(Unasked Family)

Su Ji must not know that I am the one...

who bought the painting, not you.

And that I paid a ridiculous amount for it.

Do you understand?

I will take extra care.

Please don't worry.

Okay. Then I'll count on you.

What do you mean by that, Mom?

Su Ji... Su Ji.

What do you mean by what you just said?

Are you saying...

that you bribed Ms. Nam?

Hear me out first, Su Ji.

I was so worried about you,

I did this for your safety just in case you lost the contest.

You drive me crazy!

Wait, Su Ji!

It was all for you!

My gosh. What should I do?

What am I to do?

(Hana Beverages)

Don't worry, Ms. Koo.

I'll take care of it.

Yes, I'll call you back later.

Come over here and sit.

We have something to discuss.

Ms. Koo did this because she was worried about you.

The same goes for me.

Nothing changes even if my mom bought the painting.

You lied to me.

What? A fan?

What kind of a fan has no faith in the artist he likes?

That has nothing to do with this.

Ms. Koo and I know how you have high self-esteem.

We wanted to protect you, so you didn't get hurt.

Hurt?

Thanks to you, my pride has been shattered into pieces.

It's so disappointing it's killing me that you're my first collector.

Su Ji.

It's spilt milk. Make sure you sort it out.

Be thorough in covering it up,

so no one ever finds out my mom was involved in this.

- Good morning, Ms. Hwang. - No, it's not.

You ran for my child.

I'd like to pay you back.

Thank you.

I wish you the best, Ms. Kang.

(Pop Artist Nam Ye Seo Reveals the Truth About the Rumor)

She sold her main painting to Hana Beverages at a high price...

in exchange for dropping out of the competition.

So it was true.

How could they bribe her...

and blame Ms. Yang for spreading false information?

Why do you think Ms. Nam suddenly told the truth?

What could the reason be?

Good morning.

I think I know the reason.

Pardon me?

What's going on?

I'll go and see Mr. Kim.

See you later, Mr. Bong.

What happened, Mr. Bae?

Check out this news article.

This must be what Ms. Nam meant when she said she would repay me.

("Pop Artist Nam Ye Seo Reveals the Truth about the Rumor")

Ji Hun, did you read the article?

Stop new articles getting published.

Since Ms. Nam confessed the truth by herself,

stopping new articles getting published won't solve the problem.

It will only arouse distrust in our company.

What that artist said might be a lie.

There's no evidence to prove that Hana Beverages gave her money.

Ji Hun, Ms. Nam's painting was in Ms. Koo's house.

Tell me honestly.

Did you really give it to Ms. Koo as a gift?

Does it really have nothing to do with Ms. Hwang's competition?

Listen, Cheon Dong.

It was my doing.

Ji Hun.

I bought that artist's painting...

in return for withdrawing from the competition...

in order to help Su Ji.

Even if you wanted to help her, why did you have to do that?

Anyway, it was my doing.

The CEO's family has nothing to do with it.

As soon as I decide on what to do next,

I will apologize publicly. Let's finish it up that way.

What do you mean by that?

I'll take the responsibility.

That's settled then.

I'm sorry, Mr. Hwang.

I can't believe it's true that you bribed Su Ji's competitor.

Are you in your right mind?

My company's stock price is falling already. What are you going to do?

I will accept any punishment, sir.

Work at the Busan branch for a while.

And start preparing for the press conference immediately.

Yes, sir.

Hi, Yeo Ju.

Why did you leave like that yesterday? I was sad...

because I was going to introduce you to Seon Hwa.

Didn't she tell you anything about me?

Seon Hwa?

No, she didn't. Do you know her?

No... No, I don't.

Never mind if she didn't say anything.

Hi, Dad.

Why?

You left without telling me this morning.

My dear youngest daughter, are you very upset?

Try to put yourself in my shoes, Dad.

Wouldn't you be angry if you see me dating a man at home?

You're right. I'm sorry.

However, Yeo Ju, you haven't told Yeo Won yet, right?

I will.

I'll tell on you.

I'll tell Yeo Won about your girlfriend.

Wait. Let me tell her.

I will tell her by myself.

So please keep it secret just for a few days, okay?

Then talk to you later, Yeo Ju.

He seems to keep seeing her...

when I'm throwing a fit about it.

Since I got caught by Yeo Ju,

I'll have to tell Yeo Won as soon as possible.

Mr. Kang, you should tell Yeo Won if you got caught by Yeo Ju.

I mean, it'll be so frustrating.

Right.

- You're here, Mother. - Hi.

- Would you like a cup of coffee? - I'm fine.

- Is Ji Yeong picking the kids up? - Yes.

Oh, there they come.

- Come on in. - We're back.

- Hi. - Mom, you're here.

Yes. Kids, go home through the restaurant.

- Yes, Grandma. - Good.

However, Sang Mun, have you given up on getting a job?

Well... I was forced to give up,

to be precise.

What do you mean?

Stop rubbing salt in the wound, Mom.

He's saying that no company wants to hire him.

I see.

That's a good thing then.

If you are not going to get a job,

you should be in charge of looking after the kids.

Take them to the kindergarten too.

He can't do that. What if everyone in the town sees him...

and finds out that he's jobless?

Focus more on practical things than your pride in the new year.

Also, make yourself useful...

by doing some house chores instead of loafing around.

Yeo Won seemed to have such a hard time at work.

She can't even rest when she comes back home...

because she does house chores too.

You should be in charge of house chores from now on.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mother.

Mom.

Mr. Bong, I have something to show you.

What is it?

(Proof of Purchase, buyer, Koo Yun Kyeong)

Ms. Nam sent it to me just earlier.

She said she'll post it on social media as evidence.

Mr. Bae and Ms. Kang, please prepare...

the press conference for tomorrow as planned.

As planned?

Are you saying that Mr. Kim will say he acted alone?

I'm counting on you two.

I'll work outside of the office and go straight home.

Mr. Bong.

Don't be so disappointed, Ms. Kang.

I guess it's also Mr. Kim's job to cover the CEO's wrongdoing up.

We should be thankful that Ms. Yang got her job back.

But still...

First of all, thank you for meeting me.

May I ask you what made you decide to confess the truth?

Ms. Kang must not have told you what she did.

Please tell her...

that I'd like to thank her...

for helping me keep my pride as an artist.

Thanks to her, I decided to make sure I won't do anything...

that my children would be ashamed of me again.

Sure. I'll make sure to deliver your message to her.

I also have something to tell Hana Beverage's CEO's family.

Please tell them that I don't need...

any additional compensation.

Il Nam, how can you do this?

You promised you would play Cupid.

You even sold your skincare product to me.

All right. I understand.

Hey, Trang.

Trang.

Yes?

The reason why I'm standing here...

Okay. Gosh, seriously.

Let me tell you some things about this man.

His Mr. Choi, Choi Man Seok.

You can't see him every day... Wait, actually,

you see him every day.

I'm busy. Cut to the chase.

Well... As for his job, as you must know,

he drives a small taxi.

I drive a private taxi. I keep all I earn.

Nevertheless, once he earns money,

he never spends it. He's stingy.

I have two houses. I own them.

I didn't even take out a loan. I have no debts.

However, he has a marriage experience.

- Pardon? - He was divorced once.

I thought you should know.

I can't believe him.

Is he trying to help me or not?

Trang, let's talk later.

Wait. You didn't pay...

the bill.

Yes, Mr. Bong.

Is everything ready for the press conference?

Yes, I just got off work and am in front of my house.

Where are you?

I'm outside.

I still have some work to take care of.

Ms. Kang.

What is it?

Are you worried a lot about Mr. Kim?

I feel grateful to him.

Second to you, Mr. Bong.

Second to me?

Hello?

Regarding the issue with Ms. Yang,

you did your best on your own to third base.

Excuse me?

I feel like...

I'm the next batter up at the ninth inning with two outs.

I'm sorry, Mr. Bong, but I'm not familiar with baseball.

You just have to cheer me on.

Okay, Mr. Bong. Good luck!

You don't sound like you mean it at all.

It's cold. You should go home.

See you tomorrow.

Look, Mr. Bong. Even if my wife did that,

how could you ask her to apologize in front of reporters?

Why are you sitting there right now?

Mr. Kim said he'd take full responsibility.

Mr. Hwang.

What is this?

(Proof of Purchase)

The artist sent it.

Unless Ms. Koo, the actual buyer, apologizes,

she said she'd expose that receipt with the press tomorrow morning.

Honey, she's playing around with us.

She wants more money.

How much will it take to change her mind?

She said she wouldn't accept any more offers.

She wants to have a clear conscience in front of her kids.

Clear conscience?

How could she say that after taking our money?

She gave it all back.

Mr. Hwang, I believe you should do as Ms. Nam says...

to sort this mess out.

How is that sorting things out?

It's an embarrassment to the company...

and it will affect Su Ji's work.

The artist came clean,

so it would be best for us, not to mention the only way...

to solve this problem, to do the same.

Honey, I can't do that, not for anything.

That would be so embarrassing!

Mom, you just have to do it.

What is so difficult about reading what's written on a piece of paper?

You'll have to be up there with her.

Mr. Bong.

Don't you know who I am? I'm Hwang Su Ji!

Why would I apologize when I didn't do anything wrong?

What will you do...

about her damaged reputation as an artist?

I'm looking for a solution.

And what is it?

Please give me until tomorrow.

(Hana Beverages)

I feel sick.

Alice, am I shaking?

I guess I am here.

Will you be okay, Ms. Hwang?

Go and check on my mom.

She must be losing it.

- I'll be right there. - Okay, Ms. Hwang.

Mr. Bong must be here, right?

(Yang Jin Hui)

I asked you to turn it in for me. Why did you keep it?

I knew you'd be back.

It's only right.

Thank you, Ms. Kang.

Mr. Bae told me everything...

about how hard you fought for me.

I heard you talked Ms. Nam into coming clean.

Well...

Kang Yeo Won,

you were behind all this?

(Hana Beverages Apology Press Conference)

Let's begin.

(Hana Beverages Apology Press Conference)

(Hana Beverages Apology Press Conference)

What is going on?

Why are Ms. Koo and Su Ji here?

I couldn't let you take responsibility for everything.

Mr. Bong, this was something I should have handled.

I'm sorry, Ji Hun.

I didn't think you'd agree so I kept it a secret.

Did Mr. Hwang agree to this?

Yes.

- Let's begin. - Okay.

Thank you for being here today.

First, Ms. Koo Yun Kyeong will share her apology.

Hi, I'm Koo Yun Kyeong.

First, I'd like to sincerely apologize...

for causing trouble...

by keeping work within the family of Hana Beverages.

I truly looked back at myself...

and to apologize,

I promise to use 10 million dollars...

of my personal money...

to help students that are struggling...

to study art.

(Hana Beverages Apology Press Conference)

The 10 million dollars she delivered...

will be used to establish and run scholarship foundation Hana's Dream.

Hana's Dream will annually select...

20 young and talented artists...

and sponsor them for 10 years.

I guess it's my turn.

Have you found a way to save me?

Not yet.

Mr... Mr. Bong.

Can you hold my hand?

Please.

I came here trusting you, Mr. Bong.

Please help me.

Are you okay?

Next, Artist Su Ji Hwang will make a statement.

Why?

Are you jealous?

I know you're behind all this.

Look forward to it. I'll make the next move.

I'm a pop artist, Su Ji Hwang.

As someone directly involved with this incident,

I feel deeply responsible.

As of today, I will withdraw from the project...

immediately.

Ms. Hwang, many people have negative views on how you got the project...

without adequate qualifications.

Please give us a detailed explanation.

I don't have adequate qualifications?

Have you even seen my works?

After causing public outrage by pulling a big power trip,

you did your MBA abroad to get away from it.

Why did you suddenly change your career path to pop art?

Please make a comment about negative online comments too.

Some people claim that your degree from NYU is also fake.

Is it true?

What did you just say?

Who said that?

Mr. Bong, what should we do?

That's a groundless claim.

Ms. Hwang graduated from New York School of the Arts.

with very good grades.

She also drew attention from art critics in New York.

Can you prove what you just said?

Cheon Dong, end the press conference.

- Give me just a moment. - Anything can sound like an excuse.

I can't let them ruin Su Ji's reputation anymore.

Please, give me just a little more time.

If you can't end it, I'll do it.

Fortunately, the person who can prove what I just said is here.

Everyone, let me introduce you to Reporter Choi Yun Jin.

(Hana Beverages Apology Press Conference)

Hello. I'm Reporter Choi Yun Jin from Contemporary Art Monthly.

In the year before last,

Ms. Hwang started her career as a pop artist in New York...

without her family knowing.

Of course, there was no one in New York...

who knew that she's the daughter of Hana Beverages' CEO.

Neither did I although I worked as an art critic in New York back then.

Ms. Choi,

are you here to defend Ms. Hwang?

I think he's right.

I think so too.

Today, I'm not here to defend her,

but I'm here to tell her news.

New York Association of Contemporary Art Critics...

just announced the 10 rising pop artists of this year,

and Ms. Hwang is one of them.

I was late as it took me a while to confirm it with the association.

Congratulations.

My goodness.

This is great news. I can't believe she made it.

I believe you can put the doubts about her qualifications to rest.

Please write honest and reasonable articles.

Thank you for being here.

Wait. Hold on.

Ms. Hwang, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

How do you feel? Did you expect it?

How do you feel about being chosen as 1 of the top 10 rising artists?

What are your plans as an artist?

Are you planning to continue your career as an artist?

- Please make a comment. - Please say a word.

- Please tell us your career plans. - What are your plans?

- Please tell us how you feel. - Did you expect this?

Please look here.

Thank you.

Let's go.

(Hana Beverages Apology Press Conference)

- How did you start your career? - Will you continue your activities?

Please tell us how you feel.

Mr. Bong!

- Mr. Bong. - Cheon Dong.

- Mr. Bong! - Mr. Bong!

- Cheon Dong! - Cheon Dong.

- Mr. Bong. - Cheon Dong!

- Call an ambulance now. - Okay.

Mr. Bong!

(Unasked Family)

Maybe when he fainted, it damaged his heart.

He had a heart transplant?

I found this in the dog bed.

Jenny, was it you that took this ring?

I have something to tell you.

- Don't come to see me again. - You cause close people to die.

Wasn't it enough that your husband died because of you?

"I'm relieved that I can see Ms. Kang again."

That's what I thought when I woke up.

Dong U, I can't stop thinking about him.
