KKULBEE EDUCATION
Oh, hi there.
You must be Ji-uk. Geum-duk's grandson, right?
Yes, I am.
I'm Eun-ok.
Auntie, Mom, Lady, or Ms. Lee.
Call me however you'd like except for Grandma.
Grandma--
I meant my grandmother, Geum-duk.
She told me I'd be going to an orphanage.
For goodness' sake.
I told her this wasn't an orphanage.
I don't get why she's so bent on calling her own grandson an orphan.
Let's go inside.
Come on.
Stand there just a moment.
Welcome home, my son.
Thanks for coming.
I feel so reassured to have you around the house.
By the way, are you good at keeping secrets?
I'm good at keeping promises.
In that case, can you make me a promise?
About what?
I have a daughter called Son Hae-yeong.
We have to keep your stay here
a secret from her.
Does that mean she's moved out?
Yeah.
If I'm causing you trouble in any way--
I doubt she'd come visit.
But still, it's better to be prepared.
Can you stay under her radar?
Yes.
You just gave me your word, okay?
I asked you a question.
Are you the Ji-uk…
who's repeatedly mentioned here?
So you used to live here?
Yes.
Were you my mom's foster child?
Yes.
Did you know who I was…
all this time?
Yes.
I can explain.
Get lost.
Ma'am.
Get the hell out. You make me sick.
-I'm sorry. -Didn't you hear me?
Leave.
Can't you…
just be mad at me?
If you tell me to get the hell out or leave,
I couldn't possibly go.
Then I'll leave instead.
I couldn't tell you because I made a promise to your mother.
I promised her that you, I mean, her daughter
would never find out that she took me in as a foster child.
I had no idea we would end up like this.
I get why you may be mad at me, but she must've had her reasons…
Her reasons?
Like how much of a mean, selfish bitch I must've been for her to keep this
a secret from me?
-I didn't mean it like that. -Do you know who's truly selfish?
It's her.
-My mom. -Ma'am.
I never agreed to any of it.
The space here should've been mine
as well as my mom's affection and attention.
I told her a million times that I didn't want to share them.
But she never listened to me, not even once.
Then…
Then my dad…
I suppose my mom never regretted it
even after she cost him his life.
I just can't believe…
she took you in even after that.
What do you mean?
Why do you blame your mother for your father's death?
Didn't she tell you?
Ma'am.
-The nursing home in Paju, please. -Okay.
Ja-yeon.
You know what happened to Hae-yeong's father, don't you?
What?
Oh.
Well, I…
Would you rather not talk about him?
No. He's off-limits in this house.
Never mind.
Were you Mom's last foster child?
Yes.
I'm glad to hear it.
It's a relief to know she wasn't here all by herself.
I mean it.
Hae-yeong will realize that too.
She might need some time, though.
I'm so sorry, but let's go back.
Didn't you say you wanted to go to Paju?
I realized it's too late.
Even if I got there,
I doubt I'd find any answers.
Hey!
-You're here. -Ha-jun's here.
-Hey! -Ha-jun.
-You're always late. -I'm sorry.
-Jeez. -Let me go say hi first.
-What's new with you? -Let me pour you a glass.
Hey, you're finally here.
Can we drink this here?
Dude, get out.
I'm providing the venue
and even offering my services for this high school reunion.
The least you can do is boost my drink sales…
Well, this certainly changes things.
I'm impressed, Ha-jun.
Being a slave at a fancy company elevated your tastes.
I'll go get some glasses, Ha-jun.
-Let's all raise our glasses! -All right!
-Cheers. -Cheers.
I visited Garam High recently.
-With who? -It was with Nam Ja--
Namja as in a guy?
You lost my interest.
No, Nam Ja-yeon is her name.
She was in the liberal arts track but transferred before our senior year.
-Remember her? -Nam Ja-yeon?
Doesn't ring a bell.
Wasn't she staying with someone else's family?
What was it called? It wasn't exactly an orphanage.
Do you mean a foster home?
Yeah, that's it.
That just jogged my memory.
A murder took place in that foster home years ago.
A murder?
Yeah, the perp's wife ran away,
and the kid was staying with that foster family.
Things went south
while he was hounding the kid about where the mom was.
Maybe the kid was her.
-That must be why she transferred. -When did this happen?
During our senior year. I'm sure of that.
Come on. She was already in another school by then.
And how could she stay with the family if her dad did such a thing?
True.
So, is she pretty?
Just know that this bottle
came into our hands thanks to her.
Raise your glasses!
It's so nice to see you all again! Drink up!
6 YEARS AGO
Ja-yeon.
Auntie.
Didn't you miss me?
I've…
missed you so much.
I'm sorry.
I never should've called
and blamed you for what had happened.
I shouldn't have said all those cruel things.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Don't say that.
Please. I was the reason…
I was the reason why Mr. Son passed away.
That's not true. It was never your fault.
You were a victim too.
I wasn't in my right mind back then.
I was fixated on blaming someone else.
It wasn't your fault.
Yes, it was.
I brought it all on you.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Ja-yeon.
Apparently, I have this little illness.
What?
They say I'll be losing my memories.
All my bad memories will fade away,
leaving only the good ones behind.
Mom.
Once that happens, the truth will be forgotten.
I never told a soul
that the bastard came looking for you.
Not even Hae-yeong.
Mr. Son insisted
until the very end
that you should…
never be branded as a murderer's child.
Ja-yeon.
Once something passes out of all living memory,
we can brush it off like it never happened, okay?
It never happened.
I want you to forget about what happened.
Let it go.
You're allowed to do that.
It was never your fault, okay?
Hae-yeong,
if I could've taken Mom's illness away and suffered it myself…
No, if I only could've died in Mr. Son's stead,
I would've done anything.
But this was the only thing I could do.
Hae-yeong.
If you don't know…
Hae-yeong.
It's me, Ja-yeon.
If you truly don't know
that it's my fault Mr. Son passed away…
Nam Ja-yeon?
I really hope you don't.
It's been a while.
How have you been?
Hae-yeong.
I'm sorry.
For what?
I'm sorry for…
You didn't clean up the fridge?
-What? -Do it tomorrow.
Okay.
I'll be good to you, Hae-yeong.
I'll treat you well
just as your parents would've.
Please forgive me.
EPISODE 11
The number you have dialed isn't available.
Ji-uk!
Hey, Gi-un.
I have a favor to ask.
Could you check if Ms. Son came to--
I've missed you so much.
-What? -Have you been well?
We text almost every--
That's nowhere near enough!
Is it enough for you?
Mr. Kim?
Oh, my. Hey!
The amazing post-quitting glow
is missing.
What's the matter?
You look so sleep-deprived.
That's strange.
They say a resignation heals all illness
and a divorce is the secret to eternal youth.
Are you here to see Ms. Son, by any chance?
-Yes. -I believe she's taking the day off.
Sorry?
I see.
I'll get going, then.
See you later, Gi-un.
Later?
Doesn't he look still in love for a recent divorcé?
What do you think, Mr. Bok?
Maybe he's trying to get her back.
Could that be why Ms. Son is avoiding him?
What's wrong with Ji-uk?
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with him.
A divorcée should find a new guy.
Secretary Yeo, make an inquiry to QT Telecom's Park In-ha
and UK Telecom's Lee Yu-yeon about possible cell tower issues.
Don't forget Ogwang Electronics' Kim Tae-jin.
I'm sure they need to issue a product recall.
Understood, Secretary Yeo?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Secretary Yeo!
What's the problem?
The cell system and the phones--
I meant the real problem.
I may have…
lost my temper
with Ms. Yeon.
You had the nerve to lose your temper with her?
Ms. Yeon has been…
ignoring my calls!
What should I do now?
Here's the thing.
Even if the cell towers collapsed and phones exploded,
people would always find a way
to answer a call from someone they like.
What's that supposed to mean?
Secretary Yeo!
Secretary Yeo.
If the girl you're seeing is ignoring your call,
that means it's over.
She must've blocked you.
She blocked me?
Really?
Have you also…
I've made 17 calls already.
I called 29 times.
That's way too much.
More than ten calls… No.
More than five missed calls would make anyone sick.
Get the hell out. You make me sick.
Both your relationships obviously met their end.
I'd say you're through.
This is the happy ending for us.
You're forbidden from saying "the end" or "the ending" anywhere near me.
"You make me sick" is forbidden too.
Lucifer,
why don't you contact Ms. Son's mother?
I've tried, but…
Perhaps she went to
visit her dad at his cemetery?
So the victim of that murder case was Ms. Son's father.
What case?
Didn't you know?
I only heard about it at my high school reunion.
One of my friends used to live in the area.
What happened?
Well…
You know that Ms. Son's parents
ran a foster home, right?
A father of their foster child came looking for his child…
and murdered him.
I suppose my mom never regretted it
even after she cost him his life.
I just can't believe…
she took you in even after that.
So that's why she said that.
Why don't you call Ms. Son?
I'm sure she'd answer your call.
I suppose, but…
If you can find out where she is,
I'll call Ja-yeon for you and ask if she blocked you.
NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM TEAM LEADER SON HAE-YEONG
This is Son Hae-yeong.
Hello?
Go on. Talk to her.
Team Leader… I mean, Manager Son.
Where are you?
It's my day off today.
I'm not at the office, sir.
Where exactly are you?
I'm out of the city to tend to some business.
WHERE, EXACTLY?
Wearing what?
WHERE, EXACTLY?
Where, exactly?
I'm currently in…
By the way, why are you asking?
Because the various local breads I had at your place came to mind.
Which city's specialty are you buying this time?
The local specialty here isn't bread but walnut cakes.
Walnut cakes?
I'll see you and the walnut cakes tomorrow, then.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Has he finally lost it?
Jeez, that ridiculous weirdo.
There we go.
It's your turn, Lucifer. Call Ms. Yeon and ask her…
You can have it. It tastes great.
Lucifer.
Lucifer!
Secretary Yeo, fire him!
He already quit.
We can't fire him again.
Damn it.
SPICE UP OUR LOVE ADAPTATION SCRIPT
What perfect timing, Ms. Cha.
The script for the adaptation came in. Do you want to read it with me?
I actually came to see you to discuss that.
I thought I should let you know before my agency.
I'm afraid I can't take part in it.
Why not?
Ms. Cho
and Tae-hyeong broke up because of me.
My conscience
tells me I should keep away.
My morning sickness is getting severe as well.
Ms. Cha.
Does that mean…
Yeah.
Tae-hyeong and I made the decision together.
I hope you can support our decision.
I'll support you in any way that I can.
By the way, Ms. Cha,
do you have faith?
In Tae-hyeong, you mean?
No, in love.
Love where you can understand and accept
every part of the other person.
Do you think such love exists?
Do you think someone could love you
even after knowing everything about you--
Ja-yeon.
Ever heard of Schrödinger's cat?
The thought experiment that contemplates a hypothetical cat in the box?
Wasn't it about quantum physics?
I don't know squat about quantum physics.
But I think
only someone who believes the cat is alive would open the box.
I'm saying that you have to believe that such love exists to experience it.
Excuse me.
HATER
Hey, I'm on my way out after seeing Ja-yeon.
Wait for what? I can go see the doctor on my own.
Don't forget, Tae-hyeong. You could run into Hae-yeong.
If a beating from her is inevitable,
it'd be best to get it over with soon.
All right, then. I'll meet you at the hospital.
Okay.
I'll see you there.
You're breaking up with me
for a kid who may even not be yours?
Min-ji.
-Is one slap enough? -You think you're so romantic, don't you?
Come to your senses. You're not doing this because you love Hui-seong.
It's just your narcissism deluding you about how selfless you can be.
You can hit me and insult me all you want,
but just let your feelings out.
I'll be the one to interpret my feelings.
-Are you sure about this? -Of course.
You may feel that way now.
The kid isn't in your life yet.
But it'll change once they're born.
"Who does that kid take after?"
"Surely mine won't behave that way."
Cho Min-ji.
You think that thought won't occur to you?
I guarantee you that any man would think that.
One more thing, Mr. Yun.
You're not that special.
Ma'am.
Are you okay?
What the heck?
How did you know this place?
-Well… -Did Mom bring you here too?
My head.
Green wood doesn't catch fire easily
and only creates a lot of smoke.
There's a place that sells firewood nearby, so--
How did you know I'd be here?
You're making me sick again.
I was worried about you.
If you're uncomfortable with me being here,
I can leave.
What happened to this place anyway?
I thought her diaries would be here, but they weren't.
She wanted to get rid of everything before moving into the nursing home.
She said there were things that had been around since her mother's time
and that they'd only be a burden to you if she left them behind.
Why did she come here in the first place?
Her memory was already deteriorating.
She read a book that said
if the elderly lived in an environment they lived in 20 years ago,
they'd become physically younger.
She had hoped
to slow down the progress of her illness
by living in the house she used to live in when she was young.
She watched TV shows and listened to music she enjoyed
when she was young.
Your mother
only agreed to take me in
because of my grandmother.
My grandmother
insisted that she do so.
She had no other choice.
Does she remember you?
I'm sure she'd remember her last foster child,
though not her own daughter.
I have something to show you.
The room should be warm now.
You can go inside.
Mom, who's this baby again?
She's my daughter, Hae-yeong.
Hae-yeong.
I guess she adored me most when I couldn't talk.
Mom, who's this baby again?
She's my daughter, Hae-yeong.
Mom, who's this baby again?
She's my daughter, Hae-yeong.
If you take a look here,
the black area is the amniotic fluid,
and the white part inside is your baby.
Can you see a movement at where my cursor is now?
-Yes. -Yes.
That's the baby's heart.
We'll now listen to their heartbeat.
You may feel that way now.
The kid isn't in your life yet.
But it'll change once they're born.
When can we know the sex of the baby?
Tae-hyeong.
You can confirm that at 16 weeks.
You can find out if the baby takes after the dad or the mom then.
"Who does that kid take after?"
"Surely mine won't behave that way."
You think that thought won't occur to you?
You must be tired, Hui-seong.
You haven't eaten anything because of the morning sickness either.
Don't worry about it. I'm fine.
Are you craving anything?
Tell me whatever comes to mind. You need to eat, even a bite or two.
I'm okay.
I just want to go home.
You can drop me off there.
What are you talking about? I'm driving you home.
But you have to go back to the studio.
It's all right.
I have to see you eat something and get you home to feel easy.
-Tae-hyeong. -Yeah?
Pull over.
What's wrong? Do you feel queasy?
I said pull over.
Hui-seong.
Hui-seong!
Are you all right, Hui-seong? If you feel like throwing up--
What about you?
Me?
What about me?
I'm asking if things are okay between us.
Why wouldn't they be?
Are you really sure
about me and the baby?
What's gotten into you?
I can read you like an open book.
There's nothing you can keep from me.
So level with me now.
About what?
Did you regret
telling me that this baby was ours?
-Hui-seong. -Did you?
I've always loved your honesty.
But if you don't open up to me now,
you'll have to continue to put up an act
and I'll have to walk on eggshells just as we have earlier.
So answer me.
Did you regret it?
So you did.
But it was only for a second.
No matter how brief it was,
it doesn't change that you regretted it.
But I'm allowed to falter for one second. Surely you can understand me.
I do understand you.
I hope you'll do the same for me.
Hui-seong.
Please don't do this.
I liked you because you were honest,
and I loved you because you always respected my words.
Don't come after me.
Ma'am.
I'm coming in.
When are you going back--
Ji-uk.
Where were you whenever I visited?
I must've gone home at least a few times,
but I don't think I ever saw you.
Your mother would give me a heads-up
so I could go to the library or an Internet cafe.
And…
we did meet.
Just once.
When?
It was on the first anniversary of your father's passing.
Oh, shoot. Today's the day she'd be visiting.
That was close.
LISTENING COMPREHENSION
What are you staring at, you little punk?
Start smoking at your age, and you'll never grow tall.
Hey.
Do you have a lighter?
Forget it if you don't.
I guess you started early,
seeing how you're so small.
That was you?
The kid who gave me the lighter
was really you?
Why did you have one anyway?
It was my grandmother's.
I went to see her that day.
That was you?
What's the matter?
By the way,
why did you disappear without a word
after our wedding?
Because…
I fell for you.
Why disappear when you fell for me?
I was worried that we'd grow close
and that I might fail to keep my promise
to your mother.
Your promise to your grandmother
kept you from seeing your mom though you missed her,
and the one to my mom…
made you bottle up your feelings for me.
Ma'am.
Let's go home.
SPICE UP OUR LOVE EPISODE 157 YEON-SEO…
HA-JUN…
I never took you for an irresponsible writer.
What you're doing is putting a brake on the series, not giving it an ending.
And it's definitely not a happy one either.
Secretary Yeo.
You're free to go. I'll drive myself home.
Allow me to unlock the door for you.
Have a pleasant drive, Mr. Bok.
That damned circuit breaker.
Did that startle you too, Baby?
Don't worry, I'll…
Who's there?
-Excuse-- -Ja-yeon.
It's me, your dad.
Nam Ja-yeon!
You should say hello
to your dad.
D…
Dad!
Stand up straight.
Where are your manners?
Damn you, Ja-yeon!
Nam Ja-yeon!
Damn it.
Open the door!
Nam Ja-yeon!
You little rat!
Get out here!
Ja-yeon, you fucking bitch!
The number you have dialed isn't available.
Why isn't she answering?
Maybe she's sleeping.
She's never ignored my calls
even when she's sleeping.
She's never done this before.
The number you have dialed isn't available…
HUI-SEONG
The device is turned off. You will be redirected to…
Why is her phone turned off, for goodness' sake?
Why are you so on edge?
Nam Ja-yeon!
Where are you hiding, you bitch?!
Open the door!
Nam Ja-yeon! Come out here!
Open up!
You're here, aren't you?
Come out!
Nam Ja-yeon!
I said open the door!
Open it! Open the damn door!
Jeez, you shameless bitch.
I can't believe you decided to hide here of all places.
Especially when someone in this family died because of you.
-That's not true. -If only you hadn't run away,
that man wouldn't have died!
You're the reason he died!
No, that's not true!
Is there
something I'm unaware of?
Ma'am.
The murderer has been released.
The one…
who murdered my dad.
Open the door!
Hey!
Do you think the murderer
will come back to your house?
Yeah, the person he's after
is in my house.
Ja-yeon.
It's been a while. Why don't we have a talk?
About your mom.
NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM TEAM LEADER SON HAE-YEONG
-Ms. Son? -This is Kim Ji-uk.
Have you called me to brag about making up with--
Mr. Bok.
Go to Ms. Son's place immediately.
-What? -Hurry.
Damn it.
Ja-yeon.
Don't you feel bad for me at all?
My wife left me for some other man,
and my own kid deserted me.
I only came by
to ask you if you knew where your mom was.
But that damned man overreacted and had me waste years in jail.
Ja-yeon.
I don't want to waste any more time.
Let's be a happy family. You, me, and your mom.
So tell me.
Where's your mom?
I don't know.
I'm going to give you one last chance.
Where is she?
Do you know why you're obsessing over her?
It's because she's the only person who's afraid of you.
You're just a pathetic loser who acts tough in front of--
Oh, wow.
Unbelievable.
That girl will be coming home soon.
Son Hae-yeong, right?
-Shut up. -You'll get another person killed--
-Shut the hell up! -Damn you!
Tell me!
If you don't,
I'll kill Son Hae-yeong just as I killed her dad.
And I'll do it right before your eyes!
-Ms. Yeon! -What the hell?
Ms. Yeon.
Ja-yeon!
Damn it.
Ja-yeon!
You bastard.
Who are you?
You fucking bastard!
Who are you?
Are you her boyfriend?
That makes sense.
If she's anything like her mom,
she'd be crazy about men.
There's no way
she could keep away from guys.
My dear son-in-law.
It was nice meeting you.
Gyu-hyun.
Stop!
Gyu-hyun!
Ja-yeon.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Are you sure you're okay?
I am.
It's okay.
Everything's okay.
Don't worry.
Everything's okay.
Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
It's just a flesh wound.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm all right.
Just a few, quick questions.
-This is the weapon the suspect brought. -That's right.
Do you know what this is?
Well, that's…
Something I used for self-defense.
I see.
Goodness. I thought the suspect brought these with him.
Here you go.
Ja-yeon.
Ja-yeon!
Hae-yeong.
For fuck's sake, I came to see my daughter!
How could you accuse me of trespassing when I was visiting my girl?
You've got to be joking, damn it!
You tell them, Ja-yeon.
Who am I?
I'm your dad, aren't I?!
What was that?
You have the audacity to claim to be her dad?
What kind of dad beats and bruises his own child?
She doesn't need a dad like that.
You saw that, didn't you? That bitch just assaulted me.
You damned brat.
Take him away.
Damn it.
Did you know all this time?
Did you know who he was…
all along?
If…
If you knew,
how could you still keep me around?
I didn't want to suffer a loss.
When you came to see me…
it felt like
it might be the last time I'd get to see you.
Hae-yeong.
Your face told me your life was a living hell.
Hae-yeong.
It's me, Ja-yeon.
You were screaming…
for help.
And then I arrogantly thought
that though I wasn't able to save Dad,
I might be able to save you.
Nam Ja-yeon?
I could hate you any time,
but I might never get
another shot at saving you.
It's been a while.
How have you been?
I didn't want to lose you too.
I…
I had no idea.
But you know what?
I regretted it sometimes.
I thought that maybe my decision
would make you suffer in greater hell.
I only made it through thanks to you.
You kept me hanging in there.
That's a relief.
Hae-yeong.
I'm sorry, Hae-yeong.
Are you okay, Mr. Bok?
How could I be when I got stabbed with a knife?
But I still hit him more.
By the way…
what were those things doing in their house?
You know.
Oh, right. We should get you to the hospital.
Why do they have so many of them?
Oh, no. It must hurt really badly.
You should get it stitched up, or it may leave a scar.
-Okay. -Please take him to a hospital.
Thanks.
For giving me the call.
You gave me the chance to save Ja-yeon.
I appreciate it…
Ji-uk.
Ja-yeon.
Come this way.
Here.
He completely smashed the door.
We just installed it not long ago.
What is it?
Are you scared?
Why would I be?
In that case,
should I go upstairs?
What about the front door?
Did you fix it?
Yes.
All right, then. You must be tired too.
Go upstairs and rest.
I could sleep over.
I meant on the sofa over there.
Rest properly in the bed.
May I?
I meant your bed.
Good night, then.
Come in.
Ms. Yeon.
I see you're still up.
Can I come in?
Hae-yeong wanted me to thank you on her behalf.
I don't think I've actually thanked you either.
Thank you so much
for saving me tonight.
You even got hurt while saving me.
I can't…
apologize enough.
What?
Is that all?
-Sorry? -I thought you were a thorough person.
You should repay me properly.
Excuse me?
Is this repaying you properly?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Since I saved you,
it's only right that you save me…
from my nightmares.
Well…
Did you put a brake on our series
because of that man and Ms. Son?
If I had known earlier,
I wouldn't have…
fallen for you.
I'm sorry for not telling you.
Had I known about it earlier…
I would've…
fallen madly in love with you with all my heart.
There's no way I can compete
with the bond you have with Ms. Son.
Even so,
I'll do my best.
I'll pull in all my resources
including my assets and power
-to overthrow Ms. Son-- -Are you saying…
you still like me…
even when you know everything?
Yes.
Despite knowing everything about me,
you still understand and accept me as I am?
I love you…
and my love will only grow bigger.
Meow.
What?
My heart just meowed.
That must hurt.
MOM
Hello?
Ji-uk.
Wake up, Ji-uk.
Kim Ji-uk.
What's up?
You need to wake up.
Mom passed away.
What?
I got a call from the nursing home. They want me there immediately.
What…
What did you just say?
Mom passed away.
-Ma'am. -Get up already.
Ma'am.
We have no time to lose.
We should hurry over to see her.
Son Hae-yeong.
Hae-yeong.
Ji-uk.
Yes?
My mom's dead.
My mom…
left me behind.
My mom…
She left me.
I made a promise to your mother
to hold your hand tight.
What are you plotting?
I can't let him bring a scribbler home for a daughter-in-law.
You're no longer bound by promises.
I don't want to be the reason and the purpose of your life.
I don't need that from you.
Doesn't it mean that you won't forget me and that you're regretting it?
Just one more time.
Please help me one last time
so I can stay true to myself.
