(Episode 25)
You're pregnant?
It's Jang Hyun's baby.
Don't ask me what I'll do yet.
(Happy ending)
Did you stay up all night?
I'm not sure.
When did I go to sleep?
I may have slept a lot while working.
Coffee?
Thank you.
I guess you're struggling with the ending.
It's strange.
As I think about the ending,
I can't remember...
why we broke up in the first place.
That reason will change every day soon.
For real?
Why did you get a divorce?
You can't ask so blatantly like that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Because I was lonely.
Sorry?
That's what I thought at first.
I was lonelier when we were together.
We should've hugged each other,
but we stabbed each other instead.
I guess the pain...
was better than the void.
After more time passed,
more reasons kept popping up.
That's right.
There are some things you must be alone to see.
Even after breaking up, you need to say goodbye.
That's the true period.
The next story can continue only after that.
So I was thinking...
What do you think of...
"Bye, Farewell" for the book title?
You lost your keys?
Where's your head?
I'm sorry.
The client trusted you and gave you the key.
Would you trust us with your security?
I can't protect you.
Don't you know you could get fired for this?
I'm sorry.
I had them agree to a written apology...
and docked pay for now.
Consider yourself noticed.
Yes, sir.
(Yulmae and Kay's New Dad)
Hello?
We provided foster care for them.
They were adopted not long ago, but they ran away.
But it's in the countryside.
If we go, maybe they'll follow our scent...
and come back since it's familiar to them.
Thank you.
What happened?
The screen was open,
and they're not in the house.
Why did they keep the window open?
Let's just go first.
You know the saying...
What?
That cats leave their masters...
when they're about to die.
Why are you saying that?
We won't be able to find them.
What do you mean?
They'll come back. I'm sure they will.
(Boarding)
We should board.
Hello?
We found them. We thought they left,
but they were under the bed and in the closet.
Okay.
They keep hiding because it's an unfamiliar place.
I'm so sorry.
Are you doing well?
Yes.
I'm sorry about that day.
What?
At Yoo Young's place.
I wondered if you were okay.
I also...
repented that day.
I never appreciated how hard you worked.
You don't have to.
I was wrong.
No, you weren't.
I was the same, so don't worry about it.
Then are we even?
That's right, we're even.
Please tell Yoo Young...
that I'm sorry.
I feel bad for creating tension that day.
But I meant it...
when I said I hoped you two would work out.
By any chance, did things get awkward...
because of what I did?
Yoo Young is pregnant.
She is?
It's Jang Hyun's baby.
Okay.
She didn't tell him yet.
She says she will never go back to him,
but the way things ended up...
I don't know what to do.
Should I tell him?
And I wonder what Yoo Young plans to do.
I don't know.
It doesn't concern me, so why are you telling me?
Sorry.
That's not what I meant.
Just forget it.
I didn't want to talk about this with you.
Can't you just become that baby's dad?
What?
That solves it.
What does that solve?
You two were planning to date each other anyway.
Were you planning to just date casually?
That's not...
Anyway, that's not what I mean.
You must feel responsible.
You must feel like you should look after her.
That's not it.
That's right.
Maybe you'll change once you're a dad.
What are you saying?
What do you mean by that?
I... You see,
ever since I found out I hurt you by saying...
we didn't need a baby...
when you said you wanted one,
I still regret it whenever I think about it.
But that's what I thought back then.
I wasn't being careless with my words.
But now that Yoo Young is pregnant,
do you think I can suddenly go, "I see,"
"I'll be its dad"?
How could I possibly do that?
If I do that, that means I lied to you,
and you'd be the one being hurt.
Why are you saying that?
Why? Are you saying that to be considerate of me?
Why must we say things that hurt each other now?
I'm leaving.
Wait. I...
Let's not meet again.
Did you hear from his family?
No.
How could he not have anyone in this state?
Did you try calling his university?
(Contact List)
Mom.
Yes.
Are you done?
All of our things fit.
- It's big. - Isn't our home nice?
Yes, it's nice.
Should we order jjajangmyeon?
- Yes! - Yes.
Where should we order from?
- There. - Can we get tangsuyuk?
- That sounds good. - Spicy tangsuyuk.
Suk Moo.
Sorry for not answering your calls lately.
I was happy I moved to this neighborhood.
A whole bunch of things happened here,
but I met you again.
I feel much more at peace now.
I feel at peace when I'm with someone...
who doesn't lie.
I'm sure Hwi Roo knew as well.
What?
That's what it feels like to live with someone...
who is faithful and honest.
Feeling like you can be who you are.
And that makes you feel at ease.
You're really annoying,
but I like that too.
I feel like I'm getting...
my life's worth of compliments.
You're right.
What?
We may have dated again.
I felt like we were headed that way.
But that won't happen now,
so I'm complimenting you all I can.
Yoo Young.
Yes?
I...
couldn't be of help...
- or do... - It's okay.
It was just bad timing.
Thanks.
The water is boiling.
I'm keeping the baby.
I'm going to be a mom.
Thank you.
I'm fine now.
Does Jang Hyun...
Shouldn't you tell him?
It's my business.
It has nothing to do with him.
- If you're alone... - I'm not alone.
It'll soon be two.
Aren't you afraid?
I'm not afraid.
I want to be a mom.
For me,
that's how I can live without lying...
and properly.
That's strange.
Mr. Lee Jang Hyun?
You're awake.
Many people fake being unconscious...
when there's a problem they can't handle.
You're fine.
(Contact List)
(Jang Hyun)
The person you have reached...
Excuse me.
Do you know where...
Professor Lee Jang Hyun is?
He's in a hospital.
A hospital?
What is that?
This.
Did you know?
When I look at a person,
I look at their hands first.
Their hands...
tell me what that person is like.
It's true.
The shape of the hand...
tells me what type of person he or she is.
If their hands are similar,
they are intrinsically similar.
Will you show me your hand?
Whose hand is that?
My mom.
My mom's hand...
looks like this.
I like hands that look like this.
It's kind of rough...
and gruff,
but it looks smart.
But why did you draw a hand?
Because I couldn't hold it?
(Lee Jang Hyun)
Suk Moo!
Did you come to see me?
Why did you fall from the roof?
I don't know. I was drunk, so I can't remember.
If every drunk person fell off buildings,
no bar would be on a high floor.
You climbed up to the roof.
I'm not so sure.
I don't know how you fell,
but regardless, you went up there.
Do you think so?
How much more must you do?
Everyone...
has something like that,
and everyone thinks about this and that...
Well, whatever. Forget it.
Then I'll get going.
You have a baby.
Yoo Young has...
your baby inside of her.
Thank you.
No.
Sorry for how I'm dressed.
What happened?
It's nothing much. I'm sorry.
You should be careful.
Right.
Did you see a doctor?
What?
That...
I did.
Good.
I see.
What did the doctor say?
Two months.
Okay.
So...
How is it?
Is it healthy?
Yes. I got a sonogram too.
Do you have it?
Yes.
I want to see it.
I can't show it to strangers.
Forget me.
Live as you had been...
and date several women at once.
You'll forget me...
quickly and easily.
I'm busy. Please leave now.
You're in my way.
What is it?
I can't forget you.
I won't forget you.
I want to see...
the baby.
I want to meet the baby.
Please?
Yoo Young.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry. But...
I want to be that baby's dad.
Please? Let me live with you and the baby.
Please, I'm begging you.
The books are here.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Thank you.
(Bye, Farewell)
(About the Author, Kang Hwi Roo)
It's nice and warm, right?
Yes.
Are you laughing or crying?
We're holding a small publishing party.
Invite anyone you'd like.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Sure.
That was quick.
You should accept thanks quickly...
so the other person doesn't feel awkward.
It was so quick.
It was so quick that it doesn't seem real.
It was my dream for so long.
That's how it is when dreams come true.
You don't have a chance to really feel it.
You think it would move slowly...
until that emotional moment, right?
To be honest, I didn't think it would happen.
I tried once when I was younger.
I wanted to be the cheerleader...
at a sports festival.
Only the most popular kids...
got to be cheerleaders.
So the same kids always did it.
But I really wanted to do it, so I tried.
And... I got zero votes.
Isn't that funny?
I never told anyone until now.
I guess I was hurt.
Everyone has an experience like that.
I never really wanted anything...
and am not very competitive,
so I don't look at other people.
I think it's partly because it's easy...
and partly because I have no chance.
I think I had repressed my desire...
to become a children's story author as well.
If I don't try,
I wouldn't fail.
I always stayed in the place.
I lacked confidence.
I think I became worse after I got married.
That's why I relied on him more than I realized.
I relied on him and stayed in place.
Are you okay?
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Are you his family?
No, not family.
Okay, then.
How did it go?
She says she'll call.
What?
Doesn't it mean she won't when women say that?
Don't jump to conclusions.
It escaped.
Sorry?
The puma.
But it died.
The humans killed the puma.
I read the article only about its escape.
I was too afraid to read what happened afterward.
So it ended up dead.
Yes.
Don't cry.
I'm sure it went to a better place.
The human world is torture anyway.
Anyway, let's talk about us now.
So? What will you do?
Yoo Young never changes her mind.
You're giving up?
You can't do that.
I didn't know how to hold on when I had to,
and that's why I lost Hwi Roo.
How did it end up like this?
You know,
when I was young,
I lived in another country with my mom...
until I was 10.
Then one day, my mom died in an accident.
Everyone said it was an accident,
but actually,
I knew... I knew the truth.
My mom had committed suicide.
That morning, my mom held out...
her hand to me.
She reached out to ask me to grab her hand,
but I didn't.
Why not?
I was very angry...
because my mom didn't seem happy.
Although she was living with me,
she was never happy. Although I liked...
making her laugh more than anything,
I didn't succeed very often.
So...
So I keep remembering...
that hand.
If someone holds out their hand,
you should grab it, okay?
I just thought I should tell you.
Did he ask you to?
No. No, he didn't.
So Jang Hyun...
is afraid...
of losing or letting go of you.
Then he won't be able to make you happy.
That may be why...
he always kept a distance to avoid getting hurt.
Does that excuse denying the reality...
and cheating on me with other women?
I don't know.
We don't know.
Our moms didn't commit suicide.
We weren't betrayed by the lover we lived for.
Then why did you ignore it?
- What? - If you didn't...
understand him,
why did you ignore it all and hold it in?
- Because... - Didn't you deny reality?
Weren't your feelings more important than he was?
Because it isn't a problem if you don't know.
If you understand so easily,
solve your problem first.
I thought...
Hwi Roo would always be by my side.
Wasn't that...
what you thought too?

(Bye, Farewell)
(About the Author, Kang Hwi Roo)
Hello.
(Bye, Farewell)
You're so cool.
Sorry? Oh, thanks.
Congratulations.
Pardon?
Suk Moo...
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
That day.
It's okay.
You know,
when someone else does something wrong,
we comfort them.
"It's okay."
When things aren't going well,
we say, "It'll all work out."
But when a family member does something wrong,
we get mad first.
"What's your problem? Why did you do that?"
You get angry and scold them.
And if things go well for other people,
you say, "Congratulations,"
but you feel...
Well, at times, your heart isn't in it.
And at times, you feel a little envious...
and stuff.
But if things go well for your family member,
you're 100 percent sincere.
You're genuinely happy and glad for that person.
That's how I felt.
That's why I was flustered and angry...
when I first heard that.
But to be honest, I wanted you two to work out well.
I was sincere.
Is that strange?
You two...
were family.
You seem to be a very strong person.
Me?
You're tough. That's why I envy you.
Me?
That's why I think...
Suk Moo and you are a much better match.
It's too late.
You can have him.
I don't want him.
I don't know. We're breaking up.
I have no appetite.
Not knowing is why you were wrong.
I didn't know saying that would make her angry.
I'll have one with steak.
No onions or jalapenos.
Okay.
Then what do you do...
when you unknowingly do something wrong?
It's delicious.
You should apologize.
I tried, but I kept making mistakes.
Did you even think about what you did wrong?
Yes, I did, but...
Don't get swept away by your emotions,
and think hard about what she said.
Suk Moo.
Not knowing is what he did wrong.
But it was a mistake. He could change...
if you would give him a chance.
How much did he tell you?
Nothing. I was talking about myself.
I'm a pro at unknowingly hurting others.
At first, I felt wronged and bitter.
I was defensive.
"How could I know? She should've told me."
But then, when I thought about it,
I realized I thought it was my right not to know.
Not knowing isn't an excuse,
but I still want to ask her...
to wait for a bit more...
and walk slowly with me.
But I can't demand that from her, can I?
Tell her.
Sorry?
If you had done that sooner,
you wouldn't have gotten divorced.
- Surprise! - My gosh.
Congratulations.
Thanks, Soo Kyung.
I didn't do anything. It was all you.
So...
We're having a small publishing party.
Come hang out.
Let's go there.
Hwi Roo published a children's book.
What?
(Bye, Farewell)
Publishing party.
What...
When... How did you suddenly...
Do you really think it was sudden?
You have no idea when she even started.
She had been writing a lot since a long time ago.
- Oh, no. - Why do you...
leave your doodles everywhere?
What was it?
The reason you decided to get a divorce.
You'll come, right?
Is it okay for me to go?
Come if you want to congratulate me.
I'll get going now.
- Okay. - Bye.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry. I didn't know...
that you were writing children's stories...
or that you had a dream like that.
I had no idea.
It's okay.
I didn't know either.
What?
Were we even close?
Were we too close?
It's harder if you're too close.
It's more embarrassing when you're too close...
to get embarrassed.
You should've told me.
Exactly.
Come by if you have time.
Here.
These are pamphlets about the support programs.
Thank you.
I'm sorry to say this,
but if you want to receive support,
you can't have any records of being married.
And you can't be in a common-law marriage.
That's fine. I have no records of any marriage.
I see.
May I register the child on my own?
The baby will have my last name, right?
That's not our department,
but you can if you bring your ID...
and the baby's birth certificate.
Okay.
- Give me a minute. - Okay.
Please give me the ball.
Here you go.
Thank you.
- Ki Yup. - Daddy!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Mommy, are you very sick?
No, I'm fine now.
Don't be sick, Mommy.
I won't be sick. I love you.
I love you.
Let me introduce...
Kang Hwi Roo, the author of "Bye, Farewell".
Thanks. Hello.
I'm Kang Hwi Roo. I wrote "Bye, Farewell".
Thank you very much for coming today.
I'll start the reading.
"Bye, Farewell."
"The girl was always late."
"The boy got angry."
"Still, the girl was late every day."
"But the boy doesn't know..."
"that the girl always came first..."
"and watched the boy in secret."
"She felt warm and happy..."
"that there was someone..."
"waiting for her."
"So, she watched him..."
"and watched him some more."
(Bye, Farewell)
(About the Author, Kang Hwi Roo)
"Things you must be alone to see."
"Bye, Farewell."
Ms. Kang!
I've missed you, Ms. Kang!
I love you, Ms. Kang!
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
Goodbye, Ms. Kang.
Thanks, Soo Kyung.
Congratulations, Hwi Roo.
Thank you, Grandma.
Thank you.
She looks so unfamiliar.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - It's him.
Thank you.
- Congratulations - Thank you.
- It's good. - Am I dreaming?
I can't believe this.
- You stepped on my book! - What?
Sorry.
What is that doing down there?
You're a bad man!
Mommy!
You must have come to the publishing party.
You bought a book too.
Your kids will enjoy it.
I have no kids.
You're not a parent.
It's a good read for adults as well.
You must be the president of the publishing company.
- Yes. - What president...
- looks like this? - I don't look like it?
No, I...
- Is he a con artist? - I'm not a con artist.
What...
Is he a mind-reader?
You came.
Hi.
Congrats.
Thanks.
Why don't you come with us to eat?
I booked a nice restaurant.
- Yes, come. - Should we?
Yes.
You're so handsome.
- Pardon? - You're my type.
- What? - Are you married?
I'm divorced.
Of course.
Any kids?
Grandma.
What's with the third degree?
My gosh. My apologies.
Did I lose points?
What points?
There's nothing going on.
Grandma... That's right.
Ms. Kang seems to take after you a lot.
No. She's her ex-husband's grandmother.
I'm the ex-husband.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
That's mine.
I know you like that.
You read the book, right?
Ms. Kang said she wrote about her divorce...
as a children's book.
The process of saying goodbye.
The children's book...
seems majorly influenced by "Heart".
- What? - Do you?
I saw an influence by "Pinocchio".
It's a bit realistic for children.
Explaining differences...
and parting seems like...
it's teaching a lesson.
Rather than explaining,
it's showing.
During the Japanese occupation was when...
children's literature started being developed.
Back then, children were expected to do labor.
So they were naturally...
focused on teaching them lessons.
I guess you can see this story that way,
but I think that is due to a lack of imagination.
Children...
- aren't like that. - Look...
This story isn't trying to educate anyone.
It's just showing it to them.
The rest is left open for the reader...
to reflect and imagine.
So...
look into your heart.
I don't understand anything you're saying.
I don't know any of that.
I just wrote it,
so you can call it...
whatever you want, as long as...
you enjoy reading it.
It looks like you lost.
He's just sensitive about her.
Why would I be sensitive?
- We're strangers now. - That's right.
We have nothing to do with each other.
That's right. Whether she dates, gets married,
or has kids, I don't care.
Do you mean that?
What?
Let's go. I feel weird to watch this.
Okay.
- We'll go first. - No, why...
- Thank you for dinner. - Thank you.
- We'll get going. - See you later.
- Don't come out. - Why...
- But... - Please, enjoy.
Okay.
Let's go.
Do you mean it?
Do you not care?
She says we have nothing to do with each other.
If I care, I'd just be her stalker.
- Do you mean it? - Why does he keep asking?
- Goodness. - I like Ms. Kang.
Mr. Oh.
If you really don't care,
may I get closer to Hwi Roo?
Wait. Hold on.
I had this thought recently.
I have a ranch.
I want to live in the countryside,
and I thought I would like to live with her.
That she fits in well with open fields.
We can milk the cows in the morning...
She hates milk.
And she doesn't wake up in the mornings.
She's sleeping even when I leave for work.
She sleeps more than nine hours every night.
There were times when I was up.
Once in a blue moon.
You're asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep,
and wake up just once. Maybe that often.
I have low blood pressure, so it's hard to get up.
Hold on. That's not important right now.
Wait. Why are you suddenly doing this?
If you like her, would you like...
some advice?
Advice from the ex-husband?
What you learn from failure is important.
You still see only her strengths, right?
You're only looking straight on.
But if you change the angle just slightly,
you can easily see her flaws.
Do you want me to share some with you?
First, she's no joke when she drinks.
And do you know what her drunken habit is?
No.
That may help.
Please stop.
I can see why you got divorced, Hwi Roo.
You're like a toddler.
No, that's an insult to toddlers.
You can't express your feelings...
and lack courage,
but you're cynical...
and only want to point out people's flaws.
That's a bit much at your age.
What... How could you say...
Yes, it is too much.
But how much do you know about us?
What do you know?
What must I know?
I...
went camping with her not long ago.
And her father and I are super close.
When we go visit, we sing karaoke together.
And her mother loves me.
And we almost got back together.
Of course, I blew it...
because I'm immature like a toddler.
I can't express myself,
and I don't ask or argue...
No. Because I don't know.
Because I don't know, but I can't even ask.
But you don't know anything at all.
That's how a married couple works.
You complain to each other nonstop.
We fought dozens of times.
We almost split up hundreds of times before.
But it was okay. I thought it was okay.
Even if I complain about her,
I get angry if someone criticizes her.
That's what it means to be married.
Every time we fought, we made up.
We even walked together for an hour...
like everything was fine after one fight.
That's right. Those are all memories.
Regardless, that's how we built this.
It's wrong for you,
who only met her recently,
to talk like you know everything about us.
How could you possibly know?
I'm sorry.
Wait.
I'm sorry. I ruined your celebration dinner.
It's okay.
There's nothing going on between Mr. Oh and me.
I have no right to say anything.
Our divorce...
wasn't only your fault.
I only demanded you to know me,
rather than accepting you as you were.
I knew, but I couldn't do it well...
because I was so weak.
You seem strong now.
(Jang Hyun)
Hello?
You were discharged?
Do you want a ride?
Why did you do that? Was it intentional?
I was being sincere. And yes, it was intentional.
I wasted my Joker.
I wanted to tell you in a romantic setting,
but I lost out.
This isn't time for jokes.
I weighed my odds.
Use him to burrow into a void in your heart.
Irritate him and confirm how he truly feels.
But I saw how you felt first.
I'd be rejected anyway, so I figured I'd play Cupid.
I kind of understand...
what you're saying,
but there is no void in my heart.
Even if there were,
it's not one that can be filled by another guy.
And I don't need Cupid.
It's our problem anyway.
What a clear-cut rejection.
Yes.
And...
And if I were how I used to be,
I may have gone for you.
I was alone, tired, and scared, so I may have...
grabbed anyone and wasted my time.
But not now. So as for...
- your feelings... - Okay.
I should accept rejections quickly...
to feel less awkward.
I don't want to be just anyone...
or a waste of time.
Okay.
But do you realize you two always said, "us" or "we"?
That was very disturbing to hear.
Let's shake hands.
I'm saying we'll return to being colleagues.
Whenever you write another manuscript, okay?
Okay. Thank you for everything.
Okay.
I'm in the past now.
What are you doing? Are you alone?
Did you hope someone else was here?
Why are you here alone? You're not singing either.
There's no one to sing to.
Then why did you come here?
Because there's nobody here.
I have nowhere to go.
You still haven't heard from Yoo Young?
No.
Hwi Roo won't take you back either?
I don't need to beg.
I'm completely different from you.
I asked for the divorce, so we got one.
I like being alone, so I am totally...
enjoying my single life.
My heart really hurts
As if I was shot by a gun
I am in such pain
It's strange that I can go on living
I'm sorry, I hate you
It's all the same
I understand
You are the same
What do you want? Want to get in trouble?
I should cheer up? What should I do?
I became a fool
You're a beautiful Venus
I go back and forth
You toyed with me
I became a fool
You're a beautiful Venus
I only had eyes for you
But you dumped me
I became a fool
(Matrimonial Chaos)
- Divorced? - I'm sorry!
Why are you...
I want to love you and become happy.
I don't love you anymore.
Se Jin.
Do you want to go with me?
She's your first love, isn't she?
I don't care who it is.
When I'm tired and sick, I'm reminded of you.
We need to embrace the break up...
for our story to end.
I'm sorry, Hwi Roo.
