"You've changed car?" "Yes." "I'm sorry, you've waited long?" "I worried i was too late" "worried if you'd be gone... what should we do?" "We won't have time to go to sunyoo island it'll take... it'd take three hours, at least" "you're angry, aren't you?" "No whose car is this?" "It's my friend's what happened to yours?" "We switched cars for the weekend is it "myung" meaning brightness"?" "Yes, and the "hee" means "yearning"" "yearning?" "How do you write it in chinese?" ""Hee" usually means "girl" in women's names" "oh, like in "hope"?" "I'm lee mansup yes, i know" "how did you know?" "It was on your medical insurance card" "it doesn't have to be sunyoo, right?" "And their island... 1000 won received, sir" "is it because it's the weekend?" "So many people... sorae's changed a lot." "Have you ever been here before?" "Once when i was in college a long time ago... it was quite then not many people knew about it" "you must have come by train then yes, by train from suwon" "this bridge here i think was the railroad" "if you follow it straight the station was there" " sorae station - wasn't it?" "Too many people, it's a mess here now yes" "please enter your pin number" "check your amount, please" "well, does it taste oaky?" "Yes help yourself" "so, your pharmacy do you have a lot of customers?" "Yes there are a few hospitals nearby" "these days patients have become used to getting prescription" "so we get more customers but still, lots of people came without any prescriptions it's pain" "even myself i'm not used to getting prescriptions" " it's annoying - right" "after the government's medical reforms, i heard it's been tough for the smaller pharmacies" "right me, too i had to close my own pharmacy after two years you used to run your own pharmacy?" "Yes, but now i just help out my friend" "it's not easy anyway but at least, you don't have to bother with management yes, it's loss worry" "but since there are so many patients, we're really busy" "after the reforms, we've been computerizing the data we used to give customers whatever amout we had but now it has to match the prescription exactly so we have to be careful and it takes more times" "sometimes... not often, but sometimes it happens for example i give them one pill not looking just reading the name of the medicine but later i check the prescription," "and it says a half or two pills when that hapepns i just call the patient immediately and re-medicare" " here, have some - yes" "you can really drink take your time" "why did you start studying pharmaceutics?" "It just happened that way originally i wanted to go to medical school," "but my colleage entrances scoreswere too low then times got hard to in our family and my mom wanted me to go to pharmaceutical school" " so you failed once?" " Yes same here really?" "How are your headache?" "It's much better than before but still?" "If i'm tired or worried about something then it throbs a bit" "but it's much better now" "if so, then stop taking medication and... excuse me" "hello" "i didn't hear it ring of course" "where do you think?" "I'm in hospital" "i don't think i can make it by tomorrow" "they need a pallbearer here!" "Of course" "i worked it out with jung-in take taxi just for tomorrow hello?" "Those nicotine patched they sell... are they effective?" "Those products, they aren't so effective by themselves it's not the medicine" "it's your will that's most important you can never quit smoking just by taking medicine" "seems like psycholoical factors are more important psychological... yes" "and if you use it improperly like, when using the patches smoking tastes bad" "you should use that as a chance to quit but the thing is... if you keep smoking," "then it's really bad for you" "i keep saying i should reduce my smoking but i've never really tried" "it can't be easy" "cutting down just a little can help your headaches, though" "once i had a bad flu and for a day or two i didn't quit but... just had one after meals" "about a 4,5 a day?" "But then i felt much healthier" "sure, that much could help a lot" "was... the restroom far away?" "No, it's just right out there" " well, excuse me - sure" " what were you thinking?" " Nothing" "not so good but there's still sea outside it's not bad, is it?" "Right" "some people can travel as their job i envy them" " me, too - i have this friend he's in real eastate" "but he doesn't do residences in the city he travels the country buying and selling land" "since he's always travelling around, he takes his jeep" "and if he sees someplace nice, he can explore it mountains or whatever" "he's got everything in his jeep camping equipment fishing and cooking supplies" "when he finds a place that he likes, he just sets up a camp" "fishing, drinking, eating until he gets sick of it then he comes home" "are you envious?" "Yeah, first i thought he was a bit crazy but sometimes i envy him" "for us, everyday's just the same" "he's not married?" "He's divorced what kind of a woman would want such a guy?" "I have a friend who likes traveling, too she often goes to nepal" "sounds like a real traveler she doesn't have any special reason but always nepal" "she's not married she's a pharmacist, too?" "Yes" "so she can afford to do that life freely" "it seems only an egoist can live like that" "well, egoism isn't always a bad thing actually if you look at the meaning of the word looking after yourself liking yourself... if you can do that," "even if it affects others in some way" "i don't think it's so bad in some ways it's enviable" "it's still alive" "it was prepared more than an hour ago right from the sea, it sure is fresh" "it's hard to find this in seoul" " i know - and expensive only in high-priced japanese restaurants" "it's a beautiful color" "no, don't it's already dead no, it isn't" "it's not moving because it's alive that's just a reflex action" "some more beer?" "Sure another beer, please!" "You drink a lot, don't you?" "Well, a little a bit more than the average working man, perhaps but not too much" "those guys drink a lot" "do you drink often?" "Not really i have no one to drink with" "they say it isn't good to drink alone i only do it sometimes" "i think i'm getting old when i was younger i couldn't understand people who drink alone" "it seemed lonely and it didn't taste as good drinking alone compared to going out, you can't drink half or much" "but lonely i'm starting to enjoy it a bit" "how do you eat at the pharmacy?" "I guess there's no one to take turns with we usally have meals delivered" " it's tedious eating inside?" " Yes, it is" "i'll be 40 soon now how did you feel when you became 40?" "Heavy hearted" "in fact, i was really happy when i turned 30 my fellows said they felt sad when turning from the 20s to the 30s but for me, i didn't feel sad only heavy but at the same time" "it was a different kind than like now like something was filling me up a heaviness that i could carry within me" "but when i became 40, it was only the heaviness" "you wouldn't understand" "i like getting old" "i was really happy when i turned 30" "because i thought i could cast off some of my heaviness at the point... that comes from the 20s" "but still... that's how i felt when i turned 30 but turning 40 didn't have the same happiness" "i see we have a lot in common" "on the sea of blackness there goes a night-boat it doesn't even look scared floating away and away" "a little star on the sky when it twinkles above row a boat with a little oar away down the milky way if you float down endlessly, where would you stop and lay no one to look at or find" "a little night-boat you are" "are you asleep?" "No" "do you want something to eat?" "Shall we order some food?" "Right now?" "They should have a delivery service shall we?" "Can you call for deliveries?" "Yes, what do you have?"

" It's too much - that's enough" "market food always tastes good" "i remember going there and having drinks in one of those places... back then... we might have passed by each other then" "could have, without noticing each other" "what would it be like if we had met back then?" "What do you think would've happened?" "Did you have many girlfriends in college?" "Only once was it anything serious" "did it work out?" "Of course not how come?" "It just turned out that way" "how about you?" "I also... had a steady boyfriend," "but we broke up" "my mom objected to him" "why didn't you stand up to her?" "Well," "i'm not good at those things" "do you regret it sometimes?" "For not giving a chance" "what's the use?" "All of that's passed" "but every so often," "it just feels unfair" "so... did you have an arranged marriage?" "Yeah, my friend introduced us" "we dated a year before getting married that's like marrying for love" "getting introduced or an arranged meeting is the same what about you?" "Me, too we married two months after an arranged meeting" "hello?" "What is it?" "Wrong number, i guess" "they just hung up" "go to sleep yes" "they don't have it then just get whatever they recommend alright" " i feel tired all the time - yes the headache's probably caused by stress taking anodyne is probably the fastest treatment you take pain reliever for a headache?" "Sure not specialized headache pills?" "Anodyne is the most common treatment and it's better to use it for uncertain headaches really?" "How long should i take it?"

"It's okay, don't worry about the car" "how much will it cost if this whole bumper is repainted?" "Well, is it the same with a regular car?" "About 150,000 won, i think" "well, we didn't make it to any island" "at least we saw the sea, that will do" " why don't you eat?" "Is it me?"
