Valid Love (일리있는 사랑)

You have a phone call.

Aren't you gonna answer?

Your call cannot be completed. Please leave a message after the tone.

It's me, Jang Hee Tae.

I called because I was curious how our project's going.

I'll stop by after work.

Why can't you memorize multiplication?

I don't know.

You said you'd tell me.

I don't know the reason.

You don't know the reason?

Yes.

2 x 7 = 14.

2 x 8 = 16.

2 x 9 = 18.

3 x 1 = 3.

3 x 2 = 6.

3 x 3 = 9.

3 x 4 = 12, 3 x 5 = 15.

3 x 6 = 18, 3 x 7...

3 x 7...

Is that so hard?

You don't know 3 x 7?

2 x 1 = 2.

2 x 2 = 4.

2 x 3 = 6.

Forget it.

Stop now.

You can earn a living and get married without knowing multiplication.

These days calculators are great.

Yay!

Dude, are you that happy?

So, you don't know beyond 3 x 7?

Yes.

Wow.

They say everyone has a stumbling block.

Yours is 3 x 7.

When I was young,

if Grandfather had scolded, I would have memorized it no matter what.

But he didn't?

Yes.

He never scolded.

If he had,

I would've been a better person.

But...

did your grandfather really find you?

He said I was on the doorstep.

I was a newborn.

Grandfather didn't know who'd left me.

When did he pass away?

The year before last.

I made his coffin.

People all die eventually.

That's what my father said.

That everyone dies eventually.

So, don't cry.

That's why I cried every night.

"What happens if Mom dies, too?"

"If Mom dies, what happens to me and Yi Ri?"

"How do we eat?"

"How do we get to school?"

"We won't be able to see her if we miss her."

"What if I die because I miss her so much?"

"Then Yi Ri will be alone. What do I do?"

You said you wouldn't cry but you're crying again.

After a passing storm,

reason entered mind.

How could I suspect my wife of seven years from a few pictures?

But a thought came to mind.

They must've known each other for a long time.

They're around the same age, so they might be elementary friends.

If so, they could naturally hold hands.

Don't suspect hastily.

It might have been his intention.

Let's ask my wife outright when I see her.

Then my wife will burst out laughing.

And be amazed at the coincidence.

When I meet my wife,

I was going to ask her like that.

- What is it? - Hyung!

Hee Soo noona...

She's being wheeled into an ambulance.

Come directly to the hospital, Mom.

Okay.

Yeah.

Where are you, Father?

Hurry up and come to the hospital. Noona collapsed.

Let me use your cell phone.

Who's Jang?

Someone I know.

It's me, Mrs. Park. How is unni?

This way.

She's a 35 year old woman unconscious.

Her primary physician is at this hospital so we brought her here.

Long time no see.

Anything unusual happen?

Nothing much.

Has anything changed?

She's still unconscious.

She can't breathe on her own.

Let's intubate. Give me the blade.

No matter what happens,

it's not your fault.

I know.

In my mind.

What happened?

It was time for Mrs. Park to eat.

I went in to take her place.

Hee Soo.

Where have you been with your phone off?

You can't do this.

Don't come close.

I can't see.

I can't see.

Saturation 42%.

She might go into arrest.

Press her neck.

How is she?

Nothing bad, right?

Of course it is.

Her temperature is 104 degrees.

There were no signs?

She was normal until yesterday.

In the morning, it was 98.4 degrees.

In the afternoon, it was 99.4 degrees.

She had a mild fever but it was nowhere near 100 degrees.

What about today?

What was her temperature today?

Does it make sense that it went up to 104 in a day?

It can happen.

Her immune system has been compromised for a long time. The temperatures vary a lot lately.

I thought she was doing well since I didn't see her for awhile.

But it doesn't just pass by.

She has phlegm in her esophagus.

Her breathing is improving.

But her vitals look poor.

I suspect pneumonia.

I'll start by taking X-rays.

Drink this.

Okay.

Don't worry too much.

She had pneumonia last year but she recovered.

Of course.

My Hee Soo is really strong.

Not anyone could endure until now.

Of course, I called to put her in the Guinness Book.

But I hung up because I can't speak English.

Hurry up and learn.

The doctor complimented your quick actions earlier.

Good job.

That day...

Was it because she got rained on?

Sweetie.

We promised before.

To forgive all the harsh words.

Since it's not your fault or mine,

don't blame yourself...

or anyone else.

It'll be endless otherwise.

Family of Jang Hee Soo.

The familiar ICU scene.

What I learned from numerous visits

is that there are only two words in the ICU,

life...

...and death.

Between those two words, the patient and family...

balance on a fine line.

Ridiculously,

while my sister was on the brink of life and death,

I felt anger.

What's the use of a mother or father?

No one knew when you couldn't breathe.

You couldn't even ask to be saved.

It must have been so scary, my daughter.

Isn't it strange?

I should be used to it.

But I still get scared, Mom.

Don't be scared.

Even if something goes wrong,

I'm going to follow you.

Can someone who obsesses and regrets a lot like you do that?

I gave birth to you.

Since we were together,

I'll be with you until the end.

So, don't leave before me. That's cheating.

If I go first,

I'll take you with me then as well.

You need strength to do that, too.

Don't lose strength until then, Mom.

It's suffocating.

Move the blankets, Mom.

Her temperature is going down now that you're here.

Really?

It should.

My daughter has to be strong.

Ugh.

What are you doing!

You!
