The first 200 lines.
I saw you
getting down on your knees and begging!
You have no house, money, or pride.
How dare you give me such a miserable and humiliating future?
What kind of a life did you live to turn out so pathetically?
Did you just hit me? What for?
How dare you hit me!
I…
I also
hate my life and wish I were dead.
I'm well aware that my life is screwed!
Then die!
Forget it. I doubt you even have the courage to,
so I'll do it for you.
Now that I know my future, what hope do I have in life?
I didn't stop you from leaving
because I thought you'd be better off resenting me instead.
It would hurt less
than you hating yourself
after knowing the truth.
MOM
-Hey, Mom. -I heard you caused trouble at Ha-yeong's.
Yes.
Gosh. Even at that age?
Why don't you just move back to Daejeon?
How can I go back there?
I'll handle your grandma, so head down here.
I can't right now because of my current situation.
What situation?
I have my work here
among other things.
As if a temp job at a supermarket is a big deal.
Don't make it any harder on your sister
and come home to get married.
I don't intend to marry.
Then what? You will grow old a pitiful woman?
Darn it.
VACANT
-City Hall Intersection. -Sure thing.
I have a customer, so I'll call you back.
-Shit. What the hell? -Goodness.
Mother, my gosh. I'm terribly sorry about this.
My mother-in-law has dementia
and I couldn't find anyone to watch her. I'm sorry.
Mother, please go back to sleep.
Why on earth am I living this way?
Is it okay
for me to live like this?
What if
my whole life had stopped since that day?
Are these wrinkles? What are these dark spots?
-Is it seaweed? -Stop it.
They are freckles.
This isn't my house.
It's Ha-yeong's. She lets me live with her.
You can go back to Daejeon or sleep outside. I don't care.
What did I do so wrong in my past life to have you as my sister?
Just leave.
Ma'am. Please.
Just this once. Please forgive me this once.
This can't be my future.
There is no way I let this happen!
Where the hell could she have gone?
My life is already hard enough.
Why does she have to make it worse by appearing out of nowhere?
Is it her?
I'm sure of it, boss.
Don't just stand there and grab her.
No, don't. Please don't kill me!
Help me!
So it wasn't a kidnapping.
You were only trying to stop a suicide attempt.
She kept sighing on the bridge and was about to jump.
Is it true?
It's not.
It's all right. Please don't be scared.
Then why were you at the bridge at this hour?
Well…
Did you get into an argument with your husband?
Of course not. I'm not even married.
Was it your boyfriend then?
I don't have a boyfriend.
Do you have a job?
I was probably fired today.
Where do you live then?
Luxury Village in Gangnam.
That's a pricey apartment.
-It's my sister's. -I see.
Then we'll take you home tonight--
-I can't go home. -Why not?
My sister kicked me out.
Do you see what I mean?
It was pretty obvious.
I had no intention of dying this time around.
But you had in the past?
I wasn't really trying to kill myself.
You could say I got lucky.
A truck came at me, so…
CALL IF YOU FIND SOMEONE IN NEED SUICIDE HOTLINE
Take this too.
-Sorry? -Fate brought us together,
so call me when you're in a pickle.
DEBT COLLECTION
Thank you.
Miss.
Say the Korean word for "suicide" backwards.
"Let's live."
That's right.
They're like two sides of a coin.
If you have the courage to die,
use it to live your life to the fullest.
I wish you good luck.
I lived my life regretting what happened that day
and I was scared of causing another moment I'd regret.
I remember my dad chasing after me.
Okay, I'll just reenact the scene.
I can do this.
Seriously? You almost killed me!
What's wrong? Weren't you going to?
Why would I die?
I only thought that this would take me back.
Then give it a shot. I'll push you.
I'm not sure it'll work, so what if I actually die?
Hold on. I see that you're scared to die.
Hey!
Dying isn't easy, you know.
You may not know this because you're still young,
but dying is just as hard and difficult as living.
What the hell should I do then?
Am I supposed to live this way
in this crazy world watching my crappy life?
I don't intend to take care of you either.
Then send me back to where I came from.
You promised me!
Once I find a way, I'll send you back in a heartbeat
even if you insist on staying.
Have you eaten?
Let's go to the convenience store.
I'll buy you something.
Forget it. I'm getting fried chicken.
You don't have any money.
-Yes, I do. -Wait, that's my credit card.
Give it back. Hey, give it back!
Hey!
Come on in.
So, what will it be?
Tuna with mayonnaise.
Your name. What will you say your name is?
Why do you get annoyed so easily?
Also, I thought about it on our way here.
You're the one who should change your name.
I mean, just think about it.
I'm way prettier and definitely more charming.
"Bahn Ha-ni" fits me better, don't you think?
You can be…
How about "Bahn Seong-mun."
It can be your way of seeking forgiveness for what you did to my life.
What I've been curious about for 20 years has finally become clear to me.
And what would that be?
Why Mom…
kept smacking me 20 years ago.
Stop hitting me!
Fine. Tell everyone that you're Bahn Ha-ni from 20 years ago.
Just don't ask me for help when people drag you away to torture you.
Then what should I do?
For now,
you'll be my niece who studied abroad.
That'll make things easier.
But I can't speak any English.
Say you only lived in Koreatown!
Are you asleep?
Why?
I came up with a name.
What is it?
Remember the movie Dad loves?
Gone with the Wind .
I'm naming myself after the heroine.
-Scarlett? -Yes, that's the one.
So the rest of our family lives in Daejeon?
Yes.
Grandma must be old by now.
Mom and Dad too. Are they doing all right?
Go to sleep.
We need to leave before the workers come tomorrow.
By the way, Dad was really mad then, wasn't he?
-When? -You know.
The day I skipped school to be at that audition.
Dad was so worried that he followed me.
I feel sorry.
Me too.
Are you "Debt No More"?
And you're "Box Office Domination"?
-The merchandise? -Show me the money first.
They're all grade-A merchandise.
I don't joke around when it comes to merchandise.
Shouldn't I get a discount considering the amount I'm buying?
Seriously? I said, no discounts.
You sure are a stickler.
Just enough for a cab ride home.
I'm only selling these because I need the money,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
