Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter (계룡선녀전)

Jeom Soon, how did you get in here?

Jeom Soon, what's wrong?

Ms. Fairy?

She's burning up.

To the right.

Mr. Kim!

I'm sorry. I get confused when I'm flustered.

Darn.

It's nicer than how it looks from the outside.

The room's spacious too.

Her fever isn't going down. What do we do?

Could she have the flu?

She has a stomachache.

A stomachache?

Immortals are given many supernatural powers,

but one must never use them to disrupt the land of humans...

or for their personal gain.

When used to fill one's greed,

when used to hurt mortals,

when one denies its existence,

or when one is not true to oneself,

the rules of the sky will punish you.

If you're done, I'd like to be excused.

You're dying in pain, aren't you?

You probably want to lie down.

Look at the sweat formed on your forehead.

I only desperately need to use the restroom.

Why do you have to be so stubborn?

Anyway, you have committed too many sins,

so be prepared to have your stomachache.

Immortals suffer from stomachaches when they disobey...

the rules of the sky.

She's probably in pain because she denied being a fairy earlier.

I see.

But Jeom Soon,

why are you speaking casually to me?

What?

Well, you see...

I don't know.

I can't seem to control myself today.

Is it because I ran at top speed just now?

Are you upset about it?

No, you can continue to do so.

I feel like we've grown closer.

There's a cure for this stomachache.

What is it? I'll get it for you.

I don't know if you could find any.

What are these peaches for?

Did Mizar disobey the rules again?

There were seven immortals serving the Master of the Northern Star.

Out of the seven, Bausae of Dubhe, Izy of Mizar,

and me, Seon Ok Nam of Alkaid,

reached the realm around the same time.

I'll be cured naturally soon, so why bother to come?

I know you're glad to see me.

Being sick all day makes you lonely.

Weren't you playing with those pebbles by yourself?

I heard you were up at 592 years in a game of five stones.

Don't be ridiculous. I am a fairy who doesn't get lonely.

Anyway, what happened this time?

There were those who didn't work but extorted his people instead,

so I burned down his storeroom.

What happened?

Did all the grains burn?

They'll only have vegetables to eat this winter.

That must be what I heard at bath with the other fairies.

According to a correspondent there,

the landowner was in rage after the fire...

and stole all the crops and grains from his people.

Your righteous act backfired and made it even worse.

Then I should burn all the grains the landowner stole.

There won't be enough peaches to cure you then.

It's just that...

peach is my favorite fruit.

How can I not react to injustice?

Why don't you believe in the power of humans?

Things may seem unfair at this moment,

but I believe that the humans have the power to correct it.

Gosh, that's hot.

Enjoy your peaches then.

Izy of Mizar had the power to control fire,

and the burning rage inside her caused many stomachaches.

I won't do this.

I quit being a fairy. I quit!

Wait, hold on. She's such a pain in my butt.

Take that!

Bausae of Dubhe was a fairy who had the power to control wind.

He was from the same kingdom as Mizar...

and joined the skies around the same time.

A day up in the skies was a year in the mortal realm.

After a number of full moons though,

they suddenly...

disappeared.

Mom, are you awake?

Considering the season, I wasn't able to get fresh peaches.

Anyway, Mr. Kim Geum bought this for you.

Was Mr. Kim here?

You won't believe what he did for you.

Jeom soon, I went to a 24-hour supermarket,

but it's not peach season.

What should we do?

You should've just bought some peach juice.

Juice? All right.

Please take good care of her.

What's he saying? She's my mom.

She must've been exhausted from nursing.

You'll be all right now, Ms. Fairy.

Jeom Soon, you sleep tight too.

I am indebted to him.

How do you feel?

I feel much better.

Mom, please don't be sick. I worried about you so much.

Okay.

Mom, and I...

If I tell her that I got a call from the publishing house,

it will make her worry.

You're still under training.

What if you go there, get worked up, and turn into a tiger?

They say there's a vacancy in Yiwon Zoo.

Do you wish to be sent there?

It's nothing.

I dreamed of my far-distant past.

How did I forget about those days?

Hello, Professor Jung.

I'm the butterfly-haired eelworm.

The butterfly-haired eelworm?

I didn't know you could talk.

Of course, I can. It's just that you couldn't hear me until now.

I see.

I'm sorry. - It's fine.

Why don't we go take a walk?

Now you have arms.

It doesn't seem like you have feet.

Do you think you can go for a walk?

Of course. This is a dream.

In dreams,

I can even breakdance.

Breakdancing. - Anyway, I'm dreaming again.

It's not bad of a dream.

I stopped having nightmares ever since I started drinking her coffee.

Really? - Yes.

What... Why are you here in my dream?

Where did the eelworm go?

I think she went to another dream.

I had so many scientific facts to check from her.

Maybe I should've come a little late. I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize.

This must be audiovisual information created from my subconscious.

Don't tell me you actually came into my dream.

What do you think the case is then?

There are jade rings like this in the fairy realm.

It's one of the package goods...

which I received during the orientation for new fairies.

Going to bed with this ring on my finger...

lets me visit the dream of anyone I want.

But that could also be fake,

an illusion created by yourself.

Is it that important?

I have this feeling that I've known you since a long time ago.

You and I were tied together with a string of fate since long ago.

You were my moon and my star.

You were like welcome rain after a long draught.

You were like a lantern that brightens darkness.

And why can't I remember that?

Were we closely related to each other?

Were we friends? Perhaps, lovers?

We were...

a married couple.

I have...

loved you for a long time.

I love you, you love me

Is it yes or now?

Let's not tire our love out

By pushing and pulling like a tug-of-war

If you hug me first

I'll kiss you as if I'm forced

Professor Jung, good morning.

Good morning.

Have breakfast.

I made delicious mushroom sesame powder stew.

I feel bad to have you go through a lot since the morning for us.

It's not since the morning.

I trimmed vegetables and stuff since at dawn today.

Pardon?

Sorry for making you work since at dawn because of us.

I'm joking.

Why do you take every word I say seriously?

It's not fun, you know.

If it's not fun,

you can't draw girls' attention.

If you can't draw girls' attention,

you won't be able to get married.

You'll have to visit someone else's hometown every holiday...

and drink a bottle of single malt whisky bought by yourself.

You're so good at making jokes.

What are you talking about?

It was a joke a while ago, but I meant it this time.

By the way, where's Geum?

Geum came home at dawn.

He said he had to go nurse a friend of his...
