00:00:00This is a story of two sisters, each leading distinct lies.

00:00:04The younger sister wears inexpensive nightwear purchased from street vendors,

00:00:08while the elder sister dons luxurious silk garments.

00:00:12The younger sister laboriously washes her hair in a modest bathroom,

00:00:16whereas the elder sister relaxes in a bathtub.

00:00:19For breakfast, the younger sister has a simple meal of rice and cheap kimchi,

00:00:23while the elder enjoys fine bread and gourmet coffee.

00:00:26The younger sister uses a pair of worn-out shoes with a broken heel,

00:00:31casually knocking them together and continuing to wear them as usual.

00:00:35In contrast, the elder sister has an entire room filled with designer shoes and handbags.

00:00:40The younger sister lives in a small, modest house, while the elder resides in a lavished villa.

00:00:46The younger sister often walks as her main mode of transportation,

00:00:50but the elder has a private car at her disposal.

00:00:52The sisters, named Siu Dalmi and Siu Njai, were very close in their childhood.

00:00:59However, their father, unable to endure abuse from his boss,

00:01:03resigned and chose to start his own business.

00:01:05Their mother, consequently, had a heated argument,

00:01:08divorced their father, and Njai went with her mother while Dalmi stayed with her father.

00:01:13One day, Njai told Dalmi that their mother had remarried a wealthy man

00:01:18and she was about to move to the United States with her.

00:01:21Njai also mentioned that Dalmi should have gone with their mother,

00:01:25claiming that she herself had made a mistake and no longer considered herself Dalmi's sister.

00:01:30Angry, Dalmi chased after Njai and the two ended up fighting.

00:01:35On that very day, their father successfully secured investment for his venture,

00:01:39but also tragically died in a car accident, leaving Dalmi to rely solely on their grandmother.

00:01:45Today, Dalmi entered the restroom, removed one of her high heels,

00:01:49and used a marker to cover up the scuffed area.

00:01:52After blowing on it to dry, she put it back on, then took off the other shoe to mark the toe area,

00:01:58blowing on it again before continuing on her day.

00:02:02After finishing up and looking around for a bit, it wasn't too bad,

00:02:06and then she confidently stepped out of the restroom.

00:02:09Meanwhile, her sister Njai was leisurely taking selfies while her assistant carried her luggage behind her.

00:02:14They both attended a business seminar, where Dalmi was an audience member sitting below the stage,

00:02:20and Njai was a guest speaker on stage.

00:02:23During the key and a session, Dalmi took the microphone and asked Njai that she had ever made a selfish decision.

00:02:31Njai admitted that she had, acknowledging that she is human after all.

00:02:35Later, at a cafe, Njai exuded an air of superiority.

00:02:39She asked Dalmi if she was also looking to start her own business,

00:02:44to which Dalmi confirmed that indeed she was.

00:02:47Specifically, Dalmi was considering resigning from her job to open a hot dog stand with her grandmother.

00:02:54Njai then inquired about Dalmi's romantic life, and Dalmi responded that she had a boyfriend.

00:03:00However, the truth was that Dalmi, nearing 30, was still single, and often took selfies alone at couple spots.

00:03:08Njai glanced at Dalmi's worn and scuffed shoes and just smiled.

00:03:13She then asked what her boyfriend's name was, and Dalmi replied that his name was Nam Doosan,

00:03:18the youngest mathematical Olympiad winner with a bright future ahead.

00:03:23Njai smiled again.

00:03:24On the way back, Njai invited Dalmi to a fancy social gathering and asked her to bring Nam Doosan along,

00:03:31saying she was eager to see what he was like.

00:03:34Dalmi immediately declined because she had never actually met Nam Doosan.

00:03:39Just as she was about to leave, Njai turned around and thanked Dalmi,

00:03:44saying her presence helped Njai realize how right her own choices had been.

00:03:48Looking at Dalmi's tattered shoes and her fictional boyfriend,

00:03:52Njai commented on how miserable Dalmi's life seemed.

00:03:56After that, she turned and got into her car.

00:03:59Angry, Dalmi clenched her fist, quickly chased after and stopped the car,

00:04:04then walked up to her sister Njai and boldly declared that she should send the time and place

00:04:10of the social event, and she and Doosan would attend together.

00:04:13However, she immediately regretted her dramatic display as a young man sitting in a car across

00:04:19the street couldn't help but laugh.

00:04:21That young man followed Dalmi all the way to a hot dog stand.

00:04:25From a distance, he suddenly froze, realizing he had won a $100 million prize but couldn't

00:04:31afford to buy a hot dog.

00:04:33Watching others enjoy their noodles, he could only swallow his saliva.

00:04:38The young man wandered the rainy streets at night with no home to return to.

00:04:42Suddenly, the hot dog stand owner stopped him, noticed his drenched state, and remarked that

00:04:48it seemed he had nowhere to live.

00:04:49She then looked towards a cherry blossom tree, mentioning that a birdcage hanging there contained

00:04:55a key inside.

00:04:56After saying this, she turned and walked away, outwardly stern, but her body language revealing

00:05:02her sincerity.

00:05:04The young man went into the store, looked around, and uncovered a newspaper on a table hiding

00:05:09two hot dogs beneath it.

00:05:11He quickly sat down and began to eat voraciously.

00:05:14After filling his stomach, he felt revitalized and then noticed the elderly woman's savings

00:05:20tube, staring intently at it.

00:05:22The next day, the grandmother remembered her savings tube, which contained all the wealth

00:05:27she had accumulated.

00:05:28She hurriedly woke up and ran to the store, relieved to find the tube and the money still

00:05:34intact.

00:05:34It was only then that she could breathe a sigh of relief.

00:05:37At that moment, the young man entered and reminded her to deposit the money in the bank.

00:05:42She took him to the bank to deposit the money, and as they walked out, the young man noticed

00:05:47a stock company's announcement board.

00:05:49It turned out he had once participated in a national investment simulation contest and

00:05:54had won first place.

00:05:56The $100 million was virtual money that he had won, and thinking about his investment skills,

00:06:02the young man begged the grandmother to open a stock account for him.

00:06:05Afterwards, he would spend his days at the library, studying and trading stocks.

00:06:10Soon after, Dal Mi's parents divorced, and her sister followed their mother.

00:06:15Seeing her granddaughter Dal Mai in tears and without friends, the grandmother asked the

00:06:20young man, named Ji Piyong, to help by writing a letter to make friends with Dal Mi.

00:06:26Ji Piyong didn't want to use his own name.

00:06:29Seeing a newspaper article about the math prodigy Nam Doosan, they decided to use this name for

00:06:34the letter.

00:06:35Dal Mi was overjoyed to receive the letter, and quickly wrote a reply.

00:06:39Thus, they continued exchanging letters hidden in the birdcage, becoming good friends.

00:06:45Gradually, Dal Mi was able to emerge from her emotional shadows, and Ji Piyong proved

00:06:50to be an investment genius.

00:06:52In just over a year, the money in the stock account grew from $8 million to $80 million.

00:06:57Today, he wanted to withdraw this money to study in Seoul, only to find out that the account

00:07:02had been deleted.

00:07:03He was incredibly stressed and hurried to find his grandmother, only to see that she had given

00:07:08all the money to her son, which infuriated him.

00:07:12After her son left, Ji Piyong furiously confronted the grandmother, asking why she had given all

00:07:18the money to his uncle, stating that it was earned through his investments.

00:07:22The grandmother, deeply saddened, turned and went inside the store, then came out with a

00:07:28large bag and handed it to Ji Piyong.

00:07:31To his surprise, inside were stacks of money.

00:07:34It turned out she had given her son her own $8 million, while she hadn't touched a set

00:07:39of Ji Piyong's money.

00:07:41Ashamed, Ji Piyong apologized, then turned and ran away.

00:07:45Sitting at the train station, Ji Piyong felt very guilty.

00:07:49Suddenly, the grandmother appeared and presented him with a new pair of shoes.

00:07:53She even bent down to help him put on the shoes and made him promise that if he became successful

00:07:59in the future, he should not contact her anymore.

00:08:02The words spoken by his grandmother completely shattered Ji Piyong's heart.

00:08:06Overcome with emotion, he hugged her tightly and tearfully told her that she must take good

00:08:11care of her health.

00:08:12Fifteen years later, Ji Piyong had become a wealthy investor with assets worth tens of billions

00:08:18of dong.

00:08:19During a lecture on entrepreneurship, he recognized his old friend Dal Mi and followed her home,

00:08:24eventually reuniting with the grandmother he knew from years past.

00:08:28He approached her hot dog stand, and the grandmother was overjoyed to see Ji Piyong.

00:08:33She couldn't believe her eyes and asked why he had come, wondering if he had nowhere else

00:08:39to go.

00:08:40Meanwhile, Dal Mi wanted to introduce her boyfriend Nam Du San to a party, but she couldn't find

00:08:46any information about him online.

00:08:48Desperate to find Nam Du San, Dal Mi was determined, and her grandmother became very anxious.

00:08:54She asked Dal Mi why she hated the idea of losing to her sister.

00:08:59Dal Mai explained that losing would mean her choice to stay with her father was wrong, and

00:09:04people would sympathize with her, thinking she regretted her decision.

00:09:08However, living with her father made her very happy, and she did not regret it at all.

00:09:13Therefore, she could not afford to lose this time.

00:09:16Seeing her granddaughter so distressed, the grandmother was heartbroken.

00:09:20The grandmother went to find Ji Piyong, hoping he could help her find this Nam Du San.

00:09:26Coincidentally, a person named Nam Du San had been continuously sending emails to him,

00:09:31wanting to meet for an investment opportunity.

00:09:34Ji Piyong quickly located Du San, who was currently being scolded and chastised by his father for

00:09:40being ineffectual and disorganized in his career.

00:09:43Ji Piyong advised the grandmother that it might be better not to look for this Nam Du San,

00:09:48as not only would it fail to restore their dignity, but it might also lead to them being mocked by

00:09:53In Ja.

00:09:54However, he remarked that it was still a stroke of luck amidst misfortune,

00:09:58as the probability of Dal Mai finding Nam Du San was almost zero.

00:10:03Yet just then, Ji Piyong was metaphorically doused with cold water,

00:10:07when the grandmother suddenly received a call from Dal Mai.

00:10:10She said she had found Nam Du San.

00:10:12It turned out that because he was running out of money,

00:10:15Nam Du San was preparing to sell some of his belongings online,

00:10:19posting used items for sale.

00:10:21By coincidence, Dal Mai found him and confirmed it through the photos.

00:10:26This was indeed the Nam Du San she was looking for,

00:10:28so she arranged a time and place to meet.

00:10:31Overjoined at finding the Nam Du San she had longed for,

00:10:34Dal Mai was ecstatic.

00:10:36When the time for their meeting arrived,

00:10:38Ji Piyong suddenly rushed in and pulled Nam Du San away.

00:10:42Nam Du San was about to scold him when he realized this man was the renowned investor,

00:10:47and wondered if Ji Piyong was there to invest in them.

00:10:51Overwhelmed, Nam Du San spoke incoherently, his hands trembling.

00:10:55In the car, Ji Piyong told Nam Du San to read Dal Mai's letters.

00:11:00These were all written by her to him,

00:11:02and Ji Piyong also explained the story behind these letters.

00:11:06After half a day, Nam Du San finally understood that Ji Piyong came not to invest,

00:11:11but to ask him to pretend to be Siyo Dal Mai's boyfriend.

00:11:15After negotiating, they agreed to help Ji Piyong,

00:11:18on the condition that they helped get their Sam San technology into the sandbox program.

00:11:23However, Ji Piyong refused because he thought the company's capabilities were truly mediocre.

00:11:29After reading all the letters,

00:11:31Nam Du San was moved by Siyo Dal Mai,

00:11:33and decided he would still help her.

00:11:36He borrowed a suit, then got on a bicycle and set off.

00:11:39Dal Mai arrived at the party,

00:11:42still not familiar with such situations,

00:11:44so she seemed more cautious.

00:11:46She found the spot that wasn't too prominent,

00:11:48and stayed away from the crowd.

00:11:50When Dal Mai's mother looked towards her,

00:11:52she immediately turned her head to pretend to look elsewhere.

00:11:56Ji Piyong also arrived at the party,

00:11:58and saw Dal Mai standing timidly in a corner.

00:12:01He was about to go over to help her,

00:12:03but he was too late.

00:12:04Seeing her mother and sister in Ji approaching,

00:12:07Dal Mai quickly hugged Nam Du San,

00:12:09and asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

00:12:12As soon as they met,

00:12:14In Ji began probing Nam Du San,

00:12:16asking if he was preparing to start a business,

00:12:19realizing she could no longer pretend.

00:12:21Dal Mai was about to give up when Nam Du San immediately took her hand,

00:12:25and said that they were not starting a business,

00:12:27but rather running one together.

00:12:29In Ji, still not convinced,

00:12:31asked which investment round his company was currently in.

00:12:35This question completely stumped Nam Du San,

00:12:38who was not familiar with the language of the investment world.

00:12:41Just when it seemed their cover was about to be blown,

00:12:44Ji Piyong stepped in to help them.

00:12:47Ji Piyong,

00:12:48a highly successful figure in the investment world,

00:12:51always picked excellent projects.

00:12:53To prevent the truth from being exposed,

00:12:55Ji Piyong quickly made up an excuse to pull Nam Du San away,

00:12:59successfully continuing their ruse.

00:13:02As the party ended,

00:13:03Nam Du San was about to catch a bus

00:13:05when Ji Piyong stopped him and led him to the parking lot.

00:13:08He then told Nam Du San to drive his luxurious car,

00:13:12and take Dal Mai home.

00:13:13Ji Piyong advised Nam Du San to nod and smile more,

00:13:17just following the model of a warm-hearted man.

00:13:20After dropping off Seo Dal Mai at her house,

00:13:23he should quickly find a reason to break things off with her.

00:13:26Nam Du San picked up Dal Mai,

00:13:28and they went to the riverside to have a late-night meal together.

00:13:31Dal Mai asked if he wasn't curious about everything she had done today,

00:13:36wondering why he hadn't asked her about it.

00:13:38At the moment,

00:13:39Nam Du San was following the model of a gentle and warm man.

00:13:43Dal Mai was amused by his candid response,

00:13:46and they both enjoyed a lively conversation.

00:13:49Nam Du San thought everything about himself was dull,

00:13:52but Dal Mai surprised him by saying he was very interesting and cool.

00:13:56His eyes widened in surprise,

00:13:58and it took Ji Piyong a lot of effort to find them.

00:14:01Seeing them together made him anxious,

00:14:04so he quickly sent a message to Nam Du San urging him to take Dal Mai home

00:14:08and decisively end everything.

00:14:10Dal Mai, thinking the message was from Du San's girlfriend,

00:14:14urged him to hurry home.

00:14:16Recalling all the beautiful moments between them,

00:14:19Nam Du San was so captivated by Dal Mai that he couldn't let go.

00:14:23Ignoring Ji Piyong's gestures,

00:14:25he turned back and handed his business card to Dal Mai,

00:14:29also telling her that he had never had a girlfriend before.

00:14:32Dal Mai was thrilled upon receiving Nam Du San's message,

00:14:36her joy evident as she couldn't stop smiling.

00:14:39She told her grandmother that she had finally met Nam Du San at the perfect time.

00:14:43He looked like a model in his suit,

00:14:45the star of the evening.

00:14:47However, at this moment,

00:14:48she still didn't realize that the real person who had been writing to her

00:14:52was Ji Piyong,

00:14:53not the current Nam Du San.

00:14:56Dal Mai went to the store,

00:14:57which was bustling with a huge crowd

00:14:59as her colleagues immediately pulled her to the side.

00:15:02It turned out there was a concert nearby with many fans gathering.

00:15:06Her colleague wanted to get Dal Mai to safety first,

00:15:09but she firmly pushed her colleague away and tied her hair up.

00:15:13She saw this as a great opportunity to break sales records.

00:15:16Then, filled with confidence,

00:15:18Dal Mai walked towards the store.

00:15:20Inside, the store was chaotic,

00:15:23with employees overwhelmed as usual tactics no longer worked.

00:15:27Dal Mai had a new idea.

00:15:29She played a song by the famous artist,

00:15:31and the fans immediately went wild.

00:15:34In an instant, Dal Mai took charge,

00:15:37and soon order was restored in the store.

00:15:39What would you like?

00:15:40She asked.

00:15:41When a customer was uncooperative,

00:15:43she unapologetically escorted him out.

00:15:45Everything returned to normal,

00:15:48and the day's sales eventually reached $10 million,

00:15:51setting a new record high.

00:15:53Her colleagues applauded and praised Dal Mai,

00:15:56but despite her exceptional abilities,

00:15:58the company still couldn't promote her to a full-time employee

00:16:01because of her educational background.

00:16:03So Dal Mai decided to resign and prepare for her entrepreneurial venture.

00:16:08She took a money plant and quickly left the company,

00:16:10then texted Nam Doosan,

00:16:13wanting to give him a money plant as a gift.

00:16:15Upon learning that Dal Mai intended to visit Nam Doosan's shabby company,

00:16:20G.P.Yong panicked,

00:16:22worrying that their pretense would be exposed.

00:16:24He hurriedly drove to Nam Doosan's company,

00:16:27and then instructed them to move their computers to his mansion.

00:16:30Box by box,

00:16:32they unloaded cords and set up computers,

00:16:35discarding old photos and replacing the signage,

00:16:38transforming into suave businessmen in no time.

00:16:41Dal Mai was surprised by the spaciousness of the place

00:16:44and had a few things to say to Doosan.

00:16:47She planned to quit her job and start a business like him.

00:16:50Judging by everyone's reactions,

00:16:52it was clear how far things had already gone.

00:16:55After Dal Mai left,

00:16:57G.P.Yong declared that the charade should end here.

00:17:00Soon, the grandmother would reveal the whole truth to Dal Mai.

00:17:03However, Nam Doosan had fallen for Dal Mai

00:17:06and didn't want her to know the truth,

00:17:09fearing he would lose any chance with her.

00:17:11G.P.Yong didn't think highly of their company,

00:17:14believing it was doomed to fail

00:17:15and advised against wasting any more money

00:17:18and to find a different path.

00:17:20But then, G.P.Yong was shocked

00:17:22when they won the World Artificial Intelligence Competition,

00:17:25which could potentially turn their fortunes.

00:17:28Unable to bear ruining Dal Mai's positive thoughts,

00:17:31G.P.Yong advised the grandmother

00:17:32not to reveal the truth to her just yet.

00:17:35He decided to help Nam Doosan become successful.

00:17:39The grandmother questioned G.P.Yong,

00:17:41asking if his persistence was because he had feelings for Dal Mai.

00:17:45In the small, run-down office of Samson Tech,

00:17:48Nam Doosan was also trying hard to convince his team

00:17:51to collaborate with G.P.Yong.

00:17:53Yang Sal asked him if he had developed feelings for Dal Mai.

00:17:56Meanwhile, N.J. was being ignored by her stepfather,

00:18:00who had decided to hand over his entire business

00:18:02to his biological son.

00:18:04Furious, N.J. decided to leave her stepfather

00:18:07and strike out on her own to start her own venture.

00:18:10Each of them had their own goals

00:18:12and had registered to participate

00:18:14in the sandbox startup competition.

00:18:16The accidental meeting of the couple

00:18:18turned out to be quite a scene.

00:18:20Quickly sitting down,

00:18:21they tittied their messy hair,

00:18:23changed their worn-out shoes,

00:18:25adjusted their clothes,

00:18:26took out lipstick,

00:18:27and touched up the makeup on their faces.

00:18:30After picking up some entrepreneurship books,

00:18:32they stood up again.

00:18:34Upon returning to the bus station,

00:18:36Dal Mai asked where his car was

00:18:38and Doosan momentarily blanked before responding.

00:18:41He had stayed at a friend's house last night

00:18:43where it was inconvenient to drive,

00:18:45so he hadn't used his car,

00:18:47explaining his casual attire.

00:18:49Fortunately, Dal Mai found his style

00:18:52quite friendly and approachable.

00:18:54Tomorrow was his birthday,

00:18:55and she asked if he had any plans.

00:18:58Doosan was taken aback,

00:19:00as this was probably Ji Puyang's birthday,

00:19:02since he was the one who wrote those letters.

00:19:05Doosan hastily pretended to be so busy

00:19:07that he had forgotten his own birthday

00:19:09and had no plans yet.

00:19:11Dal Mai said she would help him fulfill his wish tomorrow,

00:19:14and then she boarded the bus.

00:19:17Watching the bus pull away,

00:19:18Doosan hesitated for a moment

00:19:20before decisively leaving his friend behind

00:19:22and chasing after the bus,

00:19:24then getting on and sitting next to Dal Mai.

00:19:27Was this action strong and masculine enough?

00:19:30At that moment,

00:19:31Doosan's gaze was so foolishly obvious

00:19:34that he couldn't hide it,

00:19:35wondering what was wrong with his hand.

00:19:38After returning,

00:19:39Doosan walked and touched his hand,

00:19:41smiling foolishly.

00:19:43To celebrate his girlfriend's birthday together,

00:19:45Nam Doosan had borrowed a bunch of designer clothes,

00:19:49an expensive car,

00:19:50a watch worth hundreds of thousands,

00:19:52and even the suit he was wearing.

00:19:54Now he stood in front of Dal Mai's house,

00:19:57Ji Puyang advising him to act natural while waiting.

00:20:00Doosan asked Ji Puyang

00:20:02if he remembered the wish written in his letter.

00:20:05But Ji Puyang still couldn't recall,

00:20:07only able to take things one step at a time.

00:20:10When Dal Mai appeared,

00:20:11she mentioned that his childhood dream

00:20:13was to play Hanafuda.

00:20:15But Ji Puyang couldn't remember

00:20:16why he had that particular wish to play Hanafuda.

00:20:20Doosan could only say that too much time had passed,

00:20:23and he had forgotten why he had that wish.

00:20:25Then they decided to go back to the office

00:20:28to play Hanafuda.

00:20:29Ji Puyang hurriedly went to pick up a few friends of Doosan

00:20:32and move the computers again.

00:20:35They set down boxes,

00:20:36installed computers,

00:20:38changed the signage,

00:20:39swapped the photos,

00:20:40and finally put on suits.

00:20:42Everything was set up just in time

00:20:44before the two of them arrived.

00:20:46Dal Mai brought out some snacks,

00:20:48mentioning they were a gift

00:20:49from her grandmother for Nam Doosan.

00:20:51Seeing a table full of his favorite snacks,

00:20:54Ji Puyang was completely taken aback

00:20:56and finally remembered his childhood wish.

00:20:59It turned out that during a mid-autumn festival,

00:21:02Dal Mai had written to ask what his wish was.

00:21:04Ji Puyang, an orphan at the time,

00:21:07was watching TV alone

00:21:08and saw a family happily playing Hanafuda together.

00:21:11Thus, he told Dal Mai that his wish was for his family

00:21:15to be together and play Hanafuda.

00:21:18Ji Puyang was deeply moved,

00:21:20surprised that his childhood wish

00:21:21was still clearly remembered by his grandmother and Dal Mai.

00:21:25His grandmother still remembered the snacks he liked,

00:21:28and Dal Mai suggested that perhaps his wish

00:21:31stemmed from his love for family fun during the holidays.

00:21:34Ji Puyang played joyfully,

00:21:36finally fulfilling his childhood wish.

00:21:38However, he also felt pain,

00:21:41realizing he had pushed Dal Mai towards someone else.

00:21:44At this point, he started feeling differently

00:21:46about Seo Dal Mai.

00:21:48In the evening, as Doosan drove Dal Mai home,

00:21:52he asked her why she liked him.

00:21:53Dal Mai replied that he was her first love,

00:21:56and the letters he wrote had comforted her for a long time.

00:21:59She said he was very cool and handsome,

00:22:02and that he had beautiful large hands.

00:22:04Nam Doosan felt disappointed,

00:22:06because all of this was based on him

00:22:08impersonating someone else.

00:22:10Only his hands were truly his.

00:22:12He felt like a nobody and feared losing Dal Mai.

00:22:16After returning, Doosan gave the expensive items back to Ji Puyang.

00:22:20Ji Puyang mentioned that he bought the outfit for Doosan,

00:22:23who could keep it, but Doosan declined the gesture.

00:22:27He explained that the act was charitable,

00:22:29not an investment.

00:22:31Advice alone would suffice.

00:22:33Doosan was resolute in his determination

00:22:35to win Dal Mai's heart through his own efforts.

00:22:38That night, Ji Puyang couldn't sleep.

00:22:41Finally, the day arrived when Dal Mai followed her sister's gaze

00:22:44to see Nam Doosan below the stage.

00:22:46Feeling embarrassed, Doosan quickly bowed his head.

00:22:50Unable to look up,

00:22:51Dal Mai walked down the stage towards Nam Doosan

00:22:54and asked him why he was there,

00:22:56questioning if he didn't already have a great office

00:22:59and substantial investment.

00:23:00Nam Doosan, incredibly embarrassed,

00:23:03struggled to respond.

00:23:05In-J approached and used her phone

00:23:06to scan the QR code on Nam Doosan's employee badge.

00:23:10It turned out he hadn't secured any investment,

00:23:13only winning first place in the KODA competition.

00:23:16In-J smirked disdainfully,

00:23:18while Nam Doosan, under intense stress,

00:23:21took a long time before he could speak.

00:23:24He apologized to Dal Mai,

00:23:26admitting his deception,

00:23:27and asking if she was disappointed.

00:23:29They were participating in the Sandbox Venture competition,

00:23:33where the first challenge was the CEO selection.

00:23:36Only those who passed the test could become a CEO

00:23:38and choose members to form a team.

00:23:41Dal Mai and her sister In-J had both passed the test

00:23:44and ascended the stage to receive T-shirts printed with CEO.

00:23:48Nam Doosan's team, however, failed to pass.

00:23:52Without a CEO choosing them,

00:23:53they would have to withdraw from the competition.

00:23:55At that moment, they only needed to convince Dal Mai

00:23:59to become their CEO to form a new startup team

00:24:02and continue in the competition.

00:24:04Just then, challenging Dal Mai.

00:24:07In-J also made a similar offer to have Doosan's team

00:24:10become part of her development staff.

00:24:12One was a novice CEO,

00:24:14while the other was a seasoned and highly capable CEO.

00:24:17Posing a tough choice,

00:24:19the team members immediately pulled Nam Doosan aside,

00:24:22reminding him not to let personal feelings interfere.

00:24:25They were facing a professional player,

00:24:28a stark contrast to their amateur status.

00:24:31Doosan explained to his teammates

00:24:32that one person wanted to join them,

00:24:35while the other wanted to hire them as employees.

00:24:38They needed a comrade, not a boss,

00:24:40so their choice was clear.

00:24:42Nam Doosan successfully persuaded his team.

00:24:44At that moment, In-J told Dal Mai

00:24:47that Nam Doosan was just pretending

00:24:49to be competent in front of her,

00:24:51and asked if she wasn't upset with him.

00:24:53Dal Mai wasn't angry because she too

00:24:55had once tried to appear competent before someone.

00:24:58After negotiations, Nam Doosan approached Dal Mai

00:25:01and extended his hand,

00:25:03asking her to agree to him

00:25:05being the director of Samson Tech.

00:25:07Next came the second stage of the contest,

00:25:10which involved presenting a feasible business plan

00:25:12in a three-minute pitch to convince investors.

00:25:15After discussing, Dal Mai's team decided on a theme

00:25:18that leveraged machine learning

00:25:20to authenticate academic records.

00:25:22However, their innovative idea was overheard

00:25:25by a technician in In-J's team,

00:25:27who was sporting pink hair.

00:25:29She suggested that In-J should also use this theme.

00:25:32The technicians in In-J's team

00:25:33were all graduates from top universities,

00:25:36and had experience in this kind of venture competition.

00:25:39Quickly, they established a viable business model.

00:25:42Meanwhile, Nam Doosan's team faced repeated setbacks,

00:25:46and ultimately had to rewrite their framework from scratch.

00:25:49It was a significant project,

00:25:51and failure this time meant they would have to withdraw

00:25:54from the competition entirely,

00:25:56leaving Dal Mai to concede defeat to her sister.

00:25:59In the restroom, the sisters once again clashed.

00:26:02In-J taunted Dal Mai,

00:26:04suggesting her programmers were clueless

00:26:06and her choices always wrong,

00:26:09advising her to just keep quiet

00:26:10and see who would regret their decisions,

00:26:13despite her outward bravado.

00:26:15Dal Mai felt uncertain inside.

00:26:17When she saw Nam Doosan,

00:26:19she rushed over,

00:26:20anxiously inquiring about the results.

00:26:23Learning that their model's accuracy

00:26:24had exceeded 99.98%,

00:26:27Dal Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief

00:26:30and overwhelmed,

00:26:31leaned on Doosan's shoulder,

00:26:33crying from the stress and difficulties she had endured.

00:26:37Now only the presentation remained,

00:26:39and its success would be determined in that moment.

00:26:42However, at that crucial time,

00:26:44there was discord among the team members.

00:26:46They objected to Dal Mai presenting

00:26:48because they believed her academic performance

00:26:51was not strong enough to explain

00:26:53the complexities of artificial intelligence,

00:26:55and suggested that Nam Doosan

00:26:57would be a better choice to present.

00:26:59Nam Doosan, however,

00:27:00insisted on letting Dal Mai present.

00:27:03Amidst their argument,

00:27:04Ji Pyeong suddenly appeared.

00:27:06He bluntly stated that while letting Dal Mai present

00:27:09might not guarantee success,

00:27:10it certainly couldn't be worse

00:27:12than any of the team's past failures,

00:27:14which they hadn't managed to overcome in two years.

00:27:18Seeing the ongoing disagreement,

00:27:20Ji Pyeong promised that if Dal Mai's presentation failed,

00:27:23he would personally invest in their project,

00:27:25which ended the argument.

00:27:27Ji Pyeong then found Dal Mai

00:27:29and helped her revise her speech draft,

00:27:32offering some crucial tips to focus on.

00:27:34Dal Mai's presentation turned out to be a resounding success,

00:27:37receiving enthusiastic applause

00:27:40and positive acknowledgement from the judges.

00:27:43Everything seemed to be going smoothly,

00:27:45and it looked like there was hope

00:27:46for advancing into the sandbox startup incubator.

00:27:50Following her was NJ,

00:27:51whose presentation topic was identical to Dal Mai's

00:27:54but approached from a completely different angle.

00:27:57Dal Mai's project focused on authenticating academic records,

00:28:01whereas NJ's created new fonts based on recorded data.

00:28:04The judges proposed a challenge between the two teams,

00:28:07to test if Dal Mai's system could recognize

00:28:10the fonts generated by NJ's system.

00:28:13The auditorium fell into a tense silence

00:28:15as the test commenced,

00:28:16and unfortunately, Dal Mai's system

00:28:19failed to recognize the new fonts,

00:28:21leading to their apparent defeat.

00:28:23Nam Doosan, disheartened,

00:28:26broke his pen in frustration.

00:28:28Dal Mai exchanged a sad glance with her sister

00:28:30and closed her eyes in despair,

00:28:33realizing they might lose the competition.

00:28:35Their female teammate began packing up,

00:28:37preparing to leave.

00:28:39Exhausted, Dal Mai dozed off on a sofa in the lobby,

00:28:43where Ji Pyeong, unable to resist,

00:28:45came and sat beside her.

00:28:47As he watched her sleep,

00:28:49he'd reminisced about their childhood.

00:28:51When he turned his head back,

00:28:53Dal Mai had already woken up

00:28:54and was staring intently at him,

00:28:56realizing she was there.

00:28:58He awkwardly said he was about to leave.

00:29:01Dal Mai quickly followed and stopped him,

00:29:03eager to understand why he was so willing to help them,

00:29:06even if it meant lying.

00:29:08Just as Ji Pyeong was about to explain,

00:29:11Nam Doosan rushed in with news that changed everything.

00:29:14Dal Mai, we made it into Sandbox.

00:29:17Samson Tech had been listed as a participant,

00:29:20and in her excitement,

00:29:21Dal Mai threw herself into Nam Doosan's arms,

00:29:25momentarily forgetting Ji Pyeong's presence.

00:29:28Ji Pyeong, feeling disappointed,

00:29:30quietly turned to leave.

00:29:31Suddenly, Dal Mai remembered Ji Pyeong

00:29:34and tried to leave Nam Doosan to find him.

00:29:37Nam Doosan held her back,

00:29:39revealing that he had begged Ji Pyeong to meet again

00:29:42after 15 years apart.

00:29:44He wanted her to see him at his best,

00:29:47which is why he had invited Ji Pyeong to help the team.

00:29:50Nam Doosan explained that Ji Pyeong

00:29:52was particularly close to him,

00:29:54almost like a brother,

00:29:55and that's why Ji Pyeong had agreed to assist them.

00:29:59Nam Doosan found Ji Pyeong,

00:30:00and told him that he had explained things to Dal Mi,

00:30:04mentioning that their close relationship

00:30:06was the reason Ji Pyeong helped.

00:30:08This revelation made Ji Pyeong feel a strange disappointment.

00:30:12However, from the first day in Sandbox,

00:30:15the team was already in conflict.

00:30:17Ji Pyeong, feeling deeply disheartened as their advisor,

00:30:20stood up and left the room.

00:30:22Dal Mi chased after him,

00:30:24wanting to explain,

00:30:25but Ji Pyeong bluntly stated

00:30:27that they were already fighting like this

00:30:29just after receiving a $100 million business grant.

00:30:33He expressed skepticism about their ability

00:30:35to scale to tens of billions of dollars,

00:30:37considering it merely a fantasy.

00:30:39Moreover, he pointed out a more pressing issue,

00:30:42Dal Mi's inability to resolve equity disputes,

00:30:46identifying her as the biggest problem

00:30:48given her role as the representative.

00:30:50Dal Mi felt like a failure

00:30:52as she saw two team members leave in anger

00:30:54and hurt in Ji's mocking laughter.

00:30:57She recalled a story from earlier that morning

00:30:59about a company where a 20-year partnership

00:31:01ended over an equity dispute.

00:31:03At that time,

00:31:04she thought such friendships were too fragile

00:31:06and believed her own company

00:31:08would never face such issues,

00:31:10boasting about their unity

00:31:11and fair equity distribution.

00:31:13Ji Pyeong starkly reminded her of the harsh reality,

00:31:17using a metaphor about a shareholder list

00:31:19with a million points,

00:31:21asserting that no smart investor

00:31:22would touch such a list.

00:31:24He argued that equal distribution of shares

00:31:26could become an obstacle for the representative,

00:31:28as any dissent from a single shareholder

00:31:31could paralyze decision-making.

00:31:33The team was stunned by his words.

00:31:35Doosan reassured them

00:31:36that such a scenario would not happen,

00:31:39believing their friendship was strong and unchangeable.

00:31:42But Ji Pyeong's warning hinted at a deeper truth,

00:31:45suggesting that if mere assurances were effective,

00:31:47no one would ever divorce.

00:31:50Unlike personal relationships

00:31:51that might end with a separation,

00:31:54a company's conflicts could not be so easily resolved,

00:31:57indicating the complexities

00:31:58and potential consequences of business partnerships.

00:32:01Ji Pyeong highlighted the risks of internal disputes

00:32:04to Nam Doosan and Dalmi,

00:32:07emphasizing that if they turned against each other,

00:32:09it would be the investor's money at stake,

00:32:12and no investor would accept such a risk.

00:32:14He advised that they must consolidate their shares

00:32:17into the hands of a key individual,

00:32:19holding at least 60% of the equity

00:32:21to avoid such scenarios.

00:32:23Back in the office,

00:32:24Nam Doosan stared blankly at the shareholder list,

00:32:28disheartened by the realization

00:32:29that their company was facing issues

00:32:31similar to others from day one.

00:32:34On their way home,

00:32:35he reassured Dalmi not to worry too much about it

00:32:38and that he would find a way

00:32:39to convince the rest of the team.

00:32:41He had decided that she should be

00:32:43the company's representative

00:32:44and he was confident in this decision,

00:32:47encouraging her to further her knowledge

00:32:49about being a CEO.

00:32:51Dalmi started to educate herself more about the role

00:32:54and frequently messaged Ji Pyeong for advice,

00:32:57not realizing how much time had passed

00:32:59until daylight broke.

00:33:01Ji Pyeong,

00:33:02waking up to find 416 messages from Dalmi,

00:33:06explained to her that no CEO is perfect

00:33:08and that the most crucial aspect

00:33:10is learning how to make decisions.

00:33:12He cautioned that regardless of the decision made,

00:33:15criticism is inevitable,

00:33:17but fear of criticism can lead to indecision

00:33:19and failure as a representative.

00:33:21He stressed that one could either be a good person

00:33:24or a good CEO,

00:33:25but it's difficult to be both.

00:33:27After a night of reflection,

00:33:29the two team members who had been considering leaving

00:33:31had a change of heart.

00:33:33Although the immediate risk was mitigated

00:33:34and everyone agreed to consolidate the shares

00:33:37in Dalmi's favor,

00:33:38Dalmi chose to transfer all her shares

00:33:41to Nam Doosan instead.

00:33:42They decided to stand together,

00:33:44even though it was not the ideal solution,

00:33:47but it was enough to persuade Ji Pyeong.

00:33:49The $100 million grant was soon to be transferred

00:33:52into their account.

00:33:54After navigating through these events,

00:33:56Nam Doosan told Ji Pyeong

00:33:57he intended to come clean to Dalmi

00:34:00about everything that day,

00:34:01resolving to address any lingering crisis first.

00:34:05Ji Pyeong warned Nam Doosan

00:34:06not to reveal the truth to Dalmi just yet,

00:34:09as it could potentially end both their relationship

00:34:12and the future of Samson Tech.

00:34:14However,

00:34:15Doosan felt that there might not be any change

00:34:17even if he told her.

00:34:18That day,

00:34:19Dalmi had invited Doosan to her home,

00:34:22and upon entering,

00:34:23both her grandmother

00:34:24and Nam Doosan were taken aback,

00:34:27having unexpectedly met earlier at the hospital

00:34:30where they learned of her grandmother's deteriorating eyesight,

00:34:33which would soon lead to blindness.

00:34:35As Nam Doosan was about to speak,

00:34:37the grandmother quickly signaled him

00:34:39not to mention their hospital encounter,

00:34:42and then sent Dalmi out to buy soy sauce,

00:34:44leaving her to talk privately with Doosan.

00:34:47She urged him not to tell Dalmi about her vision problems,

00:34:50as it would only upset her.

00:34:52The grandmother expressed a desire

00:34:54to see Dalmi smile as much as possible,

00:34:56believing that her smile made her eyes look their most beautiful.

00:35:00She wanted to cherish these visuals a bit longer,

00:35:03knowing she would have no regrets

00:35:05even if she eventually lost her sight.

00:35:07Feeling conflicted,

00:35:09Nam Doosan was now unsure

00:35:10how to proceed with his original intention

00:35:12to confess the truth to Dalmi.

00:35:15Ji Piyong,

00:35:16recalling Doosan's determination to reveal everything

00:35:19and his wait-and-see remark,

00:35:22became extremely frustrated.

00:35:24In a spur of anger,

00:35:25he drove straight to Dalmi's house,

00:35:27coincidentally arriving

00:35:28just as she was returning from buying soy sauce.

00:35:31Dalmi was surprised to see Ji Piyong there unexpectedly.

00:35:35Observing Dalmi's reaction,

00:35:37Ji Piyong realized that Doosan

00:35:39had not yet disclosed the truth.

00:35:41He decided to continue pretending

00:35:43to be just a close friend of Doosan

00:35:45and acted as if he was not familiar with the grandmother.

00:35:48After greeting her,

00:35:49he excused himself saying

00:35:51he urgently needed to speak with Doosan.

00:35:53Doosan, momentarily fearful,

00:35:56hid behind his grandmother

00:35:57and hastily assured Ji Piyong

00:35:59that he would handle things as discussed,

00:36:02so there was no need for worry.

00:36:04Ji Piyong,

00:36:05unsure of what to do next,

00:36:07was about to leave,

00:36:08but Dalmi invited him

00:36:10to stay for dinner with the family.

00:36:12After dinner,

00:36:13as Dalmi was seeing Ji Piyong

00:36:15and Nam Doosan off,

00:36:17Ji Piyong informed her

00:36:18that he had answered all 461 of her questions

00:36:21and sent the responses via email.

00:36:24He reminded her to check her email later.

00:36:27Observing Dalmi's admiring gaze towards him,

00:36:30Ji Piyong glanced provocatively at Nam Doosan,

00:36:33heightening the sense of competition between them,

00:36:36spotting something stuck in Dalmi's hair.

00:36:38Ji Piyong started to move forward to help

00:36:40but then stopped himself,

00:36:42mindful of their current relationship dynamics.

00:36:44Instead, Nam Doosan stepped forward,

00:36:48reassuring Dalmi

00:36:49that as the CEO holding 71% of the shares,

00:36:53he fully supported her

00:36:54and gently removed the thread from her hair.

00:36:57Ji Piyong felt an indistinct twinge of emotion

00:37:00seeing their intimate interaction.

00:37:02Sitting in the car afterwards,

00:37:04Ji Piyong mockingly challenged Nam Doosan

00:37:06about his earlier resolve

00:37:08to reveal the truth about the letters,

00:37:10questioning his courage.

00:37:11Embarrassed, Nam Doosan expressed his wish

00:37:14to get off and take a bus home.

00:37:16However, when Nam Doosan confessed

00:37:18that his feelings for Dalmi were genuine,

00:37:21Ji Piyong immediately stopped the car.

00:37:24The company had decided to undertake a project

00:37:26related to vision,

00:37:27which everyone initially found promising.

00:37:30However, Ji Piyong threw cold water on the idea,

00:37:34bluntly stating that the project,

00:37:36aimed at helping visually impaired people,

00:37:38was not commercially viable

00:37:39as it couldn't generate revenue

00:37:41through advertising campaigns.

00:37:43He also pointed out that it would require

00:37:45substantial funding,

00:37:46and the more users it attracted,

00:37:48the more money it would burn through,

00:37:50making it an unlikely candidate for investment.

00:37:53He warned that pursuing such a benevolent project

00:37:56could lead to financial hardship for the team,

00:37:58and they must carefully weigh their options.

00:38:01Dalmi, however, remained determined

00:38:02because of the project's significant meaning.

00:38:05She pleaded with Ji Piyong

00:38:07not to discuss these financial concerns

00:38:09with Nam Doosan so that he could continue

00:38:12his research and development undisturbed.

00:38:14She vowed to handle the financial side herself

00:38:16and find ways to raise the necessary funds.

00:38:20They decided to first accept a project

00:38:21from Morning Group,

00:38:23which could potentially fund their vision project.

00:38:25The deal offered $50 million

00:38:27for proposing a solution,

00:38:29$300 million for helping to build the project,

00:38:32and over $1 billion

00:38:33if they managed and operated the project successfully,

00:38:37providing a significant opportunity

00:38:39to secure the financial resources needed.

00:38:42If the project is approved,

00:38:44the company's survival problems will be resolved,

00:38:46and the funding issues for the Eyes project

00:38:49will also be addressed.

00:38:50Doosan is deeply concerned for Dalmi

00:38:53because the representative from Morning Group

00:38:55is her sister's stepfather

00:38:57and currently her mother's legal husband.

00:38:59Dalmi has always vehemently avoided meeting him,

00:39:02but to finance the project,

00:39:04she feels she must take this risk.

00:39:06Moreover, she maintains a strained relationship

00:39:09with her biological mother,

00:39:11which somewhat obliges her to be considerate.

00:39:13The project's smooth execution alone

00:39:15would make these complications worthwhile.

00:39:18However, unexpectedly,

00:39:20they are tasked with taking 100,000 photographs.

00:39:23Once enough data is collected for machine learning,

00:39:26the developers can implement a solution.

00:39:29This requirement feels like an unfair treatment

00:39:31of the developers.

00:39:32In frustration,

00:39:33Doosan clenches his fist.

00:39:35Hiring a part-timer to take 100,000 photos

00:39:38would be prohibitively expensive.

00:39:40Furthermore,

00:39:41they are unsure of what exactly should be photographed,

00:39:44suggesting it might be better left

00:39:46to AI experts like them.

00:39:48The partner comments that he found nothing of value

00:39:50on their website.

00:39:51Representative Wu Zheng is even more outrageous,

00:39:54insinuating that many companies exist,

00:39:57and they wonder why he chose theirs.

00:40:00He implies it's because of Dalmi's mother.

00:40:02If she had been more like her sister

00:40:04and followed her mother,

00:40:05they could have been a family.

00:40:07How wonderful that would have been.

00:40:08He muses,

00:40:09reflecting on the hardships Dalmi

00:40:11must have faced in the Siu household,

00:40:13always regretting not being able to care for her

00:40:16as his own daughter.

00:40:17At this,

00:40:18Doosan can no longer restrain himself,

00:40:20and he storms up to smash Wu Zheng's nameplate.

00:40:23Declaring the project unfeasible,

00:40:25he apologizes to Dalmi

00:40:27and decisively leaves the venue,

00:40:30with Dalmi hurriedly following him.

00:40:32Left alone,

00:40:33Wu Zheng stands bewildered,

00:40:35not understanding what just happened.

00:40:37Dalmi catches up to Doosan on the rooftop.

00:40:40She pleads with him,

00:40:42suggesting they abandon the project,

00:40:44unable to bear it any longer.

00:40:46Ji Piyong,

00:40:47Seeing Dalmi's stubbornness,

00:40:49chose not to stop her anymore.

00:40:51He provided her with a list of companies

00:40:53with substantial social responsibility funds,

00:40:56which included companies interested

00:40:57in the welfare of the disabled

00:40:59or those needing to improve their image.

00:41:02These companies were very interested

00:41:03in projects like Eyes.

00:41:05Dalmi visited each company on the list,

00:41:08but the outcome was either being asked

00:41:10to wait for more information

00:41:11or being told that this year's budgets

00:41:13were already depleted.

00:41:14Even going so far as to travel

00:41:16to remote suburbs with her clients,

00:41:19Dalmi couldn't secure any funding,

00:41:21leaving her exhausted and out of breath

00:41:23without any investment secured.

00:41:25Meanwhile,

00:41:26after many days of hard work,

00:41:28Doosan and his team finally completed

00:41:30the Eyes project tests

00:41:32and were ready to launch it on the market.

00:41:35Everyone was extremely excited

00:41:37and anticipatory,

00:41:38but Dalmi was still anxious.

00:41:40She alone knew that the annual cost

00:41:42for 1,000 users was around $30 million,

00:41:46so for 10,000 users,

00:41:47it would be $300 million.

00:41:50Yet, she hadn't received any investment.

00:41:52The harsh realities of finance

00:41:54were becoming painfully clear.

00:41:56Fortunately, Eyes had only a few downloads initially,

00:41:59and everyone was quite disappointed.

00:42:01Dalmi alone was secretly relieved

00:42:04and cheerfully invited everyone out for beers,

00:42:07getting so drunk that she lost all sense of reality.

00:42:10Life delivered a swift and strong blow

00:42:12to her the next morning.

00:42:14To support the Eyes project,

00:42:16a baseball star who appeared on a talk show

00:42:18passionately promoted it,

00:42:20calling it great news for the visually impaired.

00:42:22After seeing the news,

00:42:24J.P. Yong was so shocked

00:42:25that he fell off his treadmill.

00:42:27Downloads for Eyes surged dramatically,

00:42:30quickly reaching 30,000.

00:42:32Everyone was ecstatic,

00:42:33but Dalmi was utterly stunned

00:42:35and breathlessly said that at this rate,

00:42:38with 30,000 people a day,

00:42:40there would be a billion in a year,

00:42:42wondering where the money would come from.

00:42:44Everyone was jubilant,

00:42:46planning to go out to celebrate,

00:42:48while Dalmi appeared disheartened,

00:42:50feeling like there was nothing left in life to regret.

00:42:53Looking at the list in her hand,

00:42:54the only company they hadn't visited

00:42:56was the Morning Group.

00:42:58But truly, she would rather die

00:42:59than beg them for help again.

00:43:01Deep down, she considered giving up

00:43:03on the Eyes project altogether.

00:43:06At this moment,

00:43:07Do Sen told her that his aunt's vision

00:43:09was deteriorating rapidly,

00:43:11and she would soon be unable to see at all.

00:43:13Dalmi returned home

00:43:15intending to act cheerful as usual,

00:43:17but ultimately,

00:43:18she couldn't hold back her tears

00:43:20and burst into sobs.

00:43:22The next day,

00:43:23Dalmi pleaded with In Jae

00:43:24to take her to meet Woo Jung,

00:43:26even saying that she would kneel

00:43:28and beg her sister if she had to.

00:43:30Upon arriving at Woo Jung's restroom,

00:43:32they were shocked to find Nam Do Sen

00:43:34kneeling in front of Woo Jung,

00:43:36because previously,

00:43:37Do Sen had smashed Woo Jung's nameplate,

00:43:40and now Woo Jung wanted to sue him

00:43:42for property damage

00:43:43and threatened to leave a permanent record

00:43:45if they did not reconcile.

00:43:47Do Sen had come here quietly

00:43:49to ask Chairman Woo for forgiveness,

00:43:51not wanting Dalmi to worry about him.

00:43:54Woo Jung asked Dalmi why she was there,

00:43:56and she replied that she wanted to secure

00:43:59a portion of the company's community fund budget.

00:44:01Woo said that if both of them kneeled and begged,

00:44:04he might reconsider.

00:44:05He just wanted to teach them a lesson

00:44:07they would never forget,

00:44:08to not be so disrespectful in the future.

00:44:11Life is unpredictable after all.

00:44:13After his words,

00:44:14Dalmi took out her phone and played a recording.

00:44:17Previously,

00:44:18when she went to meet Woo Jung,

00:44:20Ji Pyeong had messaged her,

00:44:22advising her to record the conversation

00:44:24as a precaution against any unforeseeable circumstances.

00:44:27So, she had secretly recorded the entire conversation,

00:44:31and now it was proving to be very useful.

00:44:34Hearing the recording,

00:44:35Woo Jung was momentarily stunned and speechless.

00:44:38Outside, many young people had gathered,

00:44:41and quite a few reporters had also shown up.

00:44:44If they got hold of this recording,

00:44:46it would surely lead to many interesting articles

00:44:48being published.

00:44:49Chairman Woo,

00:44:50a supporter of youth dreams,

00:44:52but a man of stark contradictions behind the scenes,

00:44:55was set to make headlines.

00:44:57He had no choice but to mediate with Doosan

00:45:00and use the Morning Group's community fund

00:45:02for situations like this.

00:45:04Furious,

00:45:05Woo Jung gulped down an entire bottle of water,

00:45:08while Nja looked on,

00:45:10a smile of approval spreading across her face.

00:45:13Resigned,

00:45:13he agreed that this year's community quota

00:45:16for Morning Group

00:45:17would be invested in the Samson Tech Eyes project.

00:45:20Ji Pyeong suddenly stopped his car in front of Doosan

00:45:23and handed him a hair tie

00:45:25that Dalmi had accidentally left behind,

00:45:28mentioning he found it while cleaning his car.

00:45:30He asked if Dalmi had ever been in his car,

00:45:33then quickly rolled up his window

00:45:35and drove off with a very satisfied smile.

00:45:38Doosan, confused,

00:45:40rubbed his head and kicked a nearby bicycle.

00:45:42Seeing Doosan's reaction in the rearview mirror,

00:45:45Ji Pyeong smiled triumphantly.

00:45:48However,

00:45:48all this was just Ji Pyeong's fantasy.

00:45:51He soon snapped out of it,

00:45:53stopped the car again in front of Doosan,

00:45:55and handed over Dalmi's hair tie,

00:45:58asking if he was sure it belonged to Dalmi,

00:46:01and not some other girl,

00:46:02wondering why the topic had shifted to this.

00:46:05Unexpectedly,

00:46:06Doosan didn't react as Ji Pyeong had imagined.

00:46:09Disappointed,

00:46:11Ji Pyeong hit the steering wheel in frustration.

00:46:14Unbeknownst to him,

00:46:15his aim was actually achieved.

00:46:17After stepping outside,

00:46:18Doosan quietly stared at the hair tie in his hand

00:46:22to the point of distraction,

00:46:23and even called his close friends

00:46:25to go out drinking with him.

00:46:27Eventually,

00:46:28they drank so much that they passed out,

00:46:30forcing them to call Dalmi

00:46:31to take care of Doosan for the night,

00:46:33because if he went home in that state,

00:46:36his father would surely kick him out.

00:46:38If Doosan stayed over at her place,

00:46:40his father would likely come looking for him.

00:46:42As they stood waiting for a cab,

00:46:44they unexpectedly ran into Ji Pyeong.

00:46:46Afterwards, Ji Pyeong ended up taking both of them home,

00:46:51and inevitably,

00:46:52he was the one who carried Doosan up to his room,

00:46:55ending up exhausted and speechless,

00:46:57further complicated by Doosan vomiting all over him.

00:47:00While everyone was preparing to eat,

00:47:03Dan suddenly came out from the room,

00:47:05confused about why he was there

00:47:07and where his friends were.

00:47:08After learning what had happened,

00:47:10Doosan quickly apologized.

00:47:12Dalmi assured him it was okay,

00:47:14and then asked if he would like to stay the night.

00:47:17Ji Pyeong,

00:47:18still oblivious to much around him,

00:47:20finally realized what was most important to him.

00:47:23The next morning,

00:47:24as everyone was preparing for breakfast,

00:47:26they were surprised to discover

00:47:28that Doosan had quietly left

00:47:30without saying goodbye.

00:47:31At that moment,

00:47:33Dalmi's phone suddenly rang.

00:47:35It was Doosan asking her out on a date,

00:47:37and suggesting they bring his grandmother along.

00:47:40Ji Pyeong,

00:47:41overwhelmed with disappointment,

00:47:42stood in front of Doosan,

00:47:45who quickly dodged around him.

00:47:47Ji Pyeong felt dissatisfied

00:47:48as Doosan did not seem to notice his frustration.

00:47:52It turned out that Doosan had read Dalmi's reply

00:47:55to a comment about the ICE project.

00:47:57He learned of her wish to show her grandmother

00:47:59as many beautiful places as possible

00:48:01before she completely lost her vision.

00:48:04So, Doosan had rented a car

00:48:06to take them to see the beautiful seaside.

00:48:08Dalmi,

00:48:09while reviewing a business plan

00:48:11that Ji Pyeong had edited,

00:48:12suddenly recognized the handwriting.

00:48:15She quickly found letters from 15 years ago

00:48:17and noticed that the handwriting was identical.

00:48:20She also pulled out a draft

00:48:22for a lecture that Ji Pyeong had helped her with,

00:48:24which had handwriting

00:48:25just like the letters from 15 years ago.

00:48:28She remembered that both Ji Pyeong's

00:48:30and Doosan's birthdays were on the same day.

00:48:33The next day,

00:48:34Dalmi wanted to ask Doosan

00:48:36about this coincidence,

00:48:37but when the words reached her lips,

00:48:39she hesitated and ultimately changed the subject.

00:48:42While reporting on the ICE project

00:48:44and seeing Ji Pyeong's familiar handwriting again,

00:48:47Dalmi couldn't help but stare at him.

00:48:50Ji Pyeong thought there was something on his face,

00:48:52seeing that Dalmi was beginning to feel suspicious

00:48:55about both Doosan and Ji Pyeong,

00:48:58which made her grandmother very worried.

00:49:00At that moment, coincidentally,

00:49:02Ji Pyeong also arrived,

00:49:04and just then,

00:49:05the grandmother remembered a letter

00:49:07when Dalmi wanted to find Doosan

00:49:09to pretend to be her boyfriend.

00:49:11The letter she had written to Doosan

00:49:13was in an old birdcage

00:49:14where they used to exchange letters.

00:49:16The grandmother asked Ji Pyeong

00:49:18to retrieve the letter

00:49:19and give it to Doosan

00:49:21so that Dalmi would no longer be suspicious,

00:49:23and neither of them would have to suffer

00:49:25any further hurt.

00:49:27However, Ji Pyeong refused to do so

00:49:29because he realized he had feelings for Dalmi.

00:49:32He wanted to tell Dalmi that the man named Doosan

00:49:35was an imposter.

00:49:36The grandmother was deeply saddened by his refusal,

00:49:39noting that Dalmi and Doosan

00:49:41were now dating and supporting each other well.

00:49:44When the grandmother had asked Ji Pyeong

00:49:46if he liked Dalmi,

00:49:47he had clearly said no.

00:49:49Now, it was too late to change anything.

00:49:52Ji Pyeong, in a burst of anger,

00:49:55shouted at his grandmother,

00:49:56questioning why it couldn't be him

00:49:58when Doosan was acceptable.

00:49:59Returning to his car,

00:50:01although Ji Pyeong felt very sad,

00:50:04he gradually calmed down.

00:50:06He then sent a message to the grandmother

00:50:08apologizing for his earlier outburst of anger

00:50:10and told her that he would immediately retrieve

00:50:13the letter Dalmi had sent to Doosan

00:50:15and deliver it to him.

00:50:17After retrieving the letter,

00:50:18he couldn't help but open it and read it.

00:50:21Just as he looked up after reading,

00:50:23Ji Pyeong was surprised to find Dalmi

00:50:25standing in front of him.

00:50:27It turned out that earlier in the morning,

00:50:29Dalmi had accidentally taken her grandmother's phone.

00:50:32After receiving Ji Pyeong's curious message,

00:50:35she had come here.

00:50:36Although she had long been suspicious,

00:50:39seeing Ji Pyeong at this place

00:50:40still greatly astonished her.

00:50:42At that moment, coincidentally,

00:50:44Doosan called Dalmi,

00:50:46who then asked him if he remembered the address

00:50:48from 15 years ago

00:50:49where they used to exchange letters.

00:50:52Doosan hesitated and couldn't answer her question,

00:50:54which prompted Dalmi to abruptly hang up

00:50:57despite his repeated calls.

00:50:59Finally, he decisively turned off his phone.

00:51:02Dalmi, extremely agitated,

00:51:05begged him to tell her the truth.

00:51:06Ultimately, the author of the letters

00:51:08from 15 years ago

00:51:09could only be revealed by Ji Pyeong

00:51:12telling Dalmi the whole truth.

00:51:14It was her grandmother who had asked him

00:51:16to write those letters,

00:51:18wanting Dalmi to have another friend.

00:51:19The name Nam Doosan was just a name

00:51:22they had seen in the newspaper.

00:51:24And it was this Nam Doosan that he had found

00:51:26and asked to pretend to be the letter writer

00:51:29and attend the dinner party that evening.

00:51:31Dalmi was completely shattered

00:51:33to realize that everything from the beginning

00:51:35was a fabrication, a total lie.

00:51:38At the bus station, Doosan found Dalmi.

00:51:41He candidly admitted everything to her,

00:51:44initially thinking it would just be for one day,

00:51:46but unexpectedly, he had fallen for her.

00:51:49Then, out of greed,

00:51:51he chose not to reveal the truth,

00:51:53and things just kept dragging on day after day.

00:51:56Every time she looked at him,

00:51:58smiled at him, and gave him strength,

00:52:01the thought that she was not seeing the real Doosan

00:52:03made him feel incredibly miserable.

00:52:05He wanted to be the man she believed him to be

00:52:08but couldn't.

00:52:08He felt terrible.

00:52:10But then Dalmi said she didn't even know

00:52:12who the man in her heart really was.

00:52:14After saying this,

00:52:15she turned and walked away from the place,

00:52:17spending the evening holding a baseball

00:52:20and the 15-year-old letter,

00:52:22lost in her thoughts.

00:52:23In this moment,

00:52:24she did not know who she truly loved,

00:52:27which led her to break down in tears.

00:52:29Finally, the day of the presentation arrived.

00:52:32If successful,

00:52:33it could secure a $50 million prize

00:52:35along with investments from countless investors.

00:52:38Failure meant dropping out of the race.

00:52:41In-J's company went first on stage,

00:52:43and her presentation was incredibly successful.

00:52:46In-J stated that she was looking for global partners

00:52:49and hoped to have the opportunity

00:52:50to collaborate with 2STO.

00:52:52However, Alex from 2STO Corporation mentioned

00:52:56that while her presentation was impressive,

00:52:58he was considering another group of candidates.

00:53:01He wanted to hear their presentation

00:53:03before making a decision.

00:53:04Next up was Samson Tech,

00:53:06and Dalmi's presentation was also very successful,

00:53:09achieving an accuracy rate of 92.4%.

00:53:13However, In-J's company had reached

00:53:16a higher accuracy rate of 93.2%,

00:53:19putting them slightly ahead of Samson Tech.

00:53:22Alex was somewhat disappointed,

00:53:24and Doosan stepped forward to explain

00:53:26that accuracy should not be judged solely by numbers,

00:53:29as the application environment was also crucial.

00:53:32They had struck a balance between high accuracy

00:53:34and reducing the application size.

00:53:36The judges then requested In-J's team

00:53:39to return to the stage for both teams

00:53:41to compete once more,

00:53:42using a top-notch controller to test

00:53:44if their applications could function normally.

00:53:47After a series of operations,

00:53:49Samson Tech's program still ran smoothly,

00:53:51while In-J's team's program failed to operate as usual.

00:53:55The seamless performance of Samson Tech's program

00:53:57astounded the judges,

00:53:59and the outcome was beyond their expectations.

00:54:02This time, Samson Tech was victorious,

00:54:04and the team members embraced each other

00:54:06in celebration of their hard-fought win,

00:54:09which was both dramatic and decisive.

00:54:11Soon after, they received a buyout offer from Two Sto,

00:54:14which wanted to acquire their app

00:54:16for a staggering $3 billion,

00:54:18with the condition that they work

00:54:20at the company's headquarters for three years.

00:54:22Hearing this price,

00:54:23everyone momentarily lost their composure.

00:54:26It was a figure they could hardly imagine

00:54:28in their lifetime.

00:54:29After seeing the Two Sto representatives off,

00:54:32they were so exhilarated that they couldn't contain their joy,

00:54:35feeling as if they had reached the pinnacle of their lives,

00:54:38the $3 billion offer,

00:54:40plus the opportunity to work

00:54:42at Two Sto's Silicon Valley headquarters,

00:54:44was immensely tempting.

00:54:46Everyone was filled with aspirations for the future,

00:54:49and began discussing what English name to choose,

00:54:52and whether to enroll in business English classes.

00:54:55However,

00:54:55the thought of losing the name Samson Tech

00:54:57brought a tinge of regret,

00:54:59and spontaneously,

00:55:01they all returned to their old,

00:55:02humble office where it all began.

00:55:05In addition to their nostalgia,

00:55:06they also thought about the future,

00:55:08even planning to start a business together again

00:55:11after three years,

00:55:12and driving autonomous cars together.

00:55:15The next day,

00:55:16after G.P. Yon learned that Alex intended to buy out

00:55:19rather than invest in the project,

00:55:21he rushed to the company

00:55:22to prevent them from signing the contract.

00:55:24Unfortunately,

00:55:26Do San and Dal Mi had already gone to meet with Alex.

00:55:30After G.P. Yon read a copy of the contract,

00:55:33he immediately took out his phone

00:55:34to call Dal Mi to stop them from signing.

00:55:37However,

00:55:38Yong Sal quickly snatched the phone from his hand

00:55:40and deleted Dal Mi's number,

00:55:42telling G.P. Yon not to dampen everyone's spirits anymore.

00:55:46G.P. Yon argued that this was a typical talent acquisition move.

00:55:50They weren't really interested in the company's value,

00:55:52but wanted to hire them as engineers for their company.

00:55:56Once the signing was complete,

00:55:58their team would be disbanded on the spot,

00:56:00with all non-technical members,

00:56:02including Dal Mi and another female colleague,

00:56:05being immediately terminated,

00:56:07and the ICE service would also be completely shut down.

00:56:10Do San was furious,

00:56:12accusing them of fraud.

00:56:13He argued that it wasn't what was written in the contract,

00:56:16and verbal promises had no legal effect.

00:56:19Trying to see the positive side,

00:56:21he noted that the company was merged at a good price,

00:56:25and everyone got money,

00:56:26and a chance to gain experience in Silicon Valley.

00:56:29He decided to think calmly,

00:56:31concluding that actually,

00:56:33nothing bad had happened,

00:56:34and acting impulsively wouldn't solve anything.

00:56:37Once a contract was signed,

00:56:39it couldn't just disappear.

00:56:41According to the contract,

00:56:42they would have to pay $6 billion in damages

00:56:44if they breached the agreement.

00:56:46Hearing that the penalty was up to $6 billion,

00:56:49Dal Mi couldn't help but bow her head in sadness.

00:56:53Do San was at a loss for words,

00:56:55not wanting to hurt Dal Mei,

00:56:57but feeling helpless.

00:56:58G.P. Young approached,

00:57:00and after looking at Dal Mei,

00:57:02slowly said that if the contract was already signed,

00:57:05they should accept the reality.

00:57:06Two Sto had acquired their company for $3 billion,

00:57:10not because of the Eyes project,

00:57:12but for the accuracy of their solutions.

00:57:14These words were hurtful to hear,

00:57:16and an agitated Do San asked G.P. Young to stop speaking.

00:57:20But G.P. Young had no intention of stopping,

00:57:23which is why the two women were fired.

00:57:25At this point, Dal Mei was completely devastated.

00:57:29Just yesterday,

00:57:30they were filled with hope for the future,

00:57:32discussing things like choosing an English name,

00:57:35and signing up for business English classes,

00:57:37and suddenly everything had fallen apart.

00:57:40Do San chased G.P. Young outside,

00:57:43and then rushed at him,

00:57:44grabbing his collar,

00:57:45and the two began to fight.

00:57:47After the scuffle,

00:57:49G.P. Young said they should give up on Eyes

00:57:51and apply their technology to something more profitable.

00:57:54Unexpectedly,

00:57:55Dan pleaded with G.P. Young for help,

00:57:57because developing the Eyes project

00:57:59was for Dal Mei's grandmother.

00:58:01Her vision was failing,

00:58:03and she wouldn't be able to see much longer.

00:58:05G.P. Young was stunned and hurried

00:58:07to the grandmother's hot dog shop.

00:58:09Seeing her struggle to even read a receipt

00:58:11and calculate the total money,

00:58:14he couldn't hold back his tears.

00:58:16After she had finished calculating,

00:58:18he quickly wiped away his tears,

00:58:20forced a smile,

00:58:21and approached her.

00:58:22Just as Dal Mei got home,

00:58:24coincidentally,

00:58:25she saw G.P. Young leaving.

00:58:27Dal Mei invited G.P. Young to a late-night meal,

00:58:30hoping he could offer her some advice

00:58:32on what to do next.

00:58:34G.P. Young warned that his words

00:58:35might be hard to hear.

00:58:37He stated that the contract itself had no issues

00:58:40and that their group was up against two stow

00:58:42like throwing eggs against rocks.

00:58:44Therefore,

00:58:45his advice was for them to accept reality

00:58:47and turn their adversary into an ally.

00:58:50Dal Mei was at a loss for words,

00:58:53realizing they had no better options left.

00:58:55Meanwhile,

00:58:56Doosan's mother asked him

00:58:57how he and Dal Mei were doing.

00:58:59But since Dal Mei found out

00:59:01that G.P. Young was the real author of the letters,

00:59:04Doosan couldn't be sure anymore.

00:59:06He wanted to know

00:59:07if perhaps Dal Mei had given him a hint

00:59:09that he had missed.

00:59:11Coincidentally,

00:59:12at that moment,

00:59:13Dal Mei texted him asking

00:59:14if he was asleep yet.

00:59:16As Doosan was about to reply

00:59:18that he hadn't slept

00:59:19and it was still early,

00:59:21his mother advised him

00:59:22to delete the message

00:59:23and take off his jacket.

00:59:25Then she playfully scolded him,

00:59:27suggesting that Dal Mei's message

00:59:29was her way of hinting

00:59:30that he should call her back.

00:59:31Indeed,

00:59:32their phone call started

00:59:33with discussing

00:59:34his grandmother's medications

00:59:35and then it went

00:59:36from one topic to another,

00:59:38neither wanting to hang up

00:59:39until dawn.

00:59:40The next morning,

00:59:42Doosan lingered outside Dal Mei's house,

00:59:44planning an accidental meeting

00:59:46between them.

00:59:47A few days earlier,

00:59:48Dal Mei had told Doosan

00:59:50that she was still struggling

00:59:51to clarify things

00:59:52between him

00:59:53and Ji Piyong,

00:59:54which caused her much pain.

00:59:56She suggested

00:59:57that they shouldn't meet alone

00:59:58for a while,

00:59:59so Doosan had to pretend

01:00:01to bump into her by chance.

01:00:02When Dal Mei approached

01:00:04to say hello,

01:00:05Doosan feigned surprise,

01:00:07mentioning that he had heard

01:00:08about a good English test

01:00:09preparation school nearby

01:00:11and decided to check it out,

01:00:13only to run into her unexpectedly.

01:00:16Dal Mei smiled subtly

01:00:17as if she could see

01:00:18through Doosan's little ploy.

01:00:20However,

01:00:21they had no idea

01:00:22how quickly things would change.

01:00:24When they returned to the company,

01:00:26their team had been

01:00:26suddenly disbanded.

01:00:28Dal Mei and her female colleague

01:00:30had been fired.

01:00:31The next morning,

01:00:32Dal Mei wore a new dress

01:00:34and meticulously did her makeup,

01:00:36arriving at Doosan's house early

01:00:38because it was his birthday.

01:00:40They had previously planned

01:00:41to meet that day,

01:00:42but unexpectedly,

01:00:44Doosan had completely forgotten

01:00:45his own birthday.

01:00:47Indeed,

01:00:48Doosan had been preoccupied

01:00:49with resolving

01:00:50the contract issue lately,

01:00:51telling Dal Mei

01:00:53not to worry too much about it.

01:00:55Even on the bus,

01:00:56Doosan was absorbed

01:00:57in a book

01:00:58about business litigation,

01:00:59discussing a similar case

01:01:01with Dal Mei,

01:01:02though she showed

01:01:03little interest

01:01:03in such topics.

01:01:05Dal Mei had taken Doosan

01:01:06to an upscale

01:01:07French restaurant,

01:01:08but he was still unable

01:01:09to let go

01:01:10of his unfinished work,

01:01:12consumed with thoughts of her,

01:01:13and the desire

01:01:14to cancel the contract

01:01:15with Tusto.

01:01:16Dal Mei mentioned

01:01:17that the odds

01:01:18of encountering

01:01:18a computer genius

01:01:19like him

01:01:20were probably

01:01:211 in 1,000.

01:01:22With someone

01:01:23as capable

01:01:23as Alex

01:01:24acknowledging his talent,

01:01:26those odds

01:01:26would be more like

01:01:271 in 10 million,

01:01:29making it

01:01:29an extremely low probability.

01:01:31She pointed out

01:01:32that many geniuses

01:01:33get buried

01:01:34because they don't

01:01:34fit into such ratios,

01:01:36much like he was before.

01:01:38Doosan didn't want

01:01:39to continue listening to her.

01:01:40He knew what Dal Mei

01:01:41was trying to say

01:01:42and quickly opened

01:01:43his book again.

01:01:45Dal Mei then reached over

01:01:46to close the book,

01:01:47continuing her point

01:01:48that the likelihood

01:01:49was even lower

01:01:50than winning the lottery,

01:01:51and missing out

01:01:52on such an opportunity

01:01:53would truly be a pity.

01:01:55Doosan finally

01:01:56couldn't hold back anymore,

01:01:58his actions akin

01:01:58to the slim odds

01:02:00of two people

01:02:00meeting in a lifetime.

01:02:02After speaking,

01:02:03he grabbed a book

01:02:04and left first.

01:02:05Dal Mei chased after him,

01:02:07questioning why

01:02:08he couldn't understand

01:02:09her intentions.

01:02:10He knew,

01:02:11but he didn't want to go.

01:02:12He didn't want to leave

01:02:13behind the eyes or her.

01:02:14He only wanted to stay,

01:02:17whether it was

01:02:17at the Sandbox Venture

01:02:18Capital headquarters

01:02:19or in the old,

01:02:20cramped attic office.

01:02:22He liked it there.

01:02:23After he finished speaking,

01:02:25he turned and walked away.

01:02:27Following this,

01:02:28Dal Mei unleashed

01:02:29all her emotions,

01:02:30feeling deeply embarrassed

01:02:32that the talented figure

01:02:33she admired

01:02:33had chosen him over her.

01:02:35She wondered

01:02:36if he was intentionally

01:02:37making her voice

01:02:38this issue.

01:02:39Doosan continued

01:02:40to be obstinate,

01:02:41refusing to understand

01:02:42or listen.

01:02:43Left with no other option,

01:02:45Dal Mei revealed

01:02:46her final move

01:02:47by telling him

01:02:48that he was not

01:02:49the Doosan

01:02:49who had written

01:02:50those letters to her.

01:02:51She also was not

01:02:52his dream.

01:02:53And while Dal Mei

01:02:54and NJ,

01:02:56the sisters,

01:02:56always had a silent rivalry

01:02:58whenever they met,

01:03:00this time Dal Mei

01:03:01surprisingly applied

01:03:02for a job

01:03:02at her sister's company.

01:03:04Seeing Dal Mei

01:03:05arrive for the interview,

01:03:06all of NJ's colleagues

01:03:08were stunned.

01:03:09They all curiously

01:03:10stared at Dal Mei,

01:03:11and NJ asked her

01:03:13what she was doing there.

01:03:14Without hesitating,

01:03:16Dal Mei placed her CV

01:03:17on the table,

01:03:18sat down,

01:03:19and declared clearly

01:03:20that she was there

01:03:21to apply for a job.

01:03:22NJ,

01:03:23taking her time,

01:03:24sat down without

01:03:25saying a word,

01:03:27curious to see

01:03:27what her sister

01:03:28was up to.

01:03:29She asked Dal Mei

01:03:30to explain why she

01:03:31wanted to apply

01:03:32to her company.

01:03:33Upon the director's inquiry,

01:03:35the others settled down.

01:03:36Dal Mei shared

01:03:37that the presentation

01:03:38that day

01:03:38and the director's words

01:03:40had made a strong

01:03:41impression on her.

01:03:42NJ had said

01:03:43that her goal

01:03:44was to make the world

01:03:45a better,

01:03:45more advanced place,

01:03:47echoing what their father

01:03:48had said 15 years earlier.

01:03:50He had told Dal Mei

01:03:51that their father

01:03:52didn't quit his job

01:03:53just because he was

01:03:54scolded by his boss,

01:03:55but because he was

01:03:56preparing for a better world,

01:03:58which made Dal Mei realize

01:03:59she might share

01:04:00the same goal

01:04:01as the director.

01:04:02Shortly after,

01:04:03Dal Mei was hired

01:04:04as the deputy director

01:04:06of NJ's company.

01:04:07Not long after,

01:04:08they established

01:04:09a separate subsidiary

01:04:10called Chum Mayong Company,

01:04:13with Dal Mei

01:04:13taking the helm

01:04:14as director

01:04:15and handling

01:04:16the new company's

01:04:17business operations.

01:04:18Meanwhile,

01:04:19across the ocean,

01:04:20Doosan's team

01:04:21and their colleagues

01:04:22were responsible

01:04:23for the smart city

01:04:24project of 2STO

01:04:25and had achieved

01:04:26significant success.

01:04:28G.P.Yong was promoted

01:04:29from team leader

01:04:30to director.

01:04:31Three years later,

01:04:32during the mid-autumn festival,

01:04:34Dal Mei invited G.P.Yong

01:04:36to her home for dinner

01:04:37and asked him to come

01:04:38a bit earlier

01:04:39to help out.

01:04:40That evening,

01:04:41the four of them

01:04:41felt like a happy family,

01:04:43joyfully making mooncakes,

01:04:45cooking together,

01:04:46and playing card games.

01:04:48While preparing skewers,

01:04:49G.P.Yong was so tired

01:04:51that he dozed off,

01:04:52prompting Dal Mei

01:04:53to cover him

01:04:54with a blanket.

01:04:55When her grandmother

01:04:56came out

01:04:56from another room,

01:04:57Dal Mei quickly signaled her

01:04:59to keep her voice down.

01:05:00G.P.Yong,

01:05:02observing all that was happening,

01:05:04continued to feign sleep

01:05:05with a content smile

01:05:06on his face.

01:05:07In the middle of the night,

01:05:08when Dal Mei woke up,

01:05:10she discovered

01:05:11that G.P.Yong

01:05:12had already woken up

01:05:13and was still

01:05:14preparing skewers.

01:05:15She sat down

01:05:16next to him,

01:05:17and G.P.Yong

01:05:17expressed a desire

01:05:19to help his grandmother

01:05:20open a hot dog shop,

01:05:21but Dal Mei

01:05:22declined his offer.

01:05:24She felt it wasn't

01:05:24the right time yet,

01:05:26and if they were

01:05:27to open it,

01:05:27she wanted to be the one

01:05:29to help her grandmother

01:05:30do so.

01:05:30G.P.Yong

01:05:31expressed his hope

01:05:32that he would not

01:05:33make her uncomfortable,

01:05:35and that whenever

01:05:35she faced difficulties

01:05:36or felt exhausted,

01:05:38he would be the first

01:05:39person she thought of.

01:05:41G.P.Yong felt

01:05:42that his relationship

01:05:43with Dal Mei

01:05:43had progressed further,

01:05:45and he decided

01:05:46to buy her a gift.

01:05:47Holding the gift,

01:05:48he went to an empty place

01:05:50to rehearse

01:05:50how to present it,

01:05:51coming up with

01:05:52countless reasons

01:05:53and excuses,

01:05:54and finally mustered

01:05:55the courage

01:05:56to step out.

01:05:57On his way

01:05:58to meet Dal Mei,

01:05:59G.P.Yong

01:06:00unexpectedly ran

01:06:01into Doosan

01:06:02in the lobby.

01:06:03He asked Doosan

01:06:04why he was there,

01:06:05and after learning

01:06:06that Doosan

01:06:07was on leave

01:06:07and would soon

01:06:08return to the U.S.,

01:06:10G.P.Yong

01:06:11breathed a sigh

01:06:12of relief

01:06:12before the two

01:06:13of them started chatting.

01:06:15Noticing the gift box

01:06:16in G.P.Yong's hand,

01:06:17Doosan curiously

01:06:18asked who it was for.

01:06:20Caught momentarily

01:06:21off guard,

01:06:22G.P.Yong

01:06:23hesitated briefly

01:06:24before deciding

01:06:25to place the gift box

01:06:26on the table,

01:06:27pretending there was

01:06:28something unusual

01:06:28about his relationship

01:06:30with Dal Mai.

01:06:31He then mentioned

01:06:31that he was preparing

01:06:32to give the gift

01:06:33to Dal Mai.

01:06:35Upon hearing this,

01:06:36Doosan felt

01:06:37very disappointed,

01:06:38but pretended

01:06:39as if nothing

01:06:40was amiss.

01:06:41Seeing Doosan's reaction,

01:06:43G.P.Yong stood up

01:06:44and purposely invited

01:06:46Doosan to meet

01:06:46Dal Mai with him.

01:06:48Doosan also got up,

01:06:50pretending he had

01:06:50a prior engagement

01:06:51and couldn't join

01:06:52this time.

01:06:53Accepting this,

01:06:55G.P.Yong turned

01:06:56and left,

01:06:57leaving Doosan alone

01:06:58to brood over

01:06:59his sadness.

01:07:00Dal Mai stepped

01:07:01out of the elevator

01:07:02just as Doosan

01:07:03happened to pass

01:07:04by in front of her.

01:07:05By the time

01:07:06Dal Mai reacted,

01:07:07he was already

01:07:08far away.

01:07:09She hurriedly chased

01:07:10after Doosan.

01:07:12After some searching,

01:07:13Dal Mai once again

01:07:14spotted the familiar

01:07:15figure and managed

01:07:17to catch up.

01:07:17But in her attempt

01:07:18to grab him,

01:07:19she ended up

01:07:20spilling coffee

01:07:21all over herself,

01:07:22and the person

01:07:23turned out

01:07:24not to be Doosan.

01:07:25Caught in such

01:07:26a miserable situation,

01:07:27Dal Mai was

01:07:28momentarily stunned

01:07:29and could only

01:07:30keep apologizing

01:07:31to the stranger.

01:07:32Just then,

01:07:33her phone rang abruptly.

01:07:35She answered the call

01:07:36and,

01:07:37disregarding her

01:07:38messy clothes,

01:07:39rushed back

01:07:39to the company.

01:07:40It turned out

01:07:41their company

01:07:41had just been

01:07:42attacked by a virus

01:07:43and all their documents

01:07:45had been encrypted.

01:07:46The attackers

01:07:47demanded a ransom

01:07:48of $300 million

01:07:49within 12 hours.

01:07:51Otherwise,

01:07:51they threatened

01:07:52to delete

01:07:52the decryption key,

01:07:54which would result

01:07:55in the loss

01:07:55of all company data,

01:07:57including all data

01:07:58related to their

01:07:59autonomous vehicle project,

01:08:00rendering all

01:08:01their investments useless.

01:08:03They reported

01:08:04the incident

01:08:04to the police,

01:08:05but it was ineffective.

01:08:07The police could not

01:08:07resolve the issue

01:08:08immediately.

01:08:09The company's

01:08:10tech departments

01:08:11said that the

01:08:11encryption was complex

01:08:12and it might take

01:08:14days to break it.

01:08:15Dal Mai proposed

01:08:16decisively paying

01:08:17the $300 million

01:08:18to the hackers

01:08:19to retrieve

01:08:20the decryption key

01:08:21and save all the data.

01:08:22After all,

01:08:24the development

01:08:24of their algorithm

01:08:25and car retrofitting

01:08:26had already cost

01:08:27$2 billion,

01:08:29making $300 million

01:08:30relatively inexpensive.

01:08:32However,

01:08:33all of the company's

01:08:34funds had been

01:08:35invested in new

01:08:36business operations,

01:08:37leaving them

01:08:38momentarily unable

01:08:39to gather

01:08:39such a substantial

01:08:40amount of cash.

01:08:42Dal Mai,

01:08:42feeling like she

01:08:43was sitting on

01:08:44hot coals,

01:08:45kept making phone

01:08:46calls one after

01:08:47another,

01:08:47but without any

01:08:48success.

01:08:49As she scrolled

01:08:50through her phone

01:08:51contacts,

01:08:52she suddenly saw

01:08:52Ji Pyeong's number.

01:08:54She remembered

01:08:55his words,

01:08:56hoping she would

01:08:56think of him first

01:08:57whenever she faced

01:08:58difficulties.

01:08:59Hesitating for a

01:09:00moment and about

01:09:01to make the call,

01:09:03her phone

01:09:03unexpectedly rang.

01:09:05It was Do San

01:09:06on the line,

01:09:07who had been

01:09:07informed by their

01:09:08mutual friend Saha

01:09:09that Dal Mai

01:09:10was seeking help.

01:09:11Hearing Do San's

01:09:12voice again,

01:09:13Dal Mai was

01:09:14momentarily stunned

01:09:15and unable to speak.

01:09:16After a long pause,

01:09:18she couldn't hold

01:09:18back her tears

01:09:19anymore.

01:09:20Do San comforted

01:09:21her,

01:09:22assuring her not

01:09:22to worry,

01:09:23and that he would

01:09:24be there in 20

01:09:25minutes.

01:09:26True to his word,

01:09:27Do San soon appeared

01:09:29and immediately

01:09:29plugged in a USB

01:09:30drive and began

01:09:32working.

01:09:33The company's two

01:09:33technical staff

01:09:34members,

01:09:35feeling very

01:09:36disgruntled,

01:09:37angrily left the

01:09:38room.

01:09:38Shortly after,

01:09:39Chul San appeared,

01:09:40followed by Yong Sal.

01:09:42The team worked

01:09:43seamlessly together

01:09:44and quickly found

01:09:45the decryption key,

01:09:46restoring all the

01:09:47data.

01:09:48Seeing the problem

01:09:49resolved,

01:09:50Dal Mai finally

01:09:51breathed a sigh of

01:09:52relief,

01:09:52and exhausted,

01:09:54collapsed.

01:09:55Do San quickly

01:09:55picked her up

01:09:56and carried her

01:09:57to the rest area,

01:09:58while the others

01:09:59discreetly left

01:10:00the room.

01:10:01Learning that Do San

01:10:02was only on leave

01:10:03and would be

01:10:03returning to the

01:10:04U.S. in a week,

01:10:06Dal Mai felt a

01:10:07deep sense of

01:10:07disappointment.

01:10:08She looked down

01:10:09at her coffee-stained

01:10:10clothes, noticing a

01:10:12button had come off

01:10:12one of the sleeves.

01:10:14Turning her head

01:10:15away, she frowned.

01:10:16Her appearance

01:10:17truly wretched.

01:10:18The next morning,

01:10:20Ji Piyong returned

01:10:21to Sandbox and only

01:10:22then learned that

01:10:23Dal Mai's company

01:10:24had been attacked

01:10:25by hackers.

01:10:26He rushed to her

01:10:27office to check on

01:10:28her current situation.

01:10:29Hearing from Dal Mai

01:10:30that Do San and

01:10:31his friends had come

01:10:32to assist,

01:10:33resolving the issue,

01:10:35Ji Piyong glanced

01:10:36at Do San's coat

01:10:37lying nearby,

01:10:38and with a hint of

01:10:39disappointment remarked

01:10:40how fortunate it was.

01:10:42He then asked

01:10:43Dal Mai,

01:10:43if she was alright,

01:10:45showing his concern

01:10:46for her well-being.

01:10:47Dal Mai confided

01:10:48to Ji Piyong

01:10:49that she felt

01:10:50deeply disappointed

01:10:51in herself

01:10:52for appearing

01:10:53so disheveled

01:10:54and distressed

01:10:54in front of Do San,

01:10:56and she was

01:10:56incredibly embarrassed

01:10:57about crying.

01:10:59She pleaded

01:10:59with Ji Piyong

01:11:00not to tell anyone

01:11:01about her tears.

01:11:03Ji Piyong responded

01:11:04by pulling the blinds

01:11:05down,

01:11:06reassuring her

01:11:07to take her time

01:11:07to calm down

01:11:08and remember

01:11:09to lock the door

01:11:10after he left.

01:11:11Meanwhile,

01:11:12Do San and his friends

01:11:13were having breakfast,

01:11:15and after some discussion,

01:11:16they decided to stay in Korea

01:11:18to further their careers.

01:11:19Do San hurried

01:11:20to Dal Mai's office

01:11:21to retrieve his jacket

01:11:23and to inform her

01:11:24of his decision.

01:11:25As he exited the elevator,

01:11:27he unexpectedly

01:11:28encountered Ji Piyong.

01:11:30Ji Piyong,

01:11:31wanting a moment

01:11:32with Do San,

01:11:33asked him

01:11:33if he was going

01:11:34to see Dal Mai.

01:11:35Surprised by the question,

01:11:37Do San asked

01:11:38how Ji Piyong knew about it,

01:11:40to which Ji Piyong,

01:11:41in a moment of pretense,

01:11:43claimed he had become

01:11:44Dal Mai's boyfriend.

01:11:45After Do San left,

01:11:47Ji Piyong felt remorseful

01:11:48about his deceit.

01:11:50He called Dal Mai

01:11:51to clarify the situation,

01:11:53admitting that he had said

01:11:54something to Do San

01:11:55that might have caused

01:11:56a misunderstanding.

01:11:57He suggested

01:11:58that if Dal Mai

01:11:59went outside,

01:12:00she might still find Do San.

01:12:02However,

01:12:02Dal Mai declined,

01:12:04reflecting on the fact

01:12:05that Do San

01:12:06would eventually return

01:12:07to the U.S. shortly after.

01:12:09Do San tried

01:12:09calling her again.

01:12:11Thinking about

01:12:11his imminent departure

01:12:12and looking at

01:12:13her disheveled state,

01:12:14Dal Mai firmly

01:12:15decided not to answer.

01:12:17Afterward,

01:12:18Ji even turned

01:12:19her phone off,

01:12:20and when Do San

01:12:20called again,

01:12:22hearing the notification

01:12:23that the phone was off,

01:12:24he felt a pang of sadness

01:12:26as his flicker of hope

01:12:27was extinguished.

01:12:28Upon returning home,

01:12:30Do San sat staring

01:12:31at a basketball

01:12:32for a long time,

01:12:33reminiscing about

01:12:34their first meeting,

01:12:35and eventually,

01:12:36the basketball,

01:12:38a symbol of their love,

01:12:39was thrown into the trash

01:12:41as if to put an end

01:12:42to everything.

01:12:43However,

01:12:44despite Dal Mai's

01:12:45harsh refusal yesterday,

01:12:47today she had come

01:12:47to his door seeking help,

01:12:49struggling to reach

01:12:50the top of the building.

01:12:51She found many investors there,

01:12:53drawn by their reputation.

01:12:55Dal Mai went to Do San's office

01:12:57only to be stopped

01:12:58by others who instructed her

01:13:00to wait in line.

01:13:01With no other option,

01:13:02she tried calling Do San,

01:13:04but he directly rejected

01:13:05her calls

01:13:06and did not respond

01:13:07to her messages.

01:13:09After all the investors

01:13:10had left,

01:13:11her call once again

01:13:12rang through.

01:13:13Do San hesitated

01:13:14for a moment before

01:13:15ultimately turning off

01:13:16his phone,

01:13:17only to find Dal Mai

01:13:19standing in front

01:13:19of his door.

01:13:20The atmosphere

01:13:21turned awkward

01:13:22as he asked her

01:13:22why she was there.

01:13:24Dal Mai explained

01:13:25that she came

01:13:26to invite them

01:13:27to work with her.

01:13:27Do San asked

01:13:28his two friends

01:13:29to leave before

01:13:30telling Dal Mai

01:13:31that he had been

01:13:32deeply hurt by her words

01:13:33three years ago

01:13:34when she wanted

01:13:35to break up.

01:13:36It had taken him

01:13:37three years

01:13:37to come to terms

01:13:38with it

01:13:39and he did not want

01:13:40to continue

01:13:40like this anymore.

01:13:42He expressed

01:13:42that if there was

01:13:43no longer any fate

01:13:44between them,

01:13:45it would be better

01:13:46not to see each other again.

01:13:48He did not want

01:13:49to see her anymore.

01:13:50Dal Mai responded

01:13:51that now

01:13:52she was the one

01:13:53feeling sad

01:13:54hearing these words

01:13:55and asked if he felt

01:13:56the same way back then,

01:13:58apologizing to him.

01:13:59A few days earlier,

01:14:00several senior developers

01:14:02from her company

01:14:02had been lured away

01:14:04by another company.

01:14:05In Jae had instructed

01:14:06Dal Mai to invite Do San

01:14:08and his group

01:14:09to join them.

01:14:10At that moment,

01:14:11Dal Mai learned

01:14:12that they wanted

01:14:12to stay in Korea,

01:14:14but she disagreed,

01:14:15thinking it would

01:14:16delay them.

01:14:17In Jae became furious,

01:14:19questioning if Dal Mai

01:14:20even qualified

01:14:20to be a director,

01:14:22accusing her

01:14:23of delaying their progress.

01:14:24In Jae gave her sister

01:14:26two options,

01:14:27either bring Do San

01:14:28and his group back

01:14:29or leave the company herself.

01:14:31Dal Mai was furious,

01:14:33feeling threatened

01:14:33by her sister.

01:14:35Even her mother

01:14:35and grandmother

01:14:36did not support her,

01:14:37with her mother

01:14:38expressing disappointment

01:14:39in the company's performance

01:14:41and her grandmother

01:14:42comparing her approach

01:14:43to questioning customers

01:14:44why they would eat

01:14:45a bad hot dog.

01:14:47As a director,

01:14:48thinking in such a way,

01:14:49it was strange

01:14:50that the company

01:14:50could progress at all.

01:14:52Therefore,

01:14:53Dal Mai reluctantly

01:14:54came to find Do San,

01:14:55only to be bluntly

01:14:56rejected by him

01:14:57without even a chance

01:14:59to speak.

01:15:00Reflecting on Do San's words,

01:15:02Dal Mai felt nearly

01:15:03driven to madness.

01:15:04That evening,

01:15:05Do San returned home

01:15:07to find his father

01:15:08carefully placing

01:15:08a cherished baseball

01:15:10into a transparent box,

01:15:12remarking that

01:15:12such valuable things

01:15:13should be kept with care.

01:15:15The next day,

01:15:16trying to forget Dal Mai,

01:15:18Do San decided to follow

01:15:19in the footsteps

01:15:20of his younger father.

01:15:21He rode his bike

01:15:22to the house

01:15:23of his deceased uncle,

01:15:24seeking to alleviate

01:15:25his heartache

01:15:26through physical exhaustion.

01:15:27After a grueling ride,

01:15:29he arrived and collapsed

01:15:31from fatigue

01:15:31on a bench

01:15:32outside the house.

01:15:33Surprisingly,

01:15:34the physical tiredness

01:15:35made the events

01:15:36in his mind

01:15:37seem clearer

01:15:37rather than muddled.

01:15:39He didn't realize

01:15:40when he dozed off,

01:15:41and by the time

01:15:42he woke up,

01:15:43it was already dark.

01:15:44At that moment,

01:15:46Dal Mai was limping

01:15:47towards him.

01:15:48Initially thinking

01:15:48he was hallucinating

01:15:49due to hunger,

01:15:51Do San drank some water,

01:15:53but then realized

01:15:53it was indeed Dal Mai.

01:15:55Standing up,

01:15:56he attempted

01:15:57to leave the place.

01:15:58Dal Mai quickly grabbed him,

01:16:00asking where he thought

01:16:01he was going

01:16:01so late at night

01:16:02and if he had lost his mind.

01:16:05Eventually,

01:16:06they returned together.

01:16:07Back at the lobby,

01:16:08Ji Pyeong

01:16:09and Do San ran

01:16:10into each other.

01:16:12Ji Pyeong

01:16:12called out to Do San,

01:16:14wanting to retrieve

01:16:15some old letters from him.

01:16:16Though reluctant,

01:16:18Do San eventually agreed.

01:16:20Ji Pyeong

01:16:20also insisted

01:16:21on returning

01:16:22the money tree plant

01:16:23that Dal Mai

01:16:23had given to Do San

01:16:25as a gift.

01:16:26Returning home,

01:16:27Do San sorted

01:16:28through the old letters

01:16:29and found one addressed.

01:16:31To the one I love,

01:16:32overcome by curiosity,

01:16:34he opened

01:16:34and read the letter.

01:16:36Just then,

01:16:37Ji Pyeong's phone call

01:16:38came through,

01:16:39inquiring where

01:16:40they would meet.

01:16:41Do San stated

01:16:42he no longer needed

01:16:43the money tree,

01:16:44suggesting they forget

01:16:45everything happened.

01:16:47He abruptly hung up

01:16:48and despite

01:16:49Ji Pyeong's

01:16:50continued calls,

01:16:51Do San no longer answered.

01:16:53Unexpectedly,

01:16:54Ji Pyeong showed up

01:16:55at Do San's house,

01:16:57holding the money tree plant.

01:16:59Half drunk

01:16:59and half sober,

01:17:00Do San admitted

01:17:01his admiration

01:17:02for Ji Pyeong.

01:17:03He had once asked

01:17:04Dal Mai

01:17:05why she liked

01:17:06Ji Pyeong,

01:17:07to which she replied

01:17:08that it was because

01:17:09Ji Pyeong was her first love

01:17:11and the letters he wrote

01:17:12had comforted her

01:17:13for a long time.

01:17:14Reflecting on Dal Mai's

01:17:16past affection

01:17:16for Ji Pyeong,

01:17:18Do San realized

01:17:19that despite his efforts

01:17:20to win her over

01:17:21with his unique attributes,

01:17:23like the size

01:17:24and beauty of his hands,

01:17:25which she had once admired,

01:17:27it still wasn't enough.

01:17:29Ji Pyeong,

01:17:30in a moment of clarity,

01:17:31challenged Do San

01:17:32to let go

01:17:33of his insecurities

01:17:34and improve

01:17:35his self-esteem,

01:17:36implying that

01:17:37once Do San recognized

01:17:38who Dal Mai truly liked,

01:17:40he could win her over

01:17:41by the strength

01:17:42of their shared memory.

01:17:43The next morning,

01:17:44Ji Pyeong woke up

01:17:46at Do San's house,

01:17:47feeling slightly disoriented.

01:17:49As he stepped out

01:17:50of the room,

01:17:51he overheard Do San's mother

01:17:52asking whether

01:17:53to add chili

01:17:54to the fish soup,

01:17:55hinting at Ji Pyeong's

01:17:56preference for spicy food.

01:17:58Do San joked

01:17:59about adding soy sauce instead,

01:18:01knowing Ji Pyeong liked it,

01:18:03and even offered

01:18:04to pack some

01:18:04for him to take home.

01:18:06Ji Pyeong quietly returned

01:18:07to his room

01:18:08without a word.

01:18:09When Do San later

01:18:10invited him

01:18:11to have some hangover soup,

01:18:13Ji Pyeong,

01:18:14now dressed and composed,

01:18:16abruptly announced

01:18:17he would take the letters

01:18:18and the plant and leave.

01:18:20He expressed his frustration,

01:18:22admitting that

01:18:22even if he took everything,

01:18:24he could never match up

01:18:25to Do San

01:18:26due to his slow understanding

01:18:27of emotional subtleties,

01:18:29which Ji Pyeong

01:18:30had previously

01:18:31feigned ignorance about.

01:18:32However,

01:18:33Ji Pyeong urged Do San

01:18:35to let go of his feelings

01:18:36of inferiority

01:18:37and to recognize

01:18:38his own worth.

01:18:39By understanding

01:18:40that Dal Mai's affection

01:18:41wasn't just about

01:18:42physical attributes

01:18:43or past kindness,

01:18:45but also about

01:18:46who she genuinely

01:18:47connected with,

01:18:48Do San might finally

01:18:49see the truth.

01:18:50Inspired by Ji Pyeong's words,

01:18:53Do San rushed

01:18:53to find Dal Mai

01:18:54and once again

01:18:56asked her

01:18:56why she liked him.

01:18:57Dal Mai responded

01:18:58simply that liking someone

01:19:00doesn't always require

01:19:01a reason.

01:19:02It was just because

01:19:03it was him.

01:19:04Meanwhile,

01:19:05Ji Pyeong,

01:19:06encountering Dal Mai

01:19:07in the elevator,

01:19:08although feeling awkward,

01:19:10chose not to avoid her

01:19:11any longer.

01:19:12He confessed

01:19:13that although

01:19:14he had read her letters,

01:19:15he had never sought her out

01:19:16in the past 15 years.

01:19:18The day Do San finished

01:19:19reading those letters,

01:19:21he had taken the initiative

01:19:22to find her,

01:19:23proving that the Do San

01:19:24in the letters

01:19:25was not him.

01:19:26He reassured her

01:19:27that there was no need

01:19:28for guilt or self-blame.

01:19:30In another development,

01:19:31In Jae,

01:19:32seeking advice on fundraising,

01:19:34approached a representative

01:19:35from Sandbox,

01:19:36only to be told

01:19:37unexpectedly

01:19:38that this time

01:19:39they could not assist.

01:19:41After deciding

01:19:41to invest

01:19:42in Chong Yeung Company,

01:19:44In Jae approached

01:19:45Ji Pyeong

01:19:45to convey her belief

01:19:47in the company's potential,

01:19:48asserting that

01:19:49it was even higher

01:19:50than they had initially thought

01:19:51and that it would soon

01:19:52achieve significant success.

01:19:54She urged Ji Pyeong

01:19:55to handle the matter

01:19:56as soon as possible.

01:19:58Ji Pyeong

01:19:58was inclined to refuse

01:20:00but found himself

01:20:00unable to do so

01:20:02and instead arranged

01:20:03to meet with Do San.

01:20:04He didn't hold much hope,

01:20:06thinking Do San

01:20:07would surely refuse

01:20:08as he had done previously.

01:20:10To Ji Pyeong's surprise,

01:20:12Do San accepted

01:20:12the proposal directly.

01:20:14When Ji Pyeong asked

01:20:15why Do San

01:20:16had refused him previously

01:20:17but agreed this time,

01:20:19Do San explained

01:20:20that the previous time,

01:20:22Ji Pyeong's approach

01:20:23felt like it was

01:20:24out of pity for them.

01:20:25But this time,

01:20:26he recognized their company

01:20:27as a valuable

01:20:28investment opportunity.

01:20:30With that,

01:20:31Do San extended his hand

01:20:32to Ji Pyeong

01:20:33and they successfully

01:20:34agreed to collaborate.

01:20:36Thank you for following

01:20:37the episode
