Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 94 >
Did you sleep well?
Yes. What about you?
Me too. Were you upset I wasn't here?
You can't be around all the time. I'd rather be with Eun-joo anyway.
Thank you for pulling through.
I feel both grateful and sorry towards you.
Did Eun-jin go to school?
If I could...
I'd ask the doctor to erase my memory during the surgery.
- Geum-soon. - Like you said...
I can't forgive her.
I'm not surprised. Of course you can't.
So I'll forget about her.
That's all I can do to punish her.
But if I ignored her, and her condition worsened...
that would be too much to bear.
That's why.
I know. That's why I told you.
Exactly. So do as I say.
I got drunk to forget everything.
I went to a ball game.
I screamed like crazy, and sometimes even cursed.
It was so noisy, no one heard me.
Well done.
But still...
Auntie. You and uncle brought me up.
Granny couldn't have managed had it not been for you.
You're right.
See? This is the least I can do.
I really didn't want his help, but I'll pay him back, so it's OK.
Within 3 years.
Are you really OK with that?
Yes. I'm fine.
If that's what you want.
Thank you.
Why won't you visit your grandmother? You hate her for what she did?
She's worried about you.
She went to your house and met Tae-wan.
He told her you were busy, so she became relieved.
You hate her?
No.
I did for a few days, but not anymore.
I miss her a lot. She's all I have.
She's worried about me, isn't she?
More garlic to peel?
I have time to kill. I'll earn money while I can.
Granny.
Gosh, who's this?
Granny.
You're still alive, are you?
Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at work?
I should, but I wanted to see you all of a sudden.
Why you...
I'm sorry. I was too busy to call.
I heard you asked Tae-wan how I was.
Yes.
You won't call, won't answer your phone, won't come by.
I'm so sorry.
You should be.
Granny.
What's up with you?
What's gotten into you now?
You know you did something wrong?
You should've at least called me.
I was so worried.
I know. I won't ever let it happen again.
Don't.
Were you that busy?
Yes. Very busy.
Why have you lost so much weight?
I can feel your bones.
You must've been really busy.
I was.
Gosh. Let's see.
Your cheeks have sunk.
Hair perming is that exhausting?
Oh dear... I can't help with that.
Is there anything I can do?
My goodness... Is it that tough?
There's no free lunch. We have to do a good job.
Gosh...
No, don't waste any more time.
It's now or never.
Get it over and done with. You must.
You won't get another chance.
Hello?
Mr. Kim Jin-goo?
I'm Na Sang-do's wife.
Wait, don't hang up.
I didn't call to beg. I have the money.
I called to ask you to settle the case.
Yes, I have the money. Let's settle.
Hello. Good morning. Hi.
You're early.
Don't you hate it when it's hot?
Summers are supposed to be hot.
Unless it's a freezing summer.
That was really lame.
Geum-soon, you're in a good mood.
Hello.
Sorry I was gloomy. I'll smile from now on.
Good.
I'll teach you how to color hair this week.
- OK. - OK.
- I'll get changed. - Sure.
I'm so relieved. Construction's over.
Congratulations. Well done.
Thanks.
Let's celebrate tonight. I'll buy you dinner.
I can get us a room too.
Too bad. I can't make it. How about tomorrow?
How come?
My father called. He wants to have dinner together.
You didn't ask me.
I know your schedule. Next time, OK?
Whatever. Forget it.
- Come on. - It's your fault.
I've been working like crazy for a month.
Do I have to go home early today? You think I'd want to?
Don't you care what I want?
What's the big deal with having dinner together?
Everyone has their own life. Isn't breakfast enough?
Forget about today. Do you ever want to come home early?
When was the last time you thought you should go home early?
What's this about?
You should know.
I understand and respect your opinion.
But there are times when I wonder what married life means to you.
You want to keep our incomes separate.
That too. Don't you think that's a bit offensive?
Why is it offensive?
We earn and spend what we can separately.
That's why it's offensive.
You don't trust me because I earn less.
And why separately? We're a couple.
I'd have said the same even if you earned more than me.
So what, if we're a couple? We can split up any time.
What?
We're only a couple for as long as our love lasts.
You think it'll last forever because we're in love now.
But you never know what might happen to our relationship in the future.
Who knows what'll happen?
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Am I wrong? Correct me if I am.
- Sung-ran. - What, Shi-wan?
Sit here.
We're done. Would you like some tea?
No thanks.
Geum-soon, an ample, please.
Sure, miss.
Excuse me.
Hello.
It's so hot.
Make us some iced tea.
Sure.
That's good. So the shock didn't last for a long time?
No. She didn't go to the ICU this time.
Thank you.
How refreshing.
Everyone knows Dr. Jang loves her to death.
I've never seen a man adore his wife as much as he does.
Well, your father is a bit older than she is.
He should look after her if he wants to...
Why are you standing there?
You want to talk to me?
No.
Not in front of the staff.
OK, sorry. I forgot.
Did you and Jae-hee fight last night?
Why?
He was in a bad mood this morning.
Sometimes he can be really annoying.
What did he say?
Nothing much. He was just upset about something.
What happened last night?
I'm here to hand in a written agreement.
Over there.
(Prosecutor: Bae Sun-ho)
It's over.
I did it. If she kills me, so be it.
Honey.
Hi.
What's wrong? You look down.
Honey.
What's wrong? What happened?
What is it? Tell me what happened.
Something good happened.
Something good?
Hang in there. We settled the case.
I repaid all your creditors.
You did?
Where'd you get the money?
I borrowed it.
What? From who? Who'd lend us that much?
My relatives, of course.
You mean... your brother?
Yes, my older brother.
Mister, don't look at the camera.
Let's see your back.
Lean back, exactly.
Look here.
Not you, mister. Turn your back at me.
Bye.
- See you tomorrow. - Goodbye.
So the shock didn't last for a long time?
No. She didn't go to the ICU this time.
Hi.
Hello.
You're going home?
Yes.
You're late. I got off early...
Isn't the hot weather annoying?
Summer's like that.
Yeah... It is...
You want to sit down?
No, I have to go.
Wait.
Have a seat. They make good coffee.
What the heck are you doing?
Here you go.
OK. Thanks.
Especially you, Sung-ran. For agreeing to it.
It's Shi-wan's money, not mine.
But this wouldn't have happened if you'd said no.
I'm in it because my wife said yes.
I'm home.
She's home.
Hello, sir, ma'am.
- Shi-wan. - Hi.
Sung-ran, you're home too.
- You're home early. - To make up for yesterday.
I bought some fish to make spicy soup.
Ma'am, I bought two rockfish. I'll go cook dinner.
Dinner's ready. We just have to set the table.
- It's done? - Yes.
Put it in the fridge first.
Mr. Noh has something to say.
I'm home.
- Tae-wan. - He's on time for a change.
Geum-soon, put that in the fridge.
Tae-wan, you sit down.
- Let's sit down. - Sure.
Sit down.
- Geum-soon. - Yes?
Why did you drink so much yesterday?
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be.
Something's bothering you, right?
Tae-wan told us.
I couldn't keep it a secret from them.
You didn't want us to know?
You wanted to keep it from us?
Why?
I can't believe you went through it alone.
All that pain and heartache.
That's a very bad habit, you know?
Here. It's $ 50,000.
It's not that much, but Shi-wan thinks you can settle the case with it.
Give it to your aunt.
Sir...
Shi-wan contributed $20,000.
Do you know why we're doing this?
We don't want you to consider giving her your kidney.
That'll be like selling it. I can't let you do that.
Sir.
Take the money and get that idea out of your head.
- Go on. - Sir...
Stop saying that. Shi-wan contributed too.
Shi-wan...
Take the money. All you have to say is ''thank you.''
Are you surprised?
It's a lot of money to us too.
But if Jung-wan were alive, he'd have tried to help you.
It's in his name.
And it's a bonus from us.
For working hard while bringing up Hwee-sung.
It's not bad for 3 years' work.
Take it.
Yes, Geum-soon. Take it.
Go on. Sorry I couldn't help.
But...
Do as you're told.
I can't, ma'am.
Sir, this is too much...
You can take it. It's from us, your family.
This is why I always yell at you.
You never listen and make me repeat myself.
This isn't small change to us either.
You know how stingy I am.
Just say thank you. Here.
Don't cry. You'll make the three guys cry too.
Stop.
You won't cry?
You want me to?
Ma'am... Sir... Shi-wan.
It's OK.
Whatever hurts you hurts us too.
Why do you take everything on alone?
That's what upsets me the most.
You're not alone.
I will be here for you.
So will Shi-wan, Tae-wan, and Sung-ran.
And despite her cranky attitude...
your mother-in-law here loves you more than anyone, OK?
Yes, sir.
Sir... Ma'am... Shi-wan... Sung-ran...
Thank you. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Take it.
Stop crying.
If you don't, your eyelids will look like swollen orange peel later.
What does that look like?
Look at her eyes tomorrow and you'll find out.
Geum-soon, cheer up.
As I told you before, you're not giving her your kidney.
Why keep saying something so obvious?
I'm starving. Can we have dinner now?
Sure. I'll set the table.
You're quick. You're done crying already?
She made it so far thanks to her quick wits.
One minute you're crying, the next you're laughing.
Jung-wan.
It feels like a dream.
Do I deserve the money?
And all this love?
Am I worth it?
Jung-wan.
Answer me.
I miss you so much.
When things get tough
Don't suffer alone
Now you have someone with you
Someone who loves you
Don't worry, just smile
Look around you
You're surrounded by people
Who love you as you are
When things get tough
Don't suffer alone
