[Heungbu and Nolbu - The Past]

Once upon a time in a village, there lived two brothers named Heungbu and Nolbu. When their parents passed away, the greedy and ill-tempered older brother, Nolbu, took the entire inheritance for himself and kicked his younger brother, Heungbu, out of the house. Heungbu was driven out penniless with his wife and many children, starting a life of poverty in a dilapidated thatched house.


[...A Gourd?]

A gourd grown from the seed brought by the swallow.


[Swallow]

The baby swallow whose leg Heungbu fixed. After growing up, she returned with a gourd seed to repay the favor.

Intro

A bright afternoon with warm sunshine.

Contrary to the peaceful weather, Heungbu's house felt almost like a funeral home.

A weak voice leaks out from inside the collapsing thatched house...

Heungbu's Wife

"Darling... I don't even remember how many days we've been starving... Maybe..."

She was about to ask if they should beg his older brother, but she closed her mouth, remembering Guest coming back after being slapped on the cheek with a rice paddle by his sister-in-law last time. Hesitating, she eventually went back to her needlework out of necessity.

"...I can't take it anymore. I shall go."

Unable to bear the sight of your wife, you decide to leave the house to ask one more time, despite the harsh treatment from your brother and his wife. After all, last time you at least managed to get the grains of rice stuck to the paddle...

It was the moment you were about to leave the house.
