Ha-yun, is that you?
Mom.
Ha-yun!
Gather the school disciplinary committee.
Rather than taking this case that far,
can we have the kids apologize and make up instead?
Do you honestly think an apology will be enough?
Schedule it quickly.
I'll go to the Office of Education, or anywhere necessary, if not!
Look, Ju-yeong, please listen to me.
Ha-yun.
Kids, no running.
It took a while. Sorry about that.
Let's go, okay?
Oh, just a second.
What is it, Mr. Oh?
I didn't send you the final draft?
It must've slipped my mind.
Well, then, I'll…
I'll go to the print shop right now. Right, sorry about that.
Going into work again?
I have a presentation today.
It really won't take long, okay?
Two to three hours?
Maybe not even that long. I'll make it quick, okay?
Ju-yeong!
I'm really sorry. Ji-min wants to apologize.
I have nothing to say, so just leave.
Come on! Tell her you're sorry.
Don't you know you're hurting my daughter even further? Please, just leave.
Okay.
I'll come by sometime later.
Ha-yun.
DAILY DOSE OF SUNSHINE
Mom.
Oh my, I'm sorry.
Did I wake you?
I have a headache.
I have a fever, don't I?
Well, I'm not so sure.
I think I might have a fever. I don't want to go to kindergarten today.
Eun-u, you don't have a fever.
Gosh, I'm going to be late for work.
Maybe she should take a day off.
No, it'll become a habit.
Eun-u.
Tell your teacher if your head still hurts at kindergarten, okay?
Hmm?
Feed the kids breakfast, and double-check Jin-u's school supplies, okay?
By the way, Jin-u seems to be falling behind a little in math.
Why don't we find another tutor for him?
She's pretty well-known among the moms. It's Jin-u who can't keep up.
If you're so worried, why don't you help him?
It's not like I don't want to. I'm just saying this because I'm worried.
All you do is worry. I'm the one who actually does something about it.
Whoa, Mom.
- Mom, are you just arriving? - Yeah.
Mom, I made some soup and fried rice.
Make sure they eat their veggies. Eun-u's constipated. Thanks.
- Soo-yeon. - Huh? Yes?
Once I've sent your kids off, can I go over to your sister's house?
Soo-jin called.
She's so worried that her kid's sick.
You can't just spring this on me.
What about my kids in the afternoon?
So, my kids stay home alone until I get off work?
Can't you ask your husband to take a half-day off today, just this once?
Come on, Mom!
I'm the one who pays you!
You should be watching my kids, not Soo-jin's.
You don't have to speak so harshly.
It's not like I'm going there for fun.
If I'd known you'd do this, I'd have found a proper sitter!
Do whatever you want!
Soo-yeon!
Why did you talk to her like that?
Sorry…
Mom.
READY TO MAKE A TRANSFER TO MS. OH KWANG-HEE?
TRANSFER COMPLETE
Mom, I sent you this month's pay.
Oh God!
You've lost it. What were you thinking, Jung Da-eun?
What am I going to do?
Oh, please. Hurry up, please!
Ms. Jung?
Huh? Oh, hello, Dr. Dong.
Good morning.
Right.
You running late?
Yes. Oh no…
Is that right?
Taxi!
No, Dr. Dong. I'll be late if I take a cab.
Whenever I get a taxi, the bus arrives.
- So I'll get a taxi. Taxi! - What?
I'm grasping at straws here, I'll take any help I can get.
Wow, Jung Da-eun, you've really done it, seriously.
Taxi!
Hey, Song Yu-chan!
Hey, Jungda.
- Running late? - Yes!
I'm headed that way. Hop on, I'll give you a ride.
- Seriously? - Yes, hurry on, come on.
- Dr. Dong, I'm running late, so… - We'll speed along between the cars.
- I'll get going first. - It's faster than a taxi. You're set.
- Sorry, only room for one. See you. - Let's go!
- Bye. - Let's go!
Ms. Min.
Didn't you see me? I was waiting for you in front of the hospital.
I didn't.
Shall we meet up this evening?
I'm sorry.
Wait…
What is it this time?
Hey, it's great to have a friend like you.
The best thing I did in my life was become your friend.
- I'm off. - Hey, wait.
Your hair's a mess.
Look at you, sweet guy.
Bye.
Go away, then. Go!
Shoo!
Sweet guy, huh?
Made of sugar?
Good morning. Huh?
Mr. Kim, what are you doing here?
Is something bothering you?
Oh, hello, Mediator.
Please tell me if something's wrong.
It would seem
I've encountered a fate that should've been avoided at all costs.
That fate is
dragging me into a painful and difficult battle.
I see.
You've overcome many uphill battles so far.
I'm sure you'll manage fine this time too.
I sure hope so.
Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.
Bye, then, Mediator.
See you.
I don't even know what to say,
but this is ridiculous.
No need to get serious, but we're not on friendly terms either.
Any intention of giving up on her?
What about you?
Nope.
Honestly, I would've rooted for you if it weren't Da-eun.
I know. Of all people…
Why haven't you asked her out yet?
Some healthy competition coming along to disturb your friendship
tends to be a pretty good wake-up call.
"Can I really let this girl go?"
That cues the ill-conceived last-minute bid at love…
followed by rejection.
So you end up losing her as a friend and watching her from afar.
That's where your relationship could head.
I've had countless opportunities, but I…
I never got the timing right, that's all.
Timing is the most difficult thing in the world.
Look.
You know I have the upper hand, right?
Da-eun and I share a history, something you sorely lack.
Yu-chan, the past holds no sway over the present.
Well, Go-yun.
Just watch. I'll turn the past into the present.
Man, that was some hardcore cringe.
Forget that last part. I'm off.
Cringe.
We're upping the dose gradually.
Gradually, right?
- Is he sleeping well? - Yes.
But he's wet the bed the last couple of nights.
- When did that start? - Three days ago, I think.
Need help?
Since he was put on the new medication, I see.
Urinary incontinence may be a side effect of the medication.
I'll ask the doctor to see if we can put him on a different medication.
- Thank you. - No problem.
- Are those new patient gowns? - Oh, yes.
Wow, what a nice batch! The colors came out great.
This is Unit 53.
Yes, Ms. Kim Ji-u has an appointment today.
Okay, I've switched it to 3 p.m. today.
- Is Ms. Jung still not... - Here, Ms. Park.
Oh, hey there.
Hello.
Thank you.
APPROVAL DENIED
You can only make deposits,
not withdrawals, right now.
You basically can't access any of the money in your account.
But I need the money right away. I have bills to pay.
As I told you earlier,
there's no way other than completely paying off your loan.
- Thank you. - Sure.
What?
Oh, Eun-u has a fever?
Yes, I think she should go home.
Oh…
I'm so sorry,
but there's no one to pick her up right now.
Mom.
Mom, listen, here's the thing.
The kindergarten just told me Eun-u has a fever.
What's got Soo-jin so tied up that you took her kid to the doctor?
Christ! Okay, I'm hanging up. All right, I get it!
SEO-JUN'S MOM
Hi, it's me.
I'm so sorry, but could you take Eun-u home from kindergarten right now?
The thing is, she's sick,
but I'm at work, so I can't pick her up right now.
Yes, please. Thank you.
Right, thank you so much. Thank you.
Being a working mom must be hard, seeing Ms. Park the Great struggle so.
Have you been eavesdropping on others recently?
I didn't try to eavesdrop on you, so please don't get the wrong idea.
By the way, isn't the stapler here? I thought I saw it.
Oh, is that a new blouse?
Is it comfortable though? Wearing that while treating patients?
I value my social life as much as work.
And I should wear pretty clothes while I'm still young and fit, right?
How about changing up your style, Ms. Park?
I know you make enough to invest in yourself.
You'll get it if you get married, Dr. Cha.
It's more rewarding to spend money on your family than on yourself.
Is that so?
Yes.
Oh, there you are.
Bye, then.
Bye.
How on earth did someone like that become a psychiatrist?
I see you were first diagnosed with depression
at Gusan Hospital, Ms. Shin Ha-yun.
And you want to be admitted.
They said they didn't have a bed for her and told us to come here.
From a legal guardian's standpoint, was your daughter suicidal or violent?
No, nothing like that.
If that's the case, I don't think she needs to be admitted.
Oh, really?
That's great news,
but will my Ha-yun be all right?
Admittance to the Psychiatry Unit could cause a sudden spike in her anxiety.
I recommend she comes in for regular treatment for now.
Okay.
Thank you, Doctor. Thank you.
Oh, sorry. I'm getting a call.
I thought I got a call, but I guess not.
Doctor?
Where were we?
I recommended that she comes in for regular treatment for now.
Oh, right. You're right.
By the way, ma'am…
did you sleep well last night?
My Ha-yun doesn't seem to sleep well these days...
Not Ha-yun. I mean you.
When was the last time you slept well?
My child isn't well, you know.
I don't usually get to spend much time with her,
so I wanted to be by her side at night, at least.
Is anything in your daily life bothering you?
Well…
Not particularly, no.
I think it would be good for you to talk to a doctor too, ma'am.
What?
HANSAEM SUPERMARKET
That was one weird woman.
I'm completely fine. How dare she…
Hi, honey. Did you take the afternoon off?
Oh, you're almost home?
Could you come to the supermarket, then?
Take Ha-yun with you. I have to go back to work.
The print shop has asked for it by 3:30.
Keep them on hold. I'm on my way.
We can't keep them from working to print ours first.
I'll be there soon.
Huh? Is that Ji-min's mom?
God, I'm glad I ran into you.
Huh?
I heard all about it.
There's a group chat for moms whose kids won the competition, right?
Can you talk the other moms into letting me join as well?
I'd hate for people to blame Ha-yun's falling behind
on her having a working mom.
How is Ha-yun doing?
You know, the same as usual.
Honey! What are you doing?
I have to go.
Huh? What's the rush?
Jesus, why are you yelling?
What's wrong with you?
Why were you smiling while talking to that woman?
That's Ji-min's mother.
Her daughter bullied our Ha-yun!
What?
Mom…
Whoa, Ju-yeong!
How could I forget…
Honey, what's going on?
Honey.
I'm sorry. You go ahead and take Ha-yun home.
Go home.
Please do this for me.
How could you?
Her daughter hurt your child…
You crazy woman.
MYUNGSHIN UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
Why so serious?
If a girl…
went so far as to share a kiss with you,
but then acted as if nothing happened, what would you say to that?
Could it be a temporary dissociative symptom?
Dissociation?
Well, it's that the situation was so shocking
or so appalling that it caused her temporary memory loss.
- Maybe it was a bad kiss. - That's also likely.
You guys don't know anything!
Damn it!
What's with him?
Eun-u's fever broke, but she keeps asking for you.
Will you be late?
Ms. Park, did you check the schedule?
Yes, I did.
Oh, I saw you gave me the whole weekend off. Thank you.
You won't get to rest anyway. Moms are just as busy on days off.
Well, it's not like I'm the only one.
Knowing how much you work, I wish I could do more for you…
Right, then could I take a half-day off today?
What for?
Hello.
Oh, hello, Dr. Dong.
I came to check on Mr. Kim Seo-wan. He isn't in his room.
Mr. Kim Seo-wan?
- Ms. Jung's patient? - Yes.
- Oh, Ms. Jung. - Yes?
Did you remind Mr. Kim about his appointment today?
I certainly did.
Huh? Then could Mr. Kim be somewhere else?
Why? He should be in his room right now.
He wasn't there.
Huh?
He was here when I came by with his morning medication.
When did Mr. Kim Seo-wan leave the room?
He was packing his bag earlier.
His bag?
Was there anything off about Mr. Kim?
He did seem more depressed today than usual.
Mr. Kim, what are you doing here?
I'm more concerned due to his symptoms of delusion.
Go and gather other staff, Ms. Jung.
Yes, Ms. Park.
SEO-JUN'S MOM
- Ms. Park! - Yes?
Ms. Park will be here soon.
Ms. Min, let security know what's going on and search the consulting rooms.
Ms. Hong, comb through the unit again.
Ms. Jung, find Mr. Yoon and go with him. Call me as soon as you find Mr. Kim.
- Yes. - Yes, Ms. Park.
Ms. Song, I'll go check the CCTV.
Okay, I'll call his guardian, just in case.
Mr. Kim Seo-wan!
Mr…
- Hello, Doctor. - Hello.
Have you seen a patient in his late-20s with matted hair and glasses?
- I haven't. - Okay.
Mr. Kim Seo-wan?
He's not here.
Just a second.
Sorry.
Hello? Is this Mr. Kim Seo-wan's father?
Yes, this is Myungshin University Medical Center.
Huh? Mr. Yoon.
You must be busy.
It's just that Eun-u won't stop crying.
Can you give her a quick video call?
Our security cameras cover from this area to this area, but…
He isn't on any of the security cameras. I just checked.
Oh, really?
- Yes. - In that case…
We have security guards from here to here, so he wouldn't have gone this way.
And I called all the cleaning ladies, but they didn't see him either.
That
leaves us with this area.
That's the way to the rooftop.
You don't think Mr. Kim…
- Ms. Jung! - Ms. Jung!
Oh, sorry, Doctor. I'm sorry.
Coming through!
- Oh. Ms. Jung! - Dr. Dong!
- Have you found Mr. Kim? - I need to check the rooftop.
Mr. Kim Seo-wan!
Ms. Jung!
Huh? Mr. Kim Seo-wan!
Mediator.
Were you here the whole time?
I'm sorry. I must have made you worry a lot.
How about we all go down? Let me help you.
I can't!
I'm totally tapped out on mana right now.
- Mediator. - Yes?
Could you get me a glass of Ambrosia?
Yes, please hang on. I'll go get it right away.
You know how when we were little,
we used to whine to our moms that we were hurting,
even though it didn't really hurt that badly?
Then once our moms took a look, it would strangely hurt less, you know?
Moms acknowledging our pain was enough to make it hurt less. Right?
Well, I think so.
The doctors, nurses, and staff here at the hospital
were all carefully handpicked
for those exact characteristics of a nurturing mother.
If you're in pain, you can whine and throw a fit.
Do whatever you'd like.
But in exchange, tell us exactly where it hurts.
If you do that,
I, your healer, will team up with the Mediator to…
I'll…
serve you with my best effort.
I'm really sorry, Mediator.
You heard what Dr. Dong said, right?
Please let us know if something bothers you again.
After all, we're here by your side so that you can tell us those things.
Then…
could I tell you in more detail?
Of course.
What's been bothering you?
Dong Go-yun speaking.
Hello, Dr. Dong. This is Jung Da-eun.
Ms. Jung?
Yes, may I ask where you are right now?
I'm right outside the Psychiatry Unit.
Oh.
I'll be right out, then.
Right now?
Yes, wait a minute.
Why is she asking to see me?
Thank you.
Have a good day.
Hey, Ms. Jung.
- Hello. - How did you know my number?
I asked the Colorectal Unit.
Oh, I see.
Is this your number?
- Yes. - I should save it, then.
- Dr. Dong. - Yes, Ms. Jung?
Mr. Kim Seo-wan asked me to relay a message to you.
Me?
I wonder what he said.
Mr. Kim asked to have a new colorectal surgeon.
He said your fingers were too thick and that they hurt his bottom too much.
So, this was all my fault?
- What's up? - Hey, Jungda.
I'm outside the hospital. Let's meet up. I have something to tell you.
I'm kind of busy right now.
It won't take long.
Then come to the fifth-floor garden.
300 SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED ROBOTIC COLORECTAL CANCER SURGERY
DR. DONG GO-YUN
Bring it down another 5 cm. Just a little more.
Don't move that side.
Yup.
Just a little more to the right.
Lower. Right. That's good.
Let's level out a bit more.
Oh, just a bit lower.
The only way to go from friends to lovers is
to ask them out.
But it has to be done at the right moment.
Hey.
I have a crush on someone.
- Who? - Your friend, Jung Da-eun.
What?
Are you nuts? Why her, of all people?
She's cute.
Hey!
Are you feeling okay?
Pass it!
Jung Da-eun?
Back then, I was too young to know how I truly felt about her.
Why isn't she out yet?
Hey, Jungda!
And when I had figured it out, it was already too late.
TO DA-EUN
Hey, Songyu!
How come you got here first?
- I have something to give you. - Huh?
Huh?
By the time I wanted to ask her out,
we were already too comfortable as friends.
Yay.
Hey, do this.
One, two, three.
One, two. Damn it, I can't.
APPLICANTS ADMITTED TO MYUNGSHIN UNIVERSITY
Huh? Hey, Song Yu-chan!
Yeah! I got in!
I said I'd grant you a wish if you got in.
So, what's your wish?
Right, my wish is…
Done.
Happy birthday. What should I get you?
Hey, Songyu.
Did you ask Santa for anything?
Just treat me to a meal.
Just a meal. Hey, just a meal.
Just treat me to a meal.
I was afraid she might not feel the same way,
and we couldn't even remain friends if I asked her out.
Oh, hey, when did you get here?
Just now.
God, I've been so tense all day that I must've dozed off for a bit.
Oh my God!
I have to go wrap up.
Right, you had something to say. What is it?
- Oh, it's nothing. It can wait. - You sure?
- Yeah. - Hey, sorry. I have to go.
Okay, I'll…
But it's fine.
Today was just another of many missed opportunities…
after all.
SEO-JUN'S MOM (6)
- Great work today, ma'am. - You too.
Is Eun-u okay?
I should go see her now.
After a hard day at work, you're clocking in at home now.
Ms. Oh Ri-na's guardian is coming tomorrow to get medical records.
It's the record evaluation season.
- Please check carefully. - Okay.
- Good work today. - Thank you.
Huh?
What is it?
Ms. Park left in her work shoes.
Huh?
I didn't know she could be absent-minded.
Oh, sorry, coming through.
Mom.
Goodness, my baby.
Gosh, I'm really sorry.
- I owe you, seriously. - No problem.
Mommy's smell…
Oh, do I smell nice?
Oh, Seo-jun likes cake rolls, right? Here.
- Gosh, you didn't have to. - Oh, come on, please take it.
- Thanks, I'll call you. - Okay, get home safe.
- Thank you. - Get home safe.
Honey!
Let's take off your shoes.
Honey?
Honey!
Jin-u!
Jin-u?
Jin-u, where's Dad?
- Huh? - Dad.
He went to get Eun-u.
Call your dad for me.
Okay, I will.
Mom.
Yes?
Why did you come so late?
I'm sorry.
I had so many sick people at the hospital.
But I'm sick too.
Mom, I'm sick, too, and you're a nurse.
Why wouldn't you nurse me?
Let's go to sleep.
I'll be here until you fall asleep.
You could've told me you were picking up Eun-u.
Did you give Jin-u dinner?
No, I picked him up late. I haven't eaten yet either.
He keeps eating stuff like this because you don't feed him.
Oh, right…
There are these tutoring coordinators nowadays.
They could even find tutors that cater to Jin-u's needs.
Ask the other moms if you don't know about this stuff.
I hear they have group chats and stuff.
Do you know what it takes to join those group chats?
You first have to get permission from every single mother in it,
then treat them to a meal as thanks.
If you don't wanna be labeled an info-sucking working mom,
you have to take turns babysitting the other kids.
I'd do it myself if they let dads join, but that's just not the vibe in there.
I'd have to be checking messages all day long while working.
Look, it would go off all the time.
I'd feel bad if I didn't answer and worse if my response got no response.
Well, everyone else is doing it. Can we really sit this out?
I'm walking on eggshells all the time.
I'm doing the best I can too.
So don't you dare add to that as well!
You don't have to speak so harshly.
You haven't eaten?
Just cook up some ramyeon noodles.
I'll go wash up.
MOM
Mom, were you sleeping?
You're coming tomorrow, right?
Huh? You can't?
But why?
Why didn't Soo-jin ask you for help from the outset?
She knows you're supposed to be covering for us.
Forget it. Don't ever come to my house again.
I think a part of me is broken.
It felt as though
everything I knew was disappearing without a trace.
Have you heard of pseudodementia?
"Pseudodementia…"
Goodness, do you mean I have dementia?
Well, pseudodementia means fake dementia.
The symptoms are similar,
but it's a functional disorder without brain lesions.
It causes memory loss and loss of focus.
It develops more acutely and progresses faster than real dementia.
Gosh, but why would I have…
The cause is depression.
Oh, no. I'm far from depressed.
Some people are too busy to realize that they have depression.
Have you ever felt tired, lethargic, or like you were losing your focus?
Well,
I just brushed it off, thinking I was overworked,
so I thought some rest would make it all go away.
You shouldn't neglect it.
Pseudodementia symptoms mostly disappear if you get treated for depression.
Why don't you get admitted as an inpatient for intensive care?
But what about my Ha-yun?
She's already sick as it is.
- If her mom ends up in a mental insti... - What if you forget Ha-yun too?
You should get well before even the most precious thing
fades from your memory.
Look, my mom couldn't come today. You were gonna take care of Eun-u at home.
But how could you suddenly go to work?
I can't help it either.
Mr. Kim messed up big time, so I have to go in to sort things out.
Why do you have to be the one to go?
You'd do the same if it were you.
So stop yelling at me and just…
Can't you ask Seo-jun's mom?
Are you out of your damn mind?
Hey, it's me. How's Seo-jun?
Oh.
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
Oh God! Thank you.
God, thank you so much.
No, I won't be that late today.
So you finish up and head home quickly...
Ms. Park, an outpatient is going to be admitted. Please take care of it.
Hold on. Doctor, I'm busy. Please ask someone else.
Am I to track the nurses down myself?
Ms. Kwon, did you voluntarily ask to be admitted today?
Well, yes.
Okay, let me explain the process to you.
Please have a seat.
You can change into this gown.
Here are the hospital rules.
This is when the doctors come by.
Am I allowed to use my cell phone?
Yes, the open ward allows cell phones.
Then, could I make a call really quickly?
Of course.
Hey, Mr. Oh, what's going on?
Oh, that?
Of course, I designed a new one and wrote up the script too.
Yeah, just read off it during the presentation.
Please take care of this for me.
I'm really sorry, okay?
Bye.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
And…
- Oh, I'm sorry. Just one more call. - Sure.
Hey, Ha-yun, how are you feeling?
Oh, that's great. Okay.
Me?
I'm fine.
Of course. Nothing to worry about.
Right, don't worry.
Wait, Ha-yun,
I got the number for a tutoring coordinator in Gangnam.
You know Eun-jeong who went to SNU, right?
Apparently, she owes it to this person.
Yes.
Oh, her name?
It's Ms. Sung In-yeong.
Right, yes.
Right, so how was it?
Yes.
Ah, I see. Did you have time to contact the coordinator?
Ha-yun.
I don't mean you have to start right now.
But you'll have to study anyway.
I think we'll have to restrict Ms. Kwon's phone usage.
So suddenly?
It's not like she's causing her family any harm.
Other than her frequent calls, Ms. Kwon's doing fine in the ward.
Not to mention how the patients filed a complaint
for their communication rights.
It's too much.
To focus on her treatment, we have no choice.
Don't let her have her phone, and restrict her public phone usage.
Yes, Doctor.
She never says, "Please." Like it's so hard to say.
Why can't I use my phone? Why?
The doctor deemed it beneficial for your treatment.
Do you have kids?
Yes, I do.
Then you must know how much kids need their mother's care.
As I said,
this is the time for you to focus on yourself, Ms. Kwon.
I'm anxious enough as it is, leaving Ha-yun alone like this.
Not to mention the project being stalled at work without me.
It's your doctor's order.
Since you were admitted voluntarily, you must comply with your doctor.
Do you understand?
She's also restricted your access to public phones.
Huh?
Excuse me.
My phone has gone missing.
You gave it to me earlier.
It's right here.
Right.
So I did.
I'd like you to give this treatment a go.
How would you like to work on an autobiography?
An autobiography?
How though? I wouldn't know where to begin.
Ms. Kwon, I'd like for you to cover the most impactful events in your life.
They could be childhood memories,
your first love, job, marriage, anything you'd like.
But be sure to focus on how you felt rather than the flow of events.
I felt such and such during this event, and so on.
Write down your emotions in those exact moments.
Why don't we start with about ten pages?
Ten pages?
You did very well.
The thing is,
it was really hard at first,
but once I got the ball rolling, I just kept on going.
Right?
Could you highlight the sections
where you expressed your negative emotions in your writings?
Negative…
It's fine even if it's slightly negative.
Okay.
FELT SAD
I WAS SCARED
FELT AWKWARD FELT ISOLATED
FELT BAD FELT FRUSTRATED
FELT WORSE
How does it feel to see all that?
Well,
there weren't many in the beginning,
but the number of highlights increased after I had my child.
That's right.
Did I really have such a hard life?
You must've always put your family and work before yourself.
So you probably didn't know what to do even if you had some downtime,
let alone had the time to check your feelings either.
You're right.
Then the incident with Ha-yun happened.
You must've taken on your child's misfortune as your own
and worried that you may have ruined Ha-yun's life as well as your own.
It's called metacognition.
This exercise
helps you to understand your train of thought
and reflect on which factors made you feel bad.
The strength to look back on your emotions cannot be overstated.
Think of it as your emotions having muscles.
As we exercise to become healthier,
we must train our minds for the same outcome.
"Emotions have muscles"?
Let's work together to make these highlighted parts disappear.
That should help you recover your memory and focus.
Hey, it's me, Jin-u's mom.
Did you ask the other moms in the group chat?
Oh, they said no?
No, it's fine. I totally understand, I do.
In that case,
what if I treat the moms to a meal?
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Right, thank you. Bye.
Ms. Park, I'm taking Ms. Na in Room 510 to her test.
Make sure Won-mi has lunch after that. And you, too, Ms. Jung.
What about you? I know you didn't eat breakfast.
You go ahead.
Let me take care of things. You should go eat fir...
- Take her to get the tests. - Ah…
Yes, this is Park Soo-yeon, Unit 53.
Hello, Doctor. Yes.
Mr. Oh Jae-guk is acting out, asking for cigarettes.
Just a moment.
Call Dr. Kong, and ask Mr. Yoon to escort him to the seclusion room now.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, Doctor. I'll call you back after I check on it.
She is just like me.
Ms. Kwon, your blood pressure is normal at 110 over 70.
You said you had kids, right?
Oh, I did.
Balancing work and childcare isn't easy, is it?
Well, no. It isn't.
How old is your daughter, Ms. Kwon?
She's in eighth grade.
Ah.
She must have a lot of studying to do.
May I ask what kind of classes she takes?
Well, it's about the same as other kids.
She has after-school classes and private lessons.
The tutoring coordinator you talked about on the phone,
could you introduce me to her too?
Oh, yes. I'll give you her number later.
Thank you.
Back in the day, I also bent over backward,
currying favor with the moms in the group chat to get invited.
The moment I got invited, it felt as though I'd been exonerated.
I hadn't been a bad mom,
but that was the crowning achievement of my life as a mom for sure.
That thought still stands to this day.
That's exactly how I feel right now.
I feel like I'm being a bad mom.
How old are your kids?
I have a third-grader
and a kindergartener.
People not in the know would see us as overbearing moms,
making a fuss over such little kids.
I work extra hard
to not give anyone an excuse to blame it on my being a working mom.
But
it's hard.
More than anything, though, I feel so terrible for my kids.
But it's not like I can quit my job.
If I'm making money…
If I'm making money, I could get her a better tutor with my income.
I don't want to be short on money when they really need my support later on.
They say that these days moms' communities are important.
Working moms have no access to information and tend to get left out.
And kids can't make friends if their moms are not a part of those communities.
What if my baby
can't even make friends because of me?
It's all I'm really living for.
Working hard to give my child
a better shot at life.
Don't push yourself so hard.
You will suffer.
Even after you've given them everything, you'll only beat yourself up
over the things you've missed
and blame yourself for everything.
The guilt will eat you up.
You won't even realize that you're wilting away.
Your life will be covered in yellow lights.
But you won't even notice that life is telling you to slow down.
You'll end up turning a blind eye
to your own happiness
for your child's happiness.
But…
how would you make anyone else happy if you're not happy yourself?
Oh goodness, I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
It's fine.
You worked so hard, didn't you?

- Ms. Park. - Yes?
Please encourage Ms. Kwon to take a stroll every morning.
Sure, I'll ask her guardian to accompany her.
By the way, are you doing okay, Ms. Park?
Of course. Why do you ask?
How about you try writing an autobiography?
Why would I do that?
You look close to breaking.
THE DAY JIN-U GOT HURT
I COULDN'T GO SEE JIN-U SO I WAS HEARTBROKEN
REFUSED TO PERFORM NURSE DUTIES OUTSIDE OF WORK IN MY OWN HOME
What are you doing, Mom?
I have a day off tomorrow.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes. Jin-u, once you're up tomorrow, get yourself ready and go to school.
You're now old enough to do that alone, okay?
Eun-u, brush your teeth, wash up, and get dressed once you're up.
Daddy will take you to kindergarten.
So, where exactly are you going?
I'm sure you can manage one day without me, can't you?
Don't call me.
I won't pick up.
What?
Hey, Soo-jin. It's me.
Just letting you know Mom can't come to your house tomorrow.
Hey, don't you dare call me!
Seriously!
So tired of this.
Mom.
- This is a hotel. - Yeah.
Why are we here at this hour?
Thank you.
Mom, it's about time we treated ourselves to a night at a place like this.
We'll get some sun in the morning,
take a walk, and eat food that other people prepared for us.
I heard they have a great spa here.
Mom, I make a lot of money, you know.
And, Mom…
I'm sorry,
thank you,
and I love you.
