[Episode 15]
He said this was his last warning.
Cut ties with Eena Group.
They're probably annoyed by my presence at this point.
The phone is turned off. You'll be connected to the mailbox...
Why are you home so late?
Why did you turn your phone off?
It turned off on the way because it ran out of battery-
Make sure you don't turn the phone off from now on!
What's wrong with her?
When my noona was a high school senior, she played hooky once
and she had that exact expression on her face.
Anyway, what have you been doing all this time?
You probably were with Ji Ho.
So...
did you get to practice what you learned at all?
Practice, my foot.
You did.
You did!
It was worth teaching you!
What did you do?
[Love In Contract]
And Madam Yoo got furious.
We should've called her in advance.
She must've been worried.
I didn't know how late it got.
I know.
Drive safely.
Text me when you arrive.
Goodnight.
You too, Ji Ho.
It's nice.
She could've had one from a long time ago.
But how did Yoo Mi Ho acquire the recent ledger?
What?
Hey, Seon Jin.
What brings you here?
Sir, you're the only one I can depend on.
I'm here to make a suggestion for you again.
You know, Jamie Project?
What?
It's pretty interesting stuff.
But if the world finds out about it,
how much do you think Eena Group would be damaged by it?
Are you threatening me right now?
What do you mean, threatening?
I'm suggesting negotiating.
Twenty percent of Eena Construction's stock.
- What do you think? - You crazy bastard...
I think you were mistaken.
We were deceived by Jamie Project too!
Yoo Mi Ho did everything by herself!
It has nothing to do with the Eena Group.
Bingo.
I'm sure your plan is to blame her like that.
But we have quite a bit of evidence too.
And we're still collecting it.
If you don't give me the answer quickly,
we have no choice but to expose it.
Seriously...
That piece of trash!
Good. It's perfect now.
Have you decided on your career path yet?
Yeah, I narrowed it down to a few.
I'm curious.
Do you mind if I ask?
I have a few things to discuss with you anyway.
Should we talk at home later?
Yes.
I didn't know how happy I'd be to discuss my future with someone.
I didn't know how happy I'd be to have someone to discuss the future with, either.
My gosh...
Geez.
Well...
Sang Eun, if we get to live together,
what would Gwang Nam and Madam Yoo do...
Are we living together?
Huh?
You're so cute.
Why do you keep calling me cute anyway?
I'm calling you cute because you are.
You shouldn't have been born cute, then.
Ji Ho.
Have you been to an arcade?
Just like that?
Do you want to go?
The purple one.
- Can you pick it up? - Yes, I can.
Look.
It's all a skill.
Here we go!
I got it!
I knew it'd happen.
I really got it this time.
I got it! I did!
- Wow. - I really got it this time, right?
It's throwing it away.
Grab the butt...
The head! What if you grab the head?
- Wow! - I think I got it. I think I...
It's okay.
I'll go get more cash.
One, two, three!
♫ Sometimes I feel all the love ♫
♫ Sometimes I just want to be loved ♫
♫ I know too well ♫
♫ That it's hard ♫
♫ After meeting you ♫
Here.
♫ I'm starting to change ♫
You're good.
♫ When I'm with you. I think I'm falling in love with you ♫
Okay, I'll try to go faster.
I'll go fast enough, then.
- Step on it. - There.
It was a good game.
Uncle, this is really good.
Is the business going well these days?
Aigoo, don't get me started. I'm dying here.
The vegetable prices went up way too much.
Hey, have some more.
Thank you.
Do you have any news?
Your brother...
I think he's going after Choi Sang Eun and Yoo Mi Ho.
I don't know what he's trying to do.
He might just be trying to do a background check, but...
I definitely warned him not to mess with her.
Your first love...
Could she be in danger?
Looks like they're hiding out near
her house and following her too.
Get her a bodyguard first.
Should I do it myself for now?
No. It's okay, Uncle.
I'm in front of the entrance. Find out the passcode.
Hurry.
Who are you people?
S***!
Kang Seon Jin sent you, didn't he?
Hae Jin!
Are you okay?
Nothing seems to be missing.
Did you get hurt? You don't look so good.
I'm okay.
Jamie...
Is she your daughter?
You found out too.
All this happened because of that.
Kang Seon Jin is trying to weaponize that Jamie isn't the biological daughter of Eena.
They probably were here to find the key evidence.
It'd get more difficult from now on.
I should take responsibility.
Do you have a solution?
Jamie seems to have
a lot of good people around her.
It was a good thing that she ran away from me quickly.
You should call the police first.
No.
If you're sure that Kang Seon Jin did this,
I'll try meeting with him.
Also...
since Jamie doesn't know,
please keep it a secret from her.
I'm so annoyed that they look so good together.
It's nice that we can meet all the time,
not just Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I think this is why people get married.
Was it not like this before?
I was young back then.
I felt lonely, and it was tough being alone.
I just had a vague longing for a family.
Like how you wanted someone to share a meal with?
Yes.
I got married because I wanted someone to be by my side.
I didn't think about what the other person might want
or what they dreamt of for the future.
I realized that I've been selfish since I met you.
Are you different now?
I'm just thankful that we can discuss the future together.
"What would make Sang Eun happy?"
That's all I think about.
I...
thought there wasn't much to marriage.
I didn't think much of it.
But now that I'm actually
getting married after meeting you,
I have a lot of thoughts now.
What was the conclusion of your thoughts? Are things clearer now?
I don't want to tell you yet.
I really feel like I'm dreaming right now.
I have Gwang Nam, who's like my younger brother,
I have Madam Yoo, and I have you too.
I'm so happy.
Me too.
What are you doing?
Noona.
The house was turned upside down just now.
It would've been a disaster if it wasn't for Hae Jin.
Why?
You didn't get injured, right?
How's Hae Jin?
I think he's okay.
What are you up to that something like this could happen?
Who were those people anyway?
Was it Eena Group?
It was Kangjin.
Why Kangjin this time?
What do you guys do out there anyway
that corporations barge into our house?
I said I wanted to quit.
I asked you to stay put. Is that so hard?
Don't worry so much.
It'll be over soon.
How can you possibly do that?
You think you're your old self?
I told you to just stay at home!
It's all my fault.
So I should sort it out myself.
Aigoo!
How could I leave Choi Sang Eun alone and leave in a situation like this?
Geez, I'm worried about Madam Yoo too.
Would they be okay without me?
Yes, Hyungnim.
You heard, right?
I sort of did.
What's wrong with them anyway? Was it Eena? Kangjin?
I'm the one who's sorry.
No, why would you be sorry...
So, I was thinking that
you should watch Sang Eun by her side for a while.
Is she in that much danger?
Just to be safe, Gwang Nam.
I'll count on you.
Just trust me this once, Father.
As long as we get 20% of Eena Construction, we'd have the upper hand.
I worked really hard to get that deal.
How on earth would you be able to?
Chairman, we might run late.
Let's get going.
I don't ask for great things from you two.
You just need to be good at what you're supposed to do.
Only what you're supposed to do.
- Yes. - Yes.
Why do you keep digging into Choi Sang Eun?
Are you following me now?
Wow, my biggest enemy was right here.
Can't you stop doing that?
Hey, Kang Yoo Jin. You bastard.
I took care of you because I pitied you.
Now you're trying to one-up me because your head got too big.
You think I just let you because I like you?
Stop acting cheeky!
Stop messing with me!
Okay, fine.
I'll ask you one last time.
Please leave that woman alone.
Wow, you told me that you were here to watch me before.
Are you already lowering your tail?
Yoo Jin.
Yoo Jin, Yoo Jin!
You thought things were easy in this field, right?
You thought you could just do whatever, right?
I'm on a different level than you, who was in the entertainment business.
Hey, by the way...
who is that Choi Sang Eun woman to you anyway?
How interesting.
Madam Tiffany-
Ms. Yoo Mi Ho.
I'm sorry for not recognizing you before.
What do you have as a weapon anyway?
What do you have as a weapon, then?
I guess you went through my house to find that out.
Why would I leave that in my house in this day and age?
Can't believe that's what you thought.
I wasn't necessarily trying to find it.
More like a final confirmation, maybe?
I already have enough evidence.
Would you be okay with Jamie?
If the world found out about her?
That silly project.
It damages Eena only a little bit.
You might as well totally destroy them.
Don't you think?
I guess you're confident.
I have a lot to repay Jung Gil Tae too.
What would you like to do?
I think it'd be better if you stayed put.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
This is too funny.
It's hilarious!
Ms. Yoo Mi Ho.
I don't think you understand what's going on at all.
I'm not just targeting Eena.
Try your best to destroy them, then.
Fighting.
This is the same one I gave to Ms. Yoo.
I think she's trying to take all the blame.
I hope she doesn't,
but it looks like she already made up her mind.
Is everything okay with you?
Of course.
Here.
This is the last of it.
I'm not the same I used to be.
It wasn't easy to get that.
This is all I need.
So, what is your plan anyway?
I need to know so I can prepare for the worst.
If this is exposed,
Eena's value will hit rock bottom.
It might become impossible to revive.
Will you expose it?
If I do, all of Kang Seon Jin's plans would be ruined
and neither Eena nor Kangjin
would be able to touch Jamie.
But if that happens,
you'd be in danger too.
I'm fine...
as long as Jamie can be happy.
I'll make sure
you don't get affected by it.
Thank you.
It didn't feel right to tell Lady Jamie myself.
I thought...
you might have another solution.
That's why I'm here, sir.
Yes. I'm glad you did.
I'll try to come up with a solution too.
Thank you.
Are you getting off work on time tonight?
Should I be at your place?
I'm sorry, Sang Eun.
I just found out that I need to work late.
I'm worried you'd get tired.
Don't worry about me. Just focus on work.
[Hiring]
Yes, hello. I'm calling about the recruitment proposal email I got.
It didn't describe the work environment in detail.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
If so...
does it mean that the work hours might be irregular?
I see. Thank you.
You have to have dinner at home with your family.
Next.
Let's eat.
- Hey! - Hyung.
What's this? Where's mine?
Let's share mine.
I'm on a diet these days.
No, you should eat it.
What are you doing here at this hour, by the way?
- Did you by chance... - It's not like that.
It's really nice to see you both today.
It's tough, isn't it?
Nothing is easy.
How's scouting new face coming along?
Gwang Nam, that bastard is playing hard to get.
Maybe he has a safety net.
He said he prefers busking
than becoming a star singer. Aigoo.
To each their own, I suppose.
Looks like she'd get a prison sentence no matter what.
I'm asking for your help, so she can avoid a prison sentence.
I'll handle the file. I want you to represent her.
We can't exclude only Yoo Mi Ho from the file, though.
You know that's fabricating, right?
I'll do that if that's the only way.
Oppa, if this gets out-
Yes.
I might need to quit my job.
What?
My position isn't that important.
Because you care about Choi Sang Eun more?
She's the one who helped me go on for the past five years.
She's the one who changed me too.
You're being reckless.
I know.
Do you think this is really what she wants?
Have you thought about that?
I'll do my best.
Whether she wants it or not,
this is for her benefit.
Okay.
I'll try my best too.
Thank you.
Also...
I'm sorry.
Our divorce was...
partially my fault too.
I don't think...
I got the chance to tell you that.
We were young...
and also very different.
We were clumsy too.
But I appreciate you telling me that.
Why is there so much material?
I'll be working late after all.
Sang Eun!
Hello!
Don't hurry back, Judge Jung!
Enjoy your time!
You should've called me earlier.
I guess I should've come straight to your office.
Well, that might be difficult.
All of my coworkers like you...
so I can't just have you all to myself.
Also...
I can't hold your hand like this, either.
Looks like you got busier these days.
Are more people getting divorced all of a sudden?
I guess the gentle wind
makes them want to break up.
You're not skipping any meals, right?
Of course not.
You look...
prettier than usual today.
When was I ever not pretty?
I missed you.
That's why I ran to you so we can see each other briefly.
Thank you.
I...
need to get back to work.
Thank you for coming.
I'll get going. Call me when you get back.
Okay.
She'll be your attorney.
I'm Jung Ji Eun.
What's this now, Judge Jung?
Don't do what you were planning to do.
I'll take care of it.
I don't want to
cause you any damage.
This is for Sang Eun.
I have no way out.
I'll pay for
my own sin.
The time period you were directly involved with Eena Group's corruption
is past the statute of limitations.
But if Chairman Jung Gil Tae insists that
you did this single-handedly,
it'd be a different story.
Your account was partially used too.
I noticed you've received money from Jung Gil Tae until recently.
That might become a problem.
That's why I'm telling you to leave me alone.
Please tell me...
about the things that can't be looked up.
There must be a way.
If there isn't,
we'll make one.
- No! - Are you saying
you'd fabricate the data or something?
Madam Yoo, come and eat.
I'm calling you because I have too much food.
I'm okay.
Really?
Okay.
Where's Gwang Nam anyway?
Hello?
This is Jung Ji Eun.
I'd like to talk to you briefly.
I support Ji Ho and your relationship.
I know that Oppa is ready to give up
on everything for you, too, but...
I thought you wouldn't want
him to lose everything, either.
Thank you for telling me.
Regardless of what I told you,
I'll do my best to defend Yoo Mi Ho.
Knock, knock.
[Eena Group]
What brings you here at this hour?
I heard you've been working late for days and was curious.
Is there an urgent case I don't know about?
No, I'm just sorting some stuff out.
You're not protesting here because you fought with Sang Eun, right?
Did my queen's method not work out?
It usually works every time.
No, it worked.
Of course.
My queen would be happy. I should report to her.
Yes, please hurry home and report to her.
- We're getting along well. - Okay.
You should go home and rest too.
We should share the good stuff.
It's sad to eat alone.
Sharing makes you happy.
I'm happy.
You're happy, right?
Let's be really happy.
I'm happy.
Let's do well.
[Eena Group]
Ji Ho, what's wrong with you anyway?
Sang Eun!
How could you do something like that without discussing it with me?
When you faced a difficult situation last time,
you asked me to wait.
And I respected your reasoning.
To be honest,
I was sad.
Because it felt like there was nothing I could do.
I didn't want to keep my distance from you, either.
So I decided not to be like that this time.
Thankfully,
it was something I could do.
I know how you feel, Ji Ho.
But I...
I don't want something bad to happen to you because of me.
Could you...
just let me suffer alone?
- Sang Eun. - Don't do it.
Promise me.
If you don't promise me,
I'll never see you again.
Okay.
I promise.
You'd better tell me if you're deceiving me too.
Noona, to be honest...
How could both Ji Ho and Madam Yoo do that without discussing it with me?
It's probably because they care about you.
You finally found your happiness.
They didn't want you to worry
and they wanted you to be happier, and they wanted it to last.
That's probably why.
So you should try to understand.
Madam Yoo, Ji Ho, Hae Jin hyung,
and me too.
It's all because we care about you.
What?
The husband you're working for right now
is a judge, huh?
What does that have to do with anything?
Kang Hae Jin and a judge. Wow.
You made some good contracts.
You're talented.
They have nothing to do with me.
They're just clients.
Why would Kang Hae Jin beg you to spare you if he's just a client?
Geez, I must've underestimated Jamie.
What does Yoo Mi Ho have anyway?
You probably don't have good feelings toward Eena Group, either.
You don't want Jamie Project to be revealed, either.
I don't need your help or anything,
but I'm giving you a chance
for the old time's sake.
So...
you're telling me to bring you what Madam Yoo has?
I'll tell you this for the old time's sake too.
Jamie Project?
Reveal it.
What's the big deal?
Looks like Hae Jin is beating you these days.
You look desperate.
Yes, Chairman.
Stop calling me about some nonsense.
I told your father.
That we won't be involved with Kangjin anymore.
Why don't you try to be more like your younger brother?
Fine.
Let's see how this ends.
Mr. Woo?
Let's talk for a second.
This is the only thing I can give you now.
Sell everything.
A-Are you going somewhere?
Is it because of Noona?
Sometimes,
it's better not to know everything.
If you do, it'd be a headache.
Everyone around me is becoming miserable.
Where are you going?
You woke up early.
Sit. Let's talk.
What's this?
To be honest, I moved in here
to give that to you.
I didn't get to do it right away.
But I think it's time now.
[Choi Sang Eun]
What did you want to tell me?
Did you really...
think I wouldn't know?
Why didn't you ever come back to Korea?
I missed you so much.
Did you really think
I'd live in the house you got me
as your mistress
without anyone knowing?
When you had an arranged marriage a long time ago,
our personal relationship ended.
You raised her well. What a pretty girl.
Jamie.
Especially her eyes.
I was surprised because they resemble yours so much.
Did you think...
I wouldn't know that she's your daughter?
What a woman you are.
You took advantage of the daughter you abandoned.
By chance,
are you trying to get her to fulfill your ambition?
You should keep your mouth shut for your own sake.
The person who'd get the most out of my daughter
is you.
[Recording saved]
So you shouldn't go!
Don't turn yourself in!
You think I'd be grateful if you took all the blame?
You think I'd be moved?
Just stay by my side!
Don't abandon me again!
Just stay put!
I want to call you "mom," too.
Stay by my side until it's no longer awkward
to call you mom.
[Attorney Jung Ji Eun] Sorry for keep bothering you.
But I think Ji Ho is having risky thoughts.
I think he's planning to make Yoo Mi Ho escape abroad before things blow up.
Sang Eun, you need to stop him before it's too late.
Ji Ho, you're not working late tonight, right?
I'll make you dinner.
Well...
You came.
Sang Eun, what's all this...
I'm good at cleaning up now, right?
You must've had a lot of work today too.
Why are so many people getting divorced?
Well, it's almost over.
Let's have dinner together every night from now on.
I'll try to make time for lunch too.
Why aren't you eating?
I'm eating.
Ji Ho.
I was happy eating with you like this
for the past five years.
Me too.
I'm happy now as well.
♫ I guess I was hoping it'd never end ♫
♫ Just like the sun that shines forever ♫
♫ I try to name the heart that doesn't belong to anyone ♫
♫ But it refuses to accept it ♫
I'm good at applying different rules myself now.
Aren't I a fast learner?
It was worth teaching you.
You look kind of different today.
What changed?
I'm not sure...
Maybe it's because you're now relaxed after working overtime these days?
My Ji Ho.
The more I see you, the more handsome you are.
You're also...
the prettier, the more I see you.
♫ No matter how much we circle around each other, there's a gap between us ♫
♫ Maybe we're on a merry-go-round ♫
[Kangjin Group's Sales Report]
[Makeup of the Sales]
That's all.
You were capable of doing this.
What have you been doing all this time?
Isn't it too risky?
I just...
wanted to protect the 13 years of time you spent running away.
I didn't want you to get involved with these people again.
I know how you feel, Hae Jin.
But I'll try it myself now.
You did it yourself
13 years ago too.
You can do it again this time too.
I feel more courageous now.
There's one thing...
I didn't get to tell you.
I was worried your happiness might be destroyed because of that.
Kang Seon Jin.
He's still your brother.
Don't worry about me.
Just focus on yourself.
Could you help me with one thing?
It'd be difficult to get in without a pass.
You should accompany a secretary and a bodyguard too.
I'll be there,
but you never know.
I'd like to start by apologizing.
I didn't get to focus on work because I've been
looking into something. I'm sorry.
Today,
I have something to tell you.
Hello.
I'm Jamie, the daughter of Eena Group.
I grew up abroad since I was a kid
and came back to Korea when I was 20.
And the day I came back,
I got to meet with the family that owns Kangjin Group.
What are you doing? Do you even know where you are?
Also, that night,
I found out the truth I didn't want to know
and that evening was
very torturous.
Excuse me for a second.
You want to seduce me, don't you?
Kang Seon Jin, you remember that night, too, right?
What are you talking about?
You guys have seen this woman before, right?
Do you think anyone would believe what a woman like you have to say?
Listen to the rest of it yourself.
You want to seduce me, don't you?
I know you want to be the daughter-in-law of Kangjin.
You should secure the eldest son, then.
What that old man has would eventually be mine.
I'll kick everyone out once everything becomes mine.
Same with the woman, who's pretending to be my mom,
and my father, who lives with that awful woman too.
I'll make all of them homeless.
So you just need to impress me.
I'll go back inside-
By the way, your mom is really ugly.
The chairman of Eena isn't so good-looking, either.
But how could you be...
Does this make any sense?
I think...
you look like that good-looking woman who's standing in the back.
Yeah.
Even the cool atmosphere you have too.
Wow.
You have a really pretty butt.
Choi Ran Hee has the best body.
I don't know who your mom is,
but hold onto me tightly if you want to be a good daughter.
I'll see you later privately then.
Hae Jin!
You dirty bastard!
You punk!
Did I say anything wrong?
Her whole existence is a lie.
It's true!
It's true that Eena Group created a daughter they didn't have to marry into our family too!
She's the daughter of Eena Group's nanny!
- Shut up, you bastard! - Hyung, relax!
Father!
Get that Kang Seon Jin bastard out of here!
Father!
Yes, Sang Eun.
Ji Ho.
Do you remember when you
called me to the court on some Thursday?
That was the first time I saw you in court.
You looked so cool working.
Is this too out of the blue?
Should I try wearing glasses more often, then?
I miss you.
I'll get dinner ready. It'll be salmon.
Ji Ho, if I happen to be late,
don't wait for me and eat alone.
Don't skip the meal.
Yes.
She should be here soon.
The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail.
Ji Ho, if I happen to be late,
don't wait for me and eat alone.
Don't skip the meal.
That day,
she never showed up.
♫ Open the door ♫
♫ Take more time ♫
♫ You shined on me, and I'll be like springtime for you ♫
♫ You became light and shined on me ♫
♫ You're the only one for me ♫
[Love In Contract]
I don't have the courage to see him.
What would I do if we're really breaking up?
If you met someone you can truly love, don't let go of him.
You counsel your ex-husband and his current wife too.
It's not an easy thing to do.
It's because I'm jealous! I'm jealous.
I don't think I've been in love like that.
You might as well propose impressively if you decided to marry her anyway.
Ji Ho.
Will you marry me?
♫ You shined on me, and I'll be like... ♫
