Post by bunniefuu »

[man 1] Let's move on
to our next presenter.

- [man 2] Great job.
- [applause]

[clears throat]

Every single year, hundreds of thousands
of humans visit Napo's beautiful beach.

And on that beach, off to the side,

and though they don't blend well,

two silos stand there.

What does this mean?

What shall we do with the silos?

So please take a moment
to listen to this recording.

[air whooshes rhythmically]

[metal clanks]

[Yun-o, echoing] Ah!

[Yun-o laughs]

[echoing] Ah!

[echoing] Hello, hello.

TSC Architecture says hello.

Seong Yun-o is my name.

Ah!

[air whooshes rhythmically]

- Looks like amateur work.
- [laughs]

[woman] Professor!

What's it sound like?

[chuckles] It is the sound

that is inside a silo

that is 20 meters wide and 50 meters high.

When you enter this beautiful silo,

even the smallest sound of your breath
is reflecting off the rusting iron.

You feel the sound of your own breath.

Your breath in a way
you have never felt before.

[gentle music plays]

How long have the rusted iron plates

been holding out
inside of this lonely silo?

Almost 50 years.

They have been waiting
for your air and your voice for 50 years.

Waiting to hear your breath.

[gentle music continues]

[man] Yeah, sounds good. Here's my card.

For you.

- It's heavy.
- [woman grunts]

[chuckles]

[gentle music continues]

SOMEBODY

Change back the entrance?

We're gonna have to change
the whole structure now.

Think of all the people and clients
who will be upset.

- What's the point in all of that, huh?
- [man] What?

No one's life is that great anyway.

We'll all be forgotten with time.

Is there anything that we value more than...

Than leaving a true lasting legacy?

[sighs]

We have to at least strive for that,
because it's important.

TSC DIRECTOR
MISSED CALL

Yeong-hoon, go peek out the window.

It's time to get back to Earth.
Our space trip was fun.

Yun-o, get a hold of yourself.

[cell phone beeps]

[knocking on door]

[woman] Na-eun, don't wait for me.
Get some sleep.

Mm.

A LONELY NIGHT
THE SEA AT NIGHT

SEND MESSAGE

[Na-eun] Huh? I was just looking
at those fireworks.

[15] Really?

[Na-eun chuckles] Yes!

You must be close by.

Did you see the fireworks?

[15 chuckles] They were
right in front of me.

[Na-eun] No way.
Are you the one that set them off?

[15] Yeah. Drinking alone
can get pretty boring.

I wanted to set the sky on fire.

[Na-eun] Wow, thanks
for brightening up my day.

It means a lot.

[15] You having a hard day?

[Na-eun] Actually, every day
kind of sucks.

Life is boring.

LIFE IS BORING... LOL

ACCEPT VOICE CHAT WITH 15?

[cell phone chimes]

[clears throat]

[15] Why is life boring?

[Na-eun] Well,

I came here to follow my dream,

but now my dream has vanished, and I'm
already over 30 years old. [chuckles]

If someone looks at me warmly,
treats me well,

gives me nice gifts sometimes,
I just fall for them.

But when the relationship changes,
I'm left confused and alone.

[Na-eun sighs]

But today I saw something
that reminded me of my failed dream.

So I feel worse.

It's so annoying.

[chuckles]

[Na-eun] Honestly, I'm jealous.

I'm just so tired of everything now.

[Yun-o] There's not much I can say
to comfort you.

I'm sorry.

[Na-eun laughs awkwardly] We're strangers,
but I guess I overshared. I'm embarrassed.

I'll set off fireworks for you.

[fireworks explode]

START VIDEO CHAT WITH 15?

[cell phone chimes]

[gasps]

Huh? [chuckles]

Were...

- Uh, were you...
- [Na-eun] Right?

[boy] No, wait, this is mine.

Can you buy these?

Agh! Ow!

Hey, you b*stard!

[Na-eun chuckles]

Hey, Yun-o, you wanna try
a bottle of Napo soju?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Excuse me!
- Yes.

Question. What is the soju called here?

Samhak soju.

[chuckles] Great. Can we get one for us?

Sure.

There's a table over there.
Would you wanna move over there?

- Yeah.
- Great. [laughs nervously]

Oh, wow. The sky is so pretty.

PROFESSOR MIN

[orchestral cell phone ringtone plays]

Ooh!

[Na-eun laughs]

[Na-eun sighs contentedly]

[Na-eun laughs]

[orchestral ringtone continues]

[groans]

PROFESSOR MIN

[groans] f*ck.

I'm done

with you.

[groans]

Didn't you just say that you love him?

[scoffs]

He loves another.

You don't care.

[slurring] Fine,
I'll tell you what he said. Hm.

[sighs] This is what he said.

"You can hear the sound of your breath
that is reflected in the silo?"

[laughs] "That's one person
when they go in."

"Crap. How many people enter? Just one?"

[laughs]

"Cultural spaces that can't even pay
their own maintenance costs?"

"Would the local government
even manage it?"

That's what he said. [laughs]

"Amateur's work."

Well, you're not an amateur.

[laughs] "Am-a-teur's work."

[Na-eun laughs]

[crockery clinks]

[Na-eun sighs]

[Min exclaims]

[Min groans]

[Min breathes heavily]

[echoing] Hey, are you there?
Why'd you ask me to come here?

[laughs]

Hey, Na-eun, you...
You'll need some spanking today, huh?

[laughs]

I WAS WORRIED WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE

That's why I wanted to chat with you.

AH! THE WHEELCHAIR SAVED ME? HAHA

[hopeful music continues]

[loud dance music plays]

I was sitting there.

I know. You kept it warm for me.

[dance music continues]

[woman 1] This is yours,

and this one is mine.

[dance music continues]

[chuckles]

[woman 1] All of the bottles in this bar,

they're all mine.

I'm friends with the bartender.

If you wanna drink some of it...

give this to her.

I AM INSTRUCTOR LEE YOON.

If I drink all of them?

If you drink any of them,
my friend over there will call me.

Then I'll come...

just like this.

And if you're drunk...

I'll totally stress out.

Do whatever you want.

[dance music continues]

[woman 2] Can you drop me off in front
of the convenience store? Yeah, here.

[romantic pop music plays]

Oh. We're already here.

Goodbye.

You're just going to, uh, leave?

I have to be at work really early.

[woman 1] What do you do?

I can drive you to work in the morning
if you want. [chuckles awkwardly]

Would you give... your contact info?

See ya.

[recorded voice] What are you looking for
on Somebody?

[device vibrates]

I want to connect with people.

[Sum breathes heavily]

[recorded voice] How?

Rather than how, you should be asking who.

Who do you want to connect with?

People who can understand me.

[Sum breathes heavily]

[recorded voice] What would you have done
about the cat?

I'd probably do the same as you.

[Sum breathes heavily]

[recorded voice] It's exactly
what you're thinking now, yes.

Do it.

[Sum panting]

[recorded voice screams]

I k*lled the cat.

Am I a monster?

No, not at all.

I told you to do it.

I know you wanted to help the cat.

So it wouldn't suffer.

Great job!

You did good.

[device stops vibrating]

[recorded voice] Where are you now?
I need to see your face.

I'll be right over.

Is this supposed to be funny?

Oh.

I go out and do ribbon cuttings.

ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY?

[Gi-eun] I'm almost there.

[cell phone chimes]

ACCEPT VOICE CHAT WITH WHEEL ME?

[cell phone continues to chime]

[wheel me] Let's talk on voice chat.
It'll free up your hands.

[chuckles]

[Gi-eun] Okay.

I crossed the bridge,
um, and heading down to you right now.

[wheel me] Ah, okay.

So I found this place that I really like.

The pool is like the ocean.

- Mm.
- [wheel me] I'll send a picture.

[gasps] Wow. Looks wonderful.

[wheel me chuckles] Isn't it?

I can get over there in the wheelchair.
I'll be there soon.

[wheel me] Yeah,
uh, you can get pretty close.

Keep on coming down
until you're next to the black greenhouse.

Oh, okay.

[cell phone chimes]

Oh.

- [wheel me] The swimming pool.
- [Gi-eun laughs]

- [wheel me] Look.
- [Gi-eun sighs]

Cool, but maybe it's not the pool
I wanna see.

I'd prefer to see your face.

[gasps] Whoa.

it's really so wonderful.

[Gi-eun gasps]

[Gi-eun] Are we really gonna go in?

- [wheel me] Of course.
- [Gi-eun laughs]

[woman 1] Hey, Mok-won!

Hm. You okay?

[woman 1] What's up?
I'm doing pretty good.

Is something wrong?

Had a crazy dream last night.

- [woman 1] A dream?
- You were there.

[woman 1] What sort of dream?
Did I die? [gasps] Jeez.

[chuckles] That's not it.

[inhales] It's fine
now that I heard your voice.

[woman 1] I'm really creeped out.
Do I need to be careful?

Someone is calling.
I'll call you back, okay?

Um, yes, hello?

[woman 2] Oh, hey.
Mok-won, did you call me?

There were a lot of customers today.

Is something wrong?

Uh, just my dream last night
had you in it, so I'm calling you.

[woman 2] In your dream? What happened?

Can I speak for a minute to Gi-eun?

[slow pop song continues]

[Mok-won] Did something happen

She's a cop, you know.

[chuckles]

Well, okay.

Volume's a little high. Can you lower it?

[slow pop song continues]

[chuckles]

[music becomes quieter]

[inhales, chuckles]

[sighs]

Yeah, I'm here,

chilling at some restaurant
some place by Euljiro.

It's a lost phone I picked up
while I was here.

I can leave it at the restaurant,

and I'll send you their number so you can
come by and pick it up for them.

[Mok-won] Do you know
