Then why are you here?
If not for money or sex, what are you here for?
I was hoping
I could see you
again.
Your eyes.
I wanted to see them again.
My eyes?
Your eyes
remind me of someone I used to know.
Who is that person?
Someone who's messed up.
Help me. Help!
Shall I help him?
Or not?
Wait.
A woman
whose eyes
utterly lacked warmth.
That woman...
Were you afraid of her?
No, the opposite.
I liked her.
CHAPTER 2 THE LADY IN RED SHOES
OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Are you making a move on me now?
I remind you of the girl in your beautiful memories?
I never said they were beautiful.
Do you still like me?
Don't get it wrong.
They're not good memories.
Is that so?
But you know what?
Bad memories
stay here longer.
Hey, I can't believe you let them run into each other!
You should've stopped her.
Well, Ms. Ko showed up unannounced.
Does she ever give us a heads-up?
Gosh, seriously.
If you lack foresight, you should've fought with all your might.
Unbelievable! Why do I even pay you?
I want to punch him, even just once.
Go tell Mr. Lee that I understand how tough his job must be.
What?
But he doesn't need to go to such lengths for me,
so tell him not to call me again.
My gosh.
I'm very late, aren't I? The traffic was awful.
How about we talk over some sweet beverage?
No, it's okay.
Oh, you're leaving already?
Don't forget to get Ms. Ko's autograph.
My autograph?
-Well, that's-- -Earlier, you asked me
to get Ms. Ko's autograph for you.
The spiel about my eyes
and that girl in your memories
was all for my autograph?
No.
So you weren't after money or sex.
My autograph was what you wanted.
I said, no.
My gosh, this is perfect.
We can call this an impromptu fan meeting.
-Why don't we drink this-- -I'll give you one.
My autograph.
This is my newest book, hot off the press.
All right.
Name?
Moon...
Sang-tae.
Who's Sang-tae? Is he your nephew?
No, he's my brother.
I see. Your brother is a fan of hers.
Right, Mun-yeong has fans of all ages and nationalities.
She has a huge fanbase.
Congratulations.
-Consider these fan goods-- -Here.
ZOMBIE KID
I'll be off, then.
See you again.
I don't think so.
Gosh, I have to make sure he takes this.
Mr. Moon!
Mr. Moon.
Mr. Moon, please. Hold on a second.
Goodness, just a second--
Gosh, my apologies.
I'm truly sorry about what happened, so please take this.
50,000 WON
This is too much for myself.
Well, then you can share it with the people around you.
-Oh, I see. -Yes.
Shall I do that, then?
Gosh, hey! No!
Hey, don't... Hey!
Hey, jeez.
I don't need this, so don't follow me.
But... Wait.
I've been cleaning up after Mun-yeong for ten years,
and no one has ever said no to this.
What an oddball.
Gosh, I have a bad feeling about this.
Should I have offered him two boxes?
Beautiful.
I want him.
Did you ask for me?
You said you want to be given a proper task.
Yes, just tell me what you need. I'll do anything.
Do some digging on the man who just left.
-Pardon? -If you tell Mr. Lee,
I'll pull out your tongue, so keep this a secret.
ZOMBIE KID KO MUN-YEONG'S NEWEST BOOK, COMING SOON
ZOMBIE KID
JAE-SU
Yes, we're eating.
Your landlady stopped by early in the morning and lashed out at me.
Gross. It has your saliva on it.
It's gross. Your saliva.
Cover your mouth when you cough. It's better than catching a virus.
Yes, he's doing great.
I mean, so far.
Hey, where did you go? Are you working as a driver or something?
What? Ko Mun-yeong?
What? Her autograph?
Okay, bye.
He got it.
Gosh, hold on!
Wait up. Can't we finish the food?
Hey! Wait!
Dear Sang-tae. I hope you can come to my book launch party.
You can get my autograph and take pictures with me.
We'll have fun.
Mun-yeong will be waiting for you. Wink!
Jeez, what's wrong with her?
RETAIL SPACE FOR LEASE
Where do you need me to go?
Well...
I have to finish packing,
go persuade my landlady, and--
I want an outfit that'll make me look smart
like an Oxford University student.
I should also tie up loose ends at all my part-time jobs.
Are you pulling webs out of a spider's butt? Stop rambling on.
So you want me to take Sang-tae
to that woman's signing event, right?
Yes.
All right. Text me the time and location.
Thanks, Jae-su.
Who's your favorite, me or Sang-tae?
You're so shy. You're such a cutie pie!
Hello!
Ju-ri.
Another fried chicken place?
Are you that excited?
"Dear Sang-tae!
I hope you can come to my book launch party.
You can get my autograph and take pictures with me.
We'll have fun.
Mun-yeong will be waiting for you. Wink!"
"Dear Sang-tae!" Yes!
Okay, Oxford University student.
My gosh, this is nice.
Sang-tae, try this one.
Yes, this one's cool.
Looking cool...
What do I do with my face to look cool?
Cool facial expressions.
How do I look cool?
Cool facial expressions.
-Beer's on the house. -Well…
I have to go back this evening, so I can't drink.
-How about Coke? -Sure.
It's also on the house.
I heard you moved to a hospital in the countryside.
Right.
RETAIL SPACE FOR LEASE
By the way, are you moving again?
Well, you know. I refuse to be tied down to one place.
I'm like the last nomad in this country.
Well... All is good, right?
Yes, as you can see.
No, I mean...
Gang-tae.
Yes. He's doing well, getting joy out of overworking himself.
Are you hurt?
No, I'm okay.
Take it easy. Your wage won't go up even if you work that hard.
They say one must seek out hard work while still young, but that's bullshit.
Gosh, you'll see when you're older.
You'll suffer from body aches all over and get sick all the time.
That young man is so unyielding.
All right, let's start the meeting.
-Okay. -Yes, sir.
I'll start with the reviews.
Most reviewers said
that the illustrations are too grotesque.
Ms. Ko's other books were also criticized for being too cruel.
I'm afraid the illustrations are adding to that this time.
-Right. Then we should-- -Just leave it the way it is.
Yes, we'll just leave it the way it is.
All right, what's next?
About Ms. Ko's book that'll be adapted into an animated film in the US…
You mean, The Ugly Dog's Puppy?
Right.
They called and said
that they want to change the dog character to a cat.
Tell them to keep it as is. Otherwise, I'll annul the contract.
Mun-yeong, then we'll suffer big losses...
Then would you rather die?
Seung-jae! You think it's okay to turn a dog into a cat
without the author's permission? They're different species.
Tell them to stick to the original characters.
Are you leaving?
Make sure the signing event tomorrow ends within an hour.
The faster we get everything done, the better.
YOO SEUNG-JAE
Okay, Seung-jae?
Hello?
Uncle, I need you to do a background check on someone.
I know a police officer shouldn't do stuff like that.
Then do you know anyone who works at the National Intelligence Service
or at a private detective agency--
Hello?
Gosh, what do I do?
Thanks for your hard work.
You're so capable. I'm sad that you're leaving.
Gang-tae.
Someone's looking for you.
You hurt your hand.
I hurt it a little while working.
I'm all sweaty.
Jae-su told me that I'd be able to find you here.
I see.
I heard you're moving again.
You can leave whenever you want without being attached.
I envy you.
Have you decided which hospital to work at?
I'm sure I'll find something.
I'm not sure if it's good or bad,
but new psychiatric hospitals keep opening.
My hospital is looking for an experienced caregiver.
It's called OK Psychiatric Hospital.
Eight-hour rotating shifts.
You'll get ten days off each month,
so you can pick up a part-time job on the side if you'd like.
And you're a certified nursing assistant, so you'll get extra pay.
Where is the hospital?
In Seongjin City, our hometown.
You said you also lived there when you were little.
A bunch of areas have been redeveloped, so it no longer has that small-town vibe.
Also, a multiplex theater opened recently and...
Mom.
Mom!
Bring my mom back.
Mom.
Mom, no.
-Mom, open your eyes. -The butterfly did it.
I mean, I saw it.
-Mom! -The butterfly…
Mom, no.
-Mom, please open your eyes. -The butterfly
killed Mom.
The butterfly...
The butterfly killed her.
I saw it.
The butterfly did it.
Sang-tae! Tell us exactly what you saw.
Was it a man or a woman? How old?
What did this person look like? Did you hear the voice?
The butterfly said it'd kill me as well
if I didn't keep my lips sealed.
It said it'd chase me down
and kill me!
We should send the younger one to a care center
and his older brother to a center that takes care of handicapped children.
That would probably be best for them both.
Okay. We'll leave him in your hands.
Sang-tae, let's go.
Come on.
Where are we headed?
To a place where the butterfly can't find us.
Somewhere far?
Yes, far away.
You must be tired.
I could've come alone.
Get on the bus. You'll arrive very late.
Bye, then.
Hey, Gang-tae.
There's an empty room at my place.
I mean...
No one uses the room. My mom and I only use the first floor.
If you actually end up moving back to Seongjin City,
you won't have to look for a place.
Bye now, for real.
Thanks for your concern,
but I won't go there.
Why not?
Because it's a countryside?
Yes.
That's why.
Ju-ri, I don't know if you know this.
Gang-tae, that poor thing,
never builds deep relationships.
He'll leave eventually anyway,
so he thinks it's pointless to build a relationship that will only last a year.
Why…
Right,
but why does he have to leave?
It's because...
What's the reason?
You see, it's all...
It's all because of that damn butterfly.
Darn it.
"Butterfly"?
A butterfly?
See you again.
I don't think so.

BOOK SIGNING EVENT THIS WAY
My gosh, he's so tall.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Oh, no! It's cold!
Sang-tae! Don't run!
Look left and right. Be safe. Safety comes first.
Look at those blue pants. Blue jeans.
I'm so happy now.
My name is Lee Un-jae.
Thank you.
One, two…
-Oh, is this it? -My gosh!
Gosh! What are you doing?
-I'm sorry. -All right.
-Wait, Sang-tae. -Yes.
Sang-tae!
-Listen up. -Okay.
-You see the restroom over there, right? -Yes.
-You see it? -Yes.
When you're getting her autograph later,
I'll be watching you from exactly that distance,
-so get that woman's autograph-- -Ms. Ko Mun-yeong?
Right. After you get Ms. Ko's autograph
and take a picture with her, we'll head home right away.
-Then what will you get? -The dinosaur encyclopedia.
Don't run. Sang-tae!
-Let's go. -Slow down.
-Sang-tae. -What?
Wait in line.
-Wait here, okay? -Okay.
-I'll be over there. -Okay.
Okay, let's go.
I'm getting her autograph.
DO HUI-JAE'S POSTHUMOUS WORK
THE MURDER OF THE WITCH OF THE WEST
WRITTEN BY DO HUI-JAE
The mother is the queen of detective fiction.
Her daughter, children's literature.
They're quite something.
My goodness, what brings a busy man like you here?
I had to come to congratulate you on the new release.
As you know, I exclusively review and critique Ko Mun-yeong's books.
Right, that's true.
Seven of her books are in the top ten list of the best-selling children's books.
BOOKS OF THE MONTH
I have to say, it's impressive.
Do you think it's because of Ko Mun-yeong's looks?
Gosh, come on. It's not because of her looks.
She's a great writer.
All right, let's not stand around here.
Why don't we go somewhere and drink something sweet?
-Let's go. -Goodness, what's with you?
Come on. It's okay.
What's with you? I'm diabetic.
Come on. You'll be fine. Excuse us.
The sun is...
What time is it? What? I'm late!
What the fuck, 18 calls?
I'm so dead.
Shit, what do I do?
Jeez.
-Sang-tae, I have to take a call. -Okay.
-Stay right here. -Okay.
Gosh!
My, it's a stegosaurus. A real stegosaurus. Hi, stegosaurus.
-A stegosaurus. -My gosh.
This is a stegosaurus. It means "roofed lizard."
You don't need to come.
The plates.
It's characterized by the plates along the back.
They probably lived in the late Jurassic Period.
-Scientists… -What's wrong with him?
What's with you?
My gosh, this stegosaurus is huge!
It has a small brain despite its large size--
Get lost!
-My gosh. -Oh, no!
I have a toy that looks just like it.
Here, this looks just like it. This is my stegosaurus toy.
Its name is Teary--
-I've been too nice, right? -My hair.
-Get out. -My hair.
-My hair. Let go! -Get out.
-I said, get out! -My hair...
-Get out. -No, my hair!
Don't touch my hair!
My hair... Don't touch my hair.
My hair...
Don't touch my hair.
My hair! Don't touch my hair!
Don't touch my hair. Go away!
Sorry, excuse me.
-No, my hair... -Sang-tae, I'm sorry.
-My hair... -I'm sorry, Sang-tae.
-You're okay now. -I'm okay.
-It's okay. I'm sorry. -I'm okay.
-You're okay now, Sang-tae. -I'm okay now. I'm sorry.
I'm okay now.
I'm okay now. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Shall I help him?
Or not?
Shall I help him?
Or not?
Hey!
You need to apologize.
You.
Apologize.
-Why should I apologize to him? -No, to me.
What?
You totally ruined my book signing event.
Why is that my fault? This fucking--
Goodness!
Gosh!
Who wouldn't scream when someone grabs them by the hair like this?
See? You're screaming too.
Let go. I said, let go!
-Let go. -Listen.
This lunatic was harassing our son. What did you expect?
Shit. I'm so screwed.
Are you a psychiatrist? How do you know he's a lunatic?
Well, that's...
I can tell because he kept rambling on
about things that make no sense!
Crazy bitch.
-My gosh. -Did she really say that?
-What's with her? -What did you say?
Well, you kept rambling on about things that make no sense,
so I thought you were crazy.
My gosh. Honey, you heard that, right?
You all heard that, right? She swore at me just now.
What are you people doing? Record this!
Yes! Record a video!
-I'm speechless. -Film this!
I'm okay. I'm not a bad person.
I'm not a bad person.
INVENTORY
-Shouldn't you check on him? -He'll let me in when he's calmed down.
-When would that be? -Usually in an hour.
A day or two at the most.
I have to stay here all night then?
I never asked you to.
Don't worry. Just go sort out the situation.
"Don't worry"? Why would I worry? About whom?
By the way, the back of his head must be very sensitive.
Is that his erogenous zone or something?
Oh, it's like a detonator.
When it's set off, the bomb goes off. Then how does he get haircuts?
Will he go like this again? "No!"
Enough, okay?
Now, you're looking at me.
What are you doing?
Don't wear hats.
I can't see your pretty face.
Why is your face turning red?
Your forehead must be your erogenous zone, right?
Hey, Ms. Ko!
You caused trouble again.
Mr. Lee will be really stressed out this time.
Gosh, seriously!
Why does she get herself in trouble whenever I'm not around?
She acts up whenever that caregiver shows up.
Hey, if you knew that,
why didn't you make sure they wouldn't run into each other?
Gosh, why do I even pay you?
Hi, Reporter Kim.
Gosh, no. She never said, "Crazy bitch."
She said, "Gosh, this is driving me crazy."
People mishear things all the time, you know.
That fucking prick.
Your boyfriend?
My gosh, you're dating?
If you got those boxes, just shut up and leave.
Gosh, you look exactly like your mother now that you have a frown face.
Your mother was not only a great writer,
but she was also very sexy.
You have a lot in common with your mother.
Cut the nonsense and just leave.
Things might be great now,
but I advise you to be careful.
Her mother, who was a famous writer,
suddenly passed away.
And her father, a successful architect, went nuts
and got locked up in a psychiatric hospital.
Then what do you think will happen to you?
You won't end up well if you get involved with her.
Keep that in mind.
Let me go.
Don't go.
Do you like me?
Are you going to look after me? Do you think you can handle it?
Who are you to stop me?
I was right.
I knew you'd come after me.
I've been reading your books for quite a long time now.
You can easily see
how that writer thinks and feels through their writing.
Then I guess you also know what I'm going to do next.
Don't mess with me.
I won't go down alone.
I'll take you and Mr. Lee down with me.
Why do you think they call me the Suicide Bomber?
A jerk who never goes down without taking others with you?
I can destroy your career with the tip of my pen.
I'm sure you know that.
A famous children's book writer
actually turned out to have
an antisocial personality disorder?
What do you think will happen when people find out?
What do you want?
I'm starting to get tired and bored
of receiving these boxes.
I think it'd be nice
if you'd be kind enough to humor me
a little.
That's easy.
But I, too,
can attack you with the tip of my pen.
Goodbye.
911 EMERGENCY
You evil bitch!
You just wait! I swear I'll get rid of--
Loosen your neck, sir.
Damn, he should've just died.
Why do all jerks have a long lifespan?
Damn it.
Stop right there.
What are you doing?
Take in a deep breath.
Deeper.
-What-- -Close your eyes.
When you can't control yourself,
cross your arms like this
and take turns tapping on each shoulder.
This will help you calm down.
What is this?
The Butterfly Hug Method.
It's a self-healing technique that's recommended for trauma patients.
It's no fun to have you stand behind me.
A trauma
should be faced head-on like this instead of handling it from behind.
Why are you running away?
I'm going to my brother.
Slow down. My feet hurt.
Hey.
Hey!
Don't make me get angry. I'll explode.
That's why I taught you that.
That stuff is useless.
-I want you to be my safety pin. -What?
Keep me under control so that I won't explode.
You told me not to. You told me I had no right to stop you.
You hold grudges.
Yes, that's right.
So I'm giving you the right to be Ko Mun-yeong's safety pin.
-Why would I be your safety pin? -Because you're a caregiver.
Isn't it your job to care for potential patients?
Ask someone else.
I'll pay you a lot. How much do you want?
We always say this to patients who fully recover.
What's that?
"Hope I never see you again."
Please.
Let's not meet again.
I really want you to stop.
Stop following me.
But I'm not a patient.
"Hope I never see you again."
That's what you say to your patients. But I'm fine.
You're right.
You're different from patients.
Exactly.
Drugs and injections can't cure you.
You were just born that way.
So there's no way to treat you. And you have a poor prognosis.
It's just best
to avoid people like you.
You're not avoiding me.
You're just running away because you're scared.
You coward.
Hey.
Do you
still like me?
Coward.
Mun-yeong.
How are you going to deal with this?
There were tons of witnesses!
Why are you always ruining your own career?
What were you doing? Were you smoking?
-Yes. -My gosh, come on.
Mun-yeong!
Why don't you just kill me?
Sang-tae.
Are you upset that you didn't get her autograph?
If you are upset,
it makes my heart ache.
-Gosh, my stomach. -What's wrong?
-My stomach… -Your stomach, 911…
-My stomach… -Call 911.
Surprise!
The Dinosaur Encyclopedia.
The Dinosaur Encyclopedia!
The Dinosaur Encyclopedia.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm happy. I'm really happy.
Who do you like more, me or Ko Mun-yeong?
"Maiasaura means 'good mother reptile' in Latin.
It's a herbivorous dinosaur with a duck-like beak.
Dromaeosaurus' name means 'swift running lizard,'
and it got its name due to its fast speed.
It's about 35cm big when it hatches from the egg,
and it grows up to three meters in just a year. Maiasaura…
Maiasauras lived in herds and took care of their infants
until they grew up to about one meter.
Maisaura means 'good mother reptile.'
Bagacera... Bagaceratops.
It means 'small-horned face.' Bagaceratops."
What are you doing?
Don't wear hats.
I can't see your pretty face.
It's a reptile.
"Bagaceratops is a dinosaur with horns.
It has a small body and short tail.
Bagaceratops lived in the desert
and dug holes in the sand to lay eggs there.
A dinosaur with small horns.
A dinosaur with ghastly claws,
Baryo... Baryonyx."
PARAMEDIC
Check his vitals and blood pressure on your way there.
-What about the epinephrine? -I have some ready just in case.
And the medication list and medical history card?
Here.
Thanks. I'll be off now.
Let's get going.
Good luck.
"It is very nimble and fast.
Dromaeosaurus' name means
-'swift running lizard...'" -Sang-tae.
Sang-tae!
"Its body and tail…"
You shouldn't get distracted when you're walking.
Remember you got hit by a car and got hospitalized?
-Give it to me. -No!
Give me that. You can read it at home.
-Come on. -No.
-It's dangerous. -Look!
-Sang-tae! Don't run. -I'll be safe.
-It's dangerous. -Slowly.
-Look. -You can't fool me again. Give it to me.
Jae-su. It's Jae-su.
You know me, right?
Even a ton of beer can't make me get drunk.
But it's weird how I get so easily drunk whenever I drink with a woman.
A long time ago,
a wise man said,
"History is made at night with alcohol and a woman."
But my history
is going to be pitch dark.
Utterly dark.
-Jae-su. -Yes?
You should stop now.
Stop what?
Suffering from following us around.
Settle down and live comfortably.
Why do you care? That's up to me.
Who are you to decide what I do?
I'll decide whether to stop or not.
What's the matter with you?
Did something happen?
Why are you so sentimental?
That darn woman, Ko Mun-yeong.
That crazy woman did something again, didn't she?
-No. -Don't lie to me.
-No, she didn't. -She obviously did.
You never mean it when you say "no."
What did she do?
I thought I was on the run
because of my brother.
The butterflies and all.
I thought we were being chased by something that doesn't exist
all because of Sang-tae.
Well, it's true.
But today, for the first time,
I thought
maybe I was just running away
because I wanted to.
That's not true.
You see,
when life is unbearably hard,
the easiest way out is to run.
THE BOY WHO FED ON NIGHTMARES
This is Ms. Ko Mun-yeong's book.
Ko Mun-yeong.
Sang-tae, do you remember where we used to live when we were young?
-Where we used to live with Mom. -Seongjin City.
Right.
Should we
go live there?
-If you don't want to-- -Sure.
Are you really okay?
The Chinese restaurant there sells really good jjamppong.
It's at the entrance of the market. It has mussels and chili pepper in it.
-The broth tastes amazing. -Sang-tae.
It's the best.
You're really brave.
I'm a coward.
You're the younger brother. That's why you're a coward.
Because you're the younger brother.
Trust me. I'm the older brother, you can count on me.
Trust me. You can trust me.
-That's such a relief. -Yes.
Who is that? Is he your boyfriend in Seoul?
-What? -Go ahead and pick up.
MOON GANG-TAE
Hello?
Hey.
Yes.
BORN IN SEONGJIN CITY
"Seongjin City"?
No wonder.
Your eyes remind me of someone I used to know.
SANGSANGESANG PUBLISHERS
We know nothing about it.
It was a misunderstanding. All rumors.
We can't reach Ms. Ko either.
Yes. Just a second.
-Hello? -This fucking dumbass--
KO MUN-YEONG ABUSES AND SWEARS AT A FAN
My goodness.
-Let go of me. -Listen.
This lunatic was harassing our son. What did you expect?
Crazy bitch.
I thought you were crazy.
Didn't you...
collect all the CCTV footage from the bookstore?
This video was uploaded this morning on an online mothers' forum.

Don't you know this?
Oh, right.
What do you brats think a fairy tale is?
The brat on the back. You tell me.
-What did she say? -Did I hear it wrong?
-Don't you know? -It's okay, everyone.
It's how she calls all kids. Not a big deal.
-Kids are cute. Cute brats. -What?
What's the issue here?
-It's used in an affectionate way. -Are you kidding me?
Lovable brats, right?

The little girl wore her red shoes everywhere she went,
even to a God-fearing church.
Once you wear those shoes,
your feet start dancing on their own.
And you can never stop dancing
or take off those shoes.
But even so,
the little girl never gave up on those red shoes.
In the end, the executioner
had to cut off her feet.
But the two feet that got cut off
still continued to dance in those red shoes.
Some things can't be torn apart
no matter how hard you try to do so.
Don't tell me...
Yes, the ones in the rooms are fine.
But the lights in the lobby and the reception area are out.
Yes, okay.
That is why
obsession is noble and beautiful.
I have
finally found my red shoes.
Why
are you here?
Why do you think?
I came because I missed you.
How can you define a relationship
in just one word?
Please teach a class, Ms. Ko.
I'm Ko Mun-yeong. I'll be teaching this writing class.
I have no time to play with you.
Hypocrite. I know you want some fun.
I forget things these days.
Even Sang-tae.
-You're not running away. -You're making
me worried.
