(The White Olive Tree)

(Episode 31)

(This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.)

Captain.

Sasin.

You were supposed to handle the artillery,

not go onto the battlefield.

Why did you…

Lock me up if you want.

The war is over.

Why would I lock you up?

Forget it.

Since you just helped me out,

I'll let it slide this time.

Don't let it slide.

I don't want to be your scapegoat

and used as your excuse.

You know nothing.

Paying for drinks is not a big deal,

but freedom is.

Jerk.

What did you say?

At such a young age,

do you even know what a jerk is?

Where is your star?

Your star.

Stop.

Where are you going?

I need to find my star.

I'll go with you.

I don't need your help.

I can find it myself.

It's an order!

That bastard Ark escaped again.

We just took back the Holy Temple.

The battlefield hasn't been cleared yet.

You may be caught off guard and get shot.

And strictly speaking,

the star you lost is mine.

Take this.

Stop looking.

Let's go back.

I've given the star to you.

Why are you still looking?

The lost one is yours, but I still need to find it.

It's none of your business!

How can you find it in such a big place?

I'm talking to you!

Can you stop being so childish?

No.

Otherwise, Rina would blame me.

Cut the crap.

Come here!

Get down!

You got shot?

It hurts so much.

Zan.

The Holy Temple at Matuman

is still so beautiful.

Song.

Song.

Dr. Pei needs your help.

Just keep pressing on it.

Benjamin?

Why is it you?

Saline and gauze may not be enough.

Go get some for me.

Okay.

What happened to you?

An enemy shot at us.

He saved me.

I didn't take the bullet for you.

It was for…

For this.

You found it?

Don't move!

Do you want to have a limp for the rest of your life?

Dr. Pei, don't worry.

Even if I had a limp,

I'd still make it

to our Vinyl date.

No need for that.

You want to look at it, don't you?

Keep it to yourself.

I'm not looking at it.

I found the star,

but as Dr. Pei said,

I'll have to

walk with a limp in the future.

You'll need to provide for me.

Your leg is fine.

The bullet didn't hurt any bones or nerves.

You'll be fine after going to the hospital for some stitches.

Dr. Pei.

We got a patient here who needs your attention.

Okay.

You're in charge.

Just like this.

Okay.

Thank you.

For what?

Thank you.

I want to thank Zan too.

And him.

Eastern Country is like a big tree.

Thank you all for watering it.

Without you,

this tree

might never bear fruit again.

I…

I can't tell you

how grateful I am.

Sasin.

I always believe

Eastern Country and its people will make it through.

One day, you'll put down your gun

and pick up your pen again.

Song Ran.

That adjutant's injury

needs to be treated in the hospital.

Come with me.

Okay.

Take care of him.

You're brave and brilliant.

Instructor Li.

It's me.

Sorry.

You're actually so fast

and so strong.

Sorry to scare you.

Here, wipe your face.

I'm good.

I'll clean it later.

There are so many bruises on your face.

And you did a lot for my country,

so I need to do something good for you as well.

You're welcome.

There are some basic medicines in the camp.

I'd better go back and clean my wounds first.

Well.

What is it? Did something go red?

It's okay.

Is it a gift from your family?

Yeah.

It's from my girlfriend

for safety and love.

Zan.

Song and the injured went to the hospital.

She asked me to tell you.

Did she just…

What?

Nothing.

Sasin.

I gotta go.

Ran, was that you?

The Holy Temple at Matuman

is still so beautiful.

Zan.

Where are you?

It's been a long day.

I have a lot to tell you.

We won! We won!

Look, these are Matuman's heroes!

Is Instructor Li here?

No. He's not here.

We won! We won!

We won!

We took Matuman back?

We took Matuman back!

God bless.

We won!

We won!

Thank you so much. You're my hero.

This song is dedicated to the heroes

who bravely fought for Matuman Hill today!

We won!

We got Matuman Hill back!

Long live Matuman Hill!

Great!

We got Matuman Hill back!

Let's go celebrate.

Let's go to the square.

Zan.

I regret it now.

I regret breaking up with you.

I regret it.

I didn't think too much back then.

I thought you would…

But so much time has passed.

Ran.

Back then…

I know.

There was something on your mind.

Me too.

So you don't have to…

(Paroxetine hydrochloride)

Ran.

It has nothing to do with you.

It's not because we broke up.

I had this disease before.

The 926 Explosion…

Ran.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

I thought I had recovered.

Later, my mom got sick, and I…

Anyway, I'm fine now.

I haven't taken that medicine in a long time.

Don't… Don't…

Sorry.

I shouldn't have gone abroad when you

needed me the most.

No.

Don't say sorry to me.

You have nothing to apologize for.

I was…

I was…

I was in a bad mood.

I…

I shouldn't have said

I didn't want to hear from you anymore.

I was wrong.

I really regret it.

I wanted you to come back.

But

I didn't want you to change your mind

because I was ill.

Zan.

Things couldn't be like that.

I understand.

Ran.

It's not because of that.

I…

I've never thought about

cutting ties with you.

I just…

I said sorry

not because of that medicine.

I apologized because I knew it was very dangerous,

but I still came.

I knew you would find out

but still didn't tell you immediately.

I knew after I came here this time, I might…

I might die,

but I still kept moving forward.

Ran.

You're the person

who I owe the most in this world.

Because I knew I'd make you

endure a lot of pain…

but I still fell for you.

I still want to be with you.

I'm too selfish.

I let you bear

all the possible consequences. Sorry.

Sorry.

No.

Zan.

It was my choice.

I chose to be with you.

I fell for you.

Zan.

I couldn't bring myself to leave you,

nor did I want to leave you.

But I still said those words.

When I saw you at Matuman,

you were dismantling a bomb.

I saw you walking through bullets.

I was so scared.

I was scared that

if something happened to you,

I'd regret it…

I'd regret it forever.

I'd hate myself so much.

Ran.

When I fell asleep at Matuman,

was it you?

So it wasn't a dream.

At that moment,

I smelled you.

But I was too tired

to wake up.

I could only snuggle up to you

as a response.

Zan.

You did respond to me.

It wasn't in your dream.

Otherwise,

maybe I wouldn't have...

I wouldn't have tried so hard to find you.

Luckily, I responded to you.

Zan.

Actually,

I'm a nice person.

Back then,

I was a bit weird because I was ill.

But I'm actually very nice.

I mean it.

I know.

Don't worry.

It's okay to be ill.

I don't mind.

Actually, there are many things I can't get over either.

Just like you.

Then,

tell me about them when you want to.

We have plenty of time ahead of us.

Okay.

Zan.

I want to tell you

a story about a tree and a bird.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Once upon a time,

there was a little bird.

It got injured

and fell from the sky.

A big tree caught it

and protected it from the wind and rain.

After the bird recovered,

it built a home in the tree,

sang for the tree every day,

and told the tree stories outside.

Then winter came.

The bird had to go to the south.

Before it left, it told the tree,

"I'll come back to you next spring."

But when the bird came back,

the tree

had been cut down.

Only a stump was left.

Then what happened?

The bird asked the grass nearby,

"Where is my tree?"

The grass answered,

"Your tree was cut down by a lumber mill.

You may find it in the lumber mill."

The bird flew to the lumber mill

and saw tall piles of logs.

But none of them were its tree.

So it asked a log,

"Have you seen my tree?"

The log said,

"Your tree has been sent to the match factory."

Then the bird flew to the match factory.

The production line was full of boxes of matches.

It asked the matches,

"Have you seen my tree?"

The matches answered, "Your tree has been made into matches

and sold to a store."

The bird then flew to the store.

It was bought?

The last box of matches was sold a few days ago.

The bird was too tired.

It couldn't fly anymore.

On a stormy night,

its wings got all wet.

When it was about to fall into the mud,

it saw light from a cabin in the forest.

It flew in and fell on the table.

There was a lit candle and an empty matchbox

on the table.

The flame of the candle warmed the bird.

It finally woke up.

The bird asked the candle,

"Have you seen my tree?"

The candle said,

"Yes.

The last match

that lit me to keep you warm

was your tree."

It's a good story.

What's good about it?

I felt sad when I read it as a young girl.

But after thinking about it,

I think it might not be a love story.

The tree

might embody some kind of faith or belief.

The bird never gave up pursuing it.

Despite all the hardships in the process,

there would still be a warm ending.

You're trying to comfort me.

Zan.

Just go your way.

Everything will be fine.

Okay.

But I still think it's a love story.

Ran.

I don't want you to get too tired flying

or look for too long.

But if you can't fly anymore,

I promise to be the match that warms you.

Sasin.

Sasin!

It's getting dark.

Push me to the bar next to the hospital.

You want to drink in this condition?

I'm just going to the bar.

I don't plan to drink.

Why go to the bar if you're not drinking?

I have a date with Dr. Pei.

Usually, it's fine

to just cancel it.

But when I met her on the front lines this time…

I said something women hate to hear.

I need to make it up to her tonight.

Besides,

I bought a three-month

membership to Vinyl.

It'd be a waste not to go.

That's your business.

Why do you always like to sabotage

the relationship between Dr. Pei and me?

Is it because you don't have love in your life,

so you're worried that once I find true love,

there won't be anyone to take care of you?

- If that's the case… - Shut up, Benjamin.

When have I ever sabotaged

your relationship with Dr. Pei?

You're doing it right now by not pushing me

to Vinyl.

Climb onto it.

I'll push you there now.

My leg is injured.

Why did you sit down?

This is not a place you should be.

You think I want to be here watching you?

If you could walk,

I wouldn't want to stay a minute longer.

Dr. Pei will push me back later.

You don't need to wait for me at the hospital.

Go back to camp and get some sleep…

He has a really bad temper these days.
