They think I'm an alien.
You don't believe me.
Do I have to?
I guess not.
Is that all you could come up with? Aliens?
What's wrong with that?
Couldn't you think of something better?
Who'd believe you if you say E.T.'s your cousin?
You've changed. You used to believe me.
That's because I've grown up.
I'm not the kid who used
to blow kisses to Tirukakak Kurukur Kantapia Saurus anymore.
You remember his name!
Jo-kang?
I'm hungry.
This looks great!
We could have gone to a better place.
Wow!
They look so good!
How can I possibly eat them?
Why not?
I can't destroy a work of art!
Here. Have a drink.
Mr. CHA, I'd like to get hammered tonight.
Alcohol should be taken
in moderation, but it's always better to drink lots of it!
Can we have some privacy?
You stay out of this.
It melts in my mouth!
He doesn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom.
Yes, I do.
I do. I really do.
He says he does.
Okay...
By Lake Soyang...
When the sun sets...
Singing in the field of reeds...
You sad little cuckoo bird...
Sad little birdie... My pure, strawberry...
Then what happened?
Then they kidnapped me!
How awful!
They said I have to go to NASA.
NASA? What the heck is that?
The place that makes spaceships.
Oh! That NASA.
It seems my magnetic field is
attracting UFOs.
How do they know that?
Because UFOs appear everywhere I go.
That's how my identity was revealed.
What identity?
I'm an alien, of course.
Oh! Of course...
Those jerks wanted to use me to get UFOs.
Why'd they kidnap a pretty girl you look?
They wanted to steal the aliens' super technology!
Those bastards!
Let's pick up here after I come back from the bathroom.
Sure.
Did you get to ride on a spaceship?
I had to. Buses don't travel through outer space.
What should we do tomorrow?
If a spaceship does come, will you send me off?
How will you get a spaceship to come here?
Will you?
Since when did you need my permission?
Promise me you'll say goodbye with a smile.
Let's go to the movies tomorrow.
And go to a great restaurant.
Let's have a real date.
I'm going to the States tomorrow.
Don't go.
Please. Don't go.
If you were going to leave, why did you come back?
Please don't go.
You're just like a little kid.
You don't look well.
I didn't get any sleep.
This is the line. Don't come any farther.
Stop.
Don't you dare cross it.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Please come again.
Hello?
Jun-cheol?
Aren't you coming to visit me?
I got into an accident!
My whole body's a mess.
My legs and neck are killing me.
Can you come visit?
I'll be there tomorrow.
Can you pick up some
peaches on the way over? Thanks.
Excuse me? Nurse!
I thought I was going to die.
And then, the car crashed into mine from the back!
It was a real mess.
Wanna hear a funny story?
This is pretty cute.
Yeah, it is.
Want to hear something?
Go ahead.
I heard it does you good
to put a snail on your tongue.
What?
It increases your virility!
Doctor? Is that true?
Why are you talking nonsense?
Don't you mean eggs?
Isn't that Ari?
Ari?
It certainly looks like her.
Excuse us!
Ari?
Ms. KIM Eun-jeong! Come with me.
It wasn't her?
KIM Eun-jeong?
I guess it's not her.
He knows I'm here.
That's not good.
I want to leave.
And go where?
That place you told me about.
You do realize, once you get in, it's hard to come out.
I don't care.
But...
You owe me a favor.
What?
You said it's just a cold. Why couldn't you cure it?
Don't say that.
You'll be very bored here without me.
You won't find a doctor as good as me, though.
I t must have been
someone else.
Besides, all women look the same from the back.
See?
Look at that one!
One time, I was...
I have to go.
All right. Don't forget to bring the peaches next time.
My doctor told me
about a better place. It's free.
How's the exhibition coming along?
My friends are helping me. But you're not invited.
Why not?
I don't like the pictures.
How do I look from the back?
Can you tell it's me?
Thanks.
Look over there!
How've you been?
Why are there no customers?
Business has been slow ever since you left.
I told you this is a bad location.
We should have listened to you.
Where have you been?
Around.
Why did you disappear like that?
Yeah. You always do that.
That way, you're more happy to see me.
You're so strange.
I can never understand you.
You're having a photo exhibition?
Wow! Congratulations!
- When is the exhibition? - You must be so happy!
Where is this going to be?
It'll hurt a little.
You must be full of worries.
What do you mean?
You're just so handsome. Do women leave you alone?
Well, actually...
Ha! That's a laugh.
Tell me if you're feeling sick or nauseous.
I'm not going to tell you.
Why not?
You refused to let me
go to my own exhibition!
You know we have rules here.
Doctor, please...
There's nothing I can do.
You're going to die anyway.
Just make a run for it.
I'll talk to the director about it.
Thank you, Doctor.
When you're feeling blue...
Just sing a song...
What's that you're looking at?
Um...
I know you're feeling bad about what you said.
Come here.
What do you think?
Is he your boyfriend?
He believes everything I say.
He even believed me
when I said there are ghosts in my village.
He must be really stupid.
He is. He's stupid for waiting for me.
Does he know you're here?
Invite him over sometime.
And tell him to bring a friend.
I'd like to meet him. Don't you miss him?
Eun-jeong...
How many times do
I have to tell you to bring peaches?
I didn't sleep a wink.
I thought about peaches all night.
Let me.
This is cold! Isn't there anything hot?
I'm supposed to be a patient.
Caffeine can't be good for me.
I should be having peaches.
- Let me help you. - They're healthy.
What would you like?
Coffee.
You're too young for coffee. Have the orange juice.
Here. Take it.
Where did you get this? Huh?
Did someone give this to you?
Tell me!
A lady...
Who? Was it Ari?
No...
Then who?
Eun-jeong gave it to me.
Don't make the kid cry.
Hey! Where are you going?
It's okay, kid. Ow!
Tell me what's going on.
I need to know!
Please!
My darling...
Dad!
Your mom and dad...
I know what happened, Uncle.
It's all my fault.
You're sorry? You're sorry!
We feel awful...
It's from the blood transfusion?
And you call yourselves doctors?
Can I help you, little lady?
Sir? What is AIDS?
What?
AIDS.
AIDS is like the aliens' cold.
If you eat well and study hard,
the aliens will come to give you their medicine.
High Mortality Rate the aliens will come to give you their medicine.
No Known Cure Highly Contagious
And soon, you'll get all better.
Where are we going, Uncle?
Home.
But it's dark out.
We have to go. This place is bad.
I'm going to give you a new name.
Is this our house?
That's right.
Do I have to become a priest?
Do you want to?
No. I want to be a photographer. Just like daddy.
I see.
Why did you become a priest, Uncle?
You shouldn't call me Uncle anymore.
Why not?
Just do as I say.
Okay, Uncle.
Okay, Priest...
Let's go inside.
You shouldn't touch me, Priest.
My body is full of bad germs.
Thank you.
Priest?
Do you like that woman?
More than you, Eun-jeong.
What is it you like about her?
She's pretty.
Prettier than me?
She's more my type.
And what type is that?
What type?
The Ari type.
You two look good together.
You're in trouble.
Why?
I poured Super Glue all over my arm.
We're stuck now.
We have to go to the bathroom
together like this.
Good. I've always wanted to go to the men's room.
They must have Super Glue on them, too.
If an MP sees them, that guy will go to jail.
Why?
He's broken the rules.
He'll be sent for 15 days.
For walking arm-in-arm?
The enemy is watching him.
What enemy?
North Korean spies! They'll send his pictures
to the North.
They'll take us for fools when
they see guys like him.
That's ridiculous.
It's a psychological war.
I had a friend who got sent to
jail for 30 days.
You said it was 15.
He had a girl on each arm.
That's nonsense.
I was jealous of him.
Give me a piggyback ride.
Till where?
My house.
One day, a farmer woke up
to find strange shapes in his garden.
They weren't been
man-made.
Some people called it a sign,
and others thought it a prank.
They are called mystery circles.
I think
they are signs left by aliens.
Praying and hoping for a spaceship...
The owner of this cafe saw
a UFO 4 years ago.
But nobody believed him,
so he built a cafe here.
Really? That's pretty cool.
If it does come, will you send me off?
No. I'm coming with you.
You can't come with me, dummy.
Then I'll ask them to help you,
so you can stay here.
That way, we can get married.
We'll be very happy.
And we'll be forever indebted to their
good nature.
Just let me go with a smile.
No.
Please?
No way.
Even if I die?
This Super Glue must be really strong.
This feels nice...
I'm going to take a nap.
Watch your feet!
Ari!
Come inside, Jo-kang.
I feel more comfortable here.
I'm sorry...
Ari would prefer it this way.
So we can rob the bank together and
buy a Russian spaceship.
I'm going to use that to get off this planet.
What for?
Because this isn't where I belong.
They are called mystery circles.
I think
they are signs left by aliens.
Praying and hoping for a spaceship...
It's not a lenticular cloud. That's for sure.
How did you take this?
This is the picture taken by
a news photographer.
Their speed, their shape...
They're one and the same.
Are you saying it's a UFO?
They look like carbon copies.
People would think it's fake.
Shouldn't we go visit Eun-jeong?
If I make one of these,
will a spaceship come?
They left you these pictures...
Eun-jeong...
Byeon-ja...
Yeah?
I have a favor to ask you.
All right. Thank you.
Look!
That's all?
Do you know how hard it was to find these?
Jo-kang? Aren't you coming to pick me up?
I don't like flowers with thorns.
Jo-kang?
Thank you.
You cannot pass!
Please let her go.
Byeon-ja! You know our rules!
No! Stop!
Wait! Dr. KANG!
Are we going to stay here?
You'll get sick if you leave.
But you called for a spaceship.
What if it really comes?
But Ari, that's just...
If you don't believe in it, why did you make one?
I want to see it.
Eun-jeong! Eun-jeong!
Eun-jeong!
You two make a pretty pair.
What happened back there?
Are you fugitives?
What's your destination?
Outer space.
That's quite far from here.
I used to be fascinated with
outer space as a kid.
I'm certain there are aliens out there.
Ever hear about dark circles?
It appeared on a farm once.
Aliens do exist. I'm sure of it.
Jo-kang?
Will you send me off?
I have to.
With a smile?
With a smile.
Don't forget. You're the first human to have dated an alien.
You should be proud of yourself.
But you look like a human being.
Would you rather I look like E. T?
No.
What's wrong with E. T? He's a cute little fellow!
Am I too heavy?
Don't talk to me.
I don't think the spaceship can handle your weight.
What?
I was kidding.
You're light as a feather.
Your back is nice and wide. Jo-kang?
Yeah?
CHA Jo-kang.
What is it?
I love you...
What?
I didn't say anything.
Yes, you did.
Was it something about me?
I said you're handsome.
That's nothing new.
I was only kidding.
Jo-kang! Where are you?
Are you cold?
No... It was really cold back then...
The day you were looking for my lizard in the mud...
It was really cold back then...
Is this a little better?
Don't you know heat travels from high to low places?
My heat is being
transferred to you.
Am I warm?
You are. You're like a stove.
You were really warm, too,
when we were under my raincoat...
It felt really nice...
I'm returning the warmth you've given me.
I'm getting sleepy, Jo-kang.
The ship will be here soon.
You have to stay strong.
Look! I see one coming!
Come on, Ari.
You're supposed to be an alien. Come on.
I see it coming now.
It'll be here in a minute.
Why isn't it coming?
Can't they see the sign?
I can't believe you believed me.
Ari?
Ari!
Ari? Remember this?
The Turtle Crane...
Scholar Chichi Woolly...
What's after that?
Frida Kang...
Methuselah Cloudy...
Hurricane Wall...
Cat Dog Dolly!
I love you... Ari...
I'm sorry...
I love you...
I'm sorry...
I love you...
I'm so sorry...
What should I do with you, Jo-kang?
- Ari! - Don't!
This is the line. Don't come any farther.
I'm not going to listen to you this time!
If you turn around, you might go blind.
Jo-kang, please...
If I leave,
don't wait for me to come back.
I won't.
You get sick when you're here.
I have to go.
Goodbye...
Ari!
Don't look back!
If you look at me,
I won't be able to leave...
Jo-kang...
Don't worry, Priest. I've got a plan.
This will protect the other kids from me.
What's that?
Isn't it scary?
This will scare the teachers. They won't come near me.
Ari, Jo-kang
Ari, with her yellow raincoat and white lies...
And me, who believed every word she ever said...
What little time we had has
now become memories...
Mrs. CHA! I'm here!
- Oh! How are you, Jun-cheol? - I see business is going great.
People might not believe it, but she was from outer space.
And she's gone back to her hometown.
Two Ari Specials!
Whenever I'm feeling particularly blue...
I look at the empty table reserved for her.
When I do, I am reminded of her pretty smile.
Love is remembrance.
Even though she is gone,
my heart still remembers her.
Sometimes, I open up my chest of memories,
hoping to keep them locked in my heart forever.
I can feel it.
I feel the rush of emotions
I felt when I first saw her...
Ari must have sent me a sign.
I have to send one back.
