Hatsuyuki No Koi: Virgin Snow Page #2

---

The beginning for anything

is the most important.

Okay.

Now, let's do it.

'Hello'.

Konnichiwa

'Hello.'

'I'm Yamada Keiko.'

'I'm Yamada Keiko.'

'I'm Nanae.'

'It's nice to meet you.'

'It's nice to meet you.'

It's nice to meet you.

'It's nice to meet you.'

'It's a great day.'

A promise made with

fingers seems

much stronger than

with words.

I didn't want to study for myself,

but now I'm studying for Nanae.

I study Japanese and pottery.

Nanae studies

Korean and painting.

It was the beginning

of our beautiful summer.

'Tsuyu' is over.

'Tsuyu?'

What is 'tsuyu?'

'Tsuyu' is

rain much much.

- Rain much much.

- Rain much much.

Rain much much is

'Jangma' in Korean.

How do you pronounce it?

- Pronounce?

- Pronounce.

- It's pronounced 'Jang'.

- 'Jang'.

- 'Ma'.

- 'Ma'.

- 'Jang'.

- 'Jang'.

- 'Ma'.

- 'Jangma'.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Nanae.

Yuri, what's wrong?

Come home quickly.

What happened?

I'm scared.

That man is beating mom.

Okay,

I'll be there in a minute.

I'm sorry... I home...

'Kaeru.'

'Kaeru?'

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Nanae!

Nanae!

Nanae,

hurry!

Stop it! Please stop!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Stop it.

I'll kill you!

Why didn't you listen to me!

Stop it, please!

Get off of me!

Yuri.

Stop it.

You b*tches!

I'll call the police!

Stop it.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

Let's go outside, huh?

Come on.

Nothing could compare

to Nanae's smile.

But I felt the loneliness

behind her smile.

I should've...

asked her then the reason

for her loneliness.

Do you want to go on that?

That boat.

They break up.

I mean in the legend.

If a couple takes a ride in the boat,

they will break up.

So if a couple rides on the boat,

they will break up?

There's something like that

in Seoul, too.

'Doldam' street.

'Doldam' street by Deoksu Palace.

'Dorudam' street.

If a couple walks on Doldam street,

they will break up.

If they go on a date on the first

snowfall, the couple will be happy.

First snowfall? Date?

First snowfall and date,

then happiness.

'Shiawase?'

Yes, 'Haengbok.'

'Haengboku.'

The boat is minus.

And the Doldam street is

minus, too.

Minus and minus is plus.

So let's walk on Doldam street

on the first snowfall.

Promise.

Promise.

In Korean style, we stamp...

Sign like this and copy...

Copy.

Let's go.

This is my favorite place

in Kyoto.

Your favorite?

Memory note.

People write down

what they want on the note.

I wish

that time would stop now.

Yuri!

No! No!

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

Please get out of here.

Please get out.

I beg you! Please get out!

You didn't press the air

out of the mud.

Still don't get it?

It's because I have no time!

Start again with the kneading.

Hello?

Where were you?

I've called you many times.

Why? What's wrong?

I'm at Incheon Airport now.

Incheon Airport? Why?

Your grandmother

suddenly fainted.

Grandmother? Why?

Is she okay?

She's over the critical stage.

She wants to see you

very much.

Okay. Dad,

tell her that I'm coming

to see her very soon.

Okay, come as soon as

possible.

Alright.

Hello.

You look pretty.

Kimono?

Yukata.

Yukata.

Present for

the 100th day anniversary.

It's my first work of porcelain.

You made this?

Charm.

Don't open it yet.

Not now.

Min.

What's wrong?

Nanae!

Nanae!

Min!

Nanae!

Min,

you gave me courage.

You gave me laughter.

And I want to be

with you forever.

But I can't see you any more.

What?

My promise to paint

on your porcelain...

I want to keep that promise.

I can't hear you!

Along with

the promise that we will walk

on Doldam street together.

But...

Good-bye.

Don't open it now.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Grandma,

are you all right?

You came

all the way from Japan?

Of course, to see you.

You didn't have to do this.

Come on, mom.

You were dying to see him.

Was I?

Anyway, what's that there?

What?

Oh, you bought this for me

from Japan?

Oh, yes.

Thank you so much.

- It's pretty, isn't it?

- Yes, so lovely.

One, two, three, four.

- Hey.

- Hey, what's up?

Been a long time.

Practicing hard, I see.

- Here you are.

- Thanks.

By the way,

how's your grandmother?

She's gotten much better.

Can you wait for me a bit

until I finish practicing?

We have a lot to catch up on.

Of course, I will.

Go and finish.

- Okay, wait for me.

- Sure.

The number you have dialed is

not in service.

Please check the number

and call again.

Hello?

Min?

Kojima.

What happened to Nanae?

Even Kaori doesn't know

what happened to her.

Nothing? Even Kaori?

Yeah, someone visited her home,

But she'd moved...

What?

Move the house...

For sale

Move?

I mean she's gone.

She's gone.

She seems to have

suddenly moved away.

Even her friends

can't reach her.

You're bleeding.

I just fell from the bike.

She's gone.

Two years later, Kobe

Nanae!

Nanae is that really you?

Yes.

- You...

- You go to Kobe University?

No need for that now.

Let's talk about it later.

Why'd you vanish

all of a sudden?

I'm sorry.

My parents used to love

each other so much.

But ever since my father

died in an accident,

my mom started

acting strange.

Hurry up.

She drank out of depression

and loneliness.

Then she met a violent man,

and got hurt by

him even more.

She turned into a totally

different person.

Please get out.

I felt that if we had stayed longer,

someone would die.

That's why.

Are you okay now?

Yes, he's in jail now

because of another crime.

Then...

what about your mom?

She's under medical treatment.

She's gotten much better.

Did you hear about Min?

He went back to Korea

at the start of the second semester.

He said that he had

no more reason to be in Japan.

Thank you.

Good-bye.

Nanae!

Nanae!

Here you are.

Why didn't you

finish the porcelain?

When will you paint on it?

Are you still in bed?

Oh yeah,

your show's today, right?

Where was it?

The City Gallery.

Yeah, Deoksu Palace.

I'll be waiting.

Nanae, this way, please.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Congratulations on

your acceptance.

Thank you.

Nanae, can you speak Korean?

Nanae, can you speak Korean?

- No.

- She said 'no'.

Where are the places

in your paintings?

Where are the places

in your paintings?

It's Kyoto.

It's my favorite place.

Min!

It's been a long time.

How have you been?

Why are you here?

Did you come to see me?

No.

My paintings...

Paintings?

I thought so.

What am I doing here?

Min, Korean is too hard for me.

Can you speak

Japanese for me?

Japanese?

I don't know Japanese at all.

Ever since you left me

without a word,

I don't care to know

any Japanese.

Rain.

Rain.

Very lucky?

I don't believe in this any more.

With all my thanks.

From Nanae.

Who made this?

Me.

I did.

This seems to be yours.

Min,

I can't see you for a while.

But for the times

We've been together,

I've been very happy.

I wish I could stay with

you forever.

But I have to leave

Kyoto today.

Please take care

until the day we meet again.
