Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 107 >
Can you sit up front?
OK.
Strange kind of motion sickness.
It's usually worse if you sit in the back.
What?
Get in.
I should go.
I'll give you a lift.
I want to walk.
Thanks for dinner. Bye.
Crazyhair!
I'll take you home.
What now? Did I do something wrong?
- No. - Then what's wrong?
I'll take you home.
I want to walk.
Bye.
It's not you, it's me.
Bye.
Did she... notice?
It can't be.
What's going on?
What made her go AWOL like this?
Dad.
Is it about a woman?
What nonsense.
You'd never cheat on her, especially not when she's sick.
That's why I'm even more curious.
What's going on?
It's late, go home. I'll wait here.
Go.
I'll call you when she comes back. Eun-jin's home alone.
OK.
Hello.
Has Mrs. Kim returned?
Not yet.
Worried, huh?
Of course.
I just didn't like showing it.
I was afraid she'd just collapse one day and never wake up.
I was so happy to hear she'd get a transplant.
I thought it was over and she'd be fine.
But now I feel so lost again.
I know for sure that something's up...
but dad won't say anything.
Do you know what's going on?
No.
I don't.
She'll come to get dialyzed.
You think? I hope so.
How are things with you?
Stop smiling and tell me.
She still won't return your affection?
Or are things going somewhere?
Well?
Before, I told you everything because I was clueless.
Now I know what it's like to love someone.
I won't tell you anything.
I can't.
I will when I feel comfortable around you.
Someday I'll tell you even before you ask me to.
We're home already?
What's wrong?
Tired?
A bit. It's so hot.
Not that.
Are you sure you're not pregnant?
I'm not.
Did you take a test?
You didn't.
You can't be sure. Let's check.
They sell pregnancy test kits. Let's get one.
Don't. Turn the engine off.
I already bought one.
Why didn't you say so?
I bought it to prove I'm not pregnant.
OK. Let's get out.
I'll take your bag. You can get out.
Auntie.
Hi, Geum-ah. Is granny in?
She's in bed.
She hasn't been able to sleep at all.
Go inside.
She's asleep.
Did she eat?
She had dinner with me.
That's good.
Have you eaten?
Of course I have.
How's work? Having fun?
It's still a bit hectic.
I'm sorry, Geum-soon.
I just found out.
I didn't know about the money.
Thanks a lot. You're always helping us out.
- No problem. - Don't you hate my mom?
No.
- She's asleep? - Yes.
Auntie. When will my uncle come home?
In about 2 weeks.
It takes a month for the judge to sign for his release.
It takes that long? He must feel so suffocated.
Do you know who came by today?
Your mom was here.
I was so surprised.
I don't know where she got the courage.
She told your grandma that she wouldn't have a transplant.
She'd leave the country and wouldn't come back again.
She begged your grandma to let her see you one last time.
But your grandma said no.
Sung-ran, are you done?
Sung-ran.
Wait.
OK. Take your time.
I hate mosquitoes. I couldn't sleep at all.
Hey...
Wait. Sung-ran's in there.
- I'm going in. - OK.
Well?
Come on.
Here.
2 lines mean yes, 1 means no.
How many lines are there?
Just 1 .
I told you.
Come on, we're using contraception.
I know.
- Is this accurate? - Shi-wan.
It's bean paste stew again.
My favorite. I don't mind.
Smells good.
You were late last night. I just couldn't stay up.
You're not having surgery.
OK? Answer me.
OK.
Actually she found out.
Who, your mother?
Yes.
She refused the transplant.
That's good. That's great news.
It's...
I think so too. It turned out just fine.
She had to find out. She shouldn't be kept in the dark.
It's for the best.
Yes.
Ma'am. I've been meaning to give you this.
Here. I got paid.
Isn't this your first pay in over 5 months?
I want you to have it.
Don't you need money?
Give me some pocket money.
You're bragging about bringing home this tiny amount?
You want to spend every penny, right?
You noticed?
But it's not a tiny amount.
The manager gave me an extra $200. To cover childcare expenses.
Really? How nice.
Yes.
It's yours. I've always wanted to give you money.
We should hide this.
Thanks.
It feels good to see you earn something.
- Great job. - Nice one.
Well done.
It's hard work, but don't you feel good?
I do.
We all feel valued when we get paid for our work.
We're born hunters.
It's an instinct, just like the instinct to eat and sleep.
We want to earn a living.
I got too excited. Let's just eat.
- OK. - OK.
- Eat up. - Bon appetit.
Sung-ran, did you check?
Yes. It's negative.
Really?
You're sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
We've only been married for 6 months.
I didn't complain.
About what?
We thought she was pregnant.
Hwee-sung, you'll have to wait a bit longer for a playmate.
What a pity. He'd love a younger cousin.
Hwee-sung. Will you be a good cousin?
Yes.
He said yes.
What's the time?
Dad, it's me. Is she back?
Not yet.
No calls either.
Take Eun-jin to school.
The cell phone has been turned off...
It's time for our rounds.
She's not back yet?
- Hi. - Good morning.
Hi.
I hate such hot weather.
What's wrong with your hair today?
Not yet. I'll call you when she's back.
Say bye to granny.
Let's go.
See you.
1, 2, 1, 2...
- Hello. - Hello.
The bus isn't here yet.
Hello, Hwee-sung. Eun-ji, say hello.
Hello.
Hello, Eun-ji.
Hwee-sung, you too.
- Hello. - Hello.
Good boy.
I have to tie my shoelace. Stay right there.
Hwee-sung. Hwee-sung. Are you OK?
Lady, wake up. Lady.
- Lady. - Are you OK?
Are you OK? Are you?
You should've been careful.
Sorry.
Are you OK?
I'll take him. You get up first.
Get up.
Thank you for saving his life.
Are you OK?
Yes. I'm fine.
Is the child OK?
Yes, he is.
He's fine because you shielded him.
Are you in pain? Gosh, your arm... You need help.
Get up.
Are your legs OK?
- Yes, I'm fine. - You're not. Your arm's a mess.
How are your legs?
- They're fine. - Wait.
You can't just go after saving my grandson.
It's OK.
Goodbye.
Wait.
Wait, lady.
To Hankook Hospital, please.
Honey!
Honey.
That was quick. Why did you bring him back?
Take him.
- Why? - He had a shock.
- Hold him tight. - Why, what happened?
What?
How strange. She saved him and just left?
I still don't understand.
She hurt her arm too. There was blood everywhere.
What did she look like? How old was she?
She was quite pretty. But she looked very sick.
In her late 40s maybe?
Could it have been Geum-soon's mother?
After all, she found out.
She'd want to see Geum-soon's son.
Come to think of it...
her features did look a bit like Geum-soon.
It must've been her. You mustn't tell Geum-soon.
Why not?
She'll miss her again. Especially when she saved Hwee-sung.
She'll feel bad and will want to donate her kidney.
She said she would even before they'd met.
She looked sick?
She did. She was so pale, I thought she wouldn't wake up.
I wonder where she got the energy to jump into the road.
I'm really grateful, but I still can't let Geum-soon help her.
For Hwee-sung's sake.
Got it? Don't tell Geum-soon. OK?
Mrs. Kim!
Mrs. Kim.
Help me walk.
Get a bed. Now!
What happened to you? Hang in there.
I can walk if you help me.
I can't collapse here. Take me to get dialyzed.
OK.
Take your time.
Slowly.
Honey.
What happened to her arm?
I don't know.
Please excuse us. I need to talk to my husband.
Where were you? What happened?
Let's split up.
I can't live with you.
Honey.
Nothing will make me change my mind.
If you have a conscience, sign the papers.
That's the least you can do for my daughter.
Honey.
It's over. Please leave.
Honey!
How do you feel?
Don't leave like that.
I'm sorry. But I came back in time.
You did. Can you manage?
Yes, I can.
Please leave.
Just looking at you makes me want to die. Go away.
Wait outside.
She needs to get dialyzed ASAP.
OK.
- Get things ready. - Yes, sir.
Miss Na. Remember our dinner date?
Yes.
Good. I just wanted to check. See you.
Excuse me.
Mister.
She's back?
Yes. About an hour ago.
Yes, she's fine.
Stop worrying. She's getting some rest.
She'll get dialyzed soon.
The line is busy. Please leave a message...
Will my heart still be the same?
Will you stay with me?
I pray even time will change nothing
Will your heart still be the same?
