Original subtitles

Did they sleep together?

Since when have we stopped having sex?

I can't do it.

Why couldn't we do it?

Is it because of me?

We'll go with the design we discussed earlier.

It'll cost this much.

I'll text you the details.

Okay.

Ji Sung.

You hired us, so I'll buy you lunch.

Ms. Jang, you should have lunch with Mr. Woo.

Okay, I'll do that.

I heard that Hwa Ran's sick.

I didn't know she'd miscarried.

I'd like to know what happened.

You didn't ask last time.

Well,

our last meeting wasn't the time or place to ask.

I'd like to arrange to see her again,

but I don't want to be rude.

This wasn't the first time. It happened a few times before.

It's more a broken heart than a physical illness.

Her husband's so busy.

He can't indulge her every whim.

So, eventually,

her broken heart makes her physically sick too.

That's what it is.

Isn't she close with her husband?

He doesn't seem to mind not having kids.

Hwa Ran insists on having her husband's child.

It's almost an obsession.

She doesn't seem to care about the toll it takes on her body.

That's why it happens.

What does Hwa Ran mean to my husband?

Was he trying to get something he couldn't get from me?

Is a physical affair...

better than an emotional one?

One or the other.

Which one could I forgive?

Which one is...

worse?

I prefer to do this by hand.

You know well.

It's delicious. Try it.

She hurt herself at work.

It's not bad, fortunately.

That's too bad.

She'll be more careful.

You're such a good cook, Father.

I should learn from you when I have the time.

You're too busy to visit often.

If there's anything you want, I'll cook and send it to you.

Thank you.

Why did Mom's food taste so bad?

It wasn't too sweet, salty, or bitter.

It was oddly terrible.

But Dad,

you never complained about her food while she lived.

That's what your mom was like.

She was a housewife all her life,

but she was a poor housekeeper,

and she wasn't a good cook.

Even though she tried hard.

Is that why you cheated on her?

If her food tasted bad, you should've just said so.

I hated that more than you sleeping naked with that woman.

It's what Mom can't give you. You shouldn't do that.

I'm sorry, Father. I'll call you.

Okay.

What's wrong with this?

Shall we go?

I'm coming.

The prognosis isn't too bad.

What will you do?

I'll just have the surgery to remove the cyst.

I'd like it done by a laparoscope.

That's possible.

May I ask if,

after the surgery,

I can get a consult about trying to get pregnant?

I must say it'll be hard to get pregnant naturally.

If you want,

I can recommend an infertility expert.

Why don't you set a date for your surgery,

and then get an in-depth consultation?

Okay.

What do you think, honey?

Why did you suddenly bring that up?

Without telling me?

It was too sudden at the time,

so I felt awkward.

I thought about it and realized that...

if we're to have kids,

this might be our last chance.

What chance?

We never even considered getting pregnant.

That's why we're thinking about it now.

You want to be a dad.

Well...

If I can't get pregnant naturally,

should we consider IVF?

It's not a decision to make so easily.

Do you really want a baby?

Are you...

happy with me?

What kind of question is that?

Of course, I'm happy. Why, are you not?

No, it's not that.

If we have a kid,

it makes us a family, not a couple.

We're a family right now.

That's not what I mean.

Artificial insemination and IVF...

aren't easy procedures.

There can be side-effects,

and it'll take a toll on your health and it'll exhaust you.

How will you deal with that?

The furniture that...

Ji Sung hired you to buy.

Why don't you try making it?

Me?

You can be the main manufacturer.

I'll help in any way I can.

Are you sure about that?

Why can't we do it? You used to make furniture too.

Shall I, then?

It's been a while.

Who is it this early?

Hello?

Yes.

I'll ask.

I'm sure it'll be okay.

Bye.

Who was it?

Myung Woon, our senior.

Han Myung Woon?

He wants to meet for a meal if we're free this weekend.

Okay, let's do that. Are you up for it?

Hwa Ran's not doing too well.

What?

Never mind.

Hello.

Hi.

Did the chat go well?

She seems to have great ideas about the interior.

She decided to let us make all the furniture by hand.

That's great.

Did Mr. Woo go out?

He left to go to a hospital.

To visit someone who's sick, I think.

Did he not say where?

He told me while he was on the phone.

- Shall I call him? - No. Don't, it's fine.

CALL HISTORY

HONEY

Are the exams done?

I shouldn't waste your precious time.

I'm not that busy. Let's have something to eat.

Okay. Let me get changed first.

Why are you out here?

Where did you go without telling me?

What's wrong? It's cold, let's talk inside.

Where were you?

At a hospital.

What for?

Your father's physical. I told you it's today.

I told you two days ago too, so I thought you knew.

Was that today?

Shouldn't you have told Ms. Jang, though?

Why you're leaving and when you'll come back.

I'll go and visit Dad.

Your father? Right now?

Yes. It's the weekend tomorrow.

Let's go.

No. I'll go on my own.

- It's dangerous to drive at night. - I'll take a taxi.

Why take a taxi alone at night?

- I'll come with you. - I don't want you to.

I'll just drop you off, then.

When will you come back home?

Will you spend the night?

- I'll see. - Your father.

He tried to hide it, but he's worried about his results.

Have a nice chat. He'll be pleased to see you.

Okay.

Hello? Yes.

Then let them...

Who is it?

Just a moment.

It's Ms. Jang. What's wrong?

Nothing.

Go on inside.

Yes, go on.

No, I will...

Yes, make a call.

Thank you.

Do you have soju?

My husband has a woman.

No way.

I saw.

In the middle of the night,

he got up and left without making a sound.

So I followed him.

She called him to the ER at the crack of dawn.

She wasn't sick.

She looked fine.

So why did she call my husband?

I'm sure it's nothing. It's just...

Cheating isn't just sleeping with someone else.

He was so worried for her and felt pity for her.

If that's not love, what is?

In the middle of the night, I didn't even hear his phone ring,

but he left to go to her because she called!

What is that? What is that about?

Let's go to your place.

- Go and... - And say what?

That you know because you've done it?

Did you show that you know?

I didn't say anything.

What'll you do if you don't?

I'll pretend that I don't know anything.

I'll keep it deep inside...

and move on.

That's easier said than done.

Ask him about it and talk about it.

Wouldn't that be better?

How?

What should I say?

It'll be over, then. That means I want to end it!

You can't live like that.

My temper flares up a several times a day.

I can't bear it.

How am I to bear it each time?

Each time,

my heart gets cut.

It gets shaved down like a block of wood.

It hurts so much.

How am I going to live like this?

Hello, sir. Come this way.

That won't work. We must finish by the end of the month.

Okay. I'll come right over.

What's wrong?

There was a miscommunication with the import company. I must go.

I'll come with you. Let's tell Myung Woon...

No, you go ahead. We came all this way.

Tell Myung Woon for me.

I'm sorry. Woon Beom came all the way here,

but left on urgent business.

He couldn't even say hi.

I was hoping to see you alone, Chung Kyung.

This worked out even better.

I'd always wanted to...

speak to you freely one day.

It was good to see you again.

Did something happen recently?

Not really. What could happen?

My wife doesn't exactly make you feel comfortable.

She stresses you out.

She put you through something you didn't have to suffer for.

I suffered?

It's my fault.

Let me apologize instead.

But don't worry too much.

No one crossed the line.

They don't have that kind of relationship.

How long have you known?

Or rather, how much do you know?

Hwa Ran really wanted to have a baby.

We tried everything we could.

IVF didn't work for her.

There were some side-effects.

It was a physical drainer,

but she was mentally drained too.

She'd pass out all the time and go to the hospital often.

It exhausted me too,

and I wasn't always available.

A few times, I got a call much later.

Then...

she stopped calling me altogether.

I guess she called Woon Beom.

The hospital she goes to.

I know a doctor there and he told me.

Hwa Ran knows that but still goes there.

So each time,

she used my husband?

So you'd notice? And get jealous?

So what?

Did you ask to meet to say that?

No. That's not it.

I just wanted to see you, Chung Kyung.

How could you be...

We're both so selfish, right?

I didn't know you were like this.

- I used to... - Like me.

I respected you.

I'm really sorry.

Woon Beom's such a fool.

He has you for a wife, so why...

One reason marriage is boring...

is that when you go from dating...

to a married couple and live as a family,

you get no more opportunities to rationally see...

what a catch you are.

You're still beautiful.

Shall I help you?

With what?

Create a balance.

Even if it's just once,

once you betray Woon Beom,

you'll be able to live with it.

Hello?

No. I'll go straight to the hospital.

I'm sorry to cut things short.

Will you come with me?

EMERGENCY CENTER

I should go now.

Oh. Okay, then.

Let's meet properly next time. Just the two of us.

EMERGENCY CENTER

Are you all right?

I look all right to you, don't I?

I look fine, right?

What did I say?

I said today is an important day.

I said I ovulate today!

How many times must I say?

How many times must I say it for you to get the message?

Are you disregarding me?

Am I a nobody to you? Do I mean nothing?

How many times must I tell you?

Are you belittling me? How dare you!

You're home.

Look at that.

Seriously.

When did you get home?

I came right home after the meeting.

Did you work things out?

Yes. We put the order in again right away,

so we'll be able to meet the deadline.

I guess it wasn't that urgent.

Yes, it was.

I went right away and took care of it, that's why.

You didn't want to see Myung Woon, did you?

Why do you say that?

If you didn't want to go in the first place,

you shouldn't have made plans. What is this?

That's not it.

Yes, it is.

Then you would've come back,

not sit here laughing at the TV.

Seriously.

Your wife was eating alone with another man.

How could you not call or text once?

Is it that much fun watching TV? How can you drink right now?

What's wrong with you? It was Myung Woon of all people.

You don't have to worry if it's Myung Woon?

Why? Based on what?

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Enough already!

Chung Kyung.

Do you even sleep at night?

Can you sleep while waiting for texts on your silenced phone?

I silenced it so it wouldn't wake you.

In case I'd wake up?

Not in case I'd find out?

What misconception do you have?

A few days ago...

You got a text.

And you got up and texted back immediately!

It's strange! And suspicious!

Why didn't you ask right away?

Who was it?

Hwa Ran. Myung Woon's wife.

Why did...

Hwa Ran call you in the middle of the night?

I think she's depressed.

She has no one to talk to, so I feel bad.

Is that all?

What do you mean? What else would it be?

Honey.

Honey! Honey!

Didn't you see this? It split.

I didn't see it.

I'll do it. We don't have any extras, right?

You have a guest.

Okay.

Stay here. I'll go.

Chung Kyung.

It's so good to see you.

I've missed you.

I begged Ji Sung because I wanted to see you.

What's wrong with her?

She even requested furniture from you,

but she lied that she didn't have your number.

Why? Did you not want me...

to contact you?

It's good to see you. It has been a while.

Hello.

What brings you here?

What do you mean?

I wanted to order a dresser.

For my husband's study.

He has a lot of things lying around.

We apologize,

but we don't have time to take any more orders.

I'm not in a rush.

I can wait.

I'll just preorder it.

No.

We can't take any.

We have a lot of orders backed up.

We're short-staffed,

so we can't take on that much work.

I'm so hurt, Chung Kyung.

I've missed you a lot.

You've changed.

You used to do anything for me.

I should've told you about our schedule first.

Please call in advance next time so you don't come for nothing.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

We can't do it.

Our number's written there.

Please call us.

Do you still say it's nothing? Do you?

What is it? Why is she here?

Why did she come here?

I don't know. I know nothing about it.

I haven't taken her calls since.

Is there really nothing between you two?

I'll be rational.

She called a married man in the middle of the night...

and had the nerve to show up here.

Why should I care what you did with someone like that?

- Stop that. - Stop what?

I'm sorry for making you get the wrong idea,

but she's not like that. So don't talk about her like that.

- What is she like, then? - Not the type you think...

Nothing happened, and there's nothing between us.

So don't say things like that.

- Hello? - It's me, Hwa Ran.

Woon Beom...

Your husband...

loves me.

I'm sorry, Chung Kyung.

This is what I went to tell you, but I couldn't.

Let's grab some food together.

I want to apologize.

How long have you known?

You knew from the start, didn't you?

You were testing my reaction by saying those things.

Was it fun?

That's why I'm sitting here,

don't you think?

But it is a bit of a pain to get involved like this.

You don't look like it.

You gave her my number...

and knew she'd come to my workshop.

Weren't you after that?

I don't have that much time to kill.

I had no choice but to tell her because she kept nagging.

You two are the same.

You pretended not to know and tested me.

Hwa Ran toyed with my husband's emotions for years,

then called me directly...

and asked me to meet.

And yet, you came.

Because she'll keep contacting my husband if I don't.

We should end that today.

I guess you don't want to get divorced?

Why should I?

Sure.

Holding out is winning.

Chung Kyung

Chung Kyung. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

For what?

It was too hard for me.

You know. I'm not strong like you.

I can't do anything on my own.

And... I was too scared.

I had no choice.

But you know, nothing happened.

What's the standard for that "nothing"?

I love my husband too much.

I'm not the type that can sleep with other men.

It's just... When it got too hard for me,

I just...

couldn't handle it.

So?

Every time you didn't feel well or got depressed,

you sought my husband who responded and came running...

whenever you contacted him?

You must be very angry.

I'm not angry.

Don't lie.

How could you not be?

I'm the one who's sorry.

- For what? - I knew everything.

That...

he went to the hospital whenever you ended up there.

That he took your calls and responded to your texts...

even if it was in the middle of the night.

I knew about it all.

Since when?

Since the beginning, naturally.

He tells me everything.

I told him to do it.

To go to you.

That's not possible.

You sat back and watched your husband love another woman?

How is that possible?

It isn't love.

It's pity.

Because we felt sorry for you.

I felt bad for you...

so I told my husband to do that.

But don't contact him anymore.

There's just so much pity we can have for someone.

My husband and I are both exhausted.

If you want to vent...

or beg for attention,

do it to your husband.

You're back.

I met with Hwa Ran today.

She asked me to meet.

She wanted to apologize.

She said that my husband...

That you love her...

and that she's sorry.

What the...

Is she wrong?

That's absurd.

I went to the ER that day.

I saw you standing there next to Hwa Ran.

I followed you and saw everything.

Then you must know.

Nothing happened.

She had no guardian, so I...

There were no feelings involved?

What you saw was everything.

You really don't know, do you?

You don't know how your face looked back then.

You should've just slept with her.

What was that?

How can you say there were no feelings involved?

- Chung Kyung. - Why you?

How could you...

or all people?

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you making me feel so pathetic?

How could you do this to me? How could you?

How could you?

Please, don't do this.

Where are you going?

It's not that big a deal. There's no reason for this.

That's not for you to decern.

Hello, Father.

HAN MYUNG WOON

Hello?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Want to have some wine?

Right now?

Is it too late?

No. I'll come.

EAST HILLS UNIT 2401

Why do you need a place like this when you have a home?

It's good to have secrets from your spouse.

It's more comfortable that way.

What kind of marriage is that?

Who cares?

I guess.

Who cares?

What do you want to do?

You said you'd help me, right?

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father. Father.

Father! Wake up.

Father! Wake up!

Father!

OPERATING ROOM

Pick up.

HONEY

CHUNG KYUNG

HONEY

Where...

CHUNG KYUNG

I told you.

You're still just as pretty, Chung Kyung.

Wait.

Why?

He has his own studio.

He doesn't know that I know.

You scumbag!

Chung Kyung.

Chung Kyung.

Open up.

It's me, Chung Kyung. It's okay, so open up.

Open up. You...

This isn't the time for this. Father...

Father...

passed away. You have to go.

Open up.

Open this door, Chung Kyung.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE

Thanks.

I was able to send my father off properly thanks to you.

I want a divorce.

Let's get a divorce.

I have no intention of breaking up with you.

We've seen each other's worst.

How can we live together?

We have to live.

You and I, together.

We're each other's only family.

Is that possible?

It'll be hard to forget,

but still.

I won't lose you over that.

How...

will you forgive me?

It wasn't your fault.

It was my fault.

The wounds of the heart that we...

That you and I gave each other...

No one...

but the two of us...

can make them heal.

Let's bury them.

Let's let time heal them.

So let's live together...

for a long, long time.

Please do that for me.

It's snowing.

We have to do it, right?

Will it snow through the afternoon?

The meeting is in the afternoon, right?

Yes.

I'll drive you. It's dangerous with the snow.

It tastes good.

Eat up.
