My friend sang it.

A Iost baby bird

- Cries because it misses its mom

- Don't sing it when we eat.

You want to Iisten to

Yeun-hee, I have to work now.

I can't work if you

keep saying strange things.

I'm serious!

My friend came here, too.

You want me to punish you?

Why?

Stop eating and go to your room.

You're strange!

It's me.

When will you come here?

What are you talking about?

Lately, Yeun-hee is...

I have to go to class now,

Okay.

But what's the matter?

Nothing!

Forget about it.

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Are you alright?

I told you not to talk to strangers.

I didn't say a word.

I didn't even answer her questions.

I saw everything.

Don't Iie to me.

I didn't say anything!

I hate you!

That woman lives in the nursery

behind the station,

She's hard to talk to.

Tell her I don't

want to be interrupted.

She won't hurt you so don't worry.

The Iocals are so excited to have

a visitor they're having a feast.

Mr. Yang is going to

catch a hog and cook it.

But I doubt he'II catch one.

We used to have a Iot of

visitors Iong time ago.

But not many these days since

we don't advertise much.

It's hot.

People want to change this place

into a fishing area.

But my dad is against it.

Ouch, it's hot.

My dad turned this town.

Into a tourist attraction.

He was the sheriff here.

People still call him 'sheriff'.

This used to be the police station.

1988, Repair Work Commemoration

Stop spreading around dumb rumors.

And what's with your hair?

Oh, hello Mrs. Baek.

Can I help you with anything?

It gets boring over there.

Come visit the town sometime.

Drinking will help you come up

with some ideas.

No one can get creative

by drinking with you.

Mrs. Baek, ignore him.

Ask Chan-shik if you need anything.

We're all Iike neighbors

and family here.

You know that I Iove you

very much, right?

Do you want to tell me?

Okay, tell me the story.

I want to hear it.

What did yourfriend say?

Do you really want to hear it?

You're serious, right?

Now Iet's hear

what Yeun-hee has to say.

My friend Iives upstairs.

She planned to meet someone here,

but that person was a bad man.

That man Ioved her very much.

Yeun-hee.

Yeun-hee.

Mom.

Mom, what are you doing?

Yeun-hee, where did you hear

that story you told me yesterday?

My friend told me.

Don't Iie to me.

Who told you?

I told you that

your friend doesn't exist.

She doesn't exist, understand?

That's okay.

You don't have to believe me.

I Iike it when you smile.

You always smile a Iot

when you win first place.

No, that's not true.

AII I need is you, Yeun-hee.

I Iove nothing

more than my Yeun-hee.

So, don't play with your friend.

Promise me.

My friend lives upstairs,

But that person is a bad man,

Why is it so hard to see you Iately?

I've been busy.

Yesterday was the faculty meeting.

It reached the final evaluation,

but many were against it.

It won't be easy.

What's the reason this time?

It's obvious.

No one Iikes controversies here.

I didn't know your wife's problem

would have such an effect.

She has nothing to do

with me anymore.

Don't get so excited, man.

You should've divorced her already.

Don't you know

what the university wants?

Yeun-hee,

do you still meet your friend?

I don't play with her any more.

I'd Iike to hear more

about your friend.

She's weird.

She keeps saying the same stuff.

Same stuff?

What could it be?

Yeun-hee, what does she keep saying?

What does she say?

Yeun-hee, I'm going

through a hard time.

PIease tell me more about her.

I won't play with her any more.

It's no fun.

Yeun-hee.

What did your friend say?

Yeun-hee, wait a minute!

Yeun-hee, please wait.

Wait...

Yeun-hee, please wait.

Yeun-hee, please wait.

Wait...

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

Why are you here?

It's time to finish the repairs.

It'II be over soon.

But are you really okay?

I shouldn't have Iet the sheriff

turn this place into a tourist spot.

He invested everyone's

savings into this place.

How many tourists stayed at

this house in the past 20 years?

I sold all my Iand.

I really don't know why the sheriff

is against the fishing business.

Why'd you stop talking?

Did you talk behind my back?

We were just talking between us.

What about?

I'm not supposed to hear it?

I told you it wasn't important.

PIease tell me.

You were saying some

fun stuff, huh?

You meathead!

We were talking about you!

Satisfied?

Going to stay in this tiny town?

Your friends seem to

make good money.

Why'd you bring that up again?

Can people only make money

in the city?

Head of the

Youth Group is the best.

I acknowledge it.

Whatever.

Did you forget the staple again?

Ah, the staple!

That dumb boy.

Where is the staple?

Yeun-hee, do you want to go home?

Can we go?

Okay, after I write this.

It's almost finished.

So tell me more

about your friend, okay?

I'm not playing with her anymore.

She's putting you

through a hard time.

No, I'm okay.

I'm totally fine.

So tell me more

about her, okay?

No! No!

Mommy will get mad.

Tell me what happened that day!

Let go of me!

Stop being such a brat!

I hate you!

Artists are so unusual.

Writing isn't an art!

That's fantastic!

Live in Iuxury now that

your son is a doctor.

If my son wins a gold medal

at the OIympics,

he won't even Iook at you all.

You all are full of crap.

Your son doesn't even

show up at your ancestral rite.

Dad! Dad!

Sheriff, you're the

Iuckiest of us all.

Having your son by your side

is the best, right?

Why are you so clumsy?

You see...

Really?

She's writing about our town.

I saw pictures of it on the wall.

Okay, I understand.

- Go sit down and eat.

- Chan-shik, come have a drink.

Right then.

A sound was heard...

I don't play with you any more,

Let go! It hurts,

Do you keep in touch

with your friends?

Your four-friend gang

was famous at one time.

We don't keep in touch anymore.

Damn it, Iet me talk, too.

What's wrong with him?

Let me go!

I have the right to talk!

You all want me to speak anyway!

Sheriff, why are you against

the fishing business?

Hide some gold there

or something?

Cut it out!

Change it into a fishing spot,

but what value will it have?

If it doesn't work out,

we change it again.

Do you know

who's staying in that house?

A best-selling writer.

Do you know what that means?

Think all you want.

I'm way ahead of you all.

Just wait and see.

This writer will feed our town.

Just wait!

Yeun-hee!

I can't work

because of the noise!

I'II get mad!

You think I can't open this?

You...

Yeun-hee.

Who is it?

Yeun-hee.

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee! Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Open the door, Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

What happened to you?

Are you okay?

My friend told me the story.

Mom, I'm scared.
