Eomma
(There was no gif of Ms. Pi from Snowdrop except the exercise one and I wasn't using that one... I swear it's so hard to find gifs when you're looking for a specific one.)
Flashback
A six year old Hana smiles as she watches the rabbit finishing up the carrot she fed it. It then faces Hana and jumps around her in a circle making her giggle. She waves at it as it hops away.
"You're welcome, Mr. or Mrs. Rabbit! Bye bye!"
Once the rabbit is out of sight, she looks around to see her teacher and classmates gone.
"Huh? Where did everyone go?" She asks, becoming afraid seeing that she's all alone and nearly screams when she sees a creepy man watching her.
"Sweetheart. Are you lost?"
She looks up to see a young woman approaching her who is revealed to be Seung Hee.
"Umm... I'm not supposed to talk to strangers but...that scary man is looking at me." Hana tells her with frightened eyes.
"You were taught well. My name is Sunny, what's yours?"
"Hana."
"Nice to meet you, Hana." Seung Hee offers her hand. "Come on. You tell me where you need to be and I'll protect you from that scary guy. Sounds like a good deal?"
Hana nods and takes her hand, making Seung Hee give her a sweet smile.
As the two walk though the playground, Seung Hee sends a dark glare towards the man who was watching her daughter. She already made sure to call the cops once she saw him before going over to Hana. Soon as they leave, a police car passes by them.
"Thank you for helping me, ma'am! You're really nice and pretty!" Hana says giving the woman a big smile.
"Oh? I think you're much prettier than me."
"No! You're prettier!" Hana giggles and is she feels something cold land on her cheek. She looks up to see that it has begun snowing. "Ooh! It's snowing!"
"...It is." Seung Hee says with a sad smile recalling how much she used to love the snow.
As she slowly looks down watching the snow falling, she nearly gasps and her eyes glisten with tears as she sees Il-sung on the other side of the street.
"...Il-Il-sung?" She asks shakily. He gives her a smile and after a car passes by, he is gone.
She takes deep breath and rubs her eyes before blinking multiple times to hold back the rest of her tears.
"I can't wait to see what eomma says about this! She said it wasn't supposed to snow today! Hehe!" Hana giggles.
Seung Hee tries to ignore the pain of hearing her daughter calling somebody else mother. Before she can say anything else, someone calls for Hana.
"Hana! Where are you?!"
"Oh, that's my teacher!"
"I have to go now, sweetheart." Seung Hee says making Hana look up at her with a frown.
"You look sad. I know what can cheer you up!" She gives her a butterscotch candy. "It'll make you feel better. And thank you for helping me!"
"You're welcome, Hana." Seung Hee then crouches down. "Make sure that you always stick with someone that you know. Call for help if you need it. And always remember what you were taught."
"Don't talk to strangers! Got it!" Hana gives her a hug, surprising the woman. "I hope we meet again, Ms. Sunny!"
Seung Hee nearly cries being able to hold her daughter again for the first time in years. She quickly hugs her back.
"That would be nice..." After a few more seconds, she pulls away and gently strokes her daughter's cheek. "Be a good girl, okay?"
Hana nods before giving her another big smile and going to join her teacher. Seung Hee gets up and runs into an alleyway, letting out a sob. After Hana explains to her teacher what had happened, she turns back to wave at Seung Hee and frowns when she sees she's already gone.
End of Flashback
The women wait in the basement while the guys went to go deal with Chung-ya.
"Is that why you kicked Young Ro out of instead of me? It wasn't right for her to go when Soo-ho is my boyfriend. So is that the reason why? Because I'm your daugh-" Suddenly Ms. Pi shoves a piece of orange into Hana's mouth.
"Be quiet and eat. You too Young Ro." Ms. Pi says in a stern tone while giving a orange slice to Young Ro. I'll tell you everything once the situation is settled."
"Ma'am... You knew that Soo-ho was in the dorm, didn't you? Because of that secret room..." Young Ro asks.
"What secret room?" Hana asks, confused to what she's talking about.
"...I was forced to work for the ANSP and keep an eye on all of you girls. My work for the ANSP had to be hidden from you all, so there's a hidden room in my office. There were listening devices in the dorm until Soo-ho removed them. But yes... Before all that, I knew that you girls were hiding him." Ms. Pi reveals, all the info shocking Hana. "Had Bun Ok not said anything, I would have continued pretending not to know."
"...But... But you chose to have me stay instead..."
"Because you are my daughter. I lost nineteen years with you, and I know it was selfish...but I wanted to keep you as close as possible... You coming to the dorm is the most time I've gotten with you after all these years, and I didn't want to lose that." Ms. Pi explains and gives Young Ro a guilty look. "I'm sorry, Young Ro."
Young Ro gives her a small smile and shakes her head. "It's okay, I understand. You don't need to apologize. I chose to take the blame myself."
"...Were you forced to work the ANSP because...because of me?" Hana asks, afraid to know the answer.
"Hana!" A familiar voice calls out and they look to see Bun Ok coming down the stairs.
They are shocked to see her back in the dress she wore on the blind date...
"They told you to come up since the spies are tied up." Bun Ok tells them with a smile.
"No, they didn't." Hana says frowning. "Why would they send you? And why are you dressed like that?"
"And they want us to come up this soon? It hasn't been that long since they left." Ms. Pi adds.
Bun Ok's face slowly darkens. "Of course, you don't believe me... You stopped trusting me a while ago."
She walks over to them and shocks them again when she pulls out a gun pointing it at Hana's forehead.
"Bun Ok, where did you get that gun? Put it down right now!"
"Don't move or I'll shoot!" Bun Ok yells, seeing Ms. Pi attempting to move towards them. She then grabs Hana's arm and roughly pulls her towards the stairs. "Now you're coming with me, or I'll shoot both of them."
"Bun Ok, please don't do this." Young Ro says, her eyes glistening with tears. "Just think about-"
"Shut up. If you two follow us, I'll shoot her." Bun Ok snaps and keeps a tight hold on Hana's arm. "Move. And don't even think about warning your boyfriend."
"Bun Ok, stop this!"
Hana looks back at her mother and Young Ro with a frightened expression. Afraid of them getting hurt, she walks forward with Bun Ok following behind her pointing her gun at the others making sure that they keep their distance.
"Who ordered you to kill me even though Director Lim Ji-rok and other departments said that I was to be kept alive? Who is your superior?" Soo-ho questions Gyeok-chan.
They all hear the door opening and they look to see Hana standing between the cracked door.
"Soo-" Before she can warn him, she is pushed in and screams out in pain as Bun Ok grabs her by her hair and points the gun at her head.
"HEY!" Soo-ho shouts and quickly pulls out his gun, pointing it at her.
"What the hell are you doing?! Why are you involving her?!" Gyeok-chan yells, worried for Hana.
"Untie the doctor and Gyeok-chan right now." Bun Ok demands.
"What do you think-" Kang Moo steps towards them making Bun Ok wrap her arm around Hana's neck, shoving the gun closer to her head. Hana is biting onto her lip to hold back her sounds of pain.
"Didn't you hear me?!"
Soo-ho walks slowly towards with a cautious look but the anger in his eyes is clear.
"Don't move." Bun Ok points her gun at Soo-ho when she notices him coming towards them. "Take one more step forward and I'll shoot."
"Hand the gun over and let her go." Soo-ho refusing to listen to her demands, still slowly walking towards them. However, he stops once she points the gun at his girlfriend's neck. "Hana... It's okay."
Bun Ok hears the door opening behind her and quickly pulls Hana over to the side. Ms. Pi and Young Ro come inside and their eyes widened seeing that Bun Ok still holding onto Hana while at gunpoint with the men.
"You still followed us anyway after I warned you not to." Bun Ok scoffs.
"Why are you doing this?! Are you trying to die?!" Ms. Pi yells with a look of disbelief.
"Stay out of this!"
"...Have you ever killed a person?" Soo-ho suddenly asks, surprising a few people in the room.
"Pull the trigger and it's over." Bun Ok answers with confidence.
"No. It's not over... The eyes of the first person you kill will haunt you forever. The eyes of the person whose life slips away will follow you around when you eat or sleep. Even in your dreams. Your life will be a living hell where you're chased by those eyes endlessly." Soo-ho tells her and his words seem to be affecting her. "I am trying to save all of us here. I'm trying to convince Comrade Kang and Joo to save everyone in here including all the hostages."
"Comrade Lim. ANSP agent. Put your guns down." Chung-ya says, surprising everyone else.
"Comrade Kang!" Soo-ho shouts.
"Shut up." Kang Moo snaps, now pointing his gun at her and looks back at Bun Ok. "If they hear a gunshot, they'll break in. The cafeteria and Room 203 are not guarded at all. They'll hold us down in three minutes." He then points his gun back at her. "You'll be arrested in three minutes."
"...No they won't. Why haven't they broken in already?" Bun Ok then shoves the gun at Hana's neck again making the younger girl no longer being able to hold back the cries of pain. "If you don't drop your guns in three seconds, I'll shoot her. One."
"Bun Ok, stop!" Young Ro cries.
"Comrade Kang, are you really okay with her shooting Hana?!" Gyeok-chan questions his comrade.
Chung-ya keeps an emotionless look on her face despite the conflicting feelings that has.
"Two... Drop your guns! I'll really shoot her! You don't think I can?! Drop your guns!"
Both men glance at each other and slowly put their guns down on the floor.
"Bun Ok...bring Hana over here." Chung-ya says and receives a nod.
"Step back." Bun Ok demands from the men, pointing her gun at them but they refuse to move. "Step back!"
"Bun Ok, put that gun down right now. You're only making things worse for yourself." Ms. Pi says, taking a few steps towards them.
"Shut your mouth. Or I'll tell these guys who you really are." Bun Ok says in an annoyed tone.
"...What?" Ms. Pi ask shocked, not sure of what the younger girl knows.
"Bun Ok. Hurry over here but be careful with her." Chung-ya says, interrupting them before Ms. Pi can asks what she means.
"Comrade Kang!" Gyeok-chan yells.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Ms. Pi screams at the younger girl.
"Eomma..." Hana silently cries making Ms. Pi's eyes widened."Eomma..."
"Mama!"
"See? She loves you- Wait... You just said your first word... She said her first word!"
"What did she just call you?" Bun Ok asks the older woman as herself and the two other spies look at her with a shocked expression.
"So Il-sung's wife is..." Gyeok-chan murmurs.
Seung Hee takes a breath and with zero hesitation, she walks forward and pulls her daughter out of Bun Ok's grasp, pushing her towards Soo-ho and Young Ro. The two catch Hana then he gently pushes the twins behind him. Seung Hee then forces Bun Ok to point the gun at her.
"What are you doing?" Bun Ok asks in a shaky voice, surprised by the older woman's actions.
"Shoot me then." Seung Hee says, squeezing onto the gun barrel.
"No..." Hana whimpers as Young Ro tries to calm her down and Soo-ho keeps his arm in front of her to keep her from going any further.
"...You don't think I can? The doctor said she'll save my father. I can't afford to miss this opportunity. I'm not going to miss it."
"Is that so? Then you're going to have to shoot me. SHOOT!" Seung Hee screams, squeezing the gun even tighter. But because of Bun Ok's hands shaking, she is unable to. "You foolish brat. Have you forgotten what happened to your sister? Do you want to end up like her?"
"...My sister was not a Northern spy." Hearing about her sister sets Bun Ok off and she rips the gun from Seung Hee's grasp. "She was not a Northern spy!"
"NO!" Hana screams as Bun Ok pulls the trigger and Kang Moo pulls Seung Hee away, covering her with his body.
However, no shot was fired. Confused, Bun Ok points the gun back towards Kang Moo and Ms. Pi and repeatedly pulls the trigger but nothing happens. The others sigh in relief as there were no bullets in the gun.
"Damn it." Bun Ok cries as she still continues to shoot the gun making Soo-ho snatch the gun from her.
"Comrade Kang. Why give her a gun at all if you didn't trust her?"
Bun Ok looks back at the doctor with a shocked expression before dropping to the floor, crying.
"...Eomma."
Seung Hee looks over to her crying daughter and goes over to her, wrapping an arm around her and placing a hand behind her head.
"Eomma." Hana cries, hugging her mother back tightly.
"My daughter." Seung Hee murmurs, shedding a tear.
"You girls go to the prayer room and tell everyone that they can wash up. We'll inform everyone of what's going on after." Seung Hee tells Hana and Young Ro but the latter is paying more attention to something else. "Young Ro?"
Young Ro looks down the hallway at Kang Moo, Soo-ho and Bun Ok who are standing near the stairs. After done pondering, she walks towards them.
"I'll take her to the basement." Kang Moo tells Soo-ho who nods.
"Wait."
Both men seeing Young Ro coming towards them and surprises them all when she suddenly slaps Bun Ok.
"...Did you just slap me?" Bun Ok looks at her with a shocked expression while holding onto her cheek. "You bit-"
"That was for threatening my sister's life and trying to kill Ms. Pi... I won't ever forgive you for that." Young Ro snaps before leaving for the prayer room.
"Oh my..." Hana watches the scene with widened eyes. "My twin is the coolest person ever! Ow, ow, ow! Eomma, why are you pinching my ear again?!"
"Why are you acting as if you're in theaters watching a movie? What's more important right now? Your hygiene or getting entertainment?" Seung Hee says in a stern tone before letting go of her daughter's ear.
"You didn't have to pinch me for that..." Hana pouts, rubbing her ear. "Roro! Wait for me!"
"Young Ro is back!" Seol Hui shouts making everyone look at the entrance of the prayer.
Hye Ryung and Jeongmin immediately stand up as Young Ro smiles at everyone. She then steps to the side, revealing Hana.
"Hana! You're okay!" Kyung Ja says with a smile, getting up from her seat.
Hye Ryung attempts to move towards the girls but stops when she recalls Chung-ya and Soo-ho's words...
"Because of your stupid plan, Hana got hurt... Are you sure I'm the one who will get her killed?"
"You never intended on telling Hana that you all were escaping so why should I tell you anything?"
She looks down at the floor, closing her eyes to hold back the tears. She then feels someone wrap their arms around her, knowing it's Hana.
"I know what you're thinking and it's not your fault. You were only looking out for me as you always do." Hana says, gently patting Hye Ryung's back. "And don't even think about apologizing. You nor my silly twin should feel sorry for anything."
"Why am I still silly?" Young Ro asks, pouting and joining in on the hug.
"Wait, don't leave us out!" Seol Hui whines as her and Jeongmin join the hug as well.
"...I know I don't say it a lot but...I love you." Hye Ryung begins crying and Hana tightens the hug.
"Who doesn't love me?" Hana giggles. "I love you too. I love all you guys."
Soo-ho now freshened up and in new clothes, comes out of bathhouse to see his girlfriend waiting for him.
(Couldn't help myself! This outfit is so cute, and it was screaming Hana! I was trying to find something with jeans but outfits from this timeline aren't easy to find.)
"Soosoo! I have something that belongs to you." She giggles, finally returning his jacket after many months.
He smiles taking the jacket back and putting it on. He then takes a step closer to her and gently caresses the top of her head.
"Does your head still hurt?" He asks in a concerned tone, and she shakes her head. "...I'm sorry. For everything. You're going through all of this because I-"
"Stop it." She gives him a hug. "I understand that you never meant for this to happen. You're not an evil mastermind who set all this up... But you should talk to the others."
"By others you mean Young Ro, Hye Ryung, Seol Hui and Jeongmin?" He asks pulling back from the hug.
She nods making him sigh. "Come on. Young Ro said she's already forgiven you so that's a good start. I know you still love them...but I know you love me more." She giggles when he tickles her. "And I can tell they still love you despite everything. They're hurting and so are you. So isn't it a good idea for you all to talk and work things out? Even if they might not forgive you right away, you'll know that there's hope."
"...What did I do to deserve you?"
"Hmm... Liking paper airplanes." She answers making him chuckle. "Soosoo? Remember when you teased me last time?"
She gives him a mischievous smile and goes in for a kiss. She giggles seeing him caught off guard and runs away.
"Ha- Nam Hana! Come back here!" He shouts after snapping out of it and chases after her.
"No!"
Soo-ho and Kang Moo stand in front of everyone in the prayer room, giving them the truth about situation.
"What? So are you saying our government planned this whole hostage situation with the North to win the presidential election?" Man Dong asks.
"That's right." Soo-ho answers. "I was just ordered to have Professor Han defect to the North. I didn't come here to kill you or hold you hostage here. While being chased unexpectedly, I ended up holding you hostage... I understand it would be hard for you all to believe me. After I pointed a gun at you. Threatened you. Frightened you." He looks over at the Room 207 girls with an apologetic look while saying the last part. "Anything hurtful that I said, I never meant it. I only said them out of anger of the situation that we've been put in. I understand if I can't be forgiven... But I truly am sorry for everything."
"...This is ridiculous. What kind of nonsense is this?" One of the other dorm girls says.
"Take down the communist party. Defeat the-" Byung Tae quickly shuts up when he sees the glare that Hana is giving him.
"I know it's absurd and hard to believe, but it's true." Kang Moo backs up Soo-ho. "I had no idea and escaped without the spies knowing yesterday afternoon to have the SWAT team break in to save you... But they shot at me."
This causes many gasps, shocked expressions and questions from the students.
"They're capable of much worse things than this." Jeongmin stands up and turns to face everyone else. "My cousin was a member of the labor union at his work. He was dragged to the re-education camp and died... They don't hesitate to kill people who cross them. Of course they're capable of this."
Jeonmin's words begin making Hana think about what happened to her real father.
"...Whatever. Whether it's true or not, what's that have to do with me? Release me right now. I have to study. The bar exam is soon!" Kyung Ja speaks causing eye rolls and looks of disbelief.
"You have no idea how serious this is. It's not the time to be selfish. If anything goes wrong, the ANSP will kill us as well as the spies. If they can win the election, thirty people's lives? It's nothing to the ANSP." Seung Hee says while walking towards the front and stopping by the Room 207 girls row and looks at her daughter and Young Ro.
"All right. I'll be straightforward." Sang Beom speaks up when getting up. "So are you saying if we escape this place, they're going to shoot at us just like they did with him?"
"I hope such a thing wouldn't happen." Kang Moo says seeing the worried looks. "But it might happen, so I'm saying we should protect ourselves. The South or the North, the higher-ups don't give a damn about our lives right now."
Soo-ho looks at the twins seeing the guilty looks on their faces. "...We have eight days left now. Eight days until the election. Mr. Lee and I will find a way for us to get out alive until then. As of this moment, you're free to do whatever you want within the dorm."
"Don't forget that every entrance and exit is booby-trapped." Kang Moo adds. "I know it's hard for all of you, but we must work together to if we're going to beat them. I hope no one will try to escape alone to save their own skin."
"I think you should supervise the students from now on, Ms. Pi." Soo-ho suggests and receives a nod from the hall director.
"Hold on." Hye Ryung says and stands up. "There's someone that we need to punish first. Where's Bun Ok? She had a gun and was tormenting us."
"We know. She's already been dealt with. They tied her up in the basement so we don't need to worry about her anymore." Hana says, grabbing Hye Ryung's arm making her sit back down.
As Seung Hee talks to everyone about the sleeping arrangements, Hana notices Hye Ryung watching Soo-ho as he leaves.
"You all should go talk to him. You guys too. It's okay if you can't forgive him right away but he really is sorry."
"...What if we can't forgive him? What if I don't want to?" Hye Ryung asks.
"Seol Hui still called him oppa in her sleep. You were worried he was going to get shot by Gyeok-chan during their fight." Jeongmin exposes the two making Hye Ryung give her a glare and Seol Hui look away embarrassed. "And yes, I was angry but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to hate him. So admit that you still care about him."
"Yah! You wen- Ow!" Hye Ryung annoyingly looks back at Hana who just pinched her.
"It's a prayer room! No swears!" Hana scolds her with a stern look only to get flicked on the forehead. "Ow!"
"Lim Soo-ho!" Hye Ryung shouts.
Soo-ho comes to a stop and turns around, surprised to see the Room 207 girls except Hana running towards him. Once they reach him, he takes a deep breath.
"I-" He becomes surprised again when Hye Ryung suddenly hugs him.
"This doesn't mean that I forgive you... But it's a start." She mutters.
"Wow... I never thought there would be a day you would give this man a hug. You love him that much?" Jeongmin teases and joins the hug.
"Shut up!" Hye Ryung yells at her.
"I've missed this!" Seol Hui giggles as she joins in on the hug. "Oppa, let's go do karaoke again sometime. But you have to let me get the high score then I'll fully accept your apology!"
"If you want my forgiveness then buy me that book collection that I've been wanting to get." Jeongmin says.
"I already accepted your apology so..." Young Ro laughs and completes the group hug.
"...I'm sorry... And thank you." He says with a small smile.
All of a sudden, they hear a shutter sound and giggling. They look to see Hana standing nearby with a camera.
"Hey..." Hye Ryung moves away from the group hug. "What do you think you're doing? Did you really just take a picture?"
"Memories! You're making progress in rebuilding your friendship, so we need proof of this beautiful moment." Hana says with a smile.
Hye Ryung scoffs. "I don't want people seeing that I hugged this punk." She then puts out her hand. "Give it to me."
"...No!" Hana quickly makes her escape.
"Wh... That little-" Hye Ryung chases after her. "NAM HANA! COME BACK HERE AND GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!"
The others glance at each other and begin laughing as they watch Hye Ryung chase Hana around like a madwoman.
"What happened to her?" Kang Moo asks seeing the couple approaching him.
"Ugh... I'm so tired." Hana groans as Soo-ho gives her a piggyback ride. "Mr. Lee! You're a cop. Can you arrest someone who chased me for twenty minutes?"
"Hana, you would have Hye Ryung arrested?" Soo-ho asks with an amused smile.
"Why not? She always threatens to take my butterscotch away and makes me drink white milk as a punishment." She replies with a pout.
"I protected you, didn't I? I held her off while you went to go hide the camera."
"Yeah but that didn't stop her because she went right back to chasing me!" She whines.
Both men give each amused looks before chuckling.
"Come on. Let's go in." Kang Moo says before opening the door to the lounge.
The trio go inside to see Ms. Pi already sitting down with a serious expression.
"I never thought this day would come. I hoped that it wouldn't because it would mean that I would have to tell you everything... The dark secrets of the ANSP. Of Nam Tae-il. The ones responsible of tearing our family apart... Are you sure you're ready to know the whole truth?"
I'm back! For those of you who didn't know, I announced that I was out of town for a break which is why they weren't any updates.
Here we are... Episode eleven! We're almost there ya'll... I can't believe it... This episode will be split into three parts and Hee Tae will be making a return very soon! You'll find out why he wasn't around and what he's been up to!
What did you think of the young Hana and Ms. Pi flashback? And that moment where Hana called her mom that made Ms. Pi recall Hana's first word when she was a baby? I was looking up Korean baby words and I literally could not find the word for mama, so I just put mama instead.
I changed up the Bun Ok part because I didn't like how Young Ro and Ms. Pi were so trusting of her after all that she had done and how she acts. So what did you think about Young Ro slapping Bun Ok? I feel it was a little out of character but I wanted her to have another big moment and I did it for the parallels that I didn't notice before...
Hana protected Young Ro from getting slapped by her stepmom. Soo-ho protected Young Ro from getting slapped by Chung-ya.
Hana slapped Soo-ho for his treatment towards Young Ro. And now Young Ro slapped Bun Ok for threatening Hana and almost killing Ms. Pi.
Bun Ok deserved that slap and getting tied up and her mouth duct taped which should have been done in the show. So since they didn't do it, I did. So Bun Ok is no longer going to be a problem...for now.
What did you think of Soo-ho's apology? I didn't want to drag things out for too long with the Room 207 girls because there aren't that many episodes left. And Hye Ryung is captain of the ship so there's lot of Soona goodness coming very soon!
Next chapter we finally learn what happened to Il-sung and why Hana was taken from Seung Hee.
