29 February

Before I met her,

I thought of the Moebius strip.

It's an interesting strip.

It has two sides, yet

it ends in a single strip.

This story I'm about to hear

Is it true?

Or is it a lie?

It's the story of a curse that recurs

every 4 years on February 29th.

February 29

Hello.

How do I get to

Moonkyung Mental Hospital?

Hold on, sir.

Here's your change.

Moonkyung Mental Hospital?

Go straight.

Take a left under the bridge.

You'll see it to your right

about 10 minutes in.

Have a nice day.

Did I scare you?

Haven't you ever been

in a mental institution before?

You scared me!

Journalists can have heart attacks too,

you know.

I haven't seen you in so long

I had to make it special.

We haven't been

in contact for a while.

What brings me here?

I wanted to help you out

by giving you a story.

Why? You don't want it?

I run a science column.

I only report on facts.

Have you ever met a stalker?

I've seen and met things

you wouldn't believe.

What about ghosts?

Ever seen one?

No, but I'm sure

they're easy to make up.

They clone dogs nowadays.

It's a scary world.

What if I told you a body

came back from the dead?

What are you trying to say?

Would you believe me?

If the person is still alive,

then he probably didn't die.

You're talking like

a true science columnist.

Did you know that John Lennon

was murdered by a stalker?

Will you just get to the point?

You'll see.

Jiyeon?

How do you feel today?

It's beautiful day,

why don't you go outside?

Isn't it too bright in here?

I can't even open my eyes.

She doesn't like to be in the dark.

In fact, she thinks this is too dark.

How does she get her sleep?

She's an insomniac.

She hasn't slept in months.

I brought you a journalist,

you can talk to.

He believes your story.

Will you talk to him?

Nice to meet you.

I left in a hurry,

so I forgot to bring my note.

If there's anything

I can help, I'll do it.

Will you tell me your story?

This is an unauthorized visit,

so we don't have much time.

My superiors

can't find out about this.

It's getting dark.

Pardon?

She comes to see me when it's dark.

Who comes to see you?

The murderer who died 12 years ago.

No one believes me,

But that woman is still alive.

She even appears in my nightmares.

She's coming to kill me.

Why would she kill you?

I saw her face.

Her cursed face!

What's the date today?

February 29th.

Please, Get me out of here.

If I stay here,

she'll come to kill me!

Please! Let me out!

It's too cold for this.

This is too dark.

Make up your mind!

This is pretty.

Hey! How's it going?

Are you ready to leave the country?

Hey there!

Are you in Pusan right now?

What are you talking about?

I'm on my way to work.

Don't lie to me

I just saw you pass by!

You need to buy me a drink

before I leave the country.

But I'm not in Pusan.

I'm going to work.

Aren't you wearing jeans

and a lime green sweater?

Do you have a secret boyfriend

or something?

It must be just a coincidence.

It's probably someone

who looks like me.

Really?

I could swear it was you.

Why would I lie to you?

Call me before you leave,

I'll go to the airport.

Okay, see you later!

Look at you!

You're so fresh and pretty.

I wish I were fresh,

I'm stuck at work all the time.

Why don't we go on a trip?

I heard we don't have to pay

the full amount at once.

Really?

We could go for some fresh air,

and we can lose

some of these extra pounds!

That's the hope

I've been singing this tune for months.

Would you say

I've got a common face?

Did someone tell you

that you look like a clown?

You'd never understand.

Not with a face like yours.

We're about the same.

What should we do

to kill time today?

Just don't be late for your shift.

Yes, ma'am.

Good evening.

Thank you.

Over here sir.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Thank you.

Is that Jongsook?

What is she doing here?

Jongsook?

It's not time yet!

Go back to the lounge.

Why can't she hear me?

Are we having a power out?

This can't be...

What does the rulebook say

about a situation like this?

This is awful.

I'm terribly sorry.

We're having a blackout.

The machines are not working.

Let me get you your change.

It's already time for shifts!

Time for me to get to work.

I want to stay

in that warm lounge longer.

You scared me.

- Jongsook?

- Yeah?

Did you see that car?

What car?

I didn't see anything.

I guess you couldn't see it

because of the blackout.

Just before, some woman...

What blackout?

Didn't you see the lights go off?

No.

Everything was fine at the lounge.

Hurry up.

Before I don't rotate with you.

Why did the power go out, Mr. Kim?

The power didn't go out.

I was watching soccer on TV.

What's the date tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

It's March 1st.

I knew it.

This is why I feel bad for

people born on February 29th.

Why?

February 29th only comes

every four years,

and sadly, it's my birthday.

That's pretty sad.

Do you want a birthday gift?

It has to be very special.

I only get one birthday in 4 years!

In fact, why don't we take

a day off tomorrow?

I don't know.
