father...
what happened? you said you had absolutely nothing to do with the minsohee situation. why were you dragged here??
how did you find out? i begged them not to say anything.
why did you do it? why??
i'm sorry. let mother continue to think i'm still going abroad. please don't say anything about this to her.
also...father...please accept aeri and nino...while i'm gone, please let aeri back home and let her relax. father please persuade mom to agree. please do this favor for me.
You've been letting everyone know how much you can't stand nino's mother. What are you talking about??
The truth is... aeri... aeri doesn't have much longer to live. I had no idea and kicker her and nino out...
what? nino's mom is dying?
i just wanted to survive this mess and inconsiderately dragging sick aeri around saying unimaginably cruel things to her...
i dragged her to the hospital to get an abortion, i brought another woman into our home, i'm not even human.
just because she honors me as her husband, she chooses not to hate a bastard like me...that stupid girl... please father please take care of her in my place...please.
as long as there's no possibility of surgery, there's not much more we can do for her at the hospital. we'll prescribe more painkillers, but it's best for her to check out of the hospital.
check out?
she should spend the time she has left with her family. then there will come a point she can't handle the pain. maybe then she should transfer to a hospice and die without pain.
i haven't been able to tell her that surgery is impossible. she still believes surgery will save her...how can i ask her to check out??
that's telling her there's no hope. how can i tell her that?
dr. please just perform the surgery as planned... and just tell her the surgery went well. can you not do that?
aeri!
there's no need. why should i get a fake surgery? have surgery, feed me some painkillers, have a nap and then tell me that the surgery went well?? you think i'm a freakin idiot??
aeri please calm down..
it's my body, it's my life! who are you to deceive me?? i'm trying to hold on with this sick body of mine that i feel getting weaker and weaker, not knowing how long i will live, and you're telling me to believe tomorrow will be better and tomorrow i
you're telling to put my last hope on lies right up until the day that i die!!! is that your last revenge??!
aeri!
aeri aeri!
let go!! didn't i tell you not to pity me?? who are you to look at me that way? are you pitying my pathetic and insignificant existence because you have everything?? well, don't. i'm not going to die! why would i die? i'm going to outlive you.i will
ok don't die. if you think it's unfair just hold on and survive. it's your body. even if the doctors can't save you, you can. because you're the only one that can love your body more than anyone else.
look here! is there anyone out there? why do i have to die?
you've already taken my mom and dad too soon. isn't that enough? just 5 years more or less. no, i just want to live 1 more year. is that being too selfish??
why do i have to live like this?? what did i do so wrong?? please tell me! tell me the reason why i have to die!!! tell me!!!!
aeri...aeriii
nino..nino.
mommy, are you dying?
nino.. when did you get here?
mommy... don't die. you told me you'd live a long long time with me. i only have you. why are you leaving me... why??
no..no it's not like that. why would mommy leave nino? that's not going to happen.
dad kicked us out. he doesn't even come back to see us. if you die, what will i do?
i don't care if your sick. just don't die. you could just stay in bed everyday. just live me with me. ok mom?
grandfather, grandmother, please save my mommy. please buy her medicine to save her. when i grow up i promise to pay you back. please buy her some medicine please?
eunjae, i want to check out.
then what? are you going to move back into gyobin's house?
then what. are you going to move back into gyobin's?
why would you go back there? their wife, their daughter in law, is in this condition and the haven't even dropped by the hospital. they don't even treat you like a human.
as small and old as our home is, just come with us. we'll keep you comfortable and give you warm meals.
no, i don't want to. i'll find a cheap hotel to stay at.
how can you take you and your child to a cheap motel. stop with the nonsense and come home with us. all we need to do is put extra silverware at the table. why are you thinking so complicated?
how can stay anywhere else in this condition? if you're gonna be sick, be sick in my arms. and nino likes being with us too.
mommy. tonight i just want to stay with you.
ajooma, i can go play with my mom today right? i can take care of her so she's not sick.
where's nino's mother? i heard everything from gyobin- that she's sick.
does mother-in-law know as well?
i'm sure she'll find out soon enough. i'm sorry to burden you with my family. send nino and his mother to my home today. gyobin wants it that way too.
please leave aeri as she is. nino's father won't even be home. mother-in-law probably won't be able to make her feel comfortable.
instead just meet her once more and recognize her as your daughter-in-law. please.
mommy!
mommy aren't these fish so pretty?
mommy fish, daddy fish, and nino fish.
don't forget. let's come back again on my next birthday, ok?
ok, i won't forget.
i'm going to protect you. i'm a man too, so i can take of you.
thanks, nino.
how's sohee?
you came. she's slowly getting better. but i think she's tired so she just keeps sleeping.
if junggyobin is really the criminal, what will happen to him?
mother says, it's under police investigation so we shouldn't get involved. i know it's hard on you, but please don't get involved.
are you really going to get divorced from sohee? she's in such bad condition, can't you just forget about it for her?
if my heart changed so easily based on uncontrollable situations, i would never have brought up a divorce in the first place. i would be turning my back on my life, if i were to marry because she was sick or if i felt apologetic and didn't divorce
i will no longer be convinced otherwise. i'm going to follow my heart. i just don't want people i love getting hurt anymore. i don't know why things like this keep happening. this is not at all what i wanted for aeri, gyobin or sohee.
even if you forgave them, it's probably the heavens that can't forgive thme. so just leave them me. in the long run, it's prob better for them to rid their burdens this way. let's go.
you said there was something urgent. has it been resolved? what about dinner?
before that, about nino's mother...
why are you bringing up nino's mother now? whenever her name comes up, it makes me nervous. don't even say her name.
she lost the baby in her stomach, so there's no need to concern ourselves with her.
her saying she was pregnant with gyobin's child, may have been a lie for all we know.
don't you remember when they got married?
even still, i don't think her love for gyobin was a lie.
that's cuz she still think she can get something from him. she's just trying to leech off anything left.
there's nothing for her to even steal or leach off of at this point.
you know the saying, even tho there's nothing to eat, there's always seomthing to steal.
let's just bring nino back to us before she uses him as an excuse to take from gyobin. things will be settled once we take nino back. why do you think gyobin decided to flee from korea?
it's all just a plan to finally get rid of aeri.
i'm not that hungry. can you just prepare some drinks for me, otherwise i don't think i can sleep.
you've been up. how do you feel?
i feel like i'm traveling down a long long tunnel. i can't see the end. i can't breathe. i don't even know where i'm should get off.
for now, just get off. and have a fresh start where you got off. then i'm sure a whole new world will open up to you.
if you can't find the answer from where you are standing. find the answer in a new place. why are you wasting time?
i have no confidence.
These are the papers
It's time to let go of Gun Woo
Mom, why are you so mean? I'm hurt and in the hospital right now. How can you talk to me about divorce now?
do you know where a person becomes more humble? it's at a hospital. here all you should think about is yourself to get better. but once you leave, you will be filled up with other selfish desires.
the only place you can let gunwoo go, is here right now.
how do i live without him? why do i have to?
Somewhere in the world, there is sure to be someone who will love you as much as you love gun-woo.
You're so pretty; there has to be someone who was meant for you. From now on, love someone who loves you back. Okay?
How is it? Do you feel a little better now?
Yes, I feel good, thanks.
Mom, don't worry about me. Eun-jae is nice to me, and her parents like me too. Before when I was living with her I was mean to her, but I guess she forgot about it already.
You like Eun-Jae now?
Yeah. She reads me stories every night, and gives me good food when i eat, and when I can't fall asleep she carries me on her back.
Really? I didn't know that, when I see her I'll have to thank her.
Mom, can't you start going to work again?
Why?
To me, you look the happiest when you're working. I like seeing your happy face the best. I wish you could do people's makeup, like you used to. Then, maybe you can even get better!
Okay. Let's go Nino!
Are you just coming home now? Hurry up and go inside... mom and dad have been waiting.
Nino, want to go inside first? Mom has to talk to Eun-jae for a second.
Okay mom.
Eun-jae, I have a favor to ask you. Let me work at your shop. I promise, I'll do a good job.
You want to work at my shop? How will you work with your condition?
I don't know how much time I have left, but I don't want to waste it lying in a hospital bed. I want to do the work that I love, the work that I do the best.
You might not believe me, but I wasn't lying about my passion for makeup, and I was the happiest when I was able to do it.
In the aquarium there are really big fish, and sharks and alligators too!
Wow, that must have been fun! You should've taken me!
You can come with me next time. My mom promised she would take me again for my birthday.
Did you see tigers too? Do they swim well?
Why would a tiger be at the aquarium? They are at the zoo.
Really? Tigers are my favorite! I want to go to the zoo and see the tigers!
Okay. We can all go to see them one day.
You'd like that too, right Nino?
Yes, but lets take my mom too. I want to show her everything. When she was working, I couldn't even go places with her. I want to take a lot of pictures too, for when i miss her.
What is this? Why are you only giving Nino a hug? I want a hug too!
Stay here for now. It might not be home, but it'll be better than a motel. I'd rather you stay at my house, but I don't want you to be uncomfortable because of Kang-jae.
Okay, that's fine with me. It doesn't matter to me, as long as it's not the hospital.
I'm not giving you this for free. Starting tomorrow morning, you better work hard.
I already said I'd work hard.. but would it be okay, since I don't even have a license anymore? A lot of people would recognize me too, and word would spread fast...
You said you wanted to work, why so many complaints? I'll take care of everything, just get to sleep early. I'll let you work a lot tomorrow. And don't hope for vacations anytime soon. I'll be going, then.
Shin aeri, you bad woman.
Excuse me! Ma'am! Wake up! Ma'am!! Ugh... who am I supposed to contact?
Don't go to sleep because you read too much. You look tired these days because of the wedding preparations.. just read up to here for today. -Eun Jae.
Eun-Jae ? What?! Where is she right now?
Eun-jae, are you okay?
Please take me to Jung-nong. That's where my house is.
We're there already. You're in front of your house.
These days... there are so many good things happening to me.. i won the grand prize at a makeup contest, i signed a make-up contract and earned money,
In the future, i could even enter a world competition. Everyone's saying, "Goo Eun-Jae's found success."
But it's strange.. How come I'm not happy at all?
Ahh, it's a tiger? What? Why did it steal my apple? Hey tiger, give me back my apple!
Huh? How come there's a tiger again?
What? TWO tigers stole my apples? Give me my apples back!!
Why are you so loud even in your sleep? Hurry and get up, we're all waiting for you.
Where am I supposed to find the tigers? I need to get my apples back...
In our yard, there were two huge tigers and they stole all my apples!
Its amazing.. how could she talk about food, even in her sleep?
Eun-Jae, eat some of this, it'll help your hangover.. Why did you drink so much anyway?
I was only going to drink a little, but it got out of hand. But it's okay now.
I made some soup for Aeri too, bring it to her when you leave for work... I hope she could at least eat, even with her sickness...
wow! it's kalbijjim! i really really love kalbijjim!
aigo, how can you eat that all alone. i made that specifically for nino.
i can't eat all of this by myself. if i have kalbijjim, i can polish off 3 bowls of rice!
your appetite has been gone for a while. but i guess it's back in full force.
do you want to go to teh hospital for eating too much again? eat smaller portions. i can see your belly sticking out.
here nino. eat this meat. and later i'll take you out for pizza.
auntie, eat as much as you want. you know he's only teasing you. he likes women who can eat a lot.
right?
eat slowly! you're going to swallow the spoon.
ai, take your time... eat slowly
has gyobin already left?
he went to new york. his friend offered him a job and he's going to take a look.
what? so suddenly? he said his passport expired and would have to get it renewed.
what? he went to the states without a passport? that makes no sense. honey do you know what happened? he left his cell and everything. this is strange. is he using this as an excuse because he caused some sort of trouble?
stop worrying. maybe he got his passport extended. and he'll call us when he gets there. stop worrying and just wait.
i did have a really strange dream last night. something's not right...
good morning.
good morning
hello hi good morning
yes? right now? ok.
i heard you gave up the world competition. why did you do that?
you wanted this so badly, why would you give it up?
this is a rare opportunity. you may never get another chance
i know that. but i just couldn't
I am asking you the reason for that
i had to take care of something that cannot be postponed. there will be other competitions but I may never get another chance to this.
the competition goes beyond your own plan but would be a great honor to the shop. what would make you give that up?
Aeri is running out of time, Gyobin is not by her side and I need to be there for her
you didn;t do it. why did you lie? why did you make a false confession? why?
shh, someone will hear you. it doesn't matter whether Aeri did it or I did it. I figure i am just paying for all my sins against you somehow
don't act like the honorable friend taking the blame for a friend. that won't absolve your sins you and aeri committed against me
i am willing and ready to pay for my sins with any kind of punishment. i'm not afraid anymore. and i won't run away anymore. i know i have no right, but please take care of Aeri
do you think Aeri will be moved that you are sitting in jail for her? your place is next to her
the stupid girl, she is waiting for you. When i think about all that i've done to her, i am too ashamed. I cant ever face her again. she should just forget me and leave freely
where are you? why don't you answer your phone?
aren't you going to see me? will I have to leave without seeing you even just once?
why are you alone? where is Nino? I have to talk to gyobin, and i can't get in touch with him. where is he?
i must see him. tell me where he is
why do you need to see him? he is hiding somewhere because he doesn't want to see you. so don't try to look for him. I am going to marry him off as soon as possible. Nino needs a new mother.
nino's new mother?
of course, he needs a mother. did you think we would let you have him? he's a descendent to Jung family. just bring Nino back! Do we have to drag this through the courts?!
yes, this is shin aeri. what? make up artist association?
we are reinstating your license because of special request from Goo eunjae
what is the schedule for the world make artist competition?
the participants are leaving for paris this weekend
this weeknd? but Goo eunjae didn;t mention anything like that
Goo eunjae gave up her right to compete
give up? not possible. she wanted to compete so much
we tried to talk her out of it but she insisted that she had to take care of things in korea
are you coming from the hospital?
who asked you to get my license back? who asked you to give up the competition? did you do this so you can blame me for not being able to compete?
thats right. i gave it up for you so you take responsibility. you'd better not die. get better and live. You better make up to me for all the bad things you did to me
no. i want you to compete and win and keep the promise i made to nino on for my sake
no. you made the promise so you keep it. thats what nino wants...for his mom to succeed
you can become his mom and keep the promise
what? what are you saying?
just as my parents asked their best friends to raise their child, i want to ask my best friend to care for my son. I will return everything i took from you, Get back together with gyobin and be nino's mother
