(Seorin Group)
(Episode 42)
Let go of my hand.
I should go now.
- I'll drive you home. - I'd rather go alone.
You can't just leave like this.
I won't feel at ease if you just leave like this.
I don't have the energy to be concerned about your feelings.
Ji Eun.
Please let go.
It was a mistake...
to fall for you.
If you can't protect her,
just stop here before you hurt her even more.
Who are you to get involved?
I may mean nothing to her now,
but she's someone I once loved, so I want her to be happy.
It's so touching to know...
that you wish my woman happiness.
Mr. Seo.
I know you don't want to hear this, but listen anyway.
I know what it feels like to get disapproved of.
I was in Ji Eun's shoes once.
So I know very well how humiliating, insulting, and sad...
she's going to feel from now on.
Why can't you be honest?
You're acting like you're worried, but you're actually jealous.
This isn't merely out of jealousy.
You know better than anyone that your father will never...
approve of her.
So please stop giving her a hard time.
This is a warning.
Stop getting involved in our business.
If you get cheeky one more time,
I swear I won't forgive you.
Then you should've stayed away!
How dare a lowlife like you covet my son?
Don't try to be sly with me.
I can see right through your cunning mind.
You're just trying to use Ji Eun...
to get yourself some money.
How much do I need to pay to get you to break up with Ji Eun?
Why would you meet my daughter?
If you ever show up here again,
I'll put an end to your life myself.
Please pick up. Pick up your phone, Ji Eun.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
(Ji Eun...)
People go to furniture studios to buy furniture...
because they want something unique.
So I should put more effort on the designs.
You're really good at what you do.
So I'm sure our furniture studio will quickly do well.
Let's eat this.
Can we also have a bottle of soju?
(CEO Jang Se Hoon)
You really came.
Would you like a drink?
I need to drive.
Then I'll drink by myself.
Stop drinking. It looks like you're drunk.
Yes, I'm a little drunk.
I won't let myself get too drunk,
so let me drink.
The more I live my life, the more I realize...
that all those famous sayings were actually right.
"What goes around comes around."
I'm going through everything that you had to go through.
You had to hear so many hurtful comments.
You got grabbed by your collar.
You even got slapped in the face.
Oh, right.
You also got framed for embezzlement.
Now that I think about it,
this is nothing compared to what you had to go through.
What is it that you want to say?
What do you think?
I don't want to see you like this.
Why not?
Doesn't it make you feel nice?
If I were you, I'd be really happy right now.
Don't look at me like that.
I'd rather have you mock me instead.
Get up. I'll drive you home.
Do you know why I called you here?
Because I feel like...
I owe you an apology.
I called you here to tell you I'm sorry.
I'll go now.
I shouldn't have called you.
I'm actually glad you called.
I got to hear you apologize.
I owe you an apology as well.
I offered to help you by hiring you as my helper.
I'm sorry I was so mean to you.
And I'm sorry I bought your house just so I could hurt you.
I'm sorry I didn't know you were struggling financially.
And I'm sorry I suddenly came back into your life.
Let's stop talking about this.
There's nothing we can change anyway.
I think I'll feel a lot more comfortable with...
seeing you at work.
Let's just think of today as a dream.
Goodbye.
(Yoon Mi Ran)
Does it have to be Se Hoon?
I'm asking because I'm worried.
He's the reason why you're in a wheelchair.
He's got some nerve to act all arrogant with you.
Are you saying that to console me?
I'm saying this because I'm your friend.
Even if you manage to keep him by your side,
it's obvious that he'll always have the upper hand.
Yes, I know that!
But what else can I do?
He's all I can think of.
There are people...
that are hard to forget no matter how much time passes.
This is what I thought after Jung In died.
My life would've been different...
if I had let him go.
And he also might not have died so early.
You're the one who needs to get to your senses.
Chairman Seo, that cunning man,
put you in the TF team because he needs you...
to come in between Jung Min and Ji Eun.
But once your job is done, he'll discard you.
Yes, of course. I know that.
But I won't let him use me for his own good.
When you start a fight, you should make sure you finish it.
Na Kyung.
I can put up with pretty much anything.
But being abandoned isn't one of them.
I wasn't at fault for being abandoned by my parents.
But I will never let myself get abandoned...
by the man I chose for myself.
How is Ji Eun doing at work?
She's a sly brat.
She's good to everyone, so she has a good reputation.
Why is it that all the guys end up falling for her?
She slyly hits on them by acting all kind and innocent.
Don't look at me like that.
I don't blame you for anything.
Did you drink?
Yes, I did.
It would've been better if we drank together.
You should go.
I've already given up on us.
Would it feel better if my dad apologizes to you?
I'll tell him to apologize.
There's no need.
It's going to be meaningless.
I'll have him apologize.
I'll make him apologize no matter what.
Some things just can't be done.
Why can't you trust me?
Why can't you do that?
It's not that I don't trust you.
The chairman will never approve of us.
Jung Min, this isn't something I can handle on my own,
and it's definitely not something we can overcome together.
If I get summoned by the chairman again,
I'll get angry at you.
Then you'll end up feeling sorry again.
And after some time,
we'll get tired of each other.
So the right thing to do is to stay away from each other.
Are you really the woman who loved me yesterday?
Shouldn't you trust me like I trust you?
You should be on my side just like how I'm on yours.
Even if things get tough, let's try to put up with it...
Why?
Why must I do that?
I don't want to put up with it.
No. I've had enough. I'm done enduring this.
How badly do you wish to hurt my pride?
I'm done with love.
So let's just forget about everything.
Ji Eun,
are you being like this because of Jang Se Hoon?
Why can't you answer me?
You just made a mistake by saying that.
Yes, I know.
But I always wanted to ask, and it was a necessary question.
Did you even think about how I must've felt...
when you rejected me and left in front of Jang Se Hoon?
Do you know how foolish it made me seem?
I got so angry that it made me lose my mind.
I already told you that I have no feelings left for him.
But seeing that you're still bothered by him...
clearly shows that you have no faith in me.
You're right. I don't.
Because you're so hard to predict.
You take one step forward...
only to take two steps backward.
Even if I want to get closer,
things keep making me back away.
No matter how much I think about it,
we're just not meant to be.
So...
I've decided...
to forget about you.
Who says you can do that?
Do you think I'm going to let you run away?
You may be able to give up on me, but I can't give up on you.
I love you too much...
to do that.
Love?
Love means nothing.
So don't risk everything you have on that.
It's all meaningless.
Director Seo.
You know I'm a straightforward guy, right?
You see, women...
are able to forgive even the biggest mistakes,
but they can never get over being humiliated.
Your father may have hurt her by saying something harsh,
but if you think you guys are meant to be,
don't rush anything.
Waiting is the most perfect thing you can do.
There are so many people who are trying to get in our way.
And I'm scared Ji Eun might push me away...
and run away from me.
I know it's natural that you want to protect your love.
But try being smart about it.
Don't rush.
There's an order to this, and rushing won't change anything.
You're right.
The first thing I need to do is to convince my dad.
Loving someone...
is the same thing as developing a big weakness.
And when you have a weakness, you can't just get angry like that.
Don't try to fight your father.
You need to try and convince him...
as you control your temper.
We're born with our personalities,
so it may be difficult to change.
But if you keep trying, you can still change your character.
You should try to get rid of that nasty temper of yours...
as you do your best to protect your love for Ji Eun.
I guess...
I'm finally growing up.
I'd like you to apologize to Ji Eun.
You fool.
How could you fall for a woman like her?
When it comes to women,
I don't think you deserve to give me a lecture.
Just talk to him. He's too old for this.
Stay out of it. This is regarding my child.
This is the first time...
I got on my knees in front of you.
I want to show you how determined I am.
Please apologize.
You hurt her first.
This isn't the time for you to be chasing after a woman.
Plus, her family is bankrupt, and she was even married once.
Jang Se Hoon is thriving...
while you're head over heels for some girl.
You good-for-nothing punk.
Jung Min, get up. That's enough for today.
Things like this take time.
Plus, this isn't the first time your father called Ji Eun...
Today wasn't the first time?
Don't start another fight with your father.
What if he ends up firing Ji Eun?
(Seorin)
Get in. I'll get out.
It's natural for the CEO and the chairman's son...
to have an awkward relationship.
They're similar in age,
but Mr. Jang is a self-made man...
while Director Seo was able to ride the elevator to success.
If you think about it, Director Seo is...
My goodness, Ji Eun. You're close with Director Seo.
I almost made a mistake.
Hey, Ji Eun. I really like that we run into each other often...
now that we work in the same building.
What would you like to drink? I'll buy.
No, I'll buy.
Your coffee is ready. It's four dollars.
Okay.
Let me pay.
I'll pay for everyone's coffee.
Mr. Jang is very confident these days...
because Seorin's stocks keep going up.
Thank you, sir.
I'll see you later.
You changed the definition of market competition...
as the CEO of our company.
CEOs aren't always the solution to everything.
Director Seo.
I don't think that's something to talk about here.
I see. Then...
why don't we talk in private?
Did you have to have an attitude in front of the employees?
I told you not to let your personal feelings get in the way of work.
What about how you treat our brand manager?
Were there really no personal feelings involved?
What do you take me for?
How long are you going to think of me as Ji Eun's ex-husband?
I'm the CEO of Seorin, and I'm your boss.
You can get replaced overnight.
Don't make it sound like it's a big deal.
Seo Jung Min.
- Watch what you say. - Listen, Mr. Jang.
Stop lurking around like a coward.
If you want Ji Eun back,
end it with Mi Ran first.
You already have a fiancee,
but you keep clinging to Ji Eun.
And that's really hard for me to understand.
I told you not to get involved in my personal life.
I'm not interested in your private life.
I just can't stand seeing you...
clinging to both women.
You pity Mi Ran...
while your heart flutters for Ji Eun.
But just choose one.
Don't be an embarrassment to all the men out there.
(Director Seo Jung Min)
Director Seo, please move.
Ms. Lee.
Are you going to the fabric factory?
I was just about to leave.
Then don't forget to bring the manufacturing cost statement.
Okay.
(Yoon Mi Ran)
Hello?
I couldn't call you yesterday because I got off work too late.
I followed you here like a little child.
So you must know how I feel right now.
Shouldn't you at least hear me out?
I have no space for you in my heart.
I'm trying really hard to be patient,
so can't you do the same?
I heard it wasn't your first time...
being summoned by my dad.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because nothing would've changed.
So will you stop bothering me now?
What do you expect from someone who no longer loves you anymore?
Love changes.
And I don't like you anymore.
We're currently fixing the fire sprinklers.
So things are quite messy inside.
It's okay. It won't take long.
Okay. Go on inside.
(Keep the place nice and tidy.)
Hello. The lights just went off.
They must've turned off the main switch for construction.
I'll have them turn it back on again.
Okay.
Help! There's someone inside!
- Why won't this open? - My goodness.
- Darn it! - There's someone inside.
What are we going to do? My goodness.
Why won't this open?
- Ji Eun! - Does it still not open?
Ji Eun! Ji Eun!
Ji Eun!
Help!
Get out of the way.
Ji Eun!
Ji Eun, are you okay?
You're okay now.
You're okay.
From now on,
let's not allow anything to get in the way...
of our love.
Why do you care so much?
Why do you do you care so much about me?
How could you be foolish enough to come in here?
I can't tell if you're me or if I'm you.
That's how much I love you.
(Phoenix 2020)
What happened? Did anyone get hurt?
Ji Eun didn't get hurt.
You should take her to the hospital.
You almost died, Jung Min.
I already died the moment you turned your back on me.
If I let go, you'll sink, right?
Stop joking around.
Mi Ran, that's enough.
