Then you don't know how l got my wound?
You have a wound?

You don't have anywhere to go.
Make yourself comfortable and get some rest.

What? lt's gone bad. Hey, Mister!
Hello?
Your condition is getting worse.
With Broken Heart Syndrome...
usually the heart stops beating for 2 to 3 seconds.
But in your case, it stops for over 20 seconds.
Then l die?
To be honest, it could be days at this rate.
Anyway...
The pain will get worse. l'll give you a new prescription.

How dare you!
But...
Hey, Miss!

Take me back.
Sure. We'll go.
Hello? Yes, it's me.

l'm sorry. We were so busy...
ls she like this often?
She's been quiet...
But she insists on going home these days...
She keeps saying it's March 1985. Any ideas why?
lt's probably nothing.
Other than that, she's doing fine.
What's this?
Grandma's summer clothes.
Already? lt's months away.
l'll keep it safe for her till later.
How long has she been here?
Around 2 years?
She suddenly couldn't recognize me.
Still it's nice...
to see her yapping away again.
You lived with just your grandmother?
Yes, since l was young.
Grandma?
Stop trying to leave.
This is your home, now.
l can't come by, anymore.
Eat well.
Behave well.
You think she's listening?
Let's go after l come back from the bathroom.
Throw it out without anyone seeing you.
Don't take them, Miss.
Your mind will go blank and you lose your memories.
Trying to erase my memories and keep me from going home.
l won't eat it!
I reaIIy can't come anymore.
If my heart stops for 3 more seconds,
I am going to die.
Grandma...
You think there are such things as miracIes?
But I...
stiII wanna Iive.
Wait.
Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat.
You know what?
Soju tastes the best through a straw.
You know why?
First, it's cheap. Makes you drunk fast.
Why do you keep following me?
You called me first. Remember?
Anyway..
l'll show you around Seoul from tomorrow.
Okay? Got it?
l didn't come for sightseeing.
Then why did you?
Why'd you come?
Tell me.
Come on, it won't kill ya.
l was adopted abroad.
l don't believe you.
Then how's your Korean so good?
lf you're adopted then l'm British.
Who says adopted children abroad can't speak Korean?
Are you serious?
So you came to look for your real parents?
Did you find them?
Why are you so curious?
l'll help you find your parents.
Then...
you help me find the red rabbit.
Let me tell you a story.
l once saw a red rabbit.
l just don't remember where.
But l'm sure l saw a red rabbit.
That's why l have to find it.
Then...
l think l can live a little longer.
Hey, l graduated from the class of '95.
Fine, fine. Thank you, and you?
What's your name? l'm LEE Eun-sul.
May.
May...
Like in the 5th month.
My name means snow...
Then l guess l'm December.
Why don't people drink this with straws?
Why not drink with straws?
Why do you keep following me?
This is my house. Go in?
Going in.
Went in.
Hey! Where are you going!
