An Old Lady (69세)

IV pole on that side, please lie down when ready.

Uh, yes.

But I can't ...

Oh, I'll give you a hand.

Head this way.

Thank you.

- All by yourself tonight? - Today's my last day so ...

Hold on.

Which side?

Right side, knee.

Right knee. Let me pull up the trousers.

Did you swim long?

Yes?

It was in the chart that you exercise.

Oh, yes. When you're old.

There aren't many options with weak knees.

You'll feel the heat soon.

Okay.

You have very pretty legs.

Maybe it's the swimming?

No one could guess your age from behind.

How, how much longer?

I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

Oh, I was just wondering. Just in case I have to go.

I see.

Nine more minutes.

Sorry you have to work on Sundays because of old people like me.

Work is work.

And you don't look old, at all.

Why do you laugh?

I remember telling the same lie to old people.

It's not a lie.

An Old Lady

Why did you check out by yourself? I could’ve helped you with these.

Or were you trying to catch me swimming without you?

You were!

Well, I almost let you down.

What do you mean?

I almost decided to skip today to go pick you up early.

You've gotten so fast.

Were you looking?

Yes, but I'll catch up soon enough.

OMG.

I can't believe I'm talking with a published poet.

I wonder where the book is.

It's my favorite pot coaster.

So doctor said there's no need for a follow-up?

He did.

I guess they're as good as people say.

I'm going inside, Mr. NAM.

Lookie here.

Can you please stop calling me Mr. NAM?

Would you prefer Mr. Boss?

"Book Sarang"

Good day, sir!

Oh, hello.

Aren't we out of toothpaste?

No, not for me.

Mr. NAM, did you take your medicine?

Ah, I forgot.

What a fashionista.

What?

Your socks.

I hear real fashionistas wear mismatching socks?

A worn-out sock on a washing line.

Sunlight glistens on its teardrop.

From your poem.

Oh.

Are we all set to go?

I didn't know you read my book.

Are you sure you don't want to go to the ER?

Yes.

You didn't even eat much. What could've gone wrong?

I feel better now. Go back to bed.

I made some honey tea.

Come and have a sip.

What happened to your wrist?

A nurse was clumsy with needles.

Ouch.

Remember that time when I made ramyeon for you?

When I was working as your caregiver at the hospital?

If that nurse caught us, she would've had me fired.

And we wouldn't be here.

I would've tracked you down.

Persuaded you to work at my bookstore.

What made you think of that?

Mr. NAM.

I think I should report the nurse to the police.

What? Why?

For being clumsy with needles?

Will you come with me?

What about something to read?

What made you start a bookstore business?

Aren't libraries better for reading? You could afford to.

It was Hyeon-su's mom.

I asked her which she preferred.

Owner of fried chicken diner or a bookstore.

She chose the bookstore.

She knew you well. She knew which talent you lack.

I like the name of the place.

Book Sarang?

That's on previous owner.

Number 358?

Your form, please?

What form?

There are forms over there.

This is where you submit after completing them.

But we waited for so long.

Come straight to me. I'll take it for you.

Thank you.

Sir!

Are you a victim yourself?

I am.

Then you need to fill out a complaint report yourself, okay?

Okay.

Can you get me something warm to drink?

Of course.

What did you have in mind?

Anything warm.

"Type of Crime: ex. Rape"

Hey.

What happened?

It's done.

Already?

So what now?

A detective will be put on the case and give a call.

To you, directly?

Today?

I see.

Your student's wedding this weekend, I think I should pass.

Why?

Because of Hyeon-su?

Never mind him.

I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Let's get you a haircut.

You should look clean and tidy for the event.

Alright.

Can you do it?

You cut my hair when I was your patient.

You're going as a teacher and a wedding officiator.

We should hire a professional.

And you don't remember the name?

Two persons checked out to be on duty that night.

A female student nurse and a physical therapist.

Hmm.

The nurse was at the desk on the ground floor mostly.

This is the physical therapist.

LEE Joong-ho, he was on shift till next day noon.

Ah.

What?

You recognize the name?

This LEE, any criminal record?

No, sir.

What, born in 1984?

How old does that make him?

Twenty-nine this year.

Crazy bastard.

And he's actually a nursing assistant.

Just mostly assigned to a physical therapist.

The head nurse says he's one of the most hospitable staff.

Huh.

Hospitability pushed too far.

Excuse me?

Do you think that's appropriate?

That came out wrong.

And Mr. NAM.

What's your relationship to the complainant?

I see you're not husband and wife.

How is that relevant to the case?

You seem to be assuming the role of her guardian.

- Mr. NAM's been ... - We live together.

I see.

This is it for today.

I'll contact you after I get statements from the staff and Mr. LEE.

Let's head over now. Is he at work?

Yes, he is on duty.

Wait!

Mr. NAM taught here for a long time and knows many people.

Yes, of course.

We won't be making a scene, it's not a murder.

Detective LEE, go ready the car.

Yes, sir.

Uh, do you happen to have an evidence?

Like an underwear with semen?

Yes, I do.

Take your time.

Don't wait for me. I'll take a bus.

I'll be here.

This!

It's him, isn't it?!

You're hurting me.

I'm sorry.

This will get better.

Go on and open the store.

We should open at regular hours, or we'll get complaints.

Promise me you'll go straight home and get some rest.

By the way ...

Is there a family that should know about this?

No.

Hi, there!
