If pain has a forecast
11
For a while, the artist stopped coming to the museum, so I didn't get to see him. I thought it would be okay if I didn't see him, but after seeing him for so long, I started to get a little nervous.
김태형 큐레이터
Curator Yoon.
윤여주
huh?
김태형 큐레이터
Are you okay?
윤여주
Why? I'm fine.
김태형 큐레이터
You don't look like that at all.
윤여주
No. Don't worry about me and just do your work.
In fact, while preparing for this artist's exhibition, I've become quite different from my previous self. I used to be brimming with passion, but now I'm feeling drained and slumped, and even I can't get used to it.
윤여주
Why should I suffer because of the writer? I'm not suffering at all.
Instead, I denied the hardship. I denied it, not accepted it. In short, I pretended to be okay so I could feel a little better.
The more I thought about the author, the more my head started to pound, so I worked harder and harder to forget. I didn't even eat. I just kept working like a madman, pulling together everything I didn't need to do.
김태형 큐레이터
Curator Yoon, can I buy you something? I'm going to collapse at this rate.
윤여주
No. I'm not hungry. I'm busy, so can you please go?
김태형 큐레이터
Why are you like that, all of a sudden!
윤여주
Curator Kim, aren't you going home from work? You hate coming home late, so why aren't you going?
김태형 큐레이터
I won't go until the curator wakes up.
윤여주
No, why? You knew when I was going to go.
김태형 큐레이터
Well, if you say you're going to stay here all night, I'll just stay here.
윤여주
No, why are you asking that?
김태형 큐레이터
Why are you acting like that, curator? You're going to collapse.
윤여주
Don't worry, I won't fall. Just go quickly.
김태형 큐레이터
I told you I wasn't going.
윤여주
Okay! Just go. If you're really stubborn.
김태형 큐레이터
The curator is no pushover either. Today, please take my car. It's not optional, it's mandatory.
윤여주
Seriously, why are you doing that?
김태형 큐레이터
If not, then...
윤여주
Okay! Okay, I get it. Stop it.
김태형 큐레이터
Yes! Please come slowly.
"Aren't you going to send me home? Or are you going to take me back?" Curator Kim kept nagging, so I just pretended to give in and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to lose."
김태형 큐레이터
I thought it would just go away, but luckily it didn't.
윤여주
You're going to call me and ask me where I went, where I was, why I left first, right?
김태형 큐레이터
Right lol
김태형 큐레이터
But... why did you do that?
윤여주
what?
김태형 큐레이터
Why did you suddenly start working like a crazy person without even eating?
윤여주
It's just... I have so many random thoughts. If I don't do that, it'll be harder for me.
김태형 큐레이터
But please eat some rice. Is there anything to eat at home?
윤여주
Yes, yes, stop worrying.
김태형 큐레이터
By the way, can I ask you one thing...?
윤여주
Don't talk about the author.
김태형 큐레이터
yes···?!
윤여주
I was going to do it. Don't do it. I don't want to think about it anymore.
김태형 큐레이터
Have you given up?
윤여주
Even if I want to give up, it's not easy... I just try not to think about it for a bit. If I do that, won't my heart gradually disappear?
김태형 큐레이터
Um... I won't get involved. Well... it's up to the curator. But there's no guarantee that giving up will make things better, so don't just give up.
윤여주
Is there an answer other than giving up?
김태형 큐레이터
We have to give it a try. We've come this far.
윤여주
Yeah, thanks for bringing me.
김태형 큐레이터
Can I come up for a bit?
윤여주
Huh? Why you?
김태형 큐레이터
I'll just make sure you get home safely. What if you collapse on the way?
윤여주
Hey, really stop it and go.
김태형 큐레이터
It's the curator's fault. So who wants to work until they stumble?
윤여주
Did I stumble? No? Be careful.
I got out of the car right away, and as soon as my feet touched the ground, I stumbled. I felt dizzy for a moment and stopped. Curator Kim must have seen me too, because he came running.
김태형 큐레이터
Are you okay? Just do as I say today. Okay?!
윤여주
Okay, I get it. I'm dizzy. Stop yelling.
김태형 큐레이터
Okay, let's go in.
윤여주
Now that you're all here, you can go. Thanks for taking the time to care.
김태형 큐레이터
Don't push yourself too hard today and go to bed early. I'll go now.
윤여주
Yeah, thank you···,
김태형 큐레이터
Curator!!!
