ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

As long as you feel at ease now.

Thank you

for bringing me all the way here.

Yes.

They're together.

The photos will look nice.

Don't worry.

I always protect my informants.

EPISODE 14

It's Tiger Balm.

Apply it to alleviate any type of pain.

That's nice.

Mr. Han, you should try this.

It's from Won. It's nice and cooling.

- Sir. - Yes?

The media wish to report on Mr. Gu Won.

They should.

Of course they should.

For the first time in Korea, our hotel will launch a global chain.

They won't find a better story than that.

It's not that.

It's a love scandal.

- Love scandal? - Yes.

Chairman Han must have leaked the story first.

It's all right.

They'll get married soon.

That's not the story.

Please take a look.

3RD-GEN CHAEBOL'S SECRET LOVE AFFAIR, KING HOTEL SUCCESSOR AND ORDINARY WOMAN

It'll be published online soon.

Stop it immediately.

Offer to buy ads or threaten to pull them out.

Stop it at any cost.

Yes, sir.

He'll offer to buy ads or threaten to pull them out,

but I'll double whatever my father proposes.

So publish the article.

Doesn't our cafeteria taste awful after we outsourced the catering?

Right?

When we had full-time caterers,

I always looked forward to lunch at work.

Do you come to work to eat?

Learn to be thankful for getting lunch vouchers.

You'll only learn once you start paying for your lunch.

My gosh!

You surprised me.

Why? What is it?

There's an article on Mr. Gu.

- What? - What surprised you so much?

My gosh!

"Third-generation chaebol's secret love affair."

That's a feisty title.

She's an ordinary woman.

He's in love regardless of her social status. How cool.

I always knew he was manly.

It says she's ordinary,

but she must be a daughter of a small business.

It's a different world.

Even so, don't you envy her?

Her status just skyrocketed.

- Yes. - Right.

People like us wouldn't even have a chance.

Why would you envy her?

Don't even dream about it.

We're still free to dream.

- Isn't that so, Sa-rang? - Sorry?

Why do you ask me that?

Aren't I allowed to ask?

Everyone is too uptight.

But wait.

The woman who got blurred out

kind of looks like Sa-rang.

What do you mean?

No, not at all.

No, she reminds me of you.

Yes, she has a similar vibe.

- I think so too. - Right?

- That looks like her. - The vibe.

- It looks just like her. - Yes.

- They do look alike. - Yes.

They're similar.

It's not like it's a Magic Eye.

She's all blurred out,

so how could you know if I look like her?

- But it looks like her. - Yes.

It can't be Sa-rang.

- Right. - No way.

- I think it's her. - Maybe.

Anyway, Sa-rang.

Where are you going?

To the restroom.

It's that way.

I feel like going to the one that's far away over there.

I get it.

- It makes no sense. - No.

- It's her. - It's nonsense.

Are you busy? Were you leaving?

Did you see it?

Yes, just now.

I got worried,

so I was coming over.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Did we do something wrong?

No, not at all.

Exactly.

It's nothing wrong, so don't be sorry.

But the article went out.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm not sure yet. I'm still out of it.

But I came to tell you I'm fine and that you shouldn't worry.

You were worried about me?

Of course. You're the one I love the most.

If something ever happens again,

don't hesitate to come find me, just as you did now.

If you can't come, you can call me.

If I do, will you come over right away?

Of course I will.

I'll run over right away.

Whenever it is, wherever you are.

Mr. Gu, this is bad!

My gosh, things are worse in here.

Sa-rang, you were here.

Knock first. This isn't your office.

Why are you two here together in the midst of this turmoil?

Only I get the urgency.

- I get it, so leave for a moment. - No.

I can't. This is a total emergency.

I'll go.

I have to go back to my shift.

Goodbye, Mr. Yoo.

I mean, Mr. No.

Okay, thanks.

Please take a seat.

What's happened has happened,

so our priority is to resolve this scandal wisely.

Such a term only applies to gossip.

This isn't a scandal. These were facts.

Anyway,

make sure Sa-rang's identity isn't revealed.

I don't care about me,

- but she must be protected. - Yes.

I met with the head of the PR team.

They'll do whatever they can

to make sure there aren't more articles on this.

You don't have to worry about that.

The problem is that this won't be the end of it.

What do you mean?

Why was this article released at this point in time?

I kept thinking about it

and concluded that it had to be Ms. Gu.

- No Sang-sik. - Yes.

Don't jump to conclusions unless you're sure.

I said it because I have reason to be suspicious.

A few days ago,

Ms. Gu

summoned me.

Mr. No, you're with me from now on.

Make sure you report everything related to Mr. Gu to me.

What do you mean by everything?

Everything.

From his professional life to his personal life.

Report everything back to me. Do not leave anything out.

In that case,

how high can I go by helping you?

How's head manager?

Doesn't that sound like a good deal?

Head manager?

That's nowhere near enough.

What?

I thought you'd offer to make me president of a subsidiary company.

The head manager's position isn't enough

for me to betray my friend.

That trivial friendship?

To me,

he's too good of a friend to call him trivial.

I'll pretend I never heard this.

I'm sorry.

She offered me your job

if I reported on your personal life.

When I wasn't shaken,

I suppose

she had someone else dig up dirt on you.

Why didn't you accept it?

Exactly. I should've accepted it.

I was just too loyal.

You lost that great chance over some loyalty?

Exactly, it was a huge miscalculation.

I must be insane.

No Sang-sik, you crazy man. You fool.

You should've accepted it.

I must be crazy.

Thanks.

Sorry?

Forget it if you missed it.

"Thanks." I heard you.
