A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
- I'll pour you a glass. - That's very nice of you.
[no audible dialogue]
- The color is so brilliant. - [chuckles]
My parents in the US used to drink it often.
It has a nice aroma, so I have it from time to time.
That's right. You're from the US.
Yes.
Thanks to you, we're drinking wine.
[Geum-hui chuckles]
Mmm.
Jeong-suk, what are you doing there?
Come and join us. Come.
[stammers] Okay.
[Yeong-bok] There's more food than I expected.
- I'll grill meat if we run out of food. - Okay.
- Sit here. - Thank you.
[chuckles]
- Do you want wine too? - Okay.
[laughs] Gosh, unlike our glasses, Jeong-suk's glass is full.
- It's about to overflow. - [chuckling]
- That's love, not wine. [laughs] - [Ju-ri laughs]
- [Yeong-bok] Good for them. - [all chuckle]
[Yeong-bok] Such lovebirds. [chuckles]
Mr. Choi, would you give a toast before we clink our glasses?
I'm too shy to do that. Forget it.
You're today's star. Please say a few words.
A round of applause.
Let's go.
Goodness.
[exclaiming, grunting]
Goodness me.
I'd like to thank
the many honorable guests who came to the house
despite their busy schedules to celebrate my discharge from the hospital.
Thank you very much.
- All right. - Gosh.
[Won-bong] There's
an old saying…
"If you lose money, you lose a small bit."
"If you lose honor, you lose half."
"But if you lose health, you lose everything."
So, at all times,
health comes first.
I'd be thankful if you could remember that.
Cheers.
- The next important thing is-- - All right. All right.
Cheers. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers, Jeong-suk.
Why would you cut me off? I was getting in the zone.
The food was going cold.
Everyone understood your valuable message.
- [chuckles] - [Won-bong] "Valuable"?
- "Valuable." Mmm. - Right? [chuckles]
[Won-bong] This is nice. Please go ahead and eat.
[smacks lips] Ah.
- Have this. - Okay.
Yeong-bok, you're such a homemaker.
- You're so good. - [Yeong-bok chuckles]
Ms. Oh, the plates are so pretty.
[Geum-hui] Really?
[Yeong-bok] All your plates are so pretty.
My goodness.
Seriously. It looks nice like this.
He seems nicer than I expected.
- Excuse me? - I mean Detective Kim Do-hyeon.
I thought he was just taciturn.
From what I've seen today, he seems kind and warm-hearted.
You seemed really fond of him.
Is it because he's Jeong-suk's man? My heart just gets tender.
I just want to keep talking to him. [chuckles]
I'll give this to the children.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hi.
- Uh… You didn't have to. - I'm almost done cleaning up.
- [clatters] - [exclaims]
- Are you hurt? - Oh, no.
- Ah. [winces] - [Geum-hui] Oh.
My goodness. You should've been careful.
Please hold on.
I'm okay.
[wincing]
It must hurt.
It's a deeper cut than it looks.
Why didn't you listen when I told you to leave them there?
I'm sorry.
Oh, gosh.
People would think you're a mom scolding her son.
[gasps] I'm sorry. I was just startled.
I wasn't scolding you. I just feel bad for you.
[sighs] Tsk, tsk, tsk.
This cut…
Mister, would you please hang out at my place?
Min-ho, it's too late. Maybe next time.
No.
Then the three of us should play together next time.
Sure, sounds good.
What should we do?
Mmm.
Ah.
Okay. Let's do that. [chuckles]
Promise?
I promise.
Go on, it's cold.
I'll call you. Bye.
Bye.
Bye!
Bye, mister.
Bye.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Geum-hui] Jeong-suk, it's me.
Yes, Ms. Oh.
You said you needed a camera to take photos of the products.
I just found it. So don't worry about it.
Ah.
Thank you, Ms. Oh.
[chuckles] Okay. See you tomorrow.
Ms. Oh.
Yes? What is it?
Well, by any chance…
Uh, it's nothing. See you tomorrow.
What was that?
See you tomorrow.
[line beeping]
[siren wailing]
I'm glad the culprit is caught,
but you must be very disappointed.
Your search for your biological parents
went back to square one.
I'll start over.
Thanks for helping me out.
Goodness.
Tell me if you need anything.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Can't you see? We're enjoying coffee.
Why are you guys hanging out so early in the morning?
- Let's go inside. - Yes, sir.
Captain!
You used to enjoy coffee in the morning with me! Gosh, it's hot!
[Won-bong yawns]
What are you doing?
Is it broken?
I can't see anything.
Take off the lens cap.
I see.
- Can you see now? - Yes, I can see well.
How frustrating.
You know nothing about cameras, but you'll take pictures of the products?
Do you want my help?
Forget it.
You always make me look short and ugly in your photos.
No man in the world can ever satisfy women with their photos.
Geez.
That's right. Dae-geun is good at taking photos.
He studied photography at school.
My goodness, really?
Yes. Although he's a dropout,
he did study photography.
He must be better than us.
[chuckles]
[shutter clicking]
[gasping]
- My goodness. - How cool.
[whispers] Go home. I need to drop by my place first.
Okay.
What are you guys whispering about?
I'm curious too.
Well, I was just telling him
thanks for taking photos today.
I see.
- Yes. - [Yeong-bok] Is that so?
- Dae-geun, you worked hard all day long. - Ah.
Thank you.
Thank you, Dae-geun.
No, it was nothing.
Here you go.
- These are the films from earlier. - Okay.
I have plans in the evening.
I'll get going now.
- You should've had more. - It's okay.
Thank you.
- Bye. - See you later.
I'll also get going. I need to get back to the salon.
- Okay. Bye. I should get going too. - Bye.
- Ju-ri, good work today. - Okay.
[Eun-ji fussing]
So we need to develop the photos and bring them to the print shop?
Yes. I'll drop off the films at the photo studio on my way home
and pick them up tomorrow.
Shall we go together tomorrow?
I was going to finish proofreading the descriptions today anyway.
Let's take them and the photos to the print shop.
Okay. That works.
Okay.
- [Eun-ji fussing, sniffling] - Gosh, why are you so fretful today?
- Are you sick? - Let me hold the baby.
You couldn't even eat because of the baby.
Hey, Eun-ji.
All right. Let's play.
Play with me so your mom can have a snack.
Sweet baby.
- Gosh, I've had this thought for a while. - Clap your feet.
You're a wonderful babysitter.
- Really? Am I? - Yes.
[Yeong-bok] You really are.
- [Geum-hui] Do you like me? - [Yeong-bok] Seriously.
- There you go. - She usually refuses other people.
It's okay. I'll look after you.
Let your mom enjoy the snack.
[Geum-hui chuckles, cooing]
Who are you?
It's me, Dae-geun.
Ju-ri.
Wow, I didn't recognize you because you looked so different.
I changed up my style so people don't recognize me.
If I straighten my hair and wear plain clothes,
they don't recognize me.
You look very pretty in this outfit.
Well, please praise me more inside the house.
Okay.
- Let's go. - Okay. Please come inside.
My goodness.
[gasping]
I knew that Ms. Heo was rich,
but this is something else.
Oh.
What's this?
I noticed how you enjoyed wine the other day.
I took out the whiskey my mom had hidden.
Let's have a drink here first,
then I'll show you my room.
Mmm.
So you want to set the mood first.
Okay. [giggles]
Please take a seat.
Did you find me sexy? Really?
Yes.
Men look sexy when they're focusing on something. [chuckles]
You must love photography a lot.
I used to love it.
That was why I studied it in university.
Then why did you quit?
Hmm.
My parents were against it.
- Mmm. - [chuckles]
They said it was embarrassing and that it wouldn't bring in any money.
It was a lowly university anyway.
Is "lowly" the name of the university?
No. It's Geumshin University.
Mmm. [stammers]
Then why do you call it a lowly university?
Well,
all my sisters and relatives went to prestigious universities.
Mmm.
I got used to people looking down on me
and calling my school lowly.
[gasps]
[stammers] Why would they look down on you?
It's impressive.
Impressive?
Yes!
Maybe it's because I didn't go anywhere near university.
The fact that you went to university itself is incredible.
It's cool that you're a good photographer.
- It's wonderful. - [sighs]
[exclaims]
What?
[stammers]
Are you crying?
No.
[sniffles]
[gasps] No one has said that to me before.
I always thought to myself, "Why am I so pathetic?"
To someone,
I can be a cool person.
[crying]
I'm so thankful for that.
But I'm also sad.
- [continues crying] - [sighs] Don't cry.
[both sobbing]
Thank you so much.
Ah! Stop crying. You're such a crybaby.
Oh.
This is your routine, you punk.
- I mean… - [sighs]
You always cry and kiss me when I console you.
It's the same as last time.
No, it's different from last time.
Today, I won't let you lead me.
Sit still. I'll go to you.
- [grunts] - [squealing]
My goodness.
- [strains] - [screaming]
[laughing]
You're crazy.
[Yeong-ja] What are you guys doing?
Must you ask? It's obvious.
[Ju-ri gasps]
[both gasp]
Why are you here? What about the trip to China?
China? That isn't the point right now.
You little brats!
[screaming]
Eom Dae-geun! Stop right there!
You little punk!
Stop right there, you punk!
You brat. Stop right there!
[exclaiming]
- Oh, no. - [both scream]
Mom, hear me out!
- Stop! - Hold tight!
[both scream]
[panting]
You little punk! I got you!
You little punks!
I'm the one you need to talk to. Why is Ju-ri here?
[animal growls]
[sighs] I'll cut to the chase.
Break up.
- Mom. - [scoffs]
Could this be…
[scoffs]
COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT
It's a lease agreement.
Yes.
If you won't break up, move out immediately.
[gasps] You're being ridiculous.
Ridiculous? How so?
You dared to seduce my son.
How could you say that it's ridiculous?
You could be angry with me,
but this is about my livelihood.
How dare you glare at me and talk back to me? [grunts]
[exhales sharply]
[sighs]
Stop watching dramas.
- You punk, be quiet! - I won't!
You always threatened to disown me.
Don't act like I'm your precious son.
You little…
You've just gone too far!
Out of all women in the world, how--
Seriously!
You can mistreat me all you want, but I won't let you mistreat Ju-ri!
[Yeong-ja stammers]
My son, did you just yell at me?
Are you so crazy about this lousy woman with a child?
She isn't lousy.
In my entire life, you've never given me validation.
She told me that I was enough and that I was cool.
She acknowledged me for who I am.
I feel like I can do anything when I'm by Ju-ri's side.
I want to become a better person because she believes in me!
So… [panting]
Ju-ri,
don't abandon me.
I love you.
[crying]
[Ju-ri] Me too.
I love you too.
Don't cry.
Seriously. Why are you crying again?
You silly crybaby. You fool.
My goodness, what an eyesore.
[both crying]
My goodness.
[Jeong-suk] Gosh, they came out better than I expected.
He sure is an expert.
To be honest, I was a bit nervous because he made such a fuss taking them.
Actually, me too.
I'm hungry.
Shall we eat before going to the print shop?
- Mmm. Okay. - [chuckles]
Oh.
[Geum-hui] Detective.
Are you on the clock?
Yes, I just wrapped up.
It's lunchtime. Why don't you join us for lunch?
We're on our way to eat.
Shall we?
Let's go.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Enjoy the food.
That's a lot of pepper.
Well, I like pepper.
Oh, Detective, you must like pepper too.
Yes.
I carry pepper with me because I feel bad for the restaurants.
My goodness. I do the same.
[chuckles] People say that I won't be able to taste the soup
if I sprinkle so much pepper.
- Doesn't it heighten the taste? - Exactly!
[chuckling]
What is it? Do you think it's weird I add so much pepper?
No.
[chuckles]
It's good to see you eat with gusto.
Did you have breakfast?
No. I normally skip breakfast.
Your parents are abroad.
It must be a hassle to cook for yourself.
You don't seem to live so far from my place.
Come over when cooking feels like a hassle.
Eating out all the time will ruin your health.
Okay, I'll do that.
It's okay. Please eat.
By the way…
[stammers]
…you told me that you excluded Ms. Oh early on.
May I ask you why?
What?
Oh.
Oh. Um…
It's just that watching you spend more time with Ms. Oh
got me curious.
The timeline didn't add up.
Ms. Oh Geum-hui got married and followed her husband to Geumje
about 20 years ago.
Before that, she had no connection in Geumje.
I see.
Besides, I saw she received treatments
for infertility for many years at the Geumje OB-GYN Clinic.
It'd be very nice, though.
What?
If I find my mother someday,
I wish she'd be warmhearted and cheerful like Ms. Oh.
You know…
There's something I need to tell you.
- You're home. - Yes.
Why are you so gaunt?
Don't even ask.
Dae-geun suddenly called off work due to an emergency.
I'm exhausted from working all day.
Really? I wonder what happened.
In any case, cheer up.
Your favorite dish, fried chicken will be delivered soon.
Fried chicken?
The last episode of Jealousy airs today, so let's watch it as we eat.
That's right. It's today.
What time is it? It'll be on soon.
Choi Soo-jong and Choi Jin-sil.
They'll become a couple like us, right?
I bet they'll break up.
- What? That can't happen. - Let's see.
[doorbell ringing]
The fried chicken is here. I'll get it.
[cheering, vocalizing]
[Won-bong] ♪ Fried chicken is here ♪
♪ Tasty fried chicken is finally here… ♪
Honey.
I think there's a problem.
What? Is something wrong with the fried chicken?
No, it isn't about the fried chicken.
Geum-hui.
What? Ju-ri, what are you…
[breathes heavily]
Hello.
Please excuse me.
[Won-bong] Well…
[people chatting on TV]
So, the two of you are dating,
and Ms. Heo caught you guys being all lovey-dovey.
I get why she's mad,
but she shouldn't have kicked you guys out right away.
I thought she was just trying to scare us.
But she acted right away.
Min-ho's grandma seems to be around at Jeong-suk's quite a lot.
May I please stay here until I find a new room?
Of course--
I'm not sure about it.
What?
Ms. Heo is firmly against this relationship.
If she finds out that you're staying here, I'll be put in a tight spot.
Mr. Choi, that's so cold of you.
Goodness.
Is it my mom or me?
I can't believe you. We've gone through a lot together.
Still, I choose Ms. Heo.
Seriously, please help us out just for a few days.
I'll try to persuade Mom, okay?
Honey.
[sighing] Geez.
I made it. It's nothing big.
[Do-hyeon gasps]
[chuckles]
Is it a mouse? It's very cute.
It's a rabbit.
It's a signature of mine.
Many people mistake it for a mouse.
[sighs]
[Jeong-suk] Eat anchovies too.
Mom, are we meeting up with the police officer this evening?
Yes.
But I'll need to check later.
I don't know if he's okay.
Why? Did something happen to him?
No.
Mmm. Min-ho, did you pack clay for your class today?
Yes.
I'll make a cat today.
What did Dong-u say that he'd make?
[Won-bong] I'm so frustrated.
Hey, are you done yet?
It's been over 20 minutes. When will you come out?
[stomach rumbling]
[Dong-u] I'm sorry. It takes me a while in the morning.
[exclaims]
I'm about to soil my pants. Oh, no.
This is driving me insane.
Honey, use the bathroom on the second floor.
I know there's a bathroom on the second floor, okay?
But I've used that toilet all my life.
My butt will be so upset.
You're being dramatic.
- Man, I can't hold it anymore. - What?
You can go in now.
What? Did you read a magazine while using the bathroom?
Yes. Catching up on world affairs while using the bathroom
is my morning routine.
How could an eight-year-old have such a routine?
- [farts] - Oh.
[gasps]
The smell tells me that you have no time to talk.
Go on in.
[grunts]
I think it came out.
Honey, please bring me new underwear.
[exclaiming]
- Dong-u, let's go and eat breakfast. - Okay.
You should eat it.
No, sir. A nonpaying lodger shouldn't be so shameless.
Please go ahead and eat.
Where did you learn a word like "nonpaying lodger"?
How could you eat it for real?
He ate five out of seven meatballs!
I'm not even allowed to have two?
I'm sorry. He isn't considerate to kids.
It's okay. Dong-u did eat a lot.
- Dong-u, pack your bag if you're done. - Okay.
- Thank you for the food. - You're welcome.
I'm heading off too!
[whimpering]
Meatballs…
I need to get going now.
I need to find a new place for the hair salon.
It must be hard.
Leave it there, Ju-ri. It's okay, so get going.
Thank you.
[exclaims]
It's so dirty.
[colleague] Nice. How did you know that?
Detective Kim, do you want corn?
What are you doing?
How dare you ignore Captain? What were you thinking about?
Captain, I'm sorry.
May I get off work early? There's something I need to check.
Sure. Go ahead.
[doorbell ringing]
Is black tea okay?
Yes.
What is it that you want to ask me?
Is it about Jeong-suk?
No, it isn't.
I think it'll be better to show you.
What's this?
This…
Why is this…
It's what I was wearing when I got adopted by an American family.
On it,
I saw the same embroidery that was on the handkerchief you gave me.
So I wanted to ask you for an explanation.
Well…
I don't know.
- What? - I don't know.
Detective, I…
In any case,
I don't know who you're looking for, but I can't help you.
Bye.
Please wait.
[front door opens]
[door closes]
Honey, I'm home!
You're home earlier than I expected.
Yes.
I brought some meat from the butcher shop.
It's for meatballs, okay?
Make a lot this time.
I don't want to compete with the kid again.
Okay.
There's something else.
[chuckles]
Here.
What's this?
Open it.
For our wedding anniversary,
I bought you a scarf but only made your heart ache.
So I bought a new one.
When I met you for the first time, you were wearing a scarf.
You looked so elegant and beautiful.
I thought, "I'll marry this woman
and make her happy for the rest of her life."
[chuckles]
Why the long face? Don't you like it?
[exhales sharply] Oh.
It isn't like that. I like it.
What do you think? Does it look nice?
Gosh, you look beautiful. [chuckles]
You haven't changed at all.
Nonsense.
Go wash up. I'll prepare dinner.
Okay. [chuckles]
The little one must've made a mess,
but the house is still sparkling clean. [chuckles]
How did you know that it was easier to catch marsh snails at night?
Grandma told me.
Yes! I caught two.
[Min-ho grunts]
How about you, mister?
I haven't caught any yet.
Mister, is it your first time?
Yes, it's my first time.
Didn't you catch them with your parents when you were little?
No.
Oh. Min-ho, he grew up in the US.
You can teach him well, right?
Yes.
Mister, watch.
There are slippery bits like this.
- You can find many of them on those. - Okay.
It's because these parts have been untouched.
- A part like this? - Yes.
Hold on.
I caught them, right?
Put them here.
So this is how you do it.
Min-ho, this is fun.
Shall we see who can catch more?
That sounds good.
I won't go easy on you just because it's your first time.
Okay. Ready, set, go.
Here.
Okay, I got them.
See how many I got, right? One, two, three.
- What? - Right?
Catch them.
Min-ho, come on out already.
Okay. Let me catch five more.
I met up with her today.
Ms. Oh?
She became very startled upon seeing the baby clothes.
She said she didn't know anything.
[sighs] It looked like she didn't want to admit it.
- [grunts] - [water splashes]
You should've rested at home today.
I'd imagined meeting my mother hundreds of times.
In my imagination, I wasn't always welcomed.
Perhaps because of that,
I feel better than I expected.
Mister, I won.
No way.
- [Do-hyeon] Are you certain? - Of course, I am.
Let's see.
- [Do-hyeon] What? - [Min-ho] Look.
Gosh, you caught so many.
Just how many did you catch? One, two, three, four, five, six…
Mom.
Please cook sujebi tomorrow with the marsh snails I caught with him.
Okay.
[phone ringing]
Sleep tight, my son.
Okay. Good night, Mom.
Okay.
Hello?
Hey, Ju-ri.
Yes. The brochure will be ready around 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Let's meet at the print shop.
I see. I'll relay the news to Geum-hui.
Okay.
Jeong-suk said we should meet at the print shop at 11:00 a.m.
Do I really have to go?
Why? You put the most amount of effort into it.
That's right. Didn't you say that it'd be the busiest day?
Are you feeling unwell?
- Open your mouth. - It isn't like that.
I was just asking.
Keeping yourself well-fed sure is a chore.
All of you guys are working hard without getting much rest.
My goodness, where did you learn an idiom like that?
September issue of Jubu Life.
- [chuckles] - Help yourself.
[Ju-ri] You're also working hard reading magazines. [chuckles]
- Is it tasty? - [Won-bong] Eat up.
SEONGGWANG PRINT SHOP
- [Yeong-bok] Girls! - [Jeong-suk] Hello.
Welcome.
- You're here. - Yes.
The brochure looks amazing.
[gasps] It looks incredible.
I'll be upset if someone throws it away on the street.
We should emphasize the fact that there's a coupon in the last page.
Why don't we distribute them as teams of two?
We can be a team.
Ms. Oh and Jeong-suk can be a team.
Wouldn't it be faster to do it separately?
Right.
Shall we do that, Ms. Branch Manager?
Okay. Let's do it separately and meet at the office to take calls.
- Okay. - Okay. Good luck!
- I'll take this. Let's go. - Gosh.
- See you later! - Bye.
RESERVATION LIST VIBRATOR 1, LOVE GEL 1, CONDOM 1
The brochure has worked wonders.
Right, Geum-hui?
What? Yes.
I know, right?
Imagine how difficult it would be to sell all those in person.
- Well done, everyone. - Yes.
A get-together would be perfect.
But I need to check out a unit for my salon today.
I need to go and take care of the children.
The girls are babysitting Eun-ji.
After I find a new place, let's go out for a drink.
Dae-geun and the detective too.
It was so nice the other day.
What do you think?
Okay.
You're in too, right?
Of course, she is.
Ms. Oh seemed really fond of the detective.
Right?
Right.
Everyone is busy, right? Let's get going now.
- Okay. I'll get going. - Bye.
- Okay.
Please check the alibis of the two suspects.
Yes, sir.
Please wait.
Let me ask you a question…
one last time.
Why…
Why did you abandon me?
It's no special story.
I dated recklessly and got pregnant by mistake.
I was scared of what others would think
and didn't want to take responsibility.
You must've expected a heartrending story, but that's all.
So…
don't get so hung up on it
and move on with your life.
As I have so far,
I want to live quietly.
Okay.
I understand perfectly.
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Ju-ri] I'm back.
Hmm?
Geum-hui.
Oh, hey.
What are you so deep in thought about?
[sighs] It's nothing.
By the way, Dong-u fell asleep while watching a movie with my husband,
so I put him to bed.
[gasps] Thank you.
You came later than I expected.
I can't find a good unit. [sighs]
It looks like Ms. Heo told the estate agents about me.
They wouldn't even show me properties.
Perhaps I should move to Oksan.
It must be hard.
Oksan?
Yes.
I really don't want to start over in another town.
At first, settling down here was so hard.
Really?
Customers would praise me for my hairdressing skills
and stop coming upon finding out that I was a single mom.
It was so exhausting since they pointed fingers at me.
It must've been hard.
Raising a child alone couldn't have been easy.
It wasn't easy.
When I got pregnant with Dong-u,
the father ignored me.
My parents were against me having him.
That was why I moved out and settled down here.
[sighs]
Nothing was easy.
I cried a lot.
But when I cried, people looked down on me.
That was why I began to laugh more.
I thought, "Let's just laugh and say what's on my mind."
Have you ever regretted…
your decision?
Hmm.
No, never.
At first, I laughed to seem strong.
But raising Dong-u
has given me so many things to laugh about.
[door opens]
Mom.
- My Dong-u, you're awake. - Yes.
- Did you have a bad dream? - Yes.
It's okay. Let's sleep together.
I heard that you watched a fun movie with Mr. Choi today.
What did you watch?
[Do-hyeon] Why…
Why did you abandon me?
Okay.
I understand perfectly.
[phone ringing]
- [grunts] - [ringing continues]
[sighs]
[line ringing]
Do-hyeon.
[Do-hyeon exhaling heavily]
Do-hyeon!
What's wrong?
[gasps] You're burning up.
One moment.
[sighs]
Why didn't you call me when you're so sick?
Are you getting angry at a sick person?
No.
Things are hard, right?
I'll get better soon. You don't need to worry.
I won't.
When I first learned about your story,
my heart ached, and I felt bad for you.
The one and only dependable ally who'll never change.
I realized you didn't have that.
However,
I don't feel sorry for you at all now.
I can be that person.
I'll be that person.
We're out of medicine. Let me go to the pharmacy.
Get some shut-eye.
Here's the order form.
Thanks. I'm sorry that I made you come here.
- It's okay. - Man, I've got to hurry.
Hello.
[Won-bong] Do you need something?
Yes.
I think it's sickness due to fatigue. Can you get me fever medicine and such?
What? You look fine.
Who's sick? Min-ho?
No.
Is the detective sick?
Yes.
How did such a young man get sick?
Please wait.
Wait.
Ms. Oh.
Well…
Is he very sick?
His fever broke.
You know, right?
I know
that you must resent me and think I'm cold-hearted.
I don't know enough about you to have such thoughts.
I don't think that way.
I was flustered.
It's been way too long.
I wanted to ask him how his life has been.
But what's the point?
I thought it'd be best to live separately as we have so far.
In any case, he grew up to be an upright and respectable man.
Remember what happened with the owner of the video rental shop?
Detective Kim was
after the culprit because he thought that he was a victim of that case.
He believed that he got kidnapped as a baby
and that his parents must be looking for him desperately.
For many years, he thought that he was abandoned.
But he thought that it might not be the case
and got hopeful.
Do-hyeon
did grow up to be an upright and respectable man.
But he desperately waited to meet his mom for many years.
I don't know what to do.
My husband doesn't know anything.
He has lived in ignorance all his life,
but if
he finds out that I had a baby before marrying him, he'd--
[Dae-geun] Mr. Choi, what are you doing there?
[sighs]
So you have
a son.
And it's that detective.
Yes.
I only just found out recently.
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
I should've told you. [crying]
Was that why you didn't want a child?
In my life,
whenever I felt your sincere love for me,
my heart broke.
I thought about
how betrayed you'd feel upon learning the truth.
I thought that you'd abandon me forever.
I did have a hunch.
What?
[sighs]
- [switch clicks] - [door opens]
Where were the pliers?
Living in a house comes with so much work.
Perhaps we should move. Are they in here?
What's this?
Is it a traditional cookie box?
I think it was just after our wedding.
Among your belongings,
I found baby clothes and a plushie.
I thought they weren't just nothing.
You didn't want a baby because you wanted to live like a modern woman.
But whenever you saw a baby,
you got teary.
I thought
there must be a story.
Then… [sniffles]
Then why…
Why didn't I say anything?
Must you ask?
It seemed like you wanted to keep it buried.
There was no other reason.
So,
if you're being hesitant because of me,
you don't need to be.
Honey.
You know,
my life has always been complete because I had you.
I mean it.
- [sobbing] - [exclaims]
You must've struggled by yourself all these years.
Don't cry.
Stop crying.
You'll turn 60 soon, but you still cry like a little girl.
- [sobbing continues] - It's okay.
[humming]
Are you okay?
Is this…
What are you doing here?
There's something I want to say.
I feel like…
I didn't get to say what I really wanted to tell you.
I'm sorry.
[whimpers]
I'm sorry.
It's all Mommy's fault.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
[sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
[Won-bong] About Do-hyeon, tell him to come by often.
He should start eating his mom's tasty dishes.
[Hyeon-sik] You don't have much time. It's next week.
You'll be transferred to the Cold Cases Team.
It's so sudden.
[Won-bong] It has been a few days.
Ms. Heo asked me to kick him out of the pharmacy as well,
but I'm stalling time.
- [crying] - [Ju-ri] I'll end the relationship.
But there's a condition.
[Yeong-bok] What does that mean?
What should we do?
[crying] I don't know when we will be able to sell it again!
