LOVE PHOBIA

Directed by KANG Ji-eun
Singing in the field of reeds...
You sad little cuckoo bird...
Sad little birdie...
My pure, strawberry love...
You're doing it wrong.
Sing it like this. My pure, strawberry love...
What's a pure love?
It's a love that's pure.
What does that mean?
A pure love?
Well...
It's when you love
one person for
the rest of your life.
And why is that like strawberries?
Just sing the darn song.
My pure, strawberry love...
If you deny my love... What will I do?
I will miss you so...
It will break my heart...
I can still remember.
It was a lovely autumn day.
She was in a yellow raincoat.
Every time I see that color,
I'm reminded of her.
Her name was...
My name is Ari. Lee Ari.
Just think of the phrase, Ari Ari Dong Dong.
Do you have any questions?
Why are you so quiet? Aren't you glad to see me?
Who's the class president?
You. Ask me a question.
Why are you wearing a raincoat? It's not even raining.
It's to prevent my curse
from spreading.
But I'm okay.
Priest Seojung and
the owls keep me company.
Be careful not to touch me.
The curse might spread.
What'll happen if it does?
There was one boy who broke his arm
when he fell off his bike.
Priest Seojung fell off
a cliff after he touched me,
and the neighbor's dog
got eaten by his owner.
It began when I was born.
The first thing I saw was
the talking light.
This is what it said.
You're a princess from
the planet of Epsilon.
But you've been brought
here because of your curse.
Everyone you touch will be cursed.
I'll come back for you after the curse is lifted.
Don't let anyone touch you!
My dad did all he could to get rid of this curse.
He climbed mountains...
crossed rivers...
and traveled the seas.
He visited all the famous shamans in the country.
But not even my dad...
could escape the curse.
My darling! You're here.
My sweetheart...
Grandma!
I told you not to let them touch you!
But it wasn't my fault...
Wretched girl!
Ari!
What are you up to?
Go back to cleaning the room!
Aren't you scared of me?
A little.
Why aren't you running away?
Because you're my seatmate.
Want to say hello to a friend?
Ari! Jo-kang! Didn't you hear me?
Stand up!
Do you know why people are afraid of lizards?
No.
Want to know why?
You swear you won't tell anyone?
Follow me.
A long, long time ago, lizards once ruled the Earth.
That's why humans fear them.
They think the lizards will take over the Earth again.
Even our teacher?
Of course.
What's his name?
Tirukaka Kurukuru Kantapia Saurus.
Is that too long?
Longer names live longer in people's memories.
The Turtle Crane Scholar
the Chichi Woolly Frida Kang
Methuselah Cloudy Hurricane Wall Cat Dog Dolly!
That's a name, too.
I told you not to bring it!
But lizards don't make noises,
and they don't eat a lot.
He needs to receive an education, too.
Throw it out. Now!
Strawberries look disgusting, too.
Up close, they have little hairs
and yellow seeds stuck all over.
But people like them anyway.
Think you're so smart?
I'm worried about our teacher.
She shouldn't have touched me.
But my dad says curses can't be passed along.
Well, I can't force you to believe me.
What are you two doing here?
We're just talking.
Just talking.
Run along to your homes.
You're too young to be dating.
Wait!
What is it?
Be careful today.
Give me a break.
See?
News of Ari spread quickly.
Even the sixth graders hid whenever they saw her.
Everyone was scared of her. Everyone, except me.
Freeze!
Unfreeze!
This is the line. Don't come any farther.
Singing in the field of reeds...
You sad little cuckoo bird...
Sad little birdie...
What's wrong?
It's gone.
What is?
Tirukaka.
There he is!
Got ya!
Leave him. Let's just go.
When we touched, { felt the tiniest spark.
What was that feeling?
The next day, I got the measles.
Deok-go said he saw Ari crying in the classroom.
After that, she never came back to school.
Are you done packing? Where are you going?
What are you looking for?
Hey! Where are you off to?
Don't you play in the mud again! You hear me?
The next day, our family moved.
This feels great.
Your mother wants you to get into
college before you go.
But I'm going there to study.
It's never a good idea to be
in one room with a girl.
Stop it. She's just a friend.
The minute you start to sprout pubic hair,
you can't be just friends
with a girl anymore.
She won't be that attractive.
Did I marry your mother for her looks?
That is, my feelings got the better of me, and...
And next thing I know, she got pregnant and...
With me?
Were you two keeping in touch?
No. She just called me out of nowhere.
It's been 10 whole years. Isn't that strange?
That's what I think of it.
Did you just fart?
I knew we should have agreed to meet at the station...
I knew we should have agreed to meet at the bus stop...
Does he know what time it is?
Why isn't she coming?
A..Ari Ari Dong Dong~
Ari Ari Dong Dong!
Thank you!
Wait! Wait!
Are you Ari?
Ari my ass!
Sorry.
You said you'd be here by 1!
Do you know what time it is?
You said you'll come out to the train station.
When did I ever say that?
I've got better things to do!
That's not what I meant...
I couldn't catch a ride, so...
What? There are plenty of...
A bath! I was taking a bath.
There aren't any baths in temples.
You think we have no baths? Do I look like a savage?
How else will I wash myself? Do you think I'm filthy?
You know what?
What?
You've gotten prettier.
Just a little.
I can't believe you thought we lived without baths!
Are you still mad at me?
I wasn't going to say this, but...
But what?
Forget it.
What is it?
We have hot springs at the temple.
What?
Don't tell this to anyone.
The price of land will skyrocket.
You have hot springs there?
Can you keep a secret?
Daebong Mountain is actually a dormant volcano.
What?
A dormant volcano! With lava!
But they're keeping it a secret, so the tourists won't come.
Yeah, right.
You've gotten a lot more cynical while living in Seoul.
Recently, lava shot out from the mountain,
and the soldiers had to keep the lava from spreading.
Soldiers can't do that!
Who says they can't?
Well... It's just...
Mister!
If a volcano erupts here, will you stop up the lava?
Lava?
Can you stop it or not?
Yeah. I guess we can.
Sir? How can we
- stop lava from spreading? - See?
Mister? Are you sure a...
Let's go!
We can use our shovels.
- What a bunch of freaks. - You think shovels can stop it?
The owner still remembers me.
Don't kids in Seoul take tutoring lessons?
Yeah, but they're really not my type.
That's what kids with poor grades always say.
My grades are pretty good.
They are?
I only need help with my math.
What about English?
My English is okay.
Do you prefer peeled peas,
or unpeeled, peas?
Partiality to peas
peeled or unpeeled, proves pointless.
Peas, peeled or unpeeled.
Presumably persist being peas.
Perhaps, currently,
I prefer unpeeled peas to peeled peas.
Yeah.
How about you?
Fine, thanks, and you?
That's quite a noise you're making.
I'm sorry, sir.
Is this Measles?
Yes.
You have to get focused now.
Three people from
that room passed the bar exam.
If you work hard enough, you'll get there.
But I'm not planning to take the bar exam.
Did you see it?
No.
You did! You saw them!
Well...
You saw my answers! You were cheating!
Oh...
Why were you looking at them?
I couldn't help it.
Give me your hands.
What for?
So you can be punished!
Are you kidding? Fine.
Are you ready for this?
Give me your best shot.
Oh no. I've hit you too hard.
Did that hurt?
Where's that ointment? I know I put it in here.
Are you okay? I must be really strong.
Okay. Go!
Hey!
Dummy.
Look at me!
Wait! Where are the hot springs?
Here it comes!
Ow!
This looks great.
Want to play a game?
What game?
Talking in sentences of 3 words. The loser will do the dishes.
This tastes great.
I know that.
Nice breasts, Ari.
Do the dishes.
Why? Nice breasts, Ari! That was three words!
Damn it!
Ha.
Look! Is that a ghost?
Want me to hug you?
Or should we hold hands?
I think there are ghosts here!
Actually, a lot of U.S.
soldiers died here during the war.
Look. These are all graves.
There can't be ghosts in here.
Fine. Don't believe me.
Ari?
Ari! Wait up!
Ari?
Did I scare you?
Do you know how my English got so good?
I learned it from the ghosts.
Are they friends of yours?
How do you think I got so fluent?
I don't own any tapes.
How can you learn English
from a ghost? That's nonsense.
It's only normal for American ghosts
to speak in English.
So? What did they tell you?
There was one guy who caught two robbers
on Christmas Day.
He was just 8 years old!
Isn't that something?
He told you that?
Yup.
In English?
Of course.
Yeah, right.
Sometimes, he comes to visit me at night.
What? Why?
Because he's lonely.
So? He can't burst into your room
like that at night!
He sounds like a pervert!
Well, he does come to visit me whenever I'm undressed.
What?
Once, he came when I was bathing
- in the lake. - This is crazy!
You're being so naive.
He's not coming to see you
because he's lonely.
Then why?
Men don't think like that.
So what is it?
He wants to see you naked! That's why!
No wonder ghosts come to you.
Why would you bath in the lake?
You should tell the Priest and get rid of that ghost.
What's his name, anyway?
Macaulay Caulkin. He lives in New York.
Hey! Wait up!
Do you want something to eat?
No.
What are you looking for?
Something good.
What is that?
It's raspberry wine.
Bet you've never tasted this.
Wow!
Cheers!
Be careful! Don't drink it all down!
I feel it coming! It's coming to me!
Ah... That was great.
What do you think you're doing?
You can't use a spoon!
- I feel it. -You do?
Yeah. It's coming to me.
It is?
- It's coming in waves. - In waves?
Oh God. Oh God.
This one looks just like you!
Can you put that on your tongue?
Why on earth would I do that?
It's supposed to be good for men.
In what way?
Gives you more virility.
Really?
I heard it from the descendants of a legendary sexpot.
Don't tell anyone else, or the snails might go extinct.
What did you just do?
Look!
Can I ask you something?
Do you still have that curse?
I do.
You're so weird.
I know I am.
Even if my leg should break after I kiss you, I'd do it.
That's why I can't do it. I'm afraid I'll hurt you.
Are you leaving tomorrow?
Yes, sir.
Did you study enough?
Yes, sir.
You'll be a senior next year. You'll have to study harder.
Let's eat.
What are you doing?
Want to take a picture?
Don't go snooping around my room.
Sorry.
Do you know how to slice apples?
I can try.
Are you allowed to eat meat here?
I don't care much for meat.
But I love sushi.
One time, I dreamt of it. It felt so wonderful.
I'm sick of eating sushi. My dad runs a Japanese restaurant.
You're so luck!
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
I'll probably be married.
- Married? - Yeah.
To whom?
With a handsome banker.
But I don't want to be a banker.
Are you saying you're handsome?
Well... But why a banker?
So we can rob the bank together
and buy a Russian spaceship.
I'm going to use that to get off this planet.
What for?
Because this isn't where I belong.
Ad!
Dad!
These are awful!
Let her eat it as it is!
Wake up!
But this is what you do best!
Save it.
Come on! I need your help!
Take them.
I'll get within the top 5 in my next final exams!
The top 57?
The top 10.
That's good enough. But what if you can't?
Do I need to prove it?
Jo-kang! I know you're here!
I'm not going to eat this unless you come out.
You'd better come out at the count of three! One!
Two!
I just hopped on a cab and brought it back.
Jo-kang.
Are you up for one more bout of measles?
This time, it was the flu.
Influenza is a common disease.
But...
That didn't matter to Ari.
It caused her a lot of pain.
One day, she just disappeared.
She was nowhere to be found.
This bond is tax-exempt.
Why don't you take a brocure?
What are you doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Working.
I should think so.
Thank you.
Again? Why do you like lizards so much?
Aren't they cute?
Are you kidding? They're disgusting.
Do you know why people hate lizards?
Because of their long tongues?
Because they're afraid.
What?
Remember when dinosaurs roamed the Earth?
That's when humans began to get scared.
They're afraid that the dinosaurs will take over
the Earth again.
But this isn't a dinosaur.
They're cousins.
Oh. I see.
By the way, Miran asked me if you're still single.
Oh.
She's got $300,000 in the bank.
I forgot the name...
It's JEONG Mi-ran. Mi-ran.
Tiru... Tirukara? Kurukuru?
Tirutiru? Chickchick?
Chicks?
Chicks? Where? There's nobody there!
Don't spend your own money
to make the numbers add up.
Tell them you don't know
where the money went.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Isn't she hot?
Let's try to get her number!
Rock, paper, scissors!
Why do you look so depressed?
How am I going to find her?
Who? Ari?
What did the detective say?
He said Korea is a big country.
Really? Why don't you
hire a better private detective?
I've been doing that for 5 years.
Then ask the Priest!
He won't tell me.
That's because you look soft.
Be more aggressive!
Go in there and tear the place apart!
I can't do that to a priest.
Then there's your answer. Give it up.
Do you think I'm weird?
Of course. It's been 8 years!
Stop bothering her!
I've never bothered her!
You're being a stalker.
I bet that woman is...
Her name's Ari.
Fine. I bet Ari's scared of you.
That's why she's running away.
That's right. Forget her. I'm sick of you doing this.
I'm sick of me, too. Let's talk about something else.
I won't mention Ari anymore.
Okay. Good.
I've got great news.
I hear a new female employee is coming to our office!
Is she pretty?
You bet she is! Like an angel!
Prettier than Ari?
How can I help you?
Do you get off work soon? I'll be waiting over there.
- Hello. - Hello, sir.
I came to seek a loan.
I see.
The government is
offering a loan with a great deal.
The annual interest is just 5.2%...
It's very stable, and...
You can get up to $15,000,
I mean, $150,000.
But your salary must be...
Will you excuse me?
What are you doing?
It'll only be for 1 hour.
Is your work any fun?
No work is fun.
Why did you become a teller? That's such a boring job.
Are you kidding me?
What's wrong?
What is it?
The spaceship!
What spaceship?
You said you'd rob a bank to buy one.
What?
If you want a lot of money,
you should rob our main office.
But I can't help you there. Sorry.
How can you think of robbing a bank? Are you nuts?
Yeah. I am.
Jo-kang?
Just kidding!
Where did you go to school?
I was kidnapped.
What?
Can you keep a secret?
Some people from NASA came.
Do you know of NASA?
Why did they come to you?
Because UFOs appear everywhere I go.
They think I'm an alien.
You don't believe me.
Do I have to?
I guess not.
Is that all you could come up with? Aliens?
What's wrong with that?
Couldn't you think of something better?
Who'd believe you if you say E.T.'s your cousin?
You've changed. You used to believe me.
That's because I've grown up.
I'm not the kid who used
to blow kisses to Tirukakak Kurukur Kantapia Saurus anymore.
You remember his name!
Jo-kang?
I'm hungry.
This looks great!
We could have gone to a better place.
Wow!
They look so good!
How can I possibly eat them?
Why not?
I can't destroy a work of art!
Here. Have a drink.
Mr. CHA, I'd like to get hammered tonight.
Alcohol should be taken
in moderation, but it's always better to drink lots of it!
Can we have some privacy?
You stay out of this.
It melts in my mouth!
He doesn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom.
Yes, I do.
I do. I really do.
He says he does.
Okay...
By Lake Soyang...
When the sun sets...
Singing in the field of reeds...
You sad little cuckoo bird...
Sad little birdie... My pure, strawberry...
Then what happened?
Then they kidnapped me!
How awful!
They said I have to go to NASA.
NASA? What the heck is that?
The place that makes spaceships.
Oh! That NASA.
It seems my magnetic field is
attracting UFOs.
How do they know that?
Because UFOs appear everywhere I go.
That's how my identity was revealed.
What identity?
I'm an alien, of course.
Oh! Of course...
Those jerks wanted to use me to get UFOs.
Why'd they kidnap a pretty girl you look?
They wanted to steal the aliens' super technology!
Those bastards!
Let's pick up here after I come back from the bathroom.
Sure.
Did you get to ride on a spaceship?
I had to. Buses don't travel through outer space.
What should we do tomorrow?
If a spaceship does come, will you send me off?
How will you get a spaceship to come here?
Will you?
Since when did you need my permission?
Promise me you'll say goodbye with a smile.
Let's go to the movies tomorrow.
And go to a great restaurant.
Let's have a real date.
I'm going to the States tomorrow.
Don't go.
Please. Don't go.
If you were going to leave, why did you come back?
Please don't go.
You're just like a little kid.
You don't look well.
I didn't get any sleep.
This is the line. Don't come any farther.
Stop.
Don't you dare cross it.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Please come again.
Hello?
Jun-cheol?
Aren't you coming to visit me?
I got into an accident!
My whole body's a mess.
My legs and neck are killing me.
Can you come visit?
I'll be there tomorrow.
Can you pick up some
peaches on the way over? Thanks.
Excuse me? Nurse!
I thought I was going to die.
And then, the car crashed into mine from the back!
It was a real mess.
Wanna hear a funny story?
This is pretty cute.
Yeah, it is.
Want to hear something?
Go ahead.
I heard it does you good
to put a snail on your tongue.
What?
It increases your virility!
Doctor? Is that true?
Why are you talking nonsense?
Don't you mean eggs?
Isn't that Ari?
Ari?
It certainly looks like her.
Excuse us!
Ari?
Ms. KIM Eun-jeong! Come with me.
It wasn't her?
KIM Eun-jeong?
I guess it's not her.
He knows I'm here.
That's not good.
I want to leave.
And go where?
That place you told me about.
You do realize, once you get in, it's hard to come out.
I don't care.
But...
You owe me a favor.
What?
You said it's just a cold. Why couldn't you cure it?
Don't say that.
You'll be very bored here without me.
You won't find a doctor as good as me, though.
I t must have been
someone else.
Besides, all women look the same from the back.
See?
Look at that one!
One time, I was...
I have to go.
All right. Don't forget to bring the peaches next time.
My doctor told me
about a better place. It's free.
How's the exhibition coming along?
My friends are helping me. But you're not invited.
Why not?
I don't like the pictures.
How do I look from the back?
Can you tell it's me?
Thanks.
Look over there!
How've you been?
Why are there no customers?
Business has been slow ever since you left.
I told you this is a bad location.
We should have listened to you.
Where have you been?
Around.
Why did you disappear like that?
Yeah. You always do that.
That way, you're more happy to see me.
You're so strange.
I can never understand you.
You're having a photo exhibition?
Wow! Congratulations!
- When is the exhibition? - You must be so happy!
Where is this going to be?
It hurt a little.
You must be full of worries.
What do you mean?
You're just so handsome. Do women leave you alone?
Well, actually...
Ha! That's a laugh.
Tell me if you're feeling sick or nauseous.
I'm not going to tell you.
Why not?
You refused to let me
go to my own exhibition!
You know we have rules here.
Doctor, please...
There's nothing I can do.
You're going to die anyway.
Just make a run for it.
I'll talk to the director about it.
Thank you, Doctor.
When you're feeling blue...
Just sing a song...
What's that you're looking at?
Um...
I know you're feeling bad about what you said.
Come here.
What do you think?
Is he your boyfriend?
He believes everything I say.
He even believed me
when I said there are ghostsin my village.
He must be really stupid.
He is. He's stupid for waiting for me.
Does he know you're here?
Invite him over sometime.
And tell him to bring a friend.
I'd like to meet him. Don't you miss him?
Eun-jeong...
How many times do
I have to tell you to bring peaches?
I didn't sleep a wink.
I thought about peaches all night.
Let me.
This is cold! Isn't there anything hot?
I'm supposed to be a patient.
Caffeine can't be good for me.
I should be having peaches.
- Let me help you. - They're healthy.
B I
What would you like?
Coffee.
You're too young for coffee. Have the orange juice.
Here. Take it.
Where did you get this? Huh?
Did someone give this to you?
Tell me!
A lady...
Who? Was it Ari?
No...
Then who?
Eun-jeong gave it to me.
Don't make the kid cry.
Hey! Where are you going?
It's okay, kid. Ow!
Tell me what's going on.
I need to know!
Please!
My darling...
Dad!
Your mom and dad...
I know what happened, Uncle.
It's all my fault.
You're sorry? You're sorry!
We feel awful...
It's from the blood transfusion?
And you call yourselves doctors?
Can I help you, little lady?
Sir? What is AIDS?
What?
AIDS.
AIDS is like the aliens' cold.
If you eat well and study hard,
the aliens will come to give you their medicine.
High Mortality Rate the aliens will come to give you their medicine.
No Known Cure Highly Contagious
And soon, you'll get all better.
Where are we going, Uncle?
Home.
But it's dark out.
We have to go. This place is bad.
I'm going to give you a new name.
Is this our house?
That's right.
Do I have to become a priest?
Do you want to?
No. I want to be a photographer. Just like daddy.
I see.
Why did you become a priest, Uncle?
You shouldn't call me Uncle anymore.
Why not?
Just do as I say.
Okay, Uncle.
Okay, Priest...
Let's go inside.
You shouldn't touch me, Priest.
My body is full of bad germs.
Thank you.
Priest?
Do you like that woman?
More than you, Eun-jeong.
What is it you like about her?
She's pretty.
Prettier than me?
She's more my type.
And what type is that?
What type?
The Ari type.
You two look good together.
You're in trouble.
Why?
I poured Super Glue all over my arm.
We're stuck now.
We have to go to the bathroom
together like this.
Good. I've always wanted to go to the men's room.
They must have Super Glue on them, too.
If an MP sees them, that guy will go to jail.
Why?
He's broken the rules.
He'll be sent for 15 days.
For walking arm-in-arm?
The enemy is watching him.
What enemy?
North Korean spies! They'll send his pictures
to the North.
They'll take us for fools when
they see guys like him.
That's ridiculous.
It's a psychological war.
I had a friend who got sent to
jail for 30 days.
You said it was 15.
He had a girl on each arm.
That's nonsense.
I was jealous of him.
Give me a piggyback ride.
Till where?
My house.
One day, a farmer woke up
to find strange shapes in his garden.
They weren't been
man-made.
Some people called it a sign,
and others thought it a prank.
They are called mystery circles.
I think
they are signs left by aliens.
Praying and hoping for a spaceship...
The owner of this cafe saw
a UFO 4 years ago.
But nobody believed him,
so he built a cafe here.
Really? That's pretty cool.
If it does come, will you send me off?
No. I'm coming with you.
You can't come with me, dummy.
Then I'll ask them to help you,
so you can stay here.
That way, we can get married.
We'll be very happy.
And we'll be forever indebted to their
good nature.
Just let me go with a smile.
No.
Please?
No way.
Even if I die?
This Super Glue must be really strong.
This feels nice...
I'm going to take a nap.
Watch your feet!
Ari!
Come inside, Jo-kang.
I feel more comfortable here.
I'm sorry...
Ari would prefer it this way.
So we can rob the bank together and
buy a Russian spaceship.
I'm going to use that to get off this planet.
What for?
Because this isn't where I belong.
They are called mystery circles.
I think
they are signs left by aliens.
Praying and hoping for a spaceship...
It's not a lenticular cloud. That's for sure.
How did you take this?
This is the picture taken by
a news photographer.
Their speed, their shape...
They're one and the same.
Are you saying it's a UFO?
They look like carbon copies.
People would think it's fake.
Shouldn't we go visit Eun-jeong?
If I make one of these,
will a spaceship come?
They left you these pictures...
Eun-jeong...
Byeon-ja...
Yeah?
I have a favor to ask you.
All right. Thank you.
Look!
That's all?
Do you know how hard it was to find these?
Jo-kang? Aren't you coming to pick me up?
I don't like flowers with thorns.
Jo-kang?
Thank you.
You cannot pass!
Please let her go.
Byeon-ja! You know our rules!
No! Stop!
Wait! Dr. KANG!
Are we going to stay here?
You'll get sick if you leave.
But you called for a spaceship.
What if it really comes?
But Ari, that's just...
If you don't believe in it, why did you make one?
I want to see it.
Eun-jeong! Eun-jeong!
Eun-jeong!
You two make a pretty pair.
What happened back there?
Are you fugitives?
What's your destination?
Outer space.
That's quite far from here.
I used to be fascinated with
outer space as a kid.
I'm certain there are aliens out there.
Ever hear about dark circles?
It appeared on a farm once.
Aliens do exist. I'm sure of it.
Jo-kang?
Will you send me off?
I have to.
With a smile?
With a smile.
Don't forget. You're the first human to have dated an alien.
You should be proud of yourself.
But you look like a human being.
Would you rather I look like E.T.?
No.
What's wrong with ET.? He's a cute little fellow!
Am I too heavy?
Don't talk to me.
I don't think the spaceship can handle your weight.
What?
I was kidding.
You're light as a feather.
Your back is nice and wide. Jo-kang?
Yeah?
CHA Jo-kang.
What is it?
I love you...
What?
I didn't say anything.
Yes, you did.
Was it something about me?
I said you're handsome.
That's nothing new.
I was only kidding.
Jo-kang! Where are you?
Are you cold?
No... It was really cold back then...
The day you were looking for my lizard in the mud...
It was really cold back then...
Is this a little better?
Don't you know heat travels from high to low places?
My heat is being
transferred to you.
Am I warm?
You are. You're like a stove.
You were really warm, too,
when we were under my raincoat...
It felt really nice...
I'm returning the warmth you've given me.
I'm getting sleepy, Jo-kang.
The ship will be here soon.
You have to stay strong.
Look! I see one coming!
Come on, Ari.
You're supposed to be an alien. Come on.
I see it coming now.
It'll be here in a minute.
Why isn't it coming?
Can't they see the sign?
I can't believe you believed me.
Ari?
Ari!
Ari? Remember this?
The Turtle Crane...
Scholar Chichi Woolly...
What's after that?
Frida Kang...
Methuselah Cloudy...
Hurricane Wall...
Cat Dog Dolly!
I love you... Ari...
I'm sorry...
I love you...
I'm sorry...
I love you...
I'm so sorry...
What should I do with you, Jo-kang...?
- Ari! - Don't!
This is the line. Don't come any farther.
I'm not going to listen to you this time!
If you turn around, you might go blind.
Jo-kang, please...
If I leave,
don't wait for me to come back.
I won't.
You get sick when you're here.
I have to go.
Goodbye...
Ari!
Don't look back!
If you look at me,
I won't be able to leave...
Jo-kang...
Don't worry, Priest. I've got a plan.
This will protect the other kids from me.
What's that?
Isn't it scary?
This will scare the teachers. They won't come near me.
Ari, Jo-kang
Ari, with her yellow raincoat and white lies...
And me, who believed every word she ever said...
What little time we had has
now become memories...
Mrs. CHA! I'm here!
- Oh! How are you, Jun-cheol? - I see business is going great.
People might not believe it, but she was from outer space.
And she's gone back to her hometown.
Two Ari Specials!
Whenever I'm feeling particularly blue...
1 look at the empty table reserved for her.
When I do, I am reminded of her pretty smile.
Love is remembrance.
Even though she is gone,
my heart still remembers her.
Sometimes, I open up my chest of memories,
hoping to keep them locked in my heart forever.
I can feel it.
I feel the rush of emotions
1 felt when I first saw her...
Ari must have sent me a sign.
I have to send one back.
