Original subtitles

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

Thank goodness you found a donor quickly.

I was so worried.

You knew?

The fact that I lied about Mi Ri Nae undergoing surgery.

To tell you the truth, Do Young called me.

I know you said that...

because you didn't want me to worry.

Now, stop worrying and get some rest with Mi Ri Nae.

I'll be off, then.

Thanks...

for today.

I wanted to cry,

but it's my fault that Mi Ri Nae ended up like that.

I felt like I didn't even deserve to cry,

so I was holding it all in.

Thanks to you, I got to cry as much as I wanted.

What do you mean you don't deserve to cry?

If you want to hide and cry again, call me anytime.

I'll cover you so that no one can see you.

I can't predict when you'd want to cry.

So perhaps, I should carry a big umbrella around.

I'll be going, then.

Father, it's me.

Yes, Yeong I.

The organ donation center found a donor for Mi Ri Nae.

They found a donor?

Yes.

You can put your worries to rest now.

Mi Ri Nae's surgery will be scheduled soon.

Thank goodness. I'm so relieved.

Mother.

They found a donor.

Really? Goodness.

Our dear Mi Ri Nae is okay now. She can live, Mother!

Gosh, my goodness.

I'm truly grateful.

Father.

What is Mother up to?

She must be at home now.

I'll let her know.

It's not that.

I stopped by earlier to pick up Mi Ri Nae's stuff...

and ended up getting into an argument with her.

Oh, dear. She upset you again?

I'm sorry, Yeong I.

I'll make her feel better, so don't worry about it.

I think she's on edge because of what's going on with Mi Ri Nae.

She's been so cranky.

But earlier in the day, she went out to get groceries...

to make food for Mi Ri Nae.

I'm sorry, Father.

It's okay. Don't be.

It's nothing. We just want Mi Ri Nae to fully recover, you know?

Yeong I.

We'll talk later, okay?

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

All right.

- Mother. - Yes.

Mi Ri Nae just has to get a bone marrow transplant now.

Then she can be cured.

We have nothing to worry about now, Mother.

Yes, I know that much.

Oh, dear. I've been so worried and anxious...

that I feel so drained.

I can't believe it.

How dare she yells at her mother-in-law?

She should've told me instead of bottling it all up inside.

She was keeping it all inside.

What? If something bad happens to her child, she'll follow her?

How could she say such a thing to her mother-in-law?

She lashed out and yelled at me, but no one would believe me.

Everyone thinks she's always sweet and nice.

I wish I could put up some surveillance cameras in the house.

- Hey, they found one. - My gosh.

Gosh, you scared me. Found what?

They found a donor for Mi Ri Nae.

I just got a call from Yeong I.

Dear Lord! Dear Buddha! Thank you.

Thank goodness, honey. We can put our worries to rest.

We should visit them at the hospital first thing tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Well, yes. We should visit them.

But I'm worried Yeong I would kick me out.

I guess you said something mean to her again.

When Yeong I called earlier,

she asked me if you were okay.

I heard you two had an argument.

You know she has a lot going on. Why did you upset her again?

Well...

She came to pick up a few things for Mi Ri Nae in a rush,

but she was going to leave without even saying hello to us.

It hurt my feelings, so I just said a thing or two.

A thing or two?

Yeong I wouldn't call that an argument.

My mouth is to blame.

I said it was her fault that Do Jin died...

and that she'd get Mi Ri Nae killed.

I said she had a horrible fate.

Why on earth did I say such things to her face?

My gosh. It's scary.

If someone said that to me, I'd be so hurt too.

You actually said those things to Yeong I?

You're really something.

When you see Yeong I, just zip your lip and say nothing.

There are some things that you should never say.

It'd be hurtful to hear a stranger say such things.

How could you say those things as her mother-in-law?

I regret it too, honey.

But Yeong I lashed out at me too.

You weren't there, so you have no idea.

But she can be vicious.

Too bad I don't have a witness.

I'm going to scold Kyung Jun harshly when he gets home.

No one would welcome him at the hospital.

I can't believe he missed the board meeting...

to get the test done at the hospital.

The board members...

decided to keep the vice president position vacant...

for the time being.

They don't trust Kyung Jun.

Kyung Jun...

will prove what he can do...

and get that position on his own anyway,

so don't worry about it.

And that child is ill.

Even with Se Jun aside,

we're hugely indebted to that family.

Have you forgotten...

how Kyung Jun regained his eyesight?

Mi Ri Nae needs bone marrow.

How could Kyung Jun sit back and do nothing?

I won't force you to get the test done.

But...

if Kyung Jun wants to do it, don't stop him.

It'll help him feel a bit more at ease.

Father.

I, too, feel so bad for Mi Ri Nae.

My heart breaks for her, and I'm worried too.

But Kyung Jun is...

You know that his surgery could've gone wrong.

I wouldn't worry if he didn't have an underlying condition.

I'm just worried about him as his father.

Don't you get it?

I'm home.

Follow me, Kyung Jun. Let's talk in my room.

Yi Jae.

One moment, Father.

I know what you're worried about.

But...

you can stop worrying now.

They...

found a donor.

What?

I just found out.

Father, what you're worried about will not happen.

As for the board meeting, I'll organize another one soon.

I'm really sorry I made you worry.

I'll be upstairs.

(Letter from the Milky Way)

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

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

Well...

Right.

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.

You can promise me that, right?

Yes. I promise.

(Voice Memos)

"Child."

"My home, the Milky Way,"

"is like a lake where longing stars reside."

"When someone on Earth..."

"misses me dearly and wants to see me,"

"I will become a shooting star..."

"and run to that child."

You're adorable.

"The cold, dark night."

"The long night."

"I truly hope that you can endure it."

"I am traveling a long distance..."

"across mountains and oceans..."

"to go to you, who is waiting for me."

"When the sun rises in the morning,"

"you will flaunt your pure, innocent beauty..."

"and run around the garden with a big smile on your face."

"Then you'll say this."

"'Mom,'"

"'I had an amazing dream last night.'"

"'What was the dream about?'"

"'I held a star in my arms.'"

"I love you, child."

"Be healthy and happy."

Thank you for sending the audio file of the new book.

It made Mi Ri Nae so happy first thing in the morning.

She's listened to it five times already.

(Yeong I)

The illustrations are nice too.

I'll drop off the book soon.

(I'll drop off the book soon.)

Hey, you're here.

Mr. Jang has already left for work.

Yes, I told him I had to talk to you.

Anyway, have you looked into it?

I know you were worried,

but Sim Won Sub confessed without denying it.

He said it was his fault he died.

He confessed to everything that happened that day.

I was worried he'd try to play dumb...

or pin everything on Se Jun.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Yes.

When is his trial?

Why? Do you want to attend the trial?

But it'd be uncomfortable for you to see Yeong I's family.

Will you be all right?

I should be there.

Just because it makes me uncomfortable,

it doesn't mean I can avoid it.

You're heading out now?

If that's for my father, I can drop it off for you.

The thing is...

This is your family portrait.

I visited Ms. Cha yesterday.

She asked for a family photo.

One with you and Chairman Jang in it too.

I can take that.

You're going to visit her yourself?

I should visit her at least once.

Why won't they come out?

Mom.

Dad?

What? Where did they go?

- What? - Hey.

It's still early. Where did you have to go?

We went to see your uncle.

This early?

I see. Did you visit them because...

you heard about Mi Ri Nae's donor?

Yes, that's right.

Then why are you back already?

You didn't have breakfast with them?

Everyone's busy.

We just dropped by to say hello.

Get going. You'll be late.

Well, all right. See you later.

See you.

You know, yesterday...

Let me make breakfast first.

We had a long night. It's been a while, you know?

You must be starving.

Come on. That was nothing.

I'm full of energy.

Should I vacuum?

Gosh, honey.

You don't need to clean the house.

I'll make some food for you. Just eat that and get some sleep.

I'll be quick.

Hello. Let's see.

Mi Ri Nae, did you sleep well?

Did you have a good dream?

Yes. Thanks to the sparkling stars,

I have such a happy dream every night.

We installed neon star lights.

That's what she's talking about.

I see.

Has the donor's health checkup been scheduled?

Yes, it'll be done today.

A health checkup? Why?

It's just part of the procedure. Don't worry.

Yes. As soon as the results become available,

the donor will be admitted,

and we'll start getting ready for the surgery.

So just make sure her condition doesn't get worse.

I'm worried because her energy levels keep dropping.

And she's vomited a few times at night.

I hope she can get the surgery as soon as possible.

We're doing our best to finalize the date by the end of the week,

so don't worry.

We'll talk soon.

Mom!

Grandma.

You're here.

Eun Ho.

Thanks so much for everything.

Mom, why are you here?

Don't upset Yeong I. You need to leave.

Am I not allowed to come here?

I came to see my granddaughter. Got a problem with that?

It's fine if you're just going to see her and leave.

But the problem is, you always pick on Yeong I.

What's that in your hand?

You brought food?

My gosh. You brought so much food.

You brought fresh clothes for Yeong I too?

We got them, so you can leave now.

Goodness. You can go home.

Who said you could come here so often?

Well, I just tag along whenever Eun Ho comes here.

Like a needle and thread.

- Do Young. - Yes?

Do you mind stepping out?

Will you be all right, though?

Yeong I. If anything happens, just scream. Okay?

You brat.

Mi Ri Nae, let's go get some air.

Come here.

(Evergreen University Hospital)

I thought you'd kick me out.

I guess you still consider me your mother-in-law.

So? You got to say everything you wanted.

Do you feel better now?

I still have some things that I want to say.

Can I say it?

Gosh, don't.

If I heard more of that, I'd have a dream about it.

And if you're going to say stuff like that,

do it in front of the family.

I don't want to be the only one who knows how feisty you are.

I guess I'm becoming like you.

It's natural to pick up habits from those who you live with.

Yes, you're right.

We lived together for years.

I honestly don't know why I always upset you like that.

I tell myself not to do it,

but my mouth has a life of its own.

I'd stitch my lips together if I could.

Well, I'm sure you don't really want to sit here and stare at my face.

I came to drop this off.

Here, hold on.

Meatballs, Mi Ri Nae's favorite.

Seasoned spinach and radish. They're not spicy.

You made meatballs.

You didn't have to make the rolled omelet. It's a lot of work.

You like it.

Rolled omelet with cheese and toasted seaweed.

Goodness, are you a kid?

You don't like rice with beans,

so I made a new batch with just sweet rice and millet.

And this too. I brought you some fresh clothes.

Get changed. You'll stink soon.

You'd be a perfect mother-in-law if you weren't so blunt.

I'm off.

Stay and eat with us, Mother.

Do you really mean it?

Yes, eat with us.

Mi Ri Nae was waiting for you.

I'll go get her. Let's eat together.

All right, then.

Oh, right. I bought these on my way here.

Goodness. I know your kid is ill,

but you shouldn't look so depressed.

Brighten up a little. It'll invite good luck.

Here, apply this now.

Here, I can do it.

Here's a mirror. Use this.

Goodness. They said one sweep would do.

The sales associate was right.

You look much better now.

Yes, you're right.

Thank you, Mother. This isn't heavy at all.

Try this too.

Use them every day, okay?

Okay.

- I'll go get them. - All right.

(Cafe Pareut)

What's wrong? Are you in pain?

Do Sik, I think...

What? What is it?

Hoppy and Binky...

must be very strong.

I just felt them wriggling and squirming...

in my womb.

It means they're moving around. I want to feel it too.

Why aren't they moving?

Wait.

That's strange.

Hoppy and Binky. It's me, Daddy.

Kick once more, okay?

They're moving. I can feel the vibration!

It's coming from your back pocket, not my belly.

Your phone's buzzing.

Right.

(Father)

Why is he calling now?

What is it? Must you interrupt me at this important time?

This is an important time for the restaurant too. We're packed!

Get back here now unless you want to get fired!

Okay.

I have to go.

Eun Jin, tell Hoppy and Binky that I really want to feel them tonight.

Okay, just get going.

Why won't you move when your daddy is trying to feel you?

Daddy's hurt.

The photo you asked Ms. An to bring for you.

I brought it.

Why would you do that for me?

I'm here to ask you something.

Why did you...

hate me so much?

Kyung Jun.

I liked you...

because you were my mother.

Even after I realized you were my stepmother,

I was...

grateful to you for giving birth to my brother...

and raising me.

Why did you do that to me?

When I received that package from Ms. Na,

I felt like...

my whole world was collapsing.

That's why I became desperate to regain my eyesight.

I wanted to ask you why you had to do that to me.

I kept telling myself that I'd be sure to ask you...

once I could outpower you.

That's how I've held out until now.

Yes, I know.

Even after you found out what I did,

you kept it to yourself for years...

to protect the family.

Why did you do that to me?

I was...

only five years old.

Why did you have to do that?

I know this will sound like a mere excuse,

but...

I...

come from nothing.

I always had to plead with others and beg...

to get anything...

only...

to get them stolen or taken away in no time.

That's why...

even after I became Jang Yi Jae's wife...

and the daughter-in-law of the chairman of TS Retail,

I always...

I was always anxious.

I thought getting rid of the source of my anxiety...

was the only thing...

I could do to protect my position.

I'm...

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

I wanted...

to hear your apology.

But now that I've heard it,

it feels so futile.

I think...

we've come way too far, Ms. Cha Yoon Hee.

I still...

can't forgive you.

I can't even bring myself to ask for your forgiveness.

The fact that you came to see me like this is enough...

As your mother... I mean, I am...

I'm...

When I can...

truly forgive you,

I will...

call you my mother again.

(Evergreen University Hospital)

Mi Ri Nae.

It's me.

You haven't forgotten...

our promise, right?

You're a strong girl,

so I know your surgery will go well.

Soon, you'll fully recover and go home.

Then we can meet again.

I love you,

Mi Ri Nae.

Dad?

Dad, don't go.

Don't go.

Stay here with Mi Ri Nae. Please, Dad?

(The Love in Your Eyes)

Mom, is death painful?

Will I meet Dad?

Do you not feel bad for my daughter, Mi Ri Nae?

The surgery must've begun by now.

Mi Ri Nae, let's meet again healthy and happy.

Doctor, what happened?

What's going on with Mi Ri Nae? Is there a problem?
