Original subtitles

You're too poised.

What is it?

How did you know here is the right question.

Nice house.

So it was true the late Mr. Ah offered you the full treatment.

This is my residence, not the hotel.

You're too calm when Monet became the CEO.

Since you were full of confidence, I thought you had a hole card.

How disappointing.

It won't help if people see you here.

You still have a chance. Monet is a short-lived CEO.

It's impossible to meet 100% of the sales goal in 3 months.

With Mr. Yi waiting for a chance to attack...

...and Mr. Yoon antsy to take advantage of her,

...that naive girl ignorantly brims over with enthusiasm, huh?

I feel a bit sorry for her.

Well, maybe I envy her.

She's in the dark about how nasty human beings can be.

I think Monet is cute.

Which side are you on? Monet? Mr. Yi?

Neither.

Tell me, so that I can fish or cut bait.

I'm on your side, you know.

Remember?

I came here for you.

How did you smell the food?

I bought snacks for you.

A fire started in the hotel kitchen.

- How come? - More importantly,

Ms. Ah is locked inside.

This is nuts. What should we do?

Oh, Woohyon.

Where's Ms. Ah?

She's still locked in there.

All the fire engines moved out to fight the fire in the forest.

I'm worried they might arrive here too late.

Hey, Woohyon. What are you doing?

Hey.

- Woohyon! - Woohyon!

What happened?

Mr. Cha. A fire broke out.

We called 911, but they might come late.

Woohyon rushed into the fire since Ms. Ah is in there.

- Why are you doing this? - Please don't go in.

Ms. Ah.

Ms. Ah.

Wake up.

Don't fall asleep. Hang in there.

Woohyon.

Yoonjae...Yoonjae...

Let's get out of here.

Are you crazy? 911 is almost here. Wait.

- Don't stop me! - You might die!

I don't care.

Jaewan.

I must save Monet...

...at any risk.

Mr. Cha.

Listen carefully. No one else is here.

I'm sorry?

You didn't see him or me here. Do you understand?

Let's get out of here together.

- Hurry, get out quickly. - Mr. Cha.

Are you gonna let her die?

You must live.

- Are you okay? - Woohyon, you're incredible.

- Is Ms. Ah okay? - Ms. Ah!

Come on, hurry.

My legs hurt. Come this way.

Mr. Yi, please take a look at this.

in Ciel Hotel with the New CEO>

What a headline.

Thanks. You may go in.

Let's go, Vince.

Where are you going? Hey.

Hi, Ms. Baek. What brings you here?

Seems you enjoyed watching fire.

The entire hotel is in an uproar, but you look amused.

Slant down your eyes.

Stop. Right there. That face is good.

You seem to misunderstand me.

I'm also worried and distressed due to recurrent mishaps.

Are you? I see.

Now that Monet became the CEO,

...do I look that easy to you?

Of course not.

Then who do you think I am?

You don't have to answer.

What's important is that I still need you.

Keep up the good work.

Bastard.

You feel so anxious that you cannot sleep?

How about taking a trip?

- We're doing our best. - Why don't you think it over once again?

I'd say you'd better break up with her.

You have a beautiful voice.

Oh. Thank you, sir.

Oh, nothing. Yes. Thank you.

It took us 1 hr. 28 min. to sort out the mess.

That's OCD.

By the way, Woohyon is such a romanticist.

He rushed into the fire to save his love.

He'd be my style if he were rich.

He's the 82nd man of your style this month.

And you are far from it.

Oh. Thank you.

We should've performed an exorcism.

It was my fault not to put my foresight into practice.

Woohyon will probably be rewarded, huh? Like get a bonus.

How short-brained you are.

He wouldn't settle for less than he desires.

"Thank you, Woohyon. You are my savior. Be my fiance."

"I want the rest of my life with you."

"Please don't turn me down. Marry me."

"You are mine."

As soon as they fall in love, Ciel will fall into his hands.

And I'm his close friend.

You guys took pains.

We've dealt with customers' complaints.

Do your duties as usual.

We are not stirred. Little kids are, but we are adults.

Dajeong, you went through trouble.

Weren't you surprised?

Call me. I'll take you home.

Okay!

Okay.

Work hard.

Oh my gosh. He's gonna take me home when we're not close?

He's a bit too outspoken.

Modern medicine keeps advancing, but seems there's no remedy for her.

Oh, shocks!

Ma'am, you scared me.

How do you do?

Pardon?

How do you do? Glad to meet you.

Well, could I take you home?

How kind you are.

Please.

He left hospital without a word.

Is his condition critical?

Not really. We gave him first aid. It won't leave him scars.

I think you need treatment, too.

I'm okay. I'll contact Yoonjae Eun.

No, Dad.

Don't go.

I'm scared.

Dad, I'm scared.

Thank you for being alive.

Go back. People might see you.

Just as I expected.

You didn't see a doctor.

I wasn't injured anywhere.

Jaewan.

You were injured.

- I'm just not okay. - I knew it. You didn't look okay.

Since you know me that well, guess you know I won't let you in.

You know me well, too.

Let me see.

Don't touch me.

You're still like that.

I thought you'd be alright now.

I'll let you do it yourself. I brought what you'd need.

Thanks.

Oh.

How is our young CEO?

Heard nothing of her. She's probably alright.

So it was worthwhile to risk your life to save her.

You weren't yourself when you were rushing into the fire.

You looked like you could die with her.

Maybe.

Ciel has barely recovered from the shock of Ms. Ah's death.

If the new CEO goes wrong,...

No.

It wasn't for Ciel. It was for Monet.

Why?

I'll get going. I don't want to ask anymore.

Make sure to get treatment.

Because I couldn't let my sister die like my father.

Don't you know me?

I am Monet, the CEO of Ciel.

This is mutiny.

Bring back my cell phone, laptop, and TV remote control.

Remember what you said this morning?

"You are the savior of my life. I'll grant your wish," you said.

I did.

And your wish was, "No communication, no visitors."

Isn't it too much?

You need complete rest. Please lie down.

Just give me my cell phone. I need to call the company.

I spoke with Mr. Jang.

Things were resolved well and everything is fine. Don't worry.

Mr. Jang? Didn't Mr. Cha call?

No.

No wonder. He must be happy that I'm in hospital.

I had a nightmare last night.

Am I the only one who was injured?

You said you were alone.

Yes. I was alone.

There was no one else.

Who could be injured then?

By the way, aren't you gonna go to work?

I got days off as a reward for saving you.

I'll take a little nap. Don't go anywhere.

Where are you going?

To the restroom.

You made me a hero to save her. I feel like a liar.

No. It's true you saved Ms. Ah.

You're trying to cover up Yoonjae, right? Why?

Would you believe it if I said it was for Ms. Ah?

Protect her until she is discharged.

Don't let anybody visit her.

Tell them she needs absolute rest.

Why me?

You are the only reliable man I can find around Ms. Ah.

Alright.

Which is your true color?

The one that pushed her into the water or the one that saved her from the fire?

Both.

Or maybe, neither of them.

You're in hiding at home?

I set fire. Haul me off.

The chairwoman provoked me first.

So I set fire in a fit of anger. Haul me off.

No, I can't.

She didn't say anything in order to protect you.

Cut the crap. Just take me. Or I'm gonna turn myself in.

Arson and attempted murder.

You'll probably rot in jail for 15 years since you're a minor.

Attempted murder? I didn't do that.

Knowing that people were lodging in the hotel, you set it on fire.

That's attempted murder.

Didn't the man who gave you the money tell you that?

This isn't the pay for that. I just...

I'll give you three days.

If you don't own up who abetted you,

...I'll risk my all to cast you out from society.

Bug off.

Wake up.

It's you yourself, not society that makes your life crappy.

If you feel aggrieved, succeed and step on them.

Bastard.

You got training though you entered Ciel with a fake ID.

Change the way you talk.

If you worked for Ciel even for a day,

...you are a hotelier.

Was it Jaewan?

No. He isn't that small.

If I can't find the true perp, Yoonjae might get hurt.

What am I talking about? I was alone.

It was an accident. Just an accident.

Ciel Hotel constantly suffers from mishaps these days.

There was a fire, believed to be arson, in Ciel Hotel on Tuesday night at 10.

The exact cause of the fire is unknown.

What are you doing here?

I think I had enough rest.

Ms. Ah.

Ms. Ah.

Is Ms. Ah still in hospital?

Yes.

This mishap was the result of my incompetence.

Who the heck is the rumormonger?

I'm trying to find out.

It's obvious Mr. Yi is behind it.

For the sake of the late Mr. Ah, please help his daughter.

Seems you got pretty close to Mr. Yoon.

Do you think so?

Don't be so wary of me.

I'm living quietly as you told me.

Hope you mean what you say.

I think I've aged now since I'm getting scared of you.

I'd better go alone. Join me later.

You'll probably hear all kind of things. They called an emergency meeting.

Don't worry.

If your approach doesn't work, hit them. That's your specialty.

Take it back.

It's yours.

My dad cherished it.

Don't give it to anybody. Keep it well.

In fact, I can't play the harmonica.

Now I see why he gave it to you.

He dropped me a hint that I could trust you.

Thanks for saving my life.

It wasn't me who saved you.

You left the hospital without the guardian's consent?

Who's my guardian? You?

Don't go in.

It's none of your business.

Do you even know why they gathered?

To rack their brains to kick me out.

No sale.

Are you confident?

I am Monet Ah.

Just remember this. No one in there is on your side.

And anyone is out here?

Yoonjae. You want to help him, don't you?

Keep your head straight.

She's still so reckless.

There are even video clips of her ridiculous fashion.

That's a shame on Ciel.

Not just her behavior, but her character also invites troubles.

If things go on like this, we're going to go bankrupt in 3 months.

I heard she hired a minor who did time for murder. Is it true?

You should take more rest.

You got together because of me. I should be present.

Absolutely.

All the board members are grinding the ax now.

Ms. Baek.

Let me give you a briefing.

Items on the agenda are your responsibility for bizarre fashion,

...the possibility of our company going bankrupt,

...and your employment of a minor ex-con.

We need your explanation.

Enough, Ms. Baek.

I think you are too harsh on our new CEO.

That's okay.

Her briefing is easy to understand.

Ms. Ah isn't to blame for the recent fire.

Only she knows the truth.

She was alone at the scene.

The recent fire was just an accident.

Don't make assumptions.

Please explain other suspicions too.

I still have time you agreed to give me.

I'll fix the problems and change things if needed. But...

...I never give up.

Is the preparation for Family Month events going well?

Sure. Except that we have to remodel the kitchen.

Oh. My friend working in the stock market said somebody's playing with Ciel stocks.

Did you know that?

Don't you know flour from flower?

How could you get the client buckwheat flowers instead of buckwheat flour?

Sorry.

Is that how you say sorry?

How can you not know flour from flower?

They sounded same.

Mr. Koh, I'm serious. Stop giggling.

I think it's him who feels most awful now.

He feels apologetic to the client.

Excuse me but how old are you? And when did you join Ciel?

I really don't understand why Koreans are so sensitive to age.

You're the headache.

Hi. You're working hard.

Oh. Her raining elegance.

When she was a newscaster, every college girl was her wannabe.

I cried a lot at her sudden marriage announcement.

If Ms. Ah were as half elegant as her, she wouldn't be criticized.

Half? She can't hold a candle to her.

She can't even stack up well against Ms. Song.

You know, everyone has their own style.

Ms. Baek lives on dew,

...Ms. Song lives on grace,

...and Ms. Monet Ah, our CEO lives on gossip.

You're so funny.

Right. Thanks to you, I'm full now.

I was taking a walk to compose myself.

Thanks for your feedback.

Moonjeong So.

Namshil Kim.

Soyeon Ha.

Well. You may leave.

What brings you here, Ms. Ah?

I have something to ask you.

As you see, I'm doing Yoga. Wait.

However hard you look, I'm perfect, huh?

I don't understand.

I really don't understand.

What do you want to ask?

Why do people think you are elegant?

My role models I studied since college years.

You studied all these women?

There are always reasons for success.

But you shouldn't be a copycat.

That explains your multiple personalities.

I must save Monet...

...at any risk.

So I can become elegant if I study them all, huh?

What?

I think I know why he risked his life to save you.

Your naivety stirs up the protective instinct.

But I might be wrong.

I must be wrong. Right?

I don't think my dad built the hotel on an unpropitious site.

A wonky lady a few days ago, and today it's you.

Let's talk about the restaurant contract.

Never heard of it? Weren't you briefed on it?

Of course I was. I am the CEO.

I gotta go. I'm busy.

This is serious.

They put a puppet in the CEO seat.

Oh my god.

God, forgive me for calling your name in vain, but the cart is moving on its own.

Mr. Jang, are you surprised?

Ms. So.

Don't do this.

Now, we row in one boat.

One boat?

No. I have no thoughts of remarrying.

- You're opposite of my ideal type. - Shh!

No. I don't want to.

Call.

There may be a bomb inside that blows up when we open it.

Well. In my opinion, it might be filled with black money.

Black money I've wished to see.

Mr. Jang, all I want are a pair of shoes and a purse.

You mean, we're going to intercept the money?

She can't report it to the police when it comes to black money.

You're wise and sagacious despite your looks.

Don't get excited. Let's keep our composure.

Again, don't get excited. Or we might fail.

This isn't secret money.

What are these secret snacks for?

Why...Why?

Doesn't Ms. Baek live on dew?

Maybe dew isn't enough to fill her stomach.

This might be gold.

No. It's chocolate. Can't believe it.

Ms. Baek!

Three months is shorter than you think.

You have no time to idly take a walk.

Idly? Can't you see I'm agonizing?

No.

Did you find ways to use Mr. Cha?

Not him. I won't use him or keep him by my side.

There's something you don't know.

Don't say you still believe he pushed you in the pool.

How can you possibly believe that he left you the video clip of his own crime?

That's why he is a bastard.

Anyways, I can't work with him.

Well. Please help me.

It's really hard for me.

You can say that only after you've done your best.

If you're done, excuse me.

Done my best?

Hi, Mr. Cha.

Why don't you come over for a meal instead of eating alone?

It's kind of you to say that.

Are you back from exercising?

I played tennis with my wife after a long time. I wasn't good.

Was my dad fired by any chance?

He comes home early these days and we're going on a family trip.

Isn't this fishy?

Oh, Dabbei.

I heard that you're tagging after your sister these days.

I don't care, but it seems you decided to give up.

Let's go.

It's obvious Mr. Yi is behind it.

Ms. Ah?

Ms. Ah, there's a flood.

What? Where? Where's a flood?

I had Woohyon bring the breakfast. Why did you bring it?

You're under my charge while you stay in this suite.

Mr. Cha asked me to do that.

Are you close to Mr. Cha?

Do you mean our personal relationship?

I know your business relationship. You're his pawn.

I want to know his hobbies in his free time,

...or some of his wicked acts in his school days,

...or love stories. Just anything.

I'm under no obligation to report his personal life to you.

Enjoy your breakfast.

If you were not gonna tell me, you could've said no.

Are you playing some love game with me now?

I can tell you one thing.

As far as I know, he's solely focused on Ciel.

Consider renewing some rooms.

Like character rooms for children or Korean-style rooms for foreigners.

It would be very costly to carry them out.

One causes trouble, the other cleans up after her.

Our CEO is blessed with her general manager.

Indeed.

I'll be back with a project proposal.

Make a list of subcontractors and suppliers.

Also, check new business partners and their connections to insiders.

Who is it that you're suspecting?

I just want to reorganize things with the new CEO.

Okay. I'll ask no more.

I feel a bit bad though. When everybody needs to unite efforts,

...employees are divided and execs are at each other's throat.

It's like a battlefield, isn't it?

Let's work.

It's a mystery Ms. Baek is so healthy. She rarely has meals.

Yes, she rarely eats.

Ms. Baek, how come you're so healthy?

I've never seen you eat.

I'm curious too.

I'm just not obsessed over food. No personal questions, please.

What's so funny?

Why don't you share with us?

Well. I'm just curious if you really live on dew.

If you do, I wonder how much and where you eat it.

Mr. Hoil Jang, Ms. Moonjeong So.

You had a secret talk at the staircase 3 days ago.

We had a private talk but...

What are you talking about?

Answer yes or no to my question.

Yes.

Ms. So.

In-house dating is prohibited. You'll get demerits.

"If Ms. Ah were as half elegant as Ms. Song, she wouldn't be criticized."

- Demerits. - Oh my.

I'm relieved that you held your ground despite the mishap.

I'm sorry I worried you a lot.

We still miss the late Mr. Ah, your father.

Make Ciel the place we've dreamed of together.

Thank you, Mr. Yoon.

Thanks to Mr. Cha's quick reaction, we controlled press reports.

We can find the source of the rumor soon, too.

Mr. Cha?

Yes.

I see. You may leave.

How can you possibly believe that he left you the video clip of his own crime?

The shoes.

They are different.

Who the heck is this guy?

Woohyon, drive the car. I need to visit somewhere.

I'm on duty now.

He's at your disposal. We don't need him.

- Noah. - Yes.

- Hustle him into the car. - Take good care of Ms. Ah.

If he doesn't listen, you may use violence.

Have a safe trip.

Go.

He's finally won her favor.

Wish Ms. Ah were an ordinary woman.

No way.

She's of little merit if she were an ordinary woman.

Then what's the merit of Ms. So?

Sorry?

Everybody knows it.

Why don't you remarry her? You're well-matched.

What are you talking about? Do you believe the rumor? It's a pure canard!

I'm not your secretary. People might think awry of this.

Yoonjae was there on the day of the fire.

I'm going to see him now.

I was scared to go alone,

...and I thought you're the only one I can trust.

Ms. Ah, the truth is...

Don't say anything. Please just drive.

I can't. Why are you telling me to do this?

You can't work here anymore anyways.

I'll get you another job. It's simple.

This is Ms. Ah's call history.

Her phone is full of selfies with few messages.

Now she's the CEO, not a VIP guest.

Should I continue to monitor her?

It's to protect her.

If you don't want to, you don't have to.

Alright. If you said it's for protection, it is.

Thanks.

You were at home.

Are you making a flowerbed?

What are you doing?

What do you want? Bug off, or I'm gonna set fire again!

I know you didn't set fire.

Yes, I did.

You probably also wished that I died there that day!

Yoonjae.

Bug off.

You should sincerely treat those who treat you sincerely.

Live straight,

...for the sake of Mr. Cha who saved you from the fire.

Woohyon, what did you just say?

It wasn't me who saved you both.

Had it not been for Mr. Cha, we all would've died.

Are we there already?

- Why did you take me here? - Mr. Cha left work early today.

So?

You tried to find words to apologize all the way here.

Go and apologize to him.

Wrong. I'm tired. Let's just go.

When everybody was at loss after the death of Mr. Ah,

...he alone stood firm and protected Ciel.

You feel sorry to him.

Just go and say what you practiced.

Well, it's true I misjudged him a little.

I should act as an appeaser since I'm the CEO, right?

I'll be right back. Stay put and wait here.

I'm sorry.

The moment I felt death,

...you appeared.

It wasn't a dream.

So, you couldn't find it?

It's okay.

He is shaken now.

We can create chances anytime.

Okay.

The weather is good.

Yes. It is.

It looks like spring is coming to Ciel.

What are you doing?

Well, I uh...

I felt sorry...

...so I came to say sorry.

I'm sorry.

Subtitles provided by MBC

Whose side are you on?

To protect Ciel, I can do anything and everything.

Are you suspecting me again?

There's no smoke without fire.

You shouldn't have saved me.

I will follow you around from morning till night.

Don't.

I don't trust you 100% yet.

Isn't your first goal saving Ciel? I want to do a good job.

Is it truly Ciel that you want to protect?

Or it is yourself?
