Love Affairs in the Afternoon (평일 오후 세시의 연인)

(People, places, and organizations that appear are fictional and irrelevant to reality.)

Ji-eun. Wait, Ji-eun.

Don't hold onto me any longer.

If you do, I might hold onto you and jump off a bottomless cliff with you.

You gifted me heaven.

You're pregnant?

Why? Does it sound like a lie?

What should I tell the baby when it grows up and finds out?

I'll do as you wish. I'll do everything.

But please leave Ji-eun alone. I beg you.

You're still worrying about her in a situation like this?

When the baby and I are dying away like this?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

But Min-young, she didn't do anything wrong.

Shut up.

Don't even talk about the disgusting adulteress. Because it makes me gag.

Just don't do anything. Live in penance to me and the baby.

I will slowly revenge as much as I received from you.

I'm pregnant. I have your child.

Pregnant...?

I beg you.

How can someone like me live with you?

So please.

How do you think I feel?

How do you think it was for me to come all the way here.

That's why...

That's why I'm begging you.

Can't you just let me go?

Let's just die together.

I don't want to live like this either.

Don't do this. Why should you die? What did you do wrong?

Chang-gook, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. It's all my wrongdoing.

I'll do everything as you say. So please... please...

I want to die, too. I do, too.

I do, too.

I want to die, too.

I do, too.

I want to die, too.

Did you know?

Until Love flew away, I was a woman who was merely a wallpaper.

I was a refrigerator, a laundry machine, and a dining table.

I got transferred to Asan area.

But Chang-gook, do we have to live like this?

Can you continue to live seeing me?

It won't be easy. But what can I do? If I don't die, I must keep living.

If I live like that, I'll just continue living.

I'm just a typical government employee in the countryside.

My life doesn't change day by day and isn't fun.

But I live satisfied with my stable life.

Can't I just live like that?

Oh my gosh, Ji-eun. When did you come?

Well...

Chang-gook said you went on vacation.

Why did you come back so soon? You should've rested more while you were there.

Gosh, you old woman. Why do you always come to another person's house like this?

You jerk. What do you mean another person's house?

We can't have a child because you're like this.

Oh... really? Then should I hurry up and leave?

It's fine.

I don't know what it is but leave what you brought first and then leave.

Oh my gosh, Ji-eun. I thought you weren't home.

I should've called before coming but my body always moves ahead.

I'm sorry. From now on, I'll be more careful.

No, mother-in-law. I'm the one that should apologize.

Gosh, it's okay. It's completely fine.

It's good to see you two together like this.

Biology teacher's wife.

Hello? This is Jin Chang-gook.

Yes, of course. We should meet in person to resolve things.

Resolve what?

Is there a problem?

What do you mean "problem"?

Okay, I understand. We'll do that. Bye.

You know that interviews are starting tomorrow, right?

Those in academia are already interested in your European invitational exhibition.

By the way, did you know Professor Shim is really happy about this?

Today, let's recover from our fatigue and starting tomorrow, we will officially...

I never imagined for you to be waiting at the airport.

Should I have not come?

No. I was happy because I missed you so much.

Me, too. How was work?

Well, the responses were better than expected.

And there were more art galleries than we expected that wanted to work together.

That's good to hear. Then, when will you...

Oh, right.

I'm so sorry.

I took it off while I was sleeping but I couldn't find it anywhere the next day.

It's something I shouldn't have lost.

A ring is not important.

It's important that you returned safely like this.

As soon as the two of you sign the agreement, it will have legal force.

I needed to do this to feel at ease.

I have to give birth soon.

If you have any additional clauses to demand, please state it now.

No, I don't have any.

I just simply need a promise that the two won't see each other anymore.

From this moment forward...

I will never...

see Yoon Jung-woo again.

I'm sorry.

I won't meet her either.

I'm sorry for hurting everyone here.

But Son Ji-eun has no fault.

Hey, Yoon Jung-woo.

First off, the two people must sign here.

If the agreement is broken,

Son Ji-eun and Yoon Jung-woo must compensate 1 billion won to No Min-young.

Do you two have any objections?

This is definitely not love.

A temporary breakaway.

A dirty affair.

A severe wound.

If I knew it would hurt this much, I wouldn't have even started it.

I wish my heart would stop.

How can I endure

and live this life without him?

Coffee smells so good.

Now it really feels like I'm home.

You should sleep some more. You're still jetlagged.

I fell asleep too early yesterday, right? I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you.

A few days ago, I went to the ER because Ah-ram had a high fever.

I see. Is she better now?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry, Ha-yoon? What are you sorry for?

Because it's me that's putting you through a hard time, Soo-ah.

I'm afraid you're going to leave me. Is it right for me to hold on to you like this?

How much longer will I be able to stay with you?

The Demilitarized Zone of Our Souls

You're publishing a book with Jenny's illustrations?

Working so hard at your house was well worth it for her.

That's not why I'm using her. Jenny is more talented that I expected.

Oh really?

She's better than Mr. Do. She listens better too.

Oh yeah. How was Spain? It seems like there were good responses.

It's a ring that your wife and my husband have on together.

I won't let your wife be.

I'm going to sue her for compensation so please tell her to be ready for it.

It takes two to tango. Was Soo-ah the only one at fault? And not the crazy bastard?

Then you should sue him for compensation as well.

It would be fun to sue both of them.

Fine. What a great idea you have. Let's give it a go.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I know Mr. Jin requested to transfer.

Oh.

I won't beat around the bush.

I like Mr. Jin.

No, I love him.

So much you can't even imagine.

Do you know how much pain Mr. Jin was going through recently because of you?

And do you know how hard it was for me to watch him go through that?

You didn't purposely plan on having an affair either.

It's the same for me.

I can't give up on Mr. Jin.

So what do you want me to do?

Please leave Mr. Jin.

Or just throw Mr. Jin away.

You love someone else, Ji-eun.

You didn't purposely plan on having an affair either.

It's the same for me. I can't give up on Mr. Jin.

You love someone else, Ji-eun.

Which one do you want to try?

I want this one.

This one. Eat this one. Here.

Which one do you like, Ji-eun?

I'll eat later.

Okay.

This is good.

I'm like a bird who's heart was taken away by an eagle.

Every single day, I'm dying in a hunched up position.

Mr. Lee

What is all this? Why are these here and not in the bookstores?

The thing is...

They're saying the illustrations in this book are plagiarized.

What? Plagiarized?

We checked the report by users on the internet.

There's a famous artist in Denmark and the illustrations are almost...

They're identical?

Yes.

No one knew that?

I'm sorry.

What about all these? What are we supposed to do with them?

For now, large bookstores are holding off on accepting them.

This is registered mail for Choi Soo-ah. Please sign here.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

What is it?

I'm not sure either.

What's wrong? What is it?

Mrs. Kim sent a certification of contents.

If I don't pay 50 million won, she will sue me for compensation.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

I told you to stay at your mother's house. Why did you come?

I came to keep an eye on you.

I mean, it's move-in day so I thought the wife should be there.

I see.
