(Episode 17)

What do you mean by that?

Shoot. Your dad is a murderer.

He killed Cheap Bong's dad.

Did you just slap me?

Why?

Go ask your dad if I'm wrong.

Don't mess with my woman.

You, don't mess with my woman.

Are you okay?

How could she slap me?

That wicked witch.

I didn't do anything to deserve this!

Tae Hee, stop crying. The kids are watching.

You can say that because you don't know how much it hurts.

She's strong like a man.

Oh, my. Look at my skin. It's swelling.

Poor my soft skin.

Ms. Lee.

What is it?

I met with Tae Hee.

She said something ridiculous about you.

She may be thoughtless, but she doesn't tell lies.

So I'm here to check.

- About Mr. Choi's father's death... - Right.

I'm related to it.

Sit down.

I'll tell you everything.

So Shin Mi's dad even called you over and made sure you kept it a secret?

Yes.

Tae Hee, listen carefully.

We'll keep it only between us until I tell you otherwise.

- Do you understand? - Why?

Okay.

Then,

you really...

Yes.

It was a mistake,

but I was the one who caused his death.

Shin Mi.

Is that why...

you were against Mr. Choi and me?

Yes.

It was unintentional, but I regret making such a mistake.

But consequentially speaking,

I killed Seok Bong's father.

I should go.

Shin Mi.

Give me some time to think.

- I'll go upstairs. - Shin Mi.

I guess she's still feeling down.

Just what happened?

(New Message)

If you're feeling better,

will you tell me what happened?

(Korean Conglomerate Heirs Showing Interest in Rare Metal Business)

"CEO Ha Jun Tae of Buho Trading Company..."

"and Kang Cheol Min of Samgwang Construction..."

"take the lead in finding rare metal mines with other conglomerate heirs."

It is unusual for you to read a book.

I heard this book introduces every secret to becoming rich.

So I borrowed it.

Secrets to becoming rich?

There's no such thing.

Secrets don't make you become rich, but your guts do.

If something seems profitable,

you should have the guts to seize it.

Do you have guts, Seok Bong?

Oh, right.

I think this is Chaga mushroom.

Did you order it?

(Status on Rare Metal Business)

I already had the one you gave me,

so I bought the same one.

I want to feel disappointed in you at ease.

But it won't be easy if I feel grateful for your kindness, even for a bit.

You even made me go to the police station,

but I still let it slide because I understood your situation.

What are you trying to say?

Stop mistreating Ms. Lee.

I won't tolerate it anymore.

You won't tolerate it?

Can you still give me the keys to the motorbike you offered me?

What are you trying to get from this?

Now I'm going to forget...

the memory of driving a motorbike and playing basketball with you.

Back then,

I thought you were such a decent man.

I'll forget that memory too.

And you will stick to the memory you have now?

Then what is your current opinion about me?

A pathetic man...

who threw his conscience out the window for his petty ambition.

My petty ambition?

Too bad.

I need you because of that petty ambition of mine.

Listen carefully.

You will end up coming to me.

No.

I guarantee that will never happen.

By the way,

I hope your feelings for Ms. Boo are genuine.

Mom.

What should I do?

Choi Seok Bong!

What should I do?

What am I supposed to do?

(Kang Cheol Min rests here.)

Hello.

I'm Lee Shin Mi.

(Smart Card)

This is strange. Ms. Lee didn't come to work today.

She never used to miss work or even come late.

Did the sun rise from the west...

No, it didn't.

Yes, I'm unscientific. What are you going to do about it?

Goodness.

The person you dialed isn't available. You'll be directed to voicemail.

Why did you have to die early like that?

Mr. Choi...

missed you so much.

Please forgive my father's mistake.

Only then,

I think I can muster up my courage.

Tell me. What did you talk about with my Soon Mi...

I mean, my Ms. Lee?

Did you call me to ask me that?

When I'm dying after that slap in the face?

Then I would've died long ago when you slapped me.

Tell me.

Just what did you tell her that she even missed work?

Hey.

I had to miss work too because that witch slapped me.

Cheap Bong.

Aren't you worried about me?

Ms. Lee's calling me. Bye.

Where are you?

Cheap Bong.

Cheap Bong!

What...

"My Ms. Lee?"

You only care about Shin Mi. Is that it?

Why do I keep minding him?

Cheap Bong means nothing to me.

Nothing at all.

Ms. Lee?

Go get changed.

Pick it up.

- I don't know how to do this. - Don't give me that excuse.

Just do it.

My father made a mistake.

But I shouldn't make a mistake...

because of his mistake.

It'll be the biggest mistake in my life...

to give up on such a decent man like you.

No, thanks.

I'll wipe it for you.

No.

Why?

If you touch me,

my heart races so hard that it might explode.

Don't be a crybaby.

This is merely enough to explode.

It's nothing compared to how my heart raced earlier.

If you can't believe me, come and try hearing it.

Right?

I'm not going to make a mistake.

What?

I said I'm not going to make a mistake.

Is this in case you might close your eyes again?

What took you so long?

I wondered if you died of a heart explosion.

Did you...

just talk to me without honorifics?

Give me the car keys. I'll be your driver.

Who said you could talk to me like that?

Then who said you could talk to me without honorifics?

Because I...

I can't use honorifics for the woman I kissed.

If you don't like it, take the kiss back.

This is...

What are you waiting for? Let's get going.

How did you...

Did you go to the grave?

Yes.

You should've asked me to go with you.

I didn't think I could tell him if you were there.

Tell him what?

That I'm grateful to him...

for bringing you into this life.

What are you doing? Start driving.

I can't.

I feel nauseous.

Why all of a sudden?

I'm touched to the point of feeling nauseous.

Geez. Start driving already.

Okay. Off we go.

Why are we here?

He was best friends with my father,

so I want to visit him whenever I have time.

My father was the only son without any cousins.

And most of his relatives are abroad.

I feel bad that I have no family to visit,

even when I found my father.

So,

come with me, Soon Mi.

- I... - Stop frowning now.

Good girl.

I bought it as a birthday gift for you.

But I feel so grateful that you came into this world, especially today,

that I couldn't help but give it to you.

How pretty.

By the way,

- will you keep talking to me like that? - Yes.

Let's get off.

It's me.

I didn't get to bring the umbrella and clothes today.

I'll give them to you next time.

She has a huge crush on me.

Joong...

Joong Heon's daughter?

Do you recognize her?

That's right. She's Chairman Lee Joong Heon's daughter.

Tell him something.

It was a mistake.

A mistake?

Please keep talking if you want to say something.

Mr. Ha, it's time for your medication.

- Did you ask for me? - Yes.

Have a seat.

I heard you didn't go to work today.

No.

I understand. You must've been shocked.

Did you refreshen yourself somewhere?

Yes.

I feel ashamed to see you.

You don't have to.

Father.

What you did to Mr. Choi's father by mistake...

I'll make it up to him for the rest of my life.

Are you saying...

Right.

I don't want to give up on him.

Seeing my mother pass away so lonesomely,

I told myself not to let anyone besides me.

But...

he made me open up my heart.

I couldn't even open up to you,

but he let me.

If I lose him,

I will have to close my heart and lock myself in the dark again.

Father,

I don't want to live like that anymore.

Shin Mi.

I know.

You'll be troubled to see Mr. Choi with me.

But Father,

it may be shameless of me,

but please bear with it for me.

I won't trouble you with anything else.

So please let me do as I want with this.

This isn't a problem that can be solved...

just because I bear with it and you make up your mind.

If Seok Bong finds out about the truth...

Leave that up to me.

Until then,

please just watch how I do.

Do you like him that much?

(New Message)

I'm washing my face now,

and I just can't wash my lips.

I wonder why.

(Smart Card)

We plan to promote the Eco Card...

at subway stations, targeting those who use public transportation.

Not to mention putting up posters and installing promotional booths,

we're working on launching branches...

of our associate bank in subway stations.

Since it provides discounts on transportation,

it's natural for us to promote it at subway stations.

We need another marketing strategy to support this plan.

I want you to come up with an idea and prepare for a presentation each.

Ms. Lee.

Why don't we hold a workshop...

to refreshen ourselves and have a meeting there?

The other teams have done it, but to develop a product,

none of us could even take any days off, let alone a workshop.

Right.

Yet you took your day off to have fun as you wanted.

What? I didn't have...

Fine.

Plan a workshop for 2 days and 1 night at a nearby location.

But make sure you're thoroughly prepared for the marketing strategy meeting.

- Yes. - Yes.

Tell us why you wanted to meet us together.

I'm sorry.

My gosh.

What an insincere way to apologize.

It's even scary.

Now I'll get to the point.

Keep it a secret.

Keep what?

Isn't it obvious? What her dad did to Cheap Bong's dad.

You want us to keep it from Mr. Choi?

I will tell him myself.

What will you do for us in exchange?

You like to make deals.

This is a warning, not a deal.

- A warning? - What, a warning?

How shameless! This is just like the Chinese idiom.

"The thief..."

What was it?

"Said there's a thief."

Yes. Whatever he said! You're not the one to give a warning.

You should be begging us on your knees.

Don't mess with Mr. Choi.

You have no right to do that to him.

If someone has to hurt him, that should be me.

Oh, my. Look at her.

She has no reason to be so proud.

Woon Seok, are you going to let her be that arrogant?

Let's leave her to be as proud as she wants while she can.

Should we?

But her arrogant attitude...

is kind of cool. Don't you think so?

Maybe Cheap Bong fell for that side of hers.

"It's a warning. If someone has to hurt him, it should be me."

"Don't mess with Cheap Bong."

But Woon Seok, are we really going to keep it a secret?

If we're to defeat Ohsung, Seok Bong shouldn't leave Shin Mi yet.

They will drift apart at some point but now isn't the time.

Then when will it be?

When he's more deeply involved...

with Ohsung.

I'm sorry for making you come all the way here.

That's okay.

How are you feeling?

I'm all right.

Take this.

Cheol Min.

Your father is in that picture.

Which one is he?

It's good that the Imperial Card is doing well.

Your father seemed dying to brag about it.

When Buho Card merged with Frontier Card,

people talked so much from within the company.

You know that, right?

To subside all those complaints at once,

it should be more than this.

Yes, I'm aware of it.

And...

rumor says that the Imperial Card was an idea...

stolen from Ohsung.

Well, it's just a rumor.

I see.

They say sons-in-law are thieves who steal your daughters,

but I don't want an actual thief to be my son-in-law.

I've once stolen what belonged to someone else too,

but it's a horrible thing to do.

I'll keep that in mind.

You better.

Keep up the good work, then.

Oh, right.

Don't tell lies either.

Everyone who lied to me...

couldn't survive so far.

- Sure. - Good.

And keep Tae Hee under control.

- I'm counting on you. - Yes, sir.

Here.

What is this?

You didn't get to have beef bone soup after you removed your cast.

I often had fractures while playing basketball as a child.

My mom made me beef bone soup every time.

You have to finish this for your bone to heal properly.

Did you make this yourself to feed me?

Yes.

Make sure you finish a whole bowl.

Tae Hee.

I'm sorry, Woon Seok. I'm so sorry.

I don't deserve to have this.

What's wrong?

I try to stop myself, and I don't know why,

but I keep thinking...

Strangely, I keep thinking...

Thinking about what?

I keep thinking about him.

I thought you were the only one I loved.

No, you are the only one I love.

But strangely, I keep thinking about Cheap Bong.

When you two played the piano, Cheap Bong looked cooler.

Back at the amusement park,

I was mad to see him with Shin Mi.

I just don't know why.

You are the one I love. That's for sure.

I know I love you.

I'm sorry, Woon Seok.

There's no need to be sorry.

I'm sorry for making you think of someone else.

What?

It must've been hard for you.

You thought you loved me,

but you kept thinking about him.

Yes. Goodness.

Tae Hee, don't mind anything for now.

Put me, Seok Bong, and our engagement ceremony aside.

Just do what your heart tells you to do.

Really?

- Is that okay? - Of course.

It won't be too late to get engaged when you become sure about your feelings.

Okay?

I have something to report regarding Mr. Ha Jun Tae.

Go ahead.

Seok Bong often visits Mr. Ha in the hospital these days...

with Ms. Lee Shin Mi.

He found out about his father, so why does he keep visiting him?

In my opinion,

he's interested in the rare metal too.

Digging into his background,

I looked into a man named Woo Byeong Do, who's living with him.

He's a little suspicious.

Woo Byeong Do?

Yes.

You just have to look only at me

Mr. Yoo, we aren't off to have fun.

Aren't we?

- Hello, Ms. Lee. - Hello.

- What a nice outfit. - Let's get going.

- Let's go. - Nice.

This seat is taken.

Here...

Woon Seok.

What brought you here early in the morning?

I'm here to ask you out on an official date.

Woon Seok...

Check this out.

These are webfoot octopuses.

- Webfoot octopuses. - Right, webfoot octopuses...

Tae Hee, try touching this.

How is it?

Maybe I had too much raw fish.

I feel stuffy.

Give me your hand.

If I press here, it'll get better.

You feel stuffier, don't you?

You often come here alone when you feel suffocated.

How do you know that?

Of course, I know.

I've followed you around since I was a toddler.

I'm reminded of that time.

("Will Frontier Group Go Down Like this?")

(Chairman Choo is soon to be investigated for raising a slush fund.)

Oh, no. It must hurt so much.

Darn reporters.

Did you watch it all?

I didn't think you'd like it if I acted as I knew.

Don't hurt yourself from now on.

It's painful.

I've given it some thought.

Let's just get engaged quickly.

If I follow my feelings and we end up not getting engaged,

my dad won't try to help your company.

That won't be good at all.

I don't care about my feelings, so let's get engaged soon.

Gosh.

I'd hate to see you suffer because of my dad's change of heart.

I really don't want you to suffer.

Tae Hee, how can you be so...

Here comes the meat.

You need to have Korean beef rib-eye on a day like today.

This is the real fun of field trips.

Look how juicy it looks. I've got to try a bite.

You need to check your hair first. The wig is turned.

Good.

Ms. Han, we're running out of liquor and beverages.

Oh, really? Then I'll go buy some more.

But it's really dangerous for a woman to walk alone at night.

The supermarket is right nearby. I'll go with you.

Let's go.

Okay.

Ta-da.

I've added two spoonfuls of my love and a spoonful of my cute charm...

to your coffee.

Mal Ja, you don't look so well today. Is everything okay?

Did your rude boss harass you again?

No, that's not it.

I just feel a little tired.

Dal Soo.

About your mustache,

aren't you interested in shaving it?

The weather has gotten hot, so it wouldn't be bad to shave...

But this is like my trademark.

If you're bothered to see it,

that means you don't like me anymore.

Oh, no.

I'm just worried it might make you feel hot.

Not at all.

This mustache protects my breathing holes...

from all kinds of dust and harmful substances.

It's like a windbreak.

I guess that's nice.

Woo Byeong Do.

I can't believe you're actually dressed up like a human.

Gosh.

I had an investment briefing about the rare metal business today.

I'm coming back from meeting with the investors.

You must be here to have some coffee.

Yes.

You shaved your mustache.

Yes, I thought...

I looked a little hot with it.

(Convenience Store)

Ms. Lee.

Aren't you hitting on Mr. Choi too much?

Am I?

Let me tell you something,

as a woman with more romantic experience, not as your secretary.

Doing that could tire men out.

- I could tire him out? - Yes.

My ex-boyfriends used to tell me...

that I was pretty and cute,

but they grew tired of me.

When I start liking someone,

I tend to just come on to him.

But you already have feelings.

So shouldn't you come on to him as much as you can?

That's exactly my point.

Are you saying I'm doing well or not?

I don't know. What was I going to say?

I can't believe this.

How come there are such pretty ladies in this remote countryside?

I'm getting the urge to hit on them.

Look, miss.

Why don't we have some caramel macchiato at a cafe that I know?

- Follow me. - What are you doing?

"What are you doing?"

How cute. Do you want to go out with me?

Let go of me. I'm the type of woman who tires men out in time.

- Come on. - My gosh!

Let her go unless you want to get tired for real.

Are you upset that we didn't give you attention?

- You have my attention. Come here. - Get off me.

- I said I'd... - Let go.

- Come here already. - Don't you...

Don't touch me.

- What... - What on earth?

- Oh, my. - Are you okay? Hey.

Are you all right?

- You little... - Hey.

- Unbelievable. - Hey.

- You go. - My goodness!

Grab him.

- I got him. - You little...

- Nice. - Goodness.

- You're dead meat. - Hey, you...

- Nice job. Do your thing now. - My thing?

Here I go.

Why you little...

You wench.

What on earth...

Are you kidding me?

What...

You little wench.

- What... - Don't come.

- Stay away from me. - Goodness.

Why you...

Wait.

What's your deal?

I'm a passerby.

I just called the police and reported that you were fighting here.

What? Guys, get that punk.

Calm down and listen to me.

If you get me now, you may be able to punch me a few times.

But you will end up getting arrested.

So it'll be wise and rational to give up and run away.

Why you little...

What are you doing?

- Oh, no. - Hey!

- Run! - Hey.

- What do we do? - Run!

- Ms. Lee, run! - Goodness.

We've got to set it up in the shape of a sun.

One next to another. There we go.

That's right.

- Like this... - Who piles up the firewood like this?

Watch how I do it.

You've got to pile it up like this for it to catch fire easily.

It doesn't matter how you pile it up as long as it catches fire.

- Goodness. - Have you ever even done this before?

What's going on, Ms. Lee?

On our way back,

we ran into some thugs.

We barely survived.

It seems pretty sweet to say that you barely survived.

- Sitting face to face - Sitting face to face

- Around the campfire - Around the campfire

- We share each other's stories - We share each other's stories

- Endlessly - Endlessly

- Life smokes - Life smokes

- To leave ashes - To leave ashes

- Speechlessly - Speechlessly

Sometimes, I wear a mini skirt

Sometimes, I wear thick makeup

Then I feel

Unfamiliar attention

Since I'm a woman, I send them a smile

Since I'm a woman, I play hard to get

I unwillingly respond to them

And they eventually come to me

No, a little later

Yes, a little later

We don't know much

About each other yet

- Not yet. - No

Good work, everyone.

Let's take this energy and determination to Seoul...

and make sure we bring our project to success.

Cheers to the better Smart Card!

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Let's have some singing time.

Who wants to go first?

If no one wants, I'll go first since I'm the eldest one here.

- I... - I'm the eldest one here.

Mr. Choi, can you play "A Goose's Dream" for me?

No, I'm the eldest one here.

Do you want to see my ID card?

- Let me show you. - Will you knock it off?

Being old is not a privilege.

I'd like you to stop being childish since you're older than us.

How rude.

I'm curious to know. Have you ever even dated anyone before?

Why must I answer that?

If you can't answer it, drink this.

If you can't drink it, answer it.

This is like Truth or Dare.

Oh, right.

Let's play Truth or Dare like we're on an actual field trip.

- Good idea. - Let's do that.

Let's go ahead with it.

Brace yourselves, guys.

- Brace yourselves. - Right.

Mr. Myung.

Do you have a crush on someone?

As if. He's never been in a relationship.

I didn't say I wasn't.

And I can still have a crush on someone regardless.

Then do you have a crush on someone?

Answer yes or no.

Ms. Han.

Yes?

Did you wear your hair in those weird braids yourself?

Is that your question?

Don't you have another question?

- Like if I have a crush on someone. - No.

I've always wondered if you did that weird hairstyle yourself.

Yes.

I do it myself every day.

I see.

You must have it hard every morning.

Mr. Choi.

You're dating someone, aren't you?

Yes.

- Who could it be? - I don't know.

- Who's his girlfriend? - Gosh.

- Skip me. - What?

You can be quite funny sometimes.

Mr. Choi, what are you waiting for? Ask her a question.

Just play fair.

Do you like me, Ms. Lee?

She's not saying no. That means she likes him.

I'll be her white knight.

He's drinking on her behalf.

Why did you come outside alone without telling me?

I looked for you.

Are you okay?

I didn't ask you to be my white knight.

You are in no position to care about my condition.

Why?

Are you worried about me?

Must you ask...

I just think you're pathetic.

You can't even take care of yourself.

So you're worried about me.

You sure are my woman.

This feels nice.

Soon Mi!

Whose woman are you?

I told you not to call me Soon Mi.

Soon Mi, why would you hit me?

I told you not to!

- Don't... - Okay. Fine.

My one and only love,

Soon Mi

Are you kidding me?

If Soon Mi wants

I can do anything

I told you...

Even if it's a star in the sky

Or the moon in the sky

Stop it. Geez.

I'll give it to Soon Mi

The moon or the star, I don't care. You're dead meat.

Stop right there! Hey!

Stop there!

Don't be so cheap, and let me catch you.

There's no being cheap when you get playful with someone.

You better do it properly.

Getting playful twice could kill you, then.

I got you.

So this is what you were going for.

You should've just told me.

Do you feel it?

Do you?

You don't?

It's beating and saying,

"my Soon Mi."

And pounding to say, "You're mine."

I guess you don't feel it.

Are you tearing up, Soon Mi?

I'm just wondering...

if it's okay for me to be this happy.

Close your eyes.

Come on.

Are you that happy?

My Soon Mi has changed. You can cry out of happiness now.

I'm not going to kiss you,

so don't get your hopes up too high.

Thank you.

Actually,

I felt as if my life's effort was all meaningless...

to know that my father was dead.

But...

I found another meaning in life.

A life with you, Lee Shin Mi.

Without you,

I wouldn't be able to withstand it this bravely.

My father's death made my world come crashing down.

But you gave me a way out of it.

Thank you...

for being my reason to live.

Please keep loving me.

You know what this meant to me, right?

Now, I want you to have it.

No.

It's not just anything.

It was from your father.

My father will like what I'm doing.

I said no.

I can't take this.

Your father won't like it.

Your father died,

and so you can't...

see him...

because of my father.

What do you mean?

My father...

caused your father's death.

What do you mean...

by that?
