She's...

[Previously on When The Weather Is Fine]

back.

How long are you staying this time?

No, I'm thinking of staying here and work as a part-timer.

[Hiring part-timer, working hours are negotiable, Good Night Bookstore.]

He has a new girlfriend.

Her name is Irene.

Right. Didn't I talk to you about Kim Bo Yeong the other day?

She said there's been a misunderstanding between you two.

It's been such a long time.

The pipes had burst.

I'll just escape from here right now.

I'll just return to Seoul.

Stay here for just five days.

With a little bit of repair, everything will go back to normal.

Eun Seop.

That must be where he is.

Why would he be in the mountains?

He goes there now and then, like a crazy person.

Why are you not afraid of the woods at night?

I know the place like the back of my hand.

I know it very well.

It's total chaos right now.

A person went missing in the mountain. The whole town is buzzing.

How could people ask Eun Seop to do that...

as if it was nothing?

Some people never share their worries their entire lives.

Like saying it's too hard...

or that it hurts too much.

Perhaps,

until the day they die.

What is that?

Are you selling sweet potatoes?

No, I just got some for free from my sister-in-law.

Good for you. You have someone who gives you sweet potatoes.

[Bukhyeonri, Downtown Hyecheon, Seohyeon Village.]

Remember to share some of them with me.

Of course, I'll share them with you.

That sounds great.

I'll...

go over with some rice wine.

[Bukhyeonri, Downtown Hyecheon, Seohyeon Village.]

I feel nauseous.

Of course you'll feel nauseous. We'll been in the bus for some time.

I feel so nauseous. Isn't it because we're getting old?

Give that to me.

[Noblewoman From the West]

Excuse me.

Is that you, Myeong Ju?

Hello, sir.

You've aged quite a bit.

Mum!

Mum!

Wait for me.

Grandma!

Was it a sudden unintended acceleration?

Did the accident occur from sudden acceleration...

or did the car move even when you stepped on the brakes?

No.

I didn't step on the brakes.

Even when your husband was in front of the car?

Yes.

Even when he was standing there.

Was it because you panicked...

or did you have a cramp in your leg...

No.

I saw my husband standing in front of the car.

But I didn't want...

to step on the brakes.

[Case File Year 2010]

[Statement Regarding Car Accident]

[Final Verdict] [Defendant: Shim Myeong Ju]

I sentence the defendant, Shim Myeong Ju, to seven years in prison.

Really?

However, considering the fact that the defendant was trying to run away...

from being assaulted by the victim and had committed the crime impulsively,

the fact that the victim assaulted the defendant habitually.

As he was partially responsible for this incident,

and the family of the victim does not want punishment...

[Cheongsan Women's Correctional Facility]

Ms. Mok Hae Won?

Inmate 3901 Shim Myeong Ju...

has refused to see you.

What?

[Sent back by the recipient.]

[Pray for the deceased's blessing.]

It really is the eldest daughter.

Really?

She's here?

She's the eldest daughter?

Mum.

[Good Night Bookstore]

Hae Won.

Hello?

Yes.

[Hodu House]

Mum, I'll explain what happened.

You can just knock the whole thing down.

Don't worry about the damage.

The guesthouse is already closed. Who cares how it looks?

You can just take...

A pipe burst while we were renovationg the house.

The contractor said it'll take two weeks.

Fix it in three days.

That's impossible.

He said it'll take 10 days.

Shall I get it done then?

No.

I'll speak with the contractor.

So, where are you guys staying at the moment?

She's staying with Eun Seop. I'm staying with Su Jeong.

-Eun Seop? -It's a guy. Su Jeong is a girl.

There are two rooms. I have my own room.

Where do I stay then?

You?

You can...

I'll talk to Su Jeong.

She'll let you stay at her place for a day or two at least.

By the way,

did you shut down the guesthouse?

How will you make a living?

You're too gutsy for your own good.

Don't you think so, Myeong Yeo?

[Good Night Bookstore]

Did you go home?

Yeah, my mum's here.

Your mum?

Yeah.

I only see her two times a year.

Hello.

You need to wait a little bit.

Okay.

It's hot these days.

Here are your extra noodles.

Once during summer...

-Hello. -Hello, I'd like the lean one.

One serving of the lean one!

Okay.

It's gotten pretty cold.

And once during winter.

Guess what we do when we meet up?

We grab a bite together.

Goodbye.

Then we part ways.

We don't have anything to talk about.

My mum has never been attentive towards her family.

I see.

I wonder why she came.

Did she show up out of the blue? Without even calling you?

Yes.

I'm sure there's another reason.

She hates visiting her hometown.

She always says this place reminds her of my dad.

Then...

It's so sudden.

I wonder why she's here.

You two. Hands up.

Hey, you! Your skirt!

Young Soo.

You're amazing.

Guys, learn from Young Soo.

Young Soo, we meet again.

I run into you every morning.

Is this fate?

By the way, what did you do yesterday?

I read a book,

a novel.

It's called Me, Natasha and the White Donkey.

So?

What? Oh, are you asking about my afterthought?

I thought it was boring. Jang Woo liked it though.

That's not what I meant.

Do you mean the price?

Was it 12,800 won? Or was it 11,500 won?

Aren't you in 11th grade?

Yes, I am. My name is Lim Hwi.

Lim Hwi.

What's wrong?

Do you have regrets...

because you rejected me the other day?

No. I have no regrets.

What is it then?

It just bothers me a little. I'm in my senior year.

So?

You're talking as if we're friends.

That's because I like to talk to everyone in a casual manner.

It's because you like to talk to everyone in a casual manner?

That's right.

Then I must reject you because I like to turn everyone down.

What?

Don't ever talk to me before I graduate.

One more thing.

Me, Natasha and the White Donkey isn't a novel.

It's poetry.

What?

You should know this if you've read it.

A novel is a fictitious prose narrative...

based on factual events or the author's imagination,

whereas poetry...

is a form of literature that expresses thoughts and feelings about life...

in a symbolic,

rhythmical language.

-What? -Forget it.

What? That's a poem?

I thought it was a novel because it was so long.

Wait, if the author wants to write a poem that long,

the author should give the readers a heads-up.

Did he reject me again just now?

Did he?

Hwi.

You want to know what type of girl a top student likes?

Yeah. What type of girl? Tell me.

Like who? Give me an example.

No one.

He'd have no interest in girls at all.

What?

Staying as a top student...

while also being interested in girls? Impossible.

Jang Woo, then what about guys...

who get good grades...

and are athletic as well as popular among girls?

Those types of guys are called unicorns.

What? Unicorns?

The horse that has a horn and can fly?

What I meant was they only exist in our imagination.

What? Seriously? I don't believe that.

He has no interest in girls?

But he's at the age where...

Hey!

You guys don't even have enough time to study.

You want to talk about girls?

He can't afford to be interested in girls.

My goodness, why is the bus taking so long?

You really think so?

Were you like that too?

No, I'm a unicorn.

But seriously, believe me.

A top student would never...

Right, Jang Woo said he probably has no interest in girls.

It's no wonder Young Soo kept rejecting me.

-It's because I'm a girl. -Hey! Big news!

-Song Jae In got a boyfriend! -That's why he rejected me.

-Who? -Kim Young Soo.

The Kim Young Soo that I know?

No way.

Song Jae In is probably courting him.

Which means, they're probably seeing each other.

I feel bad for him.

Will he be beaten up?

I wonder. She has weird taste in guys.

This is crazy.

I don't know what it's like in the orchestra industry,

but I've met so many crazy people in the literature industry.

Everyone thought he or she was the next Virginia Woolf,

Natsume Soseki, Svetlana Alexievich,

Patrick Suskind, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin,

or Milan Kundera.

Those narcissistic jerks thought of themselves...

as thinkers...

and geniuses.

And it doesn't end there.

They believed everything that came out of their mouth was literature.

I couldn't stand them. It was four years of pure torture.

Among them was this huge nutcase.

Can you guess who?

I'm not sure.

You.

That's right.

The biggest nutcase of them all.

The nutcase of nutcases.

The best of nutcases in history. Who's that?

It's me.

It was me.

I was the weirdest person in the entire Isin University.

But there was one person who was weirder than me.

Do you know who?

Who?

Mum.

Correct.

That's right.

That's your mum.

Wherever she goes, she is the weirdest one.

She has no common sense...

and is incapable of communicating with others.

She is cold, mean, scary...

Auntie.

Fine, I get it.

You can stop now. I already know all of that.

You do?

What's your point?

Stand up.

We have to go out.

We're going out? Why?

Your mum wants to eat with us.

But why?

Who knows?

If she wants us to go, we just have to.

Come.

Do you want a ride?

Hae Won, you better hurry up.

Let's go.

By the way,

why are you here?

What did you say?

Nothing.

[Sanduel Bookstore]

Someone told me...

Yes?

Shim Myeong Ju is back.

Yes.

A few more people asked me on my way here.

That's because...

Myeong Ju used to be so famous.

I guess.

She was...

one year younger than me.

She was very pretty.

She's still beautiful.

But she seems to be cold.

That's her charm.

Back then, every boy in this town...

had a crush on Myeong Ju.

I'm so hungry.

Hey.

It's Shim Myeong Ju.

Where?

Let's go.

I was always curious about...

who would marry a girl like her.

Surprisingly,

she married a guy who was the most devoted to her.

It's raining. Take your time.

She ended up getting pregnant.

Still,

I was so sure she'd live a happy life.

I'll take these.

Oh, these too?

I'll give you a 20% discount.

It's 102,200 won.

I'll wire you the money.

Do you still have any self-published books?

Occasionally.

There's a pile of them over there.

You can have a look.

I will.

I hope you'll find something interesting.

Hello.

Hello, Hae Won.

I'm done here. Where are you?

I'm done too,

but I'm meeting someone else.

Yes.

It'll take around an hour.

Sure, you can go home first.

I see. Okay.

[See you.]

It's me, Eun Seop.

Where should we meet?

Are you going home?

Yes.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

[The Garden]

Welcome.

Do you have camellias?

Camellias? One second, please.

Another customer ordered some too, so these are all I have.

How much do you need?

I'll take half of them.

Sure.

Do you want me to mix them with other flowers?

No, thank you.

Have you been well?

You’re here.

What do you want to drink?

I'm going to get...

What's the matter?

Is it something urgent?

Did something happen?

[The Garden]

[Bukhyeonri, Downtown Hyecheon, Seohyeon Village, headed downtown]

Your bowtie is so pretty.

Hey, did you hear?

Mok Hae Won took away the guy Kim Bo Yeong had a crush on.

Really?

I heard that too.

Kim Bo Yeong said she was the victim.

I feel so sorry for her.

Who was the guy Kim Bo Yeong liked?

Mok Hae Won took away the guy Kim Bo Yeong had a crush on.

Lim Eun Seop.

Look.

You know what?

I have a crush on someone.

Who is it?

The loner in our class who loves to read!

The loner who loves to read?

Yeah!

I like him so much!

Hey.

When did you get in?

Just now.

Mum.

Why are you really here?

You have no reason to come.

I doubt you came to see me or Auntie.

And it isn't Grandma's or Dad's death anniversary.

So why did you come back?

Did you leave something behind?

You should've told me then.

I could've sent it to you and save you all the trouble.

Well,

I don't even know your home address anyway.

Are you...

trying to pick a fight with me?

Why would I do that?

Have you ever fought with me?

I don't think I have.

Am I right?

You're right.

Why are you here?

Are you not going to tell me?

It doesn't have anything to do with you.

Why are you laughing?

It doesn't have anything to do with you.

I heard that so many times.

But do you know what's really funny?

That sentence...

is not what a parent says to a child.

It's what a child says to a parent.

But you always say this to everyone.

You said that to Auntie, Grandma and even Dad.

That doesn't...

Have anything to do with me.

You're right, I know.

Then,

what exactly can we talk about?

I really want to know.

What can I ask you and tell you?

All this time, I haven't asked you anything.

Did I ever ask you anything?

Where you live right now, who you live with,

whether you live alone, why you don't live with me,

I never asked why we only see each other...

twice a year when you say we're family.

Why...

Why did you always refuse to see me when I visited...

and never replied to my letters?

Why did you...

do that to Dad back then?

Is my assumption correct?

That's enough.

Did you really kill him,

or...

did it happen somehow...

and you went to prison because you felt sorry for Dad?

I never asked, did I?

Stop it.

It was hard for me too back then.

Back then,

my heart hurt so much.

I know it wasn't as much as you, but I really wanted to die too.

I wanted to cry my heart out and ask someone...

what I did wrong to receive this type of punishment.

But I didn't.

Because I had no one to ask.

Everyone was busy tending their own wounds and abandoned me.

Leaving me all alone.

That's why...

seeing you here so suddenly like this...

makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward.

So, go back tomorrow.

And next time you come, call me in advance.

I'm back.

Hey, Shim Myeong Yeo.

Do you want one egg or two?

One.

Hey, where's my sister?

I don't know.

She was gone when I woke up.

♫ Eat jjajangmyeon when you're annoyed ♫

♫ Eat ulmyeon when you're depressed ♫

Kids, watch out for cars!

-Hello! -Hello!

Seung Ho, Ha Yoon,

and Yoo...

Hey, you over there.

Hello, Ms. Shim.

You can just address me comfortably.

Yes, madam.

Do you have time for a little chat?

Me?

Yes, you.

You asked why she came too?

Yes.

What did she say?

I don't know, but she's going back tomorrow.

-Tomorrow? -Yes.

Why on earth did she come without even calling?

I just don't understand.

Okay.

Can I help you with anything?

No.

Hey. The repair work will end tomorrow. You know, right?

Yeah, I know.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

What about the kitchen?

You can just tear down the whole space.

Thank you.

You're not going to sit down?

No, I'm all right.

So you and Hae Won are friends?

Yeah, since we were young.

Can I ask you if she's ever...

Yes?

Never mind.

I'll just get straight to the point.

Okay, go on.

Myeong Yeo told me...

that you know Park Hin Dol.

Yes, I do know him.

Can you...

make sure he receives these letters?

I have no way of returning them to him myself.

He didn't even write his address.

[Sender: Park Hin Dol] [Recipient: Shim Myeong Ju]

Sure, I'll make sure he receives these letters.

I have something to tell him as well.

Can you relay my message to him?

No.

I don't think I can do that.

Is that so?

Well, it's not good news, right?

No, it's not.

Then, I'll just deliver these letters to him.

Okay.

Alright.

That's all.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Anyway,

have we met before?

I feel like...

we have.

Yes. We met before.

It is you.

That's right.

Look at you, all grown up.

What was my mum doing here?

She just stopped by.

Do you know each other?

No, but I met her in the past.

When?

It was...

I think I was about ten years old.

[Hyecheon Bus Terminal]

I saw her at the bus terminal.

What's up, kiddo?

Are you fascinated by me or something?

Yes.

Why are you fascinated?

Because you're pretty.

And that thing is cool too.

This?

This is...

what fashionable people wear.

It's like a pair of glasses.

Oh, I see.

What?

Ma'am, are you a beautiful person?

I am a beautiful person.

Why?

Do you want to see my eyes?

Yes.

You must have really beautiful eyes.

You think so?

Then...

Kiddo, since you said you wanted to see my eyes,

I shall show you.

How did she look?

How do I look?

Do you think I look pretty?

I thought she was beautiful.

I see.

To tell you the truth, I wasn't in a good mood yesterday.

Why?

I saw you downtown.

You were with Bo Yeong.

Can I ask you a question?

Hello.

How have you been?

These are your favourite flowers.

I brought them since it's your birthday.

You carried...

these all the way here?

It's my birthday today.

I'll make you happy for the rest of your life.

Will you marry me?

I still...

hate you.

And I hate this day...

because it's the day where my misfortune began.

Did you come here...

to get your...

clothes?

If you had told me earlier,

I could have sent them to you.

I wanted to choose which one to take.

Next time, give me a call beforehand...

so I can go shopping.

I often forget his birthday since it's on the lunar calendar.

And...

we never celebrated his birthday anyway.

He never forgot your birthday or Hae Won's birthday, but...

Hey.

What?

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

By the way,

Hae Won...

Looks like she's angry with me.

She's been angry with you for the past 30 years.

But...

she'll stop being angry if you do just one thing.

What is it?

A letter.

Write her a letter...

just like the one you wrote for me.

She suddenly asked me to meet her.

Hello.

Eun Seop, it's Bo Yeong.

Hello.

Do you have time later?

I was wondering if we could meet up?

Well, I need a favour.

Have you been well?

Hello.

What do you want to drink?

I'm going to get...

What's the matter?

I was wondering if you could help me.

How can I help you?

I want to...

go back to being friends with Hae Won.

But Hae Won won't listen to me.

She keeps getting the wrong idea.

I want to be friends with Hae Won again.

It's been ten years.

It feels wrong to go on like this.

That's how I feel.

Can you help me?

I didn't like people...

who showed up at my door after being turned down by me.

Some people think that's romantic,

but I disagree.

I felt like they ignored my feelings...

and wanted to have their way.

They should respect my feelings if I turn them down.

They should accept it if I don't want to accept their apology.

Am I wrong?

You're right.

Bo Yeong's attitude makes me uncomfortable. I don't like it.

Hae Won,

should we do something that will make you feel better?

Eun Seop.

It's nothing.

Yes, Grandpa.

I'm on the way. I'm almost here.

Are you at the village hall?

Why don't you ask Dad about that?

Okay.

See you soon.

Wait, where am I?

I think it was that way.

[Something small and trivial...]

[enters my body sometimes.]

Hey, are you blind or something?

You little brat.

What are you doing?

[Like the prickly seeds of a cocklebur.]

What?

[Or like Min Seok's fingers that slightly grazed my armpit.]

Jae In is looking for you.

Darn it.

[Or like a toothache that troubled me every time I forget about it.]

Hey, wait for me!

[Like the smell of jjajangmyeon that we ate after class.]

[Something small and trivial...]

[enters my body sometimes.]

[Something small and trivial...]

[that doesn't even know my body is its prison.]

[It enters my body...]

[sometimes to give me an intense hug.]

[Written by An Do Hyeon. It's a poem titled Something Small and Trivial.]

Jang Woo, isn't this supposed to be here?

-No, it's always been there. -You can wear that.

My goodness, I held it in for so long.

Why did you do that?

That was an amazing poem.

I had a great time, as always.

Everyone, take a pie with you.

-You didn't have to prepare them. -They were on discounts.

What's wrong with your sister?

I don't know. She's like that the whole time.

I'm so scared. Your sister seriously scares me.

She's so bright, and suddenly angry.

It really freaks me out.

I'm scared too.

You are, right?

I'll see you next week.

-Okay. -See you next week.

Goodbye, Uncle.

Good night, Hwi.

Okay, Hae Won. Goodbye.

I was really scared. I mean, really frightened.

I think I have a phobia for angry women...

because of my mum.

Anyway, I better get going.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Whatever, see you someday.

Why are you so busy lately?

I'm preparing for Hyecheon High School's joint reunion.

We're really doing that?

Didn't you receive a text?

It's in two days, to celebrate our school's 50th anniversary.

You both have to come. Okay?

But why are you preparing for that on your own?

Oh, the thing is...

during our student president gathering,

I accidentally suggested that...

we should hold a joint reunion just like foreign schools...

because I think it would be fun.

And they told me to prepare it, so I've been spending days on it.

I haven't been getting any sleep. I had to call everyone.

Now, I'm only preparing for this event and it is exhausting.

It's so exhausting, but I still have so much to do.

See you then.

-Hang in there. -Goodbye.

Let's go inside.

I think someone left something behind.

I'm sorry, but...

Hurry up!

What?

You're Mok Hae Won.

Do I know you?

What?

You're Mok Hae Won.

[Good Night Bookstore Private Blog Posting]

[I thought about what I said to Irene before.]

[All first loves are past perfect?] [Why did I say something like that?]

[Thanks to the repair work at Hodu House, she and I are sharing the same space.]

[If she asks me again, I can tell her...]

[that most first loves are past perfect, but I'm an exception.]

[That I haven't completed anything yet.]

[PS: Irene brought home some camellias.]

[She tells me about her family, it feels like I'm getting closer to her.]

[When The Weather Is Fine]

I came here because of you.

Just to see you again.

You can go up and rest.

I'll clean up the rest.

Today's the day I go back home.

Hyecheon High School's...

joint reunion party...

will be held on the school grounds at 10 pm tonight.

Did you see? Oh Yeong Woo came too.

And he came with Mok Hae Won.

Does that bother you?

Regardless of how you feel for me right now,

I don't want to know.

It doesn't matter.

Is there someone you like?
