(Episode 104)
Mr. Kang!
Him Chan.
What are you doing here, Him Chan?
Did you come here alone?
No. I told Great-uncle Jung Ho that I missed Mr. Kang,
and he brought me here.
I'm glad you're here, Him Chan.
I missed you too, Him Chan.
Mr. Kang, are you okay now?
Yes, I'm fine now.
Then why are you still here?
When will you go home?
He can go home next week.
Then can he go for a bike ride with us next week?
For that, we'd have to wait a little longer.
But I'm sure we can do it soon.
That makes me happy.
Him Chan, I heard you prayed for me every night.
Yes, for your speedy recovery.
Thank you, Him Chan.
I'll never forget everything you did for me.
Same here. I'll never forget everything you did for us.
You saved Mom's life.
You're such a sweetheart.
Did you have to go somewhere, Mother?
Sit down for a moment.
What's the matter?
Here, try this on.
What is this?
Is this a maternity dress?
Your baby bump is starting to show.
The receipt is inside, so if you don't like it...
I love it.
Do you really like it?
Yes. I love it, Mother.
Thank you, Mother. I'll put this to good use.
About the peaches, I'm sorry.
Don't be. It was my fault.
You did nothing wrong.
You were just trying to save every penny, so I understand.
I was being too cheap.
I know it hurt your feelings.
Yes, I'll be honest.
I'd rather not eat them.
Why eat rotten peaches?
They weren't really rotten, Mother.
Are we back to square one?
No.
But you see, Mother...
I grew up poor, so I guess it's just my habit.
When I see something cheap, I can't walk past them.
Do you not want to quit that habit?
Not yet.
I don't think it's a bad habit.
That's true. It's nothing bad. It's just about taste.
But I'll be more mindful and do my best not to hurt your feelings.
All right. This is where we settle this argument.
Yes, Mother.
Oh, thank you for this dress. I'll wear this often.
Thanks, that will make me happy.
Hey, are you going out?
I have an interview.
You said no one would recommend you because of the bad rumors about you.
What do you mean you have an interview?
No one would recommend me, so I have no choice but to interview for jobs.
So? Will you be home late?
I have two interviews, so it'll take a while.
See you later.
All right. Good luck.
I feel so anxious for some reason.
Come in.
Ms. Baek Seung Ju?
Yes, that's right.
You managed Inha Fashion's design team.
Yes.
Why did you leave Inha Fashion?
It was due to personal reasons.
(Interviewers)
May we ask you what those "personal reasons" were?
Well, I'd just like to let you know that I successfully carried out all my tasks.
Is there a reason you're trying to evade the question?
We'll be honest with you.
We already know everything about you.
We also know what you did at Inha Fashion.
I beg your pardon?
Well, you blew the whistle on the company owner's family,
and that was the biggest reason Inha Fashion's stock price plummeted.
Am I wrong?
We believe this interview is pointless.
Please leave.
You have no shame, Ms. Baek.
We're sorry,
but we will never hire a shameless person like you.
Oh, honey. Do you need something?
I want a glass of water.
Hold on. I'll get it for you.
No need.
I got it.
You can use things like this...
against me during our divorce litigation.
I won't let that happen.
Are you really going to be like this?
What do you mean?
Are you really going to divorce me?
Don't you know that I've already filed for divorce?
Honey!
So just get ready for the lawsuit.
The water tastes so good.
Honey.
Honey!
Hey, you're here.
Where is Dong Hee?
I told her you'd be coming,
so she left earlier with Him Chan.
She said you might be uncomfortable if you saw Him Chan.
I should thank her for being so considerate.
So what's happening with you and Dong Hee?
Are you guys back together?
Yes.
I'm glad to hear that.
What about you and Seung Ju?
Did you two get a divorce?
Yes. Many things happened while you were in a coma.
Dad stepped down as CEO,
I got a divorce,
and Mom and Dad have filed for divorce too.
Mother and Father? Why?
Dad found out that Mom tried to frame you.
I'm divorced now,
and even my parents might get a divorce. It makes me sad.
I wish Dad could give Mom another chance.
Having said that,
can you talk to him about it?
Me?
Why? Do you want them to split up?
I never said that.
Okay, I'll try to talk to Father about it.
Thanks.
You don't need to thank me. They're my parents too, you see.
So you'll be discharged next week?
Yes. I should be discharged before your trial...
so I can attend the trial too.
Auntie Myung Sook, Uncle Jung Ho. I'm home.
- Welcome home. - Sit down.
You already look so much better.
Do I?
Of course. A huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders.
How's Cha Yeol? Is he recovering well?
Yes. His doctor is amazed by how fast he's recovering.
I'm so glad to hear that.
So what's happening with you and Cha Yeol?
What is it? You haven't had a chance to talk to him yet?
I have, and I asked him to get back together with me.
Is that okay, Auntie Myung Sook?
I can't be against it.
What happened was unforgivable, but he saved your life.
So we should forgive and accept him.
Frankly, his family was the culprit, not him.
That's right.
Jae Seok must be rooting for the two of you as well.
So don't worry about a thing. Just get back together with him, okay?
Okay. Thank you for saying that, Uncle Jung Ho.
So will you guys move to the US after you get married as you had planned?
We haven't discussed the details yet,
but I don't think so.
We were going to move to the US because of Ms. Baek,
but she and Director Kang got a divorce.
Really? That's great news.
Honey, you shouldn't be so happy about someone's divorce.
What's wrong with that?
He should've divorced her long ago.
So will you two get married before the end of the year?
I'm not sure.
We'll decide what to do depending on the results of the trial.
In any case, I'm glad we can finally get closure...
on Jae Seok's hit-and-run accident.
I know.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
How have you been, Dong Hee?
I've been well. What about you? You've been well too, right?
You know, same old.
It's good to hear your voice, Dong Hee!
Hi. It's good to hear your voice too, Jong Min.
We can catch up later.
Dong Hee, we're hiring a new intern for the design team.
Are you interested?
You're hiring an intern?
Why? You don't want to be an intern anymore?
It's not that. I left the company of my own accord.
I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to apply for the position.
Who cares? The HR department said it was fine.
So? Are you interested?
Well... Yes, if I am allowed to apply.
Yes, you're totally allowed. Then we'll think that you're applying.
Okay. Thank you, Ms. Kim.
All right.
So Mom bought you this dress?
Yes.
So go apologize to her now.
Go on.
Okay.
This is so pretty.
I'm sorry, Mom.
For what?
Good question. I don't know what I'm apologizing for either,
but Ja Young told me to apologize to you.
What? You brat...
Come on. Of course, I know.
I should stay neutral when you two fight.
Can you just not fight? It puts me in such a difficult position.
If you two don't fight, I won't have to take anyone's side.
Right, Dad?
Yes, that is true.
Well, the peach incident has been resolved then.
Then stop sulking, will you?
I'm not like you, Mom.
Oh, boy.
Thank you, Mr. Jang.
For throwing out the old towels and replacing them with the new ones.
So are you in a better mood now?
Of course. You listened to me. I'm in such a good mood now.
Great. Your mood matters to me a lot more than those old towels.
Thank you, Mr. Jang.
But you see, we'll have more disagreements like this.
And from time to time, we'll get our feelings hurt.
Will you do as I say every time because you won't want to upset me?
Sure, if that's what you want.
No. I'm not that selfish and self-centered.
You can't be the only one making sacrifices in the relationship.
I'll concede too, so let's work together.
I'll try my best.
Thanks for saying that, Jung Eun. I feel much better now.
I guess this is why they say losing is winning sometimes.
That's right. Losing is winning.
Hey, Cha Yeol. How are you feeling?
Good.
You're recovering very quickly.
I'm so glad.
I want to recover as quickly as possible.
Yes, you should.
Father.
I heard you sued Mother for divorce.
Did Sung Wook tell you?
Yes.
She refused to sign the divorce papers,
so I had no choice.
Father.
Father, can't you withdraw your divorce petition?
What?
Can't you just stay with her?
After what she did to you?
Why are you asking me not to divorce her?
Have you forgotten everything?
No, it's not that.
Then what is it?
She visited me a few days ago.
She did?
What did she say?
Did she say mean things again?
No.
She apologized to me.
Really? She did?
Yes.
She also said she was worried sick, thinking I might never wake up.
What's gotten into her?
I'm surprised she said that.
I was surprised too.
So forgive her just this once.
Please?
Even so, I can't forgive her just like that.
Do it for my sake, Father.
If you two get a divorce, I'll feel like it's my fault.
I'll feel so bad, Father.
Why is it your fault?
That's just how I feel.
Well, I'll decide what to do.
Just focus on your recovery.
Okay.
Did you visit Cha Yeol?
Yes.
Okay, good night.
Honey.
I heard you visited Cha Yeol a few days ago.
You heard?
Yes, I did.
I heard you apologized to Cha Yeol.
Is it true?
I know I wronged him.
And I was devastated that Cha Yeol ended up like that because of me.
You were actually devastated?
What do you take me for?
We didn't even know whether Cha Yeol would make it or not.
Of course, I was devastated.
You were always so cold to him.
I know I was cold to him in the past,
but I couldn't be like that when he was on the verge of death.
Does that answer your question?
(JH General Hospital)
Congratulations, Mr. Kang. You can finally go home.
Thank you for everything, Doctor.
Come back and see me once a month.
Make sure you exercise regularly at home.
Okay, I will.
You took such good care of him.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
No problem.
Are you all right?
Are you ready to leave?
Yes.
Thank you so much for everything, Dong Hee.
I didn't even do much.
That's not true. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible.
All right, that's enough. We should get going.
Yes, let's go.
Welcome home.
Welcome home, Cha Yeol.
Thank you, Mother.
You haven't fully recovered yet.
Go upstairs and get some rest. Sung Wook, take him upstairs.
Okay, Dad. Let's go.
Okay.
Honey, let's talk.
Rest up.
Thanks, Sung Wook.
Oh, right.
Hey.
Where are Dong Hee's brother's ashes kept?
Why do you ask?
Do you want to visit him?
Yes.
I have no idea what will happen at the trial,
so I want to visit him before the trial.
Yes, you should.
Text me the address.
Will do.
What is it? Did I do something wrong again?
You are preparing for the divorce lawsuit, right?
Honey.
Forgive me just this once.
I'm begging you like this.
Please forgive me just this once.
Forgive me just this one time,
and I'll never let you down again. Okay?
Please, honey.
Can I really trust you on that?
Yes, of course! You can trust me.
If I let you down again,
I will leave of my own accord. I really will!
Can you promise me that?
Yes, I can!
So you'll withdraw the divorce petition, right?
I already did.
What?
Thank you so much.
I am giving you one last chance for our sons' sake,
so you should thank them.
Okay, I will.
Did you get home safely?
Yes. You got home safely too, right?
Of course.
Oh, right. Sung Wook just went out to go visit your brother.
Really? I'm glad to hear that.
I know it's really late,
but I'm still glad we can do this now.
(Seo Jae Seok)
I'm really sorry it took me this long.
I'll pay for what I did.
Rest in peace.
I'm really...
I'm really sorry.
(Mirae District Court)
We will now begin...
the trial for Case Number 2022-GD123.
Around midnight...
on December 20, 2014,
the victim, Seo Jae Seok,
was killed in a hit-and-run accident at Samyi Intersection in Taean.
The driver fled the scene immediately after the accident.
This trial is taking place today...
as the accused, Mr. Kang Sung Wook, confessed eight years after the accident.
The fact that Mr. Kang Sung Wook turned himself in...
can be considered a mitigating factor.
(Judge)
However, he used force to stop Mr. Kang Cha Yeol...
when he tried to call the police.
And the fact that he waited eight years to turn himself in...
is deemed to be an aggravating circumstance.
Ergo, I hereby announce the court's decision.
Please stand up.
Mr. Kang Cha Yeol, who was also in the car at the time,
tried to call the police immediately after the accident...
but couldn't.
Due to such mitigating factors,
Mr. Kang Cha Yeol is acquitted.
Thank goodness. This is such good news, Dong Hee.
Mr. Kang Sung Wook, who drove the car,
voluntarily turned himself in as explained earlier.
Also, he sincerely apologized to the victim's family.
The victim's family does not want him to be punished...
and has even filed a petition, which could serve as a mitigating factor.
However, the fact that he waited eight years...
and used force to stop Mr. Kang Cha Yeol when he tried to call the police...
are deemed to be aggravating factors.
I will now announce the court's decision.
The accused, Mr. Kang Sung Wook,
is sentenced to six months in prison.
Honey.
Let's go.
Sung Wook.
Take good care of Mom and Dad while I'm gone.
Okay, don't worry.
(Bravo, My Life)
We'll do a little test to see how strong and fit...
the bride and groom are.
In 1, 2, 3!
So? You got the job?
What did I tell you? I said I'd land the job for sure this time.
It'll be very hard for Ms. Baek to stay in this industry.
Are you out of your mind? We can't work with someone like that.
