Evergreen (그남자 오수)

Goodness.

You're here?

Yeah.

Goodness.

Geez.

What about Soo?

Isn't today the day of his flight?

I called him earlier, but he wouldn't pick up.

His suitcase is still at home, so I'm sure he'll be back home later.

It's an evening flight, right?

Goodness.

So, how did it go with the business that you left to take care of?

Well...

Grandpa.

Don't ever go anywhere ever again.

The house was a mess without you there!

There are tons of dishes stacked up in the sink

and the laundry is rotting in the washer, ugh!

Why, you little!

Ah, is that Oh Soo?

Yes, hello?

Oh, really?

So, you sent it to our house, correct?

Hey, did you receive any packages at home?

No.

I'll go and check right now.

Yes, yes.

All right, thank you.

Did they find the book? Did they send it to you?

Does this mean that Soo doesn't have to go to Germany? Huh?

No, I have to check it first.

I'll come with you!

It's not like it's the first time you got dumped.

But you're so embarrassed that you want to move away?

Don't do a slap-dash job, do it well!

What was it that you told me when we moved here?

You said there's no way we could find another house like this, for this price!

Damn it.

Who the hell cares about your pride? You're so annoying!

Why are you always getting so annoyed?

You said there's only one room at our new place.

I'm going to be a third year next year!

If I get stressed out, the level of the college I'll attend will change!

I'm going to stop myself before I say something I regret. Pass me the tape.

Hey.

You'd better not tell Jin Woo about this.

Sheesh.

Here.

Always keep this on your person.

It may not be able to stop bad things from happening

but it'll be of help to you when the time comes.

Maybe I can use it as toilet paper in a cinch.

I wonder if Mr. Oh Soo left yet.

There's...

an eight hour difference between here and Germany, I think.

I wonder if he's tired.

I wonder if he's okay.

I looked near the front entrance too, but I couldn't find it.

What if they sent it to the wrong address? Are you sure Oh Soo got it?

Hey, hurry up and call Oh Soo.

I've been calling him, but...

Hello?

Hi, Ms. Yoo Ri. Um...

Have you seen Oh Soo, by any chance?

No.

He didn't leave for Germany yet?

We parted ways last night.

And I didn't contact him after that.

Did something happen?

Um, no, no, no! I'll call you back later.

Did he get into an accident or something?

Where could it be?

I found it! Grandpa, I found it!

I found the book, Grandpa!

What the...

What's wrong with the tree?

Hey, Soo.

What's the matter?

- Hey, Soo! - Hey, Soo!

- Hey! - What's the matter, Soo?

- Soo! - What happened to you?

Soo! Soo!

Hey, wake up!

Wake up, punk!

Hey, Soo!

Big Sis!

Big Sis!

Aren't you going to feed me?

Big Sis!

Come on, aren't you going to feed me?

Ugh, wow. Now you're not even going to feed me?

Fine, whatever. Just get some sleep, then.

Um...

Is it okay to just leave him like this? Shouldn't we take him to the hospital?

This isn't something that can be resolved by taking him to the hospital.

What's going to happen to Soo, then? What if he never wakes up?

The tree is coming back to life...

so let's just wait and see.

According to this, Grandma consumed the pollen, too.

Did you know about that, Grandpa?

I thought that she died of an illness.

I had no idea that it was because of that.

Goodness.

But, Grandpa.

About Dad...

Why didn't Dad do as the book said?

If he had, he could still be alive today.

I'm assuming that your father was thinking

that one may not know what awaits them at the end of an unexplored path

but I'm sure he wanted to leave Soo the knowledge.

Oh, call Yoo Ri later.

So that she doesn't worry.

All right.

Oh, Ga Nah!

Hey, is Oh Soo inside?

Why won't he answer my calls?

Just come inside.

He can't go to Germany because of a woman?

Yeah.

You just said that he couldn't go because he was sick, though!

Well...

Well, it's tricky to explain, but at any rate, he can't go right now.

So take care of it for him, will you?

Hey, come over here.

I want to see him myself

and decide whether or not I need to take care of things, so let's go.

If he could see you, he would!

Just wait, wait! Sheesh.

Have some coffee before you go.

I'll wait, since I'm a mess right now

but Oh Soo isn't the type to get sick over a woman.

Come on, come up with something realistic!

Love? Love is completely weak!

Be sure to tell him that, okay?

I'm going to tell you something...

so listen to me, and do something about those dark circles.

Why are you mentioning my dark circles? Are you going to recommend a doctor?

It's the tale of a tree that was born because of love.

A tree?

A long, long time ago...

there was a couple who were willing to lay down their lives for one another.

They were so poor that they had a hard time just getting food to eat

but they were happy enough just having each other.

But then, the wife...

got sick.

The husband was frozen in fear that he would lose his wife.

Then he found out that the son of the judge in that town

was looking for a substitute punishment receiver.

What... what is that?

Someone who gets hit instead of the criminal, and gets paid for it.

Oh.

Anyway, that man was taken in instead of that judge's son.

But unluckily for him...

he ended up getting framed for someone else's crime, too

so he got the death sentence.

And then?

The wife, who found out later, went to the judge's son

and begged him to save her husband.

But...

the judge...

just played dumb, so that his son wouldn't have his career ruined.

And that woman...

had no choice but to watch as her husband was dismembered and killed.

So, what happened to the wife?

Did she get better?

She went to the judge, and cursed him.

And she killed herself on the spot.

Well, I guess she followed her husband to the afterlife.

And...

suddenly, a tree appeared where that woman had died.

Ever since then, the judge and all of his descendants were cursed

and they have no choice

but to protect that tree and watch as the one they love dies.

All right, so what does that story have to do with my dark circles?

Is love really the most useless thing in this world?

Is love truly weak?

Because the true beginning of that story

lies with this family...

that has been cursed with watching their loved ones die...

for the past 500 years.

Huh?

Oh Soo! Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo.

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Oh Soo!

Where are you going to go?

Stop trying to think of ways to be honest without hurting her.

End it like a wimp, or be honest and break up with her.

It it's the same outcome

it's better to choose the one that will leave you with no regrets.

Easy for you to say, since this doesn't concern you!

That's right.

Everyone else thinks you're ridiculous for even being so worried.

I'm off.
