I love you.
Stop telling me to turn away!
I'm sorry if I caught you by surprise.
But I have to be honest if I am to protect you.
Sowon, I'm...
Gyunwoo, take a look at CE Group restaurant homepage.
-Why? -Just go in there.
Here it is.
Is there somewhere people upload photos and write comments?
You mean customer message board?
What in the?
What's this? Uh?
Why? What is it?
Give me. Let me see too.
My gosh. What is this?
I'll just go and...!
Mom, Mom!
That little fox, Sowon. I knew that coy fox would do this someday.
Are you sick?
You look pale.
I'll clean up so you should go home.
No, I'll finish up and go with you.
-You ungrateful brat. -Mother.
Tell me. Did you conspire with Mr. Kang secretly to force the divorce?
Mother. What are you talking about?
Didn't you know it already and help her too?
I don't understand what you mean.
I saw all their dating photos. Didn't you see them too?
-What's going on? -Ha. It seems you already knew.
Someone set that up with malicious intention.
It's not what you think so don't get the wrong idea.
It's not a wrong idea! I should've known when I found that beach photo last time.
How could you stab my back twice?
Mother, it's not what you think. Someone put that up to corner us!
No fire, no smoke. I never imagined you'd have an affair and ask for a divorce!
I wanted to let you go with a mother's heart.
How could you have an affair with him right under my roof? How could you?
Gee, you should do the delivery instead! So fast.
Let go, dork. I'm not in the mood for a joke.
Because you're so upset over nothing.
It's not what you think so calm down. Let's go.
-Anyways, there'll be no divorce! -Fine.
I'll never let you get divorced for my poor son's sake! Never!
That woman will lose her voice yelling like that. Gosh.
What the heck is going on?
What the hell is this?
My mom just went to Sowon's restaurant and caused a commotion!
Was this all you amount to? How could you screw things like this?
I'm sorry. Is Sowon okay?
Is Sowon okay?
Why? You're worried my mom would've grabbed her hair?
How could you let it happen when you care for her so much?
People thought of her as some gold digger.
How could she work let alone walk around this neighborhood!
I'll straighten it up.
You should've kept feelings to yourself. How will you handle this mess now?
Do you remember?
I asked you if you ever cared about only yourself?
When I asked if you ever lived carefree about other's judgment of you...
...you said you never want to live in shame.
That's why I couldn't help but hide my feelings.
But I can't do that anymore. I can't protect you while hiding my feelings.
Mr. Kang.
You know. I have a husband.
I told you this before.
Your past five years... I don't consider it as being married.
Mr. Kang.
If you give me courage, I could care less about what others think.
Please don't push me away. Consider me as a man just once.
It was so unexpected.
I can't even say sorry to you.
Hyunwoo, what do I do? What should I do?
Mother, are you busy today?
Why would an old woman staying at home be busy? Why do you ask?
We have a meeting on the fall recipe contest for the U.S.A. launch.
How about you attend that meeting?
It's my last project so I might as well.
We'll have three meetings straight. I think you should come to just the last meeting.
It'll be nice if she could encourage us from the first meeting.
Yes. Isn't it?
I'm feeling well today. See you both later.
Like cockroaches. Keeps coming up.
Sowon, we need to talk.
Ms. Chair will come to the company today. I tried to stop her but I couldn't.
I told you many times. When Ms. Chair finds out, it'll be over for both of you.
Can't you see how serious this is?
The CEO seat at CE isn't for any ordinary man.
Along with honor and authority, it requires heavy responsibilities.
You're dragging down a man who's entitled to sit on that seat. Get it?
Are you saying the problem will be solved if I leave?
If I leave, can you make him the man you're describing?
First, I need to make sure Ms. Chair doesn't find out about this.
It'll be over when she finds it out.
-What should I do then? -Why ask me?
Use your energy or brain to stop this crisis. If you appreciate him one bit.
Grandmother will come to the company today.
If Grandmother comes here, it'll be a matter of time before she finds out.
The worst is about to happen.
When she comes, please bring her to my office first.
-What will you tell her? -I'll tell her honestly.
That Sowon did nothing wrong and that I loved her by myself.
You'll take the blame and ask her to spare Sowon?
-I'm sure Ms. Chair will let me do that. -Did you confess your love to her yet?
I did... But she hasn't responded yet.
You'll give up the CEO seat over a woman who doesn't even love you?
As long as my departure can keep her safe. I have no regrets.
Welcome.
I was worried about this meeting. I want to lessen Ms. Chair's shock.
What do you mean?
If I resign, can you protect Sowon?
Why would you leave the company?
The noise will die down if Sowon leaves the company.
What I want is protection of Sowon's job.
Is she that important to you?
Please answer me. Can you do that?
Not sure. Mother will find out soon so I don't want to deceive her.
I see. I thought I was an only target. But I guess Sowon was a target too.
It means my resignation won't help protect Sowon's future.
He sounds like he's suspecting me. But he'll get fired soon. What a pity.
Whatever is love? Sowon will totally ruin VP Kang's future.
What do you mean?
Worried that the incident might hurt Sowon,
VP Kang will tell Grandma everything and take the blame.
What will happen to him then?
-He'll get kicked out. -What?
Does Sowon know about this?
Dawon.
Do you know Mr. Kang is thinking about resigning?
What do you mean?
What is it?
What are you doing?
If you resign and leave, did you think I'd thank you and stay at this company?
-I'll make sure you do that. -Mr. Kang.
Mr. Kang.
I don't want to see you being ridiculed and mocked anymore.
You just worked hard but I was the one who loved you.
It's not you who should be mocked but it should be me.
I'll just be telling the truth so don't feel burdened.
I'm sorry. I was too selfish with my emotions.
Ms. Chair shouldn't find out. It'll be over if she finds out.
Ms. Chair!
What are you doing here? What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
I have to tell you something.
What is it?
I was going to see you when I go to the company.
Did something bad happen at work?
Not that.
You remind me of myself when I was young.
The noodles I handmade at the open market made the CE Group today.
I'm sure your labors in that small restaurant will make you successful.
I know how you suffered physically and emotionally because of your husband.
My wish to make you a role model to young people these days...
...and show you off to the world.
Keep working hard.
I'm sorry. I don't think I'm qualified.
What are you saying?
I don't think I can continue to work. I'm really sorry.
Soon, no one will be able to upload comments with fake names anymore.
That will prevent unfortunate incident like this again.
Good job. You may leave.
Director Shin's hands are tied now.
If we can safely pass today, we can bury this.
-Yes, Grandmother. -Is something going on at work?
Sowon came to me and told me that she's going to quit.
Quit?
Find out why and tell your mom that I'll only attend the last meeting.
Yes, Grandmother.
Maybe I should thank Director Shin. If Sowon quits, VP Kang will be left alone.
Here.
I'm sorry when I just started to work.
Sowon.
Look...
Can't I stay here just one more month? I can't find a housing place so soon.
Alright. Go ahead.
Thank you. Thank you, Sowon.
Why are you here at this hour? What about work?
Mom, I quit.
I don't think I can work with Mr. Kang as if nothing happened.
Why? Because he likes you?
How did I know?
How could I not notice? Everyone else knew.
Huh?
Him looking at you and you gradually depending on him.
I was watching that all along.
Mom.
What's so big deal about love?
When I heard that you told him about your mom when you never mentioned it...
...to me or Dawon, I knew you liked him.
You don't talk about those things with someone you don't like.
But this isn't right..
But this isn't right. I have Hyunwoo.
You've done enough for him. No one will blame you.
Won't you feel guilty to Hyunwoo if you keep disguising your feelings?
Staying beside him out of mere obligation would make you feel guilty too.
Do what your heart tell you, Sowon.
What I want is your happiness. Don't think about anything else.
You came to see this?
Not VP Kang but Sowon's quitting?
I told you. You've got Sowon, not VP Kang.
Thanks to her, Grandmother won't attend today's meeting either.
I'm so thankful to you. You've done a great workfor me in a long while.
I've done nothing. But I'm glad I won't see the thorn in my eyes anymore.
I mean to kick out Sowon as well but the order is all wrong.
VP Kang. If you meet Sowon, give her my regret.
Regret? What do you mean?
You didn't know? Sowon just turned in her resignation.
She can't quit that easily.
Yes, I'll send Sowon's resignation letter to Personnel...
Please postpone Sowon's resignation.
Why? I think she made a difficult decision.
I beg you. As you know, I'm the one who should resign.
Is she that important to you to even throw out a CEO seat?
Please postpone her resignation.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Sowon. Sowon!
-What are you doing here at this hour? -Didn't Sowon come here?
She's not home? I saw her in her room.
I just went there but she's not there. She's not answering calls either.
Please be patient.
She locked her heart for five long years.
She didn't know how she felt about you. She just realized it.
She would need some time.
Thank you. For making my daughter a woman again.
Then...
-She'll see you soon. -Okay.
Mr. Kang.
Do you know where Sowon is?
Isn't she at work?
I have to find her now.
She's in the palm of my hand. I'll find her right now.
Hello?
Where are you? Mr. Kang is looking for you.
Let's talk later. I'll get some fresh air and go back.
Sowon.
I could give him a hint.
I'll be back.
You know where she is?
I think so.
I hope... I really hope he's the right man this time.
How did you come here?
If you really wanted to hide...
...you shouldn't have let Dawon hear the sound of the beach.
I'm glad there aren't many beaches you've been to.
If not, I would've wandered many seas.
You know.
I don't think... I can say it's unfair anymore.
I can't say to those criticizing people...
...that they're wrong.
Thank you.
It won't be easy. But let's start again from right here.
It's a miracle I'm walking here hand in hand with you.
Hurry with Divorce. For Mr. Kang's sake.
I got all the information.
VP Kang lost his senses over Sowon. This photo alone will be enough.
I won't take it lying down twice.
-Your mom's hometown is Youngwol too. -Do you know my mom?
Make sure Ms. Chair gets that photo today.
I came to meet Ms. Chair.
