[Episode 11] Cheon Yeon Soo, what do you think love is?
Listening and obeying well?
No.
Giving up your sugar stars?
No.
Then…
Wanting to see someone every day?
That's not it either.
Then what is it?
Love is
being by each other's side.
Like this?
Yeah, and
giving a tight hug.
Holding hands is okay too.
- Really? - Yeah.
[Love Biscuit]
Oh dear, dumb bear.
I said I hate it, ask to change it for me.
What's wrong with being number 3?
Why am I number 3?
We won the stick-hopping game because of me.
I'm stronger than Han Woo and Seung Eon.
Gosh, dumb bear!
We are a family, the Kang Hee family. Do you think the numbers are random?
Seung Eon has been with us since he was 7, so he is number 1.
Han Woo has been playing with us since he was 8, so he is number 2.
And you moved here when you were 9.
Then, what do I have to do to become number 1?
I really want to be your number 1.
Well? I don't know.
Hey!
The words "I love you"
are said when people are leaving.
Yeon Soo,
what I am trying to say…
Don't do it.
Don't do it, please!
I love you.
I love you, Yeon Soo.
You said love is about hugging
and holding hands.
We knew that when we were 10. Why don't we know that now?
Don't do this, Yeon Soo.
We can't go back to before the accident.
No, it doesn't matter.
Can't we just think about the two of us?
If you say it doesn't matter, will my sin disappear?
If you say you love me, if you hug me and hold my hand,
will what happened disappear?
Will my dead mother, your dead father come back to life?
Don't make it more painful, Yeon Soo.
Fine, do as you like.
But just know this,
no matter how much you try to avoid and hide,
nothing will change.
You will come back again,
because I'll be right here.
What's the matter?
Yeon Soo.
[Designer Ji Kang Hee, Assistant Manager]
[CEO Hwang Jeong Gu]
[Resignation Letter]
Ms. Kang Hee.
I took care of the registration in advance,
since we're hospital mates.
See, I told you I could come alone.
- Yes. - Goodbye.
- Patient Ji Chun Pil. - Yes.
Stay here, it's alright.
The results are not good.
Has it relapsed?
Is he your guardian?
Yes, I'm the son.
Let's get you admitted first.
We'll have to do the chemotherapy again?
Yes, besides chemotherapy, there are no other options.
[Hospital Admission Form]
Here it is.
- Yes, it's all done. - Thank you.
[Mr. Chun Pil]
The customer's phone is turned off, please leave a message…
Have you tried confession?
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God illuminates our hearts.
Firmly believing in God's mercy,
confess truthfully the sins you have committed.
My heart is stronger than that of most priests.
I'll listen to any confession
and keep your secrets.
Does God
forgive any sin if it's confessed?
Does He forgive anything?
Of course.
I killed someone.
I killed my mom and Yeon Soo's dad,
and then I forgot about it
for 20 years.
Then I dared to love Yeon Soo.
Can I be forgiven too?
Can He forgive someone like me?
Do you know how to turn yourself in?
I did some research.
This is all that comes up?
- Open it. - How are you planning to turn yourself in?
Do you have any evidence?
The doll that you supposedly shoved in, it's gone now, right?
What about the car? It has already been scrapped, and it's gone, right?
How old were you back then?
You were young.
You found that memory after 20 years,
how can you be sure it's true or not?
You just
want to punish yourself.
You didn't even talk to Yeon Soo, you just cut ties and ran away, right?
Shouldn't Yeon Soo be the one giving the punishment, if there is any?
Whether you apologize or get punished,
shouldn't you at least talk to Yeon Soo first?
[Kang Hee]
Mr. Yeon Soo.
Chun Pil was diagnosed with leukemia 3 years ago.
He had 12 rounds of chemotherapy back then.
I had no idea, not at all.
I also had cancer surgery back then.
- Mr. Tarzan? - Ms. Hepburn?
- Hello. - Oh, yes.
Did you hear that we met at a classic film gathering?
Here…
The hospital life alone was a bit scary and lonely.
Meeting Mr. Tarzan has been a great help.
I also matched outfits with Ms. Hepburn like this.
This kind of walk makes it bearable.
Let's be hospital friends.
Until each of us has a guardian,
let's come to the hospital together.
Let's end the hospital life
altogether.
Once I finish this round of chemotherapy, I don't plan on coming back anymore.
I thought he was just saying that back then,
but it seemed he was serious.
He said he won't receive any more treatment.
I can't persuade him.
So, Mr. Yeon Soo, please try to talk to him.
Where is he now?
Anyway, the night view here is really…
The night view is really beautiful.
I was planning to spend this Christmas here with you.
Yeon Soo,
merry Christmas.
Oh, merry Christmas in advance.
Merry Christmas in advance, sir.
Enough.
I've made up my mind, Yeon Soo.
About what?
I need to change my car.
- I'm going to change it to a camper. - All of a sudden?
Driving around wherever my feet take me, to places with no name
and suddenly disappear without a trace.
Then to prevent that, I must follow you around.
But there's just one thing that bothers me.
I'm worried about Kang Hee and Seung Eon.
Well, you said you'd take responsibility for Kang Hee.
What about me?
To me, you are like a father.
Why exclude me?
You're not worried about me?
Sir,
can you please do the chemotherapy?
Or at least,
just get admitted.
Hospital gowns don't suit me.
What doesn't suit you?
If you walk down the hospital corridor wearing a hospital gown, it's like a runway.
That's because you're my fan.
It's not because I'm your fan, it's because I'm your son.
Do you know how many memories you and I have together?
I once told you that you looked cool playing the guitar.
Then you taught me how to play the guitar.
Because I was chubby,
when I told you that my friends wouldn't play sports with me,
you played soccer and basketball with me.
You talk too much, brat.
Until you say you'll get treated,
just know that I won't give up on you.
Chemotherapy makes all your hair fall out.
I spent so much effort regrowing my hair.
Let's not tell Kang Hee.
I haven't done much for her until now.
Finally,
she's able to smile and go about her life.
I don't want to make it hard for her.
Kang Hee is not living happily.
She is struggling right now.
So you have to hold on, sir.
Please.
Instead of Kang Hee,
I'll take care of you.
I don't want you to struggle, either.
It's not hard for me.
No matter how much you try to avoid or hide,
nothing will change.
You'll come back again
because I'll be right here.
I'm sorry, Yeon Soo.
I'm sorry.
[Motel California]
Good morning.
Where is Yeon Soo?
Probably went out?
Did he come in
last night?
Probably?
Mr. Kwon, you're neglecting your duties.
No way…
Kang Hee.
Where's Yeon Soo?
Weren't you staying together in Seoul?
He said he had to go somewhere for a few days due to work.
I think it's probably that
he's going for interviews.
What interviews?
He's been searching for veterinary researcher jobs.
I thought he talked this over with you.
[Hana Veterinary Clinic]
[Kang Hee]
Ms. Yoon,
are you there?
Are you not there?
It's me, Nan Woo.
It seems she's not here.
I can't face Han Woo anymore.
I shouldn't have interfered when you told me not to.
I'm embarrassed.
Why? Didn't Han Woo thank you that day?
- Really? - I would be grateful too.
You worried about me, ran to me, and caught me.
I'm glad you think that way.
Have you sorted all
your feelings for Yeon Soo?
Why should I sort them out?
I can't sort them out.
To me, the director
is like… an idol star?
He was, he is, and will always be
someone I respect and support.
Yes.
Then, what about Han Woo?
Do you like Han Woo?
Then…
That's not right, is it?
Why not?
Is it okay?
I don't know.
Now's not the time for me to advise others on their love life.
I have my own problems to deal with.
Uh, what's this? Who is it?
I always tell you everything.
I promise I won't tell the Yeon Soo.
I won't tell even to Han Woo, okay?
Hey, you like Ms. Yoon, right?
What?
It's obvious.
What's obvious? No, it's not like that.
We're just getting closer, that's all.
What?
Hey, Han Ah Reum.
Did you get kicked out too?
Let's talk.
Okay.
Seung Eon,
I've made up my mind.
Now it's your turn. There's something you need to do.
What my mom said about
you being an uneducated orphan,
I apologize for that.
Sorry.
But even if you can't help with other things,
you can avoid this with a middle school diploma.
You know I have a teaching certificate, right?
I'll help you prepare for the GED.
Think about it and let me know.
Am I supposed to carry the luggage?
[Cheon Yeon Soo]
Yeon Soo, where are you? Let's meet. I have something to say.
Could you let me know when you're available to talk?
I think I've been selfish.
Contact me, I'll wait.
Can we talk for a bit today?
I went to the clinic, and you weren't there.
Where are you? Yeon Soo.
[Nuclear Medicine CT Scan Room]
You are here.
Baton touch.
You can go now, Mr. Yeon Soo.
I have to be here, we're family.
After getting him admitted, your part is over.
I'll handle the rest as his hospital mate.
It's okay, still…
Go back, don't worry.
I knew this would happen, so I bought it.
Haven't you heard anything from Yeon Soo yet?
Oh? Manager.
The veterinarian came.
We should find an owner before it gets colder.
Sorry, I couldn't pay attention to you.
Yeon Soo,
why haven't you contacted me?
Let's not tell Kang Hee.
I don't want to make it hard for her.
I came because I had something to say.
I have a lot of work delayed.
Later. Let's talk later.
Why are you back so soon?
You probably find it uncomfortable to see me.
I was a coward.
I wanted to believe Yeon Soo's words that it didn't matter.
Listening your advice to overcome it alongside Yeon Soo,
I wanted to be deceived.
You said Esther is going to the US soon?
Does it taste good when you eat alone?
I ordered something that tastes good even when eaten alone.
Is this sauce the secret?
It's addictive.
More than Kang Hee?
Kang Hee is going overseas to study with Esther.
I think that's a good idea too, and I plan to help.
Where are you going?
I need to stop them.
Do you think someone like her will feel better running away abroad?
You can't let her live her entire life with guilt, criticizing herself.
I'm going to tell her not to run away, to face it by my side.
As much as Kang Hee is struggling, no, even more so,
I am ready to bear it with her, and endure it all.
Study abroad?
All of a sudden?
Don't even dream about it.
Min Goo.
Hey, no, go back.
If you want to register your marriage, you need to go to the town office. Why come to me?
Actually, if I want to see a traffic accident investigation records, what should I do?
Traffic accident?
What? What kind? Which one?
You know, our parents' traffic accident long ago.
I want to know the exact details of the accident.
I have the right to know.
Yes, of course you do.
Hold on a second.
First, you need to file a viewing request.
You can't do it right now, you need to fill out the application. Should I help?
Yes.
Wait a moment.
Kang Hee,
I can't leave you alone in vague guilt.
If my father really ended up like that because of you,
you should take care of me in place of my father.
You should hold me and cheer me up.
Where were you trying to run away to?
Nothing is certain yet.
No matter what the conclusion is, stay by my side.
Hold my hand and let's overcome it together.
You're cold, right?
Are you okay?
Sure, I'm okay.
Just a moment.
[Seoul Blue General Hospital Registration]
Was this why you couldn't be reached?
Why is this still here?
Be honest with me.
Well, it's like…
Are you hurt?
Were you hospitalized? Is it a terminal illness?
Not me, but someone else.
Someone else, who?
Well… I went to a conference in Seoul.
A friend was kicked by a horse and broke his ribs.
But I broke some of my own ribs back in the day.
So I gave him advice and just took care of him, as I was there…
You…
You're really a terrible liar.
It's not a lie.
I said I'm okay.
Being a large animal vet is a dangerous job.
You be careful too.
Don't worry.
I'm the top-ranked among the cows in this town.
Were you thinking of getting a job elsewhere because you're number one?
I know you went for an interview, not a conference.
Oh.
We hid it from each other to avoid worrying.
Pushing each other away, thinking it's for the other's sake.
Let's avoid that.
Okay?
Okay.
Promise?
Promise.
Director.
Why did you come out? I told you to rest.
You said you don't like the hotel breakfast, and have plans for dinner, so I had to come.
I was a bit busy.
Are you dating?
Ah, well… it's similar.
Well, please find a replacement for me.
Have you made up your mind?
I'm trying to make a new start.
I don't want to be under my parents' interference here.
I hate hearing this and that even more.
Anyway,
I think I need to go to the US.
No way.
Walk carefully, it's dangerous.
Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?
Going abroad? Are you sure you won't think about Little Heart?
Can you live as if you forgot everything and nothing happened?
While you're missing Little Heart,
I don't want you to live a life full of regret.
Then what should I do?
Should I raise a fatherless child in Korea?
We can make it happen.
Esther,
look at yourself properly.
With your beauty, intelligence, and wealth,
overflowing with charm, can't you find a father for the baby?
The only thing you're lacking is a good eye for men.
I'll help you with that, let's find a father together.
What are you talking about?
Hey, are you really crazy?
You should make a new start,
but do it with Little Heart.
It's Victor, that rat, who did wrong. Why are you giving up on Little Heart?
You haven't done anything wrong.
Be confident, like Esther.
Find a man who will accept you as you are.
Will there be one?
There will be a line.
Trust me.
If you look inside, it has detailed information about the accident.
If there's something you don't know, don't hesitate to ask me.
Thank you, Min Goo.
For what? Take care of Kang Hee.
I'm leaving.
[Death Certificate (Autopsy Report)]
[Accident Scene Record]
[Personal Belongings]
[Traffic Accident Confirmation Report]
Four cars that slipped on icy roads.
It was a fatal accident caused by a chain collision.
[Car 3 collided with Car 2]
[and Car 4 following behind struck the rear of Car 3] The overturned car is your father's car.
Let's go.
Really?
He is tall and handsome.
That's really something.
I hope he comes soon.
Oh? Yeon Soo.
Oh my God!
This is a family meeting place, why are you here?
Kang Hee is my family now.
I won't let go of her hand.
Do you really have to make me look like a bad person?
Just don't act like the bad person, Su Ji.
Just stay quiet for a moment.
You know I clearly don't like her.
Holding hands? What are you thinking?
I'm sorry.
I have something important to say.
I'll say it and leave.
Let go of Yeon Soo's hand and talk.
I'll just…
Su Ji!
You really shouldn't be doing this.
Su Ji.
What's with that face?
A flower being angry and frowning?
A flower should smile brightly.
That's a right and a responsibility.
So a flower can't be angry?
If there's something to be angry about, I'll be angry myself.
So, solve it through talking
and soften your face.
Through conversation, gently.
Okay.
Let's resolve everything here.
Yes, go ahead.
I was really struggling,
you know?
Your dad died suddenly in an accident,
people were gossiping so much.
Besides the accident your dad had,
he was cheating, deceiving me.
Let's leave that out.
It was so tough, I thought of just dying.
- What? - Oh my!
Since I was going to die,
like "Thelma & Louise".
You know, "Thelma & Louise"?
I know.
Let's hit it hard.
Let's go to the cliff and end it in style.
Didn't even make it to the cliff, the car broke down in the middle of nowhere.
Thank goodness! It was heaven's help, Su Ji.
Just listen.
Kang Hee, you! It was because of you!
Kang Hee, your teddy bear!
It was blocking the exhaust pipe.
No wonder I felt nauseous, and I almost threw up while driving.
Mom.
Is what you just said true?
It's the truth!
How could a child do that?
Kang Hee, you…
Just because I talked badly about your mom,
is that how you take revenge? On an adult?
I'm still too scared to drive.
Oh, my! Gods! Thank you!
You saved Su Ji's life.
It's all thanks to you that I met Su Ji today.
What? What is…
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I was wrong.
Please forgive me.
You were young, why go this far…
Thank you so much, Mom.
- Thank you. - No.
What's going on?
Cheon Yeon Soo.
So, do I have your permission?
Be happy, Mom.
Don't cry.
It makes you ugly.
Smile brightly like a flower.
That's right, just like that.
Give me this.
Go spend some time alone.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for being born by mistake.
For thinking that I ruined everything.
I'm sorry for not loving you.
It's okay now, right?
Yes, it's okay.
I love you.
Jeez!
Why are you crying?
Hey! Oh, dear!
Oh, my. Look how heavy this is.
No, I didn't raise cows to make money.
I made money to raise cows, Dad.
Hey, is Chil Ddaeng your child?
Is it a pet?
You should raise and sell cows.
Jeez!
Gods, that's a lot!
Hey, let's eat. Let's eat.
I thought all that organic and animal welfare stuff was nonsense.
I'll count on you in the future too, Han Woo.
You should eat all by yourself.
Jeez!
So, don't get too attached to the cows from now on.
I miss you.
Chil Ddaeng!
Sampa Gwangtteng!
Pinggu!
Kkomak!
I regret raising cattle.
I had no idea it would be this hard.
Ms. Yoon.
You miss her a lot, don't you?
When, no…
From where did you hear it? No…
Did you hear us?
Earlier, I…
I heard it from the restaurant.
Just like you,
I miss Chil Ddaeng.
I understand how you feel.
I also pondered with the same feeling.
That's right.
Even lab dogs have their fate predetermined.
Whenever that happens, Director always says,
even if they are destined to die tomorrow,
we should make sure they live comfortably today.
While at your farm,
Chil Ddaeng was surely happy.
Thank you, Ms. Nan Woo.
That's really comforting.
Well, then, will you buy me food?
Yes.
I left my meal and even my friend to follow you.
Oh, of course, I should treat you. Let's go.
Yes.
Is there anything specific you'd like to eat?
Um, anything but beef.
Oh, anything but beef?
Um, then…
Mr. Chun Pil is here.
You should rest, it's late.
I have something to say to Mr. Chun Pil.
Mr. Chun Pil, you're here.
Hey, there.
I have a favor to ask.
Thank you for asking.
I'd really like you to listen.
Yeah.
Please,
adopt Seung Eon.
Seung Eon is my brother.
He's not an orphan.
Thank you for saying that.
It's something I've always kept to myself as well.
I found it
hard to say to you.
It's not a difficult favor, right?
You just need to go to the town office and apply.
It's that simple?
It's not like you're changing his surname or anything.
Just register with the family department.
If it's that easy, we should have done it earlier.
I feel sorry.
I'm feeling sleepy because I took some medicine.
But I still need to say this.
If I die,
you'll have to split the inheritance with Seung Eon, is that okay?
That won't do.
You should spend all your money and then die.
So live a long, long life.
I got it.
Are you leaving?
The floor is hard.
What is this?
It's medicine, what else?
What kind of medicine?
When you get older, everything starts to hurt.
I got them all at once because it's a hassle.
Yeon Soo, come out.
Uh?
Have you ever heard that Mr. Chun Pil is sick?
No, I haven't heard anything.
Well, in his room
there are bags full of medicine.
It's like one's daily bread.
Really?
It's not a fatal illness, right?
Mr. Chun Pil?
Go in and rest quickly.
Good night.
[Seoul Green General Hospital Ranked No.1 in Cancer Hospital Brand Power]
- Is everything packed? - Yes, sir, it's all loaded.
Get in.
Oh, yes.
[Hana Veterinary Clinic]
[Kangwol Sarang Nursing Home]
Ji Kang Hee.
Oh, Jin Ah.
Do you work here?
Yeah, it's been a while.
I saw your father come, with Yeon Soo.
Do you know why?
He comes often.
Yeon Soo's grandfather used to be here too.
But later he was moved to the hospital.
On holidays or such occasions, your father even performs here.
To the elders here, Mr. Chun Pil is like an idol.
Come in.
Wow! Your hair has grown a lot.
Oh, my! It seems like you've got more hair! Have you rejuvenated?
Oh my, really.
Did you eat something good?
Ah, give me some too.
How would you like your hair done?
Nicely?
Didn't I always do it nicely?
- You look pretty no matter what. - She volunteers here every other week.
Yong Su also comes once a month.
Even though Yong Su talks a lot all the time,
he's like MacGyver with his hands.
There's nothing he can't fix.
He fixes everything, boiler, electricity, machines.
Wait, did you eat something that good? Give me some too.
I…
I don't know anything, not at all.
Because you didn't live here.
Then you probably don't know this either.
Portrait photos for memorial.
There are those that have been used,
and those that will be used.
The photos are nice.
Who took them?
Cha Seung Eon.
The Cha Seung Eon I know?
Is there another Cha Seung Eon besides him?
It was originally your father's responsibility.
Seems like he decided to pass it on to Seung Eon now.
- Oh, dear! - Oh, dear!
Sir!
Oh, no! Why did you do that?
You should have said it if you wanted to go somewhere.
Gods! Where are you going?
Here? Oh, you must be thirsty.
Please fill out the admission form starting with your name.
Yes.
Sir, admission?
Then all of this…
[Admission Application]
Where did you come from?
What's happening now?
But, how…
I said, what is it?
Ta-da!
It's not just any lake.
The sunset view here is amazing, it really is!
That's why I reserved this place a long time ago, really.
Come and see, it's awesome. Look at this.
Why did you reserve it?
Why leave the motel you love so much?
That…
Have you seen the movie "Troy"?
In that movie, the gods
envy humans. Do you know why?
Because gods can't die.
That's why death is alluring.
Are you dying?
No, it's just that… Hey, won't you die?
Jeez!
No, everyone dies eventually.
Life has meaning because of death, right?
It's alluring, even romantic, exactly.
Romantic Mr. Chun Pil,
what's the diagnosis?
Cancer.
Kang Hee.
Kang Hee, I'll explain everything.
- Wait, let me talk… - Don't say a word.
You knew everything.
What Chun Pil's illness is and what that medicine is.
You both went to the hospital together, right?
That receipt was Chun Pil's, wasn't it?
You kept it from me and checked out a nursing home together?
What on earth were you two thinking?
Am I really nothing? Not even a daughter?
Don't follow me.
Just keep taking care of him as you've been doing.
Get out.
You won't get out?
