(Episode 28)

Jung Min. What a pleasant surprise.

Ji Eun was the woman that makes you feel nervous?

Yes.

What do you think? Do we look good together?

You deserve better.

I'm talking to Ji Eun.

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

Right now, I just like her one-sidedly.

What? Why would anyone refuse to date a guy like you?

I know, right?

Mr. Jang, you also know Ji Eun, right?

I guess I could say I do.

She used to work as Will's helper for a little while.

So yes, he knows her.

Well, I told her to stop working as his helper.

You understand, right?

Yes, I'm sure you found it uncomfortable.

It looks like you came for dinner, so you can go ahead...

Let's eat dinner together. It's not like we're strangers.

Then dinner will be on me.

How much do you like Ji Eun?

You asked me a childish question, so I'll give you a childish answer.

I like her to the moon and back.

Ms. Lee, do you feel the same way?

Do you also like...

Mr. Seo?

Aren't you going to say "yes"?

Her silence could mean "yes".

He thinks fondly of me even when I have nothing,

so why would I not like that?

That's a very perplexing answer.

It's very hard to be loved.

You should put in some more effort.

I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself...

because I'm worried she might run away if I do.

Ji Eun.

Try this.

The meat is tender, and the sauce is pretty nice.

Thank you.

I always found salmon steak too dry.

But you seem to love it.

Would you like another glass of wine?

We need to work, so let's not drink anymore.

Got it.

Look at you listening to everything she says.

I want to be an obedient guy.

You're head over heels for her.

By the way, do you guys work together?

She's our translator and interpreter regarding our business in China.

Ji Eun is also very good at marketing,

so I'm thinking about scouting her.

I didn't know that.

I was going to ask you today. You're going to say "yes", right?

Let's discuss it later.

You must feel reassured.

It looks like he might turn your life around.

Jung Min became my turning point in life.

A turning point is when you change the way...

you think and behave.

It looks like you'll also become my turning point in life.

It looks like you guys will get along very well.

We also have similar preferences.

Excuse me for a second.

I'm eating right now.

You're with Jung Min, aren't you?

Listen to me carefully.

Don't ever tell him about Se Hoon, okay?

I know what you're thinking.

But I'll deal with it on my own.

Mom, let's talk later. I need to go.

Your mother must be happy.

Your parents always wanted you to marry...

a guy with a nice background just like Seo Jung Min.

You really have a way of surprising people.

Why didn't you tell me there was something going on...

between you and Seo Jung Min?

Was I obligated to tell you that?

No, of course not.

Did you steal his laptop again just like you did with mine?

I want you to be happy with Mi Ran.

So you can be happy with Seo Jung Min?

Don't be so malicious.

You're not the only person who deserves to be happy.

Yes, you deserve to be happy too.

But I wonder if Jung Min knows...

that you once got a divorce.

Of course, he knows.

It's a past I never even want to think about,

but it's still a part of my life.

Come to think of it, you almost married...

his older brother.

Do you think his family will approve of you?

His family knows about my family's past,

so unlike what you think, they might approve.

Although it was a bad choice,

my parents weren't able to change my mind about you either.

Are you really going to marry him?

I never really thought of it,

but I might start considering it thanks to you.

Ji Eun.

What phone call lasted so long?

It was my mom.

You were gone for too long. I missed you.

The salad here tastes delicious.

Let's buy salad and steak for your mother.

No, it's okay.

I'm trying to earn brownie points, so don't try to stop me.

Maybe next time.

The meeting will end late, so the food will get cold.

Then let's bring her here this weekend.

Let's bring Young Eun too.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Can you help me?

Sure.

Thank you.

It's uncomfortable right now, isn't it?

It's not comfortable.

I feel pretty uneasy myself,

but I asked you guys to join us for dinner on purpose.

It won't do you guys any good to tell Jung Min about your past.

I saw you guys, and I figured things would seem more natural...

if I asked you guys to join us.

I'm thinking about telling Jung Min...

because I don't feel comfortable about keeping it from him.

Do you only care about yourself?

Will had to put in a lot of work to get to where he is today.

I know Seorin reached out to him...

and asked him to be their CEO.

But he still needs...

to keep a good relationship with the chairman's son.

What's your point?

Jung Min is the son of Seorin Group's chairman.

If he finds out about you and Will,

it will make things uncomfortable for Will.

And it won't do you any good to tell Jung Min...

that Will is actually your ex-husband.

I'm not sure.

I don't expect to gain anything from this relationship,

so I don't really care.

I must've offended you.

That's not what I meant.

No secret lasts forever,

so I'm sure Jung Min will find out one day.

But can you keep it a secret for the time being?

Will just started working at Seorin.

It's not entirely absurd for me to ask you this,

so I hope you understand.

Don't you want Will to be happy?

Business is all about relationships.

That's why I gave you time...

to pay back the investment.

It's because I think of you as the chairman's son.

I wanted to have a conversation,

but it seems like you want to fight.

A conversation is like...

playing table tennis.

If one person keeps serving the ball...

but the other person refuses to hit back, it's useless.

Mr. Seo.

You're missing something. Don't you get it?

You're in the position to pay back the investment.

But your attitude toward the person in charge...

is pretty arrogant.

So that's what the problem was.

I guess I came off a bit authoritative like my father.

The Korean word "chaebol" that refers to conglomerates...

is even in the English dictionary.

It shows how privileged they are in our society.

"Chaebol".

But of course, I do acknowledge that you're the chairman's son.

Now that we've detected the problem, I hope we'll be able to solve it.

I overlooked the fact that it could cause you...

to feel uncomfortable around me.

As much as I was lucky enough to be born with a rich father...

and a silver spoon,

I should've been more careful about how I behaved.

I admit that I was too arrogant.

Will an apology make you feel better?

I'm sorry.

Everyone makes mistakes.

I accept your apology.

Does that mean we're good now?

I also don't like it when someone's too authoritative,

but it's very much needed when you're in an organization.

It looks like you try really hard to become perfect.

It must be tiring. I'm not being sarcastic.

By the way,

it looks like our deal with China is going to go well,

so I'll be able to pay back the investment.

That's good.

We'll be meeting each other often.

So I hope the two of us will get along.

Didn't they look good together?

You can't fake how much you're close with someone.

I think they both like each other a lot.

Is Ji Eun attractive from a guy's point of view?

I'm not sure.

Ji Eun told me...

that she was blessed to have met a guy like Jung Min...

and that she doesn't want to let him go.

Aside from the fact that he comes from a rich family,

she thinks he's very reliable.

It looks like her ex-husband put her through a lot.

You guys even talk about that kind of stuff?

Girls chat a lot. That's how we become friends.

Back when I interviewed her to be my helper,

I asked her why she wasn't married,

and she told me she got a divorce.

I like Ji Eun. I want to be friends with her.

What do you think about Jung Min?

He's a pretty decent guy.

He doesn't seem like a guy who mistreats women.

Will, the four of us should meet up more often.

It'll be nice to go on double dates.

Like it or not, Jung Min is the chairman's son.

You should get to know him better.

Being friends with him will bring you benefits.

I'll deal with it myself.

You're so sensitive these days that it's hard to speak my mind.

By the way, didn't you have something to tell me?

What is it?

- It's nothing. - I see.

Can't you sleep here tonight?

I need to go to work early tomorrow.

I have a meeting with the executives.

You're not even going to give me a hug today?

Do you not feel well?

You were really quiet throughout the meeting.

I think it's because of the wine I had earlier.

That sounds like an excuse.

Are you angry...

because I kept being too straightforward...

while we were eating dinner with Mi Ran and Mr. Jang?

Judging from that smile, I guess I'm right.

Let me be...

a little childish.

I wanted to tell them...

that you're mine.

And I didn't want...

to get stuck in the friend zone.

I'm not a very good woman for you.

I'm not qualified enough.

What kind of qualifications do you need to be in love?

I want to be in love with you.

I'd like to know...

how it feels to be in love.

"Love"?

Love is overrated.

Are you scared you might love me?

Are you hesitating because of your divorce?

I clearly told you I don't mind.

And it doesn't look like you hate me.

You're right.

I don't hate you.

And you're also too good for me.

What matters is you don't hate me.

Jung Min.

- I... - Let me...

take...

one step closer.

I was ready to get slapped by you...

when I kissed you just now.

I figured this kiss might help you make up your mind about me.

Why aren't you saying anything?

What do you want me to say?

Are you upset that I kissed you all of a sudden?

I know...

that what I did just now wasn't very gentlemanlike.

But I'm not going to apologize.

That kiss is how I feel about you.

I know...

that your feelings for me are sincere.

Are you scared...

that you might get hurt?

Yes.

I'm scared I might get hurt.

And I'm scared I might end up hurting someone again.

- Ji Eun. - Listen to me.

A long time ago,

I was madly in love with this one man.

I couldn't live without him.

That's how much I loved him.

But in the end, I left him.

Why?

But it was too much for me.

It'll be the same with you.

I know marriage isn't everything when it comes to relationships.

But I know...

what your family will think of me.

That's why I don't want to start this.

I know how it feels to have your parents disapprove of someone.

I'll deal with my family.

There are so many things you don't know about me.

And you're being too rash about your feelings right now.

Time doesn't matter.

What matters is how deep my feelings are for you.

It's late. You should go.

Yes, I should go.

My gosh, my feet... They're stuck.

Can you help me?

Come here. Let me hug you.

When will you finally come closer to me?

Fine.

I'll keep going closer to you...

until the gap between us finally disappears.

Don't ever let go of Jung Min.

Stop talking nonsense.

Why is it nonsense?

I know his parents will disapprove because you once got a divorce,

but parents eventually give in to their children.

You ran away from home and got married without permission,

and your dad and I eventually gave up.

I don't want to get married again.

Aren't you sick of living like this?

Do you regret having gotten a divorce?

If it weren't for him,

your dad wouldn't have died.

And we wouldn't have ended up like this.

Mom, that's enough. I'm tired.

You fool.

You'll regret it if you let go of Jung Min.

I'm saying this because I like him.

The three of us have no one to rely on,

and I'd love to have a son-in-law like him.

You didn't even come to work...

saying you still had a cold.

Why are you here when it's time to close?

Should I leave?

Gosh, I didn't mean that.

Give me a glass of beer.

I'm so upset that I don't think I can sleep.

That's why I came.

You still have a cold, so you shouldn't drink.

Wait there.

Drink this.

- What is it? - It's herbal tea.

Did you make it for me?

Yes, I did. Is there a problem?

Give it back if you don't want it.

I should think of your sincerity and drink it.

It tastes amazing.

The only waste in my body is my poop.

Why don't you lend me some money instead of making me herbal tea?

I'll pay you back.

If I fail to pay you back,

I'll work part-time and wash the dishes.

I knew you'd do this one day.

Are you trying to manipulate me?

I'm not a gold digger.

What do you take me for?

Unlike your outer appearance, you seemed to be a good man.

So I thought we could be friends, but you're unbelievable.

And what's so weird about lending money...

from a moneylender?

I'm just worried you might not be able to pay me back.

I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry.

It takes more than an apology to forgive you.

You also need to receive punishment.

What kind of punishment?

Give me some money so I can buy myself an outfit.

Lend me some money already!

Gosh, you're the best when it comes to yelling.

Let me tell you something.

A widow has nothing to fear.

Especially when it comes to her children.

Why? Did something happen to your daughter?

I can't go looking all scruffy.

I don't want to embarrass my daughter.

You're really good when it comes to making people...

feel sorry for you.

Why do you think I'm here?

I saw the four of you at the piano bar,

so I got worried.

You didn't pick up when I called you last night.

Did you think I'd still be hungover?

You should talk about it with me...

so that you can clear your mind.

There's no need to do that.

Are you saying you don't care?

No one intended this to happen, so there's nothing I can do.

In my opinion, telling Mi Ran is one thing,

but the real problem is Seo Jung Min.

If he finds out I'm the ex-husband of the woman he likes,

he'll surely get upset.

Do you know what's even more dangerous...

than his finding out about it?

It's to be the person who tells him that.

You should keep quiet for Ji Eun's sake.

Let's be honest. It's not just for Ji Eun.

I also don't want to be in a pickle because of my ex-wife,

so it's for my sake as well.

(Fantom Sports)

You don't need to worry, sir.

He's competent,

and he also has your support.

I'm sure Seo Jung Min will become a competent business manager.

He's very much like me.

That's why we always butt heads.

Make sure you guide him well.

Why don't you look so well these days?

(Seorin)

- My gosh. - What's going on?

I came to tell you something.

Go ahead.

Ji Eun and Jung Min...

You know Jung Min, right? He's the chairman's son.

He's dating Ji Eun.

And of course, I'm going to have them get married.

So I'm hoping Jung Min doesn't find out about...

your past relationship with Ji Eun.

If he finds out,

it'll be uncomfortable for both you and Ji Eun.

You're here to ask me for a favor, so you should be more polite.

Let me tell you something.

I don't care if he finds out about my past relationship...

with Ji Eun.

This position has nothing to do with the fact...

that I used to be married to her.

Sir, you need to head to the factory in Incheon.

It's time you go back.

Mother.

What brings you here?

Well...

I know someone here.

Young Eun.

Ji Eun's sister sometimes makes an appearance...

on some of the home shopping shows.

Oh, really?

I'll see you next time.

Let me take you home.

No, it's okay. I know you're busy.

Mother, Ji Eun's here too.

She has a meeting with our team today.

(Phoenix 2020)

Do you still feel the need to interfere in my life?

Se Hoon handed over that file to the prosecution...

to get revenge on our family.

You're the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

You asked me to make time for you,

so can I think of this as a date?

I thought about how I'd feel if I were him.

If I had to constantly run into the ex-husband of the woman I love,

I'd become furious.

Jang Se Hoon is my ex-husband.
