How Long I've Kissed (아내의 자격)

Prior to this, I have a lot of things to attend to.

=Episode 14=-

First, I have to tell Gyeol about this so that he can accept the fact soonest possible.

And I have to pay a visit to mom. At the same time I need to prepare my own stuff.

Although for the most part I can still use whatever's there

but I should at least get a decent suit to wear.

No matter what anyone might say, I'm still a bride.

Good heavens! It feels weird saying that.

I shouldn't say bride, I should say old bride.

I feel ludicrous and embarrass.

I'm no longer young yet... My heart is throbbing excitedly.

That is what's important.

What is it? The throbbing?

This should be seen as something ludicrous.

And it's not the first time,

this second time round, I should show to others a prudent and matured me.

What are you doing?

My heart started throbbing all of a sudden.

You better go in quick. I'm just going to hold myself back.

I'll call you later.

Oh right! Let's set down the rules. The rules of cohabitation.

For example, when meal times come around, one is not to wait for the latecomer but to eat first.

Once a person is asleep, it's best not to wake him up.

Oh right. Let's write down our expectations

and then have a discussion.

I've only this rule,

to be enfolded in Yun Seo Rae's arms forever.

I could turn out to be very presumptuous.

Then, be that.

But don't you think we have a little problem here?

What problem?

We are still using honorifics with each other.

Oh, that's right.

Soon, we'll be sharing a blanket in bed,

don't tell me even when we are sleeping, we should address each other deferentially?

This is not a laughing matter.

You should go.

Oh, yes.

You should go in.

Seriously...

Eonni. Are you asleep?

Why are you still awake?

Your wedding quilt, that will be my wedding present to you. I'll get one with the most beautiful pair of gold mandarin ducks.

Like the ones that mom and dad had when we we kids.

Doing that brings back nostalgic memories.

Wouldn't that take too much effort to do?

I'll do that for you.

Gee...

I get news about Teacher Hong occasionally.

I heard she's leading a happy life.

You shouldn't concern yourself nor should you worry about her anymore.

All right.

She gave me her answer today.

Yun Seo Rae and I will be living together very soon.

I hope you and Bo Reum will accept this with an open heart.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You know our meeting today will be a plenary session, don't you?

Yes, but Kenny and Lisa would like to see you before the meeting.

They told me 20 minutes ago.

Give me a cup of coffee.

Yes.

That's pretty much the average achievement. We can achieve that target in the current circumstances.

- Yes. - Moreover we have outstanding students like Jason.

And looking at the graphs we can see they are making progress.

Yes, right.

Looking at the trajectory shown in these graphs, we can definitely achieve our target next semester.

Of course.

That's why I think we need to make some changes,

to the terms in our contract.

I heard ST academy pays bonuses calculated in proportion to the ratio of achievement.

When the target that's set is achieved earlier than expected,

the tutors and the parents of the students will directly negotiate the amount of bonuses payable.

Yes, I'd verified this personally,

once a student has been issued a certificate certifying he's in the top ten ranking,

in that academy, that particular teacher will be given an extra large note.

Extra large note is?

100 million won.

In addition they are rewarded with a free swank fitness club membership.

Right, I gather there is such a thing.

So I hope that we can use this approach in our academy as well.

I recruited you on the strength of your ability and your moral character.

You should understand what I mean, right?

But your ability in the absence of a system that safeguard it is useless.

When I signed you two up, I'd already paid you an amount that's more than the bonus you are seeking.

That's to ensure you both, regardless of the circumstances will be protected under the law.

I see.

Even if that's the case--

All right. Then have your pick.

Either we go in accordance with the terms of the contract

or you deal directly with the parents regarding the bonus and relinquish the protection offered by the law.

You may leave.

Keep a close eye on those two,

especially when they are having private discussions with the parents.

Jo Jae Hun came in first in English?

What more, the disparity is so vast.

Really?

I get this feeling that there's something strange.

This is just the first year of high school. Even if there's a disparity, it should be minimal at the most.

Rather than feeling strange, I'm completely surprised.

What I'm saying is that Jae Hun's mom usually has a few tricks up her sleeve.

That's why I'm a little suspicious.

Don't tell me someone is working behind the scene?

Principal Hong?

I doubt that. Maybe she has found some other means?

Yes. How could he score that kind of marks if he had not seen the questions beforehand?

That's right.

It's just a guess.

Did you have a talk with her about this?

Yes, we went to the the academy. There's something suspicious about this.

Then, we can't stand idly by.

Yes, that's right.

Then what can we do? Confront her?

Omo, are you leaving?

Yes. the venue for the appointment has been changed.

You were sitting right behind us and I didn't realize it.

See you around then.

Goodbye.

She must have heard everything.

I think so.

Ah, now that Teacher O has heard, there's bound to be trouble.

Why?

She doesn't have a good opinion of Ji Seon Academy.

Because we had previously rejected her being recruited.

My brother and his wife went for an interview through O Yun Seok's recommendation but both failed to make it.

We rejected her because she was not up to the mark.

Aiyo, my brother and his wife were so upset that they were not eating properly for some time.

But then the competition by the academies to attract tutors and students is very intense.

This is a little disturbing.

First, gather everyone. Let's talk further when we meet. Good.

Let's take it one by one. We need something substantial.

Good. Recently the trend of consuming health food products means family expenditures have increased considerably.

Everyone seems to be very health conscious so I'm thinking we should look into this area.

Gee, didn't we do a feature on the income allocation spent on health products by individuals?

We had already covered this topic, let's not raise this again.

Next!

Not long ago the Institute for Economic Research did a survey on divorce costs, disseminated through a questionnaire.

The results showed that the costs are higher than what we conceived.

This... What is this?

Because we had to pay Gyeol's tuition fees, I was not able to pay the interest on time.

It kept adding up...

Ouch!

What brings you here?

You shameless...

As far as I'm concerned killing you is not a matter--

First of all, looking at the parent's right for care and custody of a child in divorce proceedings--

Damn it!

What's the matter?

How about the issue of profiteering in the dental profession?

What?

Medical costs for dentures between the upper, middle and lower classes

does not seem to differ much.

If we look at the advertisements for dental care, most of them are about dentures.

What do you think?

Well...

Well...

But seonbae, I think you should not touch a topic like that.

Didn't you fork out the payment for Assemblyman Gim's dentures last year?

You! Seriously...

Hey, do you all think that Assemblyman Gim and I are thick as thieves?

That's absolutely not the case.

It's just that we get along well, in a chaste way.

That's right. Assemblyman Gim's political philosophy, you understand it better than anyone.

Are you being sarcastic?

Didn't you say so yourself?

Hey, this will work.

If we explore and probe both sides, we can find the relevant material.

Let's give this some serious thought. How many people out there have a complete set of teeth?

I have a tooth missing here but I can't get insurance.

Excessive price hikes, this is not an ordinary problem, don't you think?

Good. If nobody objects, let's go with this proposition.

You're in charge of gathering date. You do the planning, okay?

Yes.

Done.

Am I the first person you are confiding concerning this matter?

Yes.

Tell me when was the first time you felt you were humiliated.

All right.

I recorded some of it though it's not complete.

Hyeongnim, I'm sorry I'm late.

It's all right, I arrived not too long ago too. Order a drink.

I just had a drink.

Oh.

Okay.

How is father-in-law?

That... My father...

You don't know he writes reviews, right?

Father-in-law?

He said, he took time off after his retirement to write it.

It was by chance I saw his manuscript.

But the contents were amazing.

It even included stuff from his days as a financial affairs official.

Then why not publish it?

That's something to be considered later.

Even though he's my father, but I really admire his writing.

I see.

That's why I want to discuss this with you.

Isn't your law firm looking for former public servants to act as consultants?

Yes.

I know that the defence minister is waiting for people with good backgrounds to take those positions.

But to be honest that's too impractical.
