All language subtitles for I.WeirDO.2020.CHINESE.1080p.WEBRip.x265-VXT

Anyone can visit a supermarket
anytime they want,

but not me.

I can only do it
on the 15th of every month.

But for one person,

I have broken my SOP.

By the way,

I'm not a disinfection personnel.

I'm just an OCD patient.

The term OCD

is short for
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

It is a mental health disorder.

Based on the following patterns,

please mark down on the answer sheet

the level of discomfort you feel

on a scale from one to ten.

One being the slightest

and ten being the most severe.

Please answer as honestly as possible

in order for the doctor
to provide a proper diagnosis.

I have no idea what's wrong with me,

but I'm extremely uncomfortable
seeing those patterns.

I forgot when it started.

The people around me began to call me...

I WeirDo

I wake up every morning

at 7:30 a.m.

Dismiss

My dentist told me

I need to brush every tooth
seven times for it to be clean.

Right.

Why does it have to be seven?

Because seven is my lucky number.

I don't know what that has to do with me,

but coming from a medical professional,

it sounds more professional.

Every Sunday,

I prepare my meals for the coming week.

I try to avoid dining out
unless absolutely necessary.

Even if I need to,
I only visit certain restaurants.

After breakfast,

I get changed,

then start on my most important task.

Sanitization.

That's right. I have mysophobia.

But actually, in the beginning,

I only enjoyed washing my hands.

Gradually,

I needed to wash my hands
whenever I arrived somewhere.

Moreover,

I began requiring myself
to scrub 15 times.

If I scrub once too many,

I would need to start all over again.

To keep my hands clean from germs,

I began sanitizing my house,

making sure everything
was clean at all times.

Although it slightly reduces
the frequency of my handwashing,

my cleanliness standards
became even higher.

Mr. Chen,

you likely have
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

The English abbreviation is OCD.

Usually, the patient will keep
repeating a certain activity.

If not done to the patient's satisfaction,

he or she will feel
upset and uncomfortable.

Many people will wash
their hands repeatedly like you.

Quite a lot of them
have serious mysophobia as well.

Then what should I do?

I'll prescribe some medication for you.

If this severely affects your daily life,

I would suggest you try some counseling.

Based on our experience,

some patients break out of OCD

after experiencing certain events.

Simply put,

the OCD switch is in you.

You have turned it on
and now you need to turn it off.

Obviously, I haven't found the switch yet.

11:29 p.m.

Eight hours later,
it will be another new day.

Or rather another day repeats.

This is my life.

Day after day, nothing really changes.

I don't know when I can
become a normal person,

having a life
without being bothered by germs.

If there is a possibility
of that day coming,

I wonder what kind of life it will be.

Even though most of the time
I live in seclusion,

the 15th of every month

is the day I go out.

Whether there's wind, rain,
typhoon, or a sandstorm coming,

I go out on the 15th.

31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36...

It takes 1,532 steps
to reach the convenience store.

I usually focus on counting my steps

so as to distract myself
from the germs in the air.

I pay the rent, water bill,

power bill,

gas bill, and internet bill,

register at the hospital,

check-in, and see the doctor.

Number 37, Chen Po-ching.

How are you doing?

Same old, same old.

Let's keep the same prescription
for another three months.

Thank you, Doctor.

71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76,

77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84...

531, 532, 533, 534, 535,

536, 537, 538, 539, 540...

If just one thing deviates from the norm,

my SOP is immediately
thrown off the rails.

Then I start getting nervous.

Once I get nervous, I will want to...

(Wellcome)

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not following her.

She just happens to be
taking the same path as me.

I'm wondering.

She can't possibly be going
to the same destination.

(Wellcome Superstore)

Darn, it's really the same spot.

(Wellcome Superstore)

Why are you following me?

No, I'm not.

Then what are you doing?

I'm...

I'm shopping.

I'm warning you.

Stop following me.

That'll be 4,817 dollars.

Cash or credit?

Credit.

Hey.

Is there any more stock for White Factor?

All out.

If it's not on the shelf, then we're out.

Thank you.

Hey.

Are you talking to me?

Who else is here?

What?

Don't tell anyone what you saw earlier.

What if I do?

Don't get me wrong.

I'm really just here to buy White Factor,

but you've got the last three bottles.

You can have this one. Hush money.

Hush money?

We're even.

I couldn't fall asleep that night.

All night,

I thought about the shoplifting girl.

And the next day, I broke my SOP.

That's right.

This is the opening scene of the movie.

I told you I shouldn't
be here around this time.

But for that psycho,

I broke my SOP.

Without a doubt, the curse has arrived.

Hey.

Why are you here again?

You're not here to tell on me, are you?

No.

I'm here to do some shopping.

What are you buying?

That's not the point.

Why are you here again?

Are you busy right now?

What?

Come on.

(Wellcome Superstore)

Hey, what are we doing here?

This is a blind spot
of the surveillance camera.

Over here, we can't see the cashier.

Will she be able to see us?

If we can't see her, how can she see us?

Then she can't see us.

So what are we doing anyway?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hush.

Be quiet. Don't get us caught.

Just steal it yourself.
Why drag me into this?

This way, you won't be snitching on me.

Hey.

Come on.

Hey.

Go on this side of the belt
if you didn't buy anything.

Are you all right?

Yes, that was...

That was really close.

It's quite exciting, right?

It is pretty exciting.

But why do you steal the chocolate?

It only costs 30 dollars a box.

I don't want to do it.

It's like a curse that God gave me.

If I don't steal something...

You would feel like you left
something unfinished all day.

That's right.

You get me.

Because I'm like that as well.

But don't you think it's messed up?

It is pretty messed up.

But my condition is
pretty messed up as well.

How so?

I...

I keep washing my hands.

Washing hands sounds all right.

But I need to do it first thing
whenever I go somewhere.

I need to wash them
whenever it occurs to me.

I'll keep washing them
even if they get wrinkly.

To cut down on washing my hands,

I can only try...

To clean your house more thoroughly.

That's right.

You get me.

Because I'm like that as well.

That means

we're the same.

I'm not like you.

There are different levels
to this condition, okay?

I need to get going.

My skin gets sensitive

when I've been outside for three hours.

You can have this.

I don't like chocolate.

I just like to steal it.

I don't like it...

either.

Hey.

Did you come here looking for me today?

What?

I'm getting off at the next stop.
Give me your phone.

Okay.

Buddy,

don't miss me too much.

That's how I met...

Chen Ching.

(Weirdo Chen Ching)

Hi, there.

Hi!

(Buddy, are you asleep yet?)

Not yet.

(Are you free next Wednesday?
Want to go somewhere with me?)

(2nd floor, No. 1-4, Lane 20, Section 2)

(Zhongshan North Road, Zhongshan District)

What?

(See you next Wednesday.)

The destination is on your left.

You have reached your destination.

When painting the details,

you need to make sure

to keep the shape in mind

so you don't lose a sense of proportion.

You are...

I'm Chen Ching's friend.

Have a seat here.

Okay, thank you.

Follow my instructions.

Enter the next level.

Today, we're going to draw the human body.

The first thing to notice
is that it's a living subject.

Unlike still objects...

How's your condition today?
Are you up for it?

Basically, we'll be doing
a sitting posture today.

The theme is
a fallen angel with broken wings.

I'm thinking you can adjust
your pose however you want,

but I would like to see
more sorrow in your eyes.

Face the students, okay?

Class, the drawing session today
will be four hours.

The intermission will be 15 minutes.

Time is of the essence,
so let's start right away.

Hey.

Are you having second thoughts?

About what?

About coming to visit me today.

No.

I guess I'm just

too overwhelmed.

This is just a job,

like working at a convenience store.

Not really.

The staff there wouldn't have

to take their clothes off.

Are you jealous?

Not at all.

Hey.

Do you have a crush on me?

What?

Do you have a crush on me?

Why else would you be jealous
because of something like this?

Who says I'm jealous?

Really?

But you haven't answered
my question from last time.

What question?

I asked you

if you were looking for me
at the supermarket.

I won't answer that.

We are all adults here.

Can you grow up a bit?

Fine, then answer this.

Were you looking for me
at the supermarket?

That's right.

Why else would I add
your contact information

and ask you to come to the studio?

I think I'm making myself pretty clear.

Are you confessing now?

Why?

Is it illegal for a girl
to confess her love?

If you like me as well,

then let's not waste time
by being ambiguous.

Fine,

you can take some time to think about it.

If you decide to be with me,

send me a smiley face emoji

before midnight tonight.

If not, just send me a crying face emoji.

Okay.

Show me what you drew.

No, it's really bad.

Let me have a look.

No.

-Just a peek.
-Hey.

-Just a peek.
-No.

I'll be waiting.

This psycho

makes my heart race.

I wonder what will happen to my life

if I send this smiley face to her.

After all, she is not a normal person,

but more like a psychopath.

But what are the odds of meeting
a psycho who gets you in life?

You really took your time.

I didn't. It's not even midnight yet.

(Fine.)

But

I kind of mind your job at the studio.

Really? What am I supposed to do?

It's not like you'll be my meal ticket.

Sure, I can do that.

You're so easy.

Fine, it's a deal then.

Just like that, we're together.

Would you like to go
to another place next Wednesday?

Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this.

Please turn right.

The destination is on your right.

You have arrived at your destination.

Coming.

-Hi.
-Hi.

What is this place?

My place.

Come on in. It's dirty out there.

Over here.

Hey.

Put this on for me.

Okay.

Tea or water?

I'll take coffee if you have any.

Here, water for you.

Framing this is a waste of money.

How so?

It's my retirement piece.

It's worthwhile.

So you really quit?

Of course.

You said you'd be my meal ticket.

Darn, I might have been too rash.

Relax, I'm not that high-maintenance.

Besides, I still have some savings.

Do you go to the studio pretty often?

I can only do it
four times a month at most.

My skin gets sensitive

after being outside for three hours.

It takes me two to three days
to recover after a job.

That sounds like a difficult job.

It is pretty difficult.

Besides being naked for others,

I have to stay still for 4 hours

with only 15 minutes of intermission.

But in order to make money
in the fastest way possible,

I have to make the sacrifice.

It's a good thing
you don't have to do it anymore.

Since you're going to support me,

what do you do exactly?

I'm a translator.

This was translated by you?

That's me. Chen Po-ching.

Goodness. Being a translator
sounds pretty badass.

Do you make a lot of money?

If I translate fast,
I would make a lot of money.

But I...

You're a slow translator?

My speed is fine.

But I have a weird problem.

What is that?

I have difficulty typing.

Difficulty typing?

Yes.

I have to write down
the translation first,

then slowly type it up.

If I could type at a normal speed,

I could probably double my earnings.

How slow are we talking about?

Really slow.

Here, show me.

"Sin City, translated by Chen Po-ching."

What is wrong with you?

I have no idea.

Buddy,

I told you I'm superior to you.

The only award I ever won growing up.

Mandarin listening
and typing contest, first place.

It is a pretty useless award.

Not exactly.

I could never do this.

You could read it
and I'll type it for you.

Then you'll be done
once you've finished reading it.

That sounds like a good idea.

But I'll have to charge you.

That's not a problem.

My extra earnings will be your wages.

In that case, you really don't
have to go to the studio.

You're quite a quick thinker.

Today is the first day
of our relationship.

Do you want to take a selfie together,

my boyfriend?

Every Wednesday,

I go out on a date with Chen Ching.

Sometimes, she'll go with me
to pay the rent.

Or I'll go with her
to shoplift at the supermarket.

When we aren't going out,

we talk over video calls.

"And in the tenth month,
her father died in her arms.

This last blow overcame her..."

All I can say is that

this is a match made in heaven.

-Rock, paper, scissors.
-Rock, paper, scissors.

To come up with more reasons to meet,

Chen Ching invented
a game called "Germ Challenge".

Street food?

Yes.

The one who finishes
the food first is the winner.

Ma'am, two helpings of plain noodles.

Okay, coming right up.

As implied by the title,

the game challenges
our endurance for germs.

The winner gets a wish granted
by the other person.

In this way,

we both have broken our own SOP.

Excuse me, I'll clean this up.

Here you go. Two plain noodles.

I can't do it!

-Rock, paper, scissors.
-Rock, paper, scissors.

"Pick up litter."

It's everyone's duty
to care for the environment.

200 m.

The first one to fill a bag is the winner.

Go.

-Rock, paper, scissors.
-Rock, paper, scissors.

Recycling center.

Eco-friendly products

make the world a better place.

The longer our game went on,

the more time we spent together.

However, Chen Ching's sensitivity
kept getting worse.

Have you been going out a lot?

The air quality recently
has been quite terrible.

Avoid going out if possible.

Reduce your exposure to pollution.

I'll prescribe some medication for you.

This should help ease your symptoms.

Thank you, Doctor.

To help Chen Ching
avoid exposure to pollution,

I made a decision.

I know what my wish is going to be.

What?

If we move in together,

we don't have to find
so many excuses to go out.

Your allergies won't act up
very often anymore.

Are you serious?

Coming.

Hey.

Hi.

Goodness.

A surprise.

For two people who have OCD,

living together might be harder
than playing the Germ Challenge.

I thought things would
go sideways pretty soon,

but somehow,

there are more upsides than I expected.

One, two, three!

With a skilled partner like
Chen Ching on board,

my sanitizing time has
been reduced by half.

It's still so early.

What are we going to do next?

Come on, it'll be dirty again soon.

Obviously, we should...

Number 37, Chen Po-ching.

Number 38, Chen Ching.

Hey.

In Western society,

kissing is often considered
a way of greeting people,

like a kiss on the cheek.

But more often,

it is a way of showing affection
to another person.

When kissing, the brain releases dopamine,

serotonin, and lots of adrenaline,

creating a pleasurable and joyful state.

Which character is used for dopamine?

The one under the radical for meat.

During kissing,
there is an exchange of saliva,

which contains

water, enzymes, bacteria,
fat, natural salt, and protein,

prompting the immune system
to create antibodies.

When kissing passionately,

a male's heart rate rises to 110 bpm

and a female's heart rate
rises to 108 bpm.

In other words,

kissing can help improve blood circulation

and strengthen the cardiovascular system.

A passionate kiss burns
about three to five calories.

If one engages in kissing every day,

it can help with weight loss.

All in all,

kissing can improve
mental and physical health.

Besides showing love for someone,

kissing is also really good
for one's health.

Should we maybe...

I think so.

I feel...

so dirty.

Me too.

Hey.

Have you ever wondered
how your life will end?

No.

I have.

Suicide.

Because of OCD?

Yes.

Don't you think it's unfair?

Why do we have to be weirdos?

Why can't we live like normal people?

I find it so unfair every day.

I didn't give it much thought.

I think I just accepted it naturally.

Why would you accept it?

Because I can't do anything to change it.

If I keep obsessing over it,

I would be even more unhappy.

But are you okay

with cleaning every day and not going out?

No, but what can I do about it anyway?

That's right, nothing.

So when I find it too unbearable one day,

I will commit suicide.

But if you don't have OCD,

or if you kill yourself,

we wouldn't be together anymore.

So what are you saying?

Is it destiny?

Yes.

It's like what each person is meant to do

has already been decided.

Then what if I tell you

that God gave us OCD

so we can meet each other?

Would you find that nauseating?

Yes, really nauseating.

It's not something you would say.

I never imagined

that someone exists who would
want to be with me like this.

Now I somehow feel

it wouldn't be so bad
if things stay this way.

Do you think

we can keep things this way

without making any changes?

Of course we can.

Why not?

I don't know.

I just feel that it won't be that easy.

Well, let's make a pinky promise.

A promise of what?

Promise...

Promise that if either of us
changes in the future,

then that person will gain
one more OCD condition.

Don't we have a hard enough time already?

Then just stay the same.

Sure.

What will the OCD condition be then?

Do you know that some people
keep repeating the same sentence?

Just like this.

Just like this.

Just like this.

Just like this.

They don't know how long it will continue,

but they just can't help
but keep saying it.

Having this OCD

will be even more painful than
having mysophobia.

Okay. What will that person have to say?

I haven't thought about it yet.

Let's do a pinky swear first.

Sure. Why not?

Out of nowhere,

my OCD disappeared just like that.

What are you doing?

I thought Chen Ching would be glad for me,

but she wasn't.

How about this?

Nothing.

And this?

Nothing.

And this?

Nothing.

And this?

Still nothing.

What about this then?

Nothing.

Why is this happening?

Didn't we make
the pinky promise just yesterday?

(National Nightmare University Hospital)

It's gone?

I woke up this morning
and it was completely gone.

Did you take the pills regularly?

Yes.

Doctor, is it possible
to get the OCD back?

-Get the OCD back?
-Yes.

What do you mean by getting it back?

If OCD is treatable,
it's possible to get it again.

We don't want to be cured.

This is something
you can get again, right?

In my 20 years as a doctor,

I've never heard of such a request.

We would like to.

Take influenza as an example.

The hospital can give you a vaccine,

but it doesn't mean the hospital
can spread the virus.

Besides, if your boyfriend's OCD is cured,

that means
the long-term therapy is working.

You should be happy about it, right?

Why are you taking away
our right to get OCD?

We just don't want to be cured. Got it?

Miss, I'm only a doctor.

It's hard enough curing OCD,

let alone taking away your rights.

What the heck?

He doesn't even know how to treat OCD.

We're not here for treatment, are we?

Why not?

If OCD can be cured, there must
be a way to get it again.

Then what now?

Let's go to another hospital.

There has to be a place
that guarantees OCD or a refund.

This one sucks!

Ever since that day, we began
visiting different hospitals.

Register, wait, get seen,

get rejected by the doctor,
then Chen Ching gets mad.

Register again,
wait again, get seen again,

get rejected by the doctor again,
then Chen Ching gets mad again.

Don't assume this is over yet.

A woman's willpower is not
to be underestimated.

Grab a handful of rice.
Distribute it into three dishes.

Please draw one card.

The Lovers card.

You will stand at a crossroads.

This decision will challenge
your ethics and happiness.

You're facing a drastic change.

This change is something

you've been longing for deep down.

But due to certain restrictions,

you can't seem to enjoy it just yet.

Young man,

you've been haunted.

Don't go to any funerals
in the near future.

If one is in your path,
try to take a detour.

Here.

Take this home.

Use a mix of hot and cold water.

Place the charm in the water
and take three sips.

Use the rest of the water
to rub your front and back

and launder your clothes.

Then I guarantee
that everything will be fine.

Here, take three sips.

Close your eyes.

Sit for five minutes
and then take a shower.

Why don't we get some rest?

No.

I want to fold 20 more.

Even if you make 20 more,

we won't get to 1,000 today.

Every single one counts.

Stop folding.

Why stop?

Don't you want to get better?

I do,

but you should stop it now.

We have been trying too hard lately.

Look, we have been going out every day.

Your rash hasn't gone away.

I'm willing to do it.

I know.

But I don't want to see you like this.

I just want you to get better soon

so we can go back to our original lives.

But even if I don't get better,

we can still live like we used to.

Clean together. Eat together.

Nothing is going to change.

Is that so?

I got it.

I know what to say
for the promise we made.

If I ever change,

I'll repeat the sentence,

"Nothing is going to change."

And I won't ever stop saying it.

In order to keep that promise,

Po-ching has been imprisoned
in this small house.

Perhaps, I should do something
to improve the situation.

Here.

We need chicken drumsticks.

As for vegetables,
the green ones are better.

Get beef short ribs.

Make sure it has
an even distribution of fat.

Check the expiration dates on the fish.

Okay, got it.

Hurry back. It's really dirty out there.

Okay.

I'm going.

I decided to let him go out
and do some shopping.

I thought it could
satisfy his desire to go out,

but I was wrong.

Once the bar is lowered,

the standard will just keep dropping.

One shopping trip per month
became once every three weeks.

Then once every two weeks.

Once a week.

Twice a week.

Eventually, it became...

Hey, I'm going out to buy milk.

I actually don't care
if he goes out or not.

I'm just scared that

once he gets used to going out,

what will happen then?

Hey.

I would like
to discuss something with you.

What is it?

When I was visiting the publisher today,

the boss asked me if I want to work there.

Work?

He said I've been a translator
for some time now.

He would like to promote me as an editor,

managing other writers, and translators.

It's a management position.

And what did you say?

I told him I needed to think about it.

I should discuss this with you

if I'm going to work in an office.

It's your job. You should
make your own decision.

So...

you're not against it?

Do you know how much salary
the boss offered me?

How much?

It's 52,000 dollars.

That's pretty generous.

Very generous.

It's about 20,000 dollars more,

so that is 240,000 dollars more in a year.

What would you use
that extra 240,000 dollars for?

Not really for anything.

But I can't complain about earning more.

It can improve our quality of life.

We could get a better place or something.

Since you've made up your mind,
why are you asking me?

No.

You asked me what I would do
with the extra money,

so I'm just sharing my idea.

Are you upset?

No.

So...

What do you think?

If you feel financially burdened,

I can go back to the studio again.

How can I let you go back
to the studio again?

Besides, there is a chance
to make more money now.

Even though I don't approve
of him going to work,

I know he's making a good point.

You don't need a reason
to want a better quality of life,

even if this is just his excuse
for wanting to go out.

Perhaps I should've been more graceful

since this day would eventually come.

Here.

Remember to be polite.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Okay.

Call me if you need anything.

I'll be here at all times.

I know. I'm not a kid anymore.

This is your first day at work.

I'm worried you'll get bullied.

Okay, I'll get going.

Come home soon after work.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Everyone,

this is our new colleague, Chen Po-ching.

He used to work
as our outsourced translator.

Several of our core publications
are his masterpieces.

He'll be working here
as a production editor.

Let's give him a warm welcome.

Mei-yu.

Be Po-ching's guide
for the next three days.

Show him around the office.

Okay.

Mei-yu is single. Take your chances.

Do you need some help?

I don't quite know how to use this.

Let me take a look.

Please.

There's no paper in the tray.

-Hold this for me.
-Okay.

All set.

Thank you.

Let me know if you need anything.

Don't forget I'm your guide.

Okay.

Hi, I'm Chen Po-ching.

How is it? Looks pretty good, right?

It's not bad.

How was your first day of work?

Do you want to quit already?

No. Why would I?

Everybody at the office is so kind.

It's not what I imagined.

What did you think it would be like?

I thought it would be like
in those TV dramas

with people scheming and plotting.

Maybe it's still early.

It's just your first day.

That's true.

But the boss also said

he will regularly give a raise every year.

There are also holiday parties
and a company trip.

I'll also receive
a year-end bonus this year.

It's two months' salary.

That's nice.

Yes, these are benefits
that contractors don't get.

It's my boss.

Hello? Go ahead, sir.

Sure.

I'm free this weekend.

Work is more important.

Po-ching began going to work
like a normal person.

Meanwhile, I was doing chores
at home like a housewife.

It's like I'm back to being single,

except it's not my own house
that I'm cleaning.

I have to convince myself every day.

As it's said, "Men make houses,
women make homes."

This is like any other family.

I haven't been sleeping well lately.

Insomnia?

Is your job stressful?

I can't possibly say I'm stressed
because my boyfriend is normal.

I suppose so.

Do you get more than
four hours of sleep a day?

Yes, but I'm a light sleeper,

so I wake up every hour or so.

Even if I fall asleep, I have dreams.

Try not to use the computer or do any work

in the hour before bedtime.

I'll prescribe some sleeping pills first.

Try taking half a pill if you can't sleep.

Okay.

Please wait outside.

Okay, thank you.

By the way, is your boyfriend
doing all right?

Define being all right.

Just living like a normal person
would be considered great.

Then he's doing great.

He began to be sloppy.

He spends more time outside than at home.

Even when he is at home,

we don't have much to talk about.

How's your book exhibition?

It's doing well.

I'm going to bed.

I have several meetings
with vendors tomorrow.

Should I make breakfast for you?

No need.

I'll get some on my way there.

Actually, I can still live with this.

Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows.

But one day,

Po-ching was gone
for ten hours after work.

I still remember it was 3:47 a.m.

Your call will be directed to voicemail.

Leave your message after the beep.

Come on. Let's go inside.

Careful.

-That hurts.
-Be careful.

Go slowly.

I'm really slow.

Going up the stairs now. Slowly.

Come on. Watch your step.

Be careful.

Here.

Sit down.

Don't lie down yet.

Don't puke.

(Mei-yu: I'm home.)

(Mei-yu)

Do you know how many times
I called you yesterday?

Forty-six times.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

I was too drunk to hear the phone ringing.

When did your book exhibition end?

At 5:30 p.m.,

but there was
a celebration party afterward.

I remember I told you about it.

From 5:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.,

that's a total of 10 hours.

You were celebrating for ten hours?

After the party, they went drinking again.

I got dragged there at the last moment.

If I question him now,

it will make him put his guard up.

So I held back.

Do you know you puked
all over me yesterday?

I'm sorry.

This is the first time I drank so much.

I had no idea I would be like this.

I don't even know when I got drunk.

I'm sorry.

Don't drink so much next time.

Go get a shower.

I'll change the bedsheet and duvet cover.

(Messages)

I need to get going.

Are you coming home for dinner?

I'll let you know later.

I need to visit a few clients.

I don't know how long it'll take.

Be careful then.

-Bye.
-Bye.

(Chen Po-ching, HeKou Press)

Miss, how can I help you?

Is HeKou Press here?

Yes, the seventh floor.

Are you here for business
or seeing someone?

Okay, keep up the good work.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

I'm home.

What's wrong?

Who's that woman?

What are you talking about?

Who's that woman?

What woman?

I don't know who you're talking about.

The woman who had dinner with you.

I saw it.

She's my colleague.

Colleague?

Would a colleague text you
in the middle of the night?

Would a colleague kiss you?

What's that all about?

I let you go out like you've asked.

I let you go to work like you've asked.

I've been doing house chores
for you every day.

Why are you doing this to me?

What did I do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

Then why are you doing this to me?

Talk to me.

Why are you doing this to me?

I don't know.

This is not something I can choose.

What do you mean you can't choose?

Should I choose for you?

Or is there someone else
who can choose for you?

Don't you get it?

Since the day my OCD went away,

everything has changed.

That's why I've been trying so hard.

Why else would I go out there
exposing myself to germs?

I did it for you.

You did it for yourself.

Why don't you try to make your OCD better?

Instead, you took me to temples to pray.

Do you know that I don't want to have OCD?

I just don't want
our relationship to change!

Simple as that!

But I have changed.

Why can't you accept that fact
and be happy for me?

Why should I be happy for you?

I finally found someone who gets me.

Why did you suddenly change yourself?

Besides, you promised me
that you wouldn't change.

But I've become a normal person!

Naturally, I would have
normal social activities,

a normal job, and a normal partner.

I told you I don't have a choice in it.

Who are you saying that's not normal?

I didn't mean that.

Do you find me weird now?

Chen Po-ching,
are you saying that I'm abnormal?

How can you do this to me?

Why are you belittling me?

Talk to me! Say something!

Are you done?

I'm so sick of you!

It took me three days to clean the house.

But I know that
once certain things are tainted,

they can never go back
to what they were anymore.

The pills aren't helping you sleep?

No.

I wake up after sleeping
for an hour or so.

I'll prescribe some melatonin to you then.

But it's not covered
by insurance. Is that okay?

Sure.

Up the dosage
of sleeping pills to 1.5 pills.

I'll give you a three-month prescription.

Cut back the dose if your sleep improves.

Okay. Thank you, Doctor.

What are you looking at?

Let's buy something for dinner.

What do you want to eat?

-Beef.
-Okay.

If we're having beef,

let's make curry rice.

I like curry rice.

Then let's get beef shank.

Pork?

No.

Do you know that woman?

Why is she staring at us?

I don't know her.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Do you think

we can keep things this way

without making any changes?

Of course we can.

Why not?

Do you know that woman?

Why is she staring at us?

I don't know her.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

I'm willing to do it.

I know.

But I don't want to see you like this.

I just want you to get better soon

so we can go back to our original lives.

But even if I don't get better,

we can still live like we used to.

Clean together. Eat together.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

I finally know
what it's like not having OCD.

But instead of being happy, I'm terrified.

Because I know what will happen next.

Doctor, is it possible
to get the OCD back?

What do you mean by getting it back?

If OCD is treatable,
it's possible to get it again.

We don't want to be cured.

This is something
you can get again, right?

What the heck?

He doesn't even know how to treat OCD.

We're not here for treatment, are we?

Why not?

If OCD can be cured, there must
be a way to get it again.

Then what now?

Let's go to another hospital.

There has to be a place
that guarantees OCD or a refund.

This one sucks!

The Lovers card.

You will stand at a crossroads.

But due to certain restrictions,

you can't seem to enjoy it just yet.

Here, take three sips.

To put an end to all this,

I would make him a promise.

Why stop?

Don't you want to get better?

I do.

But even if I don't have OCD,

we can still live like we used to.

Clean together. Eat together.

Nothing is going to change.

But he'll eventually notice
my desire to go out,

and he'll lower the bar.

We need chicken drumsticks.

As for vegetables,
the green ones are better.

I'm going.

But I won't be satisfied.

I'll keep making
more unreasonable demands.

Work?

He said I've been a translator
for some time now.

He would like to promote me as an editor,

managing other writers and translators.

It's a management position.

Out of respect,
he'll let me work in the office.

Call me if you need anything.

I'll be here at all times.

I know. I'm not a kid anymore.

This is your first day at work.
I'm worried you'll get bullied.

Here.

I'll get going.

Come home soon after work.

Okay.

-Bye.
-Bye.

I start spending more time
at work than at home.

Even when I'm at home,
we don't have much to talk about.

How's the book exhibition?

It's doing well.

Do you need some help?

I don't quite know how to use this.

Let me take a look.

Thank you.

I'll meet someone
more suited for me out there.

I won't tell Po-ching,

but he'll find out eventually.

Who is that man?

What man?

I don't know who you're talking about.

The man who had dinner with you.

I saw it.

I'll blame it all on OCD

and force Po-ching to admit the truth.

Since the day my OCD went away,

everything has changed.

That's why I've been trying so hard.

Why else would I go out there
exposing myself to germs?

I did it for you.

You did it for yourself.

Why don't you try to make your OCD better?

Instead, you took me to temples to pray.

Do you know that I don't want to have OCD?

I just don't want
our relationship to change!

Simple as that!

But I've become a normal person!

Naturally, I would have
normal social activities,

a normal job, and a normal partner.

I don't have a choice in it.

Who are you saying that's not normal?

Beef shank? What can we make with that?

This looks delicious.

This one.

Why is that guy staring at us?

Do you know him?

I don't know him.

I'll walk away in the end,

leaving him all alone in that small house.

Nothing is going to change.

Do you think

we can keep things this way

without making any changes?

Of course we can.

Why not?

I don't know.

I just feel that it won't be that easy.

Well, let's make a pinky promise.

A promise of what?

Promise that if either of us
changes in the future,

then that person will gain
one more OCD condition.

Sure. Why not?

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change.

What are you doing out here?

When you're in love,

all their flaws become merits.

When you're not in love,

all those flaws become fatal.

Is it time to end it

before I hurt him?
