The first 200 lines.
Two kids playing together then, poof, one gone?
It's a snatch, I'm telling ya.
Shut up! Shut up and find my boy!
Yes, Aram is the one that's missing.
She'll probably come back here sooner or later.
Dabin said his mom says you're dense.
I had your stuff sent over. You'll get it today.
Something wrong with Boram?
I haven't heard from Mirim for days now.
Mirim?
They always take her side.
She's like a sister or daughter to them.
Handsome men, rich men, I compared them to you and I made up my mind.
Marry me.
If you and Jin hadn't come along I'd be with my parents now.
Hang on. The rain is stopping. Then the water will go down.
You can't drive drunk. Keys.
How can I be drunk if I haven't been drinking?
Ah, plums. Plum wine.
Still cold?
Dad.
You're back? Took you long enough. I was coming to find you.
Sorry, Dad. I keep running into this freak.
He's such a freak.
He could have been sober.
You didn't see his face. Beet-read, ear-to-ear, seriously trashed.
Drunk drivers now.
Miss Bossy Boots, yeah baby.
Hey.
Would it kill them to put in a faucet?
Water...wah-terrr...
Mirim!
It's now what you think.
What isn't?
I never met her before. She got the wrong guy.
She was drunk, thought I was her husband.
Should I just tell dad and Hyongi?
No. Persistence, that's the key.
Pee-sistence...
Pick up. Abracadabra, please pick up, abracadabra.
Wha??
No!
Well?
Can we cross?
It's still too dangerous.
Oh, we haven't called home, either. They'll be worried.
Your phone working?
No, not after that dousing. Should have thought of that.
Who knew we'd take a bath?
Sorry.
Why? For forgetting your divining rod?
I should have insisted we leave before dark.
I was wrong. It's my fault.
Martyr. I insisted on staying.
I made us fall in the water. Stop being so whipped.
No, I'm?
What? You're acting weird again.
Did something happen while I was asleep?
Like what?
Wait. Something did.
I'll have to take a beatin'.
From Jin, I mean, c'mon, out all night with you?
I got a beatin' coming.
Listen to you. I thought it was serious.
Huh. Still no sign of them.
They staying over without telling me?
The number you have dialed...
Sinyong, are you okay?
I'm sorry to worry you so much, darling.
The phone being broken didn't help any. Sorry.
I'm fine. Mingi is taking it harder than me.
Mingi called. He got trapped in the storm.
He's on his way.
Oh? Must have been rough.
You haven't called?
Hm? Who?
Mom.
Call to see if she's all right.
You call her every day.
It's different if you do it. She'll be waiting.
You kidding? She wouldn't call to save my life.
Dad...
I'm scared to. If I call first, who knows what will happen.
I'm off.
Already?
Eat first.
You had a lot to drink. Your stomach all right?
Sure.
You need something inside you.
Shall I have the lady next door send some soup over?
Your suit and polka dot tie stink.
Old hag...
Huh?
Oh, nothing.
I'll call her. Have her whip up some fresh hangover soup.
Why would I eat that hag's lousy soup?
The nanhy is coming. Go get Aram ready.
Okay. See you later.
What the??
You hag...
I'm so sorry.
Sorry?
I was cleaning the glass and thought I'd hose down the sidewalk with it.
I look like a sidewalk to you?
Not at all. My eyes work fine.
Then what's the idea? A man comes along?
I didn't spray when you came, you came when I was spraying.
Come again?
Here I am cleaning up. Would it kill you to thank me?
Get out!
My lease is for 3 years. I've got 2 years, 11 months and 14 days left.
Ugh. Ach.
You. Towel.
Is it raining?
Nag-nag-nag, day-in, day-out, just my luck.
I ran into her yesterday, too. Unlucky, that's what I am.
His wife owns the building, who's he kidding?
Old fart, just my luck.
Hang on, I ran into him yesterday. Unlucky, that's what I am.
God, Buddha, gods of heaven and earth, I was wrong.
Water, please, waterrrrr...
Asleep again.
Whew, third years...
Sinyong, we're home. Wake up.
Sinyong, Sinyong. Sinyong.
Mingi.
The accident again?
You were dreaming. Just a dream.
It's okay, Sinyong. You're okay.
What?
When did you wake up?
Just now. What is it?
Do you...
still have dreams?
Dreams? About what?
Nothing. You're tired. Let's get you home.
I was asleep. I could stand to eat.
Okay.
I haven't had nightmares for ages.
I'm glad.
Well? Coming?
I'm hungry, chop-chop.
Mm-mm-mm, yummy.
- Dig in. - Mm-hm.
Just in case no one noticed I'm a clutz.
"Chop-chop-chopsticks or you'll die-die-die."
"One way or another I'll get by-by-by."
You remember?
Sure, you taught it to me. Okay?
Very okay.
You done already?
Appetizers suit me best.
Oh? Like with wine? I can drive.
Nah. Then Jin really would kill me. For drinking and driving.
He scares you, huh?
A lot.
Then this will be our little secret.
Secret?
So to speak. It tastes so good I don't want to get caught, you know?
Not really. I didn't eat much.
Oh, you.
Okay. Our little secret. But you'll have to eat at home.
Count on it.
In you go, bye.
You're leaving?
Mm.
Without saying hello?
I'm not in the mood to get told off.
You know he won't do that.
I'm just beat. I'll call him later.
Bye.
Thanks for everything.
Mm-hm.
I'm stuck in the storage room. Get me out of here.
Hyongi! Mingi! Anyone?
I'm stuck in here! Save me!
Mingi... Anyone... save me...
Mingi...
Seungi.
Water...
And a bathroom...
What were you doing in there?
Ah, well... After I eat.
You can talk while you eat. Have you and Mirim...
Does dad eat lunch at home?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Hyongi?
Regular as clockwork.
How long till lunch?
Thirty minutes or so.
Why?
I can't talk to Dad or Hyongi.
Have you and Mirim??
I've got to bolt. We'll talk later. Sorry.
Hey, wait.
Hey.
Seungi.
Later, I said. If I'm late again I'll get canned.
- What is it now? - What?
- Shall I call Mirim..? - Okay, okay.
