Contents My Father, Who Stayed in the Previous Episode

Episode 7 continues to revolve around family conflicts and painful memories between the characters, focusing on Nguyen's inner turmoil.

At the beginning of the episode, Ms. Lien - Nguyen's mother - shows him the birthmark on little Cat Tien and confirms that she is the reincarnation of Bong. This statement makes Nguyen extremely uncomfortable, he leaves in a confused state of mind. Sitting alone, Nguyen recalls the painful death of his sister in the past - an event that Ms. Lien once blamed entirely on him. Meanwhile, Mr. Chinh accidentally sees Nguyen sitting sadly at a coffee shop and guesses that Ms. Lien's words have deeply affected his son's mood.

At home, An sat by the window, wondering when Nguyen would return. Viet, An’s younger brother, noticed that she was not concentrating on her test tomorrow. After a while of chatting, An suddenly decided to run out to find Nguyen, despite the rain and without an umbrella. Viet hurriedly chased after his sister.

When Mr. Chinh returned home and learned that Viet had not returned, he and Mr. Binh argued in the kitchen. Mr. Binh blamed Mr. Chinh for being too focused on work and not paying attention to the children when they needed him. The argument was interrupted when Nguyen returned, drenched, explaining that he had been late because he had taken shelter from the rain.

In the room, Nguyen continued to ponder over what Mrs. Lien had said. Suddenly, An appeared and hugged him tightly from behind, causing Nguyen to turn around in surprise. Seeing An also drenched, Nguyen worriedly asked. In his confusion, he accidentally touched An's chest, causing both of them to blush and feel embarrassed.

That evening, the whole family gathered around the hot pot, trying to take care of Nguyen when they realized he was sad. But the cozy atmosphere was quickly broken when Mr. Chinh accidentally mentioned the story of Mrs. Lien and her son, making the whole family tense. Nguyen sadly went upstairs. Then, An remembered that there would be a meteor shower tonight and invited Nguyen and Viet to go see it.

The three brothers waited for the meteor shower together at night. While An fell asleep, Viet and Nguyen had a chance to confide in each other. Viet asked Nguyen if he had ever asked his mother why she had left him. Viet also shared that he understood that Nguyen always blamed Mrs. Lien for blaming him for Bong's death. Viet encouraged Nguyen that instead of being sad, he should live a good life to make Mrs. Lien regret abandoning him. When the meteor shower appeared, the three brothers made a wish together, creating a rare moment of warmth amidst the conflicts.

The next morning, at school, An talked to her friends about why she stayed up late to watch the meteor shower. During the test, Thao, An’s friend, helped her copy the notes, but both were reported and the test was canceled. After the test, Thao’s mother came to scold An, saying that “being near ink will turn you black,” and mockingly said that she was not only a bad student but also cheated. These words hurt An deeply.

The episode ends with An going out and accidentally seeing Cat Tien fall. Will this event open a new turning point in the story? Will the conflicts and hurts in the family be resolved? The answer will continue to be revealed in the following episodes.

Episode 8 promises to be an emotional episode, as Nguyen faces important choices. Cat Tien's fall at the end of the previous episode could have sent her to the hospital, giving Ms. Lien the opportunity to continue reminding Nguyen of family ties. She affirms that Cat Tien is also his sister and hopes that he will share his feelings with her. However, Nguyen firmly refuses, affirming that what belongs to him, he will never share. These words not only reflect Nguyen's deep hurt but also declare that he wants to protect what is important to him.

In another development, An talks to Mr. Binh, affirming that Nguyen cannot leave his current family. An emphasizes that Ms. Lien lives abroad, so it is impossible for Nguyen to follow his mother. This is a moment that shows An's sincere feelings for Nguyen, as well as her efforts to keep him by her side.

Another important detail is the conversation between Ms. Lien and her new husband. She expressed her desire to bring Nguyen back to live with the family and support him to study abroad, but her husband flatly refused. He argued that Nguyen was not his biological son and warned her not to mention money matters in the family. This put Ms. Lien in a difficult position, forcing her to choose between helping Nguyen or protecting her current life.
