After arriving at the hospital, the father explained in detail his symptoms that he could not tell in front of his children. As a result of the diagnosis, the knee condition was so serious that even artificial joint surgery had to be considered in the worst case. In shock, Park Seo-jin couldn't speak, and his father "My head went blank. Now that I'm 70 years old, I'm emptying my mind a lot. Words can't describe the feeling. I was in tears."
In response, Park Seo-jin tried to relieve his depressed father's mood, and he took his two sons to the photo studio, saying he had a wish. The three were awkward for the first photo shoot of the three children in their lives, but Park Seo-jin's torch held his courage and gave his father a kiss on the cheek. In response, the father "It felt really good to take a picture with the three of us for the first time. I didn't know there was a day like this either. How nice is it to be able to take a picture with my two sons?" he said, expressing satisfaction.
While the friendly atmosphere continued, my father suddenly offered to take a solo picture. He said "My father died at 53 and my mother at 64. Neither of you left a portrait while you were alive, so your mother enlarged the existing picture, and your father drew a picture to replace it"So I wanted to take a portrait when I was young, even though I was happy today", he explained.
Park Seo-jin eventually shed tears at the unexpected words of his father. He said "The meaning is good, but the longevity picture is a portrait after all, so it seemed like my dad was getting ready for the last. I wondered if he was going to film it before it hurts more"I was so sad to see my father preparing calmly." Next week, his father's longevity photoshoot and 70th birthday party were announced, stimulating the tear glands with deep emotion, raising expectations for the next episode.
