It's because of Ha Ra, isn't it?

Think whatever you want.

Fine, I'll ask Ha Ra.

Don't ask her!

Fine, I'm the one who ended things.

I dumped Ha Ra, not the other way around. Happy?

And you know...

technically speaking,

I never came here with impure intentions from the beginning.

It just ended up that way.

Oh, you dumped her?

Why?

Why are you so interested in your employees' dating lives?

Hey,

you should get some therapy, at least.

There's a place I go to, so try paying a visit.

And why should I do that?

Hey! Whenever I see you, I-

You don't even know what you really want and

just keep going around, twisting your life.

You can't keep playing around with your life

like that, twisting it around.

You'll only get hurt by whomever you meet.

Eun Beom,

there's no paradise on the run.

You need to keep that in mind, punk.

Why did you guys break up this time?

- S-Sorry? - I heard from Goo.

I heard you two dated again.

Why did you break up this time?

I heard you got dumped again.

What excuse did that bastard use this time?

You should've heard the whole story from him.

Why are you asking me after only listening to half the story?

Must I say everything with my own mouth?

Well, he says he dumped you, but he's acting like it was the other way around.

And you...

seem to be doing better than he is.

Is he even playing the victim now?

Who would be okay?

It's not like it was just a fling.

I'm doing my best to look okay.

But I'm not...

exactly doing well, either.

He says he'll leave our firm.

Why are you two doing this when you like each other?

Why did you break up again this time?

I don't think liking each other alone...

is enough for it to work.

Between him and me.

Our personalities are too different and...

Different and?

He doesn't want kids.

And I do.

Our outlooks in life are different.

Aigoo.

- Hello? - Mom, are you nuts?

You must be very bored.

Why are you putting effort into doing such a meaningless thing?

What? A meaningless thing?

That's my last warning to you.

If you don't listen to me again this time,

I'm going to completely disown you.

- You know Ji Yoon, don't you? - Who?

She's Mrs. Hwang's daughter.

Gong Ji Yoon.

She got divorced this spring.

Her husband screwed up.

Go on a blind date with her and marry her.

She said she's down.

Mrs. Hwang's okay with it, too.

Mom...

is marriage a joke?

Did you tell her and Mrs. Hwang that I don't want to have kids?

Why won't you have any kids?

Stop talking back and

marry her.

Then have just two kids.

I'll do everything you want me to do after.

Instead, if you refuse...

I also don't need a son...

who wants to live as he pleases...

in such an ungrateful manner.

So I'm going to file a suit and

disown you from the family register!

Money spent on raising you...

your college expenses...

all of the money I spent on you!

I'll get all of it back.

I'm not joking, all right?

Go ahead and file the suit.

Go ahead and do whatever you please.

I'm the one who wanted to completely cut ties, to begin with.

I'm also-

I also held back a lot!

Whoa!

Did he go to the restroom?

What's this?

What are you doing with someone else's stuff?

Hey...

what the heck is that?

I don't know.

Didn't you make up with your mother last time?

How the heck did it come down to this?

I don't know, either!

Why she keeps harassing me after giving birth to me.

So what will you do?

What else? I'll have to go with it since she wants a suit.

In my opinion...

it's a luxurious expression of...

something like...

a threat, honestly.

This is luxurious?

I've never seen such a lowly threat in my life.

Gosh...

Should we help him at the office level?

I saw that the other party...

had hired five or six lawyers.

He told you not to care about it, didn't he?

Saying he'll take care of it.

Then just let him be.

Would he want the whole office to know about his family business?

It's Attorney Goo we're talking about.

Even so...

it's because he might pull some weird shit off by himself out of anger.

To keep an eye on him, you know?

Why are you so caring about Attorney Goo, though?

People would think he's your son.

Not an employee.

I feel like I'm looking at myself.

When I broke up with Mi Ok...

So, because you feel his pain as yours,

you want to hold his hand?

I do want to.

Just like how you held my hands, CEO Hong.

In my case...

you helped me first when I was bumming around after getting a divorce

since my career was on a break, CEO Seo.

However...

don't you think I'm paying back that debt for too long?

Huh?

What do you think?

I hope Goo Eun Beom, that punk, will understand my feelings.

Aigoo, why do I even bother arguing?

Yes, Mom.

Oh, you're already there?

I'm almost there. Very close.

Yes. Yes, see you later. Okay.

Oh, hello. I'm here for a reservation under Im Sook Jeong.

Oh, come this way, please.

This is the table.

- Wait, excuse- - Hello.

My name is Joo Sung Yoon.

O-Oh, I think he brought me to the wrong table.

N-No, he didn't.

This is the right table, Ha Ra.

Well, yes.

It's a blind date our mothers

scheduled behind our backs.

I also didn't know and

found out after coming here.

Wait...

Oh, my.

You already parted ways with him?

Mom, what are you trying to do? It's so tacky.

Do you know how flustered I was?

Gosh...

it's because you wouldn't go unless I do that.

I told you I'm seeing someone right now!

- Why on Earth- - But that's Eun Beom.

I don't like him.

I absolutely don't want Eun Beom!

I called him over...

to tell him I don't like him and to break up with you.

Didn't he tell you about it?

What?

You called him over?

I heard from my church's deacon that you two seem to be dating again.

What can I do?

I knew you'd never tell me the truth, so...

I called him over and confirmed it.

He said I was right.

In the meantime, your mother is telling you to break up with me.

When?

When was it?

It was last week or the week before that.

Mom, how could you-

You should've called me over and talked to me.

Why would you call him and-

For not letting me get held up by a nutcase like you...

I'm really way too thankful.

I didn't even know that and...

What did you say to him, exactly?

What could I possibly say?

I just told him to break up with you.

I didn't even beat around the bush.

I was watching him sitting in front of me...

and it made me so furious, so-
