01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Ms. Park, I'd like a word with you.

With me?

Mr. Lee, I deeply apologize
for my actions yesterday.

When I found out that Jae-ni was missing,

I was so worried and shocked
that I spoke without filtering my words.

-It won't happen again.
-Follow me inside.

Ms. Park, have a seat.

Sure.

Ms. Jo, please serve Ms. Park's tea first.

Okay.

Ms. Park, please have some tea.

Okay.

Don't be nervous.

I didn't bring you here to criticize you.

Sorry?

Ms. Park.

Thank you.

If it weren't for you,

I never would've known
what Jae-ni was going through.

And you were right about what you said

last night.

You spoke nothing but the truth.

I thought I was being attentive,

but that wasn't true.

I've been

too indifferent toward my children.

Ms. Park,

I need your help.

My help? In what way?

I'd like to get closer to my kids,

but I don't know how.

They don't easily open up to people,

but you managed it in a short time.

So I'd like you to help me

get closer to my children.

Sure. I'd love to.

Then,

am I not fired?

Why would I fire you?
You're doing a great job.

I'd like for you to continue
to get along with them.

Okay. I will. I'll try harder.

By the way, Ms. Park.

Yes?

I know it's important
to keep your promise to the kids,

but I want you to share
everything about them

with me from now on

so I'll be able to know more about them.

Okay. I'll do that.

Speaking of which,

it can be a hassle,

but please keep a record
of what happened with them

and report it to me every day.

Okay. I'll be sure to do that.

Thank you so much.

Ms. Park, can we play a game here

before I go to kindergarten?

Se-jong, I'm afraid we can't today.

Just one game, please.

Then let's do it later on your way home.

If you play it now, you'll be late.

Okay. Promise you'll let me play later.

Okay.

Yes! I'm so excited.

Ms. Park.

Can we talk?

Sure.

What did you talk about
with Chairman Lee earlier?

It was about work.

About work?

Be more specific.

Chairman Lee said
he had been inattentive to the kids

and that he wanted to pay
more attention to them.

So he asked me to report to him

about the children every day.

Ms. Park,

while we're on the subject,

why did you not tell me about Jae-ni?

Well…

I promised Jae-ni
that I wouldn't tell anyone,

so I couldn't tell you.

I see.

It's important to keep
your promise to the kids.

But what if you keep that promise

and something happens
to Jae-ni or the boys?

Who will be responsible for it?

The responsibility falls on the adults.

That's exactly why
we hired a live-in tutor.

Being young and all, you seem
quite slow on picking things up

but report to me as well

on everything regarding the children.

Okay. I will.

You may go now.

Yes.

She still has a lot to learn.

Well, it's better to have someone naive

than someone sly.

Do you not have

any feelings for me at all?

To me, you're

a good friend.

You always have been,

you still are,

and you will continue to be one.

Hey. Guk-hee.

Guk-hee. Are you really leaving me?

Do you have to do this to me?

It's not like I'm leaving for good.
Don't be dramatic.

I'll just stay at Eun-yeong's
in Hawaii for a while.

Hey. Listen.

I'll go to Hawaii with you, then.

Mi-sook, I'll be traveling around.

I won't just stay in Hawaii.

I just need some time alone.

Don't worry.

Guk-hee.

Then,

don't be gone for too long.

Okay.

This is so upsetting.

Why did it have to be
Young-kuk of all men?

All right. Now that you're leaving,

if you find anyone nice and handsome,

date him, no matter where he's from. Okay?

Okay. I'll try.

CHAIRMAN LEE YOUNG-KUK

Hey, Guk-hee.

What? Where are you going?

I'm going to Hawaii.

I won't be able to see you for a while.

What are you going there for?

I'm staying at a friend's place.

I want to go surfing

and get some fresh air.

Good for you. Have a safe trip.

Call me when you get there.

Okay.

Don't cry even if you miss me.

You take care too.

Ms. Park.
You didn't forget your promise, did you?

Of course not, Mr. Se-jong.

-But it has to be just one game, okay?
-Yes.

All right. Go up. Push it.

-This is mine.
-Oh, no.

This is mine. I'll take it.

No. It's for me.

Follow me. It's going well.

Se-jong.

Ms. Park.

My gosh!

What are you doing here with Se-jong?

The thing is…

We were on our way home…

After kindergarten…

Dad.

I asked Ms. Park

to let me play one game.

Ms. Park.

Did you let him do it
just because he asked?

Aren't you supposed to teach him

that he shouldn't play things like this?

Why are you playing it with him?

Do you do this with Se-jong every day?

Dad, don't scold her.

Ms. Park said no, but I pestered her.

Se-jong,
who said you could do things like this?

Playing games on the street is bad.

But all the other kids are doing it.

So why can't I?

You have to listen to me.
This is a bad thing.

It's not bad. It's fun.

I hate you, Dad!

Se-jong.

What…

-Hey, Mom.
-Jun-o.

I'm really lonely and sad right now.

Guk-hee went off to Hawaii
all of a sudden.

I'm so scared to be alone
in this huge house.

Mom, I'm late for class. I'm hanging up.

Hello?

He just hung up on me.

That ungrateful brat.

What? It's the realtor.

Hello?

What? What did you say?

My apartment, Room 101,
was put up for lease?

Who?

It's my apartment.
Who put it up for lease?

Your friend who lives in Unit 101.

She told me to talk to you
since she's just a tenant.

Didn't you know?

Did you two fight?

My gosh. Did she really…

Am I her maid?

She keeps calling me,
telling me to do this and that.

I'd rather move out.

My gosh.

What do you want?

Did you put this house up for lease?

You told me to leave.

When?

You said
you couldn't live with me anymore.

Doesn't that mean I must move out?

So you put this place up for lease
without a word?

I'm leaving because you told me to,

so that's that. Now get out.

Do you have any money?

Where in Seoul will you move to
without any money?

Hey.

Do you think
there won't be a place for me to go?

Stop being so conceited
just because you have some money.

My goodness.
When did I brag about having money?

Didn't you?

You said
that my Sa-ra didn't know her place.

And you looked down on us.

So why was your amazing
and smart sister Guk-hee

rejected by Chairman Lee?

Goodness. Can you call yourself my friend?

How could you say
something like that to me?

My sister left Korea
because she felt so hurt.

She left?

You evil brat.

Fine. I get what you mean.

I'll find another tenant.

You can leave. I won't stop you!

My gosh.

She left the country at her age

just because she was rejected by a guy?

Should I not have said I'd move out?

No.

I might not have much, but I have pride.

I can't live with that brat anymore!

I won't!

I'm leaving.

Goodness.

Were you all waiting for me?

I said I would skip dinner
because I'm on a diet.

Eat up.

It's because of Se-jong.

He's upset and refuses to eat.

Gosh. What's up with him?

My goodness.

The kid is going
on a hunger strike already?

What is he upset about?

I'll talk to him and bring him.

Yes, do that. Things get sorted out
when Ms. Jo gets to it, right?

The rest of you can start eating.

I said I'm not going to eat.
Why do you keep asking me?

I don't want to eat with Dad.

Se-jong, don't do this.

Dad always does whatever he wants.

He never listens to me. It's so tiring.

Go tell him that
I won't ever eat with him again.

Lee Se-jong. You're going too far.

Why are you scolding me, Ms. Jo?

I don't want to talk to you.

You're just the same as Dad.

Get out of my room.

Did Se-jong really say
he wouldn't eat with me?

Yes. I think you should eat without him.

I'll make sure he eats later
when he feels better.

Jae-ni, Se-chan. Let's eat.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Lee Se-jong. Can we talk?

If you won't let me play arcade games,

I won't talk to you.

I won't eat either.

Se-jong.

Do you really want a scolding?

I don't want to talk to you.

My friends' dads buy them gaming consoles

and even play games with them.

Just like Jae-ni said,
you're a narrow-minded dictator!

What?

Sir.

When you told me you wanted to
communicate with the kids

and grow closer to them,
didn't you mean it?

I did mean it.

I did, but what's wrong is wrong.

Kindergarten kids these days
communicate by playing games,

and they sometimes make friends that way.

I'm against letting them

play too often and lose control,

but if you let him

play games three times a week…

Three times a week?

That's too often. No way.

Sir. Se-jong won't even drink any water.

What if he ends up getting sick?

Then tell him he can play once a week.

I can't allow any more than that.

Once a week isn't enough.

How about…

twice a week?

I can't talk to Se-jong for anything less.

Fine. Twice a week.

You're letting him play
twice a week, right?

Really? My dad really said that?

Yes. He'll let you play games
twice a week.

That's great!

-Are you pleased?
-Yes, I am.

Then will you go downstairs
and have dinner?

Yes.

Dad. Keep your word
and let me play games twice a week.

I will. It's a deal between men.

But you can't play more than twice.

Okay. A deal between men.

A deal between men?

It's good to hear laughter
after a long time.

Since you finished your dinner,

-will you have this now?
-Okay.

You're a good boy.
You'll grow to be really tall.

I will. I'll be as tall as Dad.

Then you'll have to eat well

and have that every day too, okay?

Okay.

You have something to say?

Yes. It's about Se-jong.

Go on, then.

Sir. Letting Se-jong play arcade games

twice a week outdoors on the dirty street

doesn't sound right.

I know what you're concerned about.

I thought so too.

But I don't think

we can force our ideas on kids
to control them.

Pardon?

From what Ms. Park told me,

kids these days make friends

and communicate with them through games.

We can't prevent that completely.

You saw for yourself
how strongly Se-jong retaliated.

That's…

I'll try talking to Se-jong again.

No, don't.

I don't want to push him
and damage our relationship.

I also think twice a week
isn't that bad at all.

-But, sir--
-Ms. Jo.

I'd like you to focus
on running the house.

I'll handle the kids now.

Okay, then. I understand.

Why are you scolding me, Ms. Jo?

I don't want to talk to you.

You're just the same as Dad.

Get out of my room.

He talks to me that way
because I'm not his mom.

For Se-jong's sake,

I'll do what it takes to become
the lady of the house.

I'll do whatever it takes.

I'm off to school.

Se-chan, wait.

Why?

Hats should be worn properly.

I'll get going.

That rascal.

As a dad, shouldn't you know
how kids like to dress?

Wearing caps to the side
is the trend these days.

-I'll get going too.
-Jae-ni.

How about a ride to school?

What's gotten into you today?

Gosh. What's with the cold shoulder?

Se-jong, why don't you take
your dad's car to school?

-Okay.
-Really?

All right.
I'll drop you off at your kindergarten.

Got it. I'm off to kindergarten!

Let's go.

Ever since you came to live with us,
the kids have gotten merrier.

Really?

Yes, really. Especially Se-jong.

He laughs as often as
when his mother was alive.

It makes me happy to see him like that.

Thank you for saying that, Ms. Yeoju.

I hope you'll keep taking good care
of the little prince of this family.

Sure thing.

I still remember it
as if it were yesterday.

Their late mother adored Se-jong, you see.

He was adopted,
but she loved him with all her heart.

Se-jong was adopted?

As per her request, she and the chairman

brought Se-jong into this family.

As I said, he was adopted.

I had no idea.

Of course.
The chairman was against it at first,

but his late wife insisted.

Now he treats Se-jong like one of his own.

He and his late wife are admirable people.

Ms. Yeoju!

Ms. Yeoju, are you out of your mind?

Have you gone crazy?

Who says that Se-jong was adopted?

I didn't mean to…

Se-jong is the chairman's son!

Understand?

Yes, of course. I understand.

Do you want to get fired? Is that it?

Should I fire you, then?

If the chairman got wind of this,

he'd fire you in a heartbeat!

Is that really what you want?

Ms. Jo, I hear you.

I'm sorry. I won't mention it again.

Ms. Park, listen to me carefully.

I'll say this once again.

Se-jong wasn't adopted.
He is the chairman's son.

So what Ms. Yeoju said just now…

You haven't heard anything.

Got it?

I… Yes.

Ms. Yeoju!

How dense can Ms. Yeoju be?

If she blabbers such nonsense again,

I'll make her pay.

-Nice!
-That was amazing.

It was nothing.

By the way,

I heard the wife of Miso Steel's CEO
was a member here.

Yes, she comes by sometimes.

Speak of the devil.

There she comes.

-Is that her?
-Yes.

Gosh, she's quite young and elegant.

Could you perhaps make
an introduction for me?

I hear the family might be hosting
a wedding soon.

That's ridiculous.

My son is seeing a young lady,

but they haven't met for long.

How did the two meet?

While jogging in Central Park.

It's like a scene from a movie.
How romantic.

Could "Central Park" be the club's name?

Of course. How could she possibly say

that they met dancing at a club

like some commoner?

My daughter saw them at a restaurant once

and was amazed by
how good they looked together.

She said his girlfriend's prettier
than any celebrity out there.

My Se-ryeon does take after me
in terms of her beauty.

I haven't seen her myself,

but I'm looking forward
to meeting her soon.

Ms. Wang, didn't you say

that your daughter
was going on a blind date?

How did it go?

She must hurry if she's 36 already.

But 36 is still a young age these days.

As it turns out,
she's dating someone as well.

She said she'd introduce me to him,
so I'm waiting.

There's no need to be stuck-up.

You should know that your son

is head over heels for my daughter.

Let's get along, future in-law.

It's me. Where are you right now?

Are you with him right now?

Yes, we're out on a date.

What's this about?

I see. You're out on a date?

Well, have fun
and don't get into any fights.

Of course.

Did you call me just to say that?

No, of course not.

I think it'd be better
to make introductions

to each family first, so your relationship

will become serious.

Mom, we agreed to take it slow!

Okay, fine.

Se-ryeon, wait a second.

The club where you two first met…

Is it called Central Park?

Mom, what are you talking about?

Oh, it's nothing. Have fun.

I see they're still going strong.

My goodness.
Do I already need another brow lift?

Mr. Park, can you take me
to my plastic surgeon?

-Of course.
-Why does my face keep sagging?

How annoying.

Unbelievable.

I already bought something similar.

That's not it.

It reminded me of my mom.

My mom loves this style.

Then buy it.

No, maybe next time. I was only looking.

Why would you say that?

What's the matter with you?

Do you still not get it?

I told you,

my money is your money.

And your mom is like a mother to me too.

Se-ryeon.

Why do you always make me so touched?

It drives me crazy.

Stop it.

I must truly be in love with you.

My gosh. I love you so much.

What's this smell?

It smells like instant noodles.

That's odd. Why do I smell
instant noodles here?

It really is instant noodles.

Is Mr. Park making himself a bowl?

Mr. Park, are you inside?

Darn, that's hot.

No, wait.

Mr. Park left this morning
to drive Ms. Wang around,

so no one should be home.

Then why do I smell instant noodles
from an empty house?

Is there someone inside?

What on earth? Could it be a ghost?

My gosh!

Gosh, that darn brat.

Did she smell the instant noodles?

I almost had a heart attack.

I won't get caught, will I?

Ms. Park!

What is it? Is something wrong?

Ms. Park, it's so strange.
I mean, the annex out back.

The annex? What about it?

Mr. Park left this morning
to drive Ms. Wang around,

so no one should be home.

But I smelled instant noodles
coming from the unit!

Instant noodles? That's absurd.

Tell me about it.
It's right next to the road,

so why would I smell
instant noodles there?

It's just so weird and scary.

Ms. Park, come with me.

Come on.

Ms. Park, you smell
instant noodles too, right?

I'm not sure.

I think I can smell it,

but then again, maybe not.

It smells less than before.

But it really is
the smell of instant noodles.

I don't think so.

Ms. Park, is your nose clogged?
Do you have rhinitis?

Is someone in there?

Ms. Park,

do you think

we could have a squatter like in movies?

No way.

Right? Mr. Park would never.

Could a ghost have
made instant noodles then?

I can't even go in and check.
How frustrating!

Dan-dan will throw a fit over this.

That darn fox has a really good nose.

How on earth
did she smell instant noodles?

Mom, you almost got caught!

How could you cook instant noodles
when Dad isn't home with you?

I knew it.

How clueless can you be?

What if you get caught?
What would they think of Dad?

If you're only going to be a nuisance,

go and stay at a sauna instead.

Why are you hiding there anyway?
Are you a criminal?

What? A criminal?

How dare she?

How dare you write such a thing?
A criminal?

How can you say that to your mom?

I'm not hiding there because I want to.

It's because I have nowhere to go.

Of course, you do.

You can stay at a sauna.

How can you cook instant noodles

that people can smell a mile away?

Dad has it rough already, but all you do

is make life harder for him.

What? How dare you?

What did I do that was so wrong?

I cooked some instant noodles
because I was hungry.

What's so wrong with that?

The instant noodles aren't the issue here.

Don't you feel bad for Dad?

He works his fingers to the bone
for this family.

If you had a conscience,

you'd at least get a job
washing dishes at a diner.

I may be a mother who brings trouble,

but you can't do this to me.

You're doing this

because g*n and Dae-beom
lost the money our family had.

Right, they made us lose our apartment

and the deposit we had.

But they didn't do that on purpose!

Your uncle g*n doted on you

and gave you piggyback rides
whenever he could.

Imagine how hard it must be
for him and your grandma.

I don't even know if they're still alive.

It breaks my heart
just thinking about them.

I don't care.

Just don't make it harder on Dad.

This is what I get for raising her?

Remember this.

You will regret what you just said,
you darn brat.

Don't you dare call me
your mother ever again!

Dae-beom…

Why did you have to
cook instant noodles there?

She must've been worried

you might get caught
and be accused of being scammers.

You wouldn't have yelled at me
like she did, though.

"Be careful next time.

If you're hungry, I'll buy you a meal."

That's what you would've said.

That's true.

My dear Yeon-sil.
You're the love of my life, Mom.

You know that Dan-dan
can be a brat sometimes.

Right?

She's not some ordinary brat.
She's the worst!

Hold on.

-Hey.
-What?

Dae-beom, these look like clothes
from designer brands.

They look high-end.

Those dress shoes are from a luxury brand!

They don't seem fake.

You look so different.

It's like you're from a wealthy family.

Is that so? Do I look good in these?

Yes, it's nice to see you this way…

But how did you afford them?

What's going on?

Did you perhaps…

Don't worry, Mom.
I didn't do anything ill*gal.

Are you sure?
You're not doing anything shady?

Mom, what do you take me for?

Right, of course.

No matter how tough life is,

you should always live honestly.

"You shouldn't make others
shed tears of blood."

You've been drilling that into me
my entire life.

Then how is this possible?
Did you win the lottery?

What?

Yes, something like that.

And what would that be?

Mom, I'll tell you next time.

Anyway, this is for you.
Clothes and a purse.

This is a jacket for Dad.

And a sweater for Dan-dan.

My gosh.

You shouldn't have.

Why did you buy something for Dan-dan too?

That darn brat.

Mom, don't be like that.

Think of the mess we made.

I see you bought something
in the color she likes.

Awesome, right?

Goodness, my sweet boy.

-Of course, I'm your boy.
-My dear son.

Honey.

Soo-chul?

Where on earth were you?

Why weren't you answering your phone?

Honey.

Were you worried because I wasn't here?

I didn't know
that my phone ran out of batteries.

This isn't your house.
You can't come and go as you please.

I had a reason to go out today.

What's all this?

This? Let's go inside first.

What? What's going on?

"I like toy trains the most in the world."

Right, they made us lose our apartment

and the deposit we had.

But they didn't do that on purpose!

Remember this.

You will regret what you just said,
you darn brat.

Don't you dare call me
your mother ever again!

Dan-dan, can I see you for a moment?

I heard what happened today.

Your mom

almost got caught eating instant noodles.

You two even met outside and fought.

Yes.

I'm nervous about Mom
secretly staying in your room.

And I feel bad
that we have to act like strangers.

I'll quit as soon as
they find a new driver.

Just hang in there until then.

Your mom said she would be more careful.

Okay.

Tell her to make sure she's careful.

Oh, right.

Here.

What is this?

Your mom met Dae-beom today.

He bought this for you.

Where did he get the money
for something like this?

Dad, is Dae-beom causing
some kind of trouble again?

Dan-dan.

You can't jump to conclusions

and speak ill of your brother like that.

Dae-beom isn't the kind of person
who'd cause trouble.

I didn't raise you guys that way.

Okay?

Okay.

Go inside before someone sees us.

Dad, you go in first.

Okay.

This is an expensive brand.

How in the world did he afford this?

Hi.

How have you been?

Jin Sang-gu. What are you doing here?

It's been a while, but you recognize me.

Of course, you should
recognize your own hubby.

How dare you come here?

Get out of here, right now!

I can't stand the sight of you.

-Wait, Sa-ra.
-Let go of me.

Just let us talk, for old times' sake.

I'm just here to ask you something.

Let go of me.

All right.

Fine.

Hey, Sa-ra. Let me ask you one thing.

You had a baby six years ago.
He's my son, isn't he?

Jin Sang-gu's son.

-What?
-Were you…

Were you pregnant when we broke up?

You should've said so.

Why did you have a baby
without telling me?

You crazy jerk.

Gosh, Sa-ra. Your slap still stings a lot.

But if you keep treating me this way,

you'll get in trouble.

Tell me before you go.

Is he my son? Just tell me that.

Someone saw you at the hospital,
almost due.

Hey, Jin Sang-gu.

You married another woman behind my back.

Why would I like
a despicable jerk like you,

enough to keep your baby?

I'm not a fool. I'm not a moron.

Why would I do something crazy like that?

You're saying no, right?

So my friend was mistaken?

Should I call your wife here?

Will you get lost then?

Fine. I'm leaving.

Okay, then.

I'll take it
we don't have a child between us.

Sa-ra.

Mom.

Who is that guy?

And what was all that about?

It's not true, is it?

No. He was talking nonsense.

So you don't need to worry.

Hey. Wait, Sa-ra.

Sa-ra, open this door.

I need to talk to you, Sa-ra.

Mom. It's nothing.
What you heard is nonsense.

So don't worry about it.

Sa-ra!

Sa-ra, open the door.

We need to talk.

Here is today's report.

Jae-ni attended school
from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

and her academies from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

At her English academy,

she made a new friend named Heo Won-seo.

Se-chan came home two hours late today.

He told me that he was going

to a classmate's birthday party.

And Se-jong had well-balanced meals

both at kindergarten and at home.

On the way home from kindergarten,

I bought him some junk food called Opollo.

All his friends were eating it,
so I had no choice but to give him some.

I'm really sorry.

All right. Thank you.

I'd like him to refrain
from eating junk food, though.

If the same thing happens again,
tell me in advance.

Yes, I will. Goodnight, sir.

Goodnight, Ms. Park.

Today was another good day.

Please.

Please save me.

BABY BOX

Mom.

Sa-ra. Was it then?

Did you suddenly barge in here
to talk nonsense?

I'm going to sleep. Get out.

Six years ago.

You told me…

You told me that you were going on a trip,

and you didn't come back
for over six months.

Was it then?

Did you have a baby on your own?

Tell me the truth.

Where's the baby?

Did you get rid of the baby?
Is the baby dead?

Gosh, Mom.

What baby are you talking about?

You're wrong.
Nothing of the sort happened!

What's wrong with you? Get out!

I remember seeing you

with a newborn baby's blanket.

You were holding a baby blanket
and crying your eyes out.

That's not something
a childless woman would do.

Where's that baby blanket?

Where is it? What did you do with it?

There's no such thing, Mom.

Will you stop it and get out?

Let go!

Mom, no! Don't touch that!

What…

Who is this?

It's…

It's that family's youngest…

It's Se-jong.

Why…

Why do you have so many photos of him?

You…

Don't tell me…

Yes.

It's Se-jong.

Se-jong…

Se-jong is my son.

Mom…

No way.

My gosh…

My goodness.

How can this be?

My gosh.

Goodness.

Oh, dear…

Oh, my gosh.

How could this be?

Let's talk.

I'm late for work.

Forget about work.

That guy from last night. Who was he?

Is he from a rich family?

That punk

is married and penniless.

Don't talk about him around me.

How could you have met with such a fool?

Are you crazy?

I didn't know what kind of guy he was.

I didn't know.

You should've told me about it!

Why didn't you?

I was afraid you'd do something drastic.

You were all I had left and…

So,

was it because of Se-jong

that you worked so hard

for Chairman Lee and his family?

To be his mom?

I have to go.

I had no clue…

What do you mean?

Se-jong's grandmother took him?

Yes. Se-jong greeted her
and called her "Grandma."

I'm pretty new to working here,

so I thought she was his grandmother.

Was it Ms. Wang?

It can't be. She went out with Dad.

Hello, Ms. Park.

We have a problem, Ms. Jo.

I came to pick up Se-jong,

and some grandmother took him already.

What grandmother?

Who?

That's why I called you.

Ms. Wang left with Dad…

She left with Mr. Park.
Se-jong called her "Grandmother."

Does Se-jong have another grandmother?

Someone he'd call Grandma?

No.

What should we do?

Did my mom take him?

Ms. Jo, I have to do something.

I'll call the chairman first

then call the police too.

No, Ms. Park. Just a moment.

I'll ask around and call you back.

Give me a moment. Just a few minutes.

Mom.

Hi, Sa-ra. I'm with Se-jong.

Why don't you join us?

I'll tell you where we are.

Okay. Fine.

My gosh.

Ms. Park, it's me.

Don't worry about Se-jong.

Really?

Then you know who took Se-jong?

Yes. It was my mom.

Pardon?

Your mother?

So don't worry and come back here.

I'll explain later.

Ms. Jo. What should I tell the chairman?

I should tell him something.

We can talk about that later too.

Okay, Ms. Park?

Okay. I understand.

Darn it.

Eat this too.

Grandma.

Are you crying?

No, Se-jong.

Something must've gotten into my eyes.

Will you have a look?

-Grandma.
-What is it?

I want to go home.

Already?

But…

Someone you really like will be here soon.

Let's wait a little bit longer.

Sa-ra.

Se-jong.

Ms. Jo. I want to go home.

"Ms. Jo"?

My goodness.

Okay. Let's go.

Wait.

He hasn't finished his ice cream.

I've had enough.
I might get an upset stomach.

Wait. What about the rest of this?

Sa-ra! Hold on.

I thought she came to pick me up
instead of Ms. Park.

She wanted to walk you home today,

but then suddenly remembered

all the ice cream coupons she had.

I guess she wanted to buy you
some ice cream.

Because you're such a sweet boy.

Oh, I see.

Right.

Come in.

Ms. Park.

Where's Se-jong?

I just brought him back
and he's washing his hands.

Could we sit down for a bit?

Sure.

My mom picked up Se-jong today

only because she saw him
at the kindergarten as she was passing by.

She was so happy to see him…

And I guess she wanted

to buy him some ice cream.

She has always adored him, you see.

Oh, I see.

That being said, Ms. Park,

I'd appreciate it

if you don't report this to the chairman.

I'll tell him myself.

Words can be taken the wrong way

when they're delivered
through a third party.

This only happened

because my mom adores Se-jong.

Of course. I hear you.

Mom, are you insane?

How can you be such a fool?

What's so wrong

with buying ice cream for my own grandson?

You have no right
to raise your voice at me.

This is exactly why I kept it from you.

Mom,

even when I wanted to see him

or touch him,

I held myself back over and over again.

Mom, please. I had to hold back

for a total of six years.

Six years!

Then why did you do it? Why?

If you don't hold yourself back right now,

you'll ruin everything.

I'll ruin everything?

All right.
I won't do anything like this again.

I won't go to see him.

My poor daughter.

You poor thing.

Here is today's report.

Jae-ni and Se-chan returned home safely

after attending school and academies.

Meanwhile, Ms. Jo picked Se-jong up today.

Jae-ni and Se-chan
finished their homework.

And Jae-ni is laughing
a lot more often these days.

Good job, Ms. Park. Have a good night.

Goodnight to you too, Mr. Lee.

Hey, Anna.

What? You're coming to Korea?

When?

Okay. I'll have the guest room ready.

Ms. Yeoju.

Yes, Mr. Lee. Can I get you anything?

No, it's not that.

An important guest
will be arriving tomorrow,

so please prepare some food

and clean the guest room.

The guest room?

Goodness. Could it be Ms. Anna Kim
who was here last time?

How did you know?

How could I not

when you're smiling so brightly?

Well, please get it ready.

Oh, and don't forget
the soy sauce marinated shrimp.

Of course. Don't you worry.

I'll have Mr. Park head to the fish market

to buy the freshest shrimp
early in the morning.

-I'll leave it in your hands then.
-Sure thing.

It's been a while since she came to visit.

What else should I make for her?

Ms. Yeoju, I see you're still awake.

A dear guest is arriving
from the States tomorrow.

I'm thinking about what to cook.

A dear guest?

She's like a sister to Mr. Lee.

She's the daughter of his old nanny.

She owns a big share of the company.

Mr. Lee cares for her so much.

Not even Ms. Wang can say anything.

Oh, I see.

-Ji-young!
-I just feel like I'm being suffocated.

I can't bear this!

This isn't how life should be.

This is a cave
without a single ray of light!

Just consider me dead.

Ji-young, no!

No!

Honey, what's wrong? Was it a nightmare?

What?

It was nothing.

What do you mean, it was nothing?

Gosh, you're sweating.

Worrying about leaving this place

made you have a nightmare.

I've been having bad dreams as well.

Hello, were you perhaps sent
by Chairman Lee Young-kuk?

Yes, that's right. Are you Ms. Anna Kim?

That's right. I'm Anna…

Ms. Kim!

He looks so much like Soo-chul.

She's our tutor.

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

As if I have any right to think
about Soo-chul and Dan-dan.

-Lee Jae-ni!
-Have you been checking up on me?

That's rich coming from you
when you were with a boy.

Mr. Lee, you really are insufferable.

What?

Isn't that Chairman Lee?

Who's that darn brat?

Chairman Lee and Ms. Park?

My son is here to pick
me and his girlfriend up.

They will all be in shock
once they find out I'm Se-ryeon's mom.

Yeon-sil lives in this mansion?
How can this be?

Isn't this our back gate?

What's this sound?

-Who are you?
-No!

Ms. Park?
