ARCHITECTURE 101
- Up all night? - Morning, Chief.
Tired?
Ow, my back.
Gotta let the world know you worked all night?
Pretty clever.
You changed the floor plan?
Isn't it a bit too flashy?
I designed it pretty, didn't I?
Pretty isn't everything.
Clients love this kind of stuff.
The design has to be flashy to look good.
Go to a sauna. The meeting's at 2 p.m.
Why do I have to meet the clients?
You're the designer.
Let me get off work.
Haven't been home in 2 days.
No smoking in the office!
Second-hand smoking is bad.
Think of how much worse it is for me then.
You have a visitor.
Me? Who?
A friend of yours.
My friend? Who?
How would I know!
It's been a while.
The alumni directory is good. I'm glad I found you.
How've you been?
Who... may I ask?
You don't remember me?
Well...
1st year in college Yang Seo-yeun.
Back in Jeongneung...
the music major.
Oh, right! Yang Seo-yeun!
Jeongneung...
What brings you here?
How can you forget me?
I didn't. It's just been so long.
Ages.
I didn't change much.
Still, we got older.
Where do you live?
Gaepo-dong.
Married?
3 years ago.
What does your husband do?
A doctor.
What's his specialty?
What is this, census?
It's Jeju-do.
When can you start?
Start what?
What?
Why would I come to you?
You build houses for a living.
Build me one.
Come on.
I can't.
Why?
I've never done this.
Good, then start with mine.
Look.
I'll refer you to someone who can do it.
A close friend will be better than us.
Why?
Is it the money?
Of course not.
Then do it.
That's not it. A company has rules.
Look.
The CEO's at the top.
Then the manager.
Then there are employees like me.
Salary men.
I can't take just anything.
The company won't do it.
Of course we'll do it. We appreciate it.
Lee Seung-min.
It's your first house.
Do a good job.
If we start soon, will it be done before winter?
Let's go down look around.
Before that...
why're you building it?
What do you mean?
A rich woman like you?
Why insist on building a house down on an island?
For what?
The air is nice.
Your husband must make a lot to build a house anywhere.
It's investing?
Right. Jeju-do is a hot spot.
You can make tons.
You talk so nicely.
So I'm flaunting money.
Still. I can rebuild a house.
If you don't want to, don't.
I'm not begging anyone for anything.
What a waste of my time.
Here.
And this.
Why's the reason so important?
Think I won't pay up?
It's not that.
I should know so I can build a house that suits.
I have to know you better
to make a suitable house.
So, you want to know more about me?
Curious about me?
After college I tried to become an announcer
but failed.
So. I just got married.
And you?
Do you still live in Jeongneung?
Yeah.
How many kids?
None yet.
Why?
Just somehow. I guess.
This is my dad's place.
When he comes out, I want him to live here comfortably.
Is that reason enough?
It's a mess.
The framework is fine.
But it's over 30 years old.
Houses are strong like that.
What's this?
Someone worked on it?
Dad wanted to expand but never finished coz he got sick.
It's been like this since.
I want it all down
and built new, properly.
This is still here?
Dad measured my height here.
I was so small.
My dad made this, too.
When I was 6,
I stepped on it before it hardened.
I grew so much,
I designed it very flexibly
with the site's shape in mind.
By putting an atrium inside the house,
the living space becomes more dynamic.
With the skip floor,
the levels are amplified.
It adds rhythm to the boxy shape,
and draws in the landscape.
Know what I mean?
I think this is the solution.
- By dividing the space. - But...
What?
Why's everything in English?
You don't know,
but this design is...
I said. I don't like it.
Don't try to change me.
But I liked your clothes today.
Except for the tie.
Really? Don't like my tie?
So, my design was like this tie?
Show me what a good tie is then.
Still, you've improved a lot from the old days.
What was Mr. Lee like?
Ghastly.
Not popular with the girls at all.
- Hes still like that. - Really?
You two dating?
A duo?
How did you two meet?
I'm curious.
You had different majors.
Did you meet on a blind date?
Oh, he didn't tell you?
He chased me around campus.
What creative story is that?
Let's think about Seoul,
the city we live in.
We eat, drink, go to school,
and do everything here.
But do we really know this city well?
It's a big place.
So. I prepared a map to.
Whose beeper is that?
Turn it off during class.
Look. Mark it off like this.
As for me,
I take bus 38 from here.
To here.
Then here.
- Focus! - Then I transfer to bus 143.
Like this.
Then arrive here.
Come up one by one
and mark your routes to school.
You live in Seocho-dong?
Yes, right here.
- Then, wheres Bogwang-dong? - Bogwang-dong?
Is that in Seoul?
It's here, north of the river.
Don't you know?
I don't know north of Han River.
You live in Jeongneung?
Yes.
Who's entombed there?
King Jeongjo?
King Jeongjong?
Jeong Yak-yong?
By next week, please submit a report.
Tour around the area you live in.
The alleys and buildings you walked past without notice.
Closely examine them.
And take pictures.
Liking your neighborhood
and understanding it.
That's where architecture starts.
Understood?
Jae-wook! Buy me lunch.
Do I look like a meal ticket to you?
Seniors are supposed to buy juniors food.
Who says that?
- My old tutor. - Hi. Jae-wook!
Seo-yeun.
I'll get going.
How was the class? Not too hard?
It's okay.
Tell me if you need anything. I'll buy lunch.
Take care.
Bye.
Who's that?
A music major in our radio club.
Why's she taking architecture?
Many other majors take this course.
Many girls, too.
That's why you're taking this course over?
Shut up!
Come over next week
and help make a floor model.
Then buy us food.
Hey!
Doesn't your mom give you food?
Does she hate you?
Seung-min!
Hi. Baffle!
- Coming from school? - Yeah.
- Know that girl? - What? No.
Wherever ya going?
The library, where else.
How's studying?
Repeating really sucks.
I hate studying.
And you? Find a girl?
No, man.
That's baffling, man!
You go to college to date girls!
Who's that? Know the kid?
She's no kid, man.
She's my girlfriend.
A high school girl?
Who else can a repeater date?
A middle school kid?
- Fool. - What?
What's with your hair, college man!
What?
Use it when you go on blind dates.
What is it?
You need major help. Hold this.
Shake it like this.
Then foam comes out.
Then you put it on your hair like this.
- All back straight. - Stupid.
No. You are.
Slick it back. You'll look cool.
- How embarrassing. - See ya.
Man.
Man!
Mom!
Throw out the stuff rotting in fridge.
Shut up!
Come here and help.
I have homework.
Gotta go.
That little.
GUARDIAN TREE
Am I out of film? Why isn't it working?
That's odd.
Wow, an ant!
You know me, right?
Pardon?
Aren't you in Architecture 101?
Are you in 1st year?
Yes.
Architecture major?
Yes.
Have you lived here long?
Yes.
How long?
Since I was born.
So, this is your hometown?
Then you must know the neighborhood well
I just moved here.
That's an abandoned house.
- Why? - What?
Well. I'm not sure why.
Ah, Miss?
Wait! That's someones house.
It's trespassing.
It's so pretty.
Maybe we shouldn't touch anything
I'm just bringing it back to life.
Wait, Miss.
Sit down.
It's so nice.
By the way,
why's a music major taking Architecture 101?
How'd you know that's my major?
Jae-wook told me in passing.
He did?
How about this?
I'm not an architect major and don't know the area.
But that's your major and you lived here long.
So, let's do homework together.
That's fair, right?
How's that fair, Miss?
Stop calling me Miss.
We're the same age.
I will, Miss.
Let's speak casually. I already am.
You do it, too.
Yes, of course.
Come on!
I will, Miss.
Go ahead.
I will, Miss. I will.
Just do it!
But we just met.
I'll try.
This week, let's go to the farthest place.
What's the farthest from your home?
What is the definition of far?
Ever thought of that?
Mom!
I need this washed and dried.
How do you expect me to do that?
I gotta wear it. You can do it, Mom.
I'm washing up. Have it ready!
Forget it!
There are 42 stops to Gaepo-dong.
That's the farthest.
I always wondered about
that place since I was young.
Gaepo-dong.
Gaepo-dong?
Isn't it the name of a missile?
Isn't it Daepodong?
Maybe not.
Seoul is so big.
The buildings are so high.
Where's your hometown?
Jeju-do.
Jeju-do?
Never seen an islander?
Nope
I heard it's a great place.
You try living there.
I was dying to come to Seoul.
Seoul is not all that great.
I think everything's great.
Apgujung-dong is nice, too.
So, your parents are still in Jeju-do?
My dad is. Mom passed away.
I'm staying at my dad's friend's place.
Sorry.
Why're you sorry?
It's not like Mom died coz of you.
My dad passed away when I was young.
My friends say sorry, too. For what!
I know!
It's coz they don't know what to say.
Right.
Wanna listen?
Whose song is this?
Don't know Jeon Ram-whe?
'Etude of Memory' Great song, isn't it?
Yeah.
- Wanna borrow it? - Really?
If you're good.
I don't know.
This isn't it either.
What don't you like about it!
I'm not sure. Just feels unfamiliar.
Of course it does! It's new!
How about enlarging it?
Maybe that's why she doesn't feel familiar with it.
Don't get rid of the house.
Just fix it up.
Enlarge a house that small?
You know, renovations.
Just repair it?
Then what do you need me for?
Will that cut costs?
Forget it!
I have a say, don't I!
How about enlarging it this way?
Expand out front as much as possible.
Turn this into one big room.
Put in a kitchen here.
Then the front yard
will become the new living room.
Does it feel more familiar?
I think it's good.
What do you think?
If the client likes it. I like it.
How may I help you?
I came to look at ties.
These are our new F/W ties.
Over here.
I asked her to come.
Eun-chae helped a lot.
Can I join in?
Of course. Have a seat.
Should we order?
The wines good here.
How long will the construction take?
Probably about two months.
If you don't change the design.
So, aren't you dating?
Want me to introduce someone?
What kind of women do you like?
A pretty and nice girl.
That's impossible.
No it's not.
Think of 10 pretty girls
and the nicest one out of them.
She's the pretty and nice one.
Think a girl like that would like you?
You two are so alike.
Hold on.
Yes, Chief.
I asked Sung to hand the blueprints over.
Eun-chae? Do you have a boyfriend?
I'm getting married.
Really? When?
End of the year or early next year.
Congratulations!
We decided recently.
We're going to the States.
I'll go study and he'll work there.
He's really lucky to have a pretty girl like you.
Isn't he?
What's so funny?
- Just talking about you. - About me?
That you're lucky.
It's me. The pretty and nice girl.
I said that?
What?
You two are together?
I didn't know.
Why you! With a pretty girl like this.
So sneaky.
No one at work knows.
It's a secret.
But I thought you should know.
I heard he met his first love in college.
Do you know her?
I'm curious, but he won't tell.
It was in his 1st year.
Who is it? Someone I know?
No.
Who is it? I'm curious.
Tell us, You said she's a bitch.
A tie in a place like this?
It's not for here.
You can wear it when you go back home.
It suits you well.
Now it looks like a house.
Dad?
Why'd you start renovations,
coz of me?
Who said that?
I met our old neighbor.
She told me.
When I die,
you could come down and live there.
Then there should be space for a piano.
Piano?
You struggled so much without a piano
when you were young.
I don't play it anymore.
Why waste your talent?
Let's just drop it.
So, it's a bachelor?
How can we live, eat, and sleep in one room?
That's our first home?
My aunt says
East Village is a great place to live.
It's close to my school, too.
Come on, we talked about this.
That's all I can do for now.
It'll be hard at first, but
Daddy said he'd help us out.
Don't be so sensitive.
Can't you think it over?
I give up!
Jae-wook's so lucky.
I can come up with great designs living here.
Retard.
A house, a car, all you need is a girl.
Is this your new computer?
It's a Pentium with 1GB hard drive.
1GB?
1.000 mega bites?
You can't use all that in your whole life.
What's this?
Hey!
It's easy.
Make a girl drink beer and get her drunk.
Then what?
Then
you carry her and put her on a bed. That's it.
- So, the stockings are... - Hey!
Just eat your noodles.
Is your club fun?
- Why? - Just curious.
You know Seo-yeun? She's in it, too.
Who?
The music major in Architecture 101.
That girl? She's pretty.
Really? I didn't notice.
She's not bad.
When girls like her
start wearing makeup in second year,
they get really pretty.
You don't know shit.
Is her boyfriend in the club, too?
The stockings are hers?
- Hey! - What?
Don't eat all the radish, you pig.
Hey.
Why're you here?
I forgot my keys.
Look in my bag.
Okay, thanks.
Did you eat? Have some soup.
Okay.
Come on.
Just lend it to me for a few days.
Go back to your store!
Come on.
- Going straight home? - Yeah.
- You're all grown up. - Bye.
Go on home.
- Come on. - I said, no!
Seung-min!
- On your way home? - Yeah.
What are you doing here?
Came to get something.
- It's heavy. - Right.
- Did you eat? - Yeah
I mean, not yet.
Great. I hate eating alone.
PORK SOUP
Just go! I can't!
Do you like pork soup?
What guy can't eat pork soup?
Such a city boy.
I just don't like it much, that's all.
Tada!
I cleaned it over the weekend.
Mopped it and everything.
It's my house now.
I even planted flowers.
In the fall? What flowers?
Curious?
I'm not telling.
I went to Jae-wook's house recently.
It was really nice.
Have you been there?
No. Why would I?
He said
you're really popular in the club.
Of course!
Then...
you must have a boyfriend.
Nope.
- Go bring some soil. - Sure.
Why don't you have a boyfriend?
What about you?
Well, no.
See? You, too.
Jae-wook is the most popular.
All the girls in our club have a crush on him.
Why's he so popular?
He's good looking and tall.
He's rich.
And he majors in architecture.
I think that's cool.
I'm in architecture.
Oh, right.
Just saying.
Do you like Jae-wook, too?
Is that why you're taking our class?
Can't I like him?
Still,
he doesn't have any interest in me.
I have no chance.
Learned to drink in college?
How's your girlfriend?
Flurry? She's fine.
Flurry? That's her name?
Two pretty girls keep my mind off studying.
So. I call 'em Flurry and Faze.
Wanna meet Faze?
No high school girls for me.
But Faze is in grade 9.
- I know this person. - A girl?
No, a guy.
Somehow he met this girl and...
Slept with her?
No, got close with her.
They got close really fast.
They do homework together
and talk about their family.
Then,
why do you think they got close?
The hell are you saying?
Well. I mean
this guy and a girl
were complete strangers.
It's you, right?
No,
it's a guy I know at school.
Screw you, man!
You don't know shit how to lie.
So, who's the girl?
Just eat, pal.
Yang Seo-yeun?
It's a nice, pretty name.
First, buy a bottle of Soju.
Then go to her house.
Open the bottle, then call her.
When she picks up say I'm right outside.
Then hang up.
Hang up?
Just hang up.
Then she'll get really curious.
Why's he here?
Then she'll come out.
But you reek of Soju,
she'll get scared at first.
It's totally baffling, right?
He shows up suddenly and reeks like liquor?
Then, you go up close.
Go up close?
Real close!
Then she'll be scared
and slowly back up.
Then she'll go against the wall.
Then you hit the wall with your right hand!
She'll get totally scared.
What are you doing?
Then the surprise!
You don't say a word and walk off.
Don't look back.
The key is your back.
It has to look somehow sad.
Don't say anything? That's it?
Too connotative?
Then,
just say one thing.
Say. I want you.
'Let's live together!'
But how? I don't have a house.
Stupid. You don't live together for real.
You just say it, fool.
Thanks, Baffle. You're all I got.
Why you little.
Liking girls now. You're all grown up, man.
Seo-yeun is dang cute.
- Damn pretty! - Okay, man.
- Seo-yeun! - Shut up, fool!
Seo-yeun!
It's embarrassing, man!
Seo-yeun!
Stop! Quiet!
Seo-yeun!
This isn't what I had in mind.
You can't tell now.
I can't tell from the blueprints.
Don't need to.
Everything's like you wanted.
But...
the room is smaller than I thought.
This is big.
It's 3.600 wider here
with folding windows here.
The sofa goes here.
The kitchens back there.
I don't know what 3.600 means
and the windows seem small.
Can't you take it out more?
Then you'll go into the sea!
Look.
I left the roof, but raised
the ceiling 600 more.
So it'll look bigger
with the higher ceiling here.
You saw it.
What now?
You said it was okay already!
We can't change it!
Relax.
It's good. I like it.
- You said it. - I did not.
- You did. - No. I didn't.
- You really did. - No. I didn't.
You asked me to meet you when it first snowed that year.
No way I'd say something so childish
I don't believe this!
I should've recorded it.
Hold on a sec.
It looked so big when I was young.
But it's so small now.
Everything looks small to you today?
Growing these days?
By the way,
I'm curious.
So curious today, too.
Guess you are growing.
You never lose, do you?
Fine. What are you curious about?
Is the bitch me?
What?
Your first love Is the bitch me?
It's not you.
Like we had anything.
Right. I thought so.
But why do I feel like it's me? The bitch.
It's weird.
Why's it you?
You have a weird sense of humor.
No, Mom.
That's Eun-chae's opinion.
Don't have to worry about it, Mom.
I'm busy now.
Everyone in the market's doing it.
They're gonna tear it down.
Just do whatever you want!
Sell your shop or not!
I gotta go.
How can you talk to your mom like that?
They're re-developing the area around her shop.
It's complicated. So annoying!
When you go to the States
she'll live there by herself?
I guess.
What if she gets sick?
You should take care of her.
I don't have a choice.
That's why sons are no use.
Treating your mom like that.
What should I do?
Live there forever with her?
Grow old together and die?
I'm just worried, that's all.
Why should you be?
Just visit her often so she doesn't get lonely.
Think I'm going somewhere to play?
With rent and everything I'll hardly get by.
Okay. I get it.
What do you know?
You have a lot of money, time,
and live alone. So you can say that.
How'd you know?
That I live alone.
I meant...
Just go without me.
- Wait! Come on. - Stop!
It's coz I'm damn embarrassed.
Are you mad?
You and your sense of things.
How'd you know that I live alone?
Coz you never once mentioned your husband in the designing.
So. I figured you live alone.
Guess it was kinda obvious.
But I didn't lie from the start.
We were separated.
I got divorced last month
I held out as long as I could.
For what?
I need the money.
My lawyer said
I could get more the longer I held out.
Thanks to that I could build the house
I'm shameless, right?
A real bitch, right?
But I have no choice.
It's how the world turns.
That's life.
Here's the Spicy Soup.
Enjoy your meal.
Spicy Soup.
Isn't it a weird name?
If there's pork, it's Pork Soup.
If there's beef, it's Beef Soup.
But this is just called Spicy Soup.
That's it.
No matter what's in here
I don't like it.
Then we should've ordered Fish Soup.
It's just...
my life seems like Spicy Soup.
Don't know whats in it.
It's just spicy.
Everything okay at work?
Something came up here.
I'll go up on the first plane tomorrow.
Another bottle, please!
Yeah, she's with me.
It's nothing.
Okay. Bye.
You've had enough.
Cancel the Soju, please.
No, I want another bottle. You go!
You drank enough. Get up.
Okay!
That's enough for today.
Are you okay? Get up.
Stand up.
Why drink so much!
It's okay.
Rubbing alcohol will heal it fast.
Stupid.
Bastard.
Me?
Shit! Everything's fucked!
This week's assignment is where I want to live.
Go someplace nice and have fun.
Enjoy the weather.
- Hey! Why hit so much? - Don't know!
It's so nice.
Today's my birthday.
- Today? - Yup, today
November 11th, remember.
Shouldn't you be having a party with friends?
Aren't you my friend?
Let's have a party together.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
What do you think we'll be doing in 10 years?
I'll be an architect and you'll be a pianist
I'm not playing piano.
Why?
I'm sick and tired of it.
Know what the others call me?
Jeju-do piano school girl.
What's that?
Seoul kids had private tutoring.
I'm an insult to them.
Only my dad's proud of me.
What will you do then?
Become an announcer.
I'll be a radio DJ, make money,
and become famous!
Announcers make a lot?
Don't they?
At least I can get married to someone rich.
Then. I'll build a big house in a place like this.
You build it for free, okay?
Free?
Cheapskate.
Here's the down payment.
Happy?
I wanna live in a house like this.
It'll have two floors.
With lots of windows and a big yard.
Is that too big?
This is the living room.
This is the master bedroom.
And I'll have two kids.
So, the kids rooms go on the second floor.
And I'm going to raise a dog. A huge one!
Woof! Woof!
And a big front entrance.
I gotta pee.
There's no bathroom.
You keep watch.
Stand far away.
But not too far!
A kiss?
That's what you call a kiss?
This is a real kiss.
Look.
Your lips come together.
Then her lips and yours naturally come in.
They slither in like snakes.
They touch.
Naturally, they get like this.
They mix.
They become one.
They rub against each other like fuckin' crazy!
They go back and forth and rap around like crazy!
Rub! Ecstasy!
That's a kiss!
What you did is just a peck. Like you peck yo mama!
Stupid.
And to a girl who's sleeping?
That's a crime, man
I'm beat.
We played, walking on railway tracks.
What's that?
Don't know?
Whoever falls off the tracks first loses.
That's so lame.
Listen.
She says the winner hits the loser's wrist.
You don't hit wrists unless you're close right?
You have to hold hands. Right?
What else? Punch each others face?
Hello, campus.
Fall is nearly over
I recently planted flowers in the yard.
A friend asked what flowers I planted.
But I didn't tell what they were.
It'll be another reason
to wait and look forward to spring.
Today's last song is by Jeon Ram-whe.
'Etude of Memory'
Did you hear me on the air?
I did.
How was it?
Your voice sounded great.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
The bus would've been fine.
It's okay,
seniors can drive juniors home.
He's sleeping so comfortably.
Are you close with him?
Well, a little.
Then good luck with him.
No way. We're not like that.
Look at his shirt.
GUESS starts with G-U-E.
The spelling's wrong.
That's so fake.
Oh, it is!
G-E-U...
Jae-wook?
How much is the place you live in?
Why? Thinking of moving?
Yes, my dad told me to look into it.
Really?
Another member to the Ritz then?
The Ritz? What's that?
Nickname for the most expensive area of Seoul.
Come by my apartment to look around and stuff.
I'll buy you drinks.
Really? Can I come over?
Of course, anytime.
When do you wanna come?
Anytime you're available.
- I'll get off here. - What?
- Take care. See ya. - Hey!
What's with him running off like that?
So? How about this weekend?
Sure, anytime.
Saturday's good.
You're home?
Where'd I put the Aspirin? My head kills.
What are you doing!
What's with you today?
Can't we move, Mom?
Move?
To like an apartment in the Ritz area?
What the hell are you talking about!
You earn the money and move if you want.
Throw that shirt out!
Why! It's fine!
Why you! Got money coming out of your ears?
When I only sold $20 worth today!
Okay, okay!
Can't you stop saying that?
$20! Again?
Man.
Why that little!
Damn kid.
Just break it, why don't you!
He must be out of his mind!
There's only one thing left to do.
Just tell her.
How?
Ask her to meet on the first day of snow.
That's saying I like her?
She could think it doesn't mean anything.
What women would think that?
Then she'd be a bear.
If so, it won't be worth dating the bitch.
Who're you calling bitch?
Forget it, man
I'm teaching aesthetics to a guy who can't even do factoring.
Forget it, man!
Fine!
I give up.
What! You didn't even do anything!
I just want Seo-yeun to be happy.
That's it.
Happy? Happiness?
What the hell?
Wait,
are there 2 Ps or 1 in happiness? Can't be 3.
Give me one.
No way, man. This is for adults.
Give me one!
Try asking nicely, man!
Here.
Take a drag, then blow.
A drag?
Suck in the smoke, then gulp it down!
What the hell?
Damn.
My precious smoke!
Is it heavy?
No. I like lifting heavy things.
We're almost there.
That's my place.
Be honored.
You're the first guest to my house.
Are you happy to move here?
Of course. It's my own place.
And it's in the Ritz as they say.
Wanna see pics?
Look!
I grew a lot.
This my dad.
This is me.
This is my house in Jeju-do.
- This? - Yeah.
See? I'm the tallest
I used to play a lot with these friends
I can go back by myself.
It's okay.
I'll walk you to the bus stop.
You don't know your way around. You don't know this area.
Now we can't take the same bus anymore.
Complete opposite ends.
I kinda got attached to that neighborhood.
What are you doing on the first day of snow?
What? When's that?
Well. I'm not sure...
When winter comes?
Do you wanna meet up?
Sounds fun.
Let's meet
in the empty house on the first day it snows.
Okay?
Well, okay.
Promise!
I'm Mr. Yang Sang-yun's daughter.
He suddenly had blood pressure problems and got worse.
Is he okay now?
He's stabilized for now.
Well have to wait for the CT scan results tomorrow.
- Hello. - Hi.
You came?
What are you doing?
Errands.
I love the basalt in the yard.
Can we put more in?
It's perfect as is. No more.
Let's just eat.
PIANO SCHOOL
Know this place?
I started taking piano here.
It's still the same.
Let's go eat. Aren't you hungry?
Why're you dying to eat?
Starve yourself?
I wanna buy you seaweed soup.
For what?
For your birthday. It's November 11th, isn't it?
What?
I'm wrong?
Did you change your birthday?
No. It's my birthday.
Then what?
Coz you're cute and sweet.
Where's my present?
This is it?
Sea urchin in seaweed tastes really good.
There's something I want.
I've never tasted anything like this.
Can I say it?
What is it this time?
I need a room for a piano.
I gave it a lot of thought.
I'm going to settle down here.
My dad.
The hospital can't do much for him now.
He has 1 or 2 years left.
It's not a long time.
Spending that time with him
I think it'll be good.
So, I won't regret it.
And I wanna take the time to reset my life.
Start fresh. Cool, huh?
For real?
Yes.
Are you crazy?
I don't get that woman!
It's going to be done next week!
Is she kidding?
She says she'll pay all additional costs.
Money's not everything.
It'll take a month to re-design it.
What about our schedule?
Next month's our wedding!
I told you.
She wants to settle there.
That's her problem!
I won't do it.
I can't.
Just hand it over to me.
You get ready for the wedding.
No. I'll do it
I'll finish it.
Let me do this.
We can't expand it any bigger by law.
So let's put the piano here.
What about my room?
We'll put it upstairs.
Make it into a two-story house.
You'll get hurt.
Don't worry. I won't
I'm scared of getting hurt coz of you.
The depth should be 30cm
for enough light to come in.
It has to look good
so please be extra careful with this.
- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you!
Wanna go around again?
I meant 150 with the finishings.
We gotta do it again.
The movers are coming on the 28th.
Everything's going by boat so its crazy.
Take things slowly.
Thanks for listening to my boring lectures all semester.
Feel more familiar with architecture now?
- Yes. - Class is over.
There's an after-party.
Hope you all stop by for drinks.
Dismissed!
Jae-wook?
I heard you moved.
Not too long ago.
Then let's stop by the party
and I'll drive you home.
But have you seen Seung-min today?
Seung-min? No.
I can't be friends anymore.
My mind, my heart won't allow...
Damn!
It's freezing.
I like you.
That's it.
Where are you?
Why aren't you answering?
Page me when you hear this, okay?
Recorded.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Here.
But I can't really drink.
Me, neither.
Seo-yeun? Are you okay?
We're here.
Seo-yeun? Can you walk?
Seo-yeun?
You okay?
Seo-yeun?
Let's go in first.
Is this it?
Down here?
Careful.
Where're you headed?
Huh?
Jeongneung
I can't go there.
Why not?
I can't go north of the river at this hour.
Let's go.
No. I can't.
Close the door.
Go to Jeongneung.
Close the door.
- Fuck! Let's go! - Fuck?
Crazy little bastard.
What did you just say? Fuck?
Go home quietly if you're drunk, kid.
Go to Jeongneung!
Get away!
Go to Jeongneung!
- Son of a bitch! - Go to Jeongneung!
Who'd go that far at this hour!
Crazy son of a bitch!
Go to Jeongneung!
Why you little!
Get away!
That bitch!
That stupid bitch!
Forget her.
She's not the only girl.
Forget a bitch like that!
When I go to college next year,
I'll look after ya.
But...
just coz they went in together
that doesn't mean anything happened.
He could've just took her home
coz she's drunk.
I'll bring Flurry and Faze over.
We'll meet on the first day of snow.
And have a double date.
We'll have snowball fights
and make snowmen.
Slapping wrists, too!
Doesn't that sound awesome? Seung-min?
Cheer up, pal.
This way, please.
You're here?
All done.
When are you completely moving down here?
As soon as Dad gets out of the hospital.
It's all finished, huh?
All over.
How do you feel?
It was good to build this.
I'm glad I did it.
And you?
How do you feel?
Not sure.
You didn't like it?
You made a promise to build my house.
Remember?
Tell me...
why were you so nice to me then?
Because I liked you.
Now you tell me?
It took long enough.
You knew?
Think I'm stupid? Of course I knew.
You even kissed me.
When I was asleep.
That was my first kiss.
It's late. I'd better go.
Okay.
Take care.
Bye.
Want me to move this?
No. I'll do it later.
It's not much.
Where do you want it?
It's okay. I'll do it.
Why'd you come to me?
Anyone could've built your house.
Why'd you come to me now?
I was curious.
What?
How you're living.
How you are now
I was curious.
That's it?
Just coz you're curious?
That's why you had this all this time?
Yes.
That's why I had it.
Why can't I hold on to it?
When you're...
you were my first love.
I called many times.
But you never answered
I don't have a CD player
I can't listen to it.
And don't call me anymore.
Why?
Just don't.
What do you mean?
Now... get out of my life.
- How's this? - Hmm?
This is better, isn't it?
I think it's better, too
I must've gained weight. It feels tight.
Doesn't it look too racy?
It's suffocating.
Suffocating? Where?
It's so stuffy I feel like
I'm going to die.
How can I help you?
Wanna go for a walk?
- I want to go home. - What?
I want to go home.
Okay, let's go home Dad.
It's all built.
We can go and live there.
Wanna see pictures?
This is the living room
and the master bedroom.
And here...
Who's this?
He's just...
a friend.
Pork Soup?
For old time sake.
You can't eat that in the States.
Should I just stay, Mom?
What the hell are you saying?
You'll be alone. I'm worried.
Shut up and cut the nonsense.
Fool.
Here.
It's my wedding gift. Use it.
That's for selling your shop.
Move to an apartment with it!
Live comfortably for once!
I forgot the kimchi.
Where's my head?
Don't worry about me.
Just be good to your wife.
Not again.
I lived here for over 30 years.
Expect me to go someplace new at my age?
I'm gonna live here till I die.
Don't say that!
You're not gonna die.
If you get old, you die.
Aren't you sick of this place?
You struggled your whole life here.
Why would I be sick of it?
A home is a home.
Why's it so hard to open?
- I'm gonna take a nap. - Okay.
You're playing a little fast.
Let's practice it 10 more times.
- Okay. - Ready?
Have a good day.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
Dad, let's go in. It's cold.
It's okay.
I love this.
Anyone home?
- Yang Seo-yeun? - Yes?
Sign here, please.
Thank you.
From: LEE SEUNG-MIN To: YANG SEO-YEUN
