Episode 14
You're dead. How can a dead person be next to Tae-Ri?!
I'm not a dead person.
I'm Geum Eun-Dong.
What time is it?
12 'o clock. Aren't you tired?
I'm fine. You're probably tired, so go now.
I'm not tired at all. It's been too long since I've done something my heart wanted to do.
That heart...
Let's move somewhere else. The dawn air is quite chilly here, so I don't think we should stay here for long.
What? The betrothal?
Ssht!!
Great-grandfather might hear us!
So, Soon-Shim herself brought it up that she wants to be betrothed to Eun-Dong again?
and even with all these bribes?
Exactly. I don't feel good about this.
What in the world is she planning on doing?
I have absolutely no idea!
Honey. Let's do it!
Eun-Dong might come back if we allow the betrothal.
What?!
Do you not know the charisma of the men in the Geum family?
They say that it is a certain fish that makes daughter-in-laws that have left home come back, but
with the men in the Geum family
can even run back a thousand miles to see the girl they love.
Yeah, alright. Good for you, good for you, good for you!
I oppose, anyways.
I don't like the fact that a girl like Soo-Shim would be a good match with Eun-Dong, and
I hate it even more having her as a daughter-in-law.
Isn't your son coming back home more important than her being your daughter-in-law?
Alright, they do say that a mother-in-law's temper is sent from the heavens.
and it's probably reasonable for you to dislike Soon-shim that much.
Well this--!
Think about it just once.
-What are you doing? -You look so pretty!
Why did that foxy girl buy a fox fur scarf in the middle of summer?
Take this away.
So, you are saying, from your perspective,
that Tae Ri likes my brother very very much?
Yes. She likes him so much.
Then let me ask you one thing.
If my brother were to change all of a sudden,
how will Tae Ri react?
He will change all of a sudden? What about him?
His personality? Or his body type?
Uh.. That.. I..
Wait! Stay like that for a moment!
Why?
Because you look really pretty right now.
You look really great on screen.
You look great too, Min Gook.
Your eyebrows are really pretty, like a spikey caterpillar.
Hong Shil. I really miss
your chopstick-like legs from hearing your voice.
I am very mentally unstable right now because of my younger brother.
Could you show me a full shot of yourself as a way to cheer me on?
F-full shot?!
I'm home.
Hey, Eun Dong. Did you resolve your problem with Tae Ri?
No, I just gave an SOS to my friends first.
Friends?
Coach, I told Soo-Bin and Dae-Gi everything today.
That I am Eun-Dong.
Are you for real?
Weren't they shocked? Dae-gi has a weak heart, that's enough to make him pass out.
Luckily, they were okay.
I feel weird.
Soon Shim, Soo Bin, and even Dae Gi.
People around me are starting to know who I am.
I know. How are we supposed to take this in as?
Coach, about that woman, Soo Ji?
How come she doesn't know that Hwang Min Soo is dead?
It was his last request.
Huh? A request?
Soo Ji had been very sick.
But he was afraid that if she found out he was dead, she would give up on her life.
So he told me if anything went wrong while he was hiking, to never tell her.
So your brother never got to protect his girl until the end.
There are lots of forms of love. Even though my brother can't be with her,
he protected her by enabling her to keep on living her life. That was his way.
These are the memorial hall styles of different famous museums.
Most of the buildings are over a hundred years old,
but because of constant restoration projects, they are sturdy enough for another hundred more years.
It is possible probably because the foundation is strong too.
You're right. A building with a strong foundation is okay even with small restoration.
Like how if relationships have a strong foundation, they can be mended quickly.
The owner can choose whether to fix a building or not.
Some owners will be satisfied only with small amounts of repair.
And some owners will tear down everything and start from scratch.
And others might even try to get rid of the building's existence.
I just want to leave things as it is right now.
Since there's time before construction, Give me an answer after you think about it more.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Go ahead. I will decide on your offer after thinking about it carefully.
Tae Ri, I...
Director.
What is it this early in the morning?
There is a shareholders' meeting right now at the company.
A shareholders' meeting? I have never heard of such before.
The Vice President arranged it, excluding you. First, let's hurry over there.
Is this a gift for someone?
Ah, Yeah. For my girlfriend.
Is there something that will last longer than flowers?
A catcus is a determined one, so it would be the best one to tend for a long time.
And it is accustomed to the wilderness, so it won't take up much time to take care of it either.
I'll take that.
What is the reason for this sudden shareholders' meeting?
I think that this was targeted towards you.
The interruption on the designation of the sundial
was probably to put the museum at risk and oust you at the end.
I am going to say this loud and clear in front of the shareholders.
That I will protect the museum with my power til the very end.
Director, embrace yourself. You might even be confronted with the worst scenario possible.
There is no worse scenario than this. Go faster.
Hello. Hello.
Ah yes, Hello.
I'm sorry for making you come so early in the morning over a boring issue.
It is rude of me to call all of you here for something that doesn't make any profit.
We only trust in you.
But you do make an unprofitable issue profitable, right?
Well then, we should get this over quickly and head out for lunch.
I will buy all of you a great luch that you wouldn't think this was a waste of your morning.
Let's begin.
First, I will announce the topic of discussion for today's shareholders' meeting.
Today's topic is about the closing down of Dae Dong Museum
that is currently under the possession of Lee Tae Ri, the only daughter of the late Director Lee Dong Won.
This number is not taking calls now.
Leave a message at the sound of the...
What's going on?
What brings you here?
There isn't a spot prepared for you.
There was no invitation.
You have no sense like always.
Continue.
Because the museum's unstable state, and...
poor advertisement, and recent negative news
there's been a setback on our national treasure exhibition.
Then couldn't the group just help them?
Of course, I want to...
However,
we have to cover an immense amount to help them,
this can be a huge loss for the group.
And we are all aware that our group's state has been lightly wavering
The sundial was restored well,
and now I'm just going on my path
And saying that stuff on broadcast TV.. Pfft
I'm flabbergasted.
Even though we're not related by blood...
As a family, how long has it been?
I, only wanted to come here to clear the misunderstandings with my uncle.
That's just the problem.
After our recent ex-President dies, and at this crucial time,
a foul play like this,
shows no care for the group.
Aren't these motives very selfish?
Today, I will propose an important decision.
To the shareholders, in order to strengthen the group's future...
the decision concerns getting rid of this unstable museum.
Will you trust me and follow the decision?
Uncle,
you can't shut down the museum.
You know that the museum was Grandfather's dream.
Didn't you know?
My kind of dream is much bigger than my dad's.
Please help me.
I want to protect the museum.
That knee... was bowed too late.
Director.
Shut it down.
You can't. Please leave now.
What's up with you guys?
What are you doing here?
Please get out.
Secretary Hong, what's happening?
What?
News: CLS Group has made the decision to close Director Tae Ri's Dae Dong Museum
This decision was made earlier this morning in a shareholder's meeting.
Dae Dong museum...
Confiscate everything.
Don't touch anything!
If you touch anything in this room, I won't leave you alone!
What are you doing? Take it.
President? This is Dae Dong Museum's director Lee Tae Ri...
Hello?
President... President!!
Director.
Why are you going this way?
Please go home for now.
Because yesterday's decision,
we can't even get inside the museum.
Does that make sense?!
Does it make sense I can't get in my own museum?!
That place is my work space.
I didn' t even finish my morning coffee there.
Please calm down for now, and head home.
I'm going to the museum.
I didn't even finish talking to my employees.
And I have to give them their paycheck tomorrow.
We can't just leave like we got kicked out from a fire!
If you fight right now, you'll be the one hurt for sure.
We won't ever let the museum go.
Sunbae!
Oh!
The sudden closing process,
probably took all the employees by surprise.
We're never gonna go down at this time, so...
Tell the employees to take this time as a vacation break
I understand.
Are you okay?
How's the museum?
It's crying
because the owner is crying like this.
Then obviously the museum's crying right now.
I didn't know uncle would go this far.
I'm sorry.
It was my responsibility to have no one mess with you,
I was supposed to protect you well.
Why did it happen like that?
You should've protected me.
I've turned out like this...
Where did you go all this time?
I only waited for you.
and only looked to you..
but where were you all this time?
I won't ever make you wait again.
I promise.
She was adopted?!
Wow. This is really shocking.
Wait, then..
If the Uncle wanted to use his power properly,
Then he can take out Lee Tae Ri in one hit.
And if enough people go against him...
then the whole thing can backfire at him.
Wow, this is severe!
Sunbae. Sunbae, please help me.
On who's side and how?
Lee Tae Ri's.
So that Tae Ri can get back her museum.
Hey. When you came to Korea from Milan, weren't you totally over with Lee Tae Ri?
I beg of you.
After we see the situation.
Love has a lot of appearances.
Even though my brother can't be with her,
He was protecting her by securing her path to keep on living.
In his own way.
Coach.
Please prepare a special dinner
Even though I never showed it...
I was always secure because you were always there.
Promise me...
that you'll never leave me again :*(
Ha Soom-Shin!
No Hong-Shil...
I heard you couldn't do it.
It's my decision to do it or not.
Are you our team's shoe?
Why do you take it on and off (shoe) and do whatever you want?
Likewise, you better get your head straight.
And stop messing with Lee Tae Ri.
Do you really think I lost to Lee Tae Ri?
Hwang Min-Soo, that man, is bound to be with me.
So, send that message to Lee Tae Ri.
to get her head straightened out properly.
What are you planning now?!
I warned you!
to stop messing with Lee Tae Ri!
Ah~ I can't hear, I can't hear!
Hong-shil, calm yourself...
In my relationship with Hwang Min-Soo,
there's a very special past.
The kind you and Tae-Ri can't even imagine
Emergency!!
It's an emergency-emergency!!
What now?!
Our sponsor is in trouble.
Lee Tae-Ri is now totally ruined!
Manager, what's that supposed to mean?
Ruined?
She got kicked out by the group.
and the museum got closed down.
What do we do now?
We only trusted Lee Tae-Ri,
and closed all the other contracts.
[omg]
Manager,
clear my schedule.
No Hong-Shil!
We have a filming set for tonight.
Do that before you leave.
Manager,
I want to do this.
"I cheated on you."
Oh.
I heard this script is from Hollywood.
If it's a Hollywood narration
this is definitely going to be popular
and if we definitely do the acting well,
then it's only a matter of time until we find a new sponsor.
Tae Ri.
When you wake up, don't think of anything but eating your breakfast
Eat a whole bowl of rice and a lot of side dishes, because you'll need the strength.. and don't leave leftovers.
Oh, and the cactus is going to protect you while I'm gone.
So, fighting!
I love you.
Aigoo... Let's eat.
That's good. I was worried you weren't eating and just lying in bed.
Of course. I have to eat and have the strength to fight.
You're right.
You're doing the right thing.
Even though it's hard, we'll get through.
I'm trying my best to find ways to get the museum back.
You don't have to help me.
Having someone else in my heart, and having you help me..
isn't right to you or him.
Just because I want this,
I don't want to backstab anyone.
Tae Ri.
Hwang Min-soo, that guy..
Hwang Min-soo is the only person helping me get through this.
But if you do anything to Hwang Min-Soo
then I might break down completely.
I don't want to hear or know everything that you know.
What if it's something you really have to know?
Then that's even more reason to hear it from Hwang Min Soo.
Coach
Coach!
You rascals, finally!
Wow.. it's really good since it's been so long.
That's what I'm saying!
These nice kids...
But Eun-dong, what's the reason you three getting together?
To make a team.
to protect my girl, Lee Tae Ri.
The sundial is going to come back to normal soon.
Hwang Min Soo, thank you.
I love right now so much.
Uncle, it's Lee Tae Ri.
Please meet me right now.
Lee Tae Ri's Protection Emergency Plan
I, Hwang Min Guk, am the director. The team leader is Geum Eun Dong.
The assistant team leader is Lee Soo Bin. And his assistant is
Go Dae Gi...
Our mission?
We'll find a way to help Tae Ri get the museum back.
Did my dad really take the museum from Tae Ri?
Yep, he took it.
Jesus! Soo-bin, talk to your dad! You're his total weakness.
Dae Gi,
this is not a small matter.
Soo Bin. You're not feeling bad about this, right?
Cool~ I don't even have a little interest in the museum.
It's just my dad's greediness is too big.
Then, Eun Dong, what do we have to do?
First, we need to restore the national treasure.
National treasure?
If the national treasure is restored, then it has to be exhibited in a museum.
Eun Dong, are we really able to do that kind of stuff?
This matter can be handled really well using Apple Head (the girl singing group).
Hey, how can we involve Apple Head?
Probably Eun Dong is gonna figure that out.
Then I'll convince my dad really well for the restoration.
And then, little head (Dae- Gi) does the publicity.
But, this is the problem...
Soo Bin.
Dae Gi.
I'll trust you.
For...
Lee Tae Ri!
Hwang Min-Soo is the strength I need for getting through this.
Whatever you know, I don't want to hear it or know it.
I want to help you.
I am about to go crazy because I want to help you.
This night,
the fact that the only thing I am able to do is run, is making me go crazy.
What's going on?
Did you come because you missed me?
Soo Shim. You'll have to help me.
Advertise for the museum.
What the. Are you asking me to help Lee Tae-Ri after she got kicked out?
Yeah, please help Tae Ri.
Really?
So, you getting me to help is your method?
Method?
Yeah.
The you-coming-back-to-me method.
Since the Eun Dong I know is manly, and knows how to protect his girl like a responsible man,
then you could feel sorry for Lee Tae Ri.
That kind of help could be done by Eun-dong. Yeah think whatever you'd like.
Aw, sorry but what do we do?
I don't want to do it.
Ha Soon Shim!
I'll think about it.
If you help me this time, I'll honestly try to consider you a girl once.
Eun-dong. I've always been a girl.
And you've always been my man.
Please, Soo-shim.
Leave
Don't say useless things that'll make my muscles drop while I'm exercising.
Secretary Hong. Huh? To where?
And where's that?
I'm here to see Mr. Lee
Please come this way. The manager has made a reservation already.
Inheritence Waiver Contract
I will cancel all my rights to the inheritance.
Only if
you don't shut down the museum,
and I can continue to direct it.
I ask of you.
I couldn't make time so I sent guests over.
Let's be open about your birth situation.
Uncle.
Foolish girl.
Convincing me with your inheritance?
Even if you do that, you're not gonna get anything anyways
There was nothing for you from the very beginning.
Is it true that you were adopted?
What's the reason for hiding the truth till now?
By any chance does it have to do anything with the inheritance?
Please say something.
Miss Lee Tae Ri
I'm a little late, aren't I? Let's go.
Geum Eun Dong
So, you're giving me a karma lesson from our past?
What's there to hate about me?!
He dares asks me after making me feel like that?
I'll think about it. If you do this, I'll genuinely try to think of you as a girl.
How do I believe that? After I help, he just keeps liking Lee Tae Ri... and then I'm left stupid?
How should I stamp the deal?
Hello?
Great-Grandfather?
It's me, Soon Shim.
Eun Dong's betrothed, Soon Shim!
Terry.
Should we just go far away?
So that nobody can find us.
Very well.
Let's go.
Then...
we're going.
Where's this?
My comfort place.
A place with no difficulties or complexities, my comfort space.
This is probably where you learned to swim.
Yep.
Hold on.
Tae Ri, sit here.
This is a very special place to me.
Because all my past dwells in that water.
I'm jealous that on a day like today
you have a comfort place to go to.
You should try to make a comfort place to go to, too.
When your world feels like it's about to end, having a hole of breathable space
is one hell of a support.
I have one.
Where is that?
You.
You're my comfort place.
Tae Ri.
Wasn't today very difficult?
Yep. It was very hard.
That's why I only saw you.
Even if the whole world shuns and points their finger at me,
In it, there's you who thinks of me and supports me...
Oddly, in the most difficult times,
I had the most strength.
Then Tae Ri, I'll fullfil one wish for you.
A wish?
Since you were hurt a lot today, it's to strengthen you.
It's a wish that won't let you get hurt like this again.
Swimming?
Pardon?
Swimming?
I want to see you swim in the place that dwells your past.
Alright.
Then I'm gonna go change in my swimsuit, so stay here.
Oh, and...
listen to music here. The music goes straight to the heart here.
I'll be right back.
It's going to be okay, since it wasn't because of the swimming.
Wait a minute..
Where was Coach's locker key?
Tae-ri. Listen well.
From here on out, I will tell you my real story.
Tonight might be the last night you see my appearance as it is.
Although I hope that's not true... I-
am really 14 years old.
I don't know how this happened, but
I think it's because of you.
At first, the Lee Tae-Ri woman seemed too big for me
and too difficult...
and hard to bear, but
looking at how much I've changed because of you...
I'm so grateful to you.
Whether I'm 14 or 25,
my heart for you will never change.
Lee Tae-Ri.
I love you.
Are you okay?
Usually this school's pool closes down at 10PM. I forgot for a second.
Tae-Ri...
Were you that startled?
Hwang Min-Soo..
You...
are 14 years old?
