[EP14 Cunning Single Lady]

Did you give her the order to change the bag?

That’s…

Why? Why did you do it?

It’s because you don’t understand what I told you.

What?

You don’t like me doing this?

You screwed it up.

We all worked hard for this event, and you screwed it up.

You're the one who screwed up.

You've screwed both the CEO and the company.

I asked you to help me.

I told you that I can protect CEO Cha’s dream.

I love him.

Are you trying to cling to him by guilting him as his ex-wife?

What kind of difference can you make...

- ...by sticking to him like that? - Stop.

Whether it's because of his guilt or regret, we'll take care of it.

It’s none of your business.

We?

You sound like you've already reconciled.

God.

Is that what you're really thinking?

Yes.

I've thought about it.

Why not?

Regardless of his guilt or regret...

…I felt moved to start over with him when he told me he loved me.

Why can't we start things over?

I've done it before, so it might be better t his time.

I know it'll be okay because my heart flutters with love.

I've been thinking about us all day long.

Yes.

It’s true that we’ve been changed a lot since we separated.

I’m scared of our differences...

...but that's all I have to be concerned about.

I’m just trying to be careful with him.

You said you can start over with him?

You think it'll be better this time because you've loved him before?

Do you hear how ridiculous that is?

I can see now you're the one who's broken.

You criticized me for clinging to him with guilt...

...but aren't you the one clinging on a debt of gratitude....

...because you've been supporting him in hard times?

Why are you so afraid?

Is it because you can’t control Jung Woo?

Yeo Jin! Are you alright?

Ae Ra, what happened?

I… I just…

Yeo Jin!

Yeo Jin!

Cha Jung Woo!

I've warned her many times not to miss regular checkups...

...but she kept saying she had work to do.

There's an inflammation of the area adjoining the prosthetic...

...due to severe stress.

She needs to rest for a while.

How is she?

She's sleeping.

How could you hide this from me?

I feel so guilty, I don't even know what to do.

Are you sorry to her at least?

How can you say that?

*Noona asked me to keep it a secret from you.

*Noona: Older sister or older female

She didn't want you to pity her because of her leg.

She probably believed that you’d love her one day…

…if she gave you everything and protected you.

My father, my sister...

...and me...

I think that we all have a similar kind of love.

My mother left my father…

…and you're abandoning my sister.

What will happen to my love?

I already told you about Ae Ra.

I'm starting over with her.

I don't really care whether you are or not.

Do you really have to do this?

Ae Ra and I…

You said you’ll do your best to protect both of us...

...but...

...you don’t have to protect me.

I'm giving you up.

You better do your best against me if you want to protect Ae Ra...

...because...

...I’ll do whatever it takes to have her with me.

Min Young.

Min Young! Are you in the bathroom?

Min Young!

Why are you crying?

What happened?

What should I do?

What is it?

I’m pregnant.

I’m scared.

I’m so scared.

Oh my God!

You should be more careful about this.

How long it has been since?

It was just…

...once.

Give me that.

No, you aren’t pregnant.

What?

I'm not?

Then why did I miss my period this month?

I wasn't crying because I hate the idea of being pregnant.

It was just too sudden for me.

I like Su Chul a lot…

…so I was happy to think about...

...our baby together.

I’m sorry, Ae Ra.

Are you okay?

I’m okay.

Don’t cry.

The customer you're calling is unavailable.

Ae Ra.

Min Young.

My baby...

...was my only hope.

I really…

...really wanted to protect the baby...

...but I missed that chance.

Forget about it now.

How could I forget?

My baby would have nothing...

...if I forget it too.

I heard that the babies who leave this world while they’re inside their mothers…

...get to be with better parents right away.

Maybe your baby is already with good parents.

Okay?

Even when things were hard...

...I got through it...

…so I thought my baby would be able to do the same.

You couldn’t have done anything.

You didn’t even have time to rest...

...because you were so busy working to pay off the debt and earn rent.

I was a mother.

I should have protected my baby.

Min Young.

I...

I couldn’t sing songs to the baby.

I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I got home from work.

I couldn’t even let the baby hear it's father’s voice…

…because I couldn’t tell Jung Woo about the baby.

I should have told him the truth.

If I told him…

If I had told him that… Jung Woo could…

Don’t cry, Ae Ra.

Jung Woo.

Min Young.

I'm so sorry.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry…

Ae Ra.

Yes?

Ae Ra.

Yes?

I’m sorry.

I’ll be good to you.

I know it’s shameless...

...to say it now...

…but I don't know what else to say.

Jung Woo.

Yes.

What is it?

Don’t be good to me.

I…

...don’t know how you feel about me...

...or how I feel about you.

I'm not sure of anything...

...I’m scared.

Ae Ra.

- I… - We…

...failed once.

I don’t want to fail again.

I was hurt enough the first time.

I won’t hurt you.

I’ll never leave you alone.

Jung Woo.

I’m sorry.

You asked me to see how you were approaching me, but I can't.

Ae Ra.

Let's talk face to face.

No.

I like this way better.

It's more comfortable for me if I don't have to see you.

What can I do?

What do you want me to do?

Don’t do anything.

Just leave me alone.

I let them alone to give them a chance to make love.

Why are they talking so much?

Darn it. I don’t know.

Ae Ra.

Okay.

I’ll do as you want.

I’ll leave you alone if that’s what you want…

…and I won’t appear to you if you’re more comfortable this way.

Just don’t leave me.

Where’s CEO Cha?

Yes.

He had to go back to the office.

He's been waiting for you, so he just left.

Did he?

Yes, get some rest.

You're too stressed.

Go back to sleep.

The doctor said you have to rest for a while.

It’s okay.

I need to get myself together and go back to work.

Why?

Is it because you're worried about leaving Ae Ra and Jung Woo alone?

I've known...

...about Jung Woo and Ae Ra's relationship.

I also knew that Jung Woo loves Ae Ra.

Don't worry about them too much though.

I don’t want...

...them to get back together any more than you do.

The company has been going crazy.

We extensively advertised the luxury appraisal event...

...and canceled it at a moment's notice...

…with only a written apology.

Ms. Na Ae Ra was in charge of this event.

She’ll be censured for this, right?

Why do you care about that, Ms. Pi Song Hee?

Well.

It’s because...

...she's damaged our company's precious reputation.

There’ll be a meeting to establish countermeasures for this.

We’ll discuss how to settle that during the meeting.

Ae Ra, don’t worry too much.

An intern shouldn't be responsible for this in the first place.

Okay.

Cheer up.

Yes, this is Na Ae Ra.

I’m calling Tong Il Shilla Hotel's HR team.

Go ahead.

Wait a minute.

When will you be able to start working with us?

We’d like you to start as soon as possible.

Sure.

I'd like to start as soon as I wrap up my projects here.

Okay. Thank you.

As you know...

...Director Kook is absent today on medical leave.

We'll be having the meeting without here.

Well.

As I reported earlier…

…a fake handbag was displayed...

…where the authentic one should have been by someone’s mistake.

We announced the cancellation of the even just as it was starting.

You haven’t confirmed whether it was intentional or a mistake yet?

Intentional?

Excuse me.

I can’t imagine...

...who would do such a terrible thing intentionally.

It could have been someone under a competitor's orders.

I heard that the person in charge of this was an intern.

It could have been an act of retaliation...

…because she has a strong dissatisfaction with our company.

That doesn’t make sense.

Ms. Na Ae Ra...

...the person in charge of the event...

...was the one who detected the mistake right before the show.

As Director Jung said...

...if she were working for a competitor...

…or had something against the company...

...she wouldn't report the misplaced handbags.

Don’t you think so?

Our current priority is to figure out...

...a way to recover our damaged reputation…

…rather than figuring out who to blame for it.

I’m sorry that I’m a little late.

It doesn't seem you've heard yet.

Let me introduce myself.

I'll be Director Kook's substitute starting today.

My name is Kook Seung Hyun.

Ah, Kook Seung Hyun and Kook Yeo Jin!

How didn't I know they were siblings?

Did I ever do anything wrong to him?

I’m rather worried.

Boss, you knew about it, right?

Why is it so important?

Personally, I look down on people...

...who kowtow to certain executives for promotions.

Wow. God.

No wonder he looks so noble.

I would have been nice to him if I had known.

He’s coming!

I'm Director Kook's temporary substitute.

I understand that you might feel uncomfortable around me...

…since your intern suddenly became a director of the company.

No, it’s okay, director.

Please be as nice as you were to me since we've spent so much time together.

Of course!

Don’t pretend not to know me, even if we meet in the hallway.

Okay.

Especially you, Ms. Na Ae Ra.

Yes?

Stop pretending not to know me. I'd like a moment with you.

What’s going on between them?

Is he going to help her out with a promotion too...

...since they were close as interns?

Are you upset with me?

No, I’m not.

Are you really upset?

I’m sorry that I deceived you.

I just wanted to show myself to you without any disguises.

If I could have, I would have stayed your fellow intern until the end.

There's not anything else you're hiding, is there?

There's one more thing I haven't told you.

I know CEO Cha personally.

To be more precise, he’s like a family to me.

We've been close since I was young.

CEO Cha was my brother’s tutor…

…so I heard his business was suffering financially through him.

I also know that you're CEO Cha's...

...rather...

…Jung Woo’s ex-wife.

Actually, it was really confusing and difficult for me to think about...

...but I've finally made up my mind.

Jung Woo is precious to me, but…

...if I have to choose between you...

…my choice is you, Ae Ra.

I received some high quality wild ginseng as a gift recently.

I made a drink with it.

Would you like to try some?

It smells great.

Even though Director Kook is absent from work…

...it won't interfere with company operations.

Please reconsider you decision about Seung Hyun.

Let’s say...

...I take back my decision.

If Yeo Jin's not there...

...I have no one on my side in your company.

Who would represent me and protect my money?

It may not be a big deal for you…

...but we have standard procedures in the company to handle this kind of thing.

You suddenly appointed an intern as an executive director.

I'm sure you can imagine how disappointed the employees are with this.

Seung Hyung is a smart guy.

Give him a chance to earn his title by himself.

If you’re exercising your influence...

...as an investor...

...that's fine.

You aren't the only investor in this company.

I’ll let other investors exercise their influence too.

I'll call them up right away.

I already have.

There will be an investor's meeting tomorrow.

You don’t have time for this.

Why don’t you go get prepared for the meeting?

You're finally behaving like my son.

Don’t enjoy it too much.

CEO Cha’s new game development is starting rumors about our situation...

...because the game's release date has been delayed.

This happened even though you spent most of our investments on...

...the project because you insisted it was vital to the company's existence.

Do you remember that all of your investors opposed this project?

It’s time for you to take responsibility for it.

I will take responsibility.

As Director Kook said...

...I used most of your investments on this project.

The money has already been spent, so I ask you wait for the results.

We're almost finished developing the game.

It will be released soon after beta testing.

Releasing the game itself isn't the same thing.

Returning our investments and earning profit are the results we want.

So...

...when can we see the tangible result, CEO Cha?

I’ll return the investments...

...within three months of the release date…

…and I’ll make the first targeted profits...

...by the end of the year.

You’re making a very difficult commitment.

What?

You're very responsible, so I'm looking forward to the good news.

[Executive director Kook Yeo Jin]

[Executive director Kook Seung Hyun]

You should at least knock.

Did you barge in even when Yeo Jin was here?

Why are you doing this?

You're good with machines...

...but not so much with people.

That makes me think you're not a good CEO.

I'll do my job properly even if I got it in an unusual way.

By the way…

…I think this company is too focused on software development.

That’s because this company began as a program development company.

I’m thinking about focusing on design.

It's time for high technology to meet art, isn't it?

I’ll report you once I establish a plan.

Oh wait.

Also...

...I'm not doing this just because of my personal feelings...

...so I'd like you to think critically about it.

You’re good, Kook Seung Hyun.

Thank you…

…for telling me this isn't personal.

Maybe you’re right.

I'll take this opportunity...

...to asses myself as CEO.

I'll consider your plan, too.

Thank you for your advice.

Actually...

...I appreciate your kind advice...

...new Director Kook.

The investors are trying to kick out the CEO.

They're questioning his qualifications for the job.

His ongoing project has been having difficulties for a while.

He'll get fired if it gets any worse.

No way!

He established this company. How could they do that?

You don’t know the story of Steve Jobs?

He was world-famous, but got fired from his own company...

...after getting in trouble with the board too many times.

Sister-in-law!

Well, ex-sister-in-law.

Are the rumors true?

I mean about the company's crisis.

Ah.

We've always been surrounded by crisis...

...although this is the worst it's been since our founding.

Is Jung Woo okay?

Oh.

Ms. Na Ae Ra is really worried about you.

Is she?

How do you know that?

I ran into her on my way up.

Her face darkened when I told her that you’re having hard time.

I'm worrying her again.

Don’t do anything.

Aren’t you going to call her?

Father's really sick?

Okay, I'll come home tonight.

Haven’t you seen her?

Who do you think I am?

Wait a minute.

Oh, excuse me.

Ae Ra!

It's been a while.

Hey, get closer. I can’t see her well.

Good luck.

I almost got caught.

- What about Ae Ra? - Wait a second.

I’m sorry that I worried you.

She gets off work tonight.

Ah, I heard that her father is sick.

My father-in-law's sick?

How do you like your job on the customer service team?

It doesn't quite suit me...

What happened to father-in-law?

Oh.

It’s always the same.

He was bragging and showing off his strength in front of a bunch of women...

...and threw out his back.

Gosh.

So what can we do?

I'm officially working late...

…so there’s no one but Ae Ra to help at the restaurant.

By the way, my job is a little…

- *Hyung. - Yes?

*Hyung: Older brother or older male

Thank you.

- Oh, well. - Thank you.

Hey, hey! Where are you going?

Brother-in-law! About my job...

Ae Ra?

Brother? Brother-in-law?

Then Ms. Na Ae Ra is...

...the CEO's ex-wife?

Enjoy your meal!

My back hurts.

Mom, is there any more to serve?

Here it is.

You poor thing.

You didn't even rest after getting off work.

It’s okay.

Didn't you say there'd be a group of customers?

That’s right!

That’s why we’re short-handed today.

You father's just sitting and complaining about his back.

Hello.

I’ll do it.

It’s very hot.

I didn’t ask him to come over.

I need more dishes for table 5.

Okay.

Why don't you go rest some? I can handle this.

I have very strong arms.

You know that I’m strong, right?

I almost won the knee-wrestling match.

How does the person sitting here eat the roast chicken...

...if you put it there?

I’ll show you, so pay attention.

If I sit here...

...I can reach it because I have long arms...

...but if you did...

...you wouldn't get any because your arms are shorter.

How would you get any?

The dish isn’t important now.

Ae Ra…

This famous Gosi Rice Soup guarantees you'll pass the national exam.

Come on.

Then everyone who ate here would pass the exam.

I don't mean to show off...

...but don't you recognize me?

Huh?

Are you…?

You’re Cha Jung Woo, the CEO of DonTalk, right?

I’m a huge fan of yours.

Me too! You gave a lecture at our university.

Ah!

You were there too?

By the way...

...what are you doing here?

Are you volunteering?

It's because I passed the exam after eating this soup for a year.

I’m doing this in return for my success.

Sit, sit. Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

Give us more kimchi, please.

Hey.

I think the rumor is true…

…about D&T Soft's crisis.

Yeah, why else would their CEO be here doing this?

I know.

Kimchi!

I'll bring it right away.

Why is he doing this?

It's making me uncomfortable.

Don't you think he's doing it to reconcile with Ae Ra?

His effort is commendable.

I should let him join the game tonight.

What?

What are you talking about? No way.

Come on, Go-Do-Ri!

Then now...

Hurry up!

- It’s time to finish this. - Hey, Su-Chul.

Jung Woo! Do you have Kwang card?

- If you have it, play the Kwang card. - What are you talking about?

You want to play one favorable to me, right?

- Go-Do-Ri! - Kwang, kwang!

- Mom. - What?

If he plays the Kwang card, how much will you give Jung Woo?

What?

Jung Woo, if you play the card I want, I’ll give you a half of my earnings.

Half?

You shouldn’t believe what he says.

He always changes his mind later.

A man never goes back on his word.

- You heard him, right? - Yeah.

Then...

Father!

It’s Kwang!

Oh Jung Woo!

Come on!

Why didn't you play the Kwang earlier?

He’s good.

Oh look! Pi-Bak's over there.

You’ll have to pay me double.

- Help me out ok? - I’m leaving.

You're leaving already?

I have to work tomorrow.

Mom, I’m leaving now.

Okay, bye.

- Aren’t you going with me? - What?

- Oh, okay. - I'll go too. Just give me a second.

What are you talking about?

You can’t leave with all my money.

Sit, sit.

Deal another round. Su Chul, deal the cards.

You can’t leave after you won.

I’ll make you pay double too.

Hey.

Why didn't you go with Jung Woo?

I was close to tears seeing him the restaurant.

He was working so hard and trying his best to please you.

I know that you love him too.

What are you scared of?

Is it because of Seung Hyun?

Or is it Director Kook Yeo Jin?

Let’s just go, Min Young.

It must be so hard.

Mr. Kam.

I always have confidence in success...

...but I’m lost now.

I’m wondering...

...if I became too successful for my own good.

I don't know if I'm on the right track...

...and if this is the best way or not.

I’m always on your side, Mr. CEO.

I trust you the most after my children.

Aren’t you lonely, Mr. Kam?

You sent you beloved family somewhere far away.

I didn’t have a choice.

You miss them, right?

I miss them, but I have to endure it because I'm doing it for their sake.

Is that right?

I have to endure it even when I miss someone?

Is something else bothering you?

I have someone too.

I have to endure it, even though I miss her so much.

How did you get so drunk?

Let me go.

Let me go.

Hey!

I’m sorry.

Just let him lie down on the bed.

If you give him a pillow, he’ll fall asleep quickly.

Don’t worry about him. Just go back to sleep.

I’ll take care of him.

Hey!

What are you looking at when someone older is talking?

Oh you!

You must have worked out a little.

You!

He looks cute.

You kicked me?

Hey!

I got you.

You just wait here.

A pillow! Here's a pillow.

Ae Ra…

Ae Ra…

Ae Ra?

That means he still loves Ae Ra?

Ae Ra…

Ae Ra...

I brought you here for some refreshment...

...but all you've done is sigh.

It’s nice to be here.

If it bothers you, just ignore it.

Ignore whoever I am and whatever relationships I have.

Just pretend you don't know.

It’s okay for me to forget about it forever.

How can I pretend not to know after I already know?

Because nothing's different even though you know.

Seung Hyun.

No, Director Kook.

Oh, it's melting now.

Eat up.

Don’t disturb my work.

Okay.

Look.

Oh?

It’s amazing, isn’t it?

It has a meaning, too.

See? You’re good at pretending.

My mother gave me this ring.

Whether it’s the or love...

...I like things that are simple and easy.

I don't like things that are complicated and difficult.

Since becoming an executive...

...I'm trying to start a project I've been considering.

I want to highlight the company with design.

You've had a lot of ideas since becoming an executive.

You look good now.

Help me, Ae Ra.

You energize my work.

I don’t know anything about art.

I'm even more ignorant about design.

You’re already doing it.

You already inspire me and my work.

Surprise!

This is the tab you got stuck on your finger.

Is it?

How did you do this?

See? You inspire me to work.

Seung Hyun.

I passed the job interview for the hotel.

I know...

...but the choice is yours.

I’m just asking you to give me a chance.

Mr. CEO.

Do you feel alright?

Yes.

I’m sorry.

I should have been more considerate.

I didn’t want you to know about my leg…

…because I wanted you...

...to see me as an ordinary woman.

I'm glad...

...that you're looking at me more warmly than I expected.

I’ll leave the hospital as soon as possible.

Go to the U.S. with me after that.

I think we'll be able to get some funding there.

I’m sorry, Yeo Jin.

I…

...have made you suffer by telling you...

...that I appreciated you always being with me.

Yeo Jin.

I can’t be a good man to you.

I’m sorry…

...that I'm telling you this so late.

I sincerely appreciate you and what you've done for me.

This part's gone bad again.

This is the spot I cut before, right?

Yes, I think so.

I don’t know why it keeps going bad even when we're taking such good care of it.

What do you think the reason is?

It’s because my approach was wrong.

It's useless to just cut off a leaf...

...when the root is rotten.

It’s time to throw it away!

I want all of the money I invested in CEO Cha's company...

...back right now!

The door is closing.

Hello.

Okay.

Are you alright?

I didn't want you to see me like this...

…but I asked you to come because I have something to tell you.

Have a seat.

Do you know...

...what kind of dangerous situation CEO Cha is in?

He could lose his company.

What are you talking about?

Don’t pretend that you’re so naive you don’t know anything about it.

It disgusts me.

I…

You’ll ruin Jung Woo eventually.

You’re incapable of supporting him at all.

Leave him right now.

Stop hesitating and just leave him!

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Right now!

Get away!

Let me go!

- Let me go! - Stop it.

Seung Hyun.

What will I do…

...if Jung Woo leaves me?

You…

Are you telling me that you don’t mind...

...losing everything you've accomplished?

I don’t mind.

You’re right.

I might collapse right here if you recall your investment.

I may not be able to make a comeback...

...but I still can't trade my marriage...

...for your money.

CEO Cha.

Please save me.

You’re the only one who can save my Yeo Jin.

Chairman Kook.

Yeo Jin’s leg…

She lost it...

...because of me.

She only got over it because of you.

She may try to kill herself again...

...if you leave her.

Please save her again like you did three years ago.

If you do...

...I’ll give you everything I have.

If you save her one more time...

...I’ll give you everything I have.

Stand up, Mr. Chairman.

I have nothing but money to give you.

Please have mercy on me.

Please save me one more time!

I’m sorry, Chairman.

I can't change my mind.

Even if you lose everything?

Still?

Yes.
