Sung-jun...

Let's stop, you and I.

Let's just stop.

Any complaints?

No.

MANAGER HA YU-RI

Hi.

How's Ms. Na doing?

She's better now.

That's a relief.

Did you sleep at the hospital last night?

Yes.

Are you coming to work?

I'll be there this afternoon.

Then I'll see you at the office.

Okay.

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

You've only been out a few days.

Are you okay to be here?

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

No, it wasn't your fault. I'm fine.

I'm glad you weren't hurt badly.

Are you okay?

You should've rested more.

Is everything okay?

The president made sure everyone kept quiet.

I don't think I can keep up.

Na Jung-sun speaking.

Yes, ma'am.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Thank goodness you're fine.

I won't forget all the hard work you did this time.

I have something to tell you.

It seems you know what's been going on between Mr. Park

and the vice president.

If you provide some support,

we could drive public opinion.

What do you think?

If you think about it... this is something you've also wanted.

I'm sorry to say this...

but I have no intention of involving myself in his affairs anymore.

Oh, my.

You've forgiven him already?

What a generous person you are.

I felt this kind of revenge was meaningless.

Then…

how about this?

What if...

I want you to be on my side?

You said you wanted to be on my side.

This will be your only chance.

If what you need is someone who can pull things off like Park,

I'm afraid I'm not the one.

I'll do everything I can in my current position.

I understand what you mean, Ms. Na.

I'll consider your opinion.

What a pity.

This kind of scandal is more effective...

when a wife accuses her husband.

You look exhausted.

Things kept me busy.

You should take care of yourself though.

Right.

I ACCUSE MR. PARK AND MANAGER HA

OF THEIR INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP.

What a pity.

This kind of scandal is more effective...

when a wife accuses her husband.

Will she be okay?

It's their fault, not Ms. Na's.

I know, but…

Our next story

concerns suspicions that Ha Jae-woong,

the vice president of Sungun, owns shares under borrowed names.

Seeking to secure the right of management of Sungun,

he used the names of executives,

including his mistress Ms. Lee and Director Park--

This was deliberately set up to go off with the scandal.

-Can't you still reach Soo-jung? -No, sir.

Damn you, Ha Tae-young.

Mr. Park and Ms. Ha?

Why would he?

Does it even make sense?

-Did you know? -It's a big deal for Ms. Na.

Let's not gossip.

You're right.

I guess you won't be able to talk about your resignation.

Things are pretty serious.

I'll wait until it settles down.

That's good.

Break up with Park.

-Father. That's-- -I warned you!

I told you not to see him until things were sorted.

Go to Park if you want to be with him...

but...

you will have to leave here as On Yu-ri, not Ha Yu-ri.

MR. PARK SUNG-JUN

Actually...

I was going to reveal that scandal.

I was going to let my rage take over me.

Only I didn't know that it would…

also ruin me.

Then I realized…

that I was actually becoming enraged...

with things that I shouldn't have known...

and things that I should've known.

Are you all right?

I thought it would take a load off my mind...

to see him hit rock bottom.

But that's not how a person's mind works.

Now I don't even know...

who or what I should be angry at.

You can't come in here.

I came since you weren't picking up.

What's going to happen to our promise?

Did I... make a promise to you?

That you'd secure a spot for me in an overseas branch

once the scandal was revealed.

That?

You told me what you wanted me to do.

I never agreed to it.

-You said you'd see what happens! -Yes.

-I said I'd see what happens. -Ms. Ha!

Why are you being so loud?

I'm afraid we have nothing further to discuss.

Ms. Ha.

I've got nothing to lose.

You won't like what I might do.

You're nothing.

How dare you threaten me?

Do you want to see what the bottom is really like?

How violent.

Hand me the result report as soon as it's ready.

-Yes, sir. -Okay.

I'll have a word with you, Ms. Na.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

I apologize for putting you on the spot.

When you first started doing all this...

were you prepared for what might happen?

I wonder if everything you're doing is worth it.

I wonder if everything you're doing is worth it.

Are you okay?

Of course, you're not okay.

I won't…

criticize you.

I wanted to do well.

I wanted to go higher.

It was the only thing I could do...

as someone who had nothing.

I must have wanted to prove myself…

to Jung-sun...

and to everyone else.

I needed to make a choice...

when I was on the edge.

I thought I was making choices that wouldn't hurt anyone.

But at some point, I realized I was way off the mark.

When I looked around me...

it had all gotten so far out of my control.

But I'm grateful...

that I get to stop now.

MR. PARK SUNG-JUN

Will you teach me how to drive tomorrow?

Hello?

It's me, Jung-sun.

Take your right foot,

and slowly push down on the accelerator.

-Gosh. -Step on the brake.

I'm scared.

It's all right.

Take it slowly.

Try to push it slowly again.

Good.

Good.

-It's moving. -Yes.

Now...

slowly turn the wheel to the left.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Now that you stopped, turn the wheel to the left.

A little further.

That's good. Now slowly step on the pedal like you just did.

Good.

You're doing great.

I'm driving by myself.

The air is fresh

and the scenery is beautiful here.

There aren't many people,

but you know how stressful it is when it's crowded.

What brings you to Yeoncheon?

Just traveling for a change of scenery.

How did you know I was here?

Father told me.

I heard about... Mr. Park.

I was so enraged when I heard about it.

No one can be trusted in this world,

but I at least trusted your husband.

Should I go beat him up?

That punk…

is going to regret it.

I regret it too, you know.

He's definitely going to regret it.

How have you been feeling?

I'm good.

I told you.

Witches like me tend to live a long life.

Hold on.

-Here. -It's okay.

This is all I can give you.

Thank you.

Thank you for calling me first.

I know it's shameless of me,

but I'm glad to see you, even like this.

It's just…

I got tired of hating people.

I'll get going.

When I know how to drive...

I want to be able…

to go to the movies by myself...

and go on trips too.

A pop-up bar.

Let's have a drink there.

I had a great time today.

I learned how to drive...

and came to a pop-up bar like this with you again.

I'll never forget about this.

How was it for you, Sung-jun?

I had fun too.

You're lying.

You know what?

When you're with me...

you always look sad.

I thought it would get better...

over time if we stayed together longer.

But you seem to become even sadder.

I didn't know why...

but now I think I know.

That's really what I am to you.

I remind you…

of your sadness.

I remind you…

of your breakup with Ms. Na.

Yu-ri...

I didn't think I'd be lonely with you.

But I'm even lonelier with you now.

So…

I want to…

break up with you.

Not to mention our scandal...

People point their fingers. I can't keep seeing you like this.

I've finally settled down in the company.

I don't want to ruin everything because of you.

Let's break up.

I'm…

dumping you.

I'm sorry.

I said I'm dumping you.

I'm sorry.

The press...

will soon announce that you are stepping down

from your management position.

Go abroad and rest your mind for the time being.

Tae-young will be in charge of the company.

You should be careful too.

Don't use people like Mr. Bae just because they flatter you.

It's also a superior's duty to find decent subordinates.

Yes, father.

I'll take good care of the commotion.

Don't worry too much.

Yes, of course.

VICE PRESIDENT HA JAE-WOONG

I thought I was almost there.

I'll assign you to another position, so stay there for some time.

Let's consider this a break before another race.

I have respected you.

You gave me your trust.

I wanted to live up to it.

So perhaps…

I needed to stop and tell you what was right at certain moments...

but I couldn't.

I think the time to stop is now.

You gave me a chance, and I made all the choices.

So, I will take responsibility…

for the consequences.

Thank you so much…

for counting on me.

MY LOVE

I packed your stuff.

Superstar Song Mi-na is a bit late.

Please hurry and take your seats.

Thank you all...

for participating in this awards ceremony today.

Today's highlight.

Let me announce the employee of the year.

I can't wait to find out who it is.

All right.

Now we know...

The employee of the year is…

Song Mi-na! Give her a hand!

That's good.

Here you go.

The best employee of the year, Song Mi-na!

After joining Sungun Department Store

while raising two kids for six years as a working mom,

she showed great performance at work,

becoming a role model for the other employees.

We award you this prize and gift for all of your hard work.

Give her a big hand!

Give her the flowers.

Give her the gift as well.

The flowers look expensive and pretty.

EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR

Thank you.

Thank you for all the hard work.

How did you prepare all of this?

This is nothing.

But…

could you keep doing this for just a little more?

I...

requested paternity leave.

-What? -You can't quit now.

I know…

you still want to work.

If you quit now,

you'll definitely regret it.

Even if you quit later,

I don't think now is the time.

But--

You took care of this each time, so I'll do my part this time.

Will you be okay?

I'm just trying to raise my kids during paternity leave.

What can they say?

Of course, my team leader was a little angry.

Anyway, I already requested it.

There's no turning back.

I've gained experience.

I'll do my best to support you.

So just focus on your work.

Thank you!

I didn't mean to make you cry.

Make a lot of money for us.

I have something to tell you.

What?

It's a boy.

Good luck.

Good luck.

That's great!

It's our third son.

So you're sure. We'll be fine.

I've known Sung-jun

since I was young.

So I thought I knew him well.

To be honest...

I'm shocked.

Jung-sun is probably more shocked.

I used to think that it was better...

to not tell people secrets.

But that just leads…

to people hurting each other.

Secrets usually lead...

to bad endings.

I hope you won't keep secrets from me.

You can be honest with me.

Jin-ho...

Can you reveal all your secrets?

I used to weigh 100 kilos before college.

This... is the result of a strict diet.

Your turn now. Tell me yours.

You won't be shocked?

No.

I was the same.

Really?

I can't believe it!

Thank you.

The divorce papers.

I already filled in my part.

Your mother told me…

about your father.

I thought I knew you well...

but I guess I didn't.

You know...

I used to have this dream when I was a kid.

There was this loving couple...

and a child raised with love.

I wanted to make a family where no one feels lonely.

You used to say...

you were able to see us...

getting old together, holding each other's hands.

That's what I thought as well.

I thought I could make such a family with you.

Maybe that's why I liked you so much.

But maybe…

I only saw a part of you that I wanted to see.

I wonder...

If we…

really understood each other?

You did your part.

It's my fault.

You should have told me.

You should've given me a chance to understand.

If did, you would've tried to understand me.

You would've tried to help me, no matter what.

But I couldn't do it.

Jung-sun, I knew how hurt you were by your mother.

So telling you…

that we were the cause...

of pain for someone…

was impossible for me.

If I had told you...

about the truth of my family...

When the vice president gave me those offers...

if I'd discussed it with you...

I guess everything would be different.

That's what I regret.

But still, I can't take it back.

For the last ten years...

you were the most precious person to me.

That's why I couldn't forgive you.

I was really mad at you.

When your mother told me your secret...

I felt sorry for you strangely.

I must have gone through a lot…

to feel only anger.

We should give up now.

I think that's the right choice.

Jung-sun...

I wish you well.

I really mean it.

Goodbye.

My father said...

he doesn't need you anymore if you're not the vice president.

He gave me permission…

to divorce you.

Myung-eun...

Now it's up to me...

if we get a divorce or not.

Please, Myung-eun.

You're the only one I have left.

I'm the only one left…

at last?

I'll watch…

and see how you deal with it.

You'd better get it right this time.

PERSONNEL ORDER

The vice president's men are all being laid off.

They're even getting rid of the prestige team.

The president is changing the whole organization.

I guess so.

No matter what we do down here,

we're all just pieces on their chessboard.

I wonder if Jung-sun is all right.

TEAM LEADER'S OFFICE

I'll be in the VIP lounge.

It seems things have been sorted out.

Do you like... how it turned out?

Whether you like it or not,

it's all over.

Now it's time to start afresh...

for both you and me.

Yes. We should.

What I need... is someone like Mr. Park.

I know...

you're not that type of person.

But for the company, and for me,

we still need someone capable.

Just like you said...

You will continue...

to do what you can in your current position.

Okay.

Ms. Na, my meeting is taking longer than expected.

We'll have to push back our meeting by half an hour.

Okay.

You'll be fine.

You're a strong person.

This will all pass...

and you'll be all right.

Thank you, Mr. Ma.

I hope I can see you smile soon.

Because I really…

admire you.

Thank you.

I'll move that one.

-This one too? -Yes.

Thank you.

Sir...

The rest of them are all expensive.

-Please be careful. -Okay.

Are we finished?

I think we are.

Good job.

Good job.

Good job.

How about jajangmyeon with beer?

I have to go see Mi-na.

No, you can't go.

We'll eat that tonight.

-Will you come home early? -Yes.

We have long nights ahead of us.

Ta-da.

What is it?

A present for moving in together.

Put it on me.

Here.

There.

How do I look?

Gorgeous.

It's pretty.

Thank you.

She's going to show us.

So cute!

He's cute.

He's cute.

He's so cute.

-What a cute baby. -He's so cute.

Here come our sons!

Oh, my boys.

We just saw their little brother.

-My babies. -Unbelievable.

I bathed, clothed, and fed you.

You'd still choose your mom over me?

Fine.

As long as I'm home,

you're getting zero snacks.

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay?

Okay?

Who said that?

Was that Young-jun?

Are you here, Ms. Lee?

Okay?

I'll get changed and be there soon.

Goodness.

Here.

Have it with this.

You don't look like you gave birth two days ago.

Did your third baby come out and deflate you?

My belly is still protruding.

I'm so excited to eat this outside the house.

I was craving freshly cooked cheese.

Enjoy.

Did you move into Mr. Cha's house?

It didn't take long.

I didn't have much stuff anyway.

You might end up marrying him at this rate.

Don't go overboard, seriously.

Knock it off.

You've seen me and Jung-sun.

You really don't need to go down that path.

Once you turn back, it's a hassle with all the papers.

Just keep living this way.

Why are you bringing me up?

-Mi-na is living happily. -Oh yeah?

I've got four sons.

It's so tiring!

Humans refer to a few hopeful cases

and believe they will be one of them.

How foolish of us all.

It's good to be hopeful,

so see what happens.

CONTACT LIST

FATHER

Father...

I'm leaving the country today.

I see.

I'll see you when you get back.

Okay.

Take care.

Oh, you're here!

With kimchi.

Oh, my goodness, gat kimchi.

Nicely fermented and delicious.

Yeah...

This will be great with ramen.

You need to cut down on ramen.

Think about your age and health.

You have a rice cooker too.

Cook steamed rice, and have kimchi with it, not with ramen.

Okay, you brat.

So now you're nagging your dad, too?

You look good.

I feel good.

You aren't dating anyone?

For now...

I want to try becoming happy alone first.

All right. That's not bad either.

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

The wedding information you mentioned.

By the way, I heard that,

this time, it's Ms. Jeon's third wedding.

Yeon-woo...

Our job is to prepare the kind of wedding she wants,

not dig up her past.

Did you post the notice this morning?

No, not yet.

Should I do it myself?

No, sir.

He must've graduated from a nice college too.

CEO KIM NAM-JUN'S MOTHER HAS PASSED AWAY.

How have you been?

Good. You?

Yeah... Me too.

I had this thought after we got divorced...

Would it have been better...

if I'd never met you at all?

But the answer was no.

I'm glad...

to have met you.

I don't regret our time together.

I hope you keep only good memories.

I will.

Thank you.

I really mean that.

Take care.

You too.

Bye.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING VIP.
