A Ridiculous Scandal
Color of Woman
Episode 16
Sunbae, let's break up.
Sora.
Getting jealous, envying, misunderstanding, getting mad and hating each other.
The scandal with Jin Ju ...
I said I was okay, but the truth is that I wasn't.
The looks people gave me, I wanted to hide and run away.
If I'm next to you Sunbae, I feel like I'm getting smaller.
I understand your feelings.
I'm sorry. I'll do better,
so that you won't get hurt ...
No.
I want to stop now.
I want to take a break.
It was so hard re-starting our relationship ...
We weren't supposed to start over.
Sunbae ...
You were only supposed to be my first love.
It was our mistake, wanting to put back the love that was once there.
Not even one hour ago, you told me to do my best.
Does it make sense to break up now?
I suddenly got scared.
It's hard even now, how hard will it be to get to marriage?
I found out late that, Sunbae,
you're much farther away from me than I thought.
You ... There's another reason, isn't there?
Is it because of Chan Jin?
Think as you like.
But the important thing is that now,
I want to end things with you, Sunbae.
I'm sorry. I'm going to get up first.
So Ra.
Sunbae.
Please stop it.
Us ...
Let's stop.
Please break up with Jun Su.
Chairman.
The only one Jun Su relies on as his family is not me, but Chan Jin.
If you were to marry Jun Su,
then with Chan Jin's personality, he'll leave the country.
Must you take Jun Su away from Chan Jin?
I have sinned against those two children.
Because of me Chan Jin's mother died.
The only way I can pay for my sins against her,
is to take responsibility for Chan Jin till the end.
I can't see my two sons being hurt because of you.
I'm asking you.
Please break up with Jun Su.
Excuse me, miss. The person you came with left this.
Let's get married.
Keep yourself free for dinner.
I have something to tell you.
All right. Even if the sky falls, I'll be there.
The looks people gave me, I wanted to hide and run away.
If I'm next to you, Sun Bae, I feel like I'm getting smaller.
I want to stop now.
I want to take a break.
I'm sorry.
So Ra.
Oh, Chan Jin.
I heard you went to see the Chairman.
How did you know?
From Jin Ju. She said she was worried about you, and that I should go.
So did you go?
No. I went there, but they said you'd already left.
Did you hear something from the Chairman?
Just... to break up with Jun Su Sunbae.
You have to understand why he's like that, in his position.
No, I told him I'd do that.
I broke up ... with Jun Su Sunbae.
Did you really break up with Jun Su Hyung?
It's not because of the Chairman.
While listening to the Chairman, I thought that Jun Su Sunbae and I...
... really aren't a fitting couple.
I think I've been really tired of it.
I want to take a break.
Will you be okay?
Of course. I'll be all right.
I never had luck with men anyway.
Stupid.
Hyung, are you sleeping?
You, say it again. What did you do?
I broke up with Jun Su Sunbae.
Did Chairman Yoon tell you to break up with him?
Don't tell Jun Su Sunbae I met with the Chairman.
Don't ever tell.
I don't want to be a cheap heroine like in dramas.
I decided with my own mind and will.
Liar.
It's true.
If it's true, why are you being like this in the middle of the night, all of a sudden?
Do you know what time it is?
2:20 a.m..
The time when Byun So Ra will become like the old Byun So Ra.
But you like Head Manager.
I liked him.
I liked him a lot.
I always felt that I could smell the cold from Jun Su Sunbae.
The first time we met was also in the library.
And the most time we spent together was in the library.
The books we liked, the authors we liked, the pictures we liked,
the things we liked and our hobbies were the same.
Everything is similar between us.
That's right. That's why you guys started again and got this far after 10 years!
You still like Head Manager.
Yeah, I still like him.
I'm breaking up with him because I like him.
That's what I can't understand the most.
If you like him, then you should hold onto him.
You should cry while holding on to him.
You should hold on to his pants and plead!
That's your way, and this is my way.
If you're not going to help, can you leave?
How are things going around?
Did those two really break up?
Then ...
No, that's not it.
When I call "So Ra, ..."
I wish you could be where you can hear me.
For the rest of my life.
This, who put it in there?
Assistant Manager Byun So Ra did. Is there a prob-...
[Jun Su Sunbae]
Let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
Sunbae, let go of this hand.
What happened with this?
Did you go back?
I went back to the café to get my cell phone,
and the waiter gave it to me.
It's yours, Sunbae, right?
You're not going to say you don't know what's in here, are you?
I know it's something that I can't accept.
I thought about it. Until the sunrise, all I did was think.
The conclusion is that we can't leave each other.
That's your problem, Sunbae. I've already straightened up.
Byun So Ra.
Sunbae if you keep on like this, I can't work at this company.
Do you want that?
So Ra.
Head Manager.
What is it?
In 15 minutes you have an important meeting ...
All right.
Head Manager. This is not America.
A company heir's image is linked to the company's conscience and image.
So this kind of scandal is really damaging.
When Chairman Yoon Man Ho was here and there was a scandal,
the PR department was able to regulate it.
But now it's the era of the internet, so trying to regulate it is impossible!
What is your opinion on this, Director Kang.
What's the use of talking about what has already happened?
The important thing now is how we can save L'AURA's image, is it not?
I'll give a press interview and say the whole scandal is fake.
And that is the truth.
I have a person whom I love.
Do you think people will believe every word you say?
If they find out it's the love play of second generation chaebol,
obviously things will get worse.
So, what's the picture you're drawing, Director?
I want to discuss the specifics with Director Kang.
Of course, provided that Director Kang will help me.
Of course I'll help.
What can be more important than this?
Wang Jin Ju is not really someone who goes all out.
I hear that she's really nice and innocent.
What? You saw me living in a nightclub?
Body Lobby ...
Do these people want to die?
Do you want to die?
Wang Jin Ju, have you given up on being a secretary?
How can you not even move a finger?
You know how I am feeling right now.
My personal details and my high school grades were leaked.
Secretary Wang's high school rankings are all in three digits.
Out of 330, she's 329th.
So, who was last?
An exchange student who cheated in tests. Why?
If your feelings are hurting then you have to move your body.
So hurry up and clean the Head Manager's room right away!
Here.
Secretary Wang can't help her feelings,
so why don't you cut her some slack, honey.
What did I do?
She doesn't work because she says she's going to be a model.
Serves her right.
After cutting off half my life,
I thought I could finally become a model and achieve my dreams.
But what is this?
Oh, what is this?
How pretty!
"J Heart S". It must be those two's couple ring.
They look expensive. Why would he throw them away? Such a waste.
It's pretty.
What are you doing? The Director is looking for you.
Yes. I'll be right there!
Why isn't it coming out? Oh really!
Ow, it hurts!
What do I do?
Wang Jin Ju.
You have to come somewhere with me.
What?
All right.
These heels are really pretty, aren't they?
Yes, they're really pretty.
Try them on.
What?
Why? You don't like me buying you shoes?
No ... I'm wondering why you're buying me heels.
If the shoe that Cinderella lost had been cheap,
do you think the Prince would have looked for Cinderella so hard?
Think about it. It was a slipper made of glass.
There was no other woman in the world wearing that kind of shoe.
That's why he was more curious:
What kind of woman is she?
Listening to your words, that makes sense.
It's like cheap heels:
If you go this way, it will only be a matter of time before your modeling career ends.
You have a dirty scandal going on.
You'll probably end up in the blacklist of the marriage market.
What shall we do?
If you do as I plan, Jin Ju,
you can become Cinderella.
Aren't you curious?
I don't know what you're planning, Director,
but after I've discussed it with So Ra ...
I thought I told you this before:
By being a friend and keeping that friendship, you'll end up losing everything.
Is there even something called friendship between girls? Huh?
This is my plan. Read it.
No I don't want to, Director. I'll be leaving now.
Excuse me. Please wrap these shoes.
Hold a press conference. I'm going to do it on the spot.
Hyung!
Doing this won't help the company's image in any way.
So Ra and my relationship.
Isn't it done? Hyung, you and So Ra?
No. It's not done.
Even more reason why we shouldn't.
If you disturb the Chairman's mood, the one who'll have a tough time is So Ra.
If you want to protect So Ra, you have to be stronger, Hyung.
You need power to protect the one you love.
Are you saying you're joining hands with Director Seong because of me?
It's not for you, but for the company.
To save the company, I will join hands with Director Seong, or someone even worse.
That's ...
The only way I can think of to repay you and Chairman for taking so much care of me.
Leave it to me. Don't you trust me?
You know me.
The people I trust are only you and So Ra.
Fine. I'll leave this job to you.
Oh, and also, So Ra.
Give her some time.
If you push her too much, she'll have a hard time.
This is the schedule for the afternoon.
Excuse me. When did you empty this trash?
Oh, it's been about an hour. Is there a problem?
Why do you throw away the trash without my permission?!
What?
I'm sorry.
I didn't know I needed permission to throw the trash.
I'm sorry.
Can you get me a glass of water?
Yes.
Wang Jin Ju, get Head Manager a glass of water.
Wang Jin Ju!
Geez!
I said, get Head Manager a glass of water!
I'm not deaf!
My goodness. Am I the village drum?
Why are all of them like that?
Head Manager, I brought you water.
Oh my!
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Jin Ju, are you okay?
I'm all right, I'll do it.
Move, I'll do it.
No, it's okay.
You'll get hurt.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Gosh, that idiot.
What is she keeping her mind on?
Byun So Ra. Why can't I reach you?
Oh. I'm sorry. Were you looking for me?
Director Kang was desperately looking for you.
Director Kang was?
He said to go in person. In person.
Oh, okay.
Were you looking...
Chan Jin!
Is your arm hurting?
Yeah, it was all right this morning, but it's hurting a bit now.
Then why are you being like this? Hurry, let's go to the hospital.
It's not that bad. I think you can just help me.
Am I a doctor? Hurry and get up!
If I go like this, I'd feel sorry for the people who are really sick.
I just need to rest for a few days.
Hey, but what do I do? I have a lot of work to do.
After you finish that work, you have to write a proposal ...
It's probably impossible to finish by today, right?
No, I can do it. If you have anything else to do, give it to me.
It's good because it helps me not to think about anything else.
I'll close it.
Oh, Hyung. Don't misunderstand.
The arm I injured is bothering me, so So Ra's helping.
Then you should go to the hospital.
Oh, it's not that bad.
Oh, I think I have to stay overnight at So Ra's house.
Because there's a mountain of work I have to submit by tomorrow.
Let's go. There's a lot of work to do.
We'll be heading out first, Head Manager.
No, no, no, no.
That's not good.
Of course, it's not good.
She must have had a traumatizing experience.
Stop talking nonsense. And get another glass ready.
What?
Head Manager.
Why are you just leaving?
Because things will get difficult if a picture of us gets taken again.
Have a drink and leave.
Hey Jun Sang, hurry!
Yes, don't worry. I will protect you.
Don't worry. I'll make sure the paparazzi doesn't get any pictures.
Sit down.
Well, what shall I get for you?
This is enough.
Goodness, he has to eat a lot and get some strength.
Why?
From now, there will be a huge storm.
What storm in this season?
It's hard, isn't it?
It's harder for you, Head Manager.
I heard from So Ra that you guys broke up.
We didn't break up.
It's just... I'm giving So Ra a break.
Oh. So like a stop.
But can you only go straight?
You should look at your side and your back too.
You never know if someone better might show up.
I'm someone who can't do that very well.
If I like one thing, then I only look at that.
What if So Ra doesn't come back to you,
and at that time someone else comes in...
No.
There will be nothing like that.
Eat some of the side dishes.
You didn't even have lunch.
I don't have an appetite.
Where did we get up to?
Do I start organizing the data from last year?
Hey, before that, we have to do something really important first.
What's that?
Food.
I don't have thoughts about food.
Hey, do you eat food with your thoughts?
I'm so hungry I think I'm going to faint.
Hurry, make me food.
Just a minute.
Didn't you say earlier that your arm is hurting?
How hungry I must be, that I forgot my arm is hurting,
and was pushing heavy Byun So Ra.
All right. Wait a bit.
Eat.
What's that?
My arm is hurting.
Eat with your left hand.
Because of whom is this arm hurting?
Egg rolls.
Kimchee.
The one next to it, next to it.
The big one. Yeah, that one.
Soup.
The vegetables. There's shrimp in it.
Yeah, that one. There it is, there it is.
You laughed.
This is the first time you're laughing.
Did I?
You're okay, aren't you?
I think I'll become okay.
Are you confident that you won't have any regrets?
I don't know.
But I know this is for the best, right now.
You too, hurry up and meet a good woman.
And stop hanging around in front of me.
What if I hang around you for the rest of your life?
Then are you saying that I should make food the rest of my life?
Forget it.
Hurry up and eat. We have a lot of work to do.
Let's hurry up and work.
We don't have to do that.
What?
It's nothing urgent. It's just something I have to finish this year.
You!
Thanks to that you weren't thinking about other things, and you enjoyed it.
You, then, on purpose ...
You only have a friend to do this for you, right?
Friend?
You still don't know Chan Jin.
If Chan Jin thought of you as just a friend,
he wouldn't have stayed with you for so long.
You may think you two are friends, but to Chan Jin you're not.
Are you saying that you don't know how that child feels?
You.
Do you like me?
No, I really hate you.
Stop joking around.
I like you. If I didn't, do you think I would have been beside you for 10 years?
Do you see me as a woman?
I don't know ... That's what confuses me too.
Shall we perform a clinical experiment?
Clinical experiment?
Yeah.
Even between us, estrogen, dopamine, testosterone,
serotonin..., if these hormones take effect.
Forget it.
Let's try it.
How are you going to do it?
You just have to stay still.
We just need to observe how your heart reacts to me, Professor Byun So Ra.
I'm starting.
Why? Are you scared?
Who said that I was?
Then stay still.
Hey!
The stove! I put water on the stove.
I could've burnt the kettle.
We should continue the interrupted experiment.
Forget it.
What do you mean, forget it. We haven't even started.
If you carry on behaving like this, I'm going to kick you out!.
Oh, wait. I think your face got red.
Got red, what do you mean it got red?
It got red.
What do you mean it got red?
Did you come?
You came.
You guys are so happy together.
What?
Someone can't even eat food.
What are you talking about?
Byun So Ra, you, don't regret anything.
Wow, as expected, our Director Seong is incredible.
I mean, how did she get Wang Jin Ju to appear on TV?
As expected, Director Seong is L'AURA's shield and sun.
Please, if you're going to suck up to her,
then do it where that person can hear you.
I should.
When was it decided that Wang Jin Ju should appear on TV?
I didn't know.
I mean, do you want me to tell you everything item by item?
It's something the higher authorities decided.
But it's really amazing.
Even if it's cable, it's a program a lot of women watch.
Oh my, the publicity will be amazing.
I'm a model too, and they didn't call me.
They said they didn't call you because you would talk nonsense on live TV.
What are you talking about?
Wang Jin Ju will be appearing on TV?
Oh my, Head Manager, you didn't know either?
So is this something that was decided without the Head Manager even knowing?
I signed it.
Kang Chan Jin.
You gave me the approval for this situation. Did you forget?
E-Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
You guys are talking, but can you talk after we watch it?
The time is ...
Turn it on.
Yes.
From office worker to cosmetic model,
she is someone who's receiving a lot of attention.
It's Wang Jin Ju from L'AURA Cosmetics.
Hello.
Hello. I'm Wang Jin Ju.
Yes, I'm very curious as to how you went from secretary,
to being discovered as a model.
The company was making a teaser advertisement,
and was looking for a company model.
The advertisement planner saw me and gave me a chance.
And on top of that,
I never let go of my dream to be a model, and ran towards my dream.
I think that's what brought me this chance.
Wow, Jin Ju is pretty good. She's not even shaking.
{/a6}[TV: Perhaps it's because you're a cosmetics model, but your skin is really stunning.]{/a6}
{/a6}[Do you have a secret?]
Um, just regularly,
I drink a lot of water.
And if you want your skin to be clean, you should use L'AURA's cosmetics.
Then, like me, you will be able to have good skin.
Yes, your skin is beautiful and your words are beautiful too.
Then, lastly, I'm going to ask you a hard question.
There's a rumor going around, about a scandal with a second generation conglomerate owner.
Can you say anything about this?
That article ...
is a lie.
Because it's not a scandal, because it's real.
That person and I, we really love each other.
Yes, is that so. How did you two meet?
10 years ago, we first met in a library.
When I had a year of studying left,
I went to that person's university library,
and fell in love with the sight of him reading a book.
Yes, that's really romantic.
We had our dates in the library so often,
that it always felt like that person smelt like books.
By any chance, the ring you're wearing ...
It's a couple ring.
So Ra.
He engraved our initials on the couple ring. "J heart S."
Oh, is that so.
If it's "J heart S",
doesn't it stand for Wang Jin Ju's J, and Head Manger Yoon Jun Su's S?
Yes.
It's amazing you kept that love for 10 years. I will cheer you two on to continue your love.
Yes, let's give a round of applause to Wang Jin Ju, who spoke honestly.
Oh my.
What is this situation?
It's a truly ridiculous situation.
So Head Manager's lover has gone from So Ra to Jin Ju?
So Ra.
Let go.
Listen to me.
How long are you going to make me a laughing stock?
Jin Ju lied.
That ring, I don't know what happened with it,
but anyway I didn't give it to her. Please believe me.
You know me, what right do I have to believe you or not?
We're already over.
So Ra.
Yes, Head Manager. Did you see the broadcast?
The broadcast was a huge success.
What are you doing without my permission?!
Permission?
I just did what Director Kang told me to.
What did you say?
Today's broadcast. Is it true that it came from your mind?
For the company's sake, it was the only option to ...
How can you do this to me?
I'll say this again.
I chose this way to save the company,
and it's something the Chairman agreed to.
I'm really disappointed in you.
As for disappointment, I think I beat you.
What?
Isn't the person you should worry about most So Ra?
She went out earlier and hasn't come back.
Must you take Chan Jin from Jun Su?
Chairman.
I've sinned against the two children.
Because of me Chan Jin's mother died.
My mother, how did she die?
Those two, had a relationship,
that was not like one between the Chairman of a company and a salesperson.
Chairman Yoon thought your mother would be easy like other women.
Your mother's dream was to live quietly with her son.
But Chairman Yoon's wrongful love brought death to your mother.
Does Head Manager know?
Of course he knows. Because he's just like his father.
He won't say anything, in order to control you.
Are you just going to suffer like this?
You have to take revenge on that hypocrite Chairman Yoon.
[So Ra]
Byun So Ra, where are you now?
Byun So Ra. You cheapskate, are you coming here by yourself?
I told you, you didn't have to come.
[Jun Su Sunbae]
Shall we play a real game?
The person who loses gets a flick. Call?
Call.
Oh, wow.
[Jun Su Sunbae]
It's cold.
Yeah.
No, I don't think today's that cold.
Yeah.
What is that, are you saying it's cold or not?
What?
After being dumped by a guy, Byun So Ra you've lost your mind.
This time, I dumped him.
Seeing that you remember that, you're okay.
Tell me. Do you really want to end things with Jun Su Hyung?
I already ended it.
Not for Jun Su Hyung.
Tell me how you really feel.
Do you really want to end it?
Yeah, I want to end it. Because that's the only way.
Stay still.
What?
Kang Chan Jin.
Stay still. Jun Su Hyung is still looking.
What are you doing?
Am I different to you now?
Director Kang Chan Jin, what are you saying right now?
Head Manager's near-sighted attitude is really pitiful.
The Head Manager is me.
The person in charge of the special line is me.
