Seol. Seol!
Sir, you cannot come in.
[Surgery Room]
I wonder why I'd grabbed Senior's hand that time.
Even though I'd known that something was off with him
and I'd been scared of him.
Yeah. I may have acted like it wasn't the case
but I guess I was paying attention to him too.
Behind that sweet smile, he was cold and lonely and child-like.
I guess I was quite curious about Senior
who had a completely different side to him
that was only visible to me.
That he only chose to show to me.
[Last Episode]
Jung!
How's Seol? How badly hurt is she?
It's not too bad, right?
She broke her rib, so her organs have been damaged.
- Oh my... - Mom!
How could this sort of thing...
I heard it was a car accident. How, exactly, did this happen?
Honey... nothing seriously bad will happen to our Seol, right?
What do we do?
Um... Ms. Hong Seol's guardian?
Yes?
Due to the accident, she had a brain hemorrhage.
Her lung and liver are injured due to a rib on her right side breaking.
But the surgery ended well.
- Oh, thank you. - Thank you!
We've moved her to the critical patients' unit
and she will probably wake up in a couple of hours.
She still has some bleeding, but it's not on a serious level
so we'll keep monitoring her while administering medication.
Oh my... Seol...
Honey!
It's okay. It's okay!
The surgery's over, so don't worry.
What is it, Baek In Ha?
Mr. Baek In Ho?
Who is this? Why do you have my sister's phone?
I'm Ms. In Ha's friend.
She's in a bit of a bind right now, so...
She kept calling you, but you wouldn't pick up.
So she called me instead.
I think you need to hurry over here.
What happened to her exactly?
What happened?
Miss. Are you going to continue acting like this?
No good will come out of keeping your mouth shut.
Baek In Ha!
What the hell did you do this time? Why are you here again?
Um... are you her younger brother, by any chance?
Yes. Oh, you're the one I spoke to earlier.
What's going on here?
Are you okay? Huh?
This one is fine.
But the issue is that the person who got injured is still unconscious.
Excuse me?
What?
I only came here after getting her call, so I don't know the details either.
But apparently, she got into a fight
and the other person got hit by a car
and was severely injured.
What the hell? Why the hell are you--
Do you know what the hell you've done?
What's with you?
Come over here!
What happened? Stop it!
It was an accident!
I didn't do anything wrong.
It's because of you.
If you hadn't done that to me, this wouldn't have happened!
It's your fault!
You piece of human trash...
- Please stop! - Stop it!
Stop it, bastard!
If something happens to Seol because of you...
I won't leave you alone, either.
I'll kill you!
What?
What are you talking about?
Hey.
Wait!
Is it true that she's unconscious?
This is why you should've left when I told you to.
Which hospital is she at?
How dare you even think about going to see her?
In Ho.
You're here?
My parents are over there.
I'm sorry.
What score did she have to settle with our Seol that...
Why did she do that?
I'm truly, truly sorry.
But still there should be a reason why!
She's not the type to get into a fight with others, so...
Why did she do that?
I'm sorry.
I'll take responsibility for everything.
What responsibility? And how?
My child has yet to regain consciousness and...
Mother.
Leave.
Yes?
What?
I'll be there soon. Please block her so that she can't leave.
What happened? What happened to Baek In Ha?
I couldn't stop her.
They brought documents too, saying that they were her legal reps.
What are you...
Who took her?
The Section Chief of Taerang Group's secretarial staff.
Do you know a guy named Choi Myung Hoon?
It's Baek In Ho. Where did Baek In Ha go?
She's with me right now.
So why is she with you?
Until this matter is settled, we'll be protecting her.
Protecting, my ass!
Where are you right now?
Stop it!
- It's fine! - It'll be okay!
Let go!
What's going on? Sir, why are you doing this?
Please, don't do this!
Mr. Choi!
[Department of Mental Health Security Ward]
Yes. I've done as you ordered.
All right. It's okay to tell him.
Even if he goes to see her, nothing will change.
And shift things around in my schedule a bit for tomorrow.
Yes.
Baek In Ha.
Baek In Ha is here, right? Where is she?
You can't visit her today. Please come back tomorrow.
What the hell are you saying when they took her here without my permission?
I'm her little brother!
Please be quiet!
Bring her here while I'm still asking nicely.
Where is she?
Are you going to continue acting this way?
Do you want to be dragged out of here?
Are you okay?
How could the Chairman do this to me?
I've been so good to him all this time.
Instead of helping me, he shoved me in here?
Wait.
It wasn't Yoo Jung who put you in here, but the Chairman?
I've been living in hell, being attacked by Yoo Jung.
And the Chairman made all these requests of me
saying he was worried about Yoo Jung
and now he shoves me in here?
Baek In Ha. You told the Chairman everything?
Was I the only one? You did too.
You had so much fun answering his questions about Jung back in high school
so why am I the only bad one now?
Why do I have to be treated like a mental patient here?
The one who should really be here is that asshole Jung.
Baek In Ho. I really think I'm going to go crazy in here.
Go to the Chairman and try begging him or something, okay?
Get me out of here!
I really think I'm going to go crazy in here!
I really hate this place!
I really think I'm going to go crazy in here!
I'm going to just leave!
Let's go.
- Patient, you can't leave. - Let go!
Piss off!
Please calm down!
Baek In Ho, go talk to him!
Please calm down!
Mr. Choi, where is the Chairman right now?
Please let him know that I'll be visiting him.
The Chairman is busy.
It'll be difficult to see him at the moment.
I have to see him right now! Want me to burst into his house?
If you keep acting this way, it'll be worse for Ms. Baek In Ha.
Please think before you act.
I'm hanging up now.
Thank you for coming like this in person.
No need for that.
Of course I should have come.
I'm sure that you must be going through great anguish right now.
Don't worry too much.
They said that the surgery went well, so she'll wake up soon.
I have some connections with this hospital
and have asked them to have the most qualified personnel take care of her
so don't worry too much.
Thank you so much.
It's nothing, really.
I've also prepared another room for your family to rest.
I've asked them to move her there, so please use it to your heart's content.
Also, please don't worry about the medical fees.
We'll take care of it.
Um... why would you...
She's my son's friend, so this is my business now.
Please allow me to help you.
How did you know to come here?
In Ha called me at the police station.
I've sent her to Director Han.
By Director Han, you mean...
do you mean the one who used to work for Doctor Baek?
Then are you telling me that you sent her to a mental hospital?
Just look at how she's been acting.
How could she have done those things while being of sound mind?
Director Han told me that she displays symptoms of megalomania
as well as impulsive control disorder.
I'm sure that we can win by pleading insanity with that.
So you're going to make her a mental patient?
So that she won't take any responsibility for what she's done?
I can't agree with this.
It doesn't matter if you do or not.
Just imagine what will happen if this ends up going to court.
Can you assure me that she won't sully our names and Taerang's name there?
And if she does that, everyone will talk.
Things will get difficult not just for you, but for me as well.
Why can't you understand that?
How could you not have the tiniest regard for Seol?
It's a shame that she was in an accident
but it's fine now that she's no longer in critical condition.
If she'd been worse off, the situation would've been more of a headache.
It's a relief, really.
Even if she does wake up, it may be difficult for her to live normally.
She could develop a disability because of this!
I can compensate her for that, then.
If she needs anything else besides the hospital fees covered
I'm thinking about giving her compensation as well as a settlement.
I'm sure that her parents will be able to get by without any issues then.
Make sure you get her to settle out of court with In Ha later.
Do I have to come to this kind of place to clean up after you now?
Why do these kinds of things happen around you all the time?
Don't start things if you can't finish them properly!
I thought things had become okay after the incident with In Ho's hand
but here you are, causing trouble again!
It was your fault for seeing a girl like that in the first place.
I'm sure she wouldn't have suffered something like this
if it hadn't been for you!
That's why you should've taken care of it when I told you to.
The more I got to know him, rather than being unfamiliar and scary...
He made my heart flutter and made my heart hurt.
So I didn't want to leave him to be by himself.
At first, I didn't know either...
Oh, Senior!
that I'd grow to like someone.
Or how frustrating that could be.
Or how scary that could be.
I just wanted to be with you always.
I thought that all I needed was you by my side.
I couldn't understand...
why people looked at me with that kind of expression.
Or why people despised me.
But I think I get it now.
Don't ever appear in front of me again.
It was so disgusting to see.
And I have a weak stomach, you see.
What a sight to see.
One person is a credit card thief
while the other one is an underwear thief.
Do your parents know that you're living like this?
No matter what a fuss you put up trying to imitate it
you can't ever be exactly the same.
Haven't you realized that already too?
How dare you come here?
Do you think this is a place where you can do something like this?
I'll pay that off for you.
Only if you stay away from Seol, though.
What I'd trampled on was their hearts.
And their emotions.
Why didn't I realize...
It's fine now that she's no longer in critical condition.
If she'd been worse off, the situation would've been more of a headache.
Even if she does wake up, it may be difficult for her to live normally.
She could develop a disability because of this!
I can compensate her for that, then.
If she needs anything else besides the hospital fees covered
I'm thinking about giving her compensation as well as a settlement.
I'm sure that her parents will be able to get by without any issues then.
Just how painful that could be?
Then you wouldn't have ended up like this.
Don't say a word.
I know what happened and I know why you did it.
And I know how you must be feeling right now, too.
If you stay by my side, you might get hurt again.
Don't feel uneasy.
I won't ever run away.
Even so... are you okay?
Is it really okay if I don't let go of this hand?
Seol!
Oh, Mom.
Are you awake?
Are you all right?
Do you recognize me?
Seol. Yoo Jung is outside. I'll call him in.
You've been through a lot, Seol.
Good job, Seol.
Huh? What the heck... where did he go?
If you keep doing that, you'll ruin your health!
You have to take your medicine and get treatment
if you want to get out of here.
Your little brother is here again.
He hasn't been going home and has been waiting for you these past few days.
You don't want to see him?
Did she eat?
She threw it off the table.
It'd be nice if she took the nutritional supplement at least.
But she refuses to take that too.
And when we put IVs in her, she takes them out.
She's been putting up such a fuss that we're at our wit's end too.
What can we do then?
If she keeps doing that, we'll have no choice but to put her in a straitjacket.
Because keeping her alive is our top priority.
Um... can I ask for a favor?
It's only for a little bit, okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
It's me.
Hey, you stupid idiot.
What gives you the right to act like this when you did nothing right?
You said you wanted to get out of here
and if you keep acting like that, they'll think you really belong here.
You're not alone.
So stop acting like... someone who's given up on life.
I need you, In Ha.
So please eat your meals.
I'll keep waiting outside.
Mr. In Ho. Do you drink coffee?
She still won't see you, right?
I heard from Eun Taek that Hong Seol is awake now.
What a relief.
You're not going to go see her?
How could I?
- Hong! We're here! - Hey!
Oh, you guys are here?
But why are you alone?
Yeah. Why are you alone?
My parents went to the restaurant.
Joon and Ah Young are here.
Are you feeling all right?
Seol, I brought strawberries... oh, hello!
Please have some.
But, um... you still haven't heard from Senior?
Yeah.
He hasn't been here since you first woke up, right?
How strange. He was here until you woke up.
So why hasn't he been in touch? He didn't even see you wake up.
Maybe it's because he's busy with the investigation?
But even so, he hasn't even called once...
Right? Even though my mom and dad didn't say anything, they were disappointed.
Maybe it's because he feels bad.
Isn't the person who did this to you his childhood friend?
Stop talking about him.
Huh? Senior!
What are you doing here?
To visit Seol.
I was worried.
Can I talk to her alone for a bit?
Why is Jae Woo here out of the blue?
Were they close?
No. So why does he want to talk to her alone?
Are you feeling okay?
Yes.
I know I shouldn't be saying this when you're the one who got hurt
but In Ha is really not doing well right now.
She's not eating anything and won't see her younger brother.
I'm worried that she'll really go insane like that.
In Ho told me that Yoo Jung's father put her in there.
But I can't get in touch with him.
So, um... can you talk to Yoo Jung for me?
Oh, I'm sorry. You're not even doing well
and I'm here saying things like this to you.
Take care of yourself. I'll be back.
Oh, here.
[Missed Calls] [Text from: Father]
It's been so many days since you've been ignoring me.
Please pick up my calls.
Don't ever take off the ring.
And you can't lose it, either.
It's fine.
Um... I heard that she was being discharged today, so...
I'm sure it won't be enough no matter how much I apologize, but...
I'm very sorry.
You must have been going through a lot too.
Is... your body okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry I couldn't come visit you.
I heard from my dad that you'd come to the hospital.
About Baek In Ha...
It just ended up that way.
I'm really, really sorry.
[Agreement between Hong Seol and Baek In Ha]
It's not because I forgive her.
I'm just so tired and worn out.
I want to take care of everything and return to my normal life.
It would been nice if I could think of a better way to phrase this...
but I'm so sorry... and so thankful.
Your concurs is coming up, right?
You have to compete.
I'll keep my promise to go see you no matter what.
What do you mean you're quitting?
What kind of nonsense is this?
I already gave my letter of resignation to Manager Kim.
Jung. Is the reason why you're going this far--
What you said was right.
When I was younger, I hated the fact that you thought of me as strange.
So I did my best to hold back and hide things.
Because I really wanted you to think well of me.
I guess I thought that I didn't need to understand others...
since I'm a person who can't be understood anyway.
And because of this fake victim mentality
I mistreated people and judged them however I wanted to and gave them scars.
And I didn't realize just how scary those scars could be.
Jung.
I thought that I wasn't strange, but I honestly don't know anymore.
That's why I need some time right now.
I want to figure out for myself just what kind of person I am.
I just didn't want you to take after me.
That was what I feared the most.
But...
You and I are quite alike, right?
Baek In Ha. Someone's requesting to see you.
It's not your younger brother. It's someone else.
Who is it?
I won't forgive you.
I can't do that.
Let's not meet again, Baek In Ha.
No.
You and me and In Ho... the three of us were good together.
Did you forget all of that?
I still--
Break free from our home... and from me, and from my father now, In Ha.
Let's not be held back by our pasts anymore.
She can really be discharged now?
There are still a couple of things to take care of, but we'll deal with that.
We've finished the process, so she should be able to be discharged tomorrow.
Yes.
A summary trial will take place.
No matter what her sentence is, she'll have to deal with it herself.
Yeah. I think that's a good idea too.
Anyway, thanks.
Also...
I'm sorry for everything up until now.
Save your apology for Seol.
I didn't know
that Baek In Ha and I only brought you pain.
This is really long overdue, but...
I'm really sorry.
I found this while I was packing.
It would've been nice if I'd given it you back then.
That pianist you're always going on about?
I'm going to get his signature and keep it as my treasure forever.
You're a real fan! What's your name?
It's Baek In Ho.
Who is it?
Joon.
Oh, Jung.
How's Seol?
She's inside.
Mom! Dad! Seol! Yoo Jung is here.
I'm sorry for not contacting you sooner.
Who told you to buy something like this?
If you thought of buying something like this, you should've come sooner.
Yes. I'm a bit disappointed.
You may have been busy, but...
I apologize.
You're here, Senior?
Is it okay if we step out for a bit?
Don't bring her back too late.
Yes.
I'll take that.
Just a minute.
I'm sorry that I couldn't contact you this whole time.
How are you feeling?
I'm getting better and better.
- Seol. - I...
I heard about everything that's been going on.
What you did to Baek In Ha and why she did that to me.
Honestly, I did blame you a bit.
But after thinking about it while being apart...
What happened was an accident.
So let's just continue seeing each other like before.
I wonder just how much longer you can continue to accept me like this.
What?
You can't handle the burden on your own, Seol.
Let's break up.
Why?
I'm fine.
I know that you'll try, too.
Just like you have up until now.
But while you were getting tired and weary and hurt...
I couldn't really understand why you were doing that, to be honest.
Even though I'm the one with all the issues...
and I'm the one who should've been putting forth all the effort.
I want to see you again when I can really love you properly.
But the me right now can't do that.
Seeing you right now...
It's really difficult for me.
Thank you. Goodbye!
Goodbye!
Joon. Seol isn't coming out of her room today either, right?
Yeah.
Her body is almost healed, but I guess her heart is now in pain.
Geez... you really can't trust men.
That's why I said in the beginning that I didn't like his face.
What do we do? You won't be able to have a rich son-in-law now.
I wasn't even dreaming of that, punk!
Regardless of money
a guy who gives my daughter the least amount of grief is the best.
Speaking of which, shouldn't you hire a part-timer soon?
I wish In Ho would come back.
There were a lot of customers who just came to see his face.
Welcome.
What the...
Speak of the devil!
Here.
I didn't know sizes, so I just bought whatever.
What is this? Thermal underwear?
It's not like they're old people...
I really wanted to give it to you.
Sorry for all the trouble I've caused up until now.
Also, please always be healthy.
In Ho.
It's... been a while since you've come. Come have some noodles.
No, that's okay. I... have somewhere to be, so...
Yeah. Have some before you go.
I'll make it for you quickly.
Yeah. Have some before you go.
Come and have some while we're still offering.
Dad, let's just have dinner now.
Yeah, sure. Let's do that.
Today's the last day we're giving it to you for free.
You'll have to pay next time.
Honey, make it delicious.
Are you sleeping, Seol?
Seol. In Ho came to the store before.
He bought underwear for Mom and Dad... geez.
So tacky.
But you know, I think he's really an all right guy.
Go to sleep.
Good night.
Are you going now?
I felt like I should at least say goodbye.
Today's your competition, right?
I'll be cheering you on.
Have a safe trip.
Bye.
And stay healthy.
Baek In Ho!
I'm not going to regret anything.
So I hope that you'll do that too.
Dog Fur.
You've really matured.
Thanks.
For showing me your smiling face.
[Grand Music Concours]
- In Ho! - Yeah, Sang Keun?
I was about to contact you.
First, I'll give you all the money I've saved up, so...
No, it's not that. Your lawyer took care of everything and left.
What are you talking about? My lawyer?
Really. He paid back your debt and left.
And they gave us a document saying
if we went to see you again, they'd sue for harassment.
When Boss Hammer saw that, he couldn't say a word.
In Ho!
Boss Hammer?
Eat, punk.
Is Yoo Jung behind this?
200 hours of community service?
What kind of punishment is that?
And the fine is about five million won too.
They said she'd have to pay about that much.
I thought you said that you were fine with a light sentence.
That's just because I was taking In Ho into consideration.
Geez... when I think of his older sister, my temper flares up.
I wonder who was the one who told him, "Have some noodles"?
You acted as if you didn't even know him at the hospital, though.
Hey!
You have to study!
Hurry up and do it!
I told you I'm not doing that anymore!
I'll just inherit Mom's noodle shop.
And I'll learn how to cook from Mom.
Geez... why, I ought to... because of you, I...
You're always doing things that earn you beatings!
It's Baek In Ha.
It's a bit weird of me to be saying this now, but...
I'm sorry.
Also, Yoo Jung is taking the 3:00 p.m. plane today.
I wanted to tell you that at least.
Senior!
[Three Years Later]
After graduating, I was hired by the company I wanted to work at.
However, that was just another door that I'd entered.
My daily life is as fierce and repetitive as always.
- Good work. - Good work.
Hey. Did you tie your hair back because I said women with ponytails are pretty?
What are you saying? Geez.
Hey. Do you like me?
Geez, seriously...
If you like me, you should just say so!
No matter where I go, there's always people like Oh Young Gon.
Ms. Hong Seol!
No, you're Chief Hong now. You're the first among us to be promoted.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But your coat is really pretty.
Where did you get it?
And someone among my coworkers who's like Son Min Soo...
I just saw it as I was walking by.
Oh.
Ms. Hong Seol.
The file from yesterday...
You checked that thing I asked you to look at before sending it, right?
Uh, yes... I just finished looking it over.
Here.
What? You're already done?
Wow, Chief Hong... thanks.
And people like Sang Chul.
Thanks to you, I stayed up all night last night.
I'm tangled up between people just like before
and it's troublesome just as before, but...
But it's been a while since I've had the passion to worry about things like that.
Senior! You're getting off work now?
Yeah. What about you?
I'm leaving a bit later.
- Oh. - Hurry and go.
She'll get angry if she has to wait a long time.
No matter how much I try, her personality won't change.
Oh yeah. Baek In Ho made it into Sung Hwan University's Music School.
His hand seems to have gotten all better now too.
Oh.
I'll be going, then. Keep up the good work!
- Yes. - Bye.
In Ha! In Ha!
Hey! Do you know what time it is?
I told you that you can't do this!
You said it'd take 5 minutes! It's been 30 minutes now!
It hasn't been even five minutes yet.
Why have you been keeping me waiting so long lately?
I missed you!
I wanted to see you too.
Of course you did.
- Geez... - What are you going to do for me?
Let's go eat steak. I got my paycheck.
Congratulations.
Nice!
Wow, as expected of the world-renowned pianist, Baek In Ho.
Shut it, you.
Since your sister is here, play something upbeat.
You think this is a club?
Don't piss me off and hurry it up.
- Jae Woo! - Yes?
The world-renowned pianist Baek In Ho says he'll play something upbeat!
Yay!
[Email]
[Emails to Senior Yoo Jung: Unread]
Hong! I have something to tell you.
Stop by the store after you get off of work.
- Beep! - What are you doing?
- Beep! - Stop it!
Oh, Eun Taek's here too.
Oh, Seol!
It's been a while.
It's hard for me to see this guy's face nowadays too.
We barely have time to go on dates.
Wow, our Eun Taek is that busy?
He keeps following his manager around, having oh-so-much fun.
Hey, if you leave our Bo Ra all alone
and get all diva-like, I'll really let you have it!
Why would I leave her and become a diva?
I have to buy a present for Ah Young.
Why?
She's going to the States.
Joon is just about to keel over and die because he's so upset.
How pretty.
- Hong. - You're totally my style.
- I have a present for you. - Huh? What?
If you reject it, that's fine.
This time, it's totally crazily awesome!
Ahn Chi Myung? Forget about him.
He was just a bad apple in the bunch.
You'll go, right?
Stop spouting such nonsense.
- Ring this up for me. - Geez, seriously...
You're going to end up as a spinster at this rate!
I'll take care of my own love life.
This would look really nice when you go on your blind date.
Why not just buy it for yourself?
It's for Ah Young. Wrap it up nicely for me.
- Just go while we're helping you! - Yeah!
If you go on the blind date, we'll give it to you for free.
No! But I'll give you a discount.
Hurry up and wrap it for me.
Geez, even though I'm looking out for you. Really.
However, on one hand
my desire to get to know that person better is decreasing...
while I am left growing more and more bitter.
I wonder if there was ever another time when
I worried so much about things
just to get to know a person better.
He may need the same amount of time I needed to get to know and accept him.
No.
He may need even more time than I did.
Seol. Eat!
Hurry up and come out.
Okay!
