(January 12, 2022)

Geum Ju,

you don't have to go all out for my birthday.

Wasn't yesterday Nurse Jeong's memorial day?

(Year 1996)

- Ui Jun, are you okay? - After losing Mom, Dad became depressed

and left home, cutting off contact.

I lived alone with my grandmother.

We roamed the outskirts of Seoul

before eventually settling in her hometown, Bochun.

Hey, transfer student.

What are you doing? Get on.

Then I met you.

My dark life lit up.

I believed I'd be happy with you forever.

That was until...

my father reappeared as an alcoholic.

Let me go!

I told you, Seo Ui Jun is my son!

Sir, you can't do this here.

Bring him out! Hurry!

Ui Jun!

My son...

Please leave, Dad.

- Let go. - Please leave, Dad!

- I said let go. - Please go get treatment.

I'm perfectly fine. Why are you treating me like a patient?

Let go. Come on.

I said, let go!

That's when the nightmare began.

You bastard!

How dare you lock me up? Bastard...

You locked me up? Get over here!

- No, no... - Let's go.

No, no...

- Let go! - I prayed.

Please, let him change.

But...

my prayers weren't answered.

It was all my fault.

Why is that your fault?

I got treatment, like you said.

Trust me.

I've completely quit drinking.

I won't ever touch it again.

So...

just let me out.

I really...

want to live properly.

If only I hadn't faltered in that moment...

If only I had made a rational decision

as a doctor, not as a son...

Then, my father couldn't have come looking for me.

And Nurse Jeong might still be alive.

I thought my father would have to pay for his crime.

But instead, he got a reduced sentence

due to diminished responsibility from alcoholism.

The treatment record that came from me served as evidence.

I understand...

why people criticize me.

In the end,

I helped my father get a lighter sentence.

But that wasn't your intention.

How is that something to be criticized for?

Wait...

Is that why you quit your hospital job and came to Bochun?

Because of the criticisms?

No.

I wanted to find him.

He vanished without a trace after he was released.

Since Grandma is buried here in Bochun,

I figured he'd show up here at some point.

At the end of the day, he still needs treatment.

I can't let...

another tragedy happen.

So, that's why?

You became an alcoholism specialist

because of your dad?

You must've quit drinking for that reason, too.

But so what?

This all happened because of me.

Because of me...

Don't torment yourself like that, Ui Jun. Please?

Don't do that anymore.

(Episode 11: Untold Truth)

(Episode 11: Untold Heartfelt Sincerity)

- Aigoo. - Oh, my.

Why are you all gathered here?

Of course, we should be here for your coming home.

There's nothing more important than this.

You went through so much, Hyungnim.

- Gosh, silly me... - Stop that.

Congratulations on your discharge! Applause!

Congrats!

Thank you, everyone.

Where's Gi Beom's mom?

She said she's busy.

I see. Haven't seen her a while.

Aigoo, you'll have plenty of chances to see her.

Come inside. Let's have tea. Come in.

No, no. We should get ready for business.

We just came by to say hi.

Gosh, come in briefly for a cup of tea.

You came all this way.

Hyungnim, lie down.

Do you have coffee?

Let's have a cup of coffee.

Go in and lie down.

Your blood pressure is normal.

I'm glad.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming to check on me yourself.

Don't mention it. It's our job.

That's right.

I felt bad that I couldn't visit you

the whole time you were at the hospital.

You went through a lot.

I'm okay.

But I put others through a lot.

- Especially Geum Ju. - Gosh, here you go again.

Just focus on getting healthier.

Yes, that means you need to focus on outpatient care

and take your medication. You know that, right?

Don't worry about that. I'll take special care of her.

You care so much about her.

I plan to take extra care from now on.

I got so scared at the prospect of becoming a widower.

I can't live without her.

Stop this. Don't be silly!

Why? I'm just happy.

Look at the time.

I'll just go home from here.

Why don't you stay for dinner?

No, I have a club meeting.

Which club is it today?

Restaurant Connoisseur's Club.

I'm giddy thinking about getting takeout for Dr. Seo

at every restaurant we visit.

My goodness.

Ui Jun must feel so taken care of with you by his side.

Yes, I feel so taken care of.

Since a wonderful person like Ms. Baek is by my side.

Gosh, don't mention it.

I'll be heading out.

- Let's go together. I'll drive- - No, no.

Dr. Seo, you stay longer and take your time getting back.

I'll get going now.

Take care.

Enjoy tasty foods!

(Our Geum Ju's first day on a baby walker)

Since when were you so close to Ms. Baek?

Oh, ever since I was an intern at the university hospital.

She had just applied to work there, too.

She said we should become good friends since we started at the same time.

I'm sure many people started there together.

Why did she care so much for you in particular?

I know, huh?

I guess people just tend to like me.

Here you go again.

Fine, I'll stop.

Whoa, these are our graduation pictures.

You're so pretty.

Come on...

It's like I put a spell on you.

Yeah, I'm under your spell.

You're so pretty right now, too.

Right now?

I don't even have much makeup on right now...

Geum Ju.

Your mom wanted me to bring you this.

Oh, thanks.

Thank you.

Why are you right next to each other in this big room?

What?

We're not.

Well, we just happened to be standing together.

Oh, you're looking at a photo album! My gosh!

Right, you two took a photo together back then.

- Dad, you want to look with us? - Yeah, let's.

You've already seen all these photos. You can go down now.

There's nothing to do downstairs.

You have lots to do. Dishes, for example.

It's fine. Are you two going to do something once I leave?

What are you talking about?

Wouldn't it be nice to look at the photos together?

Dad, you've seen them all before.

Look at them later.

Gosh, I have nothing to do...

You need to do laundry, Dad! Woodworking, too.

What's with you?

What am I doing?

What is this?

What's wrong with the car?

This is the road CCTV and black box footage from the accident.

As you can see, the car didn't stop at the red light,

sped through, then crashed.

The bumper and bonnet were damaged

and the airbags were deployed.

The driver is claiming sudden unintended acceleration.

He wants to file a damages lawsuit,

so the vehicle was transferred from Myeongju Center

to headquarters for analysis.

This could affect the company's image.

Manager Han, review thoroughly without error.

Yes, I'll review it thoroughly

and discuss with the analysis and legal teams.

- Anything? - Not yet.

How about now?

Let me try.

Look. In the Seohae Bridge incident,

all signs pointed to sudden acceleration.

So, I think there might be some kind of error.

Step on it.

Stepping on it now.

Okay.

(Jeongjik Senior Care Center)

(Jeongjik Senior Care Center)

Hey! Hey!

Damn it! Hey!

Let go! No...

Let go of this...

I said let go! Let go...

What do we do?

He goes wild whenever he's conscious.

First, sedate him.

Until he calms down.

Your son...

came by today.

What a shame.

I could've killed you before his very eyes.

If you weren't in this state...

Yes, Detective.

Sorry for my late response.

I met the nurse you mentioned, Oh Myeong Hee.

No, she didn't know anything.

It's okay.

Please continue to do so.

If you find someone who might know where my father is, let me know.

Yes.

Okay.

A nurse?

Yes.

She took care of my father while he was incarcerated.

She said she hadn't heard anything since his release.

Goodness.

You must have been very disappointed.

Yes...

But...

do you really need to keep searching for him?

If he were to come back, he would've done so by now.

If he could be found, you'd have found him already.

I told you already.

You should let it go now.

And live happily.

Is that...

undeniably the right answer?

What?

That nurse said something similar.

Maybe you know her.

I looked into her background,

and you were college classmates.

Her name is Oh Myeong Hee.

Oh Myeong Hee?

I'm not sure.

Doesn't ring a bell...

Back then, I was really shy and introverted.

I mostly kept to myself.

Really?

Yes.

Hard to believe, seeing you now.

Right?

Wait. Come on.

Let's eat together when Seon Uk gets here.

What took you so long? The food's cold now!

I can eat now, right?

Please convince Hyeon Ju for me.

She told Master Kim that Woo Ri and Na Rah are quitting taekwondo.

Please convince her to stay.

Why are you asking Seon Hwa to convince her?

Because she won't take my calls!

- That's why you- - Why should I convince her?

They can quit a sport whenever they want.

But they love it, and they're really good.

It'd be a shame if they quit now.

So, will you shut down without them? Will you die?

You need to let it go. Clean and simple. End it!

You hopeless idiot.

Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? Aren't you eating?

Leave him.

Good riddance. I couldn't stand the sight of him. Let's just eat.

How long will you pretend not to know?

Until I die.

- What? - He was too drunk

to remember anything from that day.

If I get involved now,

I'll just end up reigniting it.

Better to let it die out.

Will it die out? It's life or death for him.

I said leave it. It takes two to tango.

I told you. I'm done with Hyeon Ju for good.

She and I are done.

You should act like you don't know anything.

Business trip? On a weekend?

Yeah, it worked out that way.

I'm overseeing an analysis of a car with an acceleration issue.

The inspection results showed it wasn't a vehicle defect,

so I'll go and deliver the news in person.

- Is that standard? - Not necessarily.

But that driver's livelihood depends on it.

If I don't explain it clearly in person,

I don't think he'd readily accept his fault.

I also have to report it to the CEO.

It's a nursing home van.

- A nursing home? - Yeah.

It's in Myeongju.

Myeongju?

By chance,

is it Jeongjik Nursing Home?

What? You know that place?

Yeah, I went there once.

A sunbae mentioned he saw my father there.

I don't think we've had anyone like him.

I see...

Gosh, if only my lunch with the clinic director wasn't scheduled,

I would've come with you.

It's okay.

Don't worry about me, and take care of business.

Will do.

Geum Ju, do you want more?

Sure, thank you.

Ui Jun, where's your phone charger?

Hold on, I'll bring it to you.

Where is it? I'll just go get it.

You sure?

It's in the desk drawer over there.

Okay.

(I love you, Han Geum Ju)

Geum Ju, wait...

No, no, not that...

What's this? When did you get it?

A while ago. Back in college.

What? Really?

Then, why do you still have it without giving it to me?

It's not that I didn't want to. I couldn't.

Why not?

Anyway, this is really old.

I'll buy you a better one.

Why? I really like it.

Here, put it on for me.

- Let me get you something nicer... - Come on.

Just put it on.

What do you think? Is it pretty?

Yeah, it's pretty.

There we go.

So pretty.

I like this necklace.

No, you. Not the necklace.

Han Geum Ju.

You're pretty.

What the?

Gosh, you're so in love...

Thanks.

Looks good on you.

Really?

It's so pretty.

We're closed...

Hyungnim.

What brings you all the way here?

What do you mean?

How come it's so hard to see you?

Didn't you miss me?

I came here to see you because I missed you.

What? Me?

Did you really miss me?

Yes.

Why would you miss someone like me?

You should've taken this chance to cut me off for good.

What's going on?

Why are you acting like this?

I'm sorry, Hyungnim.

To be honest,

I've been avoiding you on purpose.

- What? - I thought seeing me

would stress you out and slow down your recovery.

So, I stayed away on purpose.

I've been nothing but nasty to you.

All I ever did was say things that got on your nerves.

So, why do you always say things that get on my nerves?

I'm sorry, Hyungnim.

It's because I'm twisted inside.

(Gyeongju Hotel)

(March 1990)

His friends followed us all the way to our honeymoon.

He said he'll just be a moment with them,

but he came back at sunrise.

Excuse me?

Noonim...

Gwang Ok noonim...

Gwang Ok noonim...

I ended up getting married

without ever confessing my feelings for you.

And not long after that,

I overheard his drunk friends saying

you were his first love.

Hyungnim, where are you headed?

Oh, to meet a friend.

How do I look?

You look like a young lady!

I almost didn't recognize you.

- Take care. - Bye.

He said he couldn't marry you anyway,

so he might as well marry just anyone.

And that "anyone" happened to be me, his next blind date.

Pathetic, right?

That one comment stuck with me forever,

and I took it out on you,

who did nothing wrong.

Gosh, unbelievable.

Hyungnim, I'm sorry.

I committed an unforgivable sin.

No, I'm talking about Gi Beom's dad.

- What? - It's not like we ever dated.

What was he thinking?

How did you manage? You kept that bottled up all this time?

If it were me, I'd have flipped out long ago.

- Hyungnim... - If something like that happens again,

tell me instead of suffering alone.

If Gi Beom or his dad gives you grief,

this Kim Gwang Ok won't sit still.

Hyungnim, thank you...

Please don't get sick again.

I'll spend the rest of my life

making up for everything I did wrong.

Just pay back what you owe.

Of course!

(Seon Hwa, I'm sorry.)

(If you don't want to see me, could you at least answer your phone?)

(I'll wait. Any time is fine. Please call me.)

(I don't want to lose you like this, Seon Hwa…)

Seon Hwa didn't even read your messages.

When did you get here?

You didn't even notice me come in.

You have a lot on your mind, huh?

Want me to talk to Seon Hwa?

No.

She must feel so betrayed.

Yet, she put aside her feelings,

and made food for Mom and helped her get discharged.

What did I do to her?

It's not like you kept it from her on purpose.

You said you meant to end it before she found out.

Just wait. Seeing how torn up you are,

Seon Hwa will see your truth.

Let's give it time.

Yeah.

What's this? Haven't seen this before.

Did you get it from Ui Jun?

Yes.

It's pretty. Looks good on you.

- Sorry. - About what?

You're in hell, but I'm happy like this...

Stop it.

Why would you feel guilty around me?

Enjoy your happiness.

It's the best time right now.

Thanks.

Gosh, seriously. What's this?

We can't even drown our feelings in liquor like we used to.

Right? We've really come a long way.

Who would've thought we'd be sober at this hour?

I know, right? Is it okay to be this wholesome?

Hey, stop it.

Go upstairs and get some rest. You must be tired.

Okay. You rest, too.

Got it.

- Heading up. - Okay.

(Bong Seon Uk)

(Bong Seon Uk)

The customer is not answering the phone.

I'm hungry. Let's get some udon before we go home.

No, I'm drinking tonight.

I can't deal with this sober.

What, drinking again?

What drunken disaster do you plan to cause this time?

What disaster?

You said you picked me up asleep at the bar.

Sure, up till then.

But what happened after? It was total chaos.

Bong Seon Uk, we're here. Wake up.

Bong Seon Uk! Snap out of it!

Where do you think you're going?

Where are you going?

Let go of me!

Let go, you jerk!

Let go while I'm still being nice.

I didn't get my black belt in taekwondo

to show off in situations like this.

Let go before I count to three.

Or you're seriously going to get hurt.

One.

Two.

Three!

Hey.

Hey, hey. Bong Seon Uk. Are you okay?

- Huh? - You're not okay, right?

Hurts like hell, right?

That's why you don't mess with a black belt.

Yeah, you're a black belt, alright.

You went down with one hit.

Nonsense. Are you writing fiction now?

Gunning for the next Nobel Prize in Literature?

Trying to be the second Korean to win it?

No, I'm serious.

Hey, you!

I'm a man armed with the taekwondo spirit.

Even drunk,

I'm an unshakable martial artist.

Yeah, a martial artist. A savage martial artist.

You were a total disaster, you asshole brother-in-law.

Whatever, you asshole brother-in-law.

- I'm out of here. - You'd better not drink!

If you get wasted and go to Hyeon Ju again,

you'll be a full-blown disaster-

"Again"?

What do you mean?

Did I go see Hyeon Ju while I was drunk?

Shit. Yeah.

Seon Hwa called me and said you made a scene and passed out.

What?

From Noona?

Yeah. She already knew about you and Hyeon Ju.

And that night,

she told Hyeon Ju never to see you and cut ties with her.

What?

Please, come to your senses, man.

This makes no sense.

You shattered their friendship.

Where's my sister right now?

What will you do now?

Hold back.

If you tell Seon Hwa, I'm dead.

I asked you where my sister is right now.

Whoa, what's with all this herbal medicine?

He used to drink like a whale and be totally fine.

But he must need a health boost, seeing how he blacked out.

Wow, daebak.

He's so lucky.

- To have a sister like you. - Goodness.

I'll leave it in the fridge. Make sure he takes it.

Gosh, he won't take it unless someone gives it to him.

- Okay. - Thank you.

(Bochun Taekwondo) Whoa, isn't this the uniform we made five years ago?

It's time to throw it out.

What's wrong with it? It's still great!

Plus, I'm poor.

What are you saying? If you have money for medicine,

you can buy a few jackets.

Gosh, whatever.

What is she thinking?

(Director Oh Myeong Hee) As you'll see in the report,

there was no problem with the brakes.

But if you check the CCTV footage from the accident,

you'll notice the brake lights never turned on.

The analysis shows

the driver was only pressing the accelerator, not the brake.

- What? - It seems the driver mistook

the accelerator for the brake

and kept pressing and releasing it.

I explained everything in person,

and he admitted it was his mistake.

But how does such an experienced driver

make such a mistake?

Even seasoned drivers can

make cognitive errors under pressure.

I see...

- I'm glad it didn't turn into a huge accident. - Yes.

Any idea when the car will be repaired?

We've been investigating thus far.

So, it may take a while once we start the repair.

But to avoid disruption at the nursing home,

the company will support you with a replacement vehicle.

I already parked it outside.

What? Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

I heard you take care of ill, displaced elders here for free.

We consider it a donation to a good cause.

Really, thank you.

Sure...

I wish he was here.

(Missed Call - Ui Jun)

(Ui Jun)

Yes, Ui Jun.

Sorry, I fell asleep for a second.

I'm on my way on the bus.

What? Where?

My meeting with the director got canceled, so I came to pick you up.

What do we do?

You came all that way for nothing.

It's okay. I'll catch up quickly.

See you in Bochun.

Okay.

Director.

Should we go pick them up?

Go ahead.

And escort the guardian as well.

Nurse?

Oh, so the mechanic was your friend...

What a coincidence.

Right...

So, you're the director here?

You told me you're retired.

I am retired.

I'm just helping out temporarily at a friend's request.

By the way,

still no word from your father?

No.

That's too bad...

Just a moment.

I'm with someone.

I'll call you later.

Ms. Baek, are you at the Bochun Terminal right now?

I thought I just saw you, but I don't see you anymore.

Of course, you don't see me.

I'm in Seoul.

Oh, I see...

I guess I saw it wrong.

Why are you in Seoul-

Oh, yes.

The Restaurant Connoisseur Club I mentioned the other day.

We're meeting up in Seoul today.

(Director Oh)

Oh, my. The club members are calling me.

I'll call you back later.

(Bochun - Myeongju)

I saw your father there.

It's been a while since I've been in touch with people there.

I've been retired and living in the countryside,

and it's been a while since I stopped volunteering.

I am retired.

I'm just helping out temporarily at a friend's request.

Call me once you arrive in Bochun.

(Jeongjik Senior Care Center)

So?

Han Geum Ju won't be back, will she?

Of course not.

Who knew those two were friends?

I had no idea and freaked out, thinking Dr. Seo had figured it out.

No way.

Did he get suspicious seeing you here?

I think I warded off his suspicion.

But seriously,

how long will you leave him like that?

(Welcome back, Madam Kim Gwang Ok!)

(We're proud of you for beating illness!)

Gosh, what is all this?

And that? How embarrassing.

What are you talking about? This is nothing!

We were about to bring in a full festival band but decided not to.

Don't even get me started.

She insisted on cooking something for your hospital discharge.

Gi Beom's mom arranged this gathering.

Really? Thank you so much.

Don't mention it. Eat up, Hyungnim.

- Yes, yes. Let's all eat. - Yes.

Let's see...

So delicious. So tender!

Even the smell is amazing.

Right?

How come there's no liquor on such a joyful occasion?

Hey, what are you doing? Go grab some drinks!

Didn't you hear? Liquor is banned here.

What? That's like a cart without wheels.

How can you ban liquor at a joyful gathering like this?

Shut your mouth before I sew it shut!

We're here to celebrate Hyungnim's health.

How dare you whine about booze?

I second that!

You should quit, too. From what I saw at the hospital,

alcohol is the root of all illness.

All injuries and ailments...

Liquor is behind it all.

If you want to live long, quit drinking!

But then, why did Hyungnim get sick?

When she doesn't drink at all?

- What? - It makes no sense.

Hyungnim, you know what this is?

A hasty generalization fallacy.

Whoa.

You got smart while I was at the hospital.

- Did you go to college or something? - I've always been smart.

And from what I can tell, she got sick from stress.

What did you say?

You and the kids stressed her out big time.

That stress became illness.

That's why I can't quit drinking.

Drinking relieves stress

and improves my health.

That's hot!

- Why did you do that? - Why do you think?

You're my stress!

The root of all illness!

Shut your mouth and eat!

How do I eat if I shut my mouth?

Shut up!

Do what your wife says.

From now on, listen to her, or I won't stay quiet.

Got it?

Wait, w-why do you say that to me, too?

Seriously...

Where are Seon Hwa's?

Gosh, I told her to come on time…

Sorry we're late.

Hello.

Come on in.

Ma'am, are you feeling better?

Sorry we didn't come see you after you were discharged.

Was the trip back to Bochun okay?

Yeah. It was okay.

How come you're here alone? Where's Seon Hwa?

She had a prior engagement. She said she'd visit separately.

That's odd.

She never misses anything involving you.

Seon Hwa prioritizes you over her own mother-in-law.

Come on.

I'm just saying.

She'd drop everything and rush over barefoot,

but she's not here.

Stop. Maybe she doesn't want to see you.

What?

That's enough. Don't worry about it.

Eat, eat, eat.

Totally crazy.

Just drop it.

Yes, Jeong Eun's mom.

Thank you always.

For letting Woo Ri and Na Rah play at your house.

No, I'll feed them dinner at home.

I'll pick them up soon.

Yes.

I heard.

I'm sorry, Noona.

I can't forgive myself, either.

I despise people who get blackout drunk and cause a scene.

And I became that person.

I don't know how I can face you anymore.

I don't deserve to.

I'll give up completely.

Okay. Good thinking.

But let me ask you a favor.

I hope you can understand my sister.

You know better than anyone.

When it comes to anything involving me, she gets crazy serious.

You don't need to forgive me since I caused all this.

But I hope you forgive my sister

and go back to how things were before.

There's nothing for me to forgive.

It's all my fault...

No,

it's all my fault.

Your parents are the only people my sister has in this world to rely on.

And you're the only friend she shares her true feelings with.

I worry she'll get too lonely

if you grow apart.

I'm sorry to ask this of you,

but please.

The Restaurant Connoisseur Club I mentioned the other day.

We're meeting up in Seoul today.

(Restaurant Connoisseur Club)

What is this?

(Restaurant Connoisseur Club is closed as of October 1, 2023)

There's a club like this, too? (Baeksang Art Award Table Setting)

Yes, to serve someone with artful table settings

brings great joy.

Leonardo Tee Couple-io?

I thought of you two with each stitch.

It made me so happy.

(Important: Club permanently closed)

Looking down on Earth from up above

brings me so much happiness.

I'm a martial artist.

I belong to quite a few groups.

(This cafe is currently inactive)

(Important: Club permanently closed)

(Closed)

I just arrived.

Sorry I'm late.

No, it's okay.

By the way, Ms. Baek...

I saw her at the terminal earlier.

Yes, I feel so taken care of.

Since a wonderful person like Ms. Baek is by my side.

Get some sleep. Sweet dreams.

By the way, still no word from your father?

No.

That's too bad...

(Hye Mi)

(Hye Mi)

(Head Nurse Baek Hye Mi)

Oh Myeong Hee?

I'm not sure.

Doesn't ring a bell...

No.

She's not a liar.

(Head Nurse Baek Hye Mi)

(Seoyeon University Hospital)

Call me after the check-up.

I just got done.

No side effects from the surgery,

and they complimented me for taking care of myself.

Do you think Han Geum Ju

knows what happened and still seeing Dr. Seo?

No way. Someone died because of that guy.

If she knew, she'd be totally turned off, right?

Right. But did you hear?

Head Nurse Baek Hye Mi is working with Dr. Seo.

I know. Of all people, how could she take care of that man?

- Have some. - Pardon?

I said eat.

You always seem bored,

chewing out people who aren't here whenever I see you.

Saying someone died because of Ui Jun makes no sense.

How is it Ui Jun's fault?

Don't talk so carelessly about others. Got it?

So you knew about that incident?

Ui Jun didn't make the wrong call.

Given his father's condition at the time,

any doctor would've discharged him.

It breaks my heart that he still blames himself.

I'm glad you're by his side, Geum Ju.

I thought Ms. Baek was the only one he could lean on.

Speaking of Ms. Baek...

What kind of person is she?

She and Ui Jun are close,

but I always feel a bit...

distant from her.

That makes sense.

She's kind to everyone

but doesn't open up easily.

Even here at the hospital,

she was only close to a select few.

Dr. Seo and the late Nurse Jeong were among the few.

Nurse Jeong?

Yes, she was her only hoobae here from the same university.

She helped her adjust when she transferred here.

Ms. Baek must've been very grateful to her.

She cared as much for her as she cared for Ui Jun.

But even if they were close,

after what happened, you'd think she'd blame Dr. Seo

and cut ties like everyone else.

How amazing that she went all the way to Bochun to look after him?

She must've hated

even looking at Ui Jun if she thought of the late Nurse Jeong.

Apparently, she felt very guilty.

She was supposed to be

on duty on the day of the accident, but she swapped shifts

with Nurse Jeong.

What?

(Seoyeon University Hospital: Most Compassionate Medical Staff)

She cared a lot for her. (2021: Baek Hye Mi / Jeong Seon Mi)

She must've hated

even looking at Ui Jun if she thought of the late Nurse Jeong.

Apparently, she felt very guilty.

(Baek Hye Mi / Jeong Seon Mi)

It's Baek Hye Mi.

The actual owner of Jeongjik Nursing Home.

What?

Detective, what do you...

We looked into Jeongjik Nursing Home as you asked.

It's owned by Baekho Foundation.

Recently, it was passed down

to their only daughter, Baek Hye Mi.

Check it out yourself.

If only he'd sleep quietly like this all the time...

(Jeongjik Nursing Home)

Hello? Yes, Doctor.

Where are you? We need to talk.

Sorry.

I'm in Seoul for a club meeting right now.

Why?

Why did you lie to me?

What are you hiding?

Could it be...

Is my father here?

Is he?

You bastard.

So, you came crawling back.

Die.

Die, you bastard!

- Die! - Please stop!

Why are you doing this to me?

Why must you go this far?

Torturing you...

and killing you...

is the greatest revenge I can take on her.

What are you saying?

Die...

Die!

Ms. Baek...

You bastard...

Ms. Baek!

What do we...

Stay with me.

Ms. Baek...

Yes...

Your son came by today.

What a shame.

I could've killed you before his very eyes.

If you weren't in this state...

But that won't ever happen.

You'll die here, understand?

There's nothing I won't do.

Nothing I wouldn't do...

for my son, Seo Ui Jun.

Ms. Baek!

Ms. Baek!

Ms. Baek!

Ms. Baek!

Please wake up!

Please!

(Epilogue) Wow, these are...

These are our graduation pictures.

(Congratulations to the 24th graduating class of Bochun High School)

This one's pretty.

They're all 10,000 won.

Let's pick one more for Ui Jun.

How about this one for Ui Jun?

- This one? - This one's pretty, too.

Go pay for it.

Me?

- Sir. - Yes?

These two, please.

It's okay. They've already been paid for.

- These? - Yes.

Who paid?

That lady over there in the red coat already paid for them.

- Really? - Yes.

One, two, three.

- Again, again. One, two, three... - Smile, smile.

How is it? Let me see.

Came out nice!

Looks good. Right?

Looks good, right?

Should we take another one?

Let's stop with the photos and get going.

Let's go eat.

Can I get a vertical photo, too?

(Second Shot at Love)

If only I could be by your side,

I thought you never had to find out who I really am.

It's all my fault.

He must be so nervous.

His father, the source of things bad, still hasn't been found.

Where could he possibly be?

We need to find him quickly.

Only then will Ui Jun feel at ease.

I'm sorry.

I was worried you'd be in danger, too.

I was worried about you.

I don't know how to handle this anymore.
