APRIL, 2019

The vice president sent me here.

Excuse the drink. This is all I've got.

The vice president wants you to have that.

How strange.

It's embarrassing to show myself like this to a person I've never met.

If you need anything

please contact this number.

TEAM LEADER PARK SUNG-JUN OF SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

I should go now.

Your coffee.

Let me open it for you.

The door is pretty old.

Thanks. Bye.

Who is it?

I'm here to fix the door.

I didn't call for help.

Hold on a second.

Mr. Park Sung-jun called us.

Is this the door?

Yes.

TEAM LEADER PARK SUNG-JUN OF SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

Thank you.

Is there someone you know?

Not really.

Look.

The star couple of Sungun is here.

Do you know them?

Everyone here knows who they are.

He's the vice president's right-hand man.

There's a rumor that he'll be the youngest executive soon.

Also, I heard his wife's family is wealthy and she's very good-natured.

I bet for people like them

life must be so full of joy like a humming song.

Come to think of it, I guess everyone has their own destiny.

If I get to be born again, next time I don't want to live a petty life,

but a fancy life like hers.

I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't contact you.

But...

today

was just too...

I'm sorry.

And...

thank you for coming.

You seem better now.

So I should go.

MY LOVE

Where are you?

Well, I was going to call you just now.

The vice president needs me for the briefing he has to do tomorrow.

I've got to go back to the office.

Will you be really late?

I'm afraid I can't make it today.

Let's talk tomorrow.

I don't mind you being late. I can wait.

I don't think it'll be over until dawn.

Come even if you're late.

This can't be put off any longer.

I'll wait for you at home.

Who is it?

It's me.

Open the door.

When did you manage to get this place?

How did you find out?

I followed you since you wouldn't tell me.

I don't see a man here.

I'm joking. Don't give me that look.

Eat this.

I'm fine.

I got this for you.

You looked down all day.

What kind of a husband does this? Who buys porridge for his runaway wife?

-The kids? -Our nanny is taking care of them.

I'll go after I make sure you eat.

Are you okay?

I just feel a little sick. I'll eat it later.

You should see a doctor.

I'm all right.

It's like you have morning sickness.

That slipped my tongue.

Ms. Na was asking me if we were planning to have a third child.

So I told her it's even scary just to think about it.

-Ms. Na did? -Yes.

But another child would look so cute, right?

We didn't know how we'd raise Young-jun and Seo-jun

and now they're so big.

Sometimes I feel sad that they're already so big.

I know you did most of the childcare.

You should go. Our nanny needs to go home now.

Right.

But...

now that I know where you are you won't die alone or anything.

Did you get it?

You live alone, so...

I must be losing my sense of humor. My jokes aren't working at all.

I'll have to try harder. Goodbye.

You're okay, right?

What do you mean?

You

aren't in trouble or anything, right?

No.

Then it's all good.

Don't take too long.

You know how impatient I am.

Come back soon.

Go now.

Goodbye.

Take care.

Get inside.

Talk to me.

At first,

I didn't know it would come to this.

Let's go.

Transfer her to an easier team.

Yes, sir.

It was only about work.

Let me open it for you.

The door is pretty old.

Thanks. Bye.

I got to know the situation she's in.

Her life must have been difficult.

That's all I had in my mind.

Thank you.

It was nothing more than that.

I don't know how it led to this.

I just don't.

Are you saying it was simply out of pity?

At first...

it was.

So,

who was it?

Do I know her?

I know you took the security camera files.

If the text message wasn't true

would you have gone that far?

I took the footage only to find out who was pulling those pranks.

What if I must know who the woman is?

Since we first met,

so strangely,

I thought about how we'd hold hands and grow old.

And I liked it.

To think that you'd still be there at the end of my life...

It was comforting.

That's why I wanted to cover

the crazy things I had done.

I wanted to live like nothing had ever happened.

I kept telling myself I was doing this for you.

In fact, I was doing it for myself.

The moment I had imagined every day

was so warm.

But,

a man who ruined everything doesn't deserve those moments.

Jung-sun.

Let's end this.

You mean a divorce?

I'm sorry.

You...

Are you seeing her again?

No.

Then why all of a sudden?

Why now?

I've realized that I can't put together

broken pieces of glass again.

Don't be ridiculous.

Broken pieces of glass?

I'm the one who bleeds because of those pieces of glass, not you!

Who are you to decide whether to put them together or not?

End it?

Do you think I've never thought about that?

I've wanted to say it hundreds, thousands of times.

But I swallowed those words down my throat.

I was bleeding to death.

I thought I'd still be able to put those pieces together.

I knew they were hurting me, but I still held onto them.

Why?

Because of those ten years we've shared together.

Because I thought it wouldn't be shattered in a day.

How dare you talk about a divorce?

Was this how you thought of our marriage?

Was it that insignificant for you that you can say it's over so easily?

It was not insignificant.

I thought I was fortunate to meet someone like you to have a family with.

I wanted to protect it.

I thought I could.

But I ruined everything like a crazy man.

Still, I wanted to hold onto it.

I wanted to hold onto it so badly, and I struggled to do so.

But I can't, Jung-sun.

I just can't put up with this.

So you want to do everything your way.

Don't be absurd.

Our divorce is up me.

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

This is the review of the Tifone fair. It was done at the event yesterday.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Why?

Well, right.

You're the mighty Hyun-a. You'd not waver over such a thing.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I'd gossip about it?

I'm a little sad if so.

I'm all about loyalty, you know.

It's nothing good to babble about.

I'll be off.

Zip it, Sang-woo.

What?

Why did she wink at me?

The profit from the auction is beyond the estimated amount.

Good job.

This should be a good enough result to show.

Share this with Choi and Park.

I emailed them this morning.

Well done.

They've been on my father's side for a long time.

We must show them our power so they're to be sure.

Don't show them any of our faults.

Yes, sir.

Did Yu-ri come to work?

-Yes. -I see.

Be attentive to her.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Ms. Na.

I have a lunch appointment with the valet business CEO.

But I have a meeting to attend.

If you have time, could you go on my behalf?

We need the list too.

Okay.

Yu-ri.

Go with Ms. Na.

You have experience working with her.

See you later.

I will go.

They aren't going to play around.

This is bad.

-Yu-ri, let's get ready and go. -Yes, ma'am.

PARK SUNG-JUN'S PC

Mr. Park is a man after all.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay, Ms. Na?

I'm not well today.

I'm sorry.

It was such a big event yesterday.

Are you okay about yesterday?

Yes, I'm okay.

It isn't my business to meddle in.

If it's a misconception, wouldn't it be better

you didn't do anything that could cause it?

Even more so if it's not it.

For your sake

and for his wife's sake.

Excuse me.

Hello?

What?

She was already weak when she caught pneumonia.

It worsened her condition.

She's stable for now.

Let's see how she recovers.

Thank you.

Mom.

Please don't be sick.

You shouldn't be sick, okay?

Your mother will be all right.

I didn't want to show you this side of me.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

She seems to have been a good mother.

I was able to bear with it because of her.

Without her...

I feel like my mom

is getting punished instead of me.

No.

She will recover at least for you.

We need to head back.

Stay here for today.

No, the doctor said she'd be okay.

I can come back after work.

I'll get ready right away.

Okay.

HANA NURSING HOME

It was only about work.

I got to know the situation she's in.

ON HYE-SUN

Her life must have been difficult.

That's all I had in my mind.

Yu-ri, I have to visit somewhere.

Go to the office without me.

Sure.

I'll see you later.

Ms. Lee!

Take a look at this.

VICE PRESIDENT'S WIFE AND STAFF OF SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

THE WIFE GRABS A WINE BOTTLE AND POURS IT ON THE STAFF.

The following news.

The wife of the vice president of Sungun Department Store

was seen abusing an employee, creating a controversy.

The video was uploaded on an anonymous website

and the top trending searches

are all about this wine incident.

Sir, have you seen the news?

-Is the video-- -I thought you were careful.

You're more careless than I thought.

Excuse me?

Why did you come to me now when so many people are watching?

Don't worry.

The scenario you're thinking won't happen.

I'll tell you when to see me.

We'll talk outside.

Okay?

Okay.

Sir.

We'll tell you when we figure things out.

We currently have nothing to tell you.

We'll call you later.

Bye.

You're here.

Some catering staff uploaded the video.

Catering staff?

It must've been filmed secretly.

It's driving me mad. We can't control it.

From that angle, it must've been filmed on stage.

When would the staff go up the stage?

Get the PR team to send us the guidelines when it's finished.

Okay.

What should we do?

What's wrong this time?

IS THE VICTIM HA'S MISTRESS?

It's getting worse.

Her information is already on the Internet.

IDENTICAL PERSON

MISTRESS

Putting her in the spotlight was a mistake.

Yu-ri, go home early today.

No, I'm fine.

It's an emergency. I should work.

You're going to create more trouble if you stay here.

Do you see that?

The reporters might be waiting at your home.

You should stay somewhere else for a few days.

I'm sorry.

If I hadn't made a mistake that day.

This isn't your fault. Why would I blame you?

It already happened.

We should find a solution.

How's the public?

It's not so good.

I see.

There's a petition for the vice president to resign.

And it's gaining popularity.

There are internal opinions that agree as well.

He's in hot water for sure.

Even Ha Jae-woong won't be able to get out of it easily.

If he makes a mistake

his wife and Daehan Group will become his enemy.

Nobody should know we orchestrated the whole thing.

Don't worry about it.

I'll make sure there's no trouble.

I want to see how the event goes.

But taking pictures and filming are strictly restricted during the event.

That's why I'm asking you in person.

The VIP team might be merged with the marketing team.

I should get to see how things work beforehand.

It's not a difficult request.

Don't you think?

I understand.

Mi-na!

Mi-na!

Mi-na!

-Are you okay? -Mi-na.

What's wrong with her?

I'll hold her. Mi-na!

I'm sorry.

The doctor says you should rest.

Mr. Lee didn't seem to know.

I didn't tell him.

I wasn't going to tell our team as well.

Everyone knows now.

Why didn't you tell us?

I'm not going to have this baby.

Please don't tell him.

Why were you back in the office that day?

The person who sent me the text message...

was you?

I was afraid that rumors would spread.

I wanted to find out who did it.

I don't know what you're thinking.

It isn't me.

About what?

What?

Hey!

Did you see it?

The vice president is having a press conference.

URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE BY SUNGUN'S VICE PRESIDENT

First of all, I apologize for this incident

that enraged people.

The reason I am here

is to say that some of the reports are not true.

I wanted to tell you the truth.

Currently, the woman in the video

that some of the articles claim is my mistress...

is actually my daughter.

There was a woman I dated during my college years.

I lost contact with her afterwards, so I wasn't aware of my daughter.

I've also found out about it recently.

All blame should be on me.

But I couldn't stand by to see an innocent family being criticized

due to wild speculations because of my mistake.

So I've decided to reveal the truth.

For causing a lot of people anxiety due to my personal history,

I sincerely apologize.

I'm sorry.

Just kill me instead.

Having a secret mistress

goes away in time after people are done talking about it.

But a child out of wedlock?

That's going to embarrass me for the rest of my life.

You want to tell the world about it?

If people see this as an affair

it will seriously damage my position for moral reasons.

But...

if people see it as a family problem,

it can be framed differently in the media.

I have to tell the truth to do that.

That's your problem.

I know it's all my fault.

Myung-eun.

Please help me this once.

I can't back off now.

URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE BY SUNGUN'S VICE PRESIDENT

Hide under a rock in there

like you never existed in this world.

Is this Ms. On Yu-ri's phone?

Who is it?

This is Kim Il-seob, Hanyang Daily's reporter.

I lost contact with her afterwards.

This is so huge.

I've found out recently.

Have I done anything wrong to Yu-ri?

Have I?

I talk about so many things. I can't even trust myself.

Have I ever said anything weird?

I must have, right?

Well, this makes things awkward.

She turns out to be the vice president's daughter.

Did Mr. Park know about this?

I apologize.

I was not aware of this matter.

We can hold him liable for having a child out of wedlock.

He wasn't married or anything.

He's trying to come clean about it. You think that would work?

He's pretending to bow down

saying that he'll take responsibility for everything.

How do you think that would work?

ON YU-RI

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

You will be connected to voicemail after the beep.

CALL ME

IF YOU SEE THIS.

TEAM LEADER'S OFFICE

MESSAGE

CALL ME IF YOU SEE THIS.

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

Mr. Park.

What's going to happen to Ms. On?

Will she continue to work with our team?

Yes, nothing changes in particular.

You may work as usual.

The whole ranking system has been changed.

Nothing changes in particular?

Park Sung-jun speaking.

This is Yu-ri.

How about we let her come to work?

Now?

With all the reporters camping in front of our department store?

Pictures of her coming to work

will switch the main articles from the scandal

to curiosities about her as an individual.

For now, that seems like a better option than the video being spread.

So we take advantage of the press.

Will she be able to handle it?

She'll have to go through the pressure at least once.

It will do her less harm to face the problem head-on as a result.

Do you keep in touch with your father?

-Are you really his daughter? -Do you keep in touch with him?

I apologize for causing worries.

-Yes, Mother. I'm almost there. -Okay.

Don't rush and drive safely.

Mother.

Jung-sun is feeling sick today.

She's sick?

You should've let her rest. Why did you send her so early?

-Is she over there? -Didn't you know?

She got here earlier. But I didn't know she was sick.

She's setting the table.

All right, then. Take your time.

I should tell her to get some rest.

Okay.

This is delicious.

I've packed some for you.

-Don't forget to take them. -Thank you.

Why aren't you eating?

I am.

One of my friends said she was getting a divorce.

A divorce?

What happened?

Her husband had an affair.

And he wanted to get a divorce.

Poor her.

She asked me what to do.

I didn't know what to tell her.

I've learned in my life,

that when you hurt someone, it comes right back at you.

Even if he left for that new woman

he wouldn't be able to live well.

If that ever happened to me--

Nonsense.

It'll never happen to you.

If it does, I'm going to chase him down before you.

Keep that in mind.

This is really tasty.

How did you marinate it?

I'll pack some of those for you too.

You should leave some for yourself.

It's okay. There's plenty.

Thank you.

-Have some ribs too. -Okay.

Thank you for today.

-But-- -I came to show you.

If we get divorced

your mother, my dad

and all our families will be hurt.

That's what you're trying to do.

See it with your own eyes.

Just what you've ruined.

Is there anything you need?

It's all done.

-Have a seat. -Okay.

-Let me go to the toilet. -Okay.

By any chance...

Never mind. What am I thinking?

You know what your father did. You wouldn't do such a thing.

-Is there anything else you need? -No.

-Sit down. -Okay.

Yes, sir.

Reporters seem to have found out where Yu-ri is staying.

Find her a studio in Hannam-dong quietly.

MR. PARK

I'm at the door.

Take your stuff. I'll escort you to another place.

Ms. On.

-Let's go. -Ms. On.

-What do you think? -Where is your mom?

When did you find out about your dad?

-Ms. On. -Ms. On Yu-ri.

Can I go see my mom?

The vice president will send you a chauffeur in an hour.

I found a place for you to stay in Hannam-dong.

It has high security, so reporters won't be able to enter.

Please excuse me.

I shouldn't have

started it in the first place.

Then I wouldn't have to suffer this much.

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

This is crazy.

DIRECTOR BAE DO-IL

This is bad.

PERSONNEL APPOINTMENTS

-The administration? -It's a minor department.

He got ousted completely.

Oh, dear.

Director Park, congratulations.

Congratulations.

Someone in our team is writing a new history of the company.

Let's give him a big applause.

There's no need. Thank you.

Did your wife hear the news?

HANA NURSING HOME

ON HYE-SUN

Is it someone I know?

No.

Everyone has their place.

I should've known sooner.

It's from Park Sung-jun.

You said it was over.

That it's someone I don't know.

Is there anything more that I should know?

No. It's over.

I'm never going back.

You should do the same.

Will it be okay to have what I want?

Congratulations.

I somehow let her discover it.

It gave me comfort.

I just can't put an end

to my feelings for you.

Fortunately, I'm the only one who knows that you filmed the video.

You'll be under anesthesia.

I came here to tell you something.

I will show you what it means to lose everything.

We're going to hell...

together.
