I should've treated you to a better lunch, Father.
Don't worry.
Dining in the company cafeteria after a long time...
reminded me of the past. It was nice.
By the way, you must've had...
a boring lunch because of me, Ae Ra.
Please don't say that. I enjoyed having lunch with you, Grandfather.
I see. Next time, I'll treat you and Yu Jin...
to a delicious meal.
Oh, right. If it's all right with you,
let's also invite Gyeo Ul.
Sure, of course.
Speaking of Gyeo Ul,
I heard that Gyeo Ul's father could've been murdered...
and didn't pass away from refusing insulin.
What do you mean by that?
"Murdered?"
I'm not sure about the details.
But it seems like Gyeo Ul has suspicions about his death...
and is looking into things.
What on earth is all this about?
Nam Man Joong.
So you're going to feign ignorance again, are you?
Since I threw in the news that...
Gyeo Ul was looking into her father's death,
Nam Man Joong will try to get rid...
of Jung Gyeo Ul and Jung Young Jun as he tried with me.
All I have to do now is focus on making YJ Group mine.
Gyeo Ul. Ae Ra told me that...
there were suspicions about your father's death.
Is it true?
Ae Ra told him?
Does that mean Ju Ae Ra wasn't really behind it?
I'm asking if it's true.
Yes. That's why I'm looking into it right now.
How could that have happened?
Have you found out who was behind it?
Not yet.
I'm trying to question the director of the hospital...
my dad got transferred to back then.
But I haven't met them yet. The director is never in his office.
It's no surprise. If that turns out to be true,
the hospital director must be in a tight spot.
But I must meet that director at any cost.
Only then can I discover the truth.
If not, it'd be too unjust for my dad.
Gyeo Ul. You'll be able to discover it so that...
your father rests in peace.
Then I will meet with the hospital director.
- You will, Grandfather? - Yes.
If the director avoids me too,
I'll set up a meeting, telling them YJ Group will sponsor the hospital.
Then they will not back out of it.
Grandfather. Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Gyeo Ul. This is great news.
Please excuse me for a second.
Yes, Hee Yeon.
The proposal? Okay, I'm on my way.
Grandfather, I need to excuse myself to take care of some work.
Sure. Go ahead.
Okay.
- Tae Yang. Please see him off. - I will.
Mr. Nam. Allow me to walk you to the lobby.
Tae Yang. Why don't we talk for a bit?
I already heard that you were dating...
Gyeo Ul.
I'm not sure how this will come across to you.
But Gyeo Ul is very dear and means a lot to me,
more than just a granddaughter-in-law.
Please take good care of her.
I will. Don't worry about it.
I'll treat her well.
Thanks.
I'm glad that a good man like you...
is next to her.
Thank you, Honorary Chairman.
Since the day I met you with Ji Seok at the welfare center,
I've never felt awkward around you.
It could've been more so because Ji Seok liked you.
What? Ji Seok. What's that?
We're meeting Ha Neul tomorrow, right?
I drew it as Ha Neul's discharge gift.
My goodness. And it's a painting of an umbrella.
Why do you always paint an umbrella...
in your works, Ji Seok?
The painting you submitted to the contest last time...
was also of an umbrella.
I like umbrellas.
This yellow umbrella will block away all worries...
and bad things.
That's a nice way to put it.
Anyway, it's not bad if you think it's a lucky charm for Ha Neul.
Right.
Ju Ae Ra must've told Grandfather about our dad.
Grandfather got in touch, so I told him everything.
I see.
But it was Ju Ae Ra who told him?
What do you mean?
It's strange, right?
I believed Ju Ae Ra and Nam Yu Jin...
were the only ones who could've done that to Dad.
But Ju Ae Ra told that to Grandfather herself.
There's a chance it really wasn't Ju Ae Ra who did it.
But if it wasn't Ju Ae Ra,
who was it?
Grandfather said he'd meet the hospital director.
Let's wait for now.
You met with Gyeo Ul?
Yes.
After the conversation with Ae Ra,
I met with Gyeo Ul and asked. She said it was true.
I can't believe it's true.
Then who murdered Mr. Jung?
So my plan is to meet the director of the hospital...
where Mr. Jung was admitted.
- The hospital director? - That's right.
From what Gyeo Ul told me,
she felt like the director was avoiding her...
to hide something.
So I'm meeting them in her stead.
But the hospital director is avoiding Gyeo Ul.
Would they be willing to meet you?
Fortunately, I got in touch with the director through the secretary.
They agreed to meet after hearing I was YJ's chairman.
I see. So that was what happened.
Then why don't I tag along?
No. Attend the meeting of businessmen...
in place of me tomorrow.
I will meet the hospital director.
That was why I called you.
Yes, I understand.
It looks like the hospital director agreed to meet him,
thinking my father was the man up high at YJ Group.
If he meets the director, everything will be exposed.
The phone is turned off.
- Please leave a message... - Darn it.
This means he'll be out of reach...
until he arrives on the other side tomorrow.
And it's too dangerous for me to get into this.
What am I going to do?
I need to keep my dad away from him until Mr. Pyeon returns.
Mal Ja, I'm sorry I asked you to come so suddenly.
I have to be at a training for franchise owners today.
Goodness, don't be sorry.
It feels like I'm on a date with Young Soo, so I'm thrilled.
She's right!
I get to work and be with Mal Ja. It's a win-win situation.
Then please look after the restaurant for me.
Ha Neul's dad's family will come, so please welcome them too.
Okay.
I was supposed to meet her great-uncle for the first time,
so tell him I apologized for not saying hello.
Ms. Seo! Please don't worry about us...
and go now. You'll be late.
Okay.
Ha Neul, have fun with Great-Uncle Ji Seok and Grandma.
Okay, Mom. See you.
See you.
See you, Ms. Seo.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Bye.
Let's eat.
It looks great.
Oh, my. I think that's Mr. Seo Tae Yang's mother.
Tae Yang's mother?
The lady who just walked out is Tae Yang's mother?
Yes.
- Ji Seok, let's go inside. - Okay.
Hey, Ha Neul.
Ha Neul!
- Hello. - Hello, you're here.
Yes.
Gyeo Ul's aunt was here too.
Today is our day with Ha Neul.
I'm here to help out in Ms. Seo's place.
Anyway, I thought I just saw her go out.
Did she go somewhere?
She has a training session for franchise owners. She went there.
I wanted to meet Ms. Seo,
but we never got to see her.
She was sorry too.
Anyway, what's this?
Oh, this?
I painted this myself for Ha Neul.
Ha Neul, this is a present for you.
My gosh, it's a sky and an umbrella.
Great-Uncle, it's so pretty.
It is?
Ha Neul, this umbrella will...
always keep bad luck away from you.
It's just like the umbrella embroidery Ms. Seo made.
She always says umbrellas keep away bad luck.
What? Really?
Right, so the umbrella embroidery on Ha Neul's doll...
meant that.
Anyway, why isn't the honorary chairman with you?
He had to do some business, so he couldn't come.
Gyeo Ul, I'm on my way to meet the hospital director.
I'll call you later.
Bye.
Secretary Kim. Are you still...
unable to find Hyun Jung?
No, I've been looking around since the day she left the country,
but I haven't found her yet.
I should've visited her again when I first found her.
Why did Hyun Jung tell me she wasn't herself?
Is there a reason why she did that?
Honorary Chairman Nam, are you all right?
Honorary Chairman, you should consider getting hospitalized.
No.
The doctor said nothing was wrong with me.
I'll be fine after I rest for a day.
Anyway, you should call the hospital director...
and schedule another meeting tomorrow.
Yes, Honorary Chairman.
Dad, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm sorry you had to leave early without spending time with Ha Neul.
We can always visit her next time.
Anyway, how did you get into that accident?
The driver behind us was using his phone,
so he missed the traffic light.
What?
What kind of person looks at his phone behind the wheel?
It's all right. All I need is a bit of rest.
You don't have to worry.
(Chairman Nam Yeon Seok)
What?
Is Dad all right?
Yes, the doctor said nothing was wrong with him.
He's resting in his room.
(Chairman Nam Yeon Seok)
What a relief.
Please look after him, honey.
I'll call it a day early and be home soon.
Man.
Ae Ra will barge in soon and want to eat lunch.
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
Hey, Chang Soo. What are you up to?
Oh, it's lunch time soon, so come out and have lunch with me.
Why not?
Come out and eat with me.
Hello? Hey.
Darn it.
Yu Jin, let's eat lunch.
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
Man, I'm sorry.
I have some business outside in the afternoon,
so I can't eat lunch with you.
Business outside?
I saw your schedule. You didn't have a meeting outside.
Right! I forgot.
It wasn't a meeting. I'm eating lunch with my golf buddies.
Really?
But you know,
why does it feel like you want to avoid eating lunch with me?
She's too quick-witted.
Well, that's how she used that fake car accident...
to chain me to her and became the lady of YJ Group.
Yu Jin, tell me.
Are you really avoiding me?
Come on. What do you mean?
Why would I do that?
I really have to go out.
Sure. Okay.
All right, then. I can't help it.
Enjoy your lunch.
Darn it. I can't even divorce her...
because of Oh Se Rin's accident.
I have to live like this for the rest of my life?
This is so annoying.
It looks great.
What are they doing?
Ta-da.
Did you really put this together?
(Staff Lounge)
Yes, you seemed troubled with many different matters lately,
so I prepared everything since early this morning.
Thank you, Tae Yang. I'll enjoy everything.
Wait.
Let me feed you.
Here. Open up.
Gosh.
Come on. Tae Yang's arm hurts.
- Open up. - Okay.
How dare you do this in our office?
Why do you care about what we do?
Of course, I should care.
I'm your boss.
What?
What you're doing right now is a public display of affection at work!
Gyeo Ul, let's not mind him and dig in.
Open up.
No way.
Jeez.
It's not even good.
Darn it. I should wash my hands.
Nam Yu Jin, that jerk.
I'm sorry, Tae Yang.
Why are you apologizing, Gyeo Ul?
Nam Yu Jin must be acting like that out of jealousy.
- Have some of this. - Okay.
Yes, Grandfather?
What? Are you all right, Grandfather?
I'm fine.
Don't worry. I will meet the hospital director tomorrow.
Okay.
Honorary Chairman. I got in touch with the secretary.
The hospital director will be out of his office for 15 days,
attending an overseas seminar.
It seems we'll have to set up a meeting after that.
What? Fifteen days?
That won't do.
Call the secretary again, Secretary Kim.
Set up a meeting so that I can meet the director at once.
(YJ Group)
Thanks to you, Gyeo Ul,
overseas sales on a year-over-year basis...
have significantly increased.
Great job.
Thank you.
That reminds me, I heard Grandfather got into an accident...
on his way to investigate my dad's matter.
I'm sorry. It was because of me.
Why would you apologize for that? Don't think like that.
I should've talked with the hospital director first.
I'll take better care from now on.
Thank you, Father.
- Please excuse me. - Sure.
(Chairman Nam Yeon Seok)
Yes, Ji Seok?
Hey, Yeon Seok. On your way back home,
get Dad's favorite wagashi.
Okay. I will.
By the way, is Father feeling better?
Yes, he seems fine.
Dad went out to take care of the business he couldn't do earlier.
What?
Father went out?
I kept you waiting.
No, you didn't.
I should apologize for canceling the meeting...
and then setting one up again in a rush.
I only ever heard about you through Secretary Pyeon.
But we have finally met.
- "Secretary Pyeon?" - Yes.
You must be deeply worried about the incident five years ago, yes?
But don't let the incident from five years ago bother you.
According to Secretary Pyeon...
Please excuse me.
Hello?
Right now, I'm...
Director, the man you're currently talking to...
is not the YJ superior I mentioned.
What do you mean by that?
I'll fill you in on the details in person.
For now, get away from that place.
What was that just now?
Don't let the incident from five years ago bother me?
And what was that about Secretary Pyeon?
Right, you see...
Five years ago, Secretary Pyeon sponsored our hospital...
under YJ Group...
and wanted me to keep it a secret.
He did?
Yes.
Oh, I totally forgot that I had something to do...
this afternoon.
I'm sorry. Please excuse me first.
Wait.
Director.
(YJ Group)
Secretary Pyeon. How did it go?
After our conversation,
I talked to the hospital director on the phone.
But he accidentally mentioned the words "five years ago,"
along with my name.
What?
Does that mean Father found out about it all?
The director made up a lie that...
the incident five years ago was me sponsoring that hospital.
But I'm sure the honorary chairman will find me suspicious...
and look for me.
Darn it.
(Office of the Chairman)
Oh, okay. Well, then...
I'll call you back later.
Father. What brings you here?
Aren't you unwell from today's accident?
I stopped by to ask you something.
Before coming here,
I met with the hospital director regarding Mr. Jung's matter.
But the hospital director spouted something strange.
"Something strange?"
He said Secretary Pyeon...
sponsored the hospital under YJ's name five years ago.
Secretary Pyeon did that?
Yes.
But wasn't Pyeon Sang Guk the only Secretary Pyeon...
in our company?
He quit 30 years ago.
Oh, that's right.
But he sponsored the hospital under YJ's name?
Yes. But here's the thing.
Why would a man who quit 30 years ago...
sponsor under YJ's name five years ago?
It's strange, however hard I think of it.
Do you know anything about it?
No, I don't.
This is my first time hearing about it.
Then I must meet with Secretary Pyeon.
By any chance, are you in touch with him?
Gosh, no way.
We lost contact years ago.
Father, why don't I look into it?
Yes. Then I leave it to you.
All right.
Then is that man Secretary Pyeon involved in your father's death?
I'm not 100 percent certain.
But Grandfather told me something was weird.
Then we'll figure something out...
only after meeting Pyeon Sang Guk, yes?
Yes, that seems to be the case.
Young Jun. Did you look into what I asked?
Yes. After your call, I asked the HR Team...
for any personnel records left on Pyeon Sang Guk.
But having quit 30 years ago, there was no data about him.
I searched the name Pyeon Sang Guk...
on every social media platform today, just in case.
But I barely found anyone around his age.
So I hoped there would be some data on the computer.
Why don't you ask for the chairman's help?
Wasn't he the chairman's secretary?
From what Grandfather told me, Father agreed to look into it.
But Father said they lost contact a long time ago.
So I'm growing impatient.
Then I'll put together the Europe buyer meeting material.
So don't worry about work. Focus solely on finding Pyeon Sang Guk.
Father is currently looking for you.
Darn it. If only my flight had not been delayed.
I should've contacted the hospital director sooner.
My apologies, Chairman Nam.
Apologizing now won't change anything.
For now, leave Korea at once.
Understood.
But if I leave Korea in this situation,
won't he find it more suspicious?
Even if he does,
you will have already left Korea. So how will he find you?
I will prepare enough money for you to use while in hiding.
Don't worry and leave.
Yes, I will.
In return, Chairman Nam.
Please take care of my mother in the hospital.
She has a chronic illness.
The thought that I can't meet her for a while worries me.
Don't worry about your mother.
I will transfer her to a better hospital and pay attention to her.
Yes, all right.
Then I'll trust you and leave this country.
But if Secretary Pyeon is involved in this matter,
aren't Ju Ae Ra and Nam Yu Jin unconnected to it?
Most likely.
While Secretary Pyeon worked for the chairman,
Nam Yu Jin would've been 2 or 3 years old.
If that man quit 30 years ago,
why did he call himself YJ's secretary...
to the hospital director five years ago?
Actually, I find that to be the strangest.
Didn't the doctor-in-charge say that YJ stopped your father's autopsy?
Then how were Secretary Pyeon and your father related?
I'm not sure about that either.
Did Secretary Pyeon and Dad hold a grudge against each other?
Secretary Pyeon. Something is fishy about him, for sure.
I will find him one way or another,
reveal his connection to the hospital director,
and ask the director why he stopped Dad's autopsy.
What did you just say?
Mom.
Wait, the hospital director stopped your dad's autopsy?
What are you talking about?
Mom, you need to calm down.
We don't know if it's true or not.
I'll meet the director and see if this is true or not.
I'll go after her.
Mom!
Did you just get home?
- Yes. - You're late.
Yes, I spent some time looking for a way...
to find Mr. Pyeon as you asked this afternoon.
Really?
So? Did you find a way?
I searched for his data in our HR Database,
but I didn't find anything in particular.
I made a request to experts who look for missing people.
I know this isn't easy,
but please make it happen.
Get some rest.
Yes, goodnight.
There will be no chance of you meeting Secretary Pyeon, Father.
Please let me meet the hospital director.
How many times do I have to tell you that he went home?
I'm sorry.
You can't leave like this!
Then at least tell me his address!
Mom, you need to stop!
How can I stop?
You said there were suspicions surrounding your dad's death.
Yes, so Grandfather and Father are looking into this.
Let's trust them and give them some time.
Mom, stay here and calm down.
I'll get you something to drink. Okay?
(Rodeo Motel)
Thanks.
Hey, it's me.
I won't come back for a while once I leave the country this time.
I came by to see my mom.
Yes, my flight is tonight.
Anyway, please keep an eye on Mom.
Bye. Man.
I'm done with this pack.
Honey, I'll go now.
- Okay. - Bye.
Sang Guk, have fun talking to Hyun Tae.
Yes, Gil Ja. Goodbye.
Excuse me.
- It's you, right? - What?
You were my husband's junior from the army.
Yes, right. You're Hyun Tae's wife.
Yes, that's me.
It's been a while.
Yes, right.
Mom, do you know him?
Yes, you should meet him.
Your dad's junior in the army, Mr. Pyeon Sang Guk.
What?
(Woman in a Veil)
Was Mr. Pyeon involved in Mr. Jung's incident?
It's a fake passport.
My dad knows, so you can't leave the country with your passport.
I need to get that pen voice recorder...
from that bag.
Why did you lie to me and say that woman was Yu Ra?
You made up that lie to send me away, didn't you?
Have you found that man, Pyeon Sang Guk?
I saw them together five years ago. Why did he deny contacting him?
