Aunt.

Aunt.

Aunt, are you up‐‐

Aunt!

Aunt. What's wrong? Aunt! Open your eyes! Aunt!

Aunt, what's wrong? Wake up, Aunt!

Should I say it?

‐ Aunt. Aunt! ‐ What's wrong?

Aunt. Aunt! Aunt!

All the time, I rehearse going back to those days.

If I could go back to those days...

It seems I could turn everything back.

All the things about me, now belonging to bygone days.

I'm going to do everything with you!

I'm going to do everything with you.

Everything such as this.

All the things I missed out on.

Please, let me go back to those days.

Please.

Please.

Back to the me from those days.

[Episode 14 The Maze of Sisterfield]

This is called a closed‐angle glaucoma. It's one type of glaucoma.

It looks like the patient collapsed because the intraocular pressure suddenly rose.

Then...

We'll have to do some more tests to know better,

but it seems like she is almost blind in one eye.

But... has the patient been leaving it untreated all this time?

It must have been extremely painful.

Has your aunt gone to the hospital? Her headache seemed really bad.

‐ Your head really hurts? ‐ Yeah. It hurts like crazy.

If it's to this extent, she probably had a very bad headache.

Her eye must have hurt a lot too,

and she probably had nausea sometimes.

It must have been hard to endure.

It's the first time she comes to the hospital, isn't it?

‐ Hello? ‐ Who is this?

It's me, Hae Won. You don't recognize my voice, Mom?

Aunt collapsed.

Did you hear me? I said that Aunt collapsed.

‐ Got it. ‐ What?

I'm telling you I got it.

Hello? Mom?

Hae Won.

‐ Miss Sim Myeong Yeo's guardian? ‐ Yes.

‐ I'll be back. ‐ Okay.

‐ One galbitang, please. ‐ One galbitang for table three!

Jang Wu, you're going there after, right?

‐ To the Community Hall? ‐ Ah yes, I am.

‐ Eat well there and help them out well! ‐ Yes, I will.

By the way, I heard that girl Ji Eun Sil broke up with her boyfriend.

Sorry? Eun Sil‐‐ Pardon?

You know, the girl who works at the Gangneung City Hall.

Ah, the daughter of the shop selling side dishes?

Yes. They say she broke up with her boyfriend.

So she had a boyfriend?

Yes. He works at the Gangneung City Hall as well.

Woah.

‐ Why "Woah"? ‐ Woah, new information has been input.

Is that so?

But Chief, how do you know such information I'm not even aware of?

‐ My wife told me. ‐ For me, it was Eun Sil's mom.

You know Eun Sil's mother?

Yes. Her shop is in my apartment building's shopping area.

By the way, you know the repair shop right next to it?

You're talking about Unni Yeong Ran's, who has three sons and a daughter, right?

Ah, Gwi Hye's? What is it, is something wrong there?

No, I heard they gave birth to twins this time.

Ah I know, Ji Hu and Chae Yeon. They're fraternal twins.

Right! Hyeon Ah, the girl who works at the mart, she is getting married.

We know, she's getting married to the math teacher, Kim Chun Sik.

‐ I know, right? ‐ So lucky.

But Jang Wu, when will you get married?

I don't have plans of getting married, so far.

Why don't you?

I wonder.

‐ Oh, hello! ‐ Did you come for the rice?

Yes, yes. Bo Guk's mom, I'm leaving the rice here, alright?

Alright, I got it.

Oh, a lot has been gathered already. ['The rice we collect' will be used to make]

[tasty rice cake dishes to share together with the low‐income and elderly people.]

‐ Hello! ‐ It's time already for the rice cake festival?

Of course! [Hyecheon City Rice Milling Festival]

In February, this town

holds a rice cake making event, like a scene out of a movie.

At this time, we can know.

That like this, winter is over,

and spring is approaching.

‐ I want to do it too. ‐ Let's do it together.

Hey, hey, hey.

‐ So? ‐ So what?

‐ Did she go to the hospital? ‐ She did. In Ji Yeon's car.

They said her optic nerves are completely damaged.

‐ Oh my, oh my. ‐ Her eye was completely green,

because of the glaucoma.

You're talking about the Walnut House, right? The family with the pretty daughters.

Yes.

So what if the daughters are good‐looking?

One had a shotgun marriage and went to Seoul,

but she went to prison for the death of her husband.

And the other one was clamoring that she had become a successful novelist,

but now she shuts herself up in there and lives haphazardly.

That eldest daughter, she committed murder, right?

‐ Ahjumma! What murder? It was manslaughter! ‐ Oh really?

‐ Are the two any different? ‐ Of course!

Anyway, the grandma there suffered from heartache because of her daughters,

and because of that she got cancer in her late years. Cancer.

That's right. She used to be so healthy, that grandma.

Aigoo, she was so pitiful. So pitiful.

Hey, look at how you're kneading these.

Aren't you doing so well? Look at this...

‐ What? It's pretty! ‐ It's pretty, isn't it?

‐ Sure, it's pretty? ‐ It's really pretty.

Ah right, you know the young lad at the city hall, Jang Wu?

I heard he went on a blind date. It seems it went really well!

A blind date? He went on a blind date?

Yes, I heard they might even hold a wedding next month.

W‐Wed‐A wedding?

Aigoo, no matter who it is, a wedding is nice!

We'll get to eat noodles and rice cakes And even a buffet, it's been so long!

A buffet is so nice!

What about you Eun Sil? Is your job at the City Hall fun?

No. It's no fun at all. But about that seon you mentioned earlier‐‐

Aigoo! You should be grateful!

You're lucky to have a job!

‐ It hurts! ‐ And make this look better!

Your daughter will get mad!

I'm not doing this anymore!

‐ Are you alright? ‐ Aigo, aigo, it's hard.

Oh, this sweet fragrance!

It looks like this is all done.

‐ Should I bring it? ‐ Ah yes, to the lounge!

I can carry it, then. Hello, hello. Oh, hello!

‐ You're here, Jang Wu? ‐ Yes, hi.

‐ Hello! Hello! ‐ Hi.

Hello, hello. Oh, this.

Oh Jang Wu, you're here!

Say hi, it's Jang Wu. The Jang Wu who went on that blind date.

‐ Jang Wu who went on a blind date? ‐ The successful Jang Wu!

So it's him! From Seoul National Univesrity!

Ah yes, I'm Jang Wu who went on a blind date. Hi.

Are you looking for something?

No, no no! I'm not looking for anything. I just dropped by.

I came to see everyone. It looks like it'll be really tasty!

‐ Thank you. ‐ Ah yes, you're welcome.

He's so good‐looking.

Oh what the! Oh. Eun Sil, hi?

‐ Are you looking for someone? ‐ Me?

You‐‐ No wait, I h‐have to go to the bathroom, I'm in a rush.

I'm off.

Jang Wu who went on a blind date?

So, is Seung Ho's grandpa alright?

Yes, he is alright.

That's a relief.

And you, how did that coffee festival go?

It went well, thanks to you.

‐ Hey. ‐ Yes?

I heard you went on a blind date and you're getting married?

N‐No, what nonsense.

‐ Is it a false rumor? ‐ Of course.

Which part is false?

‐ The m‐marriage part. ‐ And the marriage meeting part?

Ah, I did go on that date,

because my parents are pushing me to marry quickly.

‐ So I did go, but‐‐ ‐ So it wasn't any good, I see.

Yup.

It's not cold at all anymore, right?

No, it's really cold.

No, look!

My breath isn't going half as far as when it was the middle of winter.

That has to do with your lung capacity, I think.

Does it?

But, Eun Sil, your lips are purple right now. It looks really, uhm, awful. Yeah.

Jang Wu. You always look awful.

‐ Do I? ‐ Yes.

What are you doing?

They said you have to stay in the hospital for a few days.

They have a few more tests to run.

I don't have money.

They said they'll move you to a six‐bed ward when a place gets freed.

For now they don't have space.

The doctor said that it must have been very painful.

Whatever.

It was bearable.

But the doctor said it must have been really, really extremely painful.

It did hurt. But it was too much of a hassle.

They said it was probably so painful

that you would have wanted to go to the hospital, even if it was a hassle.

My desire to avoid the hassle won over that pain.

Satisfied?

Aunt...

Aunt!

Are you not going to Seoul, Mok Hae Won?

That the one who has to leave will go.

You coming here and telling me what to do is tiring me out a bit.

Go to Seoul now.

And the one who should stay, will have to be left behind.

We can know that such time is approaching.

When we are done making rice cakes with the old rice,

we'll prepare for rice planting.

It's that time, isn't it?

Yes, you're right.

It's also the time to slowly close the skating rink.

Time really flies.

You're so young, how can you say that?

‐ Should I take this? ‐ Yes.

Dammit, you scared me.

Are you back from the hospital?

Why did you come? Did Hae Won call you?

Yeah.

I'm fine. Mok Hae Won overreacted.

Sim Myeong Yeo.

Take off your sunglasses.

I didn't leave you here to see you in such a condition.

I told you to live well, doing your utmost.

To write books, go out on dates. To do your best to live well‐‐

But...

But how...

How could I do that, Unni?

What?

I'm asking how I could do that.

When I killed someone?

People who don't know might have pitied you, Unni.

But not me.

For me, I was the one to be pitied.

Why would you?

I should have the right to pay for my crime, too.

But you took even that from me, Unni.

That was because you didn't do anything wrong!

I have!

I am the one who stepped on the gas.

I am the one who killed him.

Unni, that day, I...

I remember everything, down to the tingling sensation of the wind

full of the smell of blood.

How could I be blameless?

How could I, as if nothing happened...

How could I act as if it's nothing...

How on earth can I‐‐

Have you eaten?

Have you tried to persuade Aunt?

Try to persuade her.

They said that her other eye can still be fine

if she gets medication or laser treatment now.

You two are close, after all.

Are we?

She was planning to write a book, although she had said she wouldn't anymore.

And it looks like she was seeing Ahjussi Yun Taek again, too.

So I thought she was changing, little by little.

But I was wrong.

She's not one to try to do anything.

‐ Unni. ‐ Yes?

‐ I want to do everything. ‐ What everything?

Everything in this world. I'll do it all.

The weather is nice.

Unni.

I'm so s‐scared.

Unni, I'm really scared.

I'm too scared.

Unni, I'm...

I'm too scared, Unni.

Unni...

Unni.

‐ Hey, Im Hui! ‐ Yes?

You dare to come to school on my Yeong Su's bike?

‐ Who are you? ‐ Me? Kim Yeong Su's girlfriend. Song Jae In.

‐ So you're that Song Jae In. ‐ What?

Good thing you came.

‐ Let go! ‐ How dare you!

Let go!

We let go at three! One, two, three!

Hey, Kim Yeong Su! Because of you,

Song Jae In and Im Hui are having a dog fight in the second years' classroom!

You aren't going?

What in the world?

Yes, Mother.

Yes, I'm on my way.

Yes.

‐ You should be ashamed! ‐ About what?

You really have nothing better than a boy to fight over? Oh, really.

Mom!

Boys are everything to me.

Have you gone mad? Are you crazy? Are you?

‐ You've lost it. ‐ I'm not crazy!

I'm completely sane! I'm even more sane after eating chongmyeong‐tang!

Then why do you make a move on a boy who has a girlfriend?

Mom. It was a deal, a bargain!

Bar like in bartender, and gain like in gainsayer.

Hui, the "gain" from bargain isn't the same "gain"‐‐

Is that important right now?

Noona!

Oh, Seung Ho! What are you doing here? Ah, you're also my guardian? I see.

I heard you caused trouble.

Yes, but how do you know? You told him, didn't you?

Yes.

‐ Ah, really. ‐ Come on, normally it's when you cause trouble

that your mom and dad will come to pick you up from school. I know all that.

That's right. Oh my, Seung Ho, you're really smart! So smart.

Is that really something to praise him over?

You might as well just spread the rumor around the neighborhood, go ahead!

If you're scared of rumors, why do you go around acting like that?

I'm telling you it was a deal!

The rumor has spread all over already!

Why do you hit me at the same spot where I was hit? It hurts!

Grandpa!

Seung Ho!

You aren't sick anymore? You're all better?

Yes, I'm all better. You're all grown up, you even worry about your grandpa.

‐ Let's go home quick now. ‐ Should we?

I drove around a lot today.

That's right, you did.

Did you try to get in touch with Seung Ho's father?

Yes. But I couldn't get through.

Do you have the right phone number?

I don't know. I called but nobody answered,

so I contacted the travel agency he works for.

But they said he quit.

When was the last time Seung Ho's father came here?

Something like five years ago.

For now, I left a message, giving my number.

What about you?

Well, nothing new for me.

Aunt keeps on insisting stubbornly that she's fine,

and Mom doesn't seem to have any plan to try to persuade her.

Exactly why are they like this, all of them?

Both for Seung Ho's father and Noona Myeong Yeo,

maybe more time needs to pass for things to get resolved?

Just as spring comes once winter passes?

Yes.

It looks like spring will arrive soon.

You're right.

[Say. Who do you think killed my brother‐in‐law?]

[Say. Who do you think killed my brother‐in‐law?]

Cha Yun Taek. Yes.

You're right.

Everything the others say is wrong.

And you're right about everything.

You see, actually I...

[The Maze of the Sisterfield]

I did not want to give up on myself, not for a single moment.

[1993 Annual Spring Literary Contest List of successful candidates]

You know, I think those things are really laughable.

What is?

I'm the best writer among everyone here anyway.

I'm the one who writes best,

so what's the point of being picked as winner for that contest?

I beat them all in the end, anyway. Don't you think?

I have never thought that I wasn't talented.

I have never thought that it would end here,

that it would only amount to this.

Nor that I would be ruined, or fall ill.

That I would grow old and become ugly.

I have never thought that, not even once.

Like this, in some place void of people,

like someone who is only waiting for death.

I had never even thought that I would spend my whole life like this.

Have a good life.

Have a good life.

Get married like you wanted to,

have kids like you wanted to, and live happily ever after.

And in truth...

Myeong Yeo.

Please be happy and forget about a nuisance like me.

Not for a single moment,

did I want to break up with you.

Driver, turn the car around, please!

That is the truth, Cha Yun Taek.

Why do you keep coming to my neighborhood?

You are the one who told me the train schedule.

Hey, Sim Myeong Yeo, let me hug you just once.

What?

You can't.

The truth is, I didn't want to break up with you either.

Not for one moment.

What terrible thing I did...

Are you sure you read it?

Article 4, Responsibility for Content, Clause 3.

"I will not question what is fact and what is fiction."

So you don't even know what is fact and what is fiction.

And yet here you are, doing this.

Can't I?

You've got a stronger stomach than expected, Cha Yun Taek.

Isn't that nice? That was how I could love you.

‐ Hello. ‐ Oh, you're here?

You were already here? Hyeon Ji, don't carry such things.

Did you chop someone's head with that?

‐ Hello. ‐ Welcome.

‐ Jang Wu, you're here? ‐ Yes, hello.

‐ You're here? ‐ Oh, Eun Sil, hello?

Good thing you're here. Come this way.

In there? In such a cramped place, just you and me?

Wait, let me put this down.

Why are you so late?

I had to drop by home before coming.

‐ What's up, Eun Sil? ‐ I'm glad you're here.

Taste this.

How is it?

How does it taste, I asked.

I don't know.

How can you not know?

Then what about this?

‐ It tastes good. ‐ What?

I bought that.

I bought that from my mom's shop.

So, that tastes good, you mean?

No, that's not what I meant.

Then what about this?

How is it? Salty? Sweet?

‐ I really don't know. ‐ Ah, really!

Really, you only say that about the food I made.

Are you joking with me right now? I will get you...

Wow, your arm, it is really solid.

My legs are solid, too.

Wow, that is good. I mean, that is good for you.

What are you two doing right now?

Huh? What do you mean?

‐ Why are you smiling? ‐ No, well...

What's going on?

Nothing.

That quilt looks wonderful.

Doesn't it? It took me so long to make this. Isn't it pretty?

It is pretty.

‐ Hey, Geun Sang? ‐ Yes?

After you finish that, can you help me clean the mold, please?

Yes, I intended to do that.

Here it is.

Wow.

Gwon Hyeon Ji, why are you so good at chopping wood?

Did you take lessons?

I practiced a bit, thinking maybe I can do a hip‐hop performance with it.

And who called me a psycho before?

But you know, Yeong Su,

the more I think about it, the more angry I get.

You know Song Jae In,

the girl who goes around the neighborhood telling everyone that she is your girlfriend?

What did you say to her that she would beat me up so much?

It's the first time in my life I've been slapped.

I have been the outcast of the entire school for two years,

but no one has ever slapped me before.

But I heard you pulled Song Jae In's hair out.

She was the one to throw the first punch.

You are smiling? Maybe you want to participate in this fight?

‐ Hey. ‐ What!?!

Song Jae In wants to walk to school with us from now on.

Oh why? I don't want to.

I really hate that.

We're home, let's go in.

Let's go.

One, two, three.

‐ It's been so long! ‐ It's been so long!

How are you feeling?

I feel better.

Have you eaten?

‐ I don't think we can eat what Eun Sil made. ‐ Oh, just go in.

Hurry and get inside.

Today was tiring for you, wasn't it?

No. You should go home and rest, too.

Oh, right.

Bo Yeong apologized to me.

She said she was sincerely sorry.

And then she said she hated me. Because she liked me, that is why she hates me.

And that I probably despised her, too.

Did you?

I'm not sure.

Maybe I never even liked her?

The emotions I have now are still so strong

that I have forgotten all about how I felt in the past when we were friends.

But even if I remember those feelings now, things cannot return to how they were.

Trust is like glass.

Once it's broken, even if you glue it back together,

the cracks are still very visible.

That is true.

Don't think about it too deeply.

Go on in.

I'll go now.

Be careful on your way home.

Eun Seob, I sent you an e‐mail.

I request confirmation.

[The Maze of Sisterfield]

[Sim Myeong Yeo]

I have read the email you sent me, Noona.

You said it was for me to decide

whether to give this text to Hae Won after I read it,

but the fact that you sent me this,

might be because you actually want to let your niece know the truth.

Chestnut! You're here, Chestnut? Little cutie Chestnut.

I'll be back.

Harming one's family with one's own hands is obviously a crime, as you say.

But I do not know the details of that situation,

and I do not think it is something I can be the judge of.

Even though it might be difficult,

confessing personally would be the right thing to do.

But if you do not have the heart to face her,

my involvement will only go

as far as delivering to Hae Won the text you gave me today.

I think you must have suffered a lot, stuck in silence.

However, no matter what happened,

I trust in your heart which loves Hae Won.

What is this?

You should read it.

What is it? Is it the novel you wrote?

No.

Then what?

Just.

Alright.

But why are you telling me to go home? I want to stay here longer.

Because I think that you reading this is more important.

I'll go to Walnut House after work.

Then we'll talk together.

Alright.

Why suddenly?

I'm home.

Aunt.

Aunt?

But why are you telling me to go home? I want to stay here longer.

Because I think that you reading this is more important.

[The Maze of Sisterfield]

[Sim Myeong Yeo]

The day just before I told you we should break up,

on September 4th, 2010.

That day, it was pouring rain since morning.

I got a message from my sister.

[Curry?]

Curry?

[Deal.]

[Message sent]

It was just like any other day.

Unni. Unni.

Who do you think you are?

You little‐‐

What do you think you are?

That you, that you! Let go!

Let go!

Let go, you bitch!

You dared, to me...

Even the sight of Brother‐in‐law hitting my sister.

Everything was the same, that day.

If there is one thing that was different...

It is that I killed him.

[The Maze of Sisterfield]

I'm home.

Mom.

Mom, this, that is...

This, that's.

Th‐This.

Who killed Dad?

What?

So, the one who killed Dad wasn't you,

but Aunt, the one who took care of me?

So Aunt, that is...

‐ Hae Won. ‐ Please tell me.

Did Aunt really kill Dad?

Hae Won, the thing is‐‐

Answer me, now!

No, Hae Won‐‐

‐ Let go! ‐ Hae Won.

So you two knew about it.

Hae Won!

I know why you hated Dad.

Since I didn't like Dad that much either.

But still, he was my dad.

But the one who killed Dad like that,

it wasn't even you,

but Aunt?

Mok Hae Won

From now on, I'm your guardian.

She is the last person I trusted and relied on.

Hae Won...

You people are really scary.

Hae Won.

Don't follow me.

Don't come after me.

[The Maze of Sisterfield]

Tell me.

Who would be able to forgive me?

Mom!

Hae Won.

It seems like Mom isn't in a good mood today.

Do you want to play with me?

Excuse me...

Are you alright?

[Books]

Excuse me, have you seen a young lady here, perhaps?

Yes, yes.

I think she was sitting down over there.

Thank you.

Hae Won...

Was it really right for me to not have know all this?

Because you would be hurting.

She probably lived all these years carrying the burden in your stead.

You know that Eun Sil is leaving today, right?

She's going back to Gangneung, because vacation is over.

It is too scary. I don't know what people's real appearance is.

I feel like I'm being deceived by everyone.

You're saying you'll turn yourself in? What will that make of me?

I want to pay for my crime, now at least.

I am planning to leave. Spring has come, after all.
