01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Is it really yours, Jason?

(Episode 7)

Are you absolutely sure?

It's a misunderstanding, ma'am.

Is he even thinking straight?

It's okay, Jason.

It's okay.

Don't cry, Jason.

But it really is mine.

I'm not lying.

Jason.

Come here, boy.

But...

h*-gyung.

There must've been a misunderstanding.

Let me talk to him first.

Is that okay with you?

You should meet Tommy...

What about my Tommy?

No, it's okay.

It's not your fault. It's okay.

Jason, say sorry to Tommy.

No.

Listen to Jason first and...

Mind your own business.

Hey.

Go say sorry.

Mom?

I was about to leave.

One second.

I'm really sorry.

I'll talk to Jason...

and make sure this never happens again.

I'm really sorry.

Hello.

Seo-yoon, are you okay now?

- Are you good now? - Yes.

- Grandpa. - Yes?

I want to take a picture with your camera.

One second.

Here. Turn it on.

Press this button.

Okay.

Have you seen Min-h* recently?

No, I haven't met him.

You should meet him more often.

Okay.

Let me take a picture of you.

- Okay. - Well...

Sure.

One, two, three.

You're like a photographer.

Let me see.

- It's Grandpa. - Nice.

I promised to look at the stars with Seo-
yoon.

Promise?

Nothing.

Say that again.

With whom? What did you promise?

Who was there? Grandpa and who?

Tae-rin's grandma and Seo-yoon's grandma.

When?

The day of the draw.

And?

What did Seo-yoon's grandma say?

Sorry?

She must've talked to Grandpa.

What did they talk about?

Lee Min-h*. Your hand.

Bring your phone.

Even I was angry about Jason.

Tommy must've been upset.

That's what kids are like.

I'm worried...

about how soft-hearted you are.

What are you trying to say?

The woman in Class B.

I heard her kid is moving to Class A.

Says who?

She said it with her own mouth.

Since when was it that easy...

to get into Class A at Big Parker?

Did she say that?

Her kid is moving to Class A?

It's not true. Right?

Did she not hear...

that she must leave if she doesn't get
enough votes?

- Really? - On the day of voting,

I'm going to show her.

Then I'll be against it for sure.

I thought you had become soft-hearted.

Do you know how surprised I was?

I was close.

All done.

Dang it.

What's wrong?

The TR proposal. Have you seen it?

Why would I?

We only need to make the meeting happen.

Right?

Gosh, what an eyesore.

- Is it that bad? - Don't pay attention to it.

If you read it, you won't be able to stand it.

It'll only give you more work.

You think I don't know Ha Sa-na?

I have no expectations of her.

Show me. I'll only read it.

I'm on cloud nine right now.

I should read it when I'm generous. Give it to
me.

Let me see.

Is this supposed to be a proposal?

Even if I find the TR CEO,

I could never show this.

First, send me the file.

Pardon?

Are you going to fix it?

If I feel like it.

- Okay. - Gosh, that woman...

(Madam Shin's Gukbap)

(Grand Award Winner Hong Seo-yoon, )

(Madam Shin's Granddaughter)

Gosh.

We're closed.

Mom.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Well...

Mom. Help me.

There you go again.

I've thought about it over and over,

and you're the only one I have.

What is it this time?

The money we saved to move to Gongnam
Apartment.

I lost it all.

What? How?

We were a little short, so I spent it all...

on...

cryptocurrency.

What? Cryptocurrency?

Gosh. You idiot.

You saw what I went through...

because of your father's money problems.

- I know. - Yet you're doing this to me?

My goodness.

Yes, I deserve it.

I deserve more. I'm crazy.

My goodness.

I'm sorry.

Can you help me out one last time?

Right now, we're about to lose the store.

We won't be able to move.

We'll have to live on the street.

I don't know.

No.

I did that for Jung-eun and Seo-yoon.

But it went under.

Don't think about hitting the jackpot.

You said it's for Jung-eun and Seo-yoon.

Then what can't you do?

Do what?

- Work here. - Mom!

Work here...

and save money.

No.

Then live on the street. It's your call.

But...

Mom!

But...

Look at Mommy.

So adorable.

Seo-yoon.

You'll be moving to Class A starting
tomorrow.

- Are you happy? - How?

I didn't take the test.

I took care of it.

Am I moving to Class A now?

Of course.

Mom, are you happy?

I'm very, very happy.

Now you and Tommy are both in Class A.

You worked very hard.

So cute.

- Good morning. - Jinny.

Seo-yoon.

Go pee before going to preschool.

Okay.

Where's Jae-man? Still in bed?

He went out early in the morning.

He's been busy avoiding me lately.

He leaves early in the morning...

and comes home late at night.

Did you fight again?

Oh, I don't know.

Today is an important day.

I don't even want to think about him. It's bad
luck.

Watch your mouth.

Okay.

You know what day it is today.

- There's voting. - Exactly.

Can you bring her psychological test
result...

after her academy?

Okay. Call me when you're done.

You had a tough time...

driving Seo-yoon around, Mom.

So let me give you a hug.

- Come here. - No thanks.

- Come here. - Stay away.

- Thank you. - I don't need it.

What are you doing?

Wait and see...

how this awful proposal changes.

I'll finish it before I leave tonight.

Nice.

It's a special day.

It'll be like an offering.

What? What day is it today?

You don't have to know.

Mr. Kim, Ms. Lee's showing what she's got.

Do you want to watch?

I'm sure she'll take care of it.

Keep it up.

Is everything all right with him?

I'm not sure.

He's returning from Director Yoon's office.

I'm Senior Manager Lee Jung-eun...

from Aaes' Marketing Team.

I have a document for the CEO of TR.

Pardon?

Can you...

please pass it on?

Wait.

Excuse me.

I couldn't meet the CEO.

I'll take responsibility for TR.

Are we good now?

Don't mess with my team.

How are you going to take responsibility?

Whether I have to take a break or quit,

I'll get out of your sight.

Isn't that what you wanted from the
beginning?

I never thought you'd run away.

Say whatever you want.

What?

You.

Have you ever wondered why it was so hard
to reach TR?

Did you think they'd meet you...

if you gave them a lame proposal in Aaes'
name?

Who said it was lame?

You think it's easy to persuade anyone...

in this field?

No desperation. No substance.

A proposal that only looks fancy on the
outside...

only for your performance?

I wouldn't read it either.

Watch your mouth.

Hey!

- Mommy. - Mom.

- Mom. - Mom.

I'm done.

They always come running during the break.

But how come they aren't here today?

I know.

I'll go find them.

No, don't worry.

Leave them. They'll come in due course.

Sit down.

Tae-rin.

Do you want to visit Class A together?

Why?

We'll be moving to Class A starting
tomorrow.

- Why bother? - Because...

I'm curious.

And Min-h*'s there too.

Min-h*?

Oh, you want to see him.

Then you should've just told me.

No, that's not it.

No need to say it. Let's go.

Min-h*.

Don't.

It's break time. Come on.

I guess they can't talk in here.

Hey.

Are you allowed in here?

You'll get in trouble.

But it's recess.

Who cares? It's fine.

We're moving to Class A starting tomorrow.

Really? That's great.

Why is it so boring here during break time?

Let's go out and play.

Yes, let's go play with our grandmas.

Can I come with you?

Of course. Come with us.

You're holding hands.

- Hey. - Hey.

Mom?

Lee Min-h*. Where are you going?

Hello.

We're going to meet our grandmas.

Grandmas?

- Return to your seat. - Okay.

Is this your class?

- No. - No.

Return to your class.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

How is...

Seo-yoon's test result?

Here it is. You should take a look.

This will be Seo-yoon's class from now on.

She has finally reached Class A.

Thanks to you, I got here too.

Tae-rin's supposed to be in Class A too.

She's a winner of the speech contest.

If they're going to move us, they should just
do it.

Why bother with a vote?

They said it was only a formality.

Don't worry about it.

Okay.

What's taking them so long?

I guess you haven't made up your mind yet.

Pardon?

I expected you to vote in favor.

What's that look on your face?

You don't want them, even though you're
friends?

No, that's not it.

If Mom's not greedy,

she can't secure her child's place.

Only four children can be in Class A.

And if Claire and Stella move up...

What...

What are you saying?

I'm saying anyone beneath Tommy...

can be changed.

If you plan to give Sophie's spot to Claire,

it won't matter though.

You know what?

They were waiting in Class A.

They're acting like...

they've already moved to Class A.

What's going on?

I thought it was only a formality.

Now, shall we begin voting?

Yes, let's get it over with.

She always gets on my nerves.

We'll count the votes, then.

Two are against it.

It's all right.

Things will get better from here.

It's two to one.

Only one vote remains.

If the vote is tied,

the casting vote...

will be mine as I'm the chairwoman.

- Of course. - One more thing.

Should Claire's mom lose this vote,

Claire won't just lose her spot in Class A...

but will be forced out of Big Parker.

But Tommy's mom...

What are you talking about?

Why? Don't you remember?

That's what you said.

I'll do whatever you ask. Anything.

If she doesn't make it this time,

I'll accept whatever you decide,

whether it's demoting her to Class C...

or making her quit entirely. So...

Please give her one more chance. I beg you.

Please.

Tommy's mom, that's...

What is it? Isn't that what you meant?

That's how I understood it...

and why I gave you your last chance.

Then, let's check the remaining vote.

It seems as though Jason's mom...

has issues with me.

Thank you, all.

As decided by the vote,

Claire will no longer study at Big Parker.

Stella's mom, what about you?

Forget it.

We're leaving too.

Of course. Now I know why Sophie's so
smart.

Jung-eun, wait.

- Let go of me. - Hear me out.

Shut it.

So what if I had voted yes?

She still wouldn't have gotten in.

Tommy's mom was against it anyway.

Still, how could you do this to me?

I never thought Claire would get this far.

I...

even quit my job to support So-ra.

But still, I only barely made it this far.

Why help me in the first place, then?

How can you be this cruel?

- Jung-eun. - Don't call me like that.

I'm disgusted to hear you say my name.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Jung-eun,

but...

So-ra comes first.

I'm sure it's no different for you too.

So please... Just this once.

Just this once.

Are you playing me?

How does it feel to wake up from a dream?

What?

Did you think it'd be easy to climb up this
high?

You came to my house and begged...

which is why I gave you another chance.

You were delusional enough...

to dream of something bigger.

It was all in my head?

Why put it to a vote, then?

You should've just kicked me out then and
there.

Do you want to know why?

Now you know.

That's why Seo-yoon can't be in Class A.

- How... - Don't tell me...

you want us to be family or something.

I'd rather not be.

Then,

is my mother the reason Seo-yoon...

So I suggest...

you take this up with your mother.

Now, get out.

You, your daughter,

and Ms. Yoon.

Disappear from here.

"Ms. Yoon"?

Ju-hee?

Right?

Song Ju-hee.

Today,

I quit my job at the school.

Is it because of her?

Why are you quitting, not her?

Why, because of someone I don't even
know,

can't I go to the school I want?

Could it be...

Don't tell me it was you.

Song Ju-hee from Eunhae Girls' Middle
School.

That's you, isn't it?

Darn it!

(Mom)

Where are you?

I was just about to call you.

I have something to say,

so I'll see you at home.

No.

I'll come to you.

Seriously...

You got here early.

I have the report on Seo-yoon's mental state.

How is she?

It's not good.

Jung-eun,

it'll be best for her to quit the academy.

Why?

I discussed it with Dr. Park,

and Seo-yoon seems to have developed...

an obsession over her grades.

Remove her from all the extra classes for
now...

and let her get treated.

She'll get better with therapy.

Did something happen to you today?

Seo-yoon...

can't attend the academy anymore.

Why not?

Did she...

Did she not make it into Class A?

That's right.

She didn't make it.

It's for the better.

She can take a break...

and focus on getting better.

I'll do my best to help her.

Are you sure dropping out is for her own
sake?

Wh-What on earth are you saying?

How could you be in the dark?

Don't you know who caused this?

Jung-eun, use words I can understand.

Whatever.

Just like you did to me,

do whatever you please however you see fit.

Don't use Seo-yoon as an excuse!

As an excuse?

You...

I don't know why you're on my case,

but Seo-yoon's treatment is my priority.

How can you date at your granddaughter's
academy?

With Tommy's grandfather too!

- I... - Thanks to you, Mom,

we were kicked out...

not only from Class A, but from Big Parker.

Are you happy now?

So date all you want, darn it!

But...

Jung-eun.

Let me talk to Tommy's mom.

Gosh, no. Don't.

I can't believe I had you care for Seo-yoon...

after what you did to me.

I was out of my mind.

Was ruining my future not enough?

You had to ruin my daughter's too?

Lee Jung-eun.

Tommy's mom was that girl.

Song Ju-hee.

You quit your job because of her, and I
couldn't...

go to the foreign language high school!

Have you forgotten that?

How...

And now, you're doing the same to my
daughter.

Well, Ju-hee was ill at the time.

You...

This is how you always are.

Other kids are always your priority.

What about me, though?

What about my Seo-yoon?

Don't you see my scars?

You can't even see that your daughter is
hurting,

so who are you to treat others?

I...

You said...

You said you were all right.

Never have I been okay.

Is it over if I say I'm good?

How is it that you never asked me?

"Are you really okay?"

So that I wasn't a burden.

So that you'd have it easier as a single mom,

I didn't say anything.

Actually, I couldn't.

Not even once.

I'm done keeping it in.

If things are rough, I'll say so.

Jung-eun.

I...

didn't know you were hurting, and I'm sorry.

As if a belated apology would do me any
good.

Even now, you won't ask me if I'm all right.

Today has been the roughest...

and the most painful day.

One where I'm closest to losing my mind.

You know,

living as your daughter...

has been painfully challenging.

Don't call...

either me or Seo-yoon.

Oh, no.

What do I do?

My gosh, what do I do?

Mom's the reason.

It's all her fault.

(Kids' Drawing Contest)

Ji-a.

- Goodness! - Sorry I'm late.

- Have a good one. - Sure.

(Kids' Drawing Contest)

(Kids' Drawing Contest)

Do you have any idea...

how scared I was that day?

Like always, I never said a thing.

(Mom, it rained a lot today.)

Mom,

it rained a lot today.

Although I got a bit wet,

I made it home just fine.

I studied hard while waiting for you too.

Don't worry about me.

I'm tired, so I'll go to bed first.

I love you, Mom. From Jung-eun.

Gosh.

Mom...

What do I do?

What now?

What have I done?

Father.

That is where Min-h* studies.

I'm worried others might find out.

I handled it on my end,

- so... - You handled it?

Were you going to continue your
relationship...

with Seo-yoon's grandmother?

I didn't know it required your permission.

Don't you think about Min-h*?

You should ask yourselves that.

Father.

I'm his mother.

Does he seem fine to you?

Because of the stress...

Academic stress...

is what everyone experiences.

You two...

Your only goal is to make him your prized
possession.

From here on out,

don't go to Min-h*'s academy.

If that's what you want,

I'll do that.

In return,

you're to stay out of my business too.

- Father, please. - Father!

I had something to give back.

I can't accept this.

- Ms. Yoon... - I'm sorry.

Please...

Don't contact me.

You scared me.

My goodness.

What are you doing with the lights off, Jung-
eun?

Get out of the house. I don't want to see you.

Jung-eun. Please hear me out.

I'll take care of the money problem soon.

I'm going to raise Seo-yoon.

I don't need you or my mom.

So get out.

Dad.

Seo-yoon. You must be scared. Come to
Daddy.

Don't call her.

Mom.

Don't get in the way of her future. Get out
now.

Dad...

My baby.

It's okay, Seo-yoon.

It will just be the two of us now.

No, Mom.

I don't want that, Mom.

It will be all right.

I would have kicked you out too.

It's not some chump change we're
talking about.

Oh, dear.

So 200 million won?

Why do I keep messing things up?

You're not so bad.

Gosh, you know how I am.

Hey.

But of all the juniorsl've trained, you are...

I'm what?

You're the kindest.

Gosh, you might not be the smartest worker.

But your wife and your daughter are...

the center of your world.

That's all wives need from their husbands.

That's why I'm putting up...

with your drunk antics at this late hour...

even though you moved to a
different company.

Come here, you.

Gosh, stop it. That's gross. Sit back down.

Drink up.

Don't touch my hand.

- Seo-yoon. - Yes?

You'll go to a different academy now.

Why?

We'll go to a much better academy than Big
Parker.

So you don't have to worry about a thing.
Okay?

I'll come and pick you up later tonight.

What about Grandma?

I'll come and pick you up. You don't want
that?

It's not that I don't want you to come.

But it's just that Grandma has been
picking me up.

From now on, I'm going to do everything for
you.

No. I'm going to call Grandma.

No. You can't call her.

Don't call her.

How do you delete a number on this?

(Grandma)

Why are you deleting Grandma's number?

Why?

Hey, Seo-yoon. Your mom is dropping you off
today.

- Hello. - Hello.

For the time being, Seo-yoon...

will stay at preschool for the entire day.

Sure.

I guess she's not going to the
academy anymore.

Right.

Let's go.

Seo-yoon, shall we go inside?

All right. Let's take off your shoes.

Put on your indoor shoes.

(Searching for traditions)

Seo-yoon, what's wrong?

I can't remember my grandmother's number.

What was it?

Is it over if I say I'm good?

How is it that you never asked me?

You know,

living as your daughter...

has been painfully challenging.

How long do we have to wait for the level
test?

A month?

Is there a way to move it up?

I see. Okay. I understand.

Hello.

I have a daughter who will start
elementary school.

When is the earliest date...

for a level test?

Oh, right. She used to study at Big Parker.

She won the Grand Award at the
speech contest.

I see.

Okay.

It sure feels great...

to get rid of those nuisances.

This was long overdue.

But what's up with you two? Why the long
faces?

Tommy's mom. This way.

- Hello. - Gosh.

You're here.

My goodness. What's gotten into her?

I'm really sorry about what happened that day.

I'm sorry.

Why make a mistake to apologize for in the
first place?

- I shouldglue up that mouth of yours. -
What?

I heard you. I understand.

Ms. Song.

Everyone makes mistakes in life.

Right?

- Mistakes? - Yes.

You made the right decision.

Excuse me?

Thanks to that, your daughter can keep her
spot.

Right.

You were her friend but stabbed her in the
back.

- You. - Yes?

Watch your mouth.

Oh, right.

Didn't Jason barely pass the test to join
Class A?

Ms. Song. I must have lost my mind that day.

- Please. - Once a traitor,

always a traitor.

- Right? - You little...

Right.

I like ambitious people like you.

Now that I know what you're capable of,

you will be compensated without a doubt.

Pardon?

There will be a notice about openings in
Class B soon.

Jason'smom used to handle that.

Starting now, you'll be handling it.

You can make a few recommendations too.

Right.

Claire came to Big Parker with your
recommendation.

- Right. - Now that you've experienced what
it's like,

you won't make the same mistake twice.

Be careful whom you bring in this time
around.

How could you recommend a family like that?

I guess you're a bad judge of character.

Like attracts like?

Excuse me.

I need to get going.

Unbelievable.

I must have lost my mind.

I knew it.

Your head is clearly more suitable for
cracking eggs.

Come here. Let me crack one with your
head.

- Grandma. - You!

- Look at you. - Grandma.

Kid, you can try all you want to run away.

- I can easily grab you. - Grandma.

This isn't fair.

You can't use force on me.

If you don't think it's fair, grow up.

If Seo-yoon were here, we could'vetaken
you down.

My gosh. I do miss Seo-yoon and her family.

We're used to seeing them every day.

Not seeing them is making me feel lonely for
sure.

- I'm sure you feel the same way. - Yes.

I'm thrilled that I don't have to go to the
academy.

But it's a pity that I can't see Seo-yoon.

Same here.

Hey, why is the professor calling me?

I can't get in touch with Ms. Yoon.

I'm sure you know where I can find her.

I really don't know where she is. I swear.

Please help me. Tell me where she is.

She made sure that I wouldn't tell...

Come on.

So you did meet with her, right?

Where did she say she was going?

- Oh, dear. - Ma'am.

You can ma'am me, but I can't tell you even
in death.

Then pretend that you're dead and just tell
him.

Please tell me where she is.

Sir, should we all go on a trip together like
before?

Hey, she's not there. Never.

Where was that?

- Could she be at... - Dear me.

I don't know. I give up.

That's it.

Thank you, Tae-rin.

Seo-yoon.

Why are you so quiet today?

You didn't say a word on the way home.

Are you mad at me?

Grandma is my BFF.

"BFF"?

What's that?

See? You don't even know what it is.

I...

My gosh.

Seo-yoon. Wait up. We should go home
together.

Seo-yoon.

- Hello. - Hello.

What are you doing here?

Then you should have answered your phone.

I have nothing to say to you.

- Let's go. - My gosh, hold on.

Here.

What's this?

Here.

What's this?

Number seven, please.

Number seven, please.

- Seven! - The last number is...

(Myeongseong Elementary School)

- Number 17. - Here.

I'm number 17.

I believe this is the ball you saw...

on the day of the draw.

Someone wrote this post...

a few days after the draw.

But oddly enough,

it was deleted the next day.

This is the screenshotl took that day.

As you can gather from the post,

the whistleblowermust be someone from the

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Is this Myeongseong Elementary School?

Is there a teacher named Ms. Yu So-yeon?

We spoke on the phone earlier.

My name is Lee Jung-eun.

Not today.

I have somewhere to be in the afternoon.

What about the report to Director Yoon
today?

Things aren't looking good. You could lose
your job.

Even if I do, there's nothingl can do.

I really have to take the day off.

Go home after the report then.

I met with your husband.

I can totally understand how you feel now.

- But you still have to work. - My gosh.

This isn't about that.

Well, I'll get going.

Ms. Lee.

Ms. Lee.

My goodness.

Should we schedule the level test...

sometime next week for Class B?

Why are you scheduling the level test?

Becausel've always scheduled the level test.

That's my business.

I thought you were taking care of that.

Well, recently, I've been...

Jung-eun.

- What's she doing here? - I thought her kid
left.

Why are you here?

Do you still have business here?

Yes.

You took Seo-yoon's place, and I'm here to
get it back.

Get what back?

- What's going on? - I don't know.

- What is this? - What's she doing here?

Tell the receptionist to get her out of here.

Okay.

You'll want to listen to this.

What scene are you going to cause this
time?

You're the one who caused a scene...

on the day of the draw at Myeongseong
Elementary.

- What? - You rigged the draw.

- On the day of the draw? - She rigged what?

- She rigged the draw. - My gosh.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Have you lost your mind after getting kicked
out?

- My goodness. - Why does she have that?

- Isn't that the ball? - What?

- Is that the ball? - How does she have that?

- Why does she have it? - My gosh.

Goodness. How did that happen?

What's this?

Take a good look at it.

I asked you what it was.

It came from a trash can in your house.

You should know what it is.

No.

No.

Do you have proof?

Proof?

Can you prove your accusation?

How dare you accuse me...

of doing something so cheap and
disgraceful?

Get out.

Get out of here right now.

You...

Lee Min-h*! Pull yourself together!

Can you make sure he wins first place or
not?

I'm sure he can, ma'am.

It ends here.

You're dismissed.

I only hired you for a high price because...

you were becoming a teacher at
Myeongseong Elementary.

I'm sure you know who she is.

What is this?

Did you join hands to threaten me...

because you were both kicked out by me?

How dare you plot against me?

You'll deny it to the end?

Then how about this?

- What's this? - You're curious, aren't you?

We'll show you...

the dirty act you committed on the day of the
draw.

Then we can all watch it here.

No.

(Mother and Mom)

Your son can no longer attend our academy.

Ma'am.

It's game over for you.

What are you doing here all alone?

Come with me.

I'll wait for you.

I missed out on so much of your life...

because I was busy with work.

Now, I'll be there for everything.

Mom. I feel sick.

Grandma has to help him.

Jinny!

Stop!
