Let's take the stairs instead of waiting.

My mom will be waiting.

(Episode 16)

(Oh Dongsu)

Yes, mom.

What?

What do we do then?

Fine.

Okay. I'll call you later.

I'm sorry.

My mom said she's late for her flight

and wants to meet up next time.

What?

This happens often because she travels so much.

I can't get used to it either.

Let's have lunch together since you're out anyway.

You go right ahead.

What brings you here, Miss Kang?

I'm here on the chairman's errand.

He asked me to give this to Director Yu Gangu.

He isn't at his desk right now.

I'll wait.

There's no need to wait.

He's out for an appointment.

He said he's going straight home once he's done.

I'll take the document the chairman sent.

He said to give it to him directly.

You can give it to me.

Wait. I'm sorry.

He said I had to give it to him myself.

Okay then.

Looks like you're going to ignore my warning

that you're going to get fired.

But you should at least know your place.

Just stay quiet and be the caregiver.

Don't overstep your bounds and come to the office.

You are way out of line.

I've made it clear that I'll be the caregiver

and I'm here because the chairman sent me.

So what's your problem?

What?

Also, the chairman is the person who hired me.

It's not for you to decide whether I get fired or not.

How dare you talk back to me?

And one more thing.

I'd like you to show me some respect from now on.

That is all.

How dare you...

You dare look down on me!

Kang Jiyu!

I have a car out front waiting for you.

I'll take the bus.

It's already there. Take it.

I prefer the bus.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

Secretary Chae.

I want to see you in my office.

Do you have a past with Kang Jiyu?

No. Of course not.

Then what did I just see?

- I was warning her. / - Warning her?

It doesn't look good for the caregiver

to go in and out of the office.

Jiyu is the caregiver but also

the chairman's personal assistant.

She'll be at the office a lot.

And that is up to the chairman.

We don't want the public or people at the company

to know that his health is failing.

But if the caregiver comes to the office,

rumors will spread.

I was simply warning her to be careful

in that regard.

I'll get going.

Secretary Chae Seorin!

You know what I hate the most, don't you?

If you lie to me or keep things from me...

If that ever happens...

I'll give you a chance right now.

Tell me everything.

It's not like that.

I'm not hiding anything.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Jiyu.

I've missed...

I'll be able to meet Yu Gangu again, right?

Why did you bring this back?

Director Yu wasn't there.

Then you should've given it to someone else.

You said it was important and

to make sure only he gets it.

I didn't want to make a mistake.

If you want me to go back, I will.

No, it's fine.

Make me some congee.

From that fish store there...

- Fish store... / - No, from there. Everything.

- Over there. / - From this sign.

1, 2, 3. Cue!

What the?

What are you doing? What is this?

I'm sorry.

- Why you... / - Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

I'm sorry. Have a nice day.

- Come take a look. / - Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Sit down.

Thank you.

What brings you here?

- Pardon? / - Your shoes don't need repair.

Are you with Mosung or Mrs. Han?

How did you know?

Young man, I've been in this spot for over 40 years.

I may be just sitting here,

but I know everything that goes on at the market.

I see.

You're obviously with Mrs. Han.

Yes, you're right.

Mosung walks around with wads of cash

to get signatures.

What do you have to offer me?

I'm not sure yet.

You don't?

I guess you've already lost.

I don't have money.

All I have is the desire to protect this market.

I'm still wondering what I must do to protect it.

What's the point of protecting it?

There's no future here.

Not many of the people are leaving this place

because they want to.

They're leaving because they have no choice.

Mosung says money is the future.

So you...

You should think about what future you can offer.

- Sir, in that case... / - Young man.

Do you know why people repair their old shoes

instead of buying new ones?

There are so many nice shoes out there.

Try to find the answer to that.

I think Yu Jangmi is up to something.

What do you mean?

This is a company that specializes in

digging up dirt on rich women.

Digging up dirt?

Yu Jangmi hired them to find out about Kang Jiyu.

Kang Jiyu?

I think she's looking for a reason to kick her out.

So she's going to create

fake evidence to kick her out?

But I wonder if father will believe her.

We need to act before things get complicated.

While she's looking into Kang Jiyu's past,

she may uncover Hong Sunbok too.

Luckily, it's progressing slowly,

and you're getting stronger,

so you should be able to start chemotherapy.

Make sure not to tell anyone and start it quietly.

I understand, Chairman.

But...

My name is Kang Jiyu, I'm the chairman's caregiver.

Miss Kang Jiyu...

The chairman didn't want anyone to know about this.

I feel relieved to know that he has someone

by his side.

It was difficult because I couldn't

tell his family anything.

He must really trust you, Miss Kang.

Stop talking nonsense and get going.

Yes, Chairman.

Please watch over the chairman's meals.

Make sure he can digest well.

Please call me directly if there is any emergency.

I will.

What's with inviting me over for tea?

I wanted to talk to you about father's caregiver.

Caregiver?

Father hired her himself.

But she seems too young.

And I have a bad feeling about her.

What? That's exactly how I felt.

I can't believe we're actually thinking the same thing.

Anyway, keep going.

I did some research.

What? I'm having her checked out too.

There's no need. I'm already on it.

Really? And?

Well...

I was so stunned.

I'll look more into it and let you know

when I'm certain.

You've found something, haven't you?

I have, but I don't have enough evidence.

I don't care about evidence. What did you find?

Show me what you've found.

Why won't you tell your family

about your chemotherapy?

I don't have a child that I can trust.

I must hang in there for as long as I can.

Anyway, why did you drag me outside?

It's a bother.

Even so,

you need to move around.

I was in bed without being able to move for 3 years.

And my rehab took 2 more years.

Why?

Were you in some accident?

Yes.

I was in a car accident.

- You poor thing. / - So I know...

How painful it is to be unable to move.

I'll take you for walks often.

The most precious things in life don't cost money.

The truly important things are free

when you think about it.

Such as?

The wind, air, trees, flowers.

They're all free.

Have a look, Chairman.

How nice is the sun?

Grandpa!

Goodness. My puppy...

Are you back from kindergarten?

Yes, grandpa.

Hello, miss.

Hi, Maeum.

Father! You look good.

You look better.

Why aren't you at your office doing work?

Don't you want to work?

Should I replace you?

I had something to do.

We need to talk.

You wench.

Why...

I hear you're a famous gold digger.

What are you talking about?

Think I wouldn't know you being

a famous gold digger in Gangbuk.

I don't know where you got that from

but it's not true. You're mistaken.

I've done my research so don't argue.

If you don't like me, just say so.

Why are you insulting me?

That's outrageous.

Please calm down. Father is outside.

Get out of my house.

The old man will only be traumatized,

so leave quietly, okay?

Don't step foot in this house again, you dirty wench.

You should've listened to me.

I'll talk to father.

No.

I refuse to leave.

I can't leave with my reputation damaged like this.

If I leave, it means I'm admitting to your charges.

I cannot leave.

What? Why you...

If you want to kick me out,

give me a reason I can accept.

Until then,

don't treat me like this.

Why that...

That wench. How can she be so relentless?

Are you sure she's a gold digger?

You didn't let me finish. Why are you so rash?

We should've made a plan.

How could I be calm after hearing that?

I need to cut her out before

dad falls for her even more!

You stay out of it. I'll take care of the rest.

Get me some water!

Yes...

That's hot!

That's hot water! Geez!

What's wrong with you?

Miss!

What's wrong?

Miss!

Why are you crying?

It's nothing.

I just have something in my eyes.

Should I blow it out for you?

What are you doing? It's time for academy!

What's going on?

Maeum is late for academy.

Say good-bye to grandpa.

Go on.

Grandpa, I'll be back.

Goodness...

She should let her kid play a little.

He has lesson after lesson.

You're back.

I heard you'd be going straight home.

Me?

Who said that?

Secretary Chae. Was she wrong?

This is the report on

the Seoyeong Market development.

It's about the compensation for vendors

so just keep it simple.

What about Mrs. Han?

Is she getting involved herself?

No.

There's a man named Min Seonho.

He's her representative.

Do you know that face?

No, he just looks familiar.

He majored in design and studied abroad.

He's quite skilled.

Design?

Yes, but he has an MBA in business administration.

He may have a novel design and

analysis on administration regarding the development.

Mrs. Han seems to have a reliable man on her side.

But not to worry.

They can't compete with the funding of a corporation.

It's not our first market development.

Okay, I'll leave you to it.

I've decided to focus on

creating a long future for Seoyeong Market.

A long future?

Shoes are old and worn out, so they look useless.

But if you replace the sole and make them strong,

they become sturdy new shoes.

We'll help the vendors maintain their old ways

in this market as well as

creating a future with our development plan.

That's an excellent idea.

I just reinvented the idea that the

shoe repair man gave me.

You met the shoe repair man?

Yes.

He was on our side after all.

Everyone knows he refused to even talk to Mosung.

He's an elder in the market,

so many people look to him as an example.

I'm here, Mrs. Han.

Jiyu!

Why do you look so down?

I've had a rough day.

Quit if it's too tiring.

Why are you putting yourself through so much?

It's okay.

I came for a bowl of your rice soup

to rejuvenate me.

I'm a customer today.

Okay. I'm glad you came.

One rice soup please.

I'll do it.

You're a customer. Have a seat.

Jiyu, did something happen?

It's nothing much.

I texted you. I guess you didn't see it.

Sorry. I've been so busy today.

What was it?

I saw that man.

Chae Seorin's driver, Oh Dongsu.

What?

He came to your home.

Driver Oh?

But he seemed to be looking for Mrs. Park.

Mrs. Park?

What is this?

Tea. You said you wanted tea.

Tea should be served in a teacup, not in a bowl.

What's the difference? Just drink it.

You live in this poor house

and you complain about teacups?

What? What did you say?

Gosh, and why's this taking up room

in this tiny house.

It's a piano!

Don't you know what a piano is?

My goodness.

Does this house belong to the piano or the people?

I don't believe this.

Is this a scarf or a muffler?

What is this for?

Goodness!

Are you insulting my piano?

What are you doing? Go away!

You're so ignorant!

Goodness, what a temper.

I feel sorry for poor Mr. Kang

for having to live with your temper.

Goodness me.

- My blood pressure... / - Almost strangled me.

I'm home.

Jiyu!

- Mrs. Park. / - Yes?

I heard someone came by this afternoon.

What? Who?

My head hurts.

Why are you asking her

when she's out of her mind?

Did the rooftop guy tell you?

Why did that man come all the way here for Mrs. Park?

How would I know? He seemed really strange.

Look how rough your hands have gotten.

It must have been so tough raising a baby.

Stop saying that!

I know you're crazy but this is too much!

My gosh.

Did I say anything wrong?

But what is that smell?

Goodness me, I forgot.

I was boiling the rag.

I can't live like this.

I'm telling you the truth. She's a gold digger.

Seorin looked into her background.

Seorin did a background check on Kang Jiyu?

That's right.

I hired someone too, but she already had it done.

What? And? What did she find?

Just wait. It'll blow up soon.

- What will? / - Anyway...

Let the women handle women's business

and you hire a new caregiver.

A man with big arms, this time. Okay?

Where were you instead of at work?

I heard you were out all day.

Are you keeping tabs on me now?

I sent the caregiver with these documents

and you were out.

Who said that...

What are they?

The acquisition of GG Fashion.

I approved it.

It was urgent, so I asked the nurse to take it to you.

Isn't this brother-in-law's...

Brother-in-law?

Are you going to put him in charge of your life?

How many times must I tell you? Do it yourself.

Have an interest and do things yourself!

Get involved!

Father, what's the reason?

What are you talking about?

Why are you suddenly putting me in charge?

That's just...

It's because you won't get your act together!

Get out. I don't even want to look at you.

Father keeps giving you important business matters.

Is eavesdropping your hobby?

I think I understand what father wants.

You do too, right?

Rumors are flying already at the office.

He's going to hand the company over to you.

You can do it, honey.

I'll do my best to help.

Honey...

Why do you lie so much?

What?

You're the one that said I'd be out

and I wouldn't return to the office.

I checked your schedule and got it mixed up.

Father, can I come in?

What is it?

This came for you.

It came by delivery.

It did?

Good night, father.

I saw that man.

Chae Seorin's driver, Oh Dongsu.

I haven't seen Oh Dongsu at all.

But why did he come here?

I must meet him.

I'd better get there before work and find out.

Hey.

You need to clean the car with your heart.

Your heart.

Don't just wipe like that. Do it like me.

Watch.

Put your strength into it.

And wipe like this.

You'd better come out a little later.

Kang Jiyu is here.

What?

She's early.

Honey.

Driver Oh.

You're Driver Oh, right?

Driver Oh...

You're Driver Oh...

Right?

(Secrets of Women)

Mrs. Han sent Kang Jiyu in order to win

the development rights to Seoyeong Market.

Your breakfast...

Go and do something else.

You should've left this to me from the start.

- Why don't you talk informally? / - Should I?

We will begin the presentations for

the Seoyeong Market development rights.

We will convert it into a shopping mall.

I propose on creating a future.

You'll kick us out without giving us a cent?

Kang Jiyu, you plan to destroy me.

I was going to keep this a secret...

Since you and I have been lethal enemies.

Enemies?
