(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)

(A Good Friend to Meet)

(Episode 13)

Come with me right now.

Will you let go of me?

What's up with you?

How dare you come here?

- "How dare I?" - What did you think you could do?

Who do you think you are?

I told you not to take the director lightly.

Joo Woo Jin isn't someone you can go after.

He shouldn't be ridiculed for the likes of you.

Ms. Choi.

You know you're crossing the line, right?

- You can't talk to me like... - Shut it.

I won't accept anything else that could harm his future.

Just disappear!

Ms. Choi!

What are you two doing here?

Yong Su Jeong the show host.

Ms. Choi is your superior.

What kind of attitude is that?

Ms. Choi, are you being too lenient toward your subordinates?

I don't know why you're here and what this fight is about...

but take it somewhere else.

It's not a pretty sight.

They're both so rude.

Sorry. I was so focused.

Are you here about my post?

Why did you do it?

Why did you tell everyone your weakness?

What for?

My weakness?

I did all I could to hide it until now,

but then I thought I shouldn't have to.

You said honesty was the best policy.

That was your best policy?

You admitted you were psychologically unstable.

Who would trust and follow your decisions after that?

Don't you think about the company?

That's the price I must pay.

Yong Su Jeong is more important than the company?

What are you afraid of?

That she and I will get closer?

Or that I'll go against you?

That you'll lose sight of your purpose and run loose.

Your grandma...

You can never let your guard down around her.

Don't you know that?

Are you even sure she's an enemy?

- What? - Grandma.

She was concerned for me.

She asked if I was very unwell...

and if medicine would cure it.

I didn't expect her to care about that.

I'd kept quiet...

because I thought you'd get stressed out if I made a fuss.

Yes.

I wouldn't have minded if she'd turned a blind eye like you did.

Panic attacks aren't a big deal these days.

So don't worry.

Grandma said...

silly rumors went away in no time.

So you'll just let this slide?

I'll take care of it, Mother.

I plan to do a really good job with the company if anything.

You'll try to be independent?

If that's what you want, I should respect it.

Okay, then. What is done is done.

You might as well have a nice break while you're here.

Have you heard...

that old proverb?

"To burn down a hut just to kill a bedbug."

What about that proverb?

From now on,

don't try to use me to take care of an employee.

I won't be able to protect you then.

What?

I told you nothing remained secret forever.

Don't trust others too much.

Especially journalists.

I'll tell you.

My source.

Secretary Na Jin Ki from Masung Group.

Secretary Na Jin Ki.

He's Grandma's personal aide,

but he's loyal to Jang Myung Chul.

And Jang Myung Chul...

Are you...

interrogating me?

No. I'm making a request.

That you stop now.

You said we only had...

each other.

Hello.

Didn't you silence the journalist?

Oh, the journalist.

That was the leak. I apologize.

I'll take care of it.

Woo Jin has grown up.

He seems to want to be independent.

Just now,

there was a fierce fight out here over him.

A fierce fight?

(Gen MZ Cheers for Rich Heir's Humanity Support Gathers After Honest Confession)

Why did Woo Jin make this kind of decision?

(New Life OB-GYN)

So, have you made any progress?

Well,

the ultrasound was taken at Hayoung OB-GYN.

It looks like the doctor's daughter inherited and renamed the clinic.

It has been a long time, so that's possible.

- And? - And...

there's no way I can go inside.

- What? - Come on.

I'm out here on my own, and I'm getting weird looks.

The recent fried shrimp incident made me a bit famous.

That's why it's such a problem.

- Instructor Yeo. - Yes?

You said it was give and take.

I gave you money.

Doesn't that mean it's my turn to take?

I understand.

Get back to it.

(New Life OB-GYN)

It's no big deal.

Who says a guy can't be here?

You can do this, Yeo Eui Ju.

Mr. Yeo Eui Ju?

Yes?

That's me.

This way?

Who comes to a hospital to visit the sick these days?

How dare that darn Jin woman call me over?

Darn it.

Gosh.

Will she mock me for coming empty-handed?

Should I have bought some juice or something?

Goodness.

I'll get a couple of canned sodas.

What's going on? Did it just take my money?

Hey, cough it back up.

You darn machine.

Oh, dear.

Press the button gently instead of kicking it.

Who the...

Sorry for punching you, vending machine.

I'll press the button gently now.

Come on out.

I'm asking nicely. Give the lady her soda.

Good for you.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Keep pushing the button.

If it stops working again, talk to it nicely instead of hitting it.

Machines hate violence just like us people.

There's a saying you shouldn't hit anyone even with a flower.

Red Scarf...

gave me a red soda.

Will you...

Oh, no.

Is Red Scarf unwell or hurt?

Why does he look so sweet in that patient gown?

(Director Choi Hye Ra)

Ms. Min hasn't said anything to me either.

I think she's going to wait and see how things play out.

What happened to the guy from Security?

I don't know either.

Mr. Jang is in charge of that.

Find out where he went.

He can't be too hard to find. It's not like he's dead.

Okay. I'll check.

If you pull harder than they push, they will be drawn to you.

I will get my way in the end.

Wait and see.

Is Choi Hye Ra insane?

How should I crush her?

Gosh.

Your father's asleep.

Is he still unwell?

The doctor said it was a vagal syncope,

but we did some tests just in case.

We'll get the results tomorrow.

Is it an anger thing?

I'm sick with anger myself.

Why? Joo Woo Jin went on Instagram...

and announced that you didn't do anything.

Don't even mention that.

What was he thinking?

It's so strange. So very weird.

What are you upset about?

If that's what Joo Woo Jin said, isn't it game over?

Everyone's saying you'll be back soon.

I doubt that.

Someone who wants me gone is still in our office.

What do you mean?

Don't even go there. I can't stand Choi Hye Ra.

Forget about her.

She hated your guts from day one.

Was it her?

No, right?

No way.

It can't be.

Right.

What would she get from starting a rumor about you?

I might get something if I look for the guy from Security,

but no one wants to mention him.

I'll look into what you mentioned earlier.

Okay. You visited yesterday and today.

Thanks a lot.

You know you're my best friend, right?

You are my partner

Forever my partner

Oh, gosh.

That sounds too sad for my liking.

Don't worry too much.

Get back to work soon and start selling out again.

I miss the studio so much.

When I was there every day, I talked about feeling burned out...

and wanting to have a better work-life balance.

I guess I'd forgotten how much I loved...

the home shopping job.

I can do so much better if I get to go back.

You'll get your way.

Joo Woo Jin is there looking over you.

I told you we weren't dating.

He has his own issues,

and I want to find out who did this to me.

Okay, point taken.

Are you going home?

Yes. I need to see if Mr. Suite is managing the place well...

and get some clean clothes.

Good on you.

A head-on approach?

That's not your mother's style.

It's my style.

Okay.

Younger people these days seem to value honesty more.

Do you have a plan for the aftermath?

You saw how it didn't harm our stock price.

None of the directors complained either.

They're probably still waiting and watching.

It's hard to react right away when something unexpected happens.

What happens next is important.

Shock therapy only works once.

Yes. I know that.

Was your grandma worried?

Why wouldn't she be?

Woo Jin.

Do you really think I told a reporter about my son's problems?

What happened to Yong Su Jeong is just as weird and nonsensical.

Let her return to work.

Keeping her at home after I confessed will only make me look bad.

We must hold a disciplinary hearing and follow protocol.

- No. - There's nothing to discuss.

It's up to me, and I make the decision.

Don't I look different?

Are you pretending to be slow or do you really not care?

Why did you call me this late?

I needed a pick-me-up,

so I got my hair done and redid my makeup.

I got a manicure too.

I value myself.

When I'm upset,

instead of harming myself, I prefer to pamper myself.

Today required a lot of pampering.

What do you want to say now?

Is it about Yong Su Jeong the employee?

Or Yong Su Jeong the woman?

If you felt your employee had been wronged...

and you defended her as a leader, I'll try to understand somehow.

But if it's because you noticed her as a woman,

I can't.

- You can't? - That's right.

I can't.

Why?

Because my feelings for you...

run so deep that someone like her can't even compare.

Because I trust in the power of time we've known each other.

I'm going to go full steam ahead.

I won't let myself get pushed aside...

because I must mind you or Ji Woo.

- What are you talking about? - You know how I feel about you.

I don't expect you to come willingly.

Just don't push me away.

Please don't.

Can you please stop?

I heard you were leaving tomorrow.

How would I feel knowing this is how you'll spend your last night here?

Hey. How could you make your mother do the cleaning?

Shall I cancel your honorary title?

See, Mom? I said he'd tell me off.

Don't scold my Eui Ju.

What I meant was...

Eui Ju. I'll go and wash this.

Okay, Mom.

She's so stubborn. No one can beat her.

You're smart in a sly way.

I haven't seen the celebrity in a while.

- What celebrity? - Yong Su Jeong.

Did you read the news today?

That Joo Woo Jin guy's a real man.

Did you think he was a woman?

Why are you all riled up?

If he wanted to look good, he should've stepped up sooner.

Why wait until the damage was done?

Was he testing the waters?

Yeo Eui Ju, you're acting weird.

This is suspicious.

You're both celebrities.

Is this jealousy I'm sensing?

- Mom! My director is teasing me! - I am not.

- Your son... - I'm not.

Gosh. You must be tired, Mom.

You should've gone lightly on the cleaning.

No, I'm not tired at all.

I liked being with Eui Ju.

Sorry, Mom.

I should've taken you to places to see and eat nice things.

Let's do that on your next visit.

I ate something nice.

Director Kook bought me pork cutlet.

Let's visit my landlord in the hospital tomorrow morning.

There's enough time before your bus leaves.

Why? You don't want to go back?

No. I'll go back.

Monk Chunjin's waiting for me.

That means there's something between them.

How can I use this?

Have you located the guy from Security?

You haven't done anything, Ms. Myung?

You said Secretary Na worked for Jang Myung Chul.

Wouldn't he have done the actual work?

Look into him.

No.

Let's break up.

Jang Won.

Go. Just go.

Get lost! Leave!

My life turned upside down when you showed up! Just go!

- What's going on? - Leave me alone!

Go away!

- Goodness. - How could you talk like that about me?

If you won't walk away, I'll wait here until you do!

My gosh.

What is the matter with me, seriously?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Oh, right. Hye Ra.

What's wrong with that Joo Woo Jin?

Is he a knight in shining armor?

Hye Ra.

Didn't you hear me?

What's wrong with him?

Wait, Mom.

It's rude to go empty-handed.

Mom, sit down.

Will you wait here? I'll go and get some pastries.

Okay.

Aren't you Mr. Yeo's mother?

The bad girl.

No.

My name is Yong Su Jeong.

Yong Su Jeong.

Yes, Yong Su Jeong.

Why are you here? Did you come alone?

No. I came here with Eui Ju.

Eui Ju went to get some pastries.

I hope you're healthy.

Did you get to look around Seoul?

Hey.

Your lips are dry.

This helps. Put some on.

No, I...

It's nice and moist, isn't it?

You look like you got your lips filled up.

I only used this once.

Put it on your lips whenever they feel dry.

No, it's okay.

Because of me last time, you got scared and worried.

I feel bad about it.

It's okay.

Gosh.

Take care, then.

Hello?

- Mom. - Hey.

- Sorry for the wait. Let's go. - Okay.

I should've visited much sooner.

How do you feel?

They keep drawing my blood to figure out what's wrong.

It's such a shame.

I wish they'd return the blood after they're done.

How have you been?

I'm really sorry I look like this...

when we meet again after a long time.

What? You two met each other before?

We have. I told you that...

I scanned you from head to toe.

What do you keep saying you saw?

It would've been nice if my daughter had been here to say hi as well.

I wonder where sweet Shim Chung is.

She says she'll look after me, but she's never around.

What time is her bus?

The morning visit's over.

It's time to take your blood pressure.

We'll get going, then.

Get well quickly.

I will.

Get home safely. I hope we meet again.

I saw our team leader earlier, and she looked really calm.

I thought the aftermath of yesterday would last,

but she looked radiant.

Maybe she's bipolar.

She screamed at me yesterday.

She didn't curse, but she yelled and spoke so rudely.

She made such a fuss.

Lee Doo Hyuk. The guy from Security.

He's from Incheon,

so he hung out with colleagues from that area.

Even before he was let go, he talked about how he'd travel abroad.

He said something about staying somewhere for a month.

Then he could've gone abroad.

My goodness.

You should've come a little sooner. Where were you?

Is something wrong? Are you in pain?

No. Don't worry about me.

You know tomorrow is your parents' death anniversary, right?

What? Oh, right.

I bet you were too distracted to remember.

I heard you took time off because of me.

You might as well visit the temple and pray for them.

It's the first death anniversary...

since you left their ashes with Monk Chunjin.

Okay. Thanks, Dad.

It would've been nice if you'd gone with them.

I've been here in bed for so long that my mind isn't as sharp as before.

- Go with whom? - Never mind.

Pack up and leave soon.

There aren't many buses there, so it'll be hard to get the timing right.

Go on.

Okay.

Don't just nod. Get moving.

Okay.

(To Cheorwon)

I can finally get some sleep.

Do you like your new phone?

Yes. It's really nice.

It's nice and loud.

The sounds on my old phone were too quiet.

I should've gotten you a new phone sooner.

Sorry, Mom.

Don't lose it again.

Don't leave this on a bus.

Okay. I won't ever lose it.

I'll talk with Eui Ju every day now.

(To Cheorwon)

Hello, Chunjin.

Oh, goodness.

Why did you disappear like that without a word?

Sorry.

The place felt so empty without her.

I can relax at last.

Oh, right.

It's time for the offering.

Wait.

If you rush off like that, Eui Ju will get the wrong idea.

He'll think I treat you like a servant.

I have to hurry. Bye.

Ms. Lee!

What was it like to spend a few days with her?

- Was it nice? - Of course.

She got so much brighter in the past few days.

How about letting her stay with you?

With me?

She misses you a lot.

Did you not meet her in Seoul?

I thought you'd come by together.

- Who do you mean? - You didn't meet Mr. Yong's daughter?

I didn't. Do you know her well?

I do.

Chunjin, can you hurry?

Eui Ju, can you go and help out?

Okay, I guess?

Yes, Dad. I scoured the market...

and bought the prettiest fruit, so stop worrying and get some rest.

Don't get stressed out.

Goodness.

Chunjin's so ruthless.

She put me to work as soon as I got here.

Was this how she treated my mom?

It can't be.

Why do people have so many wishes?

I have just one.

That one is wonky.

It's not in line.

What's wrong with...

- Hey. - You?

Why are you here?

I should ask what you're doing here.

I'm certain I saw your mother at the hospital this morning.

How strange.

Are you following me around?

What?

That's not in line with...

Oh, no. I need these to be spotless.

You're so consistent.

Get the ones that are rolling away first!

Goodness.

(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)

What do you mean you don't go to work?

Were you fired?

Woo Jin still suspects me.

I thought this too lightly.

Why would I? What for?

Because there's a reason we must go.

Could you do this just once, for me?

Are you waiting for Yong Su Jeong to come back?

Hey, that Lee Doo Hyuk. I got his address.

The cause of my suspension.

Just wait until I get you.
