When Time Stopped
Episode 8
Why is this bastard not picking up?
Hyungnim.
Mr. Soo Kwang,
I spent so much money for you to take care of that building.
Now, do you understand
what you have to do?
So, what are you going to do now?
Well, right now... I mean.
I'll first kidnap.
Yes! I will
I will kidnap first.
Because you work so ignorantly
something goes wrong, doesn't it?
Here, look at this first. Promissory Note
Here is a pen.
Kim Seon Ho, that is you, correct?
Of course, that's me.
Don't worry. I'll pay you back as soon as possible.
No, that's okay. Take your time.
Well, for us it'll be okay as long as we receive the interest on time.
Yeah.
Still, she is your niece.
Are you going to be okay?
I don't have a family.
You see?
You have to have that kind of determination
to do this kind of work.
It's your last chance.
If you lose this opportunity,
one part of you
will really go missing.
Promissory Note
Confirmation of full loan repayment
Did something good happen?
Of course. Something really good just happened.
Other than that, when should we go?
This time I'll make sure to treat you.
Then, can we go to an expensive restaurant?
Of course, let's go eat something really expensive.
Do you know?
I'm starting to understand
why the time I have
is flowing to you.
Oh, chicken. Boss, what is this?
It's a goodbye menu.
You worked hard.
Thank you.
If your part-timer can't come, let me know. I'll come over as fast as I can.
Don't worry, I'm not going to bother you.
No need to say such things. Just keep on writing.
Let me have an author as a friend.
Cheers!
This bracelet was glowing?
It's not like there's some battery operating technology inside the bracelet.
Are you sure the bracelet was glowing?
Ayoo, I have no idea.
Last time I asked you to find out where this came from.
You're quite working this old man to his grave.
Hey kid. It's not like I'm your personal slave.
I'm sorry.
I thought this bracelet was just an ordinary bracelet,
but it's quite old.
Arrested Tomb Raiders Who Stole Antiquities On Display.
I looked into it but this bracelet is from the Silla era.
If you're that curious, why don't you go to Gyeongju?
Again,
the male lead who saved the female lead from danger.
She looks like she's about to cry,
her eyes tearing up.
He approaches the female lead who has wet eyes.
He wipes her tears.
♫ The awkwardness suddenly changes into a smile. ♫
♫ The night that was filled with your gentle image ♫
♫ When I looked so depressed in the past ♫
♫ I hope you don't know my dark past ♫
Why did you come now?
I’m sorry.
♫ When I'm getting more anxious ♫
♫ while you gently comfort pitiful me ♫
♫ In front of you, who sheltered me ♫
I missed you.
♫ The last step, in front of me ♫
♫ Circling around, everyone can't get out ♫
♫ The last step is stopped. ♫
You saw it all, right?
Yes, almost the whole thing.
For a while, I will be in Gyeongju.
Gyeongju?
Yes.
For how long?
I'm not sure. I think I won't know that until I get there.
I see.
But why is he telling me this?
In case I get worried?
Can it be? Basement likes me?
Excuse me...
When I'm not here,
can you go to Hwa Sook and Seong Joon?
I promised them,
but suddenly I'm going to go to Gyeongju.
I can't keep my promise.
So, I’m going to have to ask the landlady to do this.
So It wasn't that. I'm not surprised.
What?
No, it's nothing. I will go instead.
Thank you.
Since I may be bothering you when you're writing,
I have to go now.
What a cold-hearted person.
And when I'm back from Gyeongju
be sure to keep the promise to buy me an expensive meal, which you made before.
I'll wait in line very well then.
Hey Choi In Seob, you act like this because you don't want to pay the maintenance fee again, don't you?
I can hear even your breathing. Do you want to die?
If you continue to act like this, I'll unlock your door and go in.
This jerk, really!
That's weird, I'm sure I saw him.
Seon Ah
Choi In Seob, when did you come?
You are here early.
For real right? You will really buy meat for me?
Yes!! Steak!! Then see you later, Ajumma.
Ajumma said she would buy us steak so to wait here.
That kiddo, I told him I'm not an ajumma.
Steak?
It'll be a high expense that I didn't plan.
And when I'm back from Gyeongju,
be sure to keep the promise to buy me an expensive meal, which you made before.
I'll wait in line very well then.
Well, at least I paid my debt.
Who is it?
It’s been a while, Landlady.
Hello.
This...
I told you.
that you don't know how scary I am.
Promissory Note
Money he borrowed seven years ago is 30 million won ($30,000).
As you know well, the floating compound interest that adds interest on top of interest is applied.
And in the past seven years, you haven't repaid a penny.
Because of your reprehensible act,
I'll apply the highest interest rate in our company to it.
Your debt is enormous.
What do you want to do?
Will you win the lottery again, or
Will you start your part-time job again?
Think carefully.
If you're going to pay all this,
how many extra jobs do you have to do?
My hyungnim is going to stay here again.
Clean this place well before you leave.
I’m going.
Why isn't she coming?
Yeah.
What are you doing? Why aren't you coming?
I'm so hungry.
Sorry.
I was doing something.
I'll come right now. You guys can order something first.
She said that we can go there to eat first. Let's go.
Please, not our Seong Joon.
But, where was I going just now?
Hey. I am God.
God.
You want me to work for God?
Yeah, I do.
I guess you really don't understand.
I guess, I mean it's kind of difficult to explain this.
In a simple way, I gather people with special powers.
Making the world balanced is our job.
Then what do we do if we want to do our job?
Of course,
it is easier for us if we let people with a special power like you work.
Also, you need a record that you live doing nice things.
Well, either way, you passed.
Just perfectly passed.
That's why this god is allotting my precious time to you.
But what? You don't want to do it?
What about my brother?
Is there something wrong with my eyes or do I choose only these kinds of people?
Why as one are all the interviewees worried about others but not themselves?
Worry about yourself!
Okay, I understand
Your little brother won't remember anything about you in the future.
And if you accept my proposal,
with my consideration, the rest of his life,
I promise he'll have very fortunate life.
What do you think?
With this choice, it would be way better than being trapped in that bottle for way more than a thousand years.
What are you doing? You've already done it many times.
Something changed, Hyungnim.
I mean, President.
What?
You used to look like a bulldozer that shows no mercy on others,
and you used to forge ahead with work. While looking at your doing such things,
I respected my hyungnim— No, my president, and followed you all this way.
At some point, you became worried,
cautious, and timid—
Hey, you jerk, who's timid?
You acted like that earlier when you met the building owner.
If you had gotten dragged and almost died like that, you just should've taken the building deed from her forcefully.
Are you going to accept interest again?
What if she wins the lotto again¿
To be honest, I'm disappointed in you this time, Hyngnim—
No, President.
However, you jerk,
you think I am scared of her?
I have very severe acrophobia (fear of heights)!
Please!!!
What!
It's not easy.
I think I'm under some kind of spell.
But I still need to do it or else I could die.
Yeah, let's do it! Let's take it away from her.
We'll again stand strong!
Are you alive now, Hyungnim?
Yes, Boss.
I'm really sorry for causing confusion.
I will continue working hard again tomorrow.
Thank you.
What exactly is the problem?
My dad had more loans.
Without me knowing...
It's over 2 billion won (2 million dollars).
I think I'm going to have to give up the building to the loan sharks.
If I have to rent a room anywhere, I need money for a deposit.
Seon Ah...
Even if it's for a moment, it's my fault for dreaming about something sweet.
I'm really alright.
This is just a small amount of gratitude. Please accept it.
Don't overdo it. Don't be a bother to others.
Of course. Please don't worry.
Please help me this one time. I will make sure to pay you back for this favor.
Hello?
She cried sadly but it seems nothing happened to her.
However, why are you so worried about that woman?
It's because there's something that has been making me feel uneasy.
Don't let your guard down. Make sure to watch over her well.
Yes, I understand. Also...
We've taken care of Hyungnim Won Ho, Hyungnim, I mean, President.
I don't need anything else,
just make sure to find the building deed.
After that, we go to court with the promissory note and get it certified. Then it'll be finished.
You're finally back now, Hyungnim— I mean, Boss.
Hurry up! Hurry up and find the building deed!
- Yes, Hyungnim! - Yes!
Why isn't she picking up her phone?!
It's been a while since we reported to the police, but why aren't they here yet?
Apartment 202
Take a break.
Also, this person has been calling you since earlier.
Calling?
Apartment 202 11 Missed Calls
Apartment 202
Hello?
Why weren't you picking up?!
Hey, what's going on?
I'll contact you later.
Stop whatever you're doing!
Wait.
Where on earth did this wench hide the deed?
What are you doing right now, you gangster punks!
What? Gangster? Are you seriously crazy or something?
I'm just doing my own thing with my soon-to-be building. This has nothing to deal with you!
How is this your building?! I told you I'm going to pay back the money!
When? How many years later?
I don't care anymore. I can't wait any longer, so—
I don't think she hid the building deed here.
She has been living on the rooftop all this time. Should we go up there and search?
What are you guys doing?! Make sure you catch her!
- Yes, President! - Yes!
Go in!
Building deed!
Just what-—What is going on?
Why— Why is that hidden there?
In case something might happen...
I have to protect this no matter what. If I don't, they might kick you out without returning your deposit.
What did you say?
Your phone keeps ringing. Aren't you going to take the call?
It's okay.
Please pick up the phone, In Seob.
No one is answering...
I called the police before so they should be here soon.
We called a while ago. Why aren't they here yet?
Building Owner, you and he have lived as neighbors for a long time.
Do you think he would really kill you?
That guy would do such a thing.
Really?
There is the deed over there.
Bring it here.
What are you doing? Hurry and go inside.
Even at the end, being stubborn.
Go open the door for them.
Yes.
What's this?
It's magic, wait here.
Hey! Hey. Choi In Seob!
What's going on here?
Hyungnim, no, President.
No matter how hard I looked in every corner, there's no other way to get out.
It feels like a ghost casts a spell on us.
I'm a little scared.
That's what I'm saying!
I've felt this weird vibe more than once too.
Room 301, aren't you going to get the building owner?
Let's follow him first.
What the heck is this?
I said it's not me!
Who are you guys all of a sudden?
Come here!
You've just been caught.
Promissory Note
Gangster...
What? Gangster?
As you saw, it's like mutation happened to me.
If there is just a door, I can go anywhere.
I should have hidden it till the end but the situation didn't allow that.
I'm sorry for this confusion.
No, it's okay.
Thank you.
I'll explain things to Ahjumma and Soo Na.
How are you going to explain?
That's what I'm saying.
First, let's get back home. I'm sure everyone is in confusion.
Okay.
I don't know what happened to us either.
I don't know, I don't know. Just go back home for today.
- Leave! - Yes.
I'm sure
we were in the bathroom.
I'm sure it was just a bathroom.
Stop it, you bastard!
I'm really about to go crazy.
I'm sure it was a bathroom.
Over there it was just a bathroom.
I'm sure it was just a bathroom...
That idiot has lost his mind.
My headache, my headache.
In this world, by words... by your mind...
there are so many things that you can't explain.
Like you're being this way right now.
If you appear before her one more time,
I'll show you what we can't explain with words,
and make you experience all of that.
This is not a dream.
Chairman
His power is extraordinary.
Using his power is also extraordinary.
What do you want me to do?
The more I look at this, the more curious about this I get.
I'll go myself and ask.
Where did you say he lives?
♫ There's nothing new to say ♫
♬ I'm trying not to be surprised ♬
♫ Always like fate never ♫
♬ seems to be on my side ♬
♬ Becoming like a passing memory ♬
♬ Even though I'm unable to keep holding on ♬
♫ Oh just for my love, I'm changing ♫
♬ Oh just for my lover, I'm reborn again ♬
♬ At a time like this I should be hating this world ♬
♫ Thinking of you and I smile ♫
Now he won't be bothering you again anymore.
I'm not sure
if I should accept your help again.
Why not?
Promissory Note
This is really my dad's signature.
Because of this money, someone may get harmed.
I'm not sure.
I think you've paid enough of your debt for the past six years.
You think so...
I did have a hard life.
Now stop worrying about others and live for yourself.
You, Building Owner, can write what you want and show it to me.
Thank you, Basement.
But why did you start to write a novel?
I needed a place to escape.
I needed a place to escape to from both my father's debts and his death
which came suddenly to the Kim Seon Ah of that time.
Without any respite, busy working every day
in just the brief time allowed to me,
I guess I wanted to feel happiness in that time.
That's why I started writing.
While waiting for the day coming sometime which would be my time.
For me, the place where I ran away to was the time I stopped.
Inside time, I kept searching for something.
That's why I was obsessed with and held onto those antique items.
That's how I was wasting my time.
To someone, it could have been a precious time.
For me it was meaningless.
♫ A night which is filled with images of your beautiful face ♫
However, thanks to you,
my stopped time started to mean something to me.
♫ As much as I looked always so depressed in the past ♫
♫ I hope you won't know my dark past. ♫
For making my lonely stopped time have meaning,
thank you.
♫ When I'm fearful and falling apart ♫
♫ while you gently comfort pitiful me ♫
What did you do?
♫ In front of you who sheltered me ♫
Thank you for being next to me, Basement.
♫ In my world which has stopped Putting on a sunny expression ♫
♫ As though it were dancing my heart is swirling ♫
♫ Oh, in my confused mind ♫
Did you go see Hwa Sook and Seong Joon?
♫ In the midst of a maze, I'm lost ♫
Hwa Sook?
Seong Joon?
♫ Wandering, everyone can't get out ♫
Who are they?
♫ The last step will be stopped. ♫
Thank you for being next to me, Basement.
Hwa Sook? Seong Joon?
Who are they?
But why couldn't she remember them?
Who are you?
Hello, I'm God.
♫ In my world which has stopped ♫
♫ putting on a sunny expression ♫
♫ As like it was dancing my heart is swirling ♫
♫ Oh, in my confused mind ♫
I'm not the only one who is interested in this bracelet.
Get the time stopper, then I'll give you that bracelet.
Before catching the time stopper, there's a girl.
Grab her first.
I think I have a lot of talking to do with her.
The guy named God sent you.
Right?
