Original subtitles

What was it called?

Misdemeanor? Public indecency?

Oh, it isn't public indecency. Since you didn't show it to me.

I'm sorry.

I won't report you, so don't worry.

But...

Let's say it was a coincidence last time.

Why did you come back this time?

That isn't a stage outfit for some play, is it?

Was it your wedding?

Yes.

That's why I won't report you. When can I hear this kind of story?

- Sorry? - Tell me. Why did you do it?

What made you lose it?

For you to run away from your wedding...

on a motorcycle, wearing your wedding dress?

Why do you want to know that?

How could I not be curious? It's so funny.

What's funnier is, you managed to escape,

but ended up here.

Did you have nowhere to go?

- It's not that... - Then?

What is it? Come on.

Why are you being so hesitant?

Just tell me everything honestly.

What else do you have to lose on a crazy day like this?

Don't you want to spill the truth?

You probably have no one to talk to.

Isn't that why you somehow ended up here?

Is this in some way related to that time...

when you closely observed me having sex?

What?

You know, it's usually not a pleasant sight...

to watch others have sex.

Especially for women.

You know, when love scenes in movies...

are too realistic, it's rather hard to watch.

Do you find that erotic?

Doesn't it seem dirty sometimes?

But you watched me for a long time.

Did my sex turn you on?

Or was your sex disappointing?

Or...both?

This is great. I have plenty of time today.

I'm totally free.

Oh. I'll lend you my clothes, so get changed.

Make yourself at home.

Why isn't she calling?

I think I should call the police.

Jung Seok.

I dropped by her place on my way here,

and Ha Ram's...

motorcycle was gone.

I think she took that and left.

A motorcycle?

She rides a motorcycle?

She goes for rides from time to time.

I can't believe...

any of this is happening right now.

I'm sorry.

When I was alone in the bride waiting room,

I felt like it was my last chance.

What kind of man is he?

He's a good guy. He's kind and sincere.

But I don't know if this is love.

Why? Why do you think so?

It has never been passionate between us.

If your love life is always full of passion,

you'll both burn to death.

But still, I wish I could feel that warmth at least once.

Okay. Well, then...

There must've been a reason you suddenly realized that.

If your relationship was always like that,

you wouldn't have cared in the first place.

Nothing changed in particular.

Shall I say it suddenly hit me?

It felt as if he wasn't marrying me out of love.

He just wanted to get married because we dated for long...

and the time had come, and I felt the same.

Everyone else around me seemed to be in love...

except for me.

Still, there must've been a reason you decided to get married.

What was it?

It just happened naturally.

Well... Nothing happens just naturally.

There's a reason for all our choices.

The difference is whether you know it or not.

Rather than a particular reason for us to get married,

there was no reason for us to break up.

Gosh, you know what? I'm sorry to say this,

but people like you shouldn't get married.

You chose marriage as a second option...

because there was no reason to break up?

But marriage isn't that simple.

It means you two become family.

The only family that you can choose yourself.

Let me tell you this.

Marriage isn't necessary for everyone.

It's so obvious, but people don't seem to know that.

I'm glad you ran away.

Do you feel relieved now?

I can't say I feel relieved,

but I can't totally deny it either.

Well, that's good enough.

Things have never been this hectic since what happened.

I don't know how each day passed.

Aren't you angry at me?

What do you mean?

Why would I be angry at you?

You must be the one who's under the most pain.

I always...

hoped for you to live a little more selfishly.

If you made that decision for your own life,

I'm glad you did.

But I feel so sorry for Jung Seok.

He really cares for you and seemed genuinely concerned.

Does everyone seem happy to you since you're happy?

Are you mad at me?

Why would I be mad at you? There's no reason.

I know it's a bit early, but how about a drink?

Where did you go after you ran out?

And what are those clothes?

I've never seen them. Whose clothes are they?

When is your flight?

I delayed it. Now's not the time to leave.

It's okay. Don't mind me and just go.

What are you planning to do now?

What do you mean?

With Jung Seok. Did you talk to him?

When did you change your flight to?

I love...

everything about George, but there's one catch.

He doesn't like to drink.

I'm worried I won't have any drinking buddies.

What do I do if I suddenly miss you?

What if I suddenly get sick?

What if you get sick?

I have nightmares often. What do I do then?

Ha Ram.

It's too far.

It's too far away.

All this time, all I had to do was open a door...

and you were there for me day and night, but not anymore.

Even if I miss you in the middle of the night, you'll be gone.

Do you know why I still have nightmares?

Do you remember when I was 10?

The year I turned 10 years old?

You leaned on my back and cried every night.

You said you couldn't live without me.

That you were enduring it for me.

You said I was the reason you couldn't die.

Do you know...

how I felt when I heard that at such a young age?

"I don't think my mom wants to live."

"What do I do if she dies?"

Your tears wet my back...

and it felt so cold.

I still remember that feeling.

But... Back then...

I was too young.

You said all you needed was me.

That's why I lived so hard all this time.

You made me live for you all my life.

But now are you saying you don't need me? Then...

What do I have to live for now?

What are you talking about?

Why would you live for me?

When did I ask you to live like that?

Why do you always...

separate your life from mine?

What's wrong with being attached to each other?

That's how it was until now. That's how we lived!

You asked me if I don't want you to leave.

You're right. I don't want you to leave.

That's why I ruined my wedding.

So this is all your fault.

Wait.

What is it?

Let's go in together from the beginning.

This will be our new home now.

Since this is our first time,

I want to enjoy it slowly.

So we can remember this moment...

for a very long time.

Is it...

because I can't get it up?

It's not...

We had no problems at all before that.

Before I failed to get it up.

Is it because I kept failing to get...

You did nothing wrong.

It's my fault.

And it's not like you kept failing.

I was the one who yawned, and that's why...

No, that's not the problem.

Then what is it?

Why on earth did you have to do this to me?

If there was a problem,

you should've told me.

I don't know what I did wrong but...

Jung Seok.

Please calm down.

How can I calm down in this situation?

It's fine.

Just tell me everything.

I don't care what you say.

Just tell me everything honestly.

Come inside.

When we made love all this time,

did you ever feel an orgasm?

I'm not blaming you for not getting an erection,

but I can't say the sex has nothing to do with it.

When we make love, it's too plain.

It's like a routine without any surprises.

I don't think...

I have ever experienced orgasms when we made love together.

It's my fault.

It's not just your fault.

To be honest with you, I don't think I was certain about us.

Do you not like me?

I like you. But...

I don't think I can say...

that I love you.

Love isn't that grand.

If you want to be together, don't want to be apart,

and want to marry that person, isn't that enough to call it love?

That's good enough.

That's enough to call it love.

That's how everyone...

That's how everyone lives. Isn't that what average people do?

Is it because of your mother?

What about my mom?

Because your mother's love life is different from ours.

Did you see your mother?

Can I stay here for the time being?

Suit yourself.

When...

was the first time you felt that way?

It's okay. Just tell me.

When was the first time you felt hesitant?

When you proposed to me.

I'm not saying that your proposal was bad or anything.

You proposed to me after we talked about marriage for a while.

Ha Ram.

- Will you marry me? - The moment you said it,

the first thought that crossed my mind was,

"Oh, no. What should I do?"

We're a decent couple at a marriage appropriate age...

with a decent budget.

Our marriage was just decent without any conflicts.

I wasn't sure if that would be enough.

Then, what else do you need?

I know that it's hard to understand. Even I don't understand myself.

Then, you should have discussed it.

Why did you let it get this bad and keep it to yourself?

When I'm with you, I feel comfortable.

And we don't fight.

But is being with me fun for you?

Are you happy?

Yes. I am happy with you.

That's why I wanted to marry you.

I guess you didn't feel it that way.

I'm sorry.

I should be saying sorry.

I had no idea.

Perhaps, my standards might be too high.

I can understand that you might want different things.

But unless you hated me,

you should have talked to me, so we could handle this.

Let me ask you one more thing.

Will you be okay even if you never...

get to see my again?

Even if we become strangers forever?

No, not even strangers.

We'd be less than strangers to each other.

Strangers can run into each other on the streets.

But even that won't be allowed for us.

That's the path...

we are on now.

- She's not picking up. Gosh. - Gosh. Call her again.

What?

He's home. He's here.

- Hey. - Come in.

We can't reach Ha Ram. She's not answering her phone.

Where have you been? Were you guys together?

Did you see her? What did she say?

Why did she do it? Where is she right now?

Tell her that you want to talk to her.

We should listen to her and find out what happened.

Yes. You should talk to her.

Goodness. Why won't you say anything?

How could I talk when you won't give me a chance to talk?

What on earth is her problem?

She doesn't like you anymore? Did you mess up something?

Hey, you should just ask her to forgive you.

You should just kneel and beg her for forgiveness.

Why would he do that after everything she did?

She could have just called off the wedding the day before.

Running away at her own wedding...

cannot be tolerated whatever mistake Jung Seok made.

Right. You do have a point.

- Hey. - Hey.

You can't just go into your room.

We're about to get frustrated to death.

It's okay. I'm on your side.

I can understand whatever you did.

- My goodness. - Gosh.

What did you do?

I didn't do anything.

No.

I couldn't do anything.

Gosh. You don't make sense at all!

Forget it. Let's just go to Ha Ram. Let's talk to her in person.

Mom, what will you say to her?

Are you seriously asking me that?

We should find out what happened and get an apology from her.

What apology?

She didn't do anything wrong.

My goodness. What? What's up with you?

- He's... - Hey.

What? You...

I want to live here too.

What?

I'll stay here with you.

This was our marital house. So I have a right to stay here too.

Why are you doing this?

Make your decision after you live with me for a week.

I found out what the problem is now.

You weren't sure about us? I was more than sure about us.

You said our sex was too plain, not adventurous,

and lack of surprises.

It wasn't because I don't know how to have fun.

I have my own desires too.

But I was trying to be polite, considerate, and well-mannered.

That's why I held myself back.

You held back?

Ha Ram.

Whenever you smile, the left corner of your mouth goes up.

Whenever I see your lips,

I want to kiss you.

When you had a big chunk of wasabi, so you clenched your mouth...

and breathed through your nose because it was spicy.

And whenever you put your hair up in a ponytail...

and I see your hair on the back of your neck...

and whenever I see bruises all over your arms and legs...

after pretending to have everything under control,

I find you incredibly cute.

I want to hug you and kiss you all of a sudden.

When we go to restaurants, you always look for sanitizers...

and wet wipes first.

So...

I always asked you if you wanted to wash up first.

And I stuck to the same routine...

because you seemed most satisfied with that routine.

I had my eyes on you the whole time.

Have you ever looked at me the same way I did?

Look me in the eye.

You were going to marry me at one point.

So you are also responsible for this.

Take responsibility for me.

Park Jung Seok.

How good of a cook are you?

I might not be that impressive, but I like cooking.

Well, like among other things,

I wanted to cook breakfast for you.

Ta-da.

My gosh.

You've been hiding your master culinary skills all this time?

I should have busted out my charms sooner.

- That looks good. - Wait.

What?

Here's my heart.

Thank you for the food.

Try it.

- Is it bad? - No.

How should I put it? This is very unique.

- This is good. - I found your weakness.

You are too generous to yourself.

I see. So this was the dream you had.

Well, I at least did it once. So I guess it came true, after all.

Besides, the food doesn't taste that good.

No. Why did you say that? This is pretty good.

Gosh, this is good.

What? We just woke up.

Let's skip this awful meal.

We should eat something tasty instead.

Do you seriously mean that?

Well, I didn't mean it like that.

I liked your effort.

She's watching.

After this weekend,

my students will tease me when I go back to school.

I guess.

Time flew by.

We've never taken days off like this.

I guess at some point, you should go back home at least once.

You need to prepare for your lesson.

Right.

You never called your mother, right?

Will you be okay?

I should tell her that I am sorry.

Do you not want to go back to school?

No. It's not that.

WHAT ABOUT THE BRIDE?

SHE RAN AWAY!

It's my students.

They are already having so much fun.

I'm the laughingstock of the entire school.

Good for you.

What?

You love your job, don't you?

You like your students and love going to school, right?

And you don't?

Not me.

I'm scared of the kids.

Perhaps,

the wedding wasn't the only thing...

I wanted to run away from.

Have you ever thought about quitting your job?

How can I?

Why won't it close?

I didn't put any new stuff inside. Why won't it close?

Gosh.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

How did you know I was out here?

I followed you here when I saw you leave.

If you want to quit your job,

you can just quit, can't you?

I'm 29 years old now.

The only part-time job I had was as a private tutor.

If I quit my job now, what would I do with my life?

Don't give me a careless advice because it's not your life.

It wasn't a careless advice.

I knew that it wasn't a reckless thought.

If you were serious about quitting your job,

you ought to give it a try. That's all.

And as you can see,

I love my job.

I neither want to quit nor plan to quit my job.

But...

if...

I was doing something else than teaching kids,

I would have had the same thought.

But you can't live your life only doing things you want to do.

But didn't you crack because you only did things...

you didn't want to do?

For Mother...

I mean, you were going to give a part of your savings...

and the wedding fund to your mother.

With that,

I think you can start something new.

My savings.

I'm just running ideas in my head.

You know the wine bar you mentioned? Maybe, you wanted to run it.

Not your mother.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you, Ha Ram.

Gosh. This is nice.

I wish I could run a wine bar like this when I get old.

I could get a place just as big as this one.

I can serve drinks I like and keep a short menu for food.

Maybe, we really should.

You know, it could be a place where people who don't know about wine...

can come casually and enjoy their time.

We could set up a variety of glasses and wine.

And the food menu might be short,

but we can put together a special dish every month.

Or should we change it every season and have special menus?

As for music,

we should play Chet Baker's songs.

That sounds nice.

Cheers.

Will you do it?

Obviously, I can't make a decision right now.

But the fact that there was something I wanted to try...

That itself is very comforting.

Why are you smiling?

I like watching you smile.

MOM

Why is she calling me?

- Hello? - Gosh. You finally answered.

Hey!

You only left us a letter and disappeared.

Where have you been? I've been calling you.

- Well... - Forget it.

Give me the passcode for your martial house.

My gosh. Goodness.

What? He hung up on me.

Do you not know the passcode either, Ms. Noh?

No. I don't know anything about the passcode.

My gosh. "Ms. Noh"? After all that's happened?

I think I just heard a sound.

1, 5, 3, 6.

What's the code?

1, 5, 3, 0.

Goodness. Do you really not know what the passcode is?

No. You said you knew the number.

I forgot. Gosh, forget I asked.

1, 5, 3, 2.

My goodness!

Ha Ram, don't come out.

Ha Ram, you should get out first. I'll take care of your stuff.

My goodness. We are finally inside.

Gosh. Where on earth is he? What is he up to?

How could he just hang up the phone like that?

Well, the house seems pretty clean.

See? Look at that. Their stuff is all over the place here.

Well, I can't deny that there were some happy moments.

But some issues must be addressed.

So we can accept our situations and move on, right?

First, once we sell this house,

our biggest problem will be resolved.

I see.

Gosh, Jung Seok is so naive.

He always leaves loose ends.

Ha Ram is smart and sharp.

So I thought it was a nice match.

But it seems your daughter is quite audacious.

I can't say that she handled this correctly,

But...

breaking off the engagement is better than getting a divorce.

If she was going to get a divorce, why get married in the first place?

I didn't mean it that way.

No one knows what will happen in the future.

Whether it was a divorce or breaking off the engagement,

she didn't have to make a huge scene out of it.

My daughter is kind to a fault,

compliant, and tends to bottle up her feelings.

So she had to hold herself back a lot.

That's why she might not have been aware of her feelings.

There are some things you can't see unless you deviate from...

the path you are on.

Listen. Even so...

It already happened.

Since it's already been done,

shouldn't we embrace and comfort them...

as their parents?

When she heard that you were dating a younger guy...

and going to leave Korea out of the blue,

don't you think that influenced Ha Ram's behaviors?

I'm very jealous of her about that.

Keep your mouth shut about it.

Gosh.

- What? What was that sound? - What is it?

- My goodness. Gosh. - What? Is someone inside?

- What? - Hey!

- Gosh. - What are you doing?

What are you two doing?

We made up.

We are going to get married again.

What? You made up?

How does that make sense?

Why doesn't it make sense?

It all happened because of a misunderstanding.

As you can see, we made up, so we'll be with each other again.

If it was going to take only few days to reconcile,

why would she cause a scene like that?

How does that make sense to you?

Why does that matter if it makes sense or not?

What matters is how I feel.

I mean, how we feel.

Ha Ram, I want you to tell us.

Elaborate on what Jung Seok just told us.

Is he telling the truth?

It's okay. Tell us how you feel.

I'm sorry.

- What? Wait. - Ha Ram.

Hey, Jung Seok! Hey!

- Mom. - Yes?

What about George?

He left without me for now.

I'm sorry.

When you left home, you seemed like you didn't want to see me again.

It's only been a few days.

Eat up.

You've always been such a good girl.

Have you decided to do 29 years' worth of bad things at once?

Running away from your wedding, running away from home...

I know.

Sorry.

I didn't know you still have nightmares...

because of what happened then.

While you turned out great,

I've been a terrible mom.

That's not true.

Didn't you just say I've done 29 years' worth of bad things?

Still...

Please forget...

what I told you the other day.

To be honest,

to be really honest with you,

I did think at first that you were responsible.

I wasn't sure if I should get married,

but you suddenly announced you were moving abroad for this guy you met.

It must have affected you.

But after a while, I realized that...

I was the one pressuring you.

I was using you as an excuse.

That's no big deal.

Everyone needs some protection sometimes.

It hurts when you're directly exposed,

and you're afraid of getting hurt. That's natural.

Blame me for it.

I can do that much for you.

See? What would I do without you?

I thought you were all grown up, but you're still a kid.

You're right. I'm blaming you for everything.

Mom.

Would it be okay if I quit teaching?

Not right away, but maybe later.

Sure.

What?

Do that if you want.

Are you sure?

Of course.

Why not?

Is there something you want to do?

Do you remember the wine bar that we talked about?

It's actually something I would love to do.

I knew it. You sounded so excited.

Your eyes were shining.

Do what you want to do. You don't have to ask me permission.

I only became a teacher because you once wanted...

to become one.

What are you talking about?

It's true that I wanted to,

but I never asked you to become one.

That was ages ago anyway.

Also, becoming a teacher wasn't my only dream.

But I can't quit right away.

It's not a good idea to start a business rashly and fail.

It's important to be cautious, but don't hesitate too much.

There are things that you can only learn through experience.

It's okay to fail.

I have a lot of money.

You can rely on me.

Your money is...

for you and George.

Starting a new life abroad must cost a lot.

Is it okay...

if I go?

You should hurry up.

What if you leave George alone for too long...

and he changes his mind or find a new woman?

You don't understand.

He can't live without me.

I wish I was like you.

Don't worry.

You're very much like me.

Eat this too.

"Seashells are a lovely gift."

"A lonely seashell..."

"longs for..."

"its lost partner."

EUNKYO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

- Do you want to play soccer? - Sounds good.

Okay, let's do that.

- What's wrong? - Come here.

"When her battery runs low, she breaks down."

- Go! - Go!

- Go! - Go!

- Go! - Go!

- Go... - Go...

What's wrong with Ms. Lee?

She froze.

What's going on?

I'm sorry.

I know that kids can spread all kinds of silly rumors, but...

Are you sure you're in good health?

Can you continue teaching?

The problem is,

it seems like word has even reached parents.

- Please calm down. - Let go.

Oh, hello.

Play outside. Don't stray too far.

- Okay. - Go now.

BOOKS CAN SHOW YOU A BEAUTIFUL AND MYSTERIOUS WORLD.

I heard that you taught my kid...

a very inappropriate word.

It's not like that.

He asked me what the word meant,

so I just told him the dictionary definition of it.

Was it really necessary to tell him in such detail?

He probably heard the word somewhere by chance...

and was just curious.

He's still just a kid.

If he really had no idea what it meant, he wouldn't have asked me.

Knowing what it meant, he just wanted to see how I'd react...

because it's funny.

Hold on.

Are you saying my kid is impudent?

That's not it.

Kids these days grow up fast.

And it's no surprise that they take an interest...

in sexual and stimulating things.

Still, he doesn't understand anything.

You could have just made something up.

You might think...

kids don't understand anything, but they do.

If you don't give them an honest answer,

it could make them pursue their curiosity in a distorted way.

That said,

I'm not saying what I did was right.

I should have been more careful.

I'm sorry.

All right. Since you said that kids understand everything,

I heard that you ran away from your wedding.

Kids know everything.

They also say that you often break down or something these days.

Does that have something to do with that?

First of all, it's true that my wedding got called off.

I apologize that...

my irrational behavior affected the kids.

It's never going to happen again.

It's never going to happen again? Is everything all right now?

No.

Then again, you couldn't recover so fast after running away...

from your own wedding.

Why did you do that?

Did you hate to get married so much?

Since that day,

so many people have asked me that very question.

Every time,

I came up with various answers that I hadn't even realized there was.

But after a while, this came to mind.

Timing.

Thinking that I'd turn 30 next year,

I became anxious and restless.

I probably wanted to run away from something,

whatever that might be.

And it ended up being my wedding.

I understand you completely.

I'm 39.

I have this desperate urge...

to run away from something.

I have nowhere to go,

but I still want to go away.

Why are you crying?

Oh, my. Ms. Lee.

The number you dialed does not exist.

Please check again.

- I knew it. She's a robot. - She's AI.

- She broke down again. - I know.

Guys.

There's someone I must see right now.

Your husband who ran away?

I'm the one who ran away.

But I don't think I should anymore.

I'll lose him.

And I really...

don't want to lose him.

Is it okay if I go to him?

Go, Ms. Lee.

Go, Ms. Lee.

- Go to him! - Go to him!

JUNSU MIDDLE SCHOOL

Park Jung Seok!

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

I'm really sorry.

So please...

What are you doing?

Jung Seok.

At some point,

I started...

taking you for granted.

I felt comfortable around you and we never fought.

But that doesn't happen with just anyone.

Not everyone can give me that.

Only you can.

Still, I forgot.

I became so used to having you next to me...

and ended up relying on you too much.

Thinking that...

you were out of my life now...

That you were gone for good...

I feel so empty.

No one could fill this void.

Never.

I always thought it's stupid to realize how much...

someone means to you only after losing them.

And look how stupid I am.

I see that now.

If this isn't love, what is?

I know I am too late...

and have no right to ask you this,

but will you give me a second chance?

Ha Ram.

- Oh, my. - Unbelievable.

- My gosh. - What's happening?

Thank you.

- Oh, my gosh! - I can't believe this!

They're kissing!

My goodness.

Should we...

go somewhere else?

Nice!

- Oh, my. - This is unbelievable.

- Get married! - Get married!

- Get married! - Get married!

Let's go.

- Get married! - Get married!

- My gosh. - This is amazing.

Congratluations!

- I can't believe this. - I know.

Jung Seok!

We don't need a wedding, do we?

This time, I'll run away.

Run away.

I'll find you wherever you are.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

Let's at least go on a honeymoon.

Let's do that!

I love you!

I love you too, Jung Seok!

NUMBER 29 IS OVER!
