It just happened once, but...

I couldn't erase that memory

The more I tried, the more

it reminded me of him

If only he hadn't been

in my sight

They say, 'out of sight,

out of mind'

But he wasn't intended

to be out of my sight

I cried and laughed like crazy

But the suffering is

driving me to death

But even the suffering

is beautiful

I recall a moment when

I was very young

It might be the very

first memory of mine

I was too young to

remember how old I was

Three?

Maybe four?

I guess mom was sick

So my older sister

was taking care of me

We're seven years apart

In the living room,

the red curtains are

drawn closed

But through a slight opening,

the sunlight is seeping in

Now I can see half

of my sister's face

The other half is hidden

in the shadows

I think she dressed

me in pretty clothes

''Mija, come here. Come here''

She is saying, clapping

her hands

I am tottering to her

Although I was so little,

I knew my sister loved me...

as she told me to come to her

I felt so good

And so happy

'I am really pretty'...

was how I felt

''Mija, come here''

''Hurry over here, Mija''

Thank you

What brings you here?

You're all wet from the rain

Give me the keys

to the 3rd floor

Are you coming back to work?

What changed your mind?

I thought you'd never come back

What are you looking for?

Take this

Now

Ah, here she comes

-Thank you

-You're welcome

Well hello, ma'am!

Yes, hello

You're Wook's grandma, right?

Yes. And who are you?

I write for the 'Kyungkang Times'

It must be hard for you

these days, right?

Well, it's okay

Let's see

Why don't we sit over here

You look amazing, ma'am

How nice of you

How are the settlements going?

Not that great, I guess

How come?

Is the victim's side refusing

your amount?

I don't know for sure, but...

the girl's mom doesn't

want to settle, I guess

I see, the girl's mom...

With a case like that, it's

usually money problems

But are there reasons

other than money?

-I don't know, but...

-Yes?

What's wrong?

No, I can't...

You can't, what?

What's the matter?

Please sit for a moment, ma'am

No!

I just have a few more

questions. Wait!

'We're trying to settle

with the girl's mom,

but she's refusing'

Is that what you said?

I don't f***ing believe this

Didn't we tell you to

watch your mouth?

That guy from finally got his tip...

after sniffing out the school and

police station almost every day

She didn't say anything

specific yet

But it's never late to move now

If only the girl's mom keeps

quiet, we'll be okay

There's not much time

Come later, okay?

I'm in an important meeting

How about meeting

the girl's mom yourself?

-Who me?

-Yes

You go meet and persuade

the girl's mom

What could I say to her?

I can't do it

Just plead with her

heart-to-heart

Woman-to-woman

You can be better than us

Right, sounds like a plan

A poor old lady, raising

her grandson alone pleads...

woman-to-woman

Shedding a little tears

Yes, let's do that

Ma'am

Meet her immediately

I'll drive you there, tomorrow

Call me when you're done

I'll come to pick you up

I'll take the bus. There

I see a bus stop

I can get home by myself

Anyway, call me if you need a

ride. Do a good job

Everything depends on you now

You do understand?

Yes

Your outfit stands out too much

It really doesn't fit in with

the neighborhood

Then what should I do?

Should I go back?

I can come again in

different clothes

You can't just leave now

Your words hold the key

Don't say anything

to upset her, okay?

You grasp the situation, right?

I'll try

Excuse me

Is anyone there?

Where did everyone go?

Are you here for someone?

I guess everyone's out?

The gate was open so I invited

myself in, but no one's here

The mom's out in the fields

What brings you here?

I have to talk to her

She'll be back around sunset

Why don't you go to

the fields to find her

Where's that?

Over there you'll find

a plastic greenhouse

Go past it and there's a field

near a brook. She'll be there

How fussy you are

THE APRICOT THROWS ITSELF

TO THE GROUND:

IT IS CRUSHED AND TRAMPLED

FOR ITS NEXT LIFE

Hello

Yes, hello

Isn't the weather nice?

Yes, the weather's being helpful

This place is quite nice

The scenery is so beautiful

It makes me want to live here

It's not an easy place

to live though

I found an apricot

on my way here

Many have fallen to the ground

I took a bite and

it tasted quite good

Fallen apricots have

a better taste

The one still on trees

are too puckery to eat

Yes, you're right

It tasted good

When I saw the apricots

on the ground,

I thought they were

full of yearning

Throwing themselves

to the ground...

be crushed and trampled on,

they prepare for their next life

For the first time, I realized

this about apricots

There were also garden zinnias

growing near the apricot trees

And how pretty they

fall to the ground

I felt so blessed to

walk in such beauty

I love flowers so much, I get

happy just to see them

Gazing at flowers

makes me feel full...

that I don't even need to eat

You must like flowers

cause you're pretty

You think I'm pretty?

Why thank you

I do like to dress up a bit

How's the crop coming along

this year?

It's so so

I hope it's a good harvest,

so you'll earn a lot

Prices will drop on a good year,

while it's as tough on a bad year

Nothing's easy, you know?

Yes, but...

I hope everything goes well

Then...

have a good day

-Yes, goodbye

-Bye

Well...

I...

couldn't meet her

No one was home

So I left after waiting

for a while

I'm sorry

Excuse me?

I'm sorry because...

I just returned without

meeting her

Die...

as you love

To the point that the Vairocana

Buddha...

hangs suspended...

by a finger

Die as you wait

To the point that

the Amitabha Buddha...

severs its head

to use as a pillow

Until dawn passes...

the iron bell for

offerings to Buddha...

does not ring

I sit by the columns of

Buseok Temple...

throughout my life

Unable to offer you even

one bowl of rice

But within a tear, I build a

temple and then tear it down

Above a rock hanging in the sky,

I build a temple

'Die as you Love'

Yes, I'd like to die as I love

It's a poem that

hits you strong...

like when you take

a cold shower

Next is...

Mr. PARK Sangtae who will

read AHN Dohyun's poem

I ask you

This is the title of the poem

Do not even dare kick at

the ashes of burnt coal

Have you ever been...

a burning person to another?

That's the end

It's a good poem

cause it's short

The emcee mentioned shower

The recent heat wave makes you

shower everyday, right?

Well I did some research

on showers

Do you know the

No

You don't?

The five stages are...

Stage 1

Take shower!

Stage 2

Spread-eagle!

Stage 3

Get boner!

Next is...

Plug into!

And last but not least...

Oh, thank, yer!

Thank you very much

Good health requires occasional

physical stimulation

I'm out of the hospital

and back at work

If you every visit

the police station,
