Original subtitles

You must have a lot of questions.

- Yes. - As I told you last time,

as soon as the date of the wedding was set,

we immediately ended our relationship that day.

After that we didn't see or contact each other at all.

And then,

because of my headaches and memory loss, I went to the hospital,

and after undergoing a number of tests, I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

I didn't tell anyone, but...

My cousin and younger brother found out.

One day Ji Hyung met my cousin,

and they went to a neighborhood pojangmacha*. (*street vendor)

And by coincidence,

there they met the doctor who had diagnosed me.

Without my knowing, my cousin

had met the doctor as my guarantor.

The doctor recognized my cousin

and he said a few words to him about me.

Ji Hyung sensed something was wrong then,

and he followed the doctor, set up an appointment to speak with him,

and pressed my cousin into telling him.

Was... that before the wedding was cancelled?

- Yes. - If he didn't know about your situation,

would the wedding have proceeded as planned?

Most likely...

Yes, it would have.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want him to know of my illness

or for the wedding to be cancelled.

I don't think that's true.

Humans are quite stubborn animals.

The situation you're in at that age...

is quite unfortunate.

But moreover, I think to myself, "Oh no, what will happen to him?"

I'm more worried about my own child.

- I'm sorry. - No.

Of course you are.

Just a year, and if that was too long,

I wanted to persuade you to wait at least six months.

I'm quite taken by you.

My husband is quite stubborn,

but even if he didn't come around after all my persuasions,

I'd take my son's side;

that's the mindset I came here with.

But I can't do that now.

No matter what Ji Hyung says, for his sake...

I can't.

Yes.

He loves you, enough to set everything else aside,

to put his future on the line.

And I want to accept you as my child as well.

But please understand why I can't do so.

I told him I was envious of his great parents.

Of course.

I feel the same way you do.

At that age, in your situation,

how could you be so composed and decisive?

I'm using all my strength to do so.

I know a few of Ji Hyung's friends.

Who's your cousin?

His name is Jang Jae Min.

Jae Min?

You're Jae Min's younger cousin?

Yes.

I see.

You were Jae Min's cousin...

Yes.

Take it.

No.

It's an alarm notifying me to a meeting in ten minutes.

Oh.

Then we should leave now.

I'm sorry.

No, let's go.

Since the last time we met,

I wanted to say that you can address me informally.

But I wasn't sure how you'd take it.

It's fine.

I'm not the type of person to drop formalities so easily.

Then...

Yes, I'll watch you leave.

Can I...

hold your hand once?

Yes.

I'm at a loss of words to express just how thankful I am.

But you're facing such a difficult situation,

and I don't have a way to help you.

Don't worry about it.

By any chance,

would you like to go to another hospital?

No, it's fine.

Please send him to me.

It won't be for a long period.

Please allow me just one year.

I almost said that.

I almost did.

I wanted to connect them in two different ways, so I separated them into ALT 1 and ALT 2.

I wanted a direct path through ALT 1 so I placed a plaza in the center.

Like ALT 1, ALT 2 will also have a square in the center,

and I want a path following the curve.

This establishment isn't on flat land but at the top of a mountain.

We need to deal with the level differences.

I think we can solve that using bridges or ramps.

Yeah, I agree.

For this exhibit, other companies will probably piece together individual plans.

Yes, this is Song Suk Ho, one moment please.

- Professor Kim is here. - Tell representative Park about it.

Yes, please speak.

Yes, I'm aware of it.

Is he going to go through with it? No matter what?

Yes.

I told him to do it once father's anger had dissipated somewhat,

but he won't listen.

He told me he had prepared a home as well.

Yes, an apartment.

How?

He doesn't have any money.

It's a monthly rental.

I'm sorry.

Ji Hyung has been busy at work

so my wife looked for a place to live instead.

Ji Hyung himself picked the furniture.

I wanted to dissuade him but he was so resolute,

and there seemed to be no point in persuading him otherwise.

I didn't want this to affect our work,

so I had no choice but to help him.

And on the other hand, rather than father getting angry again later,

it might not be a bad idea for him to face his anger all at once.

But it looks like she rejected him,

saying now is not the right time.

Anything else?

Is there anything else you know?

Why must he get married now?

Do you know?

Well, he said, "Life is short,

I wanted to spend my days with her as soon as possible."

He said he hadn't know what it was that he truly wanted.

He said disappointing his parents was inexcusably wrong,

but that it couldn't be helped.

So he's made up his mind?

It's a lost cause.

Even I gave up and told my wife to do it.

I think all women must be like that.

She said she was jealous but then worked hard at finding him a place.

How could he be so reckless?

Don't worry so much,

please trust in Ji Hyung's choice.

Right now, he may be overstepping himself,

but after you see your grandchildren and a few years pass,

all the scars will fade and things will be fine.

Father will have no choice but to accept it as well.

He probably will.

I'm sorry I keep bothering you.

No, no, please, don't say such a thing.

Even though I was beside him,

I couldn't prevent him from making such mistakes,

I'm the one who's sorry.

But, Ji Hyung believes you to be his biggest support.

It's probably because I'm a pushover.

This morning he said he'd have to delay it for a while,

saying you'd be furious.

Ji Hyung isn't careless.

Please help him.

She'll most definitely be a great daughter-in-law.

What do you think of the gradation?

From here to there, there to here.

It keeps crossing and changing.

And we'll probably highlight the title with either gold or silver leaf.

I guess we're going to have to prepare for a war of wills against the printing company.

That's your specialty.

Whether a war of wills is short or long depends on what you use for your initial attack.

- Maybe reduce shininess... - What about the coating?

That's something to worry about as well.

To reduce shininess, we shouldn't use coating.

But it'll get dirty and may rip easily.

If we don't put a coating on, the book will look refined,

but it can also look ragged.

Shall we go with flat coating?

While highlighting the color itself, I think it'll look luxurious.

- Yes, that sounds good. - All right.

Then Yoo Jung can figure out how we can bring out the color.

- We'll have another meeting afterwards. - Yes, Team Manager.

Do you have a headache again?

Yeah.

Do you, by any chance, have high blood pressure?

No, why?

My aunt has high blood pressure, she's taken painkillers her entire life.

She eventually passed away because of a cerebral hemorrhage.

You don't need to mention that she passed away.

But she says it's not her blood pressure.

I've never had any headaches.

- Must be good for you. - You should get it checked out.

They say even young people nowadays have high blood pressure.

There's also a lot of diabetics as well.

[Cover meeting]

Again?

You just brushed your teeth thirty minutes ago.

I know.

You've been brushing your teeth quite often.

If you keep doing that, all your teeth are going to fall out.

Three times a day is plenty, isn't it?

Is three times really enough?

If you want to prevent discoloration, you have to count the brushings even after a cup of coffee,

it probably comes out to something like ten.

It's too annoying, so I avoid coffee if I can.

My father, who passed away, died after living seven years with Alzheimer's,

and he used to brush his teeth so often.

He had always been somewhat obsessed about being clean.

He'd go in and out of the baths all day.

My mother suffered quite a lot.

I heard that when you get Alzheimer's you can't even go to the bathroom,

and don't like washing themselves. He must've been a strange case.

It's a given that he couldn't go to the bathroom.

Still, until the last moment, he was devoted to washing himself.

- At least he didn't smell. - That's not true.

What point is there in only washing your own body after having soiled oneself?

There really is no difference.

The story has suddenly shifted to Alzheimer's,

so the team manager doesn't know what to say.

Yeah, I know, that's right.

Why don't you check if there is a problem with your digestive system?

If you keep getting a bad taste in your mouth, it may be because of that.

Do you often get white or yellow coatings on your tongue?

- Maybe it's your liver? - But team manager doesn't have bad breathe.

In any case, I'll go and brush my teeth.

Since I drank coffee during the meeting, I have a reason, don't I?

Team Manager, you didn't drink coffee,

you drank green tea.

Right, I brush my teeth after drinking green tea as well.

I want to wash out the taste of green tea.

I told you, all your teeth are going to fall out.

It's okay, I'll just get false teeth.

False teeth?

Thirty minutes ago...

Soon they'll all realize something's wrong...

All of them.

- Hello, ma'am. - Have you been well?

Yes, as always.

I'll tell her you've arrived, please sit.

Ahjumma, ahjumma!

Yes, I'm here, ma'am!

Take this out to the garbage.

I can't stand seeing her hunched over that!

You wouldn't even listen to me when I suggested we go overseas,

why are you acting so innocent and pure?

Are you waiting for your husband who's gone off to the battlefield?

Why are you sewing?

Is your life over? What is it?

Are you waiting to die as a virgin without setting eyes on another man

because your husband has died?

That's not it, Mom.

I had been putting it off and all I wanted to do was finish it.

Why are you making such a big deal out of it?

I'd rather you go into the gym and work out!

You eat breakfast and then sew, eat lunch and sew.

What the hell are you going to do with that?

If you want it, you can buy it with money, why the hell are you doing that?

Alright, alright, Mom. I won't do it ever again, I won't.

Ahjumma, you came.

Why are you working on a quilt right now?

If it was me, I wouldn't want to see you like that either.

It helps me pass time the quickest, without any thought.

For the time being, it would be best not to aggravate your mom.

Yes.

What would you like? Mom, what would you like?

- Tell them I want a cup of luwak coffee. - Alright.

Sit, and bring me the bag near my vanity.

All right.

Weren't you even curious whether I left or arrived?

Must I be the one to call you first?

I thought you'd like to rest a bit when you came back.

When I left,

I told her I wouldn't stay quiet if I saw her sewing again.

You should be more understanding.

Would you have been understanding if it was your child

at the receiving end, holed up in their room quilting?

It's just her way of coping, there's no reason to be so uptight about it.

Be quiet.

You have your own ways and I have mine.

I don't know when it'll stop feeling like we're in a prison.

At this age, I can't even immigrate somewhere.

People don't talk for that long,

it'll all seem like old news soon enough.

Where did you come from?

I was meeting someone.

Who?

I had something to take care of.

My suspicions continue to get deeper.

Did Ji Hyung, by any chance, have another woman?

Why... why do you think so?

It just doesn't make any sense.

Without any complaints, all the preparations for the wedding were complete,

and then right before, he says he can't do it because there is no love.

Did he just suddenly realize there was no love?

He just suddenly realized it after waking up one day?

I don't think that's it.

It seemed like he had been thinking that way for a while.

He was still planning to go through with it,

but I think for Hyang Gi's sake, he decided that it was wrong.

You're just saying it was for Hyang Gi's sake because of appearances,

tell me the truth,

he has another girl, doesn't he?

The only explanation I can think of that makes sense is that one.

Did Hyang Gi... did Hyang Gi say something?

Hey, that idiot still only has eyes for him.

What makes me even more furious

is that the child I gave birth to only amounts to that.

I think some of the aroma has dissipated from the coffee.

The shopping bag.

All right.

I don't know what's better.

If there really is another girl, it may help Hyang Gi get over him,

but if it is true, I'll rip his head off.

We can only wait for time to pass,

there's no other way.

And how's he doing?

Since he's living apart from us, I can't even see his face.

What is this?

After those two were tied together, I wanted us two to go on a cruise and relax.

I know.

It's a good thing we haven't become enemies.

A part of me didn't really want to buy a present,

but once I've gone overseas, I've never returned empty handed.

I'm not in the position to accept such a thing.

It's nothing.

I am human, after all, it bothered me.

It's a wallet, your black one bothers me.

I'm sick of seeing it.

I really wasn't expecting this.

If it was me, I don't think I could've handled it like you did.

I'm learning a lot from you.

Say that we do turn our backs on each other,

just think how satisfied everyone else will be.

They'll be talking behind our back, saying how we always hung out together,

and then became enemies because of our children.

That's why we didn't accept Director Park's resignation either.

Right.

Ahjumma, can you have dinner here before you go?

Want to have dinner before you go?

No, no, I didn't even call saying I was going to be late.

I have to go.

See her out.

All right.

Why does it hurt again?

There's no reason for it.

I'm in a bad mood.

Go.

Like your mom suggested,

why don't you go on a vacation for a few months?

There's a lot of places to go.

I didn't want to go anywhere.

It's better being scolded by my mom at home,

if I go overseas my relatives will keep asking questions and I'll have to answer.

I don't want to do that.

Then you can steer clear of your relatives,

and get some information from a travel agency.

What if I spend every day crying?

That could happen.

It feels like half of myself has disappeared

and I'd only been walking around with the other half.

It'll look so lonely and pathetic.

As of now, I still feel that way.

I saw oppa for a bit.

A few days ago, I baked some cookies and dropped them off at his officetel.

Oppa said he didn't have dinner, so I kept him company as a friend.

Mom doesn't know.

Are you okay?

Don't you hate him?

Wasn't Ji Hyung surprised?

No.

He acted as if nothing happened,

and treated me like a younger sister.

Now that I think about it, he's been like that for a year now.

Well, for me... it was a bit uncomfortable.

He probably feels very sorry to you inside.

Right?

Ahjumma, by any chance, have you seen her?

I'm really curious.

I don't know what it is I'm feeling.

Don't be curious, it's nothing to concern yourself about.

Have you seen her?

No.

Not yet.

I haven't seen her yet.

If you see her, please tell me about her, will you?

What she looks like,

how tall she is,

whether you like her...

Why do you want to know that?

No particular reason.

I'll come to realize that it's for real

and be more at ease, I think.

I'll be going.

Yes.

I think these are necessary goods for guarantee campaign.

I got development license last week and will send it to supervisory service this week.

The necessary insurance to develop new computerized system...

Yeah, I'm walking.

No, you can talk, it doesn't matter.

If you're not doing anything, let's have a drink.

I guess we can't then.

Have you heard anything from Seo Yeon?

Help me, Jae Min.

No, I don't want to help you, who isn't in his right mind,

and nag Seo Yeon, who still is in her right mind.

You're just being sentimental.

You can't get so caught up in your emotions and do such a thing.

If nothing had happened to Seo Yeon, you would have gotten married.

You can't deny that.

You're doing it because you feel sorry for her.

You're right.

But my compassion for her isn't just a passing phase.

Is that why you're dismissing my words? Because I'm too caught in my emotions?

I'll worry about my own life.

I never asked you to worry about my life.

Let's talk later.

Let's get together when we have some time and talk it over.

Why didn't you go in?

We're going to have to leave soon anyway, I didn't want to waste money on coffee.

Let's go straight to dinner.

Instead, I'm going to eat something expensive.

As much as you'd like.

Did you come out because of work?

Yeah, meeting an author.

I scheduled the meeting so that I'd be able to get dinner and a ride from you.

You did well.

That was good.

Yeah, it was.

I'm full, you can eat the rest.

- Eat some more. - No, I ate as much as I can.

It's a waste but it can't be helped; I'm on a diet.

What?

I've cut down my dinners to half.

- Then just eat the fish. - Will it be okay?

Of course, fish won't make a difference.

- But why are you on a diet? - I'm not.

I just ate too much at lunch.

I see.

Oppa, now I even forget things I did thirty minutes before.

After we completed our meeting,

I didn't think I had brushed my teeth after eating lunch,

so I was going to go brush my teeth,

but then they asked me why I brushed my teeth so often,

that I had already brushed it thirty minutes before.

Now I need to put that on my notes too.

Take the medicine.

Really...

whether it works or not, I think I'll have to.

Before, I was at the appointed location waiting for the author,

and for a moment I couldn't remember who it was I was meeting.

And then I remembered,

but after that, I couldn't remember their name.

- Didn't you write it down? - That's what I'm talking about.

Now I'll have to be more concise, thorough, and clear when I write my notes.

Last night, there was a mug on the table,

and I almost scolded Moon Kwon to rinse out his cups.

Yes?

Shall I clear the table?

Yes.

In a little while, I won't even be able to say these things.

I'll even forget that I forgot anything.

I spoke with Ji Hyung.

He asked for my help.

I told him he was too caught up in his emotions so he got angry and hung up.

Oh... I met his mother before.

I was going to tell you something and I forgot for a moment.

Why did you meet her?

He told her we were going to get married.

I told him to stop acting all noble and acted like a bitch.

He told me to move in with him,

or else he'd move into my house.

- Isn't that ridiculous? - What did his mother say?

She came thinking I was pregnant.

- That's what he told her? - I think so.

I told him how much I didn't want to reenact a TV drama.

But in the end, we did make it into a drama.

I told her the truth, that I was sick.

I told her not to worry, that I couldn't get married.

- And? - She thanked me.

Did she?

I don't know, I can't recall.

But you know what?

If it wasn't for the disease, I could've gotten married in a year.

His mother had decided she was going to be on our side.

I really have such terrible luck.

Thanks for dinner.

Have you made up your mind?

To treat it like someone else's problem?

Yeah.

Is that what it looks like?

I've succeeded. You're right.

I want to treat it as if I'm looking in on someone else's problem.

What a joke, Alzheimer's at thirty?

I don't want to appear miserable and pathetic.

I'm going to watch and see how things turn out.

You know what?

Later, before I become someone who isn't me,

I don't want to cause pain to our family.

I can't be happy about it.

But I'll say, "Yes, that's what they told me, it can't be helped."

I'll lay that out there for them and laugh when I need to,

acting like I always have.

I don't think it's necessary to hurry up and lose myself already.

In the end, I'll become a white slate,

but as of now, I'm still okay.

Oppa... I don't want to become a burden to aunt, uncle and Moon Kwon

for as long as I can.

Yeah, I'm going to use all my strength to do so.

I'm used to doing that anyway.

Oppa, go.

Seo Yeon.

What?

Second floor, number 201, I won't have any problems from here to the house.

About Ji Hyung... what are you going to do?

Don't think about his parents or Ji Hyung's future,

what is it you want?

You can be honest with me.

That's such a cruel question.

I don't want to crumble before his eyes day by day and cause him pain.

Whether he sees you or not,

you're already in his heart.

Whether he sees you or not, it'll hurt all the same.

Oppa, you fool.

That's not the same.

Go.

Oppa, when did you get here?

One day, that's what I'll start doing.

It's me.

It bothered me when you accused me of taking your words lightly.

That's not true.

Right.

I shouldn't have gotten so annoyed.

You know what Seo Yeon said?

She said she didn't want to crumble before your eyes day by day

and cause you pain.

That was her answer.

I'm going to protect her through all that.

She tells me it's just childish bravado, but it's not.

Neither your family or her brother can give as much attention to Seo Yeon as I can.

I'm Seo Yeon's man.

I only want to do what I should be doing by her side.

Tell her to give in for my sake.

Don't doubt me. It's the truth.

If you protect her, I don't think Seo Yeon can be given a better present.

But what's important are her feelings.

She jeers and makes light of her illness,

making jokes out of her disease.

I can't tell whether it's a good or a bad thing.

What did you eat for dinner?

Before I came home, I ate pizza with the owner and his wife.

His wife brought it over.

Who did you eat with?

Oh... I ate with oppa.

I see.

What is it?

What was I going to do?

Did you come out to get a drink of water? Or maybe tea?

I don't think so...

Preparations for breakfast tomorrow?

That's right, breakfast preparations.

The weather's become chilly, let's make some soup.

Aunt brought some ox-blood soup to the convenience store before.

Oh.

I think it'll be plenty for two days.

Then that's great, soup is all we need.

I'm going to wash up.

All right.

But why... are you speaking so formally to me?

When have I not spoken like this?

You've always mixed between the two.

Why are you speaking to me like I'm a stranger?

Because I'm sick? Because I'm a patient?

You're making something out of nothing.

I wasn't thinking of any such thing.

- Do I feel distant to you? - No, you don't.

It's not.

I guess I was just unconsciously trying to treat you better.

Why?

- Because I'm a patient? - I just decided it was time to mature.

Why?

- Because I'm sick? - I told you, that's not it.

Let's just live as we always have and not change.

All right, I will.

What kind of soup did aunt bring?

Stop it already! It's what I wanted!

I earned this money myself, why can't I spend it any way I want!

Your legs and back have suffered so much while earning that money,

you don't even realize how precious it is, that's why I'm so angry!

I'm spending my own money that I earned, why are you getting so worked up?

I know I gave birth to you but you're so weird.

Mother and daughter are exactly the same...

The parkas she bought for you and mother

at the mall before were bought with my card.

So you just couldn't stand to part with that money?

No, Father!

That's not what we're saying, Father.

When they were there, apparently mother bought Moon Kwon a t-shirt.

I can accept that, I can understand up to that point.

But Father, mom then said that she needed to buy Seo Yeon a winter blanket,

so she spent her own money to buy it!

It's "her, her, her!"

I mean, mom was going to spend her own money to buy parkas for you two,

but we paid for it instead.

She accepted that but then spent her own money on Seo Yeon's blankets.

In the end, that means we're the ones who paid for Seo Yeon's blankets.

That's quite an odd way of calculating things.

In any case, fine, let's say that was true.

After those two moved out, we only bought them summer blankets,

they don't have anything to cover themselves during the winter,

so what's the problem with buying them a blanket! They're your younger cousins!

She earns plenty, why should I have to buy her blankets?

You didn't do anything for them after they moved out!

What?

I bought them pans, what do you mean I didn't do anything?

- Stop it, just stop! - Why should I stop?

Mentioning the pans is embarrassing, why would you brag about such a small thing?

You were thinking of using mom's money to set up our own business at that time,

we didn't have the means to give them anything better!

Hey, he still had enough to buy a car.

He bought a used car! A used car!

A used car is still a car!

When you walked in with those pans, I almost died of embarrassment.

Mom, just think of how much you spent feeding them for twenty years, that's enough!

Did you feed them? Your father did!

And we had plenty left even after we fed them.

Moon Kwon did little errands all the time.

And Seo Yeon helped out every morning and evening when preparing meals.

I did it too!

Twenty years? What are you talking about?

Once Seo Yeon got into college and started tutoring, they never ate for free.

They always paid 300, 400 thousand won!

And even more when she got a job!

My heart broke every time I accepted that money, don't spout such lies!

So it must've been about fifteen years then.

There's quite a big difference between fifteen and twenty years, honey.

If you round it up, it's twenty years!

Why would you do that? It's thirteen years!

It's so loud, I can't even read.

Grandpa, let's go, I don't know when this is going to end.

Stop it, it's loud.

What is it?

When did you get in?

Just now.

I didn't even know my own son came home.

When did he get in? Why didn't I know?

- I'm home, Mother. - Yeah, sorry.

You've already changed your clothes, it must've been a while since you got home.

Yes.

- And dinner? - I told you I'd eat out.

Did you eat well?

If it's not enough, you can have some more. We had some ox-blood soup.

I ate enough.

It's cold!

If you're not going to come in, close the door, our Ji Min's going to get a cold.

All right. Rest up.

Alright.

The crows are all frozen and dead in the yard.

How's business at father's store?

He's not the type to talk about business.

If he had bought a ton of gold with the money he's been saving all this time,

he'll make a huge profit.

Father has some gold that he bought when it was cheap, right?

I don't know.

Even if he had built a pavilion out of gold, I wouldn't know about it.

You can't make that much from a neighborhood shop, we don't have the luxury of buying gold.

Neither your family or her brother can give as much attention to Seo Yeon as I can.

I'm Seo Yeon's man.

I only want to do what I should be doing by her side.

Don't doubt me.

It's the truth.

Later, before I become someone who isn't me,

I don't want to cause pain to our family.

I can't be happy about it.

But I'll say, "Yes, that's what they told me, it can't be helped."

I'll lay that out there for them and laugh when I need to,

acting like I always have.

I don't think it's necessary to hurry and lose myself already.

Aren't you hungry?

No.

It's about time for you to start feeling hungry.

Not yet, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself.

What is this?

Why is it tied so tightly?

They're dumplings.

They're too old. Guess I'll have to throw them out.

They're not old.

Aunt brought it over last time.

Oh.

I thought it was from a while back.

How many should I steam?

- Are you hungry? - Five? Five is enough, right?

I told you I'm okay right now.

- What time is it right now? - It should be about ten thirty.

I'm way off.

I thought it was around twelve.

The manuscript you handed in... you handed it in, right?

Of course.

Did they like it?

Why?

Just because.

Don't worry, I'm still fine.

I'm going to sleep.

Dumpling, chief, Wednesday, Sunday, Sunday...

No... seven, double portion,

train, next generation, measure.

Who is it?

It's me.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Did something happen at home?

Come and sit.

I couldn't sleep with things as they are.

Yes.

Has she said anything to you?

No.

Did you meet her again?

I wanted to tell her that it would be difficult to hold the wedding right now, that she should wait.

Why do you keep meeting her?

She said she has Alzheimer's!

Even if she wasn't sick, how could you have gone over your father's head like that?

Don't you think you're being too harsh to us?

How could you have thought to do such a reckless thing?

I couldn't have imagined she'd tell you that.

So you were going to get married while hiding it from us?

If not, would you have given your consent?

If you were going to go through with such a wedding,

our consent didn't matter to you in the first place!

Without knowing she was sick,

I wanted to at least get your permission.

Fine, I know now, I know.

I can't allow it. What are you going to do?

Answer me!

I'm still going to do it.

I know what you're thinking.

I know it's a selfish act that you can't possibly accept.

But Mom, please don't think that for her sake I'm sacrificing myself.

That's not it.

I'm doing this because I need her, because I want to be by her side.

And what will become of your future?

I love her.

When she laughs, cries...

Her warmth, her coldness...

When she's gentle, angry...

Her thoughts, her stubbornness, pride, truthfulness, transparency...

I love all of it.

Ji Hyung.

She even told you about her illness in order to reject me.

It's not because she hates me, but for my sake.

But I'm acting not for her sake, but for my own.

I want her.

Without her, I'm a scarecrow.

Mother.

Mom.

Just know that love doesn't just exist during happy times.

There are many admirable people in this world,

who faithfully love and stay by their sick husband or wife.

I admire and feel touched watching those people.

But... now that it regards my son, I can't feel that way.

Mom...

You are as precious to me as she is to you.

How could I let you go down that path?

I can't do that.

I'm sorry.

You can't.

I'm truly sorry.

No matter what, you can't.

- I'm sorry. - I said you can't!

Would you like me to take you home?

It's okay.

You can't.

Go.

I feel terrible for her.

But you're my son.

You can't.

I'm the only one she has.

- Chairman, welcome. - Hello.

- It's been a while. - Hello.

What's your sister doing?

She said she was feeling stifled, she went out for a bit.

It's the middle of the night...

Come and sit.

How ridiculous.

Coming into your house at this time of night,

I would've expected Hyang Gi to run down those steps asking why I was here.

Come and sit.

There is something incredibly wrong here.

I was even expecting a grandson or granddaughter by next fall.

I feel the same way.

What would you like?

- Oh, can I get a cup of ice water? - Yes.

You said you wanted another drink.

It's okay.

Seeing the stairs in this house leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I'll just have a glass of water and leave.

I get drunk so quickly now, I've become old.

Just last year I didn't notice anything,

but over the span of one year, I can't even clear my head.

You drank quite a bit.

You didn't even reject one drink those doctors offered you.

Doctor Ji said that starting from next year,

he wants to have a symposium regarding gastrointestinal cancer.

I talked to him about it last time.

Yeah, I think I heard about it.

Whatever you decide,

matters of the hospital are in your jurisdiction so it doesn't really matter.

But Doctor Ji doesn't know how to drink.

He talks too much.

Starting from his opinion on the treatment system,

he endlessly talks about things that I don't even ask about.

As a thank you-dinner for a successful symposium,

must I listen to his endless, boring drivel?

That's just his habit.

Well, he's no longer chief of the cancer center.

Unni's back, Hyungboo.

The chairman is here.

Oh, hello, Chairman.

After we successfully completed the symposium with the doctors from the cancer center,

I took them out to dinner.

I see.

While having dinner, we also had some drinks.

I didn't feel like going home just yet, so I followed him here,

but I suddenly lost my desire.

So I just had a glass of water and I was just about to leave.

I see.

You see that over there?

Those were the steps Hyang Gi should have been coming down from.

I'm very disappointed.

Yes, we are as well.

Oh Hyun Ah, Hyang Gi's mother, says that he had an affair,

but Director Park vehemently denied it so I know it's not true.

But whether it's true or not, I truly feel disappointed.

I'm very disappointed, Doctor Kang.

I know.

Let's go out, let's go out.

Soo Jung, I'll be leaving now.

Yes, good bye.

Where did you go?

Hyungboo wasn't happy about it.

What's wrong with the seasons?

It's already cold.

I know, I think winter is in too much of a haste.

Don't you feel it as well?

For some reason, in the pit of my stomach I feel anger.

There's no reason in particular I should be feeling that way,

but for some reason, I keep feeling anger.

Yeah. I know.

All right.

Let's smooth this over.

As long as you know... Go in.

Did you take the car?

Yeah.

Where did you go?

I wanted to see my son, so I went to see him.

Think of your age.

I told you not to drive at night.

It only takes a split second.

Don't put me in a tough situation.

I'm careful.

I don't even trust myself to drive.

It's a matter of chance.

If we die, we'll die; if we live, we'll live.

I went to Hyang Gi's house.

Why?

She came back from her trip overseas, wondered why I hadn't called and wanted me to stop by.

She bought me a wallet.

How thankful.

Right.

How's Hyang Gi?

She's at home, she looked fine.

Bastard.

Let's see how he pays for what he's done to Hyang Gi.

How could you utter such curses against your son?

What are the chances that the girl he's picked while blinded by love is his best choice?

You think there'll be another girl as good as Hyang Gi?

Stupid fool.

Love is not a business.

Marriage is a choice with your entire life in the balance.

I'm tired, let's stop this.

It's because you think that way that he's turned out like that.

All right, everything is my fault, I'm sorry for not listening to you.

But while you're showering, just think back to how we got married.

I didn't listen to my parents either.

Our marriage was not easy either.

But we still lived well.

Don't utter such curses against him.

It's frightening.

All right, I'll cancel it.

I'll cancel it.

Fine.

Ji Hyung, you can't, listen to your mom.

I'll help her in your stead, so you stay out of it, all right?

It's not that I don't understand you.

I understand how you're feeling,

and that's why it hurts so much.

But... you still can't.

I can't allow you to do it.

I'm sorry.

But no matter how many times I think about it,

I can't allow you to go through with it.

Mom, do you want me to live my entire life,

wracked by guilt, regretting and longing for her?

Is that what you call living?

No matter how much time may pass,

if I surrender now without having done anything,

I'll never be able to let her go until she dies.

When she needed me, when she really needed me,

I ignored her and didn't do anything.

There's nothing I've done for her, how can I let her go?

I gave birth to you.

You were created in my womb.

The only person who can die in your stead is your mom...

How can you ignore my words?

I don't need any apologies!

How could you do this to your parents?

How can you be so cruel?

Please try to understand me.

Forgive me.

You should let me go, all right?

How could you say such a thing?

How could you...

How...

Love, ove... love... ove...

langbo, treasure island, island virgin. (vocabulary game: make word with last word in Korean)

Woman, freedom, ruins, installment,

Friday, no... gold coin, fossil,

saint, coordinates... leopard.

Mom, do you want me to live my entire life,

wracked by guilt, regretting and longing for her?

No matter how much time may pass,

if I surrender now without having done anything,

I'll never be able to let her go until she dies.

When she needed me, when she really needed me,

I ignored her and didn't do anything.

There's nothing I've done for her, how can I let her go?

I told him I was envious of his great parents.

Of course.

I feel the same way you do.

Unni, it's Mrs. Hong.

One moment please.

Yes, speaking.

Yes, I'm fine.

Yes.

Yes, well we've been friends for quite a while.

We didn't want our relationship to suffer because of our children.

No, Chairman No and his wife are the ones who are understanding.

Yes.

Yes, we think so too.

Yes, thank you.

Yes.

Yes, of course, we should see each other.

Yes, yes, good bye.

I guess she didn't hear the rumor that our Ji Hyung is impotent.

Do you really want to say such things?

I mean, it just sounded like she didn't mention it.

Why have you been so moody lately?

I told you not to worry about it.

As long as we don't worry about it, why should we care about what others are saying?

Just because people say such things...

doesn't mean Ji Hyung's really going to turn out that way.

I changed my lesson today because my teacher's schedule conflicted with mine.

I'm going to study.

Hi David.

No, I'm ready. What is today's topic?

- Hello. - Have you been well?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, all right.

All right, I said all right.

All right, I'm sorry, yes.

Here.

I don't need to count this, right?

Yes, we just got it from the bank.

Good bye.

Does she need it for her rent?

Her son was imprisoned for assault.

- Settlement money? - Yes.

No wonder she's sighing.

Myung Hee's going to take care of dinner.

Take your medicine.

One step ahead of you, I already took it.

Good bye.

For our first round we'll have dinner, then on to karaoke for our second stop,

let's take our time and then go to a club at the end.

The day after tomorrow you're going to be taking an extended break, all right?

- All right? - I'm old, I can't last until that hour.

The team manager and I will leave after karaoke, so the three of you can stay.

If you don't enjoy yourself while you're young, you'll regret it later.

It's been a while, why don't we have some fun, Team Manager?

I'm going to leave after dinner, I brought my car.

Team Manager...

Come on, you should go too.

You should go.

Team Manager, it's coming from your bag.

Oh.

I'm at Pyeongtaek because of work.

Have a light dinner before you leave.

You don't need to reply back.

You should get a hearing exam.

I think you're having trouble hearing.

It's okay, I only hear what I want to hear.

Who is it?

Someone I like. This is what you wanted to hear, right?

Wow, what's this? Did you give up keeping it a secret?

- Am I secretive? - Oh my, see, this is what I mean.

People don't know about their own flaws.

Today's point.

"Am I secretive?"

Yes.
