[Episode 117]

It's me. How have you been?

I'm sure you're not wondering

how I'm doing all of a sudden.

You must have something to say to me.

Excuse me.

Why isn't the waiter coming to me?

I'm very upset right now

because the coffee tastes horrible.

But why did you call me?

I called you because I truly wanted

to see how you were doing.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

How about at home?

Is Sun-jae keeping quiet these days?

Sun... Sun-jae?

Well, actually...

Excuse me!

Come here. Come over here.

No, nothing's wrong here.

Just take care of your coffee first.

I'll see you soon.

Dad, you didn't talk to her about it?

We have to hurry up and set the wedding date.

Soon.

We'll do it soon.

Lie down.

You'll be in surgery tomorrow.

I heard that some people

never wake up from anesthesia.

Somebody died like that while getting the transplant.

Gosh, where did you hear such a thing?

Those are all a bunch of lies.

No. I heard guardians talking

talking to each other in the waiting room.

Oh, goodness.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Both our daughter and son-in-law are doctors.

You think they can't save you?

I'm not scared of dying.

Then what?

I'm not scared of dying at all.

But...

You're upset because of Ji-sung, right?

You made up with In-sung and Hee-sung

but not with Ji-sung. That bothers you, huh?

I wonder whom she takes after. She's so stubborn.

Goodness... Who do you think?

She takes after you, that's who.

She knows I'm in the hospital,

but she doesn't even call me.

She's so stubborn.

You should call her, then.

You're just as bad.

You can give in and call her first.

She didn't pick up. Her phone is turned off.

Then send her a text.

She must be busy with work.

You think she'd deliberately not pick up your calls?

Why would I text her?

I don't need to do that.

If I don't see her, so be it.

I'll text her for you.

Goodness, stop it. Don't do that.

I'm going to see how she acts later.

She'll regret it once I'm dead and gone.

You're seriously doing this with your own daughter?

My gosh.

Grandma!

Oh, Mi-na! Oh my cute girl!

Oh, goodness!

-You're here, Mi-na! -Oh, how cute!

Grandma was dying to see you.

You're finally here!

Yeah. Grandma...

Oh, goodness...

Mi-na, where's your mother?

Father!

Oh, you're here.

Mother, what in the world...?

I had no idea you were this ill. I'm very sorry.

It's all right.

But how did you find out?

Did Ji-sung tell you? Where's Ji-sung?

You didn't know?

She's going away somewhere.

Where?

I don't know.

She told me to take care of Mi-na for two weeks.

She also told me to visit you with Mi-na.

I thought everyone knew where she was going.

There must be some urgent business.

Well, as long as I got to see Mi-na, I'm fine.

Oh, my cute girl. How have you been?

How cute.

Mommy was so mean to me.

She didn't cook me anything yummy

and didn't let me call you.

Oh, really?

Grandma, I want to stay here with you.

Good.

Your mommy was naughty.

How could she be mean to you?

What a naughty mommy.

How cute...

Huh? Mi-na!

Ha-young!

Mi-na, you're here.

Hello, Woo-jae.

Hi there.

You two look great together.

Where's Ji-sung?

What? 2-3 weeks?

Yes.

Is she going abroad when Mom is getting surgery?

It's as if she had deliberately planned it that way.

What a strange coincidence.

I thought everyone knew about it.

I wonder what's going on.

How would we know?

She came by briefly last week

and said harsh things to Mom.

So Mom was determined to

not get a transplant from us.

Don't you think Ji-sung is going too far?

Even if she's mad at Mom,

how can she not even call her at a time like this?

I wonder what's going on.

Mi-na!

I'll go after them.

Ha-young!

Ji-sung...

What's going on?

Are you sick?

I'm not dying.

Then what is it? Why are you hospitalized?

You told me to take care of Mi-na.

Actually, I'm donating my kidney to Mom.

She and I are the perfect match.

I heard that she has a donor.

It was you?

Why didn't you tell your family about it?

I got the results late

and I know Mom would never accept my kidney.

It will be better for her to not know about it.

Even so...

Your family is very upset with you

because you're not even calling Mother.

When I'm with Mom,

I keep saying harsh things despite myself.

And I make her more upset.

I want nothing more than for Mom to recover

after tomorrow's surgery.

I don't want anything else.

But this is a serious surgery.

You have to remove one of your kidneys.

Don't tell Mi-na about it.

And don't tell Mom or she'll never get this surgery.

What are you going to do after the surgery?

Shall I nurse you?

You just take care of Mi-na.

I already hired a helper for myself.

Hello, Sun-jae?

Yes. I'm on my way out.

What do I want to eat?

Apples.

Yeah. I like apples the most.

Okay. I'll be there soon.

Jung-ie, where are you going when it's getting dark?

You don't have a shift today.

I'm going to Sun-jae's house.

What?

Why would you go there?

Father wanted me to come over for dinner.

Aren't you even ashamed of yourself?

Why would you go there before the wedding?

Don't go.

Just stay put until you're married.

But I already promised I'd go.

You're overreacting, Dad.

Hey...!

Oh, that immature girl...

Here.

Sit down, Miss So.

You must be hungry. Let's eat.

We don't have much, but please eat up.

Yes. Thank you.

Oh. And you can speak casually to me, Father.

I'll do that in time.

Ma'am, please bring out the rest of the food.

Thank you.

Let's eat now.

Are you feeling comfortable?

She needs to stand up for her part-time job at the cafe

so her legs and back hurt a lot.

I'm really all right.

You should do this, Father.

Your back and legs must hurt since you're up all day.

He's right. It's all right.

Here we go.

How do you feel? Isn't it really refreshing?

Yeah.

Thank you, Father.

No problem.

A 70% match?

How can this be possible?

Dr. Ma, what are you doing? Isn't it your day off today?

Dr. Kang, look at this.

It's the donor's compatibility test results.

It matches in four categories of HLA.

Yeah.

And the donor shows 70% histocompatibility.

Isn't this impossible unless they're blood-related?

That's true.

Who could it be?

Maybe Mom has a hidden child we don't know of.

Hee-sung.

Why did you want me to come here?

Thank you.

Isn't that Ji-sung?

Why is she hospitalized?

Let me go get something from my car.

What the...? It's Woo-jae.

Hey!

Ji-sung.

Hee-sung. In-sung. How did you...?

What are you doing right now?

Mom doesn't know, does she?

Oh, she's not supposed to know?

You thought you'd get a prize for being the

best daughter for donating your kidney in secret?

What?

The hospital called me late so I came in yesterday.

When did you get tested?

Why didn't you tell us?

We thought it was very strange

how you seemed so aloof toward Mom.

I even badmouthed you for being so stubborn.

How could you make such a fool out of me?

You didn't say anything when we spoke yesterday.

You told me to give Mom all my organs.

You were making me out to be a bad daughter,

and I didn't have the courage to say what I was doing.

Why is it so hard for you?

You could've just said you got yourself tested,

but you don't know the results yet.

Why would you do this all behind our backs?

Seriously...

I can understand not telling Mom and Dad,

but how could you not tell us, too?

Were you going to donate your kidney to Mom

without her ever finding out?

I'm happy enough to be helping Mom.

I'm just thankful that I can be of help to her.

You're so selfish.

What about Mom?

Have you thought about how Mom would feel

not knowing the kidney is from you?

Think about how upset she'd be if she finds out later.

If she knows that I'm her donor,

she'll refuse the surgery.

She'll never accept my kidney.

She said she didn't want our kidneys

and she registered at the organ donation center.

But if she knows you're a match, she wouldn't say no.

She would say no.

Don't you know Mom at all?

Even when she knew she was dying,

instead of going to the hospital,

she left home to die where nobody could find her.

Let's go to Mom.

Let's tell her that you're her donor.

Just tell her you're sorry and that you love her.

You think I'm doing this because of my pride?

This is no time to be stubborn.

Yeah. Tell us the reason at least.

Five years ago, when I was having Mi-na

through a C-section, I took a long time to wake up.

That's why Mom didn't want us

to tell you about the transplant.

When I woke up,

Mom was nearly dead from worry.

She told me to never have any more babies

and to get checkups regularly

so that I wouldn't need surgeries.

She was worried that I might die

if I had another surgery.

We really had no idea.

And if I tell her that I'm donating my kidney,

I know it'll only make her worry more.

I want her to have the surgery in peace.

I love Mom more than anybody in this world.

It's hard for me to raise just one daughter,

so I often wonder how she raised all three of us.

And I never got to thank her for it.

I want to show her how thankful I am.

So please help me.

I promise you.

As soon as the surgery is over,

I'll tell her that I'm sorry and I love her.

No wonder Mom didn't want Ji-sung finding out.

Mom will never get the surgery

if she knows Ji-sung is involved.

Hee-sung, isn't this too risky for Ji-sung?

Isn't it dangerous for someone to

take too long to wake up from anesthesia?

If you don't wake up within

two hours after the surgery,

it's considered an emergency situation.

Mom, I'm here.

Why are you here? I know you're busy.

It's good that you're here.

Since your mother's surgery is tomorrow,

I'm so nervous.

Mom, how's your condition?

Just so-so.

It's not bad, but it's not great.

Thank goodness there's a perfect donor.

I'm so thankful.

If I knew who it was,

I'd go and thank the person right away.

I know.

I'm sure the donor knows how you feel.

Yes.

Mom, you should get some sleep.

It's a big day tomorrow.

Yeah, Mom. We'll get going.

Hey, about Ji-sung...

Did you get to talk to her?

I just don't understand her.

How could she not call us when

she knows your mother's condition?

Why do you keep talking about her?

She should at least know

you're getting a kidney transplant.

I'll text her and let her know.

I'm sure she's very worried about Mom.

If she's so worried, why won't she call?

Forget it. You don't need to text her

or let her know about your mother.

What?

Ji-sung is the donor?

Yes.

Wait, but why did she keep it a secret?

Mother and Father were upset

that she didn't even call them.

At first, Hee-sung and I also thought it was strange.

But after hearing her side, I understood.

Ji-sung is very weak,

and she almost didn't wake up from

anesthesia when she was having Mi-na.

I see, she's keeping it a secret

because Mother might refuse the surgery.

Mom would never accept Ji-sung's kidney.

I'm worried about your sister.

What if she doesn't wake up from anesthesia?

I'm really worried, too.

But I can't tell her not to do it, either.

What's all this?

Put them down here.

Oh!

Thank you.

What's that?

My father bought boxes of apples

because Jung-ie is craving them.

He asked what I crave, and I said apples.

We have plenty of apples at home.

Sun-jae, take them all back.

Father, please leave them here for Jung-ie.

We can buy our own apples.

Dad, it's a gift. Just take it.

Yeah.

He must adore Jung-ie.

Sun-jae, it's getting late.

You should go home now.

Thank your father for the apples.

All right. Good night.

Good night, Jung-ie.

Have a safe trip home.

You should be ashamed of yourself and stay home.

Dad, I'm not ashamed of myself at all.

We're getting married anyway.

What did you say?

And they treated me so well tonight at his house.

Father was delighted at my every word.

You're the only one who thinks I'm shameful.

Hey! You think he really adores you?

How could he possibly adore you?

He'll think that you ruined his son's future!

Dad...

Let's just be happy for them now.

Other people are dying to

marry their daughters off to rich families.

But she found a rich boy who loves her as she is.

I don't like Sun-jae because he's rich.

But she's pregnant.

You should be nice to her for the baby's sake.

All right.

When are you going to bring me the good news?

We will soon...

Quiet.

What time is it right now?

Get upstairs right now. Why are you down here?

Go up. Hurry. Go on!

Turn off the lights! Lights off!

Go up.

Good night. Hurry up and go.

Goodness...

His younger, unmarried sister

is about to have a baby.

What's taking them so long?

They even lied about being pregnant

when they were getting married.

Seung-geun!

Try this on.

Where did you get this suit?

Try it on.

Good.

What do you think?

It's weird.

What do you mean, it's weird?

It's a perfect fit.

I only got to wear this once

because I didn't want it to get worn out.

Here, try the necktie, too.

This is expensive stuff.

What do you think?

When did you buy this?

This?

Well, when did I buy this suit...?

I think when Jung-geun was going to college.

Or maybe when he was going to high school.

Anyway, I wore it once.

Oh, right!

Dad, you wore that when I was going to junior high.

What the...?

I don't want it. No way.

I can't wear this.

Hey, you brat.

This is a good suit. It's expensive stuff.

It's a designer brand.

That brat...

Jung-geun.

Do you want it?

Let's eat breakfast.

Suit yourself.

My gosh.

They know nothing about fashion.

Gosh...

Oh, right.

Today's your mother's surgery, right?

We're going straight to the hospital from work.

The surgery is at 2 o'clock.

I see.

It'll go well.

Yes.

I know it will.

Ms. Ma Ji-sung, don't be too nervous.

You'll go to the operating room

a bit earlier than Patient Hong Ae-ja.

Are there any aftereffects following the surgery?

If you're worried about her health

after the donation, the answer is no.

It's amazing, but when a person removes a kidney,

the strength of the remaining kidney increases.

Doctor, please do well with my mother's surgery.

She sacrificed so much for us.

Please make sure she's not in any pain.

All right.

We'll move you to the operating room now.

I don't see In-sung.

She said she'd be here soon.

I want to see her before the surgery.

Yeah, why is she late?

Call her.

I already did.

I'm sure she's running over here right now.

Here's the doctor.

Hello.

Patient Hong, are you ready?

Yes.

I'm ready, but I want to see my children

before I go into surgery.

Yeah.

It's a serious surgery.

I want her to see them before going in.

Well, it's time for the surgery.

She must go now.

Let's move.

All right.

Well, all right.

I can see her after the surgery.

Let's go.

Don't worry.

You'll feel much lighter after a good sleep.

Yes, I'm sure.

I wish Woo-jae came with Mi-na...

You want to see Ji-sung, right?

After your surgery, I'll drag her here if I have to.

Oh, no. You don't need to do that.

All right.

Let's go. I'm ready.

All right.

Here.

Ji-sung, you'll be fine.

Ji-sung, good luck.

Thank you.

They say it's easy for the donor.

I'll be out soon, so don't worry.

Honey...

Take good care of Mi-na for me.

Play with her a lot.

Why would you worry about her?

I'll be good, so don't worry.

Good, then.

I finished the oxtail soup you brought me.

I feel energetic after that.

Good job.

Hang in there, honey.

Ji-sung, you promised that you'd tell Mom

after the surgery. All right?

Yes, I'll do that.

Huh?

You and Jung-geun were here?

In-sung, you were here?

Mother, how are you?

I'm well. I'm fine.

Mother...

Woo-jae.

Are you here alone?

Mother, actually...

Woo-jae.

Mi-na went to the kindergarten.

She was bored all day long.

Mom, good luck with your surgery.

We'll be right here waiting.

We'll see you soon.

Mother, you'll be just fine.

Right.

Don't worry about me. I'll see you all later.

All right.

Go in now.

Okay.

[Preview]

Your mother's surgery is a huge success.

Actually, the donor of the kidney was...

I only want to eat what you cook.

What kind of crazy situation is this right now?

Ji-sung has been moved to the intensive care unit.

You're hiding something from me, aren't you?

Ji-sung...

Where's Ji-sung?

Take me to her.

Please save her...
