IT STILL SEEMS LIKE MY SON IS ALIVE

-Ms. YANG Mija
-Here

This way

What's wrong?.

My arm

My right arm feels prickly

Does it hurt here?.

No, it doesn't hurt,
it just feels prickly

Like...

That thing is passing through

What's it called?.

It's been like this lately

It's... Iike energy

-Electricity?.
-Right, electricity!.

It's like electricity's
passing through

I'm forgetting words lately

Yesterday, I couldn't
remember,'bleach'

I could only remember, 'Clorox.'

We used to call bleach, 'Clorox'
back in the old days

How long have you
been like this?.

For the past couple of days

No, your forgetfulness
When did it start?.

When did it start?.

Maybe this summer or spring?.

How old are you, ma'am?.

Sixty five, no, sixty six

Your arm's prickly because
the muscles are in knots

Start some light exercising

I'm more concerned that you
can't remember words

It could be a bad sign

I recommend you get an
overhaul at a big hospital

A big hospital?.

Yes, like a big general hospital
in Seoul

I'll write a reference for you

I'm at the hospital

My arm feels prickly

It's continues feeling prickly

I kept telling myself to see
a doctor and I finally did

Who else would come
with me, you idiot?.

Your mom's okay

Others my age usually suffer
from neuralgia or arthritis

I'm okay

Don't cry, mom...

How could you be so cruel!

How could you...

You can't go way like this!

Where are you! Where did she go!

Oh god!

You cruel wench!

Where is she?.
Where!

Mom...

-Hello
-You're here

You're a little late

I went to the hospital

He called twicel received two calls, asking
whyyou weren't coming

Dad, the maid's on her way up

This one, this one

Sit still! I told you
to sit still!

Stop it!

How will I undress you
ifyou resist like this?.

Right, that's it
Pull this leg out

That's howyou do it

Is it hot?. It's okay, isn't it?.

Sit still!

Sit still, I say! Stop it!

-Why are you shouting?.
-What?.

What's that?.

My hearing... so why...?.

Your hearing is fine so
why I am shouting?.

I'm sorry

I won't shout again

Sir, I'll be leaving

Goodbye

-Done?.
-Pardon?.

-I said, are you done?.
-Yes, I'm done

-Already?.
-What do you mean?.

It's already been 3 hours

I did the laundry, the cleaning
and all my chores

Good

Thankyou, sir

Don't...

tell anyone...

I gave it to you

Okay

How generous!

Thankyou

Did he yell at you today?.

Of course he did

I doesn't matter cause
I yelled back at him

Here

-He gave me 1 0,000Won
-He did?.

But he told me not to tell anyone

When it's only 1 0,000Won

My father-in-law is
notorious for being stingy

He must really like you. To give
you an amount like that

Anyway, do you always look
so chic like that?.

Do I look chic?.
I'm not chic at all

Where is it?. Not again

What are you looking for?.

What's that thing?.
I can't remember the word

What you put money in

It's this big

A wallet?.

That's it, a wallet!

Where's my wallet?.

What's this?.

I'm so out of it these days

At the hospital
I saw something...

A local middle school girl's
body was found in the river

And brought to the hospital

They said it was suicide
by jumping off the bridge

The poor girl's mom was
totally out of her mind...

-I'll be on my way.
-See you the day after tomorrow

The deadline's over

What're you drying?.

Did your daughter call?.

LITERARY CLASS FORTHE PUBLIC
YOU CAN ALSO BE A POET!

Are you home, Wook?.

Why's the music on so loud?.

You'll bring down the house

What's wrong?.

Are you feeling sick?.

Don't bother

I called you during the day
but you weren't answering

I never got your call

How can you say that
when I called twice

I'm not lying

It's cause my mobile's junk
Buy me a new one

I'm annoyed with my mobile

You just bought it, so why
do you need a new one?.

-But I had it for 1 and 1/2 yr
-No you didn't

I got it during the 1 st semester
of my 2nd year

Which only shows how
carelesslyyou've used it

You're sprouting a moustache,
but acting like a child

Why'd you call anyway?.

I heard a girl in your school
killed herself...

by jumping into the river

I wanted to askyou about it

Ask me what?.

Who she was, why'd she
kill herself that young

I don't know her that well

What's her name?.

Why do you need her name?.

Aren't you in the same grade?.

I don't know everyone
in the same grade

Grandma can't afford a new
mobile. Ask your mom for one

What?. That's not fair!

Hey! Play with a bit
more spirit

This is no fun

Just try

The doctor told me to exercise

What are you doing?.

Where are you going?.

Gotta go see my buddies

You shouldn't go out
at this hour!

The electricity bill's
quite high this month

Wook's always on the computer...

playing music all the time

He even sleeps with the music on

How am I supposed to scold him?.

Well what can I say?.

He's the master of the house

What?.

The Cultural Center

To learn poetry

What?. Right

I do have a poet's vein

Right. I do like flowers
and say odd things

I'm here for the literary class

Literary class?.
But it's all closed

I know...

But can't you accept
one more person?.

I don't know...

I really want to take this class

How should we deal with this?.

To write poetry, you must
see WELL

The most important thing
in life is seeing

SEE
See. It's to see

-We live seeing things
-Right

It's important to see everything
surrounding us well

Now, I've brought
something with me

What is it?.

-An apple
-Yes, it's an apple

I went out of my way to bring it

I'm a well-prepared teacher

Others are not as well-prepared
as I am

Now, about this apple

How many times have you
seen an apple?.

A thousand?.

Ten thousand?.

A million?. Wrong

You've never seen
an apple before

Not even once

Up till now, you haven't
seen an apple for real

To really know what an apple is...

to be interested in it,
to understand it,

to converse with it
is really seeing it

Gazing at it for a while
and observing its shadow...

feeling its every curve,
turning it around,

taking a bite out of it,

imagining the sunlight
absorbed in it...

That is really seeing it

Ifyou really see something,
you can feel...

something naturally,

Iike water gathering in a spring

You should prepare
paper and a pencil,

and wait for the moment to come

Empty white paper...

A world of pure potential,
a world before creation...

This is the perfect
moment for a poet

Hold your pencil over
that pure paper...

I love pencils

When I place a well-sharpened
pencil over a piece of paper,

I feel full

My heart flutters with the hope
of writing a good poem

I love sharpening pencils

The very fun of a pencil
is hand-sharpening it

I used to be good at
sharpening pencils

Pardon?.

I was told to be a
good pencil-sharpener

I sharpened all my brothers'
and sisters' pencils

Is that so?. Then, ma'am

Why don't you sharpen
my pencil some day

By the time this 1 month
class ends,

I want you all to have written
a poem, okay?.

Everyone has to write one poem

You need to write
to really know

You'll never know if
you don't write

So you have to write yourself

Who has written a poem
at least once before?.

And who hasn't?.

Okay

Now you will be writing
your own poem...

for the first time in your life

-Okay?.
-Okay

Who is it?.

My friends

Why are your friends
here?. It's late

We need to talk

About what?. Haven't you seen
enough of each other?.

Hello, ma'am

Good evening

Why's the door locked?.

What?.

Why did you lock the door?.

Aren't you boys hungry?.
Want some apples?.

No, stop bothering us
It's annoying

Apples are better for eating
than looking at

What are you looking at?.

The tree

Why are you looking up the tree?.

To see it well

To feel it,

to understand its thoughts and...

Iisten to what it says to me

Hello?.

Who?.

Kibum's dad?.

Yes, of course I know Kibum...

who always hangs out
with Wook

Of course

He was at our place last night

What's the matter?.

Is something wrong?.

Not now.

I... have to go to my poetry class

Poetry!

Poetry!

I'll be done by
1 2pm

The Cultural Center

Yes

Okay, I'll see you then

Writing poetry is...

all about finding beauty
Understand?.

It is about discovering
true beauty...

in everything we see
in front of us...

in our everyday life

True beauty...

Not things just
looking beautiful

Every single one ofyou...
carries poetry in your heart

But you've imprisoned them
It's time to free your poetry

Your poetry trapped inside
should get their wings...

and fly away

Sir

When does a 'poetic
Inspiration' come?.

When does a 'poetic inspiration'
come?.

Yes, as much as I try,
it won't come

I'd like to know,
when does it come?.

It doesn't. You must go
and beg for it

You must pray but even
this guarantees nothing

It's too precious
to give itself out

That's whyyou must
go and beg for it

Where must I go?.

It's not in some special place,

but somewhere you must
wander around for

It isn't waiting for you
with a name plate...

saying, 'poetic inspiration'

The clear thing is,

it is somewhere nearby,
not far away

It's there, right where
you stand

I told you poetry can be found
even in the dishwashing basin

Where are you?.

The car with blinking lights?.

-Hello
-Hello

You're Wook's grandma,
aren't you?.

-Are you Kibum's dad?.
-Yes

Let's get in the car

Where are we going?.

You know our boys' group of six?.

The boys' parents are getting
together for lunch

You can come with me
I'll take you there

What kind of class
are you taking?.

I'm learning poetry
Twice a week

Poetry?.

You mean singing
traditional poetry?.

No, actually writing poetry

Why are you learning poetry?.

I wonder myself

Why am I learning poetry?.

Long ago, I must've been
in the third grade...

when we used to have
poetry contests in the fall

After one contest, my teacher
told me,

"Mija, you'll become
a poet one day"

Then, recently I saw the
literary class poster

And it reminded me of
the comment...

my teacher made 50 years ago

So you want to be a poet?.

For now, my goal is
to write one poem

Our teacher told us to write
one poem until the class ends

When I told my daughter
about this,

she said I always had
a poet's vein

I always loved flowers...

and would say odd things

Your daughter's Wook's
mom, right?. Where's she now?.

We talk about everything on
the phone. We're good friends

Friends forever

Anyway, what's this all about?.

Let's just go there first

You'll see after you hear
what they have to say

It's not good news, right?.
I can feel it

Right

It is bad news

A large spicy fish stew
and steamed spicy angler fish...

-
-And 3 bottles of beer
-Okay

I don't see your boss today

He's away on business in Seoul

-So, he's not coming today?.
-No

-We'll have the beer first
-Yes, sir

Soonchang's dad, why
don't you start explaining

Let's start when the beers come
We need to lift the mood...

Do we need alcohol now?.

Let's start since we don't
have much time

Then I'll start

I'll give you a short recap as
some of you have no idea

Recently, a girl at our boys'
school, killed herself

Her name's PARK Heejin

Her folks run a farm nearby

She kept a diary stating
six male students...

raping her for months
until her death

Reading her diary, her folks
reported this to the school...

who called the boys in to talk

The six all admitted...

to the crime, so I guess
it must be true

At first, it started
with two boys,

KWON Soonchang

That's my son

-And KIM Jongchul
-Yes, that's my son

It's those two who started it

And as time passed,
all six of them joined in

They say they didn't
coerce her at first

-That she liked doing it
-Who would believe that?.

It would only incite
more anger

Yes, you're right

Ladies first

They said, the girl was
short and plain-looking

So I can't understand
why they did it

And if she was tall and pretty?.

Where in school did they do it?.
And for six months?.

They said they did it in
the science lab

KOO Taeyeol being leader of the
Science Club, had the lab keys

That's my son

The lab's located in
a secluded area

And rarely had classes or
was tended to

So, nobody knew

Although I feel sorry for...

the dead girl,

now's the time for us to
worry about our own boys

That's why I called
everyone here

Joint action is crucial now

Right, we should act as a group

Cheers, ma'am

The girl's parents...

-run a farm?.
-Yes, but her dad died...

a fewyears ago from
a motorcycle accident

The mom has been raising the
girl and her brother alone

We need to calm the mom

Fortunately, it seems she
hasn't told anyone else

But we can't tell
what she's thinking

Nevertheless, in order to
console the victim's family...

So the point is, the
compensation money

That's right

Regarding the money,
we should reach an agreement

I discussed this with the school...

and 30 million Won would be
the proper amount

So that makes it
5 million Won per person

Who else knows about this?.

The principal and a few
other teachers...

and one or two in the police

Our talks with the school and
the police are going well so far

The school doesn't want this
to get leaked outside

And the police doesn't
want to investigate...

unless the victim's family
press charges

The problem is that a local
newspaper sniffed something...

and are calling the school,
asking questions

The local press is insidious,
so watch your mouth

What's she doing over there?.

What a clueless old lady

What's she doing at
a moment like this?.

Did you say she's
Wook's grandma?.

Is she raising him by herself?.

Her daughter left Wook...

with her mom after her divorce
and is in Busan now

Unlike her looks,
she's barely getting by

She lives off government subsidy
and her part-time maid job

I think her daughter's
not sending her money

Then how's she gonna pay
the 5 million Won she owes?.

She has no choice. Her
grandson's future depends on it

Ma'am

Are you writing a poem?.

Just taking notes

We always have to take
notes like this

What have you written there?.

Blood...

A flower as red as blood

They really are blood red

Do you know the floral
meaning of cockscomb?.

It's 'shield'

Actually, it looks like a shield

A shield that protect us

Let's go inside and
get something to eat

Awe, not curry again!

What's wrong?.
You like curry

-I had it for lunch at school
-Really?. I didn't know

Did you packyour gym suit?.

It's physical education day,
right?.

I packed it

Hello?.

Yes, hello

What?. With the vice principal?.

Yes

What time?.

Not many at school
know about this

The discipline instructor
here and I know

And only the dead girl's
homeroom teacher knows

But not the boys' homeroom
teachers

I told the girl's teacher not to
disclose this to anyone...

as it will destroy the boys'
future and the school

So you should watch what you say

You don't have to worry
about us, sir

Since the boys' future are at stake,

we are being careful

You cannot even sleep-talk

Above all, hurry and settle
with the girl's family

How did you decide
on the compensation?.

Everything considered, we've
decided to pay 30 million Won

We believe that amount
will be adequate

So, have you all agreed on
the 30 million Won?.

Yes, of course

Someone can't payyet,
but everyone has agreed

Just hurry and settle things
with the girl's family

Okay.

All ye be awake and pray to
stand before ofthe Son of Man

IN FORMATION: REQUIEM MASS
FOR AGN ES, PARK HEEJIN

And I will raise them up
on the last day

These are the Lord's words

Praise Christ our Lord

Today, we are gathered here
to offer this Requiem Mass to...

Agnes PARK Heejin who
left us a few days ago

We lament this precious life
taken at the youthful age of 16

But we believe in God's words,
'He who believes in me...

will live, even though he dies'

We bel ieve God wi I l comfort
Agnes' soul...

and grant her the
happiness in Heaven...

she never found on earth

So we pray for Agnes...

that God will embrace...

the pain she had endured

So she will have eternal life
in Heaven

As one heart, we offer our...

most devoted prayer

All rise

For our Father who has raised
Christ from the dead,

Iet us pray for Agnes'
salvation

Lord, let Agnes who has received
eternal life through...

the sacrament of Baptism,
join the line of saviors

Lord, please hear our prayer...

For Agnes who has accepted
the Blessed Sacrament,

but has left us
This is our utmost appeal...

that you raise her again to be
back in your embrace

Lord, please hear our prayer

We also pray for her mourning
family and relatives

Please grant them peace
in their hearts

Lord, please hear our prayer

We pray in the name of
Christ our Lord

Amen

-Something wrong?.
-What?.

Is something wrong?.

Nothing's wrong
Why do you ask?.

You're very quiet

You're always chirping
away like a slylark

When was I chirping
away like a slylark?.

Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp

Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp

What's with the face?.

You look mad

Smile

I shouldn't smile

Why not?.

Men used to tell me not to smile
cause it made them fall for me

They all went gaga over
me when I smiled

You'll do the same if I smiled

Come out!

Now!

Look at the mess you've
sloughed off!

Snack wrappings, socks,
tissue, the remote control!

How many times has
grandma told you?.

That even animals clean up
after themselves!

Your socks, too!

Tomorrow the discomfort index
will be quite high due to...

the heat and humidity

Especially, it will rate the
highest between 3-4pm

Let's take a look at the
clouds on the surface map

A few cloud masses are
passing through the south...

and thin mist is scattered
along the central region

Tomorrow, high pressure is
moving towards the Yellow Sea

Jeju Isle and South Jeolla region...

Get up, get up!

Get up!

Grandma has something
to say to you!

Get up!

I said, get up!

Why did you do it?.

Why did you do it?.

Why are you stopping?.

I don't feel like eating

What does grandma like
the most in the world?.

Do you know or not?.

I know

What is it?.

'Food going into Wook's mouth'

Very good

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT
OF MY LIFE

I was raised by my grandma

So to me, my grandma was my mom

My grandma really loved songs

But she didn't know how to sing,

because she was always
working so hard

When I was reallyyoung,

we had this large white paper,
the kind you use for rituals

I wrote lyrics on the paper

And I taught my grandma to sing...

by pointing at each verse
with a chopstick

I think this the most beautiful
moment of my life

What was the song?.

'The Young Boat Woman'

My grandma passed
away last year

I remember I sang this song
for my grandma...

whenever I visited her place

Because she always asked
me to sing it for her

So, I always sang it for her

I married very late

And my first child was born
when I was almost forty

Because it was my first
delivery at a late age,

the doctors kept me on my toes...

I held it out for 1 0 months and
finally labor pains began

I never experienced such
pain before in my life

Anyway, finally amidst the
pain, my baby was born...

and I felt...something
slipping out...

this fiery hot mass
like the sun

The moment the baby
burst into its first cry,

was the most beautiful,
most amazing...

and emotional moment for me

I don't have any
beautiful memories

I'm sorry

For 20 years, I lived in
a basement room

Six years ago, I finally leased
an apartment in this town...

which had a low deposit
and monthly rent

So I moved here

I guess that was my
most beautiful moment

I spread-eagle on the floor...

feeling that I owned the world

THE SOUND OF BIRDS SINGING
WHAT ARE THEY SINGING?.

To write poetry is...

to remember mother's hands,
joint swollen,

washing the white rice
at cold dawn...

during winter solstice

Are you here alone?.

Yes, I heard there's
a poetry reading

Yes, please take a seat

To write poetry is to wake alone
deep in the night weeping

It is to build a
solid cornerstone...

to raise a pillar...

in your broken heart

It is to calm the bare corner
of the window,

shaking all night,
with all your might

It is to empty out without
hesitation...

the rancid water that
keeps rising

It is to create a forest of
emptyvoid

PEOPLE WHO LOVE POETRY
FRIDAY POETRY RECITAL

They say people who
love poetry...

are those who always
have flowers in their heart

Our Ms. CHO Mihye not only
has flowers in her heart,

but has a pretty one
covering her heart

Thank you

Next will be Mr. LEE Donglyu
in a red T-shirt...

who will be reciting, Ms. CHO's
'A Green-colored Cicada'

I always hear the sound of...

a cicada emanating
from your back

It cries, chirr, chirr,
rubbing its eyes

As the stain of last summer's
forget-me-nots fade from...

my fingertips, the cicada keeps
crying from your back

I, too am crying...

rubbing my wings

This poem talks about
a green-colored cicada,

but I thought of
an ordinary cicada

In search of its mate,
the cicada...

for a short few days, cries

to its fullest as if it's
smashing summer to pieces

I wonder if I could do the same

Living as passionately
as the cicada

This thought continues to linger

Thankyou

That was quite a commentary
from the heart

He must have worn a red T-shirt
to show his burning passion

Next will be Mr. PARK Sangtae
who's come after a long time

Although his leg is not well
from an accident,

he has kindly brought us
a large watermelon

Greetings

-I was actually here before
-Oh, I see...

-You weren't here last week
-Right

So, saying 'after a long time'
would be inappropriate

My mistake

-Have you learned your lesson?.
-Yes

'The Rose Thorn's Reason'

Don't try to steal me

The day thorns within me rise
like goosebumps all over my body

I dream of self-obliteration
with a crimson smile

Don't try to break me
for being beautiful

The kiss on red lips is...

the desperate passion
for virginity

Do not love me anymore

As the seasons' wheels
keep rolling on

I'm no expert,

but what a mighty good
picture of the rose

It is simply saying,
'do not eat me up'

Here is the word, 'kiss'

I thought about its
Chinese saying

A kiss means...

tongues coming and going
between two attached lips,

so it would be 'Sulwang Sulreh'.
(tongue comes, tongue goes)

A kiss means lips crashing
into each other

Then what do you call
two cars crashing together....

in a Chinese saying?.

Guhwang Guhreh
(car comes, car goes)

So a car instead of
tongue, right?.

You're thinking too hard

Two cars crashing together is...

It's a 'Gyotong Sagoh'

Car accident

I hurt my leg in a car accident

I'm staying at the hospital
now, but I slipped out today

You know what I thought
when I hurt my leg?.

That it would be nice
if this here...

my third leg popped out,

to help me balance myself

I still have to stay at the hospital,

but next time, I'll be back
in great shape.

-Can I sit here?.
-Yes, of course

I have something to askyou

About what?.

Your poems are wonderful

I still have a long way to go

You said you started poetry
recently

How could you write
such amazing poems?.

Well, in this case,
it came easily

As I wrote a line, words
I was never aware of...

unraveled like a thread of silk

Like I was swimming
and floating in poems

I wrote as if I was
a flying butterfly

If only I could do the same!

I've been trying to write poetry
myself, but I couldn't

When I started to write
poetry, I also fiercely sought...

poetic inspiration

But it made things more difficult

The point is the feeling

Ifyou have the feeling,
you can write poetry

But I do feel things...

Then write them down honestly,
like you're taking notes

That's the most honest thing

Hello

It's not so stinly today

I guess you didn't shit yourself

What's this?.

-Get this out for me
-What kind of pill is it?.

Why are you taking this pill?.

Are you sick?.

I'm not sick. It's just a nutrient

Why take a nutrient
all the sudden?.

Why are you being such a nag?.

Just get it out for me

Please

Let go! Stop it!

Before I die,

I wanna do it just for once

I don't need anything else

Just for once...

I wanna be a man

It's my wish

Let go of me!

Who do you think I am?.

What was that pill you took?.

What kind of pill is this?.

It's that thing you call
Viagra, right?.

You go dry and dress yourself!

No one else will from now on!

Ms. YANG Mija!

Here!

Go to Room 1, please

Okay

Hello

Please have a seat

Oh, those are camellias!

I just love camellias

Flowers of winter,
flowers of pain...

Are camellias flowers of pain?.

Yes, red flowers represent pain

White is virginity, yellow is glory

I've been studying lately
to write poetry

Poetry?. Are you a poet?.

No, I'm just trying to
write a poem

Did you come alone?.

Nobody's with you?.

I came by myself.
Why do you ask?.

I'd prefer talking to
someone else

Why?. Is there something wrong?.

The test results say...

you've got Alzheimer's

Often called, 'dementia'

No, I'm fine

You're fine for now

Since it's at a very early stage

But the disease has already
progressed

You're occasionally
forgetting words for now,

but graduallyyour
memory loss will worsen

At first, you won't
recall nouns...

and then verbs

You knowverbs, right?.

Of course I knowverbs

But nouns are the most important

Right, nouns are most important

Those are fake

I'm at the hospital

To get my test results

Huh?. What?.

The doctor says I'm okay

She told me to exercise

Exercise more

The doctor also told me
to write poetry a lot

Okay

Could you go to that place...

Ah...

Dongseoul, what was it?.
It was a Dongseoul something...

Where there are a lot of
cross-country buses

-The bus terminal?.
-Right, the bus terminal

I get like this

TIME PASSES AND
FLOWERS FADE

Wet lipstick on the wine glass

With myyearning foryou

-Which room is she in?.
-Room No. 5

Room No. 5?.

I've been grabbing onto
the rope I had to release,

but now's the time to let go

You may have forgotten...

my name by now

But I crudely raise...

a wineglass again because ofyou

Now I wanna take off
my dress of attachment...

and drink a glass of oblivion

Ma'am!

You're really good!

Oh my, don't embarrass me

I got bored waiting for you,
so I was killing time

You must have broken many
hearts back in the days

You've got great appeal

In fact,

I have too many stories to tell
about my past

Anyway, what brings you here?.

It's just that...

Regarding the 5 million
I have to pay

Can you lend me the money?.

I've got no one else to ask

Oh my...

Ma'am

Don't do this

I know

I do, but...

there's no way
I can get the money

So I'm asking you

I will payyou back

I'll even work here

I'll do anything

I'm sorry, but...

I don't have the money
to lend you

And there's no job for
you at a karaoke

Then what shall I do?.

I'll have to rob a bank, then

Talk to Wook's mom

Why won't you tell her?.

You said you talked about
everything with her...

and that you were
friends forever

I go to a Catholic church

And our church is quite
old and beautiful

In the front yard at springtime,

buds...

that spring from the branches...

are a grass green color...

which looks so sad

It's so pretty that it looks sad

So I would brush my hand
over the buds...

saying, "how pretty you are"

They say it's a sign that
I'm getting older

I might get sick or
be in agony, but...

I'm happy

I am happy

Now I am in love

But it's so beautiful...

and painful

It's painful because it's love
that cannot be

He's married like me

I always thought I despised him

He really has a bad temper

But one day, we were
leaving from a night shift...

and ended up sleeping together

It just happened once, but...

I couldn't erase that memory

The more I tried, the more
it reminded me of him

If only he hadn't been
in my sight

They say, 'out of sight,
out of mind'

But he wasn't intended
to be out of my sight

I cried and laughed like crazy

But the suffering is
driving me to death

But even the suffering
is beautiful

I recall a moment when
I was veryyoung

It might be the very
first memory of mine

I was too young to
remember how old I was

Three?.

Maybe four?.

I guess mom was sick

So my older sister
was taking care of me

We're seven years apart

In the living room,

the red curtains are
drawn closed

But through a slight opening,

the sunlight is seeping in

Now I can see half
of my sister's face

The other half is hidden
in the shadows

I think she dressed
me in pretty clothes

"Mija, come here. Come here"

She is saying, clapping
her hands

I am tottering to her

Although I was so little,
I knew my sister loved me...

as she told me to come to her

I felt so good

And so happy

'I am really pretty'...

was how I felt

"Mija, come here"

"Hurry over here, Mija"

Thank you

What brings you here?.
You're all wet from the rain

Give me the keys
to the 3rd floor

Are you coming back to work?.

What changed your mind?.

I thought you'd never come back

What are you looking for?.

Take this

Now

Ah, here she comes

-Thank you
-You're welcome

Well hello, ma'am!

Yes, hello

You're Wook's grandma, right?.

Yes. And who are you?.

I write for the 'Kyungkang Times'

It must be hard for you
these days, right?.

Well, it's okay

Let's see

Why don't we sit over here

You look amazing, ma'am

How nice of you

How are the settlements going?.

Not that great, I guess

How come?.

Is the victim's side refusing
your amount?.

I don't know for sure, but...

the girl's mom doesn't
want to settle, I guess

I see, the girl's mom...

With a case like that, it's
usually money problems

But are there reasons
other than money?.

-I don't know, but...
-Yes?.

What's wrong?.

No, I can't...

You can't, what?.

What's the matter?.

Please sit for a moment, ma'am

No!

I just have a few more
questions. Wait!

'We're trying to settle
with the girl's mom,

but she's refusing'
Is that what you said?.

I don't fucking believe this

Didn't we tell you to
watch your mouth?.

That guy from finally got his tip...

after sniffing out the school and
police station almost every day

She didn't say anything
specific yet

But it's never late to move now

If only the girl's mom keeps
quiet, we'll be okay

There's not much time

Come later, okay?.

I'm in an important meeting

How about meeting
the girl's mom yourself?.

-Who me?.
-Yes

You go meet and persuade
the girl's mom

What could I say to her?.

I can't do it

Just plead with her
heart-to-heart

Woman-to-woman

You can be better than us

Right, sounds like a plan

A poor old lady, raising
her grandson alone pleads...

woman-to-woman

Shedding a little tears

Yes, let's do that

Ma'am

Meet her immediately
I'll drive you there, tomorrow

Call me when you're done
I'll come to pickyou up

I'll take the bus. There
I see a bus stop

I can get home by myself

Anyway, call me ifyou need a
ride. Do a good job

Everything depends on you now
You do understand?.

Yes

Your outfit stands out too much

It really doesn't fit in with
the neighborhood

Then what should I do?.
Should I go back?.

I can come again in
different clothes

You can't just leave now

Your words hold the key

Don't say anything
to upset her, okay?.

You grasp the situation, right?.

I'll try

Excuse me

Is anyone there?.

Where did everyone go?.

Are you here for someone?.

I guess everyone's out?.

The gate was open so I invited
myself in, but no one's here

The mom's out in the fields
What brings you here?.

I have to talk to her

She'll be back around sunset

Why don't you go to
the fields to find her

Where's that?.

Over there you'll find
a plastic greenhouse

Go past it and there's a field
near a brook. She'll be there

How fussyyou are

THE APRICOT THROWS ITSELF
TO THE GROUND

IT IS CRUSHED AND TRAMPLED
FOR ITS NEXT LIFE

Hello

Yes, hello

Isn't the weather nice?.

Yes, the weather's being helpful

This place is quite nice
The scenery is so beautiful

It makes me want to live here

It's not an easy place
to live though

I found an apricot
on my way here

Many have fallen to the ground

I took a bite and
it tasted quite good

Fallen apricots have
a better taste

The one still on trees
are too puckery to eat

Yes, you're right

It tasted good

When I saw the apricots
on the ground,

I thought they were
full of yearning

Throwing themselves
to the ground...

be crushed and trampled on,

they prepare for their next life

For the first time, I realized
this about apricots

There were also garden zinnias
growing near the apricot trees

And how pretty they
fall to the ground

I felt so blessed to
walk in such beauty

I love flowers so much, I get
happy just to see them

Gazing at flowers
makes me feel full...

that I don't even need to eat

You must like flowers
cause you're pretty

You think I'm pretty?.

Why thank you

I do like to dress up a bit

How's the crop coming along
this year?.

It's so so

I hope it's a good harvest,
so you'll earn a lot

Prices will drop on a good year,

while it's as tough on a bad year

Nothing's easy, you know?.

Yes, but...

I hope everything goes well

Then...

have a good day

-Yes, goodbye
-Bye

Well...

I...

couldn't meet her

No one was home

So I left after waiting
for a while

I'm sorry

Excuse me?.

I'm sorry because...

I just returned without
meeting her

Die...

as you love

To the point that the Vairocana
Buddha...

hangs suspended...

by a finger

Die as you wait

To the point that
the Amitabha Buddha...

severs its head
to use as a pillow

Until dawn passes...

the iron bell for
offerings to Buddha...

does not ring

I sit by the columns of
BuseokTemple...

throughout my life

Unable to offer you even
one bowl of rice

But within a tear, I build a
temple and then tear it down

Above a rock hanging in the sly,
I build a temple

'Die as you Love'

Yes, I'd like to die as I love

It's a poem that
hits you strong...

Iike when you take
a cold shower

Next is...

Mr. PARK Sangtae who will
read AHN Dohyun's poem

I askyou

This is the title of the poem

Do not even dare kick at
the ashes of burnt coal

Have you ever been...

a burning person to another?.

That's the end

It's a good poem
cause it's short

The emcee mentioned shower

The recent heat wave makes you
shower everyday, right?.

Well I did some research
on showers

Do you know the
5 stages of showering?.

No

You don't?.

The five stages are...

Stage 1

Take shower!

Stage 2

Spread-eagle!

Stage 3

Get boner!

Next is...

Plug into!

And last but not least...

Oh, thank, yer!

Thankyou very much

Good health requires occasional
physical stimulation

I'm out of the hospital
and back at work

Ifyou everyvisit
the police station,

please stop by to see me

So he works at
the police station?.

Yes he does
Pretty funny, isn't he?.

We're here to love poetry

To love poetry is to seek
beauty, right?.

But he's always
talking dirty like that

It's like he's insulting poetry

He actually has a good heart

He used to work at the Seoul
Police Station,

but after reporting
internal corruption,

he was demoted to this
country police station

Really?.

It doesn't look like that

Mr. PARK!

-Mr. PARK!
-Yes, yes, yes

-This lady...
-Yes?.

She says you're insulting poetry

How come our chic
big sister thinks that?.

To recite poetry is
to love it, right?.

So?.

To love poetry is...

seeking true beauty

True beauty...That's
a tough one for me

I'm not that intelligent,
you know

Anyway, go on

At a place you're supposed
to seek beauty,

she says you're always...

talking dirty

Sorry, big sister!

I apologize for insulting poetry

I promise to repent

And to showyou I will,
let me pour you a glass

I can't drink

Just one glass

They sayyou should drink or
fall in love to write poetry

Attention everyone!

You all know...

the poet, KIM Yongtak, right?.

-Yes
-Good evening

I saw him drinking in the other
room and dragged him over

Greetings!

Actually I wasn't dragged here

I heard our 'Love Poetry'
members were here,

so I volunteered to
drop by and say hello

I was here with my young
poet friends for a drink

This man next to me...

is the poet, HWANG Myungseung

-Please join us for a drink
-Okay

-Join us as well
-Okay

Good evening, sir

Uh?. Are you also
a member of this group?.

No, I'm not

But I came to the reading
and ended up here

Anyway, in an era when
poetry is dying away,

I am so thankful and happy
that there are people like you...

who love poetry

-Sir
-Yes?.

Why are you saying
poetry is dying away?.

But it is. Unfortunately,

the day will come when
people no longer read...

or write poetry anymore

Poetry deserves to die!

He's still young, but he's a
poet with superb sensibility

This year, he was nominated for
the Sowol Literature Awards

And his poems are
quite provocative

'The color of the sly,
like a cat dead for a month'

Verses like this

Sir

How can I write poetry?.

It's difficult, isn't it?.

To write poetry

It is so difficult

As hard as I try,

I can't seem to write poetry

How can I write poetry?.

You said in your class...

that we all carry poetry
in our heart...

And that the poetry
trapped inside...

should get their wings
and fly away

Did you really say that?.

Wow, bravo!

To welcome the two poets here,

I'd like to dedicate a song

What are you doing here
alone, big sister?.

Are you okay?.

Are you drunk?.

Why are you crying, big sister?.

Is something wrong?.

Is it because of poetry?.

Because you can't write any?.

What's got into you?.
On a Sunday?.

I thought you'd be
sleeping all day

Gimme something to eat
I'm hungry.

Swirl it, swirl

I swirl pretty well, don't I?.

Hello there

Wook's grandma's here

I see you have guests
I can come back later

No, please come in

They're people you know,
so please come in

Hello

Please say hello,
this is Heejin's mom

Hello

She is PARKJongwook's
grandma

She visited your house
the other day

She felt so bad and sorry...

that she went alone
to apologize,

but she couldn't meet you
Isn't that right?.

Is Heejin's brother entering
mid. school next year?.

Yes

Is he getting good grades?.

I hope he is

-He's so so
-I see

He should study hard

Because his mom's managing
so hard on her own

Where are you going, ma'am?.

Ma'am!

Why did you just leave?.

Do you have the money ready?.

Actually,

no

I came here to tell you that

Just in case you'd be waiting

Then what shall we do?.

It's urgent

The talks are going well
with the girl's mom

It was really hard to make
her come all this way

That reporter helped us
arrange this meeting, okay?.

How can you sayyou don't
have the money now?.

Didn't you talk to
your daughter?.

Not yet

Why not?. You should have

Don't you understand
the situation?.

Say, "grandpa, I love you,"
okay?.

She's getting prettier
by the day

Let's see how she can kiss

Say, "I love you"
On the lips

Now, it's your turn

Who is it?.

Good

Grandpa stinks

Oh, ma'am!

This is so sudden

Yes, it is so sudden, right?.

Uh, right. What brings you here?.

I have to talk to Mr. KANG

Don't!

Okay, don't!

PLEASE GIVE ME 5 MILLION WON
I BEG YOU, DON'T ASKWHY

I wanna say I'm borrowing
the money,

but I can't because it's useless

Why should I?.

WHY SHOULD I GIVE YOU
MONEY WITHOUT A REASON

So you're here to talk to
my father-in-law?.

I guess it's something serious?.

It's nothing serious

I just came for the money
he owes me

He owes you money?.

What money?.

Dad

Do you owe her money?.

IS THIS BLACKMAIL?.

It doesn't matter
whatever you think

I won't make any excuses

Yes, yes. Taeyeol's dad
said he'll be here soon

And Byungjin's dad
has an appointment,

but he'll join us an hour later

Yes, yes. Come in. Yes

Enjoyyour meal

So you finally got the money?.

Then I'll be on my way

Sit. What's the rush?.

It's all cash

Did you really rob a bank?.

-So the mom settled?.
-Yes, she settled

Once the 30 million Won is
paid, it'll all be over

Since you paid your share,
NO PROBLEM!

Now everything's okay

That's why we're here for
a small celebratory drink

Since everyone has suffered

So is it all over now?.

Totally?.

It's hard to say it's totally over

If the victim's an adult,
a settlement is enough

But in the case of a minor,

if someone informs the police,
an investigation's required

But we cleaned up everything
with the school and the press...

and reached a settlement
with the girl's mom

So there's nothing to
worry about anymore

I'm sure you haven't eaten yet,
why don't you join us?.

-I have to go
-Really?.

What?.

Let's go!

Why?.

Good bye, ma'am

Enjoy your meal

Is it good?.

Is it?.

Take a bath when
you get home

Why?.

Just because

Take a bath and cut your nails

Since you recently got a haircut,
you won't need one

You should look decent

And your mom's
coming tomorrow

Why's she coming?.

I told her to come

It's been a while since
you've seen her

Look here

This part's still dirty

Was it too precious to clean?.

You need to scrub the back of
your heels when you take a bath

Why do you even need
a scrubbing towel?.

Is it just for fun or
to use as a pocketchief?.

You're always like this

You even bathe half-heartedly!

Even when you wash your face,
you just pat water on...

Iike a cat

Why won't you scrub your
ears and neck thoroughly?.

You should always...

keep your body clean

A clean body makes a clean mind

Nice shot!

Great!

Perfect!

-Hey, boy
-Yes?.

Come here. It's okay.

Big sister

Want me to teach you a trick?.

Your form ain't right,
Detective PARK!

What's wrong with my form?.
I look cool enough

Big sister, your serve

Nice shot!

Great!

Our big sister's great!

...trying to look cute
with your eyes like this

Then how should
my eyes be like?.

They should look like this

Since it's the last day,

you've brought me flowers

Thankyou

I'm touched

Actually

We didn't bring it

Ms. YANG Mija placed it
there and left

Ms. YANG Mija?.

She's even written a poem

But where has she gone?.

Did anyone else bring a poem?.

You were supposed to write
one poem by today

Anyone with a poem?.

No one?.

So the only one who has
written a poem is Ms. YANG

It's too difficult

No it's not

It's not difficult to write
a poem, but

to have the heart to write one

The heart to write a poem

Anyway,

Ms. YANG is not here, but

Iet's see what kind of poem
she has written

I'll read it on her behalf

The title is, 'Agnes' Song'

'Agnes' Song' by YANG Mija

Mom...

How is it over there?

How lonely is it?

Is it still glowing red at sunset?

Are the birds still singing on
the way to the forest?

Can you receive
the letter I dared not send?

Can I convey...

the confession I dared not make?

Will time pass and roses fade?

Now it's time to say goodbye

Like the wind that lingers
and then goes,

just like shadows

To promises that never came,

to the love sealed till the end

To the grass kissing
my weary ankles

And to the tiny footsteps
following me

It's time to say goodbye

Now as darkness falls

Will a candle be lit again?

Here I pray...

nobody shall cry...

and for you to know...

how deeply I loved you

The long wait in the middle
of a hot summer day

An old path resembling
my father's face

Even the lonesome wild flower
shyly turning away

How deeply I loved

How my heart fluttered at
hearing your faint song

I bless you

Before crossing the black river

With my soul's last breath

I am beginning to dream...

a bright sunny morning...

again I awake,
blinded by the light...

and meet you...

standing by me
