As Ryu Shio observed the subtle exchange between Namsoon and her son, Kang-dae, he felt a surge of emotions threatening to unravel the carefully constructed facade of his stoic demeanor. The unspoken acknowledgment passed between them as Namsoon turned to face him, and in that moment, she knew that the time had come to reveal the truth about their son.Hee-jin's timely interruption diffused the tension, allowing Namsoon to address the aftermath of the school incident. Mother and daughter shared a tender moment, and Shio couldn't help but notice the invisible thread connecting their family, a thread that seemed to slip further from his grasp with every passing second.
Kang-dae's excitement about playing baseball with his "dad" struck Shio like a punch to the gut. The title that belonged to him had been usurped, and the realization fanned the flames of resentment within him. As Namsoon led her children home, Shio couldn't escape the bitterness that settled over him, fueled by the knowledge that his own son called another man "dad."
Later, at Han River, the meeting between Shio and Namsoon unfolded against the backdrop of unspoken pain and regrets. Shio confronted her with the burning question, "He's mine, isn't he?" Namsoon met his gaze and confirmed the undeniable truth, "Yes, he is yours." The revelation hung heavy in the air, and Shio, grappling with a mix of emotions, questioned why she hadn't told him sooner.
Namsoon, teary-eyed, shared the complexities of her life after Shio left, defending her choice to move forward without him. Shio, though angered by the circumstances, asserted his right to know and be a part of Kang-dae's life. The word "son" sparked a heated exchange as Namsoon, defensive and hurt, questioned his late arrival and suitability as a father.
Amidst the emotional turmoil, Shio lashed out, defending the choices he had made. Namsoon, in turn, expressed doubt and disbelief, scoffing at the notion of him reclaiming a place in her life. Their verbal sparring escalated until Namsoon, with tear-streaked cheeks, confessed her love for Shio but declared it was too late. The revelation hit Shio like a dagger, and the truth unfolded – he could no longer claim the title of father or reignite the flames of their past love.
As the night settled over the Han River, the once-shared dreams of a family faded into the chilly air, leaving Ryu Shio standing alone on the riverbank, grasping at the shattered fragments of a life he had unknowingly left behind.
