A DIME A JOB

It’s breezy and nice today.

Just today?

Didn't you say you like the rain?

I lied.

Why would you lie about that?

I don't know.

It was nonsense.

Since it’s raining, are you down for a seafood pancake?

Yes, with makgeolli?

I’m down.

Kim Tae-hee!

Sir, look at me.

It’s acute stroke. Go fast.

-Are you a doctor? -Yes, please go as fast as possible.

Hello.

I should leave now.

Have we met before?

I think I’ve seen you before.

Um…

Last time…

at the bridge.

Yes! With your flowers?

Yes.

Since when did you like the rain?

Who’s that girl?

2nd floor.

I see.

Do you have more vacant rooms?

I want to move in too.

Vincent’s so cute.

How’d you find out about this place?

I saw you at the hospital.

How have you been?

How are you?

Don’t you care to ask those questions?

I assumed you’d be well.

You thought about me?

Are you a red ginseng? An energy booster?

Two hot Americanos, please.

How can someone take this many shifts?

How can someone’s wish be five hours of sleep?

Please put ice in one of them.

-Just one? -Yes.

I’m not good with hot drinks.

Thank you.

Babe, why do you keep ordering it hot?

-Just order it with ice. -No.

No, okay. Drink it hot.

Fine.

Why can’t you be like this?

You have no in-between.

There's no cooling down.

Why’s it either too hot…

Or too cold for you?

You just have to wait.

It’ll become warm.

It'll cool down.

Just give it some time.

Do you still think

it’s your fault?

Is it because of me?

-No. -See.

Time doesn’t heal everything.

Time has passed and you’re still not okay.

Do you need more time?

SHE HAS APPEARED

Oh my God, my stomach.

I’ve had too much makgeolli.

I need hangover food.

Hey.

What are you doing?

It’s hot. I’m just trying to cool off.

Hey, you idiot, move!

Polar bears are suffering because of fools like you.

COLD MEDICINE

Are you insane? You’re underage.

-It’s not for me. -Whatever.

-Just give it to me. -I don't have any. Leave.

-Damn it. Just give it to me. -I said leave.

Next, please.

As if I didn't have enough things to take care of.

A DIME A JOB

What? Father?

Goodness. Brother!

-What brings you here? -What about you, Brother?

This is a small company I’m running.

And I live on the 2nd floor.

A Dime A Job?

Kim Jip-sa?

-Are you looking for Kim Jip-sa? -Yes.

Hey! Come here!

Hurry.

This is Kim Jip-sa. He’s also my nephew.

Nice to meet you.

That’s a relief.

-A relief? -What?

What I’m saying is, I’m glad to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Yes, nice to meet you too.

Hey, he says he knows you.

-He knows me? -Yes.

Um… I got your business card before.

And I thought it was creative. I couldn’t forget it.

Thank you.

See, I told you. We need to put more effort in marketing.

Father, do you need anything? What brings you here?

Well…

-Uncle. -I’m here to see my niece.

Niece?

I ask for your blessings over our children of the A Dime A Job house.

Please be their shelter.

Please let A Dime A Job thrive and help the children to love

and to be happy.

Almighty Lord, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Please bless all those who are gathered here.

Prayer of repentance. Amen.

Thank you all.

Father, thank you so much.

I wanted a blessing especially because it’s my first business.

It’s been too long since I’ve visited the chapel.

So I didn't have the courage.

But I received a great blessing, thanks to Dong-joo.

Goodness. I’m rather grateful

that Dong-joo has great neighbors.

I’m relieved.

Of course, put your mind at ease.

Thank you.

I’ll see you--

-Father. -Are you okay?

Yes, here. I can do it.

Father, are you okay?

I’m fine, but I’m afraid Dong-joo would hit me.

Father, since you’re here already, feel free to look around our office.

I’d love to,

but I have plans with Sister Director. Next time.

Sure, we’ll have everything ready and invite you over soon.

That’s wonderful. But, why don’t you visit the chapel first?

Come with your nephew, Brother.

There’s no pressure, just come to eat.

Our chapel is famous for the food in the Bongsu district.

Then I’ll make sure to drag this fool with me, even if I have to tie him on a leash.

-What, leash? -Are you going to the chapel?

-Yes. -I'll drop you off.

No, that’s fine.

I’m heading to Bongsu Park anyway for a dog-walking errand.

I'll drop you off on the way.

-No. -Come on.

It’s fine.

-It’ll be quick. -Go by yourself.

-I’ll get going. -Okay.

I’ll see you again, nephew Brother.

I didn’t know your uncle was a priest.

I see.

Cold?

No.

Is it because you got rained on yesterday?

Please go to the hospital. You’re making me feel bad.

You don’t need to feel bad.

Let’s grab some jjamppong later.

Is eating the only you thing you have to talk about everyday?

So, are you down? Or no?

I know you want to go.

Isn’t it that way?

Come here real quick.

Are you serious? 1234?

It’s simple and nice.

That’s too easy.

Pick another one.

And not 5678.

How’d you know?

Come on, put more thought into it.

Use eight numbers.

And not 12345678.

-Goodness. And no birthdays. -Whoa.

Again.

I'm done.

Try it.

Do you think I’m an idiot?

I used a date I’d never forget.

Okay, so try it.

I said it's fine.

One more thing.

I know, I’m considerate.

So cool…

I know, I am.

What the…

I’m talking about the doctor.

I saw the doctor at the bridge.

A man was in a critical situation,

and she just ran over and handled it.

She was speaking English to the paramedic, telling him to hurry.

Oh! And she just threw her bag that looked very expensive.

That’s who she is.

She has that side to her.

Is she your friend?

Yes.

How do you have a friend like her?

She’s an alumni.

-Your first love? -Yes.

Yes?

Oh, your first love?

No wonder she looked like the type to be someone’s first love.

If I were a boy, I’d like her too.

First love.

It's done.

I’m Dong-joo’s dad.

Can I see you? Wherever is more convenient for you.

We’re going to eat jjamppong, right?

I’ll call you after work.

First love…

Goodness.

I said I'd go. You didn’t have to come here in this hot weather.

It’s fine. I had plans nearby.

I see.

I wanted to thank you for that day.

You saved my life.

I almost died.

You haven’t told Dong-joo, right?

I haven’t said a word.

No wonder. If she knew, then she would’ve killed me.

Okay.

I wanted to thank you.

I know I can’t repay you with this,

but this is all I can give.

I heard you started studying again, but I saw you with a paper bag.

I hope you like it.

Thank you. I like it a lot.

I don’t know if I should take this…

I’m bribing you.

-Excuse me? -She asked to give her time until Fall.

Even if she doesn't pass the exam, I'll wait until the time I promised.

I’m going to tell her to come back after the Fall.

You two are neighbors, so I hope you can take good care of her.

Oh, no.

I’m not trying to pressure you.

I just wanted to you to watch out for her.

No, it’s not that either.

Well, honestly…

I’m just worried because she got a job at a bad place before.

I see.

-Your first love? -Yes.

-Hello. -Yes, hello.

My mom’s inside, right?

Oh…

Yes.

TREATMENT ROOM

It was ridiculous.

Oh, you're here.

-Dr. Choi, I must bring my car out. -Okay, I’ll be right there.

Chung-ha, join us for lunch.

We’ve never had a proper meal together.

I don’t have free time.

Right, you’re busy. See you around.

Stuck with him again?

Watch what you say.

Don’t act like some kid who didn't receive a proper upbringing.

I’ve had more stepfathers than there are players on a soccer team.

When would I have had a chance to receive such a thing?

You seem busy. Why’d you need me?

Here.

Do-ah furniture's third son.

He studied abroad in the States and it's not been long since he flew back.

Does he get physical with girls?

Or does he do drugs?

-What? -Why would he meet someone like me?

It's obvious.

For you, anyone is good enough as long as it's a guy, right?

I’m not like you.

Is this because of that bastard?

You’re still not over him, are you?

Stop holding onto someone who left you.

You’re better than that.

What do I have?

I don’t have anything

or anyone who’s on my side. I don’t even have normal parents.

I don't have anything.

He was the only one on my side.

He was always on my side.

Chung-ha.

Chung-ha!

CHUNG-HA

A DIME A JOB

REQUEST TO EAT LUNCH PAYMENT COMPLETE

Can I have some cold medicine? For coughing.

Yes, where are you?

I’ll have to take a rain check for jjamppong.

I’m sorry, something came up.

I see. Okay, that’s fine.

COLD MEDICINE

Eat.

Why aren’t you eating? You can’t live without jjamppong.

And it rained yesterday. You always needed to have this when you were feeling down.

Don’t do this ever again.

My mom has a new boyfriend again.

You know I have nobody else to talk to.

I couldn’t think of anyone else.

Just you…

So…

Can't you just feel bad for me?

Dong-joo. I was wondering if you can make time for me today.

I want to have lunch with you.

Il-seob, our baby has heart disease.

The heart is larger than normal.

And the lungs, liver, and kidneys aren’t functioning.

A transplant is the only solution, but it’s hard to find a newborn donor.

Il-seob, can you lend me 30,000,000 won?

There’s a shaman ritual in Gampo that can help.

A Sea God can save our baby.

Just 50,000,000 won. I’ll pay you back. I’m serious.

I'll do anything. I’d even sell my organs.

I'll pay it back.

Please leave a voicemail…

-Hello! -Goodness. You scared me.

You remember me, right? You haven’t forgotten?

Right. You're the granddaughter.

I'm Yoo So-ra.

Can you take this? It’s heavy.

What is this?

I’m not telling you.

Presents should be a surprise.

A present? You didn’t have to--

Please take it.

You’ve sent my grandma to heaven.

So-ra…

I’m sure she went to heaven, but it’s not because of me.

-I can’t take this. -It’s nothing bad.

I'm

far and square, Yoo So-ra.

I’ll back off for today.

Hey.

Don’t tell Baek Dong-joo. I trust you.

Hey!

What is it?

You’re always busy taking care of other people.

But not yourself.

That’s why I’m trying to take care of you. Please don’t skip meals.

Love, Yoo So-ra.

What the?

What is it?

Who ate all this?

Your daughter, who else?

This much?

Is this leaking?

It's nothing much, but take it. It's vitamins.

It’ll give you strength.

That’s fine, you should eat it.

I don’t need this.

Here.

Your body and your heart work together.

If your body aches, then your heart aches and vice versa.

That’s why you must take care of your body.

Even if that’s for me.

Dong-joo,

I like it when you smile.

All my problems go away when I imagine your smile.

Thank you.

No need to thank me. I couldn’t even make it to our movie plan.

I'm a bad person.

REQUEST TO EAT LUNCH

Jeez. The ramen looks even more delicious when I’m with you, Dong-joo.

Wait.

Isn’t that…

Yes, the bully.

Goodness. He must’ve ditched class.

Officer, can you catch him?

He always buys cigarettes in his school uniform. How shameless.

He could’ve at least changed out of his school uniform before he buys it.

I should teach him a lesson.

Wait.

Isn’t that Tae-hee?

Did you order the cigarettes?

Oh, did you just call?

I think I saw you at the convenience store earlier.

What about the cigarettes?

Isn't Tae-hee getting beat up by him?

He'll figure it out.

I should step up.

Hae-an.

Well…

I should get going.

You haven't eaten anything.

I'm sorry.

Goodness…

I'm really sorry.

I'll buy you food next time.

That's too bad, but it's fine.

-You should go. -Okay.

You said you grant anything.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

Get there safe!

Jeez. What should I do with that kid?

Hey, Tae-hee!

What the?

I'm so happy to see you here.

Hello to you too, bully.

Don't waste your time here.

Drop off Dong-joo. She says that she's busy.

I'll take care of him. Hurry and go. She's busy.

She's over there! Please take care of her.

How about lunch?

Did you eat lunch?

Yes.

I couldn't eat.

Why are you lying?

I'm serious.

Drop me off here.

-Here? -Hurry.

The person you have reached…

Why isn't she picking up?

Family members should eat first.

Visitors should be here anytime.

Sure.

Her grandson's not picking up. I hear she cared for him the most.

Dong-joo.

Yes. Oh, they're here?

Who?

Oh…

Hey.

Choose one.

Either eat that jjajangmyeon.

Or answer your phone.

Goodness. You're driving me nuts!

It's been ringing non-stop.

Jeez.

Do you think I'm your secretary who answers your phone?

Goodness. A little kid bossing me around.

-Hello-- -You idiot!

-Where are you? -What the?

This is the police station.

What's wrong with you?

I'm Chang-wan's uncle.

Thank you for bringing him here with you.

Show the officer some respect.

That kid.

I apologize.

That's fine. I was like that at his age too.

I'll get him, so you should stay here.

Hey, kid.

Chang-wan.

That stubborn kid…

Dong-joo.

You must be having a hard time because of him.

No, it's fine.

You're blinded by love.

Dong-joo and I have a strong relationship.

That bully is the cupid for our love.

He's helped us get involved again.

I can see right through you, man.

You can't follow her to work, even if you like her that much.

Girls hate that the most.

How burdensome and uncharming.

You're frustrating. I'm telling you, it's not that.

I really went there to see the bully.

And I figured since I was already there, I might as well meet Dong-joo.

Why do you care about that bully anyway?

Just…

He reminds me of myself.

He has no parents and no friends.

He lived with his grandma for a long time.

Since he moved into his uncle's house after graduating elementary school,

he's been having a hard time.

He should be more thoughtful of his grandma.

He gave her a really hard time.

So frustrating…

Back in my heyday, I was pretty too.

People said I was like a Narcissus.

And a deer too.

Men would stand in line to see me.

You saw my funeral portrait, right?

Yes, you were so beautiful.

-Right? -Yes!

You have a good eye.

It's a bit awkward to say this,

but it's the best funeral portrait I've ever seen.

-Is that so? -Yes.

But…

-Can… -Yes?

Can you change my funeral portrait?

What?

I've chosen the one she looked the best in.

And we already put her in a coffin.

We're moving you to the grave tomorrow morning.

Goodness. Can you just change it, please?

Don't you know good skin is all a girl can ever want?

But…

Your freckles are too visible.

This is more than enough.

We've already photoshopped it once.

My eyes are uneven…

She has aged beautifully.

My face looks unbalanced…

You're funny.

Sir.

I apologize. She's still new.

She made a mistake. I'm sorry.

I was just wondering.

Wondering if it was possible…

What do you mean?

Change it.

Please change my grandmother's portrait.

Please change it.

I beg you.

Just this one time.

Goodness.

I've worked as a director for 20 years. It's the first time changing the portrait.

I'm sorry.

I'll take the bus and come back quickly.

You can't take a bus there.

Gapyeong is basically in the countryside.

Then I'll take a taxi.

I've called A Dime A Job.

So go with them.

What?

The boss is coming.

I see.

Send the picture as soon as you find it.

I'll change the funeral portrait right away.

Yes, sir.

I'll get going.

Okay.

A DIME A JOB

I thought the boss was coming.

Well,

our boss has a hard time driving at night.

I see.

Dongnam rest area 600 meters ahead.

Should we stop by the rest area?

No, that's fine.

Aren't you hungry?

I haven't had lunch today.

You did.

What?

I saw it.

-Saw what? -You eating lunch.

I saw it.

With that friend.

I was working.

I didn't eat.

I see.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

But I didn't lie to you.

I'm serious.

Wait, there's one thing.

Earlier,

when I said our boss has a hard time driving at night,

I lied.

I said that I'd go.

I wanted to.

Why?

You don't need to know.

Is it because of me or something?

It's not that.

Wait.

There's a house.

I think that's it.

Should we go?

Sure.

Whoa.

What are you doing?

Give this to Chang-wan.

REQUEST TO BRING DORAGEE CIGARETTES

Doragee?

Where are the cigarettes?

No.

It's for my grandma.

You're using your grandma, seriously?

I'm not lying. Why would I smoke that?

I want to give it to my grandma. It's urgent.

-Kids these days… -I don't have time.

I think she's going to pass away soon.

My baby. He's probably going to blame himself.

He's going to feel bad.

You smell like cigarettes.

Let's take the picture.

Please look here.

Please be happy.

My precious baby.

I'm sure she'll like it.

I think Chang-wan will like it too.

Look ahead. The road is dark too.

Don't worry. This is my job.

I'm good at driving.

Jeez, seriously.

Wait. I think we're stuck.

-I think you should go this way. -Let me back up first.

Do something.

Oh my God!

Are you okay?

Yes!

Are you hurt? Are you really okay?

Do you think I'd be fine?

Goodness. Do something!

Jeez. This is driving me crazy.

Hold on.

Please!

I'm sorry, hold on.

Wait, I can't do anything.

It was too dark…

We're at…

-I don't think he could see anything. -It's north of Daeryeongrin, Gapyeong-ri.

Below the Soduk mountains? Jeez. We can't go there now.

-You really can't see anything here. -I thought so.

But we have to go back to Seoul immediately. Isn't there a way?

I'll pay you a bit more.

Even if you give me double, or even quadruple, it'd still be hard.

I'm sorry, sir. I think it'll take a while.

Okay. Please come as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

-Yes, sir. I'll call you. -Okay.

Goodness.

What should we do?

We're in trouble.

What's wrong?

-Are you hurt? -No, I'm fine.

-What should we do? -Seriously, what should we do?

Even if it's uncomfortable, you two should stay at my mother's place.

And come back tomorrow.

-I've made it clear. -Okay.

I'm so sorry.

And thank you.

What'd he say? Is he okay with it?

Yes, he said not to worry and to rest.

Does it hurt a lot?

I'm fine.

You're braver than I thought.

I thought you'd be more scared.

What's wrong?

Why? Does it hurt? Where?

Why do you drive like that?

I told you it's dark here, but you don't listen to me.

I was surprised!

I'm scared too!

Is that right?

I'm sorry. Lighten up.

-Okay? -Whatever.

Let's hurry and go.

How can I go fast?

I'm hurt.

But…

how are we leaving tomorrow?

Do you think I'd make you walk?

Don't worry, okay?

I'll carry you on my back if I have to.

-You're joking again. -"Joking"?

Why would I joke around with you at this age?

Put some more strength in your arms.

I'm getting tired.

I'm putting all my strength.

-You are? -Yes.

-Put more. -I'm heavy, right?

No, not really.

I'm hungry.

I told you we should've eaten jjamppong earlier.

We should've…

Are you okay? Do you need help?

No, it's fine. I can do it.

It's no big deal.

Yes, it is.

I'm used to it. It doesn't even hurt.

Well, this is why I quit.

Table tennis.

It must've hurt a lot.

It's all over anyway.

It's done.

You still have to take it easy.

The nerves around the injury are weakened, so you can get hurt again.

-So for two weeks, rest-- -Rest.

-And ice-- -Ice the area.

What the? You talk exactly like my doctor.

Are you a doctor or what?

What's wrong?

Right, the classmate of yours…

You're really a doctor?

A long time ago

I was for a bit.

I'm not anymore.

You don't have to tell me.

But were you a quack?

You were getting a fever earlier.

You didn't even know that you're sick.

I bought it because you looked ill.

I was supposed to give it to you yesterday.

Thank you.

Drink it.

I'm glad I came today.

I doubt it, especially with your driving skills.

Hurry and take them.

Okay.

Here.

You should sleep now.

-Here? -Yes.

You should stay here. I'll sleep outside.

Goodness. Just sleep here, okay?

Just get some sleep so you can drive tomorrow.

-I can't. -Jeez. I'm not the one driving.

Just sleep, okay?

Don't wake up.

Jeez.

Here.

Sleep tight.

I'll get going.

Sleep.

There's a clinic at the retirement home…

What is it?

CHUNG-HA

Hello?

Vincent.

It's me, Chung-ha.

-How've you been? -Chung-ha.

I've been good.

How about you?

Same for me.

Vincent.

Are you working these days?

Yes, well,

I've started an errand-running company, with Tae-hee.

Tae-hee…

Is he doing okay?

Yes, of course.

He's busy with work. He's on a business trip right now.

Business trip?

Yes.

I see.

Alone?

No, well,

he's not alone.

I was supposed to go, but he insisted.

I should've just went.

Want me to tell Tae-hee?

No, not at all.

It's fine.

Okay, then.

Why aren't you asking?

Sleep.

Everyone else asks.

I'm like that too.

Everyone

asks me too.

They ask why I quit ping-pong.

I've been playing ping-pong since I was ten years old.

I played ping-pong while everyone was studying,

while they went on school field trips…

I've played ping-pong my whole life.

Why would I quit?

Do you think it was because something good happened?

Everyone has their reasons.

That's why you don't have to tell me.

I'm not going to.

Even if I don't say anything…

What if I tell a girl who understands everything,

and makes me want to depend on her?

What happens if I want to lean on her?

Then what am I to do?

What the?

Where is he?

Goodness.

Where is he?

Where did he go?

Did you sleep well?

How do you feel?

I'm good, thanks to you.

-How's your leg? -I'm good, thanks to you.

When did you wake up and fix the car?

I need to hurry

before you start nagging me.

I just got promoted, so I might get in trouble if I get any complaints.

Jeez. What do you take me for?

I told you I'd carry you on my back if I had to and not to worry.

Just don't get sick.

Your body aches if your heart is aching.

You can lean on me when you're having a hard time.

You're doing it again. Look ahead. We're going to get into another accident.

Right, okay.

Goodbye, Grandma.

It's sweet even without eating.

What?

-Why? -Well…

She's gonna talk nonsense about her prince or whatever.

Why's that nonsense?

Can't a girl love a man?

I wonder who he is. Poor guy.

Hey, friend.

That's harsh.

Why do you pity him?

I'm going to make him the happiest man alive.

No.

I'll kill.

Yes, go kill. Now.

You

really make me crazy.

I'm the one not wanted.

If you're curious about a man's first love,

we need to cover it up.

I don't know who it is,

but you must really love him.

Let's meet often. You don't need to worry about me.

In that case, thank you.
