A Werewolf Boy (Neuk-dae-so-nyeon) (늑대소년)

How hideous...

A Werewolf Boy

Turn off the TV. It's distracting.

I'm watching it.

Any news from Eun-ju?

She called yesterday. She says she misses you.

She couldn't tell me herself?

It's nighttime here when she calls.

I suspect she has a new boyfriend.

What? In Korea?

You should've kept your eye on her.

Good God, listen to yourselves.

She's 19. She's supposed to be dating.

Hello?

Yes.

Does Mrs. Kim Suni live there?

That's right.

May I speak to her, please?

One moment, please.

Gran, there is a call for you from Korea.

It must be Eun-ju.

Hi, sweetheart!

Are you Mrs. Kim Suni?

This is she.

I see... Thank you.

Who was it?

What's it about?

I need to go to Korea.

Gran!

Can you believe I got a C on my midterm?

My professors use such posh language they don't even sound Korean.

The key is to do it over and over.

That's how you learn anything.

Hello?

Hi, mom.

Did you meet her?

We're in the car right now.

Where abouts are you?

Gangwon-do, Hwacheon-gun, Do... gae...

Where is that?

Dogye...

Put gran on the phone.

Okay. Gran?

Hi, it's me.

I had a good flight, ate well, and I didn't forget my pills.

You should've let Eun-ju take care of it.

It's no trouble.

Just make the sale and come right home.

Is this where you used to live?

Yeah, only briefly.

It looks kind of creepy now. Like a haunted house.

A haunted house?

It was like that even back then.

A place fit for a monster.

When was this?

When I was about your age.

When I was as pretty as you.

Back then...

47 years ago

Quiet!

I feel terrible for troubling you like this.

It's no trouble.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Get out of the way, Suni.

You must be the younger one.

Put that down, sweetheart. You should get some rest.

I'm all right.

Just that one, then.

Oh dear, that's a heavy one.

Neighbors should look out for each other.

It's only right.

Stop running around, Dong-seok. You'll break that.

What a nice house!

Hey, come and give us a hand here.

Let me get that. Please don't mind him.

What do you think? Plenty of fresh air.

The house isn't all that bad either.

My summer house is in the area, too.

The fence was too high, so I got rid of it.

Thank you. I'm forever in debt...

Stop it, mom.

What's the matter?

That's my ball.

Careful.

Look! A pig bladder.

Why won't you go inside, Suni?

If it wasn't for you, it would've taken us an eternity.

Don't mention it.

Please help yourselves.

Sweethearts, did you say 'thank you'?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dong-seok and Dong-mi, did you thank Mrs. Kim for the food?

Thank you.

Half way through the meal?

Mr. Kim is out of town?

He passed away 2 years ago.

I do a little proofreading to look after the girls.

I should invite the rest of the neighbors over to say hello.

But this is the whole village.

It's just us and Dong-seok's.

And there is a woman who lives with us, but we rarely see her.

I've been here for 5 years,

and this is the first time I've been inside this house.

How many bedrooms are there?

You have a telephone, too.

No-one lived here before us?

Well,

there was this man, but we never got to know him.

He pretty much kept to himself.

Hardly ever spoke at all.

And then... Sweetie, can I have some more soup?

Then, he died of a heart attack.

Left undiscovered for a while, too.

In the barn outside, he kept coyotes or wolves of some sort.

Wow!

Why would he...? For the meat?

No, I think he did some kind of study on them.

He would walk around with big books.

What gorgeous girls you have!

Schools are quite far away though.

The little one will go to Taeryeong Elementary, and the older one...

Jeonghwa Girls' High School, right?

Suni doesn't go to school.

I'm sorry I didn't prepare much. How is it?

Please, we have plenty more food.

I'm gonna get something from the yard.

It's chilly out. Don't be too long.

We can't really afford this big place, but we had to move for Suni.

Her doctor insisted.

What's wrong with her?

It's her lungs.

She studies at home for her diploma.

I can't remember the last time I saw a smile on her face.

She has no friends, either.

Honey...

Poor little thing...

No wonder she is as pale as a ghost.

That's no big deal.

I haven't set foot in a school my whole life.

Who was that slimeball from earlier?

He is the son of my late husband's business partner.

So, not one of yours?

No.

I knew it!

He looked like a nasty man.

Watching old people work with his hands in his pockets.

What was the slimeball doing here?

It was the slimeball that got us this place.

Only two other families in the entire village! They seem nice though.

I'll leave the window open and get the furnace running.

Your medicine?

Just took it.

How's the smell?

Awful.

Dust?

I don't know.

Tomorrow, I'll give the place a thorough scrub down.

Get some rest.

I think I will, darling.

Moonlight Melancholy. Do not touch! - Kim Suni.

Dark shadow inside meaningless being. Rot away and perish. Drop dead, useless invalid!

Wake up! There's something outside.

Wake up, Sun-ja.

Mom, Suni won't leave me alone!

Good Lord! Suni? Was that you?

Where did that come from? Where is your sister?

In there, mom.

Oh my God, what happened?

Why didn't you wake me?

What were you doing out?

Are you hurt? Here?

How horrifying! You should've called me.

Must have been a stray wolf. Is she okay?

Just a scratch.

I boiled some potatoes this morning.

Oh, you shouldn't have!

I'm sure it won't come back. Have a good day.

Leave that, honey. I'd rather you do some studying

and get your diploma, if you want to go to America.

Mom...?

Yes?

Look.

What's that?

Good Lord! Mr. Jeong!

Stay still.

Is that what you saw last night?

It could be. I'm not sure.

Go away.

Shoo! Shoo!

Come here.

Come on out, come on.

It's a human.

Who are you?

You want this?

Mom!

Okay... Here, take it.

What's this smell?

You want more? Yes?
