Secret Love Affair
Wait here.
Episode 4
You're late.
You're awake. You normally sleep so well that you wouldn't wake up if someone carried you away.
Your husband called a lot.
I see. I turned my phone off and forgot to turn it on.
Go back to sleep. I'll check my phone.
Don't turn the alarm on. He said he'd be here soon.
Do you have a guest?
No.
If you want some tea..
That's okay.
Go back to your room.
Well then.
What are you doing? Why aren't you answering?
Are you still keeping Seong Woo company?
I had Jo In Seo watch the students and left.
I'm taking off now.
Oh, honey.
I am sorry I couldn't pick up your call. Where are you?
You told me you're coming in the morning so I didn't pay attention to your calls.
Why are you here?
You didn't leave?
I don't think I would have let you in to the house at this hour.
Sorry, I don't remember.
I get drunk quickly and sober up quickly.
Go.
Contact me if you're going to start with piano again. If not, don't.
I like you for your talent.
Should I call taxi?
No.
How did you get here?
My government truck.
Then go. Quietly.
Sorry to your husband.
I'm not usually interested in another man's woman.
Another man's woman?
It's Teacher.
I made a big mistake, without even getting drunk in my sober state of mind.
You don't have to tell me.
Since I don't know.
Are you home?
You just returned?
Yes, just now.
Something happen?
Don't you normally stay all the way to the end when you go on team-building trips with your students?
It feels funny being there, now that I'm the academic chair.
They would feel uncomfortable if I stay there too long.
I just bought them two boxes of beer and left there.
I didn't enjoy that punk Jo In Seo showing himself off either.
So that's why you are so down.
By the way.
Call someone and have them monitor the traffic in the neighborhood better.
Some junk truck just zoomed by at this late hour.
A crazy guy or thief or something.
You're pathetic, Oh Hye Won.
I left it behind.
Are you crazy?
I waited for an hour and just slept in public sauna, and then came to work just now.
It's not early.
I have to be the first one to show up.
Where were you?
To do stuff for nothing.
Sorry.
I don't remember.
I will never remember.
Yes, Chairman. Did you have a good breakf...?
Yes?
Young Woo is really funny.
She shows up with her husband for the first time in my recent memory, and even eats breakfast together,
so I was about to compliment her,
but she sends her husband away,
and breaks down in tears.
She brings her dad into the study, crying, and...
She hasn't been out for thirty minutes.
I don't know why I even bother to live.
You really...
I never had a single happy day since I was born.
I'm always the sacrificial goat.
And mom
always said that you cheated on her since she gave birth to me,
and looked at me like I'm some sort of a witch.
Never a good hug,
never a warm glance,
and just left us like that.
You want me to recite the second verse?
I don't know.
It's all very sad.
Grow up.
You're married with two kids, and you always bring up your childhood.
If you had a bad childhood,
You should be a good mother to your children.
You don't even let me see the kids as I wanted.
You always get yourself into trouble abroad with visiting your kids as an excuse.
How can I trust you?
What is it that you want?
And that's all I heard. So tantalizing.
I should wiretap the room or something.
While I'm traveling,
do you want to pretend that you're renovating the room and set up the bug?
I don't have the confidence for that.
Not even you can do everything, huh.
Hard to do that behind the old man's back.
That's why.
She's just acting up because she wants a divorce, right?
I'm not sure.
You said you told Young Woo's lover not to meet her anymore.
Yes. She probably won't listen to me, but
that's my role.
Did her boyfriend dump her?
That's possible.
She seemed to like him more than he liked her.
See, you can't do that.
That means giving up your power in love relationship.
He's not a decent man. Over a mere bar boy.
She is very lonely.
No matter how lonely, you can't give up your pride like that.
You can't just buy a boyfriend like that.
How feckless does she have to be for that kid to see her as money, not woman?
Look at me and my lady-like disposition even at my age.
That's my big weapon.
You saw me getting my cheapskate husband
to pay up for that chocolate.
Of course, that took a toll on my emotion, but...
You are amazing. I acknowledge it.
Just pretend you're stopping her and let her be.
Let her go all the way and embarrass herself in front of everyone.
Then I'll get fired.
One of my duties is to manage her private life.
Sorry to have you play this double agent role.
I have to return the favor. It's the Chairman that paid for my study abroad.
It's me that gave your husband the professor position, you know.
So I'm a triple agent to return the favor.
You're something, more so than me even.
Let me go over this with you again.
Let's start with your travel itinerary.
Three days in Paris,
two days in Berlin, ten days in Zurich, Switzerland.
I want to go there a little early.
Can't you schedule me in Berlin for just a day?
I'll attend the scholarship students' meeting.
You have to attend at least a day of concert. The purpose of this trip is to survey the music scene.
No one from the branch office will be accompanying me, right?
No, just a personal security team hired locally.
Then that's fine.
And this is how the chocolate money is distributed as of now.
As soon as you decide after you listen to Mr. Baek...
Yes.
Welcome.
Did you have a good conversation?
I was on the edge of my seat, talking about my child's future.
I begged Professor Kang.
Her daughter doesn't come to school at all. - Oh, no.
What is she doing, if she's planning on staying in school? - That's what I'm saying.
I'm trying my best to make a professor out of her.
And I see no hope for her.
Put in some good words for her to your husband.
Please. - I have no such clout with my husband.
You're too humble.
The most boring conversation for me is a talk about one's kids.
I apologize.
Let's finish our business here. Money is the best conversation topic.
Of course.
Young Woo. Let her go abroad.
We had her passport confiscated, though.
Managing Director Kim barely stopped the reissuance of the passport, which she reported as being lost.
Let her have it.
I'll tell her husband that I sent her for an errand.
Although he won't believe me...
Understood.
Oh, really?
Thank you, Dad.
Yes.
It's me.
You were mad because of my friend, weren't you?
Let go of your anger.
Let's go shopping in Paris.
You need to change item this time around.
Do you think there's hope?
I wonder.
(Reading Chinese characters)
This represents your situation now.
(Reading Chinese characters)
This means two women are living under one roof.
Unfortunately, they are harming each other.
This 'Hyuk' means it has to be changed drastically.
This will well worth the risks. Invest your money in futures.
The investment matches well with both of your fortune.
This will also prevent the rumors and you will see a big profit when you return from the trip.
Excuse me, I need to take care of something urgent.
Oh alright, hurry back.
Did you get home safely?
You can answer questions that I ask.
Where are you going?
Stop tormenting me, really!
I can't stand it anymore!
If you're a human being, there has to be something, even a little bit, that improves.
This guy is crazy.
If a person was to listen to this everyday, anyone would go crazy.
What do you think you know?! Hey, I played up to Czerny 50 Piano Etudes!
If you feel like you're going crazy you don't have to listen!
Do I have to live with my ears closed?!
Do you want to be accosted in exactly the same way? Every day at the same time,
huh?! - Hurry up and report this psycho!
OK, ok, ok. Phone, phone.
Report whatever. Just
try it the way I tell you to.
Why are you touching me you crazy punk!
No. Let go! -No, it's not that.
-Just try the way I tell you too... -Let go!
It's not that but please listen to what I have to say.
This crazy punk suddenly picked me up and threw me.
He even picked up the piano chair and I really thought that I was going to die!
Your posture is incorrect to start with!
This is why you don't improve!
Oh this crazy punk!
Aiyoo, really!
A public duty personnel, beating up a private citizen...
even though he was arrested on site,
he continued to show hostility.
Uncle (Ajussi), the kids were crying and racing out. It wasn't a joke!
Detective, this friend is normally very demure and sincere.
He's never shown violence at all...
Hey, do you have some kind of psychiatric problem?
Just throw him in!
Just stay still.
You're not going to reach a settlement?
If you don't settle this you're going to have to go to jail. You're not a soldier or a citizen.
Assault as a semi-public worker?
Then it's multiplied by 1.5 times.
Do you not have someone to stand as your guardian?
Aiyoo, really. Do you not have someone?
You don't?
I don't have anyone.
That person Kim Joo Suh said that he looked at your cellphone and looked for someone who was close to you,
and he said Da Mi and I were the only two listed without the last name.
We went to the hospital first after getting the call, to get an estimate for the settlement.
I saw her and knew right away that she was faking it.
She says she needs 6 weeks of medical treatment, but she's all over the place gobbling up beer and chicken.
She's saying that you should even compensate for her psychological damage. I was dumbfounded.
Her psychological state looked completely healthy.
You have to beg no matter what, you fool. What she expects is money.
I don't know what is what, so how can I beg.
If you don't, what are you going to do? How are you going to come up with $7000 right now?
Unless they get someone willing to move into the place you used to live in. (So he can get the deposit back)
These days who goes into that kind of house, when "one-rooms" are overflowing.
Hey, couldn't we ask that professor to help us?
He's the one who first found you impressive and offered to support you.
That's right, saying that he'd even send you to college.
You did "no show" at the testing site, but you couldn't help it.
I can't.
I'm sorry to Professor Kang.
I normally don't have interest in another man's woman.
Another man's woman? It's "Teacher."
Aiyoo, hey...don't do it. Don't ever do it. Really don't.
What have you got to lose?
If one gets too humiliated, annoyed, and angry, his heart can just stop.
I'm just going to go to prison and live there.
What?! - That's better.
You know what kind of place it is? - You haven't heard?
Even though they say that all kinds of people go there and do all kinds of things?
I can just stay still then.
You're finally going crazy.
Hey, snap out of it.
No, really.
That's how I really feel.
Do you like it?
CIP?
VIP room for CEOs.
Then... we can be aboard without inspection?
They still do it, but it is simpler.
They also do the check-in for us.
This is awesome.
It's not anything special.
While I'm not here the old man will probably call you right?
As he buys me Spicy Stew or Beef Broth Soup,
he'll probably ask me about this and that?
To check to see if your affection hasn't cooled.
He's interested in my other pocket.
Why are you like that, when he still loves you?
That's already past the expiration date.
Anyway, respond appropriately and vaguely and watch him well.
It's so annoying to see him going around with random b*tches.
His taste in women has always been very unique.
Young Woo got that from him.
Aigoo, oh my word. What's that?
Omo, CEO Seo.
Hello. - Ah, yes.
What's happened?
You're the one I should be asking that of. You should have told me ahead of time.
Was that woman's flight today?
Hurry up and introduce him as a business partner.
You're too much.
Even if we are name only, we are still mother-daughter. Yet we meet like this?
I've been preoccupied with something I've been envisioning lately.
I'll introduce him to you. Shin Woo Sung. He's my business partner.
This person I've seen a few times.
He's a dark horse on the fashion side.
Where are you headed?
It would be nice if it weren't the same plane.
Paris 10:40.
Aigoo, how exquisite.
Later if the opportunity presents itself let's meet again. CEO, if I could just have a moment to speak to you.
Change yours to the night plane.
Why should I? The person who doesn't like it should change.
The Chairman has an official schedule planned so that side is expecting her.
It's the same for me.
You are earning insults.
No matter what I'm the mother
and the first class section only has a few seats.
In a narrow space where, if I turn my head even a little bit, I can see the whole section,
do you want to be hugging and giggling with a such a green young kid?
You're really strange. I told you that he was a business partner. Why do you keep pushing it into a weird direction?
Argue something that should be argued.
Even if you grab onto me and beg, it's not enough.
Let's say I would take a picture of you two together and pass it out there.
In the olden times, you would be old enough to marry off your son of that age.
It's something to be stoned for. - Take it all you want.
I'm not scared.
I've got such a young looking face.
Can she be like this?
I don't know.
Boarding time...
Yes, I understand.
How should I help you?
It doesn't matter to me.
It doesn't matter to me either.
That's good then.
We're free!
There's nothing else like it!
Nothing.
How long has this been?
Oh, Hye Won.
You must have been really shocked.
Driver Choi says that he too didn't know about her travel plans at all.
When she was going on vacation with her boyfriend do you think that she'd call the driver?
You should have kept in contact with her 24 hours a day.
From now on let's pay more attention.
Eat lunch together, just the two of you. I have one more thing left.
Ok.
That's really funny. It's not like you can't even jump off the plane.
I knew that you'd laugh about it.
Of course I'm laughing. Young Woo has to learn how to tolerate things that she doesn't like.
Whether she's on good terms or bad terms, whether she's in a good mood or a bad mood.
Is that such a big deal?
She's got quick temper, but that's all she's made of.
It(her capacity)'s not even as big as this.
Not necessarily.
She even has a business plan of her own.
It's probably a plan to lose money, not a business plan.
Sir.
I'm telling you this since you'll hear about this anyway,.
Truthfully, CEO Seo..
She has a (traveling) companion.
Say what?
Is he a man?
Yes.
That... really like an idiot!
What are they going together for? When they can meet there.
I was careless.
It's fine.
To CEO Seo, even if it's not something big,
I wonder if you could entrust her with something.
To give her responsibility..
How can I trust her?
Not unless you help her by her side.
I don't know anything about business.
I'm not in a position to leave the Arts Foundation, either.
More than anything Seung Sook
probably wouldn't let you go.
Have a drink.
I have to drive.
If you stay under her,
you'll be a Director forever.
If it's forever I'd be thankful, no matter what my title is.
Han Seong Sook,
she's great, having big boobs and all,
but her other packet has grown too large.
I think I've left her seated in that position for too long.
What should I do, Chairman?
According to my rules,
I'd have to pass what you said onto Chairman Han.
Oh, really..
You're the real big fox.
You're even threatening me.
I'm sorry.
It's a compliment.
I'm saying this since I think of you as my family.
I'd have no worries
if Young Woo resembled even half of you.
If you were a man, I'd have made you my son-in-law.
Seol-leong-tang (Korean broth soup made from ox bones) is coming.
Thank you.
It's hot.
How come every time I come, you look so down? What kind of worries do you have?
That's what life is.
I have a lot of worries about life, too.
About my kid, wife, everything.
Tell me if you need anything.
I will.
Her eyes are blank yet sorrowful.
My heart feels for her each time.
I'm going to have to embrace her at some point.
Aigoo, this is good.
Before Madam Lily comes back,
let's go on a picnic. The weather's even warm.
Okay.
Aigoo, always this...
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Oh,
are you off on the 2nd and 4th Mondays?
Hey, Jung Yoo Ra.
You can't do this today, let's go to class.
Are you kidding me?
Then do I have to get an F because of you?
What am I supposed to do if you keep missing the group meeting in class?
You do what you can do.
-Hey! -Quickly, go.
Who is it?
Those types of kids always cling onto classes.
What type of kid is she?
I don't know. She annoys me. She should take it easy.
How can I let it go when her attendance is a mess.
Why are you being like this. If you just decide there are always ways.
She showed up for this class ONCE.
Pay some attention to her.
Don't make me hear the same things repeatedly from the Dean.
Go put the instrument there.
Seriously.
Let's make it easy for everyone.
Hello.
No, not that one.
Yes.
Then, there should be something in return at least.
Why wouldn't there be?
After the midterm exams are over, they'll prepare an opportunity for a get-together.
Well, I eat food everyday anyway.
Would they only buy us food?
If you have good information, give it to me.
Everybody knows about Han Seok Sook's fortune.
I heard that Jung Yoo Ra's mother increased all of it.
Did you not also place your spoon on that table (partake in it)?
What are you..
I don't know anything.
It's not because I have a lot of money...
Then I don't know either.
That... really.
Professor Kim, you don't need to be interested in those types of things.
Anyway,
I'll try requesting that from the dean, so I'll ask that you consider my request, ok?
Okay.
Really.
You're alone again? - Hello.
Jung Yoo Ra ran away.
Then you should've brought another person. Why blame someone else?
Yes.
I don't want to waste time. Just do it.
Can't you see this?
Read what it says.
Dolce Cantabile.
But you're screaming like that?
Das kann nicht wenig länge ändern. [in German]
Wie konntest du ___
Müssen viele wie wiesen sein?
You're crying?
Do you even understand what I said?
Play it with this one.
Stop.
If you call yourself a cello major,
you should at least use one like this. (Get a good, expensive one)
If you feel like it's unfair start by changing your instrument.
Don't torture my ears anymore.
Got it?
Yes.
Try it again.
Good night.
This is it? It's only early evening.
The curfew I set for you is 10 pm,
which means I treasure you that much.
So annoying, really.
-Oh, by the way, -What?
Your mother, you said that she has far reaching contacts.
By chance does she have anyone she knows on the police or prosecutor side?
What are you talking about so suddenly?
My friend is in a bad situation right now.
I want to try to take care of it without letting the adults know. I can tell my folks too, but
we're very close with them. Our fathers are friends too.
What is it?
Well, it's not much... Would there be anyone?
I don't know those types of things... Since I'm just worried my mom might be sent away to prison one day.
Bye.
Oh, okay.
Who said you can take this car around?
Ah, I had something important to do... The car key was on the counter..
Why did you touch it without permission?
It's not like Woo Sung left it in your care.
I'm sorry, but
Hyung, is there any influential people around you?
That's enough. Hurry up and put the car inside and work!
Yes.
Oh, Da Mi.
Where?
When Seon Jae is like that...
You're driving around in a foreign car
and pretending to be a collage student?
I borrowed it and rode it for a minute because of Seon Jae's matter.
Did you look into it some?
It's all frustration.
Aish, is there really nowhere to lean on?
Concentrate.
Just think of good things.
You can do it.
I can do it. Just good things.
Just good things.
Nacheonjae ('I'm a genius' - Seon Jae's User ID)
No message found.
Oh.
My head
hurts so much.
That... in the shampoo room,
there's that friend that massages well.
Was her name Da Mi?
Oh yes. I'll call her for you.
Hello.
Press her head sufficiently.
Yes.
Were you well?
Why?
I'm sorry.
This.
You told me to throw it away, but
I fixed it and kept it for myself.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize. I'm pleased to hear you like what I used to wear.
In return, make this headache go away!
Thank you.
A little more.
What I don't understand is...
I'll tell you as I play.
I heard it like this.
But I changed it like this.
I inserted consecutive octaves here.
Who did you learn from?
I just played around with it.
How do you memorize the music?
I download it and play it about a hundred times...
Isn't it tiring?
It's fun after I memorize it.
Hey!
- Oh my, I'll do it. - I shouldn't have come.
No.
It's absolutely not that.
Well... that...
It's definitely not that...
I..
I don't know.
Your teacher isn't me. It's Professor Kang Joon Hyeong.
I don't like that.
He's not, because...
Because...
When I first met you,
it was decided like that. Like fate.
I gave it all, to the goddess.
But it doesn't matter.
Everything's like hell anyway.
Do you not feel well?
No.
I'm okay.
Excuse me.
Me?
Yes.
Um...
I got courage because you seemed like a nice person.
You seem like a well connected person...
My boyfriend...
You need some dating advice?
It's not that...
He got arrested because he beat someone up...
Should we take a seat?
He's not that kind of person...
But after suddenly enlisting himself for a public service duty, (in lieu of military service duty for qualified men)
he must have had a mental breakdown or something.
Slowly. Okay?
Oh no...
You must really like him.
Yes.
We didn't sleep together yet,
but I'm going to marry him...
But he always happens to
fall in trouble.
He almost got into college
because he plays the piano well,
but his mom suddenly passed away...
And...
Oh my!
You didn't leave yet?
-No. -What's going on?
Did she make a mistake?
No, no.
I'm at fault for asking her about something painful
We'll finish up soon. Will that be alright?
Ah, yes. Then...
He...
plays piano?
Yes.
I didn't know before,
but apparently a professor told him he's good.
He even visited his home with his wife.
He must be
really good.
Yes. They said they would give him scholarship.
If I don't do anything, he'll go to prison.
If you help me, I'll pay you back for the rest of my life.
Please.
I'll look into it,
but don't expect too much.
Regardless, hang in there.
Check something for me.
His contact info is in his report, right?
Can you look up an incident with that info?
For assault, threat, vandalism and obstruction of justice,
both civil and criminal suits have been brought against him.
It's under Yang Pyeong police station's jurisdiction.
What's wrong?
What is this?
You knew about this, right? Will Professor Jo In Seo be the first Korean judge for Chopin competition?
Don't get mad.
Another stab in the back! Again!
It's not even confirmed.
The fact that he's even being mentioned is upsetting!
Do I always have to find out this way?
Who do you actually live with?!
What happened with Lee Seon Jae, too. If you paid even slightly more attention, we could've kept him!
You definitely would've done something if he was under Jo In Seo.
Am I wrong?
Of course it's wrong.
What's wrong?
Take it.
Yes.
That's me.
Where?
Who?
Pardon?
Please elaborate on that.
He's the student I care about the most.
Student?
Then he goes to Seohan College of Music?
I'm teaching him personally.
While preparing for an international competition with me...
I guess, emotionally...
He must've felt quite burdened.
He was undergoing psychiatric treatment.
- So he is... - Are you saying he's a patient?
Yes, that's right.
He signed up for the military service without consulting me and...
It came to this.
He's a very nice boy.
I'll take full responsibility.
Please take all of this into consideration.
Without even knowing all this...
Detective Kim.
I'll settle immediately.
Well, but...
There's also a criminal suit.
Ah, yes.
Let me make a quick call.
Yes, Prosecutor Jo. This is Kang Joon Hyeong.
Yes. About what I told you about earlier...
Yes.
This is nice.
I even get to have lunch with you since the higher-ups are not here.
We need this occasionally.
You know what? I took you as my role model when I first started working here.
You did?
I thought, I'm going to stick to her like gum and learn every single little thing from her.
But after seeing the reality,
I thought, I'm never going to be able to handle all that, and completely gave up the thought.
Thinking, 'If I were her, I won't be able to survive even a week.'
It can't be done if it's you. It has to be me. - I know, right?
The vegetable is really fresh today. - Yes.
Oh, right. What happened to that guy?
Things are going well. He'll be out of there soon.
That's a relief.
Just look at you.
After disappearing without a word...
I'm sorry about what happened to your mother,
and I know what you're going through,
but this isn't how it should be. You should know better.
Here you are, reaching out to me in the end.
A human tie is not an easy thing to cut off.
From the time you first met me...
Hmm?
Did you sleep well?
This is my house.
I have to get back to my post.
You don't have to.
You're a patient now.
I am?
Have some rest while staying here for a while.
Your fingers must be quite stiff now.
Let's get inside.
Well, that's...
No! Look...
I'm telling you, you don't have to go.
You don't understand what I'm saying?
You're in serious condition.
Is it normal to beat up someone just because it's noisy for you?
If that serious, it's more than good enough of a reason for discharge from the military.
I took care of everything.
If we just get a doctor's letter and send it, even your military duty
will be taken care of.
Just leave it to me.
I don't want to.
What? - Even the settlement fund you came up with...
The right thing to do is to decline it,
but, while being locked up in there for a few days, I got scared,
so I accepted it gratefully.
Still,
the military duty... That's not right. - Hey.
What's not right?
It's not right. Because...
Honey.
Look who this is.
I know, right?
You seem to be doing well.
Yes.. Well...
What's going on? - I scooped him out again.
Looks like he was going nuts with his fingers that won't settle down.
