What's this?

Tae Hee is going to complain that it's too loud to sleep now.

Hello?

Are you scared of thunder?

No, I'm not.

Was there anything you wanted to do on a rainy day with me?

Picking me up from school with an umbrella.

No, I meant now.

I will bring an umbrella to your school some other time.

Now?

Well, now...

If you can't think of anything, let's talk about it face to face.

Look at your pajamas.

Don't make fun of me.

Do you want to see whose wish comes true?

I bet it will be mine.

I kept it a secret.

Not really.

A lot of my wishes tend to come true.

Please let my wish come true.

I'll have a good dream tonight.

Why aren't you sleeping?

I'll sleep after I stare at you some more.

Is there anything you need to tell me?

Yes, there are tons.

I don't think you have a lot to tell me.

It's just that you have a lot on your mind.

"Don't worry about your future before it's time."

"You don't know when you need to take a break."

"Running in the rain which you can't stop..."

"is equivalent..."

"to getting wet which is meant to happen in the future."

My dad used to tell me this.

When I see you these days, you remind me of these quotes.

I'm worried because you seem to worry a lot.

Tae Hee.

You're so mature.

Didn't you know? I'm older.

- By three months. - Hey.

Unbelievable.

You had a tough day today.

You visited that woman and saw your father today.

There are so many things I want to hear from you,

but I'm just going to sleep tonight.

You should try to get some sleep too.

Sure. Let's go to sleep.

I'm going to make a long and difficult confession to you.

Did you know that those two were living together?

No.

I came here because I was worried about Si Hyun.

I didn't have to worry about a thing.

I came here because I was worried about you.

Did something happen to Si Hyun?

No.

I won't stand in the way of their marriage now.

I'll let my mom do whatever she wants to do.

Switch seats with me. I'll drive.

I'm fine. I can drive.

Are you all right?

I must've stepped on the wrong pedal. What's wrong with this?

I can't let you drive. I'll drive.

Wake up.

Get up. Come on, get up. Let's exercise.

- Why? - Exercise with me.

Wake up. Come on. Get up.

Let's go.

I can't run anymore.

Hey, if you want to drink with me, you must be able to run this much.

Apparently, you can tolerate more alcohol if you exercise.

Hey, you're on a bicycle now.

- I'm going. - What?

Hey. My gosh.

I can get used to you driving me to school.

Anytime.

Since you're dropping me off, walk me to my class.

Of course.

Let me take a good look at the guys in your class.

Don't worry. I have high standards.

What do you take me for?

Wait.

(Accepting Applications for Exchange Student Program)

"Exchange student"?

Don't you need to go abroad for this?

Yes, you're right.

I was just curious.

You can't leave.

Should I go to college too?

Tae Hee, are you reading the poster for the contest?

- Yes. - That's the one I mentioned.

Let's do it together.

Hey, just ride my coattail.

I told you I didn't want to.

And what do you mean? Who's riding whose coattail?

You put your arm around me during dinner that day.

I clearly said I wasn't interested. Do you not remember?

I thought you didn't remember that because you were drunk.

You were looking at the post, so I thought you changed your mind.

I don't want to do this with you,

so don't ever mention it to me again.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Bye. Sorry.

Tae Hee, you're so awesome.

Keep turning guys down like you did just now.

See? I was only nice to you.

I must've been insane.

Let's go.

Why did you let go of my arm?

Right.

Why aren't you guys saying hi?

I'm going to see her later anyway.

Grandma called us all.

Let's go.

I don't care if it's the last time. Please hear me out.

Okay. It's the last time.

You came together.

Don't worry. We got here separately.

- Sit, Si Hyun. - Hello.

Grandma.

Goodness, my grandson.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

Have a seat. Goodness.

Have some more.

I wanted to meet here to make you eat some abalones.

Did you have seaweed soup on your birthday?

I told you to come to my house.

I had a lot.

You look worn out.

Your dad must tell you off with every chance that he gets.

He doesn't. Have some more.

This is good. Try some.

I know he's busy working,

but Seok Woo has no idea...

that it's important for a family to eat together.

He gathered the four of us for dinner after his business trip.

Seok Woo is trying hard to make time for us.

Eat up.

Okay.

I heard you two are close.

They've been friends since middle school.

There's another boy, and the three of them are very close.

I wasn't asking you.

Okay.

So you play the cello?

And you go to a prestigious school. Good girl.

Thank you.

Are you going abroad right away?

Pardon?

Are you not good enough to go abroad?

Is there anything else you want to do in Korea?

It's not that,

but I will think more about what I want to do.

I am thinking of sending her abroad.

She has no other interest other than music.

If you're done, let's ask them for some tea.

You two can go out and have some dessert.

Okay.

(Voice Recorder)

I never knew a meal could feel so burdening.

After they get married,

we'll have such a suffocating time in the same house.

I understand that my grandma doesn't particularly like Ms. Myung.

But we need to give her some time to accept her.

Please do understand.

You speak as if you didn't do that.

You were like that to my mom.

You said you don't want a car from a stranger. You kept on saying that.

But I still took your side.

Let's not get into an unnecessary fight, Soo Ji.

I wanted to ask you about the exchange student program.

Can freshmen apply?

We need your grades from the first semester, an application,

and a professor's recommendation.

- You can read that. - Thank you.

Why? Do you want to visit your dad?

No. I'm just looking into it.

And...

where can I find information on college entrance qualification...

for our school?

You can check our website.

One second. I think I had a brochure here.

Is this for Si Hyun?

- I'm just asking. - He can't get into our school.

I should ask him.

Snake Bride.

Tell me your grades and college entrance exam score.

I didn't take the exam last year.

Are you going to lie to me?

Don't be alarmed.

(2017 College Entrance Exam Result)

This isn't going to work. I'm going to have to tutor you too.

Is her name Soo Ji?

You should teach her some manners.

I apologize.

That's not why I sent them away.

I wanted to give you an advice...

and a warning.

I can't let anyone who talks too much...

become a part of my family.

What do you mean?

I don't know about anyone else,

but I know exactly what you said to Si Hyun's mom...

on the day she passed away.

I'm sure you didn't think things would turn out like that.

But things said out of greed...

will bring about a disaster.

Should we let the kids back in and call it a day?

Please excuse me.

I'm going to leave.

Goodbye, Si Hyun.

See you at home, Soo Ji.

Mom.

What on earth could she have said?

Mr. Kwon is really something.

Is he letting my mom deal with...

such a scary grandma all by herself?

Well, I guess he was late back then too.

- The family meeting without you. - That's the one I skipped.

I saw them that day.

Mr. Kwon and that potter at the exhibition at Joosung Hotel.

They're never going to meet again. Don't worry.

How can that happen if you're seeing Tae Hee?

What are you talking about?

How's your apology to Tae Hee going?

Why do you ask a question if you aren't curious?

Well, you know.

You two already get along well.

I don't understand why you told her and gave her an apology.

It's not like you'll see her for life.

She just doesn't have to find out until the day you break up.

Who knows? I might see her for life.

Si Hyun.

Relationships like those are all bound to change.

Do you want to go out with me?

No.

Why not?

Such relationships get broken.

Soo Ji.

All relationships change.

Friends, lovers,

and even family.

If you aren't sincere, it just changes a bit quicker.

Yes.

They do change.

I wonder...

which one of us wasn't sincere.

[VIU Ver] MBC E23 The Great Seducer "You Started This, But I’ll End It" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You heard that he is...

going to Jeongeup, not on a business trip?

The vice president and I went to the same university.

Since he's a guy with a huge background,

people followed everything he did as if he was a celebrity.

I've already heard that the two of them...

had an engagement ceremony, but Chairwoman Hong stopped them.

I've always known...

who his partner was.

I see.

A patient of mine recently gave me a piece of pottery.

I searched for the potter,

and her workroom...

is in Jeongeup.

I see.

I see...

the chief secretary made a mistake.

He could've just said he had some other business.

Did he have to go into such detail?

I shouldn't have told you.

No.

I'm sure...

it was because he knew how much you care about us.

I'll go and get some rest.

Hello.

It's been a while.

Yes. Do you have a lecture right away?

- Yes. - Yes.

Isn't that Soo Ji's car?

Her mother hadn't driven it in a while.

I took it to get it checked out.

I saw Soo Ji get out of a taxi this morning.

Did you celebrate Si Hyun's birthday?

What?

Yes.

The three of us always celebrated his birthday together.

We left school early just for that.

Did you celebrate together this year?

No.

He pushed us aside now that he has a girlfriend.

He didn't just push us aside. We had a huge fight.

Why did you fight on his birthday?

He said he didn't need us now.

I'd never felt so gloomy on a birthday.

You keep calling me.

That means you know.

- Young Won. - Yes.

Your son was here.

He didn't do anything wrong.

I just...

I just felt ashamed to death.

I regretted everything so much.

Why did you buy my works?

Did you pity me?

You must've felt...

relieved and pleased that...

you could release your guilt by helping me.

You and I...

We hurt our kids more than enough.

Also,

I heard that...

your wife died while on her way to see me.

How could you...

What did you want to do with me again?

I wanted...

to see and remember you one last time.

That's all.

It's all my fault.

Let's remember each other as sinners.

That's...

our punishment.

(Icheon Hospital)

Kwon Seok Woo's guardian.

Kwon...

Are you his guardian?

Not really.

Can you contact someone from his family?

(Father)

Hello?

It's Seol Young Won.

What is it?

Sure, okay.

- Hey. - What?

You should've said hi. Why are you standing here?

I was going to wait for you to get off work,

but I have to go somewhere.

Why? Is something wrong?

I think my dad's sick.

I won't be long.

Shall I come with you?

It's far away.

Okay.

Stay safe.

Tell me all about it when you get back.

- Okay. - You have a lot to say to me.

We'll have to stay up all night.

Let's do that.

(Nanpa Music Hall)

The full check is complete.

Thank you.

How did you like meeting Si Hyun's grandma?

Why even ask? It was suffocating.

Shall we go for a drive? I'm such a good boy.

I pushed my business aside to get your car checked.

I was going to go, but you insisted.

Was something wrong?

They checked everything, and the brakes were fine.

They asked why this was replaced.

Was there an accident?

An accident?

Was there a minor collision?

No, my mom's a really safe driver.

Ask her.

Don't get caught driving her car in secret.

Let's go on a drive.

I have one more lecture.

And I'm going somewhere else in the afternoon.

Where?

I'll call in the evening.

I didn't know whom else to call.

I'm prepared to be chewed out.

I shouldn't get involved,

but whether it's physical or mental,

you know how he hides his wounds.

You really do know him very well.

What's wrong, and how bad is it?

Is it worse than what he put my mom through?

Si Hyun.

I'm sorry.

This could just be my imagination,

but I'm wondering if this is why he came to me after two years.

If I'm right,

then he's very sick.

I don't know how bad it is,

but maybe...

we're both being punished.

My daughter...

paid the price for my actions.

The day your mother came to Jeongeup to see me,

my daughter was in a car accident.

We never found the hit-and-run driver.

My daughter suffered a lot.

I'll live with...

the guilt and regret...

toward you and her forever.

I'm really...

sorry.

How can that happen if you're seeing Tae Hee?

What are you talking about?

Hello?

Tae Hee.

Did something happen?

Like what?

I'm fine.

How is your dad?

He's fine.

I'll call when I'm back in Seoul.

(Soo Ji)

(Soo Ji)

(Si Hyun)

You can go home now.

Okay. Thank you.

You started this,

but I'll end it.

She left.

She said she won't call you and doesn't want you to either.

Okay.

Drive me back to Seoul.

Why did you want to see me?

Just because.

Our school is close to this cafe.

I almost ran you over the other day, but I never got to apologize for it.

I'm sorry about that.

No, that's all right.

It seemed like you and Si Hyun made up.

We did.

But why do you ask?

You're something else.

If he dumped me like that, I wouldn't want to see him again.

It was between us.

And it turned out to be a small problem.

We are dating.

It's easy for us to clear up small understandings like this.

How much do you know about Si Hyun's family?

I'm not sure what you're asking,

but I presume you and Se Joo know more than I do.

Well, I think that I will get to know more from now on.

When I look at you, I can see you're so confident.

You think you can stay confident, right?

Soo Ji.

I know that you like Si Hyun.

I think you're taking it out on me...

because Si Hyun likes me, and you don't like that.

To me,

you look sad...

because Si Hyun doesn't love you.

Don't you dare...

pretend that you understand me or us.

Si Hyun told me this once.

He said that his friendship with Se Joo and you is...

something precious that can't be described in words.

That's why I envied you guys.

Because I wanted to be someone he treasured too.

When he was with me, he would leave and go to you guys.

There were times when I was disappointed and resentful.

But Si Hyun told me...

that I was important to him in another sense.

And I believed his words as they were.

After that, I was more at ease.

I was able to accept the love Si Hyun gave me as it was.

And I could...

follow my heart and love him.

You're...

My gosh, you think only your feelings are important.

You think your love is the only thing that matters in this world.

No.

It's just that you and I think differently.

The three of us aren't like other friends.

The secrets and pain we've shared are beyond your imagination.

I agree.

I don't plan to stand in the way of your friendship.

It means a lot to Si Hyun.

Just like now, I want to...

talk to Si Hyun about our relationship.

And just because I'm dating him...

doesn't give you the right to vent your feelings on me.

I wish you won't visit me like this again.

Your feelings are your responsibility.

Sure.

I'm grateful that you won't stand in the way of our friendship.

But you...

are standing in the way of Si Hyun and my family.

Actually, your presence is making it worse.

Si Hyun's father,

who will be my stepdad, is seeing another woman.

Did Si Hyun tell you that?

Yes.

My gosh, Si Hyun. You're too cruel.

I will be his stepsister, and this will hurt my pride.

How could he share that with you? He's undermining me.

What he told me had nothing to do with you.

He was just telling me his problem.

Then I must tell you my problem from my point of view.

That woman...

is your mother.
