Hey, how about a time trade?

Hey, how about a time trade? 02

It was late at night and the road wasn't busy, but I was barely able to catch a taxi.

택시기사 할아버지

“Where should we go?”

“Please go to Daedonsan.”

택시기사 할아버지

“Oh my, you’re going there at this late hour? No!”

한여주 image

한여주

“Sir, please, just this once.. I have a reason why I have to go there..”

택시기사 할아버지

“Okay, but whatever happens, don’t blame me.”

The taxi that picked me up headed towards Daedonsan Mountain.

Weeeeeing-

한여주

“Wow.. the stars are pretty”

택시기사 할아버지

“Close the window, the cold wind is coming in.”

한여주 image

한여주

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

한여주

“...But when will it arrive?”

택시기사 할아버지

“Almost there”

Squeak-

The taxi arrived at a large mountain on the mountain road.

택시기사 할아버지

“I’ve arrived.”

한여주

“Is this Daedonsan?”

택시기사 할아버지

"That's right. Be careful getting off."

한여주 image

한여주

“The money is here.”

I got out of the car and the taxi that had picked me up disappeared into the distance.

한여주

“This is Daedonsan...”

한여주

“Wait a minute! What time is it?”

I looked at my watch and it was exactly 10 o'clock.

한여주 image

한여주

“The border opens at 10 o’clock..”

한여주 image

한여주

'We have to run quickly...! We have to get into the mountain...'

한여주 image

한여주

"How did I end up in the mountains..."

한여주 image

한여주

“Nothing happens?”

I felt a sense of emptiness at the thought that my grandmother's words might just be a story.

한여주 image

한여주

“Could it be... that was just a true story?”

한여주 image

한여주

'No, let's go a little further in..'

So I started running further into the mountain.

Wheein wheein-

“Uh...uh?”

‘What the... how long have I been here like this?’

한여주

‘Who is this person in front?...’

박지민

“Wake up, how long are you going to be like this?”

한여주 image

한여주

"yes?"

When I came to, there was a strange man in front of me and I was sitting on a bench in a slightly warmer place in the mountains.

박지민 image

박지민

“Do you know that you’ve been snoring and sleeping here ever since I brought you here?”

한여주 image

한여주

“When am I?”

박지민 image

박지민

“Okay, now that you’re up, can I make a suggestion?”

박지민 image

박지민

“Hey, how about a time trade?”

한여주 image

한여주

"yes?"
