Taejun, you got home early...

(Episode 76)

What do you think you two are doing?

You're home?

What's going on right now?

Why are you two alone in my room?

Don't misunderstand.

Misunderstand?

Aunt, why don't you explain it to me yourself?

What's going on right now?

I'm the one who wants to know what's going on.

Are you imagining something unimaginable?

Cut the crap and get to the point!

I could hear him groan from outside the room,

so I looked in.

I checked on him, gave him medicine for his fever,

and put a cold towel on his forehead.

No one else was home,

so was it wrong for an aunt to look after him?

Look after him?

Right.

When I opened my eyes,

she was taking care of me.

You're saying that was all?

Let me give you some advice, niece.

Don't take that suspicion of yours lightly.

It's a serious illness that can ruin both you

and the other person.

So before feeling suspicious about something,

take a step back and figure out what's going on.

That's the right thing to do, and it's only polite.

Take care of yourself.

Finally,

we're getting a ton of calls about membership.

At this rate, it won't take long

for us to go national.

I think the honest food

and sincere marketing finally worked.

Please keep up the good work.

Of course.

Mr. Kang of Baekdo

pulled off a big project, too.

He bought a tourism company

and started a Korean Wave culture business abroad.

But since the investment is so big,

rumor has it that if something goes wrong,

Baekdo might be ruined.

Mr. Kang is a tenacious person, so he'll do well.

Of course.

Mr. Kang is a man of determination.

But when is Ms. Baek coming back to work?

I miss her.

I'm not sure.

This was in Dohui's drawer.

Isn't she pretty?

This was in Dohui's drawer.

What do you want to know?

I don't want to be suspicious of Dohui,

but my heart won't listen to me.

I'm not comfortable with her

having a photo of a child

whose mom looked just like her.

On top of that, the girl is dead.

Why didn't you ask Dohui about it yourself?

To be honest, I'm scared.

I couldn't ask because of that.

Even if it's a one in a million chance,

I'm worried that

what I'm thinking might be true.

Then don't suspect her.

I gave this photo to Dohui.

Why?

I overstepped my boundaries.

I was wishing that Dohui

was my sister Nayeon.

So I gave her this photo.

I didn't mean anything by it,

so I'll take the photo back.

What kind of person was your sister Nayeon?

Are you busy?

No, I'm not.

Have a seat.

Have some coffee.

You always crave coffee around this time of day.

You got married, so I thought you wouldn't care,

but you're the best daughter, as always.

By the way, why did you ask me here?

It looks like Jang Sejin is going back to work.

Ms. Park Yugyeong has been

visiting the board members and persuading them.

I think she's aiming for the vice president's seat.

Not director, but vice president?

The bigger problem is that

she's buying all the stocks in the market.

Even if Hwigyeong revives AP Food

and inherits the former chairman's shares,

she's trying to make sure that

he can't become the majority shareholder.

Then she'll need a lot of money.

She must be borrowing

from banks and other places.

That's not a bad thing.

No, that's not enough.

Buy all of Baekdo shares

that come out on the market.

I'll get the money somehow.

If I can't, I'll put my house up as collateral,

so keep buying.

What are you talking about, uncle?

I already checked.

There are a lot of blind spots around our house,

so there's no usable surveillance footage.

One camera was left out.

Your car was one of the cars that drove by

around the time my mom left the house.

Where did you go at that time?

I had an appointment at the beauty salon.

You did?

Hwigyeong,

are you suspicious of Sejin?

Are you interrogating her?

I'm asking because I'm curious.

Why are you all acting this way?

We should calm down and discuss this.

Don't worry too much.

I think we can find mother soon.

Why? Did you find a new lead?

Yes, something good.

What is the lead you found?

Why are you not saying anything?

Sejin, you must be

very worried about your grandmother.

Isn't that obvious?

Can I tell you when I find out more?

What?

That's not how a new bride should talk.

I'm sure Sejin is more worried

about her grandmother than you are, Dohui.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to tell you when I had more information.

What is that new lead?

Why won't you just tell us?

They found a witness.

Is it someone we can trust?

They're not tricking you for money, are they?

The description they gave matched mother.

The day she went missing,

the witness saw her at a park in Gyeonggi-do.

And...

Mother had someone with her.

Someone with her?

According to the witness, it was a young woman.

I'm going to go meet the witness tomorrow.

It's okay.

Give me their phone number.

I'll go meet them.

You?

I want to find Hwigyeong's mom more than anyone.

I know her better than you do,

and I'm closer to her.

(Witness 010-5914-394)

Sejin.

Why are you such a nervous wreck?

What's going on?

What do you mean?

You think I don't know you?

There's a reason why you're this nervous.

Tell me.

Are you...

Are you responsible for grandmother's disappearance?

On top of Uncle Hwigyeong,

now even you're suspicious of me?

Look at me and tell me.

You were worried about grandmother

knowing your secret.

You were worried that

she might leak it. Am I wrong?

No.

I said no! No!

I miss the cheery, honest Jang Sejin.

Seriously...

You miss the cheery, honest Jang Sejin?

Who do you think made me this way?

I'm going to see your mother tomorrow.

Okay. That'll make my mom very happy.

You should go to bed.

How much longer must I wait?

We never got to consummate our marriage,

and we had to rush home after hearing about my mom.

When can I have you in my arms?

I asked for your understanding.

I asked you to give me time.

I don't want to say I'm sorry to you.

You go to bed first.

Did you ever meet Lee Nayeon before she died?

No.

I have no memory of that. Why do you ask?

I've suddenly become very curious about her.

Very curious.

Can I have one, too?

You have a cold. Are you sure?

Yes, I'm much better now.

You must be very worried about your mother.

I think we can find her soon.

We must.

Do you want to hear something funny?

20 years ago,

I met Lee Nayeon.

It was during school vacation.

I came back to Korea and went to visit Sejin,

and I ran into a girl in front of her house.

She had scraped knees,

and she was holding smashed fruit.

I was worried, so I asked her about it,

and she just burst into tears,

asking me why I was lying so kindly.

That night.

It was that night.

I was at the house that night, too,

as the Baekdo Scholarship recipient.

You were?

That's very interesting.

Anyway, ever since,

I was never able to see her again.

I found out later

that she was sent to an orphanage.

For a long time,

I couldn't erase the image of her crying.

But I just thought of her as a girl

who stayed at my sister's house briefly.

But I learned recently

that she was Lee Nayeon.

Are you telling me about your first love?

It wasn't like that.

But this is a very interesting twist of fate.

My nephew-in-law's ex-girlfriend

was the girl from my memories.

If Dohui heard you say this,

she would be very upset.

I wish she would be.

I'm sure of it.

I was taking a stroll in the park,

and I saw this person come with a young woman

and look at the flowers.

Do you remember the face

of the young woman you saw?

I think I'd recognize her if I saw her.

Come in.

Have you seen her before?

Right?

You were the one who came

to look at the flowers with her?

You should wear glasses.

I've seen many people get into trouble

by misidentifying people.

Of course.

But there are cases where people do great things

by identifying the right person.

That's true.

You came a long way,

so I should pay for your transportation.

I take the bus.

All I need is my transit card.

I should go and catch my bus.

Really?

You did great.

Yes. Thank you.

Am I going to be okay?

Why did a witness show up

just before my return to work?

Aren't you worried about your grandmother?

Don't worry.

If she were dead, we would've heard by now.

How can you say that?

If anyone has to be nasty, I will.

Don't go too far.

Jang Sejin!

Can you get this water back into the cup?

Can you?

What?

I'm worried, too. I'm going crazy.

But what can I do?

What's done is done.

I can't turn things back.

Shouldn't you be thanking me?

What are you saying?

You've been keeping that incredible secret,

so you should be thanking me right now.

We'll be punished by God.

When you found out Nayeon was dad's daughter,

you were even meaner and more vicious to her.

You drove Nayeon to her death.

Yes.

If anyone needs to be punished, it's me.

I will take it.

Like mother, like daughter.

I must be just like you.

To be honest, even if it were me,

I would've made the same choice

and done the same terrible things you did.

The reason I asked you here today

is to discuss former director Jang Sejin's

new position at Baekdo.

She was reprimanded

for leaking a recipe,

but I have no doubt about how much

she cares about Baekdo Group.

I think Ms. Jang had the big picture in mind

when she did what she did.

AP Food is doing great right now,

but she probably thought the risk

wasn't entirely gone.

Right. She saw AP Food

as a bomb that could blow up

and take Baekdo down with it.

Mr. Kang Taejun, what do you think?

It's a bit early for her to come back.

I agree that former director Jang Sejin

cares deeply about this company.

But we must consider

how the other employees might feel

about her quick return.

I'm not very comfortable with your objection

toward her return.

I'm worried people might think

you're a husband who sees his wife

as competition.

It's you!

You're not having a hard time?

It's only been a few days, but you look haggard.

I'm not having a hard time. Not at all.

Where is Hwigyeong's mother?

Mother.

What is that secret of Yugyeong's

that you know?

What did you tell my mom

on the day of her accident?

Yunae.

Yunae, how long has it been?

What took you so long?

I missed you so much.

I had so much to tell you.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to help

your daughter get her dad back.

I'm so sorry.

Who is the dad?

I told him.

I told him to go look for his daughter.

But she died.

I wish I had looked for her sooner.

Who is it?

Who is the dad?

Oh?

Dohui, when did you come?

Just now.

I must have acted

silly with you again.

No. No, mother.

But Dohui,

you look so much like Yunae.

Hello.

Welcome.

Can you stay for dinner?

I would love that.

Okay. My husband will be home soon, too.

Go in.

Okay.

Aren't you boiling that too long?

You don't know what you're talking about.

When it comes to kimchi stew,

you must simmer it on medium heat for a long time

to bring out the beautiful kimchi flavor.

Whatever. Please leave.

I need to use the kitchen.

I have to make codfish stew for Ms. Yang.

You like her, don't you?

What are you talking about?

You can fool everyone else,

but you can't fool me.

Are you crazy?

Bong, try this.

What is it?

You said you wanted kimchi stew.

So I made it

just for you.

Here. Try some.

Since you made it just for me,

I will...

What's wrong? Is it bad?

Hurry and take it away.

Take it away! It stinks!

Oh, boy...

What are you doing here?

I keep running into people I don't want to see.

I'm here to see Mr. Park Hwigyeong

and Ms. Baek Dohui.

You have business with them?

Never mind, and go your way.

Would you like me to give that to them?

They might be out for a while, so give that to me.

I'll make sure they get it.

Would you really do that for me?

Get in.

I'll drive you home.

Am I crazy? Why would I get into your car?

I can take the bus,

so please give these rice cakes to them.

Thank you.

What's this?

The chicken restaurant owner brought it.

What?

That woman was here again?

Is she insane?

She asked me to give it to Hwigyeong and his wife.

I don't know what that woman is thinking.

She made me really upset a few days ago

by bringing over side dishes.

I guess she thinks she owes a lot

to Hwigyeong and his wife and wants to repay them.

So just accept it, and don't complain.

Aren't you a nice person?

Don't you know who killed Sejin's baby?

Throw these out.

This is sticky rice, my girl's favorite.

It really is nothing,

but if it's okay with you,

I'll make it for you until the day I die.

And thank you so much.

I really wanted to tell you that.

The chicken restaurant woman brought that again.

Is she trying to make me angry?

Even if she brings them a hundred times,

I'll dump every single one in the trash.

So tell her to keep bringing them.

Did you meet the witness?

I did.

Did you get any information?

If I had,

I would've gotten Hwigyeong's mom back already.

You were wrong.

Her description was close,

but it was a completely different person.

I showed her a photo, and she said no.

She said she made a mistake.

Really?

You stay out of it.

I will search every facility in the country

and find Hwigyeong's mom.

Okay.

Please do that.

Please.

Yugyeong might kill me.

I know a secret that she's really scared

will be revealed.

I told Yunae a secret that Yugyeong

had been hiding all her life.

And Yunae died that night.

What's this?

Why in the world...

Why is my mom with Jang Gyeongwan?

Why...

You're still thinking about

the nonsense Hwigyeong's mom told you?

You heard about me, right?

Keep climbing up. Keep going.

Appointing Sejin as vice president

was premature.

I want to make you

regret thinking that.

Can't you try to look less happy?

Your grandmother is still missing.

Your mother has gotten much better.

You can start building your empire now.

Do it now. Release it now.
