[Episode 6]

You said you left your car at Han River.

Let me drive you. We can talk on the way.

Okay.

I'm sorry, but she was talking to me first.

she was talking to me first.

Don't you want to know how I know that you're Ha Yun Seo?

Let me explain everything. Let's go eat.

Let's go to Han River.

Let's eat.

Let's go to Han River.

- Let's eat. - Let's go to Han River.

- Let's eat. - Let's go to Han River.

- Let's eat. - Let's go to Han River.

- Let's eat Han River. - What?

I had a twist of the tongue.

You can eat Han River by yourself.

Let's go eat.

I'll hear the story later.

Let's go. I have something to tell you, too.

What are you doing?

Can you give me a ride, too?

You said you're going to Han River. I'm going in that direction.

Where is that?

How do you know what side of the river my car's at?

It has to be somewhere on Earth. Seoul's not as big as you think.

Oh, if it's near Yongsan, even better.

Director, let's go.

[Is the Director]

[your ex-boyfriend?]

Am I right?

Erase that!

[Is the Director your ex-boyfriend?]

[Cinderella at 2AM]

So...

how do you two know each other?

How do I explain this?

We became close through texting first.

Rather than that, you were texting the wrong number.

That's right.

I thought I was sending them to someone I know.

Maybe because the texts were sentimental,

Team Leader thought they were from her ex-boyfriend.

She said her heart sank like she was getting a disaster alert.

What are you doing?

We said we'd break up. This is wrong, no?

- This is wrong, no? [You're doing okay, right? Then it's okay with me.]

You two seem close for people who connected over the wrong number.

Actually, we do have a connection.

Maybe because we texted and called often?

That was all your doing-

Never mind.

How did you know I was Ha Yun Seo from AL?

By coincidence.

The AL Hanok Stay opening exhibit?

I know you're in a pinch, but it seems too much like a backup option.

You know you were our original first choice.

- I'd like to talk to you in person. - No need.

I have the proposal you sent before. I'll call you after I look over it.

[Ha Yun Seo]

[Messages]

[Ha Yun Seo / Jae Hee]

It seemed like a fun project with a fun connection,

so I accepted it right away.

I don't believe in fate,

but I almost did this time.

You can drop me off at the subway station. That'll be faster.

Team Leader, I'll call you.

Make sure you save my number.

Wait, I asked you to drop me off over there.

It's busy over there.

Why don't you just walk? It's not that far.

It's empty over there. It's not busy-

All right, see you later.

What? By chance...

Do you still not know how to write a report?

Do it again!

Got it.

- Ju Won. - Yes.

Get me a latte.

You got it.

Honey, did you see it? My revenge?

Deputy Bae called me, but I waited three seconds before answering.

You did?

What a cruel revenge.

A few days ago, he was picking on me,

so I dropped him off 30 meters away from the subway station.

You must be tired. Are you okay to drive?

Yeah.

So, that was a shy revenge, right?

What?

N-No.

I think Artist Lee Seong Min knows we dated and is joking around.

I think he's just a peculiar person.

Don't let it bother you too much.

I can't help but be bothered if someone is interested in you.

I-Interested? No way.

It's not like that.

Can't you just mark him as spam?

What are you saying? The exhibit opens on Monday.

I have tons of stuff to manage.

I thought you were quitting. Why are you working so hard?

You said you were disappointed in me because I was irresponsible yesterday.

I wasn't disappointed.

I was jealous.

I haven't gotten over you at all.

But you went on a blind date and went to eat with a guy right after work.

That makes it sound like I'm a terrible person.

Mr. Lee just followed me on his own, and the blind date-

I was told he was a headhunter.

I went to look for a new job.

What?

I didn't know it was a blind date. I took a resume with me!

What?

Seriously.

I was so frustrated yesterday.

You were so cold to me and made me sad.

Were you sad?

Because I was cold?

Honestly, it wasn't great.

I mean,

I don't understand how I feel, either.

I thought it would be fine for you to hate me.

But it was frustrating to be actually misunderstood.

I know we need to break up,

but I don't like it when you treat me coldly.

But...

we can't do this.

Why can't we?

We can't both keep holding onto our lingering feelings,

unable to get rid of them,

and stay like this.

But I'm going to stay like this.

♫ Every scar, every tear ♫

I'm not going to get rid of my feelings for you.

I'll stay like this.

You told me before.

That you can live just fine without love.

But...

I don't want to live like that without you.

♫ You know, right? ♫

♫ Fade in blue ♫

Can't you just come to me?

♫ Like a fog ♫

♫ If I try to reach you, catch you, it might go away ♫

♫ I just let the color wash over me like this ♫

How many times do I have to tell you?

I've memorized this pattern since we broke up so many times.

Is it on repeat? Why are we always back to square one?

I-I think I'm not in my right mind because I haven't slept.

We can stop here. Let's go. Let's go...

[010-0961-6271]

Did you get home okay?

I'll be at AL Card on Monday.

Let's get chicken that night.

I think it's so fun that we met like this.

It feels like fate.

Sure, but I don't know if it's good fate or bad fate.

Moving forward, please play ignorant about my relationship with the Director.

I almost fell for it again.

Get it together, Ha Yun Seo.

He is no longer that idiot. He's the artist.

Artist.

Artist...

[Artist Lee Seong Min]

What is this? How dare you spend the night out?

I texted you last night.

There was a work emergency. I had to work all night.

Get out of the way.

For real, right?

You weren't with the weakling, right?

I was worried all night.

I heard he left home, too.

I thought you two might have eloped.

Elope? Please.

Get out before I give you a bloody nose.

Noona, be strong.

I know because I've seen too many melodramas.

It's catastrophic to marry into a family with insufferable in-laws.

As a senior in high school, are you proud of watching melodramas instead of studying?

Noona, is the weakling still not back at home?

What?

If he left home,

is he still staying out somewhere?

I don't know.

See? See?

You look worried! You still have feelings for him!

Gosh, please. Get lost.

Get lost, I said! Seriously.

Who is it?

It's me. Open the door.

Hyung?

What brings you here?

Are you staying here like this?

What? Well...

Take it.

Stop staying at hotels. Pick one of those places.

It's fine. I'll take care of myself.

How exactly will you take care of yourself?

Did you know there are rumors about you leaving home?

Director Seo Ju Won is out as an heir candidate for the line of succession.

- What? - If you like her that much, hang onto her.

But since it hasn't worked out thus far, it must not be mutual.

Give it up if it's not working out. Go back to where you belong.

That was from Mother.

But to me, it looks like she wants you to come home instead of leaving.

Hello.

Yes, Mr. Lee. Hello.

Hello, Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee, you heard, right?

There was a big crowd as soon as the gallery opened!

Well, I expected that.

I'm hot, you know.

Yes. You are.

Just last Friday, I thought we were in big trouble.

It's like the saying, "A blessing in disguise."

I don't know how we could ever repay your generosity.

It must not have been an easy decision. Thank you again.

Don't just thank me with words.

- Let's get some chicken and beer tonight. - Sorry?

Aigoo, only chicken and beer? Let's get something more expensive.

With the AL Card's company card.

We'll treat him to a proper dinner, right?

Sure, sure. Of course.

Come on in. Your contract is ready.

Okay.

- Have this. - Thank you.

Right. Let's not mess up work because of personal feelings.

[Artist-Gallery Contract]

We can proceed.

You don't need to read it further?

I've read enough.

You know I majored in law.

Didn't we see each other around campus?

You were famous for being a third-generation chaebol heir,

and I was famous for my looks.

I was also famous for my looks-

We'll discuss this on our end and send the signed contract.

and send the signed contract.

See you at the staff dinner tonight.

Does the Director attend the staff dinner, too?

- What do you mean? - I'm just curious if it's for me,

or if it's to keep your eye on me.

Don't take it the wrong way.

You're Team Leader Ha Yun Seo's disaster alert.

Her ex-boyfriend.

That's why I was curious as to if you were over her.

Why are you curious about that?

Not sure.

Why would I be?

Yeah.

Right now?

A last-minute meeting with the General Automobiles deal came up.

The client happens to have plans in Korea and can meet in Jeju.

- So, we're leaving in an hour? - Yes.

Right now?

I'll be right there.

I'm sorry. Something urgent has come up.

I'm interested in her.

Or maybe I'm curious about her.

I don't know how honest I should be with her ex-boyfriend, but...

She seems cold, but she has a funny side.

I also have something to thank her for.

Mr. Lee.

I inadvertently saw your texts to your ex-girlfriend.

It seems you went through a breakup recently as well.

How can you be so easily...

Those texts weren't for my ex-girlfriend.

I haven't been in a relationship in a long time.

I guess Team Leader Ha could think that, too.

I should tell her.

- Hey, Seo Ju Won. - Huh?

What?

Did you pay attention to what I said yesterday?

Don't hang onto a relationship that's over. Focus on work.

Okay.

Gosh, it's nice to work with you!

Where's the Director? He said he was coming.

Something came up. He went to Jeju-do on a business trip.

I see. Good.

Why are you staring at me like that?

I feel like you should be an entertainer instead of an artist.

Instead of landscapes, why don't you paint a self-portrait?

Gosh, no way.

No matter how hard I try, it won't capture how I look in real life.

That's right!

That's right.

- Excuse me, Mr. Lee. - Yes.

We won't be seeing each other like this that much.

Let's take a picture.

- Sure, good idea. - Yay.

- Me, too! - Sure.

Team Leader, you should be in it, too. This is a rare opportunity.

I'm okay.

If we're not all in it, let's not bother taking one.

Team Leader!

Let's just take the photo.

- Get close. - Okay, taking the picture!

One, two, three!

- Can I take one? - Gosh, of course.

- Everyone get in. - Okay.

Team Leader, you need to look at the camera.

Okay, two, three!

I thank you for your hard work. See you soon.

Delighted to meet you.

- Good work. - You, too, Hyung.

[Messages]

- Mr. Kim. - Yes.

- What time is our flight? - In two hours. At 9 p.m.

In two hours...

it'll take three hours to Gimpo and four hours to Gangnam.

That won't work.

What won't work?

What is this photo?

Actually, there's a guy who's interested in Yun Seo.

What?

Let me see.

Isn't this Lee Seong Min? You asked me for his number so you could scout him.

Those two locked eyes in just a few days?

- That fast? - They didn't lock eyes.

They're having a staff dinner.

Right. You said you know someone close to him, right?

- Yeah. - What have you heard?

Do you know what kind of person he is?

Sort of.

He comes from a political family.

They set him up so he could carry on the lineage,

but he gave up a stable future to become a painter

and the family flipped out.

He talked about cutting ties with them and left home-

He's just like you!

He left his family to pursue his passion for painting.

Maybe he's even worse than you.

Wow, this is not going to be an easy fight.

Never mind. Let's go.

Hyung, Yun Seo is so pretty, right?

Look!

Yeah, she's pretty. Pretty.

Goodness...

You said cinemas are dark and cramped.

Going with Yun Seo makes it feel okay.

Yun Seo is acting strange.

Do you think I did something wrong?

I thought you might chase after Yun Seo,

but didn't expect you to reject working abroad.

Ju Won did like Yun Seo very much.

Ju Won!

W-What's wrong?

I'll help you.

Who else would understand what you're feeling?

Hyung, what are you doing? People are watching.

Seo Ju Won, listen to me.

I'll take on Mother's expectations as the oldest son. So...

You live the life you want.

- Mr. Kim. - Yes.

Please get a helicopter.

A helicopter? Why suddenly?

Fly over there right now. Make your dreams come true.

Go to the staff dinner right now and get her.

Can I really do that?

Okay.

A propeller!

Cheers!

Chug!

You're supposed to chug.

♫ How long will you make me do a shoulder dance? ♫

Chug, chug, chug!

Cheers!

Why don't we start wrapping up?

Mr. Lee has to go to Yeosu for the event tomorrow morning.

I think you've had a lot.

- Well? I don't think I've had much. - Come on. Seriously?

He says it's okay. Why do you keep being like that?

I wanted to run up the company card,

so I ordered more meat and drinks on my way to the restroom.

I also got four more bowls of doenjang* stew and rice. (Fermented soy paste)

Our order must be here! Come in, deonjang rice!

I'm going to clean out AL tonight. Don't stop me!

D-Director! Have a seat here!

I'm late.

You must have waited long.

How? We didn't know you were coming.

Didn't you go to Jeju-do?

Deputy Bae kept calling me, so I couldn't skip.

I did?

O-Of course.

Director, you can't miss such an important staff dinner.

That'd be nonsense. That's why I called you like crazy.

I forced myself to come for the sake of our teamwork. Go ahead and eat.

Yes, you did go out of your way. But welcome.

This looks great. Team Leader, please have some.

Sure.

I haven't had dinner because of the meeting.

Looks delicious.

Hot.

Yay! Success!

Let's do another round at this super hot bar.

What?

Director? Why are you here?

T-T-That...

Because I kept calling him, he came.

- I see. - I'm sorry, but I can't go for the second round...

Why not?

Oh, right! You feel uncomfortable because of the Director.

Come on. A staff dinner is an extension of work.

I know you broke up, but you should separate work from life.

Fine, I'll go.

- Let's go now. - Hurray! Another round!

It's a super hot bar.

[Mother]

Yes, Mother.

The deal will proceed, no problem.

All right. Good job.

And how did it go with Ju Won?

- Ju Won? - As the oldest son and his older brother,

you need to help him not to keep wandering.

I know he left impulsively

but can't come home out of pride. He must be struggling.

Well, not sure about that.

I don't think he wants to come home yet.

W-What?

But still, as I said,

- appease him and talk to him. - Mother, that won't make a difference.

I think it's best to wait and see until he cools down on his own.

Mother, I'm naked right now. I might catch a cold.

I'll call you later. Bye.

Wait!

Look at these boys!

A man carries the weight of being the oldest son.

That's Seo Si Won.

So cool.

Anyway, did he make it to the staff dinner?

He can't lose this.

I-It-It's not-

No, no! No. I can't. Don't get close. I'll leave.

I thought you were getting home late from Jeju.

Oh, that...

The schedule suddenly changed, so I got home fast on a helicopter.

By the way, I didn't mean to show you earlier.

I didn't close the door when I lived alone.

I got used to it and wasn't thinking.

I'll be careful from now on.

All right. Since we're living together, let's be careful.

Okay.

I'm sorry I screamed earlier.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw flesh...

I was just shocked.

Wait, those pills...

Is that for trauma?

Can I have one, too?

I was really startled.

They're sleeping pills.

Sleeping pills.

Was it so shocking that you can't sleep?

It wasn't that impactful. I usually can't sleep.

I'll add "no nudity" to our new rules.

- Got it? - Yes, yes. Oh, okay...

Over here!

Mr. Lee, over here.

- It's great here. You haven't been, right? - Of course I have.

You've been? Of course, you have.

Director, are you sure I called you?

I don't see it on my call log.

Honestly, you came because you wanted to linger, right?

You wanted to drink with Team Leader Ha.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.

Hey! Wait for me!

Why are you doing this?

- What? - You came because it was bothering you.

It's not like he likes me.

Why did you follow me all the way from Jeju-do? So extra!

Do you think I'm doing this for no reason?

What?

Why aren't you two coming in?

Are you getting back together right now?

Get back together! Get back together!

I hope you get back together!

I'm sorry.

What do you mean? They're dating again!

Let's go.

And...

I think you know that I wouldn't do this for no reason.

It's so nice here.

- Right? You're glad we came, right? - Totally.

All right. What should we drink?

- Cocktails? Whiskey? - Let's do whiskey.

Whoa, both of you like whiskey.

You're totally synced.

What about food? The gambas or the cheese plate-

The cheese plate.

- You're synced again. - I know, huh?

You two should never go on a double-blind date together.

You'd be into the same girl.

I'll order whiskey and a cheese plate on my way to the restroom.

I'll do it.

I'll just go.

Excuse me.

Gosh, Director, don't drink so fast.

Say ah.

Eat slowly.

Why not? They say the last one to arrive has to drink thrice.

He was late and didn't even do that.

Why don't I do it now?

Drink thrice as much.

Wow! A round of applause!

The Director does what he puts his mind to.

- Right? - It's just three glasses of whiskey.

Are there people who can't drink that much?

- Then why don't you try? - Sure. Why not?

So, Mr. Lee, do you have a girlfriend?

No, I haven't been in a relationship for a long time.

Maybe over three years?

But there's someone who thinks I had a breakup recently.

Anyway, it's been a while since I've dated anyone.

Oh, I see.

Then, could I ask what type of a woman you're into?

Well...

I like someone who is cold but fun, charismatic yet unexpected.

Someone who is desperately making a living, doing her best every day.

Someone pretty like that.

I need to end this gathering right now.

All right.

Should we wrap this up?

Let's empty this one before we go.

Director, if you're tired, you can go home.

Me?

I think you're more tired. Why don't you go ahead?

I look tired? I think you are.

I can drink this all by myself.

That was a truly weird night.

Ju Won, who's usually polite to everyone, lost his cool in front of this guy.

I can drink this one and another bottle by myself.

This strange man who appeared in front of us kept shaking us up.

I can drink this one and two more bottles by myself.

- I can drink three. - I can drink four.

I can drink five-

Enough. Everyone's had plenty to drink.

When I finish this, we're leaving.

That night, strangely, I wanted to stop the night, the situation.

- Chug! - Daebak.

One more bottle!

Eventually...

Cheers!

Ma'am, one more bottle over here, please.

What... Where am I?

Lee Seong Min's studio?

Why am I here?

Huh?

Huh?

What? What happened?

Be careful! Be careful! Be careful!

Sorry, sorry. I'm usually not such a lightweight.

I drank too fast. I'm so drunk.

Wow. You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen.

Is that why you can't forget me? Because I'm so pretty?

- Am I that attractive? - Of course!

But I'm not so bad, either, right?

I'm handsome, tall, rich, and young.

Why do you keep breaking up with me?

You should be just a little handsome, tall, and rich.

But why are you so attractive? Huh?

You're such hotties. What are we going to do?

Are you awake, hotties?

Good morning!

It's so nice in here. All this natural light!

R-Right. This futon is more comfortable than my bed.

Daebak!

You must be embarrassed since you're rambling on.

Yes.

I'm embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed I could die!

Right. You should be.

Aigoo, you were both acting so drunk last night.

No. I mean, you two.

Why did you act like that last night?

What? What did we do?

You two created a weird vibe at the staff dinner.

I was trying to wrap it up and ended up this way.

I mean, a drinking competition? Who does something so foolish?

Why can't you two just get along? Why can't you do that?

Why did you have to create this situation? Why?

You think this is our fault?

I'm sorry.

Anyway, please don't create this kind of situation again.

I'm heading out.

I'm hungover.

You're hungover?

Want to get some pizza? Let's get pizza and then go to work.

Pizza for a hangover?

Want to go get some bean sprout soup and rice?

No thanks. Let's take care of our own hangovers.

Thank you for everything.

Gosh...

Yun Seo.

Can we talk for a minute?

Can we talk later?

I have a headache.

Is it bad? Want me to drive you? Or get meds?

No, it's not that bad.

See you at the office.

[Fresh]

- I'll take this. - Let me ring you up.

I'm sorry. I left my wallet at home...

I'll come back.

Hottie! Wait for me!

Aren't you thankful I brought your wallet?

Then let's go take care of our hangovers. We can have our soup and rice today.

I need to go home and go to work.

Just tell them you're meeting with me.

Then you can show up late.

Soup and rice plus a hangover drink?

Why are you doing this?

What did I do?

Maybe you find it entertaining that I can't get over my ex-boyfriend

while working in the same space. But not me.

So, why are you toying with someone else's pain?

- I'm just glad we've met like this. - I'm not glad.

I'm ashamed that

someone I just want to work with knows about my ex and my feelings.

In the car, at the staff dinner last night...

Pretending to be close to me to provoke him...

I think you're crossing the line. It makes me mad.

You speak so coldly.

I don't need to be warm toward you.

So, please stop toying with me like this.

I'm already overwhelmed and struggling without it.

Yes.

You know I'm going to Paris for a week today, right?

Yeah. You texted me your schedule.

Have breakfast before you go. Let's eat together as a family.

Okay, sure.

Two bundles of scallions plus two bags of rice.

That's correct, sir. I'll send the money right away.

Thank you, CEO

I'm not the CEO.

My niece over here is the CEO.

I'm just an employee. A very lowly-

Oh, Yun Seo!

What? What are you doing here?

Why are you here instead of going to work at this hour?

Yi Rae.

- My stomach hurts. - What?

Did you leave home early, or did you not go home at all?

- Go away. - Okay.

- Take your time. - Okay.

What's going on?

Did you actually drink all night and not go home?

Yeah. I need to eat this and go.

Why didn't you grab some soup near the office?

Just because.

- I wanted to see you. - Ew.

What is it?

It's just hard.

What is? Breaking up?

Yeah.

I don't know what I'm feeling.

I don't understand myself.

It's so painful.

♫ You already reside in me like this ♫

When he's cold toward me, it's hard to see that.

When I see him care for me as always,

I think it's immature, but I'm relieved without even realizing it.

♫ Throughout this long while ♫

♫ My heart should fade ♫

I can't let go of him.

But I can't hold on to him, either.

My heart keeps breaking into pieces.

♫ You come to me again and make me cry ♫

What is all this?

Madam asked us to prepare them.

This is so much for a family breakfast.

Wait...

Did she fall for me after seeing me last night?

A guy like me.

Mother?

What brings you here, Mother?

Didn't you know I was coming?

- Didn't you tell him? - I did.

I told you. Breakfast as a family.

This is what you meant by "family."

- Have a seat. - Sure.

It's strange to have you here for breakfast.

Well, it doesn't feel familiar to me, either.

So what's going on?

Nothing.

It's hard for me to make time in the evening.

I wanted to say hello to her before I left for Paris.

You know how Ju Won left home?

I thought she might be lonely in that big house by herself.

I was worried.

Do you...

not find me difficult?

I do.

But I don't feel uncomfortable around you.

I want to have a good relationship with you.

You're my role model.

I knew you two were similar.

Sometimes I get chills because it's uncanny-

- Could I come by sometime for advice? - Sure.

- Do that. - Yes, Mother.

Also, I don't know why Ju Won left home exactly, but...

Hey.

Lee Mi Jin.

I know because I must do what I want to do.

He has to fight until the end, so he has no regrets later.

Someday, he'll see where you're coming from.

Take care of Mother until Ju Won is back.

Have meals with her.

Okay. I should.

Don't team up against her.

Yes. Of course not!

Give me your hands.

What is it? Huh?

What?

Mother, Si Won got this for you.

Yes. I got it for you.

We just got it at the department store. It'll give you energy.

[1969]

Oh, yes.

Let me give you one.

Here.

Pretty good.

- Thanks. - Of course.

What are you doing?

Getting ready to leave. Why?

Well...

Thanks for today.

I just see my mother as a strong person.

I didn't think she'd be lonely.

Strong people get lonely, too.

Your father has been abroad for years.

She must feel so alone in that big house.

Here.

Read it if you can't sleep.

What is it now?

Cuddle with it when you sleep.

A stuffed animal?

Well, a subcontractor gifted it to us.

You can have it.

If you hug something soft, you fall asleep easily.

Have a good trip.

Sleep tight every night.

Hey.

Thanks a lot for giving me Lee Seong Min's number last time.

I meant to ask if you want to grab dinner.

How's next week-

Yeah.

What did you say?

Vice Chairman!

What? I told you not to come here.

There's a problem.

[Assemblyman Lee Gyung Seok, accusations of nepotism]

[Special treatment debut for an assemblyman's son?]

Did you know about Artist Lee Seong Min's background, Director?

I found out recently as well.

We went to school together, but we didn't know each other well.

The Vice Chairman connected us through a friend.

But it wasn't special treatment. Why is it a problem?

I thought so, too.

But it may look political for our group.

You and I should handle this.

Team Leader, please get a plan ready for the press.

- Got it. - I have something else to tell you.

Take care.

Team Leader.

The Vice Chairman was here because of the news, right?

- Yes. - What do we do?

Is this job cursed?

After Artist Park Jong Soo, and now Lee Seong Min, too?

Team Leader, look at this. People are gleeful.

Saying that Lee Seong Min's team leaked the news about Park Jong Soo,

that he got in through nepotism, and that his paintings are bad.

They're awful.

Please prepare materials for the press.

Cancel the Meet the Artist event that was scheduled today.

- I'm going down to the gallery. - What?

The gallery? All the way to Yeosu?

Yes. Reporters might swarm the place.

I think I should go there myself and handle it.

Team Leader, I have something else to tell you.

I know that Artist Lee Seong Min is estranged from his family.

He might be sensitive about this news coming out.

It's personal, so I don't want to say more details.

But I thought you should know.

[Contacts]

[Artist Lee Seong Min]

Is he just going to ghost, or what?

Are you okay?

Are you here because you're worried I might not be?

Of course. We brought you in

and you came all the way here, but the event got canceled.

Plus, reporters might be swarming the place.

Of course, I should take care of you.

How dependable.

But it should be okay now.

- My father's camp released a rebuttal. - What?

"It's true that Assemblyman Lee Gyeong Seok's son is the Artist Lee Seong Min,

but it was not special treatment.

Artist Lee changed his career path abruptly during law school.

Due to this conflict, the father and son have not stayed in contact.

Assemblyman Lee only learned about the exhibit today.

While it may be late, he supports his son in pursuing his dreams.

He is planning to attend the exhibit soon."

Isn't this TMI?

I'm in a weird mood,

the event is canceled, and I'm here.

Want to go to the beach?

It's weird to have the world see what I didn't want to reveal.

I get it.

You didn't voluntarily reveal your wound, but someone else did.

It makes sense that you're upset.

What?

Are you really Team Leader Ha Yun Seo?

Why are you so warm toward me? I thought you had no reason to be.

I'm sorry about everything.

But I actually have something to thank you for.

What?

Assemblyman Lee Gyung Seok.

He pretends to be a pacifist,

but he's a violent person.

What?

He didn't just do it to his family.

He laid hands on people around him.

When he found out one of his aides helped me start painting...

What is this? Die!

[Rightful Peace Party] He made sure he couldn't stay in politics.

I cut off contact with Father after that.

But I got a postcard from the aide recently.

He told me to do what I wanted to do and be well.

I didn't know if I could even apologize.

I couldn't bring myself to.

I mustered up the courage to track down his number, but it was wrong.

That's why I started contacting you.

So, those texts...

I ruined a person's life.

And I thought, "Can I really start painting again?

Is it okay for me to be well?" Right as I was feeling confused,

I heard your voice that day.

[Jae Hee] [You're doing okay, right? Then it's okay with me]

Hey! Why are you driving like that?

You did an illegal U-turn first!

Look at you, you young thing!

Thanks for calling me young, but I'm not that young.

Even if I am, you can't speak to someone like that.

It was tough to make a living, so I worked when others were relaxing.

Do you even know how deep labor is in my DNA?

So, between two people who are desperate to make a living, let's stop fighting.

At that moment,

I felt like I was in a different world.

The voice on the other side of the phone was full of life.

Even though she said her life was exhausting,

I could feel her will to live.

[Stay Arang Exhibit Proposal]

[Ha Yun Seo] [Jae Hee]

That's why I wanted to meet you.

Anyway, I just wanted to meet you.

I just wanted to meet you and tell you.

It was nice to meet you. And I thought that meant I was interested.

I was swept up in my own feelings and put you in an awkward position.

I'm sorry.

Now that the news is out, I told my excuse.

You seemed very upset this morning.

Well...

I've been feeling confused lately, too.

I want to break up with him.

I have to.

But it's easier said than done.

I may have been taking it out on you.

I feel empty, inside out. Should we go get some hot gukbap.

Besides soup and rice,

there's something I do when I feel empty inside.

Want to do that together today?

When you feel empty inside,

do you come outside to paint?

Painting is good, but...

before I start,

I like the time I spend looking at the landscape.

If you focus on nature,

you can hear sounds you don't usually hear.

That makes me feel calm.

That's why I started painting landscapes.

You're way...

worse than I thought you'd be.

Excuse me?

Why are you laughing?

It's just so cute.

I'll still give you a compliment.

For your first time, you did well.

Then let me give you a compliment, too.

It seems like you've been through a lot.

But you've achieved your dream.

I respect that.

So, I almost felt proud of you.

Enough to give you a pat on the back.

Then, pat me on the back.

That's just a saying.

Words are not enough for me.

Pat me on the back.

Tell me I went through a lot.

That I'm doing a good job.

You've done so much.

You're doing a good job.

I thought you wanted a pat on your back.

♫ The more I get to know ya, can't tell the feelings I feel ♫

♫ Sometimes it doesn't feel so right ♫

[Cinderella at 2AM]

- If you really want her back... - Let her go now and get her later.

The first thing you need to do is move your office.

I think it's really over. Over!

Is he really trying to get over me?

From now on, I'm a bad guy.

The strategy is jealousy.

That jealousy, that primal feeling.

Yun Seo has to feel it to know how precious you are.

When I'm struggling, I keep thinking of him.

Did something happen to Yun Seo?
