I got stomach cramps in the middle of the night.
So I don't think I can see you off.
I hope you have a safe trip.
Does your stomach feel better now?
I just finished going through the departure procedure.
Now, I'm about to go in.
I'll call you once I'm there.
(Episode 85)
So Yu.
Se Hyun.
What are you doing here?
I need to go inside now.
I think we'll need to dispatch someone else.
What do you mean?
Seo Jun's really sick.
He already said he can't see me off because he has stomach cramps.
It's not a stomach cramp.
- What? - I can't guarantee...
that he'll be healthy when you come back in two months.
What do you mean?
What's wrong with the executive director?
Why would you say something so scary?
You need to tell me more specifically.
Seo Jun...
got diagnosed with a rare illness called Alberckros syndrome.
It's an incurable illness.
And he might only live...
for about 6 to 12 months.
What?
I think he pushed ahead with sending you abroad...
so that you won't find out about it.
But I came because I thought you should know.
I thought you should at least be given a chance to choose.
Where is he right now?
Wait.
Let's get your stuff and talk about this before we go.
He fainted once back in the States.
And he fainted again recently...
while we were drinking together.
It must've been so hard for him.
But I knew nothing about it.
Right now, he's only showing signs of anemia.
But his central nervous system will eventually get paralyzed.
It's an immune disorder.
An immune disorder?
It's caused by a dysfunction of the immune system.
No one knows the cause, and there's not much information on it.
Even the hospital couldn't suggest a treatment for him.
There's nothing?
There's nothing he can do?
How can it be incurable?
Can't he get surgery or something? There has to be a way.
Aren't there any patients...
who were able to fully recover?
I need to see him.
So Yu!
Dad, Seo Jun doesn't look well.
What do you mean?
He responds to what I say, but he can't open his eyes.
And he must've sweat so much...
because his entire pillow is soaked.
What? What did you say?
Hurry... Hurry up and call Doctor Kang.
Okay.
Seo Jun. Seo Jun.
It's me, your dad. Seo Jun, wake up.
My goodness.
Why did you just lie here?
You should've called me.
Seo Jun. Seo Jun.
He said he'll send someone right away.
What is your problem?
This wouldn't have happened if you checked up on him at dawn.
Goodness, Seo Jun.
Put that useless thing away!
- Seo Jun. - I'm fine.
Seo Jun, tell me what's wrong.
What's wrong?
What...
- I said, I'm fine. - Okay.
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.
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.
Well, yes. But...
Did you forget? You promised to spend time with me after work.
But instead, you can spend that time preparing for the contest.
I won't bother you.
Please stop worrying about me.
Sir.
Just take care of your own self.
Why would you worry about me?
I'm not that weak enough...
for you to worry about me.
Call So Yu here...
and make her take care of Seo Jun around the clock.
I can't do that, sir.
What? Why not?
You can appoint her as his secretary again.
What if Seo Jun ends up fainting when he's all by himself?
Will you take responsibility?
I'll hire a professional caregiver.
Do you think I called you here...
because I don't know how to hire a professional caregiver?
We don't know what might happen to him.
So I'm telling you to let him be with the woman he likes.
I understand what you mean, sir.
But I'm telling you that it's not possible.
Why is that not possible?
So Yu got dispatched to the States,
and she's currently on a plane.
What?
Have you lost your mind?
How dare you send her abroad?
It's what Seo Jun wanted.
He said he wanted to get treatment without her knowing about it.
He's just trying to do what's best for his girlfriend.
Bring her back right now.
Your son is here.
Se Hyun?
Se Hyun, what brings you here at this hour?
So... So Yu.
What... What are you doing here?
You didn't go.
Goodness, I'm glad you're here.
Come here and sit down.
Where's the executive director? May I see him first?
Seo Jun just got an IV injection and fell asleep.
He needs to get some sleep.
I won't disturb him. I'll just check up on him.
Even if you keep pushing me away,
I'm going to keep being nice to you until the day I die.
So we have a lot of time.
I also found out about it today.
I can't believe...
there's no information about his illness on the web.
This is just unbelievable.
My dad asked you to come downstairs.
Se Hyun, you should go back to the office.
I'll go with So Yu once she comes down.
I need to cancel her dispatch.
You don't need to do that yourself.
The chairman has something to say to you.
Come here and sit down.
What do you plan to do now?
You must've had something in mind when you decided...
to return from the airport.
The only thing...
that went through my head was that I needed to see him.
What's the use of getting dispatched?
I'll provide for you for the rest of your life,
so you should quit work,
take care of Seo Jun,
and help our family continue on our family tree.
Sir.
Se Hyun, the chairman's talking. Don't interrupt.
So Yu doesn't deserve to be treated like this.
Se Hyun, it's none of your business.
This is our family issue.
So Yu, why don't you tell us what you think?
Are you sure you like Seo Jun enough...
for you to give up on your dispatch...
just because you heard that he's sick?
What's the point of asking her that?
The chairman's asking her to do something...
that's beyond our common sense.
What?
Are you saying I'm talking nonsense right now?
She's the one who approached Seo Jun for money.
So I'm willing to give her that.
She'll be able to get money,
and we'll be able to carry on our family tree.
What's so nonsensical about that?
What do you think? Am I wrong?
Why...
Why do you all talk as if you've given up on him?
No one's given up on him.
The chairman's just thinking about the worst case scenario...
That's something...
other people should think about.
His family should disregard any kind of possibility...
that something could go wrong.
I'm in a position where I must think about all the possibilities.
But sir, you're his father.
You should focus on keeping him alive.
Why are you getting ready to say goodbye to him?
I won't do what you asked...
even if you offer to give me your entire fortune.
So please don't ever say anything like that again.
Hey.
What's she trying to imply?
Is she saying she's more worried about Seo Jun than I am?
How arrogant of her.
What time is it, Seo Hyung?
She promised to call once she arrived.
Can you increase the volume of my ringtone?
So Yu, what are you doing here?
What happened?
Why didn't you get on the plane?
Se Hyun told me...
that you're sick.
And I couldn't get on.
I guess Se Hyun was the one who told you.
Why did you have to make me hear it from someone else?
You're always so straightforward and honest.
So why...
I wanted to receive treatment while you were gone...
so that I could recover.
It's not too late. You should go tomorrow.
It's not like I'm getting surgery.
I just need to get injections and checkups.
It's not going to be hard at all.
So there's no need for you to stay by my side.
None of this is working, so don't bother wasting your energy.
What do you mean?
You're acting like you're fine.
That's because I am fine.
If you were really fine,
you would've asked me to stay.
You're normally not the type...
to lie and endure things all by yourself...
just for my sake.
You're being like this because you're not okay.
You're the one who asked me to separate them.
Did you forget that?
Do you really want Seo Jun and So Yu to hit things off?
Why did you lie and tell me...
that Seo Jun wanted to send So Yu abroad?
I already checked with Ms. Kang.
What?
I heard there were no plans to send anyone abroad.
But Ms. Kang made it happen because you asked her to.
Did you really have to do that to send her way?
Why do you hate So Yu so much?
She tried to come between us...
by making it seem like I was mentally ill.
But I still chose to believe you.
What if she starts seducing you...
now that she knows about Seo Jun's illness?
That's why you did that? Because you were worried about that?
You're bound to get swayed by her.
No, you're already getting swayed.
Am I wrong?
Why did you go all the way to the airport and bring her back?
If she parts with him like this,
she'll never be able to get over him.
What?
She needs to get a proper goodbye for us to start over again.
What?
Are you telling me that you're going to start over with So Yu?
Se... Se Hyun.
I did what you wanted me to do and became the chairman.
What more do you want?
This is only the beginning.
You need to protect this position.
There are tons of people who are trying to take you down.
You need to marry into a family that will help you keep your position.
Are you talking about Kang Han Na?
Yes.
You told me to marry someone I love and live a happy life.
But now, you want me to go through a marriage of convenience?
I brought Han Na to the company...
because I wanted to give you time to fall in love with her.
- Mom! - Don't yell at me!
Seo Jun isn't even dead yet,
but you're already thinking about taking his girl.
You may be my son, but I'm very disappointed in you.
You want me to dispatch someone else?
Choose someone else instead of So Yu.
That position never existed in the first place,
so you can just cancel it or talk about it with my mom.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm already dumbfounded at the fact...
that So Yu suddenly didn't go because of personal reasons.
But how did you know about that before I did...
when I'm her team manager?
Her mother already passed away, so that can't be why.
- Did her father pass away? - No.
Then did she suddenly become seriously ill?
It's a personal reason that I've already approved of.
- Then why not also tell me? - It's her privacy.
Then just tell her to hand in a letter of resignation.
- Ms. Kang. - It just makes no sense.
Have you never done anything that doesn't make sense...
just because your boss told you to do so?
No, I haven't.
I went to the airport myself and stopped her from going.
Are you happy now?
What if I end up with nothing after I give all my shares...
to Ko Myung Shim?
No, that's too dangerous.
But if I refuse to give her my shares,
she'll say we should go our separate ways.
My gosh.
Sir. Sir.
So Yu was at the airport, but she...
What's this supposed to mean?
It's the typical stuff that happens in romantic comedies.
Right when the woman is about to enter the departure gate...
"Don't go."
"You're my one and only love."
Then, the guy suddenly hugs her.
Hey, do you even know...
what's on my mind right now?
How can you be talking about romantic comedies?
This is a huge scandal that will help you get rid...
of what's in your head, sir.
A huge scandal?
You're saying Seo Jun stopped So Yu from leaving.
How is that a scandal?
It was already predicted.
He wasn't the one who stopped So Yu from leaving.
What? Then who was it?
Hong Se Hyun.
What?
Se Hyun went all the way to the airport...
and stopped So Yu from leaving?
Ms. Kang is apparently really upset about that right now.
Hong Baek Hee must be furious.
The mother and son will slowly start falling apart.
Their internal conflict is our chance to get back at them.
We can add some stories and start a rumor about Se Hyun and So Yu.
And you just need to convince your ex-wife...
and make her confess that she fell for Ms. Hong's tricks...
because she wanted to get you back.
You just need to make her testify that.
My goodness, I'm sorry. You really have a shot at this, sir.
- Really? - Yes.
Have my car ready.
What do you want? What more do you have left to say to me?
Gosh, you're drinking at this time of day?
If you're going to live like this, just go back to the States.
Why would you pay to live in a hotel just so you could live like this?
My gosh, seriously.
I'm sure you're not here to check up on how your ex-wife is doing.
- Just get to the point. - You told me...
that you want to live in Vancouver, right?
What?
Yes.
Why? Are you going to get me a house?
You'll get a lot more if you agree to cooperate.
What do you want me to do?
I want you to tell the board members that you lied...
because you got fooled by Hong Baek Hee's tricks.
I never lied.
Every person that cooperated with Hong Baek Hee...
always ended up getting their lives destroyed.
Do you remember your dad's business partner, Mr. Dong?
Yes.
He betrayed your dad...
because Hong Baek Hee convinced him to.
But in the end, he became completely broke.
My gosh.
And he ended up committing suicide.
Wait.
Are you saying Mr. Dong betrayed my dad because of Hong Baek Hee?
Didn't you know that LX Group took over your dad's company?
Hey, I heard that happened because of you.
What? Me?
Do you think I'm crazy?
Your dad cared for me so much. Why would I do something like that?
I heard it was because you wanted to become LX Group's son-in-law.
Did Hong Baek Hee tell you that?
I can't believe she would say that to you.
Well, she's wrong. I can guarantee that.
I'll show you evidence to prove that Mr. Dong...
received LX Group's shares from Hong Baek Hee.
My secretary is the best when it comes to searching information.
He won't take too long.
Can a guy get some sleep?
What is wrong with you people?
Why are you being so loud?
My gosh.
What...
Ms. Do.
Yes?
I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like to eat here.
Can you also prepare some food for So Yu?
Okay, sure.
Sit down.
I can eat later.
This is why I wanted to send you abroad.
What do you mean?
Because I didn't want you to treat me like a patient.
If you're going to act like a caregiver,
I'm not going to see you until I fully recover.
Then how exactly do you want me to treat you?
Treat me like a boyfriend.
A boyfriend?
I want you to be excited when you see me.
We can go eat delicious foods...
and watch fun movies.
And when I become sick,
I want you to treat me like I have a cold,
trust that I'll get better,
and wait until I do.
That's how I want you to treat me.
Are you okay with dumpling soup?
Yes, thank you.
- Just wait a little bit. - Okay.
You have nothing to do while you wait, right?
No, not really.
Then feed me.
But you told me not to treat you like a patient.
You acted all cool just now.
Why do you suddenly want me to feed you?
If you feed me in bed, that would be treating me like a patient.
But if you feed me here, it'd be more like showing affection.
Something like this?
Yes, that's it.
- Like this? - Yes, like that.
Do you really think I'd do that?
No.
Jin Bok always does this.
Now that he proposed,
we should be talking about the wedding now.
But he hasn't called ever since.
You're right.
He seemed really eager to marry you that day.
Mi Ri, did the chairman propose to you?
Why are you sitting down? You should be working.
Do you know how many customers we had in the morning?
This is our first time sitting down today.
What?
How dare you talk to me like I'm your friend? I'm the owner.
Look at him acting like he's all that when he just got lucky.
My goodness.
Goodness, are you talking about Tae Bok right now?
He's a legitimate owner who paid every penny for this store.
What do you mean he got lucky?
They're the ones who acted like owners...
when they didn't even invest a single penny.
How did you find out?
Your names weren't on the contract when Tae Bok took over.
How was the proposal?
Did he rent out an entire coffee shop?
Or an amusement park?
Or was it at the ice rink again?
Did he propose on a yacht?
It was a beautiful proposal that could never amount to any of that.
Gosh, I'm about to cry again.
Me too, Mi Ri. I've come to truly respect the chairman.
Was it that amazing?
It even made you cry and respect him?
Does that mean you're going to get ready for the wedding?
- That's not good. - Why?
His son needs to get married first.
Seo Jun and So Yu?
Oh, right They can't be the ones getting married first.
I shouldn't be here waiting for things to happen.
Move.
- Follow me. - Me?
Start cleaning.
- What? - Clean.
Ms. Do, can I have another bowl of porridge?
You're even having two bowls of porridge?
Did you start eating two servings of black bean noodles...
ever since you were five?
- How did you know? - Are you serious?
It's Ms. Jang Mi Ri, sir.
Mi Ri's here?
Jin Bok.
- Put that here. - Okay.
What's this?
We borrowed a wedding dress catalog from a bridal shop.
You're here.
Seo Jun, I didn't know you were home.
This is great. Can you help me pick a wedding dress?
Hello.
So Yu?
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on a plane?
Yes, he's right.
Chae Young was really down because you were gone.
Something came up.
Something came up? What was it?
What was it that made you come back...
when you should be on a plane right now?
Are you guys...
getting married?
Did Seo Jun follow you to the airport...
and propose to you? Is that what happened?
Did you stand on the landing strip and stop the plane from flying?
I heard rich people have the power to stop planes and stuff.
Will you stop talking?
Mi Ri, can I have a word with you?
Come on.
He could just talk to me here. Why is he taking me to his room?
I'm sorry.
But I can't marry you.
Jin Bok, are you playing hard to get again?
Why would you play hard to get after proposing to me?
Why did you even propose to me in the first place?
Seo Jun...
told me that it was his wish.
What?
You put on an act just so you could grant Seo Jun his wish?
It wasn't an act. I meant every word.
But it's just not the right time for me to get married.
It's not like I'm asking for a royal wedding.
I just want to wear a wedding dress because I never got to wear one.
Is that so hard to do for me?
Why do you keep going back and forth?
How can you keep playing with my heart like this?
Jin Bok, are you crying?
Do you have involutional depression?
Please...
keep this a secret, okay?
That you have involutional depression?
If you have andropause at your age,
you should think of it as rejuvenation.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Then what is it?
Seo Jun...
won't be able to live for very long.
Gosh, what in the world are you...
What? He's...
He's going to die?
Does he have cancer?
It's a rare illness.
Apparently,
there's no treatment. There's no way he can get better.
My goodness.
Goodness, poor Seo Jun.
My gosh.
Gosh, I feel so sorry for him.
My goodness.
Seo Jun. My goodness.
We really need to push ahead with their wedding.
You're not a bulldozer. Why do you keep wanting to do that?
Dad needs someone by his side.
Seo Jun.
Seo Jun, my goodness. This is unbelievable.
Are you sure it wasn't a misdiagnosis?
You look completely fine. How can you be sick?
Seo Jun, we should go to the hospital together.
I know a good doctor.
You should get another checkup.
Goodness, Mi Ri. Don't do this.
Don't do what?
How can an illness be incurable in this day and age?
We're looking for a solution.
Then why is he here?
He should be at a hospital.
A research center in Switzerland is trying to develop a cure.
A research center in Switzerland? What are you talking about?
Well, we found a research center that once stopped their research...
because they didn't have enough research expenses.
So we decided to support them with that.
The doctor didn't tell me anything when he came by earlier.
We wanted to tell you when things became more definite.
Who told you that?
Are you sure you didn't get scammed?
Yes, there are places that scam people with stuff like this.
Ms. Hong isn't someone who would get scammed.
- Ms. Hong? - Yes.
(Gangnam Scandal)
Are you saying she lied to me and blamed everything on you?
I want you to record a video that I can show...
- to the board members. - A video?
Do you think you can turn the tables around?
I will make sure Hong Baek Hee and Hong Se Hyun get kicked out.
I can't trust Ms. Hong.
Are you going to ask Se Hyun for help?
I'm sure he'll help.
Tell him that you're pregnant with Seo Jun's baby.
- Then I'll give him his treatment. - Ms. Hong.
That's your punishment for having coveted my son.
