Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 114 > It won't take long. Just a minute.
- I'm busy. Bye. - Hello?
You're always mean.
I called you a meanie before, remember?
But you did well.
- She deserved it. - Yeah.
I'm not mean, am I?
Don't.
Don't do it. I won't let you.
Say no.
What's up?
I wanted to tell you about the transplant first.
Honestly.
I wanted to tell you in person.
I'm sorry. I had no choice.
I couldn't ignore her. She's my mother.
Sorry for not listening to you.
You waited for an hour and a half to say that?
Did you?
Why are you sorry?
Don't be. Why should you be?
Why should I care what you do with your body?
I don't care anymore.
Happy now?
Bye.
Mister! I'm not happy!
If you won't let me...
Let me do this. Give me your permission.
Why?
Why do you need it?
Tell me. I need your answer.
Why do you need it?!
You're drifting away, but I'm OK
I can still feel you around me
Will your 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?
I'll make sure time will change nothing
You what?! You gave your permission?!
How dare you shout at us.
I'm so upset.
You should've told her off! Why did you give your permission?!
Because we had to. It's over, so be quiet.
We didn't want to give our permission either.
Jeez... Is this how you show your love?
Would you have given in just like that if she were your daughter?
Why you... Do you know how upset I am now?
So what, if you are? You didn't stop her with all your might.
Are you going home?
Yes.
You had dinner?
No.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
What did you do until now?
I waited until you showed up.
I'm starving. Buy me dinner.
OK. What do you want?
Something nutritious. I want some meat.
OK, let's go have BBQ.
Eat your fill.
I will. You're not hungry?
I had dinner.
You... made up your mind?
Yes.
It'll all work out.
Yup.
The meat's really tender. I guess that's why it's expensive.
Actually...
I said what I did before to scare you into refusing surgery.
Actually you can live fine with just one kidney.
One kidney can do 80, maybe even 1 00% of what both kidneys do.
80% is enough to lead a normal life.
- And kidney failure's... - Not hereditary?
I know that.
You think I didn't look into it?
Cook some more.
Huh?
OK.
And more garlic too. Hurry up.
BBQ tastes best when you eat nonstop.
I'm hurrying.
There's no more lettuce. Ask for more.
And more seasoned veggies.
Some more lettuce and seasoned veggies, please.
OK.
You want more meat too?
I'll finish this first.
It tastes amazing.
Eat up.
Here.
Get cooking.
OK.
Tastes great.
Try this, it tastes great.
I already took a bite.
(From Shi-wan)
Back then, it was all I could do.
I didn't have the time or wisdom to talk and persuade everyone.
I thought for days, but what I did just confirmed my cowardice.
It's my fault and you should be angry.
You'd grab the bull by the horns, but not me.
I'm trying to change though.
Thank you for coming home last night.
I am very sorry, and I love you.
Forgive me. From Shi-wan.
Sit.
Thanks for the letter.
You read it?
You're forgiving me?
I can forgive you, but will your parents forgive me when they find out?
You'll tell them?
Or what? Deceive them forever?
I did think it would be nice if they didn't find out.
You're so naive.
I don't have the courage to tell them now either.
That's why I'm angry.
I can't be myself in front of them now.
I can't speak my mind, not with all this guilt.
I'm a liar who tricked my in-laws into accepting me.
It was me, not you.
Are YOU the divorcee with a kid?
You think they'll say, ''We don't mind what you did''?
Before marriage, all I needed was to be accepted, but now...
I need to be forgiven.
For what? Should I be condemned for getting a divorce?
That's what upsets me the most.
What parent would accept what we did?
But what can I do now, other than kneel and beg for forgiveness?
I would if I'd done something wrong, but...
I'm sorry. I really am.
It's spilt milk. There's nothing I can do but accept it.
Is there anything else you're hiding from me?
- No. I swear there's nothing. - Come clean right now.
I was born with no patience whatsoever.
I'd rather be punched in the face once than be poked in the side many times.
I swear I'm not hiding anything else.
If you are, you're dead meat.
How dare you smile.
I truly am sorry.
I am.
And thanks for forgiving me so soon.
I love you.
Have you had a physical checkup?
Once, but I was told to come back for another one.
Just to be sure.
What about the HLA typing?
What's that?
Never mind. You said you have anemia?
Yes. Dr. Jang gave me some supplements.
To get ready for surgery.
Dr. Jang?
He gave you supplements?
You have to take them. You are, right?
Yes.
You'll be in the hospital for a week. Recovery will take about a month.
Our urologists are the best. You're in good hands.
Stay warm at night, so you don't catch a cold.
And don't stay up late, OK?
OK.
Can you let me out?
When is your checkup?
Tomorrow evening, after work.
Call me before it starts.
Sure. Bye.
I'll see you off.
Go home. I know the way.
Go.
I'll see you off.
Bye.
See you.
Hello? Granny, you're still up?
Yes.
The date's been set.
What? Wait. Turn the volume down.
The date's been set? When is it?
OK then.
It's for the best. Get it over and done with.
Go home and get some rest.
The date's been set? When is it?
Next Monday.
So soon? So Young-ok accepted Geum-soon's kidney?
You gave your permission.
I know that!
The poor thing.
Poor thing...
Yes?
Have a seat.
Have you heard about the transplant?
Yes, I have.
I heard next Monday's the big day.
Yes. My wife's doctor told me this morning.
You already ran the HLA test?
Yes.
And?
It's good.
4 out of 6 are a match.
OK.
Who's in charge?
Dr. Oh is the chief surgeon.
I'll keep an eye on everything. There's no need to worry.
OK.
Jae-hee.
Let me... go first.
I really wanted to stop her, but I couldn't.
I pitied her so much, it hurt me too.
I wanted to protect her from it all.
I didn't think of Mrs. Kim on purpose.
Because I knew that would make things more confusing.
But now it's come to this, so I'll...
accept it. It was her decision.
All I can do now is hope the surgery goes well.
Do all you can, sir.
I'm not the chief surgeon, but I promise I'll do that.
OK.
Excuse me.
Jae-hee.
Thank you.
Why don't we close for about 2 weeks?
Is it about Ms. Yoon's training?
It's not just that.
You're taking a week off to nurse your mother.
Ms. Yoon's going on training.
And Geum-soon asked for a month off for surgery on a ruptured disk or something.
Na Geum-soon?
Don't move.
Bye.
Hello. I heard you came for some tests.
I was going to see you to talk about something.
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
