Queen's Flower (Flower of the Queen / 여왕의 꽃 / Yeowangui Kkot)

If you confirm the existence of Lena's child,

...you'll be given a handsome reward as promised.

What's this noise? Oh my goodness!

You broke expensive teacups.

I bought them when I went on a trip to London.

You are so. Lena is more important than cups.

Aren't you hurt?

No. I'm sorry, Grandmother.

What's the fuss about?

She was brining tea to you...

...and broke the cup with a jolt.

No. My hand just slipped.

I'll make tea again.

Wait.

Since when were you here?

Excuse me? What do you mean?

How could your hand slip all of a sudden?

Weren't you eavesdropping outside the door?

Were you?

Why?

Did you say anything I mustn't hear?

Otherwise, why do you care when I didn't listen in?

Yeah, you are right.

Okay. I'll let you go.

They were expensive.

Tell me.

My real mother is still alive, isn't she?

How is she doing?

Excuse me.

Hello?

This is Lena.

What is it?

Answer me honestly.

Have you told anybody about our child?

What?

Answer! Have you?

Are you crazy? Why would I...!

No.

That's nothing to be proud of.

Let me ask one more.

The baby that I gave a birth.

Did she really die a baby?

Did you really scatter her ashes on the river?

I told you.

I wouldn't joke about it.

Why do you ask all of a sudden?

Fine if it's true.

Take it to the grave.

You took the word right out of my mouth.

Keep quiet about it forever.

Hang up.

Who on earth can bring the child?

Did you just ask me about your real mother?

Why do you want to know?

Because she gave me birth.

Listen carefully.

Just giving birth makes you a parent?

I don't deserve to say this...

...but she didn't give a damn about her baby from the first.

You were a means to catch me and when she failed to do it,

...she sold you to me at $10,000.

You can expect nothing from her.

Don't try to know who she is.

Why, you can't believe me?

Still, isn't she alive somewhere?

If my guess is right,

...with her comely features,

...she must've hooked a rich guy and lives well-off,

...after erasing the truth about your birth.

Think as if your real parents didn't exist.

Regard your foster parents as the real parents.

I see.

Goodbye.

Wait.

Well, I want to give you more...

...but this is all I have now.

Take it as the last allowance from me.

Take it.

And please, let's not see each other ever again.

I am really sorry.

No, don't be sorry.

I was an unwanted baby.

I appreciate you for abandoning me.

Or I wouldn't have grown up in love.

I hope you stay healthy.

So why did she have to give birth to her?

When I'm going through this,

...she lives high on the hog.

Gosh, blame Eunhye Jeong.

Esol.

What are you doing?

You bought paprika?

Next time when you buy paprika, buy unripe one.

That's more fresh.

- Really? - Yes.

I wish this helps me lose weight.

As I grow old, I get fat if I just drink water.

That's not true.

You have snacks between water.

Shut up!

Wait, you appear to have lost weight.

What's the secret?

Secret? This.

It gives me a feeling of fullness so I cut out snacks.

Age sure makes men feminine.

We have same interests and speak the same language.

I know.

Anyways, I will lose my weight to size 6.

Then I can wear Lena's clothes, right?

Let's eat this on that. Let's be healthy.

- Grandmother. - Yes?

Where is Mother?

Heera? She just went out.

Didn't she tell you where she's going?

Maybe it's a secret. She rolled out in her car.

Oh, ma'am!

Here!

Three plus three?

Did you solve a lot?

Yes. Math is easy.

A piece of cake.

Really?

You little.

Perfect, huh?

Why? He solved all the questions already?

Take a look.

One plus one is a cutie.

Two plus two is a cutie.

Three plus three is a cutie.

What are all these?

You don't know?

One plus one is a cutie.

Two plus two is a cutie.

Three plus three is a cutie.

Come here. I can't let it pass.

Dad. Dad.

Dad, look at that.

Look at what? Don't you wish you can escape!

It's not that. Esol is on TV.

There!

What? Esol?

She looks good on TV.

Plump and pretty.

Plump? She's become thin from inner struggle.

I want to pay the bill.

Yes, coming!

What's that?

The picture of Lena Jeong in her young days...

Wait.

Where have I seen her before?

Yangsoon! Yangsoon!

Come here quickly and look at this.

What?

Isn't that picture familiar?

What picture?

It passed.

She looked really familiar.

Right! It is her!

What are you saying?

The woman in the picture of Esol's birth parents...

...looks exactly same as young Lena Jeong.

What are you talking about?

I mean,

...if I am right, Lena Jeong is Esol's birth mother.

What?

Are you okay now?

I'm sorry for taking up your time.

But if I go home like this, I might cry before my mom.

If I cry, she'll cry too and...

How about going to the sea this weekend?

Let's cast all our distress to the sea.

I thought I was very strong.

I could snap out of bad moods easily,

...but it's not easy this time.

I pretend to be strong and cool, but tears keep coming.

Esol.

Maybe I shouldn't have been born.

No one wanted my birth.

Was it when I was 17?

My dad went out of business and he was struggling.

When I asked him for a retreat fee, he called me unlucky...

...and yelled that I was to blame for his misfortune.

At that time, I thought it was because he was in trouble.

But now I know why.

I was a girl born under an unlucky star,

...better not be born,

...only a burden to everybody.

And still I am.

Frankly,

...I don't know how to live,

...how to be less burdensome to other people.

Can I tell you?

Everyman meets someone to changes his life in a lifetime.

You are the one to me.

Jaejoon.

Who cares if no one wanted you...

...when I want you so much?

Our parents live their own lives and so do we.

Whoever your parents are, your life is yours.

So don't be hurt anymore.
