YUMI'S CELLS 3

EPISODE 1 THE VANISHED YUMI'S CELLS

Oh, have you eaten?

What's this?

Oh, you just came from the bathhouse. Your face is glowing.

Man-sik. Did you buy a car?

YUMI HARDWARE STORE

- I've never seen this car before. - My daughter bought it for me.

- Yu-mi? - Yes. I told her I didn't need it.

She just signed the contract and sent it over on her own.

Wow, I heard Yu-mi was making a lot of money.

Does she earn the cost of this car for writing one manuscript page?

What, is that the rumor going around?

- That's what everyone's saying. - It's not much, but she does well.

- Lucky you to have such a daughter. - Oh, well, is her money mine?

- Oh, come on. It's the same thing. - By the way.

- Yeah. - Did you see yesterday's article?

- No, what? - Yu-mi did a newspaper interview.

"Interview with Romance Writer Kim Yu-mi."

- She looks pretty in the photo - She's pretty, right?

LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT WORK!

ALWAYS ROOTING FOR YOU!

Hello.

Oh, Su-jin. Are you on your way to your academy?

- Yes. When is Yu-mi's new book out? - She's writing it now.

It's been over three months since she said it would be out.

She seems to be very busy.

She has lots of interviews and stuff.

They're making another drama based on Yu-mi's book, you know?

So she has to go to a production press conference or something.

- Anyway, it'll be out soon. - Please ask her when it starts.

- Everyone in my class is waiting. - Okay, okay. I'll tell her. Go on.

- Goodbye. - Okay, go.

Bye.

Gosh. Really.

They can't wait a few months?

A writer is a person, too.

She really needs to rest, too.

Goodness.

Right, let's see.

TO YUMI HARDWARE STORE I LOVE YOU, DAD

KITCHEN CRUSH

Is she busy?

- Hello? - Oh, Yu-mi?

Dad.

Hey, where are you? I can't hear you.

Dad, I'm on a plane right now.

- A plane? - Yes, I'm on a plane.

Why a plane? Where are you going?

I'm going skydiving.

- What? - Skydiving.

What? Why aren't you writing instead of... sky-what?

I'm here to do research.

The main character goes skydiving and falls for the instructor.

But still, why do you have to go skydiving? That's...

We will be taking off shortly. Please end your call.

- Okay. - Yes.

Dad, I'm here with the PD. Don't worry.

Anyway, Dad, I'll call you back later.

Ms. Kim.

- Yes? - Without actually doing this

can't you still write about falling in love with an instructor?

You're already being held like this. And me too.

- What? - I mean...

you could just get the feel for it like this

and what do you think about going back down?

Right now?

What's going on?

Gosh, seriously?

Right now!

What do you think about canceling now?

What? Yoon PD, you're the one who told me to do it!

You said I'd get a feel for it if I did it myself.

Well, that's...

- Can we cancel now? I can't do this. - Let's go!

- No! - Let's go!

- Wait, I really... - Please...

Instructor, wait a minute!

- Ms. Kim, no! - Three. Two. One!

- All right, let's go! Go! - What?

No, I can't! Wait, go slowly! My helmet, this... Tighten my helmet!

- Wait a minute! - Okay, here we go!

Ready, set, go!

What is this?

What is this?

Phew, I survived.

- Is everyone okay? - Hey, Writer Cell!

What the hell did you just make us do?

Do you have to be so extreme just to write?

Hmm, so this is what it felt like.

I wondered if you could fall in love while skydiving.

So? Do you get a feel for it now?

Do you think you can write it?

- No. - What?

It'd be hard to fall in love when it's this chaotic.

I'll have to go with a different premise.

Hey, does Yu-mi have to risk her life just to confirm that?

You used to write just fine without doing this, Writer Cell.

I don't know. I feel I can't write unless I do something like this.

You're hopeless, really.

Hi!

- Hi! - Looking sharp. Hope you eat well.

- Hi. - Hey, welcome!

Honey.

Honey!

Hurry up!

- Ran's dad! - Yeah?

- You have the car key, right? - The car key? I don't have it.

- No, you have it. - Do I?

You used it earlier.

- Here it is. Sorry, I'll unlock it. - Let's go, let's go!

- Oh my, so pretty. - All right, get in.

Let's go!

- Honey, you got the bags, right? - Yeah.

Did you cry that much?

Wait, where do we have to go first?

My mom's house. We'll go there first and drop off Ran

- then drop me off at Yu-mi's studio. - Ah, okay.

You have to stop by the hospital before you go to your publisher.

Okay, perfect!

It's a war every morning.

Don't overdo it.

- Should I stop messing around? - Yeah.

- I'll call you. - Okay.

Hello.

- Who is it? - Ms. Kim, it's me.

- You're here. - Goodness.

Our writer Yu-mi.

Your dedication to your work is amazing.

I was just making coffee. I'll get you some.

Great.

How nice.

Hey, Hemingway supposedly said

"In order to write about life, first you must live it."

- Wow, you know about Hemingway? - Hey, I'm...

in my third year as the wife of an Editor-in-Chief.

A dog at a school learns to read. I've picked up a thing or two.

So.

Do you know what became of Hemingway, who pursued this "true life"?

He shot himself in the head.

Don't worry. I'm no great writer like Hemingway or anything.

It's just, I was struggling to write, and Yoon PD suggested

"Maybe you'll get a feel if you try skydiving yourself?"

So I did it.

Man, that PD is the problem.

Seriously, why would he suggest that to a writer?

How's Yoon PD, by the way?

Well, you think a broken toe heals that fast?

- Why are you having trouble writing? - I don't know either.

You've already had four hits.

You're a bona fide hit writer.

Relax and write, thinking it's fine if one of them flops.

It's because of the pressure.

- I don't think it's the pressure. - Then what is it?

You don't have money worries.

Or a kid tying you down like I am?

You can sleep whenever and go wherever you want.

And you have a studio with this amazing view.

Your fans are waiting for you to write.

I mean, what is the problem?

I think it's because I have nothing to worry about.

- Are you trying to make me jealous? - No, sorry, but I really think so.

The fact that I have no problems is the problem.

How should I put it?

My life feels bland.

You should go on a trip.

To Europe or somewhere.

- I already went. - And?

It was nice.

I thought, "This is so nice."

And that was it.

Like with the skydiving.

For a moment

I was moved.

It was amazing.

But...

once that moment passed, I just wanted to come down.

Nothing really...

strikes a chord with me.

- Like the trip? - Yeah, like the trip.

Maybe it's because...

you haven't dated

in too long.

- Dating? - Yes.

Hey! You're a romance writer. How can you write without dating?

I told you to date someone.

My husband, Dae-yong, told you he has a line of guys for you.

Yeah, but...

it's such a hassle.

No, I've checked them out. They're all great guys.

- But it's a hassle. - Why?

If I could go on blind dates again, I'd go on a hundred of them.

I don't know. It all seems dull.

Why?

The reason is...

because many cells in the village have disappeared.

As the prime cell, Writer Cell, grew more powerful

cells began to disappear one by one.
