[ Episode 31] Where did you fall for him?
When you fell for the first man?
On a train.
Then...
by any chance...
was he a soldier?
How did you know that, Koo Joon Hwi?
Do you know that soldier ahjussi?
Of course.
I know him well.
[ Anne of Green Gables ]
I'll give it back to you. Your book.
[ Anne of Green Gables ]
That means...
that soldier ahjussi was...
you, Koo Joon Hwi?
Your taste is quite definite.
Falling for the same guy twice.
Amazing.
What?
Right now,
I've fallen for you.
It doesn't make any sense.
I can't believe it!
I'm also incredulous.
How did you know it was me?
Did you remember me this whole time?
No way.
All I could remember was your long water ghoul hair.
Right!
My hair got stuck in your backpack zipper!
Right?
I guess so.
Ow! It hurts!
We will be arriving at Kudun Station shortly.
- What? - Let's get off together.
Ouch!
Hey, hey!
- Hey, are you crazy? - Please get off.
I'm mad all over again.
I had completely forgotten.
I'm sorry, ahjussi.
That was all my fault.
What do you mean, "ahjussi?"
Koo Joon Hwi, yes.
Never mind me.
How could you forget the face of the first guy you fell for?
Like you, Koo Joon Hwi,
that's not a day I want to recall.
Why?
It was the worst day of my life.
But...
what is that day for you?
It's similar.
It was the worst day for me, too.
We had our tea.
I should get going.
I have to draw up the sentencing.
I have dinner plans with Joon Hwi, too.
You're having dinner with Joon Hwi?
Yes.
Joon Hwi has been so sweet to me for some reason.
Joon Hwi will...
take care of this incident and transfer to an international branch.
How will you take responsibility?
No need to see me out.
Even though the security shooed away the reporters,
there might be a few who are back.
Thank you.
Always.
Take care.
[ Anne of Green Gables ]
Do you think this is pure coincidence?
What else would it be?
That's what I'm saying.
For it to be a coincidence, it's a bit...
I feel something like fate.
I feel so strange.
Why did we end up meeting again?
How come you happen to be that solder ahjussi?
It is a coincidence.
Fate is not all that, as one would like to believe.
It's about willpower,
not some divine message.
About willpower?
If you dodge it, it's a coincidence,
and if you accept it, it's fate.
You're going to dodge me?
What else would I do?
Right.
It's not a big deal. Falling for the same guy twice.
You're right.
I'm sure it's not a big deal.
Koo Joon Hwi and that soldier ahjussi, too.
I already have this book.
I'll give it to you, Koo Joon Hwi.
To commemorate our paths crossing again.
It's okay.
Then...
to commemorate us parting ways.
I have to pack lightly.
Pack?
Why don't we get some coffee?
To commemorate our parting.
Okay.
I'll get it.
I never got to treat you to dinner.
Oh, just a second.
By the way,
hot or iced?
Hot.
Eat first, then tell me.
It's easy to speak of caretaking.
It's an all-consuming job.
Here.
You eat, too, Mom.
Let me see you eat first.
Careful, it's hot. Eat slowly.
It's hot.
I'll eat when it cools down a bit.
What did my mother-in-law say?
Nothing.
She barged in and left after spouting nonsense.
Is something going on between you and her?
There's always something going on.
It's nothing big.
Your eldest daughter is good at taking blows that come her way.
Don't worry.
Mom...
By the way...
do you know Moon Hae Rang?
She was Cheong Ah's classmate.
How do you know Moon Hae Rang?
She's his secretary.
I was at the hospital with Cheong Ah
and ran into her.
You're saying...
Cheong Ah met that wench?
Yes.
But what about her?
What in the world happened that you're acting this way?
Mom.
She...
bullied Cheong Ah.
What?
Bullied?
And...
she's your husband's secretary?
Gosh.
I've always wanted to meet her one day
and ask her why she did that to Cheong Ah.
But now that she's your husband's secretary,
I can't even do that.
Mom.
Didn't you...
go there to stop Cheong Ah that day?
Does that mean Cheong Ah also...
Am I right?
What I'm thinking is the case, right?
You're headed to Eunjin High School, right?
Yes.
Eunjin High School is over there right down the road.
Okay.
Then, I guess...
we'll say our goodbyes now.
Do you want to shake hands?
What?
If we don't shake hands, would we hug?
It was great to meet you all over again, Soldier ahjussi.
I was happy that you're soldier ahjussi
although it was for a brief moment.
Thank you for recovering a nice memory from that day.
♫ After getting through a day ♫
I'm leaving for an international branch.
What?
So...
That's why...
this is the end.
♫ My footsteps feel so heavy ♫
♫ This path has gone uphill, blankly ♫
I was told that you're pretty when you look for a long time.
It's a pity I won't get to look for a long time.
Take care.
Become a good cop.
♫ Above their footprints, ♫
I'm leaving.
Come back safe.
Have a good trip, Koo Joon Hwi.
♫ I'm trying to go out again ♫
♫ Though I'll look back as I get farther away ♫
♫ I'm walking on... ♫
Don't let Cheong Ah know that you know.
She must be shocked, running into her out of the blue.
She can't tell you since she's your husband's secretary.
Why did that wench have to reappear
and poke at an old wound?
It probably doesn't even cross her mind.
Because of her, my Cheong Ah...
What an ill-fated of an encounter this is.
She couldn't stop at Cheong Ah...
that she comes after me?
What?
What are you talking about?
Come after you? Ill-fated?
Well...
She's so ill-mannered.
She is so rude and has no respect.
That's why.
What?
Feet! Move your feet!
Maintain your posture!
Nice!
Harder!
Relax. Your legs, your legs!
Great work, Kim Yeon Ah!
[ Check List ]
Focus. Okay!
Once again.
Focus until the end.
Okay! Great, Kim Yeon Ah.
That's all for today.
Okay?
[ Check List ]
You've been staring creepily.
Who are you, ahjussi?
Are you spying on me?
No.
I'm here to scout you.
Scout?
Me?
Yeah.
Would I be able to meet your parents?
Amazing.
You're not pulling my leg, are you?
No, I'm not.
Contact your parents.
Wow! Amazing!
Coach! I've been scouted!
Wow! Amazing!
This is amazing!
Amazing!
Awesome! Yeah!
Amazing!
Please sit down for a moment.
I'll get my dad right away.
Yeah.
Dad.
Are you ready?
Her father was a basketball player.
Do you think this is pure coincidence?
It's fate?
Seol Ah...
By chance...
do you have a younger sister?
I don't.
I don't have any family.
An announcer?
Yes.
I remember seeing her when we did the house search.
That announcer asked to see a warrant,
so we couldn't confiscate the girl's computer.
Ahjussi, this is my dad.
Ahjussi.
Yeon Ah told me the gist of it on the phone.
I am Kim Young Woong.
Right...
we're not on an equal plane.
Please sit down and let me hear the terms.
This is the training plan and funding contract
for Kim Yeon Ah for the next five years.
Please review it and give me a call.
Inter Mar...
Inter Market?
Why? What's the big deal?
Should I reject an opportunity of a lifetime because of Seol Ah?
Seol Ah? Don't you dare...
Shut your mouth.
I saw the portrait.
I didn't know that your daughter is our vice-chairman's wife.
S I am quite flustered.
Look here.
Young man, no... Mister.
What you saw today...
You cannot share this with anyone. Never.
Please do me this favor.
Dad...
Why can't I?
Oh, Cheong Ah.
Koo Joon Hwi?
What?
Do you know each other?
How do you know him, Cheong Ah?
Did you go to the school earlier to see Yeon Ah?
Koo Joon Hwi?
Koo Joon Hwi!
Kim Cheong Ah.
Kim Seol Ah.
Why did you hide from me that you are sisters?
The fact that my sister is your company's vice-chairman's wife.
You're mad because I didn't tell you that?
Can you pretend you didn't see or hear anything?
There's a reason beneath it all.
Please try to understand.
So why? Why should I?
I have to know why in order to pretend!
I'd have to know you...
I'd have to know who you are to understand.
Koo Joon Hwi.
What...
What are you lying about, Kim Cheong Ah?
Acting as an orphan when she has a family,
what is your sister hiding?
I went there to kill myself.
That day to Kudun Station.
To kill myself with someone I met for the first time.
But he died by himself.
I dove into the water to save him, but by then...
I was so scared and scatterbrained...
I felt so badly toward his mom,
I felt so badly toward my mom...
So, I lied.
That he died trying to rescue me.
I met a really interesting girl.
She almost makes me want to forget about dying.
It's really fun to hang out with her.
I wanted to protect his mom.
And protect my mom, too.
No...
Perhaps,
I wanted to protect myself the most.
But then, my sister ended up getting married into that family.
Cutting off ties with the family
was the terms of her marriage.
My sister...
lives with a ticking bomb.
Even still, she's hanging off the edge of a cliff.
His mom and his brother don't know anything.
I hope that...
they don't find out until the very end.
Do you think that's possible?
Then, until it's no longer possible, at least.
Why?
I think it would make him sad.
If his mom and brother get hurt because of him.
That's all it takes to hurt you?
Do you recall?
What you did to my sister.
It's something I did when I was immature.
I deeply regret it.
What?
Something you did when you were immature?
What about the person at the receiving end?
What about Cheong Ah whom you hurt!
If you deeply regret it,
that's the end of it?
I truly believe that my actions were wrong.
Ever since Cheong Ah dropped out of school,
I felt uneasy all along.
I'm telling you the truth.
The truth, the truth...
Every time you open your mouth, the truth...
If you truthfully regret, if you truthfully repent,
and if you truthfully apologize, then that's it?
Did my sister forgive you?
Did Cheong Ah forgive you?
You've never apologized to the victim.
How dare you forgive yourself?
I was going to apologize to Cheong Ah.
It's late, but I would like to be forgiven.
Until Cheong Ah forgives me,
I'll plead and...
I'll keep apologizing.
What?
You're a scary one.
I just have newfound courage.
I learned that there might never be a next time.
That I may suddenly vanish from this world one day.
Now I know.
"Cheong Ah. You keep living.
You must live.
Because you're a victim.
Live long for my sake.
Just like today, be happy even for a dish of ttukboki.
Be grateful for a breeze.
For my sake...
live happily."
This is what he wrote in the letter he left me.
I wanted to follow it.
To live that way.
I'm doing my best.
This is me.
Do you know why he set out to take his own life?
I don't know why.
He just said...
he became a monster.
Monster?
Anything else?
I think he said someone's name...
But I can't remember.
Someone's name...
Why are you asking me about him?
I have dinner plans.
I have to go.
What?
I'll get going.
Oh, wait...
I'm leaving for an international branch.
Goodbye.
There's something in your hair.
Oh, yeah?
Got it.
Gosh, my goodness.
Hey. Talk to me for a second.
I have nothing to say to you.
Can we talk?
We're looking to change the hospital.
I'll submit my sister's letter of resignation on Monday.
I'll close the restaurant, too.
That might take a while, so I ask you for your patience.
That's all we have to say, right?
I'm leaving.
We better not get photographed together and get slapped or something.
I'm on my way to pray.
What?
Praying, all of a sudden?
Why are you looking at me like that?
How am I looking at you?
"Why do you like that way?"
Like that.
"Why do you put up with such humiliation?"
That's what I'm thinking.
I can't possibly understand it.
Of course.
You're an ordinary person. You can't possibly understand.
Ordinary people cannot understand us.
It sounds like you think you're a very special person.
Am I not?
If I'm not special, then who else is special in this country?
I studied in order to become special.
I became an announcer.
To become even more special, I married my husband.
As you found out,
even by ditching my family.
Is that so?
Not much bang for the buck.
And you don't look that special to me anyway.
You are weird, though.
Both you and your mother-in-law.
One is always unexpected and
the other one is always boorish.
At the garage yesterday, you looked like a lovely cockroach couple.
you looked like a lovely cockroach couple.
Do we really look that disgusting and creepy?
Yes.
Disgusting, creepy...
I felt betrayed.
Funny, huh?
I was embarrassed, too.
For the first time toward you.
I never felt anything before.
But yesterday, I felt mortified,
and I kept coming back to it.
I guess I wanted to explain myself.
Seeing that I grabbed you unconsciously.
Well,
it's a different situation now.
Why are you looking at me like that now?
How am I looking at you?
Like I'm pathetic.
I'm looking at you like you're special.
What?
You said you're special yourself.
You also look...
special to me, too.
Kim Seol Ah.
All of a sudden?
Right?
I'm leaving.
Ask Seol Ah, get her permission,
and then decide.
This isn't...
something your mom or I can decide on our own.
Dad is correct, Yeon Ah.
I'll text Seol Ah.
Once Seol Ah calls, we'll discuss,
then we'll make a decision.
I never imagined you'd respond this way.
You saw the contract.
They'll send me on overseas tours.
If I want, they'll send me to a tennis school in Spain.
You don't know how famous that school is!
You don't know anything!
The clueless one
is that punk, Koo Joon Hwi!
Popping out of nowhere to make her restless.
He's done when he leaves here,
but what about the aftermath?
How come you're just listening to us?
You left with him.
You must've talked about me.
About seeing Seol Ah's photo at our house...
You made sure that he won't spread it at the office, right?
Yes.
He's not the type to spread rumors.
He's a good man.
The more I get to know him.
The champagne is so good, isn't it?
Yeah.
Can you hold your liquor?
Yeah.
I don't drink often,
but I can hold my liquor.
You know that?
Yeah.
You're thinking about something else, huh?
Yeah.
Huh?
How could you change overnight?
I boasted about you to Seol Ah earlier today.
My mouth is embarrassed
and wants me to tell you.
My sister lives with a ticking bomb.
Even still, she's hanging off the edge of a cliff.
His mom and his brother don't know anything.
Mom.
Yeah?
To be honest,
I've been looking for that girl.
Joon Gyeom.
What?
Did you find her?
No.
Why would you want to meet her?
I wonder if she knows the side of Joon Gyeom
that I've never known.
I feel like you and I...
have missed something.
Of course, I'm sure there is.
I didn't even know that my son had a girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Like you, I didn't believe her in the beginning.
Then?
She's trustworthy. She's a good kid.
I trust her. I do.
Stop looking for her.
I don't want you to meet her.
I don't want you to think about her.
I wouldn't be able to meet her even if I wanted to.
I'll be transferring to Spain soon.
What?
I don't know who you are, but I'm asleep.
Aren't you going to work?
I'm going.
I'll just lie down until 11:40 p.m.
How come...
your face is all restless since earlier today?
As though you got dumped or something.
Can you tell?
Gosh.
I wish I did get dumped.
I heard...
you met Moon Hae Rang.
Gosh. Why did Seol Ah have to tell you?
Is that why you couldn't sleep?
I can't sleep.
I can't imagine how you feel when I'm feeling this way.
Perhaps because I always imagined meeting her.
When I actually met her, it wasn't as scary as it was back in school.
I could breathe. I could make eye contact.
I was able to study.
I had mad hiccups, though.
Your body is reacting first.
Even if you think it's okay.
But still.
Compared to what Seol Ah's going through, it's nothing.
I've never called him, "brother-in-law."
There will be a day, right?
If he doesn't wake up,
I'll never forgive him, Mom.
I won't forgive him for all of eternity.
Forgive?
What an ill-fated of an encounter this is.
Cheong Ah wasn't enough for her,
that she had to come after me?
Cheong Ah.
Huh?
What's the matter, Mom?
Your brother-in-law...
When he got into the accident, he was...
alone with Moon Hae Rang, right?
Yeah.
What about that?
[ Episode 32 ]
Who's here?
Ms. Moon's brother...
Shall I ask him to leave?
No.
Let him be.
He's here of his own volition?
How brazen of him.
Director Cha, you may leave.
Oh, yes.
What...
Not even a hello?
I'll greet you once you make eye contact with me.
Then, let's skip the greeting part and get right to business.
Don't sit. Keep standing.
[ Letter of Resignation ]
When I talked to your sister on the phone earlier,
she didn't mention anything.
Could it be that this doesn't reflect Ms. Moon's intents,
but you rather?
Yes.
Are you really her biological brother?
It's tough to get a job these days.
Are you really looking out for your sister's interest?
Before I look out for her,
I feel that I must protect her from the company.
The company forces her to testify falsely like it's nothing.
I'm concerned about what it will ask her to do next.
People don't do everything they're told to do.
People do things they want to do.
Rumors are rife around the office building.
You should consider your son and watch yourself.
What?
Please accept this letter of resignation.
Stop using my sister.
Alright, then.
Gosh. Who does he think he is?
Gosh. My nerves. My nerves!
Geez.
Yes, it's Moon Tae Rang.
Your little sister is...
Moon Hae Rang, correct?
Pardon?
Oh, yes.
And she's my son-in-law's secretary.
Yes.
Which hospital room is she in?
Your sister's hospital room.
I need to confirm something right away.
Haven't you left for work yet?
You're just coming home from work?
Yeah.
Are you okay leaving this late?
I'm about to leave right now.
Is something wrong?
Nothing, Father.
I'll be back then.
[ Moon Hae Rang ]
What should I do?
[ Letter of Resignation ] Should I accept it or rip it up?
Who would you like to choose?
Your brother or Jin Woo?
Your choice.
Tough?
This is tough?
What's tough?
Jin Woo's wife, without a hint of hesitation,
cut off ties with her family and came to our house.
I'd like for you to accept the letter of resignation.
However, until the vice-chairman wakes up,
let me stay by his bedside.
That's all I want.
What?
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Okay.
I understand.
Stay true to your heart, and stay by my son's side
with utmost devotion.
I can't give you the wife role just yet.
But, Jin Woo's hospital bed...
I can give you that.
Pardon?
So that my daughter-in-law is exhausted
and wants out on her own will.
If you can stick it out
until the divorce proceedings are over,
I'll give you Kim Seol Ah's place.
As long as you work with me to
protect Jin Woo and his money.
Chairwoman.
I'll persist.
I'll make her run out of steam and get out.
I can persist.
One year, two years...
No, ten years, 20 years...
I can persist until the day the vice-chairman wakes up.
Who are you?
"Who are you?"
Ask this woman who I am.
"This woman?"
Are you people even human?
I said, are you even human?
What? "You people?"
"You people?"
How could you do this?
Your son took her because he loved her.
Your son was crazy about my daughter.
It had to be her. No one else.
He said he would make her happy, no matter what.
What we couldn't do for her,
you and your son were supposed to do for her.
I sent her, knowing that I shouldn't.
It was enough for one of our kids to have a good life.
I wanted at least one of them
to break free from us.
And...
what now?
She may have married empty-handed,
but you all lived together for nine years.
In the same house.
Together, as one family.
As a wife, as a daughter-in-law!
My Seol Ah lived in your house for nine years.
And you're thinking of kicking my daughter out
over such a thing as money?
And at that,
ganging up with this disgusting b****
that your son had an affair with?
"Such a thing as money?"
How much of it do you have? Such a thing as money.
You have none.
You've never had any, your whole life.
That's why you can say that.
Have you ever given away 1 million with no strings attached?
It's not about "such a thing as money."
It's about your daughter,
who married my son because of such a thing as money!
Do you think she's sticking around because she loves my son?
Not at all.
She's sticking around to inherit my son's assets.
What did you say?
Go to your daughter, and ask her if she loves my son.
This girl isn't someone who had an affair with my son.
This is a girl that my son loves.
If you were my son's mother,
who would you want by your son's bedside?
What if your daughter unhooks the IV when nobody's watching?
Then what do we do?
You think you can yak on with that mouth of yours?
Don't you dare speak of my daughter with your filthy mouth!
Why are you acting this way?
Don't you know who I am?
We've been ordered to stop you from entering.
I apologize.
What did you say?
If that's your wish,
take your precious daughter with you while you're here.
She's leeched on tight.
I wasn't sure how to deal with her.
Why?
You don't want that?
This is why I hate the ones who
have nothing, but have even less pride.
Even if you had nothing,
were you to maintain pride like this girl,
I'd give out opportunities and give out money, too.
How dare you compare this low-life to my daughter?
They say birds of the feather flock together.
Do you think I won't take her back if you dare me?
Oh, yeah?
Then why don't we go up together
and take her home in front of my eyes?
Fine!
I don't want my daughter spending another second with you.
You'll be reaping what you sow.
What you've sowed in my Cheong Ah and Seol Ah's life...
Take note and remember.
Even if the Heavens let you off the hook,
I won't leave you alone.
I'm prepared.
What?
Please open the door, Mother.
Why do I have to?
You're dismissed.
Someone's here to pick up the trash.
Seol Ah.
Mom.
Come home with me.
No need to say anything. Come with me.
To Dad.
To Cheong Ah and Yeon Ah.
Let's go to our home.
Then...
farewell.
Stop it.
You go in and then what?
Get kicked out by that woman anyway?
Get dragged out by the security guards?
I can't send you in there.
I can't, not that woman.
How could I send you to a place like that?
To that horrific woman.
How can I send you to her?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
For letting you see me like this.
For breaking your heart again.
I'm so sorry.
But I can't leave.
My life is in there.
I haven't even lived it out properly yet.
He's lying there like that.
How could I end it here?
Then...
you'll go back in there,
and be treated like trash?
She says your husband's heart has left you.
She says your husband doesn't love you
but loves another woman.
Let me try a little longer, Mom.
Until I'm exhausted, Mom.
If I leave now,
I'd just be doing a favor for Mother and that b****.
She's doing this to kick me out penniless.
Why should I have to suffer that fate?
I won't.
If it has to end, I'll end it.
I won't let my life be usurped by those two.
She says she'll divorce them.
She asked me to stick it out until then.
Then she'll give me that woman's place.
My mom found out.
I'm all found out.
♫ After getting through a day ♫
What do I do about my mom?
What do I do now?
♫ Of this path that has been decided for me ♫
♫ My footsteps feel so heavy ♫
Give me the strength to persist.

♫ I've closed my eyes, I'm lost ♫
♫ There's only one streetlight shining ♫

You just hold on to a fishing rod and sit there.
Get up.
Come on.

Pastrasche draws the milk carriage. I'm talking about Pavlov.
Responding to every stimulus with his mouth wide open.
How come you're not responding?
Am I a stray mutt to you?
Woof!
Woof, woof!
Mom, are you crying?
Why are you crying?
Because of me?
Because Seol Ah said no?
Everything's okay, Mom. Don't cry.
Tell Seol Ah to have a nice life.
I'll succeed as a tennis player and throw you in the lap of luxury.
Promise.
If I win the major tournament, the award is 3.5 billion won.
Tell Seol Ah to wait and see! Seriously.
Huh?
Don't cry.
Did we pick a bad spot?
How could we not catch even one fish?
Looks like we'll be leaving empty-handed.
It'll come once you empty your mind.
How can I empty my mind?
I see a neon-colored bait in front of me.
What would you do with the fish?
What?
You're not a chef like me,
and you're not in a situation to take it home.
Sure, that's true, but still,
I've poured a lot of time and energy into it.
Stop pouring energy and take a breath.
I wanted you to catch a breath,
so I worked up the courage to bring you here.
Lean your upper body back like this,
and sit like me.
Come on.
Okay. Release the tension in your body.
Close your eyes.
Stay like this for just one hour.
Doing nothing, thinking about nothing...
Do you like me?
Probably?
I think you've grown on me.
Through all the ugliness.
Do you want to be friends?
Friends?
You said you don't have any friends.
Can a guy and a girl be friends?
Even if I couldn't do it,
I bet you could, Kim Seol Ah.
That's true...
but still...
All right.
- Then I won't... - Let's be...
friends.
Let's just be friends.
Friends who have a heart to heart once in a while.
I'm confident I can do that.
I think I'll be lonely.
When I'm alone again.
I'm not sure about loneliness.
But I'll make sure you're not alone.
I'm confident I can do that.
Gosh. I'm nervous.
I'm nervous again.
What do I do?
Stop shaking.
I'm more nervous because of you.
I won't be nervous.
She failed 14 times.
Shouldn't we face the 15th failure with fortitude?
Yes, that's right.
14 failures, 15 failures, same difference.
Failure is the mother of success.
To say that, Cheong Ah has failed one too many times.
Hey!
How are you so sure that she'll fail?
Then...
do you think she passed?
Well...
she might pass.
Why would you assume that our Cheong Ah would fail?
- If she had a lucky day... - She never...
has luck with exams.
Hey.
Go get her.
I'll be in the room.
Geez.
You go.
You go up to her. Hurry!
Me?
No, I don't want to.
Geez, my stomach...
Mom, I need to use the bathroom.
Hey!
Mother.
Whoa. Rim!
Come in, come in!
What happened to Cheong Ah?
Passed?
She passed, right?
Hey, well, I...
couldn't bring myself to...
Hey.
Why don't you go up and see what happened?
Okay.
Gosh, I can't look. I can't look.
I'm coming in.
Wait. I haven't checked yet.
What?
You haven't even checked yet?
- Why bother checking? - I bet it's a pass.
No way.
No way or yes way. Let's look for ourselves.
What's your exam ID?
Scoot over.
Kim Cheong Ah, your exam ID.
20275.
20275...
20... 275...
Hey, Cheong Ah.
It's okay. Just tell me.
You...
Dude...
You'll be a cop!
What?
Why? Move.
Move over.
[ 20275: Kim Cheong Ah ]
What? I can't believe it.
Mom...
Mom, I passed!
You better yell it out so they can all hear.
Mom!
Dad! Yeon Ah! I passed!
I can't believe it!
Oh, my gosh!
Cheong Ah!
Are you for real?
You really passed?
Yeah.
Amazing!
Honey!
Our Cheong Ah is a police officer!
Mom, I passed.
Thank you, Mom.
Good job, good job.
You worked so hard.
You're flying out tomorrow, right?
Your mom gave me a talking to.
She was angry, even.
Mixing business with personal matters. Very unlike her.
Cutting off ties with the family was the terms of her marriage.
Have a seat before you go.
It'll be at least a year before I see you again.
Where's Seol Ah?
She must be exhausted already.
She doesn't show up to the hospital,
and she hasn't been home for days.
I looked into it,
and she's having the time of her life at a hotel.
You didn't kick her out, too, like me?
Jin Woo is alive, Auntie.
To me, you treat him like he's dead the most.
What did you say?
What do you know to run your mouth like that?
Please give my apology to Seol Ah for not saying goodbye.
All because I met her sister first.
What?
You met her sister?
Why?
Why would you?
Tell her not to worry. Cheong Ah doesn't know who I am.
And also tell her that I hope she never finds out.
Joon... Joon Hwi.
Well, your... your mom...
She doesn't know, right?
Yes.
I'm putting up with you and Seol Ah, all for my mom.
Make sure she doesn't find out.
If my mom finds out,
I won't sit back and watch, Auntie.
I texted you an hour and a half ago,
and you call me back now? Isn't this too much?
I'll be at the fifth-floor garden, so meet me there.
I have something to tell you.
If not in the hospital room, where are you?
Where?
The chapel?
I see.
This isn't where the chapel is.
No, it's nothing bad.
It's just that...
I passed, Unni!
What do I do?
I might really become a cop!
I still have to do the interview,
but I'm so happy with the fact that I'm alive today, Unni.
Yeah.
Where is the chapel?
I'll come over now.
I'm so glad that you passed.
Yeah.
By the way, is something wrong?
Why are you here instead of the hospital room?
I got kicked out.
From the hospital room and the house.
What?
Why?
Because I'm the heiress.
You mean you got kicked out because of money?
So that she can take over Jin Woo's assets?
It's a fortune, that's why.
Where are you staying right now, then?
A hotel near the hospital.
This is nonsense.
I'm going to go home today.
It's disadvantageous for me to stay out.
I'll get back to his bedside somehow.
I have to stick it out at home.
I can't let my mother steamroll me anymore.
Once the inheritance suit commences, there will be articles,
so don't be shocked.
She told me to file for a divorce settlement.
What?
Divorce settlement?
She wants me to take the alimony and get out.
Don't worry.
I'm the one holding the whip.
Unless I file for divorce myself, they can't force it on me.
So...
you two are fighting over money with a sick man lying there?
I don't want to engage,
but she keeps picking fights.
I have to defend myself with my life.
What is it exactly that you must protect?
Is it Jin Woo or his money?
No.
Jin Woo and his money come later.
What you really must protect is yourself, Unni.
Your life.
My life?
Don't treat your life recklessly, Unni.
Don't hurt it as I did.
My life and your life.
They've met the wrong people and going through Hell.
Don't you feel bad?
[ Divorce Settlement Request ]
Fill it out.
If you want your alimony, at least.
You're getting divorced anyway.
Don't you prefer a private settlement rather than going to trial
and getting flayed inside out?
I have no intention of getting divorced.
Especially like this, forced into it...
Why should you decide?
Because I'm his wife.
If you don't do as I say,
I'll disseminate this photo to the media.
Just like you did when you married my son.
What shall we do?
Do you want to rope him into the fight?
You'll get doxxed in less than half a day.
His family and even your family will be out in the open, too.
Do you think I'm not capable of it?
If you return home a divorcee and an adultress on top of that...
how would your mom feel?
She thinks her daughter is absolutely spotless.
Once she sees this photo, what will she think?
I am the one holding the whip. Not you.
Decide here and now.
Will you protect the money,
or will you protect your family and that jerk?
I will...
divorce.
In exchange,
let me stay by his bedside
until the divorce settlement is over.
I want to say...
a proper goodbye to him.
"The most mundane of the days
we have spent together,
are ultimately passionate times
that have long passed by us,
and is a thing of beauty, never to be replicated.
Therefore, our love
was a miracle full of fragmentary memories
and their brilliance."
♫ Standing here right now ♫
♫ While I hesitate, people are passing by ♫
♫ Above their footprints, I'm leaving behind ♫
♫ All the things I cherished ♫
