Choi Seo Hyung's name...

is about to make it to the top of the real-time search list.

I sent the press release regarding Choi Seo Hyung...

and Mo Tae Woong's divorce suit.

Someone's cell phone keeps vibrating.

Don't you know how to knock? What do you think you're doing?

She just asked you a question!

Why do I see my cell phone number on this phone?

That's nonsense.

Then why are you trying to take it from me?

You little...

You framed me for plagiarism, and I want you to undo it.

What if I refuse?

If you don't, I really won't forgive you this time.

What do you think you can do to me?

You can go ahead and see for yourself.

Why did you... Why...

No, ma'am!

Why?

We need to get rid of the evidence.

People might doubt you even more if the evidence disappears.

So what? What do you suggest I should do?

So Yu.

Yes, Ms. Kang.

What are you doing right now?

The plagiarism is a setup.

A setup?

I called the woman that claimed to have gotten her design plagiarized,

and Mr. Choi's cell phone started ringing.

What?

Are you saying Mr. Choi set you up?

Does he resent you or something?

The people in Ms. Hong's office work like her puppets.

So what's your point?

Are you saying Ms. Hong...

planned everything on purpose so she could get rid of you?

That's absurd. That would make the company lose so much money.

That's the kind of person she is.

So are you just going to stay here?

That's right. I won't leave until this misunderstanding gets resolved.

Follow me.

Plagiarism?

I was going to handle it on my own,

because I didn't want to bother you.

But I'm worried that So Yu might get the wrong idea again.

Are you saying So Yu plagiarized someone else's design?

We don't know yet.

But that person sent us an email saying she'll file a lawsuit.

We already promoted the design...

saying it was chosen by Woodroffe.

How embarrassing would it be if people find out about this?

So what's the issue?

So Yu was told to work in the suburbs until we sort this out,

but she keeps refusing and causing a fuss.

So Yu's doing that?

Why are we here?

I feel like we need Solomon's wisdom.

You and Ms. Hong keep insisting that you're both right.

And someone needs to be the mediator.

What's wrong? Are you having second thoughts?

No, I'm not. Let's go inside.

So are you asking me to be the mediator?

What she says doesn't make sense.

But I'm not in the position where I can pick a side.

My mom just told me about what happened.

Why are you refusing to go to the suburbs?

- Because it's a setup. - A setup?

The plagiarism never existed in the first place.

What do you mean?

I called the person that claimed to have gotten her design plagiarized,

and Mr. Choi, who works for Ms. Hong, had that cell phone.

What? Are you serious?

Yes.

It was a misunderstanding.

You know it wasn't a misunderstanding.

Every single person in that room saw what happened.

Mr. Choi's cell phone...

started ringing when I called, and you saw that.

Why do you keep lying?

Didn't you hear what Mr. Choi said?

It was a call from someone else.

What are you talking about?

I saw my number on that cell phone.

Then why don't you call that number again?

Obviously, no one will pick up.

If no one answers,

we can bring Mr. Choi here and interrogate him.

You should try calling that number first...

while we're present.

Put the phone on speaker.

Hello?

We're calling from LX Group.

Are you the person that sent us an email...

saying your design got plagiarized?

Yes.

But you should talk to my attorney instead of calling me like this.

Hello?

Are you really the person that sent the email?

Yes.

Who are you?

This isn't your cell phone, is it?

You got it from Mr. Choi.

I'm sure I saw him with the cell phone.

So why are you answering?

I told you to talk to my attorney.

I can't believe you hired a fake in that short amount of time.

No wonder you were so confident when you told me to make the call.

You didn't even check properly...

but kept blaming it on Mr. Choi all this time?

I'm definitely sure I saw Mr. Choi with that cell phone.

He had that cell phone. I'm serious.

You saw everything.

So Yu, I know you're going through a hard time these days...

because of what happened to your mom, sister, and Seo Jun.

But even so, don't you think you're crossing the line?

I mean, it just doesn't make sense.

Why would Ms. Hong fabricate the plagiarism...

when it'll obviously make the company lose a lot of money?

Just so she could get rid of a contract employee?

Se Hyun.

Anybody would think that she's being absurd.

So don't tell me you're doubting me again.

Tell him the truth.

Stop trying to come between me and my son...

and just tell him the truth.

Why do you keep doing this to me?

What did I do to you?

I'm the one who should be asking you that question.

Haven't you had enough?

What do you think you're doing?

This is not where you can throw a tantrum.

My number really popped up on Mr. Choi's phone.

Then you should've either taken that from him...

or taken a photo.

- Do you have proof? - They took the phone away from me.

You talk as if they're a bunch of gangsters.

I'll look into it and find out what happened in detail.

Se Hyun, don't tell me you believe her right now.

If you look into it, and it turns out that she lied,

I really won't let her off the hook.

So Yu.

Yes, sir.

Regardless of whether you plagiarized that design or not,

your team manager has the power to appoint you...

to another team. Did you not know that?

Pardon?

You should work at the new store that's about to open soon.

Ms. Kang, is there a problem?

No, sir.

You should all leave now.

Ms. Kim, can you come inside for a moment?

Sir, you wanted to see me?

There's something you need to do for me at the security office.

The security office?

Why does So Yu have to go to the new store...

when our team is also short on manpower?

It's the chairman's orders.

Why would the chairman give orders regarding a contract employee?

Maybe he's keeping an eye on her because she's so competent.

(So Dam)

So Yu, have you heard anything about Ms. Choi?

The articles on the web keep saying the same thing.

I was wondering...

if you heard anything new from the executive director.

So Dam, listen to me carefully.

Tell Ms. Choi that she shouldn't trust Ms. Hong.

I think Ms. Hong is the one who made her go to jail...

and the source of all those articles on the web.

So tell her to never trust her.

Seo Hyung!

Hey, eat this.

Why would I eat this?

You have to eat this when you return from jail.

- Have a bite. - No.

This isn't just ordinary tofu. It's special.

Seo Kyung, what was it again?

A tofu master made it with Korean beans.

Yes, I prepared this high-quality tofu just for you.

- Try it. - Is it fun to make fun of me?

Do you want to go there again?

- What? - If you don't,

you should at least have a bite.

Here.

Jin Bok! She just had a bite!

What did I tell you? I told you that I'll make her eat it.

Why did you ignore the subpoena?

You're not supposed to just throw them in the trash.

I never even saw that subpoena, Dad.

I heard you got arrested...

because they kept sending it to you, but you never showed up.

Dad, don't you know me? I get scared really easily.

If I got a subpoena,

I would've told Ms. Hong or Attorney Kim a long time ago.

I wouldn't have just stayed still.

Where's Seo Jun? Why isn't he here?

He won't come out of his room.

Did you tell him that I'd be here?

No.

I felt sorry to even open the door...

because he seemed so depressed.

None of us can go in that room.

Even so, how could you just leave him alone?

Just leave him be.

He'll need some time to think by himself.

Why would you let him think by himself?

He's not an orphan. Why would you leave him all alone?

You guys are so weird.

Listen to your father.

I know Seo Jun.

He's really sensitive, and he gets scared very easily.

Let me go.

Seo Jun.

Seo Jun. It's me, Seo Kyung.

Are you sleeping?

I can't believe you still...

pull the covers over your head when you're sick.

If you don't show yourself, I'll start tickling your feet.

One, two...

What's wrong?

Why are you crying all by yourself?

What are you doing...

in the dark?

Seo Jun.

Seo Jun. My goodness.

My gosh.

I'm surprised you stayed by her side all night.

You're the best, Tae Woong.

You can answer it here. We're family.

Hey, So Dam.

Right now?

I'm at my father-in-law's house.

What are you talking about?

My sister told me to tell Ms. Choi...

that she should never trust Ms. Hong.

My sister said Ms. Choi should be careful...

because she thinks Ms. Hong is the one who made her go to jail...

and the source of all the articles on the web.

Ms. Hong?

But she was the one who got her out of jail.

That's absurd.

Okay, I'll tell her that.

What about Ms. Hong?

Ms. Hong might be the one who sent Seo Hyung to jail,

so she just told me to be careful.

What?

Who would say something so absurd?

Wasn't that So Dam?

She's So Yu's younger sister, the surrogate.

Her sister apparently told her to tell Seo Hyung.

What does she know?

Don't you know...

that if we don't trust Ms. Hong,

there will be a problem with the entire company?

That's not all.

What are we going to do about Seo Jun's cure?

Her personal grudge against Ms. Hong...

will end up ruining our family.

I also think Ms. Hong is a little weird.

What?

What do you know?

I was grateful for everything she did at first,

but she really is a little weird.

Just like what my aunt said, I think she wanted...

to come between you and me...

by telling me how my mom ended up dying.

Shut it.

I can't believe you're adding onto this.

You good-for-nothing brats...

are trying to ruin my family.

Your aunt told you to do this, didn't she?

Did she ask you to come between me and Ms. Hong?

Why would she come between you and Ms. Hong?

What's that all about?

So Dam just called.

And she said you should be careful of Ms. Hong...

because she's the one...

who sent you to jail and is making the press write articles about you.

From this moment on, I'm not going to forgive anyone...

that badmouths Ms. Hong.

Why are you all trying to slander that woman who does nothing...

but care for the company and our family?

Ms. Hong.

Yes, sir.

I want you to open my safe.

Sir.

I'll put my life on the line to save Seo Jun.

No.

There's no way.

She would never betray me.

How is Seo Jun doing?

What have you been doing?

How could you leave him all by himself...

just because he won't come out of his room?

Dad told me that I should let him have some time to think.

That's nonsense.

When I went inside, he was crying underneath the covers.

He was crying?

But then again, he must be really scared.

It's not like he can get surgery,

and there's no definite hope that he'll get better.

We should make So Yu take care of him or something.

I don't think we should let him be all by himself.

Are you going to make her quit work and hire her as a caregiver?

We can reappoint her as Seo Jun's secretary.

He broke up with her because he didn't want to break her heart.

So I'm sure he will never let that happen.

How about we ask So Yu for a favor?

But that's not what Seo Jun wants.

The patient is always the king.

Just let him have what he wants.

So Yu's weird too.

I can't believe she never showed up...

just because he asked her to break up with her.

My gosh, that brat.

(I'm working at the new store that's about to open.)

It's not working again.

(My So Yu)

I'm working at the new store that's about to open.

I just thought I should tell you just in case you might be...

waiting for me in front of my office with a cup of coffee.

(I figured I should send some photos to motivate you.)

I figured I should send some photos to motivate you.

I get that you're trying to break up for my sake.

But I'm not grateful for the gesture at all.

So call me.

I miss you.

(Ms. Hong tried to kick me out of the company...)

Ms. Hong tried to kick me out of the company...

by saying I plagiarized someone else's design.

But I totally caught her.

If you want to know more about what happened,

press the "call" button.

(Call)

Hey, Se Hyun. I just wanted to check something.

I heard So Yu got accused of having plagiarized someone else's design.

Can you tell me what happened?

Oh, that?

There was a dispute about that,

but it'll get settled soon, so don't worry.

You shouldn't be worried about this.

I told you that I'll take care of everything.

Yes, I'm sure you would've handled everything.

I guess I shouldn't have bothered you.

I'm sorry. I'll hang up now.

Se Hyun will have her back.

Worrying about her won't help the situation get any better.

I brought the footage from the security office.

It's a collection of the CCTV footages of Mr. Choi.

It seems like she works here.

I want you to quietly find out who she is.

Hey, So Dam.

I told Ms. Choi about Ms. Hong,

and she wanted me to call you.

Just a second.

You're in no place to worry about me.

I'll handle Ms. Hong.

You should focus on Seo Jun.

Seo Jun's stuck in his room right now...

and is crying underneath the covers.

How can you be working right now?

He won't answer my calls or reply to my texts.

Are you trying to tell me that you did your part...

by making a couple phone calls?

I can't believe how ungrateful you're being right now.

Did you forget how much Seo Jun cared for you?

I can already predict...

what he would've done if you were the one who was sick.

But on the other hand,

you're leaving him all alone just because of work?

If I was sick,

he would've just brought his stuff and barged into my house.

He wouldn't have left even if I told him to.

And every morning,

he'd stick right next to me and try to make me laugh.

What's wrong, So Yu?

Is there something wrong?

I don't know what I should do.

I don't know if I should give him what he wants...

or if I should go to him and stay there until he gives in.

The Seo Jun I know...

wouldn't want you to sacrifice yourself just for him.

You should just focus on your work for now...

I feel nervous.

While I'm at work,

I get scared that something might've happened to him.

And it makes me want to quit and just go to him.

He already reacted sensitively...

regarding the plagiarism issue by calling me.

So if you quit work and insist on taking care of him,

he won't be able to live with himself.

He called you because of the plagiarism issue?

Yes.

I guess he saw all my texts but chose not to reply.

Just work in the store and wait until things get sorted out...

regarding the plagiarism issue.

And then what?

My mom won't stop until she owns LX.

There are some resents that you're unaware about.

What's going to happen after that?

What?

She'll do things that are even worse once she gets what she wants...

because she'll need to keep it that way.

You already know what kind of person she is.

She's already lying and threatening people.

Do you think you can bear with that?

That's my business to take care of.

You're a smart guy,

so I'm sure you'll handle it well.

I'll go now.

(CEO, Bang Yoon Tae)

You're practically coming here every day.

I should receive a salary as well.

Why are you here again?

I'll get in trouble if people start spreading rumors about you.

I want to know what he saw when he tailed her yesterday.

He won't report to me.

I found her at an illegal casino.

She gambles?

I guess she took out a private loan to gamble.

Why would the only daughter of DH Fashion...

take out a private loan?

Even if her dad's rich,

why would he give his daughter money so she could gamble?

Even so, I still can't believe...

that the only daughter of DH Fashion is struggling because she's in debt.

The nickname of DH Fashion's chairman is Fire Sword...

because he makes sure he stabs and burns whomever crosses him.

Kang Han Na might be able to destroy...

Hong Baek Hee and Hong Se Hyun a lot faster than us.

How?

How is she going to make them start gambling?

My goodness.

You've really lost your touch, Yoon Tae.

Secretary Woo, I want you to find out why Kang Han Na...

came to LX Group.

These days, I'm starting to get confused...

whether I work for you or your ex-wife, sir.

Shut it. How did things go with Soo Kyung?

I offered her money, so she happily agreed to help.

She'll do whatever it takes to find out what So Yu's hiding.

So give her some time.

Why are you guys sitting side by side?

- My gosh. - What's wrong with you?

My back hurts these days.

Why does So Yu hate Hong Baek Hee so much?

She's the one who made So Dam become a surrogate mother.

So it's natural that she hates her.

It's not like So Dam did it for free.

Her mom was able to get surgery thanks to what she did.

So what's with the fuss?

You really have a way of saying nasty things.

I know she isn't your daughter, but you're unbelievably cold.

Something else happened between her and Ms. Hong, right?

Even if that was the case,

do you really think I would tell you?

I wonder why Ms. Hong is making So Yu suffer...

instead of torturing someone like her.

Hey, my older brother is Bang Yoon Tae.

If she messes with me, she'll get in big trouble.

I heard it's only a matter of time before he gets fired.

- What? - What?

Why would he get fired?

He's the first person that will get fired...

once the company becomes Ms. Hong's.

- My gosh. - This is crazy.

He's the only person we can trust right now.

If he goes bankrupt too, we'll be doomed.

You won't get anything out of an empty can like her.

You should just meet So Yu and ask her yourself.

An empty can?

I'm surprised that you understood so quickly.

You can badmouth me all you want,

but I won't let you mistreat my lady.

You can leave once I give you your paycheck.

- What? - What?

My goodness, apologize to her immediately.

How could you call our boss' girlfriend an empty can?

The least you could've done is call her Ms. Empty Can.

I seriously can't take this anymore.

Fine, I'll apologize.

Sorry, sorry

I, I, am sorry, sorry,

- I'm sorry - Please forgive us just this once.

- I'm sorry - Don't watch.

- Please forgive me. - What is wrong with him?

- I'm sorry - Gosh, it's okay.

- Forgive us just this once. - I'll do it one more time.

- Sorry, sorry - My gosh.

- I, I, am sorry, sorry, - Just go and clean the bathroom.

- Are we forgiven? - Are we forgiven?

About Seo Jun...

He isn't even eating properly, and it's really worrying me.

Even a healthy person will get sick if they eat like him.

Did he eat?

He just had a few bites of the omelet.

What did he say when you asked him to come downstairs?

He said he wanted to be alone.

It's So Yu.

So Yu?

(Gangnam Scandal)

I read so many articles saying you're going through a divorce suit.

Who do you think is giving the press all the information?

Is it Ms. Hong or Se Hyun? Which one is it?

I made her become suspicious.

- Did she believe you? - It seemed like it.

Did he really say he'll approve as long as you're happy?

I'm the one who became hesitant because I felt nervous.

- Why did you feel nervous? - Because of So Yu.

Gosh, Seo Jun will be so happy.

I'll tell her to come upstairs.
