CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

I think I feel it with all my heart.

It feels like we're having

a silent conversation

that never ends in a quiet world of our own.

Moeun.

Moeun.

Mom.

What are you doing here? You didn't say you were coming.

Well, we went to my friend's son's wedding

- and thought we'd drop by. - Uh-huh.

Modam must've been bothered that you left like that when you came home last time.

He kept telling us to go see you when we came to Seoul.

Good.

Uh...

They're my parents.

Hello.

Uh... Who is this?

Ah... Well...

"Hello. My name is Cha Jinwoo."

Oh, I see. It's nice to meet you.

Hello.

I'm seeing him.

You're seeing him?

Yes.

Oh.

Moeun's seeing him, honey.

I see.

By the way,

the reason I'm surprised is

because my daughter never told me that she was seeing anyone at all.

Did you understand?

He understood it. He read your lips.

- Really? - Yes.

It's nice to meet you.

Well, it must be so unexpected for him too.

Since we said hi to each other today, tell him we'll see him again next time.

Okay.

Right, Jiyu's home. You should go inside first.

- Oh, sure. - Okay.

- Well, then. See you again. - See you.

My dad said,

"See you again next time."

Meet.

Are you okay?

You must've been surprised.

EP 09 REASONS

TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

- Hey. - Hey.

There's nothing to drink.

I'll go buy some.

- Make yourselves at home! - Okay.

Maybe I should've invited him in.

He might be disappointed.

It's okay. I explained to him.

You explained to him?

How?

He's hard of hearing, isn't he?

Yes.

He can't hear at all.

He can't hear...

at all?

I'm not sure if you noticed,

I'm learning sign language these days because of him.

For difficult words, we communicate by writing,

and we have phones too.

They have speech-to-text apps.

There's no big problem.

I see.

How did he

lose his hearing?

Was he born deaf?

No.

I think it was when he was seven.

It happened after he was sick for a few days.

Oh, no.

His parents must've been so heartbroken.

By any chance, is any of his parents hearing-impaired?

I heard it could be inherited.

I don't know.

But then,

it's not like you're getting married soon.

It'd be rude to ask such personal questions.

He said he's never seen his parents.

He...

grew up at an orphanage.

You...

Goodness...

You must be having a hard time because of your work.

And now, the relationship...

Why are you taking the hard way?

I understand why you're worried.

But...

I'm really okay.

Sometimes it's hard auditioning here and there

while working part-time,

but I don't regret it.

And he...

He's a really good person.

I somehow

ended up becoming a bad daughter to you.

But I am

trying very hard to live my life

without regrets.

We

never asked you to live for us.

Or to be a good daughter.

And I know you won't do as we say.

Yes, it's the path you've chosen.

I don't intend to go against it.

So...

can you wait and see a little longer?

It might be hard,

but it's what I've chosen.

So I'll handle the consequences.

You... You brat.

We don't want to upset you,

so we can't even show how worried we are. Do you have any idea...

I'm sorry.

Right.

She has a point.

We've only met once.

Moeun.

He's tall and handsome, and seems like a good person.

DEEP

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Drinking alone?

Yes.

Want some?

Here.

But why are you back?

I met her parents just now.

Moeun's parents?

Did you say hello? What were they like?

They were kind.

Why do you look so down, then?

You know why.

Ah...

I'm sure you can understand them

since you're a father.

Of course.

If a punk like you were seeing my daughter,

I'd just beat him up like...

Just kidding.

I mean,

just the thought of Sol bringing some punk to introduce to us someday...

I get so furious.

So what did Moeun say?

She was worried about me and asked me if I was surprised.

It's something you have to go through once.

That's how the relationship between you and Moeun gets stronger.

It'll be all right.

It's here.

Your cab's here.

Thanks.

Next time you come, you should stay for three days.

From spa to chicken and beer, Go-Stop cards ,

I'll treat you to the full course.

- Okay. Let's do that. - Okay.

- Get home safe. - Okay. Don't worry and go inside.

I'll close the door for you. Have a safe trip back.

Sorry you had to kill time out here.

They looked okay.

They were pretending to be okay so I wouldn't feel upset.

Don't be so down.

Who would say on first encounter,

"Listen. Why don't you marry my daughter?"

"Marry"? Come on.

I'm just saying.

They looked okay, so it's all right.

Maybe you're right.

I was scared for nothing.

- Let's get inside. - Okay.

As you said,

we've met him just once.

Stop crying.

It's because I'm old.

My body stopped doing as I say a long time ago.

Come to think of it,

now Moeun is older

than I was

when I had her.

They say when people grow old, they become children again.

And you've become a crybaby.

Moeun is

more grown-up than us.

So stop it.

Exactly.

It's been all about what I want.

"For my child's sake"? It's all a lie.

When she quit her job,

and today too.

It doesn't matter whether he can't hear or he's an orphan.

She's seeing him because she likes him.

But I can't even be supportive and say,

"Okay. I'm happy if you're happy."

It's been so shameless of me to say,
