(Episode 33)
Who could that be?
Are you expecting someone?
No, I'm not.
Let me go check.
Who is it?
Oh, right. What brings you here?
Didn't you drink a lot last night? I bought a hangover helper.
Here.
Thank you.
Why are you suddenly being formal?
Is someone in there?
No. It's just our team members might see us.
Thanks for this, Tae Yang.
I was about to shower. Can I go back inside?
Sure. Go ahead.
Gosh. Who was it?
It sounded like Seo Tae Yang.
Oh, yes. He came over to give me a hangover helper.
Why did he go out of his way to give you that?
He always takes great care of our team members.
That's no reason for him to do that.
By chance, was it Ae Ra?
Well, yes.
You should hurry back, Director Nam.
All right, Se Rin. Please excuse me.
By the way, Se Rin.
Last night...
We should...
talk about that later.
Okay. Then I'll see you later.
What's he up to? Why isn't he picking up?
Yu Jin!
Ae Ra!
Yu Jin?
You weren't inside?
Where were you?
Oh, I woke up early this morning.
So I worked out at the fitness center downstairs.
There were already a few people working out at that hour.
You rarely work out, so what suddenly got into you?
It's just that my body felt stiff.
By the way, what brings you here?
I wanted to get some morning coffee with you...
before we returned to Seoul.
- "Coffee?" Shall we? - Yes.
- Okay. Let's hurry. - Got it.
Was the business trip all right? Have you eaten?
We ate at the service station on our way back.
What about Uncle?
He went on a blind date.
Uncle's first love arranged it as an apology for something.
Is that so?
I hope he meets someone who is a good match for him this time.
Me, too. You must be tired. Head inside and rest.
Get some rest, Tae Yang.
Se Rin.
Yes? What is it, Tae Yang?
It's nothing. You've worked hard. Rest well.
Thanks. You too.
What?
Why did Director Nam come out from Se Rin's room?
No way. What am I thinking?
You don't have to see us off.
Young Ran, don't go anywhere...
and stay home.
Don't go shopping again.
Goodness, Ji Seok. You and your jokes.
Have fun at the art gallery.
We'll be back.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Mom, have you visited Gyeo Ul's family?
What did she say when you told her he couldn't come to our company?
Not at all.
She brazenly told me that he was recruited for his talent.
I couldn't believe it.
So he'll end up working there?
How will he deal with Yu Jin at work in this situation?
My gosh, just imagining it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Goodness, my head hurts.
Yu Jin probably has no idea.
If Yu Jin runs into her brother at work without any knowledge,
he'll be shocked.
I should let him know.
He's not in his room.
I think he went out.
He went out?
But he must be tired after the business trip.
Where did he go?
You're up, Director Nam.
Director Nam.
Was everything all right between you and Ae Ra this morning?
Yes.
She came to my room,
so I told her I was at the gym.
I see.
Anyway, Se Rin.
I'm so sorry...
for last night.
Don't say that. I should be sorry.
I shouldn't have invited you for wine.
I shouldn't have gotten so drunk.
But maybe I was just happy to be with you.
I didn't mean for that to happen. It was my mistake.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry, Director Nam.
You called it a mistake,
but to be honest, it was great.
The time I spent with you...
felt like a dream of a spring day.
It made me happy.
How did you feel?
Well, to be frank, I don't remember.
But it was a moment I shared with you,
so of course, it was great.
What a relief.
I was worried, actually.
I thought you'd feel burdened and begin to distance yourself...
after what happened last night.
Goodness, why would I distance myself from you?
Se Rin, you can get closer.
Much closer.
Then just as you looked for me when you were troubled,
may I rest against you at times when things get tough?
Yes, of course.
Feel free to lean on me whenever you want.
Okay?
You can smile all you want now.
Nam Yu Jin, from tomorrow, you're under my control.
I'll make your days heartrending.
(YJ Group)
Chairman Nam.
Why did you call Se Rin and Tae Yang of Planning?
I heard you two came up with the idea...
to make out-of-town visits and let people try out our products.
I received a report...
that the service received great feedback from the customers,
so I called you two for recognition.
Thank you.
But it was originally Tae Yang's idea.
Really?
Mr. Seo, you just began here,
but you already helped us with such a wonderful idea.
Good work.
But wait, Chairman Nam.
Se Rin was the one...
who had the idea to also provide medical services with the project.
He's right.
There was concern that we may seem like a circus...
if we went around just to let people try out our products.
Thanks to Se Rin's idea of providing medical services,
we added a better image for our company.
It's wonderful to see all of you commending one another.
I wondered why Planning Team always had the best performance,
and it must be your great teamwork.
I can finally see why.
Please continue to do your best for our company.
- Yes. - Yes, Chairman Nam.
(Office of the Chairman)
Tae Yang, you may return to the office.
Se Rin, may I have a word with you?
Yes, sure.
Chairman Nam rarely makes compliments.
You're something, Se Rin.
Did you want me to stay behind to tell me that?
Sorry?
Right, it's not that.
Se Rin, do you want to eat lunch together?
I made a reservation at a nice restaurant.
I'm sorry. I have another engagement.
What? Another engagement?
Yes, please excuse me.
Wait...
Goodness.
(Director's Office)
Why does she suddenly seem so cold?
Yu Jin, this is bad news.
Hey, Ae Ra. How did it go with the investors?
That's not what's important now.
Gyeo Ul's brother joined our Law Department.
What?
He said he turned it down before.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I am.
I just heard it from HR on my way here.
He even came to work today.
What?
(Law Department)
Young Jun, are you really working for my company?
Why? Is there a reason why I shouldn't work here?
I heard you turned down my grandpa's offer last time.
Why did you change your mind?
I received great help from him in becoming a lawyer,
so I wanted to pay back his favor as best as I could. Why?
Is there a problem?
That's the only reason you decided to work here?
Think of my relationship with Gyeo Ul right now.
Do you not think it'll be awkward if we run into each other like this?
You used to parade so confidently. But now, you're awkward?
Why? So you must be ashamed.
Ashamed of what?
Then mind your own business.
I thought accepting his offer was my way of showing courtesy.
Young Jun!
I'm going to focus on doing my job, so you focus on yours.
(Director's Office)
Hey, did you meet him?
Why did he accept the offer?
He said he wanted to accept my grandpa's offer...
and pay back his kindness the best he could.
I highly doubt that.
Don't you think he has ulterior motives?
I don't think he would have any other reason.
He's been quiet for the last five years.
Let's not bother with him.
Nobody knows our little secret anyway.
But it's still too annoying to keep him around.
What was Young Jun thinking when he accepted that offer?
I'd feel sick just to look at those two.
It's a big company. He won't run into them too often.
Once I find So Yi,
I'll make him quit right away.
Anyway, why am I not getting any calls from the ones...
who went out to find her?
Gil Ja, they won't call you.
They ran away.
What? How do you know that?
Actually, I told Young Jun that...
you went to a private detective.
So Young Jun went there,
but they had already packed up and left.
What?
Then what about my money?
Did I just lose all 5,000 dollars?
My goodness, what a waste.
But why on earth did you tell Young Jun about that?
I was simply worried, okay?
Anyway, don't go to such a place ever again. Got it?
You understood everything, right?
There can't be any mistakes.
Yes. Don't worry.
Hi.
Then I'll get going now.
Okay.
Ae Ra. Wasn't that Manager Mo from the Law Department?
What did you two talk about?
Oh, nothing.
I asked some questions regarding today's meeting.
Is that so? I see.
Oh, my goodness.
I've got big news.
What is it? Did something happen?
The Law Department has a new senior manager.
Apparently, he's super handsome.
Really?
It's no surprise. Director Nam's wife was a real beauty, too.
What does that have to do with the new senior manager?
Oh, I guess nobody told you.
The new senior manager is the older brother...
of Director Nam's wife.
Young Jun joined the Law Department?
Se Rin?
What was that?
Did she leave to check out his looks?
Se Rin didn't look the type,
but she must go for looks.
(Law Department)
It's really Young Jun.
- Mr. Jung. - Yes?
You know today's the team dinner, right?
Of course.
It's a team dinner and a welcome party for me, right?
You probably don't know the place, so why don't we go together?
Sure. Why not?
If Young Jun works here,
Nam Yu Jin and Ju Ae Ra will definitely harass him.
What the heck?
Se Rin hasn't gotten in touch all day long.
Se Rin. Why don't we have dinner together?
Call me once you read this text.
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
Oh, she read it.
What?
Is she leaving me on read?
Oh, she replied. I knew it.
Having dinner with you alone doesn't sit right with me.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong all of a sudden?
Darn it. But I miss her.
Oh, I know. That's a good idea.
(Planning Team Senior Manager Joo Ae Ra)
Now then, why don't we go home?
Director Nam. What brings you by at this hour?
Well, you see.
How about a team dinner?
The chairman loved the idea of the experience store...
and gave us an incentive.
A team dinner out of the blue like this?
The members could have plans already.
Why don't we postpone it?
No. Let's do it today.
The team dinner must be today.
Are you all free tonight?
- Yes. - Yes.
Yes, I'm free.
You too, right, Se Rin?
I'm sorry. I already have plans.
Then I'll head out first.
Se Rin?
All right, Director Nam. Why don't we go?
Okay, let's go.
Gosh. Ms. Seo. I fried all the chicken.
We just have to set the table.
Thank you, Uncle.
Tae Yang suddenly called about a team dinner.
If it's his company's get-together, Se Rin must be coming too, right?
No, she's not. She already has plans tonight.
I heard they were acting like strangers at work...
to prevent any misunderstandings.
I was worried I might make a mistake with Se Rin, but what a relief.
I better get going for my appointment now.
- Okay. Have a safe trip. - Okay.
Bye.
You left the menu to me, so I prepared the best ones.
Please wait for a bit.
Could we also get that?
It's perfect with beer.
Okay. It won't take long.
- I'll help, Mom. - Okay.
Here we go.
It looks good.
What do you think? Spicy, sweet, yet salty.
Perfect with beer, right?
Totally. It's delicious...
and gives me energy.
I even suggested a team dinner to have a meal with Se Rin.
Gosh, what a mess.
How frustrating.
Director Nam. Why aren't you digging in?
Are you not feeling well?
Well, you see...
I'm feeling nauseous.
Is it bad?
No, not really.
But I better head home first.
Please enjoy the team dinner. Okay?
Director Nam?
Director Nam! The bill...
Nam Yu Jin.
To even hold a team dinner just to have a meal with me.
I must be making you anxious.
Se Rin. By any chance,
did I make you angry?
No. You didn't.
Then why are you suddenly avoiding me?
Didn't you tell me you wanted to rely on me yesterday?
Please forget what I said.
What's gotten into you?
For a moment, I forgot.
Forgot that you had Ae Ra beside you.
You belong to Ae Ra. So this is wrong of me.
Se Rin?
I have to give up on you,
but it's not easy.
I'm even thinking of leaving the company.
What do you mean? You don't have to quit your job.
Don't ever quit.
If I break up with Ae Ra,
can we continue what we have?
(YJ Group)
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
But Ae Ra loves you dearly, Director Nam.
Will you be able to break up with her?
All right.
Oh, by the way, Yu Jin. What did you want to tell me?
Ae Ra.
Let's end our relationship.
What?
What are you spouting?
I misheard you just now, right?
No. You heard me correctly.
Let's break up.
I'm in love with someone else.
You what?
Yu Jin. You're just joking around me right now, aren't you?
I'm right, aren't I?
I'm sorry.
Ae Ra?
You're in love with someone else?
Who is she?
Who is that wench?
Answer me.
Answer me right now!
Who the heck is that wench? Answer me!
- Yu Jin. - What?
Didn't you have something to tell me? What was it?
Oh, right. Well...
It's just you've been doing great these days.
Gosh, that was it?
You're so silly.
Thank you for dinner.
Sure.
It's good.
Se Rin, it looked like you came home late last night.
Who were you with?
What? Oh, a friend.
A friend? Who?
Wait, your boyfriend?
No. It's a friend from my studies abroad.
I met someone whom I met abroad.
- This is insane. - What's wrong, Yeon Soo?
The new senior manager of the Law Department, Mr. Jung,
sexually harassed Manager Mo during their team dinner.
What? Sexual harassed?
Mr. Jung, how could you sexually harass her?
It's not true, Chairman Nam.
I really did not sexually harass Manager Mo.
You offered to give her a ride home,
then hugged her without consent.
I only helped her up when she got drunk and fell.
If all you did was help, why would she report you?
I really didn't do it, Chairman Nam.
I'm innocent.
Internal investigators will contact you soon,
so wait for their call.
(Office of the Chairman)
Young Jun would never do that.
The Law Department parted ways after their team dinner at 10 p.m.
There aren't any CCTVs, either.
How am I going to find evidence that he didn't do it?
I'll come back around 10 p.m. later.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
By any chance, did you come here for a delivery yesterday?
Yes, why do you ask?
There's something I must check.
May I see your dashcam videos?
I knew it. It wasn't Young Jun.
Then why did Manager Mo say that?
Yes. Don't worry.
(Staff Lounge)
- Then I'll get going now. - Okay.
Wait, was it Ju Ae Ra again?
I need to know for sure.
Someone emailed me this video.
Somebody must've found out that I framed Mr. Jung.
I told you to be careful.
Does anybody come to your mind?
No.
Anyway, you must take care of this because you put me up for it.
Otherwise, I'll spill everything during the disciplinary committee.
You can't do that.
I'll find a way out of this, so do not mention my name.
You better figure out this situation with Mr. Jung very soon.
If you don't, I don't know what I'm capable of.
(Meeting Room)
I knew it was you, Ju Ae Ra.
I thought about what you said...
again and again.
But I just can't give up on you.
Then will you ask Ae Ra to break up with you?
Well, I...
Se Rin.
Can we please keep seeing each other like this?
What?
Se Rin, a man's heart has many different rooms.
My heart has two rooms,
one for Ae Ra and one for you.
But your room keeps growing...
while the other gets smaller.
Your room is now like the penthouse on the top floor.
Director Nam.
So please, Se Rin.
Do not leave me.
Will you please keep seeing me?
I'll do anything you ask.
Please.
Se Rin, are you sure you don't have to eat?
No, I have no appetite.
But still, you should eat.
You'll get sick if you keep skipping meals.
Wait here. I'll get you some takeout food.
You should go home and eat.
Nam Yu Jin, you're the worst.
What did you say? "You have many rooms?"
If you can't do it, I'll help you and Ju Ae Ra...
break up.
I'm sorry.
I'm late, aren't I?
What's this?
Why? What is it?
An earring.
Whose earring is this?
(Woman in a Veil)
I clearly saw lipstick marks on the wine glass and the napkin.
Nam Yu Jin, are you...
Ju Ae Ra will begin to get suspicious.
Ms. Oh, why are you here?
I'll send you a phone number.
I need you to start tracking that phone number.
Ju Ae Ra.
I'll make you go even crazier then.
