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
