Episode 26
Sweetie.
Honey!
Welcome, Yeonhui.
Honey...
Don't!
What are you doing?
What are you trying to do?
Tell me!
I won't say I'm sorry.
I'm just simply not sorry.
Why not?
Because I did it for our love.
How can you say that right now?
I refuse to be your secret mistress.
You don't think I'm foolish enough
to wait around forever, do you?
Lee Hwayeong...
Byeongguk didn't come home last night.
He didn't call at all last night?
I don't know if I should
continue to see a man who's already married.
Did you try on that lingerie I gave you?
Well? Did your husband like it?
What's gotten into you? This isn't like you.
Take that off now! You look cheap!
What did your husband give you?
Don't see her anymore.
Grace Lee
What is your problem?
Don't touch my cell phone!
You better be on your toes, Yeonhui.
What if someone steals him away from you?
Even I'd want to do that!
Yeonhui? It's late. Is something wrong?
Hello? Yeonhui?
You knew all along, didn't you?
You knew, right?
Yeonhui...
How could you?
If you knew, why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you tell me?
Where are you? I'll come see you.
Where are you right now?
Mr. Yu, did you work overtime today?
Nice! I did too!
Want to go get some beers?
Seongbin!
Geez! How could he ignore me like this?
Yumi, you work for me!
So how could you clock out before me?
What? Which club?
Okay! It's been a while.
What's gotten into Seongbin anyway?
The person you are trying to reach is...
Are you mad?
It was a bridge we had to cross, sooner or later.
Seeing it for herself is way better than
hearing it through the grapevine.
I've made it crystal clear for her.
Don't you agree?
I had no idea you could be so cruel.
I thought I told you this already.
I will not be your mistress in hiding.
I want to love you, out in the open.
You know how feel, don't you?
I'll figure it out. Don't do this!
I was afraid you'd leave me again.
Don't you care?
Everyone will be pointing fingers at us!
I don't care about that.
As long as I have you.
I should get going.
Baek Yeonhui.
This is just the beginning.
I've been so happy, since I've met you.
Even if the sky is falling down,
I'll be by your side.
That's the kind of man I am.
I'm forever sorry. And grateful, too.
You look so beautiful tonight.
Whatever, you little jokester!
Where have you been?
I'm sorry.
How could she...
I need to talk to you.
Come out for a moment.
Okay.
What's going on?
You look awful. Where were you at this hour?
Mother...
Byeongguk...
Byeongguk? What about him?
Well? Tell me!
Did you...
Is this over Grace Lee and Byeongguk?
Mother!
Mother, what will I do now?
How could you do this?
You bastard!
How could you let it come to this?
How could you?
Have you gone completely insane?
What... What have you done? Tell me.
Were you with her?
You bastard!
You are no son of mine!
I raised you with principles! How could you!
Do you like her that much?
Can't you see you're breaking my heart?
And you're breaking Yeonhui's heart, too!
Is that woman worth all that?
You're a father! How will you ever face Jinwu?
Oh! You fool...
Mother...
Stop your charades, Yeonhui.
I can't believe you told mom this.
Mom, I'll figure it all out.
I said, I'll end it with her!
What happened?
What's wrong, Yeonhui?
Are you alright, Huija?
Jinsuk...
Yeonhui knows everything now.
What'll we do?
Huija.
Yelling won't do him any good.
You should coax him, as you would a child.
That would work better.
Imagine how hurt Yeonhui must be!
Just the thought of it makes me cringe!
That awful woman!
How dare she...
Sweetie.
Mom...
Oh, my darling.
I'm right here, my darling.
I love you, my darling son.
Do you love me too?
Yes, mommy. I love you.
Then goodnight, my love.
Honey?
Sora, what's wrong?
You don't seem to have much of an appetite.
Eat heartily, will you?
I'm on a diet, mom.
What?
You're too young for that!
You're just a kid!
I have to, if I want to be pretty like Hwayeong.
Right, Uncle Chansik?
- You're right! / - We're right!
Can't we eat in peace?
You guys are so loud.
Hey!
Let's eat.
How's work going?
Is that contract thing over now?
Yeah.
Shouldn't you go back to the States then?
Yeah.
Aren't you going back?
What is the matter with you?
Before you were dying to get in touch with me,
and now you're dying to send me back?
I'm not going back.
I'm never going back to the States,
so don't bring it up again.
When are you getting married?
Married?
You should get married and
move out to lessen my load!
You're an able-bodied man!
How much longer are you going to
leech off of me?
I have to find a woman first.
Well, do you have someone in mind?
Chef Bae! Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Oh!
Oh, my head!
Ouch, my head.
Nope. None.
So go after Gonghui!
She's a little dim-witted, but she's sweet.
And I'm sure she's saved up a bunch.
Gonghui's so not my type!
I have intellectual standards, you know.
That won't put food on the table, you fool!
Don't be like that! I passed
the first round of the bar
exam twice, mind you!
Right, Sora?
Right!
Let's eat!
Dad!
Yes?
Good morning, Jinwu!
Let's sit down.
Yeonhui, what's the soup today?
It's hot so I made cold seaweed soup.
But I like hot soup in the morning.
Stop your whining and just eat.
By the way, did something happen last night?
I heard a lot of noise in my sleep last night.
Maybe it was just a dream.
You shouldn't stay out so late at night.
And you were so drunk you couldn't
tell dream from reality!
Try some of the soup. It's nice and cool.
Okay.
Umm...
Honey?
That doesn't look good on you.
Wear this one.
Honey?
You'll be late. You should go.
Baek Yeonhui
Hello?
It's me.
I need to see you.
How could you?
If you knew, why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you tell me?
She must have found out
that her husband was cheating on her.
What will I do?
Mr. Yu, let's go have lunch together.
I'm sorry. I have plans already.
Why do you always do this to me?
How many rejections can one girl take?
I thought you knew how I felt...
Forget it.
Sorry.
Junhui...
What's wrong with Junhui?
It's nothing, sir.
Let's go have lunch.
I want to you meet someone.
I have a really important
lunch meeting today, sir.
Oh well. That's too bad.
I'm sorry.
Hello!
Where's Yeonhui?
You should've called first. She just left.
Oh. Did she say where she was going?
Was it Sherry Hotel?
I think she said she's meeting someone there.
Thank you.
Sit down, Yeonhui.
I shouldn't have asked you to come last night.
I should have just told you in person.
I didn't think you would go so low.
What a shame.
I thought you had some class.
I'm going to pretend this didn't happen.
Don't ever see my husband again.
I can't help it.
We have to, even if we don't want to.
You know why.
My company and his have
partnered up for the franchise,
so we will be intimate for much longer.
So how could I not see Byeongguk?
Byeongguk?
Sorry.
I'll call him President Jeong.
You should have a sip of that.
I know you're boiling up inside.
We're friends, so...
You and I are not friends, Hwayeong.
Let's quit this fake friends charade.
Fake friends charade?
That has a nice ring to it.
And all the while, your whole life is fake.
And you're telling me I'm fake?
You're the one who is fake.
Baek Yeonhui, you're the fake, a hypocrite.
You said you really adore Jinwu, right?
Please stop doing this, for his sake.
Stop all this
and go back to the States.
You must think Jinwu's your son.
He's my son.
If you're such a loving mother,
why did you abandon Sora? Why?
I don't think you get it.
As I've said,
my company and his have important
things in the works for our future.
And besides, I don't think
President Jeong would ever let me go.
Yeonhui, you shouldn't ask this of me.
You should convince your husband.
Ask him to come back to you,
beg for him to love you again.
You have no right to treat me like this!
Remember that time
I told you there was a man I used to love
and that recently, I started seeing him again?
I was talking about President Jeong.
We had been apart,
but now, after all those years,
we've fallen in love all over again.
Isn't that what you'd call fate?
But you wouldn't know about fate and love.
Even if you did,
you've probably forgotten all about him.
Since you don't care for love or fate.
Yeonhui! Where are you?
What happened to you?
You haven't been answering
your phone since yesterday.
Seongbin... It's really weird, right?
I mean, why do I always think of you when
something bad happens?
I'm really awful, aren't I?
I'm sorry.
It's nice going for a drive, isn't it?
Is it cheering you up at all?
Shouldn't you get back to the office?
I'm okay.
I'll tell President Baek
that I was out of the office
on official duty to console his daughter.
That I had to do it,
that I had to take you out to cheer you up.
What were you trying to tell me last night?
You know how you said last night
that I knew everything?
And how could I not tell you?
It was nothing.
Yeonhui.
You would call the kind of love I had
with Donghyeon fate, wouldn't you?
If...
If Donghyeon was still alive,
do you think we could love again like that?
Is it okay to have forgotten about him
and go on like this?
Why would you say that?
You're supposed to forget such things.
But I feel so guilty.
And I feel the guilt mounting inside me,
that it scares me, Seongbin.
Why do you feel guilty?
For having loved Donghyeon?
For forgetting him?
For getting married? He's dead!
Why are you being so foolish?
Are you going out, ma'am?
Yes, I'm going out for lunch.
Why haven't you thrown those out yet?
They were gifts so I kept them, but Yeonhui
asked me to throw them out this morning.
Good riddance. Get rid of them.
Have some of this and relax.
Thank you, Ms. Lee.
I wonder what Ms. Jang and the madam
are discussing in the VIP room.
Is it true that Hwayeong and
President Jeong are having an illicit affair?
How could you think that?
You of all people!
Rumors are useless gossip.
So it is true.
Yes, it must be.
Look, Ms. Lee...
The so-called rumor about
you and Ms. Jeong sleeping together
is actually true, too.
That was unavoidable.
By the way, when do you plan on telling
Ms. Jeong that you are Hwayeong's uncle?
Are you going to hide it forever?
She'll give me the axe
the moment she hears it.
She's told me to resign, as it is.
What? To resign?
No way.
Why? Because of what happened?
Is my cutie pie in?
- Hello, professor. / - Suk!
I'm here to see my dear Suk.
Love without reciprocity simply cannot
be true love, Professor Oh.
Pardon?
Such misery only foreshadows tragedy.
To prevent the pain of tragedy,
you must stop now.
It is but a meaningless delusion of your mind.
Oh, my goodness! You are so poetic!
What did you say?
Look here, Chef Bae.
Stop being so pretentious.
Just say what you mean.
I mean, you should give up on Ms. Jeong.
How do you like it?
It's the new dish my chef created.
It's good.
Tell the chef to come in here so
I can give him a hefty bonus.
There's no need for that.
Where are you going?
You said you wanted to see the chef.
And as long as you're at it,
you should go all out. It's a bonus, after all!
You have no idea how much he does for us!
His dishes are to die for!
You're a psych professor!
So why are you so oblivious?
I am a psych professor! So?
What's that got to do with this?
Chef Bae, may I see you for a moment?
President Jeong wants to see you.
Suk, I'm here.
What the... Suk...
What's so funny?
This is what's called the cold shoulder.
Cold shoulder?
But for me, my shoulders are
always hot for you,
hot for you all over actually.
I'm not interested in you or your shoulders.
Professor? Professor!
Professor!
I'm sorry I haven't properly thanked you,
though I've been here so often.
Thank you. This was very delicious.
It's not much, but please take it.
It's just a token of my gratitude.
Thank you, President Jeong.
But I'm afraid
I won't be working here much longer.
Ms. Jeong has asked me to resign.
To resign?
But Jinsuk, you were just raving about him,
saying that he's indispensable.
Well, you see...
Please enjoy your food.
What's going on?
Why would you ask a good chef to resign?
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of things here.
But you know...
I feel like I've met him before.
Where have I seen him?
You've seen him around here, of course.
How's Yeonhui, by the way?
And Byeongguk? Have you heard anything?
Oh, goodness.
Byeongguk is the problem here.
That's not so.
It isn't Byeongguk.
It's Lee Hwayeong. She's the problem.
Not bad.
Discuss it with the design team
and draft up a proposal.
Yes, sir.
And did you say President Kim is
flying back tomorrow?
Yes, sir. He'll be here at 5pm tomorrow.
I'm a bit disappointed the New York
trip didn't work out.
But I guess it takes time to find
a diamond in the rough.
I agree, sir.
I met a businesswoman
from the States recently.
I feel she'll be a great asset in our deals.
I have a good feeling about her.
And she's a good person, too.
Come in.
Hello, ma'am.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
You told me come!
We're going to symphony concert, remember?
Oh, right!
Geez!
You must pull yourself together!
Or you may get yourself in trouble!
Hi, John. It's me.
I talked to Baek Cheol, as you said. Yeah.
I will see you soon then.
I look forward to your visit.
Don't worry. Everything is going well.
What are you going to do?
I'll end it, mom!
Even if it affects the company, I'll end it.
So don't worry.
I was told to take over the Lasar project
from now on.
They're continuing to look for partners.
They're talking to several
companies as we speak.
John Moss.
This is your idea of a revenge?
Seducing and stealing a married man?
This is the my final warning.
End it now.
You've already done enough!
I'm telling President Jeong!
I'll tell him who you are
and why you're after him!
