Jin Ho...

Mom! Don't leave!

Wait for me...

Mom!

Don't leave!

Mom.

Im Eun Seob!

Im Eun Seob!

Wow, I see that Eun Seob is really happy.

Your mom, dad and sister are beaming this much.

To me, it looks like Eun Seob is really happy?

Eun Seob, what's the matter? Eun Seob!

Eun Seob, stop it. Look at me. Eun Seob, what's wrong?

Im Eun Seob!

Eun Seob.

Did you go somewhere? What about your cold?

You're sick, how can you be wearing so little?

I'm not cold.

Did something happen to your face?

[Episode 8 The place where suspicions come true]

Sit.

I thought you were here because the lights were on.

I usually leave them on. If someone is lost, they can see them.

‐ Did you get hurt? ‐ I had a small tumble.

Why? You're good at mountain climbing.

Are you going to be all right?

Why did you come here?

I came because you weren't there. Everyone is worried about you.

So you came alone at night.

I took a flashlight with me this time.

I heard it was only a 30‐minute walk and it was just that.

I didn't fall even once.

Didn't I tell you not to come?

It was an easier walk than I thought.

And also wore the boots you bought me‐‐

I didn't give them to you so you could come here.

Next time, don't ever come up here again.

Even if I am sick again.

Even if I don't go back down.

Don't ever come up.

Drink this and come on out.

Once upon a time, a brother and sister set off.

Because they wanted to become happy.

They had heard that somewhere on Earth was a blue bird that gives happiness.

Climbing the mountain and crossing the river,

at last the brother and sister arrived in the village

where the blue bird was said to be.

But there, there was nothing like a blue bird,

the harbinger of happiness.

Go in.

In the end, the brother and sister come back home,

without having found the blue bird.

‐ You... ‐ No.

What?

‐ Hey! Eat before going! ‐ I don't have an appetite. Later.

Why did you come here?

You're here.

‐ The package deliveryman will come later‐‐ ‐ I know.

[Hyecheon West Market]

We're here, Mother.

‐ You came to the market? ‐ Oh, hello! It's been quite a long time.

‐ Is the skating rink business doing well? ‐ Ah well, just so‐so.

Ah right! There are some sweet potatoes

I left to dry there, you should come and take some.

I've been meaning to visit you but haven't yet. Go shop.

Yes, go safely!

‐ Yun Ji's mom. ‐ You're here, Unni?

So, your son is still sick?

‐ What's this, he's not! ‐ Give me some herbs for chongmyeong‐tang.

Why chongmyeong‐tang?

To give it to Hui.

But you said you didn't want to give her any.

You did say so!

That for a kid who's been consistently bad at studying,

giving this wasn't going to change a thing.

Even when I told you I would sell for cheap and to please take some,

you would only buy a lot for your son‐‐

Ah quick, just give it now!

Mom.

You only call me Mom when you feel bad.

You're very angry, aren't you?

I told you not to go.

Even when you go there when you're fine it gets on my nerves,

but why would you go there when you're that sick? Uh, why?

‐ Oh, you came to the market with your son? ‐ Ah yes, Madam. Hello.

How many times have you done this to me?

Last time, you went because someone had disappeared,

let's say it's fine.

It annoyed me, but let's say it couldn't be helped.

But this time you were sick. You were sick. Then you shouldn't have gone.

What is that place worth, that you keep going there?

Exactly what is there? That you would go in that condition?

‐ Mother, those back mountains aren't much‐‐ ‐ What isn't much?

I was wrong.

I was wrong, Mother.

‐ I don't know, forget it. ‐ I saw that woman.

What?

In the morning, I was sitting on the wooden floor,

and I saw an apparition of that woman.

So I followed her, and I found myself in the mountain.

I, I told you it was dangerous.

I won't...

go to the mountain without your permission again.

I won't go to the cabin, or rather, I won't go anywhere,

without your permission.

‐ You really mean this? ‐ Yes.

Alright...

Next time, don't ever come up here again.

[Blue Bird]

Oh! Noona. I came to eat some sawdust porridge.

You said sawdust porridge, so I thought it was really porridge made with sawdust.

It's oatmeal porridge.

It looks like sawdust was put in it, so I made that name up.

Then does it also taste like sawdust?

No, absolutely not. It's really delicious. Very savory.

‐ That's a relief. ‐ Thank you.

Hey. I'm going somewhere today.

Where are you going?

Near Seoul. I have something to do there.

‐ You're going now? ‐ Yes. I'll come back tomorrow.

I'll leave Chestnut to Su Jeong.

Alright.

Take good care of the boiler. If it bursts again, it's over.

Alright.

And sweep the back yard, too. And eat your meals properly.

Ah, come on!

Seung Ho, eat. Eat.

Where are you going?

‐ Oh, hello! Oh, so cute. ‐ Hello.

Come here.

‐ To Seoul. ‐ Why Seoul?

I have almost no royalties coming in now.

If I want to keep putting food on the table in the long term,

I think I have to write one more novel at least.

‐ Really? ‐ That's what the publishers said to coax me.

Ah, what's that?

But this time, I'm thinking about hearing them out.

Five years of living expenses went up in smoke to repair the house.

As expected, hardships will make creativity surge.

Don't get carried away. I don't know how it'll turn out.

If I don't have anything, I can just live without.

I'm going.

Yes, I won't get carried away, Ms. Writer.

Have a good trip, Ms. Writer.

Don't worry about Chestnut, Ms. Writer.

Eun Seob! Eun Seob!

Oh, it's Hae Won.

‐ What about Eun Seob? ‐ He's not here. What's all this?

Things Eun Seob asked me to get for him.

And this is...

This is for you.

‐ What's this again? ‐ Oh Yeong Wu asked me to give this to you.

Oh Yeong Wu?

Yes. He has a café in Seoul.

He said you should drop by when you go back to Seoul in spring.

But why do you look so pale? Did you catch a cold?

I don't know, I'm just a bit cold.

Hey, colds are nasty here.

You should go see the doctor, take some medicine.

It'll probably get better.

It won't get better. Nowadays you have to go see a doctor for your cold to get better‐‐

I'm going.

Ah yes, you're done? I'm going. Go to see a doctor. See you in a bit.

‐ There was such a place around here? ‐ And get medicine!

So you're already done, let's go.

When they separated, what might they have said?

Hey. Get lost.

When they left, did he carry her bag?

You aren't leaving?

Why are you making a fuss and following me home?

Myeong Yeo.

Don't call my name, Cha Yun Taek.

Why was it in the evening, of all times?

Get off at the next station. I can't stand the sight of you.

Did they cry as much as they had grown used to each other?

Don't cry and get off!

What's going on? Are they fighting?

But I‐I like you so much.

I love you so much.

Somewhere at the end of the world, there is love...

We go there at full speed,

Love, my butt.

I can't live without you.

Can't live, my butt.

We harvest love,

and then come back to the other end of the world,

in a condition where there is no more energy left in us.

We call that a parting.

But when we have exhausted all our energy into one thing, like this,

we call this

love as well.

[The Wind Blows, and I Love You]

[Good Night Bookstore]

Hae Won, you can go now.

‐ What is it? ‐ We have cold medicine at home, right?

‐ We do. ‐ Bring it to the bookstore.

‐ What? ‐ I'm telling you to bring it to the bookstore.

Eun Seob.

In an hour there's the book club meeting, anyway.

Can't I bring it at that time?

Ah, right.

What?

Then make sure to bring it to the book club meeting.

Wh‐What? What did you say? Hey!

My daughter, Dad is here.

Dad. Im Eun Seob just called,

and do you know what he said to me?

What did he say?

He sent me on an errand. Im Eun Seob made me run an errand.

Oh, is that so?

And in an extremely overbearing and mean tone, at that!

"You rascal, take the medicine bag and bring it to the bookstore right now, rascal!"

That's how he sounded. He sent me, me, on an errand.

Making me a medicine shuttle!

Dad! Are you listening to me right now?

Of course I am.

That won't do.

[Blue Bird]

Good evening!

Hi, Hae Won! Have you been well?

‐ Here I am again! ‐ Unni, good evening.

Oh my, good evening.

Hae Won, did you go to the doctor? The thing about cold...

‐ You caught a cold? ‐ She caught a cold.

Where is our crazy Im Eun Seob?

Hey, Im Eun Seob! Don't ask me troublesome things in the future.

Today, we have red bean bread.

It's red bean bread? Oh, must be so tasty!

Seung Ho, grab this, we'll move it. One, two.

Su Jeong, come here a second.

Oh Seung Ho, you caused trouble!

Oh man.

‐ Oh, thank you. ‐ Oh, sorry.

Oh my, this is very savory.

‐ Eat a lot. ‐ Thank you!

I can't take my hands off these.

‐ Grandpa is roasting red been paste breads. ‐ Really?

Let's eat it together!

‐ You made this yourself, right? ‐ Of course!

Oh. Right!

Not long ago I read a beautiful article.

An 80‐year‐old elder living in England

decides to leave on a trip, taking with him the travel guide

he treasured his whole life.

The elder decides to take a plane to Bavaria, in Germany.

There, was a thriving city which held a music festival each year.

But it was strange.

He definitely followed the information in the travel guide,

but far from finding a city, he only got lost in a dense forest.

The elder, after being stranded in the forest for two days,

barely managed to get out.

He came back to his hometown and showed folks that the map was strange.

But someone looked at the handbook and said this:

"Look, wasn't this travel guide published just after World War One?"

"A hundred years have passed since World War One has ended, already."

The old man did in fact go to the place he had always dreamed of visiting.

That place was a completely different world compared to the map

he had studied for so long.

[An English Elder's Special Journey]

What do you mean a beautiful article? Isn't it a sad article?

I know, right?

Really? It seemed beautiful to me.

Well, he did fail. But he did go through all that for his happiness

and to fulfill his dream.

For that alone I wanted to applaud him. As you all know, my dream...

is to leave this place and go somewhere far away.

Well, his attempt was courageous and beautiful...

but in the case of this article‐‐

For some reason this seems similar to the story about the blue bird.

In that story as well, the siblings left on a journey

to find the blue bird of happiness

but they were unable to find it, so they came back.

‐ That's so sad, Noona. ‐ No. It was alright.

When they went back, they found that in the bird cage at their house,

there was a blue bird of happiness.

‐ It was a perfect happy ending. ‐ Wow!

‐ I don't really like that story. ‐ Why not?

I mean, it doesn't make sense. Happiness was always by my side

but I just didn't know? Isn't that too absurd?

I mean, what's wrong with that? It's possible that you don't know.

It's just like how I am a gem of a girl but Kim Yeong Su doesn't know.

‐ It's because you are not a gem to him. ‐ No.

Anyhow. As for me, I don't really find this story all that great.

Really? But still...

That's right. I think the same.

If I journeyed far to find the blue bird of happiness,

when the blue bird of happiness was in my home all along...

Isn't that story just an excuse that we make to comfort ourselves

because we find it difficult to find happiness?

I think that happiness is far away.

‐ Unni, but... ‐ You're right. This is just what I think‐‐

No, that's not it. I'm saying I am a gem.

I am definitely a gem.

But I saw him with Song Jae In!

Song Jae In? Who is Song Jae In?

Where are you thinking of doing your book‐signing event?

I'm not sure... I guess that's up to you.

There's that "Meeting with the author" thing. What do you think?

Sounds good. I like anything you want, darling.

But... can we have one more drink?

Okay, then, let's have one.

‐ Bye, Noona! ‐ But still!

‐ Bye! ‐ Goodbye!

‐ I will go too. ‐ Just a minute.

‐ Take this with you. ‐ What is it?

It's medicine.

If you take this and then get some rest, you'll get better quickly.

Don't worry. It's fine.

Hae Won.

Mok Hae Won.

‐ Take this. ‐ I told you there's no need.

‐ But still... ‐ I don't want to. I won't take it. I am going.

‐ Hae Won. ‐ I said that I won't take it.

‐ Take this. ‐ You got better without taking any medicine.

If I don't take any medicine and get a good rest,

when I get up I will feel better.

Take it. I beg you.

Okay?

Then what will you do for me?

If I take this, what will you be able to do for me?

‐ Must I do something for you? ‐ Yes.

I wish you would.

‐ Like what? ‐ Like giving me a response to my confession.

I want to hear it. Will you be able to do that?

I am sorry.

I am really sorry.

I like you, Im Eun Seob.

Mom, Mom!

Mom, mom! You know that book, where is it?

I don't know. What book?

That one! The required reading for this week!

I have to take it back to school today but it's not here!

Didn't you give it to Eun Seob?

You asked him to read it in your place and tell you the content.

Ah right! What do I do? What should I do?

What do you mean? Just call Eun Seob.

Right, call him! Then, I'll just grab my bag!

Yes. Hello?

Yes, Father.

You know, the book you took from Hui last time?

Ah. That novel?

‐ The title was... ‐ Oh.

What's the title?

Something like Catcher?

She says it's something with Catcher?

The Catcher in the Rye...

Really?

I'll bring it right away.

Yes.

What did he say? Where was it? What did he say? Did he say he would bring it?

What did he say? I am in a hurry, Dad. Hurry!

That, that is...

That is what? Dad, if I get penalty points this time too, I'm doomed.

My whole life will be doomed! So, that is what?

He said that it is in the mountain.

No way!

He said its in a backpack he left in mountain.

He took it last time and didn't bring it b‐‐

That's enough. Tell him to bring it right now.

Tell him to climb up the mountain like a squirrel and bring it back.

‐ Right? ‐ No!

No. Never. Not the mountain.

I said no!

‐ Mother. ‐ No. Absoulely not. You hear me? Alright?

I'll take responsibility toward Hui. So you absolutely can't go. Understood?

‐ No. I just... ‐ You definitely promised me

that you would not go there. Isn't that so?

Yes, that is true, but...

I would rather go get it instead. Is that fine?

If not, you and me together...

Mother, how are you going to go there?

Well then don't go at all. I just...

Hae Won. Do you have time now, by any chance?

Are you busy?

Mother. Don't be like this.

Talk with me.

This is not a situation where you can do this.

Why?

But why?

Talk with me.

[Good Night Bookstore]

You can ignore what my mother said.

She was worried when I suddenly disappeared last time,

that's why she asked you.

I can just go by myself.

I will tell my mother that we went together.

Im Eun Seob.

I could do that.

But I have never lied about something like that before.

Let's just go together. It's no big deal.

Did you know there was something like this here?

Yes.

It's a grave, though.

It's a place where whatever you're expecting comes true.

Whatever you're expecting?

If you think about something you have a gut feeling about in this place,

it comes true.

Was it when I was in high school?

It was making me very anxious that my father was driving the cultivator.

You're here?

What is the matter, Mother?

Your father, he was on the cultivator...

In the end, he got hurt.

But that's scary.

It means the misfortune you feared comes true.

No.

Sometimes, an intuition about a good thing comes true as well.

Hae Won. Hae Won, where are you sitting?

C‐3

It's the first time I see a wooden gravestone.

The date of birth and date of death are question marks.

Don't make conjectures.

They'll become reality.

You go on first.

That path leads to the top of the mountain.

Since I came here, I'm going to walk there.

Go.

It's slippery there.

Hold it.

So if you walk for just an hour, you can see this.

It's nice.

To be honest,

I don't think I can look at you straight in the eyes.

That you don't like me...

I just have to accept that one fact.

But I'm having a hard time doing it. I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Because you were so warm...

Because you were so warm to me...

I guess that's why I assumed there was something more.

But I won't, anymore. I won't assume that.

You told me not to do it, so I won't.

I won't do it anymore.

But, Im Eun Seob...

Never mind. Let's go.

The blue bird exists, Mok Hae Won.

Liar.

Really. Trust me.

But you've never seen it, Aunt.

That's because it usually doesn't show itself.

It only appears occasionally.

How does it appear?

Like a miracle.

A miracle? What is it?

How?

My expectation came true.

It's something you thought could never happen, happening.

Who does that?

The blue bird does, of course.

These things are done by the blue bird always by your side.

That bird makes miracles.

I thought you disliked me.

There's no way.

Wait, you two, what kind of atmosphere is this?

What I saw earlier, it was for real, right?

Sim Myeong Yeo. You should write a novel about everything you have gone through

from your university days until now.

Your book, Eun Seob.

Do you really have no thought of releasing it?

‐ What? ‐ Just.

I wondered what I should do if you suddenly disappear.

I was anxious about it all.

That my precarious moment of happiness could disappear in an instant.
