Original subtitles

I'm sorry, Jae Wook.

I really didn't know.

You got married in less than three months after the divorce.

That's when I realized it.

You were someone more inclined to...

protect Na Kyung's child than me and Hyeon Woo.

It wasn't a mistake,

but that's what you really wanted.

I'm sorry, Jae Wook.

I'm sorry.

(Min Ho)

(Min Ho)

Where are you going?

I'm going...

I'm going to...

Is there...

something wrong?

It's nothing.

I hope everything goes well today...

and drive safely.

I'll drive you to the hospital.

Let's just...

end it here.

Jae Wook, the time always...

puts a stop on everything.

But I keep forgetting that...

I can never go back in time.

(Episode 17)

There's a lot on your plate these days.

You have to take care of the new office...

and drive all the way to Yangpyeong to meet your ex-wife.

Yangpyeong is the only place you go...

without your secretary.

What do you want me to do?

What do you want me to do...

when you run to your ex-wife?

Stop it.

You must be sick and tired of me.

You made me like this.

When are you going to draw the line?

I don't know.

What?

I did something wrong,

but I didn't pay for it...

because I got married to you.

If I had time to pay for my sins,

perhaps I would have felt better.

Since I didn't, my time stopped there.

You still can't accept the fact...

that we got married?

I'm saying that I didn't make up for things I should have before.

That's why I went to visit her.

Because I wanted to make it up to her.

What's the point of doing it now?

Are you going to hold her hands and start crying?

Are you going to hug her and console her?

What's next?

What about you?

Did you ever try...

to understand me?

What?

Everything was always in your favor.

It was always about you.

You always talked about the sacrifices you have made...

for this family.

Did you, even for once, ever try to understand what I'm going through?

What am I to you?

You used me to become part of the Cheonji Group.

Do I mean anything other than that?

Do you really think I never try to understand you?

Is that how you've treated me?

Then I guess we will never have a chance now.

Both you and I.

You're just sad about your lost chance for Ji Young.

But you don't feel that way for me.

Is that it?

Okay.

Then let's just live in the fiery pit together.

You will never be able to save me from there,

and I don't want to save you.

So let's just live in the fiery pit together.

I think things have been established now.

Thank you.

I hear people say that you are so good.

- Good work. - Thank you.

Why don't we have a get-together next week?

It's on the director.

Okay. Then tell him that we will eat grade A beef.

I'll tell him you are eating triple A beef.

- I'll see you next week. - I'll see you then.

- See you next week. - Bye.

We need to talk.

I have something to say.

What did Na Kyung say?

About the new show.

Did you not hear anything yet?

Why? Are you uncomfortable around Na Kyung?

I bet you are. I understand.

But you've been through worse than that.

Just become successful to show her.

And win the awards that you didn't get 10 years ago.

I'll be sure to put you on the podium.

What are you doing in here?

I said I have something to say.

Don't you think you should say...

you have something to apologize?

Apologize? Me?

Your apology wouldn't mean anything,

but that's the least you can do.

How dare you speak to me like that.

- Get out. - Come on out!

How dare you yell at her?

Come on out if you don't want to be humiliated in front of people.

What was that? What is she raising her voice for?

How dare you tell me to apologize?

You met my husband behind my back.

Don't you feel bad for your husband?

He sacrificed himself for you...

and raised your son as his own.

Don't say anything about my husband.

Are you ashamed of yourself?

Don't you feel bad about your son?

How would you even face your son?

What did you just do?

Why is this all I can do?

You messed with my life,

but all I can do is slap you in the face.

What?

You lost your child inside you.

Weren't you even sad? Were you just worried...

that there would be a snag in your wedding plan?

Is that why you blamed my mom for that...

and sued her?

You just slapped me in the face for what happened 10 years ago?

- How dare you... - Don't you...

dare hit me.

Don't even touch my hair.

Seo Ji Young.

You've become wiry.

All right. I won't touch you.

I'll think that you just took it out on me with a slap.

But let me ask you one thing.

Is that what your mom said? She said she was framed?

I dropped the charges for old times,

but she's just ungrateful.

You even played with the life of your own child.

And now you're raising Joon Seo?

I'll never give my child to you because you'd mess with him.

I'll take him back.

He's not your child.

All right.

Keep floundering like that.

Live your life in fear.

I will have to see...

how things you've done will get back at you.

Don't you dare touch even one hair of mine.

It's not hard for me to destroy someone like you.

What's yours?

What?

Among the things you have, what is really yours?

You think they are yours just because you have them?

They're not yours.

What you stole...

can never be yours.

You think they are yours...

just because you have them?

They are not yours.

What you stole can never be yours.

Go ahead and sit.

I'm trying to protect my panelist.

What do you mean?

If you drink in a place like this, you'll get caught by the paparazzi.

"Woo Na Kyung experiencing discord with her husband."

Are you from the 19th century?

What's the big deal about eating or drinking alone?

I guess I'm biased.

Is that why I'm still single?

I didn't get to buy you a drink for the past two years.

Have a drink.

Okay. I'll have the same one.

You think I'm funny, right?

I said I'd quit,

but I'm back again.

You worried about me, right?

You thought I'd be writing an apology without you.

I said I'm not faithful to you.

I was going to quit.

But my father-in-law forced me to keep working.

He said it'd benefit the company.

I should be grateful to him anyway.

About Seo Ji Young and me.

How much do you know?

Do I have to know that?

There might be something you need to explain.

You're in charge of the show.

Then tell me one thing I need to explain.

We did go to the same school.

We were rivals.

She wouldn't feel that way though.

I'm the only one who thought that way.

Isn't that pathetic?

So what?

You have everything now.

Are you still jealous of her?

I am.

Because I stole something from her.

What?

Her everything.

I took her everything.

But I'm not happy.

I feel empty all the time.

It's hollow.

Let me tell you a joke.

Just give back what you took from her.

Then what?

Then I'll have nothing.

You will still have Woo Na Kyung.

Why do you keep considering yourself nothing?

You are getting cute with me.

Gosh.

Just pray for me.

[VIU Ver] MBC E17 A Pledge to God "Na Kyung Lashes Out" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Joon Seo.

Joon Seo.

Mom.

Hi, sweetheart.

Did you have a good day?

You reek of alcohol.

I know. I drank.

Were you upset?

You drink to feel better when you are upset.

I knew it.

You're the only one who cares about me.

- Whose side are you on? - I'm on your side.

You just answered it so quickly.

Without hesitation.

I need to comfort you when you're upset.

Joon Seo, you'll be on my side...

no matter what, right?

You will never betray me, right?

Why would I betray you?

You're home.

Mother, you were here.

I drank a little. I'm sorry.

You are a grown woman. You can drink when you need to.

Why would you be sorry?

Okay.

Joon Seo says he wants to go out on a holiday.

You said that?

Where do you want to go?

- Yangpyeong. - Yangpyeong?

What is in Yangpyeong?

The boy I met during the swimming meet.

I heard he lives in Yangpyeong.

What?

You want to meet the boy again?

Yes. I want to swim with him.

Who told you to hang out with a jerk like him?

Why?

He's not a bad boy.

How do you know?

Why are you talking to your son like that?

Joon Seo, you should get ready to sleep. Go brush your teeth.

Okay.

Watch your words. How could you say jerk in front of him?

You know who the boy is.

I'm saying this because I do.

He's not a jerk.

Anyway, I don't want Joon Seo to meet him.

And I won't let them meet.

They will meet again someday anyway.

I just want you to raise Joon Seo well.

It doesn't mean I want you to put distance between them.

What do you mean?

Did I do anything wrong to Joon Seo?

I'm just telling you to raise him well.

Hey.

- I'm home. - You're late.

Go get some rest.

Okay. Good night.

We need to talk.

Did you tell Mother something about Joon Seo?

- About what? - You know what.

Did Mom say something?

It just feels that way.

Did you tell her about Joon Seo or not?

No.

Then did she notice something?

Maybe...

She had a DNA test without telling me?

That's enough.

Do you know how nervous I am?

You've...

done your best for Joon Seo.

Joon Seo is growing up as a happy child...

thanks to you.

I'm grateful about that.

Do you really think so?

Is that...

how you feel?

I'm serious.

Thank you for saying that, Jae Wook.

Joon Seo is my son, right?

You agree, right?

You will protect us...

so no one can...

take him from me, right?

Will you?

You are the one whom Joon Seo loves.

I know.

Joon Seo can't live without me.

I believe you will...

protect Joon Seo and me.

Can I trust you?

Will I be able to take you back?

Can I do that?

Will you...

forgive me?

Are you asleep?

Yes.

How can you answer me when you're asleep?

What is it?

Does Jae Wook talk about him sometimes?

He has a name. It's Hyeon Woo.

I'll change that name.

What are you thinking about?

Is he smart?

I don't know.

If he takes after his mom, he won't be so smart.

It'd be better for him to take after Jae Wook though.

How could you say that about my son?

If your son was smart,

none of this would've happened.

That's the only thing he takes after me.

You must be proud.

Stop talking nonsense and just go to sleep.

Before his brain becomes rusty,

I should take him in and teach him.

Can't you leave it to Jae Wook?

I can't leave anything to him. He has no thought.

My goodness.

Let me hear you breathing while you're asleep.

I told you to breathe.

That's good.

Let's sleep.

Gosh.

(Cheonji Group)

What's your vision?

Can't you see other construction firms struggling?

Are you just going to sit back and watch?

We're trying our best, sir.

I need to see something for me to believe that.

It's been a long time since we talked about the Smart City.

Can't you grant a small wish of this old man?

We have more than 10 percent of holdouts.

How much do you get paid a year?

This is what you are paid for.

It's not for stuffing out your belly.

(Sharing Love Foundation)

I'll grant your wish.

Grandpa's long-cherished wish, Smart City.

Let me take care of it.

The meeting is over.

Okay.

What is so hard...

about taking the land back?

The trial is going favorably for us.

How long do we have to sit back and wait...

because of the holdouts?

We have a long way to go.

It will be settled by next week.

If we win this case, the rest will go smoothly.

If you're here to ask for money, just get out.

I was just wondering when you'll attain your long-cherished desire.

Why do you even care?

It's your long-cherished wish, so I must care.

Are you sure you will win the case?

That's why I'm here.

Just make sure to clean it up.

Don't leave any holes.

I think she's up to something.

What do you mean?

Jae Hee seems quite interested in Smart City.

Isn't that because of Seung Hoon?

- She wants him to be part of it. - What does that novice know?

He just went to an unknown college and did nothing in New York.

I know.

We've been busy cleaning up after him.

I'm not even sure if he graduated.

By the way,

there was a rumor that he got into an Ivy League school.

I thought Jae Hee spread false rumors.

To save her face.

That sounds plausible.

Anyways,

it's easier to deal with Seung Hoon rather than Jae Wook.

Once we take control in Cheonji Construction,

it won't be hard to move Cheonji Group.

So you are the queen, Director Woo Na Kyung.

Why would I be that?

I'm just trying to pocket the insult to stay behind my son.

I asked you for a favor before.

About Seung Hoon.

I didn't forget that I owe you one.

I want you to pay it back now.

Let Seung Hoon take charge...

of the management strategy team of Smart City.

It's a tough road.

- There will be an easier one. - I know there are easier ways.

But no one will appreciate it if he takes the easy way.

You know that. Seung Hoon is good.

I know. That's why I'm worried.

I want him to go up safely.

It's a bumpy road. If he falls in the middle,

he won't be able to get back on track.

Why did you not tell me sooner?

Seung Hoon said he'd open it once he graduates summa cum laude.

But he graduated magna cum laude.

You know this is amazing, right?

He wanted to be more amazing.

(Episode 18 will air shortly.)

Welcome.

The design and concept are good.

Can you describe three more things about it for me?

If you do, I'll buy everything here in all sizes.

I thought you were only rude when breaking up.

But you're rude when shopping too.

We're doing just fine even without you throwing money around.

It's written on your face.

"I'm mad at you."

Sir, I was recently dumped, so I'm not in a great mood.

Do you know what they call fickle people like you...

who say such things in a place of business?

They would call you a nuisance customer.

Yes. This is it!

It's refreshing. I feel like shopping now.

From here to there...

I'd like five sets.

- You expect me to carry this? - Yes.

You should carry it to my car, at least.

That's not too much to ask, is it?

- Over here. - When you hired your employees...

did you have a provision that said they have to carry bags out?

If you didn't, it's a violation of the employment law.

Here.

What are you doing? You're only putting the gifts in?

The owner of the gifts needs to get in too.

Thanks, but I don't wear men's underwear.

You have a father, an older brother,

a younger brother, and two nephews.

Give it to them.

How considerate of you. It doesn't suit you.

I'm sorry.

(Episode 18)

Do you know where my father is?

Here.

He passed away when I was 14.

I spread his ashes here.

My father...

wanted to build a city here that didn't yet exist in the world.

But some old man stole it.

He stole my father's company.

As if that wasn't enough,

he even stole my father's dream.

Who is that person?

I'm going to reclaim...

my father's stolen dream.

I've prepared to do it for 13 years.

Why are you telling me this?

Don't get the wrong idea.

It doesn't mean you're special or anything.

Let's go eat.

I have dinner plans,

- With who? - Do you need to know?

You have someone new already?

We're still in the break-up stage.

Yes, all right.

I'll send you an estimate.

Thank you.

Sir.

Do you remember the person who was opening a restaurant?

Yes, I do.

That person ordered...

20 sets of chairs and tables.

Really?

- When are they opening again? - Beginning of next year.

That won't work out. It'll be too hard.

- What? - It's Hyeon Woo's winter break.

I can't spend the whole time working.

He'll be busy once he's in high school.

I should spend time with my family.

You should go on dates too.

Still, losing this would be such a waste.

Losing time with family is even more of a waste.

Yes, sir.

Finish this up, okay?

I have to go to Hyeon Woo.

Congratulate him for me on getting accepted.

Okay.

- Hyeon Woo. - Yes.

- Are you all ready? - I am.

It's cold, so dress warm.

I can't believe that you're already going to high school.

Now, you just have college left.

I'm just going to get my acceptance certificate, Mom.

The entrance ceremony is a long way off.

I got too ahead of myself, didn't I?

Anyway, congratulations.

Thank you.

Here you go.

- Is everyone ready? - Yes. Let's get going.

Have a nice time.

Do you want to come too?

I don't like the cold wind on my knees.

You three should go out together as a family.

Buy something good to eat, as well.

Come with us, Mother.

Just get going.

- Get going. Go on. - Mom!

- Go on. - See you later.

- Okay. - Bye.

"Song Hyeon Woo."

"The above person has been accepted to 2019's class..."

"Yangpyeong Science High School Architecture Program."

Wow. I should frame this, and hang it on the wall.

Come on. Dad.

Congratulations, Son. I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Are you hungry, Hyeon Woo? Should we go eat something?

What's gotten into you?

You're suggesting we eat outside?

We should eat outside on a day like this.

What do you want to eat, Hyeon Woo?

Jjajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork.

What do you think?

Let's go. Hyeon Woo wants it.

- Oh yeah! - Let's go.

The sweet and sour pork.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- You're Seo Ji Young, right? - Yes.

Hello, I'm enjoying your program.

Thank you.

I happen to be a fan. Could we take a picture together?

I'm not really dressed well.

You look pretty to me.

- I'll take it for you. - Thank you.

Me too. Wait for me.

1, 2...

- Thank you. Enjoy your meal. - You're welcome. Thank you.

- Enjoy your meal. - We will.

I'm a fan too. Can I get a picture?

1, 2, 3.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Can I get your autograph?

Yes.

Mom looks happy.

I think it's good she went back on TV.

1, 2, 3.

- Thank you. - Enjoy your meal.

- Eat up. - Okay.

Hurry and eat lots.

- Thank you so much. - Not a problem.

- Thank you. - We enjoyed the food.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- Please come again. - Okay.

We got free dumplings thanks to you, Ji Young.

That was so awkward for me.

You were great at taking photos.

That was my first time seeing you make a "V" sign.

Did I really do that?

- Right. Just like that. - Like this?

Oh no!

We should take a family photo too.

You all seem very nervous.

- Please smile a bit more. - Okay.

Big smile.

That's good. 1, 2, 3.

Please take one of just me.

Alone? Why?

You need one for high school.

Oh, you need an ID photo.

Sit over here, please.

- Honey, fix Hyeon Woo's hair. - Okay.

One moment.

You're good looking, my son.

Seeing him here like this, he's all grown up.

He sure is.

Hyeon Woo.

Kimchi.

I didn't blink, so my eyes hurt.

I'll go again.

1, 2, 3.

Hey, Oh Se Young.

Come outside.

Come out now. Get over here.

Let go.

- Be quiet. - Hold on.

Hey!

You used my name and ate on my tab again.

Can't you even cover for me as the granddaughter of the restaurant?

Forget it. Pay up 7 dollars...

or come to dishes. It's your choice.

That's very harsh considering our relationship.

Oh! What's going on?

Congratulations you two.

Go on and date.

What are you doing here? Are you following me?

Are you a regular at Hae Ji's place too?

Don't run up a tab there. It'll become a pain for you.

- You know him? - Of course.

He's the cute mascot of our special lecture.

He's still only in junior high.

Junior high?

Little brother, you're here?

You're so cute. Why are you here?

He's so shy.

He's really in junior high?

He's coming to our school next year.

Really?

What's with him?

Hyeon Woo.

Where are you going? Hyeon Woo.

[VIU Ver] MBC E18 A Pledge to God "Hyeon Woo Grows Even More Suspicious" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Hyeon Woo.

- Yes. - Why are you back so early?

Didn't you have class?

It just ended early.

You're practically a student there.

The older students congratulated you, right?

I think this is your cell phone.

Here you go.

(Kim Jae Wook)

Why...

do you...

have this man's contact information?

Do you know him, Grandma?

How do you know him?

How do you know him?

Is that important right now?

I'm more curious about how you know him.

- Hyeon Woo. - Tell me, Grandma.

How do you know him?

Answer my question first.

Is this man...

the person who visited me when I was sick in the hospital?

Is this him?

Why do you keep asking about that?

I told you I don't want to think about that time.

Grandma!

Say hi. He's a friend of mine.

- Hello. - Hello.

Are you going somewhere?

He came in my place.

I asked him, and he agreed right away.

Do you like Gaudi?

He's my favorite architect.

I see.

Could I try hugging you?

Have the two of them ever met?

I believe...

he's just watched Hyeon Woo from afar.

That's not the extent of it.

Hyeon Woo has Jae Wook's number.

He's grown up and is curious about who his father is.

We can't just overlook this.

I can't continue to put his questions off anymore.

Tell him the truth.

It doesn't mean he'll go looking for Jae Wook.

He knows how good Min Ho has been to him.

It's not like he isn't aware.

But, still...

Min Ho will blame himself.

He will think he was lacking.

And that's why Hyeon Woo is looking for his father.

A child will seek out their parents when they grow up.

I'm sure Min Ho knows that.

He isn't a petty person. He has seen all sides to you.

Wouldn't he understand?

It's been a long time, Hyeon Woo.

Hello.

I heard you told your teacher that you were curious about me.

That's why I contacted you.

Should we talk over dinner?

I came to ask you something.

Okay. Go ahead.

Are you...

my dad?

I was sick when I was younger.

A man cried...

when he saw me in the hospital.

I can't remember his face though.

I was always curious.

"Who was that man?"

"Why did he cry when he saw me?"

Hyeon Woo.

Please tell me.

Are you...

my dad?

Yes.

I see.

That's why...

you bought me those meals.

And said we should go see Gaudi together.

Did you want me to be thankful thinking,

"What a kind man."

I wanted to tell you someday.

When?

When I turned 20?

Ten years from now?

Did you think I'd wait until then?

I waited so long for this day,

standing in front of you as your dad and not just some man.

I didn't have the courage...

to explain to you why we parted.

I'm sure you didn't have the courage.

The reason you threw me and my mom away...

is probably nothing to be proud of.

- Hyeon Woo. - If you didn't throw us away,

Mom wouldn't have lived such a sad life.

Yes, I know.

Everything is my fault.

You shouldn't have fooled me.

If you were going to lie, you shouldn't have appeared at all.

I didn't even know I was being fooled.

You shouldn't have made me think you were a good man.

I wanted to appear that way.

Even being some man was fine with me.

I wanted to eat and laugh with you.

That's what I wanted.

So when you felt like it,

"I'm actually your dad."

"Surprise." Is that what you were planning?

Was I supposed to clap and say that it's fun?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that this is all I can say to you.

Now that I know you're my dad,

you're no longer even a good man.

Hyeon Woo.

Can you give me one more chance?

Now that I'm all grown up,

I think your chance has gone by.

You have a son too.

Joon Seo.

Just be good to him.

I'm sure you are.

Don't come looking for me.

Hyeon Woo.

Why did you throw my mom away? Why?

Hyeon Woo.

Hyeon Woo!

I wanted to appear that way.

Even being some man was fine with me.

I wanted to eat and laugh with you.

That's what I wanted.

I wanted to see you too...

Dad.

Hyeon Woo!

Hyeon Woo!

Hyeon Woo!

Hyeon Woo!

Hyeon Woo!
