His black suit and the band he wore on his arm told the story.
“My mom, our mom…”
Ha Joon couldn’t finish his sentence through his sobs, but it was clear what he meant.
Hye Seon gently led Ha Joon to a chair.
“Ha Joon, I have a child named Si Woo who just turned 7. But Si Woo has contracted a terrible disease.”
“Is he dying?”
Perhaps thinking of his mother, who had left his side at the mention of a terrible disease, he asked with sorrowfilled eyes.
“If we can’t treat him now, he could. But fortunately, we found someone who can cure Si Woo’s illness.”
“Is that me?”
Ha Joon seemed to understand the situation that unfolded.
“Yes. Ha Joon, you are the one who can save our Si Woo. So, I hope you can help us.”
“If I help, can the child survive?”
Hye Seon nodded silently in response.
“Then I’ll help. My mom wanted me to become someone who helps others in need.”
Without even asking what the method was, Ha Joon said he would unconditionally help, wanting to fulfill his departed mother’s wish.
“Really? Ha Joon, thank you so much.”
Hye Seon responded with a bright smile.
“We are so grateful to Ha Joon that we want to give you a gift.”
“A gift?”
Since it was a word not permitted in his life, Ha Joon asked back, his eyes wide.
“Yes. Let’s clean up first. Then, I’ll take you to your mom. We should send her off in a beautiful way. So your mom can go to a happy place, we’ll help. That’s the gift.”

And so, with the help of Hye Seon and Hyun Seong, Ha Joon was able to send off his mother without any shortcomings, just like any ordinary person would.
Immediately after the funeral, the tests were conducted, and it was found that Si Woo and Ha Joon showed a compatibility level that could make them biological brothers.
Finally, the day came to extract Ha Joon’s bone marrow.
“When exactly do you extract this bone marrow?”
“We start at 10 o’clock.”
“So, when do you give the money?”
He never once asked if his son was okay, or where he was.
He just kept repeating the question of when the money would be given.
No longer wanting to sit facetoface and converse with him, Hye Seon had her secretary transfer one billion won immediately.
“We’ve deposited it now. Please check.”
At Hye Seon’s words, Hyun Seong left the hospital again without looking back.
A little later. Ha Joon, who had completed the bone marrow extraction, lay on the hospital bed, looking exhausted.
“Ha Joon, I’m going to go to Si Woo for a bit. You heard the doctor’s words not to move at all for 34 hours, right? If you wait, your dad will be here soon.”
About an hour had passed since she had headed to Si Woo’s hospital room.
When Hye Seon returned to Ha Joon’s room wondering if by any chance his father had come, her eyes widened.

Ha Joon, who should have been in bed, was nowhere to be seen.
She had clearly said not to move for about 3 hours, and she was worried that his father might have forcibly taken Ha Joon away.
Hye Seon and Hyun Seong, who had urgently asked the hospital director to check the CCTV, were shocked.
They discovered Ha Joon climbing into the elevator, dragging his body which couldn’t move properly due to pain.
Seeing the elevator number stop at 1 as it gradually descended, the two hurried to the first floor.
They wondered if he had already gone outside.
Scanning the firstfloor lobby with an anxious heart, Hye Seon found Ha Joon sitting in a chair, blankly staring at the entrance.
“Ha Joon, what are you doing here now?”
“……”
“Have you been waiting for your father?”
Hye Seon, who realized that the place where Ha Joon was sitting was where he had parted with his father a few days ago, asked.
“If you wait in the ward, he will come soon. Why did you come all the way here when you are struggling?”
“He won’t come anymore.”
Despite his calm tone, Ha Joon’s eyes lingering on the entrance were shaking.
“What did you say?”
“My father won’t come anymore.”
Ha Joon knew the moment he heard the news that Hyun Cheol had received the money.

That he had become an unnecessary existence to him.
That he had been abandoned by his father.
Hye Seon comforted him, saying that it wouldn’t be, that he would definitely come back, but in the end, her worries became reality.
Hyun Cheol never returned to the hospital after leaving.
After a while, Hyun Seong and Hye Seon went through the adoption procedure and accepted Ha Joon as their family.
In fact, it wasn’t difficult for Kim Ha Joon to become Min Ha Joon. He was a child whose birth registration wasn’t even properly done.
Having become a family, Si Woo, who received Ha Joon’s bone marrow transplant, was moved to America to continue his treatment, and was able to recover after some time.
[What are you sorry for?] [What are you sorry for?] [Stop it.] Did he need to speak so dismissively?Did he need to speak so cruelly?
Recalling the memories of the past, Hyun Seong began to regret his actions from a moment ago.

It wasn’t difficult to guess why Ha Joon had no choice but to have such thoughts.
He had always been that way since he was a child.
A child who couldn’t even touch an item placed on the desk for several days until he heard that it was his.
A child who thought he had no place to sit unless one was specified, and couldn’t settle down anywhere.
Having never claimed his own things or his own place, to Ha Joon, everything around him was just someone else’s. Someone else’s place.
For 20 years, he had patiently waited without a single rush. Why did he do that? Why on earth?
Like a stone was laid on top, Hyun Seong’s heart heavily sank.
“People heal at different rates, just as the size of their wounds varies.”
Hye Seon gently comforted him, placing her hand on Hyun Seong’s sagging shoulders.
“We can’t know how Ha Joon spent the 10 years before he met us.”
She could only vaguely guess from his appearance on the first day they met, that it must have been a wound beyond imagination.
“If the wound is too big, even 20 years may not be enough.”
A faint tremor was felt in Hye Seon’s voice.

“…how hard it must have been all this time.”
How hard it must have been to guard a place alone, not knowing when to give it back.
And how much pain it must have been for him to say he would give up the place he worked so hard to protect.
Thinking of Ha Joon’s words and expressions, Hye Seon’s heart became choked up.
“I should have just told him that it’s originally your place. That it’s your complete place where you don’t have to step aside for anyone. Why couldn’t I do that?”
Unknowingly, Hye Seon’s eyes were getting moist.
“We need to tell our son before he gets more hurt.”
Hye Seon jumped up from her seat, as if she had made up her mind.
“I’ll come with you.”
Seeing Hye Seon’s movement, Hyun Seong also quickly got up and opened the door.
