(Episode 109)

Did Jung Min play this CD?

I'm sorry...

we're celebrating our
one-year anniversary a day later.

I cherish all the memories
we made together, honey.

I love you.

Let's continue to build
even better memories together.

I love you, Ji Eun.

I'm sorry for getting angry at you.

Me too. I'm sorry for getting upset.

Did you go to my dad
and talk about me behind by back?

He congratulated me on having
our first fight as a married couple.

He told me to make sure...

that the fight never lasts
for more than a day.

I was actually trying to figure out
how to make you feel better.

But you were kind
and generous enough...

to reach out to me first. Thank you.

Thank you for being my husband.

I'm sorry
I stood you up yesterday...

on our one-year anniversary.

It's okay.

This is better than eating out.

You know how much I love your food.

You must be hungry.

I'll hurry up and wash.

She's so quick to notice things.

("More Evil Than the Devil")

("Odd Thomas")

Do you remember?

The first meal we had together
was sushi.

Come to think of it,
we fought that day too.

I purposely tried to mess
with your pride...

so I could convince you
to translate and interpret for me.

But I only ended up getting scolded.

If you hadn't provoked me that day,

I'd probably still be a housekeeper.

Do you know what it was you said...

that really got to me that day?

What?

Resilience.

"The ability to recover."

You told me
I needed to build resilience...

so I could overcome my scars
and heal from them.

I said all those stuff
to make you fall for me.

Now that I think about it,
I really became a big success.

I used to be a housekeeper,
and now I'm a CEO.

You worked so hard to get this far.

You deserve it.

I should be grateful for everything
I have right now.

Like you said,
maybe I really am whining.

You always put up with me,

and I guess that made me
throw tantrums like a baby.

You can keep throwing tantrums,

but I was upset when you said
you feel burdensome...

and pressured living as my wife.

I know you only said that
because you were exhausted.

But still, it made me get angry.

I got worried you might leave me.

I forgot that you're
a very sensitive man.

So go easy on me, okay?

No, I'm going to love you
ferociously.

Ji Eun.

Love is about building
something together...

while making sure
you don't lose yourself.

Let's do just that.

Let's build our lives together
without losing ourselves.

To our happiness.

Cheers.

Eat up.

You make the best sushi.

She's the person
who bought your bar.

This deal is invalid.

She already signed the contract,

and she even paid the down payment.

Why did you buy this place?

This was the only way
to make you show up.

Sir, I'll take care of it from now.
You can go.

He's my husband
who ran away from home.

Anyway, she signed the contract...

and wired the down payment
to your bank account.

And I already got my commission.

So you two can
take care of the rest.

Husband, my foot.
We're pretty much strangers.

Sit down. I have a lot to say.

We haven't met in six months.

Did you eat well?

Did you buy this place
and make me come all the way here...

just so you could ask me...

if I ate well?

Why did you buy this place?

I obviously bought it
to run the place.

- Who's going to run the place?
- You.

Says who?

Says me.

Why are you acting so sly?

I'm trying to seduce you again.

I got divorced.

I'm legally single now,

so it's okay to hit on you.

I won't fall for it.

Time will tell.

Are you really
going to run this place?

I get that you paid
the down payment,

but what about
the rest of the money?

I used the house you bought me
as collateral to take out a loan.

What?

This place needs to do well
in order for me to pay off my loan.

You're unbelievable.

Why would you take out a loan
with that house as collateral...

only to buy my business?

Then it'd be a waste
to pay the interest.

What are you doing?

See? I'm dumb.

That's why I need you in my life.

I'll think about it.

You kept me hanging until now.

This time, it's my turn.

What have you been up to?

I was enjoying my life
with young and pretty ladies.

Goodness, that's great.

You'll no longer have the privilege
to do that from now on,

so I'll just put a lid on it.

You're so unpredictable.

That's why you'll never
get tired of me.

Goodness.

If you don't come back home,

I might do something dumb again.

Like what?

I'll sell the house you bought me,

go up to the rooftop,
and throw the cash down the street.

Go to the bank right now
and cancel the loan.

I was kidding.

Ji Eun lent me the down payment.

My goodness.

Are you going somewhere?

I told you last time...

that I need to go to Jeju Island
to play golf.

Must you go?

It's regarding work.

I don't want my clients
to lose faith in me.

But this time,
it's just to get acquainted.

Why don't you skip it?

You had tons of meetings
and worked overtime this week.

Last week, you even went on
a business trip outside the city.

You even had to go to the hospital,
so I bet you're really exhausted.

This week, you should get some rest.

You know that running a business
is all about...

keeping a good relationship
with other people.

Maintaining a good connection
is really important.

All the client executives
will be attending this time,

so I can't miss it.

("Getting Past Your Past")

"Getting Past Your Past"?

Is this book for me?

Well...

Ji Eun.

I don't want you...

to keep hurting yourself.

If we're not blessed with a child,

let's just accept it.

I know you're having a hard time.

You're exhausted due to our constant
failure of artificial insemination.

And you keep getting hurt by that.

I can do it.
I'm going to get pregnant.

Some things
just can't be controlled.

You're all I need.

Jung Min, I want to be confident
as your wife.

Why can't you be confident
without a baby?

You don't get it
because you're not a woman.

It's easy for you to say...

because you're not the one
with the problem.

But my situation
isn't the same as yours.

Come on. We're married.

We're in the same situation.

It's sweet of you to say that.

But it really doesn't console me.

I'm going to keep
getting treatment...

until I get pregnant with our baby
no matter how much it drains me.

Okay, fine.

If we must have a baby,

why can't we just adopt?

Adoption is an amazing thing.

But I want your baby, Jung Min.

You like children,

so we can think about adopting...

after we have a baby of our own.

I don't know.

I just think you're being stubborn.

Our happiness is what matters.

Why do you care
what other people think?

I'm living with a guy
who receives the public's attention.

That's what makes everything
so burdensome.

Then what can I do for you?

I'm not asking you
to do anything for me.

I'm just stating the facts.

Ji Eun.

Why is it that you always want
to have everything your way?

That's why I told you
that I'm the problem.

Do you know something?

I find it hard to talk to you
every time we talk about children...

because it makes you become
so sensitive.

That's why I need to get pregnant.

Hey, Jung Min.

Mr. Seo,
why don't you visit these days?

I went there last week.

I think I can go see you tomorrow.

Really? Can't you come right now?

No, it's too late. I'll go tomorrow.

But why aren't you sleeping?

I can't seem to sleep.

My caregiver wants to talk to you.

Jung Min.

Just wait a little bit more.

I'll go see you soon.

You remember
what I promised you, right?

I promised you that we'll live...

a happy life with Mr. Seo.

He's sick. I can't leave him there
all by himself.

The lady who takes care of him
suddenly had to go...

because of something urgent.

And the other caregivers
aren't able to take her place.

I should be there for him.

I never told you not to go.

You also agreed to be his guardian
until he receives...

his bone marrow transplant
and gets adopted.

It's not that I don't regret that.

He's grown on me too.

I don't judge him based on
what Seo Eun Ju did to me.

I do feel a lot more relieved...

knowing that Seo Eun Ju
actually brought him...

from an orphanage.

I'm also human.

So I would've stopped visiting him
if he were her biological son.

What time will you be back?

You're leaving tomorrow morning
to play golf.

That means I'll be home alone.

So I think I'm going to spend
the night there with Jung Min.

Do as you wish.

Why do I always get so upset
at Jung Min?

Were you sleeping?

Yes, what brings you here
at this hour?

Mom told me to return your money.

The money she borrowed from you
to buy Mr. Kang's bar.

She could've just wired it to me.

You didn't have to come
all the way here.

I offered to come here
because I actually have...

something to say.

By the way, where's Jung Min?
Didn't he come home yet?

He had to go somewhere.

That's actually better.

But what is it that you need
to say to me?

Is everything okay with the family?

Ji Eun.

Can I have this money?

For what?

That's too much pocket money.

It's not for pocket money.

I want to use it
to start my own business.

How are you going to start
your own business?

Dad and I are going to start
a publishing company.

I think it'll be fun to make books.

Does Dad know?

Of course not.

Then let's think about it.

This is the first time you've ever
been interested in anything.

And it looks like Dad is
going to continue writing.

So I actually think it might be
a good idea for him...

to run a publishing company
even if it's small in size.

Ji Eun, can I sleep over tonight?

I even wrote a business proposal
for you.

Then let's hear your presentation.

This is actually good.
Jung Min won't be coming home.

Why not?

Did you guys fight?

No.

He went to visit little Jung Min.

I really don't get you guys.

I get that he's not
her biological son.

But why do you guys visit him?

You already paid his hospital fees.

That doesn't mean you need
to visit him every now and then.

You know how much
Jung Min likes kids.

Gosh, how frustrating.

"If you hold up the wand
and say the magic spell,"

"you'll end up at a fun place
that also smells great."

"Where can I find the wand?"

"The candy that Mom
hung up on the tree..."

"looks like a wand."

"I don't know where we will end up."

"Do you think we can really go?"

"That's what it says
in the magic book."

"Happy... Happy..."

When is my mom coming back?

You miss your mom a lot, don't you?

Once you get
your bone marrow transplant...

and do everything that the doctor
tells you to do,

your mom will be back.

I waited every day...

and counted to 100 days.

But I forgot the numbers after that.

You know how to count to 100?

Sometimes, I can.
But sometimes, I can't.

Then why don't we count
to 100 together?

Okay.

Ready, go.

- 2.

I forgot to call you yesterday...

because I was too busy
with the art exhibition.

You were going to call me?

Why?

I thought you might want to know...

what Mr. Kim and I talked about
over the dumpling soup.

I'm not curious.

If you're not curious,

why did you come so early
in the morning for coffee?

I'm sure you didn't come
because you missed me.

Hey, it's the weekend,
I don't sleep in,

and I got bored.

And it's fun to be around you
since you're always so feisty.

It increases my endorphins.

Then why don't you buy
some of the paintings?

Why? Is the gallery not doing well?

So many things happened,

so it'd be weird
if things still went well.

I see.

So what? You're just
going to shut the place down?

We've been losing money
for a while now.

I'm thinking about
shutting the place down.

Are you going to get married?

You must really like Mr. Km.

What are you talking about?

I'm too old to like anyone.

What does your age
have anything to do with that?

And nothing's too late in life.

I'm thinking about going to France
to study art.

It's always been my dream
to become a painter.

And dreams exist
so you can achieve them.

So I started to think
that maybe I should give it a shot.

Myung Hwa, you really are
full of passion.

You had to endure and go through
so many hardships.

Then you almost died...

because of that psycho, Seo Eun Ju.

But you're still full of energy,

and you're even open to start
something new even at that age.

I really admire that about you.

I'm not being sarcastic.

I know that you're someone
who cares a lot.

But of course, that only applies
to the people you like.

Thank you...

for getting rid of the grudge
you had against my late brother.

You told me...

that blood needs to be washed away
by water, not blood.

I regret...

having wasted my life in resentment.

You're still young and beautiful.

It's not too late to start
a new life.

It's not too late for you
to fall in love either.

Why? What did Mr. Kim say?

I heard you told him
not to hit on you...

if he's going to be vague.

That's because I don't want
to get fooled by him at this age.

I think Mr. Kim's nervous...

that you might turn him down.

A man should know
how to lead a woman.

You're not an ordinary woman.

You know you can be
difficult to please.

When you're with the man you like,
you should act a bit more feminine.

Stop being so hard on him,
and start acting cute.

I stopped acting cute long ago.

I don't even remember how.

You're the only person
who can make yourself happy.

Only you can make yourself happy.

I hope you'll try to find
your own happiness.

You've made enough money.

Please.

You want me to lie to your mother?

What if she finds out that we don't
ever plan on getting married?

Why don't you just come clean...

and tell your parents that you never
want to get married?

What? If I say that,
my dad will kill me.

No way.

Are you not helping me
because you want to marry me?

My gosh, you're unbelievable.
Do you want to know the truth?

What?

If I meet your mother
and introduce myself to her,

she'll expect us to get married.

If she asks for my number,
I'll have to give it to her.

What if she thinks of me
as her future daughter-in-law...

and calls me really often?

Don't worry.
I'll make sure she doesn't do that.

I don't think you have the guts
to talk back to your parents.

You're right.

I can deal with my mom,
but my dad's really scary.

Why are you so against
getting married?

It doesn't seem like
it's because you want to have fun.

Well, you see...

My mom had to take care
of her mother-in-law,

help my dad's siblings study,
and she even married them off.

She sacrificed her entire life
doing that,

and she wasn't happy.

I hated my dad for making her
suffer so much,

but it's weird how you take after
the traits that you hate.

As I grew older, I started becoming
more and more like my dad.

He's so stingy and fussy.

Why did I have to take after...

Anyway,

I don't want to get married...

because I don't want to take away
a woman's freedom.

I guess I have no choice.

You already set an appointment,
so I can't meet her empty-handed.

What do you think?
Will this look nice on your mother?

Good choice.

I'd like to buy this.

Why are you paying?

Gosh.

You taught me how to do stocks,

and it's sweet of you
to be so considerate of your mother.

I hope my mom doesn't like you.

Yes.

I went all the way to the airport,

but I really wasn't feeling well,
so I came back home.

I promise I'll play golf
with you guys next time.

Okay, bye.

I didn't see Jung Min's shoes
by the entrance.

Maybe he came home
and took a nap...

because he stayed up all night
at the hospital.

(Phoenix 2020)

I thought you were dead.

Are you disappointed
that I'm still alive?

Why are you doing this to me?

Because I want you gone.

When did you come back
from the States?

I came straight from the airport.

Is Mr. Jang doing well?

I'd like some space for a while.

I'll contact you once I'm done
organizing my thoughts.

Once Lee Ji Eun disappears,

your life will become
a lot more comfortable.

I know that I'm the one
you need in your life.
