Episode 12
What are you doing over there?
I'm thinking.
Whether I should tell you this or not.
Tell me what?
Just why it is that my father... drove my mother away.
Ae Ra.
Want me to tell you a fun story?
The Seventh Princess.
Once upon a time...
a king fell in love with a gypsy woman who loved to sing and dance.
And he married her and made her his queen.
But that king loved his queen so much...
that he never allowed her to step even a single foot outside the palace.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
When the queen gave birth to her first daughter...
the king was so overcome with joy, he wanted to give the queen a special gift.
So, what is your wish?
I wish to have spring.
Here's your spring.
Even though the king summoned all his servants to create a spring within the palace walls...
the queen still wasn't happy.
- Congratulations, Your Majesty. - Congratulations.
Thanks.
Every time the queen gave birth to another child
she told the king that she wanted a river, or a bird.
And each of those times
the king would build a river within the palace walls, or trap birds in a cage for her.
But the queen still wasn't happy.
Because what the queen really wanted...
was to feel the spring air on her skin while walking along the river...
and to live her life as free as a bird.
The years passed, and when all seven princesses matured...
this is what the king said to the princesses.
He told them that he'll give his kingdom to the princess with the longest mane of hair.
So all the princesses became devoted to growing out their long hair.
With their nursemaids by their side.
All except for the youngest princess.
The queen herself tended to the care of her hair personally.
You take so much after me.
Mother.
When the queen passed away
a prince from a neighboring kingdom came by to pay them a visit.
He then announced that he would marry the princess who will inherit the kingdom.
But they couldn't tell which of the princesses had the longest hair
because they all had equally long hair.
But the youngest princess was different.
Once the youngest princess took off her hat, they saw that her hair...
was very short.
The queen had been continuously trimming the hair of the young princess to keep it short.
And thanks to the queen's efforts
the youngest princess lost any chance of inheriting the kingdom
nor of becoming the wife of the neighboring kingdom's prince.
But instead, she earned her freedom.
To live her life in happiness out in the open spring air, while walking along the river
with the birds chirping in the sky just as the queen wanted for herself.
The youngest princess left the palace with the neighboring prince's servant
and lived happily ever after.
Nice house, nice clothes, and nice food.
Even though my father thought that providing those things would make my mom happy...
my mom was only able to find her happiness once she left my father's side.
My mom now lives in Paris living the happy life that she once only dreamed about...
and even though my father gets angry about it, he still waits for my mom to return.
The only reason I was even able to travel to paint and draw like I did...
was all thanks to my mom's efforts.
I envy you and your family.
The way you guys bicker and fight...
just to make up again.
I want a lively family life like that.
Because that feels like living.
Just like how the youngest princess left the palace to find her happiness...
I want to do the same thing for myself.
I had no idea that your family life was like that.
How could I have known when you're always walking around with a big smile on your face?
I just wanted to keep smiling.
Not because I wanted to smile...
but because I figured that if I kept smiling, I might find a genuine reason to smile.
I didn't want to burden anyone with my problems either.
Ah... I think that's enough of my dull story, right?
How should we change this somber atmosphere?
Don't try so hard.
I know a bit of what you must be feeling right now.
Pretending like everything's okay when you're actually struggling on the inside.
Putting a smile on your face when what you really want to do is cry.
Thinking that if you just keep on smiling...
then you might find a genuine reason to smile about at some point.
That's what I used to do too.
You know what, Ae Ra?
I really hope... that I'm not the only person feeling this way.
I really don't want to go.
What are you doing?
- You don't find that cute? - No, not at all.
I heard that acting cute is the best weapon a younger guy has.
No, thanks. I personally don't like 'cute' guys.
Staring at me with the wide child-like eyes, and calling me, 'Honey'?
No, thank you.
- Even if he's rich? - In that case, thank you?
You're being way too obvious.
- You're so materialistic. - I'm just being honest.
That's what I like about you.
Because what you see is what you get with you.
Seriously... Go on.
There's a bus stop down the street. You can take that down to the train station.
This is my art studio. I know that too.
Anyway, thanks for letting me stay here.
I'll treat you to dinner with the money that I'm saving by staying here.
You and your offers to treat me to dinner. You make that offer to me every single day.
You have too good of a memory.
Okay, I'm going to go now.
When is CEO Cha supposed to get here?
I was hoping that we could have dinner together.
He seems to have a lot of work piled up
so I think he's spending most nights working late in his lab lately.
Is that right?
Having a constant flow of work is a good thing.
- I'm home. - You're here.
Come over here and take a seat.
CEO Cha will be arriving here shortly.
- CEO Cha? - That's right.
I have some things to talk to him about, so I told him to come by the house.
What are you going to say to him? He's a very busy man.
You need to go right to the source if you want answers.
I've called CEO Cha over here tonight
so that I can settle the issue of your marriage.
That's my business.
I'll take care of it myself, so don't concern yourself with it.
Why, is it because of your leg?
Don't worry about it. I'll put in a good word to CEO Cha about it.
What did you just say?
If you two are going to get married, CEO Cha's will have to know about it anyway.
CEO Cha's already been hurt once in the past
and he's past the age of chasing after just pretty girls.
He's tight lipped and seems to have a pretty deep heart
so I doubt he'll be saying much about your leg.
And I won't let him say anything about it either.
Stop... just stop it!
How pathetic must you see me become for you to feel better about yourself?
Are you going to offer him more money since your daughter is handicapped?
Or...
are you going to tell him to pay you back
for all the help you've given him to succeed by marrying his pathetic daughter?
- What did you just say? - This is what you're always like.
You've always used such low and dirty methods to possess the people in your life.
You forced mom to have me so that you could keep her in captivity.
Because of you...
I grew up without ever knowing the warmth of my own mom's embrace.
Even though you may be able to possess the shell of a person
you still can't possess their heart.
- Shouldn't you know that by now? - Shut your mouth!
No!
I'm so sick and tired of all this.
Every part of this house and everything in it was earned through
other people's blood, sweat, and tears.
Expecting us to remain obedient and never to say anything about any of this
since you provided us with all these material riches...
Did you really think that would make your family happy?
Not even close!
It disgusts me.
I feel disgusted every time I step foot into this house.
Do you know what it is that I fear the most in this world?
It's the fear that I may turn out like you.
It's the fear that I may turn out to be like you.
It's the fear that I may turn out to be like you!
That's what I fear the most!
Seeing you fret and worry all the time because you never know
when the people in your life will leave and abandon you...
I find it pathetic and disgusting!
Chairman Gook.
Get some sleep.
You'll feel better after you get some sleep.
Wait.
Please don't leave me... until I fall asleep.
Okay.
I can do that.
What are you doing?
Punk.
I'm leaving.
Jung Woo.
Thanks.
Fire?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Your house caught on fire?
There was a fire at your house?
Hello?
It's me.
- Oh, hi. - Where are you right now?
Didn't you say earlier that your house caught on fire or something?
Yeah.
I think I'm going to have to stay somewhere else for a little while.
Is your stomach feeling any better?
- Tell me where you are. - I told you that I'm staying somewhere else.
I just asked if your stomach was feeling any better.
My stomach isn't the issue right now. Tell me where you are.
Forget it. I'm hanging up.
Hello?
Oh Byung Soo and Ahn Ji Hyun.
They finally must be getting married.
Here, enjoy.
Oh my goodness.
I have never seen Soo Chul work so hard like that in my entire life.
That's the power of love, don't you think?
If you play your cards right, you might even become a grandmother next year.
Grandmother? I don't want to become a grandmother!
Do you think I'd be happy about that?
Congratulations on passing your exam, Byung Soo.
- You really worked hard. - Please don't mention it.
It's Ji Hyun, who did most of the suffering because of me.
He's right.
I didn't even get to pass my own exams because I had to work to support him.
I suffered even more than he did.
Now that you two are getting married
you can make him cherish you as much as he's made you suffer.
With her being pregnant right now
she is already treating me like her own personal servant.
Oh my goodness! Seriously?
You never even told us anything!
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
That's so great. How far along are you?
- Two months. - Two months?
What about you, Ae Ra? No kids yet?
Haven't you been married for quite a while now?
They're divorced.
I'm really sorry.
No, it's okay.
Oh my, look at all you guys.
- Chang Gyu! - Thanks for coming.
- Long time no see. - It's good to see you.
- It's been a while. - It really has been a while.
You scoundrel. Now is when the real suffering begins.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
- Hey, Na Ae Ra. - Long time no see, Chang Gyu.
We haven't seen each other since your wedding, right?
That sounds about right.
Chang Gyu, are you still helping out at your father's restaurant?
- What are you talking about? - Chang Gyu's place became a huge hit.
So they even opened up a second location at a busy intersection and he's now the CEO.
That's great.
What about you, Ae Ra? What are you doing these days?
I work at an office.
Okay... these drinks are on the house!
Come on, let's just go.
Why would I leave my own warm house to watch TV at a sauna?
You think I don't know that you're sauntering around the place
because you want to sit down with those kids and have a few drinks with them?
- Come on, let's go. - What are you saying?
Do you think that I'm a drunk who'd start drinking with just anyone?
Then how about this, Dad?
Want to go to the sauna, and knock back a cold can of beer together?
Should we?
If I have to go there and see the two of you getting all drunk and rowdy again
I'd rather drink myself into a stupor and pass out first.
- Come on, let's go. - Let's go, Dad.
I saw you on that TV show.
Really?
Who was that guy again? A plastic surgeon?
Are you still dating that guy?
Then... are you thinking about dating someone else?
Hey, do you think that's something that can happen so easily just because she wants it?
Hey, what was it that we used to say back in the day?
Madonna of Gosiwon Village.
All Na Ae Ra had to do back then was point her finger at anyone
and she could've had whomever she wanted.
Life sure is unpredictable, isn't it?
Cha Jung Woo!
- Wow! - Cha Jung Woo?
I want everyone's attention.
This year's top entrepreneur...
The infamous man behind the esteemed D&T Soft Ventures.
CEO Cha Jung Woo is here!
Come sit down over here.
What's wrong with everyone?
Jung Woo and I didn't divorce because our parents forced us to.
- We don't have a bad relationship. - Really?
You two... really are okay?
Yeah, of course.
I knew it.
They're the infamous genius and Madonna of Gosiwon Village.
There's no need for them to act all tacky.
I haven't heard those words in a long time.
So if I toast this next drink
to the infamous Genius and Madonna of Gosiwon Village's new beginning...
Would you say that I was being presumptuous?
No, let's do it. It's no big deal. I'm cool with it.
You want us to do a friendship shot or something?
That's our Na Ae Ra!
Let's cheers to their new beginning!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Who's he?
Ah, Kim Chang Gyu?
You don't know who he is?
Remember the gopchang place we always went to back in the day?
He's that restaurant owner's son.
Do you remember when I used to
chase you around everywhere because I was so in love with you?
You dumped me back then because you told me that you wanted to marry a civil servant.
But look at him now. He's in business himself.
I guess that's just the luck of the draw.
Do you still have feelings for him?
Just finish your drink and go home.
Hey, Na Ae Ra. Where are you going? Sit back down!
Hey, Na Ae Ra! Come over here.
Hey.
- Are you drunk? - Yeah, I'm drunk.
You still see me as the gopchang restaurant's son who used to chase you around, don't you?
- Let go of me. - Hey!
I'm trying to make things work between us!
Come on, let's be honest here.
- I'm too good for you now. - What?
You think that jerk Cha Jung Woo is the only CEO around here?
I'm a CEO too!
And you're already returned goods anyway.
Hey, Kim Chang Gyu.
Do you know why I didn't even spare you a glance back then?
It's not because you weren't smart.
- It's because you were an ass like this. - What? An ass?
Hey, then do you think that you're still the Madonna of Gosiwon Village?
- Do you actually think that you're still... - Let go of me!
That's enough!
Seriously.
Aren't you even angry after the way he just treated you?
What about it?
The way he just...
He just...
I'm a divorced woman.
What you just saw back there?
I'm immune to that by now.
Okay, I'm sure you must have been flustered
by what happened back there since you've never experienced anything like that before.
But you know what, Cha Jung Woo?
I've survived just fine without you all these years.
I admit that there were some tough times.
But I like the person that I've become.
And I feel like I can finally start living now.
So there's nothing for you to worry about, and I don't need anything from you.
- Ae Ra. - Don't get involved in my business anymore.
I find it burdensome.
Bye.
Are you going to keep loitering around like this?
Just give it a rest and leave.
What are you doing here at this hour?
I came here so that we could go home together.
Why would you go home with Na Ae Ra?
Ah, I see Ae Ra hasn't told you.
Ae Ra's staying at my studio these days.
What?
It looks like the meeting's all over. Why don't you go home now?
They're living in the same house?
In the same house... in the same house!
Seung Hyun.
Can you grab me a towel?
Don't give it to her.
Don't give it to her!
Don't give it to her.
Let me dry your hair for you.
Don't smell it.
Why are you smelling her hair? Don't smell her hair!
Don't smell it.
What kind of shampoo do you use?
No!
So you don't have the vegetables already cut and harvested
but you harvest them after you receive the order
and you ship it out the very next day for delivery?
Yes, and we can ship it directly to the house.
Harvesting the vegetables ahead of time makes it difficult to maintain its freshness.
If the customer signs up for either a six month or a year long membership
we can just automatically send them an assortment of produce the same time each week.
I'm confident that the customers will be happy with the quality of my produce
so please tell them to just give it a try.
Don't worry.
I'll work very hard on it so that it becomes a huge success.
What should the tagline be?
A direct order from the farm... to ensure the freshest produce possible?
Domestically grown, one hundred percent guaranteed.
Delicious and essential vegetables.
I'll just put the proposal together first, and work on the character later.
Hello?
Yes.
Over here.
Were you surprised when I called and asked you to meet me here?
No, not at all. But is something wrong?
I just wanted to share a cup of tea with you.
I see.
I think it may have been the first time we met up on the rooftop...
I felt comfortable and liked you right from the beginning.
Me too.
With you being in upper executive management
I thought that you'd be scary, and uncomfortable to be around.
But you felt like a friend right away, and it was just so easy to talk to you.
- I felt like we were kindred spirits. - You felt that too?
I think that it may be because we have so many things in common.
In common?
For example...
Our ideal type?
I know that we both like tight-lipped, unsocial workaholics.
I'm referring to Cha Jung Woo.
I've known that you're CEO Cha's ex-wife for quite some time now.
I wasn't trying to deceive you.
It's just that I didn't want to...
I'm not blaming you.
I know how difficult
it must've been to say anything when it's already over between you two.
It's understandable.
I have also...
done it once myself.
I've been married before.
Did that come as a shock to you?
Yes.
I really had no idea that you're a divorcee yourself.
It wasn't a divorce.
I'm widowed.
The truth is...
we never even got to experience our married life together...
before that happened.
We were involved in an accident... on the day of our wedding.
And I lost...
my husband in that accident.
And also...
my right leg.
You really do look shocked this time.
No, I...
That's why I haven't...
told Jung Woo...
about my leg yet.
I didn't want to make him feel burdened.
To be honest with you...
the condition of my leg has made me hesitate a lot about getting closer to Jung Woo.
Director Gook.
Just how hard Jung Woo has worked these past three years to make his company a success...
I doubt you can even fathom it.
I want to protect him.
I want to protect Jung Woo's dreams.
I'm...
someone who can give the strength and support that CEO Cha needs.
That's why...
you need to help me.
How... are you saying that I can help?
Don't...
stir up his feelings.
You should know better than anyone else just how soft hearted he is.
Do you really think that what he's feeling for you right now is love?
Don't you think that it could be... a sense of guilt that he's feeling?
A sense of guilt to his ex-wife for not having given her the happiness that he wanted to.
Is that what he told you?
You get to know certain things about a person after having worked with them for three years
even without them having to say it.
What Jung Woo needs to be responsible for right now isn't you...
but it's D&T Soft Ventures, and its 700 plus employees.
Please don't forget that.
This is my one request of you.
Sense of guilt?
Because he feels sorry?
Wow, Ae Ra! You really are amazing!
You really impressed me.
But you have to watch yourself. People are vicious in that briefing room.
Don't forget that the reputation of our team is riding on your shoulders.
So make sure that it's perfect. No mistakes will be accepted. Okay?
- Yes, Team Leader Wang. - Fighting!
This just doesn't make any sense.
To entrust an intern with such an important project.
Don't pay any attention to her.
What if I make a mistake?
I'm so nervous.
You just need to be your usual confident self.
And don't be nervous, okay?
Okay, let's go start the meeting.
Hello everyone.
My name is Na Ae Ra, an intern for the Mobile Shopping Team.
We will now start the briefing presentation
for Tongil Shilla Hotel's Wedding Anniversary Giveaway Event.
Every married couple has at least one precious moment that they want to cherish and treasure.
When you first meet each other...
you've got stars in your eyes...
and you don't even notice anything else other than each other.
When you realize that this is the person for you.
When you feel like this person is your everything.
As you become the most precious being in each other's lives like that...
that's when you become a husband and wife.
As you start the live the realities of life, you lose the stars in your eyes...
and you start to gnaw, scratch, and harp on each other.
But because you still have those precious moments...
don't you think that's what gives these couples
the strength to withstand the harsh realities of life?
This I believe is the true heart and soul of Tongil Shilla Hotel's proposed event.
Subsequently...
I know that the core of this event is to present the couples with a free meal voucher.
But as you can see
I propose presenting the couples with a special painting of their cherished moments
and a wedding photoshoot for the wives.
Even if the prize cost is high a wedding photoshoot seems too excessive.
It isn't a formal photo shoot, but for a commemorative event
Even if it's for a commemorative event there's a cost involved.
We cannot do that from our side.
There is an inexpensive and simple way by using the hotel's wedding hall.
There will be a cost, but it can improve the image of the hotel...
Women don't like those things.
Just looking at my wife, she prefers cash.
The person in charge is still unmarried, yes?
I wonder if you're clueless about these things.
Let's reconsider this project for the time being.
Aren't the husbands in the room the ones who are clueless?
I was previously married.
And I was someone's wife.
The reason why wives are happy after receiving rings or handbags on their wedding anniversaries
isn't because they're expensive gifts.
Even if it's a handwritten letter, it's that their husbands remembered that day
and that they thought of their wives while preparing those gifts.
They're grateful for their husband's heart.
What makes a wife happiest... is her husband.
A husband's heart.
Yes. Yes, I understand.
What? Did Tongil Shilla not like the concept?
That's not it...
They said they loved it!
What?
They said a one-time event was a bit lacking
so now they want to do it every year!
Wow! Na Ae Ra!
Congratulations.
I'm going to tell the Director this happy news!
- Team Leader! - Huh?
If it happens every year, it will be a large scale project.
The scale isn't the issue.
DonTalk is a mobile shopping platform.
We'll be able to surpass the competition and go even higher!
But Team Leader... to have an intern be in charge for that...
Will it be okay?
Na Ae Ra's internship will be ending soon.
There's no guarantee that she'll continue working here either.
Won't it be better to leave this important project to someone
who's responsible from start to finish?
Pi Song Hee.
What is the meaning of this, Pi Song Hee?
Th...that isn't what I meant.
I've seen Na Ae Ra working overtime a few times now.
If the project was that important and you left it to an intern.
Is it okay for you all to leave for the day?
If she succeeds, it's because of me. If she fails then it's her fault.
That's not what you were saying, right?
Of course not, CEO Cha.
How are you managing your team members?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Please take better care of them.
What?
'What?'
About that Tongil Shilla proposal earlier...
they want to make it an annual event. Congratulations.
Oh, that. Thanks.
So, are you free tonight?
I figure we can go out to dinner in celebration.
Are you asking me out on a date right now?
A date?
I'm just saying that we should have dinner together.
Do you think the way that he's wavering is love?
It's guilt for not being able to make an ex-wife happy.
I have plans today. I don't think I can.
Plans? What plans? With whom?
That's not for you to know.
- Then I'm going. - Hey!
I'm going to wait for you until you come.
I said I can't go. Don't wait up for me.
But I'm going to wait until you come!
I'm going to wait for you until you come!
Hello.
The earth is going to cave.
You're worrying about something again, aren't you?
No, it's not like that.
Do you by chance have plans tonight?
No.
Then do you want to go somewhere with me?
A recruiting proposal?
I've been keeping watch since the buffet deal.
Your passion for work...
And this guy tells me that you're an impressive worker.
Anyway, after hearing your pitch for the wedding anniversary event
I've decided Na Ae Ra... to scout you.
I'm thankful that you've looked so kindly on me...
But it's so sudden.
Well, think about it. I'm not going to pass you right away either.
You have to go through an interview.
Thank you so much.
You won't ever regret it.
But now I see...
It's a little worrisome that Seung Hyun's opinions aren't entirely objective.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir.
I'm sorry, it's closing time.
What is this?
The elevator isn't working either?
[To cancel, press number 2]
What...
I didn't even press the button. What am I doing?
I can't eat dinner because of Na Ae Ra.
I'm so mad that I can't sleep!
Why would I...
Why are you calling at this hour?
Why didn't you come out tonight?
Did you call to ask me that?
I told you that I wasn't going.
But isn't it normal to worry if someone is waiting for you?
Let's talk later. Later.
It's because of something important!
Secretary Gil called you regarding an important issue. Why didn't you pick up?
An issue? What issue?
I was washing up so I couldn't pick up.
Washing up?
Where are you right now?
Me, I'm at the art studio.
Ow.
Secretary Gil!
It's not like you're the type to naturally be jealous.
Are you that jealous that she's seeing another man?
What do you mean she's seeing someone else? She's single!
Your stomach flipped because you found out that she's with Seung Hyun.
Or go and hold onto her properly then.
Why do you keep struggling and making it tiring on me?
Hey.
You have a responsibility to me no matter how much I'm in pain.
It's because you really aren't sick.
You're just faking it!
Are you planning to take a photo and send it to Na Ae Ra?
You're really going to get hurt if you keep acting like a know-it-all.
It's an acute stomach ulcer.
Here, let's look at the screens.
It must have really hurt.
It seems you must have undergone a lot of stress.
Is there something that is particularly worrisome for you recently?
Ah, that...
He's extremely worried about someone's work and personal life.
I'm a bit wary to say this...
I've gotten anxious while imagining ridiculous scenarios.
You can't think I'm crazy for that though.
I'm perfectly fine.
I see.
Is that person by chance...
a woman?
Oh, I'm getting goosebumps.
What you're suffering will be difficult to treat medically.
People often call it a 'plastic flower.'
You've heard of it, yes?
Isn't it lovesickness? Lovesickness?
Who? Me?
What an absurd idea!
Seeing as how he's making jokes with someone with a stomach ulcer...
Isn't he a quack?
He seems to be an excellent doctor to me.
That mouth of yours is alive to the end, isn't it?
I'll go take care of the bill.
Why should I pay for that?
The person who gave me the illness should pay for it.
[Cha Jung Woo]
You want to leave early? Is something wrong?
Yes, about that...
[Reason: Personal Matters]
There are a lot of personal matters we cannot help in life.
Make sure there are no setbacks to the things you're in charge of.
Yes, thank you.
Here.
What is this?
Candy for your acceptance. Good luck on your interview.
Thank you. I hope I get it in one try.
Is this the end with this company?
Am I someone whom she can just ignore calls from?
And if an intern is busy, can she be more busy than the CEO?
And if the CEO did call her, she should pick up no matter how busy she is!
Am I wrong?
Making someone perfectly healthy suffer from lovesickness.
I'm going to have to see for myself as to why she's so busy!
- You're dead today! - You're here to see Ae Ra?
Well I was just in the area...
She left work early on personal matters.
Left early? Is she sick?
Ae Ra went to Tongil Shilla Hotel today.
Ah, she went there.
She must really be busy.
Ae Ra... went to go on an interview today.
What?
Na Ae Ra!
Cha Jung Woo?
Oh, it's dangerous!
Are you nuts? What if a car hit you?
Do you hate it that much? Do you hate being with me that much?
So even if your internship isn't over, you're moving to another company?
That's right.
Be it then or now, surviving is the most important thing to me.
I'm going to quit the company eventually anyway.
Isn't it a given to hold onto a good opportunity?
It's already too late for you to be concerned about me.
It's ridiculous that you would be concerned about me now.
Why? Why are you so concerned about me?
Am I pathetic?
Are you sorry?
Is that why?
- It's not that. - Then why are you so involved?
I... have 'plastic flower.'
What?
Plastic flower! Lovesickness!
What?
I like you.
I really like you!
So don't go.
