The bright morning atmosphere in Hae Soo's residence looks different, this time the small family is repairing their house which is quite messy. Unlike usual, the oldest Hyung in the family was also present to enliven the monthly ritual. Usually when the day comes to bed, Hae Soo who is "original" prefers to spend time in the room while sleeping, and do not bother with all forms of activities that occur outside his room. But this time everything was different, he really took the spirit to clean up everything.
Although Hae Soo's former consort never held a broomstick and cleaned, the girl still had an adventurous spirit that delighted in new things, so he doesn't mind doing that. Even Hae Soo is happy to be free to do anything that has never been tried without binding rules.
This change in attitude left his entire family both confused and amazed. Could be a lazy girl who even put her dirty clothes in the washing machine just does not want, even the spirit of cleaning the entire house. Even the perfectionist Yeon Seok, Hae Soo's second brother, is amazed at the persistence of his youngest sister.
"Gee, well, finally the girl in this house is functioning properly...." Ledek mother while preparing the burnt in the yard for lunch later along with their oldest hyung, Jun Woo.
"Mother, I'm already glad to see that thug finally came to his senses. Don't make fun of him not working." Yeon Seok, the second hyung.
"Aiiii. let's get the barbecue ready. Dad's hungry.." Father suddenly appeared while carrying his own chopsticks and bowl.
PLTAK!
"Haish! It's for lunch, we're not done. Do your job there! Just bring the bowl." Mom hit dad's hand.
Yeon Seok and Jun Woo laugh at the behavior of their mother and father. Meanwhile, Hae Soo who is still struggling with dust and dirt stuck on the ceiling of the house finds something.
"Mother..dad...What are you doing?" Said Hae Soo who suddenly came and found a small commotion in the courtyard of their small house.
All eyes were on the glittering little thing the girl was carrying, including Yeon Seok and Jun Woo.
"Hae Soo... Where did you find this thing?" Mom quickly snatches a necklace with a tube-shaped crystal jewel from Hae Soo's hands. The girl immediately looked confused, and as she was about to ask again quickly mother told her to go in to clean up the meat that had not been sliced.
"Oh... have not asked, you have cleaned the room and some rooms in this house right? Now help Yeon slice the meat." Mom gives Yeon the code to immediately take Hae Soo away.
"Yes, but I also want to know that..."
"Hae Soo, you haven't worked in the kitchen yet right, because I have time again you can learn a lot from me! Ayo..." Yeon immediately pulled Hae Soo's hand.
After they left the place, mom, dad, and Jun Woo threw eyes at each other, then focused on the crystal necklace.
"I thought it was thrown away, but it's still in the house..." Jun Woo spoke up. Mom threw a sharp look at me as she said, "Where do you keep this thing? Why is Hae Soo here!" Whisper mother while pressing her tone. Father occasionally gulped and found it difficult to open his voice.
"That's it. I put it on the ceiling of the house, I thought Hae Soo couldn't possibly explore the place." Reveal father stammering.
Jun Woo and mother let out a long sigh. " Then you want to drag us back to that big house? God.. I've been living peacefully for 10 years away from that woman!" Grunts mom.
"For so long Yeon and I have been trying to be perfect to please Grandma so she doesn't think about her granddaughter. If you find out where you are, mom and Hae Soo that woman will really drag you back and engagement with the Yi family will be done." Jun Woo brightly lit up with a worried tone.
After quite a long time standing, the three of them decided to sit down like a dignified person in an elegant style. This is the true face of Hae Soo's little family who looks like ordinary people, but they don't.
"This necklace why don't you throw it away from the beginning" said the mother.
"Many considerations I have in mind, if this necklace is thrown carelessly and taken away irresponsible people of Yi and Kang's extended family can fall apart. I've been taking him to a diamond smelter for a long time, but this shit is too solid and indestructible." Dad's light is serious.
"Over time we fabricate death together, living in simplicity, changing the clan to Jang, so that the fate of our beloved Hae Soo is not restrained. I don't want her fate to be the same as your suicidal sister Kang Anh. I can't imagine if your stepmother knew that both of us and Hae Soo were alive!" Mother rubbed her forehead slowly which began to snort.
"We can certainly take good care of him. Until later he can marry his chosen lover, then peace really exists in our small family." Dad rubbed his shoulders slowly while strengthening the woman who now looks riled up.
"Jun Woo, how are the Yi and Kang family moving? " Ask dad.
"Grandmother is still exerting her strength to look for you, and the Yi family also continues to urge her eldest grandchild to look for Hae Soo. Indeed at this time the girl was still safe in a place and a simple life like this. But I'm afraid it didn't last long. " Light Jun Woo.
"Why is the old woman still ambitious to take Hae Soo from us!!" Rutuk. "Actually I can't stand life like this, the life here is very much different from what I usually accept. Hae Soo can actually be raised properly too! Otherwise due to the ridiculous agreement between elder Kang and Yi, this would definitely not have happened!" The woman continued with annoyance.
"How else, the Yi family's fantastic wealth, the background of the royal family owned, they promised an extraordinary dowry offering to the granddaughter-in-law of the Kang family. And it was prepared long before the female descendants of the Kang family appeared. That cunning woman must have a plan to master it! It was fortunate that Kang's family had only given birth to sons. But so far only my sister and Hae Soo are girls... " Dad chimed in mother's words with a sad face.
"The consequences of being Yi's son-in-law were extraordinarily heavy. Even as far as what I heard aunt was almost depressed because the temperament and rules of the Yi family were very strict. " Jun Woo frowned.
"Why should you protect me? " Turna2 Hae Soo comes carrying an iron tray full of meat.
Father, mother and Jun Woo were shocked. While Yeon who is standing behind Hae Soo gives a signal if he has been as strong as possible to block Hae Soo to their place.
"Yes, we're just telling you about the critical times you were in. So don't let it happen again, we have to protect you.... " Mom tried to explain even to get stuck.
Hae Soo then smiles and immediately approaches her small family. "Come on, time to eat!!!" The girl's scream was carefree. The atmosphere between them turned warm again.

Meanwhile, at Kang's residence
"Why grandma whistled loudly looking for the remains of the Kang family.... " A girl grumbled when she saw her grandmother sitting next to a large, magnificent window while staring at a small photo of a daughter with her mother's father and two brothers.
"They must not have died. I can't possibly waste such a great opportunity to reap the benefits of the Yi family. " The light of the old woman was flat.
"If they do not exist! How! Besides me, your pretty grandson is also interesting for the Yi family!" The girl pouted.
"Nara's.... I can't throw a diamond into the lion enclosure of the Yi family. They're tight, while you like freedom. I can't possibly put you in a living grave. " The light of grandma slowly, while approaching the girl who had been with him since.
Suddenly the main butler of the Kang family comes to see Kang's mistress.
"There's news of Mr. Yi's move, madam." Not that middle-aged man.
"On Hae Soo? " Tell the woman.
"It seems that their family is still looking for signs of the existence of young master and young mistress Kang. They dropped off their second grandson. " The light of the butler.
"Well, however, the truth must be revealed. Nearly 10 years after the family disappeared in an accident. It is natural to look for relatives that are not found. Whatever it is, even the ashes must be found!. " Recisive Miss Kang.
"But I'd rather believe they still have another life out there that I don't know about!" The woman passed by while smilingly tidying up her hair bun.
As the butler walked up to Miss Kang. Nara held the man.
"Hey old man! What's so special about Hae Soo in grandma's eyes anyway! " It seems that the girl was not satisfied with the answer given by the grandmother.
The butler stared sinisterly at Nara. He watched the girl from top to bottom and repeated it again.
"Our big number is not comparable to yours! I warn you again, miss, you are still appreciated because you are the son of Mrs Kang's daughter. Thanks to the mercy of your late great master who only counted as outsiders are still in this residence." The butler immediately passed leaving the girl alone.
The look from his reddened face restrained his anger while clenching both of his hands.
"What if I'm not Kang's flesh and blood? My grandmother is the great mistress of this family! I can definitely get what should be mine too. Yi has a good reputation, I'm part of a good family, so I deserve it!!!" Gerrutu Jo Nara's.
***
Along the corridors of the Kang family's magnificent mansion, suddenly the great mistress stopped on a wall that was the longest picture of her with the late great lord Kang. To the left of the woman stood her beautiful daughter named Yoon Jeun Ahn while next to her husband was Kang Ahn Seok the Kang family's first child, who was the daughter of the Kang family, and on the woman's lap was their married son, Kang Su Lim. The woman saw the faces of her son and daughter.
"Jeun Ahn, you do have the same name as Kang Ahn. Unfortunately you were not born as big miss Kang. Although no matter how much your contribution, intelligence, and skills take care of the Kang family until now, you are still not the main one. In contrast to the useless man who had two amazing sons! " Mrs Kang threw a cynical look at the picture of young Kang Ahn who was so innocent and holy.
Then that look of hatred turned into sadness as he stared at the photo of Kang Su Lim. The woman's only hope is to connect with Kang's extraordinary family.
"Su Lim.., thanks to you, I can be in this position now. Were it not for your happy birth master, I would not have been able to live up to the title of Kang's mistress for the rest of my life. But unfortunately. why did you have to leave so soon... Suppose at that time it wasn't you who died, but Kang Ahn.... " The evil woman's tears are dripping. Then he wiped it with a silk handkerchief that he always carried with him everywhere.
"After all, life goes on. Even though I can't make my daughter have a strong position for the Kang family. I have to use the Kang family's real daughter to gain Yi's power. In any case, Jun Woo will soon be the head of the Kang family. And I can't let my guard down! I have to get Kang Hae Soo! " Mrs Kang with a burning gaze rounded her determination and ambition filled with greed.
