President Cha is here.

Invite her in. Don't just stand there.

Come on in.

Come in.

Thank you for inviting me. I hope I'm not intruding.

It's only dinner, so make yourself comfortable.

I wasn't sure what would be appropriate.

Gosh, you didn't need to.

I didn't even cook anything special.

This way.

Sure.

Oh, gosh. Rice. I should bring rice.

Where's the rice?

President Cha's car has arrived.

-President Cha! -Please look here!

-President Cha! -President Cha!

-She's coming out. -Ms. Cha!

-Ms. Cha! -President Cha!

-President Cha! -President Cha!

Please look over here!

-Ms… -What? Who's that?

President Cha has another engagement and cannot attend tonight.

I came to pass on her message.

All right. I'll let President Kim know.

Okay. Bye, then.

I love how this tastes.

Your braised kimchi is the best, Mrs. Kim.

-Ms. Cha, isn't it good? -Yes.

It's so good, Mrs. Kim.

Goodness, I'm relieved to hear that.

Please, have some more.

You can speak comfortably.

Goodness.

Speak comfortably? Then should we all stop using honorifics?

-To break the ice! -Just eat.

Okay, I guess not.

My goodness, this is bad.

I think I might have another bowl of rice.

Did you also make these pickled plums?

Yes, I made them this spring,

and they were a great success this year.

You even made all of these?

That's so admirable.

My goodness, it's nothing.

My mom makes great fruit preservatives too.

She only makes them to use up leftover fruits.

Doesn't Dae-chan need help? You're done, right?

He's fine without me, so I'm going to eat another bowl.

Eat up.

Why are you so quiet, Dad? Putting on airs, are you?

I'm not putting on airs.

Goodness, you punk.

Eat up.

-Dig in. -Okay.

The braised ribs are delicious.

I bet it's like this every day, right?

I bet it's always fun and relaxing at your place.

No.

It can get scary when my parents have a fight.

I can't imagine that.

Jin-hyuk.

Did you tell me dinner was called off because you didn't want to trouble me?

If I were you,

I would've told you not to go to Taegyeong's event.

I wouldn't have been so considerate.

Let's be honest. It bothered you, didn't it?

You see,

no matter where you go or whom you meet,

it doesn't bother me.

Everything that's happened in your past

all has a meaning and happened for a reason.

Because I know you care about me

no matter where you are and what you do.

Right?

-I was a bit awkward, wasn't I? -What?

I hope your parents didn't feel uncomfortable.

Nonsense.

You must not know what it means to be awkward.

You blended in perfectly.

I was quite surprised, you know.

Really?

"Wow, you even made all these?"

-Stop it. -"It's so delicious, Mrs. Kim."

Stop that. When was I ever like that?

"That's so admirable."

-Stop it. -"Stop it."

-Hey, don't. -"Hey, don't."

I'll leave you to rest.

Your late father must be...

very disappointed.

Hey, that's salty.

Have it with some rice or water at least.

There's no space for that in my stomach. I haven't had homemade food in ages.

Slow down.

Hey, you're here.

Did you see her off?

Of course.

So now that you've officially introduced her to your family,

does that mean things are moving forward?

He had the biggest smile on his face today.

-Are you that happy? -Yes, I am.

This is too spicy. I'll go microwave some rice.

I told you to eat it with rice.

You know what? About my future sister-in-law…

Hey, come on.

Fine. Ms. Cha.

I was worried whether she'd get along with our family.

-Really? -Yes.

But after seeing her with our family, it wasn't so bad.

I hope Mom and Dad think so too.

Please.

Just focus on your relationship.

-I'm just worried. -About what?

Dad came to my workplace once.

And what did he say?

-He asked if we'd be okay. -I see.

I asked him to trust me.

Good for you.

What about Mom?

Well, as for Mom…

I'm not too sure.

She seemed pretty shocked tonight.

It kind of feels like

the calm before a storm.

-Gosh. -So I'm scared to ask her anything.

-Should I sound her out? -It's okay.

I should talk to her myself.

-What about you? -What?

Do your friends bother you about it?

My gosh.

Don't let the little things get to you.

Besides, you made this decision.

Stop worrying about other people.

So tell me.

When are you getting married?

Oh, please.

-Why am I talking to you? -What?

Filing for marriage is the final stage of any relationship.

Jin-hyuk!

You're going to register your marriage?

My gosh, you two make a great team. Good luck on the whelks.

-My gosh. -Goodness.

I haven't had homemade food in so long.

-Hey, it's hot. -Do you want some?

-My mom's braised kimchi is amazing. -It's the best.

I begged her, but look what she did.

Look at this article.

Everyone's talking about

how this is the end of your long alliance with Taegyeong.

Just sit down. Let's have breakfast.

Why bring up something that's all in the past?

You enjoy your meal.

I understand I've disappointed you.

No, I understand your situation.

Thank you.

I wanted to see you today to talk about Soo-hyun.

I understand the board will be voting on her re-appointment soon.

Yes, that's right.

See if you can convince the board.

Let's take this opportunity to have her step down

and have President Jung Woo-seok get appointed as the sole CEO.

But we can't guarantee

that we have enough numbers on our side to win the vote.

It's all been taken care of.

Just call up the board.

Yes, ma'am. I'll proceed with it, then.

I want our legal team

to go ahead with taking back Donghwa Hotel right now.

Assembly Cha Jong-hyun is no longer a person of our interest.

So I want Donghwa Hotel back

no matter what.

There were many that were of the same model,

but it took some time finding one manufactured in the same year.

I can see it was tough. Thank you.

By the way, will Assemblyman Cha be all right?

I feel like Taegyeong will try to mess with you both.

They will really proceed with that lawsuit over Donghwa now, right?

That's what they live for, so don't mind them.

Okay.

Will this wedding shoot campaign be available offline as well?

It'll only be on our second quarterly issue

and a top-tier magazine.

Let's get some nice shots.

People should feel desperate to get married at our hotel.

Yes, Ms. Kim.

And how many wedding planners have we cut down to?

Based on the criteria you suggested, I've narrowed it down to three.

Then let's go with

the one that has the most experience with hotel weddings.

Yes, ma'am.

Once spring is here,

there will be a wave of weddings,

which means my wallet is going to get emptied.

Do you go to all your friends' weddings?

Yes, just in case.

If no one turns up for mine, people will doubt my character.

I just think of it as an investment.

Who was in charge

of that modeling agency last time?

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee?

-Yes? -Were you in charge of…

Actually, never mind.

Mr. Park can be in charge.

You don't seem okay these days,

and we can't afford any mistakes.

No, I'll just proceed with it.

-Will you be okay? -Yes.

Okay, then.

We'll discuss the wedding concept with our photographer and wedding planner.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

This is the wedding planner.

Dad, I caused big trouble.

What should I do? I feel so bad.

No, well done.

I've been learning from you recently.

There's not much time until the election.

Soo-hyun.

It's too early to explain everything,

so I've been keeping quiet.

But from now on,

don't be surprised by whatever step I take as a politician.

And don't even think of blaming yourself for it.

What do you mean?

I'm saying it's time we really live our lives.

You live your life in happiness,

and I'll live mine too.

SOO-HYUN

SOO-HYUN

Did the camera break?

This one came from Jeonju.

What? Jeonju?

It took some effort

to find the same camera that was manufactured in the same year.

It's even the same model, you know.

I'm proud of myself.

Are you serious?

You should have it confirmed by an expert. Wait right there.

I'll go see it in person.

I'll show you at work tomorrow.

That's so cruel.

It's like a dad coming home with a gift

and telling his son to play with it tomorrow.

The poor kid won't be able to sleep.

I never said it was for you.

What will you do with two cameras that are exactly the same?

Gosh, why do you keep teasing me?

Because it's so fun to see your reactions.

Okay, fine.

You must want to see it really badly.

Do you think it's the camera I want to see,

or you, Soo-hyun?

Where are you?

-At the office. -Still?

I see you're working overtime.

Then I should go and cheer you up as your CEO.

Then I'll wait.

TRIPE

They're perfectly cooked.

Try it with some sauce.

A million good things have come my way since I met you,

and one of them is these mysterious experiences.

"Mysterious"?

Chicken feet, chicken gizzards, and beef tripe.

They're all so new to me.

But you have to agree you've come to like all of them, right?

You need to know something.

I'm actually really picky with food,

but whatever you suggest,

I never refuse and finish everything.

I agree.

I love you for that.

Here, eat up.

Now show me.

Is there no round two for tripes?

Are you sure you can eat more?

This is my first meal today.

-Can we have some rice, please? -Sure.

Fried rice is the best for round two.

Can I see it before the rice gets here?

You're being so mean.

I don't want it to get oily.

This is amazing.

I know it looks the same because they're the same model.

But this feels really weird.

Maybe because this captures feelings.

Probably because it comes with my sincerity.

I bet it took a lot of effort to find this.

Where did you find it?

Yes, it was a struggle. I'll tell you more next time.

I'll just ask your secretary next time.

Aren't you going to fry the rice?

I thought you wanted to see me, not the camera.

Do you like to sprinkle laver on top?

Gosh.

-This much? -A little more.

Okay.

That's enough.

Eat up.

Who did you say the number belongs to?

Mr. Lee Jin-ho?

Yes.

I checked the number Mr. Nam gave to me,

and it was Mr. Lee from the PR department.

Should I ask him to come?

No, let him be.

But we have evidence--

We shouldn't be hasty.

Thank you.

Sure.

How about a cup of tea?

It's green tea flavor.

It's kind of like drinking tea.

Are you sure it's not from Mr. Park again?

He has a sweet tooth, so he hates green tea flavored stuff.

Open up.

I came to consult something serious,

but with candy in my mouth, it doesn't feel so serious anymore.

Still, tell me.

If you don't,

it'll be on my mind all afternoon instead of work.

I should tell Ms. Kim

that you're daydreaming instead of focusing on work.

Gosh, you were the one who called me out here.

Okay, fine.

Okay, let's say

someone did something terrible to me,

and that gave me great distress.

And now, I found out who did it.

What do you think I should do?

If I were you, I'd forgive that person if he or she apologizes.

Everyone falls to temptation at least once.

I'm not surprised you said that since you're such a broad-minded person.

It's just easier to forgive them if they apologize.

Because once you do,

it'll be hell for that person, not you.

Why did I stress over it all morning?

What were you stressing over?

By any chance,

do I owe you an apology?

Hey, what's with this atmosphere?

You're trying to make me guess what I did wrong, aren't you?

Did you do something bad?

No, that's why I'm scared.

-Probably because you did something. -No.

Okay, I'll be honest.

I do feel bad about thinking of you all morning instead of work.

If that's something to apologize for, I will.

Or just tell Ms. Kim.

That makes you the employee of the month.

Then does that mean

I get a reward?

Well done.

No, not that.

Then what?

Something like this.

Gosh.

I can tell it's you. You don't need to raise your hand.

You work at a nice place.

-Why are you here? -What?

Well, I was just passing by.

-Let's go have lunch. -I already ate.

What? Why did you eat lunch so early?

Then let's grab coffee.

My goodness.

Ta-da!

Did you have business nearby?

What? No, what business would I have nearby?

I sell whelks for a living.

I just came to check out your workplace.

You often come to mine.

Stop calling it a workplace.

It's a hotel.

Okay, sorry.

Well, we're both in the service industry.

My gosh.

I missed you.

You haven't visited in a while.

Your heart skipped a beat just now, right?

Talk about a smooth line.

Here. This is for you.

-What on earth is this? -My heart.

But this is so pretty! I can't eat this.

Anyway, drop by often after work.

Let me see you often.

My goodness.

It's so good.

Gosh, be honest with me. You didn't eat lunch, did you?

I rarely eat lunch.

You'll ruin your stomach.

Next time, I'll pack a lunchbox for you.

You really know what girls like, don't you?

I wonder what your favorite side dish is.

Have you decided how you'll go about it?

I'll have to see what he's thinking.

Do you want me to come with you?

Some guys become dangerous when they're cornered.

What is it that you want, President Cha?

I don't have much interest in you, Mr. Lee.

I'm only interested in the mastermind behind the incident.

What would you...

like me to do?

To expose the full story, of course.

I won't have our legal team take action

or force you to resign.

However,

I'm hoping that you'll step up

and reveal the full story.

Come to the board meeting and expose the truth.

After that...

go to Cuba.

I'm going to transfer you to Cuba.

Why…

Why me?

I want you to go there

so you can learn for yourself just how valuable that hotel is

for Donghwa's future.

Why have you chosen...

not to report me?

Because everyone...

falls to temptation at least once.

I'm Kim Jin-hyuk. I'm in charge of this project.

Ms. Kim, may I have a word?

Our photographer suddenly

got taken to the ER because of a stomachache.

What did he have for lunch?

We're all set up to go, and he's in the ER?

Should I just take the photographs today?

We'll have to postpone the shoot.

But we need to shoot today

in order to make the magazine's deadline.

The photographer will be on Jeju Island next week.

If you look here…

Actually,

why don't we ask Jin-hyuk to take the photos?

Forget it.

If someone has to do it, I will.

This is no time to joke.

Jin-hyuk takes good photos, Ms. Kim. He started in elementary school.

He set the concept for today's shoot,

so I think it'll work.

Very good.

That was very good.

Can you step a bit closer?

Very good.

Very good, yes.

Yes, very good.

Okay.

-Are they doing a shoot? -Very good.

Let me go see if there's a celebrity.

Good.

Now smile for me.

Yes, I want a bigger smile.

I want you closer together. Good.

It's Mr. Kim. You should see this. It's Mr. Kim.

Just a little more.

Very good. Yes, that's very nice.

Great.

Now look down. Okay.

That's very good. Now face each other.

I wish we could

fall asleep together like this every night.

Do you think

we'll get to do that one day?

What's going on?

Where's your answer?

I was just thinking how nice that would be.

Wait a minute.

Why is Mr. Kim taking the pictures?

I think all brides look beautiful in a wedding dress.

But then again, some are definitely stunning.

You were really something in your wedding…

I'm sorry.

I only meant to say

you were stunning in your pictures.

-I love your pictures. -They're beautiful.

-Thank you. -Hye-in was right.

He used a nice camera.

My goodness.

-Just admit he's good. -The box goes first.

-It makes you look sour. -You're pathetic.

Be careful with that pot.

Excuse me. About this bouquet…

Were you working?

Yes. Have you had dinner?

No, I came to eat with you.

Oh, I have something to show you.

-Ta-da! -Hey, isn't this from the shoot?

That's right. You saw me take the pictures, right?

The photographer was taken to the ER,

so I had to take the photos instead.

I sweated so much.

You were very good.

Well, of course. I'm the--

The photographer of Hongje-dong, right?

Yes, that's right.

Isn't this pretty?

I asked if I could take it.

For me?

Yes.

Why?

Here. Hold it.

-But why? -So I can see.

While taking photos I kept thinking,

"I bet Soo-hyun would look more stunning.

I bet I'll get fired if I replace the model with her.

But I'd really love to try if I could."

That's all I could think of.

I brought it here for you, so do it for me.

You're so beautiful.

But that's all subjective.

Come to me…

just like this.

I just can't imagine it anymore.

Time spent without you…

no longer means anything to me.

Please be with me...

for a very, very long time.

What's this?

Why won't you answer me?

What?

You don't want to?

I should put these in the vase.

You should've gone home after work. You didn't need to come here.

This is like a workout.

Take it easy.

Has she said anything?

I mean, President Cha.

What did she think of dinner?

She loved it.

She asked if we're always so close and full of laughter.

She says she's envious.

I'm sure you know it already, but that requires great courage.

I was actually worried, you see.

I see the pictures of you and her,

and for some unknown reason, you got transferred to Sokcho.

When you were transferred,

I was pretty mad.

I didn't get why they'd send you there

as soon as you started working there.

It wasn't her decision.

I don't care.

But when she came to eat dinner with us, it took a lot off my mind.

What's that company again?

Taegyeong or whatever.

There was so much on the news about how she didn't show up.

She probably saw it coming, but she still came anyway.

That's why I'm so grateful.

And I feel bad for her.

I was frustrated when you asked me to support you two.

But now you have my full approval.

Thanks, Dad.

I was actually really worried.

I just love her so much,

and I can't imagine myself without her anymore.

But I was worried

you and Mom might disapprove.

So thanks a lot.

If you really mean that, pack up all the fruits for me.

I'll do them all.

JANG-SOO FRUITS

I'm home.

Oh, you're here.

What is it? Do you want something? Feeling hungry?

No.

You must be tired.

You should go to bed.

I have something to say.

Is it urgent? Because I'm a little tired right now.

You trust me, right, Mom?

Do you really have to ask?

Gosh, I'm really tired today.

Should I give you a massage?

No, I'm sure you're more tired than I am.

Go wash up and go to bed.

I should also go to bed early tonight.

It's D-Day.

What do you expect the outcome of the votes to be?

Knowing it already would be corruption.

But we all know what to expect to some level.

Some directors have already said they want to congratulate you.

I'd like to know their names.

You'll meet them anyway when you are congratulated.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here today.

I'd like to go over a few guidelines before we start voting

on President Cha's re-appointment…

Before that, there is an urgent agenda we must address.

How about we discuss that after the voting?

It won't take too long.

Please come in.

First of all,

I'd like to offer my apology.

I was blinded by temptation

and made a grave mistake.

Regarding the Cuba incident,

I was the one who convinced Mr. Kim Jin-tae.

I told him to send the email that could ruin the project

and hand in a resignation letter.

Why did you do such a thing?

It was under the orders of Director Choi Jin-cheol.

-What? Don't tell me… -Director Choi.

This was your doing?

Therefore, I would like...

to demand an apology from Director Choi.

If you admit your wrongdoings

and offer me your heartfelt apology,

I will just end it here.

Do you think this was my own doing, Ms. Cha?

I'm giving you a chance.

If Mr. Lee was under my orders,

whose orders do you think I was under?

Is it so hard to offer me

a heartfelt apology?

I am...

a mere employee.

An employee that works for whom?

I'll leave it up to President Jung

and all you board members

to decide how to deal with Director Choi.

Please let me know the results regarding the other agenda.

This happened before my appointment,

so you guys can decide.

As for President Cha's re-appointment,

we should leave it for some other time.

We tried to keep it quiet, but rumors have spread.

What's Mr. Lee going to do now?

I noticed how haggard he was this morning.

I guess he's been having a hard time too.

President Cha is something.

I would've fired him on the spot,

but instead, she sends him to Cuba.

Let's say someone did something terrible to me,

and that gave me great distress.

And now, I found out who did it.

What do you think I should do?

What do you think will happen to Director Choi?

I have no idea.

Let's go back inside.

I thought I'd be here longer than you at least.

It's funny how the world works.

But don't be fooled into thinking

that my retreat will end this war.

I hate him to the very end.

Let's go.

Can I see you for a second?

Please make some time this evening.

Why are you so sure that I'll be free this evening?

You're not?

I'm free. What is it?

-Let's have dinner. -Sure, where?

-At my place. -Okay.

Then what would you like to have, President Cha?

Just come.

I'm thinking of cooking myself tonight.

-What? -Invite Mr. Nam for me too.

I have to say thanks for helping so much with this case.

Why don't we just eat out?

Come around 8:00 p.m.

I came because I haven't seen you around and got worried.

You love pumpkin pancakes, right?

Gosh, it looks delicious.

I was actually feeling hungry. Thank you for this.

Wow, that's nice and crisp.

I can never do it so well like this.

Hey, Mrs. Kim.

Can you get a job for my son at that hotel?

Please, I'm begging you.

I mean…

Why are you asking me for help?

Let's be honest.

Your son probably got a job there easily

because he's intimate with the CEO.

Then what number can I call

to reach the CEO's office?

I'm sorry.

That's not something we can help you with.

Can I help you with anything else?

No, it's fine.

My goodness. Soo-hyun, you're a really good cook.

That's unexpected.

You can go rest on the sofa. I bet you're exhausted.

No.

All I did was get the ingredients for you. It's you who must be exhausted.

Not yet.

We cooked together, and now we're setting the table together.

This feels new.

I can't believe you're also a great cook. You're too perfect.

When did you learn all this?

They should be here soon.

I'll call and check…

Thank you, Mr. Nam.

I settled things thanks to you.

My goodness, I didn't even do much.

Good job for me, right?

Yes, thank you.

I guess you really were a journalist.

You're finally going to believe me?

I tend to get suspicious easily.

There.

Jin-hyuk, did you cook too?

I only cut up the ingredients.

That's the hardest part.

That's just how it is.

You start by peeling the onions as a kitchen hand.

-With tears in your eyes. -You're both so caring.

"You did all the hard work."

"But you did all the tedious work." My gosh.

I said we should get takeaway.

This has always been my wish.

You call this a wish?

Having fermented bean stew? Playing restaurant?

This is more like fine dining.

Sure. I hope you guys live happily ever after.

If you're jealous, find a guy and get married.

Let's just eat.

Thank you for the food.

Let's see.

This is pretty good.

But don't you think her wish is too small?

I don't think it's small at all.

This has always been hard for me.

You mean the cooking, or us?

Cooking for the people I care for

and having dinner with them.

That's always been hard for me.

So can't I wish for it?

To be honest, I was a bit upset.

Why? About what?

It's my first time coming here since Ms. Cha moved.

It's not like she moved yesterday. It's been years.

It took her years to invite me, so it's natural I'm upset, right?

I don't think I would've been that disappointed.

What do you expect?

You should've asked me instead.

I totally understand. I should've invited you earlier.

So please enjoy yourself today and forgive me.

But, you know,

I thought this day would never come. This is nice.

Ms. Cha, you've changed so much. Take it slow.

You think she's changed?

She's returning to how she used to be.

Don't invite me with Mr. Nam.

He nags too much.

By the way, aren't you dressed too casually?

Well, we're eating at home.

Don't people dress casually

when they eat at home?

I want something I can get changed into, then.

I'll give it to you later. Eat first.

Do you have clothes for Mr. Nam?

Hey, how would I be comfortable in her clothes?

This is nice.

By the way, are you sure Ms. Cha is busy with work?

Dae-chan asked Ms. Jang to fill in for me today.

Are you going somewhere?

Next door.

The mandarin preserves were a great success.

-Come in, Mrs. Kim. -No, it's okay.

I have to get going soon.

Goodness.

-Hey, Dae-chan. -Yes?

Could you pass this onto that secretary?

-Oh, you mean Ms. Jang? -Yes.

But what is it?

Ask her to pass it onto President Cha.

-President Cha? -Yes.

And…

Don't tell Jin-hyuk or Jin-myung about this, okay?

Oh, sure. I won't.

-It's cold. Go back in. -Sure.

CHAN'S WHELKS

-Give it to me. I'll do it. -I'm already done.

So many things happened today.

I'm exhausted.

This feels like my spot too.

The entire place feels like home now.

Your room looked much more comfortable to me.

It's cozy.

It's also not that bad.

It's small, so we'd be forced to stick close.

We're not that far apart from each other now.

Do you know how busy I am trying to stay within a 10-cm radius?

I do, yes.

You even came early today to help me out.

You're so reliable.

If I am,

why won't you give me your answer?

About what?

I…

asked you to be with me for a very, very long time.

But you haven't given me an answer.

I'm pretty good at cooking Italian food.

See? You're changing the subject again.

I also cook great Chinese

and some Japanese.

I learned them all...

when I was part of Taegyeong.

So what?

It's nice that you're a good cook.

Jin-hyuk.

Ever since I visited your place,

I've been dreaming.

That I also want to be

a part of that happy home.

That will happen.

But some things keep holding me back.

My memories,

and my past.

I, too, dream about

holding a beautiful bouquet like that

and standing before you.

But…

I'm not sure

if it's okay to dream of that.

I feel like I'm being too greedy.

And that makes me hesitant.

I once...

met this woman in Cuba.

I didn't know her name

or who she was.

But…

on the first day I met her, I thought...

"I wonder

if she has a boyfriend.

I hope she doesn't."

To me, Cha Soo-hyun is...

the woman I met that day.

Someone who left me...

with a great impression for the first time ever.

To me, your past doesn't matter all that much.

Because it's you that I'm in love with.

"I want to spend...

every day of my life with her."

Every day, I hope for the same thing.

Do you really think we can do that?

Will you do that for me?

Please do that for me.

Can you preserve these flowers for me?

Preserve…

What is that?

It's something they do to preserve the flowers

by treating them with some special liquid.

Oh, sure. I think I've heard of it before.

Give them to me, then.

What is that?

Oh, Mr. Kim's mother

asked me to pass it onto you.

I didn't receive it directly.

The owner of that whelk shop passed it onto me.

I see.

I'm sorry to contact you out of the blue like this.

I want to see you, but there was no way to get in touch.

Please call me on this number.

I apologize for this. I'm sure you're busy.

I'm sorry I reached out to you like that.

You must've been surprised.

No, thank you for the mandarin preserves.

Thank you.

Sure.

You see...

I'm not good at beating around the bush.

You can speak comfortably.

President Cha.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

But, please...

end it with Jin-hyuk.

My neighbor came to visit me,

and she asked me to get a job for her son at Donghwa.

It was obviously an absurd thing to ask, so I told her to leave.

But apparently, this is what our neighbors say.

They say that Jin-hyuk

didn't get that job with his own efforts.

They think he got hired because

he's intimate with the CEO.

But we both know that's not how he got the job, right?

It's such an obvious fact,

but now we have to explain everything.

President Cha.

It hurts you to hear this too, right?

You see,

all I wish is for our family

to live quietly and happily like we always have.

Besides, it's not like someone so high up like you...

will ever marry Jin-hyuk.

Not all relationships lead to marriage.

But, President Cha,

you…

and Jin-hyuk are very different.

I'm very lacking in many ways.

And this has been

gnawing at my heart.

I'm worried my son will end up hurt

and be left to deal with the rumors surrounding him.

You see,

I'm just too scared.

President Cha.

I'm sorry. I really am.

But, please…

Please break up with Jin-hyuk for me.

I just can't imagine my life

without you anymore.

Please be with me

for a very, very long time.

I love you,

Soo-hyun.

President Cha means a lot to me.

How long will these flowers last without wilting?

What? I'm just jealous.

This isn't because of you, so don't get any wrong ideas.

If your family's day-to-day life and happiness

gets shaken up because of me,

that would mean it's hopeless.

Thanks to you, Woo-seok, now I know

how to bid farewell when I have to.
