My gosh.
Stay still. It must hurt.
This is nothing...
compared to your pain.
I'm sorry.
There's nothing I can do to help you.
No, don't say that.
I'm already grateful...
that you believe in me.
By the way, wasn't there a board meeting today?
How did things go?
You didn't lose your job, did you?
I hope that didn't happen.
You're in no place to worry about me right now.
Nothing bad happened to me, so you don't need to worry.
Se Na, are you ready?
Mom.
How do I look?
You're pretty.
You're finally becoming the daughter-in-law of Choigo Foods.
- We'll be late. Let's go. - Okay.
- Mother! - Hey.
I'm sorry for making you wait.
Welcome. We also just got here.
Mother, come sit over here. You too, Se Na.
Is Sun Ho not here yet?
He'll be here soon. He just called and said he's on his way here.
My gosh, both families have finally gathered together.
Both your children have become...
our son and granddaughter-in-law.
Our families must've been destined to meet each other.
You're right.
Se Na did achieve something great at the recent board meeting.
If it weren't for her,
Sun Ho wouldn't have been able to keep his position.
Thank you so much, Se Na.
There's no need to thank me. I just did what I had to.
Please continue to help Sun Ho and Choigo Foods grow in the future.
- Okay, I will. - Okay.
Mr. Song.
Please wake up.
You said you'll come back in a healthy state.
So many customers are waiting for you to return.
Here.
See?
So many people are rooting for you to become healthy again.
Get out of here right now.
Did you do something to my dad?
No, I was just worried about him.
Dad.
Mr. Song.
Dad, are you awake?
I'll bring the doctor.
Hello, Dal Nim.
What? Mr. Song gained his consciousness?
Okay, I'll go to the hospital right now. Bye.
By the way, Sun Ho seems to be running late.
What's going on?
I thought he was on his way from work.
I'll try calling him.
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
- Isn't he picking up? - No.
My gosh, what's going on?
What if something happened to him?
Where are you, Sun Ho? Why aren't you here?
What? You're going to the hospital?
Okay. I'll explain to the family.
Why is he going to the hospital? What's happening?
You're here.
How did things go? Did you meet him?
Not yet. He gained his consciousness,
but his son's preventing us from seeing him.
Why aren't you letting us see your father?
Is it because you have something to hide?
What are you talking about? Watch what you say.
You wouldn't be doing this if you were confident.
The doctor said he needs to rest.
If anything happens to my dad,
are you going to take responsibility?
It's no use waiting here, so you should go back.
It won't take long.
I'll just check how he's doing.
Didn't you hear what I said?
We're not going to move an inch.
We're going to wait here until he agrees to meet us.
He's right. I'm also going to stay here until I get to see him.
Do whatever you wish.
Chef Jung, you should go back to the restaurant.
You shouldn't be gone from the restaurant for too long.
She's right. Dal Nim and I will stay here.
Okay, call me if anything happens.
Don't worry about the restaurant.
I'll come back after I finish work.
I can't believe this.
How can he lay aside the family meeting...
to run over to the hospital...
to meet the owner of the instant noodle restaurant?
How important is that owner to him anyway?
Does he mean more to him than the family meeting?
This is all because of Dal Nim.
Dal Nim's trying to find the culprit of the recipe leak.
That's why Sun Ho's being like this.
I can't believe Sun Ho's being like this on top of Jae Wook.
Why are they so obsessed about helping Dal Nim?
Dal Nim blocks everything we try to do.
She completely ruined our day.
I can't just stand still.
I should go to the hospital.
What are you doing here?
Where's Dal Nim?
Why are you here alone?
She just went to the convenience store to get some drinks.
But why are you doing this here?
Mr. Song isn't letting us see his father, so we're waiting.
Then are you planning to wait here all night...
until he lets you see him?
Dal Nim can just wait here alone.
Why do you need to join her?
This isn't just Dal Nim's personal problem, but it's the company's.
It's something I should take responsibility as the director.
Do you really not know why I'm being like this?
Today wasn't any ordinary day. We had a family meeting today.
Both our families were waiting for you.
How could you come straight to the hospital?
This place will be fine without you,
but that's not the case for the family meeting.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Did you have to ruin such an important day?
I'm sorry for what I did,
but this is as important as the family meeting.
Are you saying Dal Nim's more important than our wedding?
No, wait.
Are you saying Dal Nim's more important than me?
What are you talking about?
I'm just trying to find out the truth behind the recipe leak.
Why do you keep connecting things with Dal Nim?
You're the one who's making me do that.
I wouldn't be so sensitive if you didn't act like this.
I really didn't know you'd be like this.
If you were considerate enough to think about how I'd feel,
you wouldn't be able to act like this.
I'm sorry,
but please think of it in my shoes too.
I'm not doing this because I don't care about you.
What are you doing here, Ms. Hong?
Are you really asking because you don't know?
How can you be so selfish?
How could you ask Sun Ho to come here...
when you already knew about the family meeting?
The family meeting got ruined...
because Sun Ho came here instead.
Stop it. It's not Dal Nim's fault.
What family meeting? I didn't know anything about that.
Se Na, you should go now.
Does that mean you're going to stay here?
I'm going to stay here until I get to meet Mr. Song.
Things can only be cleared after we meet him in person.
It's okay. You should go. I can stay here alone.
Chef Jung will be here soon.
Okay, fine.
You can stay here or leave. Do whatever you want.
You should go after her.
You don't need to worry. It's a problem between Se Na and me.
I'll take care of it on my own.
The family meeting should've been his first priority.
Why did he go running to the hospital?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
My gosh, I was so embarrassed to face Se Na's mother.
I think Sun Ho's being a bit thoughtless sometimes.
Don't be like that.
I also feel sorry towards Se Na's mother,
but it's as important as the family meeting.
Probably, Sun Ho didn't have a choice.
Se Na's mother is one thing,
but Se Na would've been very upset about this.
You're right. If it were me, I would've gotten so angry.
Hasn't Sun Ho contacted you yet?
He called us a while ago.
He said he's going to stay there all night until he gets to see him.
I hope the owner testifies the truth.
But don't you think...
the owner would have obviously given the recipe to his own son?
Why would he give it to a complete stranger?
I think Dal Nim stole the recipe from him.
I think so too.
We'll be able to find out about that with time.
Let's see who's lying.
Chef Jung, when did you get here?
You look really tired.
You can sleep a bit more. I'll lend you my shoulder.
I have a really heavy head because I'm intelligent.
Where's Sun Ho?
He went out for a walk.
Aren't you allowed to see him yet?
No. Only his family members are allowed to see him.
Sun Ho.
- When did you get here? - Just now.
Did you eat dinner?
I had gimbap and a sandwich.
I knew you would've eaten lightly, so I brought you some food.
Let's eat and cheer up.
Director Hyun, it's me.
I'm calling about Mr. Song's father.
We can't make him refuse visitors forever.
Dal Nim and Sun Ho won't budge...
until they get to see him.
We have to take care of this one day anyway.
Try coming up with a good plan with Mr. Song.
Do you understand?
I'll tell Mr. Song to make sure his dad keeps quiet.
I'm sure he'll take his son's side instead of Dal Nim's.
Okay. I'll trust you then.
(Hanguk Hospital)
Even if we get to see Mr. Song's father, I'm still quite worried.
About what?
Mr. Song could've told his father not to reveal the truth,
so that it won't cause him a disadvantage.
So his father could lie because he couldn't refuse...
his son's request.
I also thought about that possibility.
If that happens, it will work negatively towards Dal Nim.
Seeing him in person won't benefit us at all.
But I believe in him.
I'm sure he won't lie.
He did his best to keep his instant noodles restaurant...
even after his wife had passed away.
From that, I know he won't lie.
What are you doing here, Se Na?
Why? Am I not allowed to be here?
How could I be at ease...
when you're spending the night here?
But aren't you allowed to see him yet?
As you can see, no visitors are allowed to see him.
Until when do they want us to wait?
I'll try talking to him.
Mr. Song.
I'll let you meet my dad,
but you can't take too long.
You must leave after saying what you must.
Thank you.
Let's go inside.
Did you get a call from Director Hyun?
Yes, don't worry.
I told my dad what to say.
Mr. Song, how do you feel? Do you feel better now?
Dad, these people have something they want to ask you.
He needs to rest, so hurry up and ask him.
Mr. Song, is it true that you gave Dal Nim...
the secret recipe of your glasswort extract?
Please tell us the truth.
This is a very important matter to our company.
I was there when you gave it to her.
Dal Nim's being accused as a thief.
Please just tell us the truth.
Dad.
That woman stole the recipe from you, right?
She did, right?
Mr. Song.
Well, the thing is...
Yes, Dad. Please go on.
I gave it...
to her.
Dad!
She didn't steal it, but I gave it to her.
Mr. Song, thank you. Thank you so much.
Dal Nim managed to prove her innocence.
But we still can't prove...
that Food and Top stole the recipe.
That will be hard to prove unless Mr. Song confesses the truth.
I'll try my best to convince him though.
I'm not going to give up.
Write a news release and send it to the press.
We need to let everybody know that Dal Nim didn't steal the recipe.
Okay, I will.
Dal Nim didn't steal the recipe?
No, Mr. Song told us the truth.
I believed in her,
but I feel relieved to check once again that she's innocent.
It's a relief that she proved her innocence,
but we still can't find who leaked the recipe.
Please give us some more time.
Dal Nim and I are trying hard.
We'll be able to find out the truth if we can convince Mr. Song.
If you and Dal Nim wish to do so, go ahead.
Okay.
I think I should hurry up and get married to Sun Ho...
before he finds out about the recipe leak.
Mom, we don't need to have a family meeting again.
Just fix a wedding date.
Okay, I'll talk about it with Sun Ho's mother.
Hello, Ms. Ko.
The reason I asked to see you today is...
because I wanted to talk to you about the wedding.
I don't think we need to have a family meeting again.
Our families have already known each other well,
so let's not bother to have another family meeting.
Let's just fix a wedding date and have them get married.
We can do that if that's what you wish to do.
I knew you'd agree,
so I already picked out a good date for their wedding.
Don't you think next month is a bit too quick?
What do you mean?
You and I are going to be the ones preparing for the wedding,
and they won't need to buy...
too much furniture since they're going to live here with you.
I guess you're right.
Then let's prepare their wedding to meet this date.
Come in.
What's going on?
Our mothers both met up and discussed about our wedding.
They agreed to have us get married...
without having to go through a family meeting again.
Don't you think we're rushing our marriage?
Why? Don't you want to get married quickly?
The new product development got canceled,
and we need to prepare for a new project.
We have so much work to do.
Plus, the board of directors have their eyes on our performance.
It might help to get married as soon as possible,
and show that you're stable.
You remember Aunt Ruby's reserved the wedding shop for us, right?
I'll go straight to the shop after I meet my client.
I think the meeting will take quite some time though.
Can't you just go with Aunt Ruby?
It's not like I need to be there.
I'll wait until you come.
How can you refuse your own son's request?
How can you do a favor to a complete stranger?
How can you do that to me? This makes no sense at all.
I'm sorry, Min Woo.
I don't want to hear you apologize!
If things turn out badly, I'm going to cut ties with you forever.
I'm going to abandon you without looking back.
You better keep that in mind.
I'm sorry, Mr. Song.
I'm worried...
that you might end up in bad terms with your son because of me.
No, don't worry. He might be a bit harsh with his words,
but he's very kind and honest at heart.
So don't worry too much.
But because of me...
I can't make someone else's child suffer,
just so I can protect my own child.
Mr. Song.
I need to prevent him from walking the wrong path...
even if that means he'll resent me for that.
That's...
the last thing I can do as his father.
Your son will understand you with time.
So please cheer up.
Yes, I should.
So you should also do your best to reveal the truth.
If you don't, all of this would've been for nothing.
You know what I mean, right?
Yes, I promise that I will.
I'm never going to give up. I'll reveal the truth no matter what.
(Sun Ho)
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
(Mr. Jang)
I'm Hong Se Na.
Is Director Choi still in the meeting?
He finished the meeting a while ago,
and he ran out after he got an urgent phone call.
Do you know what it is about?
No, I don't.
Okay.
Could he have gone to see Dal Nim again?
What brings you here without any prior notice?
What do you mean?
I heard Director Choi's going to get married soon.
Director Choi is your one and only grandson,
so it's only natural for me to come here to congratulate you.
Congratulations.
That's enough of the introduction.
Why did you really come here?
My gosh, I'm sure you already know why I'm here.
Director Choi is trying to dig up the recipe leak,
and it's giving me a headache.
The team manager's father is hospitalized right now,
and I heard he keeps going there to ask him questions.
So I hope you tell your grandson to stop doing so.
If you're confident,
why are you asking me this kind of favor?
Did you think I was asking you a favor?
My goodness. I was actually giving you a warning.
I guess you can't hear that well...
because you've aged now.
What did you say?
Don't get too angry.
Today, I'm here to give you a yellow card.
But if I ever hear about this kind of thing again,
you'll have to walk out after getting a red card.
Are you trying to compete against me right now?
My gosh, I'm only trying to give you a chance.
I'm trying to give you a chance to save yourself.
If you and I keep quiet,
nobody will find out about that incident.
Anyway, please convince your grandson...
not to cause a fuss anymore.
Sun Ho.
Why did Director Hyun come to see Grandma?
I don't know. He just suddenly came out of nowhere.
So I called you just in case.
Where's Director Hyun?
He's talking with your grandmother in her room. You should go inside.
Okay.
My goodness, Director Choi. Long time no see.
What brings you all the way here?
Were you worried that I might do something to your grandmother?
My goodness, I'm not that kind of person.
I already know that you were behind the recipe leak.
I don't have any clear evidence to prove that yet,
but the truth will soon be revealed soon.
How are you planning to reveal something I didn't even do?
You must have quite a talent.
Thank you for the tea.
The tea had a very nice fragrance.
I'll be going now.
By the way,
how's Dal Nim doing?
Please say hello to her for me.
You should go talk to your grandmother.
Okay.
Grandma.
What did Director Hyun say to you?
About that recipe leak.
You should stop investigating it, and let it go.
What are you talking about? I can't do that.
Just let it go if I tell you to.
What did he say to you for you to suddenly change your mind like this?
If you keep investigating, it could only make things worse.
The board of directors also agreed to let go of what happened,
so you should also stop here.
I can't accept this.
Are you going to go against me?
I made this decision for the company.
So just do as I say!
Why aren't you answering me?
Okay, I'll do as you say.
We have to let go of the recipe leak?
Did the chairwoman really say that?
Yes.
I don't understand why she made such a decision.
Me neither.
She was persistent about revealing the truth just a couple days ago.
But the weird thing is that...
she changed her mind after Director Hyun visited her.
Did anything happen between you and Director Hyun?
He recently came to see me at the restaurant.
Did he say anything to you?
He just said he dropped by while he was nearby.
He didn't say anything else.
What are you two doing here?
- Se Na. - I just asked you a question.
What were you guys talking about?
Dal Nim, did you call Sun Ho to come here again?
What is it this time? Go on and tell me!
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Follow me. You can talk with me. Come outside.
Why didn't you come to the wedding shop?
I told you not to wait.
Do you have time to come here...
when you don't have time to go to the wedding shop?
How can a bride try on a wedding dress by herself?
How miserable do I need to become?
Did you come here because Dal Nim called you again?
No, it's not like that. Don't get mistaken.
Director Hyun suddenly came to see my grandmother.
I came here because I had to talk to Dal Nim about that.
Director Hyun?
After he visited my grandmother,
she suddenly told me to let go of the recipe leak incident.
Can you guess...
why my grandmother suddenly changed her mind?
How would I know? I don't know anything.
I'm sorry for not keeping my promise.
But please stop connecting Dal Nim with every single issue.
I'm sorry for misunderstanding you,
but please be careful...
not to cause any misunderstandings in the first place.
Please do me that favor.
Do you know that it's my birthday today?
Yes, I do.
I invited Se Na and Sun Ho's family today...
to come over for a meal.
You're still my son,
so you shouldn't miss out on my birthday meal.
Please make some time...
to come join us even if the restaurant's busy.
I couldn't prepare a meal for you myself.
So the least I could do for you is to attend the gathering.
I'm sure Ms. Yoon was behind the recipe leak.
I promise I'll reveal the truth.
So please don't tell us to let go of the incident.
Please?
I completely understand your situation.
And I'd like to reveal the truth more than anybody.
But we sometimes have to sacrifice something small...
in order to save something big.
It wasn't an easy decision.
I made this decision so that...
our company won't have to go through a bigger problem.
So please understand.
I beg of you.
No one saw you, right?
No. I brought everything from your locker.
- Thanks. - What do you plan to do now?
I don't know.
I should look for a job first.
By the way,
you didn't steal the recipe, did you?
I didn't do it.
I wrote the anonymous letter and used the anesthetic cream...
because Ms. Hong told me to.
But I really have nothing to do with the recipe leak.
I got blamed for something I didn't do.
Ms. Hong framed me.
Then don't just talk about it behind her back.
You should do something about it.
Please testify what Ms. Hong asked you to do.
Then you'll be able to prove that you're innocent.
It's not that easy.
Why?
Does Ms. Hong know your weakness?
What are you talking about? I don't have a weakness.
Then please testify to the police.
I'll look for a way to get your job back,
and help you prove your innocence at the same time.
Forget it. I don't need your help.
I can take care of it on my own.
I'm not going to let her take advantage of me.
Wait. Hye Ri.
Dal Nim, it's going to be useless.
She was embarrassed to even face anyone today.
I'm sure she's not going to easily listen to you.
And she always used to look down on you.
So she's probably too proud to cooperate with you.
What are you doing here?
Chef Jung.
Did you meet the chairwoman?
What did she say?
She said it was a choice she made for the company.
She asked me to understand.
She asked me so earnestly,
so I couldn't say anything much.
I know how you must feel.
I'm sure you're very disappointed.
But I never knew the chairwoman would make that kind of decision.
I just saw Hye Ri earlier.
I'm just so frustrated and angry...
that there's nothing I can do.
The ones who get used end up getting punished.
And the ones who take advantage don't get punished at all.
They're actually more confident.
Ms. Yoon, Director Hyun, and Ms. Hong.
They don't get punished at all,
and they don't take responsibility for anything.
They just stay where they are.
In the end, Hye Ri had to get fired because she was powerless.
And I'm sure this incident will soon be forgotten.
Powerful people always use the weak and throw them away.
And the weak always end up getting stomped on.
The truth is being fabricated and hidden...
by the ones with power.
I don't want to let them fool me anymore.
If you're that determined, you should come with me.
Everyone's gathering for my mother's birthday today.
If you want to reveal the truth,
you should go head to head with the problem.
Why? Are you scared.
No, I'll go with you.
I need to go somewhere before that.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Happy birthday.
Ms. Yoon, I hope you stay healthy and happy for a long time.
Thank you for coming.
Ms. Cha and Mr. Choi couldn't come because of a previous engagement.
Se Kang can't come either because of a trial.
You must feel reassured to have Se Na by your side.
Jae Wook's not interested in business management.
So our company's also in need of...
someone very competent like Se Na.
If Se Na agrees, I'd like to bring her to Hyunsung...
and educate her to become the heir.
What do you think about my offer, Se Na?
I'm really grateful for the offer,
but I'm planning to stay in Choigo Foods forever.
Please refrain from taking her.
You can't take Se Na away from Sun Ho.
Se Na must be a lucky charm. Even Ms. Yoon wants her by her side.
I guess this is why they say...
new family members bring luck to the household.
Jae Wook seems to be running late.
I'll try calling him.
I'm sorry for being late.
Welcome. You can sit here.
I know you didn't invite her,
but she came with me to congratulate you on your birthday.
Come on in.
How dare you come here?
How could you think about bringing her here?
Isn't it a good thing to have many people congratulate you?
What?
Do you think I want her to congratulate me?
What's your true intentions behind following him here?
Tell me! Why did you come here?
I have no reason to avoid you anymore.
You have no reason to avoid me?
Should I remind you myself why you have no right to be here?
- You killed... - I did nothing wrong.
I didn't commit any sin.
I'm not the one who killed your daughter.
Shut it!
Get out of my house if you're going to talk such nonsense.
I know very well that you're not going to believe me.
I can't tell you anything for sure because I don't have any evidence.
But I know one thing for sure.
What you think you know might not be the truth.
Someone's lying to you.
Someone's trying to fool you by covering your eyes and ears.
And you need know who that is.
What?
I figured you should meet this person.
So I brought her with me.
Hello, Ms. Yoon.
I'm Kang Sun Ae, Jae Hee's friend.
"Sun Ae"?
Yes, hello. It's been so long.
But why are you here with Dal Nim?
Mother, she's that friend I told you about last time.
Get lost.
What are you trying to tell her?
There's something you must know.
Mother, you don't need to listen to her.
No. Go ahead and tell me.
What do I need to know?
(Sweet Enemy)
I'd like to think twice about our marriage.
He's trying to break off the marriage.
Were you born in May, 1983? Are you 35 years old?
There's something I didn't tell you, Ruby.
Sun Ho will tell you what that is.
