Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 109 >
How are you?
I'm fine.
I'm doing well.
I have something to say.
OK.
Take...
my kidney.
Take it.
I can't.
Don't do this.
You mustn't.
Don't.
Over my dead body.
No.
I've hurt you so much. I can't make you do that.
I can't do that. I just can't.
I'm not asking for your permission.
You didn't ask for mine before you left.
You never asked if I'd mind being left alone.
You just left on your own.
So now it's my turn.
You don't have a say.
You're taking my kidney.
What can you do if you don't?
You want to go somewhere and die peacefully?
No.
I'll get dialyzed and live a long life.
This won't ever happen...
You shouldn't have shown up! Why do I have to see you suffer?!
I'm not forgiving you.
I won't.
I won't hate you either.
I want to have nothing to do with you, so I won't even hate you.
I just want to be at peace.
I want to get it off my mind, so...
you're getting a transplant no matter what.
You don't have a say.
If... after all I've said...
if you dare object... Then...
I'll hate you forever.
I won't... ever forgive you.
Goodbye.
Darling!
Geum-soon.
Darling.
Geum-soon.
Can I hold your hand just this once?
Geum... Geum-soon...
Where were you all this time?
I went to your neighborhood.
You have too much free time.
Do they pay you for doing nothing?
I'm good-looking.
I deserve to do nothing.
Mrs. Kim seemed to have woken up.
You met her?
You noticed?
I'm not stupid.
Sorry.
Was it the first time since she found out?
It must've felt strange. A bit weird.
I should know.
I met him once too.
My father.
I never ever told anyone this.
It's between you and me.
Thanks to indigestion on the day of my SAT exam...
I came in second, despite my amazing IQ.
That very day, my aunt told me.
That a doctor gave me my Y chromosome.
And that he lives in Busan.
Boy, was it a surprise.
Then I understood.
Why my mom looked so sad when I said I wanted to be a doctor.
My aunt said he doesn't know about me.
He just doesn't. My mom didn't tell him.
I felt so confused.
Very strange, very weird.
I blamed my aunt.
I didn't ask for it.
Until then...
I'd thought my dad just hadn't acknowledged me.
I realized I couldn't hate him when he doesn't even know I exist.
So I went to see him.
I registered as a patient and went into his office.
He asked what the problem was.
I couldn't say I was fine, so I said I had indigestion.
He told me to lie down and pressed down on my stomach.
His hands...
were warm.
Guess what his diagnosis was.
Stress-induced gastritis. Isn't he a quack?
He smelled of alcohol, as if he'd had a drink.
He looked older than his age and he hadn't shaved either.
But there were many patients. And they seemed to like him.
It was so strange. He's a quack.
I turned back as I was about to leave.
He was smiling at me.
It felt so strange.
I was beginning to think he somehow knew we were related...
when a teenager appeared from behind and said,
''Dad.''
How embarrassing.
The end.
That was the only time we met.
What's wrong? Was it boring?
Was it?
Crazyhair.
Mister.
Want a piggyback ride?
I'm good.
I'd give you one if only you were a bit shorter.
It's late. Let's go home.
Stay put.
I'll do it.
Pardon?
It's OK.
Stay put.
Done.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Let's go, Cheetah.
What?
I'm not asking for your permission.
You didn't ask for mine before you left.
What can you do if you don't?
You want to go somewhere and die peacefully?
If you dare object... Then...
I'll hate you forever.
What are you doing?
Get out.
Why are you here?
Where are you going? You should be resting in bed.
- I don't care. - What's wrong with you?!
Let go.
I have to go.
I can't stay here any longer.
If I stay here...
Geum-soon might come again...
and tell me to get the transplant.
I have to leave.
I can't let her do that to herself.
I have to leave.
Geum-soon was here?
Don't you dare say her name.
You're not even human.
How could you?
How could a human being do such a thing?
You did it for me?
No way. You did it for yourself.
You don't want to be left alone again.
You don't want to become a single dad again.
Yes. I just wanted to save you.
That's all I wanted.
I'm sorry.
I'll send you the divorce papers.
I don't want to talk to you any longer.
Don't do this.
I told you not to touch me!
Do you know... how I feel right now?
If only I could, I want to...
sue you.
For what you did to my child.
Sue me. I don't care.
Get the transplant, as Geum-soon said.
How could you...?
Will you die then?!
What about Eun-jin?! Don't you care?!
Eun-jin's your child too. She's yours too!
Fine.
I'll divorce you, if that's what you want.
But if you want to live, you must stay here.
If you care for Eun-joo and love Eun-jin, stay here.
It's not just about you now.
You have 3 daughters.
Eun-jin.
At least you can sleep through this.
Sleep tight. Mom's fine, so don't worry.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
You don't?
Someone you're into or you love?
No one.
If that's true...
Jae-hee, you're wasting your time.
Should I laugh or cry?
When did you get home?
Sorry. I tried to keep it down.
Having ramen? You didn't have dinner?
I had a snack before surgery, but I'm hungry now.
Then have some rice. Wait a bit.
Nah, I want ramen. Go back to sleep.
I'm wide awake now.
Go to bed. Back to your sweet dreams.
I said I'm awake.
If I may say so, you're so handsome.
I agree.
You're so arrogant.
Didn't you say you might not come home?
But I came.
You have no sense of humor.
No wonder you still don't have a girlfriend.
Mom.
Forget about me. Why are YOU still single?
What?
Didn't you want to get married?
The water's boiling.
You'll cook?
Sung-ran.
Hello, Young-ran. Sorry, can you excuse us?
Sure. I was just about to leave.
Bye.
See you tomorrow.
Tell me. What's going on?
Let's sit down first.
Start talking.
You said you told your father.
That he wanted to keep it a secret from your mother. Did you not?
I did.
So?
I tried to tell them many times.
I tried to tell both my mother AND father.
I'm sorry.
I just didn't get the chance to.
Once, my mother teared up while talking about Jung-wan.
And then she got carried away saying she was so happy for us.
So you didn't tell them?
I'm sorry.
I called my father out, so we could talk in private.
But...
He told me he'd quit his job.
That he'd been pretending to go to work because he couldn't tell my mother.
I just couldn't tell him the truth.
Could YOU have?
Then you should've told me.
You should've said you just couldn't tell them.
Then you wouldn't have married me.
That's utter nonsense.
I'm sorry, Sung-ran. It's all my fault.
I know it was wrong.
I wanted to tell them after we got married, but I couldn't.
Because I knew it was wrong. And how upset you'd be.
I'm sorry. I really am.
You think apologizing will make it all better?
You deceived me so I'd marry you?
I'm completely cornered. I have to tiptoe around them forever.
How could you do this?
Did you plan all this?
You deceived me into marrying you...
thinking I'd just yell at you for a few minutes...
while hoping I wouldn't ask for a divorce over this?
No, Sung-ran.
- That's not true. - Then what?
What IS the truth? Why did you deceive me?!
I'm sorry.
I thought that was the only way to make you marry me.
Shi-wan. You can't be serious.
I'm really sorry.
Go.
Leave, I want to be alone.
I need some time to think of what to do.
Go. I'll stay here and think.
About what?
OK.
I'll go home first. Bye.
Go.
I'm sorry. I really am. It's my fault.
Shouldn't you go to bed? Want a snack?
It's easier to sleep on a full stomach.
No thanks. Go to bed if you want to.
- I need to wash and... - Granny.
Auntie. It's me.
It's so late. I thought you wouldn't come by.
Sorry I'm late.
Granny.
Are you feeling better?
Are you still angry?
Don't be like that. You've been worrying about her all day.
Is that true?
No way.
- Hi, Geum-soon. - Hello.
Granny. I have something to say.
Granny.
Let me give my mom a kidney.
What?
Please let me.
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?
Will you stay with me?
