(Episode 29)
We played you for fun.
Why...
Why did you do this to me?
That's the wrong question.
We don't have a special reason when we pick out our toy.
You should ask why we chose...
the scholarship student, Eun Tae Hee.
It's because as it so happens, you're Ki Young's first love.
- What? - Si Hyun started the bet first...
to make Soo Ji feel better.
To him, what kind of girl you were or who you were...
wasn't of any importance.
Si Hyun...
had to remind himself...
of your name a few times to memorize it.
- What was her name again? - Eun Tae Hee.
Her name is written right here. Try to remember.
We found out places you frequently visited...
and withdrew your application for the dorm you were to move into.
We thought about putting an end to the bet at that time,
but Si Hyun wouldn't stop.
He lied and went to help you move in.
He even let you move in across his studio.
He did everything he could do to stop you from coming on the trip.
He chased after you when you left early the next morning.
I don't know what happened between the two of you.
But at some point,
he started seeing you in secret,
liking you, and missing you.
And he's protecting you too.
Are you doing this to me...
because Si Hyun started to like me?
I can't care less about whether he really likes you or not.
It doesn't even matter to me.
Do I have a reason to want to split you two up?
I don't have one.
Now, think about this question.
Instead of asking why Si Hyun went after you,
ask this question.
"Why is Se Joo telling me all this?"
Don't you want to know that now?
Enough.
I don't want to hear anything else you people have to say.
Soo Ji,
Si Hyun, and me.
It's because things ended between the three of us.
Si Hyun has left us because of you.
I'm sorry that you became our toy.
But...
you're the only way I can punish him.
There's nothing else I can do to him.
Each and every one of you are...
nothing but human garbage.
We know.
We're impossible, human garbage who don't care at all...
when we hurt others.
So what?
You enjoy your lavish lives,
then complain that your lives are the hardest on earth.
Even when people get hurt, they don't live like you.
Did you have a blast when you deceived...
and made fun of me, thinking it's some kind of a great revenge?
Did this make you feel like you're above Ki Young?
This is disappointing. I thought you'd be touched.
You said Si Hyun loved you...
and that you loved him too.
That's why our little nest got torn apart.
Shouldn't you be touched even after knowing everything...
to make sure you stay as the Great Tae Hee?
Someone so great that you can humiliate us...
like that.
What will you do now?
Since you accepted everything else, will you forgive him for this too?
Can you really like him...
even after knowing the truth?
Are you all right?
(Kwon Si Hyun)
Can you get up?
Hello?
Oh, isn't this Tae Hee's phone?
She doesn't seem so well.
Where is she?
Tae Hee.
Are you okay?
Why are you here?
You know...
why I'm here.
- Well... - I saw it.
Your little nest.
And...
I also saw how you played around with me.
I saw everything.
- Tae Hee. - Was this why...
you were dying to talk to me?
I can explain everything.
Explain? What will you start with?
How you did my background check?
Or that you asked Kyung Joo about me?
Or about your plan to show up on the day my dorm got cancelled,
pretending to help me out?
And did you come up with the plan to bring me out on that trip...
and to pick me up at the station?
How did you know who my mom was?
Since when and how much did you find out about me...
before you did this to me?
You three...
You three must have had...
a lot of fun.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Did you forget to come up with a plan...
in case you get caught?
I remember your asking if I won't regret my decision in the beginning.
That you're worried you might make a mistake.
You're really something.
You left room...
to run away since the beginning.
No.
Why did it have to be me?
What did I ever do to you?
Even after hearing...
that you and Soo Ji like each other,
I still trusted the way you showed your heart to me.
Even when you humiliated me...
in front of your friends because of your pride,
I held back like an idiot.
Because I thought we liked each other.
I thought we could undo those little misunderstandings.
I took you in, held back, and tried to understand you.
Even if it was difficult,
I did it because I loved you.
It was so natural to me.
Must I be punished like this...
just because I trusted you?
It's...
I'm sorry.
I know that I can't be forgiven no matter what I say.
But I was serious too.
Serious?
If you were even a bit serious about me,
you should've ended everything when I asked you to break up.
No matter how much fun it was to see...
the idiot I was for taking you back...
No matter how amusing it was to see the way I embraced you,
you should have stopped right there and then.
If you're someone who can do this to someone you like...
If that's the Si Hyun I knew,
then I've never liked you.
I've never called out your name,
and I've never even known you.
Tae Hee.
I came to like you so much.
That's why this happened.
I know I wasn't supposed to do that,
but I tried to...
extend this day by day, then ended up like this.
At one point, I came to like you so much...
that I forgot about how guilty I felt.
I was scared to see time passing by,
but I wanted to...
remain as the guy who liked you for just one more day.
Sure.
I'm sure it wasn't in your plan...
to actually come to like me.
What you three planned was...
to see me suffer...
after I get abandoned.
- Tae Hee, please. - What are you trying to get back?
I never knew you.
No.
I said I was not sure who you really were...
and that I'd like to find out.
This is the last time I regret having said that.
Don't you get it?
The idiot that you three wanted to humiliate...
will end up loathing you for a long time.
I want you to be in as much pain as my hatred.
I want you to suffer.
I hope you will never be all right.
If not,
I will end up despising myself for knowing you...
and hating myself for accepting you every time.
I don't want to ever see you again.
(Hye Jeong)
(Power Off)
Did you have to do this?
I said...
I'd tell her everything and beg.
Did you have to take that one opportunity from me?
(Recent calls)
(Hye Jeong)
Go home.
Your mother will scold you a lot.
No.
If I go back home now, nothing will ever change.
Get up. You'll catch a cold.
Tae Hee.
- Tae Hee. - Mom.
Gosh. Are you okay? Come inside.
Kwon Seok Woo, 46 years old, male.
He came in as an outpatient, requesting we check his tumour.
The tumour showed up in both the CT and MRI.
We'll cut it out in a guided operation.
The tumour’s putting pressure on the optic nerves,
so we'll observe...
The operation will take all day.
Okay.
Let's not worry too much.
Our best doctors and I will do our best to...
My dad's a tough guy. He'll pull through.
Si Hyun.
I know I wronged you...
and that I must beg for years.
It'll be hard, I know,
but can't you let me focus on your dad for now?
Please.
Sure.
Please take good care of him for me.
Kwon Seok Woo's being prepped for surgery.
He must've named you as his guardian.
Tae Hee.
Try to sit up.
Are you okay?
Drink some water, then go back to sleep.
Take some medicine.
Dad's in Seoul.
- I heard. - When he leaves,
I'll go with him.
What about school?
The more I say, the worse you'll feel.
Shall I still explain?
Only bad things happened to me since I came back.
We fought every day.
I was in an accident.
I suffered and recovered.
And then,
I thought things were only going to get better.
I thought if I moved to Seoul and lived alone,
everything was going to be fine.
I got into the college I wanted to attend.
I thought my life was going to get better.
But now, I just want to get away from all this.
It's not like you to oversleep.
Did you have breakfast?
You're concerned about me. That feels great.
Are you taking...
those pills again?
It's just because I can't seem to fall asleep.
Where were you this early?
Se Joo.
What is it?
Did you get hit?
I met Si Hyun.
I...
told everything to Tae Hee.
Tell her what?
Everything.
I ended it.
Does Si Hyun know?
Probably.
Se Joo.
I'll tell him that I told you to do this.
What do you mean?
- Why would you say that? - Just listen to me.
Si Hyun and I can't go back to how it used to be anyway.
If Mr. Kwon and my mom get married,
we'd become family even if he hates me.
But I can't stand to watch...
your friendship fall apart.
Okay?
It's Hye Jeong.
Yes, Hye Jeong.
My gosh, what a nice place.
- We can play games here too. - I know.
Make yourselves at home. No one will come here.
Go back home as soon as possible if you can.
Don't you think your mother will find you no matter what?
Anyway, thank you, Se Joo.
Thanks to you, she will be safe even if it's for a day.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
Don't be.
Thank Soo Ji. I'm leaving now.
Thank you, Se Joo. We'll clean up the place.
We'll do that.
- Should we clean up? - Yes, let's do that.
Where are you, Hye Jeong?
- You have a guest, ma'am. - Goodness.
Ms. Jo.
You won't be able to attend the meeting with my family, right?
It's because of Hye Jeong.
What should we do?
I'm in a pickle too.
I don't know what to tell them.
I can't say Hye Jeong ran away from home.
However,
families are supposed to help each other out...
even though they may fight from time to time.
We'll be family soon.
Should I help you out?
Could you do that for me?
All right...
Hello, Secretary Kim.
Today's family meeting is canceled.
Tell my father that...
Ms. Jo is very sick.
Tell him that I'm personally taking her to the hospital.
It's done.
It won't take long to locate Hye Jeong.
Korea is a small country.
(Assemblyman Kim Se Cheol)
Hello, Assemblyman Kim.
I heard that the clinical trials are being evaluated now.
Thank you.
When does your VIP center close?
It closes at 7pm.
My gosh, the center closes quite early.
Well, you know the promise you made the other day.
Some of my VIPs will be there by 8pm.
Please take good care of them.
Okay, I understand.
Hi.
Mr. Kwon is in surgery now. It's going well.
Okay.
Si Hyun is in his ward now.
Okay.
What's wrong with you?
Mr. Kwon is still in surgery.
My mom said that it will take the entire day.
Why did you do that? You should've kept it on.
About the other day in the parking lot...
- I'm sorry. - Why would you be sorry?
At least, I deserved that.
You should've just run me over.
If you did, she wouldn't have...
known anything, and I would've thanked you.
Si Hyun.
I asked Se Joo...
to tell everything to Tae Hee.
You know that Se Joo will do anything I ask.
I asked him to tell her that because I wanted to hurt her.
So don't resent Se Joo.
Soo Ji.
Think about everything we have done all these years.
We are such monsters, aren't we?
No.
I'm in no position to judge you two.
I didn't do anything right either.
How did we get here?
I'm sorry.
But...
let's not ever see each other again.
Even if we meet by coincidence,
let's pretend we don't know each other.
