May I ask your name?

I'm here to find out why he died.

If every life has a story,

then the dead must as well.

I heard he had no family.

He must've done a lot of good in his life.

You're too pretty...

This is a funeral.

Not a place to joke around.

Are you sure it's Noe because

you have things...

That you can't say?

He had a terminal stomach cancer.

He was told that he had 6 months.

But...

His cause of death wasn't cancer.

A terminal cancer patient

committed a suicide...

And left all his wealth

to his beautiful hospice.

[Door to the Night]

What a waste.

Drying them must've taken some time.

But no one's around to eat them.

We met at the funeral?

This is a beautiful house.

Please take a seat.

A house this big in Seoul

must be expensive.

Right?

It's misu powder.

How do you like living here?

I don't know.

What do you think?

Amazing.

Even better if you got it for free.

Try some.

It's better than I thought.

Black beans, brown rice, sesame.

I dried and ground them myself.

It works well as a meal too.

I'm sure...

It's good for cancer patients too?

I write stories for this magazine.

I heard...

Yeon-hwa, right?

I heard your story

and wanted to publish your story.

My...

Story?

I heard from the dead's doctor.

You took care of a terminal cancer patient

by yourself?

I know you were paid...

But without love for people,

it's an impossible job.

Really?

Isn't it?

Maybe.

[1 year ago]

You might have to clean

my urine and excretions.

No bedsores.

And at least two baths a day.

If you're gonna just

wipe me down with a wet towel...

I won't.

I'll try my best and think of you

as my father.

If you quit...

It'll void our contract.

You heard, right?

Not even a dollar.

Go bring me some tea.

Yes, sir.

I heard vegetables are better

than carbs for you.

So I used a lot of greens.

I was told it was hand picked

in the mountains...

I told you to not talk back at me.

Your office didn't tell you?

Clean it up.

Yes, sir.

Massage.

You skipped a spot.

Press harder.

So not even a single cancer cell...

Can survive.

Water...

Waking up...

From a sweet dream...

Makes you feel sad...

And lonely.

While...

You were sleeping...

If one of my cancer cells reach my lung,

I'll stop breathing in minutes.

Then I die.

Instead of seeing me dead

as soon as you wake up...

Waking up to cold water...

Might be better.

Yes, sir.

I got it from an organic grocery store.

That's why this egg is a bit small.

Anything to drink?

Here.

After boiling it, I let it simmer

just as you told me to.

I can tell by its color.

Are you wondering

when this annoying old man will die?

No.

If you wait, it won't happen quickly.

But whatever you dread, will come soon.

Don't go back and forth.

Start from the top and go down.

Yes, sir.

Get rid of the...

Old people smell

and medicine smell.

Cancer cell smell...

From every inch of my body.

The smell of death...

Erase them all.

Don't feel sorry for me.

Everyone dies eventually.

I have no amends to make.

I don't blame anyone.

I thought you looked good.

And that's why!

I thought he was hiding a gold bar

when he refused to leave his house.

It wasn't gold.

It was a flower!

Stop joking around.

She's my assistant.

If I had someone like her,

I could die tomorrow!

Idiots.

Since everyone seems to finish eating,

we have some entertainments

prepared for you.

Who will start us off today?

Sir!

Let's not listen to our old voices.

Let's listen to this beautiful lady first!

A round of applause please!

How old are you?

Sorry?

How old are you?

28.

28...

Same age as Jung-hwan...

That guy...

Where did you learn...

That song?

You don't know?

I had a lover.

He...

Taught me.

After that...

He ran.

I had someone like that too.

She...

Left after teaching me that song.

How unfortunate...

They're too pretty...

To be stuck here.

Too pretty.

How unfortunate...

There must be a reason...

For growing here.

How about you?

How did you end up here?

And take care of...

And old man who's dying?

I thought...

That was my path.

I wish I can pluck cancer like this too.

I thought I wouldn't want...

To keep living.

But lately...

I've been getting greedy.

I know it's useless...

But I still...

Want to live.

It's progressing quickly.

Your stomach will swell up soon

with immense pain.

It'll feel like someone's

twisting your intestines.

Then...

Fluid will fill your stomach.

It's time to go exercise.

Go iron my clothes.

Sorry?

My clothes...

Need to be ironed.

Are you going somewhere?

Where are you going?

Go to a photo studio.

What?

You need to get something.

Stay there and wait.

Then bring it when it's ready.

I'll go after we exercise.

Now.

Yes, sir.

It's ready.

No...

Honey.

Jung-hwan...

Got his first paycheck...

And bought this for me.

Honey.

How are you?

I'll bring this with me...

So you can see it.

No...

Wake up.

No!

No!

Live.

Let's...

Live...

Together.

Okay, let's.

If it's with you...

I want to live.

It's so pretty.

How much is it?

Can we get organic ones?

Organic ones are much smaller

and expensive.

I don't care.

It's for a patient.

Could you get some if you don't have it?

I want him to eat the best of the best.

Of course.

I'll get it by tomorrow.

Thank you.

With a nice daughter like that,

you'll get better in no time!

Let's go.

You don't know who that is?

That's the principal!

His wife died early.

He raised his son by himself.

He died in a car accident too!

Then who is she?

Maybe that's his second wife!

That thief!

Are you okay?

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

Can you stand up?

You look so happy.

Your wife is really pretty.

She was.

She was beautiful.

Your son...

Must've been smart.

He always listened to me.

I heard...

He got into an accident.

Because I wasn't able to control myself...

Everyone have left.

Are you going to leave like that too?

Are you going to leave now that I started liking you?

Are you going to leave?

I...

Don't...

Have anywhere to go.

What's wrong?

Your cancer stopped progressing.

If things stay this way...

Your 6 months could become 6 years.

What a great weather.

Why don't we go eat some sashimi?

You shouldn't eat raw food.

If you want fish, I'll cook it for you.

Welcome back!

Hey.

Isn't it hot outside?

That felt nice.

It's heavy, let me.

It's okay.

What's up?

Let's eat this one.

What?

Let's eat.

Take it easy!

You can't drink!

Delicious.

Stop.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

That's why I said you can't eat raw food!

What's gotten into him?

Let me help!

Don't touch me!

What's wrong with you!

Don't think about your stupid urges.

Just think about getting better!

Greed...

Always leads to a regret.

But...

You can't just forget about your regrets.

That's why...

It's cruel.

You made a mistake because you're drunk.

It's my fault for not taking care of you.

I'll be more careful.

I'm not drunk.

I'm not.

I'm not drunk!

I'm fine.

Yes, that's Lee Yeon-hwa.

And worked at night.

She studied during the day

She's a hard worker.

I think she has a lot of certificates too.

She worked at night?

What did she do?

Su-ji?

That's what we called her.

But she quit a long time ago.

Why did she quit?

If you saw someone hanging on a ceiling,

Would you keep working?

Someone died?

She...

Had a boyfriend.

Are you sure?

The old man probably said

not until he dies.

Then his wife died first.

To get what she really wanted,

she probably had to kill him.

He was terminally ill.

All she had to do is wait.

Why would she kill her?

Maybe she has her reasons.

Don't worry about it.

Let me know if you find more.

Alright.

Hey!

You're late.

Is it the smile?

He looks familiar.

You could've...

Ran into him somewhere before.

Do you want to drink?

This house only has healthy food.

Do hostess clubs

sell things like this too?

Maybe.

Not when I was working.

But maybe it changed.

Try some.

It was his favorite.

Yeon-hwa.

Why did you come here?

I...

Was his hospice.

Then...

As a hospice, did you want him to live

or did you want him to die?

Here.

It smells wonderful.

I made it on my own.

Did he like it too?

Cancer patients can't drink.

But if he could be happy with one glass,

I thought it'll be better than chemotherapy.

That's a dangerous prescription.

Was your magazine called, Weekly Issue?

I've never heard of it before.

It first published 2 years ago.

It's not that popular yet.

But we're proud.

We're shedding light

on buried crimes

and hidden truths.

Rambling on is when you get caught.

The more you hide...

The more it won't.

I said I hate ginger!

But ginger is great for stomach cancers!

I can even digest raw fish!

If you don't want ginger,

I'll cook some mushrooms.

Mushrooms have a lot of anti-carcinogens.

I...

Can't do this, can I?

But what am I supposed to do?

My heart...

Doesn't want to stop.

Why...

Why can't I do it?

Yeon-hwa.

Listen up.

Yeon-hwa.

Even if I'm going to die soon,

I'm alive now.

Even if I might die tomorrow...

It...

Still works.

I'm still alive!

Yeon-hwa!

Yeon-hwa!

Go...

I'll give you my money.

I said I'd help you.

I'll help you.

That's my job.

Here.

You have to take your medicine.

Say, ah.

If you're hot, do you want to shower?

You can go...

Let's go shower.

You think...

You won't die?

Dying by cancer...

Dying by natural causes...

You and me...

Aren't that different.

Getting excited is bad for you.

You're so rude.

Do you want some roasted garlic?

Then what?

Feel all energized

when I can't do anything about it?

It's good for cancer.

Bitch.

If you don't want it, you should sleep.

Yeon-hwa.

Yeon-hwa...

You shouldn't increase your activities

all of a sudden.

Watch a movie and relax.

I was told not to do this...

He told me not to...

Do this.

Hey.

You see that pretty guy there?

Make sure he gets drunk.

Okay?

Do you wanna drink?

Sure.

My head...

Hi.

Here.

I thought you'd have a headache.

What?

What kind of a girl drink like that...

You'll get sick.

What are you doing?

You're adorable.

Thank you.

Here.

I hope you feel better.

Bye.

You'll get sick.

Hello again.

Just for a minute.

Why?

Are you buying me more?

Sure.

I'm sorry, my hands are cold.

Where are we going?

Just for a bit.

Where are we going?

You're so funny.

Who's the singer?

Mom.

My mom...

Used to sing this when she was happy.

That's why...

I do it too.

Finished.

Here.

And this.

It's...

For me?

Yes.

Every person for themselves.

No one will know if you do nothing.

From now on, don't do it again.

Okay?

He said...

No.

Not even in...

Not in my next life.

Yeon-hwa.

Are you okay?

Just once...

I wanted to...

See him with my eyes...

Hear him with my ears...

I thought I'd have a closure then.

I went to go see him

for the last time.

I'm sorry.

I was given a second chance in my life.

So I decided to use it...

For other people's lives.

That's how I came here.

What do you want from me?

I didn't do anything.

I didn't...

Kill him.

Car accident. Died at the scene.

You need help?

It's fine.

It's obvious.

Broke but couldn't get a job.

Jumped in for insurance money.

But died.

You should be an author, not a reporter.

Ridiculous.

I'm glad that fraud died.

All she has is her body.

And you want to do what?

Love?

It's none of your business.

That's is not how I raised you!

I'll never allow you to go see that slut.

Who am I to you?

I always wanted to know.

Who am I to you!

Just so I don't embarrass you,

I didn't even get to sleep in

for my whole life.

It's for your own good!

I never wanted to do that!

How are you!

You're dead.

You're dead to me!

Don't!

You bastards!

Don't make this more difficult.

Don't...

You're so pretty.

Bastards.

God damn.

Look what I wore to meet you today.

You bastards.

Stop!

Bitch!

Start.

Help!

Let go!

Hold still!

You fuckers!

No!

Fuck!

Nice.

Do you like that?

Don't move!

Bastards...

Let her go...

That's enough!

No...

Yeon-hwa...

Stop acting.

You even do it 12 times a day

if you get paid.

Right?

Is that enough?

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Yeon-hwa...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

His father sent those punks.

I think his father was a teacher?

Educated people are way more cruel.

Well...

He probably thinks we're animals.

What happened to Su-ji?

I don't know.

Some say she went to Busan.

That's her hometown.

Oh.

I also heard she's living with a rich man

who's about to die.

How did she...

Meet him?

Who?

That old man?

He...

Died too.

Did he like it too?

It just looks like grass.

It's way better than Viagra.

It's even called Door To The Night.

Opens the door at night.

Open the door?

If you really want this to work...

You have to dry these well

and make liquor with it.

Wait.

What happen when someone

eat this for a long time?

I don't know.

Maybe every girl starts to look pretty?

When I wake up from a sweet dream...

I get lonely and sad.

Right?

Yeon-hwa.

I...

Yeon-hwa.

Are you hungry?

Aren't you hungry?

Here.

Take a seat.

Now that I'm old...

My thoughts are getting old too.

I'm sorry.

I was being too selfish.

Let's eat.

Go ahead.

You don't...

Want to live?

That's not true.

Wanna see?

See?

See?

I'm fine.

You were too late.

I'm meeting someone.

Wait.

Yeon-hwa!

I'm fine.

Yeon-hwa...

I like you.

I don't want anything.

I don't want anything from you.

Just...

You and me...

Just like this.

Such a simple thing...

Can become someone's greed.

Do you want this house?

No, wait.

You can have this house.

And...

You can have my social security too.

You can buy pretty clothes

and eat delicious food.

Please Yeon-hwa.

I don't need it anymore.

Then what?

What do you want me to do?

What...

Can you possibly do now?

Yeon-hwa...

You know how I feel.

I really...

I really...

You knew...

How I felt.

You knew.

You knew everything.

You...

You...

You remember now?

Did you...

Really have to do this?

I just told him to see

what you do

and who you are.

You...

You've never met me.

You don't even know me.

Why would I see you?

Why would I waste my time?

People say parent can't win

against their kids.

Not me.

Don't get your hopes up.

What about Jung-hwan?

What's he going to say?

He's still young.

It was a mistake.

Nothing more, and nothing less.

What about me?

My feelings?

Just keep living like you always have.

Sell your body and smile.

Now you remember.

I sold my body and smile

like you told me too.

Why?

You think I believe you?

I don't.

It was an accident.

They were all accidents!

Can you give me a bath?

Jung-hwan...

What did he say?

He said...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

And...

Thank you...

For letting me go with no regrets.

I...

Didn't kill him.

If someone killed him...

It was him.

Take it.

So this is...

How...

It feels.

For you...

Jung-hwan...

And me...

For first time in a while,

I was able to dream for a long time.

When I opened my eyes...

I realized it was a dream.

But...

I had a great afternoon,

thanks to that dream.

That's enough.

It's enough.

That's enough for me.
