When the Camellia Blooms (동백꽃 필 무렵)

MAY 3, 2013 THE BEGINNING

I WILL WELCOME EVERYONE

You're open, right?

Yes.

My gosh, we only ordered one serving.

That is one serving.

What?

Since you two are my first customers...

I see. I guess you measured the portion wrong.

No, I just gave you extra because I'm in a good mood.

Enjoy.

Let's go.

CAMELLIA

Let's go, Pil-gu!

We should measure your height. Come here.

Let's see.

The year 2014...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS, DONGBAEK

Why do you always thank people?

You should just write, "Enjoy your lives, jerks."

Well, I am grateful.

I raised Pil-gu here, and I was able to send him to the academy.

They always bully you, and they're out to get you.

What are you grateful for?

The women in this neighborhood are weird indeed.

Even though they hate me so much,

they always give me kimchi when they make a new batch.

They always do it, as if it's a totally natural thing to do.

They're always like,

"Hey, when are you going to take your kimchi?" They yell at me like that.

This is one strange neighborhood.

To tell you the truth, I think I quite enjoyed living here.

People may not openly hate me in other places,

but no one would give me kimchi.

That's a big difference.

Hey, sell some of your cards.

You're always so self-centered.

Whatever.

I'm not even having fun.

I don't want to play anymore.

I'm done, too. All my cards suck.

I have to say, that girl is so annoying.

I don't even want to play cards because of her.

I told you ladies that we should invite her to our kitty party group.

Is she moving because we didn't invite her?

Dongbaek doesn't have a husband or anyone to hang out with.

She needs to have some fun.

She held out for a long time.

If I were her, I wouldn't have lasted a year.

Even if we overcharged her for tofu and rice cakes and gave her the evil eye,

she always said hello to us whenever she saw us.

Why did you give her the evil eye?

-Who gave her the evilest eye? -Darn it.

Yong-sik was the last draw.

She lost her one and only friend because of a guy.

No wonder she couldn't last.

It's all my fault.

I swallowed it without knowing

that I'd choke on it.

Why did I open up to her and get all attached?

-I'll take this one. -Sure.

Why does she want to leave this neighborhood?

What do you think? It's obviously because of Yong-sik.

She's running away because she can't face Ms. Kwak, knowing her personality.

What did that woman do?

Did she pick a fight or something?

Did she go berserk?

Gosh, she can't be that mean to a single mom.

Besides, she's practically an orphan.

I told you.

Everyone looks down on you when you don't have a mom.

Why move when she has no money?

She should just target Pil-gu's dad.

That's her gold mine.

Hey, I told you not to be a joke.

You're scaring me.

Everyone's being such a joke. It really gets on my nerves.

By the way, what did you do back in the old days?

You tell me first. Why are you buying matching pajamas?

I told you I'm going to Copenhagen.

Your boss won't take you with her?

Dongbaek?

You're not going to wear it anymore?

I told you. It was just a habit.

This, too.

This is mine. Why are you taking this?

Because you're coming with me.

Don't think about going to some strange place

and just come with me.

I'll pay for your beer for the rest of your life.

All my old bosses shut down their businesses

and ran away without even paying me.

I was left with nothing, but not a single one of them was concerned about me.

But hearing her say I should come with her and that she'd take care of me

made me feel weird.

I'm not sure if it's okay to go with her.

Anyway, Dongbaek has a knack for making people uncomfortable.

I've started packing, but I think I'll need more boxes.

Do you happen to have any empty boxes?

Hey, where are you going?

Here.

GRAIN POWDER

There are all sorts of things in this. What are these?

What do you mean? There's nothing in it.

Just take them.

Safflower seeds are good for your joints.

Dongbaek.

Pick up some empty boxes at my place, too.

Dongbaek!

Boxes for cabbages are usually the biggest.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS, DONGBAEK

Gosh, that fool.

Why is she always thanking people?

Ms. Kwak.

Why are you running away? You should just confront things head-on.

Do you think nice people

will welcome you with open arms if you move to a different town?

Everyone struggles and experiences obstacles wherever they go.

You think so? I thought I was the only one bombarded with obstacles.

If you keep running away, it'll be a vicious cycle.

The one who holds out until the end is the real winner.

You're saying you don't want me to leave, aren't you?

Gosh, you frustrate me so much.

With your personality, how are you going to settle down in a new place?

There won't be someone like me.

I have to say, I'm glad. I've lived in Ongsan for six years,

and I'm glad that at least one person is telling me not to leave.

Everyone's sad that you're leaving.

I was like everyone's punching bag here.

Everyone thought they could walk all over me,

but you always treated me so respectfully,

and I thank you for that, Ms. Kwak.

Thanks to you,

-I enjoyed the six years here. -Gosh.

I don't even want to hear it.

For some strange reason, I always had this hunger.

But whenever you held my hand while walking with me,

I felt so...

That emptiness strangely went away whenever you did that.

I thought, "This is probably what it feels like to have a mom."

Oh, dear. This is why young men and women should never be left in a room together.

You two fell for each other so quickly without any warning.

What was I supposed to do?

And now you're running away after putting me through all that stress?

I'm burning inside because of you.

I stabbed you in the back big-time, didn't I?

I'll do my best.

They say, "Out of sight, out of mind."

It won't be easy, but I'll do my best.

I'll forget him.

Then Yong-sik will also...

I need to catch Joker in order to keep Dongbaek here.

Yeong-sim sent in a complaint.

She got irritable bowel syndrome due to stress.

She even sent her hospital bill.

Why is this...

CARD TRANSACTION HISTORY 3 FAILED LOG-IN ATTEMPTS

No Gyu-tae.

What a joke.

I e-mailed you the footage from Chungdae Motel.

I'm getting the chills.

I can feel her piercing glare on my forehead.

But don't worry.

I made sure to change the password.

Don't you see what's different?

What's different?

Look.

When you go from here, you see this window open.

But...

when you go in the other direction, it's closed.

Why...

This place has been empty for ages.

I think someone was watching me.

Can we put out an APB for the landlord?

Put out an APB? You do it.

That idiot.

I feel like that punk might actually achieve something.

Hey! You can't kick people, okay?
