I...
can't do this.
I can't lose the person I love.
I really don't think...
I can live without you.
So what do you want to do?
I'm...
just going to keep loving you.
People can call me a lunatic. I don't care even if...
I end up in the inferno after I die.
I'm just going to let myself love you.
Have you gone mad?
Can you still not gauge the situation?
Don't you know...
how we're connected?
We must put an end to this here.
So Won.
Let's end things before my family finds out.
No, I can't do that.
Then what? Even though we know...
Are you suggesting we take this to the end,
fully knowing the truth?
What awaits us at the end of that road?
We can only find out if we go all the way to the end.
I have no interest in doing that whatsoever.
Eun Hye...
loved you so much.
You two were engaged, so how could I...
We're done.
Please leave.
And don't come back.
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
Hello, Mr. Jeong.
This evening?
How are you feeling? Any better?
Why are you still here?
I won't leave.
I'll stay by your side.
Did you not understand what I said?
Come to your senses, please.
There's no way we can be together.
I know that.
I also know that this is crazy.
But I just can't let you go. What am I supposed to do?
Get out.
- So Won. - I said, get out!
Leave. Get out.
- So Won! - Get out at once!
- Get out at once. - So Won!
Get out! I told you to get out. Leave now.
Enough.
What's going on? What's wrong?
What's the matter?
Mom, please make him leave.
Why are you being like this to Jae Hyuk?
Make him leave, please!
Leave at once.
You're not going to leave? Then I will.
So Won! So Won.
Jae Hyuk, wait outside.
I'll talk to her.
Wait outside.
What's with you? What's the matter?
I won't know what's going on unless you tell me.
Tell me. Did he do something wrong?
No.
Then what's the matter? Did you two fight?
What is the problem? You need to tell me.
Mom.
I won't marry him.
You won't marry him? Why not?
Is he seeing someone else?
No, it's not that.
It's all my fault. I've had a change of heart.
- What? - I just...
I don't love him anymore.
So don't try to change my mind.
What is going on?
So Won is saying it's her fault.
She's saying she won't marry you. Tell me what's going on.
I'm so frustrated.
It's all my fault.
You're both saying it's your fault. What am I supposed to do, then?
I don't know what's going on,
but she doesn't mean the things she's saying now.
You know that, right?
What is she so upset about?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I feel so guilty because of what I'm keeping from you.
My gosh, Mr. Choi.
Say hello. He manages the legal team at Noyu Group.
- Come sit here. - Hello.
I arranged this so that we can have dinner with my friends here,
so please make yourself at home and enjoy the food.
I wouldn't have come had I known it was going to be like this.
It's just that this restaurant is known for their fresh tuna.
I just wanted to treat you to dinner to thank you.
Let's drink.
No, I don't want to drink. Let's talk another time.
Wait, Mr. Choi.
I apologize if this came across as discourteous.
I just wanted to see you because I have something to tell you.
Well, then...
Why don't you have this energy drink at least?
This is okay, right?
Please accept it.
Gosh, my head...
Why does my head hurt so much?
What...
What is this?
Mr. Choi.
Ms. Song.
What? Neither of them came home last night?
Hello, Ms. Song.
I'm sorry I keep inconveniencing you like this.
Can you fix breakfast for Ha Eun and Ho Jin?
It doesn't look like he came home last night.
He didn't come home? He didn't stay here.
He's not at the hospital?
Did he leave early, then?
Anyway, I'll feed Ha Eun and take her to her daycare,
so put your worries to rest.
Thanks, Cake.
How's So Won doing? Any better?
Thank goodness.
All right. Bye.
- Good morning, kiddo. - Good morning.
Ms. Han. My mom is ill, isn't she?
That's why both my grandma and uncle are at the hospital, right?
- You heard that? - Yes.
But your mom's fine now.
She'll be home very soon.
I miss her.
I don't want to go to the daycare today.
Gosh, Ha Eun. Don't cry, please?
Please don't cry.
Mom... Grandma, Uncle Ho Jin!
I want to cry too.
Don't cry, Ha Eun. Please?
Why are you back?
Why must you make things so difficult for me?
I'll no longer make things difficult for you.
I came to tell you that I will wait for you.
After losing Eun Hye like that,
I told myself that I'd never love anyone again.
And that I'd live a miserable life.
It was the only thing I could do to atone...
for not being able to protect her.
But then I met someone,
and I felt like I could do anything to protect her.
That's you.
And that's why...
I can't give up on my feelings for you.
It's hard,
but I'll try.
I can see that you're having such a hard time,
so I'll stop here and wait for you.
Until the day you can come back to me.
You may never come back, but that's okay.
I'll just stay where I've always been.
So don't tell me that I can't even do that.
Great work, Mr. Jeong.
I'll stop by.
You cannot tell anyone about this.
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
(Lawyer Choi Ho Jin's Corrupt Deeds)
(Office of Director of Strategy)
Mr. Choi.
- What is this? - Pardon?
This is...
That anonymous letter states that Mr. Jeong of Ayeong Industries...
bribed you and arranged sexual favors for you.
What on earth happened?
Is this why you said we should give him more time?
No. I did meet with him,
but I never received any sexual favors.
I've been set up.
You've been set up?
How will you prove it?
I'll prove it no matter what.
Please believe me.
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
The person you're trying to reach is unavailable at the moment.
Mr. Jeong!
- Have you heard the rumor? - What rumor?
Apparently, Mr. Choi received sexual favors and bribes.
What? Mr. Choi did what?
No way.
He'd never do such a thing. He's very disciplined.
You never know with men.
And how much do you know about him anyway?
I know that Mr. Choi would never do such a thing.
Mr. Choi, what happened?
It can't be true. It's just a groundless rumor, right?
Sexual favors and bribes?
Ms. Han, do you trust me?
Yes, of course. I know you.
But...
the rumor... And you didn't come home last night.
No, I trust you. I know you'd never do that.
Give me just a little bit of time. I'll be sure to clear my name.
Don't tell my family, please.
Okay, I won't tell them.
But seriously.
Who's making such crazy allegations about you?
Yes.
Now?
(Lawyer Choi Ho Jin's Corrupt Deeds)
Mr. Choi.
Is everything in this anonymous letter true?
No. It is not true, sir.
Then why did we get this letter?
Who'd send this for no reason?
I'll make sure I prove that it's not true.
Give me a little bit of time, sir.
You can never judge a book by its cover.
Who knew Mr. Choi would do such a thing?
Right? He totally ruined the company's image.
I told you that I had a bad feeling about him.
You should just fire him.
He'd never do something like that.
Come on. You can never know what someone's really thinking.
He said he'll clear his name,
so let's wait and see.
As they say, there's no smoke without fire.
Exactly.
I heard you're being discharged. I thought I should stop by.
By the way, why did you do that?
Did you two really break up?
Did you come here to ask me that?
Yes, we broke up. Happy now?
You did something I approve of, for a change.
That means you're leaving Noyu, right?
There's no reason for me to quit my job at Noyu.
But you two broke up. It'll be awkward if you stay.
I'll figure out how to deal with it, so just leave.
I am leaving.
By the way, have you heard?
Your brother received sexual favors and bribes.
Everyone at work is flabbergasted.
What?
Why are you here? What did you want to find out this time?
I stopped by to see how So Won's doing. Can't you be nicer?
Why don't you stay here for a little longer?
I'm okay now.
By the way, what's going on?
Sexual favors and bribes?
I was set up. Don't worry.
I can sort it all out.
Who'd do such a thing to you?
It was probably Hwang Yeon Su.
She's dying to get me fired.
How far is she willing to take this?
She tried to get me fired. And she's after you now?
She's trying everything she can not to lose what she has now.
But more importantly... So Won.
Have you and Mr. Han made up?
So Won.
Let's talk about it later.
Wait a few minutes. Mom will pick you up.
Okay.
- Mom! - Yes, Ha Eun.
- My baby. - My goodness.
You two look as if you were separated for years.
Mom, I heard you were ill.
Be healthy, please. I'll be a good girl.
Don't be ill.
Okay, I'm sorry. I'll never be ill again.
I'll stay strong and live a happy life with you.
Okay. Mom...
Don't cry.
You've been well?
Yes, Ms. Han made jjajang ramyeon for me,
and we even put on a fashion show together.
You did?
- Grandma! - Yes, sweetie.
It's finally my turn. My sweetheart, you're such a good girl.
- You're back, So Won. - Yes.
You look like you've lost a lot of weight.
Thank you, Ms. Han.
For looking after Ha Eun when I was at the hospital.
No problem at all.
- Are you feeling better? - Yes, I'm fine now.
I'm so relieved.
Ha Eun, let's go inside.
What happened?
Be honest with me. I won't tell anyone.
Jae Hyuk won't tell me anything either.
What am I supposed to do if even you won't say a thing?
I'm sorry.
It looks like he did something wrong. What did he do?
Did he see Jung Mi Yeon again?
No, it's not that.
Ms. Han, I want to go wash up.
Good morning.
Hello.
So Won, you're back. Are you feeling better?
Yes, I'm sorry for missing work.
Look at you. You've lost so much weight.
Thank you all for your concern.
Of course, we were so worried.
I love how sweet and caring everyone is toward each other.
You guys can't get sick without my permission from now on, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
- I'm so relieved. - Thank you.
You remember me, right?
Were you the one...
who took me to that hotel that night?
Not sure. I don't really remember what happened.
I didn't even drink a drop of alcohol that night.
You saw that.
But I completely blacked out...
and woke up in a hotel room the next day.
So what?
I got a blood test done, and they found a sleep inducer.
You and Mr. Jeong schemed together...
to get me in trouble!
I bet you were also the one that put the money in my bag.
No, it wasn't me.
I did some digging and found out...
that you and Mr. Jeong are having an affair.
Shall I tell his wife...
and take you to court?
You'll have to give her at least 30,000 dollars.
And if I dig up all your illegal deeds during your bar girl days,
I can put you behind bars for up to three years.
I... I really know nothing about it.
I know that you're a single mother.
What will your child say upon finding out about...
all these things you've done?
If you can't be a mother your child can be proud of,
you should at least...
do your best not to embarrass your child.
So Won.
Can you go get the VP's approval on this?
Well, Ms. Han.
Come on. Keep your personal matters separate from work.
Okay.
Right.
As they say, distance makes the heart grow apart.
Dragging the fight out won't do them any good.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
Come in.
Ms. Han asked me to get your approval on it.
Coming to my office must make you uncomfortable.
I told you.
I'll just stop and wait for you.
So you can just focus on work.
We're both here with our goals, you know.
I don't want to stress you out or make you uncomfortable.
Just think of me as your superior at work.
If that makes you feel more at ease,
I will try harder.
I should get back to work.
(Vice President's Office)
A trap? What do you mean?
I checked all the security footage from the area near the hotel.
Then I saw that woman caught on the security camera...
at a convenience store by the hotel.
You mean, the woman that was with Mr. Jeong?
Yes.
Three minutes after she left the hotel.
Three minutes?
That means she left right after entering the hotel room.
It proves that nothing happened between me and that woman.
And her prints were found on the envelope that had the money inside.
Someone deliberately set me up.
But who'd do such a thing? What for?
I'm investigating it, so we'll find out soon.
How could you do something so disgusting?
Sexual favors and bribes? Unbelievable.
Right?
If you wanted to falsely accuse me,
you should've picked something better.
How low can you get?
- What? - Are you dumb?
Or are you just fearless?
How could you do something so childish to a former prosecutor?
Are you saying I orchestrated it? Don't jump to your own conclusions.
Well, I could tell that you made a great deal of effort.
I prepared a gift for you to show you my respect for your effort,
so brace yourself.
What's that?
I'm not sure.
- This jerk... - Who sent it?
(Tak Se Hoon)
Tak Se Hoon?
Isn't he the one who stole and sold the technology to my son?
Yes, that's correct.
Didn't Mr. Choi catch him and send him to the police?
He was sentenced to probation, so he was released recently.
So he wasn't put behind bars even though he stole the technology?
Open it now.
Are you really going to keep this up? I'm broke now.
Do you seriously expect me to believe that?
Your father-in-law owns Noyu Group.
Go get some money at once,
or I'll tell everyone that you stole the technology.
No, you cannot do that.
My husband cannot find out that I stole the technology.
What is this?
- Mom. - Yeon Su was the one...
who stole the technology, not Tak Se Hoon?
- That's... - She stole it,
and he bought it off her. Then you bought it from him?
Just pretend you know nothing about it.
I got Mr. Choi to bury it.
- So please... - I can't turn a blind eye to this!
I can't believe that wench!
I heard you asked for me.
So you were the one that stole the fabric technology?
How did you find out...
Then you sold it to Tak Se Hoon...
and even fooled my son? How dare you.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I never intended to lie to him.
Shut it.
I know you had no one to teach you properly while growing up,
but you had already threatened us with the video...
and acted like you were trying to take your own life.
On top of that, you even stole the technology?
Thinking that you'll be giving birth to my grandkid...
makes me shudder.
Mother, you're out of line.
The baby can hear even when it's inside the womb.
You've done nothing to be proud of. How dare you talk back to me?
You sly witch.
You obviously got that filthy blood from your parents.
I can't believe they died after giving birth to a witch like you.
They should've either never had you...
or taken responsibility and raised you.
That's enough, ma'am.
I'm crazy for letting my son marry a girl like you.
I deeply regret not stopping you!
What? My "filthy blood"?
Jang Hwa Ran, look who's talking.
You got me furious.
I won't let you walk all over me like this.
- You're back. - Yes.
- I'll go wash up. - Okay.
(Han Min Hyuk, Park Sang Tae)
What's taking Jae Hyuk so long?
Sit down and eat.
I don't have much of an appetite. I'm just going to head out.
He seems so weary.
Did you order his herbal medicine?
Yes, I already contacted the TCM doctor.
I asked him to only use the most premium-quality ingredients,
so don't worry.
By the way, why isn't he eating these days?
Is he protesting so that he and Choi So Won can get married?
- I heard they broke up. - Yes, they did.
Don't worry about him, Mother.
I didn't ask you.
Hwang Yeon Su speaking.
A package?
Yes, I'll come down now. Don't give it to anyone else.
Hi, Yoon Jin. I picked up the report from the lab.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Let's see if the warming effect has improved this time.
(Paternity Test Report)
What is this?
