(Episode 109)

Did Jung Min play this CD?

I'm sorry...

we're celebrating our one-year anniversary a day later.

I cherish all the memories we made together, honey.

I love you.

Let's continue to build even better memories together.

I love you, Ji Eun.

I'm sorry for getting angry at you.

Me too. I'm sorry for getting upset.

Did you go to my dad and talk about me behind by back?

He congratulated me on having our first fight as a married couple.

He told me to make sure...

that the fight never lasts for more than a day.

I was actually trying to figure out how to make you feel better.

But you were kind and generous enough...

to reach out to me first. Thank you.

Thank you for being my husband.

I'm sorry I stood you up yesterday...

on our one-year anniversary.

It's okay.

This is better than eating out.

You know how much I love your food.

You must be hungry.

I'll hurry up and wash.

She's so quick to notice things.

("More Evil Than the Devil")

("Odd Thomas")

Do you remember?

The first meal we had together was sushi.

Come to think of it, we fought that day too.

I purposely tried to mess with your pride...

so I could convince you to translate and interpret for me.

But I only ended up getting scolded.

If you hadn't provoked me that day,

I'd probably still be a housekeeper.

Do you know what it was you said...

that really got to me that day?

What?

Resilience.

"The ability to recover."

You told me I needed to build resilience...

so I could overcome my scars and heal from them.

I said all those stuff to make you fall for me.

Now that I think about it, I really became a big success.

I used to be a housekeeper, and now I'm a CEO.

You worked so hard to get this far.

You deserve it.

I should be grateful for everything I have right now.

Like you said, maybe I really am whining.

You always put up with me,

and I guess that made me throw tantrums like a baby.

You can keep throwing tantrums,

but I was upset when you said you feel burdensome...

and pressured living as my wife.

I know you only said that because you were exhausted.

But still, it made me get angry.

I got worried you might leave me.

I forgot that you're a very sensitive man.

So go easy on me, okay?

No, I'm going to love you ferociously.

Ji Eun.

Love is about building something together...

while making sure you don't lose yourself.

Let's do just that.

Let's build our lives together without losing ourselves.

To our happiness.

Cheers.

Eat up.

You make the best sushi.

She's the person who bought your bar.

This deal is invalid.

She already signed the contract,

and she even paid the down payment.

Why did you buy this place?

This was the only way to make you show up.

Sir, I'll take care of it from now. You can go.

He's my husband who ran away from home.

Anyway, she signed the contract...

and wired the down payment to your bank account.

And I already got my commission.

So you two can take care of the rest.

Husband, my foot. We're pretty much strangers.

Sit down. I have a lot to say.

We haven't met in six months.

Did you eat well?

Did you buy this place and make me come all the way here...

just so you could ask me...

if I ate well?

Why did you buy this place?

I obviously bought it to run the place.

- Who's going to run the place? - You.

Says who?

Says me.

Why are you acting so sly?

I'm trying to seduce you again.

I got divorced.

I'm legally single now,

so it's okay to hit on you.

I won't fall for it.

Time will tell.

Are you really going to run this place?

I get that you paid the down payment,

but what about the rest of the money?

I used the house you bought me as collateral to take out a loan.

What?

This place needs to do well in order for me to pay off my loan.

You're unbelievable.

Why would you take out a loan with that house as collateral...

only to buy my business?

Then it'd be a waste to pay the interest.

What are you doing?

See? I'm dumb.

That's why I need you in my life.

I'll think about it.

You kept me hanging until now.

This time, it's my turn.

What have you been up to?

I was enjoying my life with young and pretty ladies.

Goodness, that's great.

You'll no longer have the privilege to do that from now on,

so I'll just put a lid on it.

You're so unpredictable.

That's why you'll never get tired of me.

Goodness.

If you don't come back home,

I might do something dumb again.

Like what?

I'll sell the house you bought me,

go up to the rooftop, and throw the cash down the street.

Go to the bank right now and cancel the loan.

I was kidding.

Ji Eun lent me the down payment.

My goodness.

Are you going somewhere?

I told you last time...

that I need to go to Jeju Island to play golf.

Must you go?

It's regarding work.

I don't want my clients to lose faith in me.

But this time, it's just to get acquainted.

Why don't you skip it?

You had tons of meetings and worked overtime this week.

Last week, you even went on a business trip outside the city.

You even had to go to the hospital, so I bet you're really exhausted.

This week, you should get some rest.

You know that running a business is all about...

keeping a good relationship with other people.

Maintaining a good connection is really important.

All the client executives will be attending this time,

so I can't miss it.

("Getting Past Your Past")

"Getting Past Your Past"?

Is this book for me?

Well...

Ji Eun.

I don't want you...

to keep hurting yourself.

If we're not blessed with a child,

let's just accept it.

I know you're having a hard time.

You're exhausted due to our constant failure of artificial insemination.

And you keep getting hurt by that.

I can do it. I'm going to get pregnant.

Some things just can't be controlled.

You're all I need.

Jung Min, I want to be confident as your wife.

Why can't you be confident without a baby?

You don't get it because you're not a woman.

It's easy for you to say...

because you're not the one with the problem.

But my situation isn't the same as yours.

Come on. We're married.

We're in the same situation.

It's sweet of you to say that.

But it really doesn't console me.

I'm going to keep getting treatment...

until I get pregnant with our baby no matter how much it drains me.

Okay, fine.

If we must have a baby,

why can't we just adopt?

Adoption is an amazing thing.

But I want your baby, Jung Min.

You like children,

so we can think about adopting...

after we have a baby of our own.

I don't know.

I just think you're being stubborn.

Our happiness is what matters.

Why do you care what other people think?

I'm living with a guy who receives the public's attention.

That's what makes everything so burdensome.

Then what can I do for you?

I'm not asking you to do anything for me.

I'm just stating the facts.

Ji Eun.

Why is it that you always want to have everything your way?

That's why I told you that I'm the problem.

Do you know something?

I find it hard to talk to you every time we talk about children...

because it makes you become so sensitive.

That's why I need to get pregnant.

Hey, Jung Min.

Mr. Seo, why don't you visit these days?

I went there last week.

I think I can go see you tomorrow.

Really? Can't you come right now?

No, it's too late. I'll go tomorrow.

But why aren't you sleeping?

I can't seem to sleep.

My caregiver wants to talk to you.

Jung Min.

Just wait a little bit more.

I'll go see you soon.

You remember what I promised you, right?

I promised you that we'll live...

a happy life with Mr. Seo.

He's sick. I can't leave him there all by himself.

The lady who takes care of him suddenly had to go...

because of something urgent.

And the other caregivers aren't able to take her place.

I should be there for him.

I never told you not to go.

You also agreed to be his guardian until he receives...

his bone marrow transplant and gets adopted.

It's not that I don't regret that.

He's grown on me too.

I don't judge him based on what Seo Eun Ju did to me.

I do feel a lot more relieved...

knowing that Seo Eun Ju actually brought him...

from an orphanage.

I'm also human.

So I would've stopped visiting him if he were her biological son.

What time will you be back?

You're leaving tomorrow morning to play golf.

That means I'll be home alone.

So I think I'm going to spend the night there with Jung Min.

Do as you wish.

Why do I always get so upset at Jung Min?

Were you sleeping?

Yes, what brings you here at this hour?

Mom told me to return your money.

The money she borrowed from you to buy Mr. Kang's bar.

She could've just wired it to me.

You didn't have to come all the way here.

I offered to come here because I actually have...

something to say.

By the way, where's Jung Min? Didn't he come home yet?

He had to go somewhere.

That's actually better.

But what is it that you need to say to me?

Is everything okay with the family?

Ji Eun.

Can I have this money?

For what?

That's too much pocket money.

It's not for pocket money.

I want to use it to start my own business.

How are you going to start your own business?

Dad and I are going to start a publishing company.

I think it'll be fun to make books.

Does Dad know?

Of course not.

Then let's think about it.

This is the first time you've ever been interested in anything.

And it looks like Dad is going to continue writing.

So I actually think it might be a good idea for him...

to run a publishing company even if it's small in size.

Ji Eun, can I sleep over tonight?

I even wrote a business proposal for you.

Then let's hear your presentation.

This is actually good. Jung Min won't be coming home.

Why not?

Did you guys fight?

No.

He went to visit little Jung Min.

I really don't get you guys.

I get that he's not her biological son.

But why do you guys visit him?

You already paid his hospital fees.

That doesn't mean you need to visit him every now and then.

You know how much Jung Min likes kids.

Gosh, how frustrating.

"If you hold up the wand and say the magic spell,"

"you'll end up at a fun place that also smells great."

"Where can I find the wand?"

"The candy that Mom hung up on the tree..."

"looks like a wand."

"I don't know where we will end up."

"Do you think we can really go?"

"That's what it says in the magic book."

"Happy... Happy..."

When is my mom coming back?

You miss your mom a lot, don't you?

Once you get your bone marrow transplant...

and do everything that the doctor tells you to do,

your mom will be back.

I waited every day...

and counted to 100 days.

But I forgot the numbers after that.

You know how to count to 100?

Sometimes, I can. But sometimes, I can't.

Then why don't we count to 100 together?

Okay.

Ready, go.

- 1. - 1.

- 2. - 2.

- 3. - 3.

- 4. - 4.

- 5. - 5.

- 6. - 6.

I forgot to call you yesterday...

because I was too busy with the art exhibition.

You were going to call me?

Why?

I thought you might want to know...

what Mr. Kim and I talked about over the dumpling soup.

I'm not curious.

If you're not curious,

why did you come so early in the morning for coffee?

I'm sure you didn't come because you missed me.

Hey, it's the weekend, I don't sleep in,

and I got bored.

And it's fun to be around you since you're always so feisty.

It increases my endorphins.

Then why don't you buy some of the paintings?

Why? Is the gallery not doing well?

So many things happened,

so it'd be weird if things still went well.

I see.

So what? You're just going to shut the place down?

We've been losing money for a while now.

I'm thinking about shutting the place down.

Are you going to get married?

You must really like Mr. Km.

What are you talking about?

I'm too old to like anyone.

What does your age have anything to do with that?

And nothing's too late in life.

I'm thinking about going to France to study art.

It's always been my dream to become a painter.

And dreams exist so you can achieve them.

So I started to think that maybe I should give it a shot.

Myung Hwa, you really are full of passion.

You had to endure and go through so many hardships.

Then you almost died...

because of that psycho, Seo Eun Ju.

But you're still full of energy,

and you're even open to start something new even at that age.

I really admire that about you.

I'm not being sarcastic.

I know that you're someone who cares a lot.

But of course, that only applies to the people you like.

Thank you...

for getting rid of the grudge you had against my late brother.

You told me...

that blood needs to be washed away by water, not blood.

I regret...

having wasted my life in resentment.

You're still young and beautiful.

It's not too late to start a new life.

It's not too late for you to fall in love either.

Why? What did Mr. Kim say?

I heard you told him not to hit on you...

if he's going to be vague.

That's because I don't want to get fooled by him at this age.

I think Mr. Kim's nervous...

that you might turn him down.

A man should know how to lead a woman.

You're not an ordinary woman.

You know you can be difficult to please.

When you're with the man you like, you should act a bit more feminine.

Stop being so hard on him, and start acting cute.

I stopped acting cute long ago.

I don't even remember how.

You're the only person who can make yourself happy.

Only you can make yourself happy.

I hope you'll try to find your own happiness.

You've made enough money.

Please.

You want me to lie to your mother?

What if she finds out that we don't ever plan on getting married?

Why don't you just come clean...

and tell your parents that you never want to get married?

What? If I say that, my dad will kill me.

No way.

Are you not helping me because you want to marry me?

My gosh, you're unbelievable. Do you want to know the truth?

What?

If I meet your mother and introduce myself to her,

she'll expect us to get married.

If she asks for my number, I'll have to give it to her.

What if she thinks of me as her future daughter-in-law...

and calls me really often?

Don't worry. I'll make sure she doesn't do that.

I don't think you have the guts to talk back to your parents.

You're right.

I can deal with my mom, but my dad's really scary.

Why are you so against getting married?

It doesn't seem like it's because you want to have fun.

Well, you see...

My mom had to take care of her mother-in-law,

help my dad's siblings study, and she even married them off.

She sacrificed her entire life doing that,

and she wasn't happy.

I hated my dad for making her suffer so much,

but it's weird how you take after the traits that you hate.

As I grew older, I started becoming more and more like my dad.

He's so stingy and fussy.

Why did I have to take after...

Anyway,

I don't want to get married...

because I don't want to take away a woman's freedom.

I guess I have no choice.

You already set an appointment, so I can't meet her empty-handed.

What do you think? Will this look nice on your mother?

Good choice.

I'd like to buy this.

Why are you paying?

Gosh.

You taught me how to do stocks,

and it's sweet of you to be so considerate of your mother.

I hope my mom doesn't like you.

Yes.

I went all the way to the airport,

but I really wasn't feeling well, so I came back home.

I promise I'll play golf with you guys next time.

Okay, bye.

I didn't see Jung Min's shoes by the entrance.

Maybe he came home and took a nap...

because he stayed up all night at the hospital.

(Phoenix 2020)

I thought you were dead.

Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?

Why are you doing this to me?

Because I want you gone.

When did you come back from the States?

I came straight from the airport.

Is Mr. Jang doing well?

I'd like some space for a while.

I'll contact you once I'm done organizing my thoughts.

Once Lee Ji Eun disappears,

your life will become a lot more comfortable.

I know that I'm the one you need in your life.
