(Episode 72)
- Do you like me that much? - Shut it.
You never do what you want to do.
What do you think I want to do?
You know what.
My goodness.
Let's save that for later.
Right now, I need to focus on something else.
My gosh, this really isn't any of your business.
How is it not my business? My friend's heartbroken.
Gosh, you have no loyalty.
It's not about loyalty. It's more about privacy.
It's not over until it's over.
I feel bad for doing this to Jung Min,
but Ji Eun needs someone to lean on.
And Jung Min is the only person who can do that for her.
That must be him.
It won't take long.
Let's do what we need to do a little later.
I didn't make a mistake by calling you, did I?
No, of course not.
I'm pretty confident that I know Ji Eun better than you do.
I know you guys are close.
I don't know how to explain this.
You see, Ji Eun is a person...
who has her own solid views of the world.
You might not want to hear this,
but in order to explain Ji Eun,
I have no choice but to talk about Se Hoon.
It doesn't matter.
I stopped letting their past relationship...
get in between me and Ji Eun,
so you don't need to worry about it.
It's true that Ji Eun once loved him a lot,
but she also regrets it that much.
That's why she never opened up to anyone...
after she broke up with Se Hoon.
I'm not saying she never got over him.
I know what you mean.
She told me she was never interested in love.
When I saw Ji Eun fall in love with you,
I was very relieved.
Ji Eun really loved you,
but she had no choice but to accept the late chairman's offer.
She didn't push you away so she could be happy on her own.
And it wasn't because she was crazy about becoming successful.
If that was what she was after,
she wouldn't have broken up with the chairman's son.
I couldn't accept it at first,
so I thought maybe she wanted to hurt me...
and see me lose my mind.
But now I know...
that she's only running away from me because she doesn't want...
to feel guilty about making a deal with my dad.
That's not all.
She told me...
that she really regrets choosing Se Hoon...
even when she knew how much that was going to hurt her dad.
And that's why she had to choose her dad over love this time.
When the late Chairman Seo...
offered her to help her rebuild Bisang Apparel,
she couldn't stop thinking of her father,
and that's what prevented her from choosing love.
Some people just easily put the past behind them,
but Ji Eun can't do that...
because she thinks her father died because of her.
Her trauma...
is a lot more severe than we can imagine.
If she doesn't treat that scar of hers,
Ji Eun will never be able to get over what happened.
I guess I didn't know Ji Eun well enough.
I just thought she had a hard time forgetting about what happened.
I had no idea that she was blaming herself like that.
You're the only person who can help her heal.
What do you think I should do?
What can I do?
Just be there for her.
Come running to her like today whenever she's having a hard time.
Just love her and wait for her.
Don't try to find the answer just yet.
Can I join?
Why are you here?
To drink with you.
Bok Ja must've called.
I told her I missed you.
You know how you suddenly miss people sometimes.
You could've called me. Did you forget that already?
I told you to call me whenever.
I'm not that brazen.
Why? Do you think it's embarrassing?
My gosh.
Why don't we be...
a little more impulsive?
Why aren't you replying? It's embarrassing me.
My goodness.
I can easily tell...
that you need me to make you laugh today.
Tell me more.
- More? - Yes.
You want more? Goodness.
One day...
One day, a lion needed to brush his mane, but he had no brush.
And just then, a rabbit passed by.
So the lion asked the rabbit if he had a brush.
Do you know what the rabbit said?
"Rabbit. It's my brush."
Gosh, I really love your sense of humor.
Tell me one more.
- One more? - Yes.
Another one? Is this funny?
One day, a hawk and an eagle received fan letters.
And the hawk asked the eagle to pick the best letter.
- Okay. - Later on,
the hawk asked the eagle, "Which letter did you choose?"
- And the eagle replied... - I think I know this one.
"Eagle. This letter." Right?
My gosh, you must be really drunk...
seeing that you're laughing these lame jokes.
Yes, I'm totally drunk.
What? Do you have something to say?
Now that I'm drunk, you're a lot more attractive.
My gosh.
You dumped me, and now you're flirting with me?
I guess you're still angry that I dumped you.
Didn't I dump you?
You were the one who chased me around.
At least admit that you had fallen for me.
Yes, I had fallen for you.
I fell in love with you.
But...
I decided not to love you even though I still do.
Now that you've decided not to love me anymore,
does that mean we can start hanging out again?
That'd be great.
But what can we do together?
When we're at work, you'll still be the CEO of Bisang Apparel,
and I'll be the director of Seorin.
But we can drink,
watch movies, and work out together.
And we can exchange lame jokes like we did just now.
Who says you can't hang out with your ex?
Let's just do what Hollywood stars do.
Should we do that?
But I don't think we should.
Why not?
Because you need to hurry up and meet someone nice.
You wanted to get married and have a happy family.
You grew up lonely,
so marry someone who's going to be a loving wife...
and have a son who looks just like you.
You should live a happy and fun life.
My gosh.
When I said that, you were the one I had in mind.
Meet a woman who will stay faithful...
and is willing to give it her all to be with you.
A woman who will be a good mother to your children.
And someone who will give you her utmost support as your wife...
so you can focus on leading the company.
My goodness.
You have my whole life planned out.
Then how about the ambitious woman in front of me?
How do you plan to live?
I'm going to make Bisang Textile...
fall into the top 10 companies in the industry.
I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to make that possible...
in about 10 years.
Luck only comes to those who work hard.
You have what it takes, and you're competent.
But of course,
you can be too persevering at times, but you'll make it.
I know you will.
I don't know if I will,
but I'm going to try.
I hurt someone so I could do this.
That person is okay, so don't worry.
I wonder what kind of person you will be in 10 years.
I'm not sure.
But by then, I'm hoping I won't be hung up on you anymore.
I can't believe Director Choi is your biological mother.
I understand why you didn't tell me.
Some things that happen in life are just hard to believe.
Is that why you came to my house that night...
and told me you found out whom your biological mother was...
and asked me to comfort you?
I came hoping that you'd comfort me,
and I won't ever forget...
how cold you were to me today.
You keep looking down on me,
so I'll make sure you learn that you should never belittle me.
I wanted you to console me.
But you were already sick and tired of me.
And that made me want to destroy you,
which is why I accepted Director Choi's offer.
But I had no idea you had done the same.
I didn't know Jung Min would turn himself in to the prosecution.
It wasn't an easy choice to make.
Now that I look back, I was a fool.
I was so focused on trying to beat Jung Min...
that I overlooked the fact that he could take the bull by the horns.
I'm glad I didn't go any further since I would've regretted it more.
I know she's my mother, but she's very cunning.
She's quick to notice what the other person needs,
and she uses that to her advantage.
It must've been tough.
I bet it was hard to accept when you heard she was your mother.
I'm okay now.
I also feel sorry for her as a fellow woman.
But I'm worried that you guys are walking different paths.
She's your mother, so I should keep my manners.
That's not what I'm asking you to do.
Up until now, she did anything to get her way,
and she'll continue to do that.
She even used her daughter to get revenge.
So she'll do everything she can to get in between you and Jung Min...
and find your weakness.
But of course, she won't be able to find anything...
because you're a righteous man.
If you look closely enough, everyone has a weakness.
Don't you remember?
I told you I'm not a good person.
Whenever I'm with you, time passes by so quickly.
I totally forgot that it was over between us today.
You can forget about it tomorrow as well.
Tomorrow, I'm going to start drawing a line again.
Yes, I know. I've accepted that.
But do you know something, Ji Eun?
When a woman loves a man, she gives it 100 percent.
And when they break up, she takes all of that back.
But when a man loves a woman,
he only gives her 50 percent because he isn't sure if it's love.
And once they break up, he starts regretting it...
and fills the remaining 50 percent by longing for her.
I only gave you half of my love.
So you can always come back and let me give you the other half.
You already gave me more than 100 percent of your heart.
Meanwhile, I didn't even give you 50 percent.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that apologizing is the only thing I can say.
My goodness, you're such a crybaby.
Don't cry.
Just stop crying and cheer up. That's all I want from you.
Gosh, it's cold. We'll catch a cold.
You should go home.
You go first.
I want to see you leave first.
Okay then. I'll go.
Ms. Lee, you're a mean woman.
Do you like breaking men's hearts?
Are you a pro at playing hard to get?
Watch what you say.
You still don't know what you did wrong.
Jung Min is soft-hearted. Are you playing around with him?
If you broke up with him,
you shouldn't sway him like that.
Oh, I see.
Do you not care whether or not he has a hard time?
Ms. Lee, you're unbelievable.
- Listen. - Listen to me first.
I'm sure you know this since you guys were in love.
He grew up very lonely...
because he had no one to lean on.
Now that you guys are over,
you can't make him come and go because of you.
That's enough. I get what you mean.
I know you don't want to listen, but let me say one last thing.
I got shocked after I found out you and Jung Min used to date.
I only hit on you...
and said absurd things to you because I'm a sociable guy.
And the reason I'm here...
is because I got worried and followed Jung Min.
I get what you mean, so please go back.
Don't forget the stuff I said to you...
out of concern.
Don't give him false hope now that it's over.
Just stay out of his life once and for all.
You look like a woman of action,
so I'll be off now.
Seo Jung Min and Lee Ji Eun.
You guys are in for a miserable ride.
You still don't know what you did wrong.
Jung Min is soft-hearted. Are you playing around with him?
If you broke up with him, you shouldn't sway him like that.
Everything he said was right.
I'm a horrible woman.
Jung Min, I'm back.
Jung Min!
Where is he?
(Seorin Group, List of Board Members)
Where were you?
I went to the hotel to pack up and check out.
When did you come back?
Not too long ago.
Where were you?
Why do you want to know?
Why do you keep secrets?
It's not a secret. I just don't want to talk about it right now.
Are you dating someone?
My gosh, you punk.
There must be someone judging by that smile on your face.
I wonder what kind of woman managed to steal your heart.
I'll tell you once it's time.
Then I'll continue...
to be curious.
Ha Jun, let's go to work together tomorrow.
I know you haven't gotten appointed yet,
but you can take a look around the office...
and meet the people you'll be working with.
And while you stay here, you can use the guest room.
Aren't you going to sleep?
You can go to bed first. I need to read over a few documents.
Jung Min.
What kind of woman is Ms. Lee?
- Don't show interest in her. - Why not?
Didn't you hear her? She's in love with someone else.
You'll be working with her soon.
so you'd better not make any mistakes.
I'm not interested in her.
To give you a short explanation,
I just joked around with her a few times...
because we ran into each other so often.
I'm going to sleep now.
(How to treat traumas)
She thinks her father died because of her.
Her trauma...
is a lot more severe than we can imagine.
If she doesn't treat that scar of hers,
Ji Eun will never be able to get over what happened.
I told you I loved you, but I still knew nothing about you.
I'm sorry. I really am.
(Seorin)
Ms. Lee, good morning.
Good morning, Director Seo.
Good morning. Hi.
What's that tie clip?
It's pretty. Let me have it.
No, I got it as a gift.
Hey, it's crooked.
"Eres tu"? "Right beside you"?
- I see you got this from a woman. - Give it back.
Don't worry, man. I'll fix it for you.
It's better to keep things nice and straight...
because you're a righteous man.
Stop buttering me up, you villain.
Villains always make things more interesting.
My twisted personality is also my charm.
Ms. Lee, can you give me a short briefing...
regarding the launch of our online mall before the meeting?
If it's not for anything specific, I'd like to do the presentation...
in front of everyone at the meeting.
I'll be off now.
I guess she doesn't like you.
Me?
She doesn't like you.
I'm not that unattractive.
Shut it. Let's go.
(Seorin)
I'm serious.
So what's your point?
There's no point.
I came hoping to get an answer from you.
Then you shouldn't have come empty-handed.
Jung Min has my weakness, so you should've brought that.
Why are you so obsessed about that weakness of yours?
If Jung Min has your weakness,
you just need to become more powerful.
Let me tell you one more thing.
When you have someone else's weakness,
you tend to let your guard down, which makes you become weak.
Jung Min is busy paying his inheritance tax...
to abide by the law.
And people love him for that.
A conglomerate's son who communicates with people.
Anyway, he's busy enjoying the spotlight...
that he no longer has his guard up.
And in order to strike a blow,
we need to hold hands. Do you understand?
You always speak so well.
If you want to become stronger,
believe in yourself, not me.
You need to believe that you can become stronger.
It's true that I'd hate to see...
Jung Min take over the chairman's seat.
I guess I really should start believing in myself again.
If you guarantee my position within the company,
I might get on board.
How about the vice-chairwoman?
I guess that will have to do for now.
I'm sorry, sir.
I sent you the draft...
because someone used that design to enter the contest.
But we can't seem to reach that person.
My boss wanted to invest in Bisang Textile...
because he liked the design.
If you fail to use that design, he might withdraw his investment.
I can't guarantee that we'll find the designer,
but can you give us a week before you decide?
The designer sent us the design to enter the contest,
so I feel like he or she might call.
Yes.
Thank you, sir. I'll call you back.
Okay, bye.
Did he agree to give us time?
He said "yes" for now, but I think I took my chances.
But when you make a mistake,
it's best to apologize than to hide it.
So I'm glad I told him the truth.
- Ms. Choi. - Yes?
Please upload a post on our webpage,
Seorin Group's online bulletin board,
our social media accounts, and any other possible sites.
Make sure you tell people that we're willing to pay them too.
I can't remember how her lips looked.
The investor is going to withdraw the investment...
if we fail to find Alley within a week.
Ms. Lee is even willing to pay a reward to whomever finds Alley.
What a magnanimous woman.
The woman who just came is Han Na Kyung.
She's the person who told me everything about Ms. Lee.
Are you here to fetch me again so you can give me more work?
Just go back to the office and finish your data mining task.
Thank you.
It's hot.
- Mr. Kim, over here. - Oh, right.
Wait a minute. What...
Where's Ji Eun?
You're asking for her as soon as you're here?
It's not that.
I feel intimidated to be with you alone.
I'm guessing that means I'm a useful person...
who knows how to think quickly.
I never even dreamed that you'd end up working with Ji Eun.
Life isn't a dream.
I'm saying it's a good thing.
Are you Alley?
Who gave you permission to look through my sketchbook?
Can you make time for me tonight?
Do you suddenly want to get to know me?
Mr. Shin, please.
Jung Min.
Ms. Lee asked me out on a date.
(Phoenix 2020)
Why did he drink so much?
We keep delaying our breakup even though it's over between us.
We need to stop that now.
I've decided not to keep you locked up inside me.
If I can't get over you,
it might be better to let myself fall for you completely.
Has the committee delayed the schedule to declare him braindead?
His family no longer wishes to donate his organs.
They can't do that now. What about Se Hoon?
Ha Jun, Ji Eun is the woman I love.
You guys aren't dating anymore. Am I not allowed to love her?
