Hit me! Don't take mercy, and hit me!
I have plenty of strength left to defeat you!
Hit me, you bastard!
Shall I make your face black and blue?
You can't change Yoon Hye Jin's mind that way.
What will you accomplish by running to her with your medal-like wounds?!
Let's... Let's take this to the end.
Do you really want to die?!
You'll wreck the car!
Talk it over as adults.
Episode 23
Do you want to hold on to Hye Jin?
If you really want to hold on to her, beg her.
Until she comes around.
It might take a year.
Or even longer than that.
The wounds are that deep.
Do you know that?
There's no need to resent me.
When I found out that you'd ruined Da Ae, I wanted to kill you.
You're the one who butted into I and Da Ae's relationship.
You can't say that.
You ruined Da Ae with money for three years,
and now you're placing the blame on her.
If you really like Da Ae,
you should be able to get over our relationship.
How can a guy like you who can't even forgive that...!
If Hye Jin comes around...
If she goes back home...
Then don't say anything, and live quietly with her forever.
If Hye Jin hadn't met me in Hokkaido, she might have died.
It's the same for me, too.
So you don't need forgiveness.
I can love Yoon Hye Jin, no matter what kind of person she is.
It doesn't matter even if she's the dirtiest woman in the world.
And it doesn't matter if she's repulsive.
It doesn't matter if she wears the mask of a monster.
I can love her.
If you can love her as much as I do, then go beg her.
You're the one who needs to ask for forgiveness.
And don't think about forgiving her. You have no right!
You can't... live in this world with only love.
There are plenty of more important things!
That's why you should let go of Hye Jin.
Even if the heavens fall, you won't change.
What are you going to do by bringing her home?!
You're going to torture her for the rest of your life.
You know that, so why are you letting her go?
When you love her so much?
Because I love her.
You love her, so why?!
Because I love her.
I love her. I love her!
Leaving her because he loves her?
That's what you say once the carnal desires have cooled off.
"We loved each other, so we broke up."
Where did it go wrong? My life...
Who is it?
I have something to tell you.
Were you sleeping?
Wait just a moment.
Didn't even buy any beer.
Keeping your distance from your husband?
You went in to change?
Shall I give you something to drink?
The fridge is empty.
I'll buy it for you.
It's gross? It means you get disgusted just by my touch.
Don't do this.
Look me in the face.
I just came from meeting with that guy.
On my way home, I just couldn't endure it.
It's like the roles have been switched.
A guy who's fit to get hit by me yelled even louder than me.
Don't you think that you've gone crazy?
Who were you planning on seeing in your sleep clothes?
Seeing as you ran into your room to change, it must not be me.
Is that all you can imagine?
Then what should I imagine?!
A wife is disgusted at her husband's touch!
That's right. It's not the touch of love, is that it?
Out of anger, I went back and fought with him again.
There's nothing to be startled about. I can't equal him in physical strength.
For every punch I was taking, your face came to mind.
Honestly, I was planning on seeing you after getting beaten up by him.
Because I wanted to be in your favor.
"What will she look like when she sees me?"
I'm the foolish one.
I'll wait. Not right now...
I don't know what's going on, either.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
I changed my plans. It seemed better that way.
Can't you take me with you?
I'm leaving with Da Ae.
What about me? What am I supposed to do?
If we're fated to, let's meet in the next life.
Don't hang up, Jun Soo.
Wait, Jun Soo!
The phone of the customer you are calling has been turned off.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Da Ae.
I was looking over how much we have left in stock, and I got this amount of money.
Da Ae, come and see.
You calculate it all, and pay me back later.
We need to calculate it accurately.
Will you send the funds to Paris for me when they're deposited in the bank?
Are you going to stay there permanently?
I'll have to stay there about 2-3 years.
That way, Jun Soo won't be able to change his mind.
Jun Soo?
Listen carefully. I changed it to a plane for tomorrow morning.
Let's meet at the airport.
If I can't come, you leave first.
I'll follow you in 2-3 days.
You're not lying, right? You're not sending me off and...
Listen carefully!
When you get to Paris, find a hotel near an opera house.
It's a small hotel named Du France.
You're coming, right, Jun Soo?
What did he say? You can't leave together?
That's not it. He said we should leave tomorrow.
That's good.
Da Ae, leave quickly, before he changes his mind.
I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow!
Even if you send people after me, I'm not going to run!!
But remember one thing.
Don't hurt anyone close to me.
This game is between me and you!
So don't hurt the people around me!
If you break this promise, then this game will end there.
Then I'll reveal exactly what kind of person Seong Gu was.
You know that would be the same as killing Seong Gu twice.
I'll wait! Send away your hunters!
What's wrong with your face? Did you have a fight?
What about the kids?
I sent them to bed early.
I'm going to wake them up early and take them to Hye Jin.
And I'm going to the airport.
I have things to talk over with Hye Jin, so I'll take the kids to her.
There's no need. I'll take them, so you just go to the airport.
If you talk like that, it makes me feel sad.
I want you and Hye Jin to turn out well better than anyone else.
That's why I stalled my affairs in Tokyo and stayed here.
How shall I compensate you?
Oh my! How can you say that?!
I told you. Na Ri's mom is coming home soon.
I stayed here this long due to Hye Jin's request. Ask her yourself.
Send Aoki my greetings.
Do you think I'm doing this because I like you?!
How ridiculous!
How long will you stay there?
I told you that it'll be a long time.
Do you think Chairman Kang will forget easily?
How many times do I have to tell you? I can't live here!
You said it was an accident that he died.
Isn't it?
Ha Dong Won came to see me.
He said he'd forgive you if you went back home.
Did I say I wanted his forgiveness?
Go back home.
Don't ruin your life because of one cheating incident.
Cheating?
How well do you know me?
We first met in Hokkaido.
Two people with different life paths met by chance.
We were headed in different directions anyway, so it just happened.
It was my mistake.
I had erased everything on the plane back to Seoul.
I had forgotten you completely.
I never imagined that we'd meet again like this.
Yes, I followed you like a stalker.
I couldn't forget about our sexual liaison.
Every time I thought about that moment, I couldn't breathe.
It's still fine.
Even if you say it was just lust.
So let's just forget everything.
Ha Dong Won's right.
It was all lust packaged as love.
I told you, it's still fine.
You can get a night of passion anywhere you like.
Go out onto the streets right now.
The world is full of those cheap desires.
But do you think anyone will admit that?
They'd say that they were thirsty for love.
It's the same for us.
We weren't thirsty for love.
We just needed someone to dispel the loneliness of one night.
Go back. Go back!
It doesn't matter, no matter what you say.
Because I know why you're leaving.
You said we should die together, right?
I'm not afraid.
I said I met you because I wanted to live, right?
I wanted to live for the first time because of you.
What do you want me to do?
I flew all the way up to the sky.
Where do you want me to fall?
Hold me.
I don't want to think about anything right now.
Okay. Let's die together. We just need to die!
Just kill me instead. I can't live alone.
Kill me before you go!
Why did you call me at this time of night?
I thought that your calculations were wrong.
What calculations?
Think about it. You were right.
We saw each other because we needed each other,
but I acted like I was the lone victim.
And so?
The contract for the house I'm living in now.
The car keys.
And instead of the store's deposit, my personal savings.
You're fooling around.
It makes me uncomfortable, that's why.
You're leaving for Paris?
Yes.
With Lee Jun Soo?
Isn't it a happy ending?
I leave with Jun Soo, and you get to hold on to your wife.
Is that wrong?
Is it your plan to abandon her in the end?
No. I need to live with my wife until the end.
It'll hurt your pride.
It's true. You won't be able to forget about her cheating.
I won't forget.
What kind of crazy guy would forget that?
Your calculation methods are really complicated.
It isn't complicated.
In one hand, I hold the whip of fury.
In the other, I hold the carrot of forgiveness.
It's like sitting on top of a horse.
You're very cruel, Mr. Ha Dong Won.
It's more compassionate to abandon her?
What?
Sometimes, I thought it'd be nice if your wife and Jun Soo could be happy.
People like us, who can live without love...
but who believe people who go crazy over love throw us into danger,
could never understand.
But Yoon Hye Jin and Jun Soo,
who lived each day like it was a hundred years, looked happy. I felt envious.
Then...
Why are you leaving with that guy?
And leaving behind this world where having money will solve all your problems.
I'm leaving now.
Call me. Anytime.
If you need me.
What?
It occurred to me that I may need to.
In a way, you're a very convenient and comfortable ahjussi.
Da Ae.
What did Ha Dong Won's face look like when you gave him the car keys and money?
It looked like he was chewing on a rotten cucumber, right?
You should feel refreshed after that.
I'm wondering what I'll do if Jun Soo doesn't come to the airport.
He'll come. Don't worry.
What will you do if he doesn't?
Yeah, if he doesn't come, just forget him.
What are you worried about?
You're young, and pretty...
I'll probably meet someone else. Isn't that right, Eonni?
Of course. Fighting!
Are you leaving?
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about?
That I, someone who has no right to hold onto you...
You think I want to hear that?
I told you. That I have no confidence in making you happy.
I have no confidence.
I don't know why I thought that.
This isn't what you want.
You just want someone to be by your side.
I'm not blaming you for using me that way.
I did that, too.
After all, I didn't go to Otaru to meet Lee Jun Soo.
That's right. We should've ended it there.
Be happy.
With Da Ae.
Don't leave!
Wait just a little longer.
I still have something left to say!
I'll tell you why I have to leave.
I don't want to leave you, either!
Listen to me. I can't break up this way.
I killed Seong Gu.
He didn't commit suicide.
Seong Gu...
I killed him.
Hello?
Yeah, yeah, Kim Hyung.
No.
I drank a few glasses of alcohol in the evening.
Maybe it's because of the weather, but I couldn't control myself.
Yeah, I should.
I should, but I live alone. What should I live for then?
Yeah.
Yeah. Did Kang Seong Gu's autopsy results come out?
And what was it?
Yeah, yeah.
So it was either an accident or suicide?
It wasn't murder?
No, no, I'm sure it's right.
Okay, then send me the autopsy results.
I need to lift the false suspicions.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks.
If so... Lee Jun Soo. Lee Jun Soo.
Lee Jun Soo. Lee Jun Soo.
The customer you are calling has his/her phone off...
Is he sleeping already?
Say it again.
You're lying. You're not that kind of person!
I could endure everything else.
Seong Gu...
He enjoyed watching me suffer by prodding my weak spot.
Still, I never revealed that I hated it. Instead, I did as Seong Gu wanted,
and pretended to be more miserable than I was, to make him happy.
Because I'm the crocodile bird.
I can only fill my stomach...
by entertaining the crocodile.
Using Su Jeong to tie Seong Gu to a difficult situation...
was my first victory against him.
Watching Seong Gu, who was running away because he thought he'd killed Su Jeong,
was so much fun.
Seong Gu grew crazier and crazier.
I snatched the money that Chief Kang sent him, and didn't send it on to him.
Seong Gu fell deeper into despair.
Seong Gu couldn't last a day without women or alcohol.
It happened when I believed that my plans were nearly complete.
Seong Gu...
began to completely shake me.
You've waited for this chance a long time, right?
Just like your sister, who talked big like she was a virgin...
Shut up.
I told you.
I can forgive you for everything else but not for insulting my sister.
Are you that embarrassed? Of your sister?
Stop it!
Step on me all you want.
All I am is a dirty fool who bites rotten flesh out of a crocodile's teeth.
Every time you insult me, I feel delight.
That's right. I need your money! I'll do everything you ask me!
If I can just endure you, I'll be happy.
But!
Not my sister.
My sister...
is my final ounce of pride.
Be careful.
Don't mess with my last shred of pride!
Seong Gu!
Let go. Why are you so gutless?
You hate me! Enough to kill me!
Let go of my hand. Then you'll obtain everything you want.
Let go. Let go of my hand!!
If you do, you'll become me!
You'll become the real Kang Seong Gu! You'll live my life!
Seong Gu. Don't let go of my hand. No!
Seong Gu... Seong Gu! Seong Gu!
Seong Gu... Seong Gu! Seong Gu!!
That wasn't your fault.
He let go of your hand.
If he hadn't, he could've lived. But he chose death.
It's not like that.
I killed Seong Gu!
It still doesn't matter.
Even if you killed someone.
That's why you're leaving.
Because you believe that you killed him.
That's right. You believe that, Jun Soo.
You're tortured by the guilt of not being able to save him.
Listen to me carefully, Jun Soo.
That's not your fault.
He's a bad person.
He bothers you even after death.
It was his plan, Jun Soo...
No, Jun Soo!
Don't do that, Jun Soo, please!
Seong Gu's foot slipped, and he fell over the cliff.
I grabbed onto Seong Gu's hand.
Seong Gu... struggled to hold onto my hand.
It's not your fault that Su Jeong fell out of the car.
You were drunk, and fell asleep as soon as you entered the car.
I'm the one who was driving.
Looking at the Seong Gu who was looking at me in terror...
It felt so satisfying.
Save me. Save me, please.
It'd be horrible, right? To die while under false suspicions.
I always wanted to be you! And you always enjoyed that.
It's my turn now.
Yes.
I killed Seong Gu.
If the chance came my way again, I wouldn't hesitate.
The next time too, I would let go of his hand again.
Hong Da Ae... Hong Da Ae...
How nice. Wall images.
Hello?
I'm sorry for calling you so late. I'm Park Byeong Shik.
It's not that.
I tried to call Lee Jun Soo, but his phone was off.
What is it?
Paris?
We're leaving tomorrow morning.
Are you leaving with Lee Jun Soo?
Can't I?
Of course you can.
It's nothing important. I just have something to tell him.
Tell me. We're meeting at the airport, so I'll tell him.
So tell him.
That suspicion has been lifted, so he can leave in peace.
Just tell him that.
So Jun Soo's innocence is proven?
That's right.
Thank you, Ahjussi. I'll be sure to pay you back.
Done.
Let's sleep.
I'll have to drink afterwards.
Let's sleep.
Eonni! Wake up! Wake up!
Really! Really! What?!
Jun Soo's innocence has been proven.
I was worried he wouldn't be able to come to the airport,
but now I'm relieved.
Then unpack, quickly.
What?
It's true.
Jun Soo's leaving for Paris with you because of Seong Gu's father.
The misunderstanding is gone, so what does he need to run away for now?
Yes, say that. You'll get punished, Eonni.
Be careful when walking the streets.
You might die from a lightning bolt from heaven.
It'll be pointless to go to the airport.
Do you think Jun Soo will abandon that woman and run away with you?
That's right. Sprinkle your vinegar. Spread your ashes.
If you're that curious, go and ask Jun Soo if he'll go or not.
Why did that ahjussi tell you this now?
He should've told you after the plane had left.
So you weren't sleeping. I can sit, right?
I'm sorry for getting angry at you earlier.
I got riled up without meaning to.
It's because you were being heartless, without recognizing my feelings...
Why are you laughing?
Am I funny to you?
That's right. At the bar in Shinjuku, when you and Hye Jin first met...
My heart dropped.
Ah, really.
Still, I feigned congratulating her.
From there onwards, destiny changed.
You didn't know, right? That I liked you?
That's right. Hye Jin's cleverer than me and pretends to be pure.
Give me a drink, too.
People say that you can never understand women.
Just like an onion, no matter how much you peel them,
you can't see into the inside of women's hearts.
That's not true, Dong Won. Not all women are like that.
Women like me, you can see inside us by just peeling off one layer.
Only Hye Jin's like that. There are no women like her nowadays.
What's wrong, Dong Won?
There are times when I'm envious of Yoon Hye Jin.
What are you envious of?
I'm envious that she can go crazy over love.
Honestly... How can that become possible?
I'll pour it for you.
After Seong Gu fell,
I came down mindlessly from the mountain.
After running mindlessly like that, I thought of Seong Gu.
"He might still be alive."
But... I couldn't go back.
At the thought that he might be alive, I felt fear.
I started running again.
That's right.
I... would kill Seong Gu again.
Long before that happened,
I killed Seong Gu again and again in my heart.
Whether I let go of his hand,
or Seong Gu let go of my hand...
That has no meaning.
I'm going to run away. I'm going to Paris.
If I can forget Seong Gu, I'll go anywhere at all.
What about me?
Where should I go to forget you?
I told you, you can't.
You can't abandon me.
