All language subtitles for Encounter 04

Mr. Kim.

The word "us" is a bit--

I came because I wanted to see you.

Because I wanted to see you.

That's why I'm here.

It's nice

to know that

someone missed me.

But…

what you just said was very dangerous.

I'll pretend that I didn't hear it.

This world is so big and vast, isn't it?

Among the many countries,

we met in one of them,

and in one of its many cities.

We spent a day there together.

And now we are back,

reunited as employer and employee
of a company.

And we shared another fun chapter
in our lives, albeit brief.

All of this…

can't be a coincidence.

I'm not sure about your choice of words.

Spending a day together

and sharing a chapter in our lives.

I don't know about that.

Then how should I put it?

We did spend it together.

Just…

Well, we just briefly…

See?

We spent that time together.

Why don't we just eat?

You're not just
going to make me leave, right?

I know you're tired,

but I'm not going to ask you to stay.

Still, I think we should at least
grab coffee together.

I found an incredible cafe.

It's really perfect.

Let's go.

I'm fine.

I'm not cold at all.

You're like a fireplace.

It's warm, right?

Yes, thank you.

Mr. Kim…

When I was little, I didn't have friends.

I wanted to play with the other children,

but my mother didn't approve of it.

When I finally closed my distance,

I had to distance myself again.

So from a certain point,

I learned to tell myself...

that it's not worth it anyway.

Because it's very heartbreaking
to suddenly distance myself...

from a friend I've come to like.

I had forgotten for a moment…

It was fun…

spending the day with you

and sharing little moments together.

But to drift apart...

and to go back to acting like
nothing has happened…

is still painful.

That's why…

I want to stop.

I'm sorry. I was too tired.

It's just spam.

I'm sorry.

Your head must be bigger than it seems.

Don't you know my shoulders are fragile?

Here.

Thank you.

Can you pass me a memo?

Sure.

WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE
A GIFT WITHOUT BURDENING THEM

Ms. Cha!

I got this for you on my way here.

They're potato cakes.

Thank you.

It was still nice, wasn't it?

Having breakfast with a friend
instead of eating alone.

It was nice, right?

Have a safe drive home.

CAME ACROSS THIS ON MY WAY

"Came across this on my way"?

CHAN'S WHELKS

-Hey, Dae-chan.
-Are you nuts?

I had to get on the subway
with two sacks of onions

and got told off for the smell.

All because you took my truck!

And why is Jin-myung late for work?

I'll get my hands on you two brothers.

-Seriously, I swear.
-Sorry.

Where are you? Come back already!

I'll be waiting nearby.

So please tell her to call.

Okay.

Hello, President.

Do you know where Master Jang is?

Why did you call me all the way here?

Why couldn't we just go for some drinks?

-The thing is--
-Hiding is hard work.

-It's boring.
-Why are you hiding?

Don't be mad at the president.

I blackmailed her over her gallery.

I had no choice.

You know it already.

Your mother is my financier.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

This will only make things awkward
for everyone.

My mother is your financier,

and Ms. Cha is a big fan of yours.

I'm here to tell you how much
of a fan she is on her behalf.

Mr. Jung.

I once earned huge brownie points
when we had just gotten married.

In fact, that was the only time.

We were in Spain together for business,

and she suddenly wanted to go to Portugal.

And not by plane either, but by car.

She asked if I could take her there,

saying she felt awkward
making my secretary drive.

So we rented a car

and drove far to the west.

We drove toward the west
facing the blazing sun,

so it was extremely hot
no matter how strong the AC was.

We drove for six hours in total,

and I didn't get why we had to go by car.

I think

she wanted to retrace the steps
of your journey to the west.

To see whether those blinding fields
of sunflowers were there.

Whether a journey toward the sun

was really hotter than the sun itself.

And whether the wind
blowing from the hill on the west coast

really carried the fragrance of violets.

I guess she wanted to retrace your steps

that she had read in your paintings.

That's how much she loves your paintings.

And with Sokcho being your hometown,

she probably wanted
to hang your work there.

Yes, Master Jang.

You can take the painting.

But I refuse to accept payment.

I'm sorry, but may I ask why?

Let's just say it's a gift for my fan.

A fan who even went
on that journey to the west.

Did you really have to do that?

Don't ever do that again.

She was once your daughter-in-law.

My point exactly.

She was once part of this family,

so how dare she cause shameless scandals.

Hence the punishment.

We don't have the right to do that to her.

You didn't have the right
even when she was family.

If she rejoins the family,

I plan to treat her well.

-So don't you worry.
-Mother.

Whether or not we get back together
is entirely our concern.

It concerns both families.

Assemblyman Cha is still

hesitant on whether
to merge parties or not.

Like father, like daughter.

I'll handle all this,

so you just focus on Taegyeong.

But Soo-hyun isn't an object.

She should make her own decisions in life.

Is that why

you're wasting your life waiting for her?

I'll decide what to do with her.

So don't do anything.

I won't say this again.

If you do anything more…

I'll live my own life too.

Just what is your life?

As far as I know,
I'll no longer be part of Taegyeong.

Dae-chan, let me sleep in your room.

-I can't sleep at home.
-Hey.

First, you disappear
with my truck in the morning,

and now you're treating my place
like a hotel?

Something's definitely up with that guy.

I had forgotten for a moment…

It was fun…

spending the day with you

and sharing little moments together.

But to drift apart...

and to go back to acting like
nothing has happened…

is still painful.

That's why...

I want to stop.

I heard everything, Ms. Cha Soo-hyun.

Hey!

-It's cold, right?
-Hey!

Do you think this is your playground?

Do you think I'm a pushover?

What's with him? Did something happen?

First, Jin-hyuk wakes up
the entire neighborhood at dawn

asking for my truck.

And there's his brother

forcing me to hire him as a part-timer.

No wonder I'm growing old.

Jin-hyuk took your truck at dawn?

-Why?
-I know, right? I wonder where he went.

Something's fishy.

When a man suddenly gets up

so early in the morning,

it's either for his parents or a girl.

My parents are fine.

Exactly. So it's a girl.

But if it was for a girl,
he wouldn't have taken your truck.

He would've rented a fancy car.

Hey, what about my car?

It's not that romantic.

To the dogs with romance!

Guys who rent cars are
just putting on airs.

So where's Jin-hyuk now?

He's sleeping in there.

Completely knocked out.

Just what is happening to you, Jin-hyuk?

I came because I wanted to see you.

Because I wanted to see you.

That's why I'm here.

I have a favor to ask.

Ms. Cha would've returned this herself,

but she's so behind with work.

It's her birthday soon, isn't it?

Was it not appropriate
for her ex-husband to send a gift?

Maybe she felt burdened
that you went all the way to Sokcho.

So you came to return it instead?

You do a lot for a secretary.

Let's just say I'm here as her friend.

If you're here as her friend,
can you pass on some advice?

Everyone's already
talking about the scandal,

so shouldn't she be more careful?

I wonder what he meant.

He said you should be more careful.

Don't tell me you met him again.

It's nothing serious.

I'm not royalty,
so I don't understand your world.

But it's obvious
the painting incident was a warning.

You know better what they're like.

Would they let me be

if I kept quiet?

Where are you going?

You scared me!

I heard you dropped by
Dae-chan's shop yesterday.

You were completely knocked out.

Why sleep there instead of your own bed?

I had my reasons.

What reasons?

Do you have a side job?

Why would I get a side job
when I have a great job already?

Please.

-It's nice working with me, right?
-No.

Hey, wait up!

It's Ms. Cha's birthday soon,

so shouldn't we congratulate her
in the company newsletter?

She doesn't like that sort of thing.

I bet rich people receive

expensive gifts for their birthday.

She doesn't like those kinds of gifts.

I know you're close with Ms. Cha,

but you never know.

I'm sure she'd like luxury gifts.

Ms. Cha herself is a brand.

Stop talking nonsense.

Ms. Kim seems like
a nice person, doesn't she?

-Yes.
-Don’t let that fool you.

She's merciless when it comes to work.

She'll eat you up if you make a mistake.

She was headhunted
by President Cha herself.

She's one of the founding members.

By the way, Mr. Park.

Will there be a birthday event
for Ms. Cha?

Did you not hear Ms. Kim?

She's not into that.

Then how do you even remember
Ms. Cha's birthday?

We have the same birthday.

And this year, it falls on a Saturday.

But don't get a gift for me, okay?

Have some of this.

Your steps will feel much lighter.

Thank you.

My body does feel lighter.

-Right?
-Yes.

I guess you could
give me a gift on Friday, but don't.

I hate that sort of stuff.

I don't use men's cosmetics.

My skin is sensitive, so I use my mom's.

Gosh, my skin is so dry.

Tomorrow's going to be a good day

Mr. Nam!

Oh, gosh. Here she comes.

Man, here comes trouble.

Secretary Jang! Good afternoon.

Fess up. I know everything already.

Then what do you want to know?

What happened to Mr. Kim?

Well, Mr. Kim…

I was talking to him,
and he also happened to have

business down in Sokcho,
so I gave him a ride.

You took him with you?

-You said you knew everything.
-Gosh.

Mr. Nam, how could you do this?

You know Soo-hyun is in a mess.

What if they got another picture taken?

Did it already happen?

Gosh, we only stayed at the hotel.

Besides, I was with them.

Then people will say he's your son!

Nothing happened, so please don't worry.

This is all going to start a big mess.

I hope it does, actually.

I mean, look at Soo-hyun.

She's more expressionless
than a mannequin.

Who cares about the hotel?

What's the point?

People should be happy.

She should just quit

and settle down with a man she loves.

So you were the one to watch out for.

-Mi-jin.
-Don't talk to me.

Soo-hyun had a glowing smile on her face.

I haven't seen her smile like that
since she was in middle school.

I mean, if his background was
on par with Taegyeong,

I'd gladly step up and help.

But not a new recruit
who's too busy sorting himself out.

You won't be able to get married
if you're so picky.

Mr. Nam!

You even came down to Sokcho for this.

So why won't you receive the painting?

I feel burdened by the help
I didn't want to receive.

You tortured me like that

when you weren't even that desperate?

I am desperate.

Which is why I don't consider
my time in Sokcho a waste.

But the pressure I feel

is just as big
as the size of my desperation.

They are people you can't beat.

Wrestling with people
you can't win against

will only tire you out, Ms. Cha.

I sincerely thank you

for your advice.

Next is the hottest news of the week!

-The ex-wife of Taegyeong's CEO
-Hey, it's the same.

-and president of Donghwa Hotel has been
-That's Jin-hyuk's cardigan.

spotted on a date.

Hey, you're right.

You know, I picked it out for him.

Do you see?

I really think I'm wasting my talent
on selling fruits.

Right, honey?

Have you ever met the president
of your company in person?

What?

Yes, at the office.

-So is she really that pretty?
-Yes.

That's the first time
I heard him say someone's pretty.

-She must be pretty then.
-So what if she is?

I pity her life.

So what if she's rich?
Her life must be so tiring.

The biggest happiness for any woman

is to settle down with a man
and have kids.

What's the point of being rich?
Right, honey?

Come on, Mom. That's so old-fashioned.

She's very competent and awesome.

Mom and her useless worrying again.

It's pointless to worry
about celebrities and rich people.

I'd give anything to date a girl like her.

Nonsense. I don't like girls
who are successful.

Especially girls with a lot of stories.

Right, honey?

But, you know…

that guy kind of looks familiar.

Just who is this man?

As soon as we have
any clues on his identity,

-we will keep you updated.
-Doesn't he…

Doesn't he kind of look like Dae-chan?

He does.

So you do know how to answer.

You wouldn't even answer back to me.

Give me that. I'll carry it.

It's okay.

When are you going to move?

I see you both at work
and in the neighborhood.

The fact is, you moved here after I did.

Let me set this straight.
My husband chose this area.

Maybe he picked the wrong place.

Right? It's something to do
with the area, right?

Maybe that's why he's having an affair.

Did they find anything?

-No.
-Then why say it like it's a fact?

You and your imagination.

You know I have good intuition.

When I was a freshman in college…

That is, when my brother
gave up on the world…

I had a bad feeling,

so I cried and asked you
to find him for me.

Do you remember?

Why are you bringing that up?

Myung-sik, what if he's
really cheating on me?

If he really is cheating on you,

I'll beat him to death.

Don't.

I already lost my brother.
I don't want to lose my husband too.

Gosh, that brat.

Come and carry this for me.
It's too heavy!

Fine.

Soo-hyun really must be enjoying this.

Who's this? His girlfriend?

I don't think so.

She's an employee at Donghwa

and an old friend of Kim Jin-hyuk's.

Mr. Park, turn the lights off
before you leave.

Why didn't you give it to me
in the morning?

It was on my mind the whole day.

But it doubles the effect
after some suspense.

I'm so touched!

How did you know it was my birthday?

Happy birthday. See you.

How did you know I have sensitive skin?

Jin-hyuk.

-Happy birthday.
-What do you want to eat?

Mr. Park is a funny guy, isn't he?

He's the life of the party in our team.

You mean he's immature.

I don't know this number.

Yes, hello?

Yes, speaking.

-I'd like to see you for a bit.
-Who are you?

I have something to discuss
regarding Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk.

I'll have to take the subway.

Why? Isn't that the bus to your place?

Yes, but something came up.
I have to be somewhere.

Bye.

Gosh, I can't believe myself.

Unbelievable.

You can't just step on the brakes
all of a sudden.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Who are you?

I'm a colleague of hers.

Are you hurt?

No.

It's too dark, so I can't see.

I can't tell whose car is more damaged.

Let's just call the insurance company.

I'm sure the sudden stop startled you,
so let us cover all the damages.

What if you change your mind?

Just call insurance.

No, let us bear all the expenses.

We're sorry.

Please call this number
when you receive an estimate.

You work for a nice company.

Then may I take a picture, just in case?

I bet you were startled.

Just a bit.

Do you want to see a doctor?

No, it's fine.

Where's Mr. Nam?

I was running late, so…

I'll take you home.

I said it's fine!

Ms. Cha.

It looks like you're resisting yourself.

Listen, Mr. Kim.

You know nothing about me to be this rude.

Let me be rude just one more time.

I won't let you drive. It's too dangerous.

You can be mad at me later.

So just do as I say for today.

Get some sleep until we're there.

That tie… It really is something.

It's a bit funny, right?

Well, it deserves praise
since it made you smile.

What?

Upload an anonymous post

about Mr. Kim and Ms. Cha
on the company web community.

If you do that,
we'll promote you to assistant manager

in Donghwa Hotel's top department.

No, thank you.

I'm not interested in Ms. Cha's affairs,

and I'm especially not interested
in jeopardizing Jin-hyuk's well-being.

Depending on how you write the story,

Kim Jin-hyuk may be safe.

But it'll agonize him.

Jin-hyuk's my friend. I can't do that.

I don't know if it's friendship or love,

but they don't suit each other.

You people are very rude.

Don't try to put a smear
on someone's life like this.

I'm not happy about it,

but I don't want to go that far.

Besides, there's nothing between them.

I still have reporters
sneaking around sometimes.

Let me take over from here.

And if that man calls about the accident,
let my secretary know.

Wait.

Just one minute, Ms. Cha.

Mr. Kim, are you feeling unwell?

Can't you move?

No. Just wait.

There.

Happy birthday.

And this is a gift for you.

I wanted to give you something
since it's your birthday.

I heard rich people receive
a lot of luxury goods,

but I'm a new recruit.

I didn't want to make
a fool out of myself,

going out of my way
to get you an expensive gift.

I saw a photo of a model
wearing this lipstick,

but I thought it'd suit you better.

Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday.

But I can't accept your gift.

It's too small to call it a gift, right?

No, that's not it.

Mr. Kim.

To be honest,

I don't want to be
involved with you, Mr. Kim.

This is all very new,

so it's burdening me.

I guess I was stepping over the line.

I'll be off then.

Give it to me.

Just in case you think
I don't appreciate your sincerity.

Happy birthday to you, then.

My gosh, I've done it again.

Open the door. Let's have a party.

Hey, it's lipstick.

And it looks like the latest collection!

Someone gave it to me.

Who?

Something smells fishy.

If you're here to nag, the party's over.

I really don't know how you're doing this.

When do you even meet him?

Do you meet him in your dreams?

I was in a car accident today.

What?

Mr. Kim will call tomorrow.

Please take care of it for me.

How did you get into an accident,

and why does he have
anything to do with it?

Gosh, my head. I have a headache.

It just happened. It was a fender bender.

He just happened to be there,

and he gave his business card. That's all.

And he gave you this lipstick?

He said it's a birthday gift.

Is he a stalker?

I hope she doesn't think I'm her stalker.

Should I have told her
how I knew her birthday?

I heard Mr. Nam took him there.

He confessed?

I interrogated him.

I knew it.

All he cares about is your happiness.

He never thinks about the consequences.

I'm really weird these days, aren't I?

I don't know.

I am.

These days,

I personally think…

you're back to how you were

before you stepped up
to help your father with the elections.

What do you mean?

It means

you're back to being

that bright and crazy girl you used to be.

Are you calling me crazy?

Okay, fine.
Let's just say you're eccentric.

That's the same thing.

Hey, do remember how you saved me

after I was caught skipping school
to go to that concert?

Don't you remember?

Who knew the goody two shoes
and top student, Cha Soo-hyun,

would also skip school
to go to the same concert?

Our teacher just let it slip
thanks to you.

Did that really happen?

It all sounds unfamiliar.
It's as if it wasn't me.

You need to stop, Soo-hyun.

I've been telling myself that
ever since I was in Cuba.

But…

we keep bumping into each other.

Should I return this lipstick for you?

I did the same for Woo-seok's gift.

Okay. Let's return it.

Okay?

What's with the hesitation in your eyes?

There's no hesitation.

What…

This really is no joke.

Please pass this onto Soo-hyun.

It's her birthday, isn't it?

You still remember her birthday?

I hope she knows how much we think of her.

But it's hard to convey my feelings.

I talked to her, so don't worry.

Then please talk to Assemblyman Cha too.

I've been told
that he's against the merger.

You must be mistaken.

We've slowly begun patching things up,

so I do hope everything goes smoothly.

Yes, of course.

You know he can't make it
to the Blue House

with the number of people
in his party, right?

He'll still lead the party
after the merger,

and he'll be the sole
primary candidate as well.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

No need for such formality between us.

Of course.

It's like you just came back
from the salon.

Can you do my hair too?

Why don't you go wash your face first?

-Are you going home?
-Yes.

I'd prefer not to be invited
on my birthday,

but my mom still doesn't get it.

Do you want to come?
You haven't seen my dad in a while.

No, it's okay.

I'd love to see your dad, but your mom…

Besides, I'm seeing someone
this afternoon.

This is a gift from your mother-in-law.

She asked me to pass it on
because you're so feisty.

Can't you be more obedient?

There's no reason for us
to exchange gifts.

Why did you take it?

Your attitude is
creating more work for me.

What do you think this means?

It means she's watching you
and that you'd better behave.

Stop nagging her. It's her birthday.

She'll choke on her food.

Here. This is from me.

You like this poet too, Dad?

Yes. Do you?

I'm starting to.

I SEE YOU LIKE I SEE A FLOWER
NA TAE-JU

Here, Jin-hyuk.

JANG-SOO FRUITS

Put them there.

-Hello?
-Yes, hello.

I'm Jang Mi-jin.

Hello.

Can we meet?

I'll come over to where you are.

But I'd like to see you somewhere quiet.

Somewhere quiet?

What kind of place is this?

Does he want a midday drink with me
or something?

CHAN'S WHELKS

Is anyone there?

Well, it is quiet.

-Welcome!
-Hello.

Is it just you?

Here's the menu
if you want to order anything.

Do you have coffee?

No. As you can see, we only serve alcohol.

Do you have Coca-Cola?

Yes, we do.

But this isn't exactly a cafe.

Exactly my thoughts.

Why would he choose a place like this?

What? What do you mean
by "a place like this"?

Whelks for lunch isn't exactly ideal.

Right. So why did you come
for whelks at lunchtime?

Gosh, what a great way to start the day.

Listen. If you leave,

make a left, and walk straight for 100m,

you'll come across an amazing cafe.

Go get your coffee there.

No one asked you to come here.

You act like someone asked you to come.

He asked me to meet him here.

Jin-hyuk.

-Is she here for you?
-Yes.

I'm sorry I'm late.
I was busy helping out at my dad's store.

Should we go elsewhere
if you're uncomfortable?

Let's just stay.
It won't take long anyway.

-I'd like my Coca-Cola.
-Okay.

-One for me as well.
-Sure. I'll leave you two to talk.

Is he your brother?

He's a good friend.

I wanted to see you
where there's no-one around.

It's okay.
He's not interested in my affairs at all.

Why did you want to see me on the weekend?

I'll just get to the point.

Please stop involving yourself
with Ms. Cha.

It may be a harmless thing for you,

but not for her.

Yes, I understand what you mean.

Ms. Cha is very fragile,
unlike how she looks.

I have a question.

Go on.

Is there not a single thing

Ms. Cha can do as she wants?

There must be something.

Do you even have to filter out her friends
as her secretary on behalf of the company?

If you seemed like friends,
there wouldn't be a scandal.

Average people like you and I

are able to keep things private

regardless of whom we date
or break up with.

But it's not like that with Ms. Cha.

It's something
I can't quite adjust to either.

Even a small fender bender
makes headlines.

I crashed into a car yesterday,
and it was President Cha of Donghwa Hotel.

She was really pretty.

I couldn't get her number
because her secretary cut in.

This is what I mean.

Thank goodness he thought you were
her secretary. What if he hadn't?

Maybe you're doing this out of curiosity

because this is a world
you've never been in before,

but this person could lose everything
with just a single scratch.

Please understand that I have to do this.

Hey, who was that girl?

She was icy cold,
and she didn't even try to hide it.

Where are you going?

Nice. They didn't open the bottle.

It's not fun knowing this other world.

It just surprises me each day.

I realize how different it is…

and it shocks me.

I'll make sure my interest
doesn't trouble her anymore.

But…

this isn't just playful curiosity.

For someone to let
someone else into their heart…

even if it's for a brief moment…

I personally think...

it's something very meaningful.

Have a safe drive, then.

What's this?
"President Cha must stop now"?

Read that post. Ms. Cha's in trouble.

-Mr. Kim, did you see this?
-Is this true?

Did you see the post?

Isn't this trouble?

I feel so bad for Ms. Cha.

"I heard a tip-off
that the man in the photo

is an employee who works
at one of Donghwa's partner companies.

I wish President Cha would stop

tormenting him to satisfy her own desires.

Has it ever occurred to her
that he's obligated

to meet her if she asks him to

because he works for
one of Donghwa's partner companies?

Abusing her power and influence

to take advantage of a powerless employee

is inappropriate
as the president of Donghwa Hotel.

It's time she returns to being
the respected female CEO she once was."

Who could this be?

Director Choi keeps requesting a meeting.

He says he can overlook
a page in the tabloids,

but this is a whole new matter
and must be discussed.

I bet he's enjoying it.

Isn't it my ex-mother-in-law
he needs to talk to?

I don't need to see him,
because this is nothing.

-Please pass that on.
-Yes, ma'am.

ANONYMOUS BULLETIN BOARD

Look at the comments.

"I knew her beauty
would cause trouble someday."

"Does this back the rumors
that she's a regular at host clubs?"

"Whoever he is, poor guy!
Refuse her, and he gets the boot."

Man, this is no joke.

At this rate, President Cha might faint.

Who did this anyway?

He really shoved the dirt on her.

Stop wasting your time
on baseless rumors.

You all know what Ms. Cha is like,

so don't be swayed so easily.

But you never really know a person.

Here.

Everyone's just jealous.

When you're talented,
you're surrounded by enemies.

Like anyone's in a position to envy her.

Wealth, looks, and competence.

We can't beat her in anything.

I guess I'm a little younger.

Actually, that's not comforting at all.

But do you think
she really goes to host clubs?

Let's be honest. It'll be so lonely
just to work her life away.

People in the political
and financial world

tend to play dirtier behind the scenes.

Have you witnessed anything, Ms. Gu?

Sorry?

What you just said about politicians
and business owners.

Have you ever seen anyone
do that kind of thing?

Well, the rumors--

Assumptions and hasty conclusions.

They're very dangerous.

I'm sorry.

This is a good friend of mine.

He's quick-witted too.

Does he know how to keep secrets?

Just leave it to me.

I'll prove my loyalty
toward Taegyeong Group.

I HEARD THE MAN IN THE PHOTO
IS AN EMPLOYEE WHO WORKS FOR DONGHWA

I'm disappointed I missed the fun
at Donghwa Hotel.

I bet it's getting interesting.

We'll slowly start calling up the board

and have President Cha take responsibility
for damaging the hotel's reputation.

You should get ready too, Director Choi.

You've been on the board too long.

It won't be long
before you become the president.

My son will have a fit

once he reads the online post.

He's quite a romantic.

Still…

He should know about this.

ANONYMOUS BULLETIN BOARD

-Yes, sir.
-Can I see you for a second?

Hello, sir.

There's a post on Donghwa's web board

that talks ill of Ms. Cha.

-I want to know who wrote it.
-I'll take a look discreetly.

And find a hacker to take down the server

so this post doesn't spread anymore.

I'll pay whatever,
but it needs to be quick.

It's like our office is the setting
for some third-rate romance.

The rumors about Ms. Kim
are going to ruin our hotel's image.

Who knew she had that side to her?

-It's just shocking.
-I kind of knew.

People like her can get really obsessed.

I guess she fell hard
for that younger guy.

I wonder who he is.
He works at a partner company, right?

Would you want to step forward
if you were him?

The moment he does,
people will know his face,

and he'll have to quit his job.

Everyone's having fun, aren't they?

They're tearing her apart
instead of their food.

Jin-hyuk, what's wrong?

Pardon?

I'm just not feeling well.

I've lost my appetite too.

Let's go.

I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN
BECAUSE OF HER LOOKS

It's time you go home.

Your car will be on the basement floor.

No, there's no need.

Why should I have to hide?

Everyone's having a ball.

It's best to just stay out of sight.

It's okay. They'll mock me harder
if I try to avoid them.

Okay, everyone. Let's all go home.

How about a drink
to settle all this agitation?

I'm not sensing any agitation.

Let's go.

So you were still here.

I called you many times
so I could talk to you,

but you never called back,
so I was wondering what to do.

There's nothing to talk about.

Goodness, Ms. Cha.

You made all your employees go into panic,

and yet you call this nothing?

Aren't you a bit brazen?

Ms. Cha needs to leave.
She's late for a meeting.

Oh, really?

Then why not just say it here
since you're busy?

It looks like everyone here...

wants an explanation from you.

There is nothing to explain.

It must be true, then.

Now please excuse me.

But you need to say something
as the CEO of Donghwa.

Is he really an employee
at our partner company?

I'm horrified to ask.

Is he actually someone from a host club,

which is what some are assuming?

I'm hoping to hear you say

that he's a cousin.

I don't see why I should answer that.

First the scandal, and now that post.

I don't think it's appropriate for you
to just avoid them.

It's tainted the company's reputation.

Okay, then. Let's hear your answer.

-I guess all those rumors are true.
-My gosh.

Let's go.

Ms. Cha!

Ms. Cha Soo-hyun.

Are you getting off work?

Just live your life.

Don't come any closer.

I've made my decision.

I've decided to step into the world...

where you're standing all alone.

I have some money on me today.

I'll treat you today,

so how about we go have some ramyeon?

What?

That man was Jin-hyuk?

Jin-hyuk.

What? Is he the guy?

We may get stuck in traffic
if we go to a rest stop,

so how about we eat cup noodles
at a convenience store?

Don't ask me what these feelings are...

because I don't know yet myself.

All I know is…

that right now, I won't leave you...

standing there all by yourself.

Shall we walk?

We met penniless in Cuba.

Then we met again
as employer and employee.

Our relationship is quite interesting.

Your hand…

Before I knew it, I was smiling.

And that's when love begins.

Look into that employee.
I want to know everything.

Do you suppose we'll meet again?
