Original subtitles

‐ Hae Won. ‐ Yes?

‐ I have to bend down to pick that up. ‐ Go ahead.

‐ I go down? ‐ Yes, go down.

‐ You're teasing me, aren't you? ‐ I'm not.

What teasing? I'm doing this out of fondness.

‐ I'm perceptive too, you know. ‐ You aren't perceptive.

‐ Is that so? ‐ Yep. Jang Wu is perceptive.

You're right.

Eun Seob! Eun Seob, Eun Seob, Eun Seob!

‐ You're here, Hui? ‐ Oh, you're here?

What's this? What's going on?

What is what?

Say, Gwon Hyeon Ji. I saw something strange.

What did you see?

Eun Seob and our Unni Hae Won...

No. What?

I think they ate something. It smells like it.

What are you saying?

Oppa. Today she went to buy a saddle and got chased out by the owner.

Hey, I told you not to tell!

Do you know how stupid she was?

She tried to buy a 300,000 won saddle for 30,000 won.

Stop it. Stop it.

But why did you come here?

I came to steal Eun Seob's wallet, but since he's here I can't.

‐ Is that so? ‐ Yes.

‐ Then let's go. ‐ Yes.

Let's eat something, us too. I'm hungry.

‐ Let's finish what we started. ‐ What?

[Episode 10 Let's have an event]

Hello!

How is it going, Chief Hong?

The business is driving me crazy these days.

I know, right?

Excuse me. Do you know where Mr. Im Jong Pil lives?

‐ Im Jong Pil? Im Jong Pil... ‐ Isn't it Ηyeongnim Jong Pil?

Right, it's him, Jong Pil.

Why are you asking for Jong Pil?

That's true, why?

We have every sort of screws, Ηyeongnim. You know?

Hello‐‐ Ouch.

Yes?

Someone is looking for Im Jong Pil.

If you're talking about Ahjussi Jong Pil, isn't that Eun Seob's father?

Who is looking for him?

‐ You have to take a shot, okay? ‐ I got it, I got it.

I won't let you win.

Cosmos, 17,000 won.

Please sign here.

‐ Don't put that on the pool table! ‐ Okay, okay.

‐ I got it, I got it. ‐ It isn't the first time!

Quickly take your shot, come on.

Wait a minute, let me gauge it first!

Gauge? What is there to gauge! You can just hit there!

Take this and leave.

Isn't that Ahjussi Jong Pil? I heard...

Hurry and take your shot!

I'll be going.

‐ You can just take a shot like this! ‐ Ah really!

Over there! Jong Pil! Jong Pil!

What?

Come for a second.

‐ Looking for me? ‐ Yes.

He was asking for you at the bus terminal.

Who?

Uhm... Eun Seob's... uhm, it seems like it's that person, maybe...

Look here. Don't think of running away.

We're having the second round at Jinju's.

‐ Let's go. ‐ Hyeongnim, come on quick.

‐ Hyung, you played well. ‐ Yes, well.

Alright. Thanks.

Im Hui!

Hey, Im Hui!

Why isn't she coming?

Im Hui!

"Im" as in clinical test, and "Hui" as in whistle!

Im Hui!

Gwon Hyeong Ji, Gwon Hyeon Ji, Gwon Hyeon Ji!

Oh it's cold!

What's this?

Do you like me, perhaps?

‐ Shut up. ‐ That'd be problematic, though.

‐ What are you doing? ‐ Nothing.

But isn't it the first time we link arms like this?

‐ Be quiet. ‐ No no no.

Im Eun Seob.

Eun Seob...

Wake up. Wake up and play with me. I'm bored.

Eun Seob.

Im Eun Seob?

Hae Won.

‐ Does it taste good? ‐ What did you do?

How does it taste?

It tastes weird.

You're bad.

What is it?

You were glowing.

‐ What? ‐ Nothing.

‐ Eun Seob. ‐ Yes?

Shall I prepare you a meal?

Y‐You?

What's with that reaction? I'm good at cooking! Better than Aunt, at least.

It's true! I don't put ham in doenjang stew.

It tastes fishy.

What might have gone wrong?

I mean, I should know your mobile phone number.

Why are you protecting your private life so thoroughly?

Get to the point, crybaby.

What are you going to do about the contract?

I made the offer, but I can't wait forever.

Ah...

So what is it? Will you do it or not?

I'll do it.

What? You'll do it?

If you've got a complaint about it, then I won't.

N‐No no no, wait. I don't have any complaint, but...

Then send the contract by registered mail, crybaby. Within a week.

No no no, wait! Wait!

That is... we don't send contracts by registered mail, you see?

Then how do you send it? Do you tie it on a pigeon's leg?

You see, madam,

in our company we really like to meet people.

So my schedule is full of meetings with people.

For now, let's see...

For now, come up here anytime.

I'm extremely busy, but I'll make some time especially for you.

The address here is Paju city, Hoedong street‐‐

6:18, 9:18, 12:18 in the morning.

3:18, 6:18 in the afternoon, and 9:18 in the evening.

This is our town's train timetable.

Then, are you telling me to go there?

It looks like you're unaware of this,

but the one who makes the request comes, usually.

No but, Myeong‐‐ He‐Hello?

Aunt, are you signing a contract for a book?

When did you arrive?

Just now. But are you signing a contract?

Yeah, I am.

You used to make such a fuss saying that you hate writing.

You said you couldn't think of anything and that the spring of creativity had dried up,

so what's going on now?

When a person hits rock bottom, the only way they can go is up.

Poverty and destitution have come to me just in time for this.

That being said, where are you going with that?

I feel quite uncomfortable seeing my carrots, my potatoes, and my tomatoes in your hands.

These? I bought them with my own money.

‐ With your own money? ‐ Yeah.

I bought them while I stayed at Eun Seob's place, so they're mine.

So, you bought them.

Anyway, I'm really curious about your next book. I really loved your novels.

‐ If you can publish it this time‐‐ ‐ Hey.

It's almost spring.

You should end your winter hibernation, too. Didn't you say you'd go back in the spring?

What, who?

Eun Seob's biological father.

Mom! Where's my gym top?

Check your bottom drawer!

That person is dead.

Who else would it be?

The... uncle?

I think so.

Seeing the whole neighborhood go crazy about seeing Eun Seob's father...

Go crazy?

This darned neighborhood. I knew I had a bad feeling about this place.

They do the meanest things and

are quick to gossip the very second something happens.

All they do is gossip!

Someone here is a vagrant hidden in the mountains,

and that's all they talk about.

Sometimes, he comes down and does work, and that's all they talk about.

Does that guy have a kid or not?

That's all they talk about.

Do we raise that kid or not? That's all they talk about.

It's been so long since that man died.

They still remember his face?

It disgusts me, it's disgusting.

Anyway, why is he looking for you?

He probably just wanted to know where Eun Seob is or something like that.

Since he hasn't dropped by, he might have gone to the bookstore already.

Why would he go the bookstore? Why?

For what? What more does he want? To take more money from Eun Seob?

He came by last time too, and took so much!

He said he wanted to buy a boat.

Another time he needed to pay medical fees for his legs.

I wonder what excuse he'll have this time.

Eun Seob isn't that rich himself. I don't know why he keeps coming.

Come on, I don't think he'll ask for money again this time.

Alright, fine. Let's say he's not here for money this time.

But he keeps saying they should go on a boat together‐‐

Mom, Dad, I'm going to school now!

‐ Alright, daughter. ‐ Sure!

‐ Sure, be safe! ‐ I will!

What the heck?

That person is dead.

Who else would it be?

The... uncle?

Hey!

It's been about five years, right?

Last time I saw you was before you went in for your military service.

Yes.

‐ Did you buy the boat‐‐ ‐ No.

I couldn't.

But,

I saw this. Do you have it, too?

It was taken on the same day.

I took this one.

I want to take you somewhere with me.

Where?

It's a bit far from here.

If it's about getting on a boat together, Uncle...

Well, it's something like that.

A little similar.

Hey, you get your head on straight. It's my blood in your veins.

Don't you know?

The blood flowing through your body is the same as the blood flowing through mine.

That's why we're pulled towards each other, is what I'm saying.

Didn't you come to see your mom, in the end?

Didn't you spend three years caring for her as she was sick?

In the end, it all comes down to blood.

Got it? But I guess you still call those people

"Mother" and "Father" and whatnot.

It's because you guys are not related by blood.

You guys are strangers.

What? Strayer? What's that?

That damn dog.

‐ What are they saying? ‐ Hello, Hui.

Oh, you scared me!

Why aren't you going in?

Have you two finished talking?

‐ Hae Won. ‐ Yeah?

I...

Say it.

I might have to go somewhere.

Where?

Um... I might not come back tonight.

‐ Is that alright? ‐ No.

But you can go.

We were supposed to prepare for the flea market together.

I can do that on my own.

Im Eun Seob! Don't go! You can't leave!

You take another step, and I'll kill you!

What's wrong with her?

She looked really mad.

Mom! Mom! Mom!

Hey, why'd you come back? Why didn't you go to school?

You're cutting school again, aren't you? You useless girl.

I told you, if you can't use your brain, at least you should live righteously.

What were you thinking?

Mom, stop!

‐ What? What is it? ‐ Im Eun Seob's running away!

What did you say?

That uncle or whatever came by and told him to go somewhere with him.

‐ He didn't want money? ‐ What money?

It would've been better if he took money. He left with Eun Seob.

He said something about bloodlines or whatever.

Eun Seob really left with him?

He was right on his heels!

He should've just taken his money. This is so annoying!

What are you looking at?

[Good Night Bookstore Flea Market]

[Good Night Bookstore Flea Market] A flea market?

[Good Night Bookstore Flea Market] Sounds fun.

[A few days ago]

‐ Everyone, we should organize an event. ‐ What kind of event, Su Jung?

‐ A flea market. ‐ A flea market?

Is this an idea for a City Hall kind of event?

The event's too small for something like that.

What's a flea market?

I know! I totally know! It's CSER: Conserve, share‐‐

It's not that, Im Hui.

Anyway, Su Jeong, isn't a flea market where you sell things you don't need anymore?

Yes. Oh, yeah. Oh dear. I don't have anything I don't need, though.

We could also make things and sell them.

‐ Right, Eun Seob? ‐ Yeah.

[Good Night Bookstore Flea Market Bestsellers]

Did you sell a lot?

You only need one, just one!

[LED Lighting Special Flea Market Discount] Hey, smile. Why do you look so mad?

Aunt Su Jeong, you could try selling pies or quilts, then?

You can buy one for 5,000 won.

‐ I think they'll sell well. ‐ What about me?

[Calligraphy Requests] Gwon Hyeon Ji,

you should do calligraphy. You're good at that.

What should I write for you?

Please write, "Jun Yong, your mother loves you" for my son.

‐ His dad doesn't love him? ‐ What?

[Jun Yong, your mother loves you. Your father doesn't.]

Noona, Noona! What about me?

‐ You should try some. ‐ It looks good.

Please try some! We have red bean porridge, too.

Then, I will sell at a cheap price the lamps that are left in my stock.

Hello, everyone! This isn't an event you'll see every day!

We have all shapes and sizes! All sorts of colors! Welcome!

Wow! Wow!

Everyone!

How much is this?

Why isn't she saying anything?

Hui, did you sell a lot?

‐ Lee Jang Wu, I pass the baton to you. ‐ Pass the baton?

I'm going to the bookstore.

What does that have to do with me getting the baton? Hui?

[Good Night Bookstore Flea Market Bestsellers]

How much are these?

This book?

How much do you think it is?

I've never planned such a perfect event in my life before.

Maybe that's why I was thinking...

Lee Jang Wu, you're working really hard.

‐ Let's go in. ‐ Yes, sir.

What if I get so much praise from the mayor, that he even promotes me to Vice Mayor?

I don't think that'll happen, even if all 50 million citizens of South Korea

come to the event.

You just don't like me. We should talk it out. We need a deep talk.

‐ So, you all know what you're going to do? ‐ No, Hae Won hasn't decided yet.

I'll sell books. I work part‐time at a bookstore.

‐ With whom? ‐ Obviously...

[Books to Help With the Depression of Contemporary Man]

[Books To Read On the Toilet]

[Books for Couples Who Have Broken Up]

[Books that go well with a warm cup of coffee]

Excuse me, what should I read to overcome the stress of exams?

Well...

4,200 won.

[The way for the top student to become the last and the last to become the top]

Thank you.

Wow, you're good.

Unni.

Do you think Im Eun Seob will come back?

I don't think he will.

Unni, Im Eun Seob is going to leave.

With that ajussi. They're going to go far away.

No, he said he'll be back by tonight. He called your mother, too.

‐ So don't worry‐‐ ‐ Unni... Im Eun Seob is different this time.

I don't think he'll come back this time. I'm sure of it.

I want to live with you.

I'll get off my boat.

I think it's time, don't you think?

You're an adult now.

I think you fully paid them back for raising you by being with them this whole time.

I...

You see that building over there?

You always really liked books.

I would always bring a book whenever I visited you.

"A long time ago, in a big mountain, there was a little boy..." Yes.

"A little boy and his mom." I think this story is about us!

You loved those books so much.

That's why I bought that place. I used the money

I took from you and the money I made myself.

You bought it?

That place?

There are people who are alone from the moment they're born until their death.

Your father was like that.

I was the same, of course.

As are you.

We are people who can't live with other people.

Even your mom tried her best to endure but eventually left.

It's the blood that's like this. The blood.

It's a blood that makes you live alone until your death, this blood.

Maybe that's why I want us to live together.

Since we'll leave one day anyway, wouldn't it be good to live together?

Well. I think this would prevent us from getting hurt.

What?

Do you think you'll be any different?

[Good Night Bookstore Flea Market]

Hey. Don’t they play really well?

Our city of Hyecheon is cultivating these shining talents.

So, they're all students who are taught this at school.

‐ Jang Wu. ‐ Yeah?

‐ I want to focus. ‐ Oh, yes, me too.

‐ Plese be quiet. ‐ Yes.

They are really good... okay, okay.

‐ Did you enjoy it, everyone? ‐ Yes.

For thirty years...

‐ Can you play for us, too, Unni? ‐ What?

‐ You're a cellist, too. Play for us! ‐ That's true, but...

Yeah, Hae Won. I want to hear you, too. ‐ You too, Aunt?

Come on, come on.

Ji Yeon. Step aside. Ji Yeon!

Ji Yeon! Hae Won!

‐ Shut up. ‐ Come on, just once.

Cello. She's playing.

‐ It's Jang Wu. ‐ She's playing the cello.

‐ Don't listen to him. ‐ She's really good.

‐ Forget him. ‐ Ji Yeon, Ji Yeon. Hae Won said she'll play.

Shush.

Eun Seob!

Did something happen to your face?

There are people who are alone from their birth until their death.

It's the same for me.

It's the blood that's like this. The blood.

It's a blood that makes you live alone until your death, this blood.

‐ Just because. ‐ What do you mean "just because"?

I was thinking to myself, "what if he were to disappear all of a sudden."

What?

Do you think you'll be any different?

Taking that train for the first time in a while made brought back memories of the past.

We went a lot on the train together.

That's right. And you would cry every time.

"Myeong Yeo, I love you", "I'm sorry", bawling, sobbing, crying...

‐ All of those were my true feelings. ‐ Is that so?

This.

If you take this part out, I'll sign it.

[4. The content shall be based on the author's own experiences.]

I can't! It's supposed to be the most entertaining part.

No. To me, it won't be entertaining at all.

How can you make that judgement? It's me, the editor, who judges that.

Look. The gawkers who watch another family's house on fire

are the only ones who find it entertaining.

For the people who are locked inside the house, it's hell. Do you not know that?

I can't write about that horrendous hell.

‐ Then, you can write half and half. ‐ What?

Just enough of fiction and non‐fiction. Who cares?

I won't know what's what.

In that case...

I absolutely won't ask what is a fact and what is a lie.

Is that good?

Here.

‐ Sign here. ‐ What is this?

I thought you'd be like this, so I prepared another one.

It's a contract with what we just talked about.

Isn't that the fundamental attitude of a capable editor?

‐ That's the contract you just took out. ‐ What?

But, no, wait.

Are you trying to trick me again? You are.

Come on!

It was such great fun, right?

Yes, it was, really.

I did sell them a bit too cheap, but I was able clean out a lot of stock,

so it was quite a good thing.

I made a resolution this time. To open a pie shop.

The name will be "Crystal Pie".

But more than anything,

Hae Won's cello performance was really impressive.

‐ That's right. ‐ I saw that for the first time.

It was on a totally different level than the kids at school toying around.

True.

I also want to learn that kind of thing one day, Noona.

You do?

But Uncle Eun Seob isn't coming.

You're right. It would have been really nice if he'd been with us, though.

That's right.

I'm telling you, he won't come anymore.

Hui, your clothes will get burned.

It's getting late, let's go now.

When the owner isn't here, it feels empty.

Where are you going? There's still something left to do.

The composition looks weird, doesn't it? Right? I think it is slanted.

‐ Oh, Hae Won! ‐ You're doing it now?

‐ Yes we'll take it now. ‐ Is it fine if I stand here?

There is just right! It's just right.

Jang Wu, wait!

Ah really.

Go to the left a little bit. Okay okay, stop.

Hae Won, put down that cloth.

Seung Ho, Seung Ho. Face the camera. We have to take a picture.

Did it take the picture right now? I think I closed my eyes.

I was good.

‐ Jang Wu, go now. I can clean up by myself. ‐ I'll just do this.

Im Eun Seob kept on telling me to help out, so I just can't leave.

‐ But Hae Won. ‐ Yes?

How do you feel these days?

You looked like you had a lot on your mind all this time.

Ah, I felt a bit like I was suffocating,

but it's better now.

Life in Seoul is very tiring, isn't it?

It also felt stifling to me sometimes.

When I ate alone, I would feel nauseous.

But the loneliness didn't disappear when I was together with friends either.

But after a while, all of this turns into memories.

‐ Memories? ‐ Yes.

Like the way you are building up memories while you are here.

To me, my life in Seoul was a really good memory, you see.

Where should I put this?

‐ Hae Won. ‐ Yes?

Where do you want me to put this?

Ah. Put it in the storage room over there, please.

In the storage room? I came from there, you should have told me sooner.

Can you put the light bulb in the yard?

‐ Put the light bulbs outside? ‐ Yes.

Ah so I have to separate all this properly. You should have told me sooner.

And the books over there, bring them back.

Okay.

Thanks!

Still,

I can't let him go, Honey.

I don't want to. I will stop him.

I will tell him not to go.

I will beg him not to.

He will go if he wants to.

How could you say that as if it is nothing?

Eun Seob isn't our ch‐‐

He is not our child. You know that.

When you brought him here, I told myself "He's someone else's child",

and that I should raise him as if he were a stranger,

but in the end I couldn't.

How could I do that?

A kid who is eating and sleeping in our home, the kid who sleeps in my arms.

How? How could he be an outsider? Of course he is my child.

Isn't that so?

They say he's a stranger.

The townspeople all say he's a stranger!

I...

When he said he would stay by his mother on her deathbed,

and left us for three years, I trusted him.

I am telling you. I believed...

that he would come back someday.

During those three years, even though Eun Seob...

didn't call us once,

and you kept on telling me many times he wouldn't come back.

But I didn't think like that.

I trusted him to the very end.

And he came back, in the end.

Eventually, he came back to us. To us.

But still, it's his bloodline...

His bloodline must pull at him.

Bloodline? Are you like that, too?

Does your bloodline have such a strong hold on you?

Because your bloodline pulls at you this much, does Hui seem more lovely,

‐ and does she seem more like your child? ‐ No!

That's not the case.

Just once.

Could you tell me, just once?

That I love you.

That I really...

You're hungry, aren't you?

...love you a lot.

What's this? Oh!

Oh my! This... Wow!

I like this so much!

This is a rhinoceros beetle, right?

Did you bring this to show me?

Such a precious thing. I haven't seen it in a long time.

You hold it for a little. You are hungry, right?

I will quickly cook something for you. Just wait a bit.

You're hungry, right?

Hui, your brother brought such a precious thing

that he caught for Mom to see.

Hui. Your name is Hui.

Just like the sound you make when you whistle.

Eun Seob, you've been like this for two hours.

Is she that adorable?

Darling. Are you alright?

I'm watching a drama.

Or that I missed you.

That I was sorry.

We couldn't say these things.

Im Hui, come here for a second.

You're going to leave anyway.

It's fine, ptui ptui! Just leave, quick.

Don't touch my bicycle.

Don't put your hands on my things since you are going to leave anyhow.

Go on that boat, go on! Just sail all the way to the Pacific Ocean, while you're at it!

No matter if I go on a boat or not, if I disappear or not,

since when have you liked me anyway?

From the time I was born!

I liked you from the time I was born.

From when I first cried, from the first time I saw the world!

I liked you since then, you dimwit!

Don't cry. I won't leave.

Why?

What was so hard about saying that?

Because you are my brother.

My brother.

When I was born, you were already my brother!

So I liked you from the beginning, now what do you want me to do about it?

I hate you Im Eun Seob. I really hate you!

Get lost! Get on that boat, get on it!

I don't know. I don't even know.

I will tell Mom and Dad everything.

Mom, Dad! Eun Seob is...

This is expensive.

‐ Very? Is it very expensive? ‐ Yeah.

I decided to be generous, and bought it downtown.

It's been quite a while since you expressed yourself to me using material means.

It's the one I wanted. It's this one.

I thought it was 30,000 won but it was 300,000 won.

Looks like you have a lot of money.

In the future just give me the cash.

Why would a student need such an expensive bicycle saddle?

There are so many things I could do with 300,000 won.

What are you saying?

Don't laugh, you crazy guy!

Isn't it against the rules for you to be laughing when I am crying?

Move!

This is nice!

I like it so much, Oppa!

It's great! Okay!

All of you out of the way!

You even came to see me off.

It's an honor.

Hey.

Why don't you tell me now?

What?

That day... Why you broke up with me.

Did we break up only once or twice?

We broke up around a thousand times.

The very last time.

September 5, 2010, 9:23 am.

A text message: "Let's break up."

I'm asking you to answer about this, Sim Myeong Yeo.

It's not because I still have

lingering feelings about you that I memorized it,

it's because I was so dumbfounded at that time.

So, on that day, the reason why we had to break up...

No matter how I think of it, I hadn't done anything wrong.

What on earth was the reason?

Who knows.

I don't remember.

You don't remember?

What are you saying? Do you think I would remember that now?

It's been over ten years. How can I remember that?

The train is approaching the platform.

[Towards Jecheon, Cheongyangri]

I'm going.

Bye.

When you've written the draft, get in touch.

Get lost, crybaby.

Why don't you tell me now?

That day... Why you broke up with me.

September 5, 2010, 9:23 am.

A text message: "Let's break up."

I'm asking you to answer about this, Sim Myeong Yeo.

[From My love crybaby: Where are you?]

So did that jerk go in or not?

I requested a warrant but it got rejected.

‐ How do I lock him in? ‐ Ah it's driving me crazy.

I'm going to catch that trash‐like guy no matter what!

‐ What about the evidence? ‐ We've got more than enough of it!

Work hard.

Let's break up.

Who knows. I don't remember.

It's been over ten years. How can I remember that?

What do you think you are?

You little...

Who do you think you are?

That you, that you...

‐ The person who came yesterday... ‐ Yes?

I heard he's your uncle.

Yes.

Hui said that.

That you would leave this place soon.

It's not true, is it?

You will also leave when spring comes.

When the weather becomes nice, and thus this place warms up.

You'll end up going back, you too.

Eun Seob.

I don't know either what our future will be.

However, for the first time, I am curious about what comes next.

I am really curious about what happens next.

Eun Seob. How is it for you?

[Bookstore journal ‐ Good Night Bookstore Blog Private writing posted by Seob]
