01x07 - Does Death Mean The End?

Post by bunniefuu »

Be quiet. How dare you

raise your voice here?

Stop lying through your teeth.

-Hey.

-Who are you?

-Hey!

-You scumbag!

-Hey.

-Get off me!

-Calm down.

-You almost punched me.

-What?

-Be quiet!

-What did you say?

-I'd love to get

settlement money

and live a comfortable life.

Seriously. She'd better watch out.

Once I find the girl that reported me,

I'm going to punch

What

Say that again. What did you say?

-What did you say?

-Mr. Jin, no!

Don't do that.

I should've just

k*lled her back then.

Please don't do anything. Please.

Darn it, man. Good grief.

Darn it.

Darn it. What a load of crap.

Did you all just see that?

I'm never going to settle!

There are security cameras here,

so you all better make this right.

Call the police again.

You need to shut your mouth!

Let me make this clear.

Your sentence will go up

every time you say another word.

-You brat

-Special robbery and injury

gets you over three and a half years

and up to seven years.

And you were released

from prison last year.

If you're convicted again

within three years

of your previous crime,

you can be sentenced up to ten years

or for life.

Your crime was caught

on these cameras you love.

Throw in your footprints, fingerprints,

and DNA.

There are millions of reasons

to throw you in prison.

However, you must know

my witness statement

as the victim is the most essential.

Thankfully, I'm acquainted

with many doctors.

Depending on your attitude,

my diagnosis could look very different.

Let me explain it to you once again

in case you didn't understand.

Depending on what I say,

you may never see the light

of day as a free man again.

Do you get it?

Yes

Where's my money?

I'm sure you have some left.

-Well, the thing is

-Did you use all of it?

I mean, yes.

If only the detective came

just a minute later.

I would've had the winning hand.

You saw my cards too, right?

Together with the other cards,

I would've won.

It was the strongest hand.

I told you to be quiet.

-You! How dare you blow my money?

-Hold her back!

I had to pay my staff with that!

How dare you?

Hey, let go. Get off of me! Let go of me!

You, come here!

No matter how angry you are,

you can't do that here.

If you're unlucky,

you could be charged with as*ault.

And if this gets reported

to the Human Rights Commission,

it'll get really messy.

I'm sorry.

The same goes for you and your boyfriend.

Try to tone it down a little.

My boyfriend?

That guy who did the flying kick.

He's not my boyfriend.

-Is he your older brother?

-No.

If he's not your boyfriend

or older brother,

then why did he make a huge scene

in the middle of a police station?

You people will get in serious trouble.

I'm sorry.

Try to lose your temper, okay?

All right, then.

Goodbye

Look at this.

You were a police officer?

It's unbelievably nice to see you here.

What's your relationship with her?

Do you ask random questions like that

out of habit or because of your vocation?

What relationship?

What's your relationship with Da-li?

Da-li?

Yes, famous people are our friends.

Think about it.

I'm friends with Byung-hun,

Woo-sung, and Bin too.

I wonder when Son will come back.

We should grab a meal sometime.

Aren't you going to answer me?

Look at you.

She's not someone you can talk about

whenever you want.

Won-tak.

-Hey, are you done?

-Yes.

How do you know my Won-tak?

My

My Won-tak?

Do you two know each other?

Not really.

-He's just

-He's my tenant.

He lives on the rooftop of my building.

I thought you were living alone.

What's it to you if I live alone or not?

It's because

my upstairs neighbor was way too loud.

I see. I heard noise issues

were very serious here.

I hear there are people who aren't

considerate in their communities.

I told you that my landlord is a crazy

Why do you have things on your face?

I see. You're my Won-tak's landlord.

I hope you treat him well.

He's a vigorous, young man.

I hope he hasn't been too noisy.

I told you. He has been.

And that's why I couldn't sleep.

What are you talking about?

That's because the house is

He says he's sorry

and that he'll be more careful.

-When did I say that?

-Are we done introducing ourselves?

Let's go home.

Thank you for everything, Mr. Jin.

Goodbye then.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Who is he?

Be quiet. I'll explain back home.

Don't tell anyone that we're living

together for the time being.

-That we're living

-Be quiet.

Where do you think you're going?

Sorry?

Shouldn't you go to the museum?

What about the exhibition?

You have several matters to take care of.

Right

It was nice seeing you. I should go now.

I don't know where you live, but until

we meet again, watch your mouth

Watch the amount of noise you make.

What?

Hey, Da-li

What?

What?

Later

What's your relationship

with your Won-tak?

What?

You two seem to have

a special relationship.

Well. I guess that's true.

It's a long story.

You must've gone through

more than 3,000 geops.

How much? 5,000 geops?

Or 6,000 geops? 7,000 geops?

Look

My Won-tak is a kindhearted

and decent guy.

He has a sense of justice, is law-abiding,

and is honest.

Most of all,

he's a part of the Violent Crimes Unit,

so thieves tend to avoid him.

So in a way, you have yourself

a free security service.

He's a great fighter too.

It's so reassuring to have him

by your side.

What is he? A bodyguard?

I'm just saying

that there's no better tenant than him.

He's often on duty or stakeouts.

He's so easygoing

that he rarely takes showers.

How great is that?

You'll save on utilities.

-You talk as if you live with him.

-Sorry?

You're such a hilarious man, Mr. Jin.

I'll also warn him

about the noise issues so

I get it.

I can take care of my own tenant,

so can you please stop talking

about your Won-tak?

My ears are about to bleed.

I'm sorry.

How are your knuckles?

They're fine.

I should've beaten him to a pulp.

But you hugged me from behind.

-What?

-You startled me.

People were watching, you know?

I wasn't hugging you, I was stopping you

from causing a bigger mess.

I see.

You were being quite passionate.

That's why you should've just left

instead of causing a misunderstanding.

That's because

That's because

I was

I was going to ask

about a gukbap restaurant.

-Sorry?

-There's always a tasty gukbap place

near a police station.

I was just doing some research.

Did you think I went there because of you?

Also, you should never talk

like you did back there

even if you're surrounded

by police officers.

Do you have any idea

how dangerous those men can be?

-I know very well.

-What?

You may not believe it

since he's turned into a great guy.

But when my Won-tak

used to be a troublemaker,

my dad and I popped by the police station

quite often.

You and your Won-tak again.

We met all kinds of criminals

from petty pickpockets

to g*ng leaders.

I probably know more about them

than you do.

I'm aware that I have a pretty face,

but don't let it fool you.

Did you forget the tiger tattoo I had

all over my body?

My nickname is Majang-dong

Those were stickers.

Who said that?

A few of its fangs and claws were erased.

Did you forget what happened

in the Netherlands?

During the blackout?

You said you had forgotten everything,

but I guess you still remember

every little detail.

Right. How could you possibly forget?

I have a k*ller body.

A k*ller body?

Why are you laughing?

I'm not.

I definitely heard you laughing.

You're mistaken.

A k*ller body?

A k*ller

I think you went a bit overboard there.

A k*ller body?

I think that's enough.

I'm sorry.

DEBTOR: KIM NAK-CHEON

JANG TAE-JIN

DONDON F&B ORGANIZATION CHAR

DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK

DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK

He's oddly annoying me.

Dondon F&B may be a company now,

but he's a nouveau riche

who got his start in a marketplace.

The same goes for his father

and stepmother.

They're just low,

money-hungry individuals.

Once he gets his money,

he'll be out of her hair.

There's nothing to worry about.

How much is the debt?

I heard it was two billion won.

Two billion won?

Is he trying to seduce Da-li

with that excuse?

He may be ignorant,

but I'm sure he knows better than that.

It's none of your business.

And we don't have that relationship.

Mr. Jin?

Why are you standing there?

You need to pay for this.

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Why did he borrow money from those people

and cause this much trouble for her?

Not only is he conceited

but narrow-minded as well.

I'd like to meet this guy.

You want to meet with him?

Please handle it with care.

There was a problem

with the electrical wires,

so it took some time to fix them.

I'm afraid we'll have to pull

an all-nighter.

Is everything going as planned

with the catering service?

About that, we've yet to figure out

the number of guests we're having.

You haven't checked with our VIPs yet?

Well

Hello

Will Mr. Jang be attending

the opening ceremony?

I see. His schedule isn't out yet?

Sorry?

Minister Choi?

I was wondering

if Minister Choi would be attending.

He's out right now?

Then when do you think

you can get back to us?

It must be because of that news article.

They asked us who would be attending.

And said they would attend

if the other was attending.

They're just trying

to gauge the guest list.

It'd be great if an important figure

like Director Jang

would encourage them to attend.

But he has a business trip

on the day of our opening.

Well, I meant we need celebrities

to attend the opening

to get the word out

so that a lot of people would come

after the opening.

Proceed with the number of guests

we planned initially.

-We can't disrespect our guests.

-Okay.

-Move out of my way.

-Goodness. Mr. Kim!

Gosh. What are you doing?

I called dibs on it first!

-Seriously?

-Gosh.

-This spot was empty.

-Come on.

So you can just call dibs

to make it yours?

-I told you to move!

-Goodness.

-Wait. What's going on?

-Gosh.

This section belongs to Ms. Hong Ja-yeong.

-I heard she pulled out.

-What? No, she didn't.

-Hey, can't I take this spot?

-Yes?

This is the main spot.

A piece deserving of the spotlight

ought to be displayed.

Besides, mine is about

the same size as hers.

-The size?

-Yes.

So only the size matters?

Not the actual artwork?

The artwork must represent

the group exhibition.

Exactly. That's why it must be mine.

Given my international fame

and well-received artistic quality.

-Everyone's artwork is great.

-Artistic quality?

Artistic quality?

Ms. Yang, how many solo exhibitions

have you opened so far?

Who cares about solo exhibitions

where the artist sponsors himself?

What about you, Mr. Kim?

Were you invited

to the Biennale this year?

-What?

-Goodness.

-Ms. Yang.

-My gosh.

-I guess you weren't.

-Everyone was invited.

You really weren't invited.

-Your artwork is famous.

-Goodness.

Are you guys sure

you want this spot?

Yes

Well, we'd love to install

your piece, Mr. Kim.

But the color of the wall

and your piece have the same color.

So your artwork might not stand out.

Well, you should repaint the wall.

Tomorrow is the opening.

There isn't enough time for that.

Then, why don't you display mine?

We'd be grateful to install

your artwork too.

But right next to this spot

Right?

You'll go back

to your initial spots, right?

That section is the best for your art.

They are usually very polite.

But they get sensitive

right before the exhibitions.

So we haven't heard from Ms. Hong yet?

Ms. Song went to see her,

but seeing how she didn't call

Shouldn't we look for another artist now?

Where is her studio?

Her studio?

What brings trash here?

DONDON GAMJATANG

I'm here to clean up my own crap.

What nonsense is this?

"My mess is my duty."

What?

Since I made this mess, I'll clean it up.

That's my principle.

What a load of garbage.

What a load of garbage.

Mr. Jin.

My goodness. What on earth is happening?

She needs to let me in first

for me to offer her anything.

Gosh. I've been waiting by her house

for three hours.

I'm just taking a break.

But I realized

that I came here empty-handed.

So I'm going to buy some fruit

What?

You're coming here now?

We need to fix this in two hours.

We are literally running out of time

and don't have another alternative.

Okay

Actually

there was a real reason behind her anger.

The first piece

in The Living and The Dead series

was inspired by thoughts

of her late mother.

And that stupid man

called her precious art

trash and garbage.

Gosh. You guys are such a nuisance

to no end.

Ms. Hong.

As for the incident this morning

I bet you're sorry, feel awful about it,

have nothing to say, and so on.

I got it. Let's cut to the chase.

What did you bring me?

-Pardon?

-Pardon?

After all, this is your first exhibition

as the new director.

And then you created this disaster.

So I doubt that you would come here

empty-handed.

I'm curious to find out what you are going

to offer me.

We'll handsomely compensate

for the damage we caused.

The insurance company

will take care of that.

You said you were interested

in the artist-in-residence program

sponsored by Hamilton Foundation

in New York.

I'm fully booked until next year.

I'm not sure

if I'll be available for that.

I see. Okay.

Then

What about a solo exhibition?

We'll prepare your solo exhibition

as soon as we're done

with this group exhibition.

We can't purchase your artwork right away,

but we'll make sure that we do.

And we'll put our best people

for the art brochure.

Will there be a next time with you?

I thought this would be

your last exhibition.

Ms. Hong.

We will hold an exhibition within a year.

As long as you're happy with us,

I'd like to prepare

your future exhibitions myself

at Cheongsong Museum of Art.

I see.

I read somewhere

that people even kneel

to get what they want.

I see. But you are a lady

from high society,

so kneeling in front of others

comes at a great price.

Ms. Hong.

If I kneel, will you agree to our terms?

If you make demands,

you're not asking, you're bargaining.

Ms. Hong. You don't like

this kind of behavior.

Why are you so harsh today?

If this can help you feel better,

I don't mind kneeling in front of you.

I'm really sorry

about today's incident.

Ms. Kim, please don't do that.

-Come on, Ms. Hong.

-Forget it.

I was just joking.

Don't take it so seriously.

Right. It must've arrived by now.

What kind of spell did you put her under?

What made her come around?

This is amazing.

-Thank you.

-Okay.

Sir, let me carry that.

Sorry

No. Don't worry.

Everything is good.

-Gosh. Go help him.

-What?

The third piece

of The Living and The Dead series

has arrived.

Shouldn't you get going?

Thank you so much, Ms. Hong.

I didn't do it to get a thank-you.

If the museum closes,

it'll be bad news for the artists.

So you must keep your promise. Okay?

You promised to hold

my exhibitions next year,

and the year after that, and so on.

It would be an honor.

Ms. Hong.

You're the best.

Let's hurry.

If we want to finish installing

before the opening,

we are short on time.

-Let's go.

-By the way.

Who was that trashy character

this morning?

He's not well-versed in art,

but he's not a bad person.

Actually, Cheongsong is indebted to him.

How funny.

I asked who he was,

not whether he was a good person.

Well

Incongruity within congruity.

You two go well together.

Wait up!

This is Mr. Jin's office from Dondon F&B.

Where?

Jang Tae-jin?

He said he would grant you

the chance to meet him

if you let him know when you're available.

Grant me?

He wants to talk about the debt

that Cheongsong owes.

Wasn't what I predicted right on

the money this time?

What was it that you predicted?

I told you.

I think Segi Group

will pay back your money.

Who does he think he is?

He's dying to pay it.

He wants to flex.

Two billion won

means nothing to Segi Group.

Especially now that their biggest obstacle

Kim Nak-cheon has died,

two billion is less than nothing.

That means

we don't have to do anything either.

Isn't it great?

When do you want to meet him?

As early as possible, I assume?

Tonight?

I'm busy.

Tomorrow night?

I'm busy tomorrow as well.

The day after tomorrow?

I said I was busy!

I don't have time to meet that dude!

And if he wants to see me,

make him come here.

Who is he to order me to come?

I have money too!

But an opportunity like this

doesn't come often.

Understood

-What's that?

-Right.

It's the first piece of Hong Ja-yeong's

The Living and The Dead series

you purchased.

This is it? Just this?

The explanation of her artwork

and a description

of how the piece came

to be can be found inside.

They also said the first piece of

"The Living and the Dead" series

would be unavailable for exhibition,

publication, or photography

anywhere without your consent.

Now you're a real collector.

You're throwing it away?

That's a lot of money.

I

I can't believe

I bought a 100-million-won

piece of trash!

What's wrong with him?

Someone's calling you.

Aren't you going to answer?

Who is it?

Three-thousand gaps?

3,000 GEOPS

Wait, it's 3,000 Geops.

Give it.

Jin Mu-hak speaking.

Put it here!

Everything worked out well.

I know you've been worried.

Well

A bit.

You have many things to worry about.

You shouldn't be worried

about me worrying.

That makes me worried.

That shouldn't go there.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry, even though it's late.

Are you coming

to the opening ceremony tomorrow?

Of course!

I'll be there no matter what,

so you just wait.

Okay

I'm not sure what happened.

I thought she would never change her mind.

By the way, will Ms. Hong do

the opening ceremony performance herself?

I think so.

We can't get anyone

since we're short on time.

Sir

Why are all the plastic bags

-Come down.

-Oh my.

Goodness

Is everything all right?

This is way too crumpled!

Make it stay exactly like this.

No, I mean

We have issues

with the direction of the monitors.

I was following the design

You read it wrong.

-I didn't

-Look.

Please stay within the line.

No, it's too close.

Move it slightly this way. Good.

Who's in charge of this?

Hurry up!

Three per table, please.

Over there.

This is wrong.

This one has to face that way.

Let's put it back down.

Ms. Kim?

Are you ready?

Yes

Hello

Are the VIP guests not here yet?

They all got the invitation,

so they will surely send someone

even if they can't make it.

Don't worry too much.

Everything will be fine.

The fact that we opened

is already incredible.

Honestly, I didn't think we could make it.

It has to go well.

We've all been through so much

since Director Kim's passing.

Here we are.

Did you even advertise the event?

Where is everyone?

Can a place really fall

this far from grace?

Isn't this so odd?

Let's go home. This must be it.

Where is everyone?

How is it possible

that not a single person showed up?

Where is that idiot?

The one time we need him, he's not here.

Where is he?

We have to do something.

Everyone, call who you can.

Wait

There!

What?

What are you waiting for?

Places, everyone!

Let's go.

They're coming.

Look here, please.

Over here.

Welcome

Look here, please.

Can you look here one more time?

Over here.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

-Oh my.

-Look here.

-Look over here, please.

-Thank you.

-Over here.

-Hello.

-Thank you for coming.

-This way, please.

Could you please wave your hand?

-Hello.

-Thank you for coming.

-Over here.

-Please look over here.

-Please look over here.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Please wave your hands.

-Look over here.

-Thank you for coming. Hello.

-Thank you.

-Please look here.

-Please look over here.

-Hello.

Please show them the way.

Please look over here.

-Please show us a smile.

-Look over here.

-Look over here.

-Wave your hand.

Could you make hearts?

-All right!

-Thank you.

-Could you wave again?

-Thank you.

You can go in this way.

-You should say hi to him too.

-Thank you.

Darn it, where are all these people

coming from?

Darn it.

Hey, get me a straw.

Get me a straw!

Look over here.

You'll see works by Choi Jeong-hwa.

As you can see here, he made this

by using household items.

You can see the philosophy

behind this artist's work.

Look, that's ELRIS. An idol group.

Ham Yeon-ji is here too.

She has over a million followers.

Anyway, did we send an invitation

to ELRIS and Ms. Ham?

-Invitations get around.

-You're right.

Look, I've seen him on TV.

Who was he again?

-I don't know his name.

-He's an actor.

-Is he?

-He's not a singer?

This is the fanciest opening day

ever since I started here.

I guess Ms. Kim's marketing strategy

worked like magic.

Sounds great.

In my opinion,

this is Director Jang Tae-jin's power.

He's young, handsome,

and he's the possible successor

of Segi Group.

He's a divorcee too.

Anyone big in politics and business

would drool all over him,

as well as anyone with a daughter.

I get it. She's doing this again.

-She's so negative.

-Let's say hi to her.

-Hello.

-Hello.

We're curators

here at Cheongsong Museum of Art.

-Hello.

-It's nice to have you here.

-It's a lot of fun.

-You're so pretty.

-Yes.

-Goodness, thank you.

Hello, these are the curators

of the museum.

Yes, hello.

-Hello.

-Weren't you going abroad for work?

How did you find the time?

It was postponed to next week.

It was postponed

because of their situation.

Did you think I postponed it for you?

No

I may be smitten with you,

but work is still work for me.

Let's head over there.

These are the people

we'll have to deal with.

Make sure you meet them.

-Chairman Choi.

-Hey.

"We"?

The new director, Ms. Kim Da-li.

Chairman Choi Yeong-man

of C and C Ventures and his wife.

Thank you for your time.

They're well-versed in culture and arts,

so they'll be good sponsors.

Goodness, you threatened me

saying you'll never see me again

unless I come here.

And you're now asking me to donate?

Goodness, you're like a highway robber.

He's not a robber. He's a romanticist.

I heard you postponed your business trip

to be here.

-Sorry?

-No, ma'am.

I didn't postpone it.

They postponed it first

because of their situation.

Goodness, I must've made a mistake.

Chairman Kim!

That's Chairman Kim of Lux Hotel.

Let us go say hello. Let's go.

-Look at him.

-Chairman Kim.

What are you doing?

-Please meet Director Kim.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Nice to meet you.

This is Chairman Kim of Lux Hotel.

So did you have a nice chat?

-Yes.

-We did.

-They're here.

-Good grief.

Goodness

Why? Why do you do this?

Since when did our family

visit exhibitions and art galleries?

Why is my entire family here?

Think of all the money we spent.

We have to come and look.

Also, I should start attending parties

to get used to it.

It's not a party. It's an opening event.

It's their grand opening?

It's not a party?

Who cares if this is the opening event

or a party?

We can use this chance to meet new people.

Father, I saw on social media

that all kinds of famous people came.

Even the successor of Segi Group is here.

That sounds wonderful.

It's time. We should go.

Anyway

Once you get in there,

pretend like we're strangers.

We're all on our own.

-Let's go.

-Yes, I just arrived.

I told you. I made this mess,

so I'll clean it up.

All right, then.

Goodness

-It's really good.

-What have you been doing?

They're all wonderful people.

-Do you enjoy wine?

-Wine sounds great.

How's your artwork coming along?

-Well, did you see it in there?

-I did.

-What did you think?

-I thought

What are you doing?

Why are you so late?

I've been waiting for you.

Chak-hui, why are you here?

Why would someone who works at a gallery

be here? Of course, I should be here.

You work at a gallery, right?

Look at me.

What are you doing?

Stay with me.

I have to introduce you to someone.

Introduce me? To whom?

-This is excellent.

-It is.

-I'll get going, then.

-Yes, goodbye.

-All right.

-See you.

This is Director Kim.

Hey

You know that you seem the coolest

when you don't say a word, right?

That's enough. What are you doing?

Just greet them, then don't say a word.

I'll manage the rest. Let's go.

Where are we

Where are we going?

Just come.

-Where did he go?

-Calm down.

Goodness. Thank you.

-Here.

-Okay.

How do you hit so well with your driver?

You're really strong.

-Dad.

-Hey, Chak-hui.

A hard worker for my district,

always jolly around the year,

my name is Ahn Sang-tae.

So who is he?

-I'm Jin Mu-hak

-You know him too.

He's with Dondon F&B,

a company that makes big

political contributions to you.

I see.

Assemblyman Ahn, hello.

-Goodness.

-He's my father.

Yes, right. Goodness.

Yes, it's an honor to meet you.

-Ma'am!

-This is fraud!

Get back here!

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Mr. Jin Mu-hak.

Yes?

Right

I'm Jang Tae-jin of Segi Group.

I wanted to meet with you,

but you declined the offer.

Your people don't report properly.

I didn't decline it.

If you have business with me, come to me

instead of telling me to come to you.

That's what I said.

I see.

I just wanted to suit your schedule.

I'm sorry if I sounded rude.

Suit me?

Sure

So what is this about?

I heard that Da-li is indebted to you.

I should've taken care of it

as soon as possible.

But we had a personal issue,

so it took longer than expected.

We?

Personal?

So?

So?

I'll pay on Cheongsong's behalf.

What's it to you?

Tell me.

Who are you to meddle in our affair?

I refuse to watch her being treated

like a doormat anymore.

Men covered in tattoos lay in her museum.

Art pieces were broken.

And you're always keeping an eye on her.

She spent all her life reading books

and learning about art.

She's not like you.

She has a strong sense of responsibility,

so she doesn't show it.

But can't you see? She's struggling.

You should stop here.

Did she say

that I was giving her a tough time?

Because she never told me that.

And Ms. Kim Da-li

isn't some naive kid.

Can't you see how well she's doing?

Don't make a fool

out of an intelligent woman.

It's only money.

And excessive nosiness

doesn't mean goodwill,

it means you have an ulterior motive.

What is it?

Are things not going your way?

Gosh. Hello?

Fine. I'm leaving right now. Bye.

I'm a bit busy.

I heard you liked money.

Isn't that all you want?

It's true that I love money.

But I don't accept donations.

I may get sick.

This is the third piece

of Ms. Hong Ja-yeong's

The Living and The Dead series.

As you can see, everything is made

with garbage left behind by the living.

The dead can no longer

leave behind garbage.

Does life always bring happiness?

Is death always horrible?

What differentiates these two?

Ms. Hong

only learned about her mother's death

one month after she passed away.

Her late mother didn't want to bother her

while she was preparing

for an important exhibition.

During that one month,

was her mom alive

or dead to her?

The aim of this artwork

was to make the audience think through

this experience.

-My gosh!

-What's going on?

Ma'am!

You lunatic!

Why in the world are you in the coffin?

You're teasing me, aren't you?

Why would you do

something like this to me?

What's the matter with you?

This is what I'm supposed to do.

The artist told me to do this.

-You little

-He's right.

This was the artist's intention.

He was selected as the model today.

But starting from tomorrow on,

any of you can volunteer

for this experience.

I see.

Go back inside.

Shall we move on?

All right.

Goodbye, sir. This way.

Let's go.

What?

You know nothing about art.

I thought no one would come,

but everyone came.

Gosh.

You were squealing when you saw KNK.

That's rich coming from you.

I saw what you did.

Since Ms. Hong had to quickly change

her artwork,

I thought we wouldn't have a model.

Me too. I was shocked to see him

in the coffin.

He didn't strike me

as the type to do that.

He just cleaned up the mess he made.

It's not that big of a deal.

Goodness

Where's Ms. Kim?

She told us to leave first.

Today was her first exhibit

after her father's death.

Despite being hectic all day,

he popped into my head every now and then.

Imagine how she felt.

Dad!

Remember I told you

that an art museum was timid yet chatty?

It has so many things to say,

but it's too timid to talk.

So when you're in an art museum,

you need to walk around quietly

and listen to what the pieces are saying.

Mr. Jin.

Look. My forehead is busted, right?

Stop exaggerating.

I'm serious!

Didn't you hear it crack?

All of a sudden, everything went white.

When this happens,

the lack of blood can be more dangerous.

Let me see.

Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?

Do you feel like throwing up?

Do I?

Anyway

you kind of hurt my feelings.

You put me in the coffin

and forgot all about me.

Who knew that you would fall asleep

in the coffin?

-What? Seriously?

-Sorry.

You must've bought good wine.

I always fall asleep

when I drink expensive liquor.

Good work today. It was tough, wasn't it?

Well

it wasn't so bad.

Actually, going into the coffin

was unsettling.

It was cold, dark,

humid, and scary.

But when I laid down,

it was warm, soft,

and warm.

They might've sprayed perfume.

It smelled good too.

For some reason,

it made me feel relieved.

It was comforting.

My mother passed away on a very cold day.

Gosh. This is ridiculous.

I know that you just lost your father.

I'm sorry.

Can I ask you how old you were

when she passed away?

It's not some big secret.

She passed away when I was ten.

You must've been heartbroken.

I'm sure she will be proud to see

how kind and successful you are.

No

I hope she doesn't.

People talk about

how the deceased watch over us

to the end of time,

protect us as our guardian angels,

and how we'll get to see them again.

But I want death

to be the end of everything.

The end of life.

The end.

That's what I want.

My mother

suffered way too much.

She went through so much pain

her entire life.

From what I remember,

she was in pain every single day.

She was sick.

Because she couldn't be there for me,

she was heartbroken too.

-I washed the strawberries.

-Yes.

They look delicious.

Try it.

Hurry and eat.

Did you eat?

Yes

Don't skip your meals. Okay?

Even when I'm not here,

you must eat no matter what. Okay?

Eat

Out of all days,

she passed away on the coldest day.

When we were burying her,

the ground was frozen.

The workers kept cursing.

She never had a ray of sunshine

in her life.

Her life was tough as it was.

She doesn't have to worry about me

even after her death.

Let's go.

She was probably watching over you

the whole time.

She was probably there

for every moment of your life,

rooted for you, and worried about you.

And after seeing how you stayed

on the right path

and have become a great man,

she must be happy.

No. Do what at the museum?

Why did I do that?

Opening events have more impact

than you think.

You're our museum's lucky charm.

Wait. How did you know I lived here?

Come on! When your dog poops,

you ought to clean it up!

Hey. What is it?

Sir, please drive. Let's go.

I've never stopped thinking about you.

Let's start over.

A mistake? I never make mistakes

when it involves my mouth.
