Fall 2015

Can I please borrow your phone?

Let me use your phone please.

Let me use the phone. Please!

What's your problem, man?

Leave me alone.

(Shilla Hospital Morgue)

This young girl slept with at least 20

men in the last two months for money.

Is that right?

Anyways, the cause of death is brain

haemorrhage from the fatal fall.

Detective Kim?

Are you going to tell him?

Should I not?

I have a daughter too.

It'd be like killing him twice.

Jaya...

She got in!

Sir!

You got in!

Jaya!

Thank you.

Wow, that's really good.

What's your name?

Daddy!

Let's take her to the center.

We got a report.

I'm sorry but you can't raise a

daughter in your circumstance.

- Stop it!

- Come on.

Daddy's a little ill, but he drives well.

He tucks me in bed and sings me a song.

He gives me a bath everyday.

I'm going to live with Daddy.

I don't want to go.

Let me live with my daddy.

- Please let us be.

- Please stop it.

Let us live together.

You should think of your daughter.

Take it.

- Come on.

- Please.

Come back whenever you want to.

Good luck.

- Thank you.

- All right.

- Please take care.

- Yes.

Go on then.

Jaya!

Take good care of your dad.

I will.

Goodbye.

Buy the school uniform and shoes with this.

The uniform alone is 250 dollars.

How can I buy shoes too?

You can't buy shoes with 50 dollars?

Am I to wear Converse in high school too?

What about my backpack?

I want a new backpack

before the school starts.

I don't want to wear the

one I wore in junior high.

Come on in.

There's only one room?

I'm sorry.

Why did we bother to move to Seoul?

Whatever. Move your closet out of the room.

Out of the room!

Dad!

What the...

Hey!

Mister! Oh my gosh, what on earth?

I pay tax to have my shop here.

Are you trying to ruin my business?

Did you get a permit from the office?

Did you?

What is this? Are you stupid?

Hey.

I'm the business association director.

- Good. You're here.

- What are you doing?

Goddamn retard.

Hey, what do you think you are doing here?

Let me sell my stuff here.

I'm telling you you can't!

Hey!

I told you you can't!

Come here, you b*tch!

Get off of me!

- Why did you push him?

- Let go of me.

Let go.

Let go of me, you b*tch!

Let go!

They need to put that punk behind bars.

Watch what you say.

You think you can do anything

because he has a disability?

- Hey!

- You little!

Hold on.

- Do something, officer!

- Can you guys be quiet?

Both of you guys are at fault. You really

want to take this case to the court?

Let's do it by the law.

Sir, you don't want to

mess with people like him.

It'll be a big headache if

they start a protest or something.

Hey, how can you say that?

Why do you talk down on

people with disabilities?

Hey!

Your dad caused all this.

Am I wrong?

You heard him.

If you want to do business,

pay tax and do it properly.

I am sorry.

Sh*t, I hate that sound.

Dad, stop it.

Jaya.

Thank you.

For what?

You're such a baby.

You need to be careful.

This is why your knees

always have blisters.

My knees always have blisters.

Jaya.

That moon...

The moon is following us.

Daddy.

The moon keeps following me.

Does it?

Sir!

You can't do business here.

- Sir, I'm sorry but...

- Please remove this.

Sir, you can't keep doing this.

Hey, take it away.

Sir, you can't.

Did you eat?

I was waiting for you.

Was it slow today?

It's been like that lately.

Do we have money for the phone

bill, PE uniform, and backpack?

You said you'd buy it before school starts.

Don't we have the money your uncle gave us?

I told you. We bought the

uniform and shoes with that.

You want me to look like a country bumpkin?

Why are you sending me to art

school if we can't afford it?

Let's just live where we belong.

I'm not stupid.

Rainy day fund.

This is not enough to buy.

I need at least 100 dollars more.

You're making me feel bad

about going to school.

There's Yoo-Jung from the senior class.

He's so my type. He's so good looking.

He's the nephew of the board director.

He's so perfect.

He's so cool.

Good morning.

Good morning.

One, two, three.

How much was it?

Hey.

Hey!

You didn't go to art school

before you came here, huh?

Hey, can't you hear me?

You deaf?

Bora.

Everyone here graduated

from the same art school.

So we all have partners that we sit with.

You'll be taking this seat all by yourself.

I sat here because everyone

seemed to have their seats.

Where should I go then?

Min-kyung.

Koo Min-kyung.

You see that girl with glasses?

She's super nice.

This is empty, right?

Enjoy.

Enjoy.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

You need something?

Can I do business here?

What do you need?

Can I do my business here?

What do you sell?

I sell women's underwear

and hosieries.

I won't be bored here with him at least.

Do it.

Go for it.

Thank you.

Hooray.

He must have a screw loose.

Those major in singing, I know you

won't introduce yourself in words.

As I announced earlier,

we'll test your vocal.

Yoo-Jung.

Hey, I'm Kim Yoo-Jung.

You can join the school choir if you

pass the test today. Good luck.

Thank you.

Buy one get one free.

Next.

Next.

Nice control of breathing.

You've got powerful voice.

Thank you.

Who was your teacher?

I learned from the

minister at my old church.

Church choir?

Thank you.

- Enjoy.

- Thank you.

I saw you eating by yourself.

Sit.

Nobody likes to eat alone.

- Enjoy.

- You too.

Did you know you got

into trouble yesterday?

Hye-seon, the class president, she

never lost anything to anyone.

Lost to me on what?

I couldn't go higher anyways.

We all major in singing.

We know you could go higher.

Why did you do that?

I hate potato dishes.

Really?

I can't eat beef. I have too much heat.

Excellent. We can trade.

Sounds good.

Yoo-Jung.

When are you leaving to the States?

Mr. Berklee.

Have you already forgotten about us?

Hey.

I think you've become too distant

since you got into Berklee.

How many people are you gonna

let in to school choir?

I don't know.

She was pretty good. Are

you gonna let her in?

Jaya?

She has natural talent.

Wow.

You already memorized her name?

What's going on?

Just go.

Did you see that?

What are you scared of? Be confident.

It's all right.

Thank you.

It must be so hot.

It's on the other side.

Jaya!

Who's that?

My dad.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

You've secured a good corner this time.

Hey buddy.

Who's that?

My daughter.

Oh, you said she studies vocal, right?

Let me listen to your singing.

Here, it's for you.

Thank you.

It's my daughter.

I have something for you too.

This is chicken skewer.

Thank you so much.

(Min-kyung Jaya)

(Dohwa Art High School Choir)

One more time.

- Here.

- Fine.

By the way, did you hear that Yoo-Jung

got into Berklee? Top of the class?

He's like the definition of perfect.

Talented, rich, and handsome.

I know he's from a good family.

But I heard he has a different

mother from his siblings.

So what?

He has the board director on his side.
