Episode 49

Are you awake?

Yes.

Prop me up.

Stay lying down.
Is it ok?

- Where's mom?
- Mom?

I don't know. I didn't see her.
She must've snuck out.

It's understandable.
She was stuck here for 3 weeks.

The doctor told me I looked a lot better.
Do you agree?

Of course. You look real good.

Aren't you hungry?
Grandma made some porridge.

She did?

Later.

Hello.

This is her mother.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Yes. Nice to meet you.

Have a seat.

- Sit, mother.
- Okay.

Sit, please.

Thank you for coming.

I wanted to ask you a favor.

Yes. Go ahead.

Did you hear that you can't be a donor because you're a Hepatitis B carrier?

Yes.

So I'd like to ask
to have your children tested.

My kids?

Yes.

My daughter is in the US,
and my son is a senior.

I know, but he has time
to take a blood test, right?

Your daughter can come home, too.

My husband and kids
don't know about my past.

And my daughter is busy
finishing her degree.

My son is also very busy
as a high school senior.

I think you don't know what leukemia is.

She might die if she doesn't get a transplant soon.

Yes. I had my doctor explain.

Aren't there any general donors?

If there was, would we be here now?

They have different fathers, so
there's no guarantee that they'll match.

I can't let my husband
and kids know about my past.

Aren't you her birth mother? How can you say that when your daughter is dying?

Is hiding your past
more important than your child?

She's running out of time.

Mother.

Yes. There's no guarantee like you said.

But they share the same mother,
so there's a 50% chance.

We're that desperate.

Ideally they transplant
with an 80% match rate...

...but if all else fails, 50% will do.

Please. Have your kids take a blood test.

I'm sorry. I can't do that.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?
Your child is dying, and you're sorry?

Don't tell her you found her mother.

She isn't even a mother.

That's why she abandoned her
in the first place.

Her child is dying. How can she refuse without hesitating with a dying child?

- Never tell her.
- I won't.

I don't want to.

It's not good.

We need to transplant before she turns acute for better success rates.

At this rate, she'll turn acute soon.

Acute?

How come?
You said she'd hold up well.

You couldn't find any general donors?

No.

When can we find one?

It's totally unpredictable.

For example,
one person didn't get a transplant...

...because the donor's poor condition,
even with 200 matching serotypes.

On the other hand, a patient with only one matching donor had a transplant...

...as his DNA test matched
and he had good health.

How can you be so irresponsible?

If there's no one here,
you should look abroad!

We are.

We already made a request to China, Japan and Taiwan.

Then there's nothing we can do but wait?

For now, yes.

Goodness. Another transfusion.

I'll be back.

Honey. I'll be back too.

- Where are you going?
- I'll tell you later.

Hey, Mi-Ja.

You had time to come back?

Hey sis.
Dinner is almost ready.

I have to go.
I came to get something.

You're not gonna eat?

She's out of her mind.
She ignored everything.

Goodness. She looks terrible.

I'm sorry.
I was too emotional before.

I was so scared. I'm sorry.

It's ok.

You haven't seen her yet, have you?

Here's a picture or Geum.

And... this is the tape of
a documentary based on her story.

She's a track coach.
She was an athlete at school.

I think they thought
that a track coach with leukemia...

...was good documentary material.
Watch it at home.

Look at the picture.
She grew up so well.

You see that, huh?
She looks a lot like you.

She's pretty because she took after you. She's pretty, huh?

She's as nice too.

She caused little troubles
but never any major ones.

I can't bear children.
So she means everything to me.

I don't have any right to say this,
but thank you.

Thank you.

No, I thank you.
For giving birth to such a beautiful girl.

So... please reconsider.
We have to make her get well.

We can't let her pass away
without fulfilling her dreams.

Please. Call your children
and have them tested.

I don't know how long she'll hold up.

If there're no general donors,
a half-matched donor will have to do.

I beg you. Please.
You can, can't you? Please.

Please.

The coach is sick?

Yes. She's turning blastic
and needs a transplant soon...

...but we can't find a donor.

She doesn't have siblings?

She's adopted.

The purpose of airing this is
to find a donor.

Ok. I'll do it.

You surprised me
by giving me this good chance.

I love her.

But there's nothing I can do.

Except asking you.

So please air it soon.
It's urgent we find a donor.

What now?
I told you my husband is out of town.

I'd like to ask your children
to take the blood test.

If they turn out to match,
then you'll ask them to be a donor.

I can't let them do that. Go.

Ma'am, help us! Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

What's wrong?

It moved for the first time.

- You can feel it?
- Of course.

What? It kicked again?

Yeah. It must be a boy.
His kick is strong.

- Yes?
- Tae-Il, dinner is ready.

Okay.

- Let's eat.
- Let's.

I met Hwang.

I wanted to know what she was thinking.

She seems
not to want to get back together.

Seems she decided to
raise them by herself.

She said she told you that she wouldn't stop you from remarrying. Did she?

Yes.

Then you don't have to hesitate.

Hwang thinks so
and so does your mother.

I agonized because she's pregnant,
but I can't completely forgive her.

The baby is important but so is your life.

We don't want you to get back together because of the baby.

So don't think further and date Miss Kim.

Remarry soon.

Understood?

Hi, Yoon-Soo.

Hello?

Yoon-Soo. Are you drunk?

Hi.

Did you have a lot?

Just one bottle.

It looks like more than that.

My maximum is a half bottle.

Then you exceeded your max.
Are you alright?

No, I'm not.

That's how I got up the courage
to call you.

You're divorced but I liked you.

I trusted you and liked you.

So did I.

Then why did you tell me about
your ex's pregnancy? Why now?

Is it because you wanted to dump me?

No.

Then?

It bothered me that I was deceiving you.
I wanted to tell you before it was too late.

Right. If you kept lying,
it would be harder to forgive.

Then did you tell me
because you were serious about me?

Because you wanted to date seriously
like I do.

Yes.

Thank you.

I guess I was nervous.

If I marry Tae-Il, it becomes my business.

My husband's child is my business.

What's wrong with me?

Aren't you overworking yourself?
The doctor told you to be careful.

I'm fine.

It's late now. You've been
working for over 10 hours.

I didn't get the permanent position.
I have to work.

You didn't? You said it was certain.

The chief told me so, but I didn't.

Then what'll happen?
You're unemployed again after this?

I have to show them results before
this project is over so they need me.

I'm applying for all contests.

How awful.
I thought your trouble was finally over...

I'll get a job.
Geum is holding out like that, too.

Ki called. She got worse.

How?

I stopped by and
she insisted on seeing you.

You must be feeling good to come here. Welcome.

- Have a seat.
- Ok.

Doctor. Please be honest.
How am I doing?

Is it really bad?

Am I in the acute phase?

Not yet, but I'm afraid you will be soon.

Let's start the second round
of chemo 2 days later.

No donor yet?

No.

Don't close to 50% die during chemo?

Geum.

But we have to destroy cancer cells
and turn it back to chronic phase...

...to have a better chance
with the transplant.

Are you awake?

How are you feeling? Alright?

Yeah.

Where did you sneak out to
in the morning?

I took a walk with Joon-Ho.

I thought so.

You wanna eat? You need to eat
when you have no appetite. Tell me.

Being sick has benefits.
You're nice to me.

Sis. Now that we're here, why did you hate me when we were young?

Hey. You usurped me.

Since you came, Ki clung to you
and wouldn't even look at me.

Even boys who used to follow me
went to you.

You mean you were jealous?

Well, sort of.

I'm ecstatic. The proud Hwang
was jealous of me, huh?

You were such a flirt.
You always got more guys.

It feels good to reminisce with you.

It does.

Sis. I have a favor to ask.

If... It's a big if.

If we can't find a donor...

Hey, that won't happen.

Take care of mom.

Geum!

Please.

If... just if...

Geum. What are you talking about?

I said if. I meant If.

If what? There's no if.

I met the doctor.
I heard I'll turn acute.

So? So what?
Still there's no if.

Why not?
I'm more likely to die than live.

Once I turn acute, there's only a 10% survival rate even if I get a transplant.

CML patients in the acute phase
have the worst prognosis.

Why do you care about those numbers?

Then what are the chances that we meet and fall in love? That I'm mad at you?

Do you know you are?
Why are you so mad?

Because you're scared.

See? I'm right.
You can't say anything.

Just in case.

We never know now.

If I turn acute, we don't know
what will happen tomorrow.

So I want to get ready.

I don't wanna leave suddenly
without saying a word.

So? You're preparing to leave?

You don't care about people
who you leave behind?

What about your family?

Me?

Your parents and grandparents?

Hwang, Ki, aunt and Soo-Kyung?
And me?

What do you think we expect from you?

It's not your getting ready.
Not hearing your farewell.

You think so?

The best gift you can give us is
to stay alive.

Till we find a donor, staying with us...

...no matter how humiliating
and painful every day is.

I don't care how you look.
I don't care if you can't move.

Just hold on.
Give us the best gift.

Geum.

- Hi. Please sit.
- Yes.

You can talk casually to me.

Shall I?

Do you meet him often these days?

He's busy,
so I haven't for a while.

That's bad.

Yeah. He sure seemed busy.

Wait. Shall we ask him to buy us lunch?

He'll have to eat anyway.

I tried different colors and situations.

Thank you. We'll review it later.

Ok.

And thank you.

It didn't turn out well,
but thanks for recommending me.

You're welcome.
I'm sorry it didn't work.

If there's another chance,
I'd like to get another recommendation.

I'm pregnant,
but I'll keep up with everyone.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. Bye.

I didn't see your name for
that extra position. You didn't make it?

Did I tell you about that?

You said you'd get hired. So I assumed you would. You didn't get it?

No.

Why? I heard you had a good chance.

I think it's because of my pregnancy. They'd need to give me a maternity leave.

It's all for the better.
Working here with you was awkward.

Don't you think so?

I guess...

I'm looking at other places,
so don't worry.

- How are you feeling?
- Fine.

- What's wrong?
- Something got caught in my eye.

- Let me see.
- It's ok.

Let me see.

It's ok.

Yoon-Soo.

Yoon-Soo?

What?
You're not gonna hold on to him?

You're even chasing him at work.

I work here too.
I came for a meeting and ran into him.

What? You work here?

Yes.

Yoon-Soo.

How can you do this to me?

I was even keeping her pregnancy
from my parents.

I believed you were really busy
and didn't suspect anything.

How can you meet your ex? Didn't you say you were serious about me?

No, it's not that. You misunderstood.

Geum?

Geum!

Geum!

Geum!

Geum!

- Geum...
- Geum! Wake up, Geum!

Geum!

Geum Lee in 601 is unconscious. Quick!

- Nurse!
- Yes, Doctor.

What happened?

She developed pneumonic symptoms.

We gave her antibiotics,
so we should wait.

What will happen?

It means she got worse.

I don't know if she can hold up even
a couple of days before the next phase.

Hi. He's getting blood drawn.

Thank you.

I dragged him in. Told him
it's for my best friend's daughter.

I see.

I told my daughter
to get tested there, too.

The result will come out soon, so if there's a match, I'll tell her to come home.

Thank you. Thank you.

Go back. Say bye to him.

Thank you.

Bye. I'll keep in touch.

See you later.

Bad news.
He's a hepatitis carrier, too.

Kids are likely to be carriers
when their mom is.

You don't have any manners?

Shouldn't you have called?
At this hour?

I'm sorry.
I thought you wouldn't let me if I called.

Sit now that you're here.

So what's this about?

I came to apologize. I'm sorry.

I cursed and hated you so much
for last 30 years...

...and I think my daughter is
paying for my sin.

I sincerely apologize.

So sudden... Is she that serious?

We can't find a donor.

I can't give mine.
I can't do anything but watch her die.

That's how it is...
People's fates are in god's hands.

Alright. I'll let it slide
since you apologized.

But why did you blame me?

I swear I didn't take your boyfriend.
I didn't know you were pregnant either.

I met him by accident after you broke up.

You're right.

Intentional or not,
whether you knew my pregnancy or not...

I shouldn't have hated you that long.

It's all because we were passionate
and blinded by love.

I wanted a child badly and envied pregnant women on the street.

But my health and my fate are to blame.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

I mean it.

Alright. I'll accept your apology.

She must be in a serious condition.
I hope she recovers soon.

Thank you... Thank you.

I'll go.

By the way, I'm sorry she's sick, but how long are you gonna hold onto my son?

I'm holding back since she's sick,
but don't you think it's unreasonable?

I'll go.

Yoon-Soo.

Hello?

This is Yoon-Soo Kim.

I came, but I don't see
why we should meet this often.

Yes, I know. But it's your fault.

Please refrain from seeing him.
We're dating seriously.

Miss Kim. How old are you?

Why do you ask?

You don't look that young,
but you seem so naive.

- Ms. Lee.
- Miss Kim.

Tae-Il is a divorcee with a child.

That means I can see him
when necessary even if you're his wife.

Because we're the parents of our child.

You don't like us meeting?

But guess what? We'll still have to meet often in the future as parents.

I'll go.

Mom.

What's wrong?

- Let's go to the room.
- Okay.

Get up.

Stay. I'll take it.

Hello?

Ki?

Yeah? Really?

Ok. I'll be there.

Honey, we found a donor.

Really?

Really?

Yeah. Get ready.

- Mom!
- Honey.

Pull yourself together. Are you ok?

Is it true?

Yeah. We finished the general donor's health checkup and it's finalized.

Congrats.

It's only the beginning.

We'll administer stronger chemo...

...and after the transplant, you'll start
a long 30 day struggle in a clean room.

There are many variables and
difficulties in the engraftment.

But I have faith in you.
