Let’s go to America.
Let’s go to America for treatment.
Over there, cancer isn’t a big deal. You won’t die.
Let me drive.
[Ji Seok]
What’s wrong?
Did you lose something?
Let’s go.
- Episode 5 -
Do you want me to prepare some hot water for a bath?
Tired?
Do you want to sleep?
Come lie down.
Do you want to eat something?
Don’t be like this.
Just treat me like you normally do.
I will email you the condition of the patient,
so please find the best hospital and best doctor in the United States.
Not only one doctor, I need more information.
Please check it as soon as possible, and...
please keep this to yourself.
I cannot tell this to my parents.
Danny, you’re the only person who can help me. Please.
Hello.
Hello?
Oh… Hye Jin ah.
You haven’t slept yet?
It’s already morning here.
Wait a little while longer.
We’ll go over there very soon.
Very soon.
We’ll go over when Daddy has a break.
Daddy will have a break very soon.
Mommy misses you, too.
Even though they want me to make it sexier,
just look at me. Can I pass off as sexy?
Did they really have to use that analogy?
Did you finish your class yet?
Listen to me.
It was just me and Hye Jin’s mother, the two of us, in the elevator.
Hye Jin’s mother said to me,
"“Let’s go to America."
"Over there, cancer isn’t considered a big deal. People don’t die.”"
From what she said, who would you think had the cancer?
Hye Jin’s mother, me, or my parents?
Who would you think it was?
Uh… you.
You think that, too?
Then how come she won’t get in touch with me?
How cruel, Go Mi Yeon.
Too cruel.
Before, we had to slave for an entire evening to be able to finish one letter,
and then we dilly-dallied about whether or not to send it in.
That’s really romantic, too.
But now, we just send a few texts,
or we type a few emails and it’s done.
What’s that worth?
But, there are also high-capacity emails.
But that’s still not as valuable as the sincerity of a letter that took an entire evening to write.
Emails can also be edited and proofread.
That’s not romantic enough.
Let’s go to America...
Let’s go to America for treatment.
Over there, cancer isn’t a big deal.
People won’t die.
Stay with me, Mi Yeon.
Live with me.
What are you doing?
Are you kidding?!
Do I seem like a pushover to you?!
Mi Yeon… I...
Don’t say my name.
Maniac.
You’ll always be a crazy man.
Who would spend money to buy “romantic”?
Do you think that “romantic” can be purchased with money?
Do you guys understand what “romantic” really means?
Oppa once told me...
Again, let’s do that again.
Who does she think she is?
Making that ugly face at us.
Hey, if you have any nerve, then say that out loud.
You just wait.
I’ll give her a lesson at the banquet.
Again!
Didn’t you quit that already?
Smoking isn’t something you quit. It’s something you endure.
At first I was fine,
but then I heard about the turnout. How could I not smoke?
Now I’m back at square one.
What’s wrong now?
Who’s bothered you?
Tell me.
I’ll teach her a lesson.
Who asked you to catch me smoking?
What’s wrong?
Isn’t today your father-in-law’s death anniversary?
Are you worried about that?
What is it?
Does smoking... make your heart feel much better?
Does it let you forget your sadness?
Is it true that... I won’t have any more worries?
No.
You’re actually even sadder.
You will think of even more sad things,
and your heart will have even more pain.
So... don’t smoke.
Ji Seok ah!
Hey, are you going home?
Let’s have dinner, and then go home. My treat!
Ahh... the weather is so nice, isn’t it?
Are you really this happy?
Don’t be like that, rascal.
Why do you always look at my expressions?
Will I die immediately?
Tired, right?
Noona said that she’d make the preparations for the ceremony.
Don’t worry about it.
Let’s go.
Noona also said that it’d be fine if you just came by and made an acknowledgement.
I really don’t have anything going for me.
That’s my line.
I’ve already been saying it for thirty years.
Let’s compare whose life is more rotten.
Fine, we’ll compare.
Less than three months after I was born, my mother died.
While I was learning how to walk, my father constantly hit me.
I received the school acceptance letter,
but I didn’t have enough money to buy an airline ticket, so I couldn’t go overseas to study.
My father-in-law bought me the airline ticket,
so I had to endure other people’s attitudes to go overseas.
Oh, you really don’t know to count your blessings.
I have no money, no home, no wife, and no kids.
I have money, a home, a wife... and an adorable daughter.
Yet, I’m going to die soon.
I have a woman that I love deeply,
yet I can’t see her.
I’m going to die very soon,
yet I can’t meet with her.
I really don’t have anything going right for me.
I’ve already said... that’s my line.
Jung Sook said that he saw her.
She was getting out of a man’s car.
She said it was her husband.
What type of man is he?
I don’t know either.
Is he rich?
I’m not sure.
Make a wish.
Ask him to let you have a son soon.
We’ll only live together for three months.
Live with me, Mi Yeon.
Just three months.
When did you come back?
Why did you come back so late?
Were you with Duek Gu?
Hubby...
Hye Jin’s father...
Say something.
I was with Duek Gu.
Is that it?
Couldn’t you treat me a bit better?
When you’re with your students or Duek Gu,
aren’t you great with jokes?
Sometimes you’ll even smile or get mad at them.
Can’t you treat me the way you treat them?
It’s strange.
I just can’t treat you that way.
I am the sinner who has completely destroyed our family.
Hubby...
In front of you...
I can’t say anything.
Do we have to be like this?
Does this make you feel better?
Strange...
You always treat me like this, always cool with me.
But right now, I... why do I feel so hopeless?
You should feel more hopeless than me.
Why am I the only one hurting?
What’d you wish for just now?
I wanted to always be as happy as right now.
Isn’t that nice?
Very nice.
Tae Hoon, what’d you wish for?
I want a child, but if not, then it’s fine, too.
If we’re always as happy as now, that’s good, too.
Just that?
What else is there to wish for?
After you’re done, go ahead to bed.
Yeah… what else is there to wish for?
Ajumma, why are you here?
Why’d you think to look for me?
Why are you scared to admit it?
What is it, Ajumma?
It’s nothing.
It was just on my way, so I decided to come in and see you.
Go on in.
Don’t just go like this. What’s wrong?
If you’re missing me, then I’m going to go after you.
What’s wrong?
Do you understand computers?
I can’t find this person’s name.
You can’t find it?
Usually on the college website you can always find it,
but if you’re found out, then you’ll be expelled.
If I’m expelled, you’ll take responsibility, right?
What’s his name?
Hyun Ji Seok.
I don’t know if he’s part of the administrative staff or if he’s a professor.
He studied in the engineering school. Check.
He was young when he became a professor, probably during postgraduate or...
It’s right here... Hyun Ji Seok.
He’s a professor in the Architectural Engineering Department.
Is it this guy?
Oh, Jung Sae ah? I’m Ji Seok.
Duek Gu mentioned you.
Even in the same school, it’s hard to meet up with each other.
Yeah...
Oh, yeah... I heard that Mi Yeon got married?
What’s her husband like?
Capital Fund Management Company?
PB Manager?
Oh, PB Chief Inspector?
[Architectural Engineering Lab]
[Professor Hyun Ji Seok]
It won’t be late. Right now we’re negotiating.
Yes, I got it.
I miss you, too.
Oh, I’m sorry. Is there anything I can help you with?
I’ve read your investment plans for the economic region.
Oh, thank you.
I know that you don’t negotiate with individual investors,
but after I read your investment plans,
I thought that if I spoke with you, I’d get a definite answer.
If you want to invest,
you should first consider the company’s capital and the degree of risk.
Not long ago, everyone was still investing in real estate,
but now our country is like other developed countries,
concentrating on investments in the semi-manufactured goods.
This can lessen the risk and at the same time add interest.
These are my personal views.
Is there anything else you want to know?
How long have you been married?
Three years.
Do you have children?
Not yet.
I really want some, but it’s not easy.
Because of kids, couples often have some unhappy issues.
Marriage is not only about having kids.
How could that be?
Aren’t men usually very easily annoyed?
Their love and feelings very easily disappear.
They’ll also try and find other women, right?
Between men and women, there should be some moral justice.
Living on this earth, there are so many things to be faithful to.
How can we still retain moral justice with women?
Whenever you meet a person you love, you go with that person.
Temporarily living happily, isn’t that very nice?
You seem to be very faithful.
A person who has not truly loved to the second stage of love
usually would say that.
Love becomes emotion; Emotion becomes righteousness.
Husbands and wives become soulmates.
This is even sweeter than being in love.
Love will not disappear or lessen.
You should actually say that it’s deeper.
It’s really a secure feeling.
You want to treat her even better than you did when you were dating.
It seems as if we’ve gotten off topic.
In brief, I tell my clients practical and useful things.
Sir, there’s a phone call for you.
Oh, okay, connect it to me.
Hello?
[I love your wife.]
I’m in love with your wife.
I want to be with your wife… until I die.
Can I do that?
Can’t I?
Okay, I got it.
You and I are cousins.
We couldn’t possibly be together
unless we were brutes.
Haven’t we known that for a long time now?
Now, every so often when I think of this, it still drives me crazy.
Are we going to spend the rest of our lives like this?
You’re about to die, and you think of me?
Why?
Back then you left me. Why?
We’ll only live together for three months.
Do you want me to forgive you so you can go peacefully to heaven? Forgive?
How could that happen? How could I forgive you?
I’ll never forgive you.
Let’s just live together for three months.
Let’s go to America.
Let’s go to America for treatment.
Over there, cancer’s not a big deal.
You won’t die.
Alive or dead, what does it have to do with me?
I won’t sympathize with you.
You have nothing to do with me.
Very soon I’ll return to Father’s side.
Are you very happy?
Soon you’ll be able to hit me when you want, to yell at me when you want.
It was because of Father that I got sick.
If I knew from the beginning that my life would be so short,
then at the time I never would’ve done what you told me.
Dad...
I’ll be obedient.
If I go to your side,
I’ll be obedient.
So...
Grant my request.
Mi Yeon...
Please return her to me.
Please give me an idea, Father.
Dear Jung Ran,
we can take an advanced medical technical approach,
but this is a limited therapeutic effect against hard stages.
Basically, in America, it’s the same as in Korea.
I’m really sorry that I’ve brought this information. I’m really sorry. Take care.
It’s me, Jung Ran.
Where?
Which hospital did you contact?
Is it the best hospital in the field of cancer?
Are you sure it’s top-of-the-line?
Who said that they had the authority?
You have to know the possibilities in order to go.
I want to hear Hye Jin’s voice,
but I’m always mindful of the in-laws.
They won’t say anything if you’re just calling on time by routine.
That’s not an easy thing to do.
You’re only saying it because you don’t know.
To be considered in-laws has always meant...
I’ll tell Hye Jin to call you often.
Then...
Hey... do you still have kimchi left?
This time I made some turnip kimchi.
Should I bring you some?
Today, I’ll put some cash into your savings account.
No, there’s no need for that yet.
I’ll do it.
It’s fine.
You’ve done well!
What’s wrong?
Is something the matter?
Pour it slowly.
You’re making people curious, yet you pretend as if you don’t know anything.
You said you were going to recommend me for a job,
so I was in a hurry to come over.
Journalist Kim, have a glass.
Come over here, have a glass!
Jung Tae sshi is the only one who cares about me.
I’m going over.
Yeah, yeah.
As a writer, you have to be comfortable and make peace with the actors.
What can we do if Author Go is in a bad mood?
What’s wrong with you lately?
The smile has disappeared from your lips. Everyday, you’re so serious.
Are you having some problems with your husband?
I’m about to die from being caught in the middle of the producers and the actors.
Then just go die.
What?
If you want to die, then die.
It’s not like you don’t have a way to go die.
Author Go!
Are you okay?
I could tell from how much you drank.
Why are you doing things that you normally don’t do?
Do you feel comfortable now?
I feel as if you’re very restless.
Don’t start any problems with your drinking.
[Go Mi Yeon]
Hello?
Who did you say was going to die?
Who’s going to die?
Tell me. Who exactly is going to die?
It’s me.
You…
are really shameless.
Who allowed you to just die whenever you wanted to. Who let you go die?
Who let you go die?
The hatred, regret, and annoyance left in my heart...
Wait until all of these have disappeared, and then you can go die.
Before that you can’t possibly die,
because I’ve been treated too unfairly, so it can’t happen.
I still have a lot of hatred left.
If you die, then it will be too empty.
It will be too unfair, so it can’t happen.
Wait until I’ve hated you so much that I get tired of hating you...
and then you can go die.
Wait until all the hatred in my heart has completely disappeared,
and then you can go die.
Answer me.
Tell me that you’ll do that.
Answer me!
I want it to be that way, too.
That’s why we need to be together!
What is it that you want?
He has to get your permission first and then die.
Is that your intention for liking him?
He has to wait until you get tired of him and your hatred disappears before he can go die.
Is that your reason for liking him?
By telling him all of this… what is it that you want to accomplish?
That man is going to die.
So?
He’s going to die.
So?
He’s going to die, so he has to finish doing the things he wants to do before he dies.
Is that it? What’s that worth?
It’s not like that.
The man who left you…
just because he’s going to die. This is the man who cast aside every shred of his conscience...
The man who wanted to live by his own feelings and ideas.
Why don’t you think about that, stupid?!
He’s not that type of person!
That man is going to die.
I’m very thankful that before he dies he’s still looking for me.
I now know that to him, I’m not just a busy passer-by.
So I’m very thankful.
That man is going to die,
but my heart is like this.
Who’s worse?
The man who has come to look for me because he’s going to die,
or me, the person who is heartlessly happy that he’s going to die.
Who’s worse?
Answer me!
Go Mi Yeon!
Tae Hoon sshi is coming. Shut your mouth. Shut up.
- Hello! - Hello!
She’s a bit drunk. Basically, she had as much as was poured for her.
Just drink as much as you can tolerate.
She’s never had a strong tolerance for alcohol to begin with.
Oh yeah, I’ll go get her purse. Just a second.
We’ll be leaving now.
Yes, be careful on the roads.
Hold on a second, hold on a second!
Can I just ask a favor of you tonight?
At night, taking a cab is a bit... uh.
Although I look the way I do,
but there are still a lot of ajusshis who hit on me.
Are you crying?
Aigoo... the alcohol is kicking in again.
I hate people who just play around with drunkenness.
Sleeping a bit will get rid of that problem.
Next time I’ll yell at her.
Is that okay?
Oh… you’re not answering.
Unable to connect. You will be forwarded to an automated voicemail box after the beep.
Is she sleeping?
She’s asleep.
You go on up to bed, too.
Where are you going?
To buy medicine.
You really are too considerate.
You go ahead.
Uh...
What?
Has Mi Yeon… had any issues lately to upset her?
Today...
There’s nothing.
Before...
The year we first met, it was very hard for her.
Lately, she’s had the same expression that she had back then.
Things that she can’t tell her husband,
she can tell her friends.
Oh... it’s not like that.
Today an actress said some things to Mi Yeon.
Even PD Jung got involved.
She drank quite a bit.
If it were me, I would’ve started a fight.
But Mi Yeon’s not like that.
When a person is sad...
Oh, it’s nothing. It’s nothing.
Go on ahead!
Did you come home this late on purpose?
Didn’t I ask you to come home earlier?
Sorry.
I really wonder… in your head,
what are you really thinking?
Drink it.
Your body is essential.
After you recover your energy, you have to go through chemotherapy.
Only after chemotherapy will your sickness get better.
Then, it still won’t be too late to undergo surgery.
Can’t you just drink it?
At a time like this, only you would go and find a beautiful plate
and coordinate the colors by the plate.
Harmonized colors are fundamental.
There won’t be two of any one color, either.
Can’t you just take it as proof of my sincerity towards you?
Is that...
the reason why you won’t give me your heart?
I want to do it well,
and yet does it actually bother you?
From the very beginning, it was for me?
However, actually, from the very beginning, it was for yourself.
It should be done to this capacity.
I treat her well to a certain extent,
so your unwillingness to accept that person of mine is the real problem.
I don’t have a problem.
It’s like a dream that has entered my mind.
So then?
You can’t drink it?
I’m in my last stages.
Cancer treatment in the last stages…
I don’t care if there’s an effect.
I don’t care if you’re dead or alive, you have to undergo treatment.
Even if it’s painful, you have to go through with treatment.
Compared to you, the person dying,
I’m even more pitiful.
In order to not get yelled at,
in order to win your love,
I, the one who went through all of this from the beginning until now, am even more pitiful.
Never in my life had I ever imagined that I’d become a widow.
It’s the same with Hye Jin.
The reality of not having Daddy is something that she could never even imagine.
So then...
for me, for our daughter,
even if it hurts, you have to undergo treatment.
While you’re alive, you can smile warmly at me and also get angry with me.
Don’t leave behind any regrets in my heart.
Eat well, smile warmly at me,
and also throw a fit at me.
Treat me wholeheartedly.
Even though you’re going to leave, you should do that before you go.
Have I gone too far?
I think you’re the one who’s gone too far.
Just give it up like this.
[Divorce Application]
What time did you go home?
You still remember that I went to your place?
I wasn’t that drunk.
Tae Hoon sshi actually thought that you had gotten drunk.
So just take it as if you were drunk.
Even if you weren’t drunk, how do you explain your hopeless expression?
So just pretend like you were drunk.
Tae Hoon sshi said
your facial expressions lately
have been like what they were when you two first met...
the exact same expression as the one you had when you went through a very hard time.
Although you don’t say much, but he can tell from your eyes.
Pull yourself together!
I’m hanging up.
Yes?
Yes, Tae Hoon sshi, is something wrong?
Eat lunch?
I want to have a few drinks.
Oh, right. No drinks.
Mi Yeon doesn’t seem like she can drink anymore.
Oh really.
During this time, you have to have a ban on alcohol.
Yes.
I’ll be over there faster than a speeding bullet.
Yes.
Park Duek Gu.
Psht… why do you look at other people’s mail?
Don’t take it the wrong way.
It’s not like I have any interest in you.
Knocking on my door every single day,
one day even barging into my house...
In order to inform the cops, I at least need to know the name.
Park… Duek… Gu.
That’s funny.
You’re funny. You’re not a little dog, “Wa, wa!”
What? Wa Soo. (*The pronunciation of the barking and her name is similar)
How do you know my name?
You seem to have taken an interest in me.
What?
Oh, I invited Wa Soo.
Asking her to just leave like that yesterday was a bit...
I’ll buy some good food and then go home.
They’re cancer-treating mushrooms.
They’re mushrooms that are extremely beneficial to cancer patients.
Get me one of these.
Today, if it’s possible, come home earlier.
Oh, what to do?
I’m sorry.
[Seo Yeon University - Hyun Ji Seok]
You can call this number.
I don’t think there’s really a need to call.
Don’t worry about it.
This is my husband’s business card.
Once the repairs are done, you can send me the insurance details.
It’s no problem.
Don’t worry about it.
Wow… what is all this?
I really should be dieting.
If you want to diet, then why are you drinking?
If I drink, then I won’t eat anything.
Oh... it seems so very delicious.
Here, let’s have a glass.
Thank you.
This year you must meet a good man.
It’s what I’ve been hoping for, too.
What’s that man like?
Who?
The man who lives above you.
Forget about it.
Why?
His name is even very hick.
Why are you laughing?
It’s even more hick than the name Kim Wa Soo.
So that’s why I’m saying that’s enough.
It wasn’t anything else.
Why use the name as a joke?
I don’t want to hear that “Two lame people can be together.”
What’s his name?
Park Duek Gu.
Park… Duek… Gu.
That’s not hick.
But... that guy knows my name.
He probably went through my mail.
How do you explain this?
He’s interested in me, right?
My eyelids are starting to swell.
The alcohol is starting to kick in.
Why are you coming with me?
Are you afraid that I’ll start trouble when I’m drunk?
You think that I’m like you?
What does that guy look like?
Who?
Park Duek Gu.
He looks like Park Duek Gu.
How old?
I don’t know.
You’re asking this… why?
Be careful on the roads. Call when you get home.
How is Ji Seok sshi now?
You basically know, right?
Cancer.
What type of cancer?
Leukemia.
Is there... no hope left?
I’m not that sure.
If it’s short…
three months.
I’m not good with words, so I don’t know what to say.
I’m not sure if I should say this, but...
Ji Seok is very worried about you.
Although I don’t remember clearly,
but he said it very sadly.
Oh, I think he put it like this....
He never once left Mi Yeon,
but he feels as if he was the one who was abandoned.
In his heart, he never once forgot.
Just know that.
As long as he didn’t leave behind any wounds.
At that time, it was the only way it could be.
I know that.
Ji Seok’s father’s career was endangered.
If the family of Ji Seok’s wife now hadn’t helped out, it would’ve been impossible.
Because Ji Seok didn’t listen,
he ran towards an oncoming vehicle.
At that time, Ji Seok was torn apart.
After breaking up like that,
he didn’t mention you even once in front of me.
All the way up until he found out that he had cancer.
That crazy guy who said that they’d only live together for three months...
It couldn’t possibly be you. It’s your friend, right?
That’s right.
I don’t know which little rascal it is, but tell him I want to meet him.
He said himself that he never once left Mi Yeon.
In his heart, he never once forgot Mi Yeon.
Just know that.
I stirred in some cooled water.
Just drink it like water.
It’s not bitter, or nasty to drink.
Don’t always think about not becoming my burden.
You don’t have to do that.
I want to rescue you.
I want us to be okay.
Work hard with me.
Right now, you...
are like trying to force yourself to read a novel that you don’t want to read.
If it wasn’t interesting, then you didn’t have to read it.
Your temper...
will never ever give up,
up until you read the very last page.
Doesn’t everybody get through like this?
There will always come a day when it gets bad.
If it gets bad, isn’t that inevitable? There’s nothing you can do.
If you don’t want to force yourself to read it, then just close the book.
While living, certain interesting things will happen.
Just do that.
Accept treatment and go through it.
Just do that.
Then, I’ll also accept your proposal.
Everything that you want.
You’ll accept everything that I hope for?
Yes. Everything that you want.
[Go Mi Yeon]
Hello?
Thank you…
for calling me.
