Love Affairs in the Afternoon (평일 오후 세시의 연인)

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

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I showed a weakness I shouldn't have.

Of course he should have rejected

but my heart still crumbles.

Why did I give my heart to someone I shouldn't?

Pick up your phone.

Hello?

Mommy, you're going to pick me up at school since it's raining, right?

What?

Oh, it's raining.

Okay.

Go ahead.

It looks like your daughter is looking for you.

Okay.

Let's never see each other again.

Mommy!

My baby, I'm so sorry I'm late.

You're late.

What...

Mom, you got wet in the rain?

Yes.

Why?

You always carry an umbrella.

The one you also use as a parasol.

I lost it.

What?

Gosh.

Get a hold of yourself!

What is going on with you these days, Mom?

Huh?

Do you know the more I observe you, the weirder you are?

At your young age.

Are you sure you don't have dimentia?

Am I not allowed to even lose one umbrella?

What?

I mean

It's just an umbrella.

We live in a world where even people are lost.

Can't I leave a mere umbrella somewhere?

What's wrong with Mom?

I let out my anger from being rejected onto my husband.

What are married couples to each other?

Our hearts are endlessly far

although our bodies are this close.

Jung-woo!

Oh my gosh. He's out of his mind.

If you don't have an umbrella, you should've bought one at the convenience store.

What if you catch a cold?

You're right.

You're going to get sick.

Wash up quickly.

I'll leave your underwear here.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

The bell rang meaning it was 12 o'clock.

Cinderella, who was so shocked, quickly left the ballroom.

Wait a minute, miss. Please wait.

The prince quickly followed after Cinderella, but

only one glass slipper was left behind all by itself.

Mommy, are you also Cinderella?

What? What do you mean?

You only have one side of your earrings.

What?

Hmm... where did it go?

Does the prince have it?

But mommy, you have to find your earrings, okay?

Why?

It was daddy's gift to you.

Ah, yes. Of course.

Eat first and then sleep.

Eat breakfast first and then sleep.

Gosh, let me sleep comfortably at least on the weekend.

Faith, you didn't eat again.

I'm sorry.

You're going through a hard time, right?

I should've found Love no matter what.

Did you have breakfast?

Do you want to come over real quick?

What about your kids? It's the weekend.

Ah-ram went on a field trip with her school

and Ah-jin went to practice ballet.

And my husband is probably alive somewhere.

Do you want to eat in the garden?

Is it okay for you to be out like this when your husband is home?

He'll be so happy there's no one to wake him up.

Probably.

What about the biology teacher?

Is he doing well?

I'm not sure.

What kind of answer is that?

It doesn't mean you know nor does it mean you don't know.

It's just... I'm not going to see him anymore.

We weren't meant to see each other to begin with.

You're so cool with no strings attached.

Although, your facial expression doesn't seem like it.

Well, it turned out for the better.

Even if I kept seeing him, we would've shown each other bad things.

What happened?

Did you dump him or did you get dumped?

What is there to dump? We're both married.

Don't talk about him in front of me anymnore.

That makes things more weird.

Last time, didn't you say you like seeing him like a friend?

Oh my gosh.

Mr. Yoon pushed you like this?

This is why I didn't want to tell you.

You two are so cute.

I'm jealous.

People might think you two are a young boy and girl.

Don't make fun of me.

I'm embarrassed to death.

Now... I'm really not going to see him anymore.

Do you think that's possible?

Everyone's the same.

If you try not to see them, you want to see them more.

If you say you won't see them

you miss them even more.

Is...

Is everything okay with him?

It's just

He said we shouldn't see each other again.

Oh...

"Let's never see each other again."

I realize now

how strong those words are.

You must really like him a lot.

Where are you coming from?

Mother-in-law!

Gosh, Mrs. Soon-ae nagged at me so much

telling me to not go to your house over the weekend, if possible.

Go in.

Now don't fight with your sister.

Be on good terms together.

Mother-in-law, what is that?

Oh, a bird in my neighborhood hatched eggs.

All the other ones grew well and flew off with their mother.

But this one was weak since birth and its mother abandoned it.

The world of animals is so cruel if you think about it.

Still, you shouldn't bring things like this whenever you want.

Oh my gosh.

I heard Faith is not eating after Love flew away.

Chang-gook sounds so down because of that every time I call.

Then what should I do?

I thought my beloved son would die soon at this rate. So I brought the bird.

Gosh.

Who is the beloved son?

Is it me?

Why are you making such a ruckus on a good morning like this?

What? Didn't you say you're working today?

That's because I was afraid you would come again with tons of food.

What is that?

Is it a sparrow?

Oh my

Oh no. Oh no.

Look at Faith being territorial.

Oh no. What do we do?

Oh no. Faith.

It's daddy.

Oh gosh, are you okay?

Look at that, the weaker one is Faith.

Mother!

How can you bring a stranger and scare my child?

Gosh, birds are birds! Don't make a big fuss.

It's nice for Faith to have a friend, isn't it?

Do you think anyone can just become friends?

Yes!

I'm even friends with a pig! So what!

Why you little punk..

I'm never coming back here again!

Mother-in-law..

Please leave.

Faith, my poor baby. Are you okay?

It will be alright.

You were shocked, weren't you?

Like that, Hope came to take the place Love left.

Will I also be able to finda new hope in my empty heart that is full of pain?

I'm always by your side. Heart.

Ta-da! Ji-eun, please give this to Soo-ah when you see her.

Stop it already. She said she won't see you.

Is it that easy? Do you really think that's possible?

Write another wish.

No, I don't want to.

Write something else.

No, I don't want to.

Can I have a piece of paper?

Yes, of course.

You're going to take it off when I leave, aren't you?

But that's okay.

I'm working overtime today.

I'm going to post 100 of these after you leave.

Please do whatever you can to help me.

Please hold on both sides like this

and stretch to your left like so and push with your right foot.

Ow

Now hold onto the left side and go up on the hammock with your left foot.

How are you so good?

Did you do this for a long time?

No, it's only been a month.
