If pain has a forecast
05
윤여주
yes?!!
김석진
Why are you like that?
윤여주
Do you happen to remember who that person is?
김석진
Ah... no. I don't remember that much. I guess that was a good moment for me. But I do remember that moment a little.
윤여주
Ah... I see. Can I ask what that feeling you had for the first time was?
김석진
Hmm... if you say first love, that could be it. It was full of painful moments, but that person was the one who made me forget those painful moments for a while.
윤여주
······.
Eventually, I found myself thinking about the past, and tears soon began to flow. I was doing everything I had resolved never to do. I quickly wiped away the tears that had been streaming down my cheeks without me realizing it.
김석진
Here's the toilet paper.
윤여주
Ah, thank you... I'm so touched...
The author remembers meeting someone at a traffic light. When I first met him, I only said that he held my umbrella for me on a rainy day. If I told him now, he might remember even a little, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.
김석진
Is that so...?
윤여주
Also, what else would you like to bet on?
김석진
Can the curator pick one for me?
윤여주
Me?
김석진
You have a unique eye for detail. Honestly, I can't tell the difference.
윤여주
Can I tell you the truth about the piece I want to walk?
김석진
Sure. What is it?
윤여주
This is the school series.
김석진
uh···.
윤여주
Those were unpleasant memories for the author at the time, but the scenery at least brought him happiness. Now, let's take this opportunity to reinterpret its meaning.
윤여주
It's not a sad memory, but a happy memory of seeing and drawing the scenery. I think it would be good to publish it as a series...
김석진
The curator is not only good at discerning opinions, but also good at persuading.
윤여주
Did I? I hope I was convincing.
김석진
The series... seems good.
After a lengthy discussion with the artist, the selection of works to be exhibited was finalized. It felt like it was done in a short amount of time, but two hours had already passed.
윤여주
Ah, that exhibition hall that the author liked back then.
김석진
yes yes.
윤여주
We decided to hold it in that exhibition hall.
김석진
Really?
윤여주
I'm already excited to think that your work will be hanging there.
김석진
I'm half excited and half worried.
윤여주
What are you worried about?
김석진
Actually, this is my first exhibition, and I'm worried whether there will be many visitors. I'm worried I might ruin it for nothing.
윤여주
Author, why would you think that? Of course, many people will come, and it won't be a complete failure. Please, don't even think about it.
김석진
I will try my best and work hard.
윤여주
Okay, good. Then, I'll see you again when we film the documentary.
김석진
Please enter carefully.
윤여주
Curator Kim Taehyung?
김태형 큐레이터
Uh... ah... curator.
윤여주
Why is Curator Kim here? How did you know?
김태형 큐레이터
Ah... that's... I came because I was worried about you, Curator.
윤여주
Did you follow me secretly?
김태형 큐레이터
I'm sorry... But I still feel bad about sending you away alone.
윤여주
I appreciate you thinking of me, but don't come here suddenly like this without saying anything.
김태형 큐레이터
yes···.
윤여주
Have you been waiting long?
김태형 큐레이터
yes···?
윤여주
"Did you wait long?" I had a long chat with the author, and you've been waiting here forever? I'm freezing, but aren't you cold?
김태형 큐레이터
It's cold. But I don't know when the curator will come out.
After walking for a while, I came across that traffic light. What the author had said earlier suddenly came to mind.
김석진
‘Hmm... if you say first love, that could be it.’
First love... My senior was my first love back then, so that means I was your first love back then, too. First love... It's such a thrilling word, but to me, first love is just sadness. Sadness, what is it that obscures all the excitement I felt back then?
김태형 큐레이터
Curator?
윤여주
uh?
김태형 큐레이터
You suddenly lost your mind.
윤여주
Ah... no. Let's go.
김태형 큐레이터
But where are you going?
윤여주
Where are you going? You have to go in.
김태형 큐레이터
Did you bring that car?
윤여주
Why are you telling me that now?
김태형 큐레이터
No... I just followed the curator because he kept telling me to go...
윤여주
Then go in.
김태형 큐레이터
Yes? What about the curator?
윤여주
Me? I'm done with my business trip today.
김태형 큐레이터
So what have I been doing until now...?
윤여주
So who's waiting?
김태형 큐레이터
Wow, curator, you're doing too much...
윤여주
It must be cold, so hurry up and go inside. Thanks for your hard work~
Actually, considering how much you've waited for me, I'd love to buy you something, but I was afraid if we stayed together any longer, my feelings would get the better of me, so I hurriedly sent you off. As Friday evening drew to a close, I found myself at a bar I always frequented.
윤여주
Sir, I'm here.
사장님
You came early today? You look tired.
윤여주
Yes... It's a day when I feel like drinking.
사장님
What is going on now?
윤여주
Today, boss, please recommend something. If possible, something a little more expensive. Something that doesn't even come to mind.
사장님
Is something really going on?
I chatted with the owner, who seemed concerned, but then offered me a strong drink. I sipped it, swirled it around in my mouth for a while, and swallowed. I finally felt like I was finally getting some relief. Just then, someone sat down next to me.
B
Hello, sir. Please give me the wine I usually drink.
MEY메이
Thank you for coming to see me today. 💙
