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

Case Number...

2018-Deudan-4578.

Let's begin the first deliberation...

on the transfer request of child custody.

As the plaintiff has claimed,

Kim Joon Seo...

has been acknowledged as her biological son.

Does the defendant's representative have any objections?

Yes, Your Honor.

We cannot acknowledge the plaintiff's parental right.

We have written a reply,

rejecting the custody and right of Kim Joon Seo.

Defendant's representative,

please tell us about the contents of the written reply.

The plaintiff has no right to claim Kim Joon Seo.

After giving birth to her ex-husband's child,

she requested for the bone marrow transplant and then abandoned him.

I did not abandon him.

I had no choice...

but to save my sick son by handing over my newborn baby...

as Woo Na Kyung had requested.

The plaintiff is attempting to use a claim that doesn't have...

a legal effect in order to take her son.

The plaintiff...

was not able to raise the baby...

due to her new marriage.

Relinquishment of parental rights does not exist in this country.

Woo Na Kyung, the defendant's representative,

knew this fact...

but nevertheless, coerced the plaintiff to do so.

She was blackmailing her by using her sick son.

To the plaintiff,

the defendant was nothing but a tool to save her sick son.

The defendant is living a happy life and is unaware of this.

I ask that...

you allow him to continue to be happy.

You've always lost to me.

How about this time?

This time, I should try to win.

I have to save face, you know.

I'd like to help you with that,

but I don't think I can.

- What should I do? - I'm not sure.

Don't you think...

this trial is a bit different from the previous ones...

that you were in charge of?

Let's do this.

Sure.

I didn't expect us to meet in court.

It's upsetting.

I only ask...

that we deal with nothing but the truth.

Truth?

And what is that exactly?

Your side of the story?

In my point of view,

you're just someone who destroyed our family.

You attended court today on Joon Seo's behalf.

At least for his sake,

let go of your lies and hypocrisy.

That's the least you could do as his mother.

You're the one full of lies and hypocrisy.

You're the reason why we're here.

Refrain from talking to her.

She'll only cause emotional distress.

She can't do me any more harm.

There are reporters outside.

Nothing good will come out of meeting them,

so let's leave through the backdoor.

I heard that this trial is regarding your own son.

Is it true that your son is in fact Seo Ji Young's?

- He's mine. - Then why did she request...

for a confirmation of existence of biological parental relation?

What's certain is,

she has no right to request such a thing.

There are rumors that...

she and your husband are having an affair. Is this true?

Does that mean your son is involved in the affair?

Please do not involve my son into this.

Was the most recent topic on your show...

regarding you and Seo Ji Young?

Done.

It's good to see you discharging in your school uniform.

This beanie doesn't fit well with my uniform, does it?

You're a fashionista. You suit in anything.

Come on.

Did it end well?

We can talk later.

Congratulations on your discharge.

Aunt?

Hello.

I came on behalf of my family.

That's okay, right?

Thank you for coming, ma'am.

Here. Open it.

It's a wig.

It's a special gift from me to you.

I heard you have a girlfriend.

I got one that would suit you. You'll like it.

I've never worn one before.

It'll look good on you. Trust me.

Thank you.

Gosh, that's hot.

- Hello. - Hey.

- Are you done delivering? - Yes.

Try some of these.

Is it a special occasion today?

Hyeon Woo is getting discharged today.

Right.

I'm so glad that he's getting discharged.

Me too.

I'm so proud and thankful,

so I'm going to share these rice cakes with my neighbors.

I wanted to close down early and cook him something nice,

so I went grocery shopping.

Could you drop me off on the way?

Of course.

Eat up.

(Hyeon Woo, we hope you live a healthy life.)

(Hyeon Woo, we hope you live a healthy life.)

Hello.

You were waiting.

Hi.

Hello.

- What brings you here? - What do you think?

We're here to congratulate you.

Hyeon Woo, well done. Congratulations on your discharge.

Here.

"Hyeon Woo, we hope you live a healthy life."

Your friends made a nice banner for you.

Thanks.

Did your hair grow back already?

Oh, my aunt got me this wig.

Wow, she knows fashion.

Thanks to your eating show,

Hyeon Woo regained his appetite and was able to get discharged.

Thank you so much.

It's cold. Let's go in.

It's okay.

He must be tired. We'll come by next time.

All right. We'll invite you soon.

Okay.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

- Give that. Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Bye. - Goodbye.

- Grandma. - What?

Oh, my! My puppy!

Welcome home, welcome home!

I smell something yummy.

Aren't you sick of hospital food?

I've cooked all your favorite dishes.

- He'll be feasting today. - Definitely.

Get changed, and let's eat.

- Okay. - Let's go.

- Be careful. - Give that to me.

Watch your step.

You didn't have to prepare so much.

You've been so distressed that...

you didn't even know you had run out of things.

So I just bought the necessities.

I had no idea we ran out of shampoo.

You were so busy.

Thanks, Mom.

There's no need to thank your mom.

They say, only families can be brutally honest with each other.

But I didn't want you to walk down the same path as mine,

so I pressured you a lot.

Don't say that.

Without you, I wouldn't have been able to hang on for this long.

Thank you.

I'm more thankful.

Only happy days will be waiting for us from now on.

I know.

Well done.

Hyeon Woo, here.

Hyeon Woo.

There is something I haven't told you about.

What is it?

I'm currently going through trial to get Joon Seo back.

- What? - It'll take some time,

but we will make it.

Does that mean...

he knows that you're his biological mother?

I don't think so.

He'll be shocked once he finds out.

It's about time...

Joon Seo finds out who his real mother is.

And...

we can no longer allow him to live in that house.

But he's doing fine there.

You wanted to live with him.

Yes, but...

The biggest regret I have...

is that I couldn't tell you sooner about your biological father.

Dad.

Mom and Dad were cowards.

That's why you suffered.

We don't want to make the same mistake with Joon Seo.

So please trust us.
