(It's My Life)
You don't know how nervous I was earlier today, right?
My lips were trembling.
My palms were sweaty. Everyone was looking at me.
I couldn't think clearly...
Do you know how lovely you are when you're chattering like that?
Where... Where was I?
Ahn Nam Jin speaking.
Nam Jin, it's me.
Jin Ah. Where are you now?
What happened?
Do you know how worried I was?
I called to ask a favor.
A favor?
What is it?
Can I borrow some money?
Money?
- How much? - Wait.
Ask her to meet you.
Right now?
Where?
Jin Ah, this is Seung Joo.
Let's meet. And then we can talk.
I'm sorry, but I don't want to.
We're friends.
Friends can tell each other everything.
I understand, so let's meet.
Where are you right now?
Are you going to hide again?
If you hide, do you think it will solve the problem?
I'll go to you.
Where do you want to meet?
(Episode 71)
How could he still be out this late at night?
He must be excited.
How would I compare myself to a 22-year-old...
when I have wrinkles around my eyes?
I will love you until the day I die.
Please accept my love.
You have nothing.
All you have is a sweet heart.
I was going to date you for that.
This is so annoying.
I feel betrayed.
My eyes will get puffy.
- Jin Ah. - Come on in, Jin Ah.
I'm glad you're here. Have a seat.
Wait a second.
Have some. It's lemon tea.
What happened?
Why did you leave suddenly?
You aren't...
It was Ms. Choi, wasn't it?
She told you to leave, didn't she?
No, it was my decision.
Ms. Choi wanted me to quit my job and stay at home if I have children,
so I left.
You should've told Si Woo.
Then Si Woo would've solved it.
Why would I?
Until when do I have to tiptoe around her and live in fear?
You have a point, but what about the baby?
You didn't have an abortion, did you?
Yes, I did.
Jin Ah.
It's hard enough to take care of myself.
I can't live as a single mom for the rest of my life.
This is unbelievable.
Even if it wasn't born, it had life.
How could you get an abortion just because you wanted to?
I won't give up my life for a baby that isn't born.
I'm here to tell you this.
I'm stronger than you think.
I'm going to launch a brand with my name...
and become happier than anyone else.
What about Si Woo?
Didn't you love him?
I loved him,
but not anymore.
Can you lend me some money?
I think I can manage with 30,000 dollars.
I'll work hard and pay you back with interest within three years.
I'll write a promissory note if you want me to.
All right, I'll wire it to you as soon as I can.
I should leave now.
Please keep it a secret that I was here today.
Please tell my mom...
that I was hired by a company in China.
It'll become a hassle if she reports me as missing.
I'll give you a ride.
It's okay, I'll go by myself.
I can't let you go alone this late at night.
I don't want you to know where I'm staying.
The phone I called you with was borrowed.
It's no use calling that number.
Don't you think you should meet Mr. Choi one last time?
Later. I'll meet him later.
- Wait. - Wait.
What should we do?
She said she wouldn't hurt herself,
so let's wish her the best from afar.
You must've had a drink again last night.
If he keeps going on like that, he might fall ill.
I'm worried about him too.
He lost so much weight in the past few days.
I never liked Jin Ah from the beginning.
Ms. Choi.
Jin Ah's mom keeps calling me...
asking if something bad happened to Jin Ah. What should I tell her?
Tell her honestly what happened.
"She had an abortion and left without saying anything."
"She and Si Woo are over now, so stop calling me."
Like this?
Then she'll come here right away and cause a scene while crying.
Would that be okay with you?
Tell her that Jin Ah was hired by a Chinese company, Mom.
Did you talk to Jin Ah, Nam Jin?
No.
Jin Ah will call her mother when she's pulled herself together.
So I just want her mother not to worry until then.
Right. Nam Jin, you should tell her mother.
Only then will Jin Ah's mom feel relieved.
Okay. I'll tell her.
Sir.
Hi. You're early.
I came in early because I was worried about you.
However, why are you looking messy when you'll confess your love today?
I'm a mess, right?
I'll clean up here, so go to a sauna.
And wear the nicest clothes you have.
Wear a suit. That would be nice.
Okay.
You didn't forget your lines, did you?
Practice them by saying them out loud 100 times.
100 times?
Practice until you won't stutter.
Okay?
Okay.
Why did you come in so early?
You didn't have breakfast, right?
Let's go out to have a quick bite.
I'm fine.
Don't worry about me, but Mr. Jang.
Yes? Go ahead.
Should I tell Jin Ah's mother what really happened...
and report Jin Ah missing?
If I report her missing, the police can trace her phone...
and check her bank account.
What are you going to do if you find her?
You'll only be heartbroken since she stopped loving you.
I don't believe it.
I'm sure she had her reasons.
I will ask her directly.
(Jin Ah's Mother)
Yes, Mother.
Is it true that Jin Ah was hired by a Chinese company?
If so, what will happen between you two?
When are you two going to get married?
Who told you that?
Nam Jin told me.
Nam Jin?
Why did you ask me to see you at such an early hour?
Where is Jin Ah?
How would I know that?
You know where she is. Why are you pretending you don't know?
You met her, didn't you?
Yes, I met her.
Last night, she stopped by Seung Joo's place.
She was close by. How could she do this?
She promised she won't have negative thoughts.
She said she'll work hard to launch her own brand.
Where is she now? What's her phone number?
Where is she staying?
I don't know.
She borrowed a phone to call me.
I offered her a ride, but she didn't want to tell where she was staying.
Why did Jin Ah do that?
I don't know that, but she looked very tired.
She said she'll meet you when she feels better.
So I think you should give her some time.
I'm sorry that I can't be of any help.
What about the baby?
Did she really have an abortion?
She said she did,
but I thought she could be lying for a moment.
Jin Ah used to hate sour food so much.
But she finished a whole cup of lemon tea last night.
It's 30,000 dollars.
Give him this money and make sure to get him sign the paper...
to confirm that he received it.
Well, it's not like I'm doing charity.
I'm doing your errands on my day off.
Shouldn't you pay me as well?
Take your cut from this money.
I need to pay the private detective too.
Can't you pay me 10,000 dollars more?
All right. I'll wire it to your account.
Good.
Make sure that the nurse won't tell anything.
Just trust me.
You see, people...
can become very discreet...
when they get money.
I'll get going now.
In the third round, we'll submit designs...
for women's, children's, and sports clothes.
We'll use bean and keto acid for children's clothes,
mugwort for women's clothes, and safflower seed for sports clothes.
So we're adding medicinal function to our clothes.
Compared to the 1st and 2nd rounds,
we'll have a lot more work to do.
I guess we will since we have to get involved in dyeing process too.
As for soybean fabric,
there's almost no manufacturer in Korea.
So we should be very careful.
Have you finished your designs?
Yes. I designed the women's clothes,
and Ms. Lee designed the children's and sports clothes.
Since we focused on the properties of the fabrics,
the designs are quite simple.
Okay. The production of the clothes for the third round...
should be handled by Mr. Lee.
Me?
Yes. Minhan can make the fabrics...
using mugwort and safflower seed.
But I think it's better to make soybean fabric in China.
Well, it's not a big deal. I'll give it a try.
All right. Due to the sales problem, we don't have much time left...
to prepare for the third round.
But if you all keep doing your work just as you have,
I believe we'll get a good result.
The meeting went on longer than I thought. Let's leave for the day.
- I'll leave too since I have plans. - Yes, sir.
- Okay. - Thank you, everyone.
- Thank you. - Let's go home.
Since it's a natural fabric, we might not get vivid colors.
Pay extra attention to this.
Color is a problem, but the fabric has rough texture...
and wrinkles easily. I don't know how to fix the problems.
I'll discuss with our supplier...
to adjust the blending ratio.
You've finished the design, right?
Yes. I've revised Jin Ah's design and sent it to you via e-mail.
Yeon Ji's design is very good.
She used calming color gradient. It's very unique.
Thank you.
You didn't design difficult clothes to make this time, right?
No, I didn't.
We have a tight deadline. Please make the samples right away.
Okay.
What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Choi?
No. I'm fine. That's it for today's meeting.
- Yes, sir. - Thank you.
- Hello? - Yeon Ji.
Come to Dae Sik's cafe right now.
I have no reason to go there.
We have a serious situation here.
Dae Sik is causing a commotion saying he'll kill himself.
He keeps telling us to bring you here.
What? Okay.
What's wrong with him? He should live with that young girl.
Why would he kill himself?
I guess he has a conscience, at least.
What's going on? Why is the light turned off?
My goodness.
Could he have been taken to a hospital?
There... There's a girl I like.
She has lovely dimples,
a bright smile,
and is very cute.
I will love you until the day I die.
Please accept my love.
Seo Yeon Ji.
Yeon Ji.
I saw a woman
Who was always smiling
The moment I saw her
I knew right away
If it's with you
Dae Sik, this is awesome.
You're like a rabbit and bear...
that look good together.
Why did you say that to Seon Hui yesterday?
That was a misunderstanding.
I was helping him practice, so he doesn't stutter today.
That's when you walked in.
Is that so?
You should've told me.
Then today's event wouldn't be a surprise.
So I held it back.
Yeon Ji, should we party now?
You need to put the ring on my finger before we party.
That's right.
It's pretty, isn't it?
I chose well, right?
It's pretty.
The nurse you were supposed to meet yesterday didn't come?
No, she pushed it back to this afternoon,
but something feels weird.
What do you mean?
The nurse and Bang Cheol Sang's sister...
went to nursing school together.
I'm afraid he got to her first.
- What time are you meeting her? - At 4pm.
I'll go with you.
I need to see her myself.
Okay.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Heo Chung San, the legal advisor for Hyunkang.
I see.
Why did you want to meet me?
Let's have a seat.
30 years ago early in the morning of August 19,
when Ahn Young Gyu and Kim So Young's son,
Ahn Nam Jin went missing,
I heard you were in charge of the newborn nursery.
Yes, but why?
You said you saw Nam Jin until 3am.
Is that right?
Yes, it is.
I told the police everything back then.
What would you like to know so many years later?
You weren't at your post after 3am.
Where did you go?
Well, the thing is...
I had a stomachache.
It must've been something I ate that day.
I had a stomachache and had to leave for a while.
Do you know Bang Cheol Sang?
No, I don't.
Is that so?
He's Bang Gyung Soon's brother.
Do you really not know him?
Oh, Gyung Soon's brother?
Why did you say you don't know him?
I don't know his name.
I just know him as Gyung Soon's brother.
Was Bang Cheol Sang at the hospital that day?
No, he wasn't.
That's weird.
Most people would say they don't know...
or that they didn't see him.
However, isn't it too conclusive to say he wasn't there?
It's a crime to help someone abduct a child.
Especially if you were the nurse in charge of the newborn nursery,
it's even worse.
What are you talking about?
Please call me if you remember anything.
I'll be waiting.
24 dollars plus...
19 dollars plus...
What are you doing?
I'm calculating the things I bought.
Now you look like a real secretary.
You're even calculating that.
I have no choice as the secretary of a stingy president.
Honestly, I liked your money...
more than you.
I'm sorry,
but now I love you way more than your money.
Is that true?
How am I supposed to believe that?
I'm telling you the truth.
When I use your credit card, it makes me happy for a minute,
but that's it.
However, you let me sleep on your arm...
and are sweet to me.
You have way more functions than a credit card.
I'm glad you realized that.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Bye. - See you tomorrow.
- Bye. - Bye.
Do you think...
we should order herbal medicine for Si Woo?
You're right. He looks like a total mess right now.
I was honestly surprised with Si Woo.
Why?
I thought he was a cold-blooded person,
but he is a total romantic.
That's because he's a warm and loving person,
but his mother raised him to be cold.
Children take after their parents...
and do as they see.
What did I do?
This is why people criticize old women.
Talking behind someone's back.
That's a huge problem.
People are supposed to even talk behind the king's back.
What's so bad about badmouthing someone?
How wicked does a mother-in-law-to-be have to be...
for a girl to get an abortion and run away?
Ms. Yang Sun Ja.
What, Ms. Choi Geum Soon?
That's enough.
I think you misunderstood, Ms. Choi.
Ms. Yang and I were just saying...
we should make Si Woo some herbal medicine.
That won't be necessary.
I'll make it for him if he needs it,
so don't even talk about him.
Why is she being so mean?
Would you like some coffee?
Yes, thank you.
Here you go.
Could I talk to you for a minute?
What? Oh, yes.
I didn't have a chance to apologize to you.
For what?
For a woman, it's a matter of her entire life.
Just for the shares and money,
I tried to force you to get engaged to me.
Also, I promised you that I would stop your father...
from marrying her,
but I didn't keep my promise.
And I used your uncle to get your father's shares.
I'm sorry for all of those.
Why are you being like this suddenly?
I think I'm being punished.
Because I took love and marriage lightly...
and treated you badly,
I think I'm in pain now.
I apologize...
sincerely.
Thank you for apologizing to me.
I will accept your apology.
My goodness. What's the matter?
Mr. Choi, are you feeling unwell?
Wait. Are you all right?
Oh, dear. My gosh. Mr. Choi.
Wake up.
(It's My Life)
- Did you look for Jin Ah all night? - Actually...
Jin Ah must've left because it was unbearable.
She must have left because you gave her such a hard time.
Could you give this to Ms. Choi?
Ms. Yoo, I'm sorry,
but could you buy some digestive pills for me?
They have many regular customers, so you can open it right away.
I see. I'll sign the contract now.
