What scheme are you gonna use today?

I want to quit this marriage and everything else.

I don't get why life is so hard. Is it only for me?

I withstood all the disregard and mistreatment I got for being poor.

I grit my teeth and set aside my pride.

I can't give up my goal.

If it's for my goal, I can lie on my belly and lick Ga-eun's feet.

I even tossed you aside, Mi-ran.

I'll get on my knees or on the floor if that's what they want.

That's what I should do, right?

What's with you today? Something happen at Ga-eun's?

I've endured the contempt so well until now.

I just have to endure it a little longer.

But it's hard on a day like today.

I can hardly stand how pathetic I am.

Sis.

Sit.

Does that make you feel better?

What?

You always work on those when you feel frustrated.

How's Mom doing?

She'll be better after a good night's sleep.

Where's Mi-ran?

She isn't back yet.

All day I've been upsetting people.

First I upset Ran and now I've hurt Mom.

As for Jung-woo...

Sis.

I hate to ask...

But do you have to get married? It has to be Jung-woo?

Not you, too.

I'm sorry, but I agree with Mom.

Jung-woo's mother is scary and narrow-minded.

Young-eun, that's because you met her under bad circumstances.

I don't want to hear anymore of this from you.

Sis, I'm just worried about you.

No more of this.

All you can see right now is Jung-woo. You don't see anything else.

You're like a train with no brakes rushing towards Jung-woo.

- What if... - What if what?

What if even Jung-woo disappoints you? What if he betrays you?

That's like asking how I can live when the sky might cave in.

Why is everyone predicting my unhappiness?

Why is everyone so sure I'll be unhappy?

I'm sorry, Sis.

Know what the difference between the rich and poor is?

Confidence and servility.

One day I realized that I hate my mother.

Know why?

She'll lower herself embarrassingly if it's for money.

You and I are so alike.

When my father passed, she picked up cabbage leaves from the ground

to make gruel for her starving children.

No matter how much I ate, I'd be starving in a moment.

I would wake up in the night because I was so hungry.

One night, she woke me and gave me a bowl of white rice.

It was unbelievably delicious.

Can you guess where she got it?

Food set out for the spirits at a funeral. She brought it home for me.

Jung-woo.

I decided then.

No matter what, I'd succeed.

I'd become more self-assured.

I understand how you felt.

I lived with Ga-eun since I was little and experienced the same pain.

Before I knew it, I was no better than a lapdog wagging my tail for treats.

They enjoyed being kind while I had to be grateful against my wishes.

All because I was born to poor parents.

It was degrading.

Each time, I wanted to take off the clothes they gave me.

No one would be able to salvage my tattered pride.

Now I understand why you chose Ga-eun.

I understand your pain.

But... it's too hard and painful.

I shouldn't be showing you such a weak side.

I'm sorry, Mi-ran.

You're the only one I can talk to about this.

There's no need to say more. I told you, I understand.

In my most painful moment, I thought of you.

Your face, your voice, your scent. I missed it all.

Stop, Jung-woo.

Mi-ran, you can wait until I've achieved my goal, can't you?

Did you really mean that?

You'll come to me when you've achieved everything?

You meant it? They weren't empty words meant to pacify me?

Yes, I meant it.

If you'll wait, I'll give you everything that belongs to Ga-eun now.

Be patient and wait for me.

Jung-woo.

What's going on? He's not even picking up.

Something bad happened, I'm sure of it.

What do we do now?

Hello? Ga-eun?

It's me.

Sorry to be a bother, but is Jung-woo still there?

Let me talk to him.

What? He left already?

Is he drinking somewhere? He must be so upset.

Mother, please tell him to call me when he gets in.

No, I'll go to you. Okay.

Don't worry too much. Bye.

Jung-woo's not back yet?

I can't reach him. What if something happened?

What do we do?

What happened at your house?

Why isn't he picking up or coming home at this hour?

I'm sorry, Mother. My mom...

Forget it. I can guess.

I should never have sent him there.

I should've gone myself to beg forgiveness.

Mother, don't worry. He'll come home soon.

How can I not worry? This is all your fault.

No, it's my fault.

I'm the one who acted unrefined in front of your cultured mother.

I'm so upset.

Mother, please don't say that. I'm sorry.

I should've been a better mediator. It's all my fault.

What's the point of him buying bracelets for you and your mother?

One incident like this and it's all forgotten.

Bracelets?

No one knows how considerate he is.

No one.

Chairman, drinking at night is bad for your health.

At least eat something.

Then should I drink during the day?

Come look at this painting. What do you think of it?

I don't know much about art.

Let's see. I think it's good.

Who drew it? Someone famous?

No, someone I've never heard of.

Goodness! You actually bought a painting by a no-name artist?

See how warm and honest the painting is.

I can't really feel the warm and honest vibe, frankly speaking.

Now I like paintings like this one.

Does this mean I'm getting old?

Chairman, you're not old at all.

Stop saying that and get remarried already.

Nonsense... You teasing me?

I need to marry Jae-bum off, but he doesn't seem to like women.

Jae-bum.

Thanks.

I compiled the stats on Noma's current sales.

Their sales in fashion are surprisingly underwhelming.

Jae-bum, if you're gonna work late, let's eat at least.

I'm starving.

We ate dinner. You hungry already?

You realize what time it is? It's past midnight.

Once you focus on something, you lose track of time.

What? Geez, it's already so late?

I thought it was around seven. Let's continue this tomorrow.

Who is it at this hour?

Hello, Ha Jae-bum speaking.

Jae-bum? It's me, Yoon Na-na.

I didn't expect you to pick up. You don't answer my calls on your cell.

That's not nice.

Hi, Na-na. How are you?

Did you drink? Then go home and sleep.

Calling me so late is not good manners.

I'm hanging up.

- Na-na. - Na-na.

I made a bet with myself.

If you're at the office, we're soul mates.

If not, I'd let you be happy with that fianc� of yours.

But you're here.

Hey, hey.

A bet you make by yourself is no good.

Jae-bum, I don't accept your engagement, you hear?

An engagement made without the parents isn't real.

I was in so much pain, but I won't give you up.

So call off your engagement and marry me instead, okay?

Do something about this wacko.

Na-na.

Na-na.

Jung-woo.

Oh! Ga-eun! Did you sleep here?

He isn't back yet?

I fell asleep waiting for him.

Something happened to him, I'm sure of it.

He's never done this before.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Jung-woo, why are you still not picking up?

Mother's worried about you. Please call me.

Ran didn't come home last night either.

Maybe...

I'll hate you until I die.

Okay.

I never loved you.

Okay.

I don't love you now. I never will.

Okay.

You mean nothing to me.

Okay.

I can let you go now.

Okay.

Thanks for proving to me that you really do love me.

That's enough for me.

Now... I'm sure I can...

I can let you go.

I'll wait for you silently.

I'll be your hidden flower until you reach your goal.

Live as Yoo Ga-eun's husband.

I'll lay low and not show my face.

Goodbye.

Don't pretend to love Ga-eun too much in front of me.

I don't know if I can bear that.

I'm sorry, Mi-ran.

I'll pray for your happiness.

Jung-woo.

Don't forget. We'll only be apart for a while.

Goodbye.

Bye.

I took this from Ga-eun.

I know.

I won't need it anymore.

Bye.

'What are you doing, Park Jung-woo? Snap out of it.'

'Now's not the time to be strung up on love.'

'Don't be distracted now. Love means nothing to you.'

'Nothing.'

Hello, this is the dance academy.

Ran, I was going crazy worrying about you.

Sorry about yesterday.

Are you still mad? Is that why you didn't come home?

You slept over at a friend's?

I see.

I won't ever hurt your feelings again.

I didn't realize it. I'm sorry.

Well, since you apologize.

Your phone was off. I was so worried.

The battery ran out. That's why it was off.

Then you'll come home later? You have to.

Okay. Thanks, Ran.

Mom, you asleep?

I'm coming in.

Mom.

Dear, Ga-eun made abalone porridge for you.

Sit up and have some. Come on.

Mom, I'm sorry. Please have some.

I don't want it.

But you like abalone porridge.

I like no such thing!

You want to know what your mother-in-law is like?

She brought the abalone we gave her as an apology gift.

Did she?

You think I'm acting like this for nothing?

You see one thing, you've seen ten.

I've never seen such a greedy, stupid, crude person in my life.

Ow, my head.

But you shouldn't lie here and eat nothing.

Your head will hurt worse.

- Dad, go to work. - Okay.

- I'll be back later. - Okay.

Dear, I'm off to work.

Mom, I understand how you feel. I really hurt you, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

I'm always grateful to you.

You understand? Then will you give up Jung-woo?

Mom.

My head! Ugh, my head hurts.

What a headache. It hurts.

What happened to you yesterday? Where were you?

I'm tired. Let's talk later.

Do you know how worried I was? And Ga-eun, too.

Did you say something to her?

She slept here last night.

- What? - Geez.

You should've called me so we could match our stories.

What did Ga-eun's family say? Did things get worse?

Goodness, it got worse, didn't it?

I guessed so much.

What do we do?

Why do your clothes smell of perfume?

You reek of it, like you took a shower in it.

Did you meet another woman?

Why aren't you answering?

You were with that other woman until now?

Great. Just great.

You're determined to ruin us all, aren't you?

Who's the tramp? A hostess?

Who's so brazen as to seduce my son a day before his wedding...

Goodness. Hold on. What's this?

Why did you bring this back? Did Ga-eun give it to you?
