(Episode 114)
What's this? Tteokbokki?
I went to the market and got some to have it with you.
Someone kept sending me a telepathic message...
that she was craving it.
Really? You read my mind. How did you know?
A boyfriend like me is rare.
Aren't you glad I'm your boyfriend?
Hey, don't stand so close.
What if someone sees us?
Come on. Let's eat it together.
Hey, I told you not to stand so close.
Why are you coming even closer?
I think your heart is telling me to come closer.
Was the telepathic message wrong?
No, that can't be.
Goodness.
Hey.
This looks very spicy,
and you don't like spicy tteokbokki.
- So... - That's not true.
My taste buds have changed. I can handle the heat now.
Should I show you?
Come to think of it,
I've changed a lot too.
What?
Do you know what I wanted to be when I was young?
"Bring it on!"
You wanted to be like Bruce Lee.
Swinging your nunchucks dressed in your yellow tracksuit.
That's right. I really wanted to be like Bruce Lee.
Like this. Bring it on!
But...
at some point, I started to dream of becoming a fashion designer,
and joining Jayce Fashion as a designer...
became my dream.
But there's something that hasn't changed.
"Something that hasn't changed?"
Even back then, you were right by my side.
And even now, I am still right by your side.
What?
You're right.
Back then, you were Geon,
but you're Gu Dan Soo now. Except for that,
it's still the same.
Your eyes still look the same too.
The little girl who used to shout, "I'll become Bruce Lee!"
And this Maeng Gong Hee who says, "Jayce Fashion is my dream now."
You two have the same eyes.
Yes, totally.
Do you love Jayce Fashion that much?
Yes, I do.
I love Jayce Fashion so much.
More than me?
My gosh.
Yes! I love Jayce Fashion more than you.
This is why I like you.
What?
Because you love your job more than me.
You love it so much...
that it makes your eyes sparkle.
Those who are working hard toward their dreams...
are so attractive.
My gosh, Maeng Gong Hee. How could you be this attractive?
Hey, cut it out.
What was that?
(Han Internal Medicine Clinic)
Come back and see me again if the discomfort continues...
even after you finish taking your medication.
- Okay, thank you. - No problem.
Take care.
(Han Internal Medicine Clinic)
What brings you here?
You didn't even call, and it's early.
See these? The dark circles under my eyes.
I don't like to think,
but I stayed up all night thinking because of you,
and my dark circles are covering my face now.
What were you thinking about?
You.
And...
No Ah.
When you left No Ah behind back then,
you weren't really going to the US to study. Right?
What good would come of talking about that now?
That's why I'm asking.
I have to know the truth now, at least.
I was offered...
an operation for my brain tumor in the US.
They said I had a slight chance of survival...
if I received the operation or whatever.
What was the percentage? There was a chance, right?
Then you should definitely get the surgery!
To me,
that sounded like my chances of seeing No Ah again.
So, I came back without undergoing the surgery.
If I came back,
I could see No Ah, at least.
Are you kidding me?
There's a way to live. Why won't you take it?
I can just keep doing what I'm doing now.
I'm okay right now.
What's okay about this?
If you come back and leave as you please again,
what about No Ah who has no idea and will be left here?
Now,
No Ah has you.
And he has another mom too.
Seriously...
I'll just see No Ah for a little while longer...
and go back to the US.
If I don't come back,
you should...
explain things to him...
sometime in the future.
I don't know how to explain something like that to him.
You do it.
Get the surgery...
and come back to tell No Ah about it yourself.
Seriously, Soo Yeon. What are you planning to do?
What you said kept weighing on my mind.
I can't get past it.
In my old age,
I'm not as sharp as I used to be.
Do you mean what I said about Maeng Gong Hee?
I'm sure it won't be easy for her to work...
while raising a child on her own as a divorced single mother.
This is an important time for Executive Director Gu...
to really claim his position.
It would be best for him to avoid unnecessary gossip.
What can I help you with?
(Chairwoman Hwang Ik Sun)
As you know,
Ms. Maeng Gong Hee is a permanent employee now.
I can't kick out...
an employee for no reason.
Then, there should be an excuse for her...
to leave the company naturally.
Will you be able to do it?
Managing my subordinates is my basic duty as a team manager.
I already have a good grasp of her personality...
for management purposes.
I know what her weaknesses are...
and under which circumstances she will falter first.
This is why I like you, Ms. Kang.
Everything will come true...
just as you wish, ma'am.
Gong Hee.
I have to move something to the supply closet.
Will you come with me?
Sure, just a second.
What are you working on so intently?
Oh, I'm trying to organize some old files.
After the Holly project got put on the shelf,
I gathered all the files in a folder...
but haven't had a chance to look through them.
Now that Mr. Gu is back...
and that the Heirmez collaboration is over,
the Holly project might get started again.
Gosh, I wish it would.
Let's go.
(Search Holly, Design 1, Design 2)
You ruined my plan to get married and my project as well.
You want to be the only one who gets to start over?
(Copying files)
What are you doing?
What were you doing at Gong Hee's desk just now?
Nothing.
I had some files to share.
Why?
I heard the chairwoman asked to see you.
What did she say?
Oh, she just asked how I had been doing.
I'll skip lunch today.
I have something important to take care of.
(Oh Pine, You Verdant Pine)
It's rather early to have alcohol,
so here are some soft drinks.
Give me soju.
Come on, Gyeong Tae.
Hey, you should step outside.
I'll call you when we're done talking.
Will you give us some space?
It's okay since you're not open yet, right?
What?
Oh, sure. Of course, it's fine.
It's your order.
Well, then.
Tell me now.
Tell me what you've done wrong.
Does it have to do with Audrey?
Is that why you two were scheming behind my back?
Hurry up and tell me.
I am...
a sinner.
Your darned nonsense about being a sinner.
Dan Soo's father and Audrey's husband.
Mr. Gu Hae Joon.
I'm the sinner who made him die.
That's me.
Kim Chi Seung!
Hey, what's going on?
My gosh.
Stop!
Hey, punk!
Hey. Give up, Kim Chi Seung.
Kim Chi Seung!
Detective Maeng told me to meet him here.
The day Dan Soo's father died,
I was the one who called him out...
and made him run straight into...
the suspect I was chasing.
Hey, Kim Chi Seung!
Get him! Get that man!
Get him!
Get him! Go!
Mr. Gu!
Mr. Gu.
Detective Maeng.
Please give this to my wife for me.
Please do this for me.
Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu!
No!
Don't die!
I...
made Dan Soo's dad die.
That's why...
Gong Hee and Dan Soo...
can never be together.
Was that...
the secret that you had...
buried inside your heart?
Was that the reason...
you quit being a cop and left Kkotsan...
as if you were running away?
I'm sorry.
How are we even married?
How could you hide that from me for decades?
You should've told me what happened...
and discussed whether or not...
you would quit your job.
I just couldn't...
continue working as a cop.
I made a man die.
How could I?
Fine.
I'm sure you felt awful.
That's the kind of man you are.
Your guilt must've eaten you up.
But shouldn't you have talked to me about it?
Isn't that what married couples do?
You decided to keep a secret from me...
and just quit your job.
You didn't even say a word to me.
I couldn't let...
my entire family get swept up in my sins.
No.
We've already been swept up in it.
We suddenly moved to Seoul with our two kids.
Every time you started a new business, it failed.
You'd tell me you were going fishing to go out and wander around.
Every time that happened,
I also fell down...
dozens of times but got up...
because I had to keep my life together...
no matter what for the kids' sake.
Honey.
You went through so much.
I know all about it.
You know?
You know about it?
Yet you did what you did, knowing that?
Then do you also know how my mom felt...
when she saw how much I was struggling?
She wanted to help her daughter who was struggling financially,
so she took off the ring she'd been wearing her whole life...
and left it here. That was how my mom was.
When she became ill,
she didn't want her poor daughter to worry about her hospital bills,
so she decided to go into hiding.
Can you imagine how she must've felt?
Never forget this.
You made my mom...
take off her ring.
That was the kind of son-in-law you were.
And...
you drove a stake...
through your daughter's heart. That's the kind of father you are.
What does it mean to be husband and wife?
Being one flesh and of one mind?
That's funny.
I wouldn't even expect us to be of one mind.
The secret he's been hiding for years.
Why couldn't he let me in...
on his secret?
Why couldn't he share his pain and sorrow with me?
He kept it bottled up inside and tried so hard to hide it...
all his life.
How's that a husband and wife?
How's that a family?
What was the life I thought we were building together?
Who was the man I was living with?
What did I believe through all those years?
Those years.
All that time...
and our stories.
Everything has slipped through my fingers like grains of sand,
so I have nothing left in my hand now.
(I've gone to Kkotsan.)
I've gone to Kkotsan.
- My gosh. - Aren't we having dinner?
Mother went to Kkotsan.
She left this note.
What?
Oh, did Mom go out?
We stopped by the shop,
but it was closed.
I think Mom packed up and left.
What? She left?
Ms. Kang left?
But...
- Oh, no. - My gosh!
Goodness, Dad.
Did you drink?
Dad.
Mom went to Kkotsan.
She left us a note.
Dad, did you two fight?
You shouldn't have.
You know Mom has been under a lot of stress.
I think Mom is still devastated...
by losing Grandma.
Dad.
Dad, are you all right?
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Gong Hee.
What? Why are you being like this again, Dad?
Mom.
I'm here.
I just wanted to come here.
I just...
I held out for years, but everything's fallen apart.
I'm exhausted and stressed.
Even if...
it's just for one day,
I want to sleep as much as I want.
Without my husband...
or family around.
Just me, all alone.
Without thinking...
or worrying about anything.
Maeng Gong Hee has been dismissed from her position?
- What? - What happened?
- What is this? - This has never happened before.
- What did she do? - Why, all of a sudden?
I've never seen this happen before.
- Why did she... - What is going on?
- Did you see it? - This is crazy.
They fired her.
- For leaking Holly's designs. - This is...
- Can they do this? - What happened?
My goodness.
Seriously, this is crazy.
(Personnel Change Notice)
(Name: Maeng Gong Hee)
(Dismissed)
The chairwoman is waiting for you.
(Jayce Fashion Employee Dismissed for Leaking Holly's Designs)
Sadly,
the truth isn't what matters when an article like this gets published.
People already believe that you leaked the designs.
I never did anything like this.
There must've been some misunderstanding.
I can prove it.
Last time, I called you here and earnestly asked you...
to make a wise decision even if Dan Soo...
kept being clingy with you.
I even said I'd compensate you for knowing your place.
Why?
Did you think you might be able...
to extort more from me as a divorced woman?
Did you do this, ma'am?
To kick me out of the company...
to separate me and Dan Soo?
I know people like you very well.
I've suffered all my life because of the likes of you.
I can't lose Dan Soo too.
So, don't make me repeat myself. Just leave.
Back then,
I said I understood you...
because I also wanted Dan Soo to leave me...
and live a happy life.
And you've changed your mind about it?
I still...
want Dan Soo to be happy.
And...
I want to be happy too.
It sounds like you're telling me you can't leave Dan Soo.
I understand what you're trying to tell me.
But this is about us, and we should figure out what to do.
I won't get greedy and want to marry Dan Soo.
Look at you lying to my face.
Greed knows no bounds.
I will leave the company.
However,
I won't give up so easily...
on the dream I had while working at this company.
What?
And what if you don't give up?
What can a mere thing like you do?
I could at least...
not give up.
My gosh.
It's a sudden command from headquarters.
I said, "Let me figure out what's going on first."
I did try to talk to them,
but I couldn't do anything about it.
Gong Hee.
This is all a misunderstanding, isn't it?
There's no way you would do that.
Honestly, I was surprised.
I didn't know you'd leave in one blow like this.
Well, if you act too out of line,
things are bound to end this way.
Hey, watch what you're saying.
We were still a team.
Do I seem too harsh?
Let's be honest.
She always acted like she was the only big shot.
But you were just stealing designs behind everyone's back.
I wonder if anyone will even hire you after this.
We won't be seeing each other at work anymore,
so shall I give you a word of advice?
When you go to work at another company,
don't act so high and mighty.
Know your own place...
and keep your head down.
That way, you won't get kicked out again like this.
Sorry about that.
(Jayce Fashion, Maeng Gong Hee)
Maeng Gong Hee!
I...
(My Merry Marriage)
What were you doing at Gong Hee's desk recently?
- Fine, I did it. - Kang Ji Na!
Ji Na, what are you doing here at this hour?
And who are all these people?
I'm going to stay here from now on.
What do you think you're doing without even talking to me first?
So, you're going to be mean about things, Grandma.
- Well, then. I can be mean too. - What?
As much as she protected me,
I'll protect her from now on. Look forward to it, Grandma.
Thank you all for coming.
