No Matter What (No Matter What They Say / Nuga Mwolaedo / 누가 뭐래도)

What do you mean, she packed her things and left?

Ah Ri said she was leaving me...

and left.

Did you guys fight or something?

No.

Then why would she leave when she's not doing well...

after the miscarriage?

Actually,

I'm sorry to tell you this,

but Ah Ri and I...

got married under a contract.

A contractual marriage?

What are you talking about?

At first, Ah Ri didn't want to get married,

so we made a deal to stay married just until she had the baby.

After the miscarriage,

Ah Ri said there was no reason for us to stay married...

and left.

Were you lying to us the whole time?

I'm sorry.

So now that she's lost the baby,

are you going to go separate ways?

That's not what I want.

I told her I can't break up with her.

Ah Ri is staying stubborn and not answering my calls.

Where did she go?

I went up to the front door of my parents' house,

but I couldn't bring myself to go inside.

I understand. You worked so hard to get married.

Who would have thought something like that would happen?

But are you really going to leave Jun Soo?

Yes.

It looked like Jun Soo really loves you.

I never imagined that you two were married under a contract.

If it wasn't a contractual marriage,

I would never have married him.

Even if you got married only to protect the child,

you must have grown close over time.

Do you need to break up with him?

Yes.

It's true we've grown close,

but I didn't want to marry him from the start.

Jun Soo doesn't believe in marriage, and neither do I.

We had no choice but to get married because of the child,

but we have no reason to stay together.

I'm going to look for a place to live on my own.

You need to get better. You can't stay alone.

Someone needs to be by your side.

No. It's okay.

Don't be like that and stay here for a few more days.

Byeo Ri is here. You can depend on her.

If you're alone at times like these, you'll have unhealthy thoughts.

Listen to me.

Thank you.

I'll stay for a few more days, then.

Good.

But do you have money to find a place?

I do. Mom gave me some money to buy wedding presents,

and I have money from my installment savings.

I was planning on giving this to you when I met you.

Please take it.

What is this?

It's money that I tried to give to your father.

But your mother brought it back.

Your old apartment was taken as collateral because of me.

I know it's late, but I want to pay him back...

with the money I got from selling the land in Gurye.

I can't take this.

You take it for now and use it for your parents.

I need you to take it for me to feel better.

Still, how could I?

Ms. Shin, please.

Yes, Mom.

I heard you left Jun Soo.

He's at the flower shop right now.

I'm sorry, Mom.

You didn't even come home. Where are you?

I'm at a friend's, so don't worry.

Which friend?

No. I need to see you.

I'll come over.

No. I'm fine, so don't worry.

I'll call you back.

Wait, Ah Ri!

Where is she?

She says she's at a friend's.

I think she's avoiding us.

She won't tell me where she is.

This won't be solved by avoiding us.

This girl.

This phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

Her phone is turned off.

I should have kept her from leaving no matter what.

I'm sorry.

If you find out where she is, please call me.

I have something I need to tell her.

Okay. We will.

They married under a contract.

Were they living together temporarily because of the child?

It seems so.

I knew it.

Ms. Shin said she would raise the baby on her own.

I thought it was strange that she was getting married suddenly.

This is all thanks to the work my wife and I put in...

to get rid of Ms. Shin.

Of course. The results are what matter.

What is Jun Soo going to do?

They lost the baby and Ah Ri left. There's nothing he can do.

It's all up to you now.

Fine.

I'll look for a way to change his mind.

Sir, did you find Ms. Shin?

No. She didn't go to her parents' either.

Then where is she?

When Mother called, she said she was at a friend's.

When Mother said she would come over,

she wouldn't give her the address.

She turned off her phone.

What do we do about this, then?

What is it?

The picture frame and album finally arrived from the studio.

Just leave it there.

Okay.

You look like a doll.

You're so pretty.

What?

What was she thinking, leaving like that?

I called Ah Ri when Jun Soo came over.

She said she was at a friend's and hung up saying she'd call us back.

She's turned it off.

She must be avoiding us on purpose.

Didn't you say there was a writer that Ah Ri was close to?

Kim Mi Jin?

I don't know her number, but I'll ask around.

Even if it was a contractual marriage,

she worked so hard to get married. Why does she want to end things?

The miscarriage must have broken her heart.

Jun Soo doesn't want to break up. Why is she being stubborn?

She liked Jun Soo too.

How come she wants to leave now?

I need to find her and bring her back.

So try calling Ah Ri's friend.

I will.

What happened? Did you get it?

I called Kim Mi Jin, but she has no idea where she is.

Do you think Ah Ri is with Byeo Ri?

I thought that too,

but I couldn't mention it because your dad was here.

Should I call Byeo Ri?

Yes. Go ahead.

Bo Ra is calling.

I think she's going to ask where you are.

What should I do?

Don't answer.

Byeo Ri isn't answering either.

Is she not back from school yet?

This number is the number Director Lee Ji Ran gave us,

saying she thinks it's Ma Chung Goo's lackey.

He's the one that took the picture of her and Father together.

He must have followed her then.

Yes. Around the time of the food poisoning incident,

Kim Won Tae called this number many times.

We need to lure him out.

I'm going to approach him saying I need to borrow money.

No. They know your face. They'll catch on right away.

Should I dress up as a girl and try it?

Dress up as a girl?

Okay. Let's set up a time.

Oh, right now? Okay.

Hello? Is this Ask Capital?

Yes? How did you get this number?

I went to visit Chung Goo, and he gave it to me.

He said you'd be good to me if I said I was his friend.

Oh, really?

I need to borrow some money.

I'm kind of in a hurry.

Can I borrow 50,000 dollars today?

Sure. If you're a friend of Chung Goo's,

of course, I'll help you out.

Okay. Then I'll text you the cafe address.

Yes. See you later.

What did he say?

Did he say yes?

It's strange, Dae Ro. I think he believes me.

Let's get ready and go.

Yes, where are you now?

I'm almost there.

Oh, I see.

Leave the key.

Hello.

I heard a lot about you from Chung Goo.

- Oh, really? - But you're so handsome.

He didn't tell me that.

I hear that often.

Well,

I need to ask a favor other than the money.

Like what?

I have a fiance.

But he's cheating on me.

Goodness me.
