Who is it at this hour?
Why is she here this early?
Eun-sung.
What brought you here this early?
Where is Eun-u?
What?
I'm asking where Eun-u is.
Is he here?
What's wrong with you? You will scare Seung-mi.
Give Eun-u back to me!
What do you mean by giving him back?
You hid him away after you heard Grandma was looking for him.
What?
Otherwise, why would he disappear all of a sudden?
Eun-sung, what are you talking about? Why would I hide Eun-u from you?
Don't pretend as if you don't know! You abandoned Eun-u!
Why are you causing a scene here?
Come on. Let's talk downstairs.
If you couldn't reach me, you should have brought him to the police.
Why did you abandon my poor brother?
Come here.
Did I ask you to raise him?
Were you that scared about raising him?
Is that why you went all the way to Daegu to abandon him?
How could you do that?
I don't get what you're saying.
Explain what happened before you go nuts.
What are you doing barging in this early?
You abandoned Eun-u!
Remember these?
When you took Eun-u to Daegu,
he was wearing these.
Of course, I remember those.
I bought those myself, so wouldn't I?
Now, tell me.
Why do you think I abandoned Eun-u?
There is only one person in the world...
he would call Mom.
The one who knows he would die for chocolates and chocolate milk,
the one he would gladly follow to Daegu,
and the one Eun-u would call Mom...
Is there anyone else like that besides you?
I asked who bought him the chocolate milk,
and he said, "Mom."
Is that why?
Are you accusing me just because he said his mom bought him chocolate milk?
How could you?
No matter how much you are upset,
you can't do this.
For Eun-u...
you are the only mother he has.
That's what you think.
You know he's not sane.
He would call any old lady Mom.
He would never call anyone Mom except you!
My mom died when he was three years old.
Don't you remember?
When Dad remarried you,
I taught him the word "Mom" for more than a month
because he had never said it before.
I can't stand your nonsense anymore!
You're going over the line.
I raised him for seven years.
Exactly!
How could you abandon him after raising him for seven years?
Did you or anyone see that I abandoned him?
Did Eun-u say the one who took him there was me?
What's wrong with you?
He said his mom bought him the chocolate milk. That's all?
If you took him again...
Please bring him back to me, Mother.
Let's go inside.
Let's go home and ask Seung-mi when I got back last night.
Then let's go to my store.
I'll show you the customer who signed the contract yesterday.
Didn't you say Eun-u wouldn't follow a stranger,
so I would be the only one who would have been able to take him to Daegu?
Someone saw Eun-u walking alone on the way to the piano academy.
Let's check.
Sure.
Maybe you didn't take him yesterday,
but you were the one
who took him to Daegu the first time.
I will never forgive you.
Jun-se!
I'm sorry I followed you,
but I just couldn't leave you alone.
Hop in. I won't ask you anything.
Did you see...
anyone?
I saw the back of a lady.
I didn't see her face.
Mom, did you go outside?
Yes, I took the trash out.
Let's move to somewhere else.
Too many people know about our place.
Let's move.
Yes.
Let's do that.
The instructor said Eun-u didn't come until she sold the piano.
If he didn't go to the piano academy, where did he go?
I think he went there afterward,
found out the piano was gone, and lost his way while looking for it.
Anyways, why isn't Eun-sung back home? Who did she go with?
Well... That person...
You're here.
Yes. You're up early.
Did you come back alone?
Did she stay there to look for her brother?
No, she will be back soon.
Does Eun-sung's brother have a developmental disability?
Yes.
You're back.
Grandma...
I heard.
Mr. Pyo told me everything.
Take some rest upstairs.
Yes.
I asked who bought him the chocolate milk,
and he said, "Mom."
Are you accusing me just because he said his mom bought him the chocolate milk?
...that you lost him in Seoul, but he's not in the city?
So you just tell them you will find Eun-u on your own
and move out of that house before any of these happen.
She's making me worried.
I think she is sick. She has a fever, too.
Shouldn't we take her to the hospital?
Let her be sick.
She missed him by a whisker.
She must be dying inside.
Why is her life so unfortunate?
Her parents died, and she lost her brother, too.
If you have told me earlier, I would have treated her better.
Didn't I say that Eun-sung lost her parents?
Many people don't have parents, but only a few lose their brothers, too.
Do you feel sorry only for those who are in such misery?
It's because you used her.
It's your fault.
I've never used Eun-sung.
You used her to make us feel anxious.
You try very hard not to face reality.
Mom, what does she mean by that?
I'm heading out.
Ma'am.
The customer will sign for the gold one.
-Then write the contract. -Yes, ma'am.
You hid him away after you heard Grandma was looking for him.
Did she tell Hwan's grandma that I hid him away
because she thought that's the truth?
Hi, Seong-hui. What's going on?
Nothing. I called to say hi.
Is everything okay at your place?
What are you talking about? It's been crazy here.
For the first time since birth, Oh Yeong-ran wiped the floor
and did the laundry. Now, I'm even making abalone porridge.
Seong-hui.
How have you done housekeeping all these years?
This is hard labor that never ends.
Well... Good luck.
I guess she didn't tell them yet.
How much can I get for selling a piano?
Which brand and how old is it?
Which brand was it from again?
I don't know.
You have to know the brand and the year it was made to estimate the price.
I should have checked if I knew I was coming here.
Mother, you came home early.
How is Eun-sung?
I think she is totally out of energy.
I made her abalone porridge, but she wouldn't even have a sip.
Eun-sung.
Mr. Pyo hired a lot of people to search Daegu to find Eun-u.
He will find him soon.
What if he can't?
Why not?
Eun-u couldn't have gone far on his feet.
What if I can't find Eun-u forever?
Here. Sit up.
Have some porridge.
I don't feel like eating.
You should still eat even if you are suffering.
What do you mean you won't eat?
Grandma, I...
It's harder than the first time I lost him.
Are you saying you'll give up finding him?
Grandma.
Do you feel like it's the end of the world
because you missed him by a whisker?
You hate your stepmom who kicked you out as soon as your dad died, don't you?
Do you think you lost Eun-u because of her?
Grandma, you don't know anything. Don't say that to me.
Leave me alone.
If you lie down like this,
you're the one who is abandoning Eun-u.
You want to find your brother,
but you lost him again when you thought you had him.
Now that you have no idea when you'll be able to find him,
you are giving up everything, aren't you?
Grandma, how can you say that?
Do you know how much it hurts?
Why are you rubbing salt into my wound when you don't know anything?
When did I rub salt into your wound?
You did it when we lived together,
and you did it again when I came into your house.
You always irritate me.
See? You are still full of energy.
At least...
your brother is alive.
There are many people who wish their families
were alive somewhere
even if they don't get to see them
for the rest of their lives. Just like me.
Those without children can't understand...
how it feels to lose...
the one you gave birth to.
The feeling of someone hacking
at an already destroyed heart is...
what a parent who lost a child feels.
I...
I gave birth to Hwan's father when I was 19 years old as a widow.
Hwan's father...
He was 34 years old, and I was 53 years old.
That's when I lost him.
Still, for more than 20 years,
I have eaten, laughed,
and...
lived while sometimes irritating you.
Grandma.
People continue to live like this.
Because we can't die.
We shouldn't.
If you can't die,
you just move on.
Grandma...
Yes.
Get over it and move on.
You have to...
think about Eun-u who is waiting for you somewhere.
Let's eat.
Grandma.
-Piano! -Get out!
Kid, I'll beat you up if you come again.
Go away! Go!
I'll call the police!
For goodness' sake.
He looks like a disabled kid. Does he even know the police?
I'll call the police if he comes again.
I think he is an orphan.
Can a disabled kid play the piano?
Some do.
I should keep it as decoration instead of selling it for chicken feed.
I'll pay you 300,000 won.
Three hundred thousand?
Three hundred thousand...
Thank you. Come again.
Hey, did you skip lunch?
No money, no food.
Hey, you were at the piano store since this morning. Did you starve all day?
No money, never eat!
Where's your house? Where are your parents?
I can't say.
What do you mean? Do you have parents or what?
No?
Where have you been living?
Piano.
You lived in the piano?
Hey, Eun-sung.
I'm sorry.
I was sick yesterday.
I'm done.
You came when you're sick?
Did you deliver the milk?
He did it yesterday, too.
Where did you find a boyfriend like him?
Drink some.
What is it?
Park Jun-se's magical tea that will cheer you up.
It's sage.
I knew you'd know.
Let me see your face.
What are you doing?
Your small face has shrunk into a size of a bean.
Have you seen a bean this big?
Your face might disappear if you worry alone like that.
You have something else to worry about other than losing Eun-u again.
Something is holding you down.
Why did you meet your stepmother?
As soon as you got back from Daegu,
you went straight to meet her.
Does Eun-u going missing
have something to do with your stepmom?
What on earth...
happened to you?
What do you mean by delivery?
Didn't you know she does milk deliveries?
I mean...
How can she do that now?
She wants to pay back the money she borrowed from her friend.
It's probably not much.
You should give her the money and make her quit, Grandma.
Do you really think she will accept it?
And,
why would I give money to a completely able person?
Then why are you looking for her brother? It costs a lot of money.
That's for saving my life.
Grandma, aren't you exaggerating?
What do you mean she saved you?
You were fine when you got back after a week.
I'm saying I got back safe all thanks to Eun-sung.
Where and how did you get hurt?
I'm home.
You're here.
Come and eat breakfast.
I'll wash my hands first.
Hey.
Here. This is for today.
You told me to give you 5,000 won a day.
Is this yours?
What's up with her?
What are you doing?
-Give it to me. -It's okay.
-I will carry it for you. -I said it's all right!
Why did you have to be so stubborn?
Hey! Oh, my!
What have you done? We have to throw them away.
For goodness' sake!
-I'm sorry. -Oh, no. Put them back.
For goodness' sake...
Hurry and put them back.
MOTHER
Hello?
I sent a cab to the factory to pick you up at lunch.
Come. I need to see you.
So, have you calmed down now?
Is it something I can calm down about?
You're still saying that.
I can't believe I have to tell you this.
Whatever you do, it will never work.
You're wrong.
I...
I didn't come to convince you.
Let me make it clear.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't.
You said you were not here to convince me.
Didn't you lose Eun-u?
Do you think you will feel better if you blame me?
Then do so.
You can blame me for kicking you out
even if I went looking for you shortly afterward.
I will let you blame me for creating a situation
where Eun-u could go missing by kicking you two out.
Did you call me out to say that?
But that's all you should do.
Blame me for losing Eun-u because I kicked you out.
Don't say that I abandoned him.
Never say that to me or others.
Are you saying I shouldn't tell Grandma?
You might destroy Seung-mi's life with your misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
Do you have any evidence?
Did anyone see me?
Eun-u is the evidence.
Did he tell you himself?
It's possible to misunderstand me from your perspective,
but if you tell Grandma without any evidence,
you will destroy Seung-mi's life.
Hwan means the world to Seung-mi. If she can't marry him because of you,
you will tear her life into pieces.
Eun-sung,
I made it clear that it wasn't me.
I didn't do it.
You are right.
Because I don't have any evidence against you,
there is no point in telling Grandma.
This is what people call
having a conviction,
but no evidence.
You're here.
Seung-mi!
What brought you here to see me?
I had a meeting near your office.
I wanted to have lunch with you.
Do you want to have lunch with me?
Why suddenly?
Let's go. I'm hungry.
Yoo Seung-mi, be honest.
Why are you buying me lunch all of a sudden?
Do you think I'm stupid?
When we became classmates in our senior year,
you were uneasy around me because I was close to Eun-sung.
You were worried that I would tell people that your mom and her dad got married.
But you didn't.
I am grateful for it.
I'm good at keeping secrets.
I'm thankful for this time, too.
For what?
After my mom made a mistake, I went around looking for Eun-sung.
Because you told Eun-sung about it, Eun-sung didn't take me wrong.
Oh, that.
You would have been in big trouble without me.
Eun-sung lives in your boyfriend's house, doesn't she?
She told you.
I even saw him when I went to the restaurant she works.
He is hot.
I have known him since I was young,
so I don't like him for his wealth or appearance.
Anyways,
you must be nervous because of Eun-sung.
Why?
I heard his family doesn't know about you and Eun-sung.
If Eun-sung talks about it, it's over.
Eun-sung wouldn't do that.
What are you talking about?
She is enjoying her life leaving behind her missing brother.
She met a guy, too.
A guy?
Does she have a boyfriend?
Didn't you know?
Eun-sung.
Jun-se!
You didn't say you were coming this morning.
I didn't have this plan earlier.
What plan?
Hop in first.
Hwan, it's been a while.
I guess your restaurant isn't busy. Can the owner just roam around like this?
Hop in. I'll drop you off at the bus stop.
No thanks.
It's a long walk to the bus stop.
Hop in.
I said no.
What's going on between them?
How can she do that?
Does she want you to shut up for Seung-mi while she abandoned your brother?
My heart hurts so bad
that I feel like I am not breathing.
Hey! You can't hold back after what she has done to you!
Tell Grandma about it.
If I do that, it's the end for Seung-mi.
Are you in the position to worry about her?
As she said, I don't have any evidence.
Who would believe Eun-u
especially when he didn't say it himself?
Besides...
It's what an autistic kid said.
People won't believe it.
You are driving me nuts.
Seung-mi's mother...
is a terrifying person.
If I tell Grandma,
she will find Eun-u before Grandma
and make him disappear forever.
Then are you going to wait
and watch Seung-mi's mom get a wealthy son-in-law?
If I tell Grandma without any evidence,
I'm scared that I might destroy Seung-mi's life.
Do you think Seung-mi really doesn't know about this?
That woman can deceive her own daughter.
Seung-mi doesn't know.
She cried her heart out when she heard Eun-u went missing.
My only hope is...
that Grandma finds Eun-u as soon as possible.
Even if Eun-u accuses Mother,
she would deny it with a smile.
Knock-knock.
It's a creamy abalone risotto.
Boss made it himself especially
for your good health.
Did you make it?
I made it with steamed rice, so it would be easy to eat.
Take your time talking and lift the burden off your shoulder.
I'll get going for you two girls to talk.
Hey.
Sometimes I feel sorry for you,
but when I see Jun-se,
I feel like you're the lucky one.
Come on.
You are crazy.
Hwan, Grandma told you to come downstairs.
Hwan, Grandma is giving us our monthly salary.
Why are we getting it from you and not the company?
Because you are part-timers who might quit any time,
you are not registered with the company.
Here. Yeong-ran.
Hwan and Jeong, here are your paychecks.
Yeong-ran and Jeong are paid for the days you worked.
For Hwan, it's for the month.
Mom, how much is this?
I don't know. I don't even want to count it.
I subtracted 10,000 won per day you took in advance.
Hwan,
I took 100,000 won off for the gift you got for Seung-mi's mom.
Six hundred sixty, six hundred seventy, six hundred eighty,
Six-hundred-ninety-thousand and-two-thousand won.
Just 692,000 won?
I got paid today.
How much should I give you?
What?
You told me to give you money once I get paid.
It's up to you.
You can't say that.
You should tell me the amount.
It's not up to the debtor.
Are you going to give me everything if I say so?
Stop.
You said it yourself.
We should clear the misunderstanding since we gave each other's bag back.
Why are you still being twisted?
Twisted?
About the bag, too.
You went missing after you took my bag.
Who wouldn't misunderstand you?
Your house phone was out of service.
You said my bag was at your place, but you didn't know the address.
How could I take you seriously?
All right.
I may be a jerk, but I don't act cheap.
I misunderstood you.
I said all right. Can't you hear me?
You used to follow me around to teach me, and now you're acting weird.
It's because I don't want to see you!
Do you think I am mad just about the bag?
I lost Eun-u because of you.
What?
If my phone didn't break,
I would have picked up Eun-u's call.
Then I never would have lost Eun-u.
What are you talking about?
On the day you broke my cell phone,
my brother went missing.
Because my phone was broken,
I couldn't get his call.
Let me go! I have to find my phone.
Is this yours?
Hey!
You drive me crazy because you remind me of Eun-u.
Don't talk to me.
So...
Because of me, she couldn't see her dad for the last time...
and her brother went missing?
All because of me?
SEUNG-MI
Hey, Seung-mi.
You told me you would call because it's your first payday.
Why didn't you call me?
I forgot.
Let's go to Yeong-seok's bar, then.
I'll pick you up with Mom's car.
Let's do it tomorrow, not today.
Tomorrow?
Okay.
Hey.
I didn't break your phone on purpose.
I'm sorry.
I said I was sorry.
Ma'am.
I'm sorry, but please tell me again.
Have you gone deaf?
Didn't I tell you to prepare
the necessary paperwork to leave my assets to Eun-sung?
Ms. Jang.
Were you serious about it?
Did you take it as a joke?
Does the family...
Do Yeong-ran, Hwan, and Jeong know about this?
I told them already last time.
Ma'am.
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Are you serious?
Did Mother really ask you to look into the paperwork
to leave her assets to Eun-sung?
All right. I will figure out what to do with the kids.
Seriously!
Look at what I have been doing to please her!
For goodness' sake!
I can't stand it anymore!
You shouldn't throw food.
Whatever!
She finally dropped the bomb.
Thanks.
She isn't even eating.
Seung-mi is going to marry Hwan.
But who would be happy to marry a girl of a woman widowed twice,
left with nothing, living in a tiny room?
Wasn't Eun-u supposed to receive piano lessons from a professor?
Go to your room.
SUPREME COURT ONLINE REGISTRY OFFICE
NAME OF PROPERTY BAEKMA APARTMENT
UNIT 503-702
REGISTERED APRIL 7, 2007 BAEKMA APT 503-702
PURCHASER'S NAME YOO SEUNG-MI
My aunt gave it to me in advance because of our situation.
That's how we got this apartment.
As you know,
I can barely afford a room.
I looked for you as soon as we got the money.
Please don't get me wrong.
Are you saying
that she is really going to leave her inheritance to Eun-sung?
I have no idea.
Who knows what she is thinking.
I bet she doesn't know herself either.
How can she do this if she is in her right mind?
It's nonsense.
Since that's the case,
please lend me some money, Seong-hui.
Money?
I won't hold back anymore.
Why do you need money?
How much?
I came in though you weren't here because I have something urgent to say.
Okay. You can go ahead.
Take this money
and get out of my house at once.
Pardon?
I can't put up with this anymore.
Because of you, all our family is going through hell.
What do you mean?
Don't you know?
Grandma is torturing us by saying she will give everything to you.
You can get a two-bedroom apartment.
You can live with your brother once you find him.
I realized that you came to my house because Grandma promised you
to find your little brother.
She will find your brother even if you get out of my house.
She always keeps her promise.
If you don't leave, we will.
I promised--
Leave Grandma up to us.
You just need to leave.
It's been so long since we came here together.
I'm sorry. You know I am not doing well these days.
I didn't mean that. I just haven't seen you often these days.
My pockets are empty, you know.
Why can't you meet me without money?
If you don't have money, are you not going to see me at all?
I just need to survive another month at the longest.
That's what you said last time.
Well...
Grandma is so determined
that a month wasn't enough.
Anyways,
is Jeong all right these days?
Jeong likes Park Jun-se.
What about her?
I heard Jun-se is going out with Eun-sung.
What?
Didn't you know?
Who says that?
Well...
I went to meet a friend at Namu and saw the two.
My friend is a regular there, and she said
Eun-sung is Jun-se's girlfriend.
What are you talking about?
Jeong told me Eun-sung is a friend of Jun-se's friend or something.
What is it that you are hesitating to say?
Grandma.
Please let me get out of the house.
I know...
it has been hard for you.
I'm sorry, Grandma.
You spent a lot of money looking for Eun-u,
but I can't stay until your grandson matures.
Did something happen?
You can't use me anymore, Grandma.
Your family knows
your strategy to use me with the inheritance.
Who says it's a strategy?
Pardon?
Do you think I would use others for my interests?
When you asked me last time,
I never said that I wouldn't give my inheritance to you.
I didn't say that I'm using you to make Hwan grow up, either.
It's all what you said.
What are you talking about?
I will leave everything to you. I mean it.
What?
That doesn't make sense!
In this world,
there are many things that make even less sense.
Still, this doesn't make sense.
Who in the world gives her entire inheritance to a stranger?
Right.
Everyone will say that I'm crazy.
Why are you doing this?
Eun-sung, I think you
will take care of my company
just like I would take care of it.
Me?
Did you forget
what I told you before?
I said I trust you.
You are the person I need.
You have your grandchildren.
You've seen them,
so you know how they are. Why bother to ask?
They are still your grandchildren.
Don't you like money?
I do.
Who doesn't like money?
Then why are you talking back to me when I'm giving you the company?
Still, who am I to take care of the company?
This is nonsense.
It's on one condition.
My family
and the directors of the company...
They will oppose the idea furiously.
You have to prove to them
what you are able to do.
I like my sister, too.
I'm happy.
Eun-u!
Eun-sung.
Do you have any evidence?
Did anyone see me?
Eun-u.
Stay alive.
I will find you for sure.
I will come for you.
Come in.
So? Have you made up your mind?
I want to ask you one thing.
If I were to turn down your offer,
what were you going to do?
Why?
Do you feel like you are stealing from my grandchildren?
Yes.
Even if it weren't you,
I did not plan to leave my inheritance to my family.
It's all or nothing for me.
Then...
I will do it.
I will accept...
the condition.
I look forward to it.
You might regret it.
I will save...
the second branch.
ATTORNEY KIM SO-YEON
Ms. Jang.
Did you say your will?
Yes. Come to my house at seven o'clock with my will.
What's up with her now?
You want me to come home by seven o'clock?
Grandma, what's going on?
Mother.
A guest is coming?
What's on her mind this time
that she asked you to bring the will she wrote last time?
Maybe she is going to distribute her inheritance in advance.
All right. Since everyone is here, let's begin.
Mr. Park, give it to me.
This...
is the will I wrote seven years ago.
"I leave my entire share in the company to Hwan.
I leave my house to my daughter-in-law, Oh Yeong-ran.
I leave my summer house in Yangpyeong and the land in Gangwon-do to Jeong."
There are also other minor things.
That was the general idea.
Did you plan to give your entire share to Hwan?
Of course. He needs to inherit the company.
However,
this...
We don't need this anymore.
Ms. Jang.
Why are you doing this?
This is the will that I wrote again.
Did you write a new one without even telling me?
Yes.
I changed the executor of my will.
You changed your attorney?
In this will...
Like I said before,
it says Jang Suk-ja's entire assets
go to Ko Eun-sung when I die.
It is, however, under one condition, which will be explained
by my new attorney who will be in charge of the execution of my will.
