EPISODE 15

Jeong-in.

Are you going to...

leave us too?

If that's the case, it's still not too late.

It's okay.

What...

What do you mean?

Hey.

What are you trying to say?

Why are you being like this?

Can I trust...

how you feel about me?

Tell me.

Will you never...

Are you sure

your feelings for me will never change?

Are you saying

you can't trust me?

I'm asking if I can trust you.

Do you think I'll change?

I don't know.

I have no way of knowing.

You're too drunk now. Let's just talk tomorrow.

You can't answer my question.

I see.

Jeong-in.

He just drank way too much today.

Please try to understand.

Just today?

Or will this happen again?

What else does he do when he's drunk?

Any other drinking behaviors?

Has Ji-ho been hiding complaints about me?

No, not at all.

Then isn't it even more odd that he's being like that suddenly?

It's...

To tell you the truth, Yu-mi...

Who is that?

Is she

Eun-u's mom?

-I don't know if I should tell you, but-- -Don't.

I don't want to hear it.

I'll get going.

Jeong-in, what happened?

-I'll call you. -Hey.

What's going on?

-I said, I'll call you. -What happened?

Jeong-in.

-Jeong-in, hey. -I'm really okay.

I'll call you. I'm sorry.

GI-SEOK

WOORI PHARMACY

I drank a little at home.

While I was drinking...

What is this about?

I just came to see you.

You thought of me because you drank?

Well, that can be a reason too.

Where have you been?

You know the answer.

Can you really accept me back?

I betrayed you once.

Do you think you can still get back together with me?

What if I betray you again?

What do you mean?

Just as you heard.

My feelings might change again, you know.

I've done it once, so the second time should be easier.

What do you think?

Can you trust me?

Yes, I can.

Why isn't Mr. Yu here yet?

Shall I try calling him?

Don't bother him. He said he'll be late.

-Hello. -Hello.

Oh, no problem.

YEONG-JAE

-Hey. -Are you at work?

No, not yet.

You drank so much last night.

Last night...

How did Jeong-in get home?

You don't remember anything?

Not everything, but...

I didn't say anything weird to her, right?

Have you lost your mind?

You told her that you can't trust her

and asked her if she'll leave you and Eun-u.

I did? I said that to Jeong-in?

Then what? Would you have said that to me?

She seemed to have misunderstood you, so I actually mentioned Yu-mi--

That was so unnecessary. Why did you tell her that?

I couldn't tell her because she didn't let me.

She didn't want to hear it.

Why did you show it if you wanted to hide it?

You went nuts.

Your phone is buzzing.

-I guess the person hung up. -Oh, thanks.

You know what? The team manager didn't like my report again.

It really pissed me off,

so I just tweaked a few things and took it back to him.

-He raved about it, didn't he? -He sure did!

He always does that.

He caught me doing that once.

Do you know what he said?

"As they say,

the first is always the best.

The first choice you make is always the right choice."

You know him better than we do.

I dealt with that many times.

What? Did you think it'd be Ji-ho?

You stayed up all night but came to work

and even skipped lunch.

So, what's the conclusion?

I can't come to a conclusion.

What is bothering you the most?

The boy's mom?

What if he's still hung up on her?

That's nonsense.

If he has even an ounce of feelings left,

Ji-ho is... Gosh, I'd say he's so foolish. Does he have no self-esteem?

Then what about Gi-seok?

That's just obsession.

Ji-ho said he can't trust me,

but Gi-seok said he can.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Maybe it's meant to be the other way around.

Now, you're going too far.

Are you going to put the blame on Ji-ho and run away?

I'll consider that option.

This one thing is clear to me.

I think I only saw what was right in front of me.

But you see,

knowing everything about the person's past

isn't always a good thing.

Sometimes, it's better to just play dumb and let bygones be bygones.

While being suspicious of each other?

Ji-ho may be okay with that.

But obviously not you, knowing your personality.

WOORI PHARMACY

-Have a nice day. -Thank you. You too.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

-Ms. Yun Mi-sun. -Yes.

This is...

-Please take them with food. -Okay.

Hey.

-Let's talk somewhere else. -What's it about?

Hello?

Hey, Jeong-in.

Hey.

I was busy, so I couldn't call you back until now.

That's okay.

You got home safely last night, right?

Well...

For some reason, I got drunk...

You're mad at me, right?

I drank quite a bit last night.

I know I made a mistake. I know what I said.

Well...

I'm never like that though. But yesterday...

Anyway, let's meet. Let's talk in person.

I can come over now.

Or do you want to come over?

No, let's just meet at the cafe.

Hi, Mom.

I told you to either come by or call me so that I can visit you.

Sorry, I've been a little busy.

What's up? Did something happen?

-Did Dad say something again? - He made such a fuss.

By the way, why do you sound so down?

No, I'm fine.

I'll see you after your class.

That class ended a while ago.

Oh, right.

I called you to talk about...

that guy.

Let's talk another time.

I'll come by on my day off. We can talk then.

Why wait until--

Mom, I can't really talk on the phone now.

I'll call you when I visit you. I have to go.

I said something foolish to Jeong-in.

What did you say?

Apparently, I asked her if she's going to leave me and Eun-u.

You were thinking that she might?

-No, of course not. -Then why did you talk such nonsense?

You know how drunk I was last night.

It's driving me nuts.

You seem human for a change. Well done.

What do you mean?

You've been living like a robot as though your world will be turned

upside down if you let loose a little.

It does make you look trustworthy, but not human.

-So that's wrong? -It's not a good thing.

What you've been showing her isn't your bare face.

Try and refute it.

Well, before that... What do I do about Jeong-in now?

Even you are burdened by your past,

so it must be a lot worse for Jeong-in.

Don't expect her to understand everything. That'd be the worst kind of selfishness.

Do you have nothing to say? Or is there nothing that you can say?

Shall I rephrase my question?

I'm asking if you have no excuse

or if you can't even come up with one because you don't remember anything.

I'd say it's both.

Isn't it impossible to have

no recollection of anything even if you were very drunk?

I know this will sound like an excuse,

but I said what I said because I was too drunk.

Do you think I actually thought that of you?

Then what did you think of me?

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

But I've never once thought you'd do such a thing.

I'm serious.

Leaving me and Eun-u...

I'm too embarrassed to even bring it up.

I've never even imagined doing such a thing.

See?

But the thing is,

you asked if I, too, would leave you.

"Are you going to leave us too?" That was your question.

I know that I'm nitpicking.

I may be reading too much into it.

But to be honest, the impression I got from it was...

"Aren't you just like her?" That's what it sounded like.

I know you didn't mean it that way.

Like I said, it's just the impression I got.

I never thought

your wound must've completely healed

just because some time has passed.

Even so, I can't just put it behind me thinking that it is

something you said unwittingly because you were drunk.

I don't know how I can...

This is so...

This is so frustrating for me because I don't remember everything.

That's why I can't even give an excuse,

try to refute it, or apologize properly.

I don't even know where to begin to apologize to you.

What if it leads to more misunderstandings?

It's seriously driving me nuts.

I don't want an apology.

Hold on.

Like you said,

no matter how hard I try not to be bogged down by my past and scars,

I can't help feeling insecure.

The anxiety that I didn't even know I had came out. That's all.

There's nothing more to it.

That's how I am too.

I betrayed my boyfriend,

and you witnessed the whole thing.

-Now, you're going too far. -I feel insecure, just like you do.

I know

that you don't completely distrust me. I know that,

but even though I know that...

I can't help feeling uneasy.

I wish I could open up my heart and show you.

I tried to push you away thinking you're too good for me.

And that woman went through all that trouble just to be with me.

How could I have doubted your feelings for me?

Not you.

I'm doubting myself.

I told you

that I coveted you.

I know you thought about pushing me away,

but I only thought I couldn't let you go.

Perhaps I jumped into this

way too quickly because of my greed.

Hi.

Assemblyman Jang wants to have dinner with us.

Hey, it's not like she's the only woman in the world.

Move on already. Don't be a clingy loser.

I need to redeem myself,

so I'm not ready yet.

"Yet"?

I guess you've decided to move on.

It won't take long.

As for the dinner with Assemblyman Jang, try to postpone it a little.

Are you open to meeting his daughter?

Why not?

It'll depend on how things get sorted out though.

What can I do to make you forgive me?

I told you. The problem is me, not you.

I'm not just saying it to make you feel worse.

I love you.

I thought our love was all that mattered.

I cluelessly thought I should be able to understand everything...

No.

I didn't even think. I just assumed everything would work out.

But...

even though you brought up your past

only for a short moment,

my heart sank.

As if I encountered what I've been trying to avoid.

That's why I realized...

my feelings

may not be there yet.

Regardless of the situation,

whenever you catch your own shortcoming,

you want to run from it at first.

That's how I feel now.

I think I need some time to reflect on myself.

I know I could let it slide,

and you may resent me for not being understanding,

but I'm sorry.

I know I can lie, but I can't even do that now.

I don't want to act cool

or act like I'm okay.

I don't want you to do that either.

You're right.

I've been fooling myself and others,

not because I'm still hung up on my past,

but because of my fear.

It's a fact that I can't deny.

Still, I can't--

I'm not saying I don't understand how you feel.

Then you probably know how I feel now.

You must also know what I want to say.

Lee Jeong-in.

I'll say it again now that I'm completely sober.

Don't...

leave us.

Hello?

Dad.

Yes.

When are you coming, Dad?

When will you come home?

Come soon.

Okay, I'll come now.

I was surprised too.

She actually consoled me.

"Would I be able to do that if I were her?"

That was all I could think on my way back home.

Your dad didn't even believe me when I told him.

How could anyone believe that?

I never talked about it, but I was very worried as well.

How could she be so understanding and kind?

You have to thank her.

At a time like this, you should really try to be more confident.

She chose to be with you because she trusts you.

You have to look dependable.

What's with that reaction?

It's nothing.

I'm sure he's more surprised than we were.

Dad.

-Yes? -Ms. Lee.

You should go to sleep.

Can we go out with Ms. Lee again?

Okay. Go to sleep now.

-You can take this. -It's okay. You drink that.

By the way, how's Ji-ho doing?

He's doing pretty well.

He's doing well?

Yes.

I see.

You knew about it?

Sort of.

Who told you?

Did Jeong-in tell you?

Be there for your buddy. He already had it tough to begin with.

Mom.

Why do you look so weary?

Nothing. I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I was going to come by, but work's been busy.

I'm not here because I got tired of waiting.

Are you feeling sick or something?

No, I'm fine.

Wait here. I'll go get some coffee for us.

I don't know if this is the right thing to do.

To tell you the truth, I'm still not sure.

But you say that you can't be happy without him,

so nothing else should matter.

I haven't been properly introduced to him yet,

but meeting his mom told me a lot about him.

You still have to jump over many hurdles.

Marriage won't be the end.

It'll be harder than what you're expecting.

There may come a time when you'll regret your decision.

Gosh, my goodness.

Someone might think you're crying because you're upset.

I know this whole ordeal hasn't been easy for you.

But you'll still need to go through hoops.

My approval alone is only the beginning.

I know.

Hold on.

There's...

something wrong, isn't there?

I'm just happy, that's all.

I'm happy, Mom.

Thank you.

Your dad

never listens to me anyway,

so you two should talk this through yourselves.

Don't be mean to him though.

What?

Because of his situation,

he won't be able to speak confidently.

That's not the case.

Of course, it is.

You're no better than him.

Between you two, you lack more.

How so?

Do you know what it's like to be a parent?

The biggest lesson in life

is taught when you raise kids.

He's maturer than you are.

What was that?

Nothing.

Goodness.

You can head home if you have plans.

I don't.

I really don't.

He's back to his old self again.

Don't.

I knew you'd give me that look.

My sister called it quits first?

It's better to say they're on a break.

Ji-ho's insecurity that he wasn't aware of came bursting out,

and Jeong-in took it the wrong way.

So? What did Ji-ho say?

Nothing. He's just depressed.

He feels ashamed.

And he's going to stay that way?

What can he do? It's all up to Jeong-in now.

Jeez, they're one and the same.

What do you mean?

My sister has experienced enough trauma herself.

What do you think will happen?

I, of course, understand Ji-ho,

but I get why Jeong-in is upset too.

We should call it quits too.

You're his friend, remember?

I can't be disloyal to my sister.

What?

It's our family motto. You have a problem with that?

Why do they dictate our relationship?

It does in my book.

This is totally absurd.

Why is that though?

Hold on.

I thought the sudden invite would entail backup.

Not even Jae-in's home.

What's going on?

I didn't want her to hear us,

so I told her to give us space.

My mouth hurts from repeating this.

I won't divorce you.

Our divorce...

is inevitable.

All that's left is whether you'll just end up a divorcé

who gave up his paternal rights

or be charged with assault--

-Hey. -I'm not finished.

On top of that,

I can charge you with sexual assault as well.

The choice is yours.

Must I patronize you again?

Think about after the baby is born.

Would it like a criminal for a dad?

Could you say it shamelessly?

Waver my paternal rights?

You're basically asking us to deny each other.

Tell me if that's even possible.

It can be from the heart.

Once the kid grows up to tell what's right from wrong,

it'll deny your existence.

This is your last chance.

Fill out the divorce papers and bring them to me.

Leave. Leave already!

Must I call the cops?

Okay, fine. Let's get a divorce.

I'll agree to it.

I'm the one divorcing you, you prick.

Right, whatever.

But not until the baby is born.

Haven't you...

heard of prenatal education?

I'm only looking out for you.

Cut the bullshit.

You have no right to see this baby. Now, let go.

8 P.M. TIME OF LOVE

Tell Seo-in I'll be over next week.

Shouldn't Ji-ho be a priority?

Your acting has gotten better.

I need time to think.

You're better at lying too.

Why think when he's taken over your thoughts?

You should get going.

This is why those who've been hurt can be harsher.

What are you babbling on about?

When Gi-seok's father disapproved of you,

your pride was wounded deeply.

Ji-ho's in a tougher spot,

but you're turning your back on him as well.

I was just as wounded by him too.

I'm self-reflecting as it is,

but how could I not be annoyed by those words?

I'm not spineless, you know.

All right, fine. Continue to be like that then.

Why not just resign?

For the first time, I've started to hate my job.

People always ask me twice to confirm what my job is,

and I can't afford to make any mistakes.

It's not like I can break free from that routine.

It's...

It's just what my life is like.

The thought just came to me that's all.

No one's stopping you, but yourself.

I didn't mean it like that.

What?

Are you and Jeong-in over? As in completely?

-What now? - Even Gi-seok knows.

I can't believe her. Did she already tell him?

Are they getting back together?

I'm heading out for a moment.

No.

I said you can't.

Ji-ho.

This is a surprise.

I'd like to talk. Can we meet?

I'm afraid I have plans tonight.

Maybe next time. I'll call you when I have the time.

I'm downstairs. It won't take long.

Hey.

Why are you here at this hour?

I'm not here for you, so get back to work.

Gi-seok then?

Is it because I called?

I was only rambling. I don't even know if it's true or not.

Don't cause any trouble, all right?

-Hello. -Jeez.

You must be quite desperate

to seek me out like this.

Well, go on and talk.

I told you before

to let Jeong-in be.

Who says I did anything?

Did Hyeon-su say so?

What can I do to cut you out from her life?

You know,

you should watch what you say.

I said before that I will only let it slide once.

Have you forgotten that?

You sure have a bad memory for someone who's smart.

I told you...

that I'd give up if you do as well.

Do you think you can

get back together with Jeong-in if I give up?

I never said I would.

Yu Ji-ho, you bastard.

What?

Why do you seem startled?

You know me.

My goal is taking you down.

Still,

I'd likely take Jeong-in if she came back to me.

I was going to marry her after all.

It's a way of giving back to our parents

who still want us to marry.

There'd be nothing bad about any of it.

You don't know her.

She isn't the type

to be satisfied with just love.

Look who she dated for all this time.

Doesn't it tell you anything?

You won't be able to handle her.

Your crappy romance

isn't anywhere up to her level.

Do I seem like a bastard?

I became this way because of her.

This is how I turned out to be, but for you...

I feel terrible for you.

Your future is already drawn.

If you're truly concerned about me, then thanks.

What I'll say now isn't a warning.

It's a threat.

You're just as smart, so I'm sure you'll remember.

I said I would let other things slide,

but not when it concerns my son.

This again?

Don't you realize

that your son is one of your worst weaknesses?

When put to good use, it can be my biggest weapon.

The photos you illegally took

of me and my son.

How should I utilize that?

From what I hear, your father had them taken.

I let it slide at the time because of Jeong-in's sake.

It's not because I'm spineless.

Are you challenging

my father of all people?

Like I said, I'm not scared of anything.

I'm never scared when it comes to my boy.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR HAPPY LATER YEARS

Oh, hi, Gi-seok.

Hi, it's me. I'm sorry for not being in touch.

It's fine. I know you're just as busy.

Could you perhaps spare me some time tonight?

Why is that?

Is there something to talk about?

Of course.

You said you'd settle on a date for me and Jeong-in.

Sir?

Oh, right.

A wedding date, of course. I should settle on one.

All right. When and where should we meet today?

-Take care. -Bye.

WOORI PHARMACY

Welcome.

Excuse me.

What can I get you?

-Hello. -Hi, it's been a while.

Ji-ho isn't in at the moment.

I see.

-Goodbye then. -Would you like a cup of tea?

No, I'm good, but thanks for the offer.

Take care then.

Right. Well, I'm heading out as we speak,

so you can leave in about 20 minutes.

The timing would be right.

Sure thing. I'll see you later.

Is Mr. Kwon still here?

Yes, he had some business to take care of.

I see.

There he comes.

-What are you still doing here? -I'm on my way out too.

How's the injury?

I'm fine. It's only a sprain.

You should get going then.

Do you have any plans today?

I'm sorry, but I'm meeting someone.

Did you have something to tell me?

Is it just me who have things to say?

-All right. You can get going. -Sure.

What do you want for dinner?

They have everything here, just name it.

What's wrong?

I'll take a rain check.

But you came all the way here.

All right, fine. I won't ask you what happened.

That's not it. I should hurry back to the pharmacy.

It's close to closing time anyway.

Still. Besides, I'm not even hungry.

I'll see you around.

Are you that hungry?

This is more than what two people can eat.

I thought it'd help you recover faster.

Then don't cause me any problems.

I wanted to apologize too.

Anyway, Jeong-in's done with wandering.

What did I tell you? She just pitied him, that's all.

Is she coming back to you then?

That's up to you.

Decide on a position for her father.

Are you serious?

Sir, you're here.

What's going on?

Well...

I didn't realize that I'd set an appointment on the same day.

I only figured it out once I arrived here.

I was going to call, but you'd probably be on your way so...

Please have a seat first.

Right.

Here you go.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

Was this your plan for tonight?

Why didn't you tell me you were meeting my son?

All these years, I've learned what to talk about and not.

Ye-seul, I'm sorry I'm late.

-Was it busy today? -Yes.

I see. I'm sorry.

It's fine. I'll see you tomorrow.

-I'm sorry. I met Ye-seul outside and-- -This is a place of work, you know.

I apologize.

I can only be understanding to a point.

Don't you think this was selfish?

Hye-jeong...

Do better, all right?

Lock up well.

We did it!

What are you doing here?

Where were you today?

Where were you?

I had somewhere to be.

You must be at ease

to run errands like this.

Let's go. We'll talk somewhere else.

About what?

Aren't you here to talk?

I'm not.

Then why are you here?

To buy medicine.

What kind?

What is it?

A medicine that can cure

the need to smack someone

and a truly worried and upset heart.

Forget it if you've got none.

Gi-seok probably has skeletons in his closet too.

If I had known about this, I would've taken photos too.

Are you challenging me?

-I'm done serving you! -Are you insane?

What do you mean Yu Ji-ho isn't a decent man?

He threatened me with the photos that were taken.

He could be after money.

My mom wants to meet you, Ji-ho.

I'd like to bring Eun-u, too.

I should've thought of that first. Sure, let's do that.

I like it that you think this is our decision.

What do you say to being a director after retirement?

I appreciate the offer,

but I'd like some time to think about it.

Are you still sulking?

Is there no chance for you and Gi-seok anymore?

Just be patient with me, Dad.

You'll soon see me live a happy life.

Please believe in me.
