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

Staring at the fire is making me think of that time.

Was it when I was seven?

You know the toffee sugar candy thing, right?

Da Bal used to love it.

She kept asking me to buy her one, but I had no money.

So I decided to just make it for her...

and ended up burning the ladle.

I was spanked so badly that day.

You were spanked? By who?

My grandpa, grandma, aunt, and uncle...

All of them.

My dad practically kicked out my mom and us,

so we were like a nuisance in that house.

We were locked in the storage room until late at night.

We only got out when my mom got home from work...

and practically begged him.

Gosh. Whenever I think of that time, I still...

Is that why...

you're claustrophobic?

Yes.

I don't know why I was so scared in that storage room.

And Da Bal kept crying nonstop.

Da Bal went through a lot...

because of me.

She got yet another beating because of me.

It's okay. I'm just saying I'm reminded of that time.

Right. How did you come to learn sign language?

I mean, it's learning a language.

You must've picked it up for a reason.

Is it time to share my painful memories?

I was bullied.

You?

Why? You're like Mr. Popular now.

No idea.

You know, when you're little,

once you see someone getting bullied,

everyone either sides with the bully or just ignores it.

But only one classmate became my friend.

He had trouble hearing,

and the others bullied him too,

but he stayed by my side throughout the school.

I learned it to converse with him.

It's natural to become intimidated when you're bullied like that,

but I stayed strong and grew up to be Mr. Popular...

thanks to that friend of mine.

And we're still friends.

Although I can't see him often because he lives far.

I see.

There are still many things we don't know about each other.

We'll be together 24-7 once we move to the US,

so we'll have lots of time. Too much time, in fact.

Right?

- Geu Roo. - Yes?

You...

shouldn't leave.

Just stay in Korea.

You're not ready yet.

This was decided suddenly.

What? Are you afraid now that you've realized we'll be spending...

too much time together?

Yes, I'm scared.

That it'd be stressful for you to spend...

that much time only with me.

Your mother and your family are everything to you.

What if not being able to see them devastates you?

And what if...

you end up regretting leaving with me?

That thought terrifies me.

No, I made this choice.

I won't be like that. I promise.

Geu Roo.

We're not going on a vacation.

We're moving there to live and work there.

Do you know what that means?

You can't look after your mother even when she falls ill.

You won't be able to attend Ga Eun's wedding,

and you can't be there for Da Bal when she's worried about something.

You can't watch your dear niece Sol...

grow up.

Are you really okay with that?

Ms. Seo.

You have the books.

Thank you.

I got it.

I picked them up from the print shop just now. Congratulations.

Finally. Thank you. You worked so hard for this.

Gosh, you too. I know how hard you worked.

You did such a great job. I love the illustrations.

I'm glad as long as I don't ruin your writing.

Come on. Being too modest can come across as annoying.

I'm suddenly so nervous. I need a glass of water.

I set it up over there.

- See you in a bit. Thank you. - Okay, see you.

Congratulations, Mr. Geum. This is your first book.

"Illustrated by Geum Sang Min."

"Designed by Min Ga Eun."

This is our first book.

Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to come this far.

You changed my life.

If you weren't there for me,

I'd be...

I'll be there for you for the rest of our lives.

- Sang Min! - Hey!

- My gosh. - Sang Min!

- Hi, Ga Eun. - Hey!

So this is this guy?

This is fascinating.

Honey, look at this.

These are amazing.

Look. This one is scary, isn't it?

- Look at this. - My gosh!

How adorable.

Uncle Sang Min, these remind me of every scene in the story.

You're so cool!

- My gosh, we're here! - You made it.

- Hello. - Congratulations.

Oh, my goodness.

- This is amazing. - Thank you.

I'm surprised you made it. You said you had a shoot.

Of course, we should be here.

The artist want-to-be has finally become a real artist.

I should congratulate him.

Where's the fool?

Since you're a real artist now, you shouldn't be a fool anymore.

Well done. Congratulations.

We can't stay too long. We need to leave soon.

So you can't watch the drama with us in the evening?

It's the first episode.

Are you watching it together?

Then we should join you.

We'll finish the shoot as quickly as possible.

Yes, we'll do our best.

By the way, are you sure you drew all these yourself?

Do you think I got them from a vending machine or something?

When did you draw all this?

Look at you taunting him.

- Start over there. - Okay. Thanks.

This is so cool. You drew all of these?

- It's amazing. - Are they all in the book?

Yes.

- I'll give you a copy. - Okay, thanks.

Geu Roo, Writer Kim Young Na is here.

Take her to the venue for the signing event.

Okay. Let's go together.

What?

When did you get here?

Earlier. I came here with my dad.

I see. Hey, look.

Your dad, my aunt, and my uncle are all here.

Isn't it cool?

Yes.

By the way, when are you going to your Mom's?

When the school break begins.

I see.

My dad likes your mom, doesn't he?

What? Yes. My mom says she likes him too.

Do you not like it?

I like it.

I would've been sad had it been someone else,

but I like your mom.

Me too. I like your dad.

I'll visit my dad and stay with him...

even after I move in with my mom.

Really? That's great.

Visit often.

Okay.

This is my brother's grave.

Byung Hyun, I'm here.

My boyfriend is here with me.

Hello, I'm Geum Sang Min.

I'm not just her boyfriend. We'll get married.

Hey, stop it.

Right.

Look. He found this photo for me.

There's no second copy of the photo, so I'll hold onto it.

We drew it for you though.

(Min Byung Hyun, You are alive in the hearts of your family.)

Byung Hyun.

I'm doing well. I'm very happy these days.

You're watching over me, right?

I'll make Ga Eun happier.

We'll protect and take care of each other,

and we'll look after Sol too.

We'll live a great life together.

What's wrong?

Do you feel like the baby is coming out?

Come on. It won't be that quick.

Have you been working too much?

I told you to go home.

No, the baby just kicked hard.

And what am I going to do at home all by myself?

We should've just taken the day off.

We're not as busy now that we've been open for a while.

No. What kind of restaurant is closed on the weekend?

We must stay open so that the regulars...

won't be disappointed when and if they do come.

That's right. Trust matters in everything you do,

but it's especially important when you run a business.

My goodness. You're talking as if you're the owner.

Of course. I'm not just helping out, Mom.
