What's wrong?

Mom!

Mom, what's wrong?

My stomach suddenly...

Mom, how does it hurt? Get up.

My stomach hurts a lot...

Mom, get up, ok? We gotta go to the hospital.

You can't? Then get on my back.

Come on, we gotta go to the hospital.

Bear it a little bit, ok?

Should I call and ask where they are?

It's ok. No need. Only a few minutes have passed.

Yeah, just wait. There must be traffic.

Yeah.

Mom, mom, you aren't unconscious, are you?

Mom!

No...

Ok, bear it a bit. We'll get there soon.

We need help here.

This way.

Mom.

Lay her here.

She said her stomach hurt suddenly and she's in agony.

Since when?

It was sudden. Less than an hour ago.

It started to hurt 2 days ago and became serious this morning...

Two days ago? Why didn't you tell me?

Alright.

Straighten your leg. I'll feel it first.

Ok.

What's wrong, doctor?

X ray looks normal. It looks like a neurotic intestinal spasm as I expected

We have to wait but 1 or 2 days in the hospital and rest will make her better.

I also recommend a colonoscopy.

I see, thanks.

But why did it happen all of a sudden? It's never happened before.

I think she was under extreme stress. Did something happen lately?

Please take care of paperwork now. We gotta move her to the ward.

Ok.

He won't pick up?

No.

Something must've happened.

Even then, shouldn't he call?

Look at the time. It's been almost 50 minutes.

He could be unable to call.

What now?

Should we keep waiting?

It's me. Where are you?

I'm sorry I called you too late.

I'm in the hospital.

Mom got sick suddenly. She was hospitalized.

What? Hospitalized?

Why so suddenly? How sick is she?

An intestinal spasm?

Is it serious?

A couple days of hospitalization will do.

I couldn't call because it was so hectic.

I'm sorry.

Please convey my apology to your parents.

Ok. It's ok. I understand.

He apologizes.

Ok. Put me on.

Wait. Father wants to talk to you.

No, don't...

[Kyung-Woo? It's me.]

Hi, father.

I'm really sorry.

No, that's not what I wanted to hear. Is your mother really sick?

I'm relieved. It's ok.

It's beyond our control, so don't worry.

[We can set another date, so don't worry about it.]

Take good care of her so that she'll recover.

Take good care of her so that she'll recover. Ok.

I'll put Geum back on.

Yeah, it's me. Let's talk later.

Ok.

Mom.

When did you wake up?

Are you ok now? Not hurting?

What'd they say?

They say it's a neurotic intestinal spasm. You need to stay here for 2 days.

An intestinal spasm?

Prop up my pillow.

You should lie down.

Lean back.

Are you really ok? It doesn't hurt?

I was so terrified.

Terrified? Why?

Didn't you desperately try to knock me down?

Jeez...

So?

How do you feel now that you've finally done it?

How can you say that? I'm your son.

My son?

Are you really?

Did my wedding distress you that much?

Why didn't you oppose then?

You consented so easily, so I was really impressed by your understanding.

Do you know why I held the pain in and gave my consent, you ingrate?

It's because I knew you'd get more stubborn if I tried to stop you.

You were out of your mind, so I didn't wanna pour fuel on the fire.

That's why I gave my consent, ok?

I see you are ok now that you raise your voice.

Is that why you consented?

Yeah.

I thought you'd come to your senses some day if I left you alone.

And then... you ingrate.

I was almost dead and got hospitalized, and you had to call her first to apologize?

Did you hear that?

It's my stomach, not my ears! It was right outside of the door.

'I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry...'

If you keep doing this, you will only regret when I die.

Do you wanna cry thinking of me after I die?

Do you really wanna marry her? Even if I'm dying?

Bastard, you won't answer.

It's not that. It's not...

You should've stopped me firmly from the start then.

If you had stopped me with your life, who knows?

I might have reconsidered.

You know...

I loved Min-Sun with all my heart.

With all my heart.

I did.

I don't know what's going on.

Stomach and intestinal spasm happen suddenly.

But I was terrified, honey. Because I had a past experience.

Did you think of 2 years ago?

Of course.

It was similar to when Geum broke up before the wedding 2 years ago.

Kyung-Woo didn't show up after 50 minutes and he didn't call nor pick up.

I tried not to, but I recalled that nightmare

and I got so nervous and my back got so sweaty.

I was the same.

I couldn't show it to Geum, but I was worried sick.

It's not appropriate to say,

but I was so relieved when I heard his mom was hospitalized.

She must really be hospitalized, right?

Don't worry. He didn't sound like he was lying.

He was calm and kept apologizing. He sounded sincere.

You can rest assured.

That's why you wanted to talk to him. To hear him, huh?

Yeah.

His mother might be sick, but he stood us up for 50 minutes.

Why would I wanna assure him on the phone?

Mom.

Yeah, come in.

I'll be back.

She's sick, so I guess I have to pay a visit.

Yeah, go. Of course you should

Yeah, go. Bring pretty flowers.

Ok, I'll be back.

Look, her face is bright again.

She's really hospitalized.

What was I thinking?

You must've been alarmed. How is she?

She's fine.

Why did you come? It's only 2 days.

But I should come see her.

Can I see her for a moment?

She's sleeping. The doctor told her to rest today.

I see...

Then give this to her. I'll go.

If she needs rest, she should sleep.

Ok.

And what about today's appointment with the wedding shop?

I guess you can't keep it?

Alright then.

Let's do it later. I'll make another appointment.

Yeah. That would be better.

I worried a lot.

I'm relieved you don't look as down as I thought.

Call me if you need my help.

If you need someone by her side or whatever.

I'll run no matter when you call me.

I'm a good runner, you know.

I'll go. Don't come.

Don't skip meals.

Wow, crabs. They're alive.

Give us some. Female ones.

How much per kg?

Fifteen dollars.

It's me. What?

I wanted to thank you for the clothes. I never properly thanked you.

Is that why you called? It's ok, it was so long ago.

I can't talk long. If it's not important -

[No, so if it's ok with you, I'll bring your clothes now.]

[To your place.]

It's ok. I'm outside. I'll be busy.

Ok, got it.

Then come to pick them up or call me. I'll bring them any time.

Yeah.

Why is she so busy on the weekend?

Go wash your hands first.

Yeah.

Huh? Are you already cooking? Leave it, I'll do it today.

What is it?

Crabs. Fresh, huh? Tae-Il loves them so much.

What are you gonna make? A stew?

Yeah, I bought only 3 because they were so expensive.

Tae-Il likes them steamed,

but there are only 3, so it won't be enough for all.

He doesn't like too many clams. Smells too much. Ok?

I get it.

So you two made up?

Of course, mother. Nothing is wrong.

I'll get it.

Are you back?

Hello, father.

Hi. Tae-Il is here too.

Ok.

I'm back. I met father out front.

I see. Is Young-Hwan well?

Yeah, they look like honeymooners.

Of course. They married not too long ago.

You should've told them to come see me some day.

I see. He misses you too.

I'll go up.

Ok.

From what I saw, they seemed to have made up.

You agree?

Well, I don't know.

What do you know?

How can I golf well when you're like that?

You're later than I thought.

How was Young-Hwan's baby's birthday?

I made crab stew. I bought fresh ones at the seafood market.

Dinner is almost ready, so wash up and eat dinner first.

Give it to me.

Don't touch me.

Honey.

Honey, let's talk.

How should I resolve your anger...

Hello? Honey?

Dad!

I'm busy.

Move. I have to go to work.

Hyo-Eun, come here.

Let's talk.

I have a meeting.

Tae-Il, let's talk!

Do you know where we are?

So let's talk.

Isn't it too petty to take it out on the kid?

So how long are you gonna do this?

At least let me know how long I have to suffer.

Suffer? What are you suffering?

Don't argue and just tell me. So that I can plan how to respond.

Whether I'm gonna lay low or act out.

You have the nerve to say that?

I do.

Do you know how astounded I am?

Didn't you cheat too?

Why are you doing this to me when you did too?

You cheated on me too!

So, does the fact that I cheated justify your affair?

I didn't mean that.

I didn't, but we both made mistakes, so can't we let it go?

Can't you understand?

What makes you act so shamelessly to me?

Why shouldn't I be? You cheated too!

Is it the same for men and women?

What's different? Men, women, they're all human.

They both get tired when they eat the same food day in and day out.

They get bored with their spouse after years of marriage and dream of an affair.

They all have the desire to look attractive to someone other than their spouse!

Whether he or she will suppress a desire or instinct to observe the rule of marriage

depends on his or her maturity and quality, not on gender.

Both you and I are immature and selfish in that respect.

So why do you keep tormenting me like this?

So let's stop now, ok?

I can't breathe.

Because you're like this, I start losing the little guilt I had.

Let's stop, Tae-Il.

Please let it slide like I did. Then I'll be better to you.

I really can't breathe. You know how impatient I am!

How...

How can you be so shameless and cheeky?

What?

You start to lose what little guilt you had?

You don't really feel sorry to me, huh?

You cheated on me without any guilt.

Because I cheated, you thought you could, huh?

You planned this without any guilt.

It's ringing. It's yours.

Take it. You have a meeting.

Yes, it's Tae-Il.

Yeah? When?

I'll go. I have to work too. Let's talk at home.

Ms. Lee.

Manager Cha will have the Rome data in her computer.

Print the coliseum pictures.

Ok.

What are you doing at my desk?

I asked her to print the coliseum.

You should've waited for me.

I don't like anyone touching my computer.

I'll do it.

Go do your work.

Why would I be here? Of course I will.

to delete this folder?>

Hey, it's time.

Get up. Hey, get up.

What are you doing?

Hey. Get up.

You're dying. Sit up.

I'm dying. Staying up for 3 nights.

Part-timing in the ER is murder.

I know. You got bags under your eyes.

You didn't go home and came here directly?

It's not that I didn't. I couldn't.

They'd suspect if I came home in the morning.

I don't really get it.

Why are you refusing the secure path to be a doctor?

It's not that I hate it. I'm just doing what's better.

What time is it?

I'm late. Let's go.

The academy charges a lot. We can't skip one day.

Let's go.

When did you sign up for ballet?

The basis of all dance is ballet.

I started dance late, so I need to learn the basics.

Are the girls pretty?

Not really.

People are waiting. Hop in.

It stinks.

What's this smell?

We're gonna rot!

Hey, didn't you fart?

I did.

Then why did you blame her?

If I hadn't, people would've blamed me.

Let's hurry.

You're great.

Kyung-Woo speaking.

[It's me.]

Yeah.

I'm at the furniture store with mom.

She wants to know if the room is big enough to fit the largest bed.

I said you don't have to buy a bed.

[Mom's insistent. I have no choice.]

It's big. It'll fit.

Alright. Thanks.

See you at the wedding shop. I'll leave soon.

He said it's big. The biggest will be fine.

Then let's buy a king size. Let's buy this.

Isn't this too expensive?

We're not buying much. Just a bed and a dresser.

They might as well be nice.

And you keep them long, so you need good quality ones.

We'll take this.

Ok, it's a great choice, ma'am. Take your time and come here.

It's done. I'll do the rest, so you can go.

Pick a pretty wedding dress.

I think Kyung-Woo has far better taste than you, so pick whatever he likes.

Alright.

I'll go, so don't tire yourself shopping around now and go home.

Don't worry about me.

Since I heard you'd get married, I've been so energetic.

Go already.

Bye.

Hey. You're right on time.

Did your mother check out?

Yes. This morning.

I don't have much time. I have editing to do.

Let's hurry.

Ok. So I already picked a few. Your tuxedo too.

Look.

Just try it. I have to see.

Should I?

I will then.

He's speechless. Isn't she beautiful?

How is it? Is it good?

I don't know. Try another.

You don't like it?

No. I'm not sure.

Ok.

I heard you can only decide after trying many.

I'll try the other one.

Please come out.

He left for the station in a hurry. He said he'd call you.

The station?

You don't know what it is about?

No. He just said it's urgent. He said he'd call.

Ok.

What happened? He could've called me.

Hello, Kyung-Woo?

Where are you?

Can I see you for a moment? I'll go there.

I'm fine, but is it ok with you?

Yes, I know.

OK, see you there.

He sounds better than I thought.

Mom, it's me. I'll be late.

Yeah, I'll eat out.

With Kyung-Woo? Ok.

Ah, did you pick a pretty dress?

Sis, we need oil. Where is it?

In the shelf under the sink.

We're eating beef with grandpa, grandma and aunt.

Yeah, hectic. Ok, let's talk later.

Bye.

In the shelf under the sink? I'll get it.

Bring some garlic too.

What happened to you?

You bought prime Korean beef, not pork as usual.

There are days like this too.

Jeez.

Well, you must be walking on cloud nine, so what would you wanna spare?

Help yourself, ma'am.

You're the one responsible for Geum's marriage.

You're the only one who appreciates me.

It was just a lucky coincidence, but I guess we owe you.

And don't worry.

You never know until the moment you die.

It wasn't intentional, but you did something good

so something good will happen to Soo-Kyung too.

Of course mother. Of course.

Don't worry, grandma, uncle. I don't wanna get married yet.

Soo-Kyung, thank you.

Help yourself. You want some beer?

Yeah, something was missing.

Stay. I'll get it.

Thanks, Soo-Kyung.

Later.

Why? Give them now.

Here.

Use it for the wedding.

Father.

It's not much.

We can't just watch when Geum is getting married.

Father, mother, you shouldn't have.

Take it. We can afford it.

Of course.

Ok, father. Thank you.

Father, thank you. Gosh...

Goodness.

It's not little. It's $1,000.

We gotta give as much for Geum's wedding.

I don't know if it's enough...

but buy something like a bed or a fridge to remember us by.

I don't know how long we'll live,

but something that will outlast us will be better.

Mom!

I'm just saying.

Father, mother, thank you.

Ok.

I'll give money on the day.

You don't have to do anything. Geum's getting married thanks to you.

How can I not?

What are you doing? What's taking so long?

Coming.

Please have some.

Ok.

I'm back.

Were you home?

Did you really plan it out?

Did you?

Thinking back on what happened and what you said, I think you did.

Did you?

Answer. Answer!

Yes.

I did plan it out. To get even, ok?

Hey.

Sit.

What's up? I worried a lot.

How urgent was it to leave without a word?

I'll explain.

You want something? Coffee please.

Ok.

Well... Do you have milk?

Yes.

Then milk please.

I haven't had dinner yet. Have you?

No.

Then let's eat something good later.

My treat.

Coach Lee.

Let's give up on the wedding.

Let's give up. I can't do this.

Wh... what do you mean?

I really can't do this.

We came this far without any feelings, but I can't go any further.

I realized that today. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm the one who orchestrated everything, so I'll take all responsibility.

I've paid all the expenses, so it won't matter.

I'll even compensate your monetary losses.

List them out and ask me. I'll pay for them all.

You don't even have to repay the $4,000 or the $2,000 I gave you last time.

Consider this my apology for taking it this far.

Excuse me.

Why are you suddenly like this? Did something happen?

I don't know how to take this.

Did I do something wrong?

It's not that.

Like I said, I realized now that I shouldn't marry like this.

Marriage shouldn't be like this.

You know that too, right?

Once more, I apologize. Sincerely.

I'll go.

Kyung-Woo.

Go.

Bye.

Kyung-Woo!

Kyung-Woo! Kyung-Woo!

Why does she keep calling?

Hello?

It's me. Let's talk.

I'm at your house.

What about? I've said all I had to say.

I have something to say.

I saw a park nearby. I'll be there. Bye.

Jeez.

Hey.

Talk.

I don't understand why you're like this.

I know marriage shouldn't be like this, but you knew from the start too.

We didn't decide to marry out of love.

That's what I asked you before. Whether you were gonna marry me.

I asked to think hard and stop it if you weren't sure.

But you clearly said yes.

Remember?

Yes.

Then why are you being like this? We even sent out invitations.

The only thing left is our parents' meeting.

That's why I apologized. Again and again.

That's why I'm paying it all.

Kyung-Woo.

Let's stop this. It'll just tire us.

Whatever you say, I can't do this.

Everyone gets cold feet before the wedding.

All my married friends did. I also -

It's no use.

I'll never marry you.

It's preposterous. A person should keep his promise!

If you say that, then attempting a loveless marriage is as preposterous!

That's why I'm trying to undo everything!

But I feel responsible for taking things this far.

I've said it many times, but I'll compensate your losses.

That's not the problem!

If you were gonna do this, you should've said no when I asked a few days ago.

Goodness...

That's why I keep saying sorry.

What do you want from me? I can't marry no matter what!

How can you say that?

How can you back out now?

Will this all resolve itself just because you backed out?

What about me? What should I do?

Don't talk nonsense.

There's nothing you can't do.

We have to marry, no matter what.

So let's. No matter what.

Kyung-Woo.

Is there a reason for this sudden change?

If you're disappointed or if I've done something wrong.

Tell me then -

You want to know?

Yes.

The moment I saw you in that dress,

I realized that I didn't want to marry you, no matter what.

I thought I'd rather do anything else than marry you at that moment!

You were supposed to marry me, but I felt nothing when I saw you wear that dress.

I only got queasy and wanted to run. So how could I marry you?

If you choked up and got nauseous at the sight of someone in a wedding dress,

could you marry her?

I didn't expect to marry out of love, but I at least expected you to grow on me.

But for the last two months,

I've never even wanted to hold your hand, let alone sleep with you!

Even when I was drunk and kissed you, it felt like I was kissing a rock!

Could you marry like that?

You couldn't, right?

So accept it.

Clinging and protesting with unreasonable excuses...

only makes you look desperate.

You should know by now. You still don't know how I am?

How mean and stubborn I am?

Why couldn't you accept it without making me

say things that you didn't need to hear?

Even I don't feel good about it!

Just go.

Don't make yourself more miserable.
