BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE

BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE

Hurry up.

Let's go...

to our home.

You dropped it at the bus stop.

6 MISSED CALLS LANDLORD

You called me many times.

Yes.

I called many times.

Can I shower first?

Since I'm so sweaty.

Yes, go ahead.

Yes.

Why?

Yes?

Why are you following me?

It's not that I'm following you.

I didn't know.

Yes. I thought so.

Well, take a shower.

It seemed off,

but it went in really rather well, didn't it?

The receiving of the ball from the center was on point.

Yes.

He seems to be the suspect in the Namgang Station case.

The stalker of that female college student?

The report content is similar,

and also, the spanner.

But why didn't you say anything to me?

Didn't you know all along?

You said the job was difficult for you to get.

I couldn't let you know recklessly.

Still, if you had given me a clue,

then I could have acted like I didn't know and kept an eye on him.

You?

Act like you didn't know?

Why?

Do I look like I can't do that?

I did go overboard.

So from now on...

don't say "our"...

so easily.

Did you come home on the bus?

Do I have to answer that?

Well, you don't need to.

Exactly.

He...

seemed to know about our contract?

Yes.

He definitely...

said "fake husband."

Who told you to get married to a fake husband?

Even if he stalked me,

how could he know that?

You're right.

No one knows that besides the two of us.

-Is it because of my cellphone? -What?

He saw what I saved you as on my cellphone.

He said, "Instead of your husband, isn't he your landlord?"

Yes.

You saved me as "Landlord."

That's certainly unusual.

So why did you save my number as "Landlord"?

Then what would I save you as?

Well, there's nothing else I can call you.

Well...

there is my name.

Like Se-hee or Mr. Se-hee.

Then, "Mr. Se-hee,"

what did you save me as?

Obviously, I saved you...

as...

"Tenant."

Bo-mi's uncle works at the precinct,

and we've let him know.

So it should be resolved by tomorrow or so.

-Then what will happen to Bok-nam? -He will have to go to jail.

Yes.

It's passed through.

Now, Sanchez! Left...

It's...

It's going in!

What a clean finish.

Indeed! Sanchez!

Yes, Arsenal's perfect goal.

Indeed, yes.

Yes, Sanchez came out fierce.

We've had a few misfires so far, but this was a perfect goal.

Perfect tempo.

Thank you...

for running to me...

and coming down from there with me.

Also...

for saying...

"our home."

Were you really disappointed?

That line I drew?

For asking...

not to act like a married couple in front of others,

and for asking not to say "our" as well.

Were you hurt by that?

Yes.

But I...

don't wish to be a hindrance to you.

Different from others,

we entered into marriage with a plan for it to end.

For you, it's a place to live,

and for me, it's the benefit of monthly rent.

Though we both agreed to the contract...

after the marriage ends...

it's likely that you will suffer a bigger loss than me.

You're a woman...

and you're younger than me...

so...

the social judgment against you could be harsher.

Hence, all links to me should be kept to a minimum.

And any events shared by both of us...

I thought it would be right to avoid them...

as much as possible.

So...

you've been thinking those thoughts?

About the aftermath of our marriage's end...

and also...

of the losses I might suffer?

Not exactly thinking of them continuously...

but the thought occurred to me, right after our wedding.

Why?

Because I made a promise...

that I would not be a hindrance to you.

I made a promise to your mother.

So I wanted to keep it.

And I want to continue to keep it in the future as well.

Though I still don't know Ji-ho that well either,

she's someone who would always

choose the road to her own happiness.

And during our marriage, that choice...

I will not be a hindrance to it.

What I can promise you is only this.

LANDLORD

Hello?

It's me.

Yes, I know.

I...

After I graduated...

and got hired as an assistant writer,

I received $800 a month.

Back then, my dad told me

to quit right away and return to Namhae.

He told me to harvest spinach.

At the field near our home...

if I picked spinach for just a week, he said, I'd earn more than that,

The job that no one could understand.

The reason that...

I could begin working was that...

I had no thoughts.

Like becoming a great writer,

or becoming famous...

to succeed.

I had no such thoughts at all.

I just somehow ended up reading a script...

and it was crazily interesting to me.

So that's how I just started.

Because writing day after day was fun for me, that's why.

I had no such thoughts to achieve anything through writing, or to become something.

I didn't think about it at all.

So what might happen...

two years later...

I don't think of that.

If I had thought that far...

I probably couldn't have gotten married to you.

To me...

I just needed this room right now.

And I liked the safety of this home.

And I didn't want to part from Kitty.

And also...

the landlord seemed trustworthy.

That's why I did it.

Because I liked the fact that I belong to this home now.

So the stuff that might happen after the marriage ends,

it doesn't matter to me

and I don't think of it.

So now...

purposefully drawing a line...

Please don't.

Yes.

And your room door...

don't lock it.

Yes.

Then...

sleep well.

I have something to say, too.

Please don't call me

"landlord."

You could be misunderstood as being alone.

In front of others...

call me your husband.

A dangerous situation could happen again.

So you won't be misunderstood as being alone...

for the two years with me...

you belong to this home.

Yes.

Yes.

Then, goodnight.

But how did you know I was there?

You couldn't call me either.

LANDLORD

YOLO_RIDER, YEON BOK-NAM YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE

#BEERAFTERWORK #NIGHTLIGHTRIDING

It's under construction.

I can't go in further.

Isn't there another road that leads up there?

This is the only way by car.

Then, is there another way by foot?

-I think you could go through that way. -Yes, thank you.

But it'll take over 30 minutes.

Let's go and watch soccer.

LANDLORD

HUSBAND

HUSBAND

Hurry up.

So we can go...

to our home.

HUSBAND

EPISODE 9

HUSBAND

WIFE

HUSBAND

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

So you were home.

Then, why did you call again?

That's...

I meant to turn off the alarm, but I accidentally hit call.

I see. That's...

what happened.

Did you sleep well?

Yes. And you, Ji-ho?

Me, too.

Kitty. How are you here?

She took a cab and came by herself.

She was crying for me to open the door from outside,

so I did.

She's got that kind of skill?

Of course not.

That was a joke.

So it was a joke that you made.

Yes.

Yup, it's Ji-ho. What's up this early?

Yes, Bo-mi.

News? I didn't see it.

News? Why?

He's been caught?

The suspect in the forced confinement incident

that occurred at Namgang Station on October 30th

was arrested this morning by police.

The suspect stalked a woman he met in an online game and kidnapped her.

He's been suspected of keeping her confined for 13 hours.

He is in custody, and the police are conducting an investigation.

I still can't believe it.

I never thought he would be this kind of a kid.

We don't even know ourselves.

So how could we know the dark sides of others?

Will you be all right to go to work today?

The police could come to the cafe, too.

It's all right.

The suspect's been arrested, so I need to go and work.

Then, see you later at home.

Will you be taking the bus home today?

Yes.

Then, see you later.

Yes.

My goodness, that jerk Bok-nam.

Ji-ho, are you hurt at all?

Nope, I'm fine.

Before it got dangerous, the landlord...

I mean...

my husband...

came to get me.

That's what I'm saying. I heard it from Soo-ji.

I mean, Se-hee is really awesome.

We all fell for that smile,

but how did he gather all that info?

I know. At the time, I didn't even know he had gathered all that evidence.

He's really detailed and thorough. Seok might be right after all.

He said not just anyone can solve a Rubik's Cube.

I heard he's got the new record for it at his company.

That's so him.

He's someone very thorough who doesn't tolerate mistakes.

Incredible! Fifty-two seconds.

Indeed. Se-hee.

-He's the god of the cube. -I told you.

-It's unbelievable. -Amazing.

Unbelievable.

Wow. How did he do this?

I've never seen this before.

-Is he human? -I don't think he is.

Chief Nam, if you're done,

could you see me for a sec? For work.

So did you do something to that kid yesterday?

-Nothing too severe, right? -You didn't hit him, did you?

Do I seem like someone who would hit a person?

That's a relief.

Instead...

I hit his motorcycle.

-What? -The 40,000,000-won one?

Well, it might be 40,000,000, but it was knocked down with one blow.

And furthermore,

I didn't even put too much power into it.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's true. I didn't use my full power.

But I told you this morning that they caught the suspect.

Yes. I saw the news, too.

Look at this.

I got this by asking my uncle for a favor. The perpetrator's photo.

I looked at the account on the reported list.

It was a stolen identity.

-What? -You saw it, too, though.

Yeon Bok-nam is a very popular celebrity on Bestagram.

You know how you can get all sorts of information when you hack social media?

The perpetrator opened new accounts and uploaded Bok-nam's photo as his own.

He acted like he was Yeon Bok-nam and approached the women.

He's a total repeat offender.

Then...

he's...

what?

He's just a diligent part-timer.

And a good citizen, too.

You! Why are you here eating toast instead of being in jail?

Yesterday your husband wrecked his motorcycle, I hear.

-What? -He kicked the motorcycle

that was nicely parked and broke it!

Well, boss, that's because...

He's...

a stalker.

What? A stalker?

Yes. He's the suspect in the Namgang Station case.

Did he break out of jail that quickly?

Boss. I think we need to call the police right away.

Ji-ho? Aren't you going too far?

He's a good kid and you say he's a stalker?

That's the point!

He looks perfectly fine.

-Look here, seriously! -It's all right. Stop, Dad.

Who is he to tell him to stop?

"Dad"?

Call your husband. Immediately!

What?

Namgang Station suspect?

I'm sorry.

I think there's been an error.

If there's an error, you undo it by talking.

A grown-up adult goes and breaks a kid's bike?

That expensive thing?

I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry. -Do you know what it means to him?

He used his rent deposit to buy it!

When you look perfectly normal...

Hello?

Yes?

I was going to settle it quietly too, but once he's angry, no one can stop him.

But I didn't tell him...

about the fake marriage.

How did you know?

Great Day Banquet Hall. You went there on the bus, right?

Usually, couples don't go to their own wedding on a bus.

I mean, a normal couple.

When I first saw you on the bus, I thought it was kind of funny

and I just let it pass.

By chance,

do you think you will need a handkerchief?

When the bride cries,

the groom should wipe away her tears.

What? Me, cry? Why? I'm not that type of person.

Yes,

and that's such a relief.

And I will pay for half of your wedding gown cost.

No, it wasn't much anyway.

But the more I listened, the stranger your conversation became.

But unlike me, you had to get wedding shoes and the bouquet,

so I'll take it off of next month's rent.

Thank you.

What? Today?

I have my part-time job this evening.

You got off right in front of the banquet hall where I work part-time.

Can you get the announcement stand in the waiting lounge set up?

Yes.

Pardon me.

Yes.

-I'm sorry. -Yes.

So I thought,

"This bride and groom aren't ordinary."

Was it a contract marriage?

Thanks, everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you, Bo-mi.

Thank you.

-You should take one more. -What?

We offer a complimentary frame.

You should take a picture for the frame.

-We don't need it. -No, thanks.

Complimentary? Then we should. Stand again. Hurry.

I think you should do a pose?

I saw that there weren't any affectionate ones.

Really?

Se-hee, put on a different pose.

-By different pose, you mean? -Like a kiss.

-What? -What?

Or hugging the bride's waist.

It's a wedding photo.

What is that? So dull.

In that case, they'll blame the photographer

every time they see the photos.

The two of you, get in a pose, whatever it is.

Just make some kind of physical contact.

Okay. It's much more affectionate. Right?

Sure. A handshake is physical contact.

I'm taking it now.

Then, how did you know about my signature?

You signed when you settled the bill at the banquet.

NAM SE-HEE

Right.

But what about the spanner, then?

I was going to open the beer bottle for you, since I didn't have an opener.

Maybe you should share a moment of daytime drinking.

The fake husband and wife fraud team.

No. The kick-threatening duo?

That...

And the motorcycle repair cost.

I'll send it to you by tomorrow.

The motorcycle...

Young man Bok-nam...

No, Mr. Bok-nam.

No, Bok-nam, my boy.

You came early today. You're only working in the morning?

Yeah, we need a day like this too.

Are you going to the nag gathering today?

Nag gathering?

The high school reunion meeting?

Of course.

Isn't it also a meeting for Soo-jin's wedding invitation?

Yup.

What about Ji-ho?

Ji-ho's coming, too.

I'd like something colorful today.

-Will it be all right? -I'm off tomorrow, so it's fine.

-You're here? -Sorry.

I'm sorry. You must've waited a long time.

It's all right. It's cold, right?

How did it go? Is Bok-nam super mad? Does Se-hee need to sell the house

-to pay for the motorcycle? -Hey, take a breath, then ask.

Did you resolve it well?

He doesn't have to sell his house, at least.

Thankfully, he talked to him and reached a settlement.

But an expensive motorcycle is truly different after all.

But since the other parts are fine,

we agreed on just paying for the side mirror.

In installments.

And I have to work harder now, too, since it's Bok-nam's cafe.

Seriously. Who would've thought he was the owner's son?

But we got to see your husband in a new light through this.

I mean, he's someone who did a triple somersault

to avoid breaking the side mirror, but then he went and kicked it off.

We were totally shocked.

Well, I was kind of shocked, too.

You don't tell us, but I guess he really loves you a lot?

That's the power of love. Though someone cold-blooded like you

-wouldn't know about it. -Don't be a brat.

I don't feel that great, heading to this nag gathering.

Nag gathering?

I know, right? I was curious about that, too.

Why do you call it a nag gathering?

You'll know when you get there.

You know the makeup I am using now.

Ji-ho, tell us about your married life.

Actually, we're quite hurt you didn't tell us about it,

no matter how small the wedding was.

I'm sorry. I didn't have the time.

So? Where's your newlywed home?

Condo? Full lease? It can't be owned, right?

Yes, it's owned.

Wow, he's so capable.

Though it's got a mortgage on it.

Hey, who can start without a loan these days? That's a given.

This is a great time. It was great for us when we were newlyweds, too.

So? Do you like being married?

Yeah. Well...

I think I do.

What is it that you like so much?

When we were newlyweds, my husband would run to me as soon as he got off work.

Your husband looks for you when he gets off work, right?

Well, yeah.

He looks for me a lot.

Kitty...

At the front door...

Kitty.

he starts calling my name.

When I go to him...

You're home.

He'll abruptly lift me up.

Then...

We go to the bedroom

right away.

Right away?

-I'm hot, it's hot. -Hey, isn't that a little too hot?

Even so, don't have a baby too quickly.

The moment you have a baby, your newlywed life is over.

Hey, that's advice for 20-somethings! She has to consider her age now.

To be honest,

it's easier to have a baby sooner, even if by one day.

But even when you think that,

as soon as you visit your in-laws, such thoughts vanish.

But in-laws are probably better than company bosses who are total jerks, right?

Let's drink this and shake it all off.

Cheers!

Soo-ji, you still drink like a fish?

You are pretty amazing.

When I was pregnant, I craved beer so much

I would watch beer commercials every night.

Wasn't it to see Song Joong-ki in those commercials?

These days, it's all about Park Bo-gum, not Song Joong-ki.

Come on, how could you young ladies who haven't had kids relate to that feeling?

They have no idea.

Do you have a separate smoking room?

You can smoke in the parking lot.

-All right. -Why do you need a smoking room?

You can't smoke indoors. You'll get fined.

Yeah, that's right. I think it's about 100,000 won.

Soo-ji.

Do you have plans to get married?

No. I'm not interested in that.

But later, if you change your mind, you could get married.

I guess, yeah. If I changed my mind, I could.

But shouldn't you quit smoking, then?

What?

You know, if you're going to have kids,

I guess drinking now is all right,

but nicotine is not fully expelled from your body,

and it's really bad for the baby. Isn't that right?

That is true.

Did you see that?

Nag...

Yes, your body is important if you plan to have babies.

They just nag about everything. Nag meeting.

Why does everyone become like that when they get married?

Non-stop nagging.

That's why everyone gets married.

One of the fun parts of life

is getting to nag people.

But, Ho-rang. Did you not eat much there? Are you hungry?

Yep, I'm hungry.

I couldn't really eat earlier. I had an upset stomach.

I'm the one who picked a fight. Why is your stomach upset?

I was jealous.

I was jealous of the married girls, and upset.

I couldn't eat anything.

I gotta admit, since I turned 30, things are different for sure.

That's true. When I'm standing, even for a little bit while serving, I get tired.

My skin isn't the same as before, either. The other day...

After I gave birth, my body changed. Was it like that for you, too?

You sent your kids to kindergarten. You're pretty much done raising them.

What's the use of being done with kids? I still have to raise my husband.

I never weighed over 105 pounds.

Not even once....

I was like that.

But now, it changed...

I'm off.

Bye!

My belly is about to burst.

I ate like I was shooting a mukbang video today.

Then should we walk a bit?

Should we?

Hee-joo and Yeong-ok became best friends after they got married, huh?

That's true. They used to be like oil and water.

You too, Ji-ho.

What? Me?

The girls always found you difficult before.

But now that you're married, they're comfortable with you.

Now you all have something in common.

So? That's just because we haven't seen each other in a while.

And after thinking about it,

they didn't say anything that was wrong.

About what?

After all, it's the woman who has to have the baby.

Better to have kids when you're even just a year younger, and healthier.

If you want to do that, it makes sense to get married a year younger.

Ho-rang...

Why do you want to get married?

You know, right?

That ever since I was little, I had no interest in black clothes.

Of course.

Red, pink, yellow.

Whenever we would get together,

I would make bets with Soo-ji about what bright color you would show up wearing.

But you know, these days, I open my closet

and find myself drawn to clothes that don't stand out.

Whatever clothes you wear it with, it'll look good.

Wherever you go, you won't stick out.

That's why I like it.

You know,

one of the women who was in my mom's circle of friends

was a manager of some insurance company.

She took great care of herself, so she was slim, had no wrinkles,

and she earned a lot.

After their visits to the bathhouse, she'd always treat everyone to a meal.

All the other women were envious of her and her fabulous lifestyle.

I see.

But you know,

when they all took a group trip,

they would leave her out.

Really? Why?

She was...

a red coat.

She was too busy working to get married.

Ji-ho, I...

just want to live an average life, like other people.

With a husband,

with kids... that kind of woman.

When I see other friends, I want to talk about our in-laws together,

and about raising our kids.

Now I just want to wear

that kind of a black coat.

So I don't stand out. I'll be the same as other people.

Doing the same thing as other people,

talking together,

laughing together.

That's my dream.

To me, marriage means...

that I am as good as everyone else,

that I have worth as a woman.

That's what a black coat...

says to me now.

Ho-rang was a kid well suited for the color red.

-Gosh, why isn't she coming? -She'll probably come soon.

Ji-ho! Soo-ji!

I'm going home.

-No, wait! -I'm leaving!

Hey, are you a stoplight?

What? It's pretty!

It's tacky, totally tacky.

-Let's go! -Let's go!

A girl who was always confident,

even when she wore different colors than other people.

That's who Ho-rang was.

KYUNG-HAE

When did we start...

being embarrassed to wear different colors than other people?

But what's even more upsetting...

One, two, three!

is that for me...

the feeling of wearing that black coat called marriage...

was not that bad after all.

If I was being honest...

Ji-ho, congratulations again on your marriage.

Let's see each other more often.

Let's have a couples' gathering next time.

Welcome to married life!

...I liked it...

that I somehow belonged now.

What brings you here?

You said you were coming home on the bus in your text earlier.

It's really late...

and there was the situation with Bok-nam yesterday.

To be honest, I was a little worried,

as the person who lives with you.

As the person who lives with me?

Yes.

You mean, like, being a kind landlord?

Or consideration for your tenant?

Well, more like...

a leader of a club

taking care of its member, I guess?

Right.

Shall we go?

So you met with your former classmates?

Yes.

Honestly, it was a little strange today.

They're not close friends...

but now that I'm married...

it feels like I've gotten closer to them...

the feeling of belonging to a group.

It's been a long time since I've felt that.

It feels...

It was nice, actually.

Now you're at the stage where you experience a sense of belonging.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

When a human reaches one level of need,

they naturally want the next level.

Why suddenly?

Why would Maslow come up now?

It's not out of nowhere.

Your current state is when you're feeling

your animalistic needs most, as a human.

Through marriage, you have achieved

the basic hierarchy of physiological needs.

Then through me, as your landlord,

you've achieved the next phase: safety needs.

Now, the third phase: social belonging.

You've naturally developed the need

to belong somewhere.

So these feelings you are having

are nothing more than animalistic desires.

I only feel this every once in a while...

These are all instinctive, but ultimately futile desires of humans, of course.

...but he can be really obnoxious sometimes.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Stars in the sky tonight...

There really aren't any.

I deposited my monthly rent today.

Yes, I've checked it.

Ho-rang, are you still sleeping?

Yeah.

Get up. It's already noon.

Just a little longer. I want to sleep in since today's my day off.

It's sunny, so I want to hang up the blankets.

Why have you been so busy since early this morning?

Stop scratching your head.

Rang, you'll get dandruff!

What?

Wow, since we've been together seven years now,

you're letting yourself go, huh?

You used to wash your hair upon waking up,

put on eyeliner, do it all. That's all gone now.

So now that it's been seven years, you're pretty full of yourself, huh?

Don't mess with me today!

I'm not doing anything today, not even showering.

Wake up.

What is this?

Is that dirt under your nails?

Gross...

Rang! There's dirt under your fingernails, dirt!

Hey? How could I have dirt under my fingernails...

Where? No dirt at all...

Seok...

Just look at this.

What is this?

Ho-rang. You know my favorite mathematician,

Gödel.

His "Incompleteness Theorem" became the foundation

for the development of today's computers.

What it says, among other things, is that there is truth

that cannot be proven by mathematics.

I think that all this time, I wanted some sort of proof regarding you.

So what I realized is that...

complete proof of our love is not possible.

Because it is such a perfect truth.

Do you know what I'm trying to say?

Do you think...

I would...

know?

Stop babbling crap and say it.

From now on,

I won't make you feel insecure and lonely anymore.

So, Ho-rang.

Will you...

please marry me?

We're really getting married?

Yeah, we are.

How can this happen now? I have bedhead.

That's why I told you to shower, dummy.

Where's this water coming from?

What is this?

All right, let's stop the meeting here.

Excuse me, Ms. Yoon Bo-mi!

The CEO isn't finished talking. Please take a seat.

Everyone, I want to give you some great news.

I scouted a very talented developer.

-No way. -Who is it?

Some of you may know him already. Who could it be?

Get Up's CEO, Sim Won-seok!

Applause!

What's with this atmosphere?

Follow me.

All right, you all wrap up here.

Why on earth would they be against this?

Why would they? Because Get Up was a total failure.

If you're scouting him just because he is your friend,

then I concluded I should step up to represent all the employees.

Wow, Chief Nam, do you think the CEO of your company is such a loser?

Won-seok may look plain on the outside, but he is a genius.

Do you know the '07 class incident?

In the freshman class, school of engineering,

someone made that site, "Find the Second Kim Tae-hee,"

and all the servers were overloaded and shut down?

Right! That was none other than Won-seok.

Do you know how old he was that time? Eighteen.

Even though he started school early

and was two years younger than the rest of his year,

he was the best of the best.

All right, Chief Nam,

I'll be honest. He's a bit weak when it comes to business.

But as a developer, he's really the best.

Chief Nam. You believe me, right?

What is that expression?

Like you're looking at a stray cat soaked in the rain.

It's not.

What's not?

I said it's not.

Do you know what the most annoying things in the world are?

Having to stop mid-poop, not wiping it completely,

or someone who starts to talk, then stops.

Okay. Let's talk outside.

What do you mean? It's cold outside.

Okay, then.

CEO Ma...

Did you, by any chance,

cry?

Why would I cry?

What... Why would I cry?

After you cry, the edges of your eyes turn red.

The skin under your eyes is more sensitive than most people's.

What are you saying? It isn't red.

What do you know about my skin?

What do you know about me?

Sure. Even though I've known you for 18 years,

I can't possibly say I know everything about you.

That's right. No matter how close we are, you don't know everything about me.

Look. Because I have an allergy, it's always red here.

Why would I cry? It's just red.

You're right. No one completely knows even their own self.

Of course, we can't know everything about another person.

That's it.

But anyway.

-What? -Why...

did you cry?

Wow, it looks like new.

Right?

But I still wanted to make sure it never got scratched

-until the day I parted with it. -Until the day you part with it?

Are you selling your bike to someone else? How much would you sell it for?

It's a secret.

He's ridiculously cute.

If we stay together,

I might jump on you.

It was Room 304, not Room 303. Our room.

I said I wanted to sleep with you, not date you.

That's right.

I am very mean and terrible.

That is how I made it this far.

CEO Ma.

Excuse me...

Are you crying?

Why...

You don't feel well?

CEO Ma!

-CEO Ma! -Come here.

CEO! CEO!

Where did he go?

He isn't here, either.

Then where did he go?

CEO!

If your employees find out that you were crying,

that would be humiliating.

What's wrong?

Are you hurt? Do you want me to take you to a hospital?

I thought about it.

My company, I can't do it.

What?

I really thought about it a lot.

I don't think I can sell my company.

But if I don't sell my company...

that means I can't see you anymore.

That's why...

my heart...

hurts so much.

If you really want to be with me...

sell your company first.

Then I'll date you.

Then, because I said you should sell your company...

Really?

Love is important to me, but...

my company is just as important to me as love is.

This is really embarrassing,

but...

when I think about not being able to see you...

You know what?

Can I kiss you?

What?

Do what?

Can I kiss you?

Don't do that. I'm telling you, I can't give up my company.

So, you don't want me to?

That's not what I mean, either.

Should I kiss you, then?

Yeah.

We tend to misunderstand others most of the time.

"I know how you feel."

We must not say that.

Where did CEO Ma go?

Let's go to the cafe. I'll treat everyone to cake.

When I discover the limits of human beings,

such as in moments like this, that is when I feel hope.

Welcome!

If we don't make an effort...

then we can't understand each other.

In such a world,

this thing called love exists.

Hey, Boss, you're going to work at Don't Marry, Date.

Is that why you stopped our app?

I'm pathetic for wasting two years believing in you.

We'll see how well you do.

Therefore, as long we love someone,

we have to make that effort.

Ta-da! I'm all ready!

How do I look? Pretty?

-Pretty. -Isn't it pretty?

Making that effort for someone else,

that very act itself...

is what makes our lives worth living at all.

IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE EFFORT.

Judging by how you keep reading that book, it must be fun to read.

Yeah. It's interesting.

You're still really angry, right?

About what?

Because I thought the girl I worked with was cute,

I wanted to YOLO with her, and nearly ended up going to jail?

I'm really sorry.

Just know I took it easy on you because your fake husband was kind of cool.

To imagine I fell for those words.

You found yourself a good landlord.

What words?

I asked him,

when he came to pay for the side mirror, why he married you.

And? What did he say?

Why didn't CEO Ma come to the cafe today?

CEO Ma had...

another important matter to attend to.

I heard Won-seok is joining your company.

Yes, he'll probably be on my team.

I see.

Wow, there are...

a lot of stars in the sky.

Is that the Big Dipper?

What is that?

Our wedding pictures.

They came out well!

They totally slipped my mind.

My coworkers put it together as a wedding present.

It does look a bit empty, though.

You should have invited more friends.

In all honesty, I don't have a lot of friends.

-Besides these two here. -Having two friends is still a lot.

It's not a lot.

I think that having even one is enough,

a friend in your life.

That's what I think.

What about love?

What do you think about love?

For me,

I think that loving someone once in life would be enough.

Yes.

I think...

like that, too.

In life, loving someone once...

would be...

enough.

Soo-ji said, when it comes to men and real estate agents,

the more of them you meet, the better.

Ho-rang says the man you marry is your love...

and destiny.

But, for me...

ever since I was little, I thought

it would be nice, when it comes to love, to love just one person

in this life.

MARRIAGE DECLARATION DECEMBER 24, 2005

HUSBAND: NAM SE-HEE

WIFE: JUNG-MIN

I have someone I like.

-What are you saying? -What? Who?

My husband.

Hey, are you joking right now?

What's with you, Ji-ho, are you rubbing it in?

Then, I'm going to confess my love for Won-seok here.

You guys. Just go to sleep!

My once-in-a-lifetime love...

has begun.

BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE

This thing called marriage is so nice.

Having a one-sided crush on your husband

-probably isn't easy. -Is it that obvious?

Is it because of this?

Won-seok, that's your mentor.

Will you be okay coming to this company?

I'm getting married!

You want a contract? For us to date?

I like you, CEO Ma. I want to date you.

You and Soo-ji? That "unrecoverable application error,"

-feeling like your life will be ruined. -Sang-goo.

How do you do all this yourself?

My daughter-in-law is so precious. How can I ask her to work?

Ji-ho's starting her life with the in-laws, too?

A way into that man's heart...

does it even exist?
