My Brilliant Life Page #2

So disgusting!

I don't believe this, what the f***!

"A Boy with Progeria Talk of Town"

- It's him, right?

- Look.

Could we take a photo together?

1, 2, 3!

Thank you!

Get well soon!

Bye, study hard!

- Good luck!

- Thank you!

- Shall we?

- Okay.

So you attended P.E. school

to become a taekwondo player?

Nope.

Then what did you want to be?

Well...

I didn't know the answer to that.

The only thing I liked about taekwondo

was the uniform.

Can you be good at it and hate it

at the same time?

Sure, so many people are like that.

A friend of mine was a top ranked math student,

but he said never once enjoyed it.

You had a friend like that? That's a stretch.

Son.

Don't patronize me just because you look older.

Us former athletes are sensitive to that.

Okay, okay.

- Good night.

- Take care.

Hey honey! Get in the back.

Why?

Tada!

- For our family!

- Cheers!

Your mom's in drinking mood.

This feels so nice.

Why do I love the windy day so much?

Me too.

Wind moves electrons in the air to other atoms,

which is what makes you feel good.

So smart!

Who does he take after?

Isn't that obvious? Me of course.

What, it's true!

He likes ice slurry, hates bean rice,

long toes,

good sense of humor and so considerate too.

Calling all the good traits?

He's got the beautiful eyes and brain from me.

He has my eyes.

Shut it, get some more beer!

- Come with?

- Okay.

Dad, washroom.

- Sure, I'll be here.

- Okay.

Are you really a kid?

So friggin' weird.

Maybe he's an alien.

They said on TV...

His disease makes him old super fast.

Let me go.

Give it back!

- Holy sh*t!

- What the f***!

Damn...Is it contagious?

Ahreum?

Dad!

You okay? Your hat?

"Dad"?

That's his dad?

What a great son, taking his elderly father

for a walk.

How can a human give birth to a gollum?

Gollum.

What did you say?

Hold this and stay behind me.

Dad...

Trust me.

Stay back.

Dammit!

Hot dang!

Hot!

Dang!

Barn! Barn! Barn!

Hot dang!

Grab him!

Enough! Please stop!

Hot dang!

Dad, no...

Oh no...

Are you okay? I'm so sorry...

What the hell?!

My son's ill, and they were teasing him,

- so my husband...

- They are rascals!

You attacked us first!

Come here!

Hit me!

Come at me!

Nice going, just how old are you?

You got an anger issue!

You promised never to fight!

Then should I let them tease him

and do nothing?

They called him 'gollum', would you hold back?!

What kind of father would I be?!

Dammit...

Now I'm pissed.

Sh*t!

I'll shred those sons of b*tches...

We have to stop her!

Mira!

Sweetie!

Mira! Mira!

I'm sorry, I'll never fight again.

Let go of me!

Where are you going? They're gone.

I'll whip you too!

Don't touch me.

Mira!

Mira! Please!

Tonight, I finally saw...

'Sh*t Princess' and 'Incompetent Swing Kick'.

This is where the artery ruptured slightly.

We were lucky, it could've led to a stroke.

How could we not have known about it?

The migraine must've been painful.

He never said anything?

I told you to say something if you felt pain.

When am I ever not in pain?

How could you let this happen?

He may not live past this year...

Doctor...

- Ahreum.

- Yes?

Could you go outside for a bit?

I want to hear it.

Honey, please go outside.

Brain's one thing,

but the arteries could rupture soon.

Think of it as...

a ticking time bomb in his heart.

Admit him right away, we can't help otherwise.

Weather's so nice!

Let's walk a little bit.

Sweetie, don't stare.

Let's go home.

I didn't know he lived here.

Walk faster, people are staring.

Probably admiring my beauty.

Aren't you embarrassed?

Of what? Why should I be?

What's with you?

You're sick. Don't mind anything else.

Don't mind the stares or the bills,

just act your age.

Complain and cry like a kid if it hurts!

But I don't look like a kid.

They stare because you wear this

like a celebrity.

Han Ahreum, look at me.

Who am I?

I was a teenage mom.

How many years have we walked this road?

13 years.

Right.

Your uncle cried like a baby

after his circumcision,

when he was your age.

But you went through treatments

that are far worse.

Yeah...

Not everyone can do that.

You're doing something incredible.

So, walk proud and let them stare, got it?

Okay.

Let's go.

- But mom...

- Yeah?

I heard circumcision is really painful...

How'd you know?

I read it online.

But not as painful as giving birth.

Mom wrote down dad's best

and worst qualities.

According to her, his best qualities

were 'tall and kind'.

His worst were...

'too tall, and too kind'.

- I felt it!

- Wow!

So cool!

But her dad thought otherwise.

"The only thing he's good

at is getting my daughter pregnant!"

Then grandma said

"at least he's good at something".

"1 New E-mail"

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha.

I'm 16, same age as you.

I managed to get your e-mail

from the TV station.

They probably took pity on me

because I'm sick too.

After seeing your episode,

I thought we could be friends.

A minute of my life

feels like an eternity too.

Good luck, wish you well.

Lee Suh-ha?

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha. Same age as you.

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha. Same age as you.

Hi. My name is Lee Suh-ha.

Same age as you.

It's all my fault.

What is?

I think it was all my fault.

Mira, it's no one's fault, it just happened.

Doctors said so, it's not genetic.

If only I didn't do that then...

Ahreum wouldn't be like that.

How many times have I told you?

It was a random mutation.

Jogging while pregnant didn't cause it.

My mom didn't know she was pregnant

and did all kinds of exercises.

No!

I ran 10, 20 laps all night until

my heart was ready to explode!

I prayed, 'please don't let it be born'.

Dae-su...

Could our baby...ever come home again?

Don't say that.

I ran 10, 20 laps all night until

my heart was ready to explode.

"That Brilliant Summer"

I prayed, 'please don't let it be born'.

"Would you like to permanently erase

'Cosmos.hwp'?"

'Please don't let it be born'.

Mr. Jang, I'll be admitted tomorrow.

That's good.

When do you discharge?

Well...When I get better.

You'll be out in no time.

Does that taste good?

Soju?

It's foul, of course.

Then why do you drink it?

Do you stop living because life's foul? Nope.

Same can be said about soju.

Damn, that'll kill me!

Strange, eh?

You're too young to know.

- Mr. Jang?

- Yes?

Is it normal for a girl to see me

and want to be my friend?

How could that be normal?

She's probably sick too.

How did you know? That she's sick?

Can't I even joke?

Why? Does she like you?

It's not that...l got an e-mail.

Did you reply?

It's a bit annoying.

Yeah, girls are annoying.

But curious too...

Yeah, girls are curious beings.

And...

- Hey!

- Yeah?

Why are you so complicated, you idiot.

Just do what you feel.

Yeah, as I feel.

Look, it's your father.

Father!

I'm off.

Dad! Dad!

This isn't our home.

Good afternoon.

Who is this gentleman?

It's Ahreum next door!

Pleased to meet you, sir.

Come on, dad.

- Ahreum, see you!
