Director Kim, I'm really sorry.

But, today I have an important engagement.

But you've come all this way...

You didn't tell me about this trip.

You know I've never said 'no' to whatever you asked.

This is really tough.

Does it have to be today?

I wouldn't have asked unless I was having a hard time.

And I absolutely have to start writing.

Are you really having a hard time?

Think I want to go on a picnic or something?

No, I know you have to write.

You just stay one night.

I'll stay behind and write the script.

Let's eat some sushi, have fun, and you can come back.

You should've called me yesterday.

Who the hell is this person you're meeting?

Okay, can I ask you a favor then?

Can I bring my girlfriend along?

- Girlfriend? - Yes.

You want to take your girlfriend?

We were supposed to go on a date today.

Sure, fine then.

Then I'll be right back.

I'll go tidy things up a bit, and I need to call her.

Alright, what time then?

- How about two? - Two?

Okay, two then.

Hold on.

Hello?

Director Kim, it's me.

How are you?

Fine, of course.

Did you happen to read the paper this morning?

It said that a film director named Kim died in a car accident.

And so I called just in case.

I felt awful because of that. So you're alright?

That was in the morning paper?

Interesting.

Anyhow, I wonder who it was.

Someone, I guess.

So, is the script almost done?

Uh, well...

Actually, I was just taking off to somewhere quiet to work on it.

To concentrate for a few days.

I see, where to?

There's this town called Shinduri. On the west coast.

But I heard a sandstorm's on its way.

And it's supposed to be nasty.

- Sandstorm? Again? - Yes, a nasty one, too.

So why don't you wait a couple of days and then go?

I have a strange feeling about today.

Okay.

Well, I'll work hard on it.

Producer Jung, everything's fine with you, too?

So, do you still have some money left for expenses?

Ah, yes. A little.

Later perhaps, you can...

Thank you.

Well, take care.

Good luck with your script.

- Thank you. - Bye.

Sit here!

No, the backseat's fine.

- Please, sit here. - No, I'm okay.

Hello.

We're off.

Wow, it's a new car. Really nice.

Did you pay for it?

Of course, who else?

You must be making a lot of money.

But your dad could've paid for it.

Come on, I fend for myself now.

By the way, how did you two meet?

Well, I worked on a student film way back.

I built a set for them.

And she did the music.

Oh, so that's how you met.

The wind blows yonder

My heart runs to that place

Like me, she's an avid fan of yours.

Really?

Have you lost your mind?

Are you nuts?

By the way, I'm Kim Moonsook. Nice to meet you.

So you do music?

Yes, it's nothing really.

Her music is great!

How do you like this music? I brought this CD for you.

What?

Is this her music?

Yes, isn't it nice?

She's mainly a composer.

She made this to use as a demo for her singing debut.

Very nice.

This is a bit mainstream.

I also have some weird stuff. Want to hear it?

No, it's nice. Let's listen to this first.

I really like this one. A lot.

She's a fan of yours. A huge fan.

I see.

Grateful to the days I live

Moonsook.

Yes?

A lot of cars, huh?

Yes.

Look.

Thanks for the bow.

Very funny.

Director Kim, I bought some gum. Some bubble gum, too.

Need anything else? Should I get some potatoes, too?

No, let's go get some sushi. Some delicious sushi.

Yes, let's.

Would you like a piece of gum?

The Best Recreation on the West Coast! Shinduri Beach!

White Birch Pension

Do you have a room?

A small one is 80,000 Won per night. A larger one is 100,000 Won.

That's too much.

It wasn't so expensive before.

The price is the same.

On weekends, it's 120,000 Won.

I've been here before. And it wasn't so expensive then.

How many nights are you staying?

One for starters.

- Just one? - Yeah.

What about you?

That's okay. We'll just stay for one night.

No vacancies on the weekend.

I think he's fooling us. It wasn't so expensive before.

I agree. It's a rip off.

The rooms seem pretty much empty.

See? No one's here.

You're right.

He was trying to make you stay longer.

We'll stay here the night,

and I'll look for some place cheaper.

Let's look for one after we eat.

Sure.

There's a lighthouse.

The sandstorm is not so bad.

How fortunate.

Oh yeah, I enjoyed the music.

- Wasn't it nice? - Yeah.

Did you really like it?

Yes, the melody is soothing.

Nothing exaggerated.

You sung how an average person would.

I liked that amateur feel to it.

I admire your good taste in music.

Changwook, I admire you as well.

How?

It's hard for a married man

to openly bring along his girlfriend like you.

You must really trust me.

You really do trust me.

You're the best, Director Kim.

I told you he's really great.

What trust?

I don't trust people so easily.

By the way, he's not my boyfriend.

Sorry?

Oh, come on.

Come on what? What?

But, he said you were.

Do we have to have sex to be boyfriend and girlfriend?

Whatever.

. And yes, you have to have sex. Right, Director Kim?

This is fun.

We're just friends, you and I.

Do friends kiss?

That's so childish.

Yeah, we kissed once. Big deal.

Damn it. This isn't funny.

No, it's funny. Very funny.

It's a sea star.

It's dead.

Cigarette.

When the tide's out, it'll ebb to that lighthouse.

- Like the Red Sea, right? - Yes.

You have beautiful legs.

Thank you.

I'm a bit too tall, aren't I?

No, you're perfect. You look great.

No, I'm too tall. I wish I could cut them short.

Come on, don't do that.

Director Kim, guess you got to work on your script now.
