[Episode 128]
You need to get away from Hwaom,
and I need to get away from Jia.
I keep on getting attracted to her despite my own will.
How about us getting engaged?
That way, we can cut them off completely.
Hwaom, Jia, and we will have a clearer picture.
I don't know about you but if we don't do that,
I don't think I can help falling for Jo Jia.
You can't go through with this?
You want to hang on to Hwaom?
To be honest, yes.
But I won't do that and hold on to him.
I think getting engaged is a good idea.
I'm going to tell my sister the truth later,
after we get engaged.
And then what?
After we get engaged,
both Hwaom and Jia will give up and live their lives.
And we'll continue to focus on our work.
Even with them gone from our lives,
nothing will change between us.
We won't pressure each other about anything.
But I feel bad to your sister.
I'll explain to her later, and she'll understand.
I don't want to waste my emotions and time on this.
If you don't want to do this, let me know.
We have to wrap this up.
I'm getting weary, too.
Now that our drama has been delayed,
maybe we can get engaged next week?
We can hold a small party and exchange rings.
Okay.
I'll prepare the party.
Are you worried?
It's not the first time, so things will be easier.
I know Hwaom better than anyone else.
So, Producer Jang Hwaom...
Your daughter's brother-in-law...
Yes.
He says he's in love with my daughter-in-law.
That's what he said to me yesterday.
He wanted to marry her and wanted my support.
Oh, my gosh. So what did you say?
I think he really means it.
I thought he viewed her as a younger sister, but I guess it's more than that.
Did Yaya say okay?
Of course she didn't.
And that's why he's asking me for help.
What do you want to do?
If it's him, I feel like I should push her into marrying him.
He's the key to her brighter future.
The heavens must have pity on her.
But it's not easy for Yaya to make up her mind.
Since she did have a wedding once before...
That's not the problem.
If she marries him, she'll become the sister-in-law of Sonji.
What's the big deal about that?
They'll be uncomfortable about it...
It all depends on how you view it.
They're friends so it might be more comfortable.
If Yaya becomes an older sister-in-law to Sonji...
Hello, my sweet daughter?
What are you up to?
Nothing. I was just thinking of you.
You don't have cooking class today, do you?
No.
Come to my house.
Don't you miss your grandsons?
Why, of course, I do!
I think about them every single day.
If you didn't live with your in-laws, I'd be at your place everyday.
Grandmother and Mother asked why you weren't visiting us.
Really?
Come empty-handed. We have everything.
No flowers, either?
Bring my favorite ice cream!
I apologize for what happened last night.
I shouldn't have done what I did.
Although there were factors that led me to misunderstand,
I don't think your relationship with her is what I thought it was.
It might've been an innocent moxa treatment...
and having meals together, but on the surface,
you two looked extremely intimate.
It's true, right?
What do you want me to say?
That's probably why you didn't mention it to me.
If you had no feelings for her,
you would've told me that you had moxa at her place,
and that you watched a movie together and ate together.
Unless you had feelings for her,
no married man would go watch movies with another woman.
Especially with someone you grew up with like siblings!
It hurts me and I just can't forgive you.
Even if you apologize to me, it'd take some time for me to forgive you.
But you get mad at me instead!
You keep on denying any wrongdoing!
My trust for you has been broken.
Let's get divorced.
I just can't love you the way I loved you before.
And I know you're starting to fall for Dallan.
I was wrong.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I won't get a divorce. I can't!
Yeah?
Can I see you?
Where at?
I'll go right now to the restaurant by your hospital.
I apologize for yesterday. I went overboard.
But I had every reason to be upset.
You two might not be romantically involved right now,
but in your hearts, you're starting a romantic fling, aren't you?
What fling?
When you were meeting up for moxa, dinners, and movies,
I'm sure you had feelings for each other.
That's why you couldn't come clean to me about it.
Our trust has been broken.
And I can't love you the way I loved you before.
I'm so hurt and wounded.
But you say you did nothing wrong,
and you treat me like some crazy wife.
Let's end it.
Let's end it?
Yes.
Your heart sank, didn't it?
You're finally worried, aren't you?
Unless you beg, I won't let this slide. No way!
You want to get divorced?
Or just separate?
Divorced.
Over this?
This isn't a small matter to me.
It's all about trust.
If you hit porcelain, you start to see cracks.
The floor is carpeted and good for kneeling on his knees.
Give me 2-3 days to think about it.
Your pride won't allow you to get on your knees?
Did you have lunch?
Yes, with Writer Jung.
What did you have?
Where's the maid?
She went out for groceries.
What did he buy you for lunch?
Just something simple.
I have something to say.
Okay.
I was proposed to by Writer Jung.
Proposed to?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
Were you two dating?
No, we were just working together.
And?
He says we have a lot in common.
He wants to continue to write with me after we get married.
He first wants to get engaged.
So what did you tell him?
Well, he and I grew up under similar conditions. I don't know...
Are you saying you don't want to turn him down?
What do you think I should do?
It's your life. You have to make that decision yourself.
I feel like my life is still in pieces.
Whether I accept his proposal or not...
He's a good guy.
He's very intelligent.
And he's a generous person.
Seeing that he chose you...
You do have your flaws after all...
I wonder what your charm is...
My brother was so in love with you, and now him...
Since I have nothing,
they must want to give me something.
I don't think that's it.
Nobody wants to get married out of pity.
You didn't give him an answer?
He didn't want to drag this longer.
He wants to get married after the drama is done.
He's that confident about you?
Everybody is...
I wonder if there's anyone out there for me...
Hwaom.
Yeah?
I thought it was over between you and Yaya.
Why can't you just get over her?
Mind your own business.
Well, this concerns our family.
She's not a person you can marry.
She's not the right one for you.
Did Bansok say something to you?
He said that you might announce your engagement soon.
What's so bad about Yaya?
Don't think about her condition, think of her as a person.
She's a smart and funny girl.
Conditions make a person.
Then people who have nothing are all incompetent and useless?
That's not what I meant.
Yes, it is.
When it comes to marriage...
You just like her as a person. It's not love.
People often get affections mixed up with love.
Those are two separate things.
The feeling you have for her is pity.
You're misunderstanding your pity for her as love.
Why? Because you've never been in love before.
You don't think I know what love is?
Do you think I'm a child or something?
Either way, Yaya isn't the right person for you.
How can I treat her as an older sister-in-law?
No way!
I always treat your wife with respect.
Yaya is different.
We grew up with her. I saw her in diapers.
I'm saying all this...
because I don't want you to do something drastic.
Are you going to lecture me more?
Hey!
Yaya is a widow.
Don't you feel a bit reluctant?
You!
You know nothing about love!
You have to weigh in all the factors.
Marriage is a sacred thing.
You can't always be so calculative about everything,
but at the same time, you can't blindly follow your emotions.
Hwaom. Hwaom!
How do I make that innocent dude listen?
A wolf should live like a wolf.
But he's trying to live like a lamb.
If it's hard raising all four babies, I can raise one for you.
I'm used to raising all four of them, Mom.
Of course, I wouldn't be able to do so without help.
Please help yourself.
Thank you.
Please come by more often.
When I got married, I missed my mom so much.
I'm sure it's not like that with Sonji.
Since she has you two to take care of her.
Yeah. I don't have time to miss her.
Oh, whatever...
I'm serious, Mother.
I should let them know. So...
When Hwaom gets married,
Sonji will move out with her family, right?
Hwaom will never get married.
Didn't you hear?
Hear what?
I heard from Yaya's father-in-law. Dr. Jo...
Yes?
Hwaom came to him and said he wanted to marry Yaya.
I thought it was discussed and decided.
Really?
When?
On Sunday.
He must've been at a loss for words.
I mean, she's his daughter-in-law.
Well, he said he should push Yaya into marrying him...
since Hwaom could provide a better life for her.
But what about Hwaom's life?
I know!
What's going on here?
I thought he was over with Yaya.
Well, that's what I heard.
I guess Yaya isn't accepting his heart.
That must be why he came to see Dr. Jo.
He wanted Dr. Jo to help and persuade Yaya.
What do we do?
Yaya will just have to be stubborn.
Her father-in-law should stop them.
Think about our situation!
He can't only think about Yaya's happiness.
Dr. Jo is very generous, that's why.
Girls are bound to fall for guys who are aggressive.
You can't expect Yaya to be stubborn forever.
You saw how I gave up on my son and let him get married.
I just don't get it.
There are so many girls lined up to meet him.
You can say that again.
Can you deliver a message to him for us?
Please let him know how we feel.
Sure. I'll let Dr. Jo know.
You do understand us, right?
Of course, I do.
I understand you better than anyone.
She's not fit to be your daughter-in-law.
I was relieved that he was finally over her.
He's too soft-hearted.
That's not it.
He's so different from Muom. So different!
Hello, Hwaom?
I'm arriving in 20 minutes. You're home, right?
Yeah.
Come to Samhee's place.
But we're supposed to go swimming together.
Come to his place first.
Does he want me to come over?
Yeah.
I should change my job to being a writer.
He acts like such a boss.
Stay there. I'll pick you up.
I want to take a walk there.
All right, then.
Okay.
Do you want some fruit?
No.
You should go now. Hwaom is coming.
Okay.
I'm taking one fish home.
Sure.
I told Jia.
Maybe it was because it's me,
she seems to be taking it fine, at least on the surface.
It's not like you were ever dating her...
But in just a month, I think I'd be in love with her.
And it'd be too late to turn things around.
But when I look at her, she looks so much like my mom...
My love for her will change into hate.
It doesn't have to be that way.
I know myself too well.
It's better for me to forget about my mom...
and not think about her ever.
I thought Bansok was here.
He left.
He has such a big mouth.
What kind of guy is like that?
Want some juice?
Water.
Give me the bottle. I'm thirsty.
What?
We're going to get engaged next week.
I'm getting too nervous.
I suggested it to her and she said okay.
You said you'd give me time until May 30.
That was just your idea.
You agreed to it with her.
I'm too nervous.
Seeing how good you are to her, I can't keep this up.
Are you kidding me right now?
It's not like that...
I was thinking about what you said.
And I think you need me because of your own happiness.
Not because you really need me.
At that store...
you said you felt happiness when you were with me, right?
Well, think about it carefully.
I...
No, it's the same thing. My feelings for you.
I love you so much! Unbearably!
If you really loved me,
you'd think about my situation over your own.
But I'm very similar to you in that sense.
To me, my situation is more important.
I really want to cut off all ties with you now.
I'm just sick to my ears.
So, you're going to get engaged to him?
Just so that you can get rid of me?
My heart is leaning towards Samhee.
I'm sure of my feelings.
Please accept that and take it like a man.
You have to do what I want.
I'm too tired to do anything,
and I don't have the energy to worry about you.
Next week?
Yeah.
If you're rushing things because of me, please don't.
I won't bother you two anymore.
I just want to focus on my work now.
And I'll be more at peace after getting engaged.
Fine.
Do it, then.
Thanks.
Stop making me more miserable.
I was never envious of you before.
But now...right now, I'm envious of you like crazy.
I guess the world is a fair place after all.
You can't have what I have.
But you can have the girl that I can't have.
I'll accept this. I can do this.
Yaya.
Yeah?
Was being with me that difficult for you?
Did I make things so hard for you?
It's just...
What I want is...
No, never mind.
You two have given enough thought to this, right?
Yeah.
Yaya, you too?
Yeah.
There's an end to everything.
And I guess that day is today for me.
Don't make us worried over you.
I won't do that.
I'm not that pathetic. So don't worry.
I'm leaving.
I'll know that you're doing well when I get your script.
Listen...
Whenever I'm in an elevator with a view,
I'll think of you.
I know I will...
What?
Nothing.
Cry, if you want to cry.
Was I too cruel to him?
You're doing this for him after all.
Whenever I face challenges, I'm going to remember this day.
Then, I think I will be able to tolerate anything.
I felt sorry for Hwaom for the first time.
Should I have myself tested?
You never know...
I might have a problem.
You told me not to worry about it.
Well, we need to at least know the reason.
I might be the problem.
No way.
What if we get tested, and the problem turns out to be me?
I don't care.
Should we do it?
We're not in any rush.
This is Lee Bansok speaking.
This is Jo Jia.
Hi.
Hello?
I'm the rising star, Jo Jia.
Are you drinking?
Yes, wine.
Am I not supposed to?
No, it's not that...
You should drink when you're stressed.
I'm drinking some wine.
It tastes very heavy...
Oh, I see.
It's not a light but heavy-tasting wine?
Yes.
It's so delicious...
Isn't it way too early to be drinking?
Are you alone?
With a friend.
Do you want to come?
No, it's not that...
You know what? Bring Jung Samhee with you.
I'm at Crystal's.
He should know where it is.
What are you doing home so early?
I had a headache.
I have a headache, too.
Why?
Nothing...
What? Tell me what's wrong.
You know what my worry always is: Jang Hwaom.
I thought he ended it with Yaya.
No?
Oh, I don't know.
I want to hear from him first.
Do you want me to draw a bath for you?
Yeah.
