Cho Yong-gab has been found.
Take care of the matter like I instructed.
That's right.
Darling, want another bowl? You must've been real hungry.
Ah, no, no, I'm fine, baby doll.
I usually don't eat much but everything's so delicious when with you.
I didn't have much of an appetite these days.
What's going on? You look positively haggard.
Ah... you know how action-packed my life is.
Baby doll, you worried about me?
I was so worried when I couldn't reach you.
Are you sure nothing's going on?
There's a very small problem with an investment of mine.
But don't worry, it'll be cleared soon.
Baby doll, do you doubt my abilities?
I know you can do anything.
Speaking of which, are you still interested in investing in the massage parlor?
Oh, is that still on? Can I join in?
Of course.
Hey! What is this? What are you doing?
What the...!
Hey, look who it is. If it isn't Ga-eun.
It's been a while, sir.
Why would you come looking for me? And what's with the gangster approach?
I'll cut to the chase.
You're the one who leaked my designs, right?
Geez, of course not.
How would I be able to get a hold of your designs?
That makes no sense.
Well, that's the story Mi-ran's mother told me.
She said it was all you.
You must've heard wrong. There's no way...
Betty Jung loves me way too much to say something like that.
Ga-eun, I realize you feel victimized, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
Find your culprit elsewhere.
I guess I have no choice but to go to the police.
The police?
See, I have evidence that it was your doing.
Mister Cho did it all on his own.
Mi-ran and I had nothing to do with it.
Just believe me.
Mister Cho is a regular con artist.
Would you rather believe a con artist or me?
Wow, that was harsh of her.
How can she call me a con artist when I did it for her dau...
You realize if I take this to the police, you'll shoulder all the responsibility.
Ga-eun, this isn't fair. I wasn't the smarts behind the operation.
Exactly.
I know that Mi-ran gave you the sample instructions for my designs.
- You do? - I do.
You only followed her orders. Am I right?
So right!
I don't have the resources to sneak out the instructions without help.
The thought would've never occurred to me.
Mi-ran was the one who gave me orders.
How could she try to pin it on me? I can't believe it.
Fine, then give me proof that Mi-ran was behind it.
Then I'll make sure you're not punished for your part.
You want me to testify against her?
No, no, I can't do that.
I do have something that can prove her guilt.
Her mother's bankbook.
It's all there, the money she paid and what business received payment
Is that enough evidence?
How about this? I'll trade you the bankbook for some money.
I'm completely broke right now.
Hey, Yu-mi.
How'd it go?
I'll tell you in person.
Please drink this.
No, I'm fine.
Please drink it.
Oh no, oh no.
It's okay, I can get it dry cleaned.
It's not. I'm not okay with it.
This is terrible.
We need to get the stain out. What if it settles?
What the hell are they doing?
Hey, Park Jung-hee!
What are you two doing?
Come with me!
Why is that brat so steamed up?
Why does she keep showing up to interrupt us?
You should've gone to the bathroom instead of getting touchy-feely in public!
Are you such an easy, loose man?
Why are you always flirting with any ol' woman?
What in the world...?
You followed me into my office to fight?
And Park Jung-hee isn't just any old woman.
If she's not just anyone, what exactly is she to you?
Where's your loyalty to me? How could you!
Don't overreact.
She's an employee of our Dream Star store.
I can talk to our employees. Why are you bringing loyalty into this?
Because...
After all the years we've known each other, must you treat me like this?
We're friends.
I already told you I have no intention of being your friend.
What?
I can't believe this.
How can you embarrass me like this?
Fine.
Seo-jin, I was going to try for a job here, but I won't.
I'm turning my back on you so don't ever talk to me again, you hear?
Young-eun!
That temper of hers.
I mean it. I don't want to be friends with an interesting person like you.
I'd prefer to date you.
She's quite cute when she's jealous.
I must be out of my mind.
I can't believe I put this together for that rude jerk.
I'm so pissed.
It hasn't even been an hour since you walked out.
Gotta admit you're quick.
If you have something to say, make it quick. I'm busy.
Take this!
What are you doing?
I started the puzzle to show you that I don't heat up and cool so easily.
But I can't bear the injustice.
I feel so stupid for staying up for days to complete this puzzle for you.
Goodness.
Do you feel better after breaking apart your hard work?
No, I don't, but it does help me to end things with you.
Because I'll never do anything so foolish ever again.
Starting today, I'm setting aside you and my feelings for you.
We're strangers now.
Setting me aside? What am I, a pile of papers?
When did she do all this?
She just gets cuter and cuter.
This is really the end. You didn't even try to stop me.
Where have you been all day?
Thought you were preparing for the job interview.
I'm not gonna work there. I refuse to.
What?
Who is it?
Is this the home of Yoo Ga-eun?
Wait, what is all this?
I have orders to deliver them to Ms. Yoo Ga-eun.
Goodbye.
I see.
Wow, what is all this?
Marinated ribs, fruit, red ginseng and yellow corvinas.
Mom, we can live off this for a month at least.
Where did it all come from?
Who would send all this to Ga-eun, huh?
Is there a card or a note or anything?
Nope, nothing.
Who do you think sent this? It has to be our Director Ha.
You're so right. He must've sent it.
He's ever so thoughtful.
I should call him to thank him.
I'm home.
You're home early.
What is it? You look so down these days.
Kid, you're so weak and gloomy.
Life isn't any fun.
Jae-bum, you're home.
I wish Seo-jin were home, too.
I made a seafood hot pot. I'd rather we all ate together.
I think he still has work to do.
It would've been perfect if that young woman had joined us.
Did something urgent come up? She left in such a hurry.
She did. Something must've happened.
Did someone come earlier?
The beautiful young woman from before came by.
Uncle, you have to introduce me to her.
Let's see if we can have dinner together sometime.
Hello, Mother. How are you?
Just splendid. I wanted to thank you personally.
You shouldn't have sent us all these things.
Excuse me?
You wanted to help Ga-eun keep up her strength after quitting, right?
Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.
Um, Mother, I'm not following.
I feel a little pressured by your gifts of ribs and fruit and stuff.
I don't know if I can accept it when Ga-eun keeps saying not to.
Sir.
Oh, back already?
Mother, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I didn't send anything.
Yes, really.
No, no, don't apologize.
Okay. Goodbye then.
How's the search for a house?
I've narrowed it down to a few places.
What kind of house would be good?
The kind with grass and dirt out front, right?
And look into a car, too.
Perhaps she should choose one herself.
Look, I don't want just any car.
These days, we have to special order the limited ones.
I understand, sir.
Let's see, what would be good?
You wanted to help Ga-eun keep up her strength after quitting, right?
'Who is it?'
Park Jung-woo?
Yeah, it's definitely him.
Now that you know what Ga-eun wants, please process her resignation.
Explain what's going on here.
We thought Director Ha sent these, so Mom even called to thank him.
What?
Sis, if it's not him, who is it?
Who would send you such expensive gifts, huh?
Is it that jerk Jung-woo?
Are you meeting him again after the whole honeymoon thing?
Are you out of your mind?
Mom.
When I think of his family, I feel positively sick in the stomach.
What are you thinking by meeting with him?
Is this true? Jung-woo sent all this?
No matter how shameless, how can he think to send gifts?
He's the one who ruined us.
It wasn't him, Young-eun.
Mom, don't worry. I'm not meeting with him again.
I've never forgotten for a second what he did to our family.
He stole our father's company and framed my brother and put him in prison.
I'm doing everything I can for revenge, so don't ask any more questions.
Hey, Ga-eun!
I have no idea what that girl is thinking.
You're not doing anything you'd regret later, are you?
I'm not. Don't worry.
Alright.
I know you're not the type to worry me.
A letter from Sung-eun came today.
From Sung-eun?
Yeah. That poor boy... He must be suffering so much.
Sung-eun, just wait a little longer.
I'll get you out of there soon.
Park Jung-woo.
These stores in Myungdong and Kangnam look good.
Yes, stores of this size could rival international fast fashion brands.
Good, look into contracting the space as soon as possible.
Yes, sir.
What is it?
Honey, are you going to eat at home? Or will you be late?
I'll be late. You know that I'm crazy busy with our new brand.
Stop calling and wasting my time.
You just want to make sure I'm not off cheating or something.
No, that's not it.
Na-ri hasn't seen you for a while. She says she misses you.
You always come home late and leave early, so you miss seeing Na-ri.
Hold on a sec. I'll put Na-ri on.
Na-ri, it's your father.
Daddy!
Hey, Na-ri, did you eat?
Yup. When are you coming home?
Please come home early.
I want to play with you. Please come home early.
Alright, what shall I buy on the way?
Ice cream and watermelon.
Ice cream will make your throat hurt so I'll just buy a watermelon.
Okay.
You hung up? I wanted to talk to him.
You got what you wanted.
Don't keep him on the phone and disturb his work.
He's as docile and obedient as a lamb if you use this method, isn't he?
Why don't you know that Na-ri is his weakness?
Do I have to tell you this stuff?
Ga-eun didn't need anyone to tell her that.
Please stop, Mother. Why do you always end up mentioning Ga-eun?
Grandma.
Grandma!
Yeah, Mister Cho?
Huh?
Grandma, can you sing for me?
What? Sing?
Looks like Jung-woo will be home for dinner.
Get moving and fry the fish and cook the marinated beef.
It's late. He'll probably eat out.
- What? - Stop making such a fuss.
- Do you want me to nag you? - Fine, fine.
You'll dislocate your jaw.
Honey, shall we go to work together? You have to attend our meeting.
Alright.
By the way, what did your stepfather do this time?
What? He's not my stepfather.
Until when is your mother staying?
She's here because he ran off with her money, right
What?
I dunno. Don't pay any attention to that.
She keeps clashing with Mother.
If he's gone into hiding, you want me to find him?
What?
No, you don't have to worry about it.
I'll convince my mother to leave as soon as possible.
I've been so busy with the upcoming release that I didn't have time for her.
Here's the draft for the new catalog.
This isn't he model we wanted, but it looks fine.
We can't use only well-known models.
Why has my name been omitted from the main commercial copy?
It's been decided that awareness of your name has dropped.
Also, there's a need to be recognized by the brand name instead of yours.
What?
We understand.
The catalog looks fine. Go ahead and print.
Then we'll end this meeting here.
Director Ha, you must make a final report to Director Kang today.
I know.
Awareness of my name has what?
Why didn't you let me talk?
You should've taken my side!
You would've been made a fool if we kept arguing when it's been decided.
Let's focus on building up Star Fashion. We'll never be looked down on then.
I've decided to recruit Ga-eun into Star.
What? Honey!
You stay faithful to the Dream Star project.
We need this partnership for Star to survive.
You know exactly why I can't bring you back to Star Fashion right now.
So Ga-eun is my only option.
Are there no other designers other than Ga-eun?
You want me to tolerate my husband and his ex-wife working together?
You lost me my new designer.
Not another word. Cooperate for the sake of the company.
I can't believe this.
Ga-eun, I kicked you out of Dream Star and now you're sticking to Jung-woo?
I managed to get enough.
Thanks, Yu-mi.
Don't thank me. I want to be paid back with interest, you hear?
Take and go get the evidence from Cho Yong-gab.
Thanks.
Here's the money.
First, I want to see the bankbook.
Huh?
Yeah, okay.
You'll keep your promise?
You leave me out of it.
I can't testify or nothing like that, you hear?
I get it.
If we're done here, I've gotta split.
By the way…
Can you tell Mi-ran and her mother that you forced the bankbook away from me?
Well...
After living away from home, I realized how well Betty Jung treated me.
But if she finds out what I did, I can never go back to her.
So please leave me out of this so I can keep my love.
I'll think about it.
Fine, let's strike a mutually beneficial deal.
Huh? Mutually what?
Don't use words I don't understand.
I'll do what you ask if you'll work for me.
Wait, you want me to be a double agent?
Hey, I can't do that.
Forget it.
I'll protect my love on my own.
Let's never meet again.
Now I need to get some money out of Park Jung-woo.
This is the contract. Look it over.
Tell me if there's anything you want to change.
I trust that it's fine.
You're always so naïve.
You can't do that, even if you trust me.
Not everyone in the world is like you.
That's true. Guess that's why I always need someone's help.
It's not easy to live on my own.
Um, Jung-woo, I have a favor to ask.
Yeah?
Can you pay me the depositi upfront? I'm in urgent need of money.
What? Where do you need it?
Ah, sorry, I didn't consider your current situation.
Sorry if I insulted you.
No. There's none of that between us.
My salary was barely enough to pay off the interest of the debt.
I know.
And you're worst off now that you quit your job.
Hold on.
Kim, I want you to wire the deposit into Ga-eun's account immediately.
Thanks, Jung-woo.
Don't mention it. I'm just giving it to you ahead of time.
Are you heading out? I'll go with you.
I have to look at stores in Myungdong and Kangnam.
You're gonna open stores there?
I plan to take on an aggressive marketing approach with the new brand.
Gotta prove that our Star Fashion has as much brand power as Dream Star.
I'll need your help.
Okay, I'll work hard to help.
OUR Star Fashion?
A sudden business trip? Then I should go pack your bags.
Yeah, I'll be gone about a week.
That long?
How can you tell me now when you're leaving in the afternoon?
What's with him? Not like I ever announced my trips before.
Hello, Ga-eun.
If it's alright with you, come over for lunch today.
I have to go on a business trip to Singapore later today.
Okay, then see you in a bit.
Director Kang wants to postpone.
He needs to see the chairman off for his business trip.
Yeah?
Uncle didn't mention a business trip this morning.
You know he's always going here and there without warning.
Alright then.
Hello, Uncle. You're going on a business trip?
Yes, I am. Because of the new Dream Hotel to be built in Singapore.
Come eat lunch at home if you haven't eaten yet.
Did Capt'n Yeo cook something good?
And there's someone I want to introduce.
So come home and let's have lunch together.
Someone to introduce to me?
Is it the person that Capt'n Yeo keeps talking about?
Don't make assumptions. She's just a friend.
And there's no need to tell Seo-jin, okay?
I catch your drift.
I'll be there in the blink of an eye.
Whoever she is, he's very into her.
