01x38 - Fates Entwined

[bunniefuu]

Honey?

- What...
- Soo Jung?

Why are you crying?

Gosh, why are you crying?

Were you with your biological parents just now?

Is that the reason?

Don't meet them ever again!

You don't need them in your life now!

She's right. Let's put it to rest.

You know what they're like, so that's that.

Don't ever meet them again.

But I have to.

What do you mean?

You're over 50 now,

and you don't need anything from your parents.

You only needed to know about your roots.

They can't have an effect on you anymore.

It's Hyun Jae's grandfather.

What? Hyun Jae's grandfather as in Mr. Lee?

Mr. Lee...

is your biological father?

Yes.

What...

How could this be?

What about our Mi Rae?

[It's Beautiful Now]

[Episode 38]

Does it look weird?

It does.

In what way?

In every way.

Maybe I should try on another dress, then.

I'm bewildered by how beautiful you look.

So is this the one?

No, try on other dresses too.

You look good in everything,

so I want to see you in other dresses.

What do we do?

Father.

I...

I brought you some water.

You can leave it there.

You should grab a bite to eat. The table has been set.

I don't have an appetite.

Kyung Chul!

Kyung Chul.

Gosh.

Father isn't feeling well, so he's lying in bed.

Why isn't he feeling well?

Didn't he recently reconnect with his long-lost daughter?

Kyung Chul.

Unbelievable.

Honey.

What is it?

Honey.

What is this about?

Is it true that Mi Rae's mother is your father's daughter?

Did Dad tell you?

I still can't believe it though.

How can this be?

Tell me about it.

How could something like this have happened?

How did things go with him and Jung Eun today?

I doubt it ended well.

He's been refusing to eat.

Why are you refusing to eat?

Go home, will you?

I will when I need to.

Kyung Chul, give me the details on how it went with Jung Eun.

When will you bring her home?

Did you tell her about me?

I wonder what she is like.

She should be married by now.

What does her husband do?

Dad, I'm coming in.

What?

Right.

How old are her children?

Didn't you talk about those things?

Shut it, will you?

Why on earth are you yelling at me?

Min h*, what has gotten into your father today?

He has been looking for Jung Eun all his life.

Shouldn't he be dancing with joy?

Dad, you should at least eat.

At times like this, it is important to stay healthy.

But what good would that do?

The possibility of seeing her again is what kept me alive.

But then I got to meet her.

She thinks that I abandoned her though.

What? She thinks you abandoned her?

All my life,

I wanted to tell her about how her mother died...

and about our family's medical history...

so that it could help her live a long and healthy life.

I guess I don't have a reason to live anymore.

Then I'll speak to her.

I'm a witness to this story, aren't I?

Kyung Chul, give me her contact information.

I'll meet her on your behalf.

You have met her before.

What? What do you mean I have met her before?

What is he saying? How mistaken can your father be?

My goodness.

Maybe he's too shocked and is unaware of what he's saying.

Actually, he's not. She really is someone we know.

What?

Honey.

My mom would like to have a word with you.

Come to think of it,

Kyung Soon mentioned...

that her brother was looking for his long-lost daughter.

I asked her...

after you told me about him having a daughter...

around your age.

Then, you must have gone missing.

How could that have happened?

I didn't go missing.

You have the facts wrong.

But I was told that you went missing.

Mr. Lee's a good man.

He made a good impression on me during our family gathering.

He made the decision...

not to mind about losing out on a few things.

Since he's a father,

all he wanted was for his children to have a good life.

He seems like a nice person, so why were you in agony?

It must be because of Mi Rae's wedding.

Yes, Mi Rae's wedding is a huge problem.

What will it mean for them?

Once Mr. Lee claims you as his legal daughter,

you will be Hyun Jae's aunt on paper.

What did Mr. Lee say about this matter?

We didn't get around to talking about that.

I doubt they were able to get as far as that.

It's not like there's a clear solution though.

Now that we're aware of their biological relationship,

this wedding must be called off.

I couldn't tell you this because of Mom earlier.

The tattoo you had on your arm.

Did you ask your father about it?

That didn't even occur to me.

When I went to meet him,

he came in with Hyun Jae's father.

He showed up with Hyun Jae's father?

I guess they have a special bond.

Some people don't share their secrets with their sons.

When I saw them walk in together,

I felt a surge of anger.

I lived my whole life with the trauma...

of my parents abandoned me. But my birth father...

abandoned his daughter and adopted a son.

He seemed like a beloved and respected father.

He said...

he was relieved knowing that I'd had a good life...

as a professor's daughter.

How can I call a person like him a human?

I don't care if my parents...

are poor or uneducated.

That doesn't matter to me.

Doesn't he know why I've had hard times?

I shouldn't have looked for him.

I don't care who my birth father is.

Now that you found him,

all the thoughts that have been bothering you are gone.

Do you have any idea how much Mi Rae loves Hyun Jae?

She really wants to marry him.

I know that.

And I think you are right.

When you first met Hyun Jae, you said you had a bad feeling.

I guess you felt that way because of all this.

What do I do?

I can't tell Mi Rae not to get married to Hyun Jae.

I don't want to be a mom who stands in her daughter's way.

I just can't do it.

You're not standing in her way. You have no choice.

How would we possibly let Mi Rae marry Hyun Jae like this?

That's impossible.

What do we do?

Min h*, this marriage can't happen.

His long-lost daughter is his soon-to-be in-law?

Our genealogical records will get all messed up.

It's absolutely preposterous.

Aunt, have some water.

We can't be sure if Hyun Jae will accept this.

You know what young people these days are like.

Young people these days still have parents.

Hyun Jae has to give up on his marriage...

for his grandpa.

What do you think, Min h*?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Are you really okay with this marriage?

I can't let this happen.

Kyung Chul.

Kyung Chul, come on out.

Kyung Chul!

Being stuck in your room won't solve anything.

- Aunt, please...
- Hey, go bring your dad.

I'm home.

Great Aunt, you're here.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Hey, will you be quiet?

You're being so loud.

Kyung Chul, do you want me to call Jung Ja...

and ask what Jung Eun is doing?

Dad, have a seat.

Don't call her.

Stay out of this.

She probably didn't tell her mother-in-law about me yet.

If I stay out of this, who else can help you here?

I'm her aunt.

And Jung Ja is a close friend of mine.

We both are women, so we speak the same language.

Do you think Jung Ja will let Hyun Jae and Mi Rae get married?

Mom, what's going on?

I told you this when we first met Jung Eun.

I said she seemed somewhat familiar.

They say blood is thicker than water.

But how could you not recognize...

your own daughter when she was right there?

- Aunt.
- Gosh, Kyung Chul.

You deserve this.

She must've been frustrated.

Father, you should eat.

I don't even deserve to eat.

I was glad that my daughter was adopted by affluent parents,

but that's not something I should be happy about.

Because of me,

she has gone through all the trouble she doesn't deserve.

I don't deserve to eat at all.

Min h*.

What should I do now?

She won't forgive me even if I give her my everything.

And that's what I deserve.

Kyung Chul, stop crying.

I thought things were going well for Hyun Jae's marriage.

Is there a jinx or what?

So Mi Rae's mother is...

Grandpa's long-lost daughter?

Yes.

Then what happens next? What about Hyun Jae's marriage?

I don't know. I don't think he can get married.

Why not?

They are not related by blood.

That doesn't matter.

Your dad is your grandpa's son.

Hyun Jae is so much in love. And you want to stop him?

I'm not trying to stop him. It's just the situation we're in.

Dad.

It takes some time to clear up a misunderstanding.

You've taken...

good care of your health to meet Jung Eun.

You don't want to grow weak after finding her.

You've led a good and honest life.

If I misunderstood you and said something to hurt you,

would you just accept it without doing anything?

You should eat.

I'll eat later.

I'm glad that you will.

Honey, I think we should put off their wedding for now.

And what should we say for the reason?

We should make something up.

We can't let them get married just like this.

I don't know what's the right thing to do.

If Mi Rae's mom is Father's daughter,

will she be put on our family register right away?

I asked Hae Jun about the legal issues.

What did she say?

She said she'd look into it.

She will get back to us soon.

Yes. I looked into it.

Yoon Jae is home now.

Yes.

You can visit me whenever it's convenient for you.

Okay.

Is there no end to your work?

Do you really have to work at home?

I don't want my clients to feel like they're alone.

You look so cool when you work.

Actually, I get that a lot as well.

I guess we have a lot in common.

Oh, right.

Your brother made an appointment at my clinic.

I saw his name on the patient list.

He asked me to make an appointment, and I said no.

I guess he made an appointment himself.

I don't know why he's trying to be close to us all of a sudden.

His wife wants to give us some side dishes.

They probably feel bad that they didn't take good care of you.

Thank you for trying to make me feel better.

I just want us to live together without caring about others.

That's impossible.

If that's what you want, you shouldn't have gotten married.

You must be tired after the tour.

No. I had a lot of fun.

I like to look around for things.

I see. You did seem excited every time you saw something new.

What do you think of the wedding dress...

I tried on earlier?

I said you looked beautiful like 132 times.

- I just want to hear it again.
- You do?

Hang on.

- It's Soo Jae.
- Okay.

Hey, Soo Jae. What's up?

I was just wondering if you were doing okay.

Gosh, you sound so mature now.

I'm with Mi Rae now. Your future sister-in-law.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

- Are you surprised?
- No.

We should eat together sometime. I will call my brother too.

That sounds nice.

Let's eat together some time.

Okay. I should go. Bye.

The poor guys.

- Hey.
- What?

This is a photo of us.

It is.

When did you switch it to this?

A while ago. But I'll switch it again.

Why?

I have a photo I like more now.

Let me see it.

I won't show you.

Mom.

You just got back?

Yes.

I tried on some wedding gowns.

- Did you?
- Yes.

I found one I liked today,

but I'll try one more shop.

Okay.

Do you feel unwell?

No, I'm fine.

I don't think you are.

I'm just a bit tired.

Then I'll let you get some sleep.

Mi Rae.

Sit down.

Okay.

I have something to say to you, Mi Rae.

I'd like you to do as I say without asking questions.

What?

It's about your wedding.

Okay.

Can we push it back a little?

I think we're going a bit too fast.

What do you mean?

I'll meet with Hyun Jae's family and set another date further back.

Why?

We have our reasons.

Dad. What is this about?

I can't tell you just yet.

I just need you to know...

our family's in no position to marry you off right now.

What is it? Is something wrong?

You don't know either?

Grandma and Dad want me to push back my wedding.

Why should we postpone it?

I can't think of a reason.

Mi Rae.

Don't worry.

I am worried.

Nothing bad will happen.

Hearing you say that...

makes me feel better.

Hi, Dad.

Are you home?

Yes. Soo Jae called a while ago.

He's home now.

Hyun Jae.

Yes?

We must talk in person.

When is the earliest we can meet?

Okay, sure. I'll see you then.

Hey. Ms. CEO and sister-in-law.

You're here early.

Why are you here already?

Dad's dropping by.

He said he'd like to see me before work.

He's planning to see you before coming to talk to me.

Did he ask to see you too?

Yes.

Why did he say he'd come here?

What did he tell you?

He just said he'd like to talk in person.

That's what he said to me too.

Did he?

Let's go.

You must've gotten up early.

Good morning.

- Hello, Ms. Sim.
- Hello.

Good morning.

Your father's here.

I let him into your office.

He's here already?

He's way too punctual.

Dad.

Hello. You're ready to work?

Yes.

What do you have to say that you came to my humble office?

Is this a period drama?

No, Father. Pray, speak.

Your smile is making it harder for me to talk.

What's going on?

I got a bit worried when you called last night.

Hyun Jae.

Your wedding.

Yes.

I'd like to push it back.

Why?

Something came up, and you can't marry on time.

If you just say you want us to postpone the wedding...

without saying why,

I can't accept it.

I know you'll find it hard to accept.

But I'd like you to.

We'll meet with Mi Rae's parents...

and set a new date for the wedding.

Did you clear this with her family?

We must discuss it now.

I'm sorry.

Come in.

- Father.
- Hi.

- Sit over here.
- Thanks.

Did Hyun Jae...

I apologize.

Did you talk to my brother-in-law?

This is your workplace.

You can call him as you see fit.

Okay, then. Would you like some tea?

No, I had a cup with Hyun Jae.

Did you tell him who Mi Rae's mother is?

I couldn't yet.

I just said we should postpone the wedding.

Did you find out what I asked?

Yes, I did.

Mi Rae's mother...

can submit a request to confirm the parent-child relationship.

And if she's ruled a biological match,

she'll get put on your father's family relations report...

as his daughter.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

If Mi Rae's mother and your father...

legally recover their relationship as father and daughter,

then their marriage...

will be impossible.

They can marry if my father doesn't recover legal paternity?

It depends on what your father...

and Mi Rae's mother decide to do.

But your father found his long-lost daughter...

he has been looking for all his life.

Wouldn't he want to make it legal?

Do you think so?

This is just my opinion as a lawyer.

The elderly feel strongly about blood.

And he said that it was his fault for losing her.

He must feel guilty too.

I think he'd want to do all he could for her.

I think I'd want to do all I could too.

You should tell Hyun Jae as soon as possible.

You can't put it off forever.

Come in.

- Hae Jun.
- Yes?

Did my dad say something...

when he came by to see you earlier?

As in what?

Are you saying he just dropped by to see you...

after talking to me?

Are you saying that isn't a good enough reason?

Out of the blue, he told me that my wedding needed to be put off...

without even telling me why.

I just got the feeling...

that he couldn't tell me why because it was something huge.

Tell me whatever it is you know.

I know nothing about this though.

You should ask your father.

Darn.

- You're here.
- Hey.

Did you have to ask a busy man out to lunch?

As if you are actually busy.

I am.

I didn't get to ask you last night,

but do you know what's going on with our family?

Regarding what?

Dad and Grandma want...

to postpone my wedding.

- Why?
- That's what I want to know.

That's why I asked you to have lunch with me today.

Postponing the wedding isn't a big deal though.

You will still get to marry him.

Just don't read too much into it.

Also, listen to Mom and Dad.

Especially Mom. She's been having a hard time.

Everything is for your sake.

I can't tell Hyun Jae about this until I know why.

His parents will think we're being rude.

I'll look into it.

I'm sure it's nothing, so don't worry too much.

Now, order our lunch. I can't stick around for long.

Hey, Saet Byul.

Yu Na isn't coming in today, so you can come by.

Got it. I'll help you improve your sales today.

Welcome.

Thank you.

You have to buy that.

I will.

Are you here to get something?

It's my day off, so I'm here to look around.

Go ahead, then.

Sure.

It was a coincidence that we ran into each other.

I know.

Where are you headed next?

That store at the end of the block.

I don't have romantic feelings for you.

I'm not suggesting that we be friends either.

Got it.

I'm the general manager at Bong Food,

and you were Bong Food's employee.

Neither of us should cross that line.

Sure thing.

Saet Byul.

Welcome, sir. What can I get you?

Everything here.

Really?

- As if.
- Seriously?

Well...

The vanilla butter cookie and the mint chocolate chip.

I'll take five each.

- Please wait while I get you those.
- Got it.

[Soo Jae, Yu Na]

[I wish Star Macarons the best! Hyun Jung Hoo]

Here you go.

Right.

You and Yu Na.

Why don't I try to get you two to be friends again?

Saet Byul, I want Yu Na to have a good life.

Does that include her dating another guy?

Isn't she already with someone new?

I want her to be happy.

That's what I want.

- Hello. Please take a seat.
- You too.

My wife told me about...

meeting your father.

Is everyone in your family aware of this?

Not our children.

We told Mi Rae...

that her wedding should be postponed.

That's also what I told Hyun Jae.

I don't know how we should sort out this mess of a problem.

What does your mother think?

She thinks that the children...

shouldn't get married.

She doesn't think that this kind of marriage...

can be accepted by social norms.

What does your father think?

Their marriage isn't on his mind right now.

He's currently overwhelmed by the guilt of losing her.

I'll address you as Soo Jung's brother.

That's not necessary.

What is your take on this?

Could you accept this marriage?

I'm trying to think of a way to make it possible.

What did you want to talk about?

Always so impatient.

Didn't you say you had something to say as well?

Right, but you go first.

Then, I'll go first.

Sure.

My parents want to postpone our wedding.

What should we do?

- Are you upset?
- Of course not.

That's what I wanted to tell you as well.

My parents suggested the same thing.

What?

Maybe our parents agreed on this first.

Is that so?

I was told to accept this without asking why.

That's what they told me too.

Then...

Could our parents have agreed on this first?

Why did they feel the need to agree on this though?

I doubt there will be anything to worry about.

We're simply pushing back the wedding,

which many couples do.

I guess.

Right, so don't worry too much about this.

Got it.

I won't worry if that's what you want.

Thank you.

By the way, Ms. Sim...

You seem to have something to say, so go ahead.

You saw my children, right? Ha Neul, Ba Da, and Hae.

Yes, your adorable kids.

I would like to arrange a field trip for them to the law firm.

It won't be possible though, right?

What they experience while growing up is important.

I thought if they saw where I worked,

it could help them dream bigger.

Ha Neul, Ba Da, and Hae could want to become lawyers.

You seem like a cheerful person who likes to joke around...

but not when it comes to your children.

I love them so much.

Don't I sound more cheerful when I talk about them?

No, you become all serious.

And it reminds me of my father.

Okay, then.

Bring your children here for a field trip.

Thank you so much.

After hours though.

Yes, Ms. Sim.

[Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae]

I know you'll find it hard to accept.

But I'd like you to.

Something must be going on.

Honey.

- I'm home.
- Hey.

I met your brother.

My brother?

Yes, Hyun Jae's father.

Hyun Jae's grandfather is your father,

so Hyun Jae's father is your brother.

Did he call you?

No, I'm the one who suggested that we meet.

We have the wedding to consider.

We pushed it back for now, but that can't be a solution.

Things are rough for you as is,

and I didn't want...

to burden you with this matter.

Between your father, you,

and your brother,

I figured that your brother would have the most balanced view.

What did he say?

He's trying to look for a way to let the children marry.

I doubt he'll find one though.

Mother, you must take charge.

How could I possibly do that...

when Kyung Chul wants me to stay put?

Family members shouldn't sit idly by during a crisis.

She's your brother's only child.

How can she be his only child when Min h*'s in the picture?

Don't you say things like that.

She's the only child of his that is related by blood.

In times like this, you must step up...

as an elder of this family and play your part.

Besides, Kyung Ae and Min h*...

might not be keen on accepting Jung Eun.

What? Why not?

Who would inherit Uncle Kyung Chul's assets?

If Aunt Kyung Ae gets wind of you speaking that way about her,

she'll get the wrong idea about all of us.

What do you mean?

We only have a nice roof over our heads thanks to them.

You sound ungrateful.

So Ra!

Mom, don't you dare mention his inheritance.

Why shouldn't I when it means everything?

Shut it, all of you.

You know what?

I should have a word with Kyung Chul.

Mother, we'll go with you.

Not us though.

I don't want to get involved in this mess.

It's giving me a headache.

- Honey, you'll join us, right?
- What?

Yes, that I should.

Did you meet with Hyun Jae?

Yes.

I spoke to him.

Will he listen to you?

Yes.

What good will postponing it do? They'll need to know eventually.

Would that change anything though?

They might not be able to get married.

But they're not blood-related.

We'll turn a blind eye if push comes to shove.

What about them being legally married?

Registering their marriage could be an issue.

Would Father want to claim his daughter...

when he has lived away from her for so long?

That may be logical for us,

but who knows what Dad and Jung Eun would want?

So what if I got tuberculosis?

We should've died together if it came to it.

Why did you tear me away from you?

Dad.

Come in.

Dad,

you shouldn't skip your meals.

Now that you have found Jung Eun,

you should stick around for as long as you can.

Maybe it was all for nothing.

Her life was perfectly fine,

so it kills me to think...

that I may have ruined it.

Dad,

you are the pillar of this family.

We can't see you be this weak.

Give Jung Eun time, and she'll see the truth.

You should stay strong until then.

Don't you still have many things to tell her?

Dad, you wrote a letter...

on her birthday every year.

What about those?

She should get to read them.

Kyung Chul!

Gosh, she's back.

You should rest. I'll talk to her outside.

Sure.

Get some rest.

Goodness. Kyung Chul!

Aunt Kyung Soon, Father went to bed.

- Already?
- Goodness.

- Gosh.
- Aunt Kyung Soon, you're here.

- Good evening.
- Welcome.

Why don't we sit down?

Sure.

We had a family meeting of our own,

and it seemed as though Mother should offer her help.

Mother, go ahead.

I have thought about it, and I'm the only one who can help.

I'm her blood relative.

So I called Jung Ja to arrange a meeting with Jung Eun.

Her mother-in-law might not be aware of this.

Wouldn't this put her in a predicament?

I think you should wait until Father tells you otherwise.

She might find it more comfortable to talk to her aunt.

I mean, they're related by blood.

Let us have her contact information.

Mother and I will clear all misunderstandings.

I'd rather you stay put.

We'll handle this ourselves.

How can I sit by and do nothing when I'm her aunt?

We're grateful for the offer, Aunt Kyung Soon.

But I must ask you to be patient.

How am I supposed to be patient?

What if his health takes a turn for the worst?

His appetite has been picking up.

- I'm here.
- Hey, Hyun Jae.

I see you're all here.

Is something going on? What brings you all here?

Nothing, really. We were just about to leave.

- Honey, let's go.
- Sure.

Mother, shall we?

- We'll get going, then.
- Sure.

- We'll head home.
- Good night.

- Good night, guys.
- You too.

Now I'm annoyed.

We're stressed out as is, and they made it worse.

There's no need to be annoyed.

Don't let them bother you.

How can I not be bothered?

What has gotten you all upset?

Why are you here unannounced?

Must I always call in advance...

when I'm your son?

Whatever.

Why did everything get twisted?

Have you had dinner?

Dad, I can't accept this without knowing why.

What about this can't you accept?

How can I push back our wedding...

when you won't give me a reason as to why?

Of course, there's a reason.

Why else would we want to postpone this wedding?

- Honey.
- Just tell him everything.

He won't leave until he has answers.

Look at him asking for one.

Tell me, Dad.

Just so you know,

I wasn't fond of Mi Rae's past...

when you first told me about her,

but I gave you my blessing because I knew how much you loved her.

Right, and I'm grateful.

Honey.

We should tell him once time has passed.

Things haven't been sorted out yet.

Why should that burden only fall on you?

Why struggle with it alone...

when you have a wife and children?

He should know since this concerns him.

Mom's right.

Your grandfather's...

long-lost daughter.

She's Mi Rae's mother.

What?

The shock is still fresh for us as well.

How could our fates be this entwined?

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

I know.

But I don't know why I feel sorry.

I don't know what to do.

Me neither.

We should find a way.

To make everyone happy.

Hae Jun knows it.

I asked her for legal advice.

Gosh, we are out of side dishes.

I should call Mom.

Don't call her. She's having a hard time.

Why? Is Mom sick?

It's not like that.

I'm not supposed to tell anyone about this.

But we're married.

There should be no secret between us.

Of course. A married couple shouldn't have a secret.

If we have a secret, we will end up growing apart.

What is it? Just tell me.

What the heck, I need someone to talk to, Father.

What is it?

Well...

The thing is... My gosh.

So...

Grandfather...

recently found his long-lost daughter.

She's Mi Rae's mother.

That's just ridiculous.

Are you serious?

Yes.

What... How is that possible?

I know.

It doesn't make sense.

But it's true.

How could such a thing happen?

I know. I'm just... My gosh.

Who is it?

What? It's Hyun Jae.

Does Hyun Jae know?

Not yet.

But I'm not sure.

Hey, it's you.

I was on my way home, and I wanted to talk to you.

Me? About what?

I'm on my way from my parents'.

I heard everything.

Well...

Father...

asked me to take care of the legal issues.

And you will find out once you look into it.

If your grandfather...

and Mi Rae's mother restore their relationship,

I'm afraid you won't be able to register your marriage.

Does Grandpa want to restore his relationship with her?

I don't think he has made any decision yet.

And this isn't just about Grandpa.

What do we do with your marriage?

Does Mi Rae know?

I don't think she knows.

What are you doing now?

What about you?

I'm thinking of you.

But I won't tell him that.

No. I should tell him.

[I'm thinking of you.]

I'm thinking of you.

I'd like to meet you tomorrow. I have something to give you.

Please have a seat.

Why did you want to see me?

These are the letters he wrote on your birthdays.

He wrote letters that he could never send out.

And they finally found their owner.

Do you remember anything about when you lost your parents?

No.

I just remember that I was distressed.

When are you going to meet your father again?

I don't want to see him again.

I regret finding him.

If I didn't find him,

Mi Rae and Hyun Jae would've gotten married without any problems.

And he would've been my son-in-law's grandpa with a fine personality.

You know what it's like to live without knowing anything...

about your birth parents.

Weren't you glad when you met your father?

Didn't you feel better...

when you met him...

for the second time?

Father says he lost...

He claims that he lost me,

but I think he abandoned me.

And he got a son...

who could replace me.

And he devoted his life to his adopted son.

So he didn't mean it when he tried to find me.

No, that's not true at all.

What did Father...

sacrifice when he tried to look for me?

Were you happy living...

as my father's son?

You don't have to answer me. I know well about your relationship.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I don't want to take the letters.

Please.

What is that?

It's nothing.

Oh, come on.

You're carrying it, and it's nothing?

Did you meet with Mr. Lee again?

No. I'll go to my room now.

My goodness.

Weren't you glad when you met your father?

It's good to see you eat well.

Min h* told me to eat well.

To get the energy back to explain the misunderstanding.

You believe anything he says, even if it were a complete lie.

I should believe my own son.

Kyung Soon!

I'm in here!

So,

I called Jung Ja.

I said I'd come over.

I'll go over there, meet Jung Eun, and explain everything.

Does Mi Rae's grandmother seem to know?

I asked a few questions but I don't think she does.

Don't go over there.

Why are you always telling me not to do something?

Kyung Soon. If you're told not to, don't do it.

My goodness.

- What?
- Kyung Soon.

What? Goodness.

Give me Ms. Yoon's address.

What for?

I don't think I should sit and wait for her to forgive me.

I must do something to convince her.

Hello?

Jung Eun?

Come downstairs. I'm outside your home.

You can't come here.

Don't you want to know where your mom is?

Let's go see her.

And we can talk.

Then you won't misunderstand me anymore.

Oh?

That's Mom and Hyun Jae's grandfather.

Will you not visit your mom?

I will.

Okay.

Hello, Grandfather.

Hi, Mi Rae.

We're done talking. I'll go now.

Sir. I'll drive you back.

No, it's fine.

Mom. What was he here for?

What's going on?

Mom, what is it? Talk to me.

Will you not tell me?

Did Hyun Jae's grandfather say something?

What would he have to say to you?

He's...

my birth father.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to get in your way.

You should be blessed...

for finding and marrying a good man.

But I got in your way, and I'm sorry.

How is that your fault?

It's not.

Hyun Jae's grandfather...

being your father...

It's not your fault.

It feels like it is.

You're so happy these days.

I want to let you be happy.

Mom.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

I'm fine.

- I'm sorry.
- Mom.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to get in your way.

You should be blessed...

for finding and marrying a good man.

But I got in your way, and I'm sorry.

[Hyun Jae]

Hi.

What time are you free today?

I have something to say.

I do as well.

Wear your seatbelt.

Okay.

Give me the address.

It's...

I don't know what I should say or how I should say it.

Same here.

I still can't wrap my head around it.

I don't know what to do.

To think that our lives could have a different outcome...

depending on what others decide.

Never did I expect that.

This is one of those moments...

where we should come together...

and think of a solution that could please us all.

This is one of those moments...

where we should take time apart...

and see where our paths lead us.

I feel bad for my mom.

I love you, Hyun Jae.

But I can't let my mom sacrifice her own life...

so that I can be in love.

All her life, she has been holding back her desires.

Now that she has found her biological father,

I want to respect her wishes and the choice that she makes.

I won't let her sacrifice herself for me.

She shouldn't be forced to have a relationship...

with anyone.

What about me, then?

What am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry.

[It's Beautiful Now]

Hyun Jae, who is always so tidy, was living in a mess of a house.

Do you only care about your son and not about your father?

She's all you care about right now.

My brother didn't abandon you.

Please don't think that way.

When is your sister getting married?

You recently had lunch with her soon-to-be in-laws.

It's Hyun Jae.

Since you can't break things off right away,

you are going to take time apart and prepare for the inevitable?

Not all couples in love end up getting married.

I miss you.

Couples break up all the time.

I am still young and have many options in life.
