Mother

A school teacher sees a child facing abuse, to become the only adult to show her kindness in fight for her safety. Her ways are not too natural and her choices debatable, but it is what the small child needed.

Sujin is desperate to remove Hye-na from the situation of abuse, and plans to pretend Hye-na has drowned in order to remove her from the country. However, her plans prove difficult with the police on her tail.

The police investigate a CCTV footage and Sujin hides Hye-na at an orphanage where Sujin was raised. Not long after, there are TV broadcasts of Hye-na's mother which upsets Hye-na. Sujin gives her a choice to return home.

Sujin visits her mother in desperate need for money but is provided with the condition that Sujin spend time with her. Sujin leaves Hye-na with the barber shop lady in order to do so.

Whilst Seol-ak hides from the police, he finds evidence of Sujin and tracks her. Sujin's mother is in need of chemotherapy, and Sujin is reluctant to leave her behind in order to leave with Hye-na.
