Welcome home, sir.
Here. I got you some roasted chestnuts.
Oh, Ms. An.
Where's Se Jun?
Since he's taking time off,
I think he's catching up on his sleep, sir.
He hasn't come out of his room all day.
Shall I wake him up?
Leave him be.
I want him to do as he wants at least when he's home.
His mom nags him all the time, so he can't even relax and rest.
See if the competition result has been announced.
Yes, it has, sir.
The result didn't change. Ms. Lee Yeong I placed first.
You must've bought these at a nearby place.
The roasted chestnuts are still warm.
Why don't you join me and have some?
It's not fun to eat alone.
Kyung Jun...
came home drunk last night.
I see.
He seemed upset because of Baby Chick's situation.
I mean, he decided to date her...
while knowing well about her circumstances.
I wonder what hurt his feelings.
Yeong I...
got slapped in the face.
What did you just say?
My children and I...
have been attending...
Yeong I's late husband's memorial ceremony every year.
Yesterday, Ms. Kim Hae Mi's mother...
found out about Kyung Jun and Yeong I and came.
While yelling at Yeong I in front of her family,
she hit Yeong I in the face.
How absurd.
Maybe Kyung Jun...
found out about it somehow.
This is serious. I should...
I should step in and put this to an end.
If I don't do anything about it, those sweet kids...
will probably go through something even worse. My gosh.
Lee Yeong I, the first place.
Jang Kyung Jun, the third place.
I'm impressed. The interns of my team are amazing.
("DG Distribution Launches Holiday Lunchbox for One-person Households")
What...
is this?
DG Distribution?
(TS Retail dreams of a bigger world with limitless potential.)
("DG Distribution Launches Holiday Lunchbox for One-person Households")
(Vice President Cha Yoon Hee)
Was this it?
The way to drag Yeong I down?
("DG Distribution Launches Holiday Lunchbox for One-person Households")
(It wasn't easy to make out a menu for a lunchbox for weight loss.)
(DG Stop will start selling holiday lunchboxes on the ninth.)
I didn't know Hae Mi could be so spiteful.
She could even destroy me if she sets her mind to it.
Did you read the article about DG Distribution's new lunchbox?
Yes, I just read it.
How did that happen?
Is this what Ms. Kim meant when she said she'd take care of Yeong I?
Did she hand over Yeong I's proposal...
to our competitor to disqualify Yeong I from the competition?
I think that's the case.
We should still confirm the truth with her though.
It's important to kick Yeong I out of the company,
but this is bad for our company.
She pushed ahead on her own without discussing with us.
Ms. Kim is more daring than she seems.
Have your secretary call Ms. Kim in here.
No. I'll go to her office.
Gosh. It was a good idea. What a waste.
Yeong I.
Will you treat us to dinner today to celebrate your win?
Today's team dinner is on me.
The intern of our team placed first.
I want to celebrate with you all.
You don't mind, do you, Yeong I?
Pardon? Well... Actually,
I'm having dinner with my family today.
I'm sorry, but we'll have to do it some other time.
Oh, I see. That's a shame.
Ms. Im. What are you thinking about?
Ms. Im, Kyung Jun just asked you if everything was okay with you.
Sorry? Oh, sorry. Of course, I'm fine.
(Food Product Development Team)
Se Jun.
Did you see the article about DG Distribution too?
Yes, I did. Your dad was just informed too.
By the way, do you know anything about it?
No. I came out as soon as I saw the article.
I see.
Then let's go in.
- Oh, my. - Hello.
Ms. Cha, hello.
Director Jang, you're here too.
Ms. Kim, didn't you see the article about DG Distribution?
I sent you the link on my way. Didn't you check it?
What article are you talking about?
Check it right now.
Yes, sir.
What's the matter, Director Jang?
DG Distribution...
launched the same lunchbox as Yeong I's proposal...
before even we had a chance to launch it.
What?
No way. How can it be exactly the same as hers?
I'm sorry, Ms. Cha.
I should've checked the article right when Director Jang sent me.
But I have no idea how something like this could happen.
Ms. Lee, how did this happen?
Why was your lunchbox...
that was chosen as the best in the second competition...
launched by DG Distribution? How come it's exactly the same?
I read the article just now like everyone else on our team.
I have nothing to do with this, Ms. Cha.
It happened without you knowing when you made the proposal.
Did you hand your proposal over to DG Distribution...
because you were not sure you could get a permanent position?
Pardon?
Why? Did they offer you...
a permanent position at that company in return for your proposal?
Ms. Cha.
Why are you accusing Yeong I of handing it over?
Everyone here including Ms. Kim just saw the article.
Yeong I really had no idea.
What if she was pretending she didn't know?
Don't blindly side with her because she's your work colleague.
Who knows? Maybe she suggested her idea to both companies...
to get a better offer.
The worst-case scenario is that she copied their proposal.
In any case, we must get to the bottom of this.
I can assure you that's not the case.
I watched her come up with the idea and develop it...
throughout the whole time.
Please do not wrongfully accuse her.
Ms. Cha.
They all seem flustered as well.
Let's leave it at this.
I'll look into what happened.
No.
It's a serious matter.
The internal investigation unit of our company will look into it.
They'll conduct an internal investigation?
That's what they do when things like this happen.
If you feel wronged,
tell the truth while being investigated.
Wouldn't it be better for you as well?
An internal investigation?
Yeong I, you really have nothing to do with it, right?
To be honest, it doesn't seem like a coincidence.
The timing is too perfect.
Trust me. I have nothing to do with it.
You should've rested at home since you were taking time off.
Why did you come to the office?
Did you think there was no one here to handle this?
I had to come since someone on my team was involved.
Were you worried I might fire her while you were gone?
Your grandfather told me and your dad to leave her alone.
Your dad and I...
decided not to get involved in anything regarding Yeong I.
We wanted to fire her, but things didn't go as we wanted.
But this isn't something we can just let slide.
And honestly, it's hard not to suspect Yeong I.
They won't find any fault with her through an investigation.
She's not that kind of person.
And I trust my employee.
Hello?
This is the private detective agency.
My client keeps calling me to ask to see me.
What do you want me to do?
I'll call you back in ten minutes.
It was someone from our supplier.
They even got my phone number to pester me.
Se Jun.
- Yes? - Since you took a leave of absence,
how about you go on a trip overseas? Like Japan, for example. It's close.
A trip?
Because you stayed at home,
you ended up coming to the office.
You couldn't even have a good rest.
I'll prepare everything for your trip...
so you can leave later in the evening.
I'll think about it.
Please come with us, Ms. Lee.
Wait.
Can I talk to her briefly?
Come to our office right away.
I'll do that.
(Food Product Development Team)
Don't worry too much.
We all know that you're innocent. Also...
I'll make sure you won't be held responsible for what you didn't do.
I'll see you later.
How did DG Distribution, of all companies,
launch exactly the same product before we do?
Are you suspicious of Yeong I like Ms. Cha?
Of course, I don't think Yeong I did...
what Ms. Cha said she might've done.
And... Well, this is a personal matter,
but even when Yeong I and I had issues,
she held out to the end, didn't she?
There's no way she did such a thing.
Ms. Kim, do you know anyone who works at DG Distribution?
Even your friends from college would do.
I want to find out who submitted the proposal.
I can't think of anyone I know who works there.
But even if there's anyone I know,
he or she wouldn't tell me that.
Still, we might have a chance.
I'll see what I can do, Kyung Jun.
Yes.
Thank you. Please make sure to look into it.
Let's get back to work now. We should remain calm.
Nothing has been decided yet.
This is absolutely unbelievable.
I know all lunchboxes are similar to one another,
but this one is identical to Yeong I's.
My point exactly.
It looks as if someone had leaked the proposal intentionally.
Ms. Im.
In order to put Yeong I in trouble.
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
I'm back, Mom.
Hey.
How did it go?
What did Chang Yi say?
I shouldn't have gone to see him.
He said he was upset too.
He complained that we didn't tell him...
about Yeong I dating the guy.
Did you two have a fight?
That brat.
I knew Hwa Kyung was upset.
But I didn't expect Chang Yi to put it that way.
He didn't even try to understand how I felt...
when I decided to go see him.
"Emotional exhaustion?" That punk.
I wish he hadn't gone to see Chang Yi.
He only ended up arguing with his little brother.
Tell me. What is Baby Chick doing now?
She's probably being investigated.
She's being investigated?
I bet someone is behind all this.
Someone who wants...
to stop Baby Chick from getting a permanent position.
It must be one of them.
Shall I look into it?
No. Leave it.
Truth always reveals itself.
Let's see what they do for a little longer.
It's from Kyung Jun.
Help him get what he needs.
But you must help him...
within your power without my help.
Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee, while preparing for the second competition,
did you meet anyone from DG Distribution?
No, I didn't.
Didn't they ask you to hand over your proposal...
or offer you a reward for your proposal?
Are you sure you didn't get such an offer?
Nothing like that happened.
Why would I do that?
Getting a permanent position at this company...
was my only dream and goal.
And of course, it still is.
Besides, if I was going to give it to our competitor,
I wouldn't have turned in the same proposal to the competition.
Since there was no guarantee you'll get a permanent position,
you might have.
No. I never...
even thought of handing over my proposal to another company.
Not even once.
It could be the other way around.
In order to place first in the competition,
you might have gotten the proposal of DG Distribution's new product...
and copied it. We can't exclude that possibility.
How could I have copied...
another company's new product when I'm a mere intern?
We'll check all your phone records and emails.
We'll find out if you're telling the truth,
very soon.
The investigation is only a simple procedure. Don't worry.
I'm not worried.
Because I know she has a clear conscience.
What I want to know is the truth.
Soo Wan.
Can you find out who submitted the same proposal as Yeong I's...
and how they launched their new product for me?
I don't think...
this is a coincidence.
Do you assume that someone planned this?
Whether someone here leaked it or someone there stole it,
I believe that someone did it on purpose.
Listen, Kyung Jun.
This might lead to a legal issue between the companies.
Do you think you can handle that?
I'll try my best.
And...
if I need greater power to handle it,
I'm going to get that power by any means necessary.
Get the information as soon as possible.
I have other things to look into.
Kyung Jun.
Has your relationship with Ms. Lee changed?
Yes, Soo Wan.
Yeong I is now the person I want to keep safe.
(Food Product Development Team)
Ms. Kim.
Where are you going?
Well... To the HR team office.
Nothing like this has happened before.
I'll find out what would happen to Yeong I's score...
because I'm worried.
Good. When is the HR announcement about the full-time employment?
Unless there's a sudden change, it'll be announced in two days.
Did you find anyone you know at DG Distribution?
Oh, that. I asked around,
but there's no one I can contact at that company.
We don't have much time.
Thank you anyway.
Wait, Kyung Jun.
I'd like to give you a piece of advice.
You stepping in like this...
won't be helpful for Yeong I.
No. You'll only make the situation worse.
Think about how you behaved earlier in front of Ms. Cha.
You blindly sided with Yeong I without knowing anything.
You're working here to learn how to run this company.
If all you care about is Yeong I,
would your parents be happy about it?
Yeong I would rather fall out of their favor.
Are you saying I should sit back and do nothing?
When Yeong I is wrongfully accused and being investigated?
I'll believe your worries about me are genuine.
But...
I need to find out the truth.
See you later.
The more you seem to care about Yeong I,
the more I want to take this to the end.
Whatever I can take away from her,
I'll take all of those away from her.
I appreciate your effort to get Yeong I fired,
but what you did caused our company damage too.
I didn't know you were this reckless.
I'm sorry.
I'll take responsibility for the damage if there's any.
But it was the only way I could think of.
You'll take responsibility?
What can you do to take responsibility?
You mean, you'll resign...
if you get caught?
Your resignation wouldn't do.
You could also be legally punished.
Would you still be okay with it?
You even drag us into this mess.
I can't believe you didn't think it through.
Then...
what should I have done?
Kyung Jun and Yeong I...
would have been glued together at work just as they do now,
and their relationship would've gotten deeper.
Should I have just watched it despite the anxiety?
Even so,
what you did was too irrational.
It was wrong of you to do it,
but we'll keep it a secret.
Act normally.
You may leave now.
Maybe firing Yeong I won't be enough to break them up.
Even Dad stepped up to tell us to respect Kyung Jun's decision.
Gosh. This is giving me a headache.
You should persuade Father.
You agreed to do so.
You know how stubborn he is.
If I fail to persuade him, I'll stand firm too.
My son's future is on the line.
Don't mention it. Treat me to a meal sometime.
Okay. Bye.
(Normal Recording)
To whom should I give this audio file?
It might turn the company upside down.
(Internal Investigation Unit)
It must've been hard, Yeong I.
You're tired, aren't you?
They assumed that I did what I didn't do...
and cornered me.
I was so frustrated that I felt like I was going crazy.
What happens to me now?
Don't worry.
I won't let anything happen to you.
How would you do that?
You should go home and rest today.
Let's get going.
I was worried when I saw you gobbling down jjajangmyeon.
I knew you'd get an upset stomach.
Hey, tap me harder than that.
I'm afraid it might hurt.
This won't do. I'll go and pick up some digestive pills for you.
Wait, Do Sik. I'll go to the pharmacy.
But you have an upset stomach.
Stay here. I'll be right back.
No, wait.
Watch the cafe instead.
I'll go.
But...
- We have no more appointments? - That's right.
Then let's get ready to go home.
Yes, Doctor Kang.
I'll buy a lottery ticket.
Why are you buying a lottery ticket?
I'll tell you only.
I had a dream of a pig. And I saw 2 pigs, not just 1.
If I get lucky, I might win both the 1st and 2nd prizes.
They say a dream of a pig is a good dream.
Do you want to buy some lottery tickets too?
Let's buy some at the same place,
and the person who wins the lottery will give the other half the prize.
- Would you really share the prize? - Of course.
I would never lie to you, you know.
Let's go together, okay?
(Eun Ho Pediatric Clinic)
Oh, yes. I'm so excited.
Please let me win the first prize.
They're the bereaved family.
And they're living a wealthy life in the US.
There seems to be nothing more to dig into.
So I'll wash my hands off it now.
His children are this old?
No. He seemed...
only a few years older than me.
Even a shopping spree didn't help me calm my anger.
Gosh. Why is this sofa so uncomfortable?
Whatever. I'll just get a new one.
(Branch Manager Kim Chang Yi)
What now?
I wasn't joking.
Go to Chang Il's house after work and deliver my message to them.
You lashed out at Chang Il.
Wasn't that enough?
I've known him for years.
He doesn't even have the guts to tell his family about it.
Go there and get it sorted out once and for all.
Make Yeong I promise...
that she'll never see Kyung Jun again.
- Sir. - What is it?
People from the head office came for an inspection.
They'll start right after business hours.
We were never informed of this.
I know. They showed up unannounced.
Tell everyone to cooperate with them and to be on standby.
Understood, sir.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
Chairman Jang once said...
that a large company has waves like the ocean.
He told me not to be a grain of sand that's swept away by waves,
but a solid rock.
We all know that she's innocent.
The problem is to find out who framed her...
and find the evidence.
Assistant Manager Kim Kyu Young submitted the proposal suddenly.
She went to the same university as Manager Kim Hae Mi.
Where should I go to find out who was sent here six years ago...
as a public health doctor?
I'm going to face the truth head-on.
I know it's too late, but I'll start now.
I'm afraid, but I'll choose that path.
