Secret Love Affair

Episode 7

Has it been two hours already?

No.

I've been driving for about forty minutes.

We are at a place called Jangheung.

We can stay here for a bit and go back then.

Why are you hurt?

I was struck by a falling star.

Never mind if it wasn't funny.

Why didn't you go home

and called me instead?

It's my choice.

Being at home feels like

I'm still at work sometimes.

Why don't you get something to drink.

Okay.

Transaction History Total Balance: 178,663 won (around $180)Available Balance: 178,663 won

Hello.

Are you lodging?

No,

just for around an hour and half.

W30,000 ($30).

How much is the best room?

W50,000 for the one with full option, W5,000 discount if you pay in cash.

Could I take a look?

Come down to the front desk, I need to show a room to a guest.

Yes.

Nice whirlpool tub, right?

Yes.

You can adjust the brightness with this switch.

Ambience with this switch.

Adult channels, Internet. All working.

If you want to do it in a variety of positions...

Why don't you try sitting here.

What's wrong?

You don't like it?

Is a 5 star hotel more to your girl's liking?

Isn't there a room without these?

All we need is a clean room, without bugs or rats.

Where are you?

I got a room. It's clean and nothing tacky in the room.

You said your home was like your work, so I wanted you to take a rest.

What?

Sorry, I was wrong,

I shouldn't have called you.

I'm running away now.

I don't want to go to such a place with you.

You're late.

What's so late?

Mahjong gatherings are always like that.

Bring me some tea. To the study.

What is that?

I hit it on something.

Be careful.

If someone sees it, they might think you got hit in a fight with your husband.

Be careful how you conduct yourself, I'm saying.

What do you want to say?

It was self-explanatory.

It's a hit I took from Young Woo.

So, now, are you being angry with me?

I wasn't being angry.

But why are you saying it like that?

Saying it how?

If someone's listening, they might think I told Young Woo to hit you.

If someone else sees it, if someone's listening.

That's what's important to you, right? - Don't twist my words.

That's why!

Is that, right now,

what I should be getting from you instead of being comforted?

In exchange for living this well, that I have to take the hits if someone throws things and punches?

Is anyone making you?

You, too, being dressed in designer clothes, hanging out with rich people...

You took it upon yourself because you wanted enjoy this, that, and everything.

If you don't like it, why don't you quit!

That's right.

I'll quit, why not.

This house, my job and your professorship, after giving up all of these things...

Let's just go back to our twenties when we had nothing, why not.

If it were possible to do that,

I too would like it.

You go back.

Of course, you'd want to.

The key to my place is in the pocket of my jacket, and my jacket is in your car...

And I'm in front of your house.

You should have been responsible enough to take care of your possessions.

I don't know what i did wrong.

It's not even as if I'd said let's sleep together.

You don't know?

Did you think that I'd jump for joy and follow you?

I told you.

You said your home felt like work.

You said you can't rest even at home, so what do you think there was that I could do?

Was that all?

Do you expect me to believe that now?

I'm being 100%, completely sincere!

As I said, what the heck is your sincerity?

All, everything! Because I love you.

Although someday I hope we do sleep together,

earlier, that wasn't the case. You said you were having a hard time, remember?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being mad at you.

Well, whatever.

I wasn't mad at you but at myself.

Thinking that it's because I'm inadequate

that you are suffering that kind of insult.

That's enough.

Why address me so formally suddenly? You're making me nervous.

Sorry.

I must have been angry too.

Have breakfast. I'm going to get some out.

With whom?

With the old man. For Young Woo's matters.

Can you come to Seon Jae's audition?

No.

Stop being angry.

What happened?

Why did you skip morning exercise?

If you decided to do something, you should keep doing it.

I avoided you because you were mad.

Avoid what?

Did you master the audition piece?

Are you remembering not to convey your emotion from the cadenza part?

The reason why Son Yeol Eum is great is because she's able to execute passion with cool.

That's how you really convey passion.

Understood?

What is this?

Why are you not answering?

Are you upset?

Or are you pretending to be upset?

Are you

being so brazen and playing mind games with me?

No.

I understood what you said about Son Yeol Eum.

And the mindga...

I've never played such a game, nor would I ever want to.

Just focus on your performance!

What would you know...

Do you think I'd jump at the opportunity and follow you?

Was that all?

You want me to believe that?

Ouch!

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

I'm sorry for my oversight yesterday, knowing Young Woo's personality and all.

What oversight.

Sit.

Yes sir.

Alright.

We should probably leave Young Woo's CEO position as is.

Of course.

I plan to promote you to a Vice CEO position instead.

I told Seong Sook already.

Thank you sir.

Are you disappointed?

Disappointment is something that happens at the very end.

Indeed.

That's the response I expected from you.

As you always say,

what's so important about the title? Your having the full authority is what's important.

I'm well aware of it, sir.

And...

Why don't we open an account together.

I don't understand sir.

You really don't understand?

No.

I hear that Seong Sook purchased some paintings.

Yes.

At an auction in Zurich, two pieces by Malevich,

a piece by Willem de Kooning.

What kind of names are those?

Hard to memorize.

It was a good purchase.

It's worthwhile for collection and investment.

Russian nouveau riches are especially crazy over them.

They're authentic paintings, right?

I'm not hoping that Young Woo's company will be profitable.

But you probably know that already.

Yes.

I'm going to register it as a parallel import business, so if you're interested in art work...

In other words,

if you need another conduit...

Do you think you can do it?

I would have to.

Well then, let's eat.

Yes sir.

What's Director Oh doing after breakfast?

She has an appointment with CEO Seo.

The Seohan Apparel showroom tour...

She said she would come to the office at around three o'clock.

Then I probably have to step out around then.

I'll drop by Mrs. Baek's.

Call her and let her know.

Yes ma'am.

What's that?

Is there another weird stuff in the pocket?

Seong Sook doesn't know that, right?

No, not yet.

That lady...

I guess you're very fond of her.

She's something.

She's changes from a sheet of ice, to a bonfire.

I want to bring her somewhere

and spend just a month with her.

Would that be possible?

If it lasts too long, you might...

...be caught red handed.

You're right.

Nice.

You could be a model yourself.

Should I?

You're here already.

Did you have good breakfast?

Yes, thanks to you.

Sorry.

I understand, knowing how busy you are.

How do I look?

Great. You and your proportionate figure.

Could we sit together somewhere?

Yes ma'am.

There will be a notice of

a brand spin-off from Seohan Apparel,

And you needn't worry about accounting and day-to-day matters

as Chairman Seo has already given instruction on that as far as I know.

We'll be fine as long as Madame Han doesn't mess with us.

Could you coordinate the men's outdoor wear marketing effort please.

Yes ma'am.

Don't we need to get ourselves involved in the advertising?

Of course we do.

We can do that, right?

Well...

...to a degree, I'm sure.

He says he's playing a piece by Liszt.

Spanish Rhapsody.

How refreshing.

He's a fan of Son Yeol Eum.

Did you teach him?

Of course I did, who else would?

Hye Won...

... I mean, what about Director Oh?

She's been busy lately.

She does take interest in his playing though.

Let's listen to him.

Alright, Lee Seon Jae,

start playing.

Yes.

How funny.

What's so funny?

Him. Everything about him is funny.

I'm going to get going now.

To where?

I agree.

It's a good idea.

Come here. I'll give you a hug.

I'll give you a hug.

He's pretty good.

He's not just "pretty good".

You're really good!

You didn't even make any mistake.

Thank you.

You did especially well today.

Ah, this is Ji Min Woo.

Hi.

Get along well.

You guys will both influence each other in good ways.

Battle against each other sometime.

Wow, that would be fun.

Teacher Oh Hye Won picked me up,

and introduced me to Professor Jo In Seo.

She's the real teacher to me.

I went to him when Professor In Seo was staying in the U.S.

and I followed him to this school.

I don't see her as often now,

but the pointers she gives me sometimes are really helpful.

Do you want to exchange numbers?

No.

Sorry.

Professor!

What are you doing?

Oh, I was about to go out.

It's an emergency.

Hmm?

If you saw something like that, you should've told me without being caught.

She caught me right on the spot!

Seeing that it's without a box,

he might have given it and then took it away.

Or maybe,

he left it there

to show me what kind of a b*tch she is.

It's kind of hard to put them all together.

I'm sorry.

You didn't know?

No. Not at all.

It's a dereliction of duty.

Right?

I acknowledge it.

Are you, by any chance, discontent with me?

You expected to get the CEO position while Young Woo's working on the new business,

but it's only Vice CEO. Is that why?

Of course not.

I also made this clear to the Chairman.

The worst scenario that I can think of is

Young Woo bringing another woman to her dad

and you helping her with it.

Since you're more than capable of doing that.

I'm sad to hear that.

Then, prove it otherwise.

I'm going to rest for a bit,

Don't put through Chairman's calls either.

Take care of it, thoroughly.

I understand.

The number you called...

has stopped receiving calls per customer's request.

It says it can only send out calls.

Illegal phone...

Of course it is.

Then, how did the old man get a hold of her?

Could it be that he set up a living household for her?

I heard she quit her job at the restaurant, too.

Big trouble.

I know, right?

Watch your mouth.

Yes.

Where are you going?

I'd have to go for legwork.

I'll go with you...

You have to prepare for the scholarship award ceremony tomorrow.

Then should I...

Just keep guard on the chairwoman's office.

These days, she's a little...

I know! You feel that too, right?

Who is it?

It's me.

Oh.

Did you do well today?

Yeah. I was really bummed out.

Why?

I don't know.

Don't ask me to come in. I was just going to see your face and leave.

Let me be the cool girlfriend of a freshly-minted college student.

Come again.

What?

I told you to come again.

What are you saying?

If I don't see you and Jangho,

I might lose my identity.

My head will get too big.

It's good that you know.

If you forget your vocational HS and quick delivery roots,

you're dead.

But, call before you come.

What?

Someone... no..

My teacher might be here.

Your professor even comes to your house to teach?

Not the professor...

You have a separate teacher?

Yeah, anyway, it's a little different.

Okay. Sleep.

Be careful on your way back.

Have you been well?

You changed your job since I last saw you.

Why did you come? I have no reason to see you.

Sit down first.

I know it's business hours now, but I've asked your boss for a permission to chat.

You're healthy, right?

Say what you want to say.

Yes, I should.

Do you want to have some beer..

I don't drink beer.

Get me some hard liquor.

Oh, sure.

Here!

Okay!

I have nothing to say.

Take this back and leave.

You seem like a very

principled person.

How great.

So that's why the chairman has taken a liking in you.

If it's okay with you,

I'd like to call you as my "senior."

I don't care.

I...

I didn't come here to determine right or wrong.

It's natural to want to rely on someone

if you are living by yourself, far away from your family.

I'll...

Have you...

seen this before? - I have.

I see.

-Talk slowly as you drink... -No need to do it slowly.

I'll get right to the point.

The chairman or the old man gave me the ring and wouldn't leave me alone,

so as I got out of there as if running away, I put it (the ring) in the pocket.

I guess the old man's wife found out because of the ring.

I want you to tell her exactly what I am telling you now.

I was in bed with exactly twice

and it was no fun so I dumped him.

So tell her not to worry.

I don't know what you're...

You don't understand?

I won't see him ever again.

He made such a big deal out of this ring,

so I had to change my job, phone number, and everything else.

I was so sick of him.

I don't know how people like you view me but,

I attended a prestigious school

founded by Chairman Mao Ze Dong.

And we were taught that

all men are equal and we are all in charge of our own destiny.

Forgive me for being lewd, but I would pay him to sleep with him if I liked him.

Just because a man has got some money,

flirting with him even though I don't even like him? I can never do such a thing.

I understand.

But...

I'm just a messenger here so I have to get a firm answer...

...in other words, even if he contacts you again,

you won't meet him... - Hey! (starts speaking banmal)

Pardon? - I told you I dumped him because I didn't like him.

You want confirmation in addition to that?!

You're dressed nicely, but you have poor listening skills.

If you accept that (money), I'll take that as a confirmation.

What kind of bitch are you?

Why are you making me say the same thing over again?

If you making a living out of running errands for rich people,

you should at least have the listening skills.

I don't ever want to see you again.

I think..

you don't have to worry.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon,

there's a scholarship award ceremony.

Yes. Lee Seon Jae.

Yes.

Good night.

♫ The street light

♫ that used to shed light on the water

♫ knew the familiar sound

♫ of you crying

♫ I'm suddenly sad

♫ I see someone standing beside you

♫ Says Lily

♫ Says Lily

What's wrong?

♫ Like a distant dream

♫ you never leave my heart

♫ On a very foggy night

♫ Someone's standing beside you

♫ Says Lily

♫ Says Lily

Honey.

Give me a present.

P..present?

What do you want?

Vasectomy.

What?

Or...this!

I had a lot of fun thanks to you yesterday.

So that's how we restored our trust, right?

Thank you.

Yes.

Dean Min is here.

Welcome.

It's been a longtime, Chairperson Han.

Oh, is it this guy?

Yes. Lee Seon Jae. Say hello.

This is the Chairperson of the Seohan Arts Foundation, Mrs. Han Seong Sook.

I've heard a lot about you, and listened to your performance.

I have big expectations.

If it weren't for you, this gem would never have been unearthed.

Please.

Well, let's do the ceremony first and talk, Director Oh.

Yes sir.

Are you ready?

Seon Jae, over here.

Yes.

Certificate of Scholarship, Lee Seon Jae.

In accordance with the 3rd article of founding spirit and the management thereof of the Seohan Arts Foundation,

the said person is selected as the recipient for

the 2014 Seohan Arts Foundation talent fostering scholarship,

hence is awarded this certificate and the scholarship.

March 25th, 2014

the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Seohan Arts Foundation, Han Seong Sook.

The recipient, please face this way.

What's this?

Uh, come here as well, CEO Seo.

That's right. Let's take a group picture. I didn't notify you as this pertained to Foundation matter.

We are in the middle of promotional photography session following the scholarship award ceremony.

I'm sure they'll take all the yoke.

Why are you acting this way again, huh?

Let me introduce you guys. This here is Lee Seon Jae.

- It's that kid from before. - You're correct.

I will be watching you, as to how much of corruption you're covering up this way (philanthropy).

CEO Seo.

What? Have I said something incorrect?

What was that about yesterday, huh? If you got promoted to the Vice CEO,

shouldn't you drop running personal errands for the Chairwoman?

- What? - Really...

You have a few papers to sign.

Go on ahead then.

With added responsibility of my company,

why do you have to keep on?

Let's stop this, CEO Seo.

Don't you find all the senior management possess strong personalities?

Here. All you have to do is sign all the checked lines.

The scholarship will be paid through the school, so when you submit this

TA Shin Jong Soo will issue the student ID and everything else.

If you're done, go on.

Go on ahead.

That woman earlier...

What's she about?

Didn't you catch it?

CEO of the Art Center.

Then why is she treating you that way?

You need not know.

Consider that your life lesson.

All the hurt I felt because of you until yesterday has been completely wiped off now.

Instead I'm so furious and pissed off right now.

GO already!

What's wrong?

Let's go. Let's go to school to pick up your ID,

and I have some things to give you as well.

Yes.

Ex...

Excuse me...

How should I resolve the nonsense Professor Kim In Joo from the instrumental music dept. is talking about?

What kind of nonsense?

Apparently she told a student that a broker was

the Art Center's exclusive dealer.

Then you should refute that.

I did make a call.

I wish I didn't have to hear about junk like that.

- Shall I bring you a blanket? Yes.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

I'm sorry to say this, but I think I have to meet you there.

I have some urgent home business to take care of.

Uh... want to?

Yes. I will see you shortly.

Do you want to quit school?

Did you really have to be all loud about it just because I told you to handle it yourself?

Not only by yourself, but involving an assistant professor from another department!

That's not it at all.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make the instrument work.

So I got frustrated.

I heard that Unni from the Art Center was

a sunbae from the Instrumental Music Dept. - Birds of a feather!

She behaved exactly the same way as you.

No wonder she couldn't even become a part-time instructor,

and gave it up in the end.

I can see your future clearly.

Switch your adviser, immediately! I don't feel like teaching students like you!

Professor!

I'm here.

Uh, Yoo Ra.

- You've decided on dual major, right? - Yes, I had no choice.

I picked out a perfect one for you.

You can leave now.

How much does that run?

That can be discussed with your mother. Just try it out.

I don't care much for imitation.

Listen to this girl talking.

Call Lee Seon Jae up, and see why it's taking so long.

Ah, I'm here, Sir.

Oh, it's you. I thought it was Shin Jong Soo.

I ran into him up front.

- Did you receive everything you need? - Yes.

Don't lose the student ID, and utilize it fully.

It also works as a check card (debit card), as of last year,

and you can even get discount to use the performance venue.

He told me to ask you about the class schedule.

Because your enrollment is mid-session, you just have to get performance lessons with me

until the next semester. Three times a week.

Mon., Wed., Fri., at 1pm. When I'm busy,

Instructor Choi will sub for me. - Okay.

And also,

take these books with you.

I asked you to come to give you these.

When you officially register for courses next semester,

art, music history, etc.

you will have hard time in liberal arts classes.

Your academics has much to be desired. You know that, right?

So read up on all these.

Music, in the end, is still the humanities, you see?

The reason why it's so important is that

it(study of the humanities) helps one see oneself and or the world

objectively, you see?

At your age, it's typical to take the momentary passion

and mistake it for purity, easily.

But it's not possible to read music or whatever else properly at all.

I understand.

Ah, and on the weekend, come to the house for a periodic check.

I will plan out a schedule, and hand it over to teacher Oh,

so take consistent steps

to progress to the next phase.

What? Do you have something to ask?

No, I don't.

Ah, then, I'm going to take off.

Okay. I will see you in class.

Punk. That attitude.

Go already!

No need for you to know.

Just think of it as a life lesson.

Secret Love Affair

Since you came, it's alright.

And I get that you're jealous.

So I'm glad.

Don't you even have a dream? An ambition?

I, who you believe as a goddess, in reality

is no more than a servant.

Think just a little bit of how I feel.

I'm just going to live enjoying music.

I think that's love.
