You're with Dongwoon Daily?

[sighs] Yes.

-You two really know each other already? -Yes.

You, ma'am, are you absolutely sure you know him?

I don't know. Can't say that I really, truly do.

Can't say that you do?

Uh, just a minute.

Ugh, Jesus Christ.

Here, look at that.

JARIM APPAREL SEO JI-WOO

We know each other.

So, why were you taking her...

For real.

I... I had something to say,

but she didn't.

She was avoiding me, so I couldn't...

I wasn't doing that.

-Hey. -What?

[sighs]

[amusing music playing]

Is this important?

Why are you running away again?

'Cause I was... just wondering.

Is this really a good time to do it? Go to England?

Why would you care?

I can screw around in Korea or over on the London Bridge.

That has nothing to do with you at all. That is my call.

I'm saying that's a really selfish mindset.

It's all about what you want, isn't it?

For instance, your sister, right? She'll have to run the company on her own.

You're here throwing cash around. You should stay and learn something.

You were always so freaking nosy.

[woman over PA] Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

All passengers bound...

Anyway, that's it. We can talk about all this later.

I gotta get to the office, okay?

-That's it, then? -Yeah, that's it.

Okay, then what about the flight I had to cancel?

I don't think it...

First class, 7.2 million won. You'll pay, won't you?

-First class? What the hell? -Pay me.

-Huh? -You gotta because you're at fault.

I got rid of everything I own, and I put my house on the market.

It's not like I'm gonna sleep in an empty house.

I'm gonna stay at yours.

You are? But why? Go to a hotel.

Oh, hotel room's gonna cost you.

I'm staying at THE PLAZA, okay?

-Can't... Can't you just go back... -Shut up.

You better give me your door code or wire me the ticket price right away.

What's your routing number?

Nuri Bank. [sighs] 345864...

-Too fast, start over. -345864834.

It's done. See ya. This isn't done, by the way.

[cell phone pings]

NURI BANK WIRE TRANSFER

1,121 won?

[scoffs]

Wow, I've never been sent such a tiny payment before.

Huh? What a lunatic.

You asked for the code.

Oh, we're sleeping over.

[clicks tongue]

Nice.

EPISODE 3

Yeah, so Ji-woo, she's actually staying over.

I don't even know. It just turned out that way.

You should go there and just...

Huh?

I think me going there could ruin everything.

It'll look like I'm trying to spy on Ji-woo.

And if she finds out that I asked you to help me out,

way worse.

[sighs deeply]

Ah, whatever, it is what it is.

Oh, I just realized. I have a call right now.

See ya later.

-[line disconnects] -[chuckles softly]

[line disconnects]

Are these girls...

Is this all a trick?

No, Se-yeong, I'm saying I didn't even check in.

What? Kyeong-do showed up at the airport?

Kyeong-do what? On speaker! Put it on speaker! Let me hear!

-[toy squeaks] -[both] Ow!

-Watch out! -That really hurt!

I mean, he wouldn't let me go.

-[staff] Next person in line. -Please come this way.

[dramatic music playing]

Stay here, Ji-woo.

We're not together anymore.

I can't bear to see you go.

Kyeong-do.

Come on.

[both laughing]

So where are you now?

Me?

Well, right now, Kyeong-do's place.

[gasps] Kyeong-do's place? [laughs]

-Kyeong-do took her in. -Wait, why?

I've no idea. He told me to stay here and wait for him.

And that he didn't want me to be left alone or whatever.

[chuckles]

[dramatic music continues]

You should really go back to work.

Where are you going?

I guess I'll be going home.

All on my own.

One, one, two, one.

You and I, the two of us, we turn into one.

That's my door code.

The thought of you all alone in that big house again.

Unacceptable.

Won't you just stay over?

Mmm-hmm.

[music intensifies]

SEO JI-WOO

-What is happening? -[gasps] Kyeong-do...

Hey, Kyeong-do is so... He's such a romantic.

Aw...

-This guy's a romantic like me. He's so... -Oh my god.

[laughs]

-Call him. Do it. -Wait. Hold on.

[line connects, ringing]

[laughs]

Huh? Hey, bro. Hey.

Oh? Hey.

[Woo-sik] I heard you made quite the scene at the airport,

trying to stop Seo Ji-woo from leaving.

I did? At the airport?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Oh, dude.

God, I wanna throw up.

Ugh.

[line disconnects]

I don't know how she could...

She's lost control.

[groans]

[sighs] This is stressful as shit.

Hey, you're some kind of Shakespeare the way you make stuff up.

Must be why you chose England...

[liquid pouring]

[Ji-woo chuckles]

What?

I chose England to get sex-perience?

Jesus Christ.

Did you really go through all these cans today?

-Hey, here! -Yeah.

Hey, get up right now.

My apartment's not a bar, okay?

What are you even doing? Go stay at your house.

-I'll send you 7 million won. Just go. -Mmm-mmm.

[sniffs, grunts]

Hey, Kyeong-do, by the way... [sniffs]

This shirt really stinks. [sniffs]

I don't know. It just smells kind of... [sniffs] gross.

-[sniffs] -Don't wear it.

[grunts] You want me to strip for you?

[scoffs and mutters]

Hey, you're a lost cause. Get up. Come on, get up.

Get off! You're the one who stopped me.

[clicks tongue, sighs]

-You should have a drink. -Well, I'd rather not.

Huh? Why are you talking like that?

You're angry, aren't you?

[sighs, scoffs] Jeez. You gotta get a grip.

[clears throat]

Okay, done.

Now, let's have our talk. [inhales deeply]

So, why'd you stop me there?

Hmm?

When you heard I was going, how did you...

Were you... Mmm.

Were you sad? Hmm?

-[scoffs] -[Ji-woo chuckles]

Let's talk again later. Go and get changed now.

Gosh, you're always... [grunts]

-Fine, I'll take it off. -Hey, I didn't...

Don't... I wasn't saying to take your clothes off.

Why are you saying that? Huh? [grunts]

-[laughs] -Hey, get off...

[strains] Hey, what're you doing?

-Widdle baby Kyeong-do. -I can't...

You're such a cutie!

Oh, you're such a little cutie.

Aren't you? [laughs]

[chuckles]

Hey, can we... [grunts]

SPRING 2007

All right, you'll be on the rooms for this one.

We're at capacity today.

Oh, okay. On it, sir.

[knock on door]

-[people laughing] -[woman] Oh my goodness.

[laughter continues]

[woman] Oh, that's so funny.

[laughing]

[coughing]

[continues coughing]

Ji-woo, you okay?

[sentimental music playing]

[Ji-woo coughs]

[Hyun-kyeong] Oh no.

Ji-woo, when you're back in the States, when does the semester start?

[Hyun-kyeong] She's heading back soon.

[Ji-woo's aunt] It looks like you've lost some weight.

It's noticeable. Are you dieting?

She always eats well, and she's certainly sleeping.

-She's still skinny though. -[Ji-woo's aunt] Oh no.

You'll be gone for quite a while this time.

I'll send you off with some herbs.

[melancholy music playing]

[sommelier] Excuse me, sir, would you like to try the wine?

[Won-seok] Yes, please. Pour me a glass.

Ji-woo, let's go outside a second.

Excuse us, we're going to the restroom.

So this is where you work? On the weekends?

Uh-huh.

So you're having a family dinner?

Uh-huh.

[inhales sharply]

Oh, so you, uh...

Is your school... Oh.

Who are you?

Oh, hello, ma'am.

-You're a friend of Ji-woo? -[sighs]

[Kyeong-do] Oh, yes.

How long have you known each other?

-I don't recognize you. -Uh, Mom, Kyeong-do...

One of my close friends is friends with her, so...

We were just saying hi.

Ma'am, may I help you with anything?

[chuckles softly] Would you mind changing our waiter?

[manager] Of course.

[Hyun-kyeong] I don't want things to be uncomfortable

while we're trying to enjoy our dinner.

A part-time caterer

in a VIP room?

It doesn't work.

Uh...

Um, enjoy the rest of your meal.

Oh.

[Hyun-kyeong chuckles] Ji-woo, let's head back in.

Everyone's waiting for us in there. [chuckles softly]

[sentimental music playing]

[sighs]

So the chairman's daughter's your friend then?

The chairman?

The JARIM Apparel chairman's daughter. The owner of Indiago.

-Oh... -[scoffs]

You didn't know that about her?

HEY, KYEONG-DO

[sighs softly]

Have you eaten?

Let's go eat.

Come on. Let's grab a bite.

[sobs]

Sorry, Kyeong-do. [sobs]

[sighs]

Ji-woo.

[somber music playing]

Your feelings are...

sincere, right?

[sobs]

[chuckles softly]

[chuckles softly]

[door lock beeping]

[electronic trill]

[door lock clicks]

[door lock beeps]

[whimsical music playing]

Why'd you bring that back?

-It's too frustrating to even talk about. -What is?

The fact that I still deliver my adult son's dry-cleaning.

It's time for him to pick it up himself.

Did you two have a fight?

[door opens]

[bright music playing]

Why did you change your clothes? Feeling embarrassed now?

[clears throat]

Make me one.

[hissing]

[sighs]

-Remember anything? -Mmm.

Think about the times you've acted regrettably.

It's always due to alcohol.

You know, I wouldn't do it to just anyone.

[scoffs]

It's great to hear it's only around me.

Romantic, wasn't it?

You carried me over here, and then you put me there.

-I put you to bed. -You're lying. I was conscious.

[sighs]

Why'd you stop though?

[Ji-yeon] You know what Ji-woo's like.

She's always been so full of energy, but with that comes a trade-off.

All that excess energy is ruining her health.

Ji-woo had a hard time getting her divorce to go through

because of her depression and alcoholism.

[scoffs] And if she finds out

that I'm about to lose everything because of my Alzheimer's...

[breathes shakily] then Ji-woo will probably...

This is all so hard.

So she can never find out.

We all have to agree it's better this way.

[clicks tongue]

Here's what I think.

This was your chance for you to redefine yourself before you turn 40.

But you just tried to run away again.

Same as you did at 20, at 28 too.

Whether it's New York or England, I wouldn't stop you if you had a reason.

What were you gonna do there?

You kept me here so you could lecture me.

[inhales sharply] Take a look at all those bottles.

That amount of British liquor could kill you.

Before you go, you gotta get a grip on things.

This is why you came all the way to the airport yesterday?

-You know I'm worried for you. -Is that it?

[scoffs]

[clicks tongue, inhales sharply]

[sighs] You want the car key? Or are you taking a taxi?

-You should really go home first and... -I won't.

I'm about to leave anyway.

You telling me you want me to go back to that house?

I don't wanna start all over. So no.

Were you even listening?

You don't seem to get what I was trying to say.

[scoffs] So you kept me here just to give me a lecture?

I don't buy it. I know what this really is.

You held me back because you have feelings for me.

You have deep-seated feelings for me,

and you shouldn't try to force them down, Kyeong-do.

-You don't believe me? -[inhales deeply]

I don't know where you get this stuff. It's all crazy.

Hurry back. It's boring here.

I can't come home early to babysit you, so maybe you should go on home.

And we'll discuss this later. You should change your mindset.

[scoffs]

[door lock beeps]

[pants] Did you meet up with Aaron?

We met up in Beijing.

The purchase price is low.

It's not my company, but that price gets us nothing at all.

-He's talking to China. -What for?

[sighs]

He knows some IT guys.

They're interested in collaborating with an apparel company like JARIM.

Besides, Min-woo, the price isn't what matters now, is it?

Time is running out.

If this goes wrong, we're both screwed.

Your paper company cost me 30 billion won. So don't make me regret that.

[sighs]

We got rid of your brother-in-law or whatever Cho Jin-eon is.

-When are you gonna get rid of her? -Soon, okay?

-It won't be long. -[cell phone vibrating]

[sighs heavily]

[suspenseful music playing]

I give it a year.

How long do you think Ji-yeon can keep it hidden, huh?

She literally goes, "Where am I going? I don't know who I am."

[chuckles]

Once people catch on, it won't take long. I'd hold on to Aaron.

He's gonna be in Korea. So let's set a meeting up.

[cell phone vibrating]

What the heck?

What's for lunch?

-The same place? -Sounds good.

[both chuckle]

[line ringing]

[automation in Korean] Sorry, the call cannot be connected.

Please leave a message...

[in English] Pick up the phone for your own good.

Kang Min-woo.

[Mr. Oh] They're in talks with a guy named Aaron.

He specializes in buying and selling companies.

According to Bae Jun-soo,

Aaron said that a Chinese IT company's interested in a buyout.

Bae Jun-soo and Aaron, they're meeting a lot?

No, seems like they meet up once a month or so.

They were at the tennis court earlier.

[scoffs] Understood. Thank you for that.

[sighs]

You know I'm unwell,

that's why you're doing this.

[scoffs]

[groans]

[sighs]

[amusing music playing]

[beeping]

[electronic trill]

[door lock beeps]

Where is she?

[sighs]

-[shower running] -Huh?

[sighs]

Lee Kyeong-do, that you?

What the heck?

TAKE OUT - DELIVERY YEONGYANG JOKBAL

[cell phone vibrating]

Shoot.

The jokbal line's pretty long. Stay calm and wait there?

What a pain.

You should've gotten makgeolli to go with this.

-Try having soda instead. -That's too much sugar.

Then why don't you just have water?

Hey, you know, doesn't having a roommate make things a little...

Mmm... A little cozier?

-Know what I'm saying? -No, not really.

It's a lot better than silence.

You overheard me in the shower. You got jokbal...

How do those things relate?

You showering and jokbal have nothing to do with each other.

[scoffs]

Your job is making you really uptight. Why're you so critical?

It's insane. You're so spoiled you have no sense of reality at all.

You see the world the way a little girl would.

Yeah, right. And here you are having jokbal with a little girl.

-You sicko. -[sighs]

Great. You know what? You can eat on your own.

Oh, just stop!

Doesn't seem like you're about to go anywhere.

I told you I can't.

So go ahead and make yourself at home, pretend like this is your house.

I can't stand being alone in here with you for another minute.

-I'd rather stay at the sauna. -Okay.

Yeah, go pass out at the sauna and spend the night there.

You gotta come back in the morning to change

'cause day-old shirts really stink like hell!

-You know that? -Oh, yeah?

That's my favorite scent.

[door slams shut]

You lease this place?

If I break something, you gotta fix it. Property law.

The landlord is very understanding.

Someone died in the apartment,

so he gives me first-class treatment to make up for it.

Your kind of thing. Enjoy it.

[door opens, closes]

It's haunted, huh? That's actually so scary.

[eerie music playing]

Gosh, Kyeong-do, you ass!

If there are ghosts...

I'll hold them back with alcohol.

I worked so hard to get on that lease, and Seo Ji-woo took it over.

[clicks tongue]

Rich girls are the worst.

[yawning] Shit.

[groans]

[sighs]

[Ji-woo] He's not coming home again?

Is he making a point, or is he having an affair?

SLEEPING ROOM (FOR MEN)

[alarm beeping]

[Kyeong-do] Send me a text to let me know when you move out.

[Ji-woo] I think there are bugs in your compost.

Come and clean it before they start laying eggs.

[Kyeong-do] Empty the compost yourself.

The key to the trash closet's next to the sink.

And remember to clean your dishes after you eat.

If you see any maggots, you can always stir-fry them up. Hot tip.

[Ji-woo] So you're not coming back until I leave? Seriously?

[Kyeong-do] At this point, you're basically trespassing.

[Ji-woo] You made me cancel my flight.

[Kyeong-do] I think you need to stop playing dumb.

You're a trespasser, Seo Ji-woo.

Who'll be available on Thursday, the 16th, at 1 p.m.?

I am, I can go.

-You're not free that day. -I'm not?

Check your schedule. Come on.

Uh, sorry.

Shoulder hurting you, Kyeong-do?

It's atrophying.

You should be the one to go, Assistant Manager Lee.

Ah, shit.

[whimsical music playing]

What's different?

He's not innocent anymore.

[chuckles softly]

JARIM Apparel? That clothing company? Wait, wait. That... That gigantic one?

Yeah, who cares? So what? She doesn't even go to school here.

Chaos's whole identity depends on this play, dude!

-[Jeong-min] Still, the club... -Ji-woo...

Mmm. The timing was the main issue.

But she wasn't trying to fool us or anything.

-Hey, dude, you're getting too close. -[Woo-sik] Ugh, whatever.

Her family owns a conglomerate!

No wonder she's been throwing money around.

Such a greedy little capitalist. What is wrong with you, huh?

-[indistinct arguing] -Ugh, cut it out!

I'm sorry.

Could we just move past all this crap?

Did you hide this from us because you wanted friends?

Huh?

-Uh... Yeah. Uh-huh. -Yeah. Yes.

I think there's something that deserves clarification here.

You. That car you're using.

You said it was a loan. Is it really yours?

-Yes. -Oh! You got a car?

Hey, my dad's a car salesman, and I still haven't got... [grunts]

Are you a good driver?

Well, I haven't been in an accident.

[sighs, tuts] Hey, so how about we do a workshop retreat. What do you say?

Huh? I just... Are you... Workshop?

Workshop, what? Right now?

Heh. Sounds nice, huh?

We could workshop, mmm...

-in the car! -[chuckles]

Should... Should we go now?

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hey!

-[all exclaiming] -So we're gonna do a workshop now?

-[overlapping chatter] -[squealing happily]

-Workshop, workshop, workshop! -[cheering]

[bright song playing]

[all cheering]

[cheering and laughing]

-Oh, the air feels so great! -[laughter]

Jeong-min, can you drive faster so I can really feel the wind?

-This car is awesome! -Can you lend me this car for a week?

[cheering and laughing]

[Woo-sik] Hell yeah!

Do it and you die.

[all laughing]

[Woo-sik] All right! Step on it! Let's go!

[cheering loudly]

-I'm coming for you! -Hey, hey!

Oh... [chuckles]

-This is great. -[chuckles]

[inhales deeply] I really love the sound of waves.

This was a good idea.

I had so much fun today.

[seagulls squawking]

Ji-woo!

What are you doing out here by yourself? There's no one around.

Aren't you scared?

-[chuckles] Search with me. -Huh?

Hey, who knows what there is? You might even find 500 won.

Five hundred?

[chuckles] Hurry up, come on.

You really think I'm gonna find that much?

You know, my mom actually has this one saying.

"You can dig forever and not find one coin."

So I think it's unlikely we're gonna find 500 won.

Ugh. Why don't you try it for me? Come on!

You know, you might find it.

I'll just get sand in my nail.

-Okay, fine. Like this? -[chuckles] Yes.

-I do this? Like this? -Uh-huh.

There's nothing to...

Wait, hold on. Huh?

Hey, you must've done this.

[laughs]

Wait. Don't you recognize what it is?

-It's a coin. -No.

Do you know what's special about that 500-won coin?

[inhales deeply]

Mmm...

-It's worth 500 won? -[laughs]

No, it's the 500 won you lost.

The one from in front of the school that day. You know?

Huh?

-Oh. -[chuckles]

-You had it all along? -Mmm-hmm.

I'll give it back to you now since it brought us together.

[chuckles]

[both chuckle]

So, you've kept it with you since then?

You really had this thing all along?

That's pretty impressive.

Be sure to hold on to it. Got that? Hmm?

Promise.

Okay.

[sentimental song playing]

-Oh, I'll take this. -Sure.

-I'll get you a new item. -Thanks.

[inhales sharply]

Hey, this is my dad's company.

But you worked so hard to make that money.

I wanted to keep my promise to you.

Also, I wanted to support your family's brand.

I figured, if I got you an outfit from JARIM,

it's two good things at once.

[chuckles softly]

Sure, thank you for this. [laughs]

-I really love the color. -Really?

I do. You picked this out?

I did.

Also, here.

What's this?

Huh?

Press right there.

[chuckles lightly]

Kyeong-do.

[chuckles softly]

It's a gift for you. A reminder.

How we're together because of that coin.

Don't forget, all right?

[chuckles]

Hey, this is so pretty. It's really beautiful.

I love it.

-Wow. -Great.

[chuckles]

I'll cherish it forever.

[Kyeong-do sighs]

Assistant Manager Lee, is something wrong?

You're looking so drained.

You're like slowly rotting away.

-Atrophy, right? -Ah.

Hey, how about some gopchang with cola?

Wow.

[romantic music playing]

Oh, I... [nervously] Let's go.

Hey, let's talk outside.

I locked the gas valve for you.

And I vacuumed everywhere too.

-Thank you? -I didn't do the laundry though.

All I wore was that one shirt,

and it'd be waste of water and detergent if I only washed that.

-You're so eco-friendly now. -Oh...

I ran out of underwear, so I borrowed one of yours.

And I hand-washed that.

-You should've just thrown it out. -[chuckles]

I always thought living with you would be different.

See ya.

[amusing music playing]

Don't you dare ask me any questions right now.

Why did she say that thing about vacuuming, huh?

Why did she wear your underwear?

"Living with you"?

-What? -[sighs]

[scoffs]

I swear to god.

What exactly's going on here?

Where are you going, Kyeong-do?

Tell me, what's going on?

-Don't cry. -Where are you going? [laughs]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[Ji-woo] Oh, yeah, I couldn't figure out the recycling.

[sighs heavily]

Jesus, in the time it took to stack these, you could've figured it out.

God, same old maniac. She sure is crazy. Ugh.

Not like I didn't already know. Seriously.

[groans]

Mom? You scared me. [grunts]

What are you doing with this?

I didn't drink all this.

Then where did you get these? Are you drinking again?

I swear I'm not.

[blows] I'm not.

Did you collect them for refunds? Are you broke?

It's all my friend's.

He's a little out of it now, so I...

I thought I should take these out for the guy.

Your friend left without cleaning any of their stuff up?

I see how this all looks, I get it.

I didn't drink at all. I swear that I didn't.

I can't be put through that ever again. You know?

Uh, doesn't the Bible say to give the benefit of the doubt?

By the way, why're you taking this weird route to the store?

I'm spying on you, you brat!

Mom, no...

I didn't drink any of them, I'm telling you!

Hey, he's always the one who starts it though.

Ugh, he's just twisting my words now.

[grunts softly]

[sighs] So?

-Did you move out? -Mmm.

-And what now, off to England? -Mmm-hmm.

Hey, you should stay here.

So you're saying that you want me to stay?

I am. It'd just be nice to get to see your pretty face every day.

[both laugh]

Do you know why Kyeong-do wouldn't let me go that day?

Nah, but he clearly doesn't hate you.

-I was on top and he wouldn't do anything. -I'm sorry, what?

Oh, well, I jumped on him, yeah.

To see how he feels... [inhales sharply] If he still... you know.

[chuckles softly]

So I played around.

[sighs]

[soft music playing]

[sighs]

[Se-yeong groans] Someone should write a case study on you two.

You guys are so weird.

What did you do at Kyeong-do's? Were you all on your own?

Oh, I just drank a whole lot.

I don't know why Kyeong-do won't drink anymore.

Or was it just so he wouldn't fall for me?

Kyeong-do doesn't drink anymore.

Why not? Does he have a liver problem?

[sighs]

Ji-woo, hey.

Kyeong-do's sober now, so don't mess around.

Kyeong-do...

Something happened?

He went through rehab for a while.

[somber music playing]

He was hospitalized for a long time.

Before that, he was almost fired.

When?

When was that?

Well...

When you took off.

[sighs]

He'd gone through it before, the first time.

But then, the second time you left him,

he collapsed.

[sobs]

Ji-woo!

Ji-woo!

[bell chimes]

[somber music continues]

[panting]

You're not a nice guy. You're just an idiot.

When an idiot goes nuts, it's hopeless.

-You've been drinking? [sniffs] -Get the fuck away.

What is... What's wrong with you?

Hey, Lee Kyeong-do.

"Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol." I wondered why you went on about it.

Really? Alcoholism? That's only in stories, isn't it?

How could you have that?

I don't know why you'd make a big deal over nothing.

What, are you kidding?

You were hospitalized, and you almost got fired.

Is that nothing?

What should I have done, huh?

[melancholy music playing]

I didn't know what to do.

I just kept drinking, and then I lost control.

It happened so fast.

That's why I told you to quit drinking, so you won't end up the same way.

That's all in the past now.

There's really no need to freak out.

Why did you drink?

-I don't know. What does it matter? -Why were you drinking so much?

[sighs]

I don't know what you want me to say.

You drank because of me.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

It wasn't the fault of anyone.

It was honestly just because I liked to drink.

[sighs]

You never blame me even a little for it,

though I wish you would!

I was a bitch to you, and you're saying you did it 'cause you enjoyed it?

I drank because I was frustrated!

I went on walks, I went on runs,

but I felt better when I was drunk!

Happy now?

[scoffs]

I was distraught.

I didn't understand how you could just leave.

Even now, just like then, I don't understand.

[train rattling]

[sighs]

[heartrending song playing]

[Kyeong-do sobs]

[sobbing]

[continues sobbing]

Hey.

How could you just go?

[breathes shakily]

How could you just up and go? [sobs]

You should've talked to me at least! [cries]

[crying]

You were a bitch, Ji-woo!

[sobbing]

[sobs]

-Shit. -[sobs] Seriously...

[objects rattling]

[sobs]

[crying]

[continues crying]

[door opens]

[door closes]

I'm getting dizzy.

I'm running out of energy after hearing that I'm a jerk.

I'm sorry

for saying that.

Let's call it even. I'm too tired to fight back.

Oh, don't look at me that way. It's frustrating.

Don't look at you like what?

I don't know. It's frustrating because I don't know.

I don't know what you want me to do.

[scoffs]

I just want both of us to get a grip and move on.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

Was it tough for you?

When you got treated?

Was it tough?

Mmm-hmm.

[sighs] How much did you drink to be hospitalized?

I can't give you a number, but you can't just keep doing what you do.

-So quit now. -Okay, I will.

-You should too. -Ji-woo.

[clicks tongue, inhales] I've been thinking.

We didn't even date for a whole year.

[inhales sharply]

I don't know.

I guess I was too thin-skinned.

[inhales deeply]

And I couldn't just move on.

I couldn't get over you.

[sighs]

That's all ancient history now.

I'm sorry I got so angry.

[sighs]

-Anyway, did you eat? -Mmm.

[clicks tongue]

-Okay, let's get outta here. -It's fine.

[scoffs]

-Good to see that you're moving on. -[scoffs]

Kyeong-do, you know what?

Back then I was, um...

I was too...

[sentimental music playing]

[sighs] I didn't...

It's not that I was leaving you.

I left you so that I could go and die.

But when I tried to do it, I was so scared.

[inhales deeply]

It felt so surreal.

Seeing you waiting there,

coming home from work.

I know you had your reasons.

Even so,

you shouldn't've just walked out.

I have a favor to ask you.

Don't worry about me, okay?

Sorry about messing with you the last few days.

I think I've finally pulled myself together.

It's not love for us now,

and if I called it friendship, I'd be an asshole.

So I just really want...

the best for you.

See ya.

It's not love for us now,

and if I called it friendship, I'd be an asshole.

Quit drinking.

And quit swearing already.

Seo Ji-woo.

[Hyun-kyeong] I've got an idea.

Time to start learning the ropes.

I booked the ticket again. I'm leaving soon.

You're feeling restless?

You're always packing up and flying off somewhere.

[sighs]

The divorce chaos is all done.

Now you need to decide what the next step is.

Tell me, is my next step gonna be working for the company?

Don't you understand the situation?

I do.

I know it well.

[sighs]

I guess one can't play dumb unless they have the energy for it.

So, am I your insurance?

I don't think I should count on you for that, should I?

No insurance whatsoever.

The illegitimate one. From the affair.

[gasps]

[hesitates] You...

How long have you known? [breathes shakily]

[breathes heavily] When I was 28.

[somber music playing]

I'm not his biological daughter because you had an affair.

Don't you dare!

Oh, so you've been pretending not to know. How disgusting.

Are you kidding? [scoffs]

[sighs] This is crazy.

[breathes heavily]

So, Mom,

I want to know why you think Dad loved me so much then.

I must have been an eyesore after all.

I bet that he felt pity.

Or maybe it's because you made me feel unwanted,

and he felt bad for the girl who'd done nothing wrong.

[breathes shakily]

We'll discuss later.

No, this is the last time I'll see you.

I'm not gonna work for you. Why would I do that?

To help you to honor Dad's wishes and pay me my shares?

No way, that's not happening.

[scoffs]

You used to yell at me not to come back to Korea,

and now you're telling me to work here as if I mattered to you.

I won't be bullied into serving you.

[breathes heavily]

Ji-yeon...

You didn't tell her?

Aren't you going to apologize?

Aren't you?

-How did you know? -Ji-yeon told me.

[breathing shakily]

Are you afraid now?

Are you finally afraid?

[gasps]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[footsteps receding]

[door closes]

[scoffs]

[sobs]

[sobs]

[sighs]

[clicks tongue]

[cell phone vibrating]

SE-YEONG

-What is it? -Hey, Kyeong-do. [pants]

Sorry to wake you.

Ji-woo was pretty upset today, so I came to her place to check in.

Okay?

I can hear the doorbell ringing in there, but she's not opening up.

[doorbell chiming]

Hey, Seo Ji-woo!

Seo Ji-woo!

Ji-woo!

-[sighs] -Call the locksmith, get it open.

Ji-woo, hey!

Hello? Oh, hi.

So I've been locked out of my house. Would you be able to unlock it?

[breathes heavily] Ji-woo!

-Ji-woo! -Hey, Ji-woo. Wake up.

Hey, hey, hey. Ji-woo.

Ji-woo, wake up. Come on. Huh?

Ji-woo, open your eyes!

Seo Ji-woo!

[smacks lips]

[Nam-sook] Honey? Have you seen the watch I bought?

[Han-soo] What watch?

[Nam-sook] You know, the one I bought for you

when I went to Seoraksan Mountain with the ladies.

FULL OF HAPPINESS SEORAKSAN MOUNTAIN

But I don't remember where I put it.

Kyeong-do!

Have you seen this little locket I have? It's small and round, and it's missing.

When you open it, there's a watch inside it.

It's round and little?

Yes. But did you see it?

Do they make them that little?

Jeez. You have to do some reading.

It's the kind of watch from the story The Gift of the Magi.

The one you can put inside the pocket of your suit.

Oh, uh...

Is that where the wife wants the chain so she cuts her hair? That one?

-Besides the point, have you seen it? -No, I haven't.

How strange that is.

So did a burglar come and steal it or what?

[inhales sharply]

[door closes]

[sentimental song playing]

[exclaims]

[chuckles]

[Kyeong-do] Listen, I get it. I know it's tough.

[Ji-woo] Whether I drink or if I take pills,

-it's none of your business. -Hey!

[Jeong-min] But you need to stay away from Ji-woo.

[Kyeong-do groans]

Some people just don't know when to stop. Her and I are those type of people.

Whoa, hey!

[Ji-woo] I keep coming back, over and over,

but you're not here anymore.

The way you're grumpy but still sweet.

That worried look.

I can't seem to get it out of my head.

If you try to stop me again, that tells me you're just as confused.
