He had leukemia.
(Episode 96)
My husband died at early age...
and my son needed a bone-marrow transplant.
I didn't know what to do.
So, ashamed as I am about it, I went to Bok Nam.
You got...
the wrong idea about us, didn't you?
Do you mean...
my husband paid for your son's surgery?
Yes.
I worked at Gwi Nam's hair salon for a long time.
Bok Nam was just a neighborhood friend who looked out for me.
If you knew I had the wrong idea about you,
why didn't you tell me then?
I wasn't able to pay you back then and was too ashamed.
I kept waiting until I'd saved up enough.
It took me this long.
That's it.
If I ever had any feelings for Bok Nam,
I'd be struck down.
He gave me this and told me to arrange for Byung Chul's surgery.
I thought he was acting a bit odd and rushed over here.
This is so unfair.
How could he get sick?
Bok Nam.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Did you call her over?
Sit down.
I came over.
To give this back to you.
Why did you bring it back?
Take it and get Byung Chul to a hospital.
You need to save him.
You paid for his surgery already.
He grew up well and is in the army now.
What do you mean?
Look at this.
Byung Chul's a soldier now.
Honey.
Call me if you need any help.
I'll do anything for Bok Nam.
Thanks for the offer.
I mean it.
I'll call you if things get out of hand.
Please do. Goodbye.
I will. Bye.
Honey.
(Baek Hyeon U, Cha Jin Ok, So Young, Dae Young)
Honey.
What?
I want to be alone. Let me be.
Mom. Mom!
Mom, the woman who just left. Wasn't that Kyung Hee?
- Yes. - Why was she here?
She's your dad's old friend from his hometown.
Her son had leukemia as a child...
and your dad helped them in secret.
That's how the misunderstanding started.
What?
Why did Dad hide that?
He acted so stingy at home...
and spent a huge amount on a friend.
He wouldn't have been able to tell us.
You know what he's like.
He keeps everything to himself.
My gosh.
But he forgot all about it...
and gave her 3,000 dollars for her son's surgery.
Did he forget about it again?
Her son's grown and in the army now.
Oh, no.
Where's Dad?
He wanted to be alone and locked himself up.
I think he's in shock.
- I'll talk to him. - So Young.
Leave him alone for now.
He'll have a lot on his mind.
Why are you back so early?
I wasn't feeling well, so I left work early.
Really?
You felt nauseous this morning. Do you still feel unwell?
Yes.
What's the matter?
Love has no reason
Welcome.
Welcome, Bok Nam! Take a seat.
My gosh.
Are you that pleased your wife's song's on the radio?
You bet I am.
When Dal Sook's song comes on the radio,
I just can't believe it and tears form in my eyes.
Isn't it great that she's getting noticed?
It is.
Did you spend the 3,000 dollars you borrowed yesterday?
Heo Se.
I came because I wanted to ask you something.
Okay. You can ask me anything.
Did I do anything silly or make any mistakes?
Did I?
As if you didn't.
You didn't mess up just once or twice. You...
Why are you suddenly asking me that?
The 3,000 dollars I borrowed yesterday.
I feel too miserable to tell you what happened.
Oh. Did you spend it on something silly?
I think I'm fine. What's wrong with me?
Well, yes, when you're here,
you seem normal.
You eat well and speak normally.
But my wife told me that...
it got really serious at one point.
Why?
How? How bad?
You didn't recognize your son-in-law and threw him out.
You thought Jin Ok was cheating with her director,
and hid all her shoes so she couldn't go to work.
Then you cut up all her clothes.
That's not all.
You got upset and smashed plates...
and made such a huge mess.
You were such a nuisance...
Oh, dear.
Was I that bad?
I'm not saying you were like that every day.
You're a lucky guy.
Do you know how hard your family's trying to help you?
Your son-in-law gave up on his newlywed life...
to move in to care for you.
Jin Ok works from home when she can to watch you.
So Young and Dae Young too.
Their lives revolve around me.
That's why you're so blessed.
Hi, Dong Hyun.
Go on in. Your dad's waiting.
Are you going home?
- Yes. Bye. - Bye.
What is it, Dad?
You're here.
Let's eat out with your mom today.
I can't. I have math class.
We meant to see a movie yesterday...
but couldn't because of my leather pants.
Let's eat out tonight.
What about my class?
You said you'd help me.
What's more important, me and your mom getting back together...
or your math class?
Okay, fine. I'll call Mom.
Wait, wait.
Don't say I made you do it.
- Then what should I say? - Use your brain.
You're smart because you take after me.
You're good at scheming and pulling pranks and I'm clever.
- They're different. - What?
Think about what made your mom...
rush over to be with you.
See, that's being sly and petty.
Mom comes whenever I'm sick.
Does she?
- Don't let it show. - Okay.
Mom, it's me.
My stomach's been hurting all day.
I missed my extra class and came to Dad's.
Did you see a doctor?
Why didn't you?
Okay. Stay there. I'll come over.
Is he sick?
Yes. His stomach hurt all day and he missed his extra class.
See? He got sick right away because I didn't care for him.
The poor thing.
- I'll come with you. - Forget it.
I'll go on my own. You get ready to go to America.
Bring Dong Hyun with you if you can.
Okay.
You retched this morning...
because of the smell of the fish soup.
Yes.
Do you think...
you're pregnant?
What? No way.
Actually, last night, I had what I think is a conception dream.
How do you know if it's a conception dream?
An old woman dressed in a pretty hanbok beckoned me over.
Then she gave me a peach.
That is a conception dream.
I should do a test.
Right? Don't you think it's a conception dream too?
What if I am pregnant?
What else is there to do?
Have the baby and raise it well.
Go and eat dinner.
Don't mention pregnancies to anyone.
- We aren't even sure yet. - Okay.
- Get some rest. - I will.
A peach?
Is that for a boy or a girl?
Where's Father?
He must be tired. He's in his room. He said he isn't hungry.
He's a bit strange. He's not his usual self.
Something happened today.
Mr. Baek, how is So Young?
I don't think she's too bad.
She'll be fine after a good rest.
Really? That's a relief.
- Come and eat. - Okay.
- Eat up. - Okay.
Why aren't you under the covers?
How did you put up with...
all my complaints about her?
Why didn't you just say you lent her money?
You're really foolish and mean.
You made me look terrible.
Why won't you say anything?
Say something.
I'm sorry.
I should apologize. Why would you feel sorry?
When I married you because I thought you were trustworthy,
I entrusted you with every detail of our lives.
I ended up torturing myself...
for not trusting you when I should have to the end.
I'm sorry.
Stop saying that. You make me feel ashamed.
You needn't feel ashamed.
I'm sorry for everything.
What do you mean?
- This is fun. - It is.
Dong Hyun!
It hurts.
You're here.
You should've gone to the hospital first.
Let's go to the ER.
It's not that serious.
What are the symptoms?
It felt like a stomach ache,
but Dad massaged my belly and I feel better now.
I think it was something he ate.
He had a meat skewer or something after school.
You said your stomach hurt since this morning.
- What? - Why did you eat that...
when you had a stomach ache?
I'm okay now. Let's have the dinner we skipped yesterday.
We can't eat out when you have a stomach ache.
Let's go home. I'll cook you something.
Come on. Let's go.
I thought it was serious.
You idiot.
You said we should eat out.
I said only if we could, depending on your condition.
Darn it.
Let's see.
Look over here.
Why are you taking photos?
Why not?
It's to celebrate us being together.
That's right. It's all a good memory.
Look up at the camera.
(Attaching)
(Send)
I think we have a conclusion. Sorry.
(Jeil Hospital)
You came to see me on your own today.
Yes.
Because of my fading memories,
I keep doing things that I shouldn't.
I see that you're in shock.
What will I do next time?
I'm afraid, doctor.
You have your family, Mr. Kim.
Trust them...
I'm doing things that upset and wrong them.
I can't stand it.
It's taking its toll on you.
What did you do to feel better...
when you got stressed out at work?
I tried harder to survive.
That's it.
When you first came to see me,
I'd have told you this.
"Dementia is a message that you should try harder."
Whatever that may be, find something you can do...
and do that as best you can.
(Dementia, Stroke Patient Care Home)
Hello? Hey.
I came out for a walk.
Right now?
I'm at a park near our home.
Don't go too far.
What about lunch?
Oh, really?
I'll come home early. Bye.
Hello, Cha Jin Ok speaking.
Hello, Ms. Noh.
Did you get the files for our launch?
This time we're going overseas, so I'm more nervous than before.
I hope it goes well. It will, right?
Okay.
I'll treat you to celebrate selling out...
and making it abroad.
Bye.
Dong Hyun.
Are you really going to America?
Yes. I won't be away for long. Come in.
Sit down.
- Have some. - Okay.
Did you have fun with Mom and Dad yesterday?
Not really.
Mom left right after dinner.
Really?
Dong Hyun. Do you want your mom to live with your dad?
Yes, naturally.
Why is that natural?
They're my mom and dad.
That's a perfect family.
I realized something when I divorced your dad.
Nothing in this world is perfect.
Don't think that perfection exists.
And don't expect from or force perfection on anyone.
What do you mean?
Don't urge your mom and dad to get together.
The moment they move in for you, everyone will be unhappy.
I wanted to create the perfect family.
That's why I spied on you and forced rules on you.
Because of me, our family was unhappy.
That's why we split up.
Will we be unhappy if we live together?
You can never know.
But don't force your mom.
If your parents live together,
will either of them be really happy? Will you?
Think about it.
You're old enough now.
Okay, I will.
What are you two talking about so seriously?
Why? Are you jealous that we're having a serious chat?
Why would I be jealous?
If you're ready, let's go.
Okay.
Let's go.
I said I'll come with you to the airport.
Don't. I won't be gone forever.
I'll come back really soon.
Okay. Call me when you get there.
Or if something happens.
I'll listen to you rant.
Thanks, Mi Rae.
I'm not going for good. Why am I tearing up?
I know.
Why are you crying like you're leaving for good?
Get in.
Bye, Dong Hyun.
Goodbye, Mom.
Bye.
See you.
Take care. Go back inside.
How are you, Master Sagong?
How do you think I feel today?
Sorry about yesterday.
Dong Hyun suddenly said he had a stomach ache.
If he didn't have a stomach ache,
would you have come to me for our third date?
I'm not sure.
I might have, but I might not have.
I don't know.
Anyway, I had too much on my mind yesterday.
Did you?
I am very clear-headed today.
Are you?
Then with your clear head, let's begin the lesson.
Because I feel clear-headed, I would like to take the day off.
What?
I want to spend the day resting.
I need to think.
Are you upset because I didn't show up yesterday?
- What? - You're peeved.
Why did you get peeved over that? That's not like you.
What do you think I'm like?
I'm like anyone else.
I laugh when happy, cry when sad,
and get upset when my ego's bruised.
Okay.
Let's go on the third date we missed out on yesterday.
Shall I tell you what I'm really like?
Yes, tell me.
I know when I'm beaten and I give into the result.
You dislike complicated situations...
and I dislike dragging things on.
I prefer things to be clean-cut.
That is what I'm like.
From now on,
there will be no third date.
Why do you say you're beaten when I stood you up once?
Explaining just to make you understand...
isn't my style.
Why is it so complicated?
If you don't want to go on a third date, then fine.
I'm not in the mood for a lesson, so I'm leaving.
Goodbye.
My goodness.
We brought back everything we took with us...
and it's just like before.
I do owe a lot to a friend,
but it's so good to be back.
Honey. I promise to...
buy this house back. Don't you worry.
Your song's getting noticed.
We'll get this house back.
I hope we do.
Mom, Mom.
Sit down.
I didn't know we lived in such a nice house.
Dad, aren't you glad we went bankrupt?
- What? - How can you say that?
If we hadn't lost everything,
we wouldn't have realized how much this house meant to us.
Right. So many people don't know...
how precious their everyday life and happiness is.
- That goes for us too. - Right.
They need to lose everything like we did.
Must you lose everything to know?
That's why we're told to read.
You can learn things without experiencing them firsthand.
- Hey. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hyeon U.
So Young.
- Hello. - Hi.
Thank you so much.
If you hadn't let us stay at your place,
we'd have ended up in a single room in the basement.
My place was already empty.
Still, it must have not been easy.
Give me that.
You're our first visitor since we moved back.
I should serve you tea at least.
So Young, you said you weren't feeling well. Are you okay now?
I feel better now.
Yesterday, I couldn't stand the smell of fish soup.
Really?
Do you think you could be pregnant?
We're going to do a pregnancy test.
To tell the truth, I had a conception dream.
You had a conception dream?
Yes. An old lady was dressed in a pretty hanbok.
She beckoned me over...
and gave me the peach she was holding.
I juggled it a few times in the air.
I don't think I dropped it.
My goodness. That is a conception dream.
Congratulations, So Young!
If you dreamed of a peach, it means you'll have a son.
Congratulations, Hyeon U!
Thank you.
It must be the winter weather.
Static electricity can sting.
Congratulations anyway.
Thanks.
Go and get it confirmed.
Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- I'll take that. - Congratulations.
I'll take it.
Thanks. It's not our house yet.
Bu In gave you a huge gift.
Save up quick and buy it back.
We should.
I'm glad you're back to being a neighbor again. Congratulations.
Hey. I think you're the one who deserves to be congratulated.
So Young might be pregnant.
Here.
What? Is that true? Are you pregnant?
No, Mom. We don't know for sure yet.
Why aren't you sure?
Hyeon U had a conception dream where...
an old lady gave him a peach.
Here. Congratulations.
Then you must be pregnant. Congratulations, So Young.
My gosh.
(Dementia, Stroke Patient Care Home)
You didn't recognize your son-in-law and threw him out.
You thought Jin Ok was cheating with her director,
and hid all her shoes so she couldn't go to work.
Then you cut up all her clothes.
That's not all.
You got upset and smashed plates.
(Cha Jin Ok)
Oh, dear.
Mother.
Dad. Hyeon U had a conception dream.
What?
Then...
is So Young pregnant?
No, Dad.
We don't know if it's a conception dream,
and nothing has been confirmed yet.
What is it with you all?
What if I'm not pregnant?
If you aren't yet, you will be soon.
- Good point. - Right?
How is that a good point?
Hyeon U's old.
He should become a dad soon.
I see one person who wouldn't want that.
Who wouldn't want So Young to have a baby?
- You. - Why would I not want that?
Do you want to be a grandma at 46?
Right. 46 is a bit early.
