Because This Is My First Life

Oh, Mom, why are you calling so late at night?

What?

Really?

- Oh, you came. Good.
- Not yet?

It's very cold out, huh? They've been in there for a long time.

I think they will come out soon.

Oh, goodness.

Patient Lee In Seol's child was born.

Aigoo.

So happy to meet you.

It is really so nice to meet you.

So it was you.

You worked hard to come here.

He's a son. Yes, a son.

Father, your eyes...

Why...?

What is this?

Are you crying, Honey?

What are you saying?

Who is crying?

Such useless words...

My mom became a grandma.

Yes.

I became a grandma.

I think it is such a good thing

getting a new family member.

It is a good thing, of course.

It is the biggest gift in the world.

Mom,

I'm getting a divorce.

I think we took that gift too lightly,

both he and I.

Why won't you say anything?

Is there any need for me to say anything?

You never change your mind after you make a decision.

You have the hardest time before making a decision

and you also have the hardest time after making that decision.

So what would I have to say to you?

Mom.

Mom,

why didn't you divorce Dad, back then?

When I was 10 years old

you left Dad and moved to your parents' house,

taking us both with you.

You remember that?

Your dad and I,

we got married despite fierce opposition from both our families. You didn't know that did you?

Like Romeo and Juliet.

What?

Really?

We were so passionate.

Your dad and I both, we threw fits saying we couldn't live without each other.

So after all that difficulty, we finally married.

But after living together for a while

I even thought about splitting up with him.

Then why didn't you do it?

I had decided to divorce him, then watched your father as he slept.

Then suddenly, the thoughts of our dating days kept coming to me.

"Oh, if I split up with him now,

I would live the rest of my life longing for him."

I knew that I would keep him in a small corner in my heart

and intensely long for him, this man.

And once I had that thought

I just decided to live together with him, again.

Ji Ho, a person's life is similar to most others, in the end.

It's all quite ordinary.

However, they just have to take good care

of their 'star pockets,' that is what is important.

Star pockets?

Even in an ordinary life

there are times when something sparkly floats by.

At those times, you have to not miss it,

and keep it carefully in your star pocket.

So when you are having a tough time later,

and when you are exhausted, you can take out and look at your stars

and endure the hard times.

So...

Because I don't want to miss my star

I am getting divorced.

In my star pocket, twinkle twinkle,

I want to fill it up.

You're talking crap.

You better not breathe a single word to your dad

that you are divorcing.

He will shave your head bald, and you will be shoved into the newborns' room.

Then when do I tell him?

How is that my problem?

You figure it out.

You damned brat, you dare to speak of divorce?

It hurt.

That family was a gift,

those beautiful words spoken by my mom

felt like punishment to me.

Marriage is

a sparking, shiny thing.

Come on, Ji Ho's Dad.

Get up, let's go.

- Oh, you're here?
- Get up now.
- Hold on.

What are you doing?

Marriage is...

I told you to sleep in the car.

even if you hate him, just once more

turning around to look back at him.

We, who thought of marriage too lightly,

we...

Two Year Tenancy Marriage Contract

...I felt shame, for the first time.

Shall we shake hands once?

I wish you luck.

For both of us

this is the first time to divorce.

Yes.

I wish you luck as well.

Ji Ho.

Our relationship, which began with a handshake,

it was right to end it with a handshake, I thought.

Our first half was marriage

but I wanted our second half to be love.

Last Episode: Because This Life is Our First

Thank you.

My phone's out of battery. Do you guys have a charger?

I'll bring it to you later.

Deputy Park.

Whoa, CEO Ma. It's been a while.

Have you been well?

Of course.

What happened to your nose?

Oh, this? I was drunk and fell down on my way home.

Aigoo.

Oh, the elevator is here. Let's go.

Oh, that's right. I heard you secured investment.

Oh, congratulations, CEO Ma.

Oh, yes, thank you.

But . . .

I don't see Deputy Woo.

- Deputy Woo?
- Yes.

She left the company. Didn't you know?

Ah, I see.

Yes. This is why I hate working with women.

They just work briefly before they get married.

Would they understand the responsibilities of being the head of a family?

So cold.

Deputy Park, it's been such a long time. How about having a smoke with me?

Shall I? You guys go ahead, I'll be there soon.

You're not smoking?

No, I quit.

Smoking never really suited me.

Oh, is that right?

But if you don't smoke, your social life will be disadvantaged.

You won't have as many chances to have conversations.

What sort of conversations? What disadvantage?

You mean not being able to join in silly conversations men have while smoking with each other? Is that what you mean?

I know about that. Pretending to be a strong, alpha male and using sexual innuendos,

it makes you feel like you are strong, and as if your existence is being validated.

But shouldn't that end when you're in eighth grade?

No, eighth-graders these days don't engage in such silliness.

Kids are so smart these days.

they understand well what shabby behavior is.

What the heck are you talking about?

What's up!

This is my girlfriend. Want to say hi?

You are out here early.

Yeah.

I was having some deep conversation with Jin Ho here.

Isn't that right?

Oh yeah?

It's been a while, Jin Ho.

You got fatter.

No, he lost some weight, actually.

Jin Ho, I am three years older than you.

Be well, and see you around.

We're going.

Bye.

So these are all no-wire bras, right?

Yes, they are all push-up mold.

Can I have a fitting for these?

Yes, of course. This way, please.

Yes.

Work hard.

Oh, you're working so hard when it's so cold today. My name is Ma Sang Goo.

It's nice to meet you.

Wow, you've worked out a lot. Fighting!

Oh, the sample research is finally over. You've worked hard.

But there is still so much to do.

I have to prepare the online homepage.

I also have to look at the sample fabrics with the designer.

Take care.

Okay, you've worked hard.

Oh, and make sure you don't skip meals.

Freelancers work on the fuel of food, you know.

Oi!

Oppa.

What?

Want to come up and have ramyun?

Oh, oh!

I am no longer someone who is so easily fooled.

Really?

Yes. Get in.

Awesome!

Ahhh!

There still isn't anyone who has cometo see this room.

When someone rents it, I will contact you right away.

Yes, Ahjumma.

Aigoo, what happened to you these past few months that your face looks so terrible?

Go back home, eat your mom's home cooking, and look pretty again, okay?

I'll be going.

Yes, see you.

Goodbye.

So you lived here for about three years, right?

Yes.

Goodness, you kept the place so neat.

You will not find a better two-room place. Come this way.

Oh.

This smaller room, you can use as a closet, and later, you can make it the child's room.

This is quite a pleasant room. Nice big window, and you can get fresh air.

That's right, you won't find a better place. Take a look at this now.

Honey.

Oh, I'm coming.

We enjoyed seeing your place.

Thank you, I'll be in touch.

♫ Those futures I had written down, some time ago ♫

♫ They have come to a stop, at that time, and remained there ♫

♫ They have come to a stop, at that time, and remained there ♫

Oh, they lost. They lost.

♫ Sometimes I long for my younger self ♫

♫ If I could go back to that day ♫

♫ Maybe I can smile ♫

♫ Repeating the same time over and over again ♫

♫ I have become used to it, I don't know when ♫

♫ And that is how time is passing by ♫

♫ Just like today, I endure another day ♫

♫ But another day keeps coming, so I continue to live ♫

Dear Se Hee,

Did you enjoy watching soccer today, too?

Is Kitty doing well?

When you find this letter, Se Hee,

I wonder when that will be.

It will probably be after I left

and you come into this room, right?

To be honest, there was one time I went into your room.

At that time, the poetry book that you liked

I saw it there.

And that CEO Go

was the owner of that poetry book,

I know that, too.

I am sorry.

Se Hee,

Mongolians,

when someone dies, they do not bury

or cremate the corpse, they say.
The Last Jurchens on Earth

Instead, they carry the corpse in a cart

and in a place they do not know

they just drop it and leave it there.

And they later go back to the same place

and look at the corpse.

If the body is intact, they are aggrieved,

and if only the white bones are left, they rejoice as they return.

Me...

When I leave this room and return,

what will be left in my heart?

I've become curious about it.

What is going on? Asking to eat with me of all people.

You and I are the only ones

who are taking a day off from work.

Oh, I see.

But I heard that you don't like to eat out.

I don't want

to eat at home,

alone.

Yes, affection borne of food is a very scary thing.

Ah, I heard that you put your home up for sale.

Yes. I think

the transaction will be complete soon.

Where do you plan to move to?

Did you find another place?

Well,

I'm sure there's a room somewhere. As long as it is not that house

I don't care

where it is.

Oh, that isn't cooked yet.

Who cares?

As long as it fills my belly.

But where did Ji Ho go traveling?

Um,

are you going somewhere far away?

I think

I probably will.

So did she really go somewhere very far?

Yes.

I think she went to Mongolia.

Mongolia?

Wow, you are intense, Yoon Ji Ho. You went to Mongolia?

Here. Right here.

Will you be all right?

Of course, don't you know my head? Come on! Come on!

I will really slam it hard.

Come at me already.

I am really gonna do it.

Come on!

Oh, that really hurt.

It's been a long time since we hung out like this, huh?

I know, I'm happy too.

But you said you were going on a trip. Can you really play with me like this every day?

It's been awhile since you had some time off, you should at least go to Jejudo or something.

Hey, I'm a girl from the ocean.

You want me to take a trip to see the ocean?

Yeah, what's so great about taking a trip, anyway? As long as you are happy and content, right?

How is the guest house? Not uncomfortable?

Yeah, it's fun.

I have many foreign friends, and although the room is shared with many people, so I can't sleep well sometimes,

it's fine. It kind of feels like a trip, so it's nice.

Ji Ho.

Until you get your own place, do you want to live at my old rooftop apartment?

There...

Won Seok moved out. He's going to move in with his parents.

That's good. He probably won't cook much for himself anyway.

There is still a lot of time left on the lease, and I don't need the security deposit right away.

So if you're okay, you can live there for a while.

Let's have ramyun!

Yes, yes, yes!

Ta-da!

That I would get to eat ramyun that Woo Soo Ji made for me,

I feel like I have succeeded at life. Thank you. I will enjoy it.

Is it good?

It is so good. It is astounding.

Ah, kimchi.

Why is the ramyun raw?

It's hard to make bad ramyun.

Try eating it with this, it will taste good.

What's this?

Wow, there is even kimchi!

Ah, you said Se Hee put his place up for sale? Where is he going to live?

I don't know either. Even I haven't seen Se Hee in a while.

He's using the paid leave he's accrued. I think he's going to use all 20 days at once.

The whole company is on the verge of death thanks to Nam Se Hee.

What the heck is he doing, anyway?

Eat up, quickly.

You try it too.

No, you eat it.

- Oh, it's tasty!
- Isn't it?

It's breaking off.

Sanchez scored a goal again.

Wow, he sure scores often.

In was a perfect goal in joint with Sanchez.

A good play between Sanchez and Girouad.

Woori. Did you put that collar on yourself?

Or did your noona (older sister) put it on you?

Your noona, she was going to leave us.

So why did she bother putting that on you, anyway?

What was her reason, did she tell you?

Do you know what's going on in your noona's heart?

Yes, Sanchez chased after him and stole the ball.

- Hey!
-Hey!

- Hello.
- Oh, hello!

To the center, shoot!

Hi, Ji Ho.

Oh, hi Nancy!

You're watching soccer today again?

Yes.

It's important game.

But why do you like watching soccer so much? Isn't it a bit boring to just watch?

Boring?

No.

Ah, so…

"It's not important just to watch."

No wait. I need to use a relative pronoun, don't I?

"What you are..." No, that's not right. So what I mean is,

With soccer, it's not watching that's important.

It's who you watch it with that's important.

Goal!

Oh, daebak!

Depending on who you're watching it with

that day's match becomes memorable.

I totally have no idea what you're talking about.

I know.

This is the negative result of high school English in Korea.

How nice would it be if you learned some Korean?

Anyway, what are you doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow? I will make cake. I'm going to make a cake.

For who?

Hmm, to my ex-husband.

Pardon?

Goodnight, Nancy.

I'm going to sleep.

Then let's begin with the batter.

♫ Thinking of you ♫

♫ I smile quietly ♫

♫ No one ♫

Let's put our hearts into it, for the person we want to give this gift to.

Thanks, memory, or perhaps a confession of love. Oh!

Wow, it's so pretty!

You did a great job making a raccoon.

So pretty.

If you lose here, you will treat all of us to tomorrow's late night snack. No backsies!

- It's a deal.
- It's a deal.
- Fighting!

- Won Seok-nim, you are ready, right?
- Yes.

Three! Two! One!

Start!

Move. Move. Why are you there?!

You really suck at this game.

- What did you say?
- Left, go left.

Step on it!

Oh! Chief Nam!

- Hello.
- Hello.

It's quite small. Won't you be uncomfortable?

All I need to do in my house is eat and sleep.

What is there to be uncomfortable about?

It's not as if I can take it with me when I die.

You're not intending to quit your job at this company, are you?

I still have more paid leave left.

So I won't quit, yet.

What is this?

This room layout that feels weirdly familiar?

Oh, Won Seok left some of his things behind.

What is this?

Why is this so comfortable?

Like it's my own bed?

Rang, I moved into the rooftop apartment.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ho Rang, I saw the calendar

and next year's Independence Movement Day (March 1) is a Thursday.

So if I get days off on Friday and the Monday and Tuesday after,

I think a trip to Bali will be good.

Ah, so you're going to Bali?

Yes, it's perfect for a honeymoon.

Ho Rang, go to Bali with me next year.

Won Seok-nim, thank you.

I will take care of your place and move out later.
- Looks like he's moved in.

Aren't you leaving work?

I will, soon.

The video recording of the game that you played earlier,

turn it on.

It's on.

Look at this.

Your start is faster, but you let your opponent mess with your mind,

and you lost your pace.

- Do you see it?
- Yeah.

It better to just let the opponent pass you in the beginning and use a last minute spurt to pass them.

That's true, I could do that.

As expected, using your data analyst skills.

My favorite thing is talking about are games, formulas,

and game formulas.

Really? I'm also like that.

So, I was thinking.

Yeah?

If you have time,

Yes?

shall you and I date?

Yes.

Yes. Yes?!

You did well.

Who are you?

Huh?

That's the question I want to ask you.

Who are you?

Ah, I just moved in here. This is my home now.

Huh?

So he sold his place?

Mr. Left-brain-loan and Right-brain-cat?

But why?

Where did he go?

Where did you go?

♫ Please stay still, without a sound, just like this ♫

♫ As if we just happened to be together by coincidence ♫

♫ Not even any scent remains ♫

Wife

♫ But your image lingers on ♫

You couldn't be connected with the caller. After the beep...

♫ Stay with me ♫

♫ Come with me ♫

Today is Our Day 1!

We were going to become a real "us" starting today.

To make this day our Day One, I wanted to confess to you first.

Looks like that's out the window now.

Woori,

he won't even answer the phone.

Where is he? This man?

After leaving that room and walking around Seoul for several months

what would be left in my heart?

Be well. Go back and live your life like nothing happened. Don't ever love someone again. You have no right to.

I really wanted to find out.

Shall we sleep together

again today?

No, not today...

To be honest, I hated him a little, too.

Marriage that people enter into because of love must be happy, right?

And I hurt a lot, too.

So that we can endure the dark night sky together...

a star pocket that belongs to only us...

From now on, I want to

terminate our contract.

... Did it exist for us, at all?

I was curious.

No, to be honest,

I was doubtful.

But when I looked back, what remained in my heart

was not hate nor hurt, but

10/31 She is an excellent cook... snores... met with the CEO of a production company 11/16 She asked to end the contract.

just longing.

Just missing him.

My star pocket is so full now,

but where is this man?

Hmm, Ji Ho.

Ji Ho. I heard you went to the rooftop apartment.

Perhaps, did you meet him?

♫ Let me briefly borrow your warm shoulder ♫

♫ Please be a shelter for my tired soul ♫

Woori.

♫ Let me briefly ♫

Have you been well?

♫ Leave my wounded heart in your care ♫

How did you end up here?

You carried your hyung (older brother) here on your back, huh? Riding a taxi?

♫ In the midst of the morning fog, it stopped ♫

♫ In the small hand that had disappeared in the light ♫

♫ But the small flower petal that is blooming again ♫

♫ Shall we go looking for the morning sun? ♫

♫ Let me briefly borrow your warm shoulder ♫

♫ Let me briefly borrow your warm shoulder ♫

♫ Please be a shelter for my tired soul ♫

♫ Please be a shelter for my tired soul ♫

Ji Ho...

I dreamt of Ji Ho's bag before,

and now my Ji Ho came into my dream. (casual speech)

You must have missed me a lot (casual speech)

that I would appear in your dream.

Now you even talk.

Did you have a nice trip to Mongolia?

Mongolia?

Mongolia. Did you enjoy it there, while leaving me behind here?

Did you have fun while leaving me here alone?

No.

It was no fun at all.

Because I missed you so much.

I longed for you every day.

How funny.

I love you.

What?

I love you

very much.

♫ The night that I cried ♫

You are

so bad.

♫ I could not find ♫

You're not going to be by my side.

♫ remember ♫

When I wake up, you won't be there,

so how can you say that you love me?

You're a bad person, Ji Ho.

♫ your warmth ♫

♫ is the most comforting thing to me ♫

I'm sorry.

I promise I won't go anywhere anymore.

♫ I can cry ♫

I'm sorry.

How can a dream be so sad?

♫ That dream that does not disappear ♫

But still,

this is nice.

It's good to see you, even like this, Ji Ho.

Even if it's just a dream

I'm happy.

Ji Ho.

♫ The dark night sky ♫

♫ by your side ♫

♫ The love that drew me there ♫

Perhaps, did you make this tea, Woori?

The citron tea.

It looks like I am suffering from alcohol-induced dementia, after all.

Maybe that's a good thing.

You're up? (formal speech)

You're drinking as soon as you wake up? Doesn't your stomach hurt?

Let's eat breakfast.

Come and shower. You smell.

What is this, Ji Ho?

Huh?

Can you really swallow that marinated crab right now?

Why not? Oh, is it too heavy for breakfast?

Marinated crab?

That's not what I mean, obviously.

Then what is it?

Why can't I swallow marinated crab?

Didn't we get divorced?

This situation is quite strange.

We divorced, and you disappeared, saying you were going to Mongolia.

And then you appear like this suddenly

and are eating marinated crab.

This situation is quite complicated for me.

Then shall I

leave?

All right.

I'll go, then.

You know that is not what I mean. (casual speech)

Where did you go? Where were you?

Insa-dong.

In... sadong?

Are you angry?

No. (formal speech)

Is that true?

You're really not mad?

No, I am not angry.

No, you are angry.

I am not angry, I said.

Insa-dong? When you were there, how could you not contact me, even once?

You were so nearby, and you never came to see me, even once?

I missed you so much.

I suffered... so much.

You're smiling?

Why are you smiling? After driving someone crazy

and you even made me sell my house, and you can smile right now?

Se Hee got angry.

For the first time, you said these things to me.

"I missed you so much."

"I suffered so much."

You told me how you felt

for the first time ever, Se Hee.

Thank you.

Thank you for opening your Room 19.

I'm sorry for leaving when you were suffering. (casual speech)

Shall I hug you?

I don't know.

What do you mean? I'll give you a hug.

Stop it, what are you doing?

- Why not? Let's have a hug.
- No, don't come close.

- Oh, come on, come here.
- Oh really...

I told you to not come closer, didn't I?

Do you need to eat more breakfast?

I don't need to eat more breakfast.

♫ Even if I don't want to love ♫

♫ When you are before me ♫

♫ I want to hold your hand, and whatever happens,
I'm happy ♫

♫ You make me want to love ♫

♫ You make me want to love ♫

This is the result of my analysis of our compatibility as a couple.

You know that a numerically perfect match such as this is not easy to find, right?

I will wait for your wise decision.

Did you make up your mind?

Yeah.

Bo Mi-nim.

You are like a Mac OS to me.

New, fascinating, and user-friendly, so you're comfortable. That is how you are like, to me.

However,

even though things can be inconvenient and annoying,

I would still prefer Windows.

My head knows that the Mac OS would be the best for me,

but even though I know that, my heart and hands

still remember Windows.

I'm sorry, Bo Mi-nim.

Okay. I get it.

Of all the rejections I've heard, this is the most romantic.

Ah, is that so?

Thank you.

However, how long are you planning to be chained by that outdated operating system?

Shouldn't you also update your Windows?

I heard that Mr. Accountant will propose tomorrow.

So please "update" before you get "formatted."

So you knew about this already, Bomi-nim?

From today on, today's our day 1!

Se Hee,

Se Hee?

Get up already.

We should eat dinner.

Can't we sleep just a little more?

These days I haven't been sleeping well.

But still, eat dinner and then sleep again, okay?

Shall I make omurice for you again?

Let's order fried chicken.

It's nice.

Yeah, very.

I heard you didn't sign the contract…

from CEO Go.

Yeah.

I was wondering if you gave up on a good opportunity because of me.

Why does everyone think that

because of them, I decided to give up something?

CEO also thought that.

I don't give up that easily

since I am an unlucky kid born in 1988.

Chances are precious and hard to get,

so I do not give up anything that easily.

Of all those chances, there is also love.

Both CEO and your dad helped me

realize what I can't give up on.

I just couldn't give up on love.

So, rather than me giving up this chance,

I chose love as my priority.

Experiencing what real love is,

in this era that I live in,

it's very difficult to do it properly, even once.

Therefore, if marriage will harm our love,

then I do not plan to make that choice again.

What do you think, Se Hee?

I...

don't want to be separated from you ever again.

Also, I want to be your

legal guardian,

so if anything dangerous were to happen,

I could be the first one to run to you.

However, that marriage is an institution that can change love,

I agree with that, in general.

The traditions and rules set by our parents' generation,

I no longer want them to harm our feelings in the future.

From now on, let's you and I together

find an alternative that works for us.

Okay.

But wait. Did you and CEO Go meet with each other, alone?

When? Where?

Uhm... You see... About that...

I got a call from her first.

- She called you first?
- Yes.

But that CEO is a bit strange. How can she just call someone else's man like that whenever she wants?

I-I know, right?

Should I change it? My phone number?

No thanks.

The chicken is getting cold.

Yeah, Ji Ho?

District office? Why are you going there?

I think I should throw away that sofa.

The landlady gave me a call.

You're right. Wow, there's a lot of mold on the sofa.

It also has a bunch of scratches here and there, too.

Right?

I'll go report it as bulk waste and then come get it later.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Okay.

I heard from the attorney.

Congratulations on taking your first step as a 'striker.'

Also, you will be getting a call from another production company soon.

With a pure fan's heart, I promoted your work.

Please write what is in your heart, Writer.

My Man ♥

- It's been a while, CEO Ma.
- Yeah.

Oh?! Just who do we have here?

Our Chief Nam, who is finally coming to work after fifteen days off?

I thought that you had left this company, so I was planning to get rid of this desk.

However everyone, Nam Se Hee finally came to work on his own two feet.

I missed your

gags, CEO Ma.

Mine ♥

Mine? Hey, your phone must've been switched with someone else's on the bus.

- Yeah?
- "Yeah?"

- Did you get to work okay?
- Yeah.

I did.

Are you going to perhaps be late later?

I have to help Ho Rang throw away her sofa,

but it's not something we two can do alone.

Ah...

Just leave it. I'll take care of it.

Is that so?

Me too.

Did you unplug this?

So I prepared this...
Marriage Proposal Project

I'm also planning on buying a house together on our 4th year anniversary.

Marriage is life's biggest project, after all.

So in order to not fail,

we have to slowly prepare ourselves, step by step.

Yeong Hyo, I'm sorry.

I can't accept your feelings.

Honestly, I came here to tell you that today.

I can't say I'm completely surprised.

I'm sorry.

Is it okay

if I ask the reason?

The real reason.

I think only then can I have real closure.

This is the ring someone gave me when he proposed.

Honestly, all this time, I still carried this around with me.

When I was dating you,

I also tried my best to give you

my heart.

However,

it turns out one's heart isn't something you can work for.

It just comes.

That's a great phrase.

That's something I can "real(ly)" agree with.

Agree?

Of course!

Ho Rang

It's been a while, Won Seok.

You finally came to work.

Is it manageable to be living in that one-room place?

Yes, it is very great.

I never imagined that a one-room place like that could be such an ideal living space.

That is good to hear.

Se Hee, by any chance,

did Rang go there, or anything like that?

How did you know?

She's supposed to be coming over today.

What? Rang?

Yes.

She went to the district office and filed some documents

and she plans to finalize things at the rooftop place.

File something at the district office? What is she finalizing?

- Ah, it's a sof—
- Is it a marriage registration by any chance?

What?

I think that must be the case.

A woman in her early 30s, filing documents at the district office.

I can't imagine she would have any other reason than that.

Marriage registration.

Ah, speaking of which, I saw her with our company's accountant earlier in the cafe by our company.

Ho Rang.

The cafe by our company? Please let them know I am taking a half-day off.

Yes.

♫ You are my everything Stay by me every day ♫

♫ I'm falling in love, won't you be my one love? ♫

Thank you. Stay healthy and

- meet a good person.
- Yes.

You must also succeed on marrying someone you love.

You must!

Yes.

♫ I'm in (love you, love you, love you) love with you every day ♫

How are you here?

I can't do this.

- What do you mean?
- I can't give up.

I can't give up. I won't do it.

Oh. But it's useless now, anyway.

It's already too old.

And it's got wounds here and there so it's not possible to revive it.

No. It's because it's old,

because it's got wounds,

so it should be that much more cherished and looked after.

Huh?

Rang, I did wrong.

From now on, I will cherish more and put in more effort,

so I will make it look like it did before.

- Why are you crying?
- So Ho Rang...

So could you give me just one more chance?

Please.

Alright then.

You take it then, if you want it so badly.

What's this?

Large Item Disposal Report
Three-seat sofa

I didn't know it was the sofa.

Why did you think I accepted another ring?

How could I

accept any other ring?

How could I take off this ring?

When this ring means so much.

In this life, when it comes to rings, this one

is plenty.

So Won Seok.

Will you

marry me, please?

I was going to say it first.

Silly. Don't cry, or your makeup will be all erased.

♫ For a long time ♫

You don't cry instead.

♫ I'm changing little by little ♫

Why is your face looking like this? It makes me upset.

Where do we go for our newlywed home? We shouldn't have moved out of the rooftop apartment, maybe?

Oh. We don't need a newlywed home.

We'll move in with your parents.

My mom and dad's?

- Yup.
- That's a bit...

Why? I don't want to see you getting loaded with house chores.

Get your head together!

We should be grateful they will take us in at our state.

I already talked to your mother so don't try to say otherwise.

Already? With my mom?

Let's discuss our plan since we're on the topic.

♫ Is there? ♫

Look.
Marriage Project: Preparing for wedding, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6-20 years, After Retirement

- What is this?
- Our marriage development five-year plan.

According to sociologist Gary Becker,

the benefit of living in a marriage

Did you receive my e-mail?
needs to be bigger than living alone

I will be there. Okay, see you soon.
in order for people to marry, he said.

- You're here, our baby.
- Oppa!

Yup, put on the seat belt.

It's so cold.

Nice style today. Kind Ms. Woo Soo Ji (parody of movie title, "Lady Vengeance" aka "Kind Ms. Geum Ja" in Korean.)

Now, let's go!

What? You're leaving for a business trip tomorrow?

Surprise!

I was going to do that so I kept it a secret. Hong Kong. Three o'clock flight.

What? You're on the same flight as me.

Crazy, right? What is your seat number?

Let's go and switch our seats so we can go next to each other, okay?

Of course. I'm almost near the very front. EA. Oppa?

EA up very front. Oh, I see.

I'm on the wing side.

So not in the business class then.

Of course. Compared to our CEO Woo who's bringing in five million dollars in annual sales,

I can't match you.

Plus I've always preferred the wing side anyway. When I eat chicken, I only eat chicken wings too.

Whuang!

Let's go.

- Oppa.
- Yes?

Should we use our mileages together?

My mileage. It'd be nice for you to use them too for business trips.

You can upgrade your seat too.

Oh. That would be super great for me, of course.

But I think that's only allowed between family members.

Oh, right?

Then should we just do it? Get married?

- Do what?
- Why? You don't want to?

Why wouldn't I want to? I'd love to.

But you disliked the institution of marriage.

And how can we get married over stuff like mileage?

Stuff like mileage?

For the past few years, in order to save hotel costs,

I slept like a homeless person in the airport seats in order to save up this mileage. It's like gold to me.

Did you think I just easily came up with the idea of sharing that mileage with you?

How much I must love you to have that thought!

- Soo Ji.
- Forget it!

I think it's only me who gets the short end of the stick.

Not getting married!

And to think I even brought our son today. You poopy head!

♫ When we are together I smile without knowing ♫

♫ And at times evading your eyes ♫

♫ I think I have fallen ♫

Honey (spouse)! Let's go together. Forever!

However, Writer Goethe said,

there is nothing like marriage

that one's essential happiness hangs by.

Goethe said this.

Married life

is the beginning of dating.

♫ Will you tell me if you are waiting ♫

♫ I'm in (love you, love you, love you) love with you every day ♫

Here.

All done writing? (casual speech)

Nope. Not yet. (casual speech)

I'll just watch the broadcast and I'll have to stay up all night again later.

Hmm.

Do you want a beer?

We registered our marriage three years ago.

Along with registering our marriage,

we rewrote our contract, too.

As we both paid half the lease, this house is under both names.

Any matters regarding the house shall be decided by mutual agreement.

- Do you have any objections?
- I don't!

On holidays, we will each go to our family's home and spend time there, apart.

- This one is a bit...
- Why?

Do you have a problem with it?

Won't this be difficult?

Korean tradition, to split up like this to visit on holidays,

I think it will be difficult for our families to understand.

Because it's not a visit. It's forced labor,

and you endured it during our last holiday.

Afterwards, we were both sorry to each other

and felt awkward, for an entire week.

I don't want to experience that with you ever again, Ji Ho.

And what is so important about Korean tradition, anyway?

Our tradition is what is most important.

Okay. Call.

It is something that conflicts with our "primary objective," after all.

The next one...

We renew our contract every year

but our "primary objective" is always the same.

That our love

comes first, before anything else.

- Call.
- Call.

I admit that this isn't usual, of course.

After our first holiday when we split up to visit each of our family homes

Mother-in-law called me and cried over the phone.

And my father flipped the table over.

But that was all.

Not much else happened.

We just became the "psycho couple" in other people's eyes,

and as a result, we were able to be faithful to the lives we wanted to live.

Married or unmarried,

whether you register your marriage, or not,

whatever your choice is

the serious consequences that you imagine

do not happen.
- The show is going to start.

♫ I become wanting to fall in love ♫

The important thing is, no matter what shape it is...

Ji Ho.

Hmm?

I love you.

that with that person next to you,

in that moment

that you are together.

Me too.

So again, today, we

decide to only love each other.

TvN Monday Tuesday Drama
Because This is My First Life

And...

The bus is here.

To everyone who is living at this moment

with all our sincerity

we wish you good luck.

After all, this life, for all of us

it is our first time.
