Where is he?
SUNJA
He’s gone to sleep. He’s had a long day of travel.
KYUNGHEE
Oh, Sunja. We always knew, didn’t we? He would be the one to do it.
SUNJA
He’s a good boy. Now eat.
KYUNGHEE
Sunja... I don’t want to take the medicine anymore.
An elderly Sunja cares for her dying sister-in-law, Kyunghee, who expresses a desire to stop her medication and face the end of her life. The two women reflect on their shared history of survival, the passage of time, and the lingering 'what ifs' regarding the choices they made and the men they left behind.
