WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

The baby's heart rate is too fast.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

GONG RYONG

Mr. Gong?

The ultrasound.

What is this?

Why did you send it to Yi-man?

Is it okay for the baby's heart
to beat so fast?

The heartbeat of a fetus can be irregular.

It's at 180 bpm now,

so it's fine
as long as it doesn't go higher.

Don't worry.

I see.

Eve.

Is the baby…

From when we were in space.

You're the father.

I'll come to you.

Okay.

Get here soon. I miss you.

Okay.

Hey, are you smiling or crying?

You haven't paid the fine,

lost your medical license,

and got a two-year sentence.

Look, the IOU or the KSA

would never send you
to space again, so how…

I should go.

I have something to tell you.

What is it? Is something going on?

Sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.

I only found out a few days ago myself.

What is it?

I'm 12 weeks pregnant.

Wait, what are you talking about?

That's absurd.

It's true.

The baby is healthy.

Who's the father?

It's Mr. Gong Ryong.

It happened here.

The baby will die if I go back to Earth.

Please let me stay.

I'll have the baby here.

-Eve.
-Eve.

Are you insane?

You know you could die
trying to have the baby there!

No one has ever done that before,
not even the mice!

Do you have a death wish?

Chief.

Look, I want to live.

Dong-a,
I'm not trying to get myself k*lled.

I disposed of the morula.

If I give up this baby too,

I won't be able to live.

I still can't forgive my mother.

I tried, but I can't.
She did abandon me after all.

I'm not going to give up
on this baby's life or my own.

Because of this baby,

I really, desperately…

want to live a long, healthy life.
More than I ever did.

Dr. Ma, Chief, Dong-a,
I need your help, okay?

Help me.

You will stand by for departure as planned
and wait for further orders.

Chief!

Chief!

-Eve.
-Eve.

What's wrong?

Eve, what's wrong?

-Eve, are you in pain?
-What's the matter?

Chief! Eve!

Eun-su, get Dona in here now.

Where's Dona?

Eve, are you all right?

How the hell did you miss
that she was pregnant?

She got a check-up at MZ Medical Center
when she was back in Seoul,

and another one in Houston
right before the launch.

How did…

She was here for less than three weeks.

It may not show up on tests for 21 days.
She probably didn't know.

Who would've thought…
Eve couldn't have seen this coming.

What do we do now?

The mom will be safe
coming back down, right?

Yeah, I think so.

We have to bring her back, okay?

I'm not an ob-gyn.

First, we need to find an ob-gyn
who's familiar with zero gravity.

Where the hell
are we going to find a doctor like that?

An ob-gyn who knows about

pregnancy in zero gravity
and has been to the space station?

We won't find anyone like that
anywhere in the world!

No, absolutely not. We can't do that.

But nobody else will be willing to go!

Even the tourist can only stay there
for seven to ten days at most.

He'll have to skip the space training,
which means

he could lose his ability to walk
due to the aftereffects of zero gravity.

You know that.

There's only one person

who would be willing to risk their life.

The only fool who'd go knowing all this

is Mr. Gong Ryong.

NEW MESSAGE FROM LEE SEUNG-JUN

Mr. Gong, Eve has abdominal pain.

Please check the ultrasound.

We got Eve's ultrasound.

Chief, Eve has been having abdominal pain.

She even has some vaginal bleeding.

Take a look at her ultrasound.

From this, I can't figure out the cause.

Eve's cervix appears to be short.

The lower part looks funnel-shaped.

I think it might be cervical incompetence,

but the ultrasound
wasn't done by a doctor.

To be sure,
I need a transvaginal ultrasound.

Let's have them do one right now.

No, that could put her in danger.

We don't have much time!

-She's bleeding, Mr. Gong.
-She's…

She's bleeding?

That means

her cervix is opening further
or something else is wrong.

A transvaginal ultrasound
must be done carefully.

Since the amniotic sac has descended,
rupturing it would be dangerous.

The fetus would also be at risk
if you touch it.

It'll result in a miscarriage,

and her bleeding will get worse.

She could get an infection
and go into shock.

Due to fluid loss in space,

minimal bleeding
can lead to hypovolemic shock.

She could die.

She's in no shape to return!

Even if she could,

she'd never risk the baby's life.

Please don't let her die.

You idiots,
you think I'm trying to k*ll her?

She needs an ob-gyn

to figure out the exact cause

and stitch up her cervix
or do whatever it takes

to stop the bleeding.

You know
you can't do surgery in zero gravity.

You can do a McDonald cerclage.

A STITCH AROUND THE CERVIX

Chief, the only person
who's performed surgery in zero gravity

is Mr. Gong Ryong.

Chief.

Please let me go up there.

I know the IOU
would never approve of this.

I don't even have a medical license.

I still haven't paid the fine,

and I can't afford
to buy another space trip.

Please just sneak me onto the cargo ship
like a piece of baggage.

You'll be dead before you get there.

You hate me, don't you?

You think I deserve to die like that.

Put me on the ship with the mice.

With the fruit flies.

Please.

Please send me up there.

Please.

Please let me go and be by Eve's side.

I'm begging you. The two of them…

are my family now.

He's the only doctor
who can help her here.

Please let him come!

There's no time, Chief.

I'm begging you.

Please, I'm begging you.

We deeply regret for what happened.

There is no excuse.

And I also understand how ridiculous

it sounds to send a criminal
back to the space.

But before you brand him as a convict,

consider him as the only doctor
who can save a life up in space.

Give him a chance
to save our astronaut Eve.

If anyone can save life there,

it would be him.

Ryong!

Are you having lunch?

-Did you eat?
-Yeah.

Come sit.

-Mom.
-Yeah?

-Mom.
-What?

Mom!

What is it, silly?

I'm going somewhere far away.

Where?

For how long?

Well, I'll be back soon.

When is that?

I'll call you when I get there.

You ladies are really amazing.

You raised me, fed me,

and put me through school.

Wow, you're just so petty.

You made sure to skip over
the "giving birth" part.

-Geez.
-You could've thrown it in there.

Here.

Use this when you need it,
like when you're sick.

Please don't try to save money

and rely on painkillers
when you have issues.

What the heck are you saying?

Maybe he's talking all big
with an overdraft account.

TRANSACTION DETAILS

This is supposed to be your wedding fund.
Why are you giving it to us?

And for God's sake, stop drinking so much!

Hey, why are you being melodramatic
with all this stuff?

Thank you for being my mom.

I know it made your lives so much harder.

I love you.

You fool!

What are you… Where are you going?

How long will you be gone?

Come on, tell us.

Just get me some rice.

He wants rice.

-No, you can have mine. Here.
-Right, let's eat first.

Just half a bowl, okay?

-That's not enough. Here you go.
-Shush!

Hwa-ja, grill a mackerel!

-Get him some soup too.
-Right.

How's Eve?

Her bleeding won't stop,

and her cervix looks even shorter.

She's refusing to take painkillers
for the baby's sake,

so she's in more pain now.

She might really have a miscarriage soon.

Her blood pressure is still rising.

Okay, let's go. Hurry up.

What is your song request?

Song request?
Are you f*cking kidding me right now?

Don't take that tone, as*h*le!

You have no right to say that!

You're lucky we're sending you to space
instead of jail.

Now, I'm not into this either.

But Eve is the only reason
we're doing this, m*therf*cker!

Liftoff.

Liftoff.

Hang in there, Eve.

He'll be here soon, okay?

He's coming.

-Dr. Lee.
-Go, hurry.

Thank you.

Eve.

There's no need to be scared.

You're okay.

You need a stitch.

You've been bleeding
because of cervical incompetence.

I brought the needle this time
for the anesthesia.

It's just stitching your cervix
to keep the fetus in place.

I'm closing it so it can support
the growing uterus. It's simple.

It's simple?

Yeah, it won't take long.

Are you sure about that?

You said that
when you stitched up my toes.

Liar.

You know that all doctors are liars.

Are you ready?

I'll start now, okay?

Let's get started.

I've been watching her overnight.

She no longer has any abdominal pain
or anesthesia-induced headache.

Her BP is good,
and the bleeding has stopped.

Everything looks good.

Good work.

-Is everyone at the station asleep?
-Yeah.

You two should go get some rest.

You made sure to give Mr. Gong
a clear warning, right?

Yeah.

Did you sleep okay?

Yes, Commander.

How are you feeling?

I'm not the commander anymore.

You'll always be my commander, all right?

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah, I feel much better.

I'm glad.

You and I

now have Byeol.

"Byeol"?

Yeah, that's our baby's name.

It means "star."
It was conceived here in space.

But you named
Public and Indecency's baby "Star."

You don't like the name?

I'm not sure.

Because they're fruit flies?

No.

Then what?

It's nothing.

Oh, when will I start
to feel the baby move?

From around 20 weeks.

-Twenty weeks?
-Yeah.

I thought about you here every day
while reading the obstetrics book,

wondering how you knew
I was going to need it.

The part you carved out to hide the liquor

happened to be about


But by the 13th week,

a walking obstetrics book showed up

right in front of me.

Do you think

the day will come when I can have
a drop of that liquor after giving birth?

It'll come, right?

Yeah, I'm sure it will.

You're not an astronaut.

You need to be clear about that.

You'll be going into space
without proper training,

and because of zero gravity,

you may lose your ability to walk.

The longer you stay there, the more
blood flow increases to your eyes,

causing your retina to thicken.
That could lead to vision loss.

You cannot stay there for too long.

The longer you do,

the greater the risk for you.

Your job

is to come back with Eve straight away.

Don't forget that.

Seriously. I told them
to leave this unplugged for a while.

It's so hot.

I need to adjust the thermostat again.

Eve.

Aren't you hot? Is it just me?

I'm not hot.

Well, I am.

Listen, Mr. Tourist.

You should head back down now.

It's dangerous for you to stay here.

I'm fine now.

You'll be my doctor from Earth, right?

Just come back for the delivery, okay?

Come with me.

I'm here to take you back.

We can have a baby next time.

Once the mouse pregnancy
and birth are successful

and it's proven to be safe.
We can do it then.

We didn't think this through.

I'm taking you back with me.

They're ready for our emergency landing.

Come with me.

I can't believe you're saying this.

You can't stay here.

You know why.

So you want to k*ll your own baby?

What if something goes wrong?

What if you need a C-section?

The moment I cut you open,
your organs will spill and float around.

Because of surface tension,
your blood will stick to the instruments.

It'll spread all over the room.

I can't perform surgery
or a C-section here,

so there's nothing…

It's too dangerous for you.

Why do you keep assuming
it's going to go wrong?

If there's even a 5% chance you'll die…

No, even if it's just 1%,
I'm not putting you at risk.

If you're not going, I'm not going.

What?

I'm not leaving without you.

You can only stay here
for seven to ten days at most.

How would you keep working as a doctor

if you can't walk anymore or go blind?

So come with me.

And let our baby die?

You're not letting it die.

I am.

Think of it that way.

That's the same thing.
What are you saying?

A lot of people
have natural births on Earth.

Can't you just trust me?

Come on, we can have another baby.

That baby won't be the same as this one!

This baby is going to die!

For God's sake!

Stop…

Stop saying it's going to die.

Look, I…

I want to protect our baby too.

But…

I have to protect you first.
That's more important to me.

If you stay here any longer,

it'll be too dangerous to go back.

You need to come with me now.

You can keep an eye on me from Earth,

get your astronaut training,

and come back for the delivery.
Why can't we just do that?

Am I…

Am I still just a tourist to you?

How do you expect me
to just drop in for a week like a tourist

when my wife and baby
are fighting to survive?

You're telling me to just come
as your doctor to help with the delivery.

You're so damn stubborn, Commander.

I've never told anyone

that they should
give up on their babies until now.

It's our baby, and I…

hate to do this too.

Fine.

You can stay.

I'll stay with you.

Whatever happens,

let's see this through.

I'll be here for my wife and baby
every step of the way.

Are you out of your mind?

Both the baby and I will make it.

Why are you trying to ruin your life here?

Please just go back, okay?

No, listen to me. I…

You could die giving birth.
You're asking me to watch you die.

Would you leave if you were me?

Please go back, okay?

I'm not going anywhere without you.

If you're worried about my life,

you'll come with me.

Chief.

Eve agreed to return.

Really?

The emergency landing site
is off the coast

-of Pensacola, Florida,
-Yes. Please relay the message quickly.

in the Gulf of Mexico.

Let me know as soon as the time
of deorbit burn has been calculated.

DEORBIT BURN:
SPACESHIP ENGINES FIRING

TO CHANGE ITS ORBIT FOR RE-ENTRY

Santi, you've got the parachutes, right?

Yes, ma'am.

How's your headache, Eve?

Your BP is a bit high.

Yeah, I'm fine.

What about you, Mr. Gong?

I'm good.

Is Ryong really coming back today?

Yeah, why would Yi-man lie to us?

Let's just clean the place quickly.

You do the bathroom. I'll do the kitchen.

Na-mi, open the windows.

Boy, where did he put the vacuum cleaner?

Keep an eye on Eve's vitals.

Yes, Chief.

All right.
You'll be back on Earth in eight hours.

-Copy.
-Copy.

Copy.

All right, then.
We're ready for your departure.

Go.

Initiating undocking sequence.

Unlocking, disengaging first lock.

Undocking G.O-12,

T minus one minute.

Disengaging second lock.

Undocking completion, T minus 30 seconds.

Eve, is everything okay?

Is their oxygen supply stable?
Their breathing seems uneven.

Their BP and pulse rates are all normal.

They're fine.

Okay.

G.O-12 has detached
from the space station.

We'll fire the engines
once you're 20 m away from the station.

What do we do?

Is it going to be okay?

It's okay, Eve.

Don't think about anything, okay?

Geez, how's he ever going to find
anything in this mess?

FIRST KIM EVE

NATIONAL CENTER
FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

NATIONAL CENTER FOR
THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

DEAR KIM EVE

"First Kim Eve"?

"National Center for the Rights"…



You weren't abandoned
at Chuncheon Station, were you?

It wasn't in a taxi, right?

It wasn't in a taxi heading
to Chuncheon Station

on Christmas Eve,
the year the Olympics were held, was it?



No, it wasn't.

Eve's blood pressure
keeps going up, Chief.

What?

Na-mi, what's wrong?

Why are you crying?

What kind of mother am I?

-Na-mi.
-Why are you crying, dummy?

Hwa-ja, I'm a complete idiot.

-Na-mi!
-What's the matter?

How could I not recognize her?

Na-mi.

I don't deserve to be a mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, my baby.

-Chief.
-What the hell happened?

She's never been like this.

I'm sorry.

Eve.

I'm sorry, my baby.

Eve, look at me.

Her BP is too high.

She seems extremely anxious,
and her pulse is too fast.

Her blood vessels could burst.

Eve, try to calm down.

Guys, there's something wrong with Eve.

Santi, take off her helmet.

Take her helmet off and check the pupils.

I'm on it. Hold on.

Eve, can you see me?

Eve! Look at me!

Look at me! Can you see me?

Her pupils are dilated!

Eve!

How many fingers am I holding up? Huh?

Eve! Can you see me?
How many fingers am I holding up?

Three.

Three?

Double vision.
It might be cerebral hemorrhage.

She'll die at this rate.

-We need to stop.
-Guys, we need to go back!

We need to go back!

Eve.

Now!

Now!

Santi, steer back
to the station right now.

-She needs medication.
-Eve!

You're okay.

-Calm down.
-You'll be okay.

Eve.

Take deep breaths.



PASSENGER TERMINAL 2

Going somewhere?

It's none of your business.

I just got back to Seoul,
so where are you going?

Mr. Go.

Wait for me.

Can I go to the restroom? Excuse me.

Hey!

Don't you have anything better to do?
You have a job.

Is Ryong having a boy or a girl?

A boy or a girl?

How should I know?

We should try for a baby again, too.

Ryong will make it possible
for you to have kids.

Are you crazy?

Just you wait.

He will make it possible
for you to have kids.

Wow, he must be crazy.

Ms. Ji Hwa-ja, Jang Mi-hwa,
and Jeong Na-mi?

-Yes!
-Yes, we're here.

-Let's go.
-Yeah.

What are you all doing here together?

Is something wrong?

I hear she'll need a lot of blood
during delivery.

Send my blood up to the space station.

We're all type A.

-Send mine up there too.
-Mine too.

No, you guys are anemic. I can't.

No, Yi-man.

We don't drink anymore,
and we've quit smoking.

We have.

We want you to do it. We're scared.

Why are you scared?
It's nothing to be scared of.

Well, it'd make Ryong happy, though.

But you can't do it, Na-mi.

Why not?

Because if your blood enters Eve's body,

there's a chance the immune cells
in your blood could attack Eve's tissues.

The biological mother can't be a donor.

That's absurd.

Come on, how could that be?

I mean, why can't I…

Are you saying

I can't even do this one thing
for my daughter?

-Don't cry.
-Na-mi, don't do this again.

Hey, Ryong is going to come back soon

with his wife and baby, right?

You're really a mom now,

and we're all grandmas.

Once they're here, you can do anything.

Am I right?

Yeah, sure. Absolutely.

That's right. Let's just think

that they're on
a really long honeymoon to space,

that they even made a baby there,

and they'll come back to us together,
all three of them.

-Right? Isn't that true?
-Yeah.

But still…

-Come on now. Stop crying.
-Come on.

ONE WEEK
BEFORE EVE'S DUE DATE

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight…

Good. A little more gently
in sync with the breathing.

-Okay.
-Santi, very good.

-Is the suction working well?
-Yes.

Okay, good. Let's try this one more time.

All right.

The baby's blood pressure
and heart are both good,

and there are no deformities
from the radiation so far.

It's growing well
with a very strong will to survive.

We're in the final stretch.

We've also upgraded
the medical module system to ensure

complete protection
from any space bacteria or viruses.

You won't need to worry about infections

with any type of patients up here now.

Good.

We've magnetized all surgical instruments
with Mr. Gong as well,

so they won't be floating around anymore.

Okay. What about bleeding control?

Dr. Mina Lee will handle suction.

Okay.

Mr. Gong has figured out
a steady surgical position.

Eve has been working out a lot as well,
so her bone density looks good too.

The X-ray machine was a no-go, right?

No, I don't think we can send up
either X-ray or MRI this time.

Surgical procedures could've been possible
if we had a little more time.

Her BP, bone density,
everything looks good.

She seems strong enough
to handle a natural birth.

She just can't break any bones.

Don't let her push too hard.

All right! She's been doing great.

She's going to do great, right?

-What?
-What's going on?

What's the problem?

Go check.

She still has a few more days to go!

Her BP is up by 10,
cardiac output increased by 10%.

Santi, give her an IV and antibiotics.

Will do.

Eve, you can scream if it hurts.
Don't hold back, okay?

Keep breathing.

You will

go back to Earth right after this, okay?

As soon as the baby is born,

you're leaving. Got it?

The contractions have started.

You never kept your word.

Once the baby is born,

you'll switch with another ob-gyn. Okay?

All right.

You're fully dilated.

When you feel the contraction,
hold your breath

and push, okay?

Let's try it.

-One, two, three.
-Two, three.

Push!

Good.

You're doing great.

Suction.

Again.

Keep your head up as you push.
One, two, three.

Push!

-You left the humidifier on, right?
-Yeah.

-Be careful with her head.
-No, wait! Hold on.

Why is she coughing? What's wrong?

-She's coughing?
-I think so. Hang on.

Oh, she peed.

Good girl.

Eve, you need to feed her.

Just go get the formula. I'll feed her.

Can't you get it?

Come on, get up.

I'll go get your bottle.

I know, just hold on.

Byeol, when do you think
Mommy will be back?

-Come on, stand up.
-Hold your legs up.

Come on. Hold onto that.

Oh, I'm going to let go, okay?

Is she standing up?
I'm going to let go now.

Byeol!

With Daddy.

You want to come with Mommy to space?

Eve.

You're a mom now.

Great job, Eve.

Thank you all

for everything you've done for me.

You did great.

Get some rest.

Yes!

Oh, my God!

She's so tiny.

Look, guys.

Let's go get everything ready

and clean up the stuff.

Santi.

She's beautiful.

You should get some rest now, okay?
The baby needs to rest too.

What is it? Is something wrong?

No.

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just don't break any bones.

If you break your pelvic bone,
that'll be it.

You know…

I really want a drink.

What? Already?

I can't have one?

No, you should wait.

Come on, really?

Having a drink with you right now
would make me so happy.

Please?

Please?

Hold on a second.

Your blood pressure is normal,
and everything else looks good.

The contractions
are progressing well, and…

There's no sign of postpartum bleeding.

Listen, when will the pain meds wear off?

Soon.

Why? Do you feel nauseous?

Hey, come here.

You're a dad now.

Yeah.

You said you could never deliver
your own baby.

Congratulations.

Why do you look like that?

You look sad. Why?

No, I'm just overwhelmed.

All right.

I'll be right back, okay?

If your pelvis breaks,

it'll tear your blood vessels
and cause bleeding.

They won't be able to operate.

It'll be the end.

So whatever you do, don't push too hard.

She's beautiful.

Just one drop, okay?

No, forget it.

-I changed my mind.
-Hey, you can't take it away from me now.

What's the matter?

You should rest up
and eat something first.

You can have it after that, okay?

After that, it's all yours.

Fine.

Hey.

I'm getting a little sleepy.

Sure, go ahead and sleep.

It'll be good for you.

But I don't want to sleep.

I don't want to waste any time.

You're not wasting time.

Sleep is like the best medicine for you
right now. You need it.

But I don't want to.

Don't go anywhere, okay?

Okay.

You'll stay with me while I sleep, right?

Of course.

I miss you already.

Who? Me?

Or Byeol?

Both of you.

You can be with us all you want
once you get some sleep.

Thank you.

I should thank you.



MZ FERTILITY CLINIC
OPENING CEREMONY

PRESS CONFERENCE
FOR THE NEW SPACE FERTILITY CLINIC

At the space station,

an ob-gyn clinic is opening.

A space fertility clinic that will tackle

infertility in zero gravity,
which we couldn't do on Earth.

It's become a reality
with MZ Group's support and my efforts.

And our beloved Byeol,
the first to be born in space,

will be celebrating her first birthday

surrounded by all our love.

Her first birthday party will be held
in the space station's biological module,

and I'm inviting all of you…

Actually, I'm inviting
everyone on Earth to join us.

It's just that

you'll need to cover
your own travel expenses.

No discounts.

When will Byeol
be able to come down to Earth?

I think your question

will be better answered by those two,

since they'll be going
to the space station soon.

Chief Kang,

I wanted to ask you too.

When will the two of them be here?

It's been a year and seven months
since Mr. Gong Ryong left Earth.

It's the longest anyone
has ever been in space.

While other astronauts
have rotated in and out,

he has insisted on
staying on the space station

as both a doctor and a father.

This is because
Byeol has an underdeveloped heart

and low bone density and muscle mass,

since there's less strain on the heart
and less muscle use in zero gravity.

His persistence

has brought us closer to the moment

when he and Byeol
will finally step back on Earth.

Please support them until then.

Thank you, Chief Kang Tae-hui.

With the establishment
of the space fertility clinic,

a new era has begun

where anyone who wants to
have children can now do so.

Now, no one will ever be
unable to have children

because of Earth's environment,
their limitations,

health issues, or lack of money.

Mr. Gong will lead the way in space,
while I will lead on Earth.

He with his expertise,

and I with my money.

Together, we'll work
to protect the value of life.

How did you raise
one trillion won in funds?

Right, it's all my own money.

I made 500 billion purely by luck,

then invested it in stocks
and made another 500 billion.

CEO Choi Go-eun.

How about a clap?

I did something good. Give me some credit.

I love you.

Marry me.

I want to have

kids with you too.

Let's have children, everyone on Earth!

Otherwise, our planet is doomed!

When is the wedding?

Did you just propose to her?

Please tell us.

What once seemed impossible,

mammalian pregnancy and childbirth…

The birth of Byeol has not only
solved the infertility issues

but also opened up
possibilities for humans…

Dr. Gong Ryong
still remains on the space station

to ensure the lives
that began in zero gravity

can live healthily on Earth,
overcoming the challenges of gravity.

Abnormal sperm numbers 3, 5, and 9.

Their genetic defects
can be fixed in zero gravity.

Now, other desperate people
can have children as well.

Aren't you pushing yourself too hard?

Take it easy. You have a child.

When you have a kid, you'll see.

You never get tired.

Byeol.

Byeol.

Do you see that blue planet over there?

That's Mom and Dad's home.

Don't you want to go?

Mr. Gong, you have to go back now.

The damage to your organs,
eyes, and muscles

has all become fatal.

Zero gravity is threatening your life now.

You're at your limit.

You need to come with us.

Until I figure out how to get Byeol
on the spaceship,

I'm not leaving.

I'm going to find a way
to take her with me.

Byeol!

You're here!

Did you sleep well? Say, "Auntie."

Byeol.

-Who's that?
-Say, "Uncle."

No, you like me better, right?

"Uncle."

-Can you say, "Uncle"?
-You just burped, right?

Come on, people.

Her first word should be "mommy,"
not "auntie" or "uncle."

Am I right, Byeol?

Can you say, "Mommy"?

-Gotcha!
-Oh, that's a good girl.

I'm going to tickle you!

After Byeol was born,

Eve stayed with us for one more day
before she passed.

Byeol, come to Uncle.

Easy.

Oh, look at you.

Look at you.

Look at this, Byeol.

They're yellow.

They're beautiful, right?

Let's go see the rice.

That day, she kissed Byeol's feet

at least a hundred times.

That day, she apologized

to everyone at MCC over and over again.

That day, she joked about

how I should die instead of her.

That one day with her

felt so long.

Eve did so much before she passed.

The space was both a womb

and a tomb for her.

Goodbye, Eve.

I'll see you again.

Dear Byeol.

Once you come to this vast space

with no beginning or end, you'll see.

Zinnias, lettuce,

mayflies, even humans.

Everything is weightless here.

All living beings are equal.

So do not carelessly step on

an earthworm in the backyard,

or weed the lawn.

They are

miracles made
by the spirits of the universe.

Every being is…

a miracle on its own.
