What brings you here to see me?
I have something to tell you, sir.
Something to tell me?
Yes, sir.
About Ha Jae-bum and Yoo Ga-eun.
The boy who's like a son to me and my fiancee, eh?
I'm sorry to be the bearer of such unfortunate news.
But I couldn't stand by and do nothing when I know the truth.
Consider your words carefully before you say them aloud.
Else you'll regret it.
I've given this plenty of thought already.
Did you?
Yes, sir.
But first I'd like a promise from you.
- A promise? - Yes, sir.
I heard that Dream is looking to cancel all contracts with Star's shops.
Please maintain those contracts.
Keep your shops in return for info about Jae-bum and Ga-eun?
I wouldn't dare try to make such a deal with you.
I just want you to know this is hard for me to say.
I'm only hoping you'll show some kindness to Star.
Let's hear what you have to say.
Don't tell me that this is about the fact that they used to date.
You already knew?
Did you think I wouldn't know such things about my woman?
Then you're turning a blind eye to the fact that they're still meeting?
You came to me so late to be a pathetic snitch?
No, sir, I didn't...
Are you that bored these days?
You're awfully interested in your ex-wife's love life.
No matter how much free you are, this isn't very manly behavior.
Sir, I was just trying to...
If you're being so disgraceful to save your shops, you thought wrong.
That's not within my jurisdiction. You need to talk to Director Yoo Ga-eun.
Sir!
You're excused.
Honey, I heard the collaboration with Oriental fell through.
How did that happen?
That wench Ga-eun used a devious trick. I can't believe I fell for it.
Ga-eun did?
She pulled some strings and ruined our partnership with Oriental?
No way. How could this happen?
Chairman Maeng's got her back after all.
Ridiculous.
She thinks she's gained the world now that she's his fiancee.
- I'm gonna get her...! - Drop it.
Yelling at her won't change anything.
We need to do whatever we can to separate her from the chairman.
That's our only survival.
You should've told him about her relationship with Ha Jae-bum.
That sly old dog already knew everything.
What? He already knew?
Then how are we gonna break them apart?
He knows but he probably never saw them together in person.
People may understand with their heads but that'll change when they witness it.
We need unquestionable evidence that proves Jae-bum and Ga-eun are in love.
Alright, honey. I'm on it.
I'll tangle them up real good so they'll feel the brunt of the chairman's anger.
- You'll do it? - Yes.
It's better if I deal with this instead of you.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
You focus on the company.
Trust me.
I'll find evidence that'll make the chairman seethe with fury.
Then you're turning a blind eye to the fact that they're still meeting?
Capt'n Yeo!
Yes, sir?
Isn't Jae-bum home yet?
What? He's probably at the office.
He's become a real workaholic.
And Ga-eun hasn't called either?
She mentioned this morning that she has a meeting.
Don't you remember?
Shall I give her a call?
No. I'm going to bed. Don't wake me.
Thank you for meeting with me.
I came here to tell you -
How's your mother doing?
Excuse me?
This isn't much but I hope it helps.
Ma'am...
I came upon your news by accident.
Your mother's struggling with a terminal illness?
I also heard things are hard after a few failed investments.
Please use this for your mother.
I can't accept money from you.
I can't.
I was grateful for everything you did when I was still with Jung-woo.
I couldn't ignore your present condition.
As you probably know, I'm doing well these days.
Please, there are no strings attached.
I'm just worried you'll do something drastic for money.
Excuse me?
I overheard a report given to the chairman about Star.
Your embezzlement came up.
What?
Don't worry, I don't think Jung-woo knows yet.
I'll keep your secret.
Things must've been real hard for a loyal person like you to do that.
Tell me if you need more money.
I'll help you with everything that I can.
Don't worry.
I won't let an innocent person like you come to any harm.
If I tell the chairman about your mother,
we can provide her with the best doctors in America.
What can I do for you?
The chairman?
He turned in early for the night. He doesn't want to be woken.
I see.
Where's Seo-jin?
He came home a while ago. And Jae-bum just came home.
I see.
Good night, Capt'n Yeo.
Good night, Madam.
Stop it!
Are you okay?
You two think you'll get away with this?
Jung-woo, you'll come up with another scheme.
Drink this instead.
Let me ask you something.
Why aren't you using the chairman's power if you needed his over mine?
Why are you taking your time with Park Jung-woo instead of ending things?
That's not a painful enough death.
If I was gonna end things so easily, I wouldn't even have begun.
I plan to torment and torture him and strangle him slowly.
Does that answer your question?
Were you always such a terrifying person?
Must you really go through with such a terrible revenge?
No matter what I say, you won't understand.
You're not the one who lost a father, a brother and everything else as well.
My head can understand, but my heart never will?
I'll do whatever is necessary to punish those two people.
I'll find out for myself the extent of my fury.
Why so jumpy? Like you did something wrong.
The juice you make is just so good.
Why are you so tense?
Capt'n Yeo!
No, I'll clean it up.
Capt'n Yeo!
What are you looking for?
I spilled the juice.
Give it here.
I'll do it. Please give it to me.
Please, don't.
Capt'n Yeo!
Yes, sir?
Goodness! I was in the bathroom. Give that here.
That kid will be a great husband to his future wife.
Aren't you going to have breakfast? Why are you heading back up?
I'm not hungry.
Why isn't Seo-jin coming down?
Well, he left at the crack of dawn to exercise.
You haven't gone to see your mother recently, have you?
I haven't.
Visit her more often.
I don't want to lose points with her for keeping you from her.
I'll visit her.
By the way, Jung-woo created a scene at my office yesterday.
He did?
Fortunately, Exec. Director Ha stopped him from causing any trouble.
He did?
What was Secretary Yoon doing? I specifically told him to look after you.
You weren't hurt? You're okay?
Yes. I was a little shocked but I'm okay.
This man is President Park's right-hand man.
Kim Young-gyu is a very competent man.
Park Jung-woo's right arm?
She seems to be winning over the people around him.
The first step to capturing an enemy is to shoot his horse.
She even met with Kim's mother recently.
His mother?
She laid the groundwork to win him over.
She's a lot more meticulous than I thought she'd be.
Yeah, she's like that. That's what makes her so lovable.
I do hate stupid women.
Kim.
What happened to the stores in Kangnam and Myungdong we put on sale?
Any offers yet?
I'm in talks with a few people but they keep trying to lowball us.
Everyone knows that we're strapped for cash right now.
The stories about Yeo Mi-joo and Oriental are out already -
I told you to secure that.
Then again, it's like sticking my head in the sand.
We can't keep it a secret from the stock exchange forever.
The bank's pressuring us to repay the loan.
What do we do?
The land we bought to build Fashion Town in the future.
Put that on the market.
The land in Yeoju?
But you said our future depends on that land -
Would you hold onto that while our company goes bankrupt?
And bring me the papers on the Rubin project that we shelved.
The one the directors were against? Importing the name brand?
That one.
We're gonna take that up again so tell the planning team.
But the directors won't -
Must I repeat myself? Do what I tell you!
Yes, sir.
I don't have any money.
I sold my shares and used everything to pay indemnities, remember?
I thought you got a lot of alimony from the Arabian geezer.
Most of which went into buying Sun Apparel.
Is the company that strapped for cash?
Oh no.
Alright.
This is all due to Ga-eun's dirty tricks.
That wench...
When did you declare it? Stop insisting on that lie.
I declared it for sure. Maybe you were in the bathroom?
Stop pushing that lie. You didn't declare nothin'.
Lie? You say that when you see what cards I have?
Are your scamming habits coming out or what?
Wh-what? Scamming?
Who are you accusing of scamming?
Aren't you the one trying to scam us by lying?
Mister Cho, did you see her declare her card or not?
- Huh? - Tell the truth.
You saw me declare it with those beady eyes of yours.
- What? - Hurry up and spill it.
If I take the other card, I win big.
Well, tell it.
That card's mine because I declared my intent.
Just tell us what you saw and heard.
I... see, what I think is...
- What do you think? - Yeah?
Maybe she did and maybe she didn't.
I don't really remember.
Mister Cho!
This game is a flop.
What the heck is this?
Stop it already.
What? You want me to follow Ga-eun and find out who she meets?
Well, that is my specialty...
But!
I'm scared.
She isn't the old Ga-eun.
Chairman Maeng's got her back now. One wrong move and I'm dead.
That's why you need to be extra careful.
Just watch her and report things to me.
That's not so dangerous.
The design leak is long forgotten so you'll be okay.
I got rid of the evidence.
You did?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I could've stopped this prison lifestyle a long time ago.
Well, you know now. You gonna help me or not?
Look, we're family but you still gotta be respectful when asking a favor.
And I never work for free...
I'll look into buying back the house you and Mom used to live in.
That's great, but I don't have any funds right now.
Fine, fine. Just don't screw up this time.
Mi-ran, what did you talk to Mister Cho about...
Wait. What medicine is that?
It's nothing.
It's not nothing. Let me see.
Prescribed by the obstetrician? What is this?
- It's nothing, really. - But it IS something.
Don't tell me you're...
Spill it.
Something happened, didn't it?
Mom, I had a miscarriage.
There's no baby. What do I do, Mom?
What now?
Jung-woo stopped talking about divorce because I was pregnant.
You and Mother were so happy about the baby.
Goodness gracious.
Mom, why me?
Na-ri's not fully my kid. Half of her belongs to Ga-eun.
This baby was gonna be all mine. I was going to raise him so well.
So why did this have to happen?
Goodness. You poor thing.
It's my fault. I've sinned too much.
How could you lose the baby?
Ga-eun gave me so much stress.
What can I do now?
I'm gonna hide it for as long as I can.
I can't tell them that I miscarried, Mom.
Alright, I'll hide it with you.
Heck, you can just get pregnant again in the meanwhile.
There's always a way out, no matter how bad the situation.
Mom.
No way your mother-in-law will let you off the hook.
We'll be kicked out for sure.
And seeing his track record, Jung-woo will bring up divorce again.
That's why we need to keep this a secret.
Don't worry. I won't let it slip.
Poor thing.
A miscarriage requires as much rest as giving birth.
But you had no peace of mind.
You had to deal with it alone. You poor thing.
Mom...
Clear your schedule tomorrow.
I'm inviting Ga-eun's mother and sister over for dinner.
Maeng, you missed me, huh?
So overly confident.
What?
You think missing you is the only reason I'd be here?
Didn't it occur to you that I might have something important to say?
Something to say?
I get it. It hurts your pride to say you missed me.
I get it. I'll let you off this time.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
You have something to say. You can say it inside.
Hold up.
Maeng, it's fine, really.
You don't need to prepare.
I already told my mom all about you so don't be a mouse, okay?
- You told her about me? - Yup.
When I told her we were dating, she said to bring you home.
And since you're here, you might as well say hello.
There's no need to feel pressure.
Please, sit comfortably.
Young-eun told me all about you.
I see.
Aren't you curious what she told me?
Mom, what are you gonna say?
You played hard to get, didn't you?
Mom!
But it's the truth.
One look and you're already on his side?
He's gonna believe you if you say things like that.
What if he keeps playing hard to get, huh?
I just pretended because she's so cute.
It's okay to trick her a bit. She's not the type to get discouraged.
Seriously...
Is it too early for me to ask what your parents do?
Huh?
Well, my parents divorced early and I live with my father.
Mom, don't ask such things. It's too early.
We're still just friends.
What do you mean you want us to pay the entire amount?
We agreed last time that we'd pay in increments.
What? You won't sign with us then -
Hello? Hello!
Rubin's manner towards us has changed drastically.
Of course. He's heard about our falling outs with Dream and Oriental.
Darn it...
It'll be hard to gather enough cash to pay him up front.
What shall we do?
How much capital can we use including additional bank loans?
I knew you'd be here. You still at battle with your work?
I don't have time to play with you.
Are you acting like this because of Ga-eun?
Shut up.
Why? Does it hurt to hear her name?
You gonna test my temper?
If I were you, I'd show her up by getting with me.
Why are you still here? You're interrupting my work.
Then again, you're not that type of person.
Which is why I like you so much.
Are you bearing things well?
Yes. Don't worry about me.
Ga-eun, don't hesitate to tell me if I can help.
Don't suffer all alone. You can discuss anything with me.
Mom.
I understand how you feel.
It must've torn you apart to leave Jae-bum for the chairman.
Sis, I'm sorry.
I let you shoulder the burden of Dad and Sung-eun's deaths by yourself.
Ga-eun, we tried to stop you for your happiness.
But I can see that you can't be happy with that bitterness in your heart.
You'll find your happiness once you've resolved that feeling.
So let's work on it together.
Mom...
Jae-bum, please go with me tomorrow.
I told you, I'm not going.
I'll wait until you come.
Stop bothering me and go home already.
Hey, what are you doing!
If you don't come to the concert, I'll bug you every day.
I warned you. Bye.
That brat.
You're back early from visiting your mother.
Yes. Where's the chairman?
Talking with Secretary Yoon in his study.
This is kimchi my mother made. Please try some.
Oh, smells good.
Jae-bum loves green onion kimchi.
Ga-eun.
