Secret Love Affair (밀회)

Episode 2

Come in.

Sit down.

Don't you know why you're here?

Because of yesterday.

You should be punished.

- Play like you did yesterday. - What?

I will decide after listening.

- Decide what? - Whether to turn you in or to forgive you.

I don't really understand.

Yesterday he said that he will let me go.

I will let you go if you're good. I'm the one in charge.

I can either turn you in or not turn you in.

You don't want to? Would you like to just go to the police?

I'll play then. I will.

I'm recording this.

As evidence.

I see... sure.

- Start. - Okay.

What are you doing?

I thought you were going to play.

Why can't you play? You played without even asking yesterday.

I heard you were good, so I was going to listen, but I guess not.

There are plenty of kids like you. I can't deal with them all.

Let's just do it by the book.

This is where I played up to yesterday.

You play very freely.

Do you always play like that?

- No, I... - You ignore the music sheet?

It's supposed to be played by two people.

But since I was alone...

There's a solo version.

I didn't get to see the music sheet for that.

Yesterday, I just played what I heard.

I will tell you as I'm playing.

That's what I heard.

I changed it to that.

Then I improvised that in.

And then... what else?

Take it easy and go slow.

I'll play something else

Like what?

Something that I memorized.

Go ahead.

Did he get another job?

Why wouldn't he tell us?

Maybe he's cheating.

- Is he you? - Or not.

- I just can't... - Did you get hurt?

There you go again.

Who says she can take some time off?

She thought a piece of paper would suffice?

Is Madame Han her only boss?

Who does she think she is?

I heard you gave Oh Hye Won a break.

I told her to take the day off.

Because you'd be in a bad mood.

Of course I am.

It's like a concubine siding with a servant in front of the princess.

Not a concubine. The queen.

Don't you watch your dramas?

I'm her boss.

She'll have to be disciplined.

Well I hope you reconsider.

- Oh yeah. - What?

There's something else you should reconsider.

Don't get too involved with the school.

You know it's not your business.

Only the professors have authority over admitting students.

I don't want to pressure them every season of admission.

What if there are rumors?

They should be careful then.

I heard you asked for favors for three piano students, making it ten in total.

You think a Seohan University acceptance letter is a dish you bring to a potluck?

They are not favors. They are recommendations.

I'm recommending too.

You can't recommend just anyone.

The academy should seek talent for them.

And the Art Foundation should sponsor them.

That's our obligation.

They all went through very strict screening processes.

Screening? By who?

You?

What a load of...

Ma'am.

Where is she? What's she doing right now?

She's with a student.

Student? Who?

I've never seen him either. The assistant professor brought him.

Is this how you fool around?

- I'm auditioning. - What audition?

Are you selling admissions?

How dare you to say something like that?

You were taking a day off for your side job?

I am taking a day off. This makes me happy.

- And it's tasteful for my ears. - Stop being such a goody two shoes.

Whose son is he? How much are you getting paid for this?

- It's not like that. - What's in it for you?

This won't do. I'll call you when it's over. Go have fun or whatever.

Hey!

Hey!

I know all of you are working together!

Madame Han, Chancellor Min... your husband, and you.

I will make all of you kneel.

Where are you?

That's good. I need to see you afterward.

I need to know what you are doing.

I'm giving you a chance here for the loyalty you once had for me.

I'll call you. Huh?

Okay.

You came together.

- Yeah. - You came first.

- Is it ready? - Yes sir.

One second.

Seo Young Woo wants to see us.

It's probably about yesterday.

I can take care of that on my own. But I don't think it's about that.

Okay, call me, and I will be there.

She never grows up. Her moves are so predictable.

Does she have to be so predictable?

Why bother? I want to make a scene.

Let her see them. There's nothing to be careful about.

Just make her talk a lot.

Okay.

- Yes ma'am? - Yes.

Seo Young Woo is going to see Kang Joon Hyung this afternoon.

Ah... yes Mrs. Chairwoman.

You don't have to address me like that every time you speak.

It makes me cringe. I feel like a mob wife.

Everyone working here is working for art and culture.

Duly noted.

I don't know about her.

Leave her alone.

- Who? Jeon Woo Ra? - Her mom is Baek.

- Who's Baek? - You know, the fund manager.

The one they call the Seer?

She's not a seer, she's just a fortune teller.

She's a joint partner at the chairwoman's place.

That's irrelevant.

But we are asking for her advice on our fund management.

But won't Jo In Seo object?

There's an article about exclusion.

I think this may cause an uproar.

I have a bad feeling about this too.

The young people on that side too.

You know, netizens can find out the truth quickly.

Squeeze in one or two prodigies.

So that they won't object.

We just need to show that we picked based on talent.

For Jo, a student like Ji Min Woo is his asset and weapon.

Of course he cares.

Then can I add one too?

You have someone?

- I'm verifying. - Then let's talk after.

And your private lesson students that were excluded from the list.

You have to notify them beforehand.

I called the parents and told them honestly.

That they were not good enough, and they should apply somewhere else.

I recommended them for other schools.

That's good.

There's quite a few for cello right?

I already took care of them.

They are all hopeless. Even their cellos are cheap.

- And we have President Seo's kids left? - Yes.

Why do we have so many recommendations this year?

She's so frustrating. But I have to deal with her because she's my sister-in-law.

But we have no choice. She owns the school.

And that's why we're here to stop her interference.

Not because Madame Han is a splendid person.

Then why don't we find a settlement point?

We can't shorten the list here. It's full.

Did you listen to him?

My house?

Hye Won was teaching some kid.

Did you get to listen to him? Is he good?

Whatever. I care about the looks first.

Right.

I forgot about your preference.

He looked alright.

- Let me see him later. - Don't even dream about it.

He could be my student later.

Of course.

Jo In Seo doesn't even look at the students who got in through connections.

- Connections? - I'm sorry.

You were caught in the act.

Caught?

Yes, that's already in place.

Professor Kang just entered.

Yes.

This is my conclusion. Oh Hye Won is involved in selling admissions.

Right?

Absolutely not!

Don't you know Hye Won's character?

You think I'm doing this to get Hye Won?

I'm going to throw Madame Han and Chancellor Min in jail.

And reclaim you and your wife's allegiances again.

I want to reclaim our old friendship.

Let's make a deal. Give me the list of students who got in through connections.

Including their parents' profile and details of the deal.

I will leave you out of it.
