(EPISODE 23)
Come on in.
I brought some tea.
Thank you. Could you brew some for us?
Over here.
- Have a seat. - Thank you.
I know the request was out of the blue, so I appreciate you agreeing to it.
There's no need to feel that way.
I'm just sorry if asking you here was an inconvenience.
Not at all.
To see you here
makes me wish again that I had met you sooner.
Please don't worry about that. It's all in the past.
The past? Is that how it'll be?
I still
feel the same way as I did before.
I'm not one to be taken aback that easily,
but you always manage to do so.
Why did you want to see me today then?
I was hoping you'd disapprove of me even stronger.
Your cab will be here soon.
My cab? That's not what's important here.
Your marriage. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Aren't the stars aligning?
It's not just me who's fond of you.
Your father is quite satisfied with my daughter too.
Could it be any better?
- Gi-seok. - Yes.
- Gi-seok. - Yes, sir?
You have always been my second son-in-law.
I knew it since the first time I saw of you.
Thank you.
I'm the one who's grateful.
How can I not be when I'm gaining a son-in-law like you?
Don't you worry about a thing.
I'll clear the path for you.
So in other words,
it's to make your father give up.
My father can't seem to give up on Gi-seok.
My parents' opinions do matter,
but what I want should come first when it comes to my personal life.
That's why I came here despite it being disrespectful.
I see no disrespect.
Humans are all selfish beings anyway.
In that case though,
I can't let someone purposely break my son's heart.
There is no future for me and Gi-seok.
I don't want there to be one.
Because there's someone else?
I won't hold it against you.
Still,
you never know what'll happen, right?
I advise you not to make any rash decisions.
I don't care about the frivolous things
and am a man of patience.
That's why I fully understand your position
and can give you all the time you need.
You know that I no longer have feelings for Gi-seok.
No one's sure of their feelings.
It can always change.
I may be like this now, but who knows?
Just like you said earlier,
I might disapprove of you even stronger.
I'm too exhausted, so I'll be hitting the sack.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
My gosh.
What brings you by?
Your father wanted me to deliver this.
What is it?
It's not like I'd know.
Anyway, I'll see you around.
Sure.
Take care.
What would you like for lunch?
Didn't anyone call?
I didn't hear a bell. Should I get your phone?
It's fine. As for lunch, let's keep it light.
Yes, sir.
- Here. - Right.
Did Jeong-in say anything?
Didn't Gi-seok meet her father?
Is it already over between you two?
Give me back my shoes.
I'm off.
- Don't miss it next week. - See you.
- Right. - Bye.
Hi, Ji-ho.
Did I wake you?
No.
What were you up to?
Thinking about causing trouble.
You already did that yesterday.
So you really did.
Where were you yesterday?
I'd rather not say.
Then don't.
I'm not trying to keep it a secret or anything.
It'll do no one good,
so I don't want to say it.
Got it.
You're at it again.
Only you seem mature.
Even though I try not to be,
I keep getting anxious because I'm too impatient.
Maybe I haven't given you certainty.
Would you like to meet my parents?
If only I could see your reaction.
I'm unfazed.
As if.
What if they're not fond of me?
Then we'll have to break up.
- Hey! - "Hey"?
You know I didn't mean it like that.
I meant it in an endearing way.
You and your excuses.
I'm really worried though.
My parents are nice people
and will know that you are too.
I'm jealous of you.
Looking at you, I can tell that your parents are nice people too.
But you already met my dad.
All parents get greedy when it comes to their kids.
I somewhat understand where he's coming from.
I hear that Jae-in gave you advice.
I've already been bracing myself.
Besides, I'm too happy right now
to rush into anything in a hurry.
I even think that
this is more than enough.
Not me.
I want you badly.
What a sweet life.
Why didn't you call in advance?
- Have a seat. - Right.
- Where's Seo-in? - She's home.
Why didn't you come together?
Well...
Honey, we have a guest, so don't just stand there.
Get him something to drink.
What do you want? What do you need?
It's fine, Mother.
What...
Unbelievable.
Si-hoon, what are you doing?
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
What do you mean?
Honey, why is he acting this way?
- Honey, actually... - I won't divorce Seo-in.
A divorce?
All I wanted was to give her a good life,
but it didn't go as I wanted.
That's why I acted like a complete fool.
I must've been stressed out about moving the clinic.
I wasn't as attentive as I could be
- and lashed out at her for no reason. - Excuse me?
Did I hear you correctly? Is that all you did?
So?
Is she now demanding a divorce?
- Honey, listen to me... - I was wasted that day.
The argument got heated and I ended up hitting her.
You hit her?
I really shouldn't have but I did.
I was completely wasted that day.
Father, Mother,
please forgive me this once.
I won't complain
even if you decide to beat me to a pulp right now,
so please stop this divorce.
I can't live without Seo-in.
I...
I'll stay by her side
and not mistreat her ever again,
so, please...
So please help me this once.
I can't live without her. Please.
Father, please forgive me. I'm truly sorry.
Stand up.
Stand up!
Lead the way.
- Head home. - Why would you go there?
A divorce is just absurd!
What?
You're annoying, that's why.
Is that something to say to a friend who came by on a day off?
Don't you think I know you're just stopping by
even though you want to head up straight to the third floor?
Nothing gets past you.
Aren't I decent though?
I'm meeting him tonight,
but I came by to see you early.
- Why are you outside though? - There's nothing to eat.
I figured we could grab something to eat outside.
I see. I'll buy then.
Of course, you should. Thanks in advance.
Ms. Lee!
Hi, Eun-u.
Have you been well?
How do you know Eun-u?
It's nice to meet you. I'm Lee Jeong-in.
I see.
Well,
- Ji-ho and I... - The library...
Yes, that's right.
I'm a librarian at the library.
I see.
Well, what brings you here...
I'm her friend
and I coincidentally happen to live on the second floor.
I see.
Grandma, let's go.
Bye then.
Bye.
[Netflix Ver] MBC E23 'One Spring Night' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
There you go.
- I'll take that. - Sure.
Why isn't Ms. Lee coming?
Why do you suddenly ask?
We ran into her outside.
She's a librarian, so I hear.
Did you see her? Did you meet Ms. Lee?
"Eun-u, have you been well?" That's what she said.
Even I was surprised.
Who knew that I'd meet her here.
Her friend lives downstairs.
I heard that too. She said it's a coincidence.
It is. Even I was surprised when I found out.
- Mom. - I didn't say anything,
so stop acting like you got caught doing something bad.
I was going to introduce her to you.
- What did you think of her? - The meeting was brief.
Still.
Maybe it was too brief,
but she did seem smart and meticulous. She's pretty too.
Oh, I should sort these out.
Gosh, I look depressing today.
I should've put on some makeup.
There's only so much makeup can do to hide our flaws at our age.
I'm thinking that I should move.
I'm done with getting caught up in your mess.
I wouldn't have met Ji-ho if you hadn't lived there.
Are you going to blame me if things go wrong?
I'm saying you'll be rewarded someday.
What do you think Ji-ho's mom thought of me?
Did I come off rude?
What is on your mind though? Are you even thinking at all?
What now?
That boy...
Eun-u, was it?
Are you sure you can be a mother?
This again? I'm not saying it'll happen soon.
Are you just dating Ji-ho then? Are you keeping your options open?
Do you also believe that feelings always change?
Well...
You're living proof of it.
Why did you break up with Gi-seok?
- Here's your dish. - Thank you.
You can add in some sauce if you like.
- Please enjoy. - Thank you.
Only the person itself never changes.
Feelings can shift depending on the moment,
but not human nature.
It's Gi-seok.
See?
People never change. They never do.
What?
I'd like to talk. Are you at the library?
I'll go to where you are.
I want to talk.
Then I'll wait at your house until you come home.
Marital life
doesn't always go as planned.
How can you call it a marriage when you bring up divorce all the time?
Being patient and understanding is how you mature as a couple.
You can't act on your feelings every single time.
Your mom and I also endured all the difficulties
and that's how we got here.
What should I do?
Should I beat him up in front of you?
Will you forgive him then?
I knew how this would affect my life, but I still made this decision.
Do not think that it was out of anger.
I never said it was a rash decision.
I'd love nothing more than to beat the daylights out of him.
I don't care if you were drunk.
How could you make such a mistake?
I'm sorry.
Did he tell you that it was a drunken mistake?
Of course, it was a mistake.
He wouldn't have done it on purpose.
You're unbelievable.
Say what you want.
I'm getting a divorce.
Sure. Divorce is the easy route.
However, you're not like most couples.
Especially you can kiss your good girl image goodbye.
Must I say that myself?
Forgive him this once.
After you get back on track, you might get pregnant and...
I already am pregnant.
I'm with a child, which is why I must divorce him.
I can't raise this baby with him in the picture.
- Seo-in... - You listen to me.
This is my baby. It has nothing to do with you.
- Honey. - Seo-in,
you should've told us about this sooner.
Divorce isn't an option in this situation.
My goodness.
How can you be this immature and reckless?
Your daughter was assaulted!
How can you be this way?
Aren't you hurt by this at all?
Shouldn't your heart be ripped into pieces?
How can you be so cruel?
What have I done that is so wrong?
How much more must I endure for you to understand me?
Seo-in, please.
Mom, I...
It's all right.
I mostly...
want to apologize to you.
Just look at your father.
I'm the one who should apologize to you.
It wasn't like I got my hopes up.
Still, how could he...
How could I have lived with a man like that all these years?
It's pathetic.
It's humiliating.
I'd like to talk to Seo-in for a moment.
About what?
Shouldn't you be too mortified to even open your mouth?
Mom, leave it.
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I'm a bastard.
I'll devote my life to you and our baby for the rest of my life.
So please forgive me this once.
You think you hit the jackpot, don't you?
I'm pregnant now,
so you think I'm out of options.
Seo-in, please.
I'll file for divorce right away.
I have enough evidence.
It won't just ruin me though.
Revealing that you're a son of a bitch
will also let people know
that I'm a pathetic woman who only married for money.
Just this once.
Can't you overlook it just this once?
This won't happen again. I promise.
If I ever
hurt you in any way again,
be it even a single word,
I'll be the first to suggest that we get a divorce.
I'll leave you be.
Please?
Give up your paternal rights.
Then I won't press assault charges.
Either that or live as an ex-con your whole life.
I already asked you this,
but must you go this far?
Thank the baby for my leniency.
Then I choose to be an ex-con.
How can I give up my paternal rights?
I am the father, after all.
Is he already asleep?
Well, it's past his nap time.
It's okay. I'll do it later.
Don't let the laundry pile up.
It's quite warm these days, so it'll stink quickly.
I guess you liked Jeong-in.
I just don't want your place to stink.
Where's that coming from?
Goodness.
I'll be right back.
What?
I didn't expect you here.
I ran into your mother.
I heard.
What did she say? Did she say anything about me?
- She said you're pretty. - Be honest.
Actually,
she said you're ugly.
- Goodness, you actually look ugly now. - What?
- Do you like that I'm ugly? - You're a hard puncher.
Good for you. You have an ugly girlfriend.
- Go away. - That tickles.
That really tickles.
- Why you! - Okay, fine.
You were aiming for a headbutt, weren't you?
You're much taller, so I have to jump this much.
I said it's fine.
How can you be fine with it?
You should be upset.
I would be upset if you hid it
or met him but lied to me about it.
Also, seeing that your father hasn't said much even after meeting Gi-seok,
I'm thinking he probably tried his best.
He may still not deserve a compliment, but you can at least listen.
In the past, you talked as if you'd never see Gi-seok again.
This I can let go.
Now, you're all lenient.
Are you just incredibly patient?
Or are you full of confidence?
I trust you. That's all.
They say that feelings change.
And I've experienced that.
It didn't happen because you met me.
Now, you're being arrogant.
Everyone needs this kind of arrogance.
- What was that about? - Nothing.
(Episode 24 will air shortly.)
(EPISODE 24)
Why did you bring me here?
It's been so long, hasn't it?
Are we meeting your father?
Or my dad?
I didn't think of that.
Let's get out.
This is where we first met.
You remember, right?
You were with your father. The moment I saw you,
I was totally smitten by you.
I hesitated for a few days,
then pestered him to introduce me to you.
That was already four years ago.
I know I took too long.
It's what you think it is.
Let's get married.
What you think doesn't matter.
I'm choosing this for your sake.
There you go. Done!
I saw the girl Ji-ho told us about.
- Where? - In front of his place.
Her friend lives in the same building.
They were already holding hands.
He seemed so happy to see her.
I didn't know my son could look that happy and excited.
- She's pretty, isn't she? - Yes, she is.
Wait, how do you know?
All women are pretty when they're young.
You were absolutely gorgeous back in the day.
Eun-u!
Let's have some fruit.
Go tell your dad to join us.
Why are you sulking?
Even just hearing about a complete stranger
going through what Seo-in experienced
should make you shake with rage.
Do you realize how much you disappointed me today?
How could you be so despicable?
Give me a break.
She's pregnant with his child.
Should I have encouraged her to get a divorce?
You went there to tell her that divorce is simply not an option.
Your daughter was hit by her husband.
She's a victim of domestic violence,
but you want her to bury it
because you don't want people to find out. I can read you like a book.
Divorce is nothing to be ashamed of.
You should be ashamed that you're a shallow-minded father
who's more concerned with what other people think.
Let's hurry Jeong-in's wedding.
Who knows what will happen with Seo-in?
No family would want a daughter-in-law
with a divorced sister.
We should marry her off before that happens.
Hey.
Lee Tae-hak.
Do you even have a heart?
Why did you even receive this?
He said I can keep it or throw it out
because he bought it for me.
And you fell for that old-school trick?
You should've thrown it in his face.
I obviously thought of doing that.
But it's not like we're enemies. There's no reason to be that mean to him.
Do you still have feelings left for Gi-seok?
It just felt so futile.
I was surprised to realize
that I already have no feelings left at all for him.
Today, I didn't even get angry with him.
I was surprised by how cunning my mind can be.
Good morning.
Jeong-in's sister is pregnant.
Look, it says...
What are you guys reading?
- Hey. - Congratulations. You're an aunt now.
Jeong-in.
Hello!
Did she not know about it?
I'm sure she knew. She and her sister are like best friends.
But she seems so surprised.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Did you read the article? - What article?
Lee Seo-in is Jeong-in's sister, right?
She quit her job as she's pregnant.
- Really? - I guess you didn't know.
Her family will be over the moon when Jeong-in gets married on top of that.
Are you happy just hearing it?
Yes, I am.
I know exactly what you'll turn into.
An extremely devoted husband.
A colleague of mine just told me.
Gi-seok proposed to her.
Are you sure?
Well... Initially, I didn't believe it at all.
But Gi-seok is smiling from ear to ear,
almost as if he's getting married the day after tomorrow or something.
He must be bragging
because it went well.
Wait, so what does this mean?
Is she dumping you, then?
Let's talk later.
Hey.
Mr. Yu.
What? Yes.
- Are you feeling sick? - No.
And this too. There are too many overlaps in the part about the review process.
See the check marks?
Revise these parts.
And overall, it's too long. It'll take up the entire meeting.
I'll fix it.
Hey, did you pass on the news to Ji-ho?
What do you mean?
- Congratulations. - Why didn't you tell us?
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Thank you. Well, I'm not sure if I should be saying that.
- I'm so sad that you're leaving. - I know, I'm sad too.
Breaking news. Dr. Nam's wife is pregnant.
What will happen to him now?
Who knows. Last time, his mother-in-law looked as if she wanted to kill him.
What's this now?
Gosh, cut it out.
Good morning.
By the way, what do men do these days when their wives are pregnant?
I'm old now, so I don't even know what I should be doing.
Tell me.
- Have a nice day. - Thank you. You too.
- Have a nice day. - Bye.
What's the matter with you?
Nothing.
Don't give me that. Something's clearly bothering you.
See? I told you.
I don't think he's sick though.
- Then maybe it's a heartache. - What?
You're too hard-hearted.
What the...
Hello?
Can we meet?
I don't care even if it's late.
I'll go to wherever works best for you.
What is this about?
You already know.
What do you want to do?
I don't think I can meet today.
I'll let you know.
Don't tell me you're avoiding me.
Sure, let's meet today.
What is this?
Is Si-hoon moving back in?
No, it's mine.
Gosh, I'm so sick of this.
You won't try to talk Seo-in out of it, right?
She can't live with Si-hoon.
Are you that excited about your sister getting a divorce?
You think I'm excited?
Living with someone who has a completely different mindset is no better than death.
I'm going to get a divorce.
I'm talking about Seo-in, not you.
I've decided to divorce your dad.
What?
- Is Dad having an affair? - Hey.
Then what's the problem?
You've been putting up with him all these years. Why now?
You said one shouldn't live with someone who has a completely different mindset.
Hey, get me another glass of water. With ice cubes.
- Is divorce the latest trend? - Go get me some water!
By the way, Mom...
If you and Dad get a divorce,
whom should I choose?
Don't say such silly things!
Whether Seo-in gets a divorce or I do,
you and Jeong-in shouldn't say anything for now.
Okay?
Yes, I heard you.
The total number of freshmen will continue to go down every year.
So we'll utilize empty classrooms?
Yes. I gathered some ideas and came up with that solution to prepare
for what may happen in the near future.
I appreciate that you're still working so hard when you'll be retiring soon.
I'll go through this. You should get back to your office.
Okay.
By the way, I met up with Gi-seok the other day.
Did he tell you?
Why don't we let them get married when they want to do it?
Why are you changing your mind?
Did Jeong-in irk you again in any way?
You're hurting my feelings here.
Have you ever seen me going back on my word after making a decision?
Did you think I was like that?
Gosh, of course not.
Then why are you talking such nonsense?
All children are like that.
Whenever they're told by their parents
to do something, they do the opposite.
If we keep pressuring them,
they may decide to go against us. I'm just worried. That's all.
Right.
Children are like that, indeed.
I heard you'll be a grandfather soon.
Just enjoy that for now.
I have to head out now.
Well, Mr. Kwon.
Since it's been brought up anyway, we should keep the momentum going.
Pressuring them is no way to do that.
Well, what I mean is...
I'm just concerned that it may drag out indefinitely if we leave it up to them.
Then maybe they're not meant to be.
Anyway, that's what I think,
so you make your own judgment. Take it easy.
[Netflix Ver] MBC E234 'One Spring Night' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Are you super busy today?
- One iced Americano, please. - Is it for here?
Would that be all?
Ji-ho found out about Gi-seok proposing to you.
Yeong-jae told me.
Yeong-jae is mad at me for telling you.
- What? - Talk to her.
Jeong-in, he doesn't want to talk to you because he thinks you're obnoxious.
No, I never said that. Yes.
I can't get a hold of Ji-ho.
Did he tell you that he's meeting up with Gi-seok?
Yes, I called him earlier to ask him if he wants to grab dinner together.
By any chance, did he tell you where they're meeting?
No, I didn't ask.
Jeong-in, the thing is...
It may not be my place to say this,
but Ji-ho is such a tough cookie.
Yeong-jae.
I'm sorry. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that.
I'm sure you've figured out this much about Ji-ho by now,
but you can definitely trust him. He'll never let you down.
He has such a strong sense of responsibility.
I get what you're trying to say.
That was random, wasn't it?
I guess I wanted to brag about my buddy.
That was sweet of you.
I'll remember that.
Your cappuccino is ready.
Hyeon-su that blabbermouth probably told you what happened.
What more do you want to know?
How much more will you make it hard for Jeong-in?
You're an obnoxious prick.
Shall I provoke you more?
Including Jeong-in's and my parents,
I plan on telling everyone around us.
You're one gutsy guy.
And you're too much of a coward.
What do you even know about me?
I know this one thing for sure.
You're doing this
not because you want Jeong-in but because you can't lose to me.
What do you gain from beating me?
Like you said,
I'm a mediocre man who's nothing special.
And that's why I'm letting you be the first to know
that I plan on telling both of our families.
Wouldn't you be embarrassed that you tried
to compete against me?
You seem to firmly believe that her family will accept you with open arms.
Doesn't the fact that Jeong-in accepted me matter more?
Gi-seok.
Don't think of this as a word of advice from some mediocre dude.
Keeping this up
will make both of us look more childish.
Just stop it already.
I will when you do.
Why tell me to do something that you can't do yourself?
You plan on telling her parents?
Go ahead.
I can just picture the mortification that awaits you,
but I'm excited at the same time.
I'll give up, then.
What?
You're giving up too easily.
I'm giving up on you.
I came here thinking I'd stop trying if I couldn't get through to you today.
I've been trying to be respectful,
but I won't anymore.
I'm done
being considerate to you.
I said, you can go when you hear him coming up the stairs.
What's taking him so long? What if they actually fight this time?
You must be thrilled
that two men are fighting over you.
What did I say? I told you not to get caught.
I had no idea that egotistical guy would do this.
To Gi-seok, this is love.
Jeez.
Hey, do you know what's even more ridiculous?
In others' eyes, Gi-seok is the victim no matter what.
Everyone will feel so bad for him.
Yes, I'm such a bitch.
I mean, after saying he wants to...
That must be him.
Are you sure?
I did hear someone walking up the stairs.
What should I say to him?
Nothing. Just apologize to him.
Do I really owe him an apology?
Are you becoming like Gi-seok? Why can't you say sorry?
Hey, I've said sorry to Ji-ho so many times.
That's because you're such a troublemaker. Ji-ho is so understanding.
- Aren't you leaving? - Oh, I'm off.
- All right. - Hey.
I'm going to sleep here if he slams the door in my face!
- Is my place your private motel? - Yes, it is. Didn't you know?
- Gosh, you kill me. - I'll call you!
I'm taking a shower now.
What are you thinking?
Will you keep talking with no clothes on?
Just give me ten seconds.
Jeong-in, seriously.
I'll let go if you're not mad at me.
If you're mad at me, we can talk like this.
What did you do wrong?
I didn't tell you.
I met up with Gi-seok without telling you.
That's true.
So I'm not the only one at fault.
I didn't mean to hide it from you.
Do you want some coffee?
I had some beer at Yeong-ju's place.
- What about you? - I need to drive you home.
I'm going to sleep here.
What? Can't I do that?
Well, it's not that you can't.
Then what?
I bet you'll faint if I really sleep here.
I'll be sleeping at Yeong-ju's.
You're here to apologize, so go ahead.
I'm sorry.
I should've said that first, but I kept beating around the bush.
I accepted the ring he gave me.
This will sound like an excuse,
but I had no choice.
To be really honest with you,
I don't deserve to throw it at him
or chuck it away.
When it comes to that failed relationship, I am the culprit.
It couldn't have been an easy decision.
You must've agonized over it.
I learned it from you.
Unlike you, I'm not such a wonderful person.
A while ago,
when you told me about Eun-u's mom,
I beat myself up a lot.
It made me realize that all the whining I was doing
was extremely selfish and inconsiderate.
Without you, I would've never known.
From now on,
I'm going to try to become like you.
Aren't you teary-eyed now because you don't want that?
Gosh.
You're still such a fool.
I'm making myself some coffee.
Where does Ji-ho live?
Why?
My sister just said she isn't coming home tonight.
She said she's at Yeong-ju's place, but I don't buy it.
So will you go to his place and drag her out?
No way. This is such a great opportunity.
Doesn't Yeong-ju live in his building?
I'll go see if she's there or not
and use it to make her give me an allowance.
- Jae-in. - What?
You're such a bully.
It's always the beggars who care about their dignity.
Anyway, what's Ji-ho's unit number?
Are you trying to be loyal?
Can you do something about that photo?
(ONE SPRING NIGHT)
Most people won't approve of your relationship.
In others' eyes, you're just someone who cheated on her decent boyfriend.
Everyone will badmouth you.
Even if people talk shit about me, I won't regret meeting Ji-ho.
I held myself back because of you.
Did we commit a crime or what?
I'll tell them everything. He can't keep doing this.
Jeong-in said there's a guy she likes.
Tell her I'd meet him.
Tell Ji-ho this.
He has to stay by her side no matter what anyone says.
He mustn't let her go even if they have to elope.
Do whatever you want.
Ask me to meet up and visit me.
I'll put up with anything.
I'll think that I'm paying for hurting you,
so bug me all you want. But don't bother Ji-ho.
If you do, I'll do anything to stop you.
It's nice to cry sometimes.
I get to see you at this hour.
- By the way, what is this place? - Where people kiss secretly.
