Sir.

All right.

I said I'd tell you, so I will.

Your father is...

Kang Cheol Min.

He's best friends with Jun Tae.

Kang Cheol Min?

Yes.

He's best friends with Lee Joong Heon too.

Did you just say,

Chairman Lee Joong Heon?

Yes.

Then,

my father...

He's gone.

Pardon?

He died.

It happened quite a long ago.

Is that true? Cheap Bong's dad...

passed away?

That's right.

No way.

If you can't believe me,

go ask Lee Joong Heon.

Apparently, he was there with your father when he died.

Mr. Choi?

Mr. Chairman.

Where is he?

(Episode 15)

What is this about?

I have something to ask him.

Where is he?

My father went through surgery. He's in the ICU now.

Mr. Choi.

What is it? Why do you need to see my father?

Ms. Lee.

My father...

Did you find out who he is?

- My father... - By any chance,

is it a man named Kang Cheol Min?

How did you know?

Then,

you must also know that he's gone.

Unbelievable.

Sit down here.

- What is your problem? - And what is your problem?

What about me?

Why do you care so much about Cheap Bong's business?

It's very suspicious.

What are you talking about?

Well...

It's because I thought he was my younger brother.

Why you...

That turned out not to be true a long time ago.

The thing is...

And then I thought he was my cousin.

Don't make your ignorance too obvious.

It wasn't the case either.

Gosh, whatever.

If you know I'm ignorant,

why did you have to make me confused?

I was just confused.

Geez.

Anyway, snap out of it.

Aren't you head over heels for Woon Seok?

I even went ahead with the merger because you insisted on marrying him...

when it should've been taken more seriously.

I'm a father, after all. Because of you...

Let's just not bother talking.

Anyway, stop hanging out with Cheap Bong.

Still, he had just found out that his father had died.

I don't care.

Don't ever hang out with him.

My father told me...

that your father had passed away.

In case something happened to him,

he let me know.

My father and your father were friends.

Ms. Lee.

I know how shocked you must be.

So,

your father...

also said that my father passed away?

Is it really true...

that my father...

is gone?

Is there any chance that he's still breathing?

What are you doing here?

I heard the chairman was sick.

He was once my future father-in-law.

- Of course, I should visit him. - What?

You're here too, Mr. Choi.

Where's the chairman?

Get out right now. How dare you come here?

This is why I had to tell the chairman to keep his daughter in check.

What?

I'll leave for today.

You got caught enjoying time with your boyfriend...

in your father's hospital room.

I bet you're not so pleased.

Still, take this. It's a token of my little sincerity.

Don't go.

I'll give it back to him.

What does this mean?

Please don't take it too far.

Mr. Choi.

Let me ask you one thing.

Did you also know that my father died?

I see.

You knew.

You found out.

Is that why you came here?

If you found out about your father's death,

it'd only be natural to wonder why Chairman Lee kept it from you.

So, did you come here to ask him why?

Then we're on the same page.

I'm very curious about it too.

Mr. Choi, wait.

Take this with you. You'll have to visit your father's grave.

You're going to visit your father for the first time ever.

You shouldn't go empty-handed.

I usually repay much more than what I get, but I'll let it slide today.

Because I feel bad for your life that you wasted looking for a dead father.

Don't.

He's not even worth dealing with.

Come on.

- Hello. - Hello.

We'll monitor him here for a day...

and move him to a regular room if nothing particular happens.

Be extra careful so he won't do anything to strain his heart or feel stressed out.

He needs absolute rest.

- Okay. - Well, then.

You must have a lot of questions for my father...

but don't for the time being,

please.

(Choo Woon Seok)

Just in case you don't know where your father's grave is.

What's wrong?

Why did you need the address of Mr. Choi's father's grave?

If lucky, I might be able to do what my father couldn't.

What do you mean?

Seok Bong found out about his father and that he had passed away.

But how?

I think he heard it from Chairman Boo.

This is for the better.

My father was wrong.

Without making use of Seok Bong,

we can't find a secret that can be a threat to Chairman Lee.

We must fight him head-on.

I'm stepping outside to visit Tae Hee's house.

Yes.

I told him.

But how did you know?

Because I would've done the same.

- You would have? - Yes.

Digging up Chairman Lee's secret while Seok Bong was in the dark...

and threatening him with it to get what we wanted from him.

That was my father's plan, but I thought differently.

Then what is your plan?

The same as yours, I think.

Me?

What do you think my plan is?

Dad, the drink is ready.

(Just in case you don't know where your father's grave is)

(256-1, Jisan-ri, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon)

What?

Have you been staring at it all night?

Hey.

Geez.

(Kang Cheol Min rests here.)

Ms. Lee, this is the material you should review before today's meeting.

- Ms. Lee. - What?

Are you worried because of the chairman?

Please don't be too worried.

I know because my grandma did the same surgery.

He just needs to be careful.

I see. Thank you.

Hasn't Mr. Choi come yet?

No.

He shouldn't be missing work without notice.

I'm just going to say that he called me in advance...

and requested to take a day off.

No, that's not fair.

Maybe he has his reasons for missing work.

I can do that much for him considering our relationship.

What is your relationship with him?

Pardon?

Well, what I mean is...

Don't try to use any tricks.

- You're so inflexible. - What did you say?

People are complaining that Mr. Choi's doing whatever he pleases,

thinking the chairman has his back.

Still, no tricks are allowed.

Handle it according to the rules.

Yes, ma'am.

My father...

is gone.

I looked so much for him.

I waited so much for him...

I wish I could see him at least once.

I wish I could hold his hand at least once.

I wish...

I could call him Father at least once.

Why didn't I even imagine that my father...

would be gone?

Like a fool...

Like a fool,

why didn't I even see such a thing coming?

Why did I...

think I could see and meet my father...

without getting to think...

that I could visit his grave instead like this?

Had I been clueless,

it would've been better.

I wish...

I didn't know any of this.

I shouldn't have...

looked for him.

I should've just missed him,

thinking he'd be alive somewhere.

I feel so bad...

that my father passed away without even knowing about me.

I wish he'd met me before he died.

I wish...

he'd held my hands at least once before he died.

I wish...

he'd heard me call him father before he died.

I feel so sorry for my father.

According to the performance report on our Win-Win Card,

we're constantly getting new college clients.

That's good.

Mr. Yoo, make sure the Win-Win Card keeps doing well.

Mr. Myung, please work harder on developing the Eco Card.

- No, I can't do that. - Excuse me?

Why is that?

Mr. Choi and I are developing this card together.

So I won't make any further progress until Mr. Choi comes back to work.

I'm telling you to work harder...

- because he isn't here. - No, ma'am.

This is a joint development.

But Mr. Choi hasn't come to work without prior notice.

Why must I fill in the void of this irresponsible colleague?

He's proving that the prejudice against nepotism hire is true.

Until he's back to work, I'll reconsider developing this product.

Then what will you do in the meantime?

- Will you slack off? - No.

I'll make copies.

Aren't you tired? Take a seat.

- I'll get you something to drink. - Okay.

Woon Seok.

You don't have to put a diamond ring in that beverage.

I already got a necklace.

That sounds scarier than telling me to put one in.

Tae Hee, can you play some music with the remote control over there?

Okay.

(Kang Cheol Min's grave: 256-1, Jisan-ri, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon)

"Kang Cheol..."

Cheap Bong's dad?

I don't know where his grave is.

If you want to know,

go ask Lee Joong Heon.

Why aren't you playing music?

Oh, okay.

Here comes the music.

Are you awake?

What happened?

You were unconscious for a moment.

Mr. Ha asked us to lay you down here.

Did he speak?

No.

He's been here for such a long time...

that we can communicate with him by reading his face.

Your clothes were wet.

He wants you to put these on instead.

I'm sorry.

I must've surprised you.

I will give you back these clothes later.

I should go now.

It's such a relief that he's recovering well.

I was so worried to think what I should do if something happened to him...

that I couldn't even sleep.

By the way, did something happen to Webfoot Octopus?

- Why do you ask? - Oh, I heard this...

from the guy living with Webfoot Octopus.

He said Webfoot Octopus stayed up all night...

and stormed outside at dawn yesterday.

He didn't come to work, did he?

I'm worried whether he's gotten another health issue.

Just take good care of my father.

I'm already taking good care of him.

Hello?

Where are you?

- I'm at the hospital. - The hospital?

Why? Are you sick?

How? How sick are you...

My father was moved out of the ICU.

Fortunately, he's recovering well.

I'll see when...

Will you...

hold my hand?

Let's just stay like this...

for a moment.

Now I've realized

I'm going to

Be rich

Did you ask me to come upstairs to make me listen to this song?

What do you think?

I'm going to enter a music festival with this.

Isn't it nice?

If I win first place there,

I'll dedicate it to you, my Gang Sook...

Talk to me with honorifics. You're two years younger than me.

Just come downstairs for dinner.

Your dad's grilling meat in my house again.

Okay.

- Let's go downstairs. - Hey.

Why you little...

- Let go of me. - Gosh, you're killing me.

- Gosh. - Oh, my.

I came to check if you were back.

Are you sick?

You look so pale.

Hey, I'm hurting more.

Blow some air on here for me.

Why you...

Wait. Hey, what is this?

It has the same symbol as the one on Seok Bong's necklace.

Where did you get this?

But my dad told me to keep it a secret.

Your dad? Why?

My dad wanted me to be careful...

not to tell anyone about the secret behind this symbol.

Does he know about the secret behind this symbol?

Take one piece per leaf of lettuce.

This is expensive Korean beef rib-eye.

Then I'll have three leaves of lettuce too.

Do you know about this symbol?

- I do. - Wait.

That symbol is on your necklace too.

Hold on. You're right.

Why do you have this bracelet?

Tell me.

Tell me what you know about this symbol.

No, start with how you found out about it.

Do you still not get it?

How do you think I managed to pick your necklace...

in that wide fishing area?

Why do you think I'm living off your house...

of all those places out there?

What do you mean by that?

I'm not someone who has lots of time to kill.

Do you still think...

I'm a beggar?

Mr. Woo.

Who are you?

I am...

Dad.

It's not time to tell them yet.

I am...

- your father. - What?

What...

Well,

Seok Bong's necklace is made with rare metal or something.

Does it have...

something to do with your rare metal business?

Hold on a second.

What?

Tell me.

You said you had this boy at the age of 20 before you even got married.

Now, are you saying you had Seok Bong when you were 15?

I don't know.

I told you not to do this one. It's obviously a lie.

I didn't get to think of that.

What? Are you kidding me?

How could you lie about such a thing?

Say it again.

Who are you?

Say it again.

What?

That I'm your father?

All right.

So be it.

You can be my father.

I don't care, even if it's a lie.

Tell me that you're my father.

I just want to hear it.

I don't care who it is.

I just want my father to be alive.

Get out of here right now. I may be a kind-hearted man,

but I can't stand you anymore.

Coveting my precious daughter wasn't enough...

that you tell lies about Seok Bong's father to mess with him?

You ungrateful people.

Don't you dare come here again.

I said I wouldn't do it.

You're the one who made the bracelet.

I wore it without letting him know in case this happened.

You didn't buy me anything at all, Dad.

Like Seok Bong,

I wanted to have the one and only thing...

from my father.

Did you?

Anyway, when you said, "I'm your father," to Seok Bong earlier,

- you sounded legit. - Right?

For a moment there,

I felt like I really was his father.

Don't tell me you had a son before you had me.

- I know you lied about your age. - Why you little...

Go sleep inside with your father.

I wonder if he knows where the grave is.

If he could just call me, I'd let him know.

- Tae Hee. - Geez.

What?

Aren't you going to visit the orphanage again?

Why would I go there again?

No, I'm not going.

But why do you ask?

Well,

I keep seeing someone whenever I read a book.

I'm too distracted to study.

I want to go and tell her not to show up.

What are you saying?

Do you want to go there?

Then spend a lot of money nonstop.

Then our dad will send you there.

It's a joke.

- Oh, Tae Kyung. - What?

What do you think about this?

Think about what?

Someone forgot to take this. It's someone else's, not mine.

What do you think I should do with this?

Answer me exactly as you learned from school.

- You should give it back to its owner. - I should give it back, right?

Okay.

Where are you taking it with your injured arm?

Tae Kyung's teacher said I should give it back to its owner.

- Right? - Yes.

Are you going to meet Cheap Bong?

No, you can't.

I'm trying to do something right for a change.

The chairman wants you to focus on preparing for your engagement.

And today, you have to go remove that cast.

Hey.

This is unlike you to do something humane.

Seeing how you're managing to eat,

I guess the surgery went well.

Why? Are you disappointed that I'm alive?

No.

If you die first, life will get too boring for me.

Stay alive until you become senile.

Now I lost my appetite.

Geez.

But why?

It looks delicious.

Oh, goodness.

They make nice side dishes here.

I better come to this hospital from now on.

Are you here to stuff yourself?

Will you leave now?

By the way,

didn't Seok Bong come here?

He did, didn't he?

What did he say?

You are...

hiding something, aren't you?

I'm not you.

- Stop talking nonsense, and get out. - Gosh.

- Come on. - Get out now.

- I know you're getting discharged today. - Gosh.

You aren't going to eat this anyway.

Goodness. Fine. Stuff yourself, and get out.

- For goodness' sake. - You prick.

Do you even see anything?

Then again,

you must miss your dad too much to see anything.

What are you doing here?

This is my turf, you punk.

Anyway, did your late father...

turn out to be a rich man?

Are you sad or disappointed...

that your rich father is dead?

- What are you saying? - I mean, think about it.

You've never seen your father even once.

Ever since you were born, your father was like a dead man to you.

You neither knew what he looked like nor whether he even existed.

So why would you be this sad to know that he's dead?

Maybe you're just disappointed that you can't become rich...

by finding your father as you hoped.

Something caught the bait.

Oh, dear.

It's tiny fish of all kinds.

You tiny little fish.

You don't deserve that necklace.

What should I do?

It wants to live.

Should I let it go or not?

He made a necklace with rare metal way back in the past.

It means he was a man...

with great insight, although not as good as Bill Gates.

Why don't you keep letting yourself be swayed by what others say...

and look for your dead father for the rest of your life?

All right, you're free.

He fell asleep. You can go on and rest now.

No, I can never do that.

I'll attend to him all night.

Just refrain from stepping outside for the time being.

Sure, I guess I must.

And be extra careful to follow the doctor's instructions.

I'm doing it with no mistakes.

(New Message)

Soon Mi. Try going to the fishing area.

Your boy's acting miserable there.

From Rib-eye.

"Soon Mi?"

Why are you staring at me?

Ms. Lee.

Is my face perhaps glowing?

It's because I'm in love.

- I'm stepping outside for a bit. - Ms. Lee.

It'd be cheap to do that after telling me not to step outside.

Oh, of course.

Go on ahead. A butler should stay at his workplace.

A butler should stay and keep the house...

unless he can be Lee Soon Mi.

Where on earth am I?

Who was that? You just chased all the fish away!

- Hello, Ms. Lee. - Mr. Choi, where are you?

Me?

- I'm in the fishing area. - I'm in the fishing area too.

I'm sure I took the same path,

but all I see are weird trees.

Why did you come here alone late at night?

You're so fearless for a woman.

Why would you bring my gender up?

A woman can come here alone!

Whatever.

Come get me.

Gosh, it's too dark to see anything. It's remote and spooky.

Goodness, gracious!

Ms. Lee?

Ms. Lee!

Ms. Lee.

Ms. Lee!

The phone is turned off.

Ms. Lee!

Who are you? Just who are you...

- Well... - Why are you yelling at me?

This man helped me find the way.

He helped me find my phone battery too.

What...

I was worried sick about you.

Geez, I went through the trouble for nothing.

- They're ridiculous. - Wait.

What did you just say?

He said we were ridiculous.

I'm grateful for your help,

but he was worried sick about me.

He hugged me because he was happy and grateful to see me.

You shouldn't call that ridiculous.

Take that back immediately.

We'll say we didn't hear it, so please leave.

But we clearly heard it.

Take it back right now.

- Mr. Choi, where are you going? - Goodness.

Are you angry?

You may be angry, but we should continue what we've been doing.

Don't tell me that was all.

Open your arms.

Come on.

Now close your arms.

Why did you come here?

I bet it wasn't for fishing.

What about you?

Me?

I came here to catch someone.

I thought I was...

looking for my father...

because he was my father, although I never got to see him.

Blood is thicker than water, after all.

But perhaps,

that may not have been the case.

Maybe I was attracted to money, not blood.

Maybe I was...

looking for a rich man,

not my father.

I doubt it.

You were looking for your father, and he just happened to be rich.

Even if he'd been penniless,

you would've tried so hard to find him.

Just like how you risked your life to save me.

I know that's the kind of person you are.

You said you wanted to make your father proud.

Then cheer up first.

Even at this moment,

your father must be watching you from above...

to see if you are doing well or not.

I'll see if I can arrange a meeting with my father...

so you can ask him whatever you want to know...

Let's leave before it gets too late. I'll take you home.

I'm not leaving.

Then?

I'll sleep over here.

How could you say that you'd sleep over? You're too fearless for a woman.

Why would you bring my gender up again?

And I've slept here before.

Honestly speaking,

I don't know what my father will tell you.

I want to spend some time with you like this before then.

I'm just saying.

All right, then.

Don't kick the blanket, and sleep tightly.

Already?

You have to go to work tomorrow. It's already too late.

Fine. Then put me to sleep.

Are you okay?

Gosh, my head.

I think I got a bump here.

This song is

The only thing I can give

This voice is

The only thing I have

I can't be sure

If this will make you smile

I still try...

What?

Geez.

Why aren't you asleep?

I've been singing lullabies for an hour now.

My voice is gone. Can't you hear it?

But I can't sleep.

It's not like I can force myself to sleep.

Why can't you sleep?

Oh, I get it.

You lose sleep as you get older. Could that be it?

What?

I've been known to be sleepless since I was little.

My mom had to put me to sleep on her back until I was nine.

There are 60 rats

No, 70 rats

No, 80, 90, 100 rats

Meow

A cat shows up

Meow

The cat is mad

The rats run away

Ms. Lee.

Are you asleep?

No.

Please fall asleep.

You talked to me when I was about to sleep.

Actually, I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Brace yourself.

Or you'll be shocked.

Ms. Lee Shin Mi.

I...

I...

I'm dying here.

You're honestly too heavy.

Goodness.

I'm not heavy at all!

- What did you eat before coming here? - A meal.

- I think I hurt my back. - Get up.

Get up now. Give me a piggyback again.

You've got to be joking.

I'm going to cherish it since it has Woon Seok's handwriting.

Maybe I shouldn't have thrown out the one with Cheap Bong's handwriting.

"Good job." It was a compliment I got after such a long time.

Now that you removed the cast,

- you should go back to work. - To work?

Right, I should.

If I leave the office unattended for too long, the staff will complain.

The employees are just delighted...

because the good-for-nothing adviser isn't coming...

Ms. Yoon Mal Ja.

- Do you want to experience pain? - No.

Then Ms. Boo.

I'll have the car ready. Get ready and come outside.

Where is he?

He was not in the office.

Hang out this laundry.

My goodness. Unbelievable.

Why are you alone today? You guys are usually like salt and pepper.

Salt and pepper? What are you saying?

Oh, Ms. Yoon?

If you tell me where Cheap Bong is,

I'll fully support you in working things out with Ms. Yoon.

Fully?

I'll toss her over to this side so that Bulldog can't have her.

I just can't believe this.

Where on earth did she go?

This must be it. She went to meet Cheap Bong.

The grave?

He even missed work.

It has to be his late father's grave.

Where is the grave?

Oh, right!

- Leave the backpack here. - Well,

I'm going there to hand this to him.

I have no other intentions whatsoever.

What brought you here at this hour?

Did sleeping out affect you in any way?

What?

Did you sleep out?

I'm going in to meet my father. Have lunch in the meantime.

- You said you craved homemade food. - Ms. Lee.

The thing is,

the chairman disappeared without saying a word.

What do you mean?

Well, while I was talking on the phone for a slight moment...

Are you sure it was a slight moment?

Yes. It sure was a slight moment from my perspective.

Of course, depending on how others see it,

it could be a very long time.

I'm really sorry.

Just where could he have gone in that condition?

The nursing home?

Yes.

Hire someone to watch it.

But why there?

As far as I know,

Ha Jun Tae is unable to live on his own.

Why don't you start focusing on our business...

- with Buho? - No.

If we are to make proper use of this business item in one go,

we need his help.

Goodness.

Mr. Chairman.

Are you okay?

Yes, I am.

How did you know about this place?

Chairman Boo told me.

Chairman Boo did?

I see.

You haven't fully recovered yet.

Why did you come all the way here?

Why don't we sit down?

I bet you have questions for me.

That's right.

Why I feigned ignorance when I knew who your father was?

Yes.

All right. I will tell you.

Your father, Cheol Min,

was one of my closest friends.

Yes, I heard.

I wish our relationship were just that.

He was also my late younger sister's lover.

Her lover?

You mean, the one who wrote that letter?

But...

my sister was engaged to someone.

Then...

Of course, my sister loved him...

enough to exchange love letters with him behind her fiance's back.

She loved him so much that when he died in an accident,

she followed him.

I don't understand.

She killed herself.

But then,

after you showed up, I discovered something.

Cheol Min wrote those love letters to my sister,

but he gave your mother his necklace.

The one with the same symbol on it.

He loved my engaged sister and made her commit suicide.

But he actually had a son out of wedlock,

and that son came to meet me.

How was I...

supposed to accept it?

Now, do you understand why I feigned ignorance?

I know you have more questions,

but will you just leave for today?

It's still hard for me to face you...

as the son of Cheol Min, who was once my sister's lover.

What about you?

I'd like to be alone...

with my friend.

Hello, Ms. Lee.

My father disappeared without a word, and he's not better yet.

He's here.

Where?

My father's grave.

His grave?

Where is it? I'll be there.

Oh, never mind.

Can you escort him back home?

Okay.

Did you see him?

The young man just now is your son.

His back looks just like you.

I'm sure you wonder why I didn't tell him the important part.

I couldn't bring myself to it.

I guess...

I don't have the courage to tell him that.

I know you wouldn't forgive me.

But I resent you just as much.

Why did I have to cause you to end up like this?

Only if there hadn't been that accident...

You are...

I don't understand.

Then the one who caused Cheap Bong's father to die is...

Mr. Chairman.

(Becoming a Billionaire)

Is that true?

I know what I heard.

Is Cheap Bong aware of this too?

- I don't think Shin Mi's dad told him. - Hey, Cheap Bong.

- Do you feel sad? - I don't think my father was someone...

honorable enough to see my mother.

This seems like Chairman Lee's weakness...

that my dad and Woon Seok were trying to find out.

Shouldn't I let my father know about this, then?

It's his life-long wish to defeat Shin Mi's dad. Don't you agree?

It seems to be because of Soon Mi.

Who's Soon Mi?

I don't even know her name

But I saw this woman in my dream

I can't wait any longer.

Tell me what my father told you.

To think how anxiously I wondered what my father told you...

So what will you do? What will you do about us?
