Hyeong-woo, see how hard this is for your mother?
Please wake up.
You're awake.
Hi.
I'm so relieved. I was worried something happened to you.
Eun-young?
Yes?
Can you remove this needle for me?
- Hold on, let me go get a nurse. - No.
I want you to do it.
Mother!
Eun-young, forgive me. I was wrong.
Please don't do this!
No, listen to me.
Then Hyeong-woo will forgive me and wake up.
I committed an unforgivable sin against you and your family.
Please forgive me. Please.
So Hyeong-woo can wake up again. I'm sorry.
I'm not sure I deserve to forgive you, but I do.
So please set your mind at peace, Mother.
Thank you. Thank you so much, Eun-young.
Please get up, Mother.
You know this ring?
Yes.
Did you refuse it?
Yes.
I leave my son in your care.
If you refused him because of me, then you two can live on your own.
Or how about going abroad to study? You can study art more formally.
You should fulfill your dream as well.
Why? You worried because I'm no longer chairwoman of Dream In?
Please, Eun-young.
He'll get up the moment you agree with me.
I'll consider it if he wakes up.
Hyeong-woo, you hear that?
You can get up now. You don't have to worry anymore, okay?
Where are you going?
Sit for a sec.
Let's get a divorce.
I asked you where you're going.
The prosecutor's office.
So you're settling your affairs?
Yup. I talked to Mr. Choi. He'll settle everything as our lawyer.
Then just go. We can always divorce later if you want.
No, I want to settle things now.
When I come back, I'll no longer be worthy of you.
I'll be broke and it won't be easy finding a job.
What if I'm okay with that?
You'll be broke and even have a record.
On top of that, you don't love me. But what if I'm okay with all that?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
You realize that you owe me?
Not once did you ever tell me you love me since we got married.
I'm so offended I would settle for a lie.
Would it kill you to lie?
I love you.
Much better than 'I'm sorry.' I should've forced you to say it sooner.
You've thinned.
I need you to tell Hyeong-woo something for me.
I'm going somewhere far.
I might be gone a while.
So tell him to stay alive, even if it kills him.
If not, I'll really give it to him.
So you're threatening him. Alright, I'll tell him.
Thanks.
Can I ask you where you're going?
You told me to let go. I'm going to do just that.
I'm going to dump everything and leave no spark so I won't be tempted again.
That's good to hear.
It's amazing how far we've come.
Yeah, it's been 7 years already.
Back then we had no interfering parents, no ridiculous selfish desires.
In retrospect, we were happy without a care in the world.
True. Back then you smiled all the time.
I think it was those times I couldn't let go of, rather than you.
I'm really sorry.
I know you won't forgive me, and nothing I say will change anything...
But I mean it.
Remember when we met again, I thanked you for being alive?
Yeah.
I don't hate you.
If you had really been dead, I don't think I could've loved again.
After all this time, I thought I lost everything in my hate for you.
But Hyeong-woo reminded me that being alive is something to be grateful for.
I should get going. Take good care of Bi-an and Hyeong-woo.
I will.
How about a handshake?
I don't know exactly who you are. I don't even believe in you.
All I know is that you're almighty and can do things human beings can't.
I'll get to the point.
Please take this sinful mother instead and let my sweet son live.
He's still young. There's a lot he hasn't experienced yet.
He's led a pitiful life because of me.
If my sins are too great, I'll spend several lifetimes making it up to you.
Please take me instead. Don't take my son Hyeong-woo.
You can't. You can't take him.
Please.
Ma'am, are you okay?
I'm fine. Don't make a fuss. Get me a glass of water.
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am, your water...
Mom. Mom!
Hyeong-woo! How'd you come home? You okay now?
I'm fine, Mom.
Thank you! Thank you, my son!
Here!
- Wow! - Let's dig in.
Eat with me, Mom.
Yeah?
It's great, Mom!
Why aren't you eating?
I feel full just watching you eat. I don't think I can eat.
I'm serious!
No, you eat.
Please eat.
Wow! My mom's so pretty!
Good. I want to be the most beautiful in your eyes.
You're all grown up and all better now. I guess I can put this on now.
Want to put it on for me?
Okay.
Wow, it's pretty!
- Is it? - Yes.
Hyeong-woo, how about lying down with me?
You don't know how great the weather is these days, do you?
What sort of things can we do together?
We can take trips together or go watch movies together.
How about exercising together? I've gained weight.
Sorry, is my chatter keeping you awake? Good night, my dear son.
Sleep well, my Hyeong-woo Sleep tight, my Hyeong-woo
Dog, don't you bark
Thank you, Hyeong-woo, for being my son.
Mom?
Mom!
Mom! Mom...
Mom!
Mom! Please get up!
Hyeong-woo, you're awake! Are you okay?
Mother?
Mother! Mother! Mother!
Mom.
M-m-mom!
Mom!
M-m-mom!
Mom!
I think she knew that you were going to wake up.
I don't know how to explain.
But the day she passed away, she had the brightest smile.
I've never seen her smile so brightly.
If she left with a happy heart, she wouldn't want you to be sad.
You've held up well, Jeong-woo!
All thanks to your help. Let's go.
Hold on, we're waiting for one more person.
I thought you went to America when your father was released.
I came back last week.
Hyeon-woo told me when you were coming out.
Remember the last thing you said before you went in?
You said you love me.
I thought about it a lot, even while knowing it was a lie.
But when it comes down to it, there isn't much to marriage.
You either lie really well or pretend to be fooled by those lies.
I've decided to be the fool.
To me, your words 'I love you' ring true to me.
We're both so deeply scarred, it won't be easy.
It could take longer than you think.
I'm interested in buying this painting.
It already has an owner.
Is that so? She looks so happy. I really wanted it.
That's too bad. It's a good painting.
There you are.
Hi.
Hey, that's a super cool painting!
Bi-an!
What are you doing? Say hello to the visitors.
Okay.
Bi-an, let's go over there.
That's a great painting.
Thank you.
What's it called?
I named it 'Life.'
Hold on.
This is the image of you I hold in my heart.
Of you and your terrifyingly foolish love.
I didn't realize it then, how truly blinding your love was.
In return I give you this painting.
I love you.
My son.
M-mom.
Mom!
