OPPORTUNITY: Opportunity

엄마
What are you talking about now...
전정국
......
전정국
Do you remember what I said when I was nine?
전정국
My dad went to Kwak Yu-tae to deposit the money.
전정국
You tried desperately to stop it.
전정국
If I deposit money, my house will go bankrupt.
전정국
Mom, Dad, and I are all going to die.
전정국
......
전정국
But in the end, our house was ruined.
전정국
My mom told me not to say things like that...
전정국
So I wasn't saying anything.
전정국
I won't sit idly by any longer.
전정국
August 12, 2007.
전정국
My mother died of cancer because she couldn't get treatment.
전정국
...So please, Mom.
전정국
Can you just trust me just this once...?
전정국
Or just...
전정국
Let's pretend we're being fooled... Just close your eyes once...
전정국
Shouldn't I get a health checkup?
전정국
Please... Mom.
엄마
......
엄마
You did that in Jeongguk.
엄마
You died in 2020.
엄마
After Kwak Yu-tae ran away with the money,
엄마
Mom, I thought about that for a moment.
엄마
Indeed, what you say may be true.
엄마
It's possible that my son could have died in 2020.
엄마
It was harder because I believed what you said without realizing it.
엄마
Because my son won't live another 20 years and will die.
엄마
Could it be that we don't trust what you say?
전정국
No. It's not Mom and Dad's fault.
전정국
Is this world the afterlife?
전정국
Or maybe it's a parallel world, as they say... I don't know if it's something like that,
전정국
One thing is certain: if you change the past, the future will change.
전정국
Mom, Mom, please get treatment.
전정국
That's the best my mother can do for me.
전정국
...if my mother lives,
전정국
I don't know if I can survive.
"If I had been just a little bit later, I wouldn't have been able to have the surgery."
"I almost got in big trouble."
엄마
......!
현숙
"Jiyu, what should I do...? How can I..."
"Still, I'm glad I found it now."
"If you have a successful surgery and continue to receive treatment, you can be cured. Don't worry too much."
현숙
Jungkook... If Jungkook hadn't listened, what would have happened to you...!
엄마
......
"Oh my. It looks like the son saved his mother's life."
"Don't cry too much. I'll perform the surgery without any pain."
When I answered the phone right after school, my mom's voice was quiet.
His eyes were bright red, as if he had been crying for hours, and the sound of his nose being sniffed could be heard continuously.
My aunt, Hyunsuk, also held me and cried that day. She said that if it weren't for me, Jiyu would have been in trouble. She thanked me and patted my back, saying that I was a blessed child.
My family was filled with tears until my mother had surgery.
After school, I ran to my mom, and my aunt Hyunsuk was always there.
Fortunately, very fortunately
There was no significant change in the past.
김태형
Hey! Jeon Jungkook!
전정국
?
김태형
What is it?
전정국
what.
김태형
Oh, no... what are you really!
전정국
Oh, so what!
김태형
I heard Ryonie is dead.
전정국
......
전정국
I told you.
전정국
He said he would die in a car accident.
김태형
I'm serious.
김태형
It's scary how I'm starting to believe your words one by one.
김태형
What you said in passing when you were in elementary school,
김태형
And now what you prophesied.
김태형
Unless you're really... living your second life or something...
전정국
ha...
전정국
This is a secret.
전정국
You must not tell anyone.
김태형
Oh, tell me.
전정국
I died in 2020,
전정국
I feel like I'm back in 2002.
