CHAPTER 14

Yang Dong-geun & Lee Na-young

SCRIPT by In Jung-ok

I don't have to know about it?

no.

DIRECTED by Park Sung-su

she doesn't know about it, either?

no..

your dad, neither?

right..

your mom, neither?

no.

your brother and Junior
don't know, either?

no..

only me know what it is..

yeah.

why only me?
it's terrifying..

right,
why is it you?

I'm sorry for you, Mirae.

what happens
if other people know about it?

if other people know,

I'd be in misery.

why?

because..

people would look at me..

just like the way
you're looking at me right now.

how am I looking at you right now?

you tell me.
how do I look to you?

I can't help crying, Boksu.

now it's clear.

people will look at me..
just like they can't help crying.

that's why..

I'd definitely be in a misery.

how come I didn't notice it?

how come a girl
who thinks of becoming a nurse..

didn't notice your disease?
until you got this serious?

how much did you suffer?

it must have hurt so much..

how come I didn't notice it?

don't beat me up.
that hurts.

my head didn't give me much pain.

doctors are suspecting
it must have hurt so much.

but no, it hasn't.

doctors are funny.

they keep saying it must hurt,
while it doesn't.

they're funny.

yes, it must have hurt.

it's in a serious condition..

I don't know why..

but it didn't hurt.

maybe it's because
I'm so happy with my life.

are you that happy? with your life?

yeah.

I envy you,
you jerk.

I envy you
because you're so happy.

you jerk..

you must do something
on your disease.

why are you doing nothing?
you jerk!

I'm trying now.

I'm..

doing my best now..

not to die.

I'm trying my best now.

doing exercise..eating good foods..

doing good things..bad things..

I'm doing everything!

I'm doing everything
what I haven't done before.

I even betrayed you, you know.

you stupid,
I gotta beat you up..

you keep on doing every funny things..

you're crying again..

you should have been the last one..

to know about my disease.

I knew you'd be like this.

I knew you'd cry.

stop it!

are you drunk?

you don't want to die?

don't try to look cool,

just die!

you gotta die quick.

it's not the old time movie.

get the pike again.

it looked a bit dull.

okay.

you must have super bones.
how can you recover so quickly?

are you human?

what if I'm not a human?

take it!

you're an un-human.

take it now!

don't try to look cool!

let's go, let's go!

pack up and follow us, Kyung.

- Byulli, don't forget your sunglasses.
- okay.

Byulli, don't forget the black tape.

right.

let's go!

- let's follow them!
- alright.

hey,

are you guys doing a show today?

yes.

can you make living on that?

Mirae, I'm busy now.

you,

I think I have to stand by Boksu,

but I can't tell you the exact reason.

why?

I said, I have some reason.

what is that?

I can't tell you about it.

why do you keep on doing this to us?

I just felt..

Boksu needs me.

why are you changing your mind
so frequently?

change my mind?

I didn't say I'd quit Boksu,
did I?

but it was almost like that.

that's your thought.

I can't break up with Boksu,

so you break up with Boksu
or you gotta put up with me.

we won't break up!

she's so stupid.

are you a gum attached to Boksu?

yeah, I'm a gum.

it gets annoying..

oh, she got so rude.

she has changed a lot.

hey you..

you can't handle it alone.

I gotta help.

it's not because
my keyboard is an old one,
it's because they don't have good hands.

- you want me to
buy a new keyboard for you?
- yes!

when I get the new paycheck,
I'll buy you a new one.

give us money to make a record, too.

sure!

- what else?
- let us have a concert
at the Chamsil olympic stadium.

not a problem here.

- what else?
- let us do a world tour.

okay, okay.
I'll let you do everything you want.

I'll buy a charter plane for you!

what else?

let me have some ice-cream.

Ice..

ice-cream?
think I can't buy it for you?

I'll buy it for you right now.
I've got money to burn!

- Boksu,
- yes?

are pick-pockets always working
at the same location?

that's right,
they have some 'boundaries'.

if you ever crossed over it,
other pick-pockets might attack you.

oh..

why am I telling
this kind of thing to you?

did I sound cocky?

yes.

by the way,
why did you ask me about it?

'cause I saw you here twice.

first time, you picked somebody's wallet,
and second time,
we were sent to jail from this station.

oh..

please don't mention about that!

how can you use the word,'jail'?

it was not exactly a jail,
we were just in custody, that's all.

Kyung,

don't put anything but music
into your brain.

these days,
it feels like the garbage inside me..
is touching your body.

I feel really uncomfortable with that.

I hope you to live only in music,

and avoid the bad smell from my past.

no way!

why?

I'm not a precious princess, am I?

I'd like to smell your garbages inside.

no way!
I don't want you to share
the dirty garbages from my past.

everyone has garbages inside.

maybe that's why people wanna see
only pretty and nice things.

they just don't want face
the garbages inside themselves.

and they're throwing up
when they're seeing dirty things.

but you know what?
I will face garbages inside me, and yours, too.

I'm not a person
who'd throw up easily.

you gotta see only good things..

only then you can have a happy life.

that's what my daddy said,
you know nothing.

what happened?

what are you doing?

you don't want me to see Junior?

why?

you must see only good things..

only then you can have a happy life.

I don't think so.

I'm afraid..

bad things might happen again.

but I have no choice.

Boksu!

you..

does Jung-dal want you to
be a spy?

- yeah.
- no, you don't have to do it.

let's get out of here.

Kyung!

calm down.

good combination with your girl.

Kyung, you take Junior
and don't let him run away.

bro!

can I have some..

'TALKING ABOUT' with you for a second?

OKAY.

oh, it's gone.

want some ice cream?

bro, I wanna take Junior with me.

I saved him from jail,
he's mine.

but you let him steal
while you're using him as a spy.

that's illegal, you know.

every prosecuter knows that.

wherever a detector goes,
there's a spy.

but that's still not legal.

okay, you want me to
send him to jail 'by the law'?

no..let's do it this way..

you beat me up.

you can beat the crap out of me..

and set Junior free, okay?

it takes so long..

well..

will you release my hand?

I'm sweating on my wrist.

no way.

I'm serious!
it's hot today!

oh..I'm not running away!

but,

who knows?

why don't you pick-pocket again?

guess why I'm hanging around your territory?

I'm not here to catch Junior.

I'm here for you!

you finished?

not yet..

one minute..
I gotta take some rest..

be quick!

it's strange..

how can you quit pick-pocketing?

very strange..

pick-pocketing is more addictive than drugs.

it's so strange..

good bye, you jerk.

I won't follow you any more.

but I'll be waiting here for you.

you can never quit pick-pocketing..

until you die.

I have already died..

without letting you know.

now I'm living a new life.

oh, are you?

now I can get what happened.

raise Junior well.

I'm leaving.

I'm free!

oh, I'm happy now..

I'm so happy..

Boksu is sleeping in the restroom.

Boksu!

Boksu!

Boksu!

Junior,

it's all over now.

it's really hard..

to get out of this world.

it's..all over!

oh, Jung-dal is..

so brisk!

he's so cool!

I'll never do it again..

never..never..

never..

Boksu!

you can go home,
it's too late.

I'll take care of him.

you go home.

- why?
- I wanna be with her.

are you two..

lovers?

yeah.

alright.

I'll keep it as a secret to Mirae.

good.

see ya.

- I wanted to be with you, too.
- I knew.

I was happy with you
even when we were in jail together.

Kyung, please don't talk about it again.

I was happy because..

I could see how dirty
your life had been.

that day,
I realized bunch of things.

I didn't know that
going to jail was that easy.

and I didn't know that
some pickpockets are doing spy jobs.

you don't have to know about
those dirty things..

you just don't have to.

although my wallet has been picked,
I started to like pickpockets..after I met you.

you're like a kid.

you have no better things to like?

I mean, I liked pickpockets
because you used to be one of 'em.

well but..

my fantasy about pickpockets
got broken today.

being a pickpocket is..

a mean and dirty job!
always walking on niddles..
not to get caught by cops..

and..

I didn't know..

it's THAT hard
to quit being a pickpocket.

changing the world you live in is..

more difficult than dying.

when you're dying,
you can just quit the world.

but changing the world is..

much more difficult
'cause you gotta change
the whole world you live in.

you're great, really.

'cause you've changed your world.

why did you get up this early?

why did you get up this early, too?

I'm going to the library.

at this hour?

it's already open now.

- right.
- then, I'm going there.

I'll make breakfast for you.

no thanks.

Boksu,

yeah.

are you really going to the library?

yeah.

which library?

where is the library located?

it's located in..

it's my bag..

you're studying english so hard.

what are you doing?
give me my bag.

what is the 'stunt man'?

daddy..

actually..I'm doing that now..

you're already doing that?

yeah.

I don't know what the stunt man is.

but..it looks like a nice job.

'cause it's written in english.

yes, it's a good thing.

can you do it
without the college diploma?

yeah.

then, it's not a very good job
isn't it..?

yes, it's still a good job.

get a better job..

which needs a college diploma.

you don't have to make money now,
do you?

study first,
and get your job after graduation.

you, quit the stunt man.

I'll take you to the library
from tomorrow.

I need to make some money..

why do you need to make money?

'cause I need some.

why do you need money?

I'm dating a girl, you know.

I'll give you money for that.

don't think money first.

you gotta have a dream.

oh..boy..

a husband and a wife are so different!

one says money,
the other says..

a dream.

who said 'money'?

nevermind.

I'm going.

one more of this, please.

sure.

you wanna drink, too?

no.

are you getting along well
with your wife?

no.

why?

she's too obedient.

does that give you any problem?

she's so boring.

married life is
normally like that..

how do you know?
you haven't got married.

help yourself.

I heard that you like Sashimi.

that's why I'm buying this to you.

thank you.

take as much as you please now,
'cause we'll never see each other again.

I won't be able to give you
a religious service,

so take this now
as your religious service.

Kang..

don't call my name
as if you're my real father.

you made other person
to do the father job.

don't slip into my father list.

Sashimi may go bad..

professor Kim,

have your dinner,
and don't talk to me.

back then..

we couldn't get married..

mom and I had no money..
we were just students.

but I didn't imagine..

she'd marry another guy so soon.

- your mom..
- don't blame on my mother,

and don't call my father 'another guy'.

my father and mother are main people,

and you're the 'another guy'.

you know what I mean?

father..

this will be the last time..

I call you 'father'..

don't ever..

see my mother..

again.

I'll buy it for him!

you can't buy this for him.

cell phone is very expensive.

but I'll buy one for him!

you don't have to waste money on this!

you can just give it to him.

I said, I won't!

okay then,
after you buy one for him,

will you let me know
his cell phone number?

no.

look,

think about it,

you and Boksu used to chat
on this phone.

right?

you guys have done adultery on this phone,
haven't you!

so?

'so'?
oh my..

look,

I've forgiven you guys
about all that stuff,
but you still don't want to
pass it to him for me?

I don't get what she's saying..

don't buy a new one for him.

just pass this one to him.

I've been with him for 7 years,
do you think I have nothing to talk about
with him?

I don't hate him, you know.

it's natural for us to have a talk.

he doesn't hate me, either.
does he?

please give it to him.

you said you're sorry for me.
but you've done nothing for me so far.

please,
let me have his phone number.

I don't want to..

okay,

I can go to the action school
and give it to him.

oh..you got jealousy?

Mirae,

don't you think..

we three have
a very weird relationship?

it's because we're seeing
each other's faces everyday.

just like Boksu and me
in the old days.

you can move out,
if you don't like it.

then, I'll fight hard with you
like other girls do.

if you don't give it to him,
I will just go mad!

why is a cool girl like her
suddenly doing this kind of thing?

you've come again?

but unfortunately,
I gotta go to the baseball park now.

I'll take you there.

will you?
okay, I'll be with you in a moment.

Kang, how come you're here?

to take her to the ballpark.

what?

why are you looking at me like that?
I'm just taking her to the ballpark.

you're..

having an affair with her?

I haven't even hold her hand yet.

if Misun knew about it,
you'd get in trouble.

that's why I gotta keep it a secret.

you can help me.

what if I won't?

if you were that kind of person,
you would've told father already
that I'm not his real son.

you're taking all your friends?

I'll take the front seat today.

that's good.

I don't really get what's happening now..

director,

what?

why a Japanese guy and a Chinese guy
fight each other in our country?
let them fight in their country.

I guess it's maybe because
China's too far away from Japan.
so they wanna fight in the middle.

but I still don't feel good about it.

director,
let's make the action scene crappy.

I don't want them
to have a cool fight in our country.

look,
if we do our job
in that point of view,

every fighting scene has to be crappy.

what about the gangster movie?

why do we have to make it look cool?

they're bad guys, you know.

but we still have to make it look cool.

why?

because it's our job.

but I still don't like it.

I don't like Japanese and Chinese
fighting in my country.

they gotta pay the rent for our land!

oh..

my face..

hold it.

oh, it hurts..

director, you alright?

back off!

look,
you gotta keep the que sheet.

please don't ad-lib!

you were supposed to hold the pike
by your right hand.
why did you use your left?

that caused trouble!

the pike just slipped out of my hand..

you tried to look cool,
didn't you?

no..

how could I think about 'looking cool'
during fighting?

you were saying 'let's make it crappy'.
but you tried to look cool.

how mean you are..

I said, my hand didn't work!

why is he yelling at me?
it's me who's got hurt!

hold it tight.

hold it as tight as you can.

hold it.

one more time.

hold it tight.

it doesn't really work..

take your costume off,
I'll do it for you.

no way.
that would give trouble to our staff.

I have only 1 scene left.

you wanna do it?

then, hold the pike with both hands.

I'll tell Chan-suk about it.

don't tell him.

he might not like it..

he already knows..

about it.

about what?

about your disease.

what a glib talker you are!

why didn't he stop me, then?

this job is your wire.

that's what he said.

this is your life-wire.

so if we stop you from doing it,

you're gonna die,
that's what he said.

oh..

he does know what is life!

I quit the hospital
not to see this kind of thing any more..

but you followed me here
and now you're showing it to me!

my stomach trouble may get worse!

you have a stomach trouble?

go find good medicine for you..

ouch!

they are all jerks!

so are you!

why are you seating here?

I'm watching the game.

you don't have to work today?

can't you see
I'm watching the game?

when you're watching the game,
you don't need to work?

how can I 'work'
while watching baseball?

okay, watch the game.

it feels like it never ends.

he never answers the call..

and he's not working, either..
he used to be a workaholic.

look,

I can't help imagining bad things.

bad things?

he might be having an affair..

an affair?

he has never had a girlfriend.
he just chose you and married you.

he's not interested in women.

you're not going home?

you go home first.

what the hell you're doing here?

hey,

what?

I can breathe..
only when I'm with you.

what?

I'm very lucky
to know you.

let's go.

( a new mail from Kyung )

( Mr.Han, )

( I'm Kyung. )

I know you're Kyung.

( Mr.Han.. )

( I want to show you my face.. )

( from time to time by email. )

what happened?

( I'm worried that.. )

( you're so bored and lonely.. )

( that's what I thought,
when I saw your lonely laptop
at your home.. )

I'll ease your loneliness..

by email from this laptop
which you gave to me.

I'm so sorry for you..

'cause only me living a happy life..

( you envy me, don't you? )

yeah, you're making me envy you now.

( I'll come again. )

thank you, honey.

hope to see you often.

what is this?

I took it from home.

oh!

alright then..

let's have it on the bus
while we're touring Seoul.

you're a genius..

you're so good at dating!

are you praising me now?

yes!

oh, I forgot,

what is this?

Mirae wants me to give it to you.

don't feel embarrassed.

I didn't want to get it, but..

a cell phone is expensive, you know.

I really don't want to
let you see her,

but..

we've done wrong to her,
that's a fact.

I think, when you wanna talk to her..
it's alright to call her,

but you'll get jealousy!

well..if I got jealousy..

then I'll just get jealousy.

but you're still my boyfriend.

( Mirae )

hello?

I'm alright,
don't worry about me.

I have no problem.

Kyung,

yes,

I feel sleepy.

have some sleep.

don't stifle me to death!

don't say like that.
that's scary!

( we've got a hole on the tire! )

a hole?

it's a 'flat' tire,
not a hole..

( what can I do? )

when did they put the lights
on the bridges?

oh..
every bridge has different color..

bridges had lights with them
even in the past, didn't they?

were they dark before?

but it was not like
this sort of red and blue lights.

I didn't notice this before.

they've got colorful lights!

it looks very pretty from here..

pretty..

- Seoul is pretty.
- yeah.

what happened?

it's a day-off for me.

- well, your stunt job..
- yeah,

quit it.

okay..

I got this movie tickets
from my friend.

you can go to movie
with your girlfriend.

come home early.

how can I come home early
after movie with my girl?

oh!

it's an animation.

I have a gig tonight.

I can't make it today..

it's boring, isn't it?

it's so childish.

alright then,

let's go to..

an x-rated movie.

this movie is too childish for us.

master,

don't call me master.

people out there will laugh about it.
I'm just a bus driver.

let them laugh.

you taught me how to paint
really well.

you were much better than
art teachers at school.

was I..?

let me finish this first,
and let's go have a drink.

let me go inside the theater.

why?

I wanna see my son's girlfriend.
I gave the tickets to him.

okay, come back soon.

who are you?

you know Boksu?

yes.

he's my brother.

brother?

yes..

he's my brother.

what is your mom's name?

Chung..Yoo..soon..

where do you live?

Mirae?

I'm alright!
you don't have to worry about me.

anyway, come to my place.

we should see each other.
that's why I gave the phone to you.

bring your brother, too.

we can only meet at my place.
otherwise, she may catch us.

okay.

now the situation has changed.

welcome,

don't stare at him like that.
or your eyes might pop out.

you get inside with her, okay?

how dare you come here?

I told him to come here.
it's none of your business!

you scared this kid!

I don't think you're a human being!

I don't have any problem with you.
it's your brother who's giving me one.

this is why I shouldn't come here.

Hyun-ji makes me sad..
she reminds me of the past..

this is why
we shouldn't see each other.

Boksu,

I..

I thought about it deeply.

about what?

I..

I want to go as far as
I can go with you.

I wish it badly.

marry me.

are you crazy?

oh boy..

you got a disease?

you wanna marry her, then?

marry..

I don't know about that.
but I'll stay as a boyfriend to her.

you can never ask her to marry you.

because I'm not prepared..
to marry her yet.

it's not because of that.

it's because
you know you're gonna die,
I know that.

but you don't want to leave her.

just because you're so happy
with her now.

you don't want to think about
what will happen.

you stupid.

you must be very happy with her now.

I understand that.

'cause I was happy with you, too.

now you're hiding your disease..

but it's gonna get much worse than now..
you're gonna be screaming from the pain.

and you're gonna try to hide that..

I just can't let you do that.
I can't..

I..

I don't know much about it..
but..

I don't think..

I'm gonna die so irresponsibly
with her by my side.

there's no responsibility about dying.

you will..

die.

you're gonna die definitely
sooner than me or her.

I can take care of
all the ugly and dirty sides of you.

I can handle..

even your death.

but she'll get deeply hurt,
if you die.

you know what I mean?

you need someone
you can show your dirty and ugly sides
while you're suffering from dying..

that's why I have to
stand by you.

I have to be with you..

not to send her
to the hell in the end of this world.

don't you think so?

I've never felt..

my death..so realistically..

and so vividly..before.

it's the first time.

thank you very much.

now I can feel that..

you're a very important person
to my life.

I can just feel it!

you're great, Mirae.

but,

today, you made me..

oh..

you made me lose
the strength to live.

you're great.

Sung-ho, let's go home!

( Kyung )

Kyung!

( did she call you? )

she might attract you,
I'm worried about that.

don't see her
without letting me know, okay?

she's so cool,
so, she can get you back again.

did you have your dinner?

Kyung,

from now..

I'll show you
not only good sides of me.

but you're gonna see dirty..

and bad sides of me as well.
are you ready for that?

I'm ready, Mr.Ko Boksu.

you wanna have drink?

no.

it seemed..
you could never give up drinking..

for your whole life.

maybe I got matured..

to see you running away from me.

I guess it's not because
I ran away from you.

maybe you got free without me.

so you had no reason to drink any more.

you can't say 'no',
can you?

I admit I was..

so cruel to you..

you know it.

anything..

I can do for you..?

no!

don't show up!
that's the only thing
you can do for me.

Boksu gives me living expenses,
and he bought me this chicken house as well.

I took it
as a compensation from you.

Boksu's still giving money to you?

why?
you want the money?

don't get money
from Boksu.

I'll give money to you,
but don't take money from Boksu.

you mean, I'm sucking his blood now?

almost.

what?

now I get
why he needs money..

how can you..

how can you do this to me?

you came here to say
only this kinda thing to me?

I'm not blaming on you!
but please hear my words..

I can give you
even my bank account tomorrow!
so don't mess with Boksu.

it's 'you'
who's dragging him down!

set him free!
then he can be a real good man!

how can you be so harsh on me?

you don't even have a smallest
affection for me at all?

it's been a long time..

do I still..

look like dirt to you?

you treated me like..

dirt..

like dirt..like bugs..

but I liked you!
even when you were
treating me like that!

go away!

don't ever show up again!

and I will..

I will take money..

from Boksu!

as long as he's not killing people
to make the money!

no,

even if he's killing people,
I will get the money
as long as he's not telling me.

with the money,
I will live with my Sung-ho,

as comfortably as you and Boksu can be!

I'm so sorry,
Boksu's mom..

I was so sorry for you before..

and I'm so sorry for you now..

and..

I'm afraid..
I might do harm to you again..

in the future.

but,

Boksu's mom,

although I'm the bastard
who gotta be beaten to death by you,

Boksu is not..

Boksu is not me.

don't try to..

compensate your dark memories
by Boksu.

he's..

putting up with..

and taking care of..

parents like us.

he's just like an angel..

I'm so sorry,
Boksu's mom..

Boksu's dad!

what do you mean by
'I'm sucking Boksu's blood'..?

he used to be a pick-pocket..

it's my fault..

I have no excuse for that..

- is he sleeping?
- yeah.

what happened to your eyes?

my eyes?

your nose is red, too.

take him inside..

you didn't see dad, did you?

what?

I saw my dad walking away
from this street.

my gosh..

I just ran away
not to let him see me.

does he have any business
in this town?

- I'm going!
- Boksu,

what?

I'll make your dinner.
have your dinner here today.

it's way past dinner time..
I'm going!

have your dinner here..

well, okay.

make a fantastic dinner
for me, then!

it's the first time, you know..

you wanna make a dinner for me!

my gosh..

you dropped it!

see? don't try to do
what you're not used to do.

forgive me, Boksu..

Boksu..

forgive me..

Boksu,
please forgive me..

Boksu..

forgive your mom..

it's my fault..
forgive me, Boksu..

forgive me, Boksu..

it's my fault..
