It's all thanks to you, Ji Eun.
The photo exhibition went well,
so I won't have to be so nervous about the fake painting for long.
But Director Choi, there's something strange.
The reporter who threatened Chairman Seo...
wasn't even on the list of guests.
And no one overheard our conversation.
So how did anyone find out that Mi Ran could walk again?
Here's what I think.
If that reporter really wanted to publish an article about it,
he wouldn't have called the chairman.
What matters is that he wanted to get paid.
And I don't think anything will happen...
until Mi Ran finally announces that she can walk tomorrow.
Do you know which newspaper company the reporter works for?

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)
Why are you so incompetent?
If things keep going like this, we'll be at a deficit again.
We haven't been able to collect...
the money that was invested into the joint project.
So that wasn't reflected in the sales report.
We both know we have to wait until we launch the brand...
for the joint project to make money.
But you still should've made results in the short-term.
How are you going to deal with the money we lost due to the fire?
I'm still talking about it with the strategy and planning team.
I bet my chances on you...
because I thought you'd bring me a big bonus.
But you've failed to meet my expectations,
and you're the one causing trouble these days.
I'm truly sorry about what happened with Mi Ran.
If you fail to deal with this,
you could end up getting fired.
Yes, of course. If I make the company lose money,
it's only right that I leave.
After tomorrow's press conference,
the wheelchair incident will no longer be an issue.
From what I heard, you even once got a divorce.
Why do you have such bad taste in women?
Look at the mess that Mi Ran has caused.
Mi Ran needs to tell the press that she could start walking...
after the styling event...
in order for people to believe her.
So you'd better convince her.
She already agreed to cooperate.
She knows it's better for her to announce that she can walk.
So she won't cause any more trouble.
If we fail to catch the informant,
things can get out of hand.
I'll deal with it, sir.
There's something suspicious about him.
You look tired.
I shouldn't be tired yet. I need to hang in there.
We all live with the consequences of our choices.
I stayed quiet about Mi Ran's performance on stage,
so it's only right that I take responsibility.
We all feel pressured when things become...
too difficult to handle.
But even if I feel pressured,
the right thing to do is to keep myself together.
People say...
it takes a long time for you to become the person you want to be.
But you're a tenacious person,
so I'm sure you'll overcome the hardships that come your way.
Please make sure Mi Ran doesn't do anything unexpected.
Why did it take you so long to write the report?
You kept me waiting all day!

"Bisang Apparel"?
(1990 to 2010: Bisang Apparel Accredited reporter)
(In 2009 with my old friend and chairman of Bisang Apparel)
It's me.
I checked the blog you told me earlier,
and it turns out the reporter who called Chairman Seo...
used to be an accredited reporter to Bisang Apparel.
It didn't even take me a second to realize...
that Ji Eun is the informant.
Taking revenge is like digging up two graves.
Are you ready to risk everything?
I've been through a lot of horrible things.
So I'm also capable of doing them myself.
Love is bound to betray and disappoint.
But I should teach Ji Eun a lesson.
She should know what will happen to her if she gets in my way.
(Reporter Kim: I'm here!)
Where did you get this video?
I got an email from an anonymous person on Christmas.
When I clicked on the email,
I saw videos of Mi Ran walking.
Who could it be?
Why did that person send it to you?
I'm not sure.
But I suddenly thought to myself...
that maybe someone sent it to me on Christmas...
to tell me that I don't need to be scared.
It also felt like...
that person was reprimanding me for not stopping Mi Ran...
from going up on stage.
As you already know, I used to be a helper.
And getting hired here for the joint project...
was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.
And in the end,
I compromised because I didn't want to lose that opportunity.
And that's how you got involved in Yoon Mi Ran's mess?
Anyway, it was a great idea for you to use Chairman Seo.
He's the only person...
who will do absolutely everything...
to save his company from a crisis.
But he'll surely try his best to find out who was behind this.
My getting fired is the worst thing that could happen.
I know there's no way back, but I don't regret it.
But of course, I realized that financial instability...
could really pressure you.
So I was always intimidated and scared.
I pretended to be cheerful.
But every time the sun came up,
I was scared to get through the day.
Ji Eun.
You know how much I admire your late father, right?
Your father once...
told me this.
"There are three ways to live your life."
"You can run away, be a bystander,"
"or take the bull by its horns."
Whenever I'm faced with a problem,
I always think of what he said to me.
But most of the time, I make excuses...
and choose to be a bystander.
But unlike me, your father liked facing things.
I'm sorry I made you get involved in this.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I don't have much to lose.
And people already hate me for being a reporter.
So you don't need to worry.
I've pulled myself together.
And I learned that there's always a way...
as long as you're determined to make things work.
Yes. Your father will be proud of you.
(Yoon Mi Ran's press conference, A wheelchair miracle)
It's up to me to decide what I want.
Who are they to tell me what to do?
If I don't want to get condemned for lying,
I guess it'd be better to announce that I'm able to walk again.
You look like you're doing okay. I'm relieved.
You told me you're not worried or curious about me anymore.
So why are you here?
Oh, I see.
You must be here to check up on me...
because you were worried I might not show up to the press conference.
Yes, I came to make sure you show up.
It looks like I have the upper hand.
Instead of making a promise I can't keep,
it might be better to just decline.
Do you know how much trouble you've caused to everyone?
You're just upset because I put Ji Eun in trouble.
Will you please think properly?
This is related to Seorin Group.
And you'll be put on the spot for lying to everyone.
I don't care.
People can badmouth me all they want.
It's not like they're going to live my life for me.
So I don't care.
If what I did ended up putting Ji Eun in trouble,
that's enough to satisfy me.
Why are you taking it out on her?
The reason we broke up is because we no longer trust each other.
We're the ones to blame.
No, you're the one to blame.
You were the one who made my anxiety turn into anger.
It's because you changed.
Then what about you?
You doubted me and pressured me.
And you lied to me...
even though you could walk.
You used my guilt against me.
So how do you expect me to love you?
"Love"?
Don't you dare say that word.
You have no right to use that word.
Everything happens for a reason.
Even though I could walk,
I couldn't tell you the great news...
because that's how anxious you made me feel.
You promised to stay by my side, but you broke that promise.
No, you made me break it.
I asked you to understand.
I clearly told you that I don't intend on...
getting back together with her.
I told you that Ji Eun is just someone...
who left me with a lot of pain and regret.
So I asked you to wait until I'm okay again...
even if I get swayed for a little while.
I asked you that so many times.
If you hadn't used my guilt against me,
I wouldn't have turned my back on you.
You said you loved me, but you only cared about yourself.
And that's why things won't ever get better...
no matter how hard we try.
Why don't you be honest about yourself?
The only reason you gave up on Ji Eun...
is because she's with Jung Min now.
You keep giving me excuses, and I'm sick of it.
And since you're continuing to be so lame,
I should keep acting this way too.
Mi Ran.
You're very frustrating.
The door was open, so I let myself in.
You should try to make her open up first.
Stop pressuring her like that.
You should've come here without your pride.
I always knew you were inflexible,
but if you keep acting that way,
you'd only be provoking her to act out.
I get so angry every time I talk to her.
We all feel two emotions at once.
Desire and fear.
She still desires to hold onto you.
And I know she said...
she doesn't care about getting condemned.
But we live among others.
I'm sure she's scared of being labeled as a liar by the public.
Don't worry about her. You should go.
I'll talk to her.
When did you find out about me and Ji Eun?
Jung Min told me.
But of course, I haven't told the chairman.
Jung Min told me he can't live without Ji Eun,
so I should encourage him.
I'm not interested in doing business with his marriage.
And Ji Eun is a decent woman...
apart from the fact that she was married once.
I'd be satisfied to have her as my daughter-in-law.
I'll be off then.
You should get some rest.
Maybe it's because the chairman nagged at you all day,
but you look very exhausted.
You lost Mr. Jang, but you're able to walk now.
And you'll be able to get your life back.
Isn't that a good thing?
Who are you to keep being so nosy?
Are you going to be angry for about another hour?
Then I'll wait.
Mi Ran, you're confused, aren't you?
I think I could help.
What a horrible mother.
Why? What is it?
There's this app where you can sell used items,
and someone uploaded a post saying she'd like...
to sell her baby for 200 dollars.
My goodness, what a monstrous person.
So what? What happened to the baby?
The baby was taken to a facility...
and is getting ready to get adopted.
The mother must've been a single mother.
She had the baby because she got pregnant.
But the guy ran away,
and she didn't think she could raise the baby on her own.
She tried to give the baby up for adoption,
but apparently, the process is very complicated.
So she got angry and ended up doing something so horrible.
She did it out of anger?
No matter how angry she was, she's insane...
for wanting to sell her own baby.
I know I have no right to judge or criticize others...
since I don't know what they're going through.
But what happened to that baby is absolutely horrible.
If the baby grows up and hears this story,
he won't be able to live a normal life.
People go astray because of their scars.
Goodness, I feel so bad.
If the baby's foster parents give him a lot of love,
then his anger will subside.
Just because you gave birth doesn't mean you're a good parent.
It might be better for the baby to get adopted...
and meet nice foster parents.
My goodness.
It's our job as parents to take care of our kids...
until they become adults.
But I failed to do that,
so I don't deserve to be a father either.
That's nonsense.
It's not like you abandoned your son.
You just got unlucky and lost him.
I'm sure he lived a happy life with really nice foster parents,
and I'm sure he's doing well right now.
They say, "Sincerity moves the skies."
You always donate money and do volunteer work.
You're always busy doing kind things.
So I bet the skies got touched...
and took good care of your son.
We've been through enough to know.
There's a reason why people say, "What goes around comes around."
That's why I stayed hopeful and refused to live in despair.
If I die later on and end up meeting the deity,
and it turns out my son lived an unhappy life,
I swear I'll grab that deity by the collars.
Okay, I'll help.
You know I can be really mean with my words.
It's very reassuring to have such a brave girlfriend.
Hey.
What's on your mind this time?
I messed up.
What?
I tried to be smart, but it ended up in a mess.
I pretended like I was dating to make her feel jealous.
But I'm the one who ended up getting jealous.
Is that girl you're interested in dating someone else?
Gosh, I'm just going to get myself a beer.
Hey, you seem young, so let me ask you something.
Do you know how to start...
your own YouTube channel?
We're trying to upload a video so we can find someone.
It's simple. You just need to film a video with your cell phone...
and upload it on the site.
Then how can we add subtitles and edit the video?
Well...
You just need to click on "options".
"Options"?
Where can we buy that?
Is it expensive?
He's rich, you know.
My gosh.
I don't know much,
but it sounds like we need to click on something.
Is that correct?
Yes, that's right.
But I'm not sure if you'll be able to do it.
Adding subtitles and editing the video can be very complicated,
although uploading videos is fairly easy.
Do you know how to do it?
Yes, I know.
But are you going to ask me for help?
Gosh.
Not for free. We'll pay you, of course.
But who is it that you want to find by uploading a video?
My son.
I lost him 23 years ago.
- Hey, guys. - Hey.
You got off work late today.
Didn't your boss drive you home today?
Jung Min went to Hong Kong on a business trip.
Hello, it's surprising to meet you.
People at the company already know that you're dating Director Seo.
It looks like you're the only one who didn't know.
Mom, I'm thinking about quitting.
Well, I understand.
You're dating the chairman's son...
who's also the director.
So the employees could feel uncomfortable about it.
If you marry Jung Min,
you'll become the chairman's daughter-in-law.
So you were bound to quit one day anyway.
Just because we're dating doesn't mean we're going to get married.
You're just going to date at your age?
When a man and woman like each other, they date,
get married, and have kids.
That's the norm.
On top of that, it looks like Jung Min is ready to spend...
the rest of his life with you.
Jung Min would've been upset if he heard you say that.
Even if Jung Min turns out to be the one...
who will be living with me for the rest of my life,
I don't want to just stay home and be a housewife.
Does he want you to be a housewife?
I don't know. We never really talked about that.
But Jung Min already knows what kind of woman I am.
He told me I'm really ambitious.
If our family business didn't go bankrupt,
you would've inherited Bisang Apparel.
And you'd have your own office...
as the chairwoman.
Mom, don't laugh.
Do you know what my dream is?
I never said it out loud.
But my dream is to reestablish...
Bisang Apparel.
My grandpa started the company as Bisang Textile,
and Dad built it into Bisang Apparel.
We may have gone bankrupt,
but we can always start over again.
I know, but things are different.
We can't start a business without a steppingstone.
Instead of wondering whether or not something is possible,
it's better to wonder whether or not to take action.
Isn't that such a great saying?
It sounds nice,
but things aren't easy in real life.
Just marry Jung Min...
and build Seorin into a bigger firm.
Mom, my definition of success...
isn't making a lot of money...
or becoming someone with a lot of power.
It's more like my desire...
to make up for Dad's death since he passed away because of me.
He didn't die because of you.
He was just destined to die at that age.
So don't blame yourself.
It's going to break his heart.
I think about him a lot these days.
You have a lot to do now.
If anything gets in the way...
of your succeeding the company,
I'll deal with it.
And I'll do everything to make sure everything goes smoothly.
However, Ji Eun, I can only be your steppingstone.
When it comes to power, you need to gain it yourself.
Don't let anyone else have control.
You need power to suppress your opponent...
in order to lead a company.
And that's how you can protect yourself...
from those who try to sway you.
You have my faith, Ji Eun.

I wonder who it was...
that helped me take action at the right timing.
(Title: Chance)
"Chance"?
Let me use this chance to make you trust me.
Let me use this chance to be stubborn today...
so I can feel at ease.
Jung Min?
I was just about to press on...
"Call Me".
I was just about to call you, Jung Min.
I guess we had a telepathic connection.
I got here in the afternoon, so I was busy.
That's why it took me a while to call.
I bet today was a long day for you.
Your report was due today,
and I bet the chairman was harsh on you again.
I'm sorry. Let me apologize on his behalf.
You don't need to apologize.
I fully deserve to get scolded for what happened.
What matters is that I compromised.
And I brought it upon myself.
If I was determined to stop Mi Ran from going up on stage,
I would've done everything to stop her.
So from now on,
if anything unexpected...
or scary happens to me again,
worrying about myself will be the last thing I do.
I may have been desperate,
but I wasn't courageous enough to actually change myself.
It sounds like you've become a lot more resolute.
But just know that there's nothing you can do alone.
And my job is to protect you.
You really are a lifesaver, Jung Min.
I miss you, Ji Eun. Why don't you show me your face?
Let's do a video call.
No, I look like a mess right now.
You make me want to see you even more.
I'm going to call you right away. You'd better pick up, okay?
My gosh.
Goodness.
My gosh, he really doesn't know much about women.
Women don't like doing video calls at night.
Did you put lip balm on?
Your lips are glossy.
Did you miss my kiss?
Must I tell you that?
I miss you even when you're next to me.
You make me want to run over to you.
Jung Min, why do you love me?
Ji Eun, listen to this.
"I will go to you like snowflakes."
"I will not hesitate, waver,"
"or conceal."
"I just wish to be a part of your innocent life..."
"and become a warm winter for you."
It's a poem called "Winter Love" written by Moon Jung Hee.
And it's exactly how I feel.
Because my love for you tells me I should help you...
carry your burden.
I love you, Jung Min.
I love you.
