Original subtitles

I had a basketball game today.

Were you with Gi-seok?

I was.

Are you still with him?

Yes.

Then I'll hang up.

Why?

Ji-ho...

Don't hang up.

What's gotten into you?

It's nothing urgent.

We can talk later.

Gi-seok, can you drop me off somewhere?

Are you getting off instead of joining us?

What's wrong?

What? Did you get into an argument?

Jeez.

Now I feel like I should apologize

for pushing you to pick up.

What's wrong with him?

Did Ji-ho say where he was going?

Stop calling him and let him be.

-Where did he go? -To see a girl.

-What? -Really?

You said he had someone.

Not really. He said he was trying to end things.

On the contrary. He's burning with passion for her.

Really?

I can't wait to find out about her.

You're going to yell, right?

Let's go somewhere less crowded.

Go ahead.

Should I go first?

"I'm sorry.

I was caught off guard.

How could we keep on talking with Gi-seok next to you?"

You did it to protect me, right?

Why not just put him on the phone?

If you wanted to be bold,

you should've told him it was me.

I can't.

I'm a loser who's too scared to take any risks.

I asked for your help.

I asked you to help me move on.

Why must I do that?

Who am I to care if you're developing feelings for me?

I can barely contain my own heart from exploding.

Why should I care if your heart gets crushed or not?

I come first.

What I want is my priority.

I don't care if you go insane in the process.

Wait, are you leaving?

My girlfriend's pissed. Gi-seok, see you around.

-Bye, guys. -Seriously?

-Whatever. -Fine, get going then.

His girlfriend has a short leash on him.

I'm jealous though.

I'd love to be kept on a leash too.

Then get yourself a girlfriend.

Are you really in a position to hand out advice?

What do you mean?

You're constantly arguing with your girlfriend these days.

Hey, follow me out, will you?

-What's wrong? -I just want to talk.

-Why? -What's wrong?

-What happened? -What's going on?

I was going to let it slide

since I'm older and my girlfriend was mixed up in it,

but how could your friends be so clueless?

Don't they know what's appropriate or not?

How can they walk in to my girlfriend's home?

-Her sister-- -Ji-ho's worse.

He's seeing someone,

so even though he was forced there,

he shouldn't have drunk all night at their place.

Is he that thoughtless?

He's not normally like that.

-No? -No, he's not.

Then we have a bigger problem.

Remember how he...

got wound up on the day we had drinks?

You're saying it meant something.

-Ji-ho was drunk that night-- -Does he...

like my girlfriend?

What?

Unbelievable.

How can you even say such a thing?

-Is that so? -Yes.

You don't know about the woman he's seeing,

so how can you be sure?

The same goes for you.

Did your girlfriend say that Ji-ho likes her?

You know what? You're pissing me off.

I agree that my friends were idiots,

but you make them sound like dirty pigs who hit on random women.

It's disturbing to hear.

Let's forget about it then.

Jeez.

Damn it.

-Have you been drinking? -How could I not?

I've been getting so much shit because of your stupidity.

Is it about that night at Jae-in's house?

I already explained that.

Whatever.

Don't ever go near Gi-seok's girlfriend or her sister again.

What's going on? Did something happen?

Just do as I say!

Tell Ji-ho too.

Also, shouldn't you be busy studying?

No wonder you never pass.

YEONG-JAE

Did something happen?

Hyeon-su's pissed.

Do you just need me to stay hidden?

I know your situation and what you're going through.

I understand, but I still get angry from time to time.

That's what happened today.

Even when I was getting mad at you,

I realized it was wrong.

I like you a lot.

I'm not in a position to fight for you,

but I'm too scared to cut you off.

I feel like

I'm doomed

because my love for you grows bigger by the day.

When you told Gi-seok it was over,

although I said that it wasn't what I wanted,

secretly,

I thought about not being good enough for you.

I started worrying about how you'd soon figure that out.

What a loser, right?

Even though I say you had nothing

to do with my decision to break up with Gi-seok,

no one will believe it.

They'll point fingers at you too.

I don't care about any of that.

To be honest, I'm still not sure.

I don't know what I want

in terms of a boyfriend or a husband.

All I know right now

is that I'm not happy with my current situation.

I know very well that no relationship burns passionately every day

and it's impossible for couples to never hurt each other.

You can call me immature if you want, but I still long for those things.

A relationship that I'm not the only passionate one

and the kind of love

where I don't get hurt.

To be honest, I haven't even thought about

starting something with you.

-I mean-- -I'm not upset.

I understand it all too well.

You must feel stuck.

Overcoming the difficulties and obstacles together?

That's a myth.

Once you become more objective on the matter,

then I'll accept it all without resentment.

What a liar.

If I tell you that it's over

and that we should go back to being strangers,

you'll just accept that?

Right now I will.

After time passes,

if you still feel the same way,

come to me then.

Even if it's when

I'm old and wrinkly?

Yes.

Hello?

Don't turn around.

If you do,

I won't let you leave me.

After many years,

if I come to you then,

will you really accept me?

You'll probably cling on until I do.

Don't fall in love with anyone else until then.

I'm a mean person.

I'm selfish too.

Resent me all you want.

I can handle your resentment.

Just don't fall in love with anyone else.

You're unbelievable.

I said I'm mean.

When I...

finally make my way to you,

I promise to protect you

from all the criticism and judgement.

That's what

I wanted to tell you today.

I won't hurt you anymore,

so promise you'll wait for me.

You can take as long as you want.

Just as long as you come to me.

I'll wait no matter how long it takes.

PHARMACIST

This is nice.

Unbelievable.

Thank you. Please enjoy.

Being jobless is the life, isn't it?

You wake up at noon and mooch off others.

Don't you feel guilty to watch your sister go to work every morning?

I do all the dishes and laundry for her.

You should since you're putting her out.

I'm just saying.

How's Jeong-in these days?

I told you to keep an eye on her.

I have been.

How is her relationship with Gi-seok?

He came over for wine a few days ago.

Really?

How do you think they're doing?

-Well, you know... -Just tell me as it is.

She looked sad.

ARCHIVE RESTRICTED AREA

UNEXPECTEDLY YOU

Are you gloating?

It is an ambitious project full of your ulterior motive.

-Jealous much? -As if.

I hate relationships that only give you headaches.

He said he'll wait for me.

Now that's not something you hear every day.

-Jealous much? -In this case, yes.

Did he say he'll wait unconditionally?

Yes.

You should just say it. I'll have indigestion at this rate.

What if...

you were about to do something that might make everyone turn your back on you?

What would you do?

Move forward

or give up?

The choice will vary depending on what it exactly is.

However, something that is frowned upon by everyone

can't be right.

It means that it's a reckless decision.

Is it the pharmacist?

No.

Why not?

Is there an issue with him?

Of course not.

Does he...

have a girlfriend?

Then what could be the issue?

I'm the one with the issue.

What are you going to do about your boyfriend?

We're going to meet tonight.

Are you going to end it?

Yes.

You must feel awful.

I was going to do it anyway.

Why do relationships always have shitty endings?

Hey, join us.

-Ji-ho. -Hey, you just got here.

Eat a few bites first.

-Let's eat. -How dense are you two?

Ji-ho, you know what I'll say, right?

Your suspicions are correct.

Why?

"Why?"

Hey.

Out of all the women, why did it have to be Gi-seok's girl?

You think I'll lose?

Shut up for a second. Have you been seeing her all this time?

We knew each other...

before Gi-seok introduced her to us.

I asked her out,

but she said she was taken, so we remained as friends.

Men and women can't be friends. Right?

Well, it's not impossible.

So? Are the two of you still just friends?

No, I like her more than just a friend.

What are you saying?

Anyway, okay. That's how you feel. Then what about her?

She feels the same way.

Would a one-sided crush have been better?

No, not really. Right?

Yes. That is true,

but she's...

She's so weird.

Then what is she going to do with her boyfriend?

She's taken. How can she do that?

Hey, I have a kid.

So what will you do now?

Will you steal her from Gi-seok?

Well, I'm just saying.

Ji-ho said Jeong-in likes him more than just a friend as well.

Then she should break up with Gi-seok.

It doesn't matter to me.

What's this nonsense now?

I knew about her boyfriend from the get-go,

so I should've given up back then.

As you guys know, it's not easy for a woman to accept my situation.

It'd be selfish of me to ask her to choose me.

Still, don't you think she needs to make up her mind?

That's what I'm saying.

The fact that I'm in her life is a lot for her to handle.

I don't want to make it harder.

EPISODE 14

Where are you?

Hey, I'm so sorry. It doesn't look like the director will leave anytime soon.

You said you'd just have dinner.

That was the plan,

but other teams joined us, so it's turned into a big thing now.

Let's just meet tomorrow instead, okay?

I'll treat you to a nice dinner.

You have a job,

so I don't want you to think of me as your number one priority.

But whenever anything happens,

you cancel or bail on me first. How am I supposed to interpret it?

Because it's no big deal?

No, it's not that. I guess I do it because you've always been so understanding.

So it's my fault?

Don't twist my words around, okay?

All right, I heard you.

This won't happen again. Are we good now?

Is this the "love" you talked about?

All right, I'll leave now.

I'm tired of going through this over and over again.

You always do things reluctantly and make such a big deal out of them.

Why do I always have to beg you?

Go home and wait for me. I'll be there shortly, okay?

It won't change anything.

-I wanted to say-- -I've made it clear to you.

We can't break up.

That uncertainty is really the only thing that kept us together until now.

I know we should talk in person.

Let's meet up sometime soon. We'll end things in person.

I said we should start over, didn't I?

I told you I'll try harder.

Then you should at least give me some time and see what happens.

If you keep saying you want to break up,

-what can-- -Hey, are you fighting?

Hey, who are you talking to?

Get back inside.

Hey.

Where are you? Are you at home?

No, I'm at the office.

The book club meeting is tomorrow, so I wanted to get things ready.

What's up? Did you and Gi-seok already part ways?

I couldn't see him today. He's out for a team dinner.

Jeez, he's the worst.

Is he avoiding you on purpose?

I don't know.

I'll head out shortly. Where are you going to be?

-Has she been coming over? -No, it's not that.

-Hey, let's go. -What?

-Come on. We should get going. -I have to talk to Ji-ho.

No, you don't. Shut up. Bye.

I don't think your friend is home yet.

She'll be home shortly.

You don't know her door code?

-Have you had dinner yet? -Yes.

-All right, then. -Let's go grab some food.

You said you've eaten.

I'll watch you eat.

But you won't buy me dinner?

I don't have my wallet.

Even if you did, you wouldn't.

Here are your noodles.

Here you go.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

-You can add this seasoning. -Okay, thank you.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

It looks so good.

Can you really eat both?

You're not getting any.

I said I'd watch you eat.

I feel like a monkey in the zoo.

By the way, your friends...

It's okay. I told them briefly.

What did they say?

They're probably more surprised with me.

Were you really going to stay single forever?

I wouldn't say that,

but I never thought about it or made any effort.

What are you thinking?

What? Nothing.

About my story... I'll tell you everything later on.

You really aren't even offering.

Fine, I'll be generous. Just one bite, then.

Stop bringing side dishes.

We rarely eat at home, so we never finish them.

You and Si-hoon are having problems, aren't you?

Shall I ask Si-hoon directly?

We're going to get a divorce.

We don't live together at the moment.

He refuses to sign the divorce papers, so--

Why do you want a divorce?

Never mind.

I have big respect for you for holding out for this long.

I'm sorry.

Well...

What about your job?

Will you have to quit if people find out?

No, not really. But I submitted my letter of resignation.

It hasn't been processed yet though.

It's not like you're failing at your job. Why would you quit?

I want to go back to school.

And I'm thinking of letting Jae-in stay here for the time being.

Jae-in? Why?

Mom. Stay here.

-Si-hoon, my-- -So you are here.

Why didn't you pick up...

-You should've called me-- -Mom.

-Go in the room. -Okay, I'll...

I heard you two don't live together.

That is also a promise, but what the heck is this about?

I have to talk to Seo-in about something.

Then you should be more courteous.

You kept ringing the doorbell and calling as if she deserved to be scolded.

Are you that ill-mannered?

I'm disappointed in you.

Are you sure you want things to work out between the two of you?

If you're going to keep this up, I don't want you two to stay together.

I'll make sure you two get a divorce.

Going down.

Basement, second floor.

The doors are closing.

We can get through this.

I love you.

Thanks for this.

I just realized

that you always thank me for even things like this.

This is so unlike you.

Just be your usual self.

I'm just anxious, I guess.

I admit that I got too comfortable.

I've told you many times,

but I never imagined us breaking up.

Yet you always talked about breaking up?

You know how I am. I have a short fuse.

It's of no use talking about the past.

-Let's-- -I can't agree to it.

-Gi-seok. -Let's try to make things work.

I'll accept it if we can't work it out.

My father wants to see you.

It wasn't me.

You can ask him directly.

He told me to bring you over.

I'll talk to him if you're too uncomfortable.

No, it's okay.

I'll meet him.

Gi-seok.

You don't have to come when I'm meeting your father.

I'd rather meet with him alone.

I'm going to only talk about myself. That's why I'm asking you this.

Let me meet him alone.

All right. Go ahead and meet him without me, then.

It stimulates a bowel movement, so take it before meals.

-I've been taking it, so I'm aware. -I see.

-Have a nice day. -Thank you. You too.

-Have a nice day. -Have a nice day.

-Has it been busy? -No.

The new udon place at the intersection is so good.

I should check it out.

You two should eat together starting tomorrow.

No, people will gossip.

It's not good for Ye-seul.

Why is that?

Well... Other store owners gossip a lot, you know.

Will you not even talk to us

when you get into a relationship?

Jeez, cut it out.

Are you seeing someone?

No, I'm not.

-Hello. -Oh, it's Eun-u!

Eun-u is here.

-Hello. -Hello.

Eun-u, it's so good to see you!

Hello.

You're a big boy now.

Eun-u!

Mom, just eat. He'll come back if he wants more food.

You sound as if you've raised ten kids.

Mom, you were worse.

When I was little, I thought I was a foundling.

I was so strict with you,

but I can't be like that with Eun-u.

Even today, we left the house as soon as he said he wanted to see you.

I know it's not easy for you and Dad.

Don't say that.

If we didn't have Eun-u,

your dad and I would be so bored and listless.

It won't take me long. Hang in there just a little longer.

Stop saying that, please.

About the "teacher" at the library...

I heard it's a woman.

She's just someone I know.

I see.

Well...

There's someone I want to set you up with.

I'm bringing it up just in case you're interested.

If not, don't worry about it.

There's someone I like.

I'm not saying I'll act on it right away.

My gosh.

What's wrong?

I'm just so happy to hear that.

Thank you.

Here.

Eun-u will wonder what's going on.

He always talked as if he'd stay single forever.

How can I not cry?

If he says he's getting married, you'll bawl your eyes out.

Do you think that can happen?

I couldn't ask him anything because I didn't want to jinx it.

Do you think she has a kid too?

Won't it be a little challenging if her kid isn't that young?

Who cares?

As long as the two of them want to be together.

Grandma, I want ice cream.

Oh, okay. Grandpa will buy you ice cream. Let's go.

Off we go.

Be careful.

I'll get going, sir.

Okay, thank you.

Hello?

Hello, this is Lee Jeong-in.

Lee Jeong-in?

Oh, you're Tae-hak's daughter, right?

Yes.

How do you do?

I heard you said you'd like to meet me.

Yes, I did.

Why isn't Gi-seok arranging it?

I'd like to meet you alone.

If you would allow it, I'd like to meet you without Gi-seok.

Sure, let's do that.

Please let me know the time and location that work best for you, and I'll be there.

Then I'll let you know

in a few days.

All right, then. I'll wait to hear from you.

Sounds good.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAM PREP COURSES

Hi.

-Where's your bag? -It's in the study room.

What brings you by this late?

I just parted ways with my friends. Let's hang out.

No, I'm just going to study.

Really?

Okay. Then we'll hang out next time.

Even next time, I'll have to study.

I haven't been studying much, so I'm starting to get a little anxious.

And I'm being a nuisance, aren't I?

Why are you taking it like that?

That's what it sounds like.

All right, then.

I'll stop coming by.

But I'll kill you if you don't pass the exam.

Put some lotion on your face.

Yeong-jae rejected me.

If he doesn't pass the exam,

I'm going to pull all his hair out.

He doesn't want to see you?

No, he doesn't. He said he has to study.

You should dump the pharmacist.

I can't be the only reject.

Jeong-in.

Mom is worried about you.

I'll assure her that I'm fine.

That's okay. He probably wants to focus on studying for the exam.

I wonder if it's because of me.

Yeong-jae isn't the type to blame others and give excuses.

Don't worry about it.

I hope Jae-in's feelings aren't too hurt.

Jae-in knows about you.

I'm sorry. It just happened.

I'm okay with it,

but she must've been very surprised.

Just for a moment.

She's very open-minded, so she understands.

She probably hates me now.

No, she's really not like that.

I told my mom

that there's someone I like.

And what did she say?

What is it?

You can't tell me?

She cried.

She must've been very surprised.

Ji-ho.

It must've been very hard for you.

I told you that I'll go to you without hurting you.

I'll make sure you won't have to sigh.

But I want to make sure you won't have a hard time.

If you don't cause any trouble, I'll be fine.

I'll be good to you.

It goes both ways.

We'll be good to each other.

This feels surreal.

What?

You and I...

are "we" now.

Come in.

We'll have lunch as well,

so pick somewhere quiet.

Yes, don't pick a place that is hard to get to.

Okay, all right.

These are suggestions from the Parents' Association.

By the way, your daughter is quite daring.

She called and asked me to meet up.

-Jeong-in called you? -You didn't know?

No, I didn't. My apologies.

Why are you apologizing?

I mean, if it was about meeting you...

Why didn't she say anything to me?

She wants to meet me alone.

Are you saying

she requested a one-on-one meeting with you?

Yes, she did.

I'm excited to meet her.

-We'll order in a few minutes. -Sure.

Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Jeong-in.

Nice to meet you.

Let's sit down.

-Have a seat. -Okay.

Shall we eat first?

Whatever you prefer.

We're not really here to eat, so let's talk first.

I'm sure you wanted to meet me alone for a reason.

I thought it'd be best to come alone as I'll predominantly be talking about

my personal thoughts and opinions.

I heard you've known Gi-seok for quite a while.

We've been in a relationship for four years.

I know that you don't approve of me.

Yes, I admit that it hurt my self-esteem,

and it upset me as well.

But it's not like we started dating with marriage in mind,

so I never really showed it.

I'll put all this away when I'm done.

So, you want to read dinosaur books. Anything else?

I want to see the teacher.

I told you she's not here today.

Then why are we here?

To read books.

Water. I want water.

Okay, just a second.

Oh, hello.

Jeong-in is off today.

I'm not here to see her.

You're here with your nephew.

Still, you should've come on a day when Jeong-in is here.

-Enjoy your lunch. -You too.

I've heard some things about you,

but you actually seem a lot more upright and straightforward.

I apologize if I came across as rude.

No, not at all.

Being opinionated is a good thing.

I got a sense that even your father is somewhat intimidated by you.

It's a compliment.

Thank you for thinking highly of my father.

What are you trying to say?

I heard that you gave him a great offer.

You've been successfully leading the foundation for years,

so the fact that you chose to hire my father after his retirement

shows that you deeply trust him, right?

Regardless of Gi-seok's relationship with me,

you still made such a decision.

I'm incredibly grateful,

and it taught me the importance of keeping personal feelings separate from work.

Has Jeong-in called at all?

Take this and go somewhere else.

You keep asking me every five minutes. Why are you so antsy?

You're her mom. Aren't you worried at all?

Why should I be worried?

It's not like she did something wrong.

She has a short fuse, you know. I'm worried she might be rude to him.

I mean, she'll speak out.

But she won't be rude or discourteous.

If anything, you'll ruin it all.

If she calls, tell me right away.

UNEXPECTEDLY YOU

It seems like Gi-seok wants to marry you.

Have you two talked about it?

Yes, we have talked about it.

It doesn't sound like you two are on the same page.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I...

don't want to get married.

We need to stop him. He's no match for Gi-seok.

Who can stop him?

Have you seen him giving up when he set his mind to something?

Eun-u isn't me.

I can put up with anything, but not Eun-u.

I won't forgive anyone who hurts my son.

I'm sorry, Gi-seok.

Someone's stealing his girlfriend. He can't think rationally.

I bet he's lost it.

Gi-seok is there? He's probably there to see Ji-ho.

I want to be honest and tell everything.

Can I do that?

Will you keep joking around? Do you think I'm stupid?

I'm telling you the truth. Why are you angry?

I've decided to stop wondering

whether or not I deserve to ask you to be with me.

I'm just going to love you.

I realized Yu Ji-ho loves Lee Jeong-in.
