You must be busy. You shouldn't have come.

I missed you.

I also wanted to say thank you.

Thank you...

for helping me find my father.

Don't mention it.

Even if I didn't tell you,

you must have met one day.

You are his daughter after all.

Do Ran.

Make sure to...

pretend you don't know...

until your father tells you.

Okay.

Even to your husband, Yoo Jin,

or to anybody, you got it?

Don't worry.

I won't say a word to anybody.

All right.

Now that I've told you about your father,

I can undergo an operation without a worry.

Even if I end up dying, I won't feel sorry to you.

Why would you say something like that?

Everything will be fine.

You will regain your health.

I hope so.

For Yoo Jin,

I must regain my health.

Don't worry.

Grandma.

Do you know...

why my dad wants to hide who he is...

from me?

Do Ran.

That's...

Do Ran.

You found your dad. Isn't that enough?

Your dad must have...

a certain reason why he can't speak about it.

Apart from anything else,

he left you when you were a baby.

How can he come before you?

So don't look back upon your...

painful memory.

How desperate...

must a nice guy like him...

has been to abandoned you?

Mr. Kang...

Mr. Kang!

How did you...

Grandma.

Why did you meet Do Ran?

Since when did you meet her?

What did you say to her?

How much did you tell her about me?

Mr. Kang. Well, that's...

Ma'am...

Why did you tell her?

You promised me you'd hide it forever.

So how could you tell her?

I'm getting surgery...

for my stomach cancer tomorrow.

I thought I'd regret it...

if I end up dying.

So I told her.

You're...

getting surgery?

Right.

I was going to take it to my grave too.

But my granddaughter is friends with Do Ran.

I went to Do Ran's wedding...

and saw you.

You know how surprised I was?

How could you try to have her by your side...

and keep it to yourself?

She had no idea. Didn't you feel bad for her?

Ma'am.

This still isn't right.

You know why I couldn't tell Do Ran.

Look, Mr. Kang.

I'm the only one in the world...

who knows your secret.

I might end up dying soon.

So don't mind it...

and have her in your life.

Ma'am.

This still isn't right.

What you did is seriously wrong.

If you really cared about her,

you never should've told her.

If Do Ran...

finds out everything about me,

she will...

be miserable.

Miserable...

All right.

I just need to disappear again.

If she ever comes to you...

and asks about me again,

please tell her that you don't know...

and I'm not the one.

Please do this favour for me.

Wait, Mr. Kang!

Mr. Kang! Mr. Kang!

Where...

Where did he go in that short moment?

Oh, goodness gracious.

The phone is turned off.

The call is being forwarded...

Why is her phone turned off?

What am I supposed to do?

Is he really going to disappear like this?

Oh, no.

You could've come down when the dinner was ready.

You just came back from work. Aren't you tired?

I'm okay. You two did all the job,

and I'm just helping you to set the table.

Ms. Kim. Can you come taste the stew?

Okay.

Excuse me.

Yes.

It's hot.

It's delicious. It's not salty at all.

This much seasoning is proper.

The family doesn't like salty food.

Okay.

Does Mr. Kang have separate meals?

He used to have meals with us at first,

but these days, he eats alone in his room...

with the side dishes we make for him.

I see.

It must be more comfortable for him...

to eat alone there.

I see.

I should be more attentive to him...

since he works hard for the family.

You don't have to worry about that.

We take care of him, so don't mind any of it.

- I see. - I'm home.

So you're here.

Didn't you say...

there was a team dinner after the meeting?

My colleague had plans so we postponed it.

Do Ran.

You got many calls from Yoo Jin's grandma.

- It seemed quite urgent. - Yoo Jin's grandma?

(10 missed calls from Yoo Jin's grandma)

Let me go make a call for a second.

It's me.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

The battery was dead, so I had it recharged.

What should we do about this?

What's going on?

Do Ran, your dad found out.

I'm not sure how he found out.

He visited me right after you left.

What?

Mr. Kang found out?

Yes, he said I shouldn't have told you...

and that he'd leave for somewhere.

What should we do? Do Ran, go stop him.

Stop him...

before your dad leaves for somewhere.

Well... Okay.

No.

What happened?

No way.

Did Mr. Kang really...

I'm sorry, Madam Park and Chairman Wang.

I must leave urgently...

without saying goodbye due to a reason.

I'll call you soon in the future.

And I will repay your kindness no matter what.

Thank you for everything.

And I'm truly sorry.

No.

No... No, no.

Mr. Kang.

No... No.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang, wait.

Mr. Kang.

Dad, wait!

Dad.

Dad, don't go.

Dad.

Dad...

What do you mean, Dad? What are you doing to me?

Let me go.

I know you're my dad.

Where are you going without me again?

Please don't go.

Ms. Kim!

I'm not your dad!

Your dad is Kim Dong Chul!

I'm not your dad. So let go of me.

- Taxi! - No.

No... Dad. Dad!

Taxi.

Dad.

Do Ran...

Do Ran...

Please don't leave.

Please don't leave, Dad.

Dad...

I'm not your dad.

So don't be like this.

Dad, I know you're my dad.

I even compared our DNA.

You and I are father and daughter.

Why do you keep saying we aren't?

You were by my side all along.

Why do you keep denying it?

I'm...

I'm not your dad.

I abandoned you as a baby.

I didn't raise you...

or look for you.

How does that make me your dad?

No dad does that.

Dad.

I won't ask any questions.

And I won't blame you for anything.

So please just don't leave me.

Please don't.

You're better off without...

a dad like me.

If I stay around you,

you'll be unhappy.

That's why.

No.

I don't care if I become unhappy, Dad.

No.

It's okay if I must call you Mr. Kang forever.

So...

please don't leave, Dad.

Do Ran.

Dad.

You promised me.

That you won't go anywhere.

Answer me.

That you won't go away in secret.

Okay.

I promise.

- But... - Nothing has changed...

between you and I.

So...

we can go on as we did so far.

Let's not part.

Let's stay close to each other.

Looking at each other.

Other than...

you're my father, I don't care about anything else.

So...

don't try to explain anything.

I can understand all of it.

You and I are...

each other's only relative in this world.

Thank you.

Please enjoy the food.

It looks good.

- Eat up. - Okay.

You first.

You were in the cold.

Okay.

I forgot the chilli powder.

Do you want some chilli powder?

Slightly spicy food is good on a cold day.

That's right.

Why he had to abandon me as a baby,

until he tells me first,

I won't ask at all.

I'll pretend to ignore...

his painful past.

We met again like this...

and that's all that matters.

Am I the last one down?

Sorry.

- You're not the last one. - Where's Do Ran?

I think she went out because something came up.

You think she went out?

Did she not tell you she was leaving?

Well...

Her close friend's grandma has surgery tomorrow...

for cancer and she called about something urgent.

A close friend's grandma?

She went out to see a close friend's grandma?

Not for a close friend's mom or dad...

but for a grandma?

My gosh. That's just unbelievable.

I think they're really close, Mom.

It's possible if it's a close friend's grandma.

And the surgery is for cancer of all things.

What I'm saying is,

she's still a newlywed and the adults are home.

This is why one's upbringing is important.

- Mom. - Honey.

Okay, fine.

Enough of that tiresome topic.

Let's all eat.

- Eat, Mother. - Let's eat, Mother.

Da Ya, try this. The cockles are good.

- Okay. - You evil mistress.

What? "One's upbringing"?

Are you a mistress because you were brought up well?

- Mother! - Don't, Mother. Mother!

- Mother. - Myeong Hee is out,

so you're enjoying stuffing your brat's face?

You wench. That mistress.

- Mother. - Grandma.

- I'll just... - Grandma!

Grandma!

- Mother. - Boys!

Get them out of here.

- Mother. - Get out.

- Please, calm down. - Grandma.

Let go. They'd better not come back in here.

I'll pull all their hair out.

Dad, where's Myeong Hee?

Myeong Hee loves seasoned cockles...

and those wenches ate it all up.

Dad, where's Myeong Hee?

- Where is she? - Mother.

Dae Ryook, call Ms. Kim, I mean Do Ran. Go on.

- Okay. - Mother.

- Grandma. - Myeong Hee.

- Mother. - Where is she?

- The wenches ate it all. - He went to call her.

She'll be here soon.

Can we have more pickled radish?

- Pickled radish? - Yes.

Okay.

- Hello? - Where are you?

Grandma's looking for Myeong Hee.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Grandma's looking for Myeong Hee. I should go.

Wait. That's heavy.

- I'll carry the bag. - No, I will.

I won't go anywhere.

I promised.

- Go on inside. - You promised me.

That you won't leave me behind.

Don't worry and go inside.

Dad, what's taking Myeong Hee so long?

Is she really on her way?

Wait.

Did she get in an accident?

No, Mother, she's on her way.

- Myeong Hee. - I'm so sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Myeong Hee. Myeong Hee.

What took you so long?

Myeong Hee.

The mistress and her daughter...

almost ate up the cockles that you like so much.

The cockles?

Dad. Second-floor bachelor.

Now that Myeong Hee's here,

let's go and eat the cockles with rice.

- Let's go, Myeong Hee. - Okay.

We can't even eat in peace because of Grandma.

Shall I bring your food to your room?

There's no other choice.

You and the second-floor bachelor can join them.

How much longer must we put up with this?

I'll eat with Mom and Da Ya.

I can't let him do this.

I must stop him. I must.

Yes. You're where?

Okay, I'll be right out.

Go Rae.

- Where are you going? - To see a friend.

A friend?

Who?

A guy?

Of course.

I'll see you later.

My goodness! What do I do?

Hong Shil.

Gosh. What's wrong?

Go Rae just went out to see a guy.

I have to see who he is.

Hong Shil, I'm coming with you.

- Go Rae. - Hey.

Hey, how have you been?

I've been good.

Oh my gosh.

I think that's him!

Hong Shil.

Hong Shil.

I know you're upset, but stop crying.

Go Rae wouldn't have wanted to do that.

Just think that it's fate and accept the reality.

You are Go Rae's mom.

Even if the whole world throw stones at him,

you have to understand him.

You have to stay strong.

You can't crack up like this.

You have to keep it a secret.

Keep it to your grave.

If you tell anyone about this,

my son's life will be over.

Okay. Of course I will keep it a secret.

It's really hard to live as a sexual minority...

in this country.

I can't tell anyone.

My son, Go Rae. You poor thing.

Hong Shil, we still have to...

accept this and support his love.

Otherwise, Go Rae will have a hard time.

What should I do with Go Rae now?

Cheers.

Go Rae, how is your clinic going?

I heard it is going very well.

Not really. It's just like yours.

Gosh, I'm having such a hard time.

As we got one more dental clinic in the building,

we lost a lot of patients.

Hey, just go out and look around.

Every other building has a dental clinic.

It's just to hard for us to make ends meet.

Go Rae.

Can't you hire me as a paid doctor?

Things are so tough these days.

What are you talking about? It's all the same.

Come on. Let's just have one more round.

Excuse me. More beer please.

Okay.

(River)

All right. Cheers.

He never calls or texts me.

Even though it's contractual relationship,

shouldn't he at least text me once?

What? Is he playing a computer game again?

Yang Soon!

I'm glad you're here. Have a seat.

I love your restaurant. It's so clean and nice.

I'm so jealous.

How did you even open a branch like this?

The first restaurant went pretty well...

and I didn't need much money to open a branch.

- Really? - Yes.

You can open a restaurant once you put your mind to.

I'm looking to work hard and make some money.

Are you sure you will hire me as an employee?

Not just an employee.

Are you interested in running this restaurant?

- What? - I'm caught up with...

the first restaurant. Too busy for the second one.

But it's not like I can't ask anyone to run it.

So are you saying I'm not just an employee,

but the manager of the restaurant?

Yes.

I think I can trust you with this.

My goodness. Thank you so much.

I promise I'll make it up to you.

I will work hard as if this is my own restaurant.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, whose call are you waiting for?

- Is it that jobless guy? - No.

I think it is.

Mi Ran, you can never date a guy like him.

You may think it's just once or twice,

but you will end up falling for him.

What if he clings to you and never breaks up?

Mom, don't worry about that.

It's nothing serious.

We will just casually date and break up...

if I meet someone to marry.

That's why we are on a contractual basis.

He's a nice jobless guy. Don't worry about it.

A nice jobless guy?

Isn't a nice jobless guy also a man?

If a woman dates a wrong guy,

it will ruin her life in an instant. You know that?

Gosh, Yang Ja. Are you scolding Mi Ran again?

Aunt. I can't put up with Mom anymore.

Yang Ja. She should date a lot of guys...

before getting married.

Then she can find the right guy for marriage.

My gosh.

If you never try, you'll never know.

And a girl who dated a lot of guys finds a good guy.

All right. So is that why you met such a guy...

and ended up like this?

My goodness.

Why are you taking it out on me now?

Gosh, I'm so upset.

What's all this?

I'm a widow, and you're a divorcee.

My goodness.

So how did the job-hunting go?

Yang Ja,

I've become a manager of a pizza joint.

What? a manager?

How?

The owner of the restaurant is my friend.

And she asked me to run the branch.

It's not like I'm the owner,

but still, I'm a manager now.

Gosh, are you serious?

I won't ask you anything.

And I won't blame you for anything.

So please just don't leave me.

Who is it?

It's me.

Why are you still up at this hour?

I wanted to get you this.

What is this?

It's jujube tea.

Drink it when it's warm before going to bed.

It helps you sleep.

I heard jujube tea is good in winter.

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

But...

you can't do this again.

What if someone sees you?

Don't worry.

Everyone's asleep.

Go back to your room and sleep.

What if your husband wakes up...

and looks for you?

Don't go anywhere...

while I'm asleep.

Were you worried about that?

I promised you at the noodle restaurant.

That I'll stay with you.

Are you...

Are you sure?

Yes.

So go back and sleep.

Then...

Good night, Dad.

Do Ran.

Still...

When we are alone like this,

I'll call you Dad.

Good night, Dad.

Dad.

I've found my birth father.

You'll be happy for me, right?

What?

You surprised me.

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

Why would you sneak in?

I didn't want to wake you.

Do Ran.

Where are you coming from?

Me?

- I was at the kitchen. - What?

I was just there looking for you.

I came back up because you weren't there.

I was in the kitchen,

but I went out for air.

Is that so?

You should've waken me for some air.

You shouldn't go out by yourself at night.

All right?

All right.

But why did you wake up?

How can I go to bed without you by my side?

Okay, let's go to bed.

Let me just go brush my teeth.

Dad.

Good night.

I'm glad...

that I met you today.

It feels like I'm dreaming.

Thank you.

Good night, Do Ran.

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is.

Is Do Ran acting the lord or what?

She faints and disappears whenever.
