(Episode 16)

I had a drink.

You had a drink and stood in the rain.

You could at least have a drink...

and go out to look for Ba Da.

There's nothing I can do.

All I can do is clean the house Ba Da moved out from...

and make honey water for you.

It had only been a few days.

But the way you look at me changed.

At least you of all people must remember that...

it was me...

who ended things before Ba Da found out.

I had already ended it and was on my way back,

but I was exposed.

I'm not saying it's not fair. I'm just clarifying what happened.

I know that.

We slept together once in the heat of the moment...

and only ended up making a mess.

It was a beautiful sin before we got caught.

But it turned into a humiliating crime afterward.

I was able to endure the humiliation at the crowded cafe that day...

because you were next to me, Cha Won.

Your father, mother, and sister...

took turns criticizing me.

But the trust that I had someone in my corner helped me endure it.

Even when you weren't with me, I was happy as if you were mine.

I'm so close to you that I can even hear you breathing,

but you feel so far away.

I can see it in your face that...

you resent and blame me for what happened.

You said your thoughts about me...

consumed you all day since the moment you woke up,

and your heart was beating so fast that it drove you crazy.

But your feelings crumbled away so easily.

The inflated balloon in your hand...

must not be so beautiful anymore.

You must have been scared when Ba Da asked for a divorce.

Marriage comes with duties and loyalty.

But an affair is over...

when feelings fade away.

You should be responsible for your own mistakes.

And I, mine.

If they are too much to handle, push them to me.

Who cares what happens to me?

I'm an evil adulterer who seduced her friend's husband.

I'm sorry.

You can curse me for being a foolish and cowardly man.

My life was thrown upside down,

so I failed to be considerate of you.

I'm sorry.

Your affair has been giving me a headache.

So only your immediate family is here.

Cha Won.

You told your father it wasn't a mistake.

Then when did you two start having feelings for each other?

Our affair started recently.

But she had feelings for me for a long time.

Ever since she first met me,

she had feelings for me.

See?

She was the one who seduced him!

So how do you feel?

Yes. Tell us every bit of your feelings today.

No, never mind.

Just end it.

I never liked Ba Da from the beginning...

nor her minion.

How dare she?

It wasn't a marriage problem.

You cheated on your wife...

with her friend at that too.

What if Mi Poong finds out when she grows up?

Unbelievable.

How could you let this happen?

What did Eun Kang say?

She didn't say anything.

Our divorce has nothing to do with her.

Nonsense.

This all happened because of her.

How could you say something like that?

Fix this no matter what.

No one is getting a divorce in my family.

Gosh, I'm so lonely.

- Darn it. - Goodness.

We can't come up with a solution even after this meeting.

I can't think of anything...

but finding Ba Da.

Don't skip meals.

This was your decision. Why are you skipping meals?

Exactly.

If you couldn't handle the consequence,

why did you cheat?

How uncivilized.

(CEO, Ji Nam Chul)

Father,

don't leave us.

Why don't we have dinner with your mother today?

(My Chun)

Okay.

(My Woon)

Sounds good.

It's me.

I told the kids we would have dinner with them tonight.

I have plans.

Do you think I'm always available for you?

The kids aren't going to the academy today.

I'm busy.

I haven't been able to go out because of Cha Won's situation.

My friends have been begging me to meet up.

Count me out.

Geum Ah. Are you there?

She's meeting her friends?

Yes.

She hasn't been able to go out...

because your grandpa wasn't feeling well.

Did something happen to Grandpa?

What? No.

Uncle Cha Won hasn't been visiting lately.

Did they have a fight?

Do you think Uncle Cha Won would fight with Grandpa?

Only Dad would do something like that.

Father doesn't fight Grandpa.

Grandpa scolds him.

Grandpa doesn't scold Uncle Cha Won.

You know nothing.

No one scolded anyone.

Eat up.

It would've been nice if Mom had come too.

Let's come back with her soon.

- Hurry. - Okay.

Here I go.

Ta-da.

You used to do that a long time ago too.

This looks so good.

It's been a while since we had...

jjajangmyeon at a motel, right?

After you and I broke up,

I never had jjajangmyeon.

Jjajangmyeon always reminded me of you.

Will you keep working as a taxi driver?

Yes.

Being a private taxi driver is my dream.

It means I'll be my own boss.

I can work anytime I want.

I see.

Let's travel together once you become a private taxi driver.

I'll pay you for the hours.

It's not that easy, though.

I can't cause any accidents.

I have to be a good driver.

What about your husband?

What does he do?

He took over my father's business.

Did you say he ran a taffy factory or something?

My grandfather used to operate something like that.

Are you interested...

in getting married again?

No.

Here.

Okay.

You fell for it.

Hey.

You're so mean.

Go easy on us.

- Dad. Why are you so good? - Gosh. It's not going in.

Gosh. You're good.

Wait.

Whenever we met,

I used to hold you in my arms all day long.

We did this for days and didn't even get hungry then.

You were me,

and I, you.

It's odd, isn't it?

We've been apart for so long.

But it's not awkward at all.

Same here.

Meeting you again...

feels like a dream.

How could I forget you?

I'll never forget this face.

I bought you new underwear.

Can I wear your old ones?

Boxers are more comfortable.

- Gosh. It's cold. - It's chilly, right?

It's cold.

Gosh.

- All good? It's okay. - Yes.

Give me a kiss.

Let's go in quickly. It's freezing out here.

- Gosh. Give me a second. - I wish we could do this every day.

Really? Are you sure?

Okay.

Really?

Gosh. That's so funny.

Look at the time.

How long have we been talking?

I don't know. Maybe for two hours?

Time flies. My phone is getting really hot.

Just like us, our phones are getting heated.

- Aren't you cold? - I can't even feel the cold air.

I'm crouching down in a corner where it's not so windy. I'm okay.

No. It's cold at night.

It's cold even in my room.

It's cold in your room?

My sister-in-law won't turn on the heater in my room.

A bowl of water can freeze in my room.

We're waiting for this house to get torn down.

Don't you have a heating pad?

It broke.

I'm okay. I only sleep in here.

Okay.

Hey. Why did you come out all of a sudden?

Then should I knock before I come out of my room?

Why aren't you sleeping?

Who's that on the phone? You were giggling at this late hour.

Did you get a new girl?

Wait. Is it her?

No. We don't even talk. I don't even have her number.

You cannot see her again. Never.

He hired thugs to beat you up because he didn't want...

his daughter to marry someone like you.

He said she was going to marry someone else.

He could kill you without leaving a trace.

Whenever your back aches, it breaks my heart.

You and I have the worst luck when it comes to women.

I injured my shoulder, and you hurt your back.

Back then, you both were single.

But now, she's someone else's wife.

Don't start something you can't face the consequence of.

If you take it too far, you'll be in trouble.

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

Hey, me first. It's urgent.

- Geum Ah. - Did you find her?

No.

Had I known, I should have stopped her from leaving.

I should have made her stay no matter what.

She has no place to go.

Geum Ah.

- I have to go. - Why? Did you find her?

(Mi Poong's Kindergarten)

Hello, this is Mi Poong's dad.

What?

That's never happened before.

This is the first time.

We don't have a spare outfit for her, so I called.

Okay. I'm on my way now.

(Cha Won)

- It's me. - I'm sorry.

But can you go to Mi Poong's kindergarten now?

Mi Poong might have wet her clothes.

Can you please go there with some spare clothes?

You're Mi Poong's mom, right?

I heard you were abroad. You must have come back.

Right. What about Mi Poong?

She won't come out of the bathroom.

Mi Poong has been acting differently lately.

It might be because she's been away from you.

I'm sorry.

Mi Poong, it's me. Open the door.

Mi Poong.

Aunt Eun Kang.

I washed her and put her to sleep.

It was urgent, so I called you instead.

She's never done this before.

She cried a lot, right?

A bit. Things like this happen to kids.

I'll keep an eye on her whenever I can.

I'll get going.

Eun Kang.

Thank you. I mean it.

Are you feeling better with the piggyback ride?

When's Mom coming back?

That's funny.

You said you were fine about Mom leaving.

I miss Mom.

When I was sick,

Mom put me on her back and helped me fall asleep.

When? I always did that.

Mom did that for me too...

when I was little.

Do you remember that?

Yes. Mom put me on her back...

and drew a ring.

She worked all night while carrying me on her back.

Stop talking as if I'm not worthy of being a mom.

I might not be perfect,

but I did my best over the past seven years.

Put your hand over your heart and think about it.

Making Mi Poong her breakfast every morning,

dressing her and getting her to kindergarten,

bringing her home in the evening, washing her, and putting her to bed.

I did all that.

How many times have you been to Mi Poong's kindergarten?

I'm sorry,

but we have to close up.

I lost track of time.

I'm really sorry.

I'll leave once I finish this.

Lock up behind you and watch out for any sparks.

Right. Thank you.

Good night, everyone.

Eat some before you go.

I don't have an appetite.

Eating to satisfy our appetites is a luxury we don't have.

We eat to survive.

Take a seat.

Eat.

It's kimchi fried rice, your favorite.

What about you?

You haven't been able to eat, either.

I live in luxury and only eat to satisfy my appetite.

Don't cry.

Forget and move on.

Lucky her.

All her kids are doing so well.

My eldest?

No, she isn't married.

Do you want to set her up?

What does he do?

Does he have kids? One?

How much does he earn a month?

Forget about my eldest.

What about my youngest?

Is there a decent guy for her?

What's this nonsense about a thug?

I'm hanging up!

Darn cow.

Talking about our kids always drives me up the wall.

See?

I would not be treated this way if you were doing well.

Because you'll soon be 40,

she can only set you up with a man...

who barely makes 2,000 dollars a month.

It's either that or single dads.

This is what you get for being called a thug as a kid.

How can you even stomach that?

It's her first meal today, so leave her be.

For days, she has been too sick to eat.

Other people's daughters try to outdo each other...

when it comes to caring for their parents.

How could I be this unlucky?

She was given a designer purse for babysitting her grandchild.

Her youngest daughter is the same age as you,

and she's marrying a government employee next month.

I'm suspicious about how you've been lately.

Did you borrow money from loan sharks again?

Stop badgering her. She's sick.

This is what you get for quitting that bookkeeper job!

She isn't better than me in any way,

but you two cramp my style.

Her children are good to her...

because she was a good parent.

- What? - Why do you want so much from us...

when you have done nothing for us?

Stop comparing us to your friends' children.

What haven't I done for you?

I raised you all these years.

This is why you're impossible to talk to.

You're supposed to raise the children you gave birth to.

You weren't doing us a favor.

What is this rubbish?

Is this what I get for raising you?

Don't you get what she's saying?

Raising your children isn't done as a favor.

You are supposed to raise your children.

That's right, and I worked my butt off.

I didn't abandon you nor did I let you starve.

Unbelievable.

Mom.

If you can't bother to know what's going on with us,

just mind your own business.

Why care if we get married or not?

It's your fault we turned out this way.

What?

This wouldn't have happened had you made a different decision.

You made us this way,

so think about your children more!

(CEO, Ji Nam Chul)

(Credit card purchase: 40 dollars, Warm electric heating pad)

(Heating pad)

I got you a heating pad.

What for?

You need to keep warm while you sleep.

I'm hungry. Let's grab a bite to eat.

(Credit card purchase: 40 dollars, Drivers' Diner)

(Credit card purchase: 42 dollars, Ganeung Pharmacy)

(Credit card purchase: 42 dollars, Woori Jjajang)

(Credit card purchase: 50 dollars, Aromatic Unmanned Motel)

- I just got this. - What?

You need to take these.

Take care of your health if you're going to drive around all day.

I haven't done anything for you, though.

Nonsense.

You are a gift to me.

Swallow it.

Take better care of yourself.

Make sure to have them every day.

Thanks, Geum Ah.

Right.

Thank you.

The food at the Drivers' Diner was delicious.

Right?

Here.

- I won't fall for it again. - I mean it this time. Open up.

You got it all over your face.

Just a second.

What's wrong? Are you cramping up?

It's my back.

I'm fine.

Did you get hurt?

Well...

I once worked at a construction site.

You should've been more careful.

I'll apply a hot pack to it later.

Have you not met your birth mother?

No.

What if you finally sought her out?

Why are you here, you tramp?

Why are you here?

- Mom... - Mom?

How dare you?

How can you be this brazen...

after ruining Ba Da's life?

I'm sorry.

- After all that Ba Da did for you? - I'm sorry.

You...

I bet you approached Ba Da to take advantage of her.

She gave you the clothes off her back...

and also money for you to spend.

You even came to eat with our family.

You joined us on family vacations.

She paid your tuition.

And when your sister caused trouble,

she bailed her out of prison!

She paid the settlement.

Let's go. We're taking this to your parents.

What kind of parents raised a daughter like this?

- I'm sorry. - I must see for myself.

I'm so sorry.

This is Ba Da's house!

How dare you?

Do you think you'll be happy after stealing one's husband?

Cha Won must've been bewitched at the moment.

It's not like he actually cared for you.

You can try all you want,

but you will always be less than the dirt on Ba Da's feet.

Come on. We'll go to your parents.

Let's see what kind of parents...

raised a daughter like you!

Come on.

We'll go to your parents.

- Please forgive me. - You nasty tramp.

- Mom. - Come on!

Just this once.

Auntie?

Why are you doing this to her?

I hate you, Grandma!

Mi Poong, come here.

I hate you, Grandma!

Don't hit Auntie.

Auntie, it hurts, doesn't it?

Don't come to our house anymore!

Why did you even go there?

I went to see my granddaughter.

Who knew that tramp would be there?

Could they be living together?

What if Mi Poong ends up...

calling Eun Kang her mom?

She won't.

Don't divorce him.

Why would you do him a favor?

Don't do it even if it makes you sick.

They'll probably get together almost instantly.

(Learning Center)

Welcome home. You must be cold.

What do you say to braised kimchi?

Goodness. Your hands are freezing. Sit over here.

Right here. Warm your hands.

- I ate. - Did you already?

Money?

Mine is invested in stocks, and I can't liquidate them just yet.

Let's hold off on buying...

the new laser equipment.

I don't mind you borrowing the money,

but did something happen between you and Ba Da?

I heard you came by to see my wife.

I'll tell you some other time.

When will you be back at work?

Our clients keep asking for you.

With spring comes lighter clothes,

and accessories get to take center stage.

I'm putting together a collection that will be in a lower price range.

We should have a meeting once the designs are out.

Thank you. Have a good day.

How did you know I was here?

We should talk.

I asked how you found out. Have you been following me?

Leave before I call the police.

Here.

Get out!

And I will.

Just accept the money and find a better place to live.

A semi-basement unit isn't good for your mother's health.

You know where we live?

- You've been stalking me! - Don't be angry.

Mold won't be good for your mother's weak condition.

This is my professional advice as a doctor.

The sooner, the better.

I left you because you disgusted me,

but you think too highly of yourself.

Do you even know how painful it's been for me?

I'm even staying away from my own child.

Don't come back here again.

Moving around is tiring enough.

You get what I mean, right?

I'll get a new check from the bank.

Hello? Is this the police?

Fine, I'm leaving.

Hey, there. So this is where we meet.

We'll skip the handshake since my hands are full.

Then...

(Learning Center)

So this is where you have been hiding.

How did you know I was here?

You can run, but you can't hide from me.

I know a lot of people.

I see your husband stopped by.

Just leave. I'm busy as is.

Just lay it out on me. We're friends, aren't we?

I'm done living with him.

That's the vibe I got.

Took you long enough.

You look terrible.

Anyway, I stopped by the department store.

Enjoy all you want. I'll always get you more.

Leave it and go.

From what I know,

the guilty party usually gets kicked out of the house.

But I don't think you would've done anything wrong.

Enough.

I'm busy, so stop wasting my time.

I'll stay for just a minute.

Let me know if you need anything.

I'll always be at your beck and call.

Now's the time to fully take advantage of your male friend.

It would be better if I were your boyfriend.

Okay, I take it back.

At least get yourself a new office space.

You'll lose your clients at this rate.

Say another word,

- and you know what'll happen. - I do.

You and your pride.

Eun Byeol, what's going on?

I didn't expect you to call me.

This made my day. Is something up?

I'll be living with Mom again by the end of this month.

She's done with that guy.

Mom.

I told her to come.

Eun Byeol, just a second.

Dad.

Follow me.

I'm only going to say one thing.

Don't take advantage of your daughter like this.

Listen to me when I ask nicely.

Honey, I'm done with that punk.

Eun Byeol wants us to get back together as well.

I'll do better.

You can even quit your job as a taxi driver.

I'll earn enough for us all.

Honey.

I'd rather die than get back together with you.

Honey...

I know you.

You'll find someone else to cheat on me with.

I'm asking you not to hurt our daughter.

And stop providing for those punks.

It has become your pastime now.

It's why those punks keep entering your life.

Get a grip on yourself before it's too late.

Also...

If I see even a hint of a boyfriend,

I'll be taking Eun Byeol away.

Eun Byeol.

I could get you a star if that's what you want.

I could gladly give up my life for you.

But I can't be with your mom.

- I hope you can understand that. - I'm sick of living alone.

Why must I when both my parents are alive?

I'm sorry, Eun Byeol.

Be with your mom for now.

Even though we're not together,

I'll do my best to be a good dad to you.

Gosh, I'm lonely.

Oh, dear. These past few days...

- I seem gaunt, don't I? - It's not that.

- Old... - Old?

Have my wrinkles deepened?

Of course not. You're just as before.

How is it that you always look the same?

- Why did you imply that I was old? - Beats me.

I wonder why I did that.

My son-in-law is having trouble sleeping.

It must be the same with my son.

They're not over the women, are they?

I see you failed to get your word in.

They didn't break up because they fell out of love.

Both relationships ended because they got caught.

The ember at the core is still burning.

If they somehow get back together again...

Goodness.

What then?

The fire will burn hot once again.

Even hotter, actually.

But they'll be more careful this time around...

so that they don't get caught.

Gosh.

What can I do about it?

Just get them to divorce one another.

I know a paralegal who works at a law firm.

If both couples are from the same family,

you'll be offered a package deal.

One of their divorces will be processed for free?

Buy one get one free.

To save my money on lawyers,

you're suggesting that both my children get divorced.

If that's where they're headed, why not do it for a bargain?

If I make the introductions,

you might also get a five percent discount.

Why not save money in the process?

Money or whatnot, I won't allow a divorce...

no matter how cheap it'll be.

Could there be another option?

This is more like a desperate fix,

but meeting the woman's parents will do the trick.

Confront them, humiliate them,

and have them write a memorandum.

Make the whole family take responsibility.

Involve the parents...

when the women are adults?

There's no present without the past,

and the future doesn't exist without the present.

The women had an affair with married men...

because their parents didn't raise them properly.

All children are influenced by their parents.

Adulterers find it most humiliating...

when their parents eventually find out.

You have a point.

As for your son and son-in-law,

take drastic measures to make them come to their senses.

Drastic measures? What do you have in mind?

(You're important too. Please work safely today.)

Yes, Father.

Sure thing.

Got it, Dad.

Strip.

Take an ice bath...

and get a grip on yourselves.

Now!

Father, don't leave us.

Even if Mom lets you down, please just be patient.

She's our mother.

I don't want you to get kicked out in your underwear.

You turned one of us into an adulterer,

and the other into a fool who lost her husband to a friend.

You're a scumbag.

Get out.

I told you to get out.

What are you doing? Get out!

I said to get out!

Do you want to freeze to death?

Get out!

My goodness.

Is it yummy?

Yes, you're the best, Auntie.

I don't like Grandma.

I feel bad for you.

I'm okay since you know how I feel.

Auntie.

Can't you live with me until Mom comes back?

I want you to sleep here with me.

I want to do that too,

but I'm a little busy these days.

Dad!

Hey, were you eating?

Yes, Auntie grilled meat for me.

Dad, can't Auntie sleep here with me?

No, she can't. Auntie is busy.

What about dinner?

I'm not hungry.

Are you feeling ill?

I think I have a cold.

I'll go buy some medicine.

No.

I had some just now.

I just need to sleep.

Did something happen?

I made some ramyeon.

You like a simple bowl of ramyeon without the egg in it.

- Hey. - Did you find her?

- Yes, I did. - Where was she?

She lives in a semi-basement room.

And she moved her office to a smaller place too.

I don't feel great about it.

I'll talk to you later, Geum Ah.

Did you find Ba Da?

- Yes. - How is she doing?

Can't you tell me where she is?

Not now.

She doesn't want to see anyone.

And Eun Kang...

I don't think you should come here.

I don't want people to see us.

Sorry.

I get what you mean.

Why don't you go to the doctor?

You're just making yourself worse.

You've had a cough for a few days.

How have things been with your father-in-law?

It's just so-so.

You have something to tell me, don't you? Go ahead.

What do I do in a situation like this?

The kids'...

mom...

Go ahead and tell me.

No.

It's nothing.

We'll have to work overtime today too.

I think it'll go on for a few days.

Okay.

You should head home, sir. You're not feeling well.

We'll take care of it on our own.

No, I'm fine.

You should get rid of the adulterers for sure.

Both sides should take the blame.

There are no side dishes.

Hi, have you been well?

Sure, I've been doing well.

Side dishes?

What a shame.

I'm too busy right now.

Please.

I'll pay you for the ingredients too.

Of course, you should pay me for that.

I have plans right now.

Please do this for me, ma'am.

I'll pay you extra.

Yes.

I'll just cancel my plans.

Chairman Ko!

Hey, come inside.

He's having an affair with the bookkeeper.

I got her a job as a bookkeeper.

How could a young lady lie so easily without batting an eyelash?

A guy who goes camping is always a good guy?

You go camping with your boyfriend?

I was going to turn a blind eye,

but I just can't because I'm too angry.

How dare you try to gloss things over with this?

It's just a lousy can!

That's how you seduced my son-in-law, didn't you?

You knew that he had a family.

How could you seduce that gentle guy?

What do you think of this?

How could you not admit that you were wrong?

I don't think that I was wrong.

So how could I admit that?

- What? - My feelings were sincere.

So I don't think I was wrong.

But I do feel guilty about his wife.

Don't worry.

I won't meet Mr. Ji.

It's not that my feelings have changed.

It's for Mr. Ji's sake.

Why, you little...

There's no need to say more.

Here. Sign this.

(Memorandum, I swear I will never meet Ji Nam Chul...)

(under any circumstances. If I do, I will take legal responsibility.)

I can't...

sign this.

What did you say?

Where do you live? Are your parents home?

Do they know that you live like this?

- They don't know. - They don't?

If they don't, I should let them know.

Lead the way. Let's go and talk to your parents.

What kind of parents raised their daughter like this?

Even if you meet my parents, you won't get the answer you want.

Seeing how I am, you can probably imagine...

what kind of people my parents are.

They might even demand money,

saying that you ruined my future.

If the word gets out, things will only get bothersome for you.

- What... - Things are already over.

I won't contact him.

For Mr. Ji's sake.

Are you sure?

Yes.

If you ever go against your word, you know what will happen, right?

Be prepared.

- Mom. - Was it you?

The bookkeeper who had an affair with the chairman's son-in-law?

Was it you?

How could you... What do I do?

Should I let you live or not?

What do I do with you?

Oh, gosh! What's going on?

Come on. Why are you doing this?

What's wrong?

How could you?

- What is it, Uncle? - Eun Kang, this is bad.

Eun San got into trouble.

What will you do now?

- Hey. - What will you do?

- What's going on? - I don't know either, Dae Bong.

Just come home.

Okay.

Ban Sook! Don't use violence.

Stay out of this! You don't know what she did.

How am I supposed to live with this shame?

I raised you with such care.

How could you go after a married man?

I doubt it was Eun San's fault. The man must've approached her.

I can't believe this.

A man who's over 50 and has two kids...

seduced a girl who's 20 years younger than him?

- I'll give them a piece of my mind. - Ban Sook!

Don't get overworked.

You need to be calm about this.

How can I not get overworked right now?

They ruined my daughter's life!

The thing is, Eun San would have to take the blame in this case.

Eun San is the adulterer in this case.

- What did you say? - I mean,

if that man's wife files a lawsuit, Eun San will be at fault.

She's at a disadvantage. She'll have to pay a fine too.

It'll be bad for Eun San if she gets a court case on her record!

She has to pay them too?

Yes, that's the law... Gosh!

You crazy wench!

How could you be so thoughtless?

What's so great about an old guy that you ruined your own life?

What will you do now?

What will you do about your life?

What will you do?

- Eun Kang. - My goodness!

Mom, stop. Things have already happened.

You can't solve anything by beating her.

You knew about it, didn't you?

Eun Kang did nothing wrong.

You brats.

How could you let her work for a guy like that?

Eun Kang couldn't have known this would happen.

She just wanted to help her sister make money.

But you knew later on.

If you did, you should've stopped her.

How could you keep it quiet as her sister?

What will you do about your sister now?

She didn't know!

She found out after things happened.

So why did you do it?

Why did you drag me there?

What are you saying? Where did I drag you to?

You dragged Eun San around to catch Dad cheating on you.

When Eun San was in eighth grade, you dragged her along...

and saw Dad with another woman.

She swore she'd never date any man in the future...

and that she'd never get married.

How could you make a little girl see something like that?

This is child abuse!

When did I do that?

Don't you remember?

I never once forgot about it.

You dragged me along several times after that too.

This crazy jerk! I ought to...

- Ban Sook! - Don't talk badly about Mr. Ji!

He's different from you or Dad.

He's a decent man.

How could a decent man seduce a young girl like you?

I seduced him first.

What?

Say sorry to Eun San.

Dad might be your husband, but he's our dad.

You always looked through his phone and dug up his private life.

Why did we have to know about that?

You dragged me along and did the same to Eun San too.

Did you ever love us?

You should've taken care of it on your own!

You should've at least kept it from your own kids!

Didn't you think of how hurt your kids would feel?

Eun San was so young, and she was so hurt.

How could she have dated a guy her own age like a normal person?

You and Dad made her this way!

You must be celebrating something.

Yes.

Who are you?

- Who are you that you're... - I'm...

Eun San's... I'm Cho Eun San's dad.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry I didn't answer your call right away.

What brought you all the way here?

- Should we go somewhere to talk? - It's fine.

Where is your house? You live around here, don't you?

Lead the way.

- Sir? - I'll get your parents to sign...

a written promise.

Only then will my daughter-in-law come back.

Don't you know who I am? Take me there now!

I'm sorry, Chairman Ko.

Please forgive me.

- I can't take you to my house. - Why not?

Your parents should know too.

Their daughter seduced her friend's husband...

and ruined her family.

Let's see what they will say.

I'm really sorry, sir.

Isn't that...

our housekeeper?

- Ma'am! - No.

I don't think it's her.

It's not?

I think it is.

It's not. It was just someone who looks like her.

Well, then, let's go.

I'm really sorry, sir.

Are you ignoring what I'm saying?

Even if you go to my house,

my parents aren't home.

They're not home?

They passed away.

I thought I heard both of your parents were alive.

No, they're not.

Both of my parents passed away.

Just keep one thing in mind.

Don't get greedy with my son.

You're not good enough for him!

If we're to do...

what you said here on that night...

I know that we shouldn't do this...

and that we can't.

Despite all that...

Cha Won.

Let's not give up.

I'm afraid and scared,

but I want to see...

where the end of this path is.

(Red Balloon)

What would it be like to live with a woman like that?

Of course, I thought about that.

What will you do?

Let's deal with adult problems among us adults.

Man to man.

Come on out!

You think I'm vulgar, don't you?

How dare you lay a hand on my son?

Is that you, Eun San?

Don't wait for me.

Do you know all about me, Cha Won?

You don't care about my feelings, do you?

What was I to you?
