#3. The old man's fiance
여 주
Who are you meeting today that brought you here?
최승철
Ah~ I'm going to introduce you to my fiancé today.
여 주
Huh? Sir, did you have a fiancée?
최승철
Yes~
최승철
But why is the response so lukewarm?
최승철
I thought you'd say something like "Huh~?!!!! Really?!!!!"
여 주
Hahahaha, what would change if I said that?
최승철
hmm..
최승철
'I could tell you liked me. But you didn't. You really see me as an old man.'
최승철
"Get a grip, Choi Seung-cheol. You're just someone who's raising Yeo-ju. A guardian."
김예나
Oppa-!!
최승철
Hey? Hi!
김예나
Oppa, hasn't it been so long since we last saw each other?
최승철
Yeah, it's been a while
김예나
But who?
최승철
Oh! You saw that article? That guy!
김예나
Ah~
김예나
hi!
여 주
hello!
여 주
'Can a person be that pretty..?'
최승철
Sit down first
Current seat
여 주
Uh... I'll sit across from you!
최승철
No, no
최승철
Yena, can you sit across from me?
김예나
Ah! Yes!
최승철
What do you want to eat, Yeoju?
여 주
I'm fine with anything!
최승철
Oh? Really?
최승철
What about Yena?
김예나
I'll eat the same thing my brother eats!
최승철
So what do you want to drink?
김예나
I'm wine!
최승철
The female protagonist is still a minor, so do you want to drink soda?
여 주
yes
최승철
I'd like three T-bone steaks, a glass of wine, and two glasses of soda.
직 원
All right
(Food comes out)
최승철
(Slicing the Yeoju steak)
여 주
Uh... I can cut it and eat it...
최승철
Hey... but he's still a baby...
여 주
What kind of baby is it;
여 주
I'm all grown up now that I'm 18...
최승철
At 18, you're still a baby!!
최승철
Is Yena 22 years old this year?
김예나
yes
최승철
They're all young...
최승철
Am I the only one who's gotten old?
김예나
Oppa! Oppa, you're 24, so you're young too!
김예나
But oppa, when are we getting married?
최승철
You don't plan on doing it yet?
최승철
Let's take it slow
최승철
About 5 years later?
김예나
Huh? That late?
김예나
Are you planning to make a second one, oppa?
최승철
I don't make second
최승철
I'm the type of person who only loves one person
김예나
Then will you only love me?
최승철
(laugh)
김예나
What does that smile mean?
최승철
No, it's just cute
최승철
I have to go to the bathroom, they're talking
여 주
yes
김예나
Yes, brother!
(After Seungcheol leaves)
김예나
hey
여 주
Uh...me?
김예나
Yeah, you;
김예나
It's really absurd that you're deliberately approaching my brother and trying to seduce him by living together;
김예나
Hey; you can't even get into second;
여 주
I think you're misunderstanding something.
여 주
I never tried to seduce you
여 주
I never approached you on purpose.
김예나
Where is the lie;
김예나
I won't even look at a beggar like you, so get out of my brother's presence
김예나
You wear expensive clothes, eat expensive food, and are next to a rich person, so they think you are a rich person and act like you are rich;
김예나
It doesn't change the fact that you're a beggar with no parents;
여 주
Wh..what did you say?
여 주
J..Excuse me..Aren't you being a bit harsh?
여 주
You don't have parents;
여 주
Are you telling me whether my parents are alive or not?
김예나
So, it's not that they don't have parents, but that their parents abandoned them?
김예나
Because it's too dirty and ugly?
여 주
'You have to endure it, heroine. You're the uncle's fiancée. You have to endure it for the uncle's sake.'
여 주
Abandoned? Do you know why I went to the foster care center?
김예나
I guess I was abandoned since you didn't tell me why you left.
김예나
That's because you're trash;
김예나
It is natural for trash to be thrown away;
김예나
And don't stick around my brother;
김예나
Don't even wag your tail;
여 주
I never did that!!
여 주
How many times do I have to tell you? To me, you are still an old man;
김예나
What are you talking about; you've been wagging your tail since earlier;
김예나
It's really shallow;
김예나
Are all abandoned kids like you like this?
김예나
This is why I hate trash like you;
여 주
'I had to endure it... I had to endure it... I couldn't endure it...'
여 주
(Gets up from his seat)
김예나
Why? Are you going already?
김예나
I haven't even started yet?
match-
김예나
...?!!!!
김예나
N..you..what did you do just now?!!
최승철
Hey!!!! Choi Yeo-ju!!!
최승철
What are you doing?!!!!
최승철
Yena, are you okay?!!
최승철
What happened?!!
김예나
Ugh..the female protagonist.. ugh..hit my cheek for no reason..
김예나
(started crying)
여 주
That's not it...
최승철
Don't make excuses, just tell me, Choi Yeo-ju
여 주
"I had no one on my side. No one protected me. It was all my fault. I wanted to escape that situation."
여 주
"So I avoided that situation. I just left. I just ran. Without a destination."
여 주
"I was just running and ended up at a park. I used to go there often with my younger brother, who's now 15 and in the US."
여 주
"Back then, there were two of us. Now, it's just me. I have no one on my side. No one to protect me. No one to listen to me."
여 주
'I'm alone. I'm alone.'
여 주
"Why am I crying? I was the one who was wrong... I hit him first..."
Jiying-
여 주
I looked at my phone and saw a call. As expected, it was from my uncle. I quietly turned the phone off. I just wanted to be alone.
여 주
Tears poured down my phone. A part of my heart ached. It felt like the wounds I'd been holding onto were festering and about to burst.
여 주
"I want to be just another female protagonist without a surname, not Choi Yeo-ju. I want to go back to the foster care center."
(After a while)
여 주
'Before I knew it, the sun had set.'
여 주
"Will you be looking for me? Or will you be at home? I think you're in the latter group. Even without you, it's rare to find someone who beat up someone they love."
여 주
"What should I say when I get home? Why did I hit you? Say I'm sorry? Or should I get on my knees?"
여 주
'I regret it hundreds of times now. I shouldn't have hit you... I should have endured it a little longer... If only I had endured it a little longer, if only I had suffered a little less, nothing... would have happened.'
여 주
'It's all my fault. It's all my fault.'
여 주
"That's why it's hard... It's all my fault. I'm sorry. It hurts even more."
여 주
'Should I go home... or where should I go?'
여 주
'I turned on my phone stealthily'
여 주
'As expected... 60 calls... 34 texts...'
여 주
'The time is 7 o'clock...'
여 주
'I thought it would be better not to look at the text. It would have been more difficult if I had.'
여 주
'What should I do?'
여 주
'I guess I'll have to make a phone call first...'
여 주
under..
여 주
'What makes me nervous...'
여 주
(made a phone call)
최승철
hello?!!
최승철
Choi Yeo-ju!!!
최승철
Where are you now?!!!
여 주
...
최승철
Where are you!!!!
Stop..
여 주
'I was embarrassed... It was the first time I'd ever heard the old man yell...'
여 주
'I was so embarrassed... I hung up the phone... I felt like I did something really wrong... I became even more confused...'
여 주
'Ugh...what should I do...'
여 주
'There is no one on my side, no one to listen to me, no one to protect me... There is no one by my side...'
여 주
'Should I go home?'
비 서
miss!
여 주
Uh... why is Secretary Lee here...?
비 서
Miss, have you been here all this time?
비 서
The CEO is looking for me right now and it's a mess!
비 서
Let's go to the CEO's house first, young lady.
여 주
If I don't go... is that okay?
비 서
If I don't take him, I'll get in trouble with the CEO.
여 주
Ah.. Then I'll go..! I don't want Secretary Lee to get in trouble!
(arrive)
(in front of the door)
Ding dong-
최승철
who are you?
비 서
Sir, the young lady is here.
최승철
The heroine?!!
비 서
yes.
비 서
I'll send it in now.
최승철
Oh, I see
여 주
'Ha.. Choi Yeo-ju.. Go in and decide not to cry, apologize, and ask for forgiveness.. It's all your fault..'
여 주
'I hesitated a few times before going in..'
최승철
Sit down, Choi Yeo-ju;
여 주
As soon as I entered, the man spoke angrily to me and told me to sit down. Next to him was his fiancée.
최승철
Why did you hit me?
여 주
...
여 주
"I didn't tell the truth. I didn't want to cause a rift between you and your fiancée. I thought, 'Your fiancée must have had her own circumstances.' If I'm the only one struggling, no one else will. If I'm the only one hurting, no one else will."
여 주
'If I don't say anything, it'll all be my fault. But I'd rather it be my fault.'
최승철
say;
여 주
Ugh...I just hit him...
여 주
'The old man looked angry when he heard that.'
최승철
What do you want to say to Yena?
여 주
sorry..
여 주
I won't do that again.
김예나
Hey~ It's okay! It must have been a mistake!
여 주
'It was creepy how the tone of speech changed...'
최승철
This isn't a mistake; it's intentional;
김예나
Hey, why are you killing the child like that?
김예나
Hey! I have a meeting, so I have to go now! Bye! Yeoju!
최승철
already?
김예나
Already! It's 7:30 already?
최승철
Is it already like that?
최승철
Is the place you hit earlier okay?
최승철
Please understand a little because you are kind.
여 주
"Because you're kind... please understand a little... those words struck me hard."
최승철
I'm sorry I raised my child wrong.
여 주
'Ah... I shouldn't cry... Tears are welling up...'
김예나
Hey~ It's okay!
김예나
See you next time, Oppa!
최승철
Hey! Listen carefully
김예나
yes
(After Yena leaves)
최승철
Choi Yeo-ju.
최승철
Why did you do that;
최승철
Who are you to hit Yena and make a fuss;
최승철
And what did you do right that you're crying?
여 주
'Those countless words struck my heart.'
여 주
sorry..
여 주
After listening to me, the old man went into his room.
Tiring-
여 주
'I got a text and looked at it'
김예나
✉Text: You're good at acting nice, right? Did you think I'd end up like this? No, we haven't even started yet; From now on, don't come near my brother; It's dirty;
여 주
...
여 주
'My chest started to hurt, and my head started to hurt. I just... just... wanted to disappear from this place. Would they be happy if I weren't here?'
여 주
'I wish someone would just help me... I wish I could just disappear like this...'
