[Episode 34]
Kang Se-na.
You were Cha Gun-woo's woman all along?
Should we go outside?
I don't think we should talk about it here.
Don't get me wrong.
You've got the wrong idea.
Don't try to make excuses this time.
Have you been fooling me all along?
It's true that Cha Gun-woo pursued me,
but I rejected him because he was your man.
He's not a love of mine.
Don't lie to me.
I thought he'd simmer down after a while.
But he must've been serious,
seeing how he's dumped you.
No.
You always wanted to take my life from me.
Isn't that what you're doing now?
Everything's been crashing down on me...
ever since you returned.
Is this a coincidence?
Jin Song-ah,
you're getting desperate, aren't you?
Why would you blame others for your misfortunes?
This isn't like you at all!
Are you...
the Kang Se-na that I used to know?
You're making me curious.
Who's this Kang Se-na that you're familiar with?
At the very least,
the Se-na I remember was honest and confident.
You must think everything I tell you is a lie.
Song-ah, lies can become truth if you believe them,
and conversely, truth can become lies.
Believe what you want to believe,
and stop trying to find the truth.
It's not going to work anymore.
I won't believe what you want me to believe anymore,
since I know who you are now.
Finally, you've learned to see people for who they really are.
But you're far from understanding...
how this world works.
You're mistaken.
Don't think for a moment that you're right.
You'll realize soon enough...
that you were wrong.
I'm impressed.
You're actually criticizing me?
Jin Song-ah,
I'd worry about yourself if I were you.
Kang Se-na,
I regret that I've trusted you in the past.
Cha Gun-woo.
I thought I made myself clear.
Do you still have something to say to me?
Both you and Song-ah have been giving me a hard time.
Follow me.
What caused you to have a change of heart?
People change their mind about things all the time.
The heart determines who you love, am I right?
I can't help it if my heart changes its mind.
And you call that an excuse?
I can't control how I feel.
I'm much more concerned about myself.
Why didn't you come to me when I asked for you?
I don't feel the same way about you anymore.
Hey, Kang Se-na!
You used me, didn't you?
You had me and Song-ah separated...
because you wanted to get revenge on Director Hong.
Don't you get it?
What you see before you is the real me.
Cha Gun-woo,
you got involved with the wrong girl.
So don't get in my way again.
Mom, have you given up on your diet?
I was hoping that an old tree would blossom again,
but I don't care anymore.
Dear Father...
Se-na, you're home?
What's with you?
You don't even drink water at night for fear of gaining weight,
and yet here you are devouring that chicken.
Ra-bong, go get me a can of beer.
Yea, okay.
Here you go.
That hit the spot.
Se-na.
Did something good happen to you?
Se-na, did you hit the lotto?
Ra-bong.
Yea, Se-na...
Hoping to hit the lotto is like building a sandcastle.
If you expect things to simply happen for you,
you'll only end up hurting yourself.
Why does it have to be so complicated, like it's math?
Hey, don't you know that she's a little slow?
She doesn't understand analogies.
What about you? You don't get it, either!
Are you kidding me?
I've lived for far longer than you,
so of course I know.
I mean, I get the lotto part,
but what does it have to do with a sandcastle or hurting myself?
I'm telling you to work for it...
instead of asking for handouts.
That's not so complicated!
Come closer for a second.
Why?
Listen carefully.
It's advice from Se-na.
I heard her!
Mom, I'm right next to you.
Don't worry about anything...
and go to sleep.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize just so you can feel better.
I know who you really are now.
I want you to know that I've loved you.
Cha Gun-woo.
Do you know what love is?
Why did it have to be Kang Se-na?
How much has she told you about us?
Why?
Is there more to it than what I already know?
Do you think Se-na really loved you?
Did you believe her?
Is that why you betrayed me?
Song-ah...
it's been a living hell for me.
I didn't have a moment of peace.
I should've let her go earlier, but...
Then why did you hang on to her?
Is there something between the two of you,
something other than love?
Take this to the development office.
Understood, Chief.
What do you want to say to me this time?
If you really loved her at one point,
shouldn't you disappear from her sight?
This is between Song-ah and me.
I don't need advice from you.
I'm warning you, Cha Gun-woo.
Stay away from us.
Get it straight.
Only the chairman has the right to fire me, not his son.
Can I give you a warning?
Koo Kang-mo, you should know...
that the chairman's out to get you.
I don't care about what goes on in the company.
You will never see my point of view.
So stop getting involved with my life.
Mom, are you sick of eggs already?
It's good,
but I want you to have it.
You need to eat in order to keep up your strength.
Mom, you don't have to worry about me.
I'm all grown up now.
You just worry about yourself.
Anyone order Bong's Chicken? Anyone order Bong's Chicken?
Isn't that my friend?
Over here.
Lady, are you talking to me?
Did you bring me some chicken?
That's thoughtful,
but you know I can't eat that.
I prefer soup instead.
Okay, this is awkward...
What's wrong with this lady?
You don't look much older than me,
but do you already have Alzheimer's?
My mother doesn't have Alzheimer's!
Why are you getting mad at me?
You're a pretty boy, aren't you?
You should have more respect for your elders!
Look here!
Why are you scolding my son?
Don't you remember when you used to adore Do-joon...
when he was a child?
I'm going to lose my mind.
Dear Father...
Anyone order Bong's Chicken?
She's gotten much older.
Mom...
Madam, how do you do?
What brings you here, Manager Kang?
I was a bit startled...
when you called and told me you'd stop by.
I was in the area and I was reminded of you.
Well, that's good.
Come in and sit down.
I've bought you some roses that I thought may suit you.
I hope you like them.
Of course I like them.
They're common,
but the rose is the queen of flowers.
There's even a poem about it.
I wrap a single rose in paper as I wait for you all day.
Your window remains closed,
but I'll knock with my loving moonlight.
It looks like there's nothing you can't do.
You even cut fruit in the most meticulous way.
You don't seem like the other young women these days.
My mother was good at housework,
so I learned how to cook and manage the house from her.
You're perfect marriage material, Manager Kang.
You're too kind.
I'm still lacking.
Madam, what are your hobbies?
I like to read and listen to music.
Would you like to go watch a movie together sometime?
Sure.
Call me anytime.
Yes, Chairman.
I'm outside at the moment, but I'll head back now.
Madam, I think I'll have to head back now.
Yea, sure.
Thanks for taking time off of your busy schedule.
Go on ahead.
Excuse me...
Manager Kang is more than capable of making...
Kang-mo look favorable to his father.
I'll begin by separating him from that Jin Song-ah.
Gun-woo.
Do you know anything about Manager Kang?
Why do you ask?
She doesn't seem typical to me.
She's young,
but I can sense something brewing inside her.
That's a shrewd observation.
I wouldn't trust her too much.
What do you mean?
She's someone who's difficult to read.
Did you call for me, Chairman?
So you were with my wife?
Yes.
I had some business in the area,
and I stopped by when I was reminded of her.
I see.
So do you see my wife often?
It's rather fun to spend time with her.
Really?
You both must really get along.
But do you know how Director Hong's been doing lately?
I don't think she'll ever get her memories back.
She's crippled mentally.
Are you talking about Alzheimer's?
Yes.
You can rest easy now.
Everything is working out as planned.
However, we should be wary of Jin Song-ah.
Why do you think she created a scandal with Manager Koo?
Manager Kang, stop speculating.
I'm speculating?
You're the one who doesn't know her.
I've been her friend for a long time.
Are you suggesting that she started this scandal on purpose?
Chairman, Jin Song-ah is taking over...
her mother's role in opposing you.
She doesn't know what she's up against.
She's the one who'll get hurt!
Manager Kang, speed up her termination.
Yes, sir.
Why can't you stop harassing Song-ah?
Are you a bat?
As soon as I dump you, you go clinging onto her again?
Indecision can be a disease.
Why did you go see the madam?
Why must I explain myself to you?
Our relationship is over now.
What if someone finds out about us?
Stay away from me.
Yea, Do-joon.
Alright.
I'll see you later.
Let's leave.
Sir?
It's 6 o'clock, so it's time to leave.
Let's leave on the dot.
I have to get back to my mom.
I know. I know.
Why don't the four of us have dinner together?
What?
You can't refuse.
The director has already agreed to it.
Yea, Mom.
What?
What kind of emergency?
Yea, alright.
I'm heading home now.
You should head on home.
I feel so bad.
Please explain to the director and Do-joon for me.
Sure.
We'll be sure to have dinner together next time.
Mom!
What's so urgent?
Can't you see what's in front of you?
There's nothing more urgent than a mother who's bedridden.
That's enough of the hypochondria.
What?
You've got color on your skin.
That's... the makeup I had on...
I'm so cold...
Kang-mo, I'm getting the chills.
Call an ambulance for me.
They're too busy for you.
Just get up, will you?
Why are you doing this?
Okay, let's be frank about it.
Hey, Koo Kang-mo, you!
I won't accept Jin Song-ah!
Why do you have to go after Gun-woo's ex?
That Song-ah's been a sly fox all along!
What makes her think that she can meet with my precious son?
She's not getting away with this!
Mom, Mom!
It's not like that.
Stop blaming her for everything,
Hyun-ah, Hyun-ah.
Hyun-ah.
Mom.
What's the matter?
Do-joon, Do-joon.
Hyun-ah, Hyun-ah.
Hyun-ah.
Mom.
Do-joon.
Mom!
Hyun-ah...
Hyun-ah.
Mom.
This isn't our home.
Please don't do this.
Mom...
Mom!
Sis, I'm going to give up on college.
Do-joon, what's the matter with you?
I can't go to college in this situation!
There's no debate here.
We'll send Mom to a hospice,
and I'll start working, too.
You can't support all of us alone.
I'll find us a home, no matter what it takes.
Trust me and give me some more time.
Okay?
How are you, Chief?
Yea, it's been awhile, Manager Kang.
Do you have time tonight?
I was hoping to discuss Jin Song-ah's situation with you.
What's this about?
Do you want to talk about it here?
Ah, okay then.
I'll see you tonight.
Let's go.
I would like to become your top aide.
Don't you trust me yet?
Why don't you let me take care of this for you?
So do you see my wife often?
It's rather fun to spend time with her.
Can you take a look at this for me?
Why don't you, Kang-mo, and I have a drink later tonight?
Should we?
Give me a second.
Yea, Bro.
Do you have time tonight?
Oh, I see.
When's your appointment?
7pm?
Then we could meet at around 9pm.
Tell Kang-mo that we'll head on over there.
Where's your appointment?
At Swan? Alright.
I'll be there at 9pm.
Yea.
Okay.
Swan, 9pm. Does that work for you?
Good.
Then I'll see you later.
Manager Koo, are you still looking into Hyun-ah's accident?
Yes.
I see.
No one talks about her anymore,
and I'm thankful that you remember her.
Manager Koo, you seem like a romantic.
It's nice to see a man stay loyal to one woman.
I hope to meet someone like that one day.
Manager Kang, are you really single?
I was always busy working, so I never had a chance to date.
Isn't it foolish?
Not at all.
I see that we're alike in many ways.
Father, I resented you for serving Chairman Koo.
I studied hard to become different than you.
But I've come to realize...
that you've had a hard life yourself.
If you were alive now,
you'd be disappointed in me.
I'm sorry.
If my button's fastened incorrectly,
I should unfasten it and start over.
Father, I miss you.
[If you want to find out Kang Se-na's true nature,
come by the Swan Bar at 7pm!]
I heard that the director was looking for Hyun-ah last night.
How do you know about that?
Do-joon told me about it.
I don't him not to say anything to anyone...
Don't say anything to him.
We agreed that he'll report to me every day.
Why?
Jin Song-ah, can I hold your hand through this?
I've already told you that I don't want your pity.
Why do you think it's pity I feel for you?
It's confusing for me.
I'll tell you everything...
when I've come to terms with it.
Chairman Koo's son, Koo Kang-mo.
Thanks for catching my eye.
Kang Se-na, you won't be getting your way.
[If you want to find out Kang Se-na's true nature,
come by the Swan Bar at 7pm!]
You're here, Chief?
What was it you wanted to discuss about Jin Song-ah?
I think Cha Gun-woo still has feelings for Jin Song-ah.
And it seems that Song-ah still misses him as well.
The chairman was worried about the scandal between you and Jin Song-ah.
I'm worried that you'll get hurt in the middle of all of this.
Why are you telling me all of this, Manager Kang?
I don't want my friend to fall out of the chairman's favor.
Stop lying!
