IT STILL SEEMS LIKE MY SON IS ALIVE

-Ms. YANG Mija -Here

This way

What's wrong?

My arm

My right arm feels prickly

Does it hurt here?

No, it doesn't hurt, it just feels prickly

Like...

That thing is passing through

What's it called?

It's been like this lately

It's... like energy

-Electricity? -Right, electricity!

It's like electricity's passing through

I'm forgetting words lately

Yesterday, I couldn't remember,'bleach'

I could only remember, 'Clorox.'

We used to call bleach, 'Clorox' back in the old days

How long have you been like this?

For the past couple of days

No, your forgetfulness When did it start?

When did it start?

Maybe this summer or spring?

How old are you, ma'am?

Sixty five, no, sixty six

Your arm's prickly because the muscles are in knots

Start some light exercising

I'm more concerned that you can't remember words

It could be a bad sign

I recommend you get an overhaul at a big hospital

A big hospital?

Yes, like a big general hospital in Seoul

I'll write a reference for you

I'm at the hospital

My arm feels prickly

It's continues feeling prickly

I kept telling myself to see a doctor and I finally did

Who else would come with me, you idiot?

Your mom's okay

Others my age usually suffer from neuralgia or arthritis

I'm okay

Don't cry, mom...

How could you be so cruel!

How could you...

You can't go way like this!

Where are you! Where did she go!

Oh god!

You cruel wench!

Where is she? Where!

Mom...

-Hello -You're here

You're a little late

I went to the hospital

He called twiceI received two calls, asking why you weren't coming

Dad, the maid's on her way up

This one, this one

Sit still! I told you to sit still!

Stop it!

How will I undress you if you resist like this?

Right, that's it Pull this leg out

That's how you do it

Is it hot? It's okay, isn't it?

Sit still!

Sit still, I say! Stop it!

-Why are you shouting? -What?

What's that?

My hearing... so why...?

Your hearing is fine so why I am shouting?

I'm sorry

I won't shout again

Sir, I'll be leaving

Goodbye

-Done? -Pardon?

-I said, are you done? -Yes, I'm done

-Already? -What do you mean?

It's already been 3 hours

I did the laundry, the cleaning and all my chores

Good

Thank you, sir

Don't...

tell anyone...

I gave it to you

Okay

How generous!

Thank you

Did he yell at you today?

Of course he did

I doesn't matter cause I yelled back at him

Here

-He gave me 10,000Won -He did?

But he told me not to tell anyone

When it's only 10,000Won

My father-in-law is notorious for being stingy

He must really like you. To give you an amount like that

Anyway, do you always look so chic like that?

Do I look chic? I'm not chic at all

Where is it? Not again

What are you looking for?

What's that thing? I can't remember the word

What you put money in

It's this big

A wallet?

That's it, a wallet!

Where's my wallet?

What's this?

I'm so out of it these days

At the hospital I saw something...

A local middle school girl's body was found in the river

And brought to the hospital

They said it was suicide by jumping off the bridge

The poor girl's mom was totally out of her mind...

-I'll be on my way. -See you the day after tomorrow

The deadline's over

What're you drying?

Did your daughter call?

LITERARY CLASS FORTHE PUBLIC YOU CAN ALSO BE A POET!

Are you home, Wook?

Why's the music on so loud?

You'll bring down the house

What's wrong?

Are you feeling sick?

Don't bother

I called you during the day but you weren't answering

I never got your call

How can you say that when I called twice

I'm not lying

It's cause my mobile's junk Buy me a new one

I'm annoyed with my mobile

You just bought it, so why do you need a new one?

-But I had it for 1 and 1/2 yr -No you didn't

I got it during the 1 st semester of my 2nd year

Which only shows how carelessly you've used it

You're sprouting a moustache, but acting like a child

Why'd you call anyway?

I heard a girl in your school killed herself...

by jumping into the river

I wanted to ask you about it

Ask me what?

Who she was, why'd she kill herself that young

I don't know her that well

What's her name?

Why do you need her name?

Aren't you in the same grade?

I don't know everyone in the same grade

Grandma can't afford a new mobile. Ask your mom for one

What? That's not fair!

Hey! Play with a bit more spirit

This is no fun

Just try

The doctor told me to exercise

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Gotta go see my buddies

You shouldn't go out at this hour!

The electricity bill's quite high this month

Wook's always on the computer...

playing music all the time

He even sleeps with the music on

How am I supposed to scold him?

Well what can I say?

He's the master of the house

What?

The Cultural Center

To learn poetry

What? Right

I do have a poet's vein

Right. I do like flowers and say odd things

I'm here for the literary class

Literary class? But it's all closed

I know...

But can't you accept one more person?

I don't know...

I really want to take this class

How should we deal with this?

To write poetry, you must see WELL

The most important thing in life is seeing

SEE See. It's to see

-We live seeing things -Right

It's important to see everything surrounding us well

Now, I've brought something with me

What is it?

-An apple -Yes, it's an apple

I went out of my way to bring it

I'm a well-prepared teacher

Others are not as well-prepared as I am

Now, about this apple
