(Episode 30)
Is something wrong?
No. Are you all done?
Yes. You should have some more food though.
I don't have much of an appetite.
Then shall we get going?
Yes.
What happened?
But the injury isn't serious, right?
Okay.
- It's all done. - Thank you.
My head hurts.
Mr. Choi!
Gosh, what happened?
I'm fine. It's just a mild contusion.
Where's Tak Se Hoon?
He's gone. He never showed up at Hongye Textile.
Who hit me?
- Could it be his accomplice? - Not sure.
First, check all the security footage from the area.
It's highly likely that he fled in a car or motorcycle.
If there are no security cameras,
look through all the dashcams in the cars parked in the area.
I will.
You probably think...
Jae Hyuk still has a lot to learn to be a good vice president,
but please help and guide him.
Of course, sir.
You should introduce yourself formally.
I should've done this sooner. I'm Han Jae Hyuk.
I'm aware that there were many unfavorable rumors about me...
during the years that I was away from the company.
I'll do my best and work hard for the company...
so that you can all put your worries to rest.
Please help and guide me.
He sure is your eldest son.
We trust that you'll do an excellent job.
We're totally counting on you.
Where were you?
You didn't go to the dinner with the board.
- I'm tired. - Were you...
with Hwang Yeon Su?
You're at it again?
Then why can't you tell me where you were?
That's not important now!
Min Hyuk.
Dad stopped caring about me the moment Jae Hyuk...
returned to the company.
He's moving quickly to make Jae Hyuk the official heir to the company.
Do you really think...
I can afford to be distracted in this situation?
It must've hurt his feelings so much.
Tae Seok is now making it obvious that he favors Jae Hyuk.
- Ma'am. - Things aren't looking good.
I need more power.
To provide Min Hyuk with the support that he needs,
I need more funds.
Have you found any companies worth investing in?
I'm actually compiling a list of companies...
that are worth investing in...
according to their growth potential and profitability.
Mom, working at the store must be tiring.
You said your back hurts too. You should just stay home.
I'm doing it because of my back pain.
The massage does wonders.
And it pays better than the little side jobs.
I may go blind if I keep on taking those manual jobs.
By the way, you worked this late without even having dinner?
It's so late.
Are you the only employee there or what?
I'll be even busier from now on.
- Even busier? - Yes.
I was chosen to participate in our new textile competition.
They're letting a part-timer partake in the competition?
The VP chose me. We're on the same team.
Really?
Does that mean Bigfoot has decided to fully support you?
Gosh, all my hard work that went into cooking for him is paying off.
Mom, please. It's not what you think.
Whatever.
- Mom. - Yes?
You and Mr. Get Out will participate in the competition together?
Ha Eun, you understand everything because you're so smart.
Mom, you have to win. You must come in first place.
Okay, I will.
Even if I get busier and have no time to play with you,
- please understand. - Okay, I will.
It's only a matter of time before you can turn your life around.
I mean, the VP of the company got your back.
I'm so grateful for J's help.
Him moving in with us was like hitting the jackpot.
Mom, please don't say things like that.
And he's no longer J. His real name is something else.
Really? What's his name?
- Han Jae Hyuk. - Han Jae Hyuk?
It's a good name. Why has he been using such a weird name instead?
I'm participating in a design competition with J?
Will I be able to do a good job?
- What were you thinking about? - You're getting in just now?
What's wrong? Are you worried about the competition?
I told you not to worry.
Do you doubt your abilities that much?
Or do you not trust my judgment...
for choosing you?
I'll trust you.
By the way, you were at work until this late?
My gosh, you smell like you've been drinking.
Just a little.
This is my first time seeing you come home after having drinks.
You're probably curious as to who I drank with.
I won't tell you though.
I'm not curious, and I won't even ask.
Now, you're back to your normal self.
What?
It seemed like you were trying to distance yourself from me,
and I was a little sad about it.
This is so much better.
- I'm home. - Hey, Ho Jin.
Hey, wait.
What is this? What happened to your head?
What happened?
Wait. Ho Jin!
- Hey. - Uncle Ho Jin!
Ha Eun.
- Did you have a good day? - Yes.
- Ho Jin is back. - Yes.
Gosh, what happened to your head?
Did you hurt yourself?
- It's nothing serious. - Come on. It looks pretty bad!
Gosh, what happened? Who did this to you?
I fell, that's all.
You should've been careful.
Thinking about the time when you hurt your head...
still makes my heart race even though it was years ago.
You hurt your head in the past?
Yes, some stuff happened.
Uncle Ho Jin, Mr. Get Out's real name is Han Jae Hyuk.
Really?
So it's not J?
Right.
Why did you introduce yourself as J instead of your real name?
Oh, he said he was in a bit of a situation.
Ha Eun, let's wash up and go to bed.
Ho Jin, did you get hurt while trying to catch Tak Se Hoon?
Yes. I lost him though.
Hey, don't push yourself too hard.
Be careful from now on, okay?
Yes, you should be careful.
Okay.
Is your head really okay?
I'm fine.
Ms. Song seems very worried.
I actually...
suffer from localized amnesia due to the head injury in the past.
What?
Don't worry.
It doesn't affect my day-to-day life at all.
I even became a prosecutor.
- Oh, I see. - But I'm curious.
I don't know what your story is,
but are you going to keep living here?
I'm sure your family has a nice house.
Shouldn't you move back home?
I'd like to stay here if you're okay with it.
Se Hoon.
I told you to leave the country. Why are you still here?
Do you know I helped you get away when you could've been caught?
What? You're banned from leaving the country?
Then please go hide somewhere in the countryside.
The soup tastes good, right?
You went out for drinks with the board members last night.
I made soybean paste soup with snails for your hangover.
Yes, it's good.
Min Hyuk.
The reason I only took Jae Hyuk to the gathering...
- with the board members... - I know.
You wanted Jae Hyuk to meet everyone because he was away for a long time.
Of course, you did the right thing.
Thanks for understanding. I feel much better now.
Jae Hyuk is back now,
so you should take it easy.
You need to take care of your health.
Is the preparation for the competition coming along well?
Yes, I've been preparing to develop a new fabric for a long time,
so I'm confident that I'll do well.
I'll develop something that can compete on the world stage.
Good. I'll look forward to seeing it.
I'll look forward to it too.
Okay.
As they say, clothes make the man.
You look dashing, President Han.
I'm not the president of the company.
I'm going to call you however I want.
President is just one step up anyway.
Mom, what about me?
Son, you always look dashing.
Wherever you two go, you always put other men to shame.
Absolutely. The men in this family are so good-looking.
But we, the ladies, are pretty good-looking too.
Right, So Won?
Yes, of course. We're pretty.
We sure are.
Mom, me too.
Gosh, of course. Ha Eun, you're the prettiest girl in the world.
Gosh, the sun will go down at this rate. Get going.
Go and earn a lot of money.
Mr. Han, why don't we take my car? So Won, join us.
It's okay. I'll just take the bus.
I prefer taking the bus too.
Really?
My cutie-pie prosecutor isn't headed the same way, so he can't join me.
- I'll go by myself, then. - All right.
- I'm off too. - Okay, have a good day.
Bye.
See you later.
- Let's go. - Okay.
See you later, Mom.
- Have a good day. - You too.
- Come home early! - Okay!
Let's go back inside. It's cold.
- Aren't you coming? - Sorry?
You get going first.
Let's go separately.
Why?
Going to work with you makes me a little uncomfortable.
Why? I like it. It's boring to go alone.
I said, it makes me uncomfortable.
Come on. Let's just go together. I'll take care of your bus fare.
Goodness.
- Come on. - Wait.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
Come in.
What is this?
Chairman Han had asked me to get it ready for you, sir.
I don't need this, Dad.
Just take it.
Your lifestyle should befit your position as the VP of the company.
It'll be useful for the work that you need to do.
If I need something, I'll get it myself.
Can't you just see it...
as an expression of how much I care about you?
If you can't do that,
just think that it's from the company, not me.
Never forget...
that you're the face of the company before you're Han Jae Hyuk.
You shouldn't keep your old ways.
(Acupressure Bed Imperial Double)
This one seems like...
the best company to invest in.
(3H Acupressure Beds)
Look who's here. What a bad start to the day.
- What are you doing here? - I work here.
You work here?
That's right. Do you have a problem with that?
Oh, right.
About J, who lives at my house...
You must know that he's now the VP of Noyu.
That doesn't have anything to do with you.
It sure does.
J has been taking such great care of So Won.
He even chose to team up with her for the competition.
They're on the same team?
It sounds like he's trying his best to lose.
Watch what you say.
You see, we even have a crocodile bag at our place now.
So you'd better not act up.
What? "You'd better not act up"?
- Hey! - What?
Ma'am, are you the one who called about investing in our business?
Noyu Group chairman's wife, right?
Yes.
What do you consider when you hire your employees?
Pardon me? Is there a problem?
This lady treats customers so horribly.
That can't be. She's very good at her job.
She sold 5 beds in 2 days.
Could you spare me a moment?
Of course. This way, please.
It's quite amazing that she's still obnoxious as ever.
The competition is on.
Team 1 and Team 2.
Work hard with your teammates.
- Okay. - Okay.
I can't wait to see what you guys will produce for the competition.
I'll be neutral no matter what,
so don't bribe me to win points with me...
just because I'm one of the judges.
You can't win me over with things like that.
Yoon Jin.
You and I should go to the factory and check the second batch.
Sure.
This tells us...
that mulberry tree bark paper...
and natural linen are the two main materials.
And due to the unique braided structure of the thread,
we already know how it should be manufactured.
So we'll need the hyper cooling system for the cooling effect.
In other words, you want to add an immediate cooling effect.
Yes, correct.
With Noyu's N-tex two technology...
and some of the information that I have,
we can restore the cooling effect.
The problem is the antimicrobial effect.
Antimicrobial effect...
We should ask the lab.
I'll do some research as well.
So Won, how do you know so much about fabrics?
I actually...
I've always been very interested in textiles since I was little.
Soo Ho, please summarize and organize everything in this...
per each year. Right away.
Sure, no problem.
For the time being, we shouldn't tell Soo Ho...
about the fabric technology I developed.
All right. I won't say anything until you can prove it yourself...
by successfully developing this fabric.
But it'd be even better if Tak Se Hoon got caught before that.
Okay.
Right. I got a textile expert on board.
It's Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim?
- Is it that man from... - That's right.
He's been specializing in natural dyes...
and yarn manufacturing for many years.
- I'll visit him later today. - Then let's go together.
These are our R and D reports.
Using the hyper cooling system...
with paper mulberry fibers and natural linen would be the best,
but it still needs improvement.
Have you tried the PCM method?
Yes, of course.
It's important for producing the cooling effect.
We need to remedy its weaknesses,
but we don't have much time.
Team One can view these reports and information too, right?
Yes.
The team that comes up with a solution...
that can remedy the rest will be the winner.
If I had the technology I tried to buy in the past,
we'd win this competition without a doubt.
The technology you tried to buy in the past?
What is it?
The one developed by the fabric shop owner at Dongdaemun Market?
Correct.
Regardless, we should still do our very best.
- Yes. - Yes.
Gosh, it's the VP. They come to work together every day.
Wait, he's the new vice president?
Yes. Why is he with that part-timer though?
He's the new VP.
I have to say, he's really handsome.
But I heard that woman beside him is a part-timer.
She's participating in the competition too. Unbelievable.
Did he have no one to team up with or what?
- Are you sure that's her? - No way. Are you sure?
- Yes, it's her. - Seriously, it's crazy.
Jae Hyuk.
I guess you're going somewhere.
We have to meet someone for the fabric we're developing.
Same here.
Best of luck, So Won.
Thank you. You too.
Let's go.
- We should get going too. - Wait.
Let's do these things separately from now on.
Why?
I'm worried about what others might think.
I understand,
but we live and work together,
so it'd be nonsensical to do everything separately.
That's just so inefficient.
I know that too,
but please be considerate of my position.
Let's only think about the competition now.
We don't have time to worry about others.
It's easier said than done.
You're too high up to be going to these places...
with a mere part-timer.
The fact that we're a team comes first.
And teammates should do these things together.
Have we met before? You look familiar.
He came here with me many years ago to buy fabrics from you,
and we even dyed fabrics together.
- It's been a long time. - Yes, that's right!
The kimchi noodles! Yes, I remember you.
By the way, how come you two are here again together?
He's the vice president of the company.
What? Vice president?
I guess you two were meant to cross paths again.
So you guys first met back then...
and met again as a superior and employee at work?
My gosh, what a coincidence.
- On top of that, we live together. - What?
- What does that mean? - No, no.
He's renting a room at my family's house.
I see. What?
Didn't you say back then that you're married?
Are you back to being single now?
- Yes. - Same here!
Nice to meet you again!
By the way, what brings you here?
As for the fabric development, I've been asking around as well.
There will be a new textile competition at work.
"New textile"?
Yes. That being said, I think we need to expedite...
restoration of the technology I told you about.
Expedite it?
Gosh, that will be hard with the system we have now.
I can provide you with the support that you need...
if we can produce something that's on par with Y-tex.
Then it's a different story.
I can call more people up and put them to work.
When is the competition?
About the person we met...
I don't really think we can call him a textile expert.
He doesn't develop anything new.
He just combines existing technologies and sells them.
I know.
People exaggerate what they can do on their websites and blogs,
so it's disappointing to meet them in person.
And Celliant...
is made by embedding a mineral matrix into a yarn.
But it's entirely imported, so it's expensive.
It doesn't go with our concept either.
I should've met with Tak Se Hoon and struck a deal with him.
- Tak Se Hoon? - Yes.
He bought the fabric technology I tried to buy years ago.
He's the CEO of one of JB Apparel's subcontractors.
Don't you know him too?
Yes, I do know him. I met him for work in the past.
I was supposed to meet him, but he disappeared. I can't reach him.
If you hear from him,
tell him that I really want to meet him.
Okay.
- So you'd like to mix the rice? - Yes, you can leave it here.
Is that good?
Yes, I ate like this often when I was little.
Back then, we mixed everything together...
to make sure we had enough food to feed our big family.
But now, I eat this because it tastes good.
They say your memories are what makes food more delicious.
This is the taste. Would you like to try it?
No, thank you.
Try it. It's really good.
- It is good. - Right?
I'll make it for you too.
I've always wanted to try that.
- Let's just go. - Wait, I want to try it.
Just buy it.
I want to claw it with my own hands. That's what makes it fun.
I'll get you one.
All right. Which one shall I pick?
How about the kitty?
Move it to the back and...
There!
I think I got it.
Oh, no!
- Too bad. - It was so close!
All right, here I go again. I'll get the goblin this time.
Be careful.
I could've totally done it. It's not easy.
- Ms. Hwang, let me try. - Okay.
Which one will you try to pick up?
- This one. - Okay.
Okay, go!
Mr. Han, I want that one.
- Get me that one. - This one?
Yes.
- Gosh. - My gosh! I think you got it!
To the left. And down. Okay!
I think you got it this time.
You got this!
You did it!
- Here you go. - Thank you.
We could've bought three more with all that money.
But we now have this memory.
- Are you that happy? - Yes, I'm so happy.
I'll give you this so that you can remember this moment.
What?
Hello?
What?
Okay, I'll come now.
Answer my question.
We checked the dashcams in the cars that were parked...
and confirmed the detective agency's vehicle.
We even have your composite sketch.
I told you I know nothing about it.
Do you know...
that assaulting a prosecutor is considered a serious offence?
Shall I investigate every illegal deed your agency has done...
and lock you up for good?
Who put you up to it?
Who ordered you to help Tak Se Hoon get away?
(Han Min Hyuk, Director of Strategy)
I'll give you this so that you can remember this moment.
Hey, Ho Jin.
I'm in front of the Noyu building. Come out for a second.
You're here?
- But I'm busy at the moment. - I have something to tell you.
- What is it about? - You'll find out.
Ho Jin.
Why did you do that?
What? What are you talking about?
You stole the technology,
didn't you?
(Bad Love)
Why is this place so expensive?
I'm keeping the promise I made five years ago.
I said I'd take you out for food if we met again.
- I know why you did it. - What are you talking about?
Will you tell the truth if I interrogate you in front of him?
I'll confess. It's true, Ho Jin.
Please, Ho Jin.
Ms. Hwang, is something wrong? Did you cry?
I've tried all sorts of things, but it's not working.
It's missing oak leaves.
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
When I'm with you, I keep thinking that I'm not good enough.
Why do you think that?
I keep feeling miserable.
