You've really never fallen for anyone?
You told me to live decently, but whenever I ask what you meant by that,
you never answer me.
I investigated it, but there was no evidence.
Nothing other than being a simple accident.
You could forgive me that much.
Did I cheat on you because I was crazy for her?
When separated, people fall apart.
Save for the kids, what was ever left binding us?
I know it all, that you're trying to run away...
with the pretense of looking for Kang Seong Gu.
Scissors, stone, paper!
Haha! I won!
Episode 12
Scissors, stone, paper!
Won again.
Scissors, stone, paper!
- Scissors, stone, paper! - Scissors, stone, paper!
Scissors, stone, paper!
I came to say goodbye.
We probably won't see each other for a while.
Really?
Maybe...
we might never see each other again.
Mommy! Look at her. She's playing by herself.
You silly. Then why are you always saying "scissors"?
- I'm not silly. - OK, OK. Let's try again.
- Scissors, stone, paper! - Scissors, stone, paper!
Yes!
Scissors, stone, paper!
Oh... yeah! This is mine!
I'll go.
It's nice to see you smile.
Actually I was worried how you'd react.
Like, who would ever bid farewell in this situation?
I just...
wanted to see you. (not "missed you" in this case)
I couldn't just leave like that.
Where are you headed?
You feel uneasy every time you see me, right?
It's the opposite for me.
But...
I won't do this anymore.
Can I really break up with him?
The kids?!
The kids' faces are the first thing coming to mind.
Still, will I be able to break up with him?
I still can't believe all this.
Breaking up... breaking up.
Divorce?!
Husband
Yes?
Did you pack my bags?
I was about to do it.
Should I bring them to you?
I'll come get them myself.
Wait.
I don't want the kids to see us like that,
so wait for me outside.
I'll be there in a moment.
You packed my bags, I see.
The kids?
They're sleeping.
My bags?!
Didn't I tell you to pack my bags and wait here?
I didn't know what to put in.
The essentials, nothing more. Socks and...
I'll leave.
What?
That's a lot easier.
- You're leaving? - You have no reason to leave.
The mistake was mine.
So you admit it.
Give me a few days. I'll leave as soon as I'm ready.
Do as you please.
Do you plan on ruining my life?!
Announce it in the newspapers, will you?!
"Ha Dong-Won's wife cheated on him and is leaving the house!"
Is it that embarrassing?
Do you think you can trample on my pride like...
Is it that embarrassing?!
Great.
Act like that, and you can forget about any alimony.
Understood?
If you want some money on your way out, just stay home quietly.
I'll take care of everything else.
You don't really need love to survive.
I'm just crazy for getting so pent up about it.
You think it was Seong Gu?
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
What did he say in that message?
He hesitated a little, saying nothing before hanging up. That was all.
It's Seong Gu for sure.
So he's alive?!
If he's alive, then that's a relief.
Don't worry. I'll go to Tokyo to find him.
All right, do your best.
Did you say...
you've been friends with Seong Gu since school?
Yes.
Seong Gu must have bothered you quite a bit.
Ahh... not at all, Sir.
I know without you telling me.
It's my son all right, but I can't make excuses.
Just forgive him.
He's a good kid, deep down.
You can go.
Ahhh... sorry to bother you.
He said he'll go to Tokyo to find Seong Gu.
Who would this be?
Pardon me...
Is she talking of that youngster who just left?
Ever since he was little,
Seong Gu was never able to make any friends.
Becoming friends with people only attracted to his riches,
he just made their life a miserable hell.
It's no surprise he has no friend left.
So, I was saying...
I think that friend of his, Lee Jun Soo...
He's a dubious character, in many ways.
Although I'm not 100% sure yet.
Well... there's no need to dig into it.
Just find out whether that kid's alive or not.
Oh! Detective Lee!
Do you know anyone working at the airport?
You know, the Lee Jun Soo I talked to you about.
He's supposed to fly to Tokyo within the next few days.
Is there any way to find out for sure?
Oh... not that. I just need to find out something.
Oh... yes, yes. I'll count on you.
Did you wait long?
A little.
Ohh... sorry. My boss just called me as I was leaving.
An editor-in-chief falls into panic like that if it's his boss calling?
It's just a small company, so I became editor-in-chief at my age.
I already see signs of aging on you, Woo Seok?!
Back in Tokyo in our college days, you were so spirited.
Making a living is not easy.
I also came this morning, so let's just skip this.
Yes.
Have a cup of tea.
Why order 5,000 won tea just like that?
What happened to you? You were spending like an arm dealer in Tokyo.
I was just making ends meet, that's all.
Is that it?
My family got ruined, you know?
Trying to live like this after a life of luxury,
it's harder than you think.
That's a shame.
Oh, by the way. Why did you ask me for translations?
To make a little money.
Ehhh... will that make you any money? There isn't much work either.
Your husband is doing well, just spend his money.
No need to go around stealing someone else's job.
I need to work.
Because you're bored?
To make a living.
I told you. It's urgent.
Did... anything happen?
You're not telling me you...
So, it's really urgent?!
Don't ask.
Is it?
Yeah... taking your call, it didn't feel like a joke.
And you wouldn't do that just because you're bored.
So... I thought about it.
Considering your age or... experience.
There's no easy way to make money, you know?
I guess.
A way you could make some easy money...
does come to mind, I must admit.
What is it?
Do you really need money?
I told you.
Sit.
Guide...
That's not something everyone can do.
You need specific qualifications, and need training later.
You need to have a friendly personality as well.
This is not as easy a job as people think.
What's more, travel agencies don't really hire guides first-hand.
We just contact the guide association whenever we need one.
But... well. Woo Seok asked for a favor, what can I do?
I thought of a way...
So as an expedient, we'll employ you here until you get your qualifications.
Want to give it a shot?
This is really hard.
And you won't make much for a while.
I want to try.
Tell me. What did Woo Seok say?
He said if he asked, I wouldn't be able to refuse, did he?
Because I liked him since our college days. Uh?
That's not it! He was the one following me!
Ahh... Yes.
What?
Guide?!
You're out of your mind.
Did you even go to Jeju Island?
I met Min Young at the airport.
Hey. Don't start grumbling and tell me.
Do you really plan to fight to the end with your husband?
That's great, isn't it? You've always liked Dong Won.
Ehh? When did I ever say that?
I was just joking.
Seeing your reaction, it must be true?!
Why did you change so much?
Where has that innocent girl who couldn't tell the difference...
between a joke and serious talk gone to?
Now you even insidiously make fun of people.
What?
"What's so great about you?"
Yeah.
"It happens to most people."
"Why get so obsessed with breaking up over that?"
Exactly.
Hey... of course.
If a couple can even love each other, that's great.
But how can you do that all day?
The man needs to go out and make money.
The woman needs to raise the kids and do the chores.
Doesn't everyone live like that?
Then after a while, you get in the mood and love a little. Uh?
Then live a bit more.
Then you age just doing that.
I don't want to live like that.
How do you want to live?
Look at her... worrying for nothing.
Yes, it's me.
Don't lash out at him, Hye Jin!
Men are all like that.
Yes. I called.
I needed a favor.
Tell me.
Do you have time tomorrow?
If I do?
Then, drive the girls to the Hagwon (cram school) after school.
What?
Just drive them there.
I'll drive them home when they're done.
Are you crazy?
Where would I have the time?
You can't?!
What would you be so busy doing?
It's 3 o'clock, don't forget.
Don't hang up.
Tell me.
Fine.
I'll drive them there.
I talked of divorce...
Did you really tell her that?
Didn't you ask me that? To talk of divorce.
I asked if you could divorce.
I never told you to divorce her.
- Are you making fun of me? - No.
Wait.
We'll get this done with in a few days.
Let's just have dinner.
What will you have?
Why are you taking it so seriously?
I'm the one who's divorcing.
Come on, choose. I'm hungry.
What now?
I just don't understand.
Abandoning such a pretty and kind wife...
She's prettier than you, so you're nervous. Is that it?
It was a relief, on the contrary.
A relief?
Yes.
If your wife was much worse than me,
our relationship would have gotten serious.
He's just cheating on her, I told myself.
Not because there was anything wrong with her.
That kind of relationship you can stop at any time.
So, you're telling me...
you feel guilty now. Is that it?
Oh, no.
Well, a little.
It has nothing to do with you, my trying to divorce.
Stop worrying.
Who's worrying?
Why should I?!
So, let's just eat. Choose something.
The most expensive one.
Run! Run to me!
- Come on! - Bok Sun, run.
What will you do with the kids?
You need to think about them, and forget all the rest.
What did they ever do wrong?
I grew up under the constant disputes of my parents.
After living for so long like sworn enemies,
they just died one by one.
Yeah... just like you said.
My parents lived together for so long despite the disputes.
Turning on each other, lamenting they couldn't break up because of their kids.
I'm not happy myself, can the kids live a happy life?
Hey... who lives in happiness?
They just pretend to be.
You think the kids don't know?
That their mother is pretending to be happy, when she clearly isn't?
The day my mother died,
I didn't shed a single tear. You know why?
Because my mother made us...
just as unhappy as she was.
"Life is just like that."
"No matter how unhappy you are, just endure it."
But... is life really like that?
Is life something without a single spark, I'm asking?
Something that makes you so happy you could die,
that kind of blinding, firework-like spark.
Is life really devoid of that?
So... you plan to go look for that?
I don't plan to search for it, I just want to protect it.
That fire brewing inside me, like a firework.
So you had that experience or what, you silly?!
It could have been just a dream.
Or I could still be dreaming.
That's even better!
Tell him to divorce.
What could you possibly have to lose?
Just get it over with. Tell him to divorce.
Be honest, where would you find another man like him?
He earns well, he's good looking.
Well, if you want to call it a flaw, he's kind of a player.
That... you can take care of with time.
If I were you, I'd just let him divorce.
Always worrying for nothing.
Stop worrying, Da Ae. Stop.
I'm scary.
Subconsciously imagining that.
The image of myself becoming Ha Dong Won's wife.
Have I grown tired?
Of living. At my age?
Last winter...
you went to Hokkaido, right?
You said you went to Japan twice...
to look for Seong Gu.
Ahh... I'm just trying to help you.
Do you have any evidence which would excuse what you're doing?
Just answer that.
Whether you went to Hokkaido or not.
The winter of two years ago, I went to Sapporo with Seong Gu.
We also went to Otaru, and Hakkoda.
But last winter, you didn't.
Is that all?
You don't need to look for him. His body was found.
His corpse was found, still buried in snow.
Where?
Just near Sapporo, in Otaru.
You're saying he's dead?
Seong Gu?!
I guess they called Chairman Kang last night.
They found a wallet in his pocket.
Inside there was his driver's licence.
When do they say the accident happened?
According to local police, there are records of him checking in...
at some hotel near Sapporo. Up to last February.
So that means Seong Gu was alive, at least until last February.
I didn't think of Hokkaido.
That he could be hiding there.
So it was an accidental death.
You've got no involvement, is that what you're saying?
Since he disappeared last December.
You'll get busy... if you're trying to pry into my past.
I'll go to Sapporo and see for myself.
I said there's no need.
Seong Gu was like a brother to me!
Whatever happened, I'll see it with my own eyes.
Whether you suspect me or not.
I decided to go check myself, along with Chairman Kang.
He's coming just now.
Isn't this great?
If things turn your way, you'll be proven innocent.
Of course, only if you're really innocent.
- Already here? - Yes, Sir.
If you let my hands go,
you'll become me!
You'll really become Kang Seong Gu!
Look at the entrance.
She'll enter before I count to ten.
1...
2...
- Who? - Su Jeong.
3...
4...
There you go.
What is it you have to tell me?
Long time no see.
Follow me.
Speak, what is it?
Just a sec, Seong Gu.
It'll be just a minute.
Sit there.
What's the matter?
Here, have a drink.
Have a drink.
Drink! Here you are.
Let's have a drink!
Come on, drink. Drink.
Another one. You can drink!
Want another shot?
Come on, drink!
Su Jeong is naive. Why are you messing with her?
You really have nothing better to do?
Always using women for your bets.
You did the same with me, didn't you?
What was it about?
Yeah... I'm probably even worse.
Waiting for your call and then running here, killing time...
even though I despise people like you deep down.
Want to bet with me?
Tonight, will Su Jeong...
just go home...
or not?
If I win?
What's my prize?
If I win, you're going to stop doing this?
Pick one.
Su Jeong and I are different.
Coming here the moment you called her was for my sake.
Because she wanted to protect me.
Here! Drink it all!
Come on! Drink, drink!
One shot! Ahhh!
Are you okay?
That's cheating!
Here! Drink!
You're breaking the rules.
Are you okay?
Just once.
If he failed just once, he would have quit this game already.
It's like a burning thirst.
Just like sea water, making you thirstier the more you drink.
As the game goes on, you forget about fun,
and all that's left is your thirst to have more.
Drink! Drink.
In life... is there really such a thing as love?
Something worth risking your life for.
That pure kind of love.
Why look around searching for that?
That kind of thing...
beats inside you.
If you really want to,
that thing can live inside you, hidden deep down.
See how the game ends, at least.
Wow... you really can drink.
Who is she?
What's with her?
Where are you going?
Just put him there.
- Thanks for tonight! - Thanks!
See you!
Sobering up a little?
Hey! Seong Gu!
It's dangerous!
Seong Gu!
Just worry about driving!
Stop the car!
Stop the car!!
Let me go!
Why did you send me off alone?
I was so drunk I couldn't control myself.
Why did you give me the keys?
It's not true, is it?
I wasn't driving, right?
That bitch couldn't possibly have been in the car with me.
Su Jeong, that wench...
She despised me!
There's no way she'd come with me!
Seong Gu.
Why did you...
take Su Jeong aboard that car?
You said...
Su Jeong disliked Jun Soo.
You didn't know Su Jeong liked you more than I did?
She came just because you asked her out.
She was bragging with me on the phone, that she'd be meeting you!
But...
why was she on that car?
Uh?
Na Ri.
When school is over, Daddy will drive you to the Hagwon today.
Why?
Mommy has something urgent to do, so I asked your father.
When we're done there?
I'll come.
It's late. Go.
You had a fight with Dad?
Right?
Can't we talk at home?
I have a lot to tell you. Okay?
Na Ri, Na Rae!
Mommy will make you spaghetti for dinner!
They're ordering. You kept postponing...
Director. Just join the action.
- Send an order for this. - Yes.
Director. The Division Director called for an urgent meeting.
Where are you going, Director?
Aren't you going to the meeting?
It's Daddy's car!
Why are you so late?
Go sit in the back.
In front!
I said go sit in the back!
Na Ri!
I'm sorry for getting angry at you.
Na Ri.
I'm fine.
I wasn't angry because of you.
It's because of work.
There was this important meeting at work...
Why didn't you call? We could have walked home.
Right.
Mommy will bring you home later!
Hello?!
It's me.
What the hell are you doing?
We're in a state of emergency at work.
I'm sorry but...
you'll have to bring the kids home after their Hagwon.
What?!
You really...
I'm sorry.
Just for today. Something urgent came up.
Hye Jin-san! Hye Jin-san!
Kimchi!
Yes! Thank you very much!
Have an appointment or something?
Why do you keep staring at your watch?
I need to drive the kids home.
From school?
Hagwon.
Doesn't your wife do that?
So it started for real.
So you missed the meeting earlier for that?
What did he say, the Division Director?
These days results are so bad,
I just said to forget about it and laughed it off.
You know how he is.
Thank you for that.
That...
It's their technique, having you take care of the kids.
"Try it yourself once." That's it.
Anything else I can bring you?
- We're fine, thank you. - Please, enjoy your meal.
- Everyone, bon appetit! - Bon appetit!
You need to eat something. You've been running around all day.
I can't.
Hard, uh?
Making a living is just like that.
So sometimes I regret it.
I could have just endured it.
I feel like I messed with my husband for nothing.
You were married?
I did. I didn't want to live doing this forever.
Then, why did you break up?
Because this seemed a lot better...
than enduring all the humiliation my husband put me through.
Doing this job has its pros as well.
What?
That you don't need to see your husband.
Got a point.
Have something to eat, and go home earlier.
I'll wrap things up here by myself.
It's okay.
For the time being, just go home earlier.
You need to feed your kids, unless you want to become a bad mother.
Eat!
This way, please.
This way, please!
This way.
This way, please!
This way, please.
Know what time it is now?
The kids?
They're sleeping.
How about dinner?
I got something delivered.
Seong Suk wasn't there?
She's not. Would she stay here and experience all this?
Why aren't you using your car?
I went back and forth using buses and the train.
Why?
I need to get used to it. I'll have to live without that car.
Is that right?
Yes.
What's that?
This?
You got a job at a travel agency?
Yes.
It's not a permanent contract.
Just for the time being.
But... what's with that?
You wanted to show that off in front of me?
It's just a souvenir, to commemorate today.
Commemorate what?
It's my first job.
You'll take this to the limit, you mean.
The savings you gave me... You told me to use them for whatever I wanted.
I had to use that.
Because I thought I'd need a room.
You need no alimony, is that what you're saying?
That'll be enough.
The kids?
For the time being, we'll alternate taking care of them.
When I'm settled, I'll come get the kids.
If you agree to that.
You wretch!
On whose permission?
Who ever gave you permission to take the kids?!
What's wrong with you?
You know why I was waiting for you outside?
Because of the kids. So that they wouldn't have to see this.
But, what?!
You rented a room and are going out?
You...
You're not thinking of hitting me, are you?
What?!
What are you doing?
Let me go!
- What if the kids see the bruises... - Shut your mouth!
Come!
What's wrong with you, Dong Won?!
Don't do this!
What?! You're leaving?!
Taking the kids?!
I've never been able to feel your affection.
Why is that? Because you never opened yourself to me.
If I say I'm sorry and apologize, will I feel a little better?
Said she's beautiful. Unlike me.
Let's break up.
You want to end it? Our relationship?
Do I need to start hating you, so that you won't do this?
Should I regret and blame myself, so you will stop showing up?
I'll stay a little longer.
Did you meet her knowing?
That she was that man's wife?
It's not that kind of relationship, that woman and I.
Not what you're imagining!
You could just say it wasn't!
That you didn't know who she was.
That you still don't know, that this is what you two are!
