I couldn't help it
because you looked so pretty.

You shouldn't be so pretty.

You're very cranky.

(Episode 75)

I want to make you mine.

That won't happen.

And it never should happen.

So this stuff doesn't work on you.

Listen to me, Mr. Shin.

Let me guess
why you're doing this...

even though you know
I won't fall for you.

You're trying to make me
become a shameless woman...

so that Jung Min would get shocked.

That way, he'll finally get over me.

Bingo.

It's the perfect way for him
to finally give up on you.

You make it sound convincing.

But you see,

I can see right through you.

Although it's never going to happen,

if you and I become an item,

I will no longer be able
to believe...

that you worry about
and care for Jung Min.

The fact that you tried
to cross the line just now...

even though you know
how much it'll shock Jung Min...

means you either want
to ridicule me,

or you have a grudge
against Jung Min.

It has to be one or the other.

Which one is it?

You're pretty clever.

I guess you finally understand
why I kept...

hitting on you in front of Jung Min.

Then here's your answer.

What answer?

I want you to disappear
from Jung Min's sight.

I have this weird hunch...

that you might end up
ruining his life.

You're crossing the line.

Yes, I tend to be a little rude.

Even if these photos
of Mr. Shin and Ms. Lee...

are not what they look like,

people could still criticize you
for letting Ms. Lee become...

the CEO of Bisang Textile saying
it was preferential treatment.

I know it was decided arbitrarily
by the late chairman,

and Chung Group willingly
agreed to it,

but you and Ms. Lee used to date,

so it won't be easy to calm
the misunderstandings and rumors.

Then we'll have to prove...

that they're misunderstandings
and rumors.

I know my father very well.

He was a man who knew
how to play tricks,

so he always made sure
he had a way out of everything.

I'm sure he added a few things
in the contract...

that gives us justification
and advantage.

I think we'll be able
to find something.

I'll bring it over right now.

A Jun, are you with
Ji Eun right now?

Will you put her on the phone?

Give me a hint.

You didn't say anything
throughout the entire ride,

and you looked so upset.

What's going on?

Your weird hunch was right.

Are you saying
Jung Min is in trouble?

Why are you telling me that now?

Jung Min.

What's going on?

Say hello.

He's Mr. Kim Ho Jin,
an attorney from the legal team.

Hello, I'm Kim Ho Jin.

Are you the one who helps him
come up with strategies?

I'm trying to be that person.

Let's all sit down.

Ms. Lee, take a seat.

There are eyes and ears
at your office,

so I figured it'd be better
to talk here.

You know these photos were taken
to cause a misunderstanding, right?

Yes, I know. Calm down.

I'll give people an explanation.

Everyone knows you and Ms. Lee
used to date.

This is just absurd.

I shouldn't have asked her to cook
seaweed soup for Alley.

It's my fault
for causing all this trouble.

It's not your fault.

It's because my opponents
are playing dirty...

to defame me
before the chairman appointment.

Your aunt is seriously unbelievable.

No wonder they call her
a viper snake.

That's what viper snakes do.
They inject poison...

and wait for their prey to
get paralyzed before they eat them.

She's doing everything she can
to poison you...

so she can tie you down.

And I ended up being that poison.

It was just a figure of speech.

That's not what A Jun meant.

There's no need to be
so pessimistic.

I want both of you to calm down.

Having taken a photo
of you two without permission...

is a violation of portrait rights.

And having spread these photos
along with a false rumor...

is dissemination of
false information and defamation.

We're going to file a lawsuit
regarding all that.

But there's still a problem...

regarding Bisang Textile.

So that means it wasn't my fault.

Will you stay still?

The late chairman wrote down
the reason he invested in Bisang...

in Article Clause 4, Clause 1
of the contract.

Seorin acknowledged...

Bisang Textile's
carbon nanofiber technology.

It's an ultralight fiber...

that also controls
our body temperature.

And Chairman Lee Sang Beom...

received a patent for it in 2000.

And Seorin was given the rights...

to use the patent for 10 years...

when it took over Bisang Apparel.

Let me explain.

But there was a problem.

The patent was only valid
for 20 years,

so it was already past its date.

So I did what
Chairman Seo suggested...

and registered for another patent
by upgrading it...

to carbon nanotube.

But it's still being evaluated,

and we haven't received
an official patent yet.

That's right.

That's what they will raise
an issue with.

They'll say there's no way
Chairman Seo would've...

made an investment on a patent
that didn't even get confirmed yet.

And that will lead them to think...

you played a big role...

in letting Ms. Lee...

receive preferential treatment.

It takes time.

And it's still being evaluated.

Plus, we already got it verified
by professionals.

So receiving a patent
won't be a problem.

The only thing that worries me
is that we haven't made any money...

with that technology yet
because we're a new company.

That means it could get in the way
of your appointment...

as the chairman.

Do you have a counterplan?

I guess I'm not
your only enemy, Jung Min.

Here's what I think.

I think you guys should
keep a distance from Ms. Lee...

until this issue
finally gets settled.

This would've caused a stir
among the board members.

So I agree with you.

I told you.

It's not good to take a step back
when things are not in your favor...

because that will only make you
even more responsible.

As long as there are people
spreading rumors,

rumors will continue to spread
no matter what we do.

We just need to remain
unresponsive to the rumors...

and continue to live our lives
without changing anything.

Sir.

The photos that Chairwoman Seo
sent to everyone...

might turn into
nothing more than gossip.

But as for this issue
regarding Bisang Textile,

it could have a serious effect
on whether or not...

you get appointed as the chairman.

Even Director Hong,
who agreed to support you,

has suddenly started
to ignore our calls.

Then let's go to his house
right now.

And...

I'd like to talk to Ms. Lee alone.

Will you two please excuse us?

Even me?

Don't cry.

You make me want to give you a hug.

I'm ruining everything for you.

I don't care what they say about me,

but if you fail to become
the chairman because of me,

I'll resign from Bisang Textile.

I know it won't be of much help,

but I feel like
it's the only thing I can do.

My gosh.

You dumped me to become the CEO.

So you're obligated to succeed,
Ms. Lee.

My goodness.

You need to stop crying.

Ji Eun, we need to endure this
with a smile.

Lee Ji Eun.

When you truly believe in someone,

you also have to believe in
the impossible.

I'll convince Director Hong...

and resolve all the suspicions
regarding Bisang Textile.

Suspicions are just suspicions.

It's time I ask you
to trust me once again.

Okay? You trust me, right?

Call me after you meet
Director Hong.

I will.

I like the coffee here.

I really admired your work,

so I ran over here
as soon as I said goodbye...

to Director Hong.

He agreed to stand on our side.

Thanks to the photos you sent
to the board members,

I was able to sway Director Hong
and make him hold hands with us.

Where did you get these photos?

My right-hand man, Director Park,
gave them to me.

There was no need to waste time,
so you did the right thing.

But you could've given me a heads up
before you sent out the photos.

I wanted to surprise you.

Here's the contract regarding
our joint holding of voting rights.

From now on, we'll need to decide
everything together.

So I want you to discuss everything
with me down to every little detail.

The photos I took of Ji Eun
and Chairman Chung's son...

was just something to get people
to gossip about them.

The preferential treatment
given to Bisang Textile...

was what really helped us.

I feel like I'm going to have
a really nice dream tonight.

There's going to be an emergency
board meeting tomorrow...

regarding the preferential treatment
that was given to Bisang Textile.

And Jung Min's face
will turn pale...

once the board members
attack him with questions.

It would've been nice
if you could be there as well.

I'll be off now.

Bring me the photos in my drawer.

They're different
from the photos we took.

Who could it be?

This means Jung Min has
a secret enemy.

I'm starting to get
really impatient.

If there's no end to this,
I'd like to go home and sleep.

Aren't you worried?

Sitting there with a frown like you
isn't the only way to worry.

Let's not fight.
I'm not in the mood.

We're not fighting.
We're having a conversation.

I'll be off now.

Which photo do you like best
out of the five?

There are 4 photos, not 5.

Were there only four?

You dropped one over there.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking of
unnecessary things...

because I'm really
sensitive right now.

And I feel like
we're wasting time...

due to a misunderstanding caused by
either one of us.

I'll be off now.

I'm sure I don't need
to drive you home.

A misunderstanding caused by
either one of us?

What are you doing?
Let's go home now.

Well...

Sit down.

I guess you have
something to say to me.

Go ahead.

You see, I did something crazy.

Something crazy? What did you do?

First, promise me
that you won't get angry.

What is it?

I won't get angry. Now tell me.

I wanted to live together with you,

so I bought a house.

My gosh, what makes you think
I'll live with you?

Come on. Let's live together.

I bought your old house.

Will you move in with me?

I'm not saying yes
because of that house.

It's because of
how much you love me.

I know that.

I know what an ambitious
woman you are.

There's no way you'd live with me
just because I bought that house.

You're living with me
because I'm so romantic.

I thought love was over for me.

But I'm receiving
so much love from you.

We learned that we need to accept
each other for who we are...

in order to be happy.

But you see, there's one thing
you need to know.

Here.

(Real Estate Purchase Contract)

(Jang Se Hoon, Kang Jin Sung)

"Jang Se Hoon"?
Is this the Jang Se Hoon I know?

He's living in our old house?

Sit down.

You promised not to get angry.

How can I not get angry?

The fact that
he bought our old house...

shows how much he wanted
to mock us.

How do you expect me to stay still?

That's why he's going to move out.

And he's sick right now,
so calm down.

- Just hold your anger.
- My goodness.

You'll have to move out
after a month.

Are you going to get a new place?

I'm going to wait here
for one more month.

If they still can't find a donor,
I'm going to return to the States.

What are you going to do there
all by yourself?

Why not move in with me?

The organ transplant center
in the States...

already has your name on their list.

So you can go once you get a call.

I'll think about it.
There's still time.

You're a strong person,
so you'll overcome it.

I'm not a strong person.

I'm just used to getting hurt.

And I was merely able
to endure everything.

Mi Ran.

I'm not scared of death.

I'm just scared I might die
without fulfilling my duty.

I've decided to stop
denying my past...

and accept it for how it is.

I've also decided to accept
my current situation.

So I'm going to differentiate
the stuff I can and can't do.

I'm glad to hear that.

You should resign from Seorin first.

I will.

And I'm glad you sold this house.

I should've sold it a long time ago.

No.

I never should've moved into
this place.

You need to take your medicine.

I'll go bring them.

Director Hong said he isn't home,
but it has to be a lie, right?

Of course, it's a lie.

Gosh, he's unbelievable.

I know it's hard to trust people,

but he agreed to hold hands with us
just yesterday.

He's taking things a bit too far...

by refusing to listen
to your explanation.

People easily go back
on their words...

when their situations change.

Seeing that he's not even
checking your text,

it looks like it's going to be
impossible to convince him.

Have you heard of this saying?

"Perfectionists easily collapse..."

"when they are faced
with hardships."

I have a lot of faults and flaws.

And thankfully,
I'm not a perfectionist.

So I won't easily collapse.

I'm not in a very high position
because I'm a salaried employee.

So I'm not afraid of falling.

Thank you, Mr. Kim.

You should go home
and get some sleep.

My goodness.

Let's just wait together
until tomorrow morning.

Let me take care of it.

You need to get ready
for tomorrow's board meeting.

So go home
and get a few hours of sleep.

I guess the best way to help you
is to focus on my job.

Good luck, sir.

I'm guessing you're in your car
all by yourself...

with a lot on your mind.

I don't have a lot on my mind.

But I do want
a hot cup of coffee though.

What are you up to, Ji Eun?

Ji Eun, I'm so touched.

It's the least I can do.

It's not something for you
to deal with on your own.

I don't care if anything bad
happens to me because of you.

How can you be so unconditional
when it comes to me?

Because it's you.

I must've done something
really good in my past life.

I don't know about that.

But I bet you saved me.

This totally feels like a date.

So that calls for some music.

I hope you surprise me again.

When?

I wouldn't know.

Why not?

If I know about it beforehand,
I won't be surprised.

I feel so uneasy leaving you here
all by yourself.

Director Hong will come out
of his house tomorrow morning.

And I want some time
to think things through by myself.

You should get in.

Drive safely.

("Everything about Patent Disputes")

(19 years ago, 2002)

This T-shirt was made with
carbon nanofiber?

Yes. It's the first patent
I applied for,

and I finally got it registered.

Gosh, it took two whole years.

It's a lot longer than that
if you consider how long it took...

to do all that research.

You're so persistent.

I admire you for having won
the competition against yourself.

Ji Eun.

No matter how hard things get,
there's always an ending.

So don't ever give up.

People who fail
aren't the ones who lose.

People who lose
are those who give up.

(Investment Contract)

(Seorin Group acknowledges
Bisang Textile's...)

(carbon nanofiber technology
and will be given the right...)

(to use the patent, which was
first acquired in 2000...)

I got my tonsillectomy in autumn.

It was the autumn of 2002.

That means the patent
was acquired in 2002,

not 2000.

The fact that he invested in
Bisang Textile...

when they hadn't even received
the patent...

proves that you influenced
the late chairman's decision.

Listen, Director Hong.

Didn't you know
the late chairman at all?

He always made sure things
were favorable to Seorin.

The carbon nanofiber technology...

takes a lot less time to produce
compared to graphene synthesis,

which is what we used before.

It helped us reduce our costs...

and enabled Seorin to maximize
our profits.

You should know that
if you're a director.

This is an official meeting.
Please watch what you say.

Everyone, calm down.

Let me give you
a detailed explanation.

We acquired this technology
10 years ago...

as we took over Bisang Apparel.

But back then,
we signed a contract with Bisang...

saying we'll only use it
for 10 years.

And that contract ended as of 2020.

In the midst of all that,
the late chairman told Ms. Lee...

to develop carbon nanotube.

Instead,

he ordered her
to keep Bisang Textile...

as one of our affiliates.

That proves that he wasn't pressured
into doing anything for her.

It shows that the late chairman...

invested in Bisang Textile merely
for the benefit of our company.

It's all stated
in the investment proposal.

But what's the point?
There's nothing we can use.

The patent we had acquired
from Bisang Apparel...

is no longer valid.

And the carbon nanotube
that Ji Eun developed...

is still undergoing evaluation.

He invested in her even when
nothing was confirmed.

That shows he gave her
preferential treatment.

Those photos of you
caused a scandal,

so you have no right
to be laughing right now.

It's just that you talk funny.

Even if what you say is right,

it still doesn't explain
why the late chairman...

invested in her when she hadn't even
registered the patent.

I can't vote for something
that can't be explained.

And therefore,

I refuse to vote for him
as the next chairman.

I'm sure you'll change your mind.

You can't find the answer
if you focus on the question.

But I brought the answer for you.

If you want to find out what it is,
please take your seats.

(Phoenix 2020)

You saved me today, Ji Eun.

You have no idea
how worried I was...

that I might ruin your future.

It's time we show them
how competitive...

our company is.

I have this weird hunch...

that you might end up
ruining his life.

I have a hunch...

that it's you
who will ruin Jung Min.
