Episode 23

I have something to ask you.

About that baby…

Who is that baby?

Is she really your relative's baby?

What are you talking about?

If she wasn't, whose baby would she be?

Okay.

You seem to care about that baby so much.

When we were talking about kids,

you became very defensive.

You seem to care about too many things.

Caring about a cousin may be strange to you,

but to me, it's normal.

Well, you are very loving.

I'll say this one more time.

Don't use work as an excuse

to drag me out here again.

No way…

What?

What's that supposed to mean?

Really?

They're coming on strong.

Then we have to stop them.

Make it as short as possible.

There are things I need to settle here.

No longer than a week.

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

Busy?

No. How can I help you?

Did your talk with Phillip go well?

Yes.

What'd you talk about?

Work? Or…

You two seem pretty close.

Yes, we only discussed work.

Really?

Anyway, you heard, right?

Seongun and I are getting engaged next week.

Oh, okay.

We need our engagement outfits.

I'm wondering what your schedule is like.

You didn't forget, right?

You promised to make our engagement outfits.

Was that an empty promise?

No.

When is the exact date?

Next Tuesday. There isn't much time left.

Okay.

I'll try to get it done quickly.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, Ms. Lee?

I'm at a cafe near the office.

Can you come meet me?

Of course. I'll be there shortly.

Okay.

You look tired.

Get a facial before the engagement.

Okay, I will.

Oh, right. What about the outfits?

It'll be a small ceremony,

so they don't need to be custom pieces.

Don't worry. I asked Ms. Han to make them.

Oh? She said she'd do it?

She can't refuse me.

Good job.

While she's making the outfits,

I'm sure she'll come to her senses.

Why? Is she getting in your way?

I asked her to make our outfits for that reason.

Because of the project,

I wanted to let this slide, but I guess I can't.

What?

Nothing. I'll take care of Areum.

Don't you worry.

Just prepare for the engagement ceremony.

Okay.

The engagement's next week? How can it be?

They should've consulted

Louis, the fairy godmother first!

I can't consent to this undemocratic decision.

I'll release serpents, rodents and insects!

The snakes will eat the rodents who will eat

the bugs who will eat the snakes. It'll be chaos!

That's disgusting!

How did Attorney Ko get so lucky?

She's thin, pretty, smart, talented,

and now she's marrying an heir.

It's like winning the lottery many times over.

It's because she's pretty, thin and smart

that she got an heir like Director Cheon.

That's right. It's not like winning the lottery.

It's the natural order of…

Hey! You're making me even more envious.

Why would you get envious?

Yes. This is Han Areum.

President Cheon's calling for you.

Did you call for me, sir?

Welcome. Come here.

There's someone who wants to meet you.

This is my wife. Introduce yourselves.

Oh, sure.

Whether I'm wrong or right,

it's none of your concern.

I didn't tell you to pay my fines.

I parked my car where I wanted to.

How dare you try to lecture me?

Didn't your parents teach you any manners?

Excuse me.

There's a trash can right here.

How rude.

Nice to see you, Han Areum.

Oh, yes. Hello.

Sit.

I kept praising you in front of my wife

so she wanted to meet you.

I was very curious about you.

It's truly great to meet you.

You're as pretty as I've heard you are.

Thank you.

What is it?

I got it. I'm heading out now.

Oh, dear.

I have an appointment, so I'll have to leave.

We'll just have a friendly chat then.

Don't worry about us. Go ahead.

Take your time.

- See you later, Ms. Han.
- Yes, sir.

What? Are you uncomfortable?

What?

You're right. This isn't our first encounter.

I made a mistake earlier.

I have a bit of a fiery personality.

I'd like to apologize now.

Oh, no. I was out of line.

I'm sorry.

I'm glad we got that out of the way.

I hear you're working on the K-fashion project

with Director Cheon.

I am.

Please give him lots of support.

With the engagement coming up,

he'll have a lot on his mind.

Soon, he has to get married as well.

Okay.

You know Attorney Ko, don't you?

I do.

She told me you were making

their engagement outfits.

I'm sorry that she gave you so much work to do.

It's not a problem.

I ask you to be extra meticulous then.

You may go now.

Okay.

What's that?

It's a gift for you, sir.

From whom?

It says it's from your mountain climbing friend.

Okay. You may go.

Sir.

The person who sent the gift is on the line.

Put him through.

Hello. This is Cheon Dohyeong.

Hello.

You don't come hiking anymore.

I suppose you're quite busy.

Yes. Thank you, but you shouldn't have.

Oh.

It's by Master Shin Jae,

one my favorite calligraphers.

It reads,

"In spring, the bird comes down the mountain

to perch atop the highest tree."

I hope you get what you wish,

and succeed in all your endeavors.

No. I can't take it back.

That wouldn't be right.

It's just a token of goodwill.

Please keep it.

Did you find anything out?

Yes.

I tailed Vice Minister Han

and learned about his daughter.

She was studying in the States.

She suddenly returned to Korea.

Seeing as she didn't complete her degree,

there's definitely something going on.

I heard it involved a child.

A child?

He said something about taking a child.

I'll do a little more digging and let you know.

Myeonghwa.

Do you know anything?

I'm talking about the father.

If I knew, I wouldn't be like this.

You're Areum's mother. Why don't you know?

You should've forced it out of her.

Don't you think I tried?

I asked her so many times already.

What am I supposed to do?

Are you sure he's alive?

I don't even know if he's alive or dead.

Are you kidding me?

Your lack of concern

is what got Areum into this mess!

If you're so concerned,

then why don't you figure it out?

You're smarter than me,

and you're more well-connected, right?

Do you still meet with

the Winners Group's CEO's wife?

Why do you ask?

Keep your distance from her.

Why?

Just do what I say when I say it.

I think Areum was made team leader

as a part of one of their schemes.

How is Areum a part of their scheme?

The project my ministry is in charge of

is the same one Areum is working on.

Be careful.

Even if they show kindness,

keep them at a distance.

Okay.

How is it? Good, right?

I got this from Dublin.

I'm opening it because you're in Korea.

I'm just not in the mood to drink.

Why not? What's wrong?

I have a lot on my mind.

What?

You said you were meeting that girl's friend.

Does she have a new man?

It's not that.

I think she had a child.

What? A child?

She says it's her relative's but I'm skeptical.

Her friend Jiwu knew that baby

and she got flustered when I brought it up.

What are you suspecting?

You think the baby's related to you?

Wow.

If that's true…

That'd be jackpot!

I'm tired. You should go.

Okay.

You said you're going to Chicago, right?

I'll see you when you get back.

Areum and I broke up a year and a half ago.

I have to go to New York for a bit.

Take 1 or 2 days off my schedule in Chicago.

Yeah.

Maybe Phillip asked because he's onto you.

I think I'd have been less disappointed then.

What do you mean?

You said you didn't want him to know.

He didn't care at all when his own daughter

was sitting in front of him.

It was so telling of what kind of man he is.

He's ego-centric and selfish.

Still, you're taking it too far.

He only said it because he didn't know.

What will you do from now on?

You can't even go home because of your dad.

I thought your office had a daycare center.

Can't you leave her there?

I can't do that.

I can't let my director see me with her again.

The guy who keeps bothering you?

What?

Did I describe him like that?

He doesn't bother me.

I misread some of his intentions.

Well, let's say that's the case.

But why can't he see you with Tiffany?

He won't believe that she's my niece.

He's seen her way too many times.

Also, I lied to him about it a lot.

Really?

If he were your knight in shining armor,

that'd be so nice.

He's already seen the baby.

Knight in shining armor? Come on.

He's getting engaged next week.

Really?

That's a shame.

Oh, come on.

Hey, auntie.

At a friend's.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

That's good.

Stay there for a while and then go home.

Fix things with your dad and go back.

You can't not see him forever.

Okay.

Here.

For you, too, dad.

I'm busting my butt to feed those two.

You just had dinner! Why are you eating that?

Working at the pizza joint is really tough!

Haven't you ever heard of "dessert"?

You ate all that and you're eating more?

Do you still have room for more?

I'll give you a massage, mother.

- Here.
- Get that out of my face.

What'll you do about Myeonghwa's $30,000?

She called about it earlier.

Can't you tell the landlord

we'll just use it for a month and return it?

Should I ask?

No.

We can't ask him for the security deposit.

I have money coming.

Don't tell me. Show me.

Okay. Don't worry.

Why is he getting mad?

That feels nice, Hyeokmin.

Oh, man.

If I tell her I lost the 30 grand

in that mugwort extract business,

she'll divorce me for sure.

If only I had money to invest in the new town…

Hey, it's me. Can you talk right now?

Could we talk tomorrow?

Really?

You can give me the money tomorrow?

Okay, I'll go there tomorrow.

Thank you, Yeongsu.

What a relief.

I need to pay that money back soon.

I think Areum was made team leader

as a part of one of their schemes.

Ms. Lee wouldn't do that.

Did Vice Minister Han receive your gift?

Yes, I spoke with him.

Do you think he liked it?

Of course.

It's a gift no one could refuse.

Plus, it's not like we're strangers.

I'm sure he didn't take it the wrong way.

By the way.

How do you like Areum?

She's great, isn't she?

I don't know.

Your praises elevated my expectations.

She just seems like a regular, nice young girl.

She may seem that way,

but you can't factor out her upbringing.

The way she speaks and acts

really shows her classiness.

I'll get the vegetable juice. You drank last night.

The torture begins.

Hey, Jiwu.

Areum.

I have a job interview today.

What should I do?

Really? How long will it take?

I just need 3 hours.

But your mom's out right now.

What will we do?

Aunt Seonhwa's at the pizza shop, too.

Can't you say you have to go out

for work or something?

I wish…

But I have a deadline and tons of work to do.

I can't leave.

What do I do? I'm late.

This is a really important interview.

What should we do?

Jiwu, I'm sorry

but can you bring Tiffany here?

Jiwu, over here.

You're here.

You're taking her to your office?

I can't help it.

I'll be alone in the fitting room so that's okay.

Please try to hurry back though, okay?

Okay, I'll be back as soon as I'm done.

Thanks.

You said you were late. Go.

Okay. Bye!

See you later.

If the director sees her again,

he'll be really suspicious.

Tiffany, you can do this right?

Let's do this!

I know this is uncomfortable.

I'm sorry.

We're almost there.

Hello.

The samples must be here.

Yes.

What's this smell?

I didn't think you were this rude!

Why would you fart in this cramped space?

You should've held it in with all your might.

- Geez.
- I'm sorry.

Sorry isn't good enough.

Did you eat sweet potatoes?

I think you need to do an endoscopy.

I'm sorry.

Tiffany, did you poop?

I'm sorry.

That was uncomfortable, wasn't it?

There.

Ms. Han.

That smells.

I'll change you.

Ms. Han.

Ms. Han.

Ms. Han.

Her ringer's going off. She must be inside.

Ms. Han.

Just a moment!

There she is.

I'm sorry.

I must've been really tired.

I dozed off for a bit.

I see.

It's okay. You need time to rest, too.

Thank you for being so understanding.

President Cheon wanted to see the samples

from the presentation one more time.

Oh, that?

Just a moment.

1, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

Exercising is very helpful when you're tired.

You two should follow along.

Like this.

1, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

Turn around.

1, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

I'm really sorry,

but I really need to use the restroom.

Okay.

If you go back to your office,

I'll take the samples to you.

Okay.

Okay, then. I'll see you in a bit.

What was that?

1, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

Did you hear a baby?

Was it a cat?

Huh?

I hear a baby.

Well, sir…

What's with the baby?

Well, the baby from the meeting,

the one who wore the clothes…

Yes?

I don't think it's the same baby.

It's not.

I was fixing the designs,

but Mikyeong said she couldn't bring her baby,

so I brought in another baby.

The baby was sleeping until just now.

He's very handsome.

- She's a girl.
- Really?

She looks familiar…

Let me hold her.

What?

Let me hold her.

She reminds me of Seongho as a baby.

I hope Seongun gets married soon

and gives me a grandson.

Of course.

You have a lot of work ahead of you.

You even have to babysit.

Not at all, sir.

- See you soon.
- Yes, sir.

Tiffany.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell

them you were my baby.

Don't be too upset.

Geez.

Oh, my.

Riverside City Investment Business Proposal

Have some coffee.

1 and a half scoops with 2 sugar and 2 cream.

Thanks.

Myeonghwa.

Please believe me just this once.

I got this information from a reliable source.

This is a golden opportunity.

Money is just swimming before our eyes.

We just need to grab it and make it ours.

If I use my house as collateral

and invest $150,000,

I'll make $30,000 in one month?

Yes.

The investment and the capital continues

and the interest is lower than a bank's.

It's really safe, too.

If you use the $30,000 you need first,

then invest the remaining $120,000,

it'll yield another $30,000 right away.

It won't take long at all.

It'll all be over in just 1 month.

Are you totally sure?

Are you sure it's not a scam?

If it wasn't a sure thing,

why would lawyers, doctors and professors

fight for a spot to invest in this?

All sorts of famous people

and standing in line to invest in this.

This is real business.

This is how the rich make money.

And please.

Don't tell Seonhwa about this.

I've lost a bit of credibility,

and so she won't believe a word I say.

I see.

Okay.

Yeongsu.

I got the deed to the house and the seal.

Then within the week,

you're sure I'll get $30,000?

If something goes wrong, I'm really done for.

I trust you, Yeongsu.

Okay.

Yes, Ms. Oh?

Hi, Ms. Lee.

Will you text me your account number?

I'll send you that 30 grand this week.

Thank you for letting me borrow it.

Are you sure you're not rushing things?

I don't need it back right away.

Why don't we meet, then?

I can't. I'm really busy.

I'll just wire you the money.

Is that what you'd like?

Yeah. Text it to me now.

Okay.

Decide on the dates for the charity donations

at the orphanages

and prepare a report for President Cheon.

Yes, sir.

Do you have lunch plans?

I'm busy, so I planned to go to the cafeteria.

Oh, you're here.

Don't you need to size us up by today?

Oh.

Come to the fitting room whenever you can.

Okay.

It's lunchtime. Let's go eat together

and look at some designs.

No. You two should go.

I'll finish up the pattern.

You want to?

We'll stop by after lunch then.

Okay. Bye.

I'm glad I asked her to do this.

It sounds more like you're threatening her.

Cheon Seongun.

Are you going to keep this up?

Not yet.

This makes it go left.

Yes?

You're in the fitting room, right?

I'll tell Seongun to meet me there.

Okay. Come on in.

Are you okay? Let me see you.

Am I some kind of joke to you?

Don't look at my man!

Don't even smile near him!

Don't ever go near his sight!

You really like that guy?

I know I shouldn't…

But I can't stop thinking about him.

The baby's father is alive.

Why are you doing this alone?

Bring the father to me

and I will accept that baby as my grandchild.

Dad.

Let's get our rings fitted after work.

Dress up nicely

and have a great engagement ceremony.

Do you really mean that?
