(Episode 67)
Dr. Jin!
Su Ji!
Are you okay?
What were you thinking about that you walked into the road...
without even noticing the light change?
You almost got into big trouble!
Where are you going?
Are you perhaps running away...
with all your stuff packed?
Then, how am I supposed to stay in that house any longer?
Why can't you stay? That's your house.
Your mom...
and I are there.
Dr. Chae!
Fine.
Then, you can leave when you must,
but talk to me first.
(The Courtyard House)
Hey, U Ri.
Did you meet her?
Okay.
I get it.
It's not easy to accept.
Still, if you just run away like this,
will that solve anything?
Do you know...
how much Mom missed you and searched for you all her life?
I wish I could tell you at least as much as I know.
But I'm holding back.
Those heart-wrenching years that Mom missed you...
can't be explained by anyone other than Mom.
But if you run away like this...
I'm not running away.
I can't forgive her.
She got into an accident?
What about after that?
Why didn't she look for me after that?
That's why I'm saying you should hear her out.
Why she didn't look for you,
why she couldn't look for you...
I don't want to do that.
I have no intention of listening to...
the excuses that come out of her mouth.
Still, will you just avoid her like this?
Even if I face her,
it's only obvious that we'll hate each other and fight,
spewing words of resentment and ill wishes.
Are you saying you want me to do that now?
You should if you must.
As you hate, resent, fume,
butt heads, and get hurt,
you should express...
all of your pent-up emotions...
like "I hate you," or "I feel angry."
In the end,
you want me to give her a chance?
A chance to be understood and forgiven?
I...
was adopted.
(Haedeul Foundation)
It's me, Hyun Sung's mom.
Okay, I understand.
I'll see you later.
Here. You were up.
Who did you talk to?
Hyun Sung?
It wasn't him.
Well, if he said he'd take responsibility,
shouldn't he have said something by now?
Why hasn't he been in touch lately?
Did his parents perhaps start to oppose your relationship...
because I caused a scene?
Should I go back and beg them?
Should I try to cling to them, saying I must've been crazy then,
and beg them for mercy?
Please don't do anything, Mom.
I'll deal with it myself, so please.
You've got some sort of plan, don't you?
You're confident, aren't you?
When I was five,
my birth mom died.
She had terminal stomach cancer.
My current mom and my birth mom...
were both patients at the same convalescent hospital.
After that,
I grew up in an orphanage.
Doo Ri was...
at the same orphanage too.
After Mom was discharged from the hospital,
she visited the orphanage to volunteer.
As she was taking care of us,
she adopted us...
when I was in middle school.
And Doo Ri too.
So?
Should I applaud her for all her efforts...
in raising someone else's kids after abandoning her own?
Should I show her respect or something?
Stop saying things you don't mean.
Why do you keep saying things you don't mean...
only to hurt yourself?
I'm rather envious of you...
just for the fact that your mom, whom you can hate and resent,
is alive.
Mom has lived...
her whole life...
treating me,
Doo Ri, and even A Ra as Soo Kyung.
As she worked in the restaurant by day...
and knitted by night,
she held Soo Kyung in her heart over and over again.
Every year on your birthday, she'd cook a birthday meal,
firmly believing that Soo Kyung was alive and happy...
somewhere in the world.
She's hung in there her whole life.
So,
please hear my mom out.
Listen to her true story,
not an excuse.
No.
Just in case...
I end up understanding and forgiving her,
I don't want to hear any more.
She may have been a good mom to you,
but to me,
she was a bad mom who left after abandoning me.
Right.
She could be a bad mom.
At least to you.
Anyway,
let's get up now.
I feel like...
I'm about to pass out from hunger right now.
After hearing you had taken the afternoon off and left,
I ran after you and even skipped lunch.
Hurry up.
Go ahead and go home.
I'll go home on my own...
once I sort out my thoughts.
Aren't you being too harsh...
to your life savior?
Have you already forgotten?
If it hadn't been for me, you and the motorcycle would have...
Gosh, how awful.
There's a good noodle restaurant nearby.
Let's go there.
After we eat, we'll go to that arcade we went to last time...
to throw some punches and catch some moles.
Oh, let's go to coin karaoke too.
Being stressed out makes me want to yell.
After doing all that, it will be the middle of the night.
What are you doing right now?
If it's hard to look Mom in the eyes just now,
you should have fun with me and go home late.
Get up now.
We have so much to do.
- Let's go. - But...
Hang on.
(The Courtyard House)
Gosh...
What?
What brings you here again?
Oh, right. I wanted to see my daughter.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
Hey, A Ra. You should go inside first.
Okay, Dad.
I want to show Mom the paper airplane...
I made at kindergarten today.
All right.
Dr. Jin isn't home right now.
What is this about?
Oh, well, there's something I must tell her,
but she isn't answering her phone.
The hospital said she went home early.
Sun Young's current husband is much younger than her.
Well, excuse me, but...
What's your relationship with Su Ji's mom?
And why would you need to know that?
Oh, well, I was just asking.
We're family.
Does that answer your question?
Oh, you're family.
I see. All right, then.
What's his problem?
Are you saying U Ri is coming home with Soo Kyung?
I'm not sure if Soo Kyung will change her mind.
He said he'd try to persuade her.
It won't be easy.
She packed her things and left.
What should we do, then?
Why won't she listen to you?
She should at least read your diary.
Right now, it's hard for her to even see my face.
I should just wait and see.
Why don't you just ask her father to tell her everything?
If she finds out what they did...
and how you ended up becoming estranged from your daughter...
Actually, he was here earlier.
Who? Soo Kyung's father?
Why does he keep coming here?
He said he had to talk to Soo Kyung but couldn't reach her.
Maybe he and his family also know...
that Soo Kyung has found out about it.
Goodness. I guess he has a conscience after all.
Whose fault is it that we're in this mess now?
Strictly speaking,
it's all that jerk's fault. Am I wrong?
Let's just give them permission...
to get married.
My opinion doesn't even count anyway, right?
Are you going to keep giving me this attitude?
I am his father,
but you won't even respect my opinion,
so why should I bother telling you what I think?
Don't waste your time asking for my agreement.
Just do whatever you want.
Honey.
I thought we were getting a divorce.
You fell ill,
and this thing with Hyun Sung suddenly happened,
so we had to put it on hold. That's all.
As you wish, we'll let Hyun Sung marry her.
Then the two of us shall tie up loose ends.
What happened to Hyun Woo was awful.
I don't want to lose Hyun Sung's child like that.
So I'm telling you to do whatever you want.
But how could I do that?
Hyun Sung is your son.
Even if you can't give him your blessings,
I want him to get married knowing his father isn't against it.
Come home early today.
I invited them over.
Is it true that you cut off all contact with Hyun Sung...
because you had made up your mind to break it off?
Yes.
He suspected that the baby might not be his,
so he does not deserve to be called a father.
Of course, I'm aware that it's partially my fault...
for causing him to be suspicious.
But when I heard him say that,
I just couldn't forgive him.
I can completely understand...
how that must've made you feel.
You see, I was confused too,
wondering...
what could be the real you.
I understand.
A number of coincidences had piled up.
What can I do to make you trust me?
Trust isn't something you can earn in a few moments.
You can prove it to me...
while staying by my side for years to come.
Pardon me?
I'm saying...
I'll never give up...
on Hyun Sung's child.
Would you like to take a look at this?
I already have a nickname for the baby, Little Bean.
When we first met the baby through the sonogram,
it really was tiny like a little bean.
The tiny baby was producing such strong heartbeats.
I really couldn't believe it.
Once the baby is born,
I want you to name my baby, Mother.
(Director Han Jin Tae)
Have you thought of the pain Hyun Sung would have to live with?
The anger, frustration, and despair he'd feel...
while raising someone else's child!
So, that's what this is about for you?
The anger, pain, and despair you've felt...
while raising someone else's child?
- Honey. - Is that why you did that?
Because he wasn't your own son.
Is that why you did that...
to Hyun Woo?
What happened to Hyun Woo was awful.
I don't want to lose Hyun Sung's child like that.
You have your father's permission...
to get married as well.
Right, honey?
Father, do you really mean it?
Do we really have your permission to get married?
Isn't it already decided regardless of my opinion?
I won't waste my time expressing my opinion...
when it's already decided.
Just keep that in mind.
Father.
Are you going to keep treating us like this?
All right, then.
We'll take your silence as a yes.
From now on,
don't worry about anything.
Just focus on the baby.
Your risk of early miscarriage is still quite high,
so try to relax and rest your body and mind.
I will, Mother.
If you're done talking, please excuse me.
I'm not done yet.
We should also discuss the wedding date and the whole process.
Then you don't need me here.
I trust that you guys will decide wisely.
Father.
I'll do my best.
I won't let you down as your daughter-in-law.
Wait and see.
(The Courtyard House)
Everyone must be asleep.
You should go to bed too.
Yes, you too.
Oh, wait. Don't you feel like snacking?
You had your noodles just three hours ago. A double portion at that.
Why am I hungry all of a sudden?
Did I yell too much at the karaoke lounge?
Or did I whack those moles too enthusiastically?
Why don't we go to the restaurant?
I make mean kimchi fried rice.
I'm really fine now.
Go inside and get some rest.
All right, then.
I'll rest up.
I hope you sleep well too.
Don't worry.
She went into her room just now.
Really?
Leave her alone. Give her a little more time.
I don't think...
you'll have to wait too long.
The fact that she came back...
means she's now a little more open to the idea of accepting you.
So wait until she opens up to you of her own accord, Mom.
Wait just a little longer.
Yes, I understand what you're trying to tell me.
Thank you, son.
I'm heading upstairs. Good night.
Good night.
What are you doing?
I just lay down to sleep.
But why does your voice sound so listless?
Are you sick?
It's just that I'm worried about some stuff.
Worried about what?
Can I help with anything?
Well...
There are two people I like.
Because of such long-held misunderstandings and resentment,
they refuse to listen to the other's story.
Wouldn't there be a good way to get the two to make up?
Well, how about...
you just let them hash it all out?
My mom and I also don't get along very well.
They fight every day.
But being stuck in a small house together,
they made up as if it never happened.
You should get them to fight first.
That way, they can make up properly too.
Get them to fight?
Well, it does make sense,
but the situation is rather different from that.
Anyway,
I posted the video of you performing on the street.
I'm sure the response will be no joke by tomorrow.
Gosh, I'm not getting my hopes up.
I was really hurt because of the Bibi Roll video last time.
I'm sure I'll just get a ton of mean comments again.
What? Don't you think you don't know yourself very well?
Do Young, you really do have talent.
Why don't you trust yourself a bit?
Hey, Doo Ri.
Do you think...
I was the savior of the nation in my past life?
What?
Do you think I could've been General Ondal in my past life,
and you were Princess Pyeonggang?
What are you saying? Just check the video, okay?
Don't let them avoid each other and get them to fight in earnest?
(Bibi Roll)
(I, I, Iced Americano)
Am I that handsome?
What's with this camera angle?
She must be totally into me.
Our firstborn grandson. Did you get a girlfriend?
What?
How did you know, Grandma?
You could tell?
What kind of lady is she?
She's a total angel.
She's pretty and nice.
But she's so scary when she gets mad.
I tremble in fear.
What?
How dare anyone scare my firstborn grandson?
No, that's not what I mean.
She's scary in a cute way.
And she's thrifty, brave, and passionate.
She's a good singer and dancer too.
Goodness, you might be up all night singing your girlfriend's praises.
Bring her by sometime.
I'll cook her some good food.
Really?
She did come over one time...
Your girlfriend was here?
When I was sick last time, she brought me medicine.
But why did you come outside in the middle of the night?
Oh, I had to use the bathroom.
What's this?
She should've just told me that she liked me.
I'm rather envious of you...
just for the fact that your mom, whom you can hate and resent,
is alive.

(Proof of Hospital Admittance and Discharge)
(Surgery Records, Chae Sun Young)
(Compound fracture of the hip)
I was told I woke up after three months.
I have to go to Soo Kyung.
My Soo Kyung is waiting.
During the time I was unconscious,
Soo Kyung must've waited for me so much.
I will finally get discharged next month.
I can finally go and meet Soo Kyung.
Soo Kyung, you waited for a long time, didn't you?
Mom will be there soon.
A mother is strong.
I am strong.
I went to meet you while walking on crutches.
(June 7)
I saw you through the open front gate.
(I saw you through the open front gate.)
I saw you as you were close enough that...
I felt like I could touch you...
if I just reached out my hand.
(The Courtyard House)
Soo Kyung.
Did you come?
Did you come to find me after you were discharged?
Yes, I went to see you.
You were playing hide-and-seek with your siblings at the time.
Then, why didn't you take me with you?
You were there, so why didn't you?
I met your stepmom in front of the front gate.
She said you thought I was dead...
and that I shouldn't give you a shock.
I thought you were dead?
I was fooled by that lie.
In case you were shocked if I showed up...
when you thought I was dead,
she told me to come back in half a month, and I believed her.
What did you say?
When I went back in half a month,
it was after your whole family had already left.
Do you call that an excuse?
If you were really my mom,
you should've taken me with you, no matter what anyone said.
I waited for you so desperately...
right until the night before we left the country.
Will you take this with you all the way to America?
Give me that.
Give it here.
But you fell for that mere lie...
and let me slip away?
You abandoned me forever just like that?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I was too foolish.
Stop. You're the worst.
How could you fall for such a lie...
when your daughter was right before your eyes?
How?
If only you had taken me with you that day...
If only...
Soo Kyung.
No.
Soo Kyung. Breathe!
(Su Ji and U Ri)
Now that I've found out about everything,
I can't hold it in any longer.
I can't understand it either.
Let's talk for a minute.
I'm sorry, Su Ji.
I'm getting married.
My life... My mom's life has become such a mess!
How could I forgive you?
So, what will you do if you don't forgive me?
Ms. Jang Yoon Ja!
