tell us.

They would need me anyway.

I know.

What's happening?

What is it?

KOALA

The person you have called is unavailable.

Headbutt, why aren't you picking up?

"Headbutt"?

I was going to eat some instant noodles in peace.

What on earth is happening? Where are they going together?

Mom is not answering the phone either.

Mom left her phone at home.

-Really? -Yes.

I think I know what's happening.

-What is it? -This is about creditors.

I'm sure the creditors came again.

You know Soon-jung fell for some bad people

and ended up deep in debt before. So she had a hard time.

My gosh.

Did Ms. Lee go through something like that?

Why would you blab about her personal stories like that?

You and your big mouth.

Uncle Hwak-se, she said we are free from debt now.

Mom and Chae-woon paid it off.

Right. Chae-woon had to work really hard for that.

I know Bit-chae-woon went through a lot.

Creditors are really scary.

Wait, James. What's the matter?

Did you remember something?

No. Not really.

My goodness.

That's PTSD.

Chae-woon.

Yes?

Would you…

like to meet your birth mother?

-Stop being so stressed out. -Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath slowly and stay still.

Okay.

Do you want some water?

No.

It can't be Bit-chae-woon.

No.

Bit-chae-woon.

The baby photo you showed me the other day,

can you send it to me?

It was so lovely that I keep thinking about it.

What am I doing?

-The proof… -My gosh.

You should call Ms. Kim and tell her that we're here.

MS. KIM

MS. KIM

Mom.

You should meet her. That's why we've come all the way here.

It's delicious, isn't it?

Mom!

-Chae-woon. -I got a perfect score!

-Really? -Yes.

My goodness.

That's great, Chae-woon.

I'm so proud of you, my girl.

Wait.

-Let go of me. -Hang on.

-Let go of my hand. -Just wait!

-Chae-woon. Let go… -Come here.

-But… -Come.

Chae-woon.

I'll take a walk around the neighborhood.

Please be careful.

I'm sorry.

It must hurt.

No, it's okay.

You're not even wearing socks.

I'm fine.

My gosh.

They are icy cold.

Hang on.

Put these on.

It's okay. We will take a taxi.

No.

I'm okay because I'm wearing shoes.

Why did you stop me from ringing the doorbell?

You came running here to ask her all the questions.

Why?

I couldn't bring myself…

to face her.

Call Hae-deun.

Everyone must be worried.

Are you sure?

Okay, get back safely.

-What did she say? -What did Chae-woon say?

She said it was nothing and not to wait up for them.

Why did they go out in such a hurry?

Apparently, she had to go to the Yeonhui-dong lady.

That woman calls Mom even when she had a fight with her husband.

-My gosh… -But why did Chae-woon go with her?

Bit-chae-woon is a problem-solver.

She takes care of everything.

Especially when it involves her over there.

You're really silly sometimes.

Na-ro.

Yes?

As I told you the other day, I swear we've met somewhere before.

Where, exactly?

That's what I don't remember. Should I quit drinking?

Do you think you saw him doing something inappropriate

somewhere you shouldn't have been?

Where could that be?

Jae-hui, handsome people hear that all the time.

That they look familiar.

Seriously. I really get that a lot.

Especially from elegant ladies like yourself.

-What? -Who's elegant?

Na-ro. Open your eyes wider.

His eyes are open wide.

Don't flatter me like that.

And I'm not elegant. I'm not.

-Don't deny it. You know you are. -You're pleased.

-Are you pleased? -What do I know? You're funny.

By the way, Mr. Yoo Jae-hui's handsome too.

Sure.

That's very true.

Let's hear the full story when Ms. Lee gets back.

Let's go to our rooms. It's late.

I don't mind. I can wait.

Go upstairs. You have blood pressure issues.

James, you have blood pressure problems?

I'm not sure.

Your blood pressure was slightly high. Isn't that what the doctor said?

Yes.

Let's all go upstairs.

Okay, then.

Everyone, let's go to our rooms.

-Let's go. -Good night. You too, Man-jung.

What's with him?

He's a real playboy.

-Hey, don't listen to him. -What's with him?

-He's bad. -I heard him.

-I heard everything. -Come on.

You have high blood pressure.

What?

What's wrong?

I suddenly heard a voice.

A voice?

"You have high blood pressure."

I remember someone saying that to me.

That would be Mom.

It's a good sign.

When you have amnesia or memory loss,

as scenes from your past in your memories are pieced together,

you get your lost memories back little by little.

The more you know about the human brain, the more mysterious it is.

If that's the case, it's truly great.

Yes, it is.

Let's go upstairs, then.

Okay.

Let's go.

My goodness.

Chae-woon, it's cold. Wear this.

I said I'm fine, Mom. We're almost home.

My dear.

Mom.

Give me some time.

I'll find out what happened, and then…

There's nothing to find out.

Let's go see Ms. Kim tomorrow and…

Mom, first of all…

Ms. Lee.

Mr. Woo.

Why are you out here?

I got worried.

How did things go?

It wasn't serious.

Were you worried? I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I'm so hot.

Why is it so hot tonight?

-I'm fine. -Keep it for me.

I'm really fine.

Let's go inside. It's cold.

Okay.

Let's go.

Mr. Woo. You should go to bed.

I will. Sleep well.

Good night, Mom.

Your jacket…

Wear it for a while. Until you warm up.

Thank you.

Sleep well.

The sky is so clear and blue in the fall.

Yes, it is.

So, Soon-jung.

I recently

divorced my wife.

Now, I am completely free.

Really?

How did that happen?

So…

I would like to rekindle our love that

we gave up on many years ago, Soon-jung.

Well…

How could he do this?

We only just got divorced.

Woo Jung-hoo.

Woo Jung-hoo…

Woo Jung-hoo. My feet won't move.

Woo Jung-hoo! Hey, you! Woo Jung-hoo!

Woo Jung-hoo, you… You…

How dare you…

What was that?

What kind of dream was that?

Jung Min-jae.

Did something happen to Jung-hoo?

No.

No.

Did you hear something?

No!

-No. -Dad.

-James. -No!

James!

What's wrong?

You're sweating.

My gosh.

James, you must've had a terrible dream.

What was it about?

What happened? Did creditors chase you around?

Yes, tell us.

No.

Some woman

was eating some kind of snack.

I think she choked on it.

She coughed like this.

Then…

What?

A woman coughed like this and died?

What does that mean?

MOTHER

At this hour?

Hey, Mom. Is something up?

I woke you up, didn't I?

No, I wasn't asleep. What's up?

Well, it's really nothing, but…

I…

I was wondering if your dad was all right.

Why do you ask?

He just appeared in my dream, you see.

Yours too?

He appeared in yours too?

No.

Anyway, he's fine, so don't worry.

I'm glad to hear that.

He always appears in my dream whenever there's an issue with him.

I was too worried to go back to bed

without checking.

She's unbelievable.

He's fine, so don't worry too much. You should go back to sleep.

I wasn't able to fully take a dump, and now my stomach's rumbling.

Dad!

Why does he keep calling James Dad?

Would you like to meet your birth mother?

It's Ms. Kim Jung-won.

You must've searched for her.

I didn't because she can never be found.

Because…

she's no longer in this world.

Maybe I shouldn't have told her that.

What?

Ms. Lee, good morning.

You're here awfully early today.

Why?

I have some work to do.

-Thank you. I'll walk from here. -Yes, ma'am.

I'll walk with you.

I bet your family badmouthed me after I left yesterday.

Since I came by your house unannounced.

Of course not.

You're going to work early today.

The company executives are getting together.

We have some important matters to discuss.

A CEO of a company may only seem like a pompous authority figure,

but we do quite a lot of work as well.

So she is my birth mother?

Are you not feeling well?

Have you had breakfast?

I doubt Soon-jung allowed you to skip it.

I'm sorry, but I should run along.

Again, I'm sorry.

Ms. Lee?

-Soon-jung. -What now?

Something's up, isn't it?

You caused a fuss yesterday, and you're leaving early.

I already told you that I was busy today.

Head back inside.

You can't fool me. I know something's up.

You've been off ever since Jung-won visited.

Tell me what it is

and stop burdening yourself with everything.

No, there's nothing.

Anyway, I don't want to be late.

Soon-jung!

Goodness.

Something's definitely up.

Soon-jung, Chae-woon, and Jung-won.

There's someone among those three.

-Right? -My gosh!

I felt that too.

I can feel that Samgwang Villa is

surrounded by an ominous air.

-Stop. -Stop? Why?

I remember

Jung-won

had a daughter.

A daughter?

What do you mean, Jung-won "had" a daughter?

She remarried, you see.

She had a daughter with her first husband,

but I think she lost that child.

I wonder if she ever found her.

She lost her daughter? Why? How?

How would I know?

But I'm confused. It might be

about Jung-won or someone else I knew.

What are you doing?

Right. What am I doing?

Isn't it too close?

I guess so.

Shouldn't you back off?

-Back off. -I should.

Why won't you back off?

That was close.

Ms. Kim lost a daughter?

Hold on.

What? No way.

The child she lost is probably older than me.

What if the date on my birth certificate is wrong?

Maybe they registered it after I came to the orphanage.

No wonder. I always thought my mental age was higher than that of my peers.

We look alike.

That's right. I resemble her a lot.

I guess that's true.

Jang Seo-a.

I was really envious of you.

She's my daughter who I love more than anyone else

in this world.

Don't you know that these kinds of actions only hurt my daughter?

Are you all right? Did you get hurt?

-Let me see. -Are you all right?

Is that why you hit it off with my mom like that?

Don't even think about it.

I will never let you have my mom.

Do you need me to do anything?

No. You may go.

Gosh, my neck hurts.

I just can't get used to sleeping on the floor.

It's become my habit, so I can't even change it.

I don't know what it is about, but you should try opening up your heart.

If it grows into a habit, you might get a stiff neck like me.

Look. Clasp your hands behind your back like this.

You should stretch once in a while.

And hold your ankle like this.

You know what this is.

Is this right?

Stretch.

Gosh, this isn't easy.

Like this?

Yes.

It does feel good.

Thank you.

Good news.

Pil-hong's release has been put off.

Cheol-gu picked a fight with him as you said,

so he was sent to solitary.

Let me out!

Get me out of here!

Let me out!

So the biggest fire is put out.

Mom, wait.

Hae-deun, how is Mom doing? Does she seem to not feeling well?

HAE-DEUN

Chae-woon, why did you skip breakfast?

How's Mom?

She left early. She went to Hannam-dong today.

MY MOM

Chae-woon, are you all right?

You didn't have breakfast today.

Mom, where are you now?

Mom.

I have to work. I'm hanging up.

Let's go see Ms. Kim tomorrow and…

MS. KIM JUNG-WON

Ma'am!

What are you doing here?

Hey, Na-ro.

Are you here to see Chae-woon?

No.

I'm here to meet Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim?

Right. You said you two used to be friends.

But it's too bad that she's out of her office now.

-Is she? -Yes.

I think she'll be out all day.

Mom!

-Chae-woon. -Chae-woon.

I just got out and ran into Mother…

-Chae-woon! -I…

Why did you leave so early without eating breakfast this morning?

Are you here to tell Ms. Kim about that?

Yes.

I asked you to wait, Mom.

I need time to get myself sorted out.

You can do that after telling her the truth.

I came here without making an appointment today, but I'll…

How could you be so selfish?

You're doing this

to clear your conscience as soon as you can.

"Fine. Now that things have come this far,

I should just get this over with and send Chae-woon away."

Right.

I'm selfish.

-Did you not know that? -Mom.

Like you said,

I was too busy making ends meet to think about anything else.

But if I set my mind to it,

I would've sent you back to her already.

But it was really hard to do the whole thing on my own.

I was on my own, and I was uneducated.

I didn't have any special skills.

I had to raise you, Ra-hun, and Hae-deun all by myself.

I wasn't sure I could do it.

And Ra-hun was sick all the time.

I had to take him to a doctor every other week.

Without you, I couldn't…

-I couldn't… -Why are you being like this?

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you saying things you don't mean?

If you wanted to sponge off me,

you would've sent me back to my birth mother

and asked her for money already.

Why would you go through all that

to raise us like a fool wasting your precious youth?

I know. I'm so sad that I wasted

my precious youth because of you guys.

So I'm going to use you to give myself a cushy life.

Once we move out of our house, we will end up on the streets.

I want Ra-hun to study more.

And Hae-deun can't pay her own way yet.

So I want to sponge off you.

I want to use you to spend my later years in peace.

Mom!

Go back to work.

Don't you dare meet Ms. Kim.

If you do, I won't see you again

and you won't get anything from me.

Fine.

I shouldn't do it then.

Since I need to sponge off you.

Mom…

Mom.

Mom!

Here is Mr. Woo Jung-hoo's phone.

Take this.

You can sign here.

-Thank you. -Sure.

I'm sorry, Dae-won. My mom suddenly showed up.

I'm heading to the store now.

I'll go to Cheongdam-dong first.

Okay, bye.

KOALA

HEADBUTT

The person you have called is unavailable. You will be directed to voicemail.

She's not even picking up.

I'm really worried.

This is Mom's number.

Hi, Mom.

3H MASSAGE BED

Why are you answering your dad's phone?

What?

I'm with him right now.

He went to the restroom.

What is it?

How come you're meeting your dad?

I said I had a dream about him.

It bothered me, so I called.

Dad's doing just fine.

Shall I put him on when he comes back?

No. If he's fine, that's fine.

Don't tell him that I called and delete the call history, okay?

Your dad will just go, "Jung Min-jae, I knew it."

I don't want to satisfy him.

Okay, bye, Mom.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Jae-hui, did I make you wait?

Hello.

Mr. Woo is staying with you?

He's not sick, is he?

He said he wanted a break.

If there are any important issues related to work, tell me,

and I'll pass it on to my father.

Okay, sure.

Also, don't tell my uncle about this for now.

If he knows, my mother will know, and everyone will just worry.

I'll do that.

What's going on?

What are they doing that they'd leave me out?

-James, what are you doing? -My gosh!

My goodness, what a waste of good food.

What are you doing? We just had lunch.

Why are you…

Well… I just…

I felt hungry again.

Again? After that huge meal?

But I got hungry again.

You're hungry, aren't you?

Thank you, mister.

Let's eat.

-Slow down. Drink some water too. -Okay.

Are your parents not worried?

My mom passed away, and my dad lives in Sokcho.

Well, he's a bit sick.

How did your mother pass away?

While having me.

I know what it's like because I did what you're doing.

Hiding like this can't be easy.

It's not.

What's the worst bit?

Toilet issues. The women's bathroom is downstairs.

I see that.

Should I get you a chamber pot?

What's a chamber pot?

You don't know what a chamber pot is?

A chamber pot is…

You said no one was home.

No one's home. Everyone went out.

I left the windows open. It must be the wind.

Eat slowly.

It's so good.

What are…

Hey, Cha Ba-reun.

What's going on? What are you doing here?

I thought I locked the door.

How did you know I live here?

Did you follow me again?

You're really…

Are you Kim Jun-u?

Hello, Hae-deun. Can you take this order?

Sure. Welcome.

I'd like a meatball sandwich. Please heat it up.

Okay.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

I remember

Jung-won had a daughter.

I'm positive.

I'm the long-lost daughter.

You are

my daughter?

Yes… Mom.

No wonder.

I felt a connection between us when we first met.

Me too.

-Hae-deun… -Mom!

Your house is so nice. Mom, I love you.

I didn't pay yet.

Right. I'm sorry, Mom.

"Mom"?

I apologize.

Pull yourself together, Bit-chae-woon.

This might be a better look.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Lee.

Are you here to check on the store?

Yes.

You're hard at work.

Ms. Lee.

Shall we

play hooky?

Ms. Kim

left with Bit-chae-woon?

DIRECTOR JANG SEO-A

Where did she go?

I'm not sure. She even drove the car herself.

She drove the car herself?

Okay, thanks.

Keep reporting the CEO's whereabouts to me.

The weather's so nice, isn't it?

Where shall we go?

Is there somewhere you want to go?

Is there something…

What?

You seem a bit low.

Do I?

Yesterday, I was

reminded of someone from your past.

And I can't seem to get it off my mind.

Someone from your past?

Yes.

Shall we go see that person?

Have you been well?

It's been a while since I visited.

I'm sorry about that.

Seo-yeon.

THE LATE PARK SEO-YEON

It's my daughter

who I lost a long time ago.

Your daughter…

She's in a better place now.

Seo-yeon,

this young lady right here is…

Ms. Lee.

What's the matter? Are you all right?

I… I'll wait outside for you.

Let me come with you.

No, it's fine.

She thinks I'm dead.

She believes

that I no longer exist.

How?

How can this be?

How? Just how?

How can this be? How?

How could the world be so cruel?

Ms. Lee.

-Are you all right? -Yes.

Sorry about that.

No, I'm the one who should apologize.

It was wrong of me to bring you here without telling you.

You must be taken aback.

I brought you here with me because I couldn't come alone,

but I should've known better.

It's weird.

I wonder why I wanted you to accompany me here.

Gosh, what's wrong with me?

How did you

lose your daughter?

I haven't

told anyone about it yet.

But back then,

someone…

took

my little girl.

Someone stole her from you?

Who?

Was it

my mom?

In the process,

something bad

happened to my daughter.

It's all my fault though.

I failed to protect her.

Anyway, enough about that.

I probably wasted enough of your time.

Let's go now.

She thinks I'm dead.

I no longer existed in this world.

Why though?

Someone…

took my little girl.

Was it my mom?

No, there's no way.

That's not possible.

NA-RO

The person you have called is unavailable.

KOALA

Hey, Bit-chae-woon.

Why didn't you pick up? You had me worried.

Are you there? Hello? Bit-chae-woon?

I'm here.

Hey, can you come help me?

I'm at the site, and I have a problem again. Can you come here quickly?

I'm in desperate need of your help.

If it's hard to find a ride, I'll pick you up.

Where are you? At the office?

-Koala. -Yes?

Could you come to me right now?

Tell me where you are.

Where are you?

Bit-chae-woon.

Don't hold back your tears here like that.

I'm not crying.

You can cry now.

Cry all you want.

Mother, would you like to head to Jae-hui's after you close up today?

-Jae-hui's place? -Yes.

Father? Father!

Jung-hoo? Jung-hoo!

I was worried and called you multiple times.

What had you worried?

Well, I like you, Bit-chae-woon.

Ms. Lee handed in her letter of resignation.

Chae-woon, is it true? Why would you quit your job?

Did you know that Ms. Kim believed I was dead?

Your daughter, Seo-yeon…

She's alive.
