(Episode 104)
Ms. Park Bok Hee...
What's wrong with her?
Doesn't she need a more in-depth examination?
I think she suffered a shock from dehydration.
But the hematologist is not in today.
What? Hematologist?
Did you not know by any chance?
Ma'am.
Bok Hee.
Are you all right?
Are you all right, ma'am?
I called your doctor,
and he wants you to get admitted right away.
Admitted?
What is going on?
Director Jang.
How could this happen?
Is...
this the correct diagnosis?
They told me to go to a bigger hospital...
and get it checked again, and I did.
They said it is right.
I don't know why these things always happen to me.
Even I think it's unbelievable.
I think...
I must've...
sold off the country 2 or 3 times in my previous life.
But still,
I lived so hard in my present life.
When I drove around in my truck, this happened.
During the night,
when the car lights went out,
I was on a route without any lamps.
You have no idea how scared I was until dawn.
I'm a little...
A little more...
A little more scared than back then.
At the end of that road,
I thought I'm finally seeing traffic lights...
and got myself a GPS.
I ended up at the end of a cliff.
I...
I must've lived too hard.
I'm really struggling.
Is that why...
you were cold to me...
and even refused to get married?
I'll...
be there with you.
Bok Hee,
I won't leave you alone at a cliff in a broken-down car.
I'm sure there is a way back.
Don't worry and don't be scared.
Thank you for telling me honestly.
Hello.
Why aren't we seeing progress?
If you can't find something business-wise,
there would be traces of bribery...
to the prosecutor, police, or the doctor to stop the sentencing.
Comb through it.
I looked at everything I can think of.
But there is a limit.
So I can stick by Director Yu...
and search and watch them as much as I want,
can't you give me a part-time job at least?
That's right. This way, I can keep a close watch.
Yes?
Hold on.
I wired it 15th of last month.
Yes, okay.
So that's how he siphon the money.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I found out where he keeps his notepad.
I'll bring it to you soon.
Okay.
Also, report to me about your sister, Bok Hee.
All right.
I'll go there tomorrow and will be back after a week.
A week?
Then what about my math competition?
You won't be able to take me there.
I guess so.
Other kids' moms take them there...
and wait until it's over to have dinner out.
I'll give Hyun Hee some pocket money,
so ask her to take you there on her scooter.
And when you finish, you can grab something nice to eat with her.
I told you I'd be going to the competition.
I could forget, you know.
Why would you get annoyed with me?
I'll go with you when you enter next time.
And don't pay for the karaoke and ramyeon in the internet cafe...
for your friends when I'm not around.
Enough with being the conglomerate's grandson.
We're not that rich anymore.
Still, we're the wealthiest in this neighborhood.
I'll make some side dishes, so make sure to have that.
Also, set the table for your grandparents too.
You should help what you can with laundry and washing the dishes.
All right?
But are you really going alone?
Yes.
How many times do I have to tell you that it's true?
You're going to travel alone?
Yes.
I guess you couldn't go anywhere on your own.
All right.
Travel as much as you want and enjoy it.
Oh, right.
Don't forget to take your medicine, Mom.
Go hang out at the restaurant when you're stressed out.
I'll be back soon.
I'll regain my energy there,
and next time, the whole family can go together.
Here.
You need some cash when you're going to travel.
It's fine. I've got some money.
It's all right. Go and eat delicious food...
and go shopping too.
- All right. I will. - Right.
Until how long will you not do anything?
I thought you'd do something...
if you got kicked out by Jung Young Sook like that.
When will you drag Chairman Ko down,
and how will you bring Jung Young Sook down?
When will you make Bok Hee and Si Kyung suffer?
I'm thinking about how I'd do it. So don't rush me.
What's taking you so long?
If only I wasn't stuck here, I would've done something earlier.
Hey, Sang Ah.
It hasn't been that long since you were released from prison.
Do you want to run about as you please and go back there?
Jung Woo, don't you want to get married?
Then you should do something about those jerks!
Pull yourself together!
If I think about them, I can't breathe.
Okay, then. Let's give them time until the end of this year.
Let's tear Bok Hee and Si Kyung apart by then...
and get married on Christmas. What do you think?
You like it, right?
You're here.
Hey.
Let's go.
See?
She's going with Mr. Jang.
It's a lie.
It seems Mom likes Mr. Jang more than us.
She even lied to us.
I'm so shocked.
I agree.
Bok Hee went on a trip?
Yes.
She left her mom with my mom,
taking Eun Ha for her test to me...
and went on a trip.
Si Kyung also took a few days off.
Then did she...
go with Director Jang?
For a few days?
They've gone crazy. So disgusting.
Find out where she went to.
Okay!
And don't forget to keep an eye on Yu Jung Woo.
Of course.
Take a picture of who he meets...
and what he's doing if you can.
Okay! I'm really confident doing that...
as I've been following around celebrities for a long time.
Then I'll get to work.
Why did you buy this?
I can bring it from home.
Still, I don't think you should use what you used before.
Does this not hurt?
It only stung when it first went in...
but it's okay now.
But...
why does the patient gown look so good on you?
Are you feeling okay?
Yes, I think I'm okay.
Did you hear about drug therapy?
I did.
I heard it,
but it was a little confusing as I've never heard it before.
You would've been confused.
Anyway, bear with it well.
Are you her guardian?
Pardon? Yes, I am.
I will explain the precautions to you later.
When the chemotherapy begins, please take extra care...
as it's important that she doesn't get infected.
Yes. That's why I got all the new equipment.
No.
You must absolutely not do this.
You can't share food either.
I'll leave now.
I think you like it more than me.
Honey.
How did you know that I registered for our marriage?
My father visited me.
He noticed it when he was filing paperwork for his marriage.
You didn't even register our marriage...
when we lived together. What are you up to?
It's obvious.
I know you too well.
It's because of money, right?
Did you get a loan?
What loan? I didn't!
As you're in prison,
I'm just trying hard to support you until you're released.
And I did it in case...
I lost determination of not ditching you.
Believe me!
Goodness!
I'm telling the truth!
Honey. Please withdraw it.
Isn't the charge too harsh for just registering our marriage?
I was really trying to support you...
as your legal wife.
I can't show you my true thoughts inside!
Even if you show me,
I can't even trust that.
I can't bear the sight of you!
I'm going to proceed with the annulment.
And I already have a lawyer, so be ready!
The antigen test is to see if the bone marrow matches,
but it does not match yours.
Where did you go?
I did a test just to be sure,
but my bone marrow does not match.
Thank you.
But if the drug therapy goes well,
maybe I won't need a transplant.
I hope so.
What is that?
I'm going to write a hospital journal.
It's my first time going through this anyway,
so I just want to keep a record of it.
Then upload this to your social media page.
There might be people who need it.
Really? Shall I do that?
Yes!
You may not be a poet, but you can write similarly...
and make your dream come true.
I just remembered...
that I dreamt...
of getting leukemia when I was little.
What?
The name is pretty like Snow White.
Born as a daughter of a conglomerate family...
that did nothing,
couldn't even go to school, and always looking down...
from the second-floor window with a pale face.
Then a kid like the prince of that neighborhood...
would always look up to the window and go to school.
I don't know if it's because I thought childishly,
but it came true in the end.
What happens next?
What?
There must be more to it.
Does it end just looking up?
When I die, the boy comes to my house,
and my mom, who is like a queen and is so kind...
and considerate to me, walks down the spiral staircase.
- She greets him by saying: - You're here.
"You're here."
She knows that he's the one I like.
Then he holds out a book of poems...
that I threw out of the window.
I picked this up.
"I picked this up."
Then my mom...
She probably wanted to give this to you.
You keep it.
She says this.
Then he cries his eyes out...
after reading it all...
as she wrote how much she liked him.
I thought leukemia...
was that kind of illness,
not what an older woman suffers from.
Write it again.
Rewrite the ending.
But she died.
Let's see.
You want to confess your feelings to the boy who you looked down...
from the second-floor window.
But you didn't know how to...
so you threw the book of poems and made a rumor that you died.
(My life is like a poem)
You knew that the boy who had no courage...
would bravely come back to find you.
The last page of the book states when and where to meet.
She's then fully recovered at the end.
You can walk to school together...
with the boy who had liked you in secret...
and hang out too.
Piece it together and write it again, all right?
You're a good storyteller too, Director Jang.
It's just that I don't do it.
But if I put my mind to it, I can be good.
I'm going to lose all my hair too.
What do I do?
I'll buy you a nice hat with hair on it.
There are things like that?
I'll make one if there isn't.
A wavy one and a straight one.
No, every type of hair that you'd like.
Oh, gosh.
You're pretty no matter what you do,
so don't worry about how you'd look.
By the way,
I forgot to bring my laptop from home.
I'll go over to my house real quick.
- Don't cry, okay? - All right.
Stop.
It's not done yet.
Then why would you eat it?
I was checking to see if it's done.
I want to check too.
Ms. Ko Sang Ah. Your medicine is here.
Leave it in front of the door.
But what are you doing inside?
I think I can smell meat.
You're not cooking inside the room, are you?
I'm getting changed.
All right. I'll leave it here.
Can't we have lobster next time?
We could if we cook it up simply.
Oh, it's done. Dig in.
Why that man.
He's not as easy as I thought.
What am I going to do?
My goodness.
Why are you feeling so low?
Bok Hee disappeared for her trip with Director Jang.
What? What's that about?
I just saw her go inside Director Jang's house.
They're going on a trip?
Really?
Move over. You can go to your room now.
This is great.
Mom,
you look totally okay.
Do you really have a fatal disease?
Everybody dies.
Also, there's got to be a disease or two I have.
Then that's a fatal disease.
So if people ask, tell them that I have a fatal disease. Okay?
Then will you stay in the hospital until the day you die?
Geez. I mean,
it's not all bad to live like this.
But you can't stay here forever,
so get prepared to study abroad.
What? Study abroad?
You were going to go someday. Think of it as going a bit earlier.
You will become independent at an early age.
Think of it as a business class where you find the answers.
That's how people like us all live.
Goodness.
Gosh.
You're a new face.
Yes, hello.
Your kids must still be young.
Yes.
I came to stay here for ten days.
But they won't let me go when it's been three months.
They said I still have cancer cells left.
For three months?
I'm lucky I'm alive since I can talk like this.
The one next to me didn't get to go home.
Goodness.
But since you're young, you'd be able to make it through.
Good luck with your treatment.
Okay.
What is it? Are you not feeling well?
It's not that.
Before I start the chemotherapy,
I should go see the kids.
Oh, right.
But wouldn't it be better to start your treatment quickly?
I wasn't going to tell them about the surgery, as my kids would worry.
But I'd better be honest with them.
Right, then let's ask a doctor about it.
What? Leukemia?
Yes. It's acute myeloid leukemia.
She is going to start her first-line therapy.
So they didn't go on a trip,
but Si Kyung went to look after her?
Yes. You see,
if she can't get a bone-marrow transplant,
she can't guarantee she'll live...
even if she's careful her whole life.
Then Director Jang will forever have to...
You may leave now.
Goodbye.
Leukemia, is it?
Then Si Kyung will cling to her even more.
That's got to be trouble.
Oh, my gosh.
The doctor said he'll delay the surgery by two days.
But no more than that.
That's a relief.
Mom, I won't splurge money or be a pushover from now.
I'm sorry I got annoyed.
I can go to the competition by myself.
Add that you're sorry.
Sorry, Mom.
But I didn't use up all my allowance.
I have a bit left.
I'll take the exam well.
So, Mom.
Have a good time with Mr. Jang.
I know you went with Mr. Jang.
l saw you in the morning.
Mom,
but you like...
us better than Mr. Jang a little more, right?
You don't only like Mr. Jang, right?
What is it?
Director Jang. I...
want to leave the hospital and go on a trip right away.
On a trip?
You don't want to strain your body.
Would you be okay?
It doesn't have to be somewhere far away and fancy.
I want to go to a pretty hotel in downtown Seoul.
A hotel. I see.
Sitting together and eating a meal made by someone else,
talking late into the night,
and seeing the night view through the window.
Things like that.
I...
want to try that with the kids.
Like a honeymoon together with the kids?
Oh, I see. With the kids.
Did you think I meant to go with you?
Sorry? No, I didn't.
That didn't even cross my mind.
Should we choose which room we'll be staying in?
Let's see.
How about this one?
It looks really good.
That's so pretty.
Breakfast is included too.
There must be a mini swimming pool.
Will you stay for a night?
Yes. For a night.
We need to talk.
