00:00:00The drama begins with a beautiful woman named Kim, the female lead of our story.

00:00:04Three years ago, Kim was a carefree single woman who had just graduated from university.

00:00:08But after graduation, reality hit hard. She couldn't find a stable job. With no other option,

00:00:14she temporarily worked as a food delivery driver, riding through the city every single day just to

00:00:18support herself. After work, her greatest happiness was going to the supermarket with her older sister,

00:00:23searching for discounted groceries. The two sisters depended entirely on each other. Her

00:00:27sister would cook warm, delicious meals and protect Kim like a precious umbrella whenever

00:00:32life felt overwhelming. One night, Kim accidentally saw a diamond ring inside her sister's bag.

00:00:38That was when she realized her future brother-in-law had already proposed. Instead of feeling relieved,

00:00:43Kim felt worried. She knew her sister had kept it a secret because she was afraid of leaving her

00:00:47alone. For her sister's happiness, Kim chose to step forward. She personally met her future brother-in-law,

00:00:53promising to marry her sister off properly as family. She even volunteered to organize the

00:00:58formal meeting between both families. After the marriage was confirmed, Kim accompanied her sister

00:01:03during the wedding photo shoot, carefully helping her with everything. One day, Kim noticed her sister

00:01:07flipping through a home decor magazine, admiring a particular lamp. Normally, the two of them would

00:01:12only replace things when they were completely worn out. This was the first time her sister had openly

00:01:17praised something so beautiful. Kim decided she wanted to buy that lamp as a wedding gift.

00:01:22Unfortunately, it was expensive and her savings were not enough. Desperate, she borrowed her best

00:01:27friend's account on a second-hand trading website. After logging in, she was relieved to find someone

00:01:31selling the same lamp at a much lower price. She immediately contacted the seller and arranged to

00:01:36meet that evening. At the agreed location, she met a young man named Taehyung. From the moment they met,

00:01:41Kim began bargaining aggressively. Taehyung refused to lower the price and urged her to make a decision.

00:01:47Unsatisfied, Kim insisted on opening the packaging for inspection and even asked Taehyung to take

00:01:52photos of her with the lamp. Already irritated, Taehyung reluctantly agreed. Finally, he asked,

00:01:57Are you buying it or not? Kim clutched the lamp tightly, afraid he would take it back. During their

00:02:01argument, they nearly fell to the ground. Taehyung reached out to steady her while also trying to

00:02:06protect the lamp. Despite his effort, the bulb inside broke from the impact. Furious, Taehyung refused to

00:02:11continue the sale. Kim also became angry. She would never give her sister a broken wedding gift.

00:02:16They parted on bad terms. Not long after, Taehyung realized he had mistakenly taken Kim's phone.

00:02:21The phone was dead, so he took it home to charge it before arranging to return it. When it powered

00:02:25on, he was shocked to see his older brother on the phone's wallpaper, Kim's future brother-in-law.

00:02:30The next day, Kim organized the formal meeting between the two families. For her sister's sake,

00:02:35she ordered expensive dishes for the first time in her life. Halfway through the meal,

00:02:39Taehyung suddenly appeared. Only then did Kim discover that her brother-in-law was Taehyung's older brother.

00:02:44However, the relationship between the two brothers was clearly strained. The atmosphere at the table

00:02:49became tense and awkward. Later, Kim spoke privately with Taehyung. He revealed that years ago,

00:02:54his brother had abandoned him at an orphanage. He warned her not to trust someone capable of

00:02:58abandoning his own family. His brother chased after him, wanting to talk, but Taehyung felt nothing but

00:03:04despair. Years ago, he had been heartlessly left behind. Now, his brother was building a new,

00:03:09happy family as if the past had never happened.

00:03:11I will never give you another chance to abandon me, Taehyung declared firmly. From now on,

00:03:15I have no brother. He then took out a camera he had carefully treasured. It was a gift from his

00:03:19brother before he abandoned him. Because of that camera, Taehyung had grown up to become a photographer.

00:03:24But now, remembering the pain of that betrayal, he decided to let go. He threw away the camera and

00:03:29every photo they had taken together. Soon after, his brother married Kim's sister. Taehyung did not

00:03:34attend the wedding. Kim felt a quiet sadness, realizing that some people were simply not destined to remain

00:03:39family. Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Kim became a contract worker at a food company,

00:03:45while Taehyung gave up photography and became an office employee. With company benefits, he took out

00:03:50a loan to buy a small house. His friends felt it was a pity that he had abandoned photography,

00:03:54knowing how talented he was. Taehyung only smiled bitterly. There was no longer anyone he wanted to

00:03:59share his photos with. Without meaning, even the best photography felt worthless. Meanwhile, Kim faced her

00:04:05own struggles. Despite working hard, she once again failed to secure a permanent position. She didn't

00:04:09know how to explain this to her sister. As always, her sister prepared a home-cooked meal and cared for

00:04:14her lovingly. To avoid worrying her, Kim lied and said she had already been hired permanently. But when

00:04:20she turned around, she saw that her sister had prepared a room for her and bought professional

00:04:24books, hoping she would come home and start again. Her sister promised to support her in every possible

00:04:28way. Although Kim knew her sister meant well, her pride would not allow her to accept help.

00:04:32After saying words she did not truly mean, she stormed out. Worried, her sister called her

00:04:37husband, a police officer. While reassuring her, he received news that his father was about to be

00:04:42released from prison. The message unsettled him deeply. The following day, distracted while driving,

00:04:47he was involved in a tragic car accident. Both Kim's sister and brother-in-law died in that accident,

00:04:52leaving her completely alone. At the funeral, holding her sister's will, Kim broke down in tears.

00:04:57How could her sister have believed her angry words and left her like this?

00:05:01Taehyung was also there. Although he had once spoken harshly, he had never truly let go of his

00:05:06brother in his heart. As they mourned, a small boy, less than two years old, stumbled out. The child,

00:05:11Wooju, was their son. He was Kim's nephew and Taehyung's nephew. Too young to understand death,

00:05:16he cried endlessly. Kim tried to comfort him, but suddenly Wooju stopped crying and walked toward

00:05:21Taehyung. Just as mourners nearly collided with the child, Taehyung rushed forward and grabbed him

00:05:26tightly. In the chaos, Kim stepped forward and was accidentally injured, spraining her wrist and

00:05:30being taken to the hospital. After that day, Taehyung found himself constantly surrounded by Wooju. As long

00:05:36as he gave him candy, the little boy would immediately stop crying and burst into laughter.

00:05:40But he also exhausted him, urinating on him, forcing him to wash tiny clothes and clinging to

00:05:45him constantly. At one point, Taehyung even placed Wooju inside a bucket and pulled him along just to keep

00:05:50him entertained. Later, Kim arrived and sincerely thanked Taehyung for his help. It was her first

00:05:55time handling a funeral. Without him, she would have been completely overwhelmed. After the funeral,

00:06:00a lawyer met with both of them and asked who would take responsibility for raising Wooju.

00:06:03Taehyung immediately refused, emphasizing that he wanted no further involvement with his brother's

00:06:08family. However, Kim firmly declared that she would raise her nephew herself. Before leaving,

00:06:13Taehyung gave Wooju one final piece of candy. Neither of them realized that fate was quietly weaving

00:06:18something unexpected between them. Episode one ends here. Episode two begins. After her sister's

00:06:23passing, Kim took on the responsibility of raising her nephew and moved into her sister's home with

00:06:27little Wooju. Standing inside the room her sister had deliberately kept for her, seeing the employment

00:06:32books carefully prepared in advance, Kim was overwhelmed with grief. She blamed herself for the harsh words

00:06:37she had once said. At that very moment, she received a delayed interview notification from the company.

00:06:42The message made her even more heartbroken. If it had arrived just a few days earlier,

00:06:46she would not have argued with her sister, and she would not have sent off her most beloved

00:06:50family member with regret in her heart. The next day, Kim officially began her new life as Wooju's

00:06:55guardian. However, raising a child was far more difficult than she had imagined. After struggling

00:07:00to prepare a proper meal for him, the little boy vomited everything out. The living room was soon

00:07:04covered with scattered toys. Thankfully, her best friend stayed by her side. Because Kim had injured

00:07:10her arm at the funeral, her friend even helped wash her hair. For the first time in days,

00:07:14Kim felt as if she could breathe again. Her friend promised that on the day of Kim's interview,

00:07:19she would skip work and come help take care of Wooju. Wooju was extremely mischievous.

00:07:24Her friend casually asked about Taehyung, her in-law. Kim shook her head.

00:07:28Forget that irresponsible man, she said. He's probably out there enjoying his life.

00:07:32But Taehyung's life was far from easy. After his brother's death, he brought a bottle of soju to a

00:07:37friend's place and talked late into the night. He mentioned the final phone call his brother had made

00:07:41before the accident. It was a call to him. Taehyung had not answered. Instead, his brother left a

00:07:46message saying he had something important to say. Taehyung had been troubled by it ever since,

00:07:51wondering what his brother had wanted to tell him. Recently, Taehyung had been busy renovating his new

00:07:56house, purchasing furniture online, preparing for a fresh start. Yet, whenever he saw the jar of candy

00:08:02at home, he would remember Wooju smiling through tears because of a single piece of candy.

00:08:07On the day of Kim's interview, her best friend suddenly had an emergency and could not come.

00:08:11With only two hours left before the interview, Kim carried Wooju around the building,

00:08:15knocking on neighbors' doors, calling colleagues and friends, begging anyone to help.

00:08:19But everyone had their own responsibilities. No one was willing to watch the child.

00:08:23With no other option, Kim thought of Taehyung. To trick him into coming, she sent a message saying

00:08:28she was planning to abandon Wooju. As expected, Taehyung rushed over. When he arrived,

00:08:33he realized he had been deceived. Kim continued persuading him, praising his

00:08:36sense of responsibility and insisting that Wooju liked him very much. As she spoke,

00:08:41she crouched down and pretended to cry pitifully. Taehyung acted cold and turned to leave,

00:08:46reminding her that he had already severed ties with his brother. But Kim refused to give up her last

00:08:50hope. She stepped closer, hinting that they had once been honest with each other. Startled,

00:08:55Taehyung quickly covered himself, confused about when such a thing had ever happened. Kim then

00:09:00reminded him of the lamp incident three years ago, how they had opened the packaging together.

00:09:04While he sighed in relief, Kim seized the moment and slipped away, leaving him no choice but to

00:09:08stay behind with Wooju. After Kim left, Taehyung looked around the house he had never visited before.

00:09:14Seeing the family photo of his brother's family in the bedroom, sadness rose within him once more.

00:09:19A colleague called, asking him to send over some documents. He placed Wooju on a chair and told him to

00:09:23sit quietly. The child nodded innocently. To keep him occupied, Taehyung checked the refrigerator.

00:09:28It was filled with adult beverages. Without hesitation, he ordered hamburgers and fries,

00:09:33thinking it would be a modern educational experience. Wooju loved the fries. While happily

00:09:39eating, he even started calling Taehyung, dad. Taking advantage of the quiet moment,

00:09:43Taehyung hurried to finish his work. Meanwhile, during her interview at the food company, Kim spoke

00:09:47about her sister. To her, food was the key that unlocked memories. Whenever she felt sad in the past,

00:09:53her sister would make kimchi pancakes in different flavors. Those familiar tastes carried the memories of

00:09:58their shared life and became her most precious treasure. Back at home, Taehyung finally finished

00:10:03working, only to discover that Wooju had poured an entire bottle of milk onto the floor and evenly

00:10:08spread ketchup across the bedsheets. Taehyung felt like crying. As if that wasn't enough,

00:10:12Wooju soiled himself again. Exhausted, Taehyung carried him outside for fresh air. While texting Kim,

00:10:18Wooju insisted on grabbing his phone. In the struggle, the phone fell to the ground and was perfectly

00:10:22crushed by a passing car. After finishing her interview, Kim walked downstairs and noticed

00:10:26a crowd gathering around a display area. Curious, she squeezed into the crowd, only to find Wooju at

00:10:32the center of the chaos. The entire display section had been nearly destroyed because of him,

00:10:36and the person responsible for bringing him there was none other than Taehyung. Task completed,

00:10:41Taehyung handed Wooju back to Kim. Seeing the child covered in dirt, Kim was speechless. In just a few

00:10:46hours, what exactly had Taehyung done?

00:11:09That night, after bathing Wooju, Kim finally felt the exhausting day come to an end. Taehyung lay in bed as

00:11:14well. For the first time without a noisy child beside him, he realized how quiet life could be.

00:11:19The next day, however, the renovation workers informed him that the water,

00:11:22pipes in his new house had burst. The project would be delayed for at least a month. Unfortunately,

00:11:27his large furniture delivery had already arrived. With nowhere to place it, not even at a friend's

00:11:31house, Taehyung came up with what he considered the perfect solution. The following morning, a moving

00:11:36truck arrived at Kim's apartment complex. To her shock, the furniture was being delivered to her home,

00:11:41and along with it came Taehyung himself. Without asking for permission, he confidently moved his

00:11:46belongings into the house. From that day on, he announced he would live there. Kim protested that

00:11:51it was inappropriate for a single man and woman to live under the same roof. Taehyung repeated her

00:11:55own words from before. They had once been honest with each other. If she refused to let him stay,

00:12:00she would have to compensate him for emotional damages. He even showed her photos he had taken as

00:12:05evidence of the mental suffering Wooju had caused him. Besides, in his eyes, Kim was only Wooju's aunt,

00:12:10nothing more. Faced with his endless excuses, Kim had no choice but to compromise. Soon, however,

00:12:15she noticed that Taehyung was surprisingly good at domestic life. He kept the house spotless and

00:12:19organized. He prepared breakfast and coffee with care. He was unexpectedly refined and home-oriented.

00:12:25Taehyung decided to stay at least one month. After all, he needed to recover rent money and furniture

00:12:29storage costs. On the same day, Kim received good news. She had been successfully hired by the company.

00:12:34Happy yet mindful of childcare expenses, she accepted her friend's suggestion and agreed to let Taehyung

00:12:40stay officially. That night, the two signed an agreement. Taehyung would stay for one month.

00:12:44All living expenses would be shared equally. While Kim was at work, Taehyung would take full

00:12:48responsibility for caring for Wooju without negligence. With their signatures on the contract,

00:12:53the cohabitation life between the two in-laws officially began. Episode 2 ends here. Episode 3 begins.

00:12:59After signing the agreement, Kim and her in-law Taehyung officially began their cohabitation. Originally,

00:13:05they had decided to mind their own business and simply fulfill the contract. However, fate had other

00:13:10plans waiting for them. In order to solve their respective life problems, Kim and Taehyung agreed that

00:13:15he would stay at her house for one month. During her working hours, he would take full responsibility

00:13:20for taking care of little Wooju. Still, Kim did not fully trust him. Before leaving for work,

00:13:26she wrote countless childcare instructions on sticky notes and covered the refrigerator with them.

00:13:31She also handed Taehyung several daily childcare checklists, demanding that he report Wooju's

00:13:36progress regularly. For the next 24 hours, Taehyung was told that everything must revolve around the

00:13:41baby. Because Taehyung was helping, Kim finally felt reassured enough to return to work. As instructed,

00:13:47Taehyung sent updates every few hours claiming he was stimulating the baby's creativity, teaching

00:13:53independent eating, and promoting muscle development. In reality, he was only half serious. At home,

00:13:58he secretly fed Wooju snacks while playing mobile games, and even forbade the child from entering

00:14:03his room. After a long day of chasing Wooju around, Taehyung let the baby sit alone in the living room

00:14:09watching cartoons while he went to take a hot shower. Unexpectedly, halfway through washing his hair,

00:14:14the water heater stopped working. Cold water poured down on him. With shampoo still in his hair,

00:14:18Taehyung stepped out of the bathroom, only to run straight into Kim who had just returned from work.

00:14:23Upon learning that the water heater had broken, Kim urgently contacted a repair service.

00:14:28The estimate was one million one. Given their financial situation, neither of them could afford

00:14:33such a large expense. Kim grew anxious. Now not only she and Taehyung, but Wooju too faced the problem

00:14:39of bathing without hot water. Taehyung, however, quickly handed the problem back to her. After work,

00:14:44he acted as if his shift was over. Kim rummaged through the cupboards, found a metal bucket,

00:14:49boiled water in a kettle, and mixed it in the bathtub. Together, they struggled to bathe Wooju. By the time

00:14:55they finished, it was nearly midnight. Just after finally getting cleaned, Wooju splashed himself wet

00:15:00again. The next day, Taehyung messaged Kim at work, teasing her to hide her greasy hair so no one would

00:15:05discover she had not washed properly. Kim quickly fixed her appearance in the restroom, pinned on her

00:15:11official employee badge, and began her new professional life. But on her very first day,

00:15:16a senior colleague jokingly called her lobby girl. She soon learned why. On the day of her interview,

00:15:21Taehyung had shown up at the company lobby holding Wooju and casually called her darling. Employees had

00:15:27misunderstood and assumed they were a deeply affectionate couple. Their relationship had

00:15:32already become gossip on the company forum. Seeing posts praising Taehyung's dimples left Kim

00:15:38speechless and exhausted. When she met her team leader, Yoon Sung, she was stunned. He was her senior from

00:15:44university, the man she had once liked. Seven years ago, Yoon Sung had held her hand and confessed his

00:15:50feelings. But back then, Kim had been preparing to study abroad, and they parted ways without

00:15:54ever officially dating. Now, standing face to face again, Kim could not help stealing glances at him. Yet

00:16:00whenever their eyes met, she quickly looked away. Meanwhile at home, Taehyung attempted to fix the water

00:16:06heater himself. Having no knowledge of appliances, he asked the neighbor for help. The neighbor

00:16:10confidently claimed to be an expert. However, after hours of boasting, the heater remained broken. Instead, the

00:16:16neighbor grew curious about Taehyung and Kim's relationship. Unable to explain properly, Taehyung

00:16:21awkwardly described it as raising a baby together and calling each other darling. When Kim returned

00:16:27home, she found the heater in even worse condition than before. Taehyung hid his guilt and did not admit

00:16:32that he had invited the neighbor. Kim decided to contact the landlord, but Taehyung grabbed the phone

00:16:37and sent a dramatic message instead, even considering referring to Kim as the child's mother to emphasize the

00:16:43urgency. Kim quickly snatched the phone back, frustrated that he was no help at all. To make

00:16:48up for his mistake, Taehyung took Wooju to the laundromat to wash clothes. There, Kim confronted him

00:16:53about the lobby girl gossip. She had just started her job, and her life was already in chaos because of

00:16:59him.

00:16:59What bothered her most was her image in front of Yoon Sung. She wanted him to see her at her

00:17:04best.

00:17:05After all, he was her first love, someone she still could not forget. When Kim compared

00:17:10herself to a famous celebrity, Taehyung shivered and teased that she would be better suited as a

00:17:15comedian. Three days passed with the water heater broken. Kim endured cold showers and washed her

00:17:20hair in freezing water, eventually catching a cold. At work, she learned that Yoon Sung would

00:17:26be going on a business trip the next day. Relieved, she decided to skip washing her hair. But the

00:17:31following morning, she arrived to find him sitting comfortably in the office after all. Feeling

00:17:36embarrassed by her messy appearance, Kim wished she could disappear. At home, Taehyung continued

00:17:41washing Wooju's clothes, but he kept thinking about Kim shivering from the cold. Determined to end

00:17:46their miserable cold water days, he remembered a famous photographer. Recently, the photographer's

00:17:51manager had approached Taehyung, inviting him to work as an assistant for one day. Though he had sworn

00:17:56never to return to photography, he asked two close friends to watch Wooju and went to the studio. During the

00:18:02shoot, Taehyung disagreed with the photographer and insisted on his own creative approach. His friends

00:18:08were shocked to learn he had worked for his former idol. Taehyung laughed bitterly. He was only doing

00:18:14it for money. In reality, his photography dream seemed like a fleeting illusion. Yet deep inside, he had never

00:18:20truly let it go. Back at home, Wooju found Taehyung's old camera, the gift his brother had given him

00:18:27years ago. Taehyung had once thrown it away, but later retrieved it from the trash. Thanks to the 1 million

00:18:33won he earned that day, Taehyung was finally able to pay for proper repairs. The water heater was fixed

00:18:39at last. Meanwhile, at the company, Kim supported Yoon Seung's proposal during a meeting when other team

00:18:45members criticized it. After work, they rode the elevator together. Noticing her cough, Yoon Seung offered to

00:18:50drive her home. During the ride, they spoke about the past. They had not seen each other in seven years.

00:18:56Kim admitted she had thought he had forgotten her, since he rarely greeted her at work. Yoon Seung asked if

00:19:02that had disappointed her. She could not answer. Though he smiled politely, Yoon Seung was secretly delighted

00:19:07to reunite with her. Seven years ago, he had wanted to date her seriously, but circumstances had separated

00:19:13them. That night, with the hot water finally restored, Kim enjoyed a comfortable shower. Later, she and Taehyung

00:19:19shared a large bottle of grape wine. Both agreed that after one month, they would part ways and avoid further

00:19:24entanglement. But the next morning, they woke up in shock, lying in the same bed.

00:19:30Remembering what might have happened the night before, both of them stared at each other in disbelief.

00:19:35Episode 3 ends here. Episode 4 begins with Kim and Taehyung waking up in the same bed,

00:19:40both frozen in shock as fragments of the previous night slowly return to them.

00:19:45The living room table is covered with empty wine bottles. Only then do they realize they drank far

00:19:50more than one bottle. After an intense drinking session, Taehyung had bragged about his photography

00:19:55skills, while Kim tearfully confessed how much she missed her sister. In their drunken haze, they

00:20:00ended up lying side by side, shirts half removed, holding onto each other for comfort. Remembering their

00:20:05reckless behavior, they immediately make a pact. They will never drink again. Yet from that moment on,

00:20:11their relationship becomes strangely awkward. It is as if they have suddenly realized that beneath their

00:20:16daily bickering, they are simply a lonely man and woman sharing the same roof. When Kim tells her

00:20:22best friend what almost happened, her friend becomes thrilled. One night, and alcohol are enough to

00:20:27completely change a relationship, she declares. Then she asks bluntly, do you see Taehyung as a man now?

00:20:33Kim denies it immediately, but the panic on her face gives her away. Taehyung is no different.

00:20:38His friend teases him about living under the same roof as Kim. Using the same shampoo, breathing the same air,

00:20:44how could feelings not grow? Taehyung repeatedly denies it. But when asked if Kim is pretty,

00:20:50he suddenly straightens up. He has never seriously considered that question before. At home, Kim finishes

00:20:55showering and stares into the mirror, reminding herself to stay rational. Later, Taehyung enters the

00:21:01bathroom to shower. Suddenly, Kim knocks on the door asking if she can come in. Taehyung freezes. He is

00:21:07completely naked. Afterward, he too stands before the mirror, warning himself not to overthink. Only then

00:21:13does he realize Kim has accidentally left her underwear inside. Later, she rushes to hide it,

00:21:18and both of them avoid eye contact, flustered. Kim opens the window to let fresh air in, the breeze,

00:21:23brushes against them, and for a brief moment, Taehyung finds himself captivated by her beauty.

00:21:28In his eyes, she looks incredibly beautiful. Kim feels something similar when Taehyung rolls up his

00:21:34sleeves, revealing his strong arms. For a second, he seems irresistibly charming. Meanwhile at the company,

00:21:41team leader Yoon Sung has already prepared detailed marketing data and analysis. Satisfied with the

00:21:47groundwork, he asks Kim to draft the proposal. Wanting to leave a good impression on her first love,

00:21:52Kim agrees without hesitation. One evening, while Taehyung takes the trash out with little Wooju,

00:21:58they run into the neighbor who once broke the water heater. Just then, Kim arrives home from work,

00:22:03and the neighbor casually calls her Taehyung's darling. Kim is confused. The neighbor's mother kindly

00:22:09tells them they can always ask for help if needed. Later at home, Yoon Sung calls Kim to discuss the

00:22:14proposal. Wooju makes noise in the background, and Taehyung accidentally adds to it. Yoon Sung hears

00:22:20everything. Kim quickly lies, saying it is just the television. Determined to impress Yoon Sung,

00:22:26Kim decides to devote herself entirely to the project. She holds Taehyung's hand and sincerely asks him to

00:22:32take care of Wooju while she works overtime. Faced with her earnest gaze, Taehyung cannot refuse.

00:22:38As the project progresses, Kim works late into the night. Sometimes Taehyung quietly hands her a drink.

00:22:44When she returns home exhausted, she often falls asleep instantly. Taehyung gently covers her with a

00:22:49blanket and tidies her scattered documents. While cleaning, he finds old university photos of Kim

00:22:55and notes she once wrote to encourage herself. Seeing how hard she pushes herself, Taehyung feels a sudden

00:23:00ache in his heart. Under the bed, he finds a glow-in-the-dark star sticker. He remembers that night

00:23:06when Kim

00:23:06drunkenly told him about them. As children, she and her sister lived in a damp basement filled with

00:23:12mold. To hide the stains on the ceiling, her sister covered them with glowing stars. Whenever Kim felt

00:23:17sad, her sister would make corn pancakes to comfort her. Thinking of her sister's kindness, Kim feels

00:23:23deep regret for the harsh words she once said. That night, Taehyung gently pats her back as she sleeps.

00:23:30The next evening, he decides to cook her favorite corn pancakes.

00:23:33He finishes preparing them, but Kim is late due to overtime. Seeing the rain outside and the pancakes

00:23:38growing cold, Taehyung grabs an umbrella and heads to the bus stop, even telling Wooju that he is only

00:23:44going out of humanitarian concern. However, a sleek car pulls up before Kim arrives. A handsome,

00:23:50well-dressed man steps out. Taehyung watches in disbelief as Kim exits the car. It is Yoon Sung who has

00:23:56driven her home again. Seeing their friendly conversation, Taehyung feels a surge of irritation. When Kim enters,

00:24:02sees Taehyung waiting with pancakes, she feels guilty. After tasting them, she realizes he

00:24:08thoughtfully added corn. Touched, she later buys a fashion magazine featuring Taehyung alongside a

00:24:14photographer and praises his talent. Just then, the photographer calls Taehyung, impressed by his

00:24:20ability, and invites him to assist on a shoot. Taehyung hesitates, unsure if he wants to return to

00:24:26photography. Kim strongly encourages him, reminding him of the camera he once threw away and then

00:24:32retrieved. She tells him that only by facing it again will he know whether it is something he truly

00:24:37cannot let go of. Her words move him. After much thought, Taehyung accepts the offer. Kim promises to

00:24:44leave work on time that night, but just as she is about to leave, Yoon Sung asks her to step

00:24:49out and discuss work.

00:24:50She calls Taehyung to apologize. Left with no choice, Taehyung brings Wooju to the studio.

00:24:56Meanwhile, Kim and Yoon Sung work together in a hotel conference room. They reminisce about staying

00:25:00up all night in college. Yoon Sung admits he did not do it for a scholarship. He simply wanted to

00:25:05spend time with her. Hearing this, Kim's heart wavers. At the studio, however, Wooju is accidentally

00:25:11injured during the shoot. Taehyung rushes him to the hospital. The hospital requires a guardian,

00:25:16so he calls Kim repeatedly. After more than 10 calls, she finally answers. Fortunately,

00:25:21Wooju's condition stabilizes. Kim apologizes, explaining she was overwhelmed with work.

00:25:27In frustration, Taehyung blurts out hurtful words, reminding her that he is only a temporary resident

00:25:32while she is Wooju's legal guardian. The next day, Wooju's fever subsides. Taehyung regrets his harsh tone

00:25:39and buys hot porridge as an apology. When they return home, the doorbell rings. Kim opens the door

00:25:44and is stunned to see Yoon Sung standing there. Even more shocking, he reveals that he is the

00:25:49landlord. Episode 4 ends here. Episode 5 begins with an unexpected visitor standing at Kim's door,

00:25:54team leader Yoon Sung. To her shock, Yoon Sung calmly reveals that he is the homeowner.

00:26:00Flustered, Kim hurriedly pushes Taehyung into the room, scoops up little Wooju, and frantically hides

00:26:06the toys scattered across the living room. Only after tidying everything, does she open the door

00:26:10properly? Yoon Sung is just as surprised to learn that Kim lives there. Meanwhile, Taehyung secretly

00:26:16opens the door a crack and overhears Kim addressing Yoon Sung as senior. Remembering how often she has

00:26:21mentioned this senior lately, it suddenly clicks. This is the unforgettable first love she has been

00:26:26talking about. As Yoon Sung sits in the living room, he casually picks up Wooju's toy rabbit. At that exact

00:26:32moment, Wooju runs out demanding his rabbit back. Taehyung rushes out after him but slips and falls right in front

00:26:38of Yoon Sung, looking completely disheveled. Embarrassed, Kim quickly pulls Yoon Sung outside and

00:26:44explains her relationship with Wooju and Taehyung. Instead of criticizing her, Yoon Sung gently asks

00:26:49whether she is overworking herself. Back inside, Kim apologizes to Taehyung for hiding him. Still upset,

00:26:56Taehyung complains that she takes her first love far too seriously. To him, it seems as if she is ashamed

00:27:01to

00:27:01let Yoon Sung know she is raising Wooju and living with her in-law. Kim tries to explain, but Taehyung

00:27:08refuses to

00:27:08listen and the argument escalates. Her best friend later points out that while Kim may have hidden

00:27:14Taehyung, his anger seems excessive. She suspects that ever since the night they shared the same bed,

00:27:20Taehyung might have developed feelings. Kim quickly shuts that idea down. In her heart, she insists she

00:27:26still cares about Yoon Sung. At work, Kim cannot even look Yoon Sung in the eyes. She speaks cautiously,

00:27:32afraid of saying the wrong thing. Meanwhile, Taehyung vents to his two close friends while they help clean the

00:27:37house. He insists that Kim constantly annoys him, especially today when her first love showed up

00:27:43at the door. Around the same time, renowned photographer Amy officially hires Taehyung as her

00:27:48assistant. She shows him photos he recently took, photos of Wooju and Kim. Amy notes that the images are

00:27:54filled with warmth and affection. Though Taehyung insists he and Kim are merely in-laws, Amy gently reminds him

00:28:00that the camera never lies. Whatever emotions he felt while pressing the shutter are clearly visible in the

00:28:05photographs. Her words linger in his mind. Later on their way home, a neighbor invites Kim to go camping

00:28:11with Wooju. Thinking it would be good for the child, Kim eagerly agrees. That evening, she knocks on

00:28:17Taehyung's door and invites him to join. Needing an excuse to ease the tension between them, he agrees

00:28:23immediately. The next day, under bright sunlight, they arrive at the campsite with their neighbors.

00:28:27It is Taehyung's first time camping, and setting up the tent proves challenging. Just as he gathers the

00:28:32courage to apologize for their argument, Wooju interrupts by demanding a diaper change. Taehyung

00:28:38can only sigh at the little boy's impeccable timing. Later, a neighbor's child asks Taehyung to take

00:28:43photos. As he lifts the camera, Kim and Wooju naturally enter the frame, becoming the true

00:28:48focus of his lens. During a break, Taehyung notices Kim's phone ringing inside the tent.

00:28:53It is Yoon Sung. As he hands her the phone, he overhears a neighbor jokingly call him Kim's boyfriend.

00:28:58Kim quickly denies it, firmly stating that Taehyung has absolutely nothing to do with that word.

00:29:04She even complains that they clash constantly and that he will soon move out anyway. Hearing this,

00:29:10Taehyung quietly walks away, hurt. In the afternoon, while everyone enjoys barbecue,

00:29:15Kim brings food to the tent and invites Taehyung to eat. Still sulking, he accidentally knocks the plate

00:29:21from her hands. Now it is Kim who feels upset, unable to understand his sudden coldness. Later, as Kim walks

00:29:27alone along a tree-lined path, Yoon Sung calls to remind her to check her email. The surrounding

00:29:32noise makes it hard to hear, so she wanders deeper into the woods. When sunset arrives and she has not

00:29:37returned, the neighbors grow worried. Taehyung pretends not to care, until the neighbors scold him and reveal

00:29:42something he did not hear earlier. After complaining about Taehyung, Kim had admitted that she does not

00:29:48actually want him to move out. At first, she found him difficult, but over time, she realized he is

00:29:53simply bad at expressing himself. In truth, he is thoughtful and gentle with Wooju. She fears that

00:29:58once he leaves, he will completely disappear from their lives. Upon hearing this, Taehyung immediately

00:30:04runs into the woods searching for her. After calling out repeatedly, he finally hears her voice.

00:30:09Kim has gotten lost and injured her leg. As thunder roars and heavy rain begins, Taehyung supports her

00:30:14into a small abandoned hut. There, he carefully checks her wound. Their eyes meet in the dim light,

00:30:19and something unspoken passes between them. Kim thanks him softly. She admits that when she was

00:30:24lost and frightened, hearing his voice reassured her. In that moment, she realizes she relies on

00:30:30him more than she thought. Noticing his rain-soaked shoulders, she recalls that he dislikes rainy days.

00:30:36Taehyung explains it is not the rain itself he hates, but the memories it brings. Memories of someone he

00:30:41could never see again. Kim understands he means his brother. Sensing his lingering sadness,

00:30:46she makes a promise. From now on, on any day he finds himself without an umbrella,

00:30:51he can call her. That promise stirs something deep within him.

00:31:17After camping, they return home with Wooju. Unexpectedly, Yoon Sung is waiting at the entrance of the complex,

00:31:23worried because Kim ended their call abruptly. When he learns she fell, he insists on taking her

00:31:28to the hospital. To thank him, Kim agrees to have dinner with him the next day. At home,

00:31:33Taehyung quietly prepares ointment for her injury. Watching her interactions with Yoon Sung leaves him

00:31:38unsettled. The following day, Kim goes out with Wooju to meet Yoon Sung. Before leaving,

00:31:44she notices that Taehyung has caught a cold from the rain. Though concerned, he brushes it off and tells her

00:31:49to go.

00:31:49During lunch, Yoon Sung thoughtfully orders a children's meal for Wooju. He mentions that Kim

00:31:55seems to avoid him at work and asks her to treat him the same as before, not as a superior,

00:31:59but as the

00:32:00senior she once knew. Meanwhile at home, Taehyung receives a photo from the neighbor's child, the one

00:32:06he took at the campsite. Seeing Kim in that image and remembering her promise in the rain warms his heart.

00:32:12That evening, his fever worsens. In his hazy state, he recalls the loneliness of being abandoned. But when

00:32:19he opens his eyes, he sees Kim sitting quietly beside him. This time, he is not alone. Looking

00:32:25at her, Taehyung can no longer suppress his feelings. At last, he confesses. Episode 5 ends here. Episode 6

00:32:30begins with Kim caught between two confessions, her heart thrown into complete confusion. The night

00:32:35before, Taehyung finally confessed his feelings. He told her she was the first person in his life who had

00:32:40never disappointed him. Faced with such sincerity, Kim was completely flustered. Fortunately, a knock at

00:32:46the door interrupted them, giving her the perfect excuse to escape. It was the neighbor bringing side

00:32:51dishes. During their conversation, the neighbor casually mentioned that everyone had learned Kim and

00:32:56Taehyung were not a couple, but in-laws. The already awkward atmosphere instantly grew heavier. Kim hurriedly

00:33:03saw the neighbor out. Inside, Taehyung stood before the mirror, suddenly hyper aware of his appearance in

00:33:08front of Kim. The next morning, he found Kim and Wooju asleep on the sofa. Quietly, he drew the curtains

00:33:14and tucked a blanket around them. His mind replayed the scene from the previous night. Kim returning

00:33:18home to care for him when he was sick, gently touching the tip of his nose. Now unconsciously,

00:33:24he touched the same spot, his gaze softening. When Kim nearly burned herself with hot porridge,

00:33:28Taehyung quickly handed her water. Still embarrassed about his confession, she barely took a sip before

00:33:33rushing away. Before leaving for work, Kim received a call informing her that a spot had opened at

00:33:38kindergarten. Wooju could start immediately. She quickly messaged Taehyung, reminding him to take

00:33:43the child. At kindergarten, while filling out the registration form, Taehyung paused at the word

00:33:48guardian. His eyes darkened and softened at the same time. Memories of waiting for his brother and

00:33:54pouring rain surfaced. Kneeling down, he gently told Wooju to behave and promised that Aunt Kim would pick

00:33:59him up later. Wooju obediently wrapped his arms around him. In that instant, Taehyung's heart melted.

00:34:05After settling the child, he sent Kim his daily parenting report. Accidentally attaching a selfie

00:34:10instead, seeing his carefully posed photo, Kim panicked all over again. Her best friend teased

00:34:16her mercilessly. He confessed. So what do you feel? Kim's mind filled with memories of Taehyung always

00:34:22showing up when she needed him. Despite his prickly exterior, he was deeply loyal and quietly gentle.

00:34:28Her friend urged her to see him as a man, not just an in-law. Kim quickly denied any special

00:34:33feelings,

00:34:33insisting her heart belonged to no one. Meanwhile, Yoon Sung continued pursuing her. During breaks,

00:34:39he bought her elaborate drinks, the same special recipe she had loved in university. He admitted he

00:34:44had remained single since missing his chance with her years ago. Kim praised him sincerely. In her eyes,

00:34:50he was handsome, intelligent, and kind. Hearing her words, Yoon Sung's expression brightened. After picking up

00:34:56Wooju from kindergarten and reading the teacher's positive feedback, Kim returned home. Yet the tension

00:35:01between her and Taehyung remained. Both spoke awkwardly, saying things they did not mean. Even

00:35:07Wooju blinked at the strange atmosphere. That evening, Taehyung received a call. The renovation

00:35:12of his new apartment was complete. He could inspect it and move in immediately. The mark on the calendar

00:35:17reminded him that a full month had nearly passed. Summoning his courage, he told Kim that his

00:35:22confession had been sincere. But he did not want to pressure her. He hoped they could return to being

00:35:27comfortable with each other. Grateful, Kim adjusted her attitude, and their conversations

00:35:31slowly returned to normal. Taehyung had grown used to her habits. Every morning, he could instantly

00:35:37point out where she had left her wallet or phone. One day, after Kim left for work, Taehyung learned

00:35:42that a thief had been targeting women living alone in their neighborhood. He quickly messaged her to come

00:35:47home early. When he visited his renovated apartment, he deliberately found faults. Criticizing the

00:35:52wallpaper, the tiles, anything to delay moving in. The workers were exasperated. But he remained stubborn.

00:35:58That evening, worried about him, Kim waited near the entrance of the complex. As she walked through a

00:36:03dark alley, she sensed someone following her. Fear tightened her chest. Just as panic rose, Taehyung appeared

00:36:09at the corner. The relief on her face was immediate. After hearing what happened, Taehyung made a pinky promise

00:36:15with her. If anything like that happened again, she must call him immediately. To continue living with her,

00:36:20he lied. Claiming the new apartment was uninhabitable due to renovation problems?

00:36:25Kim believed him without question and agreed he could stay. He even bought her pepper spray,

00:36:31demonstrating its use, only to foolishly spray it into his own eyes. Kim hurriedly helped him wash them,

00:36:36but Taehyung's attention was fixed entirely on her. To him, she seemed to glow. When she nearly slipped

00:36:43leaving the bathroom, he caught her. Their hearts pounded in unison. Later, during a company

00:36:47collaboration, the visual team arrived, and the photography assistant turned out to be Taehyung,

00:36:54office gossip instantly reignited, as many still believed they were a couple. Taehyung did not

00:36:59deny it, but Kim quickly distanced herself. Yoon Sung grew subtly jealous, criticizing Taehyung's

00:37:05professionalism. Taehyung retaliated by emphasizing his closeness with Kim. In response, Yoon Sung casually

00:37:12wiped food from Kim's lips in front of him. Not to be outdone, Taehyung boldly asked Kim if he had

00:37:17been

00:37:17too intense with her the previous night. The tension between the two men became unmistakable. Later,

00:37:23the photographer's husband pulled Taehyung aside and advised him not to miss his timing in love,

00:37:28warning that hesitation could lead to regret, just like his own failed marriage. That night, Yoon Sung

00:37:33invited Kim to watch a romantic fireworks display, fulfilling a promise from 10 years ago. Back then,

00:37:39after he confessed, Kim had run away. She admitted now that she had known his family was wealthy while

00:37:44she was poor. Her pride had made her retreat. After the fireworks, Yoon Sung drove her home.

00:37:50Meanwhile, Taehyung was still at the studio. When Kim returned, she was shocked to find the

00:37:55door wide open and the house in complete disarray. It looked like a burglary had occurred. Episode 6 ends

00:38:01here. Episode 7 begins with Kim returning home alongside Yoon Sung, only to find the door wide open and the

00:38:07house in complete disarray, as if a burglary has taken place. Frightened, Kim hesitates at the

00:38:13entrance, but Yoon Sung immediately rushes upstairs. When the lights flick on, a strange, middle-aged man

00:38:18is standing inside. To Kim's astonishment, the man reveals that he is the father of the Taehyung.

00:38:24At that moment, Taehyung rushes home in panic after hearing about the situation. Once Kim explains the

00:38:29man's identity, his father suddenly bursts into tears, regretting that he arrived too late.

00:38:34Years have passed. Facing this unfamiliar father, Taehyung's emotions are complicated. When his

00:38:40father asks how he has lived all these years, Taehyung refuses to answer. Instead, he questions his father's

00:38:46intentions. After confirming there are no hidden motives, Taehyung coldly reminds him that they are

00:38:51no longer in a relationship where they can sit together and reminisce. About the past, his father

00:38:56leaves in sorrow. Yet Taehyung's thoughts are not on him, they are on Kim. Noticing that her palm was

00:39:02scratched during the chaos, he gently applies medicine. More than his father's sudden reappearance,

00:39:07he is worried about whether she was frightened. Still, the old memories resurface. When Taehyung was a

00:39:13child, his father, pursued by powerful enemies, abandoned him cruelly, leaving him to suffer as a

00:39:18scapegoat. Even now, recalling it fills him with lingering pain. The next day, Taehyung meets his father

00:39:24again, not to reconcile, but to warn him never to appear uninvited again. His father pleads for

00:39:30another chance and openly apologizes, wanting to make amends even if it is late. But Taehyung refuses

00:39:36forgiveness. He will not rebuild a family with a man who once abandoned him. Meanwhile, Kim picks up

00:39:41Wooju from kindergarten, only to see Yoon Sung arrive in his car. He drives them home and unexpectedly suggests

00:39:48going upstairs. Acting as the landlord, he calmly changes the locks to ensure Kim's safety. While she

00:39:53retrieves tools, he steps close to assist her. The proximity creates a faintly ambiguous tension, until

00:39:59Taehyung returns home. The atmosphere instantly shifts. The two men exchange polite yet competitive

00:40:04remarks. Before leaving, Yoon Sung tells Taehyung firmly that if anything happens to Kim, he must inform him

00:40:10immediately. Taehyung replies sharply that Yoon Sung need not worry about her safety. However, Yoon Sung delivers one

00:40:17final line, warning him not to let his father bring danger to Kim. That sentence leaves Taehyung silent.

00:40:23Later, Taehyung confides in his friends about his father's sudden reappearance. For years, he felt

00:40:28rootless, as though the world had no place he could call home. But since Kim and Wooju entered his life,

00:40:33he has experienced warmth for the first time. Despite his warning, his father returns to the neighborhood

00:40:38days later. Even seeing them from afar seems to satisfy him. One afternoon, Kim runs into him while

00:40:44picking up Wooju. After hesitation, she allows him to briefly hold his grandson. The old man confesses

00:40:50his guilt and longing. Kim gently comforts him, believing that buried emotions cannot truly disappear.

00:40:56When Taehyung learns about their meeting, he becomes upset. He cannot accept Kim defending his father.

00:41:01In his eyes, he was the victim of abandonment. He thought, at the very least, Kim would stand fully on

00:41:07his

00:41:07side. At work, Kim faces her own crisis. Her team's project is selected as the company's annual flagship

00:41:13plan. But suddenly, a rival company releases a suspiciously similar proposal. Gossip spreads

00:41:18rapidly. Colleagues accuse Kim of leaking internal information. Some imply she only earned her position

00:41:24due to favoritism from Yoon Sung. Unable to prove her innocence, Kim quietly sheds tears. Yoon Sung notices

00:41:30and hands her a handkerchief, encouraging her not to pretend to be strong in front of him.

00:41:34His support strengthens her resolve. That evening, Taehyung comes to the company to apologize for his

00:41:40harsh words the previous night. Meanwhile, upper management decides to hold an internal proposal

00:41:44presentation to counter the rival company. Yoon Sung recommends Kim as presenter, but the executives

00:41:50question her qualifications. Yoon Sung insists on a fair internal competition. Hearing senior management

00:41:56switch to English, Kim confidently accepts the challenge. That night, Yoon Sung drives her home and

00:42:02offers to personally guide her preparation. This time, Kim refuses his help. She wants to succeed on

00:42:07her own. As they talk outside the apartment, Taehyung arrives carrying Wooju. Seeing Yoon Sung once again

00:42:13escorting Kim home, his expression darkens. Unexpectedly, Yoon Sung openly confesses in front of him,

00:42:20asking Kim to go on a date after her presentation. The pressure builds. After Yoon Sung leaves, Taehyung

00:42:26directly asks Kim whether she still has feelings for her first love and whether she has forgotten his

00:42:31confession. Overwhelmed, Kim avoids answering and retreats inside. Late at night, she lies awake,

00:42:36torn between two men. Yoon Sung is attentive, placing coats over her shoulders and refilling her candy jar.

00:42:43Taehyung does the same, quietly supporting her without words. When Taehyung learns about the rumors at her

00:42:48company, anger flares within him. He decides to help her fight back. Coincidentally, he has a photography job

00:42:55with overseas models and invites Kim to the studio. Instead of relying on theory,

00:42:59they arrange live food tastings to gather authentic market feedback. With no one available to babysit,

00:43:05they reluctantly ask Taehyung's father to watch Wooju. Seeing his father with his grandson brings an

00:43:12unexpected warmth to Taehyung's heart. At the studio, Kim gains valuable insights from the model's reactions.

00:43:18Later, rain begins to fall. Taehyung instinctively takes her hand and guides her under shelter.

00:43:23Their hands brush again and Kim quickly pulls away flustered. Taehyung once. Disliked rainy days,

00:43:29but tonight's rain feels different. Kim quietly tells him that no matter what happens in the future,

00:43:33she will stand firmly by his side. The next day, her hard work pays off. She triumphs in the internal

00:43:39presentation, defeating the rival proposal. Overjoyed, Taehyung takes Wooju to buy a cake to celebrate.

00:43:45But before he can surprise her, he sees Yoon Sung already standing beside Kim in the rain,

00:43:49holding an umbrella over her and confessing once more. And episode seven ends here.

00:43:54Episode eight begins with a father who vanished for 20 years suddenly reappearing,

00:43:59claiming he longs for his son and wishes to atone for the guilt of the past. Yet beneath this seemingly

00:44:04warm reunion, a secret quietly lingers. After Yoon Sung's heartfelt confession, Kim stands stunned. For him,

00:44:11these words have been waiting seven years to be spoken. For her, they arrive like an unexpected storm.

00:44:17At home, Taehyung waits with a cake. He carefully chose to celebrate her achievement.

00:44:22When Kim doesn't return, he anxiously calls and learns she has a last-minute appointment.

00:44:26The moment he realizes she is with Yoon Sung, disappointment sinks deep into his heart.

00:44:31During dinner, Yoon Sung notices her hesitation. Rather than pressuring her,

00:44:36he gently suggests they go on three dates. Give me three chances, he says, hoping time will bring her closer.

00:44:42When he drives her home, he asks for the first date. After a brief pause, Kim agrees.

00:44:47That night, Taehyung sleeps beside Wooju, but Kim lies awake, troubled by Yoon Sung's confession.

00:44:52Meanwhile, Yoon Sung consults his team, confused about why the woman he likes seems natural with other men,

00:44:58yet awkward after he confessed. Kim confides in her best friend. Why is she relaxed with Taehyung,

00:45:03but tense with Yoon Sung? She explains that with Taehyung, they have already seen each other at their worst.

00:45:09She can be imperfect in front of him, but Yoon Sung feels flawless. Around him, she only thinks

00:45:15about improving herself. Her friend advises patience. Often, the heart knows before the mind does.

00:45:21The next evening, Kim discovers the cake Taehyung bought. Guilt washes over her for not returning sooner.

00:45:27Seeing her enjoy it immediately lifts his mood. After a few bites, she asks for the instant noodles he cooked.

00:45:33Only with him can she be completely unguarded. The following day, Taehyung picks up Wooju and finds his father there.

00:45:39The child laughs happily with his grandfather. Before leaving, the old man gives Taehyung a

00:45:43box of lychee to prevent colds. Watching Wooju happily eat the fruit and remembering his father's

00:45:49quiet companionship, Taehyung feels warmth rise within him. That night, insurance agents visit. Kim's

00:45:56sister and Taehyung's brother had purchased accident insurance. As immediate family, Kim and Taehyung will

00:46:01each receive $100 million won. Instead of relief, Kim feels overwhelming sorrow. The money only reminds

00:46:08her that her sister is truly gone. Taehyung finds her downstairs and tells her not to hold back her

00:46:14tears. Finally, she collapses into his arms and cries openly. Soon after, Kim receives a message from

00:46:20Yoon Sung. Their agreed date has arrived. He takes her to a pavilion overlooking vast scenery. They ride

00:46:26bicycles through blooming spring fields. He even prepares homemade dishes. She asks why someone with his

00:46:31qualifications chose a food company. Yoon Sung explains that food unlocks memories. He wants to

00:46:36create meals that help people forget their troubles and feel happiness. The next day, Kim receives

00:46:41wonderful news. Among all contract employees, she has the highest promotion score. She is almost

00:46:47guaranteed a permanent position. Taehyung is even happier than she is. That evening, they celebrate with

00:46:53her best friend. During dinner, her friend reveals that in 10 years, Kim has rarely gotten drunk or

00:46:58cried in front of her. Taehyung is surprised. She has done both in front of him. On the way home,

00:47:03when Kim feels indigestion from eating too quickly, Taehyung presses acupoints in her hand and tells her to

00:47:08count down from 10. As she counts, her eyes rest on him unconsciously. Without realizing it, he has given

00:47:14her so much comfort. Suddenly, they learn Woojoo has developed a rash. After discovering he ate strawberries,

00:47:21his grandfather concludes the child is allergic, just like his father. Drawing from experience,

00:47:26the grandfather quickly administers first aid. When Taehyung and Kim arrive, they find Woojoo safe.

00:47:31Later, Taehyung discovers his father's wallet left behind. Inside is an old family photo. He runs

00:47:37after him and asks why he still carries it. His father replies that the photo gives him strength

00:47:41to endure hardship. For the first time, Taehyung thanks him for protecting Woojoo. Sleep escapes him

00:47:47that night. Kim enters his room and offers to stay awake with him. The next day at the hospital,

00:47:52doctors confirm Woojoo is fine. Back in the neighborhood, the grandfather meets them again

00:47:57and asks Kim to help him reconcile with Taehyung. She suggests arranging dinner. That evening,

00:48:02father and son share a meal for the first time in over 20 years. Kim quietly leaves them alone.

00:48:08Taehyung demands answers. Why was he abandoned? His father claims that Taehyung's older brother

00:48:13once said Taehyung wanted to sever ties with his incompetent father. Believing himself unwanted,

00:48:19he left. Now filled with regret, he offers to take responsibility for Woojoo if given trust.

00:48:24Moved, Taehyung gives him the doctor code. Yet doubt grows in Kim's heart. She remembers how deeply her

00:48:30brother-in-law valued family. Something feels wrong. Soon, more suspicions arise. Police reveal the

00:48:36burglar confessed to every crime, except breaking into Kim's house. Yet Taehyung's father had claimed to

00:48:42witness it. At the insurance office, Kim learns that a middle-aged man claiming to be her guardian has

00:48:47repeatedly called about the payout. Her suspicions sharpen, but she cannot bring herself to speak

00:48:52them aloud to Taehyung. In truth, her fears are correct. The father did not return out of affection,

00:48:57but for the insurance money. One morning, exhausted, Kim turns back home midway through

00:49:02her commute. To her shock, she sees Taehyung's father sneaking inside, rummaging through the room

00:49:07in search of something. And just as the truth begins to reveal its cruel face, with betrayal looming

00:49:12behind the mask of family affection, episode 8 comes to an end. Episode 9 begins with Taehyung's

00:49:18father hoping to obtain the insurance compensation left by his eldest son. Searching around the room,

00:49:23he eventually finds the official seal needed for the claim. But just as he believes his plan will

00:49:28succeed, Kim suddenly returns home and catches him in the act. Her suspicions are immediately confirmed.

00:49:34When confronted, the man shows no shame. Instead, he claims that since he raised Taehyung,

00:49:39the insurance money should naturally belong to him. Realizing how selfish he truly is,

00:49:44Kim angrily tells him to leave the house at once. In his anger, the man throws a vase in her

00:49:49direction.

00:49:50At that exact moment, Taehyung rushes forward and instinctively shields Kim, protecting her from the

00:49:55danger. Later at the police station, Taehyung learns that his father has a long history of financial

00:50:00crimes and is still under legal investigation. While he is there, a police officer approaches him

00:50:06and introduces himself as a former colleague of Taehyung's older brother. The officer reveals a truth

00:50:11that had been hidden for years. Seven years ago, Taehyung's brother was working on a fraud investigation,

00:50:17and the suspect in that case was actually their father. Determined to stop him, the brother worked

00:50:23tirelessly to gather evidence. When people asked why he was so determined, he gave a simple answer. He had to

00:50:28protect his younger brother. The truth slowly unfolds. Their father had caused endless hardship

00:50:34for the family since they were young. In order to protect Taehyung, the brother once sent him to stay

00:50:39in an orphanage temporarily while he tried to handle the situation himself. He hoped to resolve everything

00:50:44without letting his younger brother suffer. Over the years, the brother endured countless

00:50:49difficulties alone. He believed that if Taehyung stayed away, at least one of them could live freely.

00:50:54Even after growing up, the situation did not improve, as their father kept appearing and asking for money.

00:51:00Because of this, the brother became even more determined to keep Taehyung far from the chaos of his life.

00:51:05After telling the story, the officer hands Taehyung several old documents, records of the reports his

00:51:11brother had once filed against their father. Seeing the photos that showed how much his brother had

00:51:15suffered during those years fills Taehyung with deep sorrow. That night, when Taehyung returns home,

00:51:21he finally enters his late brother's room. There, he discovers a scrapbook his brother had left

00:51:26behind. Inside are countless photographs, every one of them quietly capturing Taehyung at different

00:51:32moments of his life. Only then does he realize that even though they lived apart, his brother had always

00:51:37been watching over him from afar. Looking at the scrapbook, Taehyung can no longer hold back his tears.

00:51:43The brother he once misunderstood had actually carried all the burdens alone. Later, while talking with his

00:51:50friends, Taehyung remembers the final message his brother ever sent him. It was a reminder that their

00:51:56father would soon be released. Overwhelmed with guilt, Taehyung even begins blaming himself for the accident

00:52:01that took his brother and sister-in-law's lives. He wonders if things might have been different if he had

00:52:06answered that call. Outside, rain quietly begins to fall. At home, little Wooju sits near the door, refusing to sleep,

00:52:14waiting for Uncle Taehyung to come back. Seeing this, Kim feels deeply worried, knowing that Taehyung must be

00:52:20struggling with immense regret and pain. The next day, Kim receives news of her promotion. Her co-workers

00:52:26celebrate with a cake that their team leader, Yoon Sung, carefully chose. But even during the celebration,

00:52:32Kim cannot stop thinking about Taehyung. She even wonders if encouraging him to reconcile with his father

00:52:38led to everything that happened. Her best friend suggests that, instead of worrying alone,

00:52:43she should speak honestly with Taehyung. After all, even if they are technically in-laws,

00:52:47they have already become like family. Yoon Sung also notices the injury on Kim's arm and becomes

00:52:52concerned. After speaking with her friend, he learns about the situation and later confronts Taehyung,

00:52:57criticizing him for allowing Kim to face danger again. In Yoon Sung's opinion, if Taehyung truly cares about her,

00:53:03he should not place her in such difficult situations. That evening, Kim quietly approaches

00:53:09Taehyung with a can of beer. Sitting across from him, she tells him that if he ever needs someone to

00:53:14talk to, he can always rely on her as family. But Taehyung responds bitterly. After everything that

00:53:19happened, he no longer knows what family truly means. He tried to believe in his father again,

00:53:25and in the end, it only caused Kim to get hurt. The following day, Taehyung goes out, leaving Kim to

00:53:30take

00:53:30care of Wooju alone. The little boy throws a tantrum during lunch, refusing to eat and knocking his bowl

00:53:35over. Just then, Yoon Sung calls and learns that Kim is alone with, uh, the child. He offers to come

00:53:40over and help. When he arrives, he brings building blocks as a gift for Wooju. Seeing the messy table,

00:53:45he calmly prepares a meal himself, so Kim can finally sit down and eat. Later, under the warm afternoon sun,

00:53:51he plays with Wooju, blowing bubbles and laughing together. During this peaceful moment, Yoon Sung shares

00:53:57something personal. He was adopted. Before finding his family, he grew up in an orphanage and often

00:54:02took care of younger children. Those experiences helped him learn how to care for others. Looking

00:54:06at Kim sincerely, he tells her that he hopes to pass on the same warmth he once received,

00:54:11and that he wishes to protect both her and Wooju. Meanwhile, Taehyung visits his father at the

00:54:16detention center. Instead of showing remorse, the man once again asks him for money. Taehyung firmly

00:54:22tells him that he has already requested legal protection, and if he ever approaches Kim or Wooju

00:54:26again, he will not tolerate it. That night, Taehyung visits the memorial hall where his brother's ashes

00:54:31rest. Filled with regret, he apologizes again and again for misunderstanding his brother's intentions.

00:54:37The next day, Taehyung picks up Wooju from kindergarten. The little boy happily runs into his arms,

00:54:43but after putting him to sleep that night, Taehyung quietly packs his suitcase. He decides to move out.

00:54:48He believes that his troubled life may only bring more danger to Kim. Returning to his own house,

00:54:53he feels an overwhelming emptiness. Before leaving, he gently tells Wooju that even

00:54:58though they will not live together anymore, he will still visit often and always remain his uncle.

00:55:03Meanwhile, Kim slowly tries to adapt to life without Taehyung. One day during filming,

00:55:08Taehyung works as a cameraman while Kim collaborates with Yoon Sung on a project. Watching them interact

00:55:13so naturally fills Taehyung with a quiet ache. Suddenly, a piece of scaffolding begins to fall

00:55:18toward Kim. Both men rush forward, but Yoon Sung reaches her first and protects her from the falling

00:55:24structure. Watching them walk away together afterward leaves Taehyung feeling even more conflicted.

00:55:30His friends encourage him not to give up if he truly loves her, but Taehyung shakes his head. In his

00:55:35heart, loving someone also means wishing them happiness, even if that happiness does not include him.

00:55:41Soon after, Wooju's kindergarten holds a talent show. Kim arrives alone with the child,

00:55:46seeing other families gathered together makes her feel a little lonely. But just then,

00:55:52Yoon Sung appears beside her like a sudden ray of support. And with Kim standing between two very

00:55:58different men and Taehyung quietly choosing to step back for her happiness, Episode 9 ends here.

00:56:04Episode 10 begins with Kim bringing Wooju to kindergarten by herself. Just then, Yoon Sung suddenly appears beside

00:56:10her. It is clear that he came simply to keep Kim company. However, Taehyung is also nearby.

00:56:15When he sees Kim standing with Yoon Sung, he quietly turns around and leaves without saying a word.

00:56:21After Wooju finishes his performance, Yoon Sung gives him a bouquet of flowers and happily takes

00:56:26photos of Kim and Wooju together. The little boy imitates Kim's playful peace sign and proudly says that he

00:56:32loves Aunt Kim. Seeing such a warm scene, a neighbor suggests that Yoon Sung join the photo as well.

00:56:38Yoon Sung lifts Wooju into his arms and takes a picture with Kim. Looking at the photo afterward,

00:56:42the three of them almost look like a small family. That evening, Yoon Sung invites Kim out for dinner.

00:56:48Kim feels a little uneasy, as if she has been accepting his kindness all day long. But Yoon Sung gently

00:56:54tells her that he does not want their relationship to feel distant or overly polite. He hopes they can

00:56:59grow closer naturally. Meanwhile, Taehyung quietly keeps the promise he made earlier. He secretly picks Wooju up from

00:57:06school, takes him to a bookstore to buy children's picture books, and brings him to his house to play.

00:57:11That night, he reads stories to Wooju before bedtime. After work, Kim notices a missed call

00:57:16from her neighbor and learns that Taehyung had picked Wooju up because the neighbor's mother was

00:57:21feeling unwell that day. Later that evening, Taehyung brings Wooju home. He promises that while the neighbor

00:57:26is unavailable, he will help pick Wooju up from school. Kim simply nods. Even though she does not

00:57:32ask him to stay, when she looks at the empty room where Taehyung once lived, a quiet sadness fills her

00:57:38heart. She also notices that the small lamp from the place where they first met is still turned on.

00:57:44Looking at the light, Kim softly wonders whether Taehyung has eaten well and whether he is sleeping

00:57:49properly. At the same time, Taehyung cannot stop thinking about Kim and Wooju. Even though he has only

00:57:55spent one night alone in his house, the place already feels empty, as if Wooju's presence still

00:58:01lingers everywhere. The next morning, Kim hurries to help Wooju put on his coat and takes him to school.

00:58:07At the entrance of the complex, she unexpectedly sees Yoon Sung again. Yoon Sung kindly offers to drive

00:58:13Wooju to kindergarten, and Kim finally relaxes a little. He even suggests that he could help pick

00:58:18Wooju up every morning. But when he notices the pressure on Kim's face, he quickly changes his tone

00:58:23and says she should only ask him for help when she truly needs it. At work, the food project that

00:58:29Kim

00:58:29and Yoon Sung worked on together, Amd becomes a huge success and tops the company's sales rankings.

00:58:35The company magazine decides to interview everyone involved in the project, including the photographer

00:58:39Taehyung. During the interview, Kim praises Yoon Sung for being a reliable team leader and says that his

00:58:46support helped her grow quickly. But she also mentions something else. Whenever she feels frustrated,

00:58:51her greatest comfort is returning home, where she can complain freely and even cry. Hearing this,

00:58:57Taehyung cannot help but feel touched, because he knows those complaints were always directed at him.

00:59:02When it is Taehyung's turn to speak, he explains that he once considered giving up photography.

00:59:06But someone encouraged him to pick up the camera again, saying that only then would he understand his

00:59:11true feelings. Because of that person's words, he rediscovered his love for photography. As he says this,

00:59:17Taehyung and Kim unknowingly look at each other, a moment that Yoon Sung quietly notices. Later that

00:59:23evening, Taehyung brings Wooju home, as usual. When he enters the house, he realizes that Kim is

00:59:28struggling to manage everything by herself. The house is a little messy, showing just how difficult it

00:59:33has been for her. Later, when Kim returns home again, she finds the house neatly cleaned. Fresh rice is

00:59:39waiting inside the cooker, and a small note from Taehyung reminds her to eat properly even when she is busy.

00:59:45Seeing this, Kim feels deeply moved, as memories of their time together return to her mind.

00:59:51Meanwhile, Taehyung struggles with loneliness. Eating alone at home, he often imagines Kim and Wooju

00:59:56sitting across the table from him. Only when he realizes it is just his imagination does he

01:00:01understand how much he truly misses them. When his friends visit his house, they notice that the place

01:00:06is filled with children's stickers, learning posters, and toys. Taehyung casually claims he just wanted to

01:00:12change the decoration style, but his friends quickly realize the truth. His priorities have already

01:00:17changed. Soon after, Kim receives another message from Yoon Sung. It is time for their third date.

01:00:23Feeling uneasy, Kim shares her thoughts with her best friend. Despite Yoon Sung's kindness,

01:00:28something in her heart feels heavy. Her friend explains that sometimes kindness from someone you are

01:00:33unsure about can create pressure. Still, her friend encourages her to go on the date so she can finally

01:00:38understand her true feelings. Kim agrees and goes with Yoon Sung to a children's welfare home where

01:00:43they bring gifts for the children. But even while spending time there, Kim cannot stop thinking about

01:00:48Taehyung. She remembers that Taehyung once lived in a welfare home as well. Back then, meals were simply

01:00:54about survival for him. Only after meeting Kim did he learn that sharing a meal with someone you care

01:00:59about gives food its true meaning. Just then, Kim receives a call from a colleague who tells her that Taehyung

01:01:05might be leaving for the United States that very night. Panicked, Kim immediately becomes anxious.

01:01:10In reality, however, the person leaving is actually photographer Amy's husband, Mr. Zhao. After

01:01:16finally signing the divorce papers, Mr. Zhao decides to leave the country. Even after the divorce,

01:01:21he still cannot fully let go of the woman he loves. Later, Amy realizes how deeply her husband had become

01:01:27part of her life. Without him, even simple things suddenly feel unfamiliar. Realizing her regret,

01:01:33Amy confesses to Taehyung that she pushed her husband away out of fear, even though she loved

01:01:38him deeply. She tells Taehyung that she already regrets her choice, but he still has time to

01:01:42pursue the person he truly loves. Hearing this, Taehyung immediately takes Amy to the airport so she can

01:01:48try to stop the man she loves before it is too late. At that same moment, rain begins to fall

01:01:53outside

01:01:53the welfare home. Watching the rain reminds Kim of all the moments she shared with Taehyung. Finally

01:01:58understanding her own heart, Kim apologizes to Yoon Sung and runs toward the airport. At the airport,

01:02:04Taehyung arrives with Amy to find Mr. Zhao. Kim runs through the crowded terminal and mistakenly

01:02:09believes Taehyung is the one leaving. Gathering all her courage, Kim finally confesses her feelings to

01:02:14him. This time, she refuses to leave with regrets. Right after saying those words, Kim kisses Taehyung.

01:02:21For a moment, Taehyung is stunned. Then he gently pulls her closer and returns the kiss with all the

01:02:26emotions he has been holding back. And with Kim finally realizing who truly holds her heart,

01:02:31episode 10 ends here. Episode 11 begins with Kim finally realizing where her heart truly belongs.

01:02:37The two finally confirm that their love for each other is real. Standing together at the airport,

01:02:42Taehyung quietly shares what has been in his heart during this time. For many years,

01:02:46he had grown used to returning to a silent and empty home. But after meeting Kim and Woojoo,

01:02:51that silence became unbearable. Instead, he began to cherish Woojoo's lively energy and

01:02:58every simple moment he spent with Kim. Now for Taehyung, both Kim and Woojoo have become irreplaceable

01:03:04parts of his life. The next day, Kim meets Yoon Sung and sincerely apologizes. She gently tells him that

01:03:10the feelings she once had for him are now part of the past, because there is someone else she truly

01:03:15cares

01:03:16about. Yoon Sung had already guessed that the person Kim loved was Taehyung. As always,

01:03:22he responds with quiet kindness and wishes her happiness. Before they part, Yoon Sung reveals

01:03:27something Kim did not know. Taehyung had actually attended Woojoo's kindergarten event that day.

01:03:32Although letting go is not easy for him, Yoon Sung still hopes that the person he loves will live

01:03:36happily. Later, Taehyung takes Woojoo to the park to play. The little boy happily tells Taehyung that he

01:03:42likes him very much, which fills Taehyung with joy. After work, Kim joins them, and the three walk

01:03:48home together hand in hand. Overcome with happiness, Taehyung suddenly shouts downstairs in the

01:03:53apartment complex that Kim is his girlfriend. When Kim turns around, she realizes that many neighbors

01:03:58have gathered behind them. Surrounded by applause and warm congratulations, Kim blushes with embarrassment

01:04:03and quickly runs upstairs. Taehyung, however, proudly declares that he wants the whole world to know how

01:04:09much he loves her. Kim reminds him that at work they should keep their relationship private to avoid

01:04:14unnecessary gossip. Hearing this, Taehyung becomes a little jealous and wonders if she is worried

01:04:19because of Yoon Sung. To prove her feelings, Kim suddenly kisses him. Taehyung happily responds to the

01:04:24kiss, but just as the moment grows more romantic, Woojoo suddenly runs between them, interrupting them with

01:04:29his playful curiosity. That night, Taehyung prepares to leave, but Woojoo blocks the door and refuses to let his uncle

01:04:36go.

01:04:36To calm him down, Kim and Taehyung end up pushing Woojoo around the neighborhood in his stroller several

01:04:41times. During the walk, Taehyung makes an unexpected suggestion. He wants to move back in and continue

01:04:47living with them. Kim agrees immediately, but she gives him one condition. If he moves back in,

01:04:52he is not allowed to leave again without telling her. Soon after, Taehyung returns to the apartment.

01:04:58The three begin living together again, and everyday life quickly fills with warmth and laughter.

01:05:02Whenever Kim returns home from work and sees Woojoo and Taehyung waiting for her, she feels incredibly

01:05:08happy. One day, however, Kim accidentally discovers that the contact name Taehyung saved for her on his

01:05:14phone is still temporary residence. Taehyung quickly explains that he saved it long ago and simply forgot

01:05:20to change it. Curious, he asks to see what name she saved for him. The two begin playfully arguing about

01:05:26it. As their relationship grows closer, Taehyung often tries to share more affectionate moments with

01:05:31Kim. But every time they get close, Woojoo suddenly appears nearby, watching them carefully like a tiny

01:05:36supervisor. The little boy seems to understand their relationship and keeps interrupting them,

01:05:41leaving the couple both amused and embarrassed. Amid all this happiness, a new challenge quietly appears.

01:05:47One day, Kim and Taehyung receive a letter from the family court. In order to become Woojoo's official

01:05:52guardians, they must attend a hearing and submit documents proving their ability to raise the

01:05:57child. Kim becomes worried, but Taehyung reassures her that no one in the world could care for Woojoo

01:06:02better than the two of them. From that day on, they begin preparing documents and gathering information

01:06:07to show the court their sincerity. During this time, their best friend notices that Kim has changed

01:06:13Taehyung's nickname in her phone to My Home. When asked about it, Kim openly admits that she is deeply

01:06:19satisfied with her current life. Whenever she feels tired, just thinking about the home she shares with

01:06:24Taehyung and Woojoo fills her with strength. However, the two do not always agree on everything,

01:06:29especially when it comes to parenting. Taehyung is stricter, insisting that Woojoo dress properly and sleep

01:06:35on time. Kim, on the other hand, believes it is fine to be a little more relaxed sometimes. Seeing that

01:06:40Woojoo

01:06:41has been full of energy lately, Taehyung suggests taking a family trip. But the trip quickly turns into a series

01:06:47of

01:06:47small mishaps. Woojoo grabs Kim's phone and accidentally ruins Taehyung's navigation, causing

01:06:53them to drive in circles. Later, they try to eat at a nice restaurant, only to discover that the place

01:06:58does not allow children. Even with these little setbacks, their good mood never fades. Under the

01:07:04bright sunshine, Kim and Woojoo walk through the woods hand in hand while Taehyung captures the moment

01:07:09with his camera. For them, this simple happiness is more precious than anything. Still worried about the

01:07:15upcoming court hearing, Kim feels anxious. Taehyung gives her a four-leaf clover and tells her that

01:07:20their sincerity and love for Woojoo will surely bring good fortune. On the way home, they stop at a

01:07:25rest area. While looking for Woojoo's missing dinosaur toy, Kim accidentally lets go of his hand

01:07:30for just a moment, and in the blink of an eye, Woojoo disappears. Panicked, Kim and Taehyung search

01:07:36frantically through the crowded rest stop. Finally, they ask the staff at the announcement desk to broadcast a

01:07:42message describing Woojoo. Seeing Kim on the verge of collapsing, Taehyung continues searching

01:07:46desperately. Fortunately, a kind woman finds Woojoo and brings him safely to the service center.

01:07:52Overwhelmed with relief, Kim hugs Woojoo tightly, realizing just how terrified she was of losing him.

01:07:58That night, even after Woojoo falls asleep, Kim continues blaming herself for letting go of his hand.

01:08:03Taehyung gently embraces her and comforts her, reminding her that she must not lose confidence

01:08:08if she wants to continue being Woojoo's reliable guardian. Thanks to his words, Kim finally calms

01:08:13down. The next day is the scheduled family court hearing. Because of work, Kim arrives slightly

01:08:19late. When she rushes into the courtroom, she is shocked to discover that the investigator handling

01:08:23their case is the same woman who helped find Woojoo at the rest stop the day before. After reviewing

01:08:28their documents, the investigator expresses concern. Kim's working hours are irregular and she often

01:08:34relies on Taehyung or neighbors to care for Woojoo. She also mentions Taehyung's father and the

01:08:39previous incident involving the insurance money. Taehyung promises that such problems will never

01:08:45happen again. But the investigator calmly explains that once money and family conflicts are involved,

01:08:50the future becomes difficult to predict. Kim tries her best to explain the love and responsibility

01:08:55she and Taehyung feel toward Woojoo. However, the investigator remains cautious. In her opinion,

01:09:01a child needs a stable and secure environment, not guardians who might still be learning how to

01:09:07handle such responsibilities. Considering everything, including the incident where Woojoo

01:09:47the way. Thank you so much for your support. We've already reached 50,000 subscribers and every bit of that

01:09:53success belongs to all of you who watch and support the channel. Without you, none of this would be

01:09:58possible. Now, let's return to the story. Episode 12 begins. Kim decides to pull herself together and

01:10:05treasure this final opportunity to prove that she and Taehyung are capable of raising Woojoo.

01:10:10Unfortunately, on the day the investigator plans to visit their home, Taehyung has to leave for an

01:10:15unavoidable business trip. That leaves Kim alone to handle the inspection. Even before the visit,

01:10:20Kim nervously cleans the entire house, making sure every corner looks perfect. She wants the

01:10:25investigator to see a warm and loving home where Woojoo can grow up safely, but life rarely goes

01:10:31exactly as planned. While preparing the house, Kim suddenly notices that Woojoo has a fever.

01:10:36She quickly searches for the medicine box, but at that moment she hears Woojoo crying outside.

01:10:41Kim rushes out in panic and discovers that the little boy has slipped while going down the stairs and

01:10:46hurt himself. Fortunately, the visiting investigator happens to arrive at that moment,

01:10:50and manages to catch Woojoo before he falls badly. However, the scene creates a terrible

01:10:56misunderstanding. Believing that Woojoo might have been harmed because of negligence,

01:11:00the investigator immediately calls the police. After hearing the report, the police conclude that

01:11:05Woojoo may be living in an unsafe environment and decide to take emergency action. They temporarily

01:11:10remove Woojoo from the home and place him under protective care. Kim desperately tries to explain

01:11:15through tears that she was only distracted for a moment and that she cannot live without Woojoo.

01:11:19But the police cannot ignore the procedure. Despite her cries, they take Woojoo away.

01:11:25Watching Woojoo leave in the police car, Kim nearly collapses from heartbreak.

01:11:29That evening, Taehyung returns from his business trip. When he hears what happened,

01:11:33he rushes to Kim's side. Kim blames herself repeatedly, believing her carelessness caused Woojoo's

01:11:38injury and led to this terrible situation. Taehyung gently holds her as she cries,

01:11:43helping her calm down and process everything that has happened. One day, the grandmother next door

01:11:48calls Kim over to talk. Kim confides in her, saying that she truly wants to be part of Woojoo's family,

01:11:54but everything that happened has made her doubt whether she is capable of raising him. The grandmother

01:11:59then reveals a secret. The man Kim always believed was her son is actually her son-in-law. Her daughter

01:12:05passed away many years ago, and after that tragedy, her son-in-law moved in to keep her company. Every

01:12:11day he tells her silly jokes just to make her smile. Even though she once encouraged him to move on

01:12:16and

01:12:16live his own life, he refused. For him, staying by her side and caring for her had become the most

01:12:22meaningful part of his life. From this, the grandmother learned something important. Being family

01:12:26is not about having the official right to worry about someone. True family is built through care,

01:12:32support, and the connection people share with each other. Her words finally help Kim let go of the

01:12:37pressure she has been carrying. Instead of focusing on rights and titles, Kim quietly packs Woojoo's

01:12:42clothes, toys, medicine, and other belongings. She brings them to the child protection center and asks

01:12:48the staff to pass them to the foster family temporarily caring for Woojoo, hoping they will look after him

01:12:53well while spending time together. Afterward, Taehyung opens up about his past. At his brother's funeral,

01:13:00he once refused to take responsibility for Woojoo because he believed he did not know how to love

01:13:05anyone properly. But after meeting Kim, he finally learned what love and family truly mean. Taehyung

01:13:12tells Kim that she should trust him and stop caring everything alone. They can learn together and face

01:13:17every challenge side by side. His words ease the heavy weight in Kim's heart.

01:13:21Determined to bring Woojoo home, the two begin preparing seriously. They install child safety rails,

01:13:28security cameras, and many other safety measures around the house. Their neighbors also step in to help,

01:13:33assisting with installations and bringing useful supplies. Soon afterward, the police call Kim and Taehyung

01:13:39to provide statements regarding Woojoo's situation. After reviewing the case, the police believe the

01:13:44emergency action taken earlier may have been too strict. They also reveal something surprising.

01:13:48Yoon Sung has been quietly helping as well. He hired a lawyer and visited Woojoo's kindergarten teachers

01:13:54and neighbors, collecting statements and signatures supporting Kim and Taehyung. Finally, Kim receives

01:13:59the news she has been waiting for. Woojoo's emergency protection order has been lifted. When the little

01:14:05boy returns home, Kim and Taehyung are overwhelmed with happiness. Later, the investigator conducts another home

01:14:11visit. She notices that every part of the house has been carefully secured for Woojoo's safety. She also

01:14:16reviews the petition organized by Yoon Sung and the photo album Taehyung prepared, filled with memories of

01:14:22Woojoo growing up surrounded by love. The neighbors' testimonies in the photos clearly show that Woojoo has

01:14:28always lived in a happy and caring environment. Finally, the day of the court hearing arrives. The two anxious

01:14:34adults wait nervously for the decision. At last, the judge announces the result. The court officially

01:14:39appoints Kim as Woojoo's legal guardian. With the review successfully completed, Kim, Taehyung, and Woojoo

01:14:45step into a new chapter of their lives together. Kim later thanks Yoon Sung for everything he has done.

01:14:51She learns that he will soon be leaving to work in the United States. At the same time, she realizes

01:14:56that

01:14:56Woojoo's birthday is coming up next week. To prepare for the celebration, Taehyung calls his two best

01:15:01friends for help. Their neighbors also enthusiastically join in, buying food, decorating the venue, and

01:15:07cooking delicious dishes. On Woojoo's birthday, the little boy arrives wearing a tiny suit looking

01:15:13incredibly adorable. Everyone who cares about him gathers for the celebration.

01:15:40Taehyung gives a heartfelt speech, thanking everyone for supporting them and helping Woojoo grow up

01:15:45surrounded by love. In that warm and joyful atmosphere, Taehyung, Kim, and Woojoo stand together

01:15:51as a family. As Taehyung raises his camera and captures the moment, the three of them share a

01:15:56picture that perfectly preserves their happiness. And with that beautiful moment, the drama comes to an

01:16:01end. Thank you for watching. Don't forget to like the video, leave a comment, and subscribe to the K-Drama
