Episode 45

I'm afraid of my fate.

How could this happen?

Only a few days after Gang-suk's recovery...

It's as if someone's playing tricks on their love.

You should get your arm treated.

Her surgery is going to take some time.

Let's go and get your arm treated.

I'm all right.

All right? Your arm's still bleeding.

Grandpa.

I'll go and pray to Great-grandpa again.

He'll save Aunt Dan-ah's life.

Go ahead.

Do you need something?

No, I'm just going to Great-grandpa's room.

I'm going to pray for Aunt Dan-ah.

Grandpa saved Uncle's life,

so he'll save Aunt Dan-ah too.

I'm sure he'll grant your wish, Dong-dong.

This is crazy.

How could this happen to her just before the wedding?

She got stabbed in the lungs...

Keep your mouth shut.

I thought I was unfortunate, but compared to Dan-ah...

I said keep your mouth shut.

Don't you talk about fortune so lightly.

Great-grandpa.

You'll grant my wish again, right?

If I pray for Aunt Dan-ah,

you'll save her like you saved Uncle, right?

Please save Aunt Dan-ah.

Grandma, what if Aunt passes away?

Don't worry, Dong-dong.

Grandpa will answer your prayer.

How's her condition?

Please wait.

Get a grip, you stupid woman.

Forget a cruel god who'd negotiate with a person's life.

How can you be so merciless?

Did I really deserve to get punished for what I said?

Go to the room and sleep.

I wasn't asleep.

Gang-suk's not home yet?

No.

It's already past midnight.

He'll be home soon.

He wouldn't be sleeping over at Professor Ha's, right?

There's nothing wrong with that.

They're getting married soon.

That family's so shameless.

Just let him be.

I won't let him sleep over at their house.

Why isn't he picking up?

Your phone.

You have a call.

Yes.

Why aren't you home?

Are they shameless enough to let you sleep over?

You can't do this.

What?

An accident?

What accident?

Did you get hurt again?

Did you say he had an accident?

Tell me what's going on.

Professor Ha got stabbed.

Hello.

What happened?

Can you tell me what happened?

She got stabbed in the lungs.

We don't know anything else.

She has such terrible luck.

How can you say that?

Are you saying her luck had anything to do with this?

That's...

I'm just shocked...

I apologize on her behalf. She's really startled.

Don't mention such nonsense again.

Was it Kim Sun-tae who did this?

Yes.

That punk.

After he kidnapped our Hye-joo...

Gang-suk! Your arm...

You're hurt.

I'm all right.

You're bleeding.

If it's not a serious wound,

stay here until her surgery is over.

Honey.

That wound won't kill him.

He can't go anywhere while she's in critical condition.

My lady.

Please let this be the last hump Dan-ah has to get over.

Grandmother.

Can you teach us how to pray?

We'd like to join you, but we don't know how.

Pray with your hearts to the ancestors who protect this family.

Take him to his room.

He insisted on staying in this room.

Brother.

Dan-ah will be fine.

With Dong-dong praying so hard for her,

she'll recover.

Of course.

It was a serious wound to her lungs,

but the surgery went well.

Has she regained consciousness?

She will soon.

Dan-ah.

Only one guardian is allowed to be in here.

Let's go.

Let Director Lee stay by her side.

I'm sorry you're going through so much because of me.

She'll regain consciousness by tomorrow morning.

I have to go pray to Great-grandpa.

Dan-ah's doing fine now.

Your prayer saved her life.

Is she really doing okay?

Yes.

Soo-young and Tae-young will come back after Dan-ah awakens.

Getting stabbed in the lungs won't have side effects?

The surgery went well, so we hope not.

That's good to hear.

Did you report it to the police?

Yes, as soon as we got to the hospital.

That man wouldn't try anything funny again, right?

I heard he has a grudge against Director Lee.

You should head back.

She'll recover soon, so please don't worry.

We don't want you to faint again.

I can't relax with Kim Sun-tae still on the loose.

Stay by Gang-suk's side and protect him.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

How did it go?

The surgery went well.

What terrible fortune she has.

Aunt, maybe you shouldn't let her marry into our family.

What does fortune have to do with anything?

What's gotten into you?

She almost lost her life because of my son.

Unlucky or not, I'll think of her as my own child.

This is exactly why I love you.

You have the guts to take a step back at the right time.

We should've made Gang-suk get his arm treated.

His brothers-in-law will do that.

Let's get your arm treated now.

I'll wait until she comes to.

Stop being so stubborn.

This is going to sting.

This is a big wound.

Are you dizzy?

- Brother. - Yes.

I'm sorry.

Don't blame yourself.

It's that crazy punk's fault.

My past deeds came back to haunt me.

Brother.

Is this it?

Is he the only one who has a grudge against me?

What are you saying?

I'm afraid of the bridges I burned.

I don't want her to suffer because of my past ways.

Dan-ah.

Can you recognize us?

I'm sorry.

That's all I ever say to you.

She's conscious now.

I heard Gang-suk was injured too.

He got his arm treated. He'll be just fine.

That's a relief.

He's blaming himself for this accident.

He said he's afraid of the bridges he's burned.

Gang-suk.

Please refrain from talking.

Please let her rest.

It'll be painful for her to talk.

Gang...

Don't say anything.

I'm sorry.

Stop talking.

I'm sorry I scared you.

You're so stubborn.

Enjoy.

You want to work here again?

Dan-ah got hurt.

The guy who kidnapped me stabbed her...

I thought you should know.

She was in surgery, and she's recovering now.

Go to her.

Why should I?

He'll be by her side.

I'm sorry you had to go through this because of him.

But at least it was for the person you love.

I promise you.

I'll never talk about your fortune again.

I'd be crazy to talk about it after what you've gone through.

She must've come to her senses by now.

You're my daughter from now on.

Mrs. Ha.

Yes.

May I have a word with you after your visit?

I'm sorry.

Please refrain from talking.

Don't say anything.

Let's look on the bright side.

You're going though this to be loved even more by Gang-suk.

Mrs. Ha.

Yes.

About the gift list I gave you last time.

Can we cancel it?

What do you mean?

I have no right to accept gifts

after what she's gone through for my son.

Gang-suk.

Yes, Grandfather.

I heard you're blaming yourself for this incident.

I'm sorry.

Parents will always worry about their children.

Their hearts drop over little things.

Maybe a man and a woman in love feel the same way.

When their love for each other develops,

they worry about each other as parents do for their children.

If you love each other the way parents do for their children,

then your love is brought to a whole new level.

Your current regret is one step towards getting you there.

How's your arm?

It's fine.

You bled a lot.

Stop making me feel terrible.

Move your arm.

There.

That'll do.

Don't copy my speech.

That'll do.

Why are you trying to make me laugh in your condition?

I'm just naturally funny.

Save it for later and stop talking already.

You're so chatty.

She wants to call off the wedding gifts.

What?

She didn't feel right accepting gifts after what

Dan-ah went through for her son.

It was an unpleasant accident,

but I'm glad it changed the way Mrs. Lee treats Dan-ah.

I'm still preparing the gifts.

I thought she wanted to forget about the gifts.

I already bought them, and I'm not upset with her anymore.

Since she changed her attitude, I can't complain anymore.

You can be so capricious.

I don't have to worry about Dan-ah being mistreated.

I'm relieved now.

Enjoy.

Go to work already.

I'm only trying to do what you've done for me.

How many days has it been?

Your brothers said they'd cover for me.

Should you even be paid when you're slacking so much?

I don't mind a pay cut.

Dan-ah.

You skipped work again?

How can I go to work with her in this condition?

Your devotion is touching,

but an executive shouldn't skip work to be with his girlfriend.

- Grandmother. - What is it?

You're jealous.

What?

You're just jealous because you don't have a boyfriend.

Hey. I'm your future wife's grandmother.

You shouldn't look down on me.

He doesn't look down on you.

He's just being affable.

No, he does look down on me.

He thinks I'm silly because I kept saying

how handsome he was the first time we met.

Well, you did look silly.

Grandma.

Does it still hurt whenever you talk?

Not as much.

That's because he's taking such good care of you.

Thank you.

But she still nags me for not going to work.

- Dan-ah. - Yes.

I'm worried you two will grow weary of each other soon.

You two spend too much time together.

That's true.

Don't agree with her nonsense.

I told you not to follow me.

Kim Sun-tae could show up anytime.

Don't follow me,

but guard the room whenever I'm not there.

- Understand? - Yes.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

I'll be here, so go get some rest.

No.

You must be tired. Go on.

I'll stay.

Listen to me.

I'll be back in the morning.

Okay.

Why take them out after all that money you spent?

If these had any effect,

Professor Ha shouldn't have had an accident.

You're really growing up now.

I think it's all in the mind.

I even thought about having an exorcism for her fortune,

but after what she's gone through for Gang-suk,

I feel they were meant to be.

You weren't asleep?

No.

Are you still seeing him?

I mean Hyun-gyu.

I think you two are meant to be as well.

I had the feeling that he was meant to be

my son-in-law the first time I saw him.

But there's been no progress.

He came back to pick up the watch,

so he might have some feelings for Hye-joo.

You're such a terrible girl.

You want to leave, just when I'm giving you another look?

Do whatever you want.

You're the one who liked me first anyway.

I reinstalled the program,

so it'll be easier to work on your dissertation.

Thanks.

I'm going.

Hyun-gyu.

Pay Professor Ha a visit.

It seems like you're holding back.

You must want to see her.

There's nothing wrong with visiting your professor.

I'm not holding back.

It's strange.

I just don't feel as attached to her as I was before.

I knew you were cool, but you're really swell.

Congratulations on getting over your heartbreak.

It was one-sided to begin with.

I heard Professor Ha's a lot better.

Yes.

You know why I didn't visit her?

It's not because it hurts me to see her.

It's because I don't want you to feel bad about me facing her.

Boss offered to hire someone to replace you,

but I refused.

I said I could handle it by myself.

Just in case you come back, I don't want another coworker.

Don't be so tense.

Are you worried it might happen again?

It won't. So stop worrying.

I feel bad seeing you so worried.

You can't even go to work because you're worried.

Don't worry.

Nothing bad will happen to us anymore.

I can't relax.

I'm afraid he might be watching us.

Then we won't be able to live our lives.

We have to go forward no matter how strong the winds get.

Is he that police officer who looks like Jang Dong-gun?

Tae-young!

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

What's your problem?

He's my husband.

Sorry?

What the heck was that about?

How was I supposed to know who he was?

You can't just punch someone out of the blue.

Why were you hugging him?

He was thankful I got him a job after he got out of prison.

He didn't have to hug you.

He's even younger than my youngest brother.

He's still a guy, nonetheless.

Do you have delusions of infidelity?

You have delusions of infidelity?

Grandma.

Tae-young has delusions of infidelity.

You're talking nonsense again.

They're going at it.

Not everyone's had a dirty life like you.

What? You're really pushing it.

You started it.

You thought I was cheating on you.

Who in her right mind would cheat as soon as

she got married?

It doesn't change the fact that you made a mistake.

What mistake?

The mistake of being a married woman

who hugged a young guy on the street in broad daylight.

What's your problem?

Like you've never hugged someone out of gratefulness?

Never.

You're unreasonable.

I am not.

You have a serious problem.

Grateful or not, if a man tried to hug you,

you should've tried to stop him.

He's just a young kid, and it happened so fast.

That's enough.

What's going on, Dong-dong?

Welcome home.

Your mom and dad are fighting again?

Aunt Jin-ah, please come here.

Why are you calling her?

Yes, Dong-dong?

How can you be so different although

you got married on the same day?

What's the point of writing letters of apology

when you don't change your stupid ways?

That's not a very polite thing for a son to tell his parents.

You two really worry me to death.

Who'd stop you two if it weren't for me?

What are you laughing at?

Dong-dong's so cute.

We shouldn't ever fight.

Why would we fight?

Besides, they were just having a tiff for kicks.

We don't have a child to stop us, so let's not fight.

Okay, we won't fight.

What should we do?

I'm all right, but you'll always feel lonely.

I've brought some sweets. Please try some.

How pretty.

They look so nice that I don't want to eat them.

Please go ahead and try them.

And tell us some interesting stories.

I don't know any stories.

There must be at least one interesting story in every family.

If you put it that way, then every family's got a story.

We're researching the Jangsaeng Ha family.

Do you know something about that family?

I don't.

Is it because you know the reason behind the family's fall?

Is it about the firstborn who gambled with the family house?

You know a lot.

We did some research.

Everyone knows that story, so what are you trying to hide?

It's not that.

Then what is it?

It's a matter of whether that family will fall or not.

Please don't come here anymore.

You're going to exchange clothes at this hour?

I'll just have to keep trying until I find something I like.

You've been going out so often to try to exchange that outfit.

Get a refund.

They don't do refunds.

Where are you going?

To exchange clothes.

What?

She almost never goes out of the house.

What's gotten into her recently?

She's addicted to shopping.

You're embroidering again?

I'm making something for Dan-ah's wedding guests.

I don't know if I'll finish them in time.

- Grandma. - Yes.

Has it been over sixty years you've lived with our family?

I suppose so. Why do you ask?

Do you know if our family has any deep, dark secrets?

What do you mean?

Maybe there's a scandalous family secret.

What?

Did you hear any rumors about our family?

No.

Every family's got a skeleton in their closet, right?

Not that I know of.

He must have delusions of infidelity.

I think his suspicious nature is a result of the way he's lived.

Miss Jo-man.

To be honest, I really don't understand guys who cheat.

I just don't see why they'd do that.

If you love someone, then your heart's filled with that person.

How could you look at someone else?

That's disgusting.

You have good values.

I don't jaywalk, even when there are no cars around.

That's really hard not to do.

You're very different.

Where have you been all my life?

Ditto.

I never thought I'd meet my dream girl like this.

I didn't think such a girl existed.

Likewise.

I never imagined I'd meet the perfect man given my tragic fate.

Miss Jo-man.

What are you doing, Jo-man?

Tae-young.

Officer Lee, what are you doing?

You're dating him.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did you buy the papers?

How can he ask for a fifty-page letter of apology?

Right.

Fifty pages are no joke.

Jo-man and Officer Lee are dating.

What did you say?

Which one do you like?

I like this one.

What do you think, Gang-suk?

I love it.

He's such a fool.

He likes anything that you like.

Mother, I'm not a fool.

There's no speculation that you're a fool.

Father.

I think we have similar taste.

I like this one too because it's very refined.

Let's look at the curtains.

Let's leave the women alone.

We'll go get some air.

I hired security for additional protection.

Actually, I was thinking of suggesting that.

Jin-woo won't be able to follow her around all the time.

I can't let down my guard until they catch that punk.

Things have worked out for the best, though.

Your mom's much nicer to Professor Ha now.

I guess that's the saving grace of this whole ruckus.

You're home.

Yes, Grandma.

Mr. Chairman, Dan-ah's home.

You're okay, Dan-ah?

Dan-ah!

Dong-dong.

She's not fully recovered yet.

Don't hug her too hard.

Really?

No, I'm okay now.

Go greet Grandfather first.

I'm sorry I made you worry.

Welcome home.

Thank you for tending to her.

Go get some rest.

You look so frail now.

You can't look like that for your wedding.

Go on.

- Gang-suk. - Yes.

Want to see Dan-ah's room?

Rejoicing in your epiphany?

You finally got what you wanted.

Have a seat. I'll bring the tea.

Sit down.

Let me rejoice in my epiphany.

Sit down.

The room isn't going to disappear.

Your room reflects you.

It's charming and prim.

Your room reflects you as well.

It's boring and moody.

How dare you call me moody?

I'm such a cutie pie.

Don't try anything funny, Gang-suk.

What are you doing outside?

I'm watching your every move!

Dan-ah, slap him if he tries anything funny!

You're such trouble.

It's fun to tease him.

You pervert. Come here.

Stay for dinner. It's almost ready.

Why am I being nice to you out of the blue?

Yes.

I don't want to feed you after what you put Dan-ah through,

but I have no choice.

You're my son-in-law nonetheless.

Thank you.

We'll set a new date after she fully recovers.

Don't ask me to set it before she's recovered.

I won't.

Mother.

Yes.

I've recovered now.

Are you asking me to set a date soon?

Yes. Aren't I shameless?

Hello?

Is everything okay?

What's up?

Where are you?

I'm at work.

You're still working?

You must be tired.

Does your wound ache?

It's better.

Gang-suk.

Yes?

We got over every obstacle we encountered.

Even if there were more, they wouldn't scare me.

I think I know why this happened to us.

It was to remind me of what you mean to me.

When I was stabbed and was losing consciousness,

your voice screaming my name started to fade away.

I realized something then.

That I wasn't going to die.

I knew I'd make it through just to tell you

that I was still by your side.

That's how I survived, and I'm not going anywhere.

So don't worry.

I'll be by your side,

so I can answer you when you call my name.

I have to get back to work.

Get some rest.

Call me when you get home.

Okay.

Excuse me.

I'll escort you.

Why aren't you picking up?

I was in a meeting.

I don't need personal security.

I asked him to leave, but he wouldn't.

Can you call him and ask him to leave?

I don't feel easy leaving you alone.

I know his face.

I won't let him hurt me again.

So call off the security.

I have to go to the site.

I took too much time off work to look after you.

I'll see you after I finish work.

Gang-suk.

Just deal with it.

You never know.

He tried to kill you, and he's still on the loose.

Gang-suk wouldn't take any chances.

Call him off starting tomorrow, okay?

Grandfather.

I have something to say.

I can't marry her anytime soon.

Is it because you're worried about her safety?

Yes, Grandfather.

I'd be selfish to proceed with the wedding while

Kim Sun-tae is still on the loose.

She'd be more prone to be his target than I am.

He's bent on doing whatever he can to hurt me.

Then we'll have to wait until he's captured.

Yes, Grandfather.

That's the only way to protect her.

If that's what you want, then I understand.

I heard what you said.

I understand how you feel.

That's the right way to go about this.

Please wait for me outside.

Let's just do as I said.

We need to have a talk.

Why'd you tell Grandfather even before consulting me?

Because I know how stubborn you are.

I'm just as worried about you.

He tried to stab you, not me.

When you're not next to me, I worry.

I'm a guy.

I'm not as vulnerable as you are.

Nothing bad is going to happen.

How can you guarantee that?

I just know.

He even ran away after he stabbed me.

Only because he panicked.

Don't you think he's just like us?

He did something terrible because he was cornered,

but he probably feels some remorse about what he's done.

As you said, he was cornered.

Even a cornered rat fights back.

So you'd run away?

I wouldn't.

Stop being stubborn.

No matter what happens, let's stay together.

We got through everything to get here.

I'm afraid something might happen to you again.

Same here.

I'm afraid that something might happen to you again.

That's why I need to stay by your side.

I'm going to fall sick if I can't get married right now.

I'm afraid of bringing you into my life.

I think the treatment worked.

I'm proud of you.

You're not scared of the consequences

of marrying me?

Right here.

There are students around.

I heard about your PDA.

Mal-soon's brother-in-law caused some trouble.

Tae-young's in trouble because of me.

I wonder if Professor Ha knows how to play go-stop?

Who makes their daughter-in-law learn go-stop?

Please buy the wedding box!

She's leaving this house today.
