Mom (엄마)

Sang-soon.

You must've been very shocked.

It's not your fault. It's all my fault.

Mother.

I made life too difficult for Yoon-hee.

I relied on my little daughter too much.

So she became mature too early for her age...

... and gained a strong sense of responsibility.

And that sense of responsibility...

...ruined your life too.

What do you mean she ruined my life?

I heard about Ha-na's real dad.

How could you...

...remain silent about such a big secret?

You must've felt so much anger. So how did you?

Do you know what I thought?

Not knowing that, I thought...

‘How could my pretty and smart girl make such a marriage?'

I was so resentful of you. You know?

As her mother,

...I had no idea what my child was thinking,

...and how she had lived her life. And that sin of ignorance...

...made Yoon-hee like that.

When he showed up again,

...I tortured Yoon-hee so much.

It's natural.

It's natural for a human being.

For a while even after he left,

...I couldn't forgive her.

I couldn't trust her, so I gave her a hard time.

I think it was around that time when she felt pain.

She was sick throughout many nights, taking medicine.

Yet, I pretended I didn't know and just slept.

I thought to myself, ‘It is me who is in pain!

How could you moan and groan before me!'

I was so mean to her.

It's not your fault. It is not.

I am such a loser. I want to kill myself.

I want to hack myself to pieces and have the crows eat me!

Mother... - Sang-soon, don't say that.

Don't.

Don't blame yourself, Sang-soon.

Doo-na.

Mom, I miss you.

Doo-na, I told you not to call her if you were going to cry.

Ha-na, you talk to her.

Mom, are you very sick?

No, I am okay.

You sound like you're very sick.

Mom...

Don't die, please?

If you die, I will die too!

Okay? Don't die!

How could you say such a thing?

Yoon-hee, I'll hang up.

I'll take care of the kids, so don't worry.

Mom...

Now get some sleep.

Mom.

Yes?

Like my father,

...what if I die and leave my kids behind?

Then what will become of them?

That will never happen.

In case...

In case I die, could you please raise my kids?

Why would I raise your kids?

It was so difficult raising you.

Then what will become of Ha-na and Doo-na?

So you must live long.

You should live to a hundred. What are you talking about?

I'm not confident.

I will never let you die.

So don't worry unnecessarily.

Just get some sleep.

Take a close look if anything applies you.

I've never seen this.

Of course.

Young-jae!

Why are you here?

I want to get a test too.

I told you no. Go back.

He's right. Go back.

Perhaps a female kidney may be a better fit for her.

Then, get a test with us.

Hi, Se-ryung. It's time to go in.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

Hey.

I want to give my kidney to my daughter.

I understand, but you are not young anymore.

Let me look for a more suitable donor.

I am healthy!

Please take one of mine and cure my daughter.

I made suffer her so much that she became like that.

Mom.

Mom, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

She wants to give her kidney to her daughter.

Mom, we will do that. We will.

No, don't. I won't let you be a donor!

Doctor, don't let them!

Mom, go to Yoon-hee. We made an appointment.

You can't! Don't!

It's okay, Mom.

Yoon-hee, what are you doing?

I'm going home.

What are you talking about? The doctor didn't say you can.

I feel better after dialysis and a good sleep.

No, stay here.

Just think that you are convalescing here and get some rest.

What about my kids?

They have two aunts at home. Why worry?

How can I just rely on them?

One goes out to work and the other is pregnant.

I can come to hospital for dialysis. I heard other people do that.

Who says that?

I asked the nurses.

Just listen to me.

Mom.

You want to leave so you can do housework...

...and to go to work, not to get rest.

You're going home so you can get back to work.

No, you can't go home. This is not the time for that!

What's wrong?

Since you're acting like that, I feel like I will die soon.

You said I only need to have dialysis...

...until I recover my kidney function.

Well, to do that, you need absolute rest.

Don't you understand?

Please listen to me.

Be careful. Your mom is home.

Mom!

Hi, Yoon-hee.

Yoon-hee...

Hi.

Ha-na, Doo-na. Why are you just standing there?

Aren't you going to give me a hug?

Is it okay to hug you?

Of course. I missed you so much.

Mom.

Are you okay now?

Yes. I'm not sick.

No, she is sick.

Mom.

She is still very sick.

So you shouldn't bother her or annoy her.

Now you should take care of yourselves. Okay?

Okay.

Mom, I will go study in Uncle Ji-nu's room.

I'll read with them.

Thank you, Ji-nu.

Why did you say that? They are scared.

Mother is right.

Though we brought you home because you insisted,

...the doctor said you shouldn't overwork yourself.

Honey. - Yoon-hee.

Go in after her. She might collapse again.

Don't leave her alone, okay?

Yes, Mother.

Did you hear Yoon-hee left the hospital?

Jeong-ae called me.

She should stay in hospital. She is so stubborn.

Maybe she was worried about her kids. She is a mother.

Jeong-ae wants to stay there with them for the time being.

What about you?

I do wish I could stay with her,

...but I'll only be a nuisance to them.

How about sending our maid there?

We'd better get a resident maid for them.

They don't have any extra room.

Oh, you're right.

Then how about having Yoon-hee convalesce in our home?

You think she'd do that?

Look for a commuter maid for them.

Okay.

Honey, don't even say before Father...

...that we will take a donor suitability test.

Not everybody who takes the test can donate though.

Whatever the case, keep your mouth shut.

I'm already upset about my life getting complicated...

...because of Ms. Yun's family.

I have no desire to give up my kidney.

Then why did you contact a coordinator of...

...the organ transplant center?

How did you know that?

Father asked me to check out the transplant procedures,

...so I went there only to find that you'd already been there.

You even put her on the waiting list.

It's because her family has no time to do it, so I did it.

You're worried about her too, huh? That's why you did that, right?

Why are you staring at me? There was no reason.

It's in case things go wrong for Yoon-hee.

Father might want to adopt her two kids. That's why.

You're pregnant?

Yes. We found out when I took the donor suitability test.

The timing's a bit off, but congratulations!

Congrats, Young-jae! You are going to be a father!

Yes. Thank you.

Your baby is going to be a good child.
