"We don't stand a chance" "You really think so?" "Besides, you're not looking for love on your blind dates anyway" "What?" "You're looking for certain conditions" "Not the person, but who they are and what they can offer you" "What do you know anyway?" "I wouldn't have gone on that date regardless" "I didn't measure up to your high standards so I was good for pleasure Am I wrong?"

"Yes" "I was sort of counting on Kyu-jin's marriage for some time" "Because I thought it wouId be a natural way of seeing Yeon-hee again" "To be honest, I was regretting what I had said to her earlier" "I was positive that she would be there since she was friends with the bride" "But I couldn't find her throughout the entire wedding ceremony" " Hey" " What?" " The flight's at seven o'cIock, right?" " Yeah" "If it's seven, they should leave here at four at the latest" " Are you okay?" " What?"

"Not too good" "Just waited for the turtles to die" "I'm serious" "Whenever I had extra time" "I would lean over the tank and stare at them" "Then my nephew would walk by and ask" ""What are you doing uncle Joon?"" "And I would answer "I'm waiting for the turtles to die"" "So what's up?" "Thought I would never hear back from you" "I was just around here for a chore and remembered your number" "That's all?" " Are you done?" " Yeah, one sec" "I went on that blind date" "Oh yeah?" "Who is this guy?" "He's a doctor AII his siblings are doctors" "Guess you found the one" "But he's not the most attractive person" "How bad is he?" "You wanna go do it?" "No" "How come?"

"Later" "You sure the doctor guy doesn't work here?" "There just wasn't a right place to make a turn" "well, thanks anyway." "Bye" "Good-bye" "You wanna come up for a bit?" " Mom" " Yes" "I brought you a gift today" " How do you do?" " Oh, hi" "She's one ofthe many girls that follow me around" "Stop it." "How are you?"

"Now that you said that I'm actually a bit disappointed" "Why?" "I don't want to do it" "You're the one that wanted to come" "This is such a headache" "Why?" "One's a doctor two's a salary men the other's a businessman and then you" "I don't know who I should pick" "Leave me out of it" "Let's start with assumptions" "First, marrying the doctor will provide me with life's amenities ...but it will be a dull, fixed life with his stuck up family to deal with" "Not to mention having to get used to his ugly face" "Then there's the life of a salary man's wife" "This is good because I get to live with a man that's younger than me" "But then, he's too short" "Stop it" "Next is also a salary man" "This guy graduated from a top notch school and even owns an apartment" "And he seemed very nice and all" "but he's such a mommy's boy" "He wouldn't stop talking about his mother." "My mother this, my mother that" "So why am I included?" "You?" "You're honest and your mother seems very sweet" "And?" "And...you're good in bed" "But I see us struggling financially and you'II probably cheat on me" "Every chance you get you'II sneak around with other women" "Why does everything have to be so damn complicated?" "Nothing has to be complicated" "Forget about the ones that aren't wealthy" "Why?" "Cause you would never be able to give up financial freedom" "Who are you to say?" "If I were in your shoes I wouldn't be able to give it up either" "I'm taking 'em out" "I'm going to choose from two" "congratulations." "Pick a date then" "I haven't decided yet if I wanna go with you or the doctor" "It'II never work with me so pick a date with that doctor guy" "Do you really have no intention of marrying me?" "It's not you." "It's me" "What do you mean?" "talk to me" "I just don't know if I can live with someone and have to lie all the time" "Wish we could just go away somewhere" "Professor..."

"He has a huge mole under his eye" "and I can't handle it" "I'm serious" "We've been fighting all week because ofthat" "I mean...this was a fight on something terribly stupid" "So imagine what would happen when we have to agree on what to buy for our house" "It's gonna take months to settle all the issues we need to go over before marriage" "He also wanted to get married in WooIsan because his relatives happen to live there" "Does that make sense to you?" "Maybe I should really reconsider this marriage" "No, you are right on track" "What do you mean?" "Same thing happened when my brother was getting married" "I really thought that the marriage was over." "They fought non-stop" "I thought, "Do people really need to get married after all this trouble?""

"I have tons ofthings to buy" "You should've at Ieast made a list" "You sound like my fiance" "You're tired, right?" "Are you almost finished?"

"Come in" "hold on a sec" "This is real wood" "What do you want to drink?" "Anything is fine" "Thanks" "Now I'm really glad that I let you go" "At least you know" "What?" "It was you that let me go" "Whatever" "You would've come this way regardless" "That's possible" "But ifyou weren't so intent on not getting married" "I would never have made the decision to give up on you so early" "The house was perfect with the sun shining through" "The evening tempted you to say "Are the kids home yet?"" "What ifyour scent remains here?" "Are you scared you might get caught?" "No, I'm just worrie that I'II get too horny" "Just don't call my name when you're do it with your husband" "What?"

"You need to work" "You're so warm" "How come you never talk about your ex-girIfriends around me?" "Why are you asking this?" "This is our honeymoon" "I just don't think it's right to talk about past girlfriends with a new one" "You are such a player" "I bet the first girl was like "This is mine"" "And the second, "This is my lolly pop"" " Then the third one..."

"No" "How have you been?" "I've been quite busy" "I have this translation work right now" "Are you still living out ofyour parents' house?"

"I can help you out, you know" "I have some retirement money leftover" "Do you Iike your newjob?" "Yeah" "I knew it wouId suit you well" "But it's sort of boring" "What do you usually do on a regular day?" "I fix him breakfast in the morning and then go to the swim club ...followed by some shopping in the afternoon" "Then you'II fix dinner and greet him with a smile, right?" "Pretty much" "What can you cook?" "Pretty much everything" "But sea bass soup and hardboiled hairtaiIs are some of my best I must say" "Do you also have drinks and talk about your days from time to time?" "Are you jealous?" "Did you think that I would call again?" "Ifthe swimming instructor wasn't attractive enough, yes" "I never thought you would actually show up at my wedding" "You have no idea how surprised I was" "Thought you could do better" "You think?" "I have to get going now Okay, later" " Think about what I said" " What?" "About moving out I really want to help you" "Thanks." "But I'II pass" "It's not charity, you know I'm lending it to you" "Just think about it Joon-young" "Okay?" "Good-bye" "Everything's fine except it's a bit too small, don't you think?"

"I'm not getting married so that I don't have to do things like that" "What?" "You know, doing the dishes making coffee, or fighting over love" "Mr. Know-it-aII" "We should put our honeymoon picture up there and place the dining table here" "And maybe a vase on top" "That way, I can see ifyou're coming home or not while fixing dinner" "That's so cheesy" "When I was little that was my ultimate dream" "I don't care if it's cheesy" "Ifwe were married we probably would've ended up living in a place like this, right?" "Aren't you glad that you went for the other guy?" "Yeah" "We would've easily gotten a divorce" "Make me a key" "Why are you trying to see me again?" "I feel so fresh here" "That's too big for two" "This one looks good I Iike the color too" " How much is this?" " 130 dollars 130?" "This is too much for the room" "It's better of using hangers instead" "Why don't we put this next to the bed?" "This is much better than that We can put TV on top" "How much did you say this was?" "I'II give it to you for 140" "There was a scratch on it" " What's this?" " What?" "There's nothing we can eat" "Just wait." "I'II make you some Miso soup" "We'II split the bill even" "You pay for all of it" "That's not fair" "I don't need any ofthis stuff" "Hey, here" "hello?" "That's not possible I Ieft it on the whole time" "I'm with my friends I think I'm gonna run a little late" "Are you working overtime tonight?" "I'II see you at home" "Now it looks like a newly wed's room" "You just made the room all cramped" "It looks like a friggin' play house" "You're not supposed to sit there" "This is a floor mat not a sitting mat" "Who cares?" "It's new" "Don't act primitive" "This isn't my taste" "You still like it though, don't you?" "I'm starving" "Wait, I'II fix dinner right away" "How's this?" "Don't I Iook cute in it?" "I'm hungry" "This over here too" " You wanted spinach last time" " Yes" "We have it fresh today" "I'm good for today" " So what do you do anyway?" " Excuse me?" "I see your husband everyday but you're sort of on and off" "I work outside the city" "So you're a weekend couple" "Guess we are" "A pack of cigarettes please" "You're here" "You're home?" "I'II fix you nice dinner" "We're a weekend couple" "Do we have to do this?" "It's fun" "I always wanted to do it this way" "Oh my!" "Go watch the soup" " That's enough now" " I'm almost done now" "Go brush your teeth Your breath stinks from the fish" "I won't do it unless you brush your teeth" "This is why married couples lose their sex appeal" " Honey" " What?" "will you grab the shaving cream and a razor on your way out?" "Why?" "I wanna shave for you" "Shave?" "It stings when I kiss you" " Be careful with the blade" " Okay" "Do you do this for your husband too?" "Not bad" "When I was little, itjust looked so cool the way my father shaved" "Ever since, I've been wanting to shave for someone I Iove" "Stop it." "You're tickling me Ifyou wanna get cut, do it" " I wanna get cut" " Stop" "Yeah." "I'm out" "I'II be back soon" "Did you eat?" "So, you'II be late then" "Come out" " You're leaving?" " Yeah" "Why are you opening my mail?" "I think it's a she" "Professor, this is Sae-un I have tickets to a concert" "So I thought ofyou" "I don't remember the movie we saw together but I do remember your scent I remember it vividly" "please give me a call" "Are you dating a student?" "She's just a student I know" "This is no ordinary teacher student relationship" "She's just a student" "When did you start meeting her?" "Did you sleep with her?" "What do you want to know?" "It's none ofyou business anyway" "None of my business?" "Yeah...why should you care about who I'm sleeping with anyway?" "Okay" "I don't care ifyou're sleeping with that student ofyours" "But never bring her to this room" "What?" "I decorated this room" "Another girl's presence is not welcome here" "You always have it your way" "What?" "You don't think I'm sick of having to smell another guy's cologne on you?" "I'm the one that should be pissed" "Okay then Good luck with that student" "I'm sure you told her the same thing" ""I don't believe in marriage"" "In reality you're the one that more picky about the women you meet" "You can always just leave like that" "What?" "And then when you miss me, you'II just come back and pretend everything's okay" "well, I'm different" "You can just runaway whenever you wish but I feel like shit being left here all alone" "Your shit's all over the place and your hair is all over the pillow" "Do you know how that feels?" "closure" "hello?" "It's your mother Are you still sleeping?" "Yeah" "Why don't you come over for breakfast?" "I have your birthday breakfast ready" " You know I don't eat breakfast" " Do you even know that it's your birthday today?" "I know." "I'II call you back later" "You're here" "What brings you here?" "You're eating instant noodles again?" "I told you to cook even if it's a hassle" "Did you get bored that easily?" "I thought you would never come back" "Didn't you miss me?" "You lent me the money so that you can do this from the beginning, right?" "Can't say no" "hold on" "I baked it myself Doesn't it look tasty?" "Is that all I get?" "Do you know how hard I worked to bake this all day long?" "Where's the decoration?" "It was here before" "Don't answer" "It's him" "He was all suspicious last time I didn't pick up" "hello?" "The class just ended and" "I'm going to get some food with the people here" "I don't think I can be home so early" "I told them that I would treat" "Yeah, maybe an hour or two" "Make sure you eat and I'II see you later" "What kind of class is it?" "I told him I'd take english classes in the evening" "After all, I am an english teacher" "Happy birthday." "Cheers" "Do we really have to do this?" "Of course." "It's a must" "Aren't I the best?" "I remembered your birthday" "Hey, have some" "I bet its much better than the ones you buy" "It's good" "really?" "Does he like cakes?" "What?" "Oh..." "I guess" "What else does he like?" "BuIgogi, sea bass soup and pretty much everything I cook" "I bet...since you're a good cook" "Why are you asking me that though?" "You never talk about my husband" "I was just curious" "Curious about what?" "Of course I'm curious" "Then ask me questions" "well, you and your husband... forget about it" "What is it?" "talk to me" "It's nothing important" "I feel like I'm in a remote island somewhere" "That would be awesome if it were real" "Don't you have to go now?" "I got time" " Don't drink that" " Why not?"

"I don't' know man" "Why don't you straighten things out this time?" "How?" "With whom?" "Do you know how long I waited?" "Why did you have your cell phone off?" "I met Kyu-jin today" "What about him?" "I spoke to Yu-ri this morning too" "It was that woman in black at the wedding, right?" "ShouIdn't he get a divorce with Yu-ri if he loves her so much?" "It's not that easy" "Once they get a divorce he won't even have a place to live" "And Yu-ri will probably have problems of her own" "If he's so scared ofthings like that, how is he in love?" "Can you do it?" "I know I can" "No." "You can't do it" "I can" "I'm confident that I'II never get caught" "Don't come here anymore" "Why not?"

"To buy instant noodles" "hold on, wait" "Get some pepper too" "I don't put pepper in my instant noodles" "You'II get it, right?" "Here" "Your wife bought it with bean sprout" "She did?" "You were gonna get it anyway" "You had instant noodles" "Yeah, but somebody had to get up and buy pepper anyway" "You're really gonna eat instant noodles?" "You're such a cry baby" "Come on...it's getting cold" "Eat that ifyou're gonna try me" "Don't try me" "You want me to eat this all by myself?" "Let's end this right now" "We're slowly getting sick of each other" "Can you do it?" "We can't do this forever" "I never thought that it wouId be over a stupid Bean Sprout Bibimbap" "Can you really do it?" "It's about will power..." "If it's hard forgetting you" "I'II try to find someone else" "I'II do just the same" "I might come back to see you though" "Don't" "If I come back to see you" "please tell me to leave" "I don't even feel any kind of guilt anymore" "I just feel a Iot busier than most people" "Just don't come back" "I don't know if I can send you back" "Thinking that it was last got me more aroused" "Her hair, eye movement the sheet like skin, and the feeling of her moving fingers" "I wanted to hold on to every part of her body that was no Ionger mine" "uncle Joon's here" " uncle Joon" " How have you been Wonny?"

"Oh, she got married" "I haven't gotten a call from her in weeks" "Now that I come to think of it it was every other week that she came by" "Why she came by every other week" "I'II never know." "It's just funny that I'm suddenly curious about all ofthis" "Our relationship just had so many flaws" "We never shared things most couples had" "I'm looking at the album that Yeon-hee left me for the first time" "She's been diligently taking pictures to make this album for quite some time" "I just never really cared much about it" "Itjust seemed like one of her pointless and dangerous acts that she did" "At least in the pictures we looked very happy together" "But in the end we ended up taking a different road" "I think I know now..." "Why she worked so hard to take these photos" "And I also know what she wanted to tell me"
