(Episode 29)
I don't think I can stop minding you.
Why not?
I don't like to owe anything.
First, let me pay you back for what I owe.
Did you think I was beaten because of you?
Let's call it even for showing me consideration...
and caring about me to this day.
I may call what I owe even, but you're still my responsibility.
How can the president stop caring about his staff?
Then, please treat me as a member of Hyesung Tour.
Don't you think this is unfair? Aren't you angry?
So what if I feel this is unfair and get angry?
Would anyone care?
Would anything change?
I also do not plan to put up...
with this injustice and humiliation from now on.
So, let me handle this.
Also, I'd like to take an early leave.
That family is just mad!
How could a mother come to her daughter's office...
to beat someone up?
I won't let this slide.
I'm going to sue that woman.
No, I'll put the mom and the daughter behind bars!
Why was she beaten?
She probably had a reason for hitting her.
I don't know.
I was so mad that I forgot to ask.
You idiot.
If I'm an idiot, you're a super idiot...
Darn it. Why do you always hit me?
Does Ji Seok know?
Darn it.
Would Ji Seok get her revenge if he found out?
You should tell him.
Have you apologized to him?
You didn't.
I turned in a written complaint against Ms. Choi Myung Ji...
for assault and causing bodily injury.
Authorities will contact Ms. Choi once the investigation begins.
Take in-house measures as well.
Ban her from entering the building.
The perpetrator's daughter is also a witness,
so ask the police to keep things confidential.
Yes, sir.
It's wonderful to have you pick me up this early, Auntie.
I also think it's wonderful to go home early with you.
But I don't like how you hurt your face.
I hope it doesn't scar.
I'll be fine if I disinfect it and keep applying ointment.
Hey, it's Ms. Sim.
- Goodness. - Ms. Sim!
It's you, Eun Chong.
Are you coming back from the kindergarten?
Yes, what about you?
Hello.
I'm a little busy. Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I just wanted to say this because I was concerned.
Jin Goo will get married soon.
I hope you don't do anything to cause a misunderstanding.
I'm not everyone's punching bag.
If I still had my mom and dad,
they wouldn't have let me suffer all alone.
Auntie, a hole!
What?
It's a hole.
Hey, what is it?
Dinner?
I thought we were eating something simple.
What's the occasion? We're eating shabu shabu?
It's the day you got beaten up.
I won't let her get away with this.
Shut your mouth, and let's just eat.
How am I going to eat if I shut my mouth?
I've been here with Auntie Ha Na.
- Isn't that so, Auntie? - Yes.
What? Just the two of you?
When?
It's suspicious.
You could run into her by coincidence,
but why would the chairwoman eat lunch...
with just another employee?
I was a little perplexed too.
She gave you that dress and sent you food...
for the memorial service.
It'd be perfect if she bought you a house.
Wake up from your dream.
Dreams are supposed to be had.
Gosh, I hope it doesn't scar.
I think...
Mr. Hwang provided the reason for this misunderstanding.
He's partially responsible for not keeping his fiancee...
and his future mother-in-law out of this.
Don't even talk to him from now on.
Why not? Mr. Hwang is a nice person.
Hey, just eat your food.
You need to watch what comes out of your mouth.
That's enough. Wasn't once enough?
It's all but a misunderstanding.
Please ask me first in the future.
And you need to apologize to Ms. Goo.
He humiliated my mom and me...
because of that pathetic girl?
Is Mr. Hwang not coming?
I wanted to drink alone today.
Director Goo also came by to drink alone a few days ago.
Was that his parents' deathday?
Do you want to stay the night?
He must've heard that his sister was beaten.
Would he be mad at me?
Yes, Ms. Choi.
The mother and daughter took turns.
I won't let them beat me anymore.
So what if I feel this is unfair and get angry?
Would anyone care?
Would anything change?
If Ms. Goo became a shield for Eun Chong,
then I'd be her shield.
In a way, the two could supplement each other.
But the approach is wrong.
Be careful. Having fun?
All right! This is awesome!
I want to ask you...
to stop minding my business as of this hour.
I want to,
but we still have to deal with Eun Chong's issue and the assault.
I can't stop minding you.
Ms. Goo.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not everyone's punching bag!
Yoon Se Young.
You aren't the only one who has a mom.
I have a mom too.
Mom!
No rain, no flowers.
If it doesn't rain, flowers won't bloom.
Doesn't your back feel cold?
Don't stay there for too long before you go home.
You might end up getting frozen.
It's just a word from a neighbor passing by,
so I hope you don't feel too uncomfortable.
I don't need you to do something like this.
"The police station?"
Yes, I called you to investigate the assault incident...
at Hyesong Tour's office.
How did you know?
We received a written complaint from Hyesung Group's head director.
The head director filed a written complaint?
Yes, can you share the details of the incident?
(Head Director Goo Ji Seok)
Drop the accusation.
The assault broke out in the office.
This isn't some mom-and-pop business.
We need to investigate and punish who's responsible.
You should've talked to me first.
I filed the complaint as the head director of the company.
Both Chairwoman Shin and Hwang Jin Goo saw it.
Why won't they take a measure?
Because they're family? Because they'll be family?
Why didn't you do anything?
That's why they keep harassing you.
I won't just sit around and take this anymore.
I don't want to make a fuss at work because of my business!
You need to make a fuss!
They need to be humiliated, stand trial, and get fined!
File for compensation for every injury you got.
And get a medical diagnosis too.
Why would I need that? It'll heal if I put ointment on it.
So, you need to stop now.
It must've rang an alarm.
Is something going on between you and Hwang Jin Goo?
Nothing is going on!
If nothing is going on, why do you let them harass you?
Why is Hwang Jin Goo doing nothing after putting you in trouble?
He's having a tough time too.
You're worrying about him right now?
Drop the complaint, Ji Seok.
I ask of you.
Please.
Do you want me to repeat it?
I did this as the head director,
not as your younger brother.
Where did she hide those files?
Darn it. These are all locked. I can't destroy them.
Come on.
Goodness.
What are you doing?
Yeo Jin asked me to bring a file to her.
But I don't see it here.
She must've left it somewhere else.
Gosh. Where is it?
What was she looking for?
She's acting really suspicious.
A children's sticker?
Yeo Jin, what's that on your hand?
A boy monk put it on me at the temple.
I told her to throw it out, but she put it on the mirror.
She has developed an odd interest.
Right.
If it's not in the safe, it must be in her office,
not at home.
I should go there.
Who filed the complaint?
Ha Na?
Then, it'd be a lawsuit, not a written complaint.
I hear Ms. Choi may face legal punishment.
I hope I don't end up suffering for stating the facts.
Would you rather tell a lie and get punished?
Let's pretend that we don't know anything for now.
Anyway, who do you think reported Ms. Choi?
What did you just say?
Did you just say someone reported my mom?
What is this?
Don't you know me?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
You've been banned...
from entering the company building starting today.
Who did? Who would dare to do that to me?
It was Head Director Goo Ji Seok.
I can't believe this nonsense.
Who does he think he is to stop me?
- Move aside. - I'm sorry, Ms. Choi.
How dare you touch me?
Get Goo Ji Seok here immediately. Right now!
I can't believe this.
Yes, you came right away.
Hey, who do you think you are to stop me?
The measure was taken after an assault incident at work.
Please go home.
Did you do this because I beat your sister?
Keep a professional attitude while you're at work.
You should pick up your phone.
I can't believe this.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Choi Myung Ji.
The police station? Why...
Someone reported me?
Darn it.
The police took witness accounts from everyone in the office.
The police also told them to keep it confidential...
because I'm her daughter, and you're her future son-in-law,
The police probably didn't want false witness accounts.
Who reported her?
It must be Goo Ha Na.
Or she must've made someone do it.
- It's probably Director Goo. - Are you serious?
Ms. Yoon, I think you should go down to the lobby.
- Why? - Ms. Choi was banned from entering.
What?
(Chairwoman Shin Yeo Jin)
Come in.
Yeo Jin.
I can't handle this amount of injustice and anger.
What's going on?
I have to be at the police station at 10 a.m. to make a statement.
Please tell Mr. Goo to drop the complaint.
She doesn't even want money. What am I going to do?
You should've apologized to her first.
Why did you assault her anyway?
Mr. Goo had to take a measure...
not just because Ms. Goo was his sister...
but because it happened at work.
Yeo Jin!
Will you make her go to the police station?
Yeo Jin, this is heartbreaking.
I'd only end up getting fined even if the complaint goes through.
Make an official apology to Ms. Goo and try to settle the case.
- Even if I do, she won't accept... - If she won't, kneel before her.
Yeo Jin.
I need to make her kneel to apologize to her.
Ms. Goo is the only key for me to bring Eun Chong home.
She's never helpful.
I couldn't believe she told me to kneel.
This is nonsense.
I'll talk to Mr. Goo.
- Will you? - I'll do it.
It's better for the daughter to ask for a favor.
I don't want to see you asking him for a favor.
- I'll go with you. - It'll be ridiculous if we both go.
Mom, you can go to the restaurant. I'll send Goo Ha Na there.
All right. She'll settle the case...
if Yeo Jin intervenes.
What do you think you're doing?
No, what are you doing, Ms. Yoon?
What if someone saw you rudely barging into my room?
Do you want to tell everyone about our relationship?
Please drop your complaint.
My mom will apologize to Ms. Goo and give her compensation.
Ms. Goo wouldn't care for that.
Then, you'll take this to the end?
Even if you did, she'd be put on probation or get fined.
What does Goo Ha Na get from this anyway?
Maybe that was why...
she came to see me and told me to drop the complaint.
If that's what she wants, you need to do it.
Why are you insisting on this?
- It's fun. - Is it fun to harass my mom and me?
Is it fun for you and your mom to harass Ha Na?
Do you have evidence?
Did Hwang Jin Goo and Ha Na hold hands and kiss each other?
What grounds do you two have to make this kind of fuss?
There was enough circumstantial evidence.
Much more happened between us when it comes to circumstantial evidence.
I wanted to spend the night with you.
You're crazy.
What are you talking about in the office?
- You feel the same way. - You've gone crazy.
This is sexual harassment.
Stop this nonsense if you don't want to get sued,
and drop the complaint right now!
Then, why were you at my door after you got drunk?
- When did I do that? - It was thrilling...
to hear the sound of your heels.
Clack.
I could hear what was in your heart just by hearing that sound.
So what?
Stop taking it out on others and look inside your heart.
Who should you side with...
to get Hyesung Group that you wish to have?
Is it Goo Ji Seok?
Or is it Hwang Jin Goo?
Why do you think I'm here?
To get my revenge on you?
It's more like the opposite.
You asked Mr. Goo to drop the complaint?
Don't you want her apology?
Or, at the very least, you should get the compensation.
I don't want her to think she has done her part...
after paying me a few pennies and blurting out a few words.
Even if she apologizes, I know she doesn't mean it.
Then...
what is it that you want?
Tell me what you want.
I asked you to stop minding my business.
This also concerns our company.
And I said I'd pay you back first.
I'll stop minding you or caring about you,
but you need to tell me first.
If Ms. Yoon hears this conversation, she'll misunderstand me again.
Next time, it won't be a simple beating.
I can't even talk the way I want.
I don't know what I want.
But I don't want to make a fuss at work.
Also, I'm not sure if I should settle the case.
Do whatever you want.
You can decide to settle or not. Do whatever you want.
What's your wish, Ms. Goo?
My wish? That was random.
I guess it was.
But, for example, you may wish to be rich.
Or you may wish to have rich parents and live a comfortable life.
Or you may wish your late foster parents...
to come back to life.
If I had to choose one,
I'd want my late foster parents to come back alive.
I'd be so happy if I could go back to those days.
Just imagining it makes me happy.
I also want to see you happy, Ms. Goo.
Will you be happier than you are now...
if you become the chairwoman's daughter?
I arranged this meeting because I thought I should intervene.
It happened at my business,
and my family did that to you, so I was also responsible.
I'm sorry, Yeo Jin.
I'm sorry.
Even if there was a misunderstanding,
I shouldn't have resorted to violence.
I apologize wholeheartedly.
Mothers always end up becoming self-centered...
when it comes to their children.
No mother will remain sane...
if she thinks her child is in trouble.
You must know that too.
You're a woman like me, and you're raising your nephew.
Enough. She needs to be ready before she can accept your apology.
- Don't rush it. - I won't.
Why wouldn't she say anything even after her elder apologized?
She must feel awkward and uncomfortable to be here...
because she grew up in misfortune without the care of her parents.
She's young, but she isn't frivolous.
She's rather brave.
Hey, did you hear that Yoon Se Young's mom...
wasn't allowed to go into the company building?
I should've been there to see it. What a shame.
Ji Seok ordered it.
He said he'd teach her a legal lesson.
She's been reported to the police, so she'll be interrogated.
Really? Goo Ji Seok did...
I mean, Ji Seok did that?
- For Ha Na? - I'm telling you.
The anchor of our family is no longer Ha Na, but Ji Seok.
So, you need to stop messing with him. Okay?
- If you got it, nod, you idiot. - Darn you.
You punk.
You have to apologize to Ji Seok! Darn it.
You have to do it!
My younger brother?
- Let him in. - Yes, sir.
(Head Director's Office)
Do you have anything else to nitpick with me?
I heard you reported Yoon Se Young's mom...
and banned her from entering the company building.
I did my part as a head director.
No, you must've stepped in for Ha Na before you did that as a director.
We're at work.
Why did you come here?
Well, I gave this a bit of thought.
No, I gave this a lot of thought.
I went over the line on our parents' deathday.
I shouldn't have punched you no matter how angry I was.
I realized violence must be eradicated...
after Ha Na was assaulted.
I was wrong, Ji Seok.
Forget it.
May I take your words as an acceptance of my apology?
Please accept this apple as a token of my apology.
You just chuckled. That means you aren't mad anymore.
Bye. Have a great day.
Keep it going, Goo Ji Seok!
"As a token of my apology?"
Why do you think I'm here?
To get my revenge on you?
It's more like the opposite.
Was he serious? Or is he trying to confuse me?
Here. Please eat up.
You can only have these lobsters at market price.
Why won't you eat some more?
I understand what you and Ms. Choi mean.
I accept the apology, and I'll sign the settlement.
Thank you.
Who do you think you are to say you accept my apology?
How can I repay you?
You said you wouldn't accept money.
Do you still feel the same way?
May I ask for something else other than money?
Instead of money, what do you want?
You'll want a raise or a permanent position.
Tell me.
I'd like to be separated...
from Ms. Yoon at work.
What do you mean?
Are you saying you want Se Young to be appointed somewhere else?
Or do you want to go elsewhere?
I'm not sure how it'll unfold.
Let's do that.
Why don't we send Se Young to the hotel resort?
Goodness, that sounds wonderful.
We plan to begin aggressive tactics to attract overseas guests,
so she can assist Director Goo in the marketing process...
No, Yeo Jin.
Why not? Se Young would love that.
Well...
Really? I'll be sent to the hotel resort?
I wasn't sure if we should be celebrating.
The hotel is a much better place than the travel agency.
I won't have to see Goo Ha Na.
You'll be working with Goo Ji Seok.
What are you talking about?
- Why should I work with him? - No idea.
That was Goo Ha Na's condition for the settlement.
I really hate the Goo siblings.
"The condition for the settlement?"
Stop taking it out on others and look inside your heart.
Who should you side with...
to get Hyesung Group that you wish to have?
Is it Goo Ji Seok?
Or is it Hwang Jin Goo?
Wait, did Ji Seok have everything planned?
There is one thing about Yoon Se Young that I envy.
That she has a mother.
I don't know how she is to others,
but to Yoon Se Young,
she's such a caring mother.
I heard you settled.
Yes.
Goodbye.
Just as you said, if Ms. Goo became a shield for Eun Chong,
then I'd be her shield.
She won't have to suffer from nonsense like today,
be put to sorrow because of her parents' absence,
or live a difficult life again.
I was going to buy a fan heater from an online secondhand market,
and I was supposed to meet the person in ten minutes.
But our boarder came here, so I couldn't go out.
Hello.
Where are you meeting the person?
"Gureum Apartment?"
That's where Mr. Hwang lives.
I hope it's not his place.
Please don't be his family.
Oh, hello.
Are you here with the fan heater?
It was you, Eun Chong's aunt.
My younger brother was the one who did the transaction online.
It was ten dollars, right?
I hope you put it to good use. It's as good as new.
Thank you. Goodbye, then.
Wait.
Let me ask you to do this one more time.
- Jin Goo and you... - Don't worry.
Don't be so offended by what I said.
That's how mothers feel.
Mothers always end up becoming self-centered...
when it comes to their children.
No mother would sit around...
and watch her child being gossiped about.
Please understand what I said.
I said that because I'm a mother who worries about my son.
Yes, don't worry.
- Let's go inside, Mom. - You're here.
- I was talking to Eun Chong's aunt. - It's cold.
Let's go inside.
What's wrong? Hey.
Ms. Goo.
I'm sorry. Let me apologize on her behalf.
Let me apologize both for Ms. Yoon's mother...
and my mom.
She shouldn't have done that to you.
Stop it. It's true that I don't have a mother.
You can find your mother.
Have you ever looked for your biological mother?
Do you want to look for her?
The mother who gave you birth.
(Cinderella Game)
Are you sure you'll be fine working with Ji Seok?
It's a great chance to find out what he's up to.
Did you decide to side with me instead of Hwang Jin Goo?
The Dubai contract was pushed back by three months,
and so did the second payment of the investment.
Will you go after Hyesung Group after you put Hyesung Tour down?
I'm sure my sister would've won the grand slam...
if suffering were a sports event.
Ms. Goo, if I can help with your happiness...
by keeping this secret forever, then I'll do that.
Someone is looking for you.
Who?
