[Episode 16]

Dan Tae.

Yes, Joon Soo.

I'm back from my business trip.

You didn't forget our promise, right?

Of course not.

I was waiting for you. When should we meet up?

Are you busy tonight?

No, I'm free. How is 6pm?

That works.

I'd prefer to meet somewhere quiet.

I'll see you there at 6pm then.

(Human Genetic Information Centre)

(Paternity Genetic Test Result)

(Missing Child: Seok Joon Pyo)

When I meet Joon Soo at 6pm, I'll tell him everything.

I'll tell him that I'm Joon Pyo...

and that his mother is the suspect.

That'll bring an end to everything.

Joon Soo won't have to commit crimes for his mother.

I think...

that will be the best way.

(Missing Child: Seok Joon Pyo)

Dan Tae.

It's me.

Shim.

Come on in.

Try the mixed grain shake.

I bought it on my way back from the market. It's really savoury.

Wow. Thank you so much.

Why are you talking like that?

I figured I've been acting like an old man recently,

so I tried acting cute.

No, don't ever do that again.

All right.

Hurry up and drink it before the shake gets too thick.

Okay.

It's really savoury and delicious.

Is it okay if I ask you a favour?

Sure, go ahead.

Actually,

I recently sent my resume to a company,

and they accepted my application.

Really?

Congratulations.

The thing is,

I'll have a job interview soon.

So can you ask me some questions for the interview?

Of course. You even bought me a drink.

Sit down.

They say that nowadays,

employers tend to pressure their interviewees with harsh questions.

Would it be okay if I ask you some harsh questions?

Of course.

I'm ready. You can question me now.

(Job application)

Ms Gong, you majored in horticulture.

But why did you apply to be a designer?

Ever since I was young, I've always wanted to become a designer.

But because my family couldn't afford to send me to art classes,

I had to give up on my dream.

Despite that, I still consider myself...

as a talented artist.

If you hire me,

I'll work passionately and do my best to learn as much as possible.

Why are you thinking of learning here?

Do you think this is a school?

Pardon?

Your school grades are quite bad.

Your TOEIC score is terrible, too.

Why are your grades so terrible?

I admit that my grades are quite low...

because I had to work part-time...

to earn my tuition fees on my own.

However, I believe I learned a lot by experiencing different things.

If you studied hard and got scholarships,

wouldn't you have cleared your tuition fees all the same?

I think you didn't get a scholarship because you didn't study hard.

I guess you're not that smart.

Ms Gong?

Are you clenching your fists?

No, Sir.

I'm just nervous.

Your application tells me that you've changed jobs often.

What's the reason?

The first company I went to went bankrupt the day after I got in.

Then, I got fired unjustly from my second job.

For my third workplace,

the branch manager ran away with all the money,

so I had to resign against my will.

Doesn't that mean you're just incapable of finding a decent job?

I'll consider your angry face as the answer to my question.

Shim, I told you that I'll ask you harsh questions.

You shouldn't get angry so easily. Please stop choking me.

I'm so sorry.

I just got so angry.

Shim.

Do you have problems controlling your anger?

You almost killed me.

You must not act like this during the real interview.

I don't want to do it any more. I'm going to leave.

Wait.

What now?

Shim.

If you have time tonight, can we meet?

I'm sorry I got angry at you.

The interview stressed me out.

Where shall we meet?

We can meet here at the rooftop.

I don't mind going to the park, either.

Around what time shall we meet?

I'm meeting Joon Soo tonight, so I'll see you after that.

Can I call you after I'm done meeting him?

Sure.

But is there a reason why you're meeting me...

after meeting Director Seok?

That's just the order.

I guess you're not going to tell me.

Okay. I'll see you tonight, then.

Yes. See you.

What could it be?

What does he want to talk to me about?

Shim.

Tonight,

I'll explain to you...

why I couldn't tell you anything.

I'll also tell you that I'm not Ahn Dan Tae,

but that I'm Seok Joon Pyo.

(The DNA does not match.)

Hey, Joon Soo.

Why are you making us wait so long?

Hurry up and tell us. This is frustrating.

Gosh.

Tae Cheol, isn't it frustrating?

Sorry?

Right. Yes, it is.

I can't believe Dan Tae isn't Joon Pyo.

I was certain that he was Joon Pyo.

I can't believe this.

Joon Soo.

What are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you.

Hurry up. I can't wait any longer. Just tell us already.

What I'd like to tell you all today...

is that I'm going to hand in my letter of resignation...

to the company.

- Gosh. - Joon Soo.

What are you talking about?

Why would you do that? It's our company.

Tell me more specifically.

What's wrong?

I want to start my own business.

I don't want to work with a complacent mind...

as a family member of Star Group.

Instead, I'd like to...

challenge myself and succeed on my own.

Are you saying you're going to start a business...

completely outside of our company?

Yes.

My goodness, I don't understand what he's saying.

Why would you take the harder route?

Joon Soo, is there something going on?

This doesn't make sense.

I'm sorry.

I'll resign tomorrow.

- Why... Why is he... - Oh, my.

- Hey, Joon Soo. - Honey.

Oh, my.

My goodness.

(The DNA does not match.)

Please use this towel.

Thank you.

I found it, Dan Tae.

Okay.

Put it in here.

Okay.

Dan Tae, why do you need my toothbrush anyway?

It has to be the exact same toothbrush from your store.

What do you need that for?

You used this, right?

Yes, I used it for about a week.

Okay. I'll get you a new one later.

Tae Cheol.

What's wrong with Joon Soo?

He's the heir of this company. Why would he resign?

Is something going on at work?

Nothing's going on.

Then why is he resigning?

Maybe he feels too comfortable nowadays.

Maybe.

What if Mother finds Joon Pyo during this critical time?

Since we're talking about Joon Pyo...

You remember Ahn Soo Yong, right?

You're talking about your friend from the army...

who lost Joon Pyo while he was looking after him, right?

That's right. I found out where Soo Yong is now.

He's in a coma and is hospitalised right now.

What happened?

How would I know?

I don't know if he was fighting a disease...

or if there was an accident.

Tae Cheol.

What if he comes back?

If he wakes up and spills the truth about Joon Pyo,

both you and I are going to be in big trouble.

Ahn Dan Tae is his son.

He'll tell Ahn Dan Tae everything once he wakes up.

Of course he will.

When Soo Yong lost Joon Pyo, you told me to just keep it that way.

I'm the only person who knows that. Don't forget that, okay?

Tae Cheol, why are you saying that all of a sudden?

Just keep a close eye on him.

Everything is under control, so don't worry.

I'm here, Soo Yong.

Soo Yong?

Nurse!

Nurse!

(Restricted area)

What's wrong?

Ahn Soo Yong has waken up.

What?

He woke up from a coma?

Yes. His eyes are open.

He's conscious?

Yes. Should I get rid of him?

No, I want to see him with my own eyes.

I'll be on my way, so wait until I get there.

Hi, Aunt Ji Won.

What?

Dad woke up?

He's conscious?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Okay.

Dad finally woke up.

This is great. Everything is going great now.

(Hanguk Hospital)

He woke up.

(Ahn Soo Yong's sister-in-law)

(Soo Yong's friend from the army)

Hello?

Hi. This is Soo Yong's friend from army. I called you before.

Yes, hello.

Are you at the hospital by any chance?

Yes, I am.

That's great.

I'm at the lobby of the hospital right now.

I'm here to drop off the gifts from his friends.

This is not a good time.

It won't take long.

I'll be waiting at the lobby.

Okay.

I'll be downstairs. Please wait there.

Okay.

(Third floor, Intensive Care Unit)

(Intensive Care Unit Two)

(Restricted area)

(Intensive Care Unit Room)

Dad.

(Intensive Care Unit Two)

(Hanguk Hospital)

Aunt.

Dan Tae.

- How's Dad? - He woke up.

He can't recognise us yet.

The doctor said that..

He'll consciousness will soon recover, too.

Isn't this great?

It's all because you took great care of him.

But why are you down here?

I got a call from your dad's friend from army that he's here.

But I don't see him. He's not answering my phone call, either.

I see. I'll go up and see Dad then.

- Okay. I'll be right up. - All right.

Thank you for holding.

Excuse me.

Move out of the way, please.

Hurry up.

23, 24...

Dad.

- Pull down the blinds. - Yes, Sir.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

What happened to him, Doctor?

I was told that my dad woke up. What's going on here?

Please calm down. This doesn't make anything better.

We need to save the patient's life first.

Please calm down.

Dan Tae, what's going on here?

Aunt Ji Won.

I think he might pass away.

Dan Tae.

No, this can't be.

My goodness.

You're talking about your friend from the army...

who lost Joon Pyo while he was looking after him, right?

What if he comes back?

If he wakes up and spills the truth about Joon Pyo,

both you and I are going to be in big trouble.

When Soo Yong lost Joon Pyo, you told me to just keep it that way.

I'm the only person who knows that.

Don't forget that, okay?

Doctor.

Thank you. Thank you for saving my dad's life.

Yes.

I have a feeling that someone...

shut down the life-support system on purpose.

Sorry?

There's a trace of the power cord being pulled out.

We're going to call the police.

I don't understand.

Are you saying that...

someone tried to kill my dad on purpose?

I don't know why.

But it's clear...

that the life-support system was purposely shut down by someone.

Doctor.

Are you sure?

You're saying that...

someone shut down the system on purpose?

Yes.

I'm certain.

Long time, no see.

Yes.

How was your business trip?

Good.

You're here earlier than expected.

Did you...

come here straight from the airport?

No.

I arrived in the morning.

I rested at home before coming here.

We're here to tell each other something, right?

What is it that you need to tell me...

at a quiet place like this?

I'm curious.

Here's what I need to tell you.

From this point on,

please stop looking for Joon Pyo.

I'll...

take your silence as a yes.

You said you had something to tell me, too.

I was going to say just that.

I was going to say exactly the same thing.

I was going to tell you that I'll stop looking for Joon Pyo.

However,

I changed my mind.

I'll make sure to find...

the suspect who kidnapped Joon Pyo.

Gosh, he's not even calling me until this hour.

What's going on?

Dan Tae.

Shim.

I don't think I can keep my promise today.

I'm sorry.

Oh, really?

It's okay.

I was also thinking of cancelling our plan because I was so busy...

preparing for my job interview.

Thank goodness I haven't left home yet.

Good.

I'm fine, so don't worry about me.

You should get back to work.

I'll hang up now.

I'm hungry.

Where have you been, Shim?

I made gamjatang, your favourite. Should I set the table?

No, I'm going to bed now.

It's too early for that.

Are you sure you're not eating?

Yes.

It's okay.

I was also thinking of cancelling our plan because I was so busy...

preparing for my job interview.

Thank goodness I haven't left home yet.

(Pervert Lawyer)

- Hello? - Shim.

I just got home.

Is it too late to see you now?

Now? What time is it?

I'm waiting outside so I can see you before going up.

Okay, I'll be right down.

Sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

Yes. You were a little late.

Let's go.

Go where?

I've never watched a late-night movie before.

It's starting.

(488th day)

I had to earn my own tuition while I was at school.

That's why my school grades...

aren't very high since I was busy working part-time jobs.

However, despite my low grades, I believe I received priceless...

- experience in return. - Experience in return.

Dan Tae.

Shim. You have to buy me lunch after your interview.

Why?

I had a really good dream last night.

I'll sell it to you.

Really?

I'll buy it.

It's a really good dream.

I'm sure you'll get hired for that job.

- Thank you. - Let's go. You'll be late.

I shouldn't forget this.

Ever since I was young, my dream was to draw.

Due to our family's financial situation, I had to give up.

I have to remember this.

Ever since I was young, my dream was to draw.

I forgot it again.

Ever since I was young...

Lawyer Gong.

What brings you here?

I need to talk to you.

Do you have time?

What is it about?

Not here. Can we go somewhere else?

Sure.

When you first saw Joon Soo at the furniture workshop,

did you or did you not know that he was the heir of Star Group?

You're Secretary Gong's sister.

There's no way you didn't know about Joon Soo.

You made a fool out of me.

You guys are terrible.

It's ready.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Go on and eat.

Okay.

I heard from my mother.

I see.

I'm sorry, Sir.

No, you don't have to be sorry.

I don't care.

Let's not talk about that.

What?

The reason why I wanted to see you...

is because I need to ask you a favour.

A favour?

I decided to set up my own business.

I would love to...

work on my new business with you.

It'd be great if you could head the legal department.

What do you think?

Me?

Well,

it's a small company for now.

It'll be a big help if you join.

I'm not sure how much help I can be.

I'm asking you because I know that you're competent.

I'm not trying to pressure you.

You can think it through...

and decline if you want.

Okay. I'll think about it then.

Have some.

Okay.

It'll be a big help if you join.

Where did you learn how to draw?

I went to a drawing academy when I was in grade one. That's all.

I wanted to major in art,

but our family couldn't afford to let me study drawing.

I taught myself instead.

Your drawings are so unique and warm.

It's hard to find unique works from people who studied art.

Thank you.

Actually, I really wanted to study art in Italy.

I studied Italian to prepare for it.

I'll show you a little bit.

(Nice to meet you. My name is Gong Shim.)

(Thank you for your compliments.)

I can tell that you're passionate.

Thank you.

- Shim. - Director Seok.

Why are you here?

I just had an interview here.

Did you?

You just had an interview at this company?

Yes. I just finished it.

What about you? Why are you here?

I have some business to attend.

I didn't know you applied here.

I wish we could have tea,

but I have a meeting.

I see. You should go.

I'll see you next time.

I hope you get the job.

- Hello. - Hello.

You're here.

You must be busy preparing for the new company.

Yes, it's quite hectic.

How were the interviews? Are they all finished?

Yes. We found a lot of good talents.

Here are the applicants.

Thank you.

(Application)

Do you know anyone?

Do you want to give anyone bonus points?

No, that's okay.

I won't get involved with the hiring process.

I'm sure you'll pick the right people in a fair way.

I don't like favouritism either.

Excuse me.

Yes, Grandmother.

Are you out?

Yes, I'm out.

Come to my office when you're back.

Okay, I will.

Joon Soo.

You have to make a trip to Yeoju.

Yeoju?

There's a pottery...

I ordered from Professor Kang.

They asked me to send you instead. They miss you.

You should go.

Okay, I will.

Have some tea.

There you are.

Did you ask for me, Ma'am?

You should go with Joon Soo to Yeoju.

I took Secretary Ahn with me...

when Professor Kang was moving her workshop the other time.

The place is hard to find.

He knows the way, so he'll take you there.

Yes, Ma'am.

You should go before traffic picks up.

Okay.

(Cheongpyeong)

Dan Tae.

This isn't the way to Yeoju.

I have to drop by somewhere on the way.

We had some extra time, so I came this way first.

Is that all right?

(Blue Sky Arboretum)

Where are we?

It's Blue Sky Arboretum.

I have to get something from someone.

You should go then.

It's a lot of stuff. I don't think I can carry it by myself.

Will you help me?

What?

I'm sorry. I'd appreciate it.

All right, then.

Thank you.

Yes. Group discount only applies to groups of 30 or more.

That's right. It's free if your child is under 36 months of age.

Thank you.

(Kim Gil Bong)

Can I help you?

I came to meet someone.

I'm here to see Kim Gil Bong.

- Kim Gil Bong? - Yes.

He doesn't work here starting today.

Is there...

any other way I can reach him?

I have to see him.

I'm not sure.

We don't have time. Let's go.

We're not supposed to share phone numbers,

but why don't you try calling?

Okay. Thank you.

The number you have dilaled is currently...

His phone's turned off.

Take this.

I'm not sure if I should accept this.

You should change your phone number.

You can use that for whatever you need.

I'll find you a new job...

that's easier to get to from your house.

Don't worry about that.

My goodness.

Thank you so much for this.

Here.

Cheers.

Wait.

That's Joon Soo and Dan Tae.

Is that really all I have to do?

Yes. Just change your number.

And don't ever call the arboretum again.

If anyone asks,

make sure you don't mention anything about the lady...

who you passed on the note to.

All right. I won't ever talk about seeing a woman.

Don't worry.

Please have some.

What are you doing?

Tell me.

What do you think you're doing?

You took me to the arboretum on purpose, right?

Who do you think I am?

Is this related to your search for Joon Pyo again?

I already told you.

Stop looking for Joon Pyo.

Why should I?

Why should I stop looking for him?

Don't you see? You're looking at the reason why.

Why did you drag me to the arboretum?

Someone disappeared?

He's not picking up?

They're signs telling you to stop looking for him.

Stop poking around the company and doing such ridiculous things.

It's telling you to stop.

Do you understand?

You took him out, didn't you?

Dan Tae.

I know that you went to the arboretum...

that day.

Everything would've been revealed if I met him.

That's why you hid him.

Watch your mouth.

I don't care if you went to the arboretum...

or if you hid Kim Gil Bong.

It doesn't matter to me.

What I'm curious about...

is who...

you're really trying to hide.

I want to know what...

you're trying to hide.

Don't be so stubborn.

If you keep this up,

I won't just sit and watch.

I'm warning you.

Joon Soo.

There's still a chance.

Dan Tae is suspicious of Joon Soo.

This is getting really interesting.

- Aunt Ji Won. - Dan Tae.

Is everything all right?

You don't look so good.

It's my fault.

I should have never left his side.

You're dad almost died...

because of those bad guys.

It's not your fault.

I talked to the hospital.

They'll increase the security.

Yes. You can't come in unless you have a card now.

Even the police came.

Their security camera broke, so they don't have any records, right?

No. Can you tell me in detail about what happened that day?

There's nothing much to tell.

His army friend said that...

he had a gift to give to your dad. That's why I went downstairs.

You saw me in the lobby, right?

Yes.

But his friend never came.

He wouldn't even pick up, so I came back upstairs.

But by then, your father had already gone through the accident.

Can I have that friend's number?

Here.

(Soo Yong's army friend)

I don't know this number.

- He's not picking up? - The number is not available...

No.

Mr Park.

It's Executive Director Yeom.

I need to know one of our staff's phone number.

Secretary Ahn Dan Tae.

Yes. Go ahead.

Okay, 0, 1, 0...

and 6, 1, 6, 3.

And 4...

and 8, 0, 1?

All right. Thank you.

Ahn Dan Tae called me?

Dan Tae.

You don't look so good. Are you all right?

I'm fine.

How was the interview?

I think I did well today.

I have a good feeling.

Right.

Do you remember the intense interview I practised with you?

Yes. I'm sure it was of great help.

I know it's all thanks to me.

Not at all.

It didn't help at all.

I think we wasted time practising.

Thinking about it makes me mad.

But thinking about our practices while doing the interview...

helped me not get nervous.

Right? I knew it would be helpful in that way.

It was all part of my plan.

Do you understand?

Congratulations.

I didn't get the job yet.

Let's eat.

Let's eat three spoonfuls like this.

Two.

One.

Fine then. I guess I don't have a choice.

Why aren't you eating?

I'm not going to eat two spoonfuls.

Just eat. It'll be over if either of us has two spoonfuls.

Don't... Don't eat it.

Done.

I said, done.

Why did you break the rule?

It never existed in the first place.

You should eat.

Okay.

I've always wanted to get a henna.

These come off, right?

If it's quick, it'll come off in a couple of days.

I hear it can last up to two weeks.

That's cool. You should get one.

Should I get one?

Do you want to walk like this...

for just two bus stops?

Thank you so much.

Come on.

I like two bus stops better than two spoonfuls.

Stop it, you look stupid.

Thank you so much.

She's so cute.

Butterfly.

You witnessed that she said, "Joon Pyo" and "Butterfly."

I'm sure of it.

She said, "Joon Pyo" and "Butterfly."

She wasn't talking about his bow tie.

She was talking about the person that took him away.

He's the butterfly.

It's a tattoo.

The man that took Joon Pyo...

might have a butterfly tattoo.

Why are they not calling?

Did I not make it?

No.

Call me.

Please call me. Please.

Please call me.

(Bow Design)

Hello?

This is Shim speaking.

I'll be working under Director Seok starting next week.

That's great news.

I was bothered by Tae Hee.

I'm glad.

Why is he taking the harder route instead of the easy one?

He's someone hard to come by these days.

He doesn't take after his mum, that's for sure.

He even recognised Mi for her work.

I guess so.

Mum! Dad! Mi!

I got the job!

My goodness. Really?

Shim, is that true?

I'm so happy for you. This is great.

I'm so happy.

Is today our lucky day?

Both of our daughters brought good news to us!

That's great. Congratulations.

Thank you, everyone.

I got the job!

- You got it! - Yes!

She's so happy.

I should tell Dan Tae.

Yes, Shim.

Dan Tae. I got the job.

Did you? You got it?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

What are you doing today?

I'm going to drop by the office this afternoon.

I'll come to the office then. Let's have lunch.

I'll buy since you got hired.

Why would you treat when I'm the one that got hired?

- I'll buy. - Okay. You buy it.

See you later.

Okay.

Yes, I got it!

Hello. I'm Gong Shim. I look forward to working with you.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Come in, CEO Seok.

- Hello. - Hello.

Director Seok?

Shim?

Are you newly employed here?

Yes, that is right.

What about you?

I'm here to work, of course.

CEO Seok, do you know Ms Gong Shim?

CEO Seok?

I do know her.

Then is what you told me before about starting your business...

related to this company?

Yes. That's right.

I see.

Then was it you who made the decision to hire me?

No, it wasn't me.

I'm not related to the human resources team.

I just found out that you got hired.

He's right.

We went through your application thoroughly and decided to hire you.

I see.

Here we meet again.

Yes. I'll always do my best.

CEO Seok.

Do you have any good news?

Why are you smiling so much?

It's nothing.

So this is the design company...

where Shim currently started working.

Dan Tae.

I just got a phone call from an unknown number.

But the call ended as soon as I answered.

Isn't he Dad's friend from the army?

It wasn't his number.

But I had a strange feeling. That's why I'm calling you now.

Did you try to reach...

his friend from the army?

Is he still not answering?

No.

I'll call him again.

All right.

(Dad's army friend)

When is your first day here?

They told me to come starting tomorrow.

By the way, Dan Tae is on his way here.

Is he?

It'll be great if us three could eat together. It's been a while.

It's my treat.

Would you like to join us?

(Dad's army friend)

Director Seok. I think your phone is ringing.

My phone?

I think it's coming from your brief case.

Dan Tae.
