Are you looking for this?

(EPISODE 21)

You were right.

Mi Rae did take your ring.

I'm sorry.

I see.

I actually didn't come here for this.

I wanted to make things right between us.

I'm sorry for many things.

Let's talk about that later.

I know how you feel. There's no need to mention it.

- What's this? - Ms Kang's fundraiser is tonight.

Mr Kang wants you to wear this tonight.

Even though it's Mr Kang's orders, I hope you have enough sense...

to consider if you should be there.

After you, please.

Let's go.

I've never been to a place like this.

Help me around.

Mr Kang,

you look good.

You came early.

It's the least I can do as the organiser of the party.

Hello, Joon Hyeok.

You made it.

You look very beautiful today.

Who is this standing in front of me?

Is that you, Ms Shin?

Good evening, Sir.

I almost couldn't recognise her.

You look like a model today.

Hello, it's been a while.

I presume you know my daughter.

Il Joo, this is Mr Choi. He's the supreme court judge.

Hello.

That was my previous job. I work at a small law firm now.

I heard you had someone under your wing.

It's an honour to meet you in person.

The honour is mine.

I look forward to working with you.

Il Joo.

I'm glad you came.

You must be in pain because of your child.

You need to be strong at times like this.

That will help you in the long run.

Yes, I agree.

You look happier...

and more beautiful.

You need to look more glamorous...

at times like this,

so others won't look down on you.

- Come with me for a minute. - I don't have time for you.

Do I need to drag you out?

I'm here on Mr Kang's behalf.

Please mind your manners.

I think everyone is almost here.

Would you like to introduce your daughter, Mr Kang?

You should do it since you organised this event.

If I were to do that, people would get the wrong impression of me.

These people are your connections. You should proceed with it.

Well...

It won't look good if the father takes the stand.

- Is there anyone else? - Pardon me.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

may I take the stage to introduce Ms Kang?

Hello.

I am Mr Kang's secretary.

My name is Shin Eun Soo.

It's a privilege...

to introduce our main guest of today.

I'm someone who knows Ms Kang's great secret.

I would like to share that with you today.

Ms Kang...

and I went to the same high school.

When I first met her,

she was a weak person.

But she was bolder than anyone I knew.

She would do anything for the person she cared about.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ms Kang is someone...

who protected me from three bullies.

Let's give Ms Kang a big round of applause.

I still have a lot to say about you.

Thank you.

I would like to deeply thank my father...

for guiding me throughout my shortcomings.

I will try my best to be the politician...

that lives up to my father and your expectations.

Thank you for the warm support.

If I end up going on the wrong path,

I ask for your guidance and sharp criticisms along the way.

Thank you.

You did a good job.

You have the potential to go into politics.

What are you up to?

- What do you mean? - Why were you on stage before?

Do you know how important this event is for me?

We used to go to school together.

We were once best friends too.

Isn't this the least I can do for you?

What more do you have to say to me?

- Tell me right now. - What's the rush?

You look really beautiful today.

You're truly dazzling.

I wished that my child...

would become a glowing star like you.

It's been a while.

You're Shin Eun Soo, right?

It really is you.

You used to work at Daejeong International's Accounting Office.

You don't remember me?

I was the prosecutor for your case.

I was not sure if it was you because you look so different from then.

But what brings you here?

Are you trying to scam someone?

I don't think...

you belong here unless you're after a suspect.

We met at the farewell party last time, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry about what happened to your child.

As a father of three children, I can relate to how you feel.

Thank you.

Shin Eun Soo,

why don't we have a talk?

What are you doing?

Boss, just stay put for a moment.

I know this woman well.

She's a scammer.

Six years ago, you looked like a poor beggar.

How did you transform yourself like this?

Were you a gold digger?

Do you want to hook up with me as well?

What did you just say?

Who are you?

Get lost if you don't want to get hurt.

What did you just say?

You're talking to a prosecutor right now.

How dare you threaten me?

Eun Soo,

is he one of your sponsors?

What's with you? Come out.

Stop him!

He just assaulted a prosecutor!

That woman is my secretary.

What makes you think you can abuse her?

I apologise, Sir.

Who do you work for?

I apologise, Sir.

He works for me. He wasn't aware of the situation.

I'm really sorry.

- What are you doing? - What do you mean?

What are you doing here when Mi Rae is in the hospital?

Even if Mr Kang told you to come, you should've refused.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you care what I do?

It's over between us.

Eun Soo.

Are you all right, Eun Soo?

Stay out of it, Sir.

This is between us.

Why did you bring her here?

I told you not to see her in private.

Look, Hyeong Woo.

I didn't come here for personal reasons.

I'm here as Mr Kang's secretary.

You should concentrate on your job as Ms Kang's aide.

I apologise, Sir.

Let us go back inside.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to see him again.

I need your help.

You did well today.

I'm sorry that you got slapped.

I'm fine, Sir.

I am willing to do anything you ask of me.

I'll remember that.

What do you think, Father?

Mr Kang wasn't his usual self.

He assaulted someone...

at a public event in front of all his acquaintances.

Just because he feels young...

doesn't mean he actually is.

I'm actually afraid he'll live for many more years.

Shouldn't you go home?

If you'll be going home soon,

I'll have my driver wait.

No, Sir.

I want to spend the night here with my child.

I'll see you tomorrow, Sir.

Sir.

Do you want to say something?

Must you...

break up with Hyeong Woo like that?

If it's about your daughter,

why don't you take some time off?

You two...

were deeply in love.

No.

I really don't want to be with him any more.

For as long as he was around,

I was never happy.

I see the bigger picture now.

I know why you keep her so close to you.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Do you really think of her as a mere secretary?

Do you know how pathetic you look?

I know you're politically driven. You must get dirty to win.

But the lust you have for her...

It makes me sick.

- Watch your tongue. - No.

She's mine so I will speak up.

Just because you're powerful doesn't mean you can have it all.

How much longer do you think you'll live?

Are you trying to toy with that poor woman?

I'm warning you.

Don't do that again.

Or I'll do something about it.

Why did you bring Eun Soo there?

What did you tell me?

Your motive was to find out the person who was using her.

If you want to find that person,

you should interrogate Eun Soo.

Or have someone follow her.

She's not good enough to be there.

That's enough.

She was there to assist me.

Are you...

sure about that?

Since when did you...

let a secretary link arms with you?

Unbelievable.

He told me to represent Gangnam,

but refused to give me money.

Then he appears at Il Joo's fundraiser?

Her in-laws hosted that event.

That's my point.

I wouldn't have to feel this rotten if I had rich in-laws.

I can't believe I let myself marry someone like you.

What was I thinking?

Hey.

Go fill up the bathtub for me.

Honey.

What did you think about Eun Soo being there?

Or rather,

what did you think about your father slapping someone?

Stop it.

My father has always been a scary person.

You care about others getting slapped,

but not me?

That's not my point.

Don't you think your father cares for her a little too much?

What did you say...

to your father?

It's none of your business.

Is something wrong?

You couldn't compose yourself in front of Eun Soo.

Does it bother you that your father cares for her?

The look on your face...

tells me that you didn't find the documents yet.

Do you think Eun Soo has those documents?

Is she blackmailing you?

Il Joo.

Of all the people here,

I'm the only one who can help you.

Like it or not, we're in the same boat.

You know how much I love you.

Then help me find the documents.

It's not in this house. I think Eun Soo has them.

If you find those documents,

I'll believe you.

I just got on the bus.

Hang on.

Thank you.

Go on.

Yes.

Spare clothes?

Okay.

I'll bring a blanket so you can stay warm.

It might feel warm in there but you could catch a cold.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

All right.

Who are you?

My goodness.

What kind of crazy people would try to steal from us?

Was anything missing?

They turned the house upside down,

but they didn't take anything.

Those scums.

They found nothing and beat you up like this.

They robbed the wrong house.

Thank goodness you aren't hurt that much.

My goodness, what a scary world.

Be careful when you head home, too.

Thieves are everywhere.

Why did you edit my conversation with my mother...

and let Eun Soo hear it?

I wanted to make sure Eun Soo was trustworthy.

I went to the prosecutor's office...

to lift her travel ban.

He's telling the truth.

The prosecutor whom he went to meet was not...

a part of the special forces.

These ledgers stayed in Mr Jin's room as it was before.

He must have liked Eun Soo long before that.

Dirty old man.

How dare she do this to my family?

I'm going to destroy you,

Il Joo.

Mr Kang.

The weather is chilly. You'll catch a cold.

I can't tell if it's cold or not.

My heart must be frozen.

Okay.

You can use this as a credit card and a transit pass.

Do you want the call forwarding service as well?

We forward the people who call your old number to your new one.

- No, there is no need. - All right.

You received a package early this morning.

The sender's name wasn't on it.

Will you be eating breakfast here?

No.

The number you have called does not exist. Please try again.

Mr Kang.

Excuse me.

I saw Mr Kang taking a stroll.

Did something bad happen?

Why are you prying about his personal life?

Mr Kang wants you to finish checking the ledgers...

and leave them on his desk by the end of this week.

I have something to tell him about those ledgers.

You can simply write him a memo.

He told me to pass on any urgent messages from you.

That's how it is.

Good morning, everyone.

Oh my, you are wearing the clothes I bought you.

I knew I made the perfect choice.

Come to think about it, Ms Shin, you aren't in your uniform.

I spilled ink on it a few days ago.

I left it at the dry cleaning place.

Shouldn't a secretary be dressed in her uniform?

Nonsense.

That uniform was ugly and gloomy. It made my appetite disappear.

Hey, feel free to dress any way you want.

Father is the one who told us that we should eat breakfast together.

Why is he skipping breakfast these days?

Mr Kang will eat separately for the time being.

Is he sick?

No, it was his will.

Are you looking for a book?

Can I help you?

He asked me to find it.

Where is Mr Kang?

I have something to tell him.

You can tell me.

Mr Kang isn't someone you should meet directly.

I changed my number.

I thought you should know.

Why would I call you?

Give that to Ms Ko.

Mr Kang.

Did I do something wrong?

I'm not sure what you mean.

You've been...

avoiding me for the past few days.

I'm afraid you are mistaken.

Mr Kang.

How dare you touch me?

I'm sorry.

Why are you doing this?

Things are...

a bit tough for me.

It's late. You may go home.

I'll tell Mr Cho to prepare the car.

No.

I can go by myself.

Can I lean against your shoulder...

just for a while?

So I can rely on you when I'm having a hard time.

What do you think you're doing right now?

She is quite drunk.

You should take her home.

Eun Soo, are you okay?

How much did you drink?

I'm not drunk.

You're not even drunk,

but you acted like that in front of Mr Kang?

Because I need him.

What are you talking about?

Are you...

trying to seduce Mr Kang?

There is no reason not to.

Come to your senses, Eun Soo.

- Are you out of your mind? - Yes, I'm crazy.

How can I not be?

Just a few days ago, my child was fine. Now she's hospitalised.

What kind of mother would not go crazy?

Is that why you're acting like this?

Mr Kang is taking care of Mi Rae.

Mi Rae's life depends on him.

I can do that for you too.

I have that kind of money as well.

It could take 10 or even 20 years...

or even 50 years, no one knows.

How would you finance that?

So...

are you going to live with Mr Kang for the sake of your daughter?

- Is that what you want? - There's no reason not to!

Shin Eun Soo!

What does this have to do with you?

We are not a couple any more.

Stop meddling into my affairs.

Do you remember what you said to me when we broke up?

You said you wouldn't live as a woman ever again.

That's right.

I'm not living as a woman.

As the mother of Mi Rae,

I just need Mr Kang.

Are you sure you searched everywhere?

Are you sure it's not there?

You got caught?

What's wrong with you?

Do you do anything right?

I will come after you.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

What brings you here, Father?

What are you doing at that house?

- Why? - You told your brother that...

you would get those documents.

But we didn't hear back from you.

It's not easy locating those documents in that big house.

It could be possible that it's not in the house.

Could you tell me the passcode...

that I asked about last time?

Why do you need that when you don't even have the documents?

Okay, then I'm calling everything off.

Tell my brother to find those documents.

Stop making me do your dirty work.

I won't do it any more.

Here you go.

Don't mess up, okay?

There's another storm coming your brother's way.

Why?

Did he have an affair again?

Does his wife want a divorce?

It's not that. Ah Reum is back.

Ah Reum?

- When? - She came back without telling us.

Your brother doesn't know yet.

Now I have my granddaughter to worry about on top of you.

- Who are you? - Your name is Shin Beom Soo.

You entered law school with honours.

First year was free but you didn't have enough tuition later.

So you enrolled into the army,

which makes you a soldier.

Just move aside.

You must have been busy,

but you passed the first level bar exam in the army.

Who are you?

Are you curious about me?

I guess that's because I have a lot of information about you.

I'm not interested in girls, okay?

You're just wasting your time.

I think you're misunderstood.

I'm not interested in you either.

I'm just curious about my father's change of preference.

- Your father? - There are plenty of smart people.

Why would he choose an underprivileged guy like you?

Who are you to say that I'm underprivileged?

You have rags covering you.

Just look at yourself.

I have no time for this, move aside.

Wow.

He clearly doesn't have a sense of fashion.

I can't believe him.

How could he diss my fashion?

Forget about him.

Wait a minute,

something is fishy.

Doctor! Please hurry!

Her cardiogram doesn't look good.

Her pulse is also slowing down.

It's urgent!

What's going on?

Is something wrong?

Please stay outside.

What's wrong?

Mi Rae!

Mi Rae!

Bring the AED.

Attach it on her and check her breathing.

The number you have called does not exist.

Oh my goodness!

The number you have called does not exist.

How can this be?

I'm sure this is her number. Why isn't it going through?

Eun Soo.

The hospital called.

They said your child is in critical condition.

What did you say?

What's going on?

Her child...

is in critical condition.

Why didn't you inform me first?

Have Mr Cho ready the car.

Hurry!

You can't go in right now.

I have to see my child.

You can't go inside.

Is she in critical condition?

Mi Rae will be okay, right?

I don't know. We have to wait and see.

I agree.

Let's trust the doctor and wait.

Acting like this won't help the child.

Eun Soo.

I can't live without Mi Rae.

Please save her.

Please save her.

It will be okay.

The heavens are watching over her.

Ms Shin!

Mi Rae has stabilised.

You can come in now.

Mi Rae.

Mi Rae.

All her vital signs are back to normal.

Does that mean she is okay now?

This will happen often in the future because of her coma.

To be honest,

things don't look too good...

for this patient.

The old man's acting strange.

Why is he taking a stroll on this cold day?

Did he eat breakfast?

No. He said he had no appetite.

Too bad.

I could've slept in had I known he'd skip breakfast.

If I may,

there's something I must tell everyone.

It's about Ms Shin.

In my opinion...

Ms Ko, are you trying...

to get her kicked out of this house like last time?

If so, I'll pass.

Don't you think we should...

listen to what she has to say?

Go on.

I think Ms Shin...

is trying to seduce Mr Kang.

Forget about the past.

Recently she has been...

accompanying him on events beyond her capacity as a secretary.

And now...

she even makes physical contact with him without hesitation.

Do you have any proof?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Ms Shin has arrived.

Are you trying to seduce my father?

What do you mean?

Don't deny it. We have a witness.

Watch what you say.

She's not that kind of a person.

Stay out of it, you idiot.

Your fiancee's fooling around...

and you defend her?

You can insult me,

but I won't let you insult her.

Oh?

How dare you glare at me?

If you call yourself a man,

take better care of your mistress.

Honey!

What was that for?

Did you just punch me?

I have 20 years of boxing experience and you dare hit me?

No, wait.

Let's stop this.

It's my fault.

What's going on?

Father.

Is it true that Eun Soo tried to seduce you?

Have you lost your minds?

It's not true then?

Enough with the nonsense...

and get to work.

See? I told you it was preposterous.

But even if it were true,

how dare you punch Il Do?

That happened over breakfast?

Things could be going in our favour.

Don't you think...

we should boost their relationship?

While everyone else disapproves, we should support them.

No.

I know Mr Kang well.

He is firm like a rock.

Once he makes up his mind, he never wavers.

Plus...

if you or I get involved,

it will only backfire.

Then what do you suggest we do?

Even rocks have a weakness.

The guilt of not being able to protect his last love...

could end up becoming his downfall.

Like flowing water.

So you're saying we should torment the rabbit a little more.

To make him want to...

protect the woman who reminds him of Cheong Mi.

Goodness.

You are very clever.

Now I understand why Mr Kang kept you close,

despite all the threats you posed.

Do you really not have any ulterior motive towards my father?

Like what?

Never mind.

Before my daughter fell down the stairs,

she told me a story, saying it was a present.

The yellow rose of Sharon.

Roses of Sharon are usually pink.

Why did she say she hid a yellow rose of Sharon?

She hid it?

Where?

Why?

Do you want to know?

Now that you tell me,

I'm curious.

- Did you look for it? - Of course.

I hid it so I can show it to her when she wakes up.

The funny thing is,

our house got robbed.

I'm glad I put it somewhere else.

Oh, but there's more.

My brother got hurt...

but nothing from my home went missing.

Why are you telling me all that?

To make you laugh.

We're dirt poor,

but I can't believe someone tried to rob us.

Something's wrong.

Whether she has the documents or not,

she definitely knows about them.

I must do something.

She might tell my father.

(YEONG AE)

I didn't invite Il Ran.

I think she enjoys toying with Eun Soo.

I didn't think she'd be any help.

We need to decide who will...

bell the cat.

You're so funny.

That's the eldest son's job.

Are we here to share a meal or something?

I doubt you called us here just for a meal.

I think we should discuss about Eun Soo.

My father sorted it out already.

If she were that easy to get rid of,

why do you think that I almost lost my son...

to her again after 15 years?

To be honest,

I am very glad that...

she switched targets.

I refuse to call her...

"mother."

What do you mean?

Are you mad?

You're going a bit too far, Darling.

Do you really think your father would...

marry someone like her?

You never know what will happen.

Who is the person he spends most of his time with?

And Ms Ko would only say what she is sure of.

Il Joo is right.

Eun Soo is the one who found out about your slush fund.

Mr Kang told her to go over the ledgers.

He trusts her more than any of us.

This is more serious than I thought.

If they do get married,

then the wife...

will inherit everything.

Se Yeong.

I hope Eun Soo doesn't find any discrepancies in your ledgers.

If she does,

Mr Kang will make an example out of you.

You can't stay up all night after working all day.

Get some sleep.

- Why are you here? - Look.

Do you know she's guzzling up 5,000 dollars a night?

That's 150,000 dollars a month.

Grow up.

Why are you using Mr Kang's money instead of Mr Jin's?

All that flirting with my father,

is that worth 5,000 dollars a day?

What are you talking about?

Mr Kang is just looking out for his secretary.

What nonsense is this?

You're so naive.

Who would spend...

that much money for a mere secretary?

Unplug all those machines.

- Yes, Sir. - Stay away from her.

Go away!

What do you think you're doing?

My daughter's life is on the line!

Get out of my way!

Did you just hit my daughter?

You're a dead man!

Get your hands off of me.

Stop it!

This is enough money for three years.

If she doesn't wake up after that, I'll give you more.

So stop disturbing my household and just leave.

Is this...

what you wanted?

I just don't want you to get hurt any more.

Hey, there's no need to be lofty.

Take everything outside.

- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.

Stop!

Stop it already.

She probably learned her lesson.

Is she really...

beyond any hope?

Yes, Sir.

Nobody ever woke up from a case like hers in this nation.

All we are doing is prolonging her death.

Her chance of surviving is very slim.

Is there a preceding case overseas?

What if I call in the best of the best?

Did you really...

do something to Mr Kang because of his money?

Is that why...

Hyeong Woo no longer visits?

Say something!

If not, why would they gang up on you like that?

Then, we'd better...

just take off...

Mi Rae's respirator.

- Mum. - Look at what you're going through.

I won't let that happen to you any more.

You're my child, too.

Look at the things my child is going through.

You may as well tell me to die.

Is that so?

Then I'll die myself.

I might as well just bite my tongue and reunite with your father.

How did you end up like this?

My family must have come here to find you.

Did they meddle with you?

I deserved it.

I came back to my senses...

after I got slapped.

It was foolish of me to receive your kindness.

How could I let them...

say something like that in front of my ill daughter?

I must've been out of my mind.

Life was so hard...

that I wanted to rely on you.

I wanted to avoid this rainstorm...

under your shadows.

But...

I didn't know this shadow could be so easily shattered.

Thank you for everything.

I want to quit...

my secretary job.

You don't need to worry about my child any more.

I'll take care of her myself...

even if it means I'd have to go into debt.

I'll make sure you hear nothing like that any more.

I will become a tree which you can lean on.

I'll become a big shadow which can protect...

your child, too.

All you have to do is become a part of my family.

Then, no one will be able to lay a finger on you.

Marry me.

What did you just say?

- Hyeong Woo. - I said, what did you say?

(GLAMOROUS TEMPTATION)

Did you tempt her with money and power?

- Hyeong Woo. - Stop saying my name. Answer me!

If you could make Eun Soo happy,

then my job here is done.

But you can no longer make her happy.

You're finally showing your true self.

She would've gone abroad and married me up until a few days ago.

What do you think you're saying?

Kang Seok Hyun only has five years to live.

Do you want to go through that tragedy again?

That's great.

I'll get the inheritance needed to take care of Mi Rae faster.

How could you think like that?

Don't touch me.

I overreacted yesterday.

I'll take care of your child until the end,

so disregard what I said yesterday.

What about my feelings?

People may criticise me...

but I have feelings for you, too.

It's not because of my child.
