Love Fiction Page #3

Yes!

In the yellow journalism?

My book isn't even going anywhere.

So, try writing something light.

Don't think too much.

Something people will read

in subways while going to work.

Something erotic?

That'd be great!

Where are you going?

I'll finish 'Femme Fatale' by next week.

Expect me to believe that!

I'll write it.

I've been waiting for 2 years!

Why didn't you write it then?

Is this all I am to you?

I'll return your deposit.

Writing a serial in a tabloid

is the end for a writer!

After a series there,

no literary paper will print my work!

Try living diligently like

serial story writers.

Writing every day!

Think it's easy writing novels

people want to read!

Where's your sense of calling!

How many words do you write a day?

Your head's filled with delusional vanity.

Think you're some

Nobel Prize winning author?

Fine! Go!

I'm sorry.

YOU DON'TKNOW SH*T HOWI FEEL

Hello?

It's Heejin.

Did I wake you?

No, Heejin.

I was just working.

Wanna watch a movie?

A movie? Which one?

It's a screening for

one of our imported films.

Do you like melodramas?

Of course, summer's for melos.

Is it? Wasn't it fall?

Almost forgot.

Bring anyone you'd like to.

What?

I have extra tickets.

Bring your friends.

Right. Okay, bye.

To Werther who wanted to love,

so cruel was the girl

who didn't see his feelings.

Kaurismaki or Mickey Mouse

some director from Finland's

all too slow film started.

But I was too crossed to concentrate on it.

That's it. Right there, babe.

That's it.

Wake me when it's over.

Why's it so long?

The movie rocked!

Great movie and awesome food.

So, that's why!

Great movie, right?

That's nice.

Over here.

Wait here.

This is KHOO Joo-wol.

He's a novelist.

This is director HwANG Hyun-chul

of The Ghost Theater Murders.

- Pleasure.

- Nice to meet you.

Heejin has an exceptional taste in films.

That's my point.

Someone who imports films

shouldn't have a unique sense.

Even if it's same as others,

it's hard to succeed.

But

I loved how the man confessed

his love to the woman.

It was a little curt, but very sincere.

It was overly dramatic.

Confession of love is

the most dramatic moment.

Like everything in the world

vanishes except for the two.

Ever got proposed to like that?

Me? No.

Who'd do something so romantic for me?

Korean men must all be blind.

Leaving a pretty lady like you alone.

I guess Korean men are blind.

Yes, I'm a Korean man.

But I know.

How intoxicatingly beautiful you are.

But you don't know.

How mercilessly you rip apart my heart.

Thank you.

Out novelist is quite good

at mixing drinks.

I work as a bartender on the side.

Great.

- Mix one for me.

- Me, too.

How about a game folks?

Drink if you speak English.

You're drunk.

How long are you going to just sit there?

Did you come here to serve

drinks in front of her?

I don't know what she wants.

Can't you see it in her eyes?

Her eyes are crying out to you.

To wisk her away from these dreadful men!

Take heart! Don Quixote!

- I'm out.

- What?

Welcome back.

What was it? Right, KHOO.

We can't drink without you.

We need you to mix

the drinks. Here.

Now, Heejin.

Tell us about your life in the States.

Alaska?

Gotcha!

- Again!

It's a name, how can I not use English?

Just say, the 50th state in America.

Right. Right.

But that's Hawaii.

- Gotcha!

- Again!

I don't believe this.

Hurry up and drink.

Here.

Go on!

- Drink up!

- That's good.

One more drink.

You got caught twice.

I don't want to play this anymore.

- No way!

- Please, I can't.

- You have to.

- A rule is a rule!

I don't want to.

- Gotcha!

- You, too.

Why? Oh, rule.

Rule, rule, rule.

This is hard.

That's good.

Come on! I drank.

You, too!

- Drink up.

- Let me off the hook, once?

Heejin! I'll drink it for you.

Who asked you?

Why?

Nice.

Keep talking, Heejin.

About the States.

Stop it! I keep getting caught

talking about Alaska.

- Gotcha!

- Again!

Heejin? Don't polar bears

live in Alaska?

And siberian huskies and reindeers.

I heard it's a f***ing great place.

I spoke English.

What's with him?

Sorry.

You think you're some big hotshot?

Say, what?

Stop it. That's enough.

Come on.

Our dear Mr. KHOO.

He thinks he's some great guy

to save someone.

When I think he's f***in' nothing.

Hey! You know me?

We just met today.

Ever read my book?

How can you say that

to someone you just met!

So strange.

Oh, you wanna look good

to Heejin, is that it?

What the hell can you do?

What the hell can you show?

What f***ing great thing

can you show! Show us, then!

Sh*t!

Live or die? Live or die?

Now.

Before you gentlemen here.

To charge that lady,

I stand and risk being rude!

With her noble character, generous beauty,

humble intelligence, and stable

humor she burned my heart.

Charged with the same deadly charm

that led werther to death.

I stand her in the court of Cupid!

She keeps me up at nights.

And makes me shudder in frail

comparison to her perfection.

Elegance, honor, hope,

joy, peace, enchantment

and sexiness are all hers.

Only depravity, sadness, despair, chaos,

mediocrity, and banality

are permitted to me.

Who are you?

Who am I to you? Heejin?

She is guilty!

He's good.

It was boring, right?

No.

I had fun, thanks to you.

Really?

How's your book coming?

I'm thinking of writing something else.

With your sense, I'm sure it'll be great.

I just hope it won't be garbage.

Come on. Cheer up.

I'm sure it'll be great.

Heejin, can you help me?

Me? How?

Seeing your face, I get so inspired.

A writer's pick up line.

Win many girls with that?

It's not a line.

I'll take a taxi from here.

Good night, Heejin.

You were great tonight.

Good night.

The sharp kiss of that night

changed my destiny completely.

I was deafened by her sweat voice.

I was blinded by her dazzling beauty.

She was my exclamation mark

and I was her period.

She said the weather was nice

and I rented a car.

She seemed somewhat sad

and I burst into silly dances.

She was sometimes a question mark.

She asked me what love is and

I said, the fear of losing her.

She asked for a solution to global warming.

I answered, all human kind

living in the nude.

Can I ask you something?

What?

Anything but why I got divorced.

That's what you want to know?

Don't tell me if you don't want to.

You're dying to know.

Just wondering why he left

such a lovable lady.

It was cuz of my braces.

Braces?

I had braces to close a gap

in my front teeth.

We were having lunch together at home.

He said my braces shining

in the sun bothered him.

Can't you eat with your mouth closed?

So, I asked him.

Don't you love me anymore?

And he nodded.

You broke up cuz of that?

He got me the braces.

I found out later, he had a woman.

She was my dentist.

You'll get tired of me, too.

No way. Never.

It's okay. Nothing's forever.

I'll love you even if

all your teeth fall out.

Everything in the past happened
