THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED SAFELY WITH SUPERVISION

Are you tired?

Yes.

This is why you're getting tired quickly.

This won't do.

Let's run together more often.

Then can you carry me on your back?

It's your fault if my knees blow out.

Oh, of course.

You said a fall could break a bone at this age, right?

You know it, but you still won't get down.

He left his phone here.

All right, then. I'll reach out to him later.

Nope. Don't do it, Cha Ji-yoon. Stop that.

Yeah, why would I stoop so low?

I can just ask him if I'm really curious.

But I ordered a soda.

If you drink something sugary after a workout, you get thirstier.

Drink water.

Could you respect my taste, please?

Not when it comes to health issues.

Are you that worried I'll get sick?

Yes,

-so sick you can't work. -So sick I can't work?

Oh, your phone was ringing.

It's from Sr. Associate Lee Young-hun.

He says he'll return right away next week.

I hope everything gets fixed

as soon as Mr. Lee gets here.

Let's keep our hopes up.

He's definitely got the skills for that.

I'm getting jealous.

Why?

You're always my number one, Sr. Associate Cha.

When does rehearsal finish today?

Around 5 p.m.

-I'll come pick you up. -Okay.

Now, since you've rested enough,

shall we run again?

Again?

Winner gets ice cream.

EPISODE 8 HELD BACK BY MY PAST, STILL CLOCKING IN!

That hits the spot. Bibimbap is best with young summer radish.

Should we add more sesame oil?

That's new.

You used to freak out over any kind of oil.

From now on, I'm trying to focus more

on what I want to do, not what I shouldn't.

My little sister's all grown up.

Are you still mad at me?

Why won't you open it?

I don't have to.

-What, is it Kim Goo-won? -Absolutely not!

Then why won't you open it? Give me.

I told you, it's not him!

-"Hey No-ah, let's hang out." -Give it back.

"Are you still mad at me?"

Come on, give it back!

Why are you snooping on someone else's phone?

Who is this, then?

Just the most shallow person in the world.

YOON NO-AH

Do you think I'm shallow?

Well, you are a lightweight.

-Not on the surface. -Why?

Did someone say that?

Yeah.

You're not exactly shallow.

You just seem so because you yearn for nothing.

What does that mean?

You've never wanted something so bad, have you?

Whether it's an item, looks, or talent.

That's not true.

I'm yearning so bad right now.

For what?

Muscles?

No-ah.

No-ah?

What's that?

Let's go.

Where are you going?

Rehearsal for a friend's wedding.

You're singing at a wedding?

Yeah.

I promised my college friends I'd do it, so I want to keep my word.

You're doing it because you want to see Ji-yoon.

It's not that.

We're already over.

Then why were your eyes glued to Ji-yoon the whole time?

Were they?

I should be more careful.

She must've been uncomfortable.

I'm off.

Bye.

I'm off too.

Do I make No-ah uncomfortable too?

Hye-ji.

What?

What is it?

Me and Mr. Kang…

We're dating.

You said you wouldn't.

You told me not to worry!

Well, I couldn't hold myself back.

You said his ex-wife was your mentor.

You'll keep running into her at work.

Are you seriously doing this?

To be honest, it bothers me.

Watching them work together puts me in a mood too.

Please think about the aftermath for once.

Marriage means

becoming a family.

You've never experienced that.

It'll be much harder than you think,

and there'll be so many things you'll have to swallow.

I guess that's true, huh?

You're smiling?

Come on.

I'm really happy these days.

You're driving me crazy.

All right, whatever.

I can't stop you when you've made up your mind.

Then can you stop worrying

and just cheer me on?

Fine, then bring him to the wedding. Let me at least see his face.

He's insanely handsome, you know.

I know.

How do you know?

You only go for handsome guys.

Man!

I won't deny it.

Ji-yoon!

We're all having dinner together. Come with us.

I already have plans.

Can't you just relax around me?

Treat me like

a friend from college, like Seung-jun.

I told you, I--

Ms. Ji-yoon.

Mr. Kang.

We meet again.

I'm Kang Si-woo.

KANG SI-WOO MANAGER

Oh, you're Ji-yoon's boss I met back then, right?

Hello.

What brings you here, though?

Mr. Kang,

let's just go.

Ms. Ji-yoon.

-I didn't mean to keep it from you. -No.

I feel like I cut your conversation short.

If you need to talk more, please go ahead.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

Then I'll just be a minute.

What's going on, Ji-yoon? Why is he…

He's my boyfriend.

What?

Since when?

It hasn't been long.

So stop contacting me personally.

See you at Hye-ji's wedding.

I regretted letting you go.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

He joined in out of nowhere.

I didn't want to worry you unnecessarily.

I saw Mr. Cho going inside when I dropped you off before.

Why didn't you say anything?

I was waiting for you to tell me first.

Do you feel like this too when you see me

with Ms. Choi?

Feel like what?

I know there's nothing going on between you,

but it still gets to me.

Yes.

My relationship with her ended a long time ago,

and I don't have any feelings left for her.

Same for me too.

I hope he has a good life, that's all.

Right.

Oh, Hye-ji wants you to come to the wedding with me.

Will I get to see your drumming skills then?

Sure.

Then I'll have to go.

I'd better practice harder.

It must've been a shock running into them.

It's weird, right?

How did it never occur to me that there could be

another person by Ji-yoon's side?

Because you've literally never seen it.

She spent all of college hung up on you, so she didn't even look at other guys.

Yeah, you have to accept it now.

But hey, why did you pretend you didn't notice

when you knew how she felt back then?

I wanted her in my life for a long time.

I was scared

that we couldn't be friends anymore if we dated and broke up.

And yet,

here we are anyway.

What you need to do

is just keep thriving like you are right now.

That's better for Ji-yoon's sake too.

Her head's already a mess as it is,

so don't stir her up even more.

What's wrong?

Did something happen to her?

No.

I mean, everyone's head is a mess, right?

Yours, mine, Seung-jun's.

Not for me.

What is it?

Tell me. Something's up with Ji-yoon, right?

No, not at all.

Come on, spill it!

Hello, I'm the newest member of the task force,

Lee Young-hun.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you!

Welcome, Mr. Lee.

Thanks.

We can finish introductions later. Let's get straight to work.

Should I get a meeting room?

No, we're heading to the product showroom today.

-The product showroom? -Let's go.

Wow.

What's all this?

We're going to use this space as the Home-AI Lab from now.

We'll test connectivity between devices and AI experiences here.

Incredible. It's nicer than my own home.

The President is here.

The President?

Hello.

Seeing you like that makes me feel like an intruder.

Please make yourselves at ease.

Yes, ma'am.

The upcoming demo

will be held right here in the product showroom.

We chose this space because we wanted something more private,

given the nature of the project.

You just need to trust and follow Mr. Kang.

Yes, ma'am.

One thing,

please pay special attention to security.

It'd be a shame to have your hard work stolen by someone else,

-wouldn't it? -Yes.

Okay then, I'll look forward to a great demo.

And…

you did the new product presentation, right?

Yes, I'm Sr. Associate Cha Ji-yoon.

Great. I'm counting on you for this demo as well.

Yes, ma'am.

All right, then.

Take care, ma'am.

I see a lot of curious faces.

Is there something we don't know about?

Yes.

And are we getting surprise announcements every time?

-Yes. -But why?

Like the President said, security is key.

With this kind of approach, even ten cameras won't do it.

Then what should we do?

How about this?

You put ingredients in here

and come out empty-handed.

Or you go in empty-handed

and come out with an ingredient.

We teach the AI these action patterns

to track what goes in and out.

Then can it recognize what the ingredient is as well?

Of course.

It'll recognize everything and know

if I'm moving a banana, apple, or broccoli,

and even make an ingredient list.

And could it also suggest dishes and recipes

based on what's in the fridge?

Yes.

Awesome.

However,

we'll have to switch to a better camera.

Sure.

-Mr. Lee? -Yes.

Could you come and see this?

One moment.

Looks like things are going well.

Yes.

Mr. Lee's our relief pitcher saving the day.

This is something someone has to solve.

It's like the race to see who lands on the moon first.

You're here.

Have a seat.

Okay.

-Have you been waiting long? -Not at all.

What did you want to ask?

I'd like to revisit the remote-controlled induction cooktop

I mentioned before.

I told you, we can't do that one.

It's explicitly banned in the regulations.

What about utilizing a regulatory sandbox?

If the results are good, the regulations could be changed.

Right, a regulatory sandbox.

A SYSTEM GRANTING TEMPORARY EXEMPTIONS FOR MARKET TESTING OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

How did you think of that?

Wow, Ms. Yoon. I'm really impressed.

Thank you.

Go ahead and apply for a regulatory sandbox.

If it's approved, let's do it.

Yes, sir!

Hi, is this No-ah?

I'm Jae-in's girlfriend. We met the other day.

Could we meet up?

Wow.

Now that's a twist I didn't see coming.

-Thank you. -Of course.

Here.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

-Here. -Okay.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You've changed a lot since I last saw you, Mr. Kang.

Your food is ready.

-Wow. -Looks delicious!

-It's kimchi stew! -Thank you.

-Thank you! -Thank you!

-Enjoy your meal. -Enjoy your meal.

What? What is it?

What do you want?

What was that?

-What? -That wasn't you?

What do you mean?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Wow, Mr. Kang.

If you keep doing that…

If you do this for me,

it's basically love.

You're not at that level.

I'm sorry.

Shall I get that for you? Does that make you uncomfortable?

No, I'm kidding.

-I'm married, you know. -I am too.

Oh, okay.

Where's Mr. Lee?

R&D building.

Excuse me, we're getting off.

Excuse me.

Oh, hey.

We're really becoming one team, Mr. Kang!

I'll be eating alone tomorrow.

No! We were just getting along.

Come on, Mr. Kang!

Sorry for making you come all the way here.

I'm still on the clock.

It's fine. I'm the one who asked to meet up.

Why did you ask to see me?

Why did you agree to see me?

I mean, you could've just not replied.

I figured seeing me would make you feel a bit less frustrated.

I was the one who broke up with him.

My pride was hurt because it felt like Jae-in

didn't really like me.

I thought if I said that, he'd try to hold on to me.

But he didn't.

He just said, "Okay."

"What can I do? Your feelings are gone."

What could I do? The feelings were gone.

So it wasn't Jae-in's feelings

that were gone?

He may look like a playboy, but he's sincere deep down.

He may seem to do whatever he wants,

but he never lies.

I know it wasn't because of you.

Our relationship practically ended

a long time ago.

You came all this way just to tell me that?

You could've just stayed quiet.

I knew

when he ran after you that day

that he really likes you.

I'd never seen him like that before.

Whether you accept him or not is up to you,

but I don't want him to be misunderstood because of me.

I have no intention of getting back together with him either.

That's all I wanted to say.

I guess I'll have to wait a bit.

Why is he here?

I ran into people from the office.

It was so awkward.

Did you bump into anyone?

No.

Thank goodness.

You said Seochon, right?

Yes.

You must've been really on edge,

forgetting your seat belt like that.

I guess I was.

All right, let's go.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Mom

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, Mom.

By the way, I bought this cake.

Thanks, son.

Lady Nam Hye-gyeong…

happy birthday.

Thank you, dear.

I appreciate it.

You should say something too, Dad.

Happy birthday.

I see you're empty-handed again this year.

Well, I'm covering the meal.

It's been that way every year, nothing new.

Yeah.

Having a meal with you is a once-in-a-year event, for sure.

Excuse me.

Please enjoy.

Wow, this looks great.

-Right, Mom? -Yeah, let's eat.

Dig in.

What?

You like tangsuyuk.

I only craved that when I was pregnant

with Joon-su, all right?

I like palbochae and Chinese meatballs too.

But how would you know what I like?

You might as well be a stranger. I barely see you.

Mom.

Say everything you want. I'll listen.

Fine.

You.

When I kicked you up to the rootfop in a fit of anger,

you went up like you'd been waiting for it.

You said you couldn't sleep because of me.

I did it so you'd sleep in peace.

Or you could just come home early

instead of coming late and rustling around!

Do you really think I called you because I was scared

of bugs and robbers?

How could you come home and just go back to the store?

And do you think paying is enough?

How could you come empty-handed every year?

Is there something you want?

What's this now?

MARRIAGE GRADUATION AGREEMENT

Mom,

what is this?

I want your signature on that.

You were serious about this graduating thing?

We stay legally married, but we'll live our lives separately.

Then how's that any different from now?

It's different to me!

Read it over, and then we'll go see a lawyer together.

It's a real contract, so we should do it properly.

You should've gone home with Mom.

I have work left to do.

I wouldn't live with a stone statue like you either.

You're so sweet to us. So why are you like that with Mom?

Because I'm afraid.

Of what?

With kids, the bond lasts forever no matter what.

But marriage can end anytime.

True.

Plenty of people get married and divorced.

It feels

like walking through a minefield.

A minefield?

I'd say something without thinking,

and if it gets on your mom's nerves,

I'd go, "Okay, I shouldn't bring that up again."

And I avoid that topic next time.

Then I'd make another mistake and think,

"That's a mine too. I'll avoid that as well."

You keep dodging around like that, and before you know it,

you end up keeping your mouth shut.

I was just trying to keep her at ease,

and it became a habit.

So what now?

What are you going to do?

Mom sounded pretty serious about it.

It's just "graduation," not divorce.

That means there's still hope, right?

For someone

who looks super pessimistic,

you're incredibly optimistic.

Is that a compliment or an insult?

Oh, well.

I'll just go along with what your mom wants for now

and make it up to her for everything.

I'll buy her flowers

and get her presents.

She likes palbochae, right?

Yeah.

Then I'll get her that too.

How about you, Dad?

Have you ever wanted to break up with Mom since you got married?

Sure, I have.

On days when being with her

feels lonelier than being by myself,

those thoughts do come to me.

But my conclusion is always the same.

I can't live without your mom.

Bus number 38

-is arriving soon. -Go on in. My bus is here.

Yeah. Get home safe, Dad.

All right.

Oh, right.

Is the cassette player working okay?

Yeah, very well.

Good.

That guy sure gets his job done.

I'm off.

Why did you get divorced, Mr. Kang?

Because you were lonely?

Or because you made the other person lonely?

Whatever the reason is,

is it something I can handle?

Hold on, so…

You're dating her now?

You told me to.

You said it'd be disrespectful.

I guess I must like Ms. Ji-yoon enough to cross that line.

"Ms. Ji-yoon"?

Why are you so surprised?

I'm just jealous, that's all.

You like her that much?

Yeah.

She's too good for me.

Why do you keep saying how she's too good

and it's disrespectul?

What, is being divorced a crime?

It's not a crime, but it's definitely a flaw.

Ms. Ji-yoon probably needed way more contemplation and courage than I did.

When you think about that, I can't afford to mess up.

I don't want to hurt her.

Kang Si-woo has finally become a man.

Then what was I before?

A work machine.

By the way, does Ms. Ji-yoon know

that it's Soo-jin?

Yeah.

You're right.

You really can't afford to mess this up.

No matter how much I look at it,

I can't get used to the new design.

It feels strange at first,

but it gets prettier the more you look.

Wow, proud dad much?

Of course, I am.

My kid's head might be a little big, but it's super smart.

Schedule it for when you get off work,

it automatically washes and dries all your clothes.

It can even tell different fabrics apart.

And boy, does my kid run fast.

Just take a short break, and the whole cycle's done.

That's the whole marketing pitch right there.

I don't know which is the right call.

What do you mean?

Between functionality and aesthetics,

what should come first?

There's no right or wrong answer.

You just build a feel for it with experience.

But aesthetic value

is highly subjective.

We can't even agree on this one product.

In those cases, you prioritize consumer-centric, universal values.

But if we just keep catering to the consumers,

when will we ever get to lead this market?

Oh! The refrigerator's here.

Oh?

The screen is smaller, Just like Ms. Cha suggested.

-Right. Did you know, Ji-yoon? -No.

Did you know, Mr. Kang?

I heard the Design Team

had another internal meeting after hearing your feedback.

It looks great design-wise too.

Yes, it's far better than the first draft.

Yes, hello.

I'll be at your firm in an hour if I leave now.

I came to his store so I can bring him with me.

Well, he's willing to at least hear what graduating from marriage means.

Yes, I'll do that.

Okay.

Honey!

-Are you okay? Where? Did you get hurt? -Oh, man.

Is it your ankle?

Your ankle?

What's up, Dad?

You never call me at this hour.

I took a little tumble down the stairs.

What?

Are you hurt badly?

No,

it's just a hairline fracture, so I got a cast.

But there's a customer coming in to pick something up this evening.

Can you take care of that for me

and put up a big "Temporarily Closed" sign on the door?

Okay, I will. Don't worry about that.

Where are you now, though?

Alone in the rooftop room?

Me?

Your mom made such a fuss saying I'll need surgery if I snap my leg

going up and down the stairs.

So, I'm down in the living room.

Ji-yoon,

do you think I should just crawl back upstairs?

No.

This is a blessing in disguise, you know that?

You mean I should turn this crisis into an opportunity?

Yeah.

Take this chance to get some rest and focus on Mom for once,

got it?

Okay.

Oh, geez.

I tried to get rid of a problem and got another problem instead.

Ugh!

Did something happen to your dad?

He's got a hairline fracture in his leg.

Is he all right?

Yes.

I have to stop by his store for him,

so I'll head out early today.

-Would you… -Can I come with you?

Yes.

There's something I want to ask you too.

Sure, let's talk on the way.

You've been in a bad mood all day.

My boss has been making me upset.

He must be a horrible boss,

making things hard for you.

You said you had something to say. Was it trash-talking your boss?

Yes.

Vent all you want.

I'll trash-talk him with you.

Last night…

MANAGER CHOI SOO-JIN

You should take it.

Yes, Ms. Choi.

Si-woo.

Si-woo, are you close yet?

Mom!

Sorry, I'll hang up.

CALL ENDED

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Was that Ms. Choi's mother?

Yes.

Is that why

you two were in your car together last night?

You both looked so serious,

so I couldn't go say hi.

So I felt you out like a coward.

It seems

like I lied to you.

Yes.

It bothered me all day.

So I kept wanting to ask what you two talked about.

But I didn't think you'd still be in touch with her family too.

It was the first time since the divorce.

I suppose I should take your word for that, right?

She has dementia.

In her mind,

it's still ten years ago.

When we got back from our honeymoon,

she looked at my husband…

and asked who he was.

Then she asked where you were.

My mom is stuck

at the time right after we got married.

I feel so bad for my husband.

I think if she gets to see you

and say goodbye to you one last time,

she'll stop looking for you.

I know it's shameless of me,

but that's why I'm asking you again.

Why didn't you tell me from the start?

Because I said no.

And I thought

sharing something so personal

was disrespectful to everyone involved.

So if I hadn't gotten in your car today,

I never would've known.

That's what I was hoping.

Why?

Is that you being considerate of me?

Yes.

Even if I could go back in time, I still wouldn't tell you.

That's my way of caring about you.

I don't know.

I wouldn't have liked knowing earlier…

but I don't like learning about it now either.

Any decision I make,

I make it

for you, Ms. Ji-yoon.

Then don't go.

Okay.

If you were me, Mr. Kang,

what would you have done?

If you were me…

Then go and find out.

You'll only see what that feeling is

when you face it head on.

If you need to talk more, please go ahead.

I'll wait.

…you would've told me to go.

You'd let me go, saying you'll wait,

never wavering.

But for me,

it's just not that easy.

Hi, Ms. Ji-yoon.

You should go.

Ms. Ji-yoon.

If you don't go,

then she might keep reaching out.

I'd hate that even more.

Go and settle it once and for all.

But

this can't happen again.

Okay.

Thank you.

And Hye-ji's wedding…

I'll be there on time.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

You're really done with group blind dates?

Yeah.

I'm sick of poking around, negotiating some safe compromise.

And I hate hearing myself say things I don't even mean.

So what kind of person are you looking for?

Someone I can show every bit of myself to and still feel at ease.

Excuse me.

I fell for your daughter at first sight.

It's about riding the big waves and having a blast.

Doing what you want without being scared.

That's what enjoying life is, no?

You're his cousin, right?

I'm Lee Jae-in.

No-ah's new, best…

boyfriend.

Would you be my boyfriend?

Yes, I'd like that.

What's this?

Looks like you've already met that person.

Am I right?

Have you been to the new restaurant out front?

No.

I heard it's amazing. People line up during lunch hours.

You see the purple-haired guy?

I saw him! He's so cute.

My goodness.

Do you think he has a girlfriend?

What are you looking at?

Look at that.

I'll get going first.

-Bye. -Yeah.

Why did you go radio silent?

I thought you might be uncomfortable.

Then why show up out of nowhere now?

I couldn't hold back anymore.

Did you mean it when you asked me to be your girlfriend?

Yeah.

I can't trust you yet.

I'll make you trust me.

You're too young.

I can't do anything about that.

I'm going to nag you if I can't reach you easily.

I don't want you getting friendly with other women either.

Okay.

I'll be good at messaging and calls

and won't get friendly with other women.

Would you be my boyfriend?

Why aren't you answering?

Yes.

Are you crying?

Why would you cry?

I don't know. I'm just happy.

I was terrified I might never see you again.

If you don't respect me,

I won't respect you either.

Okay.

Even in a relationship,

I'm going to put myself first.

Okay.

If your love fades away…

I won't forgive it and just leave.

Okay.

That's how I'm going to love you.

I want you to do the same.

Okay.

Mr. Lee. What brings you in on the weekend?

I wanted to increase the number of ingredients the AI can identify.

Why are you here on a weekend?

I'm on a flexible schedule.

I left early yesterday because of the kids.

You've got your hands full.

I'm just grabbing some files and heading to the showroom.

-Keep at it. -Yes. Stay strong.

You too.

See you later.

That's enough on the error program.

What should I tweak next?

CHECK THE INGREDIENTS INSIDE ADDED (1), REMOVED (0)

Mom.

Mom,

Si-woo's here.

Si-woo!

Have you been well, ma'am?

Yeah.

-Soo-jin. -Yeah?

Get Si-woo a nice warm cup of tea.

Okay.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Why can't I get a hold of your mom?

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

Then what is it?

Did I do something to upset her?

You kids need to start really preparing for your study abroad.

She probably couldn't take your calls because she's busy with that.

It still amazes me.

Your mom and I promised to become in-laws

when you two were little kids,

and it actually happened.

What are the odds

of two high school best friends having kids at the same time,

raising them together, and walking into a wedding hall hand in hand

as in-laws?

It felt like a dream.

And I remember you looked so handso--

Who are you?

Mother.

I guess

I must…

look like your mother.

See you later!

Doesn't Hye-ji look so beautiful today?

I can't wait to see the actual wedding.

Are you on your way?

Ji-yoon.

PARK BEOM-SU

A college couple success story!

You two happy to get married?

Happy you'll study abroad together?

I'm jealous as hell.

What on earth?

Thanks.

I know it must've been awkward for you.

I guess you're something like

unfinished business for my mom.

Right.

Once she moves into a care home,

she won't call you again.

Although she'll keep asking for you, of course.

I don't think I can do this again either.

I want to be respectful to the person I'm with right now.

You're with someone?

I had no idea.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

She'd be upset if she found out.

I told her before I came.

Oh, right.

You've changed a lot, Si-woo.

The old you

would've tried to solve everything alone.

Did she change you?

Yeah.

I wonder what kind of person she is.

The person you were with just fainted!

Gosh, so beautiful.

Is your boyfriend not here yet?

He's running a bit late.

Why?

There's some work emergency.

Make sure you introduce him before you leave.

Sure.

My friend, you're officially a grown-up now.

You're a mom,

and you're having a wedding.

I can't believe it.

I'm actually super nervous right now.

This isn't the small wedding I planned.

Maybe this wedding was a mistake.

Lee Hye-ji getting nervous? Well, that's new.

Ji-yoon.

Yeah?

I told Ga-eul.

About what?

Your boyfriend's past.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

That was a terrible mistake.

It's okay.

It's not like you made it up. I didn't plan on hiding it anyway.

Stop it if it ever gets too much.

Don't think about anyone else. Put yourself first.

Yeah, I will.

But you're the star today,

so you're the one who should hear that.

Huh?

Hye-ji,

your happiness comes first, okay?

Before your husband, and before your baby.

-Are you crying? -I can't!

Don't make me cry.

I can't cry already.

Next up, the bride's friends will perform a congratulatory song.

Please welcome them with a round of applause.

Where's Ji-yoon's boyfriend?

He must be running late.

What's he so busy with?

Can't you just keep your nose out of it?

Hye-ji,

congratulations on your wedding.

Congratulations, Hye-ji.

Maybe, back at the very beginning

It was as if time had stopped

It was like you had walked

From a place in an unknown land

Like the welcome snow

At the dawn of early winter

That hurried into autumn

You came to me

Your bright smile

Is exactly what I love

But sometimes

The sad look I see in your eyes

Weighs on my heart

I want to know

Everything about you Even the smallest things

But for some reason

You don't ever tell me

If that's the case

I will visit you in your dreams When you're asleep at night

And quietly listen to your story

Quietly listen to

Your story

Dig into Kang Si-woo and find his weakness.

Be my secret confidant, okay?

It's too heavy a secret to keep to myself.

Ji-yoon!

What's wrong? Did something happen?

No, nothing's wrong.

Is it because of him?

What are you getting at?

I just want you to be happy,

but you don't look happy at all right now.

I heard he was married once.

To the mentor you always talked about, no less.

So what?

You should've met someone better after we broke up,

not someone who'll make things hard.

Why choose such a difficult path?

Cho Ga-eul.

I'm not trying to get back together.

I just…

I don't want you to date him.

Watch what you're saying.

You're out of line.

Don't overstep, Mr. Cho.

You're not right for Ji-yoon.

She deserves someone better.

That's for Ms. Ji-yoon to decide.

You don't have the right to say that.

I do have the right.

Ji-yoon and I

are long-time friends.

No.

If this is your idea of friendship,

I can't do it.

Forever.

You promised

you wouldn't be late.

Something came up.

You should've just not come then.

You ended up

hearing things you didn't need to hear.

I'm fine.

It just pains me that you

had to hear those things.

I saw

old photos of you two today.

You were smiling so beautifully…

and I hated that.

I know it was ages ago

and has nothing to do with me,

but it still hurt.

Ms. Ji-yoon.

I thought I could handle this well…

but maybe I was fooling myself.

Just ask me instead of imagining things in your head.

Tell me if anything pains you.

Yes.

It's painful.

Seeing you with Ms. Choi,

waiting while you go meet her family,

not being able to say that I'm dating you… It's all hard.

But the hardest part is

that I knew all of this going in,

so the only person I can blame

is myself and no one else.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry

that the choices I made ended up

affecting you too, Ms. Ji-yoon.

I can't believe the first "Sorry" I'm hearing from Mr. Kang is this.

I knew it.

Love really is the worst.

You're apologizing for something that isn't mine to forgive.

No, it's something only you can forgive.

It would've been better if I didn't know from the start.

Then,

I could've just crushed on you without worries and let it run its course.

I hurt him with words

I shouldn't say,

secretly hoping

they'll cut as painfully as possible.

The bigger my feelings for you get…

the smaller I feel.

Why do I have to shoulder your past too?

Back then, and even now,

the one who wears me out the most…

I'm sorry…

that I'm just not as strong as you.

…is always…

myself.

SPECIAL THANKS TO NAM KEE-AE

His vibe feels different.

Doesn't Mr. Kang look totally amazing today?

Did you find the answer?

I can't change the past,

but I can change the present, don't you think?

Open wide.

Don't treat me like a child.

About the guy who fixed my cassette player…

He's a decent kid. And a lonely one.

Can you tell me the reason why you two got divorced?

There's something between these two.

I found it.

If we mess up the demo…

What on earth is all this?

Did you hack this system?
