[Announcement: Personnel Change]
[Kang Chan Jin, formerly Team Leader of Marketing, Current Department Director]
Were you on your way to see me?
Yes.
I was just wanting to meet with you too.
Go in.
Greetings.
- Greetings, Chairman. - Greetings.
Chairman?!
[11: Chan Jin Behind the Veils]
Working under a young head manager is enough of a headache,
now we have a young director on top of that.
Hello, Director Seong?
What? The chairman?
Yes, I understand.
Why did he have to come while Director Seong is out?
Where are you going?
The chairman has arrived.
You want to go alone so you can showcase yourself, huh?
Bring me along.
How can I bring you under the current conditions?!
Director Seong will be at the office in an hour.
She said I have to do whatever it takes to prevent the chairman from leaving.
What ability do I have to stop the chairman?
That's true.
When the Head Manager started in his position
we didn't even see a glimpse of the chairman.
This is strange.
Is Team Leader Kang's promotion that big of a deal?
I can't help feeling something isn't right.
You've never heard the rumor that they're half-brothers, with the same dad?
Hey! Shh...
That's what I heard.
I personally approved Chan Jin's promotion.
At my age, there's so much that I don't know and many areas I'm lacking.
Don't you know that he thinks a position can give you those capabilities?
That's how it was for me too.
I know you'll be of assistance to me.
That's how I feel too, that's why...
I want to split the stock shares evenly between you two.
Chairman!
I believe that if you two join forces,
the company can rise to the top of the industry.
I won't say any more. I should go.
I'm curious about something.
Are you proud because Chan Jin and I are as close as brothers
or are you proud because we're actually brothers related by blood?
I'm not a rebellious youth.
And it’s something that shouldn’t happen to Father.
And I thought about doing other tests as well, but...
Chan Jin doesn't seem to know either.
I want to hear it straight from you.
What exactly is my relationship with Chan Jin?
Some people have no idea how to read situations.
We don't need tea, take it away.
Yes, Sir.
Do you feel slighted because I'm giving Chan Jin shares?
I just want to know the truth.
What truth?
You two are closer than blood brothers, so why does it matter?
Whether or not you're related by blood, is it even relevant?
You know I can’t stand not knowing what I want to know.
Do his toes resemble mine? Or is it his nose?
Think as hard as you want. There’s no resemblance between us.
That's my answer.
Oh! Go on with your work.
Let's go to your office.
- Your office is that way, right? - Yes.
Jin Ju, bring the tea to my office.
Yes.
It's all going exactly according to my prediction.
But, why is the director still not here yet?
Who knows?
Taxi!
Oh, taxi! Double! Double!
I'll pay double!
Do they look alike?
Thank you for your generous affection, but can’t you rescind the offer?
Is it because of Jun Su's reaction?
There are unpleasant rumors circulating at the office too.
I don't want it to affect Hyung.
Don't pay any mind to rumors and such.
Then...
at least forget about increasing my shares, please?
I can't steal what belongs to Hyung.
I raised you like my own son, but apparently you don't feel the same way.
That's why you feel uncomfortable receiving.
Do you not like the special treatment?
That makes me sad.
Sir...
Compared to what you've given me,
what I've given you is nothing at all.
Just say thank you and accept it.
With time, Jun Su will accept it too. Okay?
They’re the new people who joined the company?
Yes, yes.
The elevator is broken at a time like this. I'll be right there.
Assistant Manager Song, go tell the chairman you have something to report to him.
Just drag it out for 5 minutes. Got it?
Yes, I understand.
Oh! He's leaving.
That witless Byun So Ra...
Is she going to tell the chairman
everything that Director Seong and I did to her?
Oh, no!
Thank you.
The chairman... Jun Su sunbae's father?
How many years have you been with the company?
I've been an employee since last year.
Do experienced employees handle these tasks themselves?
I believe that work is work, regardless of position.
Oh, really?
Here.
Chairman!
Oh...
Assistant Manager Byun,
who is standing here, has an inquiry for you.
What?
Byun So Ra?
You do, right?
Weren't you dissatisfied about the new promotion?
Tell him.
Let's hear it then.
Umm... Well... actually...
About the team leader's promotion, I think Sunbae still lacks experience.
Sunbae?
Oh, Byun So Ra is the head manager's hoobae.
That's something not just I, but everyone at the company knows.
Therefore, Head Manager Yoon and Team Leader Kang...
No, I mean Director Kang, I know he's exceptional, but...
Didn't you say that it doesn't matter,
because in any position, there's still work you must do?
Assistant Manager Byun, work hard too.
- Yes, Sir. - Okay.
Ch... Chairman. Goodbye.
What do I do? What do I do?
Where's the chairman?
He just left.
Didn't I tell you to figure out a way to keep him?!
He insisted on leaving. There was nothing I could do.
Your hairstyle is very artistic.
That old man, why did he come to the office while I was out?
Did you deliver the flowers to Director Kang?
Of course.
Congratulations, Director Kang.
Thank you.
There are a lot of rumors floating around regarding your promotion.
There's mention of birth secrets, someone losing power,
and concern about what will happen...
My ears hurt.
I have no intention paying attention to those rumors and the likes.
Aren't you curious?
If I were you, I'd be curious.
Why did the chairman appoint you as a director?
And why is he increasing your shares in the company?
Director.
Maybe he’s doing all that out of guilt?
Oh, right!
I nearly forgot. I don’t want you to say that you want help in shaking up the company
or that you want me to help chase out Head Manager Yoon.
I'll be leaving then.
If...
you feel curious, you can come see me any time.
I know about all of your secrets.
Do his toes resemble mine? Or is it his nose?
You'll never figure it out. He doesn't resemble me at all.
Why did the chairman appoint you as a director?
And why is he increasing your shares in the company?
Maybe he’s doing all that out of guilt?
Is that why he was so sensitive before?
Hey!
Director Kang.
What is this seriously? I don’t like this.
I'm displeased about being a director as well.
It makes me feel old and I have a lot more responsibilities too.
I do a lot more work than you.
You look like you're in a really bad mood.
Do you want to go for a walk with me?
Where to?
You'll know soon enough.
Let's go.
[Patent Release Form]
[Name: Byun So Ra Company Name: L'aura Cosmetics Company Representative: Yoon Jun Su]
Hello, Jin Ju?
Head Manager, are you at the office now?
Yes, what's wrong?
Hurry over here. It's urgent!
Excuse me. Are you leaving without paying?
Jun Sang, hurry and call the cops.
There's someone here sneaking off without paying.
Okay.
Head Manager.
- How much money? - Have a seat.
You don't have any urgent business.
I'm not drinking alcohol for the time-being, perhaps I won't drink ever again.
Who's asking you to drink?
We're not selling alcohol today.
- Right, Boss? - Of course. Of course. Of course.
Whenever I feel stressed out, I always eat really, really spicy food.
That's my method of relieving stress.
Do you want to give it a try?
This really works.
If you eat this kimbap, all your stress will evaporate.
Try eating it.
It won't kill me, will it?
Ah, it's so spicy!
It makes you forget everything, right?
All your worries are gone, right?
You’re having so much fun after you’ve become a director.
Not only am I a director, I'm a rich man now too.
I'm have the same number of shares as Jun Su hyung.
What?
That rumor...
Is it really true?
Which rumor?
Oh! The one saying I'm handsome and kind-hearted?
Is this the time to be joking around?
Who am I?
Kang Chan Jin.
Do I look different now that I'm a director?
You look exactly the same as before.
I'm rich now.
I earn money too.
It all ends here!
Whether it's a secret or whatever, I won't think about it anymore.
It's great that you're fine now.
My head feels like it's going to explode.
Jun Su hyung said he wanted to see you, didn’t you guys make-up?
He very calmly calls me, "Assistant Manager Byun. "
It's really official-sounding.
He even forgot about our trip, and he still thinks he has done nothing wrong.
This is really spicy.
It's delicious.
What do you think? Was it effective?
Your mood improved a lot, right?
It appears that spicy foods stimulate the excretion of endorphins.
Oh! You sound just like So Ra.
The secret you mentioned at work...
Secret?
Oh... that night?
Just as you said, it's best if So Ra doesn't find out.
She's already having a tough time because of me.
I don't want her to have an even harder time because of pointless issues like that.
Things that don’t need to be known...
Don't worry.
I'll do as you ask.
You're someone who does big things.
Compared to a woman who nags about every little thing,
a woman who is deferential is better for you, like me.
What are you doing?
I'm going to the restroom.
Head Manager, I'm going to the restroom.
Okay.
Don't say anything else, just repeat what I tell you to say.
For sure!
It's cold.
- It's very cold. Let's go back. - Sure.
Isn't it that way?
Let's go this way.
That... Let's have our fortunes read.
I don't believe that stuff.
It's a lot of fun.
You have a lover, don't you?
Yes.
Being together is of no benefit to either party.
Aren't you both just impeding each other?
You're so accurate!
What's this?
You are both exhausted to the bone
and both of you got to the point that you guys are getting tired of each other.
Is that the future?
This one looks like a good card.
Love?
Does that card mean that lovers will reconcile?
Pay close attention.
Perhaps another love line will appear in your life,
one that will be an ideal match for you.
You're so accurate!
Master, will you read my fortune too?
I'd like to know too.
Jin Ju, if you're worried about your future, then study hard.
This doesn’t make any sense.
Thank you.
Head Manager!
I really haven't been out here in a long time.
Thanks to you, I'm here now.
Let's go look.
Wow. There are so many.
Byun So Ra is interested in this stuff?
I like this stuff more than shoes and handbags.
I should buy a frying pan.
Jin Ju was learning how to make kimchi fried rice and ruined my frying pan.
Kimchi fried rice?
That was me.
What?
I'll buy you a new one.
Pretend to eat this.
Oh, yes.
It’s nice.
Did you hear just now? She called us newlyweds.
She said we're a match made in heaven.
Those were just empty platitudes.
You're so naive for believing them.
And you smiled like a fool.
Good-looking man was right, but beautiful woman is a little...
Do you want to die?
I hope my car gets fixed soon.
This is so inconvenient.
I should just take this opportunity to buy a new one.
Listen to yourself.
You speak of buying a new car as casually as buying a spatula.
Hey. Guess why I bought this pan?
Of course... to play with.
Play? Play my foot!
Hey. Don't do that!
Are you a gangster?
What? Hey!
What have you two been doing to be coming home so late?
Are you buying household products?
We got an extra person in the house.
Chan Jin, you're living at So Ra's house?
Ah... That...
Both of them told me to stay there.
Hey!
Chan Jin!
Hyung, did you know beforehand
about my promotion to director and the shares?
Yes.
You wanted to be alone because of that, right?
I needed some space alone to think.
I have it all sorted now.
How did you sort it?
As long as you haven't changed,
then nothing else has really changed either.
Me change? That's impossible.
Are you really the head manager's lover?
The head manager is in a bad mood now,
but you're off somewhere giggling with Chan Jin.
What about you?
Where did you go with someone else's boyfriend?
You weren't there for him, so I did it for you.
What about it?
Why are you always so attentive to other people's boyfriends?
So Ra, didn't I already tell you this?
You're the one who broke the rules.
When you met the head manager again,
didn't you say you wouldn't get back together again with him?
About that, sorry.
Sorry?
Does that end things?
I'm sorry about kicking you out.
It's okay.
Things are complicated from your end.
I understand.
That's good then.
But, Chan Jin...
You won't continue to live at So Ra's place, right?
Oh, right now, I could...
If you don't like hotels, I'll find you a place.
How about near the office?
Hyung, you don't want to live with me anymore?
[Pledge of Love]
I thought we'd see each other every day
and spend each day happily.
What is this?
Thank you
for trusting me and agreeing to do what I wanted to do.
I do believe you, but...
From now on, we'll keep going one step at a time.
We have a really long and tough path ahead of us.
If we're to persevere, shouldn't we persevere together?
Chan Jin! So Ra needs the bathroom urgently.
When did I say that?
Why else would you pace back and forth with that bear and annoy me?
Jin Ju...
If a person commits an error and shows no sign of repentance,
would I look ridiculous if I were to apologize first?
Didn't I tell you not to talk to me about your dating issues?
Hey!
I don't know. I don't know.
What are you doing with your camera?
There's a model contest at work, isn't there?
Oh... it's perfect for you.
You have my vote.
It's so late, are you going out?
It's very cold outside.
I'll take that out.
This isn't a chore for a director,
I, the assistant manager, should do it.
I'll be right back.
She obviously went to see the head manager.
Where did she go?
I'll find them even if I have to turn the neighborhood inside out.
What is it?
I thought I should take these cans out.
Keep at it then.
Didn't you come to toss those cans out?
Oh...
You're so clumsy.
Let me see.
Why do you keep avoiding me?
And why won't you apologize?
The bleeding isn't stopping.
Where are we going?
To take care of your cut.
You like our house, right?
Does it hurt?
It's not that bad. I'm fine.
I don't mean your cut, but that day.
When I blew you off,
did you feel terrible?
I feel like you're trying to run away again.
Why did you do that?
Did it really never cross your mind to call me?
Manager Park had really bad stomach pains.
So you took him to the emergency room?
Yes.
So you were at the hospital until the next morning?
Is he better now?
Yes.
He called in the morning and he said he was fine.
That's great.
Byun So Ra is so dumb.
Why are you dumb?
The problem is you're too smart.
In a lot of ways.
That’s why I imagined strange things and got mad at you and went drinking alone.
And I was with Chan Jin like that.
Let's not talk about this topic anymore.
All right.
Does it hurt?
It doesn't hurt at all.
I think it's better now.
[Pledge of Love]
- What are doing? - Oh...
Umm... Where is the nail clipper?
Ask So Ra.
I don't know because I don't use nail clippers.
I know where So Ra would be though.
Didn't she go take out trash?
You know but pretend not to, do you know how annoying that is?
It's so cold and she's been out for a while.
Is she at the head manager's house?
You moved out,
that's why So Ra and the head manager have an opportunity to be alone now.
Do you want to kick me out too?
Why? Does So Ra want you to leave?
Sunbae.
Don't be too bothered by Chan Jin's promotion.
So Ra.
My relationship with my father isn't good right now,
but Chan Jin has a great relationship with my father.
I thought it was because of me,
because of the fact that I don't like my father.
But one day...
I realized that it's like I'm the 3rd party getting between Father and Chan Jin.
How could that be?
But lately,
I feel like I'm the 3rd party...
getting between you and Chan Jin.
That's ridiculous.
The way I feel about Chan Jin and the way I feel about you,
is completely different. You know that, right?
I just wish...
there would be no one else in your heart except me.
Is that possible?
What are you doing?
You're so handsome and wealthy but I don't feel my heart waver at all.
I think I might really like the head manager.
Sunbae is someone who never wavers.
Nothing in this world remains unchanging forever.
It doesn't matter to you if you and So Ra become enemies?
Did you go to the trash center to throw out the trash?
Why do you ask when you already know?
I'm curious about what you two talked about.
The misunderstanding has been cleared up.
That's good.
Then you should go to sleep.
Okay.
Why am I so tired?
I'm so tired I wouldn't notice if someone carted me away while I was sleeping.
What?
Hurry and go to bed.
What? You can't fall sleep?
I'm going to sleep.
You made up with Jun Su hyung?
When you weren't here,
he's a friend who stayed by my side for 10 years...
Whenever I'm not around, Chan Jin will fill my spot, right?
That's how it was back then too.
That was your fault, wasn't it?
Therefore,
if I run away again, Chan Jin will take over my spot.
What am I to you then?
Sunbae.
It makes me uneasy that Chan Jin is staying at your place.
It will keep bothering me.
What? Did you quarrel again?
No, that's not it.
Chan Jin, are you and I strange?
What do you mean?
You're only now realizing it's strange?
Tell Chan Jin to move out tomorrow.
Can you do that?
Do you have something to say?
You still haven't made up with Sunbae?
When are you moving back there?
Is my staying here inconveniencing you?
No.
I'm fine. I'm just worried you're uncomfortable.
Also, this sofa is pretty small.
Plus, you can afford your own place now.
If it doesn't bother you, I like staying here.
Is it that...
If I move somewhere else,
then I might never be able to return to Jun Su's place again.
Help me out, will you?
Sure.
Why can't they just naturally accept each other?
Mom's son has become L'aura Cosmetics company director.
Are you happy?
Byun So Ra, what if I had stepped on these?
When will your car be fixed?
I should get it repaired, but I keep forgetting.
I thought I could catch rides with you since you live with us.
Why did you get startled? What are you thinking about?
What else could it be? I'm thinking about work.
The special line will be launched next week, right?
Who’s going to attend from the research lab?
Talk about office work when only you two are together!
Would you like to go up first then?
Sunbae.
Your hands are really cold. Where are your gloves?
That style probably isn't suitable to wear to work, huh?
Starting tomorrow, let's come to work together.
What about Jin Ju?
I want it to be just the two of us.
Did you tell Chan Jin?
I woke up late this morning so I haven't talked to Chan Jin yet.
I'll tell him.
I'll tell him, Sunbae.
Go on.
Let him move back into your house.
All right. If that would put you at ease.
I understand.
How can you hold hands at the office?!
Hello, L'aura Cosmetics, secretary's office. This is Oh Mi Rae.
Dae Bak?!
You're saying Dae Bak?
He has a fever?
Is it a high fever?
I'll be right over.
Yes.
Secretary Nam, my father isn't feeling well.
Is it serious? What is it?
I'll tell you when I come back.
Okay.
Hello, this is the secretary's office.
Hello, how are you?
Yes. He's not at the office yet.
Head Manager.
What is it?
It's a call from the chairman.
Transfer the call to my office.
Yes, Father?
Are you really not going to listen to me and continue to do things the way you want?
I told you, work will fail if you bring a woman into it.
She’s someone who will lead the special-line to success.
Last time I was at the office, I saw that girl named Byun So Ra.
She is useless.
- It was a misunderstanding. So Ra... - Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?
I heard everything from the director already.
I heard she's very ambitious and even attempted to frame her mentor professor.
Father, that's not what happened.
If you refuse to do it, I'll step in to handle it for you.
What will you do?
Head Manager, the item you purchased has been delivered.
I wanted to give this to you personally.
What is it?
[Director Kang Chan Jin]
Oh... It's impressive looking.
Thanks, Hyung.
I have something to say to you regarding the special line.
Why is your expression so serious?
Oh, seriously!
Everyone wants to show off their own faces so badly,
how did they all live before?
Assistant Manager Song, weren't you the first one to upload your photo?
Hey, did you finish working on the Yoon Line name list?
Oh.
Assistant Manager Byun will handle it anyway.
Right, Assistant Manager Byun?
[Emphasis Strategies]
[Business Organizations Growth and a New Channel Advancement]
Oh, my God.
No, do you have no conscience?
Hey, you there!
The office board announcement made no mention of an age limit.
What do you mean no conscience?!
He's saying you should look in the mirror before you upload your picture.
Hey! What's wrong with Manager Park?
If Manager Park took off his glasses, his eyes would look so attractive...!
Oh, I'm going crazy.
I could be in a movie, huh?
Quickly put your glasses back on.
Oh, yeah. By the way...
Is our Assistant Manager Byun listed
as a team member for the Special Line project?
Look it up.
Do we even need to check? Of course she is.
[Special Line Development Team’s Final Name List]
Huh?
- Oh, Assistant Manager Byun! - Oh, my.
Your name is not listed.
But why?
Did you get into trouble, Assistant Manager Byun?
How could they just remove her name right after buying her patent?
Assistant Manager Byun doesn't seem to know about this either.
Then...
Special Line Development Team’s Final Name List...
This is becoming more and more interesting.
I don't think So Ra will be able to work on the Special Line.
That's outrageous!
After giving up on becoming a professor,
this is the first worthwhile endeavor she has undertaken
and she is so happy about it.
Since joining the company,
because of the Special Line, this is the first time I've seen her smile.
I know that too.
Then, why?
If I don’t listen to Father’s words now,
I know So Ra will have an even harder time.
Rather than have her be So Ra who is happy about work,
I'd like her to be So Ra who is happy because of me.
You want to make So Ra give up her work?
You should give up on So Ra too.
Do you still remember?
As long as you don't change, then our relationship won’t change either.
How could he remove me?
He knew how much I was looking forward to this project.
Calm down. Calm down.
There must be some sort of reason.
Don't quarrel because of this.
Head Manager.
Don't allow anyone to disturb me.
I'd like to rest for an hour.
It’s not that. What is going on with So Ra's situation?
I saw it on the office notice board just now.
Why did you kick So Ra off the Special Line project?
I don't know why you removed her, but can't you just add her back on?
So Ra was really looking forward to that project.
You shouldn't involve yourself in this issue.
I'm not trying to get involved, I'm just worried about So Ra.
Head Manager,
also, about what happened that day...
I...
didn't tell So Ra that we were together.
I know So Ra was really looking forward to going on that trip.
I was afraid she'd be hurt.
This is unbelievable.
Don't mention what happened that night again.
Why?
You're the one who brought it up yesterday and said to keep it a secret.
Can I not bring it up now?
Are you afraid I'll use it to blackmail you?
Jin Ju, that's not what I meant.
Head Manager, I'm very disappointed in you.
I'm sorry.
I feel the same way you do.
I'm worried So Ra will get hurt again.
I'm also afraid that So Ra will get hurt.
So Ra!
Byun So Ra!
He said he wanted to start over again
and that no matter what problems we encounter, we'll deal with it together.
He told me to trust him...
- Can't you trust me? - Hyung!
Your interference isn't helping So Ra or me at all.
Is Sunbae a fool?
Do you think this will solve all our problems?
So Ra!
For 10 years, I treated you like a friend...
Head Manager says he likes you so much!
Because of you, he doesn't so much as glance at me.
