The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra (다섯 번째 흉추)

-Where the hell are you? -How long is she going to take?

Do you know how long we've been standing here, waiting?

How can the person who's moving not come?

-At least tell us the room number. -I'm so sorry.

-The weather is shit. -Why do they keep making us angry?

Isn't my boyfriend at home? He was supposed to meet up with you.

-Fuck your boyfriend. I don't see anyone. -Boyfriend?

He was supposed to meet you there.

-We're going. -Life is full of shitty surprises.

Please wait!

Please wait just a bit.

I could make fifty thousand won in twenty minutes.

-Are you going to pay me? -I'm just right around the corner.

-You don't need to come. -You really aren't afraid of time, eh?

Wait a second! One minute!

-One minute? -Thirty seconds!

Thirty seconds?

-I'm so sorry. -Thirty seconds?

I'm almost there. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry but--

Do I look like a fool to you too?

-No, you're not a fool but-- -Let's go.

She keeps saying she'll come.

What corner? Liar…

Hey.

Did the packing service workers come and go?

Yeah, they came and went.

I'm sorry I slept.

They did a good job.

Sure they did.

It isn't an easy job.

Full moving and packing service really is good.

Sure is, you screwball.

How was your presentation?

I didn't present.

Why not?

It just happened that way.

But you practiced so much.

I arrived late. I'm going to present next time.

Really?

Can you present for me?

Why?

So you can practice. Let me listen just this once.

I don't need to practice.

Really?

Let me listen just this once.

Why?

You know I like to listen to you recite.

I'll grant you a wish.

Anything.

A wish?

The corpse of the finless porpoise found in Goyang city is not the first.

There are dozens of porpoise corpses in the Han River.

While I was diving to study the appearance of finless porpoises in the Han River,

I found a lot more corpses than I had preconceived.

Anyone here want to guess how many corpses I found?

There were much more than I thought.

On the first dive, exactly 456.

But something was off.

There were rings and jewelries on the corpses.

The skulls were long gone,

but there were vertebrae bones, 33 of them.

The cervical, lumbar, and thoracic spine.

They had flesh still stuck to them.

From babies to full grown adults.

There were family portraits and vinyl bags all around them.

These weren't the corpses of finless porpoises.

People were throwing away their secrets into the river.

From there, the secrets flow to the end of the river.

How many secrets must be buried there?

I'm sorry.

My wish.

Don't sleep.

I think they've arrived.

I'll be right back.

I'm not sure if it was the strawberry allergy

or kiwi allergy,

but his face turned half red and half green.

So I called the ambulance and we headed to the hospital.

But on the way, fifteen elderly people

were crossing the street.

One was riding a wheelchair, others were holding hands,

like they were headed to a picnic, looking back, chatting.

They all looked back at us

and started to wave their hands together.

If you leave now, you have to die.

You have to die.

What are you saying? I have to go to work.

You said you'd rather die than leave me.

If you leave, you have to die.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

I understand.

Go.

Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die. Die.

Die.

Die.

Hey, do you think we'll have some time to buy coffee?

Just drink some at the company building.

The coffee at work is too acidic.

Bring your own beans.

I like Yirgacheffe.

Isn't that acidic?

Let's get going. The team director will say something.

Him? He needs to relax.

Yesterday, I had two bowls--

-What? Myeongsik! Taesik! -Somebody stabbed me with a sword!

What the fuck is this?

It's so disgusting.

Taesik!

-Isn't this contagious? -Fungi aren't infectious.

Get up. Hold on to me. What the hell is this?

I have to go soon.

I stepped on a puddle.

Aren't you cold?

Sit on the bed.

I told you I have to go.

Just stay a little bit.

It's really soft.

What's wrong with you?

Your socks are wet. You're going to freeze.

I'm waiting for an answer.

You've been quiet for two hours and you're talking about freezing?

I'm sorry, but…

can't we try just one more time?

One more time.

I'm sorry.

I just thought we were going on a date today.

I'm so confused.

I know we had a rough few months lately,

that there aren't easy answers,

but you wanted me to answer.

We were so happy.

We were so good.

-Stop. -Your feet are wet.

Stop it.

You're cold.

Stop it.

You think it's easy for me?

I really…

I really tried to make things work.

I know-- No, I don't know, no--

I know how hard it must be for you.

We're not teenagers anymore.

It's a miracle we made it this far.

Thank you.

It was beautiful.

You're right.

You're right.

I have so many more good memories.

I…

really, really, really…

loved you.

I have no regrets.

After we break up, can we…

can we still be friends?

Sure.

Friends that don't meet forever.

I'm sorry.

I was just so thirsty I spilt--

Didn't you say we were over?

Didn't you say

we were finished?

Didn't you say…?

Shut up.

I'm on my way.

The customers freaked out.

They threatened to close our business.

It's like they think it's the 19th century.

Those fucking losers don't care about us.

Aren't we supposed to live together in this capitalist world?

I'm almost there.

Just flip it and use the back side.

No lice, no fleas, it's in mint condition.

The fucking fungi is disgusting as fuck,

but besides that, a fine mattress if you ask me.

Just check when I get there.
