Wonderful Nightmare Page #6

---

I'll teach you

what you have to do.

Lower your head

and apologize, a**hole!

Will it be okay?

Don't worry.

I made an offer

they can't refuse.

Immediate transfer,

official apology,

and compensation.

Honestly,

you felt like a stranger,

and odd at times,

but now I'm sure

you're my mother.

You were pretty cool.

You'll keep folding bags, right?

Come on! Mood spoiler!

What, you won't fold?

I'll fold.

Wear this tie instead.

Yeah? Thanks.

Haneul, breakfast done?

Mom, I folded 150.

Really?

150 is $4.50.

I folded the rest for you,

aren't I cool?

So cool!

Thanks, I'm off!

- Come home early!

- Okay!

Haru! Haru!

Are you awake?

You're late, come on.

Go wash up.

- And brush your teeth.

- I'm late,

something smells good!

Let's eat.

- What is it?

- Smells good, right?

Tada!

- Eat with me.

- I'll eat with Haru.

It's amazing.

- Morning!

- Hello there.

What a sweetheart!

Banana's expensive.

Thank you!

Let's go, Squiddy.

Seriously!

- Everything's good here?

- Holy cow!

Good morning.

Have you finally

accepted them as your family?

Well, yes.

You got a week left.

Are you sad?

Yes, a little.

How exactly do I die?

Didn't I tell you?

Car accident.

Then...

those loving children will

lose their mother in a week

without any warning?

Isn't that too brutal

for them to take in?

Do you want to

minimize their pain?

Yes.

If possible, absolutely.

Then within the time you have,

give them lots of love.

You take care now.

You look all rosy,

like a newly wed.

Too obvious?

My life is golden right now.

It's all thanks to me.

It's law of conservation of mass,

thanks to my unhappiness.

- Be thankful.

- Thanks, bud.

Thanks, you prick!

Now I know that

stupid law actually works!

Mr. KIM!

The transfer came through.

So sweet, nice.

Chief.

What is this?

I never requested a transfer.

Got a proof that you didn't?

Ward chief signed off on it,

so pack up.

Sir.

I'm really sorry about

that night.

Forgive me,

and please reinstate me.

Keep a lid on that wife of yours.

She needs to be taught a lesson.

Gonna hit me again?

I'll go, so do not bring up

my wife again.

If not, I may not hold back.

First date in a long time.

It's been way too long.

If I...

- suddenly...

- Yeon-woo.

I got transferred to the country.

What?

I need to head down

next month, so...

Is this his revenge?

From that bastard boss?

I'll try to come back up

as soon as possible.

It's because of me...

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

Yeon-woo, you didn't do

anything wrong.

Not a thing, it's okay.

It's okay.

Too sweet.

Thank you for seeing me

during your busy day.

The transfer is finalized,

so don't even bring it up.

What must I do

to make you happy?

I'll kneel if you want me to.

I'm begging you.

I'm not a gangster,

don't kneel at my feet.

Take this opportunity to

live quietly down south.

There really is no other way?

Office is a cold-hearted place.

Take that to heart, woman.

Sit back down.

I got important work.

I know you're busy,

but sit down.

Hello, Ms. KIM of

HK Construction?

I'm attorney LEE Yeon-woo,

who is in charge of

HK's redevelopment project.

I got a question, has HK

lobbied any civil servants?

Is chief CHOI Su-chul

on that list?

Okay, thank you.

Who are you?

What are you?

Me? KIM Sung-hwan's wife.

Don't just look, pick one.

No, I gotta get mom's

menopause pills.

Menopause?

She was sick

but she's better now.

That's so cute.

Good bye.

Huh?

Hey, kid?

Are you okay?

Where is the ER?

KIM Haru, he's a boy.

He's 6 years old.

Are you the guardian?

Mother, I'm his mom.

It's retinitis pigmentosa.

The vision becomes

cloudy at times.

He probably fell because of it.

Retinitis pigmentosa?

It must've degenerated

very rapidly recently.

It'd have been hard on him.

Is it treatable?

An operation is required,

but we can't rule out

losing sight completely.

Why did this happen to him?

There's...

a high chance of genetics.

Most likely genetics.

Ma'am, it says you lost sight

in one eye because of it.

I recovered after multiple

retinal surgeries.

It was a huge

financial burden on us.

I resented my mother for it,

I must've blocked

that memory out.

Naturally, I never

thought about it!

Then how?

How could this happen?

How is this possible?

This isn't fair!

What's not fair?

I'm a temporary mom,

no, I'm playing a role!

Then how could he

inherit it from me?

Because you're his mom.

How am I his mother?!

The woman who died

3 weeks ago is his mother!

- Ms. LEE.

- But I!

I'm the one who

committed sins while living.

If you wanted to punish,

you should've punished me!

Why punish an innocent child?

This is how you

balance the world?

You were here?

I've been looking for you.

It's okay.

It's okay, we must

stay strong for our boy.

He'll be fine after the surgery.

Pills working?

Don't touch your wound.

Okay, thank you.

It'll be fine.

You're a strong boy.

I don't...

even remember my dad's face.

I hated my mom for

missing him endlessly,

so I took his clothes

and photos,

and burned everything.

I hated my dad so much.

I hated him for leaving

my mom and I alone.

I lived hard to be strong.

I never wanted to rely on anyone.

But despite all the success,

we want someone to lean on

when in a pinch,

and we need people to love

in order to be happy...

I never realized it.

SURGERY STATUS:
KIM HARU

OPERATION ROOM:

Your time's up, please get in.

I can't go now.

I have to see him wake up.

You must leave now,

there's no time.

He's suffering because of me,

can't I at least see him wake up?

I warned you not to interfere

with your previous life.

I apologized profusely for that.

So please.

This is an unforeseen

consequence of your action.

If I get in this car,

everything'll work out?

Even if it means

I can't see my family?

Are you saying you want to

remain here as Haru's mother?

Forfeit your previous life?

Yes, if it's possible,

I want to!

I'll forfeit my life as a lawyer,

so please!

Ms. LEE!

If you disappear,

Haru's illness will be gone.

Do you not understand?

If I disappear?

So get in the car.

What are you doing?

Let go!

Let me say good bye!

Please!

Please let me go!

Must you go this far?

I'm begging you!

Don't do this!

I can't give you a lot of time.

Go on.

- Mom.

- You're back.

How's Haru?

He's there,

I'm going to admin office.

Since you're here,

I'm off to class.

Haneul, wait!

You'll become a great actress,

I believe in you.

What's with the love?

Please be happy, okay?

Fine, don't overreact.

He'll be fine, don't worry.

I'll come back afterwards,

see you soon!

Mom?

Yeah.

You're a strong boy.

I know you can't see me,

but can you hear me?

Yeah, clearly.

Your voice is so pretty.

There's something I have to do,

so I must leave for a bit.

Can you stay strong

even without mom?

I won't cause any trouble.

But come back soon.

Are you crying?

No!

Don't...

forget that I love you so much.

Yup, I love you so much.
