(Episode 10)
I'll see Grandpa.
I rushed because I have other business too.
If I'd known your mom would disappear...
Gosh.
I wouldn't have wasted time on you.
I slept with you to mess with Ji Hwan.
- What? - Then what?
Did you think it was because I liked you?
Min Young!
Auntie!
Hello.
Darn it.
Sol. Do you know him?
Yes. When you went to look for Grandma,
I stayed at his place.
Oh, right. You did.
Thanks a lot. I owe you.
Not at all.
Is the chairman doing better?
Why do you care?
This is my aunt.
I know your aunt very well.
It's been a while.
It was a pleasure.
Why are you here?
To see Sol?
How could you leave her with just anyone?
- What? - Don't leave her with them again.
Okay, Auntie. I won't stay with them again.
Did you really come here to see me?
I missed you too.
Do you want to see my room?
No. Next time.
Come with me now.
Come with me. Come on.
Come on. I bought it for you.
Don't you know flowers aren't allowed?
Is it because there could be insects...
or viruses or something like that?
Is that it? They're all lies.
Take them outside.
- You really won't take them? - Don't call me for this again.
I won't respond anyway, just so you know.
- Bye. - If you won't allow this,
I'll call about something else.
Free up your weekend.
I have no time to free up. I'm busy.
You'll have no choice but to end up...
I was still talking.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Take this.
Give them to Doctor Baek Ju Hong.
What?
Isn't it pretty?
I took them off to get check-ups. You can wear it.
Gosh. Isn't that the one you really like?
- And you're giving that to her? - Yes.
Because she came to see me.
By the way, why are you not talking much?
She didn't talk that much since she was young.
Was she like me?
You don't talk much?
I don't. You know I'm quiet.
I see.
Sol, you must be having a fever. You're sweating.
No, I'm fine, Dad.
Of course you're fine.
You'll be just fine if you put on some cooling sheets...
and change into short sleeves.
Aren't you feeling dizzy?
Why are you keep doing that? You're making Auntie worried.
I said I'm fine.
I'll get going now.
Why don't you stay a little longer?
I have to go.
Thanks, Min Young.
Me too. Thank you, Auntie.
You'll come again, right?
Gosh, what do you think you're doing?
I guess you've been doing good.
What?
- Are you healthy? - What is this about?
I wonder if you're healthy enough to donate an organ.
Have you lost your mind while you were gone?
Take care of yourself.
You should do at least one good deed if you're brought to this world.
You're still a human.
I don't know what you're up to,
but if you're trying to cling to me again,
you should give up. That's not going to happen.
Why not?
Are you scared?
Who says I'm scared?
Don't pretend to know me again, okay?
I have nothing to do with you.
(Ham Sook Jin)
What are you talking about?
Where are you keeping that lady?
You must have hidden her in a really secretive place.
I can't find any trace of her.
That's none of your business. Just leave it.
Why the sudden change?
You know I saved you from the chairman yesterday.
On the day when you were busy looking for that lady,
I lied about your whereabouts...
by saying you were busy working so hard...
at your office.
Are you trying to get credit for doing something I didn't ask you to do?
I'm not trying to get anything,
but here's the thing.
You and I are on the same boat,
but it seems like you keep forgetting about it.
Don't you think it would be a bit annoying for me?
Gosh, you startled me.
We're on the same boat? What nonsense.
We all live on alone.
Not believing in fate doesn't make it go away.
Destiny is something hard to cut off no matter how hard one tries.
You should get out.
I was about to get out.
You're not the only one who's busy here.
I wasn't talking about this room. I want you to get out of the company...
and get out of my house.
Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?
It's not something out of the blue.
I've been watching your back for ten years,
don't you think that was more than enough?
Since you got everything out of me,
is it the time for you to get rid of me now?
Do you think I won't do anything if you ditch me like this?
I'll give you two weeks to leave.
Get the car ready.
Yes, ma'am.
That's not going to happen.
I won't leave even if you try to shovel me out.
What did that witch do that she's like this?
Is that so? Was he mistaken?
Yes. Jin Ho made a mistake.
Though he's saying that he really saw her,
the hospital says she wasn't there. So what can Ji Hwan do about it?
Ji Hwan must have gone there so excited to see her.
I feel so sorry for him.
So it wasn't her, right?
- No. - Are you sure?
Are you becoming deaf or what?
Why are you asking me again and again?
Well... I feel sorry for him too. That's why.
What about Sol?
She's fine.
- That's a relief. - It's a relief,
but all those bad things are happening to Ji Hwan all at once.
Ji Hwan must be suffering a lot.
Stop talking about Ji Hwan in front of Ju Hong.
You think I'm a fool?
Why would I talk about him?
I feel sorry for him, but I can't approve.
I've made myself clear...
saying that I can't approve of him. Don't you worry.
Mr. Nam Heung Sik went down to get X-rays taken.
Okay.
You took care of her belongings, right?
I have her shoes and clothes with me.
They will come in handy someday.
Make sure not to cause any trouble.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Nam Heung Sik is here.
Were you okay with taking the X-rays?
I don't care about taking the X-rays. Just get me out of this hospital.
Your wound is quite deep, so you should...
Where did Tae Hyung go?
He went to ask about getting me discharged,
but where did he go?
Go see Professor Jang and get everything settled.
And you, get the car ready.
I'm leaving this hospital right now.
(Prosecutor Nam Tae Hyung)
You passed the bar exam while you were in school.
You're getting into politics at an early age.
It seems that you and I have a lot in common.
I have a lot to learn, sir.
Well, in my case,
being the party representative is the furthest I can go.
But you should become the president someday.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, right. Before you resign,
don't forget to make some friends who you can trust in the prosecution.
Politics are all about people and the organization.
I've made enough friends...
whom I can trust throughout the prosecution.
- Mr. Jung. - Yes?
Let's go grab some drinks later.
With me?
Why? Are you busy?
I'm not busy.
This never happened before,
but you're asking me on the day you're leaving.
So I was just startled.
Of course this never happened before.
I am going to ask you...
if you would like to work with me out of this office.
I see.
Well, I'll take care of this document regarding confiscated goods first.
He's a bit sullen, but he surely knows how to deal with things.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I asked you where we'll go on this weekend.
Well...
You know, we were going to go to Namsan that day.
I see. Namsan...
Sol will be discharged the day after tomorrow at the latest,
so give up on making excuses with Sol.
It can be Namsan, or I'd like to have tteokbokki.
Gosh.
You shouldn't be taking your time like that.
You should be gathering your senses...
because I'm quite popular these days.
Don't laugh like that. So where are we going?
Sol, what are you doing?
Don't wear something comfortable, but wear something cool today.
I was just going to wear anything I get my hands on.
If you wear anything, it makes you nobody.
- Is that so? - You should put up your hair too.
Put up my hair?
Yes. Put up about half of your hair.
I was going to go out as I usually do.
Just listen to me, please.
Please doll up before you go out.
This might look too fancy.
- Hello? - Hey. You're home, right?
I'll be there in 30 minutes.
I said I'm busy today.
I was about to leave now.
Do whatever you want. I'm going out anyway.
You've seen the preview.
So you need to see the feature presentation as well.
Cancel your plans and wait for me.
I can't cancel them. Bye.
I chose you.
And I chose someone too. Woo Ji Hwan.
Watch it.
I said it would be different this time.
I have to go. Bye.
How dare the likes of Ji Hwan date Ju Hong?
Hello?
Yes, I'm Nam Tae Hyung. Who's this?
Who?
You did what?
It was just the nursing home.
The one I said I saw your mom at.
You promised you wouldn't snoop around my PC again.
I did.
But it's just not right.
I really had good intentions. I just wanted to check.
I haven't snooped in a long time.
- Jin Ho. - I made you...
drive all over the place and got you stressed out.
I had to do something.
Do you know what I found out?
Kim Jung Im first came to the nursing home...
around the time your mom went missing.
It must be a coincidence.
It's not a coincidence. There's definitely something to it.
I thought so too,
but there isn't. Forget about it.
Then let's both go and meet this Kim Jung Im.
I only believe what I see. I won't believe anything until then.
I saw her myself.
Even so.
I saw her.
It wasn't someone else. I saw her myself.
I see why you got confused.
I'm fine, so let it go.
I can't have been possessed or something.
I keep having a feeling that we're being duped.
Will the party nominate him right away?
Tae Hyung made a good impression as a smart young man...
with clear political conviction.
He played a big role in revamping the party's image.
Is there a good chance he'll be elected?
Yes. I think he'll get nominated to represent a constituency.
Are you out of your mind? How dare you keep calling me?
You said you'd leave that woman with us until she died.
First you smuggled her away and then you cut off all support?
Isn't that the natural step?
Would this have happened if you'd watched her closely?
Where is that woman?
Watch your place. Bye.
Do you want me to talk?
Keep quiet and lie low.
Or I'll have you fired too.
Ju Hong?
Yes. I guess she plans to come home really late.
She put up a notice saying the restaurant's closed temporarily.
I thought you'd do as I told...
and buy me tteokbokki from a street stall.
This is a step up, I guess.
You like the tteokbokki here.
When did I say I like it?
I love it.
Do you remember when we were 21 or 22?
We ate tteokbokki so often...
that we both got fat chins and bellies.
Did we?
You're pretending you forgot?
I know that you remember.
It looks delicious.
I'll eat it all even if it's spicy.
Let's eat.
Let's date.
I'm here to confess my love.
I like you.
I want to date the guy I like.
Well, Ju Hong...
I...
No, don't answer.
So...
I'd rather you answer after we're done eating.
After we finish the rice too.
If you drink all the water in this cup, it's a yes.
If not, it's a no.
- Ju Hong. - I'll enjoy the tteokbokki first.
Come on.
Eat first and worry later.
My goodness.
Mr. Nam, the prosecutor.
You stole away the serial killer that day.
One call was all it took to make you come running.
You're so quick.
You're really something.
What are you up to?
You're a civil servant.
Someone else did the hard work, and you took the credit.
I didn't take the credit.
If I were to expose what actually happened,
reporters would swarm us. Would you be okay with that?
But then these days, I don't even have to see a reporter.
So many people are offering me a payout...
for my dashcam footage.
I'm a prosecutor,
and I apprehended a criminal. So what?
What will you expose?
You should know what I'm talking about!
Am I your friend? Get to the point.
Watch yourself...
unless you want to go to prison for blackmail.
Do you get it?
I was going to just let it go.
But you got a little too much from the deal.
You became a star and even got into politics.
Can't you share a bit of the glory with me?
Song Jin Tae, aged 42,
drove a taxi for 11 years.
You've been getting into fender-benders frequently in the last five years.
You get into fake car accidents, get a doctor's note...
and defraud insurance companies.
Shall I charge you for every case that happened in the past five years?
Did you...
look me up?
Be extra careful so we don't cross paths again.
I mean what I say,
so heed that advice.
The motorcyclist. Did he not complain?
You know,
the guy who really caught the killer.
The brave citizen.
The school bully in my year asked me out in middle school.
I turned him down.
For you.
When I was in med school,
a handsome hospital director's son...
asked me out.
When I was an intern in the ER,
a rich lady told me...
she wanted me to marry her son.
But I turned down all those offers.
Because of stupid Woo Ji Hwan who wouldn't even look at me...
however hard I tried to make him.
I meant to make you smile.
I was going to say that even at a time like this,
only I'm able to make you smile.
It didn't work.
Ju Hong.
You know...
- I'm sorry but... - No, don't.
Don't answer.
I don't think today's the day.
I'm not ready. Let's do this some other time.
(Snacks)
Sorry.
I suddenly remembered I have something to do.
I have to hurry.
I really enjoyed dinner. Bye.
I like you.
I want to date the guy I like.
I said I'm okay with it.
I just want him to look at me. I didn't want him to worry about me.
I said I can't be without him.
What's there for him to be sorry about?
Gosh, then why did he come to see me today?
He knew this would happen.
Ji Hwan.
About Sol...
I won't be able to tell you about her.
I won't be able to do that until I die.
It doesn't matter to me.
Sol is important to me as well.
I'll have to spend...
most of my future looking for my mom...
and raising Sol.
I know, and I will do that too.
I'm sorry because that's who I am.
And there will be a lot of times I would feel sorry for you.
But if that's okay with you,
I'd like to be...
with you, Ju Hong.
You mean it, right? You're not joking?
You're accepting my feelings for you, right?
No, I'm not.
- What? - I am...
confessing my feelings to you.
Hold on.
On April 23, 2022, 8:44 p.m.,
we confessed our feelings for each other.
Someone saw my mother here.
- It was definitely... - They were mistaken.
There's no such person here.
I'd like to know if she saw this woman.
My mom is completely paralyzed.
She can't even open her eyes.
Why are they together?
Wait!
Isn't she coming?
Don't worry. We'll come to a conclusion today.
Excuse me.
Both of you know who I am, right?
What brings you here?
Ms. Ham?
Aren't you Ms. Ham Sook Jin?
(The Secret House)
Min Young, do you know anything about Sol's mother?
Mr. Nam resigned.
- He resigned? - My gosh!
- Pick up. This is important. - My goodness.
You could've been in trouble if it weren't for me today.
I've never done anything that would get me into trouble.
Why would I be in trouble?
Mr. Nam did?
He said he had something to talk about.
Should I tell the chairman...
that I know about it?
Or should I tell the lawyer of the seolleongtang place?
