(Episode 38)
Did you really buy that outfit?
It's kind of like a sponsorship.
A sponsorship?
I was asked to look neat and classy as the director's secretary.
You could think of it as a threat.
It's getting harder to understand.
Did the director buy it for you?
No, Ms. Hong bought it for me.
- Ms. Hong? - My clothes must've bothered her.
She took me out in the afternoon and bought me clothes.
By the way, why did you ask the director to buy you a drink?
Are you guys that close?
Oh, well... Sort of.
If you didn't already agree to meet Ms. Myung,
can you buy me a drink?
Did something happen between you and So Yu?
No, of course not.
Then why did So Yu ask you to buy her a drink?
I don't know. Maybe she wanted to ask if I could lend her money again.
It's just really weird. That's why.
Maybe I should've asked.
I figured she might feel uneasy...
to talk about it in front of So Dam. That's why I just left.
I heard you agreed to meet with Ji Yoon.
Oh, right.
(Seo Jun)
Hello?
- Hey, where are you? - Didn't So Yu tell you?
- Tell me what? - That mean brat.
So she didn't tell you that I'll be shivering in front of my house...
until you came to pick me up?
How are you guys coming home together?
We met up front.
Hey, wash your hands and get ready to eat.
Stay in your seat, Mom. I'll do it.
- What did she say? - I don't think she's planning...
to sell her organ.
Then where did she get all those clothes?
- Ms. Hong bought them for her. - Ms. Hong?
My mom will hear you.
Why would Ms. Hong buy clothes for So Yu?
Gosh, you think she's decided to accept her as her daughter-in-law?
I'm not sure.
Why else would she buy clothes for her?
My goodness, this is great. We were worried for nothing.
Come outside for dinner.
Okay.
Mom, can you give me a moment?
- Why? - I have something to tell you.
I want you guys to sit down as well.
What is it?
I managed to get the money for Mom's treatment.
So Yu, did Ms. Hong...
Yes, she helped me out.
Ms. Hong?
She's Director Hong's mom.
Did she say she'll lend you the money for your mom's treatment?
I didn't know this,
but our company has a medical support system.
Really?
Yes, it only applies to the executives and their family.
But Ms. Hong told me that I could take advantage of that.
Then how are we going to pay back all that money?
They'll be taking small amounts out of my paycheck every month.
My goodness, how could anyone be kind enough to do that for us?
She must've decided to accept you as her daughter-in-law.
Don't you think I should call her and thank her?
- Let me see. - No, Mom.
No one's supposed to know about this,
so she didn't even tell Se Hyun.
So I need all of you to keep this a secret, okay?
Make sure you don't tell anyone outside of this family.
Okay.
You can hear the details from your mom.
What is it about?
- Okay. - She was probably going to...
get really angry at me because of what happened.
Se Hyun.
Yes, Ji Yoon. We kept talking to ourselves, didn't we?
I'm sorry.
Everyone in the universe knows that Seo Jun is ill-mannered.
But why are you starting to become ill-mannered as well?
Me? What did I do?
Why did you have to interfere with our date?
I'm sorry. I had something to talk about with Seo Jun.
I was just about to leave.
You can't just leave...
after ruining our date.
Then what do you want me to do?
You need to do your job as the wingman.
The wingman?
Why are you giving me this?
Ji Yoon told me to do my job as the wingman.
You can give it to her.
I got you a bouquet as the wingman, so it's your job to give it to her.
See you.
How am I supposed to give this to her?
Seo Jun.
Se Hyun told me to give it to you.
Why don't you just say you picked it up on your way here?
They're so pretty.
Did you hear that Seo Hyung...
said some mean stuff to So Yu regarding her outfit?
I heard about it roughly while I was driving.
Seo Jun must've been bothered by what Seo Hyung said.
Did he ask you to buy clothes for her?
Yes, I felt really awkward about it as well.
I thought about talking to you about it,
but I was worried that it might make So Yu feel embarrassed.
And I couldn't refuse Seo Jun's request...
and let So Yu constantly get bullied by Seo Hyung.
But you still should've thought about how So Yu might've felt.
I already thought that far, and that's why I didn't tell you.
You should drink the rest of your drink.
If you didn't already agree to meet Ms. Myung,
can you buy me a drink?
So Yu.
(Se Hyun)
- Hey, Se Hyun. - Can we meet right now?
Do I need to explain to you why I asked the director...
to buy me a drink?
- So Yu. - I was going through a hard time,
and I felt comfortable around him after fighting with him so much.
That's why I asked.
Is this something I need to feel sorry about?
My mom told me everything.
- What? - I understand that you're upset.
What did your mom say?
My mom must've felt upset about it as well.
But apparently, she went shopping with you because she thought...
Seo Jun would do something about it if she didn't.
I think we should proceed with our wedding as soon as possible...
Se Hyun, I'm really tired. Let's talk next time.
So Yu.
And let me remind you something just in case you're unaware of this.
This deal...
also ends your relationship with Se Hyun once and for all.
Keep that in mind as well.
Don't you think that's too short?
You're a member of a female idol group.
What? It's beef radish soup again.
Ms. Do, why can't the menu be more diverse?
I cook the menu based on the chairman's constitution.
His constitution?
Are you talking about the eight-constitution regimen?
Yes, that's right. The chairman falls under the Hepatonia category,
so beef radish soup is like a tonic to him.
- Be quiet and eat your food. - Yes, sir.
You must look so young because you have someone to take care of you.
Stop acting so sly and just eat your breakfast.
Seo Hyung.
If Seo Jun's her uncle, that makes me her aunt.
Can't I say that as her aunt?
The soup tastes really refreshing, Dad.
Grandpa, do you have a girlfriend?
He does have a girlfriend.
I knew it.
There's no way someone as handsome as you would be single.
You have a girlfriend as well, don't you?
Yes, of course. She'll soon become his fiancee.
And your grandpa will be breaking up with his girlfriend soon.
Dad, is that true?
Gosh, the soup is really nice and refreshing.
Ms. Do, give me some more soup.
I'm going to break them up soon.
No one can become Dad's wife without my permission.
- Right, Dad? - Ms. Do, hurry.
Eat your tonic and live a long life, Dad.
I might as well just buy a salad on my way to work.
I'm so hungry!
I'm in love
I used to care only about
myself
There.
Okay.
The scent of my man.
So Yu?
Hello.
Are... Are you wearing...
the sponsored outfit?
Those little jerks.
No, ma'am.
No?
Then is this a fake?
You're trying so hard to seem classy by wearing fake products.
It seems real though.
Did Seo Jun buy this for you?
I guess I'm right.
Seo Jun bought this for you, didn't he?
Why can't you answer me? Tell me. He got it for you, right?
Aren't you going to go up?
I'm late, so I need to get going.
The classy secretary will be off now.
So Yu, that little...
(The scent of my man)
How pretty.
"The scent of my man"?
You must've gotten it from your boyfriend.
Yes, I got it from the guy I've had a crush on...
for 17 years.
My goodness, you had a crush on him for 17 years?
Yes.
Gosh, that's incredible. You must've felt so happy.
I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
I wouldn't have been able to sleep either.
Can I ask what he does?
My goodness.
I thought you were So Yu's best friend. Didn't she tell you?
Pardon?
We're going to get engaged soon.
Who do mean by "we"?
Why didn't you tell me that Mr. Choi and Ms. Myung are getting engaged?
She's really happy right now because she got flowers from him yesterday.
Good morning.
We need to stop him from marrying Ji Yoon.
This deal will get canceled the moment Seo Jun...
gets engaged with Ji Yoon.
You need to try your best to keep your end of the deal.
(Ms. Hong)
Hello?
It seems like you should try harder, Secretary Eun.
Ji Yoon is a public figure.
So the fact that she took a selfie...
with a post saying "The scent of my man"...
only means they're slowly getting ready to get engaged.
It seems like the reporters already tried...
to reach out to Seo Jun.
So I was wondering if things are going well as planned.
(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)
Where should I put your tea, sir?
Over there.
Would you like to hear your schedule for today?
I'm not curious about that at all.
Pardon?
Can I ask you what I'm actually curious about? Take a seat.
Okay.
Why did you ask me to buy you a drink yesterday?
- Were you angry about the clothes? - Yes.
Are you still up for having a drink tonight?
Yes, sir.
I'll ask Se Hyun if he has time. Let's drink with him.
- Are you against the idea? - Yes, I am.
You are?
There's something I need to ask you personally.
Is it something that Se Hyun can't know?
Yes.
That's interesting.
Do you have time tonight?
Yes.
Then let's do what we couldn't do yesterday.
Why did you ask me to come to your office?
I thought about it, and I thought I was too rude to you...
when you're my dad's girlfriend.
What's the matter with you?
It's not like you guys are going to get married soon.
I figured there's no need for me to split you guys up...
when all you want is to comfort and lean on each other.
Just a moment.
Should I go inside?
(My honey: Should I go inside?)
Hurry up and come inside.
Excuse me.
Whether we're going to break up or continue dating...
is something Jin Bok and I will decide for ourselves.
You never even got him a glass of water before he went to bed,
so stop trying to control his life just because you're his daughter.
What? Why would I get him a glass of water before he goes to bed?
Honey, what brings you here?
Hey, Mi Ri.
Mi Ri, can I sit down?
Sure.
- Can you scoot over? - Why can't you sit over there?
Mi Ri.
- You really look so young. - Goodness.
I can't find a single pore on your face.
I'd believe you if you guys said you're friends.
My goodness, you're going to make your wife get angry.
Why would I get angry?
I'm glad to hear that the actress in my agency looks young.
Oh, right.
Mi Ri, do you want to go on a blind date?
A blind date?
Goodness, I'm too old to go on a blind date.
He's a composer, and he's six years older than me.
Even if he's six years older than you,
he's still 12 years younger than me.
My goodness.
He was your fan ever since he was young.
And he's been constantly asking me to introduce you to him.
Honey, are you talking about the Jamwon-dong Hyena?
Yes.
He's head over heels for you.
He watches all the dramas you're in.
Isn't that the guy who earned a lot of money via copyrights?
I heard he can live the rest of his life doing nothing.
Yes, that's right.
Should I set a date?
Sure, that'd be great.
My gosh, I forgot that I have an appointment.
Oh, okay. Bye, then.
- I'll call you later. - Okay, Mi Ri.
Bye.
What? You have a credit card.
Did you max out your card?
Okay.
Gosh.
You better do a good job.
Love you, honey.
My goodness. Hey, Tae Woong.
He should've kissed me on the lips.
Maybe I should've given one more.
Who was that?
Mi Ri.
- Call him. - What? Who are you talking about?
Call that guy, Jamwon-dong Cheetah or was it Panther?
Gosh, you must be really desperate.
I'm on my way to meet him right now.
Where would you like to meet him?
Call him and put him on the phone.
Well, I haven't exactly told him about you yet.
- But you said he's my fan. - He is.
Then call him.
Well, the thing is...
Did Seo Hyung tell you to do this?
Were you on your way to convince Jamwon-dong Whatever to see me?
- No, that's not it. - Did you think I'd go nuts...
if you introduced me to a guy who's younger than me?
Was she trying to pay someone to seduce me...
because she was worried that I might end up marrying her dad?
Mi Ri.
Do you want to split this?
I'll split this with you. Instead, can you just play along?
Follow me.
Let me go. That hurts.
You little... Just follow me.
- Come here. - Where are we going?
Please, Mi Ri. Not here.
What are you doing right now?
I came to tell you something.
Tae Woong, what in the world did you do to Mi Ri...
to make that gentle woman get so angry?
Sir.
Father, I did nothing wrong.
You did nothing wrong?
He and Seo Hyung tried to sell me off.
- Sell you off? To whom? - To a young man.
To a young man?
He has a really scary nickname as well.
What was it again?
Jamwon-dong Hyena.
"Hyena"?
You were going to sell Mi Ri to a hyena?
Not a real hyena, sir.
That's the nickname he uses for his job.
A nickname?
It's his stage name.
He's 6 years older than him which makes him 12 years younger than me.
He lied to me saying that guy is head over heels for me...
and tried to set me up on a blind date with him.
Hey, who are you to tell Mi Ri to go on a blind date?
Don't yell at him.
You need to punish the person behind this scheme.
- The person who's behind this? - I'm talking about your daughter.
She hired a young man to seduce me...
just so she could make the two of us break up.
I've never felt so humiliated in my entire life.
If anybody asks me what my sin is,
I'd tell them that all I ever did was meet you and love you.
Is Mi Ri telling the truth?
Yes.
What? It's true?
You little punk.
How dare you tell Mi Ri to go on a blind date?
You little jerk.
How despicable of you.
Who are you to tell her to go on a blind date?
My goodness.
What are you doing here?
Let's talk outside.
How dare you come here?
I came to talk to you.
You could've just called.
I felt like I should ask you in person.
What is it? Hurry up.
I heard you bought clothes for my sister...
and let her borrow money for my mom's treatment.
Why did you do all that for her?
That's what you wanted to ask?
Are you going to make her do what I did?
My goodness, you make it sound like I forced you to do what you did.
Why would you put it like that...
when you're the one who begged me to let you do it?
You're unbelievable.
Don't make my sister go through what I did.
What?
I'm not the one who made you...
go through what you did. It was Seo Hyung. Did you forget?
I won't stay silent if you mess with my sister.
I practically saved you from drowning to death,
and that's all you have to say to me?
Then I might as well go around and tell everyone...
that a trainee who was getting ready to become a female idol...
ended up giving birth for her CEO via surrogacy.
Do you want to see who will end up losing more?
Listen to me carefully.
You can debut as an idol...
and free your mom and sister from having to worry about money.
Or you can live your life...
with the entire country knowing that you were a surrogate.
I don't care what you choose.
Either way, I'll still lose nothing. Do you understand?
Take her outside, Ms. Yoon.
What a cheeky little brat. How dare she?
- Hello? - Ms. Hong.
I heard you work as an advisor these days.
You had to step on so many people to get to where you are,
so don't you think you deserve better?
- Who is this? - Why?
Are you going to chase after me and stab me in the back, you brat?
Ms. Ko, it's been way too long.
Considering what we've been through,
you should've recognized my voice right away.
I miss you, Ms. Ko.
You'll be meeting me soon.
Ms. Ko?
- Mr. Choi. - Yes, Ms. Hong.
Bring me everything regarding Ko Myung Shim's recent events.
Yes, ma'am.
(Famous restaurants)
Wait. Why am I searching for a nice place? We're not going on a date.
I thought she wanted me to buy her a drink. Why is she so quiet?
We can eat dinner and drink here.
I made a reservation under my name,
so you can go there first. I'll follow you after you're gone.
Is this a 007 operation or what?
She's making me nervous.
I'm going to leave now.
Aren't you going home?
Yes, I should.
Seo Jun.
Hey, Se Hyun.
Where are you going? I thought you parked your car in the basement.
Yes, I know. But I have an appointment.
- Are you going for a drink? - Yes. I'll see you.
(Se Hyun)
Hey, Se Hyun.
What are you doing?
Why? What's up?
Let's go eat something delicious.
No, I can't. Executive Director Choi is still working right now.
What?
(So Yu)
Yes, I know. But I have an appointment.
No, I can't. Executive Director Choi is still working right now.
(Gangnam Scandal)
You said you found me interesting.
I'm starting to get sick of you.
You can have fun with me and dump me whenever you want.
So please don't get engaged.
Stop weighing your options between Se Hyun and me.
- Stop. Don't come here anymore. - So Yu.
I got myself in trouble, Se Hyun.
Did you tell him about our deal?
What in the world did you tell him?
I'm going to kill you, you little brat!
You seem a lot more humane now.
