The first 200 lines.
To get what I couldn't give you last time.
My brother is already a handful.
I'm already having a hard time bearing with him, so please...
Please stop stirring up my miserable life.
And get lost.
CHAPTER 11 THE UGLY DUCKLING
What about Ms. Park Ok-ran? Where is she now?
What do we do? It looks like she escaped.
Call the police station nearby. Hurry.
-Come with me. -Okay.
GANG-TAE
You obviously didn't get all dressed up
and come here at this late hour just for a cup of tea.
What do you want?
Darn it.
How nice.
The smell of old books.
These flowers are dead.
You should toss out dead things.
Don't touch my stuff.
What brings you here?
I was worried
that you'd be lonely.
Ko Mun-yeong.
Mun-yeong.
Earlier today,
your father tried to kill me.
He called me
a monster.
He said all monsters must be killed.
He also said he should've killed his daughter too that day.
He completely lashed out at me.
You didn't know, did you?
-So what? -It's just too cruel.
He's a father. On his daughter's birthday of all days...
Gosh.
How could he say such a thing?
So I thought I should come by to make you feel better
and wish you a happy birthday.
It's lonely to spend a day like this
all by yourself.
-But why do you care? -Because I'm a fan.
Your mother.
I'm a fan of hers.
This is pretty.
I clearly told you
not to touch my stuff.
We're alike.
I also
hate it when people touch my stuff.
Ko Mun-yeong!
Ko Mun-yeong!
Where...
Ko Mun-yeong.
Moon Gang-tae?
Thank goodness.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Thank goodness.
Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
-That lady, Park Ok-ran-- -Where is she?
Where is she now?
-She left. -When? Where did she go?
When did she leave?
Just now.
Did you
come here to catch that escaped patient?
Not because of me?
Not because you missed me?
So you obviously put your brother before me,
and even that patient is more important to you than I am.
Ko Mun-yeong.
He followed that patient here,
so why the hell did he hug me?
Please.
At least count to three before you do anything impulsive.
-One. -Oh, no.
Is your hand okay?
-Two. -You're bleeding.
-My gosh. -Three.
I'm returning it.
Get out.
Should I have just stabbed her with it and kept her here?
Let's talk.
Why wrap that around my hand? Did I say it hurt?
It's just a small cut on the palm. It doesn't even hurt.
"What we have is an ill-fated relationship.
Please stop stirring up my miserable life. And get lost."
That nonsense you talked about was much more...
It was
much more hurtful.
You said that I'm not an empty can.
Then why are you treating me like one?
I said today is a very important day to me.
I told you that I didn't want to be alone!
When you can't control yourself,
count to three.
One.
Two.
-Three. -Three.
Happy birthday.
I missed you.
Why are you blushing?
I'm... I'm just hot.
It's so hot in here, isn't it?
Your face is all red too.
I'm not feeling well.
You're burning up.
Mr. Moon called.
It sounds like Ms. Park Ok-ran stopped by Ms. Ko's place.
What? Why did she go there?
We'll have to find out.
Let the police know where she was last seen.
Yes, sir. I'll also update you as soon as we check the security footage.
She may come back late at night,
so stay here
and make rounds throughout the night.
-Yes, sir. -Will do.
Is your head okay?
How could I be okay? She hit my head with a stone.
This should be processed as a workplace injury.
All right.
I'll help you file a claim for the benefits
and also consider terminating your employment.
-Wait. -Get home safely, sir.
Get home safely.
Hot. It's hot.
Be careful when touching something hot.
Gosh, it's hot. Be careful. You must be careful.
Hey, Sang-tae.
Hi, Jae-su.
What? Why are you eating so late?
Are you snacking?
I waited for Gang-tae to have dinner with him,
but there's an emergency at the hospital.
He has to catch someone, so he can't come home tonight.
He's been dispatched.
That's why I'm here on his behalf.
That looks good.
-Can I have a bite? -Gosh, no way. This is mine.
One bite will turn into two and three bites.
"He who will steal an egg will steal an ox."
No way. This is all mine.
Oh, right.
I found this out front.
That's Mang-tae.
-Mang-tae? -Yes.
You mean, as in Grandpa Mang-tae from the book?
No, he's not a grandpa. He's Gang-tae's little brother.
Sang-tae, Gang-tae, and Mang-tae.
We're
three brothers.
Goodness.
What the heck?
I can't believe you're calling this ugly fabric doll your little brother.
I'm the one who's been following you around for over ten years.
If you want to say you have two brothers,
include me.
Jae-su between Sang-tae and Gang-tae.
-Include Jae-su. -No way, Jae-su.
You're not our brother.
We don't have the same surname and we're not related.
You're not on our family register, so we're basically strangers.
You're not our family. How dare you.
How dare you...
-Just include me! -Gosh, no. Don't.
Don't do that when I'm eating hot food.
-Just include me, will you? -No, Jae-su--
-No, Mang-tae! It's hot! -Gosh!
Come. I filled the bathtub with ice-cold water.
Ice-cold water? Why?
You need to bring your fever down.
I've seen it in movies. Get undressed and go in the tub.
You want rose petals in the water?
No, it's okay. Just get me a wet towel.
That lady...
Did she escape the hospital?
Can I ask you
what she said to you?
She said she thought I'd be lonely and came to wish me a happy birthday.
She also said she's my mom's fan.
What else?
She said she nearly died at the hospital today.
Why did that happen?
Patients often get into a fight like that.
You don't need to worry about it.
This feels nice.
What feels nice?
I've never
had someone look after me
when I was sick.
Ju-ri!
Heading out to work?
I'm sorry.
I should've apologized to you sooner for the trouble I caused you.
Gosh, we're no strangers.
We're like a family living under the same roof.
Come on. Don't even worry about it.
Here.
-What is this? -Money for a car wash.
