A Pledge to God (A Promise with the Gods / Singwaui Yaksok / 신과의 약속)

No...

Hyeon Woo.

Ji Young.

Stop. He'll be all right.

Hyeon Woo...

is in a coma.

Is it serious?

His fever isn't dropping.

His body is refusing all medication.

Doctor.

Hyeon Woo is okay, right?

For now, it's hard for us to know for sure.

Don't say that. Please.

If the donor was a perfect match,

such complications might've not happened.

It's a pity.

Please take good care of him.

We're doing our best, so let's be patient.

You're not allowed to visit him until he is stabilized,

so please wait.

Sit down.

Min Ho.

What did he mean...

by a perfect match?

Didn't Na Kyung tell you?

All that I heard was that Joon Seo was a 50-percent match.

There was...

a donor who was a perfect match.

Really?

Then why?

It was confirmed that we'd receive that donor's bone marrow,

so we weren't going to ask Joon Seo.

But suddenly,

the donor changed their mind.

Why?

The hospital respects the donor's opinion,

so they didn't ask why.

Asking such questions could burden the donors.

I see.

We're just thankful...

that Joon Seo was willing to.

For now,

he's just adjusting.

We have to believe so.

I do.

He will put up a good fight.

Hey.

Welcome home.

How is Hyeon Woo?

His fever isn't dropping.

Why isn't he getting better when he received...

his brother's bone marrow?

Joon Seo's only a 50-percent match.

Then was this expected?

Yes.

Right. I heard it's not easy to find the perfect match.

Actually,

there was a perfect match.

- Really? - Then why didn't they donate?

They first agreed to it,

but during the transplant procedure, they backed out.

My goodness.

Well, I guess they're free to say no.

But this is a life or death situation.

I'm sure they had their reasons.

Goodness.

Having a grand sum of money doesn't matter.

It won't help me a bit during these situations.

Am I allowed to visit him right now?

No one's allowed to visit until he's stabilized.

Let's go tomorrow. I'll drive you.

Yes, let's do that.

If I can't meet him, I should at least watch him from afar.

How's Hyeon Woo?

He's still in a critical situation.

He'll get better, right?

Hey.

Why didn't you tell me that he had a perfect match?

What?

Did I not?

No.

Telling you wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

The person refused to donate.

Right.

If that person donated,

Hyeon Woo wouldn't be suffering as much as he is now.

He'll be fine.

His own younger brother donated to him.

It shouldn't go wrong.

Dad.

Hey, Joon Seo.

Is Hyeon Woo still sick?

Yes, a bit.

Didn't you say I'd help him recover?

So why is he still sick?

Don't worry. I'm sure he'll get better...

for your sake.

Come here.

He will be okay.

He will recover.

Let's pray together.

Okay.

Please heal my brother.

Please heal him.

Please.

Hello, ma'am.

You can go first.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

For what?

You became the board director.

You must think the chairman helped me.

Not at all.

Everyone in this company believes that you worked the hardest...

among us all.

That's great to hear.

Goodness.

I'm getting so many calls, begging me to arrange them...

a meeting with you.

Up until a few days ago,

they didn't even call me once.

I know.

Pick five among them.

That way, the others will be on their toes.

All right.

Should I start with this afternoon?

- Sure. - Okay.

I'll make a list.

- Wait. - Yes?

Not this afternoon. I need to be somewhere.

Where?

Going down.

His condition is worsening.

What are they talking about?

Aren't you Na Kyung?

What are you doing here?

Well...

I was worried about Hyeon Woo.

So why are you standing here and not...

Hello.

Has Hyeon Woo gotten better?

Not yet. They need to monitor him for a few more days.

Goodness.

Did the donation center say...

anything else?

They feel terrible for Hyeon Woo.

I see.

If that donor, who was a perfect match, donated to him,

he wouldn't have to suffer this much.

Even if it's a perfect match,

they said it does take a while for the recipient to adjust.

How do you know that?

I researched a bit because I was concerned about Hyeon Woo.

Thanks.

Thanks for worrying about him.

He's Joon Seo's older brother.

It will pain him if something happens to Hyeon Woo.

Nothing will happen to him.

Right?

Of course.

He'll fight through this.

I'm praying for him.

Thank you.

- Hey. - Hi, Mom.

Hi.

Have you eaten?

Let's go eat.

It's okay.

I came because I knew you'd be skipping meals.

Yes, please feed her.

She doesn't dare leave his side.

You need to be healthy for him to be as well.

Let's go.

Do you remember this rice soup?

In high school,

you used to buy me it all the time.

I did?

At that time, I thought I wouldn't be able to go to college...

and thought I should just end my life.

But you called me out to eat...

and bought me rice soup.

Ever since that day,

I promised myself that I'd never have rice soup ever again.

Because eating it in tears...

made me look pathetic.

Then why are you buying me this?

Because it was so delicious.

I haven't had this since,

but I always remembered...

the girl who promised to survive...

while eating that rice soup.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

What do you mean?

I used Joon Seo to torture you.

Father...

removed me from my position...

just because I put Joon Seo under my name.

I was nothing but loyal to him.

In order to retrieve my position,
