I applied to become your webtoon producer.

(Did Yeon Ho truly love Cha Young?)

I would like to work with you...

purely as your webtoon producer, Mr. Park.

If you think I'm not qualified enough,

you can fire me right away.

Of course, I will.

When it comes to my work, I'm very picky...

and objective.

Then, can I take that as a yes to my offer to be your producer?

You know so much about my webtoon.

There's no reason to turn it down.

Thank you.

By the way, are you going on a trip?

Oh, that. I'm following Ms. Seo's tactic.

I carry some things with me to help the artists.

Would you like to check them out?

This is an electric massager.

This is for artists who prefer manual massages.

I tried this out. It was pretty relaxing.

- Do you want me to do it for you? - No. I'm good.

Feel free to tell me if there's anything you need.

I'll get it for you right away.

Okay.

Oh, right. After reading your storyline,

I came up with a list of things I should research.

Until when do you need them by?

Can you research the 1st and 3rd one by the end of today?

Sure. You got it.

Just give me some time.

Pardon?

Ms. Han. Ms. Han!

She can look them up online. Where is she going?

- Yes, Mother. - Mr. Hwang.

Can you spare me some of your time? I must talk to you.

- Well, today... - Are you not available?

Gosh, that's a problem.

No.

I'll be there by 1pm.

Yes. Okay.

Secretary Nam,

you said I didn't have any meetings after the signing event, right?

Yes. Today is Saturday, so I pushed the inspection...

of the clinical trial lab to next Monday.

I see.

Come in.

Did you ask to see me?

Send this via courier service on Monday.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello?

Ms. Seo?

I would like to meet with you soon. Can you spare me some time?

Yes. I'm free that day.

Okay. I'll visit you at your house.

(Chairwoman Kim Sun Hee of Sejong Medical Foundation)

- Ta-da. - Ta-da.

My goodness. You girls are the best.

We came here to feed you lunch.

Your webtoon starts next week. We're here for moral support.

- Do you want some coffee? - No, we're leaving soon.

After you answer one question.

- About what? - Isn't that obvious?

Did you ask your boyfriend?

About living with each other in little steps?

Of course.

He said okay.

Hey. You guys are like a weekend couple.

And it's less risky than completely moving in together.

It's perfect.

You can still have some personal time for yourself.

And you can focus on each other when you're together.

Well, it'd be nice if Chestnut would think the same.

Hey!

- Oh, no. - Oh, gosh.

I hope he doesn't see it as a step toward marriage.

Oh, right. Your parents haven't been pestering you about marriage?

You're right. Why are they so quiet?

Honey, don't hesitate. Just go at it.

Okay. I'll say...

He's here.

Ready. Action.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't say that. We called you at the last minute. We're sorry.

Sit down now.

You're so tall. My neck hurts from looking up to see your face.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Why are you sitting with your back so straight?

It's suffocating.

Exactly. He has such nice facial features.

It's suffocating.

Not getting involved might be their tactic...

in case you run away to outer space if they push you to get married.

I don't mind that.

I hope they aren't setting it up behind my back.

Gosh, no way.

- We do not approve... - We do not...

- approve of this marriage. - of this marriage.

Wait. Hyeon Ju doesn't want to get married.

What? Then, are you telling us that you don't want to marry my daughter?

No. I want to marry her.

But we cannot give you our blessing.

May I ask why?

We have concluded that you are not a suitable match...

for our daughter, Hyeon Ju.

You're handsome like eye candy.

When you walk around with that face of yours,

other women will look at you.

Then, my daughter will be stressed out.

Then, I won't go out. I'll stay at home.

What?

(You're too tall.)

What's next?

If you marry my daughter, I'm sure...

your family will mistreat and look down on her.

- I can see right through that. - That won't happen.

And I won't let her get treated that way.

That might just be empty talk, for all we know.

Anyway, I want you to stop dating Hyeon Ju.

Gosh. I understand that you can't trust me.

I never had a chance to show you who I really am.

Actually, you did leave a good impression on...

So what is your point?

I'll do everything.

If there's a way to prove my true intentions,

I'll do whatever it takes. Please just tell me what it is.

It's up to you to prove that to us.

Must we tell you how to solve your problem?

Honey, let's go.

Wait. Mother.

Drink ours too.

Father.

I think we were too harsh on him.

Yes, we were.

But let's wait for now. He said he'd show us his true intentions.

- Gosh. Oh, my knee. - Oh, my.

Is that acting up again?

- What will I do with my joint? - Gosh.

We have no choice now.

Let's cancel the gathering, go home, and rest.

There's no need.

I will take care of Father.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

We're done buying groceries. Shall we go home?

All right. It's a limited offer!

A pack of beef bulgogi costs 20 dollars,

but I'm giving it away for 9.9 dollars!

- Only for the first five customers! - Bulgogi?

- Hurry! - We must buy that.

- Give us bulgogi, please. - Okay.

- Give us 2 packs. - I want 1 pack too!

- Me too. - My goodness. You're buying a lot.

My gosh.

I heard when a husband is madly in love with his wife,

he'd do anything for her family.

- Give me one. - Sir.

- Give me that. - There's a lot over there.

- Hurry. - I want one too.

Hey, Hyeon Ju.

Me? I'm at the market. I had a gathering.

Why did you call me?

Just because. I was curious what you were up to.

Mother, let's go.

Wasn't that Mr. Hwang?

What are you talking about? I'm busy. Bye.

Mom!

Gosh.

(Mr. Hwang)

The person you have reached is not available.

I can definitely tell she's up to something.

Where did Ms. Han go?

It's been three hours since she left.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry I'm late.

Donating blood took longer than I expected.

You donated blood?

You asked me to research it.

I read all the posts online,

but it didn't specify how hard it was.

And it didn't talk about how they felt afterwards...

or their physical condition.

I thought it was lacking, so I did it myself.

But still. You didn't have to do it yourself.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yes, of course. Should I brief you now?

Are you okay? Ms. Han.

My gosh. I'm sorry. Was I out for long?

You didn't fall asleep. You passed out.

I want you to eat this and rest for now.

Thank you.

I've been overworking myself lately.

But in return, I'll give you a detailed account of my experience.

I'm sure it will be helpful when you write your lines.

Okay. But you don't have to do that next time.

Isn't this how Ms. Seo worked?

Even she didn't think to give blood.

You one-upped Hyeon Ju.

That's a compliment, right?

Of course. Please eat now.

Okay.

By the way, I don't usually eat a lot.

What's wrong with that?

Hyeon Ju raids my fridge whenever she comes.

You must eat a lot to get energy.

Then, thank you.

- Gosh. Goodness. - Exactly.

- Did you enjoy your food? - We finished eating, right?

- Yes. - It was so good.

- Right. - All right. Everyone.

Now that we had some meat and drinks,

I'm sure you know what's next.

- Yes. - All right, then.

Let's welcome the first singer of today's event.

Please give him a round of applause.

- Here. - Gosh. I'm not a real singer.

But what are you doing there?

What are you doing there?

I believed in love

But it stabbed me in the back

Yes, you, I'm talking about you

What are you doing there?

You said you were tired

So I wished you a goodnight

I was even worried that you might be sick

But what are you doing?

What are you doing here?

You live in Yeonsinnae, but I'm in Gangnam now

And I passed by a loud club

Who did I see at the club?

What are you

What are you doing

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Well, let me explain.

Hyeon Ju.

I can explain everything. Let's go.

Get home safely.

Good job today.

I really don't know what's wrong with my parents.

I insisted on helping them.

And they kept trying to stop me.

My point is, they shouldn't have tried to test you from the get-go.

They must have been very worried.

They weren't certain that if I was the man...

who could make you happy.

Marriage must be that important to you, Ji Woo.

I don't want us to be apart anymore.

I want to stay with you until the day I die.

Do you believe our relationship will be only complete...

with marriage?

I'm not sure. That's a hard question.

If what you want isn't forming a family,

but spending the rest of your life with me,

I don't believe marriage has to be such a big part of our lives.

You don't have to answer that now.

I'll wait.

Tell me once you've made up your mind.

And...

whatever you decide to do,

I hope you make that decision for you.

Okay. I'll think about it.

(Kim Sun Hee of Sejong Medical Foundation)

When I was going through Jin Ho's keepsakes,

I found this.

I'm not sure if you will believe me,

but I know...

what this ring means to Jin Ho,

I couldn't throw it out.

I hope you will return this to its rightful owner.

And...

I cannot bring myself to ask for your forgiveness.

I will live...

the rest of my life in repentance.

Ma'am, you have a visitor.

Please sit.

Would you like some tea?

I'm all right.

You can go now.

You have gotten thinner than the last time I saw you.

I'm sorry about the other day.

I wasn't in any condition to receive visitors.

No, don't apologize. It's okay.

Can I ask you what you were going to tell me...

that day?

If you came to reprimand me,

I will face it.

It's been...

over 40 years...

since Jin Ho died...

and Song Min Ju and Woo Young died in an accident.

If I had never met Mr. Hwang,

I wouldn't have been able to understand...

why you can't escape your past life...

and choose to live in pain.

You even withdrew from school...

and tried to live a different life under a new name.

But I heard you failed to do that too.

Because of what I did,

three people had died.

No matter how much I tried to erase what I did,

I couldn't do it.

Will it be gone once I die?

I'm not Song Min Ju.

However, right now,

let me tell you this as Song Min Ju, not Seo Hyeon Ju.

Su Jeong.

It's not your fault.

Everything that happened to us...

probably pained you too.

You kept digging it up,

so the wound never healed.

That's why it's more painful.

But stop torturing yourself.

Once the wound heals completely,

even if you see the scar later,

it won't bring back painful memories.

When that happens,

live your own life.

Do I...

deserve that?

Of course.

I'm sorry, Min Ju.

I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

Everything will be okay.

Ji Woo.

Can we meet now?

I want to give you the answer I couldn't give you the other day.

It's the wedding ring I gave to you in our past life.

Of course, the wedding never happened.

On my birthday,

when I thought you passed out after breathing in smoke,

do you know what went through my head?

"We don't have to get married. But please..."

"don't take her away from me."

That's probably what I truly wanted.

I will stop putting so much importance on marriage.

What I truly want...

is not marrying you.

It's you.

In this life,

I will never let go of your hand.

I won't rely on our marriage.

But I want to rely on our love for each other...

and spend my life with you.

If you let go of my hand,

I'll hold your hand again.

Let's continue to have each other in this life.

After having a ceremony to celebrate my decision not to get married,

people often asked me why. Well, I didn't have a grand reason.

Just like how many people decide...

and announce futures at weddings,

I just wanted to tell people that I'd live diligently...

in my own way.

- Hello. - Hi.

- I like this webtoon. - Is this the one?

Yes, it is.

(Why won't you get married?)

I'm in the webtoon. That's me.

It's a hit.

My gosh, look at this. The numbers keep going up!

- My gosh. - It's a huge hit.

She's getting a lot of comments.

I could spend all night reading these comments.

(No marriage? I'll support you to the end. You're the best!)

(I ran out of webtoons to read. I found a good one today.)

Webtoon Artist Seo Hyeon Ju,

congratulations on your successful debut.

(Congratulations on your successful debut.)

(You're the best! I'm getting married, but I still enjoyed it.)

(I support the artist and everyone who's creating their own life.)

Hyeon Ju.

Congratulations.

Oh, right. Ta-da.

How beautiful. Thank you.

And thank you for leaving the first comment.

"I support the artist and everyone..."

"who's creating their own life."

That was you, right?

I promised.

I told you I would be the first one to leave a comment when you debut.

Oh, right. And this is the part where I could relate the most.

(I just wanted to tell people that I'd live diligently...)

(in my own way.)

Hyeon Ju.

Why don't we have an event where we tell people...

how we plan to live as a couple?

Even if we don't get married,

we can tell them we'll love each other...

and live happily together.

We can make a promise.

Sure.

Are you ready?

What is it?

Am I too pretty?

So you already know.

- I know, I can't wait. - Right.

Hey, don't be nervous.

Don't be nervous. Be natural.

That's right.

Hyeon Ju and Ji Woo are here.

Really?

Gosh, my heart keeps beating.

It's not like she's getting married.

But it feels like she is.

Hello.

I'm Oh Yeong Eun, your host for my dear friend, Hyeon Ju,

and Mr. Hwang Ji Woo's ceremony...

to declare their plan of not getting married.

Okay. Let me bring in the couple, Seo Hyeon Ju and Hwang Ji Woo.

Everyone, please give them a warm welcome.

- Yes. - Yes.

You look beautiful, Hyeon Ju!

You look beautiful.

You look beautiful, Hyeon Ju!

You look beautiful.

Today,

in front of our families and our dear friends,

we are going to make a promise.

- I, Seo Hyeon Ju... - I, Hwang Ji Woo,

will diligently live our own lives...

instead of consolidating our lives through marriage.

Instead of treating each other as the other half,

we will accept and respect each other as separate individuals.

- We will not... - We will not...

- let go of each other's hands. - let go of each other's hands.

Hyeon Ju finally found her lifelong companion.

Hold on. But am I not allowed to say "a lifelong companion"?

Of course, you can say it. The world has changed.

Even if you don't get married,

the person you'll spend the rest of your life with...

is a lifelong companion.

Goodness.

- Look at that over there. - Right.

Doesn't that look cool? Right?

Hold on. Let me see that.

Let's go and look.

As love can't last forever,

people were forced to create a system called marriage.

Some people say marriage completes love.

But there is no right answer.

It doesn't matter which path you choose.

You just have to choose a path that makes you happy.

And when we stand at the end of the path we chose,

I don't care how people perceive us.

He will be my forever lover,

friend,

and family.
