(Episode 84)
The victim's family is...
Seo Dong Hee.
What did you say?
Who is the victim's family?
Seo Dong Hee,
the person I love the most in the world...
is the family of the victim of the accident we caused.
If she is the victim's family...
The man who died in the accident...
was Dong Hee's brother...
and Him Chan's father.
You mean...
Seung Ju's ex-husband?
Yes.
I can't believe this.
How could this happen?
So?
What will you do now?
What are you going to do?
We should just put it behind us.
Right?
I already told you.
I can't do that.
Then what will you do?
Do you plan to tell Dong Hee?
Yes, I should tell her.
You're out of your mind.
If you tell her,
then what?
Do you think she'll understand and forgive you?
Yes.
If I sincerely apologize and beg for her forgiveness,
she will forgive me. I'm sure of it.
I guess you're thinking that because you weren't the one who drove.
- Is that it? - No.
I am partially responsible too.
You and Sung Wook talked me out of it,
but I still should've called the police no matter what.
I couldn't do that, so it is partially my fault too.
Fine. I think it's highly unlikely,
but let's say she forgives you.
Do you think she'd want to marry you after that?
You agree that it wouldn't be easy, right?
She may be able to forgive you,
but don't you think her marrying you would be a separate issue?
So...
think again.
What should you do for everyone's sake?
Think again.
Do you understand?
Hello, ma'am.
How tragic.
I can't believe her ex-husband died in a hit-and-run accident.
What's the matter, Mother?
It's nothing. Don't mind me.
I said it was nothing. Didn't you hear me?
I did.
So? Did the talk with the CEO of the investment company go well?
Yes. They're happy with our revised proposal.
They'll go over it and inform us of their final decision.
Honey, why are you staring at Cha Yeol like that?
Oh, it's nothing.
Eat up.
Cha Yeol. Ever since you got back from Taean,
you haven't been looking well.
Did something happen?
No, Father.
It must be because of the sweltering weather.
I'll get some herbal medicine made with deer antlers.
Don't worry, honey.
I don't need stuff like that.
Mom. Something must've happened between you and Cha Yeol.
Nothing happened.
You've been acting weird since yesterday.
What is it?
Don't worry.
You should go to work.
Mom.
What are you doing here?
Oh, nothing.
I'm heading out to go to work.
Were you and Sung Wook talking about some kind of secret?
Secret? What are you talking about?
No, we weren't. Don't worry and go to work.
So you and Ja Young have decided to get back together?
Yes. You won't be against it, right?
Will you change your mind if I'm against it?
No, of course not.
So Tae Pyung and Ja Young are getting back together,
and Dong Hee is getting married too.
Jung Eun is the only one left.
Dong Hee, have you applied for a marriage license yet?
No, not yet.
You said you'd do it this week. When will you do it?
I think Cha Yeol is busy with something.
I'm waiting for him.
Did he change his mind or something?
No, it's not that.
Watch what you say.
I mean, think about it. It's not like it takes all day.
They just have to submit their application to the borough office.
Being busy with work can't be an excuse.
That's true. Tae Pyung does have a point.
Dong Hee, why don't you ask him...
when he's planning to do it?
Okay, I will.
By the way, is Great-aunt Jung Eun not eating with us?
No. She's too heartbroken...
to eat.
(Jung Eun)
(Hana Dumplings)
Jung Ho, let's talk.
About what?
About Mr. Jang, obviously. What else would it be?
Go ahead and talk.
What is the reason you're against our relationship?
He's 12 years older than you.
On top of that, he's a widower.
Then would you approve of anyone who is around my age...
and has never been married before,
even if he isn't compatible with me?
I never said I'd approve of anyone.
Those are the minimum requirements.
Jung Ho.
I'll be 50 in a couple of years.
How could I expect to find a bachelor...
who is around my age? Do you think it makes sense?
Why doesn't it make sense?
They definitely exist. You can find them.
It doesn't matter. The point is, I have to like the person.
Jung Ho, have I ever introduced my boyfriend to you in the past?
Have I ever brought a man home and said I wanted to marry him?
No, never.
What do you think that means?
I never had any real interest in men,
and I was fine with being single for the rest of my life.
But then, I met Mr. Jang. I admire him,
so I thought it'd be nice to have him as my life partner.
That's why I told him how I felt even though it was embarrassing.
And I finally managed to persuade him to go out with me.
You don't even know how I feel.
How could you just order me to break up with him?
Is that how you care for your sister?
Yes, I am doing this because I care for you.
So just listen to me and break up with him.
Jung Ho!
He can be incredibly stubborn.
What will you do now?
It's for you.
Thanks.
What?
You're not yourself these days.
I feel like you're hiding something from me.
Why would I?
I'm not hiding anything.
Okay, then I'm relieved.
My aunt asked me when we'd submit our marriage license application.
What should I say?
Oh, that.
We should do it soon.
Dong Hee.
Is there anyone...
you can never forgive?
Someone I can never forgive?
So is there someone?
Who is it?
The person who hit my brother and ran away.
Really?
Yes.
They hit my brother with their car...
and left him to die on that cold road.
I can never forgive them.
Even now, I feel like...
I have this huge rock pressing down on my chest.
Then...
if the hit-and-run driver comes forward now,
will it make you feel better?
Yes, of course.
There's nothing I want more of.
I see.
I was surprised to hear from you, ma'am.
Do you need my help with something?
Well, you took care of the fender bender for me a while back.
So I wanted to thank you in person.
No problem at all. I was just doing my job.
By the way,
do you know a lot about hit-and-run accidents?
Yes, of course. Why do you ask?
My friend's son...
was involved in a hit-and-run accident.
She was asking me a bunch of questions,
but I knew nothing about it.
What's the sentence...
for a hit-and-run?
If the victim died,
the sentence could be anywhere from five years to imprisonment for life.
But if they manage to settle the case with the bereaved family,
it'll be between 3 and 6 years.
Oh, I see.
Then what if they turn themselves in?
If the victim's family is lenient and willing to settle,
they could be released on probation.
However, imprisonment can't be completely ruled out.
Then what if there was someone else in the car?
What would be the sentence for a passenger in the car?
Strictly speaking, it is considered aiding and abetting.
But there is a precedent from 2018 where a passenger was acquitted.
For now, I'd say it's highly likely that they'll be acquitted.
The passenger will be acquitted?
Well, I can't tell for sure without knowing more details.
But for now, yes.
Grandma is really okay with you two getting back together?
Yes. It's all thanks to you, Hye Na.
Then are you going to live with us starting today, Dad?
What?
Oh, I'm not sure.
Can I?
No way.
What do you mean, "No way?"
You two have decided to get back together,
and Grandma and Grandpa are fine with it too.
What's the problem?
Hye Na.
You always say exactly what I want to say.
Hye Na is right. What's the problem?
Don't you know that we have to do things in the right order?
- The right order for what? - The right order for what?
First, let your parents know that I'll be visiting them this weekend...
to make it official.
This weekend?
Dad, why wait until the weekend?
Just visit them with Mom this evening.
Hye Na.
What? Why?
Fine. Then after you visit my parents this weekend,
we can move in together, right?
Are you the only one with a family? I have my family too.
You should meet my sisters next weekend and tell them.
Dad spoke with Aunties nonstop at Grandpa's funeral.
Why should he meet them again?
(Hana Dumplings)
Are you already done?
Yes. Finish your food.
Hyun Seok, how did it feel?
What are you talking about?
I've never had to break up with someone...
because their family was against it.
How did it feel to find out that her family didn't approve of you?
Awful, right?
Hye Ran.
The words you choose to use show your character.
Can't you use nicer words?
Don't use words such as "awful."
You just don't know because you never use such words.
It's so gratifying.
"Hyun Seok, are you having a bad day?" Now, compare that with...
"Hyun Seok, are you having an awful day?" It gives you a sense of relief.
Sure, whatever. I can't talk to you.
So? How did it feel to know that they didn't approve of you?
Like you said, it was awful.
My goodness.
See?
That helped you feel better, right?
Where are you going?
The fabric room.
Then stop by my office when you're done.
Something must've happened between you and Mom.
Tell me. What's going on?
Come on. Tell me.
I found the victim's family.
What?
I found the family of the man who died in the accident we caused.
The other day, you said you couldn't find them.
But now, you're saying you found them?
What do you mean you found the victim's family?
It's someone we know.
That's why I couldn't tell you.
It's someone we know?
Who?
Who is it?
Dong Hee.
What?
Her brother...
was the man who died in the accident.
That can't be.
Hey.
Stop talking nonsense.
It makes no sense.
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
Sung Wook.
Let's beg Dong Hee for her forgiveness.
What did you say?
We couldn't do it eight years ago.
Let's do it now.
It's easy for you to say because you weren't driving.
No, it's not like that.
I am ready to pay for what we did.
As if.
No way. This can't happen.
This...
cannot get out. Do you understand?
Don't be like that. Think wisely.
I'll give you some time to think.
Kang Cha Yeol!
Hello?
Hi, Dong Hee. It's me, Cha Yeol's mother.
Hello, ma'am.
What's the matter?
I haven't seen you for a while.
How about we meet up for a cup of tea?
Sure, I'd love to.
Oh, right. You don't have to tell Cha Yeol...
that we're meeting up.
Okay, sure.
All right.
So? Are things going well between you and Cha Yeol?
Yes, ma'am.
You know that I've always been in support of your relationship, right?
Thank you.
I heard you lost your parents at a young age,
like Cha Yeol did.
But you seem very cheerful and positive.
My brother and grandmother took great care of me.
But they passed away too?
Yes.
How did your brother die?
He died in a hit-and-run accident.
My gosh.
It must've been devastating for you.
Yes.
My grandmother passed away...
shortly after the accident because of the emotional shock,
which made it even harder.
So you must utterly resent the hit-and-run driver.
I'm sure you want them to pay for it.
Yes, of course.
I believe that the hit-and-run driver...
must be legally punished.
That is justice.
I want to make sure it happens so that my brother can rest in peace.
Of course.
It's getting late.
Were you out drinking?
Yes.
You must be tired. Go upstairs and get some rest.
Cha Yeol found the victim's family.
What?
Cha Yeol said he found the hit-and-run victim's family.
Come here.
Who told you that?
Did Cha Yeol tell you?
Obviously. How else would I know about it?
Then did he tell you who the family was?
Seo Dong Hee.
My gosh.
Why did he have to tell you that? Just why?
He wants us to beg her for forgiveness together.
What?
I can't believe he told you after the talk I had with him yesterday.
What do I do, Mom?
Cha Yeol will go ahead and beg her alone even if I refuse to do it.
Then what do I do?
We have to stop him at all costs.
Why don't I...
just beg her with him and ask her to forgive us?
Have you lost your mind?
Who knows?
She may forgive us and let it go for Cha Yeol's sake.
I was curious about that too, so I met her.
You met her?
Did you ask her about it? What did she say?
She said justice must be served and that the driver ought to be punished.
She said it had to happen for her brother to rest in peace.
What?
Doesn't it mean Dong Hee will report me as soon as she finds out?
Yes, obviously.
That's why we have to stop Cha Yeol.
But how?
You tried to persuade him but failed.
So how are we going to stop him?
We'll do whatever it takes.
When did you get home?
A few minutes ago.
Did you drink?
A little.
Go wash up.
Her brother...
was the man who died in the accident.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Don't mind me.
Are you feeling better these days?
What?
Your morning sickness isn't as bad.
Are you all right?
Yes, I feel okay.
I'm glad to hear that.
Do you plan to go against my advice...
and beg Dong Hee for forgiveness?
Is that your plan?
Yes.
Do you really not care even if you can't marry her?
Don't be like this, Cha Yeol. Let's please just put it behind us.
Can't you see that it's the best solution...
for both you and Dong Hee?
There is nothing more Dong Hee wants...
than to find the person who did that to her brother.
So?
You have to tell her the truth? Is that it?
Yes.
So please, Mother.
Persuade Sung Wook.
Instead of having his guilt haunt him forever,
he should beg her for forgiveness.
Why should I do that?
Sorry?
Why should I persuade him to do that?
It has nothing to do with Sung Wook.
What do you mean it has nothing to do with Sung Wook?
You drove that day.
So what does it have to do with Sung Wook?
Why should I persuade him for you?
What are you saying?
You know that he was the one who drove.
Do you have proof?
Did anyone see him drive?
Mother.
It was your car, Cha Yeol.
And...
you drove to Taean yourself.
It happened eight years ago,
so you must've forgotten what actually happened.
Mother!
(Bravo, My Life)
An OB-GYN clinic? Why?
Are you really pregnant?
Are you saying I'm infertile?
Don't be like this.
I hope you meet someone nice.
If they loved each other, why did they break up?
Does it mean you and Mr. Kang could break up too?
No, we will never break up.
We ran away eight years ago, and that's enough.
I won't run away again.
