Pacemaker Page #4

---

What the...?

That's enough, Man-ho.

Yun-gi!

Are you alright?

- Let me see.

- Don't touch me.

Let me see your leg.

Here? Or here?

Don't you know why you are here?

I don't.

You're a pacemaker.

Without Yun-gi, there is no pacemaker

and there is no you!

I am me.

I'm not here for anyone else.

Nor because of anyone.

Bro, don't leave.

Please. I beg you.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm walking out.

- Then what?

- I'm a marathon runner.

I'm gonna run marathon.

And what you're doing here

isn't a marathon?

Everyone has their place

in the world.

Is that why you didn't tell me?

That this may be my last race.

If I complete it, I may never

be able to run again?

You are coming to an end

of your career as a runner.

You gotta think about

the life beyond.

I know what running means to you.

- That's why...

- You know...

All my life, I've run

for somebody else.

But the last race of my life,

I'm gonna have to run for me.

Over here.

This way.

Hello! Your order from

Success Fried Chicken.

Enjoy!

What?

Hey!

I thought you serve the country.

Sometimes, the country's gotta

serve its people, too.

What?

Are you serious?

You haven't run on a normal pace

in over 10 years.

You remember? I used to be

really good back in high school.

Of course.

You were way better

than that Yun-gi face.

Unless we determine the cause

of the strain on right tibia,

this injury will keep recurring.

Don 't worry about me.

I can go to college later.

I want you to only think about running.

That's what I want for you.

I want to see you in the Olympics.

I can run. Let me run.

I can take the pain.

I gotta continue running.

You know how much

I want this.

I'll be a pacemaker.

I' ll work as a pacemaker.

That way I get to run 30km.

Ever since I became a pacemaker,

I lost 12.195km forever.

Do you regret?

No. I did it for my brother.

I have no regrets.

But for once, I want to do

something that I love.

30km being the starting point

not the end.

Jong-su!

If I don't do this,

then I'll really regret it.

Damn you.

I always felt sorry

running behind you.

You get to run behind me

this time.

Have you lost your mind?!

Business is hitting rock bottom

and you want to run a marathon?

You promised, never again!

- This really is the last time.

- Last time, my ass!

I owe it to Man-ho.

I gotta help him.

It's not his fault.

I asked him to.

I'll work really hard.

Marathon? Great!

You love marathon, don't you?

I have a better chance at

going back to shot put.

Urgh!

We'll hand out more flyers.

If he doesn't go, I'll go.

- Hyang-yi!

- Honey, no!

Beautiful! Loving it!

Yun-gi, you're great.

Like a professional.

That's good. Smile.

It's a beauty!

Show me a smile.

Loving it.

Love your faces.

Now, with more energy!

Yes! Yes! Ji-won, let me see

your pearly whites.

We have a month and 12 days

to Gyeonggi Marathon.

You gotta get rid of all the senses

you became accustomed to.

Because you're running your own race.

Not as a pacemaker.

Let me ask you for the last time.

This race could end your career.

You still want to do it?

Yes.

Okay.

Let's pour all we got on this.

Go, Success Chicken track team!

You got a delivery.

Man-ho, too fast!

Too slow. Pick up your pace.

Come on.

Pull me up.

Gyeong-sun, to the front.

You gotta fill in for Man-ho.

If you go rogue

like the last time,

you'll never run

for the country again.

Spit out! Sh*t!

I got the license plate number.

First splits are pathetic.

You must cut 30km in 1:27:00,

if you want a chance at gold.

But both Gyeong-sun and

Wu-jin's best time is 1:30:00.

At this rate, Yun-gi may

not get any medal.

It's the result that counts.

I'll run by myself...

Shut up and

listen to me carefully.

If you screw up this race,

your popularity will disappear

like thin air.

I'm f***ed because

the damn rabbit ran off.

This is so frustrating.

Rabbit?

The old man that

walked out on me.

- Yun-gi.

- Yeah.

I want to break

the 4m 40cm wall.

Break it then.

I really really want it.

So what?

- Hey!

- Hmm?

From what you love and

what you're good at,

what would you choose?

I'm good at what I love doing.

Honey, Man-ho's here.

She came to see you.

Man-Who?

Hey, oldster!

What business does Beauty Bird

have with Man-ho?

Beats me...

- Honey?

- Yeah?

Hand me a marker.

How did you know I was here?

I'm good at digging up

other's personal life.

What?

I asked around people

at the camp.

Can I have your autograph?

- What's your name?

- It's...

Success Chicken will do.

I am utterly inspired

by your flight.

Thank you.

The honor is mine.

Thank you so much.

Awesome!

What brings you here?

I came to get what I'm owed.

I ran out of smokes.

You owe me a packet.

What?

You have no lighter?

I'm trying to quit.

This is a souvenir.

You're confusing me.

You enjoy doing

what you love?

Yeah, it's fun.

Are you happy?

Yes, I'm happy.

Man-ho. I take back

what I said the other day.

I want to do what I love, too.

What I really really want.

And that is...

Breaking your current record?

How did you know?

It's written all over your face

when you train.

I'll come and watch you run.

It's next week, right?

Thanks.

It'll be great

if Seong-ho comes, too.

I have a really successful brother.

When he was little,

he used to be so proud of me.

It made me feel proud

running in front of him.

Since I became a pacemaker,

he stopped coming to see me run.

He'll be there this time.

Probably not. He's really busy.

I hardly see him anymore.

Then, call him. Tell him

you want him to watch you run.

He'll be there.

You're right.

He will.

If you complete the race,

I'll call you oppa as a reward.

Forget it. I'm much too old

for you to call me that.

You don't want it? Fine.

Just do as you please.

If you want to call me that,

I can't stop you.

I mean, later... If I finish.

Bus is here.

Best of luck!

Hey! Yu Ji-won!

Hey!

Where have you been all day?

I'm not reporting to you.

You're not my coach.

You got a man?

Stop wondering about me.

I lost interest in you.

Hey, it's me...

It's not a good time, is it?

It's just... you know the marathon

I told you about earlier.

Can you come?

Oh... Only if you have the time.

Because I'll be running

for real this time.

30km...

Between you and Hwan Yeong-jo,

who wins?

F*** off.

It's been such a long time.

I remember you chasing me around

asking questions about running.

Love marathon, don't you?

Me, too.

This is a huge honor to be

on the track with you, Ms Ji-won.

Can we take a picture together?

My cellphone's in the pocket.

Oh...

Sure. Why not?

One two three!

There.

Thank you so much!

Come anytime you feel like chicken.

This is a huge honor.

I'm the happiest man alive.

I can't put a price on this feeling but

the chicken is on the house

whenever...

You need to put up the speed.

Of course.

Go, Man-ho!

Run!

He's on a good pace.

We can hope for good results.
