Original subtitles

To high school seniors, what kind of day is Saturday?

-The day we study until we puke. -The day we study until we puke.

Right. Go home immediately

and devote all your time to your studies.

Gosh.

I guess Eun-gi is sound asleep.

Did you guys feed him before he dozed off?

-Yes, we fed him cup noodles. -Good job.

Wake him up and tell him to come see me. Okay, class president.

Attention.

Bow.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hey.

Hey, wake up.

The class is over. Our homeroom teacher wants to see you.

It's raining. Gosh, I didn't bring an umbrella.

Who gave you that? Do you have a secret girlfriend?

-Goodness, I'm so jealous. -Gosh, get off me.

You don't have an umbrella?

-Let me go. -Why are you so unprepared?

What if you catch a cold?

Let me go while I'm being nice!

What are you going to do if I don't?

Give me that.

-Your hands. -You're so annoying.

Be polite.

Be cute.

Come home right away after your training.

Don't make Mom cook twice.

Hey, make sure you get it right.

Who are you?

Gosh, Sungduk.

Why are you all wet?

Where's the umbrella I gave you?

Tell me the truth.

That umbrella you gave me,

was it a gift?

Yes.

Are you crazy? How could you lend me something you got as a gift?

You insensitive, crazy jerk!

What's the big deal?

What's so bad about lending you something I got

as a gift?

You've never liked someone before, have you?

The chocolates you eat on Valentine's Day were given to you

by someone who really likes you.

And all those gifts you get are given from somebody's heart.

They like you,

so they want you to eat and wear something good.

They're worried you might get wet,

or get blown away when it's rainy and windy.

They always care and worry about you.

So they muster up their courage to show you how they feel.

And yet, you just lend that precious gift

to a stranger!

We're not strangers. And I never asked them to like me.

Why does she have to make a fuss about a stupid gift?

You jerk.

Duk-mi, wait.

You impolite jerk.

People like you don't deserve to live in this community. You should die.

Just die. You don't deserve to live.

Hey, don't grab my hair. You little jerk.

Die, Eun-gi. Die! just die!

We have a meeting with Cha Si-an of White Ocean.

SAUNA

They say it's impossible for fanatics to get really lucky.

But life is unpredictable.

Yesterday, I cried because I got fired from the museum.

But today, I'd get really lucky.

So let's live a long life, Seon-ju.

Is that what you're going to wear?

What did I just do?

Habits can be so scary.

Duk-mi, you're not going there as a fangirl.

You're going there for work.

You're about to achieve a fangirl's greatest goal.

You'll be working with the star that you've been a fan of!

You're right.

Seon-ju, can you pick out an outfit for me?

Let's see. Which one of my watches will have the honor to meet Si-an?

I choose you.

-It's pretty. -Duk-mi.

I know I shouldn't be asking you this.

Can you be on the phone with me later?

I'll be quiet and just listen to his voice.

Duk-mi.

Seon-ju, I really need to go now. Bye.

Duk-mi. Hey.

I'm so jealous. I also want to see Si-an,

get his autograph, and take photos with him.

Was that your way of telling me to wake up?

You can deduct it from my paycheck.

Ju-hyeok.

There's no more money to deduct.

But I'm still not going to fire you.

I'm going to train you well and get my money's worth.

I'm so jealous.

Gosh, I really want to be there as well.

That's the same jacket that Sindy bought for Si-an.

It's like he got a matching jacket.

Do you feel okay?

Yes, as you can see.

I wasn't exactly sick enough to receive flowers,

but I'll gratefully accept it since you bought it.

Mr. Cha likes tulips.

-Do you want one? -No, I don't.

I also brought a bottle of wine for him.

That's red wine.

Si-an prefers white wine.

"Si-an"?

I mean, Mr. Cha.

You seem to know his preferences really well.

I tend to do some research about my clients

before I have a meeting with them.

I make sure I always do that.

Let's go.

Ms. Sung Duk-mi.

Yes?

Never mind.

What's wrong? What is it?

-Do you hate Mr. Cha that much? -Sorry?

It's your right to like or dislike people,

but we're here to ask for an artwork.

Please do a better job at hiding your distaste.

Sure.

Oh, you're here early.

Si-an isn't ready yet,

but please wait inside.

Kong.

You must be...

I can't believe I'm seeing you in person.

No way.

Is it okay for me to be this blessed?

Si-an,

I'm grateful but also sorry.

Even if I die now, I wouldn't have regrets.

SUNG DUK-MI, 33 THE ROAD TO SI-AN, AN ULTIMATE FAN

This is the autopsy of 33-year-old Sung Duk-mi.

-Scalpel. -Scalpel.

There's no heart!

Look over here. Her heart is in her right foot.

This is a case of one's heart jumping out of the chest.

-We must report it. -Yes, doctor.

This life

was a joy and a blessing.

Just looking at it comforts me.

It's the one I'm most attached to actually.

Star, moon, and forest.

I feel like the artwork expresses all of them.

I can tell that you truly love art.

Adorable. He's so adorable!

How can he be so cute?

These pieces over here

seem realistic, yet also surreal at the same time.

You have a keen eye for art just as I've heard.

This photo was taken by my first fan.

I was on my way to my first show after debuting.

You can tell that I'm nervous.

The Road to Si-an took the photo.

It seems like no one knows me better than this person

even though I have no clue as to who this person is.

Weird, isn't it?

-Can I use the restroom? -Yes, it's over there.

I lived well.

Truly...

I lived a good life.

Lucky you.

You get to see Si-an all the time.

Lucky you.

Every day, you get to...

My gosh, what am I thinking?

I can't believe I said that. Goodness.

Would you like some coffee or tea?

-Tea would be good. -Okay.

Ms. Sung.

Yes?

I turned on the shower by accident.

Wear this.

Thank you.

Why would you...

-Thank you. -Sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Rather than me just participating in an exhibition with other artists,

I'd be having one under my name.

I feel a bit burdened by the scale of it.

It feels like I should have more well-known artworks.

-That is-- -I'm sure some people will try

to evaluate your taste with this exhibition.

However, it could also provide a chance

for many others to understand what you like

and grow closer to you. Don't you think?

I'll also add that you shouldn't be worried

about your taste for art.

The artwork you love the most

is good in my eyes too.

Director Gold also loves the art by Lee Sol.

He even bought one himself.

Are you familiar with Lee Sol's work?

No, I was buying the artwork for a client.

I thought it was a good one, but then I found out by chance that you owned one

of Lee Sol's pieces.

-By chance? -Yes.

By chance.

See you again. Bye.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it.

He was never quite interested in the exhibition.

It's our job to persuade him no matter what.

I called a cab. I'm sure you brought your car.

Actually, I took the elevator.

You live in this building too?

Unit 2401.

Unit 2401? That's a floor above Mr. Cha's apartment.

Yes.

Lucky you. I wish I could live in Si-an's building too.

I'll get going then.

Oh, your jacket.

You can return it some other time.

Then I'll give it back tomorrow.

Hey, Seon-ju. What's up?

Hey.

The picture I took was hung up on Si-an's wall.

He's a total superstar.

HIS PERSONALITY

THE ROAD TO SIAN

It seems like no one knows me better than this person.

4TH, SEOUL MUSIC AWARDS TICKETING 6TH, FLIGHT TO HONG KONG FROM TAIWAN

PHOTO FROM SI-AN'S MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT SI-AN'S FAVORITE ARTIST: LEE SOL

The door to Si-an's house opened,

-and Kong came running to me. -Kong?

Kong looks even cuter in real life.

Anyway, I saw a halo shining in that direction, so I looked.

And Si-an was walking toward me.

-He was wearing a bathrobe. -My gosh.

His hair was wet,

and the water was dripping like this.

He looked at me with a sexy face.

You know the face he makes when he's shy?

-Of course I do. -He had that face

and said, "Hello."

-I couldn't believe it. -My gosh.

Isn't this insane?

-You are insane. -I even saw his collarbone.

-Oh my gosh. -I couldn't keep a straight face.

-I know. -I couldn't help but smile.

SEON-JU

-Hey. -Duk-mi, are you okay?

Weren't you terrorized?

I was terrorized. Terrorized by sleep.

I'm seriously so sleepy.

You haven't seen it yet, have you?

I'll send the link to the article, so look at it right now.

WHO IS CHA SI-AN OF WHITE OCEAN DATING?

-Cha Si-an is caught in a love scandal. -He has a girlfriend?

-He's dating? -Who is it?

Is Si-an dating someone?

-This is Cha Si-an. -Who is she?

Who is this woman?

I knew it. It's true if an article has been printed.

No. It can't be.

Si-an doesn't even have time to date. This is absurd.

No, this cannot be true.

Yellow journalism like this is the problem of our country.

They print fake news without even verifying it.

They're total trash.

He was busy all this time with his schedule.

PHASE 3, BARGAINING

People tend to get lonely when they feel physically tired.

He must've wanted to date.

I understand everything.

PHASE 4, DEPRESSION

I've been fangirling all these years

just for this?

I feel so ashamed.

Shall we just quit this damn fangirling?

PHASE 5, ACCEPTANCE

He's at an age when he wants to date.

Just let him date.

He has to date in order to break up.

Read the article till the end.

What is this? His manager posted this on his social media.

They didn't even research properly. He should've--

I told you to look at it closely. Look.

Look more closely!

It's a woman.

What is this woman doing at Si-an's house? Who is she?

It's me.

-It's you. -It's me?

So this jacket belongs to your director, the Lion?

Yes.

He came wearing this jacket.

It's a limited-edition luxury brand. Only one piece was imported here,

so the fans think Si-an owns the only one.

And a picture of me was taken when I was wearing this jacket

inside Si-an's house.

It's the perfect case where people can be mistaken.

What should I do?

I can't even post pictures freely

because I'm so afraid of your fans.

Why can't they just look? What are they zooming in on it for?

And why did the woman have to be there?

This is all because of that exhibition.

I told you I didn't want to do it from the beginning.

Si-an.

How will you handle the scandal?

Don't worry about it.

We'll publish an article saying she came to talk about an exhibition.

Instead, you have to continue with the exhibition.

Okay?

This is really you, Ms. Sung?

I always believed scandals about celebrities,

but I guess some articles are really ridiculous like this.

White Ocean is the hottest group.

And you're the girlfriend of Cha Si-an, the most popular member.

-I'd like to be a part of-- -"Bullshit.

My Si-an would never do that.

I knew that jerk Si-an was fooling all of you.

I can hear all his fans turning their backs on him."

There are more than 1,000 comments from his fans and haters.

Over 1,000?

"I can already tell the woman's face is extremely repulsive."

"Extremely repulsive"?

That's not a common expression.

"Watch your back at night."

They're more than capable of killing.

I heard the fans of White Ocean are notorious for being obsessive.

What if they find out your personal information?

Fans are all like that.

I wouldn't say they're more obsessive than others.

Ms. Sung, you are seriously so naive.

Do you know how scary fans are?

What is Cha Si-an's agency saying?

They told me they're going to publish an article

denying it soon and I shouldn't worry and wait.

Did you tell your boyfriend?

Boyfriend? Do I have a boyfriend?

You got drunk during our team dinner and confessed last time.

What was it?

You said he has such a beautiful smile

and he's so competent.

You remember, right?

He's not my boyfriend.

Whether or not he's your boyfriend

post his picture on your social media for everyone to see.

Even if they find out about you, that picture will show

you're not Cha Si-an's girlfriend. That will explain everything.

-That sounds good. -That is...

Do you have a picture you took with him? I'll choose it for you.

-Yes, totally! -We can do it!

Oh, gosh.

What will you do?

Ms. Sung!

Yes, Director.

Shouldn't you be working right now?

I think you've been chatting for too long.

I'm sorry, sir.

I mean, how could this be chatting?

The safety of an employee is on the line.

Director Gold is quite insensitive.

Have some respect for your boss.

He's cold-blooded.

Did you really check?

-I did. -Are you sure it's accurate?

Si-an will never do that to us. He'll never date behind our backs.

-Please say it isn't true. -Please say something, mister.

Hey, they published an article explaining it.

They're denying it, right?

-They wouldn't admit it easily. -I knew it.

-Tell me about it. -Let's get out of here.

-Let's go. -What happened though?

What a waste of time.

Si-an said it wasn't true.

"The woman in the photo is an art museum curator.

And she visited Cha Si-an's house to talk about his art collection.

Her top accidentally got wet, so she wore Cha Si-an's...

She wore Cha Si-an's jacket just for a short while in his house.

She's not his girlfriend.

And he did not give his jacket to her as a gift."

Hello, this is Ryan Gold, the director of Cheum Museum.

The article you released wasn't entirely correct.

Why did you say it was Mr. Cha's jacket?

That jacket is a limited edition.

Do you think his fans would believe it if we tell them that there were

two identical jackets in this house?

So you're just going to lie to them?

Director Gold, people don't

care about the truth.

They just see what they want to see

and believe what they want to believe.

Don't you think it'd be better

to tell them a believable lie than an unbelievable truth?

We took care of the scandal, and you'll get to do the exhibition.

Isn't that a win-win?

Let's just drop it.

Yes, Director Gold.

THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE UNIVERSE, CHA SI-AN

Yes.

Okay, that does make sense.

No, I'm okay.

Thank you for worrying.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE UNIVERSE CHA SI-AN

HIS AGENCY EXPLAINED THAT SHE VISITED BECAUSE OF HIS ART COLLECTION

Okay, it's time to do my job now.

THE ROAD TO SI-AN

This is all Mr. Park's fault.

I knew he'd cause trouble one day.

He should've been more careful.

But the fact that she wore Si-an's jacket hasn't changed at all.

I feel so upset about that. It makes me feel so uneasy.

Apparently, her clothes got wet.

I'd rather have her wear his jacket than stay next to him all wet.

By the way, she can't be Si-an's fan, right?

If she was a fan, she wouldn't have been able to wear that.

I wouldn't even dare to touch it.

Mr. Park needs to get fired.

MY SI-AN, SI-AN IN MY HEART

THE ROAD TO SI-AN

He's so handsome.

SI-AN IN MY HEART

-It's Si-an! -Look.

Si-an's first-ever scandal turned out to be false,

so here's a photo to celebrate that.

-You're the best! -Nice!

"She wore

Cha Si-an's jacket just for a short while in his house."

I got this jacket for him as a gift. How dare he lend it

to another woman?

I can't believe this. "Is Si-an really dating?"

-Really? -Let me see.

IS SI-AN REALLY DATING?

GIRLFRIEND OF C FROM THE GROUP W

I knew it.

The best time to read celebrity scandals is 2 p.m.

I was getting sleepy, but this just woke me up.

Is this true?

CHA SI-AN'S FANPAGE BY SINDY

SDM, 33 YEARS OLD, A CURATOR AT C MUSEUM

CHA SI-AN, SDM

This is bad.

Sindy is a total groupie.

Why was she on a stakeout in front of Si-an's house?

Is she a cop or something?

This is making me get angry.

Knock, knock. Is this the number of Cha Si-an's girlfriend?

EUN-GI INVITED SEON-JU AND SUNGDUK TO THE CHAT

Knock, knock.

Hey, Cha Si-an's girlfriend.

Knock, knock.

SUNGDUK HAS LEFT THE CHAT ROOM

You're doomed.

Do you think this is funny?

How can you laugh in this situation?

Then do you expect me to cry?

My friend got involved in a scandal with her favorite idol star.

I should be dancing right now.

You'll get stabbed if you dance.

Do you not care about all the other fans

who are worried that Si-an really might really be dating?

What's wrong with him dating?

Yes, he can date people.

But he should never get caught.

What's the difference?

I'm saying he should be someone we all dream of dating,

but he should never be someone's actual sweetheart.

What are you saying?

To be frank, an idol star is a merchant, and a fan is a consumer.

They toy with us by saying that they love us

and that we're the only ones they'll ever love.

They're selling romance by doing that.

But if that star gets caught dating someone,

it's the same thing as going against their morals.

You're the one who went against your morals.

Yes, exactly.

I'm the problem.

Gosh, these crazy fangirls.

What are you going to do? They even found your social media account.

They saw all the matching items you bought

and how we visited that hotel he once stayed at.

There are way too many photos to call it a coincidence.

Yes, I know. I was really startled.

I made sure to keep it low-key, but I left too many traces.

What if people find out that you're Si-an's fan

and that you're the fanpage master, The Road to Si-an?

-I got goosebumps. -I got goosebumps.

They'll get rid of me without anyone finding out.

-Like the morning dew. -Yes.

I send my condolences to you in advance.

Rest in peace.

No.

No, there's no way that...

"Bitch"?

I'm someone's precious daughter, you know.

How dare you swear at me?

Hey, I'll see you at the police station.

This is being recorded.

You... Hello?

This is so annoying.

Gosh.

I wouldn't feel so upset if she was actually dating him.

I'm just getting cursed for no reason.

Ms. Sung, you should be careful when you walk alone at night.

I don't think she'll be safe during the day either.

Our online bulletin board is complete chaos right now.

I'm sorry for causing trouble.

We can't do anything about the calls,

but let's shut down the bulletin board for a while.

-Okay. -Okay.

AUCTION FOR VIP CLIENTS OF SEJONG BANK

Mr. Park.

Ms. Sung's personal information is all over the internet.

And people are swearing and threatening her

on our museum's online bulletin board.

But you're still in a meeting?

Don't you think you're being too nonchalant?

I'll call you back.

Si-an's agency wants to wait until this passes by

instead of confronting it.

I feel like they should handle it better. What do you think?

People already found out that they lied,

so nothing will work as of now.

It might be best to leave it and hope that it'll fade with time.

I should've told them to correct the first article they sent out.

I'm sorry. I should've been more careful.

It's not your fault.

Things would not have gotten out of hand like this

if it weren't for that groupie.

Groupie?

I'm not very familiar with stuff like this,

but a groupie is a fan who always follows their idols around.

A groupie is more like a stalker than a fan.

Anyway, I heard it got out of hand

because that groupie uploaded a photo of me.

I have to get going because I need to attend an auction and lecture

for Sejong Bank's VIP clients.

You should go.

Okay.

My gosh. Hey.

Why are you doing this? Gosh, that stings.

You bitch!

-You cow! -How dare you!

-Die! -Not my Si-an!

How dare you date my Si-an!

You bitch!

-Please. -Take that!

-You! -Take this!

Get off me!

Duk-mi, it's me. It's Eun-gi.

Oh, gosh.

Are they insane?

Eun-gi.

-Stop! -Get them!

-Stop! Stop right there. -Hey!

Hey!

Stop!

You!

Get them!

Over there!

Are you all right?

Let's go.

Eggs are expensive these days.

Why not spend the money to buy Si-an's album instead?

Sure. Thank you.

The assailants are all at the precinct.

We meet again for an unfortunate event.

The day you went to the ER.

I see you don't remember.

Ms. Sung didn't mention a friend of hers.

Others normally think I'm her boyfriend.

I apologize for the late introduction.

I'm Ryan Gold, Director of Cheum Museum.

"Gold,

Ryan."

I'm a director too, you know.

Here.

CHOIKANG JUDO

So you manage a judo studio.

Duk-mi and I...

Well, I'm her brother. It's nice to meet you.

Director Gold, I'm now off to Sejong Bank.

You must still be in shock, so call it a day.

I'll go in your place.

It's all right. Being busy is actually better.

Besides, I need to stop by the precinct anyway.

I'll go with you, then.

I'm sure she'll be more comfortable with me.

I'll go with Eun-gi.

Head straight home afterward then.

Sure.

Let's go.

The coast is clear. The police arrested them all.

You seemed intimidated in front of the director

and even shy.

Do you act rudely to your coach, then?

You know my coach can be scary.

Well, my boss can fire me.

Are you really all right?

No, I'm not all right.

It hurt like crazy.

We should head to a pharmacy before it leaves a scar.

No, I'm going to the precinct first.

As fans, they should hope for the scandal to dial down.

They shouldn't add fuel to the flame.

I'm giving them an earful!

Follow me.

As if.

What is it?

Ms. Sung has been caught up in a romantic scandal with a K-pop idol.

Sung Duk-mi and a K-pop idol?

Are you kidding me?

I've confined myself to this hospital

to save Cheum's reputation,

but she does this in my absence?

What's your take on this?

Well, this rumor--

What's your take on it?

Well...

So this was all for a celebrity you like?

Call this the Cheum Museum Assault Case.

Unbelievable.

Look at what you did to her.

This qualifies as an assault.

Do you know how severe the charges are?

I am Sung Duk-mi, the victim.

No one's going home tonight. Who led the assault?

Weren't you mouthing off just until now?

Who led the assault? Was it you?

She took off with the jacket that we bought for Si-an.

You gave him the gift, and so it ends there.

That doesn't give you any right to do this.

You've never liked anyone, have you?

What we gave him wasn't just some expensive jacket.

We like him so much

that we wanted to see him in a pretty jacket.

What we gave him out of love,

she...

Detective.

It was no big deal, so please let them go.

Duk-mi!

How is this not a big deal?

You're covered in bandages like a mummy.

Oh, this?

I was just putting on a show.

See? I'm fine.

How can it be an assault when I'm fine?

Are you sure you're all right?

Yes.

Don't cry. I won't forgive you if you do.

Hold on.

Are you really dating Si-an?

Are you serious right now?

No, I met Mr. Cha for the first time that day.

Then why were you wearing his jacket?

Well, actually,

it's not his jacket.

What? Sindy said that there's only one of it in Korea.

Right, that's why his agency got it mixed up.

It belongs to someone else.

Is that the truth?

Are you sure there is nothing between you and Si-an?

Nothing. I promise you that.

-Thank you! -Thank you!

-Gosh, we're sorry! -We're sorry!

What a saint.

You should change your name to Saint Duk-mi.

I'm furious

and the girls should be punished,

but

I understand why they had to take such action.

Why can't you show me some of that grace and tolerance as well?

Why do you think you're still alive?

Right.

You can't tell Mom about what happened today.

I'm not an idiot, you know.

I know what not to eat and what I shouldn't say.

Good boy. I'm off then.

Be safe out there.

Director, how about lunch?

You guys go ahead. I'll eat later.

Did Ms. Sung go to the precinct alone?

She should've asked me to tag along.

Her brother went with her,

and I heard they settled.

She has a brother?

I heard that she's an only child.

-I'm home. -Hey.

Editor Nam, you're here.

What brings you here?

Am I your friend?

"Editor Nam. What brings you here?"

Editor Nam. Welcome.

At least act like you're glad to see your mom after a while.

-Hi, Mom. -Gosh.

CHOIKANG JUDO

"Men's silver medalist in judo,

Nam Eun-gi."

-Do you want more rice? -Yes.

Give me. Oh, boy.

Yeong-suk, I told you not to feed him anymore.

Until when are you going to take care of him?

How could I not when my child says he's hungry?

Editor Nam doesn't get it.

Parents feel full just by watching their children eat.

Someone might think Yeong-suk is your real mom and I'm a stepmom.

Your name is Nam Eun-gi, which follows my last name.

It isn't Sung Eun-gi.

Let's be honest, Editor Nam.

All you did was give birth to me, but Mom raised me.

She raised me all on her own.

You have no right.

Mom raised me for 20 years, and the country has raised me since.

I made money.

-Do you think making money is easy? -Right.

Your mom worked hard to feed you and clothe you.

We raised you together.

Yeong-suk raised you with love, and I raised you with money.

A person should do that at least.

You're like a cuckoo that laid an egg in another bird's nest.

Gosh, Eun-gi, have some of this.

Just watching you eat makes me feel full.

I'm probably the only person in this world paying for a nanny

for a child this big.

-Use this for food. -You don't have to give me this.

No, you must take it.

If I don't do this much, he'd kill me with his nagging.

His mouth is stronger than his muscles.

Well, then. I have no choice but to accept this gratefully.

I wonder how our lives got tied up like this

ever since we met at the maternity ward until now.

You saved a single mother.

Life is about giving and taking.

I got through a hard time, thanks to you.

You're the only one who brings me money regularly.

If my husband did that, I would've been such a devoted wife.

Officially, I should be lying in a hospital right now,

so I'll make it short.

Ms. Sung Duk-mi

has been caught in a love scandal with an idol.

I really, really hate it.

Fire Ms. Sung right away.

It was just a scandal that wasn't even true,

and I won't fire her over something like that.

Whether it's true or not doesn't matter.

What matters is that rumors have been spread.

I can't stand her

ruining my reputation anymore.

A curator should maintain the dignity and class of the museum.

How could she get caught up in such a cheap scandal?

Fire her immediately.

Fire her now.

What right do you have?

Sorry?

What right do you have

to order me to fire my staff?

I'm Eom So-hye.

I had one condition when I accepted the director position of this museum.

"Give up all your rights to this place."

Even if you want to judge or make decisions

regarding the employees of Cheum Museum,

just don't.

Due to my family matters, I had no choice but to--

Is your husband's embezzlement and malpractice a family matter?

The class and dignity of the museum?

Cheum Museum's name was tainted in the newspapers because of you.

Yet, you're acting like this over some gossip about a celebrity?

It's amusing.

"Amusing"?

You're upset.

Oh, you don't want to fire her?

Then will you accept a letter of resignation that she submits

on her own will?

It's not like there's only one way to get rid of someone.

Oh, my right?

Since I'm the one who put you in this position,

I came to you out of courtesy to discuss it with you first.

But I guess I'll just have to take care of it myself.

Former Director Eom So-hye.

Yes?

I want to ask you something.

Where is Ivanoff's painting?

What painting?

The Ivanoff art piece that you won at a Chinese auction.

Where is it?

How come there isn't a single piece of a document about it?

And why can't I find it in the storage room either?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Will it jog your memory if a prosecutor asks you?

You still have a trial coming up, right?

Did Ms. Sung Duk-mi

tell you that?

No, I found out by chance at the auction.

That's enough.

Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim!

She's more naive than I thought.

Stop right there.

Director Eom, what brings you--

-Director Eom. -Ms. Sung.

I really trusted you.

But how could you do that to me?

-That scandal with the idol-- -I am not...

I'm not talking about that right now.

I'll have my eyes on you.

Okay?

You better watch it.

-Ms. Sung. -Yes, Director Gold.

I told you to go straight home.

Why did you come back?

I had some documents to send out.

I don't think this is something you should be so angry about.

Go in then.

Okay.

Where do you sleep? Do you still sleep in a tent at the judo studio?

I sleep at the studio and also in Duk-mi's room.

Duk-mi moved out.

I'll pay back the money you lent me by next month.

Use it to rent a studio apartment.

Don't worry about it. I'm doing fine.

Still, you should sleep at the same place at least.

Am I too shameless to be worried about something like this now?

No.

Why did you open the judo studio?

Who learns judo these days? You should've become a coach.

Mom.

Judo is really fun. I can't just do it by myself.

I, the Olympic silver medalist, must step up and take the lead

until everyone in our country learns judo.

That's what I think.

Goodness.

You talk so eloquently. Why don't you become a narrator?

By the way,

I couldn't say anything earlier because Yeong-suk was there.

But I heard something weird today.

I heard an art museum curator is dating an idol star.

And I think they were talking about Duk-mi.

That's just a bunch of nonsense. You know Duk-mi.

Even if it's nonsense,

it's not great to be involved in a rumor like that.

What's that? What happened? It's really red.

-I think a bug bit me. -Let me see.

Gosh, you should go now. Drive safely. It's dark.

My goodness.

Are you still worried even though your mom is like a cuckoo?

It's nice to have a cuckoo as a mom than having none.

-You should get going. -I'll go now.

-Drive safely. -Okay.

-Director Gold, I'm-- -Quiet.

Pardon?

Why are you still here?

I'm sure it was a long day for you.

That's why.

I enjoy looking at artworks whenever I'm having a hard time.

Do they console you?

They console me in a weird way.

On days like this, I tend to blame myself a little.

"You have to go through so much, you're always exhausted,

and you don't even get properly acknowledged.

But must you continue to do this job?

Are those artworks really worth it?"

That's what I ask myself.

Are they worth it?

No.

Art may be great,

but it can't be greater than a living human being.

Regardless of how insignificant I may seem,

I'm still greater than those condescending paintings

that are hung on that wall.

Because I'm a living being, and I will continue to live.

That must have sounded quite inappropriate.

I'm just trying to overcome my hardships.

But of course,

I think your artworks are a lot greater than me.

That's what I also thought.

"My artworks are magnificent.

A lot more magnificent than myself."

You know that I got adopted overseas, right?

Yes.

I was the kid that got abandoned by his birth parents,

who couldn't even talk properly.

And because of that, I was used to getting teased at,

and people always looked down on me.

But on the other hand, the paintings created by that kid

always received compliments.

I don't paint now,

and I've never considered myself greater than my paintings

just because of the fact that I'm a living being.

Thank you for teaching me that.

And...

I'm sorry.

Pardon? For what?

I talked to Director Eom about Ivanoff.

I asked her where the painting was.

That's why she slapped you.

No wonder.

I shouldn't have acted all fine. I'm embarrassed now.

-Ms. Sung. -Please forget about it.

I'll do the same.

Let's go now.

Director Gold, you're very good at apologizing.

I wasn't being sarcastic. It was a compliment.

Even just now, I wouldn't have known about it

if you didn't apologize.

It's not easy to admit and be honest

about what you did wrong and apologize.

Even harder when you're the boss.

I may be insensitive, but I don't want to be a coward.

Did you hear that?

I don't want to become irresponsible like my birth parents who abandoned me.

I'll drive you home. I'm sure it was a long day.

-And... -And because you feel sorry?

Have you not forgotten about it yet? I told you to put it behind you.

I'm going to go home now. I want to take a walk by myself.

I'll see you tomorrow.

What brings you--

Regardless of how insignificant I may seem,

I'm still greater than those condescending paintings

that are hung on that wall.

Because I'm a living being, and I will continue to live.

Ms. Sung.

Are you okay?

Wait here.

Who are you?

She is

my girlfriend.

She's my girlfriend!

He's my boyfriend.

Why does it have to be that director? It could have been me.

I have something to return to Cha Si-an's fanpage master.

-Who is it? -It's all my fault.

I can't wait to see and learn new things at Cheum Museum of Art.

Then are you saying she could be Si-an's fan?

The Road to Si-an must be a special fan.

Can you keep this a secret?

All it takes is one lie.

I'm embarrassed to say this in front of you, but...

You can have me all to yourself. You're my girlfriend.
