(Episode 118)
I knew I wouldn't be able to leave if I talked to you face-to-face,
so I'm leaving you a letter.
I lived very diligently.
But I still felt lost every now and then.
I knew the path I was on is right,
but when I looked up, I was on a different path.
I came too far to go back,
and I don't have the courage to walk forward.
Then I came across you on that path.
And that's all I need.
I learned to have the courage to love thanks to you.
So I want to take courage and say this.
Thank you for giving me so much love.
Please.
(Judeok Station)
Don't be sick because of me.
You have to get better.
Please don't make my decision to leave you...
to end in vain.
Where are you? Where did you go?
Go Ya, where are you?
Ji Seok.
Ji Seok, what's wrong?
What's going on?
What is this?
Go Ya... Go Ya isn't at her mom's house?
How can she go there?
Her mother cut her off coldly...
even after she begged her to take her back.
How can she go there?
What?
No one held onto her.
She reached out her hand asking for help,
but everyone shook her off.
I've decided to listen to Mom.
Let's cut each other off.
Also, I'm going to look for my biological mom.
Okay.
Go live happily ever after.
Go Ya.
Thank you...
for coming back.
Don't cry.
Mom, what are you talking about?
Eun Seok.
Why did Go Ya leave?
- Where did she go? - It's because of me.
I told her that...
Ji Seok's nightmare...
won't go away if she sticks around.
What?
So I asked her...
to go back to her mother's place...
until Ji Seok gets better.
Then is she at her mother's place?
No.
Ji Seok went over,
but she wasn't there either.
They were probably the only people that she could depend on.
I doubt that...
she could depend on them.
- What do you mean? - Ms. Woo is...
not Go Ya's biological mom.
- What? - It looks like her mom told her...
that they should cut each other off...
because they are strangers, who aren't related by blood.
She got kicked out of here and cut off from them.
I believe she probably has nowhere to go to.
Then where did she go to?
If she has nowhere to go, she should come back.
She found out that her dad is the reason why our dad is dead,
and felt extremely guilty.
What if she never comes back?
Grandma.
What are you talking about?
I really hate seaweed because it reminds me of human hair.
You never made me...
any seaweed soup for the last 10 years.
Do you think I had the energy to make you seaweed soup...
after your dad ran away with another woman?
And you weren't the only one.
I didn't make any for Go Bong either.
No. Go Bong already hates seaweed because it reminds her...
of human hair.
But you never made me any even though I like it.
Goodness.
Why did you make seaweed soup without the girl of the day?
Why did I divorce him on her birthday?
I feel bad for never making any seaweed soup for her.
You should've cut her off...
just one day later.
Then she could've had this.
Is Go Ya coming today?
- No. - Why not?
I wrote her a birthday card too.
Go Woon, Go Ya...
isn't going to come anymore.
- Why not? - Well, it's because...
she has to live happily ever after with her in-laws.
Really?
She's been through so much with us.
So she can be happy with that family from now on.
Go Woon, you must be disappointed.
No, it's all for the better.
Go Ya has been through so much...
because of me.
If she's happy with them, that's all I need to know.
I can try to hold myself back from missing her.
You're so mature.
(Seoul Family Court)
Choi Tae Pyung.
You and I are really over.
Goodness, look who this is.
You must've been greatly troubled.
Your wrinkly face got even more wrinkly.
Oh, well. We somehow became in-laws...
thanks to that daughter of yours.
- Oh, gosh. - How shameless.
Your daughter is the shameless one.
When she is Tae Pyung's daughter,
how could she marry my nephew?
You were also...
stabbed in the back by her, weren't you?
No. She didn't do anything wrong.
It's all your fault.
You talk like her biological mom.
You're not even her biological mom.
Stop pretending.
You'll be punished after you die.
Stop being ridiculous.
I booked my flights.
We're officially on different levels now...
although we always have been.
Go on with your pathetic life then.
- Uncle. - Hey.
Have you heard anything from Go Ya?
No.
Gosh. It's my fault.
I shouldn't have told her the truth.
It's not your fault.
It is. I should have kept it from her by all means.
Actually, this morning,
my mom said it was her fault.
She asked Go Ya to stay with her mom...
until Ji Seok gets better.
Then Go Ya should have gone to her mom.
Why didn't she go there?
Go Ya's mom...
cut off her coldly.
- She did? - Yes.
That's why Go Ya couldn't go there.
If Yang Sook finds out that Go Ya has disappeared,
she'd blame herself.
So let's not tell her for the time being.
We should find Go Ya first.
Okay.
By the way, how is Ji Seok doing?
Hello.
What?
Hello.
I must have surprised you.
No.
By the way, what happened?
Why did Go Ya quit her job?
She'd never do that.
I wonder what happened.
I called you...
to give you this.
It's Go Ya's resignation letter.
The manager will tell the company that...
Go Ya is just taking a leave of absence.
She wants her to come back as soon as possible.
We all do.
Go Ya...
you've finally realized that you don't belong here and left.
Ji Seok.
I can't believe this.
I prayed desperately that...
I'd get to see you one last time before I leave.
Go Ya has left?
Of course. It would have been shameless of her to stay with you...
after her dad made your dad die.
This is the way it's supposed to be.
Now you can finally recover,
and your dad would feel relieved too.
By the way,
I'll be working abroad for a while.
When I get back,
let's go back to the way we used to be.
Okay. Make sure to come back.
You have to.
And see...
who is next to me then.
He's still not over Go Ya?
But everything is over now.
Go Ya, I win.
Everything worked out the way I had planned.
- You're here. - Chairwoman Ha.
Should we leave for the airport?
Yes. It feels like a dream.
You and I are finally leaving.
Let's go.
What is it?
Nothing.
(Seoul Family Court)
How have I been living so far?
My goodness.
Why are you standing here?
What's that?
Divorce papers?
- You're not divorced yet? - Give them back.
Did you know...
Dr. Han was Na Ra's ex-husband?
Everyone except you knew.
She's divorcing you...
to go back to Jae Woong, right?
Yes.
I can't believe her.
What did you say?
She prepares a feast for you every morning?
Then what is this?
- Did you eat? - No.
There's some seaweed soup in my kitchen.
- Go have some. - Is it someone's birthday?
You didn't know it was Go Ya's birthday?
Oh, that's right.
Was Go Ya here?
No. She's not coming here anymore.
- We cut ties with her. - What are you talking about?
She'll live happily with her new family from now on.
She's never coming back here.
Now I understand.
That was why she told me that.
- What did she say? - She asked me...
to help you guys out...
if something happens to you guys.
If she was going to cut us off,
why did she even worry about us?
The person you have reached...
Mr. Min...
has never disappeared without telling me.
What happened to him?
Hye Eun, did something happen to Mr. Min?
Mother, you should eat something.
Aunt!
Aunt, what's going on?
Go Ya's father is responsible for Uncle's accident?
You heard?
Yes, Eun Seok told me.
Go Ya disappeared because of that?
My goodness.
Is Grandma okay?
What about you? Are you okay?
What is going on?
Sa Ra, I'm getting on my flight soon.
I'll come back...
as someone you can be proud of.
I really hope we'll meet again.
We overcame all that with love.
We always will...
no matter what comes our way.
(Letter of Resignation)
Promise me one thing, please.
What is it?
Promise me you won't suffer anymore.
Promise me you'll be fine.
I promise.
Here.
Uncle, I'm coming.
Ji Seok.
I want to get treatment.
I promised Go Ya...
that I wouldn't suffer anymore and that I'd be fine.
I have to keep my promise.
And to do that,
I have to get better.
All right. Let's do that.
Let's get your treatment started.
Mother.
Yes, come in.
Are you all right?
You must've suffered through everything all by yourself.
Sa Ra.
Yes, Mother.
Some people call me a master,
some call me a teacher,
and some call me Ms. Jang.
But the one thing I wanted to hear was...
someone calling me their mom.
Mom.
Mother.
I lived long enough to not regret it even if I died tonight.
And if I've lived this long, I need to know how to control my feelings.
But why do I feel...
angry and bitter again?
I can't help but miss my son.
Mother.
But then...
I thought about the one thing my son would like the most.
And he would want us...
to live happily.
It's that none of us would suffer because of him.
Yes, you're right.
He would've said that.
But look at us.
All of us are still unhappy...
because of his death.
You, me, Ji Seok, and even Go Ya now.
This is far from what he would've wanted.
That's why I came to a decision.
Sa Ra.
Let's find Go Ya.
We need to find her...
and take her in, for our happiness.
Mother.
Even if you hate me,
just let me stay by his side.
Even if you don't want to see me, just let me stay with him.
Have you heard from Go Ya yet?
No.
Grandma wants us to go find Go Ya.
She's a daughter of the man who led his son to death,
but she wants us to find her and take her in.
Ji Seok.
I actually have something to say to you.
I was going to cover this up,
but I can't do this because I feel too bad.
What is it?
You know, I...
told Go Ya to not register your marriage.
What?
I said we never know if you two will break up,
so I told her to register your marriage after a year.
- Mom. - I told her to stay on pills too.
Because you shouldn't have kids if you end up getting divorced.
Mom, how can you do that?
But she told me...
that she will do that.
She said she'll do everything that I said.
Then she said this.
If you two live well...
without causing problems even after a year,
if we really became a family,
she asked me to never let go of her...
no matter what kind of danger that she gets involved in.
But...
I couldn't keep that promise.
I couldn't hold onto her.
But do you know what she told me...
as she left?
She thanked me.
Ji Seok, I feel so bad for Go Ya.
You need to bring her to me.
I have to tell her something.
I have to at least apologize for not keeping my promise.
Please bring her.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
It's me.
I didn't know how I could send you a reply,
so I'm leaving a message here.
I will...
keep the promise that I made with you.
And please wait for me.
I will find you...
no matter what I do.
(1 year later)
- You brat! - Stop it.
Stop right there, you brat.
- You'll hit me if I stop. - Goodness, you.
- What's going on? - Hey, Go Bong.
Why are you two making a huge scene this early?
Go Bong, did you do something again?
You should see her room.
The whole place is filled with bags,
and she bought that on top of those.
You bought one last month.
I quit drinking, I quit dating men,
and all I did was buy this tiny little bag.
Don't you ever do that again.
Mom.
This one is new too.
You bought yet another one.
- Come here. - No, stop, Mom.
My goodness.
Go Woon, I'm going to kill you.
- What will you do with this? - No!
Can I have this?
Come on.
Goodness.
- Go Woon. - Ji Seok.
I had to sneak out, so I'm a little late.
I see. Didn't you miss me?
Of course, I did.
Okay. You said that you missed me,
so here's an autographed ball.
Gosh, thank you.
Right, is Go Ya doing well?
- Yes. - Tell her that I miss her.
Hello?
You found her?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Go Woon, I'll come again.
Oh, it came.
All right. I should drink this.
What's wrong with you?
That hurts.
What's wrong with me?
I hope you're well, Go Bong.
Goodness.
Hello? Yes, Mom.
Of course, I'll be there. It's the day Dad passed away.
(Jang Ok Ja's Cooking Class)
- Grandma, Mom. - You're here.
- Where's Ji Seok? - He'll come by himself...
after he finishes his psychotherapy.
How's the search for Go Ya going?
I uploaded a picture of her on the national teachers' website,
but I haven't heard from anyone.
Haven't you heard from Go Ya yet?
Someone called me and said they saw her, so I ran over.
But it wasn't her.
Goodness.
Go Woon said he misses her,
and asked if she's doing well.
It really broke my heart.
I told everyone that I know...
to give me a call when a patient...
named Choi Go Ya comes in.
Medical records are impossible to hide.
Such a request is illegal,
but I said I'll take responsibility for it.
- Thank you, Uncle. - Shouldn't your mother-in-law...
know that Go Ya is gone?
She cut ties with Go Ya,
and said she should never come back.
If she finds out that Go Ya is gone,
she'll blame herself.
We should find Go Ya before her mom finds out.
I see.
I'm going to the temple today for Dad's death anniversary.
What's this money?
It's this month's child support money for Go Woon.
But the amount is different.
It's more than usual.
They can use the extra money for living expenses.
But you don't have any money.
I got a cleaning job in addition to this.
What's with you? Why are you suddenly working so hard?
Give it back. It's for Yang Sook.
Change the bulb in front of the gate too.
Okay.
Ji Seok used to do that for us.
Thinking about Ji Seok makes me miss Go Ya.
Isn't it hard?
No. I'm good at this.
- Done. - Be careful.
But it's missing a screw.
It's okay. It won't fall off.
- Here. - Okay.
- Let's go in. - Okay.
How is Ji Seok's condition?
He's gotten a lot better.
He said his family was going to the temple today...
for his dad's death anniversary.
Well... Is Go Ya doing well?
Is she loved by her in-laws?
- Of course. - I'm sorry.
I won't ask next time.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I'm going to the temple to pray.
Do you want me to give you a ride?
What?
Dad.
Please help me find Go Ya.
Is this where you pray?
Yes.
This place looks familiar.
Oh, that's right. Ji Seok's dad.
Mother.
Where is Go Ya?
Where is she?
(Forever Enemies)
Have you talked to Go Ya recently?
She must be living well forgetting about us.
How could we run into each other like this again?
Go Ya is probably not coming back.
What happened to Go Ya?
Did something happen?
- Yang Sook. - Get out of my way.
- What's wrong with Yang Sook? - What happened?
Where did Go Ya go?
Please tell me.
