A mother who can live her daily life with help from her husband
“Do you know what nickname Ji-Seung’s mom gave me when I met her? It was ‘Songippeu’. ‘Song Ippeun..’ She has a very kind heart and she gave me strength, so she had a deep heart and good understanding.” -Dad
“My mother is disabled, actually. She is deaf, level 2. Is this my destiny? Am I the only one who becomes disabled if I meet him? “It hurts so much when I think about this.” – Dad

Her hands and legs become stiff as time goes by, making it impossible for her to live her daily life without the help of her husband, Hoyoung.
“It’s already been 7 years since my husband did housework? 8 years? That’s about it. “Still, I’m so grateful to my husband who does that in silence, without once saying it’s hard or getting annoyed, and I feel pity and feel sorry for him.” – Mom
After dropping Ji-seung off at school, her husband, Ho-young, begins meticulous cleaning and laundry. Mi-kyung’s heart is very heavy as she has to watch and not be able to help her husband, who is responsible for her housework, childcare, and livelihood alone.

“Jiseung is myself and my alter ego to me. It gives me strength to see Jiseung’s bright side again. I will never fall on my own. I promise you that. “I will never fall alone” – Dad
Mr. Ho-young cannot do his normal work life because he has to take care of his wife, who needs help from her husband, and Ji-seung, who gets anxious without his father. However, because he has to earn money to cover living expenses and medical expenses, he goes to work every night to act as a designated driver while Ji-seung is asleep.
