(Episode 12)
(To Alkaid)
Again, like always, light shines from your hands.
As if it were to convey yearning, warm wind blows from...
the east to west.
For all the time I have had you in my eyes,
I have yet to say something.
And today, I write about my feelings for you.
Alkaid,
you may be the only woman in my life...
that I will cherish and love with all my heart.
However, even though you are within reach...
and my feelings for you are as clear as day,
I don't have the courage to approach you.
This one thing I promise though.
1,000 years may pass...
and mountains may come between us,
but...
I will...
(I will always love you.)
I will always love you.
Jeom Soon.
I'm...
so angry.
Why do I feel...
more connected to Ms. Fairy than Professor Jung?
Mr. Kim, are you crying?
Why do I feel...
like we are meant to be?
No matter how many times I'm reborn,
I'll only have eyes for her.
Why do I feel like she'd be the same way?
If this is how I feel,
I can't just give up on Ms. Fairy.
I should ask...
if her heart really beats for Professor Jung and not for me.
I should, right?
I'll tell her.
What?
I'll tell her everything.
I don't know why,
I don't know how I'm going to explain this,
but I'll tell her...
that she's supposed to be mine.
Jeom Soon, I'll see you around.
Are you really going?
Jeom Soon, thank you for telling me what happened.
I'll make sure that your heart is never in pain.
So, hang in there...
Mr. Kim!
I knew that'd happen.
Don't worry about me. I'll see you!
Mr. Kim,
I hope you don't end up being hurt as well.
We had lunch together.
Would it be weird to ask her to dinner too?
I want to though.
Is it still too much?
Darn, the fact that I'm overthinking this is weird.
Geum...
What's with that punk?
What's making him so busy all day long?
Goodness.
- Gosh, my legs. - Professor Jung.
- What's up? - Hello.
Well...
I'm here to tell you something.
What is it about?
Later.
I'll tell you later.
Ms. Seon.
- Can you spare me some time... - Ms. Fairy.
Why is it not me?
I was there at the waterfall too.
Hey, Geum.
Ms. Fairy. I...
There's something I want to tell you.
So...
I...
Well...
- About my heart... - Mr. Geum.
Can I go first?
(1 hour ago)
Ms. Cho.
Did she go somewhere?
I stopped by in my room to take something...
and Jeom Dol's egg shook and cracked like this.
I was already feeling uneasy about it having a crack.
What if something bad happens to him?
I'm so worried.
You have a lot of worries these days. That's not like you.
You just needed to keep it at room temperature.
Did you keep it in a fridge or something?
No.
But it has never had these many cracks before.
Don't worry too much.
You know which being is unexpectedly strict about time?
Newborn babies.
They sleep like a log,
but they always wake up exactly after two hours for food.
As you grow up, you start being forgetful about time,
so you make promises...
and get punished for not keeping those promises.
But little kids go back to their mothers...
after playing at one point even when they weren't called.
They have their time when they come to miss their parents.
It's the first reincarnation for Jeom Dol...
after his father passed away, right?
Maybe it's time he wants to see his father.
You better find his father soon.
You said he longed for his father so much.
He'll be so disappointed without his father...
when he cracks out of that egg.
Mother.
What will happen to Father?
Your father...
went back to how he was before birth.
Father.
I miss you.
Jeom Dol.
Are you going to hatch out now?
You're trying with all your might to break the egg,
but I was lost without being able to prepare for your birth.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Mr. Geum.
My selfishness confused your life.
I tried to put up with the fear...
of living in such unfamiliar place by relying on your kindness.
I was drawn by your good nature,
and opened my heart to you.
But I must find my husband.
That's the reason why I'm here.
That's also the biggest reason of my long life.
So don't be bothered by me,
and focus on your beautiful life.
Is your husband...
Professor Jung?
I believe so.
Geum.
(Ox-tail Soup Restaurant)
- Welcome. - Goodbye.
- Ox-tail soup? - It's his.
- How many? - Hello.
Goodbye.
Enjoy.
This is like a king's meal.
Yours is ox-tail soup.
Eat up. I heard you gave your eel lunch box to the others.
Jung Min told me.
It's delicious. Try some.
Can we have a bottle of soju and assorted suyuk?
(Sawoo Day)
I, Jung Yi Hyun, say...
that you shouldn't pour yourself a drink in front of me.
If you pour your own glass,
I'll have to live single forever...
for nothing, but sit in front of you.
Do you think...
I was just a nuisance to your fated relationship from the start?
"Fated relationship"?
I'm not sure.
That's not something I can be sure of.
As you know, I believe in what's certain.
How am I supposed to believe in ambiguous stuff?
I even doubt what's been proved.
That's my life's motto.
What about your feelings for Ms. Fairy?
Those feelings are nothing?
Geum.
You see,
I suffered from insomnia and nightmares all my life.
Naive people like you...
won't have any idea what that means.
When night comes,
I close my eyes to sleep.
Then...
I become a child...
locked up in the same place every day.
Somebody, please help.
- I get abandoned every day. - Help.
- I'm angry out of hatred every day. - Save me.
The same ghosts appear...
and curse me the same way all the time.
I just...
can't get used to it.
I am always scared.
Why?
Why is it happening? Why is it happening to me?
I wondered hundreds of times.
But...
I couldn't find the answer.
Then one day, Seon Ok Nam appeared before me.
With this huge flower in her hair.
Geum.
Do you think we were meant to be?
After Ok Nam appeared in my life,
I was able to sleep at night,
and for the first time I felt relaxed.
But...
I am yet to prove that...
Ok Nam and I...
are meant to be together.
I'm...
a really smart guy,
but I still feel uneasy because I haven't proven it.
Ms. Fairy...
chose you.
What's there to prove?
I...
have to prove it.
Or else she'll go looking for whom she's really meant to be with.
Hey. Why are you crying?
I need to go.
Just like that?
I need to see Ms. Fairy.
You're too drunk.
Let's have one more drink.
Hey, I'm out of breath. Stop running.
That jerk.
He's running on purpose because he knows my ankle's sore.
Darn it.
There.
What? What's over there?
That woman over there.
You're scaring me now.
Don't go crazy.
Wait for me.
That nuisance.
Ouch, that hurt.
Hey.
Will you stop doing this?
I know you.
I saw you.
What are you talking about?
What's wrong with you?
You're really scaring me.
That's it.
I saw you in the mountains.
I'm leaving. I'm really leaving.
You were a deer then.
Where are you going? Do you have a place to stay?
Hey, wait.
Geum. Will you get a hold of yourself?
I lost her because of you.
Hey. If you're drunk, just go home.
You're making a nuisance of yourself, okay?
Hey. Darn it.
I said you're scaring me.
Stop it or I'll hit you.
I remember now.
In Ms. Fairy's room.
It was you.
That woman.
She was... She was you.
I should've learned some of Ham Suk's curse words.
I can't think of anything other than son of a witch.
Wait, wait, wait.
My gosh, not so hard.
I see you went through a lot of trouble.
What's going on? Why did he have to drink so much?
I guess the news wasn't fake after all.
What?
Is something going on between you and my Geum?
No. Not at all.
I should go. Goodnight.
- Wait. - Ma'am.
Thanks for the packed lunch.
What's going on?
Is your husband...
Professor Jung?
I believe so.
But I must find my husband.
That's the reason why I'm here.
That's also the biggest reason of my long life.
Geum.
So don't be bothered by me,
and focus on your beautiful life.
Mom.
Are you awake?
Were you up all night?
You look like a panda.
I fell in love with embroidering and couldn't sleep.
Suddenly? Starting last night?
Yes.
Is this me?
Is it pretty?
What? Yes...
Isn't this the hat Mr. Kim gave me?
Is it?
Maybe it is. I guess.
Mom.
Did something happen between you and Mr. Kim?
No.
What's with this extremely quick answer?
Yesterday, Mr. Kim...
- No. - What?
I shouldn't be embroidering. I should get ready to open the cafe.
Why do I suddenly feel like I should be worried about Mr. Kim?
Geum.
Get up and have some porridge.
Do you have a fever?
My goodness.
Are you coming down with a cold?
It's all right. I'm just tired, that's all.
How about some porridge then?
I'll get you some medicine,
but you can't have it on an empty stomach.
I'm sorry, but I'll have some later.
Is there something going on?
That reminds me.
Did Professor Park call you?
Professor Park? Who's that?
Call back any calls you received from an unknown number.
He asked about you,
so I gave him your number.
Okay, all right.
You seem exhausted, so get some more sleep.
Sure.
It was you.
That woman.
She was... She was you.
What is it? It's bothering me.
That's it.
I saw you in the mountains.
- I'm really leaving. - You were a deer then.
"A deer"?
I am...
you.
Why is everything seemingly me?
- Professor Jung. - My gosh!
Hello.
Is something bothering you?
You just seemed worried, that's all.
Why are you asking that with a smile though?
Anyway,
do you know if Kim Geum's mother has a boyfriend?
What?
Your response tells me she doesn't.
I'm right, aren't I?
How would I know that...
Your hesitation suggests something.
- Is that man her boyfriend? - That man?
(Green Tea)
Hello, this is Park Jun Seong.
Yes, hello. This is Kim Geum's mother.
Why are you still standing here?
You know, that was quite a quick response.
If it's not being rude,
may I ask why you wanted to talk to me?
You drank my green tea the other day.
Oh, it's you.
Did you perhaps seek out my son regarding that matter?
Of course. He's right around the corner.
Do you have some free time today?
I suddenly have the urge to stop by the campus today.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Or else she'll go looking for whom she's really meant to be with.
Why do I keep hearing that voice?
Are you in some sort of pain?
Oh, you're here.
Professor, you don't look well. Are you all right?
Let me see.
How many times did I tell you that this has been going around?
Does he have a fever?
You could make pancakes on it.
His forehead is piping hot.
I'm fine though.
Really?
It's not right to hide...
the fact that you have a well-spreading virus.
We won't get sick since we're from the fairy realm,
but what about the mortal students here?
He said he's fine.
Is a professor higher than a teaching assistant?
No wonder you became a professor!
Geum called in sick today, didn't he?
However, you came to work even when you have such fever.
You sure are different.
Weren't you just scolding him for coming to work today?
Now you're praising him.
What's your point?
He says it's not an epidemic!
Besides, coming to school...
should be a priority for him!
You must be here for coffee.
Let's go.
You're here.
So are you two.
Fairy Seon, you have something under your eyes.
Is that soot I see?
He's right. Is that a bruise?
I stayed up all night embroidering.
Which coffee will you order?
I've heard of women poking at their thighs all night,
but I don't get why you would stay up all night doing embroidery.
Why on earth would you mention one's thighs?
What kept you up all night?
Was your heart aching so much that you couldn't sleep?
I see there's something I know more than a professor.
One doesn't poke her thighs all night...
because she can't sleep due to a broken heart.
I mean... How should I put this?
It's actually something different.
The idiom is "doksugongbang".
What gibberish is that?
We're talking about poking thighs,
so why would you mention an eagle?
Let's both shut up and just get our coffees.
And just like that you touch my lips again!
Why did you order Black Water today?
I've never had it before, so I'll try it today.
Black Water responds differently depending on the state you're in.
Many customers have found it alarming.
It's fine.
That's a relief.
It could still make you agitated, so be careful today.
I'm sorry about before.
I got all prickly even before I had Black Water.
It's all right.
I keep hearing a weird voice.
I'm sure my anxiety is causing me to hear voices.
Why would you be anxious?
It's because you seem to be low spirited.
Geum made it home safely last night.
I see. That's a relief.
So...
I know it's selfish of me to ask,
but could you not think about Geum?
My heart aches to...
see you this way.
I'm feeling a burning sensation.
I guess you named it Black Water for a reason.
Anyway, I'll get going.
I was here yesterday to say this.
Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
Is that all right?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Is there Mr. Kim...
I mean, Mr. Kim Geum here?
He's taking a day off because he's sick today. Who are you?
He's sick? How sick?
It's nothing serious, but a cold.
Who are you?
I'll tell him that you visited when he comes.
I'll tell him myself. Goodbye.
Why don't you wipe off that saliva on your face?
Geum is mysterious the more I get to know him.
He looks all naive and innocent,
but he's actually a playboy who doesn't care about age nor job.
Whether or not, why are you making a fuss again?
I'm so sorry, but you're on the third-rank now.
That cute miss...
just beat the cafeteria lady who was ranked 1st for the last 16 weeks.
I see.
Take me out of that survey of yours, or I'll kill you.
Mom is acting strange. Mr. Kim is sick too.
Isn't that Gyeong Sul?
[VIU Ver] tvN E12 'Mama Fairy & the Woodcutter' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Gyeong Sul. Um Gyeong Sul.
How scary. Why is she following me?
I better stop frequenting this place now.
This is way too shocking though.
What am I supposed to do with it?
(Mom)
It's not true, Mom.
I was busy studying.
About that weasel,
I think he's sensitive like Master Gu said.
You saw him too, right?
He yanked his own hair and talked to himself...
like a stage actor.
He went to see his wife despite his high fever.
I found it romantic.
Why do you keep calling him the weasel?
You shouldn't badmouth people behind their backs.
Why do you keep trying to lecture at me?
It's not like I owe you or anything.
Okay, I won't.
You don't even know what "doksugongbang" means.
Of course, I know what "doksu" means. It's an eagle.
I was almost eaten by one too.
Okay, I'm proud of you.
Here's what I think.
It's good that Fairy Seon longs for her husband and stuff,
but I'd like things to go well between her and Geum.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Watch what you're saying.
When they look at each other,
their eyes get teary, their lips twitch,
and their cheeks... How should I say?
Flinch?
Well, anyway.
It's obvious they like each other,
so why are you neglecting their feelings?
Just like how you look down on my intellect?
Keep silent.
She found her husband, so don't break the mood.
Come on. Nothing's been decided.
You just have to follow what your heart says.
No wonder why you got kicked out from the fairy realm.
- What? - Rumors say that you dated...
too many fairies in the fairy realm...
and the Master of the Northern Star punished you...
to live with that face all your life.
I've always looked like this.
I just needed to flick a few strings of geomungo...
to make fairies fall automatically for me.
It's their fault to fall for me,
not my fingers for playing the geomungo.
You think you're all that?
Why are you so good at arguing today?
Anyway, Geum isn't the one for Fairy Seon, end of discussion.
I mean, Jeom Soon is getting along with Geum better than the weasel.
He's taking much better care of us, Fairy Seon's family,
than the weasel too.
Enough!
Wait and see if I'm wrong.
My eyes are big for a reason.
I can see what others can't.
Why don't you learn how to read while you're at it?
Gosh, my eyes shrank all of a sudden.
She looks familiar.
Come see me whenever you want to talk about games.
I'm always nearby.
Darn.
Goodness, seriously.
My mom will be mad if I don't take that class.
Why is she there?
Is she studying for the college entrance exam too?
Welcome.
I know it's selfish of me to ask,
but could you not think about Geum?
My heart aches to...
see you this way.
Dear cellphone deity,
I have a question.
I keep...
thinking about someone else other than my dear husband.
How will you describe this feeling?
Is this a sincere feeling?
My goodness.
The deity gave me an answer.
(Don't miss your golden opportunity.)
"Golden opportunity"?
What does this mean?
Ok Nam.
There's a timing for everything.
You fail to live if you miss the timing.
You succeed to live if you get the timing.
You'll face...
a golden opportunity in your life too.
You'll know once it comes.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I don't, master.
I'm not sure about the best timing nor the golden opportunities.
I'm not sure of anything now.
Perhaps, I was mistaken from the beginning.
I don't have clear memories about my husband.
And my heart is wishing for something hopeless.
Was it my mistake to come here too?
Maybe I should've had Moonlight Elegance...
instead of Black Water.
Gosh, my head.
(Professor Lee)
Isn't it break time? What are you doing?
Nothing special.
Help me with my practice.
The triathlon is coming up soon.
I'm not in the mood for swimming.
Not swimming.
My ankle hasn't recovered enough to run either.
Besides, it's raining outside.
Not running either.
I have no bicycle. I can't help you.
I just need your hands. See me at the gym later.
What now?
What does she need my hand for?
Water.
Gimbap.
I can't swallow the rice every time I try.
But I need rice to stay energized.
Must you do this?
I can't break my record with low blood sugar.
To stay energized,
I need to eat what I can during the race.
That requires practice too. Or you'll throw up.
I'll try again. Give me the rice ball.
The one without seaweed. The seaweed chokes me.
Why do you play such a tough sport?
I don't know. I guess I want to test myself?
If I don't do anything,
I'll never find out what I can do in what situation.
Must you know that?
Aren't you curious about yourself?
I'm...
afraid to know myself.
That's stupid. Why?
- That's him. - Really?
Yes. Sister Bowon's son.
My gosh. The story's true?
You saw for yourself.
How could a nun have a child?
What will happen to him?
I can't believe it.
How did a nun have a child?
Will you not do as you're told?
I told you not to go outside.
Did I or didn't I?
You shouldn't have been born! Do you get that?
You shouldn't have been born.
It's obvious I'll be a mess inside.
Why do you think so?
You used to be so full of yourself.
You're not too bad of a person.
Okay. I wasn't going to say this in case you get too proud,
but the more I get to know you, the better I think you are.
You might be as great as I am.
- Do you want some? - No.
What do you know about me anyway?
I only care about myself...
and if someone does something to me, I must pay them back.
Did you know that?
People who were loved when they grew up? I hate their guts.
Did you know that?
Yi Hyun. Did you eat something weird?
What's wrong with you?
So what if you keep your sugar levels up...
and pass the finish line?
Do you think you'll be this cool, amazing person at the finish line?
You'll probably be as exhausted as you could be after trying so hard...
to be the best in everything, so people will applaud you.
Looking absolutely gross.
Hey.
If you want to end up like that, eat.
You won't be able to see that if your sugar levels drop.
I have to go. Train on your own now.
That scumbag...
Jerk.
I can't eat anymore.
Why are you so grumpy?
- Who are you? - Do you still not know that?
How disappointing.
I can't go crazy. I must atone for what I did.
Atonement? Not revenge?
You were abandoned and betrayed.
You never had anything for yourself...
and even now you're anxious over one person's love.
You poor thing.
No one loved you and...
Stop. Please, stop!
Your stupid temperament...
will be your demise yet again.
When all you have to do is get revenge.
Geum, do you have a flashlight?
After all that showing off, Fairy Oh...
dropped her hairpin down the drain.
Is he still in bed?
This isn't working out.
I was rooting for him, but he's way too lazy.
The professor's working in the rain.
I thought he was hard-working. Why is he sleeping so much?
He's not even sick.
Isn't this jelly?
Tasty snacks should be shared.
Why are you out in the rain?
You're all wet.
Is something wrong?
Can we...
stay like this for a while?
Look at me.
It's too hard.
I can't hold on.
In the end,
will you leave me too?
Talk to me. What happened?
Where should I start?
From where?
My birth itself was controversial.
But in addition to that,
I keep dreaming of being abandoned again.
Nibble on this if you get hungry.
The other kids won't guess for a moment that you're here.
Help me!
I want to get out of here. Help me, please!
Help me!
Izy from the Mizar, you defied the fairy realm...
and disobeyed the laws of the sky.
You are therefore banished from the fairy realm!
I thought that being with you would mean my atonement.
However, the more I grew closer to you,
a deer appeared telling me to expiate.
A woman appeared telling me to get revenge.
Those unknown memories are driving me insane.
The memories you've been recalling...
must be from your previous life.
You forgot them as you were reborn.
Take all that's been brimming...
and accept them instead of rejecting them.
You and I must go back.
However painful it is, you must remember.
Do you really not remember anything?
I'm in this state because of you.
You betrayed me.
Give back her winged dress.
Do you really want that?
Your wife will immediately leave and fly away.
She'll take her children too, one in each arm.
Can you survive being all alone?
Give it back.
Too much time has already passed.
If we wait any longer, the stars will lose their places.
The mortals will not believe in deities any more...
and the order of both realms will be destroyed.
We must go back.
What does that have to do with me?
Why must I endure this pain...
just so that others can be relieved from theirs?
I don't believe in such things.
You are a kind man.
No matter how harsh your words may seem,
I know who you are deep inside.
How...
Raindrops do not fall on her.
It's more like they dare not to.
I'm soaking wet from head to toe,
so how can this be?
(Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter)
Fairy Seon left.
Ms. Fairy!
Jeom Soon, I have something to tell you.
She said there was no reason for her to stay here.
Why do people always leave me?
What did I ever do to them?
I miss Ms. Seon.
She's most precious to me, so I want her by my side.
Bye, Mr. Kim.
Bye.
Stars must return to the sky.
Get back here. It's too dangerous!
(This is my green tea!)
(The ill-fated relationship between Geum's mother and Professor Park)
Come in.
Since you love green tea so much, have your fill.
Also, do not contact me nor my son over this matter ever again.
Look here. Who on earth...
Darn it. Get these out of here!
Clean them out yourself, mister.
Mister?
Why? Did you think that I was kissing up to you...
so you'd be nicer to my son?
Look here, lady.
Just think about it long and hard.
Did you actually press the button...
on the vending machine that day?
The green tea fell out before you did,
so how could it have been yours?
Look here, lady. Wait!
You'll regret it if you leave like this!
Hold on. Is this man bothering you?
If he yells at me or takes another step towards me,
I'll say that he is.
But...
I'm off!
Wait!
