Episode 14
To: Han Jung Hoon
Let's meet later?
So he's got fire on his feet (desperate).
Who's got fire on his feet?
Mom, you just sit back and enjoy the ride.
What are you... plotting these days?
What do you mean, plotting? The world runs in order.
If you commit a crime, getting punished for it is a given.
Good morning! Come and have some breakfast.
When did you prepare all this?
Here. Drink some juice.
Thank you.
If you're thankful, here, a kiss.
Really.
I even prepared breakfast for you, but you won't even give me that?
I need to eat quickly and go. My Eun Sung is waiting.
Who's the one who told me to come? I'm a busy person, too. I need to go to work.
That's true.
If that jerk comes again, contact me right away
Pardon?
The guy that came and threatened you.
Don't worry about what he comes and yaks about. I'll take care of that problem.
About that... who had him do that?
You don't need to know about that punk. You didn't do the surgery anyway.
Neither of us have anything to feel guilty about.
I'll destroy that bastard so forget about it.
Also, about your illness, leave it to me, too. Soon, there should be some good news.
Good news?
I sent the MRI to the person who's the leading authority in that field.
You just need surgery. There isn't any illness that can't be cured in this world.
That survival rate or whatever, that's all nonsense.
In return, promise me one thing.
Don't run away from now on
Promise me that you'll never run away
Here, promise.
Stamp.
Kiss.
Don't run away again. I'll run after you to the ends of the earth and kiss you.
Now, let's eat.
Here.
What?
Eat up.
Cleanly.
Thank you. You should get going to work.
I'm going to go after I see Eun Sung, too.
Next time. If my mother-in-law sees you, it'll be awkward.
What's there to be awkward about? I can just pay my greetings.
What greetings? Another time.
Another time.
Wait.
What kind of a vacation was so swift?
I know.
Mom, where's Ahjussi?
Huh?
Last night, he came here looking for you. You didn't get a call?
I did, Mother.
So you didn't break up. It was just a fight.
- About that... - Oh, no, no, no.
Don't be uncomfortable because it's me. It's fine.
It's always like that. Men and women fight. It's a natural thing.
Eun Sung really likes him
She was saying 'ahjussi' and 'ahjussi' all day yesterday.
I guess he's a pretty good man.
Just accept him if you can. Get along with him again.
His face was so pale yesterday looking for you. I can tell he likes you.
Don't worry about me. It's fine.
Yeah, yeah, get along well with him.
Mom.
Eun sung, you're awake?
Yes.
Did you have a good trip?
Yeah. Seung Joo, thanks for looking after Eun Sung so well.
There's no need to thank me.
Executive Choi, everyone's dried up in the food service industry so it was a good idea to push forward, right?
It's true. It was a wise foresight.
That's right. Ji Hoon that kid is a proper businessman. He takes after me completely.
- Um... - What?
About Director Han. There's some strange rumor going around.
What strange rumor?
I'll tell you just as what I heard.
There's talk he was involved in the organ trade.
Who says that?
I don't know where that talk came from either.
I just heard the employees talking about it and that's it.
Organ trade? What a ridiculous thing!
Who in the world is spreading such talk?
Please calm down, Chairman.
That punk.
Pardon?
Why, that...
Hey, punk! You said you'd get it done by today.
So get it by today no matter what. Got it?
Ah, I told you I got it. You really have trust issues. Have you been deceived all your life?
What did you say?
Do you know who you're talking to, to speak like that?
Ugh, this punk...
- Ahjussi, please go away! - Aigoo!
You, you, get lost!
Hey, baldie!
- This little— - Hey!
So bald and shiny!
Father.
What a lacking punk you are. Are you that jealous Ji Hoon is so capable?
What are you talking about?
I know you're the one spreading all the rumors about Ji Hoon!
What rumors? I don't know what you're talking about?
Ji Hoon was involved in the organ trade, right?
Pardon?
What do you mean the organ trade? I really don't know what you're talking...
Do you know what this is?
This is a petition made by all of the secretaries you fired.
It is explicitly stated what you did to them.
I put a stop to this before it got out to the media.
What? What did I do?
Go ahead and read it! It'll make you tremble.
Aside from that, there should be another document in there.
It seems that you took company funds and used it well.
And why did you ask for my medical records?
Were you going to say that I suffer from dementia and push me out of the company?
Father!
If you're going to cause a scene, then do it meticuously!
Then I'll forgive you.
You deal with Ji Hoon's situation. If it leaks out to the press, then let's both die together.
Just know I'll expose you of all your doings!
Let us both make this company collapse
and heroically turn ourselves in. Do you understand?
Father!
What is it?
Chairman, this is Miss Kang Hye Soo's medical diagnosis from America.
This includes the MRI readings which Director Han Ji Hoon requested, along with Dr. Parsons' medical opinion.
- You brought this without Ji Hoon knowing, right? - Yes.
How can I... Go get this interpreted!
Yes, sir.
Please be careful.
What are you on about?
On the way back from Onsan,
someone said it quietly.
- The Vice President was in the organ trade? - It's probably not true, right?
Pardon? What's wrong?
This time, it's the organ trade. Sexual harassment and now the organ trade?! Such ridiculous statements!
What... did you just say?
The Vice President must be committing every crime there is. They say this time he's involved in the organ trade!
Who said that?
Where did you this kind of nonsense?! Seriously! I am going crazy!
So tell him to live properly! Why do you think these rumors go around? Soon, he'll be a murderer!
Murd— Murder?! Chef! Chef!
How could you say such things under these cherry blossoms?
Hye Soo, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry.
You don't have to go to the hospital?
No, I just have to take my medicine and sleep. I just feel a little sick.
Joo Yeon.
Thanks.
For what?
Thanks. Thanks for everything.
I'll get better and pay you back.
What are you saying? Lie down.
Doctor's Medical Opinion
I got your mail.
Thank you, Doctor Parsons.
What are you doing with the door all open?
What is it? What are you looking at like that?
Ji Hoon. It's really hard for me to say this,
but there's a rumor going around at the headquarters. The surgery wasn't even done, so isn't this too harsh?
Who leaked this? Who exposed it?!
I have to go to work.
Hey, Ji Hoon. What's wrong?
What a fool...
What is it?
Resignation Letter
This is my resignation. I am sorry that I caused the company so much trouble.
I'll quit before the situation gets worse.
Who said you could write this without permission?
I believe that taking responsibility is the right thing to do if you do something which requires responsibility.
Take it back. There is nothing going on, and we are in the process of a countermeasure.
Settling the issue is not difficult. Do you think I don't have that kind of ability?
No. I don't think this is something that has to be settled.
Please process it.
Thank you for everything during my time here.
Why don't you pick up your phone?
Because I'm busy.
What you want is for me to resign, right?
Okay then. I'll resign.
In return, don't touch that person.
- That person?- I said not to touch that person.
Forget it. What do you mean resign?
I only said it because I was concerned about the company. I have nothing against you.
I was genuinely concerned that perhaps your incident might be exposed and taint the image of the company.
Once I thought about it, anyone can make mistakes.
As your brother, I decided this time to understand you.
I'll be on my way. Just keep my request in mind.
We're here.
I hear you're very ill.
The fact that you were going to go through surgery in your condition,
You've got some ridiculous guts.
How desperate were you to go that far?
Ji Hoon that kid must have been so frustrated.
He even informed a hospital in the US of your illness.
This is that hospital's reply.
Go and read it.
It isn't something to make you feel good so don't have any expectations.
Take it.
Ji Hoon's trapped in a corner these days. Are you aware of it?
The rumor spread and his life is finding its end.
Pardon?
There's no way.
I think you're going to have to get involved.
Say you committed a fake marriage and was about to do an illegal surgery.
I'm asking you to say that you orchestrated it all.
You went after Ji Hoon with money in mind.
But it all went to vain. Let's go with that.
You didn't even have the surgery anyways.
I'll compensate you generously.
Your kid is still young.
You're going to need money for the child until she grows up when you're gone.
I'll draw up an agreement so you just need to sign it.
There won't be any problems with your body.
You won't be going to the police station. I arranged it all.
It's okay to be relieved from this problem.
Chairman.
You have up to tomorrow to think about it.
You are going to leave anyway, so wouldn't it be nice to leave a virtuous mark?
Try and get an interview.
As soon as possible.
The more influential the company the better.
Alright. I'll contact you.
Are you getting a job somewhere?
You suffered a lot putting up with my temper this whole time.
Take care of Promise for me.
Then am I being promoted? Am I the director?
Hey, what happened?
I think Hye Soo and I will be holding a farewell party later.
What? So it's happening?
Is that what it is?
Daeun Hospital
Are the results very negative?
Tell me, doctor.
Actually, just because it's a famous hospital, can it be that different?
Regrettably, it's not much different than ours.
Don't feel so discouraged!
Just do your best for now.
Doctor.
Am I getting better?
Hey, we just started treatment.
It's too early to be disappointed.
Could you just tell me I'm getting better?
Keep your strength up, you're going to get better.
Tell me I'm getting better.
I'm fine even if it's a lie.
Please?
Oh, miss!
Why is it so hard to meet you?
You're like a celebrity.
What do you want now?
What do you mean what do I want? Sign this.
500,000,000 Won
Why are you suddenly smiling?
I can't help but smile. Because so many people want to give me money.
What's that mean?
Just leave. I'm in a bad mood and I'm tired.
Are you sick? You got sick, didn't you?
You made me get sick.
So why are you trying to withdraw?
Mister, do you know what this is?
How would I know what it is?
I'm dying.
It says I'm dying here.
What are you saying all of a sudden?
Don't you know what I'm dying means?
I know. But why are you doing this, to scare me?
If you're scared, then go. Get lost while I say it nicely.
Wait, wait, wait a second.
Wait, wait.
Yes?
I'm here to see her. I told you to stop rushing me.
Forget it, act like it never happened.
What?
I said to act like it never happened, give up on it!
I don't need the sign anymore.
What are you talking about?
Why do you suddenly want to act like it never happened?
Hello? Hello?!
Damn, this guy...
So for now the securities and such
make sure you keep them locked in tight so they don't leak out.
And make sure the media is well controlled.
And first thing tomorrow, announce the appointment.
I'll go and take care of it myself before the rumors spread.
And also, tell Attorney Oh to come to the office early in the morning.
Why are you getting so worked up?
You told Jung Hoon, didn't you?
Tell him what?
Ji Hoon is about to get locked up over organ sales right now.
What are you talking about?
Don't act like you don't know.
Where did you hear that from?
There's no one you know.
By chance did you meet with Na Yoon?
If something should happen, I'm putting an end to Jung Hoon first.
Tell him he should know that.
Oh my. How can you say something like that?
What did Jung Hoon do wrong?
He didn't make anything up.
A crime is a crime.
Sin? It was something he did to save his mother.
It if was Jung Hoon, forget about it, he would never do that.
Good work.
Sorry for the wait. The surgery went very well.
Both are okay.
Thank you.
Your mother should be regaining consciousness.
You can meet her later.
Yes.
Mom.
Congratulations.
Uncle is okay too.
I'll say your greetings for you.
Come outside for a second and let me see you.
- Boss Cha Eun Sung.- What?
What? What are you going to do about this, this, this?
Huh? Forget this one. Put this color on.
I'll believe in you boss.
If you keep this up, I really can't pay you.
Make it pretty.
Mister!
Eun Sung!
- Hello.- Hello.
Where's Hye Soo?
She's a bit tired so she's laying down
Did she go to the hospital?
Do you by any chance, know everything?
Eun Sung do you want to go look at the cherry blossoms and eat ice-cream with me?
Yeah, yeah!
Eun Sung, it's really late. It's about time for you to go to sleep.
I'll come back after going around once. Let's go!
I'll be back soon, auntie! I'll give you your manicure later.
Okay.
Are you sleeping?
No, I'm not sleeping
That person came. He left with Eun Sung.
Tell me truthfully.
Are you dating that person?
Huh?
You two are dating
Then did you do on vacation together?
No, I didn't go with him from the beginning but...
So you did go together. Okay.
That isn't it Joo Yeon...
Oh you. I'll let this one go because you're sick.
I thought at least you, Kang Hye Soo wouldn't hide your feelings.
Let's see... Then is it restarting love after a divorce?
What happened?
Never mind.
Tell me later when you want to tell me.
Hey but Eun Sung really liked him.
Since when couldn't they live without each other?
I was jealous. Director...
Mister, did you make up with mommy?
Of course.
Good job!
Did I do a good job? Thanks.
Mister. Mommy said her head really hurts.
Oh, really?
She'll get better soon. Don't worry.
You're right. My mommy is super strong.
She even said she was going to get better quickly.
Eun Sung. Your mom is strong, energetic, and really pretty.
Right?
You're right.
Your mom is cooler and stronger than anyone I've ever met.
After meeting your mom, I became a lot braver.
I used to be afraid and a baby but after meeting your mom, I suddenly gained strength.
Why?
Your mom called me a good person.
I've lived my life not knowing that.
You're a good person.
Really? Thanks.
It's nothing.
Eun Sung. With you, your mom, and me,
let's live happily and joyfully for a long time.
Okay.
Want to play hide and seek with me?
Oh yeah, I want to!
Okay! Rock, paper, scissors!
I'm going to hide first.
I'm going!
Hide well, I can see you're hair strand. I'm looking for you!
Eun Sung.
Eun Sung?
Eun Sung!
- Eun Sung!- Boo!
You scared me, Eun Sung!
You scared me.
Is it pretty? So! Rock. Paper. Scissors!
Mommy too, rock paper scissors!
Mommy!
Aiyoo. Were you having fun?
Nice to meet you, nice to see you!
What is this? You look great.
This kid, said she was sick. I guess you were pretending.
Why did you go to the hospital alone again? I told you to call me when you go.
Okay, I'll call you next time.
About that brat who threatened you.
Hm?
He won't come looking for you anymore. It was all settled.
That's a relief.
If he comes looking for you again. Report it to me immediately.
Okay. I'll report it to you.
Sorry for making you worry.
Did you by any chance, hear about my results?
Huh?
My MRI scan you sent to America.
That? The results?
Yeah, I saw it.
Even though the results are bad, don't feel heartbroken.
Who said it was bad? They're good, it's great. They said it isn't bad.
If you are good about getting treated, you can fully recover. What did I tell you?
Medical technology these days are so advanced, that that disease is no big deal.
That's good.
Of course, it's a relief.
I know. It worked out great.
Of course. Promise me that you'll always overcome it.
Come on, promise.
Stamp.
Kiss?
Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss?
Kiss.
Let's go, Eun Sung!
Let's go!
Here?
Kang Hye Soo.
There's something I'm wondering about.
If you get a significant other, is there anything you'd want to do?
There must have been something you'd want to do.
Why? Are you going to agree to all of them?
After I hear them.
Walk with our arms linked?
I wanted to go see cherry blossoms,
Ride bikes together.
Sing songs together. Dance together. Also...
How did you live keeping all that in?
I know right? I'm dying trying to contain it all.
Okay. If you're good to me. I'll grant those one by one.
Director... Ji Hoon.
Oppa.
Can't I just go with Ji Hoon-ssi?
Just go with Ji Hoon then.
Ji Hoon (informally).
I've been wondering...
What is it?
Do you really like me?
So cheesy, why do you ask that?
What do you like about me? How much do you like me?
I want to hear it.
Do you want to hear it that bad?
Yeah, tell me.
Words.
No, quit joking and just answer already.
If you keep making me talk, I'm going to keep kissing you.
Quit it!
Mister, I don't like kisses.
Okay Eun Sung. Sorry.
She said she doesn't like kisses, why do you keep kissing me?
I'm the one who kissed you?
Ugh, seriously.
Seo Na Yoon!
Hey, Seo Na Yoon!
You selfish b**ch.
Do you hate me that much?
Why? Why?
Why?
Get out.
Did you know that that bastard liked that woman?
Wow. Seeing you now. You're just like a dog that had a chicken given and taken away.
Hey, Seo Na Yoon. Answer me.
Do you still like that brat? Why, why?!
You pushed me?
Han Jung Hoon.
Did you ever love with someone with a pure heart in your life just once?
A pure heart?
Yes.
I asked if there was a time that you loved with all your heart.
Where is the person who hasn't done that?
Right here.
That person, can love someone like that.
So I like him. I like him now,
and it seems I'll like him forever.
You don't understand me do you?
Go before I call the police.
Don't act all well off!
You're too drunk!
You thought I bounced didn't you. I was looking everywhere for a long time for you.
Who the hell are you, bastard?
If you ordered me around, you need to give me compensation.
What did you do?
You didn't even get the sign.
You told me not to.
Then you just go back to doing whatever you were doing! Why would I give you money, you bastard?
What's with the rat dung-like words that you're saying?
Thanks to your order, I threw away my livelihood and suffered so much.
You can't be like this.
Move you brat.
I don't know what kind of begging bastard you are, but
I'm not in a good mood right now, so don't bother me.
- Beggar bastard?- Get out of the way, you beggar bastard!
You didn't even do any work and you're causing trouble, you bastard! Hey!
I don't owe you a single penny! Get lost!
Let's go.
Let's go!
What did you say?
- Let's go!- Hey bastard!
Did you just say 'hey bastard' to me?!
Come here.
This brat!
Ow! It hurts!- Are you okay?
Good going. ***! I should totally ***. You live off scamming others.
Hey what's the difference between me and you that you're acting all high and mighty?
I oughta just step on you.
You. Make a deposit by tomorrow. With care.
I didn't push you either. You fell by yourself.
That brat.
- Older brother, hello. - What do you want?
The chairman sent this to you.
Also, he told me to congratulate you on the successful surgery.
Is it possible to visit her?
Leave. Leave while I ask nicely.
Then could you contact us when you're feeling more comfortable?
- The Chairman said there's something he must discuss with her about his son. - Gee.
Here.
That brat.
Let me know if your arm gets numb.
Your husband sent that.
How do you feel? Is your body alright?
Did you sort out your thoughts?
- Yes.- Okay.
You've made a huge choice. Thank you.
Read through the contents.
Let me tell you again. There will be no damage done to you.
It'll be used only to block the rumors circulating at the company,
You can feel relieved now.
How much do you need to be compensated?
How much do you think?
Chairman, here.
What's this?
It's the money I asked for last time.
I want to return it.
Why are you returning it?
It wasn't money I should have received in the first place.
Since I wasn't sure of how long I had to live, I wanted to leave it for my child.
So?
If my child were to be raised on this money. I don't think I could have a clean conscience as a mother.
No matter how short of a time I have left,
this exchange wasn't ethical.
I want to be a mother who isn't ashamed next to their child.
I'm sorry. Please re accept it.
Also there's no need for me to be financially compensated.
If Regional Headquarter Manager Han Ji Hoon could be saved,
then I'm willing to sign for anything.
What are you hoping for that you're acting like this?
I'm not hoping for anything.
I'm just doing this to save that person.
It'd be good enough if just this helps.
Then, I'll be going.
When did you come?
Are you okay?
Who sent this?
Your father.
He did?
Who knows when I'm dying and he sends that.
He said he had a favor to ask.
It's obviously about you.
What did you like about father?
Back then, he wasn't of that extent.
He still used to have a pure side.
I wonder what made him become like that.
After succeeding, he became like that after having so many things to protect.
If a person has a lot of things to protect,
then they lose very precious things.
Ji Hoon. Don't be like that.
Is there absolutely no possibility for surgery?
Not even 1%?
For now, it's too dangerous.
Once the tumor shrinks, we can discuss it then.
What is the possibility of it shrinking?
Is it shrinking?
In truth, the radiation therapy effects have been slight.
This is a medical opinion about her treatment from America.
Could you take a look just for reference?
Kang Hye Soo showed me this, so I've already seen it.
You didn't hear?
What are you talking about?
Your wife brought it to me yesterday.
I've already spoken to her about it.
She brought this to you?
Yes, this is it.
Did you not see each other?
Are you really spouses?
Be strong.
Next patient.
Chung Sun Yong
Hello, Director Kim. This is Han Ji Hoon.
Did you by chance see my father?
I see. I'll be in touch again.
That woman had confessed.
What?
She had admitted to what she had done.
That she wrote a formal letter of apology stating that she seduced you into a fake marriage to do blackmarket organ trading.
What did you say? Formal letter of apology?
Stop acting like you don't know, kid. This isn't something to be allowed to let slide.
It's something you did. You pretended to be so self-righteous. But this is what it amounted to?
Why didn't you just sue your wife?
Father is holding a shareholders' meeting.
He's explaining that, so you should go.
He told me not to attend so I'm sitting out.
Since this is a disgrace to the family, he probably wishes it never happened.
That jerk.
I am deeply regretful of and recant
the actions that I had taken
in seducing and scamming the victim, Han Ji Hoon.
Though the case ended with the victim unwilling to press charges,
I am ready to undergo strict punishment for my actions.
I am deeply apologetic that I have caused the company trouble.
Here. Her signature's here,
so if needed take a look. Executive Director Choi you also have a look too.
Here, here.
It appears that Executive Director Han Ji Hoon is going to explain it himself.
Yeah, okay. We'll go discuss it briefly and be back. Just a minute, Ji Hoon.
- Please have a seat-Let's go out for a moment.-Please have a seat.
Oh, okay.
This is not the truth.
I'll explain the situation myself.
Since it involves me.
That woman is not at fault in this matter. The one who knew it was illegal to trade organs
and did it was me. I needed it, so I paid off that woman.
I am deeply sorry for inflicting damages onto the company.
I will hold myself responsible for everything and step down.
Crazy bastard. Are you in your right mind?
Did you give this to Kang Hye Soo?
Did you already find out in that short time?
Why did you give it to her?
She didn't tell you that?
When did you receive her formal letter of apology?
You crazy troublemaker. You don't know how to be grateful.
You're here to quibble about that?
What did you say to that woman?
What's so great about a dying woman that you've lost all reasoning?
I told her to do some good deeds before she died.
Why? She's more vicious the more I get to know her.
How long ago was it that she took it? She brought it back and handed it to me.
She's on a completely different level.
I suppose seducing you was a huge gain.
When she thinks about the inheritance, she probably
tremendously regrets getting divorced.
- Father,...-After learning of her impending death,
there's no end to her greed.
I guess all people are like that though.
Father, how... how can you be like that?
How do you expect me to face her? How am I supposed to face her?
You're so naive. When are you going to open your eyes to the world?
I'm making all this effort for your sake,
how can you not see that? Do you know how hard I'm working?
I'm doing this all for you. To save you.
I don't need any of that.
If I did something wrong, it's a given that I should be punished.
Whether this company becomes yours or not hangs on this.
Is there a reason to ruin your life because of a woman?
What are you going to do going forward?
- Father, -Do you have to be stripped down and chased out
for you to get a hold of yourself?
You don't know how scary this world is, do you?
I'll be driven out.
Chase me out. I'll go into this scary world.
No matter how scary it is, I don't think it will be as scary as you.
Goodbye.
I understand. You're no longer my son.
Don't appear before me ever again!
Hello! Be careful!
Here. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Eun Sung, did you have fun today?
Should we go bike riding today?
Sounds good.
-Bye-bye to Auntie!-Bye!
Have a good time!
When did you get here?
Here, I want to hug Eun Sung, too.
And a hug for Mom, too. I'm going to hug everyone!
