Original subtitles

Hyeon Woo...

has had a relapse.

You mean, his leukemia?

Yes.

Oh, my.

Goodness.

I think my wife had them sign here...

in exchange for Joon Seo's marrow donation.

His life depends on this.

My grandson's life.

How dare she pull a scheme with it?

I won't tolerate any longer.

Get rid of her right this instant.

So?

What did you say?

I said I would agree.

You'd never say that...

without any conditions.

What conditions can I ask for?

Can I ask her not to see Joon Seo again?

Is that it?

Even without the condition,

do you think Ji Young...

will see Joon Seo ever again?

(Episode 37)

What is it?

It's cold, isn't it?

Shall we have some hot coffee?

Is my reassignment still not canceled?

You're still on the list.

Why is he taking his time?

Do you think he's planning something?

According to his secretary,

they're going to assess the board members earlier this time.

Really?

Perhaps, he ordered it so he can reward you.

We can't let our guards down too soon.

Come on. You solved the issue regarding...

his grandson so quickly.

He'd offer you the world if he could.

- When's the date? - That hasn't been announced yet.

Tell me what it is.

Na Kyung isn't going back on her word, is she?

What about this?

Do you think I'll actually declare this?

Jae Wook.

Why do you make me out to be a horrible person?

Why does it matter what kind of person you are?

It doesn't matter to me.

Ji Young.

Does any of that matter...

if she doesn't approve of Joon Seo's donation?

Did she say she'll only agree to it if you sign this?

I know that the chairman is against this.

He isn't Joon Seo's legal guardian.

Na Kyung cannot disobey him.

He said he'll never allow it unless he has Hyeon Woo,

so I'll do as he says.

Withdraw the application immediately.

Hyeon Woo will never forgive me if he finds out.

So what if he doesn't?

We need to save him first.

I will do that, but this isn't the way to approach it.

Please don't provoke Na Kyung.

As long as Hyeon Woo lives,

I'm willing to stay away from him and Joon Seo forever.

That doesn't matter.

What matters is Hyeon Woo. Why can't you understand?

I won't do you wrong again.

Snap out of it!

Your guilt towards me doesn't mean anything.

Do you think this will help me?

How could you even think about handing this over to me?

How much more horrible do I need to become?

Don't get emotional.

Your emotions and guilt...

is of no help as of now.

Ji Young...

We just need to save Hyeon Woo.

Your acting like this will only make you an obstacle.

Just agree to it and stay out of this.

Don't try to carry the burden alone.

I know you can't live without him.

There's nothing I can't do.

Don't waste my time.

I don't have enough time to spend...

with Hyeon Woo as is.

Ji Young.

No matter what, I'll protect him...

and send Joon Seo to you as well.

Trust me.

Don't think that this is the end.

Just focus on treating him.

Don't think about...

sending Hyeon Woo or never seeing Joon Seo again.

I won't allow that.

I appreciate your words.

Make sure that document is safe with you.

Min Ho gave his life for that.

Make sure it doesn't fall through.

Hi, Mom.

- Did you have fun? - Yes.

- I'm back, Mother. - Hi.

Hey, did something happen to your father-in-law today?

Why?

He came home early and has been cooped up in his study.

I'm not sure. I don't think anything happened at work.

- Shall I check on him? - Don't.

He doesn't want anyone, even me, to enter.

I guess he's just bogged down with work.

And there's Smart City as well.

Why do you blame Smart City for his worrying?

We talked about it during our meeting.

Seung Hoon's presentation was a success,

but since it hasn't been verified, we shouldn't push it.

You were eager to support him before,

so why the change of heart?

If you act so capriciously about work,

how could Father ever trust you with the company?

- Jae Hee. - Come on.

he has given her a chance, so give her your trust.

Did you hear that?

Just do what you're told to do.

Don't go around, looking for trouble.

Later on,

please take care of my parents so that they can live well.

As long as you grow up well and do your duty,

it won't be a problem for you to take care of those...

who raised you.

Even if I'm not capable,

please promise me that you'll do it on my part.

My dream is your future.

If I can't complete this in my lifetime,

you need to carry on.

Will I be able to?

You knew that your body wasn't doing well, didn't you?

You knew all along.

Now that I've aged,

I've become slow on the uptake.

Goodness me.

Hyeon Woo.

What are you doing?

Goodness.

You're amazing.

You built an entire house just like that.

I still have more work to do.

My heart's already fluttering.

It was my dream to build my own wooden house.

Thanks to my son, my dream will be realized.

Dad, you forgot something.

What?

Where's the house that you'll live in with your love, Ji Young?

Oh, that.

That's a given, you know?

I didn't forget.

Your mom is being lazy.

She wants to eat your food.

But I can't cook well.

I'll help you out.

Okay, then.

Why did you ask him to cook?

Just in case...

he'll feel bad about not doing anything for me.

He'll do anything and everything once he has fully recovered.

- That's for another time. - All right.

Here comes Chef Song Hyeon Woo.

Please come out of the kitchen.

Goodness.

What would you like?

It's up to the chef.

Then what should your assistant do? Just say the word.

Please take out the rice.

Rice? Got it.

Here it is.

Chef, is this enough?

Sit down.

Tell me.

Are you...

preparing to say goodbye to him?

What do you mean?

I heard they agreed to Joon Seo's donation.

They did.

Then why are you asking him to suddenly cook?

And what do you mean by he'll feel bad?

Once Hyeon Woo completes his treatment,

I'm planning to send him over there.

What are you talking about?

In exchange...

for agreeing to Joon Seo's donation,

did they ask for Hyeon Woo?

Hyeon Woo's grandfather wanted him.

My goodness.

That old man plotted it.

No wonder they agreed to it so easily.

Goodness, how are they even human?

They knew that all you had in mind was saving Hyeon Woo,

and they dared to use that to their advantage?

Hyeon Woo might hear you.

You idiot.

Still, how could you agree to it?

How will you live without him?

What's there to worry about when I know he'll be alive?

I have nothing more to ask for.

They will be punished.

As soon as Hyeon Woo gets better,

I'm going to disclose everything to the entire world.

We have nothing more to ask for if he recovers.

What more do we need?

Until when will you allow them to abuse you like this?

I smell soybean stew.

Doesn't it smell good?

I can't allow that. Don't you forget that.

Goodness.

Sit.

Did you meet her?

Yes.

I think she got this...

because this document was needed for your approval.

That little...

She made me out to be an old man who used...

his own grandson in order to fulfill his own greed.

I'm sorry.

I will never forgive her.

This is not a matter of whether we can forgive her or not.

When Ji Young handed over the document,

it meant that Hyeon Woo is in a critical condition.

Take Joon Seo from her.

It'll take a while to process.

She made this deal, knowing that.

Until when will you allow her to be near Joon Seo?

I cannot allow this!

Please think in Joon Seo's shoes.

His mother means the world to him,

so how can we suddenly snatch her away?

Hyeon Woo's life is at stake right now.

Why does it matter whether or not that woman stays beside Joon Seo?

You shouldn't be hesitant about removing something that's rotting.

I am to blame for all of this.

I'll fix it.

But until then, please pretend like you know nothing.

You stupid fool!

I'm sorry.

Fine.

But don't let your mother know.

Once she finds out,

she'll be too worried.

Okay.

My, this feels nice.

Does it feel nice?

Yes, it's very warm.

I asked you if it feels nice, and you're saying it's warm.

The warm massage feels nice.

Do you want to try it too?

No, it's all yours.

Just don't get sick.

Help me up.

Okay.

Oh, boy.

Did something happen at work today?

Things always happen...

when you work.

What happened?

What's this about?

Don't get sick,

and don't grow old.

Stay just as you are now.

You can be like that if you think you can defy age.

I'm afraid I can't.

Can't you just say yes?

How could I not get sick and not even age?

Since I'm two years older than you,

I'll beat you by two years.

Who says you can do that?

I can't let anyone beat me.

Hold on. Did you receive...

an obituary of someone you know earlier today?

What? Well...

Who?

Who is it? Is it someone I know?

Let's go to bed.

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E37 A Pledge to God "Sang Chun Is Furious at Na Kyung" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

The zucchini fritters are so good.

I made it.

You passed.

The soybean paste stew is a bit too salty.

See, Dad?

I told you to go easy on the soybean paste.

It's the assistant's fault.

Gosh.

Grandma, are you not enjoying the food?

Everything is so delicious that I'm at a loss for words.

I'll cook again tomorrow for you, Grandma.

Gosh, my sweet pumpkin.

I'm so lucky to have such a sweet grandson.

- Eat up, everyone. - All right.

Did you eat, Joon Seo?

Yes, I ate.

I brushed my teeth too.

Great job, Joon Seo.

Hyeon Woo, are you not sick anymore?

Don't worry, Joon Seo.

I'm fine.

I'm relieved.

Oh, Dad is here.

Dad, Hyeon Woo isn't sick anymore.

Hi, Hyeon Woo. Everything's well with you, right?

- Yes. - Let's meet up soon.

Take care.

Good night, Joon Seo.

Yes, good night to you too.

Dad, does that mean I can now...

go visit Hyeon Woo at his place?

Joon Seo.

The thing is, Hyeon Woo hasn't fully recovered yet.

He's still sick?

Yes, but if...

there's a way for you to help him, will you help him?

If I help him,

will he fully recover?

Yes, he will.

Then I should help him, of course.

What can I do to help?

First, you'll have to go to the hospital...

for a blood test and a few other tests.

That is scary.

Right? I know.

But why does it have to be me?

Can't his mom and dad do it?

There's something the adults haven't been able to tell you.

We were going to tell you when you were a little older.

What is it?

You actually...

have a brother.

Your real big brother.

Hyeon Woo is your real brother.

Dad.

Yes, I know.

This is very sudden, so you must be really surprised to hear it.

It's true though.

That's why Hyeon Woo stayed with us.

Does that mean Hyeon Woo is also your son?

Yes, he is my son.

Then why doesn't he live with us?

When he was little,

he was separated from me.

So after that,

you married my mom?

Yes, that's right.

Can you understand these things?

A friend of mine went through that too.

His parents got divorced,

so he now lives with his stepmom.

I see.

Why didn't you tell me that I had a brother?

Even when he was here at our place,

I had no idea.

I thought we were just helping a poor family.

Right.

I was planning to tell you all about it when you were older.

If he had never gotten sick,

you would've continued to keep it from me.

Right, perhaps.

I hate you, Dad.

I know. I'm really sorry.

But I'd like you...

to help your brother.

I'll have to think about it.

Going to the hospital scares me,

and hearing that Hyeon Woo is actually my brother,

my heart feels all weird.

When did you get home?

I must've dozed off.

Joon Seo.

What's wrong, Joon Seo?

Mom...

What's the matter, Joon Seo?

Did your dad scold you?

Mom, Dad said...

that Hyeon Woo is my brother.

What exactly...

did your dad say to you?

Did he just say Hyeon Woo is your brother?

Yes. Dad said he's his son,

who was separated from him as a little boy.

Is it really true, Mom?

Things like that can happen, Joon Seo.

But it doesn't change anything, okay?

Dad said Hyeon Woo is sick...

and that I have to help him.

Your dad said that?

Why do I have to help him?

Going to the hospital scares me.

I'll take care of it.

They can't make you do that without my permission.

- Mom... - I'll make sure...

they can't inject a single needle into you.

- Mom. - It's all right.

It's okay. Everything's fine.

Don't cry.

You didn't even consult with me.

How could you go ahead and say that to Joon Seo?

I didn't feel the need to consult you beforehand.

What did you just say?

I thought...

you at least loved Joon Seo.

I never doubted it.

But now, you're...

using him to cut a deal with my father.

No mother would do such a thing.

Right there, you lost your right to be called Joon Seo's mom.

So the fact that you're using Joon Seo...

is considered love because you're doing it to save Hyeon Woo's life?

Only my qualifications are brought into question?

Why?

Joon Seo is my son, whom I raised.

You don't...

own Joon Seo.

Then what? Do you own him?

Is that why you told that little boy...

to donate his bone marrow?

Is your heart breaking, thinking it'll be painful for Joon Seo?

Is that why you're against it?

I know that's not the case.

You're using my dad to persuade Ji Young...

to get the adoption dissolution application...

so that you can bring my dad to his knees.

I absolutely can't let that happen.

From now on, I'll do things my way.

What is your way?

Are you saying you want a divorce?

I did some thinking...

and realized that it won't be a solution.

If we get a divorce,

you'll request alimony for child support.

Since you're a lawyer,

you must've already calculated how much you can get.

But what could I do?

If we get a divorce, you'll walk away with as much as you can get.

But you know what?

I don't want to give you anything.

For that reason, divorce isn't an option.

Instead,

I'll strip you of all your rights and authority...

in the company.

That I can do.

What did you say?

As of this moment,

you'll just live as Joon Seo's mom, nothing more.

Even when he's older, you won't be able to claim anything else.

How...

How could you do this to me?

You said we should suffer in misery together.

Let's do that.

My life has been nothing but pure misery...

since divorcing Ji Young,

so nothing scares me.

Honey.

The misery that you'll have to suffer...

for dreaming of a happy future as Joon Seo's mom.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to handle it...

but try and endure it.

What if...

I refuse to give consent?

What will you do then?

Then you won't be Joon Seo's mom anymore,

and I'll make sure you're ostracized in terms of your career as well.

I will...

I will make that happen.

You're so cruel.

Choose your path wisely.

The decision is yours.

(Episode 38 will air shortly.)

(Episode 38)

Who ordered tteokbokki?

Here.

(Hae Ji's Snack Foods)

What is this?

Put it here.

2 servings of tteokbokki. That's 9 dollars.

(Hae Ji's Snack Foods, 10 dollars)

I told you the expiration date had passed already.

- Let's eat this together. - No.

Give me my money.

I will if you eat with me.

Gosh, this looks good.

I'm Gyeol Ja Hae Ji.

I lied...

because I didn't want you to pity me.

Why would I?

Not all sick people are pitied.

I think they shouldn't be pitied...

but should be cheered on so they'd have courage.

That's right.

This is my thank-you gift for giving me courage, so let's eat.

Everyone dies.

Your birth may be pre-determined, but your death isn't.

You sound like my grandma.

My dad...

promised to get me something tasty...

on his way back from work one day...

but died in a hit-and-run accident.

That's when I knew...

that we couldn't predict when people died.

And I promised that I'd live every day to the fullest.

Let's hang out tomorrow.

I'm going to be hospitalized tomorrow.

Then let's hang out today.

What do you want to do?

NCD asked for too much...

when they asked to add their rights to the trade tower...

and the convention center into the investment conditions.

But Juel Company, that is in charge of real estate funds, supports them,

so I'm sure the investment company has no choice but to comply.

Reporting this to my uncle will only cause trouble.

The investment situation around the world is more severe than this.

We're on the better side.

We cannot be controlled by the funds.

Until we finalize our contract, let's review this again.

Hey.

I want you to take care of this.

Try to reduce the risk to the maximum.

Okay. I'm on it.

Order room service.

I have to be away for an hour. I have a date.

Is this too simple for a celebration?

We should celebrate once everything is finalized.

We're still reviewing the conditions.

The way I see it, you're stepping over the obstacles very well.

I want to scream my congratulations to you.

But since I can't, my throat hurts badly.

Wait a little bit more. You'll be screaming in no time.

Just hearing that makes my eyes water.

I'm so happy.

By the way,

Ma Ri is gone.

Ma Ri?

Right, that underwear shop.

Did you get dumped?

How dare she dump you? I'm baffled.

When did this happen?

After you met with her.

Did she say that?

Do you know why...

I asked you not to meddle in my dating life?

It's because I wanted to maintain a good relationship with you.

I want to live in Smart City with you.

That's my wish too.

So why do you keep interfering?

Seung Hoon.

I know your next move.

You'll show me a photo of an innocent-looking girl...

and tell me to meet her.

Did you ever once take a good look at the photos?

Those girls are much better than the ones you meet.

Will you be okay not seeing me?

What?

Until you fix your meddling habit of yours,

I might refuse to meet you again.

How could you say that to me?

Exactly.

So bring her back.

Why the school uniform?

I want to wear it to the hospital.

Thinking that this uniform would be waiting for me...

will make me cheer up.

Hyeon Woo.

All right. When you get discharged,

make sure you wear it again, okay?

I'm glad we bought a bigger size.

I think I've gained some muscles through working out.

It fits perfectly.

See? You're lucky that you listened to her.

Look at your broad shoulders. You look manly.

It looks like you're off to school.

I'll be back.

Then I'll just think that I'm sending you off to school.

Listen to your teacher, and eat well.

I will.

I'll visit you in the evening.

Okay.

Let's go.

I'm going to the hospital with Joon Seo.

I'll meet you there.

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

Turn the car around.

(Hankook Hospital)

- He gained 2kg. - Really?

My abs are gone.

You had abs? I don't recall any.

- Let me see. - Let me see.

It's long gone now.

- Then when did you have them? - I don't have them anymore.

Song Hyeon Woo.

They wanted to see you, so I gave them the address.

- Come in. - Welcome.

- Hello. - Thank you for coming.

What brings you here?

- I'm going to donate my blood. - Me too.

What?

If we're a match, we'll donate.

Hae Ji, I'd love to have you...

- as my daughter-in-law. - What?

- You'll regret it. - Why?

She doesn't listen and is as stubborn as a mule.

That hurts.

- She pinches too. - Good job.

- Thanks, guys. - Don't mention it.

I'm going to make him do errands for me once school starts.

Sure, do that.

- Sit down. - Okay.

Yes, Na Kyung.

Really?

Okay.

I'll apply for it.

Na Kyung is bringing Joon Seo here.

That's a relief.

Honey.

I won't see him.

Okay.

Do as you want.

I heard you chose a theme for the live broadcast.

You didn't even think about bringing some coffee.

I'll listen to it first then decide whether or not I'll buy some.

It's about someone I know.

Who?

That doesn't matter.

Okay. Let's hear it.

Calling Doctor Lim to the medical ward.

Hello.

I'm sure you're struggling.

I'm fine.

Hi.

Hello.

Thank you for coming.

Hyeon Woo is waiting for you. You should say hi.

Okay.

- Joon Seo! - Hyeon Woo!

Thank you for bringing him here.

I was worried he'd be uncomfortable seeing me after the treatment,

so I wanted to see him beforehand.

Why? Will you look different after the treatment?

Well, I guess a little bit compared to now.

Joon Seo knows...

that you're his brother.

Why did you tell him?

You guys can talk.

Sit down.

Okay.

You must've been shocked.

At first, it felt weird.

But I'm happy that you're my brother.

- Really? - Yes.

I've always been jealous of my friends who had brothers.

But now, my wish came true.

Mine came true as well.

I've always wanted a little brother like you.

Then we're the same.

We are.

I heard I can help you get better.

I'll do that.

No.

Don't do that.

Why? Do you not like me?

Of course, I do.

I love my brother.

Then why do you not want me to help?

Because I feel sorry.

I gave you nothing,

so how can I receive anything?

Then you can do something for me later on.

Joon Seo...

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E38 A Pledge to God "Hyeon Woo Gets Ready For Chemotherapy" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Thank you...

for bringing him here.

It's too early for me to hear that.

I still have some unfinished businesses.

Was the document...

not enough?

I guess Ji Young's gone.

Yes.

I guess she's avoiding us...

because she feels bad for Joon Seo.

You don't know how she feels.

Now that I think of it,

you and I are very similar.

What do you mean?

We're both raising kids...

who are not biologically related to us.

They say...

people like us give birth to kids through our hearts.

But those people have no idea.

No matter how much we try,

we can't become their biological parents.

It doesn't matter what others think.

If our kids give us happiness,

that's all we need.

You know what?

I'm just struggling...

to keep that happiness.

Why do we have to...

struggle so much?

It's because of those...

who think they can take things away from us...

because they're not ours.

That's what has happened to you too.

I can let go,

but you cannot.

That's the difference.

Which one of us loves our kids more?

I'm not sure.

Only we would know.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Let's sit here for a bit.

Okay.

Hello.

Doesn't it hurt?

It stung for a bit,

but I'm fine now.

Thank you.

Thank you,

and I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Hyeon Woo will get better.

Don't worry too much.

Dad.

Look, they drew my blood.

But I didn't cry.

Aren't I brave?

You are.

Come here.

Goodbye.

Go home safely.

Okay.

Thank you.

Call me when you get the result.

Okay.

Thanks to you,

the brothers had an emotional reunion.

I know they only drew his blood for today,

but I think the result will be obvious.

Joon Seo is Hyeon Woo's keeper.

I wish you were sincere.

A human's life is at stake.

I hope they match.

I mean it.

Do you know why?

Because I won't allow it.

Is this your final answer?

You lived in misery ever since you divorced her?

That just means our marriage made you miserable.

That's ridiculous.

Your misery starts now.

It's your punishment for not acknowledging my right...

as Joon Seo's mother.

I heard...

you have to go through some difficult times.

I'm sorry to have made you worry.

Why didn't you tell us?

You knew you were sick, right?

Is that why you came to us?

To show me your face for the last time?

You foolish boy.

Accepting your death...

isn't something easy to do.

Have you imagined...

how your parents would feel?

Grandpa...

Look.

Don't you ever forget that our family's blood...

runs through your veins.

Do you think it'll be that difficult for you to overcome this?

You overcame it once, so why can't you twice?

I feel the same way.

I want to overcome it.

Hyeon Woo...

I want to live.

I want to be there when you finish building your utopia.

I also want...

to build my parents a real house.

You have to.

Don't you worry. I have...

an unbelievable amount of assets.

But I'll choose you over them anytime.

Trust me...

when I say that I'll save you.

Okay?

Grandpa...

Thank you for coming.

Will he be receiving chemotherapy starting tomorrow?

Yes.

I've lived my entire life...

unafraid of anything that came my way.

But this time, I feel helpless.

I don't know how I've been so confident all these years...

when in reality, I can't even save my own grandson.

I've lived my life in vain.

Please tell me what you want.

I'll listen to you.

Please just allow him to receive his treatment.

In order to save your son,

you've struggled so much.

I...

I don't know what I've done.

Sir.

I want to live.

I want to be there when you finish building your utopia.

I also want...

to build my parents a real house.

Father.

Is Joon Seo asleep?

He had a nap earlier and hasn't gone back to bed yet.

Take Joon Seo to the main house.

What's the matter?

Now.

If it's about us two, we'll figure it out.

I started it,

so I should fix it.

Take him right now.

He said so?

Yes. He wanted to talk to Na Kyung alone.

What could it be that he'd go there...

instead of calling her here?

I know very well...

that you've been slaving away while working under me.

Father.

I know I've given you a knife and forced you to do things...

on my behalf.

You were competent.

I give you that.

But I couldn't forgive you...

when I found out that you were aiming that very knife...

towards me.

That's a misunderstanding.

I admire you.

I was more devoted to you...

because of Joon Seo.

Because I believed you'd understand.

But...

these past years of my dedication didn't mean anything to you,

and you were only fixated on kicking me out.

It's unfair.

Is that why you've put a kid at stake...

and have attempted to make a deal with me?

I've put my life on the line as well.

You can think of this as a deal.

I may be dealing with lives here,

and that may disgust you.

But if you don't accept this,

it'll be the end for me.

And the same goes for Hyeon Woo.

Both of our lives...

are in your hands.

Fine.

I have done you wrong.

I'll grant you anything...

that you want.

So please save Hyeon Woo.

Father...
