(Episode 6)

I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity.

I told you it's my first day today.

Jung In, you must not listen to what I tell you these days.

What? You have a surprise?

It won't be a surprise now that I've given you a heads-up.

I shouldn't have told you anything.

Me? I'm at the office.

(Habitat for Humanity)

I need to go now. I'll talk to you later.

We had to meet one day.

So I'm glad to see you here.

You seem embarrassed to see me.

But that's natural considering what you did.

What you did was even more shocking.

I asked the guy at the agency,

and he told me everything.

He told me he got caught by you...

and that you made him leave the video in front of your house.

I had to pay him quite a lot to get him to talk.

You were one step ahead of me.

I never planned on sending that video to your family.

I just wanted Jung In to know...

that you were also seeing someone else.

If I tell him what you did, I think he might...

lose interest in you.

You were probably going to send it anonymously.

But now that I've found out, things won't go as planned.

A guy who doesn't mind marrying someone he doesn't love...

isn't normal.

I'm telling you this with sincerity.

Ms. Lee.

You don't have the right to give me any advice.

You were also willing to marry him for convenience.

That's why you went on that blind date.

If I must give you an excuse,

I thought of it as an appointment that was made between our families.

It was before I started dating Se Hoon.

And that day, I made myself clear and told him...

that we shouldn't get married.

You make it sound like...

Jung In is the only one who wants to get married for convenience.

This is between you and him, so leave me out of it.

Don't get me involved.

I personally think we could work together.

After all, we both have the same goal.

"Goal"? What goal?

Even if you refuse to get married,

your family will push ahead with it.

And I need Jung In.

You need him?

That sounds awfully strange.

I guess we don't speak the same language.

I don't care to speak the same language as you.

It won't do you any good...

to become enemies with me.

Does Se Hoon know...

that your family is getting ready to marry you off for convenience?

Ms. Han, you really are the worst.

When you're pushed to a corner,

you're forced to show how ugly you can get.

You're the one who caused this to happen.

"Go ahead and get married for convenience."

"I'll live within your shadow."

I heard you said that to him.

That's because I knew...

he'd leave me...

if I didn't say that.

When you don't have any power in the relationship,

you force yourself to say things...

that will please your significant other.

(Furniture Studio Echo)

I read this in a book.

Apparently, if you become scared of love,

it ends up making a fool of you.

So I decided not to be scared.

I hope you also choose not to be scared of love.

Se Hoon, it's your turn to lose to me.

Honey, what were you thinking?

We can't let anyone find out that Ji Eun is dating someone else.

I can't believe you talked about it out loud in the lobby.

I bet there are a lot of people who can't keep their mouths shut.

She'll become the talk of the town.

Are you kidding me right now?

Why would you let her provoke you? She isn't even thinking straight.

Ji Eun was out of her mind, and that made me lose it.

Can't you control your emotions?

You really need to grow up.

Okay, that's enough. I'm sorry.

You and Ji Eun are both an embarrassment.

I've had enough of this.

Sang Bum.

I know I have no right to raise my voice at you,

but I'm her brother for goodness' sake.

Don't you think you're being too hard on her?

I can't stand how you talk to her.

I'm the one who can't stand it.

Do you think it's easy...

living with a woman who knows so little about the world?

I spent my entire youth trying to please your late father...

and taking care of all the mess...

that was caused by your family.

I had to stand people...

whispering behind my back that I benefit from my in-laws.

Why are you suddenly mentioning that?

What you see isn't always what you get.

If we keep arguing, things will only get ugly.

So let's stop here.

My gosh.

(Furniture Studio Echo)

So you sent that video...

to your family?

I just used Ms. Han's plan to my advantage.

It's actually for the better.

Now my family knows...

that I can't give up on you.

How does that change anything?

Do you really think your parents will approve of us...

if you just keep refusing to get married?

I understand that you feel deceived.

But I was never interested in getting married for convenience.

So I didn't think it was necessary to tell you.

And I only found out yesterday...

that Ms. Han was Seo Jung In's girlfriend.

I don't care if she is dating the guy...

you're about to marry.

Stop being so cold to me,

and please hear me out.

I'm not here to talk about other people.

- I came to talk about us. - I have nothing to say to you.

It's over...

between us.

You say you want to break up,

but I know you don't really mean it. You're just trying to be resolute.

That's right. I've made up my mind.

I've already decided to break up with you.

Don't say or do things you don't mean.

I'm sorry my mom hurt you and made you close your heart.

I'm okay now, so just leave.

No, you're not okay.

Stop trying to hide how you really feel.

Why can't you just leave me alone?

Can't you give me another chance?

Can't we go through this together?

Think about the situation we're in. It's obvious how this will end.

Why do you keep thinking so negatively?

Because it's the truth.

If we continue to see each other,

your mother will mistreat me thinking I have an ulterior motive.

Then you'll feel bad about it.

And what do you think will happen if that constantly continues?

We'll both end up getting exhausted.

So please.

Let's just end it here.

But we love each other.

How can we break up when we both want to be together?

Give me some time.

I'll convince my parents.

If you keep being stubborn,

they'll only become more suspicious of me.

I don't want to be treated like that just so I can be with you.

How...

How can you give up on me so easily?

I guess I just don't...

love you that much.

So it's time...

that you stop hurting your pride.

"Pride"?

I put my pride aside...

the moment I fell in love with you. Didn't you know that?

Must you make me feel so miserable?

Stop hurting me like this.

(Furniture Studio Echo)

Ji Eun.

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

Get out of the car. I'll do it.

Go away! Just leave!

Go! Just go!

Go away! Leave!

How could you...

break up with me so easily like that?

Did you even love me at all?

Did you?

Will you take care of her for me?

Why are you being so foolish?

You can't just come here and make a fuss about it.

Think about what your mother did to him.

Did you seriously expect him to understand everything...

and forgive you just like that?

No guy would be able to do that...

even if he's head over heels and crazy in love.

I got impatient and came here as fast as I could...

after I heard that my mom went to see him.

Your mother was unbelievable.

I'm not taking his side just because I'm his friend.

Se Hoon only endured it all because he's a man of good character.

What should I do?

What can I do to make him open up?

I know you want him to forgive you.

But first,

don't you think you should deal with your family first?

Crying about it won't solve anything.

So first, I'll find a way to convince them.

(Hyunyoung Bank)

You really are meticulous.

Like you told me last time, I can't live without money.

They'll try to block my source of money.

- So I should be prepared. - If your parents find out,

they'll be really disappointed even if you're their daughter.

Don't you think you're being a bit too drastic?

My parents won't listen to me even if I beg.

If I have no chance of winning,

I should at least find a way to survive.

I feel like you're only making things worse.

Just make sure you're always on my side.

Ms. Lee Ji Eun.

You want to sell all your shares of Bisang Apparel?

Please sell them at a reasonable price.

And can you please create a bank account under her name...

and wire the money in my bank account to hers?

I thought I'd benefit from having a rich friend.

But I might even have to provide for you now.

If you do, I'd be more than grateful.

You moved your money to a different bank account.

What are you going to do about work?

First, I'll take a few days off.

But in the end, I'll have to quit.

Bok Ja, I thought about it.

And I came to a conclusion...

that I need to give up on everything if I want to be with Se Hoon.

I'm sure he'll change his mind...

once I give up on everything I have.

I truly respect you for being so reckless.

You're amazing.

(Seorin)

(Director Seo Jung In)

Even if you refuse to get married,

your family will push ahead with it.

And I need Jung In.

You need him?

That sounds awfully strange.

Sir.

Here is Ms. Lee Ji Eun's number.

- Save it. - Okay, sir.

(Na Kyung)

Sir.

You're getting a call from Ms. Han.

Pick up and tell her I'm in a meeting.

Okay, sir.

Hello, I'm answering on behalf of Director Seo.

Did something happen at work?

He didn't pick up earlier either.

Did he get scolded by the chairman?

Secretary Kim, please tell him to give me a call.

Okay, bye.

Good work.

No wonder they say women are always so hard to read.

I feel so betrayed.

It means she hung out with us on purpose...

because Ji Eun was about to marry her boyfriend.

I don't care.

I figured it'd be best to talk after we were done.

That's why I haven't said anything until now.

I don't want to hear it.

Sometimes, there are things that are better left unsaid.

Don't try to justify what you did.

You knew about our relationship,

but you didn't say anything. Let's say I get that.

But you can't give me any excuses for putting a tail on Ji Eun...

and asking that person to take a video of us.

What you did...

was unbelievable, Na Kyung.

I feel bad about lying to you as well, Ho Jin.

I was too twisted, and I ended up making a big mistake.

We should keep our distance from now on.

My gosh.

I can't believe I'm hungry.

Let's eat.

Let's eat and cheer up.

Are you angry at me?

So many thoughts run through my head...

every time I can't reach you.

Please call me.

I also have a favor to ask you.

(Turn off the device.)

(Your device will turn off.)

We have fresh seafood for dinner tonight.

I had sushi for lunch, so I'm not interested.

I'm here to work out, so I'll just have a salad.

Okay, sir.

I thought you'd be glad to see me.

Or at least pretend like...

you're surprised to see me by coincidence.

Do I have to show you a certain reaction?

We're both members of this hotel.

So it's not a surprise to run into each other here.

Can I eat that? It looks like you don't have an appetite.

Sit down for a second.

I was actually...

going to call you tomorrow and ask you to meet.

I personally think it's wise to make a quick and simple choice...

when things get complicated.

On top of that, people like us were born rich,

so it's natural for us to give up on a few things.

For example,

things like love.

As you already know,

people who are rich never end up having a fairy-tale love story.

Even if people get married...

without their family's approval,

they all end up getting a divorce.

Why do you think that is?

Do I need to keep listening to this?

It will also be helpful to you, so just hear me out.

Getting married can't be a goal because it's a new beginning.

Even if you're madly in love, you'll always have problems.

And because both families won't be intertwined with each other,

it'll be inevitable...

for the couple to face a critical situation...

in the long run.

What's your point?

I'm starting to get impatient.

I'm saying...

you and I should both...

end things with Jang Se Hoon...

and Han Na Kyung.

We should do it for their sake.

Did you do a background check on me?

This afternoon,

I went to Habitat for Humanity.

Na Kyung told me it was her first day there,

so I bought a few pizzas and went there to surprise her.

That's when I overheard...

the conversation you had with Na Kyung.

What's the name of the Chinese company?

Na Kyung is my weakness,

and you're someone I need to marry.

Now that I know about the deal that was made between you two,

I guess it's my turn to wrap things up.

You must've been really hurt.

I don't know...

how much you heard.

But you might not have heard it all.

I heard that when you have no power in the relationship,

you're forced to say what your significant other wants to hear...

in order to protect that person.

That's what Na Kyung told me.

So don't doubt her love for you.

To be frank,

I'm the one who caused this mess.

You see,

as I started to fall in love with Se Hoon,

I learned something.

When you're in love, it always comes with a sacrifice.

And you shouldn't call it love...

if you're not ready to go through with that.

You're pretty amazing.

Why don't we go on 10 dates?

I meant that I'm not interested in anyone else other than Se Hoon.

I mean as friends.

I want to take my time and see...

if it'll be okay to be friends with you.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

Please leave a message after the beep.

I love the smell of wood.

What's that?

It's Bija wood.

I'm drying it to make a Go board.

Do you want to know something interesting?

When you make a Go board,

you cut the wood and soak it in seawater.

And that could lead to two different results.

The wood will either crack or stay firm.

If it cracks, does it become useless?

But you see, it could go back to its normal state if you dry it.

Some cracks never disappear,

but some just stick back together.

That becomes a key factor in rating the Go board.

The boards that don't crack from the beginning...

get marked as first-class due to their quality.

The ones with cracks become cheap Go boards.

Then what about the ones that crack but stick back together again?

Does that make them top class?

That's right.

It means they're that resilient.

A resilient Go board easily returns to its normal state...

regardless of how much it cracks.

That's why it's top class.

It goes back to its normal state regardless of how much it cracks?

That's very deep.

Let's promise something.

We promised to do our best to overcome...

all the hardships that come our way...

just like a resilient Go board.

Se Hoon.

Se Hoon, come out here.

Stop running away from me.

Come out here right now.

I missed you.

I couldn't stand being apart.

Se Hoon.

You might be able to live without me.

But I can't.

I can't live a single moment without you.

I hate you so much.

I really do.

But I couldn't stand seeing you turn your back on me.

I'll abandon everything.

I'll leave my parents and run away from home.

I've decided to abandon everything.

Don't just blurt out what's on your mind.

That's absurd.

How is it absurd?

I told you I'm willing to abandon everything.

You had everything handed over to you,

so it might be easy to abandon it all.

But I can't do that.

I was born with nothing, and I worked hard for everything.

It's not only because we live in different environments.

As we got deeper into our relationship,

I could easily see how it was going to end.

We live very different lives.

Money doesn't hold much value in my life.

I want to live a normal life as I continue to run my workshop.

And if things work out, I also want to go to remote areas...

and do volunteer work there.

But your life...

is far from normal.

You're ambitious and competent.

We just have...

different goals in life.

I want to end it while I'm still in love with you.

Let me take you home.

I guess you really mean it.

I guess you really meant it when you asked me to break up.

Get up, Ji Eun.

I came because I was worried about you.

Let's go. Come on.

Leave me alone.

She asked you to leave her alone. Let go of her.

Then you shouldn't have made her cry.

Mr. Jang.

Let me ask you something.

Is it okay...

if I take her from you?

(Phoenix 2020)

I was fooled.

I was fooled by love.

What's this painting doing here?

A phoenix?

A phoenix is a mythological bird that lives in the Arabian Desert.

A passionate and ardent love just like a phoenix.

That love might require one's sacrifice.

Ji Eun.

Ji Eun, there you are.

Se Hoon, you were the one who let go of our love.
