It's all thanks to you, Ji Eun.

The photo exhibition went well,

so I won't have to be so nervous
about the fake painting for long.

But Director Choi,
there's something strange.

The reporter who threatened
Chairman Seo...

wasn't even on the list of guests.

And no one overheard
our conversation.

So how did anyone find out
that Mi Ran could walk again?

Here's what I think.

If that reporter really wanted
to publish an article about it,

he wouldn't have called
the chairman.

What matters is
that he wanted to get paid.

And I don't think anything
will happen...

until Mi Ran finally announces
that she can walk tomorrow.

Do you know which newspaper company
the reporter works for?

(Yoon Mi Ran's press conference,
A wheelchair miracle)

(I have great news for everyone.
What I'm about to tell you is...)

(VIP Styling Event, Report)

(Seorin Group,
4th Quarter Sales Report)

(Financial Statements)

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)

Why are you so incompetent?

If things keep going like this,
we'll be at a deficit again.

We haven't been able to collect...

the money that was invested
into the joint project.

So that wasn't reflected
in the sales report.

We both know we have to wait
until we launch the brand...

for the joint project to make money.

But you still should've made results
in the short-term.

How are you going to deal with
the money we lost due to the fire?

I'm still talking about it
with the strategy and planning team.

I bet my chances on you...

because I thought you'd bring me
a big bonus.

But you've failed
to meet my expectations,

and you're the one
causing trouble these days.

I'm truly sorry about
what happened with Mi Ran.

If you fail to deal with this,

you could end up getting fired.

Yes, of course.
If I make the company lose money,

it's only right that I leave.

After tomorrow's press conference,

the wheelchair incident
will no longer be an issue.

From what I heard,
you even once got a divorce.

Why do you have
such bad taste in women?

Look at the mess
that Mi Ran has caused.

Mi Ran needs to tell the press
that she could start walking...

after the styling event...

in order for people to believe her.

So you'd better convince her.

She already agreed to cooperate.

She knows it's better for her
to announce that she can walk.

So she won't cause any more trouble.

If we fail to catch the informant,

things can get out of hand.

I'll deal with it, sir.

There's something suspicious
about him.

You look tired.

I shouldn't be tired yet.
I need to hang in there.

We all live with the consequences
of our choices.

I stayed quiet about
Mi Ran's performance on stage,

so it's only right
that I take responsibility.

We all feel pressured
when things become...

too difficult to handle.

But even if I feel pressured,

the right thing to do is
to keep myself together.

People say...

it takes a long time for you
to become the person you want to be.

But you're a tenacious person,

so I'm sure you'll overcome
the hardships that come your way.

Please make sure Mi Ran
doesn't do anything unexpected.

Why did it take you so long
to write the report?

You kept me waiting all day!

"Bisang Apparel"?

(1990 to 2010: Bisang Apparel
Accredited reporter)

(In 2009 with my old friend
and chairman of Bisang Apparel)

It's me.

I checked the blog
you told me earlier,

and it turns out the reporter
who called Chairman Seo...

used to be an accredited reporter
to Bisang Apparel.

It didn't even take me a second
to realize...

that Ji Eun is the informant.

Taking revenge is like
digging up two graves.

Are you ready to risk everything?

I've been through
a lot of horrible things.

So I'm also capable
of doing them myself.

Love is bound to betray
and disappoint.

But I should teach Ji Eun a lesson.

She should know what will
happen to her if she gets in my way.

(Reporter Kim: I'm here!)

Where did you get this video?

I got an email from
an anonymous person on Christmas.

When I clicked on the email,

I saw videos of Mi Ran walking.

Who could it be?

Why did that person send it to you?

I'm not sure.

But I suddenly thought to myself...

that maybe someone sent it to me
on Christmas...

to tell me that I don't
need to be scared.

It also felt like...

that person was reprimanding me
for not stopping Mi Ran...

from going up on stage.

As you already know,
I used to be a helper.

And getting hired here
for the joint project...

was a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for me.

And in the end,

I compromised because I didn't
want to lose that opportunity.

And that's how you got involved
in Yoon Mi Ran's mess?

Anyway, it was a great idea
for you to use Chairman Seo.

He's the only person...

who will do absolutely everything...

to save his company from a crisis.

But he'll surely try his best
to find out who was behind this.

My getting fired is
the worst thing that could happen.

I know there's no way back,
but I don't regret it.

But of course, I realized
that financial instability...

could really pressure you.

So I was always intimidated
and scared.

I pretended to be cheerful.

But every time the sun came up,

I was scared to get through the day.

Ji Eun.

You know how much I admire
your late father, right?

Your father once...

told me this.

"There are three ways
to live your life."

"You can run away,
be a bystander,"

"or take the bull by its horns."

Whenever I'm faced with a problem,

I always think of
what he said to me.

But most of the time,
I make excuses...

and choose to be a bystander.

But unlike me,
your father liked facing things.

I'm sorry I made you
get involved in this.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

I don't have much to lose.

And people already hate me
for being a reporter.

So you don't need to worry.

I've pulled myself together.

And I learned
that there's always a way...

as long as you're determined
to make things work.

Yes.
Your father will be proud of you.

(Yoon Mi Ran's press conference,
A wheelchair miracle)

It's up to me to decide what I want.

Who are they to tell me what to do?

If I don't want to get condemned
for lying,

I guess it'd be better to announce
that I'm able to walk again.

You look like you're doing okay.
I'm relieved.

You told me you're not worried
or curious about me anymore.

So why are you here?

Oh, I see.

You must be here
to check up on me...

because you were worried I might not
show up to the press conference.

Yes, I came to make sure
you show up.

It looks like I have the upper hand.

Instead of making a promise
I can't keep,

it might be better to just decline.

Do you know how much trouble
you've caused to everyone?

You're just upset
because I put Ji Eun in trouble.

Will you please think properly?

This is related to Seorin Group.

And you'll be put on the spot
for lying to everyone.

I don't care.

People can badmouth me
all they want.

It's not like they're
going to live my life for me.

So I don't care.

If what I did ended up
putting Ji Eun in trouble,

that's enough to satisfy me.

Why are you taking it out on her?

The reason we broke up is because
we no longer trust each other.

We're the ones to blame.

No, you're the one to blame.

You were the one who made my anxiety
turn into anger.

It's because you changed.

Then what about you?

You doubted me and pressured me.

And you lied to me...

even though you could walk.

You used my guilt against me.

So how do you expect me to love you?

"Love"?

Don't you dare say that word.

You have no right to use that word.

Everything happens for a reason.

Even though I could walk,

I couldn't tell you
the great news...

because that's how anxious
you made me feel.

You promised to stay by my side,
but you broke that promise.

No, you made me break it.

I asked you to understand.

I clearly told you
that I don't intend on...

getting back together with her.

I told you that Ji Eun
is just someone...

who left me with
a lot of pain and regret.

So I asked you to wait
until I'm okay again...

even if I get swayed
for a little while.

I asked you that so many times.

If you hadn't used my guilt
against me,

I wouldn't have
turned my back on you.

You said you loved me,
but you only cared about yourself.

And that's why
things won't ever get better...

no matter how hard we try.

Why don't you be honest
about yourself?

The only reason
you gave up on Ji Eun...

is because she's with Jung Min now.

You keep giving me excuses,
and I'm sick of it.

And since you're
continuing to be so lame,

I should keep acting this way too.

Mi Ran.

You're very frustrating.

The door was open,
so I let myself in.

You should try to make her
open up first.

Stop pressuring her like that.

You should've come here
without your pride.

I always knew you were inflexible,

but if you keep acting that way,

you'd only be provoking her
to act out.

I get so angry
every time I talk to her.

We all feel two emotions at once.

Desire and fear.

She still desires to hold onto you.

And I know she said...

she doesn't care about
getting condemned.

But we live among others.

I'm sure she's scared of being
labeled as a liar by the public.

Don't worry about her.
You should go.

I'll talk to her.

When did you find out
about me and Ji Eun?

Jung Min told me.

But of course,
I haven't told the chairman.

Jung Min told me
he can't live without Ji Eun,

so I should encourage him.

I'm not interested in doing business
with his marriage.

And Ji Eun is a decent woman...

apart from the fact
that she was married once.

I'd be satisfied to have her
as my daughter-in-law.

I'll be off then.

You should get some rest.

Maybe it's because the chairman
nagged at you all day,

but you look very exhausted.

You lost Mr. Jang,
but you're able to walk now.

And you'll be able
to get your life back.

Isn't that a good thing?

Who are you to keep being so nosy?

Are you going to be angry
for about another hour?

Then I'll wait.

Mi Ran, you're confused, aren't you?

I think I could help.

What a horrible mother.

Why? What is it?

There's this app where you can
sell used items,

and someone uploaded a post
saying she'd like...

to sell her baby for 200 dollars.

My goodness,
what a monstrous person.

So what? What happened to the baby?

The baby was taken to a facility...

and is getting ready to get adopted.

The mother must've been
a single mother.

She had the baby
because she got pregnant.

But the guy ran away,

and she didn't think she could
raise the baby on her own.

She tried to give the baby up
for adoption,

but apparently,
the process is very complicated.

So she got angry and ended up
doing something so horrible.

She did it out of anger?

No matter how angry she was,
she's insane...

for wanting to sell her own baby.

I know I have no right
to judge or criticize others...

since I don't know
what they're going through.

But what happened to that baby
is absolutely horrible.

If the baby grows up
and hears this story,

he won't be able
to live a normal life.

People go astray
because of their scars.

Goodness, I feel so bad.

If the baby's foster parents
give him a lot of love,

then his anger will subside.

Just because you gave birth
doesn't mean you're a good parent.

It might be better for the baby
to get adopted...

and meet nice foster parents.

My goodness.

It's our job as parents
to take care of our kids...

until they become adults.

But I failed to do that,

so I don't deserve
to be a father either.

That's nonsense.

It's not like
you abandoned your son.

You just got unlucky and lost him.

I'm sure he lived a happy life
with really nice foster parents,

and I'm sure
he's doing well right now.

They say,
"Sincerity moves the skies."

You always donate money
and do volunteer work.

You're always busy
doing kind things.

So I bet the skies got touched...

and took good care of your son.

We've been through enough to know.

There's a reason why people say,
"What goes around comes around."

That's why I stayed hopeful
and refused to live in despair.

If I die later on
and end up meeting the deity,

and it turns out my son
lived an unhappy life,

I swear I'll grab that deity
by the collars.

Okay, I'll help.

You know I can be really mean
with my words.

It's very reassuring
to have such a brave girlfriend.

Hey.

What's on your mind this time?

I messed up.

What?

I tried to be smart,
but it ended up in a mess.

I pretended like I was dating
to make her feel jealous.

But I'm the one
who ended up getting jealous.

Is that girl you're interested in
dating someone else?

Gosh, I'm just going to
get myself a beer.

Hey, you seem young,
so let me ask you something.

Do you know how to start...

your own YouTube channel?

We're trying to upload a video
so we can find someone.

It's simple. You just need to
film a video with your cell phone...

and upload it on the site.

Then how can we add subtitles
and edit the video?

Well...

You just need to click on "options".

"Options"?

Where can we buy that?

Is it expensive?

He's rich, you know.

My gosh.

I don't know much,

but it sounds like we need
to click on something.

Is that correct?

Yes, that's right.

But I'm not sure
if you'll be able to do it.

Adding subtitles and editing
the video can be very complicated,

although uploading videos
is fairly easy.

Do you know how to do it?

Yes, I know.

But are you going to ask me
for help?

Gosh.

Not for free.
We'll pay you, of course.

But who is it that you want to find
by uploading a video?

My son.

I lost him 23 years ago.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey.

You got off work late today.

Didn't your boss
drive you home today?

Jung Min went to Hong Kong
on a business trip.

Hello, it's surprising to meet you.

People at the company already know
that you're dating Director Seo.

It looks like you're the only one
who didn't know.

Mom, I'm thinking about quitting.

Well, I understand.

You're dating the chairman's son...

who's also the director.

So the employees could feel
uncomfortable about it.

If you marry Jung Min,

you'll become the chairman's
daughter-in-law.

So you were bound
to quit one day anyway.

Just because we're dating doesn't
mean we're going to get married.

You're just going to date
at your age?

When a man and woman like
each other, they date,

get married, and have kids.

That's the norm.

On top of that, it looks like
Jung Min is ready to spend...

the rest of his life with you.

Jung Min would've been upset
if he heard you say that.

Even if Jung Min
turns out to be the one...

who will be living with me
for the rest of my life,

I don't want to just stay home
and be a housewife.

Does he want you
to be a housewife?

I don't know.
We never really talked about that.

But Jung Min already knows
what kind of woman I am.

He told me I'm really ambitious.

If our family business
didn't go bankrupt,

you would've inherited
Bisang Apparel.

And you'd have your own office...

as the chairwoman.

Mom, don't laugh.

Do you know what my dream is?

I never said it out loud.

But my dream is to reestablish...

Bisang Apparel.

My grandpa started the company
as Bisang Textile,

and Dad built it
into Bisang Apparel.

We may have gone bankrupt,

but we can always start over again.

I know, but things are different.

We can't start a business
without a steppingstone.

Instead of wondering whether or not
something is possible,

it's better to wonder
whether or not to take action.

Isn't that such a great saying?

It sounds nice,

but things aren't easy in real life.

Just marry Jung Min...

and build Seorin into a bigger firm.

Mom, my definition of success...

isn't making a lot of money...

or becoming someone with
a lot of power.

It's more like my desire...

to make up for Dad's death
since he passed away because of me.

He didn't die because of you.

He was just destined
to die at that age.

So don't blame yourself.

It's going to break his heart.

I think about him a lot these days.

You have a lot to do now.

If anything gets in the way...

of your succeeding the company,

I'll deal with it.

And I'll do everything to make sure
everything goes smoothly.

However, Ji Eun,
I can only be your steppingstone.

When it comes to power,
you need to gain it yourself.

Don't let anyone else have control.

You need power
to suppress your opponent...

in order to lead a company.

And that's how you can
protect yourself...

from those who try to sway you.

You have my faith, Ji Eun.

I wonder who it was...

that helped me take action
at the right timing.

(Title: Chance)

"Chance"?

Let me use this chance
to make you trust me.

Let me use this chance
to be stubborn today...

so I can feel at ease.

Jung Min?

I was just about to press on...

"Call Me".

I was just about to call you,
Jung Min.

I guess we had
a telepathic connection.

I got here in the afternoon,
so I was busy.

That's why it took me
a while to call.

I bet today was a long day for you.

Your report was due today,

and I bet the chairman
was harsh on you again.

I'm sorry.
Let me apologize on his behalf.

You don't need to apologize.

I fully deserve to get scolded
for what happened.

What matters is that I compromised.

And I brought it upon myself.

If I was determined to stop Mi Ran
from going up on stage,

I would've done everything
to stop her.

So from now on,

if anything unexpected...

or scary happens to me again,

worrying about myself
will be the last thing I do.

I may have been desperate,

but I wasn't courageous enough
to actually change myself.

It sounds like you've become
a lot more resolute.

But just know that there's nothing
you can do alone.

And my job is to protect you.

You really are a lifesaver,
Jung Min.

I miss you, Ji Eun.
Why don't you show me your face?

Let's do a video call.

No, I look like a mess right now.

You make me
want to see you even more.

I'm going to call you right away.
You'd better pick up, okay?

My gosh.

Goodness.

My gosh, he really
doesn't know much about women.

Women don't like doing video calls
at night.

Did you put lip balm on?

Your lips are glossy.

Did you miss my kiss?

Must I tell you that?

I miss you
even when you're next to me.

You make me want to run over to you.

Jung Min, why do you love me?

Ji Eun, listen to this.

"I will go to you like snowflakes."

"I will not hesitate, waver,"

"or conceal."

"I just wish to be a part
of your innocent life..."

"and become a warm winter for you."

It's a poem called "Winter Love"
written by Moon Jung Hee.

And it's exactly how I feel.

Because my love for you tells me
I should help you...

carry your burden.

I love you, Jung Min.

I love you.
