My Brilliant Life Page #4

and he spent his summer swimming in the valley.

When mom showed up,

he thought she was a fairy.

Mom wanted to move to Seoul to become a singer.

And dad wanted to be a national athlete.

All over the nose, isn't it, Suh-hyun?

Could you adjust Suh-hyun's hair?

Her make-up looks natural today.

I'm always like that.

I want my skin to glitter more.

Did you try the earrings?

Yeah, the pearls.

The two of us will escort them to the studio.

Wait, is he new?

He's really hot.

Wow!

Hello!

He's my senior,

we used to work together.

Senior?

You look so much younger.

How old are you?

He looks young,

but he has a 16-year old son.

Seriously?

So when did you have your son?

When I...was 17...

What? Are you serious?

Wow! 17!

- Standby!

- Okay!

We're en route.

This is Star Date

with Girl's Generation.

Let's welcome 3 members from the group!

Hello! Let's start our date!

It's been a long time,

so many of your fans are waiting

for you outside.

- Thank you!

- Hi!

Mom,mom.

Isn't that dad?

What the!

What the hell is he doing there?

I don't believe this...

...wanted to coordinate.

So beautiful! Very bling bling!

Bling bling!

What was that?

Huh? Nothing.

Ahreum.

Mr. Seung-chan.

A present.

Thank you.

Could I talk to you for a minute?

Sure.

Are you still in contact with Suh-ha?

Yes.

Do you have her contact info?

Only her e-mail address.

Is that so?

Can I get that from you?

Why?

We had a meeting at the station,

and we thought of introducing the friendship

between you and Suh-ha

in the follow-up episode.

What? I told you to keep it to yourself!

I'm so sorry. It slipped out by accident.

But...can't you help me out?

She probably will say no.

If she says no, of course I won't do it.

But going on TV could help her as well.

And this could be your chance

to meet her in person.

Have you ever liked someone?

My mom, dad,

grandma, grandpa,

and Girl's Generation's Tae-yeon.

Oh! And Mr. Jang next door.

Cut! Cut!

You okay? Honey?

I guess it'll be hard to continue?

How can you even ask me that?

Yeah, I thought so...

ls Ahreum okay?

Yeah, he's resting now.

Aren't you Ahreum's neighbor?

Yes.

How about an interview?

- Me?

- Yes.

Should I sit there?

- Please.

- Okay.

Thanks.

Sir, are you ready? Let's begin.

Action!

What kind of boy is Ahreum?

Lee Ahreum is...

- Han Ahreum.

- Right, Han Ahreum.

Action!

Han Yureum is...

Okay, cut.

Imagine the camera's not here,

just talk to Ms. Kim.

Let's go again.

Action!

That bastard Ahreum is...

No swearing sir...

Once more, one more time.

- Fix his hat.

- Okay.

Allow me.

- What's wrong with me?

- It's alright, sir.

I practiced a lot.

Action!

What kind of boy is Ahreum?

Ahreum is...

a friend.

My friend.

Taping is no joke.

Isn't it?

Thank you.

- Feeling better?

- Yeah.

- Hold this for a sec.

- Okay.

Mr. Jang, are you sick?

It'd be weird if we weren't.

You got that right.

But you look young for your age.

I know it!

I'm sorry!

Kids! Settle down!

- You heard him.

- Which room was it?

They don't know how marvelous youth is.

They're too healthy

to know that they're healthy.

There's another thing they don't know.

What is that?

They too will age in time.

Right on!

Afternoon.

What are you reading?

It's a novel.

An Indian boy's ship sunk

on his way to America,

so he's on a rescue boat

with a tiger...

Enough for now.

Give it back, I won't read it.

If he squints, don't let him read.

Computer, TV, books, anything.

You know how bad his eyes are.

Come on...

Then what am I supposed to do here?

Get better, of course.

Alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, all prohibited.

Don't smoke or drink...

Of course not yet...

Despite his looks, he's still a teenager,

and teens get curious...

Do it when you reach college,

you can do plenty then.

Go back to sleep, rest up.

Close your eyes and meditate.

He's one of a kind...

I hate to do this,

but can I ask you a favor.

Suh-ha, I'm slowly losing my sight.

Could you send me a picture of you?

I didn't want to regret later,

so I worked up the courage.

E-mail sent

Sorry for the late reply.

I thought over your favor a lot.

It's unfair that only I know

what you look like.

I even know what your parents look like.

I don't know if you'll like it,

but I'm sending you one.

Ahreum?

When do you feel alive?

When do you feel like you want to keep living?

When do I want to live?

When I see fleecy clouds in the blue sky...

When I hear kids' laughters, I want to live.

On a clear day, when I smell

sun-dried laundry with my mom...

When I see the gruff shopkeeper

cry like a girl

while watching soap opera...

When I hear a granny

calling out to her grand kids for dinner...

When mom splashes cold water

on dad's back in the summer...

When I see Venus moments

after sunset with my dad...

When I see blinking lights

of airplanes on their night flight,

I want to live.

Suh-ha, what about you?

It's been 10 days since her last e-mail.

Could something have happened?

Suh-ha, I haven't heard from you.

I'm worried about you.

When you see this, please reply.

Did you change the meds again?

He needs something with much higher dosage.

You changed it not long ago.

The thing is...

So when do I die?

- What?

- Ahreum!

I should know too, rough idea of it.

The treatment will make you better!

Do you know how hard it is to wait

for my day to come?

Just tell me.

Do you really want to know?

Yes.

A month,

or 2 months at best.

- So funny!

- Hey.

Yeah?

Let's go to a hot spring in spring.

Sure, I've never been.

- Promise.

- Promise!

- Sure?

- Yup.

- Got it?

- Yup.

It's already time to feed my father.

- I have to go.

- Okay.

- Mr. Jang?

- Yeah?

- I have a favor.

- What is it?

- Promise me not to get mad?

- Spit it out.

Could you bring me some alcohol?

What? Soju?

I want to taste it before it's too late.

You idiot! 'Before too late'?

You got a long future ahead of you!

But sir...

Let go!

What do you take me for!

Mira, can we talk for a moment?

Who the hell is he?!

He says he's a film director.

Probably a wannabe.

He says he's writing a screenplay

for his debut film.

Screenplay?

That's why he started this.

I can't believe it myself.

What is it about?

A love story between a boy with progeria

and a girl with an incurable disease.

- So?

- What?

So what did you do?!

Did you report him to the cops?!

The thing is,

even if we do,

there's no law that'll punish him.

He wasn't defrauding you anyway.

What?

I know how you feel.

But that's the law.

He can't be arrested over some lies.

Think of it as a bad luck and let it go.

So easy for you to say!

I'll talk to Ahreum about it.

I'll say she went to USA for treatment.

Mira, don't worry.

Just keep it between us.

Play after lunch.

I'll eat later.

It's past your pill time.

I'll be done soon.

It's already been 2 hours. Stop playing!

Just let me be!

Leave me alone!

What do you think you're doing!
