for the military service.

Kinmen?

Yes.

For the military service?

Yeah.

Damn! Why am I so unlucky?

Why? What's wrong with Kinmen?

It's far far away!

So I won't be able to see you much.

But it's Okay.

Everything in the dream

is the opposite.

What?

Don't you know that?

Everything that happens in the dream

is the opposite to

how things are in reality.

So I won't go to Kinmen

for military service.

Yes!

Really?

Tsai Hsien-tsung!

Here!

[2094th MILITARY LOTTERY]

[ASSIGNMENTS, 2010]

[Republic of China Army]

I, Tsai Hsien-Tsung,

am here to draw an assignment.

Read out the name of your new unit.

Kinmen Defense Command.

Kinmen Defense Command.

Hey, wait a second.

It's late!

Why are you still on the phone?

Hang up now.

Just one more minute, please.

You'll be in trouble if you're caught.

So what?

Just one more minute.

Hello, it's okay. Nothing.

Yeah, right.

Right.

Yeah.

Fine, fine.

You know who died a year ago today?

Who?

Who?

Michael Jackson!

It's his first death anniversary.

You like him?

Not really.

But my girlfriend really adores him.

She's watching a MJ special right now.

And she's crying...

What?

What's eating you?

Go back to sleep.

No. It's so hot!

Even though you

still have to go to bed.

Otherwise if you're

caught fooling around here,

both of us will be in trouble.

Both of us?

Yes.

Wuss!

I heard that the ferry

would be delayed.

Who said so?

My girlfriend.

She says there is a typhoon coming.

It doesn't look like it.

Yes, it does!

My girlfriend

watched the news on TV.

Okay, just go to bed.

Oh, okay. See you later.

See you.

Then why are you here?

What on earth does he want?

Don't be afraid.

I've got something to tell you.

We're not in the real world.

What?

We're in a dream.

In a dream?

Yes.

We're dreaming.

What?

How did you know that?

You told me so.

I told you?

I don't even know you!

What's up?

I dreamt of you going to Kinmen.

Really?

You'll be in the military uniform.

On a ferry to Kinmen.

Yeah?

I'll be there as well.

Yeah.

I don't know you in the beginning.

Oh, really? Then?

We won't get to know each other

until you arrive there.

Then... will you come to me?

Yes, I will.

Really?

I'll come to you

even if you're on the rocket to Mars!

Silly, why are you crying?

I'm not crying!

I promise I'll come to you.

Yes.

Don't let it eat you up, okay?

Promise me, you'll come to me.

Yes. I promise.

What year is it now?

But I'm in 2010.

How could it be possible?

When you wake up,

you'll get to know me.

Then one day

you'll tell me

that I will have the same dream.

Right here.

Right now.

On a ferry.

On a ferry to Kinmen.

Are you joking?
