Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (역도요정 김복주)

- Yes, Mom. - Hey Jae Yi, are you coming home late today?

- No, I won't be late. - Then remember the dumplings from before?

- Oh yes, you mean the dim sum? - Oh yes, that one.

- Okay, I'll buy it. - Alright then.

Yes.

Are you bored?

Do you want gum?

This is sugar-free, so no need to worry.

I don't think there's water in the car.

Ah, that's okay, that's okay. I can just hold my breath.

How slipshod I am, really!

Ah, the atmosphere was good too.

You waited a long time, right? I couldn't find a convenience store.

I did pull a warm drink from the vending machine.

Here.

Thank you, Doctor.

How is it? Are you all right?

Yes, I think so.

It's cold in the morning and evenings.

Your clothes are too thin.

It hasn't stopped yet. Try drinking some more.

Drink. It's okay to drink a lot.

Please drink more.

Episode 6 - If the Tail is Long, it Will Get Stepped on or Captured.

I first started swimming when I was eleven.

To the lonely, unfamiliar and uneasy me, water

was like a haven.

Almost like... in my mother's arms.

Actually, when I was ten my mom sent me to my uncle's house,

because my mom remarried and left for Canada.

Then what about your current parents?

They are my aunt and uncle. Jae Yi is my cousin.

But still it was okay,

because my mom would send a lot of presents and postcards every Christmas,

I didn't think I was being abandoned.

because we were going to meet again someday.

But then...

Joon Hyeong!

A Christmas gift from Canada arrived.

It came early this year.

It's timed perfectly for you to do well on your competition today.

- I'll be downstairs making some snacks. - Okay.

How unlucky, on a competition day.

Mom, do you have a water-proof bandaid?

Did you get hurt?

Over there at the entrance to the room. Look in the drawer.

When I looked at the postcards again,

the penmanship on the cards delivered to me all

the while was different from the first three.

It was almost as if someone were trying to imitate my mom's writing.

So, it was your aunt.

Then, was that day...

Yes. That was the first competition when the symptoms appeared.

Thank you, for telling me things that were hard for you to say.

Do you think it is connected to what I am going through?

I believe so. As I told you before,

panic disorder, conversion disorder, or trauma.

Hearing impairment and deafness could happen.

I think that day, the shock was quite big for you.

The connection you felt with your mother

disappeared all of a sudden.

Good!

Since we've found the reason

we can figure things out, step by step.

The fact that you were able to convey your

thoughts to me may have healed you by 50% already.

Then, let's see...

What would be the best approach for you?

I think we might have to test things a bit.

When is your next competition?

Thank you for the ride. Bye.

Ah what is that? What's wrong with her?

If she's going to see him, she should dress better to appeal to him!

That way, my hyung would say, "Oh, Bok Joo, you look lovely today."

But if she goes looking like that... Aish!

I can drop you off in front of your place. It's not

polite to make a girl walk alone at night like this.

No, it's really okay. I can make it home from here with my eyes closed.

And, I have to stop by the market and pick up a few things.

Okay. See you at the clinic.

Oh, and don't forget to stretch before you sleep.

Yes. Good bye, Doctor.

Oh my, oh my. You're going to break your back Bok Joo!

Aish, what am I going to do with you Bok Joo?

You like him? You like him?

Where are you going? Where is she going? You don't ride the subway.

Toilet

Three, two, one!

Okay! She came out.

Oh, am I catching a cold? That dumb dress!

Hey. Who is this?

Our school's weightlifting fairy, Kim Bok Joo!

Are you keeping tabs on me 24 hours a day? How can we meet all the time?

I know, it amazes me too. Why do I always see you?

What's that?

It's nothing, so mind your own business.

By the looks of it, you went to a musical.

You didn't get all dressed up in a dress and heels, did you?

Are you crazy? Why would I get all dressed up?

I was just asking if you did.

My brother really hates the extra feminine type.

Really?

No. It's a lie.

What kind of a man doesn't like a girl who gets all dressed up?

Hey, you're making fun of me because you already saw me, aren't you! You, evil man!

Oh, I spent all that money and got cursed. I'm feeling really wronged here.

Then, who told you to make fun of me?

I spent all my allowance for the month on those tickets!

Buying the tickets? Well, thanks for that.

Of course, you should be grateful.

So, was it fun with Hyung?

It wasn't bad, and I got to ride in his car.

Ooh!!! A drive! You did everything!

Bok Joo, there is danger!

Wow, that could've been bad!

Hey, something bad could've happened if I didn't have good reflexes!

Why is he driving like that?!

Hey! Come here, bastard!

Jeong Joon Hyeong!

Why? Are you going to go? You should lie down a little longer.

No, I'm okay now.

It seems like a temporary stomach cramp, so I'm giving you some painkillers.

This is an antacid.

Make sure to take this after meals.

Thank you.

Stomach cramps are usually caused by hyperacidity induced

by stress. Are you under a lot of stress these days?

Yes, a little bit.

By any chance, because of a man?

Wait, who in the world is he?

That stupid guy who makes such a pretty girl end up in this state?

You should dry your hair first. It's soaked through right here.

Are you giving a disease and offering a remedy? You'd better shut up.

Give it here, give it. How could you dry anything like that?

Forget it!

Stay still, I'll dry it for you.

Aigoo, I'm so sorry. What should I do about this?

Forget it. You do it yourself! I don't care whether you do it or not.

Who asked you to do it in the first place, you crazy punk?!

Hey, do you think Hyung can tell that you like him?

No. He probably can't even imagine it in his dreams. I don't want to get found out.

Men don't really like women who do weightlifting.

See, look! My hands are full of calluses. Who would like hands like this?

What's wrong with that? They're like medals because you

exercise. Plus you feel safe when you walk at night.

I'd really like that.

You speak so well.

But it was still a good day. I got to have something like a date thanks to you.

I took a drive with him earlier, and it felt like

I was Cinderella riding her pumpkin carriage.

It was like going straight back to reality when the clock strikes twelve.

But she at least becomes the prince's wife later on.

I know, right? I don't even see any movies that don't

have happy endings because I feel kind of down.

Have you heard that there's a toad in that fountain over there that grants wishes?

- What? - You don't know?

Heol. Are you really a student at Haneul? It's a very famous legend.

You know our school sunbae athletes that won gold

medals? They all say it was thanks to that toad.

You really need to work on your creativity.

No, it's true! I'm saying this because you don't know.

It's said that if you just pray desperately, it'll

grant your wishes without any questions or arguments.

Just try asking it once for things to go well with Hyung.

As soon as you open your mouth, lies just...

Hey, did you catch a cold?

I have been feeling pretty painful pressure on my sinuses since earlier.

I'm sorry, but I have some important plans later

on, so I can't catch a cold. I'll leave first.

Why are you being like this?

I told you I can't catch a cold, seriously!

It's going to last forever! My germs are super strong and my colds get really bad.

Virus, swag!

Hey, you better watch out if I catch your cold.

I'll seriously... I'll give it right back to you by kissing you! You just wait.

Should I go with you together? Why are you leaving already?

Hey, Swimmer Jeong! Let's go together!

I guess I really did catch a cold. Ah, how annoying.

Are you sick? Your face is totally white.

I'm all right.

I have a cold too. Does this room have bad luck or something today?

Why can't I open it?

Give it here. I'll do it for you.

- It's okay. I'll do it. - Hey, just give it here.

Forget it, I said I'll do it!

I'm sorry. I was a bit oversensitive.

If Bok Joo raises her weight class, she definitely could win.

Hyung, they are asking something more?

What are you doing right now? The chicken is all burnt!

Aigoo, aigoo. It's all burnt, all burnt! What should I do about this?

What were you doing, burning the chicken? Were you falling asleep or something?

No. I was thinkingm briefly of something else.

I'm going to focus on his upper body for now, so I'm planning to

keep the amount of weight he lifts the same and increase his reps.

Yes. He will also have to increase the frequency

of his training with the pro team, right?

Let Woong Gi do that on his own. He'll be able to regulate that much.

What a relief that Woong Gi made up his mind!

But either way, it'll be kind of hard on Bok Joo, won't it?
