Uncle.

Uncle!

How was school today?

Did you see something?

What did you see?

Did you see a ghost?

No.

Uncle.

[Hodu House]

Auntie, I'm back.

Auntie?

Why are you here? You didn't even call me.

Why?

Am I not allowed to come here?

I'm just asking because you have no reason to visit.

Do you want some pie?

Where did you get this?

Su Jeong gave it to me.

You should heat it up in the microwave. It's cold.

Do it for me then.

What's going on?

Are you on leave?

That's me.

What? You didn't know that I was in this picture?

Yeah.

You can see it every time you're doing the dishes.

I know.

I asked you if you're on leave.

Until when?

When do you have to go back to Seoul?

We'll see about that.

I don't plan to go back for some time.

Seriously?

You really don't plan to go back to Seoul for some time?

What about your mum?

Auntie.

I saw the two new guesthouses up the street.

Is that why no one comes here anymore?

So, are you really going to live here?

You were just joking, right?

No, I wasn't.

It's hot.

I'm going to live here for the time being.

How are you going to live here?

Like you. You know, leading a life of freedom.

What about the academy?

You see,

I don't think I'm qualified to teach anyone.

There's no such thing.

No one does stuff because they're actually qualified to do it.

Everyone just does things. Just because it's what they do.

To make money.

If that's so, I really can't do it.

Are you done eating?

No.

Go to bed when you're done.

But you see,

you shouldn't quit your job so easily.

And don't talk like I'm wasting my life here.

Ms. Mok, what did you just say to me?

What did you just say?

Why did you cut Si Hyeon's cello strings?

What are you worried about?

She said I could only play decently because I have a good cello.

But she's right.

Hey! What did you say?

How dare you!

This is unacceptable! Am I wrong?

Does this even make sense?

How could a teacher...What are you doing?

Even teachers at school don't hit students these days.

Do you think you have the upper hand?

Let me remind you that we do!

Of course, we're aware that...

How dare she hit my daughter!

She's merely a cello teacher.

I want a full refund immediately!

Na Gyeong, tell me exactly how and where she hit you.

She slapped me in the face.

-Hey, come here! -Please don't do this!

Come over here!

-Let go of me! -Apologise to her!

How dare you hit her!

You're going to be fired!

Apologize to her at once.

I'm speechless.

[A hot cup of tea to easen your sadness]

[Hodu House]

Hi.

Hi.

Hey.

Look over there.

Those things that look like marshmallows.

What are they called?

Do you know?

Those are bales.

Also known as silage.

Yes.

That was the name.

[Testing.]

[Hodu House]

[Come in, Lim Eun Seop. Calling Lim Eun Seop.]

[Over.]

Dad, you can talk to me without that. I can hear you.

[But I can't hear you, over.]

Well, I can hear you loud and clear even without...

[Use your radio, over.]

Go ahead, dad.

[Testing.]

[Lim Eun Seop, come to the skating rink with a rake later. Over.]

Roger that.

[Say over at the end, over.]

Over.

Why are you here?

I need to borrow that.

Is that all you need?

Yes.

How long are you staying this time?

Until spring, I think.

Until spring?

Probably.

I’m leaving.

Tell me if you ever need anything.

If I need anything?

A car, for example.

Myeong Yeo doesn't have a car, you know.

Can I borrow it now?

What?

Can I borrow your car?

Is that okay?

Goodbye.

Auntie.

You know that guy next door?

Who?

I mean Lim Eun Seop.

What's wrong with him?

I think he changed.

What do you mean?

I mean...

Goodbye.

He's like a different person.

Like a different person?

Yes.

As if he went missing for a while and came back.

Don't be ridiculous.

What? Isn't it possible?

That reminded me of something.

I think he went missing for years...

See?

But technically, he wasn't missing.

He wasn't?

Auntie.

What is it now?

Why does Eun Seop call you by your first name?

What?

You're well over 40, right?

-What did you say? -Also,

what's with your sunglasses?

Did you get plastic surgery while I was away?

That day, Irene asked me.

Hwi, give me that!

Oppa.

Didn't I tell you not to touch my stuff?

Those things that look like marshmallows.

What are they called?

Oppa.

Who's this Irene?

-Go away. Stop following me. -Oppa, who is Irene?

Good night Irene.

Did he engrave this himself?

[Tell me, who's the most beautiful person?]

-So funny. -Excuse me.

What did you need again?

Flexible tap connectors, door knobs,

an electric drill, screws,

a silicone gun, and a snow shovel.

Please.

What kind of shovel do you need?

A plastic one.

By the way, do you sell mint green paint?

My goodness!

Goodness, that scared me.

[Hodu House]

Look at that. You're even painting the house.

It'll be so pretty, right.

No, not at all.

You're pessimistic.

I think you're overly optimistic.

Isn't the mint green colour just lovely?

No, it isn't.

We have to do this to attract more customers.

I'm afraid the paint will crack when the temperature goes down.

The temperature won't decrease. I already checked.

The temperature won't decrease in winter? Do you believe that?

You're too innocent.

That's what the weather forecast said.

Should I ask a passing dog instead?

Yes, I'd rather believe the words of a passing dog.

You'll see. There will be no rain or snow for some time.

[Hodu House]

There will be no rain or snow for some time?

I'm afraid my whole house will melt and...

flow into a stream of mint green.

My goodness, this is bad.

What's going on?

Auntie!

Auntie!

Auntie!

Auntie, open the door!

Auntie!

What is she doing? Auntie!

So cold.

Who is...

[Good Night Bookstore]

I didn't know you owned a bookstore.

I didn't know this was a real bookstore either.

Yes, it's been around for three years.

I see.

Do you sell used books too?

No.

[Lim Cho Hee]

Then what are these?

I'm just holding onto them.

Holding onto them?

Some people come read bits and bits and leave bookmarks between the books.

You know, like whiskey or wine.

I'm just trying it so more people can feel cosy in my bookstore.

You can do that too if there's a book you like.

Why did you name this place Good Night Bookstore?

I was wondering why ever since I saw the sign.

Eating and sleeping well...

are more difficult than we think, right?

Is that so?

It's such a basic thing, but people still have trouble with it.

So,

I named this place...

in hopes that people can eat well...

and sleep well.

Eating and sleeping well?

Is that all there is to life?

What else is there to life?

Thanks for the coffee.

Wait a minute.

Here.

Wear this.

[Eating and sleeping well.]

[Mok Hae Won]

[Sleeping well is a good thing.]

[Waking up well, eating well.]

[Working well, and getting good rest.]

[And if you sleep well at night,]

[that's what you call a good life.]

[So, good night, everyone.]

Hae Won, come on!

Hurry, let's go!

Okay.

[Good Night Bookstore]

[Hodu House]

Auntie, I'm going to clean the warehouse today.

Darn it!

Eun Seop, have some of this.

-Dad, here. -It's fine.

You can have it. Your dad has enough.

Okay, mum.

Dad, have some of this. This tastes good too.

Mum.

He has a new girlfriend.

Really?

Who is it?

I don't have a girlfriend. Don't listen to her.

Her name is Irene.

Is she a foreigner?

Where is she from?

That's not true at all. Let's eat.

Come on. I saw everything.

Mum, look at him lying without batting an eyelid.

-Finish this and leave. -Eun Seop is not even 30 yet.

I'm not ready to send him away.

My goodness.

That's so corny.

By the way, Eun Seop.

Do you have time this afternoon?

I think it'll be better to sell tteokbokki under our porch awning.

Do you want to go grocery shopping with me?

Tteokbokki sounds good.

Tteokbokki is the best menu for a skating rink.

In a remote place like this,

that will help increase our sales.

Man, no one even listens to me.

Are you guys my real parents?

Mum.

Our car...

What's wrong with it?

Did it break down?

No, I lent it to someone else.

Our car? To whom?

-Well... -Wait.

You...

lent the car to your girlfriend, didn't you?

You lent it to Irene.

-What? -See? I told you.

Doesn't she need an international driver's license?

No, it's not what you think.

-She probably has one. -Of course.

-So, which country is she from? -Is she from Europe?

I'm home.

Come on, do me this favor.

Go to the academy nearby,

pretend to be a student and enroll in it for a month.

What's so hard about that?

Just blend in with the others and pretend you're learning.

I'll even pay for your class. How about it?

-I... -Ms. Mok.

You don't think this is spying, do you?

That's ridiculous. This is just research.

Don't you know what I mean?

Oh my goodness!

You're so good.

How could you be so talented?

Min Ji, it's your turn. Let's go, Min Ji.

Alright, let's see.

Ready, begin.

Ms. Mok, don't you think our head teacher is too obsessed with her health?

Yeah, right? She always drinks fresh pear juice.

Ms. Mok, did you witness that before?

Ms. Mok, you ordered a taro milk tea, right?

Ms. Mok?

Ms. Mok, are you listening?

Even if it's a classical academy, isn't her style too old-fashioned?

She always wears floral dresses.

Yes, exactly.

Gosh, I can't believe you got caught.

You put me in an awkward situation.

You should've been more careful.

That academy's head teacher despises me.

Ms. Mok, you put me in such a bind.

Ms. Mok, I'm keeping an eye on you.

Your teaching method is quite boring as well.

Pardon?

I mean,

you need to find some fun, interesting things...

so that the kids can enjoy your lesson.

Your lessons are too dry and theoretical.

That's why I told you to go to the other academy and learn a thing or two.

Make some effort.

Shouldn't you at least learn from shows like Gag Concert?

[Lesson Room]

Hi everyone! Hi kids.

Why are you dressed up like that?

Hi kids.

You said the lesson was boring, so I wore this today to entertain you kids.

What are we playing today?

This is not the colour of your hair.

Auntie.

Auntie, for tonight...

Hello?

Oh, you'd like to make a reservation?

Yes, of course.

What are the dates?

Who said you could accept reservations?

We need to accept reservations to make money.

We don't need to make money.

Why not?

I reported the business as closed a year ago.

What?

That answers your question, right?

But why?

Who said you could do that?

I did it because I wanted to.

After all, it's my house.

I know that you own this house, but it's also Grandma's house.

Grandma ran a guesthouse here all her life.

How could you shut it down just like that?

Then what? Do you want me to open my mum's coffin and ask her?

You're so mean.

I can't do it anymore because I'm getting old.

Auntie, you're only 48.

That's precisely why I'm exhausted.

Then how are you going to earn a living from now on?

You should worry about that more than me.

Auntie.

This house is no longer any of your business.

I'll take care of it from now on.

But how can I not care?

There are so many things that require repair.

Speaking of which,

calculate the money you've spent on repairing the house.

You're broke, right?

I'll tally it up and pay you back.

That's not necessary.

I fixed those things because I wanted to.

The business was one thing,

but I was also worried about you living in such an old house.

Worried?

Let's be honest. You never worry about me.

What do you mean by that?

You only do this to keep your mind off things.

What did you say?

You came here to blow off steam.

You came here because you wanted to escape reality.

Am I wrong, Mok Hae Won?

You're right.

But must you point that out?

[Hodu House]

Hey, Eun Seop!

Who is Irene? Who is she?

Who is she?

Hey, are you not going to tell me?

Is it her?

What?

[Testing.]

[Hello everyone.]

[Members of the Good Night Club, the world's oldest...]

[nocturnal organization.]

[She's...]

[back.]

Uncle.

Did you see something?

A ghost?

No.

[There's only one reason...]

[as to why I like winter.]

[It's because I can see your window across the street...]

[after the leaves that covered my window had fallen.]

[When Christmas...]

[and New Year are near,]

[you'll return and spend a few days here.]

Hey.

Over there.

Those things that look like marshmallows.

What are they called?

Do you know?

Those are bales.

Also known as silage.

[That day,]

[Irene asked me this.]

[Over there.]

[Those things that look like marshmallows.]

[What are they called?]

[Could it be insomnia?]

[If so,]

[shall I tell her...]

[about the world's oldest nocturnal organization?]

[Should I invite her to join the Good Night Club?]

[Her lights are still on.] [Is she suffering from insomnia?]

[Hodu House]

[Testing.]

[Calling Lim Eun Seop, over.]

Go ahead, dad.

[No.]

[I'll probably...]

[not be able to say anything to her.]

Here.

Thank you.

[Even if she was right in front of me,]

[I wouldn't be able to say it.]

Do you want some coffee?

I didn't know you owned a bookstore.

I didn't know this was a real bookstore either.

Why do you have so many copies of the same book?

-Wind Blowing Through a Willow Tree? -Yes.

It's an interesting book.

I bought different versions...

to see if they tell the same story.

Are they the same then?

Yes, more or less.

By the way,

why did you name this place Good Night Bookstore?

[Why did you name this place Good Night Bookstore?]

[She asked me.]

[Sleeping well is a good thing.]

[Waking up well, eating well.]

[Working well, and getting good rest.]

[And if you sleep well at night,]

[that's what you call a good life.]

[So, good night, everyone.]

Eun Seop, focus!

-This formula... -[A good night has been...]

[an important topic in my life.]

[But I'll never be able to tell her that.]

[It's because...]

[I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to comfort someone.]

[I never knew...]

[what to say to her when she cried]

Hey, Eun Seop!

Who is Irene? Who is she?

Who is she?

Hey, are you not going to tell me?

Is it her?

What?

It's you.

You mean it's her?

I mean you, Hwi.

Me?

Yes, you.

Me? But why? Why am I Irene?

I don't know. But you are Irene.

Why would you write about me and the rice paddies?

Hey, leave now!

Why are you approaching me?

Where do you want me to go?

Leave right now!

Stay away!

I'm going home!

But I'm not Irene!

So, the Irene in Good Night Irene...

Yes, it's her. My sister.

My little sister.

We both have insomnia.

More coffee?

[That's right.]

[I blew it.]

Hello?

Now?

Are you sure about this?

I mean...

I've never been to a school reunion.

I didn't even know there was one.

There's been one every year for the past ten years...

although I didn't go to every one of them.

I'm not sure if it was a good idea to drag you into this.

Don't worry.

I think it will be fun.

The sign is broken even though our shop is brand new.

Make sure it's fixed soon, okay?

Okay.

This is why you should never hire a neighbour.

[Grand opening]

Are you trying to pick a fight?

Hey!

Stop. That's not true at all.

-It's not that. -What do you mean?

Don't you remember buying...

100 roses for Eun Sil because you liked her?

Hey! That's not true.

That's not true at all.

I never had a crush on her.

-Cut it out. -You did have a crush on her.

You did.

Are we in a drama right now?

You guy talk as if you know what happened.

But there's something I haven't told you guys.

What is it?

Eun Sil was the one who had a crush on me.

-That's pathetic. -Don't be ridiculous.

Guys, you know...

I was Eun Sil's closest friend, right?

He's making it up.

Eun Sil kept complaining about how he was following her around...

and it was driving her crazy.

-Am I right? -Yeah.

Are you serious?

Does anyone have her phone number?

Let's call her right now.

I can't believe this guy.

You're just trying to get her number. How pathetic.

Exactly. Just forget it.

-No, I'm not. -Don't try to act smart.

Jang Woo, that's enough.

Oh right, Hae Won.

I heard that you teach cello in Seoul.

How is it? Is it fun?

Well, kind of.

Hae Won,

do you enjoy living alone in Seoul?

I'm sick of farming.

I'd love to live alone in Seoul.

Me too.

Hey, you should stay in your farm.

Only a pretty girl like Hae Won can live in Seoul.

What's wrong with you?

Are you really in the position to criticize my looks?

You should mind your own business.

Who even called him here?

Guys, stop.

Oh, Ji Yeon is here.

Ji Yeon, welcome.

It became so cold suddenly.

Jun Yeong is here too.

Honey, you left me behind.

I said I wanted to come too, right?

He's so big now.

Oh my, Hae Won!

Can we switch?

Unbelievable. I attended every school reunion, you know?

This is my first time seeing Hae Won!

I'm so happy! How are you?

How did you end up marrying him?

Well,

I'll tell you later.

Eun Seop, it's you?

How's your bookstore doing?

It's doing okay.

Ji Yeon, tell these guys the truth.

They think I had a crush on Eun Sil.

You know it's not true. She...

What? You did have a crush on her.

See? It's true.

I can't be the only victim.

Get ready to face the truth.

Hae Won, did you get a tattoo?

Did she get a tattoo?

What is that?

Oh, this?

It's just a sticker.

A sticker?

Yeah, that's a sticker.

It's pretty.

Isn't it a tattoo of a dragon?

What are you saying?

Oh, I know.

Apart from me,

did any of you have a crush on anyone?

We should definitely call Eun Sil here.

Right? That's the only way to make him stop talking.

-Okay. -No.

It's just that I know some secrets.

What?

What? Why?

You know this the best.

You used to like someone here,

am I right?

That's impossible.

Okay. Who was it?

Stop it, he'll be caught red-handed.

-He won't be upset. -Stop it.

Eun Seop always leaves quietly after a few drinks.

What if he stops coming to our reunion because of you?

I can't go down alone like this.

-Alright, cut it out. -Eun Seop, if you don't answer,

you need to drink this as a penalty.

Who was the person you liked among us?

I didn't like anyone.

I told you, he's staying quiet.

That means he's guilty.

Do you want me to say it?

I'm going to say it then.

Look at him. He's totally flustered.

Come on, tell us.

It was Mok Hae Won.

My goodness.

Hae Won is pretty.

Hey, where is Jun Yeong?

What?

Where is Jun Yeong?

-Where's my son? -Where did he go?

How could you not look after your own child?

How did he disappear?

Is he a magician or something?

He'll become a great magician.

-Jun Yeong! -Where is he?

Guys, Jun Yeong is here.

What?

Jun Yeong!

He can become a magician...

and perform all around the world.

Magic is the latest trend.

You know, he can perform...

all across the nation...

and at service stations. He can even go to Jeju Island...

and get himself some saw-edged perch.

Are you listening?

You know, kids these days need to be raised to be the next David Blaine.

[Members of the Good Night Club, the world's oldest...]

[nocturnal organization.]

[Are you all asleep?]

[Guys, I must say...]

Sorry.

I have something to ask you.

No.

What do you mean no?

You know, what I said earlier, that was all in the past.

Oh, do you mean when you said you liked me?

Yes.

That was all in the past.

[Guys, I must say...]

[I blew it.]

[I totally blew it.]

[Roger.]

♫ Just like in a winter's dream ♫

♫ You, walking towards me ♫

♫ As if an unexpected gift ♫

♫ You, observing the fallen snow ♫

♫ I gently call out your name ♫

♫ Riding the warm winter breeze ♫

♫ I pass my heart to you ♫

[Good Night Bookstore Private Blog Posting]

[There's only one reason as to why I like winter.]

[It's because I can see your window after the leaves had fallen]

[When Christmas and New Year are near,]

[you'll return to this town and spend a few days here]

[When The Weather Is Fine]

What I said during our reunion,

I hope it doesn't bother you.

You said those were in the past,

am I right?

Move away!

What's for dinner tonight?

There's a place I like.

Do you want to go with me?

It looks different.

It's a willow leaf?

How pretty.

Where are you going so early?

To work.

There's not much to do. We hardly get any customers.

So I just have to guard this place?

I'm so happy you're back.
