Hey.
(Episode 115)
Sit.
Seeing how you called me here so early in the morning,
I guess you missed me.
I need to...
talk to you about something important.
I suppose it's not something nice.
Chairwoman Hwang...
asked me about Gong Hee.
I think she saw you walking with Gong Hee,
holding her baby in your arms.
I see.
What are you planning to do?
Don't worry. I'll figure it out.
Things you can't handle might happen, Dan Soo.
Chairwoman Hwang...
will punish you and Gong Hee too.
She won't let you get away with this.
Well, it's something we have to overcome.
No matter how harshly Grandma scolds me,
I won't give up.
I'll never lose.
Mom, I don't know how to lose.
- Dan Soo. - So, I ask you...
to please take my side too. Okay?
Oh, my goodness.
How could this happen?
Chairwoman Hwang will punish you and Gong Hee too.
She won't let you get away with this.
- What on earth did she do? - My goodness.
- I thought she always worked hard. - This is crazy.
- My gosh, this is... - Seriously, why did they do this?
- I don't get it. - What will Gong Hee do now?
Hello, everyone.
Why is everyone gathered around here?
Let's go.
(Personnel Change Notice)
(Name: Maeng Gong Hee)
(Dismissed)
Now that Gong Hee is gone,
the office feels so empty.
Ms. Eom is still on her leave.
Incompetent people don't deserve a desk in this office.
(Let's go! I can do this!)
She didn't even clear her desk properly.
What are you doing?
Useless things belong in the trash.
It's true for things...
and people too.
Don't touch anything.
She was wrongfully terminated.
I will right the wrong.
My gosh.
Chairwoman Hwang fired Gong Hee herself.
How will you fix it now, Mr. Gu?
You can wait and see.
So, those hands...
and that mouth of yours.
You'd better be mindful of them,
Ms. Kang Ji Na.
Where is Gong Hee now?
Pardon? Oh, she just left with her stuff.
Maeng Gong Hee!
I...
Where are you going?
As you can see, I'm heading home now.
Are you really going to give up like this?
You tried so hard to hold out in this company.
You worked really hard to get your position.
Just staying here...
will not solve anything.
Right. However,
if you give up, it is really over.
You don't deserve to get kicked out like this.
I don't know...
if I am such a capable person.
You are.
Maeng Gong Hee is very capable.
Maeng Gong Hee never falters or lets herself fall apart.
Maeng Gong Hee, you are Maeng Ggong the Toad...
who cries loudly...
in the mountains and fields and never loses to anything,
whether it's a storm or a wild animal.
Listen carefully now.
You are not leaving Jayce Fashion now.
You're just taking a short break.
You've worked so hard until now.
Consider this a reward, not a punishment.
Okay.
I've been rewarded.
As for your things,
I'll hold onto them,
so come back and get them.
You said Jayce Fashion was your dream.
I will not let you give up on your dream like this.
Just hand it over.
I will hold onto this box.
Then...
please hold onto my stuff.
Maeng Gong Hee!
You...
have to...
come back and get this.
Gu Dan Soo.
It doesn't matter what you do.
Maeng Gong Hee is finished.
How dare you act high and mighty in front of me?
Gong Hee leaked Holly's designs?
It makes no sense.
Why do you think it makes no sense?
I've known her for a long time.
I know she'd never do such a thing.
And you know it too.
So?
What were you doing...
at Gong Hee's desk recently?
In other words, you're suspicious of me.
Why beat around the bush?
Fine.
I did it.
Hey, are you serious?
How could you do such a thing?
Chairwoman Hwang told me to do it...
so we could kick Gong Hee out.
Besides,
isn't this a good thing for us?
What?
We have to get married soon,
and it'll be uncomfortable to work with her in the same office.
Kang Ji Na!
Why are you yelling?
Am I wrong?
How much more understanding do I have to be with you?
How has Gong Hee wronged you...
that you had to do something like this?
She's the reason you're hesitating to marry me.
So, what was I supposed to do?
What should I do to help you snap out of it?
I really am...
sick of you.
What?
The Kang Ji Na I used to know...
was a cool person.
She never stomped on others...
just because she was so anxious to achieve something.
So, you are sick of me?
How could you say you are sick of me?
Maeng Gong Hee is a nobody.
You're sick of me because of Maeng Gong Hee?
About our plan to get married,
let's think about it again.
What?
Are you done talking?
You are the one who has changed, Seo Min Gi.
I'll make everything go back to the way it used to be.
I'll do whatever it takes.
Grandma!
Quiet down.
Seeing how you got all worked up and rushed here because of her,
I feel even surer about my decision to let her go.
She leaked Holly's designs.
Even if you two weren't dating,
I would've still fired her on the spot!
Do you think I'd believe it?
It won't disappear just because you don't believe it.
Besides, everyone will believe it.
People are not interested in the truth.
You are wrong.
What I know is the truth.
She would never do such a thing.
She's someone who cherishes me...
and my designs more than anyone else.
Wake up, Dan Soo.
That girl just sees you as a meal ticket.
She's just clinging to you...
because she knows you're out of her league.
Listen to your grandma!
I already lost my son. Must I lose my grandson too?
This won't do.
(Chairwoman Hwang Ik Sun)
I wanted to take things slow for her sake.
But if this is how you're going to be,
it changes things for me too.
What are you talking about?
I'm warning you.
What?
Everyone must know that I've been immature until now.
But...
I was pretending to lose just to please you.
I lost my dad,
and it means you lost your son.
But I won't let you win anymore.
Do you think you will be able to survive...
after you turn your back on me?
If I can be with Gong Hee,
I can let go of anything.
My life is my own.
I won't let anyone else make my choices for me.
Why does it have to be a mere girl like that?
I'm just going to the place where I belong.
As much as she protected me,
I'll protect her from now on.
Your dad, Hae Joon, also ruined his life...
as he wandered around like that.
Do you think I'll let the same thing happen to you?
I'm not like Dad.
I won't run away or avoid you.
So, you're going to be mean about things, Grandma.
Well, then. I can be mean too.
Gu Dan Soo!
Look forward to it, Grandma.
This will be fun.
Coming soon.
They'll think it's weird that I'm home this early.
What should I do?
It's okay. Gu Reum, do you miss your mom?
Oh, my. Gong Hee!
How come you're home at this hour?
- Hong Dan, I'll take Gu Reum first. - Oh, okay. Here.
It's okay, sweetheart.
Gu Reum, Mommy is here.
But really, what's going on?
You didn't even call ahead.
Did you come home because you missed Gu Reum?
But Director Lee is not the type...
to let you go home early so easily.
I was nearby for a meeting.
By the way, any news from Mom?
Is she not home yet?
She must be planning on staying in Kkotsan.
We haven't heard from her at all.
Mom!
What is it, No Ah?
Hey, since you're home now,
you'll take Gu Reum upstairs, right?
Shouldn't we get an extra arm or something...
when we become moms?
How can we watch kids with just a pair of eyes and arms?
Gosh, woe is me.
Fellow mom, we can do it!
No Ah, I'm coming!
Gu Reum.
Mommy...
quit work today.
I worked really hard, you know.
When I first joined the company,
I did all kinds of odd jobs they made me do...
ever since I was an intern.
I even mopped the floors every day.
And I made time to enter all of the contests.
You're really proud of me, aren't you?
You should praise me, Gu Reum.
But I was kicked out from the company...
where I worked so passionately throughout my youthful years.
I never did anything to be ashamed of.
It's so unfair.
I'm sorry.
I should've been stronger.
But...
I won't stop here.
I'll get back up.
No matter how many times I fall or how hard it gets,
I'll make it to the end.
Just wait a little while.
Mommy will succeed again.
My gosh.
Myung Ja is gone, and so are the customers.
Business is no fun today.
Gosh, seriously.
You always wandered off...
after leaving a single note.
That's why Myung Ja is doing the same thing.
Goodness.
So, do you know what this is about?
I mean, all Myung Ja ever did before was to yell at you.
She has never disappeared like this before.
Good or bad,
you're the husband she's spent a lifetime with.
What trouble did you and Audrey get into?
Oh, my.
That's right. Go and beg for forgiveness.
You might really get kicked out at this rate!
Good grief!
I'm so tired of this myself.
It must be even worse for Kang Myung Ja.
Gosh, I get where Myung Ja is coming from.
Min Gi, how are things going between you and Ji Na?
I told you. It'll be hard for us to get married right away.
Why is that hard?
You're just dawdling. That's all.
I also don't feel so enthusiastic about welcoming Ji Na...
when I think about that mom of hers.
But still, you should get married.
Ji Na is such a catch.
My goodness.
Are you still going on about that?
Just forget about it if it isn't likely to happen.
Why are you ragging on Min Gi about it?
I'll go and see who it is.
You spoiled him, you know.
Going on about being responsible and all that.
Being sentimental isn't doing him any good.
They got a divorce, and that's that.
He couldn't even take custody of the child.
He practically let her steal him away.
It's only right for our dear Gong Hee to raise him.
What a great upbringing the baby would have in this house.
"Dear Gong Hee?" Don't you dare call her that.
Change the way you refer to her.
What if Ji Na hears you and gets the wrong idea?
My goodness.
What do you think you're doing?
Please leave the vanity and my belongings...
- in the living room upstairs. - Yes, ma'am.
You can leave the rest...
- where I can see them. - Sure.
Kang Ji Na, I asked you a question.
Oh, my. What is all this stuff?
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?
Min Gi was being so wishy-washy.
So, I should make things clear, at least.
And by living here,
I'll be sending a clear message to my parents too.
What do you think you're doing without even talking to me first?
Weren't you the one who postponed the wedding without talking to me?
I mean,
even if that's the case, this is our family home.
How could you barge in here without discussing it with Min Gi?
You really want to live with us right now?
This isn't even all of my stuff.
I just brought the things I'd immediately need for today.
The rest of my things will be here tomorrow.
Mother, you should let the movers in and put my stuff away.
We have to go to work.
My gosh.
Honey, say something.
You brought this on yourself,
so you take care of this.
Gosh, seriously.
- Goodness! - What?
Come with me.
What in the world...
Ma'am, should we leave this here?
How should I know?
What is going on?
How can you just move in...
without even talking to me about it?
You've crossed the line.
Why should I bother talking to you?
Will you just drag things on again?
Honestly, I'm flabbergasted.
If I gave up my apartment and moved in here,
shouldn't you at least thank me...
if not feel moved by it?
You literally barged in here without a single word to me,
and what? I should be thanking you?
Then just give me a straight answer now.
Do you still...
want to marry me?
This, again?
What am I supposed to do while you're hesitating like this?
Getting hurt and waiting, all by myself.
Do I have to make this decision by myself?
Kang Ji Na.
This is the decision I've made.
Make your own choice if you want to change my decision.
Whether you decide to marry me...
or stop here,
you'll have to decide what you want to do, Seo Min Gi.
Mom is no longer around,
and the familiar sounds...
are fading away in my memory.
Where did all the chatter go?
And that warmth.
Where has it vanished?
The house always felt cramped because it was small.
But now, it feels so big...
and quiet.
(Kang Myung Ja's Book of Poetry)
Title, "My House."
I was born and raised in this house.
The sound of Mom cooking in the kitchen.
The sound of Dad's fingers flipping through the newspaper.
My siblings' laughter.
As the aroma of cooked rice filled the house,
you could see our front yard...
tinged with sunset hues through the windows.
Then you'd hear the voices on the radio...
as you wrapped up your day.
(Education, Work Experience)
You're getting home just now?
You didn't take out the trash in the morning.
I guess you forgot it was your turn today.
Should I recite our cohabitation rules?
It's been a while.
Hey.
Are you all right?
Hey, I am Gu Reum's mom.
Did you think...
I'd be knocked down forever after just one punch?
I should pull myself together as soon as possible.
And I need to find a new job.
I've already applied to a few positions.
You're not getting a new job.
I told you.
I'll make sure you can come back to Jayce Fashion.
When a door closes, I don't like to dwell on it.
Don't think about doing anything funny at work.
Don't cause trouble, please.
It's too late.
What?
I warned Grandma.
Chairwoman Hwang?
She kicked you out unfairly.
She should be punished for it.
She's my grandma, but she's no exception.
Dan Soo, you...
I...
wanted to listen to you and be careful.
For real.
But...
You know, right?
Being careful isn't the same thing as being prudent.
I've never been this prudent in my life.
Trust me on that.
Gu Dan Soo.
Something very interesting will happen now.
What are you cooking up this time?
You can look forward to it.
The most spectacular show of your life...
will happen tomorrow.
(Holly's Press Conference)
Holly is here!
- Oh, he's here. - We'll get started now.
Hey, hurry!
Thank you all for coming.
Here.
Holly, I want to know why you kept declining...
our interview requests.
As you can see,
I am not just the designer, Holly.
There was something I had to take care of...
as Jayce Fashion's executive director.
Let's just leave it at that.
Tell us what you've been up to since the fashion show.
I am planning the most important event in my life.
Even as I speak now,
I'm so nervous.
I will...
marry this lady here.
- What? - He's getting married?
- What? - For real?
(My Merry Marriage)
Mother, why were you upstairs?
Why would you go into the room without permission?
- What? - Just leave Ji Na alone.
What did I even do to her?
You'll have to fight your family because of me.
- Right. - And you still like me?
- It's you. - I'm nothing special.
You really like me that much?
Because it's you, Maeng Gong Hee.
Let's get married,
Maeng Ggong.
