(Episode 112)
- Kid, I'm sorry to bother you. - Yes?
Have you seen this child?
No, I haven't seen him.
- Hey, kid. - Yes?
Have you seen this boy?
No, I haven't.
Excuse me.
Did this boy come here?
No, I don't think I saw him.
Excuse me. I'm looking for my son.
Did he come here, by any chance?
No.
I see.
Dong Hee.
You haven't found Him Chan yet, have you?
No.
You haven't either?
No. Gosh. Where did he go?
Let's ask them.
Excuse me, sir.
Have you seen a little boy who's this tall?
A little boy?
This is his photo.
Could he be the same boy?
What do you mean? Did you see him?
On my way here,
I saw a little kid sitting on a bench at the park over there.
Thank you, sir.
Let's go and check, Dong Hee.
Thank you.
This is where he saw Him Chan.
Are you okay, Dong Hee?
Him Chan must be fine, right?
Of course.
I'm sure he's fine. Don't worry.
Him Chan.
Where in the world are you? And what are you doing?
Him Chan.
Hey, Tae Pyung, didn't you find him?
No. Didn't you guys find him either?
No.
Where on earth did he go?
Dong Hee must have reported to the police.
Yes, she did.
Then we have to trust the police and wait.
Let's go in for now.
Okay.
(Police)
Hello. Haven't you found my son Him Chan yet?
We're doing our best. Everyone is out looking for him.
So please don't worry too much and wait at home.
Please find my son. I'm imploring you.
Of course. We'll do everything we can.
Then we'll keep looking for him on our own.
Please call us when you find him.
Sure.
Let's go, Dong Hee.
Hasn't Him Chan been found yet?
No.
Is Cha Dol sleeping?
Yes.
I'm worried if something bad happened to Him Chan.
Don't even say such a horrible thing.
Nothing bad has happened to him.
He'll be back safely.
Hey, how did it go?
Didn't you find Him Chan?
No, Auntie Myung Sook.
Hasn't the police called you yet?
Not yet. But we heard everyone available was out looking for him.
Then they'll find him shortly. Don't worry too much, Dong Hee.
Right. You know how reliable Korean police are.
We'll hear good news shortly. Let's wait, okay?
What if we can never find Him Chan?
Then what will happen to him?
You shouldn't say such an ominous thing, Dong Hee.
Hey, how did it go?
Did you find Him Chan?
No.
Did you call Dong Hee?
No.
Then call her now. She might have found him.
What are you waiting for? Call her now.
Okay.
(Senior Manager Baek Seung Ju)
Who is it? Is it Him Chan?
No.
Then is it the police?
(Senior Manager Baek Seung Ju)
Ms. Baek Seung Ju.
What?
How brazen. How can she even call you?
(Baek Seung Ju)
Why?
I'm calling you because Dong Hee didn't pick up.
Haven't you found Him Chan yet?
No.
It's been many hours since he disappeared.
Why can't the police find a mere little boy?
Are you worried about Him Chan at all?
What are you saying?
Of course, I'm worried. Why wouldn't I be?
Oh, you're worried about him?
Then why did you tell him the truth?
Baek Seung Ju.
You care more about yourself than you care about Him Chan.
What did you say?
Isn't that why you abandoned him?
Didn't you do that because you didn't want to give up on your life?
But then, you needed Him Chan.
So you decided to tell him the truth without thinking...
how much it could hurt him emotionally.
Do you think...
you deserve to be his mother after what you've done to him?
Do you think you deserve to be his mother...
just because you gave birth to him?
What?
No.
You don't deserve to be a mother.
A mother would never do that.
As far as I know,
mothers put their children before themselves.
Therefore,
you don't deserve to be Him Chan's mother.
How dare you?
You should never show up in front of Him Chan again.
If you have a conscience.
Hey, Kang Cha Yeol!
What did he say?
Seung Ju.
What did she hear that she got so upset?
This is so frustrating.
(Hyena Hair Salon, Hana Dumplings)
(Hana Dumplings)
Congratulations, Ms. Kim Jung Eun. You're pregnant.
I'm here.
Hi, Jung Eun.
What brings you here?
I came out to run some errands.
I wanted to stop by to see you on my way back home.
You silly. I was going to go home soon.
Couldn't you wait until then?
That's right. And I have something to tell you.
You have something to tell me? What is it?
Well...
I want to tell you...
My goodness.
What is it? Why are you hesitating?
Is it something hard to say?
No, it's not like that.
The thing is, I am...
Hyun Seok, I'm sorry for being late.
Well, it's not your first time being late.
Tell me. Why are you late today?
I had a situation today.
What situation?
Him Chan disappeared.
What? Him Chan disappeared?
My gosh. Him Chan disappeared?
Yes.
Are you saying that he packed up and left or something?
But why?
(Hana Dumplings)
So your daughter is Him Chan's biological mother,
and she told Him Chan that by herself? Is that what you're saying?
And Him Chan was shocked to hear it and left home?
Yes.
What's wrong with your daughter?
Anyway, it's understandable that I was late, right?
My gosh.
I feel so bad for Him Chan.
I'm worried. I hope he's fine.
Oh, right. What were you trying to tell me?
Sorry? Oh, that can wait.
I'll tell you when Him Chan is found.
Him Chan.
It's Jung Eun.
Hi, Jung Eun.
Yes.
Okay.
Did you get a call from the police?
No.
What if something bad happened to Him Chan?
Or else, why haven't they found him yet?
Dong Hee, calm down.
What if Him Chan got into danger?
What should I do then?
Calm.
He must be fine.
Officer Jung, I'll go this way. You go that way.
Yes, sir.
Who's there?
Kiddo, what are you doing here?
By any chance, are you Him Chan?
Yes, I am. Who are you, mister?
Officer Jung, I found him. I found the kid.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
My goodness.
I can't just wait for a call. I should go out to look for him.
Let's do that.
Hello?
Hello? We found your child.
Really? Did you really find my son?
Did they find Him Chan?
- They found Him Chan? - They found him?
Yes, I'll head over right now.
Yes. Thank you. I can't thank you enough.
They found Him Chan. I'll be right back, Auntie Myung Sook.
Go on.
- You should go with her. - I'll get going.
- Oh, dear. - What a relief, honey.
Exactly.
I'm so relieved.
(Police)
You're here.
- You said you found Him Chan. - Yes.
- Where is he? - Well...
Mom.
Him Chan.
Mom.
Him Chan, are you okay?
Are you hurt anywhere?
No, I'm not hurt. I'm okay, Mom.
Then I'm relieved. That's all that matters.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Don't be. I should apologize to you.
I'm very sorry.
Mom.
Auntie Myung Sook, Him Chan is back.
- Him Chan. - Oh, my.
Are you okay?
Are you okay, my sweet pumpkin?
Great-aunt Myung Sook.
You brat, why did you pack up and leave home?
Do you know how worried I've been all day?
I'm sorry, Great-aunt Myung Sook.
It's okay now that you're back safely.
Have you eaten anything?
No.
Didn't you eat anything all day long?
No.
Honey, fix him something to eat.
Okay. Let's go inside now.
Let's go in. Come on.
My sweet pumpkin.
Baek Seung Ju.
You care more about yourself than you care about Him Chan.
Isn't that why you abandoned him?
But then, you needed Him Chan.
So you decided to tell him the truth without thinking...
how much it could hurt him emotionally.
You don't deserve to be a mother.
You don't deserve to be Him Chan's mother.
Here. Eat up.
Thank you, Mom.
That's okay.
Eat this too.
Don't forget to chew. Or else, you might get an upset stomach.
Okay.
Here. Eat this too.
Eat the egg too.
Is Him Chan eating the food?
Yes.
He said he hadn't eaten anything all day. I guess it's true.
He's gobbling down the food.
He managed to process all that because he's mature.
Other kids his age would just cry all day.
I know.
Honey, do you think Him Chan can go back to how he used to be?
I mean, he knows who his birth mother is now.
It won't be easy,
but I'm sure that Dong Hee will explain so that he can understand.
I hope Him Chan understands what she says.
We've been trying so hard to hide it from Him Chan.
Who would've known the truth would be revealed like this?
That's exactly my point.
I'm back.
How did it go?
Did you find Him Chan?
Yes, just earlier.
Great. I'm relieved.
Is he okay?
He didn't eat anything all day, but other than that,
he's fine. He didn't get hurt or anything.
That poor little child is going through such a hard time...
because his birth mother is a horrible person.
Mom.
How's Dong Hee? She must've been terribly worried.
She was, but she seemed to feel better when she saw Him Chan.
All parents feel the same way.
You must be tired. Go upstairs to rest.
Yes, Father.
I'll go upstairs too.
Okay.
Does Seung Ju know...
that Him Chan was missing?
Yes, she knows.
Does she know that he's been found too?
She probably doesn't know that. Why?
I think you should at least text her.
She must be waiting.
Why?
It seems like you're the only one who cares about Seung Ju.
I only resent her.
She must have grown on me while we were living together.
All right. I'll text her for your sake.
Rest up.
Him Chan is back home. So don't worry.
Okay. It's done.
Him Chan, are you sleepy?
No.
Then shall we have a talk?
Seung Ju, come out for dinner.
Is she sleeping?
Are you sleeping? Dinner is ready...
Where did she go at such a late hour?
Let's sit here.
It's cool and nice.
Him Chan, do you feel good too?
Yes.
Him Chan.
When you heard it from the pretty lady,
were you very surprised?
Yes.
Mom, is what she told me true?
Did she give birth to me?
Yes.
Him Chan, you know Uncle Jae Seok, right?
Yes.
The truth is,
Uncle Jae Seok is...
your dad.
Uncle Jae Seok is actually my dad?
Yes.
Jae Seok and the pretty lady fell in love with each other.
That's how you were born.
But...
on the day you were born,
your dad passed away.
That's why the pretty lady left you with me.
Does it mean that she abandoned me?
No, it wasn't like that.
Why would she have abandoned you?
That's not what happened, okay?
It's not that she abandoned you.
I decided to raise you.
But...
I couldn't tell you that I wasn't your birth mother...
because I was afraid you might be hurt emotionally.
I lost my parents...
when I was very young.
And other kids used to tease me for being an orphan.
I didn't want you to be teased as I had been before.
So I told you and everyone else that I had given birth to you...
while raising you.
But Him Chan...
Even though I didn't give birth to you,
you are my son no matter what others may say.
I swear that I have never thought...
that you were not my son.
I'm telling you the truth.
I know, Mom.
I know how much you love me.
Then will you forgive me?
Yes.
Thank you, Him Chan.
Thank you.
(Bravo, My Life)
You said you had something to tell me.
I'm at three months.
What do you mean by that?
What were you thinking?
Did you leave your brain at home?
Whom did you meet, Auntie Myung Sook?
Some rude and thoughtless woman.
Don't worry. I won't ever have to see her again.
A headache? Can you describe your symptoms in more detail?
I wonder if I'm even worthy of my life.
