(Episode 14)
Mr. Hwang. I have something to tell you.
It's important.
Please make time for me.
Hyeon Ju.
- Do Gyum. - Let's go.
I found an important piece of evidence.
I need to meet Mr. Hwang.
Later. Tell him later.
Wait.
Secretary Nam.
Can we move up our plans for today?
Someone's following me?
I saw him as I was getting off the taxi.
I saw that car in front of Kim Hyun Su's house.
I'm sure Chairwoman Kim hired him.
I talked to Kim Hyun Su's brother.
Did you find anything out?
He left for Australia yesterday.
He didn't tell him where he was going,
nor did he tell him what happened.
He just asked him to put his apartment on the market.
I found out who stole the contract from my office.
How?
There wasn't anyone suspicious on the surveillance footage.
(Mr. Hwang, Answer, Reject)
Hello?
I'd like to meet you right now.
Darn it.
Hey, mister.
Why did you stop all of a sudden?
What are you talking about?
Where are you running off to after causing an accident?
Call your insurance company first.
I have to go!
Where are you going? Are you trying to commit a hit-and-run?
No. I have to go.
Mr. Hwang.
What you asked for has been taken care of.
As soon as the insurance company gets the black box footage,
I'll get it and look over the video.
He works closely with Chairwoman Kim,
so I'm sure he was the one who contacted Kim Hyun Su...
or the audit team.
We just need to hope that there's still evidence left.
How long can you hold him?
I think I can get him for about 30 minutes.
Also,
what will you do about the temporary shareholders' meeting?
Please proceed as planned.
You lost Seo Hyeon Ju?
What do you mean?
I understand, so take care of it as soon as possible...
and go to Seo Hyeon Ju's house.
If she gets there after you,
it means she did something in between,
so report it to me immediately.
I found it.
The internal audit team was the one...
who changed the document.
Can't we prove that the dual contract...
was fake with this?
We can even prove that this was Chairwoman Kim's doing.
I'm going to reveal this.
Don't get involved anymore.
Also, you can't come to me like you did today.
Why not? Because Chairwoman Kim might find out?
Is she not allowed to know?
I'll talk to her.
I'll ask her why she's doing this to us.
We need to know why she's doing it, so it's not so frustrating.
You should go back.
Kim Su Jeong had the music box...
that you got me.
I received a memo telling me to pick up the music box,
but the owner of the store said nothing was ready.
Also, I saw Kim Su Jeong paying...
the man who gave me the memo.
Kim Su Jeong sent the memo?
How did you know about that?
I saw it by chance in the student lounge.
That's all.
Mr. Hwang.
Ms. Seo is at home right now.
Just in case,
look into the person who caused the accident.
Make sure you don't take your eyes off Seo Hyeon Ju...
until this whole thing is over.
(To Min Ju, whom I love.)
Kim Su Jeong sent a fake memo...
to take this away.
Why?
Kim Su Jeong had the music box that you got me.
I received a memo telling me to pick up the music box,
but the owner of the store said nothing was ready.
You made this, right?
Also, I saw Kim Su Jeong paying...
the man who gave me the memo.
Chairwoman Kim was behind everything.
(Hyeon Ju, I apologize for what happened earlier.)
Mr. Hwang, if I had met with you that day,
would things have been different between us?
(Mr. Hwang, if I had met with you that day,)
(would things have been different between us?)
(Team Leader, Seo Hyeon Ju)
My daughter,
where are you? Are you going to work?
Hi, Mom. Is something wrong?
Nothing is wrong. I was just wondering how you were.
Is everything okay?
Everything is okay. Don't worry.
Okay, then. Drive safe.
Okay, I will.
I'm not sure if she's telling us...
everything is okay because it is...
or because she doesn't want us to worry.
It would be nice if everything was okay,
but you never know what could happen.
Let's get the money to pay the company ready...
in advance.
If we pay them back the money, I'm sure they won't sue us.
It's one million dollars. Do we have that kind of money?
We can't sell our house,
but even if we sell the land that we have...
and use our savings, it won't even be half of it.
Should I get a part-time job at the supermarket?
Let's try to pull together...
all the money we have first.
Let me see, where is it?
Why bother? Everything we have still won't be enough.
("The Holy Bible")
Let's see.
These are my emergency funds that I've saved for over 10 years.
My goodness.
How much is all of this?
Why did you say you didn't have money last time?
When?
Two years ago. When I asked you...
to give me some money to help pay for my trip abroad with my friends,
you said you were so broke you would need to sell...
your used underwear. Didn't you say that to me?
- I don't remember. - You said that last winter...
when I asked you to buy me a coat I liked...
when it went on sale.
You gave me the long Johns you were wearing because you were broke.
If you went on that trip and bought that jacket,
do you think we'd have this money?
Is that what's important right now?
What's important here is that you put money aside in secret...
and pretended like you didn't have a penny to your name.
I'm taking all of this.
No way.
When everyone else was wearing designer brands,
I sewed the holes in my socks so that I could save up this money.
I was the one who sewed the holes in your socks.
If you ever save up money for emergency funds again...
and I catch you,
I'm going to kick you out wearing nothing but underwear with holes.
Do you understand?
- What are you doing? - Let go of this.
Do you know what I went through to save this money?
Is the cost of you sewing up the holes in my socks...
this expensive?
My gosh, that woman.
I knew you'd be like this,
so I left out one envelope of money.
We only have 10 days left before the platform launches.
You have to hand in 10 chapters of saved manuscripts by this week.
Do you think our team will be dismissed?
I heard they're holding a temporary shareholders' meeting.
What if the CEO changes?
They wouldn't get rid of a business that's already gotten this far.
The webtoon business will continue without any hitches.
I understand why you're nervous,
but we should trust each other...
and focus on our work in times like these.
- I trust you, Ms. Seo. - Me too.
- I trust you. - I trust you.
Let's do it.
Mr. Kim is late today.
You're right. He's never late for work because he's afraid of...
getting on upper management's bad side.
Ms. Seo. We're in trouble.
Did something happen?
Mr. Hwang...
Stop overreacting and tell us already.
What happened to Mr. Hwang?
He's going to the branch in the States.
He's going to Los Angeles. LA.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
I'm positive. I heard from HR.
What is he going to do?
What happened?
I thought he'd be able to clear his name with the evidence we found.
That will be possible.
Then there's no need to resign from his position as CEO.
And what about the US branch?
Call me if you need me. I'll be outside.
(Medical Record, Patient: Hwang Ji Woo)
(Patient: Hwang Ji Woo)
(Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals Temporary Shareholders' Meeting Announcement)
(2020 Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals Temporary Shareholders' Meeting)
What is bothering you the most, Mr. Hwang?
The guilt of making the person I love...
unhappy three times.
She lived in misery because of me...
and died.
You know that it was inevitable all three times.
I found it.
This is the contract that Ms. Seo Hyeon Ju signed.
Have you prepared the dual contract?
Yes. I also copied her signature on it.
Your flight is at 9am tomorrow morning.
I'll give you the money I promised at the airport parking lot.
(2020 Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals Temporary Shareholders' Meeting)
(Why did you break up with Song Min Ju?)
(I was imprisoned for over a year for student demonstrations.)
He was imprisoned for over a year for student demonstrations?
(Team Leader, Seo Hyeon Ju)
Did you hear?
Jin Ho was a mole for the police.
Really? Then why didn't they arrest us?
No, I heard he went to study abroad with some girl.
Someone in my class told me they saw him...
get into a car with a pretty girl.
Really? I'm so jealous.
I'm sure you saw the videos I sent you.
You will get investigated by the police soon,
so you should prepare yourself.
How dare you...
fool me and stab me in the back?
Do you think you have any right to say that right now?
Many decades have passed, and you even changed your name,
but nothing has changed.
I thought you would have reflected on yourself or have regrets.
Reflect on myself?
What do I need to reflect on?
There is no past that you can keep hidden forever.
You ratted on Song Min Ju to the police, right?
Your plan was to call her out with a fake memo...
and arrest her,
but Kang Jin Ho appeared and ruined everything.
Your dirty tricks...
haven't changed either.
What else did you do to those two people?
Undercover officers...
had the flyers that Min Ju made.
If I hadn't confessed,
Min Ju would've been arrested.
I didn't have time to hesitate.
Min Ju...
was on her way to the music box store.
(Didn't Min Ju know?)
Are you Ms. Song Min Ju?
(Don't wait for me. I'm sorry.)
I stole your ring and sent it to Min Ju.
I even wrote a letter...
telling her not to wait.
That's why Min Ju went to Woo Young.
If it were me, I would've waited for Jin Ho until the end.
But I guess that's how little she cared for you.
I guess so.
Those things aren't important to me anymore.
You will be punished by law for the things you did recently.
But how will you gain forgiveness for the things you did in the past?
What was so bad about ratting Song Min Ju to the police?
That wasn't wrong.
There is nothing I need to gain forgiveness for.
You killed them.
You killed Kang Jin Ho,
Min Ju, and Woo Young.
What?
Your jealousy was the start of all of the tragedy.
Jin Ho.
Are you okay?
- Jin Ho. - Please!
Just leave.
Kang Jin Ho died because of the after-effects of torture.
What...
did you just say?
Jin Ho.
And the other two people died from a car accident.
If Kang Jin Ho wasn't arrested,
none of that would've happened.
Don't you agree?
I heard they got into an accident...
after hearing about Jin Ho.
No.
You killed them.
You killed yourself...
as well as Min Ju and Woo Young. Everyone.
You're the one who made me like this too.
If you didn't cruelly ignore me...
until the moment that you died,
we wouldn't have met like this again.
Everything...
is your fault.
I guess it is my fault.
If I had known that Kim Su Jeong was such a weak and pathetic person,
I would've hugged her...
and told her I was sorry and not to get hurt.
I'm pathetic?
Don't fool yourself.
I'm going to make you regret those words.
You haven't...
won just yet.
I take back telling you that...
I hope you can come out from your past.
I hope you spend the rest of your life...
stuck in the nightmare of your past.
I didn't kill them.
It's not my fault.
Why must I hear these things?
Why must I?
Do you regret what happened?
No.
If the same situation occurred,
I would protect her.
(No. If the same situation occurred, I would protect her.)
Didn't you ask to meet me because you had something to say?
I did.
It must be something hard to say.
I gave Ms. Seo the medical records...
from Mr. Hwang's psychological treatments.
I thought that if what was written on those pages...
were really important to those two people,
Ms. Seo should know the contents.
I don't know why they broke up,
but she might go back to him...
after seeing what it says.
(2020 Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals Temporary Shareholders' Meeting)
(Seo Hyeon Ju)
- Hello. - Mr. Hwang.
What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?
No.
Thanks to your help, everything has been resolved.
I heard that you're leaving for the branch in the States.
Is that true?
Yes.
Can you make some time for me?
I think it would be best if we didn't meet.
I have something to say. I'll wait for you.
I tried to get over...
my feelings for you,
but I couldn't do it.
There's nothing I can do if you hate me,
and there's nothing I can do if you criticize me, but...
I don't plan on criticizing you.
I would've done the same thing if I were you, Ms. Han.
If the outcome...
is for the two of them to get back together,
they would get back together even if it weren't for the medical records.
So...
don't feel too bad about it.
I'll get going.
(Woori Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic)
Your numbers went up by a lot compared to your previous test.
And the size of your ovary came back to normal.
And we were able to see a lot of ovarian follicles.
Okay.
My menstruation started again.
So does it mean I don't have to worry about menopause?
It's not that serious yet.
Let's check your hormone level in five months.
Okay.
Are you getting married or pregnant anytime soon?
No, not yet.
I know that you can't force things.
But your ovary is considered old,
so if you want to have children,
it'd be best if you hurry.
Okay.
Min Jung.
How did it go? Did you get good results?
Yes. She said my number went up a lot.
What a relief! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Oh, right. What about Hyeon Ju?
Her problem is solved too.
I'm so glad.
First, let's go and get dinner.
Okay.
What should we get?
What should we do about the rest of the money?
Well, we'll show them that we can pay it back.
Mom.
- Hyeon Ju. - What brings you here?
We have something for you.
Did you wait long? You should have called.
No. We just got here.
Here. Take them.
What are these?
The bankbooks for our savings and your father's emergency fund.
If the company wants to sue you for embezzlement,
give them these first.
And as for the rest of money...
36 months?
Well, could we beg and tell them we'll pay them back...
in 360 months?
I won't get sued. The real culprit was caught.
- Really? - Really?
Of course.
By the way, I have an appointment. I'll get going first.
Okay. Hyeon Ju!
- Hyeon Ju. - What?
Can you give back the bankbooks?
Bye.
I'm so relieved.
Right.
Anyway, starting today, we can sleep without any worries.
Right. I wasn't able to sleep all night.
- Yeong Eun. - Yes?
Do you want to go on a blind date?
I'll ask my husband...
if there's a nice guy at work.
We'll see.
Why not? You must get married, so you can have babies quickly.
Your dream when you were young...
was forming an orchestra with your family.
That's right.
But I'm not sure...
if I want to get married or just want kids.
Then, what's your plan?
Your doctor said she's not sure if you're completely back to normal.
Well, you know, I'll try to figure out a plan.
Fine.
By the way, will Mr. Hwang really go to the States?
What will Hyeon Ju do?
I couldn't ask. She looked so sad.
But don't you think he'll stay...
if Hyeon Ju asks him to stay?
Right.
That was it.
The truth you wanted to tell me.
I think I know why you wanted to meet at the cafe...
we last met.
To be honest, meeting a woman who was interested in protests...
made me feel uncomfortable.
That's why I left.
I thought if I stayed with you,
you would ruin my life too.
- Are you all right? - Let go.
I think I always regretted it.
I married you, so I wanted to make you happy for the rest of your life.
But we always broke up in the end.
And even now,
I regret it.
If I happen to remember my past lives in my next life,
I won't find you, then.
I hope you won't focus too much...
on the stories you read.
I don't think that's possible.
I'm also regretting it.
I regret everything. Telling you that past lives weren't important...
and not listening to your side of the story.
I had been only thinking about myself all this time.
I'm sorry.
No. It's all my fault.
I hid the truth and wasn't honest with you.
Then, what about when you said you were tired...
and you wanted to end everything?
You didn't mean it, right?
You lied to me for my sake just like you did in the past life.
Do you want to have dinner together?
Not tonight.
I might be able to see Mr. Hwang.
(Regular Speed, Safety Regulations)
But you don't have to see him now.
- I need to talk to him. - Will he come?
I'm not sure yet.
Do you remember what you told me before?
As soon as you woke up from your coma when you were a girl,
you decided to never get married in this life.
All three of our relationships were ill-fated,
which was bad enough for you to decide that.
I want to stop now.
I want to leave my past lives behind too.
That's what I want.
I'll take the music box.
You gave it to me. Why are you taking it after giving it to me?
Whether I think about you...
or my past lives with the music box, it's my business.
Give it back.
Please, Jane.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Jane. Would you like a cup of coffee?
- What's wrong with you? - Mr. Kim, will you stop?
Do you think memorizing a few sentences...
will make you a better speaker than a three-year-old?
A three-year-old? Hey, this is an advanced class.
"Hey. You can speak English too."
I spent my precious 100 dollars to sign up for the service.
Don't worry, Mi Ok.
Can you please switch seats with me?
- No. - No.
This is the schedule for this week's meeting.
Can you put them in an Excel file?
- Sure. - Okay.
Gosh, what are you doing?
"Marketing and Promotion Proposal for 2020 Sunwoo Webtoon".
I didn't know you were interested in marketing.
I wouldn't say it's marketing in a traditional sense.
I want to use my social media account...
and promote some webtoons.
- Oh, my. Good luck. - I can do it!
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Hello.
Good morning. Ms. Seo.
"Hey. You can speak English too."
I subscribed to their online classes.
Do you want me to share my ID with you?
I'm already on that.
Why are you suddenly taking English classes?
He's making a fuss that he'll follow Mr. Hwang to the States...
when he gets transferred.
That's enough!
I really want Mr. Kim to leave.
But when I asked HR,
the board of directors didn't approve his resignation.
Please tell me that you'll go even if it's just you.
Just me? As if. I heard it from his secretary.
His flight is scheduled to depart tonight. It's tonight.
- What? - That soon?
Let's start our meeting in 30 minutes.
Okay.
- 30 minutes. - Get back to work.
(Team Leader, Seo Hyeon Ju)
Yes, Secretary Nam. I'm ready.
I'll pick you up at 6pm.
Okay.
Didn't you tell me...
you would stay by my side and protect me?
Let's start over. Please?
You didn't mean it, right?
You lied to me for my sake just like you did in the past life.
I want to stop now.
I want to leave my past lives behind too.
That's what I want.
A bowl of udon and a bottle of soju, please.
Okay.
Secretary Nam.
Mr. Hwang. Are you all right?
I have a favor to ask you.
The person you have reached is not available.
Min Jung, it's me.
Are you with Hyeon Ju?
No. She said she'd go home after her meeting...
outside her office.
Why? She's not picking up her phone?
No, her phone is turned off.
No. I'll go to her house.
I thought the three of us agreed to this relationship...
and we would be able to move forward amicably.
But I must have considered this situation too lightly.
Let's break up.
Jin Ah.
I don't want to be chained or shackled by a man.
It was my fault for believing that I could have...
a casual relationship with my ex-husband.
I'm sorry.
Is it so hard to break up with that punk?
This must be why we got a divorce.
Do you even remember?
It was my mom's first birthday after we got married.
It fell on one of your family gatherings.
I told you that I couldn't let my mother spend her birthday alone.
You made a reservation at a Chinese restaurant in a hotel,
so she could spend her birthday with her friends.
What's wrong with that?
I wanted you to come up with excuses,
so I wouldn't have to attend the gathering.
When my mother called to say she missed me,
do you know how much I cried?
You should have told me that.
Then, let me tell you that again.
I don't want a man who begs me to reunite...
with him after getting drunk.
Did you understand that?
Jin Ah.
It's cold!
It's so cold. Who had the water at cold?
Unbelievable. You're drinking without me?
And you turned off your phone too.
Answering the phone was a hassle.
How did you know I was here?
You come here whenever you feel depressed.
That's not true.
I am very...
happy today.
Right.
One more glass, please.
Hey, you had the best sister. I was like an angel to you.
I just forgot my wings up there.
I never asked you to run errands for me...
or did I extort money from you.
Go and find my wings.
You called me to turn off the lights whenever you went to sleep.
You'd act like there's a problem and I would go.
"I'm going to sleep. Turn off the lights."
Goodness.
You should have told me if you didn't want to.
You came when I called you.
So I thought you enjoyed it too.
When I didn't come, you came to my room and beat me up.
When you hit puberty,
I beat you up a lot.
And that must be why you grew up so tall like this.
Should we get going?
What are you talking about? I'm just getting started.
Ma'am, one more bottle of soju, please.
- Okay. - Hyeon Ju, you're drunk. Let's go.
I don't get drunk at all when I'm happy.
Why did you turn off your phone today?
Answering the phone was a hassle.
You didn't turn it off in case you call Mr. Hwang?
Why would I call him?
He's leaving at 10pm tonight, right?
I don't know.
He can leave or whatever.
Hyeon Ju, you've been acting all weird tonight.
What do you mean?
I have never seen you turn off your phone...
because answering your phone was a hassle.
Besides, you only drink soju when you're sad.
You get drunk quickly when you're happy.
You have a good memory for no good reason.
I have a bad memory.
I remember it because it's about you.
Go to Mr. Hwang.
Go and tell him to stay.
If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Why...
do you think I didn't try that?
If you did,
he wouldn't have left.
Okay.
How beautiful.
They are dahlias.
Hold on, Hyeon Ju.
Do you know what this flower symbolizes?
"Your love makes me happy."
I think you'll have a hard time without him.
I want you to be happy.
So I can be happy too.
"Your love makes me happy."
I wanted to have you by my side.
I'm not going to make the same mistakes twice.
When the thread gets cut,
we can piece it together again, can't we?
You can reach out first.
When you were dating Mr. Hwang,
you seemed really happy.
Go to Mr. Hwang. Go and tell him to stay.
If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Why do you think I didn't try that?
If you did, he wouldn't have left.
(Mr. Hwang)
The phone is turned off. You'll be connected to voicemail...
after the beep.
Secretary Nam, did...
Mr. Hwang leave on an earlier flight?
What? I see. Okay.
Thank you.
Sir, could you head to Cheongdam-dong?
Mr. Hwang. Mr. Hwang!
Mr. Hwang!
Hyeon Ju.
Why didn't you leave?
I thought I should give this to you.
To my love, Min Ju.
"And to Hyeon Ju whom I still love".
(To All The Guys Who Loved Me)
I'll use most of my life to love you, Mr. Hwang.
Do you have another nickname?
Prince Dubai? Chestnut.
My dear Ji Woo.
You like Mr. Hwang. You do. Gosh, whatever.
There's no point spending time with an uncomfortable companion.
Let's keep our distance.
I'm worried that Hyeon Ju might get hurt again.
Seo Hyeon Ju. You should...
Mom, you don't have the right to do that.
I prepared something for you, Hyeon Ju.
Everyone has a moment they have been waiting for a long time.
- Hyeon Ju. - My gosh.
I think I might get married.
