(Episode 35)

Why is everyone so down now?

Are you that sad because Jung Hyo's getting married?

- Stop it. - Don't you think so though?

Everyone is...

You're right. It's a happy day. Let's enjoy the food.

I couldn't prepare something amazing.

But I hope this makes you smile.

It's not something expensive, but they said it won't break.

If the rings show we are married,

these watches mean we promised to live in the same time.

As it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be.

Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere!

Our baby is special...

The baby even has a name like us.

It's So Myung.

You are not my love.

You are my religion.

Religion?

Father,

- Yes? - Since we're married now,

I can confess my love openly like this, right?

What?

Religion...

Do you like it that much?

Well, it's more than that.

I'm happy because we actually achieved something together.

Don't count that as your wedding ring.

Tell him to buy you another ring...

you can keep forever.

Mom.

- Why? - Maybe I'm too young and foolish.

But could you listen to what I have to say?

- What is it? - Getting an expensive ring?

I won't even be able to wear it.

I'll just have to keep it somewhere safe then.

And if I ever get divorced, the ring would lose its meaning anyway.

- So? - Rather than the price and shape,

making a promise to each other that we'll stay together forever...

sounds more important to me. Don't you think so?

This makes my heart flutter.

Because I believe Min Soo and I...

will never take off this ring as we promised.

Do you think I'm being too childish?

No.

You're more mature than I am.

You seem like you're becoming an adult too soon,

so I feel a bit bad.

I don't feel unfair to change like this.

I can accept...

the times that make me a wife...

and a mom.

It feels like destiny.

I guess...

it's time to tell her.

Can't we...

stay like this a little longer?

I want to make her happy.

I want us to be like this at least for a while.

We don't know when her condition will get drastically worse.

I've never resented myself for my entire life.

I've blamed on others for everything...

including my dad's affair...

and my mom's loneliness.

All these years,

I thought I was victimized the most for everything.

But I happened to resent and hate myself...

for the first time recently.

I hated myself for turning a blind eye on So Myung.

I thought I was pathetic...

for not being able to comfort Jung Hyo while she struggled alone.

I don't want to hate myself from now on.

I'll carry the responsibility until the end.

So let us stay this way...

at least for another day.

Stay with her tonight.

Sleep in Min Soo's room, Mr. Jung.

What about you?

I don't think I can sleep.

I'll just watch TV.

Still, isn't it a bit too inappropriate...

for them to share a room?

They're married.

But still...

Father,

we're a married couple now.

And I want to do my best for Jung Hyo...

even for a second.

Actually,

I've imagined this moment throughout my life...

while raising my daughter.

I wondered what I should tell my son-in-law.

I wanted to share my time with her to him...

in a cool way too.

But you've figured everything out, so I have nothing to say.

Please take good care...

of Jung Hyo.

Don't worry.

I'll do better...

and love her more.

Okay.

I'm on your side.

What's gotten into you?

Because I'd do the same if I were you.

It's not something you should say as a single man.

You were...

like my father.

He was cowardly.

And he always disappointed his family.

He really is like me indeed.

One day,

I visited the military camp where he worked at.

Was it when I was 10?

It was an event for families of soldiers.

That must be...

when I started to dream...

about having a better job than my father.

What did you see?

He was babysitting a child of his superior,

who had a higher rank than his.

That child seemed at least three years younger than me.

My mom ran errands for the woman...

who seemed to be that superior's wife.

I was left alone.

I see.

They looked miserable.

Seeing my mom become miserable...

because of my father's uniform...

made it unbearable for me.

I knew about it briefly,

but it's the first time hearing it directly from you.

But my father...

had to hold on to that uniform despite that situation...

because of the same reason as yours.

Because of his family.

I guess that's the burden...

of being a father.

I'll go.

Go where?

I better go home now.

Hearing your story comforted me a little.

- Captain Han. - Yes?

Whatever choice you make,

I hope you don't become miserable like my father.

Whatever choice is destined to make me miserable.

That's the burden of a man, you punk.

Bye.

Lie down on my legs.

Why?

You put on a thick makeup earlier.

You should wash it off thoroughly. Your skin might get damaged.

It's okay.

You got sensitive over a pimple on your skin in the past.

Hurry. I'm tired too.

It's a bit embarrassing.

I mean, our parents are outside.

It's not embarrassing.

We're a married couple.

You're right, but still.

Shall we go on a trip tomorrow?

- A trip? - Let's make it a prenatal trip.

What about your part-time jobs?

When I said I'll go on vacation for a week,

the pizza store fired me.

And my aunt said okay.

The coffee shop said okay and told me to come back after a week.

Can we really go?

Let's...

visit famous restaurants...

and feed So Myung lots of delicious food.

I want to do everything I couldn't do...

for him.

You can do those things for him in time.

What's the rush?

You're right.

But...

I want to do everything for him in advance.

You really sound like a dad now.

Sorry.

For what?

I'm just saying that.

So do better from now on.

It's good to get a massage.

What's wrong?

So Myung keeps moving these days.

So Myung.

Your daddy's going to buy you delicious food tomorrow.

So please be a good baby tonight.

Say something to him too.

So Myung.

Don't annoy her too much.

I'll bear it all.

What's so complicated?

A week has passed already.

This process usually take this long.

Visiting the hospital every single day...

doesn't mean that you'll have the result sooner.

You punk.

I've seen you ever since you wore your diapers.

Stop the nonsense, and get to the point.

It usually takes more than a month.

Shut your mouth, and read the result.

I have no time to spare.

There's nothing I can tell you with certainty right now.

Alzheimer's disease...

requires observation too.

Alzheimer's?

I'm not here for that.

Will you keep playing jokes with me?

Dementia is also called Alzheimer's disease.

So what's the conclusion?

Well, according to the brain image...

and the result of my observation of you...

for the last week,

it shouldn't be considered as a diagnosis,

but I think I can give you my opinion...

that you're in the early stage of it.

You...

Are you sure about that?

I'll kill you if it turns out wrong, so you better be careful.

It's only my opinion.

I told you I need to see for a few months...

before giving you the clear diagnosis.

Let me ask you something since you're here.

Do you remember your daughter's phone number by any chance?

Her number?

Well...

What was that?

Then do you remember whom you met yesterday?

Yes.

Tell me their names.

Well...

See? You have to be observed...

through a face-to-face meeting with a doctor.

Hold on a second.

I can't remember the names right away.

Can you remember things when you're suddenly asked?

This isn't a conclusion, so don't worry.

Let's see how things go for now.

Don't be so disappointed.

This is a common disease for those who are older than 65.

1 out of 10 people get it.

And even if it is dementia,

when it's found in the early stages,

you can always delay it.

Are you saying it's that easy...

like a common cold?

That's not what I mean.

Statistically...

Not everything becomes normal...

just because I'm old.

I can't accept...

everything...

just because I'm old.

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E35 Goodbye to Goodbye "Don't Live like Me" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

It shouldn't...

happen yet.

I shouldn't forget everything.

Not yet.

I'm going out.

Do you have another interview?

Yes. I have a few more.

Wait.

Fill up Jong Won's car.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

This isn't for you.

I feel bad for Jong Won. Take it.

I'll see you later.

Mom.

I'm going to send you side dishes.

Is there anything you want?

My fridge is too small. You don't need to send me anymore.

I still have a lot left.

Then I will get you a new fridge.

Keep more side dishes.

My house is too small.

Are houses in Gimpo expensive?

You want me to move just for side dishes?

It probably won't be enough even with all the money you have.

Right.

Still, I'm sending you some. Make sure to eat.

It's fine.

Mom. I'm taking out the trash.

I'll call you later.

I should do it when I can.

Otherwise,

it'd hurt my heart later.

Are you going to read it?

I'm curious,

but I'm not brave enough to read it.

In case Dad wrote about how much he misses Mom.

He probably wouldn't want you to read it now either.

You may read it when you're ready.

Will you read it for me and tell me?

Then your father...

will get furious with me.

Even so,

if anything happens to me,

I want you to be the first one to read it.

You probably understand Dad better than I do.

Get ready to go to the hospital.

Are we going in the morning?

I thought we were going in the evening.

I can only make time now before going to work.

Min Soo will meet us there.

Min Soo too?

Yes, I have a fair today.

Right. That's today.

When will it get launched?

They say it will get launched by next week.

You must be happy.

But...

you don't look so happy.

Are you nervous?

Yes. Let's hurry up to the hospital.

(Grandma Ok Ja)

Talk in the shower.

It doesn't bother me anymore.

I will wait downstairs.

Take your time, and get ready.

Yes, Grandma.

Is Min Soo's mother home?

She just left after seeing your call.

Did she say anything?

I guess I shouldn't have called.

No, it's all right.

I was wondering if you want any food.

I still have a lot left.

Still, tell me.

Well, then...

Lately, I've been craving for boiled food.

Like boiled anchovy?

Yes.

Okay, I'll make some and send them for you soon.

Just wait.

What's wrong?

Lately, So Myung's being mean.

He must be active because he's a boy.

I couldn't sleep at all.

Is it that bad?

Yes.

Grandma. I need to go to the hospital now.

I'll call you later.

Sure. Just wait.

I'll make it and send it to you soon.

Okay. Thank you.

It's such a bummer.

A corner of my heart...

feels stuffed.

Her father doesn't know yet.

That's not how Jung Hyo's mother felt.

As a mother,

I understand her mother.

I'm leaving now.

You don't need to come back today.

No, I'll count it as work.

You don't need to come for a while.

Right. I'll cover for you,

so don't worry.

Just take care of Jung Hyo.

Thanks.

Min Soo.

- What are you doing to do? - Why do you cry every day?

Your eyes are never dry.

I looked up.

Even the surgery put a lot of pressure on her.

She might never be pregnant again.

I don't have time to think about the future.

Jung Hyo is precious to me.

Here.

Do something with Jung Hyo.

You're struggling too.

This is the only thing I can do.

Jung Hyo...

is also my family.

Take it.

Thanks.

I'll go now.

Jung Hyo wouldn't want to give up.

I'm so tired to be here in the morning.

We have the result.

I can feel it.

So Myung is healthy.

My body is more accurate.

He bugs me every day.

Mom. Tell Min Soo not to come.

I feel bad. He's working.

You should go to work too.

I can talk with the doctor and go home by myself.

I'm not a child anymore.

I can see that my daughter has changed a lot.

Me?

Compared to the first time we met.

Really?

You don't need to do that yet.

You may whine...

and ask Min Soo to stay with you.

Don't try to understand us.

Don't feel sorry either.

Ms. Jung Hyo.

Let's go in. It's our turn.

(Doctor's office)

Stay firm.

I must think only about her.

That's what I should do right now.

So...

are you saying that I have toxemia?

But I feel totally fine.

What do you mean, you're fine?

Your eye sight is falling, you feel pains in your stomach,

and you feel dizzy too.

Isn't that the way it is when you're pregnant?

Symptoms of albuminuria and high blood pressure make it more certain.

It's toxemia.

You might be fine right now,

but it's very likely that the symptoms will get worse...

as time passes by.

So?

This case applies to the Mother and Child Health Law.

When the mother's health is in danger,

an abortion is allowed.

An abortion?

Mom.

I think it's better for you to consider that option...

- before it gets worse for you. - No.

There's nothing to consider.

- Jung Hyo. - Mom, let's go.

Hurry. Let's go home.

Let's listen to her more.

Then what?

Are you thinking the same?

Did you know about this?

How could you...

- Don't judge rashly. - You're being rash.

Because the checkup result is accurate.

What about my feelings?

I know and feel So Myung more than anyone else.

I'll never give up on him.

Even if my body can't put up with it, I'll...

Do you know...

what all moms tell their daughters?

Don't say it. Please.

"Don't live..."

"like me."

Please. Please stop.

Jung Hyo, don't live...

like me.

Don't sacrifice your everything.

That's what breaks my heart even more.

I'm worried you might end up living like me.

I'm worried you might put up with it even if your body gets destroyed.

I'll decide what to do.

Even if everyone else disagrees,

I'll protect So Myung.

I'm not like my mom who abandoned me.

You did enough. I'll go talk to her now.

Mom, stop worrying, and go to work.

I'll see you later.

Don't...

live like me...

or your mother.

- Let me go. - We need to talk.

So everyone but me knew about this?

- Jung Hyo. - Don't.

I'll say it.

Then say it. I'll listen.

I know better than anyone else.

I'm not afraid.

I won't run away or get worried like my mom who abandoned me.

Then you and So Myung could both be put in danger.

But we're not in danger yet.

It may pass like nothing happened.

My body could put up with it.

Nothing is certain. How can you jump to conclusions...

and give up on So Myung that easily?

- Everyone's worried about you. - What about So Myung?

Why isn't anyone worried about him?

What if he's born healthy?

How will you see his face?

I know...

you want to show him to your mother...

to prove that you've protected him until the end.

Right. What about it?

I'll show her that I'm different. What's wrong about that?

I'm not trying to argue with you.

People don't have just one life anyway.

Your caring heart for a life, your longing but changed heart,

and our decision for you is all because of love.

No.

If someone's hurt because of that love,

then it's not right.

But all decisions will hurt people.

All of us will be hurt if something goes wrong with you.

We'll be hurt if you give up on her too.

Even if you give birth to So Myung and go to see your mother...

Just the very thought of that is making me hurt already.

At least we shouldn't be choosing if So Myung will live or die.

You're right.

Can you pull over for a second?

- What? - I'm thirsty.

I'll go buy something to drink.

We're almost home. Drink when we get there.

It's because I'm nervous of seeing my dad.

Okay. I'll go buy something to drink, so wait here.

I'm not running away.

I only want to protect So Myung.
