Karma (악연)

.

Ah.

Hello, good morning to everyone.

The weather is unbearable.

I swear I'm freezing.

It's definitely gotten colder compared to the last video I shot.

It's so cold.

You see my breath, right? Maybe not.

Ta-da!

Wow. This is so unreal.

Well, it's too cold for this right now.

I'm gonna hustle to prep for my descent and come back.

See you guys in a bit.

All righty, let's start packing.

Okay.

I'm all packed up now.

Let's make our way down together.

Well, Mt. Chowol is widely known for its rough terrain.

That's why not many hikers are here on the trails.

That means it's quiet, which is good for solitude and getting a good night's sleep.

Ah, my insider tip for you would be to have at least one box of soju on hand.

- - Huh?

What's that?

One moment, guys.

Look, everybody. There's a dog here.

Can you see it?

- -

That scared me.

What's that?

What was that dog eating?

Huh?

Is it a body?

Hello?

I'm up on Mt. Chowol now.

There's a body up here.

No. No, it's a dead person!

KARMA

I can't remember the last time I felt this way.

My life has been quite eventful to say the least,

but I've never felt such a great sense of accomplishment before.

I can remember scoffing at a friend of mine

who said men make money to get the women they want.

But now, I believe it.

THE MAN WHO DISPOSED OF THE BODY

Hi, babe. I ran late. Sorry.

You're earlier than I expected. Oh, your hand is cold. Take a seat.

The traffic was so bad and I was already so close,

so I told the taxi driver to just pull over, and I walked.

The traffic can be so bad on Friday. Gosh, it's exhausting.

This place is super famous. I looked it up before our date.

I booked it two months in advance.

I hear the head chef is originally from France.

It's a Michelin-star restaurant.

Oh, wow. It's the hottest spot in the city.

What's first up? What did you order?

I was waiting for you. So we can order what you like.

I thought that by now you know what I like.

No, I wanted to get your opinion. Just to be sure.

Your face turns red when you're flustered.

Oh, really?

- It's cute. So cute. - Oh, come on.

Cute? Really.

- I have to use the ladies' room. - Oh, okay.

Excuse me.

- Sir. - Please hurry, thanks.

Right away.

So? Where to next?

There's a good dessert place in the neighborhood.

I saw it on TV and thought we should go.

Hmm.

What? You don't like dessert?

To be honest,

I was hoping we could do another thing.

What?

Seriously.

Get over here.

I was thinking

that we could go to bed.

It's Friday night. I don't know if they have a room.

Let's go somewhere quiet. Somewhere romantic, with nobody around.

Oh, right. Cool. Sounds good.

Get in.

Watch your head.

No problem.

What do you think?

- Isn't it nice and quiet here? - Mm-hmm.

I'm surprised it's in this secluded area.

- How'd you find out about it? - I've been here before.

Oh really? What for?

Hmm?

Ah.

I was here with some friends on a hiking trip to Mt. Chowol.

We stayed here for the night. I really like to be in nature.

Oh dear. You're so timid.

Ta-da.

It's from France. It was a gift from a friend of mine. It's really good.

I brought a bottle so we could enjoy it together.

If I drink, we'll probably have to stay here for the night.

Well, tomorrow's Saturday, right? Are you working tomorrow?

No. I'm not. It's not that. I just, uh…

Don't be like that. Are you gonna be a downer, or what?

- You wanna be sober when we fool around? - I didn't… No, wait. It's not that.

I'm on this medication.

I took it. It says to wait three hours before--

Maybe just one glass?

- What? When? -

For real?

Okay, I will.

I'm on my way.

Huh?

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. It's urgent.

Now?

Where? It's past midnight.

A close friend of mine's father passed away.

Oh no. Really?

We're all the way out here. It's so annoying.

Your friend's father died. You should be there.

Hold on. I'll look for a designated driver.

It's past midnight. And we're out here in the middle of nowhere.

I shouldn't get behind the wheel. I've been drinking.

I'll get a taxi.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

The rain has stopped for now. Go back to bed.

No, no.

I doubt the cops will be out this late.

I'll drive you to the funeral home. Let's go.

I'M ON MY WAY NOW

Are you texting your friends?

Mm-hmm. It's urgent, so I want to text everyone as soon as possible.

I'm sorry this happened tonight.

You must be tired.

You should've gotten rest, but couldn't because of me.

It's all right, don't worry. It's better to do this before rush hour.

Yeah. I'm sorry I got so angry with you about it.

It's all right.

Your friend's father passed. You're very considerate.

You snapped because you care.

You are so sweet.

By the way, that was really nice.

I haven't come like that for so long.

Really?

I guess those energy boosting supplements really work.

You're cute.

That's not good. Someone looks sleepy.

- I can help you stay awake. - Hmm?

Whoa!

Yu-jeong, careful!

What's wrong? I think this guy down here likes it.

No, nothing's wrong.

I do want to.

It's just, this windy road and the fog, it's dangerous.

It's not as dangerous as dozing off while driving.

Yu-jeong, th… there's a rest stop coming up.

- We can do it there. It's too dangerous-- - I'd rather have fun.

What was that?

W… What did we hit?

A water deer?

- Huh? - It's not a deer.

Well, then what was it?

I… I…

I think we hit a person.

What?
