Love Affairs in the Afternoon (평일 오후 세시의 연인)

(The characters, locations, and groups presented in this film are fictional.)

I'm praying over and over

that the path we're walking together

right this moment doesn't lead to an end.

Even if we can't go back to what it used to be...

The moment I held this hand,

I finally saw my true self.

Like a flower...

Like a bubble...

Like a doll...

And...

an idiot who's full of happiness.

I didn't know a place like this existed.

I haven't been this far out.

I like this place a lot

so I don't really tell others about it.

So I'm special then?

Yes.

It feels like the air from the forest is waking up every cell in my body.

Right?

It's the growth period right now.

So I think all the organisms in the forest are even more lively.

You can come here every day but see something new each time.

The forest is a big organism too.

It breathes in and out, grows, reproduces, and grows old.

And it's born again.

I come out here every Thursday to make observation notes.

Would you like to join me?

Me?

Every Thursday?

Yes.

Thursday from three to five.

I'm always here during that time.

Always.

Oh...

I'll wait for you.

What is this?

Are you paying me for sex?

Please think of it as contract payment for the painting.

What contract did we sign?

I didn't sign anything with you.

The painting...

I could've just accepted it if you said it was for sex.

Mr. Do.

Why are you so twisted?

I just wanted to help...

That's funny.

I can't believe a woman who's having an affair with another man is calling me twisted.

Does saying that make you feel better?

I ran all the way here because I couldn't do anything from thinking about you.

Have you seen yourself in the mirror?

You're always wearing a mask.

I'm wearing a mask?

Pretending to be rich...

Pretending to be happy...

Pretending to be beautiful...

That's how you met men and enjoyed them.

And you got rid of them with your husband's money.

You're right.

I used to do that.

But what I felt for you was real.

No.

You're still wearing a mask.

Ask your husband how much it costs to sign me if you want to come back.

That will be...

you being real.

What does your husband do?

He's just...

a hard working and kind...

employee.

Oh...

I see.

What about your wife?

She's just...

a smart

and prideful teacher.

Oh...

Your wife is also a teacher.

Yes.

Should we walk a little bit more?

Are we just talking right now...

or are we having an affair?

Isn't it too cruel to label it as an affair when all we've done is hold hands?

But I know...

that I've already had an affair more than thousand times in my head.

Mom, what's wrong? Are you sick?

No, I'm not sick. My hand just slipped.

Did you hurt your hand too?

No, I'm not hurt.

Mom, you should go and rest.

I'll take care of Ah-ram.

It's okay! Go and sit down.

Give me coffee first.

Coffee...

Okay.

Get me more coffee.

Do you not have hands?

You can pour the coffee yourself.

- What? - That's right.

You're mean!

Mom is sick.

Are you sick?

Is it the flu?

You can't get me or the kids sick.

If I had married someone like you, I would've left him a long time ago.

Ah-ram, get up if you're done.

I'll drop you off today since mom is sick.

I come out here every Thursday to make observation notes.

Would you like to join me?

Me?

I'll wait for you.

"I'll wait for you."

Wait for what?

It's nothing.

Is it someone's birthday?

No.

Have a seat.

Won't you be late if you drop me off?

The students are going on a group volunteering

to a special needs facility in the morning.

So I can be a little late.

Well I'm really happy.

I feel like I'm being treated like a real wife.

Jung-woo.

Should we go out for dinner later?

Okay.

I'll call you later then.

Go ahead.

I think Faith is becoming more and more weak.

Should we order the vitamins from last time and give it to him?

It's because of Love.

They were really close.

Yeah...

They were...

So we got Hope but...

Don't call her that.

She's a troublemaker.

Should we go for a drive in the suburbs this weekend with your mother?

And eat some good food?

With my mom? No.

She's going to be nagging the whole time.

But she's working hard because of us. She always makes us food.

Nobody asked her to do that!

Why is she putting herself through that all the time?

Mr. Jin, you up for some morning latte?

I'm going to go.

Already?

Hold on.

These are sandwiches. Have some with your coworkers when you get hungry.

Thanks. We'll enjoy them.

I don't hate my husband anymore.

The moment I started liking another man,

I've done my husband wrong forever.

Have you seen yourself in the mirror?

You're always wearing a mask.

But what I felt for you was real.

No.

You're still wearing a mask.

My goodness...

No wonder I had a bad dream all night.

You look like a boy who was dumped by a girl.

If you're done...

please leave.

My gallery is going to hold an exhibit for Professor Shim.

He was diagnosed with early stage of Alzheimer recently.

It's been a while since he's been able to work.

I want to hold a big exhibit for him before it's too late.

But you know what's sad?

I'm the one who's holding the exhibit for him,

but he's only asking if you're coming and what you've been up to.

Ha-yoon.

Are you all right?

Mom, don't be sick!

I love, love, love, love...

I'll come pick up Ah-ram later after school.

You don't need to worry. You should go see a doctor.

Bye!

Ah-ram...

Ah-Jin...

I'm sorry....

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

Hurry up and pick yourself up

and come to the exhibit for the professor.

He thinks that you're coming.

I left the invitation on the table. Bring it with you.

It's sad when a single dad gets sick.

Don't get sick.

Push the hammock with your right foot,

stretch out your elbow

and bend your right elbow at the bottom and pull.

Next, open your chest up to the ceiling one more time

and keep that pose.

One...

Ji-eun!

She didn't come to yoga class?

I wonder what's wrong...

She's strangely quiet today.

The person you have called cannot come to the phone...

She's not picking up.
