all the pills in my absence.

What?

- Nothing.

- You want something?

Dry your hair.

Oh, It's snowing...

It's snowing!

it is?

What a coincidence!

Is it pretty?

It's pretty.

Very pretty.

I'll look later.

She was really

going to die with me.

Hello.

Sangwon has had an accident.

We're in Namsan.

Hello? I can't hear you.

What did you say?

Sangwon has had an accident?

What kind of accident?

An accident.

He's lying here...

Come quickly.

Where is he?

Where are you?

in Namsan.

She had woken,

she had gone home.

She used my cell phone

to alert my family.

Sangwon!

Sangwon, wake up!

Wake up!

What happened?

Sangwon!

Sleep.

You need it. Are you in pain?

A little. It's okay.

Sir...

Or should I call you father?

What?

What are you talking about?

I'm going for a cigarette.

I'll come back.

Excuse me.

Have I been asleep long?

Two hours or so.

Don't talk.

I would have liked

to impress the nurse.

Since I was going to live,

I'd have liked to find

a girl like her.

Can we remove the IV?

Sorry? No.

Wait a little.

You're too impatient.

I was worried about

the reception I was going to get.

We'll take a cab.

I looked around for Youngsil.

I felt

as if I was starting a new life.

A gift that had been given to me.

Who did you want to die with?

A girl, huh?

You need a girl for that too?

It's not that.

- Give it to me.

- It's okay.

if you want. Be careful.

So you wanted to kill yourself!

Think you're capable of it?

What kind of stupid act Is this?

Drop dead! Why have you

come back? You're just a clown!

I apologize, mom.

But let me give you my reasons.

Your reasons?

You have reasons?

Explain!

I...

I've always found it hard

communicating with you.

You know that.

For nineteen years now,

I've felt you don't understand me.

What a pretty speech! Shut up!

I'm hard to communicate with?

I've always given you

what you wanted.

And now It's all my fault?

He's not entirely wrong.

You can be difficult.

What the hell do you know?

You blame your mother

and you call yourself a man?

I killed myself raising you

and you insult me, you little sh*t!

You say It's because of me

that you want to die?

So die! Why have you come back?

Mom!

Can't you let me speak?

I Understand.

I f***ing understand!

I'm going to kill myself for real.

I may as well kill myself!

Goddam maniac!

Be polite with mom.

Stay out of this.

Sit down.

Nobody cared.

Mom! Mom!

I got the letter this morning too.

Is it that serious?

He won't last much longer.

There's no hope.

His old classmates are meeting tonight

to do a collection.

It's to help hisfamily.

Besides, it's a long time

since we last saw you.

Come tonight.

Actually, I wanted to see his retrospective.
