"It's cologne I bought in Shanghai." "This is a photo of me." "Thank you." "Your phone's not working, have you checked my message?" "No, yesterday it got wet in the rain." "It needs to be fixed." "I see..." "You can't fix a wet phone, can you?" "Check my message later." "Okay." "Excuse me." "Let's really talk next time" "Okay." "What's that on your neck?" "What?" "You should have told me... about your relationship with her." "You didn't say anything." "Did you ask Myungsuk to come?" "No, I only mentioned" "I am leaving this morning." "But here she is." "It bothers you, doesn't it?" "Kyungsoo." "Don't ask for more than a man can take!" "Yeah." "I know." "This is enough." "Let's say our goodbyes here" "Goodbye." "But, I..." "It's really okay." "I need to talk to Sungwoo." "So just stay here." "Goodbye." "Are you an artist?" "No, why do you ask?" "No, you just seem like one." "I see." "Are you good at Go?" "Not really." "Just a bit." "How about a game?" "No, I can't play." "She's beautiful." "Is that your girlfriend?" "I don't have one yet." "Then why do you carry that photo?" "She's a real beauty." "Would you like to have it?"

"You weren't answering your phone." "Should I just give up?" "Wait here." "I'll check inside." "I'll wait here." "I forgot to bring my wallet." "It's okay." "It's so funny." "This has never happened to me before." "It's because you drink too much." "Alcohol does this?" "Does your husband work in Chuncheon?" "No." "I think I've seen him there." "What?" "When I was in Chuncheon." "I saw him with a woman in a duck paddle boat." "My husband?" "How do you know him?" "I think I met him this morning." "Why did you meet him?" "I just did by chance."
