Jaemin!

It's all your fault.

You give your heart to anyone who's nice to you.

That's why I've come to this stage.

Jaemin.

-Put the knife down first... -You told me not to worry, right?

You'll take care of it, right?

I was always looking out for you.

I sacrificed so much for you.

But you don't need me anymore?

How could you abandon me?

Stop making me miserable.

Da-on.

[Jung Da-on: Mr. Ju, where are you? I have something to tell you. I'm coming to you.]

Where are you?

Did something happen?

[Jung Da-on: Mr. Ju, where are you? I have something to tell you. I'm coming to you.]

I'm really worried. Please reply when you can.

I'll be waiting.

[Secret Relationships]

[Episode 7]

You're awake.

It was an emergency treatment. We need to do a thorough examination.

You'll be having a CT scan after the drip.

Excuse me.

The person who came with me...

Oh. He said he's busy and left.

He left?

Oh, right. He also asked me to pass this to you.

All this time,

I know how much you've sacrificed and cared for me.

I'm very grateful.

But...

About Park Jeonghun

and Soohyun studying abroad...

It all made me really confused.

If you did all that for me,

I hope you won't do such a thing again.

I left to deal with something urgent.

Until now,

I've never once followed my heart.

But I no longer want to

regret missed opportunities.

Mr. Jung.

Why couldn't I reach you?

Do you know how worried I was?

I'm sorry.

I was caught up in something.

What's this on your neck?

Oh, um...

Is this... what you wanted to tell me?

No, you're mistaken—

I was hopeful for nothing again.

So it's true.

[Emergency Medical Center]

I called you, and they said you were at the hospital,

alone without a guardian.

Didn't you meet Jung Da-on?

I wasn't sure,

but now I am.

We're nothing to him now.

We can't control him like we used to.

If that's why you're here, get lost.

So, work with me.

We can't do anything on our own anyway.

Isn't it better to work together?

Think about it.

What matters now isn't if you or I get him,

but to not let Ju Sunghyun get him.

Let's get in touch again once we come up with something.

No.

I don't want to work with you.

Even after what you've been through?

I've done my best.

So you're giving up on Jung Da-on?

You?

I've gone this far, yet Da-on still won't accept me.

It can't be helped then.

What are you up to now?

Think whatever you want.

I've decided to stop here.

[Albi Construction]

-Good morning. -Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

Listen up, Mr. Ju is on sick leave today.

If you need anything,

look for Mr. Jung or Mr. Park.

Mr. Jung, report to me right after you meet the supplier.

[I've met the supplier. I'll report to you as soon as I get back.]

[Ju Sunghyun, Assistant Manager: I'll wait for you.]

Mr. Ju.

Mr. Ju.

I came because I was worried.

Are you sick? Is it serious?

Did you take your medicine?

Mr. Ju.

Yesterday was a misunderstanding—

Misunderstanding?

-I can explain. -No.

You don't have to.

I'm very clear how you feel.

I was hopeful.

I rushed to you, all excited.

While waiting for you for hours,

I was wondering what you were doing and why I couldn't reach you.

Did you get into trouble?

I was so worried.

I should've given up when you told me to.

To be honest, I regret it.

I won't cling to you anymore.

I'll stop, as you wish.

Please leave.

Please don't come to me again.

Mr. Jung! The water...

-Isn't that him? -Yeah, the nepotism hire.

Mr. Jung.

Did you read the post on the forum?

-The post? -Yes.

[Exposing the corruption and bullying in Al Construction.]

The director of Strategic Planning HQ of Al Construction

and assistant manager, Mr. J, went to the same college.

The director almost went to jail after beating someone up for Mr. J,

but his family settled it and he went abroad.

A few years later, Mr. J started working at Al Construction.

It's clearly a nepotism hire.

I'm the victim of that incident.

A while ago, the director of Al Construction

changed his mind at the last stage of our contract negotiations.

He said it was because of me.

I really can't stand it when people get assigned to high positions

just because of connections.

That Mr. J sure is shameless.

I guess you're not that good at your job.

These days, having connections is a skill.

I've gone this far, yet Da-on still won't accept me.

It can't be helped then.

Think whatever you want.

I've decided to stop here.

Is it because of Park Jeonghun that

you didn't sign the contract with Pilkang Industrial?

Did that schmuck say that?

Damn it. I told him not to get on my nerves again.

Why did you do that?

It's all in the past!

Does it mean nothing

just because it's in the past?

Why can't it be so?

If you're resentful about studying abroad,

I'll apologize to you.

You ended up like this because I called you—

Do you think I'm doing this because of that?

Then why are you doing all this?

Be it the past or the present...

You and Jaemin always keep things from me.

How would I know?

-If you'd told me the truth— -If I'd told you,

what could you've done?

You'd just whine and complain, just like right now.

No.

-I'd try to resolve— -No, you wouldn't have done anything.

And what's important now

isn't whether I told you back then or not.

Since you know it now,

what matters is whether

you'll come back to me.

It's all your fault.

You give your heart to anyone who's nice to you.

That's why I've come to this stage.

I should've given up when you told me to.

To be honest, I regret it.

Please don't come to me again.

No, you wouldn't have done anything.

What could you've done?

It's all my fault.

Because I don't deserve

to love or to be loved.

That's why people around me are all miserable.

Are you okay?

Da-on.

What?

Grandma?

Goodness.

You're burning.

I'll make you some congee.

Goodness.

Eat up.

What's troubling you so much that you fell sick?

Don't keep your troubles to yourself

or they'll fester.

I tried everything I could,

but I guess some things just don't work out.

I can't do it anymore, so I said I'm done trying.

I did well, didn't I?

Didn't I make the right choice?

You did so, so well.

Good job, my baby.

Wow, with your hug, I'm all recovered!

I'll finish the congee so I can take my medicine.

Okay.

Okay, eat up. I'll...

go make some tea.

Okay.

Eat up.

I'm sad to see you quit so suddenly.

Since I've made up my mind, I'm going to take a break.

Have you decided where to go?

I'll probably go somewhere far.

I might be gone for a long time.

So I'm settling everything before I leave.

Keep in touch.

There'll always be a place for you here.

Thank you.

My baby, did you get to work safely?

How are you feeling?

Thanks to you, I'm all recovered. I'm on my way to work.

Don't worry, Grandma.

[Jung Da-on, assistant manager: I'll wait for you.] [Kang Minju, team manager: Yes, I've checked it.] [Strategic Planning HQ: I've submitted the proposal.]

Mr. Ju.

This is the material you asked for.

Okay.

Min-ah.

Is Mr. Jung out on business?

Oh, um...

I think he didn't come to work because of what happened yesterday.

Yesterday?

[Exposing the corruption and bullying in Al Construction. The director of Strategic Planning HQ and assistant manager, Mr. J, went to the same college...]

Yesterday was total chaos because of the post exposing Director Kim and Mr. Jung.

It's about how they were friends since college,

and it caused a lot of problems.

Because of that, people are calling Mr. Jung a nepotism hire,

and saying that it's also why

he was chosen for the TF team.

[Jung Da-on, assistant manager: Mr. Jung, are you okay?]

Mr. Ju.

I think you'll have to present

the resort bid.

Please get prepared.

Wasn't Mr. Jung supposed to do it?

Well, Mr. Jung is...

probably quitting the TF team.

Because of yesterday's issue,

and the higher-ups are quite upset too,

Mr. Jung offered to quit the team.

Anyway, we don't have much time.

Sorry to trouble you.

Gosh... Are you blind?

As a director, don't you care about protecting your employees?

Protect my employees?

Are you even aware that the online post...

has put Mr. Jung in a tight spot?

Wow... Our company is so open-minded.

How dare an employee criticize his superior?

Be it protecting or covering for my employees, I'll take care of it.

As a mere employee, stay out of it.

You'd better take care of it well so I don't have to step in.

If Mr. Jung quits the TF team,

I won't just sit back and watch.

Jung Da-on wants to quit the TF team?

That's great. I wasn't happy about it anyway.

That's great?

Mr. Jung didn't even come to work. How could you...

He didn't come to work?

Shinhee Apartment in Yongsan, please.

Every time I felt upset or frustrated,

I always went up this hill nearby.

It was like... a shelter for me.

Sorry, instead of Yongsan, please drive to Mujeon-dong.

Jung Da-on!

Hey!

The subscriber you've dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.

Mr. Ju, how'd you know I'd be here?

You said you'd come here when you're upset or frustrated.

Running away again?

Can hiding solve anything?

Let go of me.

You prepared so hard. How can you give up so easily?

I'm sorry.

You should say that to yourself instead.

You said you've found your dream.

We agreed to work hard together.

But how can you give up so easily?

You must've heard the rumor too.

How can I go to work and stay on the TF team as if nothing happened?

I...

don't deserve to.

I can't do it.

Who decided that?

Why are you giving up before trying?

What else can I do in this situation?

You can do anything.

So please...

stop running away.

Do you want me to go crazy?

What the hell were you doing? Why couldn't I reach you?

If you disappear without a word again,

I really won't...

I heard you're quitting the TF team.

You might as well come work under me now.

I'm not quitting the TF team.

I'm going to win the bid and realize my dream.

I won't disappoint those who believe in me.

I'll make it to a foreign branch...

Why do you insist on going abroad?

Why do you keep trying to get rid of me?

Because that's the only way I can find myself!

What?

Without you...

and without Jaemin...

A life without you two.

Yes, Director Kim.

Get ready. Do as planned.

[Jaemin 'hyung']

Hello?

I'm sorry about what happened.

I must have lost my mind for a bit.

I wanted to apologize as soon as I woke up at the hospital...

but you were gone.

-I really had something urgent— -Da-on.

I'm leaving soon.

You're leaving?

Yes.

I think this is the best choice right now.

Take care.

Take care.

-I... Mr. Jung! Are you okay?

We were worried about you.

I have something to tell you.

Oh, okay.

Did you eat?

Yes, I did.

This info is good. Add it to the floor plan.

Look at this floor plan...

Mr. Ju, please take a look at this.

Okay.

I think there isn't enough info. What do you think?

Compared to the volume of vehicles, the parking lot is too small.

We need more facilities for the elderly and disabled.

[2024 Dubai Resort Construction Bidding Conference]

[2024 Dubai Resort Construction Bidding Conference]

[Dubai Resort Construction Bidding Conference]

When it's time for the presentation,

you can turn on the microphone and start.

[2024 Dubai Resort Construction Bidding Conference]

Aren't you from Albi Construction?

Yes.

Is Director Kim Soohyun not here yet?

Um... Wait a moment.

Okay.

The number you've dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.

He must be on his way.

I'll inform you when he arrives.

Oh, okay.

Let's go.

[Jung Da-on: Da-on, why's your phone turned off? I'll wait until you get here.]

Where are you?

All's set.

It's a bit too direct to talk about property value.

It'd be better to edit that part.

[Jaemin 'hyung': Before going abroad, I have something to give to you...]

Are you free?

I happen to be nearby.

I'll wait for you at the basement parking lot.

Okay.

It's two hours away from the city, with convenient transportation.

I...

need to drop by the basement parking lot.

Okay, go ahead.

I'll go get ready for the rehearsal.

Okay.

Do you think...

you can spare me some time after the presentation?

I have something to tell you.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

[Public Facilities Building]

[Jaemin 'hyung': There's a traffic jam. I'll be there soon.]

It's time for Albi Construction's rehearsal.

-Okay. -Okay.

[7 years ago]

Da-on.

Don't you want to hang it on the Christmas tree?

You should write your wish too.

I just said it in passing.

I didn't think you'd remember.

You're not a kid anymore. Wishes are so childish.

In movies and dramas,

they write their wishes and hang them on the Christmas tree.

Then the next day, there'll be a huge pile of gifts.

I can't even dream about that in my family.

So I've always wanted to try it.

-This one. -This one? Okay.

Wait... Read it after I hang it.

-Okay, okay. -Let me see.

Oh?

It's snowing.

[Please let us all be happy.]

[Let us all be happy.]

[Please let us be together until the day we die.]
