About your mom...

Should I let her go?

As your daughter,

I'd say...

I want you and Mom to stay together and live happily for a long time.

But you know,

as a woman...

Dad.

I think it would be the right thing to do.

You always take your mother's side.

I don't know what to do.

With what?

Every February,

I was busy organizing things for students who were graduating.

But I have no idea how I can let your mom go...

and graduate from this marriage.

I'm only...

going to ask you this once...

as a man...

who loves you.

Will you come with me?

Dad.

How did you manage to say goodbye every year?

Having to part with your students every year...

Wasn't it difficult?

Saying goodbye doesn't mean you'll never see them again.

They're just no longer at the school.

When they run into a hurdle in life,

they might think of my advice. "Right, Mr. Ha told me to do this."

And from time to time, I wonder how they're doing.

Just like that, you always stay in each other's life.

Then why can't you do that with Mom?

I just can't let her go.

She was my life partner for nearly 40 years.

Even if there are tons of things that she resents and hates about me,

I want her to remember at least one good thing about me...

and know that our marriage wasn't only filled with bad memories.

I want to...

patch things up with your mother.

Some say that love is eternal.

What does that really mean?

How do you...

make love last?

The company gave her all the support to grow Sono.

But as soon as he told her to take Sono and run it on her own...

Our sales numbers will take a big hit.

Sono was our best-selling brand...

although it wasn't new and exciting anymore.

Why didn't you bring Sono's monthly sales report?

Are you soldiers awaiting discharge?

Where did your discipline go?

- I was just... - Darn it.

I'm so impressed by President Hwang.

To start your own brand,

you'd need a factory, fabric, and even an office.

Your severance pay won't cut it.

But he's letting us use all the resources.

I'm most happy about not having to fight with Mr. Koh anymore.

We can do anything we want as long as Ms. Ha is okay with it.

You think I start fights for no reason?

You've been visiting our office very often lately.

Do you think you made Sono on your own?

I supported you and took care of all the risk management.

That's why Sono can be where it is today.

Gosh, you people...

Have you no heart? I can't believe you're ditching us.

You're not buying us something to drink to cheer us up?

Why should I? Not a chance!

I never stop people who want to leave.

- Now, that's the Mr. Koh we know. - Submit your monthly sales report.

And the detailed strategic plan too. By the end of the day.

How can we finish them by the end of the day?

- I don't know! - But...

- Submit them today. - But...

Just do as I say!

Goodness.

He's back to being his usual self.

Come on. Let's get to work.

If Sono becomes an independent label,

there will be many changes within the company.

Since Vision PR will now take care of all our advertising needs...

You don't need to do that anymore.

What?

You don't need to get Vision PR involved because of me.

What are you talking about?

Since when did you think so highly of Vision PR?

In the past, you had zero interest in the company.

You're doing this on purpose...

so things would work out between me and Mr. Seok.

That's what you're paying him for.

What? So you're saying...

I spent all that money on marketing...

and hired Vision PR...

just so I could marry you off to him? Is that it?

Yes, that's exactly what you did.

You foolish brat.

Yes, I am foolish.

But whose fault is it that I ended up like this?

You always click your tongue at me. You never trust me...

and always treat me like a fool.

It's not like I want to be a loser.

I don't want to be such a pathetic fool.

You see, I tried my best to make it work.

You shouldn't have stepped in.

You should've patiently waited.

Instead, you gave him all the ads because you couldn't trust me.

Do you have any idea how pathetic I felt?

You made me feel like a complete loser.

What do you take me for?

You're my dad. What else?

You're really frustrating me here.

You've been working closely with me. Shouldn't you know me better by now?

Have you seen me treat incompetent people with respect?

Think about the time when you were head over heels for Jimmy.

I never even considered that punk a professional model.

So I got it all wrong?

I have so many employees,

and they all have families to feed.

I'd never waste the company's money just so you could get hitched!

Did you really think your father could stoop so low?

But I won it with nothing but my hard work.

It's true that I liked you,

and it's also true that's how I got to know the president.

Do you think that made my job easier?

No. It made my work harder.

Because I have to do even better so no one says what you did.

And you, of all people,

are doubting me now?

I'm done listening to such offensive words.

Please leave my office.

Then why did it have to be Mr. Seok of all people?

Am I not allowed to work with the guys you date?

No. It's not that, but...

Date him or break up with him, I don't care. Suit yourself.

I just think that he's a capable, sensible young man,

and I like the way he thinks,

so I'm going to keep working with him.

- Why are you so downcast today? - What?

My blood sugar must've hit rock bottom.

It's just one of those days.

You wake up with pillow marks all over your face,

and they take forever to go away.

Even the things...

you were able to forget about after a glass of drink...

stay on your mind, and you can't shake them off.

Are you really going to move out?

When will you move out, then?

I'm not sure.

You won't say you're not leaving.

So I'm really all alone now.

Why are you alone? What about Mr. Seok?

We broke up.

What?

A limited-edition...

Hey, it's so easy to give up on a limited-edition.

Gosh, don't worry. I'm totally fine.

It's not like he proposed to me, or had a wedding venue booked.

Don't worry. It's fine.

Do you realize that's the fifth one?

You said it was a misunderstanding on your part.

Just apologize to him and...

He agreed to end things as if he was waiting.

Maybe you said mean things to him again.

Sometimes when you talk,

you blurt things out without realizing it.

You can't always say nice things.

So you did say things that you shouldn't have said.

Whatever, I don't care anymore.

By the way,

are you all right?

With that?

J.

Are you sure you'll be okay without him around?

(Woori Photo Studio, Open until the end of the month)

Yes.

Right, I'll clear the space by the weekend.

I'll give you the door code. Feel free to show it to people.

Okay.

I'm getting another call.

Just a moment.

Okay, thank you.

Hello, yes.

- Hello, Ms. Ha. - Hello, you're here too.

Yes. Cookie is tall,

but he doesn't really know how to get things done.

I'm technically his agent,

and he's like my little brother, you know.

Actually, I saw Chi Sook just before I left the office.

I don't need to be too worried, right?

That's right. You don't need to worry.

There was a small misunderstanding,

but it's something the two of us need to deal with.

It may take some time,

but it's one of the things that we need to overcome anyway.

Don't leave her alone for too long. She's hurt, so please comfort her.

I know, and I will.
