Part 16 A Starry Day
I saw him eat, then left to get his things.
His things?
Yeah.
His cell phone and things he needs.
How is he?
He seemed bad yesterday.
He goes between doing well and bad.
I think he's well now.
- So I stepped out for a bit. - Sir.
He has to regain his strength to get surgery.
He had a long conversation with me today.
He's looking for you.
- The nail man. - The doctor said
he looks better, too.
But he's not looking for the tall guy,
but the guy with glasses.
- Glasses? - Yes.
I guess you're busy. Let's talk later.
I'm almost there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Okay. Keep me updated.
Bye.
Last Unit Okay. Be safe. Call me later.
Last Unit A photo has been sent.

You think
I don't have anything on you?
Why are you out here?
What?
What is it?
Is something the matter?
No.
What about Dad?
He's asleep.
Let's go inside.
Okay.
What is it?
This is
Jeong-woo's belongings.
I contemplated
on whether to throw them away
or burn them.
I figured it'd be best if his family had it.
Jeong-woo
was a good person.

Can you tell me
more about Jeong-woo?

I come here trusting that haughty signboard,
buying expensive food,
but if you trick people while dealing with food,
you'll all go to hell.
Right, Sir.
We won't go to hell.
Right?
Sure.
By the way,
why have you gotten short?
Me?
You've gotten short!
It's right.
Oh.
I've been carrying heavy stuff these days.
Can you help him to the cashier?
Yes, Sir.
Come this way, Sir.
Okay.
Goodbye, Sir.
What heavy things did he carry?
Pneumonia in the elderly, Difficult in treatment
Doctor Plate Pneumonia as fatal as cancer
As fatal as cancer...
Sepsis symptoms and cause
Most causes of death by disease
is due to sepsis.
Dream of teeth falling out, Dream interpretation
Dream of deceased parents
No news is good news.
I'm just searching.
Since I had a bad dream.
Dream?
Dreams are important at times like this.
Right?
I had a weird dream.
Come to think of it,
it wasn't mine.
I think I dreamt of what my mother dreamt.
Because I heard about it so much.
That's possible.
What was her dream?
A crazy witch...
Crazy witch?
A woman...
Forget it.
It'll only creep me out.
Really!
Really what?
Your wife is really blessed.
Who would refuse to eat
because his father-in-law is sick?
You're barely focusing at your work.
When did I do my work sloppily?
It was just for today.
Anyway.
The old man won't look for the tall one anymore.
Why?
Because the tall one doesn't exist anymore.
What do you mean?
You had to be there.
Sir.
Take a look at this.
Who is this?
What's all this?
It's an online chat app.
Chat app?
Wait.
What about
the pretty girlfriend you had?
Who?
Oh.
We stopped talking ages ago.
Why?
I don't know.
I guess...
she's found her true love or something.
What's that?
She's not seeing you?
Huh?
Beats me.
How can I know a woman's heart?
And such a pretty woman at that.
What the?
Women are
too difficult.
Thinking about it gives me a headache.
Hey, you
have become very humble.
Why? Did she hurt you or what?
I don't know.
What?
I guess she did.
Over all, I think I did well.
But while I was out of the business,
I think I've become old.
Girls these days
have the kind of beauty that comes from wealth.
Like they've never been through hardships.
Anyway,
I don't feel so great.
I feel depressed.
They look like they have a different background.
- They look classier. - What?
What?
What? What? What?
What do you want?
Oh, this?
Here.
- Are you listening? - Yes.
I'm listening.
When I say something,
you should say I'm right or wrong
or that I'm prettier.
You should at least have a response.
I even stepped on mud on my way home
and ruined my shoes.
I feel like I'm talking to a tree.
Now you're saying I'm classy?
You think I'll believe that?
You and Gang-jae are two of a kind.
Forget it.
Talk to me later through Gang-jae.
Bye.
Hi, Gang-jae.
You're calling me first? What's the occasion?
Did you hear that I went to an audition?
What?
Why'd you go? You'll only get hurt.
You never learn.
What does that mean?
You saying I'm destined to get rejected?
I'm talking about probability.
Anyway.
You know
the box that was on the loft, right?
Box?
Yeah.
I also know what's in it.
Hmph.
That doesn't surprise me anymore.
Why?
What do you want to know?
You know
Jong-hoon? Manager Seo?
The day he came,
did he also go to the loft?
Probably.
Why?
He took something, huh?
Was it...the cell phone?
Last Unit Okay. Be safe. Call me later.
Have you set out?
Mom said she just arrived at the hospital.
I'm leaving now.
Gangbuk Shina Hospital
I'll do it.
You can go.
Was it cardiac arrest?
Yes.
Did they do CPR?
Yes, for now.
What about a ventilator?
I don't know.
They said he's in critical condition.
Darn it.
I heard
patients shouldn't be put on ventilators.
They'll suffer.
What?
Was saying that really necessary?
Oh, umm...
People I know
said you have to steel yourself.
Steel yourself for what?
Right.
If I steel myself?
Then what?
Just let Father go like that?
Huh?
Let him die?
Because that way he won't suffer?
Oh...
Sir.
Take a cab, Sir!
Jong-hoon.
What the...
It's me.
Gang-jae?
What are you doing here?
Why is this here?
What?
Why is an item that was at my place here?
I thought you were a scammer, but you're a thief.
What's with the name calling?
And that's not yours. It's Jeong-woo's.
You came here because of that?
If you exploit women, you're a scammer,
If you take without permission, you're a thief.
Why are you being so sensitive?
You erased everything. There was nothing.
Then why'd you take it? It's confusing.
Wow.
Even if you grill me, you should know
it's over between you two.
She has the photos.
She was told I gave you work.
She knows about Jeong-woo.
It was all sent to her.
She's not responding, is she?
Even if you wait, she won't call, Gang-jae.
She's married.
She won't do anything that'll ruin her life.
Married women are like that.
Dad.
Dad...
Father...
Dad...
Dear Dad.
I guess I thought
when I was over forty,
I'd own a small house outside of Seoul,
a yard where I'd dry my laundry,
or a small study.
I'd have
one kid.
Or maybe two.
A book with my name on the cover,
if I'm lucky.
I thought I'd become like that.
I guess I believed that kind of life
was not a failure.
I thought that was the way to make you happy.
I think
I just decided to believe that.
Where did it all go wrong?
Where
must I start over?
Dad, I think...
Now,
I know what death is
and what
life is.
I feel like
I know a little now.
In the end,
death is a part of life.
Why didn't I know that then?
I have never lived a day
in this world without you.
So I don't know how I'll live
for the rest of my life.
I just don't want to call her "mother."
Why?
Mom is "Mom"
and your mother-in-law is "Mother."
Dad.
I now
realize
that rather than what you become,
what you do is more important.
With your eyes,
your actions,
and your life, you've been telling me that.
I am
slowly
realizing that now.
Dad!
Can you stop collecting boxes now?
You said no one's buying them.
You
only know one thing, but not two.
But it's difficult for you.
Leave it.
Nothing in this world is easy.
Is your work easy?
It's hard, right?
I love you,
Dad.
Please
rest in peace.
No, I'm going to pay.
Don't.
Stop it.
Just accept it in situations like this.
Class of 2007, Economics Dept.
Gyeong-eun, where are you?
I told Jeong-su you'll be here soon.
How did you meet your wife?
You weren't asleep?
I thought you were.
What kind of person is she?
What do you mean?
People are all the same.
No, they aren't.
I heard she's chaste,
thoughtful,
and has an upright character.
Did our friends say that?
Yes.
I remember it all
because of what they said next.
What did they say next?
That she was the complete opposite of me.
And that's probably
why you might marry her.
You're right that she's
chaste,
thoughtful and upright.
But I never said she was
the opposite of you.
I never thought that.
I actually thought,
despite the differences,
you two were similar.
You two resemble each other.
How?
Unlike your outward appearance,
you both seem
lonely and sad.
Even when you're near,
you seem far away,
like an island.
I wanted to
protect you the way you were.
So you could live that way.
You
and my wife.
Although it didn't work out that way.
I think
I screwed
everything up.
Sir.
I'm sorry, but can we turn back?
To where you got on?
Yes.
Welcome home.
What are you two doing in my place?
You're creeping me out.
Don't be jealous.
Better watch that mouth if you want to stay.
I brought curry from home.
Did you eat?
Where would I eat?
What are you doing?
Is someone there?
It's nothing.
Excuse me!
Did
something happen to the man living here?
Oh, well.
He passed away two days ago.
Perfect Stand-in Service Gang-jae
Hand out Flyers, Evening Time
Last Unit I don't know what to say.
I just learned about what happened to your father.
I think I've seen him before.
The man who just left.
You must've seen him here.
He lives in the last unit down the hall.
Last Unit I don't know what to say.
You're awake?
Yes.
You didn't sleep?
It's still early.
I also remembered the beer I bought.
Why'd you come out? Go back to bed.
I kept hearing a cell phone alarm.
That
was Father's cell phone alarm.
You know the flyers?
I guess he set an alarm in the evening,
and went to hand them out.
You didn't know, did you?
No.
I haven't had time to visit him lately.
Go back to bed.
I'll turn in after I finish my drink.
What?
You're not even changing your clothes,
looking like you have something to say.
I don't.
Do you have something to say to me?
No.
Just that it must've been hard for you.
Hang in there.
You, too.
What happened to them?
Them?
Oh.
It's over.
I was confused at first.
But...
I think they loved each other.
That still exists?
Beats me.
Get some rest.
Love...
Oh, my. Oh, my.
The landlady was right.
They were sisters.
Who?
The one who looks horrible
and that one who looks conceited.
They look pretty.
Use pretty language, please.
Why?
This is how you're supposed to watch soap operas.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
Oh, my. Oh, my. Like this?
What?
What is it this time?
What do you want to say?
I'm moving out next week.
Huh?
Next week.
I'm moving to a place near here.
Why?
Because it's far?
Because I'm sorry.
I thought hard.
But I couldn't make up my mind
because I wanted to be with you.
But...
Living
together like this
without any commitment
is not right.
You deserve better.
So you're moving out?
Yes. I am.
And then...
Once again...
More slowly...
Huh?
For longer...
I'll see you.
That way,
I won't feel bad
for not treating you right.
After work, let's go on dates
outside.
Okay?
Let's go to movie theaters
and eat at restaurants.
Like a normal couple.
I hope you can
really fall for me,
and stay with me.
I hope I can be that kind of person.
Even if you're sad,
don't try to stop me.
It was so hard for me
to make this decision.
I won't stop you.
I never said I would.
I was going to tell you to move out.
Huh?
It's true.
I was going to say it first,
but you beat me to it.
I did?
I'm sorry.
Don't think you can just slither back in.
I'll do my best.
To commemorate this...
Let's...
What's this?
Let's take a picture.
This is so sudden.
It's been long, right?
Oh, no.
Oh, jeez.
Look here.
My makeup has smudged.
You look pretty.
Jeez.
Seriously.
I can't believe you prepared this.
You're pretty. Okay.
One, two, three.
Are you okay?
Of course. I'm almost all healed.
You don't have a license, right?
What?
A driver's license.
I do.
I'm old enough.
What does age have to do with it?
Min-jeong.
I was a driver in the army.
Oh.
Then you don't have money, right?
Don't feel hurt.
I was just stating the facts.
Okay.
How can we make money?
Well.
You get employed and get a monthly salary.
Then you save up.
That's how.
Can I spend it with you?
When you get a salary,
can I spend it?
Of course.
How much?
I only need a little.
So you can spend all the rest.
That sounds good.
Promise me, then.
In return, I'll let you spend my money.
Really?
Don't act so happy. It's unattractive.
How can I become attractive?
Well.
Only have eyes for me.
Be good only to me.
Spend money only with me.
Say things like that only with me.
We're here.
Queentel Study Room
Can we
go around the block one more time?
Just...
Just once.
For real.
Oh, well. Why not?
Just one more time.
Wait for me.
Come on.
Stick by my side.
I'll carry it.
I have to carry it to stick by your side.
You asleep?
No.
I don't know how this will sound,
but the way Father left
was just like him.
He didn't bother anyone.
He didn't be a burden to anyone.
He was weightless.
Like a butterfly.
Yeah.
I'm envious.
Of what?
Of the fact that you're his daughter.
You're his son-in-law.
I have no right.
Want to know a secret?
It's not something Mother or anyone else knows.
I was going to kill myself.
Did you know?
With people I met on an online suicide club.
You didn't know, did you?
We also collected money. KRW 50,000 each.
Because a lot of stuff was needed.
I couldn't kill myself
and used the money to help a sick child.
But I had gone on a preliminary survey
and met with the club members.
I'm glad.
About what?
That you didn't kill yourself and you're alive.
What do you think?
It's only been a few months.
But it seems like a lifetime ago.
I know what you mean.
Like a previous life.
Right.
It's like a previous life.
A year ago,
you told me
you're seeing your old love.
Around the time I had a miscarriage.
Why did you tell me that then?
I didn't ask you or catch you doing it.
But you came into the study and told me.
Why?
I'm sorry.
Everyone suffered a lot because of me then.
I'm a scum.
No.
That's not it.
That's not what I'm trying to say.
I'm not trying to talk about the past.
I...
I think I like someone.
I like someone.
But
I have no one to tell.
I don't have a friend or anyone.
At that time,
I wondered why you'd tell me that
like a fool.
But now I understand why you did.
You wanted to talk about it so bad.
When you like someone, you want to say it.
That you like them.
What do you want to do?
I just
want to say that I like him.
Did you tell him?
That you like him?
Last Unit I don't know what to say.
I just learned about what happened to your father.
April 29, 3PM. Are you available to act as a friend?
I didn't tell him. And I don't plan to.
You didn't tell her either.
That's why you told me.
Because you can't tell that person.
Because if you do, it'll ruin everything.
It'll become something the two of us can't solve.
Is it really that?
I love you.
I can give you everything.
Yes.
It's true.
I can give you my eyes.
I can give you my heart.
I can give you everything.
Me, too.
We can sacrifice ourselves for each other.
But we've fallen out of love with each other.
What should we do?
I don't know.
Exit
Will you exit the chat room?
If you exit the room, the conversation and ID will be deleted.

Will you delete the contact number?
Unknown
I don't know what to say.
I just learned about what happened to your father.
Can I take your order?
I'll have iced black herbal tea.
Add boba. Use low fat milk.
3.5 pumps of syrup. Half a cup of ice.
Make sure to stir it well.
And a lot of whipped cream on top.
I came here just for that.
And no disposable cup or straw, please.
Iced black herbal tea. Add boba,
low fat milk, 3.5 pumps of syrup,
half a cup of ice and a lot of whipped cream. Stir well.
No disposable products. Am I right?
Yes.
Wait.
I don't want black herbal tea.
I'll change it to oolong tea.
Iced oolong tea. Make it a little warm.
My stomach hurts if I drink something cold.
Please stop.
I'll give you warm ice.
Great. And also cinder toffee.
You're disturbing other customers so stop.
Then should I order all over again?
Just tell me if it's a cold or hot drink.
Make it lukewarm.
I'll have an iced americano.
You pay.
And toast.
Okay.
I'll make it with care.
Sorry.
We'll have that toast, too.
Oh, come on.
It's so good.
It's even better because Min-jeong made it.

A little brighter, please.
That's good.
Good.
- Good. - What do you think?
Well, it's simple. It looks comfortable.

The concept
went a little too far here.
It'd be better if you tone it down a bit.
A little toned down,
and maintain everything else.
it'll look simple.
Yeah.
Bu-jeong.
- Hello. - Hello.
This couch is comfortable, right?
Yes.
The color is pretty, too.
It's good.
You look like you're doing well.
It's good to do what I want
after going independent.
But there's so much to do.
It's a collection of short stories.
The fee is small
but you wanted to translate literary works.
But
I don't know if I should take it
without a competition.
If you start working again,
you'll compete with other writers endlessly.
Think of this
as settling a debt in my heart.
Okay.
Thanks.
Oh!
Did you hear about Ms. A-ran?
What about her?
She's getting a divorce. Finally.
She also has a kid in Canada.
But these days,
that's not a flaw.
So she's seizing this opportunity,
honestly revealing it
and continuing to work.
She hasn't changed.
When I told her I'm quitting,
do you know what she said to me?
What did she say?
"Hey, that's why you're poor."
She said that to me
when I told her I was quitting.
What did you say back?
Oh.
"I hope you become rich."
No way.
It was a trending phrase at that time.
Do you contact her once in a while?
She's probably forgotten someone like me now.
What about mean comments?
I sometimes write them.
Me, too.
