Episode 41

Sis, I paid.

Thanks.

You're shocked, huh?

You really didn't know?

No.

Not at all.

I've gone 6 months missing my period before.

I'm irregular, and since the divorce, many things have happened.

I thought I was just too tired. I never suspected I was pregnant.

I'm dumbfounded. How can my life be like this?

We tried so hard to have a baby.

Even when we were abroad we tried a lot. I did get pregnant but I miscarried.

You did?

And how...

How come it didn't come when we wanted it so much...

...and it comes when it shouldn't?

This is terrible.

Please keep it to yourself.

Don't tell your mom, mine or Geum. Until I make up my mind. Ok?

Ok.

It's cold. Let's go.

Yeah.

I won't be able to have kids. Because I have to take medication all my life.

Father.

Where were you?

I caught a cold, so I went with Soo-Kyung to see a doctor.

She's parking. Are you alone?

No, mom is here and so are your grandparents.

So are you okay?

Yeah. I got a shot and the fever is gone.

- I'm back. - Hi.

I'll go up.

Sure. Go rest.

What on earth did Kyung-Woo's mother say?

What made you change your mind completely?

What about it? You said you couldn't let her either.

But grounding her? And taking her cell phone?

What's the point of dragging it on if they're gonna break up?

It'll be more painful.

So tell me. What did she say to you? How come you changed over night?

I told you. She'd never allow it and accused me of being shameless.

Is that all?

What? You don't think it's serious?

It's not that.

You know we were told something else just now.

That she's barren?

What's more important is her happiness and health.

It is. Of course.

Then what more do you wanna say?

You wouldn't know, but she looked so mean and greedy.

If you saw her...

...you'd think our Geum couldn't live long with such a mother in-law.

Goodness...

'The phone is turned off...'

Kyung-Woo. I'm in front of the station. Did you turn it off because you're filming?

Please call me soon.

Maybe he doesn't know he's out of battery.

Kyung-Woo?

Seung-Ki...

Is it serious?

Yes, I'll be there.

Coach.

Seung-Ki.

He's had a cold for 2 weeks...

...but it got serious this morning and he's been totally out of it.

He doesn't have inflammation, so once his fever goes down he can go home.

I see.

Where is he?

Bro. Open your eyes.

Don't wake him up.

Seeing you will help him recover.

Bro!

Kyung-Woo.

Stay down.

How did you come?

Does it hurt? How come you're sick?

Excuse me.

Are you okay? How did you...

I'm not hallucinating, right?

I thought you wanted to break up with me.

Your phone was off and you didn't call me for 2 days.

So I thought you hated me because of my mom.

Mom took my phone. That's why it was off.

I see.

Good then. Good.

You were really anxious, huh?

I thought you dumped me.

I should've but I have no guts.

Really?

Yeah. Since I met you, I lost them.

Lie down. You look tired.

'Kyung-Woo Ko'

The fever is almost gone. He looks better, huh?

Yes. He got better right after you came.

I have to go back to work. How about you?

Excuse me.

Do you know his mother's phone number? I have to go, too.

I have his cell. I'll just search for 'mom.'

Does he have a problem with his mother?

He's been staying in the editing room for days.

That's why he got sicker.

I found it. I'll call her.

What a surprise.

It's me.

It's me. Go ahead.

Hi, director. I'm sorry it's late. This is Geum Lee.

Why are you calling with my son's phone?

What?

Which hospital? Okay.

Where are you going?

- How are you feeling? - I'm fine now.

I can check out.

Good. The nurse said the fever is gone.

But I have to go.

I wanna stay all night but if I do, mom will get angrier.

I'm sorry to leave you sick here.

If you are, lie here.

Nonsense. This is a hospital.

Do you wanna get kicked out for lewd conduct?

Yeah. That's my wish. Please lie down for a moment.

Just one minute. Just one.

That's ridiculous.

And leaving a sick person alone isn't?

I called the director. She'll come.

What did you do that for?

I'm leaving. Tell them to take this out.

Kyung-Woo.

Do you think I'd wanna see her now?

Alright, alright.

I'll lie down for a moment.

Just for a little. Just 1 minute.

Okay.

Come on.

Why don't we stay out all night after checking out?

No way.

- Why not? - 'Why not'?

Come on. You're sick.

Jeez.

This is the marriage I've dreamt of.

Sleeping warmly with my wife, like two spoons.

Spoons?

Don't we look like a pair of spoons?

That's right.

Let's marry soon and live together.

This is great...

What the hell are you doing?

Go back safely. I'll call you.

Bye, director. Take care.

Couldn't you knock?

Knock?

Where do you think you are? This is a hospital!

What did we do? We're not minors.

Is it ok if you're not?

How about you?

However much you hated her, is it ok to go to her house and rant to her parents?

Go. Why did you come?

I'll rest alone.

Where have you been?

I went to see Kyung-Woo.

Are you gonna ignore what I said?

Yes. I can't stop seeing him.

Do you think I'm doing this for no reason?

You wouldn't be able to live with such a mean mother in-law.

You'd feel you would die without him now, but it won't last long.

See after you get married.

If you see her face every day, you'll get disgusted by him before you know it.

I might, but I'm still getting married.

- You little... - Good night.

Don't you have anything brighter?

- This looks too old. - Huh?

My clothing is the shabbiest in my class. Everyone wears bright colors.

You never complained about clothing.

Alright. I'll look for some after breakfast.

Father. It's so cold. Let's do it later. Eat first.

Father, let's do it together later.

I'll hold it.

This got loose.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes. I got something. Go eat.

- How about breakfast? - I ate. I'll be back.

I'll be back.

How do you know you're pregnant?

I went to the ER thinking it was a cold. I didn't know, but I'm already 4 months.

I thought I had a period twice too.

Let's look at the ultrasound.

See? This is the face.

Good looking.

Heart is doing well. Arm, leg, fingers and toes...

Can you see them?

Do you wanna hear the heartbeat?

Hello?

Yes, this is Hwang Lee.

Yes?

I see. I'll be there.

'Director'

Hello?

Is this Kyung-Ja Yoo's phone? This is Mi-Ja Bok.

Yeah? What's up?

Sure. I meant to call you, too. Good then.

Coffee is better than I thought. It was roasted too much, but the aroma is good.

Try it.

You don't like coffee? Alright.

So what's up? Tell me.

You want me to start?

Your son keeps coming to our place. To marry Geum.

Even before we knew he was your son, my husband didn't like him.

Because one who betrayed once can betray again.

Betrayed once?

Did you already forget he called off wedding?

Oh, that?

Oh that?

Calling it off a few days before the wedding is that insignificant?

I guess it is to you, who took her friend's boyfriend.

I didn't come here to talk about a 30 year old story.

I came to talk about your daughter and my son.

My son was hospitalized yesterday.

I went there and found your daughter and my son stuck together on the bed.

My son is imperfect, but what's your daughter doing?

I'll make sure he won't go to your house again, so manage your daughter.

Do you think she never came to see me?

Do you know how many times she's already come to ask for consent?

I know you're upset, but isn't it true?

You know she's sick, and barren on top of that, right?

What parents would want such a daughter in-law? Isn't it human nature?

It sure is.

It's human nature not to like a sick daughter in-law...

...and also not to seduce a best friend's boyfriend.

Especially when she's pregnant.

They call it human nature to give up on him even if you liked him a lot.

Do you know how I feel...

...when you talk about human nature or being shameless In front of me?

I wanna rip open your mouth.

I didn't seduce him. I just met him at the hometown meeting by accident.

If you didn't have anything to hide, why did you hide it from me?

Why would I tell you? It would've just broken your heart.

Shall I tell your son...

...that I was his mom's best friend in the past and that she took my boyfriend?

That I was pregnant at the time...

...and miscarried due to the shock of finding out?

Are you threatening me?

I didn't know you were pregnant.

Let's stop.

What's the point of talking to a person like you?

Fine.

I'll take care of my daughter...

...so make sure your son...

...who is undependable like you, is never around my house. Ok?

Where did you go?

I wanted to go to the sauna but I decided not to. Why?

Sit, father.

Father, do you hate Kyung-Woo so much?

Don't worry. He's not that bad.

Father. Please be open-minded and meet him just once.

You're good at judging people, so once you meet him...

It's not like I hate him too much to meet him.

But do you have to marry him when his mother opposes so strongly?

Do you think we'd want to marry you off to such a family?

Like you said, we can understand her if we try.

But you're the apple of our eyes, too.

Why would I send you to a family that would treat you so poorly?

There's no reason about it.

Whether you're sick, whether you're barren or not, it doesn't matter to me.

I hate whoever hates my kid.

Father.

Do you still have to marry him? When I am this reluctant?

Father. I'm sorry.

For being sick. I'm really sorry for paining you.

But I'll trouble you just this once.

Give your consent, father. I wanna be with him.

I'll be a good girl after I marry instead.

Where's grandpa?

Why are you looking for him? He went to study at the community center.

Do you think he did? Do you think he only studied?

What do you mean?

Ma'am, you know he's good looking, right?

Anyone would know.

That's what I mean.

If he's good looking to you, don't you think he'd be so to other old ladies?

What?

You should take care yourself and keep a tight rein on him.

Ma'am. Women are women however old they are, and the same goes for men.

Jeez... You must be really bored.

If you knew men so well, why did your husband cheat on you and divorce you?

Ma'am! How could you...

It's a 38 volume children's history books set.

You'll have to work with our designers on the cover, and edit the design.

- Are you interested? - Of course.

I've wanted to do children's books for a while.

But how... My portfolio didn't include any children's books.

Chief Tae-Il Yoo recommended you.

It's for 4 months. Will you do it?

Yes. I'll do my best.

- Good. I'll call you. - Thanks.

Hello?

Oh...

When...

Thank you for coming.

How did this happen?

I think I was distracted. When I came to, I was about to hit the guard rail.

I wasn't injured a lot.

The knee ligament was stretched and I got 10 stitches on my chin.

But luckily no one else got hurt.

I was totally dumped by him.

Don't you think he's crazy? To decline someone like me?

Did you get your head hurt?

I thought he'd be mine once you were gone.

That's why I sent the photos.

So what? Why are you telling this now?

Because we both lost him.

What?

He said he'd remarry.

That he wants to move on.

He has a date today. Did you know?

What the...

Did it stop?

Yes, I think so. Push the emergency button.

I see.

Hello. Is someone there?

This is the management office.

The elevator stopped. After the 6th floor.

I'm sorry. We'll take care of it, so don't panic and wait.

Ok. Please hurry.

You must be frightened.

Yes. A little.

Hello?

Are you Yoon-Soo Kim?

Yes. Tae-Il Yoo?

Yes. I am.

He wants to remarry. He has a date today.

Have you ever been trapped in an elevator before?

No. Have you?

No. It's the first time.

You're so calm.

I'm just pretending. I'm actually shaky inside.

Who'd believe that?

My friends say I'm a coquette.

They wouldn't say that if you really were.

They say I'm no good at it though.

I'm sorry. The elevator is operating again.

- I'm back. - Good. Sit.

- Sit. - Yes.

Looks good.

Tell us how it went. Your mom was anxious all day about the date.

- I liked her. - Really?

Yes. She's like sister in-law. She's calm and elegant.

- That's perfect then. - Gee, you're getting ahead of yourself.

Jeez. Someone like our first daughter in-law used to be his type.

That's why I was shocked when he first brought Hwang home.

Mom. Stop talking about her.

Sure.

So are you gonna see her again?

Wow. You made all this alone?

Yeah. Thinking of you.

Tae-Young. Where have you been all along?

Tae-Young. In the beginning there was the sky, ocean and then your clean eyes.

Ki. You'll get sick if you talk like that before meals.

You don't know, huh? My nickname was the butter prince.

Jeez. Why didn't you tell me before?

Eat. This is really good.

Here.

Father.

If you don't want it, just hold it.

Ah, I got a job.

Yeah?

It's a temporary job as a freelancer.

But it's for a children's book that I've been interested in, so I'll learn a lot.

Is it that hard to get a job?

I'll have one soon.

I'm gonna teach kids, too. Hyo-Eun's friend's mother asked me.

Great.

Yes. I'll work at home as freelancer and apply for all contests.

I'm considering about writing a book, too.

You know J.K. Rowling who wrote Harry Potter series?

Do you know she wrote to make a living after her divorce?

Sure.

- Yes, you're a good writer. - Thanks...

I didn't expect you to agree. I'm speechless.

Eat.

Is something upsetting you?

I thought Geum just needed to take medication...

...but I found out she's barren because of it.

I didn't know.

I see...

Yeah.

Father. Why did you give your consent to Ki all of a sudden?

I thought you'd never let him. Why did you?

He said he didn't wanna live like me. What can I do?

What do you...

He doesn't want to live a life like mine.

A life with no challenge, no ambition and no recognition. How can I stop him?

So I let him.

It's me. You haven't gotten your phone back yet?

Not yet.

How are you feeling?

Don't be careless just because you're a bit better.

Go sleep at home today, ok?

There's good news.

Father softened a lot. I think he'll give in soon.

Yeah? That's great. Then only mother left.

Okay. Don't worry and sleep well I'll call you later.

Why are you wearing it again? Are you going out again?

I just came to change.

Why bother? Just pack and leave!

You want me to? Sure.

I met Geum's mother today.

What did you wanna tell her this time?

I didn't ask. She did. Do you know how humiliated I was?

She kept asking me...

...to keep you from her house and from meeting her daughter again.

Isn't it expected?

Wouldn't you react the same...

if I was treated like that and her mother acted so rudely?

You're so forgiving to others. Why can't you understand me?

Didn't I beg you?

Didn't I ask you to yield just this once, even if it's an impossible match?

What should I do to make you give up?

I'll let you do anything if you give her up.

If you wanna meet Min-Sun again, I won't object.

Date Min-Sun.

Mom. Are you really crazy?

Honey.

Let's let Geum marry him.

She loves him so much. He doesn't mind her illness.

Why all of a sudden? You said she needs someone trustworthy...

He is.

I didn't tell you because I hated him, but he's very honest.

Honey.

I asked him when he called off the wedding.

Why he picked Geum out of all people.

Do you know what he said?

The first woman he met on a date was Geum.

I was mad then.

He could've side-stepped the question but he didn't.

It seemed he'd rather just tell the truth.

Of course he would after what he did.

Honey. She said she loves him. She does.

No.

Honey.

I said no!

I will give my consent.

Honey.

My sick daughter loves him so much. And he doesn't mind her illness.

What more can you expect?

So give her cell back. You're being unfair.

They're adults. You shouldn't take her cell.

If you're like this, how are you different from his mother?

Give it.

Come on.

What's wrong with you? What can I do if even you don't understand me?

It's her.

Kyung-Woo's mother was the woman...

What do you mean?

She's your friend who betrayed you?

It must hurt a lot. It really hurts when you lose your toenail.

But I'm proud that you'd practice to that extent.

I should've taken you home.

No. You lost your toenail.

Go in. Bye.

Wait.

Do you want me to take you home?

No. Your feet hurt. You gotta take care of it.

Then kiss it to make it better.

Tae-Young! What are you...

You... are you two dating?

Sis, it's...

Yes. Sis.

Sis!

- Are you insane? - Sis, what's wrong? Don't hit him.

Sis! He lost his toe nail. He's in pain.

Ki!

Father.

Father. He wants to come here to see you tomorrow. Is it ok?

No.

Father.

I thought hard about it but I can't consent. Stop seeing him.

Father.

Stop it.

- Father. - I know it will be hard.

But yield this time. We've yielded many times before, so just this once.

Just do it for us.

Father.

I know how much you love him, and he's a nice guy.

Still, marriage doesn't involve only you two.

We don't want you to marry him and live with such a woman. Really.

So much so that we can't let you, even knowing how much you want it.

That's how much we hate it. So give up. Break up with him.
