Episode 43

Miss Lee Hye-joo.

Who are you?

Keep your mouth shut.

I wanted to see you.

Watch the store for me.

Where are you going?

Spare me.

Please don't hurt me.

Don't hurt me.

Please let me go.

Please follow that car.

Please spare me.

I didn't say I'd kill you.

Mister, don't lose that car.

Yes, sir.

I don't see him anymore.

This road has a lot of twists and turns.

Please look carefully.

Please spare me.

I want to.

I'm not a murderer.

Open your mouth.

Now.

It's best to sleep when you're afraid.

Swallow it.

Come on.

You better listen to me and listen good.

I don't like kids who don't listen.

Tell me your home phone number.

Come on.

Hye-joo.

Hye-joo!

What's going on with her?

Hye-joo's still not home?

Her cell phone's off too.

She's on a date, right?

I told her not to stay out overnight.

Who is it?

Mr. Chairman.

You have a phone call.

Who would call at this hour?

He didn't tell me who he was.

He just wanted to talk to you.

Hello?

Is this Chairman Lee Chun-gab?

This is he. Who is this?

I have your precious daughter with me.

I didn't want to make trouble.

But things came down to this.

Who are you?

You decide whether or not your daughter is spared.

Hey.

Prepare 3 million dollars.

I'll call you again with details.

And don't even think about calling the police...

...for the sake of your daughter.

Are you Kim Sun-tae?

I gave Lee Gang-suk an easy way out,

but he forced me to do this.

Let me talk to Hye-joo. I need to know she's safe.

She's safe for now.

She's a lot nicer than your son.

That punk pushed me to the edge.

He jeopardized his sister's life.

You should know better than to push me any further.

I'll call you again.

Mr. Kim Sun-tae.

What's going on, honey?

You woke up sooner than I expected.

Is she your girlfriend?

Two's too many too keep. What should I do?

Let's call the police.

No, don't do it.

He might do something to Hye-joo.

What should we do, honey?

Let's ask Gang-suk.

He'll tell us what to do.

Let's go, honey.

Why aren't you sleeping?

You just don't listen, do you?

Do you want some water?

What brings you here?

We're in trouble.

Mother.

Hye-joo's been kidnapped.

Ask your father to save you.

Mister, please let him go.

He has nothing to do with me.

Please, Mister.

Kid.

I'm not a fool.

My father will give you the money.

So please let him go.

I'll take care of him, so don't worry.

Please spare him.

How nice of you to worry about your boyfriend.

You're very cute.

Stop.

Please stop.

I don't have the strength to deal with youngsters.

So I'll just get rid of him.

Please stop.

I'll tell Father to do everything you want.

Please spare him.

Let's call the police. Give me the phone.

What if he kills Hye-joo?

Let's give him the money.

There's no guarantee he'll spare Hye-joo.

We can't give him any more time.

All he wants is money.

We can't trust him.

If he gets what he wants, he wouldn't hurt Hye-joo.

He's not in his right mind.

Hello?

Lee Gang-suk, your father's not home.

Kim Sun-tae.

What do you think you're doing?

Your sister has something to say.

Father, don't call the police.

Please do anything he asks you.

Please spare me, Father.

You wouldn't want your sister to die, right?

What did he say?

Just give him the money.

Father.

Yes.

Prepare the money.

That'll save Hye-joo, right?

He won't kill Hye-joo just because she's seen his face.

He's crazy about money,

so we'll save Hye-joo in exchange for money.

After she comes back to us, we'll call the police.

We'll do as you say.

It's urgent. I need the money back.

Thanks.

It's not ready yet?

3 million in cash isn't a joke.

What if he calls us right now?

What if he hurts Hye-joo?

I'll go work on the money.

Sit down.

You shouldn't be standing in your condition.

Yes, Gang-suk.

There's nothing we can do. Just relax on the bed.

Hello?

Is the money ready?

We're working on it.

You're not buying time?

It's not easy to get 3 million in cash.

The deadline's ten o'clock tonight.

We'll get the money.

If something happens to Hye-joo,

you won't get a chance to spend that money.

Hye-joo.

Are you all right?

How did you get out?

He saved me.

He was kidnapped too?

Have you captured the suspect?

He wasn't at the scene.

You can't walk around in your condition.

Please go back to your room.

Thank you again.

Thank you for saving our Hye-joo.

Thank you very much.

We should get you a room too.

I'm all right.

I'm actually fine too.

Don't say that. You're injured.

Thank you for saving Hye-joo.

Why are you walking around in your condition?

I had to do something.

What if you injure your wound again?

Shouldn't we visit his sister?

Let's not intrude.

This is a bad time for them.

They've had so many hardships lately.

Keep quiet about this.

Let's not make the elders worry.

We'll pay you a visit tomorrow.

Let's go, Hye-joo.

I'll stay here.

You should get some rest at home.

Go home.

I'll stay.

Okay, since he's your savior, stay here and tend to him.

He's our savior.

He always saves us when things are critical.

It's great that nothing bad happened.

I feel bad that Hye-joo suffered because of me.

Maybe this had to happen for their sake.

Does it hurt a lot?

Just a little.

I'm sorry.

That was my action hero moment.

Thanks for the opportunity, Hye-joo.

We can be a little more informal since we got through this.

I'm a year older than you, so I won't be formal.

Okay.

Do you want me to call you "Brother?"

You consider me family now?

Why are you out here?

You should've gotten a room.

Sister.

Please go see him.

Ask him how he's doing.

He'd appreciate that.

Please do it if just for today.

Thank you.

My life was on the line too, so I scrapped my way out.

Get some rest.

Professor Ha.

I think I crossed that bridge.

Even seeing you doesn't hurt as much as it used to.

Go on. He must be waiting for you.

Lotion.

Get it yourself.

Isn't that your job?

You have hands.

Jin-ah wouldn't be so lazy, you bum.

Darn.

That slipped.

You're not punishing me?

What are you going to do, Dong-dong?

My head hurts.

That's normal. I'd feel like that too.

What's going on?

You don't need to know.

You tell Mom but not me?

Let's let him in on it too.

Can I tell him?

I guess so.

You're so dirty.

You keep your secrets. I'll go sleep in another room.

Dong-dong has a new classmate.

- Her name? - Seo-hyun.

Right. She sits next to Dong-dong, and she's really pretty.

She even let Dong-dong borrow her colored pencils.

You don't have any colored pencils?

I used up the black.

Then let's go buy some more.

That's not the point.

Seo-hyun has big eyes, and she's nice.

So what?

Dong-dong's interested.

But you told Hyun-ji you'd consider her.

That's the problem.

Hyun-ji sensed something and tripped up Dong-dong.

And the jealousy started.

You're already in a love triangle?

That's why my head hurts!

Please don't let her find out.

Okay, go on in.

Good night.

Please prepare the food.

Yes.

It's good to see Director Ha so happy.

He wasn't like that before.

Jo-man's not back yet?

She hasn't come back from going to exchange the clothes

she bought last time.

Stop crying.

You've been crying all day.

But I'm so grateful.

No one's been so nice to me before.

The acupuncture didn't hurt?

No.

If it weren't for you, I would've never known

they could treat tongue with acupuncture.

I searched the web for treatments for lost taste buds.

How did someone with as tragic a fate as me

find someone as nice as you?

You're bringing me to tears.

I had no idea...

...that a man's tears were so beautiful.

I scoffed when I saw guys crying in dramas.

I get that a lot.

I think it's because my eyes seem so pure.

Did you exchange the clothes?

I didn't find anything nice. I'll try again tomorrow.

Are you going out on dates?

Grandma.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Your nose is bleeding.

Why'd you come?

You must've been so tired.

This has happened before.

Don't work as hard as a fool.

You need to take care of yourself better.

You're like a mom.

You're wiping my face like a parent would.

And you're my husband too.

You're a perfect husband for me.

After putting you through so much that you got a nosebleed?

It's not stopping.

It'll stop soon.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

What?

I have a nosebleed.

Wipe it up.

I have a nosebleed.

Wipe it up.

You deserve a beating.

What's going on?

I'm not sure whether I can stay by your side or not.

You're strange.

Do you really like me sleeping that much?

Why aren't you sleeping?

You should be tired after all that's happened.

Why aren't you sleeping?

I'm better, so don't look so worried.

It tears me apart when you make that face.

You're taking a risk here, Dan-ah.

I'm still recovering, but I'm still a man.

Get better soon.

I will, so we can get married soon.

Sorry for waking you up.

Don't be so nice to me.

You went through this because of me.

So don't be nice to me.

I only pulled a blanket over you.

I thought about it.

When I look at you...

You can call me by name.

When I look at you, Hyun-gyu,

I want us to be more than just friends.

At first, I was glad when you said you'd be my friend.

But I can't help but want more.

But I don't think I should.

If I want us to be more than friends,

you'll have to face Professor Ha.

Then you'll be in pain.

I can't do that to my loved one.

Where are you going?

Nowhere.

We found out that the same car was used in your accident,

and in the kidnapping of Miss Hye-joo.

He ran over my son?

The car was found abandoned in a park.

Please catch him.

I'm afraid of what he'll do next.

We've distributed his wanted poster.

Can you stop showing off?

Thanks to you, Mal-soon's nagging me.

What did I do?

You made a fuss about Jin-ah's nosebleed.

How'd you know?

Mal-soon was fussing about it.

Prepare a gift.

A gift?

Get a birthday gift for Jin-ah from the both of you.

It's her birthday?

She sure packed a lot.

My mom...

How was the family meeting?

Your names are in our genealogy.

You include daughters-in-law in the genealogy?

Of course. What are all these?

Mal-soon's mother sent them.

How generous of her.

Tell your mother that I'm grateful.

Yes.

Mom, tell my brother-in-law to not slack off.

You must be down.

Your sister's mother sent gifts.

So you must be feeling sad.

I think I'm too childish. I was envious of her.

It's only natural to feel that way.

But you have a great husband you can rely on.

Yes.

I should make seaweed soup for dinner.

Please show your gifts, everyone.

I prepared one too.

It better not be cheap.

Come on.

Jin-ah.

Yes, Grandfather.

Here you go.

It's a book regarding etiquettes and manners.

It shouldn't be a difficult read.

Happy birthday.

We didn't make seaweed soup for breakfast to surprise you.

Younger son.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Jin-ah.

Happy birthday to you.

Make a wish and blow out the candles.

How could you forget your birthday?

It didn't mean anything to me.

I didn't know my actual birthday,

so I've never really cared.

It's my gift.

Do you like it?

Yes.

I'll make sure you're cared for on your birthdays.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I thought you were the only person I had,

but your family changed my mind.

Give him the most expensive shot.

This is it.

Give him the VIP treatment.

Ask the hospital director for special treatment.

Okay.

Please don't.

I don't really deserve it.

You saved Hye-joo's life.

So...

Why don't we set a date soon?

I'm going.

You're not taking care of him?

Bye.

At least stay by his side for a few days.

Look at your sister-in-law.

She's like a stone.

- I'm hurt. - What?

You visited him before me.

You're almost on the way out, and he just got hospitalized.

I'll wait in the car.

Meanie.

You don't even ask me how I'm doing today?

How are you doing today?

I'm sorry I asked.

You asked for it.

What's wrong with her?

I think they have something going on.

But she's fervently denying it.

Is that what other kids do?

Yes, just leave them alone.

But I'm glad he's good son-in-law material.

I feel the same way.

I thought our Gang-suk was handsome,

but that boy'd give him a run for his money.

He's taller than Gang-suk.

He seems to be.

I don't feel cared for.

Don't be pathetic.

Aren't you tired?

You look weary.

At least take some time to look in the mirror.

It's not like you didn't look miserable before.

Let's go.

Have them give her a shot before she faints.

Okay.

Please go home today.

You look really worn out.

No.

You're so stubborn.

I'll stay by your side for as long as I can.

You went through all that?

How dramatic.

Where's Hye-joo?

Shouldn't she be taking care of you?

Go back in. It's chilly.

I want to get some air.

It's strange.

Others get married easily, but we have to deal with

so many bumps in the road.

And there's always one after another.

We're confident of our love without these obstacles.

The heavens must be punishing me for my former cruel ways.

Do you believe in such things,

that someone or something is in charge of our fate?

I didn't believe it before I met you.

But after I met you, I changed my mind.

There must be a force that brought us together.

Nietzsche,

who never loved anyone before meeting Lou Salome,

said, "From which stars have we fallen to meet each other?"

When I read that, I scoffed that love

made a rational man say something like that.

From which stars have we fallen to meet each other?

I'm sorry to make you worry.

Are you all better?

Yes, thank you for your concern.

I'm glad.

Grandfather, please set a date as soon as possible.

Tomorrow's fine too.

It's not that easy.

We'll need some time to reserve a place.

I don't mind doing it anywhere.

We don't want that for our daughter.

Let's set a date as soon as possible.

Thank you, Grandfather.

Welcome.

You can't deny it anymore.

Stop that.

I asked him to come so we could treat him to a meal.

You even look handsome eating.

Is there anything you don't eat?

No, I can eat everything.

That's manly. I like him.

Why are you going to your room?

What's her problem?

She's just embarrassed.

Let me ask you this, man-to-man.

What's your relationship with Hye-joo?

We're dying to know.

We're friends.

That's all?

Yes.

Housekeeper.

Take his tea and Hye-joo's upstairs.

Why send him upstairs if they're just friends?

So they can spark something.

Honey.

Hye-joo needs someone reliable like him to take care of her.

He's a good match for her.

But they're just friends.

Put them together, and something might happen.

Hye-joo. Have tea with the guest.

Come out.

Come out.

You didn't even come to work.

And you didn't answer my calls.

I quit work. And that guy took my cell phone.

I see.

You didn't buy a new one?

No.

How do I call you?

Why'd you come?

Was I supposed to refuse when an elder asked me to?

I won't bother you again.

Did you harden your mind again,

like the time when you said you'd get married?

Bye.

What brings you here?

Your parents asked me over for a meal.

Sorry.

I hadn't seen Hye-joo for a few days.

Your parents visited me every day, but not Hye-joo.

And she didn't come to work.

So you came to check up on her?

Professor Ha told Professor Nam once that

she was afraid her heart could be swayed.

When I saw Hye-joo beg our captor for my life,

I wondered what she meant to me.

So I'm searching my heart.

Goodbye.

I ran into Hyun-gyu outside.

He's starting to like you a little.

He's not.

He's a nice person.

He's just trying to not hurt my feelings.

I don't want to burden him.

That's what you think.

Good night.

Hyun-gyu's trying to open up to her,

but Hye-joo's acting weird now.

She considers him more than she does herself.

I love you more than I love myself too.

But I don't act strange.

Is that right? Scratch that.

Looking back on the things I'd have never done,

I can't believe how lame I turned out.

But you still haven't changed at all.

You still tease me the way you used to.

I'm not the person I used to be.

Whatever.

You didn't even help me

when I asked that we change the wedding date.

I'm afraid.

I've never been afraid of life before.

But I'm afraid now.

It's because of my accident, right?

That'll never happen again. So don't worry.

Remember my promise?

I won't pass away before you.

Grandma.

You weren't sleeping?

You were praying?

I was asking your grandmother to console you.

Dan-ah.

Forget you said you'd never see him again.

He was saved because of your good heart.

Don't think about it the wrong way.

I know I might be doing the wrong thing.

But if I break my promise not to see you again,

I'm afraid of what might happen.

I know you won't understand my decision,

but I have to do this.

But I'm relieved that you'll be alive,

and we'll be living under the same sky.

That's enough for me.

Dan-ah, what's going on?

You asked the dean to send you to China?

What about your wedding?

I want to leave for a year.

You're going to China?

Yes.

What about our wedding?

Let's think about that after I come back.

What are you thinking?

I just want to study. Let me go.

You know I won't let you.

I've been through so much. Let me take a break.

Tell me the real reason.

There's no such thing.

You think I'm that stupid?

You're trying to run away.

What is it?

Did my mother say something about your fate again?

No.

Then what is it?

Just let me go. Please.

Tell me the reason.

I don't have any.

Tell me why you're running away!

I'm afraid of my fate.

I was afraid that you might pass away,

so I prayed to whoever was in charge of my fate.

And I promised that I'd never see you again

if you were spared.

At that moment, you opened your eyes.

I admitted defeat

because I couldn't bear to see my loved one die again.

I promised I'd abide by my fate,

in exchange for your life being spared.

Dan-ah.

Why's your left cheek red?

Gang-suk gave you a hickey?

Dip your feet. Nobody saw me.

What are you doing?

I won't tolerate this crappy treatment.

You want to fight?

Your wife beat you? She must pack a punch.

I don't know why I'm slowly falling for you.

I want to go study abroad.

I'm afraid that he might actually consider me.

She's trying to help you not to face me so often.

Why do you keep coming here?

You're leaving to study abroad?

You're so cruel.

TO BE CONTINUED...
