Secret Love Affair
Episode 6
You're sending him away gracefully.
I thought that you'd put up a fight.
I held it in.
If I pulled too hard, he might go sideways.
Of course.
But he smiled a little in front of you.
Earlier.
I think he's more comfortable with you than with me.
Well... I guess (he would be) more than a professor.
Is he perhaps...
rejecting me?
Why would he?
I have to show him with patience.
What it is to have affection between a teacher and a pupil,
and what it is to trust and follow someone.
How would he know that?
Why did you say that you were for it (him moving back home) back there?
The same reason as yours.
Then...
I... did well, right?
Even if it doesn't sit well with me, letting him go when I should...
Well.. that... the girlfriend bothers me.
Or should we just open it up for him?
Tell her to come out and buy her food and have her come over the house to socialize.
It might not be something to give only a negative look.
Both emotionally and physically,
he's at the age to be very active and sensitive.
Barring him from everything won't do any good.
If you look at the kids that are dating a specific partner,
there is something...that is stable about them.
You're going too far.
You said you would patiently show him what the affection between a teacher and a pupil is.
What it is to have trust.
Are you being sarcastic right now?
It's not that. You're going back and forth.
You said the girlfriend bothered you, then you said you're going to open up.
You, too, show some enthusiasm!
I'm asking you to worry with me about how we're going to manage him!
If my method doesn't suit you, why don't you tell me that it won't work!
I'm sorry for getting mad,
but you should understand.
Honestly, that guy's not easy.
I don't know what he thinks about me, or if he's grateful to me,
I don't know what he's thinking.
I've never seen anyone who grew up in that kind of environment.
That kind of environment...
I know.
But you should..
treat him with sincerity first.
Should I?
Oh.
Could you drop me off at the main street?
I'm supposed to meet with Ji Soo and Jeong for a bit.
Why them?
What do you mean "why"?
You can join us.
No, I don't want to. Too loud.
Yeah, Ji Soo!
This is a coded message.
You're supposed to be with me right now.
I'm telling you this just in case, but don't forget about it
and make me an alibi.
There's something.
I'll tell you later.
Okay.
It's all exactly the same.
Of course I'd use it the way it is. Why would I invest more money in this place?
Even the menu is the same.
It's just that I feel a little weird.
Reminds of my mom, too, you know.
If you're reminded of her, you should think about her. What else to do?
Oh, I know, right?
What about your public service? Are you all done?
Well, they might call me back for duty in a few months depending on the re-exam.
If you don't want to cook, come down and take some Banchan (side dishes) with you.
Sometimes help us with deliveries when Ahjussi is busy.
Okay.
Is it nice to be back home?
How did you get here?
On a taxi.
(Got here) Well.
Not that...
I had to tell you something.
Your phone doesn't work yet.
There won't be many reasons to meet in private from now on.
Why not?
I couldn't find any cafes. I want to go sit somewhere.
There's only my house.
I came as your teacher.
But..
will it be okay?
What?
It's... dark and dangerous.
For you.
I'll follow you well.
Come.
Aigoo, this...
It's dirty but just hold this as you come up.
Aiyoo, it really is dark.
Yes, the lamp is broken.
Will you give me your cellphone for a minute?
Just a second.
Come up.
Oh, stay here one moment.
You were going to move but returned.
Yes.
You have to close the door.
Oh.
You said Mr. Mice would come in, right? - Yes.
Wipe your hands.
Not too shabby, actually.
Yes.
My girlfriend said that she came by sometimes and cleaned.
I see.
No need to be so thorough, I'll just come in.
Oh, wait.
Sit here.
Can I? This says "music".
It's okay.
You sit down, too.
Yes. Just a minute.
Are you bringing out something?
Yes. Coffee.
Water's fine.
Okay.
What I wanted to say was...
First of all,
you have to aim high.
What you need to be thinking about
is neither Oh Hye Won nor the audition for Seohan College of Music.
Those are just your stepping stones.
You should enter international competitions.
Check the schedule on the website.
Ji Min Woo is...
You know him, right? You probably saw him at the music festival.- Yes.
He's going for the Geneva Competition in November this year.
I heard he made a submission for the DVD preliminaries.
The due date has passed, so you'll have to prepare for the next year's competition.
Epinal, France for March 2015, Gezaa Anda, Switzerland around June,
Tchaikovsky from the 15th in the same month, Munich in August, Chopin in October...
Look.
You told me this before.
"You're different from those kids. You're special."
I'm not...
a kid who's just acting cute in front of you,
and I'm sorry to say this, but
I'm not insensitive like Professor Kang, either.
It worked perfectly on you.
Yes.
I'm telling you this to upset you.
So that you'll set up a goal and go for it.
I think you're trying too hard.
To make yourself look like a grown-up person in front of me.
I...
can do well.
Do what?
Not getting intimidated.
What does that mean?
To you, I am
100% sincere, so I don't have to lie, is what I mean.
I have nothing to be afraid of.
Of course I'll have to hide it from other people.
To protect you.
But...
that's why I can do it even better.
Now that I'm here in my own home,
my confidence has gone up, and
somehow I feel like I have nothing to hide.
I feel like
I'm a rather decent guy.
So, as for you,
don't worry too much,
and don't act too grown-up either, and...
You just need to love me.
You have nothing to lose.
It's obvious I'm the one who loves you more.
I'm just saying...
I packed some fruits and things as you asked for snacks.
This is fine. Good enough.
What should I tell Director when she comes home?
She'll know if you just tell her I've gone out to see a student.
Then please be on your way. I have something on the stove.
Why are you so stubborn?
Your emotion... don't you know how dangerous it is?
I'm going to connect the computer. While I do that,
look at this.
Don't do other things and finish listening to what I have to say.
It won't take long.
Make sure to thoroughly wash your peanut and armpits during bath.
What, what are you doing?
Here. This is funnier.
English is difficult.
The pronunciation sounds so funny,
my face gets red before I know it.
Today, I only played Mozart sonata all day.
I played until late at night.
Mom said it's too noisy, while doing the dishes.
But she says it's strange, after listening to it.
She says, why is it sad, when it's light and cheerful.
I feel the same.
A major chord feels like a minor chord.
A minor chord also feels like a major chord.
What kind of a person was your mother?
Pardon?
Your talent seems to run through your mother.
She feels the music properly.
Do you have a picture of her?
Ah, yes.
Here.
She's beautiful.
But she's got nothing except for that.
Always getting herself hurt and conned...
She raised you well.
Yes.
I haven't done anything bad.
Compared to my friends,
it's not like I swear as much, either.
Ah, she nagged so much that
I have good living habits.
I love my mom very much.
It's in the present tense.
Of course.
I want to tell her about you, too.
Don't hit on me, considering your mom.
Pardon?
Moms can't stand their sons doing that.
If you tell her you like someone who's 20 years older than you,
she'll be very sad.
Why?
It doesn't make sense.
She'll want to hit me, kick me out,
and humiliate me.
Do you want to listen to this through a head phone or nothing?
Don't change topics.
I picked some music pieces I've played.
It's night time, so there's no traffic noise. It'd be better to listen without anything on.
I recorded this without video. It's just audio.
You played pieces like this too?
Yes. Just...
It's one of the most difficult pieces of Liszt.
It looked awesome when Sohn Yeo Reum was playing it, so...
Tchaikov..
Why do you cut off people's names?
Pronounce it fully. With confidence.
Tchaikovsky.
I watched the 2nd round video so many times.
For the audition repertoire, do this.
Was that okay? - Of course.
Come here. I'll give you a hug.
I'll hug you.
I think I'll have to go. Keep in mind what I said today. The goal...
You're home? Hey, then why didn't you call?
You're so dead.
I just got off the bus.
What?
When Da Mi comes, please give her this.
And the motorcycle please.
Tighter!
I'm not being dirty-minded. It's a safety problem.
Okay.
So this is why kids like it.
Would you like me to take you for another round?
Teeth rot if you suck on candy for too long.
Now, get going to your girlfriend.
It's very close from here to my house. About 30 minutes if I run.
I'll come early in the morning to practice and go quietly.
Practice at your house. I'll send you a piano.
The one at the company.
And also, Professor Kang will contact you about school.
Don't call or text me.
Only I can do that.
I'm home.
Was it fun?
It's always the same, starting with trash-talking Seo Yeong Woo...
About Lee Seon Jae.
What should he play at his audition?
Not sure.
About Liszt? Rhapsodie espagnole.
That's not your style.
Why does my style matter?
Seon Jae's getting the attention and appealing to the judges is what's important.
Everyone will be mad impressed at cadenza.
You should suggest that to him.
You do it.
I think it's going to take about 40 minutes to run to your house and come running back home.
I'm going to jog around the neighborhood every morning as an exercise.
If you happen to wake up around 6:30, look out the window.
My hands...
I won't use.
You slept downstairs?
Yeah. I was watching soccer.
What are you doing?
Well, mag(nolia)...
No, I noticed pear flowers bloomed.
Why would they, Lady?
Would they bloom already?
They wouldn't? I'll wash up first.
I'm passing by right now.
-Hello. -Welcome.
Send me the list of instrument purchase file.
This is more like putting in a new one rather than a repair.
Hammer, damper, strings, even putting in the keyboard...
It was bought at $300, but it cost $1800 to repair it?
Wouldn't this be a problem during the audit?
If they ask whether it's worth purchasing and owning it...
It'll have to be done through the chairman's approval.
It shouldn't be an issue.
Draft a rental/lease-out document for me.
Lee Seon Jae as the recipient. - Yes.
Yes.
Oh, yes. I'll go down now.
Mr. Lee Seon Jae? - Yes.
You received a notice, right? - Yes.
Take a look, please.
It's very familiar, isn't it?
The one you sold a few months ago, our Director purchased it.
How... how did she know?
I got the piano.
How did this come back to me..?
You seem to see right through me.
The sound became much better. Listen.
Welcome.
-Why are you so polite? -Huh?
Aren't we close?
I liked that you talked to me about your worries.
Yes. I was really grateful.
Sit down.
Speak comfortably between us. The way you normally talk.
Okay.
I'll raise the chair for you.
Ah, right. How did that problem turn out?
Everything worked out well.
I think this brings luck.
My boyfriend got released.
That's good.
I felt bad because I couldn't help.
I'm thankful to you for even listening to my story.
That's why you look so happy!
I guess so.
I was a little mad
because he went to the Professor's house right after he got released.
Oh, no.
Because I couldn't get in touch with him, I just went there looking for him.
I got angry because he was sleeping tucked away in a nice room.
I couldn't even sleep or eat because I was worried.
Hitting and getting hit, we went at it for a round.
Is the water temperature okay?
Yes. It's just right.
What's decent about him though is,
the professor told him to live at (the professor's) house, but
he declined and came back to his own house.
The house is incredibly lousy, but he says he likes that.
I let him off easy because it was so admirable.
I plan to support him properly.
Since he says he'll play the piano again.
Are you saying that you're going to live with him?
Huh?
No, you said you're going to support him..
I'm saying that I'm going to act as a wife in advance.
Even if we get married later.
Could you cover my face, please?
Oh, I wasn't in my right mind.
Maybe I should straighten my hair. I feel a little low.
It's good now.
Does it not look good on me?
It's better to avoid it.
Since it will accentuate your age.
I like you. You're honest.
Thank you.
Ah, right, CEO Seo came by yesterday. She said she was making a subsidiary company.
Well, it's just a wish now.
The chairman should return home for things to get moving, right?
Yes.
-Say something to her. -Okay.
Why? She looks pretty when she smiles.
She should be polite. You're a V.V.I.P.
If you're busy, press 1. If you don't like this, press 2.
If you have time, why don't we condition your hair?
No. I have an appointment. I'll do it next time.
Okay. You can do that.
Oh, what should I do? I'm sorry.
Gosh, so annoying!
I know, right? Are you okay?
Move!
I'm not going to move.
Be quiet.
You brought the b*tch out of me.
I'm sorry...
(Say) Unnie.
Unnie...
Say them together!
I did wrong, Unnie.
You're done?
Yes.
Okay.
See you later.
These days, if he's 20 years old, he's absolutely not a kid.
It's different from our times.
That's probably right.
Don't kid yourself.
Whether it's our times or your times, things people do at that age is all the same.
When I was going out with Dae Han, I, too, ran off to Mt. Seorak after telling my parents I was going on a school field trip.
Hey, you did it because it was you.
"Because it was you," as if!
After getting caught in the act while filming a rated-R movie with In Seo in the practice room.
Hey! How is that rated-R?
All I did was, with my eyes slightly open,
wondering whether I brushed my teeth or not after lunch,
'Oh, shoot! I had a pickled radish.'
That's where it stopped.
You think I'm the only one that saw In Seo grabbing your butt?
Your reaction was no joke, too!
Geez, what do you take me for.. I told you that's not what happened.
Yeah, right! Hey!
To be continued after I return, okay?
I look forward to it.
What to do with her?
What was I doing back then?
Now that I think of it,
it was completely hell.
Think of it positively.
You've overcome all of it.
The problem is...
At that time, 'I'm doing really well.'
That's what I thought.
You weren't, then?
At the prime age to be in love,
all I did was trying my ass off to get smart.
'I have to get myself out of this no matter what.'
'I have to study abroad even if that means having to mooch on Yeong Woo.'
With those thoughts.
Whatever it may have been, you survived.
That's why you have 'today'.
Yes, well...
But that 'today' is really...
I don't even know what that is.
My body starts drooping everywhere,
and my heart
has already become a speck of sand...
I wonder if, only now,
I'm trying to get back what I didn't get to do back then.
It won't matter how hard I try.
How am I going to win against a 20 year old?
Huh?
No need to look so surprised. I'm just saying.
You... haven't told me about yesterday.
Say it quickly before she comes back.
What did you need an alibi for?
Kang Joon Hyeong. Is he having an affair with a young chick?
Did you perhaps... go meet up with her yesterday?
To take care of it quietly behind his back?
Let's finish this up and head out.
Don't call or text me.
Only I can contact you.
Yes, Professor.
Ah, I heard the piano arrived?
That's right.
I asked my wife to do that.
Still... Isn't that piano important thing in your life?
How do you like it? You like it, don't you?
I made a special request to Director Oh.
Asking that she replace all the parts with the best ones. - Oh, I see.
Thank you so much.
Yes.
What's that? No, not at all. I'm alone.
- I was about to go to sleep. - Then rest well, and
we'll chat again. Okay.
Come over here. I'll give you a hug.
Let me hug you.
Poor wench.
Should have backed off after being given
the affiliate (boutique) or whatever.
Where the heck does she get off?
For a chick who'd be kicked to the curve in less than 6 months.
I'm sure the Chairman will somehow provide support.
- Tell them I'll be down shortly, okay? - Yes, ma'am.
Number 1, okay?
Number 2. Sign off between the two.
I recommend number 3.
That doesn't exist within the selection criteria. It's one or the other.
Either permit my divorce from my husband Kim, or give me the Seohan Apparel.
Number 3!
Man! Seriously!
Divorce can't happen as your hubby is the head of our company legal department.
SA can't happen
because your worth isn't sufficient.
Didn't you say my happiness is your top priority?!
What do you think the biggest happiness is to a businessman?
It's leaving huge profit with small seed money.
Start out as a humble affiliate, and try growing it solidly.
I will assign a person for you.
A person, who?!
I think the old man (Chairman) is planning to take Director Oh out,
and assign her to Young Woo. Keep that in mind.
Continue on.
The return on investment was decent, so
the bottom line goal for the SA was achieved.
Even if Young Woo covets it, she can't have it.
Mrs. Baek's funds aren't nothing to laugh at either. Don't you think?
I would like it if we could run a for-profit business in the foundation's name.
Will you look into it?
That's not within my control...
I'm also a bit of a scared-y-cat.
That's not quite true.
Anyway, good job.
Open that drawer. I bought something for you.
Glad.
Gosh... This...
Isn't it tremendously expensive?
I did splurge a bit.
Thanks to you I can roam about.
Making you run all sorts of tiresome errands.
During this trip, even the old man seemed to have behaved.
Isn't that all thanks to you?
What thanks...
Go on and put it on!
I will put it on when I'm dressed properly for it.
So it can sparkle even more.
Would you like that?
Thank you so much.
- Let's go down. - Alright.
You can disobey Chairman's order once.
That also is a strategy.
I will act appropriately.
Okay.
How have you all been?
Did you get a chance to rest a bit?
Yes, thanks to you.
I received your gift well.
My wife was so pleased.
Oh, I'm glad.
Why doesn't Chairman of the Board join these folks and keep company today?
Ah, that would be grand!
Shall we then?
Do I have your permission to play around today?
Sure thing. Since you and I have been caught up,
go on and play around there.
Director Oh, you should come with me.
I will.
Won't you help out with Young Woo's company, Hye Won?
Pardon?
Will CEO Seo be starting up a company?
Faux-naif...
It won't tax you too much to simultaneously help out
on an affiliate business while working on the Foundation, would it?
She'll get paid decently, too.
It's not the issue of the money, but...
Ajussi.
- This chic inwardly cares about money. - Come, come.
You are in the position of a requester.
I got it.
Be advised as such, and come up with a plan and report it.
I will.
Wow.
An immediate acceptance!
I can't dare refuse the request,
however consider this one thing seriously.
I am working with the intent and goal to end my career
at the Arts Foundation, you see.
Of course I know that.
State your condition.
I would like the complete control over the responsibility I oversee.
What?
Are you taking this opportunity to try to become the CEO? How dare you!
The title doesn't matter.
- You listen! - Sit down!
Talk about an ungrateful wretch!
- You SHREW! - Send Young Woo out of here.- Let go!
Hey, Oh Hye Won! You never once show what's inside!
Horrid bitch! Let go of me!
Go to the hospital tomorrow, and get a thorough treatment.
It might scar.
It will be alright. It's not like my skin tore.
You did well.
Chairman won't ever be able to refuse it.
He witnessed his daughter in action,
and sent her off immediately, you see?
He's asking for one-on-one conversation with you.
I'd be glad if he does.
I'm curious and worried.
If you aren't busy or not disinterested,
why won't you answer, I wonder?
Yes, Teacher.
Seon Jae.
Do you...
know how to drive?
Yes. I got my license right after I got my Identification Card.
I have driven van and small freight truck too. Ah, and the 1 ton truck as well.
I know. I'm asking if you're good at it.
Ah, yes. I'm not too shabby.
Then will you come meet me right now?
Sorry?
I need a driver who'd keep me safe.
Just drive wherever for 2 hours, without talking.
Alright. I do keeping quiet well.
How great you are.
