Part 9 Three People
Hello, Ma'am.
Ever since I last saw you,
I've been thinking about the right to be human.
Manager Ahn / A photo has been sent
Not a family member,
a friend,
or a colleague,
but the right to be a human being.
The right to judge the world,
criticize,
be enraged
and despair.
Meeting someone isn't that easy.
We were total strangers a few days ago.
I texted her, but she's not replying.
I'll text you when she calls.
The right that you have and I don't.
I've been thinking about that.
Yes, I received it well. Thank you.
I'll forward it to her.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait. - Hello.
Oh, and
what about the issue with Mr. Seo?
Oh, I'll call you back later.
Hello.
But Ma'am...
What is that world you speak of?
And what is that human being?
Don't mind them.
Let's begin.
I'll move the chair backward.
Let's begin the exam.
Relax.
Does...
...that even really exist?
Is that mine?
No, it's mine.
Should I turn it off?
No, you're doing business.
Don't overreact.
Okay.
Can you pull up my seat?
Go see if they're starting again.
You're going back?
I'm not retiring, so I should go back in.
Can you give me a wet wipe?
Okay.
Just doing what you want
isn't living.
You should do what you dislike well.
That's the real deal.
Why are you just staring at me?
Go see if they're starting or not.
I don't want the staff to say I delayed the shoot.
Okay.
Oh, uh...
Hmm?
That woman.
What woman?
Never mind.
I'll be right back.
Just
When I was kicked out of the trainee dorm,
he let me crash at his place.
He...let you sleep at his place?
Yes.
A lot. He let me in a lot.
Your call cannot be connected...
Why isn't Gang-jae just picking up?
Is Ji-yeon, your pretty ex-wife, okay?
I checked she was okay before I came.
Hey.
Just don't.
Why are you getting irritated?
I'm doing my best.
That's doing your best?
You shelved two boxes in 30 minutes.
If you don't want to help out, don't.
I didn't say I didn't want to help out.
I was on the phone.
Is Gang-jae your girlfriend? Are you two dating?
What's wrong with you?
I almost fell.
You left early morning and were with him all day.
You just got home. And you're calling him again?
If I have business with him, I can call him.
I don't have to wait hours between calls.
You're being weird.
- Forget it. - Huh?
You're so...
I came here straight without even changing.
But you keep getting irritated.
You're getting irritated, too.
You're getting more irritated.
You're really lousy.
You're lousy, too.
You're lousier. I'm leaving.
What are you doing? Where are you going?
You're really leaving?
Of course.
If you leave, who will do all this?
Call Woo-nam, who's sleeping at home.
Be quiet. You're too loud.
Welcome...
Long time no see, Soon-gyu.
Yeah.
It's been a long time.
Has it been a long time?
Yes, it has.
I haven't seen you since I got married.
Right.
Oh, Soon-ju.
- Huh? - Come over here and say hi.
She's a college acquaintance.
Oh.
Hello.
This is my brother.
Oh.
You saw him, but you probably don't remember.
He has a common face.
Oh, you know.
She came over to our house a few times.
With Woo-nam.
Oh.
Woo-nam is in, right?
I don't know.
He isn't
picking up his phone.
The hospital said he's on the night shift.
So I came here.
I want to see him.
Soon-ju
This is no time to sleep, Woo-nam.
She might charge into our home.
Pick up. Now. Jeez.
Woo-nam is in big trouble.
I have a bad memory.
I forget the face of the person I just saw.
So I don't even try to memorize names.
But I can memorize scripts extremely well.
If you grasp the context of the role,
you can memorize the script naturally.
You don't have to make an effort.
That's why
Mr. Seo doesn't read the script while on site.
Come to think of it, that's right.
Don't you get anxious without the script?
I'm so scared when I put the script down.
You should enjoy the filming as it is
and prepare at home.
An artist enjoys the anxiety.
An actor shouldn't be mature.
If you are,
then you become an office worker.
Mr. Seo Jin-seop.
I'm a fan.
Okay.
You should get that.
Sure.
Yes, Ma'am?
You don't have to hurry.
The hole becomes larger as you age.
The photo you see on the screen
is a cross section of the spine of a man in his 30s.
As you can see, there are small holes evenly.
The channels are all the same.
Do you want to see anything? A soap opera?
The sports channel?
Why didn't you pick up your phone?
Are you not going to answer?
Why should I?
Why should I do that?
Where did it go?
Whoa.
Woo-nam is a different person.
Incredible.
I'm going mad.
What are you doing?
Where did that go?
What?
You know.
That thing
we bought on the home shopping channel.
That's no help at all.
You buy almost everything on that channel.
No, I mean
what you bought with your first paycheck.
The tea set used in Buckingham Palace.
Oh.
For when you get married...
What I bought you as a gift?
Where is that?
On top of the fridge.
Why'd you put this here?
Bring it down and wash it.
I'm going to work.
You can't go alone.
Take me with you.
Take you with me where?
I'm going to give them drinks and leave, too.
Soon-gyu, I'm really late for work.
Just to the front door.
If you leave by yourself, you're dead.
Wash it quickly.
I'm really late.
Are you really going to leave after washing this?
Huh?
Yeah.
Look at the bags under my eyes.
E-Commerce Zone
Sir, you know the text earlier?
What text?
From your wife.
Oh.
Hey.
You think it's weird, too, right?
"Let's eat out tonight."
"I'll be late because of a meeting."
"Sorry."
I don't think it's weird, but...
But?
You said your wife doesn't apologize much.
So I keep thinking about it.
Does she really not apologize?
Nope.
Not because she's nasty and mean.
Because she doesn't do anything wrong.
At first,
I think I'm right.
But then I listen to her,
and she turns out to be right.
Oh.
I guess that can happen.
It's true.
I believe you.
So...
Why is she sorry then?
Beats me.
Then go visit her with some snacks.
Where?
At her workplace.
Are you crazy?
Why? You need snacks when you work late.
Her work requires her to use her brain a lot.
You're right.
When she'd work late when we just got married,
I packed a bunch of desserts from our store
and went to her workplace often.
What does she like?
My wife likes
macarons.
Wow.
Macarons when you first got married?
She had an advanced taste in food.
When did you visit her last?
I don't know.
About a year or two ago?
No, I think it's been 3 years.
It's only been 3 years,
but it seems like a lifetime ago.
You won't understand.
The bleeding will stop in a couple of days.
Overall, it looks good.
There's nothing to worry about for now.
Okay.
You missed the last follow-up.
You had a miscarriage last March...
2nd.
It's been a year today.
I think I told you then.
A missed miscarriage on Week 20
isn't common, but it can happen.
It's no one's fault.
But you have to be careful
because it was an advanced maternal age pregnancy
and the baby was in the womb after cardiac arrest
for quite a long time.
That's why there was heavy infection.
In the end,
you had emergency surgery
and you were hospitalized for a long time.
Actually,
to be brutally honest,
you were with a dead baby for over 5 weeks.
In a small room with no one else
but the two of you.
In that case,
there is damage to the body and mind.
If you're experiencing pain anywhere,
don't feel guilty. Tell me.
One by one.
Step by step.
What can I do?
I was passing by the hospital, and thought of Min-su. How is he? He went to heaven recently.
How should I start?
Gu Min-young!
Over here, please.
I'll take a blood sample.
Wait, please.
It's all done.
Here's your credit card. You're done.
Thank you.

I'm downstairs.

Yes?

What brings you here?
It's been a long time.
Yes.
Go on ahead.
Okay.
Goodbye.
What brings you here?
Oh, Bu-jeong...
My wife isn't picking up her phone.
I told her I'll wait downstairs,
but I don't know when she'll be out.
I bought macarons so you could all share,
but you're all leaving.
I guess the meeting is taking very long.
Well, I'll see you next time.
Excuse me!
The thing is...
Huh?
Missed calls Wife Missed calls Wife
I'll wait in the car.
I would've missed you if I were a little late.
We would've missed each other.
Yeah.
You didn't finish work that late.
I wrapped it up.
We weren't getting anywhere so I got frustrated.
Right.
Did you have dinner?
Yes.
Oh, you did?
Just a simple meal.
You look tired.
Why did you come?
Why do you think?
To give you macarons.
They were on sale, so I had to get some.
That's it?
Of course that's it.
Do you know what day it is today?
Yes.
The baby was mine, too, you know.
I wonder if Father had dinner yet.
I haven't had dinner yet.
I bought him a pair of shoes while buying Mom's.
Every spring,
I bought him a pair of shoes.
Last year,
I couldn't because a lot was going on.
Call him. He'll like it.
Dad is pleased to hear from you
rather than me.
Mom, too.
Mom is pleased to hear from you rather than me.

You're right. I'm at an internet café.
Just like I told you in my last episode,
I'm going to live here for a week.
Living at an internet café for a week.
Nowadays, internet cafés have really improved.
The chairs are huge and comfortable.
I think I can lie down and sleep here.
I heard the food here is good, too.
I look forward to trying it.
Okay, then...
Looks delicious.
Wow, you guys.
See the steam?
Looks hot????? I can finish it in two bites
Wow, the smell is amazing.

Your call cannot be connected...
You ever cried after sending your kid away?
Woo-nam I will get back to you soon.
Soon when?
It's been a long time since we went together.
It's been over a year.
Really?
It's been that long?
It's your fault.
Me?
I didn't come with you after your affair.
I was mortified.
How
can you say that?
That's uncalled for.
I'm calling it as it is. What's wrong with that?
Take it.
Okay.
Oh.
She's calling me back.
It's Mom.
I didn't ask.
I'm just telling you.
Should I go in first?
Yes.
Dad, I'm here.
Hi. What about Jeong-su?
He'll be in after taking a call outside.
Father, I'm here.
I'll go inside after I finish this call.
Oh, no, it's okay. Take your time.
Go on inside, Father.
It's cold.
Hello?
Hi, Mom.
I'll ask you something real quick and hang up.
Umm...
Mom?
What's wrong?
Mom!
Stop calling me.
I'm not dead.
I'm working out.
So?
What did you want to ask that you called first?
Did you call
Bu-jeong's workplace recently?
I don't know.
Did I
call her workplace?
Why do you ask?
Seeing you talk slowly,
I guess it really was you.
What are you talking about?
I went to Bu-jeong's workplace today.
Her coworker told me
that an elderly lady called
and asked a bunch of questions.
Why did you go to there?
I just went.
You called because of that?
Yes.
Did you talk to Bu-jeong?
No, not yet.
Mom?
Speak.
You know Father? My father-in-law?
What about him?
Don't ever tell him.
Okay?
To Father,
Bu-jeong is his whole world.

Hello?

Are you crying?
No, I'm not crying.
Mom, you didn't
already tell him, did you?
I didn't, you bastard.
Good. You did well, Mom.
Alright then.
Get some rest.
What's got him acting this way?
Why is he being so sweet and making me feel bad?
Bastard.
Oh, you're home.
I went by the pharmacy.
I was worried because you weren't there.
Is this yours?
Does it belong to you two?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Earlier...
We were cleaning up and broke it.
I'm sorry.
Is this your house?
Is this house yours?
You clean up and throw this away
as if all of this belongs to you.
It was wrong of me to do that.
What am I to you two?
You include me and exclude me as you wish.
Am I yours?
I'm not yours.
I may like you.
And you might have no interest in me.
But I'm mine.
We'll be going now.
- Okay. - Yes, yes.
Stay inside.
Go back inside.
Go on ahead.
You'll catch a cold.
Go ahead.
I'll see you to the elevator, then go inside.
I can't go inside before then.
We can take the elevator now.
- Go inside. - I'll see you go down.
Young man in the last unit down the hall, right?
Yes.
Oh, I was right.
Are you...
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going home.
Your home is there.
You have another home?
No, my mom's...
My parents' house.
Oh, you have parents.
Dad! He might misunderstand you.
Why?
It was a compliment.
I meant it in a good way. Don't get me wrong.
Okay.
We'll be going now, Father.
We'll go safely.
Okay, well.
- Drive safely. - Okay.
I'll be careful with my new shoes.
Don't be careful. Wear them however you like.
I'll buy you another pair.
Okay. Thanks.
Okay then.
Go inside, Father.
Okay.
Get in.
- Bye, Dad. - Okay.
- Good night, Father. - Good night.
Go on.
What can I say?
What words do you need?
I wonder if Father is okay.
About what?
It's just...
He seems different.
Let's talk at home.
Okay.
Akira Manager Seo Jong-hoon
The hell you'll still be experiencing...
I also don't know anything about that
nor can I be of any help.
I think I've seen him before.
The man who just left.
You must've seen him here.
Since he lives in the last unit down the hall.
I guess.
I don't know how I can forgive you.
Oh, right.
I left my employee card in the shoe bag.
The bag you gave Dad?
Yes.
Then should we go back?
I'll come back another time.
If it's important, we can go back up.
It's not that important but...
He won't throw it away, right?
He won't, but I'll give him a call.
It's okay. Let's just go.
Does sadness have a shape?
Why isn't he picking up?
He's not picking up?
No.
Does agony have a size?
Stop the car when you get to the entrance.
Okay.
Want me to come with you?
No. Stay here, just in case.
I'll be right back.
I'll be here.
It's hardly possible that pain can be defined.
No matter how small,
nothing hurts more than one's own pain.
Nothing is more difficult than one's own.
Dad.
What's wrong?
Did you forget your code?
If it gets locked like this,
it works a whole lot later.
I have to wait more than ten minutes.
Still, you shouldn't sit here. It's cold.
It's not cold.
It's spring now.
Nothing is more precious than one's own.
What about now?
Do you remember it?
I put it
in my vest and jacket.
But they're all in the house.
You wrote it on a paper and put it in your pockets?
And also in my shoes.
But I'm wearing slippers right now.
You're a pro.
What about Jeong-su?
Not again.
He left.
I told him to go. I'm going to sleep here tonight.
He can't have his wifey sleep out all the time.
Wifey? That's cheesy.
A wifey is a wife.
Go on home. I'll sleep here tonight. Dad's okay.
Is it your birthday?
The code.
No.
You said it can't be my birthday, so I changed it.
Right.
Then you'll think of it in no time.
We have a lot of time, so think carefully
what the code is.
Let's see.
You remember?
It's your birthday.
You're a genius.
Come on. Let's sit here and talk some more.
It's not good to sit there. It's cold.
You said it's spring.
Was today
another day full of deathly agony?
I spent a day as long as death today.
Oh, hey.
What are you doing? People will complain.
We have to clean because you're coming.
Honey, your son is here.
- Already? - Yeah.
You said you'll come and you did.
Of course I did. Would I not?
You might not.
I didn't get my hopes up.
But you came.
Why are you squatting there?
Come in.
Did you cook something?
He has a keen sense of smell.
He takes after you.
I can't believe you cooked.
What did you cook?
If it's something good, I'll go inside.
If it's not, then I'll leave.
It's just rice.
Rice.
And?
Soup.
And?
Kim...
Kimchi.
Sausage.
It was short notice.
We don't
have anything else.
What's wrong?
Is it not good?
Is he leaving?
He's gone to buy coffee-flavored milk.
How do you know?
Because he's my son.
It was a day when nothing happened
and it felt like tomorrow would not come.
In a dark room where no one came,
I faced the fact that nothing was mine,
and I became lonely.
I don't know if it's right to say this but...
I'm sorry.
Lost
The woman you asked about in the car.
Is it her?
Why? Do you have something?
Who is it? You put a tail on me?
Shutting this down at this point
is good for all of us, isn't it?
Let me go.
It's not a crime to be at the reservoir at night.
I'm not a minor.
Since you're here, run some tables.
I'll give you double the basic wage.
We need someone who can safely take you home.
There's really no one?
So what do you want?
Don't see her from now on.
