Episode 12
Good night.
Ah...
Good night, I will wake you up early tomorrow.
Why is that man not here?
So Ran!
So Ran.
Honey, I was wrong.
- Honey, I was wrong... - Don't be like this.
What are you doing? Come out!
Honey.
What should I do? What should I do? Help! Is anyone there? What should I do?
Cheon Jae Beom, what should I do?
Dear, I was wrong.
How could you do that for me? Giving up your precious life?
Don't you have these bad ideas again.
There definitely won't be anymore.
How did you know that I was here?
Ah Jeong told me.
Ah Jeong, again?
Ah Jeong, Ah Jeong, Ah Jeong!
Did you ask Ah Jeong again? You asked her where I was?
So you pretended to be pitiful just to go see her?
Are you going to her house again to look for her?
What could I've done? You weren't there...
When you're not here, in my eyes, I can't see anything else.
I worried about you.
I felt anxious.
I was really standing at the Han River Bridge, thinking about suicide.
So my face would appear on television.
That way, no matter where you are, you can see me.
I even had these kinds of thoughts.
Really?
Really...
Really, you thought about suicide?
Without you, how can I live?
I can't live for a day. I can't even breathe for one hour.
Come here.
Honey.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Honey. Sit down.
Are the clothes dry yet? I only have those.
What's this?
I bought it.
You should have bought one for yourself.
Of course, I bought one for me also.
Take it off.
Again?
What do you mean again? We have to leave.
Right, we have to go.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Rest well, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I'll be busy tomorrow...
So am I.
We must still see each other.
What time can we meet up tomorrow?
What time are you free?
I'm really busy, it's hard to say...
8 o'clock?
7 o'clock.
7:30.
7:20.
Okay, 7:20 is good.
I'm home!
My daughter has come home. Did things go well?
I think it went well.
But we'll still have to wait and see.
Aigoo, my daughter has skills. (Aigoo - Oh Dear, Oh My God)
Of course.
What is this? Did you make these dishes?
I haven't cooked for a long time.
Delicious! You must have put in a lot of effort.
Someone did it for me.
Who?
Ah... that...
Who?
I have already eaten.
You must be hungry. Hurry, wash your hands and eat, okay?
Hurry and eat, okay?
Strange. It's quite delicious.
Even though I don't know who made it.
Aigoo, were you doing fine while I was away? Gong Ah Jeong.
? Let's leave together. ?
? Casting everything away. ?
? In Jeju Island...?
Hello?
=This is Yun Ju.=
=Oh Yun Ju.=
Yes.
=Can we meet right now?=
Now?
=Yes, I'm near your house now.=
Have a seat.
Okay.
I was drinking while waiting but...
Do you want us to have a drink together?
No, I...
Give me some.
I just came back from Jeju Island.
I know both of you went to Jeju Island.
I knew I shouldn't have followed you, but...
I arrived at the airport without knowing.
If you went to Jeju Island that means...
Yes, I saw you both.
But, for some reason, I couldn't approach you.
Ah Jeong.
Tell me, please.
How was it for you?
What?
Oppa and I broke the engagement. (Oppa - older brother, boyfriend)
But, you got married to him after just one lie,
although it was just a fake marriage.
I got engaged to him, but it still won't do.
It didn't work out, for reasons I couldn't understand.
- What... - Because of Sang Hi.
What?
Back then, Sang Hi also had feelings for me.
Because of his younger brother, he decided to call off the wedding.
I was just hiding for a while.
I don't think this is something I need to hear.
Oppa was my first love.
The person I thought would be mine until I die. The feeling of losing that person to someone else...
Ah Jeong, do you know what it feels like?
Though it's difficult to accept, in a situation like this...
I think I can understand your feelings a little.
Really...
If you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving first.
I believe all of the agreements have been settled.
During this period, you've worked hard.
And also, we fully support the president.
I guarantee on behalf of our company's name,
we will build a world class hotel in China,
and we will put in our greatest efforts.
Finally, I have something to say to the Chairman.
First of all, I'm really sorry.
I didn't meant to deliberately deceive you.
I... am not married.
What exactly are you trying to say?
I took the opportunity and lied.
To get your favor, I prolonged the lie that I was married.
To keep doing good business, I wanted to tell you the truth.
I feel now is the time to tell you the truth.
I want everything to be fair and transparent.
Again, I ask for your forgiveness.
You lied to me.
I had lied to you. It's an inexcusable behavior, and it is my fault.
But, our company's business plan is not a lie.
Please believe me.
Why are you telling me now?
So I can get less punishment.
To receive less punishment: Lying to you to serve self interests deserves punishment.
Are you crazy?
Are you in your right mind?
Before the contract is signed, you just had to do this?
Sorry.
Why?
Why? Why did you lie to me as well, and choose to be honest at this moment?
You should've lied until the end. Why must you confess early and ask for forgiveness?
Why did you do such a thing? What's your purpose?
I'm really sorry.
I will take full responsibility.
Responsibility? Responsibility?
Ha!
You, if you don't get Chairman Chen to sign that contract,
at the next Board of Directors' meeting, I'll tell them I will not turn over the hotel to you.
It's our Ministry of Culture's treasure! Treasures!
With your blessing, I received Jeju provincial governor's phone call.
Ah? But Affairs Officer Gong, how did you manage to please those Election Committee members?
I was just being honest...
Honest?
That's right! That's it! Honesty!
Isn't this a public official's biggest virtue?
Excuse me,
What?
Korea is in the middle of the power summit.
The representative in Beijing has some problems, and it looks like I need to go on this one.
Yes, do that.
No. It's that...
I also have the traditional music that I promoted earlier.
Ah! To promote our traditional music.
Who will do it for him?
Aff.... Affairs Officer, please take a look at this.
Oh Oh! For things like this, our Affairs Officer Gong is the expert!
True, it was originally hopeless and has poor planning.
Colleagues should help each other.
Affairs Officer Gong, take responsibility for this, and try to save it.
How about it?
Me?
Who else but you?
- Who else in our department is better than you? - Ah, yes.
About that. It's a lost cause. Don't take responsibility.
If you take responsibility, you're finished. Finished!
Yes, he's using other issues as an excuse to avoid his responsibility. So don't accept it.
Why did you work until so late?
Because I'm a public officer, must I get off work on time?
For a person who's advancing his career, why are you off work so early?
Early?
I was missing you so much I thought I was going to die.
I'm in charge of a new assignment. Would you like to have a look?
What is it?
To promote our traditional music.
Do you want complimentary tickets?
Forget it, who would watch this?
- Ah... - Looks like you're doing the work that no one wants to do again?
The Chief gave me some excellent rewards for the job at Jeju's Island.
Like I said, you've finished doing all the Ministry of Culture's work.
Where are we going now?
Sang Hi wants to see us.
Sang Hi?
? Oh my love... ?
Hey, don't you have any other songs?
Okay. Don't touch! Don't touch! Stay put!
Here, the president should try it first.
Come on!
Aigoo, forget it.
Just eat and see.
Others are feeding each other, so I'm feeding you. Are you not happy?
Hello everyone.
Oh, look who's here!
Isn't this... President Hyeon Gi Jun actually comes to a shabby place like this?
This isn't shabby. It's obviously a very nice place.
Yes...
This is Sang Hi's hyeong, President Hyeon. (Hyeong - Older brother)
This is our cafe president, Shin Ae Gyeong. Give your greetings.
Hello.
He's so good looking.
You don't need to say that.
Why did the two of you arrive together?
Sit down first.
What are you doing?
What's with your expression?
Why are both of you here together?
Haven't you heard that a husband should follow his wife?
Why do you say that?
What did I do?
Hyeong-nim, don't you have anything good to eat? (Hyeongnim - Respected older brother)
This is something that I just made.
No need to hurry. Just enjoy the taste slowly.
Give me some advice after eating. Our boss doesn't want to eat.
Hyeong-nim, your cooking skills are very good!
You see? People like me.
Give it a try. It's very delicious.
I'm afraid I'm gaining weight.
Adding some meat to your bones will make you more sexy.
Seok Bong you've become a pig, right?
My body is already very well-proportioned.
I'm much stronger than the average woman.
Have you seen it? Have you?
What are you doing?
You must've been very surprised.
No, I wasn't.
Should we go and have a drink by ourselves?
I said I'm fine.
Look at me.
In the beginning of dating, two people are holding hands...
Once one lets go of the hand of the other, it seems like it's the end.
Are you saying that I'm the only one holding on?
There are also people who haven't grab hold of each other and just ended.
But, at least you've tried holding on.
That's why it hurts more.
You have to be happy for me to be at ease.
This is something I really don't want to say.
It looks like... you must let go of my brother.
Just look at me once. Just once.
What time is it already? Why did you drink so much?
Hey, get up! Sang Hi! Get up! Get up!
The person you mentioned is Ah Jeong, isn't it? I'm right, right?
Hyeong...
What?
Can you hit me once? Hit me once, just once.
Crazy guy... why do you want me to hit you?
What should I do?
Aigoo!
Just spit it out.
What? Divorce?
Study abroad?
Even attempted suicide?
Guys, don't be like that.
We're so worried. We thought you wanted to die.
Instead of dying, she went on a vacation.
These days with Jae Bum, it?s like our honeymoon.
What's that?
We've been like newlyweds recently.
Hey, I have a big news. It's a surprise.
What is it again?
What is it?
Even if I want to go study abroad, I can't go because of Ah Jeong.
What is it exactly?
Don't be surprised. Ah Jeong confessed to me that her marriage was a lie.
What?
Her wedding was a fraud.
Ah Jeong told me herself. She lied because she was mad at me for marrying Jae Beom.
What?
But, she seems to love someone still.
What?
Who? Who is it?
Who else?
Hyeon Gi Jun?
That's right. What's more surprising is Hyeon Gi Jun has another woman.
That's big news!
I saw them with my own eyes. That's why I can't die and can't study abroad.
I'm afraid you all would cause trouble.
You've set the date for the performance?
Yes, I've scheduled the date, so no problem at all.
Of course, these performance opportunities aren't that much lately.
We're very grateful to you for giving us this opportunity.
Hold on. This one is crooked.
2 lights aren't lit, please check it.
How have you been? You must be busy.
What's the matter?
I miss you. You told me to settle my feelings,
but I can't seem to.
I know you don't like it, but I met Gong Ah Jeong.
I met her and told her what I really feel. It hurt my pride though.
But still, I was able to talk to her sincerely.
Yun Ju, I didn't use to believe in fate.
But, I've changed my mind.
Sometimes we are meant to fall in love with someone we shouldn?t love,
or break up with someone we can?t break up with.
That time, breaking up with you was my fate.
Like you, I also tried hard... but I accepted it.
Now... it's your turn.
Oppa!
I love Gong Ah Jeong.
Just as you said, I don't want to be a coward anymore.
No matter what you say, my ears can't hear it.
In my eyes, I don't see you.
It's me. Let's meet now. Yes... right now.
I heard you met Yun Ju... when did you meet?
What would you do if you know? Nothing would change.
It's only... that I understand Miss Yun Ju a little bit.
Just like before, So Ran gave me so much pain.
I feel like I'm giving the same pain to Miss Yun Ju now.
Now that I look at it, I feel sorry for her.
Then when I get to understand her...
I feel bad.
Are you... alright now?
Yes...
Let me ask you a favor.
From now on, all of the things that happened to you,
you must tell me without leaving any single detail.
What you had for breakfast, what the side dish was...
Whether you feel good or bad, or if you cut or permed your hair...
How many times you wash your hands... I want to know everything.
So, all the things that happened to you...
you should tell me.
And I won't let you hurt on your own anymore.
Never again.
You seem like a different person.
Thank you.
Were you worried about me? That's why you came?
Or did you just come to hug me?
You shaved this morning, and you're shaving again?
Does it look clean?
Are you going on blind date?
If a man is too clean, women wouldn't like it.
President's cleanliness is a bit too much.
What about the car?
It's very clean.
The interior has been hand-scrubbed, too.
But, where are you going looking like this?
It's a secret.
President...
Are you still working?
=Yeah. I've been hanging out with you a lot that my work has been delayed.=
You must be tired. Hurry up and go home.
Looks like somebody came.
I'll open the door.
=Don't simply open the door to anyone.=
=There are a lot of bad guys recently.=
Don't worry.
What are you doing?
Is your father inside?
What do you think you're doing?
Please let me in.
Where are you going?
Just a moment...
What's going on?
How do you do?
Have a drink.
Yes, Uncle.
You are that cherry blossom, aren't you?
What?
Do you know how much Ah Jeong cried when she saw the cherry blossoms wither?
Dad!
Drink up!
Yes.
You thief!
Hurry, drink it up.
Yes.
Here.
Dad, drink slowly.
Was she dazzling?
What?
I'm referring to when you both first met.
I'm asking if my Ah Jeong was dazzling?
She was like Polaris, the reincarnation of falling star.
Let's drink up.
Yes.
Dad!
Are you drunk?
No, I am not...
Dad!
You need to stay put.
Uncle, you can really... really drink!
What are you talking about?
You still want to drink?
Dad!
Father!
Gi Jun!
Father!
I am not drunk yet!
Ah Jeong!
Ah Jeong's here..
Ah Jeong is here, Ah Jeong.
Ah Jeong!
What do you like about him?
He is handsome!
His eyebrows are not thicker than father's,
Though he has more hair than I do...
But he still won't do.
He's tall.
What's the use of man's height?
It's only used to hold on the handle in the bus.
He doesn't ride a bus.
What? He doesn't ride a bus?
This guy! Hey! Hey! Hyeon-goon. (goon is added to address a lad)
Hyeon-goon! Get up quickly!
- Dad. - At such a young age to... aigoo...
Get out now...
My dad is the best! Thank you for the meal.
I won.
What?
You passed out first.
What are you saying?
I saw you pass out before me.
You saw?
But I still won.
Why?
I woke up first, didn't I? So, it's considered I won.
Father, you can't say you won because of that.
It is clear that I won.
You are really an interesting fellow.
Ah! Stop it!
Let's just eat.
Father won and Gi Jun won, too.
Being a legal scholar, I do not like the ambiguity.
Law school people, can't be irrational.
You must say it clearly.
Ah! Please stop it!
The smell of alcohol...
How much did you drink?
Did you check on what I asked you?
That, the ticket sales rates are pretty low.
Only 5% or so.
And even with free tickets, I'd have to consider twice about going.
That, in fact, the intention is very good.
But modern people are more likely to
go forth daringly, adding a number of elements to an item.
Isn't it too traditional?
Traditional?
What's the point of doing something that everyone already knows?
You must have courage to challenge what other people dare not to.
Why are you... why are you angry at me, President?
It's because of your tone. It's just not good to hear.
Hello.
I'll get to the point.
Chairman Chen's side is being strange.
Why?
My spy at Great Hotel has reported to me.
They said that they've started to get in contact with Chairman Chen.
Looks like they're reviewing and actively cooperating desperately.
I understand.
Although I've thought of this possibility... I did not expect it to be so quick.
Affairs Officer, ticket sales rate is going up.
Really?
Really, really, the sales rate went up a lot!
But now, it's still only 5%!
Representative Park is the one responsible for the low ticket sales.
That's true, too.
Affairs Officer, you've worked hard.
Fighting! Fighting!
You've come.
Today, I got to know how interesting Representative Park is.
Madam Seo, you should feel happy, right?
How envious I am of you...
If he and Yun Ju are happy, then that is my greatest happiness.
Yun Ju will be happier in the future.
Because of cooperation with Chairman Chen, it looks like President Hyeon
has become very busy.
It would've been better if he was here.
That's right.
But...
This situation still needs Representative Park's support.
Ah! I understand.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
I heard that Chairman Chen met people from Great Hotel.
I also received the report.
What do you intend to do?
You plan to just watch on the sidelines?
Sit and just watch?
Though you said to bear responsibility,
shouldn't you come up with a plan?
First of all, now is the time to redo career development planning books.
And also look for investment from other companies.
You know this too,
in order to enter the Chinese market,
working with Chairman Chen is the only way handle this.
It can't be resolved by just finding other investors.
I know that.
So...
Today...
Madam Seo, Representative Park and I had lunch together,
Representative Park has been living in China all this time,
You know this, right?
It's a relief that,
when Rep. Park was in China,
he greatly helped Chairman Chen in his expansion to South Korea.
Therefore...
You...
With Yun Ju.
Aunt.
You're hoping that I'll be with Yun Ju, who's got her act together?
Do you want me to start over again with her?
Whether you date or marry Yun Ju...
or break up with her,
it does not matter to me what you do,
I'm an entrepreneur.
At least now, at a moment like this,
no matter what, we have to grab hold of Representative Park.
Aunt.
Representative Park
is the last resort to make Chairman Chen change his mind.
Didn't he say he was at home?
Why are you not taking my call?
Yun Ju! Yun Ju?
Why did you sleep here?
Yun Ju. Yun Ju?
Omo, Yun Ju! (Omo - Oh My)
Hello, Chairman Hyeon...
Yun Ju is here at the hospital.
No.
It is not very serious.
It is because of stress.
The doctor advised taking medicine and adequate rest. There should be no problem.
But I can't attend the appointment tomorrow.
I'm really sorry.
Okay.
Honey.
This is our Yun Ju.
It's your daughter, right?
The probability of working with Great Hotel is very high.
But...
If the shareholders know that Chairman Chen suddenly changed his mind,
Don't say anymore.
I will solve my own problem.
How are you going to solve it?
There is still time before the final decision.
Let's wait and see.
Furthermore, Chairman Chen...
is absolutely not a person who makes decisions lightly.
No matter what, I will resolve this.
You can all leave now.
Yes.
Are you busy? I am even busier.
Eat before you continue.
What is the matter, Auntie?
Yun Ju is hospitalised.
Even if you have matters on hand, you have to go to the hospital right now.
If Madam Seo and Representative Park dislike you,
All of Chairman Chen's investment would be gone.
Auntie,
Do not fall sick.
Where are you going, President?
I am going out for a while.
Where are you going?
The concert performance is not open for admission.
Please come this way. Please, this way.
A lot of people came.
A lot of tickets were sold.
There's still a lot of time.
We should all go.
I think so too.
Then continue on preparing.
Yes.
To the ladies and gentlemen who are here to attend this concert to promote our traditional music,
thank you for coming.
Before the performance starts,
let me first introduce, our main supporter for this performance,
Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Affairs Officer Gong Ah Jeong,
to everybody.
Hello everybody, I am Gong Ah Jeong.
To promote our traditional music,
is what our Ministry of Culture and Tourism
started to work on from about a year ago.
This time is the first performance that we are proceeding with.
The aim of this concert is to discover our traditional music that we are forgetting now.
It is hoped that under the care of many people,
it can possibly be revived in full bloom again.
Our traditional music,
let the show begin.
Great effort.
You did well.
What do you think you're doing?
What's wrong?
You bought some of the tickets?
I am asking you, how many did you buy?
Ah... just a few.
How many did you buy?
A... lot...
50?
No.
100?
No.
300?
500?
How can you do something like this?
Why are you making a fool of someone?
I didn't even know that.
Wait.
Since this is a well-planned event,
I thought a lot of people will come to see it.
So I gave out a lot of tickets,
and told them it's all complimentary tickets.
Why didn't they come?
Such disloyalty.
Who wanted it to turn out like this?
I still thought I did this on my very own ability, and was very pleased all along.
Before I went on stage,
my heart was all over the place.
How can you make someone so embarrassed?
Ah, that...
I thought you'd like it if it was sold out.
So I bought them.
I am really speechless.
Gong Ah Jeong!
It's beautiful!
You scared me!
You were surprised, right?
I'm relieved.
I was worried that you weren't going to be surprised.
About the tickets,
I didn't know the right way to handle it.
Because you worked so hard,
I didn't want you to be disappointed.
I'm sorry.
I think I'm learning little by little.
I'm learning ways to match Gong Ah Jeong.
Isn't it pretty?
I told you to go see Yun Ju.
Why didn't you go?
If you want to talk about this, let's just end it.
What is wrong with you?
Why are you giving up the easier and obvious path?
Why do you always want to take the harder path?
I have looked into Gong Ah Jeong.
Aunt.
Let me explain to you clearly.
Enough, this is my private life.
I don't want to mix this with business dealings.
You have risen to the position of the president of World Hotel solely by you own abilities.
Therefore, you should know this better than anyone else.
Business is not as clean and simple as you think.
At least on this matter, you have to listen to me.
Aunt.
Listen to me.
If you continue to treat Yun Ju like a stranger...
The dinner with Representative Park's family today,
no matter what, you have to attend it.
This is your last chance.
Yes? This is Gong Ah Jeong.
What?
Yes.
I heard you went to Jeju Island.
Yes, Minister.
It must have been very hard convincing the Japanese judge.
Regardless, you have worked hard.
Well, I just did my part of it.
However, previously, you mentioned that World Hotel's president, Hyeon Gi Jun and you,
... are married?
Is it?
Then, do you know Representative Park Seung Gun?
Representative Park Seung Gun?
I don't know. I've never seen him before.
As far as I know,
Representative Park's daughter and World Hotel's President Hyeon Gi Jun
are getting married.
Why did you tell such a lie?
Although I do not know the reason why you lied,
you are an Affairs Officer of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
However, if you have a scandal with a president with business relations,
how would the outsiders think of you?
Since you made some achievements previously,
this time, just forget it.
There's no next time for such unpleasant matters to happen again.
I am sorry.
Wouldn't wearing something more beautiful be better?
It's not beautiful?
No.
My daughter looks good in anything she wears.
It should be alright to just wear like this to meet Stepfather.
Chairman Hyeon will also be there.
And, Gi Jun will there as well.
Mom.
There is no other meaning to this.
Just a dinner together.
I do not know if I've called a very busy person out for dinner.
No, it is not.
It is Representative Park who is even busier.
I am sorry.
Been late for quite a while...
Exactly.
This child has never been late for anything.
Excuse me for a moment.
-=Where are you?=-
-=Today, I am in a depressed mode.=-
-=I need some cheering up.=-
Hello.
Where are you now?
How can you not keep to the agreed upon appointment time?
I did not promise anything.
It's not like I'm telling you to decide your relationship with Yun Ju right now.
You said you would separate business and relationship,
Then you better come over immediately!
This is business.
It is something that is related to the future of our company.
Sorry, Chairman.
Gi Jun!
As your Aunt who raised you like my own son, I am begging you.
Even if I let others manage,
I can't let Great Hotel, which I've fought with my entire life,
take away the opportunity to enter China's market!
You understand what your aunt's thinking, right?
Auntie,
Gi Jun...
All right.
Hello?
Where are you?
At the office.
Still there?
Yes, there are many things that needs to be done today.
Looks like you've been rather busy.
Didn't even return my text messages.
I am sorry.
What's wrong with your voice?
I am already very depressed.
But it feels like you are more depressed than I am.
No.
When will you be done?
I'll go to your workplace to find you.
There is no need.
I'll give you a call after work.
I hate misunderstanding and suspicions.
Initially, I wanted to keep the difficulties to myself.
Do you know Representative Park?
I should not have mentioned it.
I feel gloomy today, out of the blue.
Never mind what I said.
Dating Korea?s busiest man Hyeon Gi Jun,
even if I'd like to see you,
I should endure, right?
You should go back to work. Give me a call after work.
Ah Jeong!
What?
It's nothing.
I will call you after I finish my work.
Sorry, I should not mention this,
but I really want to see you.
The dinner today with Representative Park and his family,
No matter what, you must attend.
This is the last chance.
Do you know who Representative Park is?
Oppa, you told me to settle my feelings...
But I just can't settle it.
On a day like this, it would be nice to have him by my side.
He doesn't even reply to my text message,
How can a boyfriend be like that?
I don't know why, but I miss you especially much today.
Why do you look so restless?
Hello?
I'm sorry.
For calling late.
It does not matter.
You must've been busy that you can't even go to the bathroom.
Of course, I am very busy.
But what's wrong with your expression?
Do you know how tough it was for me today?
Do you know how much I wanted to see you?
