(Light on)

F & M: Long live for Great comrade Kim Jong-un

F: There are nothing changes in my life here. As a normal worker in North Korea, my life is colorless.

M: Well, there was something great in our life, our daughter! But you let the South Korean people took her.

F: I did that for her own good. She is a smart girl, she deserves a better study

M: I know, but there are mountains and mountains between us and her. I miss her so much

F: I used to read a lot about South Korea, that’s why I let our daughter study there.

F: I am sick of this life! Have you ever think about living in another place. I miss our daughter too, but this country won’t do any good for her.

M: Oh, I miss our lovely daughter so much.

(Drinking tea, pause)

F: I miss her too. We can not live a life like this. And since our daughter escaped, the government already expect us. Let’s escape to South Korea too!

M: Yes, I want to live with my daughter! But how can we escape, You already spend all our money for our daughter and you know how dangerous it is.

F: Let me think. I will escape from the sea, and you will escape on land. This will be safer for both of us.

M: I hope we can both get into South Korea safely. Let’s meet in the XXX building.

F: I will see you there, be safe.
