I...

will never leave your side, Prime Minister.

Ms. Nam Da Jung.

Because I love you.

What did you just say?

- What do you feel for me? - I love you, Prime Minister.

Stop! Stop it!

You shouldn't carelessly make those kinds of jokes.

It's not a joke.

I really like you Prime Minister.

Because...

once this long story ends, she'll have to leave the Sultan's side.

Because she doesn't want to part ways with him.

Because...

she fell in love with him.

Episode 13

Woo Ri... what's up with the atmosphere today?

I know.

Dad.

Lady.

Did you two get into a fight?

Not at all.

- Who said we got into a fight? - But it's weird.

You two aren't even talking.

You told me not to fight with my friends.

Why are you guys fighting? You should get along with one another.

It's fine if you two fight... but give us a warning next time.

I'm afraid of getting indigestion while we eat.

I told you, we didn't get into a fight. Why won't you guys believe me?

I have to get going now.

Go ahead and eat up.

Go ahead and eat.

Prime Minister!

I... have something to say to you for a moment.

- What I said yesterday... - Ms. Nam Da Jung.

Didn't I tell you? You shouldn't say those kinds of things without care.

It's not that...

I understand that you feel burdened... but the kids are here.

I'm late. I have to hurry and get going.

I'm sure I saw wrong.

There's no way she would be alive.

- Did you wait too long? - No, sir.

Let's go.

Did you meet Kang In Ho?

No, I didn't. I had a prior engagement.

Did you find the records of the accident?

You already know about the official police records.

Any footage or recordings from the CCTV

will be hard to check since a lot of time has passed by.

Okay.

But why are you trying to find those accident records again?

There's something that I want to check.

By the way, have you heard the news?

I hear Manager Seo has quit her job at the Prime Minister's office.

What?

Manager Seo, it's me. When you hear my message...

What would you like to do with Manager Seo's letter of resignation?

Will you... process it?

- Let's wait a little longer. - Do you think...

- Manager Seo will come back? - Probably not.

Still, I can't just send her off like this.

Your heart must feel heavy.

She was with you when your late wife was still alive.

My relationship with Manager Seo...

was way before that.

Also, Prime Minister, since we're already on the subject, I wanted to ask you a question.

Did you...

ever receive an adjudication of your late wife's disappearance?

Adjudication of disappearance?

Five years after reporting a disappearance, you're supposed to receive one.

- I was wondering if you did? - No.

I still haven't received it yet.

I know...

that she's dead.

But accepting and acknowledging it in my heart wasn't easy.

I kept holding it off and it came to be like this.

Then...

are you going to continue to leave it alone?

No.

I'm going to accept it now.

I think it's the right thing to do.

Since you're busy, should I prepare the request form for you?

I'll be on my way.

Where is she?

Ms. Nam Da Jung.

What are you doing here?

Manager Seo!

Thank you.

After you work out, you come here to eat

the sweet and sour pork, sweet and spicy chicken and the black bean noodles, right?

Please, eat.

You're so skinny, I don't know how you can eat all this food by yourself.

That's quite strange.

Where I work out, which restaurant I go to and what kinds of food I eat.

How do you know all this, Ms. Nam Da Jung?

During my time at Scandal News, I did a background check on you.

To see what kind of relationship I have with Prime Minister?

But while I was investigating you, I noticed you're very loyal.

- Loyalty? - You've been going to that gym for 8 years.

And the hair salon across the street from here, you've been a regular for 10 years.

And you've been eating at this Chinese restaurant since the day it opened.

Once you've decided on something

you're the type of person to stick with it to the very end.

You're right. I tend to do that.

But...

why did you change this time?

Why did you quit?

The Prime Minister... is having a hard time.

If you came here to persuade me, then my answer is 'no'.

- Manager Seo. - Like you said, Ms. Nam Da Jung...

once I like something, I never change it.

It's the same for people as well.

That's why I liked someone for almost 20 years.

That's right. I... like the Prime Minister.

Like you, Ms. Nam Da Jung.

I resigned because I wanted to put an end to this long and bitter, one-sided love.

So don't think or even start to persuade me.

Do you understand?

Also, you did find out a lot about me, but you got one thing wrong.

I didn't eat all of this on my own.

I just ordered a lot because I was embarrassed to eat by myself.

This should be good enough for requesting a report on a missing person.

It'll take about six months to confirm it.

Also, one more thing.

Can you investigate to see if there are any records of her leaving the country,

fines and use of credit cards as well?

That won't be difficult to do but why would you need those?

Just in case. I wonder if she's still alive.

How can that be? Unless she's hiding on purpose, why wouldn't she show herself?

Anyway, I'll check to see.

Yes. Please do that.

Well then.

Yes, hello?

We moved him from the intensive care unit this morning.

His condition has gotten better so you can be at ease now.

Excuse me. Was there anyone that came to visit my brother at all?

- A woman. - A woman?

No, there wasn't. Besides you, there was no one that came to visit.

I see, thank you.

I swear that woman looked like Park Na Young.

Soo Ho, do you think I was wrong?

Na Ra.

Here you go.

Na Ra, why are you studying so hard these days?

I have to rank first out of my whole school.

You have to rank first?

Tae Woong isn't just great at the piano. He's also ranked first at his school!

Isn't he amazing? Oh my gosh!

Anyway, in order to be the girl that suits him, don't you think I should study a little?

Woo Ri is also studying his butt off to rank first at school so he could be in a band.

Na Ra, if you rank first as well, the Prime Minister is going to be so happy.

Yes, Prime Minister.

When did you get here?

- A little while ago. - You should've said something then.

Well, you seem to be engrossed in the books.

But why did you ask me to come here?

Aren't you hungry? Should we go eat?

Seeing how you graduated from this school, you must've been really good at studying.

Of course. I've always ranked first.

You and your confidence.

I may have never ranked first, but I never missed meal time.

Ms. Nam Da Jung.

When was your first love?

What...

Why are you suddenly asking about that?

Just because. I'm curious.

You're curious about my past?

Then I'll tell you.

When I was 7 years old, there was this kid named Shin Dong Wook in preschool.

We both promised to get married to each other someday, but the jerk moved away.

Also, the time when I was in fourth grade.

Our class president, Choi Seung Min.

Don't get me started! Do you know how popular he was?

Well a guy like that had a crush on me.

Ah, right! The assistant priest of my church!

I can't leave him out.

He was so cool!

- Were they all your first loves? - Pardon?

From what I see, they all seemed to be one-sided loves.

First love...

Isn't it when two people first start to like each other?

That's why I was going to tell you right now.

My real first love...

Wait. But why do I have to tell you this right now?

- Are you trying to interview me right now? - An interview?

Sure, let's say I'm doing that.

The real question of this interview.

Ms. Nam Da Jung...

why do you like me?

You said you like me.

Why do you like me?

Prime Minister.

What's the real reason...

for asking me to come here?

But I had no idea you would come here without any resistance.

You said you would never forgive me.

I know you had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's attack.

That day... I knew right away when I looked into your eyes.

But I was so angry that day, I couldn't stop myself.

That bothered you, so that's why you came here?

That's right.

I wanted to clear any misunderstandings before I left.

You're leaving? Where are you going?

Just a trip somewhere.

You asked me what the real reason was for my resignation, right?

Like you said...

this tiresome, one-sided love...

I'm thinking of ending it.

My wife, was my first love.

She was a very different woman from you.

Tender, sensitive... like she was going to break at any moment.

Like the whole world would fall apart, if I wasn't there.

That was the kind of woman she was.

The library that we were at today.

The school cafeteria...

and here.

These are all the places that I have memories with my wife.

This is the place where I first saw my wife.

Where I confessed my feelings to her.

On the day of her graduation recital... I proposed to her to on that stage.

Your feelings for me Ms. Nam Da Jung, aren't love.

How should I say this?

If it's not yearning...

then it's pity.

Like having feelings for a school teacher or a priest.

Prime Minister.

Why do you talk so carelessly when you don't even know very well?

Also...

let's say it is pity and yearning.

If that's the case...

is it not allowed?

Ms. Nam Da Jung.

I'm a lot older than you and I've been married once.

I've experienced everything about love from the beginning to the end.

Any expectations and fantasies there may be...

To me there are none.

That's why...

I don't want to love anyone anymore.

Is it because of your late wife?

Is it because...

you still love your late wife?

And if that's not it?

What if it was the total opposite?

Rumors that Na Young had another man...

did you know about that?

Joon Ki, what are you saying right now?

Just where did you hear such ridiculous nonsense like that?

Well, I didn't hear that she really had one.

By some chance... I was just wondering if there was.

You know very well that the Prime Minister was the only one for Na Young.

But, why did you suddenly think about something like that?

Just because.

As you know, their relationship with one another wasn't good back then.

I wonder if the problem was because of another man.

That never happened.

Besides Na Young going to the hospital for depression back then...

she didn't meet anyone.

True. There's no way you wouldn't know if something like that happened.

But, if...

What if...

Na Young had another man in her life.

Do you think Kwon Yool would've forgiven her for that?

I...

I couldn't forgive my wife.

Loving another man.

Was unbelievably painful but...

I could have forgiven her.

Abandoning me and the kids and planning to go to America with that man.

I could have forgiven her for all of that.

However...

However, the one thing I couldn't forgive...

is...

to leave us forever like that.

Her last words to me were...

that she was lonely.

She was lonely.

To the point that she wanted to die.

She said she couldn't bear it.

She never once asked for forgiveness.

She never once tried to make an excuse.

She just left, only saying that she was very lonely.

I couldn't forgive her.

No.

For making her like that...

I couldn't forgive myself at all.

I'm the one that made my wife that way.

By using the excuse of being tired all the time, I never once looked back.

How lonely she was.

How much she cried.

I really...

didn't know anything at all.

Do you think...

I have the right to love someone again?

You said you liked me, right?

To tell you the truth, I was wavering, too.

My heart was pounding and I was excited.

Watching you smile at me...

I thought you were pretty.

But now...

I don't have the courage anymore.

I'm afraid of loving someone again.

Because I might make that person lonely again.

I'm so afraid.

Where are you going to go for your trip?

I don't know. Anywhere?

I'm just thinking of getting a ticket to somewhere that's far but quick to get to.

Make sure to call me once you get back. You're unemployed now.

Doesn't that apply to you, too?

What are you going to do with a competent assistant like me when you've resigned?

Do you think a competent, public official like me is going to be jobless forever?

Have a safe trip. And...

promise me one thing.

Make sure you come back.

I don't know. I can't guarantee that.

If a good looking foreigner sweeps me off my feet, don't you think I should stay there?

I'm not getting any younger either.

I was supposed to meet Director Kang today. Just a moment.

Director Kang. Where are you?

You're on your way up now?

I'll just see you before I leave. I'll see you then.

- Is he on his way back from the nursing home? - I think so.

The chauffeur is waiting for you, hurry and get going.

Okay, I'll go ahead and go first.

Is he on his way back from the nursing home?

How does Joon Ki know about the nursing home?

- Are you leaving now? - Excuse me, Nurse.

My brother's condition has gotten better but...

there's still a lot of phlegm and he's sweating profusely.

I know you're busy but I'd appreciate it if you can continue to check in on him.

Don't worry. I'll also ask the volunteer workers to be particularly attentive to him.

Where are the volunteer workers coming from?

They mostly come from religious groups. Usually churches.

By any chance, among those people, is there a person named Park Na Young?

She just left, only saying that she was very lonely.

I couldn't forgive her.

For making her like that...

I couldn't forgive myself at all.

How painful it must've been.

How difficult it must've been.

Catch me if you can!

Stay where you are! You! You! I'm going to get you!

Man Se, Na Ra! Be careful!

This is pretty nice.

Woo Ri, what do you think? Don't you think it'll look good on the Prime Minister?

Why do you want to buy one for Dad? He said to just buy our clothes.

Still, that's not right.

If you're going to buy one for Dad then it's better to just buy one for yourself.

Kwon Woo Ri.

Were you just thinking about me right now?

You wish.

This one's nice. Try this on.

Sure! I'm only wearing it since you recommended it.

Yes, Dad.

Today?

Yes, I understand.

Yes. Dad says he has to go on a business trip so he won't be home today.

A business trip?

He didn't mention anything about it this morning.

But why did he tell Woo Ri that?

Did you fight with Dad again?

- No. It's not like that. - Yeah right.

It's so obvious! Something happened again.

- Potato chip! - Potato chip!

- Put your hand down please. - Put it down.

What's next on the schedule?

All the official business on public welfare is finished.

And you only have an interview with the reporters left.

- All right. - Potato Chip!

- Potato Chip! - Aren't those my kids?

Kwon Man Se!

- Dad! - Dad!

Dad!

- Ms. Nam Da Jung. - Prime Minister. Director Kang.

You must be shocked.

Hey, what are you guys doing? Give your greetings.

- Hello. - Hello.

Wow! It's so nice, right? Let's take a look around!

Ms. Nam Da Jung, what's going on?

I called Chauffeur Shim and he told me you were coming here for your business trip.

The kids are on vacation and it's stuffy to just stay at home.

So I thought it would be nice to come see the ocean and other things.

- You came to see the ocean? - Ah, right.

I bought the kids clothes, like you wanted me to.

While we were there...

I bought one for you as well.

I knew it! It looks great on you!

- Ms. Nam Da Jung. - We'll have fun on our own.

So you just take care of your own business.

Kids! You want to go to the beach, right? Let's go!

Well then... we're going to head out. We'll see you later, Prime Minister.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Did I put the Prime Minister in a tough spot?

No. Still, it was a good idea to come.

- You did well, Nam Da Jung. - What are you muttering to yourself?

Director Kang.

What about the Prime Minister?

He's having a discussion with some powerful people. It wasn't my place to interfere.

But why did you come here all of a sudden?

It's been a while since I've gone to the beach. So, I decided to come here.

It feels so good to finally see it!

I get to see the beach and I get to see Chief Kang like this!

- And you get to see the Prime Minster? - I... I came to see everyone!

Ah! This is harsh. Am I a buy one get one free? Am I a dummy?

This won't do! I think I should just get going.

Why are you acting like this? This isn't like you!

Fine. I'll treat you to some coffee, sounds good?

Forget it. It's not like I'm a person that'll go crazy without coffee.

Seriously, why are you acting like this? Let it go and wait here for a moment.

I'll hurry and get you a cup of coffee that's sweet and hot.

It's all right, I was joking.

I feel good to be able to see you like this.

Lady! Come here! Let's play together!

I'll be right there!

All done!

Dad! Dad!

- Dad! - Dad!

- Are you guys having fun? - Yes!

The air is cold. Were you guys outside the whole time?

Yes. The kids like it and thanks to them I had a really fun time.

- Dad, we had so much fun! - That's right.

We played tag and drew pictures... and the Lady took pictures, too!

Since Dad's here, let's all take a picture together.

Kwon Na Ra, why do you keep asking to take pictures? It's so tacky.

When you come to places like this, you're supposed to take family pictures.

Lady, please take a picture of us.

- Okay. - Wait!

What about her? She's a part of our family, we should take it together.

Then who's going to take the picture?

Mr. Kang can take it! Mr. Kang, please take a picture of us.

Should I?

- Ms. Da Jung, will you give me your camera? - Sure.

Hurry up! You're so slow. Come here, come here.

Lady! Why are you so far apart?

- Take it! - Take it!

Smile please.

Let's smile!

One, two... three!

- It's yummy. - Seriously.

I said let's go out to eat, why won't you listen?

I know. There are a lot of good places to eat around here.

No, no, no! It's not good for the kids to be eating out constantly.

And if you come to a place like this, it's fun to make it. Don't you think so?

- Of course it is but... - That's true.

Here you go, it's all done.

It's a lot more spicy and yummier than what I made for the kids.

- Let's see how it tastes. - I'll eat it well.

Here we go.

How is it, Prime Minister?

Isn't it delicious, Director Kang!

The taste is quite unique.

Unique? Is this supposed to be spicy rice cakes? It's just a glob of red bean paste!

Just how are we supposed to enjoy this, Ms. Nam Da Jung?

Why don't you just feed us a spoonful of red bean paste instead?

What did you say? Then make your own food, Prime Minister.

So ungrateful.

It's delicious!

Goodness, you're so pitiful.

I just lost my appetite. I'd probably make it a lot better than you!

You can't even cook ramen properly.

Are you kidding me? What do you mean I can't cook ramen properly?

All you have to do is follow the instructions.

- You've never done it before. - How do you know that?

You can't do it because you've never done it before.

Why would I need to when you're in the kitchen?

You don't know how to cook it. There's no need for excuses.

Seriously.

- If I cook it, everyone will love it. - Yes, it's me.

You asked me to call you if the volunteer workers come again, right?

I'm calling to let you know that they will be here tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning?

Tomorrow morning is going to be a little difficult.

Yes, I will call you back later. Yes.

Did something happen?

The thing is...

There's someone I need to find.

Someone you need to find?

Who are you looking for?

I thought this person was dead... but somehow this person might be alive.

Really?

Then should you be here right now?

It's fine with me. If you need to, go ahead and go.

- Will that really be all right? - I have other employees. Go now.

Then I'm sorry but I'll go ahead and go first.

That person.

I really hope that person is alive.

Prime Minister.

Did Director Kang leave?

Yes, he just left.

You must be tired. Go inside and get some rest, Ms. Nam Da Jung.

You were perplexed by me today, weren't you?

It's not the first time that I've been perplexed by you, Ms. Nam Da Jung.

It's fine so don't be concerned.

Wanting to see the ocean was just an excuse.

I came because I have something I need to say to you, Prime Minister.

Last time, you told me...

that being scared shouldn't be a reason to run away.

Those words...

I want to return them to you.

I would like it...

if you can leave the pain of your past behind now.

I know why.

Why the piano room is restricted.

Why you can't go to sleep every night.

It's all because of your late wife.

Don't do that anymore.

You can laugh now.

And I think it will be all right for you to be happy.

Because it's not your fault that she passed away.

It's not your fault, it's not your wife's fault, it's not anyone's fault at all.

So...

don't torture yourself with the past anymore.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault, Prime Minister.

I really wanted to say this to you.

Well then.

It's not your fault, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister.

Where did he go?

You can just stay where you are, Prime Minister. I'll go to you.

Like this.

It's all right if you don't look at me.

Just...

stay where you are, Prime Minister.

Just like that.

Then...

I'll come to you.

One step at a time.

One step.

And another step like this.

Please promise me.

That you'll just stay where you are.

That you won't go further away.

That's more than enough for me.

You're here. You came early.

Yes. The volunteer worker... did that person come?

Yes. If you go into the hospital room, you should be able to meet her.

Thank you.

Yes, I understand.

Kwon Yool, I'd keep a tight leash on your household if I were you.

What do you mean?

It means... that I'm not the only one that wants to hurt him.

Another person wanting to hurt the Prime Minister, didn't seem like empty words.

Who on earth do you think that person is?

- It's me. - Is he coming from the nursing home?

Director Kang and Joon Ki. I'm certain there's something between them.

[Minister Park Joon Ki]

Thank you so much for all your help.

Not at all. I haven't done that much.

Not at all. In any case, I've wanted to see and say hello.

Thank you so much for always being there for my brother.

I wasn't always there to help him.

- Pardon? - There's another person who does that.

She's not feeling good today so I came in her stead.

- There's another person? - Yes.

Excuse me then.

Wait.

Then where is that person right now?

[Peaceful House a Shelter for Women]

What brings you here?

- I came to look for a person. - A person?

- Who are you looking for? - Is there a Park Na Young here?

Park Na Young? There's no one here by that name.

Is that so?

Wait!

Ms. Park Na Young. You're Park Na Young, right?

I would like it, if you could leave the pain of your past behind now.

I think it would be all right for you to smile and be happy.

What's going on?

- Be careful! - Be careful!

Please be gentle! Be gentle!

Woo Ri. What's going on?

Dad said to put the piano out in the living room.

The Prime Minister said that?

Prime Minister.

- What? - Just because.

So silly.

Prime Minister.

You did well.

With the piano.

Sorry but I didn't do it because of what you said.

I just did it because I suddenly felt like it.

Anyway! You made the right decision.

Prime Minister, you must not strain yourself, okay?

All right.

- But, I don't see Director Kang at all. - I know.

He's never late.

Director Kang.

Is that so?

We have no choice then. All right.

Director Kang said he can't come today because something urgent came up.

Really?

I wonder what happened.

Do you think something happened to the person he said he was going to meet?

I'm not sure.

The President will be out soon.

By the way, is it true the secretary of political affairs is being replaced?

Actually, the new candidate will be here to greet you today.

Is that so? That's good.

What... Why are you?

Then... the new secretary of political affairs...

That's right, it's me.

You seem to be very surprised.

From your perspective, it might not be welcoming.

Anyway, it came to be this way.

If it's all right with you, can I introduce you to my assistant?

You'll be seeing her quite frequently from now on.

Come in.

- Kwon Na Ra! Go with the rhythm, will you? - You just do well on your own!

- Kwon Man Se, be quiet! - Stop!

- Again. One, two, three! - One, two, three!

- No! Go with the beat. - You go with the beat.

- You're the one that's slow, Woo Ri. - Just do it.

They're so happy.

- Do it again. One, two, three! - One, two, three!

[Guardian Angel]

Director Kang.

Director Kang.

You don't even answer your phone, do you know how worried I was?

Director Kang.

Did something happen?

Director Kang.

What's wrong?

Something did happen, right?

Did something happen to the person that you met today?

- Did something bad happen? - No.

I'm the one...

that did something bad.

Director Kang.

I'm fine.

It doesn't matter if something bad happens to me.

But you, Ms. Da Jung...

What should I do with you?

What are you talking about?

I don't understand anything that you're saying.

Ms. Da Jung.

Listen carefully to what I'm going to say right now.

Ms. Da Jung, if...

if...

Ms. Da Jung, if...

if...

Director Kang.

Just what on earth happened?

Lady! Dad's home.

Prime Minister. Is it all right if I come in?

Come in.

What made you come home so early today?

Did you come here to say something to me?

Excuse me?

The thing is...

To tell you the truth, Director Kang came just a moment ago.

Director Kang did?

But... he seemed strange.

I'm worried... that something bad happened.

It seems...

today is the day for a lot of bad things to happen.

Did something happen?

I met Manager Seo at the Blue House today.

But...

she's now working as Park Joon Ki's assistant.

She must've agreed as soon as Joon Ki became the secretary of political affairs.

But... why would Manager Seo...

I'm certain there's a reason for what she did.

If not, there's no way she would be able to do that.

I know.

There might be something that I don't know.

But...

I can't help that it breaks my heart.

- Prime Minister. - That's why...

I was reading a book to keep my mind off it.

It's 'One Thousand and One Arabian Nights'.

Why didn't you say something? I could've read it to you.

It's fine.

But why do you think this story ends on the thousandth day?

After 1,000 days...

is it because the anger and resentment will disappear?

Or is it because the writer had nothing more to write?

I'm not sure.

Besides that...

don't you think it's because the Sultan was finally able to sleep after 1000 days?

While the Sultan fell asleep, the story ended as well. Is that it?

As the Sultan was finally able to sleep, he let go of the anger and resentment.

That's why no more stories were needed after that, don't you think?

Because he obtained peace.
