01x05 - Yeong-ju and Hyeon

[bunniefuu]

YEONG-JU AND HYEON

THINKING OF YOU [FEAT. IN-GWON, h*-SIK],
ROMEO AND JULIET, DAWN, WHAT IS LOVE?

Good morning, Ms. Kang.

-There we go.
-Goodness.

It's about four days old,
but it tastes the same.

If not for you, it'd be in the trash.

-I'll be off.
-Okay.

You'll be blessed.

Goodness, you say that to me all the time.

You'd better bless me!
Don't make me upset!

Hyeon will do well in life.

Of course. He'd better not become a thug
and end up chopping sundae like me.

I'm off now.

Look who's here. Wait.

Hold on.

Just a second.

Hey, come here. Eat this.

Here you go.

PUREUNG BUS STOP

Nostalgic rice crackers.

Nickel-silver pots.

Stainless steel pots.

Frying pans.

Pliers, hammers, and screwdrivers.
All kinds of tools.

Pliers, hammers, and screwdrivers.
All kinds of tools.

Tops and shorts.

Tops and shorts.

Pass me the wrench.

INCOMING CALL

What is it?

What? What is it?

Aren't you going to say anything?

Did you eat?

Did I eat?

Did I eat?

Why do you suddenly want to know that?

Whether or not I had eaten
was the last thing you ever cared about.

Are you senile?

Did you dial the wrong number?

Mom…

I mean, Aunt. Did you mean to call
the two other sons that you adore so much?

This is Dong-seok.

I'm not Jong-cheol or Jong-u.

Ms. Kang Ok-dong.

DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Come on inside.

Hello?

Hello?

Damn it. This is so annoying.

Damn it.

Dong-seok, here.

You buy things from someone else,

but you bring this to me?

I'll talk to you later.
Let me finish this first.

Let's talk later.

I'm sorry.

I won't ever buy things
from another truck again.

We're sorry, Dong-seok.

-Let it go.
-Come on. Be nice.

-Forgive her.
-Unbelievable.

I'm always the bad guy, aren't I?

Water.

Okay, here's your water.

Have some water and cut her some slack.

Goodness.

Ms. Kang, I told you
to come with your son.

Why did you come alone?

The cancer has spread a lot more
compared to when you last came.

From your stomach to your lungs and liver.

At least consider getting chemotherapy.

Get yourself hospitalized today
and receive an injection.

Ms. Kang.

At this rate, things can get really bad
in just a month or two.

Please, ma'am.

Just prescribe me something
for my digestion.

YEONG-JU AND HYEON

Sometimes, when I feel suffocated
living on this island,

I run all the way here.

Because this is the very end of Jeju.

Jeju is surrounded by the sea.

I'm given no other choice but to stop

once I realize that
this is the farthest I can go.

Gosh, it stinks of fish.

Damn it!

That damn seagull.

Damn you!

Damn it, it stinks.

I really don't get why people
from the mainland

always come here
to see this lame, same old sea.

Seoul is much more fun.

What's so great about
this dull countryside?

That it's free from pollution? Clean?

So damn boring.

I want to contaminate this entire island.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

-Yeong-ju, did you eat?
-Yes.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hey.

Isn't that h*-sik's daughter?

She's still the top student in her year.

She grew up without a mother,
but she turned out just fine.

-She doesn't have a mother?
-Hello.

She ran away when Yeong-ju was a baby.

There's not a single person
who doesn't know me here.

-I want to run away.
-Hello.

-I spend all day saying hello to people.
-Hello.

I'm so sick of this.

Hello.

-Here are your coffees.
-Thanks.

Just give me some sweet potatoes later.

-She's so kind.
-She is.

My dad told me to buy seaweed
and sweet potatoes from you.

Okay.

When did you grow so big?

We met at the market last time.
I can't grow in just five days.

Of course, you can.

Here you go.

Just give me 5,000 won for everything.

She used to cry so much
when she was a baby.

I often took care of you
when h*-sik was busy.

I was pretty much your mother.

If you put it that way,

that makes everyone
in this market her parent.

Stop trying to take credit.

My point exactly.
I'm sick of hearing people say that.

Thanks.



Go on. Go.

These two ladies are the only people
who truly understand me.

-Your dried fish is here.
-Hey.

I can see your a*s. Pull down your pants.

If I do, you'll see my underwear.

Stop acting like my mom
and get married already.

That darn brat.

You'd better dress properly,
or I'll give you a beating.

Why did you call me today?

Why can't you be more friendly
when you greet your mother?

Why would you talk to her that way?

You talk like a loan shark
who's here to collect.

What's wrong with you?

I'm asking why you called.

No reason.

"No reason"?

"No reason"?

Were we ever close enough
to call each other for no reason?

Ms. Kang Ok-dong.

Do you really think we're that close?

Goodness, Dong-seok.

Don't speak to your mother like that.

Hey.

So your mother called you.
Why is that such a big problem?

Stop glaring at your mother like that.

Don't call me, okay?

Why would you call me for no reason?

Since when were we that close?

We're not close.

I'll make sure to hold your funeral

when you die, Aunt.

You can call me then.

How can your mother call you
after she passes?

-You lunatic.
-Answer me.

Don't ever call me again.

Don't call me and get me all worked up.

All right?

-Hey. That's enough. Let's go.
-Okay?

-All right?
-Come on. Let's go already, you punk.

-Gosh. Just go.
-That damn boy.

The coffee is sweet.

It's sweet.

-Let go of me.
-Gosh, get over here.

What's your problem?

You really need to stop being like this.

Your mother's almost 80 years old.

What did she do to upset you so much?

When my dad passed away,

my mom drank all the time,
broke everything she saw at home,

and eventually died of heatstroke

because she did farm work
while she was drunk.

But I never once hated her.

Good for you,
but I'm an ungrateful b*stard.

I'm a damn b*stard who has no parents.

That's why I make
my innocent aunt's life--

-You mean, your mother.
-My aunt!

That's why I always
make her life so miserable, okay?

Listen, you punk. I'm trying to tell you--

Of all the men she could marry…

She could have gone for so many other men.

But she just had to choose the father
of the guy I hated the most.

What's worse is that
he used to be Dad's friend.

How much is this?

How about this?

Damn it.

That punk will learn his lesson
once his mother passes away.

-Hello.
-A carton of eggs, please.

-This one?
-Yes.

-Goodbye.
-Hey!

Do you still smoke?

Do you? Unbelievable.
Her dad is h*-sik, the ice seller.

Goodness me.

I caught her smoking
when she was in middle school,

and her dad cried his eyes out
and threw a fit.

Look at her. That impudent punk.

The only thing that isn't boring
in this countryside is Hyeon.

He doesn't dress well
and seems like a nerd,

but he's different when he's with me.

He's the only person
that excites me on this boring island.

But…

I think I let that excitement
go a bit too far.

ABANG SUNDAE

We're short on living expenses.

Can I have an extra 50,000 won?

Do you take money for yourself
from our living expenses?

Why do you keep asking me for money?

Take it from the money jar.

Hey.

Say hello.

His uncle's son was the chief secretary
of a former congressperson.

He's not my uncle.

He's my wife's uncle.

-Stop it. You're embarrassing me.
-He's my son.

He's the top student in his year.

Yeong-ju's the top student.

I come in second, third, or fifth.

Good for you, you punk.

He often gets the best grades.

He's just humble.

He wants to study medicine
at Seoul National University.

Can I go?

I want him to go to law school,
but he won't listen to me.

In-gwon, you must be proud of him.

That's what you think.
In order to pay for his tuition,

I'll have to sell sundae soup
for ten more years.

Have some sundae soup.

I'll be late for school.

It's early. You won't be late
just because you eat this.

What's wrong? Is it because it smells?

You punk, this smelly sundae
helped me make money to raise you.

Yet you look down on my job.

Hey, In-gwon. How have you been?

Are you still living your life as a thug?

Don't say hello to him!

This is my son,
the top student in his year.

Go on now.

You got yourself a smart son.

No wonder you're so proud, In-gwon.

Wipe that smile off your face,
you damn thug.

It's steaming hot.

Gosh, it's burnt.

My gosh.

Hey, sea.

You just wait.

Just wait one more year.

I'll be free
once Yeong-ju leaves for college.

Then I'll get on a boat
and go fishing out in the sea.

My hometown is by the southern sea

I still remember the clear blue water

I will never forget

The calm sea by my hometown

I picture the waterfowl
Flying above the sea

I miss my hometown

I miss it so much

Throw away that sock. It has a hole in it.

I will once you leave for college.

Did you buy what I asked
from Ms. Kang and Ms. Hyeon?

Yes.

Good job.

Can I give you a peck on the cheek?

That adorable brat.

That cute brat.

That precious brat.

You're doing it again.

Stop opening the door
right after you knock.

Mackerel or Spanish mackerel? Choose.
I need to cook and head to the market.

I don't care. They're both fish.

Will you stop using so much toothpaste?

What did I just tell you? Hey!

You never listen, do you?

Learn to be more frugal.

EASY CHECK ONE
QUICK AND EASY PREGNANCY TEST KIT

I've had enough of Jeju,

and I was ready to leave
the moment I turned 20.

But it looks like I might get tied down.

BANG YEONG-JU

You guys are hilarious.

My gosh.

Stop it guys. You're going to make me pee.

Seriously.

Hey. Can we talk?

Get lost.

You didn't teach me all the moves.

-I'm lost.
-Just dance.

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

-Why are your boobs so big?
-Don't touch me.

Why are you so cranky?
You can touch mine too.

Did you gain weight?

Let's go to a coin karaoke today.

No, thanks. I need to study.

Come on. Show some loyalty.

She's always like this.

She joins when she wants to have fun

but draws a line when she needs to study.
You cold brat.

Did you hear that? She's right, you know.

-Hey.
-Yes?

-Do you have money?
-Yes, I do.

Can I borrow some?
I'll pay you back once I get my allowance.

Gosh.

Here. Don't bother paying me back.

The bell's ringing.

The bell's ringing.

Quiet, guys. It's time for class.

Sit down, everyone.

Attention.

Let's greet our teacher.

-We love you.
-We love you.

Come on, sir.

What's with the golf ball?

It's none of your business.

Are you avoiding me?

Yes.

Stop avoiding me and let's talk.

What do you want me to say?

That all three of the pregnancy sticks
you got for me came out positive?

That I'm screwed because I'm pregnant?

That I'm going to get an ab*rtion?

This is unfair.

We only did it twice.

We even used protection.

I'm sorry.

Did you bring money?

It's 530,000 won.

Also, after my mom got a divorce,
she gave me this gold ring

that I had received for my first birthday.

My dad doesn't know.

ab*rtion isn't officially legal yet.

It's not covered by insurance,
so it costs a lot.

Yeong-ju.

Let's think this through.

Shut up.

It's my body, my choice.

If you decide to get an ab*rtion,

I'll look for the safest way to do it.

-If you decide to have it--
-I can't.

Let's be real. Are we that much in love?

What about college?

What about going to Seoul?

Is what we have between us
worth giving everything up for a baby?

If our parents find out about this,

your dad, a former thug, will k*ll you.

As for my dad,

he'll probably commit suicide
instead of hurting me.

So just keep your mouth shut.

Did you get permission from your parents?

Here. Write down their phone numbers.

If you can't, I'll pay you


You said it would be 220,000 won per don.

Take it or leave it.

DAMO
GOLD, SILVER, JEWELRY, WATCHES

I want 420,000 won for 2 don.

That's my lowest offer.

Did you sell it? How much did you get?

I got 410,000 won for 2 don.

Are you really going to get an ab*rtion?

Yes.

I heard these work
if it's been less than 12 weeks.

Instead of going to the academy today,

why don't we just spend time together?

I may be getting an ab*rtion,
but I still have a life to live.

You used a cheap condom, didn't you?

You did, didn't you?

I'll k*ll you if I really turn out
to be pregnant.

Aren't you going to the academy?

I can't.

The money I gave you was for the academy.

We only do surgery for those who have
been pregnant for less than seven weeks.

But are you sure that
you've been pregnant for three months?

-Frankly, I'm not sure.
-It's Yeong-ju.

-Hey.
-Hey, Yeong-ju.

I have one more question.

Well…

The thing is…

I bought some pills online.

The pills that are sold online
are 100 percent fake.

They can severely harm your body.

Hello?

Hello?

Let's take a look at question number 21.

You can see both the exponential
and logarithmic functions.

What's the first thing you need to do?

That's right. You need to check
if it's an inverse function.

What's next?

Yes, you need to check
the straight line with a slope

-of minus one--
-Damn it.

Let's carry on.

We need to check the graph
that has a slope

of minus one.

Then we're going to check
the characteristics of that slope.

Now, here are some of the things
that I want you guys to look out for…

Make sure you don't get hurt.

Can I cut in line?

-You can do it!
-Did you…

take the pills?

The nurse told me
that those pills are fake.

She told me not to take them.

None of you will succeed.

-Just go sit down.
-Shut it.

I swear you won't make it.
Your legs are too short.

-Listen to me.
-Cut it out.

-Let's do this.
-Come on.

-Jeez.
-Jump!

-Let's do this.
-I'm watching you.

You can do it.

-Next.
-What's wrong?

Bang Yeong-ju, jump!

Bang Yeong-ju, jump!

Hey, Yeong-ju.

Are you okay?

You're sweating so much.

Are you sick?

Ma'am, can I go home?

I think I have enteritis.

Okay, sure. Go ahead.

-You're so lucky that you're sick.
-Be quiet!

Let's go, Jung Hyeon! Jump!

Come on, Hyeon! Hurry up and jump!

-Jump already!
-What is he doing?

Will you just go?

-Where is he going?
-Hey! Hyeon!

-Where is he off to?
-Hey!

LET'S GO TO SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF MEDICINE!

Are you sick?

I read online that it could hurt
if the baby starts kicking.

I'm going to the hospital.

If I get there before 3 p.m.,
I might be able to get the surgery.

I'll come with you.
I'll tell the teacher I need to go home.

Are you crazy?

People might see us and spread rumors.

This doesn't feel right.

Yeong-ju, I heard it's really painful.

So what if it's painful?

Time is passing by even as we're talking.

The bigger the baby gets,

the more dangerous it'll be
for the both of us.

Let's try to find a good hospital

instead of just going anywhere.

If you truly care about me, then move.

Are you guys going out?

Why are you always together?

Hyeon, why did you leave
in the middle of class?

Our homeroom teacher wants to see you.

Yeong-ju, do you have period cramps?

Cut the bullshit, you pervert.

What's your problem? Are you nuts?

Damn it.

ONJEONG OB-GYN

Doors closing.

GYNECOLOGICAL EXAMS
THAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD GET

Shouldn't you be at school?

We only had morning classes today.

What are you doing here?

I was meeting a client nearby and…

The doctor says I have menopause.

What about you? What brings you here?

Irregular periods.

See, you brat?
This is why you need to eat well.

It's because you're always on a diet.

That's why it's irregular.

You're just a teenager.

Hey.

Do you want me to go with you?

-Did you feel embarrassed that you came--
-No.

It's okay.

She's always skipping meals.

OB-GYN KANG JUN-SEOK

When did you last have sex?

Do I have to tell you?

Yes.

-Is the ultrasound necessary?
-Yes, it's necessary.

The period from three months ago
could have been implantation bleeding.

I knew it.

Teenagers are always like this.

Twenty-two weeks.

You've been pregnant for six months.

If the baby is six months old, we need to
carry out an induced-labor ab*rtion.

But due to partial placenta previa,

there will be a lot of bleeding.

What does placenta previa mean?

Look it up online,

and bring a consent form
signed by a parent.

ab*rtion isn't ill*gal anymore.

Why do you need a parental consent form?

Nothing's been settled by law.

If you can't bring a consent form,

find yourself another doctor.

If you need immediate help,

call this hotline for crisis counseling.

I gave you this number,
which means I did my part.

Why are you treating me like a kid?

Is it because I'm just a teenager?

It's your fault
you didn't use proper protection.

Doctor.

Can't I just get the surgery?

Jung Hyeon.

Why do you like the sea?

I really hate the sea here in Jeju.

I'm going to leave as soon as I turn 20.

You really should study harder.

Hey.

How could you come in fifth?

Your grades never went down this low.
What went wrong?

Whenever I sit down to study,
I just can't stop thinking about you.

Get to your senses.
This isn't going to last forever.

Do you not love me?

Do you still believe in love
after what happened between your parents?

Here's what I learned from my parents.

Love doesn't exist.

Apparently, my parents were madly in love.

But in the end,
my mom abandoned me and my dad.

The same with your mom.

I gave her permission to go.

Anyway…

love never lasts.

Our feelings for each other will
eventually fade with time

like they never even existed.

It could be…

different for us.

I like that you're so pure at heart.

Yeong-ju.

Where are you? Why aren't you replying?

Will you please tell me where you are?

Move aside! Handcart coming through!

Make way for the ice!

-Hey, did you eat?
-Yes.

Make way for the ice!
Handcart coming through!

Hey, you look great today.

-Nonsense.
-Did something good happen?

-Make way for the ice!
-Did you eat?

Be careful not to hurt your back.

Coming through. Make way for the ice.

Make way for the ice.

I'll have this.

Hey, I ran into Yeong-ju.

Where? She should be in school right now.

At the OB-GYN.

What?

It's your fault
you didn't use proper protection.

Yeong-ju.

Are you okay?

I'm worried.

Please tell me you're okay.

I couldn't get the surgery.

I'm six months pregnant.

The doctor asked
for a parental consent form.

What am I going to do?

Let's think about it.

What's there to think about?

I'm getting rid of it.

YEONG-JU

That baby…

is my baby too.

Don't call it "baby."

Don't make me a bad person.

Don't make me feel guilty.

What's that on your stomach?

Hey. You don't need
to wear a slimming belt.

-You look just fine.
-Please just stop.

What did the doctor say?

Eun-hui told me
that you have irregular periods.

Did the doctor tell you why?

Just stop.

It's not a big deal.
It's common among women.

I don't want to talk
about irregular periods with you.

Who else can you talk about this with?
You don't have a mother.

That's enough.

-I need to study.
-Fine. Go ahead and study.

I bought beef, your favorite.

Eun-hui told me that the best cure
for irregular periods is to eat well.

Study while I cook this.

How did she end up
having irregular periods?

I'm so concerned about her all the time.

INDUCED-LABOR ab*rtion,
MORE THAN 14 WEEKS PREGNANT

HOW DOES AN ab*rtion WORK?

QUESTION

Can someone give me advice?

I'm a high school student.

My girlfriend is pregnant.

I'm not ready

to raise a baby.

My girlfriend wants to get an ab*rtion.

What worries me the most…

is my girlfriend's body.

Does it hurt a lot after the surgery?

Yeong-ju, don't flush the toilet so often.

You're wasting water.

How do you feel after the ab*rtion?

Do you feel relieved?

Do you forget about everything
after the surgery?

Will my girlfriend and I be able
to live our lives like nothing happened?

SUBMIT

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME ADVICE?

Your post really touched me.

I can tell that
you really love your girlfriend.

Just stay by her side.

And if the surgery concerns you,

why don't you buy ab*rtion pills

-for her instead?
-These damn brokers.

I threw up,

then put my legs up on the wall
to reduce swelling.

I'm massaging the bottom of my foot
with a golf ball.

I read online that
massaging the bottom of my foot

could cause uterine contractions
and lead to a miscarriage.

I just want the baby…

to disappear without anyone finding out.

According to a friend of mine,

Juhyang Hospital lets you get an ab*rtion
even if it's been over 20 weeks.

Yeong-ju.

It's hard, isn't it?

Yes.

It is.

Are you upset?

Yes.

I'm upset.

I'm still going to the hospital
tomorrow morning.

They also open on Saturdays.

I'm going alone.

If you're there, I won't be able to do it.

Good night.

Let's begin. Are you ready?

It'll be over soon.

You'll forget that any of this happened.

The pain you feel will disappear

as if it never even existed.

Why are you lying down
with your legs apart?

What's going on? Aren't you going to cook?

Why are you getting dressed?
I told you to cook.

Hey.

I'm talking to you.
Where do you think you're going?

Hey, Hyeon.

Hyeon!

Yeong-ju, where are you?

The bus stop.

-Which bus stop?
-Jeongchi Intersection.

It's over now.

When I come back on this bus,

everything will be over.

PUREUNG ENTRANCE TO SHINJEJU

Yeong-ju, don't go. Wait for me.

Damn it.

Teenager.

Love never lasts.

Our feelings for each other will
eventually fade with time

like they never even existed.

JEONGCHI INTERSECTION

Taxi!

YEONG-JU



Sir, I'm sorry. I'll get off here.

-Here?
-Yes.

Going up.

Doors closing.

JUHYANG HOSPITAL

Ms. Bang Yeong-ju.

Come inside the doctor's office.

Yeong-ju.

I'll go in with you.

I'm her guardian.

You should stand next to her
and take a look at the monitor.

This is the baby's head.

These are the arms and legs.

The organs all seem nice and healthy.

It's also moving around actively.

Gosh.

The baby is very healthy.

Would you like to hear its heartbeat?

Doctor, please stop.

I don't want to hear its heartbeat.

I'm scared.

Hyeon, I'm scared.

I don't want to hear the baby's heartbeat.

Doctor, please stop.

Doctor, please just stop.

I don't want to hear it.

PUREUNG BUS STOP

Don't you recognize me?

I do.

How did you end up
meeting a girl like her?

When did you start liking me?

Since the moment I saw you.

Why did you have to come to Jeju?

Dong-seok!

-Dong-seok.
-You're messing with my head again.

Sir, please stop the bus!

Why do you look like that?

What have you gone through

to end up looking like that?
