Original subtitles

I found her.

You did?

Are you sure?

Send me the pictures first.

And her address and occupation.

I'll hear the rest in person. It shouldn't be discussed over the phone.

Bring me all the documents, testimonies, and files with clear grounds.

I'll text you where and when to meet.

HONG

Look, I told you to text me if you had anything to say.

Just stay there.

It's uncomfortable? What is?

You need something else?

You need food or clothes? You have an AC problem?

Don't you know why you must be in hiding?

Once I move out, Ji-wan can use my room

and you can rent out Ji-wan's room.

It'll be better for you.

That's not your concern.

I'm still perfectly capable.

Ji-hyeok, later, when you find someone you really like,

you'll want to get married.

My point exactly.

Moving out is totally unnecessary. The moment you do, you'll spend so much.

And you've been enjoying your hobbies a little too much.

Dad, Mom.

I really don't want to get married.

Why? Are you one of those?

I hear youngsters these days,

give up on this and that because life is tough,

including marriage.

It's a choice, not giving up. That's what my generation thinks.

It's not a choice. You're just giving up in advance.

As if people in our generation got married because things were bearable.

What matters is how you take it. You're young. You can do anything.

A man should be able to support the woman he loves.

All you need is a healthy body.

That's right, Dad. I totally agree.

Besides, it's reckless to think of moving out

just because you want to stay single.

The moment you move out, you have to give up on saving money.

If you find someone decent later in time,

you'll regret it so much.

Like, "I shouldn't have done that."

Don't tell me you're planning to buy a house before getting married.

Look. I supported and looked after your sick grandpa

while I raised all three of you.

Are you getting my point?

Yes.

I get what you're saying. Go on and eat.

Goodness.

Ji-hyeok, you're really not going to get married?

You're really not going to get married?

I won't.

This is insane. A no to marriage?

I'm dying to get married.

What about moving out?

I'm looking for a place.

Then why didn't you say anything back there?

You acted as if you'd listen to Mom and Dad.

I just listened to their opinions.

I get it.

You're going to move out regardless of their objection.

I know they won't approve anyway.

Come on, you shouldn't do that.

You should've made yourself clear.

Why did you just listen?

A 33-year-old doesn't need permission to move out.

You have a point.

To make Mom, Dad, and especially Grandma understand is impossible.

If you're not going to get married you should move out.

But I just don't understand.

You have a nice job, a high salary and good looks,

with no need to support Dad.

You have no problem dating. So, why won't you get married?

You sound just like our parents.

More people choose not to marry these days.

They choose not to do it because they can't.

- Houses are pricey and they're poor. - So what!

Ji-hyeok, so when are you moving out?

Once I sign a lease.

So stay out of my business.

I won't even if you ask to.

I hate getting in between people.

Same here.

It's your life anyway, so stick to your decisions.

Mom and Dad can't be convinced anyway.

- Now, get out. - Okay.

Bye.

Ji-hyeok.

Can I get married first, then?

- Can you afford to do so? - Of course.

There's this woman I love to death. And I have a healthy body.

I can get married!

Even tomorrow!

My heart sank when Ji-hyeok said he'd move out.

I expected he'd do it after getting married.

I seriously don't understand kids these days.

We can't possibly understand them.

When I told my mom I'd marry you, she didn't understand me.

She kept going on about kids these days.

She made me an elementary school teacher so I wouldn't live like her,

but I got married first thing.

Right, she said that.

We started our marriage

with a monthly rent at a tiny semi-basement house.

But it wasn't uncomfortable. I was just happy to be with you.

We'd place buckets underneath the leaking ceiling

and enjoyed listening to the drops of rain.

It was so fun.

Anyway, I had no idea Ji-hyeok would say something so immature.

It's because he's never truly been in love.

How do you know?

I've never seen him go out day or night,

obsessed with texts and phone calls, or anything like that.

He's been totally different from Ji-wan and Soo-bin.

You're right.

When a man is truly in love, he would do anything

just to live with her, right?

Maybe it was just our generation.

News reports these days do say a lot of people don't get married.

Maybe they don't love each other enough to face hardships together.

If someone only wants the good times and refuses the bad,

that can't be called love.

They think of marriage as business.

At least he understood our point. That's a relief.

He's one to understand and listen. He just got this weird idea somewhere.

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

You have a license for scuba diving and surfing instruction.

- I guess you like water sports. - I like all kinds of sports.

I also like triathlon and marathon.

Triathlon? Then, you must have good lung capacity.

Shall we begin?

When you're done with this,

could you perhaps change the bulbs in the rail lighting over there?

Just make it a little dimmer.

- Sure. - Thank you.

You're installing the pendant light.

It's so pretty.

Hello.

Ms. Ji.

You know, you really are a softie.

A softie?

You intimidated me as if you'd never go easy on me,

but you were going to grind the ceiling all by yourself.

I only started the job.

It was done thanks to the painting chief.

That's not all.

She added 1.5 times the electric capacity for you.

See? You really are a softie.

I'm truly touched.

I'm off to change the light bulbs.

- I'll follow you soon. - Sure.

I'm a bit touched too.

You paid the painting chief quite a lot.

I have a sense of conscience.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for appreciating it.

My goodness.

Why are you back?

- What is it? Did something happen? - No.

You coughed and had trouble sleeping last night,

so I didn't want you to drive.

- I'll give you a lift. - Goodness, honey.

I'll need my car for sudden trips for Young-ra's exhibition.

Right.

Then, I'll send Mr. Oh. Have him drive you around.

There you go again.

I find it unpleasant to go around in my husband's company car.

It's a company car. I'm not supposed to use it.

I don't want people to criticize you.

You can be quite stubborn at times.

Honey, it's pretty fun to drive.

Are you sure you made the appointment?

Okay.

Stand by and tell me the departure time.

SECRETARY KO

Secretary Ko, it's me.

Let's stop here.

Stay for a bit, Chief Director Park.

Please have this checked.

Sales for the first quarter went up.

Yes, they increased by 11%.

How do you feel?

Excuse me?

You must feel something about this.

You might feel thrilled or regretful for not making better results.

I simply did my job.

How lukewarm.

I'll excuse myself, then.

Tell me why I should tell you…

A YEAR AGO CAFE AGIT'S RELOCATION OPENING

I should let you know that Ji-hyeok broke up with his girlfriend.

Come on. You already know.

Well, it has nothing to do with me

knowing that you've had a crush on Ji-hyeok for a very long time.

But I wonder

what I'll gain out of it.

That kind of personality doesn't suit you.

It doesn't suit you, Chief Director Park.

You didn't know me enough, then.

I'm a businessman. I calculate things.

Oh, you mean that?

Give and take.

Fine, I'll do you one favor in return.

Okay, deal.

What's your request, though?

I'll tell you when I need something.

Instead,

make sure you tell me this time.

AGIT

Oh, hello.

Eun-o.

Treat me to the movies.

Movies?

You asked me to let you know when Ji-hyeok

broke up with his girlfriend.

They broke up?

Well, maybe. Probably.

What does that mean?

He broke up.

Really?

I'm here.

Sung-jae. You're here too?

I'm going to go to the bathroom.

What brings you here?

I have a meeting with a client. What about you?

I had a headache.

So I was taking a stroll.

Iced Americano, right?

Just give me 30 minutes. The meeting won't take long.

Why? Want to have lunch with me?

No, I need to make use of you. Let's have lunch afterward.

Okay.

- What's wrong, Eun-o? - Oh, Ji-hyeok. What brings you by?

What?

Can't I ask that?

But you just saw me.

Come here, Eun-o.

Why?

You don't have a fever.

What's wrong with you?

Do we still have coffee beans from Colombia?

She's impossible.

Over here. Please come this way.

Hello?

Oh, yes. This is Ji Eun-o of Eunoism.

Oh, you want an estimate checked?

I can do that for you. What's the location?

As for the floor material, I recommend hardwood although it's not cheap.

Maroon black

or blond oak should be good.

Which color do you think…

Blond oak.

FRIENDS EUROPE

Yes, I made a decision.

- You did? - Yeah.

Italy, Spain and France.

The must-visit places in Europe.

For how long?

Let's make it a full month while we're at it.

It'll be our first trip to Europe. We might not have another chance.

We'll just go!

Da-jung, keep your cool.

Whatever, I don't care.

It's no use staying dignified.

I'm 58 now.

People live until 100 these days, and it means I'm only halfway.

I'm still so young.

Geez, you're the same Kim Da-jung with an older face.

I know, right?

In my twenties before marriage, I was quite cheerful and lovely.

I could dance too.

Right, Europe will restore your youth.

Fine.

When should we go?

As soon as possible.

I'll ask Soo-bin to contact the person in charge.

She's gone backpacking in Europe before.

As soon as possible?

Mr. Lee.

No, I better address you as Advisor Lee now.

Let's grab dinner someday.

You can rest for about two months before you start working.

Are you listening to me? What are you thinking?

Hold on.

I need to call CEO Choi first.

I'd better make plans and meet him before we leave.

Go ahead.

Hello? This is CEO Choi Sang-hee's wife.

Pardon?

Oh, hello. This is Lee Sang-cheol.

CEO Choi and I have agreed to meet.

I know who you are,

but my husband's at a hospital now.

What, a hospital?

- I can let you sleep over once a week. - You're going to have a single bed.

So, where would I sleep?

On the floor, of course. Or on a sofa.

Sofa?

Hey, I'll get you a sofa.

No, a home theater.

There's this model I want.

I'll get to watch a sports game on a big screen with the volume up.

Geez, I'm jealous for nothing.

Get married. Then, you can move out…

Hey, it's true, so act self-conscious. It's so not like you.

Sorry. I'm way too excited.

It's fine.

It's nice to see your smile in a while.

Is it? Then, let's go shopping.

Stage four pancreatic cancer?

I even talked to him on the phone early last week.

He passed out last weekend and was hospitalized.

We didn't know until then.

How could this happen?

Goodness, thank you.

You used to be a general manager at Kyungsung T&C, right?

My father told me about you.

I've heard a lot about you from your father too.

That you are learning enthusiastically.

I'm Managing Director Choi Min-sik.

I see. Managing Director Choi Min-sik.

With what happened to my father,

I assumed you'd feel uneasy. So I asked to meet while you were here.

Goodness, his health comes first.

He should get surgery first.

He won't get surgery.

Surgery is meaningless at the moment.

The doctor agrees with us.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid the promise he made

cannot be kept.

I know my father was planning to hire you as an advisor.

But now that I'll succeed his place,

I don't share the same idea.

Well…

I was offered to be an advisor and accepted it

more than six months ago.

Until six months ago,

did you have any options other than my company?

You were simply lucky.

I believe my company didn't take away

another chance from you or made you miss another option.

You called me over to introduce this guy?

I told you during our joining consultation the other day.

It'd be difficult for you to date a five-star man.

So,

are you telling me to meet a man who's 17 years older than me?

This man…

Well, he may not seem like it,

but he actually keeps himself in good shape,

so he looks like he's in his thirties.

Try meeting him.

Those men with good backgrounds won't choose you.

So what can we do?

At least, this man

has agreed to meet you

because his priority is someone young and pretty.

He's a successful entrepreneur.

He's rich.

Okay, I'll meet him for the experience.

And you know what?

I'll make sure to have 100,000 subscribers.

It's an absolute no

to someone with nothing but money.

Simply changing bags can give a feminine vibe like this.

I'm young, pretty, from a good college, and my parents are set for later years.

Yet, she mistreats me because my job isn't stable.

Wait and see. I'll go viral and make it big online.

But how?

We're stuck with 13,500 subscribers. This is annoying.

Why do you think?

Just make videos in a swimsuit.

A lot of YouTubers do that. They undress and get dressed.

It seems daily and natural.

No way.

I can't do such a thing.

You know that.

Fine.

Then let's handle the money issue first.

We only have 153,000 won

in our joint bank account.

But to post the next video, we need to buy new clothes

and book a studio.

What do we do?

I guess I'll ask my dad for help.

Should I find another tutoring job?

I already hate tutoring so much.

We aren't even sure if we can do the next shoot.

How about we do it outdoors, not in a studio?

It's all right.

Sungil Textile isn't the only place I can go.

What a ridiculous punk. What a rude punk.

He's nothing like his father.

Even if other companies hadn't given me an offer,

six months would've been enough to find another place.

You're home.

Honey.

We need to buy some clothes for our trip.

You don't have enough casual clothes.

Oh, right. How's CEO Choi?

What's his illness?

Well, it's nothing.

Honey, what do you say we leave at the end of May?

It'll start getting hot by that time.

You think?

This is strange. You didn't mind leaving soon earlier.

Maybe because I retired not long ago,

I just find it a little uneasy.

That's not it.

Tell me the truth.

No, it's nothing. I'm telling you.

I know there's something.

Can you read my mind or what? What's wrong with you? Let go.

Did something happen to CEO Choi?

So that's it. What happened?

I'm telling you it's not…

Hold on.

This is Choi Min-sik of Sungil Textile.

I'm texting because it troubles me to have given you such sudden notice.

My father and I have agreed

to compensate you financially for this unfortunate situation.

Please give me your account number.

This guy is crazy.

What is this asshole saying…

What is this about?

Well…

CEO Choi is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer.

His son is taking over the company,

and he's canceled hiring me.

Happy now?

He's not even 40 yet, but this young brat wants to what?

Compensate me financially?

My account number?

What does this guy take me for?

Unbelievable.

He's ignored my text.

What do we do?

We better give him something to avoid future trouble.

Ji-hyeok.

I like you.

Let's go out.

We kind of make a cute couple together.

What is she doing over there?

I know you're surprised…

Anyway, Ji-hyeok!

Don't date anyone else. Go out with me!

- Hey! - Ouch!

- Ouch. - Are you out of your mind?

You said you wouldn't hit on a guy who's taken.

That's not it.

I heard he broke up.

So what? Are you practicing now?

Why did you have to come out?

You forgot to take your phone. Your mother kept calling, so I picked up.

Was it Kang-o?

Their regular company is having a sudden team dinner. They want you there.

Really?

Then I better ask if anyone can work part-time.

I already asked Hye-na.

Thank you.

I love how tactful you are.

I haven't been there for over a month because of the construction.

Geez. Thank you.

Gosh.

- I'll call you. Thank you. - Okay.

- Look at you. - Darn!

You're not even wearing an apron.

This is because of you. I wouldn't be doing this had you not resigned.

I saved four years' salary to open this place for you and Mom.

I'm not one to work at a place like this.

- You little… - Stop.

- Stop it. - Of course, you are.

Seriously.

Put on an apron and help Mom.

I'm letting you go today because I'm in a good mood.

Why would you be? You hardly make money.

You gave up the foreign firm What's your salary now?

What, a tenth?

It's only been a year since I started this business. That's why.

You ended up coming.

- What's the menu for today's reservation? - I'm almost done.

Now that she's here, I'll leave work after the big group.

Why that brat…

DAMGA CHARCOAL GRILL

More white kimchi…

- Would you like more salted seafood? - Yes.

Kang-o, for table two…

You must be tired.

What? No, I'm not tired at all.

You're such a strong woman.

I wonder what time Kang-o will come home.

A client asked me an estimate for an apartment remodeling.

Really? That's great.

Well…

Oh, my goodness.

Geez.

She needs to sleep in a bed to relieve fatigue.

Hold on.

- Goodness! - Ouch.

- Gosh, my head. - Goodness.

What the?

- Mom. What… - Eun-o.

What were you doing?

I was trying to carry you to your bed in your room.

- Me? - Yes.

- You're hilarious. - This is crazy.

Did you actually think you could carry me?

- I did. - You're impossible.

- Ow. - Gosh, are you okay?

- I'm sorry, honey. - It hurts.

Oh, dear. My goodness.

- Are you okay? - What in the…

Are you done?

- Email me the estimate when it's ready. - Sure thing.

By the way,

storage might become inconvenient if you get rid of the utility room.

Without expanding the kitchen, you can place all your small furniture.

I see this small room has fake walls.

I guess the previous landlord expended it.

What I want from you is just an estimate.

Yes, I know.

I'm just telling you what I think.

I see.

The screen doors are opening.

Please watch your step.

I have diabetes.

I'm experiencing diabetic shock. Please help.

Diabetic shock?

Well, just a moment.

This is chocolate. Have some.

Do you think you can get up?

Are you feeling better?

I'm okay. Thank you.

Shouldn't you go to a hospital?

Or you should at least call your family…

I had the chocolate medicine.

I carry it just in case my blood sugar drops.

And water.

Now that you're okay,

I'll get going.

Oh, no. No, thank you.

It's all right.

Oh, let me help you up.

Thank you, miss.

Don't mention it. Goodbye.

Wait. Excuse me. Wait.

This is too much.

SEND THREE MILLION WON TO JOO KYUNG-HEE?

I've wired three million won to your account.

- It came in. - I see. Good.

Wire the remaining 27 million won on the day you move in.

The rent is 1.2 million, yes?

All right. It's done.

Thank you.

REAL ESTATE CONTRACT

MONTHLY LEASE AGREEMENT

LEE JI-HYEOK

Just do it.

Of course I can. It's for something official.

Goodness. What are you doing here?

You asked me to come.

When did I?

EUN-O

To confirm the charges for the last construction…

You meant to ask me to come over for it, but I already came.

Let's go sign it, then.

Let's eat first.

I have no appetite yet.

You always have an appetite when it's time to eat.

- Let's go. I'm hungry. - Let me tell Soo-jung first.

How do you think I knew what time you'd arrive?

What are you doing? You're acting strange.

What do you mean?

It's not like you to order soup and rice separately.

Just stick to yourself.

Here you go. Eat up.

That's you, Eun-o.

Can't you

have something else other than gukbap with me?

You said it was your favorite.

If I crave something else, will you go eat it with me?

On the weekends?

Whatever you crave, eating comes first. Don't skip meals.

Didn't you hear me?

You said we should go eat something delicious.

Why did you change the topic without answering me?

You have no one else to eat with? I'm busy on weekends.

Even this weekend?

Is your coffee shop not doing well?

You don't even have to be there?

- That's not it. - Is it busy enough to pay you?

Sure, sales went up several times over.

Do you get paid enough?

- Enough for my living expenses. - Living expenses as in?

Well, transportation, food, sundries and snacks?

I hear you take only half the proposed paycheck.

Hyun-soo said so, and that you were funny.

I can't possibly take the full amount from her.

She invested a lot in the café.

Besides, she let me do its interior design,

helped me get a business license,

let me use the place as an office, and let me make money by working there.

She also lets me leave when I have construction to do.

That's incredible.

- It's very incredible. - Punk.

She invested in the café not because of you.

She changed the location for our club to last longer.

She needed someone for the café, and a junior fit.

In short, you're just someone needed for her sponsoring intentions.

The café's interior?

She only paid the actual expenses.

Helping you get a license and letting you use a corner as an office

are easy favors from a successful architect senior who owns a building.

You can simply be grateful to her.

It's not your place to receive only half the paycheck.

Did you just say it's not my place?

What about my place?

I know you're in no position to worry about saving face.

Eun-o.

Don't mistake this for pride.

Dang, there you go with your annoying self.

I was surprised since he hadn't appeared for half a year.

I mean… Hey, wait.

Hey, punk. Wait.

I should've suggested getting a full paycheck first.

- Goodness. - So?

You only had gukbap and left?

I couldn't even finish it.

You've got to drink the soup at the end to feel refreshed.

Come to think of it, you get along

very well with that cranky and stiff Ji-hyeok.

You had a fight with him when you should be telling him how you feel.

For a moment, I forgot about that.

Geez, it's one thing after another.

Ms. Ji, don't be mistaken.

You've never even gotten one thing done.

Hey.

Just tell him how you feel over a drink.

Tell him you have trouble at work and ask him out.

No.

I might end up drinking too much, making him carry me to my house,

and puking on his back again.

"Again"?

I did it twice in college.

Every time I broke up with my ex.

You're right.

You guys have been like real siblings.

Should I email him?

That's right.

I can express my feelings via email without facing him.

YOUR ETERNAL LOVE, JI EUN-O

SEND

SENDING…

YOUR EMAIL WAS SENT SUCCESSFULLY

Eun-o!

Your email was hacked.

Someone used your email to send me something weird.

Don't tell me…

- Geez, you're out of your mind. - Ouch!

- Do you sleepwalk or something? - It hurts!

What on earth is this nonsense?

No, emailing him won't do.

Then just don't tell him how you feel.

Give up.

What?

Honestly speaking, everyone knows that he's a misogamist.

You're 30, and if he agrees to go out with you, what will you do?

Love. Just love.

Are you a misogamist too?

It's not like you must marry someone you love.

Geez.

I thought if your confession worked,

you'd want to change his mind while dating so you could marry him.

No.

I just want him to know how I feel and to be someone special to him

because I like him.

KF COMPANY

LEASE AGREEMENT

No, Mother.

Mother, don't.

Your leg joints are weak.

You can't be doing this.

I did it carefully.

Come here.

- Come on now. - Gosh, I'm okay.

- Mother, here. - Goodness gracious.

- Sit down here. - Gosh.

If you sprain your ankle or something, it'll be bad.

One of your feet gave out, causing you to fall

while coming down the stairs last autumn.

Let me do the rest and stay seated here.

I just feel too ashamed.

Excuse me?

I only use my hands

for eating

and cleaning up after myself.

You help me trim bean sprouts sometimes.

We both know that's not exactly work.

These days, bean sprouts

can easily be trimmed just by washing them a few times.

You hate going to the senior community center,

so how about you try church?

And do what there?

Pray that I'll die soon?

Mother, that's not what I mean.

I won't do that. Don't worry.

I pray

to no one.

Not even God or Buddha.

Your father-in-law never stopped being sick

or hurt.

I prayed so much to every religion

to please take his life

so he wouldn't be a burden on my son and you.

Mother.

Oh, goodness.

Goodness.

He didn't die until he turned 90.

That damn old geezer.

Gosh, you're saying something you don't mean again.

When he passed away,

your pillow was wet with tears…

Goodness.

Oh, gosh.

- You're already here. - Hello, CEO Kim.

Please have a seat.

I was meaning to meet you before your retirement, Mr. Lee.

But you never made time for me.

Gosh, I had my retirement ahead of me.

I was busy with work and appointments.

Oh, right.

When do you start working at Sungil Textile?

The thing is…

Someone sent fruit to my husband.

It was delivered personally.

I guess it's a retirement gift from someone.

Mother, let me go get the call.

Please check who sent it.

Okay.

How pretty.

What a beautiful color.

It must be apples.

What is this?

Money?

Mother, who sent it?

Look, Da-jung. Isn't this money?

This money…

What in the…

FROM CHOI SANG-HEE AND CHOI MIN-SIK OF SUNGIL TEXTILE

I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.

My company has no positions available for you.

The economy is just bad these days.

When I heard you got an offer from Sungil Textile,

I thought you were very lucky.

Lucky?

I was lucky?

Ji-hyeok has lots of hobby stuff.

He'll probably take all these when he moves out.

Then I might have enough space to film.

I'm home.

Honey, why are you out here?

You silly--

What is this?

Well, honey.

I think it's from CEO Choi.

Why did you have to take it?

Can't you read?

It says,

"Choi Sang-hee and Choi Min-sik of Sungil Textile" right here!

But you still opened it?

And you even checked the envelope with cash in it!

You shouldn't have taken it!

Even if you did, we could've sent it back, but you opened it!

This is bad.

What were you thinking?

Do you have to make me a man who gladly took ten million won

in exchange for rescinding the job offer?

Couldn't you think better?

I'm sorry.

I thought it was something I ordered.

I opened it thoughtlessly.

I'm so sorry, honey, for this horrible mistake.

Bring it in before the kids come.

The wrappers too. Hurry up.

Okay.

Darn, follow me.

Pick up all the wrappers.

Poor Dad.

Wait. It's Ji-hyeok.

Ji-hyeok, did you hear it?

Keep your voice down. I did.

Did Sungil Textile call off hiring Dad as their advisor?

This often happens.

Poor Dad.

Let's go in after a while.

Just why did they cancel it?

Is it actually okay to do that?

That's how society works.

Dad was just lucky.

I feel so bad for Dad.

Do you think we should comfort him?

You heard him earlier.

Act like you don't know.

He'll probably tell us.

What's going to happen to Dad?

Ji-hyeok, maybe we'll have to support our parents.

Dad will find a way.

I don't get why he got mad at Mom.

REAL ESTATE CONTRACT

Wait. Did you sign a lease?

Yeah.

Today was your D-day.

Are you going to tell them later?

I can't tell them in this situation.

Then you won't move out?

You even signed a lease. You should move out.

I didn't say I wouldn't.

But I can't tell them today.

Ji-hyeok, we need you to empty this room.

ARCHITECT LEE JI-HYEOK

THE 20TH ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

What do you mean, Dad? It's my room.

Mom.

Ji-hyeok, the thing is…

Your grandparents are coming from Tongyeong to move in with us.

Your grandpa has trouble walking,

so they'll use this room. You can use Ji-wan's on the second floor.

What about Ji-wan?

The tenants downstairs are moving out.

He'll use that room.

Why must we live with them?

Your grandpa needs treatment at a big hospital in Seoul.

What about these, then?

I'm sorry, Ji-hyeok.

We have to take it all down and put up new wallpaper.

Why are you sorry?

It's nothing to be sorry for. Rooms are just rooms.

Kids.

I was offered an advisor position from Sungil Textile.

Your dad was offered

an advisor position in the same field even before retirement.

Do you have to make me a man who gladly took ten million won

in exchange for rescinding the job offer?

I knew it was too good when my family was

unusually lucky.

My family disheartens me all the time.

I'm sorry for the late call.

I'm afraid I can't rent that house.

Let me cancel the contract.

But why?

If you do, you'll lose your three million won.

I'm aware.

Text me your account number. I'll send you the brokerage fee.

Okay, bye.

Ji-wan.

Babe.

What's with your outfit? Is it a special day today?

Hop in.

You said I'd need an apartment with at least two rooms to marry you, right?

Yes, in Seoul.

Right, in Seoul.

So, I told you to save money.

We're stuck to dating until then.

You said so when I proposed to you a year ago.

I told you not to bring it up until it's possible.

No, the situation has changed.

You have three choices.

- Three? - Yes. First, living on

the second floor of my family's house.

There are two rooms.

We'll use all of them.

It's basically a private place.

Once my brother moves out, I'll have Soo-bin take my current room.

Second, renting a studio apartment with the money from my father

and borrowing my brother's wedding budget

to open a private PT studio.

I'll be a business owner then.

Third,

borrowing my brother's share to rent a low-rise apartment with two rooms.

I know all three choices

are not quite enough to meet your standards.

Still, you'll have

my huge love for you,

which no one else can offer.

Okay.

What's your choice?

I'll tell you the next time we meet.

Really?

Let's order some dessert now.

I'll have truffle vanilla ice cream.

Excuse me.

We'll have truffle vanilla ice cream for two.

Sure.

I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU

MOM

Did you take off?

Mom.

There's someone.

Someone's there. What do I do?

What should I do?

Stay calm.

I'll send Driver Jeong in. Come out with him.

Okay.

He doesn't drive on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What are you doing here, Eun-o?

What a coincidence.

I know it's a bit weird to say that.

Yes, very weird.

You've been to my neighborhood several times.

Oh, right. I have.

I've been here several times.

Did something happen?

Something?

There's nothing going on,

but you followed me?

Of course not.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

I heard you broke up with your girlfriend.

How do you… know that?

You probably don't have a new girlfriend yet

since you recently broke up.

- Eun-o. - I want you

to be 100% serious about what I'm about to tell you.

Ji-hyeok.

Go out with me.

Hey, stop joking.

I'm not joking.

I'm talking about dating, not getting married.

Who would buy it if you blurt it out like that?

Let's go. I'll get you a taxi.

Ji-hyeok.

You knew, didn't you?

That I have a crush on you.

I knew it.

I assumed you'd know.

What are you even talking about?

What do you know?

What you're doing is

very flustering, dumbfounding, and ridiculous.

I wonder if they invented scentless liquor.

You're being talkative. That's not like you.

I'll get angry for real.

I like you.

- You… - I mean it.

Follow me.

Listen carefully. I won't repeat myself.

I've liked you and waited for a long time.

So, you should give me a chance too.

No, I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

In short, I'm turning you down.

But you shouldn't treat me differently.

Why turn me down without even giving me a chance or giving a try?

It's not like you.

You dated all the women who asked you out.

I didn't date all of them.

I dated only those whom I found agreeable.

Why would you not date me?

Must I tell you why I'm turning you down?

You never treated me like a woman in the first place.

Exactly. I don't see you as a woman.

I knew you'd say that.

Your view on me may change as we date.

Why would I date someone who's not even attractive to me?

Because I'm Ji Eun-o.

What?

Look. I am Ji Eun-o, not some other girl.

I'm not someone you can easily push away. I know that.

"I saw you only as a junior."

"I've never found you attractive."

"I easily get tired."

"I don't want to ruin our friendship by breaking up."

These won't work on me.

I'm surprised you're smart in this sense.

So, if you won't give me a chance…

If you won't even give it a try,

then convince me.

When you date someone, it's not out of love.

You choose someone interesting with the same hobbies.

I know that much.

Eun-o.

The one girl you liked is Eun-joo

who you broke up with when you were a junior.

You didn't think I'd see through you this much, did you?

Eun-o.

Your behaviors. Your feelings.

It's nothing.

Don't act serious. You're scaring me.

I know how I feel.

Wouldn't I also know how I feel?

Are you sure…

I can't even be a dating candidate?

Even in your dating life, with no marriage in mind,

there's no space at all for me?

Bingo. That's right, punk.

Knock it off.

What?

Stop joking around if you don't want me to cut ties with you.

Don't take it as a joke, and be a little sorry, at least!

I'm sorry.

No.

Don't be sorry.

Otherwise, I'll have to accept your rejection.

Eun-o.

Being stubborn won't solve a matter like this one.

I'm not being stubborn. I just don't understand.

Really?

Then…

let me tell you the actual reason.

You and I…

aren't compatible.

Excuse me?

You aren't compatible… with me.

I don't understand it.

I was nice and kind to you for your attitude in life.

But don't cross the line, and know your place.

We're not compatible?

I don't have to give a chance to someone

who I think is incompatible with me, do I?

Right, Eun-o?

How cruel of you.

Can't you see Eun-o's struggling?

Did you tell Eun-o?

You have a crush on her!

You didn't even let me express my feelings.

Eun-o.

- Did you know? - Let me go give it back to them.

Don't bring it to them.

Mr. Lee!

It's unsophisticated to do this without the handover process!

You'll be an assistant manager even if you quit.

Did you resign with any plans?

There's no reason not to marry someone without love.

Mr. Lee.
