PLEASE HELP ME STOP MY DAUGHTER FROM FALLING FOR A MARRIAGE SCAM

SB ELECTRONICS MANAGER SEO'S SEX TAPE

ONE DAY, MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT HOME A MAN SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO MARRY

HE'S BISEXUAL AND TOOK PART IN ALL KINDS OF LEWD ACTS

HE'S SCAMMING MY DAUGHTER

FIVE YEARS AGO, TEN DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING

SEO DO-HA

You canceled three days before the wedding.

For cancellations made three to five days before the wedding,

we can only offer a 30% refund.

It can take up to two weeks for the transaction to be canceled.

We just need your signature here.

Excuse me?

Did you happen to drop this?

Yes, it was you.

You forgot it in the restroom,

so I picked it up.

I was throwing it away.

Keep it.

Or just throw it away.

It looks like a wedding ring. Why did you end things?

Let me rephrase that.

How did you end up falling for a bisexual person, Ms. Noh In-ji?

My name is Lee Seon. I'm the COO of this establishment.

I'm also the CEO of NM.

First, the 70% penalty cancellation fee.

Now, a dissection of an engagement that was called off three days ago?

You want me to fill out a survey?

As the CEO of NM, I'd like to make you a proposal.

We're searching for employees who can enter contract marriages.

They'll be assigned to different posts every year,

and given executive-level salaries

that include bonus pay and comprehensive insurance.

How does that sound?

Contract… what?

What's all the fuss over marriage anyway?

Perhaps, Ms. Noh In-ji,

you're the one to blame for wanting an extravagant ceremony.

Perhaps none of this would have happened if you had just kept to yourselves.

Did the social recognition

matter that much to you,

Ms. Noh In-ji?

You don't know the first fucking thing about me.

A professional marriage.

It may be the solution to the downsides of modern-day marriage.

Think of it as revenge, if you will.

THE TRUNK

We'll head straight to the ER.

We'll be there in ten, no, five minutes.

Okay.

I'm going to give you a shot now. You'll feel a slight prick.

Han Jeong-won.

What brings you here? Are you here to see your father?

I'm here for something else.

Since you're here, you might as well…

This is a hotel-grade hospital with a medical team on 24-hour standby.

I don't need to see him.

But still…

Call me once he's passed.

I'll handle the funeral arrangements.

Ungrateful bastard.

NM NEW NOTIFICATION

CODE BLACK: DISPATCH KEEPER? NO

I'll make sure it doesn't leave a scar.

A little more to the side,

and it would have fallen on your head, not your arm.

You could have died. Some people aren't worth getting hurt for.

You barely even know me!

Is that in the manual too?

Having a husband die a week into the marriage

doesn't reflect well in performance reviews.

If you want to thank me for saving you, let's grab some burgers. I'm starving.

Two cheeseburger combos, please.

One with no tomatoes.

Sure, coming right up.

Here are your cheeseburgers. Enjoy.

Thank you.

Why aren't you eating?

I'm actually a vegetarian.

I forgot to ask for it without tomatoes.

So you even know how to joke.

-Do you not like tomatoes? -Do you?

No.

Then let's leave tomatoes out of any future salads.

It's gotten worse. We should put some ointment on it.

Can I ask a question?

Yes?

-How many times have you been married? -This is my fifth.

Does being married help you have a better life?

Do you enjoy being married? Enough to make it your profession?

You said you only had one question. It's my turn now.

Why do you hate the lights in the living room?

Who told you I hate them?

You made it obvious.

You turn your back to avoid looking at them.

If you're done, we should go.

I asked Mr. Kim to take care of it.

I may have a preference for solitude, but people still tend to me.

Call them if you need them.

You and your bitching!

Let me.

My hand slipped.

I don't normally eat breakfast, so don't make anything.

I do eat breakfast, though.

Then just order something.

I don't want to have to worry about you.

I'll be going out now.

Where to?

I have a meeting.

You should have dinner at home. I'll wait for you.

Can I use your car?

Use any of the cars in the garage.

A meeting at this hour?

So who's this woman you're marrying?

Someone you don't know.

There's no one I don't know.

So tell me, who is it?

Seo-yeon introduced her to me.

Lee Seo-yeon set you up?

And you actually agreed?

She said she'd take me back if I lasted a year.

I see.

You're just a couple of fucked up peas in a pod, aren't you?

How silly of me to try to understand what goes on in your heads.

But what's our newlywed husband doing here at this hour?

-It's awkward. -What is?

The woman was injured…

because of me.

My being there might make things uneasy.

Hold up, you're already living together?

I told you I didn't require assistance.

There's a medical record now, which somewhat complicates the process.

Please understand.

Was violence involved?

No.

Could the situation have escalated to violence?

No.

Is there a possibility of violence in the future?

Please alert us if a code situation arises.

Keepers are always on standby nearby.

I…

Yes?

It's nothing.

It's not looking good.

I'm seeing inflammation as well. I think we should remove the IUD.

And how about freezing your eggs?

I'm good. I don't plan on getting pregnant.

But you might change your mind later on--

I said no!

Let's give it some time and just replace the IUD.

You didn't hear?

Apparently, that woman protected Mr. Han Jeong-won

as those expensive living room lights fell on his head.

Is Jeong-won all right?

He's fine, but that woman's arm…

She had a cut this big, so he rushed her to the ER that evening.

I don't believe it. All that from a fallen decoration?

Sure, but isn't she amazing? I couldn't have done the same.

For her to do something like that?

Maybe she really loves him or something.

By the way, the next Heritage Lounge meetup is on the 15th.

They say there'll be a guest lecturer. You'll be there, right?

Right.

Yes.

I can't sleep.

The woman bothers me.

I need you.

She was hurt because of me.

She disturbs me.

The woman bothers me.

She makes me uneasy.

You just left it like that?

I'm fine. It's just a scratch.

Let's just watch soccer together.

What's your phone number?

I never saved it, so I couldn't reach you.

Had you saved it, would you have called to tell me you were coming home late?

Yes.

I'd have said not to make anything for me. Not that you'd have listened.

Here.

NOH IN-JI

Why do you enjoy marriages like this anyway?

Answer me this time.

I wanted revenge.

When I started doing this, at least.

I've since come to realize I'm rather good at this job.

Now you answer my question.

Why do you hate those lights so much?

My father attached…

a camera to that chandelier…

to keep an eye on my mother.

My mother was skinny, but she was tough.

Eventually, though,

she lost her mind.

My home was a living hell.

My father didn't want gossip, so he never brought her to a hospital.

Later, her sleepwalking got so bad

that I had to follow her around every night.

I was afraid she might kill someone. Or herself.

My father didn't beat me back then.

I could have done something to stop it.

But I didn't.

That's why I hate those lights.

Why are you telling me all this?

You said you weren't trying to seduce me.

You said it was okay for me to be myself.

I've given it some thought and decided none of it matters anyway.

It's like telling secrets to someone who doesn't exist.

Company protocol dictates you keep my secrets, no?

It's jasmine tea.

Have some before bed.

It smells great.

Once I finish this book, let's go on a trip.

Maybe, we'll see.

Let's just go. I'll make it work.

Let's just go.

Later.

Hey.

-Answer me. -Give me a second.

Hello?

Yes?

WIFE

Hello?

Is…

He just fell asleep.

He hasn't slept in days. I shouldn't wake him.

Is it urgent?

Jeong-won's father took a turn for the worse,

but he pulled through.

Give me a second. I'll wake him.

It's fine.

There'd be little he could do here anyway.

He's going to be all right.

Just tell him that I called.

Okay.

I'll tell him.

Has Jeong-won…

taken a lot of meds?

You said he fell asleep.

No.

He just fell asleep.

Just fell asleep?

I see.

All right, then.

-Hey, it's mine. -No, it's mine.

-Take turns. Give Hwan a go too. -You already had a turn.

-Take turns and keep it down, you two! -But it's mine!

I can barely handle the kids in the morning as it is.

Cut me some slack. I really can't drive today.

I'm going to throw up mid-ride if I take a cab.

What the fuck? That mothertrucker.

-A truck? -Where's the truck?

Mind the children.

Fucks like that won't learn their lesson until they're six feet under.

Please stop swearing. I'm getting motion sickness.

It's your own fault for getting hammered.

Right.

It's all my fault.

We won't have enough money for the remodel even with a loan.

Maybe we should only fix half the house.

Why don't you try asking Mr. Han Jeong-won?

What do you think he is, UNICEF?

Then again,

there's not much difference between 90% to 5% and 90% to 4%.

Okay, fine.

I'll try to get a bigger loan from the bank.

I run a tiny record label and earn just enough to get by,

but having Han Jeong-won work for me creates this strange illusion

that I'm part of the elite.

Honey, how about we move abroad?

I don't think Jeong-won's ever going to stop working for me.

Keep it down!

You're awake.

Did I fall asleep on the sofa?

I wasn't strong enough to move you to the bed.

We should go to the hospital.

Not for me, but for you, Mr. Han Jeong-won.

It's a shame, really. He was doing so well.

It's a good thing your wife was here.

I heard you were on Jeju Island?

Yes.

Okay then.

You should have done us a favor and died last night.

Quietly, without anyone knowing.

NO RECENT MISSED CALLS

Has Jeong-won taken a lot of meds?

You said he fell asleep.

No.

He just fell asleep.

What are you doing?

I'm considering helping you.

I've heard it's not a crime for married couples to turn a blind eye

to each other's crimes.

Yes, assuming you know a good attorney.

That being said, I do know a guy.

Then…

how about some revenge?

Thank you.

Looks like we won.

He's alive, but can't enjoy great food like this.

You do things like that often?

What do you mean?

What was that thing you left by the pillow?

I'm sure you've seen them in period dramas.

They're dolls you can stick pins into.

That one's actually full of baby powder.

Having one helped me sleep through even the stormiest of nights.

I slept well.

For the first time in about six months, thanks to you.

I'm glad to hear that it worked.

"Wife."

That's how she's saved on your phone.

Have you contacted her yet?

I don't see how that's your business.

-I'll do as I please. -She asked me if you had taken meds.

I don't think you'd do anything she didn't like.

And she never tried to stop you.

I think she's the one who suggested the drugs to you.

Please keep an eye on the vinyl covers. Make sure they go on nicely.

-Sure. -As for the curing process…

-Mr. Oh, sir? -Zip it. Don't say a thing.

HAN JEONG-WON

You finally answered.

I'm sorry they got in touch with you about my father yesterday.

It's fine. He wasn't the best father-in-law, but I owed him that much.

-Want to get some tea? -Maybe next time.

I have to be somewhere.

I see.

-I'll bring the lights once they arrive. -Make sure to charge a lot for them.

You look well.

I actually fell asleep without meds. On the sofa, no less.

It wouldn't be the first time.

I should get going.

Right.

Damn it.

Damn, I forget every single time.

What's the password?

For the love of…

Ms. Do-dam!

Sure, make yourself at home.

Look who's talking, Ms. Do-dam. That's my vending machine you're using.

That's why I'm getting one for you too, you cranky bitch.

Looks like I've gone and done you a favor.

Do you know how much cholesterol is in these?

Please don't drink them then.

How can I resist ready-made coffee?

I feel you.

What are you even doing here this early? Shouldn't you be working?

I told you, you're destined to just scrape by,

even if you work your ass off.

Jesus!

Cut me some slack. I have it tough enough already.

I have enough problems on my mind.

What kind of problems?

Remember Eom Tae-seong?

Who?

That fucking asshole who used to stalk In-ji.

Word is, he's been released from the mental hospital.

There's no telling what he'll try next, which is obviously a problem.

Just report him. That's why we pay all those taxes.

We can't involve the cops!

Why not?

We just can't.

Besides, they let stalkers off with a slap on the wrist.

A suspended sentence is hardly punishment.

Why do you look out for In-ji so much when you have your own problems?

I'm okay with me dying,

but I can't let In-ji die.

Cut the crap. What are you, a saint?

What the hell did that bastard do anyway?

That fucker Eom Tae-seong is the reason In-ji's life's gone to shit.

If only you knew what that bastard did to her…

It's complicated, okay?

Fucking hell.

I'll find this bastard, no matter what, and when I do, I'll kill him.

It seems Eom Tae-seong's shown up.

-Thanks. -No problem, sir. Go right ahead.

I thought right now would be perfect to try this freshly brewed tea.

I guess you were meant to try it, Mrs. Lee.

Right.

How's Jeong-won doing?

He seems to be doing well.

That would explain that look on your face.

I was the one who arranged that marriage for him.

That seems like a test to me.

You want him all for yourself, but he keeps eluding you.

You want to control every fiber of him, but you just can't.

I'm not that twisted.

Of course you're not, Mrs. Lee.

Ma'am, the instructor for our next gathering

is here to introduce himself.

Can I approach you?

No.

-Then why are you here? -I came to see you.

But I guess I shouldn't have.

Just go away, please. Leave. There's nothing to see here.

Get them out of here.

I'm sorry, but you can't be here. Please leave. I'm sorry.

Please go.

Stop them from going in this way!

Seems like the chest wound was the killing blow.

I wonder how many of them there are.

How many what?

Fish.

I'm sure there's a lot. All kinds, too.

Maybe it's because I quit smoking, but man, I'm hungry.

There's a loach soup place that way, and an entrail soup place right…

Not that way, sir. The other way.

I actually fell asleep without meds. On the sofa, no less.

No. He just fell asleep.

Mr. Kim, I'm stopping by. Please notify everyone.

I'm Lee Seo-yeon, Han Jeong-won's ex-wife.

I see.

I'm Noh In-ji.

-Can we try it two keys higher? -Two keys higher it is.

Bro, why don't we call it a day and you buy me a nice meal?

What do you say?

Next time. I don't think I can today.

Why not?

I'm eating at home.

I'm so sorry. My hand keeps slipping.

It's fine. I'll just go to the bathroom.

Sure.

NOH IN-JI

NOH IN-JI

DO YOU TRUST HER?

The number you have dialed is not in service.

Please check the number…

Do you trust her?

What?

That woman.

The one Lee Seo-yeon set you up with.

Do you think she'll be on your side?

Watch yourself.

Don't get stabbed in the back.

So Ms. Noh In-ji is the owner of the trunk?

Yes.

She carried it with her to every dispatch.

Dispatch?

Yes.

Where did she work?

I don't know the details. I only know that she was dispatched often.

How can you not know where your best friend worked?

Do you remember the leaked video from the Blooming Hotel?

It was her marriage that was ruined by that video.

She's never really opened up to me since.

Is that so?

I renovated the interior when we moved into this house.

I changed everything except those lights.

I figured they suited the home nicely.

But I feel bad now given what's happened.

Please don't.

It was just an accident.

I ordered new lights from France.

At Jeong-won's request.

I see.

Let's drop this pretense.

I'm sure you have questions.

You know who I am, don't you?

Don't you recognize me?

Of course I do.

Lee Seo-yeon, Architecture Department, senior year.
