(Episode 16)
Hey.
You must be tired from having been on a business trip for so long.
Have you already packed everything?
I waited for you so I could say goodbye.
I tried so hard to avoid this moment.
But I guess I couldn't avoid it.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
It doesn't even console me anyway.
I respect your decision,
but I feel unfortunate that you'd consider this...
as your best choice.
Where are you going to go?
I'm going to travel a little.
I'll go to court after I'm done traveling.
I'll see you in court.
Are you going to go to your mother's house?
I'm thinking about it.
My mom's at the sanatorium, so the house is empty.
I'll make sure you won't need to worry about money.
That's the only thing I can do for you right now.
Thank you.
I hope you stay well.
I'll go now.
Father. Mother.
I hope you stay healthy.
Okay. You were great while you were here.
Bye.
Let's...
only remember the good stuff.
(Haneul Sanatorium)
Mom.
I'm here.
It's me, your daughter.
I really tried the best I could,
but I still can't get pregnant.
You told me...
that I could start over.
You told me that I just had to show the guy who abandoned me...
that I could be happier with a better guy than him.
You told me that's true revenge.
That's why I even did that.
I tried my best to endure it all.
I'm getting punished.
This is karma.
Right?
(Mom's birthday, The day Bestie will be born!)
(Mom's birthday)
Goodbye.
Hello?
Is this Chungju Restaurant?
Yes, that's right.
I'm Ms. Jo Young Ran's daughter.
I was wondering if my mom's doing well.
My goodness. You're Young Ran's daughter?
Why didn't you call earlier?
You don't know how much your mom waited for you to call.
Is she doing well?
It's her birthday tomorrow,
but I won't be able to visit her.
Forget about her birthday.
Your mom's hospitalized right now.
My mom's hospitalized? Why?
She drank every day,
so her gastric ulcer became worse.
Which hospital is she at?
(Chungcheong Hospital)
Ji Young.
Mom.
Come in.
Hye Rim.
What's up? Are you not feeling well?
No, that's not it.
I got divorced.
While we're on that subject,
did Sang Hyuk ask you to get rid of his stuff?
His semen? Yes.
Can you not get rid of it?
Why not?
I don't know.
I know we just got divorced.
But we might get back together later on.
So just in case.
You said it could be kept frozen for five years, right?
I'll ask Sang Hyuk.
That's mine.
I want you to keep it frozen no matter what.
I'm going to file a lawsuit if you discard it without my permission.
My gosh, that crazy brat.
- Hey. - Hey.
Min Kyung threw a fit saying she doesn't want me to get rid of it.
I don't want to get involved, so get her to approve.
Why do I need her approval?
It's my semen.
That's because she comes all the way here and throws a fit.
My gosh, I just can't be bothered. I have no say in this,
so come to me once you've both come to an agreement.
My gosh, I'm already going through a lot.
When are you due?
I have two weeks left.
Where and how did you get by with that pregnant body?
I'm doing fine, so don't worry.
You're in no place to worry about me.
You're the reason I became like this.
I worried so much because of you.
Sung Nam came to find you...
after you ran away.
Do you know how many times...
I visited Seoul just so I could find you?
Don't tell Sung Nam.
I'm going to live a quiet life.
I heard you're pregnant with a deformed baby.
What are you going to do after you give birth?
Did you come here to make things worse for me?
I came because it's your birthday.
I wasn't going to visit you, but I heard you were sick...
when I called the restaurant.
It's been so long since we met. Must you be like this?
My gosh.
I'm being like this because you're acting like a fool.
Why do you think I got pregnant in the first place?
This was the only way we could pay off all your debt.
Fine. I'm the one to blame.
I'm the one to blame for making my child do such a thing.
So...
just leave me here to die and leave!
The location and view is nice.
The additional facilities are great, and there's good transportation.
This is the best place you can get with that amount of money.
Is there a place that's a little bit cheaper than this place?
I'm not abandoning you.
I'm only saying goodbye because I love you.
It's for a better future for both of us.
Bye.
What do you do for a living?
I do part-time illustration jobs.
What about after you give birth?
What are you going to do then?
I can keep doing what I'm doing now.
Sure you can.
Do you think raising a child is a walk in the park?
You should go ahead and see what it's like.
See how difficult it is.
Not only will you have no time to draw,
but you won't even have time to eat.
Are you staying at Ki Sook's house?
No.
Don't lie to me. Where else would you be staying at?
My gosh, I really can't believe Ki Sook.
She should've either taken you to a hospital...
or called me...
as soon as she saw you in this state.
They say, "People only care about their own children."
I wonder if she would've done the same if it were Bong Kyu.
That's enough!
Don't you dare yell at me.
My gosh.
Ji Young went to see her mom today.
Young Ran must resent me a lot.
Do you think she knows that you visit Ji Young's place often?
I'm sure Ji Young would've told her.
She's probably thinking the same thing as us.
What kind of parent would want...
their daughter to ruin their future like that?
That's why I'm worried.
Ji Young's very persistent about keeping the baby.
Can't the biological parents just take the baby by force?
They can't do that.
It'll be over once Ji Young registers the baby as her own.
But it's their biological baby.
Wouldn't that mean it's legally theirs?
Apparently not.
According to the law in Korea, the person who gives birth is the mom.
And why would they even want the baby anyway?
It's a deformed baby.
I guess you're right.
Whose side are you on?
Are you on Ji Young's side, or are you on Mom and Dad's side?
Mom and Dad think Ji Young should return the baby.
Of course, she should return the baby.
I mean, it's crazy.
How could she even think about becoming a surrogate?
Getting paid to give birth to someone else's baby is absurd.
I'm pretty sure she had a good reason.
Don't you know her?
She got good grades, she was smart, and she was very honest.
She was nothing like us.
I know. I thought she'd become a teacher.
I can't believe she's in this kind of situation.
If she decides to raise the baby,
I'm going to go visit her and babysit for her sometimes.
Really?
You really have no brain.
You're completely reckless.
You little punk. Stop getting on my nerves.
- My gosh. - I have limits, you know.
I cooked seaweed soup for you.
Eat it with the porridge.
Happy birthday, Mom.
I'm going to get discharged today.
Why not stay for a bit longer?
It'll cost me money.
I managed to stay alive, so that's all that matters.
Don't forget to take your medicine once you go home.
And don't drink.
I broke up with your stepdad.
Really?
Did he agree to getting a divorce?
I didn't give him much choice.
We've come too far now. It's best to live our own lives.
Every time I think about what Sung Nam did to you,
I get angry at every single person in that family.
But still, Stepdad was a kind man.
(Sung Nam)
Hey.
Hey, Ms. Jo. It's me, Sung Nam.
Did Ji Young call?
No. Why?
My dad told me that it's your birthday today.
So I was wondering if Ji Young called.
Can you please call me if she ever calls?
I'll deal with my daughter myself.
Mind your own business.
My gosh, I'm only doing this because I care about Ji Young.
She's expected to give birth in two weeks.
Has she told you anything about that?
No.
I really need to know once she gives birth.
If you find out her number and where she lives,
please don't forget to tell me.
Okay?
Who does he think he is? What a jerk.
I'm sorry. It sounds like a great idea.
But we're not stable enough to invest.
We'll call you next time if we're interested.
I'm sorry, but you don't have collateral.
And you already got your maximum amount of credit loan.
Yes, sir.
(Chairman, Park Jang Han)
Hello, sir.
Hey. Please sit down.
I was wondering who came up with this idea.
And it turned out to be you.
I've always wanted to try this business.
Really?
I'll invest in your idea.
So why don't you try making something out of it?
Chairman Park, I'd be more than grateful if you did that for me.
But I once made you lose money. So why are you doing this for me?
I came to see you differently back then.
Back when your entertainment agency went bankrupt,
you came to me and promised me...
that you'll compensate for all the damages you've caused.
To be honest, I thought you were just lying.
But when I saw you compensate me...
by even selling the house you were living in,
that's when I knew you were someone that could be trusted.
People these days...
are busy hiding their properties.
But you're the kind of man I can trust and invest in.
If not you, who else?
This idea of yours was something I've always wanted to try.
So you should try building a business out of it.
Chairman Park, thank you so much. I'll do my best.
Okay.
(Haneul Sanatorium)
Mom.
She suddenly had difficulty with breathing.
We'll have to move her to the ICU.
Ji Young.
I'll go visit you when you give birth.
Can you tell me where you live?
You don't need to come. You'll only end up getting upset.
Then at least tell me your number.
I won't call Sung Nam.
I'll call you sometimes.
Are you leaving already?
Yes, I have a lot of work to do.
Please take good care of my mom.
Please make sure she doesn't drink.
Okay, don't worry.
I'll keep my eyes on her.
Ji Young.
I'm sorry.
Stay healthy, okay?
My gosh, are you really going to be like this?
- My goodness. - My gosh.
I think her water broke.
My gosh, give me that towel.
Hey, call a cab for us.
- Can you get us a cab? - Okay.
Ji Young. My gosh, Ji Young.
My goodness.
My gosh.
Do you not know which hospital you need to go to?
We're from Seoul, so we're not very familiar with this place.
My gosh.
I'll try going downtown first.
Can you please hurry up, sir?
I'm on my way.
If you were in such a hurry, you should've come yesterday.
Ji Young.
My gosh.
My goodness.
Are we not there yet?
We've been driving for an hour.
She'll give birth any minute now.
I think there was an OB-GYN somewhere around here.
There it is.
Please stop the cab there.
(Yeonshim OB-GYN)
Doctor. Doctor.
My daughter's water broke.
Can she give birth here?
We don't handle childbirth here.
What?
The baby will come out any minute.
Where do we need to go?
I think you'll need to go to a university hospital in Cheongju.
What? We have to go all the way there?
Isn't there a hospital nearby?
I'm not sure.
My goodness.
My gosh, Ji Young.
My goodness. Try to hang in there.
We'll be there soon.
My gosh.
There's an OB-GYN over there.
There's an ER over there.
(Emergency Medical Center)
They can't help her either.
They don't handle childbirth.
We need to go somewhere else.
My gosh, what kind of OB-GYN doesn't handle childbirth?
This is unbelievable.
What a wretched world.
Gosh, please hurry up.
Sir, hurry up!
My goodness.
This place is short on doctors, so they can't help her.
They told us to go to a big hospital.
My gosh. They told us to go to Cheongju.
- A university hospital. - Cheongju?
My gosh, it's going to take us a long time to get there.
Will that be okay?
It'll cost you a lot of money.
That's not the problem right now.
I'll pay you the money.
Please hurry up and drive.
Okay.
I hope there's no traffic.
My goodness, try hanging in there.
My gosh.
Do people in the countryside never give birth?
How is it that there's no place to give birth?
How absurd is this?
You're right.
I've never been in this kind of situation before.
What kind of OB-GYN doesn't handle childbirth?
An OB-GYN should always take care of childbirth.
My goodness.
I mean, an OB-GYN should do more than just examine...
a woman's reproductive organs.
Ji Young, just a second.
My gosh, what should we do? I think you're dilating.
Ji Young, just hang in there.
Her condition's become very bad. Please hurry up.
Okay, doctor.
(Intensive Care Unit)
Mom.
My goodness.
Please hurry up. The baby will come out soon.
I'm waiting for the light to change.
This is so frustrating.
She might end up giving birth in this cab!
I guess I have no choice.
I'll have to take another route.
My gosh. Are you okay, Ji Young?
What was that? Why did you crash into a parked car?
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake because I was in such a hurry.
I'll handle everything via insurance.
Then hurry up and call the insurance.
My goodness.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
My daughter's in the back seat right now.
And she's expecting a baby.
Can we please take care of this next time?
Please, sir.
We can't do that.
We need the insurance company to come see what happened.
He might go back on his word.
Gosh, please.
Mom. Gosh, Mom.
Mom. My gosh.
Mom!
You're bleeding.
My goodness. My gosh.
Gosh, why can't he be a bit generous?
- My gosh. - Let's hurry up.
- Hurry up and drive. - Okay.
Mom. Mom, what should I do?
I think the baby's going to come out.
You're fully dilated.
My goodness gracious.
Sir, how much more do we need to go?
We still have a long journey ahead.
My gosh, I think the baby's going to come out soon.
What can we do?
My gosh.
Mom!
My gosh, what should we do?
We have no other choice.
Over there. Park the car in front of that house.
Over there?
Right on the side of the road?
I need to go to that house...
and ask them for some scissors and warm water.
Are you going to give birth in the cab?
What other choice do we have?
The baby's about to come out any minute now.
- My gosh. - Okay.
My gosh.
Ji Young.
Give me your legs. Be careful.
- Mom. - Let's have the baby here.
Nothing's impossible.
I have everything ready, so don't worry.
Mom, I'm so sorry.
Hurry up and push.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Push.
Come on.
Good. Breathe. Breathe in and out.
Mom, I think I'm bleeding way too much.
What if something bad happened to the baby?
No, everything's fine.
Don't worry. You can do it.
Push. One more time.
Push.
You're almost there.
Push. One more time. Come on.
My goodness.
We did it.
My gosh.
What's wrong?
He's...
completely fine.
What?
Gosh, it's a son.
Look at how handsome he looks.
He has 10 fingers and 10 toes.
His face looks completely fine.
He's not deformed.
Here, look.
(I am also Mother)
I want to name him Joon Su.
I want to give him that name.
Should we just tell Min Kyung to get pregnant?
My goodness.
Didn't I tell you that she's not my daughter-in-law?
Kyung Shin hasn't been answering my calls lately.
She hasn't called me either.
She went to see her mom for a while.
Did something happen to her by any chance?
