FIVE YEARS AGO (8)

"EOMMA," Neoma greeted Areum eomma who returned to Nabi's room with some food from a famous restaurant. She hugged her mom and kissed her on the cheek, making her eomma laugh. "Are you done with your business in the bank?"

Areum eomma smiled and nodded, then she gave her an apologetic smile. "You gave me such a huge amount of money, sweetheart."

"It's nothing, eomma," she said while shaking her head. "You provided everything Nabi and appa needed in the hospital on your own for more than a year. Plus, you had to quit your job in order to personally take care of them."

Won-shik appa earned a lot as the country's top actor before he fell into a coma.

Areum eomma was also the highest paid reporter during her prime. Hence, eomma had a lot of savings, too.

Even so, the accumulated hospital bill was no joke even with health insurance.

[After all, Nabi and Won-shik appa are both using VIP rooms.]
