I got it.
Put this over there. Right there.
This is the top.
-That's the top, okay?
-Okay.
Gosh.
Thanks for this.
You're welcome.
Get washed up and come have lunch.

NOTICE OF DELINQUENCY
It's never been this hot.
What's happening to this planet?
I can't wait for winter to come.
When it does,
you're going to wish it was summer again.
Let's remember how we're feeling right now
and use it when it gets cold.
We'll save it for winter.
You can just use your memories
from last winter right now then.
Didn't you save anything to remember?
VILLAGE BUS
Your letter's here.
I'll pick it up later.
I'm home.
What did Mr. Gu say to you?
It's not like him to say something first.
What did he say?
He has some of our plates to return.
I said I'd pick them up later.
I tell him to bring them over,
but he always forgets.
The table is set. Eat before you wash up.
I'll be heading out then.
-See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see you.
You know, my neighborhood really is great.
It's close to work
and it's a nice place to live.
I can show you around when you're free.
Yes, sure.
Just pick whatever day works for you.
I can always make time.
All right, see you.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Tell him to eat something
if he's going to be drinking like that.
I'm home.
Hey, you did a good job today.
Did you eat?
I left work when it was bright outside,
but it's already night.
My evening is gone.
Come and eat.
You'll feel better if you eat this.
I already finished three bowls.

Thank you.

I'll leave this here for now.
I can't keep it at my house.
Someone might see it.
The bank
refused have it sent anywhere
other than my registered address,
so I changed my address to here.
I'm sorry. I didn't have time to ask you.
Why does he want me to move
to his neighborhood? He has a girlfriend.
Because it's a nice place to live.
He's not into you.
But he shouldn't say that
to another woman.
Can't people with girlfriends tell others
how nice their neighborhood is?
That's not all he said.
He says I should move there.
Do you ask just anyone
to move to your neighborhood?
You fell for him already, didn't you?
It's because he told me
to move to his neighborhood.
I had no interest in him at all
before that.
Jerks who lead girls on for fun like him,
should all go extinct.
They should be straightforward like me.
If I don't like them,
I kick them to the curb--
Kick them to the curb?
What is this, a taekwondo match?
Look what you've done.
What?
Don't play dumb.
Thank you for dinner.
Sure, good night.
That's right. Seeing how…
-Yes. That was great.
-And with that he…
If a payment is over five days late,
my credit card will get suspended.
So I made this month's payment.
Call me.
I checked my lunch mates for today,
and Min h*-sik is there.

MIN h*-SHIK, MARKETING, ASSISTANT MANAGER
-Iced? Iced Americano?
-Yes.
I like iced Americanos too.
I don't think
the tables are randomly picked.
We're all people
who didn't sign up for any clubs.
I'm a member of a club though.
-You are?
-Yes.
Haven't you joined any?
No.
You two don't either?
No.
Why not?
I live too far away.
I see.
Where?
Sanpo.
It's near Suwon.
I see.
What about you, sir?
Who would want me in their club?
Two iced Americanos and a hot one, please.
What do you want, Ms. Bang?
IA, please.
And one IA, please.
They're now making lunch
uncomfortable too.
Do I have to know everyone here?
Why do I need to know
people in other departments?
It's hard enough with those in mine.
It's as if everyone here used to be
popular kids at school.
I'll never join any club.
-Bye.
-Bye.
My sister…
wanted me to tell you
that she was sorry about the other day.
Was she your sister?
Yes.
I see.
You don't look alike.
Thanks.
YSTAT RESEARCH
Isn't it Ms. Lee's turn
to do the emergency research?
I'll tell you later.
All right, let's head inside.
Hello, Ms. Yeom.
Yesterday, a well-known politician said
35-year-olds should no longer
be considered young
and that youth ends at the age of 29.
Some people consider his remarks
to be more anachronistic than others do.
I, for one, believe I'm still young
so I think it's absolutely preposterous.
I was just joking. Now.
We're all here today to figure out
at what age the general public
considers youth to be over.
Thank you for coming in
on such short notice.
I will relay a few things to keep in mind.
-Hello? I'm calling from Ystat…
-Hello? We are a research company…
…will not be used to make a profit,
and under Article 33
of the Statistics Act,
your information
will be kept confidential.
We'd appreciate it
if you could spare a moment of your time.
Park Jin-u broke up with Ms. Lee.
Well, she's not the first woman
he's dated at work.
Did she think they'd last longer?
Anyway, it's good.
Now that he's dated every woman here,
there isn't anyone left for him to date.
He'll be quiet for a while.
What age range
would you consider to be youth?
Rumor has it that he and a new girl
in the management are a thing.
Unbelievable.
Ms. Yeom, agent 37 keeps
on asking leading questions.
I think we should scrap all of their data.
Okay, I'll check.
Okay.
You didn't hear anything, okay?
Where's Hyeon-a?
She's coming with Mi-jeong.
It's been a long time
since you came out to Seoul, right?
You should've worn gold chains too.
Du-hwan.
Oh Du-hwan.
Don't ever meet
any girls during the summer.
You seriously smell.
Make sure you only see them in winter.
How could you be so cruel?
He lives alone.
He wouldn't know unless someone tells him.
Yes. Have a drink.
Toss that shirt out. I'm serious.
Once it starts to stink,
it'll never go away. Throw it away.
If I see it again, I'll burn it. I swear.
You've kept that for years
because it's designer.
No one would consider this designer.
A politician's comment
regarding the age of young people
has sparked controversy.
Currently, each local government
defines it differently.
In Seoul, it is considered that
youth ends at the age of 29,
but in Jeolla-do, it's 39,
and in Bonghwa-g*n,
North Gyeongsang-do, it's 49.
We asked the citizens of Seoul what
they considered to be the appropriate age
at which a person should
no longer be classified as youth.
And 56 percent of the respondents
answered that youth should be
between the ages of 19 to 29.
-If youth is defined to be…
-I just don't get it.
Is he addicted
to dating people at work or what?
Can't he find a girl anywhere else?
I guess Park Jin-u
has found himself a new girl.
I feel like I know him now
because you talk so much about him.
It's not just him.
It's the girls that I have
a harder time understanding.
They all know who he's been with.
He's already dated
a bunch of girls at work.
Why do they still go out with him?
Why do they want to belittle themselves
by becoming another one of his girls?
I really don't get it.
You don't have to get it.
It's you that I don't get.
They're fine with having a casual fling.
How is it any of your business?
And how is that belittling?
Then have the girls I've dated
belittled themselves too?
From my point of view,
they're like one of the girls I've dated.
I mean,
does everyone need to be like you
and only ever love one person,
or pretend they're the only person
they've ever been with?
They live in a different world from yours.
So just leave them to enjoy themselves.
They're all happy and having a blast.
They don't care what others think.
You can bad-mouth them,
but they just don't care.
Why hasn't he ever asked me out?
You've got to be kidding me.
He dates everyone, so why did he skip me?
I'm sure Jin-u has his own taste in women.
I'm at least in the top ten at work.
Out of how many women? Are there like 20?
He's even dated
someone way less attractive than I am.
So why won't he date me?
See?
When I hit her with the facts,
she just ignores me and keeps going.
You should've become a politician.
Some of them may be prettier than me,
but none of them are as charming as me.
It's true. I think I'm pretty awesome.
I'm a woman who has a lot of charm.
Hey, drink up. Let's just drink.
Why aren't the girls here yet?
You know, I…
I'm embarrassed
that you're my older sister.
I feel you, Gi-jeong.
I can see why you're offended.
Yes.
This may not be the right time to ask,
but that girl in your office with
"nasty, nasty, nasty" all over her face,
Park Jin-u's dated her too, right?
I knew it.
It's just as expected.
I bet she has a beautiful face.
Right?
I am 100 percent sure she's pretty.
And I think she's not just pretty
but also pretty charming.
Hey.
I'm in front of the statue in the square.
Where are you?
Over here!
You got off late today.
So we could go together.
Let's go.
Hold on.
That jerk…
Who is it?
Nobody. Let's go. Who's there?
-Hey, they're here.
-Right.
-Hey!
-Hey, guys.
Hey.
You're so late.
What took you so long?
Sorry.
Someone here has been a serious buzzkill.
-Why?
-You should've come sooner.
-Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Hyeon-a
Happy birthday to you
Cheers.
Bottoms up.
Here, try some of this.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
What do you mean there are no guys?
There's a bunch right here.
It's because you look for
someone who's worth 80 points.
And even if you do find him,
you grill him about the 20 points he lacks
while you look for someone better.
That's what you do.
Love is not for everyone.
Don't kid yourself.
I mean, I go out with guys who are
worth 20 points because I like them.
What's wrong with 20 points?
That's 20 points above zero.
If I get lucky and meet someone
who's worth 30 points, I'm just grateful.
And if it's 40points,
then I've hit the jackpot.
I mean, I'd understand
if you're worth 80 points yourself.
Do you want me to be honest
and tell you how many points you're worth?
Should I be brutally frank?
Hey.
I'm just saying,
you could use a little self-awareness.
Everyone else knows you except for you.
Besides, you're not going to do it anyway.
You're not going to love just anyone.
That's enough. Why are you being so mean?
And why are you guys
letting Gi-jeong do this to herself?
Mi-jeong. Why did you let it come to this?
You're at fault too.
Knock some sense into her.
Hey.
Why are you so upset anyway?
We all waited for you
to celebrate your birthday.
They came all the way here from Sanpo.
Do you want to stop seeing
your hometown friends?
Were we too dense to notice?
It's not that.
Then what?
It's her birthday.
Cut her some slack, okay?
Hyeon-a can do
whatever she wants to do today.
Be as crabby as you want!
I'm going to break up with my boyfriend.
Why?
Forget it. I'm not even interested.
It's not the first time.
He says he's going to buy a bed…
when we've been together
for over two years.
I mean, you know beds aren't cheap.
I'm supposed to buy one when we
get married, so why would he buy it?
It didn't occur to him
because he's not planning to marry me.
Maybe he's just rich.
Yes.
That jerk has no money.
And it's not even a double, it's a single.
An 800,000-won single bed.
That's crazy, isn't it?
He wants to be single forever, right?
-And he's 43 years old.
-Right.
You want to get married?
Of course.
Can't I get married just because
I prefer open relationships?
I'm open to anything.
I'm up for anything.
We've been together for two years.
But even after two years,
he still doesn't think I'm the one.
Just ask him
if he's going to marry you or not.
No, why would I do that?
By the way, who has he been talking
to for so long?
Is he on bad terms with his girlfriend?
They broke up.
They already broke up.
Who is it then?
It must be Byeon Sang-mi then.
Some convenience store owner.
She's the type of woman
who calls you whenever
and yammers on for an hour
complaining about her husband,
her son, and so on.
You've got to be kidding me.
I hope somebody rescues him.
Hey! Why would you go in there?
Hey. What are you doing?
We're breaking up!
How could you ditch your girlfriend
to talk to another woman for an hour?
Just go out with her instead then!
People are
so good with words.
Once you reach a certain point,
you start playing with your words.
And once you start to enjoy drawing
attention to yourself with your words…
there's no turning back.
Do you think there's even a single thing
coming out of my mouth
that's actually worthwhile?
There isn't. Not one.
So I don't
want you to ever reach that point.
It feels like I'm taking a detour
because I'm too afraid
to walk on the right path.
But I've come so far away
that I can't even dare to turn back.
I like
that you don't try to get attention
from people with your words.
That's why each and every word
you utter is so special.
If I ever get to be born again,
I want to be born as you, Hyeon-a.
I was like you in my previous life
and decided to live recklessly
if I were born again. And that's me now.
Then I'll realize
that this isn't right either
and decide to have a quiet life
the next time around.
And that's you.
You and I have been switching
back and forth millions of times.
Why are you acting so naive?
I want all of us to be happy.
As bright and cheery as a sunny day.
Without so much as a crease in our hearts.
WE WILL BE WITH YOU 365 DAYS A YEAR
Hello.
You want to add more shelves?
MANAGER BYEON SANG-MI
God, it's cold. Aren't you cold?
I think you set the temperature too low.
Well, adding a shelf to everything
won't really work.
You still need
to be able to see the mirror.
So how about just doing
this one and that one?
I think about 30cm should do it.
Hey, did you really break up
because of me?
It was about time we did anyway.
Don't worry about it.
What have I done?
Why don't I call your girlfriend
and try to explain things?
Which works better for you,
the 25th or the 27th?
For the maintenance team to come.
Hello?
Yes.
I see.
The plastic chair was spinning around
because of the wind
and dinged that car all by itself.
The owner said I'd have to sell
this store if I was to pay for it.
Jeez, what a load of crap.
He said his car was…
I've never even heard of it before.
I thought my life was over then.
Call me when something like that happens.
Insurance covers all of that.
You looked like a god to me
at that moment.
Jeez, seriously.
Mr. Yeom, we have to
stick it out together until the end.
I'll replace the table with a wooden one
with benches attached.
Thank you so much.
Mr. Yeom.
You and I have to
stay partners forever, okay?
-Did you get the health certificate?
-Right.
I told you you need to have it
to put a coffee machine in the store.
I just don't have the time.
Can you ring this up?
Sure.
Why did you come? It's raining.
Wait, hang on.
-Can I help you find something?
-Wet wipes.
They're over there, right there.
Okay.
We'll take this too--
That'll be 9,000 won.
We should hurry and get out of Seoul.
Have a good day.
Are you working?
What are you doing here?
There are no cameras around here,
so I'm just k*lling time.
Did you have lunch?
Expired food.
Aren't you sick of it?
Not yet.
I wish I could work in an office.
I want to sit inside a building
where it's quiet even if
there's a thunderstorm going on outside.
We've been working like this
for eight years.
If neither of us
makes team leader this time,
let's just quit.
We'll make it this time.
We have to.
-See you later.
-Bye.
-Isn't it great?
-How many tickets did he give you?
-Five.
-Five?
I've never won 5,000 won on the lottery.
-This is amazing.
-Seriously. I've never--
I guess Mr. Park gave that to you.
Yes.
You're the new hire
with the management team, right?
Yes. Nice to meet you.
He said he was gifting you excitement
when he gave it to you, right?
That you'd be excited on Saturday.
How did you know that?
There isn't a single girl here
who hasn't received a lottery ticket
from Mr. Park.
Why does he always give them
on Mondays and not Fridays?
He wants you to think about him
all week whenever you look at your ticket.
It's such a cheap move, don't you think?
It costs 5,000 won.
But it still makes you pretty excited.
On the weekend, you suddenly go,
"Right, the lottery ticket."
Isn't that right?
Right.
Apparently, he spends at least
50,000 won on lottery tickets every week.
Isn't he a pretty good boss?
I like it better than coffee.
Again, he's given
lottery tickets to everyone but me.
He's given them to married women
and new employees.
He's given them to everyone but me.
Just ask him straight up
why he keeps on leaving you out.
I just want to get a call from anyone…
and talk about anything.
You've been talking all this time.
You talk all the time.
You still want to talk more?
I've never said
what I really wanted to say.
I don't want to just say things
to feel like I exist.
I want to talk to relax.
A conversation…
Words that make you feel relaxed.
I say I want to have sex,
but the truth is,
I want to talk with a man.
Yes.
Why are you asking about Chan-hyeok?
I want to ask him something
but I can't reach him.
He's been borrowing money here and there,
so things have gotten awkward
for everyone.
I had a bad feeling when he started
to boast about starting his own business.
I heard he closed his business
and went to Thailand.
He couldn't carry on here
because of his bad credit.
And who did he go to?
I bet he went to Se-yeong.
Some say Se-yeong suggested it first.
They broke up and got back together
over and over. Now it's come to this.
But why do you need to talk to him?
It's nothing.
Come on, tell me.
It's nothing.
Don't tell me
you went out with him.
Of course not.
He walked me to my house.
But he's… What do I do
if he's not replying anymore?
You'll find out in the end.
I have a blind date.
He's a dermatologist.
-What if he keeps staring at my skin?
-No way.
It was great when we were eating.
He even took me home.
-But he won't return your texts?
-Correct.
Maybe he doesn't check his phone.
Please, in this day and age?
Hey.
Should I text him again?
Should I text him?
Hey, isn't Mi-jeong adorable?
-She is.
-Yes.
She's so cute.
She's cute.
She's very cute.
When I was in the first grade,
I once scored 20 out of 100 on a test.
I was told to get
my parents' signatures on the test.
I couldn't bring myself to show them.
And whenever I looked at my bag,
my heart felt heavier than a rock.
I had to get it signed
but I couldn't show them.
Something I had to figure out
but couldn't bring myself to.
I wonder why
I'm reminded of that right now.
I don't know what I should be
more embarrassed about.
Is it me, the fool
who lent money to some guy?
Or is it him, the guy who couldn't
pay back the money he owes to a girl?
Or is it
the fact that he ran off
to his ex-girlfriend?
I can't tell which of the three
is the test paper I'm trying to hide.
Maybe…
it's just me who's worth 20 points.
Oh, dear. What are we going to do
about all this blood?
Good heavens. Gosh, are you okay?
Oh, dear. This is terrible.
Absolutely terrible.
What's taking him so long?
-Come on, Mr. Gu. Let's get you up.
-Oh, God. Here.
Here we go. Put your shoes on.
Oh, good heavens.
Be careful.
-Gosh.
-Oh, my God.
Oh, dear.
Get back inside. I'll see you later.
Be careful.
SANPO SINKS
Oh, dear.
How terrible.
My goodness.
I went to get him for dinner,
and he woke up
with a bruise and blood on his face.
I asked him what happened,
and he didn't even know.
He must have gotten drunk and tripped.
He was too drunk to feel anything
and just passed out.
He was drunk all winter, wasn't he?
We just barely turned him
into a decent human being,
then he does this
the very moment he gets a day off.
It's not as though we can give him work
when there isn't any work to give.
What did he use to do?
How would I know?
He doesn't give me
a straight answer when I ask him.
I asked his name,
and he hesitated to tell me.
I asked him what I should call him,
and he just said, "My last name is Gu."
Maybe he's in hiding here.
Don't look after him too much.
We don't even know who he is.
I'm sure he's not a bad person.
He probably had
something bad happen to him.
I doubt he'd do something bad.
He's probably the victim.
So-ra's grandma calls me all the time
to go and check on Mr. Gu.
She's just worried that someone might die
in the house she's renting out.
She said he paid a year's rent upfront.
This town
isn't dramatic enough for someone
as young as him to suddenly drop dead.
In my entire life,
all I've ever seen happen here
is old people dying and floods in summer.
Nothing big happens around here.
Nothing at all.
He is impossible.
He bought alcohol again.
AMERICANO
Hey, are you going to Guam too?
Guam? What are you talking about?
I was upset because I thought you were
also going but weren't telling me.
Su-jin, Ji-hui, and the girls
are going to Guam for vacation.
They'd stop chatting whenever I showed up.
Why would they keep it a secret?
It's offensive.
As if we'd tag along.
But I thought you and Su-jin
were quite close.
I don't have money for that.
-It's very nice.
-You have it here too.
It's so pretty.
I wish they were longer.
Do you know a good place?
It's beautiful. I love it.
Yours look nice too.
They look great on you.
-Thanks.
-Really?
I messed up so many times.
Damn it.
Oh, for God's sake.
EMPHASIZE
JOY SUPPORT CENTER
I've found the perfect club
for you, Ms. Yeom.
A recital club.
"Recital."
It rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?
I like it
when a word matches exactly how it sounds.
"Recital."
It somehow sounds lonely and aloof.
It's the perfect word for it.
This club has been formed recently
by three employees
from the engineering department.
I thought of you immediately
as soon as I saw it.
"She should join the recital club."
"Ms. Yeom is perfect
for the recital club."
I don't think I can do it.
Sorry?
It's exhausting.
Okay.
Right, sure.
You live far away and all.
I'm exhausted.
I don't know
when it all started to go wrong,
but I'm exhausted.
Every relationship
feels like work.
Every moment that I'm awake…
feels like work.
Nothing ever happens.
No one ever likes me.
Why do you drink every day?
What else would I do?
Should I give you something to do?
Should I give you something
to do other than drink?
Worship me.
I've never felt whole before.
One as*h*le after another…
Every guy I've ever dated was an as*h*le.
So worship me and make me feel whole.
It'll be winter soon.
Nothing survives when winter comes.
There will be nothing to see sitting there
and no work at the factory.
If you drink all day,
you'll only feel like crap.
It'll be like hell.
You have to do something.
I want to feel whole for once.
So worship me.
Love isn't enough.
Worship me.

MY LIBERATION NOTES
Let's at least say hi from now on.
I don't want to do anything with anyone.
How did the blind date go?
…the severed head of her husband.
I stand by my man and never betray him.
I protect him.
Just live alone.
Should I go?
Why wouldn't there be when he's a drunk?
I was drunk and crossed the line.
You and Mr. Gu are close.
Have you guys even talked?
This crappy life with these crappy people.
Were you talking to me?
I feel trapped.
How about we actually do it?
-So what are the three of you going to do?
-I'm going to break free.
If you call Se-yeong,
you can forget about the money.
You lent money to a guy, didn't you?
