Kim Yu-jong's Spring
"Marriage or not you have to grow first!"
I mean my future wife Jeom-soon, she has to grow. It's been three years and seven months since I've come here and worked for free. Still, she hasn't grown and I have no idea when she will. I had no idea she was growing sideways and not upwards like other people.

Lee Hyo-seok's "Buckwheat Flower"
"It seems like the story should be told under the moonlight"
"I can't imagine how that came to be now that I think about it"
The moonlight shines breathtakingly on a field full of buckwheat flowers. The scent is plaintive and even the donkeys walk like they're walking on air. Three people set out in a line of donkeys because of the narrow path. The sound of their bells sound out into the field of buckwheat flowers.

Hyun Jin-geon's "A Lucky Day"
The tear of a living person falls onto the face of his dead wife. Kim Cheom-ji rubs his face on hers and mumbles..."Why can't you eat the food I brought home? Why not...? I thought my luck was good today".
