EPISODE 11

Cheon Yeon-su,

what do you think love is?

Hear well?

No.

Willing to share star candy?

No.

Then, miss every day?

Not that either.

So what?

Love is

Always by your side.

Like this?

Correct.

And also, hug tightly.

Holding hands is also okay.

Is it true?

What a bear.

I don't want to!

I want to be replaced!

So what

with Number Three?

Why am I Number Three?

We won the horse jumping game

also because of me.

My strength is also stronger compared to

Han-woo and Seung-eon.

You're a bear!

We are family! g*ng-hee Family.

Have you ever seen the sequence?

siblings change?

Seung-on is number one because he lives

with me since the age of seven.

Han-woo is number two because he plays

with me since the age of eight.

And you, change schools

at the age of nine.

Then how can I be

Number One?

Because I want to be

number one for you.

Who knows.

I don't know!

Hey!

Words of love

It turns out it was said

when you are going to leave.

Yeon-soo

So

Don't

Please do not

I love you.

I love you, Yeon-su.

HANA LARGE ANIMAL CLINIC

You said you love it

hugging each other.

Holding each other's hands.

Things you already know

when I was ten years old,

why don't you know now?

Don't be like this, Yeon-su.

We both can't go back

to the time of the accident.

No, I don't care.

Can't we just

thinking about ourselves?

Indeed, if you say you don't care,

Will my sins be erased?

If you say you love me,

hug me, hold my hand,

everything will be forgotten?

Your deceased mother and father,

will come back to life?

Don't make me

increasingly tortured, Yeon-su.

Okay, it's up to you.

But remember this one thing.

No matter how much you avoid it,

nothing will change.

You will come back again.

And I will always

waiting for you here.

RESIGNATION LETTER

g*ng-hee!

I have registered it

first.

We are both hospital colleagues.

See, right?

I told you I could come by myself.

Hello, this is Ji Chun-pil.

Good.

Wait here.

It doesn't matter.

THERE IS A DISORDER OF BONE MARROW FUNCTION,

LEUKEMIA, OR OTHER BLOOD DISEASES

FURTHER TESTING REQUIRED

The results were not good.

Is it appearing again?

Patient's guardian?

Yes, I am his son.

For now,

your father needs to be treated.

I have to live

chemotherapy again, right?

Right, there is no other choice

besides chemotherapy.

INPATIENT REGISTRATION FORM

This.

Okay, that's enough.

Thank You.

UNCLE CHUN-PIL

The number you are calling is currently inactive,

please leave a voice message

You've done it before

confession of sin?

In the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

May God enlighten our hearts,

and with full confidence,

we entrust ourselves to His mercy.

Honestly admit your sins

what you have done so far.

My heart is stronger than

other pastors.

I will hear all your confessions,

and keep your secrets.

Is God

will forgive all my sins

as long as I confess my sins?

Of course.

I k*lled people.

I k*lled my mother

and Yeon-su's father.

And I just forgot everything.

For 20 years.

And I love Yeon-su too.

Can I be forgiven too?

Can you also forgive?

someone like me?

Do you know how to surrender?

I've already found out

and only something like this comes out.

EMBROIDERY

(SIMILAR PRONUNCIATION OF SURRENDER)

Please open the door.

How do you want?

surrender himself?

Do you have any proof?

That doll you put in,

It's gone, right?

The car accident?

It must have been destroyed.

And also, how old were you then?

You are still small.

Your memories come back

after 20 years,

how can we be sure

if it is a fact or not?

You just want to punish

on yourself.

You didn't talk to Yeon-su,

you end it all and run away.

Even if you have to be punished, wouldn't you?

Yeon-su should be the one to punish you?

Apologize or accept punishment,

shouldn't you talk about it?

with Yeon-su?

g*ng HEE

Yeon-soo.

Chun-pil is diagnosed with blood cancer.

three years ago.

And he also did chemotherapy

up to 12 times.

I have no idea at all.

I also had cancer surgery at that time.

Tarzan?

Hepburn?

Hello?

- Hello.

- Hello.

Have you heard?

if we meet

in the classic film lovers community?

Even though I was very scared and lonely

with my activities at the hospital.

I'm so excited to meet you

with you, Tarzan.

Me too. Our clothes are like a couple,

and hang out together.

Feels like it could last.

Let's be hospital friends.

Until we have our guardian

each,

we must always be together

to the hospital.

If you can

Let's stop at the hospital.

When my chemotherapy is finished this time,

I don't want to do it anymore.

I thought he was joking at the time.

Looks like he's serious.

If he doesn't want to seek treatment anymore.

I can't beat Chun-pil.

So, Yeon-su, please persuade him.

Where is he now?

The night view here

very cool.

At first I wanted to spend

Christmas is here this year.

Yeon-su, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas first.

Merry Christmas, Uncle.

I've decided, Yeon-su.

Decide what?

I have to change cars.

This summer I will change

by camping car.

Suddenly?

I will visit

all the places I can reach.

And in an unknown place,

I will disappear there.

That means I have to follow you.

so you can't disappear.

But there's one thing holding me back.

I'm worried

g*ng-hee and Seung-eon.

If g*ng-hee could maybe

you take care of it.

What about me?

You are like a father to me.

Why did you

not worried about me?

I'm not the one holding you back?

Uncle,

can't you follow

chemotherapy treatment?

Or

At least take care of it first

I don't fit into a patient's gown.

What do you mean?

When you wear a patient's gown,

the moment your place is on the road

become a model stage.

That's because you are my fan.

I'm your child, not your fan.

You know how many

memories we made together?

When I said your guitar was cool,

you taught me to play guitar.

When I complained to you

because my friends don't want to

workout with me

because I'm fat,

you invite me to play football

and basketball together.

You talk too much.

Until you say you will

receive treatment,

just so you know,

I will not give up.

If I do chemotherapy,

My hair is all falling out.

I've worked hard

working on my hair.

g*ng-hee must not find out.

So far there is none

what I did for him.

And he recently started

can smile.

I don't want to make things difficult for him.

g*ng-hee doesn't smile.

He is in a very difficult situation right now.

So, you have to survive.

I ask.

I will take care of you

replacing g*ng-hee.

I don't want to cause you any trouble either.

I'm not having any trouble at all.

No matter how much you avoid it,

nothing will change.

You will come back again.

And I will

always waiting for you here.

I'm sorry, Yeon-su

Forgive me.

Good morning.

Yeon-su is there?

Maybe he's out?

Did he come home last night?

May be?

Mister Kwon, you are lacking

responsibility in work.

Impossible.

Brother g*ng-hee!

Yeon-su is there?

Didn't you guys go to Seoul together?

He said he asked permission to go.

a few days because of business.

According to me,

he went for a job interview.

What job interview?

He continues to look for job vacancies

as a veterinary researcher.

But I think

he has already conveyed it to you.

HANA LIVESTOCK CLINIC

g*ng HEE

Doctor Yoon.

Excuse me.

He's not here?

Nan Woo.

He's not there.

I can't do it at all

meet Han-woo.

I should have followed your words

when you said don't interfere.

I'm so embarrassed.

Why?

Han-woo even thanks you.

Is it true?

I would be grateful if he was me too.

You worry about me,

run and hold me.

Thank goodness you think like that.

You have finished

all your feelings for Yeon-su?

Why does it have to be resolved?

Of course it's not finished yet.

For me, Doctor Cheon is

You could say he's an idol.

Past, present,

and in the future,

I will continue to respect

and support it.

Then what about Han-woo?

Do you like him?

Am I

Can I like him?

Why not?

Can I?

Don't know.

Now is not the time for me to interfere.

other people's love problems.

I have so many problems myself.

Wow, who?

I've told you everything.

I won't say

to Doctor Cheon.

To Brother Han-woo too.

Hey, you like Doctor Yoon, right?

What?

You are so obvious.

No, it's not like that.

Just keep in touch

Huh? Han Ah-reum

You got kicked out?

I want to talk to him.

Okay.

Seung-eon, I've decided.

Now it's your turn.

There's something you have to do for me.

What did my mother tell you?

about orphans and junior high school graduates,

I apologize on his behalf.

Forgive me.

For others,

I can't do anything.

But for junior high school graduates,

we can do something.

I have a teacher's certificate.

I will help you

prepare for the equivalency exam.

Just think about it first.

The suitcase

What should I bring?

Excuse me, Uncle.

YEON SU

CAN WE TALK FOR A MIN TODAY?

I WENT TO THE CLINIC, YOU WERE NOT THERE

WHERE ARE YOU, YEON-SU?

Yeon-su, let's meet.

There's something I want to talk about.

Can you please contact me?

if you can call?

It seems like you think I'm selfish.

Please contact me,

I will be waiting for you.

Can we talk for a minute today?

I went to the clinic earlier, you weren't there.

Where are you, Yeon-su?

NUCLEAR RADIOLOGY

PET-CT SCANNING ROOM

Have you come?

Let's take turns.

You go, Yeon-su.

I'm the one who should be here.

I am his family.

Just consider your task done

after registering him for inpatient care.

Leave the rest to me,

his hospital colleagues took care of it.

It doesn't matter.

Go ahead. Don't worry.

I knew you would be like this,

so I bought it.

Yeon-su still can't be reached?

Responsible Ji!

The vet has arrived.

Hope you can find your adopter

before the weather gets colder.

I'm sorry I didn't care about you.

Yeon-soo,

why are you hard to contact?

Don't let g*ng-hee know.

I don't want to make things difficult for him.

I came to say something.

A lot of work

what I have to do.

Later.

We'll talk later.

Why did you come here so quickly?

Maybe he's uncomfortable seeing me.

I'm such a coward.

Want to believe Yeon-su's words

when he said it was no problem.

And when you say I should

overcome it together with Yeon-su,

I want to believe it,

even though it might be a lie.

You said Esther in a minute

leaving for America, right?

Is it okay if you eat alone?

I ordered the one that was still delicious

eaten alone.

What's the secret in this sauce?

It can be addictive.

More than g*ng-hee?

g*ng-hee says he wants to study.

went abroad with Esther.

I think that's what's best for him too.

And I intend to help him.

Where are you going?

I have to stop it.

With g*ng-hee's nature like that,

do you think the feeling will be comfortable

just with him abroad?

We can't let him live.

with guilt

and blames himself

lifetime.

I will go to see him

and said don't run.

I will hold it,

so that he can handle it by my side.

I am ready to experience hardship

and the same suffering,

even more than

that Kang-hee felt.

Study abroad?

Suddenly?

Don't dream.

Min-gu.

Hey, no way.

Go.

If you want to register your marriage,

should go to the civil office.

Why do you always come here?

Not that,

how do i do it if i want to see

history of accident investigation results?

Accident?

What kind?

Our parents' accident.

I want to see what exactly

the cause of the accident.

We have a right to know, right?

Of course there is.

Wait a moment.

For the first time, I have to ask

opened for access.

It can't be immediate.

You also have to write

request document.

Want me to help?

Yes

Wait a moment.

g*ng-hee.

I can't bear to leave you alone

in an unclear sense of guilt.

If it's true my father

died because of you,

you should take care of me, hug me,

and support for my father's part too.

Where are you running to?

Nothing is certain yet.

Whatever the outcome,

let's face it together,

while holding my hand,

beside me.

It's cold, right?

How about you?

Are you okay?

Of course.

I'm fine.

Wait a moment.

SEOUL PUREUN HOSPITAL

YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR EXAMINATION

Is this the reason you can't be contacted?

Why is this still here?

Be honest with me.

Here's how

Are you sick?

Treated?

Is the disease fatal?

Not me, but someone else.

Who is the other person?

I attended a conference in Seoul.

Then he was hit by a horse,

and his ribs were broken.

And I've experienced it before

the same thing,

so let me give you some suggestions

Just for fun,

I helped him

You.

Can't lie at all.

I do not lie.

I'm fine.

Your job as

large animal vets are very dangerous.

You be careful too.

Don't worry,

I'm the number one doctor here.

Because you are the number one doctor,

So you look for opportunities elsewhere?

I know you didn't come for the conference,

but job interviews.

Correct.

Let's no longer hide things from each other

just because of fear of worrying.

Let's not distance ourselves from each other anymore

with the reason of wanting to protect.

Don't do that again.

Yes?

Okay.

Promise?

Promise.

Mrs. Hwang.

Why did you come in?

I told you to take a break.

You don't like hotel breakfast,

then there was a dinner appointment too…

So of course I had to come.

I've been a bit busy lately.

Are you dating?

Yes…

Something like that.

Director,

please find a replacement for me.

Have you decided?

I want to start something new.

I don't like to be continuous

controlled by parents here,

don't like to hear

people's talk too.

Looks like I have to go back

to America.

Should not!

Go slowly, it's dangerous.

Why are you suddenly like this?

Are you sure you can go abroad?

without thinking about Sim-kung?

Can live as if

nothing happened?

I don't want you to live forever

with longing

and regret for Sim-kung.

So what do you think?

should i do it?

Raising Sim-kung

in Korea without a father?

His father can be found.

Esther, take a good look at yourself.

Your beauty, your intelligence,

your wealth…

You have an extraordinary charm,

Can't even find a father for Sim-kung?

The only thing missing from you…

Bad taste in choosing men.

But I can help with that.

Let's go find dad

for Sim-kung together.

What are you talking about?

You are crazy?

You want to start

something new, right?

So do it with Sim-kung.

The one who was wrong was Victor,

that b*stard!

Why even you?

who should surrender to Sim-kung?

You are not guilty at all!

Face everything with confidence!

Just like the Esther I know!

Look for a man who can

accept you as you are.

Is there a man like that?

They even queued up.

Trust me.

If you look inside,

details about the accident are complete.

And don't hesitate to ask

if there is something you don't understand.

Thank you, Min-gu.

No need to thank me.

Take care of g*ng-hee.

I go.

TRAFFIC ACCIDEN

This is a chain reaction accident

where four units of cars

across the snowy road

the slippery ones collide with each other.

The car that overturned was

your father's car.

Come on.

Is it true?

He is tall and handsome.

That is true.

I hope he comes soon.

Yeon-soo!

Good grief.

This is a family gathering

before the wedding.

Why are you here?

He is no different

with family.

I won't let go of his hand.

Should you make me

so bad person?

You don't have to be a bad person, Su-ji.

Be quiet.

Even though he knows very well

if I hate him.

But you came in here instead

holding hands?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

There's something I want to tell you.

I'll go

after conveying it to you.

But let go of Yeon-su's hand.

Let me cut off your hand!

Su-ji!

You can't do that.

Su-ji, why is your face

so it's like that?

Can flowers get angry?

and pout like this?

The flower should always smile brightly.

It is your right and responsibility.

In that case,

flowers can't be angry?

If someone makes you angry,

I'll be the one who gets angry.

So, you have to finish it by talking.

And don't frown anymore.

With soft speech.

Okay,

let's finish everything here.

Okay, please speak.

I really feel heavy.

You know, right?

Suddenly your father died

due to an accident.

Everyone started gossiping.

Plus, your father had an accident.

while cheating.

Let's not talk about that.

Because I feel so heavy,

I thought about just dying.

What?

Good grief

If I have to die,

I want to be like Thelma and Louise…

You know, right?

Thelma and Louise.

Of course I know.

I stepped on the gas as hard as I could!

Jump off a cliff,

and end it all on a high note!

But instead of reaching the cliff,

even out

from Hana Village it is not possible either.

The car just stopped.

I'm grateful.

That's help from heaven, Su-ji.

Listen first.

Ji g*ng-hee! This is all because of you!

g*ng-hee, your teddy bear…

It clogs the exhaust completely.

No wonder, all the way

I felt nauseous and almost vomited.

Mom, what you just said

That is true?

I said it's true!

How can a little kid be like that?

g*ng-hee, even though I do often

talking about your mother behind her back,

why are you taking revenge like this?

To adults too?

Since then,

I'm afraid to drive a car.

Ouch…

Thank you very much.

You really are Su-ji's life saver.

Today I can meet Su-ji,

all thanks to you.

What does it mean?

I'm sorry, Auntie…

I am wrong.

Please forgive me.

You were still small then,

no need to feel guilty like this…

Thank you mom.

Why are you all like this?

Cheon Yeon-soo.

So how?

I passed?

Mom, I hope you are happy.

Don't cry.

I don't like seeing it.

Smile.

Smile wide like a flower.

That is right.

Give it to me,

and enjoy some alone time.

Forgive me.

Sorry for saying

if you were born from a mistake.

Due to misunderstanding

if I'm the one who messed everything up.

Because I can't love you.

You're okay now, right?

Yes. I'm fine.

I love you.

Why are you crying?

Good grief!

Ouch…

Look at this, it's very thick and heavy.

I don't keep cows

to make money.

I'm looking for money

so that we can raise cows.

Is Chiltteng your son?

Pet?

If you are already raising cattle,

yes it must be sold.

Gosh, it's so luxurious.

Hey, let's eat.

I think all your words

about organic,

and the welfare of the animal

just a crap…

But from now on,

I'm counting on you, Han-woo.

Only father eats a lot.

In the future

Don't be too affectionate with cows!

I miss you, Chiltteng!

Good morning!

Bbinggu!

Kkomak!

I shouldn't raise cattle.

I didn't know it would be this hard

Doctor Yoon.

You miss them, right?

Where did you start hearing from?

Have you heard?

I've heard it for a while now

at the restaurant.

I miss Chiltteng too

just like you.

But I understand how you feel.

Because I also think

the same as you.

That is true.

Research animals also

already have their own destiny.

When I have such worries,

there is one thing that was once said

by Doctor Choen.

Even though fate says

we will die tomorrow,

at least today we have to live

quietly,

and do your best.

Chiltteng…

While staying at your farm,

surely he is happy.

Thank you, Nan-woo.

That really cheered me up.

In that case,

do you want to treat me to a meal?

Yes

I haven't finished eating yet,

leave my friend

and instead followed you out.

Of course I have to treat.

Come on

Come on.

Is there anything you want to eat?

Everything except beef.

Besides beef?

In that case

Mr. Chun-pil has arrived.

Let him rest.

It is late.

There is something I want to say

to Chun-pil.

Mr. Chun-pil, you've come.

Hello.

I have a request.

Thank you for being you

I have a request.

I hope you can help.

Yes.

Please adopt Seung-eon.

He is my brother, not an orphan.

Thank you for saying that.

Dad always thinks about this,

but never dared

tell you.

This isn't a difficult request, right?

Absolutely not.

Just go to the village office

and submit an application.

It's that easy?

Not changing the family name,

just write it down on the family card.

If it were that easy,

should have been done from the start.

I feel bad for him.

I'm so sleepy now

because of taking medication.

But I still have to say it.

If I die…

His inheritance must be divided

with Seung-eon.

Are you okay?

That's not allowed.

You better use them all

until finished.

Live long and be healthy.

Okay.

Are you going?

No, the floor is hard.

What is this?

Of course medicine, what else?

What medicine?

If you get older,

the pain is everywhere.

But because I'm lazy,

so I just took it all at once.

Yeon-su, come out.

Yes

Have you ever heard?

Is Mr. Chun-pil sick?

No, never.

There are a lot of medicines in his room.

Like everyday food.

Is it true?

It's not a deadly disease, right?

There's no way Uncle would do that.

Hurry in and rest.

Have a good night's sleep.

TREATMENT SCHEDULE

Have you packed everything?

Okay, Uncle.

Come on up.

Okay.

Good.

Jin-ah.

You work here?

Yes, it's been a while.

I saw your father and Yeon-su coming.

Do you know why they came?

They do come often.

Yeon-su's grandfather used to be treated here.

Even though he ended up moving hospitals.

If it's a holiday,

Uncle also appears here.

Your father is an idol for the elders

who are treated here.

Come in.

Your hair is getting longer.

Yes, the volume is also getting bigger.

You look younger.

Oh my gosh, did you eat something?

which is good for hair?

Give me some too.

What kind of hair do you want?

Beautiful?

Have I ever?

doesn't make you beautiful?

- No matter what you do, you are always beautiful.

- He comes over every now and then to help.

Yeon-su also comes once a month.

Even though he talks a lot,

his hands are like MacGyver.

Everything can be fixed by him.

Heating, electricity, engines,

he can fix everything.

You eat what's good for your hair, huh?

Give me some too.

I

don't know anything.

At all.

Because you don't live here.

That means you don't know about this either.

Their funeral photos.

Some are already on display,

and will be displayed.

Nice picture.

Who took the photo?

Cha Seung Eon.

The Cha Seung-eon I know?

Is there another Cha Seung-eon?

At first it was Uncle's job.

But it seems he has already given

the task is on Seung-eon.

Ouch!

Oh my gosh, sir!

Why?

I told you to just talk

if you want to go.

Slowly.

Where are you going?

On the registration form

this hospitalization,

please fill in all of the names

Dad has been eyeing this room for a long time.

Come on in, come on in, come on in! So cool!

Why are you targeting him?

Even though you own the California Motel

the one you love to death.

You've seen the movie Troy, right?

In that movie,

The gods are said to be jealous of humans.

Why?

Because they can't die.

Death is really interesting.

Mr. Chun-pil, are you going to die?

Oh my gosh, and you?

Won't you die?

Good grief!

All humans will die.

That is life.

Because there is an end,

then there is also beauty.

So, Mr. Chun-pil
