(Episode 39)
What's wrong?
Are you uncomfortable because I'm taking it too fast?
Can we...
slow down a little?
Holding hands is too fast for her?
Wasn't she the one who closed her eyes first?
You took my hand a second ago and now you're just letting it go?
You said it was uncomfortable...
to hold hands.
What?
No, I'm not talking about your hands.
Your legs are the issue.
I want to walk side by side,
but I have to jog in order to catch up with you.
Your legs are long,
but mine aren't.
Oh, I see.
It's that house.
- It's been a year. - You two...
have been seeing each other for a year?
Goodness, there you go again.
That's not it.
We've known each other for a year.
We're just acquaintances.
So much for just being acquaintances.
They're dating.
You should head inside.
I'll see you go first.
Goodnight.
Bye.
I'll see you.
Hold on.
Well,
I'm working the night shift tomorrow,
and I'm off-duty the day after that.
The day after that is my day off,
and I'll probably be working the daytime shift the next day.
I'll call you.
It's cold outside. Cut it out already.
- Mom! - Stop staring.
There won't be anything left to see.
You said you weren't dating.
As if.
You seemed head over heels for each other.
Well,
that's not it.
That's not it?
Whatever!
What?
Honey...
Why are you only in that so late at night?
At least wear a coat or something.
Right, it is chilly outside.
I don't know why I didn't put on a coat.
Why don't we talk in the car?
Just go home already.
If you don't get in my car,
I'll follow you to your house.
What will it be?
You can get in my car briefly...
or drag me along all the way home.
You know what I'm like.
Just for 10 minutes, okay?
What? Okay.
(Faith Broadcasting Station)
I said I'd get in for a second,
not go somewhere with you.
Where on earth are we going...
I don't know where we're going either.
But...
not the house.
Call me and ask me to come pick you up, Seol Ah.
Do it now.
Where are we?
It's flustering.
You brought me somewhere you don't even know.
What are you trying to do?
I didn't want you to go to that punk.
He shows up everywhere you go.
What are you doing? Who are you calling?
Give it back.
If you answer my question first.
Is he really your friend?
A man and a woman can't be friends. Besides, it's you.
Let's say you two are friends. You could have friends too.
But still, it's not right to have male friends, honey.
Make female friends.
Why did you cheat on me if you were going to be like this?
You cheated on me, but I can't even have a friend?
No, you can't even be friends if it's a man.
I had to face your woman for a year.
He apologized to me on her behalf.
He let me take my anger out on him on your behalf.
He listened to my story which I couldn't tell anyone about.
When I had no one by my side,
he became friends with me.
When I was left with nothing but spite.
A snob like me can become human with him.
I feel like I'm a decent person.
He's more than just a friend to me.
Are you...
really friends?
Yes.
For now.
What if that punk doesn't consider you as a friend?
What if he sees you as a woman?
Haven't you thought of it?
What kind of man would stick with a woman for a year...
when he doesn't have any feelings for her?
He's pretending to be a friend.
He's deceiving you, you fool.
Speak for yourself.
You're worse, you swindler.
What, swindler?
(Mun Tae Rang)
How dare he call someone else's woman early in the morning?
Hello?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Where are you right now?
Are you still with him?
Say something.
Whether it's an excuse or explanation,
don't you have anything to say?
She's asleep.
I don't want to wake her up.
Do you want me to?
I'm hanging up.
(Power off)
Aren't you cold?
Let's go.
Honey.
Your face looks frozen. You seem cold.
Goodness.
What are you doing? Get off me!
Are you hurt?
My back...
I think I hurt my back.
It hurts.
Can you help me up?
Hurry.
Darn it.
Ouch, it really hurts.
- Goodness. - Look at you.
Is this what you do first thing in the morning?
What are you up to with your car pulled over here?
Does your wife know...
about your relationship?
They might be a married couple.
Married couple, my foot.
I can tell they're having an affair.
We're married, ma'am.
She's my wife. It's true.
- Right, honey? - Gosh.
That's what everyone says.
You'll be punished if you betray your devoted wife.
And the same goes for you.
Your pretty looks don't give you an excuse for everything.
My goodness, you should know...
how shameful you are.
- Goodness. - Let's go.
Drop the act. Let's go now.
- Darn. - My back really hurts.
Well, right.
I can start over with her like this.
Tae Rang.
Why are you lying in the living room with your jacket on?
Did you not sleep?
I came home early this morning.
You're going to work late.
I took the morning off to go choose the new sink.
Oh, right.
What's wrong?
What do you mean? Nothing's wrong.
I'm sure something's going on.
You've been down for the past few days.
Did something happen at the restaurant?
Why?
Is it because of me?
What do you like so much about him?
What is he like?
I don't know.
That he lacks nothing?
He has no inferiority complex.
Whatever it is, he believes he can make it happen.
He doesn't hesitate.
I like that about him.
When we went on a business trip to Japan,
there was an earthquake.
The building was shaking as if it'd collapse soon.
Hiding under the desk,
he started to whistle.
I was terrified that I would die.
He said he wouldn't die that day,
so I wouldn't die either, thanks to him.
I knew it didn't make sense, but I found it somewhat comforting.
I guess that's when it started.
So that's how you feel. But what about him?
He will look back at me.
He knows that I love him better than anyone.
What if he doesn't? What would you do?
He'll come back to me when he feels tired.
He always does.
He might have changed.
A lot has changed.
No.
She hasn't changed.
She still doesn't love him.
Oh, no.
Why?
What's wrong? Why are you hiding?
She's gone. Get up.
This is all your fault.
I don't want to worry Mom again.
Please stop getting your own way. I'm begging you.
- Hey... - Seol Ah.
Mom!
Why are you coming back?
I just saw you in the mirror.
Your show was over a while ago. Why are you coming home now?
- Did you record another show? - What?
Yes.
You must be tired. Go home and get some rest.
No, I'm coming with you.
I just finished my morning delivery. I'm hungry now.
Mom, do you want to go eat bean sprout soup over there?
I want to eat that out of the blue.
Really? Let's go then.
Bean sprout soup?
All right then.
Come on.
Forget about your mom.
Do you think your sister...
doesn't have feelings for him?
I'm not sure about her feelings.
It's just her situation.
And I don't like that family either.
I guess they are not meant to be.
They are not meant to be? Why would you say that?
Think about her character.
She just needs a guy...
who loves and cares about her.
I mean, it should be someone she loves.
She should be happy.
Even though she married him for money,
they lived together for nine years.
You can't say that she doesn't love him at all.
You just don't know it.
The time spent as a married couple is a big deal.
And about Jin U.
He just sent a gift to her house.
What is that punk up to?
He's going about this the wrong way.
He should keep showing up to remind her of him...
and tell her that he can't live without her.
Only then will she change her mind.
Why isn't he facing her and just lounging around?
He's just like a spoiled son with pride from a rich family.
He has no guts.
If I were him, I would've...
shown up in front of the door.
Shall I barge in?
If I get beaten up, I'll let it happen.
This is a good excuse.
All right.
Who are you?
What are you doing in front of my house?
Father.
What? Father?
Well...
Jin U.
Hello, I'm Do Jin U.
Right.
It's you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I'm sorry I didn't visit you sooner.
Right. You're very late.
Has it been nine years? No.
You stayed in bed for a year.
So it's been 10 years.
I'm sorry.
Now that you're here, you should come in.
Hang on.
Dad?
Yes.
He was in front of the gate.
I can't turn away a visitor.
You must be flustered.
I feel the same way.
Does Seol Ah know?
She left her phone in my car. So I brought it.
Were you two together?
- Have a seat, Jin U. - Wait.
If you don't mind, I'd like to make a deep bow first.
Well... Okay.
Shall we do that then?
All right.
This is Seol Ah's room.
It's just a tiny room. There isn't much to see.
Did you want to see this?
I was curious how she's been doing.
I'll go make some food.
Wait here for a while.
Please cook for me next time.
I'll come again to meet you properly.
Okay. That would be better.
- When the whole family is home. - Yes.
All right then. Take your time and look around.
Will you have some tea with me then?
Yes, Father.
Okay.
I guess you went through a lot...
after we got married.
Seol Ah is the one who went through a lot because of me.
I'd like to get along with you now.
I've been too inattentive.
I'll be good from now on.
Much better than before.
For my two sisters-in-law.
I'll be a good brother-in-law.
Only if Seol Ah's okay with that.
Of course.
Then for today, could you...
You want me to leave? Okay, I'll leave.
I heard about the accident.
From whom?
You'll have heard different versions depending on the person.
Gu Jun Hwi...
You know Mr. Gu Jun Hwi.
He signed a contract with your younger sister.
Then you got the right version.
Is it Baek Rim?
Can you give me his number?
I'd like to meet him and apologize properly.
What?
You said you wanted bean sprout soup.
Why did you eat so little?
It tasted different from before.
Maybe it's just your appetite.
I thought it tasted fine.
Hey, you should wear the scarf.
You host a radio show. You should watch your voice.
Is it not yours?
Why have you been carrying it around?
A friend put it around my neck when I left the building...
after work in the morning.
Bring this friend over.
I'd like to serve a meal...
for this nice friend of yours.
I wonder what this person's like.
(HDM Living)
(Younglim Industry)
Is there something you like?
Yes. Everything's so pretty,
but I wish it were higher.
Aren't all sinks the same height?
Right?
This makes for a nice photo.
Tae Rang, pose as if you're cooking.
I'll take your best shot ever.
Don't be silly.
Do you need a whole new sink?
Yes.
Tell me if you have a preferred color or design.
Can you adjust the height too?
Yes, we can.
I see.
We'll let you know after we look around.
Come and find me when you're done.
Tae Rang. Doesn't coming here make you want to get married?
That's why I don't come here.
Do you want to get married or not?
I like everything about you but that vagueness.
I want to plump you up and marry you off first.
Why is there so much?
Shouldn't we marry off Hae Rang first?
She looks like she wants to get married really bad.
Hae Rang.
What?
Do you want to get married that badly?
Yes, I do want to get married that badly.
So what?
Then get married. What's the problem?
You don't have a fiance.
You need to work less.
Your boss leaves you no time to date.
You're with him day and night.
Bring me a brother-in-law.
Tae Rang, you bring me a sister-in-law.
Hae Rang, let's go and see the dining tables.
My goodness. Why did you bring these out?
Even I never once used them.
I saved them for Seol Ah's dowry...
I bought it as a dowry for one of the girls.
Who came by that you served tea in these?
Oh, a courier I hadn't seen in a whole came by.
I served some tea.
A courier? There are three cups.
Yes.
Cheong Ah. She joined us.
You had tea with a courier and Cheong Ah?
He had a lot of trouble...
dealing with civil complaints.
He was sorry that he came by so late.
He promised to look out for us.
He's a decent guy.
What did he give you?
What?
You lost your phone.
He found it and dropped by to give it back.
In case you felt even a little inconvenienced.
Did you lose your phone somewhere?
What? Yes.
My gosh.
What a nuisance.
I'll put it away.
How embarrassing.
I think he wanted to leave it in the mailbox.
But he met Dad who was taking out the trash...
and got invited inside.
It's so annoying.
He acts so dignified about everything.
He must still think I'm his wife.
Do you know what's worse?
I keep getting dragged in.
I see through his thick, shameless face,
but I end up being manipulated.
Whether he freezes to death or falls over,
what do I care?
You did care.
Exactly. I'm driving myself even crazier.
What's wrong with me?
Couldn't it be a married couple's affection?
Love and hate go together.
What affection?
We went too far. We can't go back to being a couple.
I think that's up to you.
What do you want to do?
Forget everything else.
I don't want to go back to that house.
Then what about Jin U?
What?
Do you love him?
Do you get flutters when you see him?
Or do you feel excited?
Check that first.
How can you check something so difficult?
I don't know how.
Hands. Hold hands first.
See if you feel fluttery or not.
Holding hands makes you flutter?
Wait, what is that look that says "I don't know what you mean"?
Didn't you feel fluttery when you held hands?
We were a married couple. We'd gotten married first.
I want you to start over with the person you love.
Whether it's Jin U or someone else.
The person you love.
I won't stay in the drawer anymore.
I'll stay by your side.
Come in.
You should've gone home. It's late.
Let's eat then leave together. I'll wait.
I have a lot to do.
I brought food from the Metropolitan.
You like the food there.
You took a taxi there and back?
Yes.
So don't skip dinner. Eat something.
I'll set it out.
Come over.
I have something to say.
Say it then.
I care for you enough that I want you to eat this first.
It's quicker than I thought.
(Episode 40)
Hae Rang.
It's all right.
I knew when we first began.
We always went through this...
every time we got back from our trip.
Okay, I'll be honest with you then.
When I first woke up from my coma,
it wasn't you that I thought of.
It was my wife.
I wanted to see her.
My wife, I mean.
But then she tells me that she had left me.
She was...
no longer my wife.
My mind is spinning right now. All I can think about...
is Seol Ah.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry,
but I want my wife back.
All right.
I'll go back to where I belong.
Just know this though.
You no longer have a wife.
Only you can't see that.
Gosh, are you lying around all day again?
Why bother with a facial mask when there's no one to see it?
For your information, there is someone.
Who? Officers Oh, Park, and Choi?
Unbelievable.
You put on a facial mask...
for the first time ever...
just to look good for your colleagues.
That's not it.
Haven't any of the officers asked you out yet?
Out of Officers Oh, Park, and Choi, I mean.
Let's date. You and me.
You're quite pretty,
so I don't get why you've always been single.
You have pretty eyes, a sharp nose, and pretty lips.
In detail, you have a pretty face.
I'll do it next time.
Whatever it is you're waiting for.
My gosh!
He'll do it next time.
That next time will be today!
- My gosh! - What? Who will do what?
Fine, get some rest.
Anyway, I'm borrowing some of your clothes.
Sure.
My gosh.
Cheong Ah, thanks for the outfit.
- Just get out already. - I'm going.
It's today!
- Yeon Ah. - What?
Mom, you startled me.
Why are you tiptoeing out like a burglar?
My gosh.
Hold on.
What's this coat? It looks new. Where did you get it?
It's Cheong Ah's new coat. I borrowed it without asking.
What? Without asking?
That's not what you call borrowing. Get it back to her.
But she doesn't even have anyone to see in this.
And how would you know?
She does have someone to meet, so take it off already.
Then did you buy her this expensive new coat...
as a gift for making it as a police officer?
What? It's expensive?
Yes! It's from a luxury brand.
(Senior Manager Na Tae Pyung)
First and foremost,
our athletes need experience in competitions.
If we hold international tournaments,
it will give them the experience which will lead to higher rankings.
Ms. Oh, what do you think about my nameplate?
You see, my kids saved money to get me this.
I wept all night at the sight of it.
Gosh, it's really nice.
A promotion is always great.
The position suits you, sir.
Please approve my proposal first.
It can't go up without your approval.
Then it will turn to nothing again.
- Isn't it 2pm yet? - No.
Gosh, why can't they announce it sooner?
Other guys are getting their empty hopes up.
They announced it.
They announced the new senior manager.
Finally.
As of today, I'm your new senior manager,
Na Tae Pyung.
Guys.
I hope we get along.
It's not you.
What?
Then who is it?
Well...
Mr. Gu Jun Hwi...
is the new senior manager of our department.
What?
I'm the new senior manager?
Well, they posted the announcement on the intranet just now.
Check it yourself.
Welcome, I'm Do Jin U.
I believe we aren't close enough to shake hands.
I'll have the tea ready.
I'm sorry that I'm too late.
I was sick for a long time.
Let's sit down first.
Well...
I'm well aware of what you went through.
I know it's water under the bridge,
but I hope you feel better at least a bit.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
How about you work at our company?
What?
I shouldn't let this pass by a single word of apology.
What you need right now is a job.
And I want to unburden myself a little.
If it's not too rude of me, will you give it some thought?
Thank you for your offer.
I'll think about it.
Let's drink our tea.
Okay.
You're wearing that coat.
You look so pretty today.
Fine clothes make the man, indeed.
You didn't have to come here. I know you're busy like crazy.
That's why I sent you the coat through courier service.
It's okay. I'm off today.
Oh, and this.
Take this home and eat it with your son.
You didn't have to buy it.
We can't even have dinner because you have plans.
I already feel bad about it.
Who did you dress up so nicely to meet on your day off?
I'm going on a date.
What, a date?
Then, do you have a boyfriend?
Yes.
I thought so.
It's that guy from the other day, right?
The guy who rejected you twice.
Right.
I'm happy for you. Congratulations.
I'm curious.
I wonder who it is you like.
Please don't mind me...
and leave work first.
Jun Hwi, you should leave work first...
I apologize.
You should leave work first, Mr. Gu.
We can leave work only then.
Let's keep things casual...
so we don't feel uncomfortable with each other.
Keep things casual?
How in the world can we do that?
You're a senior manager.
- Sir. - Mr. Na, calm down.
You shouldn't do this.
If you have something to say,
go on and say it.
Senior Manager...
Gu Jun Hwi.
For this company,
I will dedicate my life.
Please let me give myself to it.
I'll do my best. I'm at your service!
I'm okay.
I'll leave work then.
- I hope we get along. - I hope we get along.
Same here.
Then I'll leave work.
- Goodbye. - Me too.
Thank you for the coffee.
I can take a bus.
It's cold outside. I'll give you a ride.
You don't want your face to be frozen and stiff.
It's your first date.
Still...
Let's go.
(I'll be arriving in 2 minutes.)
I'll be arriving in 2 minutes.
I'll get off here.
Thank you for the ride.
It's cold outside. Get off when he arrives.
He's almost here.
I see.
- Have a good time. - Thank you.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Shall we go?
Just one moment.
Hello?
Oh, hello?
This is Cheong Ah's mom.
It's freezing, isn't it?
This is strange.
The weather wasn't this cold when I was on duty yesterday.
There were a lot of people here too.
Did you want to do this that much?
I was envious whenever I came here on duty.
The first thing I wanted to do when I got a boyfriend...
was to eat chicken by the Han River.
I guess it's something of a dream for me.
Well, aren't you my boyfriend?
Sure, I am.
All right. For Cheong Ah's dream.
Cheers.
It's cold.
It doesn't feel like chicken. It's like a rock.
What do we do? Shall we go?
No, let's finish the rocks.
I shouldn't have asked you to eat chicken with me.
It's a mistake that I brought you here.
What a dangerous dream.
Let's go someplace warm.
No, there aren't people because it's cold.
This is perfect.
Let's stay a little longer.
We won't be able to eat chicken here once it gets colder.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Actually, I was going to eat this in a tent.
I thought there would be some busking.
With a lot of LED lights. It would've been romantic.
Marilla said this.
"Anne, don't give up all your romance."
"It is a good thing."
She also said, "Not too much, of course."
Why did you not say it?
Did you read it?
Well... I just skimmed through it.
This cold chicken doesn't taste good now,
but it will be a good memory.
Something I will never forget. Even to you.
Don't be sad.
I'm happier than I've ever been.
I met an amusing girl.
Being with her is fun enough...
to make me reconsider dying.
You wanted to see me because I'm seeing Cheong Ah, right?
Yes.
I'm really sorry,
but I'm not happy with you two...
seeing each other.
When I heard that you've been meeting for a year,
I was upset, to be honest.
Will you please let Cheong Ah move on?
It's not like I don't understand what makes you...
want to see my daughter.
But you can't see her forever.
I know what you mean.
It was hard for me to see Cheong Ah at first.
But I became to feel relieved and pleased when I met her.
We understood each other without saying anything.
So I relied on her.
I wanted to help her.
I wanted to be a real support in her life.
Why would you do that when she has her own parents?
You can't talk about Jun Gyeom with your older son.
You don't want to hurt his feelings.
But why do you keep hurting my daughter's feelings?
It's selfish of me to say this,
but you are no different from me.
Have you ever thanked...
my son who saved your daughter's life?
Did you not try to forget about him from the beginning?
You want to pretend it didn't happen.
My son was alive.
Why do you only think of him as the son who died?
You might think...
I'm just opening up an old wound.
But we are getting over it together.
Slowly...
and carefully.
Cheong Ah is a police officer now.
She will get married.
I don't want people at her work and her future husband...
to know anything about it.
My daughter...
has to live on.
I didn't think of that.
Okay.
I also want Cheong Ah to lead a happy life.
More than anyone.
I'm getting used to eating this cold chicken.
Do you want some more?
No.
I don't think I can do this anymore.
And I don't want you to catch a cold.
Let's go someplace warm.
I have something to tell you.
Before we go someplace warm.
What?
Here? Now?
Yes.
I'll say it here.
I'll do it next time.
Whatever it is you're waiting for.
Then go ahead.
Don't be surprised.
I...
got promoted to senior manager today.
The eyes got into my wind.
I mean, the wind got into my eyes.
You should go see a doctor tomorrow. This isn't working.
I'll be fine after some sleep.
No, you won't.
Look. You're burning up.
I'll go see a doctor.
Promise me.
It seems like more than just a cold.
This doesn't happen often. But look at you, lying sick in bed.
I'm sure this is serious.
Dad, go out to eat with Pa Rang.
I can't rest when you're around.
Okay. Get some rest.
- Here. Take your medicine. - Okay.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the beep.
(Mun Tae Rang)
What? Who is he seeing again?
Did he really say that?
Yes. He wants his wife back.
He says Kim Seol Ah is all he can think about.
Who said he can start over?
The whole country knows that they are divorced.
Things will be harder than expected for Vice Chairman Do.
Seol Ah wouldn't have him back.
But even if she does,
you wouldn't let them get back together.
Do you think I'll let it happen?
It's not going to happen. Don't worry about it.
If I would let her set foot in my house again like that,
I wouldn't have divorced them in the first place.
She would never get back with him because of me.
(Kim Seol Ah)
(You have 6 missed calls.)
(Kim Seol Ah)
You finally picked it up.
What?
Are you not at work?
The restaurant was closed.
Are you sick?
No.
Then can you come out?
I'm right outside your place.
What? You're where?
You're outside my place?
You didn't answer your phone, you weren't at work,
and I'd done something bad.
I rushed about in a frenzy and found myself here.
Should I just go?
I want to see you before I go to work.
Wait there. I'll come out.
I feel better now that I saw you.
I feel worse to see you.
Are you very upset? Because of the scarf?
I messed up. I'm sorry.
It's okay to mess up.
But don't do it because of your husband.
A friend should put up with that,
but I can't.
What?
Well, you saw me. You should go now.
I can't drive you tonight.
Are you sick?
Yes.
Is it a cold?
No.
Because of you.
