What are you doing here?
Because I have something to say to Se Hyun.
He's not your friend.
Every time I heard you call his name,
I feel the urge to rip that tongue out of your mouth.
This isn't what you should be doing right now.
- You need to stop Se Hyun. - I said, stop calling his name!
Are you trying to ruin Se Hyun's life?
How dare you show up here?
Se Hyun's every move is being watched by the entire world.
So how dare you come here?
How dare you?
My gosh.
Let me go, Se Hyun.
What are you doing in front of this brat?
I'm relieved that I was able to help her at least once.
What?
You should go, So Yu.
Don't ever get involved with my mom again.
Why are you trying to take the blame for what your mom did?
I didn't do anything. It was all Choi Jin Bok's doing.
You're not helping your mom by doing that.
Shut your mouth!
You're the one who should shut your mouth.
Can't you see what your son is trying to do because of you?
How can you call yourself his mom?
What are you talking about?
What are you saying he's trying to do?
Can't you see that he's sacrificing himself...
so he can take the blame for all of your wrongdoings?
What?
He's trying to take the blame for all my wrongdoings?
Se Hyun.
It's not true, right?
She's just talking nonsense, right?
You should leave.
Se Hyun.
Will you stop calling him by his name?
Do you want to see me go nuts?
He just asked you to leave!
Se Hyun.
What was she talking about?
You don't need to worry.
She said you're planning to sacrifice yourself...
and take the blame for all my wrongdoings.
So how can I not worry?
What does she mean? Why would you take the blame?
Someone has to take responsibility for it anyway.
Jin Bok will take responsibility.
His signature is on every single document.
So don't worry.
You already saw all the documents signed or stamped...
with his signature of the legal seal.
That foolish old man.
I can't believe he sued you for embezzlement and malpractice...
without knowing that it'll only backfire on himself.
Don't worry about anything.
You just need to stay in this seat.
I'll get rid of everyone who tries to bring you down.
Don't worry.
Mom, it's nothing to be worried about.
Every businessman goes through a search and seizure.
Se Hyun didn't do anything wrong. It was the former chairman's doing.
Why would I delay the wedding when he did nothing wrong?
I'm going to stick to the schedule, so just keep that in mind.
Where are you coming from?
From the chairman's office.
Why did you go there?
Can we talk for a moment?
We're not really close enough to be chatting in a coffee shop.
So I thought the office would be better. Is that okay?
Yes.
I'm sure you weren't there to report to the chairman about work.
So why did you go there?
You don't have to answer me if you don't want to,
but I'm really bothered by you.
I'm planning to marry Se Hyun.
But you keep getting on my nerves.
You're someone...
that I don't want to come to my wedding.
That's exactly how I feel toward you.
Se Hyun...
I mean...
I'm worried that Chairman Hong might be getting ready...
to take the blame on behalf of his mother.
Why would you worry about him?
It's not because he's someone I've known ever since I was young.
So I feel no sense of guilt in front of you.
What?
He's like a brother to the man I love.
But he isn't able to come here right now.
So I wanted to do something on behalf of him.
Are you saying it was for Seo Jun, not Se Hyun?
Are you sure?
Pardon?
I asked if you're sure about that.
Yes.
What are you planning to do?
Your mom went nuts thinking that I was the one...
who sued you.
I asked Mr. Park to hand in the complaint.
What?
Are you saying you filed a complaint against yourself?
Why did you do that?
I figured that was the best thing to do...
in order to stop my mom.
If something bad happens to you,
your mom will lose her mind.
She had to go through it one day, so let's just hope she endures it.
Why are you taking things this far?
I could just...
proceed with your resignation and handle things quietly.
If you do that, my mom won't give up on LX.
Then what are you planning to do?
I made it seem like I was the one who embezzled the money...
that was supposed to be used for the cure.
So I'll end up taking responsibility for that.
The amount is huge.
You might end up going to jail.
I'm prepared for that.
It's also something my mom needs to go through.
How about you try to convince her...
to take responsibility herself?
My mom won't ever give up on LX even if she needs...
to sacrifice her own life for it.
I need to destroy myself in order to save my mom.
Sir.
But it's going to be so difficult.
Your parents must be worried.
Tell them that they don't need to be concerned.
Chairman Choi is responsible for everything, not Se Hyun.
The truth will come out soon,
so please tell them that they don't need to worry.
My parents understand.
But they are bothered by what our relatives might think.
So I've been thinking,
since we were planning to have a small wedding anyway,
I'd like to proceed with it before the investigation begins.
What do you think?
Your new house will need new interior design,
and we still have so many things we need to prepare.
You're already busy taking care of Se Hyun's business.
So I'll take care of all that.
I have a friend who's an interior designer.
Really?
Then tell the designer to send me the quotation.
That's not necessary.
What are you talking about?
You'll be living with my son there. Of course, I should pay.
Okay.
And what else do we need to do?
The wedding gifts. A watch and a ring would be nice.
Is there a specific design you've kept in mind?
I don't really know what young people like these days.
A good friend of mine is a jewelry designer.
So I'm thinking of asking her.
Then send me the quotation for that as well.
I feel sorry because it feels like I'm only paying money...
when you're the one doing all the work.
Don't feel sorry.
And you should start calling me "Han Na" instead of "Ms. Kang".
Han Na? My goodness.
If I call you that, you'll really feel like a daughter to me.
I never had a daughter,
so I've always wanted to be close with my daughter-in-law.
Gosh, I hate that.
She didn't give birth to me. Why would she want to be my mom?
Then should I start calling you "Mom"?
"Mom"? My goodness.
It's been so long since anyone's called me that.
Se Hyun stopped calling me that ever since he became mature.
Mom.
I'm so happy.
It consists of vegetables and fruits...
that will help him boost his immunity.
Ms. Do, what's inside this juice again?
Beetroot, lemon, carrot,
celery, cabbage, broccoli, and paprika.
I guess it won't taste very good.
Goodness, who eats this because of the taste?
Would you like some as well?
No, it's okay.
She's still a kid if you look at her behave like that.
She's been through way too much ever since she was young.
Young people welcome hardships.
It's better than having to suffer at an old age.
Suffer at an old age?
Why did you stare at me and sigh?
Are you saying I'm making you suffer at an old age?
My goodness.
Don't expect it to taste nice.
Just know that it was made out of love.
Why are you still here torturing me like this?
I can't go. I haven't even gotten to the best part of torturing you.
The best part of torturing me?
I'm going to sing a lullaby before I go.
How am I supposed to fall asleep as I listen to your lullaby?
I watched a video and learned...
how to make someone fall asleep in just five minutes.
I just need to speak slowly in the same tone.
If I repeat that again and again...
Hurry up and drink it.
Here.
This juice is sweet.
This juice is sweet. This juice is sweet.
Good.
Drink the rest.
I guess the chairman's going to be late.
I wonder if he's still talking to Se Hyun.
Me too.
You've been worried about it for a while now,
but I could tell that you were trying hard not to show it.
I could tell that you were worried as well.
Your dad's here. Come on.
It seems like Se Hyun's made up his mind.
I couldn't talk him out of it.
My goodness, what's that supposed to mean?
Did I hear it correctly?
Are you saying Se Hyun decided to go to jail...
on behalf of his mom?
Yes.
We need to stop him.
I told him that he should just resign...
and that I'll talk things out with his mom.
What did he say to that? Did he refuse?
He told me that his mom won't ever give up on LX...
and that he's the only one who can stop her.
So what is he planning to do?
Is he going to tell the police...
that he's responsible for everything that Ms. Hong did?
What if he goes to prison?
He's already prepared for that.
My gosh.
I've never seen a son like him.
Ms. Hong is so lucky to have such a filial son.
You can't call that luck.
She's even worse than an enemy. He can't even cut ties with her.
She's like a noose.
I feel so sorry for Se Hyun.
Me too. It's not like he asked for a mom like that.
I feel so sorry for him.
Why are you still at the store?
I cleaned up.
That indecent couple always pretends like they're cleaning.
But there's so much dust everywhere.
I want to fire them.
But that will give them more time to bother you guys at home,
so I won't do that.
I didn't know you were being considerate.
The more I get to know you, the more considerate and rich you are.
Now, you just need to be a little more charming.
I think Ms. Bang came out of her room. Bye.
What are you doing this time?
Nothing.
Then what are you hiding?
I'm not hiding anything.
What's this?
Are you stealing my cosmetics?
I wasn't stealing anything.
I was just borrowing because mine ran out.
Borrow, my foot.
No wonder my toner kept disappearing so quickly.
I told you to do nice deeds, but now you're even stealing?
What?
How dare you treat me like a thief?
Do I seem like a petty thief who'd steal something like this?
I caught you red handed.
I just borrowed it since we're living under the same roof.
How can you call that stealing?
I guess stealing cosmetics is nothing for you...
since you even stole someone else's husband.
What?
It's not like I stole your husband.
Why do you always treat me like an adulteress?
It's been ages already!
Even if that's the case,
it's still continuing to affect others.
What are you talking about?
Look at what you're doing right now.
You're making So Yu feel sorry toward her mom...
by being around her all the time like this.
On top of that, I even caught you stealing my cosmetics.
Are you trying to doll yourself up so you can cheat again?
How dare you, you brat?
- Get over here! - What's going on?
Hey!
- Hey, let go of her! Let go of her! - My gosh.
- Let her go. - Let me go.
This is not how you should be treating an adult.
If she's an adult, she should behave like one.
Do you seriously want me to hit you?
- Let me go. - Please hit me.
Then I'll be able to report you to the police.
Are you serious? You really are unbelievable.
- Let her go! Let her go! - Let's put an end to this today.
I'll teach this brat a lesson!
Will you please stop?
- Let her go. - Move.
We're not the ones who started it.
We weren't even doing anything.
She's the one who provoked us by saying we committed adultery!
What?
What are you going to do by staring at me like that?
What? Are you going to hit your own dad now?
He's like a terrible noose.
But Se Hyun's even willing to take the blame for someone like him.
What do I need to do?
What?
What... What are you talking about?
What do I need to do for you to come to your senses?
Should I let you guys live here and become homeless?
What? Do you really mean that?
Will you...
Will you please tell me what I need to do...
to end this vicious circle?
You keep saying we're a family,
but is there no way to end that relationship?
Is death the only way to end it?
Should I just die?
Will that make you come to your senses?
What is wrong with you guys?
Why are you both acting crazy?
Gosh, that brat.
Mom...
- The location is great. - Yes, sir.
You're all doing a great job.
Gosh, this is really...
Good work.
Goodness, look at you all laid back.
Don't you have a lot to prepare for the investigation?
- I'm surprised you're here. - Me too.
Everyone knows you had to go through a search and seizure.
So I don't get why you would come to the opening.
Me neither. Chairman Hong.
Secretary Woo...
- Thank you for your work. - Welcome, sir.
Is this what Ms. Eun designed...
for the collaboration with Woodroffe?
Yes.
You did a great job with both the display and design.
You're good at everything.
Thank you, sir.
I'd like to be the first one to buy something...
as a means to wish the best for this store.
Will that be okay?
My goodness, thank you, sir.
I'll buy something from the Woodroffe collaboration collection.
Okay, thank you.
I'd also like to buy everything on that side of the wall...
as a means to wish the best for the store.
Thank you.
- Please continue. - Okay, sir. This way.
We chose the location...
and intensity of the lights based on the designs.
Over here, we displayed matching looks for couples...
according to each age group.
And we designed this corner for the middle-aged...
by displaying outfits that look flashy but calm at the same time.
Great work.
You have to continue to stay strong like this.
Even if anything happens to me or Seo Jun,
don't be sad for too long.
I trust that you'll get back up...
and continue to walk your path.
Why did you suddenly make gimbap?
I just wanted to make some for you.
You like handmade gimbap.
I'm sorry I made you cook again by taking a nap.
Don't be sorry.
I owe you a lot.
No, you don't.
Here.
You really make the best gimbap.
Have some soup.
I can still hold a spoon.
Seo Jun.
Yes?
You saved me. You know that?
What do you mean I saved you?
To be honest, I didn't want to live anymore.
So I was getting ready to say goodbye.
I told Yoon Tae that he could take all my shares.
And I even bought gifts for my aunt.
Seo Kyung.
But that day,
you poured out the alcohol that was in my tumbler into a glass...
and told me that I need to show how much I'm suffering...
if I want people to know.
When you acknowledged what I was going through,
the bitterness...
I had deep down in my heart...
suddenly started to dissolve.
You don't know how much I cried that night.
Seo Jun, you saved my life.
So I'm going to do the same.
So...
stay strong, okay?
I wonder who's here.
Seo Jun, it's Se Hyun.
Se Hyun's here?
What brings you here at this hour?
I'm coming from the opening of the new store.
The store that So Yu was in charge of displaying?
Yes.
I've been trying hard to refrain from visiting you at work.
So I'm glad you're here.
Did you hear the news from the chairman?
Yes, I did. What are you planning to do?
I should take responsibility for stealing the company's money...
by acting like it was going to be used for the cure.
- You? - Yes.
Do you think Ms. Hong will stay still?
I made sure she won't be able to do anything.
It might be better for her to take responsibility herself.
Then she'll have to turn herself in,
but that will never happen.
What about you? How do you feel?
I hope someone volunteers for the clinical trial.
I guess you haven't heard.
What do you mean?
I volunteered to participate.
What?
The thing is, I even started having trouble moving my fingers.
So it was even scarier for me to wait.
And someone needed to volunteer anyway.
Did the chairman approve?
I told him that I'm going to proceed with it even if he doesn't approve.
Does So Yu know?
- Yes. - What did she say?
She told me...
that she'll respect my decision.
When will you start getting the treatment?
Soon.
You should get better soon so we can play basketball together.
You should practice a little. It's your chance to catch up.
When did I ever lose to you?
Seriously?
When did you ever win?
Okay, fine. I won't be easy on you next time.
If you were being easy on me, why were you so out of breath?
I was never like that.
You pant every time we have a match.
Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.
Let's bet something next time.
- Really? Deal. - Deal?
- Yes. - Okay.
Gosh, this lady really needs to make up her mind.
Why won't she answer my calls?
If she can't do it, she should just tell me.
Gosh, her stuff is still in her room.
Why is she being so stubborn?
My gosh, seriously.
Goodness, my arms, legs, and shoulders.
My entire body is aching.
How can you call yourself a mother?
Your daughter was outside all day, and she finally came home.
But you're not even looking at her.
Hi, Eun Byeol.
My body aches right now.
It's Mi Ri.
Why is she here? Don't open the door.
Father, what brings you all the way here?
- Hi. - Have a seat.
My goodness. Hello, Eun Byeol.
I need to talk to Seo Hyung in private, so go to your rooms.
What is it?
Tae Woong's our family too. You just upset him.
The cure for Seo Jun's clinical trial has arrived.
What? So is he really going to participate?
If his medical checkup comes out fine tomorrow,
they're going to start giving him the cure right away.
Will you please try to stop him? He won't listen to me.
What if something bad happens to him?
Don't say that. You're scaring me.
It's not like he can wait forever for the cure to get developed.
Do you think they have expiration dates?
Expiration dates?
Can't we delay it just a little bit?
How exactly are we going to do that?
- Wait. - Who are you going to call?
Doctor Kang, it's me.
You know Seo Jun will be getting a medical checkup tomorrow, right?
Tell him that something came up...
and that the treatment will have to get delayed.
Yes, tell him not to give him the cure until I give him permission.
Okay.
Don't look at me like that.
We're talking about my son's life.
I can lie a thousand times more if I need to.
Come in.
Are you ready?
Yes, almost.
Here.
There we go.
I'm good at unbuttoning stuff but not the opposite.
I should've worn an outfit with buttons to see how good you are.
You used to get angry whenever I said stuff like this.
But you're even worse than me now.
When?
Are you talking about before we went to the beach?
I stopped being coy after we came back from the beach.
You're seriously...
Seriously what?
Your attractiveness has increased by 5,000 points.
You have to tell Seo Jun the truth.
Don't you dare tell him.
I won't forgive you.
He doesn't even know that you schemed behind his back.
Don't you feel sorry about sending him to the hospital...
to get a medical checkup for the cure?
- Are you leaving now? - Yes.
I'll see you later.
Dad.
Yes?
Even if you disapprove,
I'm going to participate in the clinical trial.
So don't try to fight me.
We don't even have enough time to smile at each other.
Why would you waste time by putting on a face like that?
Okay.
I'll stay strong so that you won't end up...
regretting your decision.
- I'll see you when I get back. - Okay.
We'll be off now.
Bye.
(Daehan University Hospital)
Let me check a few things before you begin your medical checkup.
Just a second.
Yes, sir.
What?
He's not a child. He chose to do this himself.
I can't lie to him.
I don't care if he's the chairman or the president. I still can't lie.
Was that phone call about me?
(Gangnam Scandal)
You should've stopped when I showed you...
the recorder.
I won't let you go to jail.
Mom.
What did you say to Se Hyun to threaten him?
He said the only way to save his mom is to destroy himself.
He said the only way to save me is to destroy himself?
We can find out the truth by investigating your mother.
Why are you trying to take responsibility for everything?
Even if you investigate her, nothing will change.
