The Eighth Sense (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

The Ocean

[The Eighth Sense]
Did something happen?
We aren't even prepared.
It's okay. We can buy stuff there if necessary.
Did something bad happen?
Hyung, let's relax.
Let's breathe in some fresh morning air.
All I smell are exhaust fumes since we are in the middle of the highway.
It's just an expression. At least, it's not Seoul city air.
Don't you need to use the restroom?
I'm okay.
Then I'll be back from the restroom.
Okay.
Are you going on a trip?
Yes.
With your girlfriend?
Well, it's
Here's a mix tape that's perfect for lightening up the mood.
I don't think we have a cassette player in the car.
These days, it comes out as a USB.
Hey, boy. This is a gift for you because you're cute.
Sorry? No, it's okay. I don't think we would listen to trot songs.
I need to spread it among the youth. So, when you become an adult, you'll listen to it.
Think of it as if I'm investing for the future, okay?
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Goodbye.
- Have a nice day!
- Sausages and rice cake!
- Sausages and rice cake!
Hello. Can we get two sausages and rice cake, please?
Isn't it funny?
What is?
In the past, when it came to food at rest stops, it was always udon.
But since Lee Young Ja ate it on TV, sausages and rice cakes became the must-eat food at rest stops.
We are always living in other's frameworks in this world.
So are we eating in a world that Lee Young Ja has created?
Then, I'm going to eat something else.
Don't try to get out of the box.
Did something bad happen?
Why do you assume that something bad happened to me?
I'm good at reading the room.
What kind of a person who is good at reading the room asks so directly?
You have to coax me into saying it.
I'll be back from the restroom.
Okay.
What are you looking for?
Oh, I'm just waiting for my friend.
Are you going on a trip?
Yes.
With your girlfriend?
No, with a boyfriend.
You know fireworks are a must when you guys travel together through Yeongdong Highway, right?
Isn't it illegal to light fireworks on the beach these days?
That's why they don't sell it on the beach, but here we do.
Let me see.
Here, it's a gift to you since you are handsome.
- Thank you.
- No worries.
What are those?
This? It's fireworks.
A random guy gave them to me.
Really? Some guy gave me something, too.
What's that?
I think it's a trot songs mixtape.
Let's listen to it.
What the heck is this?
I don't know.
Turn it off!
A guy gave me and told me it's a compilation of trot songs.
Let's go!
We're here.
Thanks for driving.
Why did you want to come to the beach?
Is that your way of sussing something out?
Let's go.
Why aren't you sitting down?
If I get sand on me, I'll be itchy all day.
You can go over there and blow it off with a machine.
Are you happy now that you are at the beach?
Yes.
Isn't it strange?
Why is it so nice just to be near the ocean?
I'm still a little scared of the ocean.
Why?
When I was in elementary school, I was a boy scout. But one day, Joon Pyo forced me to join the Sea Cadets.
I was in the Sea Cadets too.
But the kids from other schools hazed me in the ocean.
With you was my first time back to the ocean after that.
Boy Scout, Girl Scout, youth association, and Sea Cadet. Everyone has trauma from those places.
Why were parents so eager to send their kids there?
Do you also have trauma?
I hated sleeping with other kids.
What?
How can you call that trauma compared to water torture?
Are we going to surf?
Let's just rest today.
Today? Are we sleeping over?
We've come all the way here, so it's a shame to make a day trip.
How's it going with Ae Ri?
Ae Ri? We're just friends.
You should've walked Ae Ri home that night. Why did you walk me home?
Don't you have any common sense?
Ae Ri doesn't like to be treated like that. And we are just friends!
When I ask about your relationship, does it make me seem like a nosy old man?
Yes, a little bit.
Why did you want to come to the beach with me? You have a lot of friends.
It's because you don't know me well.
What does that mean?
It's literal.
I feel more comfortable around you because you don't know all my baggage.
Jae Won.
Nothing.
Why? What was it?
I just called your name for no reason.
Wait, are you coaxing out my answer like this?
It's not like that.
You are slyer than I expected. I was almost fooled.
Then do you also not know me well, either?
Of course. We are getting to know each other now.
And you are a freshman, so everything is a beginning for you.
You don't know that maybe something might've happened to me during high school.
Something like your water torture story?
Hyung!
I'm just kidding.
It's very clear you don't have anything to worry about.
How do you know that?
It's because you're so pure.
You seem to have a lot on your mind.
Right?
Hyung, stand right here. I'll take a photo for your social media.
Do you know the vibe of photos for social media?
I learned it from Ae Ri. So stand right there, and I'll take a good one.
Really?
Are you ok?
They actually sell this type of stuff here.
I think you overdid it.
You should've told me we were going to hike. You said the beach.
Have you been wearing these all day?
You should've told me.
Hold on a second.
So close.
Hey.
Yeah?
I was thinking
Why did we sit on the beach before when we had these chairs?
That's right. Ji-hyun, aren't you clever.
But I didn't have enough time to think about it.
Are we really going to stay over?
Why? Do you want to go back to Seoul?
I really didn't bring anything.
You told me to contact you if I'm having a hard time.
What?
When I'm having a hard time, you told me to contact you.
I'll be careful not to pry.
Why did you really want to come to the beach?
Have you ever experienced death?
Not yet. My grandparents are all alive.
I had a younger brother.
You're twenty years old this year. He is the same age as you.
No. He would've been the same age as you.
My brother died when I was in high school. In front of my eyes.
I'm sorry. I'm not sure what to say.
Everyone is curious about how it happened when they hear the story.
So why don't you ask me that question?
I think that would be painful.
No. That's more uncomfortable.
So what happened to him?
Actually, you're right.
Thinking of it, I can't.
Ji-hyun, you're more sensitive than me.
All this time has passed, and it is still painful for you?
It's hard every day.
Originally I was preparing as a photography major without my parents knowing.
So that was what you were talking about, you wanted to be a photographer.
Yes.
The camera my brother bought me, the last gift from him got smashed yesterday.
Broken?
Why did you bring this?
It's your first time sleeping on the beach, right?
Can't we just sleep somewhere inside.
There's a sense of closeness in the outdoors.
I get cold easily.
This is a very warm sleeping bag.
Let's sleep.
Are you awake?
Hello.
Did you sleep well?
Are you sending me some early morning energy?
I think you were cold last night.
You really are sensitive to the cold.
Drink this.
Ji-hyun, you are different than the first time we met.
How?
If you're still scared and unsure, you would have never come to the beach with no plan and slept outdoors.
You've changed as well.
How?
At first, you pretended to be all that and it felt like you were putting up a front.
But now you seem at ease.
That's only in front of you.
I'm the same. I wouldn't have found the courage without you.
You're hungry, right?
Some surfing after eating?
Sounds great.
We're going to ride the waves hard today.
Okay.
Why did you kiss me?
To get rid of your trauma.
Why did you kiss me?
To cause you trauma.
Ji-hyun!
Ji-hyun!
