Mom?
That's absurd. Don't be ridiculous.
Hold on. What day is it today?
Is it April Fool's Day?
It's not.
Mom, this sort of joke isn't even on the funny side.
You startled me, you know.
It's not a joke, Chae Woon.
This must be because I'm fond of Ms. Kim.
I was grinning like a fool when she came by...
which made you jealous.
Gosh, come here.
My mom, the big baby.
As if Ms. Kim could ever compare to you.
You're being adorable.
Mom...
I see the news shocked you.
Is this really a photo of you?
Yes.
Then...
is Bit Chae Woon really Mom's daughter?
Did you...
lose your child then?
How?
This isn't a joke.
It's the truth.
Then...
Are you saying...
we didn't meet at the orphanage?
Someone left me there,
and you and Dad took me home.
My gosh.
Oh, dear.
Why now?
Why are you telling me this now?
Before I applied for a job at LX...
or...
Or even before that.
Way before I even knew of Ms. Kim,
you could've sought her out.
It would've been easy in this day and age.
Okay, fine.
Let's say that life got in the way of things.
We barely managed financially as is.
But you said you reunited with Ms. Kim...
at the Yeonhui-dong lady's residence.
Why...
Why didn't you at least tell me back then?
You knew I had been searching for my birth parents.
Weren't you the one who was nice...
to those people who claimed to be my birth parents?
Why?
Just why?
I...
I was too afraid, Chae Woon.
Losing you terrified me.
Mom!
I couldn't...
give up...
being your mother.
It terrified me.
I...
I'm sorry, Mom.
I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.
- I'm sorry. - No...
Don't say that.
I'm the one who should apologize.
But...
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
What about...
Ms. Kim?
Has she no idea that you've been raising me?
How can that be?
Didn't she look for her daughter after losing her?
Why not?
Then...
she must've abandoned me, right?
Why?
That's not true.
Why...
did she give me up? Why?
Chae Woon,
that's not true. It just isn't.
She didn't abandon you in any way.
Ms. Kim isn't that sort of person.
However, you...
My gosh.
How did I end up losing her?
It's all my fault.
I only have myself to blame.
You must've searched for her.
I know what you're like.
You must've searched...
under every rock.
I didn't because she can never be found.
Because...
she's no longer in this world.
My gosh.
She...
believes that you no longer exist.
If she didn't abandon me, then what else?
What else could be her reason?
Chae Woon, that's not the case at all.
No, I'm sure she gave me up.
I guess getting pregnant with me was an accident.
She abandoned me because she couldn't raise me.
Why else...
wouldn't you have told me after reuniting with her recently?
You knew how desperately...
I've been searching for my birth parents.
No, Chae Woon. That is hardly the case.
Let me go.
Where are you going?
To Ms. Kim's.
I'd like to ask why she gave me up.
After abandoning me,
she's been sponsoring orphanages and helping those in need.
I'd like to know why she's acting like some saint.
Let's go.
Chae Woon, no.
Don't go.
Please calm down for a second.
Tomorrow or maybe the day after that,
we'll go to see her together.
I can't!
- Chae Woon. - I can't wait!
Chae Woon!
Holding it in...
will only make my heart explode.
I can't possibly wait with grace.
We'll hear what she has to say...
and submit a DNA test.
You must've pictured this happening when you decided...
to throw this bomb at me.
Come on.
- Let's go! - Chae Woon.
- We're going! - Chae Woon, I'm sorry.
Let's buy one and share.
- We'll only end up buying another. - Chae Woon!
Chae Woon.
- What's going on? - Chae Woon?
What is it, Bit Chae Woon?
Chae Woon, wait.
Chae Woon.
You'll catch a cold. At least put on a jacket.
What is it? What's going on?
Chae Woon, are you going somewhere?
Hae Deun, get Mom a jacket to wear.
What?
Get her jacket.
Right, of course.
Are you off to settle a score?
Then take me with you.
Man Jeong, that's not the case. We have someplace to be.
Where exactly? Tell me.
Hae Deun, what's going on?
I'm just as clueless.
But...
- Sun Jeong! - Ms. Lee, let me drive you.
I...
- Ms. Lee. - Ms. Lee?
Chae Woon.
I'll drive you there, Chae Woon.
Wait, Chae Woon...
Where are Sun Jeong and Chae Woon going?
I don't know. They wouldn't tell us. They would need me anyway.
I know.
What's happening?
What is it?
The receiver cannot be reached.
Headbutt, why aren't you answering my call?
"Headbutt"?
I was going to eat some ramyeon in peace.
What on earth is happening?
- Where are they going together? - The receiver cannot be reached.
You will be directed to voicemail.
Mom is not answering the phone either.
Mom left her phone at home.
- Really? - Yes.
I think I know what's happening.
- What is it? - This is about creditors.
I'm sure the creditors came again.
You know Sun Jeong fell for some bad people...
and ended up deep in debt before. So she had a hard time.
My gosh.
Did Ms. Lee go through something like that?
Why would you blab about her personal stories like that?
You better keep your mouth shut.
Uncle Hwak Se, she said we are free from debt now.
Mom and Chae Woon paid it off.
Right. Chae Woon had to work really hard for that.
I know Bit Chae Woon went through a lot.
Creditors are really scary.
Wait, James. What's the matter?
Do you remember anything?
No. Not really.
My goodness.
That's post-traumatic stress disorder.
Chae Woon.
