EPISODE 19

-No, talk with me instead. -About what?

Why should I hear you out when you've been ghosting me?

-Am I invisible? -I could ask you the same thing.

I was not joking when I said we're done.

You ignored me even though I told you numerous times,

so don't yell at me.

You have no right.

Whatever I do, whomever I meet,

you have no right to judge me.

Why did you meet my father then?

To tell him it was over.

I told him that we failed as a couple.

And that prick's your success story?

You're mistaking pity for love.

Watch your mouth.

Ji-ho, no!

Hey, I said you'd only get one pass.

-Want to go at it then? -Don't.

-Get over here. -Ji-ho, please let go!

Stop it.

-Don't. -Let go of me.

-Bring it on. -Stop.

-Come on. Do your worst. -Ji-ho...

-What are you waiting for? -Hey!

What?

-Wait for me in the car. -Get over here.

Hey, let go of me.

Jeong-in.

Jeong-in!

Get back over here!

Talk to me instead. It's me you're pissed off at anyway.

-Let go of me. -Maybe next time, all right?

You're pushing your luck.

Let's leave Jeong-in out of this.

Stay back.

-Don't! -Get off me!

-Just talk it out, all right? -Get over here.

Let go.

Just a month after Eun-u was born,

his mother disappeared.

It made me furious.

While searching for her,

I promised myself to lash out on her.

That's all I thought about.

Worries swept over me as time passed.

"What if she won't come back?

Then how do I raise Eun-u alone?

Do I have to give him up for adoption?"

I stooped down so low

because all I could think about

was how desperate I was.

It was only after a while

that I realized she had her reasons too.

She could've been overwhelmed to the point that I couldn't comprehend.

I still couldn't understand her,

but letting myself admit that much

set my heart at rest.

When I said that we should take our time,

it's not because I'm generous

or the nicest man alive.

It's just that Gi-seok needs time to let this sink in.

Us being understanding and considerate doesn't really matter to anyone.

To others, I'm a woman who's seeing two men,

and you're the guy coming onto a woman who's taken.

Why should we be seen that way?

I don't want that.

I'd rather cut you from my life.

I'm not one to put on a calm face

when I'm exploding in the inside.

Just like how you don't hold back when it comes to Eun-u,

I can't sit by and take it while others

trample on my feelings and decisions.

I'd rather face it and let it shatter

than avoid the situation.

Then why did you stop me earlier?

Because I was embarrassed.

Two men were growling over one woman.

Passersby would've thought I'm some kind of princess

or an heiress of a rich CEO.

It looked ridiculous.

Do you have work tomorrow?

No.

What?

How have you been?

As if you care. What do you want?

Come on.

Oh, please. You're the one who said you needed to study.

Did you pass the exam?

What's with your other arm?

Is that your exam certificate?

No.

Don't tell me you bought me flowers.

I just saw some while I was passing by.

How much was it?

-Well, 5,000 won. -So it was 2,000 won.

-Actually, 3,000 won. -Don't you have to study?

I studied hard today. I was at the academy until now

even when there weren't any classes.

Good for you, I guess.

So what are you doing here?

-You said I was getting in the way. -When?

I overreacted to the whole thing, and now I feel bad about it.

I was hoping to clear the air.

-Do you have some money? -What? Money?

I do. I have some left from buying

-the flowers. -Save it.

Let's go upstairs for some tea.

I can't!

How can I after what it led to last time?

I'd rather not.

As if.

I know about the pharmacist.

Thanks. Wait, this is too much.

It's for the flowers.

Oh, right.

-Here. -Thank you.

So...

Where's your sister?

With the pharmacist.

Is his son something to be ashamed of?

Why hide the truth?

You don't have to, you know.

Of course, I know that. It's his personal life though

and not something to blabber about.

Why are you getting defensive?

-I wasn't telling you off. -I didn't say that.

Ji-ho and...

And what?

Is it okay for your sister to be with him?

Love isn't something you can control.

Have you lived here since you were little?

Yes, since elementary school.

I see. You must've been a neat boy.

I would've been even if my parents didn't run a dry cleaner's.

My mother likes everything neat and tidy.

I see.

Who do you take after?

My good qualities are from my parents,

but the others I picked up myself.

You're a sweet son.

Hardly. I've caused them so much trouble.

-Can we sit? -Sure. Go ahead.

This place feels oddly familiar.

It brings back memories too.

It's a familiar place, that's why.

The pharmacy too?

Come to think of it, you've never felt like a stranger either.

You were drunk that first day.

Don't kill the mood.

It was the opposite for me.

I was fascinated by how innocent you were.

Am I not anymore?

That side of you is completely gone.

There's some instant coffee here.

I like the vibe of this place.

A drink would be perfect.

Would you like one?

You have drinks here?

Probably.

Hold on.

What did I do wrong?

I did everything right by her

while we were dating.

Jeez.

Okay, sure. I've been to hostess bars

and had a few drinks

with some ladies while out with my friends.

But who hasn't in his life?

Right? You've done it too.

How's that important right now?

So why the hell is this happening?

Does her choosing Ji-ho make sense?

She chose him over me.

It's Yu Ji-ho.

I lost to none other than Ji-ho. Are you kidding me?

Am I that pathetic?

In what way is Ji-ho better than me?

Damn it.

Why is it Yu Ji-ho of all people?

You prick.

Am I wrong though?

I didn't say anything.

That bastard...

He's a nobody, you know.

Okay, fine.

He's nothing.

He's nothing compared to me.

All right, I get it.

-Damn it. -I need to take a piss.

Hello?

What do you want from me?

What do you mean?

What is it that you truly want?

Why didn't you tell me what Jeong-in told you?

Why?

She said she wasn't going to marry me.

Why didn't you tell me that?

You're drunk.

When you first gave us your blessing,

I was even touched.

Not knowing what she had said to you,

I was over the moon.

How could you make me look like a fool?

You made a mockery out of me.

You're drunk, so just head on home.

You should've told me the truth.

Instead of making me read between the lines,

you should've told me what really happened.

Gi-seok.

Do you really need to hear

that your girl doesn't want to marry you from your old man?

You've always been embarrassed of me, haven't you?

I know.

You've never once been satisfied with me.

I know that too.

I take after Mom,

and you see me as a coward.

You think I'm nothing but a fool.

I've known that for as long as I can remember.

Father,

you only think that way because you don't know me better.

I'm not viewed as inferior, you know.

Out in society,

people look up to me.

I'm not too bad.

I bet that sounds pathetic too.

Of course. It's not like you've ever...

You always twist things and let sarcasm take over.

This is why I said that Jeong-in is maturer than you.

You're not levelheaded enough to marry anyone.

But I will.

Just you wait and see.

I will marry her no matter what.

No matter who or what tries to get in our way,

I will marry Jeong-in.

Jae-in told me

I should be selfish.

She says nothing else matters if it's to protect my true feelings.

At first, I only thought she said that to comfort me,

but that wasn't it.

That's how it should be.

It's why I'm not going to hold feelings of guilt anymore.

He's not mad because of the timing.

He's humiliated because it's me.

I'll be disappointed if you're intimidated.

How can I be when you have my back?

You're smart, right?

I will say this once and only once,

so take it to heart.

When I'm not satisfied with you,

I'll call you out on the spot.

My bursts of anger might not seem reasonable,

and I could say harsh words as well.

When I do though,

don't think that I'm being dismissive.

Don't walk on eggshells around me either.

Or I'll kick you to the curb.

I didn't say this to please you, you know.

It's important,

so don't forget it.

Okay?

Look at you thinking of a way out.

You only gave me a peck so that you'd pass a breathalyzer.

PYEONGCHANGSA LAUNDRY

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

What?

What's going on?

I...

My gosh!

What are you doing?

What's going on?

Hold on.

PYEONGCHANGSA LAUNDRY

Gosh.

Why come to the library if you're going to stay on your phone?

You called me here.

What good does an expensive education abroad do

when it's practically useless?

I'll find something to do, so don't worry.

You think way too highly of your talents.

Anyway, that's that,

but who's the guy Jeong-in's been seeing?

-How should I know? -Come on.

I don't know him that well.

Then tell me what you do know.

This is Jeong-in's workplace, so ask her yourself.

You should tell me before your father gets to the bottom of this.

How can I help her out if I don't know?

Do you think he'll ever let this slide?

You saw what happened that day.

Your father was so startled that he even forgot to scold you.

Who is he?

Tell me!

-He's a pharmacist. -What?

They're the same age too.

That's all I know.

-Then-- -I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Wait, hold on. Hey!

Jae-in!

When should I pick up my clothes?

Why is Jeong-in being this way? I'm completely clueless.

She won't say anything else

apart from the fact that she likes him.

Even you think there's something going on, right?

-I couldn't care less. -Why you...

Just let her be.

Jeong-in always knows what she's doing.

Of course, I know that.

Still, it's not like her to hide things from me,

which is why this is weird.

Can't you try to pry some information out of her?

Find out what's going on.

Will you disapprove if he's not up to par?

I will if I have to.

Not Dad, but you?

I can't let my daughter make the wrong choice.

In what way?

Why are you staring at me?

You're mostly open-minded, so this is new.

It's unlike you.

It's not like I'd actually say anything.

I'm curious, that's all.

Precisely. I know you're not that kind of person.

Wouldn't you get scolded first once your mom finds out?

That I can easily take.

My dad's the problem.

He's too hot-tempered.

Does he get physical?

He doesn't.

But who knows

if he'll make history?

Do you think he could beat up the guy?

You're worried about yourself and not Ji-ho, right?

Look, that's just...

You're getting way ahead of yourself.

All right. Whatever you say.

Kiss me and you're dead.

Who else needs lunch? Is five orders enough?

-We'll share if there's not enough. -All right.

That'll be all. No beverages are needed.

Three steak sandwiches and two bulgogi sandwiches.

And the salad. All to go, right?

-Yes. -Yes.

-Great. Thank you. -You can wait over there.

One Hawaiian seafood and one seafood classic, please.

The heart emoji next to Gi-seok's name is gone.

Here.

What's this?

Eun-u gave it to me.

Eun-u? Who's that?

Ji-ho's son?

Hey, then those dinosaur books...

That's right. I'm getting sneaky.

Your nephew? Oh, please.

-Hello? -It's been a long time.

Oh, hello.

Were you surprised to hear from me out of the blue?

I knew you'd get in touch with me.

My show is about to begin, so I can't talk for long.

Anything I can do for you?

Well...

I'd rather not talk about it over the phone.

I'd like to talk in person.

Well, I can meet you anytime.

EPISODE 20 WILL AIR SHORTLY

-I have plans, so I should get going. -Okay, bye.

Ms. Wang! I'm off.

-Okay, bye. -See you tomorrow!

-All right. -Bye.

ONLINE BANKING FOR EVERY FINANCIAL MATTER

ENTER YOUR PASSWORD

Are you lending money to someone?

No, it's for my father.

What for?

I stole something from him.

What did you steal for 300,000 won?

Some booze.

Didn't you say he only drinks soju?

-To make sure he doesn't tell Mom. -I'm not following at all.

Anyway, never lend money to anyone even if it's a close friend.

When did I?

I know you've lent people money

and never got paid back on many occasions.

That's why I can't stand any of your friends...

WOORI PHARMACY

Hi.

Oh, be careful. Hi.

Oh, be careful.

I mean,

it's not like I set you up with Jeong-in behind his back.

Why is he always so mean to me these days?

It pisses me off.

Try to be understanding.

So, are you really seeing her now?

Dude.

You're starting to scare me.

Are you really my buddy, Ji-ho?

Just think of it as you doing me a favor

and put up with him, please.

Yes, I get it.

But he makes it obvious even in front of other people at work.

That's what's killing me.

It'll get more stressful.

Just try to be patient with him.

Jeez, what is this? The arrogance of the winner?

Why are you worried about him?

I'm not worried. I just understand how he must be feeling.

Is this a "Love your enemies" kind of thing?

You see, he may perceive this

as you gloating.

That is out of my control.

You're a weirdo.

-I'm okay. -Gosh, eat slowly.

Thanks for this.

Your cappuccino is ready!

Jeong-in does that too.

What?

You sound just like her.

We're sisters, so I'm sure we're similar.

Right.

You wanted to see me because of Si-hoon, right?

Here's what you ordered.

I know about the loan.

Oh, that...

There's nothing I can do to help him,

and I've explained that to him.

Then why did you want to see me?

Because of Jeong-in?

Yes.

I don't know the details,

but I can gather what's going on.

I think

you're talking to the wrong person though.

Jeong-in and I are very close,

but I don't like to stick my nose into her personal life.

She wouldn't want that either.

It's one of the things that Jeong-in is sensitive about,

so I understand.

But about what's going on...

It's not something I can let it slide.

I know that she trusts you and respects your opinion the most,

so I thought I should talk to you about it in person.

Your iced Americano is ready.

Things between us

are very rocky at the moment.

Do you believe

this can be remedied?

Does it seem impossible?

What is it that you want to say?

Are you here to ask me to help you mend your relationship?

Shouldn't you figure it out on your own?

Gosh, this is...

She has feelings for someone,

another guy.

You're not asking me to stop that, are you?

You knew about it?

It must be hurtful for you.

But you see,

I don't think anything will change even if I get involved.

And as her sister,

I should respect her decision.

What if he's a single father?

The man she's seeing has a son.

He's a single dad.

Mending our relationship comes second.

We must dissuade her from getting involved with him.

She's not in her right mind. I can't let her be.

SEO-IN

I met Gi-seok earlier today. Can you come over now?

I sure did.

-Really? -Yes.

I have to go see Seo-in now.

-Why? -Enjoy the food.

See you.

I don't know.

At first, the idea itself was inconceivable.

Regardless of whether I break up with Gi-seok or not,

I didn't even dream of doing anything with him.

But...

I realized

that I kept looking for him.

Even though he kept

pushing me away,

I clung to him more.

Yes, you can develop feelings for him.

I understand that part, but...

It's Eun-u.

That's his son's name.

I see.

I may be feeling this way

because I like him.

Or perhaps, it's just because of my natural affinity with kids.

I don't know the answer yet.

Whatever it is,

I adore

Eun-u.

I don't even know when I began feeling this way.

I found myself cherishing him.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner,

and for worrying you like this too.

I'm really sorry for everything.

Seo-in.

I'll sort everything out.

Okay?

I'm not upset.

I'm ashamed.

I'm pregnant.

I was going to give it up.

It's too cruel, you know.

And...

I even thought of...

that innocent baby as a punishment.

But how could you...

You will be

a great mom.

You'll figure it all out.

You have to.

Okay.

Gosh.

-This is my sister. -Oh, hello.

It's nice to meet you, Ji-ho.

Thank you. Likewise.

And...

I'm sorry.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Thank you.

By the way, why are you here?

Oh, I was just...

-Did you want to see this news anchor? -Hey.

So, what do you think?

Is she prettier than me?

Come to think of it, you've never said I'm pretty.

Really? Jeong-in is pretty.

I know. That's why I like her.

-You said you love me. -Yes.

I actually regret not telling Seo-in sooner.

I was so worried while waiting outside.

I told you not to wait for me.

It was because of me, so it'd be irresponsible to take off.

I must say, you're such a smooth talker.

I'll even get smacked on your behalf.

Who'd dare to smack me? And do you think I'd hold myself back?

Don't judge a book by its cover. I'm very strong.

Okay, I'll be careful.

I mean it though.

I won't let you get hurt.

I'm touched by just hearing that,

so don't try to handle everything alone.

And how can I just sit back and watch?

You told me not to be a loser.

So, you do take my advice.

I don't want to get smacked.

Behave yourself, Ji-ho.

I will, Jeong-in.

So?

Am I pretty or not?

It's getting late. Let's go.

Look at you.

-And you still expect a compliment? -What? Come on.

So, I'm not pretty? You don't think I'm pretty?

We should get going.

You're not going to say it? Fine.

I didn't think Gi-seok would stoop this low.

He's as much of a loser as Si-hoon is.

Why didn't he just tell on Mom or Dad?

I should leave 30 minutes early tomorrow for the general meeting.

You shouldn't let it slide.

Tell him to stop or something.

That's what he wants.

I used to get all angry and meet him in person,

then we'd end up getting back together.

He thinks it'll happen again this time.

I bet he's in disbelief now because he didn't get a call from me.

Whether it's his strategy or not, will you just let it slide?

Both Seo-in

and Ji-ho think I shouldn't do anything to provoke him.

-So what? Wait until he gives up? -He won't give up that easily.

Will he seek out both Mom and Dad?

I should tell Mom and Dad before it gets to that.

Jeong-in.

You might get killed.

I'm prepared for the worst-case scenario.

-Will you be all right? -Yes.

Go back inside.

-Hey, I'll hail a taxi for you. -No, don't worry.

-Let me do it. -It's okay.

I'm off. Bye.

-Isn't she a news anchor? -Yes, sir. She is.

What is this place? Is it a bar?

Yes, sir. It's known as a hangout for musicians.

PRINCIPAL LEE TAE-HAK

-Hello? -Let's grab lunch together somewhere.

-Oh, well... -Do you have other plans?

-Yes, I'm sorry. -Don't be. All right, then.

-Make sure to take it before meals. -Okay, have a nice day.

-You too. Bye. -Thank you. Bye.

I've been on my feet all day.

You must be tired.

I don't know why, but we are busier these days.

Now that Ji-ho is on a path to happiness,

I have to do more work.

What kind of logic is that?

-Send this off with our order. -Got it.

I'm just happy for you.

Hey, no one else cares about you as much as I do.

That's true. Every time we have lunch together, she says,

"Ji-ho deserves to be happy.

I hope only good things await him." She's always so worried about you.

You're all talk.

So, when's Jeong-in coming?

-Why do you ask? -I want to see her.

Maybe another day.

Come on! Tell her to come today.

Because of what you told her, she actually thinks I have many secrets.

You are the worst guy, indeed.

-Why? -I can go on and on.

You're such a dutiful son. And from the money issue to your exes--

Hye-jeong, please.

-So, when can I see her? -What?

Hey, Ji-ho wants me to meet the pharmacist he works with.

You're starting to get to know the people around him.

You should come too.

Me? Why?

He's bringing a supporter.

Are you going to ditch me?

Hey, I never said I'm in support of this.

I have to persuade my parents. Must you add to that stress?

Why are you leaving out Ji-ho's parents?

There's no guarantee that they'll like you.

Well, they at least won't treat you as if you don't exist, unlike Gi-seok's parents.

The way they treated me made me so miserable.

Ji-ho will have it a lot tougher, right?

Don't worry about that yet. It'll only wear you out.

So you'll help me, right?

I'm going to help Ha-rin first.

Hey, are you really going to be like this?

I can do this by myself.

Then you shouldn't have whined about it.

Yeong-ju was going to come down as well.

I've never worked with a book club before,

and I'm extra nervous because they're kids.

I heard kids can actually tell whether you're a good person or not.

In my sister's experience of raising her own kids,

she's learned that children are indeed our greatest mirrors.

She said you can never fool kids.

They don't want you to hate them,

so they don't say anything even if they don't like you.

That means they can pretend they like you when they don't.

Yes, of course.

Why do you suddenly look all serious?

What? It's nothing.

-Did you have fun? -Yes.

Eun-u, it's too dusty here.

Take Grandpa's phone and go home.

-I'll follow you shortly. -Okay.

Well, we have so many masks. Why don't you use them?

You should use them.

Why is this stuck?

I only had a shot of it the other day.

Was the shot glass as big as a bowl?

What?

When did I drink this much?

Goodness, you kill me.

My goodness.

Best of luck.

Mr. Kwon, here.

These were left out. Please go through--

I heard you.

The team manager wants to review them first thing tomorrow morning.

-Are you giving me orders now? -No, I'm not.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Gi-seok.

Hi, can you talk now?

Yes, for a few minutes.

Okay. I was wondering what your schedule is like for today.

Why do you ask?

I haven't seen you in a while,

and I need to talk to you about the loan as well.

Well, today is...

If you're busy, we can meet up another day.

Is it because of Jeong-in?

Sorry?

I met Father. He seemed worried about you.

About what?

About your marriage, of course.

I probably should talk to him soon.

Hello.

-You had a late lunch today. -Yes.

Oh, Mr. Kwon already took care of your bill.

Sorry?

He left just after you arrived.

My goodness.

Oh, boy.

CHIEF DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

-Are you here to see me? -Oh!

Yes, I heard you paid for my lunch.

Well, I saw you came alone when you told me you had plans,

so I thought you might be upset with me about something

and left quietly.

What happened was, my plans suddenly got canceled.

You should've called me even if it happened at the last minute.

I think your daughter may be seeing someone else.

I just had an inkling, but I suppose it's actually true.

No, I never heard anything about it.

Who told you such nonsense?

So you don't know about it?

What's there to know about?

You're saying this because you don't know what my daughter is like.

She's such an upright person,

so she'd never do such a thing.

By the way, what exactly did you hear?

Just based on the circumstances.

Your daughter doesn't want to marry Gi-seok.

Did you know?

Well, she's just saying that.

I mean, many young people these days don't believe in marriage.

I think that's why she said that to you.

I'm sure Gi-seok doesn't love everything about it either.

Things aren't like how they used to be back in our day.

You always emphasize that yourself. My goodness.

So you're sure she's not seeing someone else?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm telling you. She'd never do such a thing.

You look as if you're sitting in a job interview.

No, I'm totally comfortable.

-Ji-ho is... -What? What are you going to say?

I haven't even said anything yet.

What about him?

His specialty is doing things that women hate.

I mean, he can lend money to his friends.

They're his friends, so I get it.

The problem is, he has no interest in getting the money back.

-That would drive me nuts. -Yeong-ju, hear me out.

What else?

Be it a buddy, an old classmate, or a friend's friend.

He pays for everything whenever he hangs with anyone.

-Not all the time. -Be quiet.

And he's like Santa Claus to all the ladies.

What are you talking about?

You buy them birthday and Christmas gifts whenever they bring it up.

Goodness. Just call it quits, Jeong-in.

No, she's exaggerating it because she's drunk now.

Shall I call them, then?

What? Call who?

You're not helping me at all here.

Jeong-in, you know what I'm trying to tell you, right?

Yes, I sure do. Don't worry.

Disciplining him will be a piece of cake.

I like you.

-Are you going somewhere? -I want to get some fresh air.

What's wrong? Is your stomach upset or something?

-Shall I come with you? -No, it's okay.

Hello!

-Oh, no. Let me pour you one. -Okay.

Thank you.

So? Is the talk about marriage

going well?

Well, so-so.

How come you guys never seem passionate?

By the way, how much money do you need?

Well, it's tricky to get approved for a loan,

but I figured I could help you personally.

Here is what you ordered.

I guess you have some money.

No, it's not that.

I just think I may be able to help you out a little.

-Eat this. -Thank you.

-The food is good here. Eat up. -Okay.

Did I offend you by any chance?

I don't need any money. I don't need that loan either.

I see. Then are you all ready now?

My wife says she'll divorce me if I take out a loan.

When you're married, you have to obey your wife.

Thanks for your help anyway.

I won't bug you anymore.

Gosh, don't say that.

She's even done something worse.

-You're so chatty today. -Be quiet.

When my body temperature was hovering at 40 degrees because of a cold,

Jeong-in watched a movie on her laptop

and drank beer right next to me

without even batting an eye.

Jeez, that is simply unacceptable.

I guess Jeong-in isn't really the affectionate type.

-Exactly! -She's not affectionate. She sure isn't.

So what? You don't like me now?

-I like you despite that. -Even though I'm not affectionate?

It's fine because I'm affectionate.

The door is opening.

Bye.

The door is closing.

Going up.

The door is closing.

See? I told you.

Gi-seok is meeting my dad?

Ji-ho, I'll handle this.

Until when do I have to hide behind you?

I don't plan to let Gi-seok have his way indefinitely.

Being understanding and patient isn't working.

His goal is to take me down.

Neither Gi-seok nor your father will back down easily.

Gi-seok won't stay quiet.

I think you should decide on the date for us.

As they say, "Strike while the iron is hot."

Let's just nail down a date for their wedding.

It looks like you already know.

Don't jump to your own conclusions though.

I'll never avoid running into Ji-ho.

You must know what it means.

Let's go somewhere fun with Eun-u.

I see that you're touched again. You're seriously too easy.

Thank you, God.

I'm in love.
