Cinderella's Stepsister (Cinderella's Sister / Sinderella Eonni / 신데렐라 언니)

Cinderella's Sister

Episode 14

Is it possible...

Would it be possible, Father...

Couldn't you throw all this aside?

Hong Joo Ga and the chairman position.

Couldn't you step down from all this?

That could be the easiest way out.

Instead of putting in so much effort to hold onto it,

letting go can be much easier.

If you do this, Father...

I have dreams too.

What you, Hyung and I did to Dae Seong Cham Do Ga,

I'll reveal everything and take responsibility for it all

and when I bring the company back to what it was when Ahjussi was still alive...

You, not being a part of Hong Joo Ga anymore,

I could have you live with me in a small house

and play baduk*,

go fishing together.

And also... and this is completely hypothetical,

if a certain brat forgives me,

I'll plead on my knees and bring her in as your daughter-in-law,

and give you pocket money from what we both earn.

If we have a child, you can help raise it.

I would love to live this way.

Father.

Couldn't you leave everything aside and live like this with me?

Couldn't you do this for me, Father?

Please answer me.

Couldn't you do this?!

The fact that you collapsed after hearing me say

that I was abandoning you should mean that you don't want to lose me either.

Isn't that right, Father?

Isn't it?!

I can't let go.

I won't let go.

I won't do anything to you.

So from now on, don't try and stop me either.

Whatever responsibility you feel towards Dae Seong Cham Do Ga,

whether you live as its watchman or its fisherman,

don't try and interfere any longer.

However.

Even though I won't lift a finger against you from now on, Ki Jeong's different.

Ki Jeong will conspire against you.

If it comes to be too much, you'll need me too.

Go on home.

Don't you have to get back to protecting Dae Seong Cham Do Ga?

Can't I lean on you?

Go ahead.

I... was rejected, Mom.

Officially.

I had someone that I liked.

You didn't know, right?

That person rejected me.

I brought her to your neighborhood, but I can't take her any further.

You come and bring her home.

I'm leaving.

Wait.

Do you have somewhere to go?

Wait.

Get it away!

If you're on the brink of starving, don't call anyone else, call me.

Forget about it!

Don't come here, tell me to meet you where you are.

Okay?

Noona.

Are you okay?

Unni.

Won't you play with me?

Why?

I... was brushed aside by the man that I like.

I was rejected.

Won't you play with me?

My heart...

Felt like it was being ripped to shreds, Unni.

Jung Woo.

Jung Woo.

I have something I have to tell him.

Send him out for a second.

Jung Woo, are you sleeping?

Send him out for a second... your roommate.

You said you were going to protect after her.

You said you were going to look after her!

How could you throw her aside right now?

How could you do that to a girl who's already grief-stricken and emotionally raw?

Do you know what kind of kid she is?

Even though she knows that my mom and I aren't on her side and push her away,

she's a kid that thinks it's a huge relief that she has an unni and a mom like us.

She only had one person who she liked without regarding anything else but him.

Did that one person need to act in such a way?

Are you done?

With your out of line scolding?

What?

Did I need to accept her?

No matter my circumstances?

A kid who I can never see as a woman...

Just because she likes me, I had to?

Am I not entitled to having feelings or ideas?

What? Because I have debts against Ahjussi?

Do I have to accept her with the intention of repaying my debts?

Do you repay your debts in such a ridiculous manner, you punk?!

- Why did it have to be right now... - That's enough.

Stop it, you punk.

Do you actually mean what you said?

Can you place your hand on your chest and claim it as truth?

The things you want to say to me... are they sincerely what you're saying now?

What are you going to do if I say to you,

"Okay, I was wrong. I'll accept Hyo Seon."?

Do you honestly want to hear me say that?

Is that how you feel?

Then what's my truth?

You should know very well.

- What? - What?

- That's right, what?! - You...

and me...

Try saying something like that to me one more time.

If you say something like that again...

My desire to throw everything aside is up to the tip of my chin,

and I'm the verge of not caring anymore,

not about Ahjussi's kindness or the sins I committed,

throwing everything away...

Just having you is enough for me.

If I had you, I could boldly forget about all of the wrongs I committed

and get on with my life.

That's the only thing I want right now.

Hyo Seon?

Is that really how you feel?

Huh?

Huh?!

I can't, Eun Jo yah.

It's already too late now.

I can't.

Even though I can't understand why, I can't.

Even though it's so unfair it drives me insane,

I still can't.

Re-think your decision about Hyo Seon.

If she despairs even more than she is now, I don't think I can handle it.

Have a good trip.

Okay.

You've packed a good amount of samples, right?

Yeah.

If we use that machine, we'll definitely succeed, right?

I'll give it a try.

You have to keep your promise that you'll play with me when you come back, okay?

All right.

Noona, get in. There's not much time before the flight.

Have a good trip.

There are a lot of things that need to be done at Do Ga.

Yeah. I know.

While Eun Jo's away in Japan, you have to do all of it.

Okay. Go first, I need to get something before I go.

Dong Soo, it's me. What happened with what I asked you to do for me?

Okay.

Keep looking into it then.

I'll be waiting.

What did you ask him to do?

You don't need to know.

How long will you be gone?

Huh?

I asked how long you'll be gone.

Huh?

What did you say?

Forget it, it's nothing.

Try saying something like that to me one more time.

If you say something like that again...

My desire to throw everything aside is up to the tip of my chin,

and I'm the verge of not caring anymore,

not about Ahjussi's kindness or the debts I need to repay,

just having you is enough.

If I had you,

I could boldly forget about all of the wrongs I committed and get on with my life.

That's the only thing I want right now.

Where is she right now?

W- w-wait! Don't tell her that it was me...

Joon Soo's mom, are you inside?!

What brings you here so suddenly?

Go on in.

What do you mean, Aunt?

I heard about it before I came so don't even think about denying it.

Quietly pack your bags and leave this house.

What do you mean pack my bags?

Couldn't you explain what you're talking about first?

You were fooling Hyo Seon's father for 8 years and leading a double life?!

What?

What are you talking about?

There's no point in further discussion.

Since you're the mother of Joon Soo,

I'll keep all of this a secret from Hyo Seon and everyone else.

So be grateful that I'm not going to speak of this to anyone

and leave this house immediately.

Aunt, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Aigoo, my poor nephew!

He was the victim in all of this!

I knew something like this would happen, I just knew it!

What kind of humiliating fiasco is this for our family?

Stop making such a ruckus! Do you have evidence?

I'm asking if you have evidence.

Bring me some evidence that I was leading a double life if you have it, Aunt.

This manipulative fox!

Who said that?
