You must expiate.
Gosh, get a grip on yourself.
Anyway, why didn't you come by for coffee today?
Did you wait for me?
I did.
What did you have for lunch?
The sausage Jeom Soon gave me...
and a rice ball with burdock.
She never forgets her sausages.
So what did you have for lunch?
I had spicy chicken noodles.
What kind of chicken is that? I only know of sumac chicken.
It's awfully spicy. We'll have it some other time.
That's nice.
The lotus flower...
blossomed.
So I've heard.
It's pretty.
Ms. Seon.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
What do you carry your phone for?
You carry it to check time?
Then just give it back to Geum.
I'll buy you a watch.
Why is he...
both angry and talking about buying her a watch?
Fairy Seon, what are you up to?
You...
What brought you all here?
We heard a rude weasel yell at this hour...
and came to see what was going on.
A weasel?
I wasn't yelling.
The worst things a man can do...
are to yell, browbeat, and mistreat his own wife.
What are you talking about?
Right, she isn't his wife.
- Stay out of it. - This is enough.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry for causing a scene.
You're sorry? It's all your fault?
Then where are we supposed to sleep?
We went through hard knocks to come here, but the weasel isn't...
I mean, your husband won't let us sleep?
- Geum, you... - Well, that's...
It was wrong of us to come without your permission in the first place.
We'll find a way to sleep at mine.
It'll be too crammed.
I'll let them sleep over at ours, so don't worry and go home.
No, I'll take them with me.
He says he's okay.
They are like family to you.
Don't worry.
Sharing a house is no big deal.
Thank you for your kindness.
You must be exhausted. Take a good rest tonight.
I'll find a way tomorrow for certain.
Mr. Geum.
Thank you.
You're going back alone?
Geum, you should help them in.
- I forgot the passcode. - Hey.
Soundless feeling, deep night
What exactly is a soundless feeling?
For more than 20 years, there is no spark in my life...
except when I grill squid and seaweed.
Gosh, it's hot.
Is it Geum?
Mother.
- We have guests. - Gosh.
We're finally in.
I'm sorry for yelling a while ago.
I'm usually not the type who yells at ladies.
I know that.
By the way, did something happen?
About your husband,
what was his occupation again?
Was he a woodcutter?
Right.
How did he pass away?
He fell to death.
He tripped down at an unfamiliar place.
Was it at the end of a cliff on a snowy day in winter?
How did you know?
Can you tell me more about what happened?
Well...
I keep seeing things these days.
A deer showed up a while ago.
Be careful of your husband.
Then I lost my consciousness.
And I saw from the end of a cliff,
a man fallen on the ground on a snowy day.
I'm sorry.
You must not want to hear it.
I think you're slowly regaining your memories.
I wonder...
if that man was me.
Don't you remember anything else?
I'm sorry for everything today.
No, I should be the one to be sorry.
Goodnight, then.
Get home and sleep well.
Look.
How about we go to the place tomorrow?
Mount Gyeryong. It might help me remember something.
I'm seriously not fond of Fairy Seon's husband.
Why?
You know about my easy-going personality.
But that weasel keeps getting on my nerves.
I kind of felt sorry for him.
There's nothing to feel sorry about.
His skin is fair and smooth like a rich kid.
He's well-fed from head to toe.
Looking good on the outside is no use.
His eyes are full of loneliness.
Since when did you catch loneliness in someone's eyes?
You can't even read.
Why would you bring that up here?
Learning how to read isn't difficult.
What's difficult is to read people's mind.
Even children can read.
So you two are allies now?
Wait and see.
I'm sure Fairy Seon's husband will cause trouble soon.
They're asleep already.
Why are they sleeping on the floor?
My bed's in the room.
He's caring enough.
He was going to offer us his bed too.
You don't know if he meant it or not.
You shouldn't doubt others.
You think we're immortals because we know a lot?
We're immortals because we always look on the bright side.
I can't believe this.
You think you're all that, and I'm not?
What's wrong with him?
The lotus flower blossomed.
So I've heard.
It's beautiful.
Why am I being so silly?
Are you not done yet?
I haven't gone since our boat trip.
What? You're letting all that go now?
Don't you care if I let it all go now or not.
- Watch your etiquette. - My etiquette?
If you're constipated, go last. What if you block the pipes?
Did you just cut in line?
Cut in line?
That woman's been in there for over 30 minutes,
so I went upstairs for a moment.
How is that cutting in line?
I even left my mark here.
How does this replace a person?
This can't grow chili peppers...
or drive a tractor.
If this were a person, a kid who wanted to skip class...
could put this on his chair instead.
Did I say this replaces a person?
It's just a sign that someone was waiting ahead in line.
Is it?
I left that hanging on the door first.
You're a stranger who just came in late last night,
so how dare you try to lecture me?
Forget it. I can't hold my poop in so I'll go first.
Hey. Why have you been speaking so impolitely to me anyway?
We're from the same hometown and you're much younger,
so that makes me your senior.
Does it really? How old are you?
Let me see.
My death age is about 800 or so because I stopped counting.
Your death age?
Are you saying I'm standing in front of a corpse?
What? I'm perfectly live and well.
"Death age" is a term you use when talking about dead people.
Then... My blooming age is about 800.
Get out of the way, you ignorant fool.
What human being is so frightfully ignorant?
"Blooming age" means 20 and it's reserved for women.
What? Is that true?
Don't you dare go around telling people...
you're from my hometown because it's a disgrace.
Isn't it too early for this much noise?
It must be nice to be so smart.
But I'm sorry. Ignorant me gets to go and poop first.
That is life.
What have you been eating?
Do you call yourself a fairy?
How come we never met until last night...
when we all live in the same tiny village?
Is it because we live in the mountain?
Don't you know the Fairy Cafe?
I had no idea there's a cafe in the mountain.
Or that such a well-built man lived there.
I might not come home tonight.
Don't you worry. You can stay another night.
Are you going somewhere? What about your lectures?
I only have a morning class.
I'm going somewhere with Ok Nam later.
Why can't you come home then?
We're going far away.
- I'll come too. - Hey.
Why do you want to get involved?
Then I'll ask Ms. Fairy and then decide.
Did he just say "fairy"?
You don't need to ask her. I'll make the decision for you.
Do not come with us.
- Thanks for breakfast. - Sure.
I have to leave first.
I'll come too.
You're crazy.
He's not exactly crazy,
but Geum, what are you doing?
Mom, look after the guests for us.
Okay.
Who's this Ok Nam and what's this fairy?
Why are you being so childish?
Why are you being so unfair?
I'm being unfair?
Yes, you're pants.
How dare you call your professor pants?
I like Ms. Fairy too.
I know that!
How could you think of taking her far away to spend the night?
Who said we'll spend the night?
We're going to Mount Gyeryong and might come back late.
Why would you go there when everyone's here?
To check something.
What's that?
You don't know and you don't need to know.
You can't go without me.
Seriously?
Get in the car.
I'm going to leave as soon as my lecture's over.
You don't have your phone.
I have no intention of making sure you're on time,
so if you want in, find me.
If you're not there when I leave, I'm leaving without you.
Don't worry.
Why won't you get in? Shall I drive?
No. I'll drive.
Where did the guardian deity go?
She will be so disappointed if I'm away again today.
Why? Why is this?
Darn all this.
What? Did I lose my castle too?
Have I lost my touch?
Is it time already?
Brother! Is that so?
Of course that is so.
Why? Why is that so?
There's a proverb that goes "think long, think wrong".
There is a certain window of time for everything that's meant to be.
Once that window closes,
you can't take it back or start over.
Okay, fine.
You lecture too much when we play Alkkagi.
Stop it.
I told you to behave like a gentlewoman.
Darn it. I'm done. I won't play.
- Come on now. - What?
So,
once you leave this time, when will you return?
I'll return as soon as I find those kids.
You're the one who banished them from the fairy realm.
They aren't truly banished until I give up on them.
Out of the 7 stars, 3 left the fairy realm.
With them gone,
my powers weaken every day.
I wanted to end war and hatred,
but the world is only becoming more confusing.
Oh, dear.
Why can't I do something this easy?
I'm leaving.
I was saying something important.
Master of the Southern Star, you might end up getting addicted.
These games. You shouldn't play so much.
- Darn it. - Brother.
- Brother. - No thanks.
Brother.
Let's play something else then. Another game.
Without my older brother,
the human realm is in utter confusion.
I should stop this nonsense...
and return to the fairy realm with my brother.
The water temperature is important.
Do not pour hot water that's just been boiled.
Here. Try it.
So you're saying that you might stay out tonight.
I don't know that yet.
Jeom Soon, instead of pouring a lot of the water,
try drizzling down small amounts.
Try again.
So when exactly will you be back today?
Are you even going to be back?
Why do you keep asking?
Do you have plans?
Of course not!
You just wasted a good batch of coffee!
This isn't something I'm good at.
I just have to be here until Ms. Cho comes, right?
You will wipe and clean the rest of the mess.
Apologize to the guests for any inconvenience until Ms. Cho arrives.
If they still want a cup though,
make one with all your heart even if it's not your specialty.
Fine.
Mom, there's more of a chance that you'd stay out tonight, right?
Jeom Soon, I understand your desire to have fun,
but return home early and end your day like we always do.
I'm leaving to retrieve your father's memories...
and I don't want to spend that time worrying about you.
All right, fine. I hear you.
Don't you worry.
All right.
Done. I'm leaving now.
If anything comes up...
- Well, you can call me. - But you lent someone your cell.
Yes, but I'll be with her today.
- Who's she? - The barista.
You said you might not make it home today.
That's right.
- I'll get going then. - No, don't go.
If this is because Professor Lee dumped you,
I'll try talking to her.
No breakup is worth acting like this.
I always get turned down,
but I never dated the cafeteria girl...
or crossed the line with the bar lady.
Gyeong Sik, this is fun and all, but I don't have the time.
I need to go.
I'll bring back walnut cookies.
Unbelievable!
Why can't he take the hint?
It's not like I wanted to party with him today.
Also, he's heading to Cheonan with Barista Granny.
He mentioned walnut cookies.
I knew Geum was a lunatic, but he's also a clueless one.
Next class, you'll be quizzed on Hardy–Weinberg's principle...
and the basics on population genetics.
That's all for today then.
Doesn't he usually let us ask questions?
Professor Jung seems different these days.
Ms. Seon!
(Kim Geum)
We didn't get a good look last night,
but this must be the cafe.
You're here.
Please wait while I bring you some coffee.
Ms. Seon.
Are you here already?
My class ended early.
Could we perhaps leave right away?
Oh, dear.
I'm afraid Jeom Soon isn't back from the toilet yet.
I'm sorry. I'll move the car!
Oh, no.
I can't leave the cafe unattended.
Why don't we manage things until Jeom Soon or Ms. Cho arrives?
Would you be okay?
For all these years, we've watched you make coffee.
I'm sure we're up for the task.
Don't worry and get going.
I don't know what you have planned,
but you'll pay if you touch a single strand of her hair.
A single strand?
You say that like I'm a predator.
Unbelievable.
We've got this, so go ahead already.
If I can't make it home early today,
please look after Jeom Soon for me.
Sure thing.
Professor. Professor Jung!
I think you're driving too fast.
Right.
Are you in some sort of hurry?
Well, not exactly, but...
I'm sorry.
Why don't we listen to some music?
What kind of music do you like?
You'll choke at that rate.
Is it tasty?
Yes. Thanks to the run, it tastes sickly sweet.
Sure, enjoy then.
Should I drive so that you can have some too?
I'm good.
Why hasn't he called since that day?
Don't tell me he went to the barista to drink Deer's Tears or whatever.
But I need to go.
Mom already allowed it.
Who exactly are you meeting?
I told Mom earlier.
She approved.
You've been beating around the bush...
and haven't given me a name yet.
Gosh.
What will you do with my friend's name anyway?
I need to know who to call when you're late.
All right, fine.
Gyeong Soon. Her name is Gyeong Soon.
Gyeong Soon? What a pretty name.
What about her phone number?
- I wrote it over there. - Here?
I'll see you then!
Do you know Mr. Geum's house? If you're going to be late,
you'll have to come there.
All our belongings are still there.
Gosh. Why is she wearing something that barely covers her?
Fairy Seon must be going through so much...
to raise that troublemaker alone without her husband.
I hope everything works out and they live altogether.
Goodness.
Welcome.
You knew how to change figures too?
What are you talking about?
Are you here for coffee?
Who are you?
Who are you to ask me who I am?
You don't know who I am?
So you aren't Ms. Seon.
Where is she?
She went somewhere far away.
Are you going to order coffee or not?
Far away?
You know whom she went with?
Just give me any coffee.
Are you a cop?
You're being too inquisitive. This is suspicious.
I won't take your order.
If you're going to ask me questions, just leave.
That's not it.
I'm her friend.
She's not here today, so I'm curious where she went.
Are you curious where she went or whom she went with?
The former one.
All right, where did she go with whom?
Since you're her friend, I'll answer you this time only.
Stop disturbing my business after this, all right?
She went somewhere far away with her husband.
Her husband?
I think we're circling around the same place.
Am I the only one who thinks that way?
The GPS system stopped showing us the direction too.
So it started again.
Turn on the GPS application in your phone.
Wait, you don't have it with you.
Ms. Seon, can you take out the phone?
I think I forgot to bring it.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. We were lost around this place the other day too.
Oh, when we went to the Fairy Falls in Chuseok.
I see.
But this place isn't the Fairy Falls.
What should we do?
Let's pull over first.
Ms. Seon. Do you recognize here?
I'm not sure.
Let's try taking the path there.
Didn't you get lost in campus last week too?
Those flowers look familiar.
Let's follow that path.
We might end up somewhere like the last time.
There's another path.
What kind of place is this?
How fascinating.
Where did you go instead of coming straight back from the bathhouse?
You think I don't know?
Why do you ask then?
You're banned from the bathhouse now.
Don't even set foot in the mortal realm.
Are you telling me not to wash?
Will you take responsibility if I stink?
Just wash up here.
Don't go down and try to take revenge...
out of hatred against mortal beings.
This is my last warning.
If you get caught again, I won't let it slide.
Why are you smiling?
I'm telling you off now.
They are the flowers of the fairy realm.
Have we entered the fairy realm?
No, we haven't,
but these surely are from the fairy realm.
Goodness.
I wonder why they bloomed here.
Wait, it looks familiar to me too.
I'm sorry. I was just being playful.
I'm okay. Leave it be.
It came naturally.
Did you just throw it to him?
Sorry.
I meant to skip the rock for fun, but didn't know it'd head there.
There's no lake to skip a rock here.
It was so beautiful that I got mistaken.
What's that rock in your hand?
Don't tell me you'll skip a rock with that too.
Oh, this?
I'm going to carry it just in case...
I want to skip a rock again.
Let's try going somewhere else too.
I think we're at a dead end.
We better turn around.
I see.
That seems like a path. Don't you think so?
I guess so.
Let's try going there while we're at it.
Why aren't you picking up?
What are you up to? Please take it.
When I first met him at the waterfall,
I didn't have a single thread on my body. Completely naked.
Darn.
The phone is turned off. The call is being forwarded to the voicemail...
Oh my goodness.
Shoot.
- Hello, professor. - Hello.
Where is Geum?
He had a business to attend.
Where? With whom?
Somewhere further away than Cheonan.
He went with Professor Jung?
Professor Jung? No.
With someone older than him.
What? Who is that?
Goodness. Where did the two go?
Far away where?
Goodness, why isn't he picking up his phone?
Bye.
Didn't she dump Geum?
What's gotten into her?
It's so hard to understand what women think.
Whatever the case is, don't try to know anything.
You blabbermouth.
It's good to be in campus.
Did you go somewhere nice?
What, somewhere nice?
Right, I did.
Somewhere nice, my foot.
He was busy chasing tail all day long.
Shame on you.
You could be reported to the police for it.
I didn't do anything wrong.
It's a crime to chase tail with those looks of yours.
What a piece of advice to hear from a criminal.
When will you give up on me?
Please stop your crush on me already.
Hello, Ms. Cho.
Where is Fairy Seon?
Professor Jung asked her...
to help him retrieve his memory in Mount Gyeryong.
I see. What about Jeom Soon?
She's not back yet.
I'll close the store. Go rest.
Your face turned haggard overnight.
Did you go to a realtor and try to sell your invisible houses?
How dare you little...
I'd love to reveal my level, class and power,
but I won't as it's not the time.
Lev... Cla... Po... What does all that mean?
Just get out of here! Okay?
Let's go.
We'll get going then.
Is she originally some animal?
No. She said she's pretty high up.
No way.
Her temper's almost on the same level as Jeom Soon's.
It's getting dark, so why is Jeom Soon still out...
in just a pair of panties?
Her mom's not home yet either.
I wonder too.
Jeong Soo, that's dangerous.
I'll come after you all tonight!
Are you sure you can stay out?
You bet I can! Drive faster!
Professor. We might get lost if we keep going like this.
What's the time?
My phone's dead.
I didn't bring a watch.
It's definitely the hour of the dog.
How do you know that?
Professor, let's call it a day.
It's cold and we're hungry.
Wait.
Over there.
I see something.
Let's check.
You're here.
Did you want to know the truth?
You know who I am.
I am...
Who are you?
You.
Don't come closer.
Professor.
Professor!
Am I dead?
I can't die yet.
I must go back.
I can't move.
Please.
What are you doing? Climb up.
Professor.
Where am I?
Are you okay?
Were you crying?
No one cried.
Get up here. You're acting like you fell off a cliff.
What's wrong?
I sprained my ankle.
Are you okay?
I think I can get up there somehow.
It's a snake.
It's gone.
The snake.
Professor.
It's true that you fear anything that moves other than parasites.
I think I should carry you.
Be careful.
Watch where you go.
Wait, wait.
- Over there. - Okay.
- Slowly. - Be careful.
Why did we come here in suits?
And dress shoes?
I think I can walk after a short break.
That should help.
The ground's cold. Is there something to sit on?
It's already dirty. It's okay to sit on.
- I'm fine. - Sit comfortably.
Thank you.
I feel left out.
Are you crazy?
You know how much I hate physical contact.
It's best to keep your ankle higher than your heart,
but this is the best for now.
Do you mind, Mr. Geum?
- I like physical contact. - That hurts.
You have to keep it up.
- It hurts. - No.
- It's not bad. - No.
This street was unfamiliar yesterday,
but it's the second time and it feels like home.
If I may say so now, it felt like home even yesterday.
What?
I don't know why, but I feel so relaxed in Seoul.
It's like I finally found an outfit that fits.
It's really true.
Aren't you saying that because there's someone...
cooking and waiting for you?
Who's cooking and waiting for you?
My gosh. It must be them.
You're the other professor.
Why are you here so out of the blue?
Sorry. I couldn't reach Professor Jung.
Professor Jung?
He left with Geum and said he won't be back tonight.
My gosh.
Geum tagged along as well?
Yes. Are you alright?
I'm fine.
I'm really sorry.
Professor Jung's out...
and I plan to be very busy tonight.
Okay. I'll go then.
Thank you.
Is that Geum?
I said I saw the cup move.
If you're that smart, why didn't you guess correctly?
What's the suspicious woman doing here?
- No, don't. - Does it hurt too much?
It hurts.
It's swollen.
Oh, dear.
I think it's best if I carry him down.
It's darker now and the path is rugged.
It'll be too difficult to carry him.
If we stay, we'll get hypothermia.
Also, you're hungry.
Professor, can I borrow your phone?
I'll charge it in the car and call for rescue.
I'll bring some food and blankets too.
Here.
You should go with him. I'll stay here and rest.
No, it's all right. I'll stay with you.
You should go with him.
I'd rather be alone.
A snake might appear again.
Please stop making fun of me.
Then let me stay by your side.
Mr. Geum, will you be all right on your own?
Sure, I won't be gone long.
Mr. Geum!
The path is rugged and bumpy.
Please watch your step.
My dear husband, the road is slippery due to the snow.
Please be careful.
That was Ms. Fairy's voice.
What was that?
Hold on. Have we met before?
I can understand you, so tell me.
That deer...
I know I've seen it before.
So let me get this straight.
You're telling me that the three of you are fairies too.
How many times must you ask us that?
For a smart professor, you sure have the worst memory.
She can't comprehend it, not memorize it.
Gosh.
We're here right in front of her, so what can't she comprehend?
Those who are smarter find it hard to believe things.
I'm like that too among the fairies.
If you think about it, Fairy Oh...
always ends up bragging about herself.
Just because we don't say otherwise,
she thinks she can keep telling us how she's smarter.
It's the truth though. Who here is smarter than I am?
Who remembered the lock combination?
I'm the smartest of us three,
so why do you keep denying it?
Is that so? Then try and answer this then.
What is the name of the king that established Joseon?
It's Taejo something.
What's his name?
I know. Yi Seong...
Are you a fairy?
I'm going to answer your question.
You don't have to because I know the answer.
A friend of mine contributed to the establishment of Joseon.
A contributor to the establishment of Joseon?
Then go ahead and answer the question.
You'll know if it's your friend.
Of course I know.
Jumong. It's Jumong!
That's right. It's Jumong.
When he broke out of the egg,
my friend helped and then cleaned up after him.
Is that why you say he's a contributor?
Yes, that's right.
How on earth can you be this constantly stupid?
How can it be Jumong when he lived centuries before Joseon?
The answer is Taejo Yi Seong Gye.
What? Really?
Then whose egg did my jerk of a friend break?
- Goodness. - Jung Yi Hyun.
Professor Jung!
You know, I really...
I love you like a mad woman!
Darn you.
Now we finally know. She's a mad woman.
Are you still cold?
What about you?
I'm fine. Actually, I keep giving off heat.
Maybe it's because of your ankle.
No, I don't think so.
Geum's running quite late.
He's always one to be on time.
Mr. Geum, will you be all right on your own?
Sure, I won't be gone long.
I'm worried that something might've happened to him.
It's not like you to have negative thoughts.
Would you mind staying here alone?
Why? Are you going after him?
He's running awfully late.
Something must've happened to him on his way down.
He could've encountered a wild beast...
or...
he could've rolled off a cliff.
I'm sure he didn't.
He didn't.
Everyone knows that Geum is directionally-challenged.
I'm sure he took wrong turns several times on his way down.
He probably charged his phone and got blankets half an hour ago.
While in a hurry to get back to us,
he would've forgot the coffee and boiled eggs.
He would've had to go back to the car.
We'll have to wait another 10 minutes.
How do you know that?
It's not just your tummy that tells the time well.
Geum and I are practically brothers anyway,
so we know each other.
We can feel each other even when we're apart.
I'm nervous.
All I have is this bad feeling.
It's because your husband left for work...
but never came back to you.
I understand. Even I'd feel the same way.
Traumas aren't easily erased.
I should normally ask for permission but...
Can we stay like this for a while?
You...
are radiating heat.
It's actually been quite uncomfortable,
but I'm grateful today.
What happened earlier though?
You fainted.
When?
When I saw a snake?
You mean when I sprained my ankle.
I don't know. I can't remember.
What got into me?
For some time now, memories of you flood back to me.
The more they do, the more I fear that you'll leave my side.
Did you lose your footing?
If only...
I had your winged dress.
What can I do...
to make you stay?
What must I do...
to not lose you?
You finally came to me and I...
I feel so uneasy.
(Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter)
If this is how I feel,
I can't just give up on Ms. Fairy.
- I... - I...
Did something heartbreaking keep you up all night?
Whenever we meet, I want to reassure him.
I want to be there for him so he's not alone.
I want to tell her.
I feel...
The little brat's practically wearing nothing.
Was Jeom Soon not here?
That woman over there. She was a deer last time.
(How did Yi Hyun and Geum become housemates?)
I left my tablet somewhere here.
What are you doing here?
I told you not to sleep here.
Do you live here?
- Well... - You said you found a place.
That you just had to pay the balance.
Did you lend someone the money?
Jang Goon who works in my lab?
- Well... - Did you...
pay for Jang Goon's father's surgery?
After his father had a stroke, Jang Goon gave up...
his postgraduate studies to send money home.
He could've died if he didn't get surgery this time.
Give me just two days.
I'll find a place by then.
Hey. Pack your things.
I'll do only the cleaning.
The cooking, laundry and everything else are your chores.
- Professor. - Zip it.
Come along before I change my mind.
Professor Jung. Thank you.
