Mr. Lee.

Someone is here for the live-in tutor job interview.

Is that so?

But I've yet to receive a resume.

Well, you see…

Mr. Lee, hello.

I'm here for the live-in tutor job interview.

Ms. Park, what is this?

Are you kidding me?

Mr. Lee, I'm not.

I've thought carefully about it.

You're currently looking to hire a live-in tutor.

When it comes to Jae-ni, Se-chan, and Se-jong,

no one can be a better tutor for them than me.

I'm sure you agree.

Most importantly,

the kids adore me.

Mr. Lee, I wish to work here again.

Please let me.

Mr. Lee, please think of the children

and set your personal emotions aside.

I get it.

So please leave for now.

All right.

Mr. Lee, I'll wait for your call.

Please call me.

What did he say?

He'll think about it.

What on earth does he need to think about?

Ms. Jo is no longer an issue.

Shouldn't he be grateful

that you're willing to come back?

I mean, the kids absolutely adore you.

Tell me about it.

My gosh.

-Ms. Park! -Ms. Park!

Se-chan, Se-jong!

What are you doing here, Ms. Park?

Did you come to see us?

I came here for the live-in tutor job interview

so I can get my old job back.

Why do you need an interview?

Can't you just work here again?

Mr. Lee put out a recruitment notice to hire a new in-house tutor.

So I came by for a job interview.

Since I quit, I need to go through the proper procedure.

I see.

Se-jong, Se-chan,

you'll help me get my old job back, right?

Yes, we'll help.

What can we do, though?

Put in a good word for me to your dad.

That's a given.

Ms. Park, don't worry.

My dad usually gives me everything I ask for.

Is that so? Then I'll put my faith in you, sir.

Ms. Park, we should talk.

Jae-ni.

Ms. Park, are you trying to get your old job back

so you can get back together with my dad?

Yes.

I do wish to get back together with your dad,

but I also want to stay with you guys.

Ms. Park, I'll always welcome you as our tutor,

but I don't accept you as my dad's girlfriend.

Jae-ni…

I hate the idea of you two dating.

My dad should date someone who could be our mother.

But you as our mother?

Can you picture that?

I can't even imagine that happening.

Jae-ni, it was the same for me at first.

I couldn't even imagine such a thing.

But now,

I have confidence in myself.

That's why I wasn't afraid to date him.

Unbelievable.

You think you can be our mom?

Aren't you aware of our age gap?

What will people say about you being our mom?

My friends would make fun of us,

asking if you're really our mom.

Jae-ni, I don't believe that a decent age gap

is what it takes for someone to be a mother.

Rather than a mother in the typical sense,

I want to be your friend.

A good friend who understands you.

Jae-ni, haven't we gotten along well so far?

I believe we can continue to do so.

And I have never considered life with your dad

without you three in the equation.

Unbelievable.

That's what you were thinking while you worked as our tutor?

It makes me sick inside to hear that.

I feel betrayed.

Dad, I don't want anyone else

as our tutor other than Ms. Park.

Me neither.

Se-chan, Se-jong. Ms. Park can't be your tutor.

I'll find someone better for you.

We don't want another tutor.

Se-chan, haven't I explained enough?

It was hard for Ms. Park to finally move on.

If she gets her old job back,

she'll suffer again.

We can't be selfish.

We're not being selfish.

Ms. Park wants her job back!

We all want the same thing!

It's not possible.

And I won't go back on my decision.

So I want you to get on board with it.

You're back to being the old-fashioned tyrant.

You're an old-fashioned tyrant, and I hate you.

I hate the idea of you two dating.

My dad should date someone who could be our mother,

but you?

Can you picture that?

I can't even imagine that happening.

Jae-ni has every right to think that way. It's only natural.

I would've reacted the same way.

Mr. Lee, I wish to work here again.

Please let me.

I get it,

so please leave for now.

What's his problem, though?

How could he be so brusque with me?

It's not like we're strangers.

Please leave for now?

He seems like a total stranger when he does that.

So annoying.

I knew it.

I bet he's feeling bad about how he treated me.

Why else would he call me already?

Yes, Mr. Lee.

Right now?

I'll be there.

Ms. Park.

I'll never be rehiring you as our live-in tutor,

so don't wait for my call.

Mr. Lee.

Are you here to tell me that?

Do you realize what you did by coming over just now?

What?

Se-chan and Se-jong

were just getting used to your absence

and finally moving on.

But you showed up out of the blue and shook them up.

So they're having a hard time again.

Se-jong's separation anxiety was just getting better.

How could you do this?

We can always get back together.

The kids want me back.

Ms. Park.

We've had the same conversation over and over again.

I don't want to repeat it.

If we get back together, the same thing will happen.

People's prejudice,

your father's objection, Jae-ni's objection…

We were left with nothing but scars.

Even so,

I want to be with you.

Ms. Park.

Let's not repeat our mistakes

and hurt each other again.

It must've been hard for you to get over me.

My children and I

have also been through a lot to get over you.

So don't do this again.

Please, Ms. Park.

What's going on?

Was she discharged?

What are you doing here? You should be at the hospital.

You need to get more tests done

to set a date for your surgery.

I'm not getting surgery.

What?

Then what?

Are you just going to die?

I'll go to the US to wrap things up

and spend the rest of my days there.

Kim Ji-young.

What are you thinking?

You can live if you have the surgery.

Who says that I can live after the surgery?

You heard what the doctor said.

Surgery is the only option.

Without surgery, you might not even last six months.

Ji-young, you can live if you get the surgery.

You have to try everything. Don't give up like this.

So let's go back to the hospital.

No. I don't want to.

I will end up dying either way.

I might die on the operating table.

I'm being punished by the skies,

so I'll just suffer the punishment.

I want to accept this as my fate.

I don't want to struggle for life.

So don't come looking for me again, Soo-chul.

Ji-young.

Don't do this.

Don't be so weak.

Please don't do this!

I got sick again

because I didn't take the punishment I deserved.

I've done so many bad deeds.

So

don't worry about someone like me.

You can't just die like this.

Don't you even care about Dan-dan?

If you just die like this,

you'll break Dan-dan's heart again.

Soo-chul…

So stay alive.

If you feel sorry about what you did to me and Dan-dan,

stay alive and let us resent you.

Dan-dan hates you so much.

If you die like this, she will be devastated.

Soo-chul.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I will make you live.

You can live.

So please…

Don't do this, Ji-young.

What are you doing?

Young people these days have no shame.

They're not shy about displaying their affection in public.

I wonder what the world is coming to.

I think it's sweet. How cute is that?

My gosh.

Only young people can do that. They must be newlyweds.

-What? Mom. -What?

Isn't that Mi-rim?

What?

What?

Right. That's her.

And who's the guy kissing Mi-rim's hand?

Gosh, please.

Isn't that Jun-o?

Yes, he is. My goodness.

Why are they walking arm in arm?

What's with all the kissing?

-I don't know. -Hang on.

Wait. Hold on a second.

Why?

What?

Let's go.

Why are they going in there together?

I don't know.

Let's hurry and cook. I'm starving.

I'll cook the eggs and sausages.

Then I'll make tofu stew.

Sounds good.

Who could it be? Is it the landlady?

Who is it?

Grandma. Auntie.

Auntie. Grandma.

My goodness. What are you guys doing in here?

Don't tell me you two are living together.

Is that it?

My goodness. Mi-rim.

Grandma.

So you two moved in together without telling us?

Is that it?

I can't believe this.

You said you'd live with your friend.

Is Jun-o that friend?

Yes, Grandma. We're friends.

What are you going on about?

You are living with a man.

This won't do. Mi-rim, pack your stuff right away.

No. I want to live here, Auntie.

And there's no room for me at your place.

I like it here.

Mi-rim, have you lost your mind?

My goodness. Mi-rim.

Are you sure you're my granddaughter?

And you, Jun-o. Move out this instant!

You can't live here with Mi-rim.

I'm sorry, Auntie and Grandma.

Can't you just pretend you never saw us?

I also want to stay here.

I can't break up with Mi-rim.

What's that? What are we going to do with them?

-I can't believe this. -My gosh.

Gosh, Jun-o…

If your mom finds out about this, she will go crazy.

She will pull Mi-rim's hair out.

So you have to break up this instant.

-No. -No.

What?

My goodness. What are we going to do with them?

Guys…

What is going on?

I can't believe this is happening.

Yes?

This way.

Young-kuk. It's me.

Hey, Se-ryeon.

Hi, Young-kuk.

Young-kuk, do you recognize her?

Are you Ji-min?

You're right. I'm Ji-min.

I'm glad you recognize me.

It's been a while.

What brings you by?

Young-kuk, don't you need new paintings in your office?

If you do, why don't you let Ji-min take care of it?

Paintings?

Ji-min closed her New York gallery a few months ago

and moved back here to work as a curator at her mom's art center.

Oh, really?

Yes. My mom insisted I move back.

Then give me your business card.

Sure.

Here you go.

I'll call if I need help.

Young-kuk, it has been a while since we met.

Buy me a meal.

It's lunchtime.

Young-kuk, are you free?

Yes, I am. Let's go out.

Young-kuk, when I was in high school,

I visited your place so often.

Do you know why?

In high school?

Did she do that?

See? He still has no idea.

He's totally clueless about such things.

What do you mean?

The truth is,

Ji-min had a huge crush on you back then.

That's why she came over all the time.

She wore down the threshold.

Did you?

Yes. Then I moved to the US to study.

I still missed you there,

so I emailed you often.

You emailed me?

Yes. But I got really upset

because you never replied.

Did I not?

I told you. He was in the navy then.

Anyway…

Do you know what upset me the most?

I walked around until my feet got blisters

to get a pretty figurine for you.

I found out later

that it was in Se-ryeon's room.

I was so hurt then.

That's when I ended my unrequited love for you.

Goodness. I feel terrible.

Don't be.

Seeing you again brings back memories,

and I miss those days now.

I was so immature back then.

That was 15 years ago. No, 20 years ago.

It's hard to believe so much time has passed.

You're right.

A long time has passed.

How about a toast?

Raise your glasses to our present.

Cheers.

Come in.

Se-ryeon. You were still here?

Yes. Ji-min and I had a long chat nearby.

There was so much to catch up on.

I came to ask you something.

I thought it would be best to ask in person.

What is it?

Ji-min asked me to tell you

that she'd like to date you.

What?

Since her divorce,

she had no interest in getting remarried.

But seeing you today changed her mind.

She thinks you're still cool

and asked me to tell you.

You're not ready yet, are you?

Because of Ms. Park and all.

No, Se-ryeon. Tell her we should meet.

Are you sure?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Your card has been declined.

It has?

Why is that? Then try this instead.

I'm sorry. This doesn't work either.

-It doesn't work? -No.

That's odd. Why won't it work?

Both cards were suspended.

What? Suspended?

That can't be…

Has he given up on Ms. Park?

If he's willing to see Ji-min…

Hi, Mom.

Why did you call?

Se-ryeon.

I'm at the Interdugo Hotel.

Get here now.

You've been staying at the Interdugo Hotel?

You what?

Mom, I'm hanging up.

Whether you get humiliated or go to the police station,

I don't care anymore!

Darn it.

What, 4.56 million won?

Yes, that's the total.

I'll pay for that.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hey, Se-ryeon. Wait for me.

Must you do this?

You're not in the situation

to relax at a five-star hotel!

Se-ryeon. Then do you expect me to stay

at a rundown inn at my age?

I'm going to block your number now.

This is the end of it.

Okay?

Wait, Se-ryeon!

What should I do, then?

I have nowhere to go. Where should I go?

Why ask me that?

-My gosh. -Wait up.

Se-ryeon, wait. Wait for me.

I can't stay with Se-ryeon or with Ms. Jang,

and all my cards were suspended.

Now I'm penniless too.

Right. Everyone will be in bed by now.

I'll just sneak in.

I'll die here if I must.

If we get back together, the same thing will happen.

People's prejudice,

your father's objection, Jae-ni's objection…

We were left with nothing but scars.

Even so,

I want to be with you.

I got you a table at noon tomorrow at Black Label Restaurant.

I hope it works out well between you two

since you decided to see her.

Be positive, okay?

Ms. Park.

I'll never be rehiring you as our live-in tutor,

so don't wait for my call.

It must've been hard for you to get over me.

My children and I

have also been through a lot to get over you.

So don't do this again.

Is he really trying to get over me?

No.

He still likes me.

That's a fact.

I can tell by his eyes.

60 CHICKEN 60 CHICKENS AND NEW OIL EVERY DAY

What should we do?

What should we do about Mi-rim and Jun-o?

It's not like I can drag her out by her hair.

Mi-sook isn't as smart as she thinks.

How can she be this clueless when her son's rarely home?

He probably lied that he was staying at a friend's.

She'll throw a fit if she finds out that Mi-rim and Jun-o are living together.

My gosh.

-Yeon-sil. -My gosh!

What did you just say?

What do you mean, Jun-o is living with Mi-rim?

They're living together?

Mi-rim,

I think it's time for us to tell my mom.

Are you sure?

Your uncle saw us and so did Dae-beom.

Now, Auntie and Grandma also know.

It's only a matter of time before my mom finds out.

Besides, she has to know about us anyway.

I'm good with whatever you want.

All right.

Then let's power through this.

We only need my mom to approve.

I'll face the challenge head-on.

-Mom! -Ms. Jang!

My gosh. What is all this?

Are you really my Jun-o?

Why are you here with Mi-rim?

What is all this? Are you out of your mind?

Mom, please calm down and let me explain.

You…

Have you and Mi-rim really been living here?

Is it true?

Yes, Mom. It's true.

You're out of your mind!

How could you do this?

After what I did to raise you?

-You… -Please don't do this.

-Mi-sook, please calm down. -Goodness.

How could you even think of moving in with a girl?

How could you?

Right under my nose.

You've been lying to me.

Ms. Shin,

why didn't you do anything after seeing them here?

How could you keep me in the dark?

Please. You have it wrong.

We only just found out ourselves.

We tried to talk them out of this as well.

But what could we do when they were adamant about staying together?

No. This is wrong.

Just wrong.

My Jun-o would never.

This must be a nightmare.

It can't be real.

Mi-rim, I'll be back.

Mom!

My goodness. What do we do about this?

This is why we told you to end this!

Gosh, what do we do about this?

Auntie, Grandma…

Mom, have some of this.

And please hear me out.

Jun-o, listen to me.

I'll forget what I saw.

I'll think that you were never living

in that shabby house with Mi-rim.

I'll erase what I saw from my head, so you do the same.

This never happened.

It didn't happen. It was only a dream. Got it?

Mom.

Denying this won't change the fact that I like Mi-rim

and that we've lived there together.

I liked her even before I found out that we were in-laws.

I'm afraid you'll have to accept it.

Are you trying to give me a heart attack?

How could you of all people do this to me?

After everything I did to raise you

and protect your innocence!

How could you tarnish yourself by moving in with a girl?

Mom.

What did you just say to me?

I tarnished myself?

How can living with Mi-rim mean that I'm tainted?

Is that what you think?

Is that what you think about Mi-rim and me?

Jun-o…

I'm done talking to you.

Don't interfere in my life anymore.

I'm going to keep living there with Mi-rim.

Jun-o.

Jun-o… My gosh.

What has gotten into him?

What do I do?

What now?

Young-kuk, I feel like I'm dreaming.

I can't believe I'm dining alone with you.

Back in high school when I had a crush on you,

I dreamed of having a meal with you.

My dream has finally come true.

Young-kuk, we met again after a long time

and we've both had our hearts broken.

Rather than labeling what we are,

let's just keep it casual.

Sure thing.

We'll meet from time to time to eat together,

share our interests, and talk about our lives.

Sounds good to me. We'll go to recitals, galleries,

and go golfing to see if we click.

I actually have a good feeling about this.

Am I getting ahead of myself?

Ji-min, are you aware that I have three children?

Of course.

I promised them something, you see.

They will be the first to meet whomever I date.

I can't consider a life that doesn't include them in the picture.

I understand, Young-kuk.

Se-ryeon reminded me so many times

that your children are your whole world.

That being said, how about you meet with them first?

You'll have to get along with them

for us to take this any further.

Young-kuk, please. There's no need to be hesitant.

Of course, I should meet them.

I'm curious about them too,

so arrange for us to meet as soon as possible.

Right. Thank you for understanding.

We already ate so much at your baby's birthday party, though.

That's how grateful I am.

Besides, we didn't get to talk that much.

Anyway, let's hurry.

It's nice to have my husband watch the baby

and get some fresh air.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Well, then…

She must be his girlfriend.

Let's go.

Go ahead without me. I need to stop by the restroom.

Sure. Got it.

Who is she to link arms with him?

Who is that woman?

I'm taking you out to meet someone tomorrow.

Who?

She's Aunt Se-ryeon's friend

and someone I used to know.

I'm thinking about seeing her.

Are you saying you'll date one of Auntie's friends?

If you take a liking to her,

that's what I'll consider.

It's better than you not liking her when we're already a couple.

Dad, how can you date someone so soon after breaking up with Ms. Park?

This is just wrong!

Se-jong, what do you think?

I also think it's wrong.

Se-chan, Se-jong.

I don't mean we'll instantly become a couple.

I'm just letting you meet her first.

If you don't like her,

I'll reconsider.

So how about you meet her tomorrow?

Okay, Dad.

Se-chan, Se-jong.

Do you want Dad to grow old as a lonely man?

He should date other people.

Fine. Let's meet her then.

I bet Ms. Park is way better!

There won't be anyone better than Ms. Park.

It seems like spring is finally here.

The night breeze is still chilly,

but there's a warmth to it as well. Right?

Oh, right. I guess.

Dan-dan.

To tell you the truth,

I'm really glad to be reunited with you.

I liked you since we were in college.

Were you aware of that?

Really?

I had no idea.

How can you be so dense?

I bought beverages only for you

and waited whenever your classes ended late.

I thought you were just comfortable being around me.

That being said,

will you go out with me?

I'm sorry, Hyeon-bin.

I have feelings for someone else.

Chairman Lee, right?

I figured.

That's why I'm speaking up.

He's not compatible with you.

He's seeing someone else now.

Hyeon-bin,

I don't know why you would say that about us,

but I really liked Mr. Lee and I'm still not over him.

I can't accept your feelings for me

when I have feelings for someone else.

You and I should stay as good friends.

-Dan-dan. -I'm really sorry about this.

I'll get going now.

Mr. Lee,

thank you for seeing me at this late hour.

Ms. Park, what is it that you needed to ask?

Mr. Lee, who is that woman you were with today?

Who is she to you?

Why was she linking arms with you?

Why do you need to know that?

Mr. Lee,

why do you let some random woman link arms with you?

Tell me who she is.

She's not some random woman.

She's someone I'm dating.

You're dating her?

That's right.

We're similar in age and we have a similar background.

I'm considering a serious relationship with her.

So Ms. Park,

I hope you find someone who suits you too.

Mr. Lee, are you kidding me?

You're dating her

because you two are similar in age and background?

Not because you like her?

Someone asked me to go out with him,

but I turned him down

because I still have feelings for you.

Being with someone while you still like another

is a cruel thing to do.

Did you come all this way to tell me that?

Yes.

Mr. Lee. You only agreed to date her

so that I could move on, right?

Let me tell you that it's wrong.

Dating another woman while you still like me?

You're not being fair to her.

-Ms. Park. -Yes?

Say whatever you need to say.

This is my life to manage.

It sounds like you're done,

so I'll head back.

Please get home safely.

Let me be clear!

Things won't work between you two because you still like me!

Just wait and see. You'll realize I'm right!

Have they all been lying to me?

Ms. Shin,

how long have you known?

Why was I the only one in the dark?

Did you keep this from me

so that you could welcome Jun-o as your grandson-in-law?

Yeon-sil, is that it?

No, of course not.

Like we said, we only found out yesterday.

Then you should've told me immediately.

Why didn't you?

I wanted them to break it off before you found out.

But Jun-o was adamant about staying together,

so what could I do?

He said that even though they're in-laws,

it's not illegal for him and Mi-rim to be together.

What?

Did my Jun-o say that?

That's right. My mom heard it too.

I can never allow this relationship.

Of course. It makes no sense.

We can't allow it either.

Double in-laws shouldn't be allowed.

It can't happen.

Absolutely. Please talk to Jun-o and have him break up with Mi-rim.

Right. Yes. That's what I'll do.

What did I just hear?

What is this about Jun-o and Mi-rim?

I guess you didn't know either.

Soo-chul, this is bad.

Mi-rim and Jun-o have been living together without us knowing.

What?

Living together?

Yes.

No, don't stop me!

Yong-pil, I don't know what this is about,

but something must've happened in that family again.

It seems serious.

Right. What could this be about?

That family won't do.

I considered Dan-dan as a good match for Hyeon-bin

since she's pretty and all,

but I'm not so sure anymore.

Why is it never quiet over there?

If Hyeon-bin marries into that family,

he won't survive a single day.

Why worry about her family

when we can just add her to ours?

Don't you have anything better to worry about?

Jun-o, Mi-rim,

how could you live together without asking permission?

Jun-o, you tell me. Where is this headed?

We started to date way before you and my mother reunited.

And I don't think it was wrong to live together.

-Jun-o, you brat-- -Mi-sook, hold on.

Living with someone you like isn't wrong.

What's wrong is living with someone you don't like.

We did nothing wrong.

Mi-rim and I will stay together.

-My gosh. -So don't judge us

based on your standards.

I'm an adult now,

and I don't need permission to move out.

I can even get married if I want.

So you're saying you did nothing wrong?

You're too young to make such decisions!

How could you do such a thing?

Mom.

We comforted and supported each other when things were tough.

I don't want you to belittle our relationship.

I know you are our elders in the family,

but you have no right to criticize us.

-Mi-rim, let's go. -What? Hey.

-Wait, Jun-o. -We should get going.

-What? Wait. Jun-o. -Mi-rim.

What is going on?

-My goodness. -Gosh.

Soo-chul, what's with Jun-o?

It's not like him at all.

Gosh. Now I can tell

it's Jun-o who seduced Mi-rim.

-What? -Right?

What do I do about Mi-rim?

Now that it has come to this,

Jun-o should take responsibility for Mi-rim.

Gosh, Ms. Shin.

Take responsibility?

No one says stuff like that these days.

This isn't the Joseon Dynasty.

Just because they live together,

it doesn't mean that he has to take responsibility.

I mean, does that make sense?

Of course, it does.

Because of Jun-o, Mi-rim's chances of getting married are now lost.

They are living together.

We have to make them register their marriage as soon as possible.

My goodness. Did you say marriage?

How could you say such a horrible thing?

Do you think I raised my son so dearly

to let him end up with a girl like that?

My Jun-o is going to be a doctor.

They say you have to offer at least three houses

to have a doctor as your son-in-law.

Don't you dare dream about stealing him.

My goodness. How could you say such a thing?

-Mom. -Mi-rim is

my dear granddaughter.

How could you be this mean?

Mi-rim

is a poor thing who lost both her parents

in a car accident.

You can't do this to her.

Do you have any idea how sweet she is?

I may not have been able to give her expensive things,

but I've also raised her with all my love.

My gosh. I can't believe this.

What is all this?

Soo-chul. What is going on?

How would we possibly become in-laws?

I was fixing up the house next to mine

to have you guys move in.

But I don't think I can see you for the time being.

I can't believe this is happening.

-Mi-sook. Wait. -Forget it.

-Mi-sook. -Mi-sook.

-Mi-sook. -Well… Mom.

What did Mi-sook just say?

The house next to hers?

What do we do now? Mi-rim ruined everything.

Because of her, we can't move into Mi-sook's house.

How could you even say that? Does that really matter now?

Didn't you see how she looks down on Mi-rim?

I can never let it happen.

My goodness.

Why did Ms. Yeoju not cook any meat?

This is so annoying.

Gosh, I was starving to death.

This is so tasty.

What is this?

Did someone eat bibimbap last night?

Hang on.

No one in this house would eat bibimbap from a big bowl like this.

This is really strange.

And there isn't a single grain of rice left.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Lee.

Well… Mr. Lee.

Did you perhaps have some bibimbap last night?

Pardon?

Never mind. It's nothing.

He wouldn't do such a thing.

Oh, right.

When Jae-ni and Se-chan went to Ms. Park's place,

they said they enjoyed bibimbap.

Did the kids eat it?

Excuse me. What's going on here? What about the people who lived here?

I don't know. It's unoccupied, so we're doing renovations.

What? It's unoccupied?

Yes. No one lives here.

All right.

The number you dialed does not exist.

Please check--

Hello.

I was wondering if Ms. Jo Sa-ra had come by recently.

Jo Sa-ra?

No, she hasn't.

She stopped working here quite a while ago.

I see.

Thank you.

SEOUL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

Thank you for coming.

Mom.

Why did you do it?

I did stupid things

just because I wanted to live with Se-jong.

But what made you do such a ridiculous thing?

I felt bad.

Because I felt bad for you.

What?

What do you mean?

You devoted your youth to working for that family.

But how could they kick you out just like that?

It was unfair. I did it because I was so upset!

And then…

Mi-sook told us to move out.

So I went to Dae-ran

who had a safe full of gold bars.

I asked her to lend me 200 million won.

She said that she didn't have that kind of money.

So I totally lost my mind.

Sa-ra.

I must've been out of my mind.

I'm sorry, Sa-ra.

This is all my fault.

Mom.

This is

the last time I come to see you.

Sa-ra.

Mom, don't look for me

even after

your release.

Sa-ra, what are you saying?

Mom.

You're ashamed of me,

and I'm ashamed of you.

So…

we should part ways and move on with our lives.

I actually came here

to tell you that for the last time.

I should get going.

Take care.

Sa-ra.

Sa-ra…

Sa-ra, I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I really am.

This is all my fault, Sa-ra.

Sa-ra, I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry…

Oh, dear.

What should we do about Mi-rim?

Mom, what she and Jun-o said

is completely right.

They want to be together.

Why should we stop them?

That's what I think.

It's not like they'll get married right away.

I worry about Jun-o's mom.

If they're to break up,

Mi-rim will have it worse.

It's still a rough world for women.

If I can be born again, I want to be born in France.

There, women face no disadvantages for living with a man.

You want to be born again? My gosh.

Where did Soo-chul go, though?

Hey, where did your dad go?

He called me earlier.

He said something came up.

What does he have to do at this hour?

-Okay. -I'm off to make a delivery.

See you.

He's been out often these days.

Why do I feel so uneasy?

TREATMENT ROOM

We're done.

Thank you.

What's this?

Ginger tea. Try it.

It's good for your immune system.

There's honey in it too.

How is it?

It's good.

Don't change your mind now.

The doctor said it's down to how determined you are.

Be strong.

You got tested today,

so if they say you can have surgery, do it.

Okay?

Okay.

You must eat well before the surgery.

I'll stay with you like I did last time.

Trust me and do as I say.

What if

your wife finds out?

She'll throw a fit.

I'll deal with her. Don't worry.

She'll understand if she hears you're sick.

She's not that coldhearted.

Finish your tea.

Hi, Se-chan.

Ms. Park, I'm really upset.

Why? What's wrong?

Dad must've made a new girlfriend.

What?

When you came for the interview,

I thought that you'd come back.

But Dad said you won't come back.

It must be because he has a new girlfriend.

He said he'd introduce her to us

at the place where we had pasta last time.

Ms. Park. I really don't want to go.

Even if Dad has a new girlfriend

and we have a new tutor,

I won't ever forget you.

I won't betray you.

Okay. Thanks, Se-chan.

Ms. Park. Even if it's just Se-jong and me,

can we see you away from home?

Yes, let's do that.

Greet her politely when she comes.

Hey.

You're here.

This is Ms. An Ji-min.

Hi, kids.

This is my eldest, Jae-ni,

my second, Se-chan, and my youngest, Se-jong.

Kids, say hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

I ordered what the kids like.

That's fine.

Dad, how about a toast to celebrate our meeting?

Shall we?

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Have some of this. -Thanks.

How old are you?

I'm 12.

Excuse me for a bit.

Where did you go, Dad?

I had to take care of something really quick,

so I made a call.

Your kids are really quiet. They're usually mischievous at this age.

It's not because you don't like me, is it?

I really put a lot of effort into my look today.

It's not that. It's a bit awkward, that's all.

Right?

Did the kids get home safely?

Yes. I just dropped them off.

You had something to say?

Ji-min.

To be honest, I liked someone,

and I'm not yet over her.

I don't think it's right for me to date you like this.

I'm sorry.

Now that you said that,

I feel a lot better.

I was a bit flustered when I saw the kids.

Of course, I knew you had three kids,

but actually seeing them in person was very different from what I'd imagined.

So I was going to tell you

that I'm not brave enough to do this.

Were you?

Yes.

But after what you said,

I feel less guilty.

You don't have to feel bad.

Anyway, it was great seeing you again, Ji-min.

It was for me too.

I really hope you find someone nice.

Thanks a lot.

Do you realize what you did by coming over just now?

Se-chan and Se-jong

were just getting used to your absence and finally moving on.

But you showed up out of the blue and shook them up.

So they're having a hard time again.

Se-jong's separation anxiety was just getting better.

How could you do this?

Cheers.

It's me.

I came

because I had one last thing to say.

Go ahead.

Mr. Lee.

You believe

that being with you

caused me a lot of pain and heartache.

You broke up with me because you felt bad

and told me to be with someone that everyone would accept.

But you're wrong.

Yes, I went through pain and suffering,

and I had to bear with people's criticism,

but I was happy just to have you by my side.

I wasn't scared because you were there for me.

That's why all my struggles were bearable.

-Ms. Park… -Mr. Lee.

You should know

that the one who gave me the biggest pain

is you.

My heart suffered the biggest blow

not from anyone or anything else,

but from you.

Because you don't understand a thing

about me and how I feel,

my heart aches so much.

It's because of you.

So I'm no longer interested in you

because you give me so much pain.

Goodbye.

If we get back together, the same thing will happen.

People's prejudice,

your father's objection, Jae-ni's objection…

We were left with nothing but scars.

Even so,

I want to be with you.

My heart suffered the biggest blow

not from anyone or anything else,

but from you.

Because you don't understand a thing

about me and how I feel.

My heart aches so much

because of you.

So I'm no longer interested in you

because you give me so much pain.

Why did he have to fall for a woman whom everyone disapproves of?

He has three kids.

It'll be difficult for him to meet someone who truly likes him.

-What do you think you're doing? -Sa-ra.

-Take it back. I'm not a beggar. -You should think about your baby.

I don't want to receive this kind of help from you.

Where's your dad?

He'll be late. He has business to attend to.

Did she not go to the US?

Why is he with her?

Are they back together?

Darn, I'm starving. What could be in the fridge today?

It's me. I'm not a ghost.

I came because

the thought of not having you in my life terrified me.

Let's never break up again.

Mr. Lee…

PARK DAN-DAN, PLEASE ACCEPT MY LOVE
