49 Days E7

—–

Starts from where M offers to pay Y/J to work for him and she accepts it. she asks for payment in advance and he asks if that means she will work for him and she steps up and agrees to do it.

Y/J: i can work from 11am-how many hours do you need me?

he asks why she agreed to work for him since she doesnt like him – without a reason

she retorts saying: you must not have suffered without money.  ppl who need money look at the money and work - not look at the person and work. did you ask thinking i would turn you down?

he writes down his address and tells her to meet him tm at 11 am. she asks if he doesnt go to work at that time and he says since it is her first day, he cant leave a stranger his house key

before he can say anything else- she walks off and he calls after her so she calls out his address (he wrote it down for her but she didnt look at it and crumpled it up and threw it behind her).

as she walks away she says to herself – dont worry – i will make sure to go

she flashes back to his conversation with someone when she was in the car with him

and thinks – something is up for sure

she remings herself that it doesnt matter if she is his maid cuz the money and stuff is good

 as he drives off – he says let’s see how much longer you stare at me like that. she remembers how sensitive he was about how she stared at him and she thinks

he was the kind of person who cant put up with being looked down

–

chef brings H coffee and says it really looks like Y wont be coming back-she really left

H admits he sent her away

chef asks H if H wont regret that.

H asks why he should regret and asks why he is asking like that-what’s his reason?

chef confirms – that means you are not affected at all right?

H says of course

chef says that’s good then

H asks what he means by that

chef reminds H of that man who saw this building and asked H to design for him

that guy had asked if H is busy these days so the chef told him H wasnt busy

H: why am i not busy?

chef reminds H that he declined to work on the haemido resort

after kicking away that big project-are you going to live selling wine and pasta?

is that why you took over your mom’s business?

H backs down and says – did anyone say I would

chef: so why are you getting mad

you are an architect so you should live like one

he is going to call you in a second

H’s phone rings

—

Y/J wonders if she is late to meet her friend-did she already leave? only 15mins has passed

Y/J calls that friend

 the friend says sorry but her professor made her do some work so she cant meet Y/J

Y/J offers to go to her school but the girl says she cant today cuz she is busy

Y/J says it will only take a few mins and it is for the sake of her friend

the girl says -that is not urgent -when i have time – i will go to see J and then hangs up

 Y/J says aloud – it’s not urgent? it is urgent. you are going to come see me when you have time?

then when? after i die? at the wake?

she yelled that last part really loudly so other ppl in cafe look up at her

she almost faints from hunger-why does my stomach hurt and is hungry at the same time

she eats a bowl of porridge and mutters the portion is too little and looks over the menu and thinks when she worked for H, she didnt have to spend money on food. she takes Y’s medicine for her and worries what to do if Y eats noodles again cuz the doc said not to eat noodles so she orders another porridge with lots of pork in it

she tells herself to eat and gain strength

she crosses out the name of the girl who just stood her up

——

she goes home and says Y needs to rest so that J can go to work tm

she thinks Y will be tired and lays down

—-

H meets with that guy and looks over someone’s designs and the guy says those designs are not good. H doesnt like the location cuz it doesnt match the business and the guy says land here in this neighborhood is a lot cheaper so he just went ahead and bought it

the guy shares his plans to build this and that -up to the 5 th floor and H argues that if the guy builds a five story complex -the homes behind it will have their sun blocked

 the guy mutters that those homes will be torn down in a few years anyway and offers to give them a few hundred dollars 

H tells him to just follow the designs but the guy wants H to use his talents as an architect -the one he got the award for and offfers to pay H double-cuz H is resisting the guy goes up to paying H triple but H tells him to do well in his business and not call H anymore-and not to think of building a 5 story complex here

–

* love love love H – an architect with ethics and a conscience

—-

there is a storm brewing

Y gets up so J asks why Y woke already when there is a lot of time left till 12

J apologizes to Y saying she is sorry cuz Y was really sick – J says it is strange cuz she normally eats 2-3 bowls but she couldnt so she wonders if she had a stomachache.

 Y wonders how long she slept and looks at the time and suddenly runs out. H is in her neighborhood and sees Y running by. he takes a step to go see her but changes his mind.

she goes to the store to use their phone and calls about her job – saying sorry for not going to work yesterday without any warning but she was sick and promises not to be late today (she gets fired )

–

J worries where Y went off to cuz J needs to go out and meet her dad

Y comes back and J tells Y not to eat noodles and promises to only eat porridge for Y’s sake until Y feels better and take her medicine. but Y lays down and J says – you are sleeping again? you must be having a hard time.

—

H tosses in bed remembering what Y/J said about not to worry about her even tho she doesnt take his money and stuff. he mutters (that he cant sleep cuz) she had said some needless things

—-

38 days 3 hrs and 29 mins left

J is worried yells out “what do i do” and says to Y – just cuz you slept at night -what do i do if you dont sleep now - what do i do – i should get going to M’s house

—

S shows up and J learns that Y got fired from the convenience store cuz of J

S yells that is what happened

she wonders how Y could get fired for missing just a day

she asks what to do now cuz she is already late

S: Y got fired cuz of you

J points out that S told her she could use Y’s body for 14hrs hrs each day

S:this is why i hate humans

they dont know their boundaries

he points out how Y has her own life and J is living off of Y’s body – so she has to follow Y’s body schedule

the priority is with Y’s life cuz she is lending her body -not with the 49 er

J says she knows that

then she realizes the truth

J:if she doesnt sleep – then I cant move an inch?

S: bingo

J:how can that happen

S:who do you think you are yelling at?

I told you not to harm this girl

who is the one who acted out of line and got her fired?

is it me?

J bows her head and says she was wrong

S tells J she needs to wait till Y goes back to her senses and leaves. J keeps repeating -what do i do?

so S pops back in and warns

cuz Y isnt in her normal sleep pattern she could wake up any minute from her sleep so it would be best if J didnt go around anywhere far with Y’s body

—

M is waiting and remembers how she threw away the paper he wrote his address on and decides to go to work.

—–

M goes to work and IJ joins him in the elevator. he stands in front of her and she stands behind him. she asks if he is just now coming into work and says how she has been to the hospital. IJ asks him to eat lunch together after she drops off some paperwork and he reminds her this is the company. she looks up at the CCTV. she points out they are the only ones in the elevator and the CCTV doesnt have audio so do they need to worry about who is watching. he says that is what they always did.  

—

flashback to IJ getting kidnapped and M going to her rescue. the kidnappers get beat up by M and drive off and he pulls IJ out of the car. she thinks he is one of them at first but he explains that he isnt and takes care of her in the park

she asks if he lives in this area and he says he goes hiking here twice a week and gives her something warm to drink. she has a bloody lip from when the other guys beat her up so M gives her his hanky to wipe her face

he walks her home and she asks for his info cuz he helped her and she wants to pay him back -she gives him her name and he puts his number into her phone. she asks what name she should put with his number and he says his name

end flashback

she is holding his handkerchief

he comes out of the office and she calls him oppa

he says he knew she would behave like this so that is why he acted that way earlier

she made a mistake and spoke to him informally so she switches to formal

he tells her not to look at him with her upset eyes cuz it hurts him

he lists what he is doing today – finishing up the contracts

and haemido will be done in 4 months or so

he asks if she knows what that means

she cries and says she does

he says let’s finish that up and meet comfortably

she asks if he came to say that

he tells her to be patient with him until they go overcome the most important part

he holds her hand

*based on what she said to her mom on the phone before she got grabbed – she tells her mom that she didnt use their money to get her education and to tell her bro to do what he wants – then she gets dragged into that car

—-

J’s dad is talking to his doc friend. the doc asks -are you really not going to have the surgery?

her dad says :it’s not that i wont – i cant.

doc: dont you know the more tired you get the more dangerous it is?

her dad says that the doc cant say for sure that he will get better if he has the surgery

doc threatens to talk with J’s mom cuz J’s dad wont have surgery.

J”s dad says -who are you to meet with my wife? dont say anything

she is trying to endure what J is going thru

doc tells J’s dad that J doesnt have much of a chance to make it so J’s dad at least needs to live and watch over his wife

J’s dad gets mad and says -who are you? some psychic? how can you tell me to give up on my daughter?

doc yells back that he has the right to talk like this cuz he is J’s dad’s friend

J’s dad has another episode so the doc urges him to have surgery again

—

J’s dad goes to see his wife

he asks why she is still massaging J’s legs

she explains that since J has been lying down for a long time when she wakes it will be hard for her to move around so the mom is doing this

J’s mom asks what the doc said but the dad tries to deflect the question and says his wife is overdoing it cuz she heard a compliment from her daughter

the mom asks again what the doc said and the dad lies that the doc was nagging for J’s dad to go to work and not stay at the hospital so much

the mom asks about M – shouldnt they say something since J is like this and they dont know what will happen to her

——

M meets and does more paperwork for haemido land deal - wow the amounts on the contracts were like millions -5,000,000,000 and 8,000,000,000 won

—

M goes to see H

H is lying down on his sofa listening to depressing music

M comes in and says H takes after his parents and asks why H is listening to that kind of music

H asks what M is doing here at this time

M:heard you fired Y

H; yes

M:does that mean she wont come back here?

H: told you I fired her

does it bother you that I fired her?

M says H did well to fire her cuz now M wont be misunderstood by H

H starts to apologize for misunderstanding but M cuts him off

M says he came to talk about work – he wants H to continue working on haemido project and tells him to join the meeting next week and leaves

H tells him to sit but M turns to go

chef asks if M is going already

M says he is busy and leaves

chef says M’s mood doesnt seem good as time goes on

H agrees and says in the states – he was able to endure cuz of M

and wonders if he was too sensitive to M

M gets in his car and asks himself what he came here to confirm

—–

J stares at Y

she remembers what S said-warning her about how if J borrows Y’s body and Y wakes up outside-what does J think will happen

J: she just fell asleep so could she possibly wake up?

so she takes over Y’s body and runs out but turns back remembering what S said

if you are not aware- do you think you would let someone use your body?

Y/J goes back in

she looks in the mirror and says – sister -why are you living like this? arent you wasting this pretty face

she remembers the doc saying that Y lived like this for 5 yrs

she wonders what happened to Y

and goes thru Y’s box looking for an album or something and suddenlyY wakes up and J pops out as Y/J says -why am i like this?

J is scared cuz Y is wearing her better clothes

Y looks around – at her clothes – the room and at the opened box and is shocked

—-

the doc comes to Y’s house with a rose

Y sits there and remembers all the weird things lately

how her hair is clean – how the landlady claimed to have seen her – how she threw up- how she has a bruise on her knee

J asks -what’s wrong “onyi” / sister?

and Y wonders- what happened to me

J is worried Y is suspicious

J keeps saying what should i do and picks up the phone to call S

Y looks thru her box and says she is sick of everything -she repeats it as J asks what she said

Y takes out a rope and makes a noose

J wonders what Y is doing – what is she thinking of doing

Y is going to hang herself

J says – you cant! you cant die

she calls S and says to hurry and come cuz Y is going to commit suicide

she begs him to stop Y

S: again? leave her alone – whether she commits suicide or not – it is her choice

no one has the right to interfere

J begs him to come

he cant go even if he wants cuz he has to escort someone about to die where he is

after he yells at J to hang up – he wonders why Y is acting like that

J keeps begging Y not to – I was wrong – so  please

but there is a knock at the door just as Y puts her head thru the noose

it is the doc guy

he calls her name and keeps knocking-it is you right? open the door –

J says someone came – someone is here for you

Y ignores the knocking but he is getting more frantic and keeps trying to open it

he warns he is going to knock down the door is she doesnt open it

finally she gets down and goes to open the door

he looks relieved to see her

Y asks why he is here

he says he couldnt check if she was ok cuz she doesnt come out to the convenience store

he said he came to return her dried rose saying it seemed imp to her

Y asks why he is doing this to her

he says he has to see that she is ok

then asks if she is ok

he says – thankfully she still seems ok

she takes the rose he extended to her

he gives her his business card asking her to call anytime if she needs anything -whether to talk or whatever

she turns to go back in but he asks her to just take it

cant she do that at least?

—–

she goes back in and looks at the dried rose and puts it down

she has his business card in her hand

she stares at the noose

Y sits down

J thanks her for not dying

she doesnt know why Y wants to die so much

but J envys her

you dont know how precious it is to have a body do you?

that you can touch for real

when you touch – how warm it is

have someone to listen to your voice

that there are ppl who listen to my voice

be able to look at each other and laugh together

she begs Y to gain some energy

so that J has a chance to come back to life -so that she can do something to try to come back to life

J was crying but now Y is too

—

37 days 3 hrs 29 mins left

Y is still sitting there and J is too across from her  but she stands to stretch

H is at the hospital and puts a vase of flowers down and J’s mom is there too

Y is eating noodles again while J paces

35 days 3 hrs and 29 mins left

—

M gave J’s dad some paperwork with red stamps all over it

34 days 3 hrs and 29 mins left

S is there with J

J screams and asks S to do something with Y cuz J has been stuck in here for 4 days

I only have 34 days left

S says that he cant control or make a human being do something

J says S’s neighborhood is too cruel

you said I wasnt designated to dieevery day that passes seems to be shrinking her heart

she asks him to help her live

S tells her to wait and he will find out something and reaches for his phone

he calls someone older than him and says how Y hasnt moved for 4 days

he whispers in this situation – can he can use #3

–

S stand outside and texts something and red skeleton spots pop up on a map

he chooses one and looks at some guy working at a cafe

S goes there to meet the guy and S has the strangest hairstyle yet (OMG what is up with that hairdo? it is like they are testing how he can remain good looking no matter what - and he may have just lost)

S orders large coffee – with lots of whipped cream and choco syrup

after paying for his coffee

S pretends to have fits and asks why this place is like this – making him feel uneasywith negative energy

he asks the guy if the guy runs this place alone – doesnt he use a part time worker at night?

the guy thinks to himself -why is this punk speaking informally to me

S replies like he read the guy’s thoughts and says -instead of saying “why is this punk speaking informally”-you should use a part time worker

S counts off all the things that happened to the guy so far

by pretending to have visions of what the guy encountered

4 months ago another incident with a nail (not sure if he said nail-i guessed)

a month ago an accident with the guy’s dog and next – it will be the guy

and and it starts to scare the guy cuz he wonders how S knows all that 

S pretends to have snapped out of his psychic spell and the guy asks what will happen next to the guy but S just asks for his coffee and turns to leave

but S turns back and tells the guy to make sure to hire a woman -cant be over 30- cant be fat-cant hire a woman who smiles too much-as long as the guy does this he will have a long life

—

Y is out of noodles so she puts her shoes on

she gets a flier thru her door - think it was for that job

she pulls it thru the slot and tosses it behind her

everywhere she walks that ad is there and disappears as she passes

(only she can see this and is invisible to everyone else)

Y goes to buy more ramen

the lady asks how Y survives eating just that

Y finally sees the flier for that job

she goes to the place

she extends the flier but the guy cant see anything in her hand

she asks if he is looking for a part timer here and he finishes her sentence saying he is looking for one and  asks if she can work starting from today – right now-she can do that right?

while S and J watch Y being trained

J thanks S outside for getting Y that job

he tells J her new hours that she can use Y’s body- from 1am at night to 8am next day

J promises to be careful

S comments that while she was trapped for 4 days – she thought had time to think things over

J: cuz thinking was the only think i could do

then J asks for another favor

S retorts: what else do you want me to do? women want more when a guy treats them well

J asks him to find out about Y’s background cuz J wants to know why Y lives like that

S says a scheduler only works for ppl who left this neighborhood

J: if she has family – i want to find them for her

he points out she will be busy enough with her job

but she says she knows and will work harder

J: after being with her for a few days – Y seems lonely

looking at Y inside, he says to Y – why do you live so pathetically

–

Y/J runs out

33 days-4 hrs and 59 mins  left

she goes to M’s home as he is about to leave

he opens the door and she says

good thing you didnt leave for work yet- I’m a  little late huh? 

 he points out she is more than late – is she playing around after promising to come

she explains that something came up so she couldnt move for a few days and there was no way to contact him

M:so?

Y/J: if you found another maid – then I will leave

he says cuz she got fired cuz of him – he lets her in

he points out where the bedroom is and the bathroom

she says it is cozy and she doesnt need to come everyday since it isnt that big and there wont be much to do

M says that is up to him to decide

Y/J: cleaning -laundry – preparing dinner-that wont take all day

M: let’s talk about that after you give me your ID

Y/J: ID?

M: either your ID or driver’s license

she says she doesnt carry that stuff

he says he cant trust his whole home to someone he only knows her name

when he doesnt even know if that name is real or fake

she asks if there is a lot to steal in his home

he says to someone who earns daily pay it is a lot

she asks if she should go back and bring her ID

M asks for her cell phone

Y/J: you want me to entrust you with my cell phone?

he pulls it out of her hand and puts his number on it and makes it ring so he has her number on his phone

then he gives it back

she asks if she can talk about what she wants – didnt he ask her to think about it

M says he is busy now so he wants to talk about it later when he gets home

she asks when he will be home

he says he will try coming home around 11

Y/J: you want me to wait till 11 at night?

he says he might come home before then

she blocks his path

Y/J: cant i just close the door and leave?

M: I have to see how you work today to decide if I should give you more work tm

did you forget you came here to work as a maid/housekeeper?

she thinks to herself that he is trapping her here all day

and mutters how imp a day is to her

M: if you cant wait -just go

saying how he doesnt want to be on time for some housekeeper

she finally agrees to wait till he comes

he leaves

she goes thru his files and doesnt find anything suspicious

she figures he wouldnt leave stuff like that at home

she looks elsewhere

IJ asks why P is home and not working

P asks IJ to go with her to see J

IJ says she has an appt

P asks if IJ has a bf

P notices how IJ sighs a lot and thought it was cuz of J

so she asks who the guy is

IJ says she will tell her later

P says  J might wake up if she knows IJ has a guy

IJ tells her to stop talking about J

if J stays like that – is P going to keep going to see J twice a week

H gets dragged outside by the chef

H points out he isnt a kid but the chef orders him to stretch

the chef doesnt like how H is cooped up inside all the time

che’s wife and waiters were watching and runs off when H catches them looking

Y/J goes up to H and asks H what he is doing

she greets the chef and says it feels like she came back to her hometown

H asks why she came again

she said she came for the pay on her last day

he asks if she worked that last day

Y/J: oh yeah i didnt work that day – i am not here to cling to you and ask for work

H:then what did you come to do?

she steps up and leans in and says

look here han kang shi

what do I look like to you? a part time worker?

H:han kang shi?

Y/J says that since he isnt her boss she doesnt need to address him like that

she says she is as a customer here to pay and eat pasta

chef says H needs to say “i’m sorry patron”

Y/J says to the chef that it is ok cuz it is not like H didnt know his personality was rude

—-

H is listening in from the side

Y/J eats her pasta and tells the chef’s wife that she got a new job

the wife says to tell her if Y/J didnt get a new job cuz she will look into it

Y/J says again that she got a job for real

she looks over at H and says loudly

she is getting paid more, has flexible hours,

and has to take care of only one person so it is not tiring at all

the woman says it looks like it is hard for Y/J

Y/J says it really is not hard work

the wife says it looks like it’s hard for Y’s heart 

Y admits she liked working here better cuz it was comfortable

H tells the chef not to accept her money and goes

later asY leaves

H is sitting outside

the wife asks if Y is coming back again

and Y/J says of course -she might come once every 3 days to eat pasta

she leans over and says she paid to H as she walks by

and he yells back at someone that he told them not to take her money

she goes back and says to H

am i a beggar? why dont you take my money?

H: how can i take your money?

she mutters that it hasnt been long since he fired her and now he is being considerate of her

she also points out to him that she has no interest in M at all

he ignores that comment and asks

H: are you well? is the place you work really ok?

she softens and nods yes

H: then that is that

she says she will be leaving and bows to the chef’s wife and goes

waitress comes running out cuz she guessed where Y works

at a bar (drinking place) -gets paid a lot – has flexible hours-can go around during the day

chef’s wife says that sounds right and gets worried about Y

H repeats “bar” and runs after Y

he looks everywhere calling out her name

Y/J is hiding from H

she says to herself

kang ah -even tho you are worrying over Y and not me -thank you anyway

it’s a good thing i have someone like you next to me

he wonders aloud where she went

Y/J: dont do that cuz it makes me want to go to you

even tho the person you are worrying about isnt me

she cries and runs off

he says she is crazy for working at a bar and keeps calling out her name
