How did I not recognize him?

Mom.

Since I put us...

on the Jinsung's family registry by doing all sorts of dirty things,

you should've kept us on it.

Never mind his hidden son. Even if his dead son came back,

you should've protected us somehow.

How come you never won the Chairman's heart?

Even a random stranger out of nowhere won his heart immediately.

I can finally die for you, then.

I'll go ahead and do that if you want.

Hey, hey. Why did that bastard suddenly return to Korea?

Didn't you hear the rumor?

Chairman Yoon's hidden son showed up.

I heard he's really smart and handsome.

He's a dethroned crown prince now.

Yes. If someone has to die, it better be him.

Dad.

Thinking about it,

all the favors you asked me were for my sake.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Yi Chan.

I just had to...

I just had to be by your side today.

I should've protected you.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault. I'm sorry, Yi Chan.

Was there an accident or something?

I hope it's not serious.

Hey, where are you going so late this time?

Are you going out to drink again?

Hey, Eun Gyeol!

How's Yi Chan? What happened to him?

Mr. Ha's guardian? Mr. Ha's guardian.

It's me. I'm his cousin.

We need to start emergency surgery. We need your signature. Follow me.

Oh, okay.

Hey, I'll go. Go wash yourself in the bathroom.

Huh? Could I...

Could I have passed?

What? What? What?

- What? What? - Did you get in?

Grandma. Grandma, I got in!

- Unbeatable... - Economics dept!

Unbeatable economics dept! Unbeatable economics dept! Unbeatable economics dept!

See, Ha Eun Gyeol?

I kept my promise, okay?

The grand prize goes to...

No. 18, the band Watermelon Sugar.

Bastards, what did I tell you?

Y. W. I. Y. D. G. U.

"You win if you don't give up," I said.

- Applause! - So cool!

You look pretty.

Grandma, did you achieve your dream now?

Okay, okay. Look over here.

Grandma, look.

Gather around.

Five seconds. Five seconds. Five seconds. Hurry, hurry.

One, two, three.

Thank you for raising me, Grandma.

There aren't many cars because it's a Friday night. How did this happen?

The kid who was behind pushed the one who was running ahead...

Gosh, what a son of a bitch.

How could he just hit someone and run away?

Aigoo...

I'm sure. I saw it with my own eyes.

That was the only car that left the scene at the time.

The license plate number was Seoul 2 Na 4836.

I don't know the model, but it was a red sports car.

You have to catch him. It was a hit-and-run... I mean, he attempted murder.

Calm down. Which way did he go?

He went toward the main road that way.

Yi Chan is the one who got into the accident?

He was...

on his way to have me listen to this?

Probably...

I assume so.

We tried so hard to stop it, but...

But that tape ended up in your hands after all.

Please burn it with your own hands.

I think this cursed cycle would end that way somehow.

I'm...

sorry I let you go without saying anything earlier.

Did you...

come back to see me, by chance?

Mom, if you go back to that time,

what do you want to ask the most?

Why did you abandon me? Something like that, probably.

Why couldn't you ask him?

I think I was afraid to face the truth.

He was probably afraid, too.

Because he would've had no answer for me.

If you're back to tell me something-

Why did you abandon me?

When I asked you about the actress Shin Ha Young, you said

it was love, not just a fling.

You said you found out that she died and that I was born after I was adopted.

You said you never abandoned me.

- Se Kyeong- - I'll try...

to believe that and understand that, but...

if that was true, shouldn't you have tried to find your daughter later?

It's too irresponsible to say you didn't abandon me because you didn't know.

Because you looked happy.

You were growing up happily with well-off and excellent step-parents.

I didn't want to destroy your happiness.

Your daughter was never happy.

She was always anxious and often miserable living someone else's life.

She had to be better than Han Na, the step-parents' biological daughter.

She thought she'd be loved that way. She never lived her life as Choi Se Kyeong.

So I want you to answer...

if someone who looks exactly like me asks the same question,

answer as many times as it takes.

Say, "I never abandoned you.

You're not Han Na and...

you're my daughter, Choi Se Kyeong, who was born out of love."

If you don't say it, there's no way to know.

This is it.

You people are responsible for the rest.

I'll no longer get involved.

I'm afraid something else would change again.

I'm afraid I'd fail like I failed to protect Yi Chan.

I want to go back home now.

Who the heck are you?

There will be two full moons tomorrow night.

When there are two full moons,

the door that connects the past and present or the present and future opens.

What does that have to do with me?

Wrap up the journey and

come to the place where you first arrived.

I'll make sure it's bright inside La Vida Music, as I promised.

Oh, I'll serve you lavender tea to welcome you.

Who are you?

You think I could go back in this situation?

Tomorrow is your only chance to go back.

If you remain there,

your life in 2023 will disappear.

Would that still be okay?

You, who don't belong in this world,

might create another butterfly effect again and

it's impossible to predict the outcome.

Would that still be okay?

Why are you doing this to me?

What did I do wrong exactly?

What sin did I commit that you sent me on this awful journey?

No matter what decision you make,

I hope it's for your own sake.

- Well, then. - Don't hang up.

Don't hang up, I said.

Don't hang up! I'm not done talking to you!

Hey, Eun Gyeol. Eun Gyeol.

Yi Chan's surgery just ended.

What happened? Did it go well?

It did. He will survive.

He'll be sent to a regular ward soon.

Yi Chan.

Dad.

I'm sorry, Dad.

If I didn't come here,

this wouldn't have happened.

Dad.

It's not that I didn't say anything because you couldn't hear.

I didn't...

say those...

mean things because I hated you.

You know how much I love you.

So...

please open your eyes now.

I have something I have to tell you. Don't just sleep like this.

And...

I might need to go back now.

Yi Chan.

Yi Chan.

Hey, something's strange.

I can't hear sounds.

I don't hear my voice, either.

Gosh, Grandma.

You might fall. Slow down.

Gosh.

We can't keep it a secret forever. It's not something to get over in a few days.

Who am I?

I said he's fine mentally.

Who am I? Tell me right now.

You're Grandma.

Can you hear my voice?

I'll go home soon. You shouldn't have come.

I thought I was finally catching a break from your nagging.

Can you hear my voice?

I'm sorry, Grandma.

You said you love how healthy I am physically and mentally. What do I do?

Instead,

I'll try to have a more lovable heart.

I'll work on the muscles around there more.

Aigoo, my baby. Aigoo, my baby.

I thought happy endings existed. How could such an unexpected thing happen?

No one in the world was as kind as my grandson.

What sin did he commit? How could this be? Aigoo...

Why are you crying, Grandma? I didn't die.
