(Episode 117)
Dae Ro.
Chan Sung.
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about?
Actually,
my liver cancer came back.
Are you sure?
Did you get it checked?
I don't believe it. Let's go to the hospital together.
There's no need.
I went to two different hospitals and got diagnosed.
They can't do anything about it as it's in the terminal stages.
Since you've mentioned it,
I think I should go back to the mountains.
What?
You're going back to the mountains in your condition?
You can't, Dad.
I can't let you leave by yourself.
Soon, I won't be able to move nor conscious.
I don't want to let you see me in that state.
Especially to Byeo Ri. How could let her see that?
That child...
would be so shocked.
You can't.
I can't let you go by yourself.
It hasn't been that long since we've all lived together.
Dad.
Dae Ro.
Dad.
My gosh, why are you crying?
Goodness me.
Are you sad that she's leaving?
I told you not to go. Why won't you listen to me?
Goodness, people would think this is a funeral.
Stop crying.
I'll be all right back in my hometown.
I hope you are well too.
Also, old man.
You should stay in your right mind...
and live well and healthy.
So you can see your granddaughter get married.
Why would you say it as if we'll never see each other?
- Are you not going to come back? - No.
I won't ever come back.
You're so harsh.
Are you trying to turn me off?
Yes, I'm doing to turn you off.
So don't ever look for me anymore.
Farewell.
Hey, wait.
Don't be like that. Come and see us again.
Stop it now.
Geez, you're so clingy.
You need to never turn back when saying goodbye.
Bye.
- Wait. - Let go of me!
I said, goodbye!
It's been a while since I haven't seen my mom.
I don't think I deserve to take her ashes.
It was her last wish...
to see her son even at death.
She lived longing to see you all her life.
So that's why I brought her here.
Your mom's life has been tough.
There's a letter she left for you.
How you feel...
about your mother is none of my business,
but she's still your mother who gave birth to you.
Take good care of her.
All right.
You're here. Did you pass on the ashes to Director Shin?
I did.
That's that. Ji Ran.
I was too embarrassed to mention this at the airport.
Have you been going back and forth from Jae Soo's house?
Mom.
I filed for divorce with Won Tae.
Are you insisting you'll go to Jae Soo...
after getting divorced from Won Tae?
Yes.
What have you been doing until things became this bad?
I told you to make sure Ji Ran doesn't bring up divorce, didn't I?
Mother, you don't need to worry.
Didn't you hear what she said?
How can I be calm?
Jae Soo doesn't have much time left to live anyway.
What?
What in the world are you saying? He's perfectly fine.
Who told you he's fine?
I heard he has terminal liver cancer.
Don't be ridiculous!
Now you're making up stories to badmouth him.
What do you think you're doing?
Are you sure about that?
Yes.
I met Jae Soo not long ago.
I was teaching him a lesson, so he'd make Ji Ran cancel the divorce.
Bo Ra stopped me and told me when we went somewhere else.
She must be mistaken.
Or she could've lied as you made things hard for Jae Soo.
Why would Bo Ra lie about such a thing?
I know you don't want to believe that.
Jae Soo won't die.
Ji Ran! Where are you going?
Dad.
Why don't we see another doctor with me?
I got checked out by the best specialist of liver cancer.
But he said there's no hope.
- I can't give up like this. - Dae Ro.
I have no time to waste.
I have to go to the theme park with Byeo Ri tomorrow,
and I want to make good memories with you guys.
If you insist on leaving,
let me go with you.
What are you going to do by yourself in the woods when you're sick?
Don't say that.
You're busy with the franchise business in the US.
How could you be absent from work at a time like this?
- That's not important right now! - After I leave,
Byeo Ri would be so sad by herself.
You need to stay by her side and look after her.
Dad.
Still...
Jae Soo.
Ji Ran, what brings you here out of the blue?
Won Tae said something weird, so I came.
Your liver cancer didn't recur, right?
Dae Ro, please give us some space.
I'd like to talk to her.
Okay.
Tell me it's wrong.
You're fine, right?
Ji Ran.
My illness came back.
How could this happen?
You've just recovered your identity and started living as Han Jae Soo.
Why would such a terrible disease come back?
I wish this everything is a lie too.
I thought I could finally be a dad to Byeo Ri and Dae Ro.
I wanted to live happily like other families.
Ji Ran.
I think I'd have to leave soon.
What do you mean?
Where are you going without me?
Dear Ji Ran.
Don't cry.
Is this why you refused me...
when I said I want to raise Byeo Ri while living with you?
The stomachache you had was because you were ill?
Ji Ran.
I'm really sorry.
Don't be.
There is a miracle in this world.
Jae Soo.
You survived after getting diagnosed with liver cancer in the past.
We might see a miracle once again.
So, Jae Soo,
stay strong.
I hope so too, Ji Ran.
You poor thing.
What are we going to do?
My sweet Ji Ran.
Jae Soo...
Jae Soo.
Yes, Bo Ra.
Byeo Ri and Mr. Han are going to a theme park tomorrow.
Why don't we go there with them?
Sure. Let's go with them.
But what's wrong with your voice?
Are you crying?
Bo Ra.
My dad's...
liver cancer recurred.
So you found out.
Actually, I found out not long ago.
You must be heartbroken.
Dad...
is going to get things organized and go to the mountains.
I can't let him go like this, Bo Ra.
Where are you? I'll go over.
What are all these?
Can't you see?
I packed some lunch for you.
It's a spring picnic set that our company launched.
Why don't you give me feedback after trying them?
How could the CEO have so much free time?
You came in the morning and lunch.
What are you talking about? I'm working.
I need you to try and review it. Customer feedback is very important.
Ma'am, please try it and tell me what you think.
I'll eat it as I'm hungry,
but don't come here whenever you please.
Did you forget that we promised to date for a week?
We can see each other once a day.
What do you mean once when ten times isn't enough?
Then I'll give in.
Three times?
Geez.
Why won't you eat it? I thought you're hungry.
Don't you feel like eating?
I'm hungry, but I don't have an appetite.
Is it because of Byeo Ri's dad?
I got Byeo Ri tickets to the theme park...
as she wanted to go with her dad.
But I'm worried if Mr. Han's going to be all right.
So I asked Bo Ra to go with them with Dae Ro.
Maybe because I lived with her,
she doesn't feel like a stranger to me.
If her dad leaves,
are you going to let Mr. Kang take care of her?
I'll have to look after her.
She's my sister. I should raise her.
Right. She's really attached to you now.
I think it'd be better for you to take care of her than Dae Ro.
But would your dad allow that?
Even if he doesn't, there's nothing I can do.
I'm her only family now.
I'm going to move out and live with her.
Oh, well...
Byeo Ri's room is still available in my house.
Your bed and dressing table are still there.
I didn't get rid of them.
Why didn't you get rid of them?
Why would I? It's yours.
Then...
keep them safe until I move out.
That's not what I mean.
My lunchtime is over.
I better go.
Hae Shim, I'm here.
What brings you here?
It's not like I'm not allowed here.
I have something to ask you.
I'm in a hurry.
Where are you going? Are you going on a delivery?
Then I'll wait here.
I'm not going on a delivery.
I have to close the shop, so leave.
How could you kick me out as soon as I come?
Aren't you going to give me a cup of tea?
I have no time to chit-chat with you.
Hurry up and come out.
All right.
To my only son, Joong Han.
I left you.
I have nothing to say for myself,
but I would like to ask...
for your forgiveness.
I have no right to call myself a mother,
but I haven't spent a day without thinking of you.
I prayed for you every day.
Even on the other side,
I'll be looking down on you...
to see you live happily.
Honey.
Our family has lived without much trouble...
all thanks to your mother's prayers.
I couldn't understand why my mother left me...
all this time.
I thought I would never forgive her.
From your side, it's understandable.
When I got the call from the US saying that she was getting surgery,
I should have gone to see her.
Saying goodbye without even seeing her...
makes me very regretful...
just like you said.
Honey.
She said she'd be watching.
So let's show her how well we're doing from now on.
I know this is a bad time,
but there's something you need to know.
It's about Byeo Ri's father, Han Jae Soo.
His liver cancer came back.
What?
The doctor said he has no chance.
They told him to prepare himself.
Dae Ro, is Mr. Han really leaving to go to the mountains?
Yes.
I said I'd come with him,
but he said no.
He said we shouldn't leave Byeo Ri on her own.
He's right about that.
Someone needs to take care of him.
Shouldn't you talk to him...
and convince him to stay with his family?
Yes.
We can't say goodbye like this.
There were so many things I wanted to do for him.
Don't cry, Dae Ro.
I relied on him so much...
after seeing him again.
I hate...
that there's nothing...
I can do for him, Bo Ra.
Don't cry, Dae Ro.
Mr. Lee, have some fruit.
Gosh.
Why did you drop that? You're so clumsy.
Do you have hand tremors?
Why are you so upset, Mr. Lee?
What's with Eok Shim?
Why is she so cold?
I begged her not to go, but she just left.
She said she's not even coming to hang out with us!
She must be busy in the countryside.
I think there must be an old man she's taken a liking to.
You might be right.
Whoever he is, he's going to have a hard time...
trying to live up to her standards.
Honey, I'm back.
What's going on?
I just said hello. Why aren't you greeting me back?
I'm not in the mood to talk.
Why? Did something happen?
I thought you'd be having fun after going on a strike.
Did you fight with someone?
It's not like that. I'm done with everything.
I don't need a husband, a son, or my friends.
Everyone treats me like an outcast.
I'm all on my own.
You were so happy that you could take a break now.
Do ridiculous thoughts spring up as you have loads of free time?
If you're going to be like this, just prepare dinner.
No! It's all useless.
Why would I eat when my life is in vain?
Are you crying right now?
What's wrong with you?
Are you depressed again?
I don't know. I just keep crying.
I went to see Hae Shim, and she ignored me.
I asked her for a cup of tea,
and she said she didn't have time for me and told me to leave.
- What? - You and Jun Soo said...
that the food you ordered is much better than what I made.
I'm the most useless person in the world now.
I'm done.
Wait...
What's gotten into her?
Is her depression really back?
Aunt, you're back.
So, did you go to check if Jae Soo is really dying?
I told you. He's dying.
Won Tae, this is all your fault!
You kept harassing him. That's why that terrible illness came back!
You're going to pay for this!
What are you talking about?
What did I do to Han Jae Soo?
- I didn't do anything! - Don't kid yourself!
You kidnapped and locked up Jae Soo using Ma Chung Goo.
You even beat up and blackmailed him.
How dare you play innocent!
I'm going to prove you did all that somehow. I promise you!
Ji Ran. How dare you make a fuss?
What? Am I wrong?
You know all about his slush funds.
He hired Ma Chung Goo with that money...
and did all those things to Jae Soo. I'm sure of it!
I said, enough!
You shouldn't be like this either.
You're partly to blame for Jae Soo's illness.
You dragged him off the stage when he didn't do anything wrong.
You threatened him saying you'll get him if he sees me again!
How could you say that to your own mother?
How dare you yell?
I'm going to divorce you, no matter what.
And I'm going to watch you get punished for your crimes.
So, Mom,
give me the records for his slush funds.
What? What are you...
Ji Ran, be quiet!
You said so yourself.
How could you leave the wolf to guard the sheep?
You said that you'd kick him out...
when you found proof that he made slush funds!
Did you really say this?
Answer me!
Did you say that?
What?
Did I say something wrong?
You told me to get rid of Han Jae Soo.
That's what I used the slush funds for!
Why are you blaming me for this?
What?
Don't make excuses!
You're the one who toyed with company funds in the first place.
Calm down, Grandma.
Let me make this clear.
I'm not going down alone.
What are you going to do, then?
Grandma, please calm down.
My gosh. Mr. Han, hello.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
I have something to tell you.
Honey.
Go inside.
Okay.
You can talk in the flower shop.
What is it?
I'm leaving soon.
Give Bo Ra and Dae Ro your blessing.
Why would they need my blessing now?
They're already seeing each other.
It's my last wish.
I don't want Dae Ro to suffer because he's my son.
My liver cancer is back.
I'm dying soon.
Do you think I believe what you say?
You fooled me so many times.
I thought you were dead and let your daughter Byeo Ri into my home.
You dressed up as an old lady...
and met with my family behind my back.
That's not all.
Even after recovering your identity as Han Jae Soo,
you said you'd go far away,
but you're living in my father-in-law's house!
And now, what?
You're dying?
Do you think I'd care that you're dying?
I'm going back to the mountains.
You won't ever see me again, so don't worry about that.
So give Dae Ro and Bo Ra...
your blessing.
You can't tell me to do things!
Don't get cocky with me just because you're dying.
So what?
I'm dying soon. What do I have to be afraid of?
Joong Han, is this what you're worth?
How long are you going to hurt people because of your past?
You jerk!
Whose fault is it that I'm like this?
What is it?
Han Jae Soo!
Hey! What's wrong?
Han Jae Soo!
(No Matter What)
- Dad! - Live and take care of your kids.
I hope there are lots of things Dad has to smile about.
Let's give him something to smile about.
Did you not think of me once?
Maybe a little.
I want to be the first person you think about...
when you open your eyes.
