The Handmaiden Page #2

No, I haven't.

But my aunt...

She's the one who told me.

My Aunt was his nanny.

What has he said about me?

He says that he can't help but think of your beautiful face before sleeping.

Why does he think about it before sleeping?

What happened to your feet?

I don't have anywhere to go.

When I moved to Korean when I was 5, I never left.

But if you wear new shoes, the steps you take are all the same.

These shoes seem to fit you.

It's time for me to go practice.

I'll go alone.

What?

It's still raining.

At noon, come knock on the door.

Understand?

See you late-

What are these?

This is....

The former Mistress' house is so big. Why would she?

Maybe the house was too big so she went insane?

My new maid.

Snake... Snake.

Don't take another step.

You need to remember.

The snake is the limit.

A snake.

The Count?

Today?

So that's why you told me to go bathe.

My aunt said when you hear that guests will come, drop everything and go bathe the children.

The guests like the smell of a clean baby.

Miss, you are my baby.

My aunt also said, give the babies candy when they bathe.

To teach them that bath time is sweet.

What's wrong?

One of my teeth is sharp.

It keeps cutting me.

Ah

So this was the scent.

It's smooth now.

Hurry. Hurry.

Welcome.

Inviting me to the living room immediately as I arrive

this is really too cordial

Due to traveling

I dressed comfortably.

But don't worry,

during our painting lessons,

I will dress properly.

Are you Tamako?

Yes Count, please take good care of me.

It'll be hard for me to deal with you if you disservice me.

Understand?

For a Korean

you don't look so bad.

So...

Will you fulfill your duty?

Count Fujiwara

calls for your maid Tamako

to help him do something.

He asks you if it is alright?

You were looking for me, Count?

Come in.

People back home miss you a lot.

Saying Sook-Hee will become a better conman than her mother.

Who'd believe words from a lying conman like you?

It seems you and I have gotten closer, so whenever I make a move

come meet me separately

Understand?

The Mistress is so naive, if someone were to pull her nipple she wouldn't even know it.

Which is why you're at her side to help.

You need to remind that this is for me.

"Ever since the Count's arrival

your toenails have grown long so fast."

Talk and use those sorts of methods ok?

Here. A gift.

Oh my, how pretty.

After all, once you get sent to the asylum,

all these shall be mine.

Looking at you like this makes me feel uncomfortable

Have you ever seen such blue sapphires?

Let's see

This is not sapphire... but spinel.

It's alright though, Miss. Spinel is quite expensive too.

How do you know it's spinel...

My Aunt... I mean... Lady Minami taught me

But it's alright.

You shouldn't feel embarrassed.

Jewelers would get confused between both too.

Is that so?

Of all the clothes I've washed and help her worn

is there any prettier than this?

How nice would it be to let the rest have a look.

I really want everyone to see. I wonder what they'll say?

They'll probably say...

So attractive.

Too... too wonderful.

Simply magnificent.

Shameless bastard.

M-M-Magnificent.

I... I... I don"t know what to do.

I will even stutter like this.

and blush.

Only then will those rich fools believe.

Prepare to put your heart into it.

Do you understand?

Let's try

One. Two. Three.

Its all the Count's fault, he kept pouring wine and telling me to drink.

How do you feel?

It's very tight.

Miss, how did you survive wearing this?

You think this feels tight?

Miss. I'm gonna die!

Looking like this,

you could pass as a Lady.

The Count said something...

which I think I understand now.

Your face....

Every time before I sleep, I always remember.

Mistress. You really....

She's like a porcelain doll.

So many buttons

is to let me elated about taking this off?

Unbutton it, pull the string...

You'll see something

so sweet and supple.

If I were a thief

I would've already be reaching to caress it.

Miss, must you really marry your Uncle?

He raised me for this reason.

He knew sooner or later one day will need my inheritance.

There's a famous collector from France

who says he plans to auction off his library in a few days

If successful,

the income from his gold mines are far from enough

If it was me.

I would sell all the books and buy gold, not sell gold and buy books.

Right now, the Miss...

doesn't want to recite poetry in front of the bastard trying to get her inheritance.

The Count is making counterfeits

The Miss is waiting till 2 to begin her art lessons.

She waits and waits.

What a pity...

To think a fake Count like him can steal her heart

Count

I'm very sorry.

It's alright.

This peach....

should I redraw it and make it look more realistic?

Realistic?

Only if you stop looking at it as a plain object

Meaning perspective must be considered

For example, the peach is very juicy

Right in front of you, you're afraid

seeing the deeper meaning penetrate your inner most thoughts

Let's stop here for today.

Seems its ripe.

That fast?

Damn.

Do you know?

That ever since the Count's arrival, you've began to blush more often?

Me?

How did your mother pass away?

Not long after giving birth to me.

She went and hun-

Ah no...

Hung herself? Like my aunt.

Yes, that's right.

But before she passed away, she must've often hugged you.

Right?

My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me.

That's why it's no different than me killing her.

It would've been better if I wasn't born.

It's not a child's fault for being born

If she was still here

your mother would say

"I'm so lucky to have given birth to you before I died"

"I'm not burdened at all"

Did my mother cry before getting hanged?

Your mother.

has stolen a thousand times and only got caught once.

And because of that, died.

You ask if she cried?

No, she laughed.

Said she was very lucky to have been able to give birth to you before dying.

I wasn't burdened at all.

Please sit here for a bit.

I will go and pick mushrooms.

I'll make you hotpot tonight.

You don't like hotpot?

Let me come too.

I'll be back soon.

Before the rain.

Well done.

Oh, what a coincidence.

May I sit?

The Miss is sitting so shyly.

This conman is taking advantage of her.

The servants leave

to give the two privacy

The plan is going well, Sook-Hee.

Everyone is playing their part.

Damn.

You know, servants can't go in and out as they please!

Hey.

It would've been better if I hadn't come here.

I shouldn't have come here.

Tamako.

Are Hideko's paints ready?

Of course Count.

The watercolor and everything is...

Go change it to oil paint instead.

The weather today is suitable for oil painting.

There's a power outage, bring the lamps here.

Yes. Right away.

Hurry.

I need to remind myself

that I want to be rich.

and then travel somewhere far

eat foreign foods,

buy bright shiny things and...

most importantly

Forget about Hideko.

You didn't even notice or care to check up on me?
