SOPHIE'S WORLD

Alone at home, while looking for something on the internet,

I found a picture taken with Sophie in fall two years ago.

It was the photo of Sophie, Jong-gu and me at the top of Mt. Inwang.

I don't know how this photo had suddenly appeared.

I clicked the picture. It was posted by Sophie on her blog.

I found her diary with pictures for each country she had visited.

The record of staying here in autumn two years ago was there too.

I had completely forgotten about it.

I decided to read one by one as I was curious about what she had wrote.

Jong-gu.

Yes?

Sophie finished her meal.

Okay.

She wants to finish the coffee. You can clean up the rest.

I see.

Then why would you think that like a fool?

I know you really love this place. You were so happy to live here.

The thought of leaving this house because of me...

I wouldn't.

I don't need anything else. I don't mind moving out.

All I need is you, Jong-gu.

Have you heard of a second hand bookstore?

No, I've never heard of it.

- Right? - Yes.

I recalled Sophie asking me about the bookstore.

In fact, it was actually about a guy named Joo-ho.

But we both had no idea that Sophie had returned home.

I thought the day had passed without anyone knowing,

but it seems that Sophie had heard it all.

Jong-gu?

They collapsed.

How come?

I spilled them

while I was organizing.

Su-young, go in. I will handle it.

I told you to leave it.

You shouldn't do anything now. Please come out.

- Su-young, don't… - Just come out.

No, no. I said I will take care of it.

You go on in. I will sort it on my own.

- Let's do it together. - No, I'll do it myself.

Su-young. Please go in.

- Do it together. - I said no!

Why not?

Shit, It's so stupid.

I can't even get this right. I feel so stupid.

I am such an idiot. Damn it.

Why are you swearing?

Because I feel like a loser.

Why. Are you offended by my cursing?

I don't like it. I don't want to hear that.

I told you to let me be.

You go in and do your thing.

I will get better eventually. Please just go inside.

Ok, suit yourself.

Jong-gu.

Were you asleep?

No, I wasn't sleeping.

How's tomorrow at 2? It should be ok for Sophie too.

Earlier you said it's better to ask first.

Since she's on holiday, I think she'll be out.

Can you call them? Can you at least do that?

No, let's ask Sophie when she comes in. We'll decide then.

I already told the people coming to see the house.

What's all this?

You seem to be upset by everything.

Okay.

Do what you want to do.

Su-young.

Su-young.

Yes?

Are you upset?

Sorry?

Why would I be upset?

Something's bothering you.

What are you suggesting?

You don't want people seeing the house tomorrow right?

What about that?

Just asking. Out of curiosity.

You hate that, don't you?

You must resent me, right?

Why would you say that?

You must hate me for that.

No, that's not true. Why would I?

It's obvious. We're leaving because of me.

It's frustrating. Right?

Why would you say it's your fault?

It's on me. We are doing this for my mom.

Same difference.

Why do you think I blame you?

Did I do something wrong?

No, I'm just asking. I wonder what you think.

You are resentful. You must be.

No, not even a bit.

- Then why are you like this? - What did I do?

You seriously don't know?

No, I don't have a clue.

It's natural to give up the house for your mother.

It wasn't our money. We are just giving it back to her.

So why would I blame you for that?

Then why are you like this?

What?

Why are you treating me so bad?

When did I mistreat you?

What did I do?

- Think about just before. - About what?

- Because I said "Are you satisfied"? - Yes.

I already apologized for that.

What else?

Do you want me to spell out everything?

Yes, I want to know everything.

You have to tell me so I can apologize.

In the morning, when I was cleaning up.

I'm not a busboy or a waiter.

Why do you treat me like a servant?

What would Sophie think of me?

You think I treat you like a servant?

- Isn't it true? - No.

Then why did you laugh at me?

Did I laugh?

I didn't understand English and said, "coffee? More coffee?".

Then, you laughed.

I wasn't laughing at you.

You did.

- I never laughed at you! - Yes, you did!

Oh my God!

What are you doing?

Su-young. What are you doing?

Don't know.

Please. Get up.

Get up. We need to talk. Alright?

About what?

Let's talk. We should talk to each other.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I am really sorry. It's my fault.

No that's not it. I am not asking you to apologize.

- Then what is this about? - We should talk. Face to face.

We should talk now!

Talk about what?

You resent me. You resent my mom, right?

No, no, no! I don't!

I am asking only because I'm curious.

I genuinely want to know what you are thinking.

I told you I don't!

No, it's obvious. It's natural to be resentful.

Why wouldn't you? It makes sense, right?

Ok. To be honest, I resented you a little.

See? It's only natural. You resent me.

So what?

What's wrong with that? What more do you expect of me?

I really try. I do.

I agreed to everything that you asked me to do.

Taking out the security deposit and moving out. I did everything.

I try everything to make you feel better. What more should I do?

What more do you want me to do?

Nothing.

Why do you treat me like this?

Every time you're like this, it's so hard on me.

I'm so tired.

Why… why are you so cruel to me?

What else do I have to do?

What more do you want from me?

Su-young. I must have been crazy.

Why are you doing this to me?

I think I had completely lost it.

I don't mind moving, really.

Your mother has to live. That's what's more important.

I am doing my best. You shouldn't treat me like this.

I am really sorry Su-young. I really am.

If you are sorry, you shouldn't treat me like this.

This situation, it's really driving me crazy.

I'm so afraid.

What are you afraid of?

I feel like you are going to desert me.

That's how I feel.

Why would I leave you?

I don't know. I just feel like that.

Sounds insane. I would never do that.

Okay?

We are leaving because of my mom.

It means we have to leave this house.

Don't you remember how we got the house?

If it weren't for your mother, we couldn't have lived here.

Isn't that right?

That's true.

Then why would you think that like a fool?

I know you really love this place. You were so happy to live here.

The thought of leaving this house because of me

made me think you would hate me for that.

I wouldn't.

I don't need anything else. I don't mind moving out.
