EPISODE 2

The number you dialed cannot be reached…

Aren't you cold, sir?

No, I'm not.

You must be healthy.

Where are you going?

To church.

Are you that lazy
to help out with breakfast?

What are you looking at?

They say death comes knocking
when you act out of the ordinary.

My father passed away.

Wait.

Then shouldn't you head to the airport?

VACANT

Thank you.

You can keep the change.

You can keep the change.

Thank you.

Hi there.

Hello.

A spirit was here. You know that, right?

His presence is strong.

Get lost this instant!

Shut it.

Yes, ma'am.

You're going to a shrine
in Bulsan-dong, right?

Hey.

Ji-a?

You look soft and weak.

Get a hold of yourself.

What brings you by, sweetie?

Are you alone?

That's not very ladylike.

Son, let's go golfing.

-Get ready.
-Ji-a, are you mimicking your grandpa?

Hey, where's your mom?

Kim Dong-mi!

You're the reason I…

You're the reason I…

Ji-a.

Ji-a!

I suffered a wrongful death!

And it was all because of her!

Let me go!

You can't hide, you b****!

Ji-a, what are you doing?

Come to your senses, Ji-a!

I could have lived longer.

Sir, that's not true.

Come with me! I won't go alone!

I'm scared!

I feel too enraged and wronged!

Oh, no! Help me!

Sir!

Sir!

Ji-a! It's me, your grandma!
Please come to your senses!

Help me take

my revenge.

Ji-a.

Ji-a!

Should we call the hospital?

Or 911?

Hello?

Pi-young, Ji-a is here. Did you know?

She went there?

Yes. And she attacked Dongchimi…

She attacked Ms. Kim.

She attacked her?

Yes. It's a long story. Please hurry.

Hello.

Yes. I know it's a bit early,

but I have good news.

Our grandchild was just born.

We don't know
whether it's a boy or a girl.

She just gave birth in the delivery room.

We're on our way there.

Song Yuan asked us to call you
once the baby was born

since she knew you'd be worried sick.

Thank you.

Okay.

It took some time
since it was her first delivery,

but she'll recover well.

Don't you worry.
We'll take good care of her.

Did you hear that?

He's looking at me.

Goodness. You're right.

Are all his fingers and toes--

They're all there.

My baby.

I'm sure it was tough for you too.

Help her with breastfeeding.

Yes, ma'am.

Doctor.

-I can't…
-Are you having trouble breathing?

Yes. What should I do? What…

Intubation!

-Check her BP!
-Okay!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

MS. SONG WON

She refused to go
to a postpartum care center.

We'll be here for her.

Could you bring some seaweed soup for her?

I heard jokbal was good for childbirth.

Okay. Bye.

-Did you do number two?
-No.

I couldn't stop peeing.

I realized that
I hadn't peed even once today.

Goodness. You must have been feeling
very tense and nervous.

You're a good husband.

Go check on her.

Wait here. Don't call.

Can't we text?

I'm dying to know.

-Right. We should buy flowers.
-You're right.

Get Mr. Choi to do it.

Okay.

Is it a boy or a girl?

My parents are dying to know.

It's a boy.

-It's a boy!
-Yes!

Congratulations, Dad.

You too. I've been waiting
all my life for this day.

How is the mother?

Is something wrong?

I'm afraid
her condition suddenly worsened.

She passed away.

She passed…

Worsened?

-She passed away?
-Is that what you said?

Yes.

What is she talking about?

She passed away?

Yes.

Then…

Would you like to see her
for the last time?

Last time?

I'm sorry.

I did the best I could but…

Doctor.

I can't…

What happened?

No…

MS. SONG WON

Doctor, you need to do CPR on her.

-She's still warm.
-We already did.

Touch her. She's still warm.

She's looking at me. Can't you see?

Doctor.

Please. She's not dead yet.

Please hurry.

Song Yuan. Won!

Honey!

Doctor!

Don't just stand there.

Please save her. Please.

It was an amniotic fluid embolism.
Nothing could be done.

-What was that?
-The fluid entered her blood--

I don't care! Stop rambling
and perform surgery on her!

Don't you dare touch her.

We'll take Ms. Song to the morgue now.

Don't be absurd.

You can't take her.
I'll do everything I can!

What about the defibrillator?

I understand how you feel but--

No, you don't.

You don't.

Won, please.

It's me.

You should see Bada, right?

He's your precious son.

You can't leave him behind.

Our baby…

How can I live without you?

I can't live without you.

Please…

Sir, we need to move her.

I won't allow you to take her.

Never.

Did you not know that she was gone?

I was washing my hair and…

We slept in my bed last night.

It's understandable.

Don't just sit there. Make some coffee.

Or should I?

It's okay.

Pi-young.

My father passed away.

My Korean dad. My biological one.

I wanted to go to church
to pray for him, so I left.

But the elevator must have been broken
because it wouldn't budge.

I took it on my way up here.

No way.

I'm getting goosebumps.

And then?

On my way down
the emergency stairs, I saw her.

She looked exactly like her photos,
so I recognized her.

I even called her by name,

but she didn't even look back
and continued up the stairs.

Do you know what she said to me
after ringing the doorbell?

"You look soft and weak."

"Get a hold of yourself."

That's not how kids talk.

She seemed like
a completely different person.

Then she came inside and--

I think she was possessed.

It's her grandfather.

She's possessed by her grandfather?

I don't think your father has left yet.

You see,
I cry myself to sleep every night.

He wants me to hate him.

You cry every night?

We were together for decades.

I acted fine in front of you all,

but he only just passed away.

I always cry myself to sleep.

They say the dead can't move on
if you keep mourning them.

But I can't help it.

WHAT A FANTASTIC ACTRESS

What should we do?

Let's wait until she wakes up
and see how she's doing.

An exorcism will do.

Will you do it yourself?

Of course not.

I know many monks who specialize in that.

We need to talk.

WE NEED TO TALK IN PRIVATE

I need to force myself
to stop thinking about him.

I'll visit a big temple
and hold another ritual for him.

Didn't you say you did the same
after dreaming of your mother?

-Did I?
-You did.

You were little, so you must not remember.

How could he forget such a thing?

-Stay out of this.
-You need all the help you can get.

-This is serious.
-You're mourning your father.

Why don't you focus on that?

What should I do?

Don't worry. Yu-sin is a psychiatrist.

But you can't treat someone
who's possessed.

Just go to church
if you're going to nitpick.

They say those who pretend to be nice
are "eviler" than those who are blunt.

You should receive a checkup for dementia.

It's "more evil".

I'm sure this is temporary.

Seeing how she's asleep
proves that she's okay.

She once said she had seen him once.

She was half asleep,
so I thought she was dreaming.

Was I wrong?

Pi-young, let's go to church and pray.

-Temples won't help right now.
-We need to eat to live.

Let's have breakfast first.
It won't take long.

They say onlookers can't empathize.

How could you be hungry right now?

It wasn't for me.

I know you won't starve.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Are you awake?

Lie down a bit longer.

What happened?

-Oh, no.
-Song Yuan.

You should have done everything you could.

Goodness.

What should we do?

What about your baby?

Won.

I never got the chance
to call you by name.

You couldn't even
close your eyes in peace.

You have a baby boy.

As his mother, shouldn't you raise him?

My heart breaks for the baby.

He'll never see his mother's face.

And you never got to hold him.

You'll never rest in peace.

Oh, dear.

Sa-hyeon.

Is there really no way?

Don't just sit here and watch.

Do something.

How could this happen to us?

This isn't right.

How could God do this to us?

How could this happen?

My heart breaks.

It's torn to pieces.

Oh, no…

You know what?

I think Yu-sin's father
died because of Ms. Kim

although I've never met him.

You see,

Ji-a spoke as if she was him.

She charged at Ms. Kim and said,

"You're the reason I died."

-Really?
-Yes.

It was terrifying.

Ms. Kim turned pale
and started to tremble.

Ji-a seemed extremely strong for her age.

I think she's responsible for his death.

She says he's trying to make her hate him,

but I definitely heard "wrongful death".

Are you serious?

I saw…

I wasn't the only witness.

All three of us were there.

Ask Yu-sin yourself.

He said he could have lived longer

and wanted to take revenge.

I'm sure she did something.

If not…

He went into cardiac arrest
at the movie theater.

You weren't there.
You heard that from Ms. Kim herself.

We need to look into this.

Yu-sin wouldn't allow it.

He'll be humiliated.

Let's do it in secret.

Should I do it since you're busy?

I'll do it.

You've heard
of private investigators, right?

What will happen to Ji-a then?

THE BABIES ARE SLEEPING.
PLEASE DO NOT KNOCK.

Look at him.

He looks exactly like

his father and his grandpa.

Bada, how could this be?

Goodness. You poor thing.

I'm your grandpa.

Your mom may not be here.

But you have me,

your grandma,

your uncle,

your dad,

and two cousins.

She might get worked up
if she sees me again.

I've never called you Dad,

and I never got the chance to either.

I'm sorry.

You passed away

before I could make you proud.

Have you

ever thought of me?

I thought of you often.

I was curious.

I wanted to meet with you.

BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE

Anyway…

I hope you rest in peace.

PARK HAE-RYUN

Yes?

If you can't come here,
text me the address.

Time is of the essence.

What did you say?

I said time is of the essence.

I must see an acupuncturist.

I'm in the parking lot.

How bad is it?

Is it pretty bad?

-Let me see.
-What for?

Then why did you call me?

Because I need to get treated.

And I remembered the acupuncturist.

You can't enunciate?

I'm frustrated as well. And I'm in pain.

I was so shocked when it happened.

Did you have breakfast?

They say getting acupuncture is tough.

You should eat something.

Don't you have anything?

It's hard for me to chew.

Do you feel pain anywhere else?

Well…

I looked it up,

and I think
I have peripheral facial palsy.

What was that?

Peripheral facial palsy.

REST IN PEACE

Yes?

It's the second VIP room.

Our eldest son is here.

Didn't you say your friend
ran an oriental medicine clinic?

-He died.
-He died?

Yes. A few days ago.

Why?

I doubt it was due to an illness.
Was it a car accident?

-He fell off a horse.
-What?

He fell off a horse.

It happened during horseback riding.

He passed away
after being in a coma for months.

What a clingy, old geezer.

He even haunts me from his grave.

What did I do? Choke him? Smack his chest?

Why is he blaming me for his death?

What if Fish Head and Pi-young
collude together

and tell Yu-sin

to hypnotize me?

Then I'll just pretend as if it worked.

They can't hypnotize me.

Thank God it was Ji-a who was possessed.

She scared me to death.

I'll play dumb until the end.

That geezer is obviously into me.

Think of your age.

My goodness.

Are you okay?

Are you? Did you burn yourself?

Goodness.

-What?
-What?

This is a flipper.

Why is this here? Geez.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

You scraped your palm.

-Let's go to a pharmacy.
-I'm fine.

Come on.
I'm sure you scraped your knee too.

You fell quite hard.

Here. Wipe your hands.

Wait.

Let me. I'll throw it away for you.

You can grab onto me.

I'm fine.

I run a pretty big roast duck restaurant
near the intersection at Gangnam Station.

How about you come with me and--

Old man. Don't mind me
and go about your day.

I'm only 65 years old. I'm no old man.

Ma'am.

She's obviously had surgery,
but she still looks old from behind.

What did you just say?

MEDICAL RECORDS LIBRARY
PHARMACY

ORIENTAL MEDICINE CLINIC

DIRECTOR AN DAE-JONG

Let's see.

Okay. And it happened this morning?

-Yes.
-Did you have any symptoms before?

-Such as paralysis.
-No.

Any worries?

Acute stress could be a cause as well.

He was dumped.

A close friend betrayed him.

How long do I need
to receive acupuncture treatment?

Not for long since you came right away.

But you'll have to take medication too.

I trust you, Doctor.

If you're not hungry,
let's get your wedding dress fitted.

It'll take at least a month.

Let's choose our rings
and the venue today as well.

What if your parents--

This isn't about them.

To Antoi in Cheongdam-dong.

Yes, sir.

-My mother called, didn't she?
-Yes, sir.

Don't tell her everything.

But she asked.

Are you not smart enough
to come up with other answers?

I have to go to work.

Thank you.

How's Ji-a?

How can she be okay?

She needs to wake up first.

She did toss and turn,
but she's sleeping too much.

We need to meet tonight.

Lee Si-eun. We once met.

I doubt we met through a blind date.

Did we live in the same neighborhood?

What if Mr. Seo and Ms. Lee stayed behind
and had a nice chat yesterday?

So what? She's no match for me.

Hello.

I heard your manager
hurt her neck yesterday.

And the car was wrecked.

Yes. She needs to wear
a cast for a month or so.

Did you drink a lot last night

with Mr. Seo?

I waited for a bit then left.

It was getting late.

-So you didn't see him again?
-No.

He was away for less than 40 minutes.

I see.

I feel bad since he spent a lot of money.

Next time, it'll be my treat.

Did Ji-a get hurt?

I haven't spoken with Pi-young.

MR. SEO

Let's go to Y.O.U.
What time works for you?

Six o'clock? Seven o'clock?

Seven o'clock.

Hello.

Did Ji-a get hurt last night?

It's a long story.

That can actually happen in real life?

I'm still dubious
since I didn't see it myself.

So did she say something
while she was possessed?

I'm not sure. I don't know the details.

She was asleep, and I had to work.

Her grandpa cherished her a lot.

He must not be able to move on.

Then don't you think
his wife should've been possessed instead?

Do you know him?

He's my friend's ex-husband.

Ex-husband? He's good-looking.
Why did they get a divorce?

Because he was a cheater.

Focus on me.

I was wondering if my close friend
has given birth yet. She's expecting.

She would have called if she did.

You're close friends.

I've been pretty occupied lately.

She'll understand.

She rarely turns her phone off.

Maybe she gave birth.

If you're tired,
should we get the rings later?

That's okay.

We have things to do tomorrow.

What will be your wedding gift?

Will we live with your parents?

-Are you hesitant?
-I mean…

I grew up as an only child.

But do you think they'll allow that?

My father has been
conservative all his life.

Should I sell my house in Yangpyeong

and get a proper wedding gift?

The best gift…

is giving them a grandchild.

Let's have a baby first.

We won't be able
to get married if I don't get pregnant.

Are you going to pressure me?

Having no kids could be our fate.

We could adopt one.

Or find a surrogate.

Cancel the dress.

I'm joking.

You're not.
Knowing you, you could really do that.

Spend your entire life with me,

and you'll know what I'm really like.

I'm sure I'll surprise you.

You're never sincere.

But I'm always sincere in love.

Right?

When will you smile?

You're still bitter about the past, right?

Through our marriage,
I'll get rid of all hurt and distrust…

Maybe not the latter.

Do you trust me?

Drink your tea.

Please use honorifics
when we're with my parents.

It may be suffocating at first.

Your mom too?

Everyone becomes like my dad with time.

Except for me.

This is our last story.

To my dear listeners, especially women,

grab a glass of beer and brace yourselves
before listening to this story.

"When I was young,

I've heard that a husband's love
for his wife lasts only three years."

"But in my situation,

my husband left home
to live with another woman

only two years and four months
after getting married."

"I declined his request for divorce

solely for our daughter."

"He ended it and came back
once my daughter was in kindergarten."

"I thought he had
finally come to his senses."

"Then we had our second child."

"But when our second child was four,

he met someone else and left again."

"One good thing was that
he wired us money."

"Two years ago,
his girlfriend contacted me."

"He was bedridden and paralyzed
after a brain hemorrhage surgery."

"And of course, she left him."

"She packed up
and moved out of their house."

"I can't reach her."

"I fed, bathed, and helped
my disabled husband exercise

while raising our daughters."

"I think about how exhausting my life is
several times a day."

"What should I do?"

"Every time
I became enraged and exhausted,

I comforted myself
by thinking this was my fate

and that he was still a dad to our girls."

"But I can't do it anymore."

"But I can't just abandon my husband."

"He's not completely disabled,
so I can't admit him to a sanatorium."

"With the money I received

from fostering children
and from my husband,

I was able to provide for my children."

If I was her,
I'd send him to a sanatorium.

Why would I take care of him?

But he regularly sent her money.

You can't just feign ignorance
and not help out.

There must be a god.

He was punished.

Is it a punishment or fate?

It's a punishment from god.

What would you do?

A disabled husband at home
will only slow you down at work.

And the kids should be old enough too.

That's my current situation.

My husband's face is paralyzed.

-No way.
-Facial palsy?

-When?
-Really?

He called me early in the morning,

so I took him to get acupuncture,
at an oriental medicine clinic.

He called you?

It's safe to say
he and Ga-bin are over now.

So? Does he want to reconcile?

Of course not.

Are you going to nurse him?

Just make Ga-bin do it.

So that she can see him in his state
and get even more turned off.

I would have done that.

Will you keep driving him?

It was just for today. He's not a baby.

How do you feel deep down?

Relieved? Happy?

-Worried?
-I don't know.

How could you not know?

It breaks your heart, and you pity him.

-That's not true.
-Si-eun.

Weren't you put off by him?

Of course, I was.

But look at you now. You're wavering.

-Let's be honest. He was my husband.
-Honestly,

You'll get back together soon.

-I won't allow it.
-Don't get ahead of yourself.

It wasn't a stroke.

And he can cook for himself.

Don't mind him and just ignore him.

She's right.

All right.

God probably punished him temporarily
so he'd learn his lesson.

He needs to.

I heard it's difficult to eat,
and you spill everything.

You're right. I bet it's tough.

I just wanted to go there.

Do you have a headache or anything?

No.

Do you still dream of Grandpa these days?

Not really.

Dinner's ready.

Hey.

You're going out?

Yes. Another sudden meet-up.

Reheat the soup and the fish.

U-ram will be home soon.

Okay.

I'm glad you bought that coat.

-It really suits you.
-Really?

-It wasn't expensive, but it's nice.
-You're right.

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

Hey.

Which hospital?

Is it bad?

Just the face?

Okay.

Do you want some wine?

If you're having some.

Let's have dinner with Ban on Sunday.

Doesn't he golf on the weekends?

Even if he does, he'll be done by dinner.

By the way, shouldn't you go to work?
Your father might fire you.

-Are you worried I can't provide for you?
-I can make a living too.

It's all for the best.
We're planning our wedding together.

I feel bad about it.

In life, there are times
when you meet unexpected obstacles.

-We can overcome it together.
-Your life was peachy all along.

Not work-wise though.

Really?

Professor Park…

He's being treated for facial palsy.

You know what that is, right?

I'm sure he doesn't want you to know.

It's treatable.

I'm going to be punished.

It's his personality and fate.

To be honest, I played a part too.

Not all who get dumped are like him.

You've never been dumped before.

Our breakup was painful for me too.

Are you mad at me again?

Let's go to a hotel.

Your house has bad energy.

People will talk
even before we get married.

Will you be okay alone?

Let's find a house first.

I came ten minutes early too.

Did you stop by your house?

I had to make dinner for my kids.

I ordered for you

since I know what you like.

Look. I thought about it.

I think you're mistaking me
for someone else.

That could be the case
if you changed your name.

Then maybe that woman
and I share the same name.

I'm not demented.

I have no recollection of you.

I changed my name.

You said we didn't go to the same school.

Here's your appetizer.

Thank you.

What was your previous name?

Didn't you go to Daechi Art Academy?

Yes, in elementary school.

And you quit
during the start of winter break.

You were in fifth grade.

Did I?

I went to several academies back then.

-Did you go there, Mr. Seo?
-Drop the honorifics.

This is all too sudden.

And surreal too.

Seo Dong-min.

I'm hurt. You were so nice to me.

I was?

How?

Aren't you hungry?
You don't like cold bread.

You quit ten days

after I enrolled there.

You have such a good memory.

Only when it's about you.

You were a talented artist.

I thought you'd study art.

It was average for a kid
who studied there for three years.

How long did you go there?

Just for that winter break.

I wasn't that good. Not that I'm good
at anything in particular.

You're good at golf.

-I never told you that.
-You didn't have to.

I heard from others.

And you're fit to play golf.

And you ran into Ms. Sa
at the golf club several times.

Were you interested in me?

It'd be weird if I was.

Why? It's not weird
to be interested in others.

Yet you're usually indifferent
towards others.

After everything I just said?

Old memories tend to be more vivid.

They're only vivid to me
and you have no memory of me.

We drew together six times while sitting

side by side.

Side by side?

You should have told me this sooner.

I'm hurt.

I just thought I'd watch you from afar.

I feel bad now that I know everything.

Are you offended?

This is nothing to be offended about.

You must have been quiet
back then as well.

I would have remembered
had you been mischievous.

You live an efficient life.

You don't waste your energy
and only say what's necessary.

You were bright and friendly.

Especially to me.

Or maybe it was just me who felt that way.

That may be true

if I had the same disposition as I do now.

You were 161cm tall.

People often thought
you were in middle school.

Why did you change your name?

Seo Dong-min…

I like Seo Ban more.

It suits who you are now better.

My mother

didn't want my half-brother and I
to share the same name.

But we're close to the point he comes
to my place whenever he gets kicked out.

Who put in the effort?

Him. Unlike me,
he's friendly and compliant.

So he grew on me.

We met when I was in college.

-What's the age gap?
-Fifteen years.

He may be young, but he is
much better than me in many ways.

You are a decent guy yourself, Mr. Seo.

Call me by my name.

Did I do that in the past?

Of course.

Your old name is too unfamiliar.

Ban.

Si-eun.

This is nice.

Don't you agree?

I'm still a bit bewildered.

On my first day at the academy,

you offered a piece of chocolate to me.

It was the tastiest piece
of chocolate I had ever had.

I didn't even like chocolate before that.

Is there anything you gave me, Mr. Seo?

Is it that awkward to call me by my name?

Yes.

A bit.

I understand.

I don't care how you address me.

I only care about your heart.

Isn't she home yet?

We had tea together before we left.

Her phone was off,
so I thought she'd be home.

-She came then went out.
-Will she be late?

I didn't ask.

My fans sent these to my agency.

Is today your birthday?

No. They always send me gifts.
Put them in the freezer.

Okay.

Where's U-ram?

Showering. You didn't eat yet, right?

How did you know?

I didn't, but I'm not hungry.
I had enough tea.

Food is tastier with the company.

Cakes are tasty even if I eat them alone.

Do you have your mom's skinny genes?

I do gain weight.

It must be tough to study
and work part-time.

Everyone in their youth struggles.

I struggled a lot during my divorce.

-Do you have a boyfriend?
-No.

-Why not?
-No reason.

Dating in your twenties
and thirties is different.

You should experience
everything others do.

-What's your goal in life?
-Treating my mom well.

Gosh. She must feel reassured.

-What about you?
-Your goals change as you age.

I learned not to lose hope
even when times are tough.

If you stay strong and endure it,
you'll find new hope and courage.

Remember how chaotic it was
when the media reported my divorce?

Now that I've stayed strong,
I've found peace once again.

You'll remarry, right?

It'd be a pity if you stayed single
and worked all your life.

I guess your mom hasn't told you yet.

-Do you have a boyfriend?
-Not yet.

Maybe she's visiting your dad.

Was she empty-handed?

Yes.

Did my dad call her?

U-ram.

Hello.

-Have some cake.
-Okay.

She's running late.

I should go.

I heard Mr. Seo gave you
a lot of pocket money when you visited.

-Yes.
-How did you spend it?

On good food and books too.

What kind of person is Mr. Seo?

He's a good, charming man.

How is he charming?

He's a bit unique. Right?

Yes.

Then why hasn't he gotten married?
I heard he's still a bachelor.

Beats me.

-Are you running late?
-Are you working tomorrow?

-Yes.
-I have work in the morning.

-I'll stop by in the afternoon.
-Okay.

-Don't let her sleep alone.
-I won't for the time being.

Can't you show me more respect

and use honorifics?

Is that even important right now?

Mr. Seo.

I heard you live in Golden Park.

I do.

Could you give me a house tour today?

I love myself so much.

My heart breaks every time I think

about the baby.

I don't think

I'll ever forget…

how she passed away with her eyes open.

Me neither.

She won't be at peace.

Let us…

bid her a good farewell.

You were born in the spring, right?

What do you not know?

Your heart.

At times, we don't even know
what our hearts want.

Don't you want to know my birthdate?

When is it?

I can't get used to it.

To what?

Talking to you like this of all people.

If Ms. Sa and the others find out…

I bet you'll tell her right away.

Don't you want that?

I don't mind.

It's best I don't tell her.

-Why not?
-People will talk.

It's not like
we got to know each other by accident.

And people like to speculate.

That won't change anything.

My birthday is in two days. Sunday.

You're kidding, right?

It'd be nice if you invited me over.

Let's have dinner with the kids.

I'll book someplace nice
that they'll like.

You're always supposed
to treat others on your birthday.

It'll be my treat.
The kids will be confused.

U-ram likes me.

How do you know?

I can feel it. I met Hyang-gi too.

Still, they're quite busy.

Just ask them.

How can they say no if I ask them?

You don't need to go
inside the complex. I'll get off here.

Which building?

That one. Building 1109.

Thanks.

I was happy to meet
a fellow academy student

although it was brief.

What is it?

This feels surreal for me too.

I couldn't sleep last night.

Wait.

How could a gentleman like you
still be single?

Get in. It's cold.

I hope I wasn't pushy.

I had a good time.

The 12-year-old girl
who had big eyes and smiled often

is in front of me right now.

Don't embarrass me.

I'm in my fifties now,

and you played dumb all along.

You said the results
are what matters, right?

I've learned

that no one should guarantee
anything about the future.

I won't do that.

You should go.
I don't like being watched from behind.

Okay.

Si-eun.

Can I text you once I get home?

Were you with Dad?

No.

Hye-ryung came by.

Why?

She brought cakes and cookies
she received from her fans.

Did you talk to Dad?

-Yes.
-You should have told me.

Is he okay?

I guess.

Does he complain to you?

It's silly to pretend like he's okay.

Promise me you won't waver no matter what.

Okay.

I did the laundry.

Thanks, Hyang-gi.

SEUNG-A

Hey, Seung-a. It's been a while.

Where are you? Home?

Not yet.

It seems like Sa-hyeon
lost someone in his family.

He's in mourning?

I went to Sejin Funeral Hall
this afternoon

because of a colleague and saw him there.

Only I saw him.

There's no way his parents passed away.

Who knows?

It seemed like
he had lost a family member.

Based on his clothes.

I'll check.

Okay.

HYE-RYUNG

Ji-a, I'm--

What we have is special, right?

I guess so.

Don't you think
Hye-ryung would be the best?

Why would she want
to get back together with Sa-hyeon?

Sa-hyeon, I bet you were elated
when I agreed on our divorce.

I know you hid your true feelings from me.

-Are you crazy?
-What do you mean?

-What right do you have?
-I'm your future daughter-in-law.

I love the layout.

It smells nice too.

It'd be nice to listen to music,
have some wine, and enjoy the scenery.

I'll prepare the wine.
What time do you want to come?

What is it that you don't have?

A woman.

Care to do something nice
tomorrow evening?

-Where should I go?
-I'll tell you tomorrow.

A Mi.

Ms. Sa Pi-young.

Yes?
