The End of April Page #4

---

You came all the way here to tell me that?

Don't you remember?

- The dream you had.

- Oh that.

What about it?

Maybe dreams come true after all.

Joo-hee!

Stop fooling around. Where

did you go last night?

I was at your place, remember?

After that!

My mom texted me. I went home.

Don't lie to me!

I saw you going into the store.

Fine. I'll tell you the truth.

I did go there.

What's so weird about me

going to the grocery store?

Why did you go there?

To buy cigarette.

Why did you go there of all places?

Answer me.

What's the matter with you?

They don't check my id like

other stores do, that's why.

Where do you get the money for it?

For cigarettes.

Did you pay?

Tell me.

Do you pay for your cigarette or not?

Hyun-Jin.

I don't know what rumors you heard, but...

You are just like them.

I'm so sick of it.

How are you?

It's awful.

Sir.

What happened?

Didn't you see the news?

There was a murder.

The lady and her son both died.

The neighborhood's been quiet

for a while, but now this?

Who did that?

Nobody knows.

I'm sure they'll caught the guy soon.

Whoever it is, we've got

a real sick psycho.

Hm?

He smashed their skulls

with something really hard

and put the plastic bag over

their heads to suffocate them.

The thing is...

I saw something odd that night.

I was taking a walk on this

street after midnight,

and saw someone coming out of the store.

Who?

You know the girl who

lives on the 10th floor?

I always thought she was a little weird.

Did you talk to the police?

No.

I don't want to get involved

in a thing like this.

Are you coming in now?

How did you get in here?

The door was open.

You're forgetful, aren't you?

I was wondering...

have you seen Joo-hee?

She didn't come home last night.

No.

I haven't seen her.

That's strange.

Where did she go?

I thought she was with you.

Hey.

Did Joo-hee say anything to you?

About what?

She has a screw loose.

Don't believe whatever she tells you.

Understand?

She's already got an appetite for men.

I wonder what she'll become.

Sh*t.

That b*tch. After all I've done for her.

She's flirting with men her father's age.

What are you talking about?

Guess what she did.

We need to talk.

No we don't.

Joo-hee.

I'm sorry about what I said yesterday.

I was wrong.

But tell me.

What kind of relationship do

you have with your dentist?

I don't believe this sh*t.

Are you spying on me?

Why would you do such thing?

Don't you know it's wrong?

Who do you think you are?

You're not my mother. Why

do you keep bugging me?

I guess you really are like that.

That's right.

I'm like this.

And you're a piece of sh*t.

Is that really the only way?

What else can I do?

Should I quit school and work part

time job that pays $4 an hour?

Then what?

How am I going to live with my

deranged parents with that money?

Since we started running

away from creditors,

I've never received any

allowance whatsoever.

I have to pay for school.

I have to pay for textbooks, gym uniforms,

school trip, everything on my own.

Still!

Your mom's worried sick.

Hyun-Jin.

Do you...

really think my mom sends me to the

dentist to get my teeth treated?

I am so sorry.

Was I too loud?

Right,

it's bad manners.

I hear some people even commit

a murder because of the noise.

Are you looking at this?

This is all I have.

What are you doing?

I have to go to work in the morning.

That's why I'm doing this now.

I should have asked you first.

The truth is...

I killed the pigs.

The damn pigs won't get fat no

matter how much I feed them.

I like them fat.

That's why...

I killed them.

Joo-hee!

Hyun-Jin, what are you doing?

Did I wake you?

Where are you Joo-hee? Are you all right?

Joo-hee!

Are you there?

Hyun-Jin.

Do you hear this?

Yeah.

I hear you.

Try knocking on the wall.

It's so clear.

Joo-hee.

Are you all right?

Hyun-Jin,

can I come over?

Sure.

I'll be right here.

Today's my birthday.

But...

you were the only person I could think of.

Aren't you going to say happy birthday?

I need at least one person

to be happy that I was born.

Look! I brought beer.

Wait.

Let's do cake later.

Cheers.

Joo-hee.

You sure you're all right?

If you want to talk...

Shh.

It's enough that you're here.

I mean it.

Joo-hee!

No...

Joo-hee.

Please...

Joo-hee!

Hi, guys.

Do you guys live here?

Take a seat.

Look how much you grew up.

When did you get back?

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

I was just passing by.

So...

what you've been up to?

I work at the community service center.

You're a civil servant?

Are you married?

- Yes.

- That's good.

I knew you'd make it.

Joo-hee.

I came by today because I

was worried about you.

Why would you?

Why would you worry about me?

Are you my mom?

Are you my sister?

What do you want from me?

If you care about me so much, then

where have you been all these years?

Where were you?

- Joo-hee!

- Stop talking about Joo-hee!

Joo-hee.

Calm down and let's talk.

Tell me...

what happened?

Stop it, please.

Why do you keep calling Joo-hee?

She's dead!

Dead?

You know Joo-hee.

The girl next door.

She's dead.

You're not dead.

You're right here, talking to me.

Stop lying.

I saw it.

I saw her jumping off the roof.

Joo-hee.

That's not true.

Listen to me.

She's not dead?

That doesn't make any sense.

F***ing b*tch.

Hyun-Jin, the washer is here.

Hyun-Jin.

Hyun... Jin...
