He’s unhurt, but the other driver was badly injured, and the victim’s family is threatening to put Dad in jail unless they settle, demanding six million won (roughly $6,000). Ha-won meets with Stepmom and Stepsis who tell her that Dad fell asleep at the wheel and caused an accident. Over the next few days, Grandpa watches from afar as Ha-won stays by Ji-woon’s side, taking care of him.
Turning serious, Grandpa asks, “Even if you find yourself in a position where you really need money, even if you get a chance to escape your dreary reality, do you think you’ll still be able to give up on everything and choose Ji-woon?” He says that if she can’t take responsibility for her feelings till the end, then she should stop now. She tells Grandpa that she doesn’t care about her future, or money, she just wants to stay by Ji-woon’s side. Ha-won apologizes, saying that she was going to leave right after the surgery, but now she asks to stay. Grandpa has Ha-won wheel him back to his room, and along the way, he says that he thought she would have left by now. Both Hyun-min and Ha-won step back as Grandpa gazes sadly at his comatose grandson. Now that he’s recovered, Grandpa finds out the truth about Ji-woon’s condition, and Hyun-min wheels him to Ji-woon’s room. Soon, she started looking for him whenever she needed help, and before she knew it, she only had eyes for him. She chuckles that he was a real asshole in the beginning, but whenever she was in trouble, he was always there. Still by Ji-woon’s side, Ha-won tells his unconscious form of how she came to like him. He enters the room and leaves Lee alone in the hallway looking like a kicked puppy. Lee bows deeply to Grandpa and leaves.īodyguard Lee runs into Hyun-min in the hallway, who snidely remarks that Lee doesn’t have the right to face Grandpa. Lee takes the blame for everything, asks Grandpa not to punish his mother, and thanks him for everything. Lee apologizes and comes clean that Hwa-ja is his mother, shocking Grandpa. Grandpa Kang coldly accepts Bodyguard Lee’s resignation, and tells him to deliver divorce papers to Hwa-ja. Ha-won says that her biggest regret is that she never even got to tell him how she truly felt, but Seo-woo reassures her that Ji-woon probably knew. She was always worried about when she’d have to leave him, but now, all she can think about are all the things they never got to do together. Seo-woo joins her and Ha-won admits that she never once considered that Ji-woon would leave her. Hooked up to a number of machines, Ji-woon lies unconscious with Ha-won by his side. At Hyun-min’s head shake, the doctor lies that Ji-woon is in another room recovering. The doctor says the transplant was a success, but Grandpa wants to know if Ji-woon is alright. Grandpa awakens with Seo-woo and Hyun-min around him. Ha-won half-collapses in shock, and Hyun-min catches her as they both reel from the news.
Hyun-min asks if Ji-woon will wake up, but the doctor can only answer that they’ll have to monitor him closely. The doctor reveals Ji-woon’s allergy to general anesthesia, telling them that Ji-woon was fully aware this might happen and still wanted to proceed regardless. He informs them that Grandpa Kang’s surgery was a success, but sadly, Ji-woon fell into shock. Just as she tells him that Ji-woon still hasn’t come out of surgery, Grandpa’s doctor emerges. Ha-won is pacing outside the surgery room when Hyun-min runs up. Resigned, Lee answers, “This was the only way that I could stop you.” Hwa-ja yells back that he betrayed his own mother to protect Grandpa Kang and “those brats” before storming out of the room. Hwa-ja angrily asks why he did it, knowing that his vote swung the results. Meanwhile, there’s trouble in Ji-woon’s surgery room, as all the doctors frantically work amidst bloody rags and the chorus of beeping machines.īack in the boardroom, Hwa-ja and Bodyguard Lee are the only ones left. Looks like Grandpa will remain as Chairman. Hwa-ja’s face freezes in shock, and Hyun-min breaks into a relieved smile. The results of the vote are in: 46% for ousting Grandpa Kang, 52% against it.
