(Home for Summer)
I won't get IVF anymore.
You're right. Let's stop it.
Instead, let's adopt a child.
What?
Adopt a child?
Yes, let's adopt.
Actually, I have a kid in mind.
I met this boy, Yeo Reum from the Children's Home.
Geum Hui, hold that thought.
It's something I've never expected, so I'm very flustered.
Can we talk about this later?
Later when?
I'm not ready for this now.
Is something going on?
Nothing. I'm feeling restless.
Would you like to join me for a drink?
Sounds good. It's been a while.
Do you have something going on?
All my problems come from your dad.
What about Dad?
I don't know. He seems sharp-tempered recently.
Is something bothering you?
There is something, right?
Should I...
get remarried?
Is there someone around you who's been on your nerves?
What are you talking about?
You never brought up about remarriage.
It seems like you keep talking about it a lot these days.
Perhaps you have someone in mind?
No way.
Or did you meet a happily married friend?
You scare me.
Who's enjoying her happy marriage?
If I tell you, would you know?
You're right. Cheers.
Are you sleeping?
No.
Are you upset that I brought up about adoption?
It's just that I haven't really thought about it.
Then could you consider about it from now on?
- Please? - All right.
I really want to raise Yeo Reum, Honey.
He is only six, but he is very polite and cute.
I'm sure you'd like him when you meet him.
When I went to volunteer at the Children's Home two years ago,
it was also Yeo Reum's first day at the Children's Home.
Don't you think our fate is amazing?
It's not something we can decide on easily.
So let's take some time to think about it.
Oh... All right.
My gosh.
Let me sleep, please!
What?
What's wrong, Mom?
- Look at my nails! - What's wrong with them?
Mom, what's wrong with your nails?
Where is your dad right now?
He just went out for a breakfast meeting...
Did Dad do this?
Who else could it be?
I'm speechless.
I won't let this slide!
What should I do? Look at this!
My goodness.
She must be shocked by now.
I feel good.
What do you think?
What's the matter with you?
Pardon me? What was that?
You should show some reaction when a person says something.
Did you say something?
Are you serious?
I'm sorry. What did you say?
Nothing. Never mind.
Here's your breakfast.
Even you are going to do this to me?
Today is not a good day.
All right then.
I will let you off for today.
All right. Enjoy your breakfast.
Okay.
What's the matter with this family?
Why aren't you eating anymore?
I can't swallow anything, it feels like I'm eating sand.
Anyway, I'm worried about Geum Hui.
What are you saying? She'll retry it after she takes some rest.
Like I said before, IVF is really bad for women's health.
But how can she live the rest of her life without a child?
Can't she consider an adoption?
I know! You're right.
We are all too obsessed about sharing the same bloodline.
- It's not royal blood, anyway. - Hey!
Don't ever say that in front of Geum Hui.
Why do you yell at me? You didn't say anything when Geum Dong said it.
What's wrong with you?
Didn't you say you are shooting a drama starting from this week?
They will contact me.
Geum Dong, did you sign up for interview classes?
I'll take care of it soon.
Oh, right.
This is for you.
- What? - What is that?
What's this?
It's a tie.
I bought it for you to wear it at the interview.
I'm the best, right?
Of course. Geum Ju, you are the best.
But Mom always picks only on me.
Don't say that as if it's true.
- You know it's true. - You little...
Thank you for breakfast.
Hey, wait. You forgot your tie.
Thanks.
Was Geum Ju always that slow-witted?
Why haven't they called me yet?
They should've called me a long time ago.
Should I call them first?
No. Let's wait just a little longer.
Gosh. I feel bad for Geum Ju.
My goodness.
Hi. It's me, Geum Hui.
Hi, Seok Ho.
Did you hear anything from Geum Ju, by any chance?
About what?
Nothing.
However, why do you sound so weak?
Are you feeling unwell?
It's because I was lying in bed before I picked up.
Oh, I see. Did you go to the hospital?
Yes, yesterday.
I didn't know. Sorry.
I'm sorry, Seok Ho.
I can't share any good news this time again.
Please don't be sorry.
You've gone through a lot.
Did you eat lunch?
Shall I buy you ribs?
I'm fine.
Yes. I'll do that. Bye.
Who could that be at this hour?
Who is it?
Geum Hui, open the door quickly.
Yes, Mother. Please give me a second.
Can you give me a cup of coffee?
Sure.
Wait. Why is your belly so flat?
Did the IVF, or whatever that's called, fail again?
Yes.
What's the problem? Why can't you get pregnant like everybody else?
Mother.
- I mean... What I'm saying is... - What brings you here today?
Must I have a reason to visit my son's house?
Then until when will you come here only when he's not home?
Hey.
I don't want to lie to Jun Ho any longer.
If you can't take up the courage, I'll talk to Jun Ho.
Are you threatening me again?
Who is it?
It's me, Geum Hui.
Ouch. It's too hot.
Tell him to leave because you're with a visitor.
- Just a second. - My goodness. I can't believe her.
What should I do?
- Please come in. - Okay.
I didn't know you were with a visitor.
Please say hello to her, Seok Ho.
Who is she?
- Mother. - What?
Jun Ho's birth mother.
What? She...
How have you been?
You... You really are Mother.
What are you doing here?
Then was the person I saw on the street also you?
Yes.
Why did you run away?
I didn't run away.
I had something urgent to take care of.
Anyway, I'm relieved that you look well.
- Did you meet Jun Ho? - Well, I should see him soon.
By the way, what brings you here?
I'm here to take Geum Hui out and buy her a healthy meal.
Geum Hui, let's go somewhere to eat some ribs.
I'm okay.
Please eat with Mother.
Come on. Don't be like that. Let's go.
I really don't have any appetite.
Hey. Even if you have no appetite, lead the way.
How can I go without you when he came to buy you lunch?
However, Seok Ho,
do you even have enough money to buy her ribs?
Of course. I have enough to afford it.
- Geum Hui, eat up. - Okay.
How have you been?
It's been about 15 years since you left home, right?
It hasn't been that long.
It's been only 13 years.
Have you gotten remarried?
Of course not.
I've been living alone until now.
Then you must be lonely.
I do live alone,
but I'm not lonely because I rented out a room in a house.
It must be a large house seeing that you rented out a room.
It's not that big.
There's a small yard. It's a two-story house.
Why don't you hold a house warming party?
Sure. I'll do that.
How about today?
Geum Hui, you haven't been to her house yet, right?
No.
Today won't work for me. I'll call you soon.
Anyway, if I had known you'd be this okay about seeing me,
I would have said hi to you that day.
But you said you had something urgent to take care of.
That's true. But I could've said hi, at least.
Well...
Do you think Jun Ho would be okay seeing me as much as you?
I don't think so.
He's so narrow-minded.
I won't get IVF anymore.
Instead, let's adopt a child.
- The scheduled patient is here. - Okay. Send the patient in.
Please come in.
Please have a seat.
I believe you want to get your eyelid surgery again?
I want to make this side bigger...
What if you weren't married?
What?
If you weren't married,
what would you have thought of someone like me?
Excuse me.
Why? Does your chest hurt?
No.
Don't push yourself too hard.
You might get a heart attack.
You're worried for nothing.
I really enjoyed the food. I'm so full.
What is taking him so long?
You didn't have to buy me more food.
Give this to your parents.
You didn't have to do this.
Thank you.
I'm going this way.
Wait. Here you go, Mother.
This is all I have right now. I'm sorry.
Goodness. How sweet.
I have a lot of money.
I know. But still, I want to give it to you.
All right. Since it's an allowance from my eldest son, I'll take it.
But don't do this again.
Okay. Make sure to invite me to your house warming party.
Okay. See you two later.
- See you. - Bye.
Bye.
I guess he has a lot of money unlike how he looks.
What's this? It's only 70 dollars.
Why didn't you tell me about Mother, if not to Jun Ho?
She didn't want me to do that.
I'm too ashamed to see you for many reasons.
Please don't be.
Geum Hui.
I know it's not my place to say this,
but...
can't you just stop trying IVF?
Did I hurt your feelings?
No.
Thank you, Seok Ho.
As a matter of fact, I told Jun Ho that I want to stop trying.
Did you? What did he say?
He agreed.
Good job, Geum Hui.
There are so many couples without a child.
If you really want to raise a child, you may consider adoption.
Actually, I want to adopt a child too.
I have a child in mind.
That sounds good. What's the trouble?
It seemed like Jun Ho didn't like that idea.
Goodness. I see.
You didn't have to bring this.
You should take this home and eat it yourself.
If you want to retry IVF, you must eat well and get better.
Mom.
I won't retry it.
- What? - You also told me to stop it.
- That's... - I told Jun Ho yesterday...
that I will stop retrying.
And he agreed.
But you should have a child.
I know.
That's why I'm considering an adoption.
"An adoption"?
Did Geum Ju say something?
Why are you mentioning her all of a sudden?
Nothing. Forget about it.
But why are you suddenly considering an adoption?
It's not an abrupt decision. I was thinking about it since last year.
I thought about adopting a child, if I failed once more.
You don't seem to be pleased.
What did Jun Ho say?
Does he also want to adopt a child?
He doesn't seem ready yet.
But he said he will consider it.
Take this.
Since you got married early, you should have a quite grown up child.
How many children do you have? 1 child? 2 children?
- I don't have any yet. - Oh, my.
Pardon me for asking that.
Don't be. Let's eat.
All right. Cheers.
Oh, my.
Are you intentionally not having a baby?
Or is it that you can't?
The latter.
Have you done IVF?
Yes, but I heard that we failed for the sixth time yesterday.
I had to comfort my wife.
Good job.
You should stay by her side at times like that.
You're better off without a child.
Look at me.
One of my children got divorced after less than a year.
And another one quit doctor because I opposed...
his love.
Do you remember my son I told you about?
He never worried me and became a doctor.
So I thought he was a good son.
But...
he brought a girl from a humble origin.
So his mom separated them at last.
Then he quit doctor and ran away to the States.
You must've been upset.
I know this isn't cheering you up.
It's all right. Thank you for sharing.
Don't worry. It's from home.
The number you have dialed is not available...
This jerk!
- The number you have dialed... - Oh, my.
- is not available... - Seriously.
- I'm home. - Call your dad.
He seems to be conscious of his guilt. He's not answering.
I'm going upstairs.
Do me a favor and call your dad.
He's determined to not answer. Do you think he'll answer my call?
It'll be obvious that you made me call me.
Maybe you're right. Then call him later.
How should I take revenge?
- An adoption? - Yes.
She must be tired of everything.
If that's what Geum Hui thinks, tell her I'm with her.
That was a good decision.
You shouldn't be like that.
We should persuade her and make her have her own baby.
It's not anyone, but Geum Hui.
Don't you remember the time when she got married to Jun Ho?
We strongly opposed her.
- But look at them, they are happy. - Exactly.
If they were to live happier lives, they should have their own baby.
Although that's what I said, you should have a child.
Don't you think?
You're right.
You should try 7, 8 or more times...
until you succeed.
I know people adopt a child these days too.
But it must be different from actually holding your own child.
(My Daughter)
See this? My child is calling me...
because she's worried.
Yes, my daughter?
Dad, where are you?
I should go home.
Can you come and pick me up?
Use a chauffeur service.
Go and bring him back home.
I'm tired!
- Come on. - All right.
Dad, where are you?
Oh, dear.
- Dad. - Oh, my daughter is here!
- Yes, I'm here. - Glad to see you.
- I'll be going. - What?
Didn't you say you didn't bring your car?
- I'll give you a ride. - I'll take a taxi.
Don't be like that and come with me.
Sang Mi, take me home first.
And give him a lift home.
- I'm fine. - My goodness!
Quickly, get inside.
Let's go.
There, there.
You can drop me off on the way.
Are you uncomfortable?
Yes.
Why?
- Dad. - Yes?
- We are home. - Are we?
Be careful.
I'm fine. Go home.
- See you tomorrow. - Go home.
Goodbye.
How much did you...
How much did you drink?
My goodness. You smell like alcohol.
We will talk about this tomorrow.
Gosh! I hate the sight of you.
Seriously!
Why do you feel uncomfortable?
- Pardon? - You said a while ago...
that you feel uncomfortable.
Aren't you uncomfortable, Ms. Ju?
No, not at all.
We are here.
Which apartment do you live?
Jun Ho.
Are we here?
Yes.
We're in front of the apartment.
Thank you for the ride.
Go home safely.
What?
(Home for Summer)
- A house warming party? - Call Jun Ho's family too.
Is it near here?
My parents' house is also near here.
This is Director Ju Sang Mi. She'll help me run the hospital.
I look forward to working with you.
Jun Ho's birth mother?
- Am I that person? - It terrifies me...
to think she might be a person like you.
