Hey, what's the occasion this early in the morning?

I was taken aback by the news article.

Is Ju Won okay?

A news article? What about Ju Won?

Yoon Seo, I think I should go back to Seoul right away.

Yes, I'll call you later.

The husband of AL Group's chairwoman Kim Seon Ju,

CEO Seo Dong Jin of AL Global,

has shocked people after it was revealed that he has been living...

with a mistress in New York for the past two years.

CEO Seo has disclosed that his marriage to Chairwoman Kim...

was already broken before he arrived in New York.

He claims the discord began after he lost in the general election...

and that they have been married in appearance only,

leaving nothing but distrust between them.

People are expecting a divorce suit of the century...

Yes, I understand. Please review it once more.

Yes, sir.

What happened?

Father has asked for a divorce,

and I think Mother will prepare for the lawsuit.

Have you known about it?

Well, I expected as much,

but I didn't know he would go public with it like this.

As Father wanted,

the public opinion is going in a bad direction for Mother.

What about Mother?

Where is she now?

You must've been taken aback as I asked to see you amid all this.

I'll get straight to the point.

Your marriage with Ju Won...

I'll allow it.

But under one condition.

You should take charge of our scholarship foundation.

The scholarship foundation?

With rumours of arranged marriages and power trips,

the atmosphere on our side isn't too great at the moment.

We need a way to restore our image again.

So, let's open up about your entire background...

and proceed with your marriage.

Live as...

a proper Cinderella.

(Cinderella at 2AM)

(Makirae, Craft Makgeolli)

The scholarship foundation?

Gosh, no way.

Then will you become someone high up,

like a chairwoman or a director?

Figures. It would be weird for the youngest daughter-in-law...

of AL Group to work at a different company.

And even if you do, everyone will find you uncomfortable.

It is pretty unrealistic.

But in order for me to take charge of the scholarship foundation,

I have to open up about my entire family history.

What? Why would you open up about your family history?

Well, the atmosphere at the company isn't great these days.

What? Because of the conglomerate family power trip issues?

Hey, but that's because that guy had an affair...

and was saying he had it hard...

in that family to justify his affair.

Still, people seemed to buy it.

So, I think she believes that if Ju Won marries me,

someone who grew up...

in a worse-than-average household,

the company image will change.

She must be crazy.

Are you all right?

Honestly, I'm fine now...

since my family history isn't my fault.

But I feel bad about Ji Seok.

You're right. Ji Seok won't feel good if he reads articles like that.

Hey, but your personal details will go public someday anyhow.

And it's very likely that people talk about...

how you've gone up in class status and whatnot.

But if they just release an article from your perspective,

wouldn't that be better to spin the story how you want to?

That way, later on...

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, hey, Ji Seok.

I told him to stop by to give him some cooking utensils.

Ji Seok, come in. You haven't eaten, have you?

- Hey, Ji Seok. - Ji Seok.

Hey, Ji Seok!

- Oh, my! - Hey, I'll be going now.

Hey...

(Makirae, Craft Makgeolli)

Ji Seok!

("AL Group's CEO Seo Dong Jin Living With Mistress in New York")

(Director Seo Ju Won)

(1 Unread message)

This is Ha Ji Seok.

I can meet you if I go to AL CARD, right?

(Yoon Seo)

You're here. What's going on?

I'm the one who wants to ask. What's going on right now?

Is this why you started seeing my sister again?

To sell our past and use it?

Does my sister's painful past only look like an opportunity to you?

What are you saying...

I heard you were trying to cover up the bad press you've been getting...

about your family's power trip with my sister's story.

To make you guys look good...

as a conglomerate family that took in a poor girl!

What?

Did you not know that the chairwoman told my sister to do that?

Isn't that also a problem?

I was hoping you weren't here...

Go home for now, okay? I'll explain everything later.

Forget it. There's nothing to explain.

I've already heard everything. And I can never accept it.

Why would you get married while being treated like this?

You're someone I feel the most proud of.

- Come on. Let's talk at home. - Let go of me!

- Quickly! - Isn't that Ju Won?

- Let go of me. - Quickly.

Hey, Seo Ju Won.

What's going on?

Really?

Mother really made you that kind of offer?

That was very rude of her.

I'll apologize on her behalf.

Where are you going?

You know.

Why are you stopping me? Will you tell me to sit back again?

Why do you keep making me look like a fool?

I'm not making you look like a fool.

I'm saying we shouldn't make this go the worst way possible.

I'm not the one making things the worst. It's Mother.

Don't you know?

There's no need to think emotionally.

I understand the chairwoman.

Understand what? Why do you always understand her?

She seemed precarious.

She looked like someone standing on the edge of a cliff.

Even when she was being attacked after the articles were released,

she came to see me first.

That's how desperate she was.

I get that you're angry.

You can get angry anytime.

But...

now is the only time you can console her.

The chairwoman is on the edge of a cliff already.

I hope you don't push her.

I just wish you'd hug her now.

That's what family is about.

(Did something happen with the chairwoman?)

(- What's going on? - What's it like over there?)

My goodness, seriously.

Why are they asking me about the chairwoman?

It's not like I'm Director Seo's secretary.

If it had been back in the day,

I would've thought of this as the chairwoman's business.

But now, I think of it as something happening to the parent...

of someone I know. I feel kind of bad.

I know, right?

If you think about the whole country knowing about...

your parents' divorce because of your dad's affair...

Gosh! Seriously.

By the way, this is a secret,

but after I was promoted to manager,

I bought some of our company's stocks.

I thought my great performance might make the company better.

But our company's stock prices won't drop because of this, right?

Gosh, they can't drop.

I was saying...

I didn't want my tie clip to drop.

I bought a cheap one to imitate you, Director Seo...

What was that? Did something happen again?

I think something just happened to me.

You don't think he heard about the stock prices, do you?

What if I get demoted right after becoming a manager?

What do you want to tell me in private?

If you're going to take Mother's side, don't.

Hey, I can't defend her for that.

But...

I think what Yoon Seo said was right.

How about you put aside your anger for now...

and be a family member for her?

Well, Mother has never really been a motherly person to us,

but we've never been nice to her as sons either.

Actually,

Mi Jin once invited Mother to my house after you left home.

She said Mother seemed lonely.

Both Mi Jin...

and Yoon Seo could see Mother's weakness.

But only us, her sons, couldn't see it.

(Counterclaim)

Mother.

Oh, what brings you here together at this hour?

If you're here because you're worried about your inheritance,

I'll make sure he can't touch what's meant for you.

Don't worry.

Let's go and have fun, Mother.

- "Have fun?" - Yes.

Let's take time off and have a cheat day.

"A cheat day?"

You little punk. How could you say such a thing?

- That word is banned. - Oh, right.

Mother.

Let's not have a cheat day. Let's go and lift our moods.

Forget it.

I have so much to take care of. I don't have time for that.

So, just take care of those things later.

Let's cool our heads first.

- Hey, grab her coat. - Okay.

- Mother. - Oh, my. Hey!

- Gosh, hey. What... - Hang on. Help me.

- Boys. - Here we go.

- Hey, I'll get her. - I'll get her legs.

Gosh, you're as light as a feather.

Hey, what are you doing?

- Gosh. - Here we go.

- What's wrong with you? - Seriously, how are you so light?

This is awkward.

Right? You've always sat in the backseat.

That's not what I mean.

Taking a cheat day...

I mean...

Going out to lift our moods.

It feels strange.

Right.

I'm sure we're the only family that has never had an outing together.

But you know,

I haven't been able to do this because I was busy.

I've always cared and worried about you more than anyone.

Hey, Seo Ju Won.

Don't sit there like the boss and take out the lunch box.

- A lunch box? - Yes.

You want to eat in the car?

Yes, in case you were hungry on the way there,

I asked Ms. Park to prepare something simple.

So, we especially prepared a shrimp sandwich which you like.

- Shrimp? - Sounds good, right?

I don't eat shrimp these days because of my high cholesterol.

Didn't you know?

Then, how about some tomato juice which is good for your skin?

- Hey, tomato juice. - Okay.

Tomato? I don't like tomatoes.

I don't like how bland it tastes.

Didn't you know?

Gosh, Mother.

You can't be such a picky eater at your age.

You should eat a balanced diet to grow big and...

Oh, I guess you're done growing. Right.

Then, let's eat something good when we arrive.

We'll go to the sea with a great view...

- The sea? - Yes.

Ever since I nearly fell off a yacht,

I have had a traumatic memory of the sea.

Didn't you know?

Well...

We can take our time to learn about you.

Let's make today about that, Mother.

Then, let's pass on going to the sea.

Which mountain is close by?

- Si Won, - What?

shall we listen to the radio on our way there?

Hey, that sounds good.

Mother, you like listening to the news, right?

(Radio)

This time, we'll hear about this week's hot topics.

It's being called the divorce suit of the century.

Everyone has been talking about the divorce of the AL Group couple.

What do you think about this?

- What? - What?

What's this?

Why is this slowing down?

Hey, you're out of fuel.

What?

What?

But...

What on earth...

Yes, I understand.

Secretary Kim is coming now.

We should wait for whoever gets here first,

the insurance company or Secretary Kim.

Hey, how could you not even know that the car was out of fuel?

Well, it's not like I refuel the car myself.

I've never cared about that stuff my whole life.

By the way, I think we should move the car to that side.

We could get that far, couldn't we?

Well, if you and Mother give it a push.

What? You want me to push the car?

Wouldn't it be hard for Ju Won to do it alone?

- What will you be doing? - I should steer the car.

Of course, it is a bit awkward for you to push the car,

but you don't have a driver's license.

You said you couldn't drive yourself after the car accident trauma...

when you were seven years old.

Oh, my.

How could you remember such things so well?

Don't get me wrong.

Hey, push harder!

Mother, please try harder.

That fool.

Push to the same rhythm. One, two!

One, two!

Just a bit more!

A bit more!

Okay!

Okay, Mother, I think we're good.

Oh, my back.

Why are you laughing?

I just can't believe this sight right now.

Should I take a photo of you?

- What? No, don't take it. - Wait.

- Hey, you! - No, let's take one together, Mom!

- In 1, 2, 3! - In 1, 2, 3.

- Gosh, why are you doing this? - In 1, 2, 3.

- Don't do this. - Hey, you should take one too.

- Hey, don't do that. Boys, don't. - Come on.

- No, don't do it. - In 1, 2, 3.

- Gosh, boys. - All right.

Mother, you should have some of this.

It may not be the Jamaica Blue Mountain that you like,

but I'm sure it's nice and sweet.

Don't you know that I'm managing my blood sugar levels?

Of course you don't.

Let me know if I can help throughout the lawsuit.

I'll help in any way I can.

The lawyer will take care of everything.

Having lawyers talk for you...

and having your own family talk for you will be very different.

I'm on your side too, Mother.

I want you to be happy.

Thank you.

I didn't get to eat anything.

Oh, Mother. They were selling toast over there too.

Should I buy some of that, at least?

Oh, no. Forget about the toast.

I don't really like street food, you know.

You say that, but you finished your coffee.

I'll just go and buy some. Wait a little while. Here.

Whose idea was it?

What?

To have a cheat day... I mean...

To come out to lift our moods.

I can tell it wasn't either of you. Who gave you this advice?

Mi Jin?

Yoon Seo.

I met with her yesterday.

I said I'd allow your marriage...

but only if she took charge of our scholarship foundation.

I thought if we used her story of having overcome her poor background,

it might help our company's image.

Did you know about it?

I happened to hear about it.

Yoon Seo told me...

that I could get angry anytime,

but I could only console you now.

And that family is supposed to do that.

It may sound like an excuse,

but I thought someone who will become family anyway...

should be where she is needed.

Considering the profits of the company first...

was such an obvious thing for me.

But she said this to me.

And even if...

I take charge of the scholarship foundation,

please don't let Ju Won know...

about divulging my family background.

Even if the articles are published,

I think it might be best that he doesn't know...

where the information came from.

Why?

Ju Won will worry.

And feel sorry.

I only thought about the company, but she...

only thought about you.

So, I was just feeling embarrassed...

about whether I shouldn't have made that offer.

A happy family...

It was something I never had,

so I wasn't able to give that to you boys either.

But I think she could give that to you.

Please tell her that we won't reveal her family background,

and you should...

get married as soon as you can.

Well, that way,

my issue will blow over a bit.

I can hope for that much, right?

Mother, here.

- Oh, gosh! - Goodness!

My goodness, you.

Have one.

Thank you.

- Cheers. - But...

(2 months later)

Did you sleep well?

Seriously.

What do you think?

So, why not just go home right after the meeting?

Why drink so much?

You have a room in this house too. Sleep there.

Hey, once you get married,

you won't be able to sleep next to me like this.

I barely managed to persuade Mi Jin to let me stay out...

after telling her that I wouldn't be able to have this time with you...

once you got married.

So, why did you persuade her on that?

Gosh, I'm cold. Give me the blanket.

- What's wrong? - Get out.

- Come on. - Seriously, get out.

- Get out. - I'll catch a cold.

(AL Scholarship Foundation)

Hello.

(AL Scholarship Foundation)

- Hello. - Hello.

(AL Scholarship Foundation)

(Ha Yoon Seo)

Good morning.

- You're here. - Hello.

(Teen Support Division)

Do I send this via fax?

Oh, yes.

By the way, why did Yoon Seo go to the Teen Support Division?

She was interested in that field in the first place.

No, what I mean is...

Mother offered the position of General Administration Director.

Why did she take on a smaller division?

I wanted to figure out each part of the work in order.

Didn't you begin as a new recruit for the same reason?

Well, that's true,

but you actually want to work at the Scholarship Foundation, right?

Of course.

Actually, after I saw Artist Lee Sung Min...

supporting young artists,

I thought about donating my talent to a social enterprise.

When I first left home with Ji Seok,

I couldn't get any support...

because we technically had parents on paper.

It was pretty hard, to be honest.

So,

you should understand my perspective too, okay?

What's there to understand or not?

Things were resolved in the end.

I was sorry about last time.

I suddenly became so mad to think my sister wasn't being respected.

Ji Seok.

Respect from others isn't all that important.

I just have to know my own value.

Gosh, Yoon Seo is amazing.

Then, you guys must be really busy.

Are your wedding preparations going well?

Of course. As you saw from the photos in my room,

we already took our wedding photos.

I chose the venue...

and the champagne we'll be having at the reception too.

I already picked out the bouquet design too.

Wait. What about Yoon Seo?

She's busy.

Still, she said she'd come to see the wedding invitations for sure.

Well, it is pretty unique.

"Pretty unique?"

Gosh, my dear junior, you respected me so much when we were drinking.

Where did all that respect go?

I don't know about that,

but I am grateful.

You must be busy with your upcoming exhibition.

I am,

but I wanted to be the one to draw your wedding invitation.

I went out of my way for this.

Oh, Yoon Seo seemed really busy these days.

Can she come today?

Come on. Of course she should come.

It's the first time we see our wedding invitation.

Right.

Hey, are you on your way?

Hey, I'm sorry. I don't think I can make it.

Well, I'm on my way back from a meeting now,

and I was going to drop off the assistant manager...

and go straight there.

But we were asked to send over the schedule for...

the scholarship certificate ceremony right away.

Yes.

Sorry, I think I'll have to see the invitation in a photo.

I'm getting a call. Bye.

Yoon Seo. Ha Yoon Seo.

Just talk to me.

Although, it is a bit awkward for us to talk about wedding invitations.

Yes, well...

However, this was only the beginning.

Why did your meeting get pushed?

Yoon Seo. Ha Yoon...

Should we postpone until tomorrow?

We can't push it back any further.

Then, pick things out with me.

I had to pick the wedding invitations with Lee Sung Min...

and our furniture with Mi Jin.

And even...

It will be a little uncomfortable to live above a newlywed couple.

But why can't Yoon Seo come?

Well...

She's going to headquarters...

to get additional funding.

I see.

I had to see our newlywed home...

with Ji Seok.

Ju Won, let's go.

- Oh, gosh. - Hey.

Ji Seok, are you okay?

Shouldn't you go to the hospital?

No, it's just a light sprain.

Can you hold me up a little more?

Gosh, this place is really nice, though.

The bathtub is big, so it would be nice for washing up.

- Right? - Yes.

It's perfect for a newlywed home.

This house is meant to be the newlywed home...

of AL Group's youngest son, right?

Yes.

Let's not fight in the future and live happily together, okay?

Okay.

There were rumours that the chairwoman opposed this marriage.

Was that perhaps...

Also, in order to quell an unexpected scandal,

the group had to step up.

But what was even harder than that was...

I missed Yoon Seo.

Is she very busy?

I'm not such a petty guy who gets mad over these things.

Right.

You can't come today either?

No, I'm sorry.

I think we'll have to fix the list of scholarship recipients.

Do you have to finish that by today?

We said we'd go see Uncle Jae Ha and Yi Rae since it's been a while.

And we were going to see if Ji Seok is doing well working there.

Sorry. I'll reschedule a day to visit Yi Rae's.

I'll call you later when I'm done.

(Director Seo Ju Won)

(Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's 2nd wedding anniversary)

What if my husband cries his eyes out...

from being so moved after receiving this gift?

(Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's 2nd wedding anniversary)

Did I go overboard with making it myself?

Yes?

Ms. Lee, Vice Chairman Seo Si Won sent this.

Oh, my. How pretty.

Oh, your necklace.

Gosh, how pretty. It looks great on you.

When did you buy it?

Don't you know?

I feel a chill.

I think I must know about this necklace.

Excuse me. Here is the cake you ordered.

Oh, we didn't order a cake.

You did.

Pardon?

The person who made the reservation ordered it.

"Happy Wedding Day?"

- Wife... - Tell Secretary Kim...

- that I enjoyed the cake. - Let me explain...

And that I appreciate the gift too.

Well, so I...

You're finished, right? Let's get going.

Wife. Mi Jin!

Wife.

Come on. Mi Jin.

Let's go home separately.

Separately?

Why?

I thought it was your idea...

to send me a present and eat together today.

I thought you wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

I'm sorry.

Since we haven't celebrate our anniversary before...

I know that, but now...

But now, I like you.

So, I thought things would be different this time.

I'll be going first.

Hey, Mi Jin...

Gosh, darn it.

(Please find the list of teenage applicants of 2024...)

(Send)

(Seo Ju Won)

Hello?

This isn't who you think it is.

This is Uncle Jae Ha.

Why are you answering the phone?

Is Ju Won there?

I said we should come some other time.

Why are you here?

Well, Father-in-law said he cooked for us...

I mean, Uncle Jae Ha cooked chicken soup that's not even on the menu.

He and Ji Seok boiled it for three hours.

How could I not come?

I'm sorry. But you know how things are for me these days.

I know. Your work is more important than me.

You know I'm busy with an important project coming up.

I know.

The meticulous Ha Yoon Seo has to mind every detail from 1 to 10.

What's with your manner of speech?

What's with your glare?

- Are you picking a fight? - I've held it in for a long time.

What did you hold in?

This is way too much.

You work so hard,

but how could you be so haphazard about our wedding plans?

What? "Haphazard?"

Yes, haphazard.

I chose the venue,

the champagne we'll drink at the reception,

and even the bouquet design.

This will be a simple wedding with just family,

so all the venues are pretty much the same.

And you've had more champagne than I have, so I left it to you.

And bouquets all seem similar to me.

What do you want me to do?

"What do you want me to do?"

Gosh, seriously.

I really wasn't going to say this,

but I chose the wedding invitations with Lee Sung Min.

I chose the furniture with Mi Jin.

The house? I looked at it with Ji Seok.

I saw the invitation in the photos and the furniture in the catalogue.

And we said we'd go see the house again next week.

What's the problem?

No, this is a huge problem.

You have to check with your own eyes and feel it with your hands to know.

I was so upset and lonely yesterday...

that I even bought a plant on my way home.

What does that have to do with a plant?

What?

Are you the logical type?

Excuse me, guys.

The owner here says not to fight at someone else's business...

and to leave.

We're doing business here.

Gosh.

He's being so harsh.

I'm worried I might disgrace him if I don't do a good job.

I'm working so hard with gritted teeth.

(The sofa you ordered will be delivered tomorrow afternoon.)

I didn't even thank Mi Jin for helping us choose our furniture.

(Senior Managing Director Lee Mi Jin)

Is it better to call or text?

Gosh. It's late anyway. Let's do it tomorrow.

Hello? Yoon Seo?

Hello? Yoon Seo?

What?

Yoon Seo.

(Senior Managing Director Lee Mi Jin)

What do I do?

Hello? Yoon Seo?

Hello.

Yes, is something wrong?

Oh, well, I...

I was supposed to go look at furniture,

but I wasn't able to make it. I wanted to say sorry.

Oh, you don't have to apologize to me.

It took a lot of effort to pick them out, so use them well.

It's my wedding gift.

Don't say that. It's way too much.

Then buy me a drink later.

A drink?

Yes. I want to get to know you.

I was going to call to ask you out to dinner,

but you seemed so busy. Are you still at work?

No. I left work, and I'm on my way home.

Then can we meet for a drink now?

Right now?

Yes. I seriously need one right now.

Where are you? Let's meet.

I looked forward to getting a drink with you,

and that day is today.

It is.

Hello, Ms. Lee.

Is it okay that I didn't make a reservation? Is the room free?

Well, no.

Some guests booked the room long ago.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm sorry, Yoon Seo. I should've called ahead.

No, it's okay. I don't mind where we drink.

I'm worried you might feel uncomfortable.

Can I take you to a place I often go?

Somewhere you often go?

Yes.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

You'll have your usual soju and beer, right?

Yes.

- Enjoy yourselves. - Thanks.

Call if you need anything.

- Okay. - Good.

This place has the aura of a famous restaurant.

The food really is good too.

Gosh.

- Shall we? - Sure.

That was stupid of me.

I forgot our wedding anniversary.

You darn lunatic.

Hello, darling husband.

You know our wedding anniversary is coming up, right?

It feels a bit different this time.

Is it because it's the first one since I got to like you?

So I prepared a little something.

Ta-da.

It's a present.

We went out for makgeolli once.

I think of that time often, so I'm making makgeolli cups.

Let's have another drink.

Congratulations on marrying me, darling.

You're really blessed.

I'll show you how this works.

I'm back.

Hi.

You're still up?

The second hearing's next week.

I had a lot on my mind, so I was having a glass of wine.

What about you? Are wedding preparations going well?

Yes, I guess?

I knew Yoon Seo would do a thoroughly good job,

but she's doing better than expected.

She visited every agency and organization for a meeting...

to select people who she believes are eligible for a scholarship.

Many children are neglected by people...

who, on paper, are their parents who are alive and well,

so she's selecting candidates from scratch.

(Yoon Seo)

(Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's 2nd wedding anniversary)

(Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's 2nd wedding anniversary)

You lunatic.

You don't deserve to be loved.

(Mi Jin)

(Call history: Yoon Seo)

She'll be so angry.

Darn it.

Is she out there somewhere crying?

Cheers.

This is no joke.

You're a heavy drinker, Ms. Lee.

Why do you keep calling me "Ms. Lee?"

Shouldn't we get our titles straight?

Oh, then...

"Sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law?"

Yes, I'm your sister-in-law now.

And you are mine.

Yes, sister-in-law.

Did you have a bad day today?

- Why? - Earlier,

you said you seriously needed a drink.

Si Won and I fought.

I fought with Ju Won too.

- You did? Why? - Yes.

He said I didn't care much about the wedding preparations.

I'm having the worst time ever getting used to an unfamiliar job.

Can't he put in a little more effort?

Right. If you're working hard,

you won't have attention to spare on the wedding.

I didn't think Ju Won was like that.

He's petty.

Petty isn't the word I'd use to describe him.

Why did you and Si Won fight?

Today's our wedding anniversary, and he forgot about it.

I was so pleased to get a gift,

but his secretary had picked it out.

That's not nice. He should've gotten a gift himself.

That's horrible.

It's not exactly horrible but...

To be honest, isn't Mother the real horrible one?

I can finally say this,

but how could she give you money...

and ask you to leave her son?

You're capable, great at your job, and have outstanding character.

You make a mean soju and beer mixer too.

Exactly.

We should barge in and complain.

Complain?

Yes.

Whose fault is it that we're upset today?

We're upset because of Mother's two sons.

We must go over there and figure out who's at fault.

Yes.

(Husband)

My gosh.

Hey, husband.

Me? I'm out drinking with Yoon Seo.

No, don't bother coming over.

We're going to Mother's to get a few things straight.

What?

Darling wife. You'll go to Mother to get what things straight?

Honey. Mi Jin?

This is bad.

Hang on.

This is really bad.

Ju Won, Code Red.

Yoon Seo and Mi Jin are going to Mother's to complain.

Wait outside and stop them...

What? You're not at home?

I'm on my way to Yoon Seo's.

Okay. I'll go home now.

Mr. Kim. I have a sister-in-law now.

Let's drink more mixers.

Go! Let's go!

Can you drive a little faster?

Drive on! Faster!

I think we're going too fast already.

My gosh. You're the best.

Good luck, sister-in-law.

- Look. There she is. - Hey.

You're right.

That's Mother.

Mother. Get out here.

- Don't. - Get off me.

Let go of me.

Mother!

Hang on.

What happened?

Hey.

Yesterday, with Ms. Lee,

no, my sister-in-law Mi Jin, I had a few drinks.

We went to the chairwoman's to complain...

and Ju Won came...

My gosh.

What is wrong with me?

Why did I even go there?

Oh, no.

(Seo Ju Won: Yoon Seo.)

How am I to apologize?

(Seo Ju Won)

Yoon Seo. Do you have a hangover?

I'm sorry about yesterday.

If you're upset, it's my fault.

Call when you're no longer angry.

(Read)

She read it, so why won't she reply?

I have a stomach ache. Get me some medicine.

Should I have bought hangover soup?

That's weird. Why is the door open?

You're here.

Yes.

The door was open.

Oh, I grilled some fish, and it stunk up the place.

What's the occasion?

I just...

felt bad.

For making you handle all the wedding preparations.

And for getting into trouble yesterday.

So I prepared a little something.

It looks amazing.

I'd been craving doenjang soup since yesterday.

This is a jjigae.

I hadn't cooked in a while and I added too much water.

You don't scrimp when it comes to ingredients.

That's cool.

The rice is nicely cooked. It's just right.

It's instant rice I microwaved.

The side dishes are delicious.

Ji Seok made them.

I only made the jjigae.

Did you?

It's too salty, isn't it? I'll add more water...

No. It's just right.

A little more water...

It's so good.

- Is it? - Yes.

- Just a little? - No.

It wasn't too bad, was it?

It wasn't.

It was good. You're the best.

I can't promise I'll cook for you often.

Okay. Thank you.

What I meant was...

It's such a shame.

I'm not a passive guy who just eats what he's given.

You just do what you like and what you're good at.

Oh, right. I have something to show you.

Here.

It's our wedding invitation.

I asked Mr. Lee to rush it.

(Seo Ju Won and Ha Yoon Seo)

This makes it feel real that we're getting married.

Doesn't it?

Yes.

It feels a bit weird.

I love you.

That's random.

It's not random.

I always love you.

I love you too.

I love you.

Okay.

A wedding invitation?

I still can't believe...

that those two will be married in a few days.

Neither do I.

Do you think Ms. Ha will manage?

Rich families are hard to handle. What if she gets bullied?

Like...

Goodness.

It's terrible table manners.

I can't eat with someone not on my level.

Shall we have dessert without her?

I don't want to waste any on her.

Oh, my gosh!

Come and take this away!

No.

Not that.

- That! - That!

Who, me? But...

Wait. Can I please take this?

"Mother. I've never had lobster before."

"Mother."

- Will you stop? - Yes.

Didn't you watch too many dramas, Mr. Bae?

I guess I did.

I'll get rid of my TV right away.

- How about a toast? - Yes.

One, two, three.

- Cheers. - Cheers!

- Congratulations on your marriage. - Congratulations.

Of course, the fairy-tale I'm about to write...

could sound like a nonsensical TV drama.

- Hey, look. - Gosh.

What are you doing?

The ending many fairy tales have,

"they lived happily ever after..."

is impossible in real life.

- Cheers? - Cheers.

This cup is beautiful.

The liquor tastes much better because you made the cup.

Right? Aren't you grateful?

Be sure to arrange something for next year's anniversary.

I'm really sorry about that.

To be honest, I thought the date we got together...

meant more than our wedding anniversary.

I was preparing something...

to celebrate our 100th day.

Didn't you make that up to make up for...

forgetting our anniversary?

No, I swear I didn't.

I knew you'd say that, so I even prepared something.

What's that?

Look.

Interior blueprints.

Let's merge our bedrooms on the 100th day.

Not on our 100th day.

We can do that tonight.

Mi Jin.

What?

I love you.

I love you too.

Despite that,

I decided to believe that everlasting love exists.

Ji Seok. The first step of cooking...

is buying the ingredients. Do you get that?

This is where I usually shop. Take a look at all this.

My gosh.

- This is a webfoot octopus. - Can you not?

- Are you out of your mind? - A webfoot octopus.

Uncle!

As simple pleasures fill your every day...

(Lee Sung Min's Exhibition, White Night)

Perhaps your reality will become...

more lovable than a fairy tale.

The Cinderella at 2AM said...

that 2am could be a time not filled with pain...

but excitement and expectation.

It would be ignorant and arrogant to jump in...

not thinking it would be tough.

But the steps you take to brave the pain and go forward...

is courage.

You're so handsome!

- You look amazing! - You're beautiful, Ms. Ha!

Ha Yoon Seo, you look amazing!

Be happy, sis!

I'm surrounded by those I love,

and I have enough courage.

I'm sure my story...

will have a happy ending.

(Cinderella at 2AM)
