How could you? Did you keep her illness a secret from us...

because you wanted to be with Kyung Jun?

How could you do this to us?

It's not like that, Mother.

Grandma, leave if you're going to yell at Mom again. I hate you.

And don't get mad at Mr. Kyung Jun either.

He bought me a sketchbook and crayons because I got sick.

He bought some fruit for me too.

I like him.

Stop it, Eun Sook. Don't do that in front of Mi Ri Nae.

Mother, we shouldn't let this slide.

Honey.

What did you do to win her over...

to make her like him...

more than her grandma whom she lived with her whole life?

Looks like you paid for this private room as well.

Do you think money can solve everything?

If Yeong I hadn't kept this from us like a sly fox,

we would've done it for Mi Ri Nae before you stepped in.

We don't need your help, so leave at once.

I said, leave.

Mother, didn't you come here because you were worried about Mi Ri Nae?

Who did it first doesn't matter.

Mi Ri Nae is watching us. Please calm down. Please, Mother.

Don't call me "Mother!"

Honey, cut it out already. That's not important right now.

Grandma, stop it. Please don't get mad at him.

- Oh, no. My baby. - Mi Ri Nae.

- My baby. - Mi Ri Nae, are you okay?

My goodness. My poor baby.

Oh, dear. It breaks my heart to see my sweet pumpkin like this.

Hey, stop it. That's enough, all right?

I understand that you're worried about her.

But I think you should go now.

I mean, she needs to get used to not seeing you, you know.

If you keep showing up, it'll make it hard for you both to be parted.

Right. I think Mom is right about that.

This isn't right for Mi Ri Nae's sake.

Mi Ri Nae.

I'll be off now.

You promised me, right?

That you'll eat well...

and stay brave and cheerful to get well soon.

Right?

Mr. Jang, what brings you here?

I just stopped by because I was worried about Mi Ri Nae.

I guess you met her family.

I think it's best for you to not come back here.

Now that the entire family knows,

you'll keep bumping into them.

Then both you and Mi Ri Nae's family would be uncomfortable.

No one in that family would be happy to see you now.

You know that well.

Yes.

I know that.

That's why I tried not to come.

But when I heard about her illness, I couldn't just forget about it.

That's why I came.

I won't come here again.

So please...

take good care of her by her side.

Goodbye, then.

Hey.

Well...

I don't just hate you unlike the others in my family.

It's just that we got entangled in bad things with each other.

Strictly speaking, you've done nothing wrong.

You must be heartbroken because you broke up with Yeong I.

I'm pretty sure that Yeong I, grandma, and dad...

are on the same page as me.

They just can't help with their resentment toward your family.

Thank you, Do Young.

For saying that.

I heard you had gotten this private room...

to make it easier for Yeong I to look after Mi Ri Nae.

Thank you for that.

If anything happens to Mi Ri Nae, or I hear any news,

I'll let you know.

Please do that.

Sure.

(Visitor Guidelines)

You packed up and left with the kid just as you wanted.

I bet you went around with her in the cold weather.

That's why she got sick.

I won't let you off if anything bad happens to Mi Ri Nae.

Yes. Everything you said is right.

I'm a bad mother, so...

You don't have to point that out to hurt my feelings.

What did you say? Gosh, how dare you?

Honey, enough is enough.

Mom and I are as upset as you are.

But Mi Ri Nae is sick, which is the most important thing.

Yeong I must be heartbroken already. Why would you be so mean to her?

He's right. You should stop it now.

If you're going to keep acting like that, just go home.

You don't even deserve to be a grandmother.

Eun Ho, I heard you knew everything.

Oh, right. Eun Ho, please tell us...

how serious Mi Ri Nae's condition is.

Is Mi Ri Nae asleep?

Yes, she's asleep.

Please don't be too surprised.

I'll explain to you now.

(Evergreen University Hospital)

Are you saying that we might lose Mi Ri Nae...

if we can't find a donor?

Hopefully, we'll find a donor.

Yeong I and I had the test done.

Our test results will be out tomorrow, probably.

Eun Ho, lead the way. I'll take the test right now.

I'm sorry, but you can't donate because of your age, Ms. So.

For now, Mr. Kim and Ms. Oh, take the test tomorrow.

- I'll do it too, Eun Ho. - Okay.

I'll call Do Sik to tell him to take the test too.

Honey, hurry up. Why wait until tomorrow?

Do Young, call and tell Do Sik to close the restaurant and come.

I'll do that, Mom.

- Then I'll let the nurse know. - Okay.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you for doing this.

Mi Ri Nae isn't just your child.

She's our blood. We'll save her.

Goodness, her.

She keeps saying mean things,

but she was worried about you and waited for you to come back.

You know how she always says mean things that she doesn't mean.

Even so, I apologize to you on her behalf...

for hurting you emotionally.

It must've been hard for you to go through this alone.

Poor thing.

You must have been worried to death.

If anyone should be ill,

I wish I were the one since I'm old.

Why must that little child suffer?

My goodness.

How cruel the universe is.

Come here, Yeong I. Come.

My poor baby. Oh, dear.

- Grandmother. - Goodness.

I'm terrified.

I've never been this afraid my whole life.

Grandmother, Mi Ri Nae will be okay, right?

I won't be able to go on with my life if I lose her.

Who else do I have to rely on?

Who else do I have to trust?

I heard the news from Ms. An.

That Mi Ri Nae is very ill.

Yes. I stopped by the hospital to see her.

I can't believe that sweet little child has such a horrible illness.

That being said,

I heard that she needs a bone marrow transplant.

So I'm going to have the test done too.

I was going to have it done earlier.

But Yeong I's in-laws found out about Mi Ri Nae's condition...

and came to the hospital when I was there.

So I had to come home without taking the test.

Her family would never be happy to see you.

Kyung Jun.

You don't have to step in.

There are many people in her family.

I'm sure that at least one of them is a match.

Besides, if they know you'll have the test done,

would they be glad?

To be honest, I want to stop you.

Even so, I can't just sit back and do nothing, Dad.

Anyway, you can't do that.

I know it may sound selfish and heartless.

But I care more about your health.

After you got the cornea transplant,

you went into an allergic shock. Don't you remember that?

We all thought you might not make it.

Let's say you turn out to be a match.

But what if something goes wrong...

during the transplant surgery?

If that happens, I might resent that family.

I know that you're worried, but...

Do as I say this time.

Let's wait and see how it goes for the time being.

You can make your decision after their test results come out.

Let's hope they can find a donor very soon.

Mi Ri Nae.

Are you feeling better now?

Do you not cough anymore?

No, I don't. I'm fine now.

I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye to you with a smile.

Don't say that. There's nothing you should apologize for.

Mr. Kyung Jun, when will you visit me again?

Can't you come because Grandma doesn't want you to see me?

Well...

When you become healthy again,

I promise I'll go see you.

Even if your grandmother stops me, I'll make sure to go see you.

Let's go to an amusement park...

and draw together as much as we want.

Oh, and let's go on a bike ride...

to a park together too.

So...

get well no matter what.

Okay?

You can promise me that, right?

Yes. I promise.

Mi Ri Nae, can I speak to him too?

Mr. Kyung Jun, hold on a second.

Kyung Jun.

Yes, Yeong I.

I'm sorry about earlier.

You came here because you were worried about Mi Ri Nae.

But you only heard harsh things from my mother-in-law.

I apologize on her behalf.

I wasn't worried only about Mi Ri Nae.

You seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

You should stay by her side so that she can rely on you.

You should eat well for her sake, at least.

And you should sleep well whenever you have a chance.

Oh, I forgot.

This is the most important thing.

- Sorry? - You know...

that it's not your fault...

that Mi Ri Nae is ill.

Never blame yourself.

Cheer Mi Ri Nae up by her side instead.

She'll be all right.

She's your daughter.

I wanted to hear that it wasn't my fault.

Thank you.

Although I knew I shouldn't feel that way,

but when I saw you earlier,

I felt comforted.

I pretend I was okay,

but I guess I wanted to be comforted like a child.

It's always been like that.

You know...

how my face helps others relax and feel comfortable.

I should go now.

Take care.

Why? I should leave for work now.

Don't have the test done.

What?

What if it causes any health problems?

I mean, you haven't even gotten married yet.

Why would it cause health problems?

Still, I should have the test done.

What if you're a match?

Then I'd be relieved.

No. Don't come to the hospital. Your dad and I will do it.

How can you be so heartless?

The kid is ill.

Have you developed a habit of eavesdropping too?

I wouldn't be like this if I had more than one child.

But Hae Mi is our only child.

Isn't it natural for me to worry as her mother?

Wait, no. You take the test representing our family.

Mom, that's not right.

Representing us? This isn't a class president election.

Hurry up and get dressed.

Everyone in our family will have the test done.

I feel bad because there are only three in our family.

And you and Hae Mi won't even do it?

Are they your family only when you need them?

Hae Mi, you should come during your lunch break.

Hwa Kyung, you'll go with me right now.

Do Sik, shouldn't you go to your parents' house?

They must be tense since they found out about Kyung Jun yesterday.

Leave once you finish your breakfast.

I'll do that.

Why didn't you go to the hospital when Do Young called you yesterday?

I understand that because it was getting late.

But why are you still here having breakfast?

I should go.

I know I should go there to see Mi Ri Nae.

Have the test done too while you're at the hospital.

Do Young can come in late tomorrow.

I'll call her in the morning and tell her to come in late.

But the restaurant can't function properly without me, Eun Ho.

What a load of crock.

Are you afraid of needles? Is that it?

No, that's not the reason.

I'm afraid.

I'm not saying that I'm afraid of needles.

I'm afraid of seeing Yeong I and Mi Ri Nae who's bedridden.

I can't stop thinking of the day when I heard of Do Jin's death.

My heart keeps pounding, and my legs are wobbly.

My gosh. You're such a scaredy-cat.

I didn't know you were so fearful, Do Sik.

Still, you should go to see them. Okay?

Had I known,

I would've been nicer to Yeong I and Mi Ri Nae.

- Do Sik. - Yes?

Just hurry up and go take the test.

- Leave now. - Right. Get going now.

Okay.

I'll get going, Mother.

See you later.

Are you okay now? Are you done?

She keeps vomiting.

She didn't eat much food. What's wrong with her?

Poor digestion is one of the common symptoms.

And she keeps getting bruises on her body.

That's also a common symptom.

Right now, all we can do is give her an IV to help her...

maintain her physical strength as much as possible.

Mom, are you crying?

I'm sorry. I tried not to throw up,

but I felt so sick.

No, I'm not crying.

Mi Ri Nae.

When you feel sick, don't try to hold back.

Just throw it all up. It's okay.

Okay.

Oh, right. Mr. Kyung Jun brought a star garland for you yesterday.

Shall I hang it here?

Yes. I want to help.

Oh, my. It's so pretty.

There you go.

It's done.

Mom, turn the lights off.

Oh, right.

Here we go.

Oh, my.

My, it's pretty.

It's so nice that we're looking at the stars together, right?

Yes, Mom. I'm so happy right now.

- Mi Ri Nae. - Yes?

When you get well and go home,

let's see only the nice, pretty things in the world.

First, let's go somewhere to see the real stars shining in the sky.

Really? Will you take me to such a place?

Of course, I will. You can see...

pretty stars closely at an observatory.

So let's go there together...

no matter what.

I'm so excited. I love you, Mom.

I love you too.

(Visiting Room)

I didn't know you would come to see me, Father.

I thought I should bid you farewell.

In the end, you and I...

couldn't become like other fathers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

But we lived together in the same house for 30 years.

I was never fond of you through all those years.

And I only scolded you for not living up to my expectations.

I think that might have made you end up like this.

I feel apologetic toward you for that.

I regret, Father.

You...

gave me several chances...

to tell you about my innermost feelings.

I should've mustered up the courage to tell you everything.

I wish I had understood your thoughtful intentions...

and mustered up the courage back then.

I regret...

I didn't do so.

I'm sorry...

that I never treated you with genuine respect and affection.

Don't worry about Se Jun.

You...

tried your best to protect Se Jun because you loved him.

Even though your ways of protecting him were wrong,

he knows that you did what you did for his sake as his mother.

Also,

let us take care of him now.

He's my grandson...

and Yi Jae's son.

We'll help him...

start living his life again...

when he's back.

Thank you, Father.

I'm very grateful to you.

Hae Mi.

Is Mi Ri Nae sleeping?

Yes. She just fell asleep after taking her medication.

I was going to leave after taking the test.

But I wanted to stop by to see you and Mi Ri Nae.

Your parents came this morning.

Thank you for doing this.

Of course, we should do it since we're family.

You don't have to thank us.

Here.

I brought you some food...

because you must not have had a proper meal.

How thoughtful. You even thought of me too.

No. It wasn't me.

It was Kyung Jun.

I'm not thoughtful enough to think of that much.

Kyung Jun sent me this?

I told him I was going to come here for the test.

Then he asked me to bring you this.

Why don't you two...

get back together when Mi Ri Nae gets well?

Why should you be parted when you love each other so much?

After all those who have sinned get punished,

the remaining people should become happy.

Right now, I don't want to think of anything else...

but Mi Ri Nae's recovery.

I can't even afford to think about anything else.

I do understand that.

I just feel sorry for you two.

It'd be nice if he were here to help you and comfort you.

- Oh, my. Mother. - Oh, my.

- Mom. - Yes.

Where did you go when you had no energy to go out?

What's all this? What did you buy, Mother?

Can you put...

What did you buy, Mom?

- Look at this. - Take it out and have a look.

- Dear me. I'm exhausted. - Oh, goodness.

She bought towels.

Oh, my. There should be more than 20 towels.

But why did you buy so many towels suddenly?

Oh, I know. Are you going to take these to the hospital?

Yes. Food is important, of course.

But we should pay close attention to everything Mi Ri Nae uses.

Oh, my. This towel is so soft, Mother.

- Oh, dear. - I know, right?

- Oh, right, Mom. - Yes?

Hae Mi just called me.

Now that Hae Mi took the test,

everyone in our family took the test.

Since we're a big family,

I'm sure there will be a match among us, so don't worry too much.

And the test results will be out tomorrow, apparently.

Eun Ho asked his friend who works at the hospital a favor.

After all of us had the test done,

he asked his friends to expedite the test as much as possible.

I see. That's great.

Kyung Jun was right.

I found it hard to believe, but you do seem relaxed.

I brought you some books.

So read them when you're bored.

You keep speaking to me casually.

Whatever.

We're the same age.

And we have no friends.

So it'd be great if we become friends.

How have you been, Hae Mi?

Well, you know...

There's no one to pick a fight with me.

There's no supervisor to nag me.

It's comfortable.

But it's also boring.

I didn't realize it when you were there.

Now that you're not around me, I feel sad.

So come back soon.

Thank you for saying that you'll wait for me, but...

Hae Mi.

Do not...

come to see me again.

I'm...

in my own process...

of forgiving you.

I'm Do Jin's cousin after all.

If you're uncomfortable seeing me... Well... Right.

I'll write you letters instead.

It'll be enjoyable since I haven't done it in a while.

Right.

Then I'll get going now.

I have to buy some paper to write a letter on.

It's almost time for rounds, right?

Yes.

Do Young, can you take Mi Ri Nae to the lounge for a while?

- Sure, Yeong I. - Right.

Mi Ri Nae, let's go to the place with arcade games, okay?

- Okay. - Come here.

- All right. - Let's go.

Come here.

- Be careful. - Come. Go into her arms.

- Come here. - There.

Let's go.

She doesn't look sick when she acts like that.

I know.

Oh, he's here.

Doctor, did you get the test results?

I'm a match, right? I mean, I'm Mi Ri Nae's mother.

Ten of you including Ms. An Young Geum had the test done.

I'm sorry to tell you this. But unfortunately,

none of you is a match.

What?

- No way. - Oh, no.

What...

- What do we do now? - Then my daughter...

- My gosh. Hey. - Oh, no. Yeong I!

- Yeong I! Oh, my goodness. - Yeong I!

What do we do?

(The Love in Your Eyes)

Mi Ri Nae?

The only way left is to get her on the transplant list...

to find a donor who's a match.

I'll have the test done too.

A miracle may happen.

If I can't save my child,

I'll end my own life to be with her!

Yeong I, why won't you say that you're very distressed now?
