(Episode 33)
(Son)
"Son"?
Hey, Jae Hyuk.
"Hey, Jae Hyuk"? Then...
(Vice President's Office)
(Chief Executive Assistant Park Sang Tae)
Hello?
Who?
Nurse Ji Soo Na?
Nurse Ji Soo Na quitted.
She resigned out of the blue.
Hello, Mr. Park.
What?
Jae Hyuk has been trying to track down that nurse?
Yes, ma'am. She just called me...
and said that someone's after her.
You should've kept a watchful eye on this matter.
So where is she now?
I sent her to a nursing home in a small country town.
He won't be able to find that place.
How can you be so sure?
I'll keep an eye on him, so please don't worry.
I've been craving a burger because I've been living on Korean food.
Extra toppings, checked!
It smells delicious.
It's so good! The patty is so juicy.
Everything tastes so fresh.
It tastes just like the handcrafted burgers in the US.
It'd be so nice to have a place like this near my work.
Why don't I just open one myself?
So Vice President Han is Chairman Han's son?
So Won, what are you thinking about?
Sorry? Oh...
- Ms. Ko. - Yes?
Did you know that Vice President Han was Chairman Han's son?
You didn't know?
We all found out about it a little while ago.
He and Director Han Min Hyuk are brothers.
What?
Director Han is Vice President Han's younger brother.
Then Ms. Han must've known about it too, I guess.
What? What did I know about?
Ms. Han.
I thought it was something he should tell you himself.
I couldn't just step in and tell you.
Why? Did it hurt your feelings a lot?
I guess you're really surprised.
Right, it's understandable.
But he rarely talks about himself, you know.
Try to understand, okay?
I bet she quit, knowing that I was coming to see her.
Someone got involved and got her out of there.
Could it have been Jang Hwa Ran?
Someone is trying to stop me at all costs,
which means she is connected to Eun Hye's accident.
But why would Jang Hwa Ran do all this?
What is the truth?
I'm speechless.
Whether I like someone or not is really none of your business.
Do you even know who he is?
No way. I can't believe it.
Now, you're finally getting a reality check?
Is that why you said that to me?
That's right.
I wanted to tell you because I thought you were being ridiculous.
Don't make a fool of yourself and come to your senses.
A mere part-timer and the chairman's son? Seriously?
I know he's nice to you, but it's just pity.
He probably felt sorry for you.
Can't you tell from how he hid who he really is from you?
Enough.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fooled you like this.
It's so obvious that he looks down on you.
What's the matter?
You left without a word and didn't even answer my calls.
What's wrong?
Are you mad at me?
How dare I get mad at you?
So Won.
I heard you're Chairman Han's son.
Was it fun for you...
to hide it from me when everyone else at work knew?
I had no idea, like an idiot.
You must've thought I was pathetic.
Don't say that.
The things you said and did to me...
How much of it was sincere?
Until when were you going to keep it from me?
I'm sorry.
I was going to tell you eventually.
"Eventually"? When?
You've known all along that I work at Noyu.
How could you keep it from me all this time?
We live under the same roof and work at the same company.
You've had many chances to tell me.
Right. Like you said,
I'm nothing to you.
But this is just wrong.
How could you do this to me?
So Won.
What's wrong? Did you two fight?
Mom.
Ha Eun, I need to get some rest.
Mom looks angry, Grandma.
What's the matter with her? She seems to be in a bad mood.
Yes.
He has no reason to tell me everything.
But...
why am I so angry?
How can I make her feel better?
Peter, tell me what I should do.
Where's So Won?
She left earlier to go to work.
It's so odd.
What's with So Won?
She seemed very angry yesterday.
Did something happen?
- Could that be the reason? - What is "that"?
Nothing. It's something personal.
Why did you even bring it up, then?
There's something I have to tell you.
What? Are you serious?
You're...
You're the chairman's son? My goodness.
How could you surprise us like this every day?
Gosh, my heart is racing.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Why did you live like that if your father is the chairman?
Hold on. If your father is the chairman of Noyu...
Then is Jang Hwa Ran your mother?
My gosh.
I'm completely flabbergasted that I don't know what to say.
I'm so surprised.
Why didn't you tell us sooner?
I'm sorry.
I'm sure he didn't mean to keep it from us.
Uncle Ho Jin, the chairman is very high up in the company, right?
Yes, he is.
Ha Eun, did you pack your bag?
I should check it for you. Let's go to your room.
But I have to say,
you and Hwa Ran practically treated each other like strangers...
when she came by a while back.
How could you be so cold toward each other if she's your mother?
Not every mother-son relationship...
is like the one you have with your cute prosecutor son.
You think so?
Anyway, my heart is still racing.
Cake.
If you're hiding anything from us, you'd better tell us.
I don't want another surprise like this.
I'm not hiding anything!
Well...
Why are you living here when your father is the chairman?
You can live in that fancy mansion.
I just don't get it.
I like living here.
Goodness, I just don't understand you.
By the way, I guess you may have to give up on him.
I mean, he's the chairman's son.
On top of that, Jang Hwa Ran is his mother.
That rude woman...
Anyway, that hammer witch will probably...
brag about her successful son like there's no tomorrow.
"Hammer witch"?
Is that Ms. Jang's nickname?
Yes, mine was Scissors.
What?
I want details.
Well...
Back when I was in middle school...
Frankly,
my feelings are a little hurt too.
I feel like you looked down on us as well.
I'm sorry if I made you feel that way.
Why did you leave the company as well as home...
and live like that when your father is the chairman?
I don't know what your story is,
but I don't appreciate you...
keeping it from us until now while living with us.
Even I'm this upset. So Won must feel so betrayed.
She even works with you.
(Choi So Won)
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Darn it.
- What is that? - Apples.
What are they for?
Vice President Han sent them for us.
Vice President Han? This is so random though.
I heard eating apples in the morning is so good for you.
- Let's just enjoy them. - Thank you.
The apples are for you. Please accept my apology.
This agarwood was imported from Vietnam.
It smells nice.
I can smell the difference.
They started working on the sample, so we'll hear from them soon.
How's Team One doing?
Things must be going well for them. Soo Ho looks so excited.
The competition hasn't begun yet, so let's wait and see.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hello?
I arranged a meeting with Mr. Moon, the owner of the thread factory.
- Mr. Moon? - That's right.
He developed the weaving method that increases air permeability.
You should meet him. You'll find him helpful.
Okay.
I think we can boost air permeability as well.
How?
I have a meeting scheduled with an expert in that field.
You can just tell it's different.
Yes, indeed. When will the sample be ready?
- In the afternoon. - I can't wait to see it.
Let's get ready for a pleasant surprise.
- I'll go organize the storage room. - Okay.
So Won.
Why did you leave without even telling me?
I figured you'd be busy.
I'm not busy at all.
You got the apples, right?
Don't make me feel more miserable than I already do.
I totally understand why you're mad at me,
but I had no choice. Try to put yourself in my shoes.
You said you felt like you don't know me when I was appointed VP,
so how was I supposed to tell you?
Had I told you, you would've further distanced yourself from me.
Do you think that's a valid reason?
Do you know how stupid I feel right now?
Forget it.
Let's drop this. I have to go do some work.
Why did you come back alone?
Vice President Han has a meeting,
and So Won said she has to stop by somewhere.
How's it going for your team?
Did you figure out what to use for the antimicrobial effect?
Of course, agarwood...
We found some of that too. What about air permeability?
I can't tell you. This is a competition, you know.
Hey, sister.
Okay, I told you I'm trying to get money for the hospital bills.
I'll try to get enough money for it no matter what.
Let's talk later.
Give you all the information?
Well, not exactly.
I just want to know how things are going for your team.
We'll just refer to it, that's all.
So you're basically asking me to be a spy.
You said your mother is ill.
The hospital bills must be expensive.
I want to help you.
No, thank you. Please don't bring this up ever again.
I came back because I got so angry while waiting for your call.
Have you ever even thought about...
how desperate I must've been when I came here wearing a cast?
It may be easy for you to just give an order to get someone fired,
but I must work every day to make ends meet.
Are you done? I'm too tired.
Why did you keep it from me?
The fact that Vice President Han is your son.
I guess it was awkward for him to bring it up,
but why did you hide it?
Why didn't you tell me that he's your son?
How could you let him...
live at someone else's house and not even care?
How did you know?
He told me, of course.
Are you like a cuckoo that abandons her babies?
You don't even look sorry.
And you talked all politely to your son as if he's a stranger.
Are you the chairman's second wife?
What did you just say?
I don't have the energy to gossip about other families' problems.
So give me my job back.
Is there no one else that can help you get a job?
There is, of course.
I live with a vice president and a team manager.
And my son is a prosecutor.
I'm only asking you for help...
because I don't want to worry them.
- Team manager? - Her name is Cake.
The manager of Noyu's design team.
She lives at your place too?
That's right.
Okay. I'll think about it, so please leave now.
Then I'll consider it done. I'm off.
Gosh, what a headache.
I knew about Jae Hyuk,
but even Yu Jin lives at Choi So Won's place?
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
I heard Yu Jin is staying at Choi So Won's place.
You knew, didn't you?
Why did you hide it from me?
I didn't hide anything.
You didn't tell me. That's considered hiding.
You didn't tell me about Jae Hyuk living there.
And even Yu Jin now?
Are you really going to keep this up?
I didn't tell you because I was afraid of you reacting like this.
It's not even a big deal. Why must you cause such a fuss?
Because you do this every single time.
Leave. I have work to do.
(Chairman's Office)
- Hwa Ran. - Do you think I'm a joke too?
- Did you fight with Tae Seok? - What?
I can tell by just looking at you.
When women are mad at their husbands,
even the littlest things can tick them off.
- Yu Jin. - What?
Why didn't you tell me that you're staying with Choi So Won's family?
So basically, you live with Jae Hyuk.
Why did you keep it from me?
Gosh, I wonder what this was about.
I was afraid of you throwing a fit like this, so I didn't tell you.
Are we good now?
You and your brother are two peas in a pod.
Even you look down on me now?
Are you that insecure?
Why are you so twisted?
Life is too short even if you're happy all the time.
Why must you live such a sad life?
- What did you say? - Oh, right.
I heard you used to be known as the hammer witch.
The hammer witch of Bulcheon-dong.
I heard you used to threaten your friends with a hammer.
Gosh, I'm truly amazed.
You look so elegant now, so I had no idea you had such a dark past.
Do Tae Seok and Min Hyuk know too?
If not, I should tell them.
Yu Jin!
Please don't.
Find a space for the acupressure bed shop at a good location.
I thought you were just investing in the business, ma'am.
I need it for something. Just look into it.
Yes, ma'am.
So Won!
We're a team. How much longer will you stay mad at me?
I'll make sure that the competition won't be affected.
What can I do?
How can I earn your forgiveness?
What I want is your sincerity.
Can't you see that I'm sincere right now?
Everything looks fake now.
So Won.
Hammer witch, you're no match for me.
What can she do when I'm practically...
holding her son hostage here?
Still, I have to say I'm impressed that she raised her son so well.
I'm home.
Why do you look sulky all the time these days?
- Did you eat? - I'm not hungry.
Sit down.
Are you upset because of Vice President Han?
Because he fooled you?
Yes, I understand why you're angry.
But you've sulked enough, so forgive him already.
I'm sure he didn't mean to keep it from us.
He probably just didn't know how to bring it up.
I'm sure he has a story.
He and Hwa Ran don't seem close at all.
A mother and son can't be like that.
You're usually very understanding.
Why sulk over nothing?
Besides, are you keeping no secrets from him?
You haven't told him about Ha Eun either.
You have secrets too, so I'd say it's even.
You're making him so uncomfortable by sulking like this.
Mr. Get Out, why did you call me?
Ha Eun, I need your help.
With what?
Come to think of it, I'm keeping many things from him too.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
When I first met you five years ago,
I had left home as well as the company...
because my parents didn't approve of my fiancee.
I wanted to protect her, the woman I loved,
but I couldn't.
I've returned to the company because I must find out...
the truth behind something,
but that's about it.
The fact that my dad owns Noyu Group...
means nothing to me.
You said you also have to uncover the truth about something,
and that is why you must stay at Noyu.
I'm in the same boat.
Our situation is the same.
I'm just me, not someone's son.
I'm Bigfoot and J.
Han Jae Hyuk too. They're all me.
That's why I didn't tell you.
That's how I feel,
but I didn't think you'd feel the same way.
I thought you'd judge me like everyone else does.
Can you please accept my apology now?
So Won.
Okay.
I'll try to treat you like before.
Brace yourself though.
At work, I'll treat you with all the respect that a VP deserves...
and treat you strictly as a tenant when I'm home.
All right. Promise?
Yes.
Tak Se Hoon was just here?
I came a little too late. All right.
I'll send you the money tomorrow.
I can't use my bank account now. Just give me cash.
- Then tomorrow... - I'm in front of your place now.
You gave me your address last time.
- What? You're here? - Come out at once.
Hello? Hello?
Darn it.
Hello, Mr. Han.
I met Mr. Moon.
Right.
I'm near your place now. Come out for a minute.
I'll tell you about the meeting.
You're near my place now?
Then why don't we meet at a cafe in my neighborhood...
Come down now. I'm almost there.
This is crazy.
Yeon Su!
Ms. Hwang.
Mr. Han.
By the way, why are you dressed so lightly?
I'm okay.
You'll catch a cold.
When I called you the other day,
I heard a man's voice.
Are you seeing someone now?
Yes, that was my boyfriend.
(Bad Love)
So what's the result? You seem to be in a good mood.
You'll find out at the competition.
Are you trying to keep me in check?
How do you think Team One did?
I heard they're pretty excited.
Who's on Team One?
How many years have you been with the company?
It's been four years.
Four years? It's about time you got a promotion.
Do you know that Yeon Su is seeing someone?
He's Vice President Han's brother.
So he's also the chairman's son?
We need to figure out a surefire way to win.
But how?
If we can't become stronger, we must weaken the other team.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
What? What do we do?
What did you say?
