it's better for you to quit."

How could you?

What?

How can you tell me to quit?

You don't care at all, do you?

What did I say?

"Why would I stress out about it

if I'm just going to quit?"

Is quitting that easy to you?

"A friend should take my side

and pat my back."

But you act all high and mighty?

"I can never talk to you!

You don't listen!"

You're frustrating!

So suffocating!

What's with her?

She'll come around.

But it bothers me.

This isn't like you.

"Remember when you were

bullied in grade 4?"

Me?

You don't remember?

I was really surprised by you.

"Other kids would've cried

and had a hard time."

"But you didn't care

and just let them be."

"It's like you ignored them

instead of them leaving you out."

Soon, they stopped bullying you.

Really?

"I thought you were cool.

Don't remember?"

Not really.

"It was Yong-hyun, Min-seok,

and Soon-chun."

Yong-hyun is a farmer here.

"Soon-chun runs a pizza shop

in Seoul."

I wonder what Min-seok is up to.

I remembered.

Mom? Kids are bullying me.

What?

Why?

I don't know.

"They don't answer me

or let me play with them."

Just leave them.

What?

If you respond to that,

"they'll get excited

and do it more."

What?

"I'm upset, but you talk

as if it is nothing!"

You should console me!

"Know what those bullies

want the most?"

To see you sad.

So, if you don't get sad,

you win!

Turn around.

Number 21, please.

Hey!

What's this?

La joie de vivre crme brulee.

Crme brulee for short.

Here.

Hit it!

Mom was like a magician.

"A magician who can change

my mood instantly."

This is called crme brulee.

Crme brulee.

"I created it.

It's actually called,."

La joie de vivre crme brulee.

"But I shortened it to crme brulee

just for you."

Crme brulee-lee-lee-lee.

Brulee-lee-lee?

Village chief here.

There's a heat wave warning again.

"While Granny Kim Yong-lae

picked peppers yesterday afternoon,"

"she fell from heatstroke

and almost died."

"Please refrain from farming

in daytime and drink lots of water."

Thank you.

Stop!

"I'm watering the jujube tree.

Look!"

I'm hot.

"I'm fine sitting still like this.

There's a nice breeze."

"- What breeze?

- Oh my!"

What's with all the weed?

"You can't tell

if it's a melon field or not."

I'll pluck the weed later.

"Why do it later?

It's best to do it now."

"- Don't muck around and work!

- Yes, ma'am."

Granny didn't pass away, did she?

Why would my mom die so soon?

"Why don't you call her?

Stop being so stubborn."

"She was against me marrying your dad,

so I stormed out"

saying I'll prove her wrong.

I can totally picture it.

Don't you want to date again?

Just wondering.

I hope it's not because of me...

You've matured.

It is because of me?

"If I wanted to date,

I would have."

"I dated long enough with your dad,

I don't miss it at all."

Do you miss dad?

"Even if it's thrown like that,

tomatoes will grow next year."

It's amazing.

"In order for it to grow

just by throwing it like that,"

"it must be a ripe tomato

grown outdoors with plenty of sun."

She meant she missed him.

Tomatoes are weak to rain.

"If it rains too much, the stem

turns brown and withers."

"It's a hit or miss

to grow tomatoes outdoors."

It's a miss this year.

Are there snails around you?

I don't see any here.

Hae-won! How much did you catch?

You wanna see?

Ow! My eyes!

There's a lot here!

There's a lot here too!

Did that to your boyfriend too?

What?

Stare at him when he's eating?

Why do you ask?

Just because.

Is it uncomfortable?

Sometimes it's uncomfortable.

You retard!

"What girl makes lunch

for her boyfriend these days?"

"That's only on TV, pal.

No one does that."

I wish she'd study instead.

Don't complain, pal.

I stopped after that.

He was probably bragging.

But I felt horrible.

That's why you broke up?

What?

We didn't break up.

Why'd you break up?

Who says I did?

Eun-sook.

Why would she..!

You know,

I came back here and she's there.

You're so cool about it.

No. I cried a lot.

Really?

I balled when we broke up.

"Leaving Seoul wasn't hard,

but leaving her was painful."

I really liked her a lot.

"What did you say

when you broke up?"

"That I didn't want

to take orders from others."

Were you drunk?

Working for a company,

"there was nothing

I could decide on my own."

"I had no time to think

or live a life."

"Just waiting for payday

to come around..."

Suddenly, it hit me.

"Seeing myself live like that,

I felt like I'd go crazy."

So, what did she say?

What?

"She didn't believe me.

She said good luck with the b*tch."

I'm here!

What did she bring?

"What are you doing?

Having fun?"

Don't have fun without me!

It's slippery here!

"- What's that?

- So heavy!"

"I stole it while my dad

went into town!"

If you get caught, you're dead!

"I'll just fill it up with water.

There's lots here!"

"Why'd you bring that?

To drink it all?"

Yes! Let's drink till we drop!

Why?

"My damn manager isn't moving

to another branch now!"

"I put up with him because

I thought he'd be gone soon."

"I'm so mad!

I don't know what to do!"

Give me a cup.

"No one leaves

until we finish this!"

Hey.

It's not balloon flower root.

Dad used to farm bodark trees.

Gross!

"- Bodark?

- Come on."

"- Bodark bark!

- Stop it!"

Bodark bark! Woof!

Don't spit on me! Gross!

Hoon?

I was going to call you.

It's been a while.

I know.

I've been meaning to say this.

To break up?

That too.

I know it's really late,

"but congratulations

on your exam."

Thanks.

"I don't remember

what I said after that."

But I remember one thing.

"I said I didn't leave for here,

but that I came back."

Yes! I won!

AUTUMN:

"- Hey!

- Hi."

"- Withdrew money?

- Yup."

Anything left in your balance?

My balance is a lot! Not.

"Don't go to loan sharks

if you're empty."

"- Come to me, okay?

- Sure."

"- They're scary!

- I know."

"Should we call Jae-ha

and eat out in town?"

He's working. Why call him?

"Did you tell Jae-ha

that you like him yet?"

"After everything I did,

he should know."

"If you don't say anything,

how would he know?"

Don't start preaching again.

Got that?

"They don't know

if you just keep quiet and patient."

"You have to spit it out

or it'll rot inside you."

"- See ya.

- Bye!"

"That's what I told her,

but I couldn't do it either."

"This card was denied, sir.

Do you have cash or another card?"

"Who carries cash around

these days?"

I just used it at another store!

"Swipe it again!

Call the manager out!"

I just took it in.

You good for nothing twerp!

"Stop wasting company money

and work for your pay!"

"What kind of irresponsible dork

are you!"

What?

What are you doing?

I didn't reject it like Jae-ha.

You are my special love.

"I'd cross the Pacific

and Atlantic oceans for you."

If you call me, I'll run to you.

"Eun-sook's not one

to keep things bottled up."

"She hit her manager's head

with a tambourine before payday."

"Luckily, she got her pay and

the manager went to another branch."
