Episode 37

I understand your reaction.

But if you learn about this disease, you'll understand.

It's estimated that there are about 5,000 patients in the country...

...but more than 90% lead a normal life with medication.

Only 5 to 10% of patients have problems, and the number is also decreasing.

You're totally insane. Out of your mind.

The only problem is with the medication...

Can't you shut up?

What? Leukemia?

Check first then. You'll learn that CML is not as scary as it sounds.

There's no need.

Do you think I'll allow it if she's sick?

You lunatic.

Your lunacy is getting worse.

Lunatic!

Mom.

I know.

I understand how you feel to hear that the girl you don't like even has a disease.

Step aside if you do. Alright?

Mom. Please yield this time. Just this once.

Like you said it's an impossible match.

She is well below your expectation and is even sick.

I understand you hate me, but...

I said step aside!

But I have to marry her. So yield this time.

Mom, I haven't disappointed you.

When you got divorced, I never asked why.

I never resented you while growing up for stopping me from seeing him either.

I was a good student.

You didn't let me attend his final moments because of the job interview...

...but I passed it and made you proud.

So just this once. Let me disappoint you just once.

Accept her.

I can't live without her. I'll die without her!

Then die.

Your asking me to accept a daughter in-law who has leukemia kills me.

It's not even worth saying no, but I'll say it again for the last time.

No. Over my dead body!

You tried to kill yourself twice when I was 9.

I saved you both times.

Why are you bringing it up? You mean you want me to save you this time?

Yes.

I still don't understand how you could think of...

...killing yourself and leaving me alone...

...but I never asked.

More importantly, you hid father's death from me.

You insist it was because of my job interview...

...but if it's true, you should've told me after the interview.

You even cut me away from father.

If you resent it that much, I'll apologize belatedly.

I'm sorry. For not telling you about father's death sooner. Satisfied?

- Mom. - Get out.

Get out!

Do you think I'll budge whatever you say?

Even if you beg on your knees for 7 days? This isn't even worth answering!

Do you think I'll give up?

For the first time I have a girl I wanna protect with my life.

A girl love can't even describe.

Do you think I'll give up easily?

I really love her. Don't make me choose between you and her.

Don't you know the more you are like this, the firmer I become?

I said before, but who do you think will feel my anger?

You said she's sick. Do you want her to suffer more because of you?

Please.

You're the only parent left to me. I want to have a happy wedding with your blessing.

You will. I'll find a good girl for you.

Do you think you can beat me?

I'll beg one last time.

Just this once. Please yield to me this time.

Get out.

It must have been a serious match. Why boxing?

It just happened.

What do you mean? Who did you box with and why?

Kyung-Woo Ko?

The Kyung-Woo Ko?

You're meeting him again?

Yeah.

What?

Goodness...

Take it anyway.

My! What's that ring?

Oh my... you... with him?

Let me take this first.

It's me.

Are you still angry?

No bruises I hope?

No.

Still angry, huh?

Why did you have a cap on? I can't see you.

- Take it off. - No. I have bad hair.

I told mom today that you have CML.

I tried to stop her from firing you but failed.

She said she'll reconsider if I break up with you, so I told her to go ahead.

Mom might call you. Don't take it. Until I make her relent a little.

You know by now, but she can be very scary. Alright?

Promise.

Jeez, give me.

I'm really a lunatic. When your white blood cell increased...

That's alright.

I'll forgive you this time. Because you had a long day.

You dragged me to the ring and trained me during the day...

...and tried to persuade your mom at night.

No wonder you look terrible.

As grandma would say, you look like a wreck.

Did you argue a lot with her?

What should I do? Giving you pain like this.

Who is it?

Hello, Dr. Yoo. I'm Hyo-Eun's grandfather.

What's the matter? I'd rather not see you.

I have something to tell both of you. Please open the door.

Honey.

What?

Hyo-Eun's grandfather came.

Don't open the door.

I already did. He said he had something to tell us.

Why did you open it?

I'm sorry for barging in like this.

Then you shouldn't have.

I wanted to apologize.

No need.

We don't want to hear an apology and it won't make us forgive her...

Honey.

Have a seat.

You sit, too.

Come on.

Please come this way.

Forgive me.

I deeply apologize for what my daughter did.

Compared to the pain you're going through...

...this act of apology seems inconsiderable.

I know what a terrible sin she committed.

I understand what you mean. Get up now.

It's no use.

Your ulterior motive is to get Hyo-Eun back, right?

I'll never give her up.

Get up. It makes me more uncomfortable. Please.

It's not that.

If it was just for her, I wouldn't have come here.

I wanted to apologize to you without concerning the Hyo-Eun matter.

I'm a father, too.

How could I not understand your pain, anger and sense of betrayal?

Still, she's my daughter, and I'm her father.

Considering what she did...

...I can't even beg for your forgiveness or look at you...

...but seeing her in pain because of Hyo-Eun breaks my heart.

Everything is my fault for not raising her properly.

Please forgive my terrible daughter and send Hyo-Eun back.

I'll forever be grateful.

Honey.

Sit here for a moment.

Sit. Come on.

What?

Send Hyo-Eun back.

Tae-Il's in-law came and even knelt down...

Who asked him to? Who asked him to beg? Why did you open the door?

Because I can't stand it. It's getting more painful to see Hyo-Eun.

You shouldn't use her as a hostage. It won't resolve our pain.

You must be misunderstanding.

I'm not taking her as a hostage.

I really intend to raise her as my granddaughter.

Honey.

I still can't think she's not my granddaughter.

I raised her for 7 years. How can she suddenly not be mine?

She's my granddaughter. She should grow up here for her future.

Imagine if she grew up with such an immoral mother.

Why are you so narrow-minded? Do you think she'll be happy without her mother?

Why not? She has a grandma and father.

Honey.

I don't wanna hear it. I'll raise her no matter what.

Where have you been all day?

Your mom waited for you all day.

I went to see a lawyer for a consultation.

What did he say?

Just as I expected. If I sue, we can take his parental rights.

But Hyo-Eun will find out everything.

Yeah, you can't go that far.

But what's with your mother in-law?

Your mom went to see her today, but she wouldn't even open the door.

She went there?

Yeah. Your father went to see Tae-Il early in the morning but didn't call all day.

Your mom waited for you all day and just trudged out.

You didn't see her on the way?

No.

Why would she go there?

Go now.

Only mother knows, so we can't get caught.

Go in first. I'll see you in.

What are you doing here?

How are you, mother?

Do you know what's going on with the family?

What if your father sees this?

Mother.

- What are you doing? Open the gate. - Okay.

Mother...

I'm not your mother.

I didn't say anything before, but I still can't stand the sight of you.

How dare you come here?

- Mom. - Go in.

Yes.

Bye.

Yes, mother. Later, no, tomorrow I'll come to say hi properly.

Good night!

I said I'd reconsider, not allow it.

Answer me. Did I say I would?

No.

Then why are you meeting him in front of the gate?

He shamelessly calls me mother because you behave like that.

Why am I his mother?

Mom. Did something happen with Hwang?

What more can happen? I can't handle any more!

Be careful. I didn't allow it and I still hate him.

Don't dare bring him to the gate again.

Okay.

What happened? Come up.

Hurry.

Honey.

How did it go? Did you meet Tae-Il?

Yeah, I did.

What did he say?

He asked me to wait.

He can't bring it up because of what he did...

...but he said his mother wouldn't do anything rash.

That's just what he thinks.

Let's wait.

It hasn't been a while yet, so we shouldn't talk about suing yet.

Let's wait a little more for her to calm down.

Alright.

Where were you all day? You didn't even pick up.

Did you call me? I didn't know.

Several times.

I went...

What?

Nothing. I just worried because I couldn't reach you.

- Dinner? - I had it. It's late.

Honey. Did something happen? Why are you so down?

What other reason can there be? I'm just tired. I'll wash.

Hey. What are you doing? What time is it?

Are you awake? Sleep more. It's not even 4am.

What are you doing at this hour?

I just woke up. I'll make rice rolls.

Come in.

Here.

- Good morning, father and mother. - Sure.

Sure. We slept well. I'm afraid we might have snored too much.

You sure did.

Oh my. Did we disturb your sleep all night?

No. We worried you might not sleep well, but we're relieved to see you did.

Yeah. We had a sound sleep.

Any good news from Hwang?

Not yet.

Nothing happened over night?

No.

This is no laughing matter.

So many things happened lately, so I gotta ask every morning.

This is a new year so things will get better.

Everyone has their bad times.

But you have to count by the lunar calendar. It's not a new year yet.

Dr. Hahn. This is Kyung-Ja Yoo.

Yes, thanks to you. Are you well?

I have a question for you.

I wanna know about chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Yes.

Yes.

What?

Difficulty in pregnancy because of medication?

Yes. And?

- Hee-Jung, Joon-Hee. - Hello, coach.

Joon-Ho.

They came for treatment, so I gave them a ride so I could see you.

Looks like he made your lives easier.

I'm always indebted to you.

Are you busy?

No. Come and have tea.

You guys go to the gym.

Let's go.

Go ahead.

Ok.

Yes?

You have what?

You have CML?

And you dare come to see me to marry my son? And ask for my blessing?

You're really insane. You are.

Answer me. Are you gonna keep seeing my son?

Answer. Right now!

Director.

Just answer. Yes or no?

Won't you answer?

Do your parents know you're doing this?

Do they or not? Won't you answer?

They don't yet.

Yeah?

Of course not.

Even the most shameless people wouldn't think of...

...marrying off a daughter with CML.

If they had even a shred of conscience, they'd never think of it.

Are you gonna keep seeing him or not?

I'll barge into your house and confront your parents depending on your answer.

What are you gonna do? Answer.

You won't?

Fine. You still don't get it.

I have no choice but to meet your parents and tell them to teach you properly.

Director!

Give me... some more time.

What?

Just a day. Give me a day to think it over.

Exactly one day. I don't wanna see your parents either.

If you're not an idiot, you'd know what decision you have to make.

What nerve you have.

You have CML, you're sterile, and can turn acute any time.

And you wanna marry my Kyung-Woo?

Who was it?

Geum. What happened?

I'm sorry. Just leave.

What happened?

Did that lady do this? Who is she?

I beg you. Just leave. Please.

How can I? Who is she?

Please leave!

Go. Please.

Alright.

Change first. You'll catch cold.

Answer me.

Ok.

Is she Kyung-Woo Ko's mother?

She is, huh?

Please. Please.

Alright. Change first.

'Sweatpants'

She won't pick up again. How can I correct her habit?

I have to get her mother's number.

I'm sorry for just showing up. I couldn't reach Geum, so I came here.

To see you and I have something to tell you.

Give it to me.

- It's ok. - Please, mother. This too.

It's ok.

Later.

I'm preoccupied and I have to leave soon.

Mother.

- Give me. - Yes.

I'll come again, mother. Take care.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

Tae-Young, who told you to open the door?

I came to see Hyo-Eun.

Who said you could come here? Who?

I'll leave after seeing her.

She isn't upstairs.

She isn't? She isn't here either.

She isn't? I thought she was downstairs.

What do you mean? You mean she isn't upstairs?

- Oh, no. - Hyo-Eun!

What the...

Hyo-Eun!

She isn't here?

No.

No? Then where is she?

Well...

She isn't downstairs either. I think she went out.

- Oh, no... - Don't you know when she went out?

You didn't even know when she went?

I just thought she was drawing upstairs.

Hey. I'll go too.

Go get my coat.

Hyo-Eun!

Hyo-Eun!

I have to find her. Tae-Young, call the police first.

Eun-Ji's and Ji-Won's, and call me if you find her.

Ok.

I'll go with you.

You go up. I'll go down. Father, you stay home. They might call.

Alright.

You stay home. You don't feel well.

How can I stay home when she's missing?

Hyo-Eun!

Hyo-Eun!

Hyo-Eun!

Hyo-Eun!

Hyo-Eun!

Hi, I'm Hyo-Eun's aunt. Did Hyo-Eun come here?

Hyo-Eun!

'Hwang.'

Hyo-Eun!

Hwang.

Hyo-Eun!

'Tae-Il'

I'm sorry. Have you seen a 7 year old girl?

- No. - Thanks.

Hyo-Eun!

Hyo-Eun.

Hyo-Eun.

Hyo-Eun.

Dad...

Dad!

It's ok. It's ok.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Why did you leave without a word?

Without grandpa and grandma's permission?

Did we teach you that way?

To leave home without saying a word?

No.

Then why did you leave? What if you got lost?

Why did you leave without a word? Where did you want to go?

To mom?

No.

To you.

To your office.

I missed mom and you, but she went on a trip and you're always at your office.

Then you should've called me. You don't know my number?

Why did you leave home without calling me?

How were you gonna come to my office?

Because you'd tell me not to come if I called. You'd say you're busy.

Why would I say that?

How scared and cold you must be.

It's ok now.

Let's go.

Let's go home and take a warm bath. I'll bathe you today.

Yeah.

Let's go.

It's me, mom. I found her.

Neck. Let's wash your neck.

Your back, too.

You like it?

- Did you go home safely that day? - Yes.

- I gotta go. See you later. - Bye.

You came early.

- Yeah. - Is Hyo-Eun doing well?

Yes.

I didn't want to say this, but what's wrong with your mother?

Why would she keep her? What wrong did she do?

You shouldn't say that. Then what about Hwang? And what she did to us?

Is she the only one to blame? Tae-Il started it.

Hwang cooperated, too. For 7 long years.

Don't keep blaming us, because in the end your family will have nothing to say.

I totally understand what my mother is doing.

I was shocked that she isn't my real niece.

Imagine how my parents must have felt.

What?

So the wolf changed his voice and asked. 'You want a red apple or blue?'

You called me. Why?

Hyo-Eun was missing for a while.

What?

Don't be alarmed. We found her soon.

She left home without a word. We found her quickly.

I bathed her and put her to bed.

How can you let this happen? And mom still wants to keep her?

I can't stand this. Any longer.

Sit. I'll bring her.

Sit. I said I'd bring her.

I wanna clarify one thing. I feel this is so unfair.

When I raised her, I never thought she wasn't mine.

I distanced myself because I hated you so much, not because I hated her.

What I meant when I said you should forgive me because I raised her...

Yes. I was petty.

I said what I shouldn't have.

For that, I have no excuse.

I'm sorry to Hyo-Eun, not to you.

I shouldn't have taken it out on her like that.

You never sincerely said you did wrong.

But we both wronged each other a lot.

My mistake can't justify yours.

So I still can't forgive you.

But I'll return her.

We were torn apart...

...but we shouldn't hurt her any more.

We have to protect her.

I'll tell mom.

So let's go and apologize again.

You know what I mean, right?

Yes. I got it.

But what if she still refuses?

Then I'll just take her. Okay?

Okay.

And...

I think you should know.

Your father came.

He begged on his knees. On your behalf.

What?

Why would he? Why?

Joon-Ho. You're still here?

I came back.

I was worried, and I just couldn't bear any more.

She's Kyung-Woo Ko's mother, right?

Yes. She's also the director of our school.

Why did she do that to you? Because you have CML?

Yeah.

What mother would want her son to marry such a girl?

But no one would act like that!

Stop seeing him.

Why do you have to humiliate yourself to be with him? Don't!

Joon-Ho.

If you don't listen to me, I'll tell your father about today.

Don't meet him.

I know.

I should stop seeing him right away because of this humiliation.

Why can I not?

I hate myself too.

I can't stand myself.

I'm a precious daughter to my parents, too.

If I think of my family, I shouldn't see him while being humiliated like that.

But I don't want to stop.

I can't.

You don't know.

I'm so scared that maybe I'm too selfish...

Maybe I'm committing a big sin.

Your father begged on his knees. On your behalf.

What happened? You didn't call me.

I was nearby. I heard you're working.

It's a vacation huh? Real quiet.

Why did you come?

You must have a reason. Did something happen again?

Nothing.

Tae-Il said he'd help me more with Hyo-Eun.

I see.

First good news in a long while.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know I caused you this much grief till today.

Why did you go there? Why?

Why on earth...

Why do you make me feel like a bad daughter?

Don't cry.

You'd know because you have a kid, too. Begging on my knees for you is nothing.

I just thought I might have caused your misfortune.

If I hadn't remarried, you might have lived another life.

No, father. No. No, father.

Good then.

Good.
