There's this phrase in The Art of War.
"Attack is the secret of defense."
But I'm not sure about that. I don't exactly agree.
It's hard enough defending yourself. You won't have the strength to attack.
So I believe the best defense
is running away.
UNG IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
I have a long history of running away.
In our next class, we'll make a presentation about our families.
Choi Ung, you can start.
Ung, are you ready?
Let's begin after a short break.
-Okay! -Okay!
Hey, look.
Let's play with this!
What should we do today?
-Hey! -Yes! I won!
Ung, come down. Ung!
Come down!
-It's dangerous. -Come down.
At quite a young age…
-Ung, come down. -Come on, Ung.
-You'll get hurt! -It's dangerous. Come on.
-You could get hurt. -Come down.
-It's dangerous. -I won't make you do it.
So come down. I mean it.
I promise. You don't have to do the presentation.
-…I tasted how sweet it could be. -Come down, all right?
UNG IN HIGH SCHOOL
Of course, I run away for my sake.
Choi Ung!
That brat completely broke this.
-Stop right there! -But it's also for the other person.
You jerk!
It's to give them time
when they get too emotional and lose the ability to think clearly.
This cost 29,900 won!
UNG IN UNIVERSITY
I swear I won't hit you!
And I won't yell at you.
So come here.
I'm buying time for them so we can have a calm conversation.
Do you mean it?
Come here.
Stop right there!
But that doesn't mean I always run away from everything.
-You're entering a marathon? -Yes.
Yeon-su said if I do a half marathon, she'll wear matching rings.
My gosh.
She really is amazing.
Is she dating or babysitting?
She still doesn't know me well enough.
I'm a man of my word.
Hey, I'm going to be tough with you, so don't go back on your word.
We'll run for an hour every day.
Of course.
With a week of training, I'll even be able to complete a full marathon.
I'll get going.
Jeez.
I can't do this anymore.
INCOMING CALL KIM JI-UNG
I make objective judgments to make the best decision.
INCOMING CALL KIM JI-UNG
Right. I can just wear friendship rings with Ji-ung.
Right.
So I'm not embarrassed about running away.
UNG IN THE PRESENT
Now that we've reunited,
we can say, "Have you been well?"
"How have you been?"
"Was it tough for you?"
"It was tough for me." Can't we tell each other these things?
Darn it…
I asked you for a writer a long time ago.
You're finally sending me one?
Well, you know…
I did my best to find one for you, so don't give me a hard time.
Everyone's working on something.
There wasn't anyone to send to you.
So…
Well, good luck.
What? Who is it? Why are you making such excuses?
What are you waiting for?
Are you going to just stand there all day?
You know you're overqualified to be working on this.
Why are you here?
This is just a simple project.
I'll just get the rookie writers to help.
Do you think I wanted to do this?
But Mr. Park desperately asked for my help.
You said you were going to work on dramas now.
-So just go and write-- -I am.
I hate it when people tell me to write when I'm already writing.
I came here to clear my head a bit,
so don't stop making it so obvious that you don't want me here.
-So you'll do whatever you want again? -Things turn out great that way.
I don't like it when you do that.
-I… -I saw the preview, and it was awful.
Who said you could show her?
What in the world are you filming, Mr. Kim?
I don't get what you're trying to say through these videos.
What has gotten into you?
-Have you lost your touch? -I'll take care of this myself,
so go back to where you came from
or go and clear your head somewhere else.
Mr. Kim.
We're in a bad situation. We really do need a writer.
Well, I do have something I want to make up for too.
I won't be that stubborn this time.
So…
what is it that you want to say?
I heard the cast are your friends. Is that why you were being lazy?
Honestly, I was thinking of refusing this when I first saw the videos.
But then I found something interesting.
-So I watched the old documentary. -And?
There seems to be something going on between the two of them.
There's no way you didn't notice that.
If we use that, I think we can make quite an interesting piece.
I don't want to force a scenario on them.
No, it actually felt like
the camera was purposely trying to ignore that side of them.
But…
-Maybe that was just me. -Why would I purposely do that?
I was trying to film them objectively--
Then why should people film things?
You can let machines do the shooting then.
My gosh. You really haven't changed a bit, Mr. Kim.
Well, you made the scenes look quite pretty.
I'll write up something
based on them.
-Hey, you're up. -Hey.
Today's the party.
Look behind you.
I put in so much effort to prepare for your debut anniversary party.
Right. And Yeon-su's coming too because we're filming.
Is there anyone else we can invite?
Like NJ, you know.
Or NJ.
Right, and Ji-ung said he's coming early today.
I'll be needing these.
Ung! Ji-ung said he's coming over first so get ready, okay?
Running away isn't about avoiding things,
it's just a reasonable decision.
Running away?
I've never done anything so cowardly in my entire life.
It's all just a pathetic excuse.
Sorry.
I'm quite drunk right now.
Running away is what cowards do.
So?
Did you all read it?
I guess you didn't.
I'm sure you wouldn't be making such faces after reading my draft.
Sorry, but we can't film
your amazing story.
What? Why?
Don't you think it's a bit too childish to reject my work like this?
-They ran away. -Who?
-The cast. -The cast?
Choi Ung.
Go get him then. It's no big deal.
And Kook Yeon-su too.
EPISODE 7 CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
CELEBRATION PARTY CHOI UNG, KOOK YEON-SU
ONE HOUR EARLIER
I told you I tried calling him. He's not picking up.
But you were with him this morning.
Yes. He was here, but he just disappeared.
Did you really not hear anything from Yeon-su?
Me?
I'm the one who brought all this wine.
I even closed the bar today to attend this party.
And now this?
Don't you think I'm a victim too?
I get that Choi Ung could do this, but Yeon-su isn't this irresponsible.
You don't think something's happened to them, do you?
Didn't you take her home last night?
Maybe she's hungover.
She rarely is, though.
I'll try calling her grandma.
I see.
-What? Is it Yeon-su? -So she did go AWOL.
"I need time to think. Don't tell my grandma."
Judging from her rude text, she hasn't been kidnapped.
Yeon-su went AWOL?
-Why? Why would she do that? -Where could Ung be?
You know how simple he is.
If we just look around the neighborhood, we'll find him right away.
But why is he suddenly acting like this?
The drawing show went well yesterday.
I really don't get it.
But isn't it a bit strange for them to do this at the same time?
Maybe something happened between the two of them.
Don't you think so?
Is it just me?
I never saw them together yesterday though.
Right. And Yeon-su came to my bar after the event ended,
and she went home drunk.
Ung went to bed early last night too.
Was I drunk last night?
No.
Did I take pills yesterday?
No.
Did I cry in front of Yeon-su regardless?
But…
she might not remember either since she was drunk.
GU EUN-HO
Where are you? Just tell us where you are.
Is this because I asked for a raise? I'm not giving up though.
Are you with Yeon-su?
Why did you two suddenly go AWOL?
I'll avoid it for now and think things through.
I did expect this, but…
I've got nowhere to go.
What do people usually do when they're in my situation?
Right.
I don't have any friends.
I'm not running away.
I'm just keeping a distance until I can get my thoughts in order.
This is so intriguing.
Pardon?
So they both ran away? My goodness.
This is even better than I thought! Isn't it strange that they both went AWOL?
It is.
Right?
This is going to be big.
There must be something going on!
I need to be able to film them first for a chance at success.
What can I do when the cast is gone?
What has gotten into you?
-You don't seem enthusiastic about this. -What?
When have you ever given up just because the cast ran away?
Remember Jukdo?
Why bring that up?
You searched the whole island when the cast went AWOL.
Plus, that snake farm.
You ran around the mountain looking for the snake that escaped.
And you're saying you can't film just because of this?
Even if I do find them,
would I be able to film anything good by forcing them to stay on camera?
If you bring them back,
make sure they can never run away again.
Let's see…
Do you prefer mountains or islands?
Pardon?
Hey, Intern.
What are my works the most known for?
Bringing out people's primal emotions in a confined environment.
Say that more simply.
Locking them up and filming?
The weather's nice these days. Let's go on a trip.
Kidnap the cast, take them somewhere secluded,
and film them for about three days.
All right, don't worry.
I'm doing my best to find him.
Yes. I'll call you when I find him.
Oh, there's my taxi. Taxi!
I'll call you later.
Thank you, Choi Ung.
Dobby is free.
Oh, my gosh!
-I was here the whole time though. -What are you doing there?
I'm hungry.
There's a lot of food here, but there's nothing to eat.
You didn't leave?
-Nobody told me to leave. -Everyone left.
My alcohol's still here.
-I mean, aren't you looking for Yeon-su? -What about you?
But why are you talking so casually to me?
I personally believe that people should be respected according to their age.
And I'm older than you.
But do you really not know where Ung is?
Of course I do.
It's obvious where he'd be.
He doesn't have any friends or hobbies.
It's the same for Yeon-su.
Is that why they dated?
But he does have something like a hobby.
It's obvious.
They must be together right now.
Isn't this your first time at this house?
You've made yourself at home here.
I even closed the bar today
and came to have fun.
I can't just sit around.
How about a party to celebrate Choi Ung without Ung?
Sol-i.
You're a genius.
It feels like I've come back
only three hours after I've run away.
I ended up in front of Ung again.
Okay, that's the worst thing I've said this year.
Hey…
What are you doing here?
Right.
I thought…
you were having a celebration party today.
What about you?
I just wanted to get some rest.
You know this is really awkward, right?
Really? I feel fine though.
-Really? -Yes. I'm totally fine.
Why would we be awkward?
I see. You must have decided to pretend not to remember anything.
-I don't know what you're saying. -Kook Yeon-su.
All right, fine. It's awkward.
I got drunk and cried in front of my ex.
So I feel really embarrassed. Happy?
Like I said, running away is a reasonable decision for me.
But, at times,
the choice hasn't always been mine.
Let's go eat.
EXCESSIVE LIFE BEGINNING A JOURNEY
VOLUNTEER WITH NJ BRIQUETTE DELIVERY OF LOVE
Here.
I don't know what you're thinking.
If you don't want to do this, you can say no.
It's volunteer work.
You're not that warm-hearted, are you?
This isn't helping you at all.
NJ, drink this. I got it for you.
Thank you.
-You look much more pretty in person. -Thanks.
Don't you have any pride?
VOLUNTEER WITH NJ BRIQUETTE DELIVERY OF LOVE
You all came here
because NJ will drop the charges if you did this, right?
Yes. I heard everyone who came last year was let off.
Yes, she'll drop the charges.
How do you know?
Well, I actually came here last year too.
-Oh, gosh. -Gosh.
Then you got caught again?
I was just unlucky.
Honestly, they say everything is a malicious comment these days.
Right. And to be honest, don't you think this is kind of ridiculous?
Volunteer work with people who wrote bad comments about her?
I don't know if she has really high self-esteem or is smart.
It's all for her image of course.
She's a tough one.
Anyway, just keep sucking up to her and she'll let you off.
Let's all hang in there until this is over.
Did you see those stickers of her face on the lunch boxes?
Nobody here wants to see her face while eating.
I tore it off already.
She's so young, but she's as sly as a fox.
But what kind of comment did you write?
I didn't even make up stories about her.
You know,
there was a rumor about NJ and her sponsors.
And I just wrote about that a bit.
NJ even had sponsors?
I can't believe it! When?
Her agency is going after innocent citizens like us
to keep it under wraps.
I know, right?
Remember when her first album was a huge hit right after her debut?
I heard her sponsors got her all those commercials back then.
That's how she bought all those expensive buildings at her age.
That's so crazy.
Come on. What are you waiting for?
WITH UNG
Where have you been all day?
Hello.
Oh my, it's Yeon-su!
Yeon-su's here?
My goodness!
Yeon-su!
I'm so glad you're here.
-You came to eat, right? -Yes.
Sit over there.
Did you get home safe yesterday?
Of course. Have a seat here.
It's as if I'm not even here.
-It's been such a long time. -Yes.
What do you want? Tell me anything you want.
Anything is fine. Everything you make is so delicious.
But still. Is there anything you wanted to eat?
Well, then, do you still make bean stew?
Right! You used to love that!
I'll make some right away.
-Thank you. -Mom, I want--
I'll get you some meat and other side dishes. Eat all you want, okay?
-Thank you. -Hey, I'm here.
Weren't you here just a minute ago?
What? When did Ung get here?
Hang on.
Ji-ung…
Ji-ung asked me to call him if I saw Ung.
All right. But don't call him.
Ji-ung was looking for him everywhere.
Just go, will you?
Watching them again and again won't get you anywhere.
I'm sure I told you I don't want the smell of food in here.
I'm done eating. Jeez, you're so sensitive.
Did you eat?
I did.
Outside the editing room.
Hey, I heard the cast ran away.
I did think that they'd run away by now.
-They haven't changed a single bit. -You knew?
They ran away after about two weeks when we filmed ten years ago.
Didn't you know?
The day Yeon-su went home early and Ung was absent?
That's right.
They both disappeared, so we looked for them everywhere.
-So where did you find them? -We didn't.
But they seemed to have reached an agreement.
They just returned as if nothing happened.
-What? -It's obvious.
They'll return by themselves later,
so just wait quietly.
Don't worry.
Chae-ran was looking for some lodging. Are you going somewhere?
Can I join you?
This trip isn't for fun.
Ms. Lee wanted to come too, but don't even think about it.
Grow up, the both of you.
I made a list of places we can go to.
-Should we decide after we find them? -No, have things set in advance.
Otherwise, we won't have enough time.
I'll make sure to get them today, no matter what.
Is he useful?
I told him to make a list of lodgings
and he gave me about 20 pages of places where newlyweds would go.
He's really good at organizing stuff.
I already feel nauseous.
He's so different from me.
Mr. Kim!
Are you going out on business? I can drive.
No, it's fine.
Hey, Intern. You can go--
It's Im Tae-hun, sir.
Okay, Intern. Why don't you--
It's Im Tae-hun.
All right. I'll call you Imtern from now on.
Imtern, go home and pack. Okay?
Okay.
-And Chae-ran, wrap up here and go home. -Okay.
-Imtern. -Yes, sir.
Are you uncomfortable here?
No, I was thinking of visiting soon anyway.
I'm glad your parents seem healthy.
They have aged quite a lot though.
How about your grandma? Is she doing okay?
Yes, she's good.
I see.
The radishes are really…
You didn't answer me yet.
How have you been?
Well, I just graduated and started working.
Nothing much.
I've been okay.
Is that it?
Yes. Nothing special.
-Then yesterday-- -Yesterday,
I was really drunk.
It's embarrassing, so just forget what happened.
You know how stressed I was working on this project.
I enjoyed the food.
I should get going.
-Yeon-su, are you leaving already? -My gosh.
I really enjoyed the food.
I didn't expect to come here, so I didn't bring anything.
Gosh, there's no need.
You can visit us any time, all right?
Okay.
Oh, wait. Hang on.
I packed some side dishes.
No, it's fine.
Have these with your grandmother.
And bring her along next time.
You didn't have to.
But I'll enjoy these. Thank you.
Come back next time.
Take her home, Ung.
I can go by myself.
Of course not!
Jeez.
Come back next time, okay?
I'll see you next time. Bye.
Get home safe.
See you next time.
How do they seem to you?
I have no clue.
I've always said this,
but you should be good to your parents. They're so kind and nice.
Are you going home?
Ji-ung won't still be waiting there, would he?
We both went AWOL without telling them,
so let's apologize tomorrow and start filming again…
Right. This is how I felt.
This is how I felt while dating you.
I was just waiting like an idiot,
watching you walk away, step by step.
It was always like that.
What do you mean?
When you said you were okay, I had to just accept it.
When you said nothing was wrong,
I had to say I worried for no reason.
And when you wanted to break up,
I had to accept it without knowing the reason.
And when I met you again,
I didn't know how you'd been
or what you were thinking…
but I had to just accept things without knowing anything.
"Attack is the secret of defense."
It really feels like you're back, Yeon-su.
Choi Ung.
I'm really sick of this.
I guess that's what I'm doing right now.
But this wasn't my choice.
One, two, three!
-Good job. -Good job.
-Thank you.
-Good job. -NJ.
I had a really meaningful experience today thanks to you.
Thank you.
We were able to reflect on ourselves today thanks to you.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
-So you're going to let us off, right? -Jeez.
We'll do our best to make up for our mistakes.
And we'll tell everyone about how cool you were today.
Okay?
All right.
-Director. -Yes?
I'm sorry, but I can't come anymore.
-Why? -I thought they'd stop eventually.
I didn't know people would keep leaving malicious comments.
They're not my fans.
They're just malicious commenters I sued.
-Hey, NJ. -What?
Who? Me?
You always seemed to call me bitch.
-I'm not dropping the charges. -What?
Good work today.
Thank you for joining me when I asked if you wanted to do volunteer work.
Goodbye then.
-But please… -You can't do this!
You've conned us.
You said you'd drop the charges. This is ridiculous.
I don't think I ever promised to drop the charges.
You ate with me here last year, right?
Did you do it again because you missed me?
Well, that was…
It was constructive criticism. Do you think everyone is out to get you?
Should I read the comments you wrote about me then?
Let's see how constructive it is.
Hey, you're just abusing your power against innocent citizens.
We're all busy people, you know.
You were just making us waste our time!
You'd better suck up to me if you at least want a lower sentence.
Are you sure about this?
-Jeez. -Excuse me.
NJ.
As you know, I only made this mistake once.
If I get indicted, I'll have a hard time getting a job.
Can you please let me off this time? My life is at stake here.
All right. You only did it once.
So I'll sue you just once.
If you do it twice, I'll sue you twice too.
Come on. People make mistakes.
Do you have to be so cruel?
What kind of a mistake led you to sexually harass me online?
Your ID is Bibibik, right?
VOLUNTEER WITH NJ BRIQUETTE DELIVERY OF LOVE
There were articles about how this was a place
for reconciliation and forgiveness.
Go and tell people it isn't.
Tell everyone that I was a crazy bitch who was bent on suing you.
And that I was acting unlike myself.
Go and tell people this
as you've always done.
-Wait, NJ! -Drop the charges!
That's enough.
Do you even have a conscience?
Darn it.
What did I say now?
I just want to go home and rest.
WHY DID YOU TWO SUDDENLY GO AWOL?
-Choi Ung! -Choi Ung!
Congratulations!
You're far away right now,
but we're congratulating you.
Congratulations!
Ung here says that he's really happy.
Right, Ung? You're happy, aren't you? Why don't you smile?
Hey, I heard you're earning a fortune.
Can't you buy my bar? Please?
Ung, this is our success story!
I can't believe the dim-witted Ung
has succeeded this much.
I can't…
I can't believe
I saw my idiot Ung succeed…
Why are you crying? You're making me cry too.
He didn't even get to eat properly…
Don't cry. You'll sober up.
He suffered so much…
Ung!
You have to be happy, all right?
It looks more like they're holding my funeral.
Should I report them?
Eun-ho, that jerk.
What?
NJ
This is how I felt.
I was just waiting like an idiot,
watching you walk away, step by step.
It was always like that.
I'm really sick of this.
Is that you, Yeon-su?
Why are you standing there like that?
-Did you just arrive? -Yes.
What's that in your hand?
Grandma, I'll be back in a moment.
Didn't you just get home?
Good job. You should have done that earlier.
It's not something you can forgive that easily.
"The kindhearted NJ who forgives everyone"?
That's nonsense.
We'll tell the boss
that you won't be dropping charges for anyone anymore.
Those jerks.
But…
why did you want to meet them in person every time?
I just thought
that it'd be less scary if I saw the people behind it.
Just avoid them. Run away.
It's okay to do that.
That's why I'm running away today.
To that person?
Yes.
Mr. Choi!
My gosh.
Darn it.
Hey…
I guess I called at the perfect timing.
Were you wandering around after running away from home?
Running away from home at this age?
I was just
trying to have some time to myself.
If you don't want to do the documentary, just don't.
It'd be quite overwhelming for someone who isn't a celebrity.
It's okay. Come here.
Bring your bags.
I can't believe this! Are you really NJ?
You're really NJ?
Yes. Do you have a pen?
Hey, kid. You should ask for permission before taking photos of someone.
Can I take a photo?
No, you can't.
There are lots of pretty photos online, so look at those.
Here.
Do you know what scarcity is?
You know rare items, right?
-Yes. -Yes.
If you want your bags to become rare items,
you shouldn't tell anyone that I'm here. Got that?
-Yes. -Yes.
If you tell people I'm here,
I'll sign everyone's bags.
-So you shouldn't, right? -Right.
Run along now. I was talking with my friend.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Even little kids recognize you.
It must be tiring.
Ordinary people like you won't ever know what it's like.
Wait. I think you'd understand a bit now.
Well, there were people who recognized me
because of that stupid documentary.
Then why are you filming it again?
It just happened.
I've fallen into my own trap, I guess.
That happens sometimes.
Did you just laugh at me?
Let's have lunch together.
Well, I just ate.
Mr. Choi. I really didn't want to say this myself,
but I'm introverted and sensitive even though I might not seem so.
My blood type is A and my MBTI is ISFP.
So I wrote some things in my heart diary.
What diary?
First.
"Mr. Choi got famous because I bought one of his works,
but why doesn't he want to buy me a meal?"
Second.
"I commissioned him to draw my building, but why doesn't he even contact me?"
And third.
"I made him even more popular
by going to his drawing show when I wasn't even invited,
but why won't he still buy me a meal?"
-Well, I-- -Those are the three debts you have.
How will you repay me?
Does he think he's the only one who can get upset?
When did he ever tell me anything?
Choi Ung was always the one…
Why isn't he picking up?
…who hid when he got upset.
But this…
I didn't expect something like this to happen.
Excuse me.
Hey…
Why are you so clumsy?
Anyway, I thought everyone would pretend not to have eaten
if I asked to have a meal together.
You're so difficult.
NJ…
You keep contacting me
and finding me…
I've been pretty clueless, haven't I?
Weren't you pretending to be clueless?
I guess it's true…
I'm sorry. I should have brought it up first.
I know, right?
It's embarrassing to have to say it myself.
Well…
Since you bought three drawings, I'll give you one for free.
I don't usually do this, but since you're NJ,
-if there's anything-- -Mr. Choi.
I have a lot of money.
Do you think I'm doing this just to get a free drawing?
What? Then why are you being so nice to me?
So I don't have a reason.
No, that's not what I meant.
-Why would someone like you-- -Because I like you.
What?
-Oh my! -My gosh!
Why do you keep dropping your ice cream?
What do you mean?
I had a really tough day today.
I don't want to whine about it because it's normal for me.
But…
I feel better when I see you.
At first, I felt better when I saw your drawings.
But now, I feel it with you too.
That's my reason for seeing you.
So stop getting so startled whenever you see me.
And don't look so shocked.
I'm not saying I love you,
and I'm not asking you out.
I'm just saying that I like you.
Maybe it's just because you look like Tofu.
"Tofu"?
Yes. My dog.
I see, your dog.
Are you going somewhere?
Some kids just don't listen.
I should get going. Let's hang out again.
You should go home too.
Let's go!
-Go! -It's NJ!
Is it really NJ?
-They're back again. -NJ! I want your autograph too!
-NJ! -There she is!
You're unbelievable.
Were you looking for me all day?
No, I just started looking for you.
I found you earlier than expected.
You didn't even go that far.
-What were you doing? -Just taking a walk.
Really?
Then why did you run away today?
I needed a break.
You needed a break?
Yes. I wanted to experience some freedom.
Is that so? You should have told me. You'll get to soon.
-What? -Never mind.
Are you going to keep shooting?
-I'm just confirming. Don't answer that. -Hey.
Did you fight with Ung again?
We didn't really fight. He just got angry at me.
When did he become so short-tempered?
When do you think?
Fine. Everything's my fault.
Not everything. Maybe about half.
Half and half with Ung.
Half and half?
Breaking up isn't usually just one person's fault.
It's the same for both sides.
What is it?
You seem to know a lot about dating.
What?
So, are you seeing someone?
My gosh.
You're not. Have you ever dated before?
Yeon-su. There are two kinds of men in this world.
Men who can't date, and men who don't date.
You're someone who can't.
You're so ridiculous.
You'd be shocked to find out what kind of person I am.
Really? What kind of person are you?
I'm a bit of a bad boy.
You know what a homme fatale is, right?
It means I could be fatal to women.
I try to keep my attractiveness hidden so I won't harm others.
Kim Ji-ung. When did you become so shameless?
You're so funny.
That wasn't a joke. I'm serious.
I guess you were a bit popular when we were in high school.
You finally get me.
Why, though?
Hey, that's kind of mean.
I guess it helped that you were the student president.
You just didn't know me much back then.
I'm so drunk right now.
That idiot…
Is that Sol-i?
What a way to end a terrible day.
Sol-i!
Sol-i.
Sol-i!
Yeon-su!
What is this?
-I'm drunk. -My gosh.
Eun-ho?
Have you finally croaked?
Maybe…
rather than a raise, you're better off gone.
You made a total mess in here.
I think I'm going to puke.
-You're unbelievable. -I'm going to puke.
You're such a pain.
Is it okay for her to sleep here?
Her dad's a minister.
Believe it or not, her family's very religious.
They don't know she drinks.
I love you, God.
How can they not know when she's running a bar?
You should see her act.
She should have been an actress, not a writer.
-I love you. -Just go to sleep.
I'm sorry you got dragged into this mess.
-What's going on here? -Grandma!
Oh, my. Aren't you Ji-ung?
It's so nice to see you.
How have you been? It looks like you got younger.
Come on.
Since when were you two so close?
Ji-ung's the sweetest boy I've ever seen.
Have you eaten?
-Why don't I give you something to eat? -All right.
But what's this stench?
It's me, it's me
That little brat! Is she drunk again?
-Can you leave my room now? -That wench.
What do we do with her?
Welcome!
Ung! My Ung who ran away.
I knew you'd become successful.
I'm so proud of you.
I'm still not forgiving you.
Continued on the back.
You may be a loser who failed at love,
but you succeeded in your career.
Let's work hard!
It's me, Sol-i.
Can you lend me 20 million won?
You jerk!
So what are you doing these days?
-I'm filming Ung. -The documentary?
Will it be on TV, then?
Yes, of course.
What are you doing here so early?
Get in. Let's go for a drive.
Are you half-asleep?
You said you wanted to experience freedom.
-Let's get some fresh air. -No, I can't be bothered.
Hey!
What are you doing? You'll wake the whole neighborhood.
-Why don't I? -Hey, Ji-ung!
Get in.
In American horror films,
crime usually happens suddenly in broad daylight.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
What?
They strike when you have your guard down.
And the criminal usually ends up
being an acquaintance.
What…
What are you doing?
Choi Ung's surprise show!
How many fans will be here today?
All right. Get out.
-Take off your blindfold! -Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
How could you not tell me anything during the whole trip?
What…
Where's your boss?
I'm going to sue…
Hey, Ji-ung!
You're here.
Ji-ung. This isn't funny at all.
I don't know what you're up to, but…
So the genre here isn't romance…
We're all here now. We're staying here for three days.
-We have seven fans today! -…it's horror.
Round of applause!
You might have noticed, but you can't leave without a car.
If you want to leave, you'll have to start walking now.
It'll take days though.
Ji-ung!
A cliche horror-thriller film
that's always released
around this time of the year.
EPILOGUE
-Sir. -Yes.
Choi Ung isn't here today.
What? He's not here?
No.
No wonder. He wasn't picking up earlier.
Sir.
Yes?
Can I leave school early?
Why? Are you not well?
No.
Right. You must have been overworked these days.
Go and get some rest.
NO LONGER HUMAN CHEKHOV SHORT STORIES
What are you doing here?
Getting a book.
You skipped school to come here?
No one would know I'm here.
What about you?
I got off school early.
Are you going to read that?
Yes.
Well, it might be a bit difficult for you. Are you sure you can?
It won't be easy to understand Nietzsche's philosophical ideology.
THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA
So just give it to me. It'll be better if I read it.
Eternal return.
It's the concept that the universe is recurring infinitely.
And in its eternal recurrence,
our existence also recurs infinitely and continues to do so.
I got curious about the eternity of time.
So I'm reading it again.
Okay.
Return if when you're done.
About yesterday…
I guess
I was a bit harsh.
Is that why you ran away?
Yes. I thought you'd be uncomfortable.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
Which trip was the most memorable?
I think I love you.
We really came on another trip. And it's farther away.
-I'm disappointed. -NJ!
It confuses me the more I film you two.
whether it's because of your past relationship…
We're not going to break up.
Just come to me like you did today.
