Your father met with the chairwoman before he collapsed.
What's wrong? Refuse to believe me again?
What are you trying to pull? You involving me in your revenge now?
What?
You're wasting your time. No matter what, she's Hyeong-woo's mother.
I can't help you.
Will you listen to me?
Your father met with Gong Chun-sik before he collapsed.
And he confronted the chairwoman about the tricks she played to get you to marry.
He received a huge shock and collapsed.
Mother saved his life.
I know. She found him on the way home, right?
But it's not true. She didn't even come to work that day.
It doesn't make sense. Why would she lie?
If he collapsed in the house, she'd have to explain what led up to that.
Remember how she promoted him to head of security
and tried to buy you off with money?
That's enough. She already apologized for that.
I'm sure she did.
She had to reassure you before she played her next trick.
Jeong-woo!
Let me finish. Then decide if you believe me or not.
You once asked me how I knew so much about Gong Chun-sik.
I'm the one who found him and told him what to do per her orders.
Back then I didn't know the target was you.
Your father wasn't tempted with money, so she had me tap his friend.
Gong tricked your father into buying a restaurant at a good location.
Your father didn't have a choice after quitting his job at Dream In.
Stop it. I told you, I traded my life to save my father's life.
That was all part of the plan.
After all, Dr. Han performed the surgery and he's a dear ally of hers.
You almost had me there.
The scenario was so well scripted I almost fell for it.
So you're saying she knew I'd come to her for the surgery money?
She's the chairwoman, after all.
Is she a god? The God?
You went too far. I would've believed a more toned down story.
You know well how frightening a person she is.
Hyeong-woo said he couldn't live without you.
And she'd do anything for him.
Even if it means putting someone's life on the line.
That's enough!
Fine. I know you don't want to believe me.
But Gong Chun-sik wants to meet you.
Call me when you're ready to believe, when you're ready for the truth.
It won't be too late to charge her for her crimes then.
Bye.
Don't hold your breath. I'll never call you.
It's a secret. But I'll just tell you.
I was made an official employee today and promoted to head of security!
Really?
Dad!
Truthfully speaking, someone's very interested in you.
To be her daughter-in-law.
So it wasn't a guy?
The son likes you, too.
I'm talking about Mrs. Shin. You know, Kang Hyeong-woo's mother.
What do you mean he was scammed?
He lost everything!
His friend lied about owning the restaurant.
The real owner never even heard of his friend.
That bastard! How could he do this to Dad?
If you can accept me, as flawed as my past may be...
I will marry Hyeong-woo.
Is this because of the money for surgery?
If this was just about money, I wouldn't resort to marriage.
It was my decision. There's no way she planned it!
Where did you go?
What brings you here?
The chairwoman sent me with herbal medicine for you and your mother.
Herbal medicine?
Yes. She says you'll need to booster your strength.
Did something happen?
Can you spare me a moment?
You're Mother's right-hand man, aren't you?
Tell me what you need and I'll do whatever I can.
Where did you say you found my father?
At the mouth of the neighborhood street.
And Mother was on the way home after work?
Is something wrong?
I know I'm asking some ridiculous questions.
But I need to hear the answers if I want to look her in the face again.
She didn't go to the office that day.
She met with the bank manager because of the Pusan branch.
You're telling the truth?
Yes. I can take you to where they met if necessary.
I could introduce you to the waitress who waited on them.
No, I believe you.
Now can I ask what this is about?
I'm sorry. Forget I said anything.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, Mr. Ahn.
Don't mention it. Don't hesitate to ask for my help.
Of course your mother wouldn't do that.
Eun-young.
Oh, you wiped my father's face.
Yes.
He looks so handsome, thanks to you.
Don't you have to go to the art studio?
Winning a prize doesn't make you an artist. This is just the beginning.
But I like coming here.
I am not afraid of him anymore. I like being with him.
I'm sure he feels the same.
But he'll be disappointed if you don't paint.
You still haven't painted your mother, have you?
Give it another go. If you do, it'll make her so happy.
You'll go to the art studio, won't you?
Yes.
Get up.
I'm sleepy.
Get up.
Why?
What is it?
Look for yourself.
A list of prospective employees?
Background, looks, family. They're all so picture perfect.
No need to meet all of them. Pick three and meet one a week.
Why show them to me? Take them to your HR department.
No more messing around, Shin-woo.
Get up this instant!
Please, I'm begging you. Leave me alone, please!
What's wrong?
Can't you turn a blind eye for once?
Can't you leave me in peace without me begging you to go?
I asked you what's wrong!
You probably already forgot, but there's no middle ground in love.
You're either deliriously happy on cloud nine.
Or on the verge of death because it hurts so much.
I'm deaf to everything you say, so just leave me alone!
You're crying because of a man like him?
What do you expect?
That man you look down on is the first man I've ever loved!
Don't worry. People in relationships fight all the time.
Get your head on straight and come eat.
And look through those files carefully.
Follow me.
Cha Min-je's company?
It's so small a small nudge should cause it to tumble.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you deliver the herbal medicine?
Yes. I met Eun-young while I was there.
And?
She asked about the events of that day.
What events ?
She kept asking questions, like she knew something.
So?
I reassured her otherwise, but I doubt I put her suspicions to rest.
Did she meet Gong Chun-sik?
No. She wouldn't believe me if she did.
Place someone in the hospital.
In the hospital?
Yeah. Gong will show up when he hears his friend collapsed.
If she meets him, it's all over.
Yes, ma'am. What shall I do with him if he shows?
We'll have to send him far away so he'll never return.
You're excused.
Goodbye.
Hello?
It's Shin-woo.
What is it?
I'm at the park in front of your house.
I have a prior engagement.
I'll be waiting.
Shin-woo.
Ever look up at the heavens?
Oh, I forget you can't. You'd be too ashamed.
Shin-woo.
Don't call my name like that.
Other than her name, I know quite a bit about his first love.
She chained him down for 20 years, using him when she needed him.
Until recently she obsessed over him and would call him.
She tried him to send him abroad to make sure her husband didn't find out.
What is it you want to say?
If she were a better person than you, I wouldn't be half as mad.
I can't believe it's a woman like you.
And what kind of woman am I?
You know very well without me tell you.
Remember this. I'm not breaking up with him.
Don't show your face around my man ever again.
Look here.
You really love Min-je, don't you?
I'm sure you hate to acknowledge it, but we have a 20-year history together.
You don't even come close, Shin-woo.
Don't you dare say my name!
You can deny it all you want, but I'm still your sister-in-law.
Know that that means?
Every moment you're with Min-je, that little fact will torture you.
I won't show up in front of him ever.
But reconsider staying with him. I don't want you to be unhappy.
How strange.
You're talented enough to place in contests, yet you can't draw your mother.
Hey, kid! It's not so hard.
Drawing her should be just like drawing your wife!
I don't know what's holding you back, but let it go, you hear?
Only then can you draw her.
Did Chairman Hong call you?
No.
Not yet? What if he refuses?
He just needs some time.
He's probably secretly checking if I spoke the truth about Dodo.
Then he'll calculate what he has to gain from my offer.
I did hear he's very cautious.
Which will prove advantageous for us.
What I told him is the full truth.
So what?
So the more he looks into the matter, the more I'll gain his trust.
That can only help us in the long run.
I swear, there's no one like you in the world.
Thank you, sir.
First I want an explanation before I decide.
You already checked every detail. You want to test me, is that it?
Well?
Here are the plans I have in mind.
I clearly underscored the parts that will be profitable for you.
Too much to read. Just tell me.
I think it'll be best if you read it over carefully.
No. I trust what you say more than these documents.
Thank you, sir.
First I'll spread rumors to decrease the stock value.
I want you to quietly buy them up on the side.
So you want to trick her into thinking this is Dodo's doing?
Precisely.
Then Dodo and Dream In will rush to acquire funds to be used to take over.
We'll take that opportunity to step in and take over.
Do you follow me?
I'll just follow your orders. I'm sure you know better than ol' me.
Thank you, sir.
Alright then. I'm not clear on the details but I'll trust you on this.
Yes, sir.
Look forward to working with you.
I do, too.
Let's get going then.
Sure.
I have much to do before heading back. I'll be real busy.
I see.
I can do it.
No, let me help you.
I'm sorry. My hand slipped.
It's recording right now, isn't it?
Look here, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just insurance...
Seems it was too much pressure for you. Let's pretend I said nothing.
Don't misunderstand. It's a habit, I didn't realize I was doing it.
Really?
Of course. We're family, aren't we?
Okay. Then I'll ignore this little incident.
Thanks.
Mother, why are you lying there?
I didn't eat dinner. I'm too weak to get up.
But it's so late. Where's Na-kyeong?
Out. She never comes home before dark these days.
Went shopping, I see!
Why isn't the helper lady here today?
She asked to be excused. Mother, don't tell me you didn't eat.
Don't mind me as I starve. You keep on shopping.
This is just plain childish. Why are you doing this?
What? Did you just call me childish?
Excuse me for being frank. But you can handle eating dinner alone.
Well then! Jeong-woo, you heard her, didn't you?
She's right, Mother.
What? Even you...?
If no one else is home, you can handle eating on your own.
Starving isn't good for your health.
Jeong-woo! Jeong-woo!
Give me a sec. I'll fix something up after I change.
Forget it! I don't want it!
Just get angry at me if you are.
No, what you said was right.
Not like she's an invalid. She can fix her own meals.
You really think so?
I do.
I never knew you were so understanding. Thank you.
I'll try to pay more attention to Mother.
So my father agreed to help you out?
Yes. I'm very grateful.
Didn't know he was so trusting of you. I wonder why he is.
I wonder, too. Well, all the better for me.
Anyway, I'm glad things worked out.
I'm grateful to you, too.
Don't mention it. We're husband and wife, aren't we?
- We're back. - We're here.
How's Dad?
Geez.
Huh? Mother, this was with you?
See, I told you it wasn't me!
Well, I thought you were sneaking money and hiding your crime.
Like I said, it wasn't me!
Really Mom, can't you trust us?
You left the restaurant to us. You really have to double check our work?
Don't we have to pay the hospital bill? We're barely breaking even these days.
What's there to worry about, Mother?
We didn't ask for this room. The person who put us here will take care of it.
That's proper etiquette, isn't it?
Right on, right on!
I mean, we should take care of it ourselves, shouldn't we?
Of-of course. We have to take care of it.
When will you two grow up? Seriously!
Hey, what's that herbal medicine?
Oh, goody! I was in need of a booster. Let me have a sip.
That's not for you!
Gosh, you're going too far. Just one...
I'm going too far? Why can't you be more like Hyeong-woo?
Keep him company, clip his nails, wash his face, give him a massage.
That's how well he treats his father-in-law!
Sir! Are you bored? I'll give you a refreshing massage.
Gosh, I really hope you wake up soon.
- Mommy! - There's my son!
- Did you behave today? - Yup.
Sorry for making you babysit.
It's fine. Look, how's your father?
He still hasn't woken up. But he'll get better soon.
Of course! That way I can sleep in peace.
Just... I'm so worried about you.
Thank you.
Don't be. The chairwoman's waiting for you.
Okay. Stay with the lady.
I'm home, Mother.
Good to see you. Have a seat.
You didn't have to brew the herbal medicine.
I'm sure your mother's feeling weak with your father like that.
I was very worried.
Why? Do you have something to say?
No. Thank you.
To help pay for the surgery.
I was going to pay it directly but I thought I'd forget.
Keep it with you and pay it on time.
Mother, should I accept this?
Of course you should.
It might take me a long time to repay you.
Say any more and you'll hurt my feelings.
I have a favor to ask.
I know there are other rooms available but you won't let us move my father.
Please let us move to a less expensive room.
Look, it won't be too late to discuss this when your father's awake.
We'll discuss this again then.
That might take a while.
No, he'll be up in no time. I have faith in him.
Eun-young.
You're late. Did you draw some?
- Yes. - Good.
Huh? Mommy and Daddy are married again!
Is it too bland?
Huh? When did we run out of this?
- I'll go buy it real quick. - No, I'll go.
- No, let me. - Geez, she's fast.
- Ex-excuse me. - Yes?
That guy who collapsed here. Is he dead or alive?
Excuse me?
You know, that man who collapsed here not too long ago.
The lady who works here tried to wake him but ended up running inside.
