Summer Whispers

Professor!

What brings you here?

You are dawdling along during the summer break, huh?

That's not true!

Could you give me those papers I asked you to summarize?

Ah... yes.

Are all those papers on your desk confidential?

Excuse me?

Your desk is so messy that no one could find anything!

I'm sorry. I'll neaten my desk.

Here it is.

By the way...

I have to go to the U.S. This summer

so I have a favor to ask. I'd like you to stop by my house today.

- What time is good for you? - Anytime is alright with me.

Well, anytime isn't alright with me. Tell me the time.

How about two o'clock?

What happened?

He saw me coming to school late.

I've never been late before except for today.

I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night

because the students in the next room made so much noise.

I really wanna get out of the dorm.

There is a spare room in my house. Move into my house.

At this rate, I'm not sure if I can finish graduate school.

Just hang in there and try to please him. He'll retire soon.

Doesn't he seem broken down in spirit lately?

As he gets closer to retirement, he must be getting softer.

Not at all, he's just gotten pickier since his wife passed away.

That's life...

but you could be kinder to him.

He's been helpful to you ever since you were an undergraduate.

And smile, OK?

"Ms. Shin, don't you know how to smile?"

By the way, you will definitely go, right?

Of course. Going on a trip like this has been my dream.

I'll go for sure!

Good heavens!

My pocket calendar! See ya!

Hey!

Jeon-dong Wansan-gu, Jeonju Jeollabuk-do Sugyeong Lee

Are you interested in plants, too?

Come on in.

In the beginning, I tried to organize them

but I've been just putting them away lately, and they are a mess now...

This job could take all summer.

I'm thinking of donating my books after I retire.

I'd like to donate specialized books to school.

And donate the rest to other places.

I'd like you to sort them out.

Professor... I think...

I will pay you when I come back.

Ah... yes.

That's all. You can go now.

If you have a cold, take some medication right away.

I don't have a cold...

Dungchi the Cat

Oh... you're leaving now?

Yes. Sorry to bother you, but would you keep this key, please?

Of course.

You must be very excited to see your son.

Yes.

Summer is really here.

Hey, Dungchi! Come here.

Did you take a bath?

Dungchi! As you seem bored why don't we play together, huh?

I don't know why...

From some time ago leaves started to turn yellow and withered.

You shouldn't have put them in the sun like this.

Even a healthy plant would get sick.

Throw them away.

These are very precious but ohh... All dead!

Oh my... A virus.

Once it gets a virus there is no other way.

Just burn it.

What? Burn it? Virus?

My wife grew orchids for more than 30 years

but never lost any like this

Do you make fun of me just because I don't know anything about orchids?

If you don't know about plants, just give up.

Thanks for your help.

Tell my wife I'll be late.

What brings you here?

If you have something good I'd like to buy it.

Just take good care of the ones that have survived.

Obviously, just keeping them alive is a challenge to you.

I tried to grow them without even losing a single stem.

They are part of my family

so I couldn't just give them away.

Now they are gone and...

the house feels empty.

You have a cat now?

Sometime back my neighbor gave him to me.

Cute, huh?

Why don't you raise this cat?

His name is Dungchi. He is healthy and mild-tempered.

I will give him to you.

Good...

Don't touch it.

I will just stop by the flower garden for a minute and then drive you home.

They helped me a lot when I was worried about how to manage the flower shop

after the sudden death of my grandmother

To tell the truth, I was not interested in this stuff

until my grandma passed away...

Whew... Whenever I try to bathe him, he does this.

Hey, look at the filthy water!

Why are you so dirty? Listen to your mom. Go and wash.

Mansu said he would be a little late.

He is drinking again.

With the kids, I am pooped out, but once he goes out he never returns.

Yoonsu!

Hey, where have you been? I just bathed you!

Wow... It's a kitty!

Yeah!

Cute.

Is it a boy or girl?

- I think it's a boy. - He has unique looks.

Who is he?

A professor I know. Give these to the kids.

Leaving already?

I'm steaming some corns. Why don't you wait and have some?

I gotta go... next time.

Hey guys I will get one for you later.

- Really? - For sure?

One prettier than this.

Uncle, don't go now

Lots of kids.

They aren't my sister's own kids.

When she found out that she can't have babies, she adopted them.

You idiot. How could you sort these books in 15 days?

You are insane.

If you help me a little I can do it.

Shin Yeongjo! Do you know how many dishes

I had to wash to save for the trip?

You know my situation.

And I plan to move out of the dorm next semester.

I can't stay there any longer because of the noise.

I don't care. Anyway you must go. You take care of it.

Wow! I didn't know he had such elegant taste.

How meticulous! It reveals his character.

He told me that it was his wife who grew them.

You have to take care of these, too?

No. Perhaps he asked someone else to take care of them.

He used to miss camping trips because of the orchids,

but now he went to the U.S.

- To whom? - I don't know.

By the way, any news from the pervert?

Ah... He didn't write back to me.

I knew it when he gave you the diaper bag.

Isn't he a little weird?

But, why doesn't he respond?

Why do you keep writing when you don't get an answer?

He must be the professor's son. Cool

He must have gotten his good looks from his mother.

His looks are just my type.

What's this? There's a cat in this house?

Not just a regular cat. He's almost a wild cat.

- He is so cute. - Where are you going? Hey!

Meow~

Here it is.

What are you doing? Go away!

He is so docile.

Lock him up here, but make sure to feed him regularly.

I'm sure he can't open the door.

Strange... He wasn't here last time.

Hey!

Say hello to him. This is my line producer.

- Hello! - Oh, hi!

This is the friend who introduced me to the flower garden.

He promised to help us when we shoot.

He is well-known in the film world.

Hey! You're flattering me. You are so...

I will look up to you as my mentor.

You'd better prepare to make your debut, wouldn't you?

Oh, how can I do it without your help?

Alright, you should become a box office hit director like Steven Spielberg.

Isn't his Star Wars wonderful? The laser sword!

George Lucas directed Star Wars.

Yeah, right. I got confused.

You know, Richard Gere, the hero in Star Wars,

is getting hotter as he gets older.

The star of the movie is Harrison Ford.

Hey, Jeongsik!

The star in Star Wars is Richard Gere, right?

No, it is Harrison Ford...

Mr. Line producer let's have a drink.

- O... okay. - Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Practically no one among the younger generation runs a flower shop.

It's unusual.

Ah... Thank you.

Here, Yoon...

- Yoonsu. - Yoonsu!
