(Episode 10)

Hey, Jung Rok.

It's been a while, but here you are in front of the elevator again.

Do you think I've been waiting for you?

You're right. I did wait for you. I waited for about four hours.

What kind of nonsense is that?

I'd wait for Yun Seo, but not you.

My goodness. Hi, Yun Seo...

Hi, Yoon Sook.

They're a couple working at the same company.

I saw them secretly holding hands on the rooftop a couple of times.

I see. No wonder.

Those are the good days. Showing their affection in secret...

and going on short dates on the rooftop. It must be so fun.

If you're so jealous, you should also date someone in our firm.

My goodness. Mr. Yeon, aren't you married?

Jung Rok, it's been a while since I saw you laugh.

It's true that I'm handsome enough to be married by now.

But unfortunately, I'm still single.

In my 30s, I was busy pleading justice...

for the weak.

And in my 40s, I was busy working day and night...

to manage the firm. That's why I'm still single.

I see.

You're really attractive and kind. You should start dating someone.

You should really date someone in the firm.

Like you mentioned, it'd be so thrilling...

and romantic.

Date someone in the firm?

Who?

Good morning.

- Hello. - Good morning.

- Hi. - Come and have some waffles.

Mr. Choi bought them for us.

That's great. I didn't have breakfast.

They look so delicious. I love waffles.

You should sit down and eat.

Take a seat.

Goodness.

Why did you suddenly get waffles?

I just suddenly remembered...

the winter I spent in Canada.

Her heart was frozen like a snowy field,

and what could only warm up my body and soul...

was a plate of waffles covered in maple syrup.

- How are they? - They're delicious.

- Right? - Yes.

- The syrup? - Yes.

It's delicious.

Ms. Oh, what's wrong?

Your eye...

Did something get in it?

- Yes. - Something's in her eye.

- What? - Bring some saline.

- Something's in it. - Get out of my way.

I have some in my office.

- Do you want me to check? - No, it's fine.

You're unbelievable!

How could you suddenly wink at me in front of everyone?

In the elevator,

you said that showing affection in secret...

was both thrilling and romantic. That's why.

Seriously though.

You can't come at me without any warning.

I was surprised, that's all.

- Right. - Gosh.

You know what? I'll make the most of the time I have left.

I won't let any of it go to waste.

I'll do my best to help you.

It's good.

Come to think of it, we haven't had lunch with Ms. Oh before.

That had to be the case...

since restaurants are usually fully packed...

during lunch.

That's right. It's uncomfortable for you.

Was I wrong to ask you to lunch then?

No, it's all right.

I'm fine if we can book a room.

There aren't many side dishes to eat today.

- Let's enjoy though. - They're still delicious.

Right, dig in.

I pushed braised beef in front of you, Ms. Oh.

I know you're fond of meat.

(I know you're fond of meat.)

Would you like some water?

Sure. Thank you.

I placed the stir-fried ham in front of you.

I know you have a childish palate.

Right, I immediately ate one.

Enjoy your lunch then.

- Mr. Kwon. - Yes?

Who are you texting in the middle of lunch?

A client's been texting me.

Even during meals, you can't let go...

of your passion for this job.

You have become my role model.

I have nothing but respect for you.

Don't you agree?

Yes, I admire you too.

Now you're just kissing his butt.

It's all about the balance. During meals, you should just eat.

From what I can see, he's a workaholic.

I know. Sometimes, I worry because he works too much.

What's wrong if he enjoys it?

You truly like your job, don't you?

Yes, oh, I truly like to work.

What did you have to say to me?

The braised beef earlier.

- It was delicious. - What?

Is that what you called me here to say?

In TV shows, couples that secretly date...

get together in the stairwell.

I've always wanted to do that.

If you're free later, would you like to join me for dinner?

As in a date? I'd love that.

Then I'll book us a nice restaurant.

Sure.

Print out the customs application immediately.

Yes, Mr. Kwon. I'll get right on it.

Get on it then. What are you waiting for?

Sure.

You were cutting it close.

You know very well that you shouldn't gamble,

but you even went abroad to do so.

This can sound too brutal,

but this isn't your first offense.

It won't end with a slap on the wrist.

Even I hate the person...

that I've become.

I know very well that what I'm doing is wrong,

but I just can't help myself.

You're right.

Why can't you help yourself?

You must be crazy.

What?

You think I'm crazy?

How could you say such a thing?

I wasn't talking about you, sir.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Kim.

What are you smiling at?

I've been enjoying scuba diving lately...

with friends I met on an app.

I'm looking at the photos I took with them.

You met friends on an app?

Yes.

On this app, you can meet friends...

who share the same interests.

Hold on. Are you interested?

I've been distracted lately,

so I'd like to focus my mind on something else.

Are there people who enjoy the ukulele? I'd love to join them.

Do you even have one?

I have one that I don't use,

so you can buy it from me.

- Sorry? - I'll give you a good deal.

I'll bring it to the office soon.

No, it's all right.

I need to stop getting tangled up with him.

Is it a special day today?

This isn't just any restaurant.

You can't go to crowded restaurants,

so we only ate bad food or from the car.

I wanted to take you out to a decent restaurant.

I see.

You really surprised me earlier though.

As you know, you can be...

quite dry.

I didn't think you'd ever try anything...

so risky in front of people.

You were bolder than I expected you to be.

I didn't know that I had it in me either.

I only did it because you like it.

Also, it's just like you said.

I don't want to waste the little time we have together.

We only have about a month...

to enjoy our secret dating life.

There's nothing there.

When did I eat it all?

I truly have a problem with steaks.

On an enormous plate, they give you a small lump of meat.

Shouldn't the piece be about half its size?

Can't we make a law out of it?

That will probably never happen,

so take this instead.

It's not why I mentioned it.

Honestly, it's fine.

I'm good too.

- Then... - Please stop.

Just have it.

Every day has been a joy for me lately.

Having you by my side is the biggest reason.

When I first started off at the law firm,

I told myself to suck it up and hang in there...

for three months.

But I'm enjoying my work now,

and I even like the company dinners.

The workshop was fun too.

Everything about it is fun and exciting.

Mr. Yeon was right.

You're like Princess Ann in "Roman Holiday".

You leave your frustrating life...

and find joy in what others view as normal.

Have you watched "Roman Holiday"?

I think I saw it on TV when it was aired as a classic.

Are you kidding me?

"Roman Holiday" should be watched properly.

It's my favorite movie.

I have the DVD at home. Would you like to watch it together?

It's Saturday tomorrow. You should come to my house.

Sure.

Hold on. What did I just say?

Wait a second.

Does that mean I'll go over to Ms. Oh's house tomorrow?

Oh my goodness.

I really just wanted to watch a movie with him.

She asked me to come over to watch a movie, so I said yes.

What if she thinks I'm after something else?

I hope he doesn't think that.

In situations like this, I have to act casually.

If not, it might become more awkward.

Then let's watch that movie tomorrow.

- It sounds fun. - Yes.

- I'm looking forward to it. - Me too.

I never imagined watching "Roman Holiday".

You're home. Did you have dinner?

AI robots might replace...

What's up with him?

Does he have some urgent work to do?

On TV...

I can't go empty-handed.

What should I bring?

(Going over to your girlfriend's house)

(Erotic fantasies men have when they visit their girlfriend's house)

That's not true.

I'm just going to watch a movie.

It's just that...

the location is Ms. Oh's house, instead of a movie theater.

My goodness.

Now it's clean enough to make him think that I'm a neat person.

I've never had a boyfriend come to my house before.

I feel so nervous.

Oh, gosh. He must be here.

Who is it?

Hello, it's Jung Rok.

Oh, right.

Well, then... Come on in.

Okay.

Oh, right. This is for you.

- What is it? - It's a gift.

You said you have insomnia.

I heard a glass of wine is helpful for getting good sleep.

Thank you.

I'm looking forward to tonight...

What did you just say?

You look forward to tonight?

I meant, I'm looking forward to getting a good night's sleep.

What if he misunderstood me?

Right. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.

Can I take it off?

Why did you leave out the object?

I meant, "Can I take off my jacket"?

You're an attorney. How could you be so horrible at grammar?

What if she takes it the wrong way?

I meant my jacket. This jacket.

- Yes, sure. - Okay.

Can I put this here?

Okay.

You have a lovely home.

Do you want to take a look around?

- Shall we? - Okay.

This is the study.

This is the space I spend most of my time in at my house.

You have so many books.

Yes, I really enjoy reading.

Someone might think...

this dust piled up because I never read a book, but that's not true.

I read a lot, but I don't clean often.

I clean a lot, but I don't read...

No...

Why don't we take a look around somewhere else?

- This is my bedroom. - I see.

Isn't the dressing table gorgeous?

I really love this bed too.

This type of design seems ordinary, but it's very rare.

The headboard is set just right,

and the mattress is really bouncy too.

Hold on. Why am I explaining my bed in detail to him right now?

What do you mean by saying the mattress is really bouncy?

Are you asking him to lie down next to you or what?

I hope he doesn't interpret it like that.

Wait. Why did you turn off the lights?

Turning off the lights in the bedroom? Get a grip, Jung Rok.

It was a mistake.

Of course, I know.

Then shall we go see the kitchen?

I'll send you a written opinion via email.

If you have an opinion, please send a reply.

Okay.

- Ms. Dan. - Mr. Choi.

What brings you here on the weekend?

I had some work left regarding a case.

What about you?

I had some work left too.

I'm glad. I brought a ukulele I wanted to give you.

I'll bring it to your office later on.

What on earth? Just the two of us in the office on the weekend?

Is this what they call...

fate?

Fate, my foot.

Snap back into it, Moon Hee.

You promised yourself not to be tempted.

Ms. Dan, I brought the ukulele for you.

- Oh, how much is it? - It's fine.

Just buy me a drink sometime.

- A drink? - Yes.

Okay, then. Here you go.

Thank you for everything.

You were a part of me,

and I was a part of you.

You and I became one and made...

all those emotional harmonies.

I'll never forget it.

As a farewell, I will play this song...

that we used to enjoy.

This is the end of my farewell song.

Well then, here you go.

Thank you.

Handle it with great care.

Do you know how to play the ukulele?

I learned briefly a long time ago.

I know how to play basic chords.

C chord.

F... F chord...

Your posture is all wrong.

Here.

Let's see.

Loosen your shoulders.

Then you must hold the ukulele very preciously...

like it's a little baby.

Just like this.

The feelings I started developing for him

I wished that those feelings wouldn't be love

And the pitiful look in your eyes when you looked at me

I wished that I was just mistaken

Our love was only blessed by the skies

And no one else

Please!

Let my love come true!

I just want to love him!

Mr. Choi!

You must watch a lot of movies at home.

Yes, I really like watching movies.

I see.

- Just a second. - Okay.

Yes, Prosecutor.

Yes.

No, next Wednesday isn't a good day for me.

No, that's not it.

Where did it go? I'm sure it was here.

Hey, Hyuk Joon.

I can't find the Blu-ray player. Where did it go?

What? You took it to get it repaired?

You should've told me before you took it.

What? Every time anything broke in your house,

I always took it to get it repaired.

Why are you being so sensitive about it all of a sudden?

My goodness.

Okay, bye.

Are we going to start watching the movie?

Well...

- I can't play it. - What do you mean?

Is it because you're worried that it might not be fun?

It's okay. I don't normally enjoy watching movies,

but since it's your favorite movie, I'm open to watching it.

No, that's not it.

I meant I don't have the Blu-ray player...

to play the movie.

It's getting repaired right now. I must've forgoten about it.

I see.

We'll just have to make do...

We'll just have to make do with a laptop.

I'll quickly download the movie.

I'm fine with that. You can take your time.

Go ahead.

I've been wanting to see your trophies.

Is it okay if I go take a close look?

Sure.

KBC Popularity Award.

MBU Hot Issue Celebrity Award.

TBM Teen Choice Award.

SBC Netizens' Award.

Gosh, you received so many awards.

Yes, I did.

The problem is that they're all popularity awards.

Why is that a problem?

I never got an award for acting. They're all popularity awards,

so it's a little embarrassing.

Why is that embarrassing?

The fact that you're popular means a lot of people like you.

I personally think it's very hard to make people like you.

I'm very impressed.

Really?

But if I get another chance to act,

I feel like I'll be able to do a really good job.

Back then, I didn't really know how it felt to like someone...

or how it felt to have my heart flutter.

So I didn't really know how to express those feelings.

But now...

Now, I think I kind of know.

Which drama is that photo from?

You look really pretty.

This photo isn't from a drama.

This chocolate bar advertisement is how I made my debut.

All the chocolate bars got sold out because of this advertisement,

and people even started calling me "the chocolate fairy".

- You didn't see this advertisement? - No.

My goodness, we shouldn't watch "Roman Holiday".

Come here.

- Hurry. Hurry. - Okay.

Look at this. Don't I look really pretty and cute?

I look pretty here as well, don't I? I also look very innocent and pure.

How pretty.

Don't I look really elegant?

Do you also want to see my photoshoot collection?

- That? Sure. - Would you like to see?

Back then I didn't know, but I really was pretty.

Don't you agree?

Come to think of it, why aren't you responding?

- Don't I look pretty? - You do look pretty.

But you look even prettier now.

Right now, sitting in front of me.

Can I have this?

- This? - Yes.

To be honest, I want all of them, but that doesn't sound right.

But I really want to take this one.

Sure, go ahead.

You know what? I'll give you one more.

- Okay. - There are a lot of nice ones,

so you must choose carefully.

- Is this from that advertisement? - Yes.

I like the smell.

I'm glad you like it.

I feel so bad.

I invited you over so we could watch a movie,

but we didn't get to watch anything.

I'm sorry.

I'm actually relieved that we didn't get to watch a movie.

What?

To be honest, I couldn't sleep a wink...

last night.

I got really nervous.

The thought of coming to your house made me feel unfamiliar,

awkward,

and excited at the same time.

I felt the same way.

The thought of having you over at my house...

made my heart flutter so much.

I already have trouble sleeping because of insomnia.

But last night, I literally stayed up all night.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way.

I also felt the same way.

Anyway, I was really nervous. But I feel a lot better...

after having chatted with you a lot as we looked...

at your photoshoot collection.

Me too.

I also loosened up as we started looking at my photos.

Before that, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact...

that you and I were at my place all by ourselves.

And that made me imagine so many things.

But that doesn't necessarily mean...

that I imagined anything bad.

By bad, do you mean...

Well...

Something like this?

Or...

this?

Hey, Hyuk Joon.

What? You're going to be late? How late?

Oh, okay. Call me when you get here.

Okay, bye.

I had fun with Mr. Kwon last night.

Is this why people get married?

Being with that person is just fun...

no matter what you do.

Lee Gang Joon, the former director...

of Jeguk Entertainment who was arrested on drug charges,

returns as vice president of Jeguk Holdings,

the holding company of Jeguk Group.

The entire group will be reorganized...

as he will supervise various subsidiaries.

Some are criticizing that...

his comeback is premature.

Vice President Lee Gang Joon of Jeguk Group.

He was famously involved in a drug case with an actress.

- Was it Oh Yun Seo? - Oh Yun Seo?

He stalked Oh Yun Seo, but she wouldn't accept his advances.

So he called narcotics to frame her on drug charges.

At the time, Jeguk Group promised...

to take all criticism heavily and Vice President Lee...

Are you off to work?

Where else would I go at this hour?

See you.

Hold on.

Is anything up with Ms. Oh?

I'm just curious, that's all.

How is the universe's goddess doing?

She's fine.

- You should get to work too. - Right.

Yes, Mr. Yeon. I saw the news too.

Lee Gang Joon is back in Korea.

Nothing's out of the ordinary yet.

I doubt Yun Seo knows since she never watches the news.

Yun Seo's on her way out.

I'll call you later. Sure.

All right. What is it?

Whose call did you abruptly end?

What? I did nothing of the sort.

There.

- Yun Seo. - Yes?

What is it?

How are things these days?

Has anyone been lurking around you...

or following you around?

Hold on. Why are you asking me that?

Isn't it obvious?

You're Oh Yun Seo!

You're so beautiful that I'm constantly worried.

Do I look good today as well?

Yes, like always.

- I'll get going then. - Sure.

Bye, Hyuk Joon.

- Have a good day. - You too.

Yes, Mr. Kwon. Good morning.

The ruling? Hold on a second.

Let me see.

Sure. Where should I send it?

I'm in the parking lot, so I'll send it once I get up there.

Don't worry.

I'll see you soon.

How are things these days?

Has anyone been lurking around you...

or following you around?

How are things these days?

Has anyone been lurking around you...

or following you around?

Excuse me.

Who are you...

and why are you following me?

- Well, your pen... - You're a fan?

You're mistaken, sir. I'm not a celebrity.

I'm just a normal girl who's exceptionally pretty.

Hold on a second.

Why do you keep following me?

I already told you that I'm not a celebrity!

Wait. That's not it!

Unbelievable.

Hi, honey. Yes, I'm at Jung Rok's law firm.

Jung Rok?

He's not answering his phone.

I'm almost at the office, so I'll tell him face to face.

Sure.

How can I help you?

I'm here to see Attorney Kwon Jung Rok.

Tell him that Kwon Jae Bok is here.

You must be Mr. Kwon's father.

How did you know that instantly?

I just got a vibe.

Anyway, his office is right down the hall.

- Let me show you... - No, it's all right.

I can find my own way.

The ruling is now sent.

I can't believe you followed me in here!

I'm not Oh Yun Seo...

All right, fine. I am Oh Yun Seo.

Are you happy now?

- What? - You said you were a fan.

Are you happy now that you caused me trouble?

How did you know that I work here?

Just how much about me do you know?

Look here, miss. I think there's been a misunderstanding.

I'm not a fan of yours.

I just wanted to return the pen that you dropped.

- Sorry? - Also,

I didn't follow you here. I'm here to see my son.

What do you mean you're here to see your son?

Isn't this Kwon Jung Rok's office?

- It is. - See?

I'm here to see Jung Rok, my son.

So Mr. Kwon is your...

Sir!

Hello, sir!

Father?

Unbelievable.

How could I treat his father that way?

What brings you by?

Why not wear something warmer?

Your neck's all exposed.

You'll catch a cold at that rate.

I'm making sure that I stay healthy just fine.

Call your mom often as well.

That's something I've been working on.

Seriously?

Can't you just say "yes" for once?

You always need to have the final say.

The more I think of it, the more annoyed I am.

How can she think that I followed her up here?

I'm worried to see that you have such...

an irresponsible secretary.

All people make mistakes.

Was this done by that secretary of yours?

Is this a coloring book?

Instead of coloring the boxes,

she should spend that time doing more work.

She does what needs to be done around here.

Her attitude says otherwise.

Someone serious about their work wouldn't dress like that.

You're being biased if that's what you're judging her on.

- Still, I can already tell how... - Dad.

Tell me why you're here.

Does there have to be a reason for a dad to come to see his son?

This is my workplace.

You came all the way here to see me during working hours,

so I thought it was because of something urgent.

Fine then.

I'm sorry to disturb you during your working hour.

I'll go take care of my work too then.

Sir, I prepared coffee... Have a good day.

Why did your dad just leave?

He didn't even drink coffee.

Did you two have a fight?

Is it because of me?

It's not that. Don't mind it.

It doesn't seem so to me.

He got upset because of me, right?

My dad and I aren't compatible, so we clash every time we meet.

It's nothing to be proud of.

So there's no need for you to be worried about it.

We have all the documentary evidence, so let's indict him.

It's finally time to indict him.

Shall we go out for lunch now?

That sounds good. Let's go eat something tasty.

Since you all worked hard, let's go and eat something nice.

- How about beef? - Beef?

- Sure. - This is Mr. Kim's office.

Yes, sir.

What?

What's making you hesitate so much?

I wonder what kind of shocking story it is.

Alright, I'll be honest with you and cut to the chase.

The Jung Ji Ho case. Wrap it up quickly.

I want to wrap it up more than anyone else.

So I'm starting to make progress bit by bit.

I looked over the case too,

and all Jung Ji Ho did was gamble abroad illegally.

There isn't enough evidence to prove...

he embezzled the slush funds.

The circumstances point out this was the vice president's own doing.

Is what you're saying the truth...

or do we have to make it look that way?

Is...

the district attorney behind this?

What?

Attorney Choi Yoon Su who is in charge of this case...

is the district attorney's brother-in-law.

What does that have to do with this?

Just conclude that the embezzlement was due to the vice president's...

Sir!

Sir.

Don't you remember what you told me when you brought me back?

You said Jung Ji Ho's embezzlement case would be difficult...

to investigate if it weren't for a nutcase like me.

I know what you mean.

I have no excuse whatsoever. But...

this seems more complicated than I expected.

You went through a lot of trouble to return to work.

I'm just afraid this might threaten your position too.

Okay?

Mr. Kwon.

Did you call your dad?

Did he go home safely?

I'm just worried he didn't get to say what he came here to say...

because of me.

I don't think so. There was no particular reason he came here.

You're wrong. I remember...

him saying that he came to say something to you.

What?

- I have to take this call. - Okay, then.

Yes, Mom. I was about to...

What? What happened to Dad?

Your dad...

revealed that the deputy mayor embezzled 2.7 million dollars,

and he was suspended for three months...

for violating the Government Officials Act.

He didn't tell you anything?

He said he'd visit you to discuss that matter.

(Deputy Mayor Kim Jun Cheol should withdraw his unfair suspension!)

I'm here.

What are you here for? How did you know?

Mom told me.

Your mom got nosy again.

You must be busy, so get going.

Let's go somewhere for a cup of coffee.

Do you think I'm in a state to have coffee?

You should at least protest after warming up your body.

That punk.

There's no need to sigh.

I'm actually glad that I was suspended.

- What do you mean? - Even though I exposed the truth,

nothing changed.

Everyone was trying to cover this issue up.

But I was eventually suspended for three months,

and thanks to that, I have a reason to justify my protest.

Perhaps...

this may be a chance to let the world know about this matter.

Did you request an appeal?

When is the hearing?

Tomorrow.

What if your suspension is finalized?

I'll file a lawsuit in order to withdraw it.

Is that why you came by to the law firm earlier today?

To ask me to defend you in case you go to trial?

Why didn't you tell me that from the beginning?

Did you even give me a chance to ask you?

Still, you shouldn't have left like that.

You always have a knack for making me a bad son.

So that's what happened.

He must've been so upset,

and I can't believe I made a mistake like that.

Don't worry about it. It won't be a problem.

Even if he gets suspended, we can just file a lawsuit.

I'll try my best to set things straight,

so you don't have to be worried.

I'm telling you, it's fine.

It's not just that.

I'm just worried that I might have...

offended your father.

If he finds out you're dating a celebrity with a complicated past,

he'll be worried sick.

I totally ruined making a good first impression.

There's no reason to be upset.

Once people know what kind of person you are,

there's no reason why anyone wouldn't like you.

There's a good reason you won all those broadcasting awards.

Then will your father go to the hearing alone tomorrow?

Yes.

He'll make a personal statement...

and listen to the details regarding his suspension.

There's no reason for me to tag along tomorrow.

I see.

Your father might feel nervous if he goes alone.

What? You want me to go to the hearing with him?

No matter how much I think about it,

your father will be too nervous if he goes alone.

So, as his son and his attorney, you should...

accompany him.

I canceled all your morning appointments,

so you should go.

I appreciate the gesture, but you don't seem to know him well.

He's not someone to get nervous over something like this.

He's much stronger than me, mentally.

That's what you think.

No matter how strong he is, everything must be new to him now.

He might feel more nervous than usual,

and he might need someone he can depend on.

Please just go for me.

Come on.

It just makes me so uneasy...

thinking that you two might have been hurt because of me.

So please just go, for my sake.

Okay, well...

Alright then, shall we?

Here. Take this with you.

It's a sedative.

I know it's a bit old-fashioned and doesn't suit my image,

but there's nothing better than this when you need to calm your nerves.

Okay, then. I'll see you later.

It's time for you to go. Go on.

Hey, Dad.

Why did you come?

My schedule got canceled, so I thought I'd drop by.

You must have a lot more free time than I thought.

The written opinion and materials for explanation are all ready.

So I'm sure there won't be a problem.

If you get disciplined, and this ends up turning into a lawsuit,

I'll make sure we win the case no matter what.

So don't worry too much.

I'm not worried.

I know you'll do well.

I have a sedative. Do you want it?

I'll take it if you have it.

The hearing should be over by now.

Hey, Mr. Kwon. How did it go?

He got suspended for three months.

I think we'll have to start getting ready to file a lawsuit.

And you were right.

I think it was a good idea to stay with my dad today.

The sedative you gave me also helped a lot.

Thank you for being so considerate.

No, don't mention it.

You should console your dad.

Don't be so grumpy to him.

Buy him something delicious for lunch so he can feel better.

Oh, by the way,

it'd be nice if you could lightly mention...

that I was the one who gave him the sedative.

Okay, I'll do that.

(Notification of trial date)

(Background investigation on suspect)

I just met the chief prosecutor.

Did he tell you to convince me to stop?

Let me save your time. Don't try to convince me.

What if you get on his bad side?

You only recently came back. If you do this, you might...

I just told you not to convince me.

Don't try to call it even with this.

You should repay me properly.

Don't worry. I'm not that unconscientious.

But what's with the long face?

Is there something wrong?

Yeo Reum.

Can you give me a hug?

What are you saying?

I mean...

I would appreciate it...

if you...

consoled me right now.

(1. Relationship, 2. Progress)

Here you go. It's your favorite, instant coffee.

Thank you.

Is everything going well with preparing for the lawsuit?

Yes.

At first, I thought my dad was causing too much of a fuss.

But as I did my research, I could start to understand him.

It might be a hassle, and people might think you're overreacting,

but it's only right to fix what's wrong.

You're right. I also think your dad is amazing.

It wouldn't have been easy for him to disclose everything.

I really respect his sense of justice.

That's why you should be nicer...

to your amazing dad.

And you could also let him know that I told you...

to be nicer to your dad...

if you ever get the chance to tell him.

Are you that worried...

that my dad might not like you?

Yes, of course. It's only natural that I'm worried.

Okay, I'll make sure I tell him.

This public official is not only my father but also my client.

For over 30 years,

he has never once been disciplined.

However, right before he was about to retire,

he got suspended for three months...

just because he accused his boss...

for illegally having received 2.7 million dollars.

Your Honor.

The charter of government officials state that government officials...

should put the public interest as their top priority,

and that they should do their best to keep things fair and transparent.

Article 15 of the Act on the Protection...

of Public Interest Whistleblowers states...

that no person shall implement any disadvantageous measures...

against the whistleblower for having disclosed the truth.

I hope you, Your Honor, will make...

a wise judgment...

and show us what true justice really means.

That is all.

- Thank you. - Don't mention it.

Just a second.

Mr. Kwon, you were really amazing today.

I'm sure your dad was also very proud of you.

I'll head back to the office.

Take your father out to a decent meal.

We should grab a bite to eat.

Sure thing.

My secretary will come with us.

Is that all right?

What is this? Why did he invite me to lunch too?

Anyway, this is my last chance to get on his good side.

Right?

I made a good choice by wearing black today.

Should my lips be less pink?

Today, you must be careful and cautious.

Be careful and cautious.

No, that's not it.

I learned this time that...

we must get to the root of problems with public officials.

Nothing can be solved by only punishing subordinates.

The current system...

is just like an empty shell.

You're right.

Just like this meaningless garnish,

the current punishment system has no substance.

It goes round and round in a vicious circle...

and comes to hurt me as well.

I'm sorry for talking about such a boring subject.

No, it's all right. I find it entertaining.

You can be honest and say it's boring.

I am, and I'm having fun.

There's something that...

Ms. Oh wanted me to tell you in secret.

She wanted me to be by your side,

so she canceled all of my morning meetings.

She handed me a sedative to give to you.

She said she respected your sense of justice...

and advised me to be a better son to you.

Ms. Oh did all of that.

Mr. Kwon...

That's how sweet and considerate she is.

It's why I like her a lot.

I hope you like her too...

since she's my girlfriend.

Is it that shocking?

Of course.

It's not like you to confess your love in front of me.

How do you expect me to react?

You're right.

- Even I'm flustered. - Right?

It's not just me, is it?

Of course not. You know...

how your son is. He's never like this.

That's exactly what I mean.

Was it Ms. Oh Jin Sim?

Yes, sir.

He must really like you...

to act in a way that he never has.

My son will lack in a lot of areas,

so please be patient with him.

Oh, please.

He's closer to being perfect.

He's your darling son.

I'll do my best to make him happy,

so don't worry.

Father, let's eat.

Yes, let's.

You truly startled me.

I had no idea you'd tell your father that.

Were you embarrassed?

Embarrassed? Actually, I was touched.

I'm the one who was touched.

Thank you for caring about me and my father.

We're two people who have a lot of pride.

After a disagreement, we don't call each other for months.

My mom had to suffer because of it.

Thanks to you though, we were able to bury the hatchet easily.

I'm sure my dad was grateful too.

Really?

You know, I'm super glad that...

we're co-workers who date.

I felt that even more this time.

I ran into your father because we work together...

and was able to patch things up between you two.

I was also able to get his approval too.

I love everything about it.

Ms. Oh Jin Sim.

What's this?

They're gorgeous!

- Why though... - It's a gift.

A gift?

Is it because I helped you and your dad?

Not exactly. I just wanted to buy you something.

It's pretty.

The necklace?

No, both.

You and the necklace.

I see you really like them.

I do. They're absolutely stunning.

Thank you so much.

I'm glad that you like them so much, Ms. Oh Jin Sim.

I've been curious about something though.

Why do you keep calling me Oh Jin Sim?

I told you many times that it's Oh Yun Seo.

At first, I figured that Oh Yun Seo...

was only a stage name.

You were here to work,

so I thought you should use your real name.

I think I was right to call you that though.

- What? - I'm the only one who...

calls you Oh Jin Sim.

Okay. If that's the reason, then I approve.

You're the only one who calls me by that name.

Whenever I hear anyone call me Oh Jin Sim,

I'll know instantly that it's you.

I think that black car behind us...

has been following us around.

Could I be wrong?

What's going on?

Is it really following us?

Are you all right?

Please stay in the car.

What is this?
