(Unasked Family)
Mr. Kim, I wasn't notified that the venue had been changed.
There's a phone record...
from the secretary office to your direct line,
and the secretary said she had talked to you.
Are you still denying it?
Pardon?
It's not that. I am telling you the truth, Mr. Kim.
I really don't recall getting a call from the secretary office.
But they're sure they notified you of the change.
Are you saying someone else took the call at your desk?
Ms. Yang, was it you?
Sorry? No, it wasn't me.
Aren't you two the only female staff in this office?
It really wasn't me. It wasn't me.
Please believe me, Mr. Kim.
You have committed severe professional negligence.
Moreover, you didn't admit your mistake while lying about it.
I didn't lie about it, Mr. Kim.
Ms. Kang Yeo Won, I don't think it will be possible...
for you to be a permanent employee.
How could this happen, Ms. Kang?
I can't understand either.
It really wasn't me, Ms. Yang.
I never liked her, and she ended up causing serious trouble.
I should've fired her when she caused the truck incident.
Because you and Mr. Bong...
sided with that intern, things got this messy.
You two are also partly responsible.
I'm sorry, sir.
Thinking that I was humiliated makes me feel a rush of blood to the head.
Just as I told you before, terminate Intern Kang Yeo Won's...
employment without it becoming a permanent position.
And tell Mr. Bong to submit a written apology.
He should take responsibility as the manager.
Yes, sir. I'll take care of it as you said.
You're back, Mr. Bong.
All your today's hard work went down the drain.
Ms. Yang, what on earth happened?
Just as I told you over the phone.
Ms. Kang says she didn't get a call from the secretary,
but the secretary says she talked to Ms. Kang.
It doesn't make sense at all.
Out of all people, why was it Mr. Hwang's secretary?
Someone else might've picked up the phone on Ms. Kang's desk.
Mr. Bae, even you're doubting me?
That's not what I'm saying.
Or else, it couldn't have happened.
However, I'm so worried.
Mr. Kim stopped by earlier. He said that Ms. Kang...
probably won't get a permanent position because of what happened.
What? Did he really say that?
Mr. Bong, what should we do?
Where is Ms. Kang?
In the staff lounge.
Getting a permanent position was my last hope.
Why did it happen?
You're back, Mr. Bong.
Ms. Kang, I will ask you one thing.
Are you sure you didn't get the call from the secretary?
Yes.
If that's true, it'd be unfair for you to be fired because of this.
I will find a way to stop it.
I believe you, Ms. Kang.
Mr. Bong.
Leave for the day, Ms. Kang.
You worked overtime yesterday. Bo Ram must be waiting for you.
(Kim Ji Hun, Director of Management and Strategic Planning)
Come in.
Hey.
Have a seat.
Are you here because of Ms. Kang?
Yes.
Mr. Hwang wants you to submit a written apology.
Ji Hun, I am more than willing to take the responsibility...
and submit a written apology as the leader of my team.
However,
you can't fire Ms. Kang when she's about to get a permanent position.
Please reconsider your decision.
I would help her out if it wasn't this serious. But this time,
she damaged Mr. Hwang and his company's reputation.
I have no choice.
Moreover, it's been proved that it was Ms. Kang's mistake.
It wasn't her mistake.
It wasn't Ms. Kang who talked to the secretary.
Are you saying that someone took the call on Ms. Kang's desk,
heard that the venue was changed,
and didn't tell your team on purpose?
Do you think it makes sense?
I believe Ms. Kang.
She wouldn't lie even in an unfavorable situation.
I believe you agree with me since you know her well too.
You must be saying that because she means a lot to you.
But I make decisions based on circumstances.
Mr. Hwang gave me an order. I can't do you a favor this time.
I'm home.
- Mom. - Hi.
You're home.
I'll set the table. Leave it.
Dad, I'm home.
Please come and have dinner with us.
Dad has been like that all day long,
and I hurt my arm. It's completely depressing.
You should eat well so your arm heals quickly.
I'll fix dinner, so eat with Bo Ram without me.
Open this first.
What is this?
I Nam gave it to me.
Ms. Wang sent it for Bo Ram.
When did she get all these?
I guess she sent them in advance since Bo Ram will start school soon.
They're so pretty.
There are shoes too, Mom.
She kicked you out, but she must be worried about Bo Ram.
Mom, can I call Grandma?
I want to thank her.
Bo Ram, your grandma might be sleeping now.
Why don't you call her later?
Hi, Bo Ram. My sweet pumpkin.
Did you receive the gift I sent?
Do you like it?
Yes, Grandma. I like them all very much.
Thank you.
My sweet pumpkin, don't you miss me?
I miss you so much.
I also miss Uncle Il Nam, Aunt Ji Yeong, Uncle Sang Mum,
and Uncle I Nam.
Oh, right. And Yeong Jae too.
Grandma, can't I go to your house?
What?
Bo Ram, eat well,
and be a good girl.
Yes.
I love you too, my sweet pumpkin.
Well... Is your mom...
Hello?
Silly me.
I should forget them since I let them go.
My goodness. How humiliating!
How could they make such a mistake at an event...
where all the CEOs from large groups were supposed to gather?
Who was it? Which team?
The intern of Mr. Bong's team.
My secretary called to tell her the venue had changed.
But she must've been distracted and forgot to tell the others.
If she made such a big mistake, shouldn't she be fired?
Exactly. Did you just let it slide?
You should've fired her.
I was ridiculed at the seminar because of a mere intern.
I already ordered to terminate the intern.
Such a bad thing happened from the beginning of the year.
Then good night, you two.
Gosh.
Out of all days,
why did it happen the day before they announced permanent positions?
However, who on earth took the call on Ms. Kang's desk?
- My gosh. - Ms. Hwang Su Ji.
Why are you here again?
You ask every time, knowing the answer.
I came to see you.
Why else do you think I'd come here?
There has been a change in venue for the CEOs' seminar.
Please make sure you send the beverages...
to the new venue.
The address is...
Hang on. Why should I tell her this?
Kang Yeo Won, I hope you get in deep trouble for this.
Things are going as I planned.
I hated seeing her sticking around Mr. Bong.
Kang Yeo Won.
This is a good chance to get rid of her once and for all.
My gosh.
Why are you calling me at this late hour, Mr. Bong?
Sorry for calling you so late.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
Sure, what is it?
When you were at our office yesterday,
did you answer a phone call by any chance?
A phone call?
No, I left right away because no one was there.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I'm not an employee. Why would I answer a phone call?
- Ms. Hwang. - Mr. Bong.
I was just about to get into the shower. Let's talk another time.
I must find evidence no matter what.
Ms. Kang must be so worried.
Yeo Won. You intentionally left the room when Bo Ram...
was talking to her grandma on the phone earlier, didn't you?
I felt like I'd burst into tears if I heard her voice.
Right, I'm glad you stepped out.
If you talk to her on the phone, you'll just doubt your decision.
Aren't you thinking, "Was moving out really the right choice?"
You read my mind.
But before that, I just can't stop feeling so bad for Bo Ram.
Have you already forgotten?
You said you'd start afresh.
You told me that you'd start a new life.
Try to put your compassion aside.
Sometimes, you need to be coldhearted to get things done.
You sound like the big sister.
I, too, have years of work experience under my belt.
Right, did they announced who's getting the permanent position?
- You said they'd announce it soon. - What?
Right, not yet.
Our only hope at the moment is you getting that permanent position.
Everything will work out, Yeo Won.
Don't worry. Let's get some sleep.
Sleep tight.
(Hana Beverages)
If that's true, it'd be unfair for you to be fired because of this.
I will find a way to stop it.
I believe you, Ms. Kang.
She comes in early every day and even scraps all the articles.
No intern at this company has worked harder than she does.
Right, isn't HR supposed to announce their decision this morning?
They'll post it soon.
How are we going to face Ms. Kang?
Let's just go in, Mr. Bae.
Can we please postpone the HR announcement until tomorrow?
Are you confident that you can find evidence to clear Ms. Kang's name...
before the end of the day?
She's saying it wasn't her.
As her manager, I'm requesting time to confirm facts...
to make sure that she is not being falsely accused.
I'll get in trouble if Mr. Hwang finds out that I went ahead...
and postponed the announcement.
I'll try to find evidence as fast as I can.
Yes, sir.
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to announce the HR decisions.
Yes, sir.
Why are you standing there? Go find evidence.
Thanks a lot, Ji Hun.
Hey, Su Ji.
Ji Hun, I have a favor to ask.
Can you come to the studio?
What is it about? Is it urgent?
I can't talk about it on the phone. Let's talk in person.
Mr. Bong seems to be suspicious of me.
I better get rid of all the evidence.
I'm back, Ms. Hwang.
You should've ordered online. Why bother going to the store?
The grocery store down the street tends to be cheaper.
And they have more options too.
Alice, can you step out for a moment later?
Actually, you should go have lunch somewhere. Take your time.
Sure, I'll do that.
I see. Thank you.
What did HR say, Ms. Yang?
It's strange.
Apparently, it's been postponed to tomorrow.
It didn't sound like they know why it's being delayed.
Does that mean we have to put up with this anxiety for one more day?
By the way, where is Mr. Bong? Why isn't he here yet?
Do you want to have lunch with me if you aren't busy?
Sure, I'd love that. What time should we meet?
I Nam, did something good happen?
You seem so chipper these days.
Well, you know.
On the other hand, Yeo Ju is missing work,
saying she has to find someone.
Do you know what's going on?
I asked her, but she didn't tell me.
I wonder if Yeo Won's family is going through something.
Hey!
Did I keep you waiting long?
I told you to wait inside for my call.
I didn't wait that long.
Hop on. Let's go for a ride.
I've never been on a scooter before.
That's okay. Try it once, and it'll totally change your mind about it.
It'll get rid of your stress.
I'll hold you if you're scared.
Here.
Seon Hwa.
Ji Hun.
Who's this guy?
Well...
My name is Nam I Nam.
I'm Seon Hwa's friend.
Seon Hwa, don't ride things like this.
And be selective about who you befriend.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
He belittled me to my face.
Seon Hwa, isn't he the guy you have a crush on?
Is that how he usually talks to you?
Well, he and I have known each other since we were little.
He probably got worried when he saw your scooter.
I'm sorry, I Nam.
Let's go for a ride another time.
All right.
What? You took the call?
I forgot to relay the message.
I had no idea things would get out of hand like this.
It was obviously important, so you should've checked.
Anyway, Ms. Kang is about to be fired because of your mistake...
when she was supposed to get a permanent position.
I need you to cover it up for me.
Make sure no one finds out.
Su Ji.
You know my dad will be furious if he finds out.
And I'd rather die than admit my mistake...
in front of Kang Yeo Won.
Help me out, please.
Hello, Mr. Bong.
Ms. Kang.
Are there any other interns or employees you know...
or you're acquainted with on other teams?
No, sir.
Our team members are the only ones I know.
I see, Ms. Kang.
Hello.
I'm Senior Manager Bong Cheon Dong of International Cooperation Team.
Hello, Mr. Bong. What brings you here?
I'm sorry for asking for this, but I need to see if an outsider...
entered my office two days ago.
Give me a minute, please.
Excuse me for a second.
Delete all the security footage inside the office building...
for the past week.
And don't show the footage to anyone who asks.
Okay.
Good job.
Why are you saying you don't have any footage suddenly?
You just said you would find it for me.
I forgot that it's the maintenance period.
During the maintenance period, we have to delete the footage.
I'm very sorry.
But...
(Hana Beverages)
Did you find evidence?
It's certain that someone else took the call at her desk.
But I couldn't get the security footage.
I heard it's the maintenance period.
It feels like someone is playing a trick.
I gave you time as you asked.
I can announce the list of interns getting permanent positions, right?
Wait, Ji Hun.
I will take responsibility for what happened.
What do you mean by that?
I have a strong suspicion, but I couldn't find...
any hard evidence as you said.
However, as the leader of my team,
I can't let the intern of my team who worked very hard...
and proved her competency go like this.
- Cheon Dong. - I'll take the responsibility,
so give Ms. Kang a permanent position as planned.
Is it true, Ji Hun?
Mr. Bong submitted his resignation letter?
They're practically new clothes, but he doesn't have a younger brother.
I thought it was a waste. Now, I'm relieved you're taking them.
Trang, you're so frugal.
I bought so many outfits that cost me a lot...
but rarely got to wear.
Who are you going to give these clothes to?
My nephew.
You have a nephew? How old is he?
He's five years old.
You don't wear this coat either?
I bought it because I liked it, but I never wear it.
Do you want to have it?
Thank you, Ms. Nam.
My gosh. Why are you being so pathetic?
Trang, listen. Just get yourself new outfits.
What's wrong about sharing used clothes?
If you don't like it that much, why don't you buy her an outfit?
He has no money to buy her clothes.
He always says that buying new clothes is a waste of money.
He even borrows my suits.
Mom, I'm bored.
I miss Bo Ram and Aunt Yeo Won.
Keep working.
- Ms. Kang, let's talk. - Pardon me?
Let's talk in the staff lounge.
It looks like everyone goes there when they have something to say.
Why hasn't Mr. Bong come back yet?
Exactly.
Ms. Kang, you're such a scary woman.
I should get back to work. If you have something to say,
cut to the chase.
You should get back to work?
Are you saying you'll just make money without feeling bad?
When you ruined someone else's life?
I ruined someone else's life? What do you mean by that?
I warned you at the hospital before...
not to cause Mr. Bong to die like you did to your husband.
Ms. Hwang Su Ji.
And you ruined his life after all.
You are bogging Mr. Bong down.
Please explain so that I can understand.
What happened to Mr. Bong?
What are you going to do now?
Mr. Bong is leaving the company just to help a lousy intern...
like you get a permanent position.
Mr. Bong submitted his resignation letter instead of you.
You've ruined the life of a man with a bright future.
Are you happy now? Are you?
Why would I?
That can't be. Why did Mr. Bong do that?
Kang Yeo Won. When I'm telling you nicely,
leave of your own accord.
(Unasked Family)
Regardless of you, Ms. Hwang,
I'll make a decision for the person who believed me to the end.
Considering Mr. Bong's personality, he won't let it slide.
Then I'll make some more effort.
Don't you even feel bad that Yeo Won struggles all by herself?
I couldn't help you keep your job.
I'm very sorry.
But please... Can't we meet up just once?
