[Episode 8]

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry…
- What?

I told you this is dangerous.

- What?
- Let me go, please.

Shouldn't we stop him?

No, this person…

I'm fine, let me go.

Did he really jump?

Come back in.

Lee Dong Jin?

They said the third class is canceled.

The homeroom teacher
said it's canceled earlier.

Great! It was math class.

They gathered just to exchange trivial chatter.

No one was truly sad.

A moment of silence.

[Lee Dong Jin]

But there was at least one person.

Let's go.

Later I realized our eyes might have met.

- Please, play properly!
- Pass the ball.

Too far to see the face.

I'm certain our eyes met
then too, with that boy.

Dong Jin, try taking it with some mood
this time. Like an emotional guy vibe?

Okay.

Really.

Stand properly. I don't have much film left.

During the autumn field
trip, it happened again.

The feeling of our eyes meeting.

- Pass to me!
- Hurry up!

♫ When I look back, you're always there ♫

♫ Even when pushed away, you come closer ♫

♫ Would you break if I reach out?
Collapse if I embrace you ♫

♫ To me, who can do nothing ♫

♫ You were always smiling ♫

Always cheerful, laughing among friends,

watching you was as fun as watching TV.

[Class 2-6 Donated by Lee Dong Jin's Mother,
Oh Mi Sook]

[Parents' Association Chair]
Lee Dong Jin.

That was that boy's name.

I ate lunchboxes daily while
staring at Dong Jin's name.

Still, before graduation,

I wanted to speak to him just once.

♫ Even if this love's end isn't happiness ♫

Someone was looking my way.

It was too far to see who it was.

Yet, it felt strangely familiar.

But,

that was the last.

♫ Before I knew it, you approached me ♫

Who is it?

♫ Looking into your eyes ♫

Lee Dong Jin?

♫ But it's still love ♫

[Midong High School Graduation Book]
♫ You still call it love ♫

♫ If this love ends ♫
Everyone graduated.

♫ If happiness comes ♫

♫ Even the small happiness coming to me ♫

[Lee Dong Jin]

♫ I'll give it all to you ♫

[Lee Dong Jin]
Lee Dong Jin.

It's the first time I've
properly seen your face.

But it feels familiar.

And that is the face

I saw again after more than 10 years.

Why are you here?

No.

No, Lee Dong Jin, don't do this.

- Oh my God!
- He jumped!

It was definitely Lee Dong Jin.

- What happened?
- What's going on?

[Episode 8: Lee Dong Jin]

At least the ambulance came quickly.

That's a relief.

- Hello?
- Yes, PD Heo Eun Sil?

Yes, what is it?

You know Lee Dong Jin, right?

Yes, why?

Yes, something happened to Mr. Lee Dong Jin.

If you can, please come
to the hospital right now.

[Se-Un University Hospital]

Jung Hyuk.

Are you awake?

Why suddenly jump into the Han River?

Are you into extreme sports now?

It's not like that.

Then what is it?

Just data verification.

What?

Something like that. Aren't you busy?

I'm busy, man.

Accidents and incidents
keep happening around here.

Even you should help me out a bit.

Got it.

I'm fine, so hurry up and go.

Are you really okay?

I told you I'm really fine.

Are you really okay?

Hey, I'm tough, sturdy.

What? You're awake?

- PD!
- Ugh, seriously!

Who is it?

Just a PD I know.

I'll handle the hospitalization
paperwork, so just rest.

Contact me if anything happens.

Thanks.

Who is it?

Ah, my best friend.

Kim Jung Hyuk.

He looks gentle,

but he's a detective who catches criminals.

Gentle my foot. He looks
exactly like a detective.

Right?

People's judgment it's all the same.

Were you really so desperate to die?

This behavior of yours
isn't helping Mi Jeong at all.

Sorry for making you come
all this way when you're busy.

But now,

I have no choice but to ask you for a favor,

since I'm in this state.

Don't do it. What are you asking for now?

One last thing.

There's a variable I want to confirm.

A variable?

But, to confirm that variable,

we need to hear directly from Mi Jeong.

Everyone who loved Mi Jeong even a little

has been hurt or k*lled.

Right.

Then conversely,

what about someone that Mi Jeong loved?

Please meet Mi Jeong in my stead.

It's my final request.

[Cheonhyo 2nd Street, Number 9]

Mi Jeong, get in quickly.

Ugh, it's cold. Hurry up and get in.

What's going on all of a sudden?

Did you quit your job?

No.

Then, did you break up with a secret boyfriend?

- Hey!
- You scared me!

What boyfriend?

No.

Living like this for a lifetime,

I thought I'd never get to visit
places like Hallstatt or anything.

So, I left feeling stifled and resentful.

You should live while
getting some fresh air too.

In this freezing cold?

And I'm always out getting fresh air.

The rooftop gets plenty of wind.

Are we going on the trip or not?

Let's go.

Should we go?

We're going!

Thanks.

Isn't it great?

Yeah.

If you want to travel, just say so. Anytime.

[Lee Dong Jin]

Eun Sil, aren't you busy lately?

Hey, I'm crazy busy too.

Staying up all night editing
every day, I can't even date.

So stop wandering alone on buses

and tell me if you want to travel.

I need an excuse to get some fresh air too.

Eun Sil,

are you upset with me?

What? No.

Then, did you do something wrong?

Me? To you?

Jeez! Nothing like that.

Watering plants, watching
the sky on the rooftop,

sometimes taking bus trips,

and going out late at night to feed cats,

it's not bad.

Not bad and good are different things.

People should live doing good things.

How can there only be good things?

Living means going through all
sorts of things and toughening up.

Eun Sil, I'm really okay.

So, stop worrying.

Mi Jeong,

many guys have liked you until now,

but have you ever liked someone?

That's random.

Tell me.

Just say it, I'm curious.

There was.

Oh, really?

Just once, really just once.

But I was too young back then.

Should I call that my first love?

It was a guy from church.

What? A church guy?

It's so cliché.

♪ The Lord's love is blooming ♪

♪ Embracing me with mercy ♪

Was he handsome?

He was an older guy I'd known
since we were very young.

Anyway, was he handsome?

From my perspective,

I liked his smile.

I actually went to church
every week to see him.

♪ The Lord who gives us strength ♪

♪ Will enlighten us all ♪

Have the seizures decreased lately?

Yes, they've improved a lot.

But you must take your
medication consistently every day.

If the convulsions persist,
take this one more time.

Okay.

I explained to your mother about the
additional prescription the doctor gave you.

Yes, thank you.

Goodbye.

Mi Jeong.

Hello.

Oh, what brings you to the pharmacy?

My father's teeth are bothering
him, so I came to buy medicine.

Oh, I see.

I'll go ahead.

That's when I found out that he had epilepsy.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Without even having a proper
conversation, time just passed by.

[Lim Ik Jong, 3rd Year,
Admitted to Hankuk University 2011]

I thought, "now that guy is going to Seoul,

it would be hard to see him often."

But then…

Hey, Mi Jeong.

He approached me first again.

Can we talk for a moment?

No, this is something
I wrote that will help you.

[Seongmun Comprehensive English Summary]

No, take it, it's nothing special.

Just give it a thorough look.

It'd be great if we attend
the same university later.

Oppa.

Then, he had an accident.

Like everyone who approached me.

I worried and brought epilepsy medication,

but I couldn't muster the courage to call him.

He went to the hospital
and quietly left the town.

- Hello, senior.
- Then, years later, I met him again.

Mi Jeong.

I feel like I didn't congratulate
you properly last time.

You worked hard. Coming from
the countryside must have been tough.

No. Thanks to the notes
you gave me. They helped a lot.

Thank you.

Huh? Notes?

What notes?

Hmm… Seongmun Comprehensive English.

Seongmun Comprehensive…

Oh, right, I, I did that, didn't I? Right.

Mi Jeong, there's a Taebaek Alumni
Association at Hankuk University.

I don't go there often,

but you should try visiting. If you go there,

there might be times when
we can help each other in Seoul.

Anyway, I'll go now. Let's meet often.

Seeing that he didn't remember that notebook,

I think that's when I completely got over him.

Wait.

So that good-looking first love of yours

is our department's Lim Ik Jong?

You really have no taste in men.

That punk spread rumors
about you in our department.

That I'm a witch?

What? You knew?

Rumors spread fast.

Even if it hadn't been Ik Jong,

it would've spread through some channel anyway.

Jeez! The more I listen,
the more pissed off I get.

It's all in the past, anyway.

No, what's worse is you liked
him too, but he couldn't even remember?

Hold on.

Then it fits the premise.

But something doesn't add up here.

Huh? What?

Let me verify a few things.

Answer as you remember.

Was the church chapel big?

How big? Like your rooftop?

Probably about that size.

But, why?

Did the service last about 30 minutes?

Around an hour.

[Within 10 meters, over 10 minutes]

But why does that matter?

Did you talk a lot at church?

How many sentences? Over ten?

Of course.

We always had refreshments after the service.

Lim Ik Jong, there's no way
she didn't know that name.

[Ten sentences talked, name]

Then, by any chance,

did Ik Jong confess to you?

Did he say he liked you?

[4. Confessing love to her is dangerous.]

That's about the same thing.

Same thing? Did he say it or not?

I told you he gave me the notes.

[Notes]

Why didn't we search that punk?

Huh?

Nothing.

[5. Violating any of the above
rules will result in death]

[Seongmun Comprehensive English Summary]

[Lim Ik Jong]

[Seongmun Comprehensive English Summary]

What now?

Ah, I'm very busy.

Spit it out quickly.

I think there's something you haven't told me.

Really? Me?

What else could I have not told you?

I heard hornets hibernate in winter.

What's your point?

Why did you say you got stung by a hornet?

This is insane.

I never said that.

When I came to my senses at the hospital,

the rumor had already spread
like that. And I just let it be.

Then…

That's right.

I wasn't stung by a hornet that day.

Have the seizures decreased lately?

Yes, they've improved a lot.

But you must take your
medication consistently every day.

If the convulsions persist,
take this one more time.

Yes.

I explained to your mother about the
additional prescription the doctor gave you.

Goodbye

It's not about being ashamed.

Back then, that was my complex.

I kept it secret that I was
taking epilepsy medication.

Actually, I didn't want to appear
weak in front of Mi Jeong.

It would be nice if we could
attend college together later.

Ik Jong! Ik Jong!

Snap out of it!

Ik Jong!

Ik Jong, why are you acting like this suddenly?

Hey, what's going on? Why is he like this?

I don't know.

I think he got stung by a hornet.

A hornet?

What kind of hornet appears in midwinter?

Help him sit.

Since Mi Jeong lied for me,
I was grateful, but still

I never asked her to do that.

Then why did you act like it was
something caused by Park Mi Jeong?

Did you sacrifice her to hide your shame?

I heard you even spread that
rumor yourself during university.

Do you know

how much that rumor tormented Park Mi Jeong?

That's exactly it.

But do you believe that rumor?

Does that seem like just a rumor to you?

What?

Park Mi Jeong truly is a witch.

According to the laws I
hypothesized, you should

have died either by lightning strike
or drowning, by any means necessary.

You broke all those laws.

You stayed in the same space
with Park Mi Jeong for long periods,

held lengthy conversations,
and Park Mi Jeong knew your name.

Besides, you also

confessed to Park Mi Jeong.

Despite all that, you're still alive.

Wait.

I confessed to Mi Jeong?

- You did confess.
- Me?

When did I confess to her?

[Seongmun Comprehensive English Summary]

Why do you have this notebook?

[Cheonhyo 2nd Street, Number 9]

[Seongmun Comprehensive English Summary]

[Lim Ik Jong]

[When you get tired, SMILE. I always remember this
while studying. I'll wait in Seoul. I like you, Park Mi Jeong.]

You survived despite breaking all the laws.

Then, there's only one possibility.

The possibility that you
didn't fulfill the major premise.

Dong Jin…

No, explain this in a way I can understand.

You! Did you actually like Park Mi Jeong?

How childish! Why keep bringing up the past?

Was it genuine?

Did I really…

[When you get tired, SMILE. I always remember this
while studying. I'll wait in Seoul. I like you, Park Mi Jeong.]

I must have written this because I liked her.

Does this look like a joke to you?

Why do you think I wanted to
hide my epilepsy from Mi Jeong?

Because I liked her too back then.

It's unfair.

What did you say?

I became this mess just wanting
to exchange one word with her.

You still don't understand?

The reason only you escaped the laws?

You don't deserve to have
Park Mi Jeong's variable.

Then, do you

think you're qualified?

Did Park Mi Jeong perhaps ask you
to help her or make any request?

Well…

If the hypothesis you established is true,

then you could die too, right?

Stop now, Dong Jin.

It's really dangerous for you right now.

♫ I just wanted to say this ♫

♫ Hi, are you doing well? I'm doing fine, too ♫

♫ When the familiar silence
suddenly feels heavy ♫

♫ It's okay to speak with your eyes ♫

♫ It was really hard,

Her stalker.

If I stop here,

then I'm just another
stalker who made her suffer.

[Lim Ik Jong]

The variable was

her heart.

Only someone she loves can break the rules.

[Cheonhyo 2nd Street, Number 9]

There's only one way.

She must love me.

I'll bet everything on this final variable.

Ms. Park Mi Jeong,

it's me, the Hyomyung Mart delivery worker.

Delivery worker?

Lee Dong Jin, it was you.

I came because I really have something to say.

You were at Cheonho Bridge, right?

Are you feeling better?

I wanted to be helpful,

I'm truly sorry.

What are you talking about?

I came to say what I want to say.

I exercised a lot to strengthen my body.

I prepared so much.

Wait a second.

Don't do it.

Don't say anything.

And you.

You must have vaguely sensed it,
since it was your own matter.

Please stop.

But that…

It wasn't something that
happened because of you.

Go back.

Please.

I really wanted

to say this to you myself.

This is a gift from friends in Taebaek.

And,

there's something I want
to say by risking my life,

but I won't say it today.

Mi Jeong,

now do what you want to do.

It's still okay.

It's really okay.

♫ If this love ends ♫

♫ If happiness comes ♫

♫ Even the small happiness coming to me ♫

♫ I'll give it all to you ♫

I've used more than ten phrases again.

[Pause timer]

The road ahead is long.

Shall I go?

I told you.

Your patterns are simple.

My name is Heo Eun Sil.

What brings you here?

Lee Dong Jin is missing.

He might be dead… Your friend Lee Dong Jin?

[Lee Dong Jin: I'm going to her.]

It's our house.

Why are you eating alone? It's no fun.

Kim Jung Hyuk, you are Kim Jung Hyuk, right?

Hey, why are you eating alone? It's no fun.

Aren't corpses going to pop out any moment?

He kept insisting it had to be this house.

What could this be?

Shine on you?

[Translator: Park Mi Jeong]
Could this be a coincidence?
