When I'm alone, I pay for something first
On the night Jisu was left alone at the vacation rental, she opened a delivery app first. Again, her time alone began only after she spent money.
Alone at the vacation rental, Jisu opens the payment screen before she can say she feels lonely.
After her friend changed their dinner plans, Jisu repeatedly ordered things she didn't need from the rental. Golden Child Child looks with her at how the moment she spends money overlaps with the first scene of her time alone.
When I spend money as soon as I'm alone
When you look at whether being alone begins at the same moment as paying, other scenes come into view—not just the spending.
When did you first want to pay for something after being left alone?
The scene of her hand opening the delivery app and not stopping after she was left alone stayed with me. It seemed as though, before spending money, that hand was briefly putting off the time alone. If you've been through something similar, please share that story here too.
Scenes
- 01 · The night dinner plans changed The night dinner plans changed — When they arrived at the rental, Mina changed their dinner plans. Before going up to the room where she'd be alone, Jisu turned the key over in her palm several times. Mina: I'll go up first. Let's each get dinner separately. Gang Jisu: Oh, okay.
- 02 · The screen that opened with payment The scene where the payment screen opens first — Alone in the room, Jisu orders a late-night meal even though she's not hungry. When I'm alone, I spend money for no reason. Gang Jisu: I'll order this and take a shower.
- 03 · A drawer full of receipts A drawer full of receipts — Jisu also took out the receipts from her last trip. Each day she was left alone at the rental, there was a meal or shopping charge. Golden Child: After you were left alone, what did you do first? Gang Jisu: I turned on my phone. I looked for something to order.
- 04 · A brief pause before paying A brief pause before paying — Golden Child drew the moment Jisu opened the screen right after being left alone, not what happened after she paid. Jisu's thumb paused above the payment button. Golden Child: When that hand paused, what did you notice first? Gang Jisu: I'm not sure. I was just alone.
