Drama Festival - Boy Meets Girl (소년 소녀를 다시 만나다 / Sonyeon Sonyeoreul Dasi Mannada)

Boy Meets Girl

From the boy's shoulder rose steam.

The girl told him to sit in a near whisper.

He said its ok.

She once again told him to sit. He felt compelled to step away.

The flower bouquet in her hands fell apart, but she didn't care so much.

The scent of the boy's skin was magnified by the rain.

Still she did not face him.

Isn't this too erotic?

Shut up.

This story is racy! They're just kids!

What's this 'scent of the skin?'

Pipe down.

Beom-jun, read what it says on the board.

A boy and girl's... erotic love story.

We're reading an innocent love story. Stop twisting things around.

Tell us about your first love. Your real love story!

Yes, please!

Stop messing around.

It's been too long, I don't remember.

Done for the day?

After you clean, check in with the class president.

That's all.

Attention. Salute.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Hyeong-ku, go on ahead. I have a meeting.

Go where?

Jong-won told us to stop by his store.

- He did? - Yeah.

I really don't remember.

But it's gonna rain...

My first love? I can hardly remember my last girlfriend.

I'm thirty-nine now. My youth ended a long time ago.

Pollack stew.

You ate all of this?

There you are.

It's pouring outside.

Man, business is slow for you.

Bad economy, you know. It's killing me.

So what's with the singing?

Fool's getting remarried.

Sorry, Hyeong-ku. You can buy me a cheap wedding gift.

What? Really?

The woman you mentioned last time?

She brings back past memories, makes me feel alive again.

Who is she?

You know, the one who gets free drinks because she looks like his first love.

- Really? - Yup!

That's great. Why are you so apologetic?

You've never been married, but this is his second time.

I like being single.

Hyeong-ku, you've been single too long.

You're mistaking loneliness for satisfaction, no?

- No, I'm not! - No, it's possible.

He leads such an uneventful life that he loses track of the days.

Hey, when did I ever?

What day of the week is it?

Huh?

See! He doesn't even know.

Jeez, your kid would be in middle school if you had married your first love.

When are you gonna get married and have a kid?

Hold on, his kid will graduate elementary school when he's sixty.

That's right. That's crazy.

Hey, I think the bladder burst in your pollack stew.

Tastes fine.

You even know what a burst gall bladder tastes like?

Jong-won, let's marry this guy off together.

Yeah.

Hyeong-ku, choose one of my wife's friends at the wedding.

Forget it!

Uh-huh, sure. I have something for you.

Look at you, all curious.

Tada.

What is that?

Good-bye old man smell, hello virile young man smell.

Pheromones.

I like being single!

Smells good.

What the--? Smells weird.

Away, old man smell! Far, far away!

Smells weird.

Ah, I forgot my car keys.

Good morning.

Eh?

Hey, come over here.

You go to this school?

Uniform?

Kid, what grade, which class?

I'm a transfer student.

What?

Transfer means...

Dang it, so stupid.

Did you curse at me?

No! No!

Don't try to deny it. I heard you say "stupid, dang it!"

I wasn't cursing! I forgot the word for "transfer!"

What's with the English, huh?

Come here! Keep cursing, kid!

Come on, follow me!

I'm the Korean language teacher. Don't use English.

I wasn't cursing! I mean it!

Who did you call "stupid?"

Calling me dumb? You're late, run!

Not another sound!

We're in the main office. Not a word.

Mr. Lim, what time is it?

What are you, still in holiday mode?

No, sir, it's not that. I had a run-in with this troublemaker.

Troublemaker?

I'm a transfer student! Transfer!

I forgot the word for "transfer!"

See what I mean? In English...

Such a... rude thing...

Oh my god!

Hyeong-su, did you commit a crime? Stop hiding.

What's your name?

Korean language teacher or not, you don't know basic English?

I picked up a few words. I heard him say "stupid."

What?

Never mind.

How can you pick a fight with a kid, huh?

Fool.

Why my class, of all classes?

Your mom's got guts.

How could she send you to school without teaching you Korean?

Hurry along!

Time. Pass your papers forward.

Beom-jun, that's a warning.

Ugh, whatever.

Come in.

New transfer student.

He's from the United States, so help him settle in.

Say hello.

I'm Joseph Jeong. I'm from New York.

New York? Say something in English!

No, no English! Like you guys would understand.

Don't ask him to do weird things...

I think new experiences are a great thing.

Nice to meet you.

Jeez.

Go have a seat.

Open your books.

Alas, I have called your name.

Will someone call my gentle and beautiful name?

If so, I will become his rose.

To hold special meaning for another, to become unforgettable...

Teacher...

What is it?

What the--! Joseph, what's wrong!

What's wrong? Where does it hurt?

N...U...D...

NUD? What is that?

Hey, is it contagious?

Nurse.

What's wrong with him?

I'm not sure, he threw up and collapsed.

No, wait, he collapsed first, then threw up.

He mentioned NUD. Should I call 911?

NUD?

What's that? Hold on.

You don't even know?

What am I, a doctor?

Indigestion.

Eh, indigestion?

Since he threw up, let him rest.

Teacher.

You...!

Ugh, it reeks. That annoying brat.

How could he throw up on me?

Already so late?

You okay? Wanna go to the hospital?

I'm fine.

Indigestion, of all things?

Want to stay here longer or go home?

I called my mommy.

Who?

Mommy? Ah, mom.

Joseph! Oh, my baby!

Are you alright?

I'm okay, Mommy.

Oh, Joseph. Poor baby.

You okay?

Hyeong-ku, I can't believe it. How are you?

I've been well. You look like you're doing well.

Married? How old is your kid?

Not yet.

Not yet?

Yeah, still single.

You are?

Me, too.

Huh?

Ten years now.

Oh, I see. Must've been hard on you.

Is everyone from the literary society doing well?

Same old, same old.

Remember Sang-mun? He's the English teacher here.

Oh really? I miss everyone.

You're back in Korea for good?

I had to come for work. I'm not sure how it'll work out.

I see.
