(Episode 120)
We'll begin the collection now.
Yes.
Relax your arm.
We'll begin.
Hey, Yeong I.
Yeong I.
You're here.
Aren't you supposed to be at work?
I heard the surgery would be today, so I requested a day off in advance.
I heard Mi Ri Nae's surgery had been moved up.
Yes. Mi Ri Nae's condition worsened a little bit.
But fortunately, the donor was hospitalized...
and ready for surgery.
So they could begin the surgery without waiting for long.
You didn't have to come before the surgery ended. Thank you.
I'm so relieved.
I was so worried that the same thing as last time would happen...
that I couldn't just stay at home.
I wanted to see Mi Ri Nae before the surgery.
Oh, right. You don't know who the donor is, do you?
I hope the donor is healthy...
so that Mi Ri Nae can receive healthy bone marrow...
and fully recover soon.
Goodness, you.
Of course, the donor is healthy. And we should be thankful.
Where are Mom and Chang Il's family?
The schedule changed suddenly, so they haven't come yet.
I just let them know.
Hae Mi, go and have breakfast with Yeong I.
I'm sure you were so out of it that you didn't eat anything.
Oh, he's right.
You'll be even busier when she's back after the surgery.
We'll stay here. So go on.
I'm really fine.
Don't be like that and go with me.
You need energy to look after her.
Right.
Go on now.
You skipped your breakfast.
You've been pacing around for hours. I'm worried.
I didn't know it had been so long.
Well... Sir.
By any chance, is something going on with Kyung Jun?
I mean, he hasn't come home for a few days,
and you seem so agitated.
Well... I needed him to take care of something very important,
so I sent him to some place.
Anyway...
I don't know why I'm feeling so troubled.
I don't know what's going on,
but you haven't fully recovered yet.
You need to rest.
If you can't eat much, I'll make you some pine nut porridge, at least.
Sir, please step away. I'll clean that up.
I...
I think I should step out briefly.
Can you call Soo Wan for me?
Yes, sir.
Yes, Dad.
Where are you now?
I'm at work.
Come to the hospital right now. I'll meet you there.
Are you going there to see Kyung Jun?
He made the decision as he wanted against my wishes.
Why should I go to see him?
I'm not going.
Just meet me there as I said.
Is everything all right?
It's just that...
I can't stop worrying about him.
I want to go and see him with my own eyes.
I hope...
I'm worried for nothing.
(Kyung Jun. Mi Ri Nae just left for the surgery.)
I said I would treat you to a hearty meal.
Are you sure this will be enough?
I'm too worried to get out of the hospital.
Is Director Jang doing well?
I know that you two are close.
I'm quick-witted, you know.
Well...
It would be weird if I said he was doing well.
But he does seem more relaxed than he did before.
Ever since he decided to pay for his wrongdoing,
he looks like someone who escaped the purgatory, I would say.
Oh, right. He asked me how you and Mi Ri Nae were doing.
Tell him...
that Mi Ri Nae and I are doing great.
I don't want to make him worry when he's locked up.
Okay. I'll do that.
Ward 62, CPR needed.
That's where Mi Ri Nae is undergoing the surgery.
Oh, my. Really?
Hae Mi, I should go.
Right. My goodness.
Hey, you're back. What was the announcement about?
It wasn't about Mi Ri Nae, right?
No. I was worried too, so I asked the nurse.
They just finished collecting bone marrow from the donor...
and will start operating on Mi Ri Nae shortly.
Mi Ri Nae is fine.
Thank goodness.
I've only heard such an announcement in dramas.
It was my first time actually hearing it in a hospital.
I'm starting to feel scared.
Did you even finish your meal?
I can eat something later.
Could it be Kyung Jun?
No. That can't be.
I'm going to the restroom.
Okay.
(Operating Room)
Ms. Kim.
Oh, my. Hae Mi, what brings you here?
Oh, hello.
Ms. Kim, did you know about Kyung Jun's surgery too?
Yes. When he got the call from the hospital,
I was with him.
He asked me not to tell Yeong I's family...
that he was the donor.
So no one in her family knows.
Oh, I see.
Are you Mr. Jang Kyung Jun's family?
Yes, he's my son.
How did it go? He's fine, isn't he?
The anesthesia we gave him for the bone marrow collection...
caused allergic shock.
He even went into cardiac arrest.
What?
Oh, no, sir.
So how is he now?
Has he woken up?
His heartbeat went back to normal,
but he's still unconscious. We'll move him to the ICU.
I knew it.
He should've listened to me and stayed out of it.
Can you tell us when he will regain his consciousness?
Considering his current condition, I can't tell you anything for sure.
We'll have to watch the progress.
Now then...
Eun Jin.
How come you all came together?
We met out front. You'll go to the hospital, right?
Of course, I should go.
I got an order for a large group,
and the cafe was full of customers, so I couldn't go earlier.
Is Mi Ri Nae still in surgery?
I just talked to Yeong I. She'll be out soon.
I see. Where are the elders?
They left earlier without us.
Done. Let's get going.
What's wrong?
Does your stomach hurt?
Did the babies move?
Yes. They must be so energetic.
They kick several times a day.
Maybe they'll become taekwondo players like Yeong I.
Eun Jin, do you mind if I touch your belly?
Hey, even I haven't tried that yet. You're their aunt. How dare you?
Should I touch it now? Right now?
(Cafe Pareut)
Oh, touch it right now.
Oh, my. They're moving. I can feel it.
Let me try it too.
Hoppy and Binky, I'm your aunt.
They're really moving.
I think they're dancing.
This is so amazing. I feel like I'm about to cry.
Let's hurry up. We're running late.
(Evergreen University Hospital)
She opened her eyes.
Mi Ri Nae, Grandma is here. Are you feeling okay?
My sweet pumpkin. She's been saved. She'll be fine.
Yes, Mom. She'll be all right now.
- Mom. - She's been saved.
Mi Ri Nae.
My dear daughter, you did a great job.
Thank you for staying brave enough to get through it.
Where's Mr. Kyung Jun?
Didn't Mr. Kyung Jun come?
Hey, didn't you call him?
I let him know. I think he's busy.
He'll be here when he hears the news.
Let's wait for a little while, okay?
I'm surprised that she asked for him as soon as she woke up.
I feel sorry for her. If she knows she can't see him anymore...
Chang Il and Mom.
Now that Mi Ri Nae woke up, we'll get going.
Yeong I needs to rest too.
Mi Ri Nae, I'll see you at your house next time.
Mi Ri Nae, get well soon and go home.
I'll make delicious spaghetti for you again.
By the way, where did Hae Mi go?
I guess something came up. She's not a little child.
We'll be off, Mother. See you later.
- Bye, Chang Yi. - Go home safely.
- Bye, Hwa Kyung. - Bye.
What a relief. Right, honey?
Yes. I'm so relieved.
Ta-da.
- Mi Ri Nae, congratulations. - Oh, my.
- Hi, Mi Ri Nae. - Congratulations, Mi Ri Nae.
My goodness. What's all this?
Come on. Since Mi Ri Nae's surgery went well,
we should celebrate it properly, Grandma.
Oh, okay.
Mi Ri Nae, blow it out.
How about you blow it out with your mom?
Right, Mom. Let's do it together.
Shall we?
Good girl.
- Here you go, Mi Ri Nae. - Congratulations.
Oh, my. Mi Ri Nae, you must be happy.
So many people including your uncle and aunt came to congratulate you.
Shall I take a photo of you?
Yes, please. I'm going to send it to Mr. Kyung Jun.
I'll tell him I underwent the surgery and am fine now.
Please take a photo of me now, Grandpa.
Oh, okay. Of course. Just a moment.
I'll take a photo of you. Mi Ri Nae, look here.
In 1, 2, 3.
What did I tell you? I said we should stop him, Dad.
What would you do if Kyung Jun never wakes up?
Yes, Mom.
Hae Mi, where are you?
Dad and I are going home now.
Well... I have something to take care of.
How's Mi Ri Nae? Did the surgery go well?
We saw her coming back to her room and waking up before leaving.
By the way, I was surprised.
That little kid asked for Kyung Jun as soon as she woke up.
The two of them must have gotten deeply attached to each other.
Kyung Jun...
should go see her too.
I'm sure he'll visit her.
Oh, right. Mom, go home without me. I'll go home soon too.
Okay. Bye.
I guess you heard about Mi Ri Nae.
Yes. That her surgery went well, and she just woke up.
That's a relief.
That's such great news.
How can you be worried about Mi Ri Nae right now?
Her family must be relieved, but we might lose our eldest son.
Kyung Jun, that brat. How foolish.
No one could change his mind.
You know that too.
Even so.
Even so, I resent the skies.
No. I regret I stopped trying to change his mind.
I resent myself more than anyone else.
When he got the cornea transplant,
he endured and survived the surgery.
I'm sure he'll survive this time as well.
I have faith in Kyung Jun.
Hae Mi, you should go now.
As for Yeong I,
just as Kyung Jun asked,
keep this a secret from her.
Sure.
Then I'll get going now.
Mi Ri Nae, what are you doing?
I called Mr. Kyung Jun, but he didn't pick up.
Mom, why hasn't he come yet?
Tell him to come see me now. I want to see him.
He must be very busy. He has a job, you know.
Wait just a little longer, okay?
I thought you had left.
Your family left a while ago.
I wanted to say goodbye to you before leaving.
I also wanted to see Mi Ri Nae.
Pretty Auntie, I want to see Mr. Kyung Jun.
Why hasn't he come yet?
He'll come to see you soon.
Yeong I, can I talk to you briefly?
(Visitor Guidelines)
Is something going on with you?
You seem worried.
Yeong I.
Well... The thing is...
Kyung Jun asked me not to tell you this.
But Mi Ri Nae keeps asking for him.
And I think you may be the one...
that Kyung Jun needs the most right now.
What do you mean by that? Did something happen to him?
I was worried because I couldn't reach him.
Actually, Kyung Jun...
is in the ICU now.
Why is he in the ICU?
Did he get into an accident? Or...
Or has his eye condition worsened again?
Why is he in the ICU?
The donor who donated the bone marrow to Mi Ri Nae...
was Kyung Jun.
He went into shock caused by anesthesia during the surgery.
He's unconscious now.
Oh, my. Yeong I. Are you all right?
Hae Mi.
Can you look after Mi Ri Nae? I need to see him.
(ICU, Restricted Area)
Grandpa.
Oh, my. Baby Chick, how did you know?
Hae Mi told me.
Why didn't you tell me?
You should've told me if Kyung Jun wouldn't.
Mi Ri Nae is fine, right?
I can't believe he made the decision...
to save Mi Ri Nae's life.
He'll wake up.
Let's wait for him to wake up.
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
I'm sorry.
(ICU, Restricted Area)
(Evergreen University Hospital)
You look so ugly.
Your face is ugly. My gosh. Even your hands are ugly too.
You must be upset.
You always bragged that you were handsome.
If you're upset, wake up quickly.
Water is the best drink in the world.
The one I gave you to put in your office was too small.
So I bought a big one this time.
I heard it helps to purify the air.
It was so heavy.
It's called sansevieria stuckyi.
What do you think?
I thought of that plant when I saw you.
It's pointy...
just like you...
who was prickly when I first met you.
(Letter from the Milky Way)
(I am a comfort for you and a letter to you.)
(Can you promise? Don't think you're alone while waiting for me.)
"Child."
"The Milky Way where I live..."
"is a lake created with longing stars."
"When someone on earth..."
"wants to see me desperately,"
"I'll become a shooting star one day..."
"and run to that child."
"While I'm on my way to you, Child,"
"I hope you get through..."
"the cold, dark night..."
"that will go on for so long."
"Walking long roads and crossing mountains and seas,"
"I am on my way to you..."
"who is waiting for me."
Kyung Jun.
You're on your way back, right?
I'm waiting for you.
Make sure to come back.
You must come back.
By the way, Ms. Kim.
How serious is Mr. Jang's condition? And what's the problem?
Why has he been on sick leave for over a week?
Shouldn't we visit him at the hospital?
When we visited Yeong I's child yesterday,
you only made a lot of lame jokes.
Do you think that helps anyone recover?
You should rather not go.
Mi Ri Nae will be discharged from the hospital soon, right?
Yes, she'll probably go home tomorrow.
I asked you to visit me because I was so worried.
Any news about Kyung Jun?
Is he still unconscious?
He's been moved to a non-ICU room,
but he hasn't regained his consciousness yet.
When I heard that he went into shock during the surgery,
I awfully regretted.
I resented myself for not stopping him to the end.
What do we do, honey?
What if things go wrong, and Kyung Jun never wakes up...
No wonder.
I found it strange that I hadn't heard from him for a while.
What do we do, Grandpa?
I'm relieved that Mi Ri Nae regained health.
But if Kyung Jun never wakes up...
Se Jun.
I didn't tell you about Kyung Jun...
to make you feel devastated.
A family always shares...
joy and sorrow with one another.
Grandpa.
Have faith...
in your brother.
Yes.
I believe...
that he will wake up.
Adults are always busy.
You have no idea how hard it is to work to make ends meet.
You don't know anything, Auntie Eun Jin.
Mr. Kyung Jun's family is incredibly rich.
You're right.
He'll go see you soon after you go home.
I'm sure of it.
Is he very busy?
Sorry?
Yes. I think he's busy.
Even I feel a little upset too.
Tell him to come see her even if he's busy.
Mi Ri Nae has been waiting for him for so long.
Eun Jin, can you look after her for a while?
Sure.
Where does she keep going?
Why are you still in this state?
I'm so upset.
Actually,
there were so many things I wanted to do with you.
There were so many things I wanted to say to you too.
You can't keep lying in bed like this.
I haven't even told you how much I love you properly.
I feel so bad about it since you're lying here.
Please...
open your eyes, Kyung Jun.
I'm begging you.
Kyung Jun, wake up. Come on.
Dad, wake up.
You promised to go on a bike ride with me today.
Mi Ri Nae, your dad is finally up. He's such a sleepyhead.
Yeong I.
Did you forget that we're going on a picnic today?
Get up right now.
If you don't get out of bed in five minutes,
I'll put a lot of cucumbers in the gimbap.
Ten, nine,
- Dad, hurry up. - eight, seven,
- Oh, no. - six...
- Five, four... - Stop.
My goodness. What are you doing?
Seriously.
Dad, give me a kiss too.
You want a kiss? Then I'll tickle you instead.
Here we go.
- Get out of bed and get ready now. - It tickles, right?
I'll come back later.
Yeong I.
Kyung Jun.
Yeong I.
Let's...
go on a picnic.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
It wasn't a coincidence that you two met. It was fate.
Even if the elders disapprove,
run away so that the three of you can live together.
You will never meet someone like him.
They say it's better...
for the donor and the recipient to not know, Mother.
Let's pretend we don't know that.
Who would let their enemy raise their child?
That's not right.
You should forget about Yeong I and Mi Ri Nae...
and start anew.
I think I've done all I should do, Yeong I.
Stay healthy and be happy.
