(Episode 115)
I beg your pardon?
My daughter has a brain tumor?
A malignant tumor?
Yes.
Then what's going to happen now?
Is she dying?
In the old days, patients in her situation rarely survived over 18 months.
But these days, it's not always the case.
If the surgery goes well,
and if it's coupled with radiotherapy or chemotherapy,
it can be treated.
Really? Then what can I do?
First, persuade your daughter to undergo surgery.
As I've explained to your daughter,
malignant tumors grow much faster than benign tumors do.
She should undergo surgery as soon as possible.
Okay.
I will do that.
I will persuade Seung Ju, so please save her, Doctor.
Yes, I'll do my best.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Where did she go?
Seung Ju.
Baek Seung Ju!
Have you lost your mind?
What are you doing here?
Get up.
You must go back to the hospital for your surgery.
Get up. Now!
I won't go back to the hospital.
Baek Seung Ju!
Are you really going to keep this up?
I know that you think I'm an immature mother,
but how could you hide something like that from me?
Do you care more about strangers than your own mother? Is that it?
No, it's not that.
Then let's go.
Get up. Let's go. You need to get your surgery.
Get up! Now!
I won't undergo surgery.
What did you say?
Why won't you undergo surgery?
Then you'll die at this rate!
I don't want to live, Mom.
You brat!
How dare you say such a thing to your mother?
Seung Ju, don't be like this.
If you undergo surgery...
and get treated, you can live.
Why won't you get the surgery? Why are you doing this?
I told you.
I don't want to live.
And even if the surgery goes well,
there's a big chance that I'll lose my eyesight.
What?
Are you serious?
I guess the doctor didn't tell you that part.
Yes, it's true.
That's why I don't want to do it, Mom.
I'd rather die like this.
I wouldn't want to live if I couldn't see.
Seung Ju...
I'm sorry, Mom.
That you have to see this.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
Hey, Sun Woo. It's me. How have you been?
You remember Seung Ju, right?
My ex-wife.
Yes. Can you see if you can find a position for her?
You're a competent headhunter.
Ideally something at managerial level.
Right.
Then can you look into it for me?
Yes.
Sounds good. Let's grab a drink soon.
All right. Thanks.
Go on in.
Why don't you come in?
Why? Do you want me to stay for dinner?
Well, that too.
But there's something we have to do.
Something we have to do?
What is it?
Come in, and you'll find out.
Come in.
What's going on?
You're inviting me into your room?
Why?
Are you going to kiss me?
Whatever.
Then why did you invite me into your room?
Stay still. I need to take your measurements.
What are you doing?
Cha Yeol, I want to make your wedding suit for you.
What? My wedding suit?
Do you not like the idea?
You can make a men's suit?
I wanted to go to a suit tailor.
What? So you don't trust that I can do it?
Well, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event.
I wouldn't want to wear something that looks weird.
Are you serious?
I was just kidding.
So you're really going to make a suit for me?
Yes.
And you can trust me.
It's for my husband, so I'll make sure it doesn't look weird.
"My husband?"
Yes, my husband.
Anyway, I'll make you the most dashing groom in the world.
You can look forward to it, okay?
Okay, I will.
Then let me finish taking your measurements. Stay still.
My gosh. What are you doing?
Come on. I wanted to hold you in my arms.
Let go.
What if Him Chan suddenly walks into the room?
Kiss me, and I'll let you go.
You don't want to? Then we'll stay like this.
I like this too.
All right. I'll kiss you, so you have to let me go. Okay?
Okay, I will.
- Mom! - Gosh.
Yes?
What were you two doing?
What? Oh, we were just...
I wanted to make him a suit, so I was taking his measurements. Right?
Yes, that's right.
Oh, I see.
Yes. Anyway, what's up?
Great-aunt Myung Sook said to come down and have dinner with us.
Okay, we'll be down in a minute. Wait for us downstairs.
Okay, Mom.
See? I told you...
that Him Chan could walk in at any minute.
Let's finish what we were doing.
Gosh, go away.
Why did you come back alone?
What about your mom and Mr. Kang?
Mom said she was making a suit for Mr. Kang.
- They were hugging each other. - What?
What? Why do they need to hug each other if she's making him a suit?
She said she was taking his measurements.
I see. I get the situation.
You're chuckling? What do you even know?
I know what's going on.
Hey, come and sit down.
Yes.
Thank you for the food.
So? Did you get all the measurements you needed?
Sorry?
Come on. They were probably busy doing other things.
Tae Pyung.
- Let's eat. Eat up. - Thank you for the food.
My gosh!
Buying this made me so happy.
Hold on. Why did you buy two of everything?
Do you think we'll have twins?
No, I want to donate them.
You'll donate them?
Our baby has us,
but some babies are abandoned by their own parents.
So every time I buy something for our baby,
I'll buy the exact same thing and donate it to a children's home.
I knew it. I married such a wonderful man.
- These are so cute. - They look like toys, right?
Hey, Sun Woo.
I see. Yes, that company would be great.
Okay, I'll tell Seung Ju to go there for her in-person interview.
All right, thanks.
Bye.
Seung Ju, you have to get the surgery. Okay?
I spoke to your doctor on the phone.
Not everyone who undergoes the surgery loses their eyesight.
He said the probability was 50 percent.
So get the surgery, okay?
I won't change my mind, Mom.
Are you really going to keep this up?
(Sung Wook)
Oh, it's Sung Wook.
Answer it. It's Sung Wook.
Why won't you answer it?
I have no reason to answer his call.
Leave me alone, Mom. I'm tired. I need to get some sleep.
If you keep being stubborn like this,
I'll drag you to the hospital. Okay?
Seung Ju, I called to talk to you about a job opening.
It's a good opportunity.
Call me when you get this message.
Let's eat...
Seung Ju! What's wrong?
Are you throwing up?
Get up, Seung Ju!
Seung Ju!
Stop being stubborn. Just get the surgery!
You're in so much pain! What are you going to do now?
(Sung Wook)
Sung Wook.
I mean, Director Kang.
Can you help me?
Pardon? What do you mean? You need my help?
Did something happen?
The thing is...
Seung Ju has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
What? A brain tumor?
Yes. But she is refusing to undergo surgery.
Why? Why is she against undergoing surgery?
I don't know. She keeps saying she doesn't want to live.
Could you...
try to persuade her?
It's a malignant tumor, so she needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
What if something bad happens to her? I'm so scared.
Director Kang.
Please help me.
Try to persuade Seung Ju. Please?
Okay. I'll come over now.
Sung Wook.
Are you ready? Let's go.
I'm sorry. I don't think I can meet Dong Hee's family with you.
Why not?
I have to go see Seung Ju.
Seung Ju? Why?
What? A malignant brain tumor?
But she's at home, refusing treatment?
Yes, apparently.
She should be treated as soon as possible. I'll see if I can persuade her.
Okay. I'll tell Mother and Father that you went to take care of something urgent.
I hope you're not mad at me.
Not at all. Don't worry about the family meeting today.
Make sure you persuade Seung Ju so she can get the surgery.
Thanks for understanding.
Where is Seung Ju?
She's in her room.
She took some painkillers and fell asleep.
Thank you for coming, Director Kang.
May I go into her room?
Yes, of course. Go on in.
Stop staring into the mirror. You're about to drill a hole through it.
Does my outfit look too simple?
You look nice, Auntie Myung Sook.
Do I?
What do you think, Him Chan? Do I look stylish today?
Yes.
Good. I'm happy if Him Chan thinks that I'm stylish.
My goodness.
My gosh.
Honey.
We're here, Auntie Myung Sook and Uncle Jung Ho.
You made it.
Hello, Father and Mother.
Hi.
We're early, but you're already here.
We just got here too.
Honey, say hello. They're Dong Hee's aunt and uncle.
Nice to meet you. I'm Cha Yeol's mother.
Oh.
What?
What is it, honey?
Do you know her?
You are...
Dong Hee's aunt?
You are Cha Yeol's mother?
Ms. Seo, I apologize on my wife's behalf.
Why are you apologizing to her? I did nothing wrong.
You thought she faked the accident to get money.
Who knows? Maybe I'm right.
What did you say?
Mother.
You wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea had she not accepted the money.
It is my wife's fault.
Honey, what on earth are you talking about?
I never asked her for money.
Why are you talking as if I caused the misunderstanding?
It is true that you accepted the money.
Anyway, you should give her back the money.
What?
It's okay.
It wasn't a big amount anyway.
I apologize for the misunderstanding. Just leave it.
No, I'll give you back the money.
I don't have any cash on me now, so tell me your bank account number.
I'll send you the money right away.
It's really okay.
That day, you were startled because of my mistake.
Consider it your compensation and just keep it.
- My compensation? - Yes.
Compensation.
My gosh!
Why did you kick me in the shin?
Oh, I'm sorry. I kicked you by mistake.
Did it startle you?
Of course, it did.
My mistake startled you, so you deserve some compensation too.
Tell me your account number now.
I'll send you the money right away.
You woke up.
Sung Wook, what are you doing here?
Let me take you to the hospital.
I can't believe my mom told you.
It's okay.
I'll figure out what to do, so you can leave.
Seung Ju.
I told you to leave.
This has nothing to do with you. Why did you even come all the way here?
Why are you being like this, seriously?
I don't really want to live.
I have no reason to live, and I'm not worthy of life.
What do you mean you have no reason to live?
Do you not care about your mother?
My mom will be better off...
without a daughter like me.
What?
Seung Ju!
I may lose my eyesight even if the surgery goes well.
So should I ask my mom to look after me if that were to happen?
I can't do that.
I really can't.
Who says you'll lose your eyesight?
And if that happens, I don't care.
I can look after you for the rest of my life.
You don't care, and that's it?
What about me?
You don't care how miserable I'd be?
I should just put up with it because you don't care?
You'll keep this up, right?
Okay, then I'm moving out.
Why are you doing this? Why are you being like this, seriously?
So please!
Get out and leave me alone!
Seung Ju!
Gosh, Seung Ju. Why are you being like this?
Seung Ju.
Are you all right? Seung Ju!
Gosh, Seung Ju...
Seung Ju.
What should we do about my aunt and your mother?
No idea. Why did they have to meet like that?
Oh, right. Why couldn't Director Kang join us today?
Well, it's...
What is it? Did something happen?
Well...
Seung Ju is ill.
Ms. Baek? What's wrong with her?
She has a malignant brain tumor.
But she is refusing to undergo surgery.
What?
So he went to see her to try and persuade her.
I hope he can persuade her.
But I'm not sure how it went.
Yes.
Unfortunately, it didn't go well.
Oh, really?
Can't you go see her and try to change her mind?
You and Seung Ju have been friends for a long time.
Would she listen to me when she didn't even listen to you?
Anyway, all right. I'll think about it.
Okay.
Director Kang couldn't persuade her?
No.
What happened? Why couldn't he persuade her?
She said she didn't want to live.
She said she had no reason to live and that she wasn't worthy of life.
I'm really worried.
If it's a malignant tumor,
she has to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
Sung Wook asked me to visit her and persuade her.
What do you think, Dong Hee?
Who is it?
It's me, Dong Hee.
Why is Dong Hee here at this hour?
One moment.
Dong Hee, what brings you by?
I heard about Ms. Baek's condition.
You did?
Is she in her room?
Yes, go on in.
Get up.
Leave, will you?
I told you to get up!
What is with everyone?
I don't want to live. I don't want to go on with my life!
What is the matter with everyone, seriously?
Your life...
isn't just yours.
What did you say?
What about Him Chan?
You want to die? Then what about Him Chan?
How will Him Chan feel...
when he finds out later? You're being so irresponsible!
If you truly think that you wronged Him Chan,
you must live.
Do whatever it takes to survive...
and show Him Chan that you can be a good person for him.
If you are his mother,
you can do that much for him. Am I wrong?
As a mother,
you should at least do that for your child.
(Bravo, My Life)
Why are you packing your things?
Why are you being like this? Do you want me to drop dead?
Really? She has decided to undergo surgery?
I thought...
you'd say I got what I deserved if you found out about my tumor.
Do you want to see Him Chan?
I may not be able to see him ever again.
Dong Hee, I have a huge favor to ask you.
I'm not sure.
Dong Hee, why are you here?
