How can this happen?
Blackmailing?
Oh goodness! How in the world!
If she knew Grandma and Hwan,
she must have planned this all out.
Mother, didn't you even find out who she was
before deciding to give her the inheritance?
Are you okay, Grandma?
Mother, are you okay?
Go rest.
Mom, Grandma must be really shocked.
Of course!
She trusted her even more than you guys.
Well, it's still a relief that she was exposed as a crook.
You feel better too, right?
Why aren't you defending yourself?
Why aren't you saying anything at all?
Shouldn't you say something?
Was Seung-mi really telling the truth?
Did you know about me?
Did you know about Grandma?
If I tell you I didn't,
would you believe me?
You should still explain yourself.
Do you know what kind of person they think you are?
If you just leave like this, you would be admitting everything.
Would you believe me if I say I didn't?
You won't believe me anyway!
It's disgusting...
What?
Money...
It's disgusting and scary. I hate it.
I just want to stop.
What do you mean?
Where are you going?
Seung-mi talked about Hwan all the time. How could she not know Ms. Jang and Hwan?
She saw countless photos of Hwan in Seung-mi's album.
You did write this, didn't you?
You mentioned that Ms. Jang was admirable
for establishing a corporation through seolleongtang.
Sit down or go inside.
Mom...
When did you even get Eun-sung's power of attorney?
I told you earlier.
The power of attorney that you don't need to authenticate a seal?
Yes.
I had it ready in case Eun-sung found out, or something like today happened.
Is that good enough?
You're a scary woman.
It's all over now.
Eun-sung won't last at Hwan's house any longer.
Grandma will cancel her will.
So just make sure to clean up the mess.
You and Hwan have history together.
We've done everything we can, so leave the rest to luck.
Coincidence isn't a coincidence the third time around.
Eun-sung's father won't bump into her again.
Everything will get better once we move next week.
Go rest.
Eun-sung!
Hye-ri...
So you just left with everyone thinking that you're a crook?
Hey, get up.
I'll go tell them everything, so get up right now!
It's no use.
Why not?
I know how you were when you came to me with Eun-u!
You heard everything from me.
A magazine with Grandma's picture, Hwan's picture, and the power of attorney.
You won't know because you weren't there.
Nobody could believe me.
So you're just letting them turn you into a crook and a blackmailer?
Aren't you even mad?
-I was scared. -What?
Mother and Seung-mi...
I was so scared of them.
How could people do this to each other just because of money?
I was so scared I got goosebumps.
Did Grandma still believe them after spending all that time with you?
That's what hurts me the most.
Grandma and Hwan...
What would they think of me...
She knew who Hwan was as well.
It's amazing how they could strategically sabotage her like that.
She's totally knocked out.
-Eun-sung. -Let her sleep.
You idiot.
Jun-se.
You know that Jun-se passed the bar exam.
We have to find a legal way to solve this.
You should have told me earlier.
If you knew she abandoned Eun-u,
you should've known that you can't handle her on your own.
You're right.
She kept it a secret all because of Seung-mi!
That's why this is much more unforgivable.
People turn savage when it comes to self-protection.
Do you think everyone's like you?
You're worn out, so we'll talk in detail tomorrow.
Show me the papers you got from the insurance company.
If I could have my way, I would go see Grandma and tell her
that I know everything that happened to you
since you've been back in Korea.
But it seems like that won't be enough.
Don't do that.
Even if you go see her,
it won't change anything.
Where's Grandma?
She left early in the morning.
Is she okay?
She was fine, and she didn't mention anything about what happened yesterday.
I think she left early because she's embarrassed.
Remember what she said before she found out about Eun-sung?
That it's not money but her philosophy that she's leaving to Eun-sung.
But it turns out that she was after the money.
How shocking is that?
-You're spitting everything. Just eat. -What?
I don't have anything in my mouth.
Everything aside...
It's good enough that I don't have to see her here anymore.
Wait. Do you think Jun-se knows what kind of girl Eun-sung is?
My goodness.
She even tricked your stubborn grandma.
Jun-se would be an easy prey.
She better not be staying with Jun-se because she has nowhere to go!
What if Grandma scolds you when you go to hand in that letter?
Think about it.
Grandma is probably feeling the most betrayed.
She trusted you enough to think of leaving you the company.
That's all the more why I should.
Even if I get scolded, I should quit after telling her that I'm sorry.
I'll tell her
that I'll come back one day with proof that I didn't lie.
That's what I should do.
My necklace!
Did you lose your necklace?
Where did it go?
I didn't see anything when I was cleaning. Didn't you leave it back in that house?
No, I don't even take it off in the shower.
What do I do? It's from my mom.
I must have lost it on my way here.
Maybe you left it in your room. Call and ask.
How can I call anyone in that house?
Are you really not eating?
No, I won't.
Hwan's going to call you.
He has never been interested in anyone except you
but felt something for Eun-sung, so he wouldn't want to believe it.
-I know. -Take care of it.
You think Ms. Ko won't come to work,
but you don't know why?
Yes.
Did you guys have a fight?
I mean...
I'm sorry.
All right. I suppose she'll call.
JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY
What brings you to the company?
This...
A letter of resignation?
I'm innocent, but Grandma--
I mean, Ms. Jang...
I'm sure it'll be hard for you to trust me anymore.
You're really selfish, aren't you?
Pardon?
Do you know how foolish I look because of you?
You're just going to run away after making this old lady a fool?
Grandma, it's not that--
Continue working at the second branch starting tomorrow.
-Pardon? -Putting your morals aside,
at least prove that you are able enough to run the company.
Increase the sales by 20 percent no matter what and prove your ability to everyone.
Do you...
trust me?
I can't even trust myself 100 percent, but trust you?
It's impossible to trust anyone 100 percent.
However...
I don't forgive anyone who deceives me.
Are you going to admit everything Seung-mi and her mother said and run away?
-No, that's not it. -It's done then. You can go.
Then...
cancel your will, please.
If you do, I'll gratefully work at the second branch.
Thinking and making judgments are up to me.
No.
I don't want your inheritance anymore even if you give it to me.
You say that it's your will and that it's for the company,
but to others, it's just money.
I was just someone
who won more money than the lottery.
-So? -To be honest...
I didn't want your inheritance
just because I wanted to carry on your will.
I had greed as well.
Of course. You're no angel.
Pardon?
You're not human if you don't like money.
Still.
It was too big of a burden for me.
I was hated and threatened...
I felt bad and sorry...
It's been really hard for me, Grandma.
Whether you believe me or not, this situation is the same too.
Okay, I'll see you.
Okay. I'll be there soon.
Let's talk for a minute.
You should have just called instead of coming here.
I see it's fine walking around with me at the company now.
Why are you here?
I came to hand in my resignation.
What did Grandma say?
What do you think?
Let's sit down.
How could you do this to me?
I kept my silence all this time because of you.
I accepted your mother's request not to mention about us because of you.
I realized that your mother could be this cruel only yesterday.
But how could you do that too?
How could you do that to me?
-That's how I remember it. -What?
That's how I remember it.
Yoo Seung-mi!
I showed you Hwan and Grandma's pictures,
and Father's insurance money all went to paying the debt.
I had no choice because you misunderstood and cornered my mom,
and threatened to tell Hwan's family about the insurance money.
-Seung-mi... -I...
I just wanted to protect what was mine.
Sunwoo Hwan?
I see.
Your mom wanted money
and you wanted him.
That's why you went this far.
I think we're done talking.
I need to get back to work.
What would you do if he likes me?
Or...
what would you do if he believes me?
Hwan's not an idiot! Someone like you--
It's your lie, not mine.
I've never lied to him or threatened anyone.
You...
did.
Then Seung-mi...
You just wait.
I'll reveal the truth one day.
By the way...
did you and he really promise to get married?
Goodbye.
How could you not call after turning the whole house upside down?
How could I call you?
I just hoped that you understand and forgive me.
It was really frantic yesterday because of Eun-sung,
but you went a bit too far as well.
Even if she's your ex-husband's daughter,
how could you keep it all a secret until now?
I'm really sorry.
Like I said yesterday, there were some issues.
I was trying to take care of it without creating a big scene.
Thank you for telling me now, but this too!
How could you lie that your husband went to Vietnam for work?
Aren't you going to clean?
I'm on the phone.
Alright, Seong-hui.
Let's meet up after I take care of Mother's will.
I need to go clean now.
You liked her without knowing who she really is, right?
You were completely fooled!
Jeong, Eun-sung is not like that.
Are you saying that Seung-mi and her mom are lying?
I even saw Eun-sung's power of attorney and all the papers!
Not everything you see is the truth.
Then what's the truth?
The heart again?
By the way, is Grandma not believing her as well? Not at all?
It would have been hard to believe her even if she wanted to.
Even if you leave out the magazine, Seung-mi had pictures of Hwan on her desk.
Does it make sense that she's never seen his pictures?
Eun-sung couldn't say a word and just ran away from the house.
Hey!
Who ran away from where?
-You scared me! -Hey!
Tell Seung-mi and her mother
that they're dead once we find Eun-u!
Hye-ri.
Eun-u? Eun-sung's brother?
Don't mind her. She's always like that.
Aren't you coming from the company? What took you so long?
Were you being scolded this whole time?
No, I just met Seung-mi for a bit.
-Seung-mi? -What did she have to say?
I told everything to keep my promise.
You told me...
that you would wait for me until I say it first.
It was really hard not being able to tell you this the whole time.
Mom wanted to convince Eun-sung no matter what.
Mom didn't want your family to know about me and Eun-sung to the end
because of me.
Frankly, I didn't either
because I never told you my stepfather passed away.
I'm so sorry...
I let the situation get this far.
Did Eun-sung really do that?
Did she really threaten you?
Are you saying that my mom's lying?
It's not that.
I think there might have been a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
Even if you did show her my pictures,
she didn't know me.
She was pretending.
No, she didn't know.
You're someone
who isn't interested in anyone you don't know well.
How are you so sure that she didn't recognize you?
You know how I don't like complicated things, right?
I'll make it simple, so don't be offended.
Tell me.
The reason why I can't believe everything...
is because of the time I spent with her.
No matter how simple-minded and selfish I am,
I'm not a statue without any feelings or thoughts.
I just don't think she's someone who would threaten anyone.
We've known each other for eight years.
It's not that I don't trust you.
Eun-sung probably misunderstood you.
How can she be in her right mind after her father passed away?
How could you do this to me?
INSURANCE CLAIM FORM
I did some research and it turns out
that there are no legal issues with how Seung-mi's mom received the money.
I know.
But to authenticate your seal, she needs your stamp and your ID.
-Did you give those to her? -No.
When I left for New York, I left my stamp with my dad
and my ID in my desk drawer.
You basically served it to them on a silver platter.
The phone was probably a cloned phone too.
She must have had someone pick up and pretend to be you.
Can't we find out the owner of the phone?
I didn't have one back then.
To find that out, we need to file a lawsuit against your stepmother.
File a lawsuit? Like a trial?
It's a lawsuit to ask for the money that you didn't receive.
It's the only way to prove your innocence at the moment.
But those lawsuits can't be done personally, right?
I'll need a lawyer, right?
Is it because of the attorney's fee?
-With the money you gave me and-- -No, Hye-ri.
Do you know how expensive it can be if the case gets big?
It'll be fine if we win the money back. I'll get it ready.
I know many seniors in the industry, so I can find you a good lawyer.
No.
I'll never do something that I can't handle by myself.
And there's no guarantee that I'll win for sure.
Why not?
All we need to do is to reveal that Seung-mi's mom
didn't pay off the debt with that money.
She's someone...
who even got my power of attorney beforehand.
Yes, she won't be easy to take down.
Then what would you like to do?
I'll think about it while I finish up the remaining month
at the second branch.
You're really going back to work?
Like Grandma said, I should at least show them what I can do.
She's in a difficult spot because of me.
And if I achieve the sales goal,
she'll still look for Eun-u.
I have to work.
Looks like it's break time.
Hey, Yeong-jae!
Hey! Piano-kid!
What? Shake hands?
You want me to promise you?
Wait...
You're telling me that you kept our story a secret?
Spy!
-Spy! -Well, aren't you amazing.
How did you know I wanted to talk about her?
You do whatever your mind tells you, right?
Or is it whatever your heart tells you?
Anyway, here's the problem.
If my heart and brain tell me different things, what should I do?
My brain tells me that the Spy is bad.
But...
my heart tells me that the Spy's good.
Well, that she's not bad anyway.
A high do?
Follow my brain?
Bad person?
Sol?
Heart?
Follow my heart?
Spy is good. Spy!
What an answer.
Do it again.
Spy!
Seung-mi's been by Hwan's side for a long time, right?
She was the only considerate friend to Hwan.
During the 70 years of my life,
I've experienced a countless number of people.
I thought that I could read anyone
after meeting them a couple of times.
I've been given my last assignment from heaven.
It seems like...
they want me to solve my last and most difficult assignment.
How long will this take?
It's so exciting and interesting.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG
Hwan! Mr. Lee's been calling for you.
Really? I didn't hear him.
Sunwoo Hwan.
-It's your paycheck. -My paycheck?
Grandma gave it to me last time.
Since you're officially a part-time worker, I'm giving it to you.
I manage the part-time workers.
Am I still a part-time worker?
Ms. Jang sent you here for two months, so there's still a month left.
So what happens after that?
Nobody knows about that.
Sorry?
I don't know why you were sent to the second branch.
And it seems like you don't know why you're here either.
Who knows what will happen a month later?
What do you mean?
What it means is that you didn't go outside and have been in a daze
your whole time here since yesterday.
You're like a robot without batteries if a certain someone isn't around.
What?
I'm sorry!
Your battery's here.
I heard that you couldn't come yesterday because Ms. Jang sent you on some errands.
-Yes. -You have no idea how much we missed you.
Really?
Let's talk.
So...
Grandma told me to finish up the two months I promised.
She told you that?
But I'm not accepting the inheritance.
I mean it!
I won't accept it even if she insists.
So you don't have to worry anymore.
Are you making up for your guilt?
No, that's not it.
Then what is it?
Since the second branch is busy getting settled--
-Not that. -Then what?
What did she say?
Other than having you work here, what else is she going to do?
You seem very curious about what punishment I'll be getting.
I don't want to tell you.
Okay, fine.
I don't want to know that much anyway.
Wait a minute.
By any chance,
did you see my necklace in the bathroom?
-Necklace? -My necklace.
I didn't.
What kind of girl loses her necklace?
Stupid!
Did you have to ask him that in this situation?
Where did I lose it?
How could she have someone like that come back to work?
What's the matter with Ms. Jang?
We shouldn't have let it go in the first place!
A company is no joke!
I apologize.
I should have persuaded Ms. Jang.
If it's a cruise trip, I'll have to travel back and forth from Seoul.
Yes, I'm thinking of opening a branch, but Donghae is a bit too far.
Pardon?
You want me there tomorrow?
Yes, I would like to know how much it costs to find someone.
Seoul. Just in Seoul.
It's 200,000 won.
You got your paycheck.
You told me to pay you back every month.
I'll give you 200,000 won next month.
Where are you going today?
Church cleaning is tomorrow,
so I think I'll go to my old school today.
They have events for teachers during the summer.
Not that.
Where are you going tonight?
Do you have a place to go to?
I do.
Where I used to stay with Grandma.
With Grandma?
It's a room for me to live with Eun-u
once I find him.
How did you meet my grandma?
Ask her yourself.
She told me not to tell you.
She did?
Since you only gave me 200,000 won, you probably have a lot left.
Why don't you buy a gift for Grandma?
I bought her a cheap vest, but she still has it.
Yes.
I knew she was rich, but I bought it off the street to pretend I didn't know.
I didn't say anything.
You looked at me suspiciously.
I looked at you to ask you to pick out Grandma's gift for me.
Me?
You want me to help you pick out her gift?
I didn't have much left of my first salary because I paid you back
and took out an advance.
What did you buy Grandma on her birthdays?
I went to the department store
and bought her purses, scarves,
more purses and gift cards.
Things like that.
You're supposed to buy your parents long johns with your first salary.
Forget it.
You already bought it for her. Why would I buy another one?
Forget about it.
Your salary won't even come close.
It won't even meet Grandma's standards.
It doesn't have to be something expensive.
She knows your salary. Expensive gifts won't make her feel good.
You just need to put in your heart.
What's nice but inexpensive?
I'm telling you long johns are the best!
You can buy her red long johns for winter if you don't like summer ones.
Red long johns?
The long johns are in the storage.
Bring them for me. Red long johns.
Who wears red long johns these days?
You said red long johns are the best.
You take everything word-for-word.
You have pink ones, right? Can we see them in different designs?
Yes.
Flowers for Grandma?
Grandma's a woman too.
She was widowed early, so she wouldn't have gotten many flowers.
What's her favorite flower... You wouldn't know.
Roses. Don't women like roses?
I think she would like wildflowers.
Flowers that could remind her of the old days...
They say that people live off of memories as they get older.
Who said that?
My grandma.
When she lived with me,
she would say she wanted to see flowers, and pick all of the landlord's.
My grandma did?
Let's take this. This looks pretty.
The color's nice too.
Grandma's going to be so happy.
If she is, I'll tell her that you picked them out.
Don't do that!
She would be happier
if she thinks you chose them yourself.
Goodbye then.
I need to cross the road to take the bus.
Let's have dinner.
You picked out Grandma's gifts for me,
so I'll buy you dinner.
Give her the gifts and have dinner with her.
I have lots of food at home.
Bye!
That wasn't the point.
Why are you having a girl like that continuing to work for you?
I don't want to hear any of you making fun of me.
When did we ever do that?
Seung-mi's mother may be right about Eun-sung's true self,
but Eun-sung has to prove to you and the board
that she's able to run the company so all of you won't call me a fool.
Mother, we don't have to see anything like that.
The sales at the second branch are on the rise right now.
So even if you're disgusted by her, you're still using her for business?
Maybe.
Then Mother...
can't you at least tear that will?
What?
Now that we know who she really is,
there's no reason for you to keep that will.
That's right.
What if something suddenly happens to you?
You haven't changed at all.
You think I'll leave it to you, if it isn't Eun-sung?
Who else would you leave it to?
I can just donate everything before I die!
How dare you talk about my will?
If I told you that vigorously once,
at least take it to your brain if not to your heart!
We're just afraid that it might go to Eun-sung.
You think you're more worried about the company than me?
I wouldn't ever give the company to someone that is unqualified.
You have nothing to worry about.
Hwan!
Did you buy flowers to celebrate kicking Eun-sung out?
No.
Grandma.
What's this?
I got my paycheck today.
You bought her flowers with your salary?
Are you that happy that Eun-sung's gone?
Be quiet.
For Grandma...
-For Mom... -What? For me?
Are there presents too? What about mine?
I'll buy one for you next month.
Oh, my. Oh, my goodness!
Do you even like flowers?
When I was young...
I used to go out to gather herbs and bring back a bunch of wildflowers.
My father would scold me a lot for that.
By any chance, did you see my necklace in the bathroom?
Mom, did you see anything when you were cleaning the bathroom upstairs?
-Like what? -Just anything.
Something that doesn't look like you can throw away.
So, like what?
I cleaned earlier, but I didn't find anything.
Okay.
Stop! You're still open, right?
Ms. Jang!
I look funny, don't I?
Would you like the air conditioner on?
No.
I will change later and go to bed.
It'll be winter in just a few months.
I was worried I might forget.
This is the first thing
Hwan bought for me with the money he earned.
It's nice, right?
How did Hwan
think of buying flowers for me?
Who could it be this early?
HWAN
Mr. Pyo, this is Hwan. Just answer me, okay?
What?
-Okay. -You know where Eun-sung lives, right?
Eun...
Yes, I do.
Can you tell me? Where is it?
It's a little hard to tell you right now.
Oh, wait a minute.
Don't hang up and wait. Please.
Oh, my goodness.
He's acting so nervous at her call.
Is she asking him to say, "I love you," or something this early?
What a funny old hag she must be!
So her name must be... Eun something?
Eun-sook? Eun-jeong?
Well, this doesn't feel so good.
What kind of neighborhood is this?
It would be nice if we went together.
Why would I interfere with Jun-se's work?
But it's Donghae!
From Jun-se to the manager, everyone's got their match.
For the remaining month, I'm just going to work like crazy.
I don't know about my other problems.
But I want to make the second branch successful and leave proudly.
By the way, that grandma is really hard to read.
If I were her and I believed you to be a crook, I'd just kick you out.
Maybe she believes you?
It's too big a risk...
for her to be believing me.
If Jun-se opens the cruise restaurant, I might become a manager there!
What would I do without you?
That's right. That is a problem.
-What's this? -Hey.
This is my bicycle!
It's yours?
Who brought it here then?
What's this?
There's a letter too.
I couldn't find your necklace.
How does a girl have only one necklace?
Who is this?
That jerk?
That grandma's grandson, Sunwoo Hwan?
I knew something didn't seem right,
but do you two have feelings for each other now?
It's nothing like that! No way!
Then why did he bring you your bicycle this early in the morning
and even leave you a necklace? And why are you crying?
What is it then?
It's just that I'm grateful that he believes me.
If it makes you cry when someone you don't even care about believes in you,
the streets of Seoul would be full of women crying their eyes out.
It's because of the situation I'm in.
I was just so sad that the whole family misunderstood me,
but he's telling me that he believes me.
You have Jun-se.
You two may not be going out officially,
but the one who always stood by your side was Jun-se.
-I know. -So try to think straight.
What's the use liking someone Seung-mi is crazy about?
You two were once sisters!
I told you it's nothing like that!
It can't be.
It can't. I mean it, Hye-ri.
It can't be.
Yes, make sure it can't be.
No matter how much you hate Seung-mi,
it doesn't change your past with her.
Love should be simple.
It should be comfortable.
I know.
In-yeong,
I have a favor to ask of you.
Can you help?
I COULDN'T FIND YOUR NECKLACE
PERSON I WANT TO TRUST
How many masks do you have?
You put on masks to look nice, diligent, and honest.
How many other masks do you have?
Who are you really?
Why aren't you defending yourself?
Why aren't you saying anything at all?
Shouldn't you say something?
PERSON I WANT TO TRUST
It's not like you to act nervous.
Good morning!
Did everyone have a good night?
Good morning, Mr. Lee.
Let's start with the good news.
The church told us to come not for cleaning,
but for a contract.
Really?
I was worried that I might be cleaning the restroom today.
That's really great.
And Ms. Ko, the HQ is sending us papers regarding the cruise delivery.
Prepare a proposal and get ready for the meeting.
Okay.
You know what to do, right?
And what's the cruise about?
We didn't tell because it wasn't settled. I'll explain it to you later.
NEW MESSAGE SEUNG-MI
OPEN
Hwan, let's meet tonight.
I'll call you after work.
The reason why I can't believe everything
is because of the time I spent with her.
SUPPLIER: JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY PURCHASER: JEONG BYEONG-CHUL
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
If you get a good response, I look forward to continuing our business.
Congratulations.
About what?
You went to the meeting and convinced them all on your own.
You did it.
But we cleaned together.
Let's go! Let's celebrate your achievement.
It's my treat.
Aren't you ordering any food?
The food is here.
You can eat whatever you want.
I should've known when you offered to buy.
We need to have a toast first.
You drink pretty well.
Because I'm just like my dad.
My father used to drink well too.
Tell your grandma.
Your father dying to try to save you is nothing to be sorry about.
Why are you hating yourself for something like that?
Your grandma would have done the same.
Stop it.
You're not even that mean.
I'm sorry...
for all that happened.
Don't pretend to be nice.
You know it yourself.
You said this to me before.
Why did I have to appear and stir up your life?
I'm sorry that I did.
What's wrong with you?
So from now on,
I won't do that anymore.
Here.
It's for helping me out with Grandma's gifts.
And you lost your necklace too.
Why would you give this back to me?
Because you're not someone that's going to be a part of my life.
That's why I'm giving it back.
I told you not to be nice to me.
Really?
Really...
Is he usually this late?
No. He's never broken a promise with me.
But why is he so late today of all days?
Because he's obviously still working.
He's never done this before.
Because you're not someone that's going to be a part of my life.
That's why I'm giving it back.
I COULDN'T FIND YOUR NECKLACE HOW DOES A GIRL HAVE ONLY ONE NECKLACE?

-Oh, my! -Ko Eun-sung!
Ko Eun-sung!
Hey! Ko Eun-sung!
Gosh! You're being too loud--
