Seung-wan...

Has your heart skipped a beat in the presence of another person since we got married?

Mine has.

Some days when I see him, I feel like my heart's going to break into pieces, it hurts so much.

And some days, I'm happy just seeing his face.

Wonderful Life - Episode 11 - Red Lizard VS. Fearless Schoolgirl Round 2: Shin-bi's Silent Protest

- MIRAE HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. -

What?

Here.

What is it?

Are you going?

Of course, it's my High School alumni meeting.

Where are you going? You don't have school today.

I have a study group.

Why aren't you wearing your uniform?

I don't wear it every day of the year.

It's in the washing machine.

I'll do it for you.

Hey!

Sorry.

How's work?

It's only been a week.

You don't have to work if it's tiring for you.

You're the studious type.

You could work part-time,

and study for the civil service exam again.

No, work is fun.

It's fun?

I see...

Come here for a second.

Why?

You said that makes one more approachable.

Yes, it looks natural.

Oh no! You're going to be late if you change. Sorry!

It's okay. I'm not working today.

I'm meeting Hyun-joo. She wants to buy me an outfit.

I can tell her I'll be late.

Really?

Yes?

Hyun-joo.

Oh my! What a surprise to see you, Chae-young!

I'm sorry I didn't come to see you sooner.

I've been busy at work.

It's all right. Thanks for coming.

Congratulations on your twin sons.

Thanks.

This is for the twins. I hope they fit.

Thank you so much.

Then buy me lunch.

Let's go to the noodle shop we used to frequent.

I'm sorry, but I have plans.

Hyun-joo.

Hi.

My father-in-law asked me to help her get an outfit to celebrate her new job.

Great.

I was planning to go to the boutique where I used to work.

Do you want to go with me?

Thanks to Chae-young, shopping was easy, wasn't it?

Yes...

You married Seung-wan's brother when you were both in the 10th grade.

Seung-wan opposed your marriage because he thought you'd be too controlling.

I know.

He gave me such a hard time.

He was just a young boy, but I felt like hitting him.

I shouldn't say that. He's a father now.

That's right. We shouldn't, Se-jin might feel...

It's all right. It's more interesting

than the red lizard story...

I should go home and make dinner.

Okay, go ahead.

Excuse me.

Yes, Dr. Kang.

You must've gotten close to even know about the red lizard incident.

Yes, we don't have any secrets from each other.

Really? Then did he tell you about the incident 8 years ago?

What incident 8 years ago?

He didn't tell you?

What is it?

I'm sorry, but I can't tell you if he didn't.

It's nothing.

Ask Seung-wan yourself if you're curious.

Why aren't you married yet?

No one's proposed to me yet.

I always thought you and Seung-wan would end up getting married.

What happened between the two of you?

It doesn't take a lot to break up a relationship.

I guess Father likes Se-jin. He's even buying her clothes now?

He had to because of Seung-wan's threats.

Threats?

He intends on trying his best since there's only a year left of their marriage. He's finally grown up.

What do you mean there's only a year left?

What did you want to speak to me about?

We could talk at the office if it's not urgent.

It's not urgent, but I thought it might be good news for you.

I have some interesting information.

Should I tell you?

What?

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

What happened between you and Chae-young 8 years ago?

Did you see Chae-young today?

I ran into her at the hospital when I went to see Hyun-joo.

She must've been close to Hyun-joo.

Did she used to come to your house often?

We've been friends since high school.

You do the dishes.

You're not going to tell me?

Ask Chae-young if you're curious.

She told me to ask you.

I can't tell you if she didn't.

Why?

Because it's between me and Chae-young.

What is it? Tell me.

I'm even more curious now that you don't want to tell me.

I told you it's between me and Chae-young.

Did you two belong to a religious cult or something?

- Jung Se-jin. - Or were you conspiring to jeopardize national security?

I told you it's between me and Chae-young!

What is it? Did you talk about robbing a bank?

Or were you going to leave the country together?

Jung Se-jin.

What was it? Did you two have a one night stand?

She's not like you!

That's right. I'm not her.

I could never be her no matter what.

Are you busy right now?

Jerk.

I thought you liked him because he's like a brother and a friend.

What brother?

I'm worried Shin-bi might meet a man like her father.

But you said you're becoming a lot like him.

You said you were happy the three of you were becoming a lot like each other.

Well...

You said you learned marriage doesn't kill a person's feelings.

You said you feel nervous when you're with him.

So what's wrong?

Jung Se-jin.

You're hurting me!

Let go of her hand.

Do you remember our prenuptial agreement,

Term 3: we'll stay out of each other's private lives?

I want to change that.

I'll interfere when you're with a guy who gets on my nerves.

I said it hurts!

I told you not to smile at just anyone.

Haven't you heard the unpleasant rumor

about you and Do-hyun going around your workplace?

Unpleasant rumor? What rumor?

They're saying the two of you have a romantic relationship,

and that you got the job because of him!

Who told you that?

What have you been doing to cause people to say things like that about you?

It's because you've been behaving inappropriately.

Who told you that anyway?

Your boss Chae-young told me! Satisfied?

So she's now made me out to be easy?

Who told me isn't important.

Then what is important?

You heard it from Chae-young, not just anyone.

And it's not just any guy we're talking about.

You're angry because Do-hyun's involved.

You're just worried Chae-young might get hurt because of me and Do-hyun!

Stop being so sensitive. She's just a friend.

And Do-hyun's just my boss at work.

Jung Se-jin!

Stop yelling at me!

You have no right to tell me what to do.

I warned you I'd interfere if you're with a guy who gets on my nerves.

You can do whatever you want when we're divorced, but not now.

All right. Can I have a boyfriend?

They only have a year left in their marriage.

Do you like him by any chance? Tell me.

Does he make your heart beat faster and change your mood from day to day?

Does he cause you to make mistakes and say things you don't mean?

Never mind.

Tell me! Why can't you tell me?

Do you like him?

Han Seung-wan!

Mom.

Sorry. Shin-bi said she had the keys.

She opened the door before we could stop her.

Did you two fight?

No, we didn't fight.

Why didn't you call before you came?

I'm sorry. Shin-bi missed you and kept crying.

I'm sorry. We should go now.

Why did you tell Chae-young?

It just slipped out. I hope they're going to be okay.

Every married couples fight.

But they seemed pretty angry.

And yes, all married couples fight,

but not all of them make up.

Stop saying such things.

I'm just worried about Shin-bi.

Why?

She wasn't born out of love.

And when she was born, people fought over her.

It breaks my heart to think her parents might break up,

and Shin-bi might get hurt.

They're more mature now. They'll be all right.

They should try to work it out for Shin-bi's sake.

Shin-bi, you can sleep with me.

No, sleep with me.

Don't confuse her.

My sentiments exactly. I can't trust you with her.

What do you mean by that?

What?

What do you mean you can't trust me with her?

You should know.

You sure are saying some strange things! What am I supposed to know?

Stop picking fights with me. Never mind. I'm tired.

I can't trust you with Shin-bi.

Jung Se-jin!

I want to go to Mr. Min.

Don't cry. I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

Shin-bi, tell your mom I'm taking you to kindergarten.

Mom, Dad says he's...

Tell your dad I appreciate it, but I'll take you.

Dad, Mom's going to...

Shin-bi, tell her she doesn't have to worry about you

since she must be busy with work.

Shin-bi, tell your dad I appreciate his concern, but he should take care of his own business.

I'll pick up Shin-bi after work.

Shin-bi, tell your mom not to bother.

Mr. Min!

Shin-bi!

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Stop paying attention to Shin-bi.

You must have your hands full anyway.

Why don't you two car pool? That would be nice.

Shin-bi, you know you're going to Grandpa's after school?

Why aren't you answering me?

Don't you remember you're staying at Grandpa's 3 days a week?

You don't want to answer?

All right. Go on in before you're late. Go on.

You should keep your eye on the road.

Here's your mail.

Thanks.

Good morning, Mr. Min.

Come in.

It's a great morning, isn't it Se-jin?

The weather's bad this morning.

- MIRAE HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. -

Did you ask Seung-wan?

Yes. It wasn't much of anything.

I told you it was nothing.

It was just immature kids acting up.

What?

Why are you doing this?

What do you mean?

Did you two fight because of me?

I just tested you and Seung-wan for your own good.

An expiration date for a relationship

is dependent on how many secrets the couple shares

and how much they trust each other with those secrets.

What do you mean by expiration?

Don't be angry that I wanted to test you to discover your relationship's expiration date.

What do you mean by expiration date?

Why are you playing dumb?

I'm talking about the expiration date on your marriage.

You should keep your eye on the road.

Yes?

They're ready for a meeting.

All right.

The top priority for us is to draw up a plan to make the theater profitable.

Another priority is the branch we're building in Ansan.

That's enough.

So we need to discuss how much space we'll use for the cultural part of the business.

What if we turn the theater in Bundang into a store?

More children are going to musicals,

but not enough for us to turn a profit.

The fact that we can't charge much for musicals

is another reason we can't turn a profit.

I beg to differ.

I believe companies have a responsibility to take part in social issues.

A positive image is important for a company.

Ms. Jung, we're not a non-profit organization.

We exist to make a profit, and it is our goal.

I'm not saying we shouldn't devote some part of our business to culture.

But we should postpone it for a while.

We're trying to appeal to more customers.

One way to do this is to participate in cultural events.

And that's good for business in the long run.

We'll increase loyalty among our customers by keeping the theaters open.

If we can keep dreams alive for children, wouldn't that be good for the future of the company?

I appreciate your idea.

But you're talking about utopia, not reality.

What?

Ms. Lee, you should go ahead with...

Everything in life is either utopia or realistic, isn't it?

I'll prove to you my idea isn't fantasy, that it's realistic and could actually work.

How could you tell him that?

I had to because they pushed me to be stubborn.

So you told him you'd have the proposal ready by tomorrow morning?

I'll try my best.

Ever since you had a baby, you've become fearless.

You have to know how to be flexible.

You have a family.

Actually, it's for the best.

I'll only end up fighting with Seung-wan if I go home early.

I should concentrate on work.

You two fought again? I thought you were doing better.

What do you care what we fought about?

As your neighbor, I'm worried.

I moved next door because I thought

we'd all be good neighbors.

But it's not working out that way!

Then move!

Move, and take that jerk Do-hyun with you.

Come to the alumni meeting with Se-jin and...

I'm not going.

Why? Because of Chae-young?

You don't have to worry. She's not coming.

So you should come. I'll be there.

You're only going to fight with Se-jin if you go home now.

Considering sales at the theater in Bundang,

we should decrease our allotment to culture

and increase the number of stores to maximize profitability.

Studying abroad has been a waste of money for you.

Contributing to culture is a requirement, not an option for our company.

Concentrating on selling toys doesn't fulfill the company's business plan.

We have to find ways to compensate for it in other areas.

How can you look only at short-term goals?

I expected something special from you. I guess my expectations were too high.

I'll do it again.

You're still working?

What's the progress?

What?

The idea you presented earlier.

It's just in the beginning stage.

Bring it to me when you've made some progress. Let's work on it together.

- MIRAE HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ARE AT A BEER HALL... -

They're already gone on to drinks after dinner.

Chae-young...

Didn't you say you couldn't come?

I lied because I thought you'd stay away.

It's been so long! It hasn't changed a bit.

Aren't you going to the alumni meeting?

Let's take a look around school a little more.

They keep calling me.

Turn it off like I did.

Look, it's still there! You know I'm good at that.

Chae-young.

We need a strategy to show it's different from other places to take kids.

Do you have anything in mind?

What would mothers think when they come here?

I don't know.

A place they can trust their husbands to bring the kids to.

A place the whole family can visit on the weekends.

And?

When the fathers come, all they do is look bored.

So how about a special area for the fathers?

We have an area for them on the rooftop.

No, I'm not talking about that.

They could use a space where they could relax comfortably.

Fathers could come and meet other fathers. And they could have a good time socializing with each other.

That would make adults want to come as well as bring their kids.

That's great.

The attention span of children under 5 is very short.

So we should put on short musicals, no longer than 20 minutes.

We should also have booster seats for little kids.

Coming here reminds me of the old days.

We used to sit here, look up at the sky,

and talk well into the night.

Do you remember?

I remember.

I acted like a rich girl, but my mom's creditors came to school and the kids found out.

They isolated me. Do you remember?

I remember.

You helped me then.

Everyone turned their backs on me,

and my pride was shattered.

But you were the only one who reached out to me.

You should forget it now.

Forget what?

Everything.

What happened then, the old me...

Just everything...

Seung-wan.

It wasn't easy for me to forget you

because I liked you when I was most naive and innocent.

But I'm trying to forget you. It's working gradually.

Why do you have to forget me?

I don't want Se-jin to get hurt.

Se-jin...

I understand what you're saying. I understand.

I hope you won't talk to Se-jin about us.

And you don't have to tell me about Se-jin.

We'll work out our problems ourselves.

The incident 8 years ago is very important to me too.

So I hope you don't let misunderstandings

or suspicions ruin it.

Bye.

How despicable you are, acting like a rich girl!

She's shameless!

It makes my skin crawl to think how she deceived us!

They ran away holding hands.

I saw them too.

They were acting as if they were in a movie or something.

Lee Chae-young.

LEE CHAE-YOUNG, I LOVE YOU

Chae-young!

I love you!

It would be nice if you could see a person's heart laid open, like a blueprint.

It'd be nice to know how much space there is in his heart,

who's in that space, and where I am...

Then I'd know what I could fill the space with...

Agree?

Jerk.

He doesn't even call when I haven't come home at this hour.

Let's go.

I can't get a grasp of things just sitting here.

Let's take a look around the store.

How much longer are we going to work tonight?

I think Seung-wan might worry.

Ms. Jung.

Yes?

Let's only talk about work when we're working.

Let's only talk about work when you're with me.

Ms. Jung.

We can't only work. We have to laugh and joke too.

You seemed really scared.

I thought I'd have a heart attack.

You worked hard today.

No, actually, you made me feel better.

Then you should make up with your husband.

I'll make up with him before midnight.

Hey, Jung Se-jin.

You didn't even call, and you were with him?

I made her ride with me, even though she insisted on taking the subway.

I wasn't speaking to you.

Hey! Han Seung-wan!

Why didn't you come to the alumni meeting?

You didn't go to your alumni meeting?

I...

You and Chae-young disappeared together... What did you two do?

Where did you go?

Why did you drink again?

You shouldn't be like that! You should think about Se-jin.

Hey, don't even try to deny it! Someone saw you two disappear together!

Did you really work until now?

What else could we have done until now?

Who knows... You could've gone to a karaoke club.

Weren't you with Chae-young until now?

So we're even, and I should keep my mouth shut?

You got it.

Yes, I did see Chae-young, but only briefly,

and then I came home.

Why? You don't believe me?

Sure, you've never believed me.

That's what I should be saying to you.

Think whatever you want.

Only responsibility and duty exist between us,

not trust.

Let's just go on living as we have.

Hey, Seung-wan.

Hello? Yes, Father.

Shin-bi? What's wrong with Shin-bi?

Shin-bi, does it hurt a lot?

Do you want to eat something?

Aren't you going to talk to us?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Take her inside, and put her to sleep.

Shin-bi, let's get your medicine.

Shin-bi...

Just what did you do for her, kids?

Do you even care for her?

How could you not know she had a cold?

Her teacher called and said she thought it was strange that Shin-bi didn't talk all day.

Are you two really husband and wife?

Do you have any right to be parents?

It's not easy to be a parent.

Children are very sensitive and vulnerable!

I thought you two finally matured because you finally seemed considerate of each other's feelings.

But that didn't last very long!

I'm sorry.

Never mind. Go home.

What about Shin-bi?

I'll call you when she gets better, so go home.

There are 2 doctors in the house.

So don't worry. Just go home.

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi, you should look at your mom and dad.

Shin-bi, won't you even say bye to me?

Say just one word, Shin-bi.

What did you say?

I said your proposal's been accepted.

Really?

Yes, really.

One more thing. You have to go on a business trip.

A business trip?

The president wants you to go to Ansan,

take a look around the site, and submit a final plan.

I see...

Is something the matter?

No, nothing.

Tell me. Your face says otherwise.

Actually, about the business trip...

Isn't it enough we gave you, a married woman,

an opportunity to work?

It's nothing. I'll get ready to leave for the trip.

Bye.

WIFE

It's me, Se-jin. Can you talk now?

Yes, go ahead.

You know that Shin-bi's coming home today.

I was going to pick her up,

but I have to go on a business trip.

A business trip?

Yes. I know you have a class,

but I didn't want to ask anyone else.

I'll pick her up, so don't worry. Go on your trip.

Bye.

Seung-wan.

I'm sorry.

I heard you and Se-jin fought again

because I put my foot in my mouth.

Who told you that we fought again?

Do-hyun was very worried about you two.

He's still on my case about my mistake that night.

Where are you going? You should forgive me!

Aren't you going to class?

Shin-bi, come to Daddy.

What did you learn today?

You didn't fight with your friends today?

Do you want to go to daddy's school?

Let's go.

This is your dad's school.

I brought you here when you were a baby.

Do you remember?

You cried in class, and I had to change your diaper.

And you threw up when I tried to burp you.

And you drooled all over my books and cell phone.

You don't remember giving me a hard time?

You and I hadn't bonded yet.

I was immature and thought you and your mom had taken my youth away.

I was a fool, wasn't I?

Shin-bi, Mom and Dad are sorry.

We fought in front of you and yelled at each other.

We scared you and made you worry.

But it's not because we don't love you.

We grown-ups sometimes hide our feelings and say things we don't mean.

That's why we have misunderstandings and get jealous and suspicious.

But it's not because your mom and dad don't like each other.

It's because we like each other a lot.

Shin-bi, what's wrong?

Seung-wan, I'm mad at you.

Shin-bi.

I'm mad at Se-jin, too.

Yes, I know you're mad.

I'm mad at you, Seung-wan.

I'm mad at Se-jin.

Don't cry.

I'm sorry.

Your mom and dad will make up.

Don't cry.

Yes?

Let's go to the site.

All right.

You're like an angel! You're just adorable!

Shin-bi, say "Uncle, I love you."

Uncle, I love you.

My heart is breaking!

Aren't you going to tell Se-jin?

I'll tell her in person.

In person? You're going to visit her?

Yes, I promised Shin-bi I'd make up with Se-jin.

Okay, put this on. I'll put mine on.

This is SW. Respond SB roger.

This is SB, respond roger.

Good.

Shin-bi, wave to the birds.

Hi.

Hyun-joo, it's me. Is Shin-bi sleeping?

She's sleeping right now. She'll be all right.

How's her fever?

I'll answer your call as soon as I can.

Hyun-joo, take good care of Shin-bi.

Don't worry, and make up with Se-jin.

I'll answer your call as soon as I can.

All right, then. Bye.

Jung Se-jin, wait for me. I'm on my way.

I miss you Shin-bi... I miss you, Han Seung-wan.

Yes?

Are you surprised?

What are you doing here?

I came with the designers.

I thought I'd stop by to check on how you were doing

since you seemed upset earlier.

Is everything okay?

Tell me. We're friends.
