Because This Is My First Life

Yeah, Ji Ho. I'm here.

Yup, take your time.

Welcome.

You two met first.

You're here?

What is this? You said you and I, the two of us, would eat.

Who should be saying that? You didn't say she'd come.

If I told you beforehand, both of you wouldn't have come out.

But why are you guys sitting side by side?

If we sit across, I'd have to look at her face.

What the heck.

You know what? I...

I called you guys to come to tell you something.

Tell us what?

It's something I must tell you with you both here together.

So first, let's do this.

You each have a glass of water first.

What is it? Did something happen?

What is this? It's making me uneasy. What is it?

You know what, girls?

I . . .

As for the Natural Uni part, we'll calculate it after SU.

- "Marriage Project"
- Any other items for discussion?

Item to do: Tell acquaintances.

Yes, Chief Nam?

At our last company dinner, during the third round,

who all made bets on my sexuality?

What? What bets? Why would we do such a thing?

We quit betting.

Are we such idle folks with nothing to do?

Oh, this is outrageous.

Those who bet on me being homosexual?

That I am heterosexual?

Asexual?

Congratulations, Bo Mi.

I am getting married.

Do what?

Nam, Chief Nam?

What did he say he was going to do?

- He's getting married.
- Getting married?

Everyone, pay up. Fifty bucks.

Here, Chief Nam? Shall we have a quick talk?

By chance, is this because we made bets behind your back, and you are doing this as a way to mess with us?

Is that It? It is, right?

Did you pay the fifty bucks?

Hey. You're getting married? Getting married for real?

Marriage? Wedding? Marriage as in the four rituals of coming of age, marriage, funeral, and ancestral rites?

Yes.

With a woman, this getting married of yours?

Yup.

Stop joking! How can you get married? You're asexual. How can you get married?

You thought I'd believe that? That's a fake marriage, right?

Punk! You can fool someone else, but you can't fool me!

She's pretty.

- Oh, she's pretty?
- Yup.

Very.

So, Se Hee's fallen in love.

Se Hee finally knows love!

You're getting...

Married, you said?

With your landlord?

Is it shocking?

Since when did you guys start to date?

Dating?

As for dating, it's been about one or two months.

Then, you guys started dating since you moved in?

Pretty much.

You started to date then, you said?

Yup, starting then.

But why didn't you tell us?

Last time, you said there's no relationship between you and him.

She did, right?

Yes, she did. Though it was suspicious since you were so adamant.

That's because it hadn't been too long at the time.

I was kind of embarrassed to tell you guys. That's why.

But you're marrying him even though it hasn't been too long?

Yeah. You know...

There are lots of people who marry after only two or three months of knowing each other.

That's other people. Not other people, but Ji Ho, you?

What about me?

I mean, it takes a few months for you to befriend someone.

You're leapfrogging over the introduction straight to marriage, and that's what's weird.

Isn't it weird?

Relationships between people aren't always about how long they've known each other, though.

So what I mean is . . .

Even though the time of knowing each other is short if it's someone you feel that you really need in life—

Need?

Oh.

Need might be a strange word to use on a person.

So what I mean is . . .

I know! I know why you're getting married.

Huh?

Ji Ho, you . . .

fell for him at first sight, huh?

As soon as you met him, you fell for him, right?

You know in the dramas and movies, how you are knocked out at first sight. That's it, right?

Yup, correct.

Correct?

Well, it's like that somehow.

It was seriously like, knocked out at first sight.

So you're suddenly marrying him, too?

Yeah.

I think it's fated.

Omo.

Oh my.

I think it's fated.

You're seriously crazy.

Since you're a drama writer? Here comes an actress!

Let's go. This way.

So were you able to tell the people at your work?

Yes. Coincidentally, we had a meeting with the entire staff, so I was able to resolve it in one go.

What about your colleagues that you thought would be difficult?

That was surprisingly resolved with one go as well,

using the weak nature of male evolution.

What?

What about you, Ji Ho?

Since they are such long-time friends of yours, it might be difficult for them to understand.

Well, mine was also surprisingly in one go...

What method did you use?

Well... fa(te).

Huh?

I was lucky.

I used some strategy in storytelling.

Who would've thought having been a drama writer would come to be helpful in times like this.

I see.

Nam Hee Bong

Then, shall we go in?

Um... Will you be alright?

Yes. I will give it a good try.

Since your mother was a viewer of my drama, it shouldn't be hard.

Your father—

My father?

You can just not worry about him.

My landlord's mother. Jo Myeong Ja.

From Seoul Jongro district. Born in 1955.

A homemaker who wants to be viewed as a good wife and wise mother who is affable.

You're here, son.

Have you been well?

She is inclined to see her son getting married a day sooner than later.

The typical mother character, who is trying to reclaim the peace in the family for the sake of maintaining stability.

This is Ji Ho that I mentioned to you.

- Hello.
- You're here.

Was it difficult getting here?

Of course not.

This, though I'm not sure if you'll like it.

Oh, my world. Is there a woman anywhere who dislikes flowers?

It smells so good.

How long has it been since I last received a bouquet!

A character like her is my specialty.

It was worth writing daily dramas for a long time.

Your father is on his way back from the airport, returning from a trip with his friends.

- Sit down.
- Yes.

My landlord's father is Nam Hee Bong.

After lecturing for 30 years as an ethics teacher,

he retired last year as a principal.

He is a typical educator character.
[Respect your teachers, and love your students.
— Nam Hee Bong]

This is my area of expertise.

This will be easier than I thought.

You're here?

You said you were a tenant then, so I thought you were just the new tenant.

It's natural to come and go around the house if you're getting married.

You didn't think we would understand that?

Didn't you think like that?

Thank you for understanding.

I wasn't in the right frame of mind last time.

Of course.

That's when it's good if the man speaks up.

The men in our house are rather shy.

But those kind of men take good care of you behind the scenes, don't they?

What was it? Tsundere? (Term for a character who is cold on the outside but caring on the inside.)

Right?

- I'm aware since our family is from Gyeongsangdo.
- Really?

- Where in Gyeongsangdo?

Namhae.

It's great that you went to Seoul National University all the way from Namhae.

It's so difficult to be accepted to a university located in Seoul even if you grew up in Seoul.

Right?

Why are you saying you want to get married?

What do you mean why? The two youths are getting married because they like each other.

Why are you asking such a weird question?

You attended a prestigious school and must have been passionate about your writing.

Why are suddenly talking of marriage? That too after quitting work.

- That—
- Please stop.

You pushed Mother to get me married not long ago.

Now, what are you doing?

I didn't ask you.

Yes, th-that is,

I haven't known Se Hee for very long but—

Couples don't call each other that way, do they?

- Pardon?
- You were born in '88, not '78.

Is that how you address the person you're dating?

Are you conducting a pressure interview?

I am asking reasonable questions.

- Don't overdo it.
- Why are you asking things like why we are getting married?

Can't a dad ask even that?

Oppa!

I—l love him.

- Episode 5 -
Because This is My First Promise

1:46 pm.

Are you and Ji Ho having a good weekend? I was really touched that day.

You both are so in love!

- Ah, this.
- Son,

I love you.

- Are you going to exercise?
- Yes.

You are eating a late lunch.

Yes, since I slept late.

I must have released the stress of greeting your family.

You must have been very anxious that day.

Yes, probably.

You would have been tense. How did that—

- Yes?
- I— l love Oppa.

Did you draw that out of your drama experience?

I am surprised once again by your drastic decision-making skills.

Yes.

Based on your father's type, I thought we needed

a breakthrough.

I see. It was a breakthrough I never even thought of.

I was also surprised it was resolved through you.

He's not the type of person to believe those words though.

It occurred to me that your father was waiting for such a declaration.

I think he wanted to verify

if I am a safe person for his son.

Truthfully, it might be a little obvious, but

there is no more definite answer than love in that situation.

Right. There's no easier word than that either.

Now the only thing left is to have both families meet formally.

Then is the entire process wrapping up?

If there is no unexpected change, yes.

I'll be going.

Have a good workout.

- Is everyone busy today? Shall we have dinner together?
- Soo Ji: I can't. Working overtime today.
- Okay, how about Ho Rang?

It's pretty.

What?

The fine dust.

It sounds crazy, right?

Yep.

More than Ji Ho?

Nope.

Soo Ji, is Ho Rang alright?

What does Ji Ho say? Is she asking if I'm okay?

Yeah.

Did I not look okay when Ji Ho spoke to us?

Was it really obvious I was jealous?

No, just a little obvious.

Ji Ho, wear the dress I gave you when the families meet each other tomorrow, understood?

I know this is weird, but

now of all times, especially me getting married...

I'm sorry.

I knew you'd be like this.

That's right, be sorry only until today, okay?

Why is she sorry? It's not like she stole and married my husband.

She's just too softhearted.

You've never seen Brother-in-law, have you?

Who is Brother-in-law?

Ji Ho's groom. You don't know him exactly either, do you?

He's already Brother-in-law?

We need to investigate before they set a date.

Our softhearted girl. I worry that perhaps she's fallen for the wrong person.

Let's ask Won Seok when he comes.

He would know best.

What?

You haven't made up yet?

He hasn't come home for the past five days. Sim Won Seok.

They won't give you a refund?

They said never.

Aren't you going home? I had 23 bottles of soju in 3 days thanks to you.

I feel like my intestines have burst and my liver has partially melted.

There has to be a house for me to go back to. Where is it?

The lease is under your name, but the security deposit is paid by your girlfriend. Go back to that rooftop home.

I won't, I won't go! I'm so mad! Do you know how much effort I put into that sofa?

I even sold the wireless keyboard that I love, for a cheap price online.

Then why the heck did she get so angry?

You bought her a sofa when she asked. If that's not the answer, what is?

I don't know. How would I know her fickle mind?

Perhaps, was it not wanting the sofa but something else?

He really bought you the sofa. Your Won Seok is

bright and innocent.

But this is actually pretty good.

That bright, tiny, pebble-like engineering student.

I thought I shaped him into a mineral, but

I was mistaken. A stone is still a stone.

Then, you ask him to get married first.

- Are you crazy?!
- Why not?

The first person who wants to should say it.

I don't want to!

I don't want to seem desperate.

Getting married?

Right! Look here. Sofa, home for the newlywed, the junior at work. Hence,

she wants to have a newlywed home you can put that sofa in, like her work junior. Hence, she wants to get married.

It's right!

Nah. No way.

What's "no way" about it? You guys have been dating for seven years!

Then usually, people get married.

Hyungnim, our Rang isn't that kind of ordinary woman!

When I was writing my thesis, do you know what she was doing? When my professor left for a family vacation,

she would watch their dog, and she even helped their kids with their homework.

A girl like her knows better than anyone else that this is the most important time in my life.

Getting married? Oh, Hyung! It's because you don't know my Rang.

My God. We missed that!

The sofa was the display model. That's why!

Daebak! Oh.

Oh, it's that! It was that! Hyung, how did you know that?

Oh, we missed that one!

Seriously.

- This liquor.
- Have something to go with it.

It was because the sofa was the display model!

Yeah. Mom, you're not sleeping?

What?

Are you coming up on tomorrow morning's bus?

Yes.

It's nothing else, but I wanted to tell you something about the family meeting.

Oh, Ji Ho? What?

Oh. Dad. What happened to Mom?

I don't know! Your mom put me on the phone.

What? What happened now?

Well, that's . . .

Alright, Dad. Come safely. Yes.

- You're here.
- Yes.

Was that your father?

Yes. Oh, I told him today that we're not having a wedding ceremony.

I see. I told them today, too.

- Really?
- Yes.

I thought I should tell them in advance, so we don't get anything unexpected tomorrow.

How were your parents? Did they accept it well?

Yes. Fortunately,

Dad surprisingly didn't say anything.

I think it's because my brother hasn't had his wedding yet, and that was helpful to us.

I see. My mother didn't have much opinion on it either.

I think it was a shocker to her when I let her know the detailed facts of the cost of a wedding.

I see. That's a relief.

Then...

After this family meeting, we won't have any more expenditures, right?

Yes. Then, how about we finish the final contract tomorrow, after we get back from the meeting of the families?

Yes.

But Ji Ho, your mother. What is her thought on it?

- What?
- When I think about it,

since we went to meet her last time, your mother hasn't had much of an opinion.

M-Mom...

She doesn't usually have opinions.

As I told you, our family is an absolute patriarchy.

Oh, now that I think about it, your father didn't say any...

- What about your father's thoughts?
- I am not interested.

What?

It's tomorrow at five'o clock. I will be waiting at the terminal.

Alright.

The weather in Seoul is cold so dress warmly.

Of course!

Mom, make sure you bring anti-nausea medicine.

How come Mom doesn't even give one reply?

She put dad on the phone, too.

Mom, are you asleep?

I'm sleeping.

How did she text me if she was asleep?

What is it?

This feeling like she's protesting to me?

Getting married is a huge event, isn't it?

This is not just any event, right?

On that, please take a drink from me.

Yes. Of course.

Kids are so smart these days.

At first when they said they weren't going to have a ceremony, it was kind of disappointing.

But if you think about it, it's such a wise thought in today's time of recession, right?

Yes, well, I'm grateful that you think that way.

Take a drink from me too, please.

Yes. Thank you.

To be able to get into Seoul National University from Namhae,

she must have been so smart ever since she was little.

No, just the same as others.

She knows how to be respectful to her elders too, I noticed.

Just the same as others.

She's so gentle and amiable, unlike the kids today.

That's not true.

She's the same as others.

- Oh, I see.
- She's just the same.

She's adequately immature and adequately selfish like kids today.

She's exactly like how they are today. Nothing different.

I see.

Why are you saying useless things.

So please take a drink from me too, Mrs.

- Yes, shall I?
- It's a good day today.

Yes.

You paid?

Yes.

I saw on some blog that it's best to settle the bill from the family meeting in advance.

Should we settle shared expenses like this at the month end?

It might be too much to have to go half and half each and every time.

After today, we won't have reason to anyway.

I'll just take care of today.

No. This place is expensive.

But your parents made the trip all the way to Seoul.

We should take into consideration their cost of transportation and the trouble, too.

Yes.

Oh. No.

So we meet, and we let them know,

and after we get through a few steps, it's finished.

It's easier than I thought, getting married.

Actually, I was worried, honestly,

that the families might have a hard time understanding.

I expected it would be this easy.

- Really?
- Yes.

Since it's quite a good collaboration—we are.

I have a mortgage but that I have a house.

You graduated from an ivy-league school, but you're jobless.

I think these played definitive roles for both families.

I understand the first one, but why the second?

Because socially, they do want someone who would add to their reputation as a family of educators.

While personally, they won't want to have a daughter-in-law that they need to look up to.

You somehow met both of my parent's hypocritical demands.

I see.

To think that I am a jobless ivy-league graduate,

I never knew it could bring about such a synergy. It's a relief.

I am the grateful one.

What did I say? What did I?

What's wrong with you today?

You drunk?

Sure. I'm a little drunk.

Since I'm a little drunk, I'll say a little what I want to say.

We are not interested in just sending our daughter off like this haphazardly.

- What do you mean, haphazardly?
- We're going to do what others all do, too.

We'll have to do a ceremony, too.

The kids already settled on it though.

We are the same. There should be a wedding ceremony.

Are you senile?

You sick somewhere?

I guess it's time I got menopause.

What's really wrong with you? You trying to wreck your daughter getting married?

What? What did I do?

They first started talking like that.

Say what? They are so nice.

Saying how she's not like the kids today.

That she's gentle and amiable.

Those are compliments to a woman though.

If they both work, it'll cost more to raise kids.

So she is saying it's good she quit her job to stay home.

That's the truth though.

And the decisive one. How is she like me at all?

Mom, you and Noona look the same.

You didn't know that?

Mom!

What's really wrong?

Mom, last time when you went to Young In Unni's wedding, you said it was a noisy and money-wasting event, too.

Mom, it's good enough to have a quiet meeting between the families.

Why does it have to be a wedding exactly?

It's because they seem to think you're a pushover.

You thought gentle and amiable were compliments?

That all means you are obedient to the in-laws.

And it's to tell you not to make noise.

And not doing a wedding, too. If it's not because they are looking down on you since you're already living with him, then what is it?

Why do you make things so twisted?

It's because it's the truth. The truth!

Alright, since we're talking about this, let me ask you this.

You... Why are you getting married?

What's there to be a "why" about getting married?

I mean, at thirty, is getting married a strange thing?

What about your work?

Your writing?

I don't write anymore.

I ended it.

So then, this is like getting a job.

- Instead of marrying.
- So, what? I can't do that?

Do you think I paid for your tuition and let you go to Seoul for this?

Did you insist on being a writer, even when your dad gave you a hard time, for this?

Just to turn out like this?

So what?

Did you think I would become something big?

Did you have hope that I would give you money once I became a famous scriptwriter?

Yes, that's what I wanted, why?

After giving you so much, I feel like it's all such a waste.

I paid for your college admission fee and gave you more money for you to spend in Seoul without your father knowing.

Leave that dress from the department store you wore for the reading here before you go.

If she wants to get married as a job...

You couldn't even get yourself a luxury bag like everyone else. Just look at your stupidity.

You have to have something to get something.

What do we have at home?

You can't even afford your daughter a room.

What would you expect me to get? You should listen to what you're saying!

Writer? To be able to continue that type of thing, you need to come from a rich family background.

If you don't have money, then all you can do is sleep.

There's no such thing as dreams.

So what you're father is doing is being considerate of her family. Usually, the men don't really care,

but normally, the bride would like to wear a wedding dress and do these types of things.

Your motto in life is to not care about how other people think, isn't it?

Please relay this message to him.

So, the thing is...

Se Hee is saying it's pointless to hold an expensive wedding to live up to outsiders' expectations.

My daughter-in-law isn't an outsider.

Tell him I said that.

So, your dad feels like a wedding is a happy day welcoming a new member of the family.

Everyone should come together and congratulate each other.

Just say that you feel like you wasted all the money you gave away at weddings.

That sounds much more sincere coming from you.

Se Hee...

You just want to brag about how well you raised your son

and how your daughter-in-law graduated from a prestigious university.

I'm not getting married to make you look good.

You promised that once I get married, you will stop threatening Mom with divorce

and stop caring about my business.

Please keep it.

How is it considered a marriage without a wedding ceremony? What kind of marriage is that?

I won't accept it.

Hold it in. Hurry and leave.

Go quickly.

Didn't you have a full Korean meal for dinner?

I've digested it all from arguing with my mom.

Are you seriously not going to hold a wedding ceremony?

How can I hold a wedding when I'm unemployed, and

my house owner's finances are tight with a mortgage payment, too. What wedding?

But don't you still want to wear a wedding dress?

Are you not even going to take wedding pictures?

I'm not sure. The house owner and I don't really have many thoughts about that.

Ji Ho, you getting married, isn't just for you.

Your opinion doesn't matter.

Then why do you hold press conferences before a drama airs?

You do that to draw attention, so the investors and the stations don't lose out. It's the same for weddings, too.

That's why I don't want to.

Why must we? And how are my parents investors?

It's about the same anyway.

You said your mother said the same, too, though she said it out of anger.

It's not only for money, but they want to be compensated emotionally.

Yeah, I also want to see you in a dress. Don't you think your mom would want it more?

I don't have money for the wedding.

Neither the house owner nor I.

However, why have you been addressing your fiancé as "house owner" since earlier?

What?

Did I do that?

Yeah, twice now.

Did I?

Why did I do that?

By any chance, do you guys

have some type of role play between house owner and tenant?

"Your rent is overdue."

"I'll teach you a lesson tonight."

I like it, Soo Ji!

No! What are you doing?

"There's only cold water coming out of the shower."

"Then I'll warm it up for you,

with my body!"

Oh my gosh. That's so dirty!

I said that's not it. Are you seriously crazy?

Hey, did you leave without wearing your bra again?

Yeah.

What's wrong with you, seriously?

Why did you go without wearing it?

Hey, think about it. Imagine a perfect size chest like mine being

squeezed like this all day.

Isn't that hard for you?

Let go. I'm going to kill you.

If I didn't have to wear a bra, I would love going to work.

Noona, Mom wants to know your boyfriend's phone number.

Ahjumma, we'll take another 500 ml of beer.

No need!

Didn't you say you wanted to get drunk today?

I am drunk. This is good enough.

Your neurons are so rational to be feeling drunk already with just 500 ml of beer.

However, why don't those rational neurons work that well with marriage?

- What are you talking about?
- Weddings are used to collect money.

How many times have I told you that it's a strange ritual where people pay for their own meals and still shout with elation?

You only hold a wedding ceremony in order to get money from people. In the end, you are sure to benefit from it.

I have no thought of being my parents' sidekick to collect money.

Because you refused to be the sidekick a single time, do you want to suffer for the rest of your life?

Don't you want to get it over with in one to two hours and then enjoy a comfortable married life?

Are you confident that you can withstand your parents nagging for not having a wedding ceremony for the rest of your life?

Just do it. It doesn't cost that much.

Should I make a cost estimate for you?

- No need.
- Okay.

The congratulatory monies you'd receive would cover the meal.

Bride's dress. I know a cheap place.

Traditional wedding, skip.

Here, this is about what it should be.

I said no need.

This is all that it will cost?

And we can get it down more using the acquaintance chance.

Him, for instance.

However, who is that person that's been sleeping here since earlier?

It was not since earlier but since yesterday.

Ah! This is him. The one that introduced you to Ji Ho! Ji Ho's friend.

Hey! Get up! Get up!!

- Aigoo.
- Hey, be careful of this.

Nice to meet you.

I'll make the mobile invitation for you. For free.

How did it go with your mother?

What about your father?

- Should we just—
- Should we just—

Please speak first.

Should we just

have a wedding ceremony?

This week, please pay special attention to the stabilization of the project. You're all aware that it's an entire company dinner this coming Monday, right?

Who holds a company dinner on Monday? There's a problem with the company culture.

That's the strength of our company that is liberal.

If you don't like it, you should become a CEO, okay?

I think I'll have to miss the company dinner this time.

You're aware that you can't miss a company dinner unless there's a death in the family, right, Mr. Nam?

There's a wedding on Monday night.

Ah... a wedding on a Monday night.

It's a great Monday night to get married.

What kind of people get married on a Monday night? Whose wedding is it?

It's my wedding.

So, I must go.

It was cheapest to get married on a Monday night.

Ah, you're the emcee, CEO Ma. Can you not be there because of a company dinner?

♫ While thinking of you ♫

She said she wore it once taking photos. It's really almost brand new.

Thanks. Be sure to tell your friend that I'll treat her to dinner.

But someone already wore this dress. Will you be okay?

Since it was used for photos, it's too simple. There's no volume.

Gosh... I'm only going to wear it for an hour.

It's pretty. And all the wedding dresses look the same to me.

How could that be? Are you color blind?

It's a weekday evening. Are you expecting many guests?

Well, most of them are my parents' guests. We don't have many guests. The house owner...

As for Se Hee, his coworkers are the only ones.

Is there anyone interesting among the groom's friends? I haven't dated in a while.

It's not that you haven't dated in a while. You mean you took a break from your sex life.

Hey, that ahjussi you used to stay in touch with. Are you not interested anymore? Did you completely cut off contact?

He looks perfectly fine, but he moves around too much. Gives me a headache.

Oh, yeah, Rang.

I contacted Won Seok because of the wedding.

Ah, really?

Won Seok, I think he drinks every day these days.

His voice sounded really bad.

Really?

You're not going to call him?

Why would I call my ex-boyfriend? So messy.

If he doesn't call for over a week, doesn't that mean he wants to break up with me?

I'm going on a blind date next week.

Here.

What kind of concept would you like? Melodrama, romantic comedy, or comedy?

- What's this?
- Your wedding concept. Are you going to have a celebratory song?

No.

For a wedding, doing a spinning game, squat and stand, or doing push-ups. These traditional concepts are fun.

- I'm so looking forward to it.
- Don't do anything.

There's only one thing you have to do, CEO Ma. End the wedding ceremony as quickly as possible.

What are you saying? The wedding ceremony that happens only once in your lifetime, you want to end it like that?

Yeah. A wedding ceremony that won't be remembered by anyone. A short and very ordinary wedding ceremony.

I beg of you.

I'm sure he's up to something.

How about the groom's suit?

- I think I'll just wear my suit.
- Okay.

As for our parents' Korean dress... My parents say they'll borrow our relatives'.

My mother has one also.

Okay. They're taken care of rather easily.

So, I think that's all, right?

There's one most important thing. Our contract.

Ah, yes.

What we need to agree on is...

About the cost of things and...

About ending our contract.

Yes, as we discussed previously, we'll spend our own money on holiday or family-related expenses.

Will you be okay with that?

Yes, I'm fine.

We'll say our contract will expire in two years. In the case of a variable in the meantime,

- we'll renegotiate. Will that be okay?
- Yes.

Ah.

But in what form would contract expiration take place?

So, would it be a divorce?

Of course, we won't be registering our marriage, but

when we consider how people around will know about us...

Yes, I guess so.

We'll have to announce the end of our contract in the form of a divorce.

On the outside, we can say we settled for a divorce over irreconcilable differences.

What do you think about that?

Yes, I think that would be good.

I understand.

What are you bringing me this late?

The side dishes that Mom brought for the family meeting.

She couldn't give them to you because you left like that.

Well... Mom says to get your boyfriend's phone number.

Tell her you don't know. Say I won't tell you.

What is she going to say to him?

What's wrong with Mom all of a sudden anyway?

Why is she being so fussy?

I'm shocked myself.

I didn't think my mom would do that. About the wedding, too.

Especially asking you to get a luxury bag from the groom. That was shocking.

I know.

Don't worry. You just have to have a wedding.

I'll take Mom and Dad home safely. See you at the wedding.

Bye.

Noona.

But...

I think I know a little bit about why Mom is acting like that.

Marriage isn't that simple like you're thinking.

I'm sure you'll know what I mean when you get married. Bye.

People would think he's been married for six years.

He's only been married six months.

According to the sociologist Gary Becker,

there has to be a bigger benefit to getting married than living single

for people to get married.

♫ Stay here quietly like this without a sound ♫

♫ As if we're together out of coincidence ♫

I thought marriage is a simple thing.
Two-year Contract for Live-in Marriage

Something that can be done to benefit one another.

Except that for our benefit...

there's no love.

So, I thought it was

much simpler.

♫ Come it may ♫

♫ You're my everything ♫

♫ Stay by my side every day, fall in love ♫

♫ Could you be my one and only, look at me like this ♫

♫ Forever ♫

♫ I want to be a special one for you ♫

Shall we go?

Yes.

It suits you better than I anticipated.

Thank you.

What? A traffic jam? Then, how long...

There must be an accident. I think it will take longer than an hour. What should we do?

An hour?

Ji Ho, I think you two should get going first or you'll be late.

Oh, okay. I'll see you later then.

What should we do? I think my friends who are supposed to pick us up are stuck.

Yes, I was looking at the traffic condition. I think there's been an accident.

I think we should go ahead and take a taxi. If not, we'll be late.

Yes, let's do that.

That bus. It goes straight to the front of the wedding hall.

I know.

If we take a taxi it will be pricey.

Shall we run?

Yes.

♫ You are my everything ♫

♫ Open my closed heart, loving you ♫

♫ Could you be my one and... ♫

♫ Look at me like now forever ♫

♫ I will love you, love you, love you, love you, love you ♫

We should arrive on time, right?

Yes. We have enough time.

By chance, do you think you'll need a handkerchief?

What? A handkerchief?

My friend who's supposed to emcee told me to be sure to bring a handkerchief.

When the bride cries, the groom should be sure to wipe her tears.

Cry? Me?

Right? That won't happen, right?

No.

You worry over so many things.

Why would I cry? I'm not like that.

Yes. I'm so glad that you're not.

- Hi, Ji Ho.
- You're so pretty.

- Ji Ho!
- Ji Ho!

Oh, my goodness! You're so pretty!

I did expect it, but you make even my heart skip a beat.

Friends, please sit. I'll take a photo.

Yes.

Hey, your groom is a ton better looking in person than in the photo.

What the? You said you don't care about looks.

Yeah! It was a total shock. He's tall, too.

Really? He's tall?

Hey, did you do your makeup waterproof?

Waterproof?

Hey, your makeup will get erased when you cry later. That's why you're supposed to do bridal makeup in waterproof. You didn't know?

I'm taking it.

One, two.

Hello.

Congratulations.

Please go in.

Where are you going?

Restroom.

The bride went to the restroom though.

She did?

You needed to see me for something?

Nothing.

Why would I need to?

But why are you coming out of there?

I thought it was the restroom, so I went in there.

Mom.

That person. Why did you ask for his phone number?

What? I can't ask for my son-in-law-to-be's phone number?

To say what to him now?

What?

Mom, we're doing this wedding like you wanted,

so don't say anything sour anymore.

If you say strange things to him again,

then I will really be mad.

Okay?

You should also

have a daughter just like you and raise her.

The ceremony will start very soon.

Yes.

Oh. That black bag is Se Hee's bag, right?

Yes, it is. Why?

Earlier, your mother asked about it, saying she had something to give him.

What? My mom?

Yes. She put something in the bag and left.

I just knew it.

What is this?

We are about to commence the wedding ceremony of groom, Mr. Nam Se Hee and bride, Miss Yoon Ji Ho.

May all the guests be seated now.

Se Hee.

What? Why?

How would I know?

Um...

Ji Ho.

I'm Ji Ho's mom.

I'm not sure how I should address you yet.

Since I've only seen you a few times.

At the meeting of the family, I'm sorry about that.

It's like that about the oldest daughter.

At times she's like my husband.

And at times she seems like a friend, too.

Being discounted by her dad and slighted by her younger brother.

Having been born to a foolish mother, she's had to suffer many heartaches, my daughter.

But still, fortunately, she did not take after me and she's smart.

Certificate of Merit

At least she won't live like her mom.

I had thought it was fortunately so.

But in this day and age, no matter what, you need to be born to good parents.

I guess it's all useless even if you're just smart all by yourself.

Se Hee.

If I made just two requests from you,

would it be alright?

Ji Ho, if later on, she wants to write,
[Assistant Writer: Yoon Ji Ho]

could you make it so that she can write?
[Assistant Writer: Yoon Ji Ho]

I'll come and help with whatever house chores you have.

Therefore...

Even if it's later on, so that she can write again,

not giving up on her dream,

not living like her mom, please help her with that.

And also,

my Ji Ho, once she starts to cry, she can't stop easily.

So...

Please don't let her cry alone.

Even if you make her cry, please stay by her side no matter what.

Se Hee. They said it's time for the groom to enter. What do we do?

Go.

I'll figure it out and go in.

So you go first.

Yes, Se Hee. I'll take care of the bride well.

You go first now. The guests are waiting.

Hurry.

Tissue.

Make up. Tissue.

Stop it already, Ji Ho.

♫ Putting on a mean face ♫

♫ Picking out terse words ♫

♫ Though you say it hurtfully ♫

♫ We become strangers ♫

♫ That's how I feel ♫

♫ That's what I fear ♫

♫ That's what's hard ♫

Is your crying not stopping?

Then, let's go together.

It's alright if you cry.

Come with me.

I'll be by your side.

I'll stay with you.

I had thought it was something easy.

Getting married.

The meeting of your and my benefits.

And perhaps

the meeting of heart to heart.

This something that is not easy

has begun.

Our thing?

Yes, it's our thing.

OMG. We go as soon as the photo shoot ends. Got it?

- Height raiser.
- Me?
- Move to the bride's side.

Why would I acknowledge? I'm shy.

I really like it when we say "we."

You get excited, you mean?

- We!
- We?

I love you so much,

but I still don't really know what marriage is.

After all, are love and getting married really the same?
