(Episode 89)

Honey... Honey, it's you.

You're Ji Eun's father.

How are you still alive?

Does she know me?

What happened to you?

What's going on?

I swear I saw it.

My husband's finger moved a little.

He's in a coma, so that's not possible.

I haven't seen him react to any sound or light.

Your wife is beautiful.

You're so kind to each other. It's like you're newlyweds.

We are newlyweds.

We recently got remarried.

Congratulations.

You and Mr. Kim also have a special relationship, don't you?

You don't look married but...

Gosh, I'm sorry if I crossed the line.

He was my first love.

I met him again when he was brought...

to a hospital 10 years ago.

I was his nurse.

You must've been destined to meet each other.

He was in a very bad state. It was a really bad accident.

I think I heard someone say this.

But is it true that Mr. Kim woke up...

after eight years of having been in a coma?

It's medically hard to explain how it was possible,

but there are patients who wake up from comas every now and then.

Yes, I remember reading about this patient...

who woke up after 27 years.

Mr. Kim had no hope back then. So his ventilator...

(Central Operating Room)

We can easily forge a doctor's note.

He seems hopeless. We should remove the ventilator.

If my brother-in-law wakes up,

I'll be the one having a funeral.

He won't forgive me this time for the money I took from the company.

Of course, I'm not going to tell my sister.

They may have fought like crazy, but they had three kids together.

She won't forgive me if she finds out.

Who are you?

Did you take my husband from the hospital?

Yes.

I brought him here to save his life.

What's that supposed to mean?

Did someone try to kill him?

Tell me exactly what happened.

Your brother.

Your brother tried to kill him.

I overheard his horrible plan.

Your brother didn't want him to wake up.

So he brought a forged consent form...

saying the family doesn't want him to be on life support.

We never removed his ventilator.

You told us he had a heart attack and died.

That was the only way to save him.

I clearly remember what you said back then.

You said you'd rather have him dead...

than to see him stay in a coma.

I only said that because I was upset.

Don't blame me.

You should begin...

by punishing your brother for having done something like that.

I saved his life.

So you have no right to be angry at me.

I'm sure you're baffled.

And I know it's hard to believe.

But I only did the best I could in that situation.

Sang Beom was...

the man I used to love.

You should go home now.

Your husband is here.

As complicated as it is, you should forget about it for now.

I'll see you some other time.

Honey, what's wrong?

She must've been dizzy. She suddenly dropped on her knees.

My goodness. Gosh.

You should've just stayed home.

You weren't feeling so well after the move.

I'm not surprised you're sick.

Should I carry you on my back?

No, it's okay.

Let's go home.

Ma'am, we'll be off now. I'll see you next week.

Come on. Give me your bag.

Always let me know if you don't feel well.

But don't worry.

If you ever hurt your legs, I'll carry you around.

If you ever grow old and can't see properly,

I'll see for you instead.

What's the matter?

Did I touch you?

Don't be too kind to me.

What are you talking about?

You're my wife. I should cherish and love you.

How am I going to explain this to you?

What am I going to do now?

About Mr. Kang's wife...

Wasn't she beautiful?

Mr. Kang is a very kind man.

And he loves his wife very much.

They seem to love each other a lot.

You don't eat other fruits, but you love strawberries.

Do you not get headaches these days?

Tomorrow, you're going to receive treatment for aphasia.

I hope you get your memory back,

and I can't wait until you're finally able to speak again.

Why does it feel like you're hiding something from me?

What is it? Is there something you want to say?

(Has...)

(Has anyone come looking...)

Has anyone come looking for me?

Don't feel too anxious.

The cops have your identity registered in their system,

so I'm sure someone will call.

You look really sick. Let's go to the hospital.

It's okay. I'm just tired.

Don't worry and go to work.

You don't have a fever.

Is there something you want to say?

Never mind. I'll tell you next time.

I'll be off to work then.

Jo Hyun Min, that jerk.

I need to find him first.

(How to find someone who ran away abroad)

A Jun hasn't called, has he?

I'm sure he'll come to work.

This is between me and him, so let me take care of it.

Then what should I do about the promise I made?

I promised to meet Alley's biological mother with him.

I made him that promise, so I want to keep it.

Yes, I think you should.

Good morning.

What's with that complicated look in your eyes?

Life is supposed to be complicated.

I guess you didn't take the tonics I gave you.

Your face is still dark and yellow.

Have the tonics.

It's made with natural mulberries, phellinus linteus,

and wild ginseng.

If you want me to be healthy,

don't do anything to make me angry.

You need to control your anger to build a good character.

You need to refrain from saying too much...

to build inner strength.

And you shouldn't think too much...

in order to have the ability to control your emotions.

So don't think of doing anything reckless...

and just give up on trying to become the chairman.

My gosh.

You guys look so nice together.

Seriously.

You guys should travel around the world and have fun.

That's enough.

I guess I should stop provoking you since the day only just started.

- Take it out. - Yes, ma'am.

I work out by taking the stairs.

I see.

I once climbed up Mount Kilimanjaro.

And later on, I plan to climb Mount Everest.

Let's go.

She's so hard to figure out.

The more I get to know her, the more I find her confusing.

She has no malice, but she's too ambitious.

I don't feel comfortable that she and I have to compete.

You came to work early.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

Jung Min called you several times.

I told you not to try so hard.

When we're angry, we tend to say things we don't mean.

You should resolve the hard feelings you have toward him.

You're the one who made yourself feel that way,

so it's your job to resolve it.

Ms. Lee.

Are you worried I might use my power of attorney...

to vote against Jung Min...

so that he won't become the chairman?

Yes, I'm worried.

But the Chairman Chung I know...

doesn't let his personal life interfere with his business,

and he's our ally.

So I trust he'll support Jung Min more than anyone.

That's very contradictory.

You trust him, but you're worried?

I'm saying I want to trust him.

Then keep trusting him.

We were supposed to meet Alley's biological mother,

but you postponed it.

When is it?

You don't need to keep your promise.

I want to keep the promises I make.

- Good morning. - Hello.

Good morning.

I see you both came to work early again.

Director Seo will get jealous to see you guys together so often.

Ms. Lee, I shouldn't have said that.

Na Kyung, do you act like you're slow-witted on purpose?

Do you always provoke me on purpose?

Do you guys always fight on purpose?

Let's get to work.

May I help you, Ms. Seo?

I'm here on Director Seo's behalf.

He wishes to meet you.

I'm not Seorin's employee.

Must I go see him just because he wants to see me?

He should come to me if he needs to talk.

He said you should come to him if you need to talk.

(Director Seo Jung Min)

Okay. You may leave.

A Jun.

Do you think this is a hotel or your playground?

How dare you ask him to drive your car out for you?

I wasn't feeling well, so I asked him to do me a favor.

You asked for a favor?

Don't you know that it's not allowed?

Are you trying to show off that you're Chairman Chung's son?

Jung Min, that's enough. You're embarrassing A Jun.

This is going against the company rules.

Please don't get involved.

You're going to tell me that I broke the company rules...

just because I asked a security guard to bring my car out?

When will you start behaving yourself?

Do you like seeing people bow down to you...

just because you got in here using your connections?

Don't you think you just crossed the line?

You're the one who crossed the line.

Stop acting so haughty.

Hey! Stop right there!

Was I too harsh on him?

I guess I acted that way because I got jealous.

What's going on?

Director Seo, it looks like the investment...

for the new project we proposed to Chung Group...

might not go through.

Where did you get this information from?

I heard it from the executives of Chung Group.

We didn't get any official messages,

so let's wait and see.

If this information came from the executives,

I think it's pretty much valid.

Sir.

In order to reform a company while trying to keep things stable,

it's essential to have enough money.

If we try to reform the company...

using our own money with no investments whatsoever,

the board members and stockholders will be against it.

And it's highly likely that our plan will go down the drain.

If rumors start to spread saying Chung Group...

has decided not to invest in our new project,

many of your supporters might turn their backs on you.

Then I won't be able to become the chairman.

I'm sure the stockholders felt very safe and secure to know...

that I had the support of Chung Group.

First, it's important to find out if this is all true.

But if we do anything now, it might pressure them,

and that might result in something worse.

So why don't we ask Mr. Shin to ask for us instead?

Sir.

Mr. Shin jokingly said this to me a few days ago.

He told me I should start thinking about...

what I can offer him once he hits the peak of his success.

He also told me he won't take long.

And Chairman Chung apparently told him...

that when you're planning something important,

you should work with an employee who's rational and cool-headed.

What could that important thing be?

I'm somehow bothered by that.

"Something important"?

I'm not sure.

(Director Choi Myung Hwa)

I heard the coffee here tastes great.

I'm sure you're not just here for coffee.

Have a seat. Let's sit down.

(Jung Min)

It looks like Jung Min's calling. Aren't you going to pick up?

We're having a conversation.

I'm a man of manners.

My mom wants you to visit Shanghai.

Did I just get invited?

She must've really liked the painting you sent her.

You must've done your research about my mom.

I've only heard rumors.

I heard she's very beautiful,

does her best to support Chairman Chung,

and that she rarely goes outside.

And I heard she owns a lot of famous artwork from abroad.

That's about it.

Oh, right.

I also heard she loves collecting pottery from the Song Dynasty.

My mom likes things that are graceful and refined.

But it's still hard to understand why she'd pay 43 million dollars...

for a porcelain.

You mean at Sotheby's in Hong Kong? I was there too.

I only saw her from afar.

I think she's planning to build a personal museum at home.

That's why she's inviting you.

I came to tell you this, so I should get going now.

Mr. Shin.

Should I give you a tip?

What do you think you need to do to be happy?

You just need to get what you want.

Don't you want Ji Eun?

So what if I want her? That doesn't mean I can have her.

She's head over heels for Jung Min.

It's too late for me.

There's no such thing as being too late in life.

You just need to make it happen.

Jung Min was right.

What did Jung Min say about me?

He said you know how to enter people's minds.

That's my strength.

Should I tell you what you can do to do the same...

with Ji Eun?

No.

It's not fun to know the future.

It's more fun to enjoy the process of seeing her become mine.

I must say, I'm impressed.

I had to be quick-witted and on my toes to survive,

so I'm not dumb.

Ma'am, I have good news.

I just got a call from Jung Soo Ho.

Apparently, Chung Group is planning to cancel the investment...

they were planning to make on Seorin's new project.

That means it will be difficult for Jung Min to become the chairman.

I'm so happy that my heart is beating like crazy.

I didn't know A Jun had that much influence.

It looks like his mother...

has full control over Chairman Chung.

When a son begs his mother for something,

mothers have no choice but to give them what they want.

He had to tiptoe around the family to survive,

so I'm sure she has a very soft side for him.

I should become closer with A Jun.

Mom, just do as I say.

You're good at convincing Stepdad.

You agreed to help me out, so do it properly.

You're a pro at making him change his mind,

so I'll leave that to you.

Meanwhile, I just need to receive his acknowledgment...

by exceeding his expectations regarding the joint project.

And I need someone to support me here.

So find a decent guy and send him to Seorin.

Dad is also a major shareholder.

So he has every right to recommend a CEO.

I'm going to have one of my guys become the CEO of Seorin...

and make him be my avatar until I finally take over.

I want you to get moving right now. We have no time.

(Restricted area)

I can't wait to see how Jung Min will react to this.

Dad is also a major shareholder.

So he has every right to recommend a CEO.

I'm going to have one of my guys become the CEO of Seorin...

and make him be my avatar until I finally take over.

Turn it off right now.

Sir, I think you should prepare yourself for this.

Ms. Seo.

Thank you for caring.

But don't ever do this again.

It's illegal to record a private conversation.

I don't want people to criticize me...

thinking I made you do this.

It was very thoughtless of me.

I only recorded it because I was worried he might harm you.

But I guess it could've gotten you in bigger trouble.

I'm sorry, sir.

I won't ever do this again.

I'll delete it right now. I'm sorry.

(Recording File 2)

(Delete)

It's okay. People make mistakes.

But not many people are able to acknowledge their mistakes.

I feel very reassured to know that a wise woman like you...

is working for me as my secretary.

I'm going to do everything I can to support you, sir.

If anyone gets in your way,

I won't stand still.

You moved back to your old house,

and you even got back together with Jung Min.

Only good things keep happening to you, Ji Eun.

Congratulations.

I'm so happy for you. I really mean it.

Thank you.

I'm really grateful too. I'm also very happy.

But Bok Ja,

I find myself feeling nervous at times.

There's no need to feel nervous.

You're only feeling that way because you've been through so much.

I guess I just have a habit of worrying.

You've seem to have lost so much weight.

Is work stressing you out?

I've been doing this for years, so everything's fine with work.

But as you know, my love life is complicated.

Didn't you get back together with Yeo Jin?

I don't know if we're broken up or not.

Regardless of whether or not you're dating,

you and Yeo Jin have known each other for a long time.

I think that's the problem.

We've known each other for so long,

so it feels awkward not having him around.

But I'm not ready to fight against his mother's disapproval,

so I also feel like running away.

To be honest, I was really hurt.

Yeo Jin's mother treated me like I was a criminal or something.

I was dumbfounded and furious at the same time.

He may be a precious son to her.

But let's be honest. Yeo Jin doesn't have much to offer.

You must've been really hurt.

But let me tell you something.

If you really love each other, you can't break up.

Just like me and Jung Min.

Unbelievable.

Do you know how annoying you are right now?

It's impossible to break up with him.

- Here. - What's this?

You're running low on sugar, aren't you?

By the way, Ji Eun,

your sister, Young Eun, can be a bit silly, but she's cute.

I bet it'd be fun to have a little sister like her.

You know my sister?

I'd like to get to know her.

Are you interested in her?

She's cute.

You totally drew a line between us that day.

Don't you remember?

That means I can start liking someone else.

But I still like Bok Ja a bit more.

Thank you.

What?

You told me to come see you if I needed to talk.

What do I need to do...

to make you feel better?

Break up with Ji Eun.

(Phoenix 2020)

Break up with Ji Eun.

Do you think you'll feel better by hurting me?

I'm done talking to you. Get lost.

You look really depressed. Should we turn on some music?

I should spend a lot of time with you, Ms. Seo.

The man with a cane left just now in a hurry.

If you don't tell me what it is that you're hiding from me,

I should find out myself.

I need some time. I'll see you tomorrow.
