(Episode 92)
I told you to go home.
Why are you still here?
I figured you might feel frustrated.
So I thought you might want to take a walk...
to organize your thoughts.
But it's raining outside, sir.
It's ironic how the weakest person is...
giving me the most strength.
I'm sorry that this is...
all I can do.
Leave this on my desk and go home.
Shin A Jun may be his stepson, but he seems to favor him a lot.
The fact that he sent his stepson to work at Bisang Textile...
might be proof that Chung Group is trying to gain management rights.
But I heard Shin A Jun and Director Seo are like brothers.
That's too far stretched.
You never know what can happen.
Even biological brothers...
betray each other to inherit businesses.
Director Seo and Shin A Jun aren't even related by blood.
Chung Group has been buying bulks of Seorin's shares recently.
Then do you think he's planning...
to have Shin A Jun run Seorin in the long run?
The owner of Seorin might change at this rate.
Shin A Jun taking over Seorin Group?
I will never let that happen.
Due to the uncertainty of the reformation,
our stock prices keep plummeting.
And starting from the second half of last year,
our sales have been the lowest...
it has ever been.
Chairman Chung owns a lot of your shares.
Don't you think you should hold hands...
with Chairwoman Seo to protect your management rights?
You want to be a good person.
You want to be transparent.
From now I see it,
you're completely caught up in this mental vanity.
Don't think of doing anything reckless...
and just give up on trying to become the chairman.
(YJ Investment Oh Kyung Hoon)
(Director Seo Jung Min)
Hey, Kyung Hoon. How did it go?
I don't think you'll be able to get an investment.
Everyone's hesitant now that they know...
Chung Group might be out of the picture.
People think Seorin's company value will decrease even more...
and see a downgrade in credit rating.
I'm sure you were waiting for a positive answer. I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'll get through this.
How about a hedge fund?
I'll have to take the risk if worse comes to worst.
They might even try to threaten my management rights.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
I'll treat you to a drink next time.
(Resume)
(Name: Shin A Jun, Date of Birth: June 29, 1992)
(Parsons School of Design, Undergraduate Program)
(TOEIC, TOEFL, TEPS)
He went an art school?
He doesn't even have any experience. How dare he challenge the director?
Today, I'm going to take your advice and take a walk in the rain...
to organize my thoughts.
My head's about to burst.
It hurts to see you struggle so much.
Let's try to keep a smile on our faces.
You worked hard today like always.
Sorry I can't give you a ride today.
I'll do anything for you, sir.
I'm willing to do anything.
(My Woman, Lee Ji Eun)
You were going to go home without me?
I thought you would've left already.
We have lemon tea. Do you want some?
Sure.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Do I look pitiful?
No.
You look sentimental, and it gives off a sexy vibe.
A Jun must've left his cell phone behind.
I did something bad.
Ji Eun really is a workaholic.
My cell phone.
I wanted to know...
if A Jun was really involved...
in Chung Group's decision to withdraw the investment.
He forgot to take his cell phone,
and I suddenly figured I might be able to check what he's up to...
by checking his call log.
So you looked though his call log?
I know it's really rude.
But I wanted to know to stop myself from doubting him.
Gosh.
Things must be really uncomfortable with A Jun because of me.
It certainly isn't easygoing.
But the thing is, A Jun never called Chairman Chung...
during the past week.
I checked, and he never called his mother either.
But isn't it weird?
You told me that Ms. Seo...
overheard him talking to his mother yesterday...
and recorded the conversation.
How did she record anything...
if he never made a call in the first place?
He just pretended to make me get angry.
A Jun is still a 17-year-old boy.
I wonder how he feels about you.
He likes you.
But he also wants to outperform you.
In other words,
I think he wants to compete with you even though he still likes you.
He must be confused to feel two opposite emotions at once.
I'm still having a hard time trying to read what's on his mind.
I feel like he thinks he might explode...
if he doesn't do anything about the situation.
But I don't think giving him space is going to make him feel better.
What's your plan?
You need Chung Group's support...
in order to maintain the support of the board members.
I don't want to apply double standards to this issue.
I'm going to separate my business with Chung Group...
and my friendship with A Jun.
Are you going to go home? Do you want me to be with you?
I'd like to spend some time alone to organize the thoughts in my head.
Is that okay?
Gosh, I hate that kid. Why did I have to run into him?
Let's try to get her all worked up.
What an arrogant little kid.
When an adult calls you over,
you're supposed to take your hands out of your pockets...
and run over as quickly as you can.
That hand gesture is how people call for dogs.
We're not even that close.
You should keep your manners.
You want respect because you're Chairman Chung's son?
I don't acknowledge people...
who act all haughty because of their family background.
And I associate with jerks...
who betray their friends.
If you don't associate with guys like me,
then why did you call me over?
To give you a warning.
It looks like Chairman Chung sent you over...
to the joint project team to take over Seorin.
I can see right through you guys.
And I'm very good at catching people.
If I ever catch you do anything funny,
your life will get ruined.
Being an industrial spy...
could get you imprisoned for at least three years.
You must have a hobby of threatening people.
You can admit what you did or ask for forgiveness.
Which one will you do first?
I'm so scared that I might have to tell my stepdad about this.
Go ahead and tell him.
When you do business, things can get canceled...
even after coming to an agreement.
But it's basic manners to keep things confidential...
until the official announcement.
And how could you hit on someone else's woman?
On top of that, he was like a brother to you.
It's absurd that you're trying to steal your best friend's woman.
You horrible punk.
If you break a person's heart,
karma will make you shed tears of blood.
Take my word to heart.
Do you understand?
It's too late to take your word to heart.
My friendship with Jung Min is already over.
I guess stealing is a habit of hers.
That tie clip...
belongs to Jung Min.
He dropped it, so I was keeping it for him.
Is that so?
That tie clip...
used to belong to my late father.
I really don't understand why they keep accusing me...
of something that's not true.
What a habitual liar.
She's sick in the mind.
What?
Why is she looking at my resume?
Then I'll call this self-defense.
(Director Seo Jung Min)
What a crazy stalker.
(Cancellation of Chung Group's Investment!)
("Director See Jung Min’s New Project Might Become a Failure")
Where did she get this?
So you were the one who put Ms. Lee in trouble?
I did what you wanted.
You should thank me.
You asked Choi Hye Seon on the emergency stairway...
to leave the proposal on Chairwoman Seo's desk.
So you think that makes us the same people?
I'm not a crazy psycho like you are.
Aren't you crazy for wanting...
someone else's girlfriend?
I don't want to talk to a lunatic.
If you do anything to Ms. Lee,
I won't stand still.
If you do anything to Director Seo,
I'll make you regret it.
If I lose it, I can easily cross the line.
And there's no stopping me.
Jung Min will freak out once he finds out...
that you're his stalker.
You're his enemy, and I'm his loyal secretary.
Which one do you think he'll trust?
You're not an easy person to fight against, are you?
But let me tell you something.
I also don't know how to stop once I lose my sanity.
You just wait.
I'll prove that you're a psycho and reveal it to everyone.
(Resume)
(CEO Lee Ji Eun)
That's it.
I win by 63 to 59.
Let's play one more game.
I'll end up winning anyway.
Seriously? Are you provoking me?
I can run faster than you.
A Jun, come here.
Stop right there.
I never once let him beat me.
Aren't you going to give tea to your guest?
Are you here to drink tea?
The fridge is empty.
This isn't even my place.
Then at least give me water.
Get it yourself. The water purifier is over there.
Why are you so edgy today?
I'm being misunderstood because of you.
People think I was the one who told the press...
about Chung Group's investment withdrawal.
So just hold hands with me already.
Your friendship with Jung Min...
already got ruined because of Ji Eun.
Stop acting like you know me.
I just want to become friends.
If you want to beat Jung Min,
I could be your best supporter.
You need to prove yourself to secure a position in Chung Group.
And although I'm not sure why,
Chung Group still hasn't released an article to deny the suspicions.
So I'm guessing Chairman Chung has turned his back on Seorin.
If that's not it, maybe he wants to put Seorin in a crisis...
to take over the company and turn it into an affiliate.
So I started rolling my brain.
I own some of Seorin's shares.
If Chairman Chung wishes to take over Seorin,
I can support him with my shares.
And if you work as the middleman,
it'll be a great chance for you to gain your stepfather's trust.
How does my offer sound?
I thought you held hands with that viper.
She may be fighting over the chairman position with Jung Min,
but in the end, it's a family feud.
Right now, Chairwoman Seo needs my shares,
which is why she decided to hold hands with me.
But once she achieves her goal,
she'll do everything she can to get rid of me.
The house owner is here.
Shouldn't there be a limit to your atrocity?
I've been holding my anger toward you...
because of what my late father had put you through.
But it's time I put an end to this.
Chief Prosecutor Kim will be thrilled to receive...
your borrowed name bank accounts and fabricated will.
A rabbit who wishes to save its life...
is faster than a wolf that's full and satisfied.
If you do anything rash, you'll only get hurt.
Why?
Are you going to pay someone to hurt me?
I just might, so don't act up.
Stop threatening me with my weaknesses.
I guess you're scared to go to jail.
Fine. Do whatever you want.
I'll do whatever I want.
Mr. Shin, have you heard of this saying?
"It doesn't matter who starts the game."
"What matters is whom finishes it."
If you want to finish your fight with Jung Min, call me.
Are you going to continue fighting with me?
I cooked some stuff for you...
since you're working overtime today.
I fried this at home. You should try it.
Chicken drumsticks.
Thank you.
You added too much black pepper.
Here.
I used my special recipe for this. It'll taste really delicious.
Your special recipe? Let's see.
You should've added more vinegar to enhance the refreshing taste.
The sauce... Gosh, the ketchup...
Gosh, don't eat it if you're going to keep complaining.
I'm not complaining.
I'm giving you advice to help you improve your cooking skills.
My mom told me never to date a guy...
who's picky with food.
My mom told me never to marry a woman...
who steals chopsticks when you're eating...
Oh, gosh.
Did you just say "marry"?
No, I didn't.
It was a slip of the tongue. It didn't mean anything.
You know I don't want to get married.
We already agreed that this relationship...
will never turn into marriage. You remember, right?
Being in an exclusive relationship is enough for me.
Okay.
Look at how affectionate you guys are toward each other.
Let's see.
It's good... Gosh, someone already took a bite.
- Anyway... - This too. It's good though.
I envy you.
Your girlfriend cooked you food because you're working overtime.
That's why you should've picked yourself a nice girlfriend.
But what's going on?
Are you back together? Is that why you're hanging around again?
Just stay out of our relationship.
We need to work together, so we came to a middle ground.
We decided to give it some time before breaking up for good.
You guys meet every day.
So I'm sure you need time to finally accept the breakup.
It's just like how married couples...
have an adjustment period before they get divorced.
I heard you told him to sue me for false premises of marriage.
Are you serious?
Isn't it funny? It's hilarious.
I was only joking.
I honestly want things to work out for you guys.
- I'm serious. - I'm not sure.
I don't know about getting back together.
But Yeo Jin said there are manners to breaking up with someone,
and I agreed with that.
Yeo Jin and I have known each other for so many years.
And I feel like I was too unilateral.
So you chose to have a slow breakup?
Gosh, it might lead us to get back together instead.
Hey, you're all here.
I bought chicken.
You're working overtime too?
Yes, that's why I asked you to eat chicken with me.
Have you been well?
I'm not interested in becoming friends with you.
Plus, we're rivals, okay?
There's nothing going on between me and Bok Ja yet.
I told you I won't get involved until you decide to end it properly.
Here. Eat up.
What? You're giving me a wing?
Are you giving me this so I'd break up with Bok Ja?
How long do we need to sit here?
I came here because I missed you.
Well, I don't want to be here with you.
The best way to reflect on yourself is to undo your mistakes.
I want to undo my mistake so we can go back to being friends.
That's just what you want.
Jung Min.
You think I'll do this to a certain extent and stop, right?
You think that because I'm weak.
Why do you keep acting this way?
Because I hate you.
Why do you say stuff you don't mean?
Let me borrow your car. I didn't bring my car.
I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning.
Let's go to work together.
What are you doing?
What's on your mind?
You kept tossing and turning. Is something worrying you?
No, it's nothing.
Are you reminded by your late husband...
now that you're back at your old house?
I heard the anniversary of his death is coming up soon.
Young Eun told me already.
You can hold the memorial service here.
I don't want to make you, Ji Eun, and Young Eun uncomfortable.
So I'll come home late that day.
Why did you show up so late?
Why didn't you show up when I was young and beautiful?
If I showed up then, you wouldn't even have given me a glance.
Promise me something.
Promise me you'll never doubt my love no matter what happens.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
What could happen?
I'm just saying.
You never know what could happen in life.
Do you still not get it?
I've gone all in on you, Hyun Sook.
Why would I ever doubt you?
You're the last man I'll ever love.
You're the last woman I'll ever love, Hyun Sook.
(Phoenix 2020)
Please get up.
Why aren't you waking up?
That means someone purposely loosened the brakes.
It's obvious that someone tried to murder him.
Are you saying I instigated Seo Jung Min's murder?
Maybe you did this to take the director's position.
Shut your mouth! I find you extremely suspicious.
You might have to be ready for the worst-case scenario.
Excuse me! Nurse!
Jung Min! Is anyone there?
