(Episode 113)
Hey, Yeong I.
What's going on with Mi Ri Nae?
They're running some tests on her.
What happened?
She's been catching colds nonstop.
She just had a mild fever earlier, but she suddenly fainted.
The doctor wanted to do a blood test first.
I don't know what's going on.
Kyung Jun.
I should go to the police station now.
You should stay here...
for Yeong I.
Yes, Kyung Jun.
I'll go with Director Jang.
Stay here. You must be worried about Mi Ri Nae.
Mi Ri Nae...
kept asking for you.
Thanks, Hae Mi.
(Emergency Medical Center)
I'm relieved.
I panicked.
I was so worried about you.
Why...
did you want to do something so foolish?
Are you all right?
I decided...
to change the way I think.
I thought I no longer had anyone around me,
but that was foolish.
I should think about...
the people who are still there for me and are waiting for me.
So I decided to pay for what I did...
and bravely...
live my life.
Yes. Of course, you should.
There is one right here.
I'm waiting for you too.
Come on. Let's go.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Has she not been eating well?
The moment she grabbed her spoon,
I could tell that she was weak.
As you heard, she has been getting colds often this winter.
She probably doesn't have much of an appetite.
Uncle Chang Yi, when will they get the results back?
Did you get the results back, doctor?
Yes.
My daughter will be fine, right? I bet it's just a cold.
We had to expedite the processing of her blood test.
Her neutrophil count is extremely high.
The normal range is between 2,000 and 7,000.
But in Mi Ri Nae's case, it's over 30,000.
In cases like this,
leukemia or blood cancer is suspected.
My gosh.
What do we do, Yeong I?
I'm sorry? Leukemia?
At the moment, it's just a speculation, right?
She should be admitted right away...
and be seen by our pediatric hematologist and oncologist...
while we run some additional tests.
We'll talk soon.
What do we do about Mi Ri Nae, Uncle Chang Yi?
Why is this happening to Mi Ri Nae?
I'm sure she'll be fine. They're just speculating now.
Yes.
They just want to run additional tests to find out more.
Let's not worry yet, okay?
And Mi Ri Nae has to stay here for a few more days.
As her mother, you must hold it together.
Pull yourself together.
He's absolutely right. You must stay strong for her to recover quickly.
Okay.
Uncle Chang Yi, Auntie Hwa Kyung. You two should go home.
I'll stay with Mi Ri Nae.
We can't leave you alone here.
I'll be fine.
Call us if anything happens.
We'll get going, then.
She's been sick a lot this winter.
I just thought she was getting frequent colds,
so I kept giving her cold medicine.
I should've suspected...
that something might be wrong with her.
I'm such an inattentive mother.
I knew nothing...
until she fainted.
She'll be fine.
Mi Ri Nae is a strong girl.
She'll wake up very soon and look for you,
so stay right by her side.
Thank you.
I need to go through the hospital admission process...
and move her to a ward.
You should get going, Kyung Jun.
Well...
I know I'm being selfish,
but can I please stay until she wakes up?
Se Jun.
I hope all goes well.
I'll see you again soon.
Thank you, Hae Mi.
Oh, I did some research...
and found hundreds of amazing restaurants in Seoul alone.
We've been doing nothing but work.
Let's check them out together.
We have to.
Okay.
Let's do that.
Se Jun!
(Criminal Investigation Division)
Let me see, my dear son.
You returned safe and sound.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I'll go in...
with you.
I will turn myself in too.
Do you really mean it?
My son's life is at stake.
How could I lie, knowing that?
Thinking that I might lose you...
I know I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if that happened.
The things I did...
under the pretense of protecting you...
actually ended up...
pushing you to the edge of the cliff.
I've only just realized it now.
I'm sorry...
it took me this long, son.
Mom.
All right. Let's go in.
Mom, thank you...
for making up your mind.
Thank you for calling me your mom again.
I'm truly grateful.
(Civil Affairs)
Let's go in.
Ms. An.
I failed in life.
Sure, I have accumulated some wealth,
but my family is falling apart due to my incompetence.
I am...
too ashamed to even step out of the house.
Everything feels so futile.
You are wrong, sir.
You raised Kyung Jun and Se Jun with love...
and taught them right.
I taught them right?
Thanks to you, they truly care for each other...
and would share everything they have...
even though they're not blood-related.
The two of them...
will protect the company and the family too, so don't worry.
Are you just trying to comfort me?
Or do you truly believe so?
I'm saying it to comfort you because I truly believe it.
It's getting late. You should get going.
Yes, sir.
Why are you still up?
I know it'd be hard to cope with everything if you were sober.
But you must keep a clear head...
to tie up all the loose ends.
You shouldn't be drinking now.
I'm sorry, Father.
We're in this mess now...
because I was a bad judge of character.
We can't undo what already happened.
Let's try to fix things.
I heard your wife and Se Jun turned themselves in.
Yoon Hee too?
She finally gave up when she realized...
that she could lose her child.
So it's all over now.
I suppose, deep in your heart,
you want to forgive her.
Honestly, I'm not sure.
We lived together for 30 years.
I know that Se Jun isn't my child,
but she is his mother.
As for what she did to Kyung Jun,
I can never forgive her for that.
But she worked so hard and was dedicated to the company's success.
We can't deny that.
When I think about her life, I do feel bad for her in a way.
My head tells me to sever all ties with her at once, but...
It's hard.
No matter what Se Jun has to do to pay for what he did,
you should be...
his shield again once he returns because he is your son,
but not her.
You must sever all ties with her.
I will never...
let her set foot in my house again.
Yes, I know.
I know that.
Oh, you're back. I just got home too.
Hey, where did you have to go all of a sudden?
Oh, the police station. Director Jang turned himself in.
What?
Honey, she must be losing her mind.
You went to the police station?
Why would you go there with him? What was Kyung Jun doing?
I saw him in the ER earlier.
I think he's waiting there because he's worried about Mi Ri Nae.
Even so, why should Hae Mi go there with Director Jang?
Well, I'm a loyal friend.
He and I have worked together for a long time.
I can't even do that for him?
So you're sure it was purely for loyalty's sake?
Well, for friendship's sake too.
You brat!
Well, they went out for drinks together a couple of times,
so it makes sense.
Oh, Dad. How's Mi Ri Nae?
She has to be hospitalized for additional tests.
The doctor said she might have leukemia.
What should we do?
What? Leukemia?
Dad, shouldn't we call Uncle Chang Il and Grandma?
Leave it to Yeong I.
She has moved out, you know. Let's not step in.
Honey.
Maybe Yeong I is staying with Chang Yi and his family.
Oh, maybe.
She must be there.
I mean, she has nowhere else to go.
Mother, don't you agree?
If she's there, I'll be relieved.
Then should I try calling Chang Yi now?
No, it's getting late. Let's call him in the morning.
Honey. You call him, okay?
This is your fault, so you should call him.
Why should Chang Il do it?
If she's there,
you should go there, apologize to her, and bring her home.
That's what you should do.
Okay.
Eun Jin, how did you know that the key was there?
Did Yeong I tell you?
Hey, it's all thanks to our 20-year friendship.
Anyway, where is Yeong I? She's not home yet.
She's not even picking up.
I guess she got this rooftop room...
because she didn't have enough money for the deposit.
She should've told me. I could've helped her get a nicer place.
This upsets me.
You know her. Had you offered money, she would've turned it down.
Anyway, she still has a lot of stuff left at our place.
Should I bring them here? Or will she come to get them?
You're excited, aren't you?
Now, you have the whole room to yourself.
No, it's not that. She needs her stuff.
Hey, why are you being mean to Do Young?
I don't know.
I hate everyone in the Kim family.
Are these for Yeong I?
Yes.
Don't say you want them.
Can I just try it once? Many of my friends use it too.
I want to see how hydrating it really is.
Sure, I'll be nice and let you try it.
I don't like that she has to use a physical key.
It's not safe.
I should install a keyless door lock for her.
Anyway, where is Yeong I? It's getting late.
She's still out with Mi Ri Nae?
Let me call her.
We didn't need a private room.
I wanted to do this for Mi Ri Nae.
Hi, Eun Ho.
Hey, Yeong I. Eun Jin and I are at your place now.
But you're still out.
Where are you?
If you're at a grocery store, I can pick you up.
Hold on.
I need to take this call.
Sure, don't worry.
(Guidelines for Visitors)
Hey, Yeong I. Are you...
with Kyung Jun now?
I think I just heard his voice.
Yes, I'm with him now.
- Why? - The thing is, Eun Ho...
Mi Ri Nae fainted.
We're at Evergreen University Hospital now.
What did you say?
You know Mi Ri Nae's been sick. I don't think it was a cold.
They did a blood test. They said her neutrophil count was too high.
They think she might have leukemia,
so they'll run additional tests on her.
I feel like it's all my fault.
I should've listened to you and got her tested when you told me to.
Let's not jump to conclusions now. Yeong I,
I'll come now. Wait for me.
Not today. It's getting late. You can come tomorrow.
Tell Eun Jin and Do Young...
not to tell the family.
I'll wait for Mi Ri Nae's diagnosis and tell them myself.
All right. I'll come by as early as I can tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
Mi Ri Nae, you woke up.
Mr. Jang, did you come to see me because you missed me?
Yes, I missed you.
I fell asleep earlier.
Why am I at the hospital?
Well...
You've been getting frequent colds,
so we brought you here to help you feel better quickly.
You can go home in a few days.
I want to go home soon.
I want to go sledding with you again,
draw with you, and go for another bike ride with you.
What's wrong?
I'm not supposed to say stuff like that.
It's okay. You can say it.
You can say anything you want.
You can't live with me and Mom anymore.
So if I keep pestering you, it'll make you sad too.
Mi Ri Nae!
Mom.
You must've been surprised to wake up in the hospital.
No. Mr. Jang explained everything to me.
I see.
She woke up, so you should get going.
It's getting late.
Okay. I'll be off, then.
Mom, can't he stay just a little longer?
I want to spend more time with him.
He has to work tomorrow. Say bye.
Bye, Mr. Jang.
Bye, Mi Ri Nae. I'm off.
Feel better soon.
I can't believe this.
Do Young, you'd better keep it to yourself.
Yes, I know.
Eun Ho. Mi Ri Nae will be okay, right?
I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and find out more.
What are you doing?
I thought you guys had a steak dinner without me,
but I guess I was wrong.
Did you guys go hiking or something?
Or did you guys have a kitty party without me?
Grow up, will you?
Because you act like a kid, no one wants to consult you...
or share secrets with you!
What's with her?
Eun Ho, Eun Jin!
Gosh.
Which way should I go?
Yes, I'll go that way.
I may be a fool, but I know that much.
Mr. Jang?
Mi Ri Nae.
If you're not in the room when Mom wakes up,
she'll panic and look for you.
Let's take a short walk and come back.
Okay. Mr. Jang.
Yes?
You're like Santa Claus.
Why?
When I pray that I want to see you,
you always show up with presents.
It makes me so happy.
Mi Ri Nae, seeing you...
makes you incredibly happy too.
Mi Ri Nae, you are like...
a precious gift to me.
Is Mom like a gift to you too?
Yes.
She was like...
a gift from the sky.
Come here.
Mi Ri Nae.
Where did she go?
The frozen shadow of the moon
Fills the waves
In the middle of the winter
A small forlorn island collects the wild waves
Think about the lighthouse keeper
And his
Sublime and beautiful
With love
It's good...
that you persuaded Se Jun to turn himself in.
They're still investigating the case, right?
Yes.
But as for Mother, there's the embezzlement case too,
so the prosecutors will take over soon.
Anyway, why did you come home so late last night?
Grandpa stayed up and waited for you.
I had to go somewhere.
The thing is...
Mi Ri Nae fainted. She's in the hospital at the moment.
What?
She's hospitalized? What's wrong with her?
They want to keep her there a few more days...
to run additional tests, so we'll find out soon.
Oh, dear.
No! I don't want to do it!
Mom, let's go home. Take me home!
No, Mi Ri Nae. We have to do this. Otherwise, we can't go home!
But it hurts.
I'm scared!
Mom, call Mr. Jang. Tell him to come here!
Why should we call Mr. Jang?
I don't want to do this.
Please don't draw my blood.
I'm scared. I'm really scared!
Ma'am, should we do this another time?
No, let's just do it now.
Mom! You're bad. I hate you!
Yes, Mom's a bad person.
Hate me all you want!
Let's get this done quickly.
