Original subtitles

It's my fault.

I'll do anything...

you want.

Please help Hyeon Woo.

Father.

What do you want me to do?

Please accept me as Joon Seo's mother.

I'll have all the rights...

to Joon Seo.

Including custody.

Okay.

I won't argue about it.

And please guarantee...

my position at the company.

Okay.

But I can be kicked out any time.

I want to be the board director.

And secure my shares.

But if you want to get all this,

Joon Seo must...

donate his bone marrow to Hyeon Woo.

If situations don't allow him to donate,

or you don't give your consent,

the promise will be broken immediately.

Okay, Father.

Let's do that then.

I'll do things accordingly.

Thank you, Father.

I will assist you...

with all my heart.

Why would you go to the hospital for a blood test?

Hyeon Woo is sick,

so they said I need to help him.

What are you talking about?

Why is Hyeon Woo sick?

He's in the hospital now.

What?

Jae Wook.

What is Joon Seo talking about?

Did his leukemia relapse?

Why would you say that?

Joon Seo, it's been a long day for you.

Do you want to sleep in Grandpa's room?

Yes, Dad.

I'm sleepy.

Okay. Go to bed now.

Okay.

- Good night. - Okay. Good night.

I didn't want to surprise you, so I didn't tell you.

So is it true he relapsed?

- Yes. - Gosh.

My gosh, what do we do?

Is there a way?

He will get better if Joon Seo donates his bone marrow.

Gosh, those poor little things.

That's why Na Kyung is...

revived again.

So is she negotiating with Dad about it?

She will agree to donate Joon Seo's bone marrow...

if she gets everything she wants?

Hyeon Woo's treatment comes first.

You should tell Joon Seo everything.

His real mother is...

Hey. Gosh.

He's in the room. Watch your mouth.

How long are you going to hide it?

We should just reveal everything...

and kick her out.

Don't get her everything she wants.

Don't make a fuss about it.

Honey. About Hyeon Woo...

Don't worry. Hyeon Woo will be fine.

Did Na Kyung threaten you?

Did she ask you to reinstate her to save Hyeon Woo's life?

If you can't do anything for Hyeon Woo, keep your mouth shut.

Dad.

Come to my room.

When you get to your office tomorrow,

reinstate your wife...

and register her as a board director.

And secure her shares...

with mine.

Did she ask for shares...

with Hyeon Woo's treatment?

Hyeon Woo says...

he wants to live.

Did he really say that?

Yes.

He's such a brave boy,

but he told me he wants to live.

He must've wanted to say that so much.

There's nothing I can't do...

when my grandson says he wants to live.

Get your wife everything she wants.

But it only happens when Joon Seo saves Hyeon Woo's life.

If she messes with us using Joon Seo again,

she will be kicked out empty-handed.

You have to add that and have it notarized.

And include it in my will.

Okay.

You should get ready...

to take over the company.

Dad.

I want to retire.

Once Hyeon Woo makes a full recovery,

I will just go someplace nice with your mom and fish.

I'm not ready, Dad.

I believe you'll do a good job.

Strengthen the basis...

of Cheonji Group so it can last...

for decades and hundreds of years.

For your children.

I'll do that.

Don't let down your guard against your wife.

You have to make sure she doesn't get more than what she has now.

Only then you can protect your children.

You won, but why are you crying?

So people like me...

had to do this.

It makes me sad.

I've worked so hard for this family the whole time.

But I got thrown away overnight...

feeling so miserable.

Eventually,

you made me a pathetic mother...

who uses her own son.

If you didn't come this far taking advantage of it,

I would've protected you.

It's you who threw away your chance.

Do you want me to believe you?

I was abandoned by my parents.

Even my parents abandoned me.

How can I trust others?

Don't make excuses.

You used Joon Seo to fulfill your selfish desires.

If I were from a rich family, you wouldn't have done this to me.

I'm all alone.

You've always had me on a string.

That's who I am.

You made me a miserable mother...

who takes advantage of her own son.

To get my revenge,

I'll get everything I can get.

You heard from Father, right?

Register me as a board director...

and secure my shares.

Do everything you can.

If you ever mess with us using Joon Seo,

you will lose everything you have.

We will have this condition.

You're being so cold-hearted to your wife.

It's you who wanted to make a deal.

Okay.

You can have any condition you want.

I will accept it.

Now that we reached an agreement,

do you want to have some drink with me?

Are you worried?

It will be hard,

but your mom and dad are here.

Dad.

Yes?

Can I ask you for a favor?

Sure.

There's nothing I can't do for you.

What is it?

Once I start chemotherapy tomorrow,

I won't be able to meet people.

Still, you can do this.

I'll try my best.

Okay.

So what do you want to ask?

Joon Seo's dad.

Can I see him before the chemotherapy?

- Hyeon Woo. - I have something to tell him.

Okay.

I haven't...

thought about it.

I'm sorry, Dad.

What are you talking about?

What are you sorry for?

(Mr. Song)

It's me.

I know it's late,

but can you come to the hospital for a moment?

What's the matter?

Hyeon Woo...

wants to see you.

You're here.

Thank you for calling me.

Hyeon Woo is starting chemotherapy tomorrow.

He wants to meet you before that.

Okay.

You can go in.

You're here.

How are you feeling?

To be honest,

I'm nervous.

It's worse because I know what it's like.

Okay. I understand.

But you already overcame it once.

So I believe you will do that again.

I'm sorry I didn't call you Dad.

No. It's okay.

Don't feel that way.

You have nothing to be sorry about. It's all my fault.

I thought about my real dad a lot.

And I wanted to see him.

Hyeon Woo.

I said so many bad things to you.

I didn't mean it though.

Please forget about it.

To be honest,

I was glad you said that.

You came to me...

and stayed with me for a few days. Thank you for that.

That's the best gift...

that you gave to me.

I'm glad I did that.

You said that before.

If we make a promise,

it will give us hope to meet again.

I...

didn't forget our promise that we'll go to see Gaudi together.

Me too.

We'll do that.

I want Joon Seo to come with us.

Okay. Let's do that. That would be even better.

Joon Seo will love that.

We'll go there together.

Please tell Joon Seo thank you.

I was sorry to ask to be in his debt again,

so I didn't want his help.

Don't feel that way.

He must've wanted to help his brother.

Okay.

I feel sleepy now.

All right. Sleep.

Bye.

Okay. Good night. Sweet dreams.

Okay.

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E39 A Pledge to God "Na Kyung Gets What She Wants" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Don't worry too much.

You're going through all that again.

I'm sorry that I can't help you.

You told Joon Seo that Hyeon Woo is his brother.

Thank you.

I didn't know he'd take it so well.

If I knew it,

I would've done that when he came to my place.

That's why I feel relieved.

I believe Hyeon Woo will be doing well with your family.

Ji Young. That's...

I have to keep my promise.

Only then I have the right to pray for Hyeon Woo.

Once I send Hyeon Woo off,

I'll travel around with my husband.

So don't worry about us.

Forget about us.

Just think about Hyeon Woo.

Do you think Hyeon Woo can live without you?

He has Joon Seo.

And you.

And Na Kyung...

will take good care of him.

Just like she did Joon Seo.

Don't think that you'll be separated from your children.

I'll never let it happen.

I'm willing to do this for them.

As long as they're alive.

I'll gladly say goodbye to them.

Ji Young.

We'll begin the chemotherapy.

(Director Woo Na Kyung)

Congratulations on your reinstatement, Director Woo.

This isn't anything to celebrate.

I'm just back to my seat.

I heard you're getting the shares too.

Then you will be involved in management too.

And soon enough,

you'll be the vice chairman?

Gosh, Vice Chairman.

- Vice Chairman? - Gosh, you startled me.

What game are you playing?

Ms. Oh was just joking.

Never mind.

What a ridiculous joke.

Vice Chairman of Cheonji Group...

isn't something you can't joke about.

I'm sorry.

I was just talking about a dream I had last night.

Then I should get going.

So you had connections with Dad.

And you're back as the director.

So Ms. Oh had a dream...

where you became the vice president?

That's interesting.

Why don't you pay more attention to Seung Hoon instead?

While I was away,

he signed an interesting investment contract.

So?

Just like Ms. Oh's dream, if I become the vice president,

I'll help Seung Hoon a lot.

I'm sorry that it was just a dream.

Hyeon Woo shares my bloodline, and I care about him.

So I will have to let you off this time.

But I will never let you walk all over me.

I don't need you to let me off.

Do I have to tell you this?

What's so great about having a son?

He's not even your son after all.

(Recipient Song Hyeon Woo, Donor Kim Joon Seo)

That's too bad.

Joon Seo's bone marrow...

doesn't match 100 percent. It's only 50 percent.

Then he can't donate his bone marrow?

He can do that,

but there might be side effects.

You treated Hyeon Woo with Joon Seo's cord blood.

Cord blood and bone marrow are different.

Cord blood works well even when it matches only 50 percent.

But it's hard to get bone marrow engrafted.

Still,

there's no other way, right?

Right.

We don't have a donor who matches 100 percent.

This is the best we can do.

Even if there are side effects,

Hyeon Woo will be fine, right?

I'll try my best not to make it happen.

Then we will leave it to up above.

Don't worry too much.

I mean, they are brothers.

There won't be any side effects.

Okay.

Let's cheer up.

Oh, right. You should go to work.

I'll go see Hyeon Woo before that.

I'm going to work.

Good luck with the shooting.

Don't make any mistakes.

It's fun to make mistakes.

People laugh and it makes me feel relaxed.

I see.

Get some good sleep and I'll be back.

I sleep so much that I feel like a pig.

You're very smart.

You're so cool, sweetheart.

You look pretty too.

Ji Young.

- Ji Young. - Joo Ryun.

It must be hard.

Hyeon Woo is doing well, so I'm okay.

I heard about your son from Joo Ryun.

I can't help you with anything,

but I'll support you with my heart.

Thank you.

The concept of the live show is...

is about donors. Can you really do this?

- Is it fixed? - I showed my approval so far,

but I wanted to ask your opinion before reporting it to the director.

It's always good to have a show like that,

but I have my own issue,

so people might think it's a special favor.

I heard Hyeon Woo already found a donor.

Not yet.

Why? Na Kyung...

She won't give her consent?

What are you guys talking about?

Thank you. I was going to buy it.

How can you even buy coffee now?

Once Hyeon Woo gets better,

I'll let you buy me a meal.

Okay.

By the way,

why did you say you didn't find a donor yet?

We got the test results of Joon Seo.

Is there anything wrong?

It matches 50 percent.

It matches only 50 percent?

Yes.

If we go with that,

there might be side effects.

So?

Joon Seo can't donate his bone marrow?

How can you say that now?

Why are you so startled?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Joon Seo is very excited to help his brother.

We even told Joon Seo that Hyeon Woo is his brother for this.

Do you think this is a joke?

Do you think I'll break the promise...

if Joon Seo doesn't donate it? Is that why?

Whatever the result is,

I can't see Joon Seo anymore.

Do you think that's the problem now?

What is it then?

I'm worried if we can't find a donor for Hyeon Woo.

Do you know how much Father and Mother are...

worried about Hyeon Woo?

I wish we could find a donor...

who matches 100 percent.

But I'm still thankful that Joon Seo matches 50 percent.

He's the best option for Hyeon Woo now.

It will be okay.

They are brothers.

I'm sure they will match. Don't worry.

Thank you.

I know it's hard.

Pull yourself together for Hyeon Woo.

I will.

(Episode 40 will air shortly.)

(Episode 40)

Using connections is dangerous with investments.

You think you can trust them, don't you?

Things go wrong because of personal issues in most cases.

You have to be thorough and approach with a business mindset.

Give what you have to give, and take what you have to take.

Be precise.

I'm aware of it.

When Cheonji Group took over my dad's company,

we experienced this.

Right.

I know you have a lot in mind regarding that issue.

Your dad's family used to own that property,

so I think it's commendable...

for you to have your dream come true there.

I want to back you up too.

Thank you.

That's why you must be more cold-headed.

Too much greed could hinder your judgment.

That's when you make a mistake.

I won't make any mistakes.

All right.

Compare the situations before and after the condition change.

Submit a report about it to me.

Okay.

Oh, right. I heard about Hyeon Woo.

That he's under chemotherapy.

Right.

I'd like to go see him.

Will it make him uncomfortable?

We'll see how things go.

All right.

Come tomorrow.

I was about to head there now though.

Hyeon Woo is uncomfortable...

even with meeting other people.

Goodness. I bet he is.

Okay.

When you do come, bring me some clothes to change into.

Okay.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Tell me if you find anything uncomfortable.

What do you want to eat?

Isn't it good?

What's wrong? Wait.

Here.

It's all right.

I'll give you an anesthetic now. It will sting a bit.

Our architecture class will be ending next week.

- Has it been of help? - Yes.

I wish this class has helped you...

step a foot closer to your dream.

One more thing. Did you hear about Hyeon Woo...

who used to take this class with you?

- Yes. - Yes.

His friend says...

she has something to tell you guys.

I'd like you to spare some time for her.

- Okay? - Okay.

Come in.

Hae Ji.

Hello.

Hi.

Hyeon Woo isn't in there.

He's at chemotherapy,

so he's in the cleanroom now.

Who is she? Is she Hyeon Woo's friend?

Oh, yes.

His girlfriend.

I see. How pretty.

I'm here to give these to you.

(Certificate of Donation)

What are these?

His friends from the architecture class...

collected these for him.

The nurse said...

that he'd need a lot of blood too.

How thankful of you.

The school has agreed to help him out in possible ways,

so we might be able to get more of those.

Thank you.

You want to see him before you go?

He must not want to show his sick side.

I want to keep his pride.

Instead, please give this letter to him.

(Go for it, Hyeon Woo!)

Hi, Hyeon Woo.

Thank you so much for saying that you like me.

I said today's happiness is all that matters,

but I actually want to go to school with you...

tomorrow and the next day too.

I might be graduating first though.

I won't go to college,

so you should go to college and tell me how college life is.

PS.

This gift voucher has no expiration date.

Still, make sure you come back soon.

Hyeon Woo.

There.

Thank you.

I like your hat.

I like your hat too.

Hats complete fashion, you know.

Ms. Oh, I'm at the hospital.

I need to consult with the doctor about Joon Seo's donation...

and will head back right after.

I called you here to share good news with you.

What news?

We found a perfect match.

Goodness gracious.

Are you sure?

I told you we lost contact with the donor last time, right?

They got back in touch a few days ago and went through the tests.

The results came out a perfect match.

Goodness.

Did they agree to be a donor?

They agreed with pleasure.

How thankful.

- Mom. - Ji Young.

They won't change their mind, will they?

It seems they won't.

They said their acquaintance also got treated thanks to a donor.

They're glad they can pay the kindness back.

Thank you so much.

Please send my gratitude to them.

I will.

Shall we proceed with this donor then?

Yes, thank you so much.

It's a miracle.

The deities must be helping our poor Hyeon Woo.

I'm sure they are.

If we don't have Joon Seo donate his marrow,

we don't have to send Hyeon Woo to that family, right?

Let's talk about that later.

What, later?

If they say a word about Hyeon Woo,

I'm going to demand Joon Seo too.

(Being an organ donor is the most beautiful gift in the world)

But if you want to get all this,

Joon Seo must donate his marrow to Hyeon Woo.

If situations don't allow him to donate,

or you don't give your consent,

the promise will be broken immediately.

No.

I can't let everything go in vain...

after all I did to reach this far.

Hello.

I heard...

Hyeon Woo found a perfect match.

That's right.

How fortunate.

Are you proceeding with that donor then?

Yes.

Your son is half a match, so it may cause side effects.

What if that person...

has a change in mind?

It seems they're certain for now.

- Ms. Shin. - Yes?

It's a call for you.

Excuse me.

(Application for Donation Approval)

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E40 A Pledge to God "The Perfect Donor" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Hyeon Woo.

Mom.

Cheer up.

We found a perfect match who'll donate their bone marrow to you.

Really?

You don't have to be apologetic to Joon Seo for making him donate.

That's good.

It must've been hard for you too.

Right.

Let's cheer up a little more.

Hyeon Woo is struggling in the hospital.

I think of...

going to see him hundreds of times,

but it's too heart-breaking for me to go.

I had no idea even when I had him in the house.

I wonder what my age is for.

Don't blame yourself.

If you had known, you would've sent him to the hospital right away.

Hyeon Woo's mom's letter seemed so desperate...

that I tried to do the best I could do in taking care of him.

What letter?

When Hyeon Woo came here last time,

Ms. Woo gave this to me.

Hyeon Woo's mom wrote this letter...

out of concern for his diet.

What is this?

(Requests regarding Hyeon Woo's diet)

A child breaks...

their mother's heart.

I guess...

I'm living too long of a life.

I can't believe I'm going through this twice.

He'll put up with it.

You didn't take this when he was little.

But do take it now.

Mother.

Like I told you before,

this is my money.

Let me help my grandson...

at least this way.

Thank you.

He demanded Hyeon Woo...

in exchange for Joon Seo's marrow donation.

Who?

It's obvious who it is.

That mighty Chairman Kim Sang Chun.

As far as I know, he didn't demand such a condition.

What are you talking about?

Ji Young and her husband...

even signed the Application for Dissolution of Adoption.

- That's... - As parents,

what wouldn't they give in exchange for their son's life?

They'd even sacrifice their lives if necessary.

If I can,

I'd like to tell the entire world...

just how cruel Chairman Kim is.

But he has my grandson's life in his hands.

It leaves me no choice but to stay silent.

Ms. Heo.

Please.

I won't be greedy over Joon Seo.

Please don't take Hyeon Woo away from them.

Please don't be this cruel.

How can Ji Young and Min Ho live after sending all their sons away?

Please.

Is it true...

that they signed the Application for Dissolution of Adoption?

Yes.

My wife brought it.

Your father...

made things clear to me...

after finding out the truth about everything.

That he'd wait...

until Hyeon Woo becomes an adult.

I'm aware of that.

So why did she have them sign it?

Once Hyeon Woo becomes our family, he'll be her son.

That will give her power.

How ungrateful...

Now I understand why your father was so furious.

Joon Seo's donation comes first.

Hold back even if you want to pounce on her.

After how much I covered for her, how could she do such a thing?

What do you mean?

The donor refused?

- Yes. - They refused to donate?

What do you mean?

Like I told you, they refused to donate.

Why?

We can't ask why.

We must respect their decision.

Isn't there any way I can contact them?

I'd like to talk to them.

You can't contact each other.

There are many cases like this.

Some donors change their minds right before the operation...

which put the patients in danger,

but it's still their decision.

We can't do anything about it.

Though it's the second best option,

we better proceed with Kim Joon Seo, the half match.

Your son's marrow transplantation has already been scheduled.

What happened?

I thought you were going with the perfect match.

They refused to donate.

Really?

What's the reason?

What's the use in knowing why?

It's their decision, so we can't do anything about it.

Then you have no choice but to go with Joon Seo?

Help me, Na Kyung.

His marrow transplantation is already scheduled. We have no time.

I promised I'd give my consent.

Don't worry.

Then keep him safe from this evening,

and bring him to the hospital tomorrow.

I'll do that.

I'll see you later.

Good luck, Joon Seo.

I didn't cry when they drew my blood.

I can do a good job this time too.

Really?

I'm so proud of you, my puppy.

I'm a teenager now.

What, an adolescent?

You... Gosh, you're right.

You're 10.

That means you're an adolescent.

Keep me informed.

Yes, Father.

Let's go, Joon Seo.

Hello, Ms. Seo.

Hi, Joon Seo.

Thank you for coming.

No problem.

- Have a seat here. - Okay.

Remember what I told you last time you came?

Sign after reading through it again.

Okay.

(Written Consent on Marrow Donation)

I read it all.

Write your name here.

Okay.

Kim...

Joon...

Seo.

(Transplant Center)

- Time to say goodbye. - Okay.

- I'll be waiting here. - Okay.

(Cheonji Group)

It's what you wanted.

It's all written there, so have it notarized.

Thank you, Father.

Leave Hyeon Woo's issue up to Jae Wook.

His parents applied for the adoption dissolution,

but changing his family register is up to Jae Wook.

I understand.

Are you still feeling weak?

A little.

How is Hyeon Woo?

He'll get better soon.

Thank you, Joon Seo.

Mom.

It's hard, isn't it?

I'm sorry for making you hurt.

It's not your fault.

Don't be sorry.

Still.

You're my son.

I'll live only for you from now on.

I have the power to protect you now.

No one can mess with me.

No one can take you away from me either.

Did someone say they'd take me away from you?

No.

Even if someone tries to,

I won't be afraid anymore.

I'll never have you taken away,

so sleep tight at ease.

Okay.

Mother.

Is Joon Seo asleep?

Yes.

I just put him to sleep.

Sit down.

When did you...

receive this from Ji Young?

How did you get this?

You gave this to the housekeeper.

Yes, Ji Young...

gave it to me out of concern for Hyeon Woo's diet.

When?

When he was staying here,

she gave it to me at the broadcasting station.

Do you understand...

what she could've felt when she gave this to you?

What?

That's a parent's heart.

And how could you...

have them give up on their child?

Well...

It's...

what Father wanted.

Jae Wook knows everything that happened.

Don't try to use your father-in-law as an excuse.

Father settled the issue...

about her reinstatement, so please let it pass.

I understood and pitied you...

for having the will to treat Joon Seo like your own son.

In the end, you used Joon Seo...

to move your father-in-law.

It was to survive.

I can't stand your means to survive any longer.

I want you to move out,

but then I can't leave Joon Seo solely up to you.

So keep living in this house,

but stay only in the annex.

- Mother. - Don't come to the main house.

I don't need your greetings.

I won't see you.

So she was waiting for the donation to end.

When you received this from Ji Young,

were you aware Hyeon Woo had relapsed?

What's the use...

in asking that now?

She cared about her son so much that she gave you this letter,

so how could you keep what you found out from her?

Before taking it out on me,

go blame his parents for being clueless...

even when they raised him all these years.

Make sure you take a nap betweenwhiles.

- See you later. - Bye.

Yes, I'm almost there.

Get things prepared and wait for me.

Can you hear me?

- Check his body temperature. - Stay with us.

- What does it say? - 38.2°C.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Hyeon Woo!

(A Pledge to God)

You...

made me a sinner as well.
