(Episode 13)

It's nothing serious.

Something came up, so he needs time.

Call him again.

What is that something?

Call him and ask.

Eunbong, what's wrong?

Did you hear something?

What could I possibly hear?

Hurry up and call him.

Hi, Nayeon.

Tae, Taejun.

Is that you?

You're still awake?

What time is it? It must be pretty late.

Kang Taejun.

How can you say that?

Do you know how worried I've been?

Eunbong, can I talk to him in private?

It's Taejun. I reached him, so don't worry.

Sure. Take your time.

What happened?

What's going on right now?

I had to postpone my flight.

It was out of my control.

Then you should've called me.

You're not being yourself.

Focusing when I'm busy

is being myself. Please understand.

Okay.

If everything's okay with you, I'm glad.

If you're fine, it's all good.

So when are you coming?

In a few days.

I'll call you when I get there.

You just need a few more days?

I'll call you when I get there.

Okay.

Call me. I'll be waiting.

Mom!

Saebyeol!

What? The Baekdo scholarship student?

The cheeky boy who came to our house

for dinner that one time?

Yes. He's grown up into a fine man, hasn't he?

Who knew he'd grow up to be so outstanding?

He's handsome and talented.

And he has ambition.

Are you hiring someone for your company?

Don't get confused.

We're not looking for a smart employee,

but a son-in-law.

Our daughter Sejin's partner.

And our daughter loves him.

He's the man Sejin chose.

Honey!

Sejin came back today. Leave her alone!

Jang Sejin!

Mom?

You can't always have your way.

And my answer is no.

To what? What are you saying no to?

Kang Taejun was the one

who almost became the Baekdo scholarship student?

That gloomy, poverty-stricken boy?

How could you say such a thing?

Never!

It should be someone from a decent family.

You think I sent you to a foreign country to study

so you could marry that kind of man?

But it's the person that counts.

Taejun is much more thoughtful and decent

than men who grew up in rich families.

He's unbelievable.

He's bewitched you. He's using you.

You've been blinded by his charm.

Mom, please!

Mom, do you know what I thought about

while I was studying business in America?

I'm going to take over grandfather's company.

I want Baekdo Group.

I want it, even if I have to fight Uncle Hwigyeong.

I need Taejun's help.

I can't do it without him.

Why must it be him?

With your dad's help,

you can make Baekdo yours.

I'll help you, too.

No matter how much you oppose this,

I'm not breaking up with Taejun.

Sejin!

Will you really disappoint me like this?

I said no.

I can't let him have you.

I won't!

Mom!

I'm not that special.

I'm divorced.

People think I cheated on my ex-husband.

Did you forget about that?

So?

Did you really have an affair? You didn't!

He's not right for you.

You're out of your mind!

Honey, that's enough.

She's still tired from her flight,

so don't do this.

Don't you know how men are these days?

He's trying to use Sejin

to climb the social ladder!

I introduced them to each other.

I'm the one who chose him.

Honey!

If it hadn't been for Taejun,

our Sejin might have never recovered.

But since he was there for her,

she was able to get back on her feet.

I still don't like it.

I don't want someone like him in my family.

What will people think of us?

Everyone will think we're a joke!

I'm pregnant.

What?

Sejin.

I'm not breaking up with Taejun.

Honey!

This is nothing! This means nothing!

Mom!

How could that girl

pick someone like him?

How?

Baby, I'm sorry.

Your grandma doesn't hate you.

She's just mad at me.

She'll love you. You'll see.

So please give her some time, okay?

"Yes.

But how could I, in this dirty rag?"

When the Fairy Godmother heard that,

she tapped Cinderella's dress

with her wand.

At that moment, Cinderella's dress

became beautiful and covered in jewels.

Sparkling.

She gave her the most beautiful glass slippers

in the world.

Isn't it good that I got two copies?

Keep it in your wallet.

Every time our baby grows 1cm bigger,

I'll get you a new one.

Mom, can I have some egg?

Egg? Sure.

Here you go.

Saebyeol, you're eating well. You're a big girl.

Hey. Geumbong, come work at the restaurant today.

What? Why?

No!

Why are you saying no?

I won't make you work for free.

I'll pay you, so come and work.

That's not the problem.

I have a part-time job today.

Isn't she the expert? Why are you asking me?

I'm sorry.

I have a client.

You're busy.

She's free, so she has to help me.

Who says I'm free?

Whatever!

I have to leave in the afternoon!

Why, that little...

Huh? What's this?

Why is there a cell phone in the pocket?

Hello?

Wow, you finally answered.

Who is this?

Who do you think? The owner of that phone.

My phone was in the pocket of my cardigan.

And it went with you.

Oh, what should I do?

I'll bring it to you.

Do you have a pen and paper?

Yes, just a second.

Yes?

Hanguk Hospital at 1:00?

I'm sorry, but can you give me your phone number?

In case we miss each other.

If you're uncomfortable, you don't have to.

Really?

Just a second.

Yes, tell me.

Okay. I'll see you then.

Bye.

Look at all these things.

Park Hwigyeong,

holding onto things is a problem. A big one.

I haven't heard such kind words in a long time,

so why do they have to be a lie?

I haven't heard such nice things in a long time,

so why must they be a lie?

Why is everything so messed up? Why?

Hwigyeong, come downstairs for breakfast.

Okay. Let's eat.

Let's go.

This smells good. What kind of tea is this?

Persimmon leaf tea.

The housekeeper's family sent us some.

It's nice.

Are you sure about leaving father alone?

Your father's a stubborn man.

He sent us home,

saying we needed time to catch up.

Deep down inside, he's a loving man.

If he wasn't, a woman who's so hard to please

wouldn't have fallen for him.

Your father won't live past this year.

Dr. Ju told me

that he's almost at the end.

Father wasn't just trying

to scare me into getting married?

Well, I wish that were the case.

This is the young woman he mentioned.

I meant what I said.

Getting married once was enough.

Can't you see what your father wants?

If it was something else, I'd do it a hundred times.

But marriage is different.

Marriage isn't right for me.

It's not that marriage isn't right for you.

You met a woman who wasn't right for you.

How long are you going live with that label?

You have to build a nice family

and get rid of that ugly label people put on you.

Look at Sejin.

She shocked the whole world with her divorce,

but she wants to get married again.

She wants a fresh start.

Why must I get married to get a fresh start?

I don't get it.

I'll take care of my new start.

But it's your father's last wish.

Hwigyeong!

Hwigyeong!

As you can see, the third quarter's sales

are also poor.

Baekdo took over AP Foods four years ago,

and thanks to the money we poured into it,

the sales for the first two years went up.

But afterwards, it's been

going steadily downhill.

The only solution for now is to sell.

There are already market rumors

about bankruptcy.

If we miss this chance,

it's clear that even Baekdo

will end up in trouble.

We must hurry up and sell.

I understand the concerns

of our board members.

But it's not the right time yet.

AP Foods is

the final dream of the chairman.

We can't let it go down

without a fight.

Anyone can see it's a losing battle.

We have to sell.

I know.

That's all for today.

Please don't rush me.

Aren't you being too hard on a freelance reporter?

I still have a lot of time until the deadline.

Jang Sejin came back to Korea three days ago?

Okay. I'll go.

Three days ago...

My mom's not letting me go.

If I go out tonight,

my mom will throw me in the oven with the chicken.

Find someone else to go. Sorry.

Giving up on tonight's blind date

is like giving up on your life.

Even if it costs your life, you won't regret it.

If you're going to die, meet this guy before you do.

Hurry up and come.

Why are you making me bring out the food?

It's your job to serve the food.

Hurry up.

Do we have a lot of chicken left?

How can we?

She's been eating them up so quickly.

Meet me in the lobby of Hanguk Hospital at 1:00.

Taejun?

Kang Taejun!

Taejun!

Taejun!

Taejun!

Taejun!

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

You're not hurt?

I was in a hurry. I'm sorry.

Does it hurt? Did you get hurt?

Okay. I'll get that for you.

Don't cry.

So she really is pregnant?

Yes, your daughter is pregnant.

She's seven weeks along.

Are you happy now?

- You're here! / - Yes.

I'm sorry.

I asked him to come.

What are you doing?

We're at a hospital.

You're sorry?

You're saying you're sorry

after doing this to my unmarried daughter?

Mom, how could you say that?

Nothing's been done to me.

Taejun didn't do anything wrong.

I wanted it. We did it because I wanted it.

Not all pregnant women marry their babies' dads.

I can see your pathetic attempt

to use Sejin to reach success,

but getting her knocked up to cling to her...

Isn't that too cliched?

What are you saying?

Who's clinging to who?

You've miscalculated.

I'm different from Sejin.

You think I'm being heartless and cruel now?

I can be a million times worse than this,

if it's for Sejin's sake.

Mom!

I'm sorry.

My mom is acting far worse than I expected.

What will we do?

I think your mom got me wrong.

I don't want to give up now.

I just have to have you.

Taejun...

Let's go and eat.

I got a little tense, and now I'm hungry.

We're here.

Get well soon.

Promise me.

It couldn't have been him.

I'm sure I was mistaken.

How could I have seen him when he's in the States?

Hello?

You're not here yet?

I'm in the lobby now.

I'm really sorry.

Something came up.

So you can't make it today?

That's not it.

I couldn't wait for you,

so I left it at the information desk.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's beating strong.

Very strong.

I hope your heart only beats for me forever.

Only for me.

I'm sorry for causing you inconvenience.

Thank you so much for lending me your cardigan.

You asked me to meet you at a hospital,

so I figured someone in your family must be sick

and put together some mild side dishes.

I couldn't think of another way to thank you.

What's that?

Father will probably like them, right?

Go inside.

He's been asking for you.

Really?

What if he tells me to go on a blind date again?

Go inside.

Oh, my!

AP Foods? Me?

Gyeongwan doesn't need AP Foods,

since he's already too busy.

So you help him out.

Have confidence and run it yourself.

How can I run a company that's going down?

It's just a tough time for them.

Their accumulated deficit is 20 million dollars.

Some companies can't be saved.

Just let it go, father.

Be quiet!

If you give up when others give up,

you're just like them or worse than them.

When everyone has given up on something,

that's an opportunity, but people can't see that.

If that's true, I shouldn't be the one to run it.

If someone like me takes over,

someone lacking skills and passion,

it'll go down in a month

when it should go down in six.

Just assign me to an easy post at the headquarters.

Somewhere I don't have to use my head.

If AP Foods is too much for you,

go on a blind date.

Oh, you're at it again.

Marriage is the sole purpose of those blind dates,

so it's unfair for the woman who comes to meet me.

No to AP Foods, and no to blind dates?

What will you say yes to?

You know me.

I can't treat a woman right.

And I don't want the company.

Let me work under Gyeongwan

and look after you and mom, okay?

After I'm gone,

your mom is the only one who can look after you.

If you love my mom,

take care of yourself and stick with her.

Marriage doesn't only involve me.

I'm not interested in

sacrificing an innocent woman

because of your greed.

You're not going to do as I say!

Honey!

Hwigyeong,

do you want to see your father collapse again?

Get out. Hurry.

Would you like some water?

Gyeongwan! Get me Gyeongwan!

What do you want with him?

If we stake out here at Chairman Park's hospital,

we're bound to see someone, be it Jang Sejin or not.

I can't stop thinking that Jang Sejin's man

might be Kang Taejun.

White Viper wouldn't leak anything insignificant.

How dare you make stupid assumptions?

Is White Viper that amazing?

If you slip and let Nayeon hear that,

you know what will happen, don't you?

Until we confirm...

What?

Jungdae!

What is it?

Close your eyes.

What are you talking about?

Just close your eyes.

Why are you asking me to close my eyes?

Kang Taejun, you jerk!

But Eunbong,

how long do I have to do this?

It's over. Open your eyes.

What?

That scarf is terrible!

Did you bring your mom's?

How can you do a stakeout wearing that?

What's wrong?

You said it was great before!

It's over. Let's go home.

Please don't put your feet up there!

Your feet smell like fermented soybeans!

Man...

Hello.

I'm the catering service manager.

You ordered food for your daughter,

but you haven't called to confirm.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was going to call you this morning, and I forgot.

I had a lot to deal with yesterday and today.

Oh...

Then tonight's dinner might not happen?

It's family trouble, so I can't do it for a while.

I'll call you back with another date.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Call me when it's convenient for you.

Thank you.

(Taejun)

Wow, my dad did a pretty good job.

We could actually live here together.

I know.

It's a little too big for one person.

Don't worry.

I'll come by every day before our wedding

and fill this place up.

I need to make sure people know

that you're taken.

Ta-da.

I haven't done anything for you,

so is it okay if I accept these?

What do you mean, you haven't done anything?

You came to me. And...

You gave me

the greatest gift of my life.

Sejin.

If we end up unable to get married...

There is no if.

Just be yourself.

And I'll keep being myself.

I'm worried that things will become hard for you.

It feels like our problem isn't my mom,

but your ex-girlfriend. Am I wrong?

If it's about money, I'll help.

It's not like that. She's not the type.

You think there are types when it comes to money?

The start is different, but the ending is the same.

It's always about money.

That's enough.

Let's have some tea. I'll get it.

(Nayeon)

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, what is it?

Isn't this Mr. Kang Taejun's phone?

Mr. Kang Taejun is away for a moment right now.

I see.

Is there anything else?

I'm sorry,

but who am I talking to?

Is this how a cheating woman feels

when her boyfriend's wife catches her?

How we met was a coincidence,

but I was very grateful for it.

I don't really like blind dates,

but I'm glad I went on this one.

Incredible! I won the lottery!

You want to see me happy.

You want to see me smile, don't you?

Is he that important to you?

Taejun came back.

He wants to meet tomorrow.

Who's Saebyeol?

The little girl who was with Nayeon,

who is she?
