(Episode 78)
Hey.
I'll be living in your bedroom for a while.
What... What did you say?
No, you can't.
Who are you to tell us what we can and can't do?
So Yu will throw a fit if you go in here.
We pretty much expected that when we decided to come here.
Get out of the way.
Don't get involved if you don't want to get kicked out.
There are no extra rooms anymore. She should move out now.
Why is the room so small?
There isn't even a bed.
I can't sleep on the floor because my back hurts.
Should we get a memory foam mattress?
Is there even room for that?
With that in the room,
there won't even be any space to put our cell phones on the floor.
There are tri-fold mattresses.
You can unfold and sleep on it at night.
And when you wake up, you can fold it and put it in the corner.
Hey.
Did you eat dinner?
Why would you even ask me that in this situation?
What's wrong with this situation?
We came to his daughter's house because we have nowhere to go...
No, wait. To be exact, this isn't even So Yu's house.
Whose name is this house registered under?
Oh, I forgot. This is a rent house.
Move over.
I'm hungry.
Why are you taking it out on the containers?
You're not even bold enough to fight back.
What?
- Is it done? - Yes. Here.
- Should I add more sesame oil? - Yes.
Here it is.
Pour it in. Okay, that's enough.
It smells absolutely amazing.
- It's good, right? - It's so good.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
Bring your spoon.
So Yu.
What do you think you're doing?
Let's start fighting after we eat.
Get out.
You little brat. I'm starving right now.
Don't go inside!
This is my mom's room.
That's exactly why it's only right...
for your dad to use that room.
My gosh.
Don't you dare go into that room.
Let me go. Let go.
- Let go of me. - Gosh.
My goodness!
You little brat. What do you think you're doing?
Hey, I'm your dad's wife!
I don't even expect you to call me "Mom".
But you should at least keep your manners!
How dare you throw my food like this?
I'm not going to leave this house before I teach you...
some manners!
Hey!
Fine.
Let's see who can be more persistent.
Aren't you too young to be so spiteful?
You're even rude to your own dad!
I'm going to make you shed tears of blood today!
What's so wrong about letting me stay in your mom's room?
I'm sure you wouldn't even be this harsh to a stranger...
if she asked you to let her stay the night.
Regardless of how much you hate him, he's still your dad.
Can't you do this much for him?
"Dad"?
Are you talking about the dad...
that went on a cruise...
when his daughter even became a surrogate mother to save her mom?
I don't want a dad like that. He's practically dead to me.
Why would you think he's dead when he's alive and well?
Honey.
It seems like she's throwing a fit...
because we're trying to sleep in her mom's room.
So come over here for now.
Let's come to an agreement in the living room.
There won't be any agreements, so just get out.
Even if you take this to court, you won't be able to beat us.
No law will stand on your side...
as long as he's registered as your dad in the family register.
Please take her and leave.
The fact that we even came here...
obviously shows that we're pretty determined.
Determined to do what?
Stay out of it.
You're letting her live here even when she isn't related.
So why can't you let us?
Chae Young withdrew her deposit...
to pitch in for my mom's medical expenses.
Don't you dare talk about her that way.
Even so, she's still not family.
Yes, she's right. I know I wasn't exactly a good dad,
but I have more rights...
to live in this house than her.
If the cops don't agree to come here,
we'll bring everyone we know to kick you out,
- so just leave. - Everyone you know?
By any chance, are you talking about Choi Seo Jun?
Hey.
Please let us stay...
for a couple of days until we get a place to stay.
If you don't want us to sleep in your mom's room, then we'll...
Yes, we'll just sleep out here on the floor.
So please let us stay for just a couple of days.
I'm still okay because I'm young,
but your dad will be turning 60 soon.
You can't let him sleep outside.
I'll...
do all the household chores.
I'll clean, do the laundry, and wash the dishes.
I know I normally don't do that kind of stuff,
but I'm actually really good.
Once you guys come home from work, I'll go inside...
and stay quiet until you guys go to work the next day.
You can pretend like we don't even exist.
Why are you suddenly acting so different?
If your mom was alive,
she would've let us stay here.
I know she acted like she hated us,
but she was a very considerate woman.
Whom do you take after...
Should I get on my knees?
Must I get on my knees in front of my own daughter?
Get on your knees and apologize when you meet Mom.
What are you going to do?
Gosh, this is crazy.
They're unbelievable.
If I think about what my mom had to go through because of them,
I just want to kill them and die as well.
How can they do this?
I really hate the fact...
that he's my dad.
But the name "Choi Seo Jun" suddenly made them back down.
Can't you ask the executive director to kick them out?
He's going through a hard time because the chairman collapsed.
You can't tell him about this, okay?
Okay.
What are we going to do?
If we let them stay, I feel like they'll take over your mom's room.
I can never let that happen.
Then let's move our stuff to your mom's room...
and let them stay in this room.
I'm sorry, Chae Young.
Don't be sorry.
I'm sure they'll only be here for a couple of days.
Let's just give them what they want.
If you kick them out,
they might bring up the law...
and ask you to split the house.
Why are you standing there?
I'm waiting so I can go to the bathroom once they go to work.
We're not even allowed to poop whenever we want to?
I can't believe she's even making you hold your poop.
What an incredible daughter.
I'm only letting this slide because she might marry Choi Seo Jun.
The only way for us to survive is to become in-laws...
with LX Group once she marries Choi Seo Jun.
So let's keep holding in our poop and anger.
Let's endure everything that we can.
My gosh.
If you stay here alone, they might growl at you again.
So let's just go to work together.
Should I do that?
Who was that?
What are you doing? Let me go!
Hey! Let me go!
Let go of me!
I need to cheer up.
I shouldn't be so weary already.
But I can't be bothered to do anything.
I just want to fall asleep...
and wake up beside you, Mom.
But that's a very irresponsible thought, isn't it?
So Yu, what are you doing here?
It's nothing. Did you just come to the office?
Were you waiting for someone?
No.
So Yu, are you dating someone at work?
Pardon?
It seemed like you were waiting for someone.
Who is it?
When you date someone at work,
you need someone to help you out in order for it to last.
I'll be the one to help,
so tell me who it is.
- What are you guys doing here? - Sir.
I had some personal questions for So Yu.
Who's going to be in charge of the collaboration...
with Woodroffe?
Kang Han Na will be in charge of marketing.
But we haven't decided on the designer yet.
Are you saying you haven't even started designing anything?
I'm sorry, sir.
How about we hold a contest?
A contest?
Executive Director Choi, I see you came to work today.
- Yes. - What brings you here?
I need to talk to Ms. Eun about work.
Can I take her from you for about 30 minutes?
- Ms. Eun. - Yes?
You may go.
I think I know the answer to the question I had for So Yu.
What do you mean?
The thing is, I took the stairs this morning...
because I skipped my morning exercise.
And I saw So Yu waiting for someone.
You know how people hide so they could surprise someone?
That's exactly what it seemed like.
I asked if she was dating someone at work,
and she didn't deny it.
She's dating the executive director, isn't she?
Where were we?
Right here.
Is Executive Director Choi the guy that I think he is?
What do you mean?
Is he the guy that made you transfer schools from Yale?
I don't get why people pay so much money to study abroad...
when they're so bad that they need a private tutor.
A contest?
There aren't enough people to work on the collaboration...
in the design team because most of them need to work...
on the main season line.
That's why we decided to hold a contest.
- So you should prepare for it. - How can I do that?
You're the one who came up with the proposal.
At least one of us needs to show our thanks to Woodroffe...
for having trusted in us.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to win.
A contest?
Apparently, there's going to be a contest to pick...
the design for the collaboration with Woodroffe.
And he told me I should apply.
That's nonsense.
You're already busy here. How are you going to do that as well?
I'll do it after work so that it doesn't affect my working hours.
Are you saying you're going to apply?
Yes.
I've come to notice that Ms. Kang is very down-to-earth and competent.
You'll have a lot to learn from her.
Take advantage of what's in front of you.
You'll end up losing both if you don't focus on just one.
And I don't intend on being lenient with you.
(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)
Did you tell So Yu to get ready to apply for a contest?
Yes, I thought it'd be nice if she could achieve her dream...
since she majored in fashion design.
And this is a great opportunity.
A company doesn't care about an individual's dream.
I get that you're the chairman's son,
but you won't be able to last if you keep doing this.
The employees know everything.
Do you want them to think...
you made the contest just to help your girlfriend win?
Do you need to go that far to get to your senses?
We're going to do a blind screening.
We're going to choose three designs for the final,
manufacture the designs, and ask Woodroffe to pick the best one.
People will badmouth you saying you're trying to deceive them.
I want to give So Yu a chance.
Why are you only giving that kind of chance to her?
Because I'm worried.
Worry about her when you're with her during your personal time.
Don't bring your personal matters to work.
LX Group doesn't belong to you.
My mom shed her blood and sweat to build this company.
I'm not going to let you make a mess out of it.
- Se Hyun! - I told you to treat me formally.
If you died,
I would've died with you.
When I heard that you collapsed,
my heart suddenly felt so numb.
It felt as if a huge rock fell on top of my heart.
Are you really okay?
Yes.
Try moving your fingers for me.
My goodness.
My gosh, I think you're getting paralyzed.
Why can't you move your fingers?
Wait.
Jin Bok, try it one more time.
Try one more time.
A little more. Try again.
Are you moving them right now?
Jin Bok, you totally startled me.
Jin Bok.
I brought pine nut porridge for you.
Here.
There we go. Jin Bok, try some.
I'll eat it later.
Why? Don't you have an appetite?
No.
- Sir. - Yes?
I heard you're not enjoying the food they give you here.
So I cooked some pine nut porridge for you.
Oh, really?
Try some first.
- Pour me a bit more. - Okay, sir.
I'm here, sir.
Ms. Hong, you shouldn't talk about work here.
We don't know what might happen if he gets stressed.
- It's urgent. - Please excuse us, everyone.
Me too?
Jin Bok should be taking things easy.
I put Se Hyun as the candidate for chairman...
only as a temporary measure, sir.
Just think of him as a servant who's pretending to be the owner...
until Seo Jun fully recovers and returns.
After what happened to Seo Hyung...
and Seo Jun, there was nothing else I could do.
I know.
You don't need to explain everything.
Tell me about Seo Jun.
It took me a very long time to find something...
because it's such a rare illness.
There was a research...
that was being carried out in Switzerland,
but they had to stop because they didn't have enough research funds.
And it turns out, they're willing to continue the research...
as long as we pay for their research.
Really?
But the thing is, the amount of money they need for research...
is more than anyone could ever imagine.
Do whatever you need to pay for them even if you need...
to sell my shares.
In order to do that, I'm going to need a lot of materials.
What do you need? A warrant of attorney?
It's not that simple.
Okay, then. Let's go to the office right now.
Sir, you shouldn't be moving right now.
- Sir. - Then what should we do?
There's no time to lose.
Yes, I know. The board...
already voted for your dismissal,
so you need to secure money before that actually happens.
Things aren't going so well.
You should get better as soon as possible...
- Ms. Hong. - Yes, sir.
I want you to open my safe.
Sir... Sir, how can I...
No, sir. I... I can't do that.
We have no other choice. We can't waste any more time.
Sir, I know that you trust me. But that's too much.
You're a loyal employee who's been working for me for 30 years.
If I can't trust you, that means I lived my life in vain.
I'll write down the passcode of my safe and give it to you.
- So get me a pen and paper. - Sir.
It's okay. Hurry up.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
I'll put my life on the line to save Seo Jun.
You're getting fooled by Hong Baek Hee.
I'm no longer the Baek Choon Mi that used to get fooled by you.
So just leave.
Show up at the next board meeting and tell everyone...
that you just did what Baek Hee told you to do.
Then I'll give you and Ye Ji enough money to get by for a lifetime.
Enough to get by for a lifetime?
How much are you going to give us?
Okay, fine.
I'll give you a million dollars...
since that's how much you've always wanted.
A million dollars?
Is the chairman position of LX Group only worth that much?
What? "Only"?
Are you out of your mind?
Does a million dollars sound like a joke to you?
Then what? Do you want ten million dollars?
Even if you offer me ten million dollars,
I'm never going to let you become the chairman of LX Group.
What has gotten into you all of a sudden?
What did Hong Baek Hee say to you...
to make you become like this?
Hey, come on. You know we're better than that.
Even if Hong Baek Hee tried to manipulate you,
you can't let all our hard work go to waste like this.
Come on. I'm Bang Yoon Tae.
Plus, it seemed like you still had feelings for me that night.
If you touch me one more time,
that will be the day when you and I both end up dead.
Hey, where is the laid back Baek Choon Mi that I used to know?
Did Hong Baek Hee hypnotize you or something?
What is wrong with you?
You brazen jerk.
Please bring So Yu to me.
What are you trying to do?
If Seo Jun finds out, he'll cause a huge fuss.
It's already begun. There's no turning back.
I'm going to let him do everything he wants to do with her...
before he receives treatment.
If anything bad happens to Seo Jun, I won't be able to live.
On top of that, if our family tree no longer continues,
it'll be useless for me to stay alive.
Dad.
Are you really going to accept So Yu as your daughter-in-law?
That's nonsense.
I thought you were going to let them get married.
It won't be valid if they don't register their marriage.
Dad.
I want you to quit work...
and marry Seo Jun as fast as possible.
Sir.
Now that I've once collapsed, I'm starting to become worried.
Please grant this old man's wish...
and just do as I say.
Like I already told you,
I can't marry him.
Because of your mom and your sister?
Yes.
I'll give you as much as you want.
- Pardon? - I'll give you money.
You approached Seo Jun because of money anyway.
I'll give you as much money as you want...
if you marry Seo Jun.
Whether you continue to live as a gold digger...
or decide to stab me in the back...
is totally up to you.
If that's how you perceive me,
why are you telling me to marry your precious son?
I also never knew that I'd ever say this to you.
I'd rather just bite my tongue and die.
So the fact that I'm saying this to you...
means that there's a good enough reason.
So don't worry and just marry him.
You can do whatever you want once you give birth to his child.
I won't ask you to raise the child.
I'll let you wear the most expensive wedding dress and a diamond ring.
Do whatever you want to do.
I don't know what's going on,
but this is between me and the executive director.
We'll take care of it on our own...
How are you going to do that when you have nothing?
What can someone like you do for Seo Jun?
I'm only giving you a chance...
because Seo Jun likes you.
Then you should be grateful and just do as you're told.
Why do you keep talking back?
Shouldn't you be more calm? You're a patient.
Did you hear everything?
I won't change my mind even if you're angry.
Just do as I say.
It's my last wish.
I know where this is coming from,
but this is still wrong.
What?
I'll explain everything to So Yu.
It'd be much cooler if you apologize to her yourself.
Are you too embarrassed? Will you apologize to her next time?
Okay, then.
I want to see her out.
Do you think you can stay here by yourself for a while?
Let's go.
I'm okay.
I'm not angry.
So you can go back inside.
You were pretty impressive earlier.
Seeing you talk to the chairman so gently...
instead of yelling at him...
made my heart melt and feel all better.
So...
don't get angry at him when you go back inside.
I can't get angry at him.
After he collapsed, he's become very feeble-hearted.
So I can't seem to talk back or be stubborn with him...
anymore.
I guess you're finally growing up.
You're not even doing this gesture.
If someone suddenly matures out of the blue...
Yes? What about it?
It's just no fun.
I barely got used to your immature ways.
Earlier this morning,
I was passing by the stairway, and I heard someone coming.
And I figured it'd be you.
So I stood behind the entrance to scare you.
And the moment I tried to surprise you,
it turned out to be Ms. Kang, the woman that recently joined our team.
I was so embarrassed.
She kept acting like a detective.
"So Yu, you're dating someone at work, aren't you?"
That's what she asked.
Is it hard to laugh regardless of what I do...
because the chairman's lying sick in the hospital?
You managed to make me laugh...
regardless of what kind of situation I was in.
That's because my existence in itself brings you joy.
Now, you're finally back to being your old self.
I really can't get used to this.
Sir.
Do you want me to imitate a Pit Bull Terrier?
You really like it when I do that.
You're the most...
beautiful Pit Bull Terrier in this entire world.
I need to get going now...
if I don't want to get fired.
I need to get up now.
You should go now.
Go on before I hold onto you again.
I'll see you.
Please press the passcode.
It is now unlocked.
(Gangnam Scandal)
Please do everything you can to support Se Hyun.
Do I not need to worry about the Choi family?
- They're voting right now. - What?
Your mom lied to the executive director again.
I told you not to talk about my mom like that!
Do you really think you know everything about your mom?
Do you have proof?
You didn't really try to kill yourself, did you?
I'm going to check with Se Hyun.
