(Episode 89)
These letters are so tiny. I can't read them.
You're here already?
You. Have you been following me?
Sa Ra, we need to talk.
Go home first.
I can't believe you even stalked me.
I needed to show you how I felt.
That I'm desperate to talk to you.
Fine.
What are you dying to tell me?
Let's hear it.
If I tell you that I want to come back...
can you...
take me back?
So...
what you wanted to tell me...
is that you want to come back home?
Yes.
I want to go back to the time when I was happy with you and Ji Seok.
How do you know Choi Go Ya?
How do you know my daughter-in-law's name?
What? Your daughter-in-law?
Are you saying that Ji Seok's wife...
was Choi Go Ya?
Do you know who she is?
She's Tae Pyung's daughter!
What?
Tae Pyung's daughter?
No. That should never happen.
Can you come downstairs?
Come in.
- Mother. - Have a seat.
You...
recognize her, right?
Sorry?
- Well... - You saw her earlier...
at the supermarket, right?
What?
She is...
my little sister. Ji Seok's aunt.
But we cut our ties between us now.
It's because...
she had an affair.
She left her husband and the rest of the family...
for that man.
I see.
It's funny, right?
I disapproved...
of your family's history...
when my sister is a mess too.
That's why I hid it from you.
I was afraid you'd look down on me...
if you found out I had a bigger problem.
I would never do that.
But...
strangely,
I wanted to open up to you.
I didn't want to keep anything from you.
What?
We're family now.
I didn't want to lie to you anymore.
Are you disappointed...
that I've been deceiving you?
No. Not at all.
It made me think about you for a moment.
It was embarrassing for me to tell you about my sister.
It must not have been easy...
for you to tell me about your dad too.
Still,
you decided to tell me.
And I was so mean to you.
Mother.
Ji Seok briefly told me...
about why you had to sue your dad back.
Sure. I would have done the same thing too.
Mother.
I mean, after abandoning his family,
how could he ask for money?
It would have driven me crazy too.
It...
must have been too much for you.
Your life hasn't been easy either.
Mother.
And I gave you a hard time too.
I regret it.
I hurt you with mean words...
without knowing you well.
But back then,
I really didn't want you to become my daughter-in-law.
I understand you.
Go Ya.
You said this to me once.
You hoped...
I'd hold your hand...
and tell you it's not your fault...
someday.
What?
That's right.
It's not your fault.
It's their fault.
I'm sorry for saying this...
too late.
Mother.
Go Ya.
What are you doing here? Have you been waiting...
Go Ya.
What...
should I do?
What is it? Tell me.
Can't we just tell the family the truth?
Go Ya.
I thought I'd just be happy if Mother accepted me...
as her daughter-in-law.
But I was wrong. It's even harder now.
I just feel too guilty.
Go Ya.
We promised we'd keep it a secret forever,
and it's foolish of me to have second thoughts now.
I decided not to be afraid anymore,
and it's pathetic of me to be swayed again.
But Ji Seok, I can't deceive Mother anymore.
When your mom opens up to me, it sways me too.
I didn't expect it either.
Her love sways me.
What will happen if we tell the family now?
Then we'll lose everything we've been trying...
to protect.
We could ask for forgiveness.
We could try to fix it.
We're becoming family now.
We are because your mom doesn't know Na Ra is my aunt...
and my mom doesn't know Tae Pyung is your dad.
If they knew,
we wouldn't have been able to be together in the first place.
Go Ya, listen to me.
We're happy now.
Don't let your dad and my aunt...
make us miserable.
Let's cover it up.
I don't want to lose our happiness.
And our families see us as who we are now.
I want to protect their happiness too.
What can I do to make you take me back?
Just say the word, and I'll do anything you say.
Anything?
- Yes. - Fine.
Then...
bring back Ji Seok's dad.
What?
The car accident during our trip...
killed my husband and almost took Ji Seok's life too.
Do you remember?
But it wasn't just a trip.
A private detective told me...
you and Tae Pyung were there.
By using a trip as an excuse,
I wanted to try to persuade you...
one last time.
What are you talking about?
And...
you really were there.
I was ready to go down on my knees...
if that could change your mind.
I followed you like a crazy person.
I had no idea...
my husband would die and my son would get injured...
while trying to catch up with me.
Sa Ra.
- Sa Ra. - What?
You want to go back?
Yes.
I wish I could go back too.
Then...
I would never have gone on that trip,
and my husband wouldn't have died!
Okay.
I see.
Thank you so much.
All right.
Honey, I finally made it happen. Do you hear me?
Someone just called me...
to give me a job even at my age.
What did I tell you?
I can do anything if I put my mind into it.
Are you still angry?
Please hold out just a bit longer.
I'm sure we'll be able to make a living.
And life isn't all about money.
We can love each other...
and depend on each other.
Of course, I don't mean that I want to keep living like this.
I'm going to get back on my feet.
I'll get my big break.
Hold on a second.
Wait right there.
Take this.
All right now. When you're feeling down,
it's best to clear your mind by getting a good sleep.
I have to go to work now.
After you get a good sleep, let's celebrate.
I'll make a reservation...
at a fancy restaurant to celebrate my employment, okay?
Is that you, Tae Ran?
Mom, are you waiting for her?
What?
You said you won't let her set foot in here anymore.
What is it?
I'm not waiting for her.
I just said it out of habit.
Your aunt came here so often.
You're right. The house seems so quiet without her.
I love how quiet it is. Why would you complain?
Mom, we're out of toothpaste again.
Tae Ran always made sure we had enough toothbrushes and toothpaste.
You always look very far
Even though I'm standing right here
If you turn your head a little bit
I'm sure you'll be able to see me
I liked how things were at first
I just wanted to get to see you
But I am slowly growing weary
Because of this long wait
Just a step behind you
I was always here
But you cannot ever see me, can you?
How am I supposed to tell her...
that I quit being a teacher now?
When will I ever tell her the truth?
Hello?
You want 200 canned coffees to go?
Okay. I'll bring it immediately.
- Hello. - What?
Ms. Choi. I mean, Go Ya. I'm glad you're here.
I just got a group order.
Can you help me out if you have some time?
Sure.
By the way, I met Aunt yesterday.
She's completely fallen for you.
- What? - She told me...
that she got a great new family member.
I remember her saying this before.
"Choi Go Ya can't marry my son. Not even over my dead body!"
I couldn't believe how she has changed.
Chairperson Ha, the rooftop garden...
is finished as of today.
Where's the person in charge?
Ms. Oh called in and said she can't come in because she's ill.
Do you have anything to tell her?
I want to change these flowers here into carnations.
Yes, I will let her know immediately.
What about carnations?
Carnations?
People usually come up here...
when they need to be comforted.
I thought carnations could make them ...
think of their parents, so it'll be heart-warming.
I see.
Also, carnations are a symbol of motherly love.
Ms. Jang.
Hello, Ms. Jang.
Yes, I'm glad to see you.
I've been wondering about you anyway.
What happened to the person you were looking for?
I haven't found him yet, but I must do so quickly.
I can't let him...
threaten my in-laws before my daughter's wedding.
Right.
Is it the guy that I'm thinking of?
Yes. Choi Tae Pyung is the only person...
who knows that I gave birth to that child.
(Sica Robot)
Hey, kid.
Is there anything else you wanted to do with your dad?
If it's something I can do, I'll do it for you.
Then let's make a robot action figure next time.
I promised him that I'll make a robot with him,
but I left without saying goodbye.
Hey, kid.
Mr. Swallow.
It's me. How have you been?
I'm sorry for leaving without a word.
No, I knew you'd come back.
But I can't stay for long. I have to go.
Where to?
I am moving abroad.
So I've been waiting here because I wanted to say goodbye...
before I left the country.
Take this. It's that robot you wanted to make together.
I know I promised to make this with you.
I'm really sorry to break my promise.
Why are you crying?
I don't want to say goodbye.
Do you like me that much?
Yes.
I like drawing pictures with you...
and riding swings with you.
I see.
But I can't stay. I have to go.
So kid, grow up well.
Don't be sick.
(Sica Robot)
Come on, don't cry.
What did I tell you?
Men always have to bluff. I told you that, right?
Yes.
Okay. Goodbye then.
Mr. Swallow! Don't go!
Mr. Swallow!
Don't go!
Mr. Swallow!
What's with that kid?
He's making me cry too.
Darn it. What is this?
Can't we just tell the family the truth?
What's wrong? Are you sick?
What? Oh, no.
But you don't look well at all.
You look really worn out.
I haven't slept well.
My gosh. Stop showing off that you're a newlywed.
Don't say that.
My gosh. Seriously.
- Hey, Uncle. - Are you okay?
I thought you might be troubled because you were determined...
to donate your kidney to Go Woon.
To be honest, I can't even face him right now.
I feel really bad for him.
There's no need for that.
Go Woon has been getting dialysis bravely,
and he's been keeping his condition well.
Go Woon will get healthy for sure.
Yes. I'll find anything that I can do to help him...
if it could make Go Woon healthy.
Yang Sook must feel so reassured...
to have a good son-in-law like you.
I'll try to be nicer to her.
Right. Ji Seok.
Yes?
Never mind. I'll tell you some other time.
Okay, go back to work now.
Your aunt came to me...
and asked me to let her meet you.
What else? I'm just sitting here.
Time seems to be going by so slowly.
Don't be like that.
Just make up with Aunt.
Why would I?
I know how you feel. I'm really disappointed in her too.
But Mom,
I've been trying...
to put myself in Aunt's place.
Dad is her only sibling.
She couldn't feel about Dad the same way as we do.
So let them live happily together.
I'll stay out of their way.
How are you feeling?
I feel okay now.
When Ji Seok comforted me while holding my hand,
I felt so relieved.
Whatever Tae Pyung does,
my amazing son-in-law has my back. That's what I thought.
Since he makes even me feel so reassured,
I'm sure he'll make you happy for the rest of your life.
So don't worry about me.
Focus on your life,
and be happy, okay?
Hi.
How could you leave like that?
You said it was your treat.
I'm sorry. Something suddenly came up.
Is there something wrong?
What?
No, not at all.
I just got a call that said...
the chandeliers and marble I ordered has arrived from Europe.
I had to take a look.
I see.
Well, I'm not sure if I should tell you this.
What is it?
A new janitor came to my apartment building today.
But it was your husband.
What?
Did his business go wrong?
Is that why you haven't had a housewarming party yet?
Mr. Min.
Eun Seok.
Why didn't you come to my wedding?
I waited for you.
Why would you?
I was dreaming of that scene...
from the movie, "The Graduate".
In the last scene,
the man takes the bride's hand...
and runs away with her.
I was hoping you'd do that.
What are you doing right now?
I'm lonely, Eun Seok.
What?
Ever since our divorce, I've always felt lonely,
so I got married again to stop feeling like that.
However,
I miss you even more now.
What...
do you take me for?
Do I look that easy to you?
Does your husband know you're doing this?
He's seeing a woman.
What?
So? What does that have to do with me?
Please stop. I'm seeing someone too.
I have a girlfriend.
You're lying.
I'm not. It's true.
Do you want me to call her?
I'm here.
What's going on?
What do you think?
I just wanted to see you, Eun Seok.
Eun Seok?
What are you waiting for? Introduce me as your girlfriend.
See?
This is my girlfriend.
Honey.
You look stunning.
- You think so? - Yes, you look fantastic.
When I saw you earlier,
you didn't seem to be in the mood for eating outside, so I'd given up.
But you called and said you wanted to.
You got a new job.
We should celebrate.
That's right.
That's the woman I love.
What would you like to have? It's my treat.
Before that,
this is to congratulate you on your new job.
What is it?
Aren't these...
divorce papers?
But isn't it a relief...
to see you get a new job before our divorce?
Honey, what are you doing right now?
What do you think?
I'm leaving you right now.
- What? - So...
give up on me.
What are you talking about?
Think about how we started.
We had to break up our families...
to stay together.
I thought it'd all pay off later.
I had no idea it'd end up this miserable.
I don't want to regret anymore.
Look here.
I had to leave my first wife who supported me for decades.
I had to leave my young children too.
I even told my ex-wife...
to get rid of our baby who was fighting for life...
to stay with you. But now,
are you saying...
you regret our life together?
I had to give up on everything too.
I also had to leave my family, my sister,
and even Ji Seok.
You're the one who caused this situation.
So this is all about money?
You chased me when I was successful.
And since I'm bankrupt now,
you're leaving me?
You always say...
you should live your own life.
That's right.
I don't want to sacrifice my life for you anymore.
Is that enough?
Think about the years we've spent together.
You can't leave me like this.
How can you be so cruel?
This is more than a simple betrayal.
Then what am I supposed to do?
This is the only way I can go back to my sister.
What do you mean?
You killed my sister's husband.
It's your fault he died!
What?
Honey!
Stop there! Stop!
Ji Seok!
Honey.
Ji Seok.
Honey!
What are you talking about?
They had an accident while following me?
I should probably go see you.
I miss you so much.
- Mother. - We're back.
- You came together. - Yes.
Are you missing Dad?
Yes.
Then think about him while seeing it.
See what?
- This way, please. - What is it?
Oh, my. It's snowing.
How could it snow like this when cherry blossoms are blooming?
Exactly.
Right. Your nickname seems to be First Snow.
- What? - You didn't know?
Your name isn't Go Ya on Ji Seok's cell phone.
It's "First Snow".
- Really? - Yes.
You came into my heart gently and made it race like the first snow.
My goodness.
What have you done to my son?
Someone once said...
it sometimes snows in spring...
because winter is jealous of spring.
Really?
But no matter how cold winter was,
it can't stop spring from coming.
It's the same with life.
No matter how difficult life gets, if you hold out long enough,
the spring of your life will come again.
I hope I can see...
the next snow with you again, Mother.
Yes.
Let's watch it snow together every single year from now on.
It's so pretty.
So I want a divorce.
I must go back and be with my sister.
(Forever Enemies)
Yang Sook, did I hurt you this much too?
I have something to tell you.
Do you have something to say to me?
What are you doing right now?
My sister...
always gave into me at the crucial moment.
I think he really grew fond of Dad.
So where are you going?
Do you want to come in if you have time?
