(Missing Person)
Who's this?
This is Dr. Lee.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry if I startled you.
I was just so happy to see you.
How did you find me?
Actually, I saw you yesterday at the department store.
I thought perhaps it was you and came to check.
I wasn't mistaken.
If you're the vice director of Aura's gallery,
that means you married Do Kyung, right?
I saw your son too.
I'm so happy for you.
Congratulations.
But... Where's Soo Ho?
You know where he is, don't you?
What do you mean?
Why are you asking me?
He's your husband.
The day you disappeared five years ago,
so did Soo Ho.
I looked for you right away when he went missing,
and you had gone missing as well.
I don't know.
It has nothing to do with me.
That's ridiculous.
The two of you disappeared from the same place at the same time.
How could you not know?
You're standing in front of me now.
Where's Soo Ho?
Esther.
That day...
Do Kyung came to the hotel to see me.
He did?
He asked me to run away with him,
and live somewhere where nobody knows us.
That's why I left with him.
I didn't see Soo Ho at all that day.
Liar.
Stop lying.
You can't do that!
Do Kyung is still alive. How could you make him CEO?
That's like making him your successor to take over Aura Group.
If the problem is that he isn't related to me,
you can just adopt Nam Joon as your son.
Problem solved.
That night, you were...
with Do Kyung and Soo Ho.
Someone saw the three of you.
There was a witness.
A witness?
A hotel employee was going home...
and saw the three of you fighting.
So why are you lying that you didn't see him?
Esther.
You're keeping something from me.
That's why you're lying.
Where's Do Kyung?
I'll have to see him myself and ask him.
Ms. Jang, the director would like to see you.
She does? Okay. You may go.
I need to go. I have work to do as you can see.
Esther.
Let's talk another time.
No. You go ahead.
I'll wait until you get back.
I need to know what happened to Soo Ho,
and where he is.
I figured I'd see her one day,
but not this suddenly.
What should I do?
The chairman told you to adopt...
Mr. Kim Nam Joon?
Then what happens to No Ah and me?
Even in this situation, you're only worried about...
yourself and your son.
Mother.
What were you doing while I searched the entire world...
looking for Do Kyung?
All you did while Do Kyung was lying in a coma...
was return to the gallery and become the vice director...
and act like the tragic wife of the comatose heir of Aura...
and shop at luxury shops!
What if Mr. Kim becomes CEO,
becomes a Park, and has a child?
He'd do anything it takes...
to give Aura Group to his son.
Then what about your son?
What will happen to my grandson?
We have Grandmother.
She adores Do Ri,
so she'll protect us, I'm sure.
That's not enough.
Ms. Jang had an urgent matter to handle...
and left the gallery.
She says she's sorry and that she'll call you.
Hello?
This is Oh San Ha's phone?
Yes, I'm Oh San Ha. Who's this?
Five years ago,
when I collapsed...
in front of the police station,
Dr. Lee and you helped me.
I don't know if you remember.
Yes, of course, I remember you.
You even gave us hotel vouchers for our honeymoon.
How have you been?
I've been fine.
I happened to see your flyer.
I was so shocked when I saw this.
The flyer?
Yes.
I had no idea that Dr. Lee had gone missing.
I even spoke with him that night.
You did?
Where are you right now?
If you don't mind, may I come to you?
Well...
The thing is...
My grandson is not well,
so I'm at the hospital. Aura Hospital.
Where did you say you were?
Yes, I know where that is.
Yes. I'll come to you right now.
I need to get rid of her.
I'm sure she'll be back.
You must have been through so much.
You've lost so much weight.
I'm fine.
There were some tough times, but I'm going to be strong.
That's the only way I'll find Soo Ho.
My gosh. You are so strong.
You said you spoke with Soo Ho?
Yes. That night,
Dr. Lee said he'd come to see me...
once he got back from his honeymoon.
So I waited, but I didn't hear from him...
for days upon days.
I tried calling his phone,
but he wouldn't pick up.
I just assumed he was busy with work and let him be.
I thought this old woman was being clueless...
and bugging a young couple.
Around what time was that?
I think it was about 9 or 10pm.
We had just finished dinner...
and were getting ready for bed.
Did he say anything else?
Like he had to go somewhere...
I don't remember him saying anything like that.
I see.
I should've looked into it more back then.
I shouldn't have just ignored it.
No, ma'am.
There was just too little to go on to locate him.
I'm so grateful to find out even this much.
Plus, I know that Soo Ho...
will come back.
Soo Ho.
San Ha.
Oh San Ha!
Do you hear me?
San Ha! Oh San Ha!
What's wrong?
Nothing. I thought I heard something.
I'm sorry.
- Great-grandma! - Hi there.
Oh no.
Hi.
Hi. We meet again.
Do you know my grandson?
He's my great-grandson.
- He is? - Yes.
Does that mean she is Esther's grandmother?
He saw my missing person flyer...
and said he'd help me find Soo Ho.
So that's why it was in his bag.
- Grandma, look at this. - Yes?
Look. I drew a tree, a cat,
and people.
Daddy's always sleeping, so he can't see them.
I want him to see this...
once he wakes up.
You drew that so well. Very well.
That man lying there is my grandson.
The day Dr. Lee went missing,
my grandson was in a big accident and...
My goodness. He's been in a coma ever since.
Sorry?
I'll look for Dr. Lee as well.
I'll check with the police,
and try to get programs that find people to look for him too.
You must be upset enough about your grandson,
but I really do appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
San Ha!
You're here, right? You are, right?
I'm here!
Don't you hear me?
San Ha! Oh San Ha!
I'll get going then.
No.
Don't go, San Ha!
San Ha!
I'll be in touch.
Do not give up hope...
on finding Dr. Lee.
I won't. I'll pray...
for your grandson's recovery as well.
Goodbye, then.
San Ha!
Do Kyung!
Please reconsider the adoption matter.
It's not because Nam Joon... I mean,
It's not because Mr. Kim isn't good enough.
It's just that...
I haven't done anything for Do Kyung as his father,
and given the state he's in,
I feel like if I were to adopt Mr. Kim now,
I'd be abandoning Do Kyung again.
I feel the same way, sir.
Do Kyung has been like a brother to me.
I refuse...
to take his place while he's lying there like that.
In that case,
I'll have to adopt you myself.
Since no one wants you adopting him,
I'll adopt him myself.
What do you think, Mr. Kim?
You'll resign?
Whose idea is this?
Did he put you up to it or was it Do Kyung's mom?
It's my idea.
You took in this orphan since middle school...
and took care of me financially and emotionally.
That's why I worked hard for Aura to repay you.
Aura Construction and Planning,
the business close to your heart, is stable now.
I think it's only right that leave now.
He's saying he won't take from other people.
Father, then was all of this...
What did I tell you?
I told you I'd filter out jerks who care...
only about themselves, didn't I?
There's no need to hesitate.
Propose promoting him to CEO with the board right away.
Hello, Mother.
Do Kyung what?
I'm sorry to tell you this,
but any further care appears to be meaningless.
It'll keep straining his heart, causing him to go into shock,
and it may cause him greater pain.
- Do Kyung! - Honey.
Keep going.
Now,
it's time for the family to make a decision.
Everyone heard, right?
Start the preparations.
Father. Father, no.
Please... Please don't abandon Do Kyung like this.
He says there's no hope.
He's barely alive.
It may be best for him...
to let him move on peacefully.
I refuse!
How could you tell a mom...
to cut off her own son's life?
Same for this grandma. No, we can't.
He's all we have left. Our poor Do Kyung.
- Do Kyung. - Do it.
Father!
- Honey. - Mother.
- Honey. - Mr. Chairman.
Honey, I can't let Do Kyung go like this.
I can't let Do Kyung go like this.
I'd like to be alone with Do Kyung.
Do Kyung...
Do Kyung.
I'm so sorry.
I've been such a bad father to you.
Once you woke up,
I wanted to go fishing with you,
make memories with you,
and let you do anything you want to do...
No.
There's so much...
I wanted to say, but...
Do Kyung.
Dad's sorry.
I'm sorry.
If you had supported Do Kyung properly five years ago,
Father wouldn't have kicked him out.
Then he wouldn't have been in that accident.
Why are you here?
Did you come to watch, in hopes that you could...
take Do Kyung's place?
Don't blame an innocent man!
Let's go.
Do Kyung...
In times like these,
you need to be stronger.
Okay?
Yes, Grandmother.
Get in already!
I'm coming.
Bye.
I'm sorry to tell you this,
but any further care appears to be meaningless.
Sorry, Soo Ho.
Fate is on my side.
It's me. Esther.
Esther.
I'm sorry about earlier. Something urgent came up.
I couldn't even help you feel better.
It's okay.
I heard about Do Kyung's accident.
Sorry?
You were going through such a hard time as well,
but I went on and on about my situation.
I was so selfish.
I'm sorry.
How did you find out about Do Kyung?
I met this elderly woman by chance,
and she turned out to be Do Kyung's grandmother.
You know his grandmother?
Yes.
Soo Ho and I met her a while back.
She saw my missing person flyer and called me.
She told me about Do Kyung's accident too.
San Ha, actually,
I was in the accident with Do Kyung that night,
so I can't remember anything from that day.
Maybe...
because of what happened to Do Kyung,
I don't want to remember what happened that day...
and am suppressing my memories.
Esther...
But after hearing what you said,
I tried hard to remember,
and I do think I saw Soo Ho that night.
And?
We weren't fighting.
He, Do Kyung, and I spoke for a short while...
and went our separate ways.
And after that,
I was too consumed with everything with Do Kyung and didn't call.
I see.
I looked a lot for you too.
I thought if I found you,
I'd be able to find Soo Ho as well.
I'm sorry for not calling you.
But now that I know about Soo Ho going missing,
I'll do what I can too.
He was like a real brother to me.
I'll help any way I can.
Let's look for him together.
Thank you.
(Missing Person)
You'll never find Soo Ho.
He's going somewhere else very soon.
Let's keep in touch frequently...
and rely on each other.
I'm looking for a missing person. Please take a look.
Thank you. Please take a look.
Excuse me. Would you please take a look at this?
That's hot!
Seriously!
Look where you're going!
- I spilled my coffee. - I'm sorry!
I'll pay for your dry cleaning bill.
If you'd tell me how much you want...
There's no need for that.
He's the one that was too busy...
looking at his phone and didn't look where he was going.
Mr. Kim Nam Joon?
As you can see, you're the one who was hurt.
Let's go. There must be a pharmacy nearby.
Okay.
Hold on.
It's okay. I'll do it.
I'm almost done.
There.
It looks like it'll come right off.
I'm sorry. I've never done this before.
It's okay.
I don't think I need a bandage.
Anyway, what were you doing there?
Right? We just happened to run into each other.
But...
I guess you still haven't found your husband.
No.
Thank you for helping me four years ago...
and again today.
Not at all.
Thanks to you,
I got to laugh. It's been a while since I've laughed.
What's wrong?
You look disturbed.
You look like you're hurting inside.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry.
A close friend is very sick.
It's hard to control my emotions.
I don't know...
what I should do.
I'm sure your friend is happy...
just having you by his side.
Just being by my side without saying anything.
That alone is very comforting.
That's how it was for me, too.
That's good viscosity.
The scent is good too.
I just need to increase the absorption rate.
Hey! Are you inside?
Come out if you are!
You're studying hard for the civil service exam, right?
Why are you wearing more and more makeup,
and why are you wearing such flashy clothes?
You know how I am.
When I look pretty, I'm more confident and study better.
And this is an interference tactic.
To break their focus by making them look at me.
You're in your mid-20s now.
You're not young enough to waste time...
Isn't that San Ha?
- She's with a guy. - A guy?
Where?
It's Nam Joon.
The one who helped her a long time ago.
I know him very well. I mean, I'm...
What? Why is she sending away our savior like that?
That rude girl.
She should invite him in for tea or something.
San Ha.
Wasn't that Nam Joon?
The one who helped you that time.
Yes. I ran into him.
Are you coming home now too?
Yes. I finished work late.
Let's get inside.
Your dad must be waiting. Let's go.
Where would we go...
in this dead of winter?
Please, I'm begging you.
I've been patient for five years.
I've done all I could.
I assume you understood,
so I'll be leaving now.
You can't go like this! Sir!
- Honey! - Dad!
Honey.
What happened to him? Why is he on the ground like that?
I did nothing wrong.
He fell on his own.
I said to move out...
by the end of the month. That's all.
Move out?
What? Was I wrong to say that?
I mean, you've been asking me to wait one more year, one more year...
for five years already.
I'm going to tear this house down...
and build a multi-family house,
so I want you people out of my house!
If you want to raise the rent, we'll pay it.
We can't move.
My husband may come back to this house.
- My back! - Honey.
Dad, are you okay?
You people have no shame!
My back...
Fine, let's just move.
- Mom! - Mom!
This is the first house...
I lived in after coming to Seoul. It's sentimental to me too.
But while we were living here, our business went under,
you went blind, and Soo Ho...
I have no qualms about leaving this house anymore.
Honey.
San Ha worked day and night...
to keep this house. Did you forget that?
As she says,
what if Soo Ho comes to this house?
The living must go on living!
How long will we live for someone we don't even know...
whether he's dead or alive?
Mom, San Ha will hear you.
Gosh.
This is the lease for the place Soo Ho had rented.
I'll use this to duke it out with the landlord.
So don't you ever say we should move again.
I wanted to decorate our home with my own hands.
It's been a dream since childhood.
You don't even have time to sleep, between working and studying.
You must be so tired.
I have my vitamin.
The human vitamin, Oh San Ha.
Let me recharge.
Let's love each other more in here, have kids,
and live happily ever after.
San Ha?
Dad.
Here. How's your back?
Gosh.
It'll be fine after a good night's rest.
You must be very upset.
What about?
The place you were going to live in with Soo Ho.
Soo Ho worked hard to get it.
You went every weekend...
without fail and cleaned it.
I know that.
No.
I'm sure Soo Ho will understand.
Dad.
I know it's hard, but let's hang in there.
Once the product we developed becomes a success,
we can get everything back.
Okay.
Soo Ho.
Thanks for everything.
Goodbye.
Soo Ho!
What did you do to me?
What did you do...
to my face?
Don't worry.
He won't wake up.
He can't wake up.
The item up for discussion at today's emergency board meeting...
is the appointment...
of Director Kim Nam Joon as CEO, and Chairman Park proposed.
This is terrible!
There's an emergency board meeting right now.
They're discussing appointing Nam Joon CEO.
An emergency board meeting?
Without notifying me?
It's Kim's doing.
That jerk is finally showing his true colors.
You stay here.
Don't leave his side for a moment until I get back.
- Got it? - Yes, ma'am.
Even if you come back, there's no place for you anyway.
So please, go already.
You've fought long enough.
Thank you for living as Do Kyung all these years.
I'll repay you in the afterlife.
San Ha.
Are you free today?
Yes. I'm done with my hospital work and don't have any lectures...
at the cultural center.
Thank goodness.
Can you work full-time in my place for me?
For whom?
Excuse me.
Hello, I'm Oh San Ha, your physical therapist.
Do you remember me by any chance?
Should I call Esther and let her know?
No. This is my work.
Okay, then. I'll begin now.
Please wake up.
Everyone is waiting.
Who gave you permission to come in here?
Esther.
How are you...
I've been working as a physical therapist.
His therapist suddenly asked me to fill in.
Get out right now.
- Esther. - I said to get out!
I heard his heart stopped yesterday. Is she sensitive because of that?
My phone.
I left my phone inside.
I left my phone.
Then hurry up and take it!
(Ms. Chun)
Hello? Oh San Ha speaking.
Hi. It's me.
About that TV show I told you about...
They called to say they'll have you on.
Really?
- Ma'am. - Hi.
Do Kyung!
