(Episode 68)

Mom. Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

No.

Mom, I'm so scared.

I'm not capable...

of dealing with that woman, Hong Baek Hee.

But I started a fight with her because I felt so upset.

Hello?

It's me.

Why are you calling with a different number?

It's embarrassing to say, but I got my phone taken away.

So I borrowed my sister's phone for a while.

- Are you okay? - Of course.

I'm always okay.

So don't ever worry about me.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm smiling.

I guess it was worth trying so hard to call you.

Every time you smile,

my entire body gets the tingles, and I start feeling really happy.

Your entire body?

The straightforward expression might've come off a little gross.

No, I think I can understand what you mean very well.

Do you like these kind of expressions?

If I knew that,

I would've expressed myself more often this way.

You're quiet again.

Is it because you're smiling again?

Seo Jun, Dad's coming.

Goodnight.

Hey.

How dare you come in this room?

I was wondering if he needed something to drink.

He's not in prison.

Eat what you want, and go to the bathroom whenever you want.

You can roam around freely.

Those guys will follow you around anyway.

I'm so grateful that I might even start crying.

(CEO of Etangs)

Ms. Hong.

Don't get involved. This is my issue.

I'm sorry about what happened to your mother.

If you want to resent me, go ahead.

Why are you doing this?

I really don't deserve to say anything to you.

Get up.

I said, get up.

If this was going to cut it,

I wouldn't have talked to Se Hyun.

Se Hyun's really having a hard time right now.

Does that mean you told him the truth?

Yes.

Did you really admit that you made So Dam become a surrogate mother...

so that you could keep her away...

from Se Hyun?

- No. - What do you mean "no"?

That's far from the truth.

It is the truth.

You thought So Dam was Se Hyun's first love...

You must think of me as a psycho.

A crazy woman who's lost her mind because of her son.

How could you say something so ghastly like that?

How in the world would anyone do something so terrible...

unless they're psychotic?

Se Hyun kept crying and asking me if I really did something like that.

And it felt like my heart was being torn into pieces.

Then how do you think...

my mom would've felt when she found out...

that her daughter became a surrogate so she could pay for her treatment?

Because of what you did...

due to your obsession with your son...

I didn't do it.

Are you saying you made that phone call in the bathroom...

regarding the surrogacy by coincidence?

It may be hard for you to believe,

- but it was really a coincidence. - Ms. Hong.

I know you can't believe me.

But it's the truth.

What would I gain...

from lying at this point?

I'm really telling you the truth.

It was really a coincidence.

Please trust me.

I'm...

I'm not that terrible.

Ask So Dam.

Ask her how much I tried to stop her.

Se Hyun will trust me only if you do.

On top of that,

you used my mom's hospital fee to make me do things.

You may not understand this,

but when it comes to Se Hyun,

I practically lose my mind.

I know I'm being greedy.

I can get rid of everything else,

but I can't get rid of my greed for wanting the best for Se Hyun.

That's why I did what I did.

I'm sorry.

So please...

Please stop swaying Se Hyun.

Se Hyun's even getting counseling...

from a psychiatrist because of me.

What?

He's been living with anxiety and depression his entire life...

because of the pressure I put on him.

He even once tried to commit suicide.

No way.

I...

I'm so scared.

I'm scared that I might open his bedroom door...

and see his bed covered in blood.

I... I never want to see that again.

So Yu, please help me out.

I'm sorry for everything.

I'll forever atone for all the bad things I did to you.

So please... Please talk to Se Hyun...

so that he doesn't get the wrong idea.

It... It really wasn't me.

I'm serious. It wasn't me.

So Yu.

I was so startled when you suddenly got on your knees.

I needed to startle you in order to startle So Yu.

I didn't know Director Hong had a scar like that.

A scar?

You said he tried to commit suicide once.

She's not going to go up to him and ask him...

if he's ever tried to commit suicide.

Then...

Did you believe that story as well?

Why are you home so late?

Did you eat?

If you didn't eat, do you want me to cook porridge...

with the leftover kimchi bean sprout soup?

What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?

Mom.

I told you that I'll do whatever I can for you guys...

once I recover from my illness.

I'm going to start working...

at the side dish store tomorrow, so don't try to stop me.

You heard what the doctor said, right?

I'm no longer a cancer patient.

Why are you just standing there?

Wash yourself and get ready to eat.

Mom.

I thought about meeting you after work,

but I figured you might have to go home early because of So Dam.

That's why I asked if we could meet in the morning.

I see.

I talked to my mom, and she kept denying it.

I see.

It seems like you have the wrong idea,

so how about you meet her and resolve your misunderstanding?

Should I ask her if she's free to meet you for lunch?

No, Se Hyun. Maybe next time.

- So Yu. - Yes?

I don't know why you came to misunderstand her so much.

It's true that my mom's overly obsessive about me,

but she'd never do anything that's unethical.

What's wrong? Does it keep bothering you?

No, it's fine.

Let's check with So Dam once she feels a bit better.

We can ask her if my mom's telling the truth or not.

Do you think...

there will ever be a day when So Dam feels better?

Let's hope so.

I want to go somewhere secluded and live there with So Dam.

A place where no one knows us.

You should...

You should try to hang in there.

You must already be going through enough,

so don't worry about me.

I'll be off now.

It's not like Chae Young's mom died.

Why would she skip work...

when even So Yu came to work?

That's one of the advantages of being a freelancer.

Just cut her some slack at times like this.

You're right.

How do you expect both of them...

to leave So Dam at home and come to work?

This isn't good. It's not like they can take care of her every day.

But they shouldn't leave her all by herself.

What do you mean?

Her mom died while trying to stop her...

from jumping off...

the rooftop of her house.

Call Chae Young and tell her to keep So Dam safe.

People can die in a blink.

Okay.

So Dam at least has Chae Young to take care of her.

Seo Hyung doesn't even have any friends.

I guess this is her chance to grow up a little.

She was always so obsessed about messing with me.

She had it coming.

I took sleeping pills because I wanted to sleep.

Why do you keep making noises?

I'm going to open up a pizza place.

A pizza place? Who gave you permission to do that?

I don't want you caring about what I do from now on.

What?

You made someone else give birth to my daughter...

but pretended like you were pregnant with her.

Just the thought of that makes me want to move out of the house.

Then why are you still here?

Because I don't have enough money to move out.

Why is he making me feel worse?

Gosh.

What do you want?

- You have a guest. - A guest?

Are you mad?

I told you not to let anyone inside.

They entered right when your husband left.

What are you doing here?

I told you she'd still be alive.

What?

Did you come here to check whether I'm dead or alive?

If you die, it'll upset Jin Bok.

What? Are you saying my dad's the pitiful one...

while I'm someone who deserves to die?

Of course, you deserve to die.

How could you do that to a little child?

Your name is still the most searched word on the web.

If you search your name on the web,

relevant words such as "power abuse" and "surrogacy" pop up.

Is she still on top of the list?

She's still number one on the list.

- Get out! Get out! - My goodness.

Who's calling?

Hey, don't pick up.

You should just stay quiet as if you're dead.

What did I do wrong? Why can't I even answer my own phone?

My gosh.

Hello? This is Choi Seo Hyung.

My goodness.

I didn't know you'd answer, but you did.

It's me, Baek Choo Mi from Irvine.

Gosh, don't hang up.

Don't you want to know...

who told the press about the surrogacy?

Hey, Seo Hyung.

Tae Woong just told us...

that you took sleeping pills so you could get some sleep.

Where are you going in this state?

- To get my revenge. - What?

No one in the Choi family lets anyone push them around.

I'm going to take revenge no matter what.

But what if you end up collapsing in the middle of the street?

Hey! Hey!

Tae Bok, hurry up and start the car.

- Hurry. Let's go. - Okay.

Ms. Choi, over here.

Don't call out my name.

Oh, right. Your name is the most searched word on the web.

You're still on top of the list.

Why did you bring those fools along?

"Those fools"? What is wrong with her?

Hey, why are you talking to me with disrespect?

Mi Ri, people are staring.

Mind your own business.

We came to look out for Ms. Choi.

If you're not even in the condition...

to come outside all by yourself,

why did you come all the way here? I could've gone to your place.

I came to do this.

Gosh, that was cold.

Are you crazy?

This is cashmere.

I'm going through a huge deal because of you.

I'm just regretful that I couldn't pour hot coffee on you.

Should I get you a cup of coffee, Ms. Choi?

Hey, give her this.

My goodness.

Gosh, it wasn't me. I didn't report it to the press.

- Don't you dare lie to me. - It really wasn't me.

Then who was it?

You need to pay me for the information first.

- You little... - I really didn't do it.

Then...

who was it?

I can only start talking if you give me money.

How much?

How much do you want?

- My goodness. - Ms. Choi.

What just happened? Hey, Ms. Choi.

- Ms. Choi. - My goodness.

- Seo Hyung. Seo Hyung. - I didn't do anything.

You saw everything. I didn't do anything.

- Hurry. - Ms. Choi, just a second.

My goodness, how many sleeping pills did she take?

She's completely knocked out.

My goodness gracious.

- First, let's... - Is she sleeping right now?

- Hey, hurry. - Just a second.

Do you think you can pick her up?

Why is she so tall?

Secretary Woo, what are you doing?

Why did you take everything out?

I think there's going to be a bloodbath in LX Group.

What? A bloodbath?

I can tell that there's going to be a huge change within the company.

A huge change?

A change in executives?

They're going to separate the Planning Department...

and appoint Hong Se Hyun as the CEO.

They're going to split the company? Who says they can do that?

Ms. Hong always dealt with the reorganization...

of the company to satisfy the major shareholders.

I think she's trying to use her close executives...

to lift Hong Se Hyun to the surface of the water.

Ms. Choi's surrogacy might have gotten revealed because of...

Because of what?

Because she's trying to get rid of every single one...

of Hong Se Hyun's rivals.

And the next target will be...

Me?

Help.

You want to separate the Planning Department?

Why would you want to do that?

In order to explain, I have to start talking about dividends.

Gosh, forget it.

Why do things always change so much?

What's your point?

How much more will I be earning if that happens?

Here's an example of K Group. They also did the same last year.

No, don't show it to me. Just get to the point.

The point is that you want to separate Se Hyun's department...

and appoint him as the CEO.

It doesn't matter who becomes the CEO.

Why would that not matter?

It'll just be one of the many subsidiaries of the head company.

So it doesn't matter who becomes the CEO of that small subsidiary.

It's not like you can send Seo Jun or Yoon Tae to a subsidiary.

And Seo Hyung isn't exactly capable of doing anything right now.

Do whatever you think is right.

Yes, sir.

- How's the thing going? - What thing, sir?

I asked you to appoint So Yu...

to another team so that she won't have to work as Seo Jun's secretary.

Make sure he doesn't find out that me and the chairman are behind this.

You need to make him think like it was your idea.

Okay, ma'am.

What favor?

I'm sure you heard that the members of the Styling Class Team...

will also be developing new products for the FW season...

because we had such great teamwork.

- Yes, I heard. - While I worked with her,

I noticed that Ms. Eun has a great sense of fashion.

And?

If you're okay with it,

I'd like to have her appointed to my team.

To the Design Team?

Ms. Kim just came by...

and made a new offer regarding you.

Regarding me?

Did you hear that the members of the Styling Class Team...

will also be in charge of developing the new products for the FW season?

Yes.

Ms. Kim wishes to work with you.

What do you mean?

You shouldn't have worked so hard. Why did you do such a good job?

What's that supposed to mean?

The Design Team wants you to join their team.

What do you think?

My contract isn't even over yet.

I don't think it's right to move to another team so easily.

What is it?

You must be determined to stay by my side.

No, no.

That's not it. I just meant I should stay until the contract's over.

You should go.

- What? - It'll be better for you...

to do something that's related to your major.

I'll let you go with no strings attached.

Sir.

Instead,

you have to let me spend time with you after work.

Congratulations.

Ye Ji, when you do your backswing, straighten your left hand.

Okay, that's good. Try that 20 more times.

I knew it!

Do you have no conscience?

If I caught you cheating on my brother,

you should at least pretend to be careful.

Lower your voice. People are staring.

If you're so scared of people staring at you,

why would you rub your bodies up against each other like that?

Please watch your language.

What did you just say?

It seems like you're here to ask me for money,

but I don't have any money, so you can talk to my aunt.

My gosh.

How audacious of you.

Move. I need to practice.

(Cheongung Medical)

Don't you think you cornered her too much?

She was audacious enough to tell me to go talk to her aunt.

Her aunt?

She gets money from her aunt who owns a jokbal restaurant.

That ignorant woman was her source of money?

You know her aunt?

Were you trying to do something behind my back?

No, how would I know her?

Anyway, we need to catch them sleeping with each other.

Are you nuts?

We should get it over with before that happens.

I already settled everything,

so you should just enjoy the show and take your share.

What do you mean you settled everything?

Don't tell me that golf coach is also a part of this.

Too much information is dangerous.

So just focus on your share. I'll take care of everything.

She's my sister-in-law.

I may be crazy about money,

but do you really think I'd help you make my sister-in-law go to a motel?

Then what?

I'm not that lowly, you know.

Then stay out of this.

I'm going to tell Yoon Tae.

Then can I tell your brother that you already knew...

about Seo Kyung's affair but kept quiet...

because you were blinded by money?

Hey, how dare you try to threaten me as well?

Go ahead and tell him if you can.

Do you really think he'll get a divorce...

just because his wife cheated on him?

Seo Kyung is the daughter of LX Group's chairman.

She even has an aunt that's loaded with money.

He'll never get a divorce.

I heard you're practically Seo Kyung's bank.

Do you have nothing better to do?

How dare you threaten her with her weakness?

What about her?

How could a married woman cheat on her husband?

I'll be the one to scold and discipline her.

So stay away from Seo Kyung.

If you want me to back off, you have to give me money first.

It's money for your flight ticket.

- My goodness. - Take it and get lost.

Are you kidding me right now?

Why don't you just give me a jokbal and bossam set instead...

and call it even?

You can try whatever you want,

but Yoon Tae will never get a divorce.

He might not get a divorce,

but the two of them will end up hating each other.

Is that your goal?

No woman wants to see their ex-husband living a happy life.

Get to your senses, you brat!

My gosh.

Why are Koreans so obsessed with throwing things?

Why can't you just use your mouth and talk?

It's probably because you people lack talking skills.

That's why you always either slap someone or pour water on them.

And now, I can't believe you even just threw the menu at me.

Where do we keep the needles?

I'm going to sew up your mouth today.

My goodness, stop it.

- Hey, get over here! - My goodness.

Hey!

(Recording)

Did you install the wood-fired oven?

Yes.

That's the most important tool when it comes to making our pizza.

I made these at home.

Here.

You should enjoy the food...

and continue with the interior design.

- They all look delicious. - The pizza is the best part.

- Ta-da. - Let's eat, everyone.

Hello?

Who?

Hey, Chae Young.

What brings you to call me?

Goodness, Eun Byeol.

Let's go see So Dam.

Okay, let's take this.

Goodness.

Gosh, you startled me.

What's going on?

What's wrong with her?

She's like this because she took sleeping pills.

You startled me.

- Hey, lie her down on her bed. - Okay.

My goodness.

I'm sorry.

She didn't talk or eat all day.

She wouldn't even budge.

I figured maybe she might cheer up a little if she saw Eun Byeol.

Where's So Dam?

So Dam, Eun Byeol's here.

You love her so much.

Here.

It's Eun Byeol.

You need to hold her steady.

So Dam, how did things end up like this for you?

You can start working here starting from tomorrow.

Okay.

Yes, let's start over again.

I need to stay alert in order to protect So Dam.

Let's not dig into So Dam's scars by trying to take revenge.

Let's forget about everything and focus on the future.

(50,000 dollars)

She's heading to my mom's office.

Okay, make sure you give So Yu a hard time...

so that she finally realizes how worthless she is.

What brings you here?

I have something to say to you.

What is it?

- What's this? - 50,000 dollars.

What?

I no longer need any money for my mom's treatment,

so it's only right that I give this back to you.

I paid you to fulfill our contract,

so there's no need to give it back. This money is yours.

I would never have wanted this money...

if I didn't need to pay for my mom's treatment.

You daring brat.

You're going to return this to me...

and start hitting things off with Seo Jun?

It seems like Se Hyun trusts you,

so I won't ask him any more questions.

Thank you.

Bye, then.

What's this money?

What contract?

(Gangnam Scandal)

- You must change the subject. - You need to confuse him.

Pretend like you're standing up for her but at the same time...

So Yu?

Now, I finally understand what her real goal is.

Did So Yu tell you everything about herself?

- What? - She's become a liar and a fraud.

So Yu?

Ask her if she got paid by my mom...

to put on an act to stop you from getting engaged.
