Mr. Yu, keep your promise that you'll be my dad.

I will.

Then I'll start calling you Dad from now on.

Dad, give me a haircut.

I want to go home soon.

Can I really call you my dad from now on?

Of course.

From now on, I'm really your dad.

How did it go?

- I cut his hair. - Really?

How did you talk him into it?

He said he was never getting a haircut.

- We made a promise. - A promise?

- Go inside. - Okay.

Dong Ho, what promise did you make with him to get a haircut?

Mr. Superman promised to be my real father.

He said I can call him my dad in front of other people.

He did?

You must be really glad...

to have a father now.

What's wrong? You should eat more.

The adults should stay healthy to nurse our grandchild better.

I just can't seem to eat.

I wonder if Yu Jung is eating well.

I asked her on the phone earlier, and it doesn't seem like it.

Also, Dong Ho is upset after getting his hair cut today.

He got his hair cut?

I heard he was being persistent that he won't get a haircut.

He was, but he cut his hair Tae Poong talked to him.

I guess they really are related by blood.

He listens to his father.

- What? - Never mind.

I should make some side dishes and porridge...

and visit them first thing in the morning.

You must be very upset, Yu Myung.

Okay, I'll see you at the weekend. Bye.

Yu Myung's whole family is feeling down because of Dong Ho.

They must be. Such a healthy child got sick all of a sudden.

I can only imagine how startled and devastated they'll be.

What about Dong Ho? Did he start getting chemotherapy?

Yes. So he even shaved his head today.

I heard he held out for days to not shave his head.

Fortunately, he did today.

Tae Poong, what are you doing out in the cold?

Was it that sad...

when you cut Min Woo's hair?

I'm...

so sorry for Min Woo.

Why would you be sorry for him?

I guess...

he missed his father very much.

I should be sick to go to the sky.

I can meet Dad if I go to the sky.

I'll hang out with him for a few days...

and come back to Mom.

Did he...

really say that?

Yes.

And all I could do for him was...

let him call me his dad.

Tae Poong...

I wanted to make him really happy...

and proudly tell him that I'm his father.

Why now?

Tae Poong,

he'll be cured.

The doctor said so. He said it'll be okay after chemotherapy.

I wish I could be sick instead of Dong Ho.

We're never...

letting him see the weak side of us.

We have to brace ourselves...

for Min Woo to cheer up while watching us.

You're his father.

- Dad. - Yes, son.

- Dad. - Son.

Dad!

You've called me over 20 times now.

Are you that glad to call me your dad?

Yes, I am.

I wanted to say: "Dad," a lot.

- How many times? - Many.

So many times!

Oh, right.

Change your name on my phone to "Dad."

Should I?

All right.

"Dad."

There.

What name did you use for my number?

Do you want to know?

Then...

you should try calling your dad.

Ta-da.

I already changed your name to "Son."

I really do have a father!

I'm excited.

I'm going to brag about it to Min Joon...

when I get well and go back to kindergarten.

What is this?

Mrs. Han Yu Ra's mother brought porridge for her.

- I think she left it then. - Her mother?

- Are you sure it was her mother? - Yes.

She did say she was her mother.

(Namchuncheon High School School Trip)

Yu Ra is definitely hiding something from me.

There must be a reason why Ms. Park sent this photo to me.

I can't get in touch with Ms. Park since then,

and Yu Jung said she has no clue.

Now who do I have left to ask?

You see, it's...

Feel free to tell me.

What's the matter?

Father.

Take a look at these.

Wait,

that's...

Yes.

It's Ms. Han Yu Jung from the marketing department.

She's also the one...

that Seo Jun have in mind.

Father,

please make him come around.

I love him so much.

If he comes around,

I'll pretend as nothing happened and make a normal family.

Are you feeling unwell?

What medicine is that?

Just cold medicine.

You read books until late today.

Yes.

Have you...

known about it?

About what?

About whom Seo Jun likes.

You don't have to worry about that.

I already met her.

What did she say?

Is she having the same feelings as Seo Jun?

No.

It was only Seo Jun who had feelings.

She said they were only friends...

and she didn't like him.

Even if she liked him,

I won't accept her as my daughter-in-law.

A single mother with a kid can never be a match to Seo Jun.

If Seo Jun can take care of his feelings,

the problem will be solved easily.

Dong Ho, why won't you go on a walk?

I don't want to.

Why not? You should take a walk to exercise. It's good for you.

No! I don't want to go out!

Why don't you want to go out?

My hair.

It's embarrassing.

It's okay. You wore a hat.

Dong Ho, you don't have to be embarrassed. It's not weird!

No.

If I go out with a hat,

people will all think I cut my hair.

You don't know how I feel!

Let me get some water. In the meantime, think about it.

Dong Ho.

- Yes? - Don't do that.

If you're embarrassed,

your mom will cry.

Why would she cry?

Because she is upset.

My mom also cried in the restroom while no one was watching...

when I got embarrassed after shaving my head.

- Is that true? - Yes.

Right now, your mom must be crying.

I can't let Mom cry.

So if your mom comes back, why don't you hug her?

Oh, my.

Yu Jung!

- Mrs. Yoon. - You don't look so well.

You must have suffered a lot.

It's nothing.

Dong Ho must be going through a lot more than I do.

I heard the chemotherapy is over.

Yes. After seeing the results,

the doctors will decide whether he can go home or not.

The therapy will go well.

Don't worry about it too much.

By the way, what brought you here? You must be busy.

Well...

I have a gift for Dong Ho.

- Ta-da! - They are hats!

I made them by myself to give them to you.

How do you like them?

Yes, they are pretty!

Dong Ho, you must be so happy!

If you wear these pretty hats,

people will never think you cut your hair, isn't that right?

Yes.

You should thank her.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Dong Ho, would you like to try it on?

Which one do you like more?

This one.

This one?

Let me help you wear it.

It looks so good on you.

I made it in a hurry, so it might be loose.

Next time, I will make it prettier.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Mom, I want to show this to Dad.

When is Dad coming?

Gosh!

Did you find Dong Ho's father?

- Yes. - That is such good news!

You were searching for him for so long.

But how did you find him?

Let me tell you later.

Okay.

You must have a lot of issues to think about.

I am sorry I asked you.

I should be going.

Dong Ho, stay strong and eat well.

- Let's meet again! - Goodbye.

Okay, see you later.

Goodbye. You don't have to see me out.

- Oh, Min Hyuk! - Su Hee.

How come you are here?

I came here to visit Yu Jung.

Are you here to meet Yu Jung too?

Yes.

It is a relief to see Dong Ho staying more bravely than I thought.

Maybe it's because he found his dad. Which reminds me,

did you see Dong Ho's father?

Hello, Sang Tae?

Oh, okay. I understood.

I'll be there now.

I should be going.

You are very busy these days, aren't you?

You seem to come home early in the morning and go out soon.

A little.

Take care of your health while working. All right?

Okay. You should go, Su Hee.

I will. Bye.

- You are back. - Yes, Mrs. Ju.

This is the medicine made from the oriental medical clinic.

- Thank you. - And also...

About volunteering for patients in the pediatric cancer center...

The hospital wanted Mrs. Han to please join the event together.

Is that so?

Yu Ra, will you be able to make it?

I can make it.

But your health is not well. And considering your situation,

feel free to tell me if you want to take a rest.

It's okay. It's an activity with a good purpose.

Of course, I should go help you.

Also...

I think I should physically work out...

to relieve my depression.

Okay, then.

Mr. Koo, tell them she will join me.

Yes, ma'am.

That's a good idea, Yu Ra.

You should act as if nothing happened.

Seo Jun will come back after wearing himself out.

Seo Jun.

I heard the person you like...

is Ms. Han Yu Jung. Is that right?

How did you know?

Dad.

Did you meet Yu Jung?

Seo Jun.

What are you thinking?

I told you before.

I want to follow my heart.

Why are you acting so foolish?

She has no feelings for you.

What are you even thinking of doing?

Do you think tying her down next to you...

is love?

If you really love her,

you should wish for her happiness.

I can make her happy.

Seo Jun.

The more you try to hold onto her, the more she will get hurt.

If you really love her,

you should know...

when to let go.

Doctor, how is Dong Ho's condition?

The chemotherapy results are good.

Really?

Does this mean he passed a crisis?

Yes.

We should see how things go for some more time,

but the leukocyte and neutrophil levels are all stable so far.

Thank you so much, doctor!

You can take him home tomorrow.

Let's see how it progresses during outpatient treatment.

Okay, doctor. Thank you.

Yes.

Is that so?

That's great news!

So? Is he coming tomorrow?

Yes.

Okay, bye!

- What did she say? Is Dong Ho okay? - Yes.

The results are great.

He is okay to come home tomorrow!

That's a relief!

He must have passed the crisis!

Now we can be relieved.

Before Dong Ho comes home,

why don't we clean up the whole house?

That's right. Even if it takes the whole night,

let's make a clean environment for Dong Ho!

Let's do it!

They mustn't have been able to eat a decent meal.

I should make some healthy food for Dong Ho to eat.

Yu Myung, take this.

I washed Dong Ho's blanket and steamed them.

They dried quickly. It must be because of the nice sunlight.

Wipe the ground thoroughly.

Wipe the corners too!

- Okay! - You too, Bong Jun!

Wipe here there's not a speck of dust.

Look at this dust! You know how bad this is for Dong Ho's throat, right?

Don't you worry.

I will wipe them so shiny that even a fly will slip itself.

Okay.

Let's pay attention...

and wipe the room as clean as possible.

- Not even a speck of dust! - Yes, ma'am!

I thought you were at a high school in Chuncheon,

but you are in Seoul.

I was transferred to Seoul last year.

By the way, you have questions about Yu Ra.

Yes. I have questions about Yu Ra's parents.

Her parents?

They're nice people.

They were not wealthy,

but they were diligent and well-mannered.

Is that so?

When did they go to the US then?

To the US?

I heard they are dentists in the US.

Are you sure you're talking about Yu Ra?

Anchor Han.

Yes. Why?

Yu Ra's parents are not dentists.

As far as I know, her father was a chauffeur...

of the chairwoman of a food company in Chuncheon.

Her mother was a maid at the house.

I'm sorry?

What the heck happened?

Her father was a chauffeur?

She said he was a dentist at the family dinner.

He even went to a seminar held by the Dental Association.

Geun Won, what did you find out?

There's no dentist called Edward Han?

Are you sure?

Okay. Thank you.

Dong Ho, happy birthday!

Great! Welcome!

Welcome back to the house!

Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle, I missed you.

Did you?

Mom, why did you cook so much?

Don't get me started on it.

She made all of these all day yesterday...

to give you good food. Let's sit down.

Let's sit down.

Why is he here again?

- He should've gone to his house. - Come on, Mom.

Sit next to me.

Dong Ho, I made good dishes...

to get you healthy, so chew well while eating it.

Okay, Grandma.

Dad, enjoy the food.

"Dad"?

Yes, he's my dad.

He's my dad now.

Yu Jung, is Dong Ho asleep?

Yes. He just fell asleep.

By the way, what's with "Dad"?

What happened?

Did you tell him?

It's not that.

Dong Ho asked him for a favor, so he had no choice.

Did I ask you just now?

Keep it down.

What if you wake Dong Ho up?

So how did it happen?

How much did you tell Dong Ho?

I didn't tell him anything.

Then...

why are you his father now?

Dong Ho said he wanted to go to the sky.

- What? - He missed his father,

so he thought he'd be happy to see him in the sky.

That's why he decided to become his father.

Dong Ho has no idea.

Still.

It's confusing him.

As he started to call him Dad,

he became more cheerful.

That's why the treatment went well.

Well, if you say so.

Our priority is to get him back to a healthy state.

I'm going to go now.

Mom.

Dong Ho, you're up.

Yes.

Dad, where are you going?

I should go home.

But this is home.

Where are you going to your house?

Go to bed with me, Dad.

Dong Ho.

Hold on. That's right.

Tae Poong, you should get him to sleep.

Sleep, Dong Ho

You're sleeping soundly, Dong Ho

Sleep, Dong Ho

Sing again for me.

Are you still up?

Why? Can't you sleep?

No, I can't.

I'm so excited to sleep with Dad for the first time.

Dad, don't go anywhere else.

Stay with me.

Okay.

Let's sleep now.

That way, you'll get healthy and not go back to the hospital.

I'll close my eyes.

Sing it again, please.

Okay.

Sleep

Dong Ho

You're sleeping soundly

Dong Ho

Sleep

Sleep, Dong Ho

Mom, I want to go back to my kindergarten.

I want to play with my friends.

I should boast to Min Joon about having my dad.

After staying with me a little longer.

Then I want to ride a bike.

Ride a bike?

It's so cold, you'll catch a cold.

I can wear more clothes.

Just once. Please?

Fine. Then this once, okay?

Okay.

You should put on more clothes. I'll get you some clothes. Wait.

What?

Did he already leave?

Dong Ho, are you outside?

Dong Ho.

Dong Ho! Oh, my.

Dong Ho, are you okay? Wake up!

Dong Ho! Oh, dear.

Dong Ho, wake up!

Dong Ho! What do I do?

Doctor, what happened?

It's not common to get...

in a bad condition right after being discharged.

I'm sorry?

What do you mean, doctor?

You said he was okay before.

First, we need to get the results from thorough checkups.

Then do we have to start the second chemotherapy right away?

Dong Ho's strength dwindled drastically,

so he doesn't seem to be able to handle the second therapy.

Then...

Then what should we do?

Stem cell transplantation.

In other words, he should get a bone marrow transplant.

A bone marrow transplant?

Dong Ho doesn't have any siblings.

I heard it's only effective when it's from a sibling.

Do we have other options?

Yes.

If his parents get genetic tests...

and they're found as half-matches,

we could transplant their marrows.

Really?

You should get a bone marrow biopsy as soon as possible.

If his parents' genes and his genes are half-matched,

we should start the bone marrow transplant process immediately.

We'll put him on the list at donation centers...

and check if he has any bone marrow match.

Are you Dong Ho's father?

Yes.

Let me take your blood sample.

What's going on?

A bone marrow transplant?

So, the chemotherapy didn't work on him...

and a bone marrow transplant is the only option left?

Yes. The doctor said his parents should get tested,

so Tae Poong went to get tested.

Should we get tested too? We could be a match.

It's less likely than his parents,

but I'll get tested as well just in case.

I'll get tested right now then.

If his parents should get tested,

we should tell Yu Ra to get tested, right?

Oh, dear.

Mom, why are you sick? You're worrying me.

It's all because of you.

So just come back home.

If you're going to talk about that, I'll leave.

Okay. I won't.

Talk with me more now that you're here.

By the way, Mom,

about Yu Ra's parents.

Are they both dentists?

No.

Only his father is a dentist and her mother is a dermatologist.

A dermatologist?

Didn't she say they're both dentists at the family dinner?

I thought so too, but they are not.

Her mother is planning on adopting aesthetics as well.

So she came to learn to open a new shop in New York.

How did you know about it?

I went to a spa in Hotel S before your wedding.

I bumped into her mother there.

That's when I learned about it.

Is that so?

Why are you asking about Yu Ra all of a sudden?

Do you want to work things out with her?

Yu Ra!

I told you not to come here.

Why are you here?

Min Woo...

is sick.

He has leukemia.

What?

Chemotherapy didn't work for him.

Now his only option is a bone marrow transplant.

So his parents should get a bone marrow biopsy.

Tae Poong just got tested,

so you should get tested too.

Tae Poong got tested? Why?

What do you mean? It's his son.

Min Woo is also your son. You should save him.

Go home for now. I'll call you.

When are you going to call me? We don't have enough time.

I got it. Go.

If you don't go now, I won't call you.

Please call me, okay?

Go.

Go already.

Seo Jun.

Yu Ra,

do you have a son?

Doctor, what do the results say?

You're not a match.

Then...

Then what do we do now?

We should call the donation centers.

But with all due respect,

are you the real father of Dong Ho?

Yes, I am.

Why do you ask?

We compared your genes through the bone marrow biopsy.

The DNA testing shows...

that there's no blood relationship.

I'm sorry?

Well,

what do you mean?

In short,

you're not Dong Ho's biological father.

(A Man in a Veil)

Why are you making a fuss? How nosy you are.

You're taking extra care of your ex-boyfriend.

Right. There was a guy who came to my house.

He must be Min Woo's father.

Yu Ra, I'll be on your side anyway.

You'll come to the hospital to get tested tomorrow, right?

Mom.

You have a son. I heard everything.

Don't try to make excuses.

I'll get tested on one condition.

How could you say that?

Are you making a deal over your kid's life?

Why? Are you having second thoughts now that you know he's not your son?
