//c_M+15 000010:#RECEIVE; 000020:Good morning, darling! Did you sleep well? 000030:#CALLBACK; 000040:Hey, darling! Good morning! Did you sleep well? Hehe. 000050:#START; 000060:I finished putting my laundry on the drying stand, and I'm on my way out. 000070: 001;Where are you off to? 000080:I'm going to the mart! 000090: 002;Are you taking a walk? 000100:I'm going to the mart. But I guess I'm basically taking a walk on my way! 000110: 003;Jealous... Looks like you have a lot of time. 000120:Well, my morning isn't that busy. I hope yours isn't busy, either...... 000130:Hehe, here. I'll give you a share of my freedom! Fling! 000140:Well? Do you feel better? 000150: 001;Yeah! 000160:Hehe, that makes me happy, too. 000170: 002;Hahaha........ 000180:Hohoho..... Consider it a little prank. Please? Hehe. 000190: 000; 000200: 000; 000210:I'm out of fabric softener. You can't do laundry without fabric softener! That's no way to treat your clothes! Don't you agree? 000220: 001;Yeah, fabric softener is a must. 000230:That's right. It feels good when your clothes smell nice after laundry, you know? 000240:But of course... There's always the job of putting away your clothes afterward. 000250: 002;Oh, do you have a specific brand you use? 000260:Yeah. Do you know Jiuny? That's pretty good. Smells nice, too. 000270: 003;Fabric softener? What's that?? 000280:Huh? You don't know what fabric softener is? 000290:It's the thing that makes your clothes soft when you wash your clothes.... Like Whigeon. Or Jiuny. 000300:You know, often there are separate sections for laundry machines to add laundry detergent and fabric softener. 000310: 001;What's laundry detergent???+#081c_5 000320:Hahaha.... My, my. 000330:Laundry detergent is what you use to wash your hair...... Hehehe. 000340:Agh, you gave me such laughter for the morning. 000350: 002;I see. I didn't know because I don't do my laundry. 000360:Oh....that's good. So someone else does laundry for you. Wait, that person isn't a man, is he? Hehe. 000370:But how come you're not even familiar with the term fabric softener...? Does someone else watch TV for you as well!? 000380: 000; 000390: 000; 000400:In the past, I washed my clothes without fabric softener. I was too lazy to use one. 000410:Do you know what hated the most back then? 000420: 001;Having your clothes turn stiff? 000430:Uh...that's one of them. But I was okay with t-shirts and jeans going stiff. 000440: 002;Hmm...your underwears? 000450:I didn't care about them. I just put them on. Haha. 000460: 003;You hated doing laundry itself..... 000470:Do you hate doing it? But you just have to get your clothes in the washing machine. Though it was a bit bothersome, I didn't hate it. 000480: 000; 000490:I hated it when my towels turned all stiff. 000500:You'd often mistake your towels for dry rugs if they feel stiff and hard like sandpaper against your face, you know? 000510: 001;Like sandpaper? I like it! 000520:What? Hahahaha.... No, honey. I'll wash your towels for you. No coarse towels for your face! 000530: 002;So are you now the master of laundry? 000540:Yeah.... Hehe. I used to practice only cooking because my mother said that's the most important skill in living, but now I'm practicing laundry, too. 000550: 000; 000560:Uh, hang on. Let me get this door.... 000570:Have you ever washed your clothes wrong? 000580: 001;I got color bleeding once. It was a disaster. 000590:Oh.... Happened to me, too. I got color bleeding from a black t-shirt, so my favorite white t-shirt turned grey..... 000600:You have to make sure you separate colored clothes. Really. 000610: 002;My fabrics once got ruined. 000620:Really? I just wash it randomly... I'd better remember what kind of cloth needs extra care. 000630:I should take note of it in case I get to wash your clothes someday. Hehe. 000640: 003;My laundry has always been perfect! 000650:That's amazing.... No matter how good your clothes are, they won't stay good if you do your laundry wrong, you know? 000660:I had to throw out some clothes because of color bleeding and ruined fabric. 000670: 000; 000680:These days I check how I should wash my clothes before I do laundry. 000690:These days in Korea, there's a dry cleaning machine for home, you know? Was it called... Stiler? I read it in a magazine. 000700:Oh, I need more hands to check out, hon. Let me talk to you once I'm out of here. 000710: 001;Okay. Have a good one! 000720:Thanks. And have a nice day! 000730: 002;I'll be waiting, sweetie. 000740:Yes, yes! Please wait for me, my love. 000750: 000; 000760:Let's talk again. //c_B 000770:#RECEIVE; 000780:Hi, sugar...! It's me. 000790:#CALLBACK; 000800:Hi, honey. How's your day going? 000810:#START; 000820: 001;Very well! 000830:That's 120 out of 100 for your cuteness! 000840:I feel better hearing from you. I've been a bit gloomy...... 000850: 002;Good. What about you? 000860:Umm, I've been thinking. About what I read while writing my scenario. 000870: 000; 000880:Parody, homage, plagiarism.... They seem similar, but they're received completely differently, you know? 000890:While reading, I got worried people might think my scenario is a work of plagiarism. 000900: 001;Don't worry! Nobody will think so! Because your work is so childish!+#003_130 000910:You're kidding, right? Please tell me that was a joke.... 000920:That hurt me more than anything did in my life.... Sniffle. 000930: 001;I was joking. Sorry! 000940:Kgh. I'm glad if that was a joke.... For a moment that was so scary. 000950: 002;I meant it. It's to help you do better! 000960:Kgh..... I should dig a 1-m hole to hide while you're not watching. 000970: 000; 000980: 002;No way! You don't get to find a story like ours every day! 000990:I know, right? I mean, what's the chance of meeting so dramatically and form a good relationship like we've done? 001000:There might be movies or TV shows with a similar plot, but I'm sure the purpose or emotions of dating parties can't be similar! 001010: 003;You should work hard so that nobody will say so. 001020:Of course. This is my original story.... It'd be so bad if someone thinks it's not. 001030: 000; 001040:I read a post on how to tell these three apart. It's a parody if you see something and go like, 'Ahaha - it's this and that!' It's an homage if you go, 'Oh, I know! It's this and that!' And it's plagiarism if you go, 'Wait... Isn't this...?' 001050: 001;Wow, I get it so well! 001060:I know, right? Haha. But as the creator I'm kind of worried. I don't want people to think I plagiarized when I had worked so hard. 001070: 002;Huh? They seem pretty much the same to me.+#081c_15 001080:Looks like you didn't get it.... Hang on. There's another explanation for this. 001090: 000; 001100:It's a parody if you know the original and you find it funny. It's homage if you want people to recognize the original. And it's plagiarism if you want to hide the original. 001110:It's not plagiarism if you make it outright funny, is it? Once people suspect that you plagiarized, it's hard to prove yourself innocent. 001120: 001;But sometimes people would fight whether it's plagiarism, when in reality it's not. 001130:Yeah, I think I've seen cases like that. But I think something like that mostly happens because the guideline to determine plagiarism is a bit ambiguous. 001140:I think both parties involved in the controversy go through a lot of emotional stress once the trouble starts. 001150: 002;Yeah. And when it's plagiarism, you have to show that it is. You need to make a creation, not copy it. 001160:You're right, but it'd be kind of sad if an innocent creator gets mistaken for a copycat...... 001170:But then again, you gotta be famous before you can actually be mistaken. 001180: 003;It's good to be careful, but I hope people make sure it doesn't jeopardize creativity. 001190:Sure, honey. You know, I agree with you. 001200: 000; 001210:I'm not trying to protect those who plagiarize, but having too many regulations compromises creative portrayals, you know? 001220:Of course, framing plagiarism as homage is unacceptable. But if you make a reference to an outside source, I think you have to REALLY show why you made a reference. Otherwise there will be controversies. 001230:What do you think about homage? 001240: 001;I think it's a way to pay your respect. 001250:Agreed! Hehe. 001260:You're right. You'd get to rediscover not-so-well-known masterpieces, so I think that's good for people working with movies. 001270: 002;I think it's an excuse for plagiarism. 001280:Well, there are a lot of bad examples... Nowadays many people would think it's a lie when someone says it's an homage. 001290:I think it's a good idea to say that you made an homage in the first place, if you don't think people would recognize it. 001300: 003;I'm not sure. 001310:Is that so? For most viewers or readers, entertainment is most important to them. 001320:So only very few people would point out plagiarism and make it public. 001330:I think homage is a way to show your respect. 001340: 000; 001350:When I did a project before, I made an homage to a work by a director I really admire. 001360:But after my presentation, I heard somebody complained that I plagiarized. 001370: 001;That must have been scary! 001380:It was a shocker. Well, it's partially because back then I didn't have a lot of experience. 001390:But homage can be mistaken for something else if it fails to appeal to people. So it was a good experience for me. 001400: 002;Homage? For your project? That's incredible. 001410:Is it? I thought it was okay to do it. Hehe. 001420:But I was grateful my professor recognized my homage and covered for me. I was so grateful. 001430: 003;You could've chosen not to do an homage. 001440:Umm... But I felt like making my admired person more well-known if I can. 001450:I meant absolutely no harm. But it's my fault. I didn't have much experience. 001460: 000; 001470:Phew, anyways, this has been bothering me. I feel better now that I talked about it. I should really make some progress now. 001480: 001;Good luck on your creation! 001490:Thanks. I'll make it my topmost priority and do my best! 001500: 002;Please take care! 001510:Okay. I'll take care so that I don't make any careless mistakes! 001520: 000; 001530:I'll call again, sugar. Muah. //c_L_D 001540:Hey, darling! 001550:I made so much progress with my scenario. I had full concentration. I might as well end up finishing it! Hahahaha. 001560:Geez, but why is it so hot in here.....? I should get some air. 001570:....That's not what I wanted to say. Honey, could you please forget about what you saw back there? 001580:Well, though that won't be possible.... Hah. Well, I... Why did I do that? 001590: 001;You're so cute, %%! 001600:Huh? No, you're cuter. 001610: 002;It must be really hot.... Or did something freak you out? 001620:Honey..... You already know what it is. Sniffle. 001630: 003;Stupid....... 001640:Yes, I am........ 001650: 000; 001660:Umm, honey? 001670:Couples would order rings someday... And it would be a bit awkward not to know each other's ring size. 001680:Wouldn't it be cool to know your size beforehand and show you the ring? 001690: 001;It'd be soooo cool....! 001700:Haha, of course it is! 001710: 002;No, I don't think guys should go that far. 001720:Was it too much? Haha........ 001730: 000; 001740:This is a bit embarrassing.... I don't think I did anything particularly wrong, but why is it so embarrassing?! 001750: 001;I understand. I know how you feel, so calm down. 001760:Phew... You mean it? Still, I wanted to show you only the result... 001770:From now on I should make it more meticulous. 001780: 002;Let's talk when you're not embarrassed. 001790:I should, Honey, next time we talk let's pretend this never happened. 001800:Yes.... Wipe it clean from your album and memories. 001810: 000; 001820:I had something tell you, but I forgot what it is... Hmm, this won't do. I'll call you again once I remember, sugar. 001830: 001;Why leave so soon? No - you're not hanging up! 001840:Sweetie, I need some time to refresh myself, please.... I'll make sure I call you again. 001850: 002;Sure. You should run along. 001860:Thanks, sweetie. 001870: 000; 001880:I'll call you after I write some more for my scenario! See you! //c_N 001890:#RECEIVE; 001900:Ahem, testing - hello? Sweetie? 001910:#CALLBACK; 001920:Huh...? Sweetie, you're awake? 001930:#START; 001940: 001;Are you drunk? 001950:Huh? No.... I didn't drink a lot. 001960: 002;What are you doing? 001970:I'm going home after meeting up with Doyoung and Yuri...! 001980: 003;I told you I'm going to sleep...! 001990:Uh...sorry, honey. Then you could've ignored my call. 002000:I wanted to hear from you. You can hang up if you're tired. 002010: 000; 002020:Haha.... I kept thinking about you while watching Doyoung and Yuri being...you know. 002030:Honey, I love you sooo much... 002040: 001;You're drunk. 002050:I think I'm drunk with your voice, not alcohol. Hehe. 002060: 002;I love you, too! 002070:Aww, I'm so happy! Muah, muah, muah. 002080: 000; 002090:Hehe, what were you doing so far? 002100: 001;Getting ready for bed! 002110:Well, it's about bedtime. Good work today, hon. 002120:You're fabulous. You know what to do all by yourself. 002130: 002;I had something to do, so I've been staying awake. 002140:Umm...it's not anything difficult, is it? I hope you finish it quickly and get some rest. It's late...... 002150:I'm worried you might push yourself too hard and get sick. 002160: 000; 002170:I'm...not tired tonight, even after drinking.... Is this a sign I should do more work?! 002180: 001;Shouldn't you sleep early? 002190:Sure. Since I'll be busy tomorrow, I'll go to bed in a moment. 002200: 002;You can work even better after drinking! 002210:Ugh, actually that makes me awake. Work done after drinking doesn't count as work.... You can't count it as one. 002220: 003;Stupid drunkard! 002230:I'm not a drunkard! Hehe... Ugh, but I can't say I'm not stupid. 002240: 000; 002250:Geez.... They're so lucky they met each other. 002260:They fought every day in college, and not long after they said they're dating. And by the time I got used to their relationship, we graduated and went about our own ways... 002270:And then I suddenly heard from them that they're getting married...... 002280:Looking at them sitting together, I remembered how they were like in college. Though I'm the same as how I've always been. 002290: 001;%%, you're lonely, aren't you? 002300:No, why would I be lonely when you're with me? It's just that...I'm jealous, I guess? Hehehe. 002310: 002;Do you want to get married? 002320:Uh, what? Huh?! I, uh... Ah.... I think I need to give a lot of thought before I answer that. 002330:Hehehe. But I am going to get married. I'm not sure when, but I will get married. 002340: 000; 002350:Anyways, I told them I'm working as a freelance director. And they asked me if I managed to catch up to my father a lot. We never talked about something so serious before...... 002360:When we were about to leave, Doyoung told me that I'll be able to make a movie that outshines my father's works. 002370: 001;Yes, you can do it! Your friend guarantees! 002380:Yes.... Hehe, I should do a good job. 002390: 002;Did you tell them congrats for getting married? 002400:Well, I just teased them. I told them I knew there will be something between them. I mean, they fought like an old couple ever since freshman year... Something like that. 002410: 003;I wish I could meet your friends, too. 002420:I'd love to introduce you to my friends... Really. 002430: 000; 002440:Honey, I'm almost near my apartment. I should head in. 002450:Thanks for hearing me out at this hour.... I miss you so bad. 002460: 001;I miss you, too. 002470:I miss you more..... Now I miss you even more since you say that. 002480: 002;Go ahead. 002490:Sure. I made it back safe, so no need to worry about me. 002500: 000; 002510:Since I have to work tomorrow, I think I'll go to bed right away. Hope you have a good rest...! 002520:Have a lovely dream, my adorable love. Muah.
