Cherish & Ruelle

"I promise I will reclaim this house, Auntie Yuna."

Don't move!

Or else I'll shoot!

Now listen...

Everyone, give me all your money and possessions!

Right now!

Quickly!

Hey!

Do it!

Hurry!

I'm sorry.

Nobody move!

You over there!

Stay still!

Give up everything!

Quickly!

You smell like Sunkist oranges.

It's a perfume.

You over there!

Your hand, down there!

Ruelle. Let's go.

- Ru! - I just shot someone.

Come on!

Gosh.

Ruelle!

Are you insane?

Why'd you bring me into this?

You're the one in need of money.

Are you just gonna watch?

- You shot a guy! - Cher.

That was self-defense.

What the heck, Cher? Why'd you throw it away?

No more violence.

This is the shortcut to make money.

I'm just trying to help you.

If you do it this way,

I don't need your help.

From this moment on, we are no longer friends.

Enough.

Cher. Why would you say that?

I was only trying to help. Okay, fine. I'm sorry.

- I was wrong, I... - I can make my own money!

I don't need your help.

Cher! Don't be like that!

Cher!

I'll find a way to make money for...

For you!

A WEEK LATER

Why do you only have bread and orange juice for breakfast?

I'm saving money, Auntie Yuna.

Still intending to buy back our house?

The home belongs to you, Auntie.

Remember what I always tell you?

Home is not the building you live in,

home is where you are cared for.

I know that, Auntie.

But I made a promise to myself.

I'm going to buy that house.

It's the only thing I can do,

for you.

Here it is.

Ta-da!

- Looks nice. - Yeah.

- Let finish it. - Okay.

Okay.

Here you go.

Thank you, miss!

You're welcome, sweetie.

How much is it?

I'll take whatever amount.

Is 20,000 enough?

Thank you.

Let's go.

- Bye! - Bye-bye!

You said you'll be a fashion designer.

So what are you doing here?

Here.

You can have it.

What are you doing here?

Do you remember?

This is where we first met four years ago.

Right? You were sitting there all gloomy...

If I remember correctly,

I told you we're no longer friends.

But you're my only friend.

If so, you shouldn't have asked me to participate in a robbery last week.

Yeah, okay. Sorry about that.

Fine, my bad. I'm sorry.

Okay? Forgive me.

Come on, Cher.

Wait! Don't sit on my drawings! That seat is for my client! Move!

Okay! If you say so.

I'll be your client. Go on. Draw me.

See?

Two hundred thousand!

As if. Do you think you can afford my drawings with that?

Are we haggling now?

No problem.

Here. Take everything.

Let me see how much. 100, 200, 300, 400, 450. There.

- Here, 480,000. - Wait.

Ruelle.

Is this that lady's wallet?

Yeah. What's wrong?

You should return it!

Come on, Cher. You're no fun.

Return it.

- But... - Ru.

Okay, fine.

Okay, Da Vinci.

I'm going to return this. But I'll come back.

Then we chat as you draw, okay?

It's a deal.

Wait, where's my wallet? Did I get pickpocketed?

- Ma'am! - Yes?

Your wallet. You dropped it.

Thank you.

I thought it was stolen.

Of course not, ma'am. It's safe here, no thieves around here...

- Hi, kid. - Hello.

You're so kind, miss.

If you'll excuse me.

- Okay. - Let's go, dear.

Boss! I've successfully executed your order!

Guess what? The lady called me kind.

You're so mean. Have some pity.

Whatever. Stop nagging.

Rather than nagging me, keep your promise.

Hurry up and draw me.

Wait a second.

How should I pose?

Do I put my leg like this?

- Or should I put it down... - Sit normally.

Okay.

Listen. I have an idea.

There's this neglected house, right?

And the owners rarely come home.

I don't think the house has anything left...

Are you afraid of them?

Did they extort money from you?

How dare they! I'm gonna teach them a lesson.

Hey! Ru!

Don't. Don't make a scene.

No, Cher. Your problem is my problem. You're my best friend.

How dare they mess with my best friend?

Hey!

Isn't that right?

We're best friends.

Here.

Here it is, your face.

Who is this?

It looks weird!

You couldn't stay still and kept running your mouth.

Don't blame me.

But it's okay. It's an interesting memento.

Speaking of which, I have a surprise for you.

What now?

Ta-da!

This thing is antique!

It sure is.

It's beautiful.

Come on, get inside. I'll drive you home.

- Come on. - Do you know how to drive?

Never mind that. Get in. Of course I can.

You've got license and registration, right?

Is this stolen?

The owner had abandoned this car a long time ago, so I saved it.

I repaired it too. It was expensive.

Gosh! I don't want this! Let me out!

I don't like this at all! What if we get pulled over?

Sorry, miss. The plane is ready to take off.

Too late!

No! Let me out of here, please!

Are you serious?

Don't you have any other food in the house?

Gosh!

This is my house, my food, so I can have whatever I want.

Guests can't complain.

You don't have to eat it.

Seriously. You're so weird.

I can't believe this.

This is the first time I've heard a human survive solely on oranges.

Not really. I eat bread too.

With strawberry jam.

"Hello. I'm Cherish."

"I enjoy eating oranges a lot."

"In this life, all I can eat is oranges."

"But I also eat bread with strawberry jam sometimes."

Hey, Cherish. Wait.

What?

I...

Can I stay the night here?

No, no, no.

Come on, Cher.

My room is a mess!

I'm too lazy to clean it.

Please? It's so messy that there's no place to sleep.

How did it become so messy?

You know, the one I told you about.

I've been taking a lot of stuff from an abandoned house.
