CHAPTER 10

Yang Dong-geun & Lee Na-young

SCRIPT by In Jung-ok

DIRECTED by Park Sung-su

now, I like you more than Mirae,

but I have no choice,
I gotta do what I wanna do now!

I can regret it later, not now.

Mirae,

what?

his hand..

is down.

what did the doctor said?

he needs to take an examination first.
they'll gonna take a CT picture of him.

the nurse said,
hot weather might have affected him.

didn't I tell you
you shouldn't do the stunt thing?

it must've been too tough
to do in summer, you idiot!

thank you.

thank you for helping me.
you can go home now.

go home.

no.

what?

I wanna stay here.

you, follow me.

did Boksu come to the building
to see you today?

did he?

no.

then, why were you
together with him?

I just ran into him.

is that true?

yes.

then, why are you still here?
I told you to go.

go.

you're worried about him, huh?

yes.

so,

you wanna show him
you're worried about him?

yes.

alright,

I'll tell him about it.

I'll tell him that
you came here to proudly show that.

now, you go!

no, I don't want to.

go!

I don't want to show you to him!

you're always making me
feel uneasy.

you're more uneasy to me..

than Boksu's being sick.

I shouldn't have told her to go..

she must be worried about him, too..

Boksu..

why did you get sick?
you jerk!

don't you know
I'm busy doing my work?

don't cry.

why are you crying?

people are watching us.

if you..

if you keep crying,
I'll get mad..

lie down.
doctor said you need more inspection.

what about Kyung?

I told her to go.

shouldn't I?

uh..

it's alright.

let's go.

no, you need more inspection.

I don't need that.

why?

you need more inspection..

I've got an anemia, that's all.

you have an anemia?
I don't think so.

I know every little thing about you.
even the dirt on your toes.

take more inspection!

give me a break!

there're many other things
you don't know about me.

I'm suffering from piles, too.

is he alright?

why are you taking me here?
you don't have to do this.

take care of yourself instead.

because I want to thank you.
you took so much care of me today.

go upstairs.

Boksu,

take care of your health, okay?

how come I didn't notice
you're having an anemia?

go upstairs!

Boksu,

why again?

I won't hit you
on your head any more..

that's a good news!

hurry!
go upstairs!

excuse me..

Kyung hasn't come yet?

hey,

why are you here?
you thief!

watch your wallet.

my wallet?

Byulli!

no money in it.

where are you going?

hey!

let him go.

why?

he's a boyfriend of Kyung.

what did you say?

today is not a..

not a good timing
to tell her about it.

Mirae cried a lot for me today..

let's do it next time.

I was just..

I was just trying to say that..

I will betray you!

but, you know..

I don't wanna get confused
about my life..

Boksu,

yes?

there's no one
who wants to get confused about life.

they just can't help getting confused.
that's all.

I was born to be confused
about my life,

born to have no answer for life.

actually,

me too..I'm the same..

that's why you like me.

no!

I like you because you're pretty,

not because you're confused.

who would go for a confused girl?

just let it be and..

let's see what happens.

can we do this?

isn't it unfair?

it's fairer than pick-pocketing.

Kyung pricks at my conscience
from time to time..

she's great!

have your disease treated,
okay?

that's of no use.

anemia can't be completely cured..

get treated, even then.

it's not a big deal.
and it can't be completely..

get treated!

I heard that,
even cancers can be cured these days.

even cancers..?

get treated, okay?

okay.

don't ever fall down again.

when you fell down to me a while back,
oh, I felt like..

you were too heavy.

I'll never do that again.

his mustache is off!

take him out,
we're running out of time.

wait a second,
I want to do this!

everybody get back to the position, okay?

stand by!

why don't you guys just wait for him..

hey, go help Junior,

- director!
- what?

I gotta pee..

put off it.

it..feels like
big one's coming, too..

Mr.Yang!
come back soon, okay?

o..okay!

hey, isn't he cute?

he's trying to help you.

he's so cute..

then, you can take Mr.Yang.
you think he's cute.

I'll take Mirae.

Mirae is not a property.

and..

I don't own her,
she owns me.

everybody's gone?

they went to buy cigarettes.

they better stop smoking.

hey, I got a call from the club.
they liked our demo songs.

they want us to play in their club.

is that true?

yeah..and they want us to play
3 songs in..what did they say..
in the independent film festival?

- it that true?
- yeah.

we've made it!

- let's start practice when they come.
- alright.

by the way,
why did you look pissed off
when I came in?

- break up with him.
- I'm sorry?

that thief..

you know what I'm saying?

he's..

not a thief any more..

but, he made Yun-jung die.

didn't he?

I don't think like that
any more..

cut!

I said, take him out!

please give me one more chance!

oh, it hurts..

what happened to you?

it hurts..

your head?

no..my nipples..

your nipples are always
giving you trouble!

let me see.

ouch!

holy cow!

don't say 'nipple'!

it's your chest, not nipple.

but it's alright.
at least it's not on your head.

you don't give me a hand?

oh, my head..

does your head ache?

no.

- oh..my head.
- you feel pain?

oh, my head..

do you feel pain?

wait, wait!

I gotta study now,
what am I doing here?

you want me to carry all these?

see?
you gotta help me now.

what have you done for me so far?

so shut up and help me.

I gotta win a favor of Boksu.

you guys still doing that?

hurry up,
so that we can have a drink.

director, I think I gotta go now.

gonna date a girl?

yes.

I envy you.

nobody here has a girlfriend.

every guy was
dumped by their girls!

these days,
girls just don't like stunt men.

it depends on
what kind of stunt man he is.

girls are driving me so crazy!
I could just die!

Boksu,
are you going to see Mirae?

I'm going with you.

hi, everybody!

oh, Mirae!

you got tall!

I was taller than you
even in the past.

who is she?

I'm his wife.

wife?
what are you talking about?

- help yourself!
- yes!!

wow..did you make
all these foods by yourself?

you bought it from store,
didn't you?

what the hell are you talking about?

she's very good at cooking.

you don't have to say that..
you're embarrassing me..

by the way,
who's the boss here?

no, no, not boss.

he's a director.

oh, you call him a director?

director,

please take good care of my Boksu.

he's illiterate,
but he's a very smart guy.

but.. he has an anemia,
so don't make him do tough jobs..

and please pay him a lot of money, okay?

ye..yes..

your wife's so cool, ex-convict.

ex-convict?

no, no, Boksu..

does everybody know
you're an ex-convict?

yeah.

you said it, didn't you?

no, director Yang did.

how did you find it out?

you said it to everybody here?

no.

oh, you look so pretty.

who are you?

I'm a daughter of Boksu.

daughter?

then, I'm his son.

you!

you wanted me to help you,
didn't you?

daddy,

that means I became a father
at the age of 10.

oh, I envy you.

at the age of 10..

- you guys must learn from ex-convict.
- yes, sir.

director,

don't call him ex-convict.

see?
what if I call you a son of b..

I said it to him already..
so don't use it.

but he's still calling
you ex-convict?

oh, I'm so scared..

Boksu, eat a lot.

uh..

good bye. see you.

bye, daddy.

bye, my daughter.

what?

here you are.
it's your medicine for anemia.

oh, you..

don't care too much about me..

Boksu,

yeah.

I will try my best to you.

if you want..

I'll change myself into..
exactly the same style like hers.

Mirae..

I'll become dull..just like her,

and I will listen to
the lousy music she likes.

and..

I'll wear the same hair style as hers.

and what else..?

I will make my face just like her,

by the plastic surgery..

oh, one more thing..

I'll gain a little more weight
just like her..

Mirae..you really..

I'll do all of that..

but you're using f-words too often.

I won't use them, either.

look,
if you gave up all 'your' things..

then you'll be ugly.

now you're very attractive.

look at you,
you're pretty, slim..

if you were not attractive,
I would've already run away from you.

I should've married you.

I thought..

I'd marry you
after you quit pick-pocketing..

Mr.Han,

Mr.Han,

don't move..

just for..

just for 5 seconds..

I don't know..

I don't know
why I'm doing this now..

it hurts my pride..

so much..

so heavy..

guys are so heavy..

oh, my back..

Mr.Han, you're home!

( ugly extra )

what is this?

so childish!

what is he thinking?

only when..

I'm drunk like a fish..

I can have a chance to see you.

why is she still awake?
it's late in the evening.

she gotta sleep.

Kyung,

good night.

he seems to have met Mirae.

' shining k '.

' dreaming butterfly '.

' 43 horror ' is nice, too.

what do you recommend?

don't ask me about it.

I found a solution!

Byulli can sing so well
when she's with us.

that's a solution for her.

( shining k.. )

( you shine on.. )

( thru red telephone pole.. )

( shining k.. )

( you shine on.. )

( even wind is broken.. )

( in front of k.. )

( thanks. )

what are you looking at?

you got dumped.

what?

who said that?

how are you doing..

you'll never know..

how much I'm suffering.

I miss him so much..
I could almost die.

but I'm standing the pain..

you'll never know..

I'm sorry..

you don't have to feel sorry about that..

it's me who have to feel sorry..

'cause Boksu..

likes you.

it looks bad.

when you're doing the wire-action,
the harness might give you pain.

so I invented it.

it's good to invent something,
but it looks bad.

I don't want to do stunt
with this on.

don't do it.

I wish you quit it.

why do you want me to quit it?
while you're doing it.

you're a patient!
aren't you!

you must get an operation..

you must perform an operation
in the hospital, too.

you know director Yang,

yeah.

years before,
he fell from the crane
down to the ground.

his head was crushed at that time.

oh, that's why..

he's doing weird things
from time to time.

what is weird?
what are you saying now?

I was so moved by him.

when I used to be
a resident at the hospital,

he was sent to our hospital.

everybody said he's gonna die.

he bled a lot..

on his 'skull'.

but he didn't die.

by the way,

what is 'skull'?

the head.

a bone in the head.

why are you using an english word?

skull..

it's my bad.
it's almost my habit.

Boksu,

he survived..

by his strong will.

not by doctor's help..no!

his strong will to live
saved him.

and that is a thing called 'miracle'.

after I saw him..I thought..

with him,
life would be worth living.

I thought so..

after I quit hospital,

he was the first one
to came to my mind.

Yang Chan-suk came to my mind.

he's a god..

to me.

are you crying?

you gotta feel something..

from this story.

feel so good!

I should've got up early..

to make breakfast for daddy.

I should!

thank you for breakfast, daddy!

oh, I forgot!

Kyung!

here's your breakfast, too.

I gotta buy Mirae again for you.

you're going out?

yeah.

isn't it a Ko Boksu's song?

right.

you should've bought me a cassette.

CD isn't working on this bus.

thank you for exchanging
it to a cassette.
I'm enjoying it.

I'll make breakfast for you
from tomorrow.

you don't have to.

you just concentrate on your study.

you must be tired.
aren't books heavy for you?

your english improved a lot?

daddy,

did you start drinking again?
after you heard about mom?

can't you see the bus coming?

he scared me so badly..

daddy,

can't you see I'm driving?

don't talk to me.

have your seat.

if you really want to drink,

have the natural mix with it.

don't drink soju with cigarette.

this can ease your stomach.

by the way, is it okay
to have natural mix with alcohol?

mom went out already?

yes,

lately, she goes out
early in the morning
and comes home late.

I'm worried about her.

I almost forgot this song.

it's so nice.

it used to be daddy's favorite.

really?
I didn't know he has a good taste.

no, it's not like that.

it's because..
every time he wanted me
to play something,

I played this.
'cause this was the only song
I could play well.

Kyung,

let's play together.

you..can't play piano, can you?

you taught me to play before.

oh..I remember..

alright, let's go.

let's do it again.

if I were from a rich family,
I could have taken piano lessons.

but you married a rich guy.

that's right.

we seem to be the only old people
in this cafe.

I guess you go to
only nice and expensive cafes.

no..

this place seems to be
made for young students..

I'm afraid they don't feel
comfortable with us here.

when you got old,
you worry about what people think about you.

how's your pretty Kyung?

she's doing fine.

does she look like you?

yeah.

it's..

it's second time for us to meet,
but you never mention about him.

our Kang..

he's doing better than Kyung.

he mixes with his father
much better than Kyung.

you haven't contacted Kang..

have you?

3 years ago..

he came to see me in my office..

and he said he's gonna get married..

and he cried over..

without saying anything.

it's because you didn't marry me.

do you know how many people
you put in misery?

if we lived together,
Kyung couldn't have been born.

you like Kyung..
better than our Kang.

what do you want?

I've got some business in this town.

then go away after your business!

I have some free time.

I'm a bit bored.

look,

you're always behaving
like a player.

you're an absolute opposite
to your sister.

boys and girls are different,
you know.

go home!
I'm busy.

okay, I'm going.
my free time is up.

does he have an affection deficiency?

you look very nice in this!

this might send me to jail,
it's illegal..

I borrowed this gown just for 10 minutes.
so we gotta finish it soon.

she's coming shortly.

just tell her that
I have an anemia, okay?

you gotta let
your family and friends
know about your disease.

no, I shouldn't..

why?

look,

people just started to call me 'Ko Boksu',
not a pick-pocket.

so I really don't want people call me a patient.
I wanna be called 'Ko Boksu'!

especially by this person!

and when I'm with this person,

I just feel like..
I can get over my disease!

I feel..I really can!

fortunately for you,
I'm not a doctor now.

a doctor has to stop
everything you're doing now.

she's come!

oh..

she's pretty..

your wife was nice, too.

I told you she's not my wife!

I just had an inspection
in this hospital.

he's a doctor.

doctor,
tell her about it.

by the way,
how can a doctor
get outside of the hospital?

you don't have to be
in your office?

I'm sorry?

oh, from time to time..

I took my patients outside
and have a walk with them.

oh..you're very nice..

you're not one of those arrogant doctors!

I couldn't agree with you more.

and he looks cute, too.

well..

tell her about it, doctor.

let me tell you about anemia..

you heard him?
he said it's alright.

I told you I'm okay,
remember?

but I still feel uneasy..

about what?

I don't know..

but..I'm still a bit worried..

hey, Junior!

Boksu!

I saw all you've done..

I just can't help it..

I just can't..

I can't get out of
this old habit..

I can't help it..

Junior, you just collapsed
at one shot of temptation.

I'm so afraid of..

collapsing just like you.

I'm so scared of that.

so,

you wanna show me
an example?

you wanna do this again?

if you do it,
I'll do it too.

I won't do it again.

if I do it one more time,
you can cut my wrist out.

I won't do it again..

I won't..

take this purse to
the lost & found center.

I trust you,
take it to the lost & found, okay?

okay.

I'm sorry..

Kyung,

yes,

I might do it again like him.

I'm not very different from him.

I used to be just like him.

you're disgusted, aren't you?

okay, from now,
I'll keep an eye on you.

you've improved quite a lot,
almost on the director level.

re..really?

you must be kidding!

oh!

how do you know
that I'm kidding?

oh..please..!

am I on the director level or not?

if you keep on improving like now,
you'll be a director someday, I bet.

Ko Boksu,

you impressed me.

oh..you're making me to blush..

by the way,

why are you calling me 'Ko Boksu'?

not 'ex-convict'?

by my standard,
you're not an ex-convict any more.

but you're worse than an ex-convict!

what a lazy..

how much did you get?

money for a chewing gum.

if you buy gums by this money,
you'll be drowned in gums.

let's go!

where are you going?

I feel great!

feel great?

great!

it's so exciting!

I'm happy to make you feel great!

thank you, Boksu!

my Junior!

finally, you're fighting a bottle?

can you smell it?

why are you wasting alcohol?

didn't I tell you to drink it
with the natural mix?

by the way,

you still have your easel, right?

yes, why?

what is this?

start to paint again.

I heard there's a guy
who started painting
at the age of some 50.

and he's now holding a great exhibition!

painting doesn't seem to
have a lot to do with age.
don't you think so?

what is his name?

I don't remember his name.
I have nothing to do with him,
you know.

you used to paint big paintings
for the theatre..
so you're better than him.

if you start to paint..

I'll go to college.

- Boksu,
- yeah?

why you don't hate me?

why am I supposed to?

'cause I brought back
your sad memories..

it's not you who brought it back..

it's me.

I have no time to hate someone.

I'm so busy..loving people..

and I gotta go to college,
so I'm very busy!

you gotta buy me a canvas, too!

I can't paint without one!

oh, you're so greedy..

you buy it yourself!

no..

I'll buy one for you..

don't hide your feeling.

you're happy, aren't you?

this shoes are nice, but..

I don't really have
a chance to wear it..

my ankle got too weak to wear
this kind of high-heels..

can you exchange this
to low-heels for me?

this is not very high-heeled,
that's what they said.

yes, it is high-heeled.

exchange it to a lower one?
well, this pair was the prettiest..

okay,
I'll get a different pair for you.

wait a second..

is it okay for me?

feels like it's okay..

it was the prettiest.

really?
was it the best pair?

yeah.

feels like okay..
leave it here.

I'll try it one more time.
if it still gives me trouble,
then you can exchange it to lower one.

how picky you are..
I'm giving you a present now!

what is this?

that's for Sung-ho.

I bought colors
for Sung-ho to paint.

oil-colors?

no way!
it will give us bad smell!

can't you see that
we're living in a closed space?

then, what about
the smell of cooking oil?

that..smells yummy, you know.

that's your opinion.

watercolors.

that's good.

oh..

you finally praised me..
it's so hard to get praised by you.

thank you for shoes.

oh..

you praised me twice!

I got enough praise from you,
so I gotta get out of here..
before you change your mind.

bye, mom.

mom, when I make more money,

I'll buy you
the italian designer's shoes!

those high-end stuffs..

are going so well with my mom!

what a kind-hearted boy he is..

this shoes are pretty.

he has an anemia.

so..

buy some anemia medicine and give it to me.
I'll pass it to him.

I think he should eat..

a lot of meat.

why?
is meat good for anemia?

'cause meat contains protein.

you're so smart, huh?

don't ever try to flirt him
by dinner of meat.

- I can do it.
- I can do it.

you said it's your treat today.

you wanted to come
to the most expensive roast beef house.

so you gotta take care of it.

is it that expensive here?

I don't know,
'cause I didn't pay for it.

but I heard that
this restaurant is very famous.

a rich guy bought me a dinner here.

the journalist?

yes.

he looked very rich..

it must be very expensive, then..

but I'm not worried.
we're just 2 people.

I eat a lot.

a lot?

yeah, I eat as much as possible.

oh, I'm scared.

I'm paying, too.

no, you don't have to.
it's me who wanted to come here.

eat less.

Ko Boksu!

I didn't imagine
I'd see you here.

what a scene!
you're with a woman!

hey girl,
I think you know me.

yes, I know you.

I know you, too.
you're a musician.

why are you having dinner
with a thief, by the way?

sgt.Park..one minute..

Boksu,

nevermind him.

do you guys know each other?

sgt.Park..

what's your relationship with her?

I'm his girlfriend.

what a player you are!

you changed your girlfriend?

you change your glove.

you're still wearing the old one..

how dirty..

I've never seen anybody beat Jung-dal..

even Mirae couldn't.

why are you so afraid of him?

no, I'm not!

I used to call him by his first name,
Jung-dal..Jung-dal..

I don't believe it.

yes, it's true!

true..

Junior can tell you it's true..
it's true!

whenever Jung-dal gives you a headache,
you can call me.
I'll help you.

okay.

it's fun to fool Jung-dal..

that's fun.
that's very addictive.

and it's alright,
'cause Jung-dal is a bad guy.

it's alright to fool him.

I wish Mirae is a bad girl, too..

then, I can fool her
just like I did to Jung-dal.

but..

she's so cool..
I must admit that..

I beat her up.

you got angry, right?

wh..why?

'cause I was so bored.

she's too skinny to beat up..

Kyung,

now I'm..two-timing, ain't I?

it's so funny..

thank you.

for the first time in my life,

I feel like I'm a movie star
in a love story.

it feels like..I'm somebody!

but if I keep on doing this,

then I'll just be a playboy.

fooling two girls..

so,

I don't want to be a player.

no matter how cool Mirae is,

I don't want to be a player.

I don't want to be like that.

oh..it's very spacious!

isn't it?

uh..Mirae..

( Boksu, )

( I saw you. )

uh?

I came here to see you,

but the main office is closed.

let her go.

I'll forgive you this time.

Boksu,

Boksu,

Boksu..

oh..

it's too tough for me..

hello,

Kyung,

don't go.

( don't go. )

( stop there. )

Mirae,

no.

I'm not breaking up with you.

I'm not..

Mirae,

shut up.

I hate you!
