I heard she runs a bar in Puchon

What?

A friend said he saw her

in Puchon

It's probably true

Why would he lie?

- You said you didn't know

- You wanted to know

She was working in that kind of place

when she was a student

She dropped out of university

Really? Why?

I don't know

I don't think

she's a waitress anymore

She runs a bar in a hotel

How did she come to that?

I wonder

I can't believe it...

- It all started from then

- What?

These so-called "club rooms"

Half the girls are students

More than two thirds even!

I see

A real job is tough

and doesn't pay well

The myth of virginity means

girls have a high price on them

Koreans are too fond of sex

They have nothing better to do

- There's no real culture

- Right

Excuse me

I have to fetch my photos

- They're already done?

- It's an express service

Can I have a quick word with you?

Yes

I teach Western art

I was wondering...

would you like to model for me?

Model for you?

Yes, I teach at the university

You can trust me

I'm looking for

non-professional models

I see...

However, I must warn you

you'd have to pose nude

Could you do that?

No, I couldn't

Because of the nudity?

I understand

Let me give you my number

Think about it

You'd make an excellent model

No, really

I couldn't do it

I'll leave you now

Come here

Is something wrong?

What's he saying?

That he's a teacher

- He wants me to model

- A teacher needs a model?

- He's a painter

- Is he really?

Apparently

- That's all he said?

- I'm not going to model for him

They don't look

like close friends

But they're knocking the drink back

That's why

they talk such rubbish

You think so?

- Hello

- Hello

Go on in

Are you going out?

We won't be long

Good-bye

- Where shall I put this?

- Over there

What is that?

An imaginary being

What beautiful flowers!

In autumn

when I see chrysanthemums

I feel that they have bloomed

just for me

I see

They're really beautiful

aren't they?

By the way...

May I call you by your first name?

I'm sorry?

If you want

All right

Stop it! Not so fast!

Get off me!

What did I just say?

I told you to stop!

I didn't understand

Was it unpleasant?

Couldn't you have just held me?

Men are all alike

If you'd simply held me

I could have let myself go

I'm sorry

It's my fault

You're all animals

You and that bastard

just want sex

Real animals!

- Hello

- Hello

You're here?

Do you know the bride?

The groom is an old friend

- Are you close?

- Yeah

This morning, I was in a cafe

and I called Sunhwa

She said she'd be at the wedding

I was coming anyway

so it was a chance to see her

- That's a good idea

- Shall we fetch her?

Will you do that for me?

Thank you

She's over there

Sunhwa!

Congratulations

You look so pretty

They're intrigued

The groom is a friend...

- It's a pretty wedding

- The bride's pretty too

I find you much prettier

Don't exaggerate

- Seen the chrysanthemums?

- I see

They attract the bees

Are you staying?

Are you going to the reception?

- Aren't you?

- No

I have to go to see my tutor

Really?

- Do you go there often?

- No

I'm sorry you can't come

Could I see you tomorrow?

- What day is it tomorrow?

- What day?

- It's Sunday

- That's right

All right, let's meet tomorrow

- Really?

- Really!

Thank you

You're not using my first name?

I don't really feel like it

- Did it go well yesterday?

- Yes, sit down

Your face is puffy

- It is?

- Yes, very puffy

Do you feel all right?

Yes...

What's that new hairstyle?

Is it horrible?

No

Isn't anyone else home?

My father's in Japan

My mother will be home late

Your father's in Japan?

He goes there

about ten times a year

And your mother?

When he's away

she comes home late

There's no one else here?

My little brother

will be home late too

You needn't worry about him

It's better

when there's no one else

Well, there isn't

What's that?

That? It's just for fun

What's inside it?

What is it?

- Are they stones?

- Pebbles

Are they for your work?

No, It's to toughen my fist

- Toughen your fist?

- My fist

I punch it

every morning and evening

You do that?

To make me stronger

Every morning and evening?

Yes, Like this

Your skin is so soft

Can I moan?

Go ahead

You can

Your moaning sounds so sweet

Is that good?

Very good

Sorry

I came too soon

Are you always like that?

What?

Your legs are hairy

I haven't shaved them for a while

Shaving makes the hair thicker

I didn't know

that women shaved their legs

True, it has grown

I hear there's even more snow

in Kangwon province

It snows often

Shall we go and see Sunhwa?

- Now?

- Yep

Ask your friend for the address

- You want to go to Puchon?

- Since it's snowing...

Let's go and see Sunhwa!

- You go I'm not going

- Why not?

I enjoyed drinking with you

but we're pretty drunk now

So what?

Your face isn't even flushed

I have some papers to mark

Sorry

Go by yourself

Why not?

How can you treat

an old friend like this?

You go!

My wife doesn't feel well

- I didn't tell you before

- She doesn't feel well?

She's a bit ill

I don't know...

I'll tell you the hotel's name

Is she really ill?

All this is just an excuse

Shall I call her to check?

Bastard!

What are you talking about?

I'm sorry but...

you're fishing for an excuse!

If I were you, I'd come

We've just met up again

You can't do this to me

It's snowing, we're drunk

where can we go like this?

Bastard

- Do you want a sweet?

- Yes, thank you

- Munho

- Huh?

What is it that you want

more than anything?

Me?

There is one thing I want...

It's an old dream

Perhaps it won't come true

But I like having this dream

I'll succeed, even if it's tough

Hunjoon!

I think our university

is the best in all of Korea

I want to get tenure there

That's my dream

It will soon come true, right?

I have no idea

No one can really say

until it actually happens

I can imagine

But it will come true

You'll make a good teacher

Thank you

Sure

It's on the ground floor, isn't it?

Yes

It must be just inside

It's stupid arriving together

I'll go, Wait here for me

- Let's see if she's there

- That's why I'm going in

It's stupid going in together

Wait, I'll come back

You aren't too cold?

Let me see!

Are they from the bar?

Do you want to look inside?

Is it anything special?

It's just a bar

without windows

Forget it, then

Sunhwa told me to wait for her

- She hasn't finished yet

- Only natural for a bar

Where did she say to wait?

Apparently, she lives nearby

I think I should wait for her

Will you be all right?

I think I should wait for her

What can I do? She insisted

Let's wait, then

How long will she be?

She could be a while

Will you be okay?

Let's wait for her

You want to?

Okay...

Give me the matches

Good-bye

Have you seen the time?

What's the matter?

What?

You must be tired

You can go

It's late

What the hell

do you mean?

Eat some chicken

Come on, drink up!

I used to drink

liquor with chicken every day
