My Beautiful Girl, Mari (Mari iyagi)

Wherever you are

In what form

You begin today

I don't understand

I hesitate our mysterious meeting

Looks like I'll have to leave my car here again.

A sea gull all the way out here?

What?

Oh, nothing.

Let's go back in.

Ah, I want to drop everything and leave on a trip.

What happened? Did you fall asleep?

Who, him? No way!

No, he's been acting strange all day.

Keeps staring off into space.

Maybe there is a mouse.

Hello?

Hey Nam-woo, do you remember that bicycle guy?

Yeah, the one that delivered Chinese food?

Right, they say he married the owner last year.

I thought they were married already.

He was originally a mechanic,

But he worked there because of her.

Oh, really?

How's your father?

The same.

Says he likes working on the sea.

It lets him forget about his troubles.

He had a hard time last year after his boat was wrecked in a typhoon.

I should help him out... He's been through so much for me.

Hey, isn't the weather great today?

It's cloudy.

I guess I like cloudy weather better.

I've been feeling strange all day, like I'm sitting underwater.

I was absentminded for a while after you called.

I never dreamed you'd come to see me.

We haven't seen each other since my grandma passed away.

Pal, you've always been a cold one.

You should have at least called when you heard about me.

So you're leaving the day after tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll probably be there for about three years.

I applied last year, but it just got approved last week.

I'm going to pick up my studies again while I'm working there

You know how I've always wanted to be a scientist.

You'll do well. You always have, even when we were little.

What about that novel of yours?

How's that going?

I just try to keep writing.

But I don't have much time these days.

Actually, I have something for you.

What is it?

Nothing much, but...

I was packing some things when I found this in a corner.

I forgot all about work and stared at it for a long time.

You know, we don't have much left from when we were kids.

My wife saw it and got this funny look on her face.

Said something about 'first love' and stuff...

I'd forgotten all about it after graduation.

But for some reason I felt like I had to make sure to give it back to you.

Had you forgotten about it?

I guess I was just being silly.

I should know better at this age.

After all these years.

Oh hey, I ran into Soog-y the other day.

She's gotten so pretty.

She's a teacher now, can you imagine?

Hey Nam-woo, the teacher!

Hey! Hey!

Bring it on!

What's the matter?

What is it?

Hey you go. You kicked it!

Hey don't!

Give me the ball.

Give me the ball!

What did you say?

I said give me the ball!

Come get it yourself or forget about it!

Give it back! Or else...

I'll really... let you have it...

Is that so?

Hey are you okay? Let's go.

Hey you, you sissy!

What are you doing?

Oh, nothing. Let's go!

That stupid girl!

Shouldn't even call her a girl!

What kind of girl behaves like that?

Just wait and see, I'll get back at her!

When I think of the past six years, she's been a pain to me...

My teeth grind by themselves!

Fine!

Summer break isn't far off, and this will all be over soon!

Just wait till I get to Seoul!

There'll be tons of girls way prettier and nicer than you!

Wait for me Nam-woo!

Hey, look at this!

Give that to me.

Why?

I'm going to buy it!

There's another one over there!

Why do you want this one?

That one's old.

Jerk! He's just mad that he got beat up by a girl.

What an asshole!

That's right...

Mister, can you wrap this for me please?

What is it?

Oh, nothing. Let's go!

Wait for me!

Eleven! Twelve! Thirteen!

Father!

Oh, you're back.

Hello everybody.

How was school?

I'm going to go.

What? Wait for me!

I'll go ahead by myself.

Ok. See you later!

Father, there is something I want to buy.

You can't do that!

Why not?!

Going home Nam-woo?

Tell your Grandma that I'll bring over some good sashimi fish for her!

Hey kid, your backpack is open!

Come on!

No!

Come on in! We'll make a delicious meal for you.

Not even a hello to your Grandmother? Mom, I'm hungry!

Yo!

What kind of greeting is that? "I'm hungry"?!

Having fun, huh?

If one more customer complains about cat hairs, that cat is out of here for good!

You shouldn't bring in stray cats.

You just get attached for nothing.

Mom!

Eat slowly, I tell you.

You should have bought a snack if you were so hungry.

How was school?

Okay.

I should pay your teacher a visit.

Yo! Let's go.

Nam-woo! What about your homework?

Let him go, he's not even listening.

If he's like that now, imagine what he'll be like once summer break starts.

What was that?

Maybe there is a mouse.

How long was I asleep?

They say people grow 5cm taller on the moon.

Why?

Because of gravity.

Gravity?

On Earth gravity pulls your bones together so you're shorter.

So, like our waists stretches?

I don't want to go to Seoul!

I'm scared.

Then don't go.

How can I? It's all been decided.

You don't mind at all if I go or not, do you?

You don't care whether anyone's with you or not anyway.

Hey, Jun-ho!

Teacher!

Is it alright to play if we're done drawing?

Whose is this?

Jun-ho's.

He even draws stupidly.

Hey look at this!

What is it?

Who drew it?

It's his, isn't it?

Yeah, he's the only one who would draw something this weird!

I'm sure it was around here...

What are you looking for?

There was this...

It was clear and had the shape of a person inside...

I mean, there was a marble like that.

Oh, the marbles are right there.

No, it was different...

Hey you! Stop!

Mom. I'm hungry!

Mom!

Oh, you're home!

Hello Nam-woo!

Aren't you going to say hello?

Yo! Yo!

He's not here!

Then where is he?

How should I know?

Ever see a stray cat tell you where it's going?

Sit down, I'll get you something to eat.

Grandma threw him out, didn't she?

Nam-woo! Nam-woo!

Why didn't you tell him the truth?

That it ran away after it should have been punished...

You're always doing us such favors.

Neither one of us would have known what to do without you.

It's nothing, really.

Have something to eat!

No it's alright. I'll just eat at home.

Bachelors never have food at home.
