(Episode 91)

Come on.

Take a seat.

Mr. Kim, wait here.

Honey.

Did you fall down?

You should've been more careful. Come here.

Let's get you back up.

Mr. Kim apparently has a favor to ask me.

He took a cab...

without telling Director Min and was headed to my bar.

So I told him to come here instead.

I figured it'd be better to talk to him here.

What's with her?

Why does she always seem so shocked every time she sees me?

Is she looking at me like that because she knows me?

Can you bring us some warm tea?

Please?

Okay.

Sit down.

Make yourself at home, Mr. Kim.

But seeing that you came here without your guardian, Director Min,

I'm guessing there's a problem between you two.

Can I ask you what it is?

Oh, a memo? Okay, just a second.

Here.

Here you go.

She won't ask the police to check my identity.

Are you saying Director Min didn't carry out a background check on you?

If that's true, it's very hard to understand.

Oh, right. He hates sweet stuff.

The more I think of it, the more flabbergasted I am.

I need to tell the kids.

But where do I start?

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

tried to kill their dad?

Plus, he doesn't even remember a thing.

So how am I going to explain anything to him?

Why does it have to be so cruel?

What am I supposed to do?

What do I need to do?

Did you take him?

No, he came here.

I don't think he got his memory back.

But he called my husband and asked him for help...

saying you won't help him find his identity.

But how do you know my number?

You left your cell phone number at the sanatorium...

saying you'd like to help with the volunteer work.

You know why I can't tell him his identity.

But go ahead if you wish to tell him.

I know I need to tell him someday.

But now is not the time.

He severely injured his head due to the accident.

And his brain isn't even...

fully recovered yet.

He hasn't even regained his memory yet.

Don't you think we should be careful about what we tell him?

I'll call Mr. Kang right now. Let's hang up.

What do you think, honey?

Mr. Kim told me...

that Director Min refused to help him check his identity,

and he thinks she's hiding something from him too.

Can you guess why?

I'm not sure. I really have no idea.

But I'm sure she wouldn't have taken care of him until now...

if she was a bad person.

You're right.

She also told me he's her first love.

But what made you assume that about her?

(My hunch)

Your hunch?

You had a hunch?

They say you're able to tell...

if a person is telling the truth by looking into their eyes.

And from the looks of it, I don't think you're lying.

But on the other hand,

I feel like Director Min must've had a reason behind all this.

Maybe she was worried about you.

A misunderstanding can make a big fool out of you.

So try not to jump to conclusions and misunderstand her.

Instead, let's try to talk about it.

You and I are friends now, so I promise I'll help you.

And I'll ask the police to check your identity,

so don't worry.

(Hope Sanatorium, Director Min)

Director Min's calling.

I'm going to pick up. I'm sure she's worried sick.

Hello? Yes, Mr. Kim is with me right now.

I see.

He must've visited you out of frustration...

now that you guys are friends.

Is he okay?

Yes, he's okay. You don't need to worry.

By any chance, did he ask you to check his identity for him?

You guessed correctly.

I see.

There's a reason he can't find out yet.

That's why I haven't told him anything.

Yes, but he still deserves a proper explanation.

It's time for dinner, so I'll take him back to the sanatorium...

after we eat dinner with him...

and talk to him a bit more.

Maybe it's time to tell him the truth.

I guess I can no longer hide everything from him.

I figured it might be uncomfortable for him to use chopsticks,

so I cooked him scorched rice soup.

Is scorched rice okay with you?

Let's eat. My wife is awfully considerate.

Honey, why don't you join us?

I'm not hungry.

I'm home.

Let's eat.

Is someone here?

I just saw a pair of shoes I've never seen before.

Mr. Kang's friend is here. You should go upstairs.

Why are you suddenly calling him "Mr. Kang" again?

It just came out like a habit.

I should go say hello.

Why?

I don't want them to see you drunk like this.

Just go to your room. Go on.

It's an important discussion, so don't come out of your room.

Really? Then I'm just going to go to bed, okay?

Mom, stop pushing me.

(Seorin)

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

My goodness.

Come over here.

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

(CEO Lee Ji Eun)

Aren't you all going home?

Mr. Shin, didn't you read the article?

- I did. - What's going on?

How would I know? It's handled by Chung Group's head office.

You're the chairman's family.

You have the power to help.

I have no power. I'm just his stepson.

Mr. Shin, can we talk?

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

We have different opinions.

From now on, let's not talk about anything else other than work.

I sent you the spring photoshoot proposal via email.

I'm going to get off work now.

Mr. Shin.

Don't you think it's brazen of you to ask me for help...

while you're still suspicious of me?

Don't let your personal feelings get involved with work.

Jung Min has all the right to become...

the chairman of Seorin.

I don't care if he has the right. What does it have to do with me?

I know you have no power...

to change Chairman Chung's mind.

But you can at least help Jung Min talk to him over the phone.

You're our only chance right now.

Then why don't you beg me a little more?

Are you going to keep acting like a kid?

I thought you might've been behind the article release.

But Jung Min took your side...

saying you'd never do such a thing.

How touching.

Mr. Shin, I'm disappointed in you.

That's no surprise. I always disappoint you.

Just go and comfort Jung Min.

- We're so doomed. - What's going to happen...

to Bisang Textile?

- I know, right? - What's going to happen to us?

Mr. Shin left his cell phone behind.

A boat could float on water,

but it could also get capsized by it.

Chairman Chung's change of heart isn't what matters.

The problem is that the Vision Reform Team wasn't prepared.

It's all because you trusted Chairman Chung way too much.

When you're overly confident, you tend to become conceited.

I'll take all the blame for not being prepared.

Director Hong.

Chung Group hasn't made an official announcement yet.

The articles that got published...

are merely trying to slander the company.

Mr. Kim.

Chairman Chung's son...

has the power of attorney regarding the chairman appointment.

And the fact that he's not here...

already shows that our plan has gone down the drain.

Chung Group may have been our biggest investor...

for the future project we had in mind.

But we were also reaching out to other investors.

Oh, please.

Don't try to fool yourself.

Director Hong.

You've already agreed to support us.

So instead of pressuring us so much,

why don't you help us find a solution to this?

Due to the uncertainty of the reformation,

our stock prices keep plummeting.

And starting from the second half of last year,

our sales have been the lowest it has ever been.

The late chairman and Mr. Jang Se Hoon...

were in charge of last year's sales.

Director Seo had nothing to do with those numbers.

Mr. Kim.

That's enough.

Arguing with each other isn't going to help us find the answer.

Director Seo, I'd like to say a word.

Go ahead.

I was extremely loyal to the late chairman.

I'm sure even the cleaning ladies know that already.

I personally think Director Seo deserves to become the chairman...

regardless of whether or not...

the reformation is the right thing to do.

But hear me out, Director Seo.

If Seorin doesn't...

continue to keep developing itself, it'll collapse in an instant.

It's as if we're on a unicycle.

We haven't even secured any investments.

And attempting to reform the company with internal funds...

is completely absurd.

To be extremely frank,

things might go haywire before the actual reformation.

Goodness, sit down.

Let's try to come up with a way...

to have Director Seo appointed as the chairman...

as we stabilize the company and reform it at the same time.

If you want to fix a house, you need to have money.

If you don't have money,

your only choice is to swim with the tide.

"The tide"?

Are you talking about Chairwoman Seo?

If you reconcile with a worthy enemy,

it opens a chance for you to become the dearest of friends.

Chairman Chung owns a lot of your shares.

Don't you think you should hold hands...

with Chairwoman Seo to protect your management rights?

She's your aunt, so there's a chance it might work.

I understand that you're worried,

but I can't agree with you on that.

If you don't wish to walk the same path as me,

at least don't get in my way.

We'll have to talk to the Future Strategy Team.

I told you to go home.

Why are you still here?

I figured you might feel frustrated.

So I thought you might want to take a walk...

to organize your thoughts.

But it's raining outside, sir.

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

I'm sorry that this is all I can do.

Leave this on my desk and go home.

Shin A Jun may be his stepson,

but he seems to favor him a lot.

The fact that he sent his stepson to work at Bisang Textile...

might be proof that Chung Group is trying to gain management rights.

But I heard Shin A Jun and Director Seo are like brothers.

That's too far stretched.

You never know what can happen.

Even biological brothers...

betray each other to inherit businesses.

Director Seo and Shin A Jun aren't even related by blood.

Chung Group has been buying bulks of Seorin's shares recently.

Then do you think he's planning...

to have Shin A Jun run Seorin in the long run?

The owner of Seorin might change at this rate.

What are you doing there?

It's okay. Just leave it there.

What's the matter?

I'll clean it up. Are you ready to leave?

I can't believe what happened.

I thought his condition would improve.

But he's about to die soon.

Mr. Kim, you could get hurt. You should come here.

I'm only causing them trouble.

Were you looking at our photos?

Our daughters are beautiful, aren't they?

My wife will drive you to the sanatorium.

A good friend of mine, whom I also think of as my savior,

was battling stomach cancer.

And he apparently wants to see me before he dies.

Gosh, life is so futile.

You should go.

You don't want to keep a dying man waiting.

Okay.

Here you go. Drive him safely.

I'll just take a cab.

Drive safely.

And if anything happens, call me.

Okay. You should go.

I might have to stay throughout the funeral.

So I'll see you at the sanatorium once it's all done.

She seems anxious, and her eyes are bloodshot.

And her hands on the wheel are obviously shaking.

I'm sure it's because of me.

She must definitely know me.

But why isn't she saying anything?

I wonder what kind of relationship we had in the past.

I guess you feel it too, honey.

You may not remember anything, but I'm sure you feel a connection.

After all, we were married for years.

Listen to me carefully,

Mr. Lee Sang Bum.

I know who you are,

and I know how you can be.

You're unbelievably stubborn,

and you're extremely persistent.

You never back down no matter the circumstances.

I used to...

live with you.

I was...

your wife.

I had no idea you were still alive.

Not even in my dreams.

I thought you were dead.

We thought you were dead.

What in the world happened to me?

You haven't retrieved your memory,

so there's not much I can say right now.

Give me time.

I know it's hard to understand, but please try.

I know you have a lot of questions,

but try to hold them in.

Do you think you can trust me?

You have to trust me, honey.

I'll help you get your memory back.

I'll go to the sanatorium every day.

And I'll slowly tell you everything little by little.

I feel anxious to find out, but I'll try to hold it in...

because those tears you shed seem sincere.

Thank you for doing as I ask.

I bet you don't know this,

but this is the first time you agreed...

to do as I suggested.

I must not have been the best husband to you.

You've aged so much.

And so have I.

No, you look beautiful to me.

Let's go. Let me take you back.

(Phoenix 2020)

I feel bad to see you try so hard all on your own.

Let's try to keep a smile on our faces.

I'll do anything for you, Director Seo.

It's absurd that you're trying to steal your best friend's woman.

I guess my friendship with Jung Min is over.

Aren't you crazy for wanting someone else's girlfriend?

You just wait. I'll prove that you're a psycho...

and reveal it to everyone.

Shouldn't there be a limit to your atrocity?

I should really put an end to this.

If you do anything rash, you'll only get hurt.
