Hold on, what am I supposed to do with him?
It's best to keep him close and get back what I can, right?
If I leave him be, who knows what he'll do next.
Mister Cho...
Please call me first if he comes or contacts you.
Goodness, I don't know...
Mi-ran, I looked too far when the real witnesses are so close.
What is it?
Mi-ran.
What?
The thing is, Mi-ran...
'Hold on, if she finds out, she'll make sure he leaves forever.'
'Then I'll never see him again...'
What do you want for dinner? Anything you're craving?
Geez, why did she yell at me if she's just gonna hang up?
Na-ri, I'm going out for a bit.
- Bye, Grandma. - Bye.
Hold up... Why are you here...?
Where's Mister Cho?
You actually came.
Why are you here, Ga-eun?
Please sit.
You're here to meet Mi-ran's stepfather, right?
How did you know...?
No, why would I meet with him?
I don't even know where that jerk is.
Is that so? Then who did you come to meet?
Uh, a friend. So why are you here?
I'm here to see you. Mi-ran's stepfather said you'd be here.
Did that jerk contact you?
Why would he contact you? He wouldn't, unless he was crazy...
Ga-eun, I should get going. Something came up...
Aren't you curious what he told me?
What? He said something to you?
He did.
What did he say? What did you hear from him?
You don't know where he is, do you?
Of course I don't know.
It looked like he wasn't doing too well.
Oh-oh, so you really did meet with him.
I did. And he told me something really unbelievable.
L-like what?
Did you really do it? Did you leak my designs?
What? That's crazy.
Did Mister Cho say that?
Yes. He said he didn't do a thing and it was all you and Mi-ran.
What? I can't believe this.
He really said that Mi-ran and I sold your designs, did he?
Yes, and we'll find out the truth when the police questions both sides.
Wait, wait. What do you mean the police?
It's not true. I didn't do it.
Mister Cho conspired with a fellow prisonmate.
I don't have the connections to pull that off.
It's ridiculous, I tell you.
- You telling the truth? - Of course I am.
Mister Cho did it all on his own.
Mi-ran and I had nothing to do with it.
And you're speaking the truth now?
It wasn't you. It was all Cho Yong-gab.
For sure. Just believe me.
Mister Cho is a regular con artist.
Would you rather believe a con artist or me?
Where did he get instructions for the samples?
Huh? That's...
- Did Mi-ran give them to him? - What? No!
Then?
I don't know about that.
Mister Cho probably stole them from somewhere.
You're not making any sense.
You say did it yet you don't know where he got the instructions.
Where is that jerk?
I'm gonna teach him a lesson when I see him.
I even cried for him because I felt pity for him.
So how dare he sell me out? I can't believe this.
Where the hell is he?
How would I know?
Wait, you didn't...
Thank you for the confession.
Mister Cho did it all on his own.
Mi-ran and I had nothing to do with it.
'It's becoming more definite that you're behind this, Mi-ran.'
'Just wait a bit longer.'
'Soon I'll be able to tell the world what you did.'
Since you treated me today, I'll treat you next time.
Sounds good.
But it seems to be that you hate indebting yourself to others.
Aren't you being too clear-cut?
I guess I am.
But what I offer is too meager compared to what you've done for me.
No, that's not true.
I enjoyed the rice wine as well as the blood sausage soup.
To be more honest, I enjoyed them so much that I want to go back.
Really?
I thought you were being polite when you said everything was good.
Of course not. I don't give empty compliments.
What a relief it is to hear that.
Before I met you, I thought I had done everything that I wanted.
But turns out there's a lot I haven't done yet.
What haven't you done?
Well, there's so many, I can't list them now.
Sir, want to go somewhere interesting with me?
Remember going on treasure hunts as a kid?
I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt whenever I come here.
The prices are cheap but sometimes you find a real good buy.
How's this? It looks good.
I found my treasure.
How's this for your treasure?
Looks good to me.
Do you like corn dogs? Here, try some.
Yum, it's good.
Why aren't you eating? Take a bite.
Okay.
Is it good?
Yeah.
- Have a seat here. - Okay.
Man, it's hot.
Excuse me, can we get something cold to drink?
What's wrong?
Is this a place for young people? Is there an age limit?
Sir, everything's self-service here.
Oh, I forgot.
I'll go buy the drinks.
Not gonna give me the shirt you bought for me?
What shirt? I don't understand.
You held up the shirt to me and stuff. Thought you were buying it for me.
Well...
I should head in now. Thank you for a fun day.
No problem. This is where you live?
Yes.
Go in then.
Things have really gone south after Chairman Yoo's death.
If she wanted her job back, she would've said something to me.
Hey, Secretary Yoon. Look for a nice house.
That's right. For 3 people.
Hi, Ga-eun. Have you been well?
You're not sick or anything, are you?
'Dad, please don't let Jae-bum feel any pain.'
'Please don't let him get hurt.'
Manager Maeng, did you advertise that we have an MD position open?
Yes, a few days ago.
Good.
It's time for the meeting. Why isn't President Park here?
Hello, President Park.
You wish to discuss something with me?
Hello, Jung-woo. You need to talk to me?
Please excuse me, but this is more important than the meeting.
What's this about?
Please have some coffee and wait. She'll be here soon.
Who will? Is someone else coming?
Yes. I asked someone important to join us.
I thought the three of us should discuss this matter together.
Mom. Mom, Mom!
Where's the fire, huh?
Mom, I think I'm gonna get a job.
What? Are you serious?
That's the best news all week. Where?
The thing is... at Dream Star.
Dream Star's your sister's old work. You got a job there?
No, not yet but I'm gonna try for the MD position.
What?
I'm not happy about working with Mi-ran and Jung-woo,
but I'd also be working with Director Ha and Seo-jin.
If I get the job, I can work on taming Seo-jin.
Aren't you counting your chickens before they hatch?
Don't worry, Mom.
If I make up my mind to go, of course they'll welcome me.
I gotta hand it to you. You've got quite a bit of confidence.
You're taking this opportunity to say that you want to recruit Ga-eun?
Yes.
If she says she'll come to Star, you'll have to back off.
I'm saying this because you haven't processed her resignation.
Ga-eun, make it clear where you plan to work.
We can't wait for you forever, and Dream Star isn't letting you go.
They're chaining you down without letting you come back to work.
Ga-eun.
I'm not going to process your resignation.
I'll always have a spot open for you.
Don't worry.
Director Ha, please process my resignation.
You're holding onto my letter in hopes that I'll return when the culprit is caught,
but my resignation is a separate matter.
- Ga-eun. - Process my resignation.
I have to start looking for another job, don't I?
What are you saying? You don't mean...
You're not going to work with Star Fashion, are you?
I am.
Jung-woo, I'm lacking in many ways but I'll work here if you accept me.
Good. Thanks, Ga-eun.
Now that you know what Ga-eun wants, please process her resignation.
'Jae-bum, I know how much this is hurting you.'
'But this is the only thing I can do to dissuade you.'
'I'm sorry, Jae-bum.'
HA JAE-BUM
Hello?
I'm in front of your house. Come out.
Director Ha.
I'll wait until you come out.
Don't do that. I'm not going out.
Shall I come in, then?
Get in.
Let's talk here.
Ga-eun.
I have to go back in. I have things to do.
I'm heading in if you have nothing to say.
Why are you doing this to me?
What did I do to you that was so wrong?
Don't be like this.
How can you say you'll work for Star Fashion?
You know the truth about Star Fashion.
They need my abilities.
Or are you just trying to avoid me?
Don't do that. You don't have to.
I'll do everything you want me to do.
I'll process your resignation if you want.
If you never want to see me again, I'll never show up again.
Is that what you want? Is that enough?
So please don't go to Star to get away from me.
Goodbye.
Ga-eun, there's no need to hurt yourself.
Is my presence so painful that you'd consider working for Star?
Then I'll never approach you ever again.
Is that good enough?
I'll give up.
I'll give up on you.
Oh my goodness, I had no idea Ga-eun would play such mind games.
Nothing will go wrong, right?
Well, I can just deny ever saying anything.
Wait, do I tell Mi-ran or not?
If I tell her, she'll probably scream her head off.
Hey, you're home.
Hi.
- Where's Jung-woo? - He's not home yet.
'If she finds out I met with Ga-eun, she might kick me out.'
'It's best if I just keep my mouth shut.'
'But what if something goes wrong?'
Um, Mi-ran.
- By chance... - What?
Did anyone come to see you today?
Who would come to see me?
Did your jerk boyfriend contact you?
No, he didn't call.
I was wondering if he called you.
Oh, I'm going crazy.
I'm sure nothing happened, right?
Oh, my poor heart.
Should I just come clean to Mi-ran?
What?
Why the guilty face? What were you sneaking this time?
What do you mean sneaking, huh?
Not like I'm always sneaking honey.
Why do you treat me like a troublemaker?
I'm a person with good morals, you know.
Good morals? Right...
That's a load of crap, if ever I heard any.
Anyway, I have my suspicions and need to ask you something.
What are you suspicious about now?
I'm fainthearted already as is.
Ever since you took over the kitchen, I feel our groceries haven't been lasting.
So I marked the sesame oil bottle.
Oh-oh-oh! The sesame oil?
Yup, the pure Korean one I get from my great aunt.
So spill the truth.
Where did you use a whole palm's worth?
Did you mix rice and veggies and pour in a bucketful?
That's amazing.
So I hit the bull's eye. I knew it.
Fine. Fine! So I ate the sesame oil.
Look, I'm already in a horrible mood.
Must you really be so stingy over a little sesame oil, huh?
Why are you yelling when you did wrong?
And it's not just the sesame oil. You ate the honey, too!
This is unbelievably depressing.
Look here, someday you could end up living with your daughter's family.
Stop acting like you're all that because you have a son.
That's a curse, if anything.
Why would I live with my daughter when I have a son?
Why not use your energy on getting Mi-ran to bear a son, huh?
A son?
Why's there no news of a child when they've been married a while now?
Instead of focusing on what's important, you're busy stealing food!
That's right...
If Mi-ran has a baby boy, it's game over for that old hag.
I'm glad you're not working so I can call you out anytime.
You're not busy these days, are you?
No matter how busy, I always have time for my dear friend.
I'm looking forward to finding out how you'll amuse me today.
Well...
I altered the treasure that I found in the marketplace.
I hope you like it.
Did you now? Let's see...
Is this the same shirt from last time?
I'm amazed by how talented you are.
The shirt was given a glorious rebirth through your hands.
What do you think? Do you like it?
I do.
It used to be just a common shirt, but now it's one-of-a-kind.
So please accept it and wear it.
I'm really touched that you'd make this for me.
I'm not very good.
Thank you. I like it very much.
Oh, welcome back.
I'm glad to see you. I was wondering when you'd come back.
Hello.
I'll cook a lot of good things. So stick around for dinner, okay?
Tell me what's going on in the world.
There he goes, overacting again.
Don't just stand there. Get us some tea.
Goodness, where are my manners? Right away.
Heh... feels a little strange.
Just leave it here.
Okay.
Jae-bum, did something happen?
No.
You have something to say?
No, sir.
Please process my resignation.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
I can't believe I'm drinking water to fill my empty stomach.
Ugh, I'm so hungry.
There are probably people everywhere, waiting to catch me.
I can't even call just anyone.
Oh, there's my honeybuns. Calling her is safe.
Though this'll ruin my rep just a little.
Hello, baby doll?
Did you already forget my voice?
Oh, you cute girl, you.
Yeah. Of course.
It feels like you can read me inside out.
What?
It's probably because we have a lot in common.
Does that mean we connect really well?
It sure does.
Tell me about your father.
Was his personality similar to mine?
My father...
It's fine. Go ahead and take it.
Excuse me.
Hey, Yu-mi.
What? He called you?
Okay.
Don't go, okay?
I'm sorry, but something came up and I have to leave.
Something urgent?
I'll have my chauffeur give you a ride.
No, thank you.
I'll see you next time.
Geez.
Cho Yong-gab has been found.
Take care of the matter like I instructed.
That's right.
