(Episode 113)
Mom?
Hey... Jan Di.
Why...
Mom, you said you would go pay the bill.
Then why are you here?
Well... The thing is...
And who is she, Mom?
Jan Di, let's go out and talk.
Mom, who is that girl? And why were you holding her in your arms?
She's the child I've been sponsoring whom I told you about.
Oh, I see.
She seemed so young.
Is she really very ill?
She's in critical condition and needs to get a bone marrow transplant urgently.
I feel sorry for her.
That's why...
I really hope you will decide to help her.
I'll think about it.
Also, you should not tell your dad or anyone else in our family, okay?
Why?
Your dad and grandma would be worried if they found out.
So until you make your decision,
let's keep this between us, okay?
Okay.
(Join us and sign up to be a hematopoietic stem cell donor!)
Thank you. You can stop now.
Sir, please have some sujeonggwa.
Oh, thank you for this.
Mr. Geum, I thought you had left for the day.
I have some work left to do.
I've been wanting to ask you about something.
I'm glad you're still here.
What is it that you want to ask me about?
Why haven't I heard anything from you yet?
Pardon me?
My father is asking you about the family meeting.
Hasn't the family issue been sorted out yet?
I think I need some more time to get it sorted out. I'm sorry.
Well... I see.
Then go and finish what you were doing so that you can go home.
Yes, sir.
What are your thoughts on it, Chan Ran?
It seems to me...
that his in-laws are trying to stop him from getting remarried.
Now that I heard what you said, I think you have a point.
I mean, Mi Rae seems so downcast lately as well.
How about you meet Kang San's mother-in-law?
Shall I do that?
Yes.
Mi Rae.
Why haven't you left for the day until this hour?
I told you I would wait for you to come back.
I have nothing else to say to you. Please leave now.
I...
have something I must tell you.
From now on,
do not carry the burden alone...
when Jan Di's mom wrongs you...
even if that's to keep Jan Di from getting hurt emotionally.
I implore you.
And...
For the suffering that Jan Di's mom put you through,
I apologize on her behalf.
I'm sorry.
I don't want Jan Di to be hurt emotionally anymore.
I know...
that you care about and love Jan Di more than anyone else.
So...
For the sake of me and Jan Di,
please don't leave us.
Mi Rae, please.
Kang San, please stop being like this.
I already told you that I wasn't the one who should be by your side.
Kyu Sun, how could you humiliate me like that?
How can I see Mr. Choi without feeling guilty now?
You're the one who's to blame. How could you trick me...
into being in such a ridiculous situation?
Do you know how dumbfounded I was?
What did you just say? "Ridiculous?"
Yes, I said "ridiculous." Why? Is what I said wrong?
Both of you, please stop it.
And Father, you were out of line this time.
I wasn't out of line.
Since your aunt was dating a good-for-nothing,
I had no choice but to step in.
Whatever.
I've been having heartburn...
and indigestion, which stresses me out.
Anyway, never arrange a blind date for me again. Do you understand?
You should start dating a decent man before saying something like that.
Auntie Kyu Sun, maybe you should go see a doctor.
That's not necessary. It's all caused by stress.
Because your father separated me and Doo Ho against our will,
I've been emotionally suffering due to pent-up anger.
You just said you couldn't digest food.
Then why are you eating so much fruit?
I don't know why, but I keep craving fruit since it's sweet and sour.
(Join us and sign up to be a hematopoietic stem cell donor!)
Jan Di.
If you muster up your courage,
you can save her life.
Jan Di.
Dad, you're very late today.
Yes.
Jan Di, are you worried about something? Why do you look so troubled?
The only thing I'm worried about is...
that Jun Pyo keeps chasing me because he has a crush on me,
which bothers me a little. That's all.
Oh, I see.
And... Well... Dad.
I'm sorry...
that I've been mean to you.
I'm sorry to Ms. Ok too.
Mi Rae fully understands your struggles.
Do you really think she does?
I'm sure of it.
Then I'm relieved.
- Your food tastes even better lately. - Oh, dear.
You're going to gain some weight.
Oh, why did you bring out Jan Di's backpack?
It looks dirty. I'm going to wash it.
- But Jan Di needs a bag for school. - I see.
She has another one, Ye Ju.
What?
It's a leaflet about hematopoietic stem cell donation.
Why does Jan Di have this?
- What is it, Kang San? - What?
Oh, it's odd, just as you said. Why was this in Jan Di's backpack?
What is it?
- Oh, no. Give me that. - "Hematopoietic stem cell donation..."
Jan Di, where did you get that?
When I went to the hospital for the health checkup the other day,
I took this leaflet from the hospital.
Oh, I see. I guess it's nothing to worry about.
That reminds me. Did your test results come out? Did you ask your mom?
What? The test results are all fine, apparently.
Sweetie pie, can you show me the leaflet?
- Show me. - Here.
"Be a hematopoietic stem cell donor?" What does this mean?
"Hematopoietic stem cell" is what people usually call "bone marrow."
"Bone marrow?" Isn't donating bone marrow very painful?
The procedure is much simpler these days, as far as I heard.
And it's meaningful because you can save someone's life, Mother.
- Oh, I see. - Then I guess it's a good thing, Dad.
Can I donate mine?
What? You'll do that?
Gosh, no. Don't let her. She's too young to do it.
Your grandma is right, Jan Di. Have you lost your mind?
- Right. - Well... I was just saying.
Jan Di, you're too young for it.
It won't be too late if you consider it when you grow up.
And you should be careful with making that decision.
I understand, Dad.
Kang San.
Just as you asked,
I'll file the divorce petition today.
Thank you for doing this, Sang Soo.
Don't mention it.
I wrote that you want sole custody over Jan Di,
but no alimony.
Are you sure you don't want to receive any alimony and child rearing expenses?
Well, I want...
nothing but Jan Di.
All right, then.
You have the advantage of getting custody, so don't worry about it.
Sun Ju abandoned and neglected Jan Di when she was a baby,
and you raised Jan Di by yourself.
Moreover, you're the only biological parent of Jan Di...
who's been by her side until now.
Well... Sang Soo.
Well... Being her biological parent...
- I mean... - What about being a biological parent?
Never mind.
Oh, boy. Where did the time go? I'll get going.
- Okay. Have a nice day. - You too.
Kang San.
Are you leaving for work now?
Yes. I waited to see you briefly before leaving.
I'm so relieved that you changed your mind.
I won't ever say I'll leave you again.
Thank you.
Thank you for not letting me go when I was faltering.
But Mi Rae.
I think we shouldn't keep lying about Jan Di's mom...
to your family members anymore.
What do you think we should do?
Well, I agree with you on that,
but if my mom finds out,
she might disapprove of our relationship more strongly than before.
Then I'll...
tell the elders in a way that they won't be too shocked.
All right. Let's do as you suggested.
- Sun Dal, Doo Ho is in the room, right? - Oh, my.
Sunny, why are you doing this? You've held back until now.
Come on. I can't go on without seeing him any longer. That's why.
Listen to me, Sunny.
Mr. Kim seems very determined to keep his promise.
He's been trying to get a new job.
So you'd better not stir up emotions in him.
You see, I even got sick because I missed him so much.
I haven't been able to digest food well, so I can't eat a lot of food.
Then wait here for a moment, okay?
Mr. Kim, I'm sorry, but can you come out for a second?
What's going on?
Oh, my. Kyu Sun, what brings you here?
Doo Ho!
You shouldn't have come here.
Kyu Sun, have you forgotten the promise we made to your brother?
I came here because I missed you so much.
Didn't you miss me, Doo Ho?
You should leave now.
Don't be like this.
Let's have a brief chat while looking at each other, okay?
I said, leave now!
Doo Ho.
Gosh, Mr. Kim. Why would you yell at her? She must've been startled.
She would've had a miscarriage if she'd been pregnant.
Mr. Kim is so heartless. He made her feel embarrassed.
Also, why would he...
keep the door closed all the time in this hot weather?
They say, "Out of sight, out of mind."
I think Doo Ho's feelings for me have changed.
Oh, no. Sunny, wait. Hey.
- Goodness. - Sunny, how about I... Oh, boy.
Oh, dear.
I feel so sorry for her. It breaks my heart to see her.
What's wrong with him?
Well... Sir.
Did Ms. Hwang step out?
Sorry? Why? Why are you asking for her?
I have something to tell you and Ms. Hwang.
I see. But Chan Ran went out with Soo Ji to meet your mother-in-law...
and discuss the family meeting with her.
She went out to meet my mother-in-law?
Yes.
Since you seemed to be unsure about how to talk to your mother-in-law,
I told Chan Ran to go to see her without telling you.
Oh, boy.
Oh, you want to have the family meeting next week?
Yes. I don't see any reason why we should put it off any longer.
So I'd like to have the family meeting sometime next week.
Would that work for you?
Pardon? Well... I'm not sure.
I mean, the weather is still so hot.
We'll meet at a hotel restaurant that will be air-conditioned.
You're worried for nothing.
Oh, my. Hotel restaurants are very expensive.
That's right. Because we're not doing so well financially,
we would feel more comfortable having the meeting at a reasonable place.
It's just as she said.
We'll take care of the expense, so don't worry.
- Well... - Well...
We don't want to owe to you like that when we'll meet up officially...
- for the first time. - Exactly.
That's weird. You don't have to pay for anything. Wouldn't that be nice?
Pardon?
It's nice, but that's not the only reason.
I mean, I don't think we should rush it.
You can't be too careful when you make a decision on marriage.
But the two of them are deeply in love with each other.
There's no reason to hesitate.
I mean, our family will prepare everything for their wedding.
And Mr. Geum doesn't even have to bring cutlery for him and Mi Rae.
Bluntly speaking, he'll get married without spending a single penny.
Without spending a single penny?
Soo Ji, I told you to watch your words.
- But... - Well... Ms. Ma.
For the sake of their relationship,
shouldn't you make your decision very soon?
- Well... - Mom.
- Yes? - What do we do?
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
What? Your wife came back alive?
Yes, sir.
I can't believe this. Your wife, who was thought to be dead, is back alive?
That's nonsense.
I'm sorry...
that I couldn't tell you this sooner.
What about Mi Rae? Does she know this too?
Yes, Mi Rae knows it too.
So what are you planning to do?
I'm going to file a suit for divorce against Jan Di's mother.
And when the divorce is finalized,
I'll be able to get married to Mi Rae.
You'll file a suit for divorce?
That means your wife doesn't want to get a divorce.
That's true.
But I'll get it sorted out even if it takes a long time.
Chan Ran will throw a fit once again if she finds out about this.
Listen. For the time being,
don't tell the others in my family.
What?
But I think I should tell Ms. Hwang.
It was hard for her to approve of you marrying Mi Rae.
She'll be in great shock if she finds out there's another issue to be sorted out.
Just do as I say.
Understood, sir.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Oh, dear. I'm so sorry...
that I couldn't give you a clear answer when you came all the way here.
It's not that you're against their marriage, is it?
Gosh, no. None of us is against their marriage.
But the thing is,
my family is dealing with a situation right now.
- What I'm saying is... - My gosh. What situation?
Mr. Geum, too, said there was a family issue to be sorted out,
but never explained the details to us, which frustrated us.
Do you mind me asking what the issue is?
The truth is...
- Mom. - Well... What?
- Gosh. - Oh, my.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
I see that you're having a guest.
I'm sorry, but we should go back inside now.
- Let's go in. - Goodbye.
Go home safely.
Go home safely. Hurry up and go inside.
Mother, what do you think is going on?
They just kept avoiding giving us a clear answer.
Exactly.
And about the lady who went into the store with them...
Didn't she look familiar to you, Mother?
Well... I don't know. I think she looked a little familiar.
Where did I see her? She seemed familiar.
Also, I think I heard her calling Ms. Ma "Mom"...
and heard Ms. Lee addressing her as her sister.
I have to find out who she is. I'll be right back, Mother.
Chan Ran.
- Oh, my. - Chan Ran.
- Ms. Dong. - Hey.
Kyu Sun, what's the matter?
I think Doo Ho doesn't love me anymore.
What are you saying? Kyu Sun, try to calm down.
Let's go into your bakery and talk about it.
Okay, Chan Ran.
- Let's go. You even left the door open. - I'm so sad.
Let's go in. Come on.
(Sun Bakery)
Soo Ji.
What are you doing there? Come in.
Yes, Mother. I'm coming.
By the way, who were those people?
What? Oh, they're our customers...
- who live uptown. - Right.
Oh, I see.
How did they find your store when they live in a wealthy neighborhood?
- What? - What?
- Someone told them about our store. - Right.
I'm impressed. I guess your business is doing very well.
By the way, Mom, you should pay more attention to what you feed Jan Di.
She's too skinny.
You have no idea. Just like you,
she doesn't gain weight easily even when she eats a lot.
- Goodness, you. - Everyone in our family is like you.
- The same goes for me. - That's right.
Anyway, please feed her more nutritious food...
and make sure she eats well so that she can gain some weight.
Goodness, you. You sure are her mother. You silly.
Jan Di, will you really not take classes at the art academy?
No, I won't. Just for the time being.
I get so bored because you're not there.
My aunt talks a lot about you too.
Does she?
Don't you miss her?
Jan Di, can't you come back to the academy?
Hey, let's not talk about it anymore.
Jun Pyo.
If you had a chance to save someone's life,
how would you feel?
How would I save that person's life?
Well...
You've heard of bone marrow donation, right?
Of course, I have heard of it.
Are you going to donate your bone marrow?
Jun Pyo, this is a secret.
- Auntie Mi Rae. - Oh.
Jun Pyo, why are you so late?
I met Jan Di before coming here.
How's Jan Di? Is she doing well?
Auntie Mi Rae, I need to talk to you.
What's wrong?
Jan Di asked me not to tell anyone no matter what.
But I think I should step in.
Why? What's going on?
You won't believe this. Her mother asked her...
to donate her bone marrow.
What?
Hi, Mi Rae. I was going to call you to tell you something.
What did you say? Jan Di?
Goodness. What should I do?
Mom wants me to do it so desperately.
So should I donate my bone marrow?
- Jan Di. - Oh, Dad.
Did your mom tell you to donate your bone marrow?
How did you know that?
Tell me. Did your mom really tell you to do that?
Gosh. I guess Jun Pyo blabbered about it already.
Geum Jan Di!
Answer my question. Did your mom tell you to donate your bone marrow?
Yes.
There's this kid Mom has been sponsoring.
Her life will be in danger if I don't donate my bone marrow to her.
And I saw the kid at the hospital.
What?
Which hospital was it?
(Korea National University Hospital)
Sun Ju.
Kang San.
Did you...
ask Jan Di to donate her bone marrow?
Oh, that... Actually...
There's a child I've been sponsoring.
I felt pity for her, so I asked Jan Di the favor.
Fortunately, Jan Di is a match.
Can't you see how absurd this is?
How could you make Jan Di have the test done behind my back?
I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you in advance.
Let's not disturb the patients and go out to talk.
Let's go.
Seriously...
Mom.
Yes?
Wait in the room.
Mom, who is this man?
Sun Ju.
Is she...
your daughter?
Auntie Kyu Sun, no. Don't take the medicine.
- What's with you? - Maybe you're not having indigestion.
Mi Rae, didn't Mr. Geum tell you anything?
It seemed like they were putting off Mr. Geum's wedding intentionally.
Oh, that... The thing is...
Dad, what's wrong? Are you crying?
Jan Di.
This place is so nice. I'm amazed. Wait.
What is this? No way.
