- Hello. - Hello.
Give us 2 cups of vanilla latte and 3 cups of Americano.
Two cups of vanilla latte...
and three cups of Americano?
- Sure. Just a moment, please. - What?
Dae Sik.
Nam Jin.
What are you doing here?
- Did you move to Seoul too? - Yes.
Jin Ah disappeared the day before our wedding,
so I came to Seoul right away...
to find her.
Kang Dae Sik?
What are you doing here? Do you work at this cafe?
Yes.
I'm the owner.
What? You own this cafe?
- Did you... - It's so obvious.
I bet he found out that Jin Ah now works at Hyunkang...
and pestered his Dad to finance him to open up a cafe here.
- Aren't I right? - My gosh, how did you know?
There's a stalker right here.
I have no idea why Jin Ah is calling you a stalker instead.
I... I'm not a stalker.
I'm her legal husband. Why am I a stalker?
Her legal husband?
What is he talking about?
Is it true, Dae Sik?
Did you really open up this cafe because of Jin Ah?
Yes.
Jin Ah said that if I get a job here in Seoul...
and become a cool man, she might reconsider...
our marriage.
What?
Hey. Do you believe her?
Do you believe what Jin Ah said?
Gosh. Jin Ah is a successful designer at Hyunkang.
Why would she do that?
Please stop it, Mr. Lee.
When will our coffee be ready, Team Manager Ahn?
"Team Manager Ahn"?
Nam Jin, did you also get a job...
at Hyunkang?
It happened.
Are you saying that you and Jin Ah are working at the same company?
I... I can't believe this.
You said...
you got a job as a caregiver,
and you couldn't reach Jin Ah.
It's a long story.
My goodness. Will you give us coffee or not?
If not, we'll go somewhere else.
Please wait. I'll make it quickly.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Thank you for driving me home.
Don't think about anything and get some rest tonight.
I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said earlier.
I didn't say that on a whim.
So please consider it seriously.
It wasn't easy...
to tell you that.
Why would you choose a difficult path?
You can just ignore a person like me...
and keep moving forward.
I tried to do so too.
However,
I can't seem to control my feelings...
when it comes to you.
The harder I tried not to think about you,
the more I thought of you.
And I missed you more.
I thought I would never...
fall for anyone in my life.
But I was wrong.
I also...
like you.
I know I shouldn't.
I know you're someone I shouldn't even dare to think I could be with.
But I can't stop falling for you.
- However... - You...
wouldn't understand me who says you make my heart flutter...
when I have someone else...
to marry.
Nevertheless,
I can't give up on Hyunkang.
Hyunkang...
means everything to me and my mom.
Then you can give up on me instead.
No.
I will never give up on you.
I can't do that.
My marriage will be a business deal.
I will be committed to only you.
I will also do everything I can to help you...
become a great designer and dominate the fashion industry...
in Korea.
Goodness. Are you saying that the man we met...
registered his marriage to Jin Ah behind her back?
- Yes. - That's ridiculous.
Why did she do nothing about him? She should've sent him to prison.
I bet Jin Ah had no choice.
Since her parents might be sued for fraud,
she probably couldn't think of only herself.
I feel so bad for Jin Ah.
Dae Sik opened up a cafe in front of our office building.
I'm worried he might put Jin Ah in a difficult position.
Are you still worrying about her after all that she did to you?
I understand her.
Her hometown and family...
I understand that she wanted to forget about everything.
That's why she tries to act even colder towards me.
I envy you.
What do you mean?
Having such a close friend...
whom you can understand so deeply like that.
It's not that I understand her deeply.
We just know each other well as we spent a lot of time together.
Do you think you and I will come to know each other that well...
if we spend a lot of time together?
I don't think it'll take us long to reach that point.
What? What do you mean by that?
Seung Joo, you are so innocent...
that I can see right through you.
I've already figured it out.
Gosh. I shouldn't have said anything.
Thank you.
- For what? - For always pointing me...
in the right direction at the right timing.
I came to my senses earlier today thanks to you.
If you really are grateful, stay alert and focus on your work.
Do you hear me?
Of course. Yes, Ms. Drill Sergeant.
Salute.
Goodness, you.
What's the matter, Man Seok?
Do you know you haven't said a word...
for the past two hours since you came home?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Are you angry at me or something?
I wouldn't know if you don't tell me.
How did it go, Mr. Hwang?
I checked the CCTV footage. It was Ko Seon Gyu as expected.
He came in right after you and your wife went out.
I see.
Yeon Sil, you knew it, didn't you?
Know what?
I don't know anything.
You knew that Seon Gyu...
sold my shares.
Did Seon Gyu sell your shares?
What should we do?
Where is Seon Gyu now?
I don't know. He called me earlier to say he'd change his number...
and go into hiding. Then he hung up the phone.
Do you really not know anything about it?
No. I know nothing about it.
Then how did he find out my password to the trading website?
Tell me honestly.
It's not too late, so tell me the truth.
Seon Gyu asked me about Seung Joo's birthday,
so I told him.
That's all I did.
When Seung Joo met you for the first time, she said...
that you're a gold digger.
But I denied it.
I pushed forward with our marriage because I loved you so much.
How could you do this to me?
Man Seok...
Let's end it here.
What? End what?
I will divorce you, Yeon Sil.
I won't get divorced. Don't say such a thing.
You said you love me.
You can't do this, Man Seok.
I won't get divorced.
I can't.
I...
I like you, Jin Ah.
But I cannot marry you.
Jin Ah, are you sleeping?
I guess she's sleeping.
Right, sleep is the best medication.
There.
Thanks for dinner, Mr. Jang.
You look very happy, so I had a great time too.
- Do I look happy today? - Yes.
I think we can expect good news soon.
What is it about?
An extraordinary shareholders' meeting will probably be held soon.
An extraordinary shareholders' meeting?
- About what? - It's a secret.
It's getting late. You should get going.
We have to say goodbye.
Here.
Gosh! What do you think you're doing?
I told you...
that I wouldn't let it slide if you lay even just a finger on my angel.
I'm just giving her a goodbye kiss on the back of her hand.
There's no reason for you to get so worked up.
You can't do this when I'm not around.
You said it should be fair play. How could you do this?
"Fair play"?
Are you a kid or what?
Why are you doing this to me?
My angel, it's chilly. I'll escort you.
Let's go inside.
I'll head in, Mr. Jang. You should get going.
Ms. Choi.
- Could you give me a cup of coffee? - Coffee?
Sure, that's no problem.
What? Why drink coffee at this late hour?
Also, don't you know that it's discourteous...
to invite yourself to someone's place this late?
Do you own this house?
This house?
No.
Ms. Choi, let's go in.
I don't own it, but it is Nam Jin's house!
You see, I'm so happy these days.
You always keep me company,
and Nam Jin thinks of me as part of his family.
There's also Mr. Lee who makes us laugh all the time.
Doesn't Mr. Lee have such a great sense of humor?
He's also very down-to-earth.
Something's fishy here.
Do you have feelings for him?
No, of course not.
I'm just happy...
to be part of this family. That's all I meant.
Ms. Yang, my gosh. Hurry.
Let's put everything away.
Is no one home? Why is it so quiet?
My gosh. You're back, Ms. Choi.
You're just getting in?
What about Nam Jin?
He said he'd give Seung Joo a ride home.
I see.
Gosh, I'm tired. I should go to bed.
- My gosh, be careful. - Wait, what's going on?
Why are you both staggering like that?
You're even slurring your words.
- You two must've been drinking. - No, not at all.
What are you talking about?
We didn't even touch a drop of alcohol.
Well, have a good time.
Please bring out some fruit and tea, Ms. Heo.
- Mr. Jang, do you want coffee? - Yes.
I'd like a cup of Solomon's seal tea.
I'll have Solomon's seal tea as well.
Sure.
I'll do it. You should go and get some rest.
No, it's okay. I got this.
I apologize.
You don't need to apologize to me.
Go get some sleep.
Mr. Lee.
You're such a wonderful person.
Well, please don't tell my brother about this.
What? An extraordinary shareholders' meeting has been called?
- For what? - Well, it's...
I think I know what it's about. You can tell me.
Reappointment of CEO due to the change of majority shareholder.
Okay.
- So when will it be held? - The day after tomorrow, sir.
How speedy. Ms. Choi is really something.
I need you to go to the States?
Pardon me? The States?
Steve Jung will give you a document.
- I just need you to bring it. - Sure. No problem, sir.
Go to the airport right away and catch the earliest flight.
You have to come back before the shareholders' meeting.
Got it. See you soon, sir.
I told him to make an appointment and come back another day,
but he insisted on waiting until you came.
It's been a while, Mr. Han.
I know, right? I didn't think I'd have to see you ever again.
Come in.
What brings you here at this early hour?
My shares. Was it your doing?
Your shares?
Shares for what?
The ones you got my brother-in-law...
to transfer to you after the market hours.
Those shares were yours?
- I had no idea. - You didn't know?
Goodness.
Since you refused transferring your shares to me,
I've been buying Hyunkang's shares every day.
And yesterday, a large number of shares became available...
after the market hours,
so I bought them all.
Unbelievable.
It's not like the owner's name is written on them.
I simply bought shares that were available.
Is it wrong?
Look, Ms. Choi.
Would my brother-in-law...
sell them and disappear if there was nothing in it for him?
The money from selling those shares would be deposited into my account.
He's not getting anything out of it.
Then why would he sell them?
You're right.
Your brother-in-law is so weird.
Why did he do something that would yield no profit for him?
You've been so fixated on my shares,
and I think I now know why.
You're probably trying to get Si Woo appointed as CEO...
without having to compete with Mr. Ahn to inherit the company.
You won't have your way though.
We'll see.
Once I set my mind to something,
I make sure I achieve it.
You probably think that my company, Minhan,
is just one of your subcontractors that have no power,
but I'll do my very best.
I'll make sure Mr. Ahn Nam Jin...
inherits the company, not Si Woo.
I'm going to help him.
Sure, go ahead.
Nam Jin must feel very supported...
to have a cheerleader like you.
Ms. Yoo, my guest is leaving.
I'm glad Seung Joo's engagement to Si Woo fell through.
I'm incredibly relieved.
I feel the same way.
What do you mean you can't do it?
Come on, why are you being like this?
Why are you doing this to me?
Mr. Gwon, we've been working together for over 10 years.
What am I supposed to do if even you're doing this to me?
Hello?
My gosh.
- Did he refuse? - Yes.
Why can't he do it?
I bet he doesn't want to fall out of favor with Mr. Choi.
What do you mean by that?
What if he helps us out,
and Mr. Choi ends up inheriting the company?
I think he's worried he might lose his client.
This is driving me crazy. We need a factory to make clothes.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Pardon me?
With Ms. Han?
Dad.
What are you doing here, Dad?
I am here to see my loving daughter.
Hello, Mr. Han.
Both of you, please sit.
- Okay. - Okay.
I asked the two of you to come here because Mr. Han said...
that he had something to tell you two.
What we were worried about...
has happened.
What do you mean by that?
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Han's shares...
were all sold to Choi Si Woo through a block deal.
What? Dad, how did it happen?
My brother-in-law...
I mean, Ko Seon Gyu, that jerk...
It looks like he plotted with Managing Director Choi.
What did you say?
I knew it. Something felt wrong.
Come to think of it, I bet Ko Seon Gyu was the one...
who stole the share transfer agreement.
What?
You didn't just lose it, but someone stole it?
That's right. He found out the door passcode to sneak into her studio.
Oh, right.
You told me your door passcode via text message, right?
Yes.
Darn. That little...
Ms. Choi denied it and got so upset.
Dad, let's report to the police right now.
We have no proof.
Ms. Choi said...
she happened to buy the shares through the after-hours trading.
Since it was a legitimate deal,
even if I report to the police, she'll be acquitted.
If I just put my mind to it,
I can get my hands on it easily.
Now I see what she meant by that.
I didn't know Ms. Choi could be this scary.
What happens if Mr. Choi has Mr. Han's shares?
Mr. Choi will be the biggest shareholder.
He'll be the biggest shareholder? Does that mean...
That's right. They're trying to drag me down from my position...
as the interim CEO.
Mr. Heo, if you step down from your position,
what will happen?
What will happen to the competition and the fashion contests?
It will all be pointless.
If he becomes the CEO,
why would he compete for the succession rights?
That is ridiculous.
We must stop that from happening no matter what.
The shareholders have already been summoned to a meeting.
It's about replacing the CEO...
due to the change of the biggest shareholder.
I bet most of the shareholders can assume...
that Mr. Choi will become...
the new CEO.
So that's why.
What do you mean?
All the factories we contacted refused to produce...
our products.
- What? - I'm so worried.
We don't have much time left until the contest ending date.
We also contacted the factory in Daejeon where Mr. Oh works.
But they don't have equipment for nano-processing.
Nano-processing?
I'll take up that work.
You will?
Who else will produce the clothes you designed if I, your dad, don't?
Dad.
Under one condition.
Make sure to win this, Nam Jin.
Thank you. I'll do my best, Mr. Han.
Then I'll do the rest.
How about you move it a little to the side?
To this side?
Okay.
The lining shines more brightly under the light.
And...
So does your hair.
It looks nice. Have you secured the quantity of the lace fabric?
Yes, ma'am. Ms. Kim closed the deal with the company in Italy.
There might be no contest,
but we should do our best to the end since we're professional.
Of course.
Hello, Ms. Choi.
Oh, right. Mr. Choi, you talked to So Jeong, right?
Pardon?
Well... Yes.
We're going to meet her family this evening.
I received a text message about the place.
Okay.
It seems like So Jeong's mother set the date for the engagement.
We'll be busy preparing for your engagement within this month.
Where is Mr. Jang? Did he step out?
He went to the sample room.
Keep up the good work.
Is Mr. Choi getting engaged?
Apparently, he is.
Welcome...
Yeon Ji.
Your lunchtime is almost over. What brings you here?
I'm so upset.
My design was completely ignored, so all I do is run errands.
And Mr. Choi...
is getting engaged to a woman from a rich family in a month.
Why are you upset...
about Mr. Choi getting engaged?
I called dibs on him.
But he betrayed me and is getting engaged. Wouldn't I be upset?
You must be upset.
You must be really upset.
I lost the man I love, but I can't lose my job.
Oh, I forgot.
Yeon Ji.
Could you give this to Jin Ah?
It helps to boost your energy and improve your stomach health.
Why are you asking me to do that?
Well...
It's because you work with Jin Ah in the same office.
If I bring this to her, she will throw a tantrum.
If you want to give it to her, do it yourself.
But she won't even see me.
Then leave it at the lobby.
Lobby?
That's a great idea.
Are you saying that Minhan will produce our clothes?
Yes. My dad...
invested a lot of money into the facilities.
He said he can do nano-processing and water-repellent finishing.
That's such great news.
I was so worried.
I told you not to worry...
because Mr. Ahn would figure something out.
The drill sergeant of our team made this possible.
So thank Seung Joo.
Gosh. You should thank my dad, not me.
I want to thank Mr. Ahn, Ms. Drill Sergeant,
and Seung Joo's father. I want to thank all of you.
All right. Let's write a purchase order first.
And let's work hard from tomorrow to meet the production deadline.
Yes, sir.
- We can do it. - We can do it.
Hello.
Could you please give this...
So Jeong's mother said that Juseong...
wants a tie-up with our company.
A tie-up?
They have only construction, financial, and resort businesses.
They're dreaming of running a large corporate through a tie-up.
- Who? - Jung Jin Ah.
I don't think I can help you.
I'm Designer Jung Jin Ah's husband.
- I need to confirm it first. - You can just give this to her.
- I'll check first. - Can you just...
- Hello. - I'm her husband.
Hello.
I'm sorry, but I can't...
Did you say you're Ms. Jung's husband?
Yes.
Ms. Jung is the designer of our team.
I didn't know she was married.
I am Jin Ah's husband.
Ms. Jung is still in the office. Put him through her.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
You're home, Man Seok.
Have you eaten dinner?
Did you skip all your meals?
I have no appetite.
What is this?
It's a divorce agreement.
You just need to fill out your part.
Don't do this, Man Seok.
It's... It's all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
Please don't divorce me.
I've already made up my mind,
so being like this won't change anything.
You're young, Yeon Sil.
You can meet a nice man and start over again.
No. No.
I love you, Man Seok.
I really love you.
I didn't know that those shares were so important to you.
Seon Gyu said you'd earn a lot by selling those shares...
and that he'd also get a big payout, with which he can start something,
so I just gave him Seung Joo's date of birth.
It's all over now.
It's too late to turn back now, so we should just end it here.
I'll go make young radish bibimbap for you.
I hope it cheers you up...
so that you can move on with your life.
Yeon Sil, are you...
(It's My Life)
What? Ms. Jung Jin Ah came to see her?
What on earth are you doing here?
I guess I'll have to die for this to end.
Is Ms. Ko Yeon Sil's family here?
She'll have to go to a different hospital.
Will I die?
Let's lay off those we don't need and get the projects going.
I'm disappointed in all of you.
Do you always give up when things don't seem hopeful?
