Help me.
Help me.
Please save my grandmother.
- Hey, Ho Yeon! - What?
I told you not to walk around alone.
Who are you, mister?
What? Me?
Come here. Let's go.
I told you not to talk to strangers.
Gosh.
Excuse me.
Hey.
Oh, do you know where Nurse Seo is?
She's very busy.
We'll be really busy starting today.
The head nurse is on vacation.
By the way, I heard Nurse Seo...
used up her vacation days to go to Mokpo.
I know that it was for a good cause,
- but she has no work-life balance. - Wait.
- She's really something! - Wait, Nurse Seo...
Hello.
Oh, there she is.
If the pain continues, please let me know.
Hey.
Let's see. The injection doesn't hurt, right?
Seo Yeon Joo.
I'll check back in a moment.
- Hey, I need to talk to you. - Okay, what's up?
- That room on the fourth floor. - Right, you started yesterday.
I'm so busy right now. Thanks so much for taking care of that.
- No, it's... - Right, I have to go.
No, that room on the fourth floor...
Gosh. Why is she so busy today?
- Darn it! I have to tell her. - Where are you going?
- Where do you think you're going? - Go away.
Come on. Let's go see Grandma.
Sorry.
Their grandmother in Room 102 was admitted when you were in Mokpo.
I see.
But the thing is, I was told...
that their grandma is raising them because their parents died.
So when their grandma dies,
they'll probably be sent to an orphanage, right?
Why? Do they not have any relatives?
I'm not sure.
But these days, people don't even want kids.
Who'd want to raise someone else's children? Two kids at that.
- What? - You brat. You're talking like...
you've been through it all in front of these elders.
Do you think this is right?
Well, I guess time will tell.
My goodness.
I have to say, you can draw so well.
When you're self-taught and can let your hand...
and heart guide you, the drawing looks so much better.
My, it's so good.
I'm not self-taught.
I took art classes.
I paid for them.
Oh, hello.
- Hey, Gyeo Rye. - Yes?
When you're done,
can we go for coffee?
Help me.
What's with that look?
It's nothing. Sure, I'll see you in a bit.
All right. See you.
What did you do?
Did you steal some dried persimmons Mr. Kang had stashed away?
Why dried persimmons?
You could've said macarons or croffles.
Stop hanging out with the ladies here. Go out...
and play with your friends.
You know that I have no friends.
Stop isolating yourself.
You even have a boyfriend.
Go on dates with your boyfriend.
Aren't you Gen MZ? What's with you?
- You're talking like an old man! - I am an old man.
Gosh...
Wake up.
For one last time, I need to check and see...
if you really meant it or not.
I may have to rot in prison for the rest of my life.
I really meant it.
So you really want me...
to kill you and Gyeo Rye?
Yes.
So far, I've managed to get away with the things I did in the past.
But this is different. It'll all be over.
The fact that it's still not over yet...
sounds more surreal to me.
Do you really not want...
to see a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist?
No, I don't want to.
If I saw a psychiatrist and took medications and stuff,
I'd have to live more.
Thanks.
In the past and even now.
To Gyeo Rye, you were always a jerk.
But to me, you were like a big brother from time to time.
I hope...
you live to 100.
You know...
That room at the end of the hallway on the fourth floor.
Right, Room 403.
In that room...
There's a ton of medical equipment in that room.
I had to clean the room recently.
I was curious about that room for no reason.
You don't need to worry about that room anymore.
All right.
Anyway, did you need to talk to me about something important?
You even put out these dried persimmons.
Aren't you leaving tomorrow?
Here.
What's this?
It's a village in the Netherlands called Hogeweyk.
The Netherlands? Hogeweyk...
"Dementia Village?"
That's right.
In that village, 170 staff members take care of the patients all day,
wearing casual clothes instead of uniforms.
And there are 140 volunteers who assist them.
There are twice as many staff members as patients,
and they all live together in the village.
The support staff play roles such as a grocery store clerk, hairstylist,
bus driver, and so on.
There are no price tags on the goods sold at the stores,
so the patients can buy things like bread without having to pay.
They can draw,
dance at a club, and enjoy a wide variety of hobbies,
so they do not feel like they're hospitalized.
The patients are very satisfied with everything there,
which helps slow down the progression of their dementia.
Well, it sounds like a nice place.
But what about it?
It's about Ms. Choi.
I want to send her there.
It's Mr. Hwang's wish.
Her dementia is getting worse by the day.
What are you talking about?
- Ms. Choi has dementia? - Yes.
You couldn't have known unless you had known her for a long time.
Her memories are slowly being erased, little by little.
My gosh. I can't believe this.
This is nuts.
While I'm gone,
find out if Koreans can be admitted to the village too.
Also, find out how much it'd cost to live there...
and how much the flight will be.
First class, of course.
Oh, you're finally going to dig up those gold bars you stashed away?
I should.
It's not like I can take them when I die.
Okay.
Well, don't think about anything.
Put all your worries to rest.
Just focus on your treatment, okay?
Be optimistic.
Keep telling yourself that you can be cured.
Okay, I heard you. I'll be fine, you punk.
I want to leave quietly tomorrow morning.
If you don't see me, just know that I've left.
Don't make a fuss. Just let the elders know.
I told you that I'd take you there.
I want to go alone. I'll feel more comfortable that way, you punk.
Gosh, you're so stubborn.
Fine. Do whatever you want.
- One more thing. - What now?
While I'm gone,
take Yeon Joo out on just three more dates.
I told you not to waste your energy worrying about stupid things.
Why worry about our dates?
What's with you?
My goodness. So you'll take her out on a date, right?
Mr. Kang!
Gosh.
Darn it. Seriously?
My gosh. Why does it feel so empty here today?
Is it because Mr. Kang isn't here?
- What's wrong with this? - Why won't it come out?
Is it stuck? This is...
Hey, what are you doing?
It won't come out.
It won't come out? Move aside.
Let's see. Which one? This one here?
- Yes. - Okay. Watch.
What just happened? It came out, right?
- Here. - Thank you.
You thanked me. Okay, then one more.
Which one? This one?
Here. Coffee.
That's so cool.
Right? I'm so cool.
I'm good. I can't drink coffee.
Really? Okay.
- Come here. - Why don't you start drinking it?
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
