"My childhood ended on the day my father ate, Minky." "Thanks." "I told that little brat to go home but he doesn't listen." "Here, this is good for you." "Damn it!" "You little pest!" "Damn it." "How can we eat this now?" "BOY" "Five years later, Winter of 1988." "My father became so diligent when the elections came around." "My mother said that Dad would be under a magic spell every four years." "Victory!" "Victory!" "But this time, his symptom came very fast." "The party of reform and innovation, Democratic Justice Party." "Vote for Yoo Tae-hwa." "How much?" "Seven hundred won." "Why are there two chickens?" "Go give one to your father." "Mom, this is your problem." "You leave him, but you still buy this crap for him?" "Are you going to Grandma's again?" "Hey, go over there for a minute." "Why?" "Just go!" "Mom, give it up if you're going to be back in a week." "Not this time." "Please stop staying that." "You came back in three days in order to pack Jin-woo's lunch." "That's why Dad won't care at all if you run away." "I'll file for a divorce if he does that again this time." "So take good care of Jin-woo, okay?" "Mom, you stand firm instead." "Jin-woo and I are all grown up now." "We don't need a person like Dad, so if you divorce him don't mind us" "I'll call you." "You'll get weak so don't call." "I'll be going." "Cook Jin-woo's favorite sausage dish." " When I was just your age..." " The Korean war..." "The Korean war erupted." "In the middle of a battlefield where cannonballs fell..." "A piece of potato." "A piece of potato was the only thing that I ate and I survived on." "Your grandmother gave me that potato so that I won't starve as we fled to Busan on foot." "So you two should be grateful for not living in the worst conditions." "Mom left home so aren't you worried?" "Your mother..." "She can't live without me." "She'll be back today, so don't worry." "This time it's different." "Your mother is not a cruel woman." "She'll be away for only two days." "I survived through many hard times but why did I end up like this?" "Parents pay a shitload for college, but what do their kids do?" "I've never seen her go to school." "What a waste of money." "Mister, how about a cigarette?" "What?" "Cigarette?" "They're Hwanghee cigarettes." "I usually don't smoke bad brands." "But why do you live like this?" "You're not ashamed in front of your kids?" "To be honest..." "It's obvious you don't care about your life or how long it will last." "But what about your kids?" "The only enemy that my father had, was the college girl living in the back room." "Hey, don't smoke here!" "Good job, my daughter!" "What about your dad?" "Don't smoke!" "Of course, Your Highness." "I'm telling you, she's a commie!" "I'm sure of it!" "We should quickly question her beliefs in the name of the party!" "I worked at the Defense Security Command so I can tell right away." "Then how could you not know when she lived with you for a year?" "That's because she's that well-trained for me not to notice." "Anyway, she's not your average commie." "With that rude tongue of hers she talks just like a commie." "Anyway, don't you need my help for this election?" "Just staying put is helping us." "Don't start pre-election campaign rumors like before and just stay at home." "Just go away." "My father was a member of the Democratic Justice Party, but his goal was to be head of the district office" "But only Dad was the only one who didn't know that politics wasn't that easy." "Empty her room tomorrow!" "We can live without that rent money!" "Ma'am, sorry for all the trouble." "Here's the rent." "It's two months' worth." "Why two months?" "My dad sold some cattle." "I'd just spend it anyway if I hold on to the money." "Where's your Dad?" "Answer me now!" "I don't know." "My cosmetics..." "I worked so hard to save that money." "He's not my Dad." "He's my enemy." "I'm going to seek revenge." "I'm going to seek revenge." "You'd be such a perfect guy only if you had a job." "What a waste." "How many times did I tell you that money isn't everything?" "Anyway, what's a bar girl like me have the right to say that." "All jobs are of the same status." "Is that Jin-woo?" "Yes." "My one and only son." "Bring me some beer." "But you don't have any money..." "I can't put it on a tab today." "Raise your skirt." "Take my money." "It's not enough?" "You want me, Sohn Gyung-shik to write up an IOU for you?" "Forget it." "Give me three bottles of beer!" "He's making up his tab all at once!" "Since you drank milk for free, you're an accomplice." "By the way, have your grown any pubic hair?" "I'm your father, so it's okay to tell me." "I grew hair right when I was your age." "Congratulations." "Give me another turn." "No!" "Damn it." "Hey, boy!" "Where have you been?" "You're supposed to greet grown-ups with respect, boy." "Come here." "Bow." "Hello." "Did your father teach you how to bow like that?" "Put your hands down." "Do it again." "Hello, sir." "Rotten bastards." "Go give your Dad this drink." "Go give it to him." "Hey Miss, come and join us!" "Shall I?" "Hey, we have a guitar here so how about singing one of Nam-jin's songs" "Shut up." "You play it instead" "This guy doesn't know how to play the guitar" "Sing one of Nam-jin's songs!" "Are you drunk?" "Captain Q liquor is the best!" "This guy's out of reach with music." "Mr. Yang, your glass isn't full." "Come have a drink with me." "You're too cruel to me." "Every time I go to your store, you shouldn't treat me like that." "Shut up, you bastard." "When did you come here?" "Shut up, you fool." "Fix that hitting habit of yours." "Forget that your wife left you because of that?" "What?" "You hit women, too?" "Why do you live like that?" "You're out of line!" "You shouldn't hit a woman." "Fine!" "I hit my wife!" "She deserved it!" "She deserved to get hit?" "That's nonsense!" "I hit her because she deserved it!" "Shut up, you bastards!" "Who do we have here?" "Hello, Mrs. Sohn!" "Mrs. Sohn, please sit over here." "Come have some meat." "Have a seat," "Mrs. Sohn." "I really wanted to drink with you." "Wow" "Mrs. Sohn is a good drinker!" "Stay by my side." "Stay and don't leave me." "Longing for you far away" "I can't find your rainbow." "Sitting by the sunset window." "Looking at the floating cloud far away." "In the blowing cold wind." "You feel lonesome and cry." "I'll always stay by you." "I won't leave you." "In the blowing cold wind." "You feel lonesome and cry." "I'll always be by your side" "I'll never leave you." "You know how to sing, right?" "When thirty million sleep, we rise." "Let's go drink some more!" "Okay!" "I've sobered up already." "The day our laborers cry out!" "Strangely enough, Mom didn't deny my father that night." "Come to think about it, Mom and Dad haven't had sex for years." "Since there wasn't any other place to go and we were old enough to understand." "Intimacy combined with alcohol can often create these inscrutable circumstances." "Their action was neither lewd nor sensational." "Rather, my parents having sex while holding their breaths and avoiding our glance elicited sympathy and pity." "But there wasn't as much mercy for my bladder." "But my sister and I had a harder time holding our breaths." "Moon-jung, I'll make sure you live in luxury." "I love you, Moon-jung." "The moment my father's body trembled my bladder gave way as well." "My father went to his place after finishing his short love exchange with my mother." "And I didn't need to get up and go to the bathroom." " Your father?" " Yes?" " When the hell is your father coming back?" " But who are you?" "Are you Jin-woo?" "This guy looked cool like Leslie Chung in a Hong Kong movie." "Must've been hard coming here." "Have some food and go back home." "I didn't come to live with you, so don't rush me out like some beggar." "It's no use trying to blame your father now." "So take good care of your mother." "You really talk like it's nothing." "You're all grown up now." "so please try to understand your father." "My life ended back then, so that's why my life is in this shape." "Do you even remember mom's face?" "I don't remember." "And I don't want to remember." "What are you doing?" "Dad had to leave the army to fulfill my grandmother's last wish, getting married." "But Dad lived to regret his choice forever." "Once my grandmother had passed away, Dad also left Hyun-woo and Hyun-woo's mother." "When Hyun-woo's mother and young Hyun-woo found Dad," "Mom had just born my sister." "Hyun-woo's mother, who had a soft heart, couldn't harm my mother and father." "She helped my mother recuperate after giving birth." "And Hyun-woo grew up to be a notorious gangster in Yoosung city." "You come here and have a person to hate and blame." "But I don't have anyone to blame now." "I know I don't have to right to say this as I'm not entitled to be your father, but you shouldn't live like that Look at me." "Time flies." "Take care of your health" "For a 50-year old, you look like a grandfather" "Since it's late, sleep here and leave tomorrow." "Their mom works all night at the factory." "If you don't want to, that's okay." "Wait!" "Is your mother doing well?" "Please tell her that I'm very sorry." "Right after Hyun-woo had left, Dad left home." "No one in the family was curious as to where Dad was." "Because it was obvious that he went to the countryside." "Hello?" "My mother?" "Tell him that I'm not here." "Mom isn't home." "My dad?" "Tell him that he went to the countryside." "He went to the countryside." "Which town?" "To the countryside." "So which town?" "I said the countryside." "You idiot, is the countryside one place?" "Tell me the name of the city or town!" "It was then that I realized that the countryside wasn't just one region." "Why are you cursing out my boy?" "I just came in to answer the phone." "What?" "Did I borrow the money Why are you getting on my case?" "Ask the person who loaned it!" "Why should I pay back his gambling debt?" "Fine!" "Come and get me, you asshole!" "Even if I starve the death, I'd never pay back a bastard like you!" "See you after school" "Jin-woo!" "Let's go somewhere" "What about school?" "What about school?" "Are we there yet?" "Where are we going?" "We're not taking a taxi?" "Go cancel it." "Please cancel this." "You'd like to cancel this?" "There's not much left for the payment If you cancel it now, you'll lose a lot" " Just cancel it." " Okay, then." "Please fill out this form." "What are you doing?" "What's going on?" "I don't know." "She must be crazy." "I wanted to ask her what that was all about." "But I thought it would be better to just leave her alone." "Rather than worrying about my mom it was a selfish thought of mine thinking that my sister and I would hit the streets if she had lost her mind." "It was that day, when we were out of rice." "Is that hard work?" "Hey!" "Who is that?" "I picked him up off the streets." "He's clumsy but seems to work hard" "Okay, I'll go talk to him." "Chang-geun picked him up off the streets." "Tell him to come here" " What's your name?" " Jin-woo" " Your last name is Jin?" " No, it's Sohn Jin-woo." " Say ah" " What?" " What's your name again?" " Sohn Jin-woo." "Song Jin-woo, nice name" "From now on, you're in charge of Baebatgol." "Work as hard as Chang-geun!" "Are you going to work all night?" "I'll fucking kill you if you rat on me." "Take 1000 won from today." "That's all?" "Give me 1000 won more." "You kid, you're already getting greedy with money." "Be fucking grateful that I'm buying it." "Nobody buys your paper around here" "Damn it, you think this is the only place to sell papers?" "What, you punk?" " Exchange this, and a pack of Marlboro please." " Here's your Marlboro." " Thank you." " No, I'm the one who's thankful." "Hey, you asshole." "Fucking faggot!" "What if we get caught?" "Isn't it dangerous?" "No danger, no money, okay?" ""No danger, no money"?" "It's hard to live off of what you're given." "It's a fucking jungle out there." "What will you do after you make money?" "Going out to the world." "Boys be ambitious!" "You do know?" "Don't you smoke?" "That's a cool lighter." "Why don't you give me that?" "I'm just kidding, you idiot." "Shit, I gotta take a piss." "Please take this red rose" "Stupid fucking pussy." "The world started to spin like crazy after I began to smoke." " Are you okay?" " I told you that I'm okay." "When can I see you again?" "Just go back to the library." "I'd really like to ride on the duck boat with you on Han River someday" "Jin-sook!" "Don't you want to ride it with me?" "Hell no!" "You ride it yourself, damn it." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Who might this be?" "It's my one and only brother." "Here!" "Hey, do you smoke?" "Are you crazy?" " Who is it?" " Donghyang Daily!" "I almost peed on myself." "This girl is Han Soo-jin, our school's student president." "To explain briefly, she's like a goddess." "The paper fee, please... to all the boys and teachers in our school." "Mom!" "He wants money for the paper!" "I keep telling them not to send the paper!" "Stop delivering paper here!" "Hey, Donghyang Daily!" "Did you take the bike parked in front of my house?" "Hey, moron Dong-wan is asking you if you stole his bike, you fucking moron." "I don't want to be mean, but if I have to..." "I'm going to call the police if you don't put it back by tomorrow." "My uncle is a cop, you see." "Dong-wan's uncle is a cop at Sungbuk police station, boy." "I felt intimidated for some reason since I was outnumbered." "And because they were smart students of a rich family." "The fact that they were wearing Jordache from head to toe was a big factor." "I knew because Mom stole a jacket from the Jordache factory she worked at." "But I couldn't wear it because I was afraid that Mom's boss would see it." "Are you looking for your bike?" "Some guy rode on it a little while ago." "Really?" "You liar." "You know why I know that you lied?" "Because I never had a bike in the first place!" "Maybe because I was slow registering, I couldn't get what was going on." "Stupid asshole." "Hey, Han Soo-jin!" "You may think you're all that because you're the school president." "But no matter what, you can never beat me!" "Conversations between kids who were in the top of the class were hard to follow." "Thanks." "That was hundred times more humiliating than being harassed by Kim Dong-wan." "Protest against the leaders behind the Kwangju Massacre!" "Please save me!" "Ater that day, the girl who lived in the back room didn't return as Dad wished." "Cut the crap." "I'm serious." "That girl will be okay, right?" "Who cares if commies like her die or not." "Anyway, where are we going?" "Be quiet and just follow me." "Hey, you good-or-nothing bastard." "You play dirty just like the way you look." "Hey, women think I'm cute as hell and go crazy over me." "Stop bluffing, you asshole!" "This is Chu Jong-ong and his gang They own this neighborhood." "Drink up, bitch!" "You drive me crazy!" "Can't you count?" "God damn loser." "Acting up like a fucking idiot." "Jong-ong, isn't he going too far?" "I can't stand it when I see injustice being made." "Shall I go out and straighten him out?" "Yeah, go out!" "Go out and straighten him out!" "Well, I didn't mean that I'd go out now." "It's damn cold outside." "It's 15 below zero." "Let's have a drink." "We'll never be fucking losers like them." "Cheers to that!" "Hey!" "I have to go home!" "Hey!" "I have to go home!" "You didn't pay enough!" "Why aren't you sending me?" "Hey!" "I have to go home" "Chang-geun, what are you doing lately?" "Are you still delivering newspapers?" "It's humiliating." "Come hang with us." " Forget it." " Why?" "Life is about doing things on your own." "I'm heading out first." "See you outside." "It's damn cold" "It's not 15 below zero, it's 20 below." "Hey, it's a ditch." "We're not paying so run!" "If I take off my underwear and there's no money, then you're dead!" "What happened to that lady?" "That lady back there?" "She started working there not long ago." "She's fucking dumb as a rock." "She can't count." "Sometimes she takes more or less when she gets paid the drinks." "I think she's illiterate." "Anyway, that loser back there, he rubbed that bitch's tits like crazy, and didn't even tip her a dime." "Fortunately, no one knew who I really was." "She's not so pretty, either." "I feel kind of sorry for her." "You don't seem to know much." "Women like that are even worse." "She got herself into that fucking mess because she was too damn greedy." "It's pretty fucking obvious." "She sells liquor to minors It's clear as a video." "Women can never be trusted." "Don't you think so?" "Fucking asshole!" "Jin-woo!" "You bastard!" "What the fuck's wrong with him?" "I should've known after seeing Mom's make-up get thicker." "Raise your head." "If you work hard, it'll be better than working at the factory." "A lot of girls made enough to buy a house and left." "Work like a peasant and spend like a king, right?" "Son of a bitch." "Work like a peasant and spend like a king." "Work like a peasant and spend like a king." "I haven't seen you in a long time." "How have you been?" "You fucking piece of shit!" "You got some nerves ripping me off!" "Let's bet to see whether you'll go to jail or not!" "I'm sorry!" "I made a terrible mistake!" "If I go to jail, my grandmother will starve to death!" "I don't care if she starves to death!" "You're going to die today!" "Follow me!" "You bastard!" "Please forgive me just once" "Attention!" "At ease!" "What kind of baseball bat is this?" "It was Lee Man-soo's baseball bat with Park Chul-soon's signature." "The point of the Chief's speech was that getting beaten by this bat was an honor." "Do you see this signature?" "Stop picking your nose." "Watch carefully how I will make that bastard a new man with this bat." "Looking at the Chief swinging his bat wasn't a good sight." "It was the return of the Homerun King, Lee Man-soo." "But I didn't think that having pitcher Park Chul-soon's signature on batter Lee Man-soo's bat was strange back then." "Stand up, you tenacious bastard!" "Bastards without parents always screw up." "You're not supposed to treat them well." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "You asshole!" "Did you just hit me?" "Where the fuck are you going?" "Chang-geun!" "What are you doing?" "Shut up." "You're all sons of bitches!" "I'll burn all of you to death!" "Chang-geun!" "what's the matter with you?" "Think about your grandmother at home alone!" "If you go to jail, your grandmother will starve to death!" "Right, Chang-geun?" "Be a good boy, Chang-geun." "Fucking asshole!" "I hope you deliver papers your whole life and die, you motherfucker!" "The Chief seemed a bit shocked after hearing him say "motherfucker"." "Or after hearing Chang-geun telling him to deliver papers until he dies." "Any mutt will come home when he's hungry." "Dad came back home one year later." "Maybe because he was hungry." "His unexpectedness was still the same, but Dad was different from before." "Mom!" "Even Mom was a bit surprised to see that Dad quit smoking and drinking." "I guarantee you that your Dad will turn back to himself in a week." "I'm sure he's playing some trick in order to ask mom for something" "Shit, did he loan a lot of money from somewhere?" "Do you think I'll cry if your Dad dies?" "But you're his child, so wouldn't you cry?" "Absolutely not." "Such a thing will never happen." "But if I cry later I'll be okay, if you insult me in the most awful way." "And if your Dad piled up a mound of debt from somewhere, then I'll end this little bond we have..." "Jin-sook always tried to consciously deny her blood relations by saying "your Dad"." " Why?" "You think I can't?" " Yeah, sure you can" "It all started when she pretended to be Young-sook, Mr. Yang's daughter." "My sister needed a cataract operation, but Dad didn't have medical insurance." "So she had to be Mr. Yang's daughter and Mom was his wife for a few days." "Since then, my sister didn't want to call dad "Dad"." "You don't need to worry." "The surgery went well." "Thank you." "Young-suk, did you hear the doctor?" "He said the surgery went well." "Young-suk looks like more like her father without the glasses." "He's not my father!" "You poor child..." "The surgery must've been too much for her." "I'm sorry, but who are you?" "I'm Jin-sook's..." "Jin-sook?" "Young-sook!" "Young-sook's uncle..." "Doctor, it's time for the patient in room 308 to go into convulsions." "Take care of yourself, Jin-sook." "Thank you." "Don't cry." "Your eyes might get infected" "Mom, you know my friend Jung-hee?" "Her mom remarried and her new stepfather is an American G.I." "They're moving to America after she graduates." "America?" "That's great." "So can't you marry a foreigner, too?" " Watch your mouth!" " Why?" "I've never benefited from my parents before." "So what's wrong with asking now?" "How dare you say that to your parent!" "No matter what, he's your father." "Korean women are the problem." "Men live with no shame like that since women think suffering is natural." "Especially you!" "You're likely to do the same." "You gradually resemble your Dad and it makes me sick." "Mom, if you can't do it, then I will." "Do what?" "Marry!" "I'll marry an American and leave this rotten place forever." "I'll send you an invitation." "So be nice" "Yes, my sister." "Like "A Better Tomorrow"." "A hero eventually shows his true colors." "You're asking me to eat this crap?" "You may think I'm good-or-nothing now that you're making money." "Since I, Sohn Gyung-shik, won't make you starve to death!" "So close up that bar!" "And you, stop delivering newspapers!" "Did you just say that" "I'm some bar girl?" "Are you all ignoring your father?" "Your father is talking so how dare you!" "What's the meaning of this?" "Come here and sit down!" "I'm not done eating and you dare leave, woman!" "Let's eat." "What did you eat for your piss to smell like shit?" "Stop it!" "It hurts" "You stupid little bitch." "Don't you fucking understand?" "Your pussy's still going to be there even if you fuck me once!" "Why don't you go ask your mom!" " Let go of me!" " That was harsh." "Fucking bitch!" "Fucking bitch!" "I wanted to rescue Soo-jin like the hero of a Hong Kong action movie." "If I was a girl, I'd kiss Chang-geun right at that moment." "She's my friend." "So what?" "She's my friend so that's why I'm taking her with me." "Fuck you." "Come on." "She's my friend." "Fuck you." "Thanks for the offer, but go fuck yourself." "I'll take her with me, you fucker." "Fine, I'll let you slide since she's your friend." "What if you don't, you piece of shit?" "Hey, Chang-geun." "I'm sorry about what had happened before." "Forget it." "We're even now." "What is?" "Nothing, you dummy." "Let's just have a drink next time." "I'm making some money now" "Where do you live?" "I'm asking you, where do you live?" "I just saved your ass, damn it." "You want me to bring you back to those bastards?" "Just say it." "Samik Villa" "Is that so?" "Then you can go with me." "His house is the opposite way." "It's up to you." "You take her home instead" "No, take me home." "I'm leaving." "Hurry and go home Jong-ong might catch you." "That was 500 times more humiliating than what Kim Dong-wan did." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "The sun is up high and you're still sleeping?" "Meet in the yard in three minutes!" "Move it!" "Dad often confused this house with the barracks of the Defense Security Command." "But I need to watch "V" on TV today." "Watch the rerun." "Today is the rerun!" "Donovan can't die, Diana is a rotten bitch!" "I don't want to!" "I don't want to ride it." "Am I some baby to ride that?" "Please, come ride it with me just once." "Just forget it." "Don't ride it." "Jin-woo!" "Jin-sook!" "Jin-woo!" "Jin-sook!" "I'm sorry." "It's my first time doing this business." "Here I go." "Taking pictures is my first time, too." "I'm sorry." "Here I go!" "Gosh, this is too embarrassing." "Good!" "Here I go!" "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "I want black bean noodles." "Me, too." "A double serving." "You pig!" " Do you have sea-cucumber soup here?" " Yes, of course" "Then give us sea-cucumber soup and sweet and sour pork." "Yes, sir!" "Sea-cucumber soup, sweet and sour pork two black been noodles, one is a double!" "You can't even make money, but your appetite is high class." "Where'd you eat such high-class food?" "You're unbelievable." "Mom never ate black bean noodles because it's expensive!" "Sea-cucumber soup?" "Do you know how much it costs?" "It's so expensive that it's based on the market price!" "I got it so sit down" "And your mom doesn't like black bean noodles." "Unbelievable." "I'll be a bitch if I call you Dad ever again." "Jin-sook, that's harsh." "Don't call my name." "I'm not your daughter anymore" "So don't call my name so easily!" "I'm sick of the fact that you're my father!" "I have to go deliver the paper." "Good-bye." "Give me a bottle of Soju." "I realized that it was Sunday right after I left the Chinese restaurant." "Didn't you hear me!" "Get me a soju!" "Jin-sook hasn't come home yet, so how could you just sit around?" "They all act like that during their teens." "Bring me a cup of sweet water." "Jin-sook!" "Jin-sook, what are you doing?" "Jin-sook." "Don't touch me!" "I was wrong, so please stop." "Your mom couldn't sleep at all last night worrying about you." "When have you ever worried about Mom?" "Do you hate your dad that much?" "You're not even worth hating." "I'm apologizing to you." "So please stop." "It's also hard on me." "Your father is also suffering." "Mom, Jin-woo and I are all suffering because of you." "I feel like dying because of you." "Yes, I know that you're all suffering because of me." "So from now I'll try my hardest, so please try to understand me, too." "If you do this, you're only telling me to leave." "You want me to leave?" "Do you want me leave and just die?" "You know better that no one here cares at all about you leaving." "But why did you come back?" "Why are you here?" "Aren't you ashamed of looking at your children?" "Is that the truth?" "You really don't care if I go out and die?" "Leave." "I don't care whether you die or not, so just leave." "Because of whom does Mom work at a bar?" "Because of whom does Mom work there?" "It's all because of you." "You made Mom into a sleazy bar girl!" "How dare you." "If we're going to live like this..." "I'd rather you leave and just die." "I'd feel much better." "Minky was a mutt but he was smart." "Did I tell you how it happened?" "Why Dad called him Minky?" "When you were young, you loved to watch the "Fairy Princess Minky"." "So I gave him the name Minky." "But why did you eat Minky?" "Why didn't you say anything to those dog thieves?" "This is a secret." "Actually, I got 10,000 won at that time." "But you have a really good memory." "With that memory you'd be a good student, but why are you living like that?" "Know what the biggest regret in my life is?" "Not being educated." "As you know, your dad's appearance isn't so bad" "But why I live like this is because I'm uneducated." "So quit your job and study real hard, so that you can go to Seoul University." "My friend Chang-geun makes money and supports his whole family." "What will you do after you make money?" "Leave here and go out to the world." "Keep dreaming, stupid!" "Even if you have money, people look down on you if you're not educated." "Of course, it's worse if you don't have both, like your father." "So in order not to be like me study as hard as you..." "I'm not going to college!" "I'm going to a vocational high school to learn a skill." "I'm going to make money to support Mom and I don't need go to school." "So it's okay to deliver papers during that time." "And do you think anyone can just go to college?" "Think anyone can just go, just because they study hard?" "Do you know how much the tuition is?" " How much?" " It's more than one million won." "But we don't have any money." "We don't even have money to live on, so how can I go to college?" "But if you're a good student, you can get a scholarship." "You can go to any college in Seoul, not just Seoul University if it's hard." "My Jin-woo is all grown up now." "Seeing that you're answering back to me now." "Yeah, I shouldn't have worried about you, since you're all grown up now." "Jin-woo." "Believe in God." "Like Mom wished, Dad left home and passed away." "Dad had a stomach cancer operation before he had returned home." "Complaining about the food at home and not eating cheap MSG-illed Chinese food was all due to his cancer." "Dad's last words were to use one million won that he left as my college tuition fee." "But one million won that Dad saved all his life wasn't even enough for the funeral." "Dad worked at a gas station in order to make that money." "And he eventually died there while filling up gas." "The image that could explain my deceased Dad, was his naked thin body." "And some dried-up feces he seemed to have excreted in anger at the world." "While lying on the cold floor, he looked pitiful, like his black dried-up feces." "Gyung-shik!" "How could you leave us like this?" "I was wrong!" "I deserve to die!" "I kept thinking whether I should insult my sister in an awful way." "Rotten bitch." "Why aren't you all eating?" "You should eat well during times like this." "The ones left behind should live on." "Jin-woo, you want more?" "Please give me some more." "The soup is really delicious." "Okay" "Party Affiliation Card" "This cigarette tastes terrible." "Leave him alone to die like that." "Being a gangster like that in Yoosung is a shame to our family." "He could die somewhere in no time." "I feel sorry for Hyun-woo the most." "When his mother died, Gyung-shik didn't even show up." "You think he'd want to come?" "But he shouldn't do that." "Hyun-woo said he'd come for sure." "I think something happened to him." "Until then I thought the Chief was from Seoul" "Fucking hell!" "You fucking little punk..." "Tell me once more." "What in the hell did you say?" "I want to quit delivering the paper." "You even don't need a warning" "The Chief began to hit my small unripe buttocks with Lee Man-soo's bat which had Park Chul-soo's signature on it." "The Chief spoke in a strong dialect." "Here's what he said if I translate it." "I am an ignorant, ungrateful son of a bitch." "If I ever make it to the army, I'd be dead meat." "Whatever I do I couldn't avoid my fate." "Missing College Student, Kim Eun Young, Found Dead" "When the bat smashed my rear end, my memories came back to me." "Motherfucker!" "I tell you, you always have to beat the shit out of these orphans." "The girl inside the black and white photo was the girl who lived in our back room." "Her last name written in Chinese was "Geum"." "But I still couldn't remember her name." "You son of a bitch!" "You asshole!" "You fucking murderer!" "I hope you deliver papers your whole life and die, you motherfucker!" "Chang-geun didn't return that day." "And the story that I heard was probably a rumor." "But rumors sometimes seem more real than the truth." "Chang-geun." "Man, you're going to swallow her up." "You already screwed her?" "Let's share her." "What the fuck did you say?" "Chang-geun, we meet again." "We seem to see each other often." "You fucking asshole!" "Do I look like a rat dick to you?" "Stupid ass." "Why are you complaining about your dick size to me, you motherfucker!" "You're dead meat today." "It's okay." "Don't worry" " Chang-geun, do you feel better?" " Fuck you!" "Our Chang-geun knows how to take a good beating." "He should've become a boxer." "Hey, asshole!" "Chang-geun!" "Chang-geun!" "You fucking bitch!" "Shut up!" "That's enough." "I said that's fucking enough!" "You're all being too cruel." "Are you okay?" "You should go to the hospital." "Get out of my face, asshole." "Chang-geun, tell him you're sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "Please spare us!" "Shut up and worry about yourself." "You're next so wait your turn." "Since your girl is begging like this, I'll let you slide if you beg for forgiveness." "Fuck you, asshole!" "No thanks." "You go fuck yourself, bitch." "Chang-geun, this is your last chance." "Get the fuck out of my face you motherfucker!" "Good-bye, Chang-geun." "What the fuck did you say, tough guy?" "Fuckers these days think they're All fucking Leslie Chung or some shit." "Movies screwed up their heads, damn it." "Chang-geun is an okay guy, but not having any manners is his problem." "Chang-geun, you should've apologized when you had the chance." "That sounds fucking sexy." "Make that sound when I fuck you, alright bitch?" "Please save me." " Who said I'll kill you?" " Save me, please!" "You cold-hearted bitch." "You're asking for your own mercy?" "Please save me." "Please save me." "I apologize." "Please save me." "Actually, I knew well that Jong-ong's revenge on Chang-geun wasn't planned." "But sniffing glue and gasoline makes losers like them feel almighty." "They can obtain that courage with only 500 won" "That might be why they crave for glue and gasoline." "Be grateful that he's not going to jail." "It's absolutely not because of this broken arm and bruised head." "I want you to know that I'm not some cheap guy." "Yes, of course" "But this bat..." "This bat that Lee Man-soo hit his 100th home run with..." "This is my life and asset of Korean baseball circles." "You don't understand?" "You don't seem like you do." "I'm doing this because I'm understanding." "Others would be different." "Your son's life would be over" "Yes, thank you." "If he has no father, then at least his mother should teach him well." "That's why people call him a bastard." "I'm saying this because I'm worried about him." "I'm deeply moved by your wise words." "I will teach my foolish son well." "Sorry, I'm busy." "Listen to your mother." " Thank you." " You don't need to see me out." "Thank you." "Please don't come out" "Thank you." "Please don't come out" "Be careful on your way." "What are you so scared of?" "Be a man." "You should've smashed his head." "It would've made me feel much better." "You want me to cook you some meat tonight?" "Give me 600 grams of pork." "How do you know, damn it?" "Because I screwed her the other day, you idiot." "What are you so scared of?" "Be a man." "Hurry up and let's go." "The hoes are waiting" "Jin-woo!" "It's that dumb bitch!" "Oh yeah, the titties!" " I didn't know" " Let's go" "You want some, bitch?" "Let's go, Jin-woo," "Jong-ong's father was the district chief." "Jong-ong was released because of a lack of evidence." "It was then that I understood why Dad wanted to be the district chief." "The insurance was the only inheritance left behind by Dad" "A lot of money fell on Mom's hands thanks to not canceling the insurance." "But a lot of it was gone since she paid off the Chief." "Then study on your own." "How could you just leave?" "It's my first day on the job." "Will you take responsibility if I'm late?" "Why should I be responsible for that?" "Write it down a hundred times until I come back home from work." "I'm busy!" "You don't even work, so why are you busy?" "Just bring home a lot of money!" "I married my husband when I was nineteen." "My husband's name is Sohn Gyung-shik." "My daughter's name is Sohn Jin-sook." "My son's name is Sohn Jin-woo." "My name is" "Goh Moon-jung." "Come hurry and take the photo!" "I entered a vocational high school, which I yelled at Dad about." "Hurry up!" "Mom, shall we eat Chinese food after the graduation?" "I got paid, so shall I buy you sea-cucumber soup?" "Let's eat roast pork ribs instead of black bean noodles." "Mom, you don't like black bean noodles?" "All I ate was ramen noodles when I had you two long time ago." "I'm sick of noodles now." "Smile!" "Say cheese!" "What's with the frowns?" "Give a big smile" "Mom, worry about your smile, instead." "Jin-sook, you look the strangest." "Park Jung-hee!" "Hurry and take the picture!" "She's Jung-hee?" "Yes, why?" "When is she moving to America?" "Her father cut off all communications after he went to America." "Good!" "I'll take the picture now!" "One!" "Two!" "Three" "There were two family photos in my wallet." "It wasn't inconvenient having two separate photos that could be one." "Party Registration ID" "The Democratic Justice Party that Dad worshiped disappeared with the eighties." "The Democratic Freedom Party became the new ruling party." "My memory of that card ended along with the Democratic Justice Party" "Three times one is three." "Three times two is nine." "It's not nine, you dummy." "It was then that I realized that Chang-geun and Soo-jin may have never met." "The admirable Chang-geun that I remembered could have been a character that I made up in my head." "If so, then Chang-geun could have been less pitiful." "Like jamais vu, everything that I was familiar with became unfamiliar to me." "You're the man now, huh?" "Why are you late?" "We're leaving so hurry and get in." "What could Dad have been thinking while looking at those clouds?" "I thought that the clouds being dragged here and there by the wind could be like the dog-like life that Dad had lived." "Go." "Go away, you idiot!" "Go away!" "Go away, you stupid asshole!" "Jin-woo!" "Jin-woo!" "Jin-woo!" "Go away, you son of a bitch." "Like magic, Chang-geun disappeared along with the lighter." "I still didn't shed a tear." "Although I still remember Chang-geun," "I don't remember Chang-geun's face anymore."
