It's good to see you again.

I'm sorry for dragging you out here like this.

No, don't worry about it.

I got the whole story from Yoon Jung.

I feel bad for making you arrange this,

but I really needed to tell you something

so I made it work.

I figured you had something to say.

I still have evidence from that old case.

From the murder evidence

to the killer's blood, I have it all.

You can expose the truth

about who killed your sister.

How does that evidence still exist?

I was sure they took it all from your office.

I'm sure they did.

However...

I kept the autopsy report and the bloodstain evidence

in separate envelopes.

As you said, they did take it,

probably forcing the drawer open.

In the process,

the blood evidence envelope

must have slid behind the drawer.

So they only found the autopsy report,

and the envelope with the bloodstain evidence got stuck behind the drawer.

It was returned to me with my things from the hospital.

How can that be?

After finding the evidence,

I went to great lengths to locate you.

Knowing they had missed it,

I urgently wanted to get it to you.

But everyone said that you were dead.

And just like that, about 20 years went by.

Can we...

still use the blood evidence after all these years?

Yes, definitely.

It bothered me so I held on to it.

[Ihwachae]

I will have my belongings in USA sent to Korea.

With the forensic tools available now,

we can absolutely determine who the killer is.

Thank you.

Thank you, Doctor.

Not at all.

My only worry is that this may be too late.

The statute of limitations has passed,

which makes it hard to punish them legally.

I knew from the start that

taking legal action would be difficult.

I've been planning to settle the score my own way,

and that evidence will be the ultimate card I play.

Oh Jung Ran is here.

Just in case, you should leave before she sees you, Doctor.

Are you Mrs. Han,

who owns this place?

That's right.

Are you here to get a hanbok made?

Don't I need a reason to order one first?

You...

The hanbok shop is a front for your matchmaking service.

Well...

Ihwachae doesn't just take anyone.

"Just anyone"?

"Just anyone," you said?

I'm Oh Jung Ran, Adele Group's owner's wife!

You handed Kim Myeong Hui

a gold card invitation,

and ignored me, the Chairman's wife,

and my son, the true heir!

Set us up with the family you picked for her.

No!

Find my son an even better family!

I invited Director Kim Myeong Hui, not you.

I have nothing to discuss with you.

Please go.

What?

Please see our guest out.

Wh-What's going on here? What is this?

Why are you doing this to me?

Get off me. Stop it!

Hands off me. Hey!

I told you to release me!

[Profile, Kim Myeong Hui]

All right, please contact me.

Of course. When it arrives, Yoon Jung will drop it off.

Hold on just a moment.

Has your daughter been well lately?

She has, thanks to you.

How about your nephew? Is he well?

- He is. - Once the evidence arrives,

you'll be able to meet her.

I will have to rely on my daughter to retrieve it.

"Rely" on her?

I plan to send it to my daughter's private Post Office Box.

Because I'm constantly on business trips abroad,

I started using it as a way to send her presents.

It's quicker and safer than any other way.

You need a specific key for the PO Box,

and they also require ID verification.

When the evidence arrives,

my daughter will get it from her PO Box.

I’ve always wondered what she grew up to be like.

I will get to see her soon then.

Once you receive the evidence, let's all meet with the children.

I'll reach out to you then.

I said to release me! Let me go!

Hey!

Do you even know whom you're messing with?

How could you just drag me out like that?

Noonim!

Oh, you... Hey!

She's mine!

No matter how prestigious this place,

that was completely out of line.

Hey, hey!

Won't you even respond?

What trouble did you cause this time?

Why are you acting so weak now?

First you stick up for me,

then you scold me like you have no courage.

It's not about lacking courage.

I'm trying to protect your dignity here.

They would disdain you more if I confronted you publicly.

You should have hit them instead of just talking.

Those punks...

ran off.

Here, at least take this.

Did you get hurt? Show me.

There's nothing to see.

- Let me check for injuries. - Oh, come on.

Once I get that evidence,

I will reveal your crimes to the world.

Even Chairman Park can't make

a murderer's son his heir.

I'll seize Adele Group like that,

hand it over to Min Jun,

and get my sister the justice she deserves.

After all of that...

Can I finally return to living as...

Kim Dan Hui, not pretending to be my sister?

For the leather strap,

maybe we should've gone with a darker shade.

I worry that it reflects my own taste too much.

I love it.

Don't be so nice about it.

I'm being fully honest with you.

It's a handmade watch you crafted just for me.

Moreover, we match so I love it twice as much.

You know, once I become a jewelry designer,

my goal is to craft custom jewelry perfectly for each client.

Something that captures

their story, preferences, and aspirations.

No doubt you will do well.

You wove our story into this watch.

Each glance at it fills me with hope for our future together.

Same here.

I hope we can be together forever.

Okay, your turn. What did you think of my gift?

That's... Sorry, I still haven't opened it.

You still haven't?

I promised my dad I would always open his gift first on my birthday.

Let's open it together.

Wow!

As expected of my dad!

How did he know I needed one?

Look at this pearl. Isn't it really pretty?

Yes, so pretty.

Come on.

Now open the one from me.

All right.

Hold on, what's this?

♪ After meeting you ♪

What's this?

Are you going to the UK with me?

Did you really think I'd let you go alone?

While you study in jewelry school,

I will study business at a UK university.

And once we've both graduated...

I'll give you

a proposal you'll never forget.

♪ You are another version of me ♪

♪ When I look at you, I can see how beautiful my future could be ♪

[Adele Group: New Design Competition]

Seriously, when will they release the results?

Baek Jin Ju...

She acts so superior about studying abroad in the UK.

I must win this and put her in her place.

This is so frustrating.

You're Choi Yu Na, right?

Wait, aren't you that guy from the library?

Oh, from back then.

I'm sorry,

but I have no interest in people like you.

Thank you. I feel the same way.

Baek Jin Ju is the one I’m interested in.

"Baek Jin Ju"?

They say you and Baek Jin Ju are friends.

For a brother-like friend,

and a brother who's basically a friend,

I need to verify a few details about her.

Whatever.

She pushes people out of her way so easily.

She was literally born... a total brat.

Don't similar people tend to stick together?

So is Baek Jin Ju equally horrible?

Right.

Secretly investigating people isn't my style.

When I need answers, I ask the person directly.

Why are you in my room?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm waiting for you.

I stumbled onto something truly fascinating.

They changed my elective classroom

so I was lost roaming the halls, when suddenly...

I saw you and your girlfriend.

Pretend you didn't see that.

Will you do me that favor?

A "favor"?

Are you actually asking me for a favor?

After all my effort to win you over,

you grouped me with Mrs. Oh,

to send us away, yet now you need a favor?

You punk!

You must be serious about her.

Right?

Is that why you caused such a mess?

[University College of Business and Management, Birmingham]

With your skills, I’m sure you were accepted.

The real question is whether this family will allow it.

No, that's not it.

It's about whether you can overcome your mother.

She was set against you going abroad, right?

That's why you dropped your U.S. plans during the college entry exam.

I will definitely go this time.

There it is.

That's exactly my point!

Why else would a dutiful son

suddenly cause trouble like this?

Is Baek Jin Ju headed to the UK as well?

How do you know Jin Ju?

Come on, I'm popular at school.

Tracking down that kind of info is easy.

From what I hear, she studies design,

and she strikes me as a rude brat...

According to whom?

You've never gotten this angry before.

Is this the effect Baek Jin Ju has on you?

Do you like her that much?

Why? What do you like so much about her?

Okay, keep quiet if you'd rather not share.

- I'll go check on my own. - Hey!

What?

I just...

I just like her.

Your answer lacks sincerity.

The reason why I like her has never crossed my mind.

All that matters to me...

is that I want to stay by her side.

I want to be with her.

It makes me envision a different future and firms my resolve.

That's why I'm trying to overcome it all:

every barrier at home, including our father.

Even your mother?

I'll find a way to convince her,

one way or another.

He has truly fallen hard,

which only fuels my curiosity even more.

Baek Jin Ju.

Looks tasty, doesn't it?

- Ahjumma. - Yes?

- Can you check the seasoning for me? - Absolutely, of course!

- Here. - Okay.

It's on the milder side,

which is perfect for your dad’s taste.

I know my dad's palate well.

That's right.

You must be thrilled to see your father after so long.

Yes.

I turn into a giddy child whenever his visit is near.

I can imagine.

Since it's always been just you two,

naturally your bond is incredibly deep.

- That's not entirely true. - What?

You, Ahjussi, and Yu Na are my family, too.

What? Oh...

Well, of course.

Think of how long we've been together.

We're absolutely family.

What a sweetheart you are.

CEO Baek should arrive any moment.

Go get ready.

Let me take your apron.

Exactly. Off you go now.

- All right. - Sure, sure.

Why all this fuss?

Aigoo.

Why talk if you know nothing?

We must prepare a proper feast

so he can see that we take good care of Jin Ju,

and every won he wired each month for her actually went for her care.

We must make that crystal clear to CEO Baek.

You're going way overboard with this.

If you understand, then play along.

Tell him she has the coziest room in the house,

and we provided top-notch meals and outfits.

That's our version of events.

Understood?

Did you understand? This girl...

- Jin Ju! - Dad!

Yes.

Welcome, how have you been?

I've been great. How about you?

I’ve been so busy with work that I'm breathless.

- I see. - Aigoo. Without a doubt.

You made him CEO of the Korean branch.

There shouldn't be any talk

that the position was a favor between old pals.

We're committed to living up to your trust,

and we've been grinding nonstop...

I mean...

I actually meant to say,

we've put in our best efforts.

I see.

Anyway, let's sit down and eat first.

We're meeting after quite a while

so let's have a drink as friends.

- Of course. - Let's go.

"Friends"? Sure, right,

all while bowing until the hips tire out.

Forgive me for not writing after leaving my daughter in your care.

I truly appreciate all you've done for her.

Oh, it was nothing at all.

Once she started college,

she managed it all herself.

There was hardly anything for us to do.

That doesn't mean

she wasn't on our minds at all.

We were practically family in USA

so we were comfortable with each other.

Also, after arriving in Korea,

Jin Ju has been diligent even in college.

That's essentially his point.

Right, Honey?

That's right. My point exactly!

Jin Ju is just so brilliant.

She thrived in USA and has done well in Korea too.

If only our Yu Na

had even a fraction of that drive.

Enough already!

Gosh.

Yu Na was actually a huge help to me.

College and preparing to go abroad

would've been hard without Yu Na.

Yes, of course.

Jin Ju has a beautiful heart too!

That brat...

Oh, Yu Na.

Did she rush off to use the bathroom?

- That little punk. - Right?

She must not be feeling well.

- Anyway, it's nothing fancy, but... - Please, help yourselves.

- All right. - Let's eat.

Oh my.

Choi Yu Na, that little brat.

That crazy girl acted up, such a silly mistake.

Seriously.

I put my heart into setting the whole table,

and she did that nonsense?

- Gosh. - You were even worse.

What? What did I do?

You put on an accent, yet you can’t do it right.

"Right, Honey?"

Gosh.

Forcing the accent makes you look only tacky.

I felt embarrassed watching you around CEO Beak.

Acting coy works only if it suits you.

Geez, this little...

Never mind.

I'm refined and elegant...

You, "elegant"? That's hilarious.

Come on, stop it!

Hear all that nonsense pour out of your mouth.

Should I go get a sledgehammer

and split your skull wide open?

No need to take it to that level.

Must you be so extreme?

"A sledgehammer"? From a lady of your grace?

Honey,

please don't let your mind go there, all right?

Let me go.

Whatever, just find Yu Na quickly.

The moment Jin Ju leaves for England,

the monthly income will stop.

What if he strips your title once that happens?

We would be in real trouble.

We need to fix things before CEO Baek leaves.

Forget it.

No more walking cautiously for him.

I am preparing something.

What?

What? Am I leaving Yu Na's place then?

It would be great to stay together before my departure.

Why leave without saying goodbye, though?

About that...

I'll explain later when the time comes.

Sounds good?

All right.

Can I at least give my boyfriend a heads-up?

Min Jun always picks me up and drops me off.

He should know I'm staying at the hotel with you.

Has the boy been treating you that well?

Dad, his name is Min Jun, not "Boy."

And...

Min Jun will study abroad with me

at a university in England.

Really?

Then let me meet him before I take off.

If he's tagging along, I ought to meet the guy.

- Go ahead inside. - Okay.

What was all that about?

What are you saying?

Park Min Jun.

Is Park Min Jun going to England to study, too?

Is he going with you?

Yes, he is.

Choi Yu Na, you little punk!

Let me study in the UK, too.

What? "The UK"?

Is this because Jin Ju goes there?

You'll let me go, right?

What about the tuition fees?

How much is a year's tuition there?

Can't you even pay that for me, Dad?

Honestly, why do you need to study abroad?

Maybe Jin Ju, but you?

Beak Jin Ju, always Beak Jin Ju!

Why must you compare me to Baek Jin Ju every time?

You think I don't know how to compare you to other dads?

CEO Baek...

lets his daughter study abroad and do whatever she wants.

Yet you won't grant me this one wish.

You are not as successful as he is!

Gosh.

Why am I the only failure here?

Why do you always look down on me? Why?

That brat is unbelievable.

Maybe I've made life difficult for Yu Na this whole time.

I guess that's the reason Dad...

Choi Yu Na!

Good grief!

How could you say something so hurtful?

You get so upset whenever Jin Ju is mentioned.

Couldn’t you just quietly let it go on a day like today?

"A day like today"?

Must I watch what I say around Baek Jin Ju forever?

Would that really be so bad?

Who do you think pays for your food and clothes?

Keep your wits and be rational,

instead of preserving your pride.

If you'll talk like that, then just leave!

I don't want to hear it. Get out!

Aigoo.

If you're that desperate to study abroad,

then start preparing for it.

I'll arrange the money for your study abroad.

What are you saying?

Do you think I'll spend all my life

currying their favor?

I've ensured our family gets its share

so be patient.

Exactly.

At the end of the day, it's all about keeping our wits.

I'm done walking on eggshells around the Baeks.

It's done!

[Adele Group]

James,

make sure you pack and ship it yourself.

Yes, the box with the red pearl.

Yes, understood.

How did your work in Korea go?

I've verified it all, and my mind is made up.

It's time to put an end to this for good.

I can't believe the Adele family was behind that incident.

If that weren't enough, now there's this.

Our fates are intertwined in the most twisted, complex way.

- The car is all set. - Okay.

They're meeting at Ihwachae about Min Jun.

That's definitely about his marriage.

Now isn't the right moment.

We will be swamped once we get Dr. Baek's evidence.

Absolutely.

Ihwachae let us use their space last time.

I just hope they won't bother us over that.

Find out where she's going.

Yes, Sir.

And it's time to bring in the other party.

Understood.

I put together the paperwork just as you asked, Chairman.

The merger and acquisition won't be a problem.

I even did a contract under an alias

to help you

embezzle conveniently.

So besides the money we already agreed to,

you are now asking for Adele shares too?

Please consider it from my perspective.

I’m betraying my childhood friend and colleague of 15 years,

to sell his company behind his back.

I will have to stay on the run for a few years to avoid him.

Spending my life running from him,

I will eventually burn through all the cash.

I need some shares

to at least make some profit from this.

I'm not asking for a lot.

If you could reconsider my share,

the deal will complete without any trouble.

Forget the deal!

What...

I am not making any deal with Adele Group.

What if Kim Myeong Hui marries her son into a rich family?

I can't let that happen. I'll do whatever it takes to stop her.

Studying abroad is not allowed!

I'm an adult. I don't need your permission.

I'm sorry.

The director ordered it so I have no choice.

I need you to go talk to Jin Ju for me.

Me? You ask me to meet Baek Jin Ju?

Do you expect me to go beg Baek Jin Ju?

- Why don't you kill me instead? - Choi Yu Na!

I'm not talking about myself. So kill CEO Baek, not me.
