[Episode 10: A Tender Farewell]
What are you thinking so hard about?
It's strange.
Maybe it's because this is my first time.
But he does so much for me...
But how should I say it?
I don't feel like Cinderella...
But it feels like he's treating me well as a devoted son.
Is this normal?
It sounds like things are going well with Director Cha.
No, not really...
Do you think you'll be okay?
It might be different from what you expect.
He's not an average person.
That's true.
But...
Don't you feel suffocated if you cover up like that?
I feel more comfortable this way.
You're not a woman who's easy.
I've never thought that way about you, not even once.
I've never had a more difficult woman in my life.
That's why you can let loose now.
In front of me, at least.
I feel that way too.
To me, there's only one man...
like you.
I'm going to follow my heart for now.
Okay, sounds good.
Joo Hye Ri?
Why did you drink so much? Are you all right?
- You suck. - What is she saying?
Joo Hye Ri, pull yourself together.
If you're drunk, you should go home. What are you doing here?
Hey, you... You!
I hate you so much...
Are you crying? Why are you crying?
Hey, Pancake! My life is ruined because of you.
My life is completely ruined.
Fine, if you have something to say, say it now.
I'll listen to all of it.
Hey, you're just a one-night stand. It was just one night.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Hey, what was it again?
It's... It's going to burst?
That's a load of bullshit.
What is it that burst, exactly?
Hey, it doesn't make any sense.
As the daughter of an erotic actress, what are you trying to do?
Did you dream of turning your life around overnight?
Do you think it's as easy as flipping pancakes back and forth?
You look like a pancake too.
- It's not like that. - What's not like that?
You know, the fact that I exist in a country...
with a woman like you...
really... embarrasses me.
I'm begging you. If you're a one-night stand, act like one...
and get lost, okay?
Because you disappeared without a word...
I couldn't date anyone...
I couldn't eat nor sleep properly...
and I just worked myself to the bone.
Sir, can you turn the car around?
Yes.
What brings you here at this hour?
I was wondering who that spectacular woman you were dating was.
But this is it?
A one-night stand?
Joo Hye Ri, how... did you find out about that?
Don't you think... you're being too harsh?
It's been 10 years... in 10 years...
so much can change in that period of time.
But why haven't you changed?
Why aren't you accepting my feelings for you?
Do my 10 years mean nothing to you?
Is your one night with that wench that much more meaningful? Huh?
That one night...
completely changed my life.
- Jin Wook. - She means that much to me.
I can't take you home tonight. Get home safely.
What am I supposed to do when I can't help it?
I don't care if every other guy likes me...
If you're the only one doesn't like me...
Hey, you son of a bitch!
So it's you.
Pardon me for just a moment. This is for your sake.
What are you doing?
You're clearly not a customer.
Who gave you permission to touch someone else's child?
I have the right to meet him.
The right? Who on earth are you?
Go away.
Hey, what the heck are you saying?
Why are you touching someone else's child?
- Don't look at me like that. - Should I report you to the police--
Hey, get out of my way!
What the heck are you saying? Explain yourself.
Geez, I told you to butt out of this.
- You look like an old muzzle-- - A muzzle?
- Gosh, seriously-- - Who do you think you're talking to?
- You want to take me on? - This lady. Move.
Did you just hit me?
This woman, seriously.
You're just a one-night stand. It was just one night.
I'm begging you.
If you're a one-night stand, act like it...
and get lost, okay?
[Director Cha]
Geez. Damn it, Chairman Cha!
Hey, what the heck are you saying?
- This woman... - This woman? What about me?
I'm here to check if this child is related to our family!
Excuse me, why would our Dong Goo be a part of your family?
Jae Sook, please take Dong Goo over there.
- Hey, wait. - Look here.
Mister, have we ever been intimate with one another?
- Because I don't remember. - Hey.
Why would I?
Chairman Cha.
I'm here to check.
To see if that kid is Jin Wook's son.
Um, what do you mean?
Father!
What are you doing here?
Since you just sat there wasting time, I came here to deal with it myself.
What's going on here?
Lee Yoo Mi.
I know everything.
Dong Goo is my--
What the hell are you doing with my Dong Goo?
He's my son! I gave birth to myself!
Are you looking down on my womb or what? Huh?
Seriously.
I can't stand for this any longer.
What?
Is it true?
- Is he really not my son? - He's not.
I already told you that my mom brought him here.
He's my half-brother.
What was I doing all this time then?
Then, everything you did for me...
everything you said...
was it all because you thought he was your son?
I didn't know that...
and felt my heart flutter, was moved...
and was happy all on my own?
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
- Chairman Cha. - Father.
- Let's talk. - No.
Later... Let's talk later.
Go.
You dumb bastard!
Did you reject Hye Ri for that gold digger?
- She's not like that. - Do you expect me to believe that?
Her mom was an erotic actress, so she's a gold digger!
- I'm embarrassed. - Don't speak so carelessly.
It was you who made assumptions and blew this out of proportion.
- What? - All you talk about is grandchildren.
Aren't you embarrassed?
What? What did I do?
She better brace herself. She dared to fool around with Daebok Group!
I'll make sure she never sees you again!
Don't you dare...
lay a finger on that woman. I'm not a child anymore.
I won't... just sit back and watch like I did when my mother left.
I'm begging you. I'll get going now.
Everything you did for me...
Everything you said...
was it because you thought he was your son?
I didn't know that...
and felt my heart flutter, was moved...
and was happy all on my own?
Because you disappeared without a word...
I couldn't date anyone, I couldn't eat nor sleep properly...
and worked myself to the bone.
I didn't forget about you for a single moment.
I've already decided that...
you're not alone anymore.
I didn't know it was because of that. I was so stupid.
Here.
Nutritionist Lee, have some sweet potato wedges.
Huh?
This is perfect! I was craving something sweet. Thank you!
No.
Bring it to him.
Why? Don't you want to? Should I go instead?
We're trying to come up with a name for this project.
How about this? "I'm Your Father."
I'm here from the cafeteria.
Come in!
Please snack on some sweets while you work.
Does she hate the sight of me now?
Pardon me?
It's nothing. Thank you. Please leave it there.
Enjoy.
Hye Ri, about today's spicy food special...
Cheongyang red pepper, Thai pepper, and red pepper.
If you use all three types of peppers...
you can create spicy flavors without a chemical additive like capsaicin.
It's really spicy, it is...
But I miss him...
I mean, it's so spicy, I want to keep eating it.
Did I make it too spicy? Hye Ri, are you all right?
No... I mean, yes. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just fine.
Oh my. Hye Ri, are you crying?
No, I usually really like spicy food...
- I must have made it too spicy. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. What's wrong with me? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Oh my, what do we do? I'm so sorry.
- Cut! - I'm sorry.
- Don't cry. - I'm so sorry...
It's okay. Don't cry.
[Joo Hye Ri cries her eyes out on air...]
[Is there something wrong with her relationship with Mr. C?]
[Joo Hye Ri's spicy chicken feet is the hot topic?]
[Joo Hye Ri made a fuss over chicken feet on air...]
[And chicken feet restaurants' sales are rising as a result.]
[Did Mr. C dump her?] [He's the Daebok Group heir.]
[The underwear company?] [No way...]
[Cha Jin Wook of Daebok Group?] [I knew it.]
[Why did Joo Hye Ri cry?]
She said she was going to quit after getting married, but she was dumped.
[Joo Hye Ri caused a fuss on air and stopped the show!]
Joo Hye Ri acted so high and mighty. I knew this would happen.
This isn't the first time a celebrity, announcer or a model was dumped by Mr. C.
- Miss Hye Ri! - A statement, please!
- Move aside! - Miss Hye Ri!
[Did she cry because of a breakup?]
[Joo Hye Ri breaks down on "The Best Pupil of Cheongdam-dong."]
[Is Mr. C secretly dating his company nutritionist?]
[Joo Hye Ri only had a crush...] [Did Mr. C cheat on her?]
- It's so cute. - I should buy it for my husband and son.
Wow, these turned out well.
What is this? Is it skin atopy?
She should have bought him good-quality underwear since his skin is so sensitive.
Director Cha, this is something out of the ordinary.
This was my idea.
Shouldn't this kind of response be expected?
It's not that.
It's this.
[Announcer Joo Hye Ri broke down in tears because of Mr. C....]
- What are you doing? - A friend sent me a tabloid...
It says Director Cha has a child.
And on top of that, the mother of his child works at this company.
Oh, really?
Who could it be? This is annoying.
Nutritionist Lee, where are you going?
Oh, I'm going to the washroom.
[Poor Joo Hye Ri...] [That must have been exciting.]
[She got a rich guy.] [A one-night stand isn't a good thing.]
Hey, did you see the tabloids?
That employee is our company's nutritionist, isn't she?
Unbelievable. Is this what they were doing when she made his meals?
She doesn't look like that type...
But you really can't judge a book by its cover.
This is unbelievable.
[Who is the female employee?] [Isn't it the woman who made his meals?]
It's very unfortunate that this happened soon after your new product released.
Do you have another great idea to make this crisis into an opportunity?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.
Are you planning to ruin everything for that girl?
- Hey, did you hear the rumors? - What?
Oh, but what does it mean he has a child?
I heard it's not his kid.
What? I heard they had a one-night stand. Did she try to take his money?
Oh my gosh.
- What the hell is she doing? - This is no joke.
Director Cha, I don't think you should approach her for the time being.
If you try to hold onto her, she might run away.
Just like your mother did.
Those two should never have met.
Not three years ago, or even now.
Sometimes...
Well, no...
I thought about you quite often.
Whenever I drank wine...
Whenever I came here...
And whenever I got 500 won back as change, I flipped the coin.
I don't regret it.
Because I was being honest to my feelings, at least.
I don't regret it either.
Thank you, Director Cha.
Yoo Mi!
Geez.
Geez, seriously.
Hey, loosen up, and keep your eye on the ball.
It won't work if you just swing it around like that.
Shut up.
Hey! Hey, one more round?
Hey, I already spent 30,000 won here.
- Let's go. - What?
Gosh, I finally got the hang of it.
- Cheapskate! - What?
Hey, Lee Yoo Mi!
How do you feel? Did you relieve your stress?
Yeah, I relieved all my stress.
- Why aren't you asking me about it? - What?
I'm sure you saw the tabloids too.
I don't know. Do I have to ask you anything?
You were right all along.
That man and I live in completely different worlds.
If I continue to like him...
It'll become more difficult for me.
Hey, isn't this a bit hectic for my first dating experience?
It is. You got a proper hazing ritual.
- It even beats romance novels. - Hey, Jung Hyun Tae!
Geez, you idiot.
This is why you should read meaningful books instead of those erotic novels.
What? Come here. Hey! Come here! Hey!
- Were you with Hyun Tae? - What?
Yeah.
Did I wake you up?
What did that director say?
What could he say? Don't worry about it.
If he plays dumb after causing all this fuss, then he's not a good person.
Forget about him.
He's not the only man in this world! This is just the beginning!
There are countless good guys out there. You're attractive enough--
I got it. Dong Goo might wake up.
Your speaking skills are just as good as your writing skills.
Then, I have one final question.
What is a vacation? Please give us your definition.
A vacation... is like dating.
What does that mean?
The way your heart races with excitement before a vacation.
The fun you have while learning about a new place.
The sadness you feel when the vacation ends and you go back home.
In these ways, it's quite similar to dating.
If you put it that way, I think you're right.
Announcer Joo Hye Ri, have you traveled solo before?
No, I haven't tried traveling solo yet.
Please try it.
It feels like you're dating.
Okay, cut!
- Very good! - Thank you for your hard work.
- Thank you. - Yes, thank you.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
You're good. I don't know why you kept refusing to do it.
It's because I'm very good at adapting to new circumstances.
Please consider my advice.
Don't you think you're old enough for true love, rather than a crush?
Don't worry about my life.
Geez, you did a good job today. Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Yes.
You don't know who she is yet, do you?
I don't think it's anyone from our department.
I'm dying of curiosity.
Enjoy.
I'll do it. Take a break.
- No, that's okay. - Hurry!
Yes, please enjoy.
Team Leader, it's me.
I think I need to transfer to another workplace.
There's a personal matter...
I'd appreciate it.
Think about it carefully.
If she's with you, do you think there will be more days when she's smiling
or more days when she's crying?
Please look favorably upon me.
Do you want to try it? No tears whatsoever.
- That's okay. - Stop talking!
It's hand cream. I had it at home. Use it.
Thank you.
You did it, Lee Yoo Mi.
I'm proud of you.
[Nutritionist Lee Yoo Mi]
Unbelievable.
[Chopped Steak]
Why did we come here?
I have something to say. I'll meet you near your house.
I was going to call you too.
I'm sorry I didn't call you.
There were many things I had to deal with.
Director Cha.
Thank you... for everything you've done for me.
If I stay here...
I think it'll be uncomfortable for both of us.
- I requested a transfer-- - What do you mean?
Are you telling me you're leaving the company?
I feel like I'm a little late...
but I think it's for the best.
I know...
I know it's really hard for you.
But, this isn't right.
No. You can't leave. I won't let you.
I have no intention in getting your permission.
I don't want to become more pitiful.
I'll get going.
[Epilogue: I'm the only one in love?]
I didn't know that...
And felt my heart flutter, was moved...
and was happy all on my own?
[Please answer me. Why aren't you talking? Is it true?]
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
- Chairman Cha. - Father.
[I know I should be wiping away your tears right now.]
- Let's talk. - No.
Later... Let's talk later.
Go.
[Epilogue: That is how we parted.]
[What expression should I have when I run into him?]
[Okay, let's end it here.]
[I'm sure she came to work. I wonder if she slept well.]
[Lee Yoo Mi, please hold onto me.]
[In the end, are we fated to brush past one another?]
[Epilogue: "It Can't Become Two" - Won Tae Yeon]
I know if you subtract one from two...
It should be one...
But if you're gone, I can't be one...
And I know one plus one should be two...
But if we're together, we can't become two...
It's a matter of time until I have to be one...
But after letting you go...
I'm unable to find my rightful place...
I am unable to sense my existence...
Even if I repeat the words that sends chills down my spine...
I still can't be one.
I'm praying to go back in time.
Even if two minus one could be one...
Me minus you, cannot be one.
I don't think I can look back.
If I look back, I feel like I'll really go back.
I won't look back, because I might regret it.
Ever since I left...
No matter what reasons I hold up...
I know I can't explain myself.
The reason why I couldn't tell you I'm sorry...
The reason why I couldn't tell you I love you...
was because of my conscience.
The words inside my heart...
It's probably over 1,000 words...
But in the end, I couldn't say a single word.
No matter how much I miss it, the old memories won't come back.
Those precious moments...
won't be happy to see me again.
In the future... In the distant future...
I will regret it.
I will look back when that time comes.
[My Secret Romance]
I'm sorry for transferring all of a sudden.
Get ready to take over my position.
- Did you know? I like you. - What?
- Where were you before? - Daebok Group...
Oh my, do you know it?
Is it really over with that guy?
I'll be okay soon.
Eat first. I'm really worried about you.
Her mom was an erotic actress.
Where did Lee Yoo Mi go? Where did she go?
