Good

Mommy!

How was the trip?

It was a total waste of time.

Grandpa, Granny sheep is dead.

Really?

I thought she was getting
better the past few days.

I didn't think that was a signal.

Did you give her a decent burial?

Yes. We buried her in the woods.

Good.

How did the meeting go?

And you Seol, did you help out too?

The meeting was a waste of time.

There doesn't seem to be a solution.

Well, when the cattle
market opens next week...

They're going to close it
down for another two weeks.

Another two weeks?

They found the virus again in Gimpo

Damned virus.

Mr. Huh came by earlier on.

Why? Did he want money for the cattle feed?

Yes.

We can't afford to pay
him until we sell the cattle.

He should know better.

I heard they're going
to hike the price again.

Those crooks.

Hello?

Yes.

He's outside.

This is Seol.

Hello?

Seol, Who was that?

I don't know.

Seol, eat slowly. You're
gonna have a tummy ache.

Mommy, I want corn.

I'll make you steamed corn after dinner.

When will you stop calling
your daddy 'mommy'?

Never!

I used to call my father 'mother'.

Really? How come?

When I was little, my mother was ill
and she was in the hospital for months.

I stayed at my aunt's.

That's when I started calling my father
'mother', and my aunt 'grandma'.

Who did you call 'father'?

I don't think there was anyone.

Then my mother came home, but I
kept on calling my father 'mother'.

Whenever I saw my mother,
I would just stare at her.

She must have been sad.

I heard she cried a lot.

Seol's probably doing the same thing.

Is your friend coming tomorrow?

Yes.

That handsome fellow?

Yeah. I suppose you could say that.

What did you say he did for a living?

He's a writer. He writes poetry.

Poetry…

I hope I didn't wake you.

No.

But Seol just fell asleep.

Oh, already?

She said she wanted corn
so I brought some for her.

Thank you.

I'll have some.

Do you want to join me?

No, it's late.

Enjoy. Have a good rest.

Thanks.

It's very kind of you. Good night.

Uh, I was wondering… What
are you doing this weekend?

Well, I thought I'd show
my friend around Hwa-cheon.

Oh, yeah. He's coming tomorrow.

Yes. Is there something
you want to…?

Oh, it's nothing. Have a good night.

Seol, the bus is coming.

I can't wait to see him.

Uncle Hyun-min!

Seol! Look at you. You're a big girl now.

I have a present for you.

Ta-da!

- Do you like it?
- I do!

Long trip, eh?

I had to wait two hours for that bus.

- Let's go. I'll show you the farm.
- I couldn't wait to see your place.

Let's go Seol.

Are you going to put those in the rice?

Yes, I'm making potato rice.
He says he's never had it before.

Really? They don't have that in Seoul?

Would you like to try some?

It's pretty good.

Pretty good?

It's good enough to
bring your husband back.

I thought the saying went, 'good enough
to make in-laws come back for more'.

It was always the husband
according to my grandma's version.

You're in a good mood today?

Am I?

Did you have a look at the farm?

Yes, I did as soon as I got here.

What a beautiful place you have.

The sheep were so docile.

You know that's not true.

Sheep are stubborn animals.
They are disobedient.

They're just like us.

Selfish.

Is that so?

They seemed mild and
gentle. I guess I was wrong.

Did you know that Jin-woo can be stubborn?

Me?

Oh, I guess I must have
overlooked that side of Jin-woo.

Nah. He's making fun of me.

Are you friends from school?

Yes. We've been friends since college.

I majored in literature
and he was in fine arts.

Fine arts?

I didn't know that. Were you a painter?

Yes.

He never told you?

He painted, did some design work.

We met at an institute where
I was taking drawing classes.

Wow, can you draw me something?

Oh, it's been too long.
I don't draw anymore.

Why not?

It's been too long.

What a surprise.

I had imagined you as an ex-martial
arts fighter or something like that.

Ex-martial arts?

Nana. This is… Seol.

This is Mama.

This is Moon-kyung. Grandpa, Uncle.

- Okay, Go get some rest.
- Thank you for everything.

Seol, let's go.

Call it a night?

- Do make yourself at home.
- Oh, thank you.

Let me know if the room's not warm enough.

You can keep this Nana. We'll
play again tomorrow, okay?

Watch out for the stairs.

Seol, get changed before you play.

Nice place you have.

Do you like that?

Don't do that again.

Take care.

Thank you. See you next time.

He's here.

So? They're gonna open the class?

- Yeah, they decided to do it.
- Really?

Uncle, so you're not a bum anymore?

Huh? No, uncle's not a bum anymore.

What did you tell Seol about me?

That you're a great bum?

Seol, do you know what a bum is?

Yes. Someone like you.

I reckon the market will
open next week at the earliest.

All right. I'll see you next week.

I understand. There's
nothing we can do about it.

Today's not a good day for
me. I don't drink much these days.

Yes, all right.

I'll join you then.

Shouldn't Seol be in kindergarten?

I don't want to send her to kindergarten.

Why not? Don't you
want her to make friends?

As if you had many friends in school.

Me? I was a total 'insa'. An insider.

'Insa'? Poets don't talk like that.

What's wrong with that?

I can say whatever I like.

'Insa', insider… Very funny.

You know, the school years were terrible.

I don't want her to go
through that. At least for now.

I want her to run around the hills,

to play with sheep, catch insects…

I think that's better
for her. At least for now.

Aren't you projecting your own fears?

Seol?

Seol?

Seol?

Wish me luck.

What do you think is the most difficult
part of writing one's first poem?

It's just hard.

It's difficult to be inspired, to
conceive an idea, to write a good sentence.

But I think the most difficult
part is to think outside the box.

It's more difficult than you might
think to break away from your usual ideas.

So today, we're going to do a
simple exercise to practice this.

What are the things can you
do with a 'cell phone'?

'To take out'

'To take out the cell phone' Good.

'To take out'... Anything else?

'Put in the pocket'

'Put in the pocket'... 'To
put the cell phone in the pocket'

'Put in the pocket'...
What else can you tell me?

'To throw'

'To throw'... 'To throw the cell phone'

Let's do one more.

Here. 'To smash'

'To smash the cell phone'

Great. 'To smash the cell phone'

Now, let's switch this word
'cell phone' to something else.

It's now autumn, so how about 'autumn'?

'To take out autumn'

'To put autumn in the pocket'

'To throw autumn'

'To smash autumn'

It seems to work. How do they sound?

Good.

Right? Isn't it fun?

I think the last one is the best.

By doing this, we can practice breaking the fixed
ideas between an object and its predicative.

Brilliant!

Are you feeling good today, Grandma?

Are you enjoying Seol's company?

Nana, do you want a shampoo?

No. Nana's already shampooed her hair.

We're all done. Wash your hands, Seol.

Let's dry your hair.

Try not to think too much.

Write whatever comes to your mind.

Feel free to show me. See
you next class. Goodbye.

See you next class.

Goodbye.

When did you get here?

A minute ago. How was it?

Great. Everyone's so nice here.

Looks like you're doing a good job.

- Hop on!
- Where did you get this?

Where are we going?

Far.

Far?

Yeah. Very far.

You know how to drive this thing, right?

No doubt.

Please don't kill me.

It's nice. No one's around.

It is quiet.

Don't you ever get bored?

Time goes really fast
when I'm sitting out here.

I can sit here all day.

I should try that then.

Now I also have you.

Nana, look at this. It's rice.

It's wet. What's this?

Should I pluck this?

This looks like a butterfly.

Sweep over there.

Nana, did you have fun?

Who are you?

What? What is it?

She says she's a twin sister of…

Mommy!

I'm married.

I opened a little cafe with the
money I've been saving up.

Why are you here?

How did you know I was here?

Whether you like it or
not, we're still a family.

Is that how you say 'hello' around here?

Why? Do you want to take
Seol now after all these years?

You dropped out of sight
and never got in touch…

You can talk.

Do you plan on hiding with
Hyun-min for the rest of your lives?

What was it that you said?

You said you'll come
back for her within a month.

That you'll come back for her as
soon as you find work. But did you?

Do you think I had a choice?

I scraped up every penny
after that son of a bitch ran off…

You never came to see Seol.

Now I can take care of everything.

I came here to make things right.

When you left Seol five
years ago, it was for good.

Seol, stop staring.

It's rude to do that at the dinner table.

Seol, what is it?

How come they're twins
but don't look like each other?

Oh, that's because they're fraternal twins.

Fraternal?

Yes. Identical twins look alike.
Fraternal twins look different.

And also, he's a boy and she's a girl.

They don't look like each
other but they're still twins?

Yes. They were born together.

Now they're making
the same sulky face. Look.

Yes. They're making the same face.

Yes?

I brought some comfy clothes.

Oh, thank you.

She is sound asleep.

Have a good night.

I'll think about it.
You think about it too.

Careful.

Grandma.

Grandma.

You're up?

Oh, it stinks in here.

Grandma, get up. Let's
get you to the bathroom.

Get up.

What's wrong?

Leave me alone!

No, Grandma. You have
to go to the bathroom.

Leave me alone!

What's wrong,
Grandma? Come on. Please.

Why should I go to
the bathroom. Go away.

Grandma, I'm sorry.
But you have to, please.

Go away.

Why are you bothering me.

Why don't you ever get out of
the house? Is that to pick on me?

Go find yourself a
husband! Stop bothering me.

Why won't you bugger off!

Grandma. I hate it as much as you do.

But come on. We must get you cleaned up.

Leave me alone!

Oh, you came?

Seol, Nana's here. Let's get you down.

Grandma.

Seol, you came too.

Mrs. Choi, how was the appointment?

She's been in a bad mood all day.

Is it getting worse?

It's only going to get worse.

She seems to be in a bad shape today.

Anyway, it's good that you came.
We had to do some grocery shopping.

Great. We'll go together.

Grandma, let's do some shopping
at the market and eat something nice.

She eats well.

This is the only and
all-time favorite of hers.

Just a moment, please.

Yes?

I'm still in Hwa-cheon.

I think I'll be stuck
here for another few days.

Jin-woo insists on keeping her.

What are you taking about?
I'm bringing her with me.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm sorry but…

Can you look after the
cafe for a couple more days?

I know you're afraid to let
the little one out into the world.

But you can't hold on to
it for too long.

You hear me?

This is yours. Thank you
for spending time with us.

Don't mention it.

That's why it's important
to express something in writing.

Think about it.

Do you fully experience your emotions?

Are you fully sad when you're sad?

Fully happy when you're happy?

Fully angry when you're angry?

More often than not, we fail to
feel the emotions to the full extent.

Because we tend to repress them.

Carefully observe what you've been
feeling lately and put that into writing.

From our next class, we'll take turns
to read our weekly assignment out loud.

I'm going to write something
too and read it out to you.

We'll read and share our thoughts.

Since this is our first gathering
with our young poet and our tutor,

this is on the house.

Isn't it a bliss to
sit around a barbecue?

Like what teacher said

help yourself to the meat
and feel it to the full extent.

Oh, barbecue. Oh, happiness.

Cheers!

By the way, what made you move down here?

Oh, I was living in Seoul
but I got tired of the city, so…

Do you plan on staying here?

Yes, I plan on living here.

I have a question. Do
you have a girlfriend?

Uh… yes. I do.

- Is she in Seoul?
- Yes.

Is she pretty?

Nana!

Nana, where are you going?

Where are you going?

There is someone I need to
see. I'll come back soon.

You stay here.

Who?

I'll be back soon. Go and play.

Don't be long.

Seol, where is Nana?

Nana said she had to go somewhere.

Somewhere?

Where?

Where did she go?

- What's going on?
- Grandma's missing.

What?

Which way did she go? Seol?

Come on. You go that way.

I'm pleasantly drunk.

You're drunk?

Nice people, nice weather, nice smell.

You seem chirpy?

You have something to tell me, don't you?

Is she insisting on
taking her this time? Seol?

Am I being selfish?

What are you going to tell Seol?

What's going on?

Oh, hey. The old lady had been gone…

But we found her soon enough.

We could have lost her forever.

She spoke well though.

She probably came
around to herself…

which makes me more nervous.

Look at the bright side. You
should talk to her more often.

You don't have to worry too much.

Thank you. Sorry to
trouble you at such late hours.

Oh, don't mention it. She is
in good condition. No wounds.

All right. You should go now.

If you have any problem,
don't hesitate to call me.

We'll get going.

Thank you.

Wanna sit down?

I know it's terrible but…

I couldn't help thinking...

what it would've been
like if Seol also went missing.

I can't even imagine.

Don't say that.

I know what you're thinking.
I know it's nice out here.

But you know what?

I think it's important for her to have
what all the other kids have.

It really is.

I can raise her now.

I'm gonna be a good parent.

We'll visit from time to time.

I promise.

Do you think you can convince Seol?

Don't have too much of that.

How's mother? Is she asleep?

Yes.

She chatted a lot before
she fell asleep. She's hale.

I'm scared that she
might suddenly pass away.

I know it's difficult for you.

Look after yourself. I can't do this again.

I'm worried about you.

Please don't start.

I can take care of myself.

Jin-woo...

Do you like him?

Jin-woo?

I do.

What is it with you today?

What?

Are you worried that your daughter
might end up marrying a man with a kid?

- It's not that.
- Then what?

Let's call it a night.

You always do that, Dad.
You never finish the sentence.

Mom?

Aren't you too old to be calling
me mom? It's disgraceful.

Wake everyone up.
Tell them to eat breakfast.

What are you waiting for?

We have to start early tomorrow.

Yes.

Are you going somewhere tomorrow?

Yes, to the cattle market.

It'll be open for the first
time in almost two months.

Do you want to come along?

Can I?

Eun-young, can you look after
Seol and Mrs. Kim? Is that all right?

Thank you for the meal.

Mrs. Kim, thank you for the meal.

- What are you making?
- Sweet rice drink.

Oh, so this is how you make it.

It's important to watch it and wait it out.

Is that your mommy?

I don't know.

I can tell by the face.

You have the same eyes.

I don't know.

I'm gonna live with Nana.

Nana has to live with Papi.

How silly…

Feeling sentimental about
a product I have to sell.

Let's go.

Let's go.

This one? Here you go.

- Give me that for a second.
- No.

- Give it to me.
- No

Min-woo, what's wrong?

I'm sorry.

Seol! Why did you do that?

Why did you take what's not yours?

Get up. Come with me.

Stop it. Leave her alone.

Stay out of it. She
needs to learn a lesson.

- She's a child.
- Get up. Come with me.

Don't you do that to my daughter!

She's not your daughter.

I said don't.

You have no right to do this.

Did you say 'right'?

And you have the right to?

She calls you, a guy,
mommy for crying out loud.

She calls one of you mom,
and another dad. Is that normal?

What's wrong with that?

Jin-woo.

Let's not make a scene.

Jin-woo! Hey…

I knew there was something going on.

It's not normal.

We shouldn't judge them.

Do you think it makes
sense? It's ridiculous.

You know what
they say in church?

Between a man and a man…

We shouldn't be too quick to judge.

- It just doesn't make sense.
- When I saw them at the farm…

Far was a synonym for expensive

We would be gone

As far as we could afford

But we couldn't dare
afford to imagine a farther place

Because the precipice
was precipitating every day

We had to go before it vanished

The farther place was dissolving every day

Boulders fell, dirt crumbled away

Plants which their roots
had bulged out of the dirt

Plopped into the sea one by one

The sound of something vanishing day by day

Would be swallowed
by the sound of the waves

Thus would never be heard

As we imagined the farther
place, we grew uneasy

Whether we were getting it
right, that we would not know

How hard we tried, we would not know

Whether we would be right
or wrong about our imagination

We would only get close to the lie

While we were imagining the farther place,

he place near us was tripping every day

The place near us was
way off our imagination

We would tumble over a rock,
lose our soil, doubt our roots

To endure was to fall

The sound of the fall was too
small that it would be unheard

Still, we imagined of the farther place

While we stood in a place near us

Only that could keep us
from falling off the precipice

Seol, don't run.

How are you, Ms. Jang?

Seol, come on.

They're letting me go anyway.

They're laying you off?

Yeah, basically.

It's okay. I'm used to this.

I'm sorry.

About what?

About everything.

Don't pity me.

Are you insulting the
greatest bum that ever existed?

Seol. Stay where I can see you.

Don't go in the waters.

Okay!

Yummy. Go on.

These little ones, they eat a lot.

No. No more.

If I do this, they keep following me.

See?

All right. Okay.

Just a little more.

Don't they scare you, Seol?

They don't.

Lady. You try.

Come on.

Play time. Yeah!

Is it yummy? Good girl.

Do I give them this?

- Yes.
- Like this?

Oh dear!

Oh, no. Seol.

Seol!

Seol, when did you get here?

We were supposed to
go to bathhouse together.

Oh, I was going to take a walk
and she wanted to come along.

Oh, I see. Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Are you going to
the bathhouse now?

No. Maybe some other time. It's late.

Seol, let's have a bath at
home today. Later in the evening.

Okay! Don't start without me.

Did you finish feeding the sheep?

Seol, can you take this for me?

Shall we go somewhere
that's far away from here?

Far? Where?

I don't know. Anywhere.

We'll go somewhere that's far away.

Maybe we can go to a
farm in another country.

We'll work together.

When we save up some money,
we can get a farm of our own.

On the front, we can open up a B&B.

You can start painting again.

Is Mr. Kim home?

No, he went to Chuncheon.
He won't be back until tonight.

All right. Take care.

Yes, goodbye sir.

Are you going?

Yeah.

- Take care.
- Thanks

They're so mean.

Thank you.

Don't say that. You're
making me feel more awkward.

I thought...

You disliked me.

Huh?

It was obvious that I liked you

But you didn't seem to notice

So I wondered if you were pretending
to not notice or even disliked me.

I'm sorry.

Nah

I'm glad I let it out.

Ah, it's rejuvenating.

What?

Are you trying to sound likea granny?

Mom said this is what you have
to say when you're in the hot tub.

Rejuvenating...

- Now it's your turn to soap up.
- Sure.

- Is it rejuvenating?
- Yes.

It's rejuvenating.

I'll rub some more.

Moon-kyung, why are you crying?

Huh? I'm not crying.

I'm heading back to Seoul tomorrow.

I'm sorry about the other night.

I know

Then the fox appeared and said,

"Like my flowers, you
are one of many children."

But if you become friends with me,

"you become a special child to me."

The little prince realized
that the flowers he left

behind in the stars were very special.

Seol.

Yes?

One sees clearly only with the heart.

Anything essential
is invisible to the eyes.

Do you hate me, too?

No.

The little prince kept the
fox's words in his heart.

The little prince...

The little prince started walking with me

looking for water to drink.

We spent days and days in the hot desert.

What is it, Seol?

Toilet.

Huh? Let's go to the toilet.

Seol.

I'm not done.

- It's okay. Take your time.
- Okay.

I'm not going anywhere.

Are you mad at those people?

No.

I can understand.

But…

You're a little too edgy right now.

I'm not.

- You don't have to be so hostile.
So much as to… - As to what?

You know. You get too
worked up. Just like now!

I thought it would be different here.

It's all the same everywhere.

Let's try not to be too demanding.

Demanding?

I'm being demanding?

I'm being demanding? Huh?

- Am I?
- It's all about what you want.

The insecurity and the betrayal
you feel around those people,

the fact that you don't
want to send Seol away…

Do you know how hard
I've been trying to fit in here?

What do you know about that? Huh?

Do you have any idea what
I went through to raise Seol?

Don't talk to me like that. Why
do you think I wouldn't know?

Everything went wrong since you came.

What?

I was never comfortable...

When you were around wondering
what those people might think of us

And you're the one who
told my sister where I was.

Hey, that's…

Don't tell me you didn't.

You were the only one who knew.

Did you think I was totally clueless?

Wouldn't it be…

Wouldn't it be weirder
if I hadn't told her?

You ruined everything.

Do you mean that?

Hyun-min.

Hyun-min.

Hyun-min.

Hyun-min.

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Did you contact them?

They're searching for her right now.
But it sounds like it's a small team.

Yes. They've also contacted
the military force for help.

No, it's not good.

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Seol!

Wake up.

Let's go home.

Seol...

Seol...

Mommy.

Did you fall asleep?

Where's Nana?

Nana?

Where is she?

She went to see Grandpa.

I'm cold.

Let's go home.

Seol.

Yes, mommy.

Shall we make a promise?

What promise?

That you won't call me mommy anymore.

Why?

Soon you'll go to school…

Make friends and…

And?

Huh?

Do I have to call you daddy?

I'm sorry.

About what?

Seol is like my baby daughter to me.

Thank god you found her.

Sooner or later, I was
going to tell you everything.

I kind of assumed.

I could tell by the eyes.

I've been reading the eyes of
animals for god knows how long.

You don't have to know everything
about something to understand it.

Thank you for everything.

Are you leaving?

I think I should.

I don't think they like me very much here.

Where to?

I'm not sure.

I can go back to Seoul.

I thought you came all the way down
from Seoul so you can get away from people.

You wouldn't find
anywhere with less people.

I don't want to be a burden.

I was forty when I first set foot here.

I raised my daughter on
my own, sent her to college…

She always wanted to get away from here

But doesn't look like that's
going to happen anytime soon.

Have you never thought of leaving here?

After all these years,

I've nowhere else to go.

Unless the country gets unified

and I can take my mother to…

But that's no longer an option.

If I could…

I would like to see Seol grow up here.

Are you leaving to be with him?

We're all set.

Seol!

Push!

It's coming.
