(Episode 87)

(Director Seo Jung Min)

Ms. Seo, I'm going to turn off my cell phone after work.

So wait until tomorrow to tell me anything about work.

(Aunt)

You can't just go inside whenever you want.

Yes, I can.

Your boss has a lot to say to me right now.

Get out of my way.

It's okay. You may leave.

You're a lot calmer than expected.

I thought you'd be furious.

You finally caught them together.

Are you going to be a fool and do nothing?

Aunt.

What made you change so much?

You were humorous, broad-minded, and extraordinary.

But now you're vulgar and crude.

What is it that made you change?

Let me guess.

I bet it was self-pity.

The fact that you were discarded by your father...

made you pity yourself.

That self-pity turned into selfishness.

That selfishness turned into greed.

And that greed eventually took over you.

You're in no position to be on a high horse right now.

Like you said, I may be selfish and greedy.

But that's my problem.

You can't even keep your woman under control.

I can't let a guy like you run Seorin.

That's up to the board to decide!

Aunt.

Why can't we compete fair and square?

Stop trying to cheat your way through...

by purposely getting Ji Eun involved in a scandal.

Do you think I ran over here...

thinking I finally got something on you?

I came because I felt disgraced.

Do you know what people are saying?

They think you're a fool for Ji Eun.

And I agree.

You can't seem to think straight when it comes to Ji Eun.

Doesn't this offend you?

A Jun is coveting your girl.

He's trying to challenge you by trying to steal her from you.

It's my life, and I'll deal with it myself.

You say that,

but they're crying together in each other's arms.

Jung Min.

A woman's love for a man can change very easily.

She received Bisang Textile in return for breaking up with you.

So who says she won't say no...

to becoming the daughter-in-law of Chairman Chung?

You know better than anyone that she has a lot of ambition.

Try comparing the size of Chung Group and Seorin.

Chung Group is a much bigger company than Seorin.

I'm not trying to come between you two.

If you believe in love too much, you'll end up losing it all.

You make it sound like you're worried about me.

I am worried about you.

I know I'm currently competing with you...

so I can become the chairwoman of the company,

but I'm still your family.

You're like a son to me.

I want you to be happy.

I really mean it.

Jung Min, it takes courage to let go of something.

And it takes a lot more guts to let go and walk away.

Live the kind of life that suits you.

Just live the kind of life that suits you, okay?

Don't bother trying to fight me...

just so you could reform the company.

If you go abroad with Ji Eun and live happily there,

you and I won't have to fight.

You really know how to hide your true intentions.

I almost got swayed.

I meant half of what I said, and the other half was just talk.

Now that you're done messing with my head,

will you please leave?

Let me tell you one more thing before I leave.

There's always a storyline to everything.

I'm sure A Jun was the person who left the proposal...

from Bisang Textile on my desk.

It's been a while since I've sensed that he wants...

to come between you and Ji Eun.

The person you need to fight against isn't me.

It's A Jun.

It looks like we have a little mouse here.

(Director Choi Myung Hwa)

Seo Eun Ju gives me a live update on everything.

That leaves you with one less thing to do, Mr. Han.

What happened this time?

A Jun and Ji Eun apparently cried...

in each other's arms on the emergency stairway.

Chairwoman Seo took a photo of them...

and sent it to Jung Min.

Seeing that she doesn't share everything with you...

regarding the stuff that happens to Seo Jung Min,

she must really be getting ready to go separate ways.

There's a reason why people call her a viper.

She never shares her prey.

She's only pretending to hold hands with me...

because of my borrowed-name bank accounts.

But the moment she held my hand,

she would've already thought of when to let go.

That's why we should also get ready to go our way.

It won't be very hard to win over...

the head of the finance department at CIB.

We graduated from the same high school,

and he seems to have a big grudge against Chairwoman Seo.

Who doesn't have a grudge against their boss?

If he's the head of the finance department,

that means he's pretty close with Seo Hui Su.

He won't hold hands with us just for a few pennies.

And in the worst-case scenario,

Seo Hui Su might even hear about it.

Then are you saying I should find something on him?

If you could, that'd be great.

But it's not easy to do that.

It's better to use his greed against him.

You're saying we should give him money...

and guarantee his position at the same time, right?

You really are clever, Mr. Han.

Tell him that we won't expose...

Chairwoman Seo's irregularities and slush fund.

Say we're only going to use it to pressure her.

Then he'll come around.

I'll do as you ask.

Accounting fraud, illegal gifts,

embezzlement, illegal foreign exchange transactions,

insider tradings, and many more.

He'll have tons of things regarding her irregularities.

I'll bring something that will surely satisfy you.

You have a lot to do for me, Mr. Jung.

Hurry up and become close with Seo Eun Ju.

Right now, she has no choice but to do as I say...

because I have her weakness.

But she's a scary woman.

She's a crazy stalker, so deal with her wisely.

(Director Choi Myung Hwa)

Director Choi, do you trust Jung Soo Ho?

He was loyal to Jang Se Hoon.

Then he was sent to work with Seo Jung Min.

But he betrayed him and willingly came to us.

It's hard to read him.

He's just trying to survive.

Jang Se Hoon no longer has anything to do with Seorin.

So he probably thought Seo Jung Min was his lifeboat.

But Jung Min would've treated him like any other employee.

I bet he knew he had to side with me in order to gain benefits.

We'll wait and see if he'll be of good use to us.

(Seorin)

The emergency stairway window was open.

We were just mistaken.

No one saw us, so stop worrying so much.

Do you feel that bad about hugging me?

We only hugged to console each other.

So there's no reason to feel bad.

My heart was pounding.

If you keep crossing the line, we can't be friends.

We agreed to be friends, so act like one.

I'm so angry that you met Jung Min before me.

Nothing would've changed if I met you before him.

You're not my type.

You're really making me jealous.

A Jun.

We both know that not being able to meet...

the person you miss so much is the saddest thing in the world.

That's what made us become friends.

You make it sound nice,

but you're only doing that to draw a line.

That's because I want to protect our friendship.

We love, get hurt,

learn new lessons, and start all over again.

I think that's life.

Tomorrow, let's meet Alley's mother together.

You can explain what happened to her...

and finally free yourself from guilt.

You should also tell Jung Min how you feel...

in order to get rid of your resentment toward him.

I already agreed to work on it, so don't try to force things.

Let's go eat.

I have a date with Jung Min.

We haven't gone on a date in a really long time,

so don't bother us.

Gosh, I won't. Don't worry.

(CEO Lee Ji Eun)

I knew things could never work out between us,

but it's hard to let go now that I've started to like her.

I'll see you.

(Director Seo Jung Min)

Aren't we leaving?

What are you doing? We're at work.

Have you lost your mind?

I think I'm losing it.

Is there something wrong?

Chairwoman Seo came by.

Is that why you feel so upset?

Ji Eun.

What kind of woman are you?

I'm a woman who's in love with you.

You don't look so well.

You look really tired too.

Should we spend time at your place?

I'll cook you dinner.

Sure.

Okay, let's go.

Ms. Seo.

I was too busy to write back,

but I got Jung Min a gift and left it with Mr. Kim.

So don't forget to take it with you.

Thank you for being so kind.

By the way, I found the tie clip.

He found it on the floor inside his office.

I was very rude to you before.

I'll be more careful from now on.

I should leave.

Look at her being so condescending...

when she's the one going around seducing men.

Take it. It's okay.

No, this isn't necessary.

Just take it. It's my way of thanking you.

What do you think you're doing?

Are you his driver?

I asked him to bring my car out for me.

You may leave.

A Jun.

Do you think this is a hotel or your playground?

How dare you ask him to drive your car out for you?

I wasn't feeling well, so I asked him to do me a favor.

That's all.

Don't you know that it's not allowed?

Are you trying to show off that you're Chairman Chung's son?

Jung Min, that's enough. You're embarrassing A Jun.

This is going against the company rules.

Please don't get involved.

You're going to tell me that I broke the company rules...

just because I asked a security guard to bring my car out?

When will you start behaving yourself?

Do you like seeing people bow down to you...

just because you got in here using your connections?

Don't you think you just crossed the line?

You're the one who crossed the line.

Stop acting so haughty.

Hey! Stop right there!

Jung Min, that's enough. People are watching.

You must be tired.

No, not at all.

My goodness.

You're addicted to doing volunteer work.

It's a nice kind of addiction though.

I felt this once more while doing volunteer work today.

We really should be grateful.

The man I helped bathe today...

lost all his memory and couldn't move properly.

I don't know what happened to him,

but he couldn't even talk because he had aphasia.

My goodness, poor man.

We're of a similar age, so we agreed to be friends.

But I must say, I could sense that he had class.

He didn't seem like an ordinary man.

Anyway, there was something about him.

He seems to have gone through a lot.

If he's at the sanitarium, does he not have a family?

I didn't ask because I thought it might be rude.

But he seemed a bit close with the director there.

They seemed like a couple.

Is he good-looking?

Yes, I bet he was very charming when he was young.

He looks like Richard Gere. Especially the color of his hair.

"Richard Gere"?

Richard Gere is my ideal type of man.

I thought that was me.

You're someone I want to be with.

Isn't that the same thing as your ideal type?

That means I think of you as Richard Gere.

Anyway, he felt somewhat familiar...

although it was my first time seeing him.

It felt like we knew each other.

Maybe you were destined to meet each other.

It takes a strong connection of fate to even become friends.

I feel so bad for him for some reason.

Seeing him has taught me...

that money and power are eventually all useless in life.

Being healthy is the best.

My goodness.

I'm tired. I'm going to go upstairs and take a shower.

- Should I bring you warm milk? - Sure.

I sleep so well these days because you always bring me warm milk.

(10 years ago)

Do you think I don't know what this is about?

If I tell you not to do something, you do it even more.

You seemed to have insomnia these days.

That's why I brought it. Why are you trying to start a fight?

Don't you know why I have insomnia?

I'm always busy cleaning after you and your brother.

That's why I can't sleep at night.

I don't want to drink milk, so stop bringing it to me.

Just don't cause trouble.

He was so cold to me.

But maybe he was like that because of me.

Is it because I'm back at this house?

I wonder why he keeps appearing in my dreams these days.

Your bone density decreases as you age.

So you need to drink milk.

It has a lot of calcium and vitamins.

It also helps you keep your teeth healthy.

You have very strong willpower.

So you were able to regain your consciousness in eight years.

It's a miracle that you went through...

all the rehabilitation training and got better.

You really don't do the things you don't like.

But of course, that stubbornness is what saved your life.

A voice in my head tells me...

that you're trying to hide the truth from me...

even though you know who I am and what happened to me.

If you find out who you are and why you ended up like this,

it'll give you a hard time, and things will get very confusing.

So I can't tell you. I'm not going to tell you anything.

You should sleep.

I'm grateful for what she's done, and she's a kind woman.

So I don't want to doubt her.

But what is she hiding from me?

You're very much like my dad.

You both have a similar palate and character.

He also used to like strawberries just like you.

You barely ate dinner,

and you still seem upset.

Did something happen?

We promised to discuss everything together.

What's on your mind, Jung Min?

I'm just tired.

You should've told me earlier.

I should clean up the kitchen and go home.

(Seo Eun Ju)

Jung Min, you're still awake?

Thank you, Mr. Seo.

This robot is really cool.

I'm glad you like it.

Thank you for your letter.

When will you visit again?

I'll go visit you soon.

Will you put your mom on the phone?

He kept asking if I could call you.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

I got an approval from the general affairs team.

So you can give them...

the hospital bill statement when you come to work tomorrow.

Thank you, sir.

You're our savior.

I'll work harder to support you, sir.

Don't mention it. Good night to you both.

Is there something you need to say?

I understand that you care about the sick kid.

But I think you should keep a distance with Ms. Seo.

What do you mean?

I'm not saying this out of jealousy.

I just have a hunch.

I know you're going to deny it.

But Ms. Seo has feelings for you.

And because of that, she's very hostile with me.

Then I'm guessing you know how I feel right now.

Never mind. Forget it.

Is this...

about me and A Jun?

Did I do something to give you the wrong idea?

Is this because you know what happened...

on the emergency stairway?

I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get the wrong idea.

You and A Jun were hugging each other there.

Let me explain.

A Jun had something to discuss with me.

And I comforted him.

And in that process, A Jun and I got emotional.

Since when were you two so close?

What made you so emotional...

that made you hug him and cry?

Is that why you were so angry at A Jun earlier...

and kept giving me the cold shoulder throughout dinner?

What was it that required you...

to get comforted by another man instead of me?

No matter what I say right now, you don't be able to understand.

You're already talking to me with a biased mind,

so there's nothing I can say to you.

Okay, fine. Don't tell me if you don't want to.

I don't want to force you to tell me anything.

Let's drop it.

We'll only end up hurting each other.

Ji Eun, do you know something?

You never let me think that you're fully mine.

Then let me tell you something too.

You always judge and decide things on your own.

Do you think this is a hotel or your playground?

How dare you ask him to drive your car out for you?

I wasn't feeling well, so I asked him to do me a favor.

That's all.

Don't you know that it's not allowed?

Are you trying to show off that you're Chairman Chung's son?

When will you start behaving yourself?

Do you like seeing people bow down to you...

just because you got in here using your connections?

A Jun.

What are you trying to do?

I'm going to destroy you.

Jung Min, let him go.

I haven't seen you get so angry in a long time.

Stop provoking him.

A joke?

You call this a joke?

Are you not capable of thinking rationally?

I tried to hold it in because of Ji Eun,

but I guess it's time I put an end to this.

Ji Eun...

is the woman I love.

But it's over between you guys.

Can't I love her now that you're no longer dating?

I wanted to introduce her to you.

Are you dating someone?

I'm still trying to make her mine.

(Aunt)

I was wondering what to do with you.

Really?

Well, don't bother. I've already made up my mind.

Jung Min.

I'm going to be a bad guy now.

What did you just say?

Is Ji Eun the reason why you're behaving this way?

You really don't get it, do you?

Listen to me, Jung Min.

I'm going to destroy you.

Alley died...

because of you.

If you hadn't called the cops that day,

Alley could've lived.

She died because of you. You killed her!

You made her die.

So I'm going to destroy everything you have.

I only came here to take revenge for Alley.

(Phoenix 2020)

Don't try to stop me.

Jung Min thinks I'm a joke, so I'm going to beat him.

Yeo Jin, I'll pretend to hit on you.

Why are you helping me?

Because I like that friend of hers.

I'm going to give him all of Seorin's shares.

And I'm also going to give him all my shares of CLB.

It's not your fault, Jung Min.

Thank you for always being on my side, Ji Eun.

I love you no matter what.
