(Episode 94)
Kyung Jun.
What are you doing here at this hour?
(To Donor's Family)
So it's actually true.
That letter...
I wrote it, Yeong I.
This letter.
You wrote it, right?
Yes, that's right.
I dropped it off for the recipient.
The person who received your husband's corneas...
was me.
I checked the security footage...
and found out that Mr. Sim visited Ms. Cha's office a number of times.
Sim Won Sub...
met with High Heels in private without Yi Jae...
every single time he visited?
Yes. So far, that's what I've found out.
And who is...
Kyung Jun's acquaintance he wants to send abroad?
That's...
I think it'd be better to hear it directly from Kyung Jun.
So it's someone I know?
At the moment,
Sim Won Sub is the only suspicious one.
If Kyung Jun knows about something between the two of them,
then it would make sense.
What is the burden he can't share with me?
Oh, honey.
Where did you put the envelope we were going to give to Mr. Sim?
The one with the bankbook and the seal?
- Yes. - Why do you ask?
He was in urgent need of money.
We tried to give it to him in front of the whole family that day.
I think it really hurt his pride.
I should meet him in private and give it to him.
I was the one he reached out to for help in the first place.
Oh, you think he was hurt?
I think of him as a member of the family,
so I never thought it'd hurt his pride.
But now that I've heard what you said...
I understand it might've been hurtful.
It should be enough money for him.
Tell him to take care of the urgent issues and cheer up.
Okay, I will.
Oh, also...
I told Yeong I to visit us with her daughter.
With her daughter?
Yes. Why put it off?
We decided to accept her,
so we should let them get married as soon as possible.
That way, Kyung Jun will feel more stable emotionally,
which will help him focus on work.
All right.
See you.
Father.
You must've been worried since Won Sub left like that.
Yoon Hee will meet him in private...
to give him the money.
She said it must've hurt his pride.
Why is he staring at me like that?
Well, sure.
And I think it'd be best not to keep in touch with Mr. Sim.
What? Why?
Are you still angry at him for being rude?
He reacted like that because his feelings were hurt, Father.
It's just what my gut tells me.
We're helping him.
Now, we can call it even and cut all ties with him.
But why should we cut all ties with him?
It's all in the past anyway.
I just don't think it'll end well.
Do as I say.
Okay, Father.
Yes, Father. We will heed your advice.
Even when we were working together at the convenience store,
I thought it was fascinating.
What was fascinating?
If you open this and drink it while watching the sunrise,
all your stress melts away.
If you open this and drink it...
while watching the sunrise after studying all night,
all your stress melts away.
You like the same beverage that Do Jin liked.
You even said the same thing when I asked you why you liked it.
When I heard that, I just thought it was a coincidence.
But at the cafe that day...
I was very surprised.
At the cafe?
The day you bought me those sunflowers.
Especially when...
I see babies' eyes...
When I see their clear, innocent eyes...
Yeong I, when I see babies' clear, innocent eyes,
it makes me...
It makes me want to become a better person.
You said seeing babies' eyes...
makes you want to become a better person.
You and Do Jin said the exact same thing.
When I saw that,
I was very surprised.
And... How should I put this?
A sense of sadness that I couldn't put it into words?
I was suddenly overwhelmed with sorrow.
That day, I was quite flustered.
I think...
I would've felt the same way.
I was always curious.
"I don't even know the name of the person who got Do Jin's corneas."
"I wonder if this person lives in Seoul."
"I hope they're healthy and well."
"I had nothing,"
"but Do Jin loved me for who I was."
"He had such a warm heart."
"I hope they live the life he couldn't live."
"Happily..."
"and healthily."
But...
you were right here the whole time.
Ever since I had the surgery,
I've been thanking him from the moment I wake up...
every morning.
I thought I had to live in darkness for the rest of my life.
When I decided to undergo the surgery,
I became curious about the person who helped me see the world again...
and about his family as well.
I've always been curious.
This may sound a little arrogant,
but I wanted to be a helping hand to them...
for the rest of my life if there was anything I could do.
You know,
I'm so grateful.
If this is fate,
I should be...
thankful for my fate.
I also think...
it might be fate that you're the one...
who received his corneas.
I always wondered...
through whose eyes I was able to see the world again.
So that I could recognize you...
and see the world that you're seeing,
his corneas came to me.
Just saying that I'm grateful is not enough.
Now, we have a very important reason...
we should walk forward together,
hand in hand.
Why don't we tell the elders?
After work today,
let's tell them together.
Okay, let's do that.
(Food Product Development Team)
Hello, Ms. Kim.
What?
Did you cry?
First thing in the morning? You're really something.
Did you get into a fight with your boyfriend?
Hae Mi.
You can't even keep your personal matters separate from work.
Spare me a moment.
What's her deal?
What is it?
You know that Kyung Jun got a cornea transplant, right?
Of course, I do. How can I not know that?
I was the one who saved him when he collapsed...
due to post-surgery complications.
I saved his life.
Right, I know. But those corneas...
They were the ones that Do Jin donated.
What did you say? What do you mean?
Do Jin donated what?
You were abroad at the time,
so you couldn't come to his funeral.
Your parents probably didn't tell you.
Even for us, it's something we try not to talk about at home.
Right, they told me nothing about it.
So are you saying...
Kyung Jun was the one who received Do Jin's corneas?
How did you find out?
They can't give out the donor and recipient's information.
It's a long story, but I found out somehow.
My gosh.
That's an absurd coincidence.
You must be surprised.
I was so surprised too.
Then...
Do Jin was the one...
who truly saved Kyung Jun.
You're our family too,
so I wanted to tell you.
I plan to tell the elders today.
All right. You should get back to work.
No wonder they were drawn to each other.
I even took you home the other day.
I can't believe you haven't even called me.
Buy me dinner this evening.
Does it have to be today?
Yes, it has to be today.
I feel like I could even vent...
to a complete stranger right now.
It's your turn to listen to me vent.
Ms. Kim.
You said Yeong I was married to your cousin.
That's right. What about it? Is there a problem?
That means Kim Do Jin is your cousin.
How could I face you, knowing that?
Hello? Director Jang?
I'm sorry.
Today won't work.
Then how about tomorrow evening?
Tomorrow won't work either.
I'll never have time to meet you.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I thought...
we had gotten quite close,
but I guess I was wrong.
Forget that I called you today.
I'll never call you again unless it's work-related.
Yes, Director Jang.
Book round-trip flights for me.
The destination is the UK. I'd like to leave in 2 to 3 days.
Oh, as for the return flight, it has to be an open ticket.
If I'm gone, all will be fine.
I must be gone...
for Kyung Jun and Yeong I to be happy together.
What? You mean the person who donated his corneas to you...
was Lee Yeong I...
I mean, it was Ms. Lee's husband?
Yes, you heard what he said.
That's right. We found out while exchanging letters...
through the Donation Center.
After work today,
I'm going to visit her family with her and tell them.
You two are indeed meant to be together.
We were so mean to her in the past.
How are we going to make it up to her?
It's not like we knew this.
And we've decided to be supportive of their relationship.
I hope all goes well when you meet them later.
And what was her daughter's name again? Right, Mi Ri Nae.
I want to meet Mi Ri Nae soon.
And we should meet her family soon too.
Honey, that family saved Kyung Jun.
We should meet them soon too.
Yes, we should.
Stop by my office before you head out.
- I'll prepare a gift for them. - Okay.
Your grandpa will be very surprised when he hears this.
I'll tell him when I get home.
Okay, please do that.
All of a sudden,
you were asked to resign.
It must've been very stressful for you.
I had to take responsibility since I was in charge.
The new branch manager will manage your assets.
All right. We'll worry about my money later.
Anyway, what's your plan?
You see, this industry is cutthroat.
Even all of my personal clients...
left me as soon as they heard the news.
I'm no longer getting requests for lectures,
and my book contract fell through too.
All my life, I did nothing but work...
and neglected the people around me,
so I can't even think of a friend who'd be my drinking buddy.
"Kim Chang Yi, you have wasted your life."
I just keep thinking about that.
There are two English words that are very interesting to me.
They differ from each other by just one letter,
but they sound similar.
In English,
"end" means the point where something ceases to exist.
E, N, D.
But "and" means "in addition to." A, N, D.
Don't think that this is the end.
Remember "and" and move on.
Think that you're embarking on the second chapter of your life.
And...
did you say you couldn't think of a friend...
who'd be your drinking buddy?
You have me.
Feel free to call me anytime.
All right, let's eat.
- Do Sik. - Yes.
Here are two bowls of beef bone soup.
Okay.
Here, enjoy.
You should button up your coat. You'll be cold.
Okay, I will. I enjoyed the food. Have a great day.
Thank you. See you again soon.
I wonder...
if Chang Yi is dressed warmly today.
- Mother. - Yes?
Should I try calling him?
Gosh, just leave him be. Don't bother him.
Grandma, we're here.
Yeong I, you're back.
Kyung Jun, you're here too.
- Hello. - Hi, good to see you.
Are you here for dinner? Take a seat.
No, Father.
What is it?
Oh, these are from my mother.
Again?
You brought us gifts the last time too.
You're no longer a guest. We're family now.
That's right. This makes us uncomfortable.
But today, you have to accept them.
- Why is that? - We have something to tell you.
Tell Do Sik to watch the restaurant for a few minutes.
Let's talk at home.
So...
you were the one who received...
Do Jin's corneas?
My gosh. Come...
Come here.
Let me see.
Honey.
Leave her be. She's looking for him.
What is she looking for, Grandma?
Yes, look at him for as long as you want to.
You could only see him in your dreams.
Look at him through Kyung Jun.
Thank goodness he donated his corneas.
Because he donated his corneas before he passed on,
his mother can see him like this.
It's okay, Mother.
It's you.
It went to you.
Do Jin's eyes.
They are his eyes.
It's him, honey.
It's him!
No wonder I thought you looked familiar...
the moment I first met you.
Honey.
It's a happy day.
We should be grateful.
I am truly grateful, honey.
Why did seeing Mr. Jang make Grandma cry?
I'll tell you later, Mi Ri Nae.
Mi Ri Nae.
Come to me.
Okay.
Mi Ri Nae has always been so fond of him.
Now, I understand why.
I've told my parents too.
They would like to meet all of you as soon as possible.
They want to meet us?
But can we?
Right, we're Yeong I's in-laws.
You're my family.
You're hurting my feelings here, Father and Mother.
I know I still have a lot to learn,
but from now on,
just think of me as your own son.
And...
if you're okay with it,
I'd like to...
live here with all of you once we get married.
You want to live with us?
But we have a big family. Why would you...
It's a great idea,
but we don't have a spare room.
Use my room!
I'll move in with Eun Jin.
Gosh, you startled me. When did you get here?
What about the restaurant?
You'll move in with Eun Jin? What are you talking about?
I'm going to marry her,
so I'll just move into her place and live with her family.
Who says you can do that? Do you have their permission?
Permission?
I'll get their permission.
Hey, there's no one else at the restaurant now.
Gosh, you little...
Sorry, Kyung Jun. Please excuse me.
No worries.
Gosh, you punk.
What? You two will move in together?
Eun Jin, have you lost your mind?
Why not? What's the problem?
I want to try living with Do Sik before I make my decision.
Son.
Am I too old now?
Do all young people think like this?
No, I don't think so.
You're old-fashioned, Eun Ho.
Many people prefer not to get married these days.
Cohabitation is no longer frowned upon.
Even when you're buying a used car, you do a test drive...
and check all the specs before you decide to buy it.
Yes. It'd be wiser to try living with him before I decide.
As they say, it's better than getting a divorce.
You little...
Mom! I'm pregnant.
I'm going easy on you because you're pregnant.
I'm totally against this.
Don't say that most people would be okay with it.
Just listen to me and Mom.
Do things in the right order. You'll move in with him? No way.
Gosh, he's so old-fashioned.
I'm against it too.
It's my life.
Gosh, you little...
Goodness. I can't believe this.
He had never asked to see my bankbooks.
What's gotten into him?
He told me to get all my bankbooks and wait for him.
Gosh, what should I do?
Well, he won't kick me out.
Why did you tell me to come to your house? This is risky.
Why is it risky? We're nothing.
I told the family that I was stepping out to meet you.
Take this and get lost.
You made me come all the way here just for this?
Like I said the last time,
I will not forgive you if anything bad happens to my son.
Do not set foot in my house as if nothing ever happened.
And stop hovering around Se Jun!
What brings you here again?
Oh, are you getting home just now?
- Hello. - Hi.
Sir.
What are you doing here?
Yeong I, how do you know him?
He worked for my father as his driver up until a few years ago.
Really?
What a coincidence.
He said he ran a woodworking studio...
in the neighborhood where my husband worked.
So he knew my husband.
A little while ago, he visited my family and met them.
Right?
Is that true?
My gosh. What a strange coincidence.
Anyway, why are you two together?
- Are you... - She's my girlfriend.
Is that right? What an incredible coincidence!
My, Kyung Jun. You got a girlfriend now that you can see.
I'm so happy for you.
Ms. Cha, you must be very happy.
I'm done talking, so you can get going.
Okay, take care.
Wait. One moment, sir.
- Father. - What's going on?
It's getting late. Why is everyone here?
Hello.
Oh, hi.
Yi Jae told you, right?
I called him here to give him the bankbook.
Turns out,
Mr. Sim knew Ms. Lee's ex-husband.
What a coincidence. Right, Father?
- Is that true? - Yes, sir.
It's cold. Let's all go inside.
No, it's okay.
It's getting late. I'll visit you again another time.
All right, then.
Next time, make sure you bring Mi Ri Nae along.
Gosh, she's so adorable. I miss her.
Soo Wan, drive Yeong I home.
We'll go there another time.
Yes, sir.
Well, then. Bye.
Thank goodness you're here.
Take her home.
Yeong I, get home safely.
Will do. Go inside.
Let's go.
Just a moment.
Sir, wait!
Sir, can I get your number?
My number? Why?
I want to ask you something in private.
Please.
Thank you. I'll be in touch soon.
Get home safely.
Darn it.
Things will get complicated.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
Yeong I's husband was the one who donated the corneas?
Have you visited him?
Does he have a columbarium niche?
I heard he was in Starlight Park.
Why don't we visit Mr. Kim Do Jin with Mi Ri Nae?
I really want to thank him.
I'm sorry. I came too late.
Don't forgive me.
