"A thousand?" "Ten thousand?" "A million?" "Wrong" "You've never seen an apple before" "Not even once" "Up till now, you haven't seen an apple for real" "To really know what an apple is... to be interested in it, to understand it, to converse with it is really seeing it" "Gazing at it for a while and observing its shadow... feeling its every curve, turning it around, taking a bite out of it, imagining the sunlight absorbed in it..."

"The tree" "Why are you looking up the tree?" "To see it well" "To feel it, to understand its thoughts and... listen to what it says to me" "Hello?" "Who?" "Kibum's dad?"

"It's not in some special place, but somewhere you must wander around for" "It isn't waiting for you with a name plate... saying, 'poetic inspiration'" "The clear thing is, it is somewhere nearby, not far away" "It's there, right where you stand" "I told you poetry can be found even in the dishwashing basin" "Where are you?" "The car with blinking lights?" "Hello" "Hello" "You're Wook's grandma, aren't you?" "Are you Kibum's dad?" "Yes" "Let's get in the car" "Where are we going?" "You know our boys' group of six?"

"You mean singing traditional poetry?" "No, actually writing poetry" "Why are you learning poetry?" "I wonder myself" "Why am I learning poetry?" "Long ago, I must've been in the third grade... when we used to have poetry contests in the fall" "After one contest, my teacher told me," ""Mija, you'll become a poet one day"" "Then, recently I saw the literary class poster" "And it reminded me of the comment... my teacher made 50 years ago" "So you want to be a poet?"

"Where's she now?" "We talk about everything on the phone." "We're good friends" "Friends forever" "Anyway, what's this all about?" "Let's just go there first" "You'll see after you hear what they have to say" "It's not good news, right?" "I can feel it" "Right" "It is bad news" "A large spicy fish stew and steamed spicy angler fish..." "" "And 3 bottles of beer" "Okay" "I don't see your boss today" "He's away on business in Seoul" "So, he's not coming today?" "No" "We'll have the beer first" "Yes, sir" "Soonchang's dad, why don't you start explaining" "Let's start when the beers come We need to lift the mood..." "Do we need alcohol now?" "Let's start since we don't have much time" "Then I'll start" "I'll give you a short recap as some of you have no idea" "Recently, a girl at our boys' school, killed herself" "Her name's PARK Heejin" "Her folks run a farm nearby" "She kept a diary stating six male students... raping her for months until her death" "Reading her diary, her folks reported this to the school... who called the boys in to talk" "The six all admitted... to the crime, so I guess it must be true" "At first, it started with two boys," "KWON Soonchang" "That's my son" "And KIM Jongchul" "Yes, that's my son" "It's those two who started it" "And as time passed, all six of them joined in" "They say they didn't coerce her at first" "That she liked doing it" "Who would believe that?" "It would only incite more anger" "Yes, you're right" "Ladies first" "They said, the girl was short and plain-looking" "So I can't understand why they did it" "And if she was tall and pretty?" "Where in school did they do it?" "And for six months?" "They said they did it in the science lab" "KOO Taeyeol being leader of the Science Club, had the lab keys" "That's my son" "The lab's located in a secluded area" "And rarely had classes or was tended to" "So, nobody knew" "Although I feel sorry for... the dead girl, now's the time for us to worry about our own boys" "That's why I called everyone here" "Joint action is crucial now" "Right, we should act as a group" "Cheers, ma'am" "The girl's parents..." "run a farm?" "Yes, but her dad died... a few years ago from a motorcycle accident" "The mom has been raising the girl and her brother alone" "We need to calm the mom" "Fortunately, it seems she hasn't told anyone else" "But we can't tell what she's thinking" "Nevertheless, in order to console the victim's family..." "So the point is, the compensation money" "That's right" "Regarding the money, we should reach an agreement" "I discussed this with the school... and 30 million Won would be the proper amount" "So that makes it 5 million Won per person" "Who else knows about this?" "The principal and a few other teachers... and one or two in the police" "Our talks with the school and the police are going well so far" "The school doesn't want this to get leaked outside" "And the police doesn't want to investigate... unless the victim's family press charges" "The problem is that a local newspaper sniffed something... and are calling the school, asking questions" "The local press is insidious, so watch your mouth" "What's she doing over there?" "What a clueless old lady" "What's she doing at a moment like this?" "Did you say she's Wook's grandma?" "Is she raising him by herself?" "Her daughter left Wook... with her mom after her divorce and is in Busan now" "Unlike her looks, she's barely getting by" "She lives off government subsidy and her part-time maid job" "I think her daughter's not sending her money" "Then how's she gonna pay the 5 million Won she owes?" "She has no choice." "Her grandson's future depends on it" "Ma'am" "Are you writing a poem?" "Just taking notes" "We always have to take notes like this" "What have you written there?" "Blood..."

"With the vice principal?" "Yes" "What time?" "Not many at school know about this" "The discipline instructor here and I know" "And only the dead girl's homeroom teacher knows" "But not the boys' homeroom teachers" "I told the girl's teacher not to disclose this to anyone... as it will destroy the boys' future and the school" "So you should watch what you say" "You don't have to worry about us, sir" "Since the boys' future are at stake, we are being careful" "You cannot even sleep-talk" "Above all, hurry and settle with the girl's family" "How did you decide on the compensation?" "Everything considered, we've decided to pay 30 million Won" "We believe that amount will be adequate" "So, have you all agreed on the 30 million Won?" "Yes, of course" "Someone can't pay yet, but everyone has agreed" "Just hurry and settle things with the girl's family" "Okay."

"To write poetry is... to remember mother's hands, joint swollen, washing the white rice at cold dawn... during winter solstice" "Are you here alone?" "Yes, I heard there's a poetry reading" "Yes, please take a seat" "To write poetry is to wake alone deep in the night weeping" "It is to build a solid cornerstone... to raise a pillar... in your broken heart" "It is to calm the bare corner of the window, shaking all night, with all your might" "It is to empty out without hesitation... the rancid water that keeps rising" "It is to create a forest of empty void" "PEOPLE WHO LOVE POETRY FRID AY POETRY RECITAL" "They say people who love poetry... are those who always have flowers in their heart" "Our Ms. CHO Mihye not only has flowers in her heart, but has a pretty one covering her heart" "Thank you" "Next will be Mr. LEE Dongkyu in a red T-shirt... who will be reciting, Ms. CHO's 'A Green-colored Cicada'" "I always hear the sound of... a cicada emanating from your back" "It cries, chirr, chirr, rubbing its eyes" "As the stain of last summer's forget-me-nots fade from... my fingertips, the cicada keeps crying from your back" "I, too am crying... rubbing my wings" "This poem talks about a green-colored cicada, but I thought of an ordinary cicada" "In search of its mate, the cicada... for a short few days, cries to its fullest as if it's smashing summer to pieces" "I wonder if I could do the same" "Living as passionately as the cicada" "This thought continues to linger" "Thank you" "That was quite a commentary from the heart" "He must have worn a red T-shirt to show his burning passion" "Next will be Mr. PARK Sangtae who's come after a long time" "Although his leg is not well from an accident, he has kindly brought us a large watermelon" "Greetings" "I was actually here before" "Oh, I see..."
