All language subtitles for A thousand days promis E06

I trust and feel more comfortable with you
than the other part-time workers.

Does it make any sense that you want to quit
in order to work part-time elsewhere?

How can you do this?

- Noona.
- If you have a problem, tell me.

There is no problem.

I already told you,

even if the skies split apart
I can't slip up now.

Even if I die I have to get a steady job.

I just want some time to use flexibly.

My sister is adamant about it.

She wanted me to quit all my jobs but
I couldn't do that because of the money-

Hey! How can you only look out for yourself?

My sister's working herself to death.

If I laze about without a stable
job for a year or two,

how could I possibly face my sister?

Then all you need to do is get hired.

That's enough, let him go now.

We all have our own lives
and our own problems.

If you have problems,
say it to me, that's enough.

Moon Kwon, go.

Go, go, go, you can go.

- Did you hire someone?
- I did.

Who?

- Sung Shik.
- Why him?

He's so lazy it drives me crazy!

He's the only one who picked up his
phone, what can I do about that?

Forget it!

That's why they say people don't know
when to be thankful!

I don't need family or anything!

- I don't need any of it!
- How can you say such a thing?

Am I wrong?

Yes?

She left.

She didn't say one word,
she won't look at me.

She's furious.

She's not angry at you,
don't worry about it.

Yeah.

Just let her be.

If she left for work, that's enough.

You need to go to the hospital, don't you?

Hello.

You're here early. Please, come in.

I thought there would be traffic
so I left early, but there wasn't.

That happens sometimes.

You've come before the film crew.

Have a drink and wait a few,
they'll be here soon.

I'll get it for you,
shall I get you something cold?

Could I have a cup of coffee?
It doesn't matter if it's instant.

All right.

- Please take a seat.
- Yes.

You'll be doing the interview
sitting in this seat.

You've been busy, right?

I'm suddenly getting requests
for a lot of interviews.

I have another interview in the afternoon.

Oh right, I've prepared a few pictures.

When you leave, I'll give it to you
with the books so you don't forget.

Thank you.

Since you've had a lot of experience
giving lectures,

I'm not worried about the interview.

Because you published my book,
I'm getting a lot of good experience.

And I've become more popular
with the students.

That's great.

- Team Manager, may I go?
- Yes, continue with your work.

Do you really like coffee?

If we make the windows large,
it'll be fine during the winter,

but in the summer, you'll have to have the curtains
drawn for the entire day because of the sunlight.

We'll have to decide which side we want as the front,

check how the seasons will affect it,

and then decide on what we'll do
with the windows.

Even the house we're living in right now
has too much sunlight,

we tried blocking it,
but it barely made a difference.

It's a nightmare every summer.

Right, that's...

The city tends to get warmer.

When you're in the city,
the nights feel even hotter.

In the country, you're surrounded by trees, so you
don't have to worry about sweltering nights.

But it's difficult to avoid the sunlight during the day.

We've only lived in houses, never built
one, so we don't know anything.

Please, feel free to do as you see fit.

Yes, you shouldn't feel too worried.

But it would be great if you could tell us
what you want as much as possible.

You can draw the image
you have in mind of the house,

and pictures are fine as well.

- Good bye.
- Bye.

What's with you?

If you've made your decision, tell them.

Tell them and do your job!

I'm going out.

A guy who's carrying a suicide bomb
probably has it better than you!

Screw that marriage,
why put yourself through it?

The makgeolli* and potato pancakes here are famous.
(*makgeolli is a type of alcoholic beverage)

Soo Jung, would you like
to have a drink of makgeolli?

You're going to stink of alcohol,
why do you want to drink makgeolli?

It's not like we're going to kiss.
What do you think, Director Park?

Let's just have some beer.

You've already hit a countless number
of balls out of bounds.

How are you going to play after you drink?

How many times have you called a mulligan?
How is that golf?

Oh, really.

I'm not going to drink until I get drunk.

Look here.

When I play with other people I'm fine,

but whenever I'm with her
I hit the ball out of bounds.

Let's go in.

Please, sit, sit, Doctor Kang.

- Yes, please sit.
- Right.

- Hello.
- A makgeolli and potato pancake here.

Yes, Chairman.

- What would you like?
- I'd like some coffee.

- Coffee, and you?
- Persimmon juice.

Yes.

Why don't you decide what to call her?

Doctor Kang, in-law, Soo Jung,

isn't it difficult to change it every time?

Mrs. Park sometimes reminds me
of Soo Jung from long ago,

or as Doctor Kang in the hospital,

and even Hyang Gi's mother-in-law.

That's why every time I see her,
I address her differently.

Choose one, it's confusing.

You're nitpicking over nothing.

Who here can't follow?

If I called you, Director Park, Doctor Park,
Chang Joo, or in-law,

and changed it up all the time,
how would you feel?

Wouldn't it be dizzying?

It's been a long time since you started
addressing me as Director Park.

Chang Joo is what I called you long ago,

and then you became Doctor Park,

and the day you became the director of the hospital
I immediately changed it to Director Park.

- You can't even get that straight?
- All right, all right, let's end it here.

And why do you act as if
you have no manners?

Why do you keep touching the ball?

It's humiliating,
I'm going to die from embarrassment.

- When the ball's on the tee-
- But it's not on the tee!

Do you know how angry people
you're playing with feel?

You know it's a long-time habit of mine,

do you need to grumble about everything?

Just forget about it.

Do you like me that much?
Stop caring about me.

Don't look at me.

Soo Jung, have you been practicing?

Your swing has gotten much better.

What are you talking about?

No, she only comes out once in a while.

She gets dragged out every once in a while.

Your impact has gotten much better.

Stop giving such blatant lip service.

She doesn't even hit over a hundred with
the driver, what impact?

Oh really, you won't let me talk at all.

Thank you for the compliment, Chairman.

Must you criticize everything?

Oh, right...

Yeah, Oppa.
Hyang Gi.

I'm in the middle of packing my bags.

My clothes will get wrinkled
if I pack them beforehand,

so I left them out and
am packing everything else.

Things like pajamas, cosmetics.

Oh, really? You want to go out?

Are you around here?

Oh, you visited the construction site?

Okay, I'll run over
at the speed of lightning.

Oppa, hang up, I'm busy.

- He's in the room over there.
- Thank you.

Oppa, hi!

You ate lunch, right?

It's nearly five,
it's almost time to eat dinner.

Sit.

I guess you don't have time to eat dinner.

It's okay, I've been tiding myself over with
salad and a glass of milk these days.

I'm afraid I'm going to gain weight.

I'm so hungry.

When we go on vacation I'm going to eat
every meal; breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I'm going to eat a lot.

Don't worry.

Even if I do gain some weight, when I come back
I'll exercise to death and lose it quickly enough.

Why is no one coming?

- I'll get them.
- No, I'll get them.

- Yes?
- Yes?

I'd like some peppermint tea,
what about you?

- Seltzer water for me, please.
- Yes.

Is your business doing okay?

Dad said work in your field is difficult,
he's been worrying.

Even my dad's friend's son had to cut down
his hundred employees down to twenty.

We had to let some people go too,
last month.

Really?

I didn't know.

There was no reason to tell you.

But still, if it's concerning you
I should know about it too.

I feel stupid.

So that's why you were so busy.

You must've hated it.

I didn't even know anything and
bothered you.

I'm sorry.

- I won't do it anymore.
- Hyang Gi.

Yeah?

What is it?

Starting now-

It needs to steep a bit longer.

What is it?

Tell me.

Hyang Gi.

Yeah?

Starting now, I'm going to tell you something you
couldn't have fathomed, something nightmarish.

Do you need to shut down your business?

No, that's not it.

Then...

Then what?

I know it's ridiculous...

I know it shouldn't happen,
but it can't be helped.

You're pure and kind...

And you have parents who are
pragmatic and will support you.

What is it?

By any chance...
do you want to postpone it?

No matter how difficult things
may be at work,

- we can't postpone our wedding any longer-
- I can't...

marry you.

I'm sorry.

I know it won't make a difference even if
I say I'm sorry a million times.

How could you...?

Oppa, what's wrong?

You can deal with problems at work
once we get married.

If I tell dad about it behind my mom's back-

It's not that kind of problem.

Then... what kind...

Is there...
some other reason we can't get married?

- Yeah.
- Because of my mom?

Because my mom talks so recklessly to you?

That's not it. I...

I don't love you.

I like you.

But that's different from love.

Oppa, we...

- We...
- I know.

But this comfort level
we've long become accustomed to...

I had...
mistakenly thought that was love.

I don't love you.

Every summer for four years while
you were studying abroad,

I visited you in America and we ate
together, went on trips,

saw performances, musicals...

And we even slept together.

We spent every summer for the
past five years like that.

How could you say that now?
Such an absurd thing?

Our wedding is in two days.

If that was how you felt you should've...

You should've told me much earlier before.

If you did, I still wouldn't have
believed it, but still...

Everyone already knows, and the preparations
have all been completed.

How am I supposed to take care of this?

Oppa, how could you...
how could you do this to me?

- Hyang Gi.
- Is this a dream?

Am I dreaming?

I should faint.

I want to faint, but why can't I even faint?

Why can't I even faint?

This can't be happening.

No, no, Oppa, no...

Team Manager Lee, did you read
the manuscript I gave you before?

- Yes, I read it.
- What do you think?

It's easy to read, he takes care of even
difficult problems humorously,

it makes you feel good.

And it was impressive how he steadfastly stuck
to his original intentions throughout.

An annual salary of that much
at thirty two years of age...

Should I be envious or depressed?

I guess our fates are just different.

Designer Choi, have you gotten any ideas?

I don't think it'll be all that difficult.

I've spoken to Team Manager Lee about it,

I think we can develop
the concept immediately.

There's no need to work through the night,

let's all leave work at the proper time.

Yes.

Oh, right, Team Manager Lee.

Yes, Editor?

You look so tired, it doesn't seem
like you're in good condition.

Starting from tomorrow,
take a break for four days,

and start anew feeling refreshed on Monday.

We don't even have that much
work to do, all right?

No, I'm fine, Editor.

Take it when he offers.

If you're feeling under the weather, you
should take care of it immediately.

Right.

He's giving you some time off because he's in a
good mood after winning the 15,000 won lottery.

I'll decide when I wake up tomorrow.

Hermann Hesse, Eugene O'Neill, Doris Lessing,
John Coetzee, Francois Mauriac, Gabriel Garcia...

Gabriel Garcia...

Gabriel Garcia...

Gabriel Garcia...

You didn't leave for the day?

Gabriel Garcia...

Marquez... Marquez... Marquez...

I'm sorry.

Hyang Gi...

No, Oppa.

Don't talk.

Just be quiet.

Go over there.

Sit over there.

I'm going to look at your face
as I talk to you.

- Hyang Gi-
- I said I'm going to talk.

Just think of me as the worse person
you've met in your life.

Thanks... for liking me a lot.

And I'm as sorry as I am thankful.

But this kind of wedding, for your sake-

Don't worry about my sake,
you don't have to.

I thought it was the right
thing to tell you first.

I'm going to tell my parents, and
tomorrow I'll apologize to your parents.

Do you not know just how big a deal this is?

I know.

I don't want to.

I can't, I'm going to get married.

I'm going to wear my dress
and wait for you.

- Hyang Gi.
- You have to come.

No, you will come.

You will come.

I...

have someone else, Hyang Gi.

I couldn't tell you, because
we were going to be married.

I was going to end it.

But I just couldn't do it.

I can't.

Who is it?

Someone I've known for a long time.

We started seeing each other a year ago.

I'm a bastard.

Just think, "you bastard, I hope you get
struck by lightning," and just accept it.

Bastard, I hope you get struck by lightning.

I can't give you to another woman.

Hyang Gi.

I don't know anything besides you.

If I live without you...

it can't happen, it's impossible,
it can't happen.

Hyang Gi.

I can do everything it is you want...

but I can't do that.

I won't.

Kill me.

Kill me and do as you wish.

If you kill me then-

Hyang Gi!

Stop pretending to be a
nice guy and piss off.

You want to drag me to the hospital, get a
reexamination, and make me hear the same thing.

Then you'll hurt a little, sigh a few times, and think
you've done all you can, that it can't be helped.

You're so mean.

Tomorrow at twelve and six, Seocho-
dong, Songpa-dong, don't forget.

You're home.

You're going to have salad again, right?

Yes.

- Could you taste this?
- It's nothing.

She must've eaten something that didn't
agree with her while she was out.

I'll be right there.

Agasshi!

What's wrong?

Wait.

Drink some water.

- Don't say anything to my mom.
- Of course, don't worry.

Warm water is the best to
settle your stomach.

I'll bring some up to you soon.

I didn't think she'd be pregnant so soon.

Are you still at work?

- Can you talk?
- I told you to stay out of it.

How is she doing?

She left for work.

I didn't call her, I just left her alone.

Moon Kwon's going back to the
hospital to get her prescription.

All right, okay.

Leave it to us.

I'll let you know when she
starts taking the medicine.

Okay, thanks, Jae Min.

I'm hanging up.

Okay.

Here you go, thank you.

Hello.

Unni, I see you're busy.

What are you doing? Get up.

What is this? Did you call her?

You're going to say something to her?

Don't concern yourself, I have
something to ask her.

Preparing for full-time employment
is reason enough, what now?

They're waiting, hurry up.

I'm sorry.

Did you tell Moon Kwon to quit his job?

Yeah, I wanted him to study.

He said he's going to work
at the convenience store.

That's because he likes earning money.

It's not as if we don't pay him.

Work at the convenience store
seems to be easier than here.

And he gets some free time, too.

I'm going to tell him to quit that too.

If he needs more time to study,
we can work that out.

He was acting so weird,
I couldn't even ask him about it.

Did you, by any chance, tell him to quit
because you don't like him working here?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I only spend 4,500 won on the lunch
of other part-time workers,

but I buy cold noodle and rib soup for
my husband and your brother.

I even bought him two t-shirts!

I was thinking about buying him
a pair of shoes too.

How could you so suddenly drop this
in our laps and betray us?

He's been looking so tired lately and
I'm tired of seeing him fending off sleep.

I was opposed to him working
from the very beginning.

If he fails once, that's an
entire year wasted.

- There's no other reason, right?
- Really, why are you being like this?

It's been bothering me,
I can't stand feeling like that.

Go back in.

- Did you buy groceries?
- Yeah, just a few things.

Hello, please come in!

Please come in.

I keep sinking.

Both my feet are stuck in quicksand,

and little by little, it feels like
I'm being sucked in.

Sometimes my head hurts so much
it feels like it's splitting apart,

I keep my guard up,
trying to avoid mistakes,

and at some point I find myself falling
to my knees, tired from exhaustion.

How much longer can I hold out?

How much longer can I stand it?

[Moon Kwon, promise, soup]
[Moon Kwon, knife]

What are you doing?

I picked up the prescriptions.

She's home, sleeping.

- You've got a message.
- Okay.

Did the water get cold?

- It's okay.
- Why do you worry so much?

You don't care at all about your son-in-law.

You're his wife, why should I have
to take care of him?

Why can't you?

Why, you want to drag me to the Han River?

Dong Chul!

- Yes?
- Bring in the table!

- All right!
- You only call him at times like this!

You're right! I favor my son, so what?

Such outspokenness can also
be filed under abuse!

I'm going to get that, it's annoying me.

Your father must be hungry,
let's hurry and eat.

All right.

- It's Moon Kwon.
- All right.

You should've eaten first.

You weren't going to be that late.

If possible, it's best if the entire family
eats together at the same table.

Do you know how close people
get eating together?

That's why they say you can
always count on your family.

It's because you eat so
often with your family.

Is Seo Yeon sick?

She's sick?

No.

Then what's this about buying her medicine?

And he said she's sleeping.

That means she's sick, doesn't it?

She seems to be feeling a bit fatigued.

She didn't look like she was fatigued.

She stopped by the shop today.

Honey, did it look like she was sick?

I only saw her for a second.

You said, "Seo Yeon's here" and I said, "Okay,"
so I don't really know.

Of course she's fatigued.

Of course, it's no surprise.

She works and writes manuscripts 365 days
a year without getting a decent night's rest.

It's not 365 days.

She has national holidays
and the weekends off.

If you subtract vacations days along
with this and that,

it'll only amount to about 200 days.

Your father has started eating, let's eat.

Ji Min, let's eat.

Isn't that right, honey?

It's probably more accurate
to say 240 or 250 days.

If you count the weekends,
that's about a hundred days.

Then you have New Years, Lunar New Year,

Independence Movement Day, Buddha's
Birthday, Christmas... then it will be...

But why do I have to count these days?

Don't you know?

She'll take any chance to rag on Seo Yeon.

But he has to report to you
even if she has a little cold?

It's not that.

I was speaking to Moon Kwon
in the morning about something,

and he mentioned he was
picking up her medicine.

Did you tell him to report back
to you when he picked it up?

Oh, really, you're dragging
this out for no reason.

Does she have a fever?

I don't know.

I'll have to look in on her
after I'm done eating.

It's not as if she's fatally ill.

I'll look in on her when I leave for work.

Why are you chasing after her even
when she's a little sick?

Don't make a big deal out of nothing.

Making a big fuss over them can
be regarded as discrimination!

"Oh no, my pitiful niece and nephew!"

Do I go out into the yard and dance
with joy when you're sick?

Really...

You're awake.

You haven't eaten yet?

I wasn't hungry.

- Why is the rice still like this?
- I just plugged it in.

I was really tired.

- I see.
- I have a lot of work.

I was going to wake up
after taking a nap, but-

You did well. Change your clothes.

I'm going to.

Eat first when the rice is done.

What about you?

I spoke with Myung Hee.

I'm not a kid,
I told you I'd take care of it.

I was called there, get your facts straight.

What did she say?

Misinterpreting... it seems like
she's misinterpreting things.

She's always misinterpreting things,
so what?

I'm only going to work five hours at
the convenience store now.

- I'm getting off.
- All right, get some rest.

Why don't you lay down the mat and
do some putting practice?

- I'll die as I am now.
- Why won't you listen to me?

How could you have absolutely
no competitiveness?

Doesn't it hurt your pride?

No, it doesn't bother me at all.

Hey, I'm the one whose pride is hurt.

Go.

All right.

- Take her home and then pick up the chairman.
- Yes.

Let the madam know that
he should be home by eleven.

Yes.

Welcome home, Ma'am.

And Hyang Gi?

She was home the whole day.

She went out for a bit not too long ago.

I don't know what she ate while she was out,
perhaps her lunch didn't agree with her,

but she kept vomiting.

- Vomiting?
- Yes.

Moron, what is she getting stressed over?

All she needs to do is
wear the dress and smile happily.

- I heard there were showers.
- It was clear here.

What a fool.

What is there to get sick over?

Because you have an admirable father and
an even more admirable mother,

all you need to do is get all dolled up.

Why are you crying?

What, did you guys fight?

Mom...

Did you fight?

I...

I'm sorry, Mom. I...

I told him I'm not going to get married.

What are you saying?

What? What did you say?

I don't want to do it, I feel like we
shouldn't get married.

I don't want to do it anymore.

Does he want to cancel
the plans for tomorrow?

- That's not it.
- So you fought?

And then he said he didn't
want to get married?

I told you, that's not it.

If it's not then hurry up and tell me!

Don't skirt around it, just get out with it!

Oppa... Oppa said...

He wants to break the marriage, doesn't he?

No, no he didn't! I wanted to,
I said we should break it off.

No matter how much I think about it,

I don't think he loves me.

He says it's not true, but I can't believe
him, I don't think he does.

And... and I think that's
true for me as well.

I only like him, I don't think it's love.

I think we both...

have been deluding ourselves
because of the parents.

Those are his words, aren't they?

No, Mom, they're mine, it's my opinion.

How could you come up with such thoughts?

Have you been hit by some
laser making you smarter?

It suddenly hit me, it suddenly hit
me that this wasn't right.

He doesn't love me, and I don't either, we
shouldn't go through with such a marriage.

So what did he say?

He said that couldn't happen.

He said we had to do it.

But I said I didn't want to.

I really don't want to.

Do you take me for a halfwit?

The halfwit isn't me, it's you.

From the moment you were born
you were a halfwit,

you've always been a halfwit.

I told you if a woman clung on like that,
they'd be looked down on, ill-treated.

I told you there were plenty of better
partners, to widen your perspective.

How many countless number
of times did I tell you?

After so many tries I finally
gave up, and now what?

In the end, this is how you end up?

He didn't do this to me, I wanted it.

- Mom!
- You think I don't know you?

You dare spout such nonsense to me?

I'm not going to leave this bastard alone.

Mom, Mom, Mom!

No, Mom, why won't you believe me!

It's true, I don't want to, I said I didn't
want to go through with it!

It's true, it's true!

You can't hold me back!

Stay here! And don't come out!

Chung Su's mom!

Yes, Ma'am?

Find the key and lock Hyang Gi's door!

Ma'am, in this day and age
there's no shame, you're being too...

If I tell you to do it, just do it!
Why are you talking back?

Are you pregnant?

Are you pregnant?

You've done that
and yet this is how you end up?

No, I'm not, Mom.

- Thank you.
- Good night, Ma'am.

- Good bye.
- Good bye.

Yeah, I just got in and sent the car back.

Did you know nothing about it?

- About what?
- How could you raise your son like that?

How could you say such a thing?

That bastard said he wants
to cancel the wedding!

I'm allowed to say such things!

What? Hyang Gi...

Your oh-so-great son doesn't want
to go through with the wedding!

This relationship that's continued
because of the parents isn't love!

He said he can't get married without love!

My kid is vomiting, crying
and at Death's door!

Are you dead?
Why aren't you saying anything?

It's so...
it's so ridiculous, I can't believe it.

Are you going to drag
that bastard here or should I go?

Wait, first, I'll see what he's doing
and call him home.

I'll ask him what's going on.

How can you be so calm
in such a situation?!

It's in two days, not three months!

He wants to cancel the wedding,
he's going to!

Is this some everyday occurrence?

Are we canceling plans for a picnic?

I understand, calm down,
I'm telling you to calm down.

Calm down?

I haven't heard anything about this.

I need to find out what's going on too.

Is Hyang Gi some kind of mental patient?!

Why are you shouting?

I'm not deaf, stop it.

I need to hear what my son has
to say, we'll talk afterwards.

I'll call you later, wait.

Yes, it's me, Mother.

Where are you right now?

I'm on my way home, I'm almost there.

Is it true that you said
you can't get married?

- Ji Hyung.
- I'll tell you when I get home.

Is it true?

I'll be home shortly.

Empty it.

Go slowly, I have to work tomorrow,
I can't drink too much.

Don't be so worried,
you've only had three glass,

with your skills, what's the problem?

You promised your wife
we wouldn't drink too much.

Let's just drink a little.

She doesn't even believe my promises,
there's no need to worry.

Here, again!

At last, we've come this far, Director Park.

Yeah, we've come this far.

When you first came and greeted my father as a
scholarship student, you reeked of the country.

It's been forty years since.

You're right.

At that welcoming party, I accidentally opened
the bathroom door while you were in it.

As a way of apology I kept talking
to you because it bothered me.

That's where our history together started!

This is the first time I'm saying this.

You told me
when you introduced me to my wife.

Oh! I did?

Because I was greeting the person who
was giving me the scholarship,

I had been nervous from the day before.

For some reason,
I suddenly had indigestion that day.

Oh my, you haven't eaten yet?

Your wife told me to stop you at eleven.

It's past nine, Chairman.

I will, I will.

Drink. Drink.

Drink, and let's sing a song.

Tonight, we'll sing
for the last time as friends.

Next time, we'll sing as in-laws.

Come out, come out, come out.

Until we get completely worn out!

If you ask me what love is,

I'd say it's the seed for tears.

In the distant future,
you won't throw me away, will you?

If we separate,
we will both be in pain and cry.

Under the faint lights.

It's your wife!

Chairman! Chairman!

You, sitting under the lights.

Someday...

I know, honey. Eleven o'clock, I know.

What?

Say it again, what did you say?

What are you saying?

Are you talking in your sleep?

What's wrong?

Your son says he's not going to get married.

"Yes, it's true."

"Yes, I'm not getting married."

How could you... how could you
do such a terrible thing?

What are you going to do?
How are you going to fix this?

Ji Hyung,
this is really out of the question!

You stay out of it.

Is that girl threatening to kill herself?

Does she say she can't end it?

- She's not that kind of person.
- Then what is this?

When I asked you if you were going
to end it, you said you were.

I said that if this is a fate you can't avoid,
then the rational thing to do is to accept it

and give that other girl up,
and you said you would!

Then you should have kept your
promise, why did you break it?

I won't make any pathetic excuses.

For Hyang Gi's sake, I have to stop here.

Don't say such cowardly things.
That's even more pathetic.

My head... my heart, is all with her.

Marrying like this is an even bigger sin
against Hyang Gi.

Don't wrap it in lies.

In the end you're simply doing what you
want, this is your selfishness!

Yes.

Are you an orphan?

Do your father and I don't matter at all?

The invitations have all been sent out,
there are 500 guests.

What insanity is this?

What ridiculous, crazy thing you're saying.

Your father isn't one to tolerate this.

Immediately go to Hyang Gi's house,
kneel and take back your words.

- Mom.
- Hurry, before your father finds out!

- Yes, this is Bangbae-dong.
- Get my wife on the phone.

It's your husband, I think he already knows.

He's really angry.

He's not one to take this quietly.

Yes?

What the hell is this I'm hearing?

Our house is falling into chaos, does it
look like I can be calm?

Where did this come out of?

What is this bomb
that's fallen into our laps?

Call him back home at once!

There are other things to be stubborn about.

This is a disease.

If you leave it alone it'll get worse every day,
nothing good comes out of it.

If you can't come to terms with it, fine,
but take your medicine.

Just think of it as digestives or
cold medicine and take it.

- You can do that.
- Don't bother, Oppa.

When I feel like I should take them, I will.

- Noona.
- When I get worse.

When it gets bad enough that I can't
simply attribute it to forgetfulness.

Why do you need to do that?

Why would you wait until that happens?

It's not bad enough yet that
I need to take medicine for it!

The doctor will make that decision.

The fact that he wrote
that prescription for you-

I'll take care of it.

Oppa, leave.

I'm going to sleep.

Where's Hyang Gi?

Hyang Gi! Hyang Gi!

You think she can hear that?

Tell her to come down.

Let's hear it.

Where did things go wrong
that they've come to this?

What's got him so riled up
that he's suddenly causing this mess?

There must be a reason, what is it?

They don't love each other.

They were only under the impression
that it was love.

When they came to their senses,
they realized it wasn't love.

Crazy bastard, so he was deluding
himself for over a decade?

You can only delude yourself for a moment.
A moment, a short period.

How could he have deluded
himself for over ten years?

- Get me some ice water.
- I can't be bothered, get it yourself.

Darn!

Did you find him?

What did he say?

Fine, I'll hang up, so just tell me
if it's true or not.

Did he really say that?

I'll tear him to pieces and bury him.

Why can't I say that?

Look what he did to us!

That bastard is turning our family inside out,
who cares about my curses?

Fine, so what are you saying to your son?

Are we really going to cancel this wedding?

Are you kidding?

How can we cancel it now?

Fine, I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

Even I wasn't aware of
how irresponsible my own son was.

I can't apologize enough.

Should we go, or are you going to come?

Go where?

Where would we go?

We need to settle this, can you sleep
with things as they are?

You have to take pills to sleep anyway.

Is sleep what's important in this situation?

Recklessly proceeding is akin to
advancing with a broken leg.

Then what'll happen?

You'll get stuck and die.

First, we need to take a breathe
and treat our broken leg.

We need to get the facts straight,
discuss it, and find a solution.

Hyang Gi, come here.

Come here and talk to dad.
Hurry and come here!

What was his reason?

He says it's not love,
he was under an illusion!

Darn, what kind of pathetic
excuse is that?

That's not what you call an illusion.

In any case, that's what he says
it is, that's his reason!

Hyang Gi, you can be honest.

There's no reason to cover up
or hide anything.

Tell me everything.

You need to tell all of it, the whole truth,

so that your dad can immediately
try to solve it, right?

The wench was clinging on too much
so he must've gotten tired.

Just keep your mouth shut for five minutes.

That worthless bastard, all he did
was act all high-and-mighty,

and now he's dropped us into a pile of shit.

What a laugh!

Five minutes!

Five minutes.

Ahjumma! Bring a stop watch out here!

Yes.

We don't need it, don't bother.

If word of this travels outside the house,

you're aware that you'll immediately be
fired without severance pay, yes?

Yes, Chairman.

Hyang Gi.

Look at dad.

Look at your dad.

You two are taking revenge because
of your mom, right?

Your mom is always talking down to
him carelessly, without reserve.

And to put the nail in the coffin, a few days back
she screamed about canceling the wedding.

Because of that, he's gone a
bit crazy, isn't that right?

Why are you blaming me?

Be quiet.

There's no doubt that
you stomped on a man's pride!

You tell him.

Is that it?
Is it because of me? Did he say that?

No, it's not.

I don't want to.

I don't want to get married.

You're saying you were the one who
wanted to cancel the wedding?

Even a frog wouldn't believe that!

Whatever the reason may be,
I will not stand for this.

Your mother probably feels the same way,

and you know very well
that this cannot happen...

I don't want to drag this out.

Father.

As long as you call me father, you
can't do such a thing to me.

After receiving such a blow from you,

your father is not such a fool to just
stand back and watch.

And your mom is the same.

You don't love her as a woman?

It's already too late for that.

You had every chance to avoid this marriage.

You could've made it clear that
you didn't see her as a woman.

You could've adamantly
refused to get married.

I acknowledge my mistake, but-

If you acknowledge it, don't say anymore.

But it's also true that
we were encouraged into it.

Both parents had comfortably accepted it
as an established fact.

That's a pathetic excuse!

You, a man, couldn't even make his
stance clear and hesitated,

and now you flip the tables
and call that an excuse?

Are you a robot?

Don't use love as an excuse.

A wife is a partner and friend who will accompany
you on that long journey called marriage.

You endure out of loyalty, understand with
friendship, and embrace with compassion.

When you combine all that,
that is what you call love.

Go with your mom to Hyang Gi's,
kneel and formally apologize.

- I can't do that.
- Ji Hyung!

I don't love Hyang Gi.

There's someone else I love.

How could you tell him that?

Honey, you should go in,
I'll deal with it, go in.

Honey...

Does Hyang Gi know?

Yes, I told her.

You seem to have known about this.

What have you been doing,
leaving things to come to this?

You must be crazy.

You've gone insane.

How could you tell that to Hyang Gi!

I needed to make her give up.

How could you be so cruel.

That'll...
how are you going to repent for all that?

I'll receive my punishment.

That doesn't matter to me.

Please forgive me, Father.

Forgive me.

So, you're going to make me
into a laughingstock?

My own child?

To his father?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Father.

You're out of your mind.

I'm so ashamed to face Chairman No.

Hyang Gi's mom hasn't mentioned
that other woman,

it seems that Hyang Gi hasn't told her that.

That means Hyang Gi hasn't completely
given up yet.

How can she give up?

How can she give up Ji Hyung?

She's only had eyes for him
for twenty years.

Then these problems should've been
blocked from the beginning!

You should've kept them out of the dark,
begged him and overturned it!

See? She's completely silent.

I'll say this for the both of us.

Let's get some sleep and confront
this problem together tomorrow.

What if he doesn't change his position?

If we pressure his parents, I coalesce him,
and you apologize, then he'll give in.

Why should I apologize?

Your child's life is on the line,
is it that hard to apologize?

You should be willing to do anything.

Between a man and a woman, who do
you think this will hurt more?

Just think about that.

If we leave things as they are, Hyang Gi
will turn into Ophelia.

She'll go insane and walk
around barefoot, singing!

You bastard!
How could you say such a thing?!

Stop pressing me.

Just let me be,
let me stay like this for now.

If I get a reexamination and
hear the same thing again,

I'll just fall to my knees
and give it all up.

For the time being, until I caused a big
mistake, I didn't want anyone to know.

My pride...

hurts so much.

I... my life, does it have to be this
harsh until the very end?

Oppa... take me... take me home.

Take me home.

I didn't tell them you had someone else,

so don't say anything either.

I'll be humiliated,
and you'll be the bad guy.

Just... tell them we don't love each other.

I was the one who first suggested
we cancel the wedding,

and I told them you agreed.

Mom doesn't believe me...
but that's what I'm saying.

If you really didn't come to the wedding,

that would've been even worse,
so I had to tell them.

The fact that you had someone else is
unbelievable and it makes me so angry,

but I still want you.

Even at this moment, I'm hoping
you'll change your mind.

Foolish Hyang Gi... halfwit Hyang Gi.

I have to work, I have to work.

I can't be lazy.

Time... there's no telling how
little I may have left.

I can't make any mistakes.

You can't.

Did you spend the night?

You think it can be done by spending nights?

How stupid...

Did you wake up while you were sleeping?

I get confused at times too.

What are you going to do?

- It's still night, eleven o'clock-
- I know! Be quiet.

I'm hungry, steam some dumplings.

All right.

I don't think she told them
you had someone else.

Even if the heavens fall, you won't be
able to persuade me otherwise.

Did she try to take pills?
Try to hang herself?

Tell me what it is you honestly want.

- If you tell me, then-
- I don't want you bothering oppa.

It's all open!

I think I can understand why Ji Hyung
doesn't want to lose her.

Now that I've met you, it's even clearer.

What do you think you're doing?

Do you have some hero complex?

No one can replace Seo Yeon.

I'll take care of Seo Yeon,
I won't leave her to you.

Seo Yeon, I'll protect you.
