Were you already aware of his illness?

JANGIN CHEMICALS PRESS CONFERENCE

I'm President Lee Geon of Jangin Chemicals.

Taxi!

Taxi, please!

Over here!

First of all, the speculations about my genetic illness are true.

However, the malicious rumors regarding the illness are not.

I understand the concerns of the shareholders

regarding my ability to continue leading this company,

therefore I am now stepping down as President of Jangin Chemicals.

I apologize to those who were concerned about my illness.

Lee Geon!

I know everything now.

I know why you lied to me

and why you pushed me away and left me.

Look here, Ms. Ellie Kim.

You are interrupting my press conference.

Look into my eyes if you're not lying to me.

Tell me that you've never missed me

and that I mean nothing in your life.

Mr. Tak!

Yes, sir!

Take that woman away.

What are you waiting for?

Tell me now.

If you admit that you can live without me,

I'll really let you go.

Yes.

I lied.

Because when you're in pain, it's also painful for me.

That's why I lied!

How could you be so foolish?

What did you say?

Why are you assuming that I'd suffer?

Don't do that anymore.

Why do we have to be upset and cry about a disease

that isn't even here yet?

We'll cry and suffer when we get there.

Look here, Kim Mi-yeong.

Don't get confused.

Even if you know the truth now,

it will not change anything.

My illness won't go away.

And I...

I have no right to love you.

Why do you need a right to love?

I'm saying that it's alright.

That time-bomb...

We don't know when it will go off, but let's not cower from it already.

Whatever happens,

I won't allow you to suffer alone.

I love you.

It's room 2006 again.

Room 2006.

I thought we needed a quiet place to talk,

so I asked Mr. Tak to arrange this for us.

That was unbelievable. Do you realize where that was?

How did you find the courage

in front of all of those people.

Why did you have to be so cruel and push me away?

Mi-yeong.

This illness is no laughing matter.

I don't know when I'll lose all my memories of you

or get paralyzed again. It's like having a time-bomb inside of me

and how could I brazenly

ask you to stay with me?

Why not?

I'm fine with it.

Would you leave me if I had a time-bomb inside of me?

Nonsense!

What sort of question is that?

Whether it's the red wire, blue wire,

or rainbow-colored wire, I'd cut them all!

And if that doesn't work, I'd look at you one more time,

hold you tight, have our moments, and get blown up together!

How can you ask such a...

See?

You wouldn't leave me either.

Yet why are you telling me to leave you?

Do you think I'm capable of that?

It's useless now.

No matter how much you push me away,

I'm not going anywhere.

It would be greedy of me to ask you to stay

when you're so kind...

and so silly.

Geon.

Greed is meant to be good.

They kissed at the press conference.

What's that?

Goodness, what's going on? She's lost her mind.

I think it's so romantic!

I think it's more like erotic.

Sure. They are on fire.

My goodness.

-How could they... -Gosh.

What is it?

I feel like I'm dreaming right now.

Listen carefully.

Do you see the doves? The doves!

They're doves.

I can see two flying over there. And another one is over there!

One's flying high over there!

Mi-yeong.

It's like a dream for me to sit here

and eat at the same table with you.

What are you doing? Is this your way of getting back at me?

Yes.

What?

This is for lying to me for three years,

for being cruel to me and for making me sad.

Okay, I deserve it. Your vengeance is justified.

Mi-yeong.

What about this side? You have to get back at this side too!

Vengeance!

Poke.

Poke!

So... Are we going to...

sleep together here tonight?

Here?

Together?

We should spend the night here.

Really?

Since we're already here, we'll have to pay for the room

whether we sleep here or not.

Yes!

Three years!

The past three years have made you extremely cool.

I guess we should finish our meal first.

Let's eat.

Mi-yeong.

Well...

We're here because you wanted to sleep together.

But our distance is too far apart.

You're too far from me.

I didn't want to waste money on the room.

Waste money?

Frugality?

You're prudent! Practical!

I was yawning.

I'm so tired. I should get some sleep.

-You are tired? -Yes, I'm tired.

So many things happened today.

-I'm tired too. -Let's sleep.

I'm going to sleep.

Mi-yeong, look at me.

Do you remember

what we did earlier?

-What we did? -Yes, that. What we did.

In English,

Yes, that.

There were too many people earlier,

-so I didn't realize what was going on. -It was quite hectic.

Maybe we should retry?

K, I, double S.

Shall we try again?

-Again? -Are you okay with that?

Mr. Tak!

You darned Mr. Tak!

It might be important, you should get that.

It's alright.

Okay, fine.

For now, we'll stop the beat!

Stay right there and don't move.

-Freeze until I get back. -Frozen!

-Freeze! -Frozen!

You better be frozen!

Freeze!

-President, it's an emergency. -What is it now?

Every possible emergency has already occurred!

You're in trouble now!

The love story between the two of you

has now swept through the nation.

People are coming up with funny nicknames of you two

referring to Romeo and Juliet.

What? People say that?

What do they mean by that?

They should come up with a better nickname!

Yes, sir. One other thing.

Chairwoman Wang had fainted,

but she woke up because she wanted to stay strong for you.

That's my grandmother.

The executive board is holding back on processing your resignation.

I guess you can say that it's now on hold.

I think we can attribute all this to your impeccable work

and your popularity amongst the public.

I can't stand my awesomeness. It just won't go away.

So are you planning to race along the Autobahn of Love with Madam?

Straight ahead, without a speed limit?

And with a kiss,

it's happily ever after?

Kiss? Hang up the phone already!

He's starting to chirp like a sparrow again.

Mi-yeong, I'm coming! I'm going to unfreeze you.

Mi-yeong.

Mi-yeong!

How could she have fallen asleep already?

Freeze.

You're it!

You're it.

My snail.

Where did you keep all that courage in such a small body?

Thank you.

Grandmother, I'll stay by Geon's side from now on.

-Mi-yeong. -Even if he eventually falls ill,

I won't let him suffer alone.

-I can't allow it. -Sorry?

I can't let you do this

now that we know his disease might relapse.

-Grandmother. -When I married his grandfather,

I didn't know about it.

And by the time I found out, I'd already loved him.

I have no regrets. We loved each other

and that was enough for me.

But the fallout from that could stay with you for a lifetime.

It was hard enough for me to go into it blindly,

but it'll be much harder for you since you already know about it.

Grandmother,

no matter what the hardship is,

I believe I can endure it as long as I'm by his side.

Please allow me to stay with him.

Shouldn't you get your mother's permission first before mine?

If that is what you want and you have your mother's blessing,

then I'll do as you wish.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Of course, he should be relieved.

He stepped down of his own accord.

Despite the memory loss that happened three years ago,

there has been no indication that he'll fall ill again.

And hasn't the company grown considerably

under his direction over the last three years?

-It definitely has. -That's true.

Nevertheless, his disease was not completely dormant.

We don't know when it will come back. We cannot allow him to lead our company.

Raise your hands if you vote to keep

President Lee Geon in his position.

Look at this. It's a majority vote, isn't it?

We haven't called an official vote nor have we voted at all,

and you dare try to push an agenda by making people raise their hands?

-There's procedure! -That's right!

-He is right. -It's almost meaningless.

-Everyone... -Listen.

Now! Enough of that.

It's like a battlefield here.

Why don't I see the same fiery passion in every meeting?

President Lee, shouldn't you follow through

with your decision at the press conference?

I will decide my own future.

As of today, I will be stepping down as President of Jangin Chemicals.

But...

only for the next three months.

-What kind of resignation is that? -I never said that I was resigning.

It's a break. A vacation.

I haven't had a decent rest since becoming President.

What?

That's nonsense!

Then why don't we carry out an open vote? I don't mind that.

Then who will be responsible for the company

during those three months?

Who do you think it'll be?

Who is it?

I've brought someone who everyone knows,

someone with extensive management experience.

Mr. Tak.

Yes.

Ever since I left my position, everyone has gotten lazy and talkative.

I'll show you how Jangin Chemicals had survived for over 50 years.

This place has changed a lot.

You're right.

It feels like only yesterday when I set this place up.

What's on your mind? Why did you want to meet here?

It seems like you have something serious to talk about.

Go on and tell me.

I'm ready for anything.

Thank you, Daniel.

If it wasn't for you,

I would never have discovered the truth.

I know, right?

Didn't I look cool making that sharp U-turn yesterday?

Thank you so much.

You've always stood by my side,

but I don't think I can do the same for you.

I'm really...

Really...

You're sorry?

You're feeling really bad about this, aren't you?

And you're regretting letting a guy like me go.

Yes.

You're right.

I'm probably going to regret it.

I have plenty of issues in my life too, so I was about to challenge him,

but I guess I can't beat him.

I think I'm too nice of a guy.

Maybe I should change myself into a bad guy.

I'll need some time to get over this, Mi-yeong.

We've been together for three years.

-It's hard to just say goodbye now. -I'm so sorry, Daniel.

If you keep saying that you are sorry, I can't bear to see you again.

It won't take long, okay?

Just give me some time alone.

Father,

I think I may be pregnant.

Excuse me.

Be strong!

Father, don't be nervous and be confident!

Be strong!

-It's a bit lower on that side. -Here?

-No. -Is it even now?

Okay. Done, perfect.

I feel like I have no secrets with you anymore.

But I'm comfortable with that.

I want to look after you.

Mi-yeong, will you become my real family?

No matter how much I hoped that you'd become my real family,

I guess some things aren't meant to be.

Hey, what's the matter?

What's with you?

Mom, what am I going to do?

I lost my wallet and couldn't find it all day.

-But it was in my bag all along. -So what?

Also, I looked all over the place for my phone

when I was listening to music on it.

Well, it happens. So what?

I think I'm coming down with the illness.

That's not an illness.

-You were simply being forgetful. -No.

It's an illness. I'm sure of it.

I'm a male in this family too, so it's entirely possible.

Yong, about that...

I have something to tell you.

Come here.

Chairwoman Wang.

Yong?

Dragon, what's the matter?

Yong!

I'll go after him.

What's wrong with Dragon?

We need to talk.

What is it you wanted to tell me?

I'm sorry about the press getting a hold of your illness.

I never meant for that to happen.

This is a first.

The absolute first time you ever apologized to me.

I may be a splinter in your eyes,

someone who brought hardship on your mother,

but you should pity me more than your mother.

What kind of nonsense is that?

What's this?

It's my miserable past.

I wanted to throw it away and forget about it,

but I couldn't abandon the memories.

Why are you giving this to me?

Let's say this is my gesture of apology for acting immaturely until now.

Yong!

Yong...

Are you okay?

I'm not your brother-in-law anymore.

What do you mean by that?

I just found out that

-I'm not of the Lee bloodline. -Who said that?

What am I going to do now?

I was so happy that I had a grandmother and brother.

I thought I finally could help Geon as his brother

and be acknowledged by Grandmother.

And you've been so nice to me like a real sister.

Mom said that I'm not a Lee.

-Yong... -I feel worse for Mom.

All her life, she kept it to herself. It must have been so hard.

You will always be my brother-in-law

no matter what.

Sister.

WIFE KIM MYEONG-SOOK SON LEE GEON

I've been fighting it,

but I've lost my memory again.

Honey.

My wife doesn't know my secret.

Please don't go. What about Geon and I?

Please.

Please don't go.

Honey.

I couldn't tell her that my illness has begun.

I didn't want the people I love to suffer and be in pain

Honey.

through their lives because of me.

I now have another person that I feel bad about.

-The woman who stays by my side. -Goodness.

I may not love her,

but at least I'd be able to provide them with a financially stable life.

Is this a dream or real?

-Although Yong isn't my son, -This is our home, Yong.

Are you happy?

I wanted to give him some love

that he never received from his own father.

My dear son.

Geon, my son.

I miss you so much today.

What are you doing here?

Mi-yeong, thank you.

Thank you for staying beside me...

even though...

I pushed you away like that.

I'm really thankful.

I'm more thankful.

Because you accepted my heart.

I never want to be apart from you again.

Let's always be together from now on.

Okay.

I don't want to miss another second with you.

Chairwoman Wang, I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Nothing shocks me anymore.

Starting today,

I want to live with Mi-yeong.

-This instant? -Yes, right now.

Do you not want to?

No. I can't allow it.

What? Why not?

Did you get permission from her mother?

-Not yet. -That's why.

As a parent myself, I can't do that to her.

So you'll allow it if I have her approval?

Yes.

She said okay! She allows it.

My grandson left the company and is on leave,

so I have to go to work early tomorrow.

-You should go now. -Yes, Grandmother.

I'm disappointed in you, Chairwoman Wang.

You used to be so commanding,

but now you're dodging glances from people.

You're a normal grandmother now. I'm disappointed.

Kids these days have absolutely no romance.

During my days, if we liked each other,

we'd run away together and cause an issue right away!

It's probably because

they've been so pampered.

It's a huge problem. Their lives are so boring!

Mother, what are you going to do?

Are you going to let Mi-yeong go back to Mr. Lee?

We can't let her!

How can we let her be with him when we already know of his illness?

He seemed fine to me at the press conference.

They should be together if that's what they want.

Exactly.

It's their life. It's not like we have a say in that.

No! I'm against this.

How can you say that when Geon's been so good to Dae-cheol?

That has nothing to do with this. This is something else.

Be quiet. Shut your mouths.

Mi-yeong.

Mom.

What were you thinking?

I heard he has some kind of illness.

Are you still willing to make things work with Geon?

Mom, I know very well what your worries and concerns are.

But just this once, could you let me make my own decision?

As you already know,

I've always been walking on eggshells when I'm around others

and could never even say "no" easily.

But I really want to live my own life this time around.

I had no idea that he broke up with me because of his illness

and I hated him for it.

Now I want to be good to him.

Mi-yeong.

Yes?

I can't allow this.

I can never allow this. No.

Mom.

You're not the only one who likes him.

I really like him too.

But I know what it's like to be left alone,

and I can't let you go through it.

It was so hard for me after losing your father.

I know you two love each other so much.

Do you realize what it will be like when you lose him?

I can't allow it.

Mom.

I bet my snail is fast asleep by now.

Look at her sleep.

Yes, come on inside.

Dragon, what brings you here so late in the evening?

RESIGNATION LETTER

-What's this? -I'm resigning from work.

Why are you saying that to me?

-I'm not the president anymore. -I thought you should know.

And Mom and I will be moving out as soon as we find a place.

Thank you for your generosity.

Hey, Dragon.

Who said

-you can quit on me? -What?

Do you know how big of a problem youth unemployment is?

You should be more dedicated if you have a job

that pays you a salary by the month!

And who said you can leave this house?

It's me that'll be leaving!

So you!

Stay here with your mother

and live with Chairwoman Wang

instead of me.

President.

Call me your brother, you ingrate!

-Brother! -Freeze!

We see each other often, don't we?

We are neighbors after all.

Why did you drink so much tonight?

Is this to get over your broken heart?

I guess I'm being pitied by you, Se-ra.

I had a company outing with my employees.

Not because I was dumped.

Stop trying to explain yourself. It's even more pitiful.

You and I are on the same boat anyway.

What did you say?

Let's not criticize one another.

We should be supporting one another.

I guess you're right.

You are going to fall over.

Seriously!

A little more, a little more...

No!

A bit more.

Goodness!

Here.

He's as tall as a pole.

I'm exhausted.

Look here, Daniel.

Brush yourself off and get back up.

I'm giving you advice as someone on the same boat.

What a fool. He should get rid of this.

President Lee Geon.

Yes?

You took three months off to read and relax,

but you've been staring at me for an hour now.

That's nonsense.

I've been reading all along.

I've been reading all along and only glanced at you for a moment.

Liar.

You're holding it upside down. At least hold it upright.

When was this flipped upside down?

That's odd.

By the way,

how are we going to convince my mother?

It's been weighing on my mind.

Lady Anchovy Wrap is quite the attractive woman.

Leave it to me to convince her.

Trust me.

We shouldn't spend our precious time

all worried and concerned.

I'll try to convince her again too.

Alright.

What are you drawing?

You can't look yet.

-Why not? -You can't.

-What are you hiding? -Not yet.

-This... -I'm not finished yet.

What are you doing?

What's this? You're caught in the act!

-Red-handed! -Come on inside.

-I caught you. -Just get inside.

You're unbelievable!

This place is nice!

It's great.

It's refreshing to meet you here instead of at work.

Ex-madam... I mean...

Our comeback madam.

How have you been?

I missed you these last couple of weeks.

You missed him?

You shouldn't say that to anyone.

Why not?

Stop with the nonsense and show us what you've got.

What's all this?

I've selected some places that you two can stay together alone.

Chairwoman Wang won't let us stay home, so we should move out.

These homes are too expensive. I don't feel comfortable.

Although I'm currently on vacation,

I'm still President Lee Geon, who runs a large corporation.

I've worked hard to save a lot of money.

So these here are nothing, but chump change!

Esteemed President of Jangin Chemicals.

Yes?

I know a place where we can stay close together.

Close together?

-Very close? -Yes, very close.

-Ji-yeon, we're here. -Mi-yeong!

Welcome!

Nice to meet you, President Lee Geon, our VVIP member

as well as the returned husband of Mi-yeong.

You're Jeon Ji-yeon, right?

Not Ji-hyun, but Ji-yeon.

-She's letting us borrow her place. -Borrow?

As a couple's manager,

I'm glad that I brought the two of you together again.

You didn't bring us together. We brought ourselves together...

-Don't mess with her. -I shouldn't, right?

Come on inside.

As a responsible couple's manager, I present to you the last step!

With your living space complete, my work here comes to an end.

I know you're extremely thankful, and so, with your permission,

I'd like to feature your love story on my blog.

You should speak with my legal team about that...

I understand. So please enjoy your stay here.

Seriously.

By the way Ji-yeon, where are you going to live?

-Are you moving back home? -Goodness!

Don't you know about my dad?

I'd be imprisoned as soon as I return home.

Then where are you going?

How do you do?

-So you want to live here from now on? -Yes, Chairwoman.

-If you'd permit me. -Of course not! Who do you think you are?

Is this your home?

This is my house! I'll make the decisions.

This is a home exchange contract that I signed with President Lee Geon.

Really?

Yong, what's that about?

She says she's changing homes with Geon.

Nonsense. You can't exchange homes like you exchange clothes.

It's simple, but it's binding.

Are you really going to let her live here?

Yes, it says so in the contract.

It's been lonely around here without Geon and Mi-yeong.

Move in immediately.

Thank you very much, Chairwoman!

How long are you planning to stay here?

-Until you approve of me, Mother. -My goodness.

You are really something.

There.

Good.

Alright. We're finally done.

Why don't we try and lie down?

Mi-yeong.

You didn't have to push me away like that.

-Don't do that. -I like the blankets.

You can't hide from me in here. There's no place to hide.

Goodness, my back.

Hurry up! I'm coming for you!

Here?

-I need to follow behind you right? -Yes.

Fifty meters to go.

Hello, we are the lovebirds.

Hello.

I thought you didn't like these.

I apologize for back then.

What a pretty picture.

Where should I put them?

You can put them anywhere you like.

No. Where should I put them?

How about the bed?

This is the chip that turned you into Lady Luck.

We may not be able to win every game in life

but with that chip,

you'll always have hope and opportunity.

Mi-yeong!

A couple of swallows built a nest next to the window.

I've never seen anything like it!

Mi-yeong?

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

-Nothing. -Then why are you crying?

Tell me, what's wrong?

-Because I'm so happy. -You're crying because you're happy?

What is it? Tell me.

Do you remember this?

Isn't this the lucky chip I gave you in Macau?

You had this with you all along?

I can't believe you're here with me now.

It's hard for me to believe it too.

I find myself checking constantly if you're still here.

We mustn't lose these precious moments.

Please stick close to my side, okay?

Like superglue.

I'm going to become superglue, like you said.

Stay next to me forever

like extra-strength superglue, alright?
