Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok?

"Goodbye, world."

"Goodbye, our town."

"Mom. Dad."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye to clocks ticking."

"And Mama's sunflowers."

"And delicious food..."

"And coffee."

"And freshly ironed dresses..."

"and hot baths."

"And sleeping and waking up."

"Oh, Earth, you're too wonderful..."

"for anybody to realize you."

"Goodbye."

[Final Episode]

I was planning...

to bring Hye Na back there today, but...

this morning...

my mother passed away.

So it'll be difficult for me to bring Hye Na there today.

I'll bring her back the day after tomorrow.

Thank you for understanding.

I'll bring her back...

the day after tomorrow.

Grandma.

Thank you for everything.

I'll give you your luck back.

Because of the luck that you gave me...

I got here safely.

I think that...

you'll be needing more luck than me now.

Goodbye, Grandma.

[Kang Young Shin]

What are those?

Letters. Big Sis Yoon Bok said that we should write letters to Grandma.

Grandma won't be able to read letters anymore

but Big Sis Yoon Bok said that if we write letters

we won't feel as sad, and we won't miss her as much.

Wait, Yoon Bok is Big Sis now?

Mom told us that we have to call her Big Sis now.

- That's right. - That's right.

Please select an option.

Please select your destination.

Please select a time.

[Seoul to Mooryung]

Mom.

I have to go back now, right?

We can't run away anymore, huh?

I think we can run away...

for three more hours.

Do you think she'll recognize us?

I don't know.

Let's not be too disappointed if she doesn't.

It's okay if she doesn't recognize us.

We can just become close again.

Sister Clara!

Who are you?

Yo-ri-sa. (A cook)

Sa-gwa. (Apple)

Gwa-hak-ja. (Scientist)

Ja-jeon-guh. (Bicycle)

I heard that she ran an orphanage.

People occasionally come to see her like this.

Really?

Sa-rang? (Love)

But she doesn't recognize anyone.

She doesn't even recognize her niece and nephew.

Do her niece and nephew come by often?

They came by once.

They said that they were unlucky

because the orphanage caught fire.

They came to get her to sign some documents, so they could sell it.

I see.

Sister Clara.

My mother passed away.

Goodness, how upsetting.

And...

I found another mom.

The one who gave birth to me.

Nu-roong-ji. (Scorched rice)

Do you remember, Sister Clara?

Sister Clara.

I'm Soo Jin.

Nam Soo Jin.

Dan-pat-bbang. (Sweet red bean bun)

That's right.

You're the one who raised me.

You said that you'd remember

that I became a mother.

Yo-gu-roo-teu. (Yogurt)

Teu-rae-in. (Train)

In-jeol-mi. (Rice cakes)

Mi...

mi...

Mi-an? (I'm sorry)

An-nyung. (Hello or goodbye)

Nyung...

Nyung...

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Grandma.

Goodbye, Sister Clara.

The people who were briefly my family.

Take care.

Goodbye, Mom.

My mom, who I treasure most, and am most thankful for.

And Yoon Bok.

Goodbye to you too...

Yoon Bok.

I know that the odds are small...

very, very small...

but I wanted to know if we could possibly go back

to the way we were.

I was worried that you'd forget about me.

That will never happen.

I was worried that I'd forget about you, Mom.

What do we do if we pass each other on the street

but don't recognize each other?

We'll recognize each other, no matter what happens.

I'll definitely find you.

What's this?

- It's a notebook about everything. - [Mom Soo Jin/My Mom]

Not just about things that I like

or things that I hate.

[Granny Finger]

[Granny Young Shin]

[My mom when she was 38 years old]

[My mom when she was 28 years old]

Since you don't have the dolls.

You drew them so well.

[My mom when she was 28 years old]

[My mom when she was 18 years old]

[My mom when she was eight years old]

[Hye Na, when she was one to four years old]

[Yoon Bok, when she was eight to nine years old]

I'm slowly growing bit by bit, too.

Indeed you are.

[Hye Na + Hye Na + Yoon Bok + Hye Na]

I'll give this notebook to you, Mom.

Because I...

have the real dolls that represent you, Mom.

If you hold on to that

you won't forget about me, right?

Yoon Bok.

Do you know how migratory birds reach their destinations without getting lost?

Birds use constellations as their guide...

They use the Big Dipper, which points to the North Star

as well as the Little Dipper

and Cassiopeia.

The birds get help from the stars and head to the North Pole.

Birds learn that from their mothers when they are babies.

The stars that they saw when they were babies

become the birds' guide.

I'm so happy to have met you.

I'm so happy to have become your mother.

Thanks to you, I became a mother

and I met my mom...

and became a daughter once more.

We'll definitely meet again.

If we walk straight, toward the stars...

the time that you and I spent together...

will become our guide...

Oh yeah, Mom!

I love you!

I love you...

my Yoon Bok.

[House of Love Corporation]

[Two Years Later]

It's time to eat!

Thank you, Teacher.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Is the food good, you guys?

It's delicious, Teacher!

The food that you make for us is the most delicious!

Really?

Here.

Eat up, and grow a lot, okay?

You know that I love kids who eat well, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

All right, then.

Oh, you're here?

I'm hungry.

A cutlassfish casserole with one mackerel in it, right?

Yes.

Here, drink this while you wait.

I'll quickly whip it up for you!

["Child Abuse and Its Aftermath"]

Wow.

You've become a writer now, huh?

More of a journalist than a writer.

I'm not much of a reader, so I haven't read many books.

But I definitely need to read this.

Flip to the first page.

Sure.

To my father, Mr. Park Jae Beom.

From Kang Hyun Jin.

Oh, wow. Thanks to you, I've become a journalist's father.

Mackerel won't cut it for an occasion like this.

Oh, mero! Yes, mero, Ms. Writer.

How about some mero sea bass?

It's fine.

I like mackerel.

Here.

Have this while you wait.

Shall we have a drink together, since it's such a happy day?

Yes!

Hyun Jin.

Good work.

Hey, you should've gotten your hair and makeup done before taking this!

You look like a sickly child.

I was busy!

I had to write the book, and volunteer.

Freelancers are busy too, you know.

You need to hurry and find a steady path, too.

Don't you have any regrets about not being able to work at newspapers anymore?

I think this lifestyle kind of suits me.

I can take it easy, and not rush as much as before.

You know that I like to take my time with things.

[Ms. Kim Yoon Bok (Alias) Missing Persons Case, after...]

Is Yoon Bok doing okay?

They say that she's doing well, but...

But the mother of that group home is so, so strict

that I barely managed to get an interview with her.

I was so curious

that I went to her school and watched her from afar, and...

How was she?

Didn't Yoon Bok always hop around when she was at our place?

Seeing her walking alone now and dragging her feet

made me feel really uneasy.

And she looks pretty down, too.

Maybe something upsetting happened to her?

We probably shouldn't tell Big Sis, right?

Those bimaculate ducks that you see over there

fly a distance of 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers

all the way from Siberia to Korea

without ever stopping.

Isn't that impressive?

- Yes! - Yes!

Take a closer look.

It's spring now.

Are you doing well?

The plans that I mentioned to you earlier are going well, as planned.

The director of this research center loves your paper so much

and we've received glowing recommendations

for you from New Zealand and Canada.

If you send in your application as soon as your probation is over

I'll send you an invite to join us here

approved by the director himself.

Don't you dare turn this down, Kang Soo Jin!

This is your final opportunity.

I won't ever be able to give you another chance like this again.

[Heonjoo Beauty Salon]

Has it already been a month?

It feels like it's already been at least 30 seconds.

Hair grows faster in the spring.

I really did come here because my hair got too unruly.

The country's best hairdresser is here, so what else can I do?

I'm glad you're here.

Today, I...

have some news that I want to be congratulated for.

I'm...

going to Iceland.

Oh my!

My senior who's there convinced the director.

He got the articles and my court record translated...

and he really liked my paper.

And my probation is over now

so he's going to vouch for my good character.

That's great.

You've really wanted to go, right?

For a very, very long time.

To a place that was as far away, as cold...

and as far north as that.

I have no idea why I want to go so much.

Congratulations.

I feel that this will be quite a meaningful journey for you...

Ms. Soo Jin.

That means a lot to me.

Thank you.

I'm fully aware of the fact that this opportunity wasn't given to me

just because of my achievements.

When I first saw you...

I felt as if I'd seen a rare bird suddenly fly in front of me.

I couldn't get close to it...

or extend my hand to touch it.

I could only watch it from afar, with bated breath.

And then, that bird spread its wings once more

and flew far, far away, right before my eyes.

That moment...

made me so disappointed...

and yet, it was still such a pleasure to see.

You know what I mean, right?

I think it's okay for you to be happy now.

Don't leave anything behind, just go.

Do your best...

and be happy.

Happy?

I don't know.

I feel like that's such a fleeting thing.

That fleeting thing makes other longer moments much more bearable, but...

But there is something else...

that is more important to me than happiness.

Are you talking about Yoon Bok?

Isn't it strange?

All of the painful moments

that I shared with that child...

are so much more precious to me...

than the moments in my life...

when I was completely happy.

I was worried...

that you wouldn't be able to leave.

Because mothers can't leave their children.

Because, even if you can't hold them...

your heart is always focused on them.

Soo Jin.

Do what your heart tells you to.

I need to see her...

just once, with my own eyes.

And see if she's doing well.

I need to see her just once.

I don't think I'll be able to leave like this.

Hye Na!

Big Sis!

Did you have fun?

You know you're sleeping at your new parents' house today, right?

Hye Na.

Have you been well?

Oh, goodness.

All right, give me your bag.

There we go.

All right, let's go.

Thank you. Let's go!

Get in!

Excuse me.

Are you...

Ms. Kang Soo Jin, by any chance?

What is the meaning of this?

How could you come to her school?

I apologize.

I wanted to see her just once.

Why? What right do you have to see her?

I wanted to know...

if she was doing okay.

She's doing quite well.

My Hye Na is doing quite well.

I'm sorry, but...

who were those people from earlier?

Hye Na is going to be adopted.

Some really great people

have said that they want to become Hye Na's parents.

Why...

why are you sending Hye Na off to be adopted?

There are six children in our group home.

Every child who comes to my group home has a sad story.

But all of the kids are child-like.

They smile, they play...

they get into trouble, and they get scolded.

But Hye Na is just too good.

She's quiet, and doesn't cause any trouble.

She does everything on her own.

She even cuts her little siblings' fingernails for them.

So every time I look at her, I get so upset.

I wanted to send her to a home where she would receive lots of love.

It was really difficult for me to find new parents for her.

Those people are a lot more prepared to raise a kid than you are.

So don't worry anymore...

and mind your own business now, will you?

If you come here again, I'll report you to the cops.

Hye Na.

Try this.

I heard that you like pizza.

The pizza here is delicious.

It's authentic Neapolitan pizza.

Try it.

Smile, Mom!

One day...

we'll be able to meet again.

Just like how Granny Finger and I met again.

Wait, how many different guardians did Yoon Bok have?

Her grandma took care of her when she was young, then her mom.

Then, you had her for a couple of months.

Then, she was at a facility for a couple of months.

And now, I thought she had finally found stability in a group home

but she's getting adopted?

Isn't that too much?

I don't know if a sensitive child like Yoon Bok...

can handle having so many different moms.

What if I adopt her?

What if I adopt her, and you raise her?

I don't think that it's that simple.

What would your husband say?

I don't think that's right, Yi Jin.

To be honest, I...

thought about it for a long time...

and looked into whether or not I could adopt her.

You?

You're not even allowed to approach her

so is that possible?

My probation is over now.

So it may not be impossible.

I'd need to adopt her through a general adoption process...

but the most important thing is the consent of her previous guardian.

So, in Yoon Bok's case

since her mother no longer has custody of her...

I'd need the consent of her group home mother.

What's the other option?

Having a steady job.

Financial power, and social standing.

And motives for adoption.

I think we can do that for you.

What about your criminal history?

That's...

definitely going to be a problem.

But that...

was a situation in which I kidnapped Yoon Bok

so I may or may not be able to explain that in court.

Let's give it a shot.

I'll try writing an article.

Even if the courts don't accept it

I'll write a piece explaining your situation and put it online.

You gave up everything for Yoon Bok's sake.

If anyone is to adopt Yoon Bok

it's only right that it be you.

Did you have a good time?

- Oh! - Goodness!

- Oh no! - Are you okay?

Goodness!

Does Hye Na get carsick?

No, this is strange.

She's never gotten carsick before.

Goodness.

Hye Na.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you scared?

Yes.

Even so...

you're going to do it, right?

For the past two years...

I asked myself countless times...

if I could go back to that moment...

and see Yoon Bok again...

what would I do?

Would I take that child's hand and run away again?

I've never said no, not even once.

But...

this time...

I really want to do well.

I really want to succeed this time.

What should I do?

I feel like...

there is definitely a way...

Yoon Bok and I can truly become mother and daughter.

So, what could it be?

It's a notebook about everything.

It's not about things that I like...

or about things that I hate.

Goodbye, Mom.

My mom, who I treasure most, and am most thankful for.

[Conditions for adopting a child]

Hye Na!

Were you outside?

If you were hungry, you should have told me!

Children who were rejected by their parents

sometimes develop anorexia.

They have to eat if they want to survive

but the fact that she won't eat, and keeps vomiting

means that she's putting her own life at risk

to reject her parents.

Child.

What do we do with you?

So, what are the chances that I'll be able to get custody of her?

Statistically speaking, your chances aren't good.

The biggest problem is your criminal history.

We'll have to place an emphasis on your close ties with Hye Na

and explain the situation.

But...

I took a look at your documents

and your late mother was in a similar situation when trying to adopt you.

She was divorced, and had a DUI.

She was even declared mentally unstable.

She had a lot of factors working against her.

But it was because she had confidence

that she was able to get a second trial

and she was eventually allowed to adopt you.

When it right comes down to it

the court's decision is still made by a person.

And because you already are Hye Na's mother, Ms. Soo Jin

I believe that we will be able to persuade them.

Would you like to give it a try?

A letter of apology. A petition.

And I'll get a new job, too.

I'll do everything that I can.

Please help me.

I'm sorry, but I'd like it if we could speed up Hye Na's adoption.

Did something happen?

I don't think I'm fulfilling all of my duties to Hye Na as a mother.

Do you think you can take her earlier

and take care of her, even before the adoption is finalized?

Catch me if you can!

Wait for me, Big Brother!

I warned you, didn't I?

That I'd call the police if you came again.

Ma'am.

I'd like to...

adopt Hye Na.

You were found guilty at your trial

and yet I see that you still haven't reflected on your actions.

Ms. Kang Soo Jin!

You have no right to be a mother!

I don't want to know what you've experienced while living your life

but parents must protect their children from their own problems!

Hye Na was having such a hard time living her life!

So why should she have to go through more hardship because of you?

I'm sorry.

Hurry and get up.

The children are watching.

The thing that I think is most important when raising kids...

is safety first, safety second

and safety third.

If the child isn't safe

happiness and success... none of that matters.

You're right.

I'm reflecting on my own actions, too.

I'll make sure nothing like that happens again, and I'll be careful.

Really, really careful.

Do you think it's possible

for a kidnapper to adopt a child?

If you, her legal guardian, give me your consent...

I can request to adopt her through a normal adoption procedure.

The laws of our country are so messed up.

At any rate, you can't if I don't consent, right?

Right.

Give up.

For Hye Na's sake.

I really...

want to send Hye Na to a normal family.

But, Ma'am.

You're a mother too.

So please, consider it just this once.

Can two people, who were once mother and daughter...

be separated?

Can a person who was once a mother...

forget about her child?

If you truly are a mother, then you must forget.

For the child's sake.

Mom!

Yeah?

Has Hye Na...

ever called you "Mom"?

I was adopted, too.

It was so hard for me...

to call my mom "Mom."

The person who raised me...

the person who showed me the warmest love in the world...

it took me 30 years for me to truly be able to call her "Mom."

You love Hye Na, right?

You worry about her a lot, right?

You know very well what kind of child she is, right?

She's the kind of child

who considers me her mother

and took the train from Mooryung to Seoul by herself to see me.

I'll do a good job.

I'll do a good job, so that I can take on...

the heavy and terrifying duty of being a mother.

Please leave.

I want to give Hye Na a better mother than you, Ms. Kang Soo Jin.

Hye Na.

From now on, come over to our house every weekend.

You're not the type to get close to people easily, right?

I'm the same way.

Let's become friends slowly, okay?

Wait.

I don't think...

that I'll be able to do this.

Did something happen?

Please don't take me away.

I have a mom.

I like Hye Na.

But I think I'm making things really difficult for her.

Hye Na.

Who's your mom?

You told the person who was supposed to become your new mom

that you had a mom, right?

What's your mom's name?

Kang Soo Jin.

I see.

You like Mommy Kang Soo Jin quite a lot, I see.

But...

the person who's supposed to be your new mom is a really good person, too.

She prepared a lot so that she could become your mom.

You don't want to go?

I just...

want to stay here.

Why?

So that you can wait for your mom?

In case that Mommy Kang Soo Jin comes to get you?

["Child Abuse and Its Aftermath"]

"The case of Ms. Kim Yoon Bok"

"in which the child's name was changed to Kim Yoon Bok"

"and the two evaded capture by the police for 50 days"

"put a spotlight on the issue of child abuse"

"which occurs quite frequently in our society."

"Ms. Kang Soo Jin, the person who was tried"

"for kidnapping Ms. Kim Yoon Bok"

"was asked during her final testimony why she did not turn to the police"

"or the authorities for help."

"And to that, she replied, 'Hye Na needed immediate protection.'"

And I didn't want Hye Na

to have to explain what happened to her multiple times, to strangers.

And more than anything, I wanted...

I wanted to hold that quivering child...

for as long...

and as quickly...

as possible.

If I were to turn back time to that moment...

I think I would still take that child's hand...

and run away again.

["Child Abuse and Its Aftermath"]

I'll think about it.

Thank you.

In exchange, you mustn't fail, no matter what.

Hye Na has been waiting for you.

She never called me "Mom," not even once.

And it seems that she was always quite cautious

to make sure she never called me "Mom."

I think that really took a toll on me

which was why I was more eager to find her new parents.

I apologize.

Hye Na...

probably knows how you feel, too.

It's probably because she feels so sorry for you.

Please make it so that Hye Na isn't disappointed any longer.

I don't think I will be able to handle that.

Thank you.

I will do my very best...

and succeed, no matter what.

Can you keep Hye Na for three days and two nights next weekend

and then bring her back here?

Pardon?

I packed some snacks for her in case she gets carsick on the way.

Go and say hello to your grandma, too, okay?

And be sure to brush your teeth before you go to bed.

All right.

Thank you.

And be sure to put on your seat belt properly, okay?

Thank you...

Mom.

Where are we going now, Mom?

The house where Granny Finger and I live.

Has Granny Finger become your mom again?

Yeah.

That must be nice.

And I...

am trying my best right now to become Yoon Bok's mom.

Oh yeah, Mom.

There's a place that we need to visit first.

I didn't think I'd ever be able to see you again.

Be careful, or you'll get hurt!

- All right! - All right!

They're here.

Yoon Bok is here, everyone!

Oh!

Yoon Bok!

- Yoon Bok! - You're here!

Grandma!

You're here?

Wasn't it hard getting here?

- Big Sis! - Big Sis!

Have you two been doing well?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You grew a lot, Yoon Bok.

- You're in fourth grade already? - Yes.

Wow, look at that!

How pretty!

Make it bigger, Yoon Bok! Bigger!

- Here! - Wow!

Here!

It's my turn now!

She's so good at blowing bubbles.

Here we are.

- Wow! - Wow!

- Thank you for the meal! - Thank you for the meal!

It's so delicious, Aunt.

I want to become a chef and make delicious food, just like you.

How can I make such delicious food?

The method is really simple.

You have to eat a lot of delicious things.

You need to put on a bit more weight.

Eat up, okay?

But, Yoon Bok.

Didn't you say before that you wanted to be a hairdresser?

Not a ornithologist?

You said you wanted to study birds, like me.

Well...

I want to be all of those things.

What do you two want to be when you grow up?

I want to be a pianist like Mommy.

I want to be...

a dad.

Just a dad.

Yeah, that'd be nice, too.

But I...

think that I've already become what I wanted to become.

And what's that?

Yoon Bok.

A child who eats things like omurice and fried pork chops every day.

Together, with her family.

Big Sis.

Shall we get started?

Let's do it.

When you were eight years old, Ms. Kang Soo Jin

you were adopted and raised by actress Cha Young Shin, correct?

Yes.

Did you kidnap the child because she reminded you of how you were abused?

Please say something!

There are people out there

who think that one must give birth to a child to be her mother.

- Here? - Here.

But a woman becomes a mother...

when she gives her all

to a smaller creature.

That's why...

there are many different reasons.

But the fact that Hye Na's mother could not raise a child...

and the fact that I needed Hye Na...

and the fact that Hye Na needed me...

were the reasons why I so readily accepted

having such a special relationship with her.

For my entire life...

I thought that I was my mom's biological mother.

But...

my mom didn't give birth to me.

Instead, she chose me.

Soo Jin!

The baby is here!

And to my mother, that's what it meant to be her biological daughter.

And that fact didn't make me feel any less her daughter..

than if I had been her biological daughter.

I think that she raised my Soo Jin far better than I did.

I was not able to raise Soo Jin

but if Soo Jin gets a child

I really want to be with her throughout the experience of raising her.

I think spending that kind of time with those two

will heal the scars that I still have from my previous years.

Hye Na is a child who has a lot of love in her.

Look at this.

Hye Na wrote this.

She said that she already had a mother.

And by that, she meant her mom, Kang Soo Jin.

No parent can win against their children.

I had no choice but to concede.

I believe that a child can choose her parent, too.

Not too long ago, Hye Na buried a secret box.

This is a doll that represents my mom.

She buried the hope that her mom, Soo Jin, might come for her

in the dark ground.

And I buried this necklace, too.

But not too long ago

when Ms. Kang Soo Jin filed a request to adopt Hye Na in a family court

Hye Na unearthed the box.

Goodbye.

Why do you want to become Mommy Soo Jin's child?

Um...

just because she's my mom.

My mom, who I treasure the most and am most thankful for.

I'm just...

the same as other moms.

Just as mothers give birth to children...

something similar to that occurred in my heart.

I can give up my own life for Hye Na's sake...

and I feel that we are connected.

And also...

I feel as if moms are born, too

just as children are born.

[One Month Later]

Mom!

Are you really my mom now?

Yes, my daughter!

Mom.

Did you pity me when you first saw me?

No.

I thought to myself, "Ah, so another child like me actually exists!"

Because I never would've done something

like writing a letter to a dead duck.

I pitied you, Mom.

Why?

You were scared of the kids.

You noticed?

When you told us that night to read that book...

"When the birds start flying toward Egypt"

"they're already in Egypt?"

I thought to myself then

that a child who had a mom like you

must be so happy to have you as a mom.

I thought the same thing.

I knew that you liked that book.

And that you really wanted to go see the birds, too.

That's why...

I thought, for the first time...

that a mother with a child like you must be so happy.

All of this feels like it was so long ago.

Back then, I had no idea what the saying meant.

"When the birds start flying toward Egypt..."

"They're already in Egypt?"

Do you know what it means now?

While I was on the run with you, Mom...

I thought that it wouldn't matter if I couldn't go to Iceland.

Because, as long as I was with you...

I felt like I was already in Iceland.

I want to write a letter.

To the Hye Na in the past.

What do you want to write?

"Hye Na."

"Don't cry."

"You can be happy."

"I'll hug you."

"I'm okay now."

Mom.

Do you want me to hug you, too?

Yeah.

Are you okay now too, Mom?

Yeah.

I'm happy now.

A long time ago...

I never once thought that I'd become a mom.

And I never knew that I'd be meeting my birth mother again.

I never thought that...

I'd ever hug my mom who raised me without feeling apologetic.

But I'm really happy now.

I guess that a person can have so many different moms.

Of course.

Even I have three moms, including Sister Clara.

Then...

Hye Na's mom is my mom too, right?

Do you think of...

Hye Na's mom a lot?

I don't think about the bad things.

Because I'm not Hye Na anymore.

But...

I hope that Hye Na's mom can be happy, too.

Because I'm happy now.

That's a relief.

That's a relief, right?

Yeah.

Because we're happy now.

[Call Me Mother]

Subtitles by DramaFever

Even if I start calling you Yoon Bok now

you can't become Yoon Bok immediately.

You'll become Yoon Bok, bit by bit.

I probably won't be able to become Yoon Bok's mom immediately, either.

But, bit by bit...

I will become her, I think.

Then, one day, you will become Yoon Bok...

and I'll become Yoon Bok's mom.

Don't you think so?

Smile, Mom.

I love you.

I love you, too.

But I...

think that I've already become what I wanted to become.

And what's that?

Yoon Bok.
