Snow Flakes
Episode 14
[What's Stomach cancer?]
Hyung, it's you who I wanted to see originally.
But I saw the reporters at the parking lot.
It seems like they heard that you and Da Mi are staying at the same hotel.
So they came here intentionally.
Maybe someone here recognized Da Mi as well.
If not, someone must have said that Da Mi came here through the internet.
And placed the photos online.
But how is it possible?
How can they chase after Da Mi to Japan?
Hyung's phone..
I couldn't get through at all.
I didn't charge it.
Are you ok?
I'm fine.
It's stomach cancer..
It's very hard to discover it at the early stages.
Because there are no symptoms at all.
That's why we can only see the tumor clearly by using the endoscope.
Even experienced doctors can't detect this out quite often.
There are also some cases where the patients doesn't show up any symptoms till the very end.
The stomach will feel pain.
That's just about it.
And so, it'll be already too late when it's discovered.
Are you getting information right now?
Preparing for your next novel?
There are different reactions for different people during the treatment process.
So I can't clearly explain it to you.
The illness will worsen faster, the younger the person is.
For this kind of condition, it will be about two months.
The longest will be three months.
I told you already.. There will be no filial child if you lie sick in bed for too long.
Although we can't say it that way.
But still, I'm too tired of it.
How can you be saying such words when it's still to early to say that?
Early?
Just try being sick yourself.
The people who haven't been through it before won't know.
It will make people lose the will to live.
But we must still put in an effort to try.
When have I not put in effort before?
And you, as a younger brother..
Have you ever thought of being filial to our parents?
Hyung, are you not aware of my condition?
What do I know?
Hello!
Yuka..
Aren't you going out since it's Saturday, Sis?
I'm afraid that I might miss you. So I came here right after my classes end.
I have heard what Dad told Mom.
So I asked the hotel staff since I know your name.
You must keep it a secret that I came here.
Maybe..
Do you find it troublesome?
No, no..
It's alright for you to speak Korean.
Because Dad is Korean.
Although I'm unable to speak it but I'm able to listen.
Although I'm trying to speak Korean now.
But maybe I don't have the talent to learn.
So Grandpa calls me stupid.
TTHANYE... Do you know what this is?
The Korean actress that came here.
Is the daughter of Dad's friend.
This kid who just understands it like this.
Yuka..
My younger sister.
Yuka..
I love you.
It's so cute.
Hey, it's me.
Why are there so many people calling you up all of the sudden?
I've already plug off the phone line.
She's now resting.
No, she just said that she was tired.
Where is she feeling unwell?
She just said that she needed rest.
I am not sure of that either.
She gave me a few days leave. So I'll be going back home.
I got it.
I said that I will give you a call.
When will you be coming back?
Let's contact again later.
Hello..
Prepare to come out after a while.
Let's change the place.
I've already paid up the hotel expenses.
All you have to do is to check out.
The porter will bring down your luggage.
You'll just have to move to another place.
I'll go fetch you when the CCTV's off.
Just wait till no one is at the front desk.
I'll contact you again.
You must change the place even if it's for a day.
It's Hyung's idea.
Ahjumma, I'll be going.
Hello..
Why is it only now?
Kang Ae..
There were lots of times that I had thoughts of dying.
And even beg the heavens to let me die.
Even that period is also over.
Why is it now?
Why must it be now?
What wrong had I done?
Two months..
Three months..
Does these seem like words?
Do I still have to believe that this is my fate?
I feel that I'm going crazy.
What wrong did I done actually.. To let me become like this now? What?!
Kang Ae..
My heart is even more painful than yours.
Come in.
Da Mi's movie premiered.
People calling and showing up at the house...
They were so noisy that she went to Young Pyung to get some rest for a couple of days.
She told Jeong Ja to get some rest and take a few days off as well.
Coffee or Green tea?
Yes, green tea.
We returned home with Sin Ae and Sin Beom today after watching the movie.
Da Mi..
She acted really well.
She's really good.
Is that so?
That's right.
Da Mi, she's really like her Mom.
That movie earned lots of money because of Da Mi.
I have no feelings of guilt.
This is how I live.
- That's right. - An actor.
After he has seen Da Mi's movie.
He became like this day and night.
Really going crazy.
Who does he take after?
Do you know the phone number to Young Pyung?
Why? Is there anything urgent?
Oh, Hyung..
You're alone?
Yes..
It looks like you already drank a lot.
I wanted to drink today.
How's your work?
Being a doctor is really meaningful.
I listen to other people talk seriously about their pains and illnesses.
But I can't let myself be too involved either.
If not, I won't be able to withstand it at all.
I..
..really, really want to cure them.
But can that be as I wish?
I don't know what I'm doing.
Are you under a lot of stress?
There's a patient who's in the last stage of stomach cancer.
She started taking medicine from me and coming for treatment years ago.
That person has a stressful job as well.
This is all I can think of.
I only know it now.
When has it reached this stage.. That nothing can be done to help?
Doctors are always like this.
Enduring the pain by yourselves.
Because you don't want to make your family suffer.
Is this why you remain unmarried?
You heard it, right?
I have decided to get married with Lee Kang Ae.
But it's really strange that I couldn't contact her all day today.
Hyung, till when can you stay by her side?
What do you mean by that?
Of course, it's until death.
Mom..
I want to eat.
I'm so hungry.
Yes..
Where have you been to?
There are lots of miracles happening in other hospitals.
But these are miracles that people doesn't see often.
At least not in our country.
If I accept the hospital's treatment.
What good comes out of it?
It can slow down the deterioration of your illness.
It can also prolong your life.
How long?
I don't know it either.
Surgery is already impossible, right?
It doesn't seem real.
My body has a disease like this.
But why doesn't it feel real?
I should've listened to you earlier about doing a check-up.
Next time, next time.
I didn't know what I believed in.
I was really too naive.
It's all my fault.
I should have forced you to do a check-up.
It's not your fault.
I have never suspected it before.
There are lots of illnesses in the world.
Why did I ever believe that I'll never get sick?
There was nothing for me to believe in.
Sorry..
If you were me..
What will you do?
I won't give up just like this.
It's better for you to accept treatment.
Why not?
Accepting treatment means that I have to lie in a hospital bed everyday.
I don't want to die like that.
I don't want to.
I have already decided.
Just like it was before.
Just like nothing has ever happened before.
Living out my remaining life.
Won't it be just like that if I didn't know anything?
I don't know anything.
You must help me.
Then, what about Dong Woo?
Are you planning too keep it from him till the end?
Honey, look over there. It's pretty right?
Did you wait long?
You're here.
Why am I unable to contact you?
You must at least tell me where you were going.
What do you want to drink?
I already drank something.
Coffee.
Please give me a cup of coffee.
You look unwell.
It's because I'm too tired.
What's there to be tired about when you're doing nothing?
Did the re-examination results came out yet?
It's fine.
I have a thing that I'm really curious about.
Just say it.
That person in New York..
How is she now?
Why are you asking this suddenly?
I'm suddenly curious about this.
Maybe.. you came here, so that you won't have to take care of her.
She's staying at a hospice.
What's her illness?
It's lung cancer.
She doesn't have much time left to live.
Staying over there is much better than having me to take care of her since they are professionals.
Didn't you say that you didn't take care of her from the start?
You said she had a nurse?
Even if that's considered true..
I still have things that I have to do as well.
Is it really painful?
She will use painkillers to subdue it.
After the time passes..
She will vomit and start speaking nonsense.
The comforting words that will work normally, won't be able to work at that time.
She feels really lonely.
It must be really tiring.
For that person..
She doesn't feel that.
Because she's already under the effect of the painkillers.
It's harder on the people around her.
It's painful.. It hurts.. It's painful..
A screw is stuck in my ear.
Let's stop talking about this.
Have you contacted Da Mi?
When is she coming back?
What are you thinking of?
I really feel sorry towards you.
Our wedding plans..
I'm still unable to do it.
Did Da Mi say no?
Can I lie down for awhile?
Of course.
And so, are you going to rest in the bed the whole day today?
You should have called me.
Since you are sick.
It's better like this.
I wanted to lie in the bed like this without moving at all.
I wanted to be sick.
You don't have much of a fever.
Just like dreaming.
I became an actress.
Made a movie..
All of these are just like a dream.
I became popular and lots of people know me. What's so good about it?
What I had seen during this period is really not bad.
But now I suddenly have the thought of going back to my original position.
Is that all? You're just changing your mind?
I'm really sorry towards you.
Sorry?
I had thought about it really seriously.
How can such a thing just come and go like this?
I really can't understand you at all.
What's the real problem?
Tell me the truth.
Is it about that woman?
No..
Then what's it?
Is it because of your ex-husband again?
If it's because of that I can wait for you,
and I can still bear with it.
Because that's your wound.
I know that you need time to heal it.
It's not because of that.
Then what is it?
What am I actually considered to be in your eyes?
You clearly know how I feel. Must you use this method to reject me?
You..
Let's go out.
Let's talk again outside.
Let's go out.
I..
..have decided to go on a tour.
You won't be able to see me when you come back from New York.
You...
..are really mean.
Yuka, what's wrong?
Did anything happen?
Yuka..
That sister..
That sister that came from Korea, Yoo Da Mi.
Who is she?
Who is that sister, Dad?
What happened?
Where did you heard that from?
Is she Dad's daughter?
Yuka, about Dad..
Tomoko, they..
..brought the picture of that Korean actress to school.
It was that sister.
I told them that she's here right now.
It's a sister that I know.
Tomoko.. We checked the internet because we are curious.
It was the picture of that sister.
She said that her Dad is a businessman.
And he's working in Japan.
And also, the name of her Dad was also written on top of it.
Yuka..
How can you be like this?
Yuka..
Yuka?
Have a talk with Mom, ok?
Yuka..
You're a good child, so you must listen to Mom.
I know that it's really difficult to understand.
But..
Dad is really tired because of this. He's more tired than you can imagine.
Although you may feel that your Dad lied.
Your Dad still has another daughter.
Not only is this the truth.
It's also true that your Dad loves the both of you as well.
Your Dad has been working hard for you is also the truth.
And so, Yuka..
Don't be angry with your Dad for lying..
..and not telling the whole truth.
Yuka..
Mom, I..
Because of the things your Dad gave me.
I've been living with a grateful heart.
That's also because.. That's also because..
That is what he feels as well.
Mom! I'm back!
Da Mi, Mom's home!
Why's no one answering?
Mom! Da Mi!
I'm alone, they all left already.
Mom, are you listening?
Raising Da Mi in this house..
It's a really happy thing, do you know that?
My daughter is pretty and smart.
And she has good manners as well.
Mom, didn't you say so before?
What's the use of these, if people just know how to envy?
Mom's words were right.
Another thing follows closely by another.
Novelist Lee Kang Ae..
The author with great books sales.
What's the use of all these?
These are really useless..
Mom.
I've lived like a fool for so long.
All of you are not by my side either.
Where have you gone to?
Take these when there is an emergency.
These are painkillers.
The effect is really good.
Although normally it'll take about over twelve hours for it to work.
But it's better for you to take it.
No one will know how painful it'll be.
Let's go to the hospital.
I'll do my best.
Why must you still talk so big when it's already incurable?
Kang Ae.
I'm really angry..
I want to throw my temper a lot.
But I don't know where I'm supposed to throw it to.
What did you say?
Do you know what I'm feeling now?
Ji Na's Mom was also like that.
She threw her temper a lot.
Saying that I'm bad.
Aren't you a doctor?
What have you been doing until now?
How can you not know that your wife is suffering from an incurable illness?
Is that so?
Do you still have tears to show?
Hey, are you here?
Kang Ae is here.
Hey!
What? Are you sick?
I ate something on an empty stomach.
You upset your stomach?
Jeong Ja isn't back yet?
She should be returning in the afternoon.
What is it? How can you be sick when you're resting and not doing anything?
That's right.
Wait a moment while I cook some porridge for you.
Hey, Da Mi's movie is going great in sales.
Sin Beom says that her name 'Yoo Da Mi' should be change to 'Yoo Da Buy.'
Ji Sub..
When I am unable to fight through it...
Find me a hospital then.
I don't want to be laying in a hospital bed already and get useless treatments for an incurable disease.
Ok?
Hyung said that he'll be able to block it and I believe him too.
But it looks like it's useless.
Are you listening?
Yes..
I also heard that Ho Sung has requested an inquiry.
It was them who leaked out this news.
And so as to say, the reporters aren't there to look for Da Mi.
They've been following you.
She's still at a young age. Creating a clean image for her should've been first.
But Da Mi and the company will be encountering problems.
That's a really big possibility.
We can only let it rest as quickly as possible.
I'm still doing bean spout rice, ok?
It's still better to have that.
Put in an egg, prawns and some sauces.
Where's the bean spouts?
I bought it.
When is Jeong Ja returning?
She called me and I told her to come back after dinner since nothing is urgent.
Then is there no one around?
Right..
My heart is weeping.
I maybe smiling on the outside but I'm actually crying.
You can't do anything since Sin Ae likes him.
That's right, although she's the one that will be finding her own fate,
It just makes me angry whenever I think about it.
The more I look at him, the more stupid he looks.
He even stutters when he talks.
Awhile ago, he even promised to stop seeing Sin Ae's Dad.
And than he bought Sin Ae's Dad candies, silver pen, and gum.
All of these really..
Has he ended it all with the other party?
How can he not break up with her when everything is already like this?
So I said, look at that, of course he's a doctor, with that side to him.
I wonder what kind of person will our Da Mi bring to see me.
Oh my, that's still a long way to go.
Why are you worrying when there's still lots of time?
Then, you must help me look at him at that time.
Of course, I'll help you.
Just stay here, I'll answer it.
Hello!
Yes, why?
You got the wrong number, no..
Who called?
It's a wrong number.
So he was there to discuss the wedding today.
You are so right..
The four of them were so happy that they sticked together to go out.
I too, want to know if his family is good or not.
Since it's the family that a daughter is going to.
The adults looks really honest.
You don't have any strength?
No, it's just..
Hey, go and rest awhile on the sofa.
I'll chatter away in front of you, so keep me in rhythm.
Ok..
[Yoo Da Mi's secret meeting in Japan]
Come over here as well, it's much warmer here.
Yes..
She has already checked out.
I heard that she changed rooms.
Yes, but she has already checked out from it 30mins ago.
It's because I wasn't informed but..
Did she left any message?
Yes, she left a message.
Is it for Ms. Yuka?
There's a message for Ms. Yuka.
Yuka..
We can't see each other because I have to leave.
To have known Yuka after coming here,
I really envy you.
Yuka's joyful smile..
Open heart..
Your affection towards me.
And the fresh air in Nagasaki.
I won't forget anything.
I'm leaving without talking to your parents in person.
So I hope that Yuka will inform them for me..
I'll pray from somewhere far away that your family stays forever in happiness.
Hello!
Oh, Mr. Ha.. Where's Da Mi?
I just sent her in.
I can't inform you at all because it happened too quickly.
Sorry..
Yuka, say your greetings..
This is Da Mi's friend.
Mr. Ha, this is my daughter, Yuka.
It's nice meeting you, I'm Yeong Chan.
It's nice meeting you too, I'm Yuka.
It's so refreshing..
The unhappiness in my heart are all gone.
Is your stomach better?
It's rather good.
Then, eat well.
They should be back soon since they are out for so long.
The more I think, the more I feel that this man is only caring about his own thoughts.
Who's the person that should be angry?
They threw me alone here while they went out to play. They should have took me along.
Didn't you say so before?
I only said it once.
I would have said it three or four times if I really mean it.
You are lonely, right?
Then, don't wash the dishes since Jeong Ja is coming back.
What else can I do now?
Well, Kang Ae..
I plugged out the phone line just now.
The house is really quiet after I plugged it out.
It's tiring to be stars these days.
What?
Didn't I say that pictures can be photoshopped using computer and then post it as news?
It's just like the real thing.
What are you talking about?
I'm back..
Oh, you're here.
Did you come back after dinner?
Why is your face like this?
Da Mi..
Have you seen the news yet?
This kid..
How could this happen?
Did they make a mistake?
- Please give us some comments. - Is this real or not?
- Please say something.. - Ms. Yoo Da Mi..
- Is this real or not, please answer.. - Ms. Yoo Da Mi..
- Ms. Yoo Da Mi.. Please say something..
- Is this real or not? - Ms. Yoo Da Mi..
- Ms. Yoo Da Mi.. Please say something..
Please say something..
Yes, Chairman..
We are now on the way home.
Yes, please don't mention it.
Yes, I'll do it.
Oh my..
I'm so sorry..
Ms. Da Mi, what's there for you to be sorry about?
Hey, drive faster..
Yes..
Mr. Manager..
Yes..
Why did the reporters came there?
It's better that you don't know about it. It's complicated.
Just pretend that you don't know.
It's worthless to answer.
It's because of my Mom, right?
What did they say?
They have even said out the dirty words.
They said that you have met for the first time in Japan.
Really..
What's happening here?
The house behind me right now is the home of actress 'Yoo Da Mi'.
- Could it be the truth? - Why isn't she here yet?
What is happening here?
I wonder too..
Hey, get up!
Get up, Sin Beom! Get up quickly!
Look over there..
Oh, is there a fire?
It seems like a live broadcast.
Did anything happen at Ahjumma's place?
- Ms. Yoo Da Mi, are you inside? - Ms. Yoo Da Mi..
- Please open the door. - Ms. Yoo Da Mi..
- Ms. Yoo Da Mi, come out and say something.. - Ms. Yoo Da Mi, come out..
Ms. Yoo Da Mi, come out and say something..
Hello..
Professor, this is Chairman Ha.
Speak..
All the news are false.
And this time, we're not going to let this matter pass like this.
I'm sorry to trouble you.
My thoughts are the same.
Then..
Contact Manager Oh.
Yes..
And inform Yoo Da Mi as well.
Yes, I understand.
Why are you suddenly buying a girl's watch?
Aren't you always uninterested in girls?
That's why I need help from you.
Please help me choose a prettier one.
What kind of girl is she?
It's just that I like her a lot.
You're smiling just by thinking of her?
What about this?
It's from someone I know long before I met you.
He's a good person.
What are we to do?
Prepare for a press meeting tomorrow.
Press meeting?
I'm marrying Ms. Kim Yu Na.
Yeong Chan Oppa..
He's Sin Beom's senior when he was studying there.
We got along really well.
Is that so?
I went touring lots of places with Oppa.
We went to the sea, the Peace Park and the city of glass as well.
It's really warm there.
Right, it's a warm place.
The motel that Mom went before.
I went there too.
It's great, right?
Yes, it's very clean and it's better than the hotels.
Japan is like this.
But then, it's much more expensive than the hotels.
Mom.
What?
You must've been shocked when you saw the news.
That's right, I had a shock.
But I believe you.
I believe that this is not the truth.
You don't know how much I worried about you.
What am I to do if you don't believe me at all.
What am I to do if you get angry.
But now I'm so relieved.
I feel that I can live again.
Sorry..
To let you worry about these.
It's me that should be sorry.
These are medicines for you.
Medicine?
Aren't you always complaining of stomach aches and indigestion?
Eat these for good digestion.
Thanks..
Mom will be healthy for sure because of my daughter.
Da Mi..
What?
Come, let's hug.
The period that you are in Japan.
I would come to your room daily to have a look.
Is that so?
Yes..
I missed you a lot.
Do you like the new make-up table and curtains?
A lot.
Thank you..
It's great that my Da Mi is back.
Mom is really happy.
Come in..
Not sleeping yet?
I was about to.
You're not yet sleepy?
Yes..
Then, stay a while with me before you go.
Really?
Didn't you come here originally with that in mind?
Oh, you caught me.
This feels really strange.
What?
Being apart for half a month.
But I feel that you have suddenly grown up when you came back.
It must be that I was really childish before.
Childish?
Of course, I was childish.
I only know how to hurt Mom's heart.
You knew?
I know..
I didn't know it at that time.
I don't know why I was like that either.
Mom too.
How do you feel after you met your Dad?
Why aren't you talking about it?
It was good..
You're not mentioning it because you're scared of hurting me?
It's alright.
There's nothing to say about it.
He treats me well, brought me places to see and eat good things.
He wanted to take me to see Grandpa as well.
Is that so?
But I rejected it.
You should see him once.
He's your grandpa.
Mom, you don't like it right?
I don't like it either.
Mom..
Get married to Ahjussi, ok?
I really mean that.
Da Mi, let's go on a trip.
A trip?
Yes, you and me.. Just the two of us.
For real?
Just the two of us?
When are we going?
Look over there, there..
Mom, let's ski together.
It's not hard at all.
I have forgotten about it, I don't know how to do it at all.
I'm going for some tea alone, just come find me when you're done skiing.
When is the last time you skied?
It's already twelve, thirteen years.
When I still haven't divorced your Dad.
Then, you haven't skied even once from then?
I didn't have time to.
Then, ski together with me.
I'll be your teacher.
Don't do it.
Mom!
Enough.
It's so good..
Me too..
You are copying me, right?
It was you who teased me before.
Following me all day and repeating my words.
Is that so?
Yes, you were really cute.
You were only following me behind in the beginning.
Bringing a really big tail, just like a duckling.
Me?
Right.
You can really eat sweet potatoes.
I called you potatoes when you were young.
I remember.
Why does my daughter look like a potato?
Dad said it, right?
That scene is still vivid in my eyes even right now.
Mom..
It's really hot, be careful.
My face is really hot, Mom.
Put on some cream later.
Ok..
Is there anything..?
I got to know it from Jeong Seon.
She said that you came here for a trip.
You're here.
Mom, I'm going back first.
Why is Da Mi like that?
I want to do everything for you.
If you agree.
Please take Da Mi back to Japan.
And to know when I have to send away the people that I love.
There'll be a day that we won't be apart anymore.
I sent her away to forget her as it is because I love her.
Do you love Dad a lot?
Of course.
I loved him more than the rest of the people in the world.
Let me look at my daughter.
