Be My Dream Family (In My Wildest Dreams / Sokado Ggumgyeol / 속아도 꿈결 )

Last time, you asked me...

why I've moved to a totally different neighborhood...

when most business owners...

don't like to move when their businesses are settled down.

Well...

I was a little ill.

I had ovarian cancer.

I was diagnosed early, so I underwent surgery...

and a few courses of chemotherapy. I took good care of myself.

They say cancer isn't curable,

but in my case, I'm almost cured.

Even though it was found early,

going through that process was sure not easy.

It was more stressful...

for my girls, who had to see me go through that.

And since I'd run the hair salon in the area for many years,

I was sad every time I saw my regular clients...

who felt sorry for me.

Right.

My son-in-law...

I mean, Sol's dad. He lived with us in that house...

until he died in the accident,

so it was filled with so many memories.

So we decided to move, for various reasons.

We wanted a new start.

The whole family wanted to start over in a new home.

I see. So you've fully recovered, right?

I've been going back regularly for follow-up tests,

and I had an appointment recently as well.

My doctor said everything looked good.

Most importantly, I feel healthy nowadays.

I feel at ease.

Yes, that's what I like to hear.

But you see, cancer is...

It can come back anytime.

I've become so lax...

that I sometimes forget that I had cancer in the past.

But I try to remind myself from time to time...

that it can recur anytime.

Gosh, don't say that. That won't happen.

It could come back, and no one can deny that.

I can't give you such a burden.

When you proposed to me,

I said yes because I was just so moved and happy.

But I can't keep this from you. That'd be like a marriage scam.

Let's...

just stay like this.

Just dating like this makes me happy enough.

No. It won't come back.

That will never happen.

You're taking such good care of yourself,

and you've held out for this long.

So why would it recur now? That won't happen.

Mr. Geum.

And even if it does come back,

it won't be a burden to me. It'll never be...

because you are...

a blessing to me.

If it comes back, we'll deal with it together.

Even if it doesn't, we'll be together.

From now on,

we'll do everything together.

I told you...

that there's no guarantee.

It came back.

But how...

I mean, you look so healthy.

I know.

I had no idea either.

When did you find out?

After my last checkup,

I got a call to come in again.

My blood work came back...

with some kind of index being too high,

so the doctor wanted to look into it.

I went back in and got more tests done,

and I only heard about it today.

Well...

It's spread to my intestines.

There's a big tumor in my large intestines,

and there are small ones elsewhere as well.

Why didn't you tell me back then?

So you went there alone and got all the tests done?

What do we do, then?

What...

should we do now?

It'll be hard to remove all of them through surgery.

It'll take a toll on me physically,

so the doctor wants to get me started on chemotherapy right away.

I'm okay, Mr. Geum. We can get this treated.

I'm Kang Mo Ran.

To me, this is nothing.

It's not a big deal.

I'll get a few injections and be all spaced out.

Then it'll be over before I even know it.

What about the girls?

What do we do?

Do you want me to tell them?

No, don't.

No way. They can't know.

To me, it's a big deal at all,

but they were extremely stressed out the first time around.

They're all such cowards. Even though it was found early,

they couldn't even eat or sleep. It was crazy.

I can't put them through that again.

Besides, they lost their father recently.

Just keep it to yourself.

We can get through this together.

Let's tell them when the whole process is over.

You can do that for me, right?

But how...

No, don't.

We'll keep this to ourselves.

We won't tell anyone, okay?

You're still awake?

- Hey. - Why are you drinking?

Oh, I can't fall asleep for some reason today.

I'm just going to have one glass.

By the way, why are you still up?

I was going over a manuscript. I'm going to bed now.

I see.

Well...

I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For taking care of everything at the funeral.

I wanted to thank you properly.

Thank you.

Gosh, that was nothing.

Well, thank you.

Are you girls okay now?

Of course. Mom's everything to us.

I know this will make me sound like a kid,

but we'll be fine as long as we have Mom.

Ga Eun and Sol feel the same way.

And we're so happy knowing that she now...

has you.

You should go to bed too.

Get some rest. Don't drink too much.

- All right. Good night. - Good night.

Why are you still up?

Okay.

I won't tell the girls. We'll keep it to ourselves.

But...

let's see a different doctor and get a second opinion.

I just find it so hard to believe.

I mean, you look so healthy.

You look perfectly healthy.

I find it hard to believe that you have malignant tumors.

I really can't believe it.

Maybe that doctor is a quack.

Mr. Geum.

I'm not just saying this.

Misdiagnoses happen more often than you think.

I'll just organize things at work and come to pick you up.

Let's go see...

a different doctor together, okay?

Was the other one not good?

- I'm a good cook. - I know.

I'm just saying it's delicious.

You look like you've grown even taller.

- Come on. - What are you talking about?

Watch your mouth.

- Good morning. - Try this too.

- Good morning, everyone. - You're up early.

Join us for breakfast.

Oh, don't worry. I'll eat later.

Well, I wanted to tell you this when everyone was here.

I've decided to go home.

- What? - My gosh.

Sang Gu will pick me up later.

Well, this just happened.

I'm not going to forgive him for everything though.

But he apologized and begged me on his knees,

so I just want to see what he'll do now.

That's great. You made the right decision.

Then he should come here for dinner and eat with us.

He seems to be in a rush to bring me home.

He said he'd pick me up right away when I told him I'd come home.

My goodness.

Why is everyone laughing? I'm so embarrassed.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know...

that I won't be here...

when you're back from work.

Thank you for letting me stay with you...

this whole time.

Sang Gu must really love you.

Congratulations.

My gosh. What are you congratulating me for?

I just want to try living with him a little longer and see.

My gosh. I'm just saying, Father.

Yes, you made the right decision.

If he does it again, I'll teach him a lesson...

even if you say you want to stay with him,

so see if you can make it work this time.

I will.

I had fun practicing acting with you, Auntie Min Hee.

You'll visit us again, right?

Of course!

Oh, you have to let me know how your audition goes.

Okay, I'll call you with Mom's phone.
