Original subtitles

I could've just walked.

I know you could've,

but the car will be faster.

Then please drop me off at the subway station.

Just sit back and relax.

You're acting as if this is a punishment.

My gosh!

- My gosh, are you all right? - Yes, I'm okay.

I'm sorry. That must've scared you.

No, I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

You look like you're thinking you should've just walked.

Sorry?

Gosh, you read my mind.

- You're really okay, right? - Yes.

Yes.

(Episode 9)

She still runs all the time, and even her life is still the same,

but why doesn't she recognize me?

Right, it'd be funny if she remembered me.

I've run into her only a few times.

Here.

Hello.

It's the money you lent me for the hospital fees.

You could've taken your time to pay me back.

By the way, is she okay? Did the labor go all right?

Pardon me?

Yes.

I'm glad to hear that.

Thank you for everything yesterday.

There's something else you should thank me for.

Just a second, please.

I wasn't trying to show you these.

Here you go.

Isn't she adorable? This is my sister when she was a baby.

My gosh, she was so little.

Now, she's already old enough to get married.

She's seeing someone these days.

She met him only a little while ago,

but she already prioritizes him over our family.

Maybe that's because the age gap between us is quite big.

I'm happy for her, but I'm also sad at the same time.

Well...

Please excuse me for a minute.

- I'll be right back. - Sure.

I must tell him.

I shouldn't think about anything else.

This is the right thing to do.

I'm really sorry to tell you this.

What is it about?

Your sister's name is...

Choi Yi Yoo, right?

Yes, that's right. How do you know her name?

Do you know my sister?

But you didn't say anything yesterday.

My brother-in-law is...

Lawyer Park Jun Seung.

Seriously?

Did you move to the house next to ours a few days ago?

Yes, that's right.

What an amazing coincidence.

I guess that's why I ran into you yesterday in the alleyway.

My gosh, I've been meaning to have a meal with him.

We'll have quite a bit to talk about.

There's a little bit of a problem though.

A problem?

What is it?

Is it something serious?

The pregnant lady you drove to the hospital yesterday...

That woman's...

baby is...

The baby she gave birth to...

is Jun Seung's.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

What do you mean?

- I'm sorry. - A baby?

He has a baby?

Does that mean he was planning to marry that woman?

- No, no. It's not that. - Then what?

He had no idea either.

You'll find it hard to believe, but no one in our family knew...

until that woman showed up at our place.

Do you actually expect me to believe that?

He came by and saw Yi Yoo even yesterday.

Even when we were at the hospital, as if nothing happened...

How could he...

come by our place and her office when that's going on?

Until when was he going to hide it from us?

I'd like to sincerely apologize to your sister.

I have nothing to say.

Let's drop this.

I'll be off first.

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

Extra fees will be charged after the beep.

Yi Yoo, where are you now? Call me when you get this.

DNA test... Please run a DNA test.

Please call Lawyer Park.

It's really his baby.

That jerk.

Chi Woo!

- Chi Woo. - Hey, Joo Chul.

- What were you so engrossed in? - What?

You look unwell.

Are you sick?

No, I'm not. I'm totally fine.

- Are you really okay? - Of course.

By the way, I'm so sorry.

You work so close by, and yet I've never visited you.

Gosh, my little brother looks so dashing!

My, look at this.

You look like an actor.

Let's go. I'll buy you a popsicle.

- A popsicle? - You can see where I work too.

Come on. Let's go.

It's right there.

- Hello. - Did Ms. Choi step out?

She went to one of the stores to check the display, sir.

Really? All right.

Oh, she should be back soon.

Shall I tell her to go to your office when she's back?

No, it's okay. I'll call her again.

Okay.

- She's busy with the coffee man. - I bet she is.

Chi Woo, both the president and the managing director...

are so polite to me.

I thought they'd be authoritative because they own the company,

but they're actually very humble.

I'm so happy that I work here.

Yes, they're nice people.

What? Do you know them personally?

Hey, you should date and do some traveling...

now that you have a great job.

You've been putting everything aside to get a job.

Why tell me to do things that even you never did?

What are you talking about?

I dated Wan Seung.

We dated for seven years before we got married.

Oh, right. He really impressed me back then.

I mean, he loves to eat, you know.

But he starved himself for a week...

and crawled on all fours in the hair salon.

Wasn't that so hilarious?

You're right.

He was so devoted back then.

Maybe that's why he couldn't care less now.

- Are you all right? - What do you mean?

Isn't there something going on?

- Mom told me. - Yes, there is.

Not a single day goes by without problems.

It'd be nice if you could move out.

I wish I had a lot of money...

so that I could get you a place...

and help you quit all your part-time jobs.

That would've been really nice.

Exactly!

I would've loved to rely on you at times like this.

Wait just a little longer.

I'll make sure you can live a comfortable life.

- Seriously? - Of course.

I'll make sure you can stand tall and be all proud and confident.

Stand tall? With my shoulders like this?

- Like this? - Yes.

- Just a second. - Shall I walk like this?

Yes, sir.

Okay, I'll come back right now. No problem.

Chi Woo.

Hurry on inside.

Come by again someday, and I'll buy you a tasty meal.

Stop by Sun Hee's cafe when you have the time.

Sure, I will. I'll get going.

Chi Woo, don't skip meals, okay?

You too!

Mother.

I see you're busy.

What brings you here?

Is there something wrong?

Of course not.

I just wanted to come by for some reason.

Did Lawyer Oh and Grandma's meeting go well?

Yes, your grandmother seemed satisfied.

That's a relief.

She finds it hard to rest when something's hanging over her.

All she has to do now is wait for Gong Joo.

Do you know what day it is today?

- Today? - 34 years ago,

we went to live with your father on this very day.

Do you remember it?

Of course.

You were wearing a pink skirt that day.

A very stiff one, might I add.

I hid behind your skirt...

because Father's house felt foreign.

- It's Jin Yoo! - But then Gong Joo came...

and took my hand.

Come on. Let's play in my room.

I have a lot of fun games!

Thanks to Gong Joo smiling at me,

I was able to relax.

I see.

Right. She took me to her room...

and shared her crayons and candy.

She even let me sit next to her on the swing.

I wouldn't have been able to adapt...

or grow closer to dad so fast,

had it not been for her.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fitted in.

No, that would've never happened.

I wouldn't have let you suffer like that.

I came into this house for you,

so how could I have?

Even for the years to come,

I will not let you suffer.

At home or at the office,

I will not let your position falter in any way.

I won't let it happen on my watch.

Father!

Honey?

I was just passing by.

I was going to surprise you in your office.

Should I head back upstairs then?

I need to pick Gi Ppeum up anyway.

I was just about to leave.

Let's go then. I'll walk you out.

You'll only make your employees uncomfortable.

I'll see myself out, so please get back to work.

Sure thing, ma'am. I will.

Will you be late tonight?

Mother called me just now.

She wants us to gather for dinner today.

She wants to eat out in her leg condition?

I guess she has something to say for she wanted to eat out tonight.

That's great with me. I won't have to cook.

Let's go. Can I at least walk you to the elevator?

Come on.

You didn't have to walk me out. Head back inside.

Still, I must see you go.

Hold on. It's you.

Hello.

I can't believe we met here.

Say hello. She's the daughter-in-law next door.

Introducing her as Lawyer Park's sister-in-law will be faster.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

What brings you by the company?

Well, I work somewhere close by.

I'll get going then.

I see.

- You should go then. - Sure.

Good day, ma'am.

Come in.

Father, Mom just left.

Back in the day, she used to come by...

and ask me out for tea and lunch.

She hasn't been so lately though.

She's been busy raising Gi Ppeum,

so I feel bad for making her sacrifice her time.

She's even more passionate than when she raised you.

Right.

Didn't you come by my office to say something though?

That's right.

It's a photo of Gong Joo's mom.

I see.

Why didn't you...

Did you put it back in because of Mom?

I felt too sorry.

She's been great to both me and your grandmother,

so I feel bad for doing this.

Please don't say that.

Mom wants to find Gong Joo just as much.

You know that.

Of course I do.

That's why I feel terrible.

Jin Yoo!

There you are! Why couldn't I get a hold of you?

Did you call me?

I was in a meeting at one of our branches.

I was too busy to answer.

What did you need?

Why did you call me so much?

- Follow me. - What?

Are you saying...

that the pregnant woman we had in the car...

gave birth to Lawyer Park's baby?

Is that it?

We met Lawyer Park on the way back from the hospital.

He didn't seem faltered at all.

You saw him.

He knew everything by the time we met.

No way.

I was with him just now!

How can he seem so at ease...

when some woman just had his baby?

Jin Yoo, I think you've got the wrong idea.

No, I'm certain.

I'm certain, Yi Yoo.

I heard it from someone in his family.

My goodness. Look at all this sweat.

What kind of nightmare could bring this on?

Thank you for being here.

I was so worried about you that...

I couldn't roll any curls today.

Even though you end up beaten to a pulp,

you should tell your family.

I can't.

Nonsense.

Why did you get into the mess when you didn't have any guts?

I'm speaking from experience when I say that...

parents and family are all you're left with.

They may want to kill you, but they're the only ones...

who will fight by your side.

You'll feel better if you tell them...

and that'll help you recover faster.

Also, it'll take more than a 1 or 2 people to knock...

some sense into Lawyer Park.

Your parents, siblings, and your neighbors...

will you give you that much strength.

It's time to breastfeed.

Yes, of course.

I'll get going.

Wear this. You must stay warm.

Here.

I'll get going then.

She seems fragile on the outside,

but she's determined on the inside.

If Lawyer Park makes the wrong move,

there will be a price to pay.

She's just like a peach. That's what she's like.

I should help her.

I'm the baby's grandmother, so why can't I see him?

I already told you to contact the mother and...

I said there's no need for that.

I've discussed it with the mother, so bring me the baby.

The baby must leave with its mother.

Are you people deaf or something?

Move over.

You can't do this, ma'am.

What do you mean I can't?

Why can't I take my own grandson?

Unbelievable.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you looking for my son?

Where are you going to take him?

That's none of your business. I'll raise him better than you will,

so don't worry.

His mom is here. I can take him now, right?

No.

Please don't let anyone take my son.

How could you do this?

How could you even think to take my son away from me?

You're doing calculations in your head sitting on your hospital bed.

How else am I supposed to treat you?

I get that many young people are jobless these days,

but how dare you try to earn money like this?

Whose baby will you have next time?

Whose life are you going to ruin next time?

Look. I wasn't going to say anything,

but I can't bear to keep listening to this, so I must say something.

Stranger, this is none of your business, so stay out of it.

I'm not a stranger. We're in-laws,

but you probably didn't recognize me.

We're what?

In-laws, my foot. Just stay out of this, okay?

Can't you gauge the situation?

I can't bear to keep listening because I understand the situation.

What did you just say?

You can't do this to her no matter how angry you are.

Regardless of how it happened, she gave birth to your grandson.

How could you try to take a newborn away from his mother?

Who says he's my grandson?

You called him your grandson a few minutes ago.

I don't have time to argue with you.

Move out of my way, will you?

Even animals recognize their cubs.

No matter how upset you are,

you can't do this to a woman who was in labor all day long...

and tolerated all the pain to give birth to your grandson.

You should thank her...

and hold the baby in your arms first.

Listen, it's not like she's my daughter-in-law.

She gave birth to your grandson.

How could you say that?

I know that this world is a strange place,

but you definitely shouldn't treat someone like this.

Do you agree with me or not? Am I wrong?

Why are you just standing there?

Go in and bring the baby.

Bring him out this instant!

Mother, please don't do this.

Hey. Hey, don't act all pitiful. I know your game.

You completely ruined my family.

How much money are you going to ask for, using the baby?

Answer me!

What on earth are you doing now?

My gosh! Bu Han.

- Go home this instant. - Don't get the wrong idea.

- I said, go home. - What's your problem?

Hello, Mr. Park.

That should've taught her a lesson, right?

It's better for her to figure out a way to raise him alone...

than having him taken away by me.

By the way, what's with that old man?

He keeps showing up everywhere.

Oh, there you are.

I apologize. I didn't mean to trouble you like that.

My gosh, not at all. Please don't say that.

I don't even know what to say.

I'm ashamed.

Gosh, please don't be.

All sorts of unexpected things can happen, you know.

My family is a mess too.

Please don't worry about it.

Anyway, this is the first time I'm seeing you...

after Chi Woo's wedding. This is unfortunate.

I should really be a better person, shouldn't I?

My gosh, what are you talking about?

Had Chi Woo had 2 or 3 kids,

we would've met often to celebrate the kids' birthdays and so on.

I don't know what to say because I feel bad.

I see.

This is so pretty.

What are you thinking? Why can't you even hear me?

What?

You keep washing the same cup.

It's just strange.

That was me,

but where was that place?

What place?

I remember myself wearing a pearl necklace at someone's place,

but I have no idea whose place that was.

My goodness. You were wearing a pearl necklace...

when I had a toy necklace around my neck?

Hey, that must be a memory from your past.

Oh, my goodness. You must be from a rich family.

I'm not sure if it's a memory or just my imagination.

Chi Woo, what if you grew up like a princess,

wearing fancy dresses and pearl necklaces all the time?

Like a princess?

Or what if your parents own a large conglomerate?

Gosh, I shouldn't have told you. Stop talking nonsense, will you?

Yes, Mom.

Mother came by?

Father too?

Yes, you should go to the hospital soon.

Your father-in-law is standing in the hallway alone now.

You don't need to thank me.

Just make sure you don't skip meals.

From what I saw today, I think you need...

to eat a lot to put up with your mother-in-law.

Yes, okay. Talk to you later.

- Have you lost some weight? - Cut it out.

I told you not to lose any weight.

Where are you going? What's going on?

What are you doing? Come here.

- What? - Go. Leave.

You want me to leave?

Come here.

I told you to watch the salon, and you sneaked out already?

Gosh, let go. Let go of me, and we can talk.

Was it you? Are you the jerk that took my 1,000 dollars?

Pardon me? I'm not following, ma'am.

How dare you act like you know nothing? It must be you.

- Mom, why are you being like this? - She's your mother?

An elementary school alumnus who's good-looking.

You sure fit the description.

- How could you lie to my face? - Run!

- Run! Hurry! - Let go, will you?

- Let go. - I can't. I can't leave you here!

I'm fine. At least your life should be spared.

- Let go of me. - Leave! I told you to run. Go!

- Goodness gracious. - Go!

Hey, stop right there!

You jerk! You'd better stop right there!

- Mom, look. That's Joo Chul. - What?

- Really? - He's bleeding!

Hey, you wench!

Stop right there!

Hey!

I'm not a player.

I've never held a woman's hands properly.

- Gosh. - Just five minutes.

Let's gaze at each other for just five minutes.

Four times to go.

Four more dates and I can propose.

This is how it feels...

to hold someone's hand in mine.

It's nice.

- Ms. Yeon. - Yes?

Something's come up. I have to leave early today.

You have to leave early? All of a sudden?

I should be bragging about my son's wedding to everyone...

and keeping myself busy with the wedding preparation now.

What is this ridiculous mess?

Gosh, poor me. I pity myself.

Aren't we getting off, Grandma?

What? Oh, yes. We should get off, of course.

Let's get off.

Let's go.

My gosh.

Hello.

- Hello. - I guess you had to go somewhere.

I had to pick up my granddaughter.

I see.

I heard that grandparents are...

more passionate about educating kids than their parents are these days.

I've read a number of newspaper articles about it.

Hello.

Yes, hi.

You were wearing your taekwondo uniform last time too.

- You must love taekwondo. - Yes.

Grandma, take me to the taekwondo studio quickly.

Okay. We can leave after you drop your bag off and wash your hands.

- We should head in. - Oh, wait.

I saw Yi Yoo earlier.

- Pardon me? - She came by Jun Seung's office...

and had lunch with him.

Oh, did she?

They were like two kids playing together...

or like a newly-wed couple.

They both looked so adorable. I couldn't take my eyes off them.

I see.

I've already mentioned this to Yi Yoo,

but now that we're neighbors,

how about our families get together...

for a meal because we need to congratulate the two anyway?

A meal?

I'll talk to my husband about it.

Then I'll wait to hear from you.

Let's go in.

Bye!

Those two must get married.

I will make it happen.

Father.

You should go in. Why are you standing here?

I've been racking my brain, but I can't come up with a solution.

He's all grown up now, so I can't scold and lecture him.

But at the same time, I can't let him do whatever he wants to do.

Well, Father.

About Jun Seung...

I told the family of the lady he's seeing.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you a heads-up.

No, it's okay.

You did what I should've done.

It must've been hard. Thank you for doing that.

I'm going to tell Mother as well.

I think she should hear it from me...

before that family contacts us.

You told me, so it's all good.

I'll take care of it.

You can pay for the hospital fees...

and buy whatever the baby and the mom need with this.

You should give it to her yourself.

Does she have anywhere to go with her baby?

Well...

She left her old apartment,

so she has nowhere to go.

Once she's discharged,

bring her home.

Home?

How can we let her be alone?

We'll have to take her in.
