(Episode 27)
Oh, no...
I'm sorry.
This is all my fault.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.
I better quit working here.
I'm not even all that good,
and I make you worry about me.
And now this happened.
I'm sorry.
This is bad...
Oh, my!
My back...
Mr. Lee?
Oh, no!
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Did you throw your back out?
Man...
Rubbing alcohol...
What?
Come again?
I'll go get some rubbing alcohol.
Ms. Seon, I'm fine!
Or you can get some.
My back...
Yes, Euna.
If Chaeri calls you,
please call me right away.
Yes.
Thank you.
Hyeongsun!
Chaeri hasn't called you yet?
No.
I've been to everywhere we went together,
but I couldn't find her.
I went around the neighborhood, too,
but I didn't see her.
Where could she be?
Hello, Mr. Jang.
I'm sorry.
She hasn't called me yet.
Okay.
Let me know if she calls you.
I think we pushed her too hard.
We were just trying to send her away
so she wouldn't see Hyeongsun again.
Who knew she'd run away like this?
Mr. Jang.
Yes?
Did you check all the hotels?
Yes.
I even checked the spa she frequents,
but she wasn't there.
Chaeri...
Where did you go?
Let me clean your wounds.
It's okay.
Why not?
They have to be cleaned right away.
Wait,
I'll clean the wounds later.
What's so funny?
You're scared, aren't you?
Because this will sting?
What?
Ms. Seon,
there are professionals who do this.
Don't you know?
You're right.
But Mr. Lee,
you're not going to see any professionals.
I will.
Tomorrow.
Okay, then.
Stay still!
Relax.
If we don't clean this, it'll get infected.
Go easy on me.
Be a man.
You're an adult, so you shouldn't be scared.
Even San isn't scared of this.
And he's in elementary school.
Just sit tight.
It stings a bit.
Yes, it does.
It stings.
Yes, just a bit.
Good boy!
Which kindergarten do you go to?
Good boy.
Yes.
I'm fine.
Go. I'm fine.
You didn't have to bring me home.
Go inside.
Well,
don't you think you need to get checked out?
It looks like you threw your back out.
I'll take care of it.
Go inside. Hurry.
I'm really sorry.
Goodnight.
Well,
are you sure you'll be all right?
Would you like me to walk you over there?
What?
I'm in no place to offer, I know.
Ms. Seon,
I'm not afraid of anything.
So don't worry about me
and look after yourself.
I don't think that's true.
You're afraid of rubbing alcohol.
Goodnight.
Oh, my gosh!
What is it?
I was worried.
That scared me...
You'll be working at the Seongnam factory.
The Production Chief position is still vacant.
I thought about it,
and the only person
right for the job is you.
It's certain.
She's trying to get rid of me.
After all I've endured...
What?
After what you've endured?
It's nothing, mom.
If you start it, you must finish it.
Why are you quitting in the middle?
I'm sorry.
I have to go somewhere.
Where?
You're going to go look for Spoiled Brat, too?
Oh, this is maddening.
Why is everyone causing such a fuss?
Oh?
Jinae, are you going somewhere?
I have to go to my office.
You're going back there?
But it's late.
Can't you wait until tomorrow?
It won't take long.
Oh, boy...
What the...
What should we do about that workaholic?
Where have you been?
Me?
I went to the sauna and the motels around here,
to see if Chaeri was there.
Oh, Spoiled Brat wouldn't go to places like that!
Not when she's a princess!
No, no.
No.
My professional opinion is that
for Chaeri,
there's a high chance of her
wandering around this neighborhood
to be close to her dear boyfriend Hyeongsun.
That's what happens to
all men and women who are crazy in love.
You're a professional of all useless stuff.
Oh, boy.
Hoonjae, you've been looking for her all this time?
Yes.
Where's Hyeongsun?
He wanted to look a bit more.
Oh, I found these in front of the shop.
Oh! I can't believe this!
I lost my head because of Spoiled Brat
and left those in front of my shop.
Thank you for bringing them, Mr. Jiffy.
Sure.
Hold it right there.
This is...
A new ring.
Did you get this with Jinae?
Yes.
We got rings.
Really?
Wow!
Amid this chaos of Chaeri going missing,
that's like a ray of sunshine.
Had I heard about that earlier,
I would've congratulated Jinae.
But she left.
Jinae went somewhere?
She had work to do at her office.
Again?
Ms. Lee,
what brings you here?
So,
you thought I transferred you to
the Seongnam factory because I'm unhappy with you?
Why would you think that?
I've handled things well so far.
Should I really get into this and stir things?
No, I've had it up to here.
I can't do this anymore.
You're trying to decide?
Whether or not you should stir things up
when you've handled things so well so far?
Lee Jinae,
I have you all figured out.
Ms. Hwang is really something.
Lee Jinae,
I think you've met your match.
Yes,
get a hold of yourself, Lee Jinae.
Right.
To be honest,
I wasn't really happy with you.
I sent you to Planning with high hopes,
but I was told you still have a lot to learn.
I knew she'd bring up job performance.
I thought I should
let you go to the place
where you can do the best job.
So I appointed you to be the Production Chief.
Is that the only reason?
What?
I was wondering
if you were trying to send me away
because you're not happy about me and Hoonjae.
So I came to ask you.
Of course I am.
That's a given.
Let's say that's why.
What would you do about it?
Lee Jinae, what are you going to do?
Keep this up?
Or beg for mercy?
Lee Jinae, you're hesitating, aren't you?
Should you stand back
or confront me?
Ms. Hwang,
can you please be kind?
Oh, you're standing down?
If it'll make you like me,
I would go anywhere,
even further away than the Seongnam factory.
Further away?
Yes.
To be honest,
I've been so sad, Ms. Hwang.
You were so kind to me before,
so it pains me to think about
what happened to us.
Look who's talking.
Ms. Lee, you don't know me at all.
You think I'll let my feelings interfere
with my HR authority and abuse it?
Yes!
No.
You're right.
So don't try to make things complicated
and think of this as a good chance
to show what you can do.
The negotiation failed.
Let's retreat for now.
So I was wrong.
Okay.
I'll pull myself together and work hard, Ms. Hwang.
You're trying too hard.
It's getting more painful.
Seriously...
Stairs?
Excuse me.
It is you!
You're Hyeongsun's girlfriend.
You're Hyeongsun's big brother?
Yes.
Wait...
What are you...
What are you doing here?
I...
Hey!
Wake up! Hey!
Hyeongsun's big brother,
You...
You can't tell
anyone that I'm here.
Promise.
Why not?
I...
People...
People?
People are looking for me.
Get up.
Wake up.
Pull yourself together. Are you all right?
Hyeongkyu?
Chaeri?
Hoonjae, can you...
Father, mother! Chaeri is here!
Well, my back is...
Oh? Wait!
Chaeri?
Chaeri, what happened?
Spoiled Brat!
Why are you carrying Spoiled Brat on your back?
Mother, can you...
Let's put her down in our bedroom.
In our bedroom.
Come in. Come!
Come in! Hurry!
The shoes!
Get up there.
Hyeongkyu!
This way!
Here.
Be careful.
Careful!
I got her.
Yes, this is good.
Good.
Wait!
What happened to your face?
What?
Did that happen because of Spoiled Brat?
Hey!
Wake up!
Mother, no.
I ran into her outside.
What?
Then what happened to your face?
Hyeongkyu,
did you run into a thug?
Mother, I think she's really sick.
She's sweating.
What happened to you?
Look at the bruise!
Oh!
She's burning up!
Is it a cold?
I'll go and get some medicine.
No!
We have a first aid kit.
It's in the right drawer in the living room.
Okay.
What happened?
Hyeongsun, Chaeri is here, in your parents' room.
What?
Chaeri?
Chaeri!
Hyeongsun?
Hyeongsun!
- Chaeri... - Hyeongsun...
Where have you been?
- Chaeri... - Hyeongsun...
You think he'd cry like that when we die?
Hyeongsun...
Jinae,
you went back to your office?
I forgot something there.
Oh, we found Chaeri.
She's at the house.
Really?
I'm glad.
Let's go.
Thank you for waiting out here for me.
Jinae, you went back to your office
so I'd wait out here for you, right?
How did you know?
Is our seal safe and sound?
It is.
Our seal of love.
There's mine.
- Mr. Jang? - Hey.
You found Chaeri?
Yes, Hyeongsun called you?
Yes. Let's go.
Okay.
This way.
Please come in. I'm sorry it's so shabby here...
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Dad?
Chaeri...
My, how could you...
I'm fine.
I think it's a cold.
I've been feeling a bit sick for a while.
Well,
I brought our family doctor with me.
May I ask him to come in?
Of course.
- Dr. Kim? - Yes, sir.
But I'm fine.
He even brought his family doctor?
Yes.
Chaeri must be
from a very rich family.
You're not coming home?
No.
I'm staying here.
What?
Who says you can stay?
You have to go home. Why stay here?
When your father came to get you?
Dad, you said you'd never see me again
if I don't go abroad and keep seeing Hyeongsun.
I did.
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm not going abroad.
I'm going to keep seeing Hyeongsun.
What?
Chaeri, why are you doing this?
Go home, okay?
No.
I thought about it,
and I can't live without you.
You feel the same way.
Let's not break up.
I'm staying here.
So,
you're saying
you won't come home with me?
If I come home, you'll send me abroad.
You'll make me break up with Hyeongsun.
Seriously?
What kind of daughter does this to her dad?
And who said you can stay here?
Go home. Hurry!
How can I go home with this?
I'm so dizzy that I can't even stand up!
Why are you crying?
You're not going to come home?
Okay. Suit yourself.
Do what you want.
But...
Mr. Jang...
Excuse me.
Mr. Jang,
if it's too much for you to look after my girl,
send her to a hotel or to Dr. Kim's hospital.
You can just put her in a cab,
and they'll take care of the rest.
I'm sorry for intruding at this hour.
Mr. Jang...
Mr. Jang?
I don't know what to say,
when you came all the way here.
Chaeri is rather sick,
so we will let her stay the night here
and talk to her tomorrow.
I have children of my own,
so I understand how worried
you must be.
I have a daughter, too,
so I'll think of Chaeri as my own
and take good care of her.
I'll make sure
Chaeri and Hyeongsun don't end up alone together
while she's staying here.
You must be heartbroken,
but please give her a bit of time.
I'm sorry
for causing so much trouble.
Please look after her.
I will. Goodnight.
Go see him off. Hurry.
Okay.
After you finish that,
come sleep in my room.
Okay.
No.
She's pretty sick,
so I think she should sleep here.
The floor is hot, so it'll be better for her.
Sleep with me, okay?
Okay.
What about dad?
Your dad can sleep in Hyeongkyu's room
or Hyeongsun's room.
I can sleep somewhere else.
I can't believe you're smiling!
You're feeling better now?
What do we do?
If Sanok finds out,
she'll be furious.
When it comes to Hyeongkyu,
Sanok would do anything.
I'm scared.
I'm scared of Kim Gwangnyeol
and Im Sanok.
So nothing's going on between you and Hyeongkyu?
What?
Of course not, mom.
How should I put this on?
Hyeongkyu, are you in bed?
No!
Things were so crazy because of Spoiled Brat
that I forgot all about you
until now.
What happened to you?
I was walking down the street,
and I, I tried to break up a fight.
Really?
You didn't hurt yourself?
No.
I'm fine.
Seriously!
What kind of bastard
would do this to
my precious son?
Nothing. I'm fine.
Hyeongkyu isn't the type who'd try to
break up a fight on the street.
Is Song Junyeong picking on him again?
Oh, the fever broke.
Man...
It's like she doesn't have a care in the world.
How could you sleep so well here?
Father, you're not uncomfortable up there?
It's actually nice.
I've always wanted
to sleep up here.
I'm really glad
we found Chaeri.
I know.
Hyeongsun,
you should talk to her tomorrow.
Tell her to go home.
Okay, dad.
When I saw Chaeri's dad come in
with his face all pale,
my heart almost broke.
Right.
He looked really sad
when he left.
Dad, you said you'd never see me again
if I don't go abroad and keep seeing Hyeongsun.
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm not going abroad.
I'm going to keep seeing Hyeongsun.
She looks better.
I can't believe Chaeri is sleeping here.
You're happy?
Jinae!
You're happy after causing
that kind of ruckus in the middle of the night,
making the whole family go looking for her?
He must be!
I'm feeling all dizzy
because I couldn't sleep last night,
but he's just so happy.
You couldn't sleep last night?
Why not?
You'll be in trouble if you marry her.
She snores,
when your dad doesn't.
But she didn't snore when she slept with me.
Oh, right!
You didn't come home that time!
Don't you dare remind me of that!
What happened to your face?
He tried to stop a fight on the street.
You?
But you're not the type.
I know. Hoonjae, I would believe, but not you.
Seriously?
Hoonjae's nickname
was Mr. Righteous once.
That was how we met.
What?
You think only Mr. Jiffy can be righteous?
When it comes to being righteous,
nobody could beat a lawyer.
Did you sleep well?
Yes!
Good morning, Hoonjae.
Oh, Hyeongkyu!
The bruise has gotten darker!
It doesn't hurt?
It looks like a really big guy punched you first.
Really?
You didn't hurt your back?
See? I knew it.
No, mother.
I'm fine.
Let's eat.
This looks good.
- Thank you. - Watch your step.
Thank you!
He drives her here every morning?
He's smiling like a fool...
- You look handsome. - I do?
Ms. Hwang, good morning.
Good morning.
Hi, Hoonjae.
Hi, mother.
Did you have breakfast?
Of course.
Have a good day.
Bye.
You won't drive her
all the way to the Seongnam factory, will you?
My mother seems to have gotten used to us, right?
She's so cool.
Yes.
Ms. Hwang is cool.
Cool my butt.
What if that hospital forged their document
and gave it to you?
I'm sure they did.
What do we do?
The police is running an investigation on you.
If you can't clear your name,
you might get prosecuted, too.
Don't worry.
I'm innocent,
so I can answer their questions
and prove to them I had nothing to do with it.
Wait.
That client,
did Mr. Kim Gwangnyeol introduce him to you?
Right?
He is, isn't he?
I'll be back.
Keep the door locked.
Mr. Lee!
What do I do?
He's in trouble because of me.
The Seongnam factory?
Let go of me!
What's this about?
Come here.
Seriously!
Man!
What do you want?
Ouch, my hand...
It looks like you've been working out.
You know what?
- I finally have proof. - Proof?
Poor Cinderella who's been suffering
because of her evil stepmother!
- My Jinae! - What?
Did you know Jinae got transferred to Seongnam?
On top of making her work late every night,
now she's trying to send her far away!
Do you know who she is?
Your mother.
When did she get transferred there?
I don't know.
But since I heard it,
I'm sure Jinae knew about it for a while now.
That considerate girl Jinae
has been putting up with all that torture!
My!
How could you be so dense?
And you call yourself Jinae's boyfriend?
But my mother wouldn't do that.
She was really nice this morning.
What the... What's this?
A ring?
You proposed to Jinae?
Yes, I did.
Unbelievable!
How could this be!
Take it off. Right now!
You don't deserve to wear this!
Take it off!
Seriously!
That's enough!
I already have a lot on my mind,
so why are you doing this?
Let go of me!
Hey!
Let go!
Is Chaeri still sleeping?
Yeah. She's made herself right at home here.
Hyeongsun!
Yes, mom?
We're going to the shop,
so when she wakes up,
talk to her and send her home, okay?
Okay.
You two are
not going to run away again, are you?
We won't do that again.
Okay. I trust you, Hyeongsun.
Let's go.
You better not do
anything foolish
now that you're alone with her.
I'm going to drop by unannounced.
I won't do anything foolish.
Give him some credit, will you?
Let's go.
- Bye. - Okay.
I'll do some cleaning
and come join you at the shop.
Okay.
- Have a good day. - Bye!
Hey,
you're feeling better now?
I'm hungry.
Here.
This is Lee Hyeongsun's kimchi fried rice.
Wow!
I made it less salty
because you've been eating porridge all this time.
Delicious!
You look like your old self again.
Yes.
I had such a good sleep.
I've never slept on warm floor before,
and it's amazing.
I sweat all night and feel so refreshed.
And I got my appetite back.
Chaeri,
now that you feel refreshed,
let me take you home.
No!
Chaeri...
Are you sure you love me?
Did you mean it when you said
you couldn't live without me?
Of course.
I meant every word.
Then how could you say such a thing to me?
If I go home, I have to go abroad.
No, even if I didn't have to go abroad,
I wouldn't be able to see you again.
So how could you tell me to go home?
What else could I do?
Your father is having such a hard time.
I feel guilty about this to dad,
but this is our life.
When we love each other so much,
how can we break up
just because my father's not happy?
We can build a good life together
and show my dad how happy we are.
Chaeri...
You said your life is hell without me!
How do you expect to live in hell?
I can't do it.
I can't live without you!
You fool!
You think I don't feel the same way?
When I heard you were leaving,
do you know how heartbroken I was?
Do you know how horrible I felt?
Hyeongsun!
Chaeri...
They probably didn't know I'd be back this soon.
I better not catch them doing anything.
What am I...
What am I to do with them?
What am I to do...
Where did she go?
Where are you?
Well, I'm near the office.
To get something.
Get what?
Well...
A pen? A pen.
A pen...
Ms. Seon,
I'm really busy,
so come back to the office right away.
What do you need?
I asked for the file on Mr. Lee Jeongho's trial.
So where is it?
When did you...
I'm near the office right now.
About...
About 10 minutes?
That's all I need.
I'm sorry. I'll be right there.
Hello? Ms. Seon?
Near here?
10 minutes?
Music...
This lotion...
You're really here.
Wow, you've gotten really brave.
You couldn't even look at me before.
Because you were scared.
So,
prove the medical record was forged?
In other words,
you want me to help Lee Hyeongkyu
because he's in trouble?
And
don't ever
beat Mr. Lee up again
like you did last night.
Hey, do you really have feelings for him?
Why are you doing this?
You come to every job I get,
watch me, jump to conclusions...
How do you expect me to live?
What do you think?
I told you to stay home
and raise San with the child support I send you.
I can't live like that.
If you don't want that,
then come back to me.
Seon Hyeju,
quit your job right away.
If you don't quit,
Lee Hyeongkyu's life will be ruined.
Because of you.
Ms. Seon Hyeju,
what are you doing here during your work hour?
Mr. Lee...
With everything you need to do,
how could you goof around here like this?
Get back to work.
But...
Ms. Seon.
Yes, sir.
You're leaving?
We're not finished!
Mr. Kim Gwangnyeol,
I'm planning on filing a criminal complaint
against you for assault, destruction of property,
breaking and entering and stalking.
I've already gotten a doctor's note for this.
Oh, and the hospital you introduced me to
deceived me
and forged their medical records.
I also plan to file a complaint on
false accusation, forgery,
obstruction of justice and issuing
falsified medical records.
Prepare yourself for what may come.
You think I'll just sit here
and do nothing while you do that?
Given your personality,
I doubt that.
Come after me all you want.
I can handle it.
But don't do this again, okay?
Mr. Lee...
Why did you meet Kim Gwangnyeol?
What if something happened to you?
You should've known better.
I felt really bad
because he came here
and beat you up like that.
I met him to try to resolve it.
Ms. Seon,
from now on,
I'm your boss
and your legal representative.
From now on, if you need anything from
Kim Gwangnyeol, you must go through me.
Does that mean
I'm hiring you
as my lawyer?
Well, you could say that.
But I don't want to...
What about the retainer?
We'll figure that out later.
Get back to work.
Lee Hyeongkyu was acting like he's your husband.
Seon Hyeju, I warned you.
If you don't quit your job,
I'll do something about it.
You know what I'm capable of, don't you?
Well, Hyeju didn't say anything.
Then who beat him up like that?
I heard there was no visitor at the office.
Maybe Hyeongkyu really did try to stop a fight.
No, he wouldn't do that.
Is it woman trouble?
Yuja,
can you ask Hyeju for me?
Ask her what happened to Hyeongkyu.
I have a feeling Hyeju knows something.
Okay, I'll ask her.
So,
you're here to pester me about
why I transferred Ms. Lee to the Seongnam factory?
No, I'm not.
Did Ms. Lee ask you to do this?
To talk to me on behalf of her?
But I told her not to tell you about
the transfer.
No.
I heard it from someone else.
Whatever.
There's no need to cover for her.
Mother!
I'm really upset here.
Can't you accept her?
Hoonjae,
you weren't like this in the past.
You always tried your best to understand me.
You never came to me to question my decisions.
You were such a good boy,
but after you met Ms. Lee,
you've changed completely.
So how could I accept her?
I haven't changed at all!
Anyway, please reconsider
transferring Jinae.
I'm begging you, mother, please?
I'm going back to work.
Remember this.
The more you do this,
the more distant I will grow from Ms. Lee.
Why did you do that? You should've ignored it.
How could I?
When your life was getting harder and harder?
Still, you shouldn't have done that.
You hurt your mother.
I thought about it,
and there's only one thing that can resolve this.
What is it?
Getting married.
Let's get married soon.
Yeongseon,
you can't drink when you're upset about Hoonjae.
It'll make you more upset.
Let's go home.
Okay, let's go.
Let me go and wash my hands.
Ms. Hwang.
I had a feeling you'd be here.
And I was right.
Is something wrong?
No.
Kang Hoonjae
is doing well.
You raised him well.
He grew up well,
even without a father.
Oh, Cheorung!
Nansuk.
Let's go.
Yeongseon, wait for me.
But Cheorung,
how could you be so dense?
What do you mean?
When Yeongseon is having so much trouble,
it'd be nice if you were there for her.
She had him alone and raised him alone.
How long does she have to do everything alone?
Nansuk!
Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm such a bad daughter.
Dad...
You're sleeping here starting tonight?
Yes.
Let's not drop these on the floor.
They'll get dust on them.
Sure.
Those socks.
Did you wear them all day today?
Yes?
How could you get on the bed wearing those?
I'm not supposed to?
I'm sorry.
Mother,
I'm really upset.
Can't you accept Jinae?
Man!
He's completely fallen for her.
How dare he come to me and question my decision?
I won't let him get away with it.
- Hello. - Hello.
Isn't coming to work hard?
No, it's okay.
It's gotten so cold all of a sudden.
I know.
Ms. Hwang
must be thinking I'm the one
who told Hoonjae.
Ms. Lee,
Ms. Hwang visits you at home?
I envy you.
Ms. Hwang went to Ms. Lee's house?
Yes, Mr. Hong just told me
she was going to her house.
Really?
Is this an attack?
Ms. Lee, where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Being here with you, it feels like we're married.
Right, Hyeongsun?
I hope mother and father
don't come back for a while from the market.
When are you going home?
I told you never to ask me that!
Welcome!
Oh? Ma'am!
I mean, Ms. Hwang.
Ms. Hwang, hello.
Hello.
I'm here to see Hoonjae's room.
I'll open the door for you.
Oh, my!
Hoonjae's been living in a place like this?
I'll bring you something to drink.
It's okay.
We'll take care of our business,
so you should go back to your shop.
But...
Excuse me.
What is it?
It's hot!
Hyeongsun, the pot is overflowing! What do I do?
It's overflowing!
I told you not to turn it on.
Okay.
I'll be right there.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Nansuk,
start packing.
Okay, Yeongseon.
Ms. Hwang!
Hi, Jinae.
Ms. Hwang,
you're here to get Hoonjae's things?
Yes, I'm taking Hoonjae home.
But Hoonjae didn't say he was moving out.
He doesn't know yet.
I made this decision for him.
But you should discuss it with Hoonjae
before taking his...
As Hoonjae's mom,
I have this much right.
Ms. Hwang,
is it because my house is too shabby?
No.
Actually,
it's uncomfortable for me
to watch him live here
with you.
That's enough of a reason, don't you think?
Let's go.
Ms. Hwang!
You hate me that much, Ms. Hwang?
You are a good person.
I like you as my employee.
But as Hoonjae's girlfriend,
and
as my future daughter-in-law,
you're not the right person.
Ms. Hwang...
Actually,
I hate the idea.
Mom?
Would you like to join me?
Thank you.
How is this...
I'm a horrible cook.
Do you think I might be pregnant?
From Yangyang?
You...
Hello, mother.
You're San's dad!
I'd like to ask for your help.
Who is Kang Hoonjae's father?
What are you asking?
