Love & Secret (Sweet Secret / Dalkomhan Bimil / 달콤한 비밀)

Episode 53

I'll just say what I need to say and go.

Yes, Ms. Oh.

Don't see Areum anymore.

I'm not sure why you want to be with Areum,

but this isn't right for either of you.

Ms. Oh...

I don't want to hear anything from you,

so don't say anything.

I'm not doing this because she's a single mom.

I don't like your mother

or your father.

I don't want Areum

to marry into a family like that.

I understand what you're saying.

But we haven't even started anything.

We haven't been able to.

To make you and Areum comfortable,

I'll take all necessary measures

and then start.

You don't seem to understand.

This isn't the time for you to be dating.

Your mother

sat me and Areum down before her

and asked me if you two were dating or not.

What are you trying to start?

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

If I knew, I would've stopped her.

I still want Areum to marry

the father of her child.

Not just want.

I'll make Areum marry that man.

So stay away from my daughter.

What's this?

Excuse me.

You're Mr. Ha Yunsu, right?

Who are you?

A week ago,

you handed over designs to a factory, right?

What's your problem?

I made those designs!

I know you distributed the designs.

If the file doesn't have a watermark on it,

you know that'd be considered stealing, right?

So what do you want then?

Just tell me whom you got the file from.

You won't be held accountable any further.

That's really all I need to tell you?

Yes, we bought up all the clothes,

and luckily, the design wasn't officially released.

I wasn't looking for who used the stolen design.

I want to find out who gave them to you.

She left the USB in a subway locker for me.

The strange thing is,

after I got the designs,

she told me she didn't want to be paid.

That means money wasn't her objective.

The next stop is Sincheon.

Before the news gets around the company,

you must do something about Areum.

I told Seongun to get her to resign.

It'll be handled soon.

A forced resignation?

She caused this huge mess.

It's only right that she quits on her own.

I don't understand why she did such a thing.

Sir, Ms. Han has something to tell you.

Sit down.

What is it?

I found the broker

who handed my designs to the factory.

He is a broker who works professionally

Dongdaemun wholesale market.

And?

A young woman approached him and

offered Winners' unreleased designs

and asked to make a deal with him.

A young woman? Who would that be?

You should catch her to prove your innocence.

Right.

Unfortunately, she used a burner phone

and made the trade with a subway locker.

Since she covered her tracks well,

it was difficult to identify her.

However, there's a high chance that

she is someone who works at Winners.

What are you saying?

She works here?

Listen, Areum.

If you have something to say,

give us conclusive evidence first.

Don't give out some unnecessary details.

My file had a passcode on it,

so only the security team and the legal team

and a few others had the ability

to unlock it.

So someone unlocked the file

and stole the design?

You're not admitting your own guilt?

Are you framing someone else?

I'm not trying to framing anyone.

I don't want to be falsely accused of

selling my designs to get back at the company.

How will you do that?

Do you have any proof to show us?

I have something to show you.

Who is this?

She's the one who gave the file to the broker.

She used the subway locker

and was caught on the security cameras.

You can't even see her clearly.

Yes, but the time indicated here

states that it was 6:23 p.m.

At that time, I was working at the office

and I stayed there until 9 p.m.

That can be verified through security footage

and my fellow design team members.

Do you think we're fools?

Who would do such a risky act themselves?

You probably hired someone.

That may be.

Or it may not be.

What are you saying?

The woman who gave over the file

refused to accept the $8,000 payment.

As you said,

maybe I did it out of malice for the company,

so I refused the money

and sold out the designs.

Or maybe someone felt malice towards me

and is trying to frame me.

Okay, I don't want to hear any more of this.

I get what you're saying so you may go now.

I can't believe that woman.

You don't believe her, do you?

I'll talk to Seongun about this,

so why don't you get back to work?

Yes, sir.

If you confessed, you'd still barely be forgiven.

If you are like this,

the company won't just let this slide.

Right after your father's fiasco,

his daughter will go under police investigation.

Will you be okay with that?

Yes.

During investigations,

the woman from the video will be revealed.

Whether the police investigate or not,

I will definitely find out for myself.

I still want Areum to marry

the father of her child.

Not just want.

I'll make Areum marry that man,

so stay away from my daughter.

What happened?

I was going to call you.

I found the person.

The one who handed the design over

was caught on the subway security camera.

If we figure out who that is,

we will be able to solve this.

Okay, that's great.

What did I tell you? I told you it'd work out.

Did you tell President Cheon?

Yes, now he at least knows

that I wasn't the one who did it.

Then relax now.

You too.

I came to tell you so you wouldn't worry.

Okay, thanks.

I'll get going.

Wait.

Yes?

Never mind. Go ahead.

Okay.

Yes, father?

What are you saying?

What do you mean you want to cancel

the children's clothing line launch?

We nearly had a disaster on our hands

and you want to add fuel to that fire?

Forget the whole thing.

We don't have the infrastructure for that line,

and we don't need to take that risk.

Do you know how hard she worked on this?

She's the one who caused this mess!

You know it's not her fault!

Regardless of who did this,

it's Areum's fault for being careless!

How dare you defend her before me!

And get her to resign as I told you.

I won't do that.

Of course you will!

The K-project is over now.

Areum doesn't have anything more

to do on the design team now.

Want me to send her back the warehouse?

She was wrongfully framed.

Until Areum is proven innocent,
