The End of April Page #3

---

A bunch of people quit,

believing that bull sh*t.

Some of them committed suicide.

Your mom said you guys are moving to Seoul

soon because of your dad's promotion.

Another bull crap.

He hasn't worked a day since then.

But the strangest thing is...

he gets up early in the

morning, puts on his suit,

and comes back late at night.

He's like a ghost.

Do you get it now?

We left Seoul to run away from creditors.

My mom started seeing things.

She keeps telling people she'd pay.

As if she were sitting on a heap of money.

Hyun-Jin.

Tell her you changed your mind.

Don't blame me later.

Joo-hee.

It's fine with me as long

as you're okay with it.

Come over anytime you want to study.

Don't go back on your words later.

I won't.

Hyun-Jin!

I'm so sorry.

It's all right. Don't sweat it.

I have no napkins.

What's this?

There's milk in coffee.

I thought you were worried about calories.

It's your own fault for stalking me.

Hyun-Jin, wait up.

You should go home and wash it.

Otherwise, it'll leave stain.

Right.

Isn't it tiring to handwash?

I got used to it.

I am going to...

buy you a washer one day.

Why would you?

Because I want to.

You were shocked when you first

came in here, weren't you?

What do you mean?

Because it's so dirty and seedy.

What do you take me for?

Nobody's first apartment is nice.

Still, I like this place.

I always wanted to live on my own.

How come?

Because of that woman.

Who?

My mom.

I hated her.

Do you know what I hated her?

She's too nice.

She was too nice that she was dumb.

You don't get it, do you?

What's wrong with being nice?

When I was a little girl,

I went to a fortunetellers

shop with mom.

The fortuneteller was startled.

She said my mom and I have

exactly the same fate.

She said we'd destroy each

other if we stayed together.

Daughters are supposed to

take after their moms.

I shudder at that thought.

I made trouble on purpose

to break off from her.

Hyun-Jin.

I'm so sorry.

- I guess I'm drunk.

- Don't worry about it.

Come here.

Why are you shaking so much?

I'm sorry.

No, not there.

A little below.

Do you like me?

I like you.

You have to treat me well.

Yes.

You must love and adore me only.

Can you do that?

Yes.

I will do that.

That's why I'm with you right now.

If you do that, I'll be really good to you.

I'll do whatever you ask me to.

Wait.

Wait, Kyung-soo.

Get the f*** off, a**hole!

Why are you butting in?

Cut it out.

F*** you.

Hey.

F***ing b*tch.

Build a castle with steel everyday,

build a wall inside the castle,

build a house inside the wall,

put a rice bin inside the house,

put a chest inside the rice bin,

hide me inside the chest,

and lock it securely with gold turtle lock.

What kind of poem is this?

I mean, if he misses his ex,

why doesn't he go find her? Loser.

What's that?

Dope.

You want to try?

Say 'ah.'

It's just sugar cube.

It works great when you feel sluggish.

How's it? Do you feel it?

Yeah, it goes straight to my brain.

Told you so.

Hyun-Jin,

is it easy to pass the civil services exam?

Nothing's easy in this world.

What's great about being a civil servant?

Do they pay you a lot?

No, not really.

It's stable and gives you a good pension.

Then, at least you won't

end up like my dad.

Should I go for civil services too?

You can think about it

after you go to college.

Go study now.

Fine.

Hello.

Hi, Hyun-Jin. It's me.

Hey.

Is everything okay?

You don't sound so good.

Yes, I was dozing off.

Hyun-Jin, can you come

downstairs for a sec?

What's going on?

You'll see.

Hyun-Jin!

How are you?

What is this?

I thought we could go for a drive.

It's such a nice weather.

Let's go.

Actually...

I have something to tell you.

It was my first time.

What is?

You know... sex.

Are you serious?

Yes.

How is that possible?

You've never slept with your girlfriends?

I've never dated anyone.

Oh my.

But I thought guys go to red district

before enlisting in the army.

You've never been to places like that?

You're embarrassing me.

You might not know,

but some guys don't get a chance

to do it until they are over 30.

Unbelievable.

My friend said...

You're my savior.

That's why I took you out today.

To thank you.

What?

- Kyung-soo.

- Yeah?

What's your dream?

Dream?

Hm.

I can't think of one. It's too sudden.

You don't have any?

If you can't answer it right away,

it means you don't have one.

What kind of a guy doesn't have a dream?

Kyung-soo,

do you know what my dream is?

I had no dream, nothing

to look for, all my life.

But since I met you,

I started to want something.

What's that?

It's...

you know.

I'm not telling you.

Come back here.

Hyun-Jin.

It's all right.

I want to do it for you.

The house under your name is

valued above the threshold.

You're not qualified to be

a basic income recipient.

Excuse me?

Please don't get upset, sir.

Sir. Hello?

Ms. Park. Come here for a sec.

What's going on?

We got a call from the

city services auditor.

What?

Does a name Kang Hyung-goo ring a bell?

His mother is calling everywhere,

complaining about you.

She said you threatened him.

That's not true.

He was acting suspicious in

front of someone's apartment.

I gave him a little warning, that's it.

Maybe you didn't know about it.

He does that all the time.

He has a disability.

He doesn't know what's right and wrong.

Just go apologize.

The lady's intense.

I don't think I can do that.

Where do you think you're going?

Piss off.

You need to pay back my cigarette.

Get your hands off of me.

It's not my fault that you got caught.

I got caught because YOU

were smoking my cigarette.

Go home and jerk yourself, douchebag

That mouth of hers.

B*tch!

Hey.

That was too much.

Just payback my cigarette.

The f*** you're looking at?

Get me my cigarette now.

Fine.

I'll give to you tomorrow.

It takes a beating, doesn't it?

Is it true that your nickname is THIS PLUS?

(Korean cigarette brand)

- THIS PLUS?

- What's that?

You know the retard at the grocery store,

that's her boyfriend.

No way.

She fucks for the cigarette.

Come on. I don't believe that.

- It's not even Marlboro?

- Go ask him.

Marlboro? That was funny.

I'll take sex instead of

cigarette, if you'd like.

Come on, man.

F*** off!

F***ing slut.

I wouldn't f*** you even if you offered.

Let's go.

Garbage bags, please.

Take your change.

Joo-hee.

I was wondering

where do you get the money

for cigs and makeups?

You want to know?

I have a part time job.

Where do you work?

You don't need to know.

I realized that a slight shift in

perspective makes life much easier.

What kind of talk is that?

You should aspire for bigger things.

You're in your prime.

Right. Everyone says that.

That I'm in my prime to f***.

What?

What did you just say?

Here they go again.

- Who's that?

- My mom.

She does that when she's drunk.

Hyun-Jin.

- What are you doing here?

- Come here.

The folks at the grocery store died.
