01x30 - Jin Ju Confronts Soo Jung

[bunniefuu]

Soo Jung.

Your mom.

What she said when I visited last time.

Did she talk nonsense that was made up,

or was she unable to refrain from speaking the truth?

"Honey, I'll do as you say."

"We should raise Soo Jung."

"You saw what was on her arm, right?"

"She was abused."

"We can't drop her off at the police station."

If I were to take that at face value,

I'd think...

you were adopted.

I'm well aware...

that it's preposterous.

Get some rest, then.

[It's Beautiful Now]

[Episode 30]

Are you not feeling good?

It's nothing.

Hold on.

But you seem unwell. You've gone pale.

I just have an upset stomach, that's all.

You seem to have a fever too.

I'm all right.

Why don't you take this chance to receive a checkup?

You're usually at the hospital anyway.

I'm fine.

You have always been uninterested in physical checkups.

This time though, you should get one.

I know you don't want to get it done alone,

so I'll get one as well.

- I'd like to lie down.
- Sure.

- Welcome.
- Hello.

Hurry, will you?

But we're not late.

We'll do as you say and be fashionably late.

Do you think they're here?

They probably are.

The table's reserved under Lee Hyun Jae.

- Let me escort you to your table.
- Sure.

Look. There they are.

Hey.

You guys are here early.

You as well.

She seems sensible.

This is Hyun Mi Rae.

Say hello to my parents.

Hello, Mother, Father. I'm Hyun Mi Rae.

It's good to meet you.

I should be picky today,

so why on earth am I nervous instead?

Why don't we sit? Please take your seat.

Mother, I will once you do.

Right, sure thing.

What would you like to have?

I think I look good enough today.

Yoon Jae.

- Yes?
- I'm heading out.

Sure thing.

Are you going somewhere?

Kyung Chul, why did you even come in here?

He seems dressed up for something.

I'm meeting Hae Jun's family.

Wait. Is Hae Jun the woman you're hoping to marry?

Yes.

Didn't you say both her parents passed away?

I'm meeting her older brother and his wife.

- I see.
- How do I look today?

I don't know whose grandson you are, but you sure are handsome.

Kyung Chul, please.

We all know that he's your darling grandson.

Anyway, you must no longer be worried.

Actually, all the stress is now gone.

Hyun Jae's girlfriend.

Your parents went out to meet her.

I wonder if things are going well with them.

Why would there be an issue?

Do your parents know that you're meeting us?

Yes.

I met Mi Rae's mother and her maternal grandmother.

That reminds me. How is your grandmother doing?

She's still hospitalized.

I just hope her condition doesn't worsen.

I see.

She was healthy enough before falling off her bed, you see.

I met her when she was staying at the nursing home.

She fell off her bed?

I'm afraid so.

My grandmother tripped on a snowy day...

and fractured her arm.

Recovering from it took a toll on everyone.

People don't realize how dangerous it can be...

when elders trip and fall.

Exactly. I didn't know myself until recent events.

How many siblings do you have?

- I have a younger brother.
- I see.

Oh, a brother.

Do you currently live with your parents and younger brother?

There's also my paternal grandmother.

I see.

It's not common these days for three generations to live together.

Your family is a lot like ours.

Right.

I promised myself I wouldn't speak, so why am I blabbering?

From here on out, I'll be an Ice Queen.

My gosh. Goodness.

- Goodness me.
- Are you all right?

- Yes, I'm all right. Gosh.
- Are you okay?

Goodness.

What on earth...

Are you nervous, Mom?

Gosh. Why would I be nervous?

You seem that way to me. Why did you knock over your glass?

Why would I be nervous when I'm the interviewer?

The interviewee should be nervous instead.

She seems nervous to me.

Gosh.

Guys, over here.

Hae Jun!

Hae Jun.

- Have you been well?
- Of course.

Congratulations on your engagement.

You have no idea how surprised I was.

Thanks.

Not even I could believe it at first.

A younger man who's a dentist?

I just hope that you checked him out.

What do you mean?

He has a lot going for him.

Even though he's 40, he'll be considered a catch.

He's the older brother of a co-worker.

Then he checks out.

May I take your order?

I'll head outside and see where Yoon Jae is.

- Sure.
- Go ahead and order.

- Sure.
- Of course.

No, we haven't met him yet.

My sister-in-law went out to get him.

Tell me about it.

I don't know why she wants to even marry at that age.

Why not just live alone?

There's nothing special about marriage anyway.

I'm not even sure if she can have children.

Exactly.

Hae Jun, why are you waiting out here?

I wanted to go inside with you.

Well, is your brother here?

Yes, he is.

Hae Jun.

Hey.

Yoon Jae, this is my sister-in-law.

Hello. I'm Lee Yoon Jae.

Hello.

How did you meet Hae Jun?

She was a patient at my hospital.

This might be out of line,

but why haven't you gotten married yet?

It's not that I didn't. I didn't have the chance.

I haven't had anyone who made me want to get married.

Where will you live once you get married?

We'll live in my house.

It's inconvenient to move, and it's close to my law firm.

You can't think of yourself only.

His dental clinic is an hour away from your place.

You can't be selfish.

What do you mean I'm selfish?

I know how you can be.

We haven't discussed that yet.

We'll make a decision based on our discussion.

We have no intention of interfering with Hae Jun's marriage.

I'm satisfied by the fact that she's getting married.

You should come over someday.

You should meet our children.

Our kids are curious who their uncle's going to be.

Yes, of course.

Where did you park your car?

Well, I don't have a car.

You don't?

No, I don't.

He prefers public transportation more.

Right.

Can I talk to you for a bit?

Sure.

What is it?

Do you not want me to get married?

What are you talking about?

Think about what you said earlier.

Sure, I'm strong-headed.

But did you have to bad-mouth me...

by saying I'm selfish in front of my fiancé?

That wasn't bad-mouthing. I was just telling the truth.

And your wife.

Why did she have to emphasize the fact that he doesn't have a car?

It is weird that he doesn't own a car at that age.

What's weird?

Everyone has different spending habits.

Did you call me here to say that?

When you introduced your wife to me when you got married,

you didn't let me say a word to her.

You said you didn't want her to get upset.

But how can you do this to me?

Gosh, you and your personality.

You're bringing that up now?

You could've called me later.

I heard what your wife said by chance in the bathroom.

She said she didn't know why I was getting married now.

And that I should've just lived alone.

Is this...

your attitude toward my marriage?

If Mom had been still alive, she wouldn't have said such a thing.

She would've been happy.

For you, your family is the only thing that's important.

You have no interest in how your only sister lives.

Hae Jun.

Did something happen?

Did your brother say he didn't like me?

No, it's not that. I just miss my mom.

It was a pleasure to meet you today.

Thank you.

Right. I forgot.

What is this?

I thought it'd be nice...

if you wore this when you took a walk.

It's nothing special. Open it when you get home.

She didn't even tell me what it was.

Let me know later after you open it.

I'm really curious.

Thank you.

You kids then keep on talking. We'll get going.

- You don't have to see us off.
- Let's go.

- Bye.
- We'll see you off.

Yes, we will.

How was she?

I thought you'd be picky when you saw her,

but you weren't.

I'm a simpleton, you know.

When she talked about falling down, it reminded me of my grandmother.

And I became empathetic.

How did she end up being conned? She looked so smart.

Otherwise, she's a good match with Hyun Jae.

They look alike.

They do.

They say, if a couple looks alike, they'll have a good life together.

Maybe that's what pulled them together.

But Yoon Jae and Hae Jun look alike as well.

No, they don't. They're completely different.

You can go in by yourself, right?

I can.

Then, you go in first. I'll be back with something to eat.

Aren't you going back home?

I should.

Everyone knows that I met your brother and his wife today.

So, I have to go back home.

Were you...

upset earlier?

With my sister-in-law asking you about not having a car.

No, I wasn't.

But I think it's intriguing.

What is?

People say marriage is the real deal.

I think I'm realizing it gradually.

So, don't you want to get married to me?

No, I want to be with you even more.

I didn't know such a place existed.

And I call myself a cook.

Baking is a whole different field.

- This way.
- Right.

It's here.

Hello.

- Welcome.
- Hello.

Take a look around slowly and buy things you need.

- I'll look around myself as well.
- Okay.

You're buying a lot.

I'm picking out anything that looks fascinating.

These molds are too hard for a beginner to use.

Stick to the basics for now.

I'll just buy everything now.

It helps to try all the available tools.

Do as you wish.

Everyone learns in a different way.

By the way, how did your test go?

Will you pass this time?

I think I did okay, but I'm not that confident.

I think you passed.

Why?

I gave you Korean Taffy.

If you pass, you owe me.

You said you weren't confident.

I'm lost for words.

You can still eat, can't you?

I'm hungry.

What do you want to eat?

This is my first time here.

You recommend something.

[Sundae soup]

Thank you.

- Enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.

Do you like gukbap?

I eat anything.

It tastes much better this way.

Do you want some?

I hate that.

I prefer it as is.

Doesn't the spicy kkakdugi seasoning cut through...

the grease making it better?

You eat how you like it.

I'll eat how I like it.

Okay.

It really does taste better.

Don't force your tastes on me.

Fine.

[Congratulations on the grand opening.]

Hello.

Lee Soo Jae!

Congratulations.

Thanks.

This looks really familiar.

Right?

- Right.
- Yu Na got me this.

Do you have similar tastes in plants too?

Let's sit down.

- Yu Na was here?
- Yes.

Did you two fight? Are you not in touch?

I thought if I called her, you'd tag along.

But you didn't.

Is that why you didn't mention her when you called?

Yes.

I thought you wouldn't visit if you two had fought.

Each customer means a lot to me right now.

What would we fight over?

I know, right?

Do you know she took the baking test?

Good for her.

You didn't know.

She'll quit Bong Food if she passes.

She should work at a bakery.

She'd always wanted to get into baking.

She's on the right track.

I'm considering hiring her. What do you think?

I want her to work somewhere better.

What's wrong with my store?

You just opened.

You need a while to get on track.

I don't want Yu Na to suffer.

You.

Get out and don't come back.

I'll visit every day, then.

What are you saying? Please leave. Goodbye.

Drop me off over there.

Okay.

[Dream-ville]

Thanks for helping today.

I should thank you.

I was able to buy supplies.

It was a good day.

I'm glad you think so.

Goodbye, then.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Bye.

[Saet Byul]

Soo Jae got me this.

It looked a lot like your gift, so I took a pic out of fascination.

I don't want to know.

I don't want to know.

You can open them if you want to know.

I will, then, because I want to know.

I think they're shoes.

How would she know what sizes to buy?

Hyun Jae must've told her.

They're trainers.

These are for women. They're yours.

They look nice and comfy.

They're the same design. Stand next to me.

This is embarrassing.

I like them.

Let's walk around the block in them.

You said you didn't want to know.

That was the past.

Currently, I like them.

They're so pretty.

Shall I do it?

No, I'm almost done.

You look like the lady of the house.

I do feel some ownership.

I feel more assertive.

That's a good thing.

- Let's eat now.
- Let's eat.

I wonder if your parents like my gift.

I'll call to ask.

Okay.

It's Dad.

We're almost telepathic.

Hello.

Mi Rae got us trainers.

They're identical.

Are they? Do you like them?

Your mom likes them more.

She wants to wear them on a stroll.

That's good to hear.

It is.

I'm pleased to see your mom in a good mood for once.

Okay. Wear them on your walks.

Bye.

Do they like them?

Yes.

Yes.

Are you that pleased?

Yes. Your parents like what I got them.

Of course, I'm pleased.

- Let's eat.
- Okay.

Out of anything my brother said...

If anything offended you, don't take it to heart.

I wasn't offended.

Actually,

I realized that I had been too thoughtless.

Where we'd live,

if we'd have children,

when and where our families would meet.

We also need to meet each other's friends.

There's so much to do.

We never discussed any of that.

Where should we live?

It's easiest if you move in with me.

Why complicate things?

Like your brother said,

you live quite far from my clinic.

We could consider moving to an area halfway in-between.

Do you want to?

No. Your convenience comes first.

I can handle myself being tired.

Then that issue's solved.

What else is there? Family plans?

Do you like kids?

I do.

But the reality is, I'm old so...

I'm not confident of having any.

If I were about ten years younger,

we'd have a better chance of getting pregnant.

But I'm just as old too.

Then let's have kids if we're blessed with any.

If not, let's live happily on our own.

What else is there?

That's enough for today.

Okay, let's call it a day.

This is nice and refreshing.

I'd wanted chilled cucumber salad.

How do you just know what I want?

Enjoy it, then.

Soo Jung.

You won't join us?

I'll eat later.

Is Mom sick?

What?

I guess she doesn't feel well.

Since when?

She was fine when she got home.

Nursing someone isn't an easy task.

She isn't the type to express herself,

but I bet she has lots on her mind.

I'd think...

you were adopted.

Something's off with Soo Jung.

What are you talking about?

When she came home earlier,

she was feeling just fine.

But then I got on her nerves.

What did you say to her?

Do you remember how Soo Jung's mother...

said something weird the other day?

About her refusing to take Soo Jung to the police.

So I asked Soo Jung if she was adopted as a kid.

You brat.

Even with jokes,

there are lines you shouldn't cross.

Are you out of your mind?

She has it tough enough with her mother being in the hospital.

Come on.

How is it that you believe your daughter-in-law more...

than your own daughter?

I had a good enough reason to be suspicious.

Don't be ridiculous.

Her mother's dementia made her say that gibberish.

What are you up to?

I'm making porridge.

My Soo Jung skipped her dinner today.

"My" Soo Jung?

Devoted, aren't you?

Soo Jung sure is a lucky one.

Both you and Mom think of her as a saint.

Can I get you anything?

I'd like a can of beer.

- I'm home!
- Hey.

Mi Rae, we're in here.

Auntie, what did you do today?

I had fun doing this and that.

You met your boyfriend's parents today. Did it go well?

What are they like?

His father's a vice principal at a middle school,

and his mother's a stay-at-home mom.

They were super nice to me.

I'm glad.

Shouldn't I also meet that boyfriend of yours?

You met both his parents, didn't you?

Why not invite him home for the whole family to meet?

I'll take that into consideration.

- I'll see Mom and head upstairs.
- Sure.

That's enough stirring.

It's fully cooked.

- Mom!
- Gosh.

- Are you not feeling well?
- It's nothing.

I met Hyun Jae's parents, and his father was such a gentleman.

- Really?
- I said he was adopted, right?

Well, he was radiating bright energy.

He must've been raised with love.

It could seem that way only on the outside.

I highly doubt that. You'll know once you meet him.

It's why I'm now even more curious about Hyun Jae's grandfather.

Hyun Jae's father is a school teacher, right?

Yes, a Korean teacher.

He even supports children who grow out of the system.

Hyun Jae helps when he can as well.

I see you're still here.

I was just about to head upstairs.

Here. Have some of this.

I said I was fine.

You should eat, Mom.

- Unbelievable.
- Here.

Dad made it for you.

Gosh, I envy you.

You can always marry someone like me.

I take it back.

Hyun Jae will do a much better job.

- Unbelievable.
- Gosh.

I'll head upstairs, then. Please enjoy.

Hyun Jae, is it?

What do you think of him? You've met him twice now.

He seemed much better the second time around.

Maybe it's because I changed my stance.

Do they seem compatible?

Yes, they do.

I'm done trying to talk Mi Rae out of it,

so I can only hope that they get along well.

Here.

You're unbelievable.

Where are you going with that?

It's for Soo Jung.

My gosh. Why would you give her this?

You didn't bat an eye when I asked you for it.

It's all because of you, you know.

You upset her, so I need to clear up your mess.

You brat.

Here. Take your time.

- Can I come in?
- Hey, Mom.

Gosh.

You should have this.

No, you should keep it. It's one of your favourite purses.

Jin Ju got me a new one.

Thank you, Mother.

Soo Jung, you shouldn't skip your meals.

It's crucial for the caregiver to stay healthy.

- Right.
- Go back to your meal, then.

Right.

Did you hear that Mom...

was going to bequeath you her building in Okje-dong?

- Jin Ju told me.
- I know.

It startled me, you know.

Because of that,

Jin Ju might take out her frustration on you.

Just don't take what she says to heart.

Why are you avoiding me?

I don't know.

If I make you uncomfortable, I won't come by this store.

I won't choose to bother you.

From this moment on,

the world will revolve around us.

Right at this moment.

My feelings for you keep growing.

My feelings for you keep growing too.

I don't think I'm good enough for you.

They're comfortable.

Hold on.

I thought you went to the convenience store.

Why didn't you buy anything?

Soo Jae, what do you think of these shoes?

Hyun Jae's girlfriend bought them for me.

They're nice.

You...

Are you sure you're not seeing Yu Na?

Don't talk about her.

My gosh, those eyes. If looks could k*ll, I'd be dead.

- Hey.
- Mom, why are you out here?

I see you're back.

You met with Hae Jun's brother and his wife today.

Don't you care that I'm not fond of her?

I'm the one who's marrying her.

Even so, we'll still bump into each other.

You're only saying this...

because you don't know how great she is.

Once you know that, you'll like her more than I do.

As if.

So what does her brother do?

He works for a company.

I bet he was fond of you.

His sister is marrying well above 40,

so he must think that she hit the jackpot.

Actually, being younger than her is all that I have going for me.

What do you mean?

Hae Jun doesn't care that I'm in debt.

She only values love. That's the kind of person she is.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

She's a much better person than you.

When you found out about my debt, you told me off...

and hit me for that matter.

What the...

They just can't think straight...

when it involves the women in their lives.

How can you prioritize them over me?

Darn them.

Those brats! My gosh.

What on earth is this?

Honey, I'm sorry.

Were you aiming at me?

Of course not.

What has you so upset?

Yoon Jae teased me about Hae Jun being better than me...

and then went into his room.

Why is she better?

She doesn't mind him being in debt.

Then he was right to say that.

Honey!

We should ask him about what he's planning to do.

Like where they would live after the wedding.

Don't worry about our living situation.

I'll be moving in with Hae Jun.

Is she okay with that?

Yes, she suggested it first.

Can I help you with anything?

I'll need you to meet Hae Jun's family...

and settle on a date for the wedding.

Is that all?

Hae Jun's a problem-solver.

When I'm with her,

I feel like everything's going to be all right.

You have found the perfect partner for you.

"The perfect partner"?

Is that really what he said?

Yes.

I'm over the moon.

I called you with that news to make you really happy.

What are you doing right now?

I was going to turn in for the night.

Me too.

Nothing's up, right?

Would anything be up when we parted only hours ago?

Oh, right.

My brother called. He'll come by the law firm tomorrow.

Why?

He must feel bad because of what I said to him earlier.

You gave him an earful?

The Sim Hae Jun I know doesn't say things just for fun.

This is wrong, you know.

What is?

I'm falling for you even more.

Would you be able to handle your growing feelings?

I know I'll be able to.

I can handle it too.

I told my mom about meeting your parents.

I'm still intimidated by her.

She's fond of you now.

Does that mean she wasn't in the past?

Sorry about that.

It's all right.

I got that from her when we first met.

You sound tired today.

I should go to sleep soon.

Sure, we both should.

Hang up first.

No, you hang up first.

- All right. I'll hang up first.
- Sure.

[Law Firm Haejun]

Good morning, everyone.

Ms. Sim, you're here. You have a visitor.

He said he was your brother.

Is he here already?

I served him a cup of tea.

Thank you.

Hey, you're here early.

Hey.

I felt bad...

about yesterday.

It's true that I haven't been a caring brother to you.

You're busy raising your own kids,

so how could you have the time for me?

I guess I was on edge yesterday.

It's as you said.

I could've chosen another time to talk about it.

Tell me if you need any help preparing for the wedding.

What I might need?

That's right.

You even haven't decided on where to live after the wedding,

so the list must be long.

He'll be moving into my place.

Why would I move...

when I already have a place of my own?

Doesn't Dr. Lee have his own place?

No, he lives with his parents.

He could still have an apartment under his name...

considering his age.

He may be younger than you,

but a man at 40 isn't that young.

He studied for quite a long time...

and dental equipment for his clinic needed to be bought.

Unbelievable. No car and no apartment?

Are you kidding me?

What do you mean?

Could he be marrying you because...

you have a lot of money?

Seriously?

I'm worried, that's all.

I wouldn't be if you were still young.

A marriage at your age needs to be taken seriously.

We can't have everything in life, you know.

You found social success.

You built this law firm from the ground up.

Marriage isn't a necessity.

We'll stay as a tight-knit family...

as you watch my children grow up.

Having a simple life isn't a bad idea.

Being close to you and watching your children grow up.

Can't I do that as a married woman?

You don't get a say in my wedding.

All I need you to do is attend the wedding.

I'll manage the rest alone.

But the families should meet.

Or will you skip that too?

Are you going to get married without your family beside you?

What on earth is going on?

Hyun Jae, you should go to Ms. Sim's office.

- Why?
- She's been in a foul mood...

ever since her brother left.

- Why?
- Who knows?

All right.

Come in.

How about a cup of tea?

Shouldn't you be busy?

I actually am. Gosh.

But I still have time to talk to you.

One might think...

that you're doing me a huge favour.

Did my brother behave when he met your brother?

Yoon Jae's always a sweetheart.

I can't wait to see you two grow into a family.

The same could be said about you and Mi Rae.

So, is marriage not something...

you're considering?

- Marriage?
- That's right.

You met each other's parents, so shouldn't it be considered?

It's been on my mind.

Is it something you want?

Yes,

but I'm not sure if Mi Rae wants it yet.

I'm sure she thinks the same way.

But...

Forget it.

A "but" that ends with "forget it."

Why don't I take a wild guess?

Mi Rae's lawsuit was closed less than a year ago.

Proposing to her this soon would never work out.

Clever as always.

You're clear of what the issue is.

So what's the issue for you?

Family relationship.

I'm a little disappointed with my brother.

I thought he'd be really happy if I told him I was getting married.

Don't take this the wrong way. It's not because of Yoon Jae.

I think...

he's not happy with the fact that I'm getting married.

Right. What happened to your younger brother?

I think he's doing fine. On the outside.

But I still have things to talk through with him.

I'll make sure that the rental gets delivered quickly.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Goodbye.

[Acupressure Beds]

What brings you here?

I came to see you at your work, that's all.

Goodness.

This looks nice.

- Can I try it out?
- Are you going to buy it?

Let me try it out first.

I work sitting down, you see.

- Lie down here.
- Yes, sir!

Let's see. Gosh.

Gosh. This feels good.

It's not even turned on.

It's not?

Good gosh.

This feels good. What's happening?

This is interesting.

Did you really just come to see me?

I'm hungry. Did you eat lunch?

Since you seem stable, I have something to tell you.

About what you did.

If I'm blunt about it, the fact that you conned our parents.

Committing fraud against your own family...

can be considered as relationship-related crimes...

and are criminally held accountable.

But brothers can be exempted.

Families can turn a blind eye to the law.

Hence, your life could be hard if you meet the wrong family.

It can be the easiest relationship, but it can be the hardest.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to.

To be honest,

it's your life that you need to be responsible for.

I'm your brother.

So, I wanted to point that out for you.

I'm happy that you're my brother.

But, Hyun Jae.

Family won't leave me, will they?

I have a chance to make it up, right?

Do you know what the hardest thing is for me right now?

Thinking about why I did such a thing...

and why I got Yu Na involved.

Gosh, I'm nervous.

I need to check.

[Human Resources Development Service]

[Check]

[Pass]

- What is it?
- I passed!

- You did?
- Yes, I did!

- Congratulations!
- Thank you.

You owe me. So, be nice to me.

I will.

Congratulations, Yu Na.

Thank you, Saet Byul.

Am I the first one to congratulate you?

No, Mr. Park was.

That's unfortunate.

But I came over on my lunch break...

because I wanted to be congratulated by you.

Good thinking.

You'll have to quit working at Bong Food, won't you?

I should.

- Do you want to work with me?
- What?

Soo Jae told me that you needed to work at a better place...

and told me not to ask you.

But Star Macarons has its advantages.

If you work at a bigger company, you have to do what they tell you.

But if you work here, you're free to do what you want.

All right. I'll think about it.

Thank you, Saet Byul.

You're recruiting me, aren't you?

Please call it that.

Sure. I'm recruiting you.

I just thought of the one person I wanted to share the good news.

Mom.

What is it?

Mom, I passed.

I passed the baker's examination,

and I got recruited by a bakery.

You did?

Yes, I did.

Concentrating on one thing paid off.

I'll come visit you before I move to my new job.

You will?

It's been a long while. Come as soon as you can.

Okay.

What was that all about? You said you'd think about it.

Isn't the bakery you got recruited by, here?

Yes, it is.

Yu Na.

Saet Byul.

Let's go celebrate.

[Jung Mi Young]

She's sleeping.

Yes.

Where did the guardian go?

I told you I wouldn't do it. But you're making me.

Please.

It's been a while since you had a check-up.

If you are past 50 years old, you need an annual check-up.

That's why I'm doing it.

[Are you suffering or being treated for the following illnesses?]

[Has a family member suffered or passed away...]

[from the following illnesses?]

What is it?

I don't want to do this.

Honey.

[Health Promotion Center]

Why did you come out?

Since you left like that, I'm not doing it either.

But you should.

I won't do it until you do.

I always get stuck on the medical interview questions.

Why?

"Has a family member suffered or passed away..."

"from the following illnesses?"

I don't know my family.

Whenever I come for a health check-up...

I get curious...

about the people who left me.

I thought about searching for them.

My late father even offered to find them for me.

But Mom stopped him.

However old I get...

or even after having children, I can't get over it.

When I was young,

I thought if I got married, had children, and got older,

the darkness and complications in me would be taken care of.

But it won't.

You can step outside for a while since I'm here.

Yes.

Mother.

Mother, you're up.

I'm Jin Ju.

Jin Ju?

Yes, I'm Soo Jung's friend, Jin Ju.

I'm your son-in-law Hyun Jin Heon's sister Jin Ju.

I visited you a lot as a kid.

You're Soo Jung's friend.

Yes.

Where is Soo Jung?

Jin Heon must've taken her to get a checkup.

I must raise her in secret.

Just a moment.

Soo Jung.

We must raise her.

Ma'am.

Gossiping about me being barren behind my back.

Stop it!

So...

could you not have children?

Hey. You're here?

Yes.

When did you come by?

Not long ago, but I should dash.

I felt like the last visit was too brief,

so I came by again.

Thanks.

Don't thank me.

This visit gave me a lot to think about.

What are you talking about?

It's our secret.

See you at home.

Will you come home tonight?

Yes, I will.

Okay.

This is unbelievable.

Will Mom believe me?

Mom!

You're back already?

Mom, do you know where I was?

Didn't you go shopping?

I visited Soo Jung's mom.

Again?

You're not as smart as you used to be,

and you're not getting the message.

So...

I made a recording.

Because nobody believed what I said.

You made a recording? You're up to no good.

You said yourself that...

you couldn't tell if it was real or not.

Are you doing this because I said I'd leave Soo Jung my property?

That's that and this is this.

We must know the truth.

Forget it.

Quit penning that novel of yours...

and focus on your hobby, shopping.

Mom.

Why won't you believe me?

Hello. I got this for you.

What?

They're from a good friend's macaron store.

You look happy.

I am.

Is Mr. Hyun in?

Come in.

Mr. Hyun.

Yu Na.

This is for you.

You're partially responsible for my passing the test.

- Thanks.
- Bye, then.

Wait.

Is this it?

What?

You said I helped you pass. Is a box of macarons all I get?

I think that's how much you helped.

Come on. Spend a little more.

How about a meal?

A box of macarons is worth more than a meal to me.

To me, a meal means more.

Shouldn't you gift someone what they want?

You're right. I'll treat you to a meal.

Give me that back.

Are you offended?

Taking back a gift is worse than not giving anything.

You're smiling a lot today.

What?

You didn't smile for a while.

Really? I didn't notice.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I'll drop by yours this evening.

What for?

I'll stop by on the way to Hae Jun's.

Yes?

- Dr. Lee.
- Yes?

I'm going to order snacks for the pantry.

Do you want anything?

No, I don't.

You're busy preparing for the wedding, aren't you?

Yes. There's so much to do.

If you decide to do stuff, there's a lot to do,

and if you decide not to, the list goes way down.

Where will you live after the wedding?

That's what people seem to wonder the most.

Naturally. Deciding where to live is the biggest issue.

Then I guess I have the biggest issue solved.

Where?

What's that?

Hello.

Why are you here?

Why not go straight to Hae Jun's?

What were you doing?

I was cooking.

This looks amazing.

Pack some.

Yoon Jae.

You know that Hae Jun can't cook.

She has no food at home.

She has a lot on her mind, and she must eat well.

Then you cook for her.

She thinks of you like you're her little brother.

Can't you share food with a sister?

I can't.

Do you think I'll give up?

What's in the fridge?

- That darn...
- There's a lot of food.

Stop it.

For real?

Well done.

Did Hyun Jae let you take his food?

Of course, he did. He knows who it's for.

I should cook some rice, I guess?

That'll take ages. Microwave some instant rice.

I don't have any.

I bought some.

What?

It feels like family.

It's warming.

We will become family.

Hi, Mi Rae.

What were you doing?

Cleaning up.

This late at night?

I clean during the day and at night. Whenever.

Where are you?

I'm about to leave work.

Mom's struggling a bit, so I try to leave early.

You're such a good daughter.

I'll let your mom have you today.

I'll tell her so.

Are you going to hang up?

No. We can talk a little longer.

I'm home.

Jin Heon.

Let's talk.

Are you coming from the hospital?

Yes.

I want to confirm something.

Come outside.

What did you gather us to say?

You know I can't control my curiosity.

I tried to forget about it, but I just can't.

Are you going to bring that up again? Don't.

Keep quiet, Mom.

Soo Jung.

We must raise her.

Ma'am.

Gossiping about me being barren behind my back.

Stop it!

What is this?

I told you. I got curious.

She said before that she shouldn't go to the police.

What she said before I could press the recording button was...

"I must raise her in secret."

What is it you're trying to say?

Soo Jung.

I think she was adopted.

Hey! Are you out of your mind?

She must really be out of her mind!

You tell us.

Am I out of my mind?

There's no need to answer her. Let's go to our room.

Until when will you hide behind my brother...

and control him as if he's your puppet?

You may have Mom and him wrapped around your finger,

but not me.

What's so hard about denying my claims?

Actually, nothing about this is hard.

Yes, you're right.

Honey!

I'm not my parents' biological daughter.

[It's Beautiful Now]

That liar!

Was it fun for you?

All you're after is your mother's assets.

That's all you care about!

You slapped Soo Jung, didn't you?

- You're like her servant.
- Why you...

I'm doing every job that comes with a paycheck.

As in what kind of jobs?

- Cleaning.
- What kind of cleaning job?

Isn't Bong Food the company Yu Na works at?

We should meet with Hae Jun's family.

I don't want to.

Aren't you going to speak casually to me?

Is it because I'm too old?

Why would I meet with her family when I don't even like her?

I don't see Yoon Jae for some reason.

When...

I told my mom that your father was adopted,

her demeanour suddenly shifted.

Would it upset you if I asked you what was wrong?

It's hard to say it out loud.

You said you'd call but you never did.

It might be hard to see each other for a while.
