(Seorin)

(Episode 90)

What do I need to do...

to make you feel better?

Break up with Ji Eun.

You only see what you know.

You need to learn how it feels...

to say goodbye to someone you love.

A Jun.

I understand how you feel.

I can see that you're exhausted.

If you know that so well, then just break up.

Jung Min.

Stop being so pretentious.

You have no idea how heartbroken I am.

If you did,

you wouldn't have asked me what to do.

Alley died because of you, and I'm furious at you for that.

The first thing you should've done was apologize to us.

Okay, fine. I will.

I will go to Alley's grave and apologize to her.

And I'm sorry...

that I had no idea how hurt you were.

But A Jun,

I couldn't give Alley that bag when I knew it was filled with drugs.

If I had known the situation,

I would've tried to come up with a wiser decision.

It's useless to say that now, so just drop it.

You're right.

It's all useless now.

But I also have to live with this for the rest of my life.

I had absolutely no idea that Alley died...

because she lied to protect me.

I'm also very shocked and heartbroken.

It makes my heart ache.

But we can't live our lives feeling this way forever.

We...

We need to get over it...

in order for us to live.

That's too bad.

I'm not as determined as you are.

So I don't think I can do that.

I think I'll finally feel better once I see you...

lose everything.

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

Fine.

How much do you want to hurt me?

You're so conceited, Jung Min.

I'm sick of it.

I'm done talking to you. Get lost.

I think it's going to take some time for A Jun to come around.

We both knew it'd take him a while.

What an exhausting day.

I need some time to organize my thoughts.

You should go home first. I'll see you tomorrow.

(CEO Lee Ji Eun)

You should go home.

So did you win or lose?

Look at how I look right now. I obviously didn't lose.

Liar.

They are in an emergency right now.

"Emergency"?

Emergency, my foot. Come here.

Stay... Stay still.

Be more gentle, will you?

If you ever get into another fistfight,

I won't let you in my house.

Brother, don't be so harsh to your poor friend.

You're not poor.

You got yourself a rich stepdad.

I told you not to bring that up.

You're so mean.

She's not mean.

Alley's a lot kinder than you.

See that? Jung Min is on my side.

You must be happy to have each other's backs.

By the way, why do you keep hanging around with Lucas?

I heard he's a member of a Hispanic gang.

He's a kind guy.

Is that why he's a gang member?

Anyway, don't hang around with him.

If you don't listen to me, I'll just cut ties with you.

Stop scaring me.

So listen to me.

Listen to him.

Come over here, you copycat.

What? Hey...

You're still here?

I couldn't go home because you were still here.

Plus, it'd be wrong to do that.

You should go now.

Let's go home together. I'll give you a ride.

Meet me at the entrance.

What is it?

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

Music makes you feel better.

That's not a bad idea.

It's "The Phantom of the Opera".

The female lead, Christine, sings a song called "Think of Me".

Is that the soundtrack in this album?

Yes, probably.

Sir, what do you think love is?

Love.

It's great, but it's also very hard.

You need to stay faithful and loving toward the other person.

That's why I think the phantom was the one who truly loved Christine,

not the viscount.

I guess you could be right.

The phantom may have been obsessed with Christine,

but he was also the one who put her on stage...

and helped her become successful.

But he kidnapped her...

and tried to kill the man she loved.

He only did that to fulfill his greed.

That's not the right way to love someone.

If you love someone,

you shouldn't try to forcefully control the other person.

"There is always some madness in love."

That's what Nietzsche said.

And I agree with that.

Ms. Seo, you must be very interested in art and literature.

Do you like operas?

It's not only joyous for the eyes and ears,

but it also reflects a certain period of time...

and the philosophy of human nature.

That's why I like them.

I see you're a big fan. I like them too.

You and I have something in common.

Do you commute to work from the hospital every day?

A caregiver is there to take care of Jung Min,

but I should also be there since I'm his mom.

You must be really tired.

I've learned how to control my emotions, so I'm okay.

I should spend more time with you...

in order to learn how to do that myself.

Thank you, sir.

(Bisang Textile and Seorin Home Shopping Proposal)

Mom, didn't you go to the hospital?

You really don't look well.

Is something wrong?

No, I'll tell you next time.

Ji Eun, can you give me some money?

Do I not give you enough allowance?

No, it's not for my allowance. I need a lot more money than that.

Is there something you want to buy?

No.

I want to find that darn uncle of yours.

All I know is that he fled abroad.

A few years ago,

someone told me she saw him in the Philippines.

Who told you that?

His former mistress.

I ran into her a few years ago at the department store...

while I was shopping for groceries.

Why do you want to find him? We've lost touch for ages.

I need to find him and kill him.

Why all of a sudden?

Mom, next month is the anniversary of Dad's death.

What should we do?

Goodness. I'm done doing memorial services for your dad.

I guess she feels uneasy about it now that we're living with Mr. Kang.

So she's just going to stop doing the memorial service?

How about we go to a quiet church...

and pray for him instead?

I feel like Dad will be upset.

If we do it outside,

it feels like we're forbidding him from visiting us.

That's nonsense.

Why are you so cranky?

Anyway, I'm no longer going to hold your dad's memorial service.

So just keep that in mind.

What was that? Is she going through menopause?

Wait.

Does it smell of food?

It's okay. I'm sure it'll be gone soon.

I cooked some side dishes for Director Seo.

Does it bother you?

It's not common to see a secretary...

cook side dishes for her boss.

Director Seo is more than just a boss to me.

He treats my son like his own nephew.

But...

Hello, sir. I should've visited you and thanked you earlier.

Thank you for helping me out with the hospital fees.

You should thank Director Seo, not me.

To be honest, you didn't exactly meet the requirements,

but Director Seo insisted on helping you and pushed it through.

I know he's a good man,

but he must care for you a lot.

Do you...

Ms. Lee, I didn't see you there.

I should've been more careful.

It's regarding the welfare of the employees.

It's nothing to be careful about.

Director Seo cares a lot about the welfare of his employees.

- Have a good day. - You too.

(Director Seo Jung Min)

Chairman Chung isn't answering our calls,

and that means he plans to withdraw the investment...

for our new project.

I know we haven't received any official notifications,

but what do you think made him change his mind?

Maybe he's not sure that our project will succeed.

We may be in trouble,

but we'll use this chance to learn how to take risks.

Let's let go of the things that won't work...

and start looking for other options.

The chairman election is only getting closer.

You know it's going to be hard to find an investor...

who's willing to support our reformation.

Most importantly, we don't have much time.

Sir.

Why don't you at least ask him to keep quiet...

about the investment withdrawal until you get appointed...

as the chairman?

It's best to get rid of trouble beforehand.

If we try to play tricks, it'll only backfire on us.

This is quite unexpected,

but let's try our best to deal with it.

Okay, sir.

Mr. Kim.

I told you to put on a smile when you say hello.

Mr. Kim.

Gather the Vision Reform Team for an emergency meeting.

Let's sit down. I can't say this standing up.

I'm not here to anger you.

I bet your suspicions have turned into anxiety.

I told you that no ally stays an ally forever.

Your father got too greedy...

and increased the size of Seorin to an unreasonable degree.

The company has very weak internal stability.

And based on the financial statements,

the company doesn't have enough liquidity.

So Chairman Chung probably calculated...

his mid to long-term benefits...

and figured there's not much to profit from.

Jung Min.

The world is far different from what you think it is.

It's not just divided into right and wrong.

Some things are right but wrong, and some are wrong but right.

That's the world we live in.

I get that you want to succeed the company legitimately...

and want to make sure the company is transparent.

I respect you for that.

But a businessman...

should never bet on things that are uncertain.

If you have nothing more to say, please leave.

You want to be a good person.

You want to be transparent.

You want to be a considerate and thoughtful elite.

But you know, you're asking for too much.

Humans are pretty much similar.

From now I see it,

you're completely caught up in this mental vanity.

I dreamt of your father last night.

He kept staring at me...

and told me to go to you.

I'm open to arbitrate and compromise with you.

The fact that Chung Group withdrew its investment...

will quickly spread throughout the entire company.

And those who supported you will turn their backs on you.

Stockholders care more about profit...

than justifications and goals.

Making the right choice is all about doing it at the right time.

A wise man knows to seize the right timing.

But a fool misses it.

Jung Min.

Let's stop hurting each other...

and focus on stabilizing Seorin first?

Are you sick?

Why are you suddenly getting a checkup?

It's just something I get regularly.

I swell up a bit whenever I'm tired.

But other than that, I'm fine.

You've been living all your life feeling nervous,

so I'm surprised you never once collapsed.

I can't die until I'm done...

carrying out my plan.

I also need to keep the promise I made you.

Once we disassemble Seorin,

I will give you enough money like I promised...

so you can start your own company.

People who don't know you...

may criticize you for trying to take revenge,

but I understand how painful it must've been for you.

That's because we both went through similar things.

Your father also owned...

a small company that had a bright future.

But that horrible man, Seo Mun Su,

pressured your father with money and eventually took over.

But at least my father got paid after he gave up the company.

He was a very realistic man.

So he just gave up...

because he knew it'd be pointless to fight against Chairman Seo.

And that seemed so cowardly of him.

Just because he accepted the unfavorable situation...

doesn't necessarily mean he was a coward.

So don't hate your father too much.

I'm sure no one felt more miserable than he did.

I got a text from Jung Soo Ho.

The Vision Reform Team is in an emergency.

Chung Group withdrew their investment,

so their entire project has been put on hold.

And now they are trying to find other big investors.

As for Director Seo, he's having a meeting with Mr. Kim...

so he can convince the board members from turning their backs on him...

before the official announcement of the investment withdrawal.

I feel bad for Jung Min. He'll be doing all that for nothing.

What time is it?

The articles will get published in 10 minutes.

All the daily newspapers, business newspapers,

and the economy sections on every portal site...

will be covered with articles...

questioning the possibility of Seorin's reformation.

The wind instantly starts blowing in a different direction.

Jung Min must be sighing hopelessly right now.

("Director See Jung Min’s New Project Might Become a Failure")

("Director See Jung Min’s New Project Might Become a Failure")

I guess you saw the article.

The fact that they released an article...

when Chung Group didn't even make an official announcement...

means Chairwoman Seo is behind all this.

Maybe.

But I'm thinking it might be someone else.

You think it was A Jun?

He's determined to destroy me.

So it's possible.

And yesterday,

Ms. Seo brought me a voice recording.

It was a recording of A Jun talking to his mother on the phone.

What was it about?

He wanted someone from Chung Group to become the CEO of Seorin.

I know...

that Chairman Chung has the right to recommend a CEO...

since he's a major shareholder.

I think he had already decided to withdraw the investment.

I'm not sure if A Jun already knew about it beforehand.

But he also doesn't want me to become the chairman.

So he might actually get what he wants from this.

I left my cell phone in front of the place...

where you got treated for your aphasia.

Sit here for a while.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

By any chance, did you see a man sitting here with a cane?

Where did he go?

- The man with a cane... - Yes?

left just now in a hurry.

What?

(Kang Jin Sung, 615-7, Sangdo-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul)

You want me to take you here?

Ms. Min.

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

I should find out myself. After all, it's my life.

I don't know what kind of life I've lived,

but it's something I need to bear with myself.

Yes, sir.

So a man who had my business card...

asked you to drive him to my bar?

He gave me a business card that said "Kang Jin Sung" on it.

He communicates with hand gestures, but he can't seem to talk.

He can't talk?

Sir, can you video call me?

Please show me his face.

Hey, my friend. What's going on?

"I have a favor to ask of you."

Okay, don't worry.

I don't know what's going on, but I'll help you.

Let me talk to the driver again.

Sir, please bring him here safely.

No, actually.

Please drive him to my house instead of my bar.

I'll text you the address.

Come on.

Take a seat.

Mr. Kim, wait here.

Honey.

(Phoenix 2020)

How am I going to tell them that their uncle...

tried to kill their dad?

This is all I could do.

I'm sorry.

It's ironic how the weakest person is giving me the most strength.

A Jun, can we talk?

I have nothing to say, and I don't want to listen to you either.

Chung Group might be trying to gain management rights.

Do you think they are planning to have Shin A Jun run Seorin?

The owner of Seorin might change at this rate.
