(Still Loving You)
(Episode 124)
What are you guys looking at?
I'm CFO Kim Bit Na.
I'd like to tell you the truth about the rumor...
regarding Ms. Oh Eun Soo's past.
Back when I was in high school,
I reported to the police and the education office...
that I had received an unfair punishment...
from my homeroom teacher, Ms. Oh Eun Soo.
Because of what I did, Ms. Oh got branded as a violent teacher...
and was fired from her job.
However, it all happened because I lied.
Ms. Oh has never used violence...
against me.
Lawyer Kim, I got the documents.
Thank you for your work.
I'll call you again later.
Sit down.
Bit Na,
why did you post that?
What were you thinking?
I'm the one who should ask you that.
Don't you know that people think of you as a violent teacher?
You've been acquitted.
Why aren't you doing anything about people treating you like a criminal?
Are you saying...
you confessed because of me?
How do you intend to keep working here?
All I need to do is explain that I've been acquitted,
but what were you thinking?
For eight years,
you've been blamed for something you didn't even do.
At least I'm not being wrongly accused.
It's something I did, so I'll deal with it.
- Are you really... - I...
turned myself in.
What?
I went to the police station and confessed what I did.
I want to put an end to what happened eight years ago.
And...
these are the documents you need to go back to teaching.
Don't give up on your dream.
You were a really good teacher.
Why...
are you doing this after all this time?
That day...
when you apologized to me,
I decided to forget about what happened in the past.
- That's why I didn't sue you for... - It's not just because of you.
Half of it...
is for me.
To be more exact,
I'm doing it for my baby.
I don't want my child to be ashamed of me.
If my baby grows up...
and finds out about what I did,
I won't be able to take it.
I want to pay for what I did...
and live with a clear conscience.
Yes. You've heard?
Yes, it's true. Bit Na put up a notice.
Father, I'll tell you the details when I get home.
Okay.
Were you aware?
The notice outside isn't everything.
She also turned herself in.
Yes, I know.
Why didn't you stop her?
She might receive a jail sentence.
I respect her decision.
I also trust that...
she'll be able to get through whatever she faces.
She has both me...
and our soon-to-be-born baby.
And she also has our family.
Where did I put it?
I know I put it by my head when I went to sleep.
Aunt, have you seen my phone by any chance?
No.
Goodness.
Gosh.
Why did you take my phone? Give it back.
I'm confiscating it.
Don't contact that guy, and don't even go to work.
I called Mr. Lee and told him to close the clinic.
Mom, why are you being like this?
Don't you think you're out of line?
Look who's talking.
Gosh, you act all smart, but you're so clueless.
Come to your senses, before you regret it.
I won't let you step out of the house until you give up on him.
Just tell me to die.
I'll die if that's what you want!
What?
What did you just say?
How can you say such a thing to your mom?
You told me to give up on becoming a mom.
How can you say something like that to your daughter?
Soo Min, that's enough.
You brat.
How can you break my heart like this?
You broke my heart too!
As of today, I won't eat anything.
I'm going to starve to death.
- That brat! How dare you... - Gosh, Seon Young.
Seon Young, please calm down.
Did you not hear what she said? She said she'd die.
How can she be so heartless?
Seon Young,
you should just let her do what she wants.
Why are you taking her side?
Don't you have to leave for work? Get going.
All right.
Soo Min! Open the door!
Soo Min, you better open the door before I get angry.
Did she lock the door?
Yes.
Hey, Soo Min! Open the door!
I'm going on a hunger strike!
You've done nothing to be proud of.
Starve all you want. It won't even make me flinch!
You can't even skip one meal. Hunger strike?
Starve or not, do whatever you want!
Gosh.
Open the door!
I didn't mean what I said a few minutes ago.
I just said it out of anger.
I'll never have bad thoughts like that because I have you two.
You trust Mommy, right?
Darn.
I can't be hungry already.
Nice, I have chocolate.
Hang in there. Even if you're hungry.
This is the only thing I can do at the moment.
I'm doing this for all of us.
You can do it, right?
Mommy is a doctor, so you have nothing to worry about.
I'll be sure to protect you two.
Eun Soo.
- Yes? - I'm sorry.
I told everyone that you'd never do such a thing,
but Ji Eun and Ms. Park...
Mr. Lee.
When did I say that?
I clearly said that I'm not sure if the rumor is correct...
I thought it was complete nonsense from the beginning.
It's okay. You don't need to worry about me.
Gosh. Don't you think Eun Soo is incredibly understanding?
Absolutely. That's how she can forgive...
someone who wrongly accused her.
I had no idea Ms. Kim would be capable of doing such a thing.
(Mine)
Hey, Soo Ho.
Hey, are you all right?
Why wouldn't I be?
I was frustrated because I couldn't stop everyone and tell the truth,
but it got resolved in one blow.
How's Bit Na holding up?
She's so composed to the point that it feels strange.
She gave me some documents.
She said that if I submit them,
I can go back to teaching.
It's not like I haven't done it because I didn't know.
Soo Ho, I feel weird.
What do you mean?
I should be happy about it, but I'm not.
I got back the things I lost because of Bit Na's lies,
but I'm so worried about her that I feel like I'm going crazy.
She put up the notice and turned herself in.
The fact that she's so calm and collected after that makes me mad.
How can she be okay about being branded as a criminal?
She has no idea how horrible it is.
She has no clue.
What's she going to do now that she's gotten herself into this mess?
Eun Soo.
She sure has a knack for making my blood boil.
Eun Soo, are you really human?
How can you be so good-hearted? Are you an angel?
You must be hiding your wings somewhere.
I'm not in the mood to joke around with you right now.
If I were you, I'd hate her. Even if she was family.
Not only have you already forgiven her,
but you also think of her as your sister now.
I do?
No, I don't. Not at all.
Then why are you so angry and worried?
You should be happy and relieved.
So that's what happened.
Does your grandmother know about this?
No.
She would've tried to stop me if I told her beforehand.
That's why I couldn't tell her.
Are you okay?
Yes.
You and Soo Hyun...
are very similar.
Soo Hyun asked me the same question.
I think I finally know what it feels like to be loved.
Now, I finally know how much...
you loved me.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? It's all my fault.
If you're saying that because of what I said to you in the past,
please forget about it.
I didn't mean it when I blamed everything...
on you.
I was just taking my anger out on you.
I was only whining.
Bit Na.
I'd like to give you a hug.
May I do that?
Thank you for being courageous.
Regardless of what people might say,
you're still...
my most precious and proud daughter.
I love you.
Me too.
I love you, Dad.
My goodness, why did you cook so many dishes?
You really don't know how to save food.
My goodness.
Do you think I wanted to cook all of this?
It's for an old lady I know who has a huge appetite.
No, I don't.
My goodness, sure you don't.
- I'm home. - You're home early.
Yes.
Come on out after you get changed.
Before that, I have something to say to you both.
Where's Soo Min?
Didn't you read the note on her door?
She locked herself in her room. She's on a hunger strike.
What? Is she crazy?
What about her babies?
Just leave her be.
She'll give up sooner or later.
Let's talk about that later.
Bit Na.
Yes, Father.
How could you do something like this without saying anything to us?
I'm sorry.
What a headache. Everyone's giving me such a hard time.
Everyone in the company knows about this now. What a disgrace.
It's already in the past. Why did you have to bring it up again?
Did you make her do it, Eun Soo?
Mom.
Eun Soo didn't know anything.
I decided everything on my own.
It was a rash move, Bit Na.
Whomever you did this for, you still should've...
discussed this with us beforehand.
You know that Mother, Father, and Aunt Soon Jeong...
are not the type to disagree with anything you say.
Or you could've at least told me.
I don't think Bit Na did anything wrong.
Because she was so bright, I thought she put everything in the past.
And although you all forgave her,
I guess she couldn't forgive herself.
She told me that...
she always felt guilty deep down inside.
That's why she decided to do what she did.
I'd like to respect Bit Na's choice...
for our soon-to-be-born baby.
I understand what you mean.
But you should've thought about the future.
It's not something she can handle on her own.
It could be really hard on her.
She's prepared for what's to come. Also,
I'll always be there for her.
You must've forgotten, but we have her back too.
Especially Eun Soo.
She was so worried about her sister. I felt heartbroken.
When did I worry about her?
What? You were so worried about her earlier today.
- Shall I help you remember? - Gosh, stop it. What's with you?
Bit Na, I know it must've been hard for you to do this.
I respect you.
I wanted to protect Eun Soo.
It's all my fault.
I wanted to protect her because we're family. She's my older sister.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm sorry too, Father. I'm sorry.
Gosh, hey.
I didn't even say anything yet. Why are you guys crying?
My gosh, why are you crying?
Okay. I respect your choice.
It's not easy to live with a burden in your heart.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but let's fight through.
- Okay. - Okay.
Bit Na, you finally seem like...
the eldest daughter-in-law of our family.
Father.
Hey, it was a compliment. Why are you crying?
What you just said was so moving.
My goodness.
I didn't know you could joke around like that, Soo Hyun.
Hey, my childhood dream was to become a comedian.
Bit Na. Eun Soo.
I heard something happens if you laugh right after you cry.
My gosh.
I'm not kidding.
Please just fall asleep.
How can I fall asleep?
Then you can stay awake in the living room.
Why do you have to bother me as well?
Bit Na might end up in prison.
How would you feel if you were in my shoes?
I stayed awake...
and tried to think of her as my own granddaughter.
And here's what I think.
My goodness.
It's not a shame to be punished.
It's a shame when a person can't figure out what they did wrong.
You shouldn't be embarrassed that she turned herself in.
You should praise her instead.
It's not easy to think that way.
Let's wait and see what happens.
Nothing's been decided yet. She might not go to prison.
Is Soo Min still on a hunger strike?
She must've really made up her mind.
Shouldn't we force her to eat something?
In order for us to do that, she needs to let us in first.
I had to sleep on the sofa yesterday because she kept the door locked.
Do you think she'll be okay?
She's still being stubborn, so it must mean that she's okay.
Why are you all staring at me?
Did I lock her up and starve her?
This problem better be solved...
before I get home from work today.
No matter what.
- Are you going to work, Soo Hyun? - Yes, I have to go to the factory.
- Are you both going to work? - Yes.
Have a good day.
- I'll be off then. - See you.
Why did you want to see me? Is there something wrong?
Mother's downstairs.
I wanted to talk to you about Soo Min.
We can't just sit around and do nothing.
I'm so worried.
What if she collapses?
Eun Soo, do you have an idea?
Aunt Soon Jeong,
how about we try this?
A warm bowl of rice...
topped with an egg cooked over easy.
I'll put in soy sauce and sesame oil, then I'll mix them up.
I'm so hungry.
I'll try to hold out until this evening.
If it doesn't work, let's take a tactical retreat.
I should just sleep until the evening.
That brat.
I can't believe she's breaking my heart like this because of that guy.
How can she starve herself all day when she's pregnant?
She's so bullheaded just like her father.
What if she faints?
Seon Young, Seon Young!
Seon Young, come on out.
Something must have happened.
What do you mean?
I'm talking about Soo Min. I thought about it,
and I realized she hasn't even gone to the bathroom since yesterday.
I don't hear anything from her room either.
It's too quiet which is weird.
The back of my head feels all weird.
I'm getting a bad feeling.
Stop talking nonsense.
I'd be relieved if it's all nonsense.
Don't you know I have good instincts?
You don't hear anything even when you knock?
Well, let's get the door open. Where's the key?
Come on!
Well, I've actually been looking for it since yesterday,
but I don't remember where it is.
Gosh, we're in big trouble.
Try to remember it.
No, no. Let's call a locksmith.
I'm getting a really strange feeling.
Gosh, what should we do?
My phone... Gosh, where did I put my phone? Goodness.
What do you think Soo Min is up to now? I miss her.
Hang in there. She must also be fighting the urge to see us.
How do you know?
I'm not sure. I just think that might be the case.
You always act like you know everything.
Na Ra and Woo Ri, have some snacks.
Take a break from studying and eat this.
Dad, I want to eat tteokbokki with Soo Min.
Can you call her and tell her to come over?
Well, that's...
Just a second.
Hello?
Yes, Soo Ho.
Sorry? A hunger strike?
(Locksmith)
Is it going to take much longer?
It's almost done.
You call yourself an expert. What's taking you so long?
Hurry. Please hurry up.
Soo Min! Gosh, Soo Min.
My goodness, Soo Min.
Soo Min. Gosh...
Mom?
Yes, it's me.
Hey, 911. Call 911 right now.
Soo Min, are you okay?
What's wrong, Mom?
Don't you know?
You've done nothing to be proud of. How can you lock your door...
and starve yourself?
I get that you can be immature, but you're pregnant now.
That guy whom you love so much.
Does he even know that you're doing this?
What? What's going on?
This is a do-or-die matter.
I can't live without him. He can't live without me either.
Gosh, Hyung Sik...
Hyung Sik...
Mom...
Yes. Have you regained your consciousness?
Hey, go make some porridge for her.
Sure.
Soo Min.
Listen to me.
You've always gotten compliments for being smart...
and being the top student, so you don't know how this world is.
Even your own children can feel like enemies at times...
like how you and I are right now.
How will you raise someone else's children?
I know that it'll be harder. It definitely won't be easier.
How will you raise two kids you didn't even give birth to?
Mom, I can do it.
I don't think of them as someone else's kids.
Hey.
Do you know how tough it is to live as a stepmother?
Even if you're good to them 10 times, 1 mistake can ruin it all.
Do you know what people will say?
They'll talk ill of you and say it's because they're not your own kids.
Mom, you'll know how I feel when you meet them.
They're very fond of me,
and they listen to me. They're good kids.
Mom...
Mom, don't cry, okay? Please?
Why are you crying? Please.
Aunt, why are you crying?
I'm the one who wants to cry right now.
I want you...
to have a daughter who'd put you through the exact same thing.
Only then, you'll know how I feel now.
Soo Min!
Soo Min, are you okay?
Hyung Sik...
Why would you go on a hunger strike?
Do you want me to die or what?
My heart sank when I heard about it.
Crying won't make me forgive this.
What would you have done if something bad happened?
Gosh... I was so worried about you.
Are you okay?
Hey, you're home.
- What's this? - A gift for you.
Earlier today, one of the customers' kid kept crying so much,
so I took him outside and played the claw machine with him.
And you won all of these?
My hands just knew what to do.
Oh, did you hurt your finger?
I just got a small cut while cooking.
If you didn't disinfect it, let's do it now.
- I'll go bring... - It's okay. I already did it.
It still stings a little, but I'm sure it'll heal very soon.
But I think I'll be a bit scared every time...
I use a knife from now on.
You have to go through processes like that to become more solid.
I read in a book that...
wounds are proof that shows you're growing as a person.
After the wound heals and the scab comes off,
the skin hardens and becomes stronger.
That's how you overcome a wound and become a bigger person.
That's very inspiring.
You'll be like that too, right?
You were staring at this all night.
Don't put it off any longer. Do it tomorrow.
Will I be able to do a good job?
I don't even remember much because it's been too long.
I don't feel confident.
What about the advice you just gave me?
You said wounds are proof that shows I'm growing as a person.
Ms. Oh Eun Soo.
You can do it.
Today, we're going to learn about infinitives and subjects.
Who would like to explain what they are?
What? Is there not a single person who can explain?
Hey, you. Explain what they are.
Why can't you answer me?
(Oh Eun Soo, former teacher at Jaemyoung Girls' High School)
Don't give up on your dream.
You were a really good teacher.
Ms. Oh Eun Soo,
you can do it.
Oh Eun Soo, let's do this!
