Episode 7

I think you don't dislike me.

Yeah, I don't dislike you.

Well, that's good enough for me.

Jeong Min,

I... will approach by only one more step.

♫ I open my eyes to watch you, did you really leave? ♫

♫ In all the looks you ever gave me, did one of them say you loved me? ♫

♫ Even if another love comes along, I don't think it will be so easy ♫

♫ It's so hard to endure, I'm waiting for a fateful kind of destiny ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you while I hate you ♫

♫ But I think I loved you too much ♫

♫ I will regret that as much as I long to see you ♫

Why?
♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you ♫

Why aren't you saying anything?

What do you want to hear from me?

Does being kissed by me make you feel so angry and mistreated?

Of course, my behavior was not gentle.

But I am not going to apologize.

That kiss was genuine.

I know, I understand that you are sincere.

- That's why—
- So are you afraid?

Of getting hurt?

Yes. I'm afraid of getting hurt.

And I'm also afraid of hurting someone again.

- Ji Eun...
- Listen to what I have to say.

In the past, I really loved a man.

I thought I would die without him.

But... even though I loved him that much, I abandoned him.

Why did you do that?

I couldn't handle him.

I can't handle you, Jeong Min.

That's not because I've experienced divorce,

or because there is a financial difference between you and me.

Are you saying I'm disqualified from being your man because I'm not sincere?

It's not because of you, Jeong Min.

It's probably because of me.

Don't look for an excuse to run away.

Can't you just acknowledge me?

Didn't you notice?

It's already too late for me to hesitate.

I... want to do the thing called "love" with you.

Let's do the thing... called love.

It's late. Please, let's go home.

We should go.

My feet are stuck to the ground.

Come here. Let me hug you.

About when will you come near me?

All right, that's fine. Until we get close, I'll keep coming near you.

What a fate!

The CEO of Seolin Group, who is Seo's father,

is probably your father's classmate from high school.

That's right! Seolin Textile was the previous Seolin Group.

Who knows... that family might approve of you.

They will know very well how our family was before.

Still, they might not approve of you because you went through a divorce.

However, no parents can defeat their kids.

Look at me. I couldn't block you so you ran away and married on your own.

Make sure to hold onto Seo.

I don't intend to marry again.

How on earth long do you want to live like this?

By any chance, are you regretting you split up with him?

I still think I did very well, even in the dream as well, that I made you divorce him.

If it hadn't been for him, your dad wouldn't have gone absurdly like that.

Then we wouldn't have ended up like this either.

Just thinking about that bastard makes me jump out of bed, even in the middle of a deep sleep.

How do you feel about showing up after 10 years and getting involved in my life again?

Please, let's stop. I don't want to fight with you.

Do you even intend to marry him?

A man like Director Seo, who has many good conditions, was the one that your family wanted to have.

Ah, that's enough!

Last time, they were so-so. Are they fresh this time?

Hello, how can you say that when you look at these? They were just caught and brought in.

Don't you remember saying the same thing last time?

Don't try to fool me because I'm in a wheelchair.

Aigoo, how can you be so mean when you look pretty?

What are you doing? Load it into the car quickly!

They didn't put a rear-view mirror in for you to sneak looks at me.

Where should I take you?

I brewed some coffee.

Do you... still like Blue Mountain?

Come here and have a seat. You seem to have something to say to me.

How strangely we're tangled up with each other.

That's what I've been thinking.

It's better for Director Seo not to know about the relationship between you and me.

For whose sake?

Do you think Director Seo will still like you after he finds out your ex-husband is me?

Stop pretending to worry about me.

Let's be frank.

Is it not for my sake, but for your sake?

I can't say it's not for me.

It might rather be me who doesn't want the truth revealed.

Don't worry about it.

I have no intention of being an obstacle to your splendid future.

- I'm so touched.
- I'm so disappointed.

I always disappoint you.

You always intrude into my life and make me ludicrous.

It was not easy for me to come this far. After being abandoned by you—

Don't say "being abandoned."

I just left.

At that time, both of us were irresponsible and foolish.

I don't recall being irresponsible.

But only... I know the foolishness of my loving you very well.

However, 10 years ago, there was a lady who said she would jump off a cruise ship.

That woman, called Lee Ji Eun, was pretty cute even though she was immature at the time.

A man at that time called Jang Se Hoon

was pretty sincere even though he didn't have many things.

Well, how about me now?

Ji Eun?

Why... are you here?

Your friend came here as a house helper today.

Helper?

Are you doing a helper job?

Really? So are you?

What kind of situation is this?

Didn't you know this was Will's house before you started working?

I'll prepare breakfast.

I have to get ready for work.

Why didn't you tell me that you were a helper?

Does it hurt your ego?

It does hurt my ego.

Girl, what is there to hurt your ego? We're friends!

You haven't had breakfast yet, right?

No, I'm fine. Just give me a cup of coffee.

Okay. Just a minute.

How did you know that my Will was left-handed?

You said today was your first day.

Yes... the last time, we...

Yeah, right. We had dinner together.

You notice things really well.

What brings you here? So early in the morning, without calling?

Do we need to call each other beforehand?

I went to the Dawn Market. The abalone was very good.

Was it?

My Will dislikes fried eggs. Can you scramble them?

Just put it here. I'm fine.

He is very kind. A little brusque, but he's perfect.

Are you sick? You look sallow.

I couldn't sleep well last night.

Were you with Jeong Min?

Are you acting coy or are you naive?

We can't be naive at our age!

By the way, does Jeong Min know that you're Will's helper?

Then was I the only one who didn't know?

Interview! I met Jeong Min here when I had an interview.

I only heard the new President of Seolin Group would live here at that time.

I see.

It's my phone. It must be my father.

What are you going to do?

You made me even lie to Mi Ran.

Well, what do we do now?

But you don't need to care about us, Mi Ran and me.

I don't want to be involved at all in your relationship.

But Mi Ran is my friend.

Your boyfriend is my company owner's son.

Just as I don't care about you and Director Seo, isn't it fair you do the same about Mi Ran and me?

Things got complicated, but I like it. It thrills me.

I'll stay here a while. I'll have her prepare the abalone, and I need to check the grocery list.

Suit yourself.

Are you just leaving?

Meet me at lunchtime.

Really? Then I'll call you later.

It's so lucky that I have you as his helper.

I don't like it when a woman comes to his house, even if it's his helper.

Your sister made tofu stew, your favorite. Why didn't you eat it?

I'm on a diet.

When I told you not to eat, you ate no matter what. Now when I tell you to eat, you don't eat no matter what!

I don't know how I bore you as my daughter.

Mrs. Jo, before long, you'll be proud to have me as your daughter,

so just wait a little.

Really? Do you think it's possible?

Of course, it is. Anything's possible.

You're right. Anything's possible.

I'm Director only on my card.

What is it?

We can't withdraw just because the situation is unfavorable to us.

If we accept their offer, we'll never lead this contract.

Either we have to fight and win, or we surrender and leave.

Those are the only two options.

I agree with you, but it's much too risky.

Managing Director Park, a company's prospects depend on how actively the business team is working.

This M&A is CEO Jang's project. Do whatever you want.
(M&A stands for Merger and Acquisition)

Let's just follow his decisions.

You know I'm expecting a lot from you, right? Show us what you've got.

Director Seo is absent again today.

If he's half as good as you, I'll retire and enjoy my life.

He'll get ahold of himself someday.

Now he's showing his true colors.

If he can put his son in your place, he'll ignore you completely.

When situations change, what you said will change too. That's what people are like.

I think we need to take the exchange rate into consideration.

Make your skirt just 5 cm shorter.

Why are you hiding those pretty legs?

Are you on your way to lunch?

This is not your playground. Don't you know that, Director Seo?

You have to work when you're at work. If you don't want to work, don't come at all.

Do one or the other.

I want to do that, but the stubborn chairman doesn't approve of that.

You always make excuses.

Do you have hard feelings for me?

I'm not your enemy.

We're not enemies. We're on the same side.

If our thoughts are different, we are enemies.

At least attend board meetings from now on.

This is a warning. Next time, it will be a dismissal notice.

Dismissal? You are very arrogant.

There are two things you cannot get back.

The past and your words.

I admit that I said something wrong. I apologize.

But you have to admit that you were arrogant and aggressive.

Don't disregard me.

I'm a easygoing person, but even I have things that I can't back off from.

You know what they say. Letting them win is true winning.

Don't care about him.

I'll be back after having lunch with my Will.

You don't need to do that.

Why? Are you uncomfortable if I stay here?

No, it's not that.

I'll come back. But I can't guarantee you.

Work hard.

It is difficult for us if you just blindly ask to see the president.

Until you tell me who you are, and why you want to meet him, I cannot allow you in.

You are being so inflexible, young lady.

Ma'am! If you keep this up, I'll have to call security.

What's going on, Miss Kim?

I know we're not supposed to see each other, but I came because I had something to say to you.

What is it you needed to say?

I'll be straightforward with you.

Our Ji Eun is in a relationship with Director Seo.

This company's owner's son. And, of course, they'll get married.

So, don't you think we'll need to keep your relationship with Ji Eun a secret from Director Seo?

I'm sure this will be beneficial for you as well.

If Director Seo finds out, aside from our Ji Eun's situation, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you as well?

No matter how successful you are now, if you look at it carefully, aren't you just a salaried employee at this company?

If you're going to ask for a favor, you should do it politely.

I'll also add this for your reference.

I don't really care if my past relationship with Ji Eun is exposed.

This position has nothing to do with being Lee Ji Eun's ex-husband, that's why.

Do you understand?

President, you need to leave for the Incheon factory now.

I think you'll need to leave now.

Don't worry.

Do you think I'll try to block Ji Eun from her happiness?

To have such an ill-fated relationship like this.

- Mother!
- Oh...

What brings you here?

There is someone I know here, that's why.

Young Eun, Ji Eun's younger sister, makes appearances for the home shopping program here from time to time.

Ah, I see. I've met Young Eun-sshi before as well. (Ms.Young Eun)

What do you mean Young Eun-sshi (formal)? You can just call her Young Eun (casually).

Let's see each other next time.

I will take you home.

No, it's okay. You're a busy person.

I have to go to the factory with our president. I'll have the company car take you home.

You are going home, aren't you?

No, it's okay. I see a lot of taxis out there. Bye!

- You did this on purpose to cause trouble for me, right?
- What do you mean?

You said something about a swing going back and forth, and told me to play hard to get!

- I heard you learned this from PD Nam in college.
- Ah.

- I forgot, haha.
- You forgot?

Do you know how much PD Nam hit my head for trying to pull a stunt??

Look! Look right here! I even have a lump here! Right here!

Oh, it looks painful.

I told you it hurts! How can you press it like that?!

Do you even know anything about women?

Hey, look here. I'm an expert when it comes to women.

Yuh Jin, when it comes to the relationship between a man and a woman,

it's like a mountain.

- A mountain?
- Right!

The more desperate you are, you more should go around it.

Anyway, you should just leave your relationship with Bok Ja as is for now.

Now that I think about it, in order for Bok Ja to develop some romantic feelings for you...

Crucial opportunity. Yes, you'll need a crucial opportunity.

Crucial opportunity, you say.

How do you do that?

What do I need to do?

This guy... Just stay still. I'm thinking really hard for you.

But why do you like Bok Ja so much?

Look at this clueless lawyer...

She's pretty.

- She's pretty?
- Yes.

I guess relationships form when one is blinded by love.

Tell me what I need to do!

Wait a moment. I think someone is calling me.

Did something bad happen?

No.

You seem gloomy and you haven't said a word. You're the one who called me out.

Was I?

Oh! Are you going to have Ji Eun keep coming?

It's a bit weird, since she's dating Jeong Min.

I can't understand Jeong Min.

How can he pretend not to know when his girl is coming to your house as a helper?

Work is work.

Then you're not uncomfortable?

You're really weird today. Are you upset with me?

Why do you keep thinking I'm upset with you whenever I'm quiet?

It's about time we became comfortable with one another.

Then are you saying I'm making you uncomfortable?

Let's just eat.

Are you tired of me, by any chance?

You're aware of this, too, right? That you've become different since we came to Korea.

I haven't changed. I just hope that you'll change.

I suffocate every time you're like this.

Ji Eun, can you give me some painkillers?

Does it hurt a lot?

More than my head, my heart hurts.

Since your whole body is sore and in pain when your heart is tormented.

What should I do?

I think my Will has another woman.

I feel so insecure lately, I can't stand it.

I know. He doesn't love me with his heart but with determination.

But I thought his heart would change after he made his decision.

You must love him a lot. So just trust him.

You don't know. There's a crack forming in our relationship right now.

Of course, he denies it, but he's changed since we came to Korea.

Even during lunch today, he called me out to eat, but didn't even say a word,

and just gave me a dissatisfied look.

He's definitely hiding something from me.

Don't be so sensitive.

I know I'm not mistaken.

Do you think he's meeting his ex-wife, by any chance?

Their relationship has already ended. I'm sure that's not it.

Really? You don't think that's it, do you?

He wouldn't have any feelings left for a woman who left him.

Ji Eun, I won't give him up to any other woman.

You were here.

Want to go for a walk?

These two rails have their own paths.

That's why these two never can or will meet.

They must maintain their exact distance from each other,

in order to create a safe track for the train. Don't you think?

It sounds like you're telling me not to mess with you.

I know you didn't use any underhanded tricks in your succession, President Jang.

So I know that a guy like me doesn't suit your taste.

I don't tolerate anything that compromises the rules.

I hope you will use your own skills, not your status as the CEO's son,

to succeed in Seolin.

Don't try to tame me.

I live my life according to how I feel at each moment.

I know well how free-spirited you are.

Everyone wishes to live freely.

However, an organization does not need a free-spirited person.

So, are you saying you won't accept me?

We're supposed to accommodate one another. So cut me some slack.

Just know this one thing.

I have never yielded to anyone before.

Why is she so clingy?

I told her I have someone new, but she still doesn't get it.

It'll just take a minute and a half.

You really have a knack for tiring a person out.

It's because you won't meet with me, Oppa. Why are you like this?

Do you still not get it? I clearly told you. I'm seeing someone.

You're angry, right? If you are, then all you have to do is turn around and leave.

Go.

I was precise, right? 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Let's leave.

Hey, fool. I asked you, "Did we get the product list?" earlier.

When? You just said, "We got it."

When did I? I asked, "Did we get it?" like this,

not "we got it." Do you not know the difference between a question and a statement? Are you an idiot?

I'm an idiot, a real idiot. Did you just figure that out?

I must be an idiot, since I'm always cleaning up after your mess, PD Nam.

Strictly speaking, it's your job to take care of the product list.

Did I say something wrong?

Did I say something wrong?

You're right!

When did you get here?

Just now.

Ah, I sent Ji Eun home early.

Since I wanted to speak with you privately.

Go ahead and change first. You need to eat dinner.

If you want to take a break for a while, you should do that.

By the way, Team Leader Lee, I don't have any substitute to work at the Seolin President's house.

Anyhow, please take care of that house for this week.

Hello?

What happened to your voice? Are you sick?

I'm not sick.

Right now?

It's too late today—

Why on earth don't you want to see me? I really can't understand.

Who is that woman?

What do you mean, "that woman"?

The thought crossed my mind that you might have a woman.

Tell me.

I have no such woman.

Well, since you came to Korea, have you been thinking of your ex-wife? Is that why you're acting like this?

You can't forget her yet, can you?

There is nothing left to forget.

By any chance, is she still single?

She doesn't seem to be single.

How did you find out?

Did you meet her? When did you meet—

Please stop it.

I'm sorry for pressing you to answer.

I'm getting nervous that you might change your mind.

If you change your mind, you'll break the promise you made.

I pray every day... for you not to change your mind.

Nothing will happen between us. Nothing.

Can I sleep here tonight?

I have to get up early tomorrow. I have a golfing appointment with the CEO.

We aren't married yet, so we have to keep—

I just said it without meaning anything.

Ah, really. The thought occurred to me when I looked around the house,

I should leave my stuff here.

Stuff?

Other women may stop by this house. That's to warn them that you have me next to you.

If I even lose you, I won't have anything left to lose.

You even haven't come near me today.

Did something happen?

No, nothing.

By chance, did Mi Ran look down on you because you're working as a helper?

I wasn't being looked down upon, but speaking honestly, I felt some stress.

You felt some stress...

Wait here for a short time. Don't budge an inch.

What is that?

It's a panacea (cure-all).

Loss of appetite, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, brain disease, and even cancer...

Do you know what the cause is of all those diseases?

It's just stress.

The egg is the best solution for releasing stress.

Here, throw them mercilessly.

Hurry up and throw them.

It's okay. I'll wash the car anyhow.

♫ I've just tried to be the man you need ♫

♫ Now love and hate ♫

Like this.

Oh, are you saying you don't trust me?

First throw them, then see whether it relieved your stress or not.

Hurry.

♫ When you have never needed anyone ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need, but you ♫

♫ When you have never needed anyone ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need ♫

♫ In silence, the hidden memories awaken me ♫

It's stained with egg.

I'm touched right now.

When I'm with you, I feel... refreshed.

So I haven't been going it alone? You can't fake closeness.

I'm not qualified to be close with you, Jeong Min.

Qualified? Do you need a license to love me?

Jeong Min, love is nothing, so—

It's not that you don't like me, but you're afraid of me, isn't that it?

Hiding your feelings is cheating yourself.

If you need time to love me, I'll willingly wait for you.

But acknowledge that our relationship is developing.

By the way, your mother came by the office this afternoon.

Why did you do it?

What did I do?

Why did you go there to see him?

What did you talk to him about?

Are you asking me because you don't know the reason? I told him not to tell Seo about your past with him!

Why? How did you know?

I just found out.

Could you have been with that jerk just now?

Are y-you crazy?

Don't you even dream of seeing him again!

Why aren't you answering me? Do I have to tell you why?

It's all my fault that Dad died, and we ended up living like this.

So don't blame him.

Are you taking his side right now?

I really wish your father would revive! So I can hear what he'd say after he saw you acting like this!

- Good night.
- How can I sleep now?

Don't say a word to Seo about that bum!

If he found out that bum was the one who lived with you,

he might not like you!

Ah, my head hurts!

Wench.

I don't know... I think Mi Ran is a problem, but Director Seo is a bigger problem.

It could be a problem because I do have to see him at work every day.

If he finds out the ex-husband of the woman he likes is me,

he'll surely feel bitter somehow.

Is that why you were in a bad mood with Director Seo this morning?

I admit I was in a bad mood.

But I won't be like that again.

You know I can't afford to hang on playing frivolous emotional games.

Yeah. You're right.

By the way, why is Jang Se Hoon's life always like this?

Indeed, your company in the USA was the same.

When the technology stock market collapsed, the investors suddenly pulled their money out.

That's why you became like this. Seriously...

Why is Jang Se Hoon's life always twisted like this?

I've probably committed a lot of sins.

What do you mean you've committed a lot of sins? You haven't committed even a single traffic violation.

Hyung, I've committed a lot of sins.

Sin to shout toward heaven, sin to try to own a whole world...

And what else is there...?

Hey, hey. Stop drinking. You said you would play golf with CEO Seo early tomorrow morning, didn't you?

I'll just drink this.

Se Hoon, do you know what is more dangerous than knowing secrets?

Disclosing them.

For Ji Eun's sake, don't say anything.

To be honest, it's not only because of Ji Eun.

But it's also because of me, myself, who doesn't want to be in trouble because of a woman in the past.

I think I should write a book in the future;

the title should be "An Absurd Pair of Couples."

Who are you doing this for? Who are you playing golf with?

With that foxy girl living in Bangbae-dong?

Here you go again.

Doesn't your mouth hurt after nagging me all night?

Just because I live quietly, do you think I don't know anything?

You're completely into that foxy girl in Bangbae-dong.

- You're smiling?
- Well, should I cry?

I know you're a womanizer, but this is too much!

I just separated you from that redhead in Nonhyun-dong. And you found another one so soon?

Who am I to you? Why did you marry me, then?

Aihew! When was it that you made such a fuss begging me to let you into this house?

Honey, then please put me in the family registry.

I told you from the start I wouldn't do that.

Then what am I living for?

You're always with other women, and I don't have any offspring.

Honey, let's have a son.

You'd better take some herbal medicine. No matter what, it doesn't seem you have good sense.

Honey...

Honey!

You know the old saying, "Mistresses can't tolerate another mistress." Old sayings are always true.

What?

Oh, good shot!

President Jang, your shot was very powerful.

I think I'll have to buy dinner tonight.

It's only been seven holes. Don't jump to conclusions.

Is that right? Do you know what the most important thing to a business man is?

Judging the situation.

Judging the situation is also important when you take the approach shot.

That's right. Either you attack the pin directly, reading the green,

or you lob and roll the ball, or roll it to the pin.

Give me the sand wedge.

Nice one!

I judged really well.

You also judged well when you came into my company.

Of course, I get to have a share of your company in America.

It wasn't easy for me to pay back all your tremendous debt.

Isn't that right?

Yes, of course, that's right.

CEO, "Thank me for paying your debt and work hard until your death,"

is that what you want to say?

Don't worry. I'll work hard for Seolin Group.

Yes.

Ji Eun, where are you?

You came?

I'm coming here too because of you.

Since you're here in Will's house, I'm so glad I'm not bored anymore.

I'll give you some coffee. I just made it.

No, it's fine.

I already had two cups of coffee at home.

Let's look at these, which one looks good?

All of them look good.

How about this one?

It's okay.

I have to dry the laundry.

Your Love, Ji Eun.

Be sure to call me.

Why are you so surprised?

Do you feel guilty toward me?
