難治病
The incurable disease
Sojung: Hi, my name is Sojung Kim
Are you Teacher Park?
Kim: Hi, unfortunately, my last name is Kim
Sojung: I’m sorry, I think I saved the wrong number
Anybody can make a mistake, have I distracted you?
Are you Korean?
Kim: Maybe I am
Hyojung: My name is Hyojung Kim
It hasn’t been very long since I came to Korea
Nice to meet you
Even chance meetings are the result of karma
Kim: I cannot trust you; I have a “trust disease”
Hyojung: Can you not fundamentally fix this disease?
That’s so unfortunate
Kim: The world is full of unfortunes
But I tend to think if there’s nothing I can do about it, there’s nothing I can do about it
Hyojung: Hope it’s not a terminal illness
Kim: My disease is probably incurable
Hyojung: Sadly, things didn’t go as planned
Kim: Like Harim’s song
Hyojung: See you in the next life, friend
Kim: I don’t believe in the next life
But I wish you good fortune
Hyojung: Ok
요즘 들어 이상한 문자를 받는다
(Lately I’ve been getting strange messages)
어디서 번호가 팔린 걸까
(Is it that my number has been leaked?)
소정—혹은 효정—은 사기꾼일까 그냥 미친 걸까
(Is Sojung—or Hyojung—a scammer or just crazy?)
혹시 나쁜거나 미친 것은 내가 아닐까…
(Or is it that the really bad or crazy me…)
