Original subtitles

(Episode 40)

Slow down. You'll get an upset stomach.

I might use you again a few more times.

Did Chairman Seo ask you to come to his office?

Yes.

Was he harsh on you?

Yes.

But it was nothing compared to what my family did to you.

- Ji Eun. - I have nothing to say to you,

and I have nothing to hear from you either.

Let's just eat.

Do you want to see who eats faster?

The loser will have to pay.

It's good.

You look pretty today.

I'm not just pretty.

I'm also very attractive and sexy.

Yes.

You sounded very sexy every time you threatened me.

This reminds me of the old times.

We had ox bone soup here...

on our first date.

I don't even remember how I ended up...

falling in love with you.

You really won't open up to me.

The past is just the past.

Just be loyal to the woman you're with right now.

You feel so distant that I can't even reach out to you anymore.

Do you only exist in my memories?

Director Seo, let go of my hand.

Ji Eun, I won't condone this again.

Let's go.

I never asked you to condone anything.

Let's go to eat.

What do you think?

Hey, you punk. Stop right there.

You little punk.

Do you have a death wish?

You should apologize for bumping into me.

You little punk.

What do you think you're doing?

Hey.

(Ox bone soup)

I'd like to give you a ride, but I bet you'll refuse.

Why do you ask if you already know?

I always thought our past kept us from going forward.

But we might be the ones clinging onto the past.

We have more days to live.

So let's let go of our past and start focusing on our future.

Thank you for today.

Hey, Ho Jin.

Se Hoon, there's something you need to know.

What is it?

It's about Seo Jung Min.

(Gangnam Police Station)

(Lockup 2)

(Lockup)

Director Seo.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry for making you come here at this hour.

Whatever the situation was,

what matter is that I punched them first.

So give them their compensation.

Okay, sir.

Mr. Jang is here too.

Detective.

Did you come here to see how I look?

- Can we talk? - "We"?

Don't you know that I hate you?

I don't hate you.

Well, I'm going to keep hating you.

So keep that in mind.

- Did you settle everything? - Yes.

They provoked him first.

They're also at fault for committing assault,

but I just compensated them...

just in case they might raise an issue about this.

Those gangsters gave me a 180-degree bow.

Thanks for taking care of it.

Seo Jung Min must be having a hard time...

seeing that he even got into a fist-fight.

I'm pretty sure it hurt his pride.

Did something happen?

If he finds out what Ji Eun tried to hide,

it'd make him happy.

(Phoenix, Love)

A phoenix?

What does a phoenix have anything to do with love?

Have you ever seen a phoenix before?

A phoenix is a mythological bird that lives...

in the Arabian Desert.

After living for 600 years,

it gathers a pile of wood in the middle of the desert...

and uses sunlight to start a fire.

Then it uses its wings to keep it burning...

and throws its body into the fire to kill itself.

That's so sad.

But from its ashes, a baby phoenix is born again.

So you don't need to be so sad.

I see.

No wonder it looks so passionate and ardent.

A passionate and ardent love just like a phoenix.

Rather than passion and ardency,

the artist might've aimed to show...

that love might require one's sacrifice.

A love that requires sacrifice.

I can't believe I once said those words.

What happened?

What happened to your hand?

You don't need to worry.

How can I not worry?

You should go to your room.

Your father is in his study.

He'll be worried if he finds out.

I know you won't tell me even if I ask you what happened.

But Jung Min,

won't you let me be a part of your life?

I'm always grateful for your effort.

I read in a book...

that you're being tested when you don't know what to do.

The tougher and more difficult the situation becomes,

refrain from doing things that you shouldn't do.

When things get tough and difficult,

do what you must do.

I like you because you're not like your father.

Get some rest.

What is it that I must do?

Ji Eun must be home.

Isn't it too early to close the restaurant?

We had a leaking faucet, so we had to scoop out the water.

You didn't do anything.

I was the one who scooped out all the water.

I still wiped the floor dry.

Thanks to me, your mom does the dishes...

and even wipes floors now. She's changed so much.

Aren't you grateful?

Stop talking nonsense.

I used to spend time playing golf.

But now that my situation is different,

I either had to change or just die.

But I wanted to live, so I had no choice but to change.

Are you good at playing golf?

Should we go play golf?

Sure.

Golf helps you relieve your stress.

You can think of it as welfare for your part-timer...

and pay for everything.

Sure. Why not?

I was kidding.

Just buy me a late-night snack.

Didn't you guys eat dinner?

We had something light.

But we're both hungry because we had to take care...

of the water leak.

Should we order something?

Mr. Kang, why do you keep coming to our house?

You little brat. Must you be so rude?

He pays me money. He's my boss.

I get that he gives you your paycheck,

but why does he keep coming to our place?

Young Eun, do you not like me?

That's not what this is about.

I'm fine just as long as you don't date my mom.

To make myself clear,

I will never allow it.

That's up to Mom to decide.

You should congratulate them if they both like each other.

Mom.

Does your heart pound when you're with him?

My heart only pounds when I climb the stairs.

I'm too old for that kind of stuff.

That's good.

You know Young Eun can be a little cold to people, right?

They say you should become friends with the most difficult person.

If I'm going to keep hitting on your mom,

I should become friends with Young Eun first.

Why do you keep trying to hit on me?

Why do you think men hit on women?

Your mom needs to stop playing hard to get.

Silence could sometimes mean a yes.

You're the one who should be hitting it off with Jung Min.

My wish is to see you and Jung Min...

live a happy life together.

Mom.

These days, women are refusing to get married.

Did something happen between you and Jung Min?

No.

I need to finish writing up a report.

Have fun, Mr. Kang.

Gosh, stop.

Stop being so nosy.

Just let her deal with it on her own.

I know she's your daughter, but you need to respect her privacy.

And you know better than anyone...

that she's strong-minded since you're her mother.

I'm just worried.

Ji Eun has a lot of scars.

Everyone goes through a tough moment in their lives.

But we must deal with them ourselves.

You just need to be there for her as a parent.

Stop being so obsessive over your child.

I should go now.

It's a bit embarrassing to stay after what just happened.

I was just about to get a little obsessive.

Over me?

No. Over our late-night snack.

(Seorin)

Ji Eun.

It's been way too long.

Na Kyung?

You remember me, right?

I can't believe we meet again.

Important events in life apparently happen by coincidence.

Although this seems more like fate than a coincidence.

I'll be working in the TF team starting from today.

(Han Na Kyung)

I see you're not very glad.

I know what you're worried about.

But Mr. Jang is my boss now.

So I won't mention anything about your past.

Is that good enough for you?

Ms. Lee, will you please excuse us?

I didn't even say much.

I personally think I know quite about you.

If you ever put Ji Eun in trouble,

things won't be pretty for you either.

As long as I'm around,

you'd better keep in mind what I just said.

My name is Han Na Kyung.

I'm in charge of PR.

I look forward to working with everyone.

We had already agreed to hire additional personnel...

from outside the company,

and she got to join our team...

based on the chairman's orders.

Like what the chairman said,

the TF team has a lot of work to do.

So try your best to help each other out...

and build good teamwork.

Don't hate me for getting the job by using my connections.

Ms. Han.

Please don't interrupt Mr. Jang.

Jung Min.

Back when our families wanted your brother and I to get married,

your brother was actually dating someone.

From what I heard, they were together for a long time.

No one's ever told me that before.

I met her a couple of times.

Her name was...

Oh, I remember now. It was Na Kyung. Her name was Han Na Kyung.

We have a VIP styling event this afternoon, right?

Can you give me a briefing on that?

The VIP guests that got invited today...

are members of Seorin Group's private club...

and female leaders from different backgrounds.

The theme of this year's VIP styling event...

is all about achieving a sense of noblesse oblige,

which will be a mixture of noblesse and cause marketing.

It's a meaningful event.

This is very important, so please be extra careful...

not to make any mistakes.

I'm sure there will be other staff members there,

but since it's a VIP event,

I should attend since I'm in charge of PR.

Yes, go ahead.

Ms. Lee was in charge of the entire event,

so you can go and help her out.

Your competence comes from responsibility.

So I'll do be responsible and do my best to support her.

Director Seo, is there anything else you'd like to say?

No, not really.

Then you can get back to work.

We have no choice but to see each other every day.

So let's try to get along.

It's our job to bring a profit to the company.

So be good partners and get along with each other.

I trust...

that you'll help me out a lot.

First, read this...

so you can get an overall grasp of today's event.

Ms. Han.

Can we talk?

Come to my office.

Ms. Han.

When you work at a company, there are procedures...

and ranks.

Please don't disrespect the director...

when you talk to him.

You must have something to say about everything.

You kind of seem like the type who makes a big deal out of nothing.

She's the type who wants attention.

On top of that, she got the job using her connections.

It looks like she's directly acquainted with the chairman,

so we shouldn't cross her.

He helped her get the job,

so if we mess with her, we'll get in trouble.

Connections are also part of your competence.

Do you need me to do something?

The first person to make a mistake is the one who will lose.

Everyone wants to win.

But Ms. Choi,

Ms. Han and I are teammates, and we need to work together.

So I'll do my best to get along.

Thank you for worrying about me.

The more I get to know you, the more pleasant you become.

I think I get why the director fell for you.

By the way, did something happen yesterday?

Why did Director Seo hurt his hand?

I joined the TF team...

because you asked me to.

But I'm here handing out posters.

It's part of our strategy to wait for the right timing.

Stay quiet.

Director Choi.

Hello. Welcome.

People really wanted to get invited to this event because of you.

I'm just glad you're always willing to attend.

Director Choi, do you have your own stylist?

Why would I need a stylist?

They say you need good looks in order to pull off a nice outfit.

But even regardless of that, you dress so well.

You don't even dress yourself with luxury brands.

How do you manage to make your outfits look so nice?

I just wear things that make me feel comfortable.

I just try to match the colors.

I look forward to receiving your styling tips on golf wear.

Of course. It's the minister's orders.

My husband is the minister, not me.

If the husband is the minister, so is the wife.

Actually, that makes you a lot more powerful.

You always have a way of flattering people.

- I'll see you. - Yes, I'll see you later.

Director Choi, it's time for the event to begin.

I'm still waiting for one more person.

Try to buy some time.

We need to stick to the schedule.

Ji Eun, I didn't take you to be so talkative.

There she is. The person I've been waiting for.

The traffic was bad.

It's okay.

She's Yoon Mi Ran.

She's recently become very popular on social media.

She was a top model in the States,

and she's Mr. Jang's fiancee.

Thanks to their romantic love story,

our stock price went up,

and it made the chairman very happy.

I already know her.

It wasn't for long, but she used to be my helper.

A helper? A helper for what?

I used to work as a housekeeper.

I see.

What took you so long?

Does Ji Eun not know that we're best friends?

Mi Ran and I are like sisters.

When will I be going on stage?

You should get ready.

Mi Ran needs to get changed, so help her out.

Let's go.

(VIP Styling Class with Fantom Sports)

This is how I want things to go.

(Rehearsal, Part 1, Part 2)

Director Choi, you can't change the schedule at the last minute.

It'll cause confusion.

Is this why Jung Min likes you?

Because you're assertive and difficult?

Women who are easy aren't very attractive.

I used to like you,

but you're starting to upset me by disobeying me.

I know you're flustered by the last-minute request.

But I just want Mi Ran to go on stage for a short while.

I don't get why you're against it.

I'm not against it.

Seorin Group supports and funds...

golf tournaments played by golfers with disabilities.

And we can have Mi Ran...

go on stage as a special guest after we finish styling the models.

But if you had told me about it beforehand,

I would've been able to prepare it more thoroughly.

I just came up with the idea on my way to the event.

You know Seorin seeks to be an esteemed company...

by giving back to our society, right?

Just introduce it as a special event...

and introduce her based on what's there...

I guess there never really is a perfect lie.

The outfit you're looking at right now...

is a windproof sweater that is essential for the winter.

It has windproof fabric on the inside of the sweater.

It's a must-have item for the winter season...

because you can stay warm just by wearing a sweater.

Among our other winter outfits,

the swing down jacket is very popular.

The swing down jacket goes well with different bottom outfits...

such as leggings, trouser skirts, pants, and so on.

It's made with goose down and jersey fabric.

So it won't feel uncomfortable when you do your swing.

We have a special event ready for you in part two.

Seorin Group has been donating money...

to the disabled golf association as well as sponsoring...

many other organizations.

Today, Yoon Mi Ran, the famous top model...

will be doing a fashion show for us in a wheelchair.

So I hope you all look forward to it.

(VIP Styling Class with Fantom Sports)

You may start enjoying your food...

and receive your 1 on 1 styling tips.

Excuse me. Are you the person in charge?

Yes.

I left my scarf...

in the fitting room earlier.

But they won't let me in...

saying the model is getting changed.

Can you please get it for me?

Of course. I'll go get it for you.

I put the brochures beneath the table.

Do you really need me to come?

Okay, fine. I'll be right there.

It's not here.

I'm glad you're here.

Can you help me wear the golf shoes?

Can't you be kind enough to help a disabled person?

Of course, I should help people who are disabled.

But I don't help people who have malice in their hearts.

Mi Ran, save the act for the show.

(Phoenix 2020)

Why do you think I'm telling you this, Jung Min?

Because it might motive Jang Se Hoon to go back to Ji Eun?

Stop right there, Ji Eun.

I know you like me too.

Yes, I like you.

I won't let you cry all by yourself.

I guess your life wasn't that easy either.

I hope you meet a nice woman.

Ji Eun, can you start loving Seo Jung Min a little later?

I don't think I have a lot of time left.
