Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter

Your fingers are glowing with blue light again today.

And as if to deliver a longed for message

the wind blows warmly from east to the west.

While I gaze upon you always

there are still words I could not say.

So today I decided to write down those thoughts I could not tell you.

Greedy Wolf Star, you are perhaps the one to whom I must stake all of my life

to cherish and love, my only woman.

However, as close as you are,

and as vivid as my feelings are,

I still could not approach you because I did not have courage.

However, I will promise you this.

Even if 1,000 years pass,

even if we are separated by something greater than the tallest mountain

I... I, just...

I will love only you.

I...

You know, I...

I am so angry.

Why do I

feel as if I am closer to Miss Fairy than the professor?

Ahjussi, are you crying?

Why do I feel as if

we have a relationship where we cannot be separated, no matter what?

Why does it feel like no matter how many times I'm born again

I will only look at Miss Fairy

and Miss Fairy will never forget me?

If I'm feeling like this,

I can't just let go of her, can I?

If her heart is really for Professor Jeong and not me,

I must ask her. Right, Jeom Soon?

I'm going to go tell her.

I will go tell her.

That ... even though I'm not sure myself,

even though nothing comes to mind, no matter how hard I think about it,

Miss Fairy

seems to be the one for me.

- Jeom Soon, Ahjussi will be going now. - You are really going?

And Jeom Soon, thanks for telling me everything.

I will protect you, so you will never get hurt.

So be strong...

Ahjussi!

Ah, I knew he would do that.

Don't worry, Ahjussi is going now.

Ahjussi, I also hope that you don't get hurt.

We ate lunch together.

Would it be too much if I ask to eat dinner with her, too?

But I still want to eat with her.

But maybe it really is too much?

Thinking this much about it is too much, actually.

Kim...

What's with that guy? Where is he rushing to, after not having seen my face all day?

Oh, my legs.

- Professor? - Oh, hi.

- What are you looking at? - Hey...

I have something to tell you, Miss Fairy.

What is it about?

Later...

I will tell you later.

- Miss Seon Ok Nam, can I see you in a bit... - Miss Fairy,

why isn't it me?

- I was also at the Fairy Waterfall together with you. - Hey, Kim Kim.

Miss Fairy, I have something that I want to say to you.

So, I...

So...

the way I feel... - Teacher Geum.

May I be the first to speak?

One hour before

Ms. Jo Bong Dae? Ms. Jo Bong Dae?

Did she go somewhere?

I visited my room because I had left something behind,

and Jeom Dol was shaking and ended up cracking, like this.

I was apprehensive because there was already a crack.

Will something happen to my Jeom Dol?

I am worried.

You have many worries lately, which is unlike you.

I told you that if you store him in room temperature, there should be no problems.

Did you put him in the fridge at some point?

No, I didn't, but

this is the first time that there are so many cracks.

Don't worry too much.

Do you know who unexpectedly has a strict concept of time?

Newborn babies.

They've been sleeping, completely unaware of the world, but exactly two hours after they are born,

they cry, wanting milk.

To be honest, adults are the ones who lose the concept of time. So they force promises

and punish them for breaking that promise, in order to control them.

But children, even after playing mindlessly, will suddenly appear

and hold their moms' skirts, even without being called.

Perhaps we can say that they know exactly what time they want to see their parents.

You said that this is Jeom Dol's first reincarnation after his father died, right?

Looks like the time has come for this boy to want to see his father.

Looks like you better find his father soon.

You said that he longed for his father so much.

All that effort to hatch from his egg and come out into the world, if his father is not there, how sad would he be?

Mother, so what is going to happen to Father now?

Your father has returned to the state he was in before he was born.

Father... Father...

I miss you.

Jeom Dol, are you going to come out now?

You are working so hard to break through your shell

but Mother is wandering, unable to prepare for your arrival.

I am sorry.

Mother is sorry to you.

Teacher Geum, my selfish thoughts

have disturbed your heart.

Relying on your kindness I've tried to overcome my fear of this strange place

and my feelings were drawn to your goodness and

But I must find my husband.

That is the reason that I came here

and the biggest reason that I must live for all these long years.

So, Teacher Geum, please don't waste your feelings on me

and live your beautiful life.

Is that person, for you,

the Professor?

That is what I believe.

Geum.

Beef Leg Bone Broth Brewed With Your Mother-in-law's Love

Welcome.

Who ordered the ox-tail soup?

Enjoy your meal.

Wow, this is fit for the royal table of the king.

I made sure to order ox-tail soup for you.

Eat already. You even gave your lunchbox to the lab kids. Ahn Jeong Min told me.

This is amazing. Have at least a little, okay?

Ahjumeoni. One bottle of soju and assorted boiled meat slices, please.

I, Jeong Yi Hyeon will speak. Don't fill up your soju cup by yourself in front of me.

If you do that, then what about me, who is without sin?

I will have to live by myself the rest of my life. (That's a kind of saying for filling up soju cup by themselves)

So did I

interfere in the destiny between you two, from the beginning?

Destiny?

Who knows? Is that something I can know?

As you know, I only believe in what is definite.

How can I believe anything vague?

When I even suspect what is proven in front of me?

That is my personal motto.

So your feelings towards Miss Fairy,

it was nothing to you?

Kim,

you see,

I suffered all my life from insomnia and nightmares.

What all that means,

how can a puppy-like guy like you understand?

Night comes, every day. And I close my eyes, every night.

And then,

I become a child

and always get locked up in the same place.

Please save me!

I become abandoned every day

and I feel like my body burns with hatred, every day.

Every time, the same ghosts appear and curse me the same way.

And,

it's not possible to develop a tolerance for that.

It's always scary.

Why me?

Why exactly is this happening to me, I thought about that over a hundred times.

But

I never found the answer.

And then one day, Seon Ok Nam appeared in front of me, wearing that big flower in her hair.

Kim,

do you think that is destiny?

When Seon Ok Nam appeared to me,

I began to sleep properly

and felt at ease for the first time.

But

it has not yet been proven that she and I are destined to be together.

And

I am a really smart guy, but as always, I am anxious about something because there is no proof.

But Miss Fairy

chose you, Professor.

What use is proof?

But I must have proof.

Because without it, she may find her true destiny and leave you.

What? Why are you crying?

I have to go.

Why, all of a sudden?

I have to see Miss Fairy.

But as drunk as you are ...

Hey, just one more little drink? Just one?

Hey, you're wearing me out, stop running.

That jerk, he's doing that on purpose because he knows that my ankle still hurts.

Over there...

What? What about it?

That woman over there.

What are you saying, scaring me?

Don't go insane, at least.

Let's go together.

Oh, that idiot.

Hey.

Will you really act like this?

I know you.

I saw you before.

What are you saying?

What's with you? You are really scaring me.

That's right.

I saw you at the mountains.

I'm really going now. I'm leaving.

She was a deer, then.

Where are you going? Do you have a place to sleep?

Look here,

Hey, Kim Kim, won't you come to your senses?

Professor, you made her go away.

Hey, if you're drunk, let's nicely go home already.

Acting this way really makes you an idiot, all right?

I told you that you are scaring me. Stop it, or I will hit you.

I remembered.

In Miss Fairy's room, that time,

it was you, Professor.

That woman, just right now,

she was you, Professor...

I should have learned how to curse from Ham Sook.

It's not enough to call him a bastard, but I can't think of anything else.

Here, here, here.

Be gentle, please.

That must have been difficult, Professor.

Aigoo, why did he drink so much?

I guess it was real news, and not fake news.

Has something happened between you and my Geum?

No, no, no.

Then, goodnight.

Uh...

Mother, I gratefully enjoyed your lunchbox.

What is going on?

Is that person, for you,

the Professor?

I believe that he is.

♫ It feels maybe starting from very long ago ♫

♫ we already knew each other ♫

♫ I don't think I was the only one who felt it. ♫

♫ From just a brief face to face encounter ♫

♫ memory woke me ♫

♫ from a distant dream ♫

♫ After such a long wait ♫

But I must find my husband.

That is the reason that I came here

and the biggest reason that I must live for all these long years.

So, Teacher Geum,

please don't waste your feelings on me

and live your beautiful life.

♫ On a fine day, you will come and find me. ♫

Mom.

Jeom Soon, have you woken up?

Mom, did you stay up all night?

I thought you were a phantom.

Embroidering was such fun ... so I ended up staying up all night.

Suddenly? Since last night?

Yes.

Is this me?

Is it pretty?

But this looks like the hat that Ahjussi Kim Kim gave me as a gift.

Does it?

It appears to be so, yes.

Mom, has something happened with Ahjussi Kim Kim?

No.

What is it with such a quick reply?

Yesterday, Ahjussi...

No, I shouldn't be embroidering right now. I'd better prepare to open the café.

I'm worried about Ahjussi Kim Kim for some reason. Is it this mood?

Geum, get up and have some porridge.

Do you have a fever?

Aigoo, what to do? Did you catch a cold?

I'm all right. I'm just tired.

Can you eat some porridge? I'll go get some medicine, but you shouldn't take medicine on an empty stomach.

I'm sorry, I'll eat it later.

Has something really happened?

Oh, right. Has Professor Park called you, by any chance?

Professor Park? Who is that?

If you have any calls from an unknown number, try calling it back.

He was looking for you yesterday

so I gave him your number.

Aigoo, I understand. You look tired, so sleep some more.

Yes.

It was you, Professor.

That woman just right now,

she was you, Professor...

What is this?

It keeps bothering me.

That's right.

I saw her at the mountains.

- I'm going now. - But she was a deer, back then.

A deer...

I...

... am you.

Why are they all me?

Professor Jeong.

Oh, so shocking.

Ah, hello.

Has something bad happened?

I feel some disturbance in your vibe.

Why are you asking me that while smiling?

Oh, right. Does Kim Geum's mother have a boyfriend?

Huh?

You look so dismayed right now, so she must not have one. I'm right, aren't I?

But how would I know... ?

Seeing you hesitate, there is someone. Is that man her boyfriend?

That man?

Green Tea

This is Park Joon Seong.

Hello, I am Kim Geum's mom.

Why are you still standing there?

You sure took your time returning my phone call.

If it won't be too much trouble, may I ask why you want to speak to me?

You stole that green tea from me, that time, didn't you?

Oh, I see, you were that man.

So, I want to ask

if you possibly went to see my Geum because of this problem?

Of course I did. He is very nearby.

Do you have some time today?

I happen to have some business in that area today.

Because without it, she may find her true destiny and leave you.

Why do I keep hearing that voice?

Are you hurt somewhere?

Oh, hello.

Professor, your complexion doesn't look good. Are you all right?

Allow me...

Yes, indeed.

- How many times did I say it might be a contagious illness? - Do you have fever?

I could fry a pancake on that. It is very hot.

I'm fine, though.

Really?

It's not good to hide it if you contracted the contagious illness.

We are celestial beings, so we will probably be fine,

but these students, what have they done to deserve that?

He said he is fine, though.

A professor is ranked above an teaching assistant, right?

Indeed, you are a professor.

Since Assistant Geum couldn't come.

Due to fever. But you? With this boiling fever.

You, Professor, came to the school. Indeed you're different.

You just complained that he was at school, but now you are praising him for it?

Be clear about your position.

He says it's not a contagious illness!

Attending school is better than being absent, isn't it?

You're here to drink coffee, right? Let's go.

You're here?

You came.

But something is on your face, below your eye. Is it flakes of ash?

That's right, what is that? Is that a bruise?

I was embroidering all night, and...

which coffee would you like?

I heard of people poking their thigh with needles all night (to stay awake).

But why would anyone stay up all night to embroider? That seems wretched.

Such a rascal. Why are you mentioning thighs here?

Why couldn't you sleep last night?

Has something hurt your heart so much that you couldn't sleep?

Wow, there are even things that I know better than a college professor.

When you poke your thigh all night,

it's not because your heart hurts and you can't sleep.

So what I'm saying is, let's see...

A wife living alone without her husband, you mean. (dok-soo-gong-bang)

What dog-poop nonsense are you talking about?

I'm talking about poking your thighs with a needle.

Why are you talking about eagles? (dok-soo-ri = eagle)

Please stop talking, take your coffee, and stay out of this.

There you go sneaking in a way to touch my lips again.

Seriously!

Why would you order Dark Water?

I haven't had it before

so I thought I would try it.

Dark Water causes different reactions based on the state of your body and heart.

So it is often ordered by those who are confused or flustered.

It tastes good.

That is good to know.

But it can make you sensitive today, so please be careful.

Sorry about a little while ago.

Even before I drank Dark Water, I was acting over-sensitive.

It's all right.

I keep hearing strange sounds.

They are probably auditory hallucinations due to anxiety.

But why are you anxious?

Probably because you continue to look so listless.

Kim Kim got home safely last night.

I see, that is good to hear.

So...

I know it's selfish of me

but could you stop thinking about Kim Kim?

If you keep doing this, Seon Ok Nam,

it hurts my heart too much.

I feel feverish.

Dark Water is really Dark Water, indeed.

I'll be on my way.

Oh, I came to see you yesterday to ask you this.

Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?

That is all right, isn't it?

That is all right.

Excuse me...

Is Kim Kim... wait, no...

Is Mr. Kim Geum here?

He is absent today because he is sick. Who are you?

He's sick? How?

He said it's not serious, just fatigue.

But who are you? Who shall I say came to see Sunbae Geum?

I'll just contact him myself.

Goodbye.

Settle the amylase properly instead.

Kim Geum, he really was an onion-like man. (many layers beneath the surface)

That innocent face of his, and disguising himself as a friend to insects.

His taste for women which transcends age and employment status.

So who cares what he does? What are you fussing about?

Noona, I think you've been pushed down to Number 3, for me.

That cute young lady has climbed to the rank above the convenience store noona, who has held the rank continuously for 6 weeks.

Oh, I see.

Well, please remove me from that survey.

Before you die.

Mom is acting strange

and Ahjussi is sick.

Oppa Gyeong Sool?

Oppa Gyeong Sool? Eom Gyeong Sool!

Why is that scary girl following me?

Now I can't even come here.

But this is really shocking.

What do I do about this?

Mom

No, Mom, I really am enrolled this time...

About Weasel,

he is a bit sensitive, just like Teacher Goo said.

You saw him, right? He's not a stage actor

but he pulled at his own hair and even talked to himself, didn't he?

He was sick with a high fever, but in order to see the girl he liked, he went all that way.

I thought it was romantic.

And why do you call him Weasel?

You shouldn't criticize people behind their backs.

But why do you keep trying to lecture me?

Did I pay you monthly tuition?

All right, fine, I will stop.

You don't even know what dok-soo-gong-bang means. (dok-soo-gong-bang = wife living alone without husband)

Why wouldn't I know about eagles? (dok-soo-ri = eagles)

A long time ago, an eagle almost ate me.

Fine, how proud you must be. Good for you.

But you know, for me,

that Fairy Seon longs for her husband,

I think that's very nice and everything.

But I actually hope that things work out between her and that Teaching Assistant Geum.

What sort of horse pucky is that?

I'm afraid that the heavens might hear you.

I'm just saying when Fairy Seon and Teaching Assistant Geum look at each other

their eyes brim with tears, and their lips tremble, like this.

And their cheeks, um...

Shall I say that their cheeks twitch?

Their hearts are aching for each other, and it is so obvious when you see it. Why do you ignore that?

It's just like how you ignore my vast knowledge.

Be quiet. She nearly found her husband, are you about to flip the board over?

What board is there, in a situation like this?

What your heart wants? What game board could there be?

So the reason you were kicked out of the celestial world has been magnified.

You got into so many relationships with this fairy and that fairy.

So you've been sentenced to live your whole life with that face,

and that is how North Dipper Star King punished you, the rumors say.

But I always had this face.

In the celestial world, with this face, I would just play a few strings of the zither,

and the fairies would automatically cry.

The crying fairy is the one who should be blamed.

Are my fingers that plucked the strings of the zither at fault?

Yes, you are so amazing.

Why do you have so many things to say, today?

In any case, don't try to push Fairy Seon and Kim Geum together.

To be blunt, that Jeom Soon gets along better with Teaching Assistant Geum.

Think about it. We, who are like her immediate family,

Teaching Assistant Geum takes better care of us.

Shut that mouth!

If my words are correct or not, you will find out later.

My eyes are not big like a cow's for no reason.

I can see things others cannot.

Then how about seeing some letters while you are at it?

Goodness, why did my eyes become smaller all of a sudden?

I saw her before somewhere.

If you want to talk about games, come by any time.

I'm nearby here all the time.

Is she a ghost or what?

My mom's going to yell my head off if I don't go to that class.

But why is that woman there anyway?

Is she taking the SAT?

BABEANS COFFEE

I know it is selfish of me

but could you stop thinking about Kim Kim?

If you keep doing this, Seon Ok Nam, it hurts my heart too much.

To the spirit inside the phone. I have a question to ask.

This humble fairy's eyes keep going to another who is not my husband.

What is this heart?

Is this heart also a true heart?

Oh my goodness.

The spirit ...

[AD] A splendid opportunity has come to you, only till today.

A splendid opportunity? What do you mean?

Ok Nam, everything has its proper timing.

If you miss the timing, you can't live.

But if you ride on the timing, you live.

You as well. Your most important timing in life will come.

When that time comes, you will know.

Do you comprehend what I'm saying?

I don't know, North Dipper Star King.

Proper timing or good opportunity. I don't know anything anymore.

Was I deluded from the start?

My memory of my husband isn't whole.

And my heart is trying to realize something that cannot be.

♫ Those long stories ♫

Even coming here, was it all a mistake?

♫ will overflow and overflowing even if you drench me ♫

♫ will shine. Our kisses ♫

♫ I believe the good day will come one day ♫

Maybe I shouldn't have drank Dark Water.

I should've just drank Moonlight Elegance.

My head.

Professor Lee

What are you doing? You don't have class though.

I'm just here.

Help me train. I've the triathlon competition soon.

I'm not in the mood for swimming.

Not swimming.

My ankles aren't in any condition for running either and it's raining outside right now.

It's not running either.

I don't have a bike. I can't help you.

I just need your hand. See you in a bit at the gym.

Really?

What is she trying to do to my hand?

Water.

Kimbap.

I can't swallow this down.

I need rice to feel energized.

Is this really necessary?

You can't have stamina if your sugar level drops. Don't you know?

If I don't want to get tired, I need to eat something during the race.

But I need to practice that too or else I'll just puke.

I'll start over so just give me the rice ball.

Nothing with seaweed on it. The seaweed keeps getting stuck in my throat.

Why do you do this difficult exercise?

I don't know. I guess I want to test myself?

If I don't do anything, I don't know what kind of a person I am and what I'm capable of.

Is that something you have to know?

You're not curious about yourself?

I'm ... scared of knowing myself.

That's dumb. Why?

- It's him. - Oh, it's him?

Yep, the nun's kid.

- So that was true? - Can't you tell?

How can a nun give birth to a kid?

What are they going to do with that kid?

The world is full of all sorts of strange things.

To be a nun and . . .

Are you going to keep behaving disobediently?

I told you not to go out, didn't I?

You're a kid who shouldn't have been born here. Got it?

You weren't supposed to be born.

I know if I peel away my layers, it'll all just be a mess.

Why do you think that way?

What's with you? Too full of yourself again?

You're pretty all right, even if I peel off your layers.

Nah. I wasn't going to tell you because I thought you might act way too arrogant.

But I think the more you peel, the better you might be. Even possibly as great as me.

Want to eat some?

I'm not going to.

And also what do you know about me exactly?

I'm someone who's always only cared about myself

and someone who has to get even if anyone offends him.

You know that?

People who grew up being loved. I secretly hate them.

Did you know that?

Jeong Yi Hyeon, did you eat something bad?

What is with you, so suddenly?

Refill sugar level? So you're not tired? And then?

Do you really think the strong and dashing self that you imagine will really be standing at the finish line?

You just want to be good at everything and getting applauded for everything.

Your greedy self that wants to make everything yours.

That very exhausted version of yourself will be at the finish line, looking unsightly.

If you just have to see that image, then eat well.

If your sugar level drops, you can't see that image.

I'll go now. From now on, practice by yourself.

This son of a...

bitch.

So mean! I can't eat this.

Why are we so upset?

Who are you?

You still don't know who I am?

How disappointing.

Don't believe this.

I will live and atone.

Atone? Not revenge?

You got abandoned and you got betrayed.

You never ever had anything

and you're already so anxious about some feelings now.

Pitiful kid. No one loves you.

Stop. Please stop!

Your foolish heart.

I see that it will ruin me again.

When there is nothing in this world as simple as vengeance.

Teaching Assistant Geum, do you have a flashlight?

That hag, Fairy Oh was acting so pompous but dropped her hairpin in the drain.

You're already asleep?

But this is troublesome.

I mean, I supported you, Teaching Assistant Geum, but look how lazy you are.

The professor is still working even when it's raining.

I thought you were dependable but why do you sleep so much?

He said it wasn't a contagious sickness.

I'm not stealing.

Yummy food should be shared.

For what reason do you go around getting rained on?

You're all drenched.

Did something happen?

For a moment.

Let me be like this just for a moment.

Look at me.

It's too hard.

So hard.

In the end, you will leave me too, right?

Please tell me. What happened?

From where?

From what?

My very birth into this world was a problem.

As if that's not enough, I keep having dreams of getting abandoned.

If you get peckish, eat this.

The kids won't even dream you'd be here.

Save me.

Let me out.

Save me!

Save me!

Great Gate Star, Lee Ji, you have disobeyed the gods and the celestial sphere.

You've committed the crime of defying the heaven's order.

You are exiled from the celestial sphere.

I thought I'd be saved after meeting you.

The more I try to get close to you, the deer shows up,

and tells me I need to atone.

Some woman shows up and tells me to take revenge.

I'm about to go crazy from those memories with meanings I can't even fathom.

The memories you behold are likely memories from your past life.

The memories that were forgotten upon your birth, then filled to the brim and overflowed,

Please try to accept them instead of pushing them out.

You and I must go back.

You must remember them even if they pain you.

Do you really not remember anything?

I became this way because of you.

Since you betrayed me.

Give it back. The winged robe.

Will it be alright to return it though?

Then your wife would fly away right away.

Since there are two kids, she'd hold one in each arm and flee.

Will you be alright to be left behind alone?

Give it back.

Much time has passed already.

If we stay like this as is, the stars will lose their places.

And people will no longer hold God in their hearts.

And the disarray of sky and land will only get worse.

We must go back.

How's that related to me?

I'm supposed to endure pain just to worry about someone else's feelings?

I don't believe in that stuff.

You are a good person.

Even though you speak such hurtful words, I know it.

How?

The rain drops do not touch you.

As if she has a shield on.

While I'm completely drenched like this.

How can this happen?

Fairy Seon Ok Nam left.

Miss Fairy.

Jeom Soon, I have something to tell you.

She said she had no reason to stay here anymore.

Why do people leave me? What did I do so wrong?

I miss Seon Ok Nam.

Because she's the most precious person to me, I want to keep her near me.

Ahjussi, hello.

Hello.

I need to go back to her.

Hurry and come out. It's dangerous.

♫ Even if I am living differently ♫

"That's My Green Tea!" Ill-fate at the vending machine. How will this fate end?

Come on in.

The green tea you're nuts for. Drink lots.

And also, never ever to me, or to my Geum,

even try to contact us over something like this.

Wait. Why would you bring so many . . .

Seriously! Clear this up.

If you want it cleared, you do it, Ahjussi!

Ahjussi?

What? You thought I was presenting you a bribe so you can take it easy on my Geum, Professor?

Why this . . .

Think about it thoroughly now.

At the vending machine that day.

Did you push or not push the green tea button after putting in money?

You didn't even push it, so how is the green tea that came out, yours, Ahjussi!
