We're even, then.
We hurt each other's feelings.
I'll forgive you. Whatever happened in Hokkaido.
I'll forgive you everything.
Keep the guys under you in check.
Strange rumors are spreading around.
Don't do anything else from now.
Just find me who posted those images.
Why aren't you answering?
I asked you what I should call you.
You could just say it wasn't the case.
That you just met by chance.
What if they discover Seong Gu was murdered?
What are you going to do about it?
Go die there.
I said, go where Seong Gu died, and do the same.
I will never change, until the day I die.
I love you.
I need a talk with my wife.
Thank you for the nice dinner.
Thank you.
Don't forget.
I'll keep what I promised you today,
no matter what.
Episode 17
Is this what you meant?
When you said you found someone you like?
Fine.
I'm the foolish one, for bringing this up.
How could you do this to me?
Just because your husband cheated on you once,
you do the same?!
How am I supposed to endure this embarrassment?
I'm so ashamed of myself, I can't even look at people.
Is it that hard?
What did you say?
I asked if it's hard to endure,
wondering what other people will think of you.
Listen to that.
If I were you, I'd be so sorry I won't be able to look me in the eyes.
How can you glare at me like that and talk such gibberish?!
You laugh?!
Sure.
It must be laughable to you.
After only seeing Ha Dong Won,
you've finally tasted some alternatives.
Is that all you can say?
Does that really make you feel any better?
Why, is it vulgar?!
I really can't figure you out.
How can you be so firm about all this?
You won't understand even if I tell you.
Tell me.
Let's listen.
Yoon Hye Jin.
She was out holding hands and "hehe haha" laughing with this young fool,
so now she's in the mood for refined words?
So what?
"So what"?!
So, what, you want to kill yourself over this?
What?!
You're so angered and embarrassed,
you don't know how to react, don't you?
It's all you can think about, right?
Someone like me, who would never be the type to do this in your eyes,
forced you into this state, so you don't know how to react.
Yes.
It must be embarrassing.
Someone as capable as you, facing this disgrace.
It must be hard even going out on the street.
But, just because of that,
you're not the type to kill yourself over it.
Even if you lose me, you could easily go on.
Since, if it's someone like you,
you could certainly find someone younger and better than me,
anytime you wanted.
So...
you're not afraid a single bit...
of losing me.
But I'm different.
I was afraid I could lose you.
Afraid you'd abandon me,
I lived for three years trying to ignore the fact...
you were having an affair.
If it wasn't just a woman, but you went from this to that woman,
I wouldn't have felt uneasy even once.
He's not going head over heels for a single woman,
so he won't abandon me.
He would eventually stop.
He wouldn't break up this family.
I didn't feel the urge to kill myself because you had an affair.
Afraid you'd abandon me...
I was so scared I wanted to die.
Is it the same for you?
Did you come all the way here...
because you were afraid you'd lose me?
You know it's not that.
That's not why you came here.
There's no need to beat yourself over this.
I'll live alone.
I will.
So, she's helping me out, now.
I'm not living alone because of you.
Don't bring the kids into this!
You can't raise them by yourself.
Why are you even worried about that?
You can't raise children with money alone.
Why did someone who worries so much about her kids...
What?!
You wanted to die, afraid I'd abandon you?!
Then, all you do is that?
With some young man?
Fine.
Let's end this.
I never thought you would.
I couldn't believe until I could see it with my own eyes.
Can't you beg for forgiveness, even a little?!
If I were you, I'd be so sorry I would.
Just for that, whether I'd forgive you or not...
What do I do?
Do I still bring her back and live with her?
It's not like we married out of eternal love.
But, just bringing her back and keep on living...
Ehhh... It's driving me crazy.
What?
What are you doing now?
Are you home?
Y... yeah.
Can't you come here a little while?
Are you crazy?
Really?
But I miss you?
Okay.
Too bad, then.
Goodnight!
"Goodnight!"
What's wrong with you?
If you keep that up, you'll become exactly like that.
Like whom?
Did you keep going around because of that woman?
Because of that woman, Jun Soo...
So, I need to pay back my debts.
It's just laughable, that's what.
What is?
Hey. Who stole that woman's husband first?
It's you.
Whose side are you on?
What sides?
You're on my side!
If you're on my side, then you should stand with me.
What I'm saying...
Just forget it, and start from scratch.
I can't.
Even if I try to forget.
Da Ae.
That's not something you can control.
People liking or disliking someone.
No matter how many excuses you bring up,
you're just spicing up things even more.
Still, I'll keep up with it.
No matter how much spicier things get.
Why should I be the only one to suffer?
Who the hell is she, going after Jun Soo?
I can't.
I can't take that anymore.
Where did you go, Seonsaengnim*? (*used for esteemed elders)
The kids?
I sent them to bed. Ahh...
They were making such a fuss.
I'm sorry.
Didn't you go meet Hye Jin?
Just get over it.
Then things will just get worse.
Would she really have the guts to leave home?
If you try to stop women, they go at it even worse.
Can she endure it on her own even a little?
Just wait and see.
After less than a month, she'll miss the kids so much she'll be back.
- Are you going to sleep already? - Yes.
I need to leave early tomorrow.
Ahh... yes.
Have a good night, then.
Should I bring you something to drink?
Don't worry about Hye Jin. With her personality...
Right.
If I try to go after her, it will only get worse.
Particularly because it's something she did.
Yes, it's me.
Tell me.
Oh... Hye Jin!
Can you come today? Suddenly the schedule changed.
Oh... great. Then, head for Gimpo Airport.
It's a flight from Haneda (Tokyo)...
Yeah... yeah... right. I'll count on you, then.
Yes, understood. Yes.
Ehhh... where the hell is he, still not here at this hour?
Couldn't you call him?
You've spent the night here?
You're telling me you stayed here all night?
You can see it well from here.
Why didn't you come in?
I prefer looking at you from here.
I can see everything from here.
Whatever it is you're doing inside.
If you're busy, just go.
Don't worry about me.
You brought your car, right?
If you give me a lift, I think we'll have time for a coffee.
Wait just a second.
One is black, the other has chocolate, sugar and cream.
- This? - Yes.
I thought I'd buy some sandwiches,
but since there was a donuts store, I bought those.
You don't like sweet food?
I like it.
From now on...
From now on, what?
"Don't come looking for me at home"?
"And don't call."
I need to bring my kids back.
And that takes time.
How long?
It won't be quick.
First, I need to become financially independent.
I have money.
Bring them in. I'll take care of them.
It's not that easy an issue.
So, what is so complicated?
There must be many reasons, but involving you in this...
I don't like that.
I don't want other people's money.
I don't want to lean on anyone but me.
Fine.
I understand what you mean.
Thanks.
If it's this way, will you keep meeting me?
By chance.
If I meet you like this, you can't do anything about it.
If I try to avoid meeting you at all costs,
but then we see each other by chance, can't do anything about it.
Isn't that right?
By chance... let's meet soon!
Excuse me.
What are you looking at, Director?
Whenever I was looking at that in my early days,
my blood would be boiling.
Let's see what you can do.
If you can beat me.
Is it the same now?
Yes. Let's get back into the fight once again.
Let's see if you can beat me.
Doesn't look like it was Director Shin's doing.
What?
The Internet thing.
Ahhh... the air is nice.
Director Shin?!
Yes. The moment we moved here, he started going after me.
He kept telling me to go under his wings.
How much did he say he'll give you?
Well... a big one?
Although compared to you, it can only be a small one.
You should have taken that.
I did.
You did?
Yes.
You should accept what is given to you.
Oh... look at this guy?
Yes! I wholeheartedly accepted.
So, what did you give him in return?
Our team's investment strategy, what else?
You didn't tell him anything about my private life?
Of course not, Director.
Ahh... you need to know something to do that!
I don't know a thing about your private life.
I'm like one of those double agents in spy movies.
But that's only on paper. In truth, I only gave him...
false information or just crap, while I kept being loyal to you.
I did well, didn't I?
It was like sending special forces to attack your enemy's headquarters.
So, after all, the one who posted my wife's photos on the Net...
wasn't Shin Jung Ho.
He wasn't.
Can you prove it?
I had a drink yesterday with Director Shin.
I told him, pretending to be drunk.
"Wasn't that a little too harsh?"
"Doing something nasty like invading one's private life?"
So?
He said he didn't do that.
Then, why did he seem to admit it when I asked?
I asked him that, too.
But then he just said you'd be suspicious anyway,
there was no use in denying things.
Or did he just say that?
You, get the others and find me a surefire jackpot.
You're going to play against him?
We need to do something.
If this keeps up, I'll have to give back everything they threw at me.
Don't let them grow suspicious, and search well.
You still trust me, right?
Oh!
Did the announcement come out?
Of what?
Division Director.
Should come within the week.
Does the chairman know about that little issue?
How old is that story?
It was price manipulation serious enough to be included in company records.
Would they forget about it so easily?
Can they prove it was me?
Of course.
And how would they?
Doesn't feel like you're pissing comfortably these days?
Did the wife ruin everything inside or something?
So it's a case of "let's fall together"?
I'm just saying, let's both avoid the fall.
You don't like going under my wings.
Where is Number 2 in this trade?
Stop pushing me, and I'll keep quiet.
What are you doing, Hyeon Pil?
The market just closed, go out and check.
We were in a meeting, discussing where to start from.
I'm leaving first!
- Yes, good evening. - See you tomorrow, Director.
The Director seems quite lively today?
That's what I'm saying.
Who is Ha Dong Won, to fall down for just that?
If it was me, my back would be hurting from all the stabbing.
You know weeds?
The more you step on them, the more they push up. Weeds.
That's Ha Dong Won for you.
This is awkward.
- How do I look? - It's strange. Get up.
- You little... - What did I say?
When will I ever get to sit on something like this?
How does it look?
You're pretty, today.
Had a date, so I tried.
Date?
Can you call that a date?
I'm going to a marriage meeting, didn't I tell you?
It's this lawyer who lives in the US.
Kept following me around, asking for a dinner with me.
He did?
Yeah. Said he likes me.
That's good to hear.
Ahh... later.
Why did you ask to meet me?
To talk about that meeting?
On your company website, someone posted photos of your wife, right?
I was the one who posted that.
You're not asking me why?
If I do?
Does all that disappear?
Nothing to feel sorry about.
Who said I am?
Have a nice meeting. Marry him, if he's the right one.
Wait.
You know what the most pathetic thing in life is?
Becoming a loser. Particularly men.
If you become a loser, you lose everything.
Money, women, family.
Friends.
You can't live off love alone, in this damn world.
Why did you like me?
It wasn't just money.
It did start that way, but as time passed...
You took a liking to me!
Something like that.
Don't you know it's that affection that ruins people?
Those who lose in a battle for survival always bring that up.
That damn affection.
Then, did we simply...
Simply what?
Nothing.
If you want me, wait. Until I turn everything where it used to be.
And your wife?
Will you forgive your wife, too?
Forgive her?
For what?
I said later, didn't I?
Da Ae.
Forgiveness...
Leave it to those who need it, begging for their lives.
Why would the one clenching the sword...
ask for forgiveness?
Wait.
I'll come back for you as well.
You're here again!
This parking lot entrance, I get confused every time.
Step out, I'll park it for you.
Many thanks.
Did those suspicious fellas wander about again?
Don't ever mention it. They're all over the place.
No matter how long I glare at them, they don't move a bit.
Just go in. Looks like he was waiting for you.
- It's an old car, so be careful. - Yes.
You can come in. The door is open.
It'll be just a moment.
Smells nice.
Didn't have lunch yet, right?
I feel this every time I come here.
Money is quite nice. Uh?
Come.
What is this, pizza?
It's the Korean-style pizza I invented.
I took off all the greasy parts, so you'll like it.
I heard you met Chairman Kang.
Yes.
Did you beg, to spare you?
Yes.
Let's eat.
He's not going to forgive you easily. You know what kind of person he is.
The one who went to Paris last January.
It was me, not Seong Gu.
I forged Seong Gu's passport, and went there.
The one who used that card between January and February...
was me as well, in Seong Gu's name.
I can understand it all, hearing that.
Why did you?
This is good!
I went to Hokkaido together with Seong Gu, last Christmas.
We went up the mountains together,
Seong Gu trampled on something,
and fell off a cliff.
It was an accident.
Why didn't you tell the police? If you did...
I was scared.
And confused.
Back then, I thought nobody would believe me,
if I said Seong Gu's death was an accident.
Why did you think that?
Didn't you do that to become Kang Seong Gu yourself?
That could be the case.
Yes. I thought that more than once.
The urge to live like him, even for a brief moment...
I couldn't bury it.
So that's the problem.
How you can prove Seong Gu died by accident, falling off that cliff.
Looking at this objectively...
Even more than proving that you killed Seong Gu,
proving otherwise has become more difficult.
Help me.
Are you telling me to prove that?
Why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?
Trust me.
Who drove, back then?
When that girl, Su Jeong, fell off the car?
The one driving...
was me.
We were heading for the villa, with Seong Gu.
Inside the car, Seong Gu was piss drunk and tried to rape her.
So, in the midst of that, she fell off.
I can't say with certainty.
Since I was only driving.
Even though she was being abused, you never thought of stopping him?
Because I was the crocodile bird.
Whatever the crocodile is eating...
- I can only wait, and later... - So what you're telling me...
is that you don't know how she fell off?
Yes.
She kept screaming, so I looked in the rear mirror after moving it up.
I always drove with the rear mirror down, when I was with Seong Gu.
So, the moment you moved it up, it was too late for her already.
Yes.
What was Seong Gu doing then?
He was laughing.
Laughing?!
He was probably too drunk to realize what had just happened.
You were the one to call the cops, right?
Yes.
So you made yourself look like a witness,
and blamed the driving on Seong Gu?
Yes.
You turned things upside down.
Yes.
So things went like that.
Even then, I wanted to tell the truth. But...
Chairman Kang's face came to mind.
If Chairman Kang learned of this, he would have blamed it on you.
But, why are you telling me all this?
Even though you know I'm suspecting you.
The only one who can save me...
is you, that's why.
Both cases had no witness.
And the most important thing,
is that you're the only one left alive.
Let's think about it.
This is good.
What did you put in it?
Did anything come up?
Yes, I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
I called you in a rush myself.
Still, you have time left to read?
No. It's the book Woo Seok asked me to translate.
Ahh... Hye Jin.
Write a book yourself, why don't you?
What can someone like me write about?
Ohh... you know...
"Getting rid of cheating husbands."
Hey! That should sell!
Should we write one half each?
Let's do that.
Oh, right. Go, you said you had to do something.
Ahh... yes. I'm going.
Ohh! The flag?
Oh... look at me.
- I'm leaving. - Yeah.
Where are you now?
Are you done with work?
When do you finish?
No. I'm done at work.
I need to go somewhere, and I'll be back for dinner.
Okay.
No.
I just said, okay.
Jun Soo, wait.
Waiting for your children?
It will be hard to see them for a while.
What are you talking about?
I made Dong Won a little mad.
I posted photos of you on his company's webpage.
What photos?
Of you holding two men, abandoning one and...
Didn't I tell you?
That you have no right to interfere.
And what right do you have to put dibs on two men at once?
I wasn't able to tell you a single thing last time,
but I'll have to speak today.
I just need the kids.
Really?
Then, did I post those photos for nothing?
Did you really do that?
Yes.
Why?
Because I didn't want you to act like that with both.
I said all I need are my children.
What can you gain from separating me from them?!
Well, call it jealousy.
Anyway, today I feel good.
I first planned to come here,
and see you going back disappointed that you couldn't see them.
But that felt a little too cruel.
So I just came to tell you in advance.
Wait!
Your pupils are going to burst, Myung Ja.
You can't really do this, Jun Soo.
What if Da Ae kills herself over this?
Da Ae is not the type to do that.
How can you enrage someone so much?
I just came to see Da Ae. Guess it wasn't the time.
When she returns, tell her I came by.
Just wait a little longer!
Don't misunderstand, Myung Ja.
Da Ae and I are just friends.
How can two people who liked each other be friends?
Just be happy you're not going at each other's throats.
Is that right?
Last time we met, I told you we were even.
Do you remember what you told me then?
You laughed at me, saying I don't know what that pain means.
I thought about it, going home.
How much did I like Jun Soo?
Then, I asked myself.
What could the most important things to you be?
You can't have everything for yourself.
Dong Won is not going to give you the kids.
Because, if he does, you'll leave.
Like the wood cutter and the heavenly maiden.
So, if you don't want to lose the kids,
go beg Dong Won.
Or if you don't want to do that, give up on the kids.
Why are you standing there?
Is this someone else's home?
What are you doing here outside, waiting?
Na Ri and Na Rae weren't at the Hagwon (cram school).
Dong Won sent them to their aunt's.
Let's just go in. Let's have a talk.
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
Jun Soo came by.
What did he say?
Just... to tell you he came.
Now even just hearing his name makes you teary-eyed?
I keep liking him more and more, what can I do?
The more I try to give up,
it gets worse.
What the hell are you two people anyway?
Come in, Hye Jin.
Ajumma!
Let's have some dinner!
Ohhh! I can't take it anymore!
It's been shitting and pissing all day long!
Ahh... you're here, too.
You! Try to do that again, and I'll snap your neck myself!
Ajumma!
Cook the lemin soles I bought in shallow oil,
as Dong Won likes savory dishes.
Hye Jin, wait a sec!
Bok Sun.
Bok Sun, come here.
Bok Sun.
How have you been?
Ahh... just let me do it.
Don't you need to take its bones off first?
I got it.
I said give me the knife.
If you really want it, finish this by yourself.
Here.
See how it should be done.
Hye Jin! Are you going to have dinner here?
See?
Do it this way.
Ahh... the smell.
Hye Jin!
Where did she go?
Hye Jin! Are you going to have dinner here?
Hey, Hye Jin!
Dong Won said he's coming earlier!
See him once, at least.
Keep this up, and things will really fall apart!
Ehhh... that stubbornness.
By the way, why are you bringing the puppy with you?
Should I give you a lift?
Did she bring the puppy with her?
Why did you abuse it so bad in front of her?
Ehh... people have a hard time living already, what puppy?
Anyway, that woman keeps doing this just because she's too lucky.
Even if he cheated on me all day, I wish I had a rich husband like that.
Who said I don't?!
Bok Sun.
Sit here.
Mommy will feed you after she's done with dinner.
Who is it?
Delivery!
Did you wait long?
- What is all this? - Wait, there's more.
Wait for more.
And more.
Here.
Here! The most important box.
You're Bok Sun!
Nice to meet you. Kiss.
Hi, Mommy!
You're pretty?!
It's your kids' photo.
I'll leave it here. Look at it whenever you leave.
I'll make this place look prettier, tomorrow.
I wrote down everything we need.
I couldn't help it. I went to the mart to buy something...
and pretty stuff kept stealing my attention.
It's not an excuse. Look.
It's wonderful.
Do you feel nervous?
Staying with me.
My mind was filled with thoughts about the kids,
what do you think?
Okay. Just...
one more glass of wine, and I'll go.
Later.
I'm sorry.
Whenever I am with you,
the kids come to mind even more.
Why?
If you keep feeling like that because of me,
then tell me.
If I tell you, what will you do?
Is it really true?
I'm asking, when you meet me,
does uneasiness outweigh pleasure?
Does it?
It doesn't.
In this world...
If a man called Lee Jun Soo didn't exist,
I would have fallen into despair already.
Right?!
Nothing changed, right?
I'll go now.
You shouldn't cry at night.
I can hear you from where I live.
Then, I might break my promise.
Can't we just live together?
I hate staying apart for even a single second.
I'll just quietly stay next to you.
But... why do you keep telling me to leave?
Just a little...
A little longer and I'll go.
Can you understand, now?
That you made a mess of my entire life?
If she goes back to you, that woman called Yoon Hye Jin will die.
She won't live a life worth living.
I can't let that happen.
Even if that brings me death.
Just let her go.
Because the man who loves her more than life itself...
is sitting right here next to you.
I keep thinking about it.
Should I just let her go?
If I do, she'll probably be happier.
What did you do wrong, Daddy?
I'll live with you.
I hate being poor.
You know who he is, right?
Then, do you know this, too?
That Jun Soo and Ha Dong Won's wife went to Hokkaido together.
Didn't I tell you?
Whether you can see me or not,
I'm always next to you.
