The Harmonium in My Memory Page #2

Now, where's the newspaper...

Oh, Mr. Cho

Yes...

Could you please help me here?

Yes, ma'am...

Oh, Mr. Cho.

Hold on a sec.

Journal Time

Class, I got a look at

your compositions.

Everyone works hard but still

have many mistakes.

So I got this idea.

You will have a chance

to write in your journals everyday.

Aahh, come on!

Do you want to be someone who

can't even write a decent letter?

No-o-o!

Then, you must listen to what I say.

Now, now, settle down. You must

write in your journals everyday.

Don't wait until the last minute.

OK?

Yes, teacher!

If you do this well,

I will tell you stories about

Seoul and other fairy tales.

Tell us now!

OK, I'll tell you about

the young man that got married...

Once upon a time...

I experienced

a dramatic story in Seoul...

The full moon

always makes me so sad.

I wonder if teacher's

looking at the same moon?

What's with you girl?

Actually doing homework!

Ay, Suha just put

your laundry in the hamper!

No, that's OK, I've got it.

Oh no. What if your students

see you? Go on in.

It's all right. I can do it.

For heaven's sake,

go for a walk to town or something.

Let me help you for this

Teacher told

a really good story today.

He's such a good storyteller...

Our teacher is so generous.

Other classes are jealous

as their teachers are monsters.

I can't wait until tomorrow,

the night is too long.

Good morning.

Hello.

Hello, Miss Yang.

Good morning.

"They drift like snowflakes...

smell the scent of flowers

look at each other and smile"

Teacher pinched my arm today.

I was surprised to red.

I felt so strange walking home.

Why did he pinch me?

What does it mean?

I can't understand.

"Three times eight is twenty-four,

three times nine is twenty-seven..."

Excuse me.

Mr. Kang!

Have you seen Miss Yang's class?

Miss Yang!

Come over here! Miss Yang!

All the other students

are busy cleaning,

Why's your class getting haircuts?

We've finished our

spring cleaning, sir.

You haven't waxed the floors,

they must shine!

It's clean.

Why does it need to shine?

The school inspector

will be here tomorrow!

Is he coming to inspect the floors?

No, that's just common courtesy.

Mr. Choi, I'll take full

responsibility with

regards to the floor.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I've got hair to cut.

Wait a second! Miss Yang!

That pigheaded little...

Mr. Kang! Mr. Kang!

Are you waiting for someone?

Teacher, why did you pinch me?

I can't forget it.

I think about it when I study,

when I walk home.

teacher, what did it mean?

Please tell me.

I think and I think and

I can't figure it out.

Mommy, mommy!

Why you despicable girl!

Subtract twenty-three wons,

add ninety-four wons...

Hongyeon, are you feeling all right?

I'm fine.

It's fine for a boy to

pee from the living room.

Why do boys get all the break.

I hate boys.

I really do.

But ma only takes

his side because he's a boy.

Anyhow, I feel better now

that I pinched him real hard.

I hate our rooster.

The hen lays the egg and

he crows like he did all the work.

I hate him...

School's no fun.

I'm sick of my friends.

What's the point with

school or graduating?

Mongdol, didn't you bring any lunch?

Here have mine.

Something I ate for breakfast...

I'm not very hungry.

Here have it.

Yoon, Hongyeon!

Answer me when I call you!

Yes

Why aren't you eating?

I'm not hungry

You should eat something.

I'm all right.

Hongyeon

Mr. Kang!

Here you are!

I've been looking for you.

Go on home...

Aren't you sick

of boardinghouse food?

I brought some side dishes,

please try some.

No, I'm fine.

The kids are cleaning themselves

before physical exams!

When I think of Mongdol last year,

I still lose my appetite.

Raise your head. Come on kid, go.

Clean under your fingernails!

What are these, your toenails?

You eat 3 times a day

not even a toothbrushing?

Mongdol!

When was your last shower?

Where's Hongyeon?

Hongyeon?

You're maturing into a woman!

Yes, just a minute.

Miss Yang!

What is it?

Uhh...

We're here to take the class'

stool samples!

Go ahead!

I listened to the LP you lent me.

Connie Francis, "My Heart Has

a Mind of Its Own" is good.

I asked a friend of mine

to send it to me.

He is helpful. Well,

I'll lend it to you when I get it.

Thanks.

No, I should thank you. Hahaha.

"elp"..."elp"...

I can't do it. It's not coming out!

Try harder. Or else,

a week of bathroom cleaning!

What about you?

It's not coming out because

I went this morning.

Does anyone live near Hongyeon?

Did Hongyeon tell you

she would miss school today?

Oh, did everyone bring

a stool sample?

What's going on?

Teacher, it's Nanhee!

What's wrong?

Hongyeon's absent again!

Teacher, Hongyeon's not coming

to school ever.

Why, what's wrong with her?

I don't know.

She just doesn't want to she said.

What's she doing then?

Just laying on her stomach all day.

Why, is she sick?

What's she doing?

Nothin'. She just lies there like a frog.

She's just playing hooky.

How much further?

We're almost there.

Yoon, Hongyeon, Teacher's here!

Ay, Teacher!

What brings you all the way here.

I don't know what's got

into that girl.

Why won't she go to school.

She drove me crazy!

Ma'am, where is she?

She was here.

Where is this wretched girl?

She's hiding in the back.

What are you doing there?

Hongyeon, why've you been absent?

Why're you behaving like that?

OK, kids. Go on home now.

Ma'am, could I talk

to her alone, please?

Sure, sure!

Mr. Kang, if she don't listen

to you, just beat her...

Hongyeon!

Hongyeon

Hongyeon, look at me.

I came all the way here

and you won't talk to me.

Didn't you hear your mother

telling me to beat you?

But I would never hit you...

Hongyeon?

But you must come to school.

I was worried about you.

I thought you were sick.

Even in an accident.

Well, I'll expect you

in school tomorrow.

It's not the same without...

Wow, these cherries sure are ripe.

"My heart is beating,

you're the one who knows"

Some girl student of yours

left them here

I asked her name and her grade

but she didn't answer.

A big girl I might add.

"Come closer..."

Thanks for the cherries.

Here, let me help you!

No, I've got it.

It's too heavy for you!

No, I'm Ok

Come on, let's go.

I can carry it.

Someone will see us!

So what?

No.

You go ahead.

Geez!

Ladies and Gentlemen

Prepare yourselves

for the time of your lives!

"We're not fake medicine men,

we don't ruin your white skin

with poisonous potions,

we give you laughter and tears..."

My prince, how can we forget

our parents' war by running away?

Who's there?

Is that you, Hongyeon?

Hello!

What are you doing there?

Are you here to see the play?

Aren't you scared?

Sitting here alone...

Hongyeon?

I'm not scared.

Really? Have a seat.

That sure is a full moon!

Hongyeon,

were you waiting for someone?

No?

Why are you laughing?

You're so foolish!

Darn mosquito...

You scared me! It's just...

a mosquito!

That's one big mosquito!
