03: False Hope
류선화
Who are you...?
여정현
Please save me... I'm being chased by the Japanese army...
The man whose name I don't know speaks as if he is in a hurry.
류선화
.....Well then, let's go into my room quickly...
She is flustered but acts calmly.
여정현
...
여정현
Thank you, I will repay this favor someday.
류선화
No, you don't have to pay it back. If a Korean wants to protect Korea, who can stop him?
The woman speaks in a matter-of-fact tone.
류선화
Be careful, and hold out until Joseon is liberated...
여정현
(Smiling) Okay, I'll go now.
He opens the door and tries to go out.
Squeak
김태형
.....
김태형
Ahhh!!! Surprise!...!
Scream loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear
김태형
Who...who are you...?
류선화
(Oh, I'm screwed...)
The woman bites her lips tightly.
여정현
hello ...
김태형
Who are you and why are you in my house?
류선화
I sent it in because the circumstances were dire and I had no choice...
김태형
....
He opened his mouth, having somewhat grasped the situation.
김태형
There should be no rumor that you came here (approaching him)
여정현
Of course...
김태형
Go quickly, there's no one outside.
류선화
.....Please take good care of your mouth...
여정현
yes
He left and we were left alone.
류선화
.....
김태형
Are you crazy? If we end up becoming the ringleaders, both your family and mine will be finished.
류선화
Is it not possible for a Korean to help another Korean?
김태형
No, at least if you were born in this era.
류선화
..as expected, he's a cowardly and stupid man
After saying a word, he goes out.
류선화
ha..
A woman writes on the floor with a stick.
류선화
Now, it's someone else's land... Will spring come to the stolen fields?
Recite poetry while mumbling
김태형
I soak up the sunlight, where the blue sky and green fields meet, and walk along the karma-like paths of the rice paddies, as if in a dream.
김태형
Does spring come to the stolen fields of idealism?
류선화
…,
He nods as if he doesn't like it.
김태형
You are full of resistance to the Japanese.
류선화
But how do you know that?
김태형
..,,We shouldn't have secrets from each other
류선화
Even though I know you, I don't know what kind of person you are.
김태형
If you try to find out, it won't be that good.
류선화
Still, I need to know what kind of idiot you are.
김태형
You idiot… isn’t that you?
류선화
What?
김태형
Why are you so foolish as to sacrifice your life for Joseon's independence?
류선화
My life is not meant to be wasted
김태형
Isn't that a bit too much? Isn't it what everyone wants to be born into a wealthy family and live a life of luxury?
류선화
No, I'm not
류선화
Let me ask you again, how do you know this poem?
김태형
Do you want to know?
류선화
(Nod)
김태형
I too once believed in that vain hope
