Oh!
Put these on.
What's this?
I thought you might feel uncomfortable going in heels.
No. I'm going in my heels.
Oh, no, no.
Actually...
Your heel is broken.
And I couldn't find a shoe repairer around.
Oh, can I help you?
No, it's fine.
No, I got you.
No, thanks.
Please...
Get in...
I'll take you home.
[OnDemandKorea Ver] Channel A E02 'Love Affairs in the Afternoon' "A Hand that Stirs Spring" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
You don't have to do this. I won't sue you.
Get better first.
Legal stuff can wait.
We'll take responsibility for the hospital bills.
Complete your treatment.
And please contact me.
Oh!
Your number...
Here...
Thank you.
Again, I apologize on behalf of my student.
The kid is hard to control.
I'll let you go now.
Oh, one moment...
Um...
The doctor said you have the shingles.
That you must have felt a lot of pain.
The shingles...?
You didn't know?
Um...
Yes...
I knew.
Oh.
Ok.
In case you didn't know
he said he'll prescribe you medicine for the shingles too.
- Take it 3 times a day after a meal... - Ok.
Oh, ok...
Sorry about that.
Please contact me.
Are you alright?
Thanks to you.
Great.
Don't you think...
...we need to talk?
It's peppermint tea.
It keeps the body warm.
You were in the parking garage with a young man last time.
Right?
I thought you were perfect.
I guess you're not.
I'm a woman who fills her imperfections.
Aren't you ashamed?
Of what?
What could it be?
That a married woman was with another man in the middle of the day?
Or...
...that a woman with kids was meeting a young man?
Both!
I'm not ashamed of either one.
I'm just living my life.
To be happy.
Is that wrong?
You stole that lipstick to become happy too.
I know it was a mistake.
No woman steals lipstick because she actually needs it.
Maybe food for her child.
That time...
I think I wasn't in my right mind.
But it was really the first and last... I believe it's your first time.
But to know if that is the last time
you have to live more and see.
Don't think you can keep me quiet because I stole some lipstick.
You were caught dirty committing infidelity.
Twice!
If someone heard you, they'd think you witnessed some crime scene.
Usually,
I meet up with men on weekdays from 3pm to 5pm.
I don't have to be emotionally committed, so two hours is enough.
And it doesn't have to be with the same man.
No feelings.
Just two bodies meeting.
Is that something to be so honest and proud about?
Well...
I don't see it any different than getting personal training from a personal trainer.
Two hours a day.
For the recovery of a tired mind and body.
You call that personal training? Are you crazy?
I'm not recommending that you do it.
I'm just saying that's my way of healing.
Excuse me.
Make a clean finish to today's incident.
And I hope we don't run into each other again.
I cannot agree with her.
To me, infidelity is wrong, evil, something that should never be done.
But her self-assurance makes me feel small.
That makes me so angry.
Oh, hey.
Jung-woo!
I'm heading to the airport now.
Is that so?
It'll be the beginning of your suffering.
How can it be when I'm going to you?
I'm so excited right now.
Have a safe trip.
Alright.
Let's go!
Say, goodbye, Ah-ram!
Goodbye
Bye, friends!
Did you have fun today, my little princess?
Yes!
But Shi-ah said I don't know how to dance.
That's not true!
To mommy, you're the best dancer!
Really?!
Of course!
You're mommy's best dancer!
I love you mommy!
Yummy!
I'm out of my mind.
I'm sorry.
I'm so embarrassed that...
I can't even throw it outside.
Hey, Ji-eun!
What are you doing here?
Huh?
Oh...
What's that? What happened there?
It's nothing.
I sprained my neck a little bit
...while hauling a large carriage at the supermarket.
And I thought it was something serious.
You should have been careful.
Let's eat. I'm hungry.
Is it the medicine from yesterday?
The birds seem more lively today.
I should change their food this weekend.
There's one with red ginseng.
Should I order it on the Internet?
Mom, what do you think?
Sure.
Do what you want.
The doctor said you have the shingles.
That you must have felt a lot of pain.
Get better first.
I'm not expecting a lot from my husband.
Just...
"That must have hurt a lot."
Those few words would do.
"It must have been difficult for you."
Those few words would have been enough.
When I think about it...
My heart keeps hurting.
Did you repent?
Is there suspension for a month?
Three days is too short.
Ji-min
No matter the reason,
Violence is unacceptable.
You don't believe me either, right?
That that man and woman were really in that car.
Yes.
I believe what you said.
But is that your business?
Why get violent over something that's not your business...
I thought it was my mom!
It was so much like her.
I lost my head.
It's ok.
She's that kind of woman.
My mom...
Ok.
I heard your parents got divorced recently.
That's why you purposely got a zero on the test?
Wow.
I got a zero?
Great.
Mission accomplished.
Ji-min...
Let me ask you a favor.
Shouldn't you apologize...
...to the lady you injured?
Oh.
That clueless lady?
If we go by your words...
...it means she did nothing wrong.
Come with me to apologize to her.
Apologize for what?
She lied.
Isn't that wrong?
Mr. Yoon
If that lady wants to sue me,
Just throw me in juvenile detention center.
That way, you'll be less stressed.
Who cares
if a punk like me fails a test.
Why sprain your neck for a job that doesn't pay much?
Did you file for Workers' Compensation?
A woman with a child
Should value her body.
Don't abuse your body like that!
I'll be more careful.
Hello? Who is it?
The lady living across from you.
Why are you hanging up like that?
It's a spam call.
Oh.
Is that so?
You leave work at 3pm, right?
I'll be there at the store.
Don't you have comfortable shoes?
You fall all the time because you're always in heels.
I'll wear something comfortable.
Should I make kimchi stew and some soup for dinner?
Sure, if that's what you want to eat.
It's not about what I like.
It's what Chang-kook likes.
You hang up on me like that
and this is where you are?
How did you know my number?
It's not that hard to find.
You saw my text, right?
Make yourself available later at 3pm please.
Three in the afternoon.
On a weekday, even.
Jeez...
It's very worn out.
Why repair it? Just buy a new one.
But still...
Please repair it.
These shoes must be important to you.
Um...
How are you feeling?
Are you taking your medicine?
Oh, by the way
You left your shoes in the taxi.
I need to give them to you.
Sir, please, just throw away my shoes.
They're very worn out anyway.
Actually...
They seem fine.
Contact me at your convenience.
Teacher of Young Min Alternative School, Yoon Jung-woo.
Wow, really?
I'm going to flip.
Hello...?
You, short-term laborer.
Did you hurt your head instead of your neck?
What?
Are you asking for trouble right now?
Is that what you're asking...
Um, hello...?
Ji-eun!
Are you ok?
Huh?
Jeez
You still have a fever!
Come here!
Come on!
Get in here! Quick!
Why are you back so soon? You should rest more days!
I'm ok.
No, you're not!
Rest here for awhile.
I'll call you if it gets busy. Ok?
Drink this.
Rest.
Lie down.
How are you feeling?
Are you taking your medicine?
Shall we meet here later?
I don't want to!
Please come.
I'll wait until you come.
Listen.
Oh, hey, there, Ji-eun!
What's going on?
It's nothing...
I'll wait for you.
What is it?
Was it someone you know?
It's not that...
What the...
Why do you keep calling me?
I said I don't want to see you again.
What did you think of that man?
The teacher.
What?
You seem to like him.
Are you nuts?!
A strong denial is a sign of affirmation.
I guess it's true?
Don't think I'm the same as you!
I'm not that kind of woman!
"That kind of woman?"
You're funny.
If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving.
Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
You're like a rose wanting to wither so badly.
A flower withers eventually.
You don't have to beg for it.
Life expectancy is 100 years now.
I guess all that's left to do is wither for the remaining 70 years.
What are you trying to say?
Just that...
Your youth is being wasted.
For a brief moment
I wished that ten years from now
I could live your life.
Little did I know that you're a woman who sleeps around with men.
Over here, Mr. Yoon!
Sorry, I'm a little late.
Thank you for deciding not to sue.
Here you go.
Your heels.
Oh, so, those heels were yours?
Thank you.
So, you're not going to thank me?
Of course I thank you.
Your car window repair must have cost a lot.
Wow.
Just with words?
Then what can I do for you?
Hey, Mr. Good-looking.
Consider it fate.
How about we go on a date for a day?
A date?
Don't pretend you don't know what I mean.
Why are you doing this!
What?
It's not a bad deal.
I'm quite an attractive woman.
Right, Mr. Yoon?
Excuse me.
We can write the agreement next time.
Have you lost your mind?
Can you live without losing your mind?
I couldn't do it.
You really are
the worst kind.
What are you doing?
Huh?
I'm sorry.
No, I should be sorry.
I interrupted you.
No, it's ok...
I was taking pictures because
I found these little guys by chance.
Flowers?
Yeah.
Sorry about earlier.
Her joke was too much, right?
I don't think she was joking.
Um...
Well...
I'm sorry. To tell you the truth...
I mean...
Just... sorry.
To tell you the truth...
The truth is...
You're not someone who lies.
It's ok.
Don't say it if it's difficult.
No, to be honest...
I'm such a liar.
Your student was right.
That time...
I wasn't with that woman.
I'm sorry
For lying.
Why...
are you smiling?
Because I'm glad
that you told me the truth.
A bindweed flower is a vine plant with a climbing nature.
Flowers come out between June and August.
But these are out already.
How do you know so well?
I'm a Biology teacher...
Oh, you are...?
Drawn in slowly and deeply.
Slowly...
Deeply...
Drawn in...
It's the meaning of a bindweed flower.
Oh...
It's an interesting symbolism.
Due to its climbing nature,
its roots extend long and deeply into the Earth and breathes from there.
It's meaning must come from that.
I see...
Somehow...
...the meaning feels lonely.
Right?
It can't even bear fruits.
Excuse me.
Time to go to the airport.
Someone's coming?
Yes.
My wife.
Today
My wife is coming from the U.S.
Oh...
You're a married man?
Yeah.
Why?
I look like I live alone?
No, it's not that...
Are you married too...?
Of course.
Oh, you are.
Yes...
Alright, then...
Ok...
I'll be going now.
Sure.
16:35-US 805: SAN FRANCISCO
Min-young!
Over here! It's Dad!
What's the use?
You raise her, then she goes away.
Dad, come on
Alright, alright.
My goodness.
Why doesn't my husband seem happy that I'm here?
Come on, that's not true.
Let me smell my husband!
Mmm~ The scent of my husband...
You don't smell like another woman.
I'm driving.
Jung-woo!
I'm watching you!
Dad, go easy! We haven't been together for 3 years!
I didn't say anything.
Pardon me.
No worries. I'm just kidding.
It must have been hard for a young couple to be apart for 3 years.
Do whatever you want. I'll stay with my eyes closed.
Dad!
You're a married man?
Why?
I look like I live alone?
Oh!
(GARAM DISTRICT OFFICE)
Oh, Ji-eun, what's up?
What are you doin'? Busy?
Huh?
I'm working outside the office.
With who? Alone?
Huh?
No, with my supervisor.
I'm your supervisor?
Oh, ok.
And you? Did you get off work?
Of course. Look at the time.
I'm home.
I'll eat dinner outside.
I think my supervisor will buy dinner.
Ok.
Sounds good.
Alright, then.
Um...
You'll stay here for a few days, right?
Really, guys
Get a new house soon.
Since Jung-woo lived alone, his place must be small for two.
It's not that small.
And we don't have any kids yet.
Jung-woo
If it's because of money, don't you worry!
We can do that much for you guys.
It's not that...
My current place is close to school and...
I'm satisfied.
No, come on.
You're in a new city.
There are bigger and better new apartments there.
Mom!
We'll stay where we are for now with some new furniture.
What if we have to move to Seoul soon?
Many schools want to hire you, Jung-woo.
But you refuse to go.
Is that so!?
Of course it is!
Why would they not want him. He studied in the U.S.
How long are you staying at mom's?
Um...
I'm not sure.
You can stay here for awhile before coming.
Jung-woo, are you staying too?
What did you do?
Not much. I was just home.
Hm.
That's boring.
Right.
That's mom's life.
I got one math question wrong.
It's annoying.
So what? You did good.
It's ok to get one wrong out of courtesy.
How is that courtesy?
Find me a math tutor immediately.
Mam
How often does your son come to see you?
Son?
I have a son?
Do you take your medicine regularly?
Of course! I take it all the time!
Young lady.
When are you giving birth?
Excuse me?!
Your stomach looks the same.
Didn't you say you were 5 months pregnant last time?
I said that?
To have no regrets, you should give birth as soon as you're pregnant.
You're right.
Wouldn't you want a baby boy who looks like your husband?
What?!
Drawn in slowly and deeply.
It's the meaning of a bindweed flower.
Due to its climbing nature,
its roots extend long and deeply into the Earth and breathes from there.
It's meaning must come from that.
The voice of that man
lingers all day around my ears.
I don't understand myself either.
If I say that I was relieved to hear that he's married...
...would that be a lie?
Please position the flower this way on each plate.
Yes, mam.
Please cut the peppers a little bigger.
Yes, mam.
"Her husband is on a business trip."
"She said he'll be away for about a week."
"How great would it be if it was for 7 years."
"I pretended to be disappointed, but my heart raced uncontrollably."
"Where are you?"
"I made a phone call to Jae-hoon."
"Can you come right now?"
"My body fires up before I can even hear his response--"
Gosh! Who calls this a book!
Damn it.
It's just garbage.
It's unlike you to call first, Mr. Do.
Isn't there something hardcore?
I can't get inspiration with this much censorship.
Aw, that's too bad.
You don't like the book?
Anyway
I won't draw an illustration for this book.
Sue me if you want.
Alright, I understand.
But today I have something going on at home.
If it's ok with you,
Would you like to come to my house?
Hello?
Hello...
Honey, I think the employees are here! Please answer the door!
Lady at Front House
Hey, hon!
Please help me!
No, I won't.
Why should I?
Who is that?
Is it Mr. Do?
He came so fast.
I'll go open.
That's alright. I'll go.
Who is it?
Who are you?
I'm...
The lady of this house...
Young-bae!
That's not my house!
Hi.
You just moved here, right?
I live at the house across from you.
Oh.
Ok.
Hey, there.
Hello.
Are you our neighbor? Nice to meet you.
It must be fate.
Why don't we be friends?
Sure...
See you...
Let's go, Young-bae.
Come on, Young-bae!
Close the door.
That unfaithful woman with such great house and family
deserves punishment.
So, what am I doing right now?
Young-bae?
I'm Kang-cheol, not Young-bae!
That's not important right now.
Are you crazy? Where do you think you're going?
I wish I was crazy!
Please give up!
She's a married woman!
What's wrong with you, young man?
My heart is hurting!
She's making me crazy! Why can't she see it?
She told you to stop appearing!
Look how she treated you.
She said she doesn't know you.
Miss...
Please help me.
Help me!
Oh, my, God! What's wrong with you!
Don't ever come to this neighborhood!
I dread it!
Help me just once!
Miss!
Please help me!
I'm going insane, save me!
I'm dying, here!
Who are you...?
Oh, hey, Mr. Do!
Sure!
I'll tell you about it next week.
You don't fail to surprise me
I think your publishing company is...
Trash. Right?
How's this?
Didn't you feel your heart beat
for once in a long time?
Mr. Lee, we're here!
Hello, Mr. Lee!
Congratulations, Mr. Lee! Welcome everyone!
Mr. Do?
Thank you for coming to my housewarming party.
Today is a good day, so, let's relax and have some drinks!
Everyone, come on in! Come on! This way!
Wow, what a great house! Hello, Sir!
What are you doing?
Huh?
I'm not doing anything.
So...
Why did you come here?
I left something at the store.
At the store?
What is it?
Um...
Nothing important.
Cheers!
Congratulations, Mr. Lee!
Wow, that's pretty! Who is this?
Well....
Who could it be?
A secret?
Did you enjoy the meal?
Why aren't you joining the others outside?
Well, just...
Mommy!
I was drawing you with Mr. Do.
Ah-ram, you shouldn't bother Mr. Do.
He's Dad's guest.
No fair!
Go to your sister!
Mr. Do, come play again, ok?
Yeah, sure!
Bye-bye
Go to your sister, ok?
You didn't seem to like alcohol, so...
I made this tropical fruit tea myself.
Try some.
Alright, then...
Mr. Do!
Wouldn't it be great to join us for some drinks since you're here?
Mr. Do.
You think I'm a joke?
See?
You're ignoring me right now.
Do you know how much stress you've been causing me lately?
Sir, why are you doing this here.
He doesn't take me seriously!
You've had too many drinks.
Have you ever...
Have you ever even had a drink with me!?
Are you ok?
Don't go.
What are you doing!
Please!
Didn't I tell you to fix your drinking habit!
But, Sir!
I'm sorry...
Madam...
I apologize...
Mr. Do.
Are you ok?
Sorry about today.
I won't consider your proposal.
Slowly...
Deeply...
Drawn in...
It's the meaning of a bindweed flower.
Oh...
Somehow...
the meaning feels lonely.
Hey.
Where are you?
Um, still at school.
When are you coming?
My mom made Galbi-jjim for you.
Oh...
I'll be a bit late today.
I have something to celebrate though.
Celebrate?
I got a call from Korean University.
They want me to lecture starting next semester.
Oh, really?
That's great.
Congratulations.
What's this?
You have no enthusiasm.
No, I mean it.
You're coming late?
Yeah...
Um...
I'm so sorry.
I have to prepare tomorrow's lesson.
I'll go to my apartment tonight.
Oh...
Well... I understand.
What's that?
Crazy bastard.
He won't draw what I ask.
Drawn in slowly and deeply.
I'm glad that... you told me the truth.
Drawn in slowly... and deeply...
Infidelity must begin that way too...
As if it's nothing...
Not a single picture of me.
Oh...
About this...
The shoes...
The shoelaces are untied.
What?
Cheers!
Come on!
It's just coffee.
You lie to your family...
Hurt the people around you...
Lose your friendship...
Eventually, you let yourself fall into a dark swamp...
For this unforgivable love...
Infidelity.
I never even imagined it.
It could never be my story.
But, lately...
I can't help but be afraid.
I feel lost in a maze without an exit.
But I'm not even brave enough to lose everything
and jump into a flame like a moth.
I want to come out of the swamp before I fall in deeper.
God...
Please...
Don't test me...
(Love Affairs in the Afternoon)
Did you know Mr. Yoon changed his profile pic?
Get back at him!
Did you always think about throwing out the birds?
You're a scary woman!
A portrait?
From that hopeless bastard?
Please draw it well.
Would you be able to find it if your clothes are off?
Maybe...
Just maybe...
Maybe for once in my life...
Hey, Mom... Mom! Mom! Mom!
Don't call me Mom!
Love that makes my heart beat might come my way...
