(Episode 64)
Is he suffering from a heart disease again?
If you're suffering from a big trauma in the past,
you could remember things differently...
due to your desire to recover.
We all have a moment we want to go back to.
Sir, I'm sorry, but can you drive a bit faster?
I run a furniture studio, and the guy who sells me wood...
is already there waiting for me.
Please do me a favor.
Oh, right.
Ji Eun should also be at the studio by now.
Sir, please stop the car.
If you take strong painkillers,
it could reduce your heart pain.
But as a side effect, it could cause severe headaches.
What worries me more is that you might have delirium...
which could cause distorted memories or memory loss.
Will, wake up! Will!
How was the fashion show?
Did it go well?
What are you talking about?
What's the matter?
What are you doing here?
"OxyContin"?
This is a narcotic analgesic.
Is there a problem...
with your heart again?
You wanted me to die anyway.
I thought to myself...
that you must've hated me so much...
to want to hit me with your car.
I'm...
sorry, Mi Ran.
It's okay.
I need to stop being so forgetful.
(CEO Jang Se Hoon)
I'm sorry, Ms. Lee.
I called you by mistake.
I probably called her when I wasn't in my right mind.
I was told I could show symptoms of delirium.
I guess Lee Ji Eun...
is the only person you remember.
I mistreated her a lot.
How exactly did you mistreat her?
When her parents disapproved of me,
it hurt my pride.
So I looked down on her parents and treated them like snobs.
I knew she was having a hard time...
between me and her parents,
but I still stayed stubborn.
I never once thought of yielding to her.
I could've done that at least once,
but I didn't want to.
My pettiness pushed things to the limit,
and although Ji Eun tried to save our relationship,
I pushed her away from me...
even though she was pregnant with my baby.
That's how she ended up having a miscarriage.
When I handed over the documents...
regarding her family's irregularities to the prosecution,
I honestly hoped that their business...
would collapse.
And eventually, that really happened.
I tell myself that it wasn't my fault,
but I can't help but feel guilty sometimes.
You can...
You can stop now.
Please let me finish.
I feel like it'll help you understand me better.
I started to have chest pains a few months before...
we came back to Korea, so I went to see my doctor.
And that's when I heard about the relapse.
It made me worry about a lot of things.
"What am I going to do about my company's debt?"
"What's going to happen to my employees?"
"What about Mi Ran who's solely depending on me..."
"to take care of her?"
"And what am I going to do about my guilt toward Ji Eun?"
That's when I got an offer from Seorin.
It was the perfect offer considering the situation I was in.
Of course, I had to give up...
some of my Cosmetic Cherokee stocks to Chairman Seo.
But he cleared off the company debt for me,
and I liked that I could cancel the contract...
whenever I wanted to.
And the remaining problem was you.
I followed you here because I couldn't break up with you.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the relapse.
I thought it'd be better not to tell you...
since you were in a wheelchair.
Now that I look back, it's what I regret the most.
If I were honest with you,
you would've been able to understand me.
And you wouldn't have felt so uneasy...
about Ji Eun involved in between us.
And you would've told me that you were able to walk again.
It's my fault.
It's my fault...
that you didn't tell me.
So what?
You're just going to blame yourself and die?
You can live if you get a transplant, right?
I'm on the waiting list,
but it's hard to find a donor.
I'm going to save your life...
even if it means I need to take the heart out of a living person.
Your unconditional love for me made me laugh at times.
But there were times when I felt suffocated...
because of how reckless you were.
I admit that I was desperate to cling onto someone...
after I got into an accident and couldn't walk.
But I truly loved you.
I know I made you get sick of me,
but I hated you for being so distant.
I hated you...
and loved you at the same time.
I was so focused on my scars that I was blind about yours.
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry you had to come all the way here.
I couldn't meet you at my office because this meeting...
had to be kept confidential.
Who cares where we meet?
I like you because you know how to take initiative...
and have a clear goal and objective.
I should've gone to Shanghai to meet you myself,
but as you know, I'm being investigated by the prosecution,
so I had to ask you to come to Korea.
I flew here in an instant...
to buy your stocks because it sounded appealing.
Thank you for making a quick decision.
Like I promised,
I'll give you four percent of the stocks I own.
Mr. Cha will take care of the rest.
Sir.
This may sound shameless, but I have one more favor to ask.
This is an investment proposal for one of our new projects...
directed by our future strategy team.
You want me to invest in your reckless ambition...
to reform Seorin?
I'm sure you like the saying that goes, "Too big to fail".
Well, I like it too.
It means a big horse...
will find a way to live no matter what.
You need to be realistic when you run a business,
and you must take action in order to achieve things.
And there needs to be a change in order to take a bigger leap.
You make me want to support you no matter how reckless it may be.
I'll call you after I take a look at the validity of the project.
I'll talk to you next time.
Will, you should get hospitalized.
It's not like I can get better by getting hospitalized.
I don't want to lie in the hospital and wait for a donor.
I also have work to do at Seorin.
Work isn't important right now.
Seorin is in a crisis.
So what if it collapses? Why is it so important to you?
Because I'm the CEO.
The owner of the company is just a major stockholder...
who owns a part of the company.
The company doesn't just belong to one single individual.
Seo Jung Min and I finally have the same goal for the company,
so we agreed to reform Seorin...
to make that come true.
I feel like it'll be the most...
worthy and intense thing I do before I die.
It'll help me persevere.
It's going to be the most meaningful thing I do in life.
You can't make me change my mind.
Then let me be stubborn too.
I can't let you live here all by yourself.
What if you show delirium symptoms...
and collapse again?
Let me stay by your side.
I won't ask you to love me.
I just want to make up for how mean I was to you.
You took care of me...
when I was bedridden due to the accident.
Let me do the same for you.
I'll quietly disappear from your life...
once you find a donor and get a transplant.
Will.
Please don't push me away until the very end.
I'm sure you also need time to part ways with me.
Time to get ready to live a new life.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm off to apologize to a friend.
I'll be staying at my friend's for a while.
So you can just stay here.
She's off to apologize to a friend?
(Personnel Information)
Tell me what I need to know about Lee Ji Eun.
Director Seo liked her a lot.
Yes, I'm sure he liked her considering that they dated.
That's not what I want to know.
I want to know why Chairman Seo...
gave her Bisang Textile.
She got it in return for breaking up with Director Seo.
How daring of her.
She and I might speak the same language.
You're going to make it big.
You know what I like.
- Here. - No, it's okay.
Just take it when I give it to you.
My arm hurts. Go on and take it.
You don't want any, right?
Okay, keep going.
She's also Mr. Jang Se Hoon's ex-wife.
My goodness.
No wonder Chairman Seo disapproved of her.
About Kim Jong Hyuk, the chief prosecutor...
Seeing that he hasn't reached out to me until now,
he seems like a guy who loves to weigh his options.
This is a great opportunity for prosecutors...
who are desperate to punish conglomerate owners.
Do you think he might try to get Jung Min locked up in jail?
He'll probably investigate the case very meticulously...
to prove that he's not just doing this for show.
Is Ji Eun in her office?
The new business starts next week.
She'll have a lot to do, so she's probably there.
Bring that for me.
Put it down so I can tie a ribbon around it.
(I wish Bisang Textile a big success.)
Can you make changes to the design in your portfolio...
and resend it to me?
By this weekend.
Yes. Okay, thanks in advance.
Bye.
(Bisang Textile, CEO Lee Ji Eun)
I think I should hire this person as the designer.
I already hired an accountant.
That means I just need to find an MD and a PR specialist.
Hi, I'm Jung Min's aunt.
(I wish Bisang Textile a big success.)
It doesn't taste too expensive, but it's a nice choice.
I guess you still like Jung Min even though it's over.
Seeing that you're nervous,
you must still care about Jung Min.
You can go ahead and tell me why you're here.
I'm ready to listen.
I have nothing to say. I just came to wish you a big success.
I heard my brother disapproved of you...
because you were once married.
I know this may sound inappropriate,
but he's gone now,
so I don't see why you can't marry Jung Min.
We already broke up.
It's okay.
You must feel guilty for accepting Bisang Textile...
in return for breaking up with Jung Min.
But who cares?
I heard you speak a little Chinese.
"When the water is too clear, there are no fish."
It's what comes out in "The Book of the Later Han".
And it means...
no one will stay by your side if you're too kind and innocent.
I'm not as honest and just as you may think I am.
You don't have any friends, do you?
When you're too ruthless and smart,
people tend to get scared and avoid you.
I was just like you.
And it really put me through a lot.
By the way,
I'm acquainted with your mother.
Back when we were young,
we learned ballet together.
- Have a good day. - Thank you.
(Chief Prosecutor Kim Jong Hyuk)
"Chief Prosecutor Kim Jong Hyuk"?
Kids should get punished every once in a while.
I'll try to come up with something to get Seo Jung Min locked up.
- Have you seen my cell phone? - Did you forget to take it?
I'm so forgetful these days. I'll see you.
Bye.
(Director's office)
(My love, Lee Ji Eun)
(Jung Min, I need to talk to you.)
(It's really important. Please call me back.)
Then why didn't you tell me?
There's something more...
between you and my father, isn't there?
My dad's against our relationship, so when he asked you for help,
he must've promised something in return.
What was the deal?
He offered to help me rebuild Bisang Apparel...
in return for breaking up with you.
In return for breaking up with me?
I'm sorry.
I never should've loved you.
Ji Eun.
You never loved me.
Ji Eun.
I can't fall out of love with you yet.
I don't want you to become an old memory.
So tell me...
that you won't just love me in your head.
(Delete)
(My love, Lee Ji Eun)
(Bisang Textile Lee Ji Eun)
(2021 Strategy to reform the textile and fashion industry)
I told you not to come here.
My blood pressure rises every time I see you...
because it reminds me of that punk.
Let's go, Yoo Na.
I told you I didn't want to come here.
You can't just leave just because she kicks you out.
That's so unimpressive of you.
Ms. Lee's mother can be very scary.
She's Ms. Lee's mother?
Ma'am.
- What? - Article 13 of the Constitution.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence..."
"within the borders of each state."
What's your point?
My point is...
we have every right to be here.
Let's just go to the marketplace.
You don't want them...
spreading rumors at work saying Ji Eun's mother is reckless.
Go ahead and sit down.
I'm sure you were offended, so the beer is on the house.
Let's go to the marketplace. I'll buy you pig trotters.
I hate pig trotters.
You know nothing about me.
Why aren't you married, Yoo Na?
I didn't tell you, did I?
I've already been married once.
We don't have any children. I don't want to get married again.
But I do want to date someone.
I liked you ever since we first met.
What do you think about me? Aren't I a nice catch?
I'm competent, I come from a nice family,
and I wouldn't say I'm that bad looking.
I wouldn't say I'm not attracted to you,
but I don't want to get involved in between you two.
Wait a minute. Between us two?
Whom are you talking about?
Director Nam used to like you.
She may be dating Yeo Jin right now,
but I'm sure it won't last since she's over 10 years older than him.
That means you still stand a chance.
My gosh, you're unbelievable.
No way.
That will never happen. She's like a brother to me.
Bok Ja and I are like...
sworn brothers.
I heard you're against marriage.
So I bet you're not interested in having serious relationships.
You probably asked me to drink with you tonight...
hoping you might get lucky.
You really aren't impressive.
Then...
let me show you how impressive I can be.
(Bisang Textile, CEO Lee Ji Eun)
(Jung Min, I need to talk to you.)
(It's really important. Please call me back.)
May I help you?
There's something you need to know, Jung Min.
I'm guessing it's not about work.
But what more is there for us to talk about?
I get why you're being so cold to me,
but please hear me out.
Your aunt came to my office earlier this afternoon.
She accidentally left her cell phone behind,
and I happened to see the text she got.
It was a text from Chief Prosecutor Kim Jong Hyuk...
saying he'll get you locked up.
I can't believe she already reached out to him.
You should be prepared for it.
Act like you don't know anything for now.
It's not always good to take the bull by its horn.
Didn't we agree...
to stay out of each other's lives?
I'm sorry.
I know I have no right to get involved.
Do you know what your problem is?
It's that you know too little about yourself.
What do I not know about myself?
That you never keep your promise when it comes to your feelings.
Ji Eun.
I'd prefer to see you heartless...
since you abandoned our love to get what you wanted.
Stop coming over to me to show how much it hurts...
just because you feel sorry for what you did.
It looks like you want me to leave as soon as possible,
so I'll leave.
(Phoenix 2020)
I will quickly help you get rid of your ambition...
to take over Seorin.
How could you not tell me?
I'm sorry.
How much do you trust me?
What about you? How much have you come to trust me?
Some say you need to trust people to see their true intentions.
Then trust me.
Sir, the prosecutors suddenly barged into the office.
Mr. Seo Jung Min, you're under arrest without a warrant.
Jang Se Hoon!
