Bathroom in 10 minutes,
If they're dumb, they should follow my instructions,
Damn patients bitch and moan, but they never listen,
Do you know how tired I am because of them?
Can't you do better?
Don't feel like doing it?
Not at all,
Keep going,
Where did you go today?
The department store to meet a high school friend,
I canceled on her too many times, so I couldn't decline this time,
I told you not to meet anyone,
I'm sorry, I made a mistake,
For what?
What are you sorry for?
I'm sorry,
Are you thinking about them right now?
You're thinking about them?
I was led here by the scent of perfume on a rainy summer night two years ago,
I noticed the perfume in an empty elevator,
Nine years ago, she had the same perfume on her,
My elder brother died when he was 20,
He got into an accident on his way to pick me up,
After that, my parents stopped saying my name,
It was as if I ceased to exist, not my brother,
I wished I had died instead of my brother countless times,
My father resorted to alcoholism and died of liver cancer,
My mother lives with another man,
I was lonely,
That path of loneliness stretched on endlessly,
The rotting house was a reflection of our family,
Having lost its name, identity, and meaning, it just remained there in ruins,
I was the same,
No will, no resistance,
As time passed, I became a first-year college student,
That was where I met her,
I couldn't see her often,
We went to the same college, but our majors were different,
She was the most radiant person in my life,
It was a lecture for our French elective,
You there,
- Me? - Yes, you,
After the lecture, I worked up the courage to talk to her,
"Thank you for earlier,"
"How about a cup of coffee?"
She smiled and said to me,
"Kim Ji Hoon,"
"It's your treat,"
After my brother's death, my name existed as alphabets,
But when she called my name, its meaning returned,
She became the reason for me to continue living,
It was easy to find her,
I wanted to catch one glimpse of her from afar and walk away,
If I had returned to my meaningless life, everything would've ended then,
But the radiant girl of my memories wasn't there,
No scent of the perfume, either,
[Best Fish Aquarium]
Do you have pirarucu?
No,
Two years ago, I moved here,
And I opened an aquarium,,,
in her neighborhood,
I never had any friends since childhood,
All I focused on was guppy farming,
And these neon guppies helped me reunite with her,
Hello,
Welcome home,
I told you to toss the recyclable trash somewhere out of sight,
I'm sorry, I'll make sure to do so,
Nine years ago,
we drank Mandheling coffee at a café,
I couldn't say a word,
It felt so unreal to see her in front of me,
She asked me over coffee,
"What do you like?" "What's your hobby?"
Um,,,
Guppy,
Neon guppy,,,
I decided to share some guppies with her,
She was happy about it, but I never got to pass them to her,
She suddenly said she couldn't rear them,
I never had a chance to speak with her again,
I'd like to head home for a bit,
My father's not doing so well, he needs to be examined,
You still don't get it?
Pardon?
That's gaslighting, don't you get it?
That's,,,
He's essentially asking you to pay the hospital bills,
But that's,,,
Do you know how many crazies I treated to pay off your family's debt?
But this is my father,
Think carefully,
Don't you get it? You're being lied to,
That's not true!
One day! Just one day!
Yeah?
You still don't get it, huh?
I'll tell you,
I'm with her for 24 hours a day,
I feel everything she feels,
With my entire body,
Dad, can I eat this?
Look, there's this one!
Oh? Do you want to eat this?
Looks delicious, right?
Let's eat them together,
Looks like walnuts,
Let's go!
[Report Card]
Hello,
May I take a look around?
Yes,
Of course,
Excuse me,
What's this fish called?
That's a neon guppy,
I see, neon guppy,
Are these hard to rear?
No,
You just need to regulate the temperature and clean the tank,
How much is the tank and the fish?
About 100,000 won,
Give it a try,
I'll come back next time,
Excuse me,
I'll give it to you for free,,,
What? Why?
I have a tank that's scratched and can't be sold,
If you don't mind, you can have that and try rearing some,
Even so,,,
In exchange,,,
you have to buy fish food from here,
Is that,,, really okay?
Guppies have a lifespan of two to three years,
Even if the condition's perfect, some may die early,
I see,
I'll just install this today,
When the water stabilizes in a week, I'll bring the fish over,
Sudden changes in water quality can kill them,
Okay, thank you,
I'll only buy fish food from your shop,
Sure,
Hello,
They're so pretty,
Seeing her so happy,
I could feel the happiness she once showed me spreading all over my body again,
But why was she startled by the price of 100,000 won
when she lived in a such good house?
I wanted to know,
When I went there to install the tank, I memorized the keypad code she used,
I rigged the entire house with spy cameras and microphones,
I even wiretapped her cell phone,
I started spending 24 hours a day with her and felt everything she felt,
[Be happy!]
What can I do?
Aside from this?
The person who knows you the best is me,
Why? Why did you expect something from me?
I can't be like my brother!
If someone asks if I liked her, I would've said yes,
But if asked whether I wanted to make her mine,
I had no answer to that,
A guy like me doesn't have that right,
I do not,,, know how to make someone happy,
He comes by every day, stares at the fish for a long time, and leaves,
He works at a convenience store nearby and lives on the second floor of an old apartment,
He's a regular at my shop,
He bought three black arowanas, two flower horns, and four sturgeons,
Even full tank sets,
Three 120-centimeter tanks,
Each one weighs 250 kilograms,
Can the old apartment hold such weight?
He said, "It doesn't matter,"
Hello,
I came to look around again,
Sure,
Feel free to browse,
Do you,,,
like coffee?
I just brewed some,
Sure, why not,
It's Mandheling,
It smells great,
Nine years ago, we drank the same coffee,
but she doesn't remember that coffee,
At least I got to give it to her,
The Mandheling,,,
Thank you,
Sorry for just browsing,
It's okay,
Please visit again,

How can I revert to my former self, broken and fragmented?
We may be exploiting one another, seeking retribution onto ourselves,
Like two snakes devouring their own tails, consuming themselves,
Now I realize, it was a foolish choice in youth,
I must escape this nightmare through my will,
Hi, Mom,
It's okay if it's to cover the bill,
Yeah,
Hyung Oh's quite busy,
Mom, I think someone's at the door,
I have to go,
I'm sorry, Mom,
I'm sorry I can't go over,,,

He has a strong sense of desire,
He also gets very jealous, so he tries to control me,
Was he always like this?
It was miserable,
Do you like music?
Sorry about that,
Tried to control me,,,
I was under her control!
Why are you calling at this hour?
They're dead,
Who's dead?
- The black arowanas, - What?
You knew they'd die, didn't you?
How many?
All of them, You knew, didn't you?
When?
Not long ago,
When I woke up, they were all dead,
What about the water temperature?
- They were cooked, - Cooked?
It might be the thermostat,
Bring it to the shop,
Apologize,
- What? - Apologize,
I'm sorry,
I'll find out why, so bring it to the shop,
Forget it, shut up,
Even so,,,
- And you,,, - Yes?
Don't be so smug, As if you're some big shot,
What do I do? What do I say?
I have,,, something to tell you,,,
I have something to say,
My father has been hospitalized, He has lung cancer,
It's,,, terminal cancer,
Lung cancer?
Is that so?
Lung cancer,,,
He smoked like a chimney, What did you expect?
I need to go,
Go? Where?
My parents' home,
Why?
I'm his daughter, it's my duty,
Don't be stupid,
Everyone has to die,
How could you,,,
I'm begging you!
Go next month,
No,
Tomorrow, I'll be there for two days,
I'm tired, I need to sleep,
Can I help you?
This is the police, We have something to ask you,
Yes?
Do you know a man named Yoo Ji Hoon?
No,
He works at a nearby convenience store, Someone saw him here last night,
He came by around 4:30 A,M,
Do you know him?
No,
He's a regular at my shop,
Why did he come here?
He said his fish died,
His fish died?
He said the three fish he bought from my shop died,
Is that all?
Yes,

[Convenience Store Murderer Sentenced to Life Imprisonment]
Yoo Ji Hoon,
We had the same given name,
Ji Hoon,
He killed the convenience store owner's wife,
When the news was published, he was all over social media,
He worked part-time at factories,
like the car factory, bread factory, and chemical factory,
He worked three months and stopped working for three months,
He posted child pornography on mom communities
and photos of brutally killed puppies on pet websites,
That's how he lived,
He committed murder because the lady had forgotten his name,
When attacked, one can defend themselves,
When hated, one can return the hate,
But a forgotten person can't do anything,
He became famous overnight,
You're no longer someone who will be forgotten,
Ji Hoon,
At first, she was different from other women,
She provoked me with fear in her eyes,
When I slammed her head on the ground,
she cried loudly and begged for my forgiveness,
When I stepped all over her,
she clung onto me,
Dormant masochism inside me sparked violence,
We created us,
So, what can I do now that I'm alone?
What's this?
Hello?
Is someone there?
Someone's there, right?
Can you hear my voice?
If you can hear me,,,
If you're listening,,,
I'm listening,
I'm listening to you,
Here, a gift for our wedding anniversary,
Thanks to you, the surprise was a success,
How,,,
I know you better than anyone,
Kneel,
I'm sorry! I won't do it again!
Please don't hit me! I'll do anything you ask! I'll do anything, please!
Please forgive me!
Those who sinned, must be punished,
Forgive me, I'm begging you!

Why did you expect so much from me?
Why give birth to me and expect so much?

You're listening, right? Help me,,,
Please kill,,,
Who are you?
Who are you?!
I hear my name on the news every morning,
Reporters ask questions endlessly,
Where was I raised, how I was raised,
They want to know everything about me,
Those gazes of contempt and disdain like I'm a pest,
Everyone's looking at me,
No one will believe me now,
I'm,,,
alive,
How did you,,,
I'm sorry,
How,,,
You don't remember me?
Nine years ago, in college,,,
During the French lecture, you helped me,
I bought you coffee to thank you, and we talked about guppies,
You said you wanted to rear them if it was so simple,
So,,, I tried to give you some,
But you said you didn't need it and rejected me,
We came across each other a few times after that,
But it seemed like you had forgotten me,
You were always surrounded by people and smiling radiantly,
You were so beautiful and far away from me,
You were shining like a star,
It's natural that,,,
you do not remember me,
I'm a terrible woman,
Just a bit,
Would you like some coffee?
Yes,
Did you instantly recognize me?
I couldn't believe it until I heard your voice,
I doubted it at first,
but I was sure it was you after hearing your voice,
As I listened to your voice,
I realized I wanted you to say my name once more,
Here,
It's good,
You're,,, the one who told me about it,
Mandheling,
It,,,
would've been great if I had remembered you,
If I did,,,
I might be living a different life,
[Best Fish Aquarium]
Have you,,, ever thought about it this way?
Another version of me exists in another dimension and in another time,
For example,,,
Take a look at this,
It takes 30 steps for you to move to your room from the living room,
But there's a time loss when you do so,
Another dimension exists there,
I may meet another version of me in that time,
Maybe I'm walking past them,
I want to meet myself,
Me, who is watching from afar,
Me, who believes he's the real me,
The one who managed to hold a proper conversation,
I want to meet that version of myself,
It means,,,
You will,,,
meet the you who believes they are the real you,
No,
You will definitely meet her,
