Ha-ri.

Let's…

get married.

Let's get married.

Ha-ri.

Ha-ri?

You don't have to give me an answer right now.

Take your time to think it over--

No, that's not-- No… I'm just flustered, that's all.

Well… No… Don't answer me now.

Let's… So…

Let's think about the good times we've shared

and imagine our beautiful future. Okay?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

You mean…

No. I'm sorry I hesitated.

I think I…

I was just too happy

that I got nervous.

Even if we love each other immensely today,

we may break up painfully tomorrow.

It's not that I don't trust you.

It's because of the heartache that we might have to go through.

Stupid, right?

I may worry too much

and miss all the happy moments.

Okay.

Let's get married.

Give me your hand.

Your hand.

Let's…

be

happy.

Let's be happy.

Girls, send in your drafts quickly.

Let's go home early today.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Hyo-ju. -Yes?

This article on how to deal with fake crying.

Do babies only fake cry?

Sorry?

It's how babies who can't speak express themselves.

They fake cry when they want something,

or if they want attention from their parents.

I wrote all that down in there.

Yes, but they cry for real at times, too.

Add how to distinguish them.

Other than that,

it's good.

-Oh, my gosh. -You scared me.

Seriously.

Ms. Jang. That ring.

Were you proposed to?

For real? Let me see.

Oh, my gosh. What is that?

This tiny, pretty thing

is kind of heavy.

Can you type with something so heavy on your hand?

Just know that we gave Mr. Han some guidance.

You may have received a proposal that you may have wanted to forget.

I know. Thanks, guys.

Now finish your articles. Let's go home.

Congratulations.

We'll practice our special song.

I'll bow out.

I can just give you a gift, right?

You can't bow out.

-We're a trio. A trio. -Who cares?

-Shut up. Just go work. -Please.

You have to do it.

Come on.

MY MOM OK-RAN

I'll find a caretaker.

Come home now, okay?

Okay.

I got it. Don't worry too much about it.

Do you really want to do that?

I hate the fact that you're nursing Dad while he's sick.

Resent him and hate him, and don't talk to him ever again. Okay?

I got it. Stop it already.

What if you get sick?

Please stop and come home, okay?

Gosh.

Is your mother still nursing your father?

She won't listen to her daughter.

I have drafts piled up, so I need to go. Sorry.

HAEWON HOSPITAL

You haven't had dinner, have you?

You didn't have to do that.

Thank you very much.

My pleasure. Please, there's no need to be so formal.

I hold etiquette and manners to be very important.

So I have a hard time speaking casually to younger people.

I'm not trying to be distant, so don't be hurt.

I won't.

How's Ha-ri?

She's very worried about you.

She must be angry.

She thinks I suffered because of her dad.

Since I came all this way, maybe I should

introduce myself to Father.

Ha-ri will flip out.

Even she won't see him. She wouldn't want you to either.

I understand.

Ha-ri's dad

left us around the time that Ha-ri graduated

from grade school.

I was afraid she'd be hurt,

so I didn't talk about him.

Is it good?

Yes.

It's okay even without Daddy, right?

Yes.

-She was afraid I'd be upset, too, -Eat this, too.

and didn't bring him up either.

That young thing must've missed him.

It must've scarred her.

Of course, it did.

That's why her dream was to be a mom and have an ordinary family.

What kind of a kid dreams about something like that?

I came to see Ha-ri's mother.

You should go up.

Hey.

I'm asking because I'm sincerely concerned.

Don't take it the wrong way.

Is it

even possible for you to have a baby?

People to whom a baby is a miracle

place their hope on even one percent chance.

It will be possible.

I sincerely hope

you get what you hope for.

Thank you.

Thanks, Ok-ran.

I'm not doing this because I like you.

Hey, Jae-yeong.

Auntie.

How have you been?

I'm Jae-yeong.

Do you remember me?

Yes.

It's okay.

My gosh.

-It's been so long. -Yes.

Hey. You've gotten old, too.

Of course. I'll be turning 40 soon.

Did the surgery go well?

That's what they say.

That's good.

Auntie. I'll stay here tonight. Go home.

Why would you? It's okay.

Go home and sleep.

I'm off tomorrow.

Where are you staying right now?

I'm staying at a serviced apartment.

Do-a's doing well, too, so don't worry.

And I need to come by soon to pick up Do-a's things.

Who's watching Do-a now?

Her mom is watching her for a bit.

Auntie.

Be careful of your blood pressure.

Go home.

Here.

Okay.

Take good care of him.

I will.

-Thank you, Jae-yeong. -Come on.

-Good night. -Thanks.

Good night.

Have you and Ha-ri

been close all this time?

Of course.

You haven't seen her since she was in grade school, right?

Sure.

She waited a really long time for you

after our grade school graduation.

She thought you'd bring her flowers.

Flowers?

What?

Did I not go to her graduation?

When she was in middle school, she led the community service club.

She complained all the time that it was a pain,

but she was happy to be on an executive board,

and she cleaned the school on her own.

Our friend Gi-un once broke his arm.

She carried his bag for him every day

and received a good deed award.

Gosh.

She did?

Sir.

Ha-ri

grew up to be a kind and good person.

What is your relationship with her?

Nothing special.

We're just friends

that are like siblings.

We're like friends and like siblings.

We watched each other

date other people and fall madly in love.

Why are you sitting out on the streets, wasted?

The ground is cold.

Jae-yeong. I got rejected again.

Did you go on another blind date already?

Why do I keep getting rejected?

I feel like there isn't a single guy in the world who likes me.

I like you.

How annoying.

Do you think that's consoling?

I don't get it. Why don't you like me?

It's not like I don't like you.

But you're not a guy.

If you and I go out and end up breaking up,

I'll be losing a family member.

I don't want to lose a family member again.

How unusual.

How could a guy and girl spend so much time together

and not end up falling for each other?

Because we shouldn't.

If one of us admitted our feelings to the other and was rejected…

What guy could just be friends with a woman

he was in love with?

It doesn't feel like home.

Want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?

No. Wait. I won't do anything.

I'm not a pig. I wouldn't try anything on my girlfriend

when she's so tired and depressed.

It's okay to act a little bit like a pig.

Do you want to eat something?

Do you mean it?

So how much?

Hey.

She looks just like her mother when she was young.

Do you cook well?

I made wicked instant noodles.

So you can only make instant noodles.

I cook well, so it's okay.

I can't clean either.

We can buy a good vacuum cleaner.

Ta-da.

Looks good, right?

Looks good.

I'll scoop it out for you.

Okay.

A little?

Earlier,

I went to see your mother.

Did you go to the hospital?

Yes.

I couldn't see your father.

It would be

kind of weird if I introduced myself to your father, right?

I was never ashamed of not having a dad,

but I don't want you to see him.

Well…

Me, too.

I wasn't ashamed of my father,

but I didn't want to live like him.

He lived his whole life for his family.

He worked hard and was a great head of the family.

But he didn't have a life of his own.

After he passed away,

I threw away his clothes and went through his things,

and I filled two trash bags.

And…

one box of keepsakes.

He was an aloof head of the family

who worked all the time.

But 70 years of a man's life

were summed up in two trash bags

and one box of keepsakes.

I mean…

I'm sure it was because of us,

but why did he live like that?

He didn't have to.

It's frustrating.

My mom never talked about my dad because she was afraid

I'd think badly of him.

But I overheard her talking with my aunt.

About the day my mom went to see him.

Why did you come all the way here?

I need money for expenses.

I have no money.

Do you want to starve your child?

You should at least pay for her schooling!

Fine.

Wait here.

I remember that day my mom was hurt and sad

more than the day my dad left.

Darn it. It's not my day.

Okay. Beware of the red ribbons.

Why is it so hot?

Aren't you Tae-seop's wife?

Girly, you should wait inside.

I'll make you a nice cup of coffee.

What the hell?

Whatever.

Look at all this smoke.

Stop smoking so much. How can you even see?

Hey. Your wife is waiting outside.

Stop playing and go out.

Okay. What are you waiting for? Deal.

Did you win?

Here. This is all I have.

Take it. That's really all I have.

I need money for her tuition.

I'd give it to you if I had more.

I'm dying here, too.

You ask for money whenever you see me.

I left home because you were suffocating.

But you come all the way here, and…

Damn it.

Here. Take it and go.

She waited all day long and got 78,000 won.

She said she felt utterly degraded.

She wanted to throw the money in his face and say she wasn't there to beg,

but because

with that money, she wouldn't have to worry about starving for three months,

so she took it.

She said she'd start shaking whenever she thought about that day,

which motivated her to work hard.

My poor mom.

That's why I just can't forgive him.

I really didn't want to talk about this.

It's all soggy now.

Your mother

is very worried about you.

That you

were hurt because of your father.

Now,

don't dream of an ordinary family

because of your father.

Instead, think about me and about becoming happy

with me.

If you can't forgive your father,

don't.

But

at least meet him.

If you do,

your hatred toward him may feel insignificant.

Can we talk about something else?

Something that'll cheer me up?

Should we?

Come here.

You look so pretty right now

that I need to do something naughty.

-Hot! That's hot! -Oh, no.

Oh, no. Here.

-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, no.

Go to the bathroom and wash up.

I'll look for something you can wear.

-It's so hot. -Oh, my gosh.

It's so hot.

Put this on. Should you change your underwear, too?

Mom, we were just having noodles.

I know that, too. "Do you want some instant noodles?"

Mom, that's not what I mean! Mom!

Were you standing like that?

I-sang left.

Okay.

We didn't do anything.

If you weren't going to do anything, why did you have him come in?

Hey.

If you say that, I won't be able to bring him over anymore.

I-sang asked me to marry him.

That's great.

Is that all?

Mom, I'm getting married.

You talked about getting married so many times already.

I feel like you already got married.

Should I dance for joy?

What the heck is this?

You can't even be happy about something happy because you're nursing Dad.

This is why I don't want you seeing him.

See? He showed up and is making you suffer again.

Why do you keep making me out to be some pathetic woman?

I'm sure all daughters feel sorry for their moms.

But I don't want mine

to think I've led a sad life because my husband left me.

If you absorb my scars,

how could I live with myself after emotionally burdening you?

I'm fine when I think about those days.

Why do you hate your dad for it and struggle because of it?

Are you really seeing Dad because it doesn't bother you at all?

After being sad for all those years?

Are you really okay?

I'm doing this so I never have to see him again.

Your dad will be discharged tomorrow.

You and I will never see him again,

so don't be upset for no reason.

Shake it off.

Oh, no.

Did you cut your finger?

It's okay.

Wait a second.

Did you teleport?

Give me your finger.

I see. So this is what you meant.

Misunderstanding kindness.

People can get the wrong idea if you're nice to them.

I should be careful.

So… Well…

There are people who misunderstand kindness for something more.

Like me.

Anyway, you should be nice only to me since I know you well.

Okay?

Since you know I don't like you,

you won't misunderstand.

Exactly.

I won't misunderstand anymore,

so be nice only to me.

Okay.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Ms. Jang.

May I go home

since we met the deadline?

Go ahead.

Mr. Kim wants someone to go to the Bebe Boom shop's grand opening

this weekend.

He wants support in trying to get an ad.

You'd be going alone with Eu-tteum. Any takers?

I'll go.

You? What's gotten into you?

I'm the only one who can go anyway.

Have a good night.

Bye.

-Good night. -Bye.

She is so transparent.

Aren't you leaving?

Go ahead.

Bye.

I made bone soup.

Make sure to eat regularly.

You didn't have to.

Don't get sick ever again.

Don't waste your money.

Start saving up now and live in a nursing home later.

Don't ask Ha-ri for money.

Don't be a burden on her.

Be healthy until the day you die,

and die quietly.

That's why I nursed you personally.

Of all the--

I was afraid my baby would worry,

and that it would hinder her work.

If my surgery had gone badly,

I would've died without seeing Ha-ri again.

I was terrified, but I still didn't tell her.

Don't be a burden on your child, and die alone.

You haven't done a single thing for your child.

At least do that much for her.

You don't even know why you're living a sad life.

Why do you live like that?

Tae-seop.

Let's never meet again.

MOM'S NOODLE SOUP

Thanks for coming to see me.

Don't come back ever again.

Don't bother Mom.

I came to tell you that.

I came to see you one last time

in case I died in surgery.

I didn't have enough to pay for surgery.

That's why I borrowed a little money.

I was going to pay it back once insurance reimbursed me.

I won't bother her,

so don't worry.

Were you okay…

without us?

I was lonely.

Bye.

Okay. Bye.

Ha-ri.

I heard you were upset because of this.

What?

Do you not like it?

I'll go now. Bye.

MESSAGES

YOUR RESULTS CAME IN. PLEASE COME IN JUNE 25 TO DISCUSS.

We don't have time.

-Hurry. -Hello.

Yes, hello.

Oh, my gosh. You must be the owner.

Hello. I'm Choi Hyo-ju. I'm a journalist at The Baby.

It's nice to meet you, sir.

Yes, hello.

I took a look at the proposal.

But I don't understand what you meant by you'll make a song and dance

with our products.

We will make your core product, these organic tights,

more popular

by creating a hot video clip.

Watch.

Stretch this way, stretch that way, that way again, it's nice and stretchy

Ms. Choi? You can write a printed advertorial as well, correct?

"Rising to the top as the best tights.

Tights loved by moms and babies alike."

We will trigger the moms' desire to buy with our expert writing skills.

That's right.

I see.

I got the ad thanks to you.

Thank you.

You're grateful, right?

If you want to thank me, take me to the beach.

The beach?

If you want to thank someone, you go to the beach.

Let's go.

If I want to thank…

Aren't you glad you came?

It's nice.

You were right. The beach is the best way to thank someone.

Do you plan to keep working at our company?

Do you have a vision,

some great ambition, or aspiration?

My dream was to become a saxophonist.

But that's for the one percent who has enough talent and passion.

An average person like I am should do it only for fun.

It isn't the easiest to get a job with that major,

so my dream was to work at a company.

I only learned what advertisement was really about after joining,

but yes, it was a good fit for me.

I'm sure you'll do great.

You are pure but smart at the same time.

Me?

I've never heard anyone say that.

What? Why not?

You really sparkle, Eu-tteum.

Thank you.

Then…

What do you think about me?

You?

Well… You are…

Well, you have a peculiar charm.

What? I'm not that unusual.

I'm peculiar?

Then…

Shall I be peculiar and run on the beach?

Where are you going?

Be careful. The tide comes in quickly.

It's okay.

-We got wet. -This is the latest Ballentiara.

I'll buy you a new pair next time.

Liar.

Dang it.

Careful.

Sorry about this.

It's filled with sand.

I'll buy you nicer ones next time.

Ms. Choi.

Do you

like me?

You know,

I want to date someone I like

rather than someone who likes me,

and fall in love for real.

I shouldn't say

I'm sorry, right?

No.

Don't do it.

The lump got slightly bigger.

You have a few months until the examination, but…

Will you delay the surgery?

Gosh.

It doesn't look good.

It isn't aspermia,

so it isn't impossible to get pregnant.

But

because your fiancée is infertile as well…

You need a minimum number

if you want to do artificial insemination or IVF.

But the treatment was ineffective this time.

Next time, why don't we try some other treatments as well?

What are you doing?

Are you after the cover photos? Why you…

I don't know…

what I should do.

About what?

I felt lost and didn't know what it meant…

to become a dad,

but as I shared Ha-ri's dream,

I must've gotten my hopes up without realizing it.

I may…

never be a dad.

What do you mean?

Is it hard?

Is it impossible?

This must be

how Ha-ri felt.

-Hey. -Auntie.

I was going to quietly pick up Do-a's things and go.

Go to sleep.

Stop that. This is your home.

Stay the night.

That's silly.

Anyway, I'll say bye on my way out,

so rest. Go back inside.

HA-RI

I-SANG

Hello? Ha-ri?

I-SANG

Ha-ri, are you in there?

Ha-ri?

Hello?

Ha-ri.

Hello?

Hey, Ha-ri!

Are you okay?

Open up.

Open up! Ha-ri!

What's wrong?

What's wrong? What is it?

I think something's wrong with Ha-ri!

Ha-ri!

Hey! Open up!

Hey, Ha-ri. Ha-ri.

What's wrong? Get up.

-Oh, gosh. What's wrong with her? -What's wrong?

Oh my gosh. Hey. What's wrong with her?

Oh, no. What's wrong?

Let's take her to the ER.

-Okay. Get up. -Can you get up?

Let's go to the hospital.

Oh, my gosh. What do we do?

What's wrong?

I-SANG

Is Ha-ri okay?

They examined her and gave her a painkiller. She's asleep now.

It was probably because of the endometriosis. Go in.

I'll get going now.

Okay.

Thanks, Jae-yeong.

-Sure. Go in. -Bye.

I-sang.

"If it were me, Ha-ri wouldn't be in so much pain."

Please make me stop having thoughts like that.

Please.

Sleep some more. They said to finish the bag of IV.

Gosh.

You should lie back down.

Hi.

My back hurts.

It's not like I'm dying.

Your excessive worrying is embarrassing me.

-It's nothing serious. -Gosh.

Ms. Jang?

-It doesn't hurt anymore, right? -No.

The lump due to the endometriosis got slightly larger than last time.

I don't think you should leave it like this.

Why don't you get surgery?

But if I get surgery,

it'll be harder to get pregnant.

We'd have to wait and see,

but ovarian function may decrease.

As I told you previously,

even if it weren't for the endometriosis,

your fertility is quite low already.

So if you get treated for a year after surgery,

it may be even harder than it is now.

It's not like she can never have a baby, is it?

It would be best to get fertility treatment now,

but it isn't impossible.

Okay.

I know

I made you have hope,

but if you're putting off the surgery because of me,

don't.

You remember what I said, right?

That if my results are bad,

you should think only about yourself.

What's wrong?

My results are bad.

Even if I get treated

for another three months and three months after that,

there is…

no guarantee.

If you are…

enduring the pain

because you're waiting for me, don't.

It was

because it would get harder for me.

It isn't because of you.

She said

it's possible even if you get the surgery.

Even if we have to find a way then,

you should

get the surgery now.

Is that okay?

It's hard for you, too.

I'm okay with it.

What?

Because Ha-ri is sick?

Do you want to push back the wedding?

No, that's not it. I don't want that at all.

Ha-ri

will try to put off the surgery

because of me although she's in pain.

That's why I was hoping

you would persuade her.

Because of you?

Yes.

It's hard…

for me

to have kids right now.

I am…

also infertile.

The doctor said I'd be fine

if I get treated,

but

my recent test results

weren't very good.

Here. Force yourself to eat even if you don't want to.

Eat and get your energy back.

Get the surgery.

My heart broke for you for having to grow up

without a dad.

When you said ridiculous things like you'll have a kid by yourself,

I wondered how you'd endure watching your child being hurt.

I couldn't stop you.

Now that you found a nice guy,

I was less worried about that.

You should do what you can,

and move on if you can't do something.

Mom.

When someone tells me to get surgery,

I feel like they're telling me to give up on having kids.

I thought about it and I told myself I can live without children.

But how could I move on instantly just because it won't happen?

If it doesn't,

I can never live as a mom.

I was

too busy trying to survive.

I didn't even know how exhausted I was.

Back then, I cursed my fate

because nothing went my way and I had only heartbreaks.

Looking back, though, I wasn't miserable after all.

I just worked hard each and every day.

It may seem devastating now,

but this won't make your life miserable.

I have faith that you won't live like that.

-Let's eat. -Okay.

Here.

SURGICAL WARD

Do you feel okay?

Yes. Much better than expected.

You don't have to act--

Let's go. I'll be late.

Let's get something yummy for dinner.

There are many places that we haven't tried.

-Hi. You came in. -Hi.

Ms. Jang. Are you okay?

Yes.

You should've rested more.

I came in because I felt fine.

We have a lot to do, right? What should I do first?

Don't bury yourself in your work because you're down.

It's not like you can focus on the work.

Then why don't you sort through the suggested books?

Okay.

Yes. Much better than expected.

I have the contact sheet.

I'll leave it downstairs. Pick it up later.

Of course, they came out nicely. I did it, remember?

I'll bring it.

It's not urgent.

MY MOM

MY MOM

MOM

Did Ha-ri agree to that?

No.

You know how she is.

Even if she's hurting, the person she loves comes first.

Please make sure she doesn't wait.

Ha-ri

should meet a man who can give her everything

and be happy.
