(Episode 122)
(Court)
You must've been...
under a lot of stress.
You got through it.
I shouldn't be hopeful, right?
I really hope...
that the two of you can get back together.
It's probably just this old man being greedy.
I don't know...
what to say to you.
Here, take this.
Why are you giving me this umbrella?
I guess you forgot.
The day...
when we first met at the convenience store,
it suddenly...
started raining at dawn.
Right.
That day,
you didn't hesitate to let me borrow your umbrella.
On my way home,
my heart was filled with gratitude.
That umbrella is very old,
so I bought you a new one.
It's very strong and sturdy.
I had totally forgotten about it.
No matter where you are,
always be yourself, and don't change.
This world where we're living in may be a tough, unkind place.
But always be kind to others,
and don't hesitate to open up to strangers.
Protect that beautiful heart of yours.
Here, Mi Ri Nae.
- You're back. You must be tired. - Yes.
Welcome back.
Hi, my sweet pumpkin.
Did you have fun with your aunt?
Great-grandma, is Auntie Eun Jin my real aunt now?
Yes, Mi Ri Nae.
You can call her your aunt now.
How did it go?
Jang Se Jun was sentenced to four years in prison,
and the other 2 got 18 years each.
Wait here. I'll go get some water.
My sweet Mi Ri Nae.
Were you working on your drawing?
Yes, I drew the family. Do you want to see it?
All right. Let's see how well you did.
Gosh. You drew so many people.
Soon, we'll have two new family members.
Next time, make sure you draw Hoppy and Binky too.
This must be Great-grandma.
Grandpa and Grandma are here.
And the most handsome man here must be me.
I see Auntie Eun Jin and Auntie Do Young too.
And here, this must be you, your mom and dad...
Who is this man?
He's Mr. Kyung Jun.
What? You said you drew the family, Mi Ri Nae.
Why did you include him in your drawing?
Because he's a member of the family too.
Auntie Do Young told me...
that Daddy Do Jin brought me into this world,
and Mr. Kyung Jun saved me.
Do Young, did you have to say such a thing to a child?
Well, she's not wrong.
Yes, it's true.
Without his help, Mi Ri Nae wouldn't be here now.
You see, kids are honest.
Mi Ri Nae can't help but be drawn to him.
That's why she drew him as a member of the family.
- You brat... - That's enough.
I already have a lot on my mind.
Chang Il, I'll go lie down in my room.
You and Do Sik should go open the restaurant.
We should just take today off.
Our regulars are what keep the business going.
We can't keep closing the restaurant.
Okay, Mother. Let's get up. I'll help you.
Grandma, don't hate Mr. Kyung Jun.
You know, Grandma...
When my kindergarten friends bragged about going somewhere fun...
with their dads and getting toy gifts from their dads,
I was always very upset.
But Mr. Kyung Jun taught me how to ride a bicycle,
and we went sledding too.
For once, I was happy to be able to brag about something too.
That's why I thought...
it'd be amazing if Mr. Kyung Jun was my dad.
But I can't see him anymore because you hate him.
Sorry, Mom. I told her that too.
I'm always the bad one in the family, aren't I?
Honey, Mother wants to talk to us. Come in for a moment.
Chang Il, Eun Sook. I know you've been under a lot of stress.
Putting those people behind bars...
isn't enough to appease the anger...
of a mother who lost her child.
But they got what they deserved.
I'd say justice has been served.
Eun Sook.
Just pull yourself together now.
Yes, Mother.
It's not like hating and resenting them...
will make Do Jin come back.
I'm sure Do Jin wouldn't want to see me like this.
I know that.
Yes, I am proud of you.
Also,
listen carefully...
to what I'm about to say, okay?
I know that you two might resent me for saying this.
What is it about?
It's about Yeong I.
We should...
let her go now.
Mother.
Yes, we should.
We should let her go now.
Both Eun Sook and I know that.
I know where you're coming from.
Yeong I is one thing,
but what about Mi Ri Nae? I can't send her to that family.
She is Do Jin's child.
How can we let her be raised by our enemies?
I cannot do that.
Well...
I'm sure Yeong I will understand.
If she hears this, she'll give up right away.
She always let us have our way in the past, Mother.
Yes.
You're right, Eun Sook.
Ever since Yeong I moved in with us,
she has always...
let us win and do what we wanted.
She never once got greedy or selfish.
She gave up everything...
and lived for us.
It's our turn now.
I understand it's hard,
but we should really let her go now.
We've been greedy enough.
She lost her husband,
but we made her stay with us instead of Do Jin...
because we couldn't let her go.
Only because we were being greedy.
Eun Sook.
We should let it all go now. Okay?
I'll be honest.
We can't separate Mi Ri Nae from her mother, can we?
They may be our enemies,
but we all know that Kyung Jun did nothing wrong.
And his grandfather is a wonderful person too.
I trust that they'll raise Mi Ri Nae well.
For the sake of their future,
let's do as Mother says.
We have to let them go.
Honey.
Do Sik, go and get ready to open the restaurant.
Okay.
Father, is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Yeong I. You and Mi Ri Nae will sleep here tonight, right?
Yes, we'll stay here for a few days.
Really?
Thanks, Yeong I.
You're back, sir. You must be exhausted.
Go home and get some rest. Thanks for everything today.
Yes, sir. I'll get going, then.
Where is Kyung Jun?
In his room. Shall I tell him to come down?
No.
Leave him be.
You're back, Father.
Yes.
That family wouldn't be able to forgive us easily.
Nevertheless, I am glad that Yoon Hee had a chance...
to apologize to them in person.
I understand that forgiveness wouldn't be easy,
but not hearing a single apology from her...
would've made them even more resentful.
And Yoon Hee really wanted to apologize to them in person.
Neither she nor Se Jun...
wishes to appeal the court's decision,
so we'll just leave it at that.
Father.
I know that all of this was very stressful for you.
I'm sorry.
Looking back,
I realize none of this would've happened had I not married Yoon Hee.
But I never once apologized to you.
I know you've been distressed too.
It's all in the past now.
Instead of apologizing to me,
just be better to the boys.
Yes, I will.
Get some rest.
Don't break up with Yeong I.
You love her.
You shouldn't have to let her go because of me.
If you do,
I'll feel so terrible.
When I said you should just abandon me, I meant it.
You should...
find your own happiness now.
You have to.
You have made...
so many sacrifices...
because of me and Mom.
You'll...
do it for me, right?
We have to go.
I'm sorry for not keeping my promises.
You can't do this.
I still need you.
You're not done yet.
Keep your promises.
Keep all of them and then leave.
The truth is...
I feel the same way.
I also...
I need you too, Yeong I.
But how could I...
How could I...
stay by your side?
So? When are you meeting with Chairman Jang, Dad?
You've made up your mind to join the foundation.
Was the trial about ten days ago?
I should contact him.
That was ten days ago already.
Time really flies.
It's quite warm during the day now.
Spring has begun, and you're embarking on a new chapter.
I'm rooting for you, Dad.
Thanks, Hae Mi.
Now, I just need to persuade your mother.
But she can't quit her spending habits,
so she pesters me every night to take on a paying job.
Honey.
Hae Mi.
How do I look?
Does this suit me?
What is this?
Mom, I didn't know you had clothes like that.
This is new.
You went shopping again?
Yes, with reason.
Honey, I've made up my mind to support your decision.
Join the foundation.
If you're okay with working for free, go ahead.
Come to think of it, I've always done what I wanted...
since we got married,
but it's not the case for you.
It was my first time hearing you say that you wanted to do something.
In the past, you only talked about the things you had to do.
My gosh, Hwa Kyung.
Do you really mean it?
Yes.
From now on, I'm going to live...
an ordinary life like everyone else.
I want to be a minimalist.
Is that why you bought that outfit?
There's nothing minimal about the clothes I had.
They're too much.
Oh, and...
I want to get a job.
- A job? - A job?
Hae Mi, help me write my resume.
Do you really think you can get a job that requires a resume?
You have no work experience, Mom.
What? I have a national license.
What license?
A driver's license!
I'm an extremely skilled driver.
When you were in school, I always dropped you off...
and picked you up from those cram schools.
Okay. I'll help you, Mom.
All right, then.
- Ta-da. - Well... Mom.
These days, it's all done on computers.
You're right.
Then let's go to your room.
Come on. Let's do this.
How are you?
Isn't it uncomfortable?
(Keep Quiet)
That uncomfortable feeling brings me comfort.
In the past, I always felt uncomfortable...
even when I was supposed to be comfortable.
Unlike at home, I even sleep well these days,
so don't worry about me.
I asked you to come here because I had something to tell you.
Honey.
Yi Jae.
Yes, go ahead.
Let's...
get a divorce.
I've already talked to my lawyer about it.
The lawyer will visit you in a few days with all the paperwork.
It's something that has to be done anyway.
It'd be better to just get it over with.
Why rush?
We must get it done fast...
because this is the only thing I can do for Kyung Jun.
What do you mean?
Let's get a divorce quickly.
I can't be his mother...
for him to even think...
about seeing her again.
Yoon Hee.
Do it for me.
Help them...
so they can get back together.
Hey, Yeong I.
I'm grateful for all your help,
but how much longer will you do this?
You should either find a job or get married.
Actually, no. You should do both.
Don't worry about me. Just focus on prenatal education.
Do you not talk to him anymore?
Why would I? It's all over.
Eun Jin, I'm okay now.
I only need Mi Ri Nae.
I'll live the rest of my life as Mi Ri Nae's mother.
I've already made up my mind.
Hey, you can't stay single forever.
What's with the flowers?
Oh, this.
There's a troublemaker kid who visits us often for small injuries.
His mother brought these flowers for us today.
Some of our patients are allergic, so we can't keep them at the clinic.
- So I brought them here. - Aren't they so pretty?
Yes, they're beautiful.
Right, Yeong I?
I didn't know you liked flowers.
Mr. Jang.
Anyway, you were looking at those sunflowers, right?
What?
Well, since you're in pain...
Let's go inside.
Flowers make the best gift...
for patients.
Hey, wait. I'm fine.
Divorce?
Yes.
She said she couldn't be a member of the family...
for Kyung Jun and Yeong I to get back together.
How do you feel about it, Yi Jae?
Divorce?
I thought it was something that had to be done,
but this is too sudden.
No, I'm talking about the kids.
Yeong I and Kyung Jun.
Do you approve of their relationship?
I have no say in it.
That family would never approve of Kyung Jun.
Even if they get back together,
the elders of that family might hate Kyung Jun.
I won't lie. It worries me.
But Kyung Jun probably wants to get back together with her.
As you know,
Kyung Jun is obsessed with work these days.
I bet he's trying to only think about work...
because he's struggling to move on.
He's been having a hard time falling asleep at night.
I feel so bad for him.
He tries not to show it,
which breaks my heart even more.
I'm home!
Hey, you're back.
Father, you got home early today.
Grandpa, I bought some cookies.
I thought of you, so I bought them on my way home.
This place is very famous.
Thank you, Kyung Jun.
But you know,
you don't have to try so hard to hide it in front of me.
Don't worry about it. I'm fine now.
In just ten days, I took care of all the pre-launch preparations...
for the PB products for the second half of the year.
That said...
Father.
Grandpa.
You see,
I'm thinking of going to the US for a few years.
I want to study.
Father, you said you wanted me to open a branch office in the US.
I want to work on that too.
I've already put Director Park in charge of it.
- You don't need to worry about it. - No.
I'll go.
I want to do it.
I...
I want to leave.
Please let me go.
(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)
Hello.
Who's here so early?
My gosh.
What did you want to talk to us about?
If you're here to apologize, please just leave.
We do not want to hear anything,
and we have nothing to say to you.
Eun Sook.
I know it's shameless of me, but I came to ask for a favor.
My son, Kyung Jun, suddenly wants to move to the US.
He is really struggling to forget Yeong I.
I believe that's why he wants to leave.
But if he leaves like this,
he will never come back. I'm sure of it.
Yeong I is the only one...
who can persuade him to stay.
So I'm here to implore you.
I know how hard it must be,
but could you and your family...
please accept Kyung Jun?
Well, that's...
You know, the thing is...
We should...
put the past behind us and let the young ones live their lives.
Please only think about their future.
I implore you.
Get home safely.
Eun Sook.
Yes?
Our scars...
are something we have to deal with.
We should let Yeong I go...
so that she can live her life.
As you know,
Kyung Jun cherishes Mi Ri Nae as if she were his own child.
So you have nothing to worry about.
She's right, honey.
I'm sure that's what Do Jin wants too.
You know that Do Jin truly loved Yeong I.
He must be watching over Yeong I and Mi Ri Nae,
wishing them the happiest future.
Enough, okay?
I'm tired of hearing your spiel.
Auntie Do Young, is it very cold outside?
Yes, it's still quite cold.
I guess you want to go outside and play.
No, it's not that.
Don't tell Grandma, okay?
When it gets warm,
I want to go to the beach with Mr. Kyung Jun and Mom.
I'm going to call him.
Mother, who was here?
Yeong I.
Pack up your things and leave at once.
I told you I was staying for a few days.
Mom, what now? You told her to move back in.
Gosh, I don't know. I can't even stand the sight of you.
Yeong I, you're no longer my daughter-in-law.
Let's call it quits.
Mother.
Do you not understand what I'm trying to say?
Go live with Kyung Jun!
I'm telling you to go live with Kyung Jun.
I'll let you go!
Mi Ri Nae too. Take her with you.
Go live with him!
Mother.
