Warm and Cozy (맨도롱또똣)

2005 JEJU

Go, Jeong-geun!

Go, Geon-u!

Geon-u!

Geon-u, you're the best! My little brother rocks!

Nice goal!

He can't score. He keeps cheating, so I'm going to take him out.

No drinking. Got that? Not the night before a match.

Mom, I'll get some more wine.

How many goals did they score today because of you?

Mom!

Geon-u's birthday cake arrived. Do you want to go see?

It's okay.

Then I'll go by myself.

Mom?

Mom...

Hey, what's your problem?

Let go!

Why were you walking toward my mom?

Are you Byeong-su's little sister?

You're Baek Geon-u from Gukjae High, right?

See? I was right. That's why you're here.

Then why are you looking for my mom? If you have a problem with me, come to me.

Sure. It may be better to talk to you first.

That's right. Talk to me.

Hey. You're pretty tall.

I'm tall for a girl, too.

Oh, my, your fingers are really long.

So are mine.

Wait. Do you bite your nails?

Me, too.

This is so cool.

It's not cool at all.

Isn't this a common habit?

Is that a perm, or do you have natural curls?

Mine is wavy--

Byeong-su didn't send you, did he?

Who are you? Why are you here?

I heard it was your birthday.

Yes, it's my birthday.

Did you come here because it's my birthday?

To see me?

Well, I'm your...

twin sister.

It's your birthday, right?

It's my birthday, too.

We were born on the same day,

to the same mother.

We're twins.

Where's Geon-u?

Go find him.

I have something to say to all of you.

I've been counting down to this day.

You posted on social media that you were having a birthday party here.

I made up my mind and decided to come here.

Sure. My brother, sister, and I all have different dads,

so having another one pop up isn't all that shocking.

But what? Twins? You and I?

I have proof that I'm not delusional.

Here. I have my student record, report cards,

and medical records. I brought them all.

Your report card?

You get pretty good grades.

I don't think we're twins. I get terrible grades.

If I grew up wealthy like you, I would've goofed around and not studied.

I see. It's because of environmental factors, but we're alike genetically.

The surest piece of evidence is...

this picture.

So, what you're saying is,

my mom is the mom you've never met,

and your dad is the dad I've never met.

One year after this photo was taken, you and I were born as twins,

and they took one each and split up?

Does it sound too far-fetched?

No, it's not that far-fetched.

But twins should be alike in some ways, but you and I are way too different.

Let's do this scientifically. Let's pull out our hairs.

Okay. That's what I wanted anyway.

This should be enough of Mom's hair.

Hey.

Does your mom live here?

Yes, whenever she's in Jeju.

This resort belongs to her first husband.

She's usually in Hawaii for the winter.

Her second husband has coffee farms there.

In Seoul, she stays at a house in Seongbuk that her dad had left her.

That's where I live, too.

That must be your birthday present.

Is it?

Let's see.

It's just another watch.

Hey.

This looks really expensive.

You don't like it at all?

I don't like the color.

You don't like the color?

Why? Am I annoying?

Yes, you're hella annoying.

But I do envy you.

I hate the color pink.

But all my clothes are pink.

The next-door neighbor I get hand-me-downs from only wears pink.

The only luxury I can enjoy

is buying white underwear for myself.

I can't wear hand-me-down underwear after all.

But you get a gift that's obviously expensive,

and you complain about the color, huh?

I wish I could do that.

I don't think I said it like that.

Geon-u, we have to be twins.

I want to try living frivolously and being spoiled for once.

That's why I used all the money I made from working for six months

to buy a plane ticket to come here.

If you spent all the money you made over six months to come here,

I'll agree you're not delusional.

Is that my mom?

It's a bit chilly.

Hey, come here.

You should put on a coat.

Hey, why are we hiding?

It's so stuffy in here.

Much better.

Oh, it's so nice out today.

Where did Geon-u go? Why isn't he at his own birthday party?

What's this picture?

It's you, Mom.

This looks like Jeju. It looks super old.

Mom, this is you, right?

Who's the guy with you?

Who is he?

I don't know him.

You don't? I'm sure it's you. Look closely.

I don't know him. I've never seen him before.

It's you. Look closely. Look.

I have no idea who he is.

Why is this here, anyway?

Mom, this is Geon-u's gift, right?

Let's go.

I'll go first, then.

I have proof that I'm not delusional.

STUDENT RECORD

WILL WORK AFTER GRADUATING DUE TO FINANCIAL TROUBLES

HUI-RA

Where are you? It's time to open presents and cut the cake.

Why aren't you leaving?

I missed my timing to leave.

If you started to cry, I'd hand you a box of tissues

and leave quietly,

but I didn't hear you crying or telling me to leave.

So I'm just standing here awkwardly.

I won't cry.

Geon-u,

sorry for coming on your birthday and saying outrageous things

about us being twins.

I don't think I can face you.

So once you leave,

I'll leave as well and disappear from your life.

You really aren't crying.

I know I may sound like a jerk,

but if you try to comfort me and end up making me cry,

I'm going to find you super annoying.

Fine. I'll go then. Come out whenever you're ready.

Twins...

I'm such an idiot.

Such an idiot.

Hey, Jeong-ju!

Here.

I thought of you as I was cutting the cake, so I saved a slice for you.

Take it. It's your birthday, too.

I looked at your student record.

For someone who's so diligent, you're late often.

I got a watch that I won't wear because I don't like the color.

You take it.

Here. It's your gift.

What the heck? You're so annoying.

Take it anyway. Survival comes first.

Rather than get a job,

you can pay for school with this watch.

It won't pay for it all, but at least one semester.

You clearly don't know me yet,

but I'm not the type of girl who'd refuse something like this.

I won't say I'll pay you back.

And although I may thank you,

I'll think you're super annoying.

Good.

Don't refuse, and don't come to me to pay me back.

Don't say I'm annoying but fall for me secretly.

You're so annoying.

I hate guys like you who are nice to everyone.

What a shame.

I was ready to completely fall head over heels for you.

We aren't twins, and you don't want to be anything more.

I guess this is it, then.

Bye.

Baek Geon-u.

Would you really fall for me?

If I flirted with you, would you really fall for me?

Sorry, but I physically don't have the time to fall for you.

I'm going abroad to study.

Didn't you see that on my social media page?
