(Episode 79)
Nam Yu Jin,
you won't be able to give her your liver even if you wanted to.
I'm now the only one who can do that.
- Hey. - Mr. Ji Seok!
Hi, Ha Neul.
Grandfather?
Ha Neul, that's right.
My dear Ha Neul. Are you feeling better?
Yes, I am.
I heard the receiver's condition mattered in an organ transplant.
She can get the operation, right?
Yes. You don't need to worry about that.
Ha Neul.
I went around the department store multiple times...
to get a gift for you.
Here. Take it.
Thank you.
But Grandma, didn't you hate me?
Why would I hate you?
I missed you tons, you know?
Ha Neul. After your operation,
let's get delicious food...
and hang out together. Okay?
She's right, Ha Neul.
Let's draw and play together.
To do so, you have to get better quickly.
Okay. Uncle Young Jun told me...
Dad was coming to make me better.
Chairman Nam. Yu Jin is currently getting tested, right?
- Darn it. - Stop.
I'll give you everything you want, so stop.
Hey.
Let's go home.
Are you okay?
(Asin University Hospital)
Doctor. Can I take...
the liver biopsy today?
You have abdominal bleeding.
So getting a biopsy today is impossible.
Then when can I get it?
I want to do it as soon as possible.
With your current state, you'll need at least two weeks to recover.
Excuse me.
What? We have to wait for two weeks?
But Ha Neul needs her surgery fast.
Hold on. If Yu Jin can't give his liver right now,
Gyeo Ul can do it instead, no?
You're right.
Now that I recall, she wasn't in Ha Neul's room.
You see, she's at home. She wasn't feeling well.
And having woken up not long ago, she hasn't fully recovered yet.
So she can't donate her liver.
It's only natural.
But once you recover, Yu Jin,
you'll be able to donate your liver. It's a relief.
There were no problems in the first examination, right?
Yes. Judging by the first examination result,
I was told we could do the operation if there were no problems.
I see.
- Hey, Ae Ra. - Hi.
What did the police say?
It seemed like the assailants lured him to a place with no CCTV.
But they're checking all the CCTVs around the area.
They're also checking the criminals...
with the same records with the features Yu Jin described.
Good gracious.
What were they thinking, attacking a man in broad daylight?
Goodness.
Darn it. Oh Se Rin. You should've done a better job.
What were you thinking, handling the job like that?
How frustrating!
I can't have Nam Yu Jin donate his liver.
Darn it.
Hello?
Are you Ms. Jung Gyeo Ul?
It's the hospital.
Your first examinations showed your liver function was normal,
and you have no viral diseases.
You can proceed with a biopsy.
Good gracious. What's the use of having no hepatitis or virus?
Seriously. What if Nam Yu Jin could give his liver away?
This is so annoying.
(Asin University Hospital)
Ha Neul. Did you have fun with Mr. Ji Seok's family?
Yes. I drew and read a fairy tale book...
with Mr. Ji Seok.
And...
the scary grandma bought this for me.
She wanted to get food...
and go on a trip together after my surgery.
Really?
Then Grandma must not be scary anymore, right?
Yes. I decided to like her.
I like everyone in Mr. Ji Seok's family.
Listen, Ha Neul.
How...
would you feel if Mr. Ji Seok's family...
was your family?
I'd like it. But if we were family, we'd have to live together.
I'd rather live with you, Se Rin.
But I'm busy with work every single day,
so we barely get to hang out together.
And we can meet up like we did with Grandma Gil Ja...
at her burger place.
But I want to see you every day.
By the way, Se Rin, why would you say that?
What? No particular reason.
You said you liked Mr. Ji Seok's family.
Se Rin. When is Dad coming?
You told me Dad was coming from overseas to make me better.
Oh, right. Something must have come up.
Coming here must take some time.
So let's wait a little bit more.
Okay, Se Rin.
I heard the biopsy result was coming out today.
There won't be any problems, right?
What problems could there be?
Nam Yu Jin's first examination showed he was a good candidate.
You're right. But I can't help but feel anxious.
Stop it, Gil Ja. You might bring bad luck.
Right. That shouldn't happen.
Nam Yu Jin. I hated hearing that name.
But as Ha Neul's dad, he's become quite useful.
He must do it as her dad.
And don't get soft-hearted because of this.
This ends with this. He must pay for his sins.
Of course.
I really hope the examination result turns out fine.
Gyeo Ul went to see Nam Yu Jin.
Let's wait. She'll get in touch soon.
Doctor. Is the biopsy test result out?
I'm afraid Mr. Nam Yu Jin cannot donate his liver.
What?
He can't donate his liver? How come?
The biopsy result says Mr. Nam...
has acute hepatitis.
In a case like this, liver donation is impossible.
"Acute hepatitis?"
But you never mentioned that in my first examination.
It seems you got infected after the examination.
Yes!
What now? Acute hepatitis?
Once again, I'm the only one who can save Seo Ha Neul.
What do you mean, Nam Yu Jin has acute hepatitis?
You said there wouldn't be a problem after the biopsy.
I looked into it,
and he grew sick of hospital food...
and had his secretary bring him takeout food.
I think he got acute hepatitis because of that food.
- Takeout food? - Yes.
The place where he got it recently had customers...
who began to get hepatitis, so they were under investigation.
How can something like this happen at this point in time?
What will happen to Ha Neul?
If her condition fails once again, she'll really be in danger.
That won't happen.
I opened up about Ha Neul to Nam Yu Jin...
even though I knew he was capable of taking her away just to save her.
If I fail to save Ha Neul...
and end up losing her to Nam Yu Jin, I won't be able to go on, Young Jun.
If that happens,
I'll make sure I find a way to bring Ha Neul back.
So let's not worry about that...
and think of a way to let Ha Neul get her surgery.
Yes, I'm sure we'll find a way.
How's Ha Neul?
It's not good.
Even her biological father, Nam Yu Jin, can't be a donor.
She'll just have to wait and wait...
until a compatible donor shows up.
Really?
I thought about your offer.
And? Did you make a decision?
Yes.
I'll give her my liver.
Se Rin.
I thought about it and realized...
this was Jung Gyeo Ul's body, not mine.
I doubt I'm going to die for giving up a piece of liver.
Se Rin, thank you.
Thank you so much.
You don't have to thank me.
I'm just accepting your offer.
Anyway, the hospital told me that I was compatible...
to donate my liver to her.
The surgery will begin as soon as I agree to donate.
Really?
That's why...
I want you to keep your promise...
to come and be here by my side before I decide to donate.
Yes, I understand.
I made that offer, so I'll keep it.
Tae Yang, there is one more term...
that I need you to accept.
A term?
Tae Yang, marry me...
and leave with me.
What? Marry you?
You said it first. You said you'd come and be with me.
But just having you here physically isn't enough.
I need to have you with me on paper.
And I want to leave with you to a place away from Jung Gyeo Ul.
Why?
No?
Okay. Then we can just call it off.
No, I'll marry you.
And I'll leave with you,
to a place of your choice.
Goodness.
Why didn't you just eat the food at the hospital?
Why did you eat outside food and get sick with hepatitis?
I got sick of hospital food.
I never knew this would happen.
Yu Jin, did you forget to get vaccinated?
Goodness, you should have gotten vaccinated beforehand.
What do you mean? I got vaccinated.
I asked the doctor about it,
and some people don't develop antibodies even with vaccines.
That means some people do develop the antibodies.
Why did that other person have to be you?
Goodness.
What will happen to So Yi? I'm so heartbroken.
Mom, I'm more heartbroken!
Think of how I'm feeling.
Anyway, Yu Jin. Are you allowed to come home?
I hear hepatitis is infectious.
Really?
Oh my, what am I going to do?
I can't catch hepatitis.
Mom, how can you think of that in this situation?
I mean, look.
I can't visit So Yi anymore if I get hepatitis.
I should be careful.
Goodness. Forget it.
Just leave the room.
- Get out already. - Okay, fine.
All right. Get some rest.
Man.
I love it when you comb my hair.
I also love it when I comb your hair.
No, I love every single moment I spend with you.
Really?
Then may I do everything I ever wanted to do...
once I get surgery and become healthy again?
Yes, of course.
What do you want to do most when you become healthy again?
I want to play with paint just as we did last time.
And?
I want to bake cookies,
and go on a picnic with you and Tae Yang.
Okay. Let's do all those.
Okay.
Do you think my dad will be sad...
if I only go with you and Tae Yang?
Ha Neul, you're worried about your dad too?
You said he'd make me better.
Right, Se Rin?
Yes, right. You're right, Ha Neul.
Ha Neul.
Only if my soul hadn't changed,
I would've done whatever I could to make sure you got better.
But Mommy can't do anything for you.
I'm so sorry, Ha Neul.
I'll give her my liver.
Tae Yang, marry me and leave with me.
This is the only way for Ha Neul...
and Gyeo Ul.
This is the right decision.
Doctor, is that true?
Ha Neul can really get her transplant surgery?
Yes, the results showed the donor was compatible with Ha Neul.
Thank you.
I was worried it'd take a long time until she found a donor.
Doctor, does this mean she can get the surgery right away?
There's no need to hurry as this isn't a brain-dead donor.
Let's work out the surgery schedule.
It wasn't a brain-dead donor?
Then who's the donor?
Is it true that you'll donate your liver for Ha Neul?
Didn't the doctor fill you in on the details?
You flat out refused last time,
so I wanted to confirm it with you.
You will donate your liver to Ha Neul, right?
Why won't you believe me?
I'll really do it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Se Rin.
You don't have to thank me.
I'm not doing this for you.
I'm doing this for myself.
What? What do you mean?
Oh, I guess Tae Yang hasn't told you.
As soon as the surgery is over, I'm going to marry Tae Yang...
and leave this place.
We're done talking about it.
Wait, did you use your liver to persuade Tae Yang to...
Otherwise, why would I go through a surgery like this one? Right?
Tae Yang is finally back where he belongs,
so Ha Neul will return to you too.
So do not even dream...
of shaking Tae Yang again,
if you want to keep your daughter safely by your side.
Gyeo Ul.
Tae Yang.
Ha Neul can get a liver transplant.
Really? That's great news.
Is that all?
Are you not going to ask how it happened?
Gyeo Ul. I'm sorry.
Tae Yang. Why are you apologizing to me?
Why are you going this far for me?
I'm not doing it for you.
I'm doing it for Ha Neul.
I love Ha Neul as much as you do.
Tae Yang. But still...
So don't feel sorry for me.
I'm going to be late for work. I better leave now.
Don't think about it too deeply.
Just think about Ha Neul.
Just her. Okay?
Did Se Rin really agree to donate her liver?
Yes. I confirmed it in person with Se Rin today.
But didn't she act as if she wouldn't whatsoever?
So why the sudden change of heart?
What? You see...
Tell Mom and Uncle that Se Rin changed her mind out of the blue.
They'll just worry about it.
I'm not too sure.
However hard I think about it,
Se Rin wouldn't have agreed to it so easily.
This sure is strange.
Maybe deep down, Se Rin felt bad for Ha Neul.
Anyway, this is great.
Mal Ja. You heard the news, right?
Se Rin agreed to donate her liver.
We're no longer feuding families. Right?
So let's get back together.
Young Soo. I really want to as well.
- Mal Ja. Today at the hospital... - Oh, no.
Young Soo, why are you here?
Didn't you two break up already?
Listen, Gil Ja.
I want to date Mal Ja again.
Please give us permission.
What was that?
Young Soo. You are Oh Se Rin's uncle.
But you want to date Mal Ja?
Do you really think that's possible?
I know.
Se Rin is haughty and has done many bad things.
But she agreed to the surgery.
So can't you cut me some slack?
Do you even realize whose fault it is Ha Neul has to get a transplant?
I don't want to listen to you anymore.
Leave before I call the police.
- No. - At once!
- No. Mal Ja. - At once!
Gil Ja. Please wait.
- Mal Ja. - Gosh.
- Gil Ja, please! - Young Soo.
- Please! - Young Soo!
Young Soo!
Mal Ja. Don't even think about getting back together with him.
Here you go.
By the way, who are you gifting this to?
Actually, I got my first-ever salary.
This was recommended to me as the first gift for my parents.
Apparently, many of my friends' parents...
with bald spots use this product a lot.
You're totally right.
Gift this to your parents, and they will love it.
I'll come back for more.
- Okay. Please come again. - All right. Thank you.
Bye.
Oh, right. I should tell Yu Ri that So Yi is getting a transplant.
Hey, Yu Ri.
Ha Neul is getting the transplant?
Gosh, what a relief.
Okay. Got it, Mom.
So that was why Mr. Jung looked happy.
But how much longer must I hide the fact I'm Nam Yu Jin's sister?
He'll find out sooner or later.
All right. Let's just come clean about it.
Hold on. But let's say I tell him.
"Yu Ri, let's break up."
What if he says that?
Really. What do I do?
Gyeo Ul.
- Hey, Young Jun. - Hi.
Where's Ha Neul?
She's getting tested.
But how are you here at this hour?
- Are you here to see Ha Neul? - Yes.
Isn't Ha Neul finally getting the transplant?
So why do you look gloomy?
What is it?
By any chance, did Oh Se Rin...
demand something in return for the transplant?
What?
Young Jun.
She really did that?
I knew something was off when that woman suddenly agreed...
to the surgery.
What did she say to you?
It wasn't me but Tae Yang.
In return for donating her liver,
she wanted him to marry her.
What?
How could she make a deal with Ha Neul's life?
So? Did Tae Yang agree to marry her?
Yes.
Young Jun.
I feel terribly sorry for Tae Yang.
He always sacrifices himself for me.
But I can't stop him.
Because I have to save Ha Neul.
So once again, I'm acting selfishly toward him.
You're a mom.
You have no choice as a mom.
Tae Yang, it's me.
Do you know where Oh Se Rin is staying right now?
Se Rin?
Why do you ask?
You see... I want to thank her...
for giving her liver to Ha Neul.
Great. Thanks.
I should ask her to let go of Tae Yang.
My gosh.
What do you mean you want more money?
The guys from back then are getting chased by the police.
So they're demanding more money.
"Getting chased?"
Didn't you say that wouldn't happen?
It just happened. Some things don't go the way you want them to.
Anyway, those guys want me...
to pay them more before they tell the police...
I ordered the attack. So let's settle it.
You can pay them, no? So why ask me for money?
They don't even know my face. So it has nothing to do with them.
So this is your response?
Then I'll pay Nam Yu Jin a visit.
"Nam Yu Jin?"
Should I tell Nam Yu Jin that you instigated the attack...
to stop his liver donation?
What the heck?
Then Oh Se Rin was the reason Nam Yu Jin couldn't give his liver?
You have yet to catch the assailants?
Detective, do you even have the intention of catching them?
Fine.
Call me the minute you catch them.
How annoying.
Ae Ra. Why did you come home at this hour?
Oh, because of this.
Father told me to give it to you in advance.
I put together everything I did as the director until now.
I see. Thanks, Ae Ra.
But Dad.
Why is he already putting me to work?
I'm still in awful condition.
Right? Are you sure you can return to work?
You could just rest at home for good.
Tell me about it!
Wait, Ae Ra.
That was kind of odd. Rest at home for good?
It sounded like you didn't want me to return to work.
Yu Jin, why do you twist my words?
I was just worried about you.
I see. Right?
Gosh, I'm sorry, Ae Ra.
I haven't been in good condition, so I was a bit sensitive.
Gosh. Okay, Yu Jin.
I have to wrap up some work, so I'll go back.
Okay.
- Are you going to work? - Yes, Grandfather.
Honorary Chairman, I found Hyun Jung.
What?
Let's go into my room.
What? He found Hyun Jung?
You found Hyun Jung?
Tell me all the details.
She left for America ten years ago, and her re-entry was never recorded.
So I've limited my search to the US.
Then I decided to check her entry record,
and it said she returned to Korea early this year.
Is that true?
Where is she, and what's her life like?
She's currently operating a nail salon in Seongbuk-gu.
I see.
Then let's go meet her.
Honorary Chairman!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
You aren't in good condition, so let me go and check first.
No.
I must meet Hyun Jung now.
Let's go.
I can't let him expose my identity.
I must stop him.
You can wait here.
Pick up your phone.
Pick up!
(Woman in a Veil)
You won't be able to find me that easily.
I'm the darkest place of them all.
Now I know that Oh Se Rin was behind this.
How am I going to find the evidence?
I got you.
This is a letter of resignation.
Se Rin and I are leaving after Ha Neul's surgery.
Tae Yang.
I'll take everything from Nam Man Joong.
