Mirae,

why?

why are you calling me?

why?

I don't know..

it's me..

who hooked on him..

this bitch hooked on you?

no..

I kept chasing her..

stop crying, you bitch..

you're disgusting.

- is it fun?
- yeah.

let me do it.

no.

you guys are jerking around
so well..

I'm not jerking around.

you are.

no, I'm not.
I'm just training my body now.
you've got no idea about it.

you, ex-convict!

Chan-suk,
I got so angry about you!

what?

Wu Chan-suk!
I got angry 'cause you came late!

what are you talking about?

I missed you.

don't dangle about him any more.

clean up the floor!

I wanna play with him..

I guess your head is aching now,
right?

no.

don't hop around.
it can damage your brain.

in my opinion,
your head is definitely aching now.

I have no time for headaches.

but my nipple aches..

why do your nipples ache?
your disease has nothing to do them.

no? then why is it aching?

this..part..

aches so much..

it's better for me.

pain on my nipple
makes me forget..

the pain in my brain.

cancer in your head
doesn't go down under your neck.

why is his heart aching?

I guess something's giving me
a heartache..

now I gotta make my lunchbox myself..

stop crying.

he's the same as the bitch
which ran away from me.

Mirae,

have your breakfast, okay?

get up.

did you make your lunch box?

yeah.

eat this.

you wanna drown me by water?

why did you bring 3 cups?

I can have the natural mix
with milk.

you didn't have to
get me water for it..

eat all of these,

and have a long sleep.

Mirae,

when I lost the dog,

Boksu is not a dog!

Boksu is Boksu!

you're so loud..

Boksu..

he can't do this to me, can he?

I took such good care of him
while he was in jail.

you went to see him
only twice.

okay,
I agree you took care of him.

I didn't know..

that Boksu is a player.

I didn't imagine
a creep like him would cheat on you.

you want it on your face?

but..

he can't dump you, I'm sure.

he might come back..

I'll be back soon.

sleep all day long, okay?

don't go to work.

did I go to see him in jail
only twice?

it was because I was busy.

but my mind was always with Boksu.

always with him in jail.

I was just so busy
making money.

what am I doing here?

- let's go have lunch!
- no.

why?

whaay?

I don't deserve lunch.

can't you see I'm studying?

can you understand it?

- do you think I can?
- then why are you reading it?

'cause director Yang
wanted me to read it.

we have korean version of it here.

plus, this book has
nothing to do with stunt.

then why did he give this book to us?

he just took it
from the movie company,

just to fill his bookshelf.

your effort was in vain!
you've learned all the english words from dictionary.

but I didn't do that~

director must have a weird personality.
is he fooling me now?

yes, he is.

I guess he just got bored.
let's go have lunch together.

I don't want to have lunch.
you follow him.

don't follow me any more.

I'll quit this!

is he always dangling after you?

yeah, he can't walk
a single step without me.

ouch!

see that?

I'll be back soon.

( Mirae )

Mr.Han!

oh, it's you.

you seem to be
lost in thinking.

I didn't know that
you can even 'think'.

there's a head on my shoulder,
that makes me 'think', you know.

just try this cd.

please write a nice review on it.

if you gave them a bad one,
I'm gonna mess up this office.

please.

president Kim!

what?

I know of a very nice indie band.

do you?

is it a rock band?

what kind of style
do they play?

what color of sound
do they have?

style and color?

well..

anyway,
I'll call you later about it.

did they buy you a drink?

buy me a drink? no!
it's me who's buying them something..

okay, call me later.

what kind of style?

well..

as a music-writer, I haven't really
listened to her music yet.

shame on me!

selfish jerk!

what?

I said 'selfish jerk'!

( you can't upset everything.. )

( at one shot.. )

( but I keep on dreaming.. )

( a dream of changing.. )

I can't digest it.

what the hell is she doing?

let's tolerate her.

she used to tolerate us,
so it's our turn to tolerate.

( a dream of my love coming back to kiss me.. )

that's almost disgusting!

( you can't upset everything.. )

why did you sleep out again last night?
you haven't been doing that for a while.

I had something to work on.

take it.

take it.

have nice dinner by this money
with your bandmates.

this morning, she got angry at me
because she was worried about your health.

you shouldn't have
gone against her.

don't be like that
to your mother.

without you,
she has no reason to live in our home..

she just can't live in our home..

nobody but you..

can keep your mother home.

you can..

I can't..

I'm not on her mind..

she has a little bit of Kang
on her mind..

and..

you're for all the rest.
you know what I mean?

don't go against your mother again.

all you have to do is
to be good to your mother.

then I'll be happy.

even if you hate me..

as long as you live.

Boksu..

I got money too.

how about watching it together?

oh!

she may have gone to lunch.

I haven't seen her today.

let's just get away
before she catch us!

I guess you didn't have lunch,
did you?

no.

you didn't have breakfast either,
did you?

I had a cup of milk.

milk can't replace breakfast.

that's just water.

let's have
this yummy lunch together, okay?

yes.

no,

don't have this hot pepper
on empty stomach.

it might give some trouble
to your empty stomach.

you don't need salt?

right, it needs to be salted.

pepper sauce here.

I don't need that.

oh,

isn't it too salty?

oh, it is.

wait a moment.

alright,

now it's okay.

you know what..?

it's a kind of nonsense.

it's..

it's a nonsense that you like me and..

Mirae also likes me..

I'm just a..

I'm just a creep, you know.

very funny..

it's very funny,
isn't it?

it's not funny.

uh..

so I'm telling you..

you promised to like me,

and I promised to like you, too.

so..

let's like each other
from now on.

I didn't imagine
Mirae would figure out the situation
this quickly, but..

if we broke up
just because Mirae knew about it,

we can't call it a promise,
can we?

well..

I can't tell Mirae about..

I can't tell Mirae about us right now..

uh..

I'm afraid
it might sound disgraceful,

but only for a short while..

can't you see me secretly?

cause I have to be
punished by Mirae,

and I have to suffer
as much as Mirae did.

can't you..

just secretly..

can't you just see me secretly
only for a short while?

a creep like me..

how can a creep like me
say this kind of thing to you?

an ex-convict like me..

how can I do this
to a girl from a rich family?

but if I can't see you any more..

I feel like
I'm gonna die soon..

how could I say
this shitty thing to you?

I thought..

I thought you're gonna say
'let's break it up.'

I was so scared..

so scared to death
to hear you say that..

now..

now I'm gonna eat this.

is it..

is it the only handkerchief
you have?

yes.

wipe your tears too.

I didn't shed tears.

it's in your eyes.

you must be sweating a lot
while you're working..

how come you carry
just one handkerchief..?

(Ko Boksu best selection)

Ko Boksu?

why are you running?
it's very hot today.

why did you go to your studio?

nothing.

did you find any to buy?

he's my daddy's favorite.

he has the same name with you.

my dad likes him..

you have the same name
with this singer.

yes, same name but..

I don't like his style..

I don't really like
korean enka music..

I'm going for..

rock music..

or hip-hop.

I'll buy this.

my dad likes him.

which rock band..

is your favorite?

you don't know about rock bands..

'the incompletion'?

that's right.

yes, they're the greatest.

right.

try 'the incompletion'.

you haven't really listened to
our music yet, have you?

oh, I forgot.

yesterday and today,
you wanted to smoke so bad, right?

I washed it with toothpaste,

so don't feel disgusted.

I don't feel disgusted at all.

I knew it, I knew it.

it's a killer song!

who's playing keyboards on this song, huh?

oh..this music!

it just turns me on!

(women's restroom
- under construction)

hey man,
call the police!

I caught a thief!

okay!

what a shame to your parents!

how much have you
pick-pocketed so far?

can you make a big fortune?

by doing this?

please take it off,
please..

hey girl,

please let me slide this time..

I have never been to the jail.

please!

please release me.

I'm innocent.

you must be kidding, huh?

okay, it's gonna be a good chance
for you to taste what the jail's like.

(please leave a message
after the tone)

Mirae..

can't you smile?

you're gonna be
in the photo session.

I said, I can't do it today.

I already paid you.
you gotta do the money's worth.

the photographer is
waiting for you over an hour.

okay, okay.

maybe I can't smile today.

I just can't.

just stand in front of the camera,

I'll take care of everything.

there's no need
for president to take care of it.

you don't have your secretary?

I gotta take care of this.

why?

because if I were not with you
in the photo session,

you'd get scolded by the photographer.

it's none of your business.

I gotta take care of my property.

what did you say?
your 'property'?

I bought you, you know.

fasten your seat belt.

okay, you take me.

you want my arms? or legs?

your butt.

you're grossier than I thought..

'than' your thought?
everybody's saying I'm a gross
at first look.

you're so proud of it, huh?

pull your chin a little higher..

hey,

don't make her do this and that.

understand?

Mirae, get any pose you want,

this guy is a professional,
he'll take care of everything.

he's funny..

is he a gangster or what?

what did you say?

now it's over!

president Chun,
thanks for 10 million.

what?

let's have dinner together.

I don't think so.

president, your wife has come.

honey,

what happened?

your mother wants to be home alone,
she told me to have some fun with you outside.

I heard you're having a photo session.
is it over already?

I'm going. bye.

I'll buy you a dinner.

no, thanks.

- who is she?
- my model.

is she a model?

she's too thin,
and she's ugly, I look better than her.

what if she heard it?

I heard it.

hey, old woman,

you can be the model, then.

it was so tiring, you know.

you have fat belly.

I don't have fat belly!

ask your husband about it.

I guess he knows.

you bitch!

what are you saying?
are you crazy?

I have never seen a girl like her.

I can't help using f-words..

you old woman,

what you've just said
is not even a f-word for me.

once I say f-words to you,
you'll get shocked to death.

so don't provoke me, okay?

'cause I don't like your family!

what an ugly bitch!

I said, don't say 'bitch'!

I can't help it,
it's because of that bitch!

oh, my lord..

hey,

is she really ugly?

she IS.

I don't think so..
she looks not bad to me..

honey!

why did you buy raw fishes?

raw fishes?
sounds like you wanna eat 'em.

call them 'gold fishes'.

this kind of fishes easily die..

that's great.
they'll be free, and I'll be free.

but it's happier for them
to live longer.

they can live longer happily..

- one male and one female?
- no, no.

all female.

only guys fight each other,
girls don't fight.

daddy, one for you and one for me.
they can be our girlfriends.

no.

I don't want a fish girlfriend. smells bad.

you take both.

oh, give me a break,

why don't you be
just romantic with your life?

daddy,

don't talk to me,
I'm cleaning my face now!

loving two fishes is okay..

but how about two girls?

no way.

just..you like two girls
exactly the same amounts.

exactly the same amounts..
without doing any bad to them.

exactly the same?

can you give
exactly the same amounts of love
to two person?

even when the difference is very small..
the one with smaller love would feel lonely.

making somebody feel lonely is
a big sin.

give exactly the same amounts of love
to those fishes.

but don't ever think about
two-timing with girls.

why are you talking about
two-timing?

I just guessed.

why do you guess?

don't guess!
guess hurts!

give names to those fishes.

they need names.

Kyung,

Mirae.

Kyung is prettier.

why?

Mirae is too thin.

give more foods to Mirae.

did he sense something?

they are all pretty!
you know..

I don't know..

what are you doing here, mom?

why didn't you come home
last night?

I said, it's not you..

okay I see.
let's get inside.

you didn't come home
because you don't wanna see my face?

okay, I will get out of here.

it's up to you.

are you insane?

you said, you like your dad.

let me know
what you like about him.

there's nothing you can like,
is there?

I can never find it.
why did you say you like him?

I'm not curious about who I am..

any more.

I'm not curious about
if I'm a real daughter of my dad..

any more.

now I got..

curious about why you're living like this..

and why dad is living like that.

I got curious about those things.

I got really curious about mom and dad.

now I'm gradually..

getting aware of..

the world I didn't know before.

dad's world..

and mom's world.

so..

you don't have to feel pain
and worry about me.

and let me know..

when you feel okay.

I'll be waiting.

one!

two!

three!

four!

two!

three!

four!

Boksu! wait for me!

- hey! wait!
- he's always..

he's always dangling about me.

wait!

are you sorry for me?

so,

yeah?

what are you gonna do?

I said, what are you gonna do?

I don't know..

I really want to beat you up now.
but I won't. you know why?

when Boksu comes back to me,

I don't want to feel ashamed about it.
that's why.

give it to me.

give it to me!
or I beat you up!

beat me up, Mirae.
just hit me on my face..

just beat me up..

it's too tough for me..

what a mean bitch you are..

I'm out of here
cause you're so mean..

why do you like a pick-pocket?

you're not a girl like me.
why do you like him?

he's just nobody!

weird girls like you are
always giving pain to poor girls like me.

it's annoying me so badly..

yes, I'm working now.

call me when you finish your work, Boksu.

alright.

action !

pull it harder, okay?

let me try it, director.

just for once, please!

take your harness off!

you can't do it yet.

it's dangerous even for professionals.

oh, please!

I wish it badly!

oh..please!

no way.

sir,

I might die soon..who knows?

come here.

I'll let you do it.

no way!

let him do it just once!

he said, he might die.

you guys don't hear my words.

do what I told you to do, okay?

never do anything other than
what you've told to do, okay?

okay.
thank you so much.

nobody but you're helping me.

right, there's nobody else
who can help you.

director, I'm next!

just once, okay?

- don't ask one more time.
- yes, sir!

do it well!

action!

hey, that's now how you do it.

pull it harder, okay?

concentrate on jumping!

I missed you so much.

what are you doing here?

sgt.Park!

you can't be like this here.

do you guys know that
he's an ex-convict?

we do.

oh, you guys are
from the same gang?

I'll come again.
hope you do well.

but I don't think you can.

nobody here is
an ex-convict but him!

- are you an ex-convict..?
- what's wrong with an ex-convict?

he's very enthusiastic.

that's enough for us..

oh, director..

what's he saying?

hey,

you wanna quit this?

how come you didn't let us know that
we're having a gig?

it's the day after tomorrow!

I'm so sorry..

I was out of myself..

we can rehearse today and tomorrow.

actually, all we've been
doing everyday is practicing.

I'm worried about Byulli!
can't you see that?

she gotta prepare for the gig.

do you guys want to see her
to get panic on the stage again?

get a substitute singer.

sorry about that.

you go find a substitute.

no way..

hey, don't get angry!

oh..

everything's messed up.

what are you doing here?

do you have your demo CD now?

yes.

that's good..

- let's go!
- to where?

Mr.Han,
I've got an appointment tonight.

when is the appointment with him?

he'll call me.

okay, you can leave
when you get the phone call.

it's not my style.

I'm sorry?

your music is too gloomy.

but it's not bad.

long time no see.

you're so hasty.
we can meet tomorrow.

your girlfriend is a musician?

honey,
give your demo CD to him.

I'll listen to it carefully.
'cause it's from Mr.Han.

you don't have to listen carefully.

just listen to it
as it comes to your ears.

right.
you don't have to mind me.

thank you very much, Mr.Han.

it's a very big thing for us..

if you want to thank me,
come back to me.

by the way..
what if they badmouth you?

why?

what if they think I'm trying to
put out a crappy record
with a help from a music journalist..?

is your music crappy?

no, but people have
different tastes for music, so..

but there are still some
who can appreciate 'good' music.
and that's why we're doing arts.

I want to..

I wanna do something for you, too.
but what I can do, that I don't know..

come back to me soon.

hello,

okay, I'm coming.

see you.

I think I gotta go now.

it's annoying..

Ko Boksu,

oh, Hyun-ji!

why are you here?

it's very dangerous to hang around
in this park at midnight..

why you don't come to my home
any more?

well..

'cause I'm busy..

Boksu,

it's my bad..

it's my bad, Boksu..

Boksu,

it's because..

I didn't like you, isn't it?

it must be because..

I made you angry, right?

no, it's not because of you..

no..

I'll never..never..

be like that to you again..

my sister's crying everyday..
I'll never be like that again..

trust me..

no..it's not because of you..

I have no bad feeling about you..

even if it's not because of me..

and even if it's because
you've got a new girl..

give some more time to my sister..

until she gets a new guy.

please?

you're a nice guy..

aren't you?

I'll look for..

a good guy for my sister, too..

okay?

but for now..

Boksu..

you're the best guy..

for my sister..

and you're the best..

for me, too.

is it for her?
the girl who came here before?

no.

then, who's it for?

it's for daddy.

- you don't wanna hear about him?
- no.

why?

take some more pickle with it.

he's taking a lot of pickles
when he's having fried chickens.

why do you care about him?
you've parted with him, you know.

but I still know his taste.
what can I do, then?

you know his taste..

his habits..and his personality..

well, time is flying so fast!
don't you think so?

I don't.

you don't? I guess you do.
I'm going!

I said, take some more pickle!

take your girlfriend here.

I'll make
hot chicken stew for her.

who the hell is it!

it's nice to see me again,
isn't it?

you remember me?

I enjoyed good meals in jail.

so I came here to thank you.

oh..

you're scared, aren't you?

can you guess
how I get your address?

there must have been a way
to find it.

you must have had a hard time.

huh?

now you've become a good person?

come on in,
let's have dinner together.

Hyun-ji, prepare dinner for this guy!

hey, come in.

you're my type,
come in.

( the time we spent together.. )

( ended like a daydream.. )

don't take him away!

you son of bitch!

Boksu!

are you alright?

don't worry, Boksu,
I'll kick his butt, okay?

get off me!

no way!

Boksu!

you came back?

it's been a long time.

yeah.

it's for Hyun-ji.

I told you to have your hair cut.

oops!

what is this?

( I can feel the autumn breeze.. )

( it's coming through the window
to my empty heart.. )

( I'm leaning on the cold wall.. )

( at the time of dawning.. )

( I want to see you, but.. )

( I can't come close to you.. )

( you gave warm and big love.. )

( to my lonely eyes.. )

( I might regret my decision.. )

( to leave you now.. )

( but it's because I love you.. )

( I can't never forget.. )

( my only love for you.. )

( but I have to erase you
from my memory.. )

now it's done.

neat, right?

yeah..

neat..

one moment.

( I might regret my decision
to leave you now.. )

it's done.

thank you.

( but it's because I love you.. )

( I can't never forget.. )

( my only love for you.. )

( good bye, my love.. )

hello,

I'm sorry..

you waited for me long?

yes..

where..are you now?

I had my hair cut.

( how about you? )

I had my hair cut..

Kyung,

yes?

let's..

meet..later..

later..when?

just later..

Boksu,

yeah?

are you back with me?

yeah..

then, why long face?

how long will it take
to get rid of that look?

it'll take..

only a couple years..right?

answer me.

I don't know..
