EPISODE 14
It's interesting you don't drink coffee.
Apart from my daughter, everyone drinks it.
I have my dad to thank for that.
Your father too? Does that go for your whole family?
Yes.
It's nothing good, I guess.
The biggest issue it has is caffeine addiction.
How serene.
You'll be sacrificing a lot. Actually, you'll have to
be tolerant of many things.
We won't be able to spend time together when we want to,
and that'll leave you dissatisfied.
That I'm ready for.
I won't ever sleep out.
I can't be with you when you're sick
or talk on the phone when you want,
especially after 6 p.m.
Are you okay with all that?
Think it through.
It's not an easy decision.
We'll still be able to see each other at least once a week, right?
I'm good, then.
Promise me one thing, though.
Promise me that you'll never ask me to choose you over my family.
-I won't. -Doing so
won't benefit you in any way.
-I'll have you though. -You'll be sharing.
How you feel about me means more than our time spent together.
Tell me if you don't love me.
Emotions from the heart can be felt.
I'm sure you know how I feel
and I can also feel how you feel about me.
I won't text or call after 6 p.m.
And we can meet every few weeks when you're busy.
Just let me always hold a small place in your heart.
Am I asking too much?
My feelings for you aren't to be taken lightly.
They run deep.
That's more than enough for me.
-U-ram. -Yes?
You like Ji-a, don't you?
What makes you say that?
You look at her with love in your eyes.
-With love in my eyes? -Yes.
I'm still a kid, you know. And what you said is inappropriate.
Your eyes were on her the whole time.
I looked at the ice, the ceiling,
and even the people around me.
Besides, can't we talk to each other?
It's been a while, so we talked about our old teacher.
You know what I mean.
What exactly is that?
If I'm being honest, Ji-a's a sweet kid.
So I hope you two remain close friends as you grow up.
I want you to have a decent guy friend too, you know. But you don't.
-Smart girls won't like you. -Why not?
Girls don't like men who answer a question with two and get all chatty.
I hope you didn't fall down a lot.
I should've been there to hold you up.
Hyang-gi and U-ram did instead.
Excuse me.
Let me. You don't want to hurt yourself.
Sure.
U-ram is always formal with his parents.
-I'm choosing not to. -Why?
To feel closer to you guys. Want to see?
Father, please let the pieces be small.
Mother, could you please pass me a napkin?
-Is that better for you? -Yes, young lady.
Not for me. My tongue's rejecting it.
Here.
You must be hungry too.
Watching you two eat appeases my hunger.
It's true.
Ji-a, you'll understand once you become a mom too.
Anyway, your mom is also my baby.
Here you go.
Why does U-ram's mom have a bandage on her wrist?
It's a medicated patch for her sore wrist.
Her job requires her to type all the time, you see.
How sad.
Does your job affect you too?
Not really. Not physically.
Dad, what about you?
I bet he can't help but analyze other people's minds.
He never says it, but I bet he always tries to figure out others' personalities.
She's right.
Here. Please enjoy, my princess.
Let's order a pizza too. You love gorgonzola pizza.
-Won't it be too much? -We'll take home the leftovers.
I'm glad you weren't there today.
Si-eun and her family would've been embarrassed if you were.
-Why's that? -Professor Park
doesn't slice anyone's meat for them.
Did you have steak for lunch?
Yes. You know, the kids love it.
Come to think of it, I've never seen any other husband as sweet as you are.
It's because I love you.
Does that mean U-ram's dad doesn't love his family?
Are you hungry?
No, not yet. It must be because of the big lunch I had.
I'm finally done.
Ms. Sa's father-in-law was beaming all the time thanks to his pretty wife.
It's why the dead are always pitied.
Didn't his wife pass away a long time ago?
He remarried before the two-year mark with a nurse 19 years his junior.
It's true that love transcends borders.
-Jealous much? -What are you implying?
I guess the jealousy is understandable.
A woman 19 years your junior is 31.
Seriously. Stop that.
Don't jump to conclusions. When did this get to be about me?
-Maybe it's what you secretly want. -Oh, please.
Women like young men too, you know.
A junior colleague of mine goes hiking on the weekends.
The older ladies there
would pull him toward them offering him snacks and all that.
That's how it is these days regardless of gender.
We're the normal ones, right?
Of course.
You see a lot of court-related scenes in TV dramas.
-Right. -Don't you get nervous speaking
in front of all the audience?
I took public speaking classes as a kid, so not really.
I hear people take calming pills on their first court day though.
When I was in law school, I went to see a trial,
and it must've been that lawyer's first day in court.
You know how you don't know what you're talking about when you're too nervous.
It turned out that one of the documents
was printed with a number that was miscalculated.
And the judge told the lawyer to correct it.
-Oh, dear. -Normally,
you can just tell the judge that you'll correct it in your seat,
take your time calculating the number, and then hand in the document again.
However, the judge that day
told the lawyer to do it on the spot instead of handing in another document.
He was like, "Calculate the number right away."
So the lawyer had to calculate the number,
but he was too nervous to get it done properly.
He couldn't get the right number, which flustered him greatly.
I still remember what the lawyer said.
"Your Honor, I had jjolmyeon for lunch, you see.
I'm so nervous since this is my first day in court,
so I have indigestion!"
The judge scoffed gently at him
and told him to calculate it in his seat.
I nearly died trying to stop myself from bursting into laughter.
The situation was hilarious and the word jjolmyeon made it worse.
His company is always enjoyable.
Hi, I'm at the bookstore
and was wondering if you could recommend anything that you translated.
Xiexian.
-Which bookstore are you at? -Jesam Bookstore.
What? Gosh, you startled me.
-Where's your wife? -She went golfing.
Oh, and I had a wedding to attend to.
You look completely different today.
In a good way?
You've always been a catch,
but you look as good in a suit as in casual wear.
-Who does? -You, Xiexian.
I came by to buy a book you translated since I didn't want to go home
to an empty house.
It's over there,
but I'll give you an extra copy I have at home.
I didn't think it'd suit your taste.
That is never the case with books.
Just like food, it's best to never be picky.
There's something to learn from every book.
I'll buy one today. Where is it?
I really want to give you the copy I have, with my gratitude.
Gosh. Your gratitude?
I shouldn't reject that, right?
Do you have anything to buy today?
I looked around, but nothing's speaking out to me.
Besides, I'd rather keep my hands light.
-You should grab my arm. -Gosh, no.
You said you wanted to keep your hands light.
I hear locking arms eases the weight.
Says your wife?
No, my first girlfriend.
She was probably your first love too.
Come to think of it, I don't believe it was love.
I liked her a lot, that's all.
Is your wife your first love, then?
Well, it's true that I practically begged her to marry me.
But as soon as the honeymoon phase ended,
my feelings for her kind of thinned down in a way.
-Please take my arm-- -It'll seem misleading.
Who cares if people misunderstand us?
It's only a misunderstanding anyway.
And misunderstandings aren't even a great deal.
But in some cases, it could mean everything.
What do you think is a great deal then?
Well…
Life or death.
The harmony and good health of your family.
Financial issues too.
Have you ever lacked money before?
