(Episode 33)
Why did you ask me?
That day when that beansprouts lady barged into your house...
You asked me to drive you home.
Why did you ask me instead of Se Hyun?
Can you please drive me home?
Let's go.
She's at your sister's place.
My mom went there.
Can you go over to your sister's house?
I need to go to the bathroom. Say goodbye to him for me.
Go home safely.
You didn't answer my question.
There's not much for me to say.
Se Hyun was just five minutes away.
So why... Why did you ask me?
- I'm sorry if I offended... - Am I so easy to approach?
We're always quarreling with each other.
So I must've forgotten about my place and just asked you.
Is that all?
What other...
special reason would there be?
I'm relieved.
Let's keep it that way.
Pardon?
Let's continue to make sure there aren't any special reasons.
Why are you back already?
What? I thought you were drunk.
I left you guys alone so things could get romantic.
My gosh, were you acting like you were drunk?
No, I wasn't acting. But I suddenly became sober...
when I heard Executive Director Choi say,
"Why did you ask me instead of Se Hyun?"
- So? - I figured it'll blow up soon.
- What will blow up? - Your love scandal.
You really need to stop reading those web novels.
Those romance novels are making you think I could end up with anyone.
Hey, even Secretary Kim ended up with her boss.
So why can't Secretary Eun?
My mom will wake up.
Stop talking nonsense and go inside.
Hey, it's not nonsense.
Everything that's happening with you...
is what happens in romance novels. It's getting lame.
Gosh, will you just go inside?
- Take it off. - Why are you trying to undress me?
The male lead is outside.
Have you ever seen a male lead who looks like that?
Hey, I'd agree if you blamed his character.
But isn't he pretty good-looking?
Whatever.
You better remove your makeup today before you go to sleep.
I'm not going to wash your face for you this time.
Rule number one of romantic comedies.
You fight because of a misunderstanding.
That's the correct answer. You guys fought.
Do people date just because they fight?
Rule number two. The rich guy becomes intrigued...
with the poor girl because he's never had anyone...
treat him the way she does.
- That's the correct... - He's not intrigued with me.
Then why did he hire you as his secretary?
I told you. He's not the one who hired me.
I like how you're dealing with this.
- What? - Let's be honest.
You agree that Choi Seo Jun is like a star in the sky, right?
Yes, of course. He's the biggest star you can see.
So let's give up on him and make sure...
you focus on Director Hong.
Focus, my foot.
I'm not going to date anyone until the doctor says...
my mom is fully recovered.
Shim Cheong didn't have a problem dating anyone...
after she was saved from the Indangsoo Sea.
But she doesn't even care that Prince Charming is in front of her.
If she's going to be like that, she should just give me her looks.
Let's continue to make sure there aren't any special reasons.
I'm the one who should be saying that.
- Hey, Ye Ji. - Good morning, Grandpa.
Good morning.
Thank you.
Here you go.
- Oh, okay. - What's that?
I read on the internet...
that your feet get cold once you become old.
Is this for me?
Yes, you gave me pocket money, so I wanted to get you something.
You guys need to learn from her.
None of you ever even got me a handkerchief.
She's the teacher here.
Thank you for this.
I thought about getting you pajama pants,
but I figured that'd be a bit too much.
Yes, this is the perfect gift.
What's so perfect?
Hey, look at this.
- They're bed socks. - Yes.
She got them for me.
Did you get one for your uncle as well?
Gosh, that's hot.
He's calling himself her uncle because he is.
Uncles and nieces are supposed to be really intimate.
The is she supposed to call him "Mister"...
when he is her mom's younger brother?
You're being too fussy.
Seo Jun is Eun Byeol's uncle.
But it's only been a couple of days since he met her.
She doesn't deserve to think of Seo Jun as her uncle.
She's Seo Kyung's daughter, so I am her uncle.
Seo Jun.
Does she need to refer to him as her uncle?
Let's stop trying to choose what she should call him.
She'll be leaving in a few days anyway.
Seo Hyung, can you just drop it?
Must you say that in front of her?
I want you guys to come home early today.
- Why, Dad? - Are you making an announcement?
Just do as I say and come home early.
And make sure we have enough champagne.
Okay.
Seo Jun, don't forget to come home for dinner tonight, okay?
Yes, sir.
Come inside, Ye Ji.
How did you think of getting socks for him?
I heard affection is the best gift for a rich person.
Did your mom tell you that?
I saw it in a TV show in the States.
I hope you continue to grow up like this.
You have just the right brain to carry on the family business.
I don't care about that.
Let me continue to live here.
What about school?
I heard there are foreign schools in Korea.
Something happened between you and your mom, right?
I just want to live with my dad.
Why do you keep asking questions?
I already feel uncomfortable about living here.
I can't afford to raise you at the same time.
I never asked you to raise me.
I'm all grown up.
What's your ulterior motive?
Ulterior motive? I don't know what that means.
You can talk to me in English if you need anything.
I should put some makeup on, right?
We still have time, so you can take your time.
The medicine must be working.
I eat well,
and I don't wake up often during my sleep.
I hope they'll tell me...
that I no longer need to come for cancer treatment after today.
I heard it's cold today. You should dress in layers.
Don't forget to wear long johns.
Eun Byeol has a fever, and her nose is runny.
We're at the hospital. Be careful not to get a cold, everyone.
(Mo Tae Woong)
She's not getting fooled.
I thought she'd call...
if I posted a photo saying Eun Byeol's sick.
Is she on her way?
She might be going straight to the hospital...
since she might get caught if she comes here.
Honey, I thought you went to work.
I came back to get my phone. Are you going somewhere?
I need to take Eun Byeol to the hospital.
What about the nanny?
I'm Eun Byeol's dad. I should be the one to go.
Your love for your daughter has so many ups and downs.
What do you mean?
When I asked you to take her to the hospital a few days ago,
you kept refusing to go.
But I still ended up going.
I should've bought more sweat suits.
There's nothing for me to wear.
Is this not a sweat suit?
I'm a celebrity.
Who knows when I'll get my photo taken?
I can't just wear anything.
You should go to the beauty salon and get some makeup done.
- Should I do that? - Yes.
My goodness, seriously. Eun Byeol has a cold.
So don't roam around in the cold.
Come straight home after she gets treated at the hospital.
- Okay. - See you.
So Dam.
No.
Eun Byeol.
- Eun Byeol went to the hospital. - When?
The nanny took her a while ago.
Gosh, why would she take Eun Byeol to the hospital?
My gosh.
She'll be back soon.
Gosh, darn it! That nanny!
My gosh!
Goodness.
Did you check Executive Director Choi's schedule?
Yes, he'll be departing at 11am.
We can depart after you're done with the meeting.
Okay, let's do that.
Have you guys gone mad?
You should've made So Yu and Seo Jun go by themselves.
Why did you let Se Hyun join them?
Are you sure you work for me?
Director Hong insisted on going.
So you couldn't say no to him...
because you're his subordinate?
Your attitude is very touching.
The Design Team needs to make their fourth order today.
Director Hong already confirmed it.
But that doesn't mean it's over.
Keep going, Mr. Choi.
If we change the number of orders,
the factory in Vietnam will be put in chaos.
Then Director Hong will end up becoming busy.
On top of that, the head of the Design Team took the day off today.
Will you be able to take care of it before Director Hong's meeting ends?
I just changed the number of orders.
What about Mr. Kang?
Is he sure Seo Jun and So Yu won't return by tonight?
He has already come up with Plan B, so don't worry.
Is there anything I need to prepare?
I've never been on a business trip.
I'll be preparing everything regarding work.
But shouldn't I still know what kind of work he'll be doing?
I'm his work secretary, so you can take your mind off of it.
You just need to pack water bottles so that he doesn't get thirsty...
and gum so that he doesn't get bored.
Okay.
We just came back from the hospital.
Mom's treatment is apparently going really well.
What's wrong? The doctor said you're doing well.
How can I get that expensive treatment once every two weeks?
I shouldn't have started it.
It's better than hearing that it's not working.
They're a bunch of thieves.
A doctor should be focused on treating their patients.
But they're always telling me to get one more treatment.
That shot is so expensive. I can't get it once every two weeks.
Why are you causing a fuss when you're actually getting better?
Because you guys have to work way too hard for me.
Answer your phone.
How's Eun Byeol?
You should've asked sooner.
Eun Byeol almost died.
Why? Why is she sick?
Her fever went up to 40°C.
She had diarrhea and wouldn't stop crying.
I really thought she was going to die.
What were you doing until she became so sick?
Hey.
You guys are her mom and dad. Why don't you take care of her?
Hey, I was kidding. Don't cry.
How could you joke about something like that?
If you call me one more time, I'm going to tell Ms. Choi.
Look at him snoring. This must be really nice.
Honey, wake up. Lunchtime is over now.
Gosh, that was such a nice nap.
Mi Ri.
You should've come here when we were busy with customers.
Why did you have to come during lunchtime?
You should do your job as the face of our business.
Why did you make a fool out of me?
- Me? - I told you not to tell anyone...
that Seo Hyung's husband cheated on her.
- I didn't tell anyone. - You didn't tell anyone?
Honey.
Did I or did I not go straight home and sleep...
after working really hard all day?
You... You did.
Did you hear that?
Seo Hyung is my brother's sister-in-law.
I'm closer to her than you.
I don't care if you're closer.
Didn't you go to the nanny's mom and tell her about the affair?
Do you think I'm the FBI or something?
How would I know where the nanny's mom lives?
It's time for you to take off that mask of yours.
Mask? Who do you think you are, you punk?
I heard you're the original adulteress who broke apart...
So Yu and So Dam's family.
Original adulteress?
My goodness.
- Honey, what's he saying? - Hey.
Watch what you say.
I can't believe you just left your nice daughters.
And you have so much money.
Do you know how many part-time jobs So Yu works?
I thought she was an orphan at first.
Me too. You know that animation? What was the name again?
I thought she was an orphan just like Candy.
Candy wasn't an orphan.
Anyway, I can't believe you make your daughters go through so much...
when you're busy golfing and traveling on a cruise.
Did you join a volunteer work community?
Why are you acting so nice?
She's not acting nice. She's being nosy.
Why are you talking about my personal...
If she didn't throw a fit at So Yu's house,
then her mom wouldn't have gone to Seo Hyung's house.
Then Seo Hyung wouldn't have come to me...
and threatened me that she'll sue me for slander.
So the person responsible for all this is you.
That woman went to Seo Hyung's house?
How could she be so brazen enough to go there?
How were you brazen enough to go to So Yu's house?
- Mi Ri! - What?
My gosh.
Secretary Eun, you can get off work after we're done with field work.
What do you mean?
You can use the business trip as a chance to see the sea...
and go on a date with Se Hyun.
That's okay, sir.
I don't think Se Hyun would think the same way.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
I'm admitting what I need to admit...
so that I can stop.
- We have a situation, sir. - What's the matter?
We placed the wrong order, so they stopped the factory in Vietnam.
Where's the head of the Design Team?
She took the day off today, and I can't reach her yet.
Call Executive Director Choi and tell him to go without me.
Okay, sir.
This is Hong Se Hyun.
Please ask the people in charge of placing orders in Vietnam...
to come to my office.
Director Hong can't come with us because something urgent came up.
Are you serious?
I didn't prepare anything because I trusted that he'll come.
We'll take good care of you, sir.
(Namyangju)
- Does it taste good? - Yes.
I'm your grandmother's sister, so I'm practically your grandmother.
That's nonsense.
Are you the one who takes her to her golf lessons?
Her aunt is a complete thief.
She took all the money I gave her but doesn't care for her at all.
She's so annoying.
Look at her reacting just because you badmouthed her aunt.
What a daring girl.
Aunt, you should read her fortune one day.
She's really sly.
It's not right to read children's fortunes.
Then why did you read mine?
Well, I had no choice...
because your future is directly related to mine.
Not a single thing you told me about my future is true.
Just wait.
As long as you don't throw away your own luck,
you'll always have money for the rest of your life.
You always say that.
But at this rate, I'll end up becoming mentally ill.
Is Jin Bok...
still cold toward you?
He must get upset every time he sees me.
That's because he feels guilty.
(CEO, Bang Yoon Tae)
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Why didn't you bring the employee in charge?
It was my mistake.
Are you saying you're going to be a broad-minded leader?
Should I be blaming myself for the incident as well?
Do you want me to get on my knees?
The factory in Vietnam started operating again.
It was only put to a halt for three hours.
Good job.
You're really good with crisis management.
Do you want me to give you a reward?
Should I reward you as the employee of this month...
for having placed an order like a complete idiot?
I admit that your mother has great influence over our company.
But that doesn't give you the right to be so arrogant and impudent.
- Sir. - Se Hyun, listen to me.
If you act out because the chairman is behind you, you'll be in trouble.
You may leave.
My goal for this year is to kick him and his mother out of LX Group.
I'll do everything I can, day and night, to make that happen, sir.
What happened?
Was Yoon Tae harsh with you?
No, he said what he needed to say, and I listened.
- I need to go somewhere. - Where?
I was supposed to go on a business trip to the suburbs.
You can't go now. It's too late.
It's Seo Jun's first business trip, so I should go even if it's late.
Mr. Kang worked for me for three years.
He's good with field work.
But Seo Jun...
I get really upset whenever I see you acting...
like you're his secretary.
- Se Hyun. - Yes?
You shouldn't live like me.
That's my life-long wish.
Mom.
Yes, Chairman Choi.
Dinner?
I'll cancel any appointments I have if you need me there.
But may I ask what it's about?
Don't tell Seo Jun this.
I'm going to announce his engagement with Ji Yoon today.
You're going to announce his engagement?
Why are you so slow all of a sudden?
I want to gather the entire family before the engagement ceremony...
to announce that they'll be getting engaged.
So organize a party with things that Ji Yoon might like.
I'm talking about the stuff that young people like.
Okay, sir.
Are Seo Jun and Ji Yoon getting engaged?
Yes.
But Seo Jun didn't tell me anything.
I think he's planning for it to be a surprise.
He wants me to organize a party.
- When? - Tonight.
- Tonight? - Goodness.
I should get going.
(Special Store)
I've always wanted to eat this after I saw it on TV.
Sausage, rice cake, sausage, rice cake.
There are so many things you haven't tried before.
You even went crazy about stone-plate cooked eggs last time.
I wonder if there are a lot of people at the cafe.
Why isn't Mr. Kang coming?
Yes, Ms. Hong. The thing is...
What's with all this unnecessary talk?
Push his car down a cliff if you have to!
Just make sure he doesn't make it back to Seoul today!
You all better be ready to face consequences...
if Seo Jun comes back to Seoul before 12am.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Yes?
This isn't the one that's listed on the display manual.
That one got sold out, so we displayed what we had at the moment.
But you still need to stick to the seasonal concept.
It's because my employee is on her day off today.
It must be hard for you to change the mannequin's outfit...
because you hurt your arm.
Would it be okay if we helped?
Let's choose this one.
What do you think?
- I like this one. - This one's much better.
Ta-da.
Goodness.
I would've cooked everything myself if I could.
No, this is perfect.
If it's better than this, it'll outshine the engagement.
Where's Seo Jun? Did you not come home with him?
He had to go on a business trip today.
Your son's working hard at the office,
and you're here working for the family.
You guys really put in so much effort.
Dad, Ji Yoon's here.
What? She's here already?
- Goodness. - Father, I'm here.
Hello, welcome.
- Where's Seo Jun? - He's on his way home.
He happened to have a business trip to the suburbs today.
- Let's go sit down. - Okay.
You look like a doll, Ji Yoon.
Thank you.
Did you come here to congratulate us?
Of course. I don't want to miss out on this important occasion.
Would you like something to drink?
I'll have some sparkling water. I feel really nervous.
I'll prepare tea for everyone else.
- Okay. - Okay.
You'll soon become a member of our family soon.
Is that the best you can say to her?
She already is a member of our family.
Does Seo Jun know about this?
No, I didn't tell him on purpose because I wanted to surprise him.
That's weird. I'm sure it was in this area.
Is it the golf course where we'll be holding our event next month?
Yes, sir.
We can check the golf course next time. Let's go eat something.
Okay, sir.
He runs really well for someone who has a stomachache.
Do you think it'll be okay for him to go by himself?
It'll be even more embarrassing if anyone follows him.
(Se Hyun)
(Seo Kyung)
My gosh, I'm doomed.
Hey, Seo Kyung.
Where are you?
Dad's been waiting for a really long time.
When do you think you'll arrive?
What? You don't know?
Doesn't the navigation tell you how much time you have left?
Why did you have to send him on a business trip on a day like today?
I tried not to be late.
Things just got complicated.
I can't get there before dinner.
So you guys can eat first.
Seo Jun, you have to come here no matter what.
You need to be here.
Tell her to hang up.
The chairman will throw a fit if he finds out he's with So Yu.
Seo Jun, are you with So Yu right now?
What?
Seo Jun's with that gold-digger right now?
Ms. Hong.
(Gangnam Scandal)
Why are you taking out all the summer clothes?
Are you worried that you'll die before summer?
I've made up my mind.
We'll have to go through it anyway, so let's just stay at ease for now.
- The chairman wishes you to come. - Me too?
So Yu?
What do you think you're doing? Get up.
What? So Yu went there?
Will you stop fighting it and cross the line for me?
Can you spare me 30 minutes of your lunch break?
