(Episode 103)
Suk Joon.
Hey.
We're getting engaged.
You should also quit working at the company.
I'll quit as soon as I'm done with the design contest.
I hope you keep your word.
Ms. Oh.
What brings you here?
The chairman wanted to meet Min Ho.
How is the chairman's condition?
He needs to get a liver transplant,
but no one in his family is a match.
So he's waiting for a donor.
I see.
You don't look so well. Is there something wrong?
No.
I was just about to get off work.
You came with Min Ho,
so I'll drive you guys home.
Do you feel better now that Min Ho is here?
Yes.
You look a lot brighter. I guess you're doing well.
I hope you get better soon.
Thank you.
Mr. Kang, you should come home with us.
Min Ji misses you.
He won't be going to your house anymore.
No, that's not true. I just need to go back to the office today.
I'm sorry.
I'll be off now.
Okay. Go home safely.
Okay.
Why would you say that to him?
He keeps asking you to come over.
The kids need to know the truth.
My dad's really worried about you.
I'm fine. Tell him not to worry.
My dad was really glad to hear from Suk Joon.
I see.
So don't worry about us. I just hope you quickly recover.
Thank you.
Where's Min Ho?
He left.
Gosh, I wanted to see him. I guess I came too late.
What?
Bye, Min Ho.
Goodbye.
Thank you for the ride.
Drive home safely.
Ms. Oh.
Is it okay if I wait...
until you get over him?
I'm sorry.
I don't think I'll be able to like anyone else.
If you just let things go with the flow,
you'll eventually end up somewhere.
At least, that's what I plan to do.
You should also wait and see where your heart leads you to.
Who knows?
Once time passes by, it might lead to me.
- Mr. Choi. - I'll be off now.
Pil Jeong, come here.
Here.
I have a question regarding what Min Ho just told me.
Why does the chairman need to get a liver transplant?
No one in his family is a match,
so he's waiting for a donor.
Is Mr. Kang close with that lady we saw earlier?
She told me that Mr. Kang will no longer be coming to our house.
Is that true?
Is she the woman he's planning to...
No.
He won't be visiting us for a while because he's busy with work.
Really?
You should go to bed.
I'll take her.
My goodness, you adorable thing.
Why would you say that to him?
The kids will eventually find out that you guys broke up.
Why aren't you telling them?
Is it because you think you guys might get back together?
Do you still have hope?
I just don't want to worry the kids.
I'll tell them when the time is right.
My goodness.
We're getting engaged.
Did you also buy this cutlassfish at the fish market?
Of course.
She bought fresh cutlassfish from Jeju Island for the family.
I hope it's good.
Soon Jeong, it's delicious.
It's even more delicious because it's fresh.
Do you enjoy going to the fish market every morning...
even though you're always so tired?
Yes, it makes me really happy.
My gosh.
It sounded like you came home late yesterday.
Min Ho came to the hospital to see Chairman Kang.
So I drove him home. That's why I was late.
Was Ms. Oh there as well?
Yes.
What is it?
Are you trying to use this chance to your advantage...
now that Pil Jeong and Suk Joon aren't together?
Is there a problem with that?
What?
I just want to be more honest about how I feel...
regardless of how it might turn out.
That way, I won't regret it.
Have you gone nuts?
Why does it have to be her of all women?
- I'll introduce you to... - No, it's okay.
Please just stay out of it.
Dong Seok.
Min Ho came to the hospital because Dad wanted to see him.
Really?
I guess he's starting to care...
more about his bloodline now that he's sick.
That means he might appoint me...
as the acting chairman.
You're right.
People tend to rely more on their family when they get sick.
Your father won't change his mind so easily.
Should we ask Chairman Park for help through Hye Jin?
It's not a good idea to get him involved.
Didn't you see how he dealt with Suk Joon?
He'll use his money to pressure us if things don't go his way.
We can't let him have anything on us.
Yes, you're right.
No matter what happens,
I'll make sure you become...
the acting chairman, Suk Hwan.
I need to go meet a client now.
Good luck.
Hello, everyone.
Where are you off to? You should eat some snacks.
I was actually running low on sugar.
Thank you.
Please do your best to assist Director Kang.
I'm here to show him my support.
Are you guys getting married soon?
We're going to get engaged first.
Congratulations.
I should be on my way to take care of something.
Eat up.
It's good.
The final sample that reflected the consumers' opinions...
will be ready soon.
Okay.
Congratulations on your engagement.
This is what you wanted.
Aren't you coming?
You can go first.
I guess it's a lot terrifying when a guy decides...
to get over a woman.
You'll be quitting soon.
And once Suk Hwan becomes closer with Min Ho,
Min Ho will eventually come live with his father.
That means it's really over between you and Suk Joon.
What?
You can't let your position stay vacant.
What's your point?
Just in case something happens to you,
you should appoint an acting chairman...
for the general stockholders' meeting.
Are you asking me to appoint Suk Hwan?
That will seem more natural.
Just trust him with the position. I'm sure he'll do a good job.
And then what? Are you going to have him...
appointed as the next chairman at the stockholders' meeting?
Do you think I don't know your plan?
I'll be fine.
What if you can't find a donor?
You never know what might happen.
Don't you care about the company?
I came to discuss things with you for the sake of the company.
But you only care about breaking Suk Hwan's wings.
So I guess there's nothing more to say.
Mom.
What did Dad say?
He refused just as we expected.
Then is he going to put Suk Joon in charge of the company?
He's unbelievable.
We can't lose the company to Suk Joon.
We need to find another way.
I'm getting married in three months.
Is there anything fit for a soon-to-be-bride?
Yes, of course.
We'll make sure you have a perfect body before the wedding.
Really?
Yes, that's right. It doesn't just end with the wedding either.
We'll be taking care of your body even after the wedding.
Really?
It's nice to know that you'll be focusing on maintaining my health.
Would you like to take a look at the massage rooms?
Sure.
If you go inside, there will be someone waiting for you.
Come this way.
Mother.
What brings you here?
Why do you think I'm here?
I came to get a massage.
You work here, so you should pay for the massage.
You want me to pay?
Do you expect me to pay even though you work here?
- I'm going to finish everything. - Look here.
Stop it.
Why are you looking at me like that? It's embarrassing.
You look like a different person now that you're dressed like that.
- Does it look weird? - You look pretty.
You're the prettiest you've ever been.
(Director Kang Suk Joon)
I bet you didn't eat lunch because you were busy going to banks.
We'll have to hold mortgage...
on our land in Hwaseong to take out a loan.
Then we'll be able to hang in there until we release our new product.
Isn't Chairman Park going to invest?
That's just temporary.
We need to have our own capital in the long run.
Why do people keep saying you and Ms. Park are getting engaged?
Did you really break up with Ms. Oh?
Yes, we broke up.
Is that why you've been acting so cold to her lately?
Then why did you ask her to stay at the company?
Her design made it to the final round,
so she should see it through.
Is that really the only reason?
I need to get back to work. You should go now.
The noodles will get soggy.
You should eat it before you work.
(Soon Ramyeon)
I'll eat it.
Gosh, come on. Just let me feed you.
I want some, too.
Okay.
Here.
- Is it yummy? - Yes, give me some more.
I thought you were going to go home after you met our client.
I left something at the office.
I think the director is going to work late again.
See you tomorrow.
I had some work left undone.
You should take it home.
- Hey. - When will you be home?
I have a lot of work to do, so I'll be late.
Don't you think you're working too much?
Are you alone?
Yes. I need to get back to work.
I bet you feel upset now that Suk Joon is ignoring you.
Yes.
But I think I understand.
I'm sure it's hard for him to be around me.
I feel the same way.
It's sad things have to be this way even though you like each other.
I'm going to quit as soon as the design contest is over.
Do you think I'll get better once he's out of my sight?
Pil Jeong, what do you think about Mr. Choi?
He cares for you a lot.
And he might help you get over Suk Joon a lot quicker.
He's a good guy, but that's it.
I think Yu Kyung also knows that her dad likes you.
And I don't think she's against it.
I don't want to hurt Yu Kyung and her father.
I didn't know it would be this difficult to like someone.
I'm not going to like anyone anymore.
I should go now.
My gosh.
If you're going to be like that, just get back with Suk Joon...
instead of regretting it later on.
My goodness.
Why did you break up with him...
if you were going to struggle so much?
I told you that it's over.
And stop acting like you care about me.
What?
Soon Jeong told me...
that you knew Mom died...
and that you checked up on us up until seven years ago.
But that means nothing.
You watched us from afar but did nothing for us.
You must want to tell us that you feel responsible as our dad.
But it only sounds like you're trying to justify yourself.
My goodness, my in-law is here. What brings you here?
"In-law"?
What brings you here at this hour?
Are you dating my brother?
What?
Now that it's over with Suk Joon,
are you trying to settle down with my brother?
Get your facts straight.
Your brother is the one who has feelings for my daughter.
That's what makes me so angry.
Why is it that everyone falls for those two sisters?
There's nothing impressive about them.
What's wrong with my two daughters?
Must I tell you in words?
Her sister is holding onto my son,
and she's trying to do the same with my brother.
What do they have against our family?
What did you just say?
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
There's nothing going on between me and Yu Kyung's father.
- Do you mean that? - Yes.
And nothing will ever happen in the future.
I hope you keep your word. Don't you dare backstab me.
My gosh, she's unbelievable.
How could she look down on us like that?
Is my condition getting worse?
What will happen to me...
if a donor doesn't show up?
We're doing our best to slow things down with medication.
That means I could die while waiting for a donor.
I should've listened to you...
and gotten a checkup beforehand. I'm starting to regret it.
The right donor might show up when you least expect it.
So don't give up, sir.
What brings you here at this hour?
Your sister came to our house a while ago...
and threw a fit in front of Pil Jeong.
She thinks Pil Jeong is trying to cling onto you.
I'm sorry.
My sister tends to do this every once in a while...
because she cares for me too much.
Was Ms. Oh taken aback?
I don't think Pil Jeong is interested in you.
She still likes Suk Joon, doesn't she?
From what I know, they're no longer together.
They need to be over each other in order for things to end properly.
Anyway, make sure your sister doesn't act out again.
By the way,
how's the chairman doing?
He's waiting for a transplant.
We haven't found a donor yet.
Will he die if a donor doesn't appear?
People who wait for organ transplants...
fight with death every minute of the day.
What a complicated answer.
Pil Jeong.
What are you doing?
It's to commemorate our first date.
I want to keep a photo and look at it for a long time.
Is Suk Joon the only person who works at the company?
He comes home late every day.
I don't know. He seems to be the only person who's busy.
Are things going well with Suk Joon?
Yes.
My dad wants us to get engaged...
before Mr. Kang's condition gets worse.
What do you think?
What does Suk Joon want?
He doesn't want to get engaged when his father is sick.
Why don't you wait until he gets his surgery?
We don't even know when a donor might show up.
We can't just keep waiting.
Wouldn't it be better for them to get engaged...
before his condition gets worse?
Do you think so?
I guess you're right. Dad won't have to stay for long.
Right, Mom?
Yes, you guys can decide on your own.
Okay.
Suk Joon.
I thought you were at work.
Where did you get so drunk?
Do you think he came home late on purpose?
That could be a possibility.
What if he ends up wanting to get back together with Pil Jeong?
Take off your clothes.
Pil Jeong.
You can keep doing this,
but I won't let her have you.
Never.
Soon Jeong told me...
that you knew Mom died...
and that you checked up on us up until seven years ago.
But that means nothing.
You watched us from afar but did nothing for us.
You must want tell us that you feel responsible as our dad.
But it only sounds like you're trying to justify yourself.
He's waiting for a transplant.
We haven't found a donor yet.
Kids, let's go.
Where are you off to so early in the morning?
You told me not to care about you.
So you should do the same.
When is Mr. Kang coming?
Doesn't he miss me?
I don't miss Mr. Kang anymore.
Why? I still miss him.
Just go to kindergarten.
You want to appoint Director Kang as the acting chairman?
Yes.
Who knows what might happen to me?
I should have him appointed just in case anything happens to me.
The company isn't doing well,
so we need a competent leader.
You're the only person I can trust.
Have the papers ready and bring them to me.
But don't tell this to my wife and Suk Hwan.
Okay, sir.
I'll come back to see you as soon as the papers are ready.
Okay.
My goodness.
You may be the chairman of a big company,
but you're just an old man when you're sick at the hospital.
What are you doing here?
What's the use of being so rich?
You're just waiting to die without being able to do anything.
This has nothing to do with you.
So just leave.
I'll donate...
my liver.
Don't you want to live?
Why don't you pay for my liver?
What?
(Mom Has an Affair)
We'll just keep it to ourselves.
It won't be illegal.
I'll leave as soon as I get paid.
It's our engagement ceremony.
How could you be so indifferent about it?
I'm doing my best to yield to you.
Suk Hwan will become the chairman no matter what.
How can Suk Joon become the chairman when he's not even his real son?
What is Dad thinking?
He should've accepted his liver right away.
No, we just need to use him to our advantage.
You keep saying I did nothing for you.
But who knows? I might get to do something for you before I die.
