Are you okay?
- Use this. - It's fine.
KANG GUNWOO
You can use this umbrella.
I think it'll make Gunwoo sad
if he were to see you.
EPISODE 3
-
Don't come out.
I just want to see Gunwoo alone.
Mom.
I came too late, didn't I?
It's fine now.
You're home now, so it's okay.
I'll do it. Your arms will hurt.
I'm done.
Let's see.
You look like my mom now.
Are you really okay now?
Of course.
The scar is almost gone now.
I'm talking about your heart.
Soohyun, I don't want you to have any bad thoughts.
Although no one can fill the void of a child's empty seat,
but you have me and Yuri.
Mom, I won't die.
I would never leave you alone in this world.
How could I die like that?
I also promised Gunwoo
that I wouldn't live a shameful life.
I'll do what I can to survive,
to keep that promise.
I'm going to do that.
That's good.
Let's shoot a few more. Great.
A little more.
All right.
A little brighter.
- Just a moment. - Cut! One minute.
Let me.
How's this, Mr. Lee?
- Doesn't the brilliant cut stand out more? - Yes, much better.
- Let's change the light. - Why? It seems fine now.
It's the Cedu Collection.
White gold shouldn't look like rose gold.
Gosh, you're so meticulous.
Thank you.
Raise the contrast and control the white balance.
- Yes, sir. White gold. - One more time.
Okay.
That's good.
Of course.
The brochure will be released in time for the opening.
- Okay. - You have a guest.
Soohyun?
Soohyun.
That was when the shop launched.
Yuri.
You've become so fabulous.
You just didn't know before. I clean up well when I dress up.
Thank you.
For taking care of my mom in my place.
What are you saying?
When I became an orphan,
you and Mom took care of me.
I'm still a long way from paying that off.
She's my mom too. Don't make a fuss just because you're related by blood.
Seeing you so successful
makes me... so happy.
It's your turn.
Start over.
Okay?
YANGPYEONG POLICE STATION
I'd like to find the survivor of the fire incident in Yangpyeong in 2003.
The police station moved in 2005.
Most of the old records were lost. I'm sorry.
Mom, I'll be home later.
Are you going out to look again?
Be careful.
HWASONG CABIN
May I ask you something?
Isn't this where the old cabin used to be?
That cabin?
It disappeared after the fire. It's a restaurant now.
By chance,
- do you have their contact information? - No, I don't.
There used to be a cabin there.
- Do you know it? - Cabin?
- I don't. - I don't know.
DAEJIN CITY SMILE CENTER
It happened so long ago, there aren't other records.
There is one record of the psychology counselor in charge.
I see. Thank you.

Desire is an urge to overcome despair. It's an antinomy.
All humans have their own desires.
The reason those desires can't be expressed
is because of social rules.
Freud said that if a person suppresses these desires because of social rules,
they'll eventually be expressed through dreams.
Jiheon, did you have that type of dream last night?
- I had dinner with you in my dream. - Goodness. What?
Class is over. That's it for today's lesson.
Professor!
Eun Soohyun!
WE LOVE YOU, PROFESSOR
LOVE YOUR LECTURE, THANK YOU
I NEVER SKIPPED YOUR CLASS
I'LL NEVER FORGET YOUR CLASS
MY WOUNDS HAVE BEEN HEALED
YOU RAISED MY SELF-ESTEEM
Thank you.
Excuse me?
Are you Professor Kim Sira?
Yes, I remember.
He was very wary from his first session.
He was afraid of fire.
He had severe insomnia too.
In the end,
he refused treatment, so the sessions stopped.
By chance, do you have his number?
It's been over 10 years since I spoke to him.
Still, I'm sure I have his record somewhere.
I'll look for it.
Thank you so much.
By the way...
You're her, aren't you?
I'll help you. I promise.
Hey, Yuri.
Ta-da.
I got it on my business trip. I thought it'd look good on you.
Open up. Hurry up.
Isn't it pretty?
Ta-da! We have a matching pair.
Thanks.
Hey, do you remember?
When I said I didn't know how I could meet someone like you in my life?
I meant that.
How was your trip to the States?
All I did was work.
By the way... Well...
I think Suho's coming back soon.
Aren't you going to call him?
DIVORCE APPLICATION
Give that to Suho for me.
Soohyun.
Fine, do whatever you want.
Don't care if Mom's worried, I'm upset, or Suho's tormented.
- Don't bother. Just do what you want! - How can I do what I want?
I don't want to let him go either.
I want to stay beside him...
even if I become his baggage, but...
how can I do that?
He's the person...
I love the most.
- It's true! - Daddy, hurry up.
No, I'm right.
Why won't you believe me? I mean it.
Gunwoo, help me.
- Come on. - Let's go. My baby, good boy.
- Let's go. - Come on, Happy.
- Go inside, Happy. - You're so cute.
Let's go inside.
I mean it.
HAPPY
You look so cool!
Honey.
No! No! No!
I don't want to wear pants!
Tease-ya!
Mom, look at me. I can jump this high!
Look at me!
- One, two. - Aah!
You said you'd pull it after three.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry...
That day, I heard this exact sound.
- Hello? - I found it.
The victim's counseling log you were looking for.
I will send those together to you directly.
Okay.
20, UNAM-DONG 1-GIL, SEOJAE-GU, SEOUL
- Excuse me? - Yes?
- Is this the right address? - Yes, it is.
- By chance, do you know Gwon Seonyul? - Seonyul?
- He lives on the second floor. - Is that so?
But he's not home right now. He's at work.
I saw him leave for work this morning.
- I see. - If it's urgent,
- I can tell you where he works. - Do you know where that is?
Yes, just a moment.
Thank you.
Congressman Choi Juseok is driving on his own
without his entourage.
- Cheers! - Hey!
This is great.
- Why are you so pretty? - Damn it.
Come here! Come here!
Who are you?
JUNKYARD
OFFICE
- Hi, may I ask you a question? - Sure.
- Is Gwon Seonyul here? - You can go that way.
Thank you.
- You have to go all the way down. - Okay, thank you.
Excuse me?
You?
You can use this umbrella.
I think it'll make Gunwoo sad
if he were to see you.
Are we having pork belly tonight?
Hey, Seonyul.
- I'm off. - Make sure to turn the lights off.
Let's go this way.
Ah.
Do you always eat dinner this late?
Yes.
But I'm curious.
Why did you come to see me?
To be honest,
someone...
asked me to meet you for them.
What is this?
BANK BOOK
FOUR DEAD IN FIRE SOLE SURVIVOR, AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BOY
That person...
felt terribly guilty
and wrote letters of apologies
to you for a long time.
So...
are you here to deliver an apology
from the person who killed my parents?
Why would you do this for them?
Because she can't...
deliver them herself anymore.
She died.
Until her last breath,
she felt so sorry.
She sincerely hoped you'd live a good life--
So?
How do I look?
Do I look like I'm doing well?
An apology doesn't bring the dead back to life.
Or relieve any burden.
I know.
I know how you feel.
I know it all too well.
What do you know?
I didn't want to know about this person until the day I died.
Do you have any idea
what you did to me?
Soohyun, I have a favor to ask.
That child endured a hard time as much as you did.
Can you help him put that painful memory
behind him?
How do I look? Do I look like I'm doing well?
What do you know?
I didn't want to know about this person until the day I died.
Do you have any idea
what you did to me?
We were just riding normally.
That kid ran in front of me with a soccer ball.
Then that man popped out of nowhere and I hit him.
So you hit him trying to avoid hitting the child?
Things got out of hand because of him.
What are you saying?
My kid would've gotten hurt if it weren't for him!
That's dangerous!
- What is he doing? - He said he lost his mother's necklace.
Goodness!
Come out. Goodness! Get out of there.
My mother's picture is in there!
This is dangerous!
- Come out, please? - Excuse me!
Excuse me! There's a big accident here!
People were hurt.
You have to come to the police station and write a report.
- Come out of there. Quickly. - Come on out!
- You can find it later. - Goodness.
Be careful.
Excuse me.
Here.
I also...
have a similar pain.
I lost...
my child.
I wanted an apology from the man...
who did that to my child.
Apologize.
You ruined my child's life.
So apologize properly!
He could've died anywhere else!
Why did he have to get hit by my car?
If he had,
I still couldn't forgive him,
but I would've tried to forget it.
I didn't do it.
I'll hold your hand.
I still break every day
in a pain that can't be healed.
That's why I came to find you.
I hoped you weren't trapped in pain like me.
I wished you would accept her heartfelt apology
and try to live your life.
But...
I was wrong.
You were living your life well
in your own way.
You had buried this pain,
and I dug it up for you.
I am...
truly sorry.

HANKUK UNITED PARTY REPRESENTATIVE KIM JOON
Don't worry. I'll call you.
She'll be back soon.
It's been six years.
You look...
so gaunt.
You've gone through so much.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
Did you really think
- I'd abandon you? - Suho...
Don't I horrify you?
Please.
You don't need me in your life.
So forget about me,
and meet someone else.
Yes.
I tried to, but I couldn't.
I just can't do it.
You don't mean that. Just tell me you're sorry.
Tell me you'll never push me away.
Say you'll never say something like that again.
Then I'll forgive you.
The more you do this, the more miserable I feel.
So just go.
Go and live your life.
That's how you can help me.
Please, go.
How could I ever let you go?
Don't you know who you are to me?
I missed you so much, Soohyun.
Let's go home. Okay?
Professor!
Who's this?
Don't call her that. She's your sister-in-law.
Ah, Soohyun.
- Have you been well? - Yeah.
Are you doing okay? I wanted to come see you.
I'm grateful you sent me all those letters even though you're busy.
You did that?
- Yes. - Isn't this your third year now?
I tutored you as a kid. When did you become a doctor?
It's all thanks to you.
What's this? Is this how you came?
What? I left the hospital urgently.
Goodness. Let's go inside, Taeho.
Why do you always take food pictures?
You wouldn't know. It's my own personal joy.
It's like a precious diary
that records my day.
Forget it. Try calling Mom again.
I don't think she's coming.
The way she sounded over the phone...
Then let's just enjoy ourselves, okay? Honey?
Mom.
Mother.
I caused you... so much trouble.
I'm very sorry.
You've been through a lot.
It must've been so hard for you, dear.
No, it's fine.
You went through all the trouble. Here.
You loved braised galbi.
Here. Eat up.
Go on.
Eat up.
We'll live a good life.
Thank you for accepting me again.
Soohyun.
Yes.
Don't think I accepted you.
You still... horrify me.
If you hadn't come home that day,
my grandson wouldn't have died like that.
What happened to Gunwoo was partly your fault.
Now you're back after committing murder,
and you want to take my son down.
How terrifying would that be?
But my son told me
that he'd die without you.
He said he'd cut ties with me if I continued to oppose.
So what else could I do?
I have no choice but to surrender.
So...
endure everything for Suho.
I'll try to endure you too.
Let's go.
Thanks.
For what?
For...
...taking me back.
Will you give me your hand?
Do you remember when I proposed to you?
No matter what happens,
I said we'd always be together.
We've been apart for so long, right?
So I'm going to propose to you again today.
Thank you...
for allowing me to be by your side again.
And...
for allowing me to be Gunwoo's dad.
Thank you for that.
Soohyun.
Let's walk together in the present now, okay?
From now on,
I'll always be with you.
Let's be happy.
Oh.
- Have you been well? - Yes...
- Have you returned home? - Yes.
Are you Heejae?
You're so grown up.
Heejae, say hello.
She's Gunwoo's mom.
- Hello. - Do you remember me?
You played in our garden often.
Yes, I remember playing soccer with Gunwoo.
- We'll see you around. - Ah.
I still break every day
in a pain that can't be healed.
That's why I came to find you.
I hoped you weren't trapped in pain like me.
I wished you would accept her heartfelt apology
and try to live your life.
Director Kang, come in.
You became the face of the 8 O'clock News. Plus a special broadcast.
The ratings will be good
- since you're popular, right? - Of course.
Did you want to speak to me about something?
Director, we were wondering.
How about making an appearance with your wife?
That sounds good.
What do you say?
Yes, I'm sorry. That will be difficult.
I don't want to make her uncomfortable.
Still, could you talk to her about it?
Director Kang?
What can I say? I have a meeting for the evening news.
I should go.
- I'll see you again. - Sure.
I don't think he'll do it.
Kang Suho's the face of ABS now.
Shouldn't we check to see if his murderer wife
will be his Achilles heel or cheat key?
Here's your coffee.
Isn't this place nice?
- Yes. - I found a lot of great places
to go with you and Mom.
- Seriously? - What?
- You should go with a boyfriend. - She's right.
Are you seeing anyone?
Even if I wanted to, no one catches my eye.
Anyone decent is already taken.
- Try this. - Okay.
Hello?
Yes. I see.
I'll think about it.
Okay.
What type of uncomfortable call was that?
What do you have to think about?
It was about Suho.
He's doing a special broadcast.
The producer in charge
asked me if I could make an appearance with him.
Hmm.
Did Suho say anything?
- No. - If he didn't bring it up,
I'm sure there's a reason for it.
You'll end up getting hurt if you make that appearance
and people start gossiping about you.
That's how I feel too.
I feel the same way.
I'm sure there are people who support you,
but there will be people who will criticize.
I'm worried you might get hurt.

Suho.
Why didn't you tell me they wanted me to make an appearance on your special?
How did you know that? By chance, did someone call?
Those people. I swear...
- I told them. - Honey.
I'll...
do it.
No, I know you're doing it for me,
but don't worry about it.
Aren't I allowed to do something for you?
I know how many inconveniences you'll have to deal with because of me
because you're in that position.
Also...
I don't want to be someone you have to protect.
I want to be someone
who can walk beside you.
- I understand, but honey-- - This...
could become that opportunity for us.
Okay?
The new face of ABS's 8 O'clock News.
We have Anchorman Kang Suho and his wife here with us today.
I really wanted to meet you.
You won the grand prize for journalists. Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Yes.
As for Ms. Eun Soohyun, you took quite the difficult step.
Thank you so much for coming.
We will be talking with both people here today.
It's been quite some time,
but I'm sure it's still difficult to talk about.
I apologize beforehand for asking these questions.
Have you been getting through it?
I don't know. The sadness of losing your child
is not something you can get through.
It hurts every day.
It's still very difficult.
As for you,
I'm sure it wasn't easy to come on the show.
I know it may be difficult,
but can you share your thoughts as well?
I'm sure
it could be uncomfortable for some people to see me.
However,
I wanted to say this.
I was...
the mother of a child...
...whose life was more precious than mine.
And I lost that child overnight.
He was a child who loved the stars,
and he became a star to us.
I try to accept that every day,
but there are times when I can't.
A parent who loses a child
still hurts no matter how much time passes.
Still...
I think it's time...
...to let everything go and forget.
I wasn't able to protect
this man beside me or my family
because of my pain.
If I want to protect the rest of my family,
I must...
...try my best to become a mother
that Gunwoo would be proud of,
and a better wife than I was yesterday.
Yes.
Is this for Eun Soohyun?
Will you say one last thing to the viewers?
My wife and I
have endured a hard time together.
It has made us stronger. And...
our feelings for one another
have strengthened.
That will never change.
To all the parents out there who have been through the same pain,
we hope...
you can endure it.
Thank you.
- Great job. - That was great.
- Great job. - I was so worried.
Wasn't that difficult?
Director, great job.
MISSED CALL GWON SEONYUL
- Hello? - It's Gwon Seonyul.
The diary.
I'm not confident I can forgive her,
still...
I'll read it.
Text me.
Meet me at Solgang Nursing Center at 2.
RECIPIENT EUN SOOHYUN
But I can't help but wonder about who sent that photo to me.
I can't stop thinking about who the woman in the photo is.
The person who took it is a pro.
Did something happen today?
-
I'm his guardian.
Don't try to dull the pain.
Just bury it.
Don't look back.
What have you been doing? Why did I get something like this?
