03x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

We have more than what it takes
to raise Bada,

EPISODE 3

but what about Sa-hyeon?

How will he manage?

Are you inconsiderate or just plain dumb?

Raising Bada isn't the issue.

To Sa-hyeon, Song Yuan was only a partner.

He's young and successful,

which means
he can easily fall in love again.

But Bada has been left without a mom.

His one and only mother.

He can never see her again.

I get that, but…

Although she can't be replaced,

Bada still has us.

Grandparents he can always rely on.

What you don't understand
is that men need their better halves.

Not just any partner,

but one who we can give our hearts to.

You know how deeply in love he was.

As time goes by--

Time won't fix things.

What if it were us?

She died without being able
to close her eyes.

But the living
must go on with their lives.

What good will that do

when one's heart is broken?

How could this have happened to us?

Did you have any ominous nightmares?

No.

Then why did you ask if we had any?

I don't know.

For some reason,

I had a bad feeling this time around.

Maybe my ancestors
picked the wrong spot to rest.

That's just a superstition.

It's not.

-By the way, did we have dinner today?
-No.

-Lunch?
-As if we had the time.

Then we haven't eaten
since dinner yesterday.

Is this a time to be eating?

How can you have an appetite?

That's not it.

The tension I was holding is now gone
and I just feel fatigued.

I'm exhausted.

I'd be worried if you weren't.

Don't you think

Hye-ryung would be
the best choice for him?

Better her than a stranger.
And he's a single man again.

About Sa-hyeon…

There's nothing that could worry her

or plant doubts in her head.

Are you kidding me?

You are clueless when it comes to women.

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

Well, the situation has changed.

We were more than generous

and gave her everything she asked for.

She'd probably think
that karma did its job.

No way.

Bada's mom is the reason
she had to suffer.

But she died after giving birth.

She'd tell Sa-hyeon
"I told you so" if she could.

That's how people are.

She asked to be contacted
when the baby arrived.

I doubt she meant it.

Why bother coming just to say empty words?

She took everything
she thought she was entitled to

and let Sa-hyeon take all the blame.

Who is it this time?

It's Hye-ryung.

-What should I say?
-Just answer it.

What else can we say but the truth?

Hello?

-It's me, Mother.
-Hey.

COULD IT HAVE BEEN FATHER'S FUNERAL?

Is something wrong?

How's Father?

He's here next to me.

Are you ill?

You don't sound too good.

Why are you calling at this hour?

Is Sa-hyeon all right?

My friend saw him
at the funeral hall today,

but he isn't answering my calls.

Hello?

I'm here.

Could it be his brother?

How was his brother's wife's back surgery?

-Weren't there any complications?
-No.

Has there been a loss in the family?

You said that Sa-hyeon isn't picking up?

Yes.

Well, he's not in the right mind to.

-Why not?
-It's hard to say over the phone.

Hye-ryung.

Yes, Father.

What's going on?

Something bad happened to Bada's mother.

Something bad?

She's no longer with us.

This morning…

Right around dawn…

What is it? What happened?

After she gave birth…

Anyway, none of us are in our right minds.

-What about the baby?
-It's a son.

He's doing well for now.

He's a handsome one.

Anyway, that's what happened.

Which hospital?

I'm sure Hye-ryung
will stop by to see him.

I wonder how the baby's doing.

He won't know his mother's gone.

My heart breaks for him.

Of course.

People were right about
longevity being a curse.

But we need to stick around.

How else will we take care of Bada?

It's not like we'll sleep,
so let's go out.

We'll drop by to see Bada.

-I can't stop thinking about him.
-We can't see him whenever we want to.

There are fixed visiting hours.

But this is a special case.

His mother died,
so they'll let us see him.

Do you have a headache?

I liked how cheerful you were
and how you always smiled.

In elementary school,
teachers always described me

as cheery and bright.

I guess it's true

that you knew me back then.

Did you ever have long hair?

In fifth grade and in college,

your hair was always at that length.

-In college?
-You came to my school once.

-My gosh.
-I was talking to some club members

when one of the girls
called for a "Si-eun."

It turned out to be you.

You recognized me?

You looked the same, only taller.

After swapping a few words with you,

she came back
and lamented over your situation.

How she felt bad for you.

She told me about a sweet girl
from a widely respected family

who had been in a relationship

with a theater major
since her senior year of high school.

And she said that
her family was greatly against him.

Upon hearing that,
I felt a sense of bitterness.

It felt like a flame that had gone out.

Then I looked back,

but all I saw was your glowing beauty.

Here's how I ended up though.

Maybe I should have
listened to my parents.

Not everything they say is right.

But then we met again
at the broadcasting station.

When we did,

I thought we must be
deeply connected somehow.

But as if that mattered.

Did you ever catch my gaze in the hallway

when we crossed paths?

It would have given off
deep and mixed emotions.

Do you have any photos as a kid?

I'd like to see them.
They might jog my memory.

Even I haven't seen mine in a while.

You said I looked cold.

But there isn't
a cheery demeanor to you either.

Many bachelors
enjoy their lives to the fullest.

I bet you have been in love though.

A few came close,

but none fully captured my heart.

If the love isn't grand,

the relationship should
at least be comfortable.

But that was never the case.

Maybe you should open up more.

You seem like someone who doesn't want to.

Anyway, today's conversation
answered a lot of questions

I had about you.

Were you ever interested?

In you?

Well…

the other writers and producers are.

What about you?

You did catch my eye

among the other engineers.

You must be aware that you're a catch.

-Is that all?
-I was a married woman with two children.

You may have been married
with two children,

but you're still a woman.

Have you ever seen me in a romantic light?

You may not have recognized me,

but you could have felt
a subconscious pull.

It was never an option for me.

Maybe you can start
considering it from today.

Considering something like that
requires awareness and intention.

Exactly.

Are you saying you won't?

Thoughts become a reality
as they grow deeper.

I always thought about you

even when I was trying not to.

It was only for a few days,
but you were kind to me.

Then I saw you again
later on when you were in your prime.

Then we became co-workers
and ended up here.

-I guess so.
-What we have is special, right?

I should have dressed up more.

-You look great.
-I mean when I go to work.

You're not the flashy type.

You're humble too.

In other words,
some people may find me boring.

To me, you feel like home.

I met you in my teens, my twenties,

and again in my thirties.
Our first encounter was at 12.

It's been almost 40 years.

I heard the news.

Nothing I can say
could possibly comfort you.

-Where's the baby?
-In the nursery.

I got a glimpse of him.

Oh, dear.

Though the situation is different,
I endured through pain too.

So for the sake of your baby…

And your parents.
They didn't sound well over the phone.

Did my mother call?

A friend of mine saw you

at the funeral home.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Thank you for offering though.

VIP ROOM 2

REST IN PEACE

24 HOUR NURSERY

Goodness.

Sweetheart.

Generosity is rewarded

while sins are punished.

My mom was constantly depressed.

Do you remember the story
we ran on the show today?

My mom's situation was the same,

although my father
never suffered from any illness.

When did they divorce?

I rarely saw my father
after the age of ten.

After the divorce was finalized,

I saw him less than eight times in total.

It must have been painful.

Life wasn't fun.

My mom was my life,

but she barely cracked a smile.

What I mostly got from her were sighs.

Then she told me to attend an art class.

And this skinny girl

with a warm smile
would strike up conversations.

She looked at my drawings
and handed me chocolate to eat.

You were like a ray of sunshine
that lit up my world.

That's how it felt.

-It was a time when you were the purest.
-You're still just as kind.

My first boss was a woman.

And according to her,

enemies shouldn't be
forgiven and forgotten.

They should be carved into your DNA.

-Really?
-Yes.

Even enemies shouldn't be forgotten,

so how could I possibly forget about you?

Having you back in my life was a miracle,

but I couldn't tell you that I knew you.

You should have just told me who you were.

I thought it would
only make things awkward.

The awkwardness could have driven you away

to work at another station.

Then I wouldn't have
even gotten to see you.

Besides, you seemed to be happily married.

That's how everyone saw you.

That you had a good life
with a university professor.

I didn't want to unnecessarily
cause problems.

It's hard to know
what really goes on in people's lives.

Was he ever violent with you?

He was never like that.

He has a good personality.

It's just that

new things can drive us
to extremes sometimes.

-He couldn't shake off the temptation.
-I'm a man myself,

but I feel like men
can be foolish at times.

Are you sure

that you're over him completely?

I'm human too and it's not
like my affection didn't fade as well.

I'm home.

Right.

What are you up to?

I'm drinking a nightcap.

Let's have breakfast tomorrow
at Yeoksam Palace Hotel with the children.

They prefer sleeping in on the weekend
to hotel breakfast.

Doesn't the mom go jogging
while the children sleep in?

No, I usually cook breakfast.

I eat breakfast too, you know.
In fact, I love it.

HOW ABOUT A PICNIC INSTEAD?

BUT WHERE CAN WE EAT OUT IN THIS COLD?

THE CAR IS GOOD ENOUGH

I'LL BRING THE SALAD

ARE YOU GOING TO BUY IT?

BUSTED

I'M NOT KIDDING, YOU KNOW

BREAKFAST THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW THEN

ALL RIGHT

GOT IT

TURN IN BEFORE YOU SOBER UP

ALL RIGHT

CAN I TEXT YOU IN THE MORNING?

CAN I TEXT YOU IN THE MORNING?

CAN I ALLOW MYSELF TO LOOK FORWARD TO IT?

OF COURSE

I'D LIKE THAT

You'll catch a cold if your neck is bare.

Put it on me.

That's warm.

Not only is my neck warm,
but my heart is too.

Stay in place just like that.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to disappear.

I haven't had such a good time in a while.

My hands are warm too.

Thank you.

How do I look right now,

standing here?

Like Daddy-Long-Legs.

I mean, an oppa.

-You said you'd come tomorrow.
-Water.

You're in no state to talk.

Go ahead. I'm fine.

Is Ji-a asleep?

-Of course, it's midnight.
-And the housekeeper?

She went back home
to celebrate her sister's birthday.

Why are you always so beautiful?

You're always pretty,

but you look beautiful today.

Ji-a, I'm--

Leave.

-No.
-I won't let you in anymore,

so don't even try.

With houses, new is better than old.

But that doesn't apply to people.

We share a past, don't we?

So don't be too harsh with me.

The present is important,

but the past is just as meaningful.

Have you forgotten
about our life together?

-Go on.
-I'd rather not.

Have you seen the movie Giant Candy?

There's a line in it that goes,
"I wish to go back."

Wait, it's "I want to go back."

That's how I feel.

I miss the days

when we were a happy family of three.

-I'm desperate.
-A Mi is waiting for you.

I'd do anything if there were a way.

This happened to us
when we greatly loved each other.

In that sense, how we approach this matter
could put an end to our sorrow.

I'm afraid I'm not up for it.
This ship has sailed.

-Would you date someone else?
-As if I have the time for that.

Why do you ask when it's over between us?

Maybe you wouldn't right now
since you're not looking to date,

but what if someone asks you out?

I'm tired.

Did you call for a driver?
Or did you take a cab here?

Don't worry too much about Ji-a.
This is nothing.

We can solve anything
if we put our mind to it.

Unless it's love, I mean.

With love, you can't control the outcome.

My dear wife, you abandoned me.

I hear Father possessed Ji-a

and said that Mother
is the reason he died.

Could it be foul play?

Foul play at the movies?

Well, it was dark.

You heard Ms. Kim.
He just wanted Ms. Kim to hate him.

-From what I hear--
-From A Mi?

Why are you two so chummy?

It's unnatural.

I'm sorry for not ripping her hair out.

You're always generous and understanding,

so why can't that be extended to me?

They say that you should
k*ll the enemy with kindness.

This is about Father.

I found it odd from the start.

A healthy man dying at the movies?

He had high blood pressure
and heart issues.

But he took medicine for that.
Many people live long lives while on meds.

We all live with one or two illnesses.

We each have our own destiny.

Even the healthy suddenly drop dead.

So you don't have any doubts?

What can I do about it?

Should I request a police investigation?

Even if we exhume the body…

Get up and leave.

Get ahold of yourself.

Dad, you're here.

Hey.

It's cold out here.
You should sleep inside.

Your mom's making me leave.
She's kicking me out.

Grandma will be worried.

-We can call her.
-Exactly.

Do you feel chilly by any chance?

No.

Good.

You can take the spare room.

Blanket?

You should take your suit off.

PI-YOUNG

PI-YOUNG

I brought you vegetable porridge.

She stayed up all night making it for you.

You can't greet guests
on an empty stomach.

Even well-eaten ghosts look better--

Didn't Hye-ryung stop by last night?

-When did you get home?
-Around three.

Then why are you up so early?

I'm less sleepy when I'm here.

Check into a hotel then.

Were you with Ga-bin last night?

No, the son of Choisin Daily's publisher
asked me out for a drink.

He's not a heavy drinker though.

It's to show off his girlfriend, Mi-ae.

-That Mi-ae?
-Yes.

Is that something to brag about?
What if his wife divorces him?

As if she'd let him go.

Women are known
never to turn their backs on good men.

And yet, the son of Seoil Group's CEO

was served divorce papers.

Women aren't how they used to be.

They say that hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned.

So you have to party while you can.

-Do you think you can settle down now?
-Yes.

Don't you change your mind then.

The husband of a close colleague of mine

left his family for his lover

only to be dumped by her.

You could have been like that too.

You're a guy too, aren't you?

The world is a big place
with more than enough women.

All individually charming.

People are the same as food, you know.

There is plenty for us to enjoy.

But eating uncontrollably
will damage your health.

Whether it's food or people,
you need to practice restraint.

You can't compare people to food.

Especially women.

It's about time you dated now.
I'd rather you speak from experience.

It's not like I haven't.

A fling doesn't really count.

One or two serious relationships
are all that you need in life.

It's yours. Who's calling you so early?

BOO HYE-RYUNG

-Hello?
-Mr. Seo.

-Yes?
-I'm sorry to call you so early.

I heard you live in Golden Park.

-That's right.
-Could you perhaps give me a house tour?

I desperately need to move.

-Why is that?
-I've been having sleep paralysis.

Sleep paralysis?

I haven't been able to sleep well
and chills run up and down my spine.

Last night was the worst, you know.

I barely managed to wake up.

Maybe it's in your head. Are you sure?

-Haven't you had sleep paralysis before?
-No.

You need to get on a waiting list
to see apartments these days.

I heard that the units at Golden Park
have great layouts.

Are you busy today?

Only in the afternoon. How about 11 a.m.?

Sounds good.
I'll look up the address myself.

-Sure.
-See you later then.

Got it.

Ji-a, wake up.

-Let's go swimming.
-All three of us like old times?

Just us two. We should let your dad sleep.

Wouldn't Dad be upset

to find us all gone when he wakes up?

He won't.

It's nice not to be disturbed.

-Where's my fried egg?
-Cook it yourself.

I don't know how.

Is there anything you can do

apart from working, working out,
and dating women?

-What exactly is sleep paralysis?
-Beats me.

Boo Hye-ryung must be
more fragile than she seems.

Divorce could have
affected her psychologically.

It can be devastating for women.

More so for celebrities.

Don't ever hurt Ga-bin again.

Of course not.

Lunch or dinner tomorrow?
Ga-bin will join us like old times.

For my birthday?

Don't mind me
and focus on your wedding plans.

Don't make it sound like
I'm going out of my way.

-I mean it.
-I have plans.

-Playing golf all day?
-No, not golf.

-Then who are you meeting on a weekend?
-You told me to date someone.

Really?

Truly?

-Yes.
-Who is it?

-Ga-bin isn't your first love.
-Of course not.

Who are you spending the day with?

-Is this a joke?
-I'll make introductions when it's time.

When exactly would that be?

In a month? Next week?

No way. Once Dad hears this--

Don't tell him.

My gosh.

Where's Ji-a?

I'm the only one here.

I got the door lock combination
from Pi-young.

She called you?

She texted.

We should go.

Your stomach is upset?

-Let's go have hangover soup.
-I have to be at the hospital.

Did a VIP patient check in?

Eating won't take more than an hour.

There isn't a restaurant
that serves better kimchi than ours.

Not many families make their own anymore.

A little extra work from the wife
brings joy to the family.

-Are you happy?
-Must you ask?

Our daughter should
learn the master's recipe.

-What's your secret ingredient?
-Love.

Mother.

What?

What is this?

-It's a shrine for Father.
-What do you mean?

I checked online
and referred to what I saw at a temple.

-Are you insane?
-Why do you say that?

We should honor him
and appease his spirit.

You saw Ji-a yesterday.

Without even asking me?

-You're only keeping the spirit here.
-Exactly.

Many families have rites
to honor their ancestors.

-It's common in Japan as well.
-I'm the lady of this house.

-I am Director Shin's wife.
-Which Director Shin?

-Him!
-But he never lived here.

This is Yu-sin's house.

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

Keep dreaming.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but I'll eat my hat
if he actually marries you.

Look. He slept at Pi-young's yesterday.

It will only happen more often from here.

I'll give you my hat to eat when we marry.

Stop trying to have the last word!

Why do we have mouths then? It's to talk.

-You!
-You can burn incense and bow.

Clear this!

I'm heading out to find a suitable temple
for a soul-comforting ritual.

I'D RATHER EAT YOUR FOOD THAN A MONK'S

Even the 49-day memorial rite was useless.

-So a one-off ritual won't work.
-Clear this!

Just do as I say.

It'll only benefit you--

YOU DESERVE A REGULAR BEATING

Did you break your back?

Oh, no. Should I call an ambulance?

Father must be present.
He's refusing to go to the temple.

In other words,
he wants a home-cooked meal,

not one served by a monk.

I hear you, Father.

I should leave this house
and be done with it.

How are you feeling?

My muscles seem a little relaxed.

What's this?

I made a few side dishes.

All I need is kimchi though.

I should get myself a cutting board.

Don't you have one?
You want me to buy one for you?

It's fine. I can order one online.

How did you survive without one?

-I rarely cooked.
-What was that?

I said I rarely cooked. I usually ate out.

You've been living
such a comfortable life, I guess.

Fold your own clothes.

I haven't heard from Dad in a while.

His phone is off as well.

Just so you know,

all men get dumped
by their first girlfriends.

-Why?
-That's just how it is.

All my friends ended up
dumping their first boyfriends.

Don't be a loser when it happens.

Got it.

It won't be easy though.

Is Dad suffering then?
Is that why his phone is off?

He must feel like such a loser.
More so to us.

It's obvious.

U-ram.

What if Mom got herself a boyfriend?

Is Mom dating someone? That's absurd.

-How so?
-Because it's Mom.

Did it make sense for Dad?
He dated someone too.

Still. Just consider her age.

Age is irrelevant.

So can't older people remarry?

I'm not sure.
It doesn't matter with other people,

but I doubt any good will come of it.

For Mom or for you?

We can't be selfish.

We should wish for Mom's happiness.

That's our duty as her kids.

-What about hers as a mom?
-She devoted most of her life to us.

Actually, it was more like a sacrifice.

We're all grown up now. We aren't babies.

I'm still not an adult though.

Some adults

are even worse than dogs,

and there are children
who are mature and reliable.

Which one would you be?

Don't pressure me like that.

Do you believe that parents must sacrifice
their lives for their children?

Forever? Can't they wish to be happy?

I guess they can.

Is she off on a date then?

No, she took some side dishes to Dad.

I'd rather she not give a damn.

How can she not?

Dad never did.

He did until he left.

He walked out on his family
and chose to live a separate life.

If I were him, I wouldn't accept the food.

How can he even look at Mom?

You didn't tell the children
about me, did you?

-No.
-Well, don't.

Just make sure you don't slip up.

What?

Did you expect me to speak nicely?

-You can still call me by my name.
-Mine is off limits to you.

Am I worse than a stranger?

Worse than a stranger?
Are you seriously asking me that?

Why are you tearing up?
This isn't my fault, you know.

Thank you.

I'll enjoy the food.

Hello?

You have the wrong number.

If you decide to come by again,

-bring me some of our doenjang--
-Doenjang?

The store-bought ones
are too bland for my taste.

Doenjang, my a*s.

I love the layout.

I see.

Let me at least put that in water.

Do you have a vase?

How long have you been living here?

I bought it before it was constructed.

But the prices have skyrocketed.

To move to a place like this,
that kind of price needs to be paid.

I love where the unit faces.

Doesn't your unit face south?

No, northwest, and it gets chilly.

Homes should face the south.

I urgently needed a place,

so I forgot to check minor details.

Some high-end apartments like this

are situated in better locations
than others.

I bet the night view is to die for.

Would you like to see it at night?
It creates a great mood.

Maybe that's the reason
behind your enchanting demeanor.

-My demeanor?
-A serene, classic scenery

calms you down
and draws out a romantic mood.

It'd be nice to listen to music,
have some wine,

and enjoy the scenery.

I'll have the wine prepared.
When would you like to come by?

In order to catch a tiger,
I must walk into its den.

Welcome.

It's what I could get at the last minute.

You shouldn't have. It wasn't necessary.

The sun fills the house completely.

-It faces the south.
-You probably need shades.

Is someone here?

Yes, my housekeeper.

Hello.

Goodness, hello.
You look even prettier in person.

Thank you.

Do you drink coffee?
We also have black tea and pu'er tea.

Pu'er tea takes longer to brew and drink.

Pu'er tea, please.

Couldn't he have been alone?

Where I live faces the northwest.

-It must be chilly then.
-Yes.

Please take a look around.

Is it a special day today?

It's no one's birthday.

GREEN ONIONS, SEAWEED

-Is it for Dad again?
-Of course not.

-What did he say?
-He's grateful.

How did you take it?

Don't tell me you forgive him now.

Hyang-gi.

Don't give him an opening.

What if he asks to be taken back?

Your dad has a stronger ego
than you realize.

What matters more is how you feel.

I'm human too, you know.

I'm not an emotionless statue.

We all adapt and change

depending on our situation
and who we're dealing with.

I have a zit on my back.
Can you pop it for me?

Let me see it. It could be an abscess.

Why don't I put the flowers in water?

I already did.

She learned how to arrange flowers.

-Does she come every day?
-Three to four times a week.

She picks the dates.

Anyway, the layout
is what you'd find abroad.

A Spanish designer's touch.

The night view must be splendid.

It is.

A view like that
would most likely make you sentimental.

Not really.

How great would it be
accompanied by some music and wine?

Thank you.

I should have brought some wine instead.

I have plenty.

What is it that you don't have?

A woman.

What is it that you don't have?

A furry pet.

Why isn't he saying what I'm expecting?

Cats rarely get lonely.

Although, I'd hate to see
good furniture ruined.

-What other complexes do you have in mind?
-I doubt I need to look any further.

I'll put mine on the market
and snatch up what's available.

I asked the maintenance office,
but there are no available units.

One was on the market
when I searched online.

That's an old posting.
The ninth floor, right?

Yes. Are you saying
it's not available anymore?

FATHER

FATHER

Hello?

Then I'll settle on moving in as his wife.

-Are you being called in?
-No.

NICE! RIGHT ON TIME

-How embarrassing.
-Haven't you eaten?

I'm afraid not.

A green Falex limited edition watch!

Is that a new watch?

It's one I had.

There's a nice bistro out front
which serves a good salad.

It's time for lunch anyway.

Let me treat you for the house tour.

Who buys doesn't matter.

Shall we?

I have a salon appointment.

Would you like to grab a bite
with my housekeeper?

Ma'am?

That's all right.
I'm a bit shy around strangers, you see.

You do?

Where did you park?
The first floor or the basement?

The basement.

-You didn't bring your jacket.
-It's in my car.

Which salon do you frequent?

I switched from Tree People in Cheongdam
to Damon.

The name rings a bell.

My stylist opened a salon
in Dongbinggo-dong.

I'll need to book another appointment
if I miss this one.

-Then it'll be pushed back a week.
-I see.

Did you get it from a department store
or pay a premium through a reseller?

That model isn't easy to get.

Why bother paying a premium for watches?

I got it abroad.

Directly from abroad.

-Have a good day then.
-Sure. Thank you for today.

My pleasure.

Please let me know right away
when a unit is available.

Asking your real estate agent
would be faster.

Right.

I guess it wasn't all for nothing.

Hey. Did Boo Hye-ryung come by?

She just left.
Did you ghost Father's call again?

Did he call you instead?

-He asked for you.
-So?

-I told him you left.
-Anything else?

-He asked how I was doing.
-Shouldn't you be asking him that?

He's on the verge of caving
just like you predicted.

Parents have a soft spot for their kids.

Sure. Enjoy your day.

We just need to ride it out.

It's what I should have done back then.

-She seems fine to me.
-I'm still uneasy though.

Ms. Sa, it's Mr. Seo's birthday tomorrow.

-Did he tell you?
-I have my ways of finding out.

Fruit makes you gain weight.

As you know,
Mr. Seo has done a lot for us.

I know that.

Even the brusque Mr. Seo will be touched.

What should I get him?

Oh, please. I'll get one for the team.

-Isn't that too much pressure?
-Hardly.

ONLY I SHOULD SHINE
SO HE CAN BE SWAYED MY WAY

This way, sir.

Thank you for today.

Knock before you enter.

No matter how I think about it,
I feel like Father's stopping me

from leaving.

How can you easily call him Father
when you've never even met the man?

Of course. If he were still around,

he would have adored me
as much as he adored Pi-young.

I've never seen anyone
as thick-skinned as you.

Thick-skinned or thin. Who cares?

If your back is better, you should go bow.

I don't get you, you know.
Weren't you deeply in love with him?

I wish for him to move on to the afterlife
only because I love him.

But he doesn't want to leave.

Your interpretation suggests
that he wishes to be by your side.

Shut it and leave.

If we don't appease the anger he harbors,

he might stay here forever.

When did you become a ghost whisperer?

My clear spirit must attract them.

Stop speaking in a way
that's disrespectful.

What do I expect from a b*tch
who punches her mother-in-law?

A b*tch?

You will burn in hell.

I should serve Father his meal.

The naive Ms. Lee
might ruin the surprise if we tell her.

-Are you serious about moving?
-Of course.

To catch a tiger,
I must crawl into its den.

Hye-ryung's made her move on Mr. Seo.

He's a man after all.
It's probably just a matter of time.

What a minx.

Hey, Hye-ryung.
Thank you for the cake. My kids love it.

Ms. Lee, do you have
dinner plans for tomorrow?

Dinner?

No, I don't.

Why? Is something up?

I'll tell you tomorrow.

Anyway, please join me
for dinner tomorrow.

Sure thing. What about Pi-young?

She has to take care of Ji-a.

It's just that I have something
to discreetly discuss with you.

Got it. What time?

I'll text you when and where tomorrow.

Got it.

-Have a good day then.
-Sure.

Could she be seriously ill or worse?

How about this color scheme?

I quite like it.

Well, the groom-to-be
has a fair complexion.

I wouldn't recommend this
for someone with darker skin.

Go ahead and choose yours.

Are you busy today?

We have a long checklist to go through.

A marriage is a sacred event, isn't it?

MR. SEO

-Hello?
-It's Seo Ban.

I couldn't get to your text sooner.

Why not?

I see.

Care to do something nice
tomorrow evening?

Like what?

I'd like to invite you
to a fundraising event.

Not one too grand.

Where should I go?

-I'll tell you tomorrow.
-Sure.

Thank you.

Sure thing.

The chairman sent me
to collect Director Seo's belongings.

In his room.

-Does he know about this?
-Yes.

Hello.

Aren't you…

Yes, I'm a friend of Won's.

I came by since her phone was turned off.

Did she have the baby?

We should head up.

-Is it a boy or a girl?
-A boy.

My gosh. Congratulations!

-You must be thrilled.
-We are.

Is the baby healthy?

Yes.

-Who does he take after?
-We'll talk inside.

Something bad happened.

To Won?

How?

Is she still in the hospital then?

Sejin Hospital in Gangnam.

Which room?

-Aren't visitors allowed?
-She's in the morgue.

We can't believe it either.

Cheongdam Department Store.

Furniture options there are limited.
We should go to Nonhyeon-dong.

No, the department store.

You can pick the furniture out yourself.

They might ask to see you in a few days

and they hate badly dressed women.

-Is this all you have?
-There is more inside.

Is there a style they prefer?

Anything but avant-garde.

That one.

A MI

-Hey.
-Ga-bin.

What is it?

-What's going on?
-Won…

While in labor…

-After giving birth--
-She had the baby?

Something happened to her.

-What do you mean?
-She's in the morgue.

That's absurd.

What now?

The funeral ends tomorrow.

Sejin Hospital in Gangnam?

Yes, I'm on my way right now.

I'll meet you there.

Sure.

Is someone ill?

Her poor baby.

Please make sure it's on time.
It can't be a second late.

Sure thing.

Here's the coffee you ordered.

I wonder if it takes after Sa-hyeon.

I can't say I'm not curious,

but I can't risk
getting pulled into his life.

Sa-hyeon.

I bet you you were elated
when I agreed on our divorce.

I know you hid your true feelings from me.

The phone is turned off
and you will be directed to voicemail.

After the beep…

A Mi.

A Mi!

Did she go out without telling me?

Bugger.

Hey!

Bugger!

Fish Head!

A Mi!

You should be dead or else!

-A Mi…
-Are you sick?

You have no idea.

That annoying little bugger
will k*ll me before it's my time.

-What happened?
-Check the living room.

I'm famished, you know.

It's like she's telling me
to starve to death.

And she knows I can't move an inch.

Her phone's off.

REST IN PEACE

Mom, Mr. Seo didn't know our unit number,

so I told him.

-Right now?
-He knows which building--

Is he coming over?

Mom, quick!

But what for?

It's not weird
for someone to visit, you know.

Ms. Sa and Hye-ryung come by all the time.

He must miss you.

Mom, come on out.

Is he here?

-How many are there?
-Get counting.

Who stopped by?

The delivery guy.

SEO BAN

No way. This is so nice of him.

Smell Hyang-gi.

As in the "scent."

The smell of roses
is spreading everywhere.

SI-EUN

MR. SEO

-Hello?
-What are your favorite flowers?

Roses.

You can't ask that after getting me roses.

Do you like them? I'll get you
a more proper gift next time.

All women love roses.

-Then I'm glad.
-Thanks.

I first thought about sending chocolate.

I'd take roses any day.

Chocolate is delicious and all,

but it's not exactly good for your health.

I frequently enjoy snacks.

-You shouldn't.
-No?

-No.
-Got it.

I'll throw out what I have.

Do you have a lot?

Hand it over, then.

You shouldn't throw out any kind of food.

I can give U-ram some every now and again.

Will breakfast really be served tomorrow?

Yes.

I'll invite you home some other time.
Properly, I mean.

Right.

When do you normally have breakfast?

Let me know when it's good for you.

You don't tend to sleep in, right?

-Right.
-Can you eat at 8 a.m.?

Text me when you get here.
I'll meet you outside.

-Ms. Sa Pi-young.
-Yes.

How can I help you?

Ban.

Please take a seat.

The housekeeper sent
a suit and shirt to the dry cleaner's.

-Leave it at Ban's.
-Sure.

-Where are we headed?
-Gangneung.

-You want to go there?
-Yes. Right now.

I bet you're just as baffled.
How could they hide it from us like that?

I was pretty taken aback too.

Si-eun will forgive me
if I sincerely apologize.

I'll talk to her once I get better.

You could even give
a healthy person a heart attack.

You look so frightening.

My manager will get there
by 5 p.m. and call you. Take her car.

I heard you're dating an old woman.

You should date someone
who would make him happy and proud.

Must I care about him
and try to please him?

-Ms. Lee, Did I do the right thing?
-Of course.

-The screams.
-The screams?

Goodness. He's totally into me.

-You should rest on a Sunday.
-The same goes for you.

Is this some kind of charity
for underprivileged kids?

I don't know the details either.

We'll know once we get there.
I'm here as a guest too.
