Dong Ho might have acute leukemia.

Doctor,

what are you saying?

Leukemia?

I checked the blood test,

and his white blood cell count is abnormal.

The test must be wrong.

He's never gotten sick that often, and he's been fine.

So how could he have leukemia all of a sudden?

Is it possible the white blood cell count is abnormal temporarily?

We can't completely rule out the possibility of that case,

but we should conduct...

a bone marrow examination for an accurate diagnosis.

That poor thing.

Isn't the needle too big for a little kid?

Dong Ho, it'll all be over...

after our conversation.

Do you want to lie down?

No!

I don't want to get a shot!

Dong Ho, this shot doesn't hurt.

It's all right.

Mom, you're lying!

Shots are bad. I'm scared of shots!

This won't work.

You'll have to grab him.

Okay.

- Dong Ho, I'm right here. - No, I don't want to!

This won't work.

We'll have to put him under general anesthesia...

and continue with the examination.

Yu Jung.

Dad,

it can't be, right?

Dong Ho is a brave and healthy kid, right?

Of course. It won't be.

It could turn out to be a misdiagnosis and that he's healthy.

So let's not worry about it in advance.

It seems like it's all my fault.

I didn't notice it sooner,

and that's why he's sick.

I feel so sorry for him, Dad.

What should I do?

Poor girl.

It's not your fault.

It's all right. He'll be okay.

Everything's fine.

It's all right.

Don't worry.

(Watch Shooting Stars)

Mr. Yu, I want to see the stars.

I think Min Woo would like this.

Yes, I'd like to book two people for the shooting star-watching event.

I read Mrs. Han's reply,

and she says you had a secret mistress.

And that's why she started following you.

Is that true?

I did have someone I like,

but there were no lewd behaviors.

Will it still be a problem?

It will definitely be disadvantageous to you.

Mrs. Han is refuting that you're the one to blame for the divorce.

Nonetheless, she still claims that she doesn't want to divorce you.

Then what should we do?

We should prove...

that you didn't have an affair during the marriage...

and give a rebuttal of her claim.

Please take good care of it.

This is the evidence.

Isn't this enough?

Yes.

This is good enough to prove our point.

So what happens now?

If it continues this way, the divorce suit will be dismissed.

The blameful spouse cannot file a suit for divorce.

I see.

Then please do so.

I have no intention of divorcing Seo Jun.

Come in.

At least, pretend you saw me.

I made it clear that you should talk to my lawyer first.

Seo Jun,

do you have to go through with this suit?

Yes,

so that we can break up.

But you're a smart guy.

If you've read my reply,

I'm sure you're now aware who will win the suit.

You don't stand a chance in this divorce suit.

Don't jump to conclusions yet.

We can only know who will win after the battle ends.

Do you think it'll all work out with Yu Jung...

if you divorce me?

Yes, why not?

Yu Jung...

has been seeing Chief Yu behind your back.

As long as Chief Yu is here,

she'll never see you.

Didn't I tell you just now?

Don't jump to conclusions.

The two have broken up.

Excuse me?

Yu Jung and Min Hyuk...

have broken up.

Tae Poong and Yu Jung broke up?

There's no way they would break up so easily.

Mom, how's Dong Ho doing?

- What's wrong? - How on earth could this happen?

Why? What did the doctor say?

Dong Ho...

possibly has leukemia.

Leukemia?

But...

leukemia?

He's been healthy until now.

How could this happen?

They ran a blood test, and they're suspecting it.

They can find the details...

after a bone marrow examination.

So we just saw him get the examination.

It can't be.

Dong Ho can never have leukemia.

Right, honey?

I hope so.

I really hope so.

Shouldn't we tell Tae Poong and Yu Ra that he's ill?

Why tell them when it's not certain yet?

She's right.

After we get the results,

we'll tell them.

Mom, when can I go home?

When you're not sick anymore.

I'm not sick anymore.

My nose isn't bleeding any more. So let's go home, please?

Still, we need the doctor's permission.

But I want to go home, meet Grandpa and Grandma,

and play with Uncle.

I'll ask the doctor...

about when you can go home.

Really?

Promise me.

Okay. I promise.

So let's go to sleep, all right?

Good night.

It won't be.

There's no way.

It's acute lymphocytic leukemia.

The cure rate of leukemia is quite high these days,

so it's possible he'll be cured only with chemotherapy.

You should cheer up for your child to cheer up.

We can't have you cave in.

What should I do? My poor Dong Ho.

My poor baby Dong Ho.

What's taking Yu Jung so long to hear the result?

What did he say, Yu Jung?

Dong Ho...

Dong Ho has...

What?

Speak!

So...

it's leukemia?

Yes.

Dad, what should I do?

My poor Dong Ho.

Are you sure they ran the test correctly?

He was so healthy.

But he didn't do anything wrong.

Why our Dong Ho?

Why our poor Dong Ho?

Mom...

I'm sorry?

Min Woo is?

I'll be there now.

Mr. Han.

What do you mean?

Min Woo has leukemia?

Tae Poong...

Where's Min Woo?

Is he inside?

He just went to have a test.

Doctor.

We ended our morning treatment, sir.

Let me just check one thing.

Does Dong Ho...

Does Dong Ho really have leukemia?

Who are you?

I'm Han Dong Ho's father.

Where's Tae Poong?

He went to the doctor's office to talk to the doctor.

Did Dong Ho's examination go well?

Yes.

He fell asleep right away. He must have been tired.

Tae Poong must have been shocked, right?

No doubt.

He thought he only had a bright future ahead of him...

after finally meeting his child.

Look at this mess!

He must want to talk to Dong Ho. Let's go home now.

Yu Jung,

is there anything I should bring from home for Dong Ho?

I don't know yet. I'll call you when I think of one.

I'll come back in the evening to switch with you.

I'm sure you didn't get enough sleep last night.

Okay. Go home, everyone.

Call us right away when something happens.

Bye.

Tae Poong.

You heard...

from the doctor, right?

Yes.

What do we...

What do we do with our Min Woo?

It'll be all right.

I talked to the doctor,

and though it's difficult, it's still curable.

Also,

medical technology has advanced a lot,

so the cure rate is high.

I'm sure Min Woo will get over it.

So let's brace ourselves.

Tae Poong,

I'm so sorry.

I tried to raise Min Woo well.

But...

But I'm sorry Min Woo ended up like this.

Why are you sorry?

It's not your fault.

Let me take this call.

What?

Dong Ho got leukemia?

Yes. I just got back from the hospital to pack.

Did Yu Jung quit her job because he's sick?

Oh, my.

It must be so hard for her.

Yu Myung, let me know if there's anything I can help with.

Okay. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Okay. You too.

You're here, Ms. Kang.

I'm in a hurry to go meet a client.

Would you give this to Director Cha?

Yes, sir.

Is everything okay?

Why are you sighing?

Well,

it's not about me.

Something happened to Yu Jung.

Ms. Han? What happened to her?

Her kid seems to be sick.

Ms. Han's kid?

How sick is he?

He has leukemia.

Dong Ho, do your legs hurt?

Yes, a little.

Really?

This is Ji Hoon's bed.

Ji Hoon, you look healthier than when you came before.

You're in a better condition.

Yes, I am.

Change into your patient gown and get some rest.

I'll be back later.

Okay. Thank you.

All right, Ji Hoon.

I have a friend.

Hello, I'm Jung Ji Hoon.

What's your name?

I'm Han Dong Ho.

How old are you, Dong Ho?

I'm six.

He's the same age as Ji Hoon.

Look after us while we're here.

Me as well.

Mom, I want to throw up.

Throw up?

Dong Ho.

Dong Ho, what's going on?

Bring us a doctor.

What do I do?

Are you okay, Dong Ho?

Hwa Yeon, what did Seo Jun say?

Is he really getting a divorce?

Yes.

He's determined.

Well, considering he left the house,

he must've made up his mind firmly.

What if he has someone else...

and that's why he's acting that way?

I'm right.

He left to move in with her.

I don't think so.

How do you know?

I've met her...

and she's not interested in Seo Jun at all.

Oh, dear.

Then it's just him alone?

Did you look into it?

Yes.

Ms. Han's son has acute lymphocytic leukemia.

How bad is it?

I don't know about that,

but his chemotherapy starts tomorrow.

Where is he hospitalized?

He's in the children's wing of Dr. Kim's hospital.

I know you're reporting to my mom about me.

But would you keep...

this a secret?

I'd appreciate it.

Yes, sir.

What brings you here, Seo Jun?

How's your father?

He's doing well.

How's Mrs. Han?

I asked her to stay longer, but she left in a hurry.

Did she have any aftereffects?

No. She was fine.

By the way, Dr. Kim,

I'm here to ask you a favor.

What favor?

Where's the doctor?

I've been calling him. Where is he?

He seems to have a lot of work today.

Dong Ho is throwing up and it's hard for him.

I have a lot to ask the doctor. How much longer should I wait?

What if he throws up again?

That's natural when he's on chemotherapy.

Don't worry too much.

Dong Ho, aren't you hungry?

I might throw up again if I eat.

Is he Han Dong Ho?

Yes.

I heard he keeps throwing up.

Yes, doctor.

The ingredient he took today causes vomiting.

It's a common symptom, so don't worry.

He'll be all right soon since he's given painkillers.

Okay.

If he still feels nauseous,

having ice cubes or peppermint candy...

can be helpful.

Thank you, doctor.

If he loses physical strength, he'll have trouble being on chemo.

So you should take good care of his physical strength.

Yes, doctor.

If you have any questions, call me in the director's office.

Are you the director of the hospital?

Thank you for paying attention to Dong Ho.

You and Seo Jun are old friends.

Of course, I should pay attention to you.

I'm sorry? Seo Jun?

Oh, right. He told me not to mention him.

Seo Jun!

Thank you for taking care of us.

It must be hard for you.

It's harder for him than me.

When a child is sick, the mother's energy is important.

I hope you don't get worn out.

I'm worried.

Cheer up.

Thank you.

If you need my help, don't hesitate to call me.

Isn't he alone?

Go back to him.

Aren't you the family of Mrs. Han?

What is this?

Mrs. Han left these things when she was discharged.

Her earrings and watch seemed expensive,

so I called her,

but she didn't answer.

What's this thermos bottle?

Her mother made porridge for her.

Her mother?

Are you sure it was her mother?

Yes.

She did say she was her mother.

Let me check her IV.

Start eating.

Come on.

Good.

My daughter is eating well.

Yu Ra's mother?

She definitely said she was in the US.

How did she come here?

Does the chemotherapy start tomorrow?

Yes.

I hope he can handle it.

It's going to be okay.

No. It has to.

Mr. Superman!

Dong Ho, you're still up.

I got you some gifts.

Oh, my. Thank you.

I'll be here today. You two can go home.

You?

Are you going to be okay?

I have a lot to talk about with Dong Ho...

and I want to be with him today.

Dong Ho, you don't mind being with me, right?

No, I don't.

Thank you. Call us if anything comes up.

Dong Ho, are you okay?

Does it hurt a lot?

Yes, it does.

But I like that I'm sick.

What do you mean?

I should be sick to go to the sky.

I can meet Dad if I go to the sky.

I'll hang out with him for a few days...

and come back to Mom.

I'll take pictures with Dad too.

I'll brag about it to Min Joon.

What's wrong, Mr. Yu?

You're choking me.

Mom, what's wrong with me?

Mom, look at this.

Dong Ho.

Mom.

What do I do about my hair?

I'm scared.

Dong Ho,

it's okay.

It's okay. Don't be scared.

You must be heartbroken.

Dong Ho is scared...

because he's losing his hair.

I don't know what to do.

Hair loss is one of the side effects,

he'll get his hair back in a month.

But it's better to shave his head during chemo because of germs.

Ms. Han,

you should be stronger at a time like this.

You know that, right?

Actually, it's just getting started.

You can fall apart like this.

Prepare yourself.

It must be tough for Yu Jung.

As a parent, you want to be sick instead of your kid.

I know.

If my kid gets sick,

I don't think I can work at all.

It must be too hard for a kid.

I hope he gets well soon.

It must be hard for Yu Myung to watch it too.

I called Yu Myung for that.

I told him to stay healthy...

and support Yu Jung so that she can count on him.

No. I don't want to.

Dong Ho, you should shave your head to make it less painful.

It's not painful,

so I don't need to shave my head.

Oh, my. What's this?

So cool.

How cool it is.

What?

This is Uncle Yu Myung, your favorite person.

Look. Look at his haircut.

He shaved his head like this. What do you think?

Isn't it cool?

No. It's not cool at all.

I hate you, Mom.

You won't take me home.

I want to go home.

I miss Grandma and Grandpa too.

I miss my friends as well.

I miss my friends and Ha Yul.

I'm not sick.

I'm not sick!

Did you finalize the deal with the factory?

In the process, the fabric company asked...

for a higher down payment.

It all worked out, right?

Chief Yu.

Yes, sir.

Is everything okay?

You looked distracted.

I apologize.

It seems like an urgent call.

You may leave.

I'll review it and give it back to you.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Dong Ho.

Dong Ho, look at me.

Dong Ho.

You came.

He's been like that all day.

Yu Jung, would you give us a moment?

Dong Ho.

You heard you have bad germs living in your body, right?

They could go back to your body through your hair.

That's why you should shave your head.

I don't want to shave my head.

I was going to grant you a wish...

if you shave your head.

A wish?

Yes.

What's your wish?

Can I tell you what your wish is?

You want to meet your father in the sky.

Dong Ho,

don't go to the sky.

I'll...

be your father here.

Really?

Absolutely.

Mr. Yu, keep your promise...

that you'll be my dad.

I will.

Then I'll start calling you Dad.

Dad!

Dad, give me a haircut.

Okay.

Dad will give you...

a good haircut.

(A Man in a Veil)

I wish I could be sick instead of Dong Ho.

After chemotherapy, it's going to be okay.

Let's not show the weak side of us to Dong Ho.

I'm glad he seems cheerful.

Hey, have you seen Dong Ho's father?

She seems to be hiding something.

There must be a reason why Ms. Park sent this photo to me.

Would you make Seo Jun come around, Father?

I love him so much.

Tae Poong got tested too.

Besides, Min Woo is your son.

You should save Min Woo.

Yu Ra, do you have a son?

Seo Jun.
