Episode 2
Let's go on a walk for a bit.
Where to?
You have to get on the ship that goes to Ming. I have prepared it for situations like this.
No, I don't want to run away.
It concerns your life.
Just once. Please don't have me go there just this one time.
I ran away to here as well.
You mustn't let that child live.
Do it for the greater good. I will promise you an official spot (rank five) in the court.
That child might have really come from the future.
Someone from the future...
Well...
There is no one more dangerous than him.
Pardon?
He ran frivolously to save him.
His Majesty has brought the trouble himself.
Eunuch, open your eyes. Just...
Look!
Don't drink it. Trapped water is full of rotten moss.
Well, it is not the fault of the moss.
It is the fault of the humans that trap nature for their convenience.
Let's go.
Oh gosh.
I'm right. You are a girl.
What are you saying?
- Then, a deungmok? (when men pour water on their backs with their tops off) - I hate taking showers.
It is not going to change anything, even if you are a girl.
I knew it ever since my brother kept calling you Noona.
I didn't try to deceive you on purpose.
I got the job because I was a guy, and I was a bit scared as well. That's why.
I will keep it from the king if you double the fee.
You seem like a nice person.
I thought you were a jerk at first.
Well, I am doing the math, whether to take the rank five position.
Or to take at minimum a rank four by saving the king's woman.
Well, right now, you're mine.
How could you have given such a order?
If that child is a spy, then everything you wanted to achieve
disappears.
I'm going to go look for that child.
Your Majesty.
Give up on your personal feelings.
He said to run towards the time. Go first.
- By myself? - Then do you want to die together here?
Here.
Good luck.
♫ Life is just like this, woohoo, it does make sense though ♫
♫ Is it everyone's fault? I know everyone ♫
Ah! ♫ Shut up! ♫
♫ Does singing make you forget? Does loving someone makes you get loved? ♫
♫ Does being rich makes you successful? You go faster on a car ♫
♫ Shut up! ♫
Ah! Argh! ♫ Shut up! Shut up! ♫
♫ Shut up! Shut up and listen to me! ♫
♫ We have to run! We can't make fools of ourselves ♫
♫ Run, horsie! Let's run! ♫
Oppa gangnam style!
Gangnam style!
Oppa Gangnam style! ♫ Run, horsie! ♫
Gangnam style!
Oppa Gangnam style!
Oh, yeah! Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oppa Gangnam style! ♫ Run, horsie! ♫
He told you to run towards the time.
Under the sky of Joseon, the sun is the time.
Time is the sun.
Westward.
You knew about this, didn't you?
What am I going to do?
Did you walk by yourself all the way here?
It must be hard to endure everything by yourself.
Let go of me!
I can go alone! I am going to find them.
If it is the sun of a country, then that represents me.
I colored it like a real bird, right?
Then, I'll make it sound like a bird.
Wow, I want to blow it too!
Give it to me.
You were also bearing it alone, putting up a front.
That day was the exam day that my life depended on.
One of the most important days of my life.
I thought about why I ended up here out of all places,
but I think it was just my choice.
Whether it was Joseon or anywhere else, I just intended to disappear to somewhere far.
"Mi" means not yet, and "rae" means to come. (The word for "future" is pronounced "mi-rae")
So, you came from the days that haven't come yet?
You're telling me to believe that?
Did you live your whole life getting fooled?
It's time you believed me!
Then...
Look at this.
Wow... How can the sky fit into this thing?
It's pretty, right?
If you look at this, you wouldn't have to look up at the sky.
What?
What happened?
Ah, the battery died.
Yeah, it is better to have something permanent.
Wow... This really is Joseon.
There are so many stars.
Those precious stars tell us the date and the time.
In the future, there aren't many stars.
You can only see the few brightest stars and the others are as if they don't exist at all.
Look well.
At first, you only see the brightest star,
but if you keep looking like this...
See? The less bright ones
eventually start to shine more brightly.
Wow, I can really see more now.
The stars are not actually shining brighter,
but the person's will to see them is becoming bigger.
L
O
V
E
- Me too... - What?
You love me?
So suddenly?
I lived without even knowing there were so many stars on Hanyang's sky.
There were a lot of instruments covered with dust.
Even now, how does moving to the Department of Music sound?
If I talk to my father...
I was just trying to help!
L.
O.
V.
E.
Love.
This means love.
The Westerners' characters...
They have their own characters, too.
I'm depressed. I feel like we're getting behind.
When you're depressed, this is the best. Sweets.
It looks bitter. I won't eat it.
No, no! It's really sweet! Try one.
Someday, I will make Joseon's own characters.
So peasants like you can live life comfortably.
That is why I am learning math from you.
The combination of consonants and vowels doesn't come from anywhere.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Do I
look handsome?
Your Majesty, you're...
You will definitely make it.
Wow... This is amazing. Should I get his autograph?
Ah, you're much more handsome!
Did you fall into me again?
Later, I will write your name, too.
Wow.
Wow, this... What is this?
I told you it's good!
- Wow!- Wow!
Wow...
Wow.
Wow... What's this?
Well...
Chisus?(Chicken + Jesus)
Chisus?
It is amusing how they keep appearing from your bag.
I know, right? Why is this here?
Dan Bi! Dan Bi!
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
Wait!
My daughter, you can do it! Fighting!
You can do a good job! Fighting! Fighting!
Mom...
I really liked this when I was young.
Oh... I'm sorry.
No...
What's wrong?
Don't cry! It's a royal command.
When you're depressed, this is the best. Sweets.
♫ Should I gently melt this fluttering heart? ♫
♫ Should I turn up the heat to making it warmer? ♫
♫ If you take just one bite, I think it will be enough to liquefy you ♫
♫ Should I get a taste of your sweet confession? ♫
♫ The second bite would make me dizzy ♫
Don't cry. ♫ Those words will come out automatically ♫
♫ I love you ♫
Hm?
How is it your fault?
It is the fault of the humans who manipulate nature for their own needs.
The water didn't drip at a constant speed because the moss, produced from trapping the water, was blocking the way.
So, if I fix it to drip at a constant pace, then my calculation is right.
I wouldn't have solved it by myself.
Hurry up! You are frustrating me.
Don't nag at me. Anyway, we are going to share the achievement fairly.
High five!
I will grant the intern the rank four for his achievement,
and the eunuch will be forgiven.
Your grace is immeasurable.
I am sorry to tell you,
but you should kick that eunuch out of the palace.
If status gets in the way of someone who cares about the people,
you should grant him a status.
How about a rank three position?
Lord, whose side are you on?
I'm on the people's side.
Times table. Times table.
- Six times six. - Thirty-six.
Times table.
- Seven times eight. - Uh...
Please save me. Please.
Save me...
Look here. The earth rotates around the sun. Round and round.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Oh. I have my hair tie.
So, this is the sun, and the stars are rotating around it.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Venus.
Say Venus again.
Venus.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn...
- Are you listening? - Yes. Go on.
The stars are rotating around the sun.
Giyeok (Korean alphabet for K, G)
Nieun (Korean alphabet for N)
So!
It's delicious, right?
Well...
You eat so well!
It must be spicy.
I'm okay. I can handle this much.
You really resemble my friend.
You don't seem unfamiliar to me either.
Did you say people from the future know everything?
No, not really. (She says this informally.)
Yo... (Formal suffix)
About the skirt... I want to color it like the starlight,
but there's no color for it.
I saw this on SNS...
I've never seen that before...
Where do you want to color?
Here and there.
This is so cool!
So pretty.
How could you say something so frustrating?
His Majesty and that girl spent the night together!
Anyway, this is something that I have to accept.
Just this time, if you trust me and wait...
Yes, my daughter! You did a very good job!
How could you let this situation occur? You should have taken better care of your man.
This time, I want to take care of this, Father.
A rank is good after all. It feels so good!
His Majesty is entering.
Your Majesty, I told Her Highness the Dowager Queen about everything, so you don't have to keep everything to yourself.
I'm talking about that child.
Your Majesty.
You should have made her your concubine instead of an official.
What kind of position is this?
You're preparing for the flower sleep with His Majesty.
Flower sleep? What is that?
Flower sleep is an old saying that means the first night
Are they crazy? A concubine?
Am I Jang Hui Bin?(Jang Hee Bin was a beautiful concubine of King Seok Jong.)
After spending the night with her, make her a Hui Bin.(Hui Bin is the title given to the royal noble consort, rank one)
She disappeared on the way to your palace.
Oh my, oh my gosh!
Hey, hey, they said that I would get kicked out if I'm a girl,
and you said to be friends first!
And I'm only nineteen years old!
Really? If you're nineteen, you should have three kids by now.
Since you lie every time you open your mouth, let me see for myself.
Ah, no! No!
There.
Do you think I didn't know that you're a woman?
I hugged you so many times. Do you think I'm stupid?
Noona! (Older sister)
Noona!
Noona?
The reason I kept quiet about it up to now for some time is because I wanted to be closer to you.
It wouldn't have been possible if the fact you're a girl was discovered, since so many people would keep an eye on us.
What can we do now? Mother wants to make you a Hui Bin now.
My mom is really stubborn. I am not sure how long I can stop her.
Don't worry. I don't want to rush it.
Everyone is frantic looking for you. So, just hide here for today.
You will be the safest here.
Don't worry. I won't eat you. Now I'm going off to do work.
Oh, did I say this before? Or not?
Today... You... You look pretty.
Are you asleep?
You scared me!
Why are you pretending to sleep?
I woke up because you talked to me.
How can you sleep in this situation? Are you a man? Let me check...
I should confirm it by...
I can't communicate with my mother. Can't she just trust me?
Before I even do anything, she nags so much.
My mom's like that too.
The next time it rains,
don't go.
Hm?
I thought I needed you only because you were useful to bring the rain, but then...
But it's not like that.
I'm not that useful, right?
What I want to say is...
If you're beside me, that's enough for me.
It's not because I need you. You're enough for me.
Just having you beside me is enough.
Hey, hey...
- Oh, gosh. - Let's just sleep since it is so awkward.
I heard you talked about our own calendar with His Majesty.
It's all your fault. I have been working all night on it.
Ah.
Ah, you are so annoying.
Use this to clean your hands.
King Sejong and Jang Yeong Sil...
It must be nice that all of you are great people. What am I going to do with myself?
What do you mean by that? For a peasant to become a concubine is the best boost a woman could have.
Becoming a concubine means I am going to be those evil ladies in the palace.
I never imagined my life like that.
Also, I'm afraid of pointlessly influencing history.
What if he doesn't create hangul for my sake?(Hangul is the Korean alphabet)
What a joke.
There are stuff like that. It isn't like you know any of them.
Don't think of it that easily.
The Queen must have prudently approved.
But, I have to go back.
Are you sure you want to go back?
Why do I never have answers.
This matches very well.
Beside me, in Joseon.
Let's live together.
Beside me, in Joseon.
Beside me, in Joseon, let's live together.
So you're here?
Follow me. Someone is expecting to see you.
Mom...
My dear, why are you crying?
What's the matter, huh?
My my...
Child.
Your Majesty.
How is it? This is Joseon's astronomy app.
With this, Joseon can develop its own calendar.
You helped me again.
What is this? You became ugly again.
I guess clothing is important to women. You look like some kind of a carp...
Did you cry?
I don't really like how you look right now.
But let's go anyway. I have something to show you.
Consonants and vowels, I have made total of 28 letters.
Now, you and the people of Joseon can read and write.
Anyone who wants to learn will be granted a chance.
Sit down.
Stay with me as long as the sun rises and sets.
This time, it is an absolute order.
These are the first few words I wrote in jungeum. (Old Hangul)
The name I have personally granted to you.
I really want to go back when the rain comes.
I think it will rain soon.
I still won't have answers even if I go back,
but I have many things I have to do.
There is someone who trusts and waits for me, like you.
I miss my mom so much.
Alright... Look at me.
You can come back after you meet her. How about living here all together?
I keep living while running away.
Then... What am I to you?
A dream.
A dream?
A dream may not go back.
This is an order.
It is a request from the king.
I am sorry.
In any case,
the future is a whole lot better than
this Joseon full of diseases and droughts.
Right.
Do what your heart wishes.
You are someone as nice as
a person I dreamed about.
Father!
Daughter! It is best to get rid of any likely problems.
No!
Please go back to your senses!
In a palace without anyone to talk to,
it was the first time of dreaming for a friend.
You asked me what I wanted. You scolded me for not having a dream.
My dream is
not feeling lonely in this nasty palace.
Dad!
Your Majesty!
It's too dangerous, Your Majesty. Please return back to your quarters.
Move.
Eunuch.
Eunuch...
It is this dangerous beside me, but
I tried to keep you next to me.
I'm sorry.
Your Majesty.
I heard the bomb disappeared last night.
You are the one I ordered to work on it. If you have anything to say, spit it out.
You rascal! Who do you think you are?
Your Majesty, please punish me for not preventing this.
I deserve to be abandoned.
That's right, I should get rid of you.
Didn't you teach him how to clean himself after dealing with the bomb?
Please forgive me.
- Why did that happen?- Your Majesty…
How could I, the one assisting you from this close, do such a thing?
It was this man's voice you heard, correct?
Yes.
No… How did you?
It will burn very rapidly. Let's go.
- It must be Kim Young Chul.- It's Kim Young Chul!
I can't do math, but I am good at recognizing voices.
You, who are in the position closest to me.
How can you do this to me?
Your Majesty.
If hanminjungeum (hangul) gets published, the young people will dare to develop and share their own thoughts.
A scary world without any discipline will come. The world will turn upside down.
Death doesn't scare me.
But, a future where we will be useless scares me.
Even if you stop me, I will give the the writing system to the people.
That's right. I will become the kind of king who does what the people want.
What if someone becomes useless?
It is a person anyway.
Don't abandon today and run away, for the sake of a day that hasn't come yet.
Don't be so afraid of your use in this world.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please execute me!
Please execute us!
That's your dream.
Everything should have been burnt. How could this...
Your dream will let everyone in Joseon read and write.
We will always be thankful and have good thoughts, so don't be too sad.
It must be true, the future you are trying to go to.
You finally believe me.
I apologize, but I don't think this can maintain my dream.
Because my dream is you. For the sake of Joseon, I need to keep you.
The answer I couldn't find no matter how much I thought is you.
Look, it is a rainy season in three years.
How did you know this?
Somehow, I just thought so.
Greet the teacher.
Alright, good work.
Ah, what's with this rain?
Joseon is livable even if you are not so good at math.
Let's go. I'll follow you as far as I can.
No, I'm alright.
Nonsense. It's an order.
Live well.
I'm leaving.
I'm thankful, friend.
What are you doing?
Last month's rent.
So you are going to be like this to the end.
My name is Yeon, Park Yeon.
You're not Jang Yeong Sil?
What are you talking about?
The music prodigy
Never give up on music, okay?
I'm really going now. Live doing what you want.
Park Yeon, Seok, goodbye!
Hyung.
Can't I ride in the front?
♫ It feels like you will appear from nowhere in a bright day ♫
♫ That naughty facial expression ♫
♫ A cold breeze blows over my head ♫
♫ Now is the time to say goodbye ♫
♫ Good bye to someone just starting a journey ♫
♫ We will meet again someday ♫
♫ Oh, just the way I loved ♫
♫ Your way of talking and just the way you smiled ♫
♫ If you think about it, it is the same place, this wind, sky and this complicated city ♫
♫ Oh you, if you close your eyes ♫
♫ I will be always waiting for you, standing right here ♫
♫ Please wish me luck, please show me your smile ♫
♫ I will not cry, goodbye ♫
♫ Don't turn back, don't just stand ♫
♫ Run without stopping ♫
♫ So that the song doesn't stop ♫
♫ I hope many stories and endless adventures will ♫
♫ be with you ♫
♫ I wish you good luck ♫
♫ A star that just started shining, a wind that blows hard ♫
♫ I won't cry, goodbye ♫
♫ An overwhelming day, after a long time ♫
♫ I hope this imperfect song gets to you ♫
♫ On this long journey, I hope endless blessings ♫
♫ will stay with you ♫
One day I will find you.
No matter how long a time may pass.
Hey, you...
♫ I wish you good luck ♫
♫ to be with you ♫
Wait... You...
Just come in and sit down.
In a moment, the test will begin.
Make sure you are in the correct seat, and get ready for the test.
This person not only has great craftsmanship,
but he is extraordinarily intelligent
that he discussed issues directly to me.
However, how can I call this an achievement?
He just made a water clock. Even if he got my help,
without this person, it would never have been made. ♫ Fading away in my memories ♫
If you are planning to give him a position, you would need his name. ♫ The name that is burnt in my heart ♫
That child's name is Yeong Sil. ♫ I am trying to call it and call it ♫
The is a clever ("yeong") and a full ("sil") name.
No, that's not it. I meant I can't get attached to him. ♫ Scattered in the wind ♫
♫ Your slender shoulders ♫
These are the first words I have ever written with jungeum.(Old hangul) ♫ like the clouds above ♫
♫ which follow time ♫
The name I have personally granted to you. ( Jang Yeong Sil )
♫ are dispersing into whiteness ♫
♫ I am missing you too much ♫ ( Jang Yeong Sil )
♫ You are so common that ♫
♫ Without touching a part♫
♫ The sky blazes and turns red ♫
♫ I really missed you, missing you ♫
♫ Because I missed you so much ♫
♫ Today, as well, we are together under the bright moonlight ♫
♫ Holding hands ♫
♫ Shining us ♫
♬ Having kissed ♬
♫ Unforgettable us ♫
♫I decided to ask everything. ♫
Work hard next time to come to the first row. How could they even rank cup ramens?
You are all precious. You are all uniquely tasty.
Did you register to the prep school I was going to?
Don't nag, freshmen. I will do that later.
Look at this, jaesoosaeng. (Someone who prepares to go to college even after graduating from high school.)
What is it?
Splash Splash LOVE?
This is a manhwa based on your dreams, and it has been getting so many hearts.
- Oh... - But I heard King Sejong had tons of women.
- Is that so?- Yeah.
He is known to give clementines to every woman he liked. Also he had twenty children in total.
They must get along well.
Who is that? He is so hot.
