Oh, dear.
(Episode 91)
My gosh.
Hey.
Oh, no. You look so upset and worried.
I guess you couldn't find her.
Did you run around all day?
Where could my mom be hiding?
Oh, dear.
Hey.
What happened to your shoes?
You'll wear holes in them.
Who cares about my shoes?
What if my mom dies on a street somewhere?
The thought of it is driving me crazy.
Why would you say that?
You know...
I kept thinking about it,
and it's just so odd.
I mean, it's not like your mom doesn't know your personality.
She must've known that you'd persistently try to find her.
Why did she have to leave a letter and disappear like that?
It's because she didn't want to be a burden to her children.
Even when she had her back surgery,
she didn't want her children to spend money,
so she stubbornly insisted she wouldn't undergo...
Why did the doctor come? What did he say?
Oh, he just said...
I should stick to physical therapy and exercise.
And I should get plenty of massages...
so that I don't grow stiff.
By the way, the test I mentioned last time...
Doctor, we can go now, right?
Come on. Let's not stay here and leave the shop empty.
Why? What is it, all of a sudden?
My goodness, hey. You should at least eat something.
What if you collapse?
Gosh, I'm so worried about Myung Ja.
What should I do?
Geon. In my dreams,
I went back to you hundreds of times.
I went back, helped you up,
and held you in my arms.
Mom!
Mom.
- Come here. - Mom.
Geon, my son.
My dear son, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for leaving you like that back then.
Mom's sorry.
Mom is sorry.
How could you leave like that?
I never even got to call you Mom.
I'm really sorry.
I felt so bad.
To tell you the truth,
I've missed you a lot too.
Ever since that day,
there hasn't been a single day...
when I didn't miss you, Mom.
That day...
The day you left,
our stuff was left unpacked, just like that.
You said you'd make me tteokbokki once we were done unpacking,
but Mr. Seo showed up, and you stepped out with him.
When you came back, you looked sad.
And that night, you left.
When you stepped out with Mr. Seo,
you met Grandma,
didn't you?
Yes.
And you signed that pledge.
My father...
had already extorted a lot of money from her.
So I...
had to leave to pay her back.
Even so, why did you make such a choice?
From the moment...
your father and I fell in love,
we had to be on the run.
We'd run away,
and Chairwoman Hwang would send her people to find us.
Then we'd run away to someplace else.
And she'd find us again.
Your dad, Hae Joon...
It's true...
that I ruined his life.
If only he had never met me,
he would've lived...
a comfortable life, enjoying his family's wealth.
I was too young back then,
so I don't remember anything else,
but I clearly remember what Dad told me once.
He said the greatest happiness in his life...
was meeting you, Mom.
He said he was the happiest...
when he was with you.
Dad...
went out to look for you every single day after you left.
He said he'd be sure to find you...
so that the three of us could live happily together again.
He left me with Gong Hee's family.
I waited for you who wouldn't come back...
and for Dad who was busy looking for you.
Every day,
I waited...
and waited.
I'm sorry.
I thought I should leave...
I thought I had to leave...
for your sake and for your dad too.
I regret it now.
I deeply regret it.
Then why did you do something you'd regret again?
You met your son again at last. Why did you leave again?
From now on,
never leave me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for everything.
Stop saying sorry.
You have to be stronger now.
There are many hurdles we must overcome.
My grandma.
You should meet her.
Well...
I...
I can't do that.
But we're a family, you know.
I just...
I want nothing else.
As long as you...
As long as I can see you like this.
I ask for nothing more.
Now,
you have me.
Just trust me and follow my lead.
(Baeknyeon Spine Hospital)
You gave my mom a referral note?
Yes.
I told her to go to a bigger hospital.
But what's wrong with my mom?
Please tell me. What's wrong with her?
I believe she has blood cancer.
I told her to go to a bigger hospital...
and get an in-depth assessment.
Cancer?
What do you mean?
Are you saying...
my mom has cancer?
We need her to get a full assessment to be sure,
but that's what I think.
She's not young,
so she should undergo treatment right away.
Does it mean it can be cured?
People get chemotherapy.
Can my mom live if she undergoes chemotherapy?
We'll need to run some more tests to be sure,
but in Ms. Im Sun Yi's case,
she may need a bone marrow transplant.
That's...
Would she get it from her children?
Did you tell my mom about this too?
She asked me about it back then,
so I explained everything to her.
Goodness. Why do you keep asking over and over?
I told you. He said you'd be fine after the surgery.
Not that. I'm asking about the cost.
It'll cost a lot of money.
My goodness. Don't you worry.
I just feel so bad.
Why do you feel bad, Mom?
At this old age, why bother...
My gosh. I feel horrible.
She felt bad that she was still alive.
She felt terrible that she'd make her children worry.
So, she went into hiding. That was why.
Mom.
How could you think that?
Mom, please don't do this.
Please come back, Mom.
(Sunny Daycare Center)
Hello.
My gosh.
You're quite late.
What's she doing here?
Well, the thing is...
No Ah told me...
that his daycare teacher wanted to meet with his mom.
I am No Ah's mom,
so I should be here, of course.
You're a doctor. Aren't you busy?
What about you? Shouldn't you be at work now?
This is about my son. Of course, I should be here.
"My son?"
Why is No Ah your son?
I think of him as my own, not some stranger's son.
Please calm down.
I asked you to come...
because there's an open class soon.
- I'll be there! - I'll be there!
I'm so stressed out, stuck in the middle!
Hey, pick a card.
My prediction was correct, remember?
- I said a new life was blossoming. - Goodness.
Wait, did that card put a curse on me or something?
No, your fate is already decided.
These cards...
just give you a sneak preview of what is to come. All right.
No, forget it.
Hold on.
- This one is calling me. - Flip it.
What?
That looks ominous.
What does this card mean?
- Look. He's tied up. - Yes.
This card is called...
the Hanged Man...
or the Death Row...
Come on!
Does it mean I'm practically on death row now?
Well, this card symbolizes sacrifice.
Hey.
You're totally tied up.
Why did I have to pick this card?
You met Ms. Audrey?
My gosh, I'm glad. I'm so relieved.
Thanks, Maeng Gong Hee.
It's all thanks to your advice.
You don't need to thank me. You acted on it right away.
Well done, Gu Dan Soo. I'm so proud of you.
You'll come home with her, right?
I'll be there tomorrow too.
Where are you going?
Oh, Mother.
I'll call you back.
"Gu Dan Soo?"
I guess you and Dan Soo are close.
Well, we've been friends since we were kids.
He's renting a room at my parents' place now.
I get that you two are friends,
but he called a married woman at this late hour?
That's bad manners.
Something happened, so he wanted to tell me about it.
What happened?
Is there a secret I don't know about?
Mother, what about dinner?
I'm meeting my friends, so I'm heading out now.
Fix yourself some dinner.
Is Min Gi working late again?
Yes, his project is keeping him very busy these days.
It's your fault that Min Gi is so busy these days.
- Pardon? - He didn't want to upset you,
so he turned down Ji Na's offer to help out.
Seriously, what's the matter with you?
Be honest. Are you worried Min Gi might cheat on you?
I really can't understand you no matter how hard I try.
I won't ask you to help him at work,
but you at least shouldn't get in his way.
Well, Mother.
Momo can hear everything.
What?
Every time you say such things to me,
it stresses my baby too.
I'm trying to be careful,
so I ask you to please be careful too.
I want you to be fond of me, Mother.
Of Momo too.
Have a good time with your friends, Mother.
Look at that.
She's using her baby as an excuse. Goodness.
By that, she meant I should stop nagging her.
I can't be fond of her unless she does things I can approve of.
If she wants me to only say nice things,
she should be good to me.
Oh, dear. My friends...
will ask me about my daughter-in-law.
I belittled Kang Myung Ja's daughter in front of them.
Why her of all girls?
I'm so stressed out.
Does anyone care about how stressed I am?
Momo.
Let's only hear nice things and think happy thoughts.
A happy heart brings happy things.
Okay?
Momo.
I can't wait to meet you.
Mommy will shower you with love.
Look forward to it.
Do you still have a lot to do?
I can help you, you know.
If you're done for the day, get going.
I got this.
Let's grab a drink.
I want to talk to you about something.
I have no reason to talk to you.
You won't even look at me.
Why are you being like this?
Because you might waver?
What's wrong with that?
We were so in love for three years.
About our breakup too.
Did our love fizzle out?
We were forced to end things because of someone.
But it's not something that can be undone.
Then why did you step in and ruin my blind date?
You can't stand the thought of me dating someone else.
It was a mistake. It won't happen again.
Is that so?
Fine.
Then I should go on a date with that man again.
What are you doing?
I should make some effort not to confuse you.
I should see him again.
I have so much time on my hands.
It's me, Kang Ji Na.
I want to see you again.
You know, that day,
our conversation was interrupted by an intruder.
Can you come to my neighborhood?
I'm leaving work now.
Yes, I know that place.
Okay, let's meet there.
All right.
What?
(Assistant Manager Eom Hong Dan)
What's up? Why are you calling me at this hour?
Did they find Grandma?
No, it's not about that.
What should I do?
Earlier, I had to leave in such a rush...
to get to the daycare center on time,
so I totally forgot to send an email.
I told the agency I'd email them by today.
The files are all at work too.
Oh, no.
We told them we'd email them by today, for sure.
I should've reminded you earlier.
I have to prepare for an open class at the daycare center.
I'm sorry, Maeng Gong Hee.
Gong Hee, please.
Help me, please?
Well, Mr. Seo is working late today.
Oh, then you can just call Mr. Seo.
- Help me. - Well...
I'll see what I can do.
Text me your laptop password.
Okay.
No, I shouldn't disturb him when he's busy working.
I should just go there.
We can have dinner together on our way home.
(General Manager Seo Min Gi)
What's wrong with that?
We were so in love for three years.
About our breakup too.
Did our love fizzle out?
You know that wasn't the case.
(Ji Na)
Can you come here now?
What?
I think I'm in danger now.
I'm scared.
Hey, where are you now?
Darn it. Hey, let go of me if you want to talk.
Hey, who do you think you are?
Do you always have to do whatever you want?
Earlier, you said we should finish our conversation.
I'm all for it.
Let's have an intimate conversation.
I was crazy for letting you come to my place.
You said it was good manners to take a lady home.
Do you call this good manners?
When someone escorts you to your place,
it's good manners to invite them in.
Who do you think you are? You annoying little...
What?
(General Manager Seo Min Gi)
It doesn't look like he clocked out for the day.
Where did he go?
I never wanted you to waste your time with a jerk like him.
Then what do you want me to do?
You're not here.
How am I going to spend all this time alone?
Did you do that on purpose?
To see how I'd react?
I did it because I was upset.
Because you kept pushing me away.
Please don't do things like this.
You're destroying yourself.
Who cares if I destroy myself?
It's none of your business now.
You ditched me to take responsibility for Gong Hee.
You came running to rescue me today.
Did it mean nothing?
Was it just another mistake?
Should I interpret it like that?
I'm off.
Don't go.
Don't go, Seo Min Gi.
Stay with me, just tonight.
No, just for a bit.
It's fine even if it's just for a moment.
Let's stay like this, okay?
Hey, you.
Mom didn't want her children to donate their bone marrow to her,
so she decided...
not to get the tests done and went into hiding.
Goodness. She's so stubborn.
I can't believe she just left a letter...
and vanished like that.
Hey, we have to find Mom as soon as possible.
She needs to get the tests done and undergo treatment.
If Mom's condition gets worse...
Then she...
What if she passes away?
Oh, dear.
I'll look into it too,
so try not to be anxious. Take care of yourself.
All right?
Okay.
I guess that was your eldest brother.
He must be so worried.
He can't even come here now since he's in the US.
It must be very frustrating.
Hey, by the way...
Did Mother...
have a serious condition?
It's none of your business.
Go out and look for Audrey.
Well, about that. I talked to Dan Soo on the phone.
He found Audrey.
He'll sleep there tonight...
and bring her here in the morning.
Now that he's found Audrey,
I'll work even harder to find Mother...
Forget it.
I don't need your help.
You go out of your way for others while ignoring your family.
You always put others first.
Your own family comes second.
I should be used to it by now, but I'm sick of it.
Now that he's found Audrey,
you can worry about my mom?
Does my mom not matter to you at all?
You have too much time on your hands now,
so you'll be generous and show some interest?
Forget it. No, thank you.
My goodness. Why must you put it like that?
I've been looking for Mother too...
I suppose...
you're not taking me seriously.
When I said I couldn't live with you anymore,
I wasn't lying.
I...
won't live with you.
Once I find Mom,
I will...
divorce you.
(General Manager Seo Min Gi)
No.
No bad thoughts, please.
Everything will be all right.
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
Yes.
It's me.
It looks like I have to pull an all-nighter at work.
Where...
are you now?
I'm at the office.
Don't stay up to wait for me. Just go to bed.
(General Manager Seo Min Gi)
That's a lie.
(My Merry Marriage)
- My baby sibling - For Ssook Ssook's sake,
you should just give up.
- I never give up. - My baby sibling
Eom Hong Dan never gives up.
What if that ends up being my last memory of her?
- Sending Mom home all by herself. - Oh, dear.
- Myung Ja. - Don't call my name.
I don't want to hear it.
- Grandma! - Yes, Dan Soo.
Mom's here too.
How dare you set foot in here?
Dan Soo, how could you...
- From now on, - You...
I need you to accept her as my mom, Grandma.
