You only got one medication prescribed, and...

- This is wonderful. - It is.

- Hello, doctor. - Hello, doctor.

Have you been well?

- Is she your daughter? - Yes, she's my daughter.

She's so pretty.

- Are you here to see your dad? - Yes.

Bye.

- All right. Keep up the good work. - Thank you.

Let's go.

Goodness, look how pretty you are.

We prepared some snacks

for the little lady here.

- Goodness. - This way, please.

- Die! - No!

No!

- Someone call the police! - Hurry!

Call the police!

Call the police!

- Let go! You two! - Run away!

Security!

Hey!

Die!

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Someone call the police.

No!

No...

What are you doing?

Hurry up and call the police!

You bastard!

You crazy bastard!

- Hey, why did you call? - Did you arrive?

I arrived a while ago.

You said to move with your cue.

You're well hidden in a remote place, right?

What?

Of course.

But I'm going in at this hour?

Are you sure this is okay?

Yes. I'll give you a sign when the timing is right.

But it's over 11...

What?

What is it?

Damn it.

What? What's going on?

Hang on.

What's happening?

Damn it. What's going on, Myeong-jun?

Hello? Myeong-jun.

Gosh, this again?

Kim Myeong-jun. What's happening?

Sir, get up.

Hang up for now.

Damn it.

What is it again?

What do you mean?

You suddenly hung up on me.

I wouldn't have hung up without a good reason.

And I had no time to prepare because you called me out of nowhere.

I told you to get ready to move at any second.

I was ready!

That's why I was able to--

What the...

What is it this time?

- Myeong-jun, do you have a death wish? - We're in trouble.

Someone suddenly came out of the alley and collapsed.

What do you mean? Who collapsed?

Calm down and say it again. What did you say?

Hold on a second.

Hey, Kim Myeong-jun.

Kim Myeong-jun!

Hey, it's that kid.

What?

The girl we're going to kidnap.

CHAPTER 1. THE KIDNAPPING

BASED ON THE NOVEL THE DAY OF KIDNAPPING BY JEONG HAE-YEON

Damn it.

INCOMING CALL

- Hey. - How's the kid?

- Is she awake? - Not yet.

I think I should take her to the hospital.

Are you insane?

The hospital? Are you in your right mind?

I'm saying this because I am.

Should I stand around when she might be hurt?

You said you don't see any injuries.

This might be for the best.

What do you mean?

Do you think someone weak-minded like you

would've kidnapped her if she didn't collapse?

This might be for the better.

How can you say that?

She's hurt!

Stop the nonsense and just do as I say.

Don't decide on anything yourself and complicate things.

From now on,

I'm going to make the decisions myself and do things my way.

I know we're doing this for Hee-ae, but this is wrong.

Hey, Kim Myeong-jun!

Gosh, you startled me.

Tell me.

- What? - I said tell me.

About me?

What's the rope for?

Oh, this rope.

It's...

to change the clothesline that snapped.

By the way...

are you okay?

What do you mean?

Are you not injured or anything?

I don't think that's what's important.

What?

What is it?

Why aren't you answering? I said tell me.

Oh, about me?

Well...

- You see, I'm-- - Not you, me.

- What? - I'm talking about myself.

Who am I?

You don't remember anything?

No.

You really don't?

No.

This is unpleasant.

How's your condition?

Why do you keep asking pointless questions?

I said I don't remember.

Tell me.

- About you? - You.

- Me? - Yes, you.

Oh, me.

By the way,

why are you talking casually to an adult?

That's not important right now.

You're right.

It's not.

Damn it.

MY DEAR DAD

Well...

- Dad? - What? Dad?

Oh, yes! I'm your dad!

That's right. It's me, Dad.

What are you laughing about?

Your daughter lost her memory.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Who am I?

What's my name?

Hee-ae.

It's Kim Hee-ae.

Hee-ae.

Try calling me.

Hee-ae.

Doesn't have a ring to it.

So what happened?

Did I hit my head?

Or did I fall down from somewhere? What's wrong with me?

Well...

I lost my memory.

There must be a reason.

It happens sometimes. It comes and goes.

You think I have dementia?

Why would my memories come and go?

Are you really my dad?

- Food. - What?

Aren't you going to give me food?

I mean,

did she really lose her memory or what?

Jeez, whatever.

"Kim Hee-ae."

Hee-ae.

It doesn't sound familiar.

Hee-ae, come eat.

You call this food?

Yes, well...

I forgot to buy rice.

Let's eat this for today.

I'll make you proper food tomorrow.

All right.

This is interesting.

Is it? Here, eat it.

Is it good?

It's not bad.

I see.
