I can eat about three in a sitting.

Ohh! Say there's a big one

Of course, I prefer a big, fleshy one.

So, you like them big.

There's more to it than just the size.

Fine.

Don't work with me.

I refuse the job.

I'm sorry, but to be honest,

I'm sorry, but to be honest,

I'm picky about who I work with myself.

I might as well say this
since I won't get the job.

You there.

Yes, you. The man who just pointed.

You might have the advantage here,
but outside, I have the upper hand.

you caused a stir and got kicked out.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

You're my only employee.

I'll manage to pay you somehow.

[woman] I doubt that.

We scored zero projects this month.

How will you pay this month's rent?

Sir.

Could you lower

I lowered it already.

Yes, but the case is transparent,

You can't mind that, too. Who will notice?

A reprint will just cost you more.

I know the difference.

I can't sell anything to a customer

You're too picky.

Forget the wedding and whatnot.

I wish I could call it all off.

I wish I could call it all off.

Oh, Meri.

You can't just register your marriage
and say it's done.

-It's a hassle, but a necessary one.
-[Meri] Mom.

-It's a hassle, but a necessary one.
-[Meri] Mom.

The problem is that there's so much to do.

I have so little money to spare,

but Wooju's mother
keeps going on about a hotel.

It's driving me up the wall.

If she has the money for a hotel wedding,
she should contribute to our rent.

Try to understand. [chuckles]

Where are you?

-Did you have dinner?
-Yes.

I ate.

I'm at our new place.

I come by whenever I can

Did you have dinner, Mom?

I did. What about Wooju?

He moved in already.

He didn't call to tell you?

He must know we couldn't afford this place
without your help.

He must know we couldn't afford this place

I gave you the money
so he'd be good to you.

Let me give you a word of caution.

Don't nag him for not having
contributed to the deposit.

Don't nag him for not having

You shouldn't discourage a man.

I cater to him in every way.

"Sweet Jenny 97."

-What?
-She liked every single post of yours.

SWEET_JENNY97
YOUR FACE IS ALL I SEE

You follow each other. Who is that?

[chuckles]

She's just a colleague of mine.

Didn't I mention her? I bet I did.
[clears throat]

She went to school in Hong Kong.

She went to school in Hong Kong.

Did you sleep with her?

[coughs]

[chuckles nervously] Hey.

What's up with you?

I should give it back.

You were there overnight,

You were there overnight,
so I don't need to ask what went on.

What do you think?

If you keep denying it,

should I cause a scene at your office
like some soap opera?

[spits, coughing]

Hey.

[sniffles]

Fine.

I'll come clean.

I'm Adam, who fell for a snake's lies.

I partook of the forbidden fruit. So what?

-[café patrons murmuring]

-[café patrons murmuring]
-[♪ ominous sting]

"So what?"

Why do you think I did?

It was because I was under so much stress.

My investors call every day
about profit margins,

while I'm just a newbie
with a wedding coming up.

Don't you see how much is on my mind?

I was already on edge,
and you nagged me so much.

You called, texted, and bossed me about
with the wedding prep.

[laughing] I felt like I was being fried.

[laughing] I felt like I was being fried.

Am I getting married on my own? [echoes]

I work full-time, too.

-I'm busy, too!

I'm sorry.

[♪ dramatic guitar music playing]

I'm a jerk.

[café patrons gasp]

I deserve a beating!

Say a number. How many slaps?

[sighs]

I know you have a glib tongue.

But not today.

I won't let you off like that today.

Meri. Let's think rationally.

We booked a wedding hall,
got a marriage license,

We booked a wedding hall,
got a marriage license,

and rented an apartment.

Leave me, and you'll be a divorcée
even without a wedding.

Wow, isn't that so unfair?

It is unfair!

Right? That makes zero sense.

That girl, Jenny...

That girl, Jenny...

She's just a fling.

And you and I will be together forever.

It was a one-time mistake,

and I ended it with her already.

About tomorrow's business trip.

Did I ever ask to see your phone?

No.

No.

I have a bad feeling.

If I don't see this now,
I might doubt you forever and ever.

Move your hand.

What are you doing?

It was my section chief.

Let me see it.

It was my section chief, okay?

Exactly, that's why I want to see.

Why see my section chief's...

-Hey.

He stomped on her hand.

-What's going on?
-Is she okay?

[Wooju] Why did you try to see my phone?

[Wooju] Why did you try to see my phone?

You shouldn't cross the line
however close you are with someone.

Let's see your hand.

[breathing heavily]

"The line?"

You're the one who crossed the line.

That apartment is ours,
and we're soon to be married.

You brought another woman over.

[♪ melancholy music playing]

[♪ melancholy music playing]

[voice shaking] For seven months
after you got your new job,

you always worked late
or had a team dinner.

You were so hard to reach.

You even forgot my birthday
and our anniversary.

I got fitted for a wedding dress on my own
because you were too busy.

I couldn't bear...

the thought of letting
our five years go to waste.

So, I told myself to ignore everything
and just marry you.

So, I told myself to ignore everything

Oh, no.

What do I do?

He's right.

He's right.

[breathes deeply]

We are complete strangers now.

But even so.

We only just broke up.

Is that all he could say?

I haven't even submitted
our divorce decree.

Hi, Mom.

Hey, Meri.

I braised some yellow croaker
and seasoned some cucumbers.

Wooju's parents haven't moved, right?

Wooju's parents haven't moved, right?

What?

You don't have to send them food.

Let's keep the good food to ourselves.

Why cook for them?
It's extra work for you.

Why cook for them?
It's extra work for you.

I made a little extra while I was at it.

Cooking a bit more food
doesn't wear my hands or feet.

Just don't send them anything.

Why would you keep sending them stuff?

MERI

What's up with you?

[gasps] Do they not like my food?

No, it's not that.

No, it's not that.

There's nothing else I can do for them.

I want to do what I can for you and them.

I can only do this while I'm still able.

I can only do this while I'm still able.

I don't have much longer.

My shoulders are beginning
to ache, you know.

-Mom.

I'm sorry.

What the heck?

Have you finally grown up
now that it's time to get married?

Are you really fine?

I'm fine. It hurts a bit, but I'm okay.

I'm fine. It hurts a bit, but I'm okay.

Let's go to a hospital just in case.

I'm good.

I'll give you my number, then.

See a doctor, then call me.

"Take responsibility?"

Aah!

You want a settlement?

Whatever. Hand it over right now.

Fine.

How much do you want?

How much do you want?

A hundred million won.

It's my mom's money.

[Meri] Hey.

Aren't you being too hard on me?

Only when you need help?

You've been back for a month,
