It's so pretty.

We're all wet!

This is nice.

JOSÉ MARTÍ INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Oh, I remember something.

I offered this guy a business class ticket,

but he turned it down

to stick to his principles.

Yes, that happened.

I booked a business flight again,

but you can turn it down again.

I'm off to catch my flight.

Take me with you.

ANNOUNCEMENT

TRANSFER NOTICE FOR KIM JIN-HYUK, THE FACE OF DONGHWA

COMPANY ID

My goodness, Mr. Kim!

Welcome back to the PR department.

-Thank you. -Congratulations.

-Thanks. -How does it feel to be back?

-It feels great. -I knew it.

I knew Jin-hyuk wouldn't get chased out.

Whatever.

Jin-hyuk, I wiped your desk for you this morning.

Thank you, Eun-jin.

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

How about a word of congratulations, Mr. Lee?

Oh, sure. Welcome back.

Thank you.

Now that I'm back,

shouldn't we meet up?

Welcome back.

That's it?

Come on, that's disappointing.

You want more?

What more should I do?

Let me at least see you.

Come to my office then.

But wouldn't that be too formal?

You're not asking me to ditch work again, are you?

JIN-HYUK

I just came back, so that wouldn't be right.

You don't want to come to my office or go anywhere else.

Then what?

There's a place you might not know about.

Why don't I meet you there?

There's no such place like that.

I know this place inside out, you know.

You want to bet on it?

What should we bet on?

Dinner?

Sure. Where shall I meet you, then?

First, step out of your office and go to the hotel.

Then take the elevator.

To what floor?

Basement level two.

Are you talking about where we receive goods?

No, we'd catch everyone's eyes if we met there.

You really underestimate me.

But this leads to the laundry room and the restaurant.

Oh, so you know.

That's our CEO.

There are a lot of employees here. You want to meet here?

I'd rather meet you in the lobby than meet you there.

Anyway, come in quick!

Yes, Director. Go on.

I'm a director now?

I'm surprised that's how you interpreted it.

Now do you see a door down the corridor?

Open that door.

You should be surprised right about now.

Do you see Director Kim Jin-hyuk?

No, just where…

You didn't know, did you?

I guess they renovated this place.

The facilities team is in charge of that.

Which is why you didn't know.

I guess I won the bet.

Well, I guess it's quiet here.

It's nice, right?

We only use this place when we have events.

-You seem to know the hotel a lot better. -No.

We used this place for storage during our last event.

Oh, I see.

Now that you won the bet and saw me too,

we should go.

Seriously? You want to leave already?

Don't you have a lot to do now that you're back?

Still, 30 seconds is just too short.

It'd be like we never even met.

But it's not like we can do anything here.

Come on.

We made time to meet...

during working hours.

You know?

That's the fun of office dating.

Office dating.

This is going to get awkward if someone sees us.

Gosh.

There aren't any events, so no one…

We cleaned that place yesterday.

-I'm just going to take a break. -Okay.

Here.

My goodness. Hello, President Cha.

I see you're working hard.

Thank you. But what brings you down here?

I'm taking a look around to see if everything's okay for the staff.

Oh, I see.

I'll leave you to it.

Gosh, my legs.

Yes, Mr. Park.

Jin-hyuk, did you go back to Sokcho or something?

No way.

I'm in the bathroom.

Hurry up and come back!

Sure, I'm almost done.

Okay.

Hello.

Goodbye, then.

Those are the good days.

PRESIDENT JUNG WOO-SEOK

You mean President Cha will crumble.

You can resign as soon as it's done.

Take your family…

JUNG WOO-SEOK

Were you surprised?

Let's meet and talk.

Mr. Nam.

You want to go to Hongje-dong?

You might move to Hongje-dong at this rate.

I'm seriously considering that option.

Living in the same neighborhood as Seon-ju

is starting to get very tiring for me.

I'd rather have Jin-hyuk as my neighbor.

Why don't we both move?

Well, if it's not to Hongje-dong…

What should we do then?

About the Cuba Hotel incident…

I meant to ask you about that.

Are you going to turn a blind eye?

Without catching Mr. Kim or whatever his name is?

I should find out who was behind it.

But I can't get the police involved.

I don't want our hotel in Cuba to get mentioned in the tabloids.

So I was thinking…

I need your help.

Anytime.

I must say, I was startled.

Same here.

Did you really have to go that far?

President Kim won't be happy about this.

The result is what matters.

Go ahead, then.

You must've called me here to state a request.

You seem confident.

"I only followed President Kim's orders."

That's your defense, is it?

I won't use that video

to put you in a pickle, Director Choi.

I just simply need your help.

I only showed my hand in case you turned me down.

Mr. Cho is also in that video.

The secretary who works for President Kim?

He would've left Korea by now.

Wouldn't she have hid him already?

Director Choi.

You really don't know my mother.

How about this?

We'll keep that video a secret between you and I.

Why not go and sound out President Kim's intentions?

See if she'll choose to protect you...

or make you the scapegoat.

Because I think it'll be the latter.

Let's discuss this after you meet her.

But should you mention the video to her,

I won't think twice...

and hand it over to President Cha.

Okay, here's to Jin-hyuk's return!

-Congratulations. -Thank you!

The neighborhood has brightened up now that you're back.

Gosh, thanks.

Do you know how quiet he's been while you've been gone?

-I thought he had depression! -Oh, really?

No.

I was just a little melancholy. It gets lonely in winter.

Hey, part-timer!

Why aren't you working?

Hey, why are you taking your stress out on me?

You stress me out so much. I'm about to lose all my hair.

Hey, that's mine!

I never said you could use that.

Why can't I borrow it? Why are you so stingy?

Why are you two always fighting?

And stop calling me a part-timer.

Why not "business partner"?

Sure, but business partners don't get paid wages.

Did you get a birthday gift for your mom?

I'm still thinking.

Are you talking about our mom?

-Take a hint already. -You didn't know?

Hey, count me in. Let's say we got it together.

-Sure. -Then let's have a party for her.

-I'm thinking of taking her out this time. -That's nice, brother.

There's the hotel voucher I received last time,

and we can also eat at the hotel.

Would she like that?

I'm sure she'll love it.

Talk about a filial son!

You know what?

If I could be guaranteed a son like Jin-hyuk,

I would totally consider marriage.

-What? "Marriage"? Are you seeing someone? -You're getting married?

-You wish. -Hey, be quiet.

Okay, here’s to Jin-hyuk coming back.

-Congratulations. -Hold on.

To Dae-chan's future and his marriage!

No, wait.

Here's to our mom's birthday.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations!

JANG-SOO FRUITS

-Dad. -Gosh, you scared me!

-Are you good to go? -Yes.

Let's go.

-What about the shop? -I'm on a break.

I got bored sitting there all day.

-Do you need to leave soon? -No.

I still have 30 minutes left for lunch.

I wanted to talk to you, but your mother's always home.

I could've gone to your shop.

I wanted to see you at work.

Jin-hyuk.

Yes?

I can't keep acting like I know nothing.

Plus, your mother is worried.

I'm talking about you...

and the CEO of your company.

I should've told you first, but I couldn't find the right timing.

I felt bad about you going to Sokcho.

But I couldn't ask why you were going.

And you even said all that stuff about putting in an effort for love.

You obviously said that because things were hard.

Will you be okay?

What do you mean?

That hotel was big and nice.

And she has many more, right? Including the one in Cuba.

And she's a public figure.

I trust you, son.

I really do, but…

Dad.

I thought about it a lot.

I know you're worried.

But, Dad,

I've decided...

to walk this path with her.

I don't know how far we'll go,

but I'll try going as far as we can.

And what if you regret it?

Fine. It's about two people in love.

It wouldn't be love if you started calculating the odds.

Okay.

I had to come and ask so I could decide for myself

whether to support you or try to stop you.

Please support us, Dad.

Your lunch break will be over soon. You should go.

Seeing our journalist…

I mean, seeing you dressed like this

is kind of daunting.

I can't get used to it.

Me neither.

It's killing me, you know.

Hey, let me at least finish my meal.

You're not using your ears to eat.

Get me this number's call log.

Now you sound like a journalist.

KIM JIN-TAE

-Is something up? -Just help me out.

I need to look into it, but it needs to be done quietly.

Why go out of your way when it's clearly not your business?

-I'll need some time. -Okay.

By the way, let's say I beat a guy up.

But he deserved it. He cheated on his wife, so I beat him up.

What happens then?

-You get arrested. -Got it.

Eat up. We haven't eaten out in a while.

You've lost weight.

I'm on a diet.

Why is a student going on a diet?

You're on a diet too.

I just don't have an appetite.

Why don't you have an appetite? Because you got a divorce?

No.

What if your future in-laws don't like you

because you have a divorced mother?

I won't date a guy with parents like that.

Dad didn't cheat on you because you're not pretty.

He's just weird.

I never thought of it like that.

You know I get good grades, right?

Yes, of course. You study so hard on your own.

That's all because I want to be like you.

You're awesome, Mom.

I want to work at a nice company and grow up to be as beautiful as you are.

I love you, Mom.

You're the best.

Thanks.

That means a lot to me.

Don't let my divorce get to you, okay?

You grew up on organic baby food.

Why does that have anything to do with this?

I know, right?

Fine.

When you grow old,

I'll nurse you on organic stuff too.

Here. Let's start with this.

Is it good?

Yes, it's good.

I also went to the playground in Hongje-dong.

It's going to be torn down.

You must be sad to hear it.

I am.

I pretty much grew up there.

SOO-HYUN

I'm supposed to buy dinner, right?

So you remembered?

After losing that dinner bet,

you never mentioned anything, so I couldn't bring it up.

I wasn't sure if I should.

But I'm glad you finally remembered it.

It just slipped my mind.

You didn't have to say that.

I was looking forward to meeting you for dinner.

You broke your promise, and now you don't even get me.

But even so, I miss you every day.

So I guess I'll just have to understand.

I was reminded of this playground.

So I used our bet as an excuse

to visit this place with you before it disappears.

I think it's you who's clueless.

Oh, come on.

I guess it's my fault.

This place came to my mind while reviewing the garden in Cuba.

This playground means a lot to you,

so I thought about how you'd feel once it's gone.

It made me feel sad.

It's upsetting, isn't it?

The owner of the garden in Cuba told me

that he fell in love with his wife in that garden

and sealed their love there.

I'm sad that this place is going to disappear,

but it's where it made us happen,

so I'm ready to send it off with a smile.

Don't your legs hurt?

Gosh, you're just not romantic at all.

Let's go. You need to buy me dinner.

Where should we go?

How about the whelk place since it's been a while?

No, that might not be so good for your mental health.

Let's go somewhere else today.

Can I see you briefly today?

I also have something to give you.

What should we get?

Since you're buying…

-Udon's always right. -Right.

Then let's start with udon.

Don't slurp the noodles.

It's kind of hard not to with udon.

Can we have some soju as well?

Sure. Today, we'll do everything you want.

Now that I think of it,

I've never seen you drunk.

I can hold my liquor. I just rarely drink.

Then are you ready for a long night?

-Bring it on. -Bring it on.

Can we have one udon and chicken gizzards?

-Sure. -And a bottle of soju, please.

-Sure. -It's going to be delicious.

Why aren't you drinking?

Because I'm going to be your chauffeur tonight.

Hey, it's no fun getting drunk by myself.

Even so, I can't drink.

Jin-hyuk.

Yes?

You know something?

I'm really happy these days.

Same here.

No, I'm a lot happier.

What is it that makes you so happy?

Well, we had ramyeon together,

and even udon, whelks,

and chicken gizzards.

These were my first gizzards today.

-They're delicious, right? -Yes, they are.

-Amazing, right? -Yes, amazing.

You're cuter when you're drunk.

I must say I am quite cute.

You know, I'm actually really cute. But the thing is…

Yes?

But people don’t really know that.

So what if they don't?

What matters is that I do.

Right.

I…

I'm really happy.

I know.

I'm so happy

to have you by my side.

Hearing that makes me really happy too.

But something worries me.

What?

That it might all be a dream.

Every morning when I wake up,

I wonder if you're still in my life...

and hope last night wasn't a dream.

I check and re-confirm,

become relieved,

only to get scared again.

I get scared you might disappear.

Why would I disappear?

I'm right here.

I'm scared you might get taken away.

Just like those people

who were once my friends.

I'm worried you might get taken away from me.

Soo-hyun.

Yes?

I have a new destination now.

-Destination? -Yes, destination.

My coordinates are set to a meter next to you.

I'm always going to be there.

Good.

But isn't a meter a bit too far?

Is it?

How about this much, then?

Exactly 10 centimeters.

Good.

It's just perfect.

Exactly 10 centimeters.

Good.

It's just perfect.

Come out already.

You've been in there too long.

-Eat this, Jin-hyuk. -You go ahead.

Eat it. That's a good boy.

You're so pretty.

You have pretty eyes and pretty lips. So cute.

If I get in, will we go for round two?

Yes, of course.

Mr. Nam. To the office, please.

JIN-HYUK

Hey, Jin-hyuk. Did you get home safely last night?

That's enough. I remember everything.

I'll continue next time.

So this is what late romance does to you.

Hey, why are you up so early?

You woke me up with all the noise.

Whatever. Mom! Jin-hyuk…

-I'll give you money. -How much?

-Fifty thousand won. -Dad!

Fine. 100,000 won.

-What about your brother? -Well…

He says he's going to quit work and audition for a TV show.

I don't think you're that good.

No.

So I gave up.

Okay, good.

About the hotel in Cuba…

President Cha will try and dig behind it,

and I'm quite worried.

That was your work?

What? President Kim.

Why are you here today?

Mr. Cho was also at the scene.

Who's Mr. Cho?

President Kim, please don't make things difficult.

How exactly did I make things difficult?

Why not go and sound out President Kim's intentions?

See if she'll choose to protect you

or make you the scapegoat.

This is absurd.

I risked everything to--

I don’t know what you're on about.

Why are you here talking about something

that should be discussed with President Cha?

DONGHWA HOTEL PROSPECTS 2019

What is it that you want?

I guess it's better that I don't ask how it went with President Kim.

Start buying stocks and turn them over to me.

I can't do anything with the shares I'm holding.

I'll need at least more than Soo-hyun's shares

to be able to protect you or anyone else.

Offer a fair price. Don't worry about the costs.

But please hurry. We need to hold a shareholder's meeting.

A shareholder's meeting?

I must address an important agenda.

Donghwa Hotel has grown too big for Soo-hyun to manage it alone.

I think it's time a professional steps in.

What do you think?

Are you saying...

you plan to make Ms. Cha step down from the CEO position?

We'll see about that.

But first,

I'd like to join the company.

You mean you'll step in as co-CEO?

Not a bad picture, is it?

As you already know, even with the stocks held by Taegyeong directors

you won't get a position as co-CEO.

The directors in favor of President Cha

-will vote against it. -I'll take care of that.

Just bring me the shares owned by our directors at Taegyeong.

And try to keep this from President Kim.

CHAN'S WHELKS

Gosh, you scared me.

You've been out here for 30 minutes.

Gosh, it's cold. Are you trying to freeze to death?

What do you mean? I was only passing by.

So is business doing well?

I'll be off then.

Okay, fine.

Let's say you were passing by.

It just so happened to be here out of all the places in Seoul.

Let's just say that.

My gosh. Excuse me.

I can go in myself.

It was freezing out there, wasn't it?

Fish cakes.

Do you have rice?

Yes, of course.

Jin-myung!

Get her a big bowl of warm rice.

-Sure. -Dae-chan!

-Yes? -Is that your girlfriend?

-Well… -I'm just a customer.

Right? I can't imagine you two as a couple.

No, right?

Why does that tick me off?

You're like our family now, Ms. Secretary.

Stop calling me that.

It makes me feel like I'm still working.

-I don't know your name-- -Jang Mi-jin.

Are you interested in me? You know my name.

You said a lot of mean things to me after meeting through the dating app,

so of course I remember your name.

You and your grudge. I apologized for that already.

Yes, which is why I'm serving you this warm meal.

I'm paying for this meal.

Or do you not take money from charming women?

Of course not.

Jin-myung.

Do we even have any charming customers today?

-Well, she's right here. -Fine.

Goodbye.

Just kidding!

Why do you keep on grabbing my wrist?

Then can I hold your hand?

Mr. Lee Dae-chan, you're a real player.

"Lee Dae-chan."

It's been such a long time hearing my full name like that.

Jin-myung. Bring the soju, quick.

Soju.

It's been a long time since I last visited your office.

Everything's the same, right?

Dad, is there something going on?

No. Why do you ask?

You suddenly asked me for a room.

You've never asked me that before.

I have to meet a VIP,

but there are eyes watching us.

-You're okay, right? -It's something important,

but nothing to worry about. Don't worry.

That's good to hear.

Shall we get going then?

-Bye, then. -Bye.

Your daughter is the CEO here, isn't she?

Yes.

From how you asked me to meet you here,

I'm guessing this is about a sensitive topic.

Mr. Lee.

How about

you merge with our party?

I must say, this is quite sudden.

May I ask why?

Well, neither our party nor yours stand a fair chance

in the next election all on our own.

So are you asking our party

to gather votes for yours?

No.

I want us to combine strengths.

I'm not sure.

I will never be running for president.

I will make my conditions clear,

but please keep this confidential until the merger.

I will step down from candidacy

and support you instead.

Why are you making such an offer?

I won't be able to run for presidency anyway.

Hence I'm asking you to protect our party.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

My only condition for this merger is

that our party's policy line remains unchanged.

President Jung, what is this all about?

Convince the directors on Ms. Cha's side

so I can be elected as co-CEO.

In the end...

you're just like your mother.

Uncle.

I don't even deserve to be a board member here.

Why do you think I quit my calling as a teacher

and came here instead?

Guilt.

The guilt of having convinced Soo-hyun to marry you.

I thought the least I could do

was to protect Soo-hyun from your mother.

It's not your fault.

No. Assemblyman Cha

gave Soo-hyun to you because he trusted me.

I told him you'd be different.

That you're not like your parents.

That you'd treasure and look after Soo-hyun.

But what happened?

It's not just our family who cut ties.

Ever since then, I haven't been able to meet him.

I felt too ashamed to meet him.

I need to make it into Donghwa Hotel.

Please help me.

It's been a while since I attended a board meeting,

but I should definitely attend the upcoming board meeting.

Don't even dream about it.

Don’t you know...

what this hotel means to President Cha?

It's on me tonight!

Hey, come on. Let's just have some bindaetteok.

Let's just stay here and eat sashimi.

My face went puffy because I haven't had it in so long.

Your face has always been a full moon.

Nice try with the sashimi.

Gosh, why won't you let me spend some money?

Hey, Jin-hyuk! He's the guy.

Say hello. This is…

I'm Soo-hyun's father.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Kim Jin-hyuk.

I work in the PR department.

We're going for some bindaetteok. Do you want to join?

I love bindaetteok,

but I'm still working right now.

Okay then.

Let's have dinner next time.

Sure. I'll be there whenever you'll have me.

Okay.

I wonder how cold it'll be on the way home.

-Jin-hyuk. -Yes?

How about a drink?

I need to buy a gift for my mom's birthday.

-Next week-- -Listen.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring, let alone next week?

We should treasure this very day.

So clingy.

Do you listen to every word I say at work?

Aren't you going home, Mr. Lee?

Mr. Lee.

-Yes? -Is something up?

You seem to be down.

It's nothing. I think I'm coming down with a cold.

If it's for your mother, how about something like this?

She doesn't like things that are too flashy.

-I'll take that one. -Sure.

Every morning when I wake up,

I wonder if you're still in my life...

and hope last night wasn't a dream.

I check and re-confirm,

become relieved,

only to get scared again.

I get scared you might disappear.

Make sure to bring your camera.

I'm going to check whether you practiced or not.

Have you been working on your photography?

Yes, but it's really hard.

Come on. First, the exposure.

Next, the sky and trees.

Okay.

-Set the exposure. -Right.

You even look so pretty when you take photos.

This time, I'll take a photo of you.

Me?

You look beautiful right now.

So beautiful.

You look pretty in every angle.

Lean against that tree over there. Like this.

Like this?

But that's too funny.

Stay like that.

Beautiful.

Let's take a photo of our feet.

-Our feet? -Yes.

One, two, three.

When we first met in Cuba…

I mean, the day of that accident.

The day when your camera broke, and you were sad?

Right, that day.

What about that day?

Do you remember the book I was reading?

I remember the book you were reading at the airport.

Yes, it's the same one.

There are also redwood trees in the book's setting.

The poet from the book

writes a letter to his loved one,

and buries it under a redwood tree.

Later, his teacher learns this and retrieves it from under the tree.

He wanted to pass it on his behalf because the poet had died before he could,

but that's where the book ends.

Every time I read it, I wonder.

"What could have been written there?"

Something along the lines of, "I learned about love through books,

but now it's clear to me."

My gosh.

But why did this poet

bury his letter under the tree and not give it to her directly?

Did they break up?

He was terminally ill.

Now you totally killed it.

That's a sad ending.

How is it a sad ending?

Love doesn't go away just because you do.

That's what true love is.

You brought me out for fresh air, but what's with the sad story?

I suddenly feel so down.

Well, that's not good.

I'm supposed to be cheering you up.

What's this?

Now do you feel much better?

Much better.

It's so pretty.

I'll upgrade them once a year for you.

That's nonsense. I can't get a new ring every year.

Because it's far off from what you normally wear.

It is, yes.

Because this is the prettiest one!

You…

fill me up completely.

Unlike those friends who were dear to you,

I can't ever distance myself or disappear from your sight.

Because it's all you inside of me.

You see…

until that very day you close your eyes,

I'll always be there by your side.

I'll slowly do everything for you.

I'm excited.

Shall we take a photo to remember this moment?

MATCHING RINGS

How could Jin-hyuk forget,

of all people?

He's never forgotten our family's birthdays.

This is so disappointing.

-What's disappointing? -Goodness.

You're back already?

It only takes me a while to put up the closed sign.

We're closing today?

Why? Are you feeling unwell?

Jin-hyuk asked us to come to the hotel he's working at.

He wants to have lunch.

-Why all of a sudden? -It's probably for your birthday.

Gosh, he's so great.

-Right, honey? -Pack some clothes.

-We won't be coming home. -Why won't we be coming home?

He says to stay the night at the hotel.

He got those vouchers.

It's thanks to that magazine article.

He could've used it himself.

But when would he ever use it?

Unless he was with us.

-Hey. -What?

You know what day it is today, right?

Of course.

It's Dad's birthday!

You just stay home and eat ramyeon.

Because we're going out.

My gosh, it's useless to raise kids.

Should I make two servings?

-You think this is funny? -Yes.

Happy birthday, Jang-soo

Why, you little punk.

Ms. Kim, it's time for our lunch meeting.

Oh, okay.

My family's coming today.

Do you want to join us for lunch?

No, thanks. Have a nice time with your family.

How about we eat at the restaurant and split the bill?

-You know, the Italian place. -Sounds good.

Why not split the bill and order kung pao chicken?

We never get along.

I have a lunch date with my parents.

Please excuse me then.

Hye-in, how about pasta for lunch?

-Sounds good. -How about kung pao chicken?

-How's pasta? -No, kung pao chicken.

Even the elevator looks so elegant.

Right, honey?

Lower your voice. People will know it's our first time.

Of course they'll know. I mean, this is our first time.

What pretty flowers.

Was it on the 13th floor?

What was the name of the restaurant?

It's in English, right?

I'm sure they'll know if we ask where the Italian restaurant is.

Are you going to Piace Resto?

Pi…

-Yes. -Yes.

It's on the 13th floor. It'll be on your right.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

This is Jin-hyuk in this picture, right?

It's probably someone who looks like him.

Mom.

-Jin-hyuk. -Hey.

Jin-hyuk!

Mom, happy birthday.

-Were you disappointed this morning? -Well, just a little.

Must you all tease your mother like this?

Oh, my family!

Are you all good?

You never make a quiet entrance.

Let's go. I'm hungry.

Let's go.

-Is it good? -Very.

-Mom. -Yes?

Oh, sweetie.

We're already eating at a hotel. You really didn't need to.

"You really didn't have to buy anything."

She always says that with a smile.

That's probably your only gift,

so take it and say thank you.

I didn't expect anything from Jin-myung, but what about you?

Come on.

-Jin-myung and I bought it together. -He's right.

Well, I don't believe that.

What?

Gosh, this is beautiful.

Oh, my goodness.

Does it look good on me, Jin-hyuk? Does it?

-We got it for you together. -Yes.

You haven't even gotten paid yet,

so, what's that about getting this together?

I asked Dae-chan to pay me a bit earlier.

Please excuse me.

This is from our CEO.

Here's some wine to go with your meal.

Wine?

Thank you, sir.

She also asked me to make sure

you have all access to our facilities.

Gosh, that's great!

You guys will be staying the night.

Do you have a sky lounge?

Yes, and it has a great night view.

I'll make a reservation for you at the bar and show you the way.

Gosh, you don't have to.

We'll only ruin the mood

-if we're there. -What are you talking about?

Thank you for the wine.

Please thank her for us.

I will.

Would you like to taste the wine?

What? Test?

I'll prepare it for you.

It's your first time having wine, right?

Come on.

Wine is no different from grape juice.

You're absolutely right.

Come in.

I did as I was instructed, Ms. Cha.

Thank you.

But they refused the other services.

They said the wine was more than enough.

Oh, really?

Thank you.

Well, it looks like they'll be staying the night.

Should I upgrade their room?

No, I think they might find that uncomfortable too.

Please just make sure they're well-looked after.

Okay. I'll be off now.

Let's have dinner next time.

Sure. I'll be there whenever you'll have me.

You had a call from Director Choi, sir.

The shares have been acquired.

Will you really proceed with it, sir?

Yes, I want to try...

becoming the CEO of Donghwa Hotel.

But not with Taegyeong's funds. Buy them with my private funds.

Yes, sir.

And…

Keep an eye on Director Choi.

Yes, sir.

Jin-hyuk booked us such a nice room.

Honey, look at the view.

Isn't it great?

Honey. Honey?

-Yes? -What's on your mind?

It's so tiring to have fun.

Honey.

I feel a bit uneasy.

About what?

About Jin-hyuk and that CEO.

I think there's something between them.

It's your son's life. Let him be.

But they're not for each other.

Jin-hyuk is handsome, and the CEO's a beauty.

What's wrong with them?

But she owns this luxurious hotel.

Hey, I own Jang-soo Fruits.

Get some rest.

I'm going to get some fresh air.

Where to? You don't even know the area.

I'll be back soon. Do you want anything?

No, I'm full.

-But be back soon, okay? -Okay.

Excuse me, sir.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Thank you so much for today.

It made me really happy.

I hope the wine was to their taste.

Should I have sent some rice wine instead?

No, my dad loved it.

He almost had the whole bottle to himself.

I'm relieved.

Your family seemed so close.

You have something that our family doesn't.

Please, don't pity yourself.

Why do you think that?

But it's true.

Your mother looked very kind.

What about my dad?

I only had a brief glimpse,

but I feel like he might be a bit taciturn.

You're exactly right. I guess others also see him that way.

Are you going home?

Yes.

It's been such a long time since I've gone back to an empty house.

But you always go home to an empty house, don't you?

It must be lonely.

Not really.

Should I come over?

Let's talk later. I think someone's here.

Okay.

Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk.

Gosh, I never thought I'd come here.

I have no connections to this place.

I was going to call you and ask if we could meet,

but I got lucky.

Why did you want to meet?

Because of...

my woman…

whom I fell for at first sight...

and whom I'm still in love with.

What is it?

I'm ready to endure all kinds of hardships to protect her.

I won't run away.

Now that it's come to this,

all there's left to settle is the hotel.

Thanks to you,

I don't remember what fear is anymore.

What's bothering you when I'm being so good here?

You're making me upset.

Your courage and my desperation.

One will end in vain.

I'm going to protect her in my own way.
