(Episode 42)
Mom.
Wake up, Mom!
Mom!
Mom?
What happened to her?
I don't know. She had already fainted when I came.
Mom!
Is this 911?
A person has lost consciousness. Please send an ambulance. Yes.
Gil Ja!
What happened, Young Jun? Is Gil Ja all right?
Yes.
It was a temporary shock from low blood pressure.
She's fine now.
Thank goodness.
Aren't you...
Hello.
Do you know her?
So that scarf from yesterday belonged to you.
Yes. The owner washed my scarf,
so I went to get it.
By the way, Se Rin.
Why did you call my mom "Mom" earlier?
Oh, it was an unconscious slip of the tongue...
from the sudden shock.
It was a slip of the tongue?
Yes.
Well then, I'll take my leave now.
Okay.
Young Jun didn't sense anything, did he?
Anyway, I hope nothing is wrong with Mom.
Mom.
Wake up, Mom!
She was too shocked and blurted it out unconsciously?
Gil Ja. Are you all right? Have you come around?
Mal Ja. Young Jun.
Where am I?
Mom. You're at the hospital.
Are you okay?
Why do you suddenly want to have lunch with Mother?
I lost a lot of brownie points from her because of Se Rin these days.
I should make up for it.
I see.
Since we're on the topic, Yu Jin,
what's Mother's current interest?
My mom's primary concern is Yu Ri.
Her goal is to somehow make Yu Ri a permanent worker,
get her promoted to senior manager or manager,
and have her marry into a fine family.
Is that so?
- Yu Jin. - Oh, my.
Mother.
Yu Jin.
I thought you wanted to eat lunch with me alone.
Well...
Ae Ra hasn't eaten either, so I invited her too.
Then you two can go ahead.
I get sick when I eat with someone I'm uncomfortable with.
Wait, Mom. Don't be like that.
You're already here, so stay for lunch.
Yes, Mother. I made a reservation at your favorite restaurant.
Please join us.
(Yeojung Group Applies for a Patent for Medical Acupressure Bed)
This is...
Our research and development team has been developing this...
as a top secret project.
So how can Yeojung Group apply for a patent first?
Only our lab and the Law Department...
has knowledge of this technology.
Our department keeps all files locked...
only for the members of our department to see.
It's impossible to leak those files.
So you're saying there is no possible way the leak...
began from your department?
No. Why don't you have a talk with the lab first?
I already told the lab...
to see if there was a possibility of a leak.
Just in case,
please check with the Law Department too.
Yes, sir.
(Law Department)
Our department couldn't have leaked that technology.
Where is she?
- Ms. Nam Yu Ri's phone... - Why haven't you paid me yet?
Do you know how hard it was to sort through those files?
Hello?
(Law Department)
Smells like flowers
Ms. Nam, are you out of your mind?
How can you leak out company files?
What you did just cost us many years of hard work.
Well, that's not it.
Why do you think it's my fault the files leaked?
He said he wouldn't tell anybody that he sorted out the files.
Ms. Nam!
Yes, Chairman Nam.
Yes, I'll meet with the staff at Yeojung Group.
Yes, sir.
I have to go patch up what you got us into,
so we'll talk again later.
What am I going to do?
Gosh, this is bad.
Are you insane?
How can you give out our confidential files?
I had no idea it was confidential.
Is that technology so important?
Goodness.
We spent two years working on that technology.
If we had patented that,
we would've become the top in our industry,
Father was looking forward to that happening.
Anyway, does the chairman...
or the honorary chairman know you did this?
No, only Gyeo Ul's brother knows.
I don't think he's told Dad yet.
Your dad cannot find out about this.
Yu Jin, do whatever it takes to stop him from finding out.
Goodness.
You're not my sister, but my sworn enemy.
That hurts.
Goodness. This is troublesome.
It's so troublesome!
(Senior Manager Tak Seung Ho)
What do you mean, Yeojung stole your technology?
What's your ground for this accusation?
We worked for the last two years in an attempt to combine...
acupressure beds with medical technology.
Yeojung Group doesn't have any acupressure technologies,
so you cannot have managed to do this in a short period.
You probably didn't know,
but we've been conducting top secret research for a while.
You've been conducting research?
Yeojung Group doesn't have a research lab.
We have a lab overseas. So?
Is there a problem?
If you continue to blindly accuse Yeojung Group...
of unethically stealing another company's technology,
we will take legal measures.
Please leave.
I heard you were paid by Ms. Nam...
to sort through our files.
Did you really just sort through them?
Yes, I classified them by technology and made a report for her.
Why do you ask?
One of the files was related to a patent we've been preparing,
and it looks like Yeojung Group got ahold of it.
By any chance, did you...
What?
Do you think I'm an industrial spy who sells these files for money?
If that is the case,
you need to tell me now before things go out of hand.
I didn't do that.
I don't even know where Yeojung Group is.
What do you take me for? You don't even have evidence.
Goodness.
What happened?
I looked up the bank account you asked me to,
but there was no history of a deposit from Yeojung Group.
Really? Thanks.
I'll visit you at the Prosecutors' Office soon.
Bye.
Excuse me, where is the man who was with you?
Why do you ask?
When he came by a few days ago,
he left this here.
"T, S, H."
If you continue to blindly accuse Yeojung Group...
of unethically stealing another company's technology,
we will take legal measures.
Please leave.
These are the initials of Yeojung's senior manager...
of Planning and Development.
So they did meet.
Do you have CCTV here?
We do,
but they're only for show.
After my investigation,
I concluded that Yeojung Group stole our technology.
I knew it.
Then what should we do next?
The man who leaked the files will see someone from Yeojung again.
We have to catch them while they're meeting,
so we should keep an eye on their whereabouts for a while.
Please do that, Mr. Jung.
You must catch them.
Yes, sir.
Anyway, you said someone outside leaked the file,
but how did he get it anyway?
Well...
Chairman Nam, our priority is to find evidence first.
We can discuss this again after everything is resolved.
What happened?
Was it really Yu Ri's fault?
Yes, the guy she hired...
sold the files to Yeojung Group.
I see.
So Chairman Nam has no idea that everything happened...
because of Yu Ri?
No, but he'll find out soon.
What's she going to do? She'll be fired once he finds out.
All we have to do is resolve the incident...
without exposing Yu Ri, right?
Yes, I'll find a way to persuade Mr. Jung...
not to tell my dad.
I see.
I already said I didn't want to see anyone from YJ Group again.
Sure.
The technology Yeojung applied for a patent...
was stolen from YJ Group, right?
What?
Didn't you hear that we'd take legal measures...
if you said that again?
Legal measures?
"T, S, H."
Tak Seung Ho. These are your initials.
There are plenty of people with the same initials.
It's not mine.
I see. So that's how you're going to play?
Here, take it.
What are you trying to do?
Take the call, will you?
Hello?
Daddy!
Da Eun.
Where are you right now?
Da Eun?
What are you planning to do to Da Eun?
Who knows?
It's up to you whether I will or will not do something to her.
If you want to stop me,
cancel the patent application this instant.
Got it?
Ms. Ju. Coming here at this hour without notice...
is bad manners, no?
I came with news about Yu Ri's matter.
Ae Ra. What do you mean by "Yu Ri's matter?"
What is it?
I met with the senior manager of Yeojung Group's Planning earlier...
and got his confession that he stole our technology.
Really?
Yes, Mr. Jung?
Yeojung Group withdrew the patent application just now?
Got it.
Ae Ra. You really did it, didn't you?
Was that why you asked me to get the fountain pen from Mr. Jung?
That's right.
Mother. Everything has been settled, so rest assured.
Gosh, Ms. Ju. My goodness.
I can't thank you enough.
Thank you, Ms. Ju.
No. I mean Ae Ra.
Yu Ri. If you get stuck on anything at work,
- ask for my help. - I will.
Mother.
I'll make sure Yu Ri becomes a permanent employee...
one way or another.
Leave her to me.
I really appreciate it, Ms. Ju.
- Ae Ra. - Goodness.
You're gorgeous.
Here you go.
Ta-da!
Gosh, it's everything that I like!
A rabbit! There's even a rabbit!
Tae Yang. Did you prepare all of these?
Yes. I did some research and made them this morning.
Here, try it.
Okay. Thanks. I'll enjoy it.
You sure are digging in, Ha Neul.
By the way, Tae Yang.
Can you really miss your plans?
Yes. It's my acquaintance's wedding.
I just sent him congratulatory money.
Having a picnic with the two of you feels nice.
- I'm sorry. - Se Rin, are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine.
Gosh. Is it someone's birthday today?
But wait. It's no one's birthday today.
Well, Ae Ra...
It's been a while since Ms. Ju last came over.
So I made some this and that.
Oh, right.
Father.
Ms. Ju helped Yu Ri adjust to the company.
So Yu Ri invited her over.
That's right, Grandpa.
I got a lot of support from Ae Ra and became close to her.
We decided to become sister-like friends.
Grandpa.
Everyone's hungry. Why don't we start eating?
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
Oh, gosh. You sure can jump high.
- Jump higher. - One more time?
- One, two, three. - Two, three.
Jump!
- Ha Neul. Did you have fun today? - It was super fun.
I want to have another picnic with you and Se Rin.
Okay. Let's come again next time.
- Give me a minute. - Sure.
Mom, I'll carry it.
No, don't. It's too heavy for you.
- You're so stubborn. Give it to me. - Fine.
What did you buy? There's so much in here.
Didn't you want to eat dumplings?
I'll add loads of kimchi and make them really delicious.
To eat your dumplings forever,
I should stick to you and never get married.
Gosh. You won't get married just for dumplings?
Se Rin.
- Yes? - Let's go.
Tae Yang. Go home with Ha Neul first.
I have somewhere to stop by.
Ha Neul. Head home with Tae Yang first.
Okay, Se Rin.
Se Rin. Thank you.
I was saved, thanks to you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm glad that you'll get discharged soon.
Oh, right. Se Rin.
What kind of food do you like?
I'll treat you to some good food once I get discharged.
I like dumplings.
My gosh. Really?
That's the same as my daughter.
Your daughter must like dumplings.
Yes, she does.
But she can't have her favorite dumplings...
due to some circumstances right now.
Oh, my. I'm being so silly.
Anyway, let me make dumplings for you.
You see, I'm good at making them.
I see. I want to try them.
The dumplings made by you.
Before I forget, I bought some bean songpyeon.
You like them, right?
I do.
Oh, hey. You're here, Young Jun.
- Hi, Mom. - Hi.
What brings you here, Se Rin?
I came to visit my friend. She got admitted to this hospital.
That's when I recalled her and stopped by.
Is that so?
How did you know my mom liked bean songpyeon?
Oh, you see. It's my favorite.
So I bought them.
Is that so?
You can rarely find bean songpyeon these days.
Thank you.
Then I'll take my leave now.
Take care of yourself, okay?
I will. Thank you.
She has great manners and is very friendly.
It's like I'm talking to Gyeo Ul.
Hello?
What?
I was at the department store and saw it.
It reminded me of you, so I bought it.
Gosh, you didn't have to.
You could've come empty-handed, just like a guest.
Young Ran. Ms. Ju is a guest.
We've known Ae Ra for years now.
Isn't she more like family now?
No, she's not. She hasn't joined our family.
Gyeo Ul is our family right now.
Ji Seok.
I'm sure Young Ran didn't say it with such an intention.
That's not true.
Honestly speaking, haven't we spent much more time...
with Ms. Ju than with Gyeo Ul?
Just look at them.
Don't they look like a married couple, sitting there together?
Young Ran. What on earth are you saying?
Gyeo Ul is still alive.
Didn't I tell you multiple times not to say such a thing?
Yes, Young Jun.
What is it?
What?
What happened to her?
The doctor said...
she was in shock due to acute pneumonia.
Acute pneumonia?
Why does Gyeo Ul suddenly have acute pneumonia?
I heard it could happen...
to vegetated people because of their low immunity levels.
I hope it wasn't life-threatening.
No, you won't have to worry.
She'll wake up again soon.
You're right. Gyeo Ul will wake up.
Right, Gyeo Ul?
So?
Gyeo Ul is fine?
Yes.
She's on a respirator, but her life isn't in danger.
All right. Bye.
Young Ran, what are you talking about?
Gyeo Ul is still alive!
I told you time and time again not to say something like that!
Jung Gyeo Ul.
Just how much longer will he ask for Jung Gyeo Ul?
Ms. Seo, what are you eating?
I'm not eating this. I stuck it in my mouth.
Se Rin brought it as a gift.
My skin felt dry recently, so I've been taking it.
I see. That's why your skin was...
so glowing and soft lately.
- Hey. - Goodness.
- How cute. - The pajamas Se Rin got for you?
You look adorable, Ha Neul.
We also took a photo too.
- So this is the new fad. - Yes.
My friends showed off their photos with their parents,
so I asked them to take one.
Did you?
You all look great too.
How pretty.
Ms. Seo, let me see it too.
Hey, Tae Yang.
You and Se Rin look like a married couple here.
Really?
Hey, what? What's with your response?
You used to get mad when I made a joke like this.
Cut it out, Uncle Young Soo.
- What? - Ha Neul, give this to Se Rin.
Okay, Tae Yang.
Se Rin, here.
Stick it on your phone later.
Okay, I will.
Se Rin, I enjoyed the rice cake.
Thank you.
And I let my sister know,
so you can come by for the scarf when you have time.
How did you know my mom liked bean songpyeon?
I should be careful.
Last time, I even called her Mom.
It'll be bad if Young Jun finds out I'm Gyeo Ul.
Attorney Han, can Yu Jin...
get divorced in this situation?
Actually, we can't hold...
a vegetated spouse particularly liable,
so according to the law, he can't get divorced.
What? He can't?
However, the whole family has suffered for...
over five years because of her situation.
The state cannot force him to put up with her forever,
so it could count as a proper reason if you took it to court.
So? Can he or can't he?
I'm saying he can divorce her...
through a trial.
Really?
But wait, that means...
we must file a divorce suit?
We can't do that without Father finding out.
Divorce suit?
Father.
Honorary Chairman.
Why did you want to see me?
Ms. Ju.
I know that you are a young woman...
who is also talented.
I'm flattered, Honorary Chairman.
I want you to have the chance to use your talent more effectively.
That's why I'm going to appoint you...
to an overseas branch.
Sorry?
An overseas branch?
I'd like to remain in headquarters.
I have much more to do here...
That's not the reason.
You wish to remain here to marry Yu Jin, right?
Honorary Chairman.
I am truly in love with Director Nam.
I can be a good wife and an assistant to him.
I already made myself clear and didn't approve of it last time.
Honorary Chairman.
I wanted to be nice, but you do not seem to understand.
Let me be straightforward this time.
Break up with Yu Jin.
If you don't, I will appoint you overseas...
against your will.
Darn it!
(Jeil Hospital)
The entire hospital is under mechanical inspection,
so don't worry about the CCTVs.
Jung Gyeo Ul.
Do you have any idea...
how much work, time, and money I put in to take your place?
You have no idea.
I really need to take your place.
(Woman in a Veil)
Why is Oh Se Rin visiting Gyeo Ul's room?
Could she...
Little girl, what are you doing here?
I'm worried about her.
Ms. Ju, the decoration on your shoe fell off.
I'm sure it was Ju Ae Ra.
Oh Se Rin.
How are you connected to Jung Gyeo Ul?
