"* EPISODE 27 *" "This is my sister." "She's 40 years old, but because of an accident, she has the mentality of a 5 year old." "It's been 4 days since she's been gone." "If any of you have seen my sister, please let us know." "Gloria, are you taking your opportunity to sing to look for your sister?" "Oh well." "Then..." "You go through 20 difficult years because of your sister, and ultimately because of your her, your path as a singer is blocked." "Still, you could have tried to sing." "Thank you, President." "If you hadn't said anything," "I wouldn't have thought of this as an opportunity to find my sister." "Even bringing a picture of her..." "I'm really grateful." "President, you're the one that brought Jin Joo's picture?" "What sort of unlucky fate from a previous life did those sisters have?" "There has to be some limit to holding back your sister's future." "Do you think Jin Joo did it knowing she was blocking Jin Jin's future?" "Aigoo!" "It's just that I'm so upset!" "If Jin Jin could become a singer, Jin Joo's life would become easier, and Jin Jin's life would be free from struggle." "Grandma, don't be like that." "We don't know where Jin Joo is, and how scared she is." "Don't say our Jin Joo is bad!" "Well, Jin Jin went so far as to do that on TV..." "So, I'm sure Jin Joo will be back soon." "I'm sorry to call you out at such a late hour." "Please sit down." "Why'd you want to see me again?" "I suppose you know" "Jin Joo's sister said on TV today that she was looking for Jin Joo." "Don't you think this incident is too strange?" "At the pivotal point where Jin Jin could or could not become a success," "Jin Joo goes missing?" "Vice President, you are a clever man, so I don't think you couldn't have expected something like this." "What are you trying to say now?" "You didn't want Jin Joo's little sister to succeed, and if she didn't succeed, that would mean a blow to your brother's company." "Then, from your standpoint, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?" "Are you... implying that I actually kidnapped Jin Joo?" "If that's not the case, there's just no explanation." "Vice President, now that it's gone the way you wanted, you should return Jin Joo." "The way it's going, Jin Jin is going to die of her own accord." "Or, is it that you want Jin Joo's younger sister to die as well?" "Will you be sleeping at home tonight?" "Kang Suk's singer caused quite a disaster on the broadcast tonight." "When it was her turn, instead of singing, she asked for help finding her sister." "Kang Suk must be very disappointed." "Don't think about anything and just get some sleep." "You haven't been getting any sleep." " I can't fall asleep." " I know." "But still, try to sleep." "Or if there's no way, try drinking a little." " I'll go and buy some drinks." " Don't." "Until my sister comes back, I want to stay clear-headed." "I'm worried that you'll collapse like this." "I'm sorry to make you worry, but I can't help being like this." "No matter how much time passes, probably there will never come a time when you think of me before your sister." "I know it's an immature thought, but it still worries me." "However, the fact that you gave up everything to find your sister, if there is a god, he'll acknowledge that sacrifice." "You think so?" "Your sister..." "certainly will be back." "How long do I have to keep her?" "Her condition seems to be getting more and more serious." "What?" "It's been crazy!" "Look, Manager!" "Gloria's sister is top search in the search engines!" "People keep calling us, saying they deeply hope we find Gloria's sister." "Put on the internet that Gloria's sister was a famous singer named Jin Joo, that she became the way she is due to an accident, and that Gloria's been struggling for 20 years taking care of her." "Quickly, huh?" "I'm telling you I can't." "Please, I beg you, President." "Every second counts." "As you can see, all the employees have gone home." "Please just think of it as saving a life, and do this for me." "Ahh..." "You've come?" "I teared up so badly!" "I was all ready to cast my ARS vote and was so shocked." " How tough life must be, taking care of..." " Why are you both making such a fuss?" "I'm home." "Your father is in the study." "I'm home." "I heard something unfortunate happened today." "Yes, somewhat." "Is it serious?" "We'll have to wait and see." "Kang Suk, what do you think of closing down Double Sharp at this juncture, and returning the investment money to the investors?" "I will look into another subsidiary for you to lead." "We're not at the point of giving up yet." "I heard that the singer you were relying on caused a disaster." "But, I still don't want to give up yet." "Are you going out again?" "I think I'll have to work late tonight." "Then why did you come home?" "There were some documents I needed." "Aigoo, maybe it's because you're like your father, but now that you've sunk yourself in your work, you're so absent-minded." "Or maybe it's because you're so in love that you're absent-minded." "Huh?" "Where has the kid gone?" "Ah, how's Jin Jin?" "Yoon Seo brought some sleeping pills to try to help her sleep," " but she's not home." " Huh?" "Where has she gone when she's so utterly exhausted?" "Oh, yes." "Did you feed Jin Jin before you put her to bed?" "Well... see," "Jin Jin, that brat, has disappeared." "What do you mean disappeared?" "I'm sorry." " Na Jin Jin!" " Oppa!" "Oh, yes." "What are you doing right now?" "I have to find my sister." "Na Jin Jin." "You haven't eaten a thing, you're going to collapse!" "I won't collapse." "How can I collapse when my sister is missing?" "I have to put all these up tonight." "The print shop Ahjussi said he'd print 2,000 more by tomorrow morning." "I have to put those up tomorrow, so tonight, all of these..." "I'll do it." "I said I'll do it!" "So, please go home and rest." "Then we can do it together." "It can be done in half the time." "I found Jin Jin, so don't worry too much." "Can someone disappear in a single moment like this?" "If it's not an accident, then what could it be?" "This is making me crazy." "Hey, kid!" "Why do that sort of thing by yourself?" "Right!" "When you have all this family here!" " Do you have any left?" "We'll all go and post some tomorrow." " Yeah!" "Tomorrow morning, she's picking up another 2,000 at the printer's." "Please get some sleep." "Go inside, Jin Jin." "Go." "Yeah, Go on." "Go in." "I don't want to." "I'm supposed to pick up the fliers first thing in the morning." "If I take this and just keep sleeping..." "That won't happen." "It'll help you sleep for a few hours, it won't make you keep sleeping, Jin Jin." "Just listen, will you, kid?" "You have to sleep, so your President can go home and rest." "Hey, has Jin Jin's company President gone?" "Yeah." "He's just left, after seeing Jin Jin fall asleep." "Dong Ah, he and Jin Jin don't just have an ordinary working relationship, do they?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Your father survived this long on intuition alone." "The way they look at each other is not ordinary." "What are you saying, what do you mean "not ordinary"?" "Jin Jin is completely out of it with Jin Joo noona missing." "The way that young President looks at her with worry is not an ordinary look." "Stop talking nonsense." "Go to sleep." "Unnie." "Unnie!" "Jin Jin." "What's the matter?" "What?" "You must have had a bad dream." "I... when I was young, tried to abandon my sister once." "My sister stood frozen, trembling on the crosswalk, and I hid." "I thought if my sister would just die in an accident," "I could live in an orphanage, and have an easier life." "That was what a bad kid I was." "That was when you were young." "It was because it was so hard." "Inside me, could there be some thought like that?" "Now that I'm on my way to becoming a singer, was I feeling like she was baggage?" "Could I have had such thoughts and caused this?" "No." "I know you don't have a thought like that in you." "Please don't put that sort of guilt on yourself, Jin Jin." "But, why has something like this happened?" " It's okay." " Unnie!" "It's okay." " Yes?" " President, I think you need to come in." "[Combined Search Rankings, #1 Gloria's Sister]" "Wow, I thought things calmed down a little last night, but it looks like it's started again." "Hello?" "Yes, yes, that's right." "This is Gloria's management company, Double Sharp Entertainment." " Is it still the number one search?" " Yeah." "Right now, even Jin Joo's song, "Your Tears", is being searched." "What is it?" "President." "I think there may be a silver lining to this incident for Jin Jin." "Uh, Coach, what are you doing here?" "I was so frustrated with the broadcast last night, I drank myself to sleep." "But a junior of mine that I live with made a huge ruckus and woke me up." "I got up and looked in the internet, and I completely snapped out of it." "We all spent the night here, too." "But, how did they find out about Gloria's sister's past?" "Aren't the netizens in our country something else?" "Manager told us to put that out on the internet last night." "You did?" "Oh, Manager Choi, you really are a pro." "Hello?" "Yes, yes." "Yes, that's right." "These are all calls in support of Jin Jin." " Yes." "I understand." "We'll call you back." " Okay." " Yes, yes." "We'll relay that." " Yes, yes." "[Looking for a person]" "Uh?" "Hyung." "Who do you think will benefit most from Jin Joo's disappearance?" "I can only think of one person." "Vice President Lee Ji Suk." "Isn't he the only one who doesn't want you to succeed?" "But Gloria was showing possibilities of succeeding, and that means Double Sharp had possibilities of succeeding." "Jin Jin." " At least eat..." " You eat if you want." "You keep this up, and you'll die before you see Jin Joo noona return!" "Idiot." "Don't you know that I won't ever die before my sister?" "Hey, Lee Kang Suk." "Do something with that kid." "She's been up since dawn and hasn't eaten anything or sat down since." "That kid... if Jin Joo noona doesn't return, she'll continue like that, and eventually fall dead in the street." " Are you determined to die?" " President." "Even if you look for your sister, you have to eat and rest." "Aren't you concerned about the people you're worrying to death?" "Just let me finish posting these." "After you post all these, you'll just pick up more from the printer's." "Please, at least eat something, you intense thing!" "All right." "Just these." "Let me just finish posting these." "She can't hear anybody's words right now." "Because in her mind, the only thought she now has is finding Jin Joo noona." "What are you doing here at headquarters?" "Are you here to see Father?" "Then go to Father." "Why bother coming by to see me?" "Hyung." "You know the singer Jin Joo, don't you?" "My signed singer's sister." " She's missing." " And so?" "Who would benefit most from her disappearance?" "Manager Choi asked me to think about it, and wondered wouldn't the only one be you." "What are you jabbering about now?" "Are you saying that to strike a blow to your singer," " I actually kidnapped her sister?" " I pray that's not true." "Because my common sense doesn't see a reason why you'd go that far." "However, if..." " If?" " If you're somehow involved in this incident, even if you're my brother, I won't forgive you." "She's my company's signed singer, and I won't forgive you for messing with my person." ""My person"?" "It seems that singer appears to be somewhat special to you." "Don't change the subject." "I've definitely warned you." "So, if you are involved, this would be a good time to stop." "That... sounds like a threat." "Then you've heard right." " It's me." " Yes." "I think it's dangerous to leave her in this condition." "Please make a decision quickly." " Sunbae, that's illegal." " I know." "That's why I'm asking in earnest." "Then, if I get fired, will you give me a job in your company?" "No, no, no, getting fired isn't the issue." "If things go wrong, I could go to jail." "Please." "She just keeps looking for her sister all day and doesn't eat a thing." "Step outside for a moment." "Yes, Sir." "See, it would have been better if you had just died back then." "Then forever," "I would have lived with the deep-felt guilt of having killed the woman I love." "A half-wit who can't remember a thing... why remain and live like that?" "Send me to Jin Jin." "I have to go to Jin Jin." "My sister will worry." "Why did you give me such a hard time about turning myself in?" "We staged a car accident and no one knew how that woman died." "So, why did you so persistently beg me to turn myself in?" "If you had just not done that, you wouldn't have turned into this." "Then, even now, you'd still be on stage and able to live in splendor." "Why did you act so stupidly?" "I'm sorry, I was wrong." "I was all wrong." "So, please take me to my Jin Jin." "My life has become a mess too because of you." "I'm still being threatened by your manager, and because I don't know what that under-handed guy will do next," "I constantly live in a nervous state." "It's all your fault." "Still, I loved you." "Did you have to be that way?" "Why did you have to torment me to turn myself in?" "If you hadn't," "I would never have thought of abandoning you." "Yes, I did love you, but also, I wouldn't have ever dared to abandon you who knew of my crime." "I'm too nervous to live in a world with you in it." "Just live like you aren't in this world, and then die." "The reason I'm not killing you right now... just think of it as consideration for once having loved you." "Or think of it as pity for the 20 years you lived as a half-wit." "President," "why... why are you..." "Are you certain about this place?" "They operate under the guise of a welfare institution." "It's a place where people who pose succession headaches and other problems are locked away forever." "Many people use it that way." "Then, you're saying that she can't ever come out into the world again?" "Correct." "But the expense is rather extreme..." "I've deposited the fee, so take her now." "Yes, Sir." "Look, it's been over a week!" "We haven't had one caller who's seen anyone resembling her." "It's strange!" "That's what I'm saying!" "The longer someone is missing, the lesser the chance of finding them." "That's true." "Remember the huge search effort for the frog boys*?" "(*5 frog-hunting boys that disappeared, found dead 10 years later.)" "Hey, hey!" "Listen to you guys spouting tragic tales!" "Frankly, everyone has thought "what if" at least a little." "Would you like it if that happened?" "Then Jin Jin is basically as good as dead, too!" "Man, so unlucky words!" "So, did you find anything?" "I did look through his accounts, but there wasn't much." "Here." " There was nothing strange?" " No." "Everything seemed normal." "What is this?" "Ah, that?" "Insong Foundation." "It seems he contributed." "Contributed?" "It's a rather large amount, but it's contribution for a scholarship." " Manager." " Yeah?" "The insurance company called." ""Whatever we give up, we won't give up on family."" "They want to do ads with that concept." "And use the clip of Jin Jin looking for her sister on the New Star Show." "Are you suggesting doing an ad when her sister hasn't even been found?" "They said they'd insert a message to help with the search in their ads." "In her condition, she won't film the ad." "That's true, right?" "It's just such a good opportunity to pass up." "If I went to Jin Jin and spoke to her..." "Please don't." "Her obvious response will be "What's the use of money when my sister's missing?"" "Yes?" "Externally, they're known as a convalescent and treatment center." "But looking into it, I found they're no different from a detention facility." "What shall I do?" "If you report it to the police," "I think you can find the person you're looking for." " I can't report it." " But, why not?" "Currently, I can't." "So, please work with your colleagues." "Whatever it takes, get that woman out." "Please." "Ultimately, she did collapse." "This won't do." "Put her on my back." "I'm taking her to the hospital." "Jin Jin." "It's exhaustion." "Go on." "When she wakes up, I'll have her moved to a hospital room." "That Jin Jin... without Jin Joo Noona, she probably won't be able to continue living." "Where am I?" "The hospital." "You collapsed." "What?" "I have to go home and wait for my sister." " Stay here." " I want to go home." "Do you really want to make me crazy?" "Please just listen." "All news will be forwarded to me, so you just wait here." "My sister, do you think she's alive?" "We're going to believe that she's alive." "We have to." "I'm willing to pay as much as you want to compensate for the potential danger." "By tomorrow, you must have her out of there." "You better lead us there now!" "These guys are just not cooperating." "Officer Lee, call and have the task force sent out." "Okay, all right." "They said two policemen came and took her, but that district police station said they never sent anyone out." "Then who took her?" "Yes." "From a pay phone, we told the police we saw someone resembling the woman on TV." "We waited to see the police arrive before we left." "I understand." "Jin Jin." "Do you want to collapse again?" "What kind of time do I have to be lying here?" "Please don't." "Kang Suk, do something about her." "She's having a fit, wanting to go out in her state and post more fliers." "Let her do what she wants." " Hey, Lee Kang Suk!" " She doesn't listen to anyone." "Yes?" "Yes, this is Gloria." "Yes, right, on the New Star Show..." "Excuse me?" "Where?" "Unnie!" "Unnie!" "Unnie, it's me, Jin Jin!" "Huh?" " How did she get all the way out here?" " She was at a bus stop." "Unnie!" "Unnie!" "It's me, huh?" "It's me, Jin Jin." "Huh?" "Why is Jin Joo Noona like that?" "She appears to have aphasia* due to shock." "(*lossofabilityfor spoken and written language)" "We'll have to do a complete set of tests to know the details." "Unnie." "Ah, yeah Dong Ah." "Have you arrived?" "Is she fine?" "I mean is she hurt?" "Ay, okay." "Thank goodness, thank goodness." "Yeah." "Okay, all right." "Aigoo, is she fine?" "Yes, they need to examine her, but he says she doesn't look injured." "Aigoo, thank the gods of heaven and earth." "However, maybe it's because of the shock, but... they say she can't talk." "What?" "Please give me two boxes of chicken." "Hyung, they found Jin Joo." "What?" "Oh my my!" "They found her." "They found her!" " They found Jin Joo noona!" " Oh, what?" "!" "W-w-where?" "Where was she?" "Somewhere in the countryside, but I didn't ask about that." " The countryside?" " Anyhow, thank goodness they found her." " You went overboard saying she's dead." " What did you do with the chicken?" " Argh." "Ouch..." " Looks like you drank quite a bit." "Gloria's sister has been found." "The police found her at a bus stop in the countryside." "It's strange, isn't it?" "Where could she have been for days, and how did she end up there?" "I dropped by home to change and waited in case you were curious." "My singer's sister is in the hospital, so I felt it was right to go and be there." "She's been back for a week." "Why do you think she hasn't spoken at all?" "There's no specific treatment for her condition right now." "Unnie, what's the matter?" "Why don't you say anything?" "Why did you wake up?" "It's late." "You should go." "I'll just stay." "Go home for today." "You've continued to stay here." " How can I leave you alone?" " Since I found my sister," "I'll get my old spirit and energy back." "Think of it as my sincere feelings for you." " By any chance..." " By any chance what?" "do you find me easy to talk to?" "I might not be able to do anything else for you, but I'll talk with you often." "Why don't you drink instead, President?" "If you're upset, drink." "If you do this, it'll hurt too much." "Even if my aching heart cries," "My eyes will only see you." "After a year from now, even 10 years from now," "I won't let go of you then." "Even if time tries to hold us back," "I'm here, only for you." "Even if the happier we feel," "The more anxious our time may become," "My foolish heart calls out to you to come to me." "After a year from now, even 10 years from now," "My feelings for you won't change." "Even if my aching heart cries," "My eyes will only see you." "After a year from now, even 10 years from now," "I won't let go of my heart." "Even if time tries to hold us back," "I'm here, only for you." "President." "What's the matter, what's this about?" "I have something to tell you." "I thought about it a lot at home." "Whether I could ever again feel such intense worry about anyone else in this world." "When you sister was missing," "I felt my blood drying up inside me as I watched you." "Because you didn't eat, I couldn't eat, and because you didn't sleep, I couldn't sleep!" "With anyone other than you, could I experience something like this again?" "No matter how I think about it," "I don't believe that it could happen again." "So I told myself, "Let's stop with this complicated thinking."" "I also decided to stop questioning," ""What could this feeling be?"" " President..." " After that, everything became really simple." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "Tonight," "I raced over because if I didn't tell you right away, I felt my heart would burst." "What I'm feeling for you, if it isn't love, there's no other explanation." "Na Jin Jin," "I love you." "So, I think I'm going to have to marry you." "President," "you don't have to go that far." "I know you worry about me and think of me a lot." "Maybe that is..." "love." "However, I don't want things to get hard for you because of me..." "Don't talk about things that don't matter." "Just answer me one thing." "Don't you love me too?" "Answer me." "I know you love me too, and that's why you're worried things will get hard for me." "Let's stop making things so complicated." "If we want to be together, then we just need to find a way to be together." "So from now on, you'll follow my lead, okay?" "No matter what happens, no matter what anyone says about how it can't be you," "you won't listen." "Just trust what I say." "Keep your eyes on me, and come with me." "All right?" "We're closed!" "Ha Dong Ah." "Huh?" "Did you just leave the hospital?" "I need to stop by too, but the orders were so stacked up today." " Are you going home?" " No." "I'm going to see my mother." "I've something to tell her." "I think soon I'm to be married, too." "You..." "There's a woman I want to make mine forever." "I suppose it's a woman I know?" "Right." "Na Jin Jin." "I don't want to lose her to any other guy." "So, I want to live with her as mine." "Lee Kang Suk, you..." "I thought you'd be hesitating for a long time." "You think I'm like you?" "I have knife-like decisiveness, so if I feel something's right, I decide immediately and act on it." "I won't resist unnecessarily like you did, giving Yoon Seo a hard time." "Right, you're great, really great." "What's with you, coming to see me even when I didn't ask you to?" "I've something to tell you." "What is it?" "I just met with Jin Jin a little earlier." "I told her to trust me and to follow my lead." "After Ha Dong Ah and Yoon Seo leave," "I'm going to tell Father that there's someone I want to marry." "Kang Suk." "I know I've been a mad man obsessed with climbing to the top, but to achieve that, I don't want to give up the woman who keeps making me smile." "Do you think you can win this battle?" "You know very well your father will never approve of this kind of marriage." "I'm going to persuade him that I'm not going to make that woman end up in your position." "Thank you, son." "My heart feels at ease now." "I was always anxious, worried that you might not be able to live your life like other people." "and that it was my fault." "You're to look after Jin Jin to the very end." "Yes," "I will." "My son, you're pretty wonderful." "Ah, why is there so much traffic?" "Oh?" "There's no time to change!" "Aigoo, you're here." "You must be so disappointed when Jin Jin didn't sing and things happened as they did." "So, I was thinking, what about finding a new dark horse at this stage?" "What's really making money for agencies aren't idols, but trot." " Dae Bak." " Yes, Noona?" "I'll go up for this time slot." "What's gotten into you, that you're volunteering to cover me?" "Noona, you're awesome!" "My son says he's going to marry Jin Jin." "Really?" "Yeah." "He came by just to tell me that." "That's why you were singing so full of spirit out there tonight." "Jin Joo's disappearance may have played a role in helping Kang Suk decide where his heart was." "I think he realized his feelings as he was worrying about Jin Jin." "Wow, that's really great!" "Jin Jin will now be able to live without worry." "That probably won't exactly be the case." "The battles Kang Suk will have to fight won't be easy ones." "Still, he promised to look after Jin Jin to the end, so my son will make it happen." "It's really strange." "What is?" "I'm talking about Dong Ah and Jin Jin." "Maybe it's because they've hung together as friends for 30 years, but doesn't it seem like their fates are rather similar?" "[Lee Kang Suk]" "Now that your sister has been found, and we can make the ad, we feel quite relieved." "Because it is now well known that your sister was once a famous singer, but had suffered a disorder, we anticipate this ad may have maximum impact and effect." "You just made 70 million* won of big money." "What are you going to do with it?" "(*US$70k)" " I guess you'll move first?" " No." "I have something to do with it." "Unnie, listen carefully." "They say it could be a really dangerous operation." "They say it was so dangerous 20 years ago, they were reluctant to do it." "We couldn't then, even if we'd wanted to, because we had no money." "But, Unnie, it's a chance to have a normal life." "Unnie, you don't like living this way, do you?" "If you say you don't want to, then you don't have to." "But, Unnie," "I want to try something, whatever that something may be." "Unnie, it was possible that I might never have seen you again, but here we are, together again." "Therefore, the operation definitely will be successful, too." "Do you not want to?" "Are you scared?" "Then, do you want the operation?" "You're going to do well, Unnie." "All of you will have to wait here."
