Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter (계룡선녀전)

I wonder who's here this early.

What brings you by?

You asked me if I were your husband.

Must I have been your husband though?

I don't know anything about reincarnation,

but there's one thing I do know.

It's the fact that I'm beginning to like you.

Mom.

What...

What are you? Get away from us!

Mom.

Get lost. Shoo!

My gosh. - Jeom Soon,

go ahead and say hello.

Jeom Soon, he's your...

He's Professor Jung Yi Hyun.

Are you all right?

I'm good.

Say hello to him.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

I know she startled you.

Jeom Soon has been reincarnated five times,

and her fifth is as a tiger.

You probably can't believe it even though we're right here,

but we've been living like this for 699 years.

Well...

May I use the restroom?

Outside, you'll see a small door.

Right.

How could you? You almost gave me scars.

What were you dreaming of that almost turned you into a tiger?

Well... What did I do anyway?

Why scold me when that man is the one to blame?

Don't call him that. - Whatever.

You have a cell phone now, so why not call...

instead of coming here unannounced? How rude!

Do not talk like that to your seniors!

Why is he here though?

Well...

Does Dad finally remember us?

I'm not sure about that.

On that note, do you plan to stay at home today?

The deadline for my novel is today.

I'll be working from home all day.

But the weather is amazing today.

I didn't shower last night, so it'll take ages to get ready.

I'm staying home.

You say that as if you actually shower every day.

Whatever!

If you want to, go out with him to talk.

It's the weekend, so the cafe is closed anyway.

See you later.

Were you surprised?

It'd be a lie if I wasn't.

I can't describe what happened earlier...

with any existing theory.

Sometimes you have to accept the things as they are.

To have doubts about everything.

That's my life's motto.

Is that so?

But there's something unquestionable right here in this moment.

What is that?

Your stomach has been rumbling since a while ago.

What?

Come on. I rarely have breakfast.

It must be your stomach that rumbled.

Well, I guess we can have some breakfast.

Who is it this time?

Mr. Kim.

Enjoy. - Thank you.

Isn't this too grand for breakfast?

I saw this place before,

and there was always a long line unless early in the morning.

This is delicious.

Why aren't you eating?

It's too much to eat alone.

Here.

Here you go.

Wings are the best parts of chicken.

Why would you give me this drumstick instead?

Give it to me then.

Mother and Father, you two should share it.

Neck is my favorite.

I love eating chicken breast with salt.

Mother and Father.

I'm glad we all have different tastes in chicken.

Why are you eating the chicken neck first?

You're right.

You have drumsticks there.

Sharing a whole chicken with my housemate...

gave me a habit of this.

You mean, Geum?

He doesn't like eating chicken neck?

Trying to give me drumsticks,

he said his favorite was the neck and took it all the time.

So I started to eat chicken neck first.

That way, he'd enjoy delicious parts too.

Hello, professor.

Look who this is.

Why are you here in campus on the weekend?

May I borrow your phone?

What? My phone?

No, you can't. - Pardon?

I don't use my phone on weekends.

The battery is dead.

I don't charge my phone on weekends.

This is really urgent though.

Make it less than 30 seconds.

I should've asked Mr. Geum to join us for breakfast.

Join us? Why?

Do you have your phone with you? - My phone?

Here.

Let me keep this while we're together.

Gosh.

Ms. Fairy. - Mr. Geum.

Hello? - Where are you, professor?

Why do you ask?

Thank you for the food.

What?

He actually likes the neck?

Didn't you drink a lot yesterday?

You should've rested at home.

You are the one who finished most of the whisky.

Aren't you tired?

Didn't you see me do push-ups yesterday?

I hardly get tired.

It's warm and nice.

I did more push-ups than you though.

Then again,

I have strong legs.

I was a soccer player up until middle school.

I was a mid-fielder.

Let me go to the restroom for a second.

It's on the right side of the entrance.

What happened? - What do you mean?

You didn't tell me anything. - Let me tell you right now.

I'm hanging out with Ms. Seon today.

You said you went shopping with her.

So I'm telling you right now.

Oh and I like her.

I'm telling you this because you told me first.

Professor Jung. - I'm not trying to fight you.

I know you didn't mean to fight me either.

Let's be simple. You told me first,

and I'm telling you now.

How about we go in somewhere?

Why? Isn't it nice to walk outside?

The weather is nice too.

Do you want to go somewhere?

What's wrong with this punk?

Right, let's go anywhere.

What is that place for?

It's Escaping Room. It's trendy among young people these days.

There are rooms,

and you have to clear missions to escape from those rooms.

"Missions"? - Well...

There's a problem to solve in each room.

You have to solve it in order to escape.

That sounds fun.

You want to try?

We can't escape because we have work every night.

I think we'll be stuck here forever.

Throw one of your beans, and everything will be solved.

Don't be so pessimistic.

I reflected on myself for the last two days without sleeping.

I think the Master of the Northern Star is punishing me.

I'm not following.

I didn't get to tell you this,

but I was a horrible jerk back in the fairy realm.

I was worse than that rude punk.

What are you talking about?

You stole something or what?

I stole it all every time I saw them.

Were you a thief?

Well, sort of.

I was a horrible playboy who stole women's hearts.

I was merciless.

I swayed all the hearts of female immortals.

I was worst of the worst.

I see.

Right, I was.

Thinking this is a punishment,

I can't help but accept it.

I see. You should be punished for such a huge sin.

I guess you had some great skills of hitting on women.

I wouldn't call them skills.

I'd rather say they're in my nature.

You know, they're there when I wake up from my sleep...

or take a dump in a toilet.

They never fade away no matter how much I use them.

That's how I used to be.

I see. - Right.

You do deserve to get punished on board here for all your life,

self-reflecting and repenting over and over again.

You must not need your beans then.

What...

What are you doing?

I never seduced a woman and have nothing to repent for.

I'll escape tonight.
