Do Ran, you didn't tell anyone...

that I called you, right?

Even to Yoo Jin.

No, I didn't tell anyone.

By the way, what's the matter?

Do Ran.

Don't be surprised.

Do Ran.

Your birth father...

is alive.

What?

My birth father...

is alive?

Grandma.

What are you talking about?

I've hesitated a thousand times...

whether I should tell you this.

But if my operation goes wrong,

I would regret not telling you even after my death.

That's why I'm telling you.

Grandma.

My birth parents...

have passed away a long time ago.

No, that's not true.

Only your mom died.

Your dad is still alive.

Are you...

serious?

Yes.

But how do you...

know my birth father?

When you were a baby,

your parents lived in my house.

And your foster father came to take you.

So that's how I know your foster father,

and your birth father.

Grandma.

Where is...

my birth father now?

But your father said...

he would disappear...

if I tell you this.

He said he would go to a place...

where nobody can find him.

Grandma.

What are you saying?

Where is my father?

Who is he?

You said he's still alive.

Then, Do Ran.

Promise me that you won't tell anyone.

Even to your husband, or Yoo Jin,

or to your foster mother. Never tell anyone.

Promise me.

Only if then, I can tell you.

I promise.

I won't tell anyone.

Even to my death, I won't.

Okay.

Do Ran.

Your birth father...

was at your wedding.

He was there by your side.

What...

What did you say?

Taxi!

Tell me everything.

Everything that you know.

What's my father's name?

What's his name?

I don't know his name.

I think his last name was Kim.

But I can't remember it clearly.

I called him Do Ran's dad...

instead of his actual name.

Still,

I do remember his face.

I ran into him at the marketplace...

and talked with him too.

I'm sure he was there at the wedding.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

He was there by your side. I'm sure of it.

By my side?

No way.

Grandma.

Do you think...

you can recognize him if you look at his picture?

Of course.

Could you drive a little faster, please?

Sure.

Think about it.

He's a young man, but he isn't interested in women?

It doesn't make sense at all.

What's wrong with her?

Hong Shil, what are you doing in Go Rae's room?

Well, it's nothing.

His desk is so dusty.

I should tell the housekeeper to clean.

What are you hiding behind you?

- Let me see. - It's nothing.

Give it back to me.

My goodness.

Hong Shil, this must be why...

Go Rae isn't interested in women.

What should we do?

That's not it.

They're friends, so what's wrong with this picture?

Face the reality.

No matter how much you try to deny it,

the reality won't change.

Nurse Kim in his hospital said...

that Nurse Park tried to...

seduce and hit on him for years,

but he never laid his eye on her.

- Is that true? - Yes. It's natural...

to be interested in someone who likes you,

but he never laid a single eye on her.

So Nurse Park gave up on him...

and got herself another boyfriend.

Go Rae must've suffered a lot alone.

Nurse Park. It's here.

Hello. Why didn't you come inside?

Well,

I have something to ask you in private.

Go on, ma'am.

Well...

Sorry for flustering you by saying this,

but...

do you know...

if Go Rae is seeing anyone?

A girlfriend?

I'm asking...

in case he has a lady problem.

Go Rae is offered a lot of blind dates...

here and there these days,

so he shouldn't be seeing another woman.

I see.

Have you gotten any call...

from a woman looking for him?

Or...

have you seen him on the phone with a woman?

No, not at all.

Not at all?

Not even once?

You've never seen it even once?

No, ma'am.

I've been working here for more than three years,

but I've never seen him date a woman...

or talk with a woman on the phone.

I see.

Do you know where Secretary Kim is?

Secretary Kim?

She isn't in the office? Where did she go?

She has the marketing research report,

and we have to submit it to the chairman.

So Secretary Yang wants her back quickly,

but we can't get in touch with her.

She might answer your call,

so can you try calling her?

Please excuse me then.

Secretary Hong.

Do you still hold grudges against me?

I'm sorry.

I had my crush taken away from you,

so I sometimes lose my temper.

Please be understanding.

Where did she go?

The phone is turned off.

The call's being forwarded to the voicemail.

What?

Her phone is turned off?

What's going on?

Do Ran?

Why are you here in the house at this hour?

What? Did she just ignore me?

My goodness. I can't believe this.

Who on earth is he?

Who is my dad?

Secretary Kim.

You think I'm a pushover?

What do you take me for?

How could you ignore me...

and go straight up to your room?

How rude of you.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I'm up to something really urgent...

that I didn't hear you.

Why are you looking at your wedding album...

when you say you're that urgent?

Well...

I'm sorry, Mother.

This is seriously urgent.

Excuse me.

Gosh, hey. Do Ran.

My gosh. How could she...

Does she really think I'm easy?

I just can't believe this.

What's going on, Mother?

What's wrong with Secretary Kim?

Da Ya, I think she's gone insane.

She ignored what I said...

and went outside.

Really? How could she do that to you?

Why is she so fearless?

She might be thinking...

that she's all high and mighty...

with Grandma and Father backing her up.

My goodness, what am I supposed to do with her?

Unbelievable.

Ms. Kim. Are you up to something?

Something urgent came up.

Do you have time to spare right now?

Yes, Madam Park said...

she didn't have any schedule today,

so I was resting.

Can you give me a ride then?

- To where? - To the hospital.

To the hospital?

Why? Are you sick?

No, my friend's grandma is there.

It's urgent, so please do it for me.

Sure, let's go.

Thank you.

Well...

What's going on?

Did Ms. Oh scold you?

No, it's not that.

I see.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - No problem.

- Thank you. Bye. - Bye.

What's making her in such a rush?

Her friend's grandma got hospitalized,

so why would she take her wedding album?

Hello, Ms. Yeoju.

Right now?

I'm out to give Ms. Kim a ride...

regarding her urgent business.

Okay, I'll be right there.

What?

Secretary Kim went out in Mr. Kang's car?

Ms. Kim seemed to be up to something urgent.

That can't be an excuse for what she did.

Does she think he's her private driver or what?

Tell me about it.

No matter how urgent it was,

I never asked Mr. Kang for a ride.

He's Grandma's private driver,

so she shouldn't be riding his car as she pleases.

Look at how she's dissing her sister-in-law.

That rude little pup.

She should've taken a cab or asked for permission...

if it was that urgent.

Who does she think she is...

that she's riding his car as she wants?

One rotten apple is spoiling the barrel here.

That arrogant girl knows no manners.

This is upsetting.

I can't understand.

Ms. Yeoju.

She isn't even directly involved,

but that annoying brat is making things worse.

What are we supposed to do with her?

Watch it if you don't want to get kicked out.

It's my fault for telling the truth.

I should've said Mr. Kang went to fill the gas tank.

Sweet Ms. Kim will get a scolding.

I know.

What was so urgent that she needed Mr. Kang's car?

I don't know.

Grandma.

Look at this photo too.

He's not here.

He's not among your family or friends.

And I don't see him among the guests.

Did he not take any photos?

I wonder...

if she has dementia like Madam Park.

Could she be telling me things she's imagining?

It doesn't make sense that my dad was next to me.

Grandma, take your time. Look carefully and slowly.

I guess I was mistaken.

Do Ran, I'm sorry.

It's okay, Grandma.

Wait, wait.

This man here.

It looks like him.

Him? This is Mr. Kang.

Who? Mr. Kang?

Who's that?

This can't be the guy.

He's our family's driver.

This looks like him.

Is there a clearer photo of him anywhere?

Here, right here.

He's here too.

Grandma.

Look carefully.

Is it really him?

It is.

This is him. It's definitely him.

This is your dad, Do Ran.

He's your dad.

That can't be.

This is...

my in-laws' family driver.

What?

Your in-laws' family driver?

What does that mean?

He was...

at your side watching over you.

And was at the wedding.

Not being able to say he's your dad.

He must've felt terrible.

Grandma.

If he is my dad,

why couldn't he have told me so?

It doesn't make sense.

Do Ran.

Do you think...

that's what he wanted?

There must be a reason...

why he couldn't tell you.

I'll ask him in person.

No, Do Ran.

You can't.

His only wish is that you don't know...

he's your dad until the day you die.

If he knows that you know who he is,

he might disappear far away.

He said he'd leave the day you found out.

So you can't show that you know.

If you do,

your dad might disappear forever.

That can't be.

No way.

Do Ran.

No.

It can't be.

Mr. Kang's my dad?

Grandma's mistaken.

She's talking nonsense.

It can't be true.

That man...

Mr. Kang is my father?

Let her go.

Here's my number. Call if you need help.

I was so pleased, so to celebrate...

Even though she's not yours, you raised her.

How can you say that?

No.

No.

When did you get back?

Just now.

What's the matter?

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

You look terribly unwell.

Are you sick?

Well...

Can you go to a pharmacy and get me painkillers?

I have a headache.

A headache? Is it bad?

Yes, a bit.

I won't be long.

Go and lie down.

Hi, Mr. Kang.

Why are you here?

Can you pass this to one of the ladies?

- To Ms. Kim. - Ms. Kim?

Didn't you take her somewhere?

She hasn't come back yet.

What?

I just met her in the garden.

She had a headache and I got her painkillers.

- Is she not upstairs? - No.

I just finished cleaning the upstairs rooms.

Did you really see her in the garden?

Yes, just now.

Did she go back to work?

If she comes back later, give this to her for me.

She said the headache was bad.

Okay then. I'll do that.

Thanks.

That's odd.

What's up with her?

Did something happen while she was with...

her friend's grandmother?

Goodbye.

Yang Ja. Yang Ja.

- Hey, it's you. - Sit down for a bit.

- What is it? - Sit down.

What's going on?

- A while ago. - Yes.

You asked me to tell you...

if I came across any investment tips.

I found a huge opportunity.

A huge opportunity?

What is it?

Do you know Samdo Construction?

Samdo Construction?

Don't they build a lot of apartments?

There's nothing you don't know.

They're going to lot-out a complex they built,

and they need more financing.

They're looking for some investors.

Lean in.

10 percent interest per month.

Isn't that crazy?

- 10 percent per month? - Yes.

That's impossible these days.

That's how urgently they need the money.

It's better than going bankrupt.

I guess so.

It's a short-term thing. Just three months.

What do you say? I opened two accounts.

Would you like to open one?

An account?

- In my name? - Yes.

If I invest 100,000 dollars,

I get 10,000 dollars a month?

How much do I need...

to open one account with them?

300,000 dollars.

300,000 dollars?

Why is the limit so big?

It's not that big.

Why?

I get it. It's a bit too much for you.

Isn't it?

Well, the thing is,

I only have 290,000 dollars.

I'm short of money.

I remember you saying that you were swindled before.

So I wanted to let you in on this.

I'm sorry. That's too bad.

I didn't see this coming, so I splurged already.

Yang Ja, let's do this then.

I'll give you 10,000 dollars...

so you can open an account.

You can pay it back once you receive the interest.

Mr. Kong, can you really do that?

Sure. You are investing your money.

You're not going to take off with my money.

Of course not.

I have the principal, and I'm getting the interest.

That's not going to happen.

Mr. Kong. By the way,

are you sure you have two accounts?

My goodness.

Why would I miss such a good opportunity?

You know I'm Kong Sung Sik.

Here.

It says Samdo Construction and 600,000 dollars here.

Here.

Samdo Construction, 600,000 dollars?

- You are serious. - Of course.

My goodness.

Yang Ja.

This is the apartment.

My gosh.

The construction is almost finished.

So it's not going to go bankrupt, right?

Of course not.

That's right. They say money makes money.

Renting an apartment is not important now.

I should invest money.

Then I will be able to buy...

an apartment like this later on.

- Mr. Kong. - Hey.

Yang Ja, that guy over there...

is the one who gives me all the information.

He's the construction site manager here.

I'll go talk to him.

Please wait here for a moment.

Okay. Go ahead.

- Wait here a little. - Okay.

Hey, Mr. Park. How are you?

It's been a long time.

I was just passing by.

The construction is almost finished.

As you can see.

It looks great.

You must be busy.

Yes, I'm busy.

What?

Where's my toothbrush?

This is strange.

It's not like a toothbrush has its own feet.

Why is this in my room?

Do you need anything?

Do you want some coffee?

No.

By the way,

do you know whose hair band this is?

I'm not sure.

Ms. Cho, is this yours?

No, it's not mine.

Did you bring this, Mr. Kang?

It was in the front yard.

We have a lot of women in this house.

I will find the owner and give it back.

Okay.

Whose hair band is that? Why was it in my room?

Did Hong Joo drop it the other day?

And my toothbrush is gone.

Mr. Kang, what's wrong?

What? Nothing.

By the way, isn't Ms. Kim home yet?

She said she had a bad headache.

No, not yet.

I see. See you later then.

- Ms. Kim Do Ran? - Yes.

Here's the test result.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

(Parentage Test Report)

(Probability of paternity is 99.9 percent.)

How...

How is it possible?

Ms. Kim.

You said you had a headache.

How are you feeling?

Ms. Kim, wake up!

Ms. Kim!

Ms. Yeoju. Ms. Cho.

Wake up, Ms. Kim.

My gosh, what's going on?

- My goodness. Ms. Kim! - What's wrong?

- My gosh. - Wake up.

She will get better after getting some rest.

Please don't worry.

Doctor Kim, are you sure she's okay?

Yes. I think...

she passed out because of stress.

Don't worry too much.

Stress?

Isn't it that she has a disease?

Thank you, Doctor.

Let's get out so Do Ran can get some rest.

Okay.

- Mr. Kang. - Yes?

- Let's go. - Okay.

Did Doctor Kim leave?

Yes.

I'm glad that she's okay.

Mr. Kang, thank you...

for carrying Do Ran to upstairs today.

Go get some rest.

Yes, ma'am.

What did she do? Why did she pass out...

and make all the fuss?

We even had to call Doctor Kim.

What would Doctor Kim have thought about us?

Gosh, this is so embarrassing.

We have someone who just passed out.

How could you say something like that?

You're being like this to her,

so Do Ran got so stressed out and fainted.

What? What did I do?

Are you saying...

she passed out because I gave her a hard time?

I can't believe this.

I don't even know how to give her a hard time.

Hey, Da Ya.

Did I ever give you a hard time before?

No.

Ms. Yeoju. Ms. Cho.

Have you ever seen me...

give Da Ya or Do Ran a hard time?

See? Why would you say that?

She just passed out because she's weak.

And you know what?

She doesn't even answer my questions.

If anything, I'm the one...

who's walking on eggshells around her.

This is just ridiculous.

You keep calling her Secretary Kim.

How could you...

I'm just not used to...

calling her name yet.

It feels weird to call her name yet.

I still feel the same way with Da Ya.

I will just try to call their names.

Anyway, please listen to me carefully.

She started working again right after the wedding,

and she prepared breakfast every morning.

Adjusting to new circumstances...

and taking care of Mother,

she must've overtaxed herself so far.

Please make sure to help her a lot...

so she wouldn't be too tired.

Yes, sir.

And Da Ya.

Yes.

You stay at home,

so you should help her make breakfast.

Make sure to help her with a lot of stuff...

so Do Ran won't have a hard time.

Okay?

Yes, Father.

And you, Eun Young.

Make sure to be nice to Do Ran.

Did he just say I should be nice to her?

Does that mean...

she's sick because I was mean to her?

I can't believe this.

Why is he being like this to me?

Gosh, this is ridiculous.

That's so absurd.

Is she my daughter-in-law...

or my boss?

My goodness.

Mother, please have some water.

Okay. Thank you.

Mother. I'm so upset because of Father.

I let my employees to watch the flower shop...

and go there only once or twice a week...

so I can learn how to do the chores.

But Father thinks I'm just goofing around at home.

And he treats me like Do Ran's helper.

I guess I should go back to work.

Do you think you are as frustrated as I am now?

If I gave Secretary Kim a hard time,

he would've been so upset that he'd collapse.

This is ridiculous.

By the way, why on earth did she pass out?

When she left with the album, she looked fine.

Did something happen when she went out?

Mother.

I don't think that she fainted from shock.

When someone is shocked, they faint at the sight.

But why did she faint at the front yard?

Come to think of it,

maybe she has...

some kind of a disease?

A disease?

But Doctor Kim said, there's nothing wrong.

But she didn't get a complete medical checkup.

That's true.

She fell down so feebly.

She didn't seem healthy.

I heard, there are many hereditary diseases.

Besides common disease like diabetes,

there are many hereditary diseases that are unknown.

Hey, Da Ya!

That's terrible.

What I mean is that...

you never know.

That's right.

A friend of mine's daughter-in-law...

hid the fact that she had hemophilia.

Even her grandson suffers from the same disease...

that he can't even go play outside.

Because he should not get hurt or injured.

Exactly.

My goodness, what should I do?

I should've made her undergo a medical checkup.

Ms. Kim...

She was adopted.

We don't know anything about her birth parents.

What if her parents died from a hereditary disease?

What should I do about it?

That's a nonsense.

Are you thinking that Dae Ryook's child...

might be inherited an abnormal gene?
