(Taesan University Hospital)

(Episode 95)

Ms. Seo, your lipstick color is a bit different today.

I was really worried about you.

Are you really okay now?

Yes. Thanks to your concern, everything's okay.

But it wasn't a light accident,

so they still need to keep checking my condition.

Gosh, I feel sore all over.

But they keep dragging me around...

so I can get checkups.

I hope you know...

that Seorin needs you.

I see you're pressuring me to hurry up and return to work.

Okay, I will.

Take a seat.

I've given it some thought.

And I think we should do as Chairwoman Seo suggested...

and tell people that I went on a business trip abroad.

If people find out that I got hurt in the middle of all this chaos,

it'll affect the company negatively.

The Vision Reform Team...

will be having their meetings here for the time being.

You just need to guard my office...

and come meet me here whenever I call you for work.

Don't worry.

I'll protect your office,

and I'll run over here as soon as you call.

I feel so reassured to have...

a trustworthy secretary like you on my side.

I also feel reassured to have met someone like you, sir.

Oh, by the way,

can you please do me a favor?

If you go to my place and open the dressing room cabinet,

you'll find a leather case with a watch inside.

Can you take that to the studio where A Jun is?

I'll send you the passcode to my place via text.

You even know the passcode to my house now.

I'm glad to see that you find me comfortable.

I'll make sure Mr. Shin gets the watch.

By the way,

can you go to a jewelry store...

and get me a catalogue for diamond rings?

"Diamond rings"?

Are you going to propose to Ms. Lee?

A single ring won't be enough to touch her, right?

You're also a woman, so why don't you give me some tips?

What could be the best way to propose to a woman?

(Taesan University Hospital)

(Yang In Cheol)

Were you busy because your plan went south?

What took you so long to wire me the money?

You didn't do your job properly.

You should've checked the driver.

I thought the guy who drove the car was the target.

How was I supposed to know how he looked?

Why can't you do your job properly?

Your mistake almost killed a totally irrelevant person.

You sound really spiteful.

Who fell into your radar this time?

There's no cure for stalkers, you know.

Shut your mouth and listen to me carefully.

I want you to do one more job for me right now.

Okay, that's great. You look amazing.

Nice. Okay, good.

I'm here to run an errand.

Director Seo wanted me to give this to Mr. Shin.

Don't forget.

I'm the one who saved you.

Are you okay? Didn't you get hurt?

- Ms. Lee. - It hurts.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I saw it fall on your shoulder.

Shouldn't you go to a hospital?

It just brushed against my shoulder. I'm okay.

Really?

I'm fine.

You're hurt. Let me see.

I'm okay. Are you okay, Ms. Lee?

I didn't get hurt.

Gosh, that's a deep wound. It'll leave a scar.

It doesn't matter that I got hurt.

Why would you say that?

Ms. Lee, you're a very warm-hearted person.

This will stop the bleeding.

You just need to disinfect the wound and apply ointment on it.

I'll be fine.

The office is empty, so I need to hurry back.

Thank you for worrying about me.

Did you get hurt because of me?

It would've been a lot worse if it weren't for you. Thank you.

(Criminal Investigation Records Check Reply)

(Criminal Charges, No Records)

I did a background check on Seo Eun Ju,

but I couldn't find anything.

She has no past criminal records,

and she never seemed to have stalked anyone before.

Should I keep looking into it?

No, it's okay.

What's that?

Director Seo told me to give this to you.

He said you'll know once you open it.

He remembered.

I begged him to give me this watch.

I'll wash the scarf and return it to you.

I'll be off now.

- Thank you, everyone. - Thank you.

Are you headed straight to the airport?

Do you think you'll miss me?

You won't get to see me anymore, so you can enjoy looking at me...

for the next five minutes.

I have so much to say,

but I'm just going to save it.

When we're young, we lie to get away with things.

But as we get older, we sometimes lie on purpose.

I lied to you when I said I like Jung Min...

more than you.

I lied because I know how much you love Jung Min.

Stay healthy, okay?

I told you that I prefer hugging to shaking hands.

Ms. Lee, you were a very special woman to me.

I'll be off now.

Jung Min will freak out once he finds out...

that you're his stalker.

You're his enemy, and I'm his loyal secretary.

Which one do you think he'll trust?

You're not an easy person to fight against, are you?

But let me tell you something.

I also don't know how to stop once I lose my sanity.

You just wait.

I'll prove that you're a psycho...

and reveal it to everyone.

I sent you the dashcam footage and navigation records...

via email.

And I did what you asked and loosened the brake fluid cap,

so you'd better send me my money.

(Seorin Group Head Office,)

(Home, Detective Agency, Home...)

He went to a detective agency?

Give this to Mr. Shin A Jun.

This is very wrong.

Just reap your benefits.

You're getting paid from both sides.

Shin A Jun, I've outsmarted you.

Seo Eun Ju was the one behind the broken brakes.

I checked Seo Eun Ju's bank account details,

and it turns out she wired money to this guy.

Then is he the father of her child?

I'm not sure yet.

I just know they're from the same orphanage.

She grew up at an orphanage...

and got sent back twice after she got adopted.

Seo Eun Ju must've had a miserable life.

She grew up like a weed, so she's very persistent.

She received social care,

but she got pretty good grades.

And when she got a job at Seorin, she was only a contract worker.

But she caught the eye of Mr. Choi.

So he hired her as his secretary when he got assigned...

to the Busan branch.

She worked for him for 10 years,

so there's even a rumor saying they had an affair.

I feel like it might not be a rumor.

How old is Seo Eun Ju's kid?

I think he's six years old.

Then that makes it highly likely.

If she worked for him for 10 years,

that means she was in her 20s when she got hired.

And even if she wasn't unbelievably beautiful,

that's when women are the prettiest.

She grew up as an orphan,

so she would've depended on him a lot.

He was in his 50s...

back when he got sent to the Busan branch.

That means he would've had a stable life,

which probably made him seek excitement.

What do you think? Doesn't it sound plausible?

But of course, it's just my assumption.

It's a pretty plausible assumption. Think about it.

She was sent here...

to work for Seo Jung Min, the crown prince of Seorin.

They wouldn't have chosen a nobody.

I personally think Mr. Choi might've recommended her for the job.

So she's a psycho with strong connections?

Should I continue to tail Yang In Cheol,

the guy who grew up with her at the same orphanage?

I didn't know Chairman Chung was going through a family feud.

If Mr. Shin told you that, then it must be true.

We can't just wait for Chung Group to invest in our project.

Mr. Shin did promise to talk to Chairman Chung...

and try to convince him as soon as he arrives in China.

But we need to come up with a countermeasure.

A couple of famous hedge funds in the States...

reached out to us and asked to have a meeting.

I told you that there are things we should never do...

no matter how desperate we are.

It's a high-risk and high-return game.

We can't afford to receive private investments...

that only focuses on maximizing the short-term profits.

I just mentioned it again since we have no other options.

Sir.

Chairwoman Seo and Director Choi had a big fight.

I heard it from Chairwoman Seo's secretary this morning.

Their relationship was obviously not going to last long,

but I think Chairwoman Seo has started to change her mind...

because of what happened to you.

If we're lucky, she might even be of great help.

What if Chairwoman Seo agrees with the reformation...

and decides to stand on your side?

What will you do then, sir?

According to Ms. Lee,

she said she wants to be a better aunt from now on...

and agreed to let me do what I want.

But I don't know.

I can't be sure of anything until I meet her in person...

and hear what she has to say.

They say you have no future...

if you're constantly caught up in the past.

If Chairwoman Seo decides to hold hands with us,

you should put the past behind you and seize the opportunity.

If the leader makes a move, her followers will move with her.

That means your enemies will become your supporters.

This reminds me that when you're lost,

you should take a step back and think about everything again.

I'll think about it.

What's up?

Sir.

Ms. Lee told me not to tell you this,

but I feel like you should know.

Go ahead.

If it's about Ms. Lee, it's only right that I know.

I went to the photo studio earlier to run an errand for you,

and one of the lightings fell from the ceiling.

What? What did you say?

How is Ms. Lee?

Fortunately, she didn't get hurt.

But you see,

I can't stop feeling suspicious.

Right before I entered the studio,

I saw Mr. Han, the man who works for Director Choi.

And it's not common for a lighting to fall from the ceiling.

I can't stop thinking that it might not have been an accident.

I wasn't going to tell you at first since you're at the hospital,

but I couldn't stop feeling worried.

Okay, sir.

(Request for Witness Attendance)

This is for the better.

I could use this chance to turn Director Choi into a suspect.

But I wonder why Mr. Han was at the studio.

What's the matter?

I've had enough...

of Director Choi.

Her borrowed bank account details, fabricated will,

illegal files regarding the gallery, and slush fund records.

I'm going to hand them over to Chief Prosecutor Kim.

He's currently abroad on a business trip, sir.

Let's end the meeting here.

I came a bit late because I dropped by my house.

I also took a few days off.

Ji Eun, are you okay? Didn't you get hurt?

How did you know?

I guess Ms. Seo told you.

I told her not to tell you because I didn't want to worry you.

Is the meeting not over?

Should I wait outside?

We were just about to leave.

Ji Eun, don't get too startled.

About the lighting accident...

I think Director Choi was behind it.

Then do you think Director Choi...

also messed with the car brakes?

I was only suspicious, but it's starting to turn into a conviction.

I need to put an end to this fight with Director Choi.

I don't think Seo Jung Min is going to let go of it this time.

You need to come up with a plan.

If he hands over those files...

regarding my irregularities to Chief Prosecutor Kim,

I'll end up in jail without a doubt.

But fortunately, we'll be able to buy some time...

since Chief Prosecutor Kim is abroad on a business trip.

Mr. Jung, I want you to keep me updated on Jung Min.

Seo Eun Ju has us wrapped around her finger.

She saw you coming out of the photo studio.

Jung Min is furious because he thinks I was behind the accident.

So he's getting ready to get me locked up in jail.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

I guess Seo Eun Ju is trying to frame you...

so that Seo Jung Min won't find out it was her.

Then it's time for us to do our part.

I'll bring Yang In Cheol right now.

(Hope Sanatorium)

You used to like this.

I made it yesterday just for you.

You should at least try one.

This is why we fought all the time.

I'm not trying to blame you or anything,

but if you had given into me like you did just now,

we might've had a happier marriage.

I really liked you a lot, you see.

I don't know where to start.

I thought about it all night.

But you don't remember anything.

So I figured it might be a good idea...

to start by telling you how we first met.

My dad was the founder of Bisang Textile,

and you got hired with the highest grades.

You were tall, smart,

ambitious, and well-mannered.

I bet you were really popular among women.

I went to my dad's company to ask him for some pocket money,

and when I saw you, it was love at first sight.

To be honest,

my dad was extremely against our marriage.

It hurt your pride, so you broke up with me.

I was young and immature,

so I even threatened to kill myself...

if my dad didn't give me his approval.

Did I never love you?

Did I marry you because of your background?

I don't know if you truly loved me or just liked my background.

There's no way for me to know.

Only you would know.

People obviously talked behind your back...

saying you got lucky with rich in-laws.

But you were competent enough to develop my dad's firm...

into a leading textile company.

All you cared about was work,

and I became less important to you.

Because of that, I nagged at you all the time,

and you were sick of me.

Now that I think about it, there are so many things I regret.

You were only trying to show your competence...

because you didn't want people to misunderstand you.

I wonder why I couldn't see that back then.

I grew up in a sheltered and abundant environment,

so I was very selfish.

And instead of trying to understand you,

I kept begging you to love me more.

I guess we constantly judged each other...

without ever trying to understand one another.

I must've made you feel very lonely.

I'm sorry.

I never gave you an easy time back when we were married,

and I feel sorry about it to this very day.

(Do we have kids?)

Do we have kids?

Yes.

Ji Eun, Young Eun,

and our late son, Joon Young.

But...

I haven't told them...

that you're still alive yet.

(The accident...)

What about my accident?

You're keeping something from me, aren't you?

It's my life.

You need to tell me.

Whatever happened,

it's up to me to judge, endure,

and decide what to do.

I need to know regardless of whether or not I remember.

Ms. Jo, your husband is here.

I didn't know you were here, honey.

I asked her to come.

I needed her to help me with one of our female patients,

and I wanted to discuss a few things.

Honey, what brings you here?

I told you I went to the orchard today.

The sanatorium was located on the way there.

So I dropped by to see Mr. Kim.

I bought you some freshwater eels.

How about we eat them together and play a game of Go?

My wife is here, so we can all spend time together.

Mr. Kim is in a bad condition today.

I see.

Did you bring this, honey?

We had a lot of leftovers even after I gave some to Jung Min.

Good choice.

You should've called and told me you were going to come here.

Jung Min will be really happy.

I'm sure of it.

I'm sorry you didn't get to meet him.

I guess he's trying to punish me.

Why did he have to fall asleep as soon as I got here?

Should I wake him up?

No, why wake him up when he's fast asleep?

Just let him sleep.

Plus, I gave him a really hard time.

I deserve to get punished a bit.

I'll come back tomorrow.

I feel relieved that you're here to take care of him.

Thank you.

You're up.

It's A Jun.

(Luxury Taxi, Vacant)

- To Incheon International Airport. - Okay.

Ji Eun.

Goodbye.

(Phoenix 2020)

You'll be the most beautiful bride in this entire world.

How does it feel to get married?

I'm going to treat her like a queen for the rest of my life.

Ji Eun's father should be the one to walk her down the aisle.

Bok Ja, do you think my marriage will work out this time?

Does the word "Cinderella" bother you a lot?

It's not wrong.

I suddenly got scared. Should I run away?

Ji Eun... Ji Eun is missing.

What if she doesn't come to the wedding?
