[Episode 16]

Yes, this is it. This will be my luck.

Is this the flower shop?

I want to send flowers.

To Lena Jeong.

Her address is TY Mansion Suite 202, Sangdo-dong 18.

The sender?

Just write the initial P.

Okay. I'll send flowers when your payment deposit is confirmed.

Thank you.

It's a lucky day!

8 Bouquets, 2 Baskets. $470. Ordered by P. Delivery by 11am. To Lena Jeong

Card: 'I am always watching you.'

What are these?

They were just delivered.

Who's the sender?

Well, it's Ms. Lena Jeong.

Lena Jeong?

You're busy making guest appearances on TV these days, aren't you?

I'm just busy, there's no outcome.

How is it going to give me a spot as a regular?

Your appearance on Healing Recipe won high ratings so we're trying to...

Is Heeyon Jeong against me again?

Just wait. I'm trying to convince her.

What are my chances?

Low, since Heeyon is stubborn.

[Mr. Minjoon Park]

It's no time for her to stand her ground.

Ratings for her show are low except when I appeared on it.

So I am convincing her.

If she doesn't want to, I'll work with other networks.

I have many offers.

Answer the phone first. It's annoying.

Yes. It's me.

What are all these flowers?

Why ask me? You know better since you're the sender.

I am the sender?

I have no reason to receive flowers from you. So I returned them.

What are you talking about? Why would I...

I'm in a meeting. Please, don't bother me anymore.

Hello? Hello?

The number you have dialed is not available...

Hey, wasn't it Minjoon Park?

Are you two playing hard to get?

No. He carries the torch, sending me flowers for days. It's bothersome.

You're not interested in him at all?

No. All I care about now is my career.

Then why did you ask if he's single?

Don't feign indifference. Catch him.

With his money, you'll walk the royal road.

Not interested. I will rise in my own right.

Let me be clear.

If I can't be on Healing Recipe as a regular, I'll work with other networks.

I'm warning you, don't bite the hand that fed you.

I will persuade Heeyon.

She's grown bold.

We need to talk.

Talk? I have nothing to talk with you.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

I already told you. I have nothing more to talk with you.

Mr. Park, why are you doing this to me?

When I called to buy you a thank-you dinner, you hung up on me.

But now you send me flowers every day. What's your real intention?

Is it to breathe on my neck?

You've accomplished your intended goal, so please stop.

This is really unpleasant.

Who sent flowers to whom? I've never sent you flowers.

Isn't this what you sent me?

'I am always watching you. -P.'

'P' as in Park Minjoon. You sent it, didn't you?

Why would I have?

I'm neither a man of leisure or interested in you.

Are you serious?

Wait. If it was not really you, then who on earth...

How do I know?

It really displeases me to be suspected like this. Don't contact me again.

Okay. If you say so, I should believe you.

I'm sorry I got you wrong.

What's wrong? What happened?

The door is unlocked. And...there...

[I love you to death. You are mine, Lena Jeong. -P]

What should I do? What should I do?

It's alright. Nothing will happen to you.

You went through much trouble.

My face.

My face suffered hardship to look beautiful on Jaejoon's engagement day.

Changsoo, how's my face?

Why do you keep getting botox?

Grow old naturally. You're an old bag in any rate.

What? Old bag? You're really! I'm not an old bag!

As a cosmetic surgery specialist, tell me the truth. How old do I look?

Well. Around 70?

Seventy is only a number.

If seen in the dark, you look like an old maid in her late 40's.

-Right! -You look about forty.

See? I look young!

Just come out.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hurry, come.

We'll see you out here. Goodbye.

-Take care. -Bye.

Lies trip glibly off your tongue.

Mr. Park invited me to his office today.

I can pay lip service to get the hospital in Qingdao.

I'm going out. Take good care of patients.

Wait. Won't you take me with you? He might say something important.

I'll be back. Guard the house well, okay?

Ha. That little...!

Well, it's not bad to eat out of her hand.

Going back to work at last?

My boss told me to come back since everything worked out fine.

That's good. Your job will help you get over him fast.

Right. I'm so thankful that I have a job.

Esol, come out quickly. My dad and your mom are fighting.

-Hurry! -What?

Let me go! Don't stop me!

You should not. Just listen to me.

Father, please stop! She is right.

Even though you visit them, nothing will change!

Then the have-nots should always take it lying down?

No matter how rich they are,

...how could they think of kicking us out on the street for their son?

They shouldn't do that if they are human beings!

What do you mean?

You didn't know?

Jaejoon's mom bought this house and canceled it to pull you apart.

What?

Fine, go. Go if you want.

Go and suffer insults.

You think they'll open the door to you?

They live in another world beyond our reach.

We only had bad luc so let's forget about it. That's the best.

You too, Esol. Forget it completely. Don't even turn the head towards them.

Are you meeting well with Yura?

Why does Father call us into his office?

There's a reason.

He's going to give you an engagement present.

Why, are you worried you might run into Esol?

She isn't even worth your attention. Don't mind her.

How can't I? Did you forget your promise with me?

You said you'd let her continue work at TNC.

If she finds out about me how she got the job, she'll quit the company.

So be careful.

Don't worry. I won't tell her.

Keep the promise. You must keep the secret.

Okay, don't worry.

But if you show any feelings left for her, I'll get rid of her out of your sight.

So forget her completely.

Don't worry. Once I move to Qingdao upon marriage,

...I'm never to meet her again.

Give her to me.

No, Mrs. Seo. No.

Then let me raise her. I'll raise her as my daughter.

I'll live in hiding and not cause trouble to Dr. Seo.

Give her to me, please.

How come the haves are all the same?

Mom.

I'm sorry I caused pain to the family.

Don't be sorry. It's me who should be sorry for being such a poor mother.

Mom.

Esol, be frank with me.

Have you ever felt bad about being my daughter?

I couldn't raise you in wealth or put you through college...

...but made you earn a living to pay debts.

If you had rich parents, you wouldn't have had to break up with him.

Still, you don't blame me?

If I do, are you going to pay me back?

You want me to? Should I pay you back?

How? Will you give me up for adoption into a rich family?

Not a bad idea. Then I'll let you live in comfort with their money.

First, I will buy you a small house and pay for your back surgery.

If there's still money left...

Do you want me to get you a restaurant? A barbeque restaurant.

Stop that nonsense.

So don't talk nonsense.

Being born as your daughter is the greatest blessing in my life.

Even if a billionaire is my real mom, I won't give you up.

Oh, that's my girl.

Don't worry. I will devote myself to work.

Yes. You got a job with difficulty so be thankful and work hard.

Oh, I might be late! I'll get going.

Why?

Take it off.

Why? This is an it item these days.

This is an important day. No provocative red lips.

Stay still.

Redo the lips. In natural pink.

Okay!

Gosh. Looks like me, seems like me, but not me.

Do it right. Choose fine-sounding words for the Chairman.

Your life, my life, and the fate of my hospital are up to him. Understood?

Yes, Mother.

Satisfied?

Don't act up.

You were here.

Hi, Heera!

Mother.

Hi.

Something's wrong?

Yura, go in first.

Yes.

What's wrong? What's the matter?

Like one bad apple to spoil the barrel. She's getting on my nerves.

Who is?

Jaejoon almost ran into Esol on our way here.

You know this is an important day.

I was anxious about whether or not his mind might reel again.

This is ridiculous. Why do you still have her?

Just give her the ax right away.

I can't.

If Jaejoon finds out, he'll make a fuss and break off the engagement.

What should I do?

Then make her quit the job on her own.

How?

They look good together.

What a perfect, beautiful couple.

Father, please give him special lessons.

I wish him to be half as good as you are to your wife.

Yura is your fan.

She likes you since you're such an affectionate husband.

Really?

Okay. I'll give him private lessons for you until you get married.

Honey, you said there's something you want to ask Dr. Choi.

Dr. Choi. How far is the Qingdao Hospital project advanced?

This is the project document.

I discussed the details of the project with our Chinese partner.

Upon your approval, we're planning on completing within 6 months.

So the question is funding, right?

Alright. I'll sign it as my wedding gift to the kids.

Oh, Mr. Park.

Honey.

I gave my word to her earlier...

...that I'll support Jaejoon's hospital if Minjoon's project goes wrong.

Honey, thank you so much.

In fact, I didn't expect it since I thought Minjoon's project was a done deal.

Who would've known it would flounder like that?

I feel sorry to Minjoon.

No need to feel sorry. Jaejoon is lucky.

Jaejoon, you're confident, right?

I'm investing big money so you should throw yourself into it with yout life.

You'll do well, right?

Why don't you answer?

Yes, I will try.

Have no worry, Father. I will take good care of him.

Good. Just do as your mother-in-law does.

What is this?

I was too busy for lunch. So I asked your secretary for some snacks.

We brought some of our new menus. Try them.

Bring some beverages too.

They are coming.

Father, try this please. It's warm.

Thank you. You're the best.

Jaejoon, you should be good to her.

Yes.

Hey, aren't you going to serve them?

Yes.

Ms. Esol Kang?

Wait. Do you know each other? How?

Pardon? Well...

We made the acquaintance of each other in Kaohsiung.

Oh. Ms. Kang, you lived in Taiwan, right?

What a tie we have. Well, these are my family.

Excuse me then.

Let me go wash my hands.

This is delicious.

Wait.

We need to talk.

Now that explains how I got a job here.

Esol.

You don't have to make an excuse. I will quit.

Quit? Why? Because of me?

How can I work here when I found out everything?

I entered TNC not by my ability, but by your pity and this is your company.

So how? How can I work here?

Continue work. There's no reason you can't.

You joined TNC not by your ability, but my pity? Wrong.

My brother made it clear he wouldn't hire you if not competent.

Jaejoon.

Our company? If I weigh on your mind, don't worry.

I'll move to Qingdao upon getting married. So continue work.

No. I appreciate your words, but no thank you.

You may say this is no time for me to stand on pride,

but I'm not that pathetic to mooch off my ex-boyfriend.

Good luck with your engagement. I wish you happiness with Yura Seo.

Continue work! Don't quit!

For that reason, I broke up with you.

I really had your best interests in mind.

I wanted to protect you from being hurt because of me...

...and let you live as it is now...

...without getting hurt.

Only if I leave you, everything will remain the same.

So in order to protect you,

...I decided...

Work here.

No one will hurt you now. So work here.

And later when you can carve out a career for yourself, you can quit then.

You know,

...though I am far away, I'll be happy to hear that you are doing okay.

So stay.

Here's your meat.

We ordered only four servings.

It's service.

I want to pay the bill.

Yes, coming!

So many customers.

No. 3 Table.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Customers rush like a flood so I have no time to rest.

Yangsoon, a big problem. Take a look at this.

[Esol, can you guess the profound meaning of these shoes?...]

What is this?

I found it while cleaning Dongu's room.

I think he has feelings for Esol.

No, never. I can't pair her off with Dongu.

Yangsoon, give it a thought.

Although we are fond of each other, they are promising young people.

It's not that.

Your family is too poor.

I can't let her suffer hardships all her life. No.

No, I can't give her to Dongu.

Yangsoon.

Geez, she's no better than Jaejoon's mom.

Poor or rich, women are after better-off guys.

Relax. You'll be alright.

I can't. I'm so scared...

...that someone I don't know might be watching me.

How could that person unlock my car? That scares me too.

We'd better report it to the police.

No, don't.

Lena.

No. There's a lesson I learned as I've lived alone.

When I lived alone in Korea and in America, I've been in this situation.

I called the police every time, but they were of no help.

Rather, I suffered retaliation or was treated as an odd bird.

There's no one else to protect me but me.

I see. You must be shocked. Get some rest.

I'm really sorry for today.

I got you wrong and caused you much inconvenience.

Thank you. Good night.

Lena.

I'll come with you. I'm worried about sending you in alone.

It's okay, Mr. Park. You don't have to...

Let's go.

It's Suite 202, right?

How did you know?

I took you home the other day when you were drunk.

So it was you.

I'm ashamed to make a spectacle of myself.

Go in.

No, you go first.

Go in. I'll leave after seeing you're safe.

I came home safe. I'll be alright.

What are you going to do?

This is enough. We'd better call the police.

No. Don't call the police.

I just started a broadcasting career. Creating gossip won't help.

Let's pack your stuff. You'd better move to a hotel.

No. You may go back. I can clean it up myself.

Just listen to me! What if something terrible happens to you?

Mr. Park.

Sit here.

Honey, try this.

You're stressed out because of Minjoon.

Eating colorful foods is good for your mental health.

My. You must've been General Yi or King Sejong in your previous life.

Thank you for regarding me as such a great man.

That's very convenient.

I mean you got a perfect wife because you saved the nation in your past life.

Mom, just eat.

Okay.

By the way, is Minjoon busy preparing for a move to America?

I think so.

I think so. He left his office this afternoon and hasn't called me.

He must be messed up in the head.

It's Jaejoon who's messed up in the head. He shuts himself in his room.

What's there to worry? I did everything for him.

Jaejoon! Jaejoon!

Honey, leave him alone.

Since he gets engaged before Minjoon

and you support his hospital in Qingdao first,

...I think he feels sorry to Minjoon.

He's so soft-hearted.

Don't worry about Minjoon.

He said himself that he is not interested in Lena anymore.

When he returns from America, find a good match for him.

Drink this. It'll ease your mind.

I checked the window and the door.

I changed the door code too, so you'll be alright.

I'll have an employee find a place for you tomorrow.

Mr. Park.

I'll let you rest.

Don't go.

Please don't go. I'm so scared that I can't stay alone.

Please.

Why didn't you eat?

Feeling restless ahead of an engagement?

No.

Oh. Can't believe you've grown up to get engaged.

It seems like yesterday that I changed your diaper.

Jaejoon, do you know who the happiest man is?

It is not someone who is rich or handsome or has power.

It is someone who has a good wife.

Minjoon is in several minds like that because he didn't meet the right woman.

I should've stopped him at that time but...

...it was my mistake to let him have his way.

I'm thankful and proud of you to marry the girl your parents chose.

You should live happily for Minjoon's sake too, okay?

Okay, I will.

Good.

Now I'm relieved about you, but what should I do with him?

I wish he'd marry the right woman before it's too late.

Don't you have sleeping pills? You need to sleep.

I'm truly sorry that you can't go home because of me.

Don't worry about me.

I'm really sorry about the other day.

I mean, at the hotel.

Come to think of it, you helped me out of genuine concern but I got you wrong.

The truth is, I experienced the same in America.

My boss was really nice to me so I trusted and obeyed him, but it was poison to me.

What do you mean?

One day, he seduced me.

When I refused him, he spread a false rumor...

...that I seduced him to get a promotion.

I was subjected to racism and even got fired.

That was not all. Wherever I worked,

...the taint that I had an affair with a married boss lingered.

My life in America ended in failure like that.

But now I see...

...that you cherish your wife so much just as I read in the article...

...that you won't have an affair with me,

...and that you helped me out of pity.

It's not that.

I didn't help you out of pity.

Remember I asked you to come with me to the Jinmao Tower?

Yes. You asked to go there together if we go to Shanghai.

We couldn't go there though.

Do you know what I was going to tell you there?

You said you'd tell me everything about yourself.

What were you going to tell me?

I met a woman in New York 10 years ago.

I was exhausted from studying abroad for a long time,

...so I helplessly fell for her.

And I bulled my way to marry her three months after I first met her.

So she's your wife now.

Then...

She didn't appear at the wedding.

I waited and waited for her when I couldn't get hold of her.

How did it go?

She didn't come after all, and sent me a text message.

'I cannot marry you. Forget about me.'

No way. How could that happen?

It happened to me.

To cover up family dishonor, I've pretended to be married until now.

This is what I was going to tell you there.

Why me?

I've completely forgotten for 10 years...

...that I can...

...love someone again.

If you feel uncomfortable, forget what I told you.

I don't.

In fact, I too...

...had feelings for you but...

...since I thought you're a married man...

...I gave up.

How can I dare to love you.

How can I...No, I can't.

What?

Are you turned on again?

Can't even wear stockings freely.

Honey, it's not that.

No! It's Yura's engagement day.

It's not that. Listen to me.

Don't say. You're taken in by my sexy legs.

Honey, you have a hole in your stockings.

What?

Why didn't you tell me earlier? Gosh.

Father, Mother.

What am I hearing?

Yura.

Father, Mother. Thank you for having raised me so far.

I'm glad you know that.

Now you'll become a real adult. So quit going on a bender as of today.

I'm going to cry.

I hate to give you to him. Yura.

-Dad. -Come here.

Let's have a drink after my engagement.

-Okay. -What?

You're really going too far. Drink?

Yura, a wife is like 'Home' to her husband.

A wife giving him a shelter and protecting him in times of trouble.

You should be such a wife to Jaejoon. Okay?

Wife like home.

That's why I always wish to leave home.

What? One, two, three!

Okay, okay. I'll go start the car.

By the way, I don't have to mind Esol?

Jaejoon will be mine once we're engaged. I don't want him to run into her.

Now you are like his fiancee.

Don't worry. We'll get rid of her out of sight before the engagement.

You may say this is no time for me to stand on pride,

but I'm not that pathetic to mooch off my ex-boyfriend.

Good luck with your engagement. I wish you happiness with Yura Seo.

I'm texting you since you might be hesitating.

This is the last favor I ask of you. Continue work. Please.

Work here. No one will hurt you now.

So continue work.

And later when you can carve out a career for yourself, you can quit then.

Yes.

Now?

Where shall we meet?

Heera! Jaejoon!

Tada!

You scared me. What is this?

Mom, how do you like this?

-This is... -What is it?

It's my Mother's Day gift for you. Clean your room with this.

Oh, how thoughtful of you.

Changsoo, I want you to get married like Jaejoon next Mother's Day.

I couldn't sleep at all worrying about you.

What are you talking about? It's me who couldn't sleep because of your snoring.

Really?

Heera!

Did she leave already?

-Mom, try it. -Okay.

Jaejoon is getting engaged shortly, so I'll make it short.

What are you going to do?

Don't say you'll continue work at TNC.

I know how you think of me now.

I broke your pure love and forced my son to marry without a grain of love.

I might look like a callous snob to you.

But you'll see as you grow old...

...that love isn't everything in life...

...and there are things more valuable than love.

I know you too are a precious child of someone else,

...so I don't want to treat you harshly anymore.

I want you to make your position clear now.

Pardon? What do you mean?

Turn in your resignation. That'll be good for both of you.

If there are livelihood issues, I can take care of them.

I trust you will get your affairs straight today. Excuse me.

Mother.

Do you know?

Jaejoon is sick.

What?

Sick?

Yes, he is sick.

Last time he fainted before me.

If you keep pushing him against his will, he'll get worse.

Where and how is he sick?

Do you know him better than I do?

How dare you try to trick me? So what?

I want to do what he wants.

What does my son want?

He wanted to protect something by even breaking up with me.

I will protect it, too.

I promise you one thing though.

I will not see him again.

I will sort out my feelings for him and never disturb his life.

So you mean, you won't hand in your resignation?

No. I will remain as an employee of TNC.

You're no ordinary type. Really insolent.

Well, since you're that insolent, you could dare to date my son.

Alright. If you're that confident, I'll accept it.

Esol Kang as an employee of TNC? Alright.

But I can't fully trust you yet, so show me a proof.

Proof? Like what?

Jaejoon's engagement is today at 2.

Come and help the ceremony as a TNC employee.

Mother.

You assured me you'll sort out your feelings for him.

So there's no reason you can't come.

Make sure to come.

It won't do him any good. So Mother, please...

I know my son better than you do!

Mother.

How dare.

If you're that concerned, turn in your resignation and don't show up.

I'll watch you.

Hey, Kim.

My son gets engaged today. The bride?

Do you know Myongjin Clinic?

Yes, the cosmetic surgery hospital.

She's the only heiress of that hospital. Yes.

Of course I'm happy. Yes.

Sure.

Yes. Okay, bye.

Aren't hydrangeas beautiful?

They are. What's the meaning of hydrangeas?

It's Woman's Dream.

Dream?

I like it. I want a bunch of these flowers.

Okay. Is there a happy occasion?

Happy occasion?

Well, I can make it happen.

What's this for?

You're stuck in the office all day, not knowing the weather outside.

Look at the flowers and feel the change of seasons.

Tell me. Something good happened to you, huh?

Does it show?

You're blossomed today. Just like this.

What is it? What's the happy occasion?

You should give me good news.

Did you persuade her to accept me as a regular?

It's a headache.

Heeyon is too stubborn to listen to me.

I called her to come. Have it out with her.

Director.

Oh, Heeyon.

Hi, Heeyon Jeong.

Heeyon Jeong?

Did you call me because of her? Forget it.

Heeyon, please. Come sit over here.

Let's talk.

If you tell me to give her a regular spot in my show, I will quit.

Heeyon, the management wants her and advertisers prefer her.

So take one step back and...

I said I can't.

So why? You need a reliever to stop ratings from falling.

And Lena is the right person.

If you must oppose, give me convincing reasons.

Convincing reasons? I can write a book about them.

First, she's disgusting. Second, she's disgusting.

Third, she's so disgusting. So I don't like her.

What should I do to win your favor?

What?

You said the other day, 'No forgiveness, no communication.'

You want me to apologize to you?

Apologize?

Yes, then apologize to me properly.

Yes, do it. If that's what she wants, why not?

I...

...can't apologize to you.

Come to think of it, I didn't do anything wrong. So what should I do?

You've got a lot of gall.

See Director? She's that kind of wench.

So how can I work with her?

I will never accept her.

What are you doing? I barely arranged the meeting.

Even if I had apologized to her, nothing would change.

She hasn't slightest intention to accept me.

Then do you give up?

No. I will find other ways.

Are you telling me to wear this?

Ms. Jeong, this is...

Since you prepare a lousy dress like this, ratings go down.

Will you take responsibility if it ruins my show? How?

I'm sorry.

Saying sorry doesn't fix anything.

You know my situation. Why even you?

Ratings upset me, the man at home upsets me. I'm going nuts.

So why even you!

I will go get another...

No need! It's obvious what kind of dresses you'll get.

I'm going to change the stylist.

The man at home upsets me. I'm going nuts!

I overheard everything while I was passing by.

Seems this isn't the first time. How can you work with her?

She has a fiery temper.

Are you going to keep working with her?

I need a stylist too. Can you help me?

I've watched you. You have an exceptional sense of style.

Please help me.

Well...

Ms. Jeong is having a hard time now so I can't leave her.

Why? She has everything and doesn't lack anything.

It's okay. I need to know so I can understand her.

I shouldn't tell you.

Actually, I heard a strange rumor...

....that her husband troubles her.

How did you know that? It shouldn't be known.

So it was true.

He has an affair with...

No. His having an affair must not be known.

Don't worry. My lips are sealed.

Next, Mr. Jaejoon Park and Ms. Yura Seo will make a bow of gratitude...

...to their families. Could you please stand up?

Please make a bow. Attention, bow.

Would you give them a round of applause?

What a beautiful couple. Please bless them with a round of applause.

If you can't show up, write your resignation.

Esol, go to the main branch VIP room now.

Mr. Park's son has an engagement and they're short-handed.

Me?

Then should I go? You're in the lowest rank so you go.

But...

Hurry!

Love embraces not only the strength, but also the weakness of each other.

We will love each other unconditionally and go the same way in unison.

How dare she come here.

Oh my. What's with her? She didn't quit the job yet?

Mother said she'll kick her out by all means.

What are you talking about?

It's true. She said she'll fire her before our engagement.

Follow me.

Stop!

With the marriage news, it'll be only a matter of time before I rise to the top.

Leave for Los Angeles as planned.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I wish I had been born to a rich family.

That little baby has grown into a lady.

Are you asking for the money you spent to raise her?

Now we confirmed our love to each other. I can't do anything without you.

Go in!

Don't linger around my son anymore. Get out of his life.
