Episode 14 Subtitles by DramaFever
Did you order to have it done, Director Gook?
I...
Why? Why did you do it?
Because you wouldn't listen.
Why?
- Are you not happy about it? - You ruined my work!
You've ruined something that everyone has worked so hard to achieve!
You're the one who ruined it!
You're the one who's ruining CEO Cha and the company!
I asked you for your help.
I told you that I could protect CEO Cha's dreams.
I told you that I was in love with CEO Cha.
Are you planning on taking advantage of the guilt he feels as your ex-husband?
What are you hoping to change by pathetically clinging on to him like that?
Enough.
Whether it's a sense of guilt or just regret that he feels...
that's a problem between us two.
It's not something for you to get involved in.
'Us two'?
You're speaking as if you two have already reconciled?
Oh my goodness.
Is that what you really thought?
Yes.
I have thought about it.
There's no reason why we can't.
Whether it was out of a sense of guilt or regret
I was shaken up because of the feelings that I had for him.
Just why it is that we couldn't start over again
and since we've already been through it once
perhaps we'd be better at it the second time around.
The way he made my heart flutter had to mean that things were going to be okay.
I would ponder and think about it countless times a day.
Yes, it's true.
It does scare me to see how much we've both changed these past few years.
But that's all it is, and I'm even more cautious because of it.
You don't see why you two can't get back together...
And things will be better the second time around?
Don't you think that sounds ridiculous?
I can see now that the one who's truly damaged here is you.
You say that I'm taking advantage of Jung Woo's sense of guilt over me?
You use the excuse of having helped Jung Woo through his difficult times at work
to take advantage of his gratefulness to keep him near you.
What is it that you're so afraid of?
Are you not able to control Jung Woo's feelings like you thought you'd be able to?
Yeo Jin! Are you okay?
Ae Ra.
What happened?
I...
Yeo Jin.
Cha Jung Woo!
I told her over and over not to skip any of her checkups on her prosthetic.
But she kept canceling her checkups due to her busy work schedule
and she's now developed a severe infection on her leg around the electrode connection
of her prosthetic from chronic stress.
It's critical for her to get plenty of rest and recuperate for the next few weeks.
How's my sister?
She's asleep.
How could you have kept this from me?
What am I supposed to do with this guilt that I'm feeling?
- So you actually do feel guilty? - How can you even say that?
My sister asked me to keep it a secret.
I'm sure she didn't want anyone's sympathy over of her leg.
If she just stayed with you by your side and protected you from everything...
she must've thought that would get you to fall in love with her.
Both my father, and my sister...
and even me...
Now that I think about it, I think we all love in similar ways.
But my mom still left my dad...
and you abandoned my sister.
So how do you think I'll end up?
I already told you how I felt about Ae Ra.
I told you that I'm going to start over with her.
It no longer matters to me whether or not you plan on starting over with her.
Must you really do this?
Ae Ra and I...
Didn't you tell me that you'd do your best to protect us both?
But...
there's no need for you to protect me.
Because I've already abandoned you, and cast you aside.
If you truly intend on protecting Ae Ra prepare to put your life on the line.
Because...
I'm going to do whatever I have to do to keep Ae Ra by my side.
Min Young.
Min Young, are you in the bathroom?
Min Young.
Why are you crying?
What happened?
- What am I going to do? - What is it?
I think I'm pregnant. I'm so scared.
I'm scared to death.
You're killing me!
You should've been more careful!
- How long has it been? - The thing is... it was just one time.
Let me see.
No, you're not.
What? I'm not?
But what is this thing then?
I wasn't crying because I'm unhappy about it. It was because it was just so sudden.
Because I like Soo Chul so much.
When I thought about a baby with Soo Chul... it made me feel so happy.
I'm sorry, Ae Ra.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.
Don't cry.
Ae Ra.
Min Young.
Our baby...
was my hope.
I really...
I really wanted to protect our baby.
But I ended up losing our baby.
You need to forget about that now.
How can I forget about our baby?
If I forget about our baby too...
then our baby will become so pitiful.
A baby that leaves this earth while still in its mother's womb...
finds a way to be born to a really wonderful set of parents.
I'm sure...
that your baby has already found its way to a really wonderful set of parents by now.
Okay?
I thought...
that since I could endure all of the difficulties...
I must've thought that our baby would do the same.
You couldn't do anything about it either.
You were always so busy working to try to pay the rent and keep food on the table
that you never even had any time to rest.
But I was the mommy.
I should've protected my baby better.
Min Young.
I...
I was always so exhausted all the time...
that I never even played any beautiful music for my baby.
I never even got to tell Jung Woo about the baby...
so my baby never even once got to hear daddy's voice.
Maybe I should've told him about the baby.
Maybe if I had...
If I had, then maybe Jung Woo and I...
Don't cry, Ae Ra.
Jung Woo.
Min Young.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Ae Ra.
Yeah?
I'm sorry.
I'll be better.
It shames me to know...
that it's already too late to say this now...
but I can't think of anything else to say to you other than those words right now.
Jung Woo.
Yeah?
Say whatever it is that you have to say.
Don't be good to me.
I...
don't know...
what to make of your feelings...
or my feelings either.
I'm not sure of anything right now.
I feel too afraid.
Ae Ra.
- I... - We've...
already failed once at it.
I don't want to fail like that ever again.
Getting hurt like that... once was more than enough.
I'm not going to hurt you again.
I promise that I won't leave you to be alone ever again.
Jung Woo.
I'm sorry.
I know that you asked me to give you a chance.
Ae Ra.
- Let's talk face to face. - No.
I like it like this.
Not looking at you in the face... makes it easier for me to talk to you.
What can I do?
Tell me what it is that I can do.
Don't do anything.
Just leave me be.
I gave them some privacy so that they could get it on
so why are they still talking so much?
Ae Ra.
Okay...
I'll do as you ask.
I'll just leave you be if that's what you want.
If not seeing me puts you more at ease, then I'll make sure to stay away.
But please...
just don't cast me aside.
Where's CEO Cha?
Oh... I think he had to get back to work.
He stayed here all night, and left just a few minutes ago.
Okay.
You should get some rest. You need to rest and recuperate.
Get some sleep.
The doctor said that you need to get plenty of rest for a while.
No.
I need to get myself together and get back to the office.
Why?
Because you're too afraid to leave Jung Woo and Ae Ra alone together?
I've known about it all along.
I know about Jung Woo and Ae Ra's past together.
I also know that Jung Woo likes Ae Ra.
But don't worry too much about it.
Because like you...
I don't want to see Jung Woo and Ae Ra getting back together.
It's total and utter chaos at the office.
We made such a huge production of promoting that designer authentication show
then we cancel it on the day of it airing right before it was supposed to go on air
by putting up a little message of apology for sudden cancellation of the show.
Since Na Ae Ra was the MD in charge... she'll probably get punished for it, right?
Why are you concerning yourself with that?
It's only because Na Ae Ra
was solely responsible for turning our company into a complete laughingstock.
There's going to be countermeasure meeting later on this afternoon.
I'm sure they'll talk about how to take care of this situation during that meeting.
Ae Ra.
Don't worry about it too much.
It was absurd right from the start to trust an intern with such a huge responsibility.
- Okay. - Keep your chin up, okay?
Yes, Na Ae Ra speaking.
I'm calling from the HR Department at Tongil Shilla Hotel.
Just a moment please.
When can you start?
We would like for you to start as soon as possible.
Yes, I can start as soon as I get things wrapped up here.
Yes, I understand.
As you all already know...
Director Gook isn't here for personal reasons.
So we must commence with the meeting on our own today.
Just like the submitted report stated
we have discovered that someone had mistakenly placed a knockoff item
in the place where the real purse should've been hanging.
So that is why we had to cancel the show right before the show went on air.
We still haven't confirmed if that was just an accident or intentional.
In... intentional?
I can't help but question just who you think would intentionally do such an awful thing.
A competitor of ours could've bribed someone to do it.
And I also heard that the MD in charge is one of your interns.
So it could be that she had a grudge against the company and did it out of spite.
That would make no sense.
Because the person who noticed that the real bag was swapped out with a fake one...
was none other than Ms. Na Ae Ra, the MD in charge.
Just as Director Jung had stated...
if Ms. Na Ae Ra had accepted a bribe from one of our competitors
or had a grudge against our company...
I doubt that she would've pointed out that the real purse had been swapped out.
Don't you agree?
Pointing fingers at each other isn't what's really important right now.
But it's to find a way to recover from the damage that's been done to our image.
Don't you all agree?
I'm sorry for being late.
I guess you haven't heard the news yet.
Please allow me to formally introduce myself.
My name is Gook Seung Hyun, and I will be acting on behalf of
Director Gook Yeo Jin during her leave of absence.
Ah! Gook Seung Hyun and Gook Yeo Jin.
Why haven't I figured that out sooner?
I wonder if I've made any mistakes. I don't know what to do.
You've known about this, haven't you, Team Leader Wang?
How is that any important right now?
I personally think that it's pathetic to suck up to someone
just because they might be related to someone in power.
Seriously... I always knew he seemed more refined.
Had I known, I would've been nicer to him.
I'll be filling in for Director Gook temporarily while she's out on her leave.
I realize how uncomfortable it may be to have your intern suddenly become a director.
No, not at all, Director Gook.
Please think of all the times we've worked together, and take good care of me.
Yes, of course.
Don't just ignore me if we happen to run into each other in the hallway, okay?
Yes, Director Gook.
Especially you, Ms. Na Ae Ra.
Yes?
Stop pretending not to see me, and can I talk to you for a moment?
Oh my goodness. What's with those two?
What if he plays favorites with Ae Ra just because they used to be fellow interns?
Are you mad?
No.
Were you really shocked?
I'm sorry for having deceived you.
I just wanted you to know me for who I am without any preconceived notions.
If I could've had my say, I would've remained as your fellow intern to the very end.
You're not hiding anything else from me, are you?
There's one more thing that I haven't told you.
I...
have a personal relationship with CEO Cha as well.
To be more accurate...
we're like family, and he's been like a big brother to me ever since I was little.
CEO Cha used to be my little brother's tutor.
So it was through my little brother that I found out that his business was struggling.
And also the fact that you're CEO Cha's...
I mean...
I also know that you're Jung Woo's ex-wife.
To be honest, I was feeling unsure and quite confused for some time now.
But I've made up my mind now.
Even though Jung Woo is a very important person to me...
if I had to choose just one...
I'd choose you.
I made this with some wild ginseng that I received as a gift not too long ago.
Why don't you give it a try?
It has a wonderful aroma.
Even though Director Gook is taking some time off...
her absence isn't having any negative effect on the business operations.
Please... take Seung Hyun out of the picture.
Let's just say...
that we get rid of Seung Hyun like you suggest that we do.
Then Yeo Jin won't be there either, so I won't have any of my people there.
If that happens, then who's going to represent and protect my money?
Even though you may not think much of it, a company has rules and regulations to upkeep.
A promotions that has an intern become a director overnight...
do you know how demeaning that is to the rest of my employees?
Seung Hyun is a very smart kid.
Please give him a chance to climb up the ladder of his own skills.
If you wanted to exert some authority...
from having invested into my company...
then I'll accept that.
But it's not like you're the only investor that my company has.
We need to give the other investors a chance to have a say in this matter.
I will call an immediate board meeting with the rest of the investors.
I've already taken care of that.
There will be a meeting with the rest of the investors tomorrow.
Instead of just sitting around here like this, why don't you go prepare for the meeting?
You're finally starting to act like my child.
Don't act so smug about it.
The game that CEO Cha is currently in the stages of developing
keeps getting pushed back in its release date and thus causing danger to the company.
Even though this project was funded solely by a group of investors.
Do you remember how this is a project that you all opposed from its inception?
I think the time has come for you to take responsibility for its outcome.
Okay, I'll assume responsibility for it.
Just as Director Gook has just stated
I've poured all of your investments into this new program.
Since the money has already been spent
don't you think that we should first wait and see what will become of it?
The game is almost through its development stage
and it'll be released as soon as it completes the testing stage.
But releasing the program won't be the only way to gauge its outcome.
To recoup the investment put into it and garnering the goal it was intended for
is the true outcome that we need to see.
In which case, when do you think we can expect to see those results, CEO Cha?
Within three months of its release...
I will ensure that you recoup all your investments...
and by the end of the year...
I vow to bring in the profits that this program is aiming for.
Those are pretty lofty goals.
We'll wait with high expectations since you're known for your great sense of responsibility.
Couldn't you have knocked first? Were you like this with my sister too?
Just what is your reason for taking it to these extremes?
Even though you're good with your machines, you're not very good with people.
I just decided that this isn't a very good investment that you're making.
Even though I only lucked into this position, I should still do a good job at it.
By the way...
I noticed that the company focuses too much on only software development.
It's because this company was started with that being its focus.
I think I'm going to give more attention to the design aspect too.
Don't you think that it's time for you to learn to appreciate something more artistic?
I'll submit my business ideas to you.
Ah... and the reason for my behavior right now isn't solely based on my personal feelings.
So you should try to remain objective about this too.
Not bad, Gook Seung Hyun.
Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know that this isn't just purely personal.
Okay.
You may be right.
I'll take this opportunity and give it some careful consideration.
Just how I'm doing as the CEO of this company...
and your proposals as well.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I mean...
Thank you in advance for all your hard work.
Our newly appointed Director Gook.
I heard that the investors are trying to fault CEO Cha and make him step down from his seat?
CEO Cha's current project is causing all sorts of trouble for the company right now.
If that program doesn't do well, then he might even get axed.
No, way.
He started this company, so how can they kick him out?
Don't you know what happened to Steve Jobs?
Even that genius ultimately got fired from the company which he started
from butting heads with his board of directors all the time.
Sister-in-law Na.
Ex-sister-in-law Na.
Are those rumors true?
- The rumors of the company being in trouble? - Ah, that?
There's always an element of danger in operating a company.
But...
it is true that this is the biggest danger we've ever faced since starting the company.
Is Jung Woo... okay?
Na Ae Ra was extremely concerned about you.
Ae Ra was?
How do you know that?
I ran into her on my way here.
The expression on her face totally changed when she heard you were struggling.
I didn't want to cause her any concern.
Don't do anything.
You're not going to call her?
Is dad really sick?
I see. Okay, I'll come to the house after work.
- You didn't see her? - Come on, who do you think you're talking to?
Hang on.
- Senior. - Hi, Ae Ra.
Get a little closer. I can't see her at all!
We almost got caught.
- Where's Ae Ra? - Hang on.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
Wow, she's one cold lady. Or... maybe it's because her father is sick?
Father-in-law is ill?
How are you liking your job as a customer care representative?
- That position is a bit... - How did father-in-law get injured?
It's the same old story.
He was trying to show off in front of all the hiking ladies when he hurt himself.
So what else can we do about it? I have to work overtime tonight.
So Ae Ra has to go home and help out at the family restaurant.
- But she thinks... - Soo Chul.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Where are you going, Jung Woo?
My position...
Ae Ra... and 'Jung Woo'?
Then... you're saying that Na Ae Ra is CEO Cha's ex-wife?
Enjoy your meal.
Ugh, my back.
- Mom, is the order ready? - Here it is.
Ugh, I feel so awful about this. You already worked a full day at the office.
It's okay.
But didn't you say that a huge group is coming in for dinner in a bit?
Yes, they are! We need as many helping hands as we can get
but look at how your dad is just uselessly sitting there complaining of his aching back.
Welcome.
I'll get it.
Wow, that's hot.
I didn't ask him to come.
- Table Five needs more side dishes please. - Yeah, okay.
Why don't you go in and get some rest? I can take care of the work out here.
You know how strong my arms are.
You know how strong I am, don't you?
I had actually already won that chicken fight the other day....
But if someone is sitting here in this spot...
how is that person supposed to reach the spicy chicken all the way over here?
Here, I'll demonstrate it for you so watch closely at what happens.
Let's just say that there's a person sitting here.
I'll be able to reach the spicy chicken over here since I have really long arms.
but think of yourself sitting here in this chair.
You won't be able to reach the chicken with your short arms.
So how do you expect to be able to eat the chicken?
Those side dishes aren't what's important right now.
Ae Ra.
Okay, here are the soup and rice which will guarantee that you'll pass your exams.
Then are you saying that everyone who eats
the soup and rice here will all pass the civil exams?
I really didn't want to have to say this.
Don't you recognize who I am?
You're him, aren't you?
CEO Cha Jung Woo of DonTalk!
I'm a total fan of yours!
Me too! You came to my class at Seoul University to give a special lecture.
You were there for the lecture?
But... why are you here working like this?
Are you doing community service or something?
I ate the soup and rice bowl here everyday for an entire year
and passed my civil exam on my first try.
It's a way of repaying my gratitude back to society.
- Have a seat, and enjoy your meal. - Thank you for this nice meal.
- Everyone enjoy your meal. - More kkakdduki over here please.
Hey.
Those rumors really must be true.
Those rumors of D&T close to being brought down to a ruin.
I know.
Why else would the CEO of a company be serving tables at a place like this?
That's what I'm saying.
Yes, kkakdduki. I'll bring some out right away.
Why is Jung Woo doing all this? He's making me feel really uncomfortable.
I'm sure he's just trying really hard because he wants to work things out.
Since he's trying so hard... should we include him tonight?
What? What are you talking about?
Forget it!
Godori, and bi. (Different card combinations of Go-Stop.)
Come on, take your turn.
You have to be careful what you put down.
- Soo Chul. - Jung Woo.
- Do you have a 'gwang'? Put it down. - Don't listen to her.
You're going to give me the 'bird', aren't you?
- Give me my 'godori'. - Put the 'gwang' down.
- Mom. - Yeah?
If Jung Woo gives you the 'gwang' card, how much are you going to give him?
- What? - Jung Woo.
If you play the godori card, then I'll give you half my winnings.
Your words can't be trusted. You always change your mind in the end.
My word is as good as gold.
- You heard what he said, right? - Yes.
In that case...
Father.
Gwang!
Jung Woo! You're the best!
Look at all my cards! I only needed that one more card!
- Look at all the cards you have! - You're both 'Bak'!
You all owe me double.
I'm going home.
- You're leaving already? - I have to work in the morning.
- Six, seven... - Mom, I'm going to head out.
- Be careful going home, okay? - Aren't you coming?
- I'm coming too. - I'll come with you too.
You can't leave. Not with all my money.
No, you stay right there. Deal the cards, Sook Ja.
You can't leave after taking all our money.
- I'm going to make you owe me double. - Deal me a good hand, okay?
What are you doing? You should wait and leave with Jung Woo.
I felt so bad for Jung Woo earlier.
He was trying so hard to please you while tiptoeing around you.
I know that you like Jung Woo too.
What is it that you're so afraid of?
Is it because of Seung Hyun?
Or is it because of that Director Gook Yeo Jin or whatever?
Let's just get going, Min Young.
Things must be so difficult for you right now.
Manager Kang.
Since the moment I started my company... I always knew that I would succeed.
But I'm not so sure about it anymore.
I don't know if maybe I've succeeded too greatly compared to my skill level...
or if I'm even traveling down the road that I'm supposed to right now.
I'm not sure if what I'm doing is the best I could be doing.
I'm on your side no matter what.
Because you're the person whom I have the most faith in besides my own children.
Aren't you lonely, Manager Kang?
After having sent the ones you love the most so far away from you?
But what else can I do about it?
You miss them, don't you?
I do miss them, but I'll just have to endure it.
Since everything I'm doing is for the sake of my family.
Is that how it works?
You have to endure it even if you do miss them?
Is there something else that you're worried about?
I have one too.
Someone whom I miss terribly, but I have to endure the pain of not seeing her.
Why did you drink so much?
Let go!
Let go. I know I may be drunk, but I can still walk.
I'm very good at handling my drinks.
- I'm so sorry. - Just go lay him down in his bed.
He should fall asleep right away as soon as you put a pillow in his hands.
Sure, don't worry and go back to bed. I'll take care of him.
You scoundrel!
What are you staring at! I'm speaking to you as your elder!
- You think you're stronger than me? - He's pretty entertaining.
You've met the wrong guy today!
You're done for.
A pillow.
Ae Ra.
Ae Ra?
Then CEO Cha's still in love with Na Ae Ra?
Ae Ra.
I brought you out here to get some fresh air because you seemed frustrated
but it's been nonstop with those deep sighs of yours.
It's nice out here.
If it's too complicated, then just ignore it.
Who I am, and who I'm related to... just ignore it all.
Or you can just forget about all that completely.
How can I just ignore the facts when I know about them now?
Because knowing the facts doesn't change anything.
Seung Hyun.
I mean, Director Gook.
Ugh, this is all starting to melt. Go on and eat it.
Let's not interrupt my work, okay?
Okay.
Here.
Isn't it amazing?
And it's also pretty meaningful.
You're doing a good job of ignoring things.
This ring was given to me by my mom.
Whether it be art or love, I like for it to be easy and simple.
I don't really like it when it's difficult and complicated.
Now that I've lucked into my current position
I think I want to do a project that I've been thinking of.
I think that could boost up the design aspect of the company for the better as well.
You seem to be thinking about more things since becoming a director.
It's really nice to see that.
I'd like for you to help me.
I think knowing that you're there is going to give me the strength that I need.
I don't know a thing about art.
I'm even more clueless when it comes to designing anything.
You're already doing it.
Because you're giving me the courage and the drive I need to tackle my new task.
Ta da.
This is the soda can tab that you had stuck on your finger.
This is?
How did you even make this?
See? You give me the drive I need to work.
Seung Hyun.
- I got the job at the hotel. - I know.
But I know that the decision is yours to make.
All I'm asking for... is for you to give me a chance.
CEO Cha.
Are you feeling any better?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I should've paid closer attention.
I didn't want you to know.
Because I wanted you to see me as just another normal woman.
But it's a relief...
to see that the glint in your eyes hasn't changed when you look at me.
I'll try to get out of the hospital as soon as possible.
Let's go to the States together as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital.
I'm sure we can find some new investors over in the States.
I'm sorry, Yeo Jin.
My words...
of thanks for having you by my side...
only made things even more difficult for you.
Yeo Jin.
I can't be the man that you need.
I'm sorry.
For being too late with these words.
I really am grateful for everything that you've done for me.
This leaf is dying.
It's the same spot that I had to cut away before from it rotting, right?
Yes, it seems that you're right.
I'm not sure why it keeps rotting when you're caring for it so carefully.
Why do you think?
It's because I didn't take care of it right. It's the root that's rotting.
So what difference does it make when I just keep trimming away at the leaf?
It's time to throw it out!
My money that I've invested into CEO Cha's company...
pull all my money out immediately!
Yes?
Yes, I understand.
Are you doing any better?
I really didn't want to have you see me like this.
But I've asked you to come here because there is something that I must say to you.
Have a seat.
Do you even have any idea how much danger CEO Cha is in right now?
CEO Cha could end up losing his company.
What do you mean by that?
Don't look at me with that blank expression and act like you don't know what's going on.
Because that makes me feel sick to my stomach.
- I... - It's all because of you!
Jung Woo is going to be ruined because of you.
You are nothing but an uneducated loser.
Get lost immediately.
Stop only pretending like you're going to leave
and just get lost immediately!
Get lost!
I said, get lost!
Get lost!
- Let go! Let go of me! - Don't do this.
Seung Hyun... what am I going to do?
If Jung Woo leaves me... what am I going to do?
Everything...
that you've worked so hard to build...
You're willing to risk losing it all?
- Is that what you're telling me? - It doesn't matter.
Yes, it's true that I may be ruined if you pull your investment out of my company.
It's even possible that I may never be able to recover from it.
But just because I may end up losing everything...
I still won't trade in my marriage for your money.
Please CEO Cha.
Can't you save me just this once?
You're the only one who can save my Yeo Jin.
Chairman Gook.
Yeo Jin and her leg...
that all...
happened because of me.
I'm responsible for what happened to her. Please help me just this once.
If Yeo Jin stays in her current state, she could threaten to kill herself again.
So please save my Yeo Jin again just like you did three years ago.
If you'll do that for me, I'll give you everything that I have.
I'll give you everything that I have if you'll go to Yeo Jin and save her from herself.
Please get up off the floor.
I have nothing to offer anyone but money. So can't you save me just this once more?
I'm begging you! Please save me just this once!
I'm sorry, Chairman Gook.
But my mind cannot be changed.
Even if you could end up losing everything?
Even then?
Yes.
