Business Proposal (사내맞선)

I didn't mean to lie to you from the very beginning.

I just happened to go on that blind date, and I met Mr. Kang--

Blind date?

Why were you there?

I'm friends with Jin Young-seo of Marine Group.

She didn't want to go on the blind date, so…

And?

After Mr. Kang found out that I was a fake,

he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend.

because he didn't want to waste his time on blind dates.

So, you weren't a real couple in the first place,

but started seeing each other just to trick me?

-Yes, sir. But-- -If there's nothing between you two,

-then I don't need to hear more of this. -But…

Stop seeing Tae-moo.

I don't think you want to be in a situation

that other people may misinterpret.

Sir, I have something to tell you…

Yes, Sung-hoon.

What?

What about Tae-moo?

I'm fine!

Yes, let's go.

Mom!

Come on, Tae-moo!

Dad!

How dare you show up here?

Sir.

Didn't you hear me?

I don't want anybody to see anything that could be misinterpreted.

Grandfather…

I don't want you calling me that.

Whose fault do you think it is that Tae-moo got into an accident?

I'm fine, so don't get upset.

Are you all right, Tae-moo?

Are you hurt anywhere else?

You got into a fake relationship because you didn't want to go on blind dates?

How could you tell an absurd lie like that?

I'll be on my way now, President Kang.

Grandfather.

We're not in a fake relationship.

I love Shin Ha-ri.

EPISODE 11

Did you

know all about this, too?

I'm sorry, sir.

So you two worked together to fool me?

You bastards!

Don't be mad at Sung-hoon.

He's my secretary. Of course he's on my side.

What are you thinking?

You need to end this now!

Fine.

But…

don't expect to ever have any great-grandkids.

What?

-What do you-- -I don't think that I'll ever meet

a woman I love as much as Ha-ri.

So do as you please

if you want me to devote myself only to work and never get married.

Are you threatening me right now?

Grandfather, that's not what I--

What if I say, "Over my dead body"?

You liked her when you met her as Geum-hui.

Back then,

I didn't know that it was all a lie.

Everything about her has been a lie.

I'm the one who made her do that.

I forced her into a contractual relationship.

All of this is mostly my fault.

So direct your hate at me,

and cut her some slack.

I genuinely like her,

Grandfather.

I'm so glad that Tae-moo didn't get seriously injured.

Chairman Kang must have been really surprised.

Yes.

By the way, what did he say to you?

Did he give you money and tell you to break up?

Are you trying to cheer me up?

No, it's not that.

Don't you remember my ex from college? The guy from that indie band.

My dad gave him an envelope of money because I was so obsessed with him.

And he disappeared with that envelope.

What is this?

Why does it rain so often these days?

Young-seo, I'm sorry, but I need to go back to the hospital.

What? Why? It's raining!

I'm sorry. Could you pull over?

You should go back now, sir.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's raining outside,

so I was worried

about Tae-moo.

You can go in.

Don't turn on the lights.

What are you doing over there?

I was looking out the window.

Why did you come back?

Don't tell me…

Because you missed me?

Yes, you're right.

Come here.

Do you see that?

What about the N Seoul Tower?

I just remembered, my father told me once that the tower

looked like a Christmas tree.

What do you think?

Now that you say that, I can kind of see it.

On that day,

my father was put in a really awkward situation.

I caught him wrapping some Christmas presents for me.

I cried asking if Santa Claus didn't exist,

and my mother had a hard time calming me down.

Your parents must have been really flustered.

Yes.

But my mother told me

that Santa Claus was busy, so he asked him to wrap my presents.

She came up with a good cover.

So I kept believing in Santa Claus for a few years after that.

I don't remember the last time

I looked at the rain for this long.

Thank you for coming back because you were worried about me.

I used to hate it.

Words of sympathy or worried expressions.

I felt like no one knew what I was really feeling.

So they just felt like empty words and actions.

So I pretended to be fine, and eventually, I believed it too.

But one day…

I realized I was rotting on the inside.

So I was in a lot of pain for a while.

I think

that anybody would have felt the same.

My parents' accident…

happened because of me.

Don't go, Mom.

It's my birthday today.

Dad, you said you would go to an amusement park with me today.

Tae-moo.

We'll be right back, okay?

We're on our way back so we can go to the amusement park with you, Tae-moo.

Wait just a bit longer.

Hurry back. We're already late.

Quickly!

Tae-moo, you shouldn't talk to your mother like that.

Yes, okay.

Is Mom coming?

Yes, she is. She'll come soon. Okay?

Let's hurry.

Dad!

Tae-moo, don't look!

-Mom! -Don't look.

Mom!

Tae-moo, come on!

Mom!

Tae-moo!

Dad!

Don't cry, Tae-moo!

Mom!

I can never see

my parents' faces in my dreams.

Always only the backs of their heads.

And every time,

I think maybe they resent me.

And that's why…

they won't let me see their faces

even in my dreams.

How could you

say something so ridiculous?

Tae-moo.

Do you know how bright your smile was when you were

talking about your parents just now?

I could tell by looking at that face…

how much your parents loved you when you were growing up.

They loved you so much. Do you really think…

they resent you?

Darn it.

I'm scared now that I've heard your story.

Do you secretly think your accident was because of me and resent me for it?

Not at all.

How could you think that?

Look at this.

This is what you're doing.

How could your parents resent…

their own son?

They probably want you

to be happy, more than anybody else.

I…

thought I didn't deserve to be.

I thought that I should never…

forgive myself.

I'm sure…

your parents want you to be happy.

They probably want you

to be free from your past…

and live as happily as anybody else.

What's wrong with me?

Did I really fall asleep here?
