Go ahead. What's it about?
I heard you said you need my dad's shares.
Well...
Did I say that?
I don't recall saying that.
You told my dad that you wouldn't hire his company...
for anything in the future if he didn't give you his shares.
Right, I guess I did say that.
Why did you do that?
It's all your fault.
Did you call off your engagement to my son...
without even expecting these consequences?
So is that why you took the share transfer agreement...
my dad gave me?
What do you mean?
Did you hire someone...
to steal that agreement from me?
- Mom. - Seung Joo.
You impudent wench.
How dare you accuse me of stealing?
Seung Joo, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Get up.
Know your place. How dare you say such a thing?
What?
I hired someone to steal your share transfer agreement?
Why would I do such a thing?
Because I know that you need those shares,
I gathered the courage to dare to ask you about it.
I've reported it to the police. They'll find out who did it,
but I wanted to ask you in person before that.
If the police investigate it...
and find out that I have nothing to do with it,
what will you do then?
- Pardon? - When that happens,
I won't forgive you.
Did you get that?
I apologize if I offended you.
You see,
your problem is that you always act before you think.
In life,
there's nothing you can earn with that kind of attitude.
Let's say...
I had my eye on the Hyunkang shares that your father owns.
Do you actually think I'd hire someone...
to steal those shares like a stray cat stealing food?
I don't have to use such means.
If I want to,
I can get my hands on those darn shares anytime.
You watch me. I'll show you what I can do.
This is way out of line, Seung Joo.
How could you accuse my mother of such a crime with no evidence?
I can't let this slide even if she can.
I apologize on her behalf.
Seung Joo had a break-in recently, so she's quite sensitive these days.
She hasn't even been getting much sleep.
She found out today that the agreement is missing,
so she probably just went ahead and asked you. I'm sorry.
Why are you getting involved in this?
Are you her spokesperson or what?
He's right. You shouldn't be apologizing on my behalf.
I'm sorry.
I asked you such a rude question when I didn't even have any proof.
Please forgive me.
But you see,
if it turns out that you had any involvement in it,
I won't let it slide either.
Is this...
how you ask for forgiveness?
It's just that I still don't quite understand.
Si Woo and I are no longer engaged, so why do you need those shares?
And why did you threaten my dad...
that you wouldn't hire his company back if he didn't give them to you?
Also, why do those shares...
matter so much...
to you and Si Woo?
I suppose I'll find the answers eventually.
I'll make sure I find out your true motives.
I'll just go home, Nam Jin.
Now?
No, stay here for just one more day.
I'll be worried.
Move. Nam Jin is right.
Now, everyone knows you're here. It's late, so just stay here.
My gosh, look at your cheek.
You're a witch, not an angel.
You should never hit anyone.
How could you slap someone's precious daughter?
Let's go.
Please do some cold compresses on her cheek with ice.
Okay, I'll get an ice pack ready.
Well...
Your hand must be hurting too.
Would you like cold compresses as well?
My beautiful, graceful angel.
Such an act of violence...
doesn't suit your beauty and grace.
I know how upset you must've been at the false accusation.
But especially at times like that, it's better to talk...
through the problem rather than getting aggressive.
Let's talk, Si Woo.
Mom, you didn't do it, right?
Even you're suspicious of me?
No, it's not that.
Who do you think stole the share transfer agreement?
Mr. Han's brother-in-law, obviously.
He came to see me yesterday with that agreement.
Then why didn't you tell her that?
She can't know yet.
There's something I need him to do for me.
What do you mean?
You don't need to know.
When the police launch their investigation,
they'll find out the connection between you and him.
What connection?
I have nothing to do with that man.
In the end, those shares will be transferred to us...
through legitimate steps.
Really?
You're not engaged in something illegal, are you?
Not at all, so don't worry about a thing.
Mr. Han's shares will be transferred to you in the near future.
In a very legal way, of course.
And even if everything is revealed,
Mr. Han's brother will be the one getting punished.
I mean, she could've just tried to talk it through.
Why did she have to hit Seung Joo?
She acts all elegant and ladylike, but she's such a horrible person.
You must be hungry. Shall I fix dinner for you?
No, I have no appetite.
Still, you should eat something.
Nam Jin has to eat something too.
That's right.
Make something quick so that they can at least have a few bites.
Sure.
I must say, it is a bit odd.
Why on earth does she need Mr. Han's shares?
How much does he own?
I'm not too sure, but it should be around seven percent.
The float of Hyunkang shares is very low,
but Ms. Choi and Si Woo already own a lot more than that.
Why are they dying to get their hands on it?
What do you think? It's because they're greedy.
Don't you know?
Those who already have a lot always want to take more from others.
Cut it out. My angel isn't that kind of person.
You're such a traitor.
Hey, Nam Jin and Seung Joo.
You should fire him from your team.
He'll tell that witch all of your team's...
confidential information if she asks him for it.
Gosh, what are you talking about?
Love and work are two separate things.
Do you know why "Romeo and Juliet" is considered a masterpiece?
It's because those star-crossed lovers are from feuding families.
That's why. You probably don't even get it.
Stop spewing utter nonsense.
I'm sorry about today.
I acted recklessly when I didn't even have any firm evidence.
I'll make sure nothing like this happens again.
Seung Joo, you are cool indeed.
Did you realize that just now?
(Password)
What? Is there a password?
What are you doing in the dark?
What is it?
He put a password on his phone.
Another password?
Those passwords are giving me so much trouble.
Gosh, I thought Man Seok was a fool, but he's so meticulous.
What are you saying? Why is he a fool?
How could he be a fool if he grew his business that much?
Seriously. Shall we just send this phone to a professional?
- "A professional"? - Yes.
We can get it unlocked for 3,000 dollars.
But we can't get back the phone.
Hey.
If his phone disappears when he's asleep, who would become suspects?
You and I are the only people in this house.
We can be adamant and say that we don't know.
Then what? Shall we say that a cat must've taken it...
or that cockroaches took it on their backs?
Cockroaches are a bit too much.
But the password...
Could it be your birthday?
It's six digits.
Then what could it be?
Could it be Seung Joo's birthday?
- Seung Joo's birthday? - Yes.
- When is Seung Joo's birthday? - I don't know that.
You're her stepmom. Shouldn't you know better?
Don't call me her stepmom.
Do I look like someone who has a daughter her age?
People still think I'm a single, young lady.
I'll ask Man Seok about Seung Joo's birthday tomorrow.
Wait for just one more day.
Do I have to wait again?
Because of these passwords,
I might hallucinate and see my own children, whom I don't have.
Shut it before I hit you.
Seriously.
Good morning, miss.
Good morning, Mr. Jang.
What is this?
Could it be that you stayed all night at the office?
I couldn't finish my work.
But still. Did you work all night because of that?
My gosh, you're working too hard.
Let's take it easy, okay?
"Take it easy"?
I won't allow that, Mr. Jang.
Gosh, I know that.
Why is everyone on our team so scary?
The team leader keeps pushing the team,
and the new designer stays up all night at the office.
She stayed up all night?
Did you really stay up all night at the office?
It was because I couldn't finish the design.
What about Ms. Choi? Did she come to work with you?
Yes.
Then I'll go get a cup of morning coffee with her.
Sure. Go ahead.
Do you not want to talk with me?
What do you mean?
It's nothing like that.
Then are you angry at me?
Angry?
Why would I be angry at you?
Gosh, there's so much traffic. I see you're here already.
- Hello. - Good morning.
Hello.
You seem very tired.
Is your work too exhausting?
No. I'm fine, Mr. Lee.
Tell me whenever you need my help.
No matter what others say, we're friends.
I understand.
I'm sure you wanted to forget everything...
about your family and hometown.
I must keep reminding you of all that.
I was foolish not to see that.
I only gave you have a hard time.
I won't do that anymore.
I'll just stay at a distance and wish for your success.
I'll wish again and again for your success as a designer.
You fool.
You should rather just curse at me and hate me.
Then I would feel less sorry.
Nam Jin and I...
must be fools.
Fools who cannot stop...
even when we know it's impossible.
What are you doing here?
I came to see what's taking you so long for just a cup of cocoa.
My goodness. Here.
This is for our impatient head designer.
What is this? It's all cold now.
That's impossible. I just made it now.
That's hot. It's still hot.
I don't want hot chocolate. Get me a cup of coffee.
What was that? What's her problem?
My goodness. I'll have to make another cup.
The items we shall reveal on the first contest...
will be business formal, date outfit, and sportswear.
Mr. Jang, Ms. Seo, and Ms. Jung...
should hand in your first designs until tomorrow morning.
Until tomorrow morning?
Why? Is it impossible?
No, I can hand it in until then.
What about Mr. Jang and Ms. Jung?
The details need to be revised, but the outline is finished.
I think it will be finished by tomorrow morning.
Yes, I can do that too.
Then we should hold another meeting after finishing the designs...
and choose appropriate materials.
Please get the estimated prices for our materials, Mr. Jo.
Yes, sir.
However, the tricot fabrics for the rash guard is expensive.
Would it be okay?
It must be made of tricot fabrics even if it's expensive.
There's nothing that's more comfortable and fitting.
We must use that even if we have to set a higher price.
Yes, sir.
Ms. Kim.
Did you settle the matter with the company in Italy?
Yes, we are short of lace,
but they promised to send it to us until our production date.
Okay. Good.
I heard some complaints on the school uniforms from students,
but things seem more serious than we thought.
They say it's a project of six years trapped in school uniforms.
"A project of six years trapped in school uniforms"?
Hey, that makes sense.
They're literally trapped in school uniforms.
You're right.
Most school uniforms are very restricting...
and are easily damaged since they use very thin fabrics.
Yes, I agree.
Most students can't even raise their arms...
and say they feel like a corset because they're too tight.
I feel sad to see that they're trapped in such a situation...
when they should be active at that age.
If you tell us about the designs you're thinking of,
I think that would help us in deciding the materials for them.
Okay. I came up with designs for hoodies,
shorts, and culottes.
They're comfortable.
And above all, they're below half the price...
compared to the current student uniforms.
My goodness. I think it's great.
With such designs, I think we can expand our sales routes.
- Really? - Yes.
The schools choose their uniforms these days.
So we can directly contact schools or open a parents' meeting...
to promote our sales.
Some schools even let the students choose their uniforms,
so we can contact students too.
Ms. Lee is designing their sportswear, right?
Yes.
Instead of the sportswear that look like prison uniforms,
It's more like leisure-sportswear. My design emphasizes functionality.
That's great.
By the way, what's this mesh pocket for?
It's a cell phone pocket.
It can be opened or closed with snap buttons.
It'll help students protect their phones.
Okay, good idea.
But the sewing process for that will be quite tricky.
"Tricky" means it's doable, right?
Have you forgotten who I am?
All right. Great meeting, everyone.
Let's keep up the good work.
- Okay. - Let's keep going!
Come in, Si Woo.
Ms. Na.
- Hello. - What brings you here?
I asked her to come.
We just had lunch together.
Come have a seat here.
You should've called me.
Did anyone else join you for lunch?
I wanted you to join us, but I heard your meeting went overtime.
Didn't she make you uncomfortable?
My mom isn't exactly the comfortable type.
I wasn't uncomfortable at all.
She's so nice to me. I had such a great time.
I think you two are meant to be.
I found out that So Jeong's mother and I...
went to the same high school.
Whenever my mom likes something, she aggressively pursues it.
- Will you be okay? - To be honest,
I wasn't expecting this,
but you seem like a great guy, so I don't think it's a bad idea...
to just trust my instincts about you.
So Jeong told me...
she got the impression that you'd be able to understand her music...
and be supportive of it.
That's what she likes the most about you.
I'll be overseas for about six months every year.
Not many guys would be okay with that.
I could tell that Si Woo's words were sincere.
He sincerely wants me to do well.
(Na So Jeong)
Becoming number one in your field...
is a wonderful thing.
I don't like people who settle for mediocrity.
On that note, I think you two...
should consider getting engaged...
before So Jeong leaves for Italy.
Her parents also said they'd feel better about her...
going overseas again if she got engaged.
I'll be fine with that if she's okay with it.
Sounds good. When things are meant to be, you just know it right away.
I'll speak with her mother...
and set a date for your engagement ceremony,
so you two don't have to do anything.
Just go on dates and have a great time.
Okay.
I should get going now.
All right.
- You should see her out. - Okay.
Things are happening quickly, aren't they?
I left some snacks for your team members in your office.
I see. Thank you.
I heard you have an important contest coming up.
I'm not one of those women who pester their busy boyfriends...
to spend time with them,
so don't worry about me and focus on your work.
I'm quite busy myself.
You have a knack for making people feel at ease.
My mom always told me...
that I need my own life if I want to marry a businessman.
She said it's the most important secret to a happy marriage.
You don't have any bad habits, do you?
Like what?
Do you pick fights,
attack people, or fall asleep when you get drunk?
I can't drink more than a glass of wine anyway.
You have nothing to worry about.
After you.
I guess that intense meeting in the morning stressed me out.
My stomach is upset.
I know, right?
I thought I'd have nothing to worry about after joining Team One.
I had no idea it'd be this stressful.
How about we go for coffee?
You said you haven't even finished your design.
Do you actually have time to enjoy coffee now?
I can drink it quickly and get back to my design.
I just have to submit it by tomorrow morning, you know.
All right, how about we go for iced Americano?
In this weather?
I need to cool down after that intense meeting.
A new coffee shop just opened up. Shall we check it out?
- Shall we? - Yes.
Will we get free rice cakes if they just opened?
Didn't you say your stomach is upset?
I'll just eat some rice cakes and suffer.
Let's go.
What about you, Jin Ah?
Will you come with us too?
Sure.
But that coffee shop is...
What?
Dae Sik opened a café in front of our office building?
Yes. You can head back in if you'll be uncomfortable.
Dae Sik's parents are probably there too.
I'll head back in.
You're not coming with us?
No, I'll see you in the office.
Let's go.
Wait up!
Let's go to a recital together as soon as I have more time.
Sure, sounds good.
- I'll call you. - Okay.
Hello.
1 iced Americano and 2 lattes, please.
Sure thing, Yeon Ji.
I brought you new customers. Aren't I amazing?
Thank you.
Thanks. I'll only charge you for 2 of the 3.
Go have a seat. I'll bring the coffee to you.
By the way, where's Jin Ah?
Your parents are here, so she wouldn't be comfortable.
- I'll bring her another time. - Okay.
My gosh, Dae Sik's pretty friend is here.
Hello, ma'am.
Those grilled bellflower roots were so good.
You're such an amazing cook.
Everything my wife makes is delicious.
- You're here too, Mr. Kang. - Yes.
Have a seat. I'll give you some rice cakes.
Okay.
Here are some rice cakes for you.
- Thank you. - They look delicious.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Your coffee will be right out.
She's cheerful and friendly.
Isn't she just perfect for Dae Sik?
But she's not as pretty as Jin Ah.
Don't you know that pretty women are often difficult?
Then what about you?
You're pretty, but you aren't like that.
Gosh, I'm an exception.
Minhan is struggling financially at the moment.
CEO Han Man Seok's brother-in-law, Ko Seon Gyu,
embezzled company funds and even sold off materials.
He was even arrested for it.
Mr. Han cleared his debt for him with his own money and got him out.
He embezzled company funds and even sold off materials?
Why?
I think he did it to pay off his gambling debt.
What's happening with Mr. Han's Hyunkang shares?
Nothing has changed yet.
Okay, you may leave now.
Hi, Nam Jin. It's me, Heo Chung San.
You said Seung Joo had a break-in.
Is anything missing?
Sorry? Share transfer agreement?
I see.
No, it's nothing.
Then I'll see you later.
Ms. Choi must be after Minhan's shares.
I should come up with a plan.
All right, Mr. Lee. Time to go home.
My gosh, where did the time go?
We're leaving for the day.
My grandfather's 49th day ceremony is today.
Oh, the 49th day ceremony is today?
Is there anything I need to help with?
There's nothing you need to do. My mom and Ms. Heo is cooking,
and Mr. Lee is a professional in taking care of the squid.
Squid? What is that for?
There's a use for that. Just keep that in mind.
Can't you do it properly? They're all getting burnt.
Do these flip by themselves whenever they get too hot?
You should flip them on time.
What can I do if they get burnt even if I flip them?
Just get out of my way. I'll do it myself.
Here. Give me that, and go clean the tables.
What is this?
It seems like you're in charge of teaching Ms. Choi.
Then are you in charge of teaching me?
Doesn't that make me the boss?
My goodness. You're right.
My goodness. Seriously.
We're here.
What took you so long?
Things were so difficult for me.
Well, we were working.
Are you saying that you were waiting for me, Ms. Choi?
What do you mean?
Just clean the tables.
Okay. I'll clean them well.
We'll get going now.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Gosh, mine is finally done.
I'll get going now.
Okay, Mr. Lee. We'll go home after we finish ours.
Okay. Keep up the good work, Ms. Seo.
I shouldn't have drunk yesterday.
Why did Young Cheol have to visit us in this situation?
Did you not eat those pastries yet?
They're really delicious.
- Can I eat them? - Yes.
These are from a really famous bakery.
I heard people line up for them.
I mean, what kind of a rich family does that woman come from...
to hand around these expensive snacks?
Don't you agree?
Rich people always meet rich people.
Gosh, these are delicious.
My gosh, Ms. Jung! What's wrong?
Oh, no. What should I do?
What happened?
What's wrong with Ms. Jung?
I don't know. She suddenly collapsed.
Ms. Jung. Ms. Jung.
Wake up, Ms. Jung!
What should we do? Should I call an ambulance?
(It's My Life)
We should wait for 30 more minutes and proceed...
if they don't come by then.
What do you mean?
Are we proceeding without Si Woo?
Are you sure he didn't forget about the chairman's memorial today?
When is Seung Joo's birthday?
- Why do you ask? - To cook for her birthday.
Seung Joo's birthday is...
Be honest with me. You worried about me, right?
To be honest, I was completely worried that I had to come.
Don't be afraid. I'll be right by your side.
