Woo Joo!

Please look at this.

You drew it well.

Welcome.

These are additional photos I took of Ji Eun Soo yesterday.

She didn't appear to go anywhere else.

Is this all?

- Yes. - So this man doesn't have any children?

Ah, he is raising one daughter.

Is that so?

Since you never mentioned any children,

I assumed that he didn't have any.

I left it out because I judged that it wasn't important.

- Shall I look into the child? - No, it's fine.

What does the child matter to Eun Soo's dating this man?

I'll be going then.

If you think about it, Secretary Yoon, you and Eun Soo,

are quite an ill-fated relationship.

You had Eun Soo's dad killed, and

you also killed Eun Soo's child.

And now, miraculously, you're the one

doing the background checks on Eun Soo for me.

Isn't that interesting?

I'm so reassured that you're making this effort for me.

I'm sincerely grateful to you.

Yes, ma'am.

Why did she suddenly ask about the child?

Yes, it's me.

That child is not my biological daughter.

We adopted her.

It was about 10 years ago.

Find out more about this child.

[My Woo Joo]

Woo Joo?

- Seonbae. - Yes?

I'll go to the press pool for Player Kim Se Yeon leaving to Europe.

Okay. What about Reporter Jeong and Reporter Choi?

They left early in the morning to go to the Art Festival at D.O.

- They said they would pick up Woo Joo on the way. - Woo Joo is participating in that Art Festival, too?

Yes. Excuse me.

[Woo Joo, The Strongest ❤]

Is it Woo Joo?

- Yes, Woo Joo? - Dad.

Uncle Hyeon Bin and Aunt So Ri came to get me.

Did they? Oh, you met with Auntie, didn't you?

I'm not going with Auntie.

Then?

I'm going with Teacher instead.

- Woo Joo, without even asking me? - Don't worry.

No, I won't.

Okay.

- He's the king of nagging. - Why? What did Dad say?

He told me not to impose on you.

Of course not. I'm happiest when I'm with you, Woo Joo.

But may we ask who you are?

She's my art tutor.

We are Ji Min's hoobaes. (juniors) We work with him.

Hello, my name is Ji Eun Soo.

But Woo Joo, weren't you supposed to go with your aunt?

W-well... going with her is a bit...

Alright, we'll be off now.

I look so great. Hyeon Bin will fall for me immediately, won't he?

Oh, what? I'm so busy...

Woo Joo already left. - What?

She promised to go with me!

Oh, really.

This is the drawing I won an award for at the last "family love" art contest.

And this is the one I won an award for at the poetry contest.

Writing a poem?

- Wow, you are amazing, Woo Joo. - Please go in first.

Oh, we're here. Let's get off the car, Woo Joo.

Woo Joo? This is the place they're having the art contest?

Yes.

[The 1st Environmental Love Children's Art Festival]

Woo Joo.

What's wrong? Come on, Teacher.

Woo Joo?

[The 1st Environmental Love Children's Art Festival]

To D.O Cosmetic's 1st Environmental Love

Children's Art Festival, we welcome all of you for coming.

Thank you.

Our Chairwoman is here

to give you all a message of thanks and to cheer you on.

Unfortunately...

her previous engagement was extended

so I am here in her place.

The topic of today's art festival is

"The nature that I want to protect."

And now we will begin!

Oh, Chairwoman.

Thank you.

- Woo Joo, we should go. - Huh?

- Hurry. - Before I draw my picture?

Next time. Let's do it next time.

Thank you for coming.

Who are you?

I'm this company's C.E.O.

And what about you? What's your name?

My name is Kang Woo Joo.

Woo Joo. What a pretty name.

Thank you.

Alright, then draw well

and see you again.

Good luck to you.

Woo Joo.

Teacher, are you alright?

Are you still very nauseous?

I'm alright, of course.

Let's go.

Eun Soo? Eun Soo?

Eun Soo?

Eun Soo?

Maybe Teacher is very sick.

She looked like she was having a tough time until we took her home.

I know. Maybe she really is sick?

I shouldn't have asked her to come with me.

Looks like my Woo Joo is very worried about her teacher, huh?

Yes. I'm sad that she's sick.

Dad, we can try contacting Teacher tomorrow morning, can't we?

Yes, of course.

What must we do so that we can call her in the morning?

- Sleep on time. - That's right.

- Good night. - Good night.

Sleep well.

Eun Soo, how are you feeling?

I'm pregnant.

That was why I ran away from you.

Who is it?

The child's father.

Who did you roll around with here, that this happened?

You are trash.

Trash? What?

Do you want to see what real trash is?

Don't come near me. Stop right there.

What? Going to stab me with that?

Do whatever you want to.

What are you doing? Not going to stab me?

Stab me.

Stab me! Stab me!

Eun Soo.

Eun Soo?

Eun Soo.

Hurry and get up. We have to go home now.

I told you.

No matter where you hide

I will find you.

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you do this to me?!

I told you to stay by my side.

I loved you so much.

I trusted you so much!

Let's go, come with me.

Go with me.

Stop...

Stop. Please...

Please...

Eun Soo?

Eun Soo, omo, what's wrong?

Eun Soo? Did you have a dream?

Eun Soo?

Oh, what's wrong? Look at this sweating.

When did you come?

Just now. I was worried you would be like this.

Every year you had such a terrible time, just like this, on the day you sent your daughter away.

You even remember that?

How can I forget? You suffer so much, like you've gone crazy.

You were just saying that you wanted to erase your past and make a fresh start.

Why do you still suffer like this?

Eun Soo, how are you feeling?

Yes, Woo Joo?

Dad, I spoke to Teacher on the phone.

She said she's so sorry, but we can't have a lesson today because she is sick.

It looks like Teacher is very sick.

Teacher? Teacher?

About that...

Are you going to continue to not focus?

Look. Your left elbow is still too far away from your body.

This is what always happens when your mind is not focused, David.

What's wrong?

After winning, which you've wanted so badly, you're going to get cut off at the next tournament?

I'll go get some air.

To go look for that woman again?

The company was in chaos after you ditched the new product event.

Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran barely let it pass because your commercial did improve sales.

But they won't let you get away with it again.

(T/N: his message to her is still unread.)

[Our Porridge Restaurant]

Ms. Eun Soo?

Ms. Eun Soo...

Ms. Eun Soo?

[Make sure to take the medicine] [-Ji Min-]

[Medicine]

Oh, you're awake?

I just wanted to change this and leave.

I'll be going now.

Can't you stay?

It's just...

I don't want to eat alone.

I didn't think you'd come.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

It's nothing compared to how much

you care for my Woo Joo.

But how are you feeling?

I'm a lot better.

That's a relief.

But...

What happened in the lobby yesterday?

I have a trauma.

Trauma?

My ex-husband...

used to beat me.

I'm really the worst, right?

No matter how much I try to forget

every once in a while

I remember the nightmare.

Scars from a knife wound can heal,

but a wounded heart can't heal.

I know that well.

Those nightmarish memories

are so painful.

Go inside first, you're not well.

No, I want to see you leave first.

Oh yeah, Woo Joo was really worried about you.

She seems to like you a lot.

She's usually not so affectionate with others.

On the days she has her art lesson with you

she wakes up first, without me waking her, saying she is excited.

I'm worried that she was frightened by my fainting.

It's okay.

Ji Eun Soo?

Who are...

It's me, Yeon Joon!

The little boy who lived next door to you.

We promised to meet again the day I was adopted.

You don't remember me?

I'm Yeon Joon!

You want to try?

It's fun, right?

You're Yeon Joon?

Yeah, it's me, Yeon Joon.

Noona!

Returning to Korea after so long, what do you want to do most?

There is someone I want to meet.

Is it family?

Umm...

Even more important than that.

So that was Ji Eun Soo?

It hasn't been long since I moved here, so not everything is organized.

Pack your things now.

What?

Why are you living in a place like this?

While I look for a place for you, come stay at my hotel.

I'll get a room for you.

My little rascal has grown a lot.

I'm not a little rascal anymore.

You don't know, right? I'm a really famous pro-golfer.

Really? Wow.

I'm proud of you.

My Yeon Joon.

Don't treat me like a child.

I can't believe it.

That I get to see you again.

I know, right?

But, how did you know I was here?

I told you.

I'd succeed and come find you.

I worked very hard to keep that promise to you.

For me? Why?

Thank you.

For coming into my life again.

Who is he?

[A Channel]

Good morning!

Good morning!

You're here, Seonbae?

What are you looking at?

Well, my eyes were just drawn to that.

Right? Even just looking at it

gives you strength, doesn't it?

Who wants to do Kim Yeon Joon's interview?

Me! Me!

Okay! Then, Reporter Kang will go!

Oh, send me please!

Yes, send Reporter Jeong. She wants to go so much.

No.

How can a reporter blinded with infatuation do a proper interview?

And his agent

requested you, Ji Min.

She requests a high-level performer.

So go.

You're up early.

I've been neglecting my workouts.

Yeah, I've been lazy.

- I got an interview scheduled with A Channel. - Call.

Schedule everything. I will do whatever Se Mi wants.

Wow, you're in a good mood.

Se Mi, I found that person.

- What? - You can't believe it either, can you, Se Mi?

I couldn't sleep a wink all night long, afraid that I might wake up in the morning and realize it was just a dream.

How did you find her?

The heavens help those who help themselves, they say.

I'm sorry for having caused you trouble until now.

From now on, I will never cause you worry again. Whatever you tell me to do,

I will do it all diligently.

Fighting.

Woo Joo, you said you wanted to eat my kimbap.

So I woke up early this morning to make you kimbap.

Try it.

What's wrong? You're not hungry?

Teacher, please don't be sick anymore.

I won't.

Oh right.

I thought you might like this

so I bought a little something on my way here. Open it.

What is it?

What? You don't like it?

No, I love it.

- Can I put it on? - Yes.

It's pretty. Isn't it pretty, Teacher?

It is pretty.

My daughter...

But I only receive from you, so I'm sorry.

It's alright.

But still, you even gave me that drawing last time.

And you gave me tteokboki, kimbap, and now a necklace, too.

Dad said one should always give more than receive.

Then, there is something I want, too.

What is it?

Just wait a little longer, Woo Joo. Let's live together.

Information about that child that you asked for.

What is this medical diagnosis?

She recently received treatment at a hospital.

For what?

Asthma.

Ji Eun Soo's baby has asthma.

Asthma?

Yes. According to the doctor

it appears that this happened because babies have weak immune systems and she is living in prison.

Even Ji Eun Soo couldn't continue to keep a baby with asthma here.

Find out when that child Kang Woo Joo was adopted.

You look terrible. What's wrong?

I'm sorry,

for only coming to see you when I need something.

So something is going on with you again, huh?

Director Han, let me make one last request of you.

What is it?

It's about that child I left with you ten years ago.

That child...

Please erase all records of that child who I left with you ten years ago.

No one must ever find out information about that child. Not anyone, for any reason.

With my passion and efforts, I will stay humble...

Welcome.

You were a reporter?

Yes.

I'm Reporter Kang Ji Min. I'll be interviewing you today.

We will end it here for today.

You must be busy, so thank you for making time for such a long interview.

Is that the end?

Yes.

You must have one more question.

Aren't you curious? Player Kim Yeon Joon's love life.

Well, I'm not here to write about your private life.

I am here to write about Player Kim Yeon Joon's success story.

Not even if that woman is a big factor in my success?

Sure, then. I'll ask you.

That woman yesterday, who is she to you?

She is someone who rescued me from the pit.

And from this point on, the woman I must protect.

Ah, I see.

But can I really write this?

If you want to. I don't mind.

No, I mean, for Ji Eun Soo's sake.

Have you discussed this with her, and received permission from her?

You are quite famous, Mr. Kim Yeon Joon.

So if I write about this, it's only a matter of time before details of Ji Eun Soo's life become public knowledge.

Are you alright with that?

I think it will be good to not talk about this with other news outlets.

The others will not be as considerate as I am.

I'll be going, then.

So why are you being considerate?

I mean, think about it.

Why would you be considerate when others would not?

Didn't you just tell me

that you must protect her?

But you seemed to not know how to protect her.

Goodbye.

A woman who rescued you from a pit? How cheesy.

Oppa.

What are you doing here?

I'm Player Kim Yeon Joon's agent.

So it was you who selected me as the interviewing reporter?

I wanted to meet you, even like this.

I'm sure I told you enough times that there is no longer any reason for us to meet.

Please give me one more chance.

I'm leaving.

Please, I beg you. I will never make a mistake like that again—

Mistake?

You almost killed Woo Joo, and you call that a mistake?

Did you already forget what you did to Woo Joo?

But that really was an accident.

I went out to really end things with that man, but of all times—

All you do is make excuses, until the end.

I know I don't have any good excuses.

But you don't know how much pain I suffered.

It was so bad I couldn't control myself.

Whatever you say, you don't have the right to be Woo Joo's mom.

Do you have a new woman?

What?

I saw you with a woman, coincidentally.

But it's not true, is it?

Why not? I can't be with another woman?

What?

Are you under the delusion that I can't forget you, by any chance?

Don't be like this. Do you think I don't know you?

You're being like this because you are still angry with me.

[Ji Eun Soo]

Yes, Ms. Eun Soo?

I was wondering if you had time this evening?

If you're busy, tomorrow is fine—

No, if you want to see me, then we must meet, Eun Soo.

Huh?

What shall we do?

Let's do whatever you want, Eun Soo.

Yes, I'll meet you there, then.

Bye.

I better go. I have plans.

"Ms. Eun Soo?"

"Let's do whatever you want?"

- Look at that. - There's smoke.

Oh no, there's more.

What's going on?

A big problem. Your house is on fire!

- What? - I thought I saw the child's mother leaving just a while ago.

What about Woo Joo?

We didn't see her. I just saw your wife leaving in some car with a man!

What do we do?

Oh no, you must not!

Woo Joo! Woo Joo!

Woo Joo. Woo Joo.

Woo Joo!

Woo Joo! Woo Joo.

Woo Joo. Woo Joo, are you okay?

I'm not very late, am I?

You're here? I just got here, too.

I was a bit shocked, to be honest.

When you said, "If you want to see me, then we must meet, Ms. Eun Soo."

You said that on purpose, right?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to say it like that. The situation was a bit...

It's alright.

If you're ever in a situation like that again, call me.

I'll... I'll be with you.

You know, this is the first dinner we're having together.

Please order something good. Let me treat you today.

No, I'm so grateful you took Woo Joo to the art festival yesterday.

I should treat you, of course.

Then instead of dinner,

can I treat you to something else?

Something else?

I'm... not very good at this.

I'll teach you.

It's the best thing for relieving stress.

But this is a bit...

You told me that you would do whatever I wanted.

But that was...

Why don't you ride alone? I'll wait for you.

I think it's that way. Please come.

♫ I couldn’t recognize it at first sight ♫

♫ Do I finally understand ♫

♫ the reason of our meeting? ♫

♫ Must be a precious gift ♫

♫ from the heavens to me ♫ Are you okay? Oh no...

♫ I mean you ♫

♫ I don't want my pounding heart ♫

♫ to be found out ♫

♫ So I watch you from a step behind ♫

♫ This day that feels like a gift from heaven ♫

♫ It permeates like a spring light that came quietly ♫

Isn't your stress relieved?

Yes, my stress is relieved, and my legs feel like rubber.

Are you okay?

I experienced something new, thanks to you.

I don't know how long it's been since I laughed.

My ex-husband

used to beat me.

My wife had an affair.

I'm the worst, too, aren't I?

It's not your fault, Ji Min.

Eun Soo, your pain is not your fault, either.

We're already here.

- Please go home safely. - I will.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- Um... - Yes?

Yesterday, that friend you saw in front of my house.

We lived in the same neighborhood when we were young.

He's like a little brother to me.

Just in case you might misunderstand...

Goodbye, then.

Misunderstand? Gosh.

So we meet again here.

Yes, interesting.

You know, athletes have sharp senses.

For example, I'm so attuned to the weather because of my sport

so I can tell today's weather just by smelling the air.

And you know, it's the same when I look at people.

I did not like the way you looked at Eun Soo Noona yesterday.

And I like it even less today.

- I just- - I better just leave for today, it's very late.

Because of a certain someone.

Bye, then.

What's with him? Leaving after he's done saying what he wants?

It's hot, be careful.

How about it? Perfect for a drinking snack, huh?

I was just thinking about a cup of soju with you, Father.

It's my honor.

Having a drink with my son like this is one of the great pleasures of my life.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I can't visit you often.

Don't say such things.

I just think of no news as good news, unlike your mom.

Here, try it.

How is it?

Mmmm. As expected.

Nothing is going on with Mom, is there?

Of course not. She looks down on her great husband as usual.

So she's doing fine.

- Father? - Yes?

What did you love so much about Mom?

I fell for her games.

That's a joke, of course.

Whenever I see your mom, it's so strange,

in a corner of my heart, there's always a spring breeze blowing.

You see, I, as your father...

I would like it if you didn't completely kill your youth as you live life.

I know why you live this way, of course.

But even so, just because you meet someone,

it's not as if you're no longer Woo Joo's father.

Don't completely devote everything to your child.

But this is what I want.

Would this be what Woo Joo wants too?

As much as for your child's life, for your own life, too,

be good to yourself.

You see,

I want my son's heart, even if it's not hot with passion,

I would like it to become warm, at least.

This was [Christmas in August]

the last movie I saw with my dad.

What did you just say?

I found the place from where the child was adopted, but I did not find any records about that child there.

How can there be no records?

I suspect that it's been removed.

No records about this child?

You were surprised to receive my invitation for a meal at my home, weren't you?

A little bit.

It's lonely to eat a feast every day by myself.

So I thought of you, Se Mi.

I was feeling a bit lonely myself.

It seems we understand each other well, don't you think?

Yes.

Isn't it strange?

Se Mi, I feel affection for you because I feel like I see myself in you sometimes.

So, how do you see me?

You seem delicate on the outside, but you are strong on the inside.

It's easier said than done to raise someone else's child.

So I really respect you.

You overpraise me.

Oh, right. Does your child know that you are not her biological mother?

No,

we were planning to tell her when she grew older. And somehow...

You must miss her a lot.

Yes.

She was so pretty and lovable.

Do you have photos of her?

Yes.

Goodness. She really is very lovable.

What's wrong?

This blanket. It seems familiar to me.

Did you buy this for her?

No. It was wrapped around the baby when we adopted her.

She loved it so much, so we never threw it away.

Maybe because it smelled like her mom?

Is that so?

So she's alive?

Ji Eun Soo.

You knew this, too.

Have the car ready immediately.

Hello?

This is Kang Ji Min.

Yes.

By any chance, on your way to Woo Joo's art lesson today,

can you fetch her from school?

Something suddenly came up for Woo Joo's aunt.

And I have a deadline, so I can't go.

I'll go.

Can you do that?

Yes, of course.

I was going to leave just now. Don't worry about anything.

Thank you.

Yes.

Oh, wait.

The movie that you wanted to see last time.

Would you like to watch it with me?

Yes.

Yes.

Woo Joo?

Won't you take that hand off her?

Ki Beom. Your daughter is alive.

[Lie After Lie] [Preview]

Teacher, I like you.

Insolent girl. Trying to become her stepmother?

Are you coming home after meeting that woman?

To your precious Woo Joo, must you give her a new mom?

I like you.

I like you, Ji Min.

This is the first time since I was born that I've met such a warm man like you, Ji Min.

Just once,

a blessing like you, Ji Min...

Could I return to that place?

Only if you are as desperate as that woman is.

Desperate?

Don't those two resemble each other a lot? They say you can't fool blood.

I'm Woo Joo's mom. Please leave now.

I'm planning to reunite with him.

You met with that woman? What right do you have?

Because I love you, Oppa.

Love?

Eun Soo's daughter was alive.

So please don't disturb those two people.

But what to do?

I think you're already too late.

♫ I think that could be me ♫
