Little Women (작은 아씨들)

It's my fault.

If only…

I hadn't gone after that money.

If only I hadn't brought back that orchid.

What are you talking about?

Why is it your fault that this happened to Great-Aunt?

In-joo!

Wake up, In-joo!

OH HYE-SEOK OH IN-KYUNG

I heard she saw everything.

She's been silent ever since.

Completely? She won't say anything at all?

That's why the investigation is slow.

The only witness won't talk.

Could she have been involved in her death in any way?

Could it be because of the inheritance?

I knew Chairwoman Oh.

I knew her personally.

When I was little, she used to come over often.

She was our family nurse.

She's the one who was by my side

on the day my mother passed away.

I used to call her "Syringe Lady."

Why did you give me that orchid?

You said it would show me

what I really wanted.

I had a nightmare.

I was terrified,

so I went to check on my great-aunt.

The next thing I knew,

I was crying

with my bleeding great-aunt in my arms.

Why did you give that to me?

Did my great-aunt die

because of that orchid?

I was only in high school

when I found my mother dead.

I had no idea what I was supposed to do.

If it wasn't for Syringe Lady,

I would have fallen apart.

What did my great-aunt…

do to help you?

She told me to close the door to the room.

She said if I could neither understand nor accept what I saw,

I should just keep the door closed

and move on with my life.

And when the day comes

that I can finally understand what happened,

I can reopen that door in my heart.

"Don't let this overwhelm you."

"Whatever this is,

your life matters more."

If it weren't for her advice,

I don't think I would've managed…

to live this life.

And I'd like to tell you the same thing.

If Chairwoman Oh were alive,

she would have done so herself.

The Chairwoman's death has nothing to do with that orchid.

Believe me.

The orchid was just supposed to be

a token of our friendship.

When did you open that door again?

I never did.

I'm still…

living my life as I did then.

But that's not the kind of person I am.

I'll never close that door.

I won't stop until I find an explanation.

And until then…

I won't even trust you, Director Won Sang-a.

The deceased left behind a home,

land, forests, buildings, stocks, bonds, and cash among others.

All in all, they're worth about 28 billion won in total.

Regarding her home and the stocks to her company,

she chose her great-niece, Ms. Oh In-kyung…

as the sole inheritor.

As for the rest of the assets,

she wanted them to be equally distributed among the other family members.

Moving on to her liabilities.

Here's the list.

A mortgage of 12 billion won.

Secured loans and mortgage trusts of 19.5 billion won.

Hold on, her liabilities…

That's more than the total worth of her assets.

Including bonds, her liabilities are estimated to be 36 billion won.

That's ridiculous.

So basically, all she had was debt.

Let me have a look.

In this case, the fastest and simplest way would be to disclaim--

-I'll disclaim the inheritance. -I see.

I'll disclaim the inheritance too.

But that means the debt can be transferred to the other inheritors.

If one of you accepts the inheritance under the benefit of inventory--

We've already disclaimed the inheritance, so count us out.

I'll do it.

I believe that's what the deceased would have wanted as well.

If you allow me, I'll take care of the rest.

Aunt Hye-seok was always fond of In-kyung, wasn't she?

In-kyung was always such a smart girl.

How long have you been here?

Who did it?

I don't know.

You warned me that night, saying I would be in danger.

That's how you could be there before anyone else.

You knew something was going to happen, didn't you?

Now that I think of it, you were never startled by any of this.

Don't play dumb.

We both know that's bullshit.

I'm sincerely sorry about your loss.

But I really didn't know.

To tell you the truth, I'm just as startled as you are.

Tell me who did it or I won't go to Singapore.

Will you call this a minor inconvenience and tell me to put up with it?

I already made plans for when you decided not to go.

You don't have to push yourself.

Be upset with me

for once.

Don't you see that I'm upset with you?

Let's split ninety-ten. No, hundred-zero.

You can take it all.

I'll give you all that money,

so find who killed my great-aunt.

Find out who killed Hwa-young and my great-aunt.

Once they're behind bars,

the money is all yours.

I have a week before I fly out to Singapore.

I won't be able to find the culprit by then.

Even if I did,

we might not be able to secure any solid evidence.

And even if we do find evidence,

the money will still be split sixty-forty

just as we promised before.

I promised to keep you safe

until I leave for Singapore, remember?

Are you saying

that you'll look into who the culprit is?

I'm telling you to be ready

to leave for Singapore anytime.

I was going to put off grieving for her for the time being.

Because there's a lot to do.

I wanted to cry after finding out why Great-Aunt died.

But this was too much.

She went bankrupt because of me.

It's not your fault.

It's Park Jae-sang's fault.

To Great-Aunt, her company was like her child.

Seeing her business fail would have been more painful to her than dying.

She wanted me to take over her company and keep it prosperous for a long time.

That was why she raised me.

How will I make up for this?

You don't need to. You didn't do anything wrong.

It's not sadness I feel.

It's pain.

It hurts so much.

In-kyung.

If anyone should be held responsible, it should be me, not you.

I'll take care of everything from here.

So don't let this hold you back and get on with your life.

"Hi, In-kyung."

Here are the passwords to her bank accounts.

These are the house keys.

This is for the sedan,

and this is for the SUV.

What is this for?

She didn't mention anything about that.

IN-KYUNG'S ROOM

I know you hate this kind of stuff, Great-Aunt.

I do too, but I'm writing it anyway.

Thank you for raising me.

Hey, In-joo.

In-kyung, turn on the news.

The person who killed Great-Aunt turned himself in.

To Pyeongchang-dong, please.

-Mr. Cheon Sang-hyeok! -Wait!

-Why did you kill her? -Anything to say to her family?

It's wrong to kill someone,

but I had a good reason.

If you check out my ETube channel, The Sinking Real Estate Market,

it'll show you why I did what I did.

I'm sure you'll understand once you see it.

What's that bastard going on about?

Damn it!

I don't believe this.

He was in charge of Great-Aunt's meals for years.

Mr. Cheon Sang-hyeok.

Chairwoman Oh Hye-seok said the real estate market would never crash.

But I ended up going broke.

For the past few years, I've prepared for this day

through physical and mental training.

Today…

I will punish the demoness of the real estate world.

Did he start working for her with the intention of harming her?

Did he prepare her meals for two years because he wanted to kill her?

Cheon Sang-hyeok was well-known in the housing market pessimist forums.

Someone could have hired him to kill Great-Aunt.

By the way,

tell me.

What was that orchid that we found next to Great-Aunt?

Why did you say that it was your fault that she died?
