The first 199 lines.
Wait! Stop!
Stop!
It'll cost 150,000 won to replace the screen.
D-Did you say 150,000 won?
It's just the glass that cracked,
so it still works,
but you can't use it like this, can you?
I'm sorry, Sang-ah.
It's not in very good condition.
Retro style is popular right now,
but...
...this is not a model that young people like.
I'll give you 180,000 won for it.
Okay.
Whoa.
You're my other half, Scarface.
Let's do this.
Oh, gosh.
There we go.
Whoa.
Hey.
Whoa.
(Everything You Need to Know About Contests)
What matters is the substance, not the shell.
Gosh, I'm tired.
Let's decide on the theme first.
Theme.
Humanity.
Peace.
Love.
No.
What's more important than the theme...
...is the thing that conveys it.
Yes, characters.
Characters.
Let's see. What kind of characters?
Even if I had six-pack abs,
if I fail to tempt anyone,
I won't even get a chance to show them off.
That's right.
Comics are about the drawings after all.
Darn it.
I haven't been this enthusiastic in a long time
It feels strange...
...to see myself being so enthusiastic.
Love or world peace?
What an artistic...
...and high-level question.
Wait, what?
Shoot.
I guess I'm having free lunch today too.
Don't be a wet blanket.
Be extra careful with that.
It's for the residents' association president.
"Luxurious wine glass set of two"?
Gosh, how elegant.
Isn't she cute?
Cute, my foot.
Geez.
Oh, come on.
I told them not to do this.
Seriously.
My gosh.
Geez, they're working hard.
Oh, my goodness!
Gosh.
You almost scared me to death.
I'm sorry.
Gosh, what am I smelling?
I guess I had too much root vegetables.
- Sorry about that. - Gosh.
This is a confined, public space.
Geez.
You have no manners whatsoever.
Here.
I told you not to let them stick these flyers.
Taegeuk Star?
Don't stick your flyers.
Okay.
You're playing Go during working hours?
You can't slack off like this.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
It's your lunch break.
Also,
what's wrong with the flyer?
I think it looks great.
People who need it can keep it,
and people who don't can throw it away.
Removing flyers isn't the janitor's job.
Geez.
Is it my job then?
You were at home,
but you still had your package...
...delivered to the janitor's office.
That's not what a good resident should do.
Oh, my gosh.
Who are you to butt in?
Me?
A resident of Building 107, just like you.
Unbelievable.
I'll pick this up later.
Okay.
- I brought salad. - I got rice cakes.
- Gosh. - I got assorted fruit.
You always know what we want.
Did something bad happen to him?
He looks even worse than usual.
Geez, he's a jobless single dad.
It couldn't get any worse than that.
I guess he hasn't gotten a job yet.
Who would hire a man like that?
His parents raised him wrong.
My gosh.
He should just stay at home.
Why would he come out here and disgust people?
He'll make the apartment prices fall.
It's so irritating.
What are you doing, mister?
I'm waiting for an inspiration.
Don't you have to go to work?
I work freelance.
What dose that mean?
I'm an artist who doesn't have to go to work.
That sounds cool.
Goodness.
To the janitor's office.
You never studied as a kid.
You stayed up all night reading comic books.
And now, you tried to draw one all night?
How pathetic.
That's not why I was up all night.
I just didn't sleep.
Actually, I couldn't.
Because I didn't know where to begin.
Because I felt so helpless.
You should just stay at home.
Why were you sitting there like that?
Do you want everyone to know...
...that you're jobless?
At the very least,
you should've washed your face...
...and gotten rid of the sleep in your eyes.
Couldn't you put on something...
...better than that?
Geez, when did you wash this?
Huh?
I've been at a loss for days.
I can't believe it.
Is comics hard to make?
Or is it because I'm pathetic?
You're pathetic.
There are tons of young...
...and smart guys out there.
You got tired of your job so easily.
All you do now is space out.
I'm getting a call.
Hello?
What?
What?
My money.
How come...
Hey, what's going on?
Huh?
Mr. Hong...
...ran away last night.
What?
What about my severance pay?
You knew, didn't you?
Knew what?
It was right after you quit...
...that he stopped paying us.
Did you know that he was going to run away?
If I did, I would've gotten my severance pay!
It's just severance pay for you.
We lost all our money for our wedding.
My gosh.
This phone is turned off. Please leave...
We already tried calling him.
The call will be charged after the beep.
Did you call the police?
Of course we did!
Someone had already reported him.
It's not just us.
He bilked an awful lot of people.
That son of...
Darn it!
My goodness.
That's...
But it's not like he killed someone.
The police won't care much about this.
Then we're all doomed.
We should hire someone.
Listen.
I'll ride my bike there.
The pork stew restaurant across the station.
- See you there, okay? - Okay.
Now that Mr. Nam is here, it certainly...
...feels like we're getting somewhere, right?
