I hope we don't see each other...

like this again.

I have a question.

Is it possible

he's my son?

Is Gyeol

my son?

No. My Gyeol is my son.

He has nothing to do with you, Kim Mu Jin.

Gyeol said

he's eight years old.

We broke up eight years ago.

Were you cheating on me when we were together?

I started dating Heung Sik right after we broke up.

That's a lie.

The Han Gyu Rim I know

isn't evil enough to cheat,

nor is she shameless enough to start dating someone else

right after we broke up.

You think you know me so well?

If you know me so well,

how did you end up getting betrayed?

After everything that happened eight years ago,

you still haven't learned your lesson?

You're still living this pathetic life

because you're so foolish.

I thought you were smart, but you're completely clueless.

You should be getting angry and cursing me out.

Tell me that your life was ruined by meeting me,

and that you'll kill me if you ever see me again.

Get angry and yell at me.

Stop wasting your time going after someone else's son.

Can I get a paternity test for Gyeol?

Are you not listening to me?

A paternity test.

I'm asking if I can get one.

Don't you think this is a bit much?

What's so much about it?

For my mom, this is actually pretty modest.

Getting high-end designer crocodile bags for all the aunts

doesn't seem very modest, does it?

Do you want to change it?

Then how about you buy the apartment, Gyu Young?

No.

I just didn't realise there would be 25 aunts.

Your family must be really close.

Yes, pretty much.

Mom.

Ms. Han Gyu Rim.

Gyeol.

Are you making hamburgers?

Yes.

What did you talk about with that man?

He just said he was sorry,

for calling you over without telling me.

See? He apologised. I told you so.

I told you he's a really nice guy.

Don't you ever see that man again.

Why?

Just don't see him because I said so.

But why?

Han Gyeol, why won't you listen to me today?

I don't like that man.

So I don't like you meeting him either.

Why do you hate him so much?

I don't know. I just do.

- Okay? - No. I don't get it at all.

Promise me

that you won't see that man again.

Han Gyeol, are you really not going to promise me?

Give me a reason I can accept, then I won't see him anymore.

And to be honest,

store-bought hamburgers are way tastier than yours.

Who does he get that stubbornness from?

The nerve of that little squirt.

Who's there?

What are you doing sitting in the dark?

I thought you were a ghost.

When you left earlier, you were like a guy going on his first date,

all thrilled with the world.

What did you say to the kid?

Did you say, "I am your father"?

Right. No matter how much you're losing it,

you wouldn't ask a kid something like that.

I asked Gyu Rim.

She said he's not my son.

So then what? Is he that monkey-faced guy's son?

Was she cheating on you?

Gyu Rim says no.

But I don't believe her.

Right. I think she's lying too.

No. I can't lose my head over this too.

It's just...

We even have the same taste in hamburgers.

No pickled onions, add a fried egg.

No pickled onions, add a fried egg.

That's how I like them too. Does that make me your son?

You're right.

What is wrong with me?

When someone says no, I should just accept it,

and know when to give up.

Why am I still hung up on a married woman?

Am I crazy or what?

Of course you are. You're definitely crazy.

Seo Hyun, Yoon Jin,

and none of them think you're sane right now.

If you get any crazier, I'll have you committed myself.

Get up. Hurry up and get up.

What do you think you're doing sleeping here?

What's all that noise?

I went to bed in the early morning. Don't wake me up. It's Sunday.

You can sleep at your own house. Please get out of my house now.

What is this nonsense so early in the morning?

- I'm asking you to get out now. - Han Gyu Rim.

Do I know you?

What's this new act?

What?

I've already packed your things, so just get up and leave.

- The exit is this way. - Are you crazy?

You're the crazy one,

sleeping in late in someone else's house.

- Want to get lost, or get beat up? - Darn...

Are you doing this because of the family meeting yesterday?

Because I didn't let Dad and you come?

Are you being this childish because you're sulking?

Who do you think you are to call him Dad?

You have your own dad.

"Dad."

You were practically oozing with affection.

What are you talking about?

You saw it?

Get out. Now. I've never had a sister like you,

and Father has never had a daughter like you. Get out.

You were at the family meeting? What exactly did you see?

No matter how much you're ashamed of us,

how could you hire an actor for your wedding events?

Did you go through all that trouble in medical school,

- study abroad to be a con artist? - Darn it.

Before I go and tell your boyfriend's family everything,

you'd better tell them the truth and ask for forgiveness.

If you're that ashamed of our family,

then for the rest of our lives, we'll stay out of your life.

So you might as well say you've cut ties with us.

What do you mean by that?

I went to the family meeting even though you told me not to go.

You did the right thing.

Wait.

That's it?

I can only imagine how much you agonized before you went.

I knew you didn't want to go,

but you must have felt you had no choice,

and that must have been hard for you.

Do you need me to say more?

Well...

It was Gyu Young's family meeting.

The girl's name was Gyu Young...

Who did you say?

That's right.

It's not someone else with the same name.

And you weren't confused or mistaken.

It's the one you thought of as soon as you heard the name.

Your daughter, Han Gyu Young.

You went to her family meeting?

Why would you do that?

What about her father?

Where was her father that you had to go instead?

Well, I'm not sure,

but it seemed like there were some circumstances.

Did Gyu Young ask you to?

What on earth was she thinking...

How did you and Gyu Young meet?

To be honest,

she came to see me

after she found out that we got married

nine years ago.

Oh my goodness.

Why didn't you tell me back then?

Because Gyu Young asked me never to tell you.

And then, she called me recently for the first time in a long while.

I never meant to deceive you.

I was just waiting for the right time

to tell you everything.

Anyway, after going to the family meeting,

I knew I couldn't put this off any longer,

so I'm telling you now.

Honey,

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

Honey.

Honey.

Why are you the one apologising?

I'm the one who should be sorry.

You're just making me feel worse.

For putting you in such a difficult position,

I'm so sorry.

No, why would you say that? Honey,

your children are my children.

That's why I went to the family meeting.
