Please don't bother waking up.
That's the only way they can be happy together.
Please, sir.
What are you doing here, ma'am?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello. I stopped by on my way to work. What a terrible ordeal.
I'm holding up.
I should've gone to you first to thank you for saving my husband's life.
Please don't.
In a world where strangers help strangers, of course I had to help family.
Family? Ah, right. Family. Did you see Eun-young?
I sent her and Hyeong-woo to have breakfast.
Hyeong-woo was here, too?
He was so worried about his wife he came with a packed lunch.
I see.
I have to get going to a meeting. Please call me if you need anything.
What you've done is more than enough. Have a good day.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Sweetums, I think Eun-young's kinda trapped now.
- You think so, too? - Yup.
With that polite tone.
Too polite.
Shut it!
No news on Gong Chun-sik?
We have men posted at his usual haunts. Give me a little more time.
Hurry and find him.
Seeing how he searched out Mr. Seo, he's harboring resentment against me.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you check up on Cha Min-je?
I'll give you the details inside.
Why? Is something wrong?
Not exactly. But he's connected to someone you know.
Someone I know? Who?
Hong Na-kyeong.
Na-kyeong?
He's Chairman Hong's friend's son.
Chairman Hong took him in after an accident killed his parents.
Na-kyeong and he were so close they naturally became involved.
Chairman Hong forced them to break up. But they still keep in contact.
You two met before, right?
What could she be thinking?
She planning to use this to hold onto Eun-young?
I won't let her. After all, Ho-gu collapsed after hearing about it.
I'm grateful but even gratitude can't make the impossible possible.
Mom.
Hello, ma'am.
Hey there, Hyeong-woo.
Where's Mother?
She left for a meeting. You stayed here overnight?
I did.
You must be tired. Go home and rest.
I will not leave. I will stay here.
So you're dismissing me? My words mean nothing to you?
Or do you think you have a claim to this room since your mother got it for us?
Mom.
That is not it.
Then go home.
You're no help here. You'll just get in the way.
I am sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Alright. Goodbye.
Hyeong-woo!
Where are you going? I have to go to the restaurant.
Why did you do that?
I don't know.
Mom!
Why? Think I'm just using them for their money and that's it?
I never said that.
It wouldn't have been good for him to stay here.
I have to go. Call me if your father wakes up.
You're still hanging around?
Let's go. I'll catch a cab for you.
I will not get in the way. I will be more helpful.
What kind of man are you? Where's your self-respect?
I am sorry.
You're so frustrating! Why do you keep apologizing?
What'll that make of my family? Of Eun-young?
I am sorry.
Stop saying that!
Do you want to make me the bad guy here?
I don't want to see you when I come back later.
Mom!
I'm sorry. She's in a very bad mood today.
It is okay.
Hot! What? What did you say? Min-je went where?
My house. What's with this reaction?
Huh? Oh, it's nothing.
Did you like him or something?
Like hell I did.
Alright, you didn't. My bad.
Kid, did you screw up again?
I didn't do nothing.
Don't just sit there. Go get some fresh coffee for Min-je.
I'm fine.
Actually I'd like some. And some doughnuts, too, if you can.
Go buy some yourself.
Huh! Now you're taking sides, is that it?
I'll go. I think she wants a private word with you.
I don't know what it's about, but go easy on my boyfriend, yeah?
Of all the things I've seen you guys do...
What's wrong?
I didn't want to meddle in your love life, but this is just wrong.
What are you talking about?
Your first love! Shin-woo's sister-in-law.
Need I say more?
Break up with her. And soon. Or else I'll spill the beans.
Don't say a word. I'll tell her myself.
When? After you're married with children?
You should've told her before you visited her home!
Hello. This is Shin-woo's mother.
Hello, ma'am.
Are you free to meet right now?
Ma'am, Cha Min-je is here to see you.
Let him in.
Come on in. Have a seat.
I imagine you were surprised to receive my call.
It's fine.
Does Shin-woo know?
I didn't tell her.
You know why I asked to see you?
I have an idea.
You have an idea?
You don't approve of my relationship with Shin-woo.
You're pretty sharp. Experience, I imagine.
Knowing Chairman Hong, I'm sure he didn't go easy on you.
Did you do a background check on me?
Leave Shin-woo. Don't tell her the truth.
I'll be ever so grateful if you leave quietly.
Someone said the exact same thing to me ten years ago.
Back then I was young and scared. So I left.
But you're no longer scared and you won't leave?
In the very least, I won't run away.
If we break up, it'll be on our terms.
You'll regret this moment.
That's my burden to bear.
If you're done, I'd like to be excused.
Did you think about how hurt she'll be when you leave?
So you've already met the parents, is that it?
Do I need to answer?
I won't stand for any more nonsense from you.
I'm Shin-woo's brother.
And Hong Na-kyong's husband.
Shouldn't you be more worried about making your wife happy?
Mr. Cha.
Sorry if I offended you.
What do you want?
Are you going to let Shin-woo date Cha Min-je?
Why do you want to know? You wanna be her big bro again?
I'm sure you'll ignore me, but I have a bad feeling about him.
On what basis?
Shall I say it for you?
Cha Min-je's your wife's ex-boyfriend, having grown up with her for 20 years.
They stayed in touch after her marriage. I don't blame you for not liking him.
Why? Didn't you know? I thought you did.
Seems my visit was a waste of time. Excuse me.
Let me ask you.
Why are you still with her?
Previously married with a boyfriend on the side.
I know you like money, but that's no reason to live with this insult.
As a man, that is.
I never really thought about it. Thank you for the advice.
Don't worry, ma'am.
I have more than enough reason to endure the insult.
What is it?
Gong Chun-sik was released from prison.
What? So soon? Did the old hag get him out?
No, I don't think so.
No? Then find him before she does.
Yes, sir. By the way, did you talk to Chairman Hong?
He's coming by the house tonight.
That's your comfort zone. It's better than meeting outside.
You're thinking sneakier these days.
I learned it all from you.
Don't. It's not a good thing to learn.
Anyway, I'm off to catch Gong Chun-sik. I'll call you later.
Okay.
So Gong Chun-sik's on the loose, is he?
So I have been practicing pouring drinks. I am very good now.
I was very scared of you then. But you are not scary now.
You have very ugly hands. I am sorry, but it is true!
Eun-young has very pretty hands.
Eun-young!
What are you doing?
Clipping his fingernails. And talking because he said he is bored.
Dad told you he was bored?
Yes. He said, "Hyeong-woo, I am bored."
I just met with Dr. Han. He says Dad will wake up soon.
Good.
Okay. So go home. You need to get back to your art.
I am done clipping.
Hyeong-woo!
Cha Min-je's your wife's ex-boyfriend, having grown up with her for 20 years.
They kept in touch after her marriage. I don't blame you for not liking him.
Dad will be here in an hour. Are you hungry?
Not yet. Where's Mother?
A friend called her out.
She wouldn't tell me where. She's still mad at me.
Are you mad at me, too?
No. I should be, but strangely I'm not.
Did something happen?
Your ex-husband mentioned a guy on your honeymoon.
Was it Cha Min-je?
Sweetie!
Am I wrong?
I don't know what you've heard, but the whole honeymoon thing is a lie!
- You know that it wasn't me... - Don't try so hard.
I don't really care who's lying.
You don't care?
I don't.
It's true. Min-je and I were together a long time.
He followed me to my first honeymoon.
Actually, he might've tagged along on ours, too.
I don't really care, but don't go around telling him about our family matters.
I don't appreciate your boyfriend advising me.
The final draft of our proposal is finished.
Huh? Where did everyone go?
Min-je, what did you say to my husband?
You don't want to see Shin-woo get hurt?
You expect me to respect that when you act this way?
And why would I get hurt?
Shin-woo!
So it was you.
Yes.
I don't know how much you know...
No. Not another word.
This conversation didn't happen. I need to think things over.
Shin-woo, Min-je has something to tell you.
- Let's go out. - Later.
I'm not feeling so well. I think I'll go home early.
How sick are you?
I'll be fine if I get some rest at home.
I'll take you home.
I feel bad enough I'm leaving early. I'll go alone.
She looks more than a little bit sick.
Why are you sleeping for so long? Wake up already.
What a temper. Did you really have to collapse?
All you had to do was say no and bring Eun-young home.
I didn't tell her. I know she'll just blame herself.
Did Hyeong-woo leave?
Yes.
Is he upset with me?
Like he'd ever say that.
He's always saying sorry and thank you. That's the kind of person he is.
Who says he isn't? Why did he have to be that jerk's brother?
Mom!
Fine, fine. What's the use of saying this now?
I'm really sorry.
For what?
We owe the chairwoman again, and that'll just chain you down.
You can't just coldly leave, yet you can't stay there either.
What a difficult position.
I'll take care of it.
Geez, that's what you always say.
Look here, Ho-gu! Wake up already!
Keep this up and I'll never cook for you again.
Thank you for the meal. You're still a great cook.
I didn't do much. Your talented daughter did everything.
Father, how about a drink in the study?
No, thank you. I don't drink when I talk business.
Oh, I forgot.
Then I'll prepare some tea.
I'm shocked that the chairwoman hasn't caught on to Dodo's scheme.
They're being very furtive. At this rate they could swallow Dream In whole.
She would've never missed this before. Must be getting old.
So what is it you want to do? You want me to let her in on their actions?
No. I want you to take over Dream In.
What?
Before Dodo moves in for the strike, I want you to attack the chairwoman.
Did you forget that she and I are allies?
Which only makes sense if the company is safe and secure, no?
And why should I accept your proposition?
Truthfully speaking, I don't want Dodo to ruin her. I want to do it myself.
You're the only person who can help me.
I understand how you feel, but this isn't the time to be emotional.
I'll pretend we never had this conversation.
Na-kyeong's the one who gave me her shares.
You're trying to use her as collateral?
Of course not. I just want you to see what it is she wants.
What about your son?
I heard that the child is with Chairwoman Shin right now.
The boy has nothing to do with me.
Smart move. You didn't even know he existed.
If you're gonna adopt, adopt a stranger.
Yes, sir.
I'll consider your proposition and give you a call.
Yes, sir.
Mother, where's Jeong-woo?
He's not in the study?
He's not. He disappeared while I walked my father out.
He even left his phone behind.
Did your father say something offensive to him again?
Mother!
Oh, I forgot about the shares you gave us. Please forgive me, Na-kyeong.
I heard that the child is with Chairwoman Shin right now.
The boy has nothing to do with me.
There, there. There, there, Bi-an.
Liar-liar-pants-on-fire. There are no spaceships.
Look closely. Look, over there.
Where? I don't see nothin'.
Daddy is lying to me.
He must have gone home to sleep. We should sleep, too.
Daddy!
Your father is heading back to the States today?
He'll go after he's done contemplating the problem Jeong-woo gave him.
Problem? What problem?
I'm not sure. It's probably about business.
My father won't tell me. What did you two talk about?
Nothing special.
By the way, did you guys hear about Eun-young's father's surgery?
Surgery?
My gathering yesterday was near their restaurant.
I stopped by hoping to see Bi-an but only Mr. Ju and his wife were there.
What happened?
I'm not sure.
Apparently he was collapsed near Sis's place and she found him.
Is that a coincidence or what?
Eun-young really owes Sis now.
What's wrong, Jeong-woo?
Nothing. It's nothing.
I think Gong Chun-sik met up with Seo Ho-gu.
The old hag is probably desperately looking for him.
Hurry! We have to find him first. Alright, bye.
Hello?
It's Gong Chun-sik,
I thought you'd want to see me. Let's meet.
Hello. It's been a long time.
It has.
Just look at me. I'm a wreck with the chairwoman trying to track me.
You met Mr. Seo Ho-gu recently, didn't you?
How did you know?
What do you mean you know who made my father collapse?
Have a seat.
Answer me.
Didn't you think it strange that he collapsed near the chairwoman's house?
The person he met before collapsing...
was the chairwoman. Your mother-in-law.
