Twenty (스물)

We're your average high school friends who swore to a lifetime of friendship.

Even though it wasn't under any special circumstances where our friendship began

it was still special to us in our own way.

Ahem... ahem.

Ahem...

- Did you fondle So Min's chest? - No.

I didn't fondle her chest, but I just stood there and touched it.

- You must be mental. - Is that a question?

You think that was a question, you asshole?

Hey, it's not like we're kids anymore.

What are you guys thinking to fight over a girl like that?

You guys need to be reasonable about this.

- Play rock-paper-scissors for it. - That's a good idea. Let's do it!

Okay, we'll only play one round like real men.

Rock-paper-scissors!

A real man throws out a rock. Rock-paper-scissors.

Let's do it again. Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

- Rock-paper-scissors. - I'll date her first.

Since I won at rock-paper-scissors, and I've even touched her chest.

Come on, it's not like our relationship is going to last forever or anything.

Just stick close by me

and you guys can play for her again whenever I break up with her.

Sound good?

It didn't feel entirely right

the three of us spent most of our time together ever since that moment.

During all of our years together

there were trivial worries over our grades...

- I think I flunked the exam. - I'm just happy that it's over with.

And much bigger worries like Dong Woo's father going bankrupt.

My family is the one in the dumps, so why are you two looking so glum?

We were just playing the part, you idiot.

- Ouch, that's hot. - Hot!

I heard you touched Soo Jung's chest?

Yeah.

Sorry I didn't tell you about it first.

Even though we're breaking up now

as your friend, and fellow classmate, I will always wish you the best.

Fighting.

There was even a time when we didn't realize what a problem it could pose

when a girl would give us an ear splitting slap across the face.

I can't hear anything that you're saying.

You're such a moron.

I never knew that a girl could turn into such a bitch.

But I guess a person of any gender can turn into a bitch.

I'm getting too old for this.

His use of the phrase, "Getting too old for this"

definitely felt weird as I was hearing it

but the phrase also carried some weight as we stood, in the face of our twenties.

Okay, we're standing in the middle of a crossroad.

Between dream and reality.

Up to this point, all the mistakes that we've made in our past

has been excused because we were young, and lacked real-life experience.

However, as we stand here, older and more experienced...

I believe we need to be more responsible in the choices that we make.

No matter which path we choose to take

let's respect and support each other's decisions.

- I'm going to take this path. - I'm going to take this one.

There's something that you guys aren't getting.

This isn't just a dual path

but there are three paths to choose from.

- I'm going to go this way. - Hey, Chi Ho.

- You like women's breasts, don't you? - It's what I live for.

Going down that path will lead you back to your mom's breast, not to other women's.

- Oh, shit. - Yuck.

Okay, a man must go forward. Show me some respect.

- But must we make this decision now? - No kidding. We're still young.

Hey, split the years of your life in half. Where do you think that middle is?

- I'll probably live to be 80 years old. - How can you be sure you'll live to be 80?

My father passed away at age 40, and Mozart died when he was 35.

- Kurt Cobain died when he was 27. 27! - Kurt Cobain committed suicide.

How can you be sure that you won't commit suicide?

So what's your point? You want us to buy life insurance?

If we were to divide our lives into halves

then half will be spent as minors, and other half as adults.

Meaning, the mid point of our lives...

is at 20 years old.

We've already lived half our lives?

- Wow, we've aged fast. - Now that we're at our midpoint...

- We can't just sit around like this. - My point exactly.

Sex.

- Let's have sex. - The three of us?

Ugh, you're such a moron.

- Let's not lose our focus here. - This is a very serious problem.

Don't you guys ever read any foreign news?

On average, most teens in Germany lose their virginity by the age of 15.

They worry about contracting STDs while we worry about doing our homework.

Condoms are given out like candy, and what's the result of all that?

- Mercedes, Audi.. the best in the world. - Wow.

How old are you guys? You guys are 20 years old.

But let's not turn into monsters.

Then the monster that you see in the movie, "The Host"...

- Is it because it didn't have sex? - Yeah.

- That sounds like a sad movie. - That movie made me cry.

- Let's have sex. - Let's do it.

Fine, let's just do it.

My body is just going to rot once I'm dead anyway.

- Let's just do it. - She's so much better when she's sober.

Her problem is not knowing when to stop.

I think I take offense to that.

Hey, Cha Chi Ho.

You said your goal in life is to sleep with 3,000 women before you die.

So why is it that you haven't laid a finger on me yet?

- Are you saving me for last? - Did she actually bring a pillow?

Here, now is your chance.

- Come here, you asshole. - Are you kidding me?

She'll catch a cold if she sleeps on that cold floor.

- Leave her. Let her catch a cold. - Pour me a drink.

Honey?

- Oh my goodness... - Kids these days are so spoiled.

- She is spoiled. - You're a mess, Kid.

Look, it's Cha Chi Ho.

Better be careful before she hurts herself.

Thanks for your concern, but you just worry about yourself.

So, where did I leave off in my story?

I... don't want to become a monster.

Sir, I'm against the idea of prostitution

so I have no idea how, when, or where I'm going to get laid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not think that it's impossible. You're already ready for it.

Just... just... How do I put this...

Just think of it as a simple negotiation.

First...

I will walk you through the negotiation steps for you.

- I'll take you out to the scene. - You're a real true friend.

I'm so nervous.

But where?

I like this music.

- What is it? - I don't know.

No more drinks for me. I can feel myself turning red.

Okay, stop drinking. I'll drink the rest myself.

- But don't you want her to drink? - Don't push it, or it'll seem obvious.

This girl's desire for food is much stronger than her sexual urges.

She'll think that you're not trying to put the moves on her

and she'll start drinking again so that she doesn't lose her drinks to you.

- Never stop analyzing your subject. - You should tackle your studies like that.

Stop being so absurd.

You got it? I'm glad my parents are never home.

The drinks are flowing, and you've got the house to yourself.

Just don't act like a moron, and you've got her in your bed.

- Act like a moron, how? - Like calling the girl's father.

Yes, sir.

We're about to turn off the lights, and get it on.

Yes, your daughter has already agreed to it

and we're just waiting for you to give us the all-clear.

- But you're not going to do that. - Of course not.

Then it's a guaranteed score. Unless...

That's what all women are like.

They go around doing whatever they want, but

they never let their friends do anything.

I don't know what kind of bullshit that is, but it's a threat.

A real live threat.

If you don't stay alert, then you'll lose your chance.

Don't show that you're panicking. Rather, get the girl flustered.

Then... it's time to go in for the kill.

I want to rub my dick all over your ass.

- She's shocked to hear that, right? - That's an understatement.

Because you just don't say that. She's now wondering what your deal is.

It's called, “cognitive dissonance.” She doesn't know what to make of it.

That's when you go in for the kill.

Your male reproductive organs have long finished maturing by this point.

But our nation's education system disregarded that reality

and worked to keep that bit of truth strictly hidden away from us.

They only emphasized the need for academic achievement

and completely stomped out our natural burning desire for the flesh

by enforcing us to live our lives like celibate monks.

The Korean education system can go fuck itself.

This is your true education. Behold, my friends.

The divine Buddha has heard our prayers

and is giving us his blessing for us to join our flesh together as one.

Shall we all join our bodies together?

Here's my own definition of what sex means to me so far.

Something so near, yet so far...

A dream made into reality by the shake of your own hand.

There's no shame in it.

There are only two types of men who does not masturbate.

He's either missing his hands, or missing his dick.

Kyung Jae. Kyung Jae.

In despair over his low test scores, a high school student commits suicide.

It's a tragic story that we hear about every year

but the student of this specific story was well known for his good grades.

- Mom! - Hey!

Mom, there's something wrong with Kyung Jae.

He's keeps beating himself on his thighs while watching some lunatic scream

on his computer screen.

Let Mom sleep, and I'll explain.

- Kyung Jae, are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'll explain.

It's almost like a rite of passage before a man starts college.

It's not a religion, but religious people do it, too.

- Something that most men do... - Were you beating off?

Our twenties started off on a rather insignificant note.

What's the first thing that a man does when he enters a brand new environment?

Finding a pretty girl.

It's not like he'll do anything about it, but it's pathetically true.

It's not like I wasn't hoping for a campus romance like you see in dramas.

- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'm worried you may have dislocated your shoulder.

- No, I'm fine. Really. - No.
