(Episode 55)
Hey, what are you doing in my room?
What is this?
Why is this here?
This is...
Eun Hye's purse, right?
Why do you have this?
I'm asking why you have it!
The police...
The police found it and brought it to me.
- To you? - Yes.
What happened was...
They brought it to her hospital room,
and I happened to be the only one there when they came.
Everyone was so flustered back then, so I kept it.
- You expect me to believe that? - It's true.
I was going to give it to you guys,
but I lost my chance to do so.
If you want to make up a story, make it believable at least.
Tell me. You'd better tell me the truth!
Uncle Ho Jin.
Are you and Ms. Hwang fighting?
No.
Let's go, Ha Eun.
Ho Jin.
Ho Jin, hear me out.
Let me go.
This is...
This is Eun Hye's purse.
How did Yeon Su get this?
According to her, the police brought it to the hospital.
I asked the hospital staff if they received Eun Hye's belongings,
and the nurse said there was nothing.
When did the police brought this purse?
And she should've told us a long time ago.
Exactly. It makes no sense.
I can't help but be suspicious of Yeon Su for various reasons.
And how on earth was she able to afford to study abroad?
- Apparently, she had a backer. - Who?
She won't tell me.
What about the phone?
How come Eun Hye's cell phone isn't here?
She said it wasn't there.
It wasn't inside the purse?
(Chief Executive Assistant Park Sang Tae)
Choi Ho Jin.
You won't find out anything with that purse.
Fine, bring it on.
I won't just sit back and let you take me down.
- You're back. - Where's Mr. Choi?
- He left. - Already? Why?
He said something came up.
That guy...
Mr. Choi, why did you leave? I rushed home.
Oh, I see.
All right. Just come over again another time.
Okay.
What's wrong? Do you have a headache?
Yes, a little.
Get some rest. Mom and Dad aren't home anyway.
No, it's okay. I'll just lie down for a few minutes.
I can't believe Yeon Su had this purse.
Ms. Hwang, can you spare me a moment?
My gosh, what's with So Won today?
I know, right? Wasn't that so rude?
I'm sure there's a reason.
Soo Ho, you always try to protect So Won.
Why do you do that?
Do you still feel bad...
for betraying her during the competition?
What? That's...
I've already explained everything to Ho Jin.
Why are you being like this?
What's the point of talking about this now anyway?
Just answer my question.
Why have you been holding onto my sister's purse all these years?
You knew that I went to find Eun Hye's belongings,
yet you feigned ignorance.
You know we were all flustered back then.
Eun Hye was on the brink of death, so I couldn't think about her purse.
Then after her funeral,
I was so busy preparing for my studies abroad.
And your family moved as well.
Stop giving excuses.
You deliberately hid Eun Hye's purse.
No, I did not. I simply never had a chance to give it to you.
I don't understand why you're interrogating me about this now.
I don't understand you.
No matter how busy or flustered you were,
I'm sure you had a chance to tell us about this.
Maybe you kept it on purpose.
What do you mean?
Which police station was it?
And what was the name of the detective?
How would I know that?
You obviously wouldn't know because you're lying.
Even she's being like this now?
Have you checked with the police station?
Yes, it's just as we expected.
They never took Eun Hye's belongings to the hospital.
They found nothing under the cliff.
I knew it. It was all a lie.
And the reason is obvious.
She simply can't tell the truth,
which means there's something she must hide.
Then where did Yeon Su find Eun Hye's purse?
What if she found it at the scene of the accident?
It's possible.
Then...
does that mean Yeon Su...
That we don't know yet.
But one thing is for sure.
Yeon Su definitely has something to do with the accident.
Yes, Ms. Kim.
It's been a while. Everything's been well with you, right?
Am I happy to have a daughter-in-law?
Why would I be? I feel like I got my son stolen.
A grandkid? Are you out of your mind?
Gosh, forget it. That will never happen.
She won't get pregnant.
I won't get pregnant?
How could you do such a thing?
What's with you?
You switched my herbal medicine with something else.
You did that to make sure I won't be able to conceive, right?
What are you talking about?
Mom.
Can you explain what Yeon Su just said?
- Did you really do such a thing? - Well, that's...
Is what Yeon Su just said really true?
No, she's mistaken.
Yeon Su, I didn't do anything. What's all this fuss about?
You threw out all my herbal medicine.
Only to swap them with the ones that you got made.
I called the clinic and verified everything.
Honey, why did you do such a thing?
Mom.
Father.
I got the herbal medicine because I really wanted you...
to have a grandkid soon.
I'm so upset.
Follow me.
Don't cry, Yeon Su.
Have you lost your mind?
I get that you're not fond of her,
but how could you do such a scary thing?
What did I do to deserve to be yelled at like this?
And the herbal medicine I got for her will be good for her.
Why does she already want to have a baby when she just got married?
Do you think she's being like that because she wants a baby?
Be quiet!
You're getting worse by the day.
How could you do such a thing fully knowing...
how much I want a grandchild?
Apologize to Yeon Su properly...
and get her new medicine. Do you understand?
Why aren't you answering?
Okay.
Hi, Mi Yeon.
What? What did Jae Hyuk say to you?
Well, the thing is...
You see...
Mi Yeon. Mi Yeon? Wait, Mi Yeon...
What's wrong?
What did Mi Yeon say?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I apologize on my mom's behalf. Try to calm down.
She's so mean to me.
Mom, how could you do such a thing?
Apologize to Yeon Su at once.
Do you not even care about me...
now that you're married?
- Mom. - It's all a misunderstanding.
You must've heard of Master Ok in Mount Jiri,
the famous fortune-teller.
I did it because he said you two should have a baby next year.
Of course, I want a grandkid that takes after you.
That's why you switched the medicines?
Mom, I find it hard to believe you.
Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
That's not important now.
Then what's important?
You see,
Jung Mi Yeon called your father just now.
Apparently, Jae Hyuk told her all about his past.
Sorry?
What? He told her about his past? You mean, living with his fiancee?
That's right.
From cohabiting with her and getting her pregnant...
to losing her in the accident. He told her everything.
He really said that to her?
What were you thinking?
I can't believe you said all those things to Mi Yeon!
I had no choice because you're being awfully stubborn.
And it was something I needed to tell her eventually.
How can I not tell her about my past and marry her?
You could've told her later on.
No, I should tell her right off the bat.
If she's okay with it, then I can consider dating her.
Otherwise, it'd be too disrespectful.
Is that the only reason? It wasn't because of Choi So Won?
Don't drag her into this, please.
This is about me.
Just leave the company if you're going to keep this up.
Get out! And do whatever you want to do.
I can't leave the company.
However, I'll step down from the vice president position.
What? You'll step down?
How could you say that so easily?
- What do you need? - Oh, right.
I landed a deal to get our brand into 10 of Lucio's shopping malls...
in Germany and France.
What? How did you do that?
I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes.
I was planning on telling you after getting the deal,
and I just got a call from them.
Good work.
You make my life more bearable these days, Min Hyuk.
You, get out!
Why do you seem so down today?
So Won, I hope my VP title isn't the reason you like me.
Of course not.
Then you don't care even if I go back to being...
a freelance designer, right?
To be honest with you, I was happier back then.
When everyone called you Bigfoot.
Back then, I didn't have to worry about rumors,
and I didn't have to feel intimidated.
I really mean it.
What's wrong?
Did the chairman scold you or something?
No, it's not that.
What you just said cheered me up.
I've never seen Dad getting that angry at Jae Hyuk.
He yelled at Jae Hyuk and told him to leave the company.
Then Jae Hyuk said he'll step down.
It was very entertaining.
Really?
But you see, even though your dad said all those things,
he won't let Jae Hyuk fail easily.
He cares about him a great deal, you know.
Right, I'm sure.
But Jae Hyuk may leave the company like he did in the past.
Don't you know that he's investigating the accident?
He's suspicious of me because I bought Eun Hye's house,
so he won't quit that easily.
You have to step up your game at times like this.
You must teach him a lesson once and for all.
Mom.
I actually landed a deal to get our brand...
into 10 of Lucio's shopping malls.
My gosh, you did?
Son, you're amazing.
You must fly your kite when the wind is blowing.
I'm working on those who are close to Mr. Gong,
so we should be able to win Mr. Gong over to our side soon.
- Stay strong, son. - Okay.
Hello, you can take this table.
- Could we get some napkins? - Sure. Just a second, please.
You're having a late lunch.
I'm just stopping by in the middle of running errands.
My gosh, it's busy here.
Isn't it exhausting?
No, it's fine because I'm doing what I want to do.
It's fun.
(Happy birthday, Mr. Park Sang Tae.)
Is it your birthday today?
Yes.
Just a moment, please.
Happy birthday, Mr. Park!
- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you.
- You should blow out the candle. - Okay.
Did you make a wish?
Oh, no. I forgot to make a wish.
My gosh.
Come to think of it, you've been with Noyu for such a long time.
I know. Time flies by so quickly.
You seem lonely these days.
Are you not going to get married?
I'm married to Noyu.
If Tae Seok heard that, he'd be very happy.
- You should eat your burger. - Oh, right.
Thank you for doing this.
Happy birthday. From Yeon Su.
I've done some thinking.
About your life.
It must've been so lonely and difficult.
Isn't it nice to have at least one person...
who understands your pain?
(Chief Executive Assistant Park Sang Tae)
About Vice President Han... I mean, Jae Hyuk.
Don't you think he's being too cruel to Jung Mi Yeon?
What do you mean? I think he did the right thing...
by being honest about his past. He shouldn't keep it from her.
I'm definitely with him on this.
But he should've considered Father's position too.
He could've just dated her and told her later on.
If he confesses everything right off the bat,
no one will want to date him.
Then I guess you'd never tell Min Hyuk anything even if...
you cohabited and had a child with someone.
What are you talking about?
Anyhow, the kind of people I hate the most are the ones who lie.
And about Jae Hyuk...
He wouldn't fall for anyone right now, no matter who it is.
He likes someone.
Who is it?
You know who it is.
I saw you being mean to So Won,
which means you know.
So you knew about it too?
Of course.
I thought it was just So Won having a crush on him.
Then he wouldn't be so cold to Assemblyman Jung's daughter.
He likes So Won a lot too.
You need to stop them. How can you not do anything about it?
Why should I stop them? With what right?
And I support them.
Jae Hyuk is more thoughtful than anyone else I know.
And he likes So Won.
Besides, I also think So Won is a great person.
She even managed to get Ms. Han on her side?
If they actually end up getting married,
she'll become my sister-in-law.
Eun Hye's sister, Choi So Won, of all people.
No way. I must do something about this.
You have something to tell me?
Yes, sir.
It's about Jae Hyuk and So Won.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
It's the design revisions that are required for Jean Collection.
Okay.
Yes, Mr. Jeong.
Now?
With So Won?
What is this? Can you explain everything I heard?
Is it true that you rejected Mi Yeon...
because of So Won?
Is that why you told her...
all about your past?
You said you're just grateful to So Won.
You told me you have no feelings for her!
That's what I thought, but I was wrong.
I didn't really know what my heart wanted.
I like So Won.
You... How could you...
What is this? Explain what he just said!
What do you think about all this? I want an explanation.
Tell me.
Are you mute? Why are you all quiet?
- Dad. - I...
I like him too.
What... What did you say?
I'm sorry, sir.
Gosh, how...
How dare you!
You told Jung Mi Yeon all about your past?
Yes.
I should've done it sooner.
What do we do now?
Chairman Han seemed furious.
I should've just denied it. What are we going to do now?
It's something we have to go through anyway.
I'm sorry.
Why do you keep saying sorry?
I was actually happy earlier.
Because you said that you like me in front of my father.
I just didn't want to keep him in the dark anymore.
I'm glad you told him.
Let's now face the situation head-on instead of avoiding it.
As long as I have you by my side,
I won't be afraid of anything.
You know that Jae Hyuk isn't the type to open up easily.
But he likes her.
I don't want to hear it!
Tae Seok, think about it.
Who helped him function normally again...
after being stuck in the storage room for five years?
Still, how can we let Jae Hyuk...
date a woman who has a kid?
Why not? What's wrong with that?
Let's be honest. Jae Hyuk has a past too.
You're just being greedy, Tae Seok.
Be quiet.
Leave at once if you're going to go on about this.
Come again?
Let's date.
Date, my foot. Your father is fuming mad.
So what? You're just going to be stressed out every day?
Even if the world would go to pieces tomorrow,
you should still plant your apple tree.
What do you want to do?
I actually made a list.
What kind of list?
The list of 10 things I want to do with the man I like.
"Number one, walking together while holding hands."
"Number two, putting up a love padlock in Namsan."
"Number three, growing a plant together."
"Number four, take the train and see the sunrise together."
"Number five, getting a piggyback ride while walking on the beach."
"Number six, gifting each other matching underwear."
"Number seven, asking him to play the piano for me while singing."
"Number eight, baking a birthday cake for him."
"Number nine, going bungee jumping together."
"Number 10, going to a recital together."
What do you want to do the most?
Anything's fine, except for number seven.
Number seven?
Come on. This has always been my dream.
I'm not a good singer. You want me to play the piano on top of that?
Why did you put a star next to going to a recital?
Because I'm holding a grudge.
You went to the recital with Mi Yeon. Did you have fun?
I can see that you hold a grudge.
I sure do. Isn't it obvious?
Anyway, we can cross off number one.
Walking together while holding hands.
Right.
"Number three, growing a plant together."
- We can cross off two things. - Okay.
Oh, right. We should name the plant.
How about "Whatever"?
Sure, let's grow Whatever well.
We still have eight things left to do on the list,
so we should go on dates often.
Go on what?
You guys are getting in late because you were out on a date.
They say, late bloomers tend to go all out.
Do you know what time it is now? Go inside at once!
Come on. Let's go inside.
Mom.
Even Choi So Won said in front of Dad that she likes Jae Hyuk.
My goodness.
They're both so reckless.
Jae Hyuk always had such low standards for women.
You too.
Mom, why are you taking it out on me?
The fact that you're married to Yeon Su makes my blood boil.
Everyone in that family is so shameless.
- And they don't know their places. - Sorry?
Choi So Won is being ridiculous.
The same goes for you.
Mom, please.
Father, you're home.
Did you eat dinner?
- Shall I fix you dinner? - No, I'm not hungry.
Gosh, I can't believe Jae Hyuk.
Dad, you must be very upset.
That fool.
The more I think about it, the more upset I get.
Father, have some tea.
This tea is good for de-stressing.
And I made these honeyed balloon flower roots...
because I noticed that you cough occasionally.
You didn't have to make this. I know how busy you are.
Dad, it takes a long time to make this.
Yeon Su poured her heart into it.
Father, try not to be too upset. It'll ruin your health.
She's right, Dad. Try to cheer up for us.
All right.
Thanks.
Father seems to trust you a lot more these days, you know.
You must take advantage of it and completely win him over.
Yes, I should.
Lucio's shopping malls can help you.
We have to get our brand into more locations.
I'll help you.
Eun Hye.
There's someone I want to introduce to you.
He's such a wonderful person.
I'll visit you with him soon.
Eun Hye.
There's someone I really like.
I can't hold back my feelings for her anymore.
Can you...
forgive me?
Sorry?
Just do as I say.
Okay.
Attention, everyone. I have an announcement to make.
Ms. Choi.
Yes?
You're fired.
Mr. Han.
They're letting her go?
It's the chairman's order.
Please pack up your stuff and leave immediately,
Ms. Choi So Won.
