Love in the Big City (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Hi, hon.

[LOVE IN THE BIG CITY]

- Hello.

- Nice to meet you.

Hi, I'm Chul Gu. What's your dream?

I want to be a diplomat.

- What the hell!

- Who's that?

Hello.

Cheers! Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Cheers!

You're from Paris? Where did you live?

First in the 15th,

then at a friend's in Belleville.

Belleville! That's nice.

Yes, it was way better than the 15th.

Why are you majoring in French?

Because I like Albert Camus.

What? Camus was Moroccan.

He was Algerian.

I mean he's not a French literary.

Dang!

But he wrote in French.

Hey!

In the army, if you play soccer with a general,

- Let's get a smoke.

- you can't block the ball...

Let's go.

- Let's go.

- Me too!

Me too!

- Hey!

- I gotta pee.

I like Camus too. "The Stranger".

"Maman died today."

"Or yesterday maybe, I don't know."

"I got a telegram from the home:"

"Mother deceased."

dieu is a compound word

with the preposition and Dieu.

In English, it's "to God". It means with God.

Thus, it means though we part now,

let's meet again with God.

In Korean, let's not meet till we die, jerk!

Working hard on your projects?

It's in place of the midterms. Do it well.

Yes?

[FRENCH LIT DUDES' CHAT GROUP]

Isn't she cool?

Such confidence. She's a European all right.

I think she just wants to stand out.

Totally agreed.

Anyway, she's mine.

Is she really dating Olivier?

Don't know.

But I heard a comp sci sucker

does her assignments for her.

- Really?

- Yeah.

She smokes anywhere she wants

and lives so carefree.

Hey, didn't she wear the same clothes yesterday?

Just eat each other, why don't you!

Hello.

Hey. Let's just go for a drink.

I don't drink with girls.

Hey.

Wanna do the team project with me?

What? Think you caught my weakness?

What?

Not interested in being a sucker.

Find someone else.

Animals born albino can have physical defects,

and are often bullied by the herd.

[SOLOMON'S STORY]

Albinos were considered sacred,

but as they were not protected properly...

- Mom.

- they had very low survival rates.

- Got some money?

- Why?

- I gotta go and live in the States.

- Why?

I think it'll be hard to live here.

Then you should've majored in English.

- Then I'll go to France.

- Just go to the army.

Did you hear?

- No way!

- There's a witness.

What? Someone saw him?

I'm serious!

- Bullshit!

- What is it?

- He keeps saying weird stuff.

- It's true.

You really saw him?

I have perfect vision. I saw him!

- You're saying Olivier is g*y?

- What?

I saw him go into a hotel with a guy!

In Itaewon at that!

- Gross!

- Yeah.

- Not a girl with short hair?

- Yeah!

No. He was this tall, skinny, and his face...

What? Keep going.

It was slim with narrow eyes.

Just like him.

Hey!

I took this last night by mistake.

You were so hilarious.

I woke up laughing because of you!

You're so funny!

Laugh will ya?

- It was fun, right?

- Yeah.

Hello.

- Hello.

- See you later.

It's okay, man.

Our last class ended

before we got to Arthur Rimbaud.

As I mentioned, Rimbaud is important

to modern French literature...

A beer, please.

What's wrong?

Why?

Are you mad?

I'm not mad, just embarrassed.

Nice lighter. Where'd you buy it?

It's not mine.

Really? Then give it to me.

I'll give you a double shot of tequila for it.

[NICE SCREENSHOT!]

- They're KJH's boobs.

- Really?

It's her for sure.

How do you know?

From the size and location

of the dot on the chest.

It's totally her.

Thought they'd be grapefruits,

but they're kiwis.

- A.

- B.

They're like tangerines.

75B. They're mangos.

[D F L T B]

[JANG HEUNG SOO HAS LEFT THE CHAT]

- What?

- Who's Jang Heung Soo?

[D F L T B]

Don't f*cking Lie To Boobs?

What does this mean?

Cellphones off. We'll start soon.

- Everyone saw the pic.

- Really?

The boobs must be her.

I'd drop out if I were her.

Maybe she did!

Close your books and clear your desks.

I heard it's you. sl*t.

Quiet!

[KOO JAE HEE]

Quiet!

Look!

No dot.

Full A-cup. f*ck!

Koo Jae Hee's show later became a legend

in the French department

and her nickname changed

from KJH to crazy b*tch.

Let's go for drinks.

[Damn f*ck' Losers Talking Bullshit]

Here.

Awesome!

Born in Daegu, Jae Hee spent

her high school years in Paris.

When she got drunk, she sang French songs.

She was an overachiever

who'd even sell her scooter for more drinks.

And was diligent enough to check

the sanitation of club bathrooms daily.

Hey. Where'd you learn to act so cold and cranky?

What?

Don't you remember?

"What? Think you caught my weakness?"

When did I say that?

Jang Heung Soo.

How can being yourself be your weakness?

Let's toast.

We bonded with our natural outsider tendencies

and nightlife instincts.

With nothing but our youth and stamina,

we spent like crazy and didn't calculate.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Crazy b*tch meets g*y friend.

And so began our wild life together.

How much is rent here?

Don't know. It's a deposit lease.

Why?

Just wondering.

Let's eat.

I don't think I can eat.

I should quit drinking.

Me too. I feel like throwing up.

I'm never drinking again. If I do, I'm not human.

I'm not human.

Hurry up! Come on!

Like in the movies, is it true Paris people

really don't care if you're g*y?

There are dimwits everywhere.

It's just less dense there.

It's way too dense here.

Then you went alone and lived

in someone else's house?

Your parents must've worried a lot.

My parents never came once while I was there.

Not once in four years?

They don't really care about me.

They're too busy on their high horses.

Dang.

Why? Feel sorry for me?

No, I'm f*ck' jealous.

I wish Mom would stop caring

and just give me deposit money.

Jeez.

Hey! The deal was I move out and earn my own keep.

You get an allowance.

[HOW ARE YOU? I MISS YOU.]

The DJ?

"How are you? I miss you."

Whatever!

Say you met a big dude.

How can I? He still loves me and is in pain.

Love? Yeah, right!

"Babe, lend me some money."

Crazy! Stop! Give it to me!

"How much?"

"A grand."

Why isn't he reading it?

Cheap b*stard.

Here's your coffee.

Thank you.

I'll catch it. Throw it!

Ow!

Look where you're throwing!

Oh, I'm so sorry. I passed but my friend missed.

What the hell was...

Let me buy you another cup of coffee.

Why do you like that nerd?

He's not a nerd. He's the head

of the basketball club.

Just sleep with him and move on.

Dating is too much work.

There's nothing more fun than dating.

Dating is like red-colored clothes.

You only wear it a few times,

but others think you wear it all the time.

It's stupid.

They count all the men you meet

and talk sh*t about you,

when they don't know

you're a soft romantic at heart.

Who cares?

You know the real me.

I don't care what others think.

I'm going to try everything I can.

I don't want to regret not doing things later.

This makes you barf?

No, no.

I feel sick from lunch.

Why you...

Aren't you buying a shirt? Try one on.

Everybody all right?

All right!

Alright, find your match!

First time at a drink and meet?

Pardon?

Is it your first time here?

No.

I don't feel well. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hi, cutie!

How about the loser

escorts the winner to heaven tonight?

Are you okay?

Oh, no! I'm so sorry.

It's okay. I was going to throw 'em out anyway.

Gucci shoes?

Why'd you hold my hand without consent?

I'm sorry. I got excited.

I'm expressive with things I like.

Forget it. I'm sensitive to stuff like that.

[HEUNG SOO: CALL ME]

Jeez.

[KOO JAE HEE]

Hi.

Know what he said after walking me home tonight?

Lend him some money?

He asked if we could hold hands. Cute, huh?

He's so pure and innocent.

Guess that means you two didn't go too far.

He's so sweet.

He smells like soap and I almost threw up

because I got turned on.

- I threw up for real.

- Why?

That's enough, Sis. You sound like Mom.

Is someone with you?

Right.

I'm on my way.

My sister is mad at me. I'd better go.

What's your name?

Ah, my name is Kwon Su h*.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Where did you park your car?

I'll repay you for the shoes.

- It's okay. Don't worry.

- No.

I'll repay you for sure.

I can touch my elbow with my tongue.

Oh...

Someone was right outside that window.

One of my panties is missing too.

This is the third floor. You're crazy.

No, I'm not.

You said you went drinking. Why take a shower?

I threw up!

- I should quit drinking.

- Yeah, right.

Dang.

That's not it.

Something smells sweet.

Give me some details.

Is he cute? How old is he?

Don't know. I'm not seeing him again.

Why? Did it suck?

It was great.

Really?

Then why not date him?

It totally hit me.

He's the type to jump into love.

I can't commit.

Why is that a problem?

Sleep over.

It's okay. I'll go home.

What are you, Cinderella?

Our first class starts soon.

I won't bite.

This is a stone bed.

Oh, no! Are you okay?

No. I think I have a concussion.

You look like an angel.

Puppy!

Sweetheart, where are you?

It's gotta be a concussion.

- I'm hearing things.

- I'm at my home!

- I hear it too.

- Puppy!

Why didn't you take your meds?

Puppy!

Sweetheart!

Mommy?

- You said she went on a trip.

- She did. Why is she here?

What do we do?

I'll just introduce myself.

No!

Where are you?

- Hurry!

- Wait!

Go!

Mommy!

Oh, my goodness! What happened?

I was just stretching.

I had no time to clean.

I was going to clean before you came.

Why are you here?

The hospital paged your dad.

Mommy's so sad.

Don't worry.

Mommy will clean. You go and study.

It's okay!

Wait.

I'll do it. Mommy must be tired.

So sweet!

So sweet, my son!

Grab my hands.

Stand up.

Go take your cold medication. You forgot.

I'll clean this place perfectly!

Go! Go! Go!

What a pigsty.

Why is the housekeeper off today!

What's stuck?

How embarrassing!

So you borrowed his mom's dress

and came home?

You should've seen the look on their faces.

They stared like I was a r*pist.

If his mommy and I were drowning,

he wouldn't even look at me.

b*stard.

Cool down and eat this.

It's too cold! Don't your teeth ache?

So cold it'll clear your head. Right?

[GUCCI]

How are you? Are you free on the weekend?

Why did you come here instead of going home?

You said you're scared of the perv.

- And class starts early tomorrow.

- Oh, my puppy!

I swear my underwear is missing.

I can't find it anywhere.

Maybe the vacuum ate it with your skirt.

Think it's funny?

Look carefully in the balcony.

It's probably there somewhere.

I already looked!

Did the wind blow it away?

Found it?

What are you doing?

Is he dead?

- Heung Soo!

- What?

He keeps saying something else.

Please find the cat!

Officer, you believe he climbed up there

to save a cat?

There are no surveillance cams. What can we do?

Go search his house! My panty will be there!

Wonderbra.

Is it a panty or a bra?

No, my panty's brand is a Wonderbra!

Jae Hee, calm down.

Can't believe it was for real.

Are you okay?

Of course. If that perv comes again,

I'll rip his d*ck off!

That's crazy.

If you ever bump into him,

kick him in the ba*ls and run!

Run straight to that police station.

And call me on the way. Got it?

Damn crazy b*stards.

That b*stard must live around here.

Soon after, I moved in with Jae Hee

and we agreed to split the bills.

[ROOMMATE RULES]

Unpack.

It's so cold!

Heung Soo!

What is it?

It's nothing!

- Watching porn?

- Stop it!

Let's watch it together!

Excuse me.

If losers came on strong, I acted like

Jae Hee's roommate, "Ji-eun".

[JI EUN / HEUNG JA]

And Jae Hee became my older sister, "Heung-ja".

And so we began sensibly living together.

[2013 SHORT STORY CONTEST ENTRY:

"WITHIN THE LIMITS"]

Hey!

What's that?

My report.

I'm taking TOEIC classes. Let's study together.

I can barely afford to pay the bills.

Then skip paying this month.

I got paid for the translating gig.

I can't do that.

Even between friends, a deal is a deal.

Why can't you call him your boyfriend?

Dating secretly is so sexy.

Listen.

There's nothing worse than a guy

not giving you his name or time,

especially in dating.

Aren't you worried?

Heung Soo, I don't worry and calculate things.

I just date.

Three minutes till class starts. Let's run!

That's your class, not mine!

[LITERARY CONTEST ENTRY: NOVEL]

It's on sale at two for one.

Hi.

Do you want to come to our school festival?

Festival?

Hey! Take a look at this.

Please come.

What? Who was that?

Spill it.

He's just a customer.

What's up this time?

Look at this.

He doesn't take my calls,

but clicked "like" on her post.

Isn't that weird?

k*ll the as*h*le.

What are you sorry for?

I didn't know she was your sister.

You look so different.

Hey!

You don't know why I'm mad, do you?

You don't trust me.

That hurts me the most.

Don't you get it?

You're way prettier.

What are you doing?

Jang Heung Soo, guess what?

I think I'm in love.

Next patient, please!

It's just the dopamine messing with you.

How do you know what's love and what isn't?

What do you base it on?

Honestly, I don't know how much

you have to like someone to be in love.

But...

I miss him.

I think missing someone is more real than love.

Love is too abstract and hard to define,

but missing someone is obvious.

I miss him.

All the time.

Even professors and senior grads are coming.

Everyone is so nervous.

If you're busy, want me to come and help?

No, I have lots of help.

I don't want to trouble you.

Fine. Call me when you're done.

Okay.

[CHAE SUN WOO]

[CLUB FEST]

It's a guitar club. It'll be fun.

Good, huh? Like the rice wine?

Sun Woo?

You have lots of help,

but not enough snacks, right?

Who's that?

Ah...

You must be Sun Woo's older sister.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

[FOR THE RIGHT TO LOVE]

[LGBTQ+ RIGHTS CLUB]

You said she was your sister.

Hey! When did I say that?

Sorry. This is too embarrassing.

I'll wait in the car. Settle with her.

- Yeo Jin, wait.

- Let go!

I was just nice to her. She must be confused.

Please! Listen to me!

f*ck!

Look! Weren't we just enjoying it?

- What?

- What the f*ck!

You acted all cool and easy!

Look.

Would you date a girl like you?

A girl like me?

What kind of girl am I?

Tell it to me straight.

What kind of girl am I?

You flashed your breasts in class

in front of everyone.

You're a club rat

who is famous at school

for changing boyfriends all the time.

What crazy b*stard would date

a sl*t like you seriously?

f*ck!

What the hell!

- Damn it!

- Are you okay?

Hello.

Itaewon? Suddenly?

I feel like sh*t.

Fought with your boyfriend?

Just come. I'm crashing Itaewon tonight.

Drink slowly. I'll be there after I meet someone.

Just come to Itaewon no matter what!

I'll drink till you come.

- Hurry up.

- What the hell is all this sh*t!

I'll be there soon.

Do it where no one is around,

not at school like this!

What are you doing? You have no right.

What right?

f*ck' b*stards! Think only you have rights?

What about our rights

who have to f*ck' see this?

There's no right for hatred.

Assholes have no brains.

Son of a b*tch! What did you call me?

You a*s f*ck' b*stards!

- Let's talk.

- Who the f*ck are you?

Get lost, you f*ck' f*gg*t!

You b*stards!

[SISTER HEUNG JA]

He said he loved me!

He said I'm all he's got.

f*ck! Why'd he even say that?

I trusted him!

Hey!

Why aren't you answering?

- Hey!

- Excuse me.

Are you with someone?

He's on his way.

To him, I'm top priority.

What?

I'm top priority to him. He'll come.

He'll be here.

Why did you lie?

You said it was a guitar club.

So you'd come.

What you think is none of my business.

I don't wanna be called names,

so leave me out.

Jeez.

You resemble that actor

with a sleek part in his hair.

From the movie, "Happy Together".

The handsome one with glaring eyes.

Leslie Cheung?

No, Tony Leung.

Get new glasses and a CAT scan.

You're crazy.

Yeah, I think I am.

He's still not here.

Aren't you his top priority?

Hey!

Can't you knock?

[DON'T FORGET TO TREAT IT]

Why didn't you take out the food waste?

I'll throw it out tomorrow.

It stinks!

Why are you yelling?

It was your turn, but you didn't throw it out.

Why didn't you keep your promise!

I said, I'll throw it out tomorrow!

Clean your hair in the bathroom!

I thought it was a damn rat!

And stop using my razor to shave your legs!

There's hair all over! It's gross!

What about you? You used my BB cream!

You drank my yogurt for constipation!

Why did you drink 'em all! You cheap b*stard!

Cheap?

You constipated twerp!

What?

Ow!

Damn it! Let go!

Let go or else!

Or else what!

Why you!

Jerk! Is love more important to you

than friendship?

What the f*ck do you mean?

You promised you'd come! But you didn't come!

I waited for you all night!

Think I'm a sucker who has to come

whenever you fight with a guy?

I had my reasons for not going!

Damn it! Why is everyone taking it out on me!

Damn it.

Did something happen to you?

sh*t. What as*h*le did this to you?

Who the f*ck hurt you?

In grade 9, I had a crush on an older guy.

I wrote a story for the first time to give to him.

Were you writing stories all this time?

If I didn't write, I thought I'd go crazy.

Our names were in the story.

There's a part where we kiss outside my house.

My mom read that.

And?

She didn't say anything, as if nothing happened.

Then the next day, she started

going to church diligently.

It drove me nuts whenever she came at dawn

and prayed for me.

But if she didn't do that,

I thought she'd go crazy.

So I stayed still.

Did you want to die?

No.

I just didn't want to live.

Jeez.

In middle school, we had to draw

a milk carton for art class.

Only one out of thirty students

drew a squashed milk carton.

The teacher complimented the student,

that it was the first time

anyone drew a crushed carton.

Cool teacher.

Yeah, he was cool.

He hung the drawing at the back

and complimented it a lot.

The kid who drew that must've become an artist.

No, an outcast.

They always filled her locker with rotten milk.

She eventually dropped out.

That's life.

People feel better when they think

those who are different are inferior.

They don't know that's an inferiority complex.

f*ck' stupid.

Right. f*ck 'em.

What is this?

What are you doing there?

Hey!

Wake up.

Come on. Wake up.

Hey!

What the hell is this?

Why do we have tattoos?

You don't remember last night?

- Heung Soo!

- Hey!

You're my brother, you know?

No matter what, I'm on your side. Got it?

Okay, brother!

If you do it, I'll do it!

Let's do it!

Babe! Say hi to my buddy.

He's my best friend in the whole world!

- Hello.

- My bestie!

But you avoided my calls.

Don't hurt him, okay?

He's a crybaby.

- Stay still!

- Wait!

Don't move! Hang in there!

f*ck!

You're Koo Jae Hee, so JH works,

but what about me?

I'm JHS. I gotta go back for the "S"!

You can't.

He said he'd k*ll you

if he lays eyes on you again.

What? Why?

Before he did the "S", you said

you acted as Ji Eun and sent my texts.

To my ex...

Don't go unless you want a hole in your wrist.

After suffering from inflammation

and aches from the tattoo,

I had to give up on the "S".

Planning on eating dumplings for life?

Your dad loved dumplings.

You still think of him?

Of course. Every time I see you.

Your dad was also good at making me flip.

That's why I called him the flipper.

Your cousin passed the civil service written exam.

His interview is in a few days.

- Didn't he major in art?

- Yeah.

What a waste of his degree.

I'm glad he came around.

But 50% fail in interviews.

And civil servants don't make much these days.

Heung Soo, just go to the army.

They have good food these days.

Why do you keep telling me to go to the army?

Hi.

Heung Soo...

Ms. Koo Jae Hee?

Please come in.

Relax, please. I'll pull the skirt back.

[TO GUCCI: SORRY. CAN'T MEET TODAY]

Ms. Koo's guardian? Please come in.

- Me?

- Yes. Hurry.

This is the result of your actions!

I said I'd take responsibility!

Just tell me if you'll do it or not.

You call this being responsible?

A woman's body is a sacred temple, you know!

I don't have to take this bullshit!

Jae Hee, calm down.

Jae Hee!

- You irresponsible jerk!

- Doctor!

- It's not me!

- Go get her!

- Excuse me.

- Hey! Come back!

Jae Hee was a sprinter until middle school.

You can't just leave...

[OBSTETRICIAN]

Forget what old-timers say.

Give me that. I'll return it.

Let's go to another clinic.

Let go! What's with you?

Am I that obvious?

What?

Sun Woo said how could anyone

date someone like me seriously.

That doctor said this is the result of my life.

Is that right?

So they call me a loose b*tch

and a sl*t!

Is it okay for them to call me that?

Because I'm obvious,

they can treat me like sh*t

and think I won't get hurt?

Why do they judge and curse me?

Why is it so easy for them?

How can they read me so easily?

When I...

I...

I don't even know who I am.

How can they?

Heung Soo...

I'm scared.

I'm so scared. What now?

What do I do?

Jae Hee went on to do a double major

in Business and French,

and prepared hard to get a job.

I won a small literary contest.

- I continued to write and enter contests.

- You won?

Congrats! Why didn't you tell me?

It's nothing serious. The prize isn't much.

Rumors spread of us living together

and having an ab*rtion.

Jae Hee and I realized

collective intelligence is quite powerful.

If you keep living like this,

you'll die of loneliness, man!

f*ck!

I know. I think I'll die like that too.

So meet some nice guy and be happy.

There's nothing between us.

We just had some sex.

For sleeping together a few times,

you're way overreacting!

Damn you, jerk!

You don't know what love is, you stupid jerk!

Come on. Let's go.

Let's drink without him. What's your name?

He's totally into you.

It's about time you start dating seriously.

Then what?

Get married and introduce him to my mom?

"Mom, meet my boyfriend. Nice, huh?"

"He's got good ba*ls."

Ew! Cut it out!

Heung Soo, should we just

live together like this forever?

I'd rather raise a dog.

Why? I can be more like a dog.

No more, please.

Bark! Bark!

Woof! Woof!

Jae Hee left to study in Australia,

saying school wasn't fun without me.

To buy a g*n to sh**t my manager.

sh*t.

[ATTORNEY KIM JI SEOK]

If you sh**t him, call me.

[OPEN RECRUITMENT]

[COVER LETTER]

"In Search of Lost Time"?

The writer focuses only

on humans with great dedication.

That persistence... It's a work

that you experience, not just read.

By the way, why did you apply to our company?

You don't seem to be interested.

If you're going the wrong way,

the speed is meaningless.

My manager makes us do the work twice.

Can't he give the orders clearly?

Do I have to guess what he wants?

That's because you're not skilled enough.

That's not it.

He always tells me to do it myself,

then gives me a hard time.

Adjusting to the boss' style is part of the job.

By the way, you two must meet up often.

Well...

No.

Since he showed up at my house drunk,

maybe a couple times more?

Why would Heung Soo's friend

show up drunk at your place?

- Well...

- We had a group meeting.

That's right.

We made a PPT at my place.

Heung Soo fell asleep. He came in drunk.

Why do a group meeting at your place with guys?

They're friends and Ji Eun was there too.

Ji Eun, right! Tell her to come and join us.

She's a vegetarian.

When we went for gourmet salad,

you said she's a meat lover.

Ah... She stopped eating meat since then.

She has fatty liver.

What's with Ji Eun?

Is she a cat? She only stays home.

At least, cats make noises. I never heard her once

while we're on the phone.

Should she talk while someone's on the phone?

She's a quiet girl.

We need wine with meat.

Why aren't you drinking?

No thanks. I gotta go to court in the morning.

Jae Hee, you should stop drinking.

You have to prepare for your meeting.

He takes good care of me like this.

He's totally obsessed.

She said no, but he kept chasing her.

If she doesn't take his calls, he flips!

He must like Jae Hee a lot.

They say obsession is love too.

How is that love? It's a mental illness.

Heung Soo, I made my decision.

I'm going to come out properly.

I already told my sister.

She wasn't as surprised as I thought.

She said she had a feeling.

Just go. We're done for good.

Breaking up with me is that easy for you?

If you come out and I'm with you,

what about me?

Did you think about that? What it would do to me?

All the things to come...

You think you can really handle it?

Look.

Listen, Heung Soo.

Rather than people cursing me,

the wall you put up hurts me more.

So let's call it quits.

Fine.

Let's not meet again.

I'm tired of this.

It's pretty.

Try it on.

I can't wear this to work.

Wear it when you're off.

Why don't you wear heels these days?

Ji Seok hates me looking taller than him.

Tell him to grow taller.

Why keep doing what he wants?

You're no fun these days, you know?

You suck a bit.

He proposed.

He's getting up there in age.

I said, I'd think about it.

But I like my job, and I don't know

if marriage is what I need now.

It's because you're not sure about him,

not marriage itself.

I shouldn't get married

because everyone else does, right?

You, too. Don't get a job like everyone else.

Go to grad school for writing.

I didn't see you write

since you came out of the army.

Know who is the saddest case in the world?

A poor g*y guy.

I'm gonna make money.

You're lucky to be good at what you like.

What a waste!

[A NEW PHASE IN q*eer LITERATURE]

[AUTHOR PARK SANG YOUNG]

Hey!

Come home.

Hurry up.

Your mom is here!

Mom, wh-why are you here?

You said to send winter clothes.

Instead of sending it, I just brought 'em.

I wanted to see your place

and also bring some kimchi.

She's... ah... I can explain.

I know.

Your best friend.

He never tells me anything about school.

I had no idea he had a close friend like this.

Since you got into a good company,

please help Heung Soo out, too.

Don't worry, ma'am.

A fortune teller told me that any man

who's with me will be very successful.

- Oh, really?

- Yes, ma'am!

For sure!

Eat up.

You like leg meat.

Here.

It's so nice to have your home cooked meal!

Wanna go to my place?

Can I, really?

It's okay. I work part-time.

Have some meat for energy to study harder.

Buy Jae Hee good food too.

Heung Soo, I knew you'd be cured.

Why? Is the boiler broken?

Yeah.

Sleep here, then.

It's okay.

You don't have a heat pad.

Your mom is nice. She's so sweet.

Mom said you're pretty.

Must be going blind.

[JI SEOK]

Slept well, handsome?

Jae Hee, did you eat sh*t?

Hey! Get off me!

No! Your back is so warm.

Come on!

Back off! What's with you this morning?

- k*ll that damn temper!

- Damn it!

Go get the milk.

Did you gain weight?

- No way.

- You're heavier.

It's because you're constipated. Drink some milk.

Ji Seok?

- Damn!

- I can explain.

You son of a b*tch!

- Ji Seok! No!

- You b*stard!

Ji Seok, I'll explain everything!

- Listen to me, please!

- Stay out of this!

Hey!

Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Get your hand off my girl, as*h*le!

- What!

- Stop! He's g*y!

Heung Soo is g*y. He likes men!

He's Ji Eun. It's the same as living with a woman.

Ji... Ji Eun?

You're really g*y?

Let's go.

Let's talk outside. Let's go.

Are you g*y? Answer me!

I'll explain everything.

Move! I want his answer!

I'm sorry I lied.

You didn't just lie. You scammed me!

If he stays, I go!

Do you think this makes any sense?

Fine. I'll talk to Heung Soo.

Give me some time.

Why do you need time? Just chase the b*stard out!

You're close with Young h*.

He means the world to you.

You said, you can give him your liver and kidney!

Heung Soo is like that to me.

It's not the same!

How can you be so stupid?

- There's no comparison!

- Please!

Just cut ties with the f*gg*t!

You're laughing? Think this is funny?

Listen.

I like iced coffee.

What the hell?

Let's break up.

f*ck.

What?

Hey!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do that.

Then what did you mean?

Are you mad?

No. Why would I be mad? I am g*y, aren't I?

You laugh when you're mad.

Why ask if you know?

Look.

I didn't even tell my mom.

I haven't even told my own mother!

How could you tell that b*stard!

He kept hitting you. I tried to stop...

You should've let him hit me,

instead of making me feel like sh*t.

I understand you...

Who are you to understand me?

Because you're normal? What, you're ordinary?

Cut the crap and admit you don't care

'cuz it's not about you.

That's way more tolerable.

How long will you keep hiding it?

Will you hang out with only me for life?

Graduation, writing, your life!

How long will you push things off and hide?

If I had rich parents like you,

I wouldn't live like this!

You live like this and act all cool

because you have something to fall back on.

What about my life?

Stop being dragged around by men

and live your life properly.

That's not you.

Think you're the saddest

and most pitiful case in the world?

[SU h*]

Jang Heung Soo!

With love, you gotta take off the protective film.

You coward!

Low cost franchise cafes are on the rise.

People drink coffee in the morning.

It's hard to go to places that charge a lot.

Especially for takeout,

I tend to go to less expensive brands.

Self-owned coffee shops have fared well,

but they're losing ground to more franchises.

OBC News. Lee Ju Won reporting.

Next up is cultural news.

The movie "Call Me by Your Name"

is quietly attracting attention.

It's about 17-year-old Elio,

who meets Oliver, a 24-year-old man,

and falls in love with him

in a romance hotter than summer.

Elio goes on summer vacation...

[SU h*]

If obsession isn't love,

then I have never loved before.

Thank you, Father God.

In this chaotic world,

thank you for guiding this lamb

to the right path in your arms.

Mom.

I'm g*y.

Mom...

The person I'm in love with...

is a man.

Heading out?

Where are you going?

To watch a movie.

At this hour?

By yourself?

Mom?

Mom!

Are you in here?

Mom...

Mom!

Mom!

What's wrong?

Wake up, Mom!

911 emergency.

My mom is unconscious...

She's bleeding so much...

- Please come quickly...

- Please calm down, sir.

Mom! Mom! Please!

- Mom!

- What is your address, please?

How long has she been bleeding?

Raspberry wine?

- Pardon? Respiratory failure?

- Did you drink raspberry wine?

Was she stabbed?

Hello?

Hello? What is your location?

Hello? Are you still there?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Hello?

She's okay. I'm so sorry.

[RASPBERRY WINE]

[CALL ME BY YOUR NAME]

I'm sorry.

By chance...

Tony Leung is here.

What? Tony Leung?

How've you been?

It's been a while. You're looking good.

You too.

I was thinking about calling you.

I have something to say.

Really? What?

What did you come to say?

It's nothing important.

You go first.

I have a boyfriend.

You saw him at my office.

Oh, him?

That's great.

Congratulations.

I wanted to tell you that.

I thought I should.

I'll get going.

Did you hear the chief fart?

It's so funny!

I heard it too.

Young Woo, don't laugh like that.

It's so g*y.

What's so g*y?

You were joking, right?

Why would you joke like that?

What's wrong with g*y men?

What's wrong with being g*y?

Jae Hee, are you drunk?

Young Woo laughed. What's with you?

Laughing doesn't always make it okay.

It could be to avoid awkwardness.

There are people who laugh it off like that.

So stupid...

Oh, come on. Why are you so serious?

Why bet your life on something so trivial?

Don't say it's trivial! Please!

Can't you say it must mean more than life to her?

Please excuse me.

Ms. Koo Jae Hee.

Here...

Let me catch you a cab. It's dangerous at night

for women to be alone.

Why don't you go home early too?

If men went home early,

women would be safer at night.

That's genius!

Heung Soo!

The door code was your birthdays together?

How cute.

Are you drunk?

I thought long and hard about it.

That b*stard's not g*y.

You cheated on me and lied, didn't you?

Huh?

You're drunk.

Let's talk when you're sober.

You two played me for a fool, didn't you!

Jae Hee.

It's okay, babe.

I'll forgive you because I love you, Jae Hee!

I'll forgive you for everything,

so let's start over.

No.

What?

I don't want to.

Get out of my house now.

You f*ck' b*tch!

You wench!

I said, I'd forgive you!

Why!

Damn it!

f*ck!

The line is busy...

[SISTER HEUNG JA]

[as*h*le KIM JI SEOK]

Hello?

Heung Soo.

Where are you? What's wrong?

Jae Hee, go to the police. I'll be right there.

Jae Hee, focus and stop crying!

I'll be right there!

I'm on my way!

Okay.

Goal!

Turn left! It's faster!

Wait! Hold on!

Mister! Stop!

Kim Ji Seok!

Come out, you b*stard!

f*ck!

What is it?

Vandalism and as*ault.

I'm the victim!

Why sit there like a duckling in the rain?

Damn it!

Why are you...

I'm gonna sue these b*stards!

I'm a lawyer.

You son of a b*tch!

Officer! I saw them naked

and stuck together like glue!

My girlfriend was secretly living with a man!

They lied to me for years!

What man would not flip?

And he beat me up! See?

That's so bad.

That's terrible. How could you?

Yes! And he hit me like this!

When I caught 'em in the act,

do you know what they said to me?

They said they're just friends.

She said he's g*y!

Hey! Are you really g*y?

If you are, prove it!

Give me a picture of you

having sex with a guy, as*h*le!

You b*stard!

Go on! Hit me!

Please be quiet!

Calm down.

Please sit down.

Let me get this straight.

Your girlfriend was living secretly with this man.

She lied that he's g*y and he assaulted you?

That's right.

Is what he says true?

Answer him!

You cheated on me!

- Yes, I'm a b*tch!

- Yes, I'm g*y!

You're not a b*tch, Jae Hee.

Yes, I'm g*y.

f*ck.

Jae Hee is my friend.

She knows me the most

and I know her better than anyone!

But she's no b*tch.

We are just...

Even my mom knows that we're best friends.

Best friends can live together.

Rent is damn expensive in Seoul!

People may think it's weird that we live together.

I get it.

But it's not weird for us.

Are we weird?

No!

Not at all!

Bravo!

Wonderful!

It's not weird.

f*ck.

Bless you.

[EMERGENCY ROOM]

- Ow!

- Be careful.

Let's sit there.

I should've listened to you.

Why am I always like this?

That's who you are.

You fearlessly go at things

and get broken to pieces,

but you laugh again.

The most carefree girl in the world.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Hey, Koo Jae Hee.

How can you being yourself be your weakness?

Ow!

Damn...

It's cold.

Jae Hee.

Su h* is gone.

He has a boyfriend now.

I thought...

he'd always be there.

Because he always was.

So I never told him once that I missed him.

I miss him...

Just cry, silly.

You can cry.

The meeting is in 20 minutes.

What do you mean you didn't hear?

- Where's Chief Jang?

- Yes, sir!

Hurry up.

Jang Jung Woo!, did you tell her

what I told you or not?

Yes, I did, sir.

You did?

Then look at this!

Look!

Apparently not!

I'm canceling the PT today.

Do it again by tomorrow! Got it?

Yes, sir.

Damn it!

- Chief, I swear I didn't hear.

- I told you!

I clearly said it during our meeting yesterday.

Do it again quickly and send it to me!

How are we supposed to know

what they talked about?

I asked them to tell us too,

but they always ignored me!

I should learn to smoke too. Damn it!

But they'll curse me for that too.

When will we ever get the right instructions?

Do I still have to be called by the manager

for stuff like this?

Do your jobs properly.

Make sure you double check the files

before submitting them.

And make the fonts bigger.

Last time, the executives complained.

This must be the meeting room.

I had no idea.

Why didn't you tell me?

If I knew, that wouldn't have happened.

Right, Chief?

Now that I know, I won't miss anything.

It's nice out here.

We're having meetings here from now on, right?

We were wandering in the wrong place.

Too bad.

That was awesome!

Did you see the look on his face?

Don't say I'm old

I feel so young at heart

This is so much fun!

Since I'm in a good mood,

I'll say just one thing.

The new employees these days

spend all their energy looking for jobs.

So when they actually come in,

they have no energy left.

Back in my day,

[PLEASURE OF LOVE]

I don't like her.

I'm telling you.

The manager hates her.

Her nickname is NTJ.

"No tomorrow Jae Hee".

Dang.

She's pretty,

but also cool.

She's so impressive.

I like her so much. What do I do?

Don't know.

I just came out for a smoke.

I should...

Gotta go.

Why? Why marriage

out of all the crazy things to do?

After three years, there's nothing else to do

but get married.

I told you I'm going to try everything...

I know you said that, but marriage...

Why?

Are you hurt?

The mama's boy?

Whoa!

- Try it on.

- It'll suit you!

- It suits you perfectly!

- It stretches, you know?

- Try it on!

- Let's throw it out.

So?

Are you top priority to him?

[MIN JUN]

Hi, honey.

I was just packing.

Heung Soo is helping me.

Really?

- So pretty.

- I know!

She looks so beautiful!

So pretty!

Next up is the wedding song.

Thanks.

Ah, the wedding song will be sung

by Jae Hee's dearest friend.

Please welcome, Jang Heung Soo!

Jae Hee!

Have a good life!

You don't know me

You don't know me

You don't know me

You don't know me

Shut up, boy

Shut up, boy

Shut up, boy

Shut up, Shut up

You couldn't say a thing in front of me

But you bad mouth me behind my back

Jeez

I'm dumbfounded

Hello, hello, hello

Meeting a girl like me

Must be your first time

Why do you judge me?

Are you afraid of me?

On the outside, I'm a bad girl

On the inside, I'm a good girl

You don't even know me

You only see my appearance

And think I'm a pitiful girl

Your gaze is so funny to me

When I dance, I'm a bad girl

When I love, I'm a good girl

When you watch me dance

You become mesmerized,

But then you point fingers...

I get why the beaming daughter

at her wedding can be an eyesore.

You're more obvious

Hello, hello, hello

If you don't have the guts,

Go back, go back, go back

Just step aside

Why keep yapping?

I can see right through you, you know?

On the outside, I'm a bad girl

On the inside, I'm a good girl

You don't even know me

You only see my appearance

She came into my life and recognized me.

We openly shared our pain

and gave everything without question.

She remembers the moments I loved

and my facial expressions then.

She showed me

that I am enough just as I am.

The memory drive of my 20s...

Goodbye, Jae Hee.

If obsession isn't love,

then I've never loved before.

[LOVE IN THE BIG CITY]

[JAE HEE]

What? You haven't taken off yet?

I forgot to ask something.

Wanna go on a blind date?

What? Who is it? Is he good looking?

He's a cop. How about it?

Better than a criminal, I guess.

Okay, then I'll set the date.

I gotta get on the plane now. I'll text you later!

Okay, have a...

Oh, Koo Jae Hee.

See you soon, Jae Hee.
