(Episode 109)
How dare you!
I will not divorce you. Never!
I know all about your past now, and you won't let me divorce you?
I said I'm sorry for everything.
Please forgive me. It's all in the past.
Just let it go and forget about it, okay?
Shut your mouth.
I still have to see Choi Ho Jin every day at work,
so how can I forget about it?
Just end it quietly now,
or you'll be seeing me in court.
Are you saying you'll file a lawsuit for divorce?
Then the whole world will find out about it. You don't care?
I don't care, as long as I can end this marriage.
I will not divorce you, no matter what.
Han Min Hyuk, I abandoned everything just to make you mine.
And what? You want a divorce? Who says you can?
Is that so?
Fine, then I'll file a lawsuit. Consider yourself informed.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Mother, please stop Min Hyuk.
He wants a divorce.
He said he'll file a lawsuit if I refuse to settle.
- A lawsuit? - Yes.
If he goes that route, everyone will find out about my past.
Then I won't be the only one whose reputation will be ruined.
- So please, Mother. - Then you should...
just settle. What's the problem?
You know that you shouldn't treat me like this.
Are you trying to threaten me again?
Fine, go ahead and do whatever you want.
Mother!
Do you think you'll be okay if your father-in-law finds out...
about Min Hyuk's biological father?
You blackmailed me using that just to marry Min Hyuk.
Do you really think you'll be okay?
Get out of our house immediately.
He told me to call the police if you showed up again.
I'll leave,
but please lend me some money.
What?
I got my purse stolen, so I'm penniless at the moment.
I have nowhere to go and no money to even buy food.
I don't have any money to give you.
Then a credit card... Please let me borrow your credit card.
We'll be strangers when my son divorces you.
Why should I let you use my credit card?
Get out before I call the cops on you for breaking and entering.
What are you waiting for? Get out at once!
Get out.
My gosh, really?
I'd love that, of course.
Okay, I'll be right there.
- So Won. - Yes?
The lady at the oil shop said I can take some young radishes.
- Come with me. - You want me to come with you?
They're up for grabs. We should go bring a ton home.
She told me to take all of them. She'll throw them out otherwise.
Let's make something tasty with them...
and eat it with Jae Hyuk and everyone else.
We'll also get some sesame oil while we're there.
- Okay, sounds like a plan. - Good.
Ha Eun, I have to step out with Grandma. Have fun, okay?
- Okay, Mom. - Good.
Look at you with your full kitchen set. Cook something.
Your mom and I will eat it when we're back, okay?
Okay.
The lady at the oil shop said she hasn't been sleeping well.
Shall we pick up some red bean porridge for her?
- At that restaurant? - Yes.
- Their porridge is so good. - I know.
Why did she close the store so early?
I have nowhere to go.
Aunt Yeon Su.
- Who's home now? - No one.
Mom and Grandma went to get some groceries.
What about your uncle?
He's away on a work trip. He won't be coming home today.
Really?
- Where are you going? - The stationery store.
Oh, I see. Go. I'll hold down the fort.
Okay.
This looks delicious.
Hey, Hwang Yeon Su!
What are you doing at our house?
I can't believe you sneaked in here after I kicked you out of the store.
Leave. You'd better get out!
Grandma!
Hey, Ha Eun. Let's go to the room.
I told you to leave. What are you waiting for?
I'll leave after I finish this.
We don't have food to give you!
How could you be so cold-hearted?
I just want some food because I'm starving. Must you be like this?
This is nothing compared to all the things you did to us.
You abandoned my son and your child and ran off.
Then you stole my technology.
You even hit my son-in-law with your car and ran away.
Should I go on?
Leave. Get out of my sight at once! Get out.
- Ms. Song! - Get out. Leave!
Get out. Get out of my house!
What on earth are you doing?
I want to ward off misfortune. Got a problem with that?
Every time I see her, bad luck follows me around for 10 years.
Mom, please.
Jae Hyuk should be home soon.
Gosh, I should put the soup on the stove.
Mom.
Why is Grandma so angry at Aunt Yeon Su?
Did they fight again?
Oh, well...
Grandma was just worried that she'd be mean to you again.
I see.
Aunt Yeon Su seemed very hungry earlier.
- Ha Eun. - Dad!
My gosh, Ha Eun.
- Did you have a fun day? - Yes.
- You're home. - Yes.
Yeon Su was here?
Yes, my mom kicked her out. She caused a huge scene.
I didn't want Ha Eun to see it,
so I took her to Mom's room.
But she's quick-witted, you know.
She's utterly shameless.
How dare she come here?
My point, exactly.
Did the meeting with the factory manager go well?
Yes, he said they can definitely manufacture the warming fabric.
He also said we should try out other things,
in addition to the kids' line.
He'll support us even though we're no longer with Noyu.
That's such great news.
We don't know how long it'll take my father to forgive us,
so let's proceed with the project on our own.
Okay.
Speaking of which, I have an idea.
What is it?
My mom and I went to see her friend earlier.
She said she's been taking medicine because of her insomnia.
That's where I got the idea from.
How about we make sleepwear that helps you fall asleep?
Using the warming effect.
- Sleepwear? - Yes.
They say that we spend a third of our lives sleeping.
What do you think about making...
functional sleepwear that helps you sleep better?
That's a great idea. Why don't we work on the design first?
Sounds good.
Did you drink again?
Min Hyuk.
Do not file a lawsuit for divorce.
She's refusing to settle, so I have no choice.
Must you divorce her?
The board members aren't happy with you now...
because the deal with the home shopping network fell through.
If you get a divorce on top of that,
they won't want you to take over your dad's position.
I can't keep living with a woman like her just for that reason.
Focus on your big goals, and don't let your emotions get in the way.
Even if you really want a divorce, now's not the time.
Put up with her just for the time being, okay?
Gosh.
I can't believe I have nowhere to go.
I should wait until everyone's asleep.
- Aunt Yeon Su. - Ha Eun.
You're still awake?
I woke up.
You're still here?
Yes.
I'm cold.
Then I'll bring you a blanket.
What?
Okay.
You should eat this.
Thanks.
Hey, is everyone asleep now?
Yes, they're all sleeping. I should go back to bed too.
Okay.
So everyone is asleep?
Is someone in there?
Was that a rat or something?
They don't even have leftover rice?
I'm starving.
When did she sneak in again? I can't believe she's sleeping here.
Wake up. You'd better wake up!
Wake up. Get up!
Is this your bedroom?
Why are you sleeping here?
Mom, what's going on?
- Yeon Su? - Yeon Su!
How did you get in?
Right, I noticed that my keys were gone.
You must've taken it.
Give it back. Where is my key?
- Where is it? - Gosh, what are you doing?
My gosh!
Hold on. Are you wearing my clothes?
Now, you're flat out stealing stuff.
I didn't steal them. I'm just borrowing these.
I couldn't wash my clothes for days, so I had no choice.
That's your problem.
You sneaked in and stole our food.
You're even stealing my clothes now?
And you even slept here?
Get out. You'd better get out at once!
Get out.
- Leave. Get out! - What are you doing?
I told you to get out. Get out! Leave at once.
- Get out of my house! - Gosh. I'm leaving, okay?
I can't believe how petty you are.
That witch. What should I do with her?
Why on earth did you come here?
It's not like I wanted to come here.
I'm here because I have nowhere to go.
You can't come here even if you have absolutely nowhere to go.
Do you have no conscience?
Don't you know that you're not welcome here?
How could you do this to me? Have some sympathy.
"Sympathy"?
We don't exactly have that kind of relationship.
Think about all the things you did to me and my family.
My mom went easy on you for old times' sake,
so just be grateful.
You're kicking me out like this for old times' sake?
Others wouldn't even treat beggars like this.
Of course, I wouldn't treat a beggar like this.
I'm being like this because it's you.
You've done so many horrible things, yet you still...
refuse to repent and admit to any of them. How despicable.
We both got kicked out, okay?
Don't be so full of yourself.
This is a warning.
Do not hover around our house ever again. Do you understand?
Hey, give me some money.
What? Money?
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
I don't have money to give you.
Gosh, I'm about to faint!
Hwang Yeon Su, look at the mess you're in.
How pathetic.
You should've tried to live your life like a decent human being.
What? "Pathetic"?
Hey, forget it.
Hey, take this.
I'm giving you this because I pity your life.
So get yourself some food with this and turn over a new leaf, okay?
Choi So Won, I'll get back at you for this.
I feel so much better now.
Maybe she's not all there.
She's pretty good-looking though. I feel bad for her.
Is she homeless?
What are you drawing so intently?
I'm designing sleepwear.
- You want to sell sleepwear? - Yes.
Functional sleepwear that makes your insomnia go away.
The lady at the oil shop would love that.
Sleep is the best medicine, you know.
Sleeping well is as important as eating well.
Totally.
Mom, if there were functional sleepwear...
that helps you fall asleep, would you buy it?
If it really helps me fall asleep, of course.
Those who have never had insomnia don't know how painful it is.
If you toss and turn all night,
you end up with brain fog all day and even lose your appetite.
You can't function at all.
- You're right. - I have to go to the store.
Okay. Then I'll pick up Ha Eun later.
- All right, do your work. - Okay.
I reported Director Kang to the prosecution just now.
He's embezzled a lot of money...
over the years by fiddling the numbers.
I never thought Director Kang would do such a thing.
Sir.
Why don't we have Mr. Park return to his former position?
Since acquiring the courier company,
our sales numbers have been going up significantly.
And a majority of the board members want him reinstated.
The company is going through a crisis,
and Jae Hyuk is no longer with us.
The executive director position is vacant,
so our shareholders are anxious.
Mr. Park is deeply regretting what he did.
You should forgive him now.
Please allow us to use the lab.
It's something we've been working on,
so we just need to do the mixing a few times.
I already told you. We can't do that.
Ma'am, you know who I am.
I'm sorry.
You know that there's nothing I can do.
(Vice President Han Min Hyuk)
Yes, okay.
I just got a call from the Head of Research at the lab.
Jae Hyuk asked them to do a few experiments for combining...
the power-cool fabric with the warming effect.
He got fired.
What is he even trying to do?
He's obviously doing everything he can to get his job back,
but that won't be easy.
So what did you do? We need to take care of that.
I already did.
Director Park already told all the other labs not to help him.
No one in the country will take on this research for him.
Good, well done.
Come in.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
I looked into where Choi Ho Jin went for this work trip of his.
He's at a gambling den in Gangwon Province now.
A gambling den in Gangwon Province?
Why did he go there?
He said he was going...
to Gangwon Province because the firm we're in litigation with is there.
That's the reason he gave us,
but he's actually at a gambling den.
Does he gamble?
(No Minors Allowed)
(Game Land)
Excuse me for a moment.
Seo Jung Bae is calling.
What's up?
The legal advisor from Noyu is after me.
Choi Ho Jin or whatever his name is.
What? Where are you?
The owner gave me a heads-up, so I managed to run away,
but I almost got caught.
By the way, why is he after me?
Did you order him to do this?
No, I didn't.
I'll look into it. I have to go.
Okay.
What did he say?
He said Choi Ho Jin is tailing him.
Choi Ho Jin?
- Why? - I have no idea.
(Game Land)
Sir, I heard you asked for me.
I've decided to give you one last chance.
I will reinstate you as executive director.
Sir.
I discussed it with the board prior to making the decision.
I hope you won't disappoint me ever again.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Dad is speaking with Director Park now.
Really?
I hope to hear some good news.
Come in.
What did he say?
- Does that mean... - Director Park.
I owe it all to the two of you.
Thank you.
I'm so glad.
(How Functional Sleepwear Works and Its Benefits)
As for this design, the warming effect...
will only be used around the abdomen.
When kids sleep, we pull up blankets only up to their bellies.
- Oh, this is the power-cool fabric. - That's right.
We'll apply the warming effect to that fabric.
Sleepwear with the biotechnology...
that stimulates the body's bioactivities?
It'll raise the body temperature while we sleep,
and the bioenergy will be absorbed into the body.
If we manage to find a good lab to help us with this,
it'll be a huge success.
Exactly.
What are you guys talking about looking all serious?
We were talking about functional sleepwear.
Functional sleepwear... I think it's a good idea.
Let me know if I can help with anything.
Aunt Yu Jin, do you know of any research labs?
- Research labs? - Yes.
We need to test this but haven't found a lab that can help us.
Okay, I'll look into it for you.
By the way, Mr. Park Sang Tae...
has been reinstated as executive director as of today.
They acquired the courier company, so I saw this coming.
I can't believe this.
He started the fire at the factory. How could he...
Tae Seok probably had no choice.
As you know, the company is going through turmoil at the moment.
On top of that, Director Kang got fired...
for some corrupt deeds.
I see.
You two need to come back to Noyu soon.
Hello, would it be possible to use your lab?
We'll need some helping hands as well.
I have a bit of a situation.
Really?
Thank you.
Mr. Choi! You're back!
- You're still up? - Yes.
I was waiting for you. We must've been on the same wavelength.
Knowing that you were so far way made me miss you even more.
Did your work trip go well?
Yes, of course.
Here.
Walnut cookies? I guess they're for Ha Eun.
- No, I got them for you. - What?
Ha Eun doesn't eat those. She doesn't like nuts.
You actually got these cookies for me?
You got them at a rest stop because you thought of me?
Only because you said you ate all the macarons.
My gosh, Mr. Choi.
This humiliation...
I will never forget this.
(Executive Director Park Sang Tae)
Come in.
Congratulations on your reinstatement.
Congratulations, Director Park.
Thank you.
Sir.
I'll work even harder to assist you with a refreshed mindset.
- Good, that's what I like to hear. - Oh, right.
I found something we can use to get Choi Ho Jin fired.
I received a call and some footage from the owner...
of the gambling den where he was staking out.
Turns out, he's visited the gambling den a number of times.
Apparently, he's a habitual gambler.
What? He gambles?
He didn't go there to catch Seo Jung Bae.
He went there to gamble.
Gosh, I'm speechless.
Birds of a feather sure flock together.
He's just like Yeon Su.
We have evidence...
to believe that Mr. Choi engaged in illegal gambling.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Mr. Choi?
Yes.
(Noyu's Legal Manager Suspected to Have Engaged in Illegal Gambling)
What is this?
The owner of the gambling den said he's a habitual gambler.
We checked their security footage as well.
What?
We should let him go.
Sir, I'd like to speak with you about something.
Mr. Choi, can you explain this?
Is it true that you've been gambling illegally on an ongoing basis?
No, it's not true.
I went there because of someone I had to track down.
I was on a stakeout with the police.
Here,
I have statements from the police and the gambling den owner.
(Statement)
Director Park.
What is going on?
This clearly says that he was on a stakeout!
Did you check the facts prior to reporting it to me?
(Game Land)
I know that someone is tailing me.
Could it be...
- Change of plans. - What's the new plan?
Contact Director Park at Noyu Group and tell him...
that you have reasons to believe Choi Ho Jin is a habitual gambler.
Record videos of me gambling and send them to him.
Okay, got it.
It looks like Vice President Han misunderstood what I was doing.
But there's something I don't understand.
The owner of the gambling den told me...
he never said to anyone that I gamble.
Then...
who's behind this article?
Perhaps,
someone who's trying to sabotage me, I suppose.
Sir.
I went there because of someone I had to track down.
Someone you had to track down? Who?
Seo Jung Bae.
Seo Jung Bae?
Yes, the detective who was in charge of all the cases connected to Noyu.
(Bad Love)
Seo Jung Bae? But why was Mr. Choi after him?
That's what I'm wondering too.
If you take anything from our office,
I'll report you for theft, so leave immediately.
Ms. Hwang, are you back now?
So Won is busy too.
What is So Won working on?
- Someone is trying to stop them. - Who?
Those who don't want So Won and Jae Hyuk to come back.
Don't tell me it's Min Hyuk.
- You need to stop them now. - I already took care of it.
What if they succeed?
Don't worry. I will never let that happen.
