(Episode 5)
Jeom Soon, how did you get in here?
Jeom Soon, what's wrong?
Ms. Fairy?
She's burning up.
To the right.
Mr. Kim!
I'm sorry. I get confused when I'm flustered.
Darn.
It's nicer than how it looks from the outside.
The room's spacious too.
Her fever isn't going down. What do we do?
Could she have the flu?
She has a stomachache.
A stomachache?
Immortals are given many supernatural powers,
but one must never use them to disrupt the land of humans...
or for their personal gain.
When used to fill one's greed,
when used to hurt mortals,
when one denies its existence,
or when one is not true to oneself,
the rules of the sky will punish you.
If you're done, I'd like to be excused.
You're dying in pain, aren't you?
You probably want to lie down.
Look at the sweat formed on your forehead.
I only desperately need to use the restroom.
Why do you have to be so stubborn?
Anyway, you have committed too many sins,
so be prepared to have your stomachache.
Immortals suffer from stomachaches when they disobey...
the rules of the sky.
She's probably in pain because she denied being a fairy earlier.
I see.
But Jeom Soon,
why are you speaking casually to me?
What?
Well, you see...
I don't know.
I can't seem to control myself today.
Is it because I ran at top speed just now?
Are you upset about it?
No, you can continue to do so.
I feel like we've grown closer.
There's a cure for this stomachache.
What is it? I'll get it for you.
I don't know if you could find any.
What are these peaches for?
Did Mizar disobey the rules again?
There were seven immortals serving the Master of the Northern Star.
Out of the seven, Bausae of Dubhe, Izy of Mizar,
and me, Seon Ok Nam of Alkaid,
reached the realm around the same time.
I'll be cured naturally soon, so why bother to come?
I know you're glad to see me.
Being sick all day makes you lonely.
Weren't you playing with those pebbles by yourself?
I heard you were up at 592 years in a game of five stones.
Don't be ridiculous. I am a fairy who doesn't get lonely.
Anyway, what happened this time?
There were those who didn't work but extorted his people instead,
so I burned down his storeroom.
What happened?
Did all the grains burn?
They'll only have vegetables to eat this winter.
That must be what I heard at bath with the other fairies.
According to a correspondent there,
the landowner was in rage after the fire...
and stole all the crops and grains from his people.
Your righteous act backfired and made it even worse.
Then I should burn all the grains the landowner stole.
There won't be enough peaches to cure you then.
It's just that...
peach is my favorite fruit.
How can I not react to injustice?
Why don't you believe in the power of humans?
Things may seem unfair at this moment,
but I believe that the humans have the power to correct it.
Gosh, that's hot.
Enjoy your peaches then.
Izy of Mizar had the power to control fire,
and the burning rage inside her caused many stomachaches.
I won't do this.
I quit being a fairy. I quit!
Wait, hold on. She's such a pain in my butt.
Take that!
Bausae of Dubhe was a fairy who had the power to control wind.
He was from the same kingdom as Mizar...
and joined the skies around the same time.
A day up in the skies was a year in the mortal realm.
After a number of full moons though,
they suddenly...
disappeared.
Mom, are you awake?
Considering the season, I wasn't able to get fresh peaches.
Anyway, Mr. Kim Geum bought this for you.
Was Mr. Kim here?
You won't believe what he did for you.
Jeom soon, I went to a 24-hour supermarket,
but it's not peach season.
What should we do?
You should've just bought some peach juice.
Juice? All right.
Please take good care of her.
What's he saying? She's my mom.
She must've been exhausted from nursing.
You'll be all right now, Ms. Fairy.
Jeom Soon, you sleep tight too.
I am indebted to him.
How do you feel?
I feel much better.
Mom, please don't be sick. I worried about you so much.
Okay.
Mom, and I...
If I tell her that I got a call from the publishing house,
it will make her worry.
You're still under training.
What if you go there, get worked up, and turn into a tiger?
They say there's a vacancy in Yiwon Zoo.
Do you wish to be sent there?
It's nothing.
I dreamed of my far-distant past.
How did I forget about those days?
Hello, Professor Jung.
I'm the butterfly-haired eelworm.
The butterfly-haired eelworm?
I didn't know you could talk.
Of course, I can. It's just that you couldn't hear me until now.
I see.
- I'm sorry. - It's fine.
Why don't we go take a walk?
Now you have arms.
It doesn't seem like you have feet.
Do you think you can go for a walk?
Of course. This is a dream.
In dreams,
I can even breakdance.
- Breakdancing. - Anyway, I'm dreaming again.
It's not bad of a dream.
I stopped having nightmares ever since I started drinking her coffee.
- Really? - Yes.
What... Why are you here in my dream?
Where did the eelworm go?
I think she went to another dream.
I had so many scientific facts to check from her.
Maybe I should've come a little late. I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
This must be audiovisual information created from my subconscious.
Don't tell me you actually came into my dream.
What do you think the case is then?
There are jade rings like this in the fairy realm.
It's one of the package goods...
which I received during the orientation for new fairies.
Going to bed with this ring on my finger...
lets me visit the dream of anyone I want.
But that could also be fake,
an illusion created by yourself.
Is it that important?
I have this feeling that I've known you since a long time ago.
You and I were tied together with a string of fate since long ago.
You were my moon and my star.
You were like welcome rain after a long draught.
You were like a lantern that brightens darkness.
And why can't I remember that?
Were we closely related to each other?
Were we friends? Perhaps, lovers?
We were...
a married couple.
I have...
loved you for a long time.
I love you, you love me
Is it yes or now?
Let's not tire our love out
By pushing and pulling like a tug-of-war
If you hug me first
I'll kiss you as if I'm forced
Professor Jung, good morning.
Good morning.
Have breakfast.
I made delicious mushroom sesame powder stew.
I feel bad to have you go through a lot since the morning for us.
It's not since the morning.
I trimmed vegetables and stuff since at dawn today.
Pardon?
Sorry for making you work since at dawn because of us.
I'm joking.
Why do you take every word I say seriously?
It's not fun, you know.
If it's not fun,
you can't draw girls' attention.
If you can't draw girls' attention,
you won't be able to get married.
You'll have to visit someone else's hometown every holiday...
and drink a bottle of single malt whisky bought by yourself.
You're so good at making jokes.
What are you talking about?
It was a joke a while ago, but I meant it this time.
By the way, where's Geum?
Geum came home at dawn.
He said he had to go nurse a friend of his...
who was sick with a high fever.
- He's asleep. - Who was sick?
Eat before it gets cold.
Thank you for the food.
- It looks very delicious. - Enjoy.
You got upset because you spilled the sesame powder the other day.
I guess you had extra of it.
Oh, my. What am I supposed to do?
What a waste. Goodness.
Yes.
By the way, professor,
I felt bad for you since the last Chuseok holiday,
so I thought hard on how to find you a woman.
And I found someone perfect for you.
Gosh, it's hot.
Will I give her the wrong idea, stopping by every day?
Well, it's only for coffee.
Gosh, it surprised me.
Please.
Welcome.
Long time no see, Professor Jung.
What would you like?
I'll have...
a Sparrow's Breakfast please.
A sparrow's breakfast?
Not an ibis' or a brown-eared bulbul's...
but a sparrow's breakfast?
What?
Yes.
I serve a crake's snack and an owl feast.
You don't want that?
A sparrow's breakfast, please.
Fine.
Looking for someone?
What? No.
Are you looking for Barista Seon Ok Nam?
Me? Why? I'm not looking.
Everyone else has been asking for her.
Ma'am, about Barista Seon.
How old is she?
- How dare you ask a woman's age? - Is she old?
You saw her yourself. Why ask?
She seems old but then she doesn't.
Mom, why don't you just rest?
I am helping the lotus bloom.
The lotus flower?
I saw many flowers in the fairy realm,
but none were as pure and innocent as the lotus.
It may live in the mud,
but it shines so nobly.
Don't you like it because it was on the incense pouch Dad gave you?
You're right. I forgot about that.
Your father showed me the beauty of a lotus flower.
He was caring and kind...
and found beauty and meaning...
in even the smallest of things.
Aren't you sick of bragging about him for 699 years?
I was not bragging. I was just telling a fact.
I'm sure you were.
My gosh.
Get out of here. It's too late for me.
Don't say that! Stop being stupid and pull your leg out!
Thanks for everything.
We had a tough time living among the humans...
Shut your mouth. Do you still have those beans?
The three magic adzuki beans you brought from the fairy realm!
You keep them in your pocket and fiddle with them all the time.
You said one of them...
could take us back up to the fairy realm!
I couldn't use them because I don't know what they are!
Just toss one!
Pick one and toss it!
- Or I'll do it! - Do it!
I'll really toss it!
(To return)
(Mokpo Station)
We're back. We're back in time.
Did the bean really save us?
It did. You really did something for once, Wizard Park.
Him, isn't that the man who stole our money?
- Thief! Catch him! - Stop the thief!
- Get him! - Thief!
Stop it.
You scumbag.
How dare you?
Stop!
Go, go, go!
Oh dear.
- Go. - You fool.
Oh dear.
That's...
This waterfall was closed 400 years ago.
I broke in one last time.
I'll stay here while you go back up...
and just do as I said.
Will I end up getting told off?
You know Master of the Southern Star has a temper.
I'm trying to get married here.
It's just this once.
Okay.
He's here. Someone's here.
Oh dear. He took my clothes.
Husband.
Husband!
Husband.
It took me 300 years to find him.
Stop...
right...
You jerk.
There!
"Husband"?
I can't stop thinking about it and it's so annoying.
The thing is, that woman, that fairy...
called me her husband.
Come in.
Hi.
What's the occasion?
You have a coffee.
I came by to ask you out for some.
- Do you want this? - Why would I want yours?
Try it.
You're giving me your leftovers?
I'll kill you.
How did we manage to drink that?
This is Cho Bong Dae's coffee.
Your taste buds never lie.
Where's Barista Granny?
She wasn't there today.
Did she ascend?
Hey.
She could ascend to go home if she's a fairy.
Is she a fairy or not?
Why would you ask me?
Whether or not she is is important to you.
Who else should I ask?
Why is that important?
Did you decide to accept your hallucination as reality?
What about the husband issue?
It sounds a bit too serious to just let slip.
Don't you need to know her intentions...
behind why she said that?
She said we were...
a married couple.
What? What's wrong?
What you just said made no sense at all.
Did that old woman say that to you?
That you two were married?
When?
It was... In my dream.
She appeared in my dream...
and it was so vivid.
I felt as if I was faced with a person I'd known for long.
If you're right and dreams mirror my subconscious,
then maybe she's lodged deep within my memory.
That's how vivid the dream was.
So I went to the coffee truck this morning.
She wasn't there.
Don't get me wrong here.
This isn't my office or consultation room,
so I'll speak as a friend, not as a psychiatrist.
She can't be your wife.
No matter how hard I think about it, I honestly don't know...
why that lady is deep in your subconscious,
but she can't be your woman.
They do say that dreams reflect your subconscious,
and it can be true.
However, so many dreams mean absolutely nothing,
so why do you think this one's different?
Instead of you knowing her for centuries,
she just intrigues you for some reason.
The Jung Yi Hyun I know would come to the conclusion...
that it's being portrayed in your dreams.
Now you're scaring me. Why are you so angry?
Who? Me?
I'm not angry at all.
I'm probably yelling because you keep speaking nonsense.
My gosh.
Darn this coffee.
I better get going.
You're weird today. Just so you know, it's not me...
but you who's being weird.
Whatever. Think whatever you want.
What's with her?
Stupid little...
He thinks she was his wife?
I made him function better with all those sleeping pills,
but now he's talking about his subconscious.
He doesn't even barely notice that my heart is burning,
but he's well aware of that old lady who calls herself a fairy.
Darn it!
Notice me for once, will you?
- Are you all right? - Are you okay?
- Where's Barista Granny? - She wasn't there today.
Did she ascend?
She could ascend to go home if she's a fairy.
Is that all she could say when she's a psychiatrist?
The sky isn't a subway station.
You can't come and go as you please.
Unbelievable.
[VIU Ver] tvN E05 'Mama Fairy & the Woodcutter' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Isn't this neglect of duty?
She should be at the shop by now.
(Supermarket)
- Thank you. - We lost him.
Those short legs of his sure are fast.
He ran off like the new tractor that village foreman bought.
I nearly died running after him.
Did you see where he went?
Why would we bother?
Just think that he went away and forget about him.
Exactly. If only Master Gu could fly.
He could discreetly transform into a pigeon...
and snatch the wallet from his hands with his beak.
If only he could do that.
I nearly experienced death with you just now,
but you're still back at it.
I'm sorry. My mouth is just foul, that's all.
It is, isn't it?
Anyway, I'm getting slightly hungry.
What do you say we work at that restaurant again?
We're less afraid of octopuses now.
- Let's eat and then... - It's him.
No, it isn't.
Don't let the square jaw and muscles fool you.
It was a woman.
Don't you remember the restaurant's name?
At first, I thought she was a man but...
I'm talking about the thief.
He's the woodcutter that stole my winged dress.
What?
Are you saying that he was reincarnated?
It's about time I found my winged dress too.
Did Professor Jung have breakfast today?
He must like the food since he ate two bowls.
He's not one to have a large appetite.
Like I said, your cooking is that good.
My son sure is sweet with his words.
He also speaks in perfect Seoul dialect.
Yours is great too.
Is that so? Really?
The owner of the grocery store actually thinks that I'm from Seoul.
It must be because I'm fashionable.
I guess that makes others think I'm from Seoul.
Do you remember the deacon's in-law?
- What about her? - I showed your professor her photo,
but he suddenly fell silent.
Wasn't he impressed? You said she was pretty though.
It's why I don't understand.
I'm not one to meddle in others' lives but still.
Anyway, I find it suspicious that no one has ever...
shown interest in him.
It doesn't matter if you studied your butt off in school or not.
Men should instinctively respond to young women.
I find it suspicious because your professor...
spends most of his time with insects.
He's very popular.
Really?
Is it because he's tall and fit?
What about you?
Is anyone interested in you?
There's no need to worry about me.
Of course.
Why would I worry about my son anyway?
I approve any woman that says she likes you.
How I feel about her should matter too.
Exactly.
If you two are in love, I won't object to whoever she is.
The number increased with those in new habitats?
Yes, and the temperature and food were controlled.
Should I separate them?
I guess we should.
Bring me the samples for Group A.
The ones in the incubator.
Yes, Professor.
I have loved you for a long time.
- Now I can't focus. - Should I get you some coffee?
The other day,
Gyeong Sik's focus was boosted thanks to Black Water.
Black Water?
From the coffee truck by the library?
The barista was absent this morning. Maybe she finally showed up.
I have no idea.
Professor Jung.
Do you have space in the culture room?
Professor Park is occupying his with his students.
Hello, Professor.
Hi, Jung Min.
You're beautiful as always.
Will you still not let me in on the secret?
This is why I keep wanting to come here.
Seriously? I see your temper subsided.
Mind your own business.
I see you're observing your first love.
Is love still in the air?
Stop it already.
Hey, wait!
Husband...
Professor Jung.
How did you get in here?
How did you know I was here?
Actually, I'm looking for Mr. Kim.
Really?
Well, he's in that lab.
Are you kidding me?
Ms. Fairy, what brings you by?
Shouldn't you rest more?
I'm all right now.
I put you through a lot of trouble yesterday.
That's absurd. Please don't say that.
Anyway, here you go.
I have a talent that isn't worth much...
and that's blossoming flowers.
For you, I raised a lotus flower.
It's still only a bud,
but if you water it and talk sweetly to it,
it'll blossom quite soon.
Thank you, Ms. Fairy.
Professor, I brought the samples from the incubator.
- Professor. - What?
What did you say?
I brought you the samples.
Oh, right.
Professor Jung, I'll get going then.
Sure, I'll contact the culture room for you.
What's that?
What's wrong with you?
Professor Jung, I think...
I have grown fond of Ms. Fairy.
When I was little, I used to hear that I was slower than others.
I was a slow-talker, and I couldn't read books either.
I often talked to myself,
so my classmates always teased me for it.
I'm sorry.
Bong Pal.
Yong Rye.
Alex.
I don't think I can...
hang out with you guys anymore.
My friends told me that they'd report me to a mental hospital.
Then I'll have to be locked up in there for the rest of my life.
Instead, I'll study hard...
and come for you...
when I become an adult.
Master Geum.
You're a noble man.
Please don't forget...
that a lotus flower blooms beautifully...
no matter how muddy the water is.
I was too young to understand it then,
but as I grew up, I eventually came to understand what he meant.
You're a very special being.
It may be faint, but your honest and good nature shines through...
the worldly fog surrounding you.
And whenever I was struggling, the words were of great help to me.
The woman who brewed me this coffee...
looks like an old granny, a young woman, and a fairy.
- Her appearance keeps changing. - You saw an apparition?
It should be an apparition.
You think it wasn't.
It makes no sense.
This is crazy. There's no way.
I must have seen an apparition too.
Is it a baby or an infant?
Why would you cherish it so much?
Silly punk.
My mom talked about the young lady from the deacon's in-laws today.
- Are you going to see her? - Hey.
If you and your mother...
keep scheming to marry me off,
I'll just live with you forever.
That's a bit too...
So be careful.
You little...
Let's go.
It's here.
You want me to carry the flower for you?
No, thanks.
Gosh, I won't steal it from you.
Why did Ms. Seon give you that flower?
Actually, she was sick yesterday, so I helped nursing her.
I see, so the sick friend of yours...
was Ms. Seon.
That's right. I didn't do anything grand though.
- Bye. - Why was she sick?
What?
She had a stomachache.
I heard she could get sick if she denied her existence.
What?
Can you not call yourself a fairy in front of others from now on?
I call myself a fairy because I am,
so I don't care even if people gossip about me.
Whatever the case is, promise that you'll stop.
Do you not believe that I'm a fairy?
Okay, I'll do as you, my husband, say.
Since when was she sick?
How bad was it that...
I'm Jeom Soon, the tiger.
It's only my mother, the prettiest woman in the world...
and myself in my family.
Oh, no. I almost made a mistake.
I should not forget about my brother.
He hasn't come out of his egg yet,
so he can't blame me for forgetting to mention him.
My mother is 699 years old in human years.
She's a widow.
My father passed away when I was little.
No matter how hard I try, I have no memory of him.
Jeom Soon, don't eat too many sausages today.
She said she'd find her reincarnated husband,
but it just doesn't feel real to me.
Rather than finding my father, I want my brother to hatch out soon.
Jeom Soon.
There's someone who visits my mother often these days.
His name is Kim Geum.
Jeom Soon.
- I brought a gift for you. - Mr. Kim.
Awesome. Thank you.
I love boxes.
But these are my gift for you, not that box.
I like him so much because he listens to me...
and hangs out with me.
You look so pretty.
I'd like you to do something for me.
You have feelings for my mom, don't you?
Then go meet with the publishing house for me.
The publishing house?
They contacted you regarding your novel?
That's right...
But you know I change into a tiger...
I mean, a cat all the time.
So my mom's worried.
Actually, I didn't even get to tell her yet.
You're the first person I'm telling this to.
- Really? - So can you...
go meet with them on my behalf and act like you're a writer?
What, me?
I'm the natural sciences major, so I don't know much about liberal arts.
You just need to do the interview and sign the contract.
I'll pay you half once I receive royalties.
What? No. There's no need to.
It's my life's wish.
If you make that face...
Okay, okay.
It's your life's wish, so why not?
You mean it?
Thank you so much, Mr. Kim.
I'm going to set the meeting on Saturday then.
Go ahead.
Do you want to have sausages?
Never mind. I have boiled eggs. Hold on a second.
This incense pouch looks somewhat familiar.
What is it?
When was it?
This egg...
I'm sure...
It cracked when I touched it.
What was that?
Oh no. It cracked even more.
I shouldn't have touched it.
Father?
Is that you, Father?
It's Jeom Dol.
Mr. Kim, how many sausages...
Mr. Kim.
Did he leave?
Mom! Mom.
I played with him this morning.
Is that what happened?
What if something goes wrong?
Is he ready to hatch?
Jeom Dol. Jeom Dol?
Do you hear me?
- It's your mom. - Mom, you'll break him.
Mom.
He's cracked. Won't he rot if left at room temperature?
Opened ketchup has to be refrigerated too.
That won't happen.
Let's wait and see.
Jeom Dol.
Wait.
Watch it.
Everyone knows your fingers don't work.
What?
- Her fingers don't work. - Her fingers don't work.
How dare you?
Let's get out of here!
- Run! - You jerks!
I told you not to tease Jeom Soon.
Don't cry.
Jeom Soon, crying can become a habit.
How will you manage without me?
Kids tease me for having one less finger,
no dad,
and being ugly.
They say I can't marry when I grow up.
Do you believe that?
You have a very pretty face.
- I do? - Yes.
And even if you can't get married...
What?
That will never happen,
but even if it were, then you and I can live with Mom.
Why worry?
Right, Jeom Soon?
(Together Temp Agency)
This is it.
So you saw Fairy Oh's husband...
Her ex-husband come out of here?
That's right.
(Together Temp Agency)
Let's go inside. We'll find something out.
Right.
A 2,000-dollar pay is a good chance to save up.
Crab fishing usually pays 2,500 plus insurance,
so it's a good deal,
but you're novices. Catching shrimp is better for you.
The man who was here earlier, decent-looking, dressed as a beggar.
He'll be on the shrimping boat too?
How many times must I tell you?
He signed a contract.
I used to be a civil servant,
so I'm very exact when it comes to things like this.
Don't you people be late tomorrow morning.
Go to a nice bathing house, wash up and get some rest.
Here you go.
- You saw an apparition? - It should be an apparition.
You think it wasn't.
It makes no sense.
That fairy called me her husband.
The more I think about it the less I like it.
(Trashy Jung)
What?
Is my book in your office?
Your book?
- What is it? - I borrowed it from Geum.
It's for his major classes and I must return it today.
Hey, I found it, sorry.
You can't even remember where you left important books now?
You're totally besotted with a weird woman.
You're a professor who gives lectures.
Why are you complaining?
And who am I besotted with?
The coffee truck woman.
She's nothing minus her round eyes.
You saw Ok Nam too?
I guess so.
What's going on?
Why does she look young and pretty only to us?
See, I was right.
I'm busy.
She was so pretty.
I'm so annoyed.
Are you listening to a taryeong?
What? A taryeong?
Don't say that. This has a different swag.
You can keep it on.
So, did you find Mr. Kim's office all right?
Without getting lost?
I'm not a child. I found my way there.
Not all adults do things properly.
What do you mean by that?
Mom, about Mr. Kim.
When you were sick yesterday, he did go to all sorts of trouble,
but he was so frustrating.
When he found you,
he got anxious and carried you and ran.
I shouted "right".
- To the right. - Okay.
Mr. Kim!
I'm sorry.
But he turned left instead.
He left to get peaches...
and came back two hours later drenched in sweat.
I went to a 24-hour market...
but it's not peach season.
- What should we do? - He came empty-handed.
It's because he's too rigid.
He's a good person.
Your father used to leave to sell firewood...
but came home with his bundle untouched.
He would've exchanged it for something if he'd thought of it.
He just brought it back.
I was too young to remember much,
but I do remember we were dirt poor because of him.
He would be so upset to hear that.
At least thanks to him, our floors were always warm.
We had a lot of firewood he couldn't sell,
and he listened to us,
so we always had a warm heart.
I can forget everything else...
but not that warmth.
Good for you for marrying a guy who heats floors.
Enjoy your memories of the past as you listen to the taryeong.
Okay.
I am unbelievably happy that...
we met again.
What are you doing?
What?
Nothing. I put your book on your desk.
What memory is this?
If you will take it, I'd gladly offer my jacket.
Have you seen my winged dress that was folded here?
The deer that pointed me in this direction took it.
A deer?
I saved a deer holding onto its life,
and it led me over to this place.
Could I perhaps ask your name?
My name is...
Bausae.
That's the name Dubhe went by years ago.
Dubhe.
Don't you remember me?
I'm sorry, but you're mistaking me for someone else.
I do not know you.
Though everything changes...
and we forget about many,
there is something we can never forget.
For you, my fairy,
I will find your winged dress.

Memories about someone come and go.
Find yourself a girlfriend.
If you date someone, the symptoms you're experiencing...
might all go away.
Please come by to eat the packed lunch...
any time you want.
I'd rather you don't get closer to Ms. Seon.
Don't you think that it's selfish?
What? Why?
Isn't that Ms. Fairy's neck-tie?
Are you my husband?
(Has Jung Yi Hyun experienced first love?)
Prokaryote lacks a membrane-bound nucleus...
and an organelle.
- Glycocalyx... - Look at Professor Jung.
He's wearing that jacket again.
If I'm reincarnated, I'll be born as that jacket.
- I'll be his dress shirt. - Then I'll be his undershirt.
Professor, tell us about your first love.
What?
There is still five minutes left of this class,
so you must.
Oh no.
What you're seeing...
is the organism my team has been researching.
It is a multicellular organism known as a parasitic nematode...
that was found 17 years ago by a German biologist.
It is a butterfly-haired eelworm...
which goes by the scientific name of meloidogyne partityla.
That is my first love.
