(Episode 13)
You sent me an invitation.
Didn't you send me...
the flower basket to ask me to come?
(Ye Ji's Workshop)
What's this?
I'm not sure if I should leave it here.
Ye Ji turned pale...
and ran out as soon as she got this.
Who sent it to her?
Carrie? Carrie Jung.
Hello?
Where does she live?
All of a sudden? Why?
Ms. Oh just went to see her,
so send me the address right now!
What?
What do you want?
Didn't you want me...
to know about your relationship?
You're mistaken.
I didn't go there so that you'd know about us.
I went there to pick up my man.
Give him back to me.
If you leave him, he'll come to me.
You're not planning to keep him by your side, are you?
Even if I end things with him,
I doubt he'll go back to you.
Had Mother not brought him back here,
he would've still been my man.
Is it that hard for you to accept the fact that he abandoned you...
after all that you had done to nurse him?
According to what you said,
you'll only get your chance after I leave him.
So be patient.
I still haven't made up my mind.
Haven't you thought that dragging it for this long...
would only torment us all?
Did you forget about how you hid him for seven years...
and tormented...
our entire family?
He wanted that.
And you took advantage of that.
Then tell me what you want.
You could've ignored the flowers.
There must be a reason why you came all the way here.
What are you curious about?
How much pain...
was he in?
He thought he'd die.
How long was he hospitalized?
How many times did he undergo surgery?
He said he had stayed at a sanatorium before coming.
When did he move?
That's all...
that you're curious about?
I had been with your husband for years.
And yet, that's all you're asking?
I witnessed how he treated you.
He didn't like you in the past either.
He wasn't happy about being with you anyway,
so I'm not curious.
We didn't break up because he fell out of love.
He had a misunderstanding and had become jealous.
You're not confident.
You came to our wedding and the workshop.
I wondered how confident you were to do such a thing.
It was a tormenting thought.
But now, I know...
that you have no confidence whatsoever.
He didn't hide because he didn't love me.
Rather, it could've been because he did.
He loved me too much to come back.
It does cause me pain to know that he held onto your hand,
but I'm not jealous.
I do pity you, though.
Did he ever mention me to you?
I bet he never did.
He made sure...
that someone like you would never utter my name.
That's the type of man...
Jin is.
Do you love him too?
Fine. Let's say he never stopped loving you.
He may have been with me physically,
but let's say his heart still belonged to you.
So?
How anxious are you?
Can you cling onto him like I did?
He acts coldly toward me.
He's only determined to go back to you.
Would you have been able to let go of your pride,
visit his family,
and ask him to come back to you?
Your pride will never let you forgive him.
So just let me have him!
I don't care if he hates me. I'm used to it.
I still want to be with him.
Can you do that?
You can't.
You're a wench you stole my husband.
I can't reward you like that.
Be desperate all your life.
It was only a few years for me.
But for you, it'll be a lifetime.
Open up.
Open up right now!
Ms. Oh, you're in there, right?
Hwan is here.
Come on out.
Come on out!
At times,
you seem stronger than your husband.
Ms. Oh!
Are you sure she's here?
I don't know yet.
Please.
Hi.
Come inside. Let's talk.
If you have any questions, ask me.
Don't give in to her provocations.
I hope you won't visit us anymore.
I'll take care of my own matters,
so you should do the same.
Don't try to provoke me to get what you want.
I thought you had great self-respect,
but you just had a strong stomach.
You took someone who was mine for a decade long,
so why are you so brazen?
Shut it.
Don't you ever contact my wife again.
This is your last warning.
Don't mess with my family.
I won't stand still any longer.
If you have anything to say to her, go back.
I have nothing to say.
Since you're here already,
tell her everything and put an end to it!
She's only acting that way because you refused...
to be straight with her!
Hwan's watching.
So what?
Are you embarrassed?
Extremely.
So let's talk...
in private.
Ki Seok.
What's the point in confronting Carrie now?
We can just visit Jin right now.
She knew everything.
She knew he was alive yet deceived us!
I am enraged as well that she had kept it a secret,
but she must've had her reasons.
Let's just go to Jin.
I can't. How could I see his face again?
We probably hurt his feelings.
But he'll feel even more hurt if we don't visit him...
after he has finally come back.
Wait.
Was there something?
Is there something I don't know about?
Go see Jin. I won't let Carrie get away with this.
Ki Seok.
I'll drive you home.
- Stay out of this. - Do as you please.
If you don't want to go with him, you can ride my car.
Let's talk more at home.
Forget it.
I have to go back to the workshop, so you guys can leave too.
Ye Ji.
Jin.
How could this happen to you?
Ki Seok.
(Jinhwan A and C)
How was the interrogation?
It was insulting.
I refuse to do it ever again.
Just say that I did it.
Tell them I took the money to search for Jin.
I'll agree to get interrogated.
I mean it.
I'll deal with the prosecution.
You protect the company.
Are you going to go behind bars instead of me?
If I can, yes.
Don't worry and let me handle it.
I can do it.
Thanks for the offer,
but I'll see what my attorneys can do.
I'm being serious.
I get it.
Mr. Seo...
is amazing.
Every man should be like this.
Who do you think Jin and Hwan take after?
They all learned it from their dad.
(Jinhwan A and C)
We thought you were dead,
and Ki Seok became a wreck.
He kept getting disqualified during the preliminaries...
and then got into gambling.
There were rumors that he fled to Southeast Asia.
And then, he reappeared today?
He must've heard about you from someone.
He kept asking me questions.
I told him we should visit you,
but he kept wanting to confront Carrie.
I understand that he felt guilty...
after parting ways with you.
But his level of guilt was more than normal.
Do you know where he is?
Bring him here if you can reach him.
It's a bit strange, right?
(Ye Ji's Workshop)
Mom.
Thank you for the rice cakes.
Here.
I'll take it.
Go on in. I'll go now.
You should...
take a look inside.
Yes, you should. Take a look at her work.
This way.
You should make a cup next time.
Make matching cups with Hwan.
Matching cups?
I think he'll like it.
Hey.
Was everything okay?
Yes, a few customers came to take a look.
Two people asked about our one-day class...
and registered.
- We need to talk. - What?
Excuse me.
She's running this workshop with me.
She's my mom.
Hello, my name is Lee So Won.
I'm her senior from university.
Hello.
If it wasn't for her,
I wouldn't have been able to graduate.
She gave me her scholarship and got me part-time jobs as well.
Not at all. Now, I'm making money thanks to her.
Don't say that.
You can't wrap up here by yourself, right?
Since your mom's here, I'll leave first.
Okay, I'll close down.
Goodbye.
Have a great time.
Okay, thank you.
Snap out of it.
You know you're crossing the line, right?
There's a family issue right now.
I'm sure it's about Ye Ji.
I can understand what happened in the past.
I respect the memories you have.
But not this.
Don't you know you shouldn't be like this?
What did I do?
Are you serious?
If it's about her, you just can't ignore it.
Why did you ask me out?
To hide your true feelings?
Did you take advantage of me?
I said I'd try.
I asked you to give me time.
Is this you trying?
If you can't let go of her, you'll only become a lunatic.
This is Korea.
Even in the U.S, you'd be scorned for this.
Don't turn me into a bad guy.
You just crossed the line.
You're the one who did.
Do you think this is unfair?
Do you swear that you're innocent?
Then prove it.
Prove that it's me that you like and not her.
Say that I'm the one you want.
Follow me.
This is pretty.
Mom, do you need anything?
Do you want anything?
I could give you teacups if you like to drink tea.
They're too precious to use.
I just want to look at them.
You always liked to draw ever since you were little.
You don't think we could live together, do you?
I shouldn't live with you,
right?
What's going on?
Is it difficult to take care of your husband?
Is he giving you a hard time?
There's another woman.
I can't forgive him.
I refuse to.
He deceived me.
That scumbag.
He had tormented you for years while he was missing.
To make matters worse, he even cheated on you?
He looked down on you for not having any parents.
He knew you had no home to return to...
or a family member who'd cause a fuss about this.
It's not like that.
Are you going to divorce him?
But still, we won't be able to live together.
You and I...
have become strangers for a long time.
Don't tell the others...
that I'm your mom either.
A divorce won't ruin your life.
It won't.
You'll find another man...
and get married again.
Even then,
I shouldn't be in your life.
I just...
If you can't live with him, get divorced,
and live by yourself.
Don't hope to live your life depending on others.
Stand tall all alone.
(Ye Ji's Workshop)
- Amber. - Shut up.
Why? Can't you do it?
If you aren't taking advantage of me, prove it.
It's true that...
I took advantage of you.
Yes.
I took advantage of you.
But I wanted to give us a try. That wasn't a lie.
I wanted to like you.
I'd rather have you say you hate me.
You wanted to like me?
That makes me feel more miserable.
Go back.
Dump me.
You... You jerk.
You're too good of a person to get used and rejected...
by a guy like me.
Just forget everything.
Forget everything.
What's going on?
Why did you come to Seoul?
I said I never wanted to see you again!
Jin was alive all along.
You did that to him and hid him away.
What have you done to him?
You should be grateful that he's alive.
You didn't end up murdering anyone.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because you obviously can't handle this.
I lived in agony thinking that Jin died.
You thought I couldn't handle this?
Try to say something that makes some sense.
It was an accident.
You made me do it.
Stop talking nonsense and get out of here.
I'm guessing you came back after you ran out of money.
Fine. I'll let you fool me one last time.
The two brothers saw me.
Jin and Hwan caught me.
Did you tell them?
No.
I ran away as soon as I saw them. I ran away with all my might.
Then forget about it.
You can't stay here.
I'll prepare something for you. Give me a second.
Will it be over once I disappear?
Do you think everything will be fine once I go off the grid?
Aren't you frightened?
Ever since...
that day,
I've never had a night of sleep in peace.
Get a hold on yourself.
It's fine as long as we aren't caught.
If we don't let anyone catch us,
no one will know.
The summons arrived.
You'll also have to get questioned by the prosecution.
Okay.
Jin.
Try to stop taking that drug.
I'll manage.
Please find Ki Seok's whereabouts.
Why couldn't it be me?
You completely broke down before her...
and held her hand to get back up.
Why did you pretend like you were dead to me?
I didn't want to be abandoned.
If I came back like this...
only to get abandoned by you,
that would've been the end of my life.
We're a married couple.
I'm your wife.
My mother was also married to my father.
I'm different from her.
I loved you.
She also loved...
him,
only while he was healthy.
And?
You got scared I'll leave you, so you held onto a different woman.
Do you think everything is fine now?
What I can't stand is...
not that you lost your legs,
but that you were with another woman.
I couldn't be considered a human.
I was a beast in its deathbed.
I didn't want you...
to see that beast.
What about me?
If this happens to me, should I hide too?
You don't have to do that.
I said I'll protect you.
I can handle this.
You can't handle something that happened to you.
How can you protect me?
I'll get back up.
I'll make sure I walk again.
I'll stand with confidence once again.
That isn't...
what I want.
You can't even accept what happened between me and my mom.
If you make your legs work again by taking drugs you shouldn't take,
do you think that'll cover up everything else?
You won't come down here,
so I wanted to go up.
I wanted to stand up again...
even if doing that is what it takes.
If that drug shows any side effects, you'll become a bigger mess.
You can't take that drug.
This isn't enough for anyone.
Don't think of this lightly just because it's tiny.
It's pretty strong.
You're late.
Where's Jin?
In his room.
Is something going on?
I found out...
that I can be a wicked jerk...
to someone else.
Amber and I...
broke up.
To someone who sincerely loves me,
what I did was absolutely cruel.
And a person's heart...
can't be changed just by trying hard.
I realized these things.
It must be a painful night.
That's why I felt bad for leaving her alone,
but if I got worried,
I thought it'd be harder for her.
Not for Amber.
You lost a friend.
That's also breaking up.
Go back to the U.S.
Forget everything and go back.
I'm not going to stay in touch with you anymore.
It was a lie...
when I told you that it's illegal...
for us to drink when we were on that beach in Jeju.
I was teasing you.
(Jinhwan A and C)
Come in and take a seat.
You could've just come home.
Why did you call me to your office?
Right, would it have been difficult for you to make a move?
(Jinhwan A and C)
Did you call me here to scold me?
What did your wife say?
Did she make a scene?
What happened to Ki Seok?
Didn't you organize his team?
Why do I hear rumors about how he's ruined?
And he ran away when he saw me.
He has always been feeble-minded.
I guess he got tormented when you went missing.
He got into gambling.
In the end, his team got disbanded, and he left the industry.
What was he so tormented about?
If he hadn't betrayed you,
you wouldn't have had to move to a different team,
and you wouldn't have competed in that race.
I guess he thought he started everything.
You don't have to mind him.
Everyone has their life to handle.
It looked like he was on his way to see you.
Really?
I haven't seen him.
He calls me from time to time when he runs out of money.
I haven't seen him for a while,
but I guess he ran out once again.
Back when I was a racer,
I liked you. It's true.
You seemed very charming in how assertive you are,
and I also thought we'd be a great match...
because you were never pretentious.
We're still a great match.
You said you love me,
but you never let go of your ties with Chairman Bang.
Then you returned to Korea quietly...
and have been destroying our company.
That's...
When I was ruined, I took your hand.
But I regret it now.
And I'm sorry...
for taking advantage of you.
Thank you for everything,
and I apologize.
I gave this a thought...
and realized I had been nothing but rude to you.
I got angry over how you were seeing your sponsor...
leaving me on the side,
so I treated you like garbage.
And I completely disregarded the shock you would've been in...
when I got married.
Yet when you reached out to look after me in the U.S.,
I didn't turn you down.
Why are you suddenly like this?
Just condemn me instead.
I can't...
let go of Ye Ji.
When you suddenly went back to Korea...
Yes, I was upset.
But it didn't torture me.
"I see. This is the end. Yes. This is how it ought to be."
I was able to give up easily.
But that wasn't the end.
But when I think about how Ye Ji might leave me,
I can't breathe.
I feel like I'm dying.
You were perfectly fine without her when you were with me.
I was practically a corpse.
I came back to life after seeing Ye Ji again.
And I want to live now.
I want to stand up and run.
I want to...
live again.
What about me?
What about all those years I sacrificed for you?
Tell me what you want.
Whatever it is,
I will compensate you.
No.
I will compensate you.
I hope you like my present.
I want this...
to be the last time we see each other.
Get the sponsorship from Chairman Bang.
Cut ties with me.
And live your own life.
This is my life.
And this won't be the last time we see each other.
Five percent?
To be precise, it's 5.3 percent.
I'm already branded as a traitor.
I must win for me to save face.
I'm going to get my circle and Carrie to be on the board.
I want you to wait a bit.
Give us some time to pull out our red carpet for you.
Thank you, sir.
Don't let your guard down.
Try to get more people on your side.
Yes, sir. You can trust me.
Darn it.
You startled me.
What brings you here?
You're not answering your phone or returning my texts.
I was out of options. I had to come see you in person.
Did you have someone tail me?
I called your home.
When I asked your wife,
she said you were having dinner here.
Gosh. That darn woman.
Give up now.
Mr. Seo is waiting.
He said he can persuade his mother.
I know my sister very well.
She's not the type to take me back.
She'll lure me to come back, but she'll just crush me.
Relay this message to her. Tell her we're not family anymore.
Once you turn your family away, they become...
worse than strangers.
Ye Ji found out the truth?
I'm sorry.
We'd kept the secret for years and promised to keep that a secret.
But she found out in the end.
She's a smart girl, so she figured it out quickly.
My wife couldn't lie to her and ended up telling her the truth.
She still should have said it wasn't true.
She should have said she didn't know anything.
I'm sorry.
You don't think we could live together, do you?
I shouldn't live with you,
right?
Hello...
Hi.
Your workshop...
is cute.
Are you here as a customer?
Well, that too.
I guess you don't have any time...
to take care of your husband as you're so busy with your career.
It's none of your business.
Did you know his company is at risk?
Did you change your plan?
Because Jin wouldn't even budge?
Your prenuptial agreement...
put you at a big disadvantage.
If his mother asks you to leave, you would have to leave.
Weren't you too naive?
Or were you that eager to get married so that you were willing...
to agree to that insulting agreement?
You boasted your relationship as if it's the love of the century.
But it was a mere business.
And an unfavorable business at that.
How do you know that?
Take a guess.
How do I know that?
It was a very simple game where I only had...
to win over his mother.
One word from her, and you're out.
Even so, Jin won't go to you.
Even at the expense of his company?
Right.
Jin might choose you over the company.
But you know that his mother would choose otherwise.
She will protect the company even if she has to cut a deal with me.
I could have surprised you with my plan.
But I thought doing that twice was a bit petty of me.
I'm here to give you a warning.
Fine.
Go ahead.
I don't care what happens to the company.
It wasn't mine anyway. You can have it.
The company had never been a part of our lives.
Jin and I can live with his father just like before.
I don't care if you drive the company to the ground with her.
Nothing has changed for me.
You're more selfish than I thought.
He can't even walk by himself.
And you're going to take away his career now?
Can Jin...
cope with that?
He lived in hiding for seven years because he was too proud...
to show his injury to you.
Don't worry.
I'll deal with that.
Whether he's miserable or happy, that's our life...
in which you have no place.
(Geonam Ceramics)
I could have brought this to you.
You didn't have to come this far. I know you're busy.
I wanted to see your faces.
I need yours as well.
Go and bring it.
You knew...
about that woman, right?
Can you be more interested in the company instead?
You know that we're in a crisis now.
Why do you run the company?
Isn't it to protect our family?
Isn't Ms. Oh part of our family?
- Hwan. - Why are you so upset?
This is between Jin and her.
Why are you intervening in their marriage?
Are you her spokesperson?
You were cold toward Dad too.
This is not the time to bring that up.
Did you know?
If one person neglects one's responsibility,
someone else is bound to take that responsibility.
Why are you so worked up?
If you want to say something,
calm down and talk about it when you're ready.
You should just divorce him,
so he could meet someone else.
You live however you want,
but why are you making Dad live all by himself?
That was his decision.
Then, you must make a decision too.
Not a decision for yourself.
Make a decision for Dad.
You should go now.
You shouldn't have treated Ms. Oh like that.
You were worried that Dad might remarry if he didn't have anyone,
so you chained her to be a wife without her husband.
That was her choice.
And that choice worked out so well for you.
You and Jin are the same.
You're selfish...
and awful.
I...
What's wrong with him? Is he on drugs?
That woman knew about the prenuptial agreement I signed.
I didn't know you were on her side.
I'm on no one's side.
I only accept the offer when it is beneficial to me.
Unfortunately for you, you don't have any cards to play.
I'm his wife and your daughter-in-law.
- I'm part of the family. - Did you forget...
you promised to leave...
if I were to ask you?
I only signed as I didn't have a choice.
It was either packing up my stuff and leaving this town...
or signing the agreement and getting married.
Those were the choices I had.
And do you think your choices are different now?
You still don't have a lot of choices.
Do you think I let you stay because I like you?
It was because I hated her more than I hated you.
This is a difficult time. I want you to cooperate.
I need her more now.
That's not my concern.
I've done enough.
I waited to hear from him when he was gone.
I lived for this family.
But do you still not consider me as your family?
Am I someone you can throw away whenever you want?
It might hurt to accept it,
but that is the reality.
Then, why would I help you?
You have a lot of weaknesses.
Namely, your mother.
She sacrificed herself to protect her child.
Do not insult her.
I want you to treat her with respect as your in-law.
I can't believe you.
You're bringing a criminal into our family now?
Mother.
Don't put up with her.
Hwan.
What do you want to protect?
Just leave them.
Hwan.
You came here to be happy.
You didn't come here to be miserable like this.
Hwan.
You still haven't given up on her?
Do you think our crisis is your chance?
I told you to move out.
Do not covet your sister-in-law.
Do you have the right to say that?
Hwan.
What's going on here?
You guys...
What is this about?
Who covets whom?
Are you crazy?
Since when did Hwan have feelings for her?
When Jin was away?
But he just returned to Korea too.
It was when he was in high school.
He liked Ye Ji when she was his student teacher.
It was puppy love. He was young.
You let her marry Jin...
when you knew everything?
Have you lost your mind?
It's not what you think.
You know, it's just a crush you have on a teacher.
I knew about it too.
Hwan came to his senses later on...
and treated her as his sister-in-law.
Do you think I'm a fool?
I could tell things were serious between them. It was...
Hwan just doesn't like me.
When Carrie came to our house,
he didn't like how his favorite teacher got hurt.
He won't cross the line.
You're the biggest problem!
You should go back to Seoul today.
We'll sort this out on our own.
Do you think this can be sorted out?
Do you remember this spot?
A long time, you told me...
not to date your brother.
You do remember.
Should I...
have listened to you that night?
Did your brother...
even love me?
And did I...
love your brother?
Jin...
loves you.
But he's weak.
When he's having a hard time,
he always distances himself from other people.
When the three of us went hiking,
my father got hurt.
Ever since then, he has never stayed home.
And then, he met you...
and came back.
He left home...
even after marrying me because he wasn't happy.
Perhaps,
I just wanted to have a family.
Coming home after riding the rail bike,
Father, Jin, and you...
All three of you asked me to be your family.
My heart was filled with such warm feelings,
so I couldn't turn it down.
I wanted to accept you.
I wanted to be one of you.
I didn't want to be alone...
ever again.
I'll talk to my mother.
I'll tell her that I was mad at Jin because of that woman.
I'll talk to her.
You must choose.
If you're going to forgive Jin,
I can explain to my mother or lie to her...
100 times if I have to.
I will make sure...
that she never comes to our house for the rest of your life.
But if you're going to leave,
don't mind anything.
Don't look back.
Don't worry about others.
Only think about yourself.
And leave.
If I divorce your brother,
what about Father?
What about you?
Then, I'll be alone all over again.
Divorcing Jin means...
I have to cut off all of his family too.
But it's not...
that easy.
(Jin)
Mom left.
You can bring Ye Ji back.
Give me some time.
I need some time to think alone.
You're in there, aren't you?
I missed you.
He and I shared more memories than yours that lasted...
only a couple of months.
I spent a decade...
with Jin.
I didn't even know if I'd make it.
Everything was so uncertain.
When I had woken up, she was in front of me.
I just grabbed onto whoever's hand was there.
Your pride will never let you forgive him.
I don't care if he hates me. I'm used to it.
I still want to be with him.
Can you do that?
You can't.
You won't come down here,
so I wanted to go up.
I wanted to stand up again...
even if doing that is what it takes.
Don't worry about my mom.
I explained everything, and I'll deal with her.
You don't have to talk to her.
I was going to tell you...
when you got better...
and the company was stable,
but I can't do this.
- No. - Living in this house...
and spending time with you...
doesn't make me happy anymore.
It'll get better. Things will be fine.
Give me a little more time.
I want...
to stop trying.
Ye Ji.
I'm exhausted.
I got exhausted waiting for you, who wouldn't return.
I got exhausted walking on thin ice when you returned as a wreck.
And I got exhausted after I finally found out...
about your betrayal.
The short and passionate moment...
when I was loved...
seems like a dream and a lie.
This is just the beginning.
It'll come back to us.
Were we...
ever truly in love?
Was that love?
Let me go.
I will also...
let you go.
Ye Ji. No.
Don't go.
- Excuse me. Please make way. - Was it an accident?
- I think she got stabbed. - Really?
Jin. Hey, Jin.
- Excuse me. All of you over there. - Carrie...
- Please move aside. - Ki...
- Ki Seok stabbed Carrie. - Move to the side of the street.
Head down.
Jin.
Carrie... What if Carrie dies?
What are you talking about?
Calm down and tell me what's going on.
Who's dying?
Ki Seok?
Carrie?
(When I Was The Most Beautiful)
What will I do with her?
My last seven years.
And you, whom I lost in that time.
Don't get hopeful about our relationship.
Will you really divorce him?
You can always leave.
You don't have to come back.
Can you handle this?
Don't do anything. It can't happen.
I want to ask you something.
It's true that I like Ms. Oh.
Are you not going to forgive me?
