Ms. Jo.

This engagement is off.

What?

You're breaking it off?

Mr. Lee.

Regardless of the reason,

I'm the one breaking it off,

so you'll be compensated through my lawyer.

Why are you doing this to me?

What did I do wrong to deserve this?

In fact, it's you who wronged me.

You set your fiancée aside

and took Ms. Park to the vacation home.

You spent the night with her while your kids were there

and now you're telling me that the engagement is off.

Ms. Jo.

I didn't ask Ms. Park to come by.

Se-chan left his phone at home and asked her to bring it to him.

A candle they lit led to a fire in the shed

and Ms. Park was injured while getting them to safety.

That's why she stayed over.

You expect me to believe that?

Don't you bother with such lies.

Talking to you

has only given me more reasons

to break off this engagement.

Mr. Lee,

that's not what I meant.

I really wanted to spend time with you and the children at the vacation home.

I was so upset, thinking that Ms. Park replaced me,

and it made me behave unreasonably.

How can you not know how I truly feel though?

You know how I've devoted my life to you and the children.

You can't do this to me.

You're devoted to my children?

So you locked them up inside a dark storage room?

Who gave you the right?

What?

But that…

That alone tells me

you're not qualified to be their mother.

My apologies, Mr. Lee. I admit that I went too far.

I'll apologize to the children

and go back to being on good terms with them.

I don't care how wrong they were.

You wouldn't have done that if you had cared for them.

Ms. Jo,

it's true

I don't recall the last three months

and that I have no romantic feelings for you.

But I agreed to maintain this engagement

until I regained my memories.

But I see no reason for it now.

This is where we end things.

Mr. Lee, I'm sorry. I won't do this again.

So please…

You're only making it harder for yourself.

I was wrong to go after a man

who was engaged.

I deserved that slap.

So what do I do?

How can I look at her on a daily basis?

Ms. Park, the chairman just called.

He has granted you a sick leave, so you get a week to recuperate.

A sick leave?

Yes, you deserve it after saving the boys' lives.

Besides, you've never taken any vacation days.

Go home for the week,

have fun with friends, and enjoy your mother's meals.

Don't worry about anything here and get some rest.

Got it?

Right, of course.

-Goodness. -Hey, Dan-dan.

Dan-dan?

What's with the suitcase?

Dan-dan, were you fired?

Or did you quit already to head out to the States?

No. I was given some vacation days.

I didn't take any time off, so my boss told me to get some rest.

Of course. What's the point in quitting early?

You should earn as much as you can before you leave.

The next job is still months away.

Dan-dan, what happened to your hand?

-What? -What?

Oh, this. I burned myself.

On the kettle while making coffee.

It's fine, Dad.

Seriously? You should've been more careful.

We were all on our way out to the restaurant.

Wouldn't you be bored without company?

It's fine. I'm going to get some rest alone.

Sure. Come by the restaurant if you're itching with boredom.

You can keep yourself busy by waiting on tables.

What?

Why would you say that when she's here to rest?

Can't you see the bandage on her hand?

Of course. She's here to rest up.

Dan-dan, go to my room and catch up on some sleep.

Sure thing, Grandma.

I'll rest for a bit and come by the restaurant.

That's not necessary. You really don't need to.

-We should get going. -Sure.

Rest up.

Sa-ra, you're home.

What's with that look on your face?

Sa-ra, what…

My gosh.

Goodness me. Sa-ra!

Sa-ra, what's going on?

What happened?

Mom, what am I going to do?

What about Se-jong?

What…

Mr. Lee broke off the engagement!

Mom, what am I going to do?

What? He broke off the engagement?

My gosh.

Does he remember what happened

during the time he believed he was 22?

No.

He still doesn't remember anything,

but he claimed that I'm not fit for motherhood

and used that as an excuse to break off the engagement.

What?

What should I do now?

Should I find an attorney?

What am I going to do, Mom?

How could he do such a thing after all this time?

It's an engagement anyway.

He can't just break it off like this.

I can't let this happen.

Hey, Wang Dae-ran!

What are you going to do with my Sa-ra now?

What are you going to do with my daughter?

Gosh, Ki-ja.

What's all the fuss? What's wrong?

-My gosh. -Her engagement is off.

And she's devastated to death.

How could you just take a nap at ease?

How could you be so carefree?

What? Her engagement is off? What does that mean?

Did Young-kuk get his memories back?

My goodness.

It's not that he regained his memories.

But he just broke off the engagement all of a sudden.

Why did he get engaged in the first place?

Why did he do that when he'd break it off so easily?

Hey, Wang Dae-ran. Take responsibility.

Be responsible for Sa-ra.

Gosh, Ms. Wang. Mr. Lee is home.

What? That jerk is home.

-My goodness. -Where's Chairman Lee?

-Hey! Get out here. -Please don't do this.

-Mr. Kang. -My gosh. Ma'am.

Let go of me.

-Let go. -Please don't be like this.

-What is this about? -You!

It seems like she wants to talk to me. Let go of her.

What are you going to do with my daughter now?

The whole country knows

that you and my daughter were engaged.

You took her to the island and your vacation home

toying with her heart.

And now you break off your engagement?

Why did you get engaged to her in the first place?

How could you do this?

I'm sorry.

Ms. Jo and I have talked about it enough.

I have nothing more to say on the matter.

-Mr. Kang, please take her home. -Yes, sir.

-Hey. -Let's go.

-Please leave. -Chairman Lee.

Hey! What? You have nothing more to say?

You ruined my daughter's life.

How could you hold your head up high like that?

You! Get off your high horse, darn it!

Please leave.

-You darn chairman. -Please come on out, ma'am.

-Hey! -Please leave.

You jerk. I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Gosh. He didn't say anything until this morning.

What's happening?

I don't think he regained his memories though.

What is Sa-ra going to do now?

You darn jerk!

This darn family.

Because I stole some money and gold bars,

I've been feeling guilty.

But I don't have to feel sorry anymore.

I'll call it even with this.

It's even now.

Is Ms. Park on leave?

Yes. She's home now.

Soo-chul, we should call Dan-dan then.

My gosh. What's with me? Why did I call her like that?

I guess that's because I feel comfortable with her.

What if Soo-chul finds it strange?

Can I really do that?

Of course. We should talk about going to the States.

I want to hear her thoughts.

Okay. Let's do that.

Hello, Ms. Kim.

Now?

Ms. Park, what's with your hand? Did you get hurt?

She scalded her hand while making some coffee.

You should've been careful. I hope it won't leave a scar.

The doctor says it will be fine.

I just need some medicine.

I see. I'm glad that it's not bad.

You must be hungry.

Mr. Park, let's eat.

Okay.

Enjoy it. Let's eat.

Ms. Park, you're not eating much today.

I've had enough.

I really liked the food.

By the way, Ms. Park,

have you made up your mind about going to the States?

The States?

We should start getting the visas and passports ready.

Will you come with us?

Well…

The thing is…

I'm still thinking about it.

I'm not sure if I should leave here.

I really don't know.

-Ms. Park. -Dan-dan, what's wrong?

I'm sorry, Ms. Kim.

I should get going now.

Dad, I'm sorry. I'll see you later.

-Dan-dan. -Ms. Park.

What's with her?

I guess this is about her boyfriend.

What? Her boyfriend?

Does Dan-dan have a boyfriend?

Yes. When I stayed at Chairman Lee's place,

I asked Ms. Park if she had a boyfriend,

and she said yes.

She did? Who is that?

She didn't tell me who it was.

And she came to see me later on.

She cried a lot for some reason.

She said she broke up with her boyfriend.

Did Dan-dan say that?

I had no idea.

I think there's something wrong with her boyfriend.

It's just my guess,

but I think her boyfriend doesn't want her to leave.

Otherwise, why would she be like this?

It's weird that she wants to stay because of the kids.

Right.

-Ms. Park. -Ms. Park.

Jae-ni. Se-chan. Se-jong.

What are you doing here?

We're here to visit you.

To visit me?

This cake is for you.

Do you really like it?

Yes. It's really delicious.

It's so tasty.

Ms. Park, can you make this for us at home too?

Sure. I will.

But it has carrots that Se-jong hates

and spinach that Se-chan hates.

Do you still like it?

I know.

I hated spinach when I had it as a side dish.

But it tastes so good this way.

I like it too.

It's strange that the carrot doesn't taste like poo.

Hey, Se-jong.

Don't talk about poo when we eat.

Gosh, I'm tired.

Hello, Dae-beom. It's me.

My sweet Bambi. Are you feeling better now?

Did you sleep the whole time?

What? Yes. I just got some rest.

I feel better now.

You should stop coming here.

It's really hard for me to see you struggle here.

We should find some other way to get my dad's approval.

All right. Fine. I'll do as you say.

Thank you, Se-ryeon.

I'll call you when I'm finished.

Okay.

Give me a kiss.

I just can't get along with his family.

What should I do?

Is there any way I can steal Dae-beom from them?

Hey, Seung-ho.

What? Golf?

Nice shot.

I haven't played it in a while, but I'm not so bad.

I taught you how to play.

I took you out too.

That's right. You did.

It's so refreshing and liberating to be out.

I can finally breathe.

-You can? -Yes.

Let's play more often.

Sure.

I love this.

-Mom. -My gosh.

Oh, my. Who are you?

-Who are you to call me Mom? -Gosh.

Mom. Don't say that to your only son.

Mom, let's go out to eat.

I'll buy you udon. You love that.

Let's walk arm-in-arm and call it a date.

How's that?

What?

Okay, then.

First, tell me what your plan is.

I'll listen first

and then decide whether to go on that date.

Mom.

Should I become an actor?

I'm full to the brim with talent and I can't control it.

What?

I'll become an actor. I'll learn how to dance too.

You said yourself that I was handsome.

I think I can be a successful celebrity.

Do you want to see me dance?

-Get out, now. -That hurts.

Get lost.

How can you be so foolish?

Will you really quit medical school, a degree that everyone envies?

If you do, I'll cut ties with you.

-Mom. -What?

You can't say something that serious so easily.

Can you live without me, Mom?

Let go of me this instant.

I love you, Mom.

That's enough!

Mi-rim.

How can it happen?

This is something you only see on TV.

If you're my aunt's niece,

that makes us family.

What does that mean for us?

I'm so confused.

I can't think at all.

Will you tell your mom about our relationship?

How can I do that?

She'd be shocked if she were to know.

I somehow have a bad feeling about this.

Jun-o.

Shouldn't we think

about what we should do?

What do you mean?

What should we think about?

I don't know.

I feel like we should think about something.

My gosh…

I feel like we got bombed on.

What should we do now?

I don't know.

What should we do?

Ms. Yeoju.

The kids don't seem to be around.

I was just about to tell you.

They all went to visit Ms. Park to wish her a speedy recovery.

What?

-Three-six-nine. -Three-six-nine.

-One. -Two.

Three.

-It's you. -You messed up.

What?

What's wrong with me?

Fine. Beat me up.

-Don't complain or whine. -Come at me.

-Indian bop! -Indian bop!

Oh, dear. You'll kill my poor Gun.

-What kids… -Why are you so bad at this?

My gosh.

Just wait until you mess up. I'll get back at you.

You'd better hope you don't mess up again.

-Three-six-nine. -Three-six-nine.

-One. -Two.

Three.

You messed up this time.

Why did I mess up?

We shout out whatever number comes next.

At three, six, or nine, you just clap.

Since you didn't get the rules, let's say that was a practice round.

Let's play again!

Good luck, Grandma.

-Do better this time. -Oh, dear.

Don't you worry about me.

I did so well in school back in the day.

Ready, go.

-Three-six-nine. -Three-six-nine.

-One. -Two.

-Four. -Five.

Six!

-You got it wrong again. -You messed up.

You'll never get this game, Mom.

Why did you yell out six?

You should've just clapped.

-My gosh. -Too bad.

-Are you having fun? -Have some snacks.

I want to play too.

-We need to swap players. Who's in? -Me.

-You? Sit down. -I want to play.

-Join in. Three-six-nine. -Three-six-nine.

-Three-six-nine, one! -One.

-Two! -Three!

What a mess. This is a dreadful mess.

-What kind of game is this? -Let's eat.

Have a cookie instead.

I had so much fun.

Yes, so did I.

I'm sad we have to go. I wanted to play a bit more.

We can visit again.

Let's go.

-Dad. -Dad.

-Dad. -Hi.

Did you come for the kids?

I was going to take them home.

No.

You're on holiday. It's right that I come.

I bet you couldn't rest with them around all day.

It's fine.

Goodbye, then.

Bye, kids.

Ms. Park, don't betray us.

You said we'd get bungeoppang.

Jae-ni, I'll buy you bungeoppang.

Okay. It's on you.

Let's go, Ms. Park.

Let's go, Dad.

Hurry up.

Let's go!

You ate the tail first.

You ate the fin first.

What should I eat first?

You start with the head.

That sounds painful.

I don't think I can eat mine.

Then give it to me. I'll eat it.

No way!

Ms. Park, why aren't you having one?

I'm full.

Do you want one more?

Yes, why not?

Ms. Park.

Did you see a doctor?

Yes. I'm fine now. Don't worry about me.

Ms. Park. Eat this at least.

You didn't eat much for dinner.

I'm fine. You can share that.

What did you do at Ms. Park's?

She made bibimbap in a large bowl.

In a huge bowl, she put carrots, spinach, and egg.

Anyway, she made bibimbap with lots of vegetables,

and it was so good.

Was it?

We played with yut and ttakji, and we played the three-six-nine game too.

Dad, Ms. Park's place is really fun.

It's a hundred, thousand times more fun than our home.

Whom did you play with?

With Ms. Park?

With her uncle and grandmother.

Ms. Park was under the weather.

During our time together, I have never seen her this way before.

She didn't seem well at all.

She didn't eat bibimbap with us, and she didn't participate in the games.

It seemed as though she's got no energy.

She seemed worried about something as well.

What was that just now? Do you know something that I don't?

-No. -Of course not.

Something's definitely fishy.

Se-jong, aren't you going to tell me?

Jae-ni, stop asking.

You'll only break our hearts more.

What? Unbelievable. As if I really want to know.

Ms. Park, I saw that you were under the weather today.

I'll book an appointment for you with Dr. Kim tomorrow,

so how about a full checkup?

I feel terrible since you were injured while saving Se-chan and Se-jong.

It's all right. A few days of rest will do the trick.

I appreciate your concern.

Are you sure?

ARE YOU SURE?

ARE YOU SURE?

Se-jong.

Don't be sick

and stay healthy.

Your mom…

will come back for you.

I will.

My goodness. Every bone in my body aches.

What did I tell you? I told you to keep taking these.

Couldn't you have given them to me sooner?

You kept nagging me without even giving me a massage.

-Here you go. Okay, fine. -Goodness.

My body knows what's good for it.

Did Dan-dan go out?

Yes.

She just left.

She'll see a doctor and hang out with a friend.

Mom, don't you think I should be more proactive?

I should meet with Ms. Anna Kim

and thank her officially.

Yes, you should.

Take some of the marinated crabs I made.

Right, of course.

It's pretty obvious

that many want to get on her good side.

What if others get in the way

to make her change her mind

and she takes back the job offer?

I'll get on her good side and make sure

that she takes Soo-chul with her to the States.

This is what a devoted wife does.

You're right.

You should take this opportunity to formally greet her.

Extend your gratitude while you're at it.

Right.

Drink up, Mom.

Goodness.

So that's where I put it.

Dan-dan was an adorable baby.

I will take Dan-dan and Soo-chul

to the States with me

and do what I can to give them a new life.

My Dan-dan.

Isn't she…

Why is she here?

Hello, Ms. Kim.

We actually met before. I'm Soo-chul's wife.

Yes, hello.

What brings you by?

I was so grateful for your offer that I came to thank you in person.

May I come in?

But…

I may not have many talents, but I know how to cook.

Here are some side dishes.

My mom makes the best kimchi, you know.

You should try it.

Where's your fridge?

Oh, there it is.

This isn't necessary.

I heard you live alone.

And those who do tend to skip out on meals.

You should always have a proper meal from now on.

Excuse me.

Please don't mind me and take the call.

Yes, CEO Jeon. Hello.

It's Anna Kim.

There we go.

Gosh, what a nice place she has.

It's like those fancy apartments

occupied by career women in movies or dramas.

Lucky her.

Wait. Since I'm here, I should help her clean up.

Okay, let me see.

Look at all of this.

Pens shouldn't be scattered.

Goodness!

My gosh.

I see they're baby photos.

Maybe it's her daughter.

Hold on.

This baby looks a lot like Dan-dan.

My gosh.

What are you doing?

I thought I'd clean up since I was here.

That really isn't necessary.

Ms. Kim, you should go about your work

and let me clean up around here.

I said it was all right.

I have somewhere to be, you see.

Oh, I see. Of course.

I'll get going then.

Well… Ms. Kim.

Thank you so much for offering Soo-chul a job.

Please contact me if you need anything.

I'll gladly clean your office or run errands for you.

Right.

Well, Ms. Kim, have a good day.

Please take good care of my husband.

Goodness.

How…

How could she come here unannounced?

Is she going to make a habit out of this?

I feel better now that we've formally met.

But the baby in the photos did look like Dan-dan.

My goodness. They look so alike.

One might say they look the same.

Honey,

why are you looking at Dan-dan's baby photos?

Honey, I went by Ms. Anna Kim's place today.

What?

Why would you go there?

I was grateful for the job she offered you,

so I brought her some dishes to formally greet her.

That's where I saw baby photos of Dan-dan.

What are you talking about?

Here. Look at this.

The baby I saw looks exactly like her.

To me, they look identical.

Why would she have photos of Dan-dan? You're being ridiculous.

Stop it with the nonsense and don't go there anymore.

It's her place of work, you know.

Okay, fine.

How could you go there when it's her office?

What did you just say?

I only went there to put in a good word for you.

Unbelievable.

I'm sure of it.

Ms. Wang, what is this?

As you know, my safe was robbed,

so I'm close to being broke.

I scraped money from where I could,

so please accept it as a token of my apology.

Ms. Wang…

I thought of you as my own daughter

and sincerely hoped that you'd be my daughter-in-law.

I'm sure you know that I mean every word.

I hardly got any sleep last night

and the house feels empty without you.

You have no idea how upsetting this is.

Despite my best efforts though,

I could not think of a way to change Young-kuk's mind.

If he were my biological son,

I'd do whatever it takes to make it work,

but you know he never listens to me.

Ms. Jo, you and I both

did what we could.

So I think this is where you move on.

It's not like Young-kuk is the only man available.

No. We can't do that, Ms. Wang.

I can't give up yet.

What other choice do you have?

What are you going to do?

When he fired me,

I thought it was over, but it wasn't.

It will be the same this time.

That's why I need your help.

With your help,

I can be with him again.

Please, Ms. Wang.

How could I possibly help you?

It's not like I can give him amnesia.

Ms. Jo, this is where it should end.

One must know when it's the right time to give up.

No, I can't do that. I will never give up.

My gosh.

Unbelievable.

She can't give up? Then what will she do?

I get that they're mother and daughter, but how can Ki-ja and Ms. Jo be so alike?

They are a pair of leeches.

Once they get a taste, they never let go.

My gosh, they exhaust me.

Did you hear about the chairman's broken engagement?

Remember what I said when the article came out?

I told you that he could do better.

His fiancée wasn't right for him.

Yes, and consider his social status.

How could he marry someone who works at his residence?

You should've told me that your father remarried.

All this time, I thought Yeon-sil was your birth mother

and that Dae-beom was your biological brother.

I thought that you already knew.

I had no idea.

I stumbled upon it only recently.

This is upsetting to say the least.

You work as a tutor living in someone else's home

and your dad works endlessly to provide for a family that isn't even his.

But it's too late for me to say so.

So Dan-dan,

where did your birth mother go?

Are you in contact with her?

I wanted to ask your dad,

but I'm asking you since he probably won't give me a straight answer.

My birth mom?

Yes, your birth mother.

Where does she live?

Why did she leave your dad?

She passed away when I was a baby.

What?

She passed away?

Yes.

My goodness. What on earth?

What could've prompted such an untimely death?

Auntie, could you ask my dad for me?

He won't tell me her name

or show me any photos.

I don't even know where she rests.

You have no idea how upsetting it's been.

Auntie, I want to at least know

what she looks like.

Goodness, Dan-dan.

Wipe your tears with this and please don't cry.

What on earth is going on?

Start from the beginning and tell me everything.

-Mi-sook, you're here. -Yes.

Did you and Yeon-sil have an affair and kick Dan-dan's mom out?

Is that why she passed away? Did that really happen?

Mi-sook, what's going on?

I was with Dan-dan just now.

Dan-dan?

I get that you were in love with Yeon-sil,

but how could you do this to your own daughter?

Okay, fine. Let's say it's all in the past that you abandoned Dan-dan's mother

to have an affair with a single mother.

But you should've at least given Dan-dan a photo of her mother.

She cried her eyes out over the fact that she doesn't know her mother's face.

How could you treat your own daughter this way?

No, Mi-sook. There was no affair.

Dan-dan's mother ran away when she was just a baby.

-It wasn't him who abandoned her. -Honey, that's enough!

What are you talking about?

Dan-dan thinks that her mother's death

was the result of your affair.

Well, you don't have the facts straight.

Dan-dan's birth mother abandoned Dan-dan and Soo-chul.

And I talked Soo-chul out of taking his own life.

Mom, you tell her. You witnessed it all.

Why aren't you saying anything?

You can at least tell your sister everything.

Why should she know me as the villain as well?

What on earth is going on?

Then…

Then…

Are you saying that Dan-dan's mother abandoned her and Soo-chul?

Yeon-sil, is that what happened?

Yes.

He felt bad for Dan-dan.

She'd be heartbroken to know the truth, so I wasn't allowed to say anything.

It's why she has been kept in the dark.

You know what?

My insides could actually be rotten to the core.

My heart was broken over and over again

when Dan-dan accused us of having an affair.

I'm finally going to clear my name.

She's right.

Soo-chul and Yeon-sil didn't have an affair. No way.

Dan-dan would be devastated if she found out the truth

which is why Soo-chul didn't want her to know.

Because of that, Yeon-sil had to take all the blame.

Then what about Dan-dan's birth mother?

Where is she?

From what I heard,

she went to the States after abandoning her daughter.

We haven't heard from her since,

so we don't even know if she's dead or alive.

My gosh.

Goodness me. How on earth…

Soo-chul!

Soo-chul!

How could she be so cold-blooded?

Seeing Dan-dan cry her eyes out over not knowing her mom

broke my heart, you know.

I think it has been eating away at her.

You could've given her a photo of some random woman

and let her believe she was her mom.

It's not something I didn't consider.

However,

she would've kept staring at that photo then.

And if I'd told her that I scattered her mom's ashes at the Han River,

she would've gone there

whenever something was troubling her.

It would've killed me.

Our poor Dan-dan.

She would be

devastated to know that her own mother abandoned her.

She's better off knowing that her mother is dead.

So,

what kind of life is her mother living?

I have no idea and couldn't care less.

Can you please not talk about her anymore?

Right, of course.

I've been upset at Yeon-sil for the past few days,

but now that I know the truth, I'm grateful to Yeon-sil.

She didn't say a thing to Dan-dan.

She's kept it from Dan-dan the whole time.

I guess she's not all bad.

Right.

I know she is flawed, but I want you to like her.

She has tried hard to raise Dan-dan well.

If it hadn't been for her, Dan-dan and I might have…

Thanks to her,

I could raise Dan-dan until now.

Okay. I get it.

Honey, we should tell Dan-dan the truth now.

You saw what happened earlier.

If I hadn't told the truth,

Mi-sook would've hated me her whole life.

I understand how you feel as her father.

But you should think of Yeon-sil's situation too.

The very person whom she has raised

blames and resents her.

This is just wrong.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I understand I might look selfish to you.

But I just can't do something that will break my daughter's heart.

And if she knows that her birth mom is still alive,

she will definitely

want to find her.

I can't let that happen.

Please understand my situation, Mother.

I'm grateful that you've put up with the whole thing.

Honey.

I'm really sorry.

But please let it slide this once.

Okay.

I get it.

Dad.

I won't tell Dan-dan about this. Please don't worry.

Okay. Thank you, Dae-beom.

Fine. I understand.

They say men are blind in their own cause.

I only cared about Yeon-sil's situation.

I mean, I've kept it from her the whole time.

It won't be a problem to continue to do it.

Don't worry. I won't tell her.

Let's just pretend nothing happened today.

Thank you, Mother.

And I'm sorry.

Mother.

Dan-dan.

Her suitcase isn't here. Where did she go?

The receiver cannot be reached.

Please leave a message…

Ms. Jo must be in there.

Should I go to Eun-ju's place instead?

Dad.

You're still on leave. What are you doing here?

Let's go home.

I don't want to go to your place.

And I don't want to see you for the time being.

I'll stay with my friend. So you should just go home.

I heard you met your aunt today.

I heard.

Then will you show me the picture of my birth mother?

Will you tell me where she's buried?

Then I'll go home with you.

Dan-dan, why are you being like this?

And why are you being like this?

Why won't you show me all those things?

Why won't you tell me about her?

I don't have a single photo of my birth mom.

I don't even know where she's buried. How can this be?

I bet I'm the only one who doesn't even know

what her own mom looks like.

Dad, you know what?

When I have a hard time,

I want to go to where my mom is buried.

And I want

to at least call my mom once.

But no matter how much I struggle,

I don't have anywhere to go.

Dan-dan.

After I broke up with your mom, I didn't hear from her for a long time.

And I just heard that she died later on.

That's why I don't know where she is.

Do you actually expect me to believe that?

You might hate my mom so much,

but to me, she's my mom.

I want to at least know what she looks like.

Did you ever consider my feelings?

Dan-dan.

Ms. Park.

Mr. Lee.

Ms. Park,

come with me.

Where?

Let's just go.

Let's go.

Mr. Lee.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop,

but I overheard a conversation

between you and your dad.

I didn't know you had such a sad story.

Ms. Park.

A bike ride is good for a day like this.

It's a little cold, but why don't we ride one together?

I'll do 100 laps for you.

Hop on.

Hurry and hop on.

Now.

Hold on tight.

Mr. Lee.

Just one more night…

Let me lean on you just for one more night.

Thank you so much.

Here we go.

Mr. Lee. I'll take my luggage from here.

How do you feel?

Don't you feel better after the bicycle ride?

I do.

Thanks to you, I feel much better.

I'm just your kids' live-in tutor.

Thank you for being so nice to me.

I'll teach them well until my contract expires.

I'm not leaving because you did something wrong.

I just feel like I'm being suffocated.

This isn't how life should be. This is a prison.

This is a cave without a single ray of light!

What about me, then?

What about our Dan-dan?

Just consider me dead.

Wait, Soo-chul!

Soo-chul.

Please.

Please don't die. We can raise our kids together.

I'll…

I'll be Dan-dan's mom.

So please… Please, Soo-chul…

I must've been possessed.

I forgot about the family

that was there for me all this time.

My wife.

What have I done to them?

Ms. Kim.

It's me.

Can we meet right now?

You can press the code to come in.

I gave it to you.

It must be cold outside.

Wait while I make some hot tea.

No, Ms. Kim.

Forget the tea.

I came to say something.

What…

Ms. Kim.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I don't think…

I can go with you to the US.

I'm not going.

Soo-chul.

What are you saying?

I'm looking for a place for us to stay and a car too.

I'm sorry.

I can't

leave my family.

I got the wrong idea. I was terribly wrong.

Even if you're sick, I won't come here again.

Why are you saying this, Soo-chul?

Thanks for everything so far.

I won't forget what you did for me.

Goodbye.

Soo-chul.

Why are you doing this to me?

Did I do something to upset you?

Or did I do something wrong?

Please don't do this.

No, it's nothing like that.

You did nothing wrong.

However hard things are,

I should get through those times with my family.

But I forgot my place and dreamed too big.

I did something I shouldn't have.

I hope

you understand.

Soo-chul.

Please reconsider it.

If you leave like this,

I can't manage on my own.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Why did he suddenly change?

How could this be?

I will do whatever it takes

to go to the US with him and Dan-dan.

No matter what,

I'll take them with me.

My Dan-dan…

I'm back.

You're back already? You have a few days off left.

I came back because I was worried about the kids.

I got back last night,

but it was too late to say hi, so I waited until now.

Oh, my gosh.

This is so infuriating.

Ms. Yeoju, is everything okay?

As if. Something huge happened.

Something huge? What happened?

Ms. Park.

The chairman called off his engagement.

What? He called it off?

Mr. Lee did that?

What?

My husband said he wouldn't go with you?

Yes.

He suddenly changed his mind.

I'm actually quite confused myself.

Is there a problem he can't leave for the States?

Gosh, no. There's no problem at all.

Gosh.

He's out of his mind. Why did he suddenly back out?

I'll raise his annual salary to 200,000 dollars.

Can you talk to Mr. Park for me?

To 200,000 dollars?

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Then on top of 200,000 dollars,

will he still get the house and car?

Yes, of course.

If I knew why he said he couldn't go,

I would figure out a solution,

but I don't know the reason,

so I'm assuming it's the pay.

If I were to look for a replacement,

that would take extra time,

and there's no guarantee I'll find someone

as honest and diligent as Mr. Park.

That's why.

Yes, I understand. I'll talk to him.

Don't hire a replacement until I do.

Soo-chul will go with you.

Don't worry, Ms. Kim.

Okay. Convince him for me.

Sure.

-What? -She offered 200,000 dollars?

Yes. That's over 230 million won

at today's exchange rate.

And he gets a house and car as well.

My goodness.

How did she double his salary just like that?

Is all this true?

Why even ask?

She's spitting all over the place explaining to us.

An annual salary of 200,000 dollars is

what an executive gets.

Soo-chul's really something.

Hang on.

Did he refuse to go to negotiate a raise?

No.

Dad doesn't have that kind of smarts.

True.

The pay's way too much to refuse.

Honey.

-Hey. -Soo-chul.

What's the urgent news?

Well…

What is it? Is something wrong?

-Well… -Gosh.

Honey.

Did you tell Ms. Anna Kim you wouldn't go to the US?

You went to see her again?

I didn't go to her. She asked to see me.

She'll raise your pay to 200,000 dollars.

Come on.

Did you refuse to go to get higher pay?

Is that why you turned it down?

Honey,

don't visit Ms. Kim even if she asks.

I won't be going to the States and that's final.

What?

Why won't you go when she doubled your salary?

It's not like you'll be taking up manual labor

carrying bricks and other heavy things.

You'll be driving her around and managing the books

which is hardly a challenge.

Don't you know that some guys

take up jobs in the desert for their families?

Honey, that's enough.

I'll stay in Korea and focus

on running the fried chicken place,

so stop telling me to go to the States. Understood?

My gosh.

-Gosh. -What?

Goodness. My gosh, Gun.

What is with your brother-in-law?

Who's being ridiculous here? Me or him?

The annual salary she offered is 200,000 dollars!

That's over 230 million won at today's exchange rate.

Why would he turn down such a sweet offer?

Beats me. Even I can't think of a plausible reason

as to why he'd decline.

Unbelievable.

All that money… Why on earth?

Why is Ms. Kim

being this adamant?

What could I possibly mean to her?

Soo-chul,

we should first sit down.

Ms. Kim.

I explained extensively as to why I can't go,

so why did you say such a thing to my wife?

Why cause confusion for my family?

Because you suddenly turned down the job again.

So you met with my wife to mention an increased salary?

It's my way of saying that you mean the world to me.

If your feelings

for me were genuine,

you wouldn't have shaken up my family by mentioning a raise.

This is you

trying to buy my affection with money.

I'm disappointed to say the least.

No, that's not what I was trying to do.

It's just that

I wanted you and Ms. Park to come with me to the US.

It was a terrible mistake.

And I'm sorry.

I get what you mean,

so let's sit down

and talk about this over some tea. Please?

Is this

squash and kimchi soup?

Yes, it's squash and kimchi soup.

This is my mom's specialty.

Not many people know this recipe.

I like to eat udon at rest stops.

I even missed my bus once while eating udon.

Are you Ms. Anna Kim?

That's right. I'm Anna…

Ms. Kim!

What on earth?

Who could you be?

Who are you?

Did you come to find me because you were worried?

-It's obvious, you know. -That's not it.

-Then let's put it to the test. -I said it wasn't.

-Just once. -I said it wasn't true.

Thanks, Seung-ho. Thanks to you, I had a great time.

-What did you do today? -I stayed home.

I saw a guy drop you off just now.

Were you testing me? You're hurting my feelings.

-Indian bop! -Indian bop!

If you keep this up, the children will suspect something.

Do you have something against our dad?

Please watch what you say in front of them.

Ms. Jo. How about you start over with me?

Are you making a move on me because the chairman dumped me?

How dare you try to flirt with me?

The baby in these photos is Dan-dan.

Why does she have photos of Dan-dan?

Ji-young.

So you really are Ji-young.

Kim Ji-young!
