[Episode 7]

You recognize it.

It's the brand I use.

I only use their products.

So does my favorite band's vocalist.

Su Jeong?

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, Ji Wu, but...

[Director Ban Ju Yeon]

I'm sorry. Just one second.

Yes.

Pardon?

I'm at the department store now. Why-

Hello?

What?

Is something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Shall we go, then?

Sure.

How's this?

It's simple. I think it'd suit you.

That's nice. I like it.

The size is...

Just one moment.

Sure.

Excuse me.

Director.

You can't be here looking like that.

You've tried so hard to hide that.

I know.

I know this is crazy, too, but-

- But why are you here- - I remember everything.

That was...

my first kiss.

Gosh, why won't it open?

Gosh.

How strange.

What do we do?

What's wrong?

The door won't open.

No one went in.

Stay here.

My gosh!

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were in there.

Su Jeong, why were you in there...

I was checking to see if I wore my shirt inside out.

I must've startled you since I didn't answer.

How about your size? Did you find any?

- Well, no. - Right.

Only my size was missing.

We can try something else, then.

That. That one. I love that one.

That gray one. The gray one. The gray one.

How's the gray one? It's so pretty.

Do you have his size?

Would you be able to check?

- Well, yes. Just one moment. - O-Okay.

White clothes get ruined easily.

This one has a nice pattern.

Could you check this side?

I'll check over there.

This is pretty. That one is, too.

Thank you for shopping with me, Su Jeong.

When would you be free next time?

Well...

I don't think I could see you next time.

Team Leader Baek Su Jeong.

There's urgent work to do. What are you doing here?

Pardon?

There's no time to waste. Follow me.

Wait, Director...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You can get going.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

So,

enjoy it all you want.

You can't just act like this.

I was put in a tough spot.

I already felt bad for him.

I don't feel bad for that man.

- What? - By the way,

I'm sorry I didn't remember the kiss.

I apologize for that.

You're apologizing now?

Well, fine. I'll accept it.

I decided to think it never happened, anyway.

Never happened?

Wouldn't it be easier for both of us going forward?

I think you're mistaken.

I only apologized for not remembering.

I'm not sorry I kissed you. That was...

not a mistake.

Well...

if it wasn't a mistake...

It wasn't a mistake.

It's not like I did it for no reason.

[Jin unni]

Um...

I just remembered I'm meeting someone.

I-I'll talk to you later.

Wait...

Is she shy?

I can see that.

She's shyer than I thought.

Are you all burning up from the date?

Unni!

I was asking if your heart was feeling the passion.

What are you thinking?

So? Will you keep seeing him?

No. I turned him down.

What? Why?

I thought he seemed all right.

You didn't like him this time?

He seemed all right this time, too.

That's what I'm saying.

He's the type you wanted.

He's older, has a stable job,

and has a down-to-earth taste and personality.

Yeah.

I don't like younger men,

and I hate men with strange tastes, too.

So, what's the issue?

Do you...

have someone else in mind, by chance?

A highball, please.

Okay.

Coming.

No.

I like that guy?

There's no way.

I was wearing this.

Is that why she found me more attractive?

How could I forget such a precious memory?

Don't...

Don't ever go anywhere near makgeolli, Ban Ju Yeon.

[Music for sleeping]

It wasn't a mistake.

It's not like I did it for no reason.

What now, then?

Does he want to go out or something?

He's the same age as Su Bin. The same age.

[Director Ban Ju Yeon]

[He Kisses for 6,000 Won]

I'm not like this guy.

What's he talking about?

He's so funny.

Please believe me.

What's he saying?

What's this?

Gosh, I don't know!

You said, "Talk to you later."

When is "later," exactly?

[Team Leader Baek Su Jeong]

It's too formal.

Still... [Ban Ju Yeon / Baek Su Jeong]

we kissed once.

[Friend info]

[Friend info: Ms. Baek Su Jeong]

[Friend info: Su Jeong]

Sometimes you have to wait.

I'll see her tomorrow.

Let's not be hasty.

Su Jeong.

I heard your friend rejected that man.

Yes. How did you know?

Hey, his mom is apparently crying about it

saying the woman must be snobby.

Geez! I told you to go on a date instead.

Not many men are okay with a flawed woman.

Hold on.

Am I the flawed woman?

That's right. Why did you have to get divorced?

Why is getting divorced a flaw?

I mean, you couldn't control your temper

and destroyed a perfectly good family.

You can't do that in the right mind.

That's how bad it was for me.

Anyway, I'm fine hearing that

but don't say that to anyone else.

If you say getting divorced is a flaw,

someone is bound to hate you for it.

I'm not the only one who says that.

Everyone thinks you're flawed.

- A lot of people don't. - Aigoo...

It's just you. Just you.

I'm serious. There's someone else.

Is it a man?

Seriously.

You can't stop thinking about men, can you?

Let me meet him if it's a man.

Why? Will you date him?

Aigoo, aigoo, you little.

You're a little brat, aren't you?

Dad, Mom wants to date other men.

Hey, Seo Ha Jin,

don't tease your mom.

It's because she worries about you.

Aigoo, poor me for being single.

Are you looking for someone?

I assure you I'm not.

Let's go up. We have lots of important things to do.

Seok Hui,

why would you do this yourself?

Because it's my job.

I know, but give them to me.

- I'll carry them. - I'm okay.

No.

Well...

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Team Leader, aren't you getting in?

- Team Leader Baek- - Deputy Jeong.

Yes.

Are Ludwig, Frid, Heinrich, Carlos, and Barbarossa doing well?

How do you know my dogs' names?

Even my parents don't know.

Of course I do.

I heard you rescued them.

I've always admired your kindness.

I'm so touched.

What the heck?

Na Na, eat this.

- I'll eat out. - What?

Why does she keep avoiding me?

[I am the devil]

[Pros / Cons]

[Pros: None / Cons: Too young, bad style...]

[Pros: None / Cons: Dragon tattoo...]

It's all stuff like this?

[A lightweight (terrible memory), music hurts ears...]

[No. 1 Hardware]

Gosh, I'm dying.

Yongsung Department Store put forward Director Ban,

the grandson of Chairwoman Jung Hyo Seon,

to work on a major renewal project.

Director Ban has been avoiding exposure,

however, he officially made his existence known.

Many predict it as a preliminary step to set him up

as the successor.

- As the succession becomes clear... - Wow, he was...

an impressive man.

Team Leader, the promotional article is up.

I'll send you the link.

Okay. I'll check it right away.

I guess the PR Team added Director Ban's story, too.

And the public reaction is explosive right now.

Looks like he's officially the successor.

This is daebak.

We live in different worlds. Seriously.

[Yongsung = Silver spoon]

[I'm jealous of the Yongsung employees]

I know.

How did I forget about this?

I had no reason to ponder.

[I am the devil]

[Trash]

I have no reason to avoid him. Why am I doing this?

I know.

It's not like you can keep doing this.

We were supposed to talk. Why keep avoiding me?

You're friendly to everyone else.

What did you want to talk about?

I told you.

I don't think our kiss was a mistake.

I won't pretend it never happened, so...

- unless you dislike me and avoid- - Director,

I think you forgot. We're at work.

You're the director.

Not just any director but Yongsung's successor.

And I'm your subordinate.

You don't want to just let it slide?

What will you do, then?

Will you hold my hand?

Can you hold my hand and go outside?

Can you stand...

in front of people and the Chairwoman?

I don't want to, either.

I'm not interested in getting fired.

So...

we have nothing to talk about.

We don't need to.

I...

♫ In the end of the faint moments ♫

♫ You're becoming more prominent ♫

Let's just say you understood what I said.

♫ As much as I've waited ♫

♫ We needed each other ♫

♫ I'll say it tonight ♫

♫ I hope you'd be my miracle ♫

Did you forget I confessed my feelings to you?

Oh, that?

Did you forget I said no?

If that's why you come here,

I find it uncomfortable.

I thought you went home.

I'm a bit out of it right now.

Get in. Get in.

Yes.

What? Se Won is getting married?

Our classmate?

Yes, feels like it was yesterday

she chased you in 12th grade.

I suppose she wasn't the only one.

She wants to give us the invitation in person.

Okay.

Right, did you leave work?

Should we grab a drink if you're free?

Deal. Sounds good.

Should we meet at Sulo again?

Let's go somewhere else.

I'll stop going there.

Why? Their food was good.

Because I can't make her feel uncomfortable.

What did you say?

Huh? I think I went there too many times.

I won't go back there ever again.

[Sulo]

What am I doing here?

I thought I was on my way home.

♫ Everything's been said and done ♫

Here you go.

♫ And all you ever hear ♫

♫ Is just an echo inside a shadow ♫

♫ I know there's nothing I can say that you haven't heard ♫

♫ Although I'm sure to tell you ♫

♫ Darling, don't you worry ♫

♫ Don't shy away from the darkness ♫

♫ Let the covers keep you warm ♫

♫ We can brave the storm ♫

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say.

You were mentioned in the last board meeting

and everyone reacted positively.

They seemed excited about the renewal project, too.

That's good to hear.

Since you were introduced officially,

people seem to treat you very differently.

Since I have a bigger responsibility,

I should work harder.

You're the director.

Not just any director, but Yongsung's successor.

And I'm your subordinate.

So...

we have nothing to talk about.

We don't need to.

She looked pretty even at that moment.

Baek Su Jeong.

I saw the article.

That was a nice photo. When did you take it?

Do you have anything carbonated? Or coffee?

I don't. Drink this.

Yes.

I should drink cold water and wake up.

What's going on out of the blue?

I just wanted to congratulate you.

By the way, do I need a reason to visit you?

Don't you think so?

To be honest,

I felt like I had to go somewhere.

Or I would've gone back there again.

Ju Yeon,

do you know why General Kim Yu Sin

beheaded his horse?

You mean General Kim Yu Sin

who was born in 595 AD Silla?

He's admirable as a general, but

he blamed his weak willpower on an innocent animal.

- Why? - Huh?

Yes.

Yes, you're right.

But I can understand how he felt.

It's not like I can tie myself up.

My head says I shouldn't

but I keep missing her.

Is that why?

My body keeps going to her.

Gosh, I need to get it together.

One's heart always

acts before one's head.

Is that what it means to like someone sincerely

sincerely that I can't give up?

[Yongsung Department Store]

Good morning.

Well, yes.

Yes, we'll meet again for lunch tomorrow.

It's a treat for me.

Do you know Baekyonggak?

I heard there's a reservation there.

I know.

I admire the effort.

But I'll pay for the meal.

Yeah...

all right.

Who are you meeting?

Could it be the man I saw at the department store?

It's personal.

I don't think I need to answer, Director.

we'll meet again for lunch tomorrow.

Do you know Baekyonggak?

I heard there's a reservation there.

I thought I should do that.

- Is he crazy? - It could be a surprise.

Gosh, what do I do?

Who's that man now?

Stop!

That's enough.

Director.

What are you doing here?

Father?

Su Bin's girlfriend?

Didn't you say you met her once?

Yes, we'll meet again for lunch tomorrow.

It's a treat for me.

Lunch? Where?

Do you know Baekyonggak?

I heard there's a reservation there.

That's a famous restaurant.

But they're not even married.

Why would she treat you guys?

I know.

I admire the effort.

But I'll pay for the meal.

You're the one who paid Dad's hospital bill.

That director?

Hello, I'm Baek Su Bin, the eldest son.

But what brings you here, Director?

I'm meeting someone here, too.

I happened to run into you here.

I see.

We'll let you go, then.

But they canceled on me just now.

Do you mind if I join you?

Well, we're having a family meal.

Yongsung is one family.

Wouldn't it be okay?

Team Leader Baek achieved something great recently.

I've been meaning to treat her to a meal.

Our Su Jeong did?

Su Bin's girlfriend is coming.

Gosh. It's okay. It's okay.

She's a social butterfly.

She's not shy.

Why don't we have a seat?

I'll tell you what she did, where and when

in great detail.

Sounds good. Have a seat. Yes.

Thanks to Team Leader Baek,

we were able to convince CEO An.

That's how tenacious she is.

I don't know who she got that from.

She must've gotten that from her amazing father.

You really have a good eye for people.

I tend to be that way.

I knew it.

What do we do?

Ye Na can't come because of an emergency dispatch.

Really? We can't help it, then.

His girlfriend is a police officer.

She feels terrible.

She congratulates you again for removing the cast.

She wants to treat us next time.

Tell her I appreciate the gesture alone.

Then, I can treat you to this meal today.

Have plenty to eat.

Who said you could-

Excuse me!

Please bring us the menu.

Thank you for the meal.

Excuse me, Mr. Ban.

I wasn't sure, but

you're interested in my sister, right?

My dad told me

that you're Yongsung's successor.

You're an impressive person. Why my sister?

I don't know how you think of her,

but she's very precious to us.

She went through and sacrificed a lot.

When I was being looked down on,

she used to play a video game in my place.

So, if you're doing this lightly to play around,

I won't let you get away with it.

You don't have to worry about that.

I'm not doing this lightly.

Chairwoman, I finished what you asked me to do.

- Already? - Yes.

You sure are quick and thorough.

This is why

I also asked you to clean Director Ban's house.

You're doing a good job there, too, right?

It's all good, but he said not to enter the study.

He said he doesn't need it cleaned.

The study?

What's he keeping in there?

I'm not sure,

but it looked like there was a CCTV, too.

All right. You can go now.

[Chief Kwon In Gyeong]

You wanted to see me, Chairwoman.

You can go ahead inside.

As soon as we're done here,

let's go to Director Ban's house.

What is it all of a sudden?

I need to check his study.

He doesn't let anyone in there.

I'm curious what important stuff he has there.

I'll let Director Ban know.

No.

That's not necessary.

Where are your father and brother?

I let them go because I wanted to say something.

What are you thinking, exactly?

Why did you come here for?

I thought we finished talking last time.

I thought you understood.

It's because I was scared.

While I was acting foolishly,

if you came to like someone else,

what would I do?

I don't like that.

Understanding doesn't mean

I no longer have feelings.

Yes, Chief.

As soon as the event ends,

the Chairwoman will visit your house.

She's coming to my house?

Yes. We'll be leaving in two hours.

She seems to think

there's something in your study.

I need to go home immediately.

What's going on?

What's wrong with her coming to your place?

The study.

She found out there's...

Calm down for a moment.

Grandmother, please. Grandmother...

Forgive me just once, Grandmother.

Don't do that, Grandmother.

Grandmother! Grandmother!

Everything could burn and disappear.

The things I treasure.

- Move. - And if you went like this?

Do you have a plan?

Let's buy time for now.

[2024 Future Energy Industry Expo]

Chairwoman.

Hello.

You remember me, right? I'm Sin Won.

Kim Sin Won.

Yes.

Long time no see.

I heard you're still close with Director Ban.

Yes, of course.

We're basically like brothers.

Since he's working at the department store,

we're able to hang out more often.

Is that so?

By the way, you haven't changed at all.

Does the passage of time not apply to you?

The PR Team at the HQ needs to work harder.

Your photos don't do justice.

You look so young and beautiful.

You're still good at schmoozing.

Thank you.

By the way, what brings you here?

Oh, well, I-I was just in the area.

Have you eaten, Chairwoman?

If you haven't, would you like to join me?

When would I ever get to

have the honor of having a meal with you again?

Yes.

I'm sorry,

but I need to get going. I'm busy.

Chairwoman.

How about a t-tea for a moment, then?

Stop taking more of my time.

T-Take care.

[Bbanjju]

Yes, I did try to stall her

but I think eating with her is pushing it.

What's going on, exactly?

If you leave your truck here,

how about the other cars?

Restroom?

I'll call the police if you don't come now.

A lot of time has passed.

Should I postpone the visit to the Director's house?

It's okay.

It'd just take a moment, anyway.

You have another appointment afterward, too.

Why are we still talking?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry.

I think a car could easily pass through here.

How weird.

What do you mean, parked in the middle of the road?

Did I?

But I guess you can't...

you can't just go like this.

Whatever. Move your truck now.

Okay, okay.

I feel so terrible, by the way.

Should I cut some sashimi for you?

I have a ton of fish straight from Jeju-

Look! Stop talking nonsense and move the truck!

I guess you don't want it.

I got it! Okay.

Yes, Su Jeong.

I did my best, but...

So, why are you trying to stop the Chairwoman?

You'll tell me later?

Huh? Okay.

Hello? Hello...

What?

I can't believe I ran into you here.

I know. What brings you here?

Su Jeong asked me a favor.

Huh? Ju Yeon asked me a favor.

Really?

I thought they weren't close anymore.

Was I wrong?

Anyway, good to see you.

I'll get going now.

Okay.

- Drive safely. - Okay.

If she was so happy to see me,

she should've gotten out briefly.

What are you doing? Load the rest of the stuff.

Yes, I should.

We're at the parking lot.

They're in front of the building now.

Already?

We moved the important stuff, right?

What should we do with the rest?

If we blocked the door to this room-

She's already suspicious.

She won't just go back.

What should we do, then?

I came to see how you live.

I guess you were about to leave.

Yes.

I'd like to invite you next time if that's okay-

No need to be invited to check out your place.

Why?

Is there a reason I shouldn't go into your place?

No.

Let's go up together if it's not anything urgent.

Take me to the study.

Okay.

It looks normal.

I'm curious why you don't let her clean this room.

Are you...

hiding something in here?

Huh?

I'm sorry.

I'll leave first.

You don't want to leave now and run into her.

Stay here.

I thought you were doing something silly again.

Were you trying to hide this?

I know you wouldn't be happy

if you knew I had that photo.

I don't have the right to

cry or feel sad.

Yes.

So, why did you keep it if you knew that?

I know...

I don't have the right,

but I wanted to keep a photo, at least.

Because I miss them so much.

You think you have the right to miss them?

If it wasn't for you,

my son would still be here.

Not this stupid photo,

but my actual son!

Weak bastard.

Keep a closer eye on him from now on.

Should I have someone watch him?

I'm having you watch him.

Who else do we need?

Yes, I'll watch him more closely.

Be careful. You'll hurt yourself.

You know my parents died in a car accident, right?

We were on the way to an anime event.

They were both busy,

but I begged them because I wanted to go.

That's when we got into an accident on the way.

Thanks to their protection, I survived.

But they died in an accident

they shouldn't have been in because of me.

Grandmother indeed lost her only son because of me.

So, I decided to make it up for her.

To become the person she wants and replace Father.

Director.

But even after that,

I still couldn't give up on my joy.

The next volume of my favorite cartoon,

and the band's new song and show.

I needed things like that

to look forward to tomorrow.

Even though no one loved me, I felt fulfilled.

That's why...

when you told me to like the things I like

all I want in front of the fountain,

I was really happy.

I meant it.

You looked...

really happy, then.

I wanted you to continue to be happy.

I like you.

I've hidden things I liked for a long time.

Because everything I liked was a secret.

That's why I couldn't tell you, but...

But I like you so much, Baek Su Jeong.

I'm sorry I couldn't hold it in.

Thank you for today.

There's my daughter.

Yes, Dad. You were home.

What are you talking about?

You asked me to receive packages.

People came to deliver them and left.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

Are you sick?

You were meeting someone. You look terrible.

No, I'm not sick.

I asked them to put the packages in the attic.

Why was there so much stuff?

Someone I know asked me to keep them briefly.

They'll take them back soon.

We don't use that space, anyway.

I don't mind keeping them there for a long time, but

you're sure you're okay, right?

Of course. Why would I not be okay?

Su Jeong.

Yes?

You know...

seeing you smile like that breaks my heart.

Because I'm not good enough,

and because you can't rely on me...

Since you can't tell me when something's going on,

I wonder if all you do is smile like that.

So...

Dad,

please don't worry. Nothing's going on.

I'm just tired because I've been out a while.

Okay, then. Go inside and rest.

You go in, too.

Okay.

You've been smiling a lot.

You don't usually smile.

How can I make you feel better?

Isn't working alone hard?

It's lonely, too.

I've hidden things I liked for a long time.

Because everything I liked was a secret.

That's why I couldn't tell you, but...

But I like you so much, Baek Su Jeong.

♫ Love is just like miracle ♫

♫ It seems close to grasp, but I can't ♫

♫ Even if our hearts touch each other's ♫

I know this is crazy, too, but

I remember everything.

That was...

my first kiss.

♫ The beautiful moments that passed by ♫

♫ Can't be grasped like it was a dream ♫

♫ We thought we were meant to be together ♫

♫ meant to be together ♫

♫ As much as I thought of you ♫

The phone is powered off.

You'll be connected to the voicemail...

♫ I'll say it tonight ♫

I like you.

♫ Even if moments I hoped for come ♫

♫ We're not each other's miracle ♫

Director.

Director, are you in there?

I want to ask you something.

♫ In the end of the faint moments ♫

♫ You're becoming more prominent ♫

♫ We'll meet each other again someday ♫

♫ I'll be hoping for that ♫

♫ As much as I've waited ♫

♫ I hope we run into each other again ♫

♫ I'll say it tonight ♫

♫ I hope you'd be my miracle ♫

There you are.

Ms. Baek.

I was curious about something.

That's why I came.

When you remembered you kissed me,

why did you run all the way here?

You knew it was a crazy thing to do.

If you came looking like that, the things you hid...

the secrets you've worked hard to keep

could've been revealed. You knew that.

So, why did you come?

Just because you like me?

For that one reason?

Would you be okay?

Our relationship could get exposed anytime

and it could be problematic for your dream of

becoming Yongsung's successor.

I...

think I'd be okay

as long as I have you.

As long as you like me.

All right.

If so,

I'll become your biggest secret.

You said everything you like is a secret.

That means I like you, too.

[Black Dragon]

[My Dearest Nemesis]

♫ Yeah, yeah ♫

[We thank Hong Jong Hyeon for the special appearance]

♫ To be honest, I don't know, oh, no ♫

♫ I think I'm losing my mind ♫

♫ Oh, my gosh ♫

♫ Like this ♫

♫ What to do? I don't know ♫

♫ Keep falling to love, oh, tonight ♫

♫ Shine a light on my heart ♫

You know we have to be more careful at work, right?

We'll never get caught. Don't worry.

They say office romance is like hell.

Hell at work.

Approve it now.

You're too good at improvising.

How can I make you feel better?

Are you really dating?

Don't try to know too much. You'll get hurt.

Ju Yeon finally looks truly happy.

What if they find out who the other person is?

♫ I haven't forgotten you even for a moment ♫

♫ The one who'd save me from darkness ♫

♫ Only you ♫

♫ Keep falling to love ♫
