Then what about Hanyung University?
Their aviation school isn't bad.
Is it hard to get in there, too?
- Take the exam over next year. - What?
Your mother...
After your mom left us,
I know I couldn't be the best father.
But don't feel like it's a waste
to study another year for the exam.
Go to your room.
I'm so pitiful.
My blood doesn't circulate so well maybe due to the lack of exercise.
College Exam Preparation Institute
Hey, Kang Min-jae!
Min-jae!
It's gross!
Ballet?
Are you crazy? Why would I quit?
I think it's fun now.
Are you serious?
So you're taking a year off to study like your dad wants you to?
It's either a good college, or nothing else.
Who wouldn't want to go to one?
Law school, business school. Fuck it all!
He doesn't even know what his son wants.
Jong-suk, why are the noodles so salty?
That's because it's yesterday's, idiot.
You come eat for free, so what do you expect?
Have a nice meal.
Isn't it time?
Turn on the TV.
But this is the right group.
The guys we met are in it.
I don't see Chang-sub.
Are you sure this is it?
He must've gotten dropped.
I thought something was up when he killed his phone.
What a bastard.
He's hiding out because he's embarrassed.
Dong-wan, what's wrong with all of us?
I don't want to study again.
I don't want to go to aviation school!
What's there to lie about between friends?
You can't go, that's why.
You look like you'd be a good student. So you're not.
There's always one of his kind.
There's nothing free in this world.
On the condition that I learn ballet, Jong-suk offered to help me out.
I just submitted it to Hanyung University.
Are you at Daemyung University? What's it like?
It's packed. I'm looking at the tech school now.
I have to get on!
He can't get into liberal arts.
What? It's science?
Min-jae, do you like trees and plants?
Trees and plants?
Landscape architecture is safe. Apply for it.
Landscape architecture is cool.
Dong-wan, aren't you applying?
Hurry up and apply for any school.
Shut up, idiot.
I'll worry about my own.
Don't overdo yourself.
Do the Demi plie.
This is bad.
You've forgotten everything!
I know it'll be inconvenient, but we're here to share the space.
How did this happen?
Since I don't have many students,
they told me to share the same room with another small class.
Your fencers will also find it uncomfortable.
We'll have music on all the time.
A swordsman is not affected by space.
Meditation time!
Empty your mind.
Serenity is the basis of martial arts.
Being interested in useless things
means that you have an evil spirit inside you.
Stop!
Load it faster.
Why are you so slow?
Do I have to come all the way here?
Why isn't anything working out for us?
Dong-wan didn't apply for any college.
I barely handed in my applications, but aviation is way too competitive.
At least you handed them in.
Hey, who cares if you can't be a dancer.
Let's learn ballet again.
Does it make sense if I do and you don't?
Plus, Jong-suk misses you a lot.
I'm not dancing anymore.
I have to work for a living now.
You can do something else besides this.
There's convenient stores, Internet cafes.
Why work at a place like this?
What's wrong with it?
Have you ever been in a place like this?
So you're gonna avoid us and do this shitjob forever?
You son of a bitch.
Are people who work shitjobs not worth anything?
I'm gonna do this shitjob, so what?
Hey, Lee Chang-sub.
My whole family works shitjobs anyway.
What's with you?
What do bastards like you know?
Feel good about going to college, huh?
I'm fucking pitiful, huh?
You pompous fuck.
Hey asshole, you done talking?
What are you two doing?
- Stop it! Stop fighting! - Are you crazy?
Don't fight, damn it!
What are friends fighting for?
Damn it!
Chang-sub, you shouldn't have done that.
Hey, Min-jae!
I'm sorry. I tagged along.
Damn it!
You know what?
I think you're a really good dancer.
I'm not good at anything.
Soo-jin gets better grades than me and she's very smart.
So when I'm with her I feel like I'm nothing.
Also, she talks better than I do.
I'm tripping on my words, huh?
You're much better.
She's snotty.
Whether you work here or dance, I don't think you'll change.
But it totally doesn't matter.
When I see you dance, I feel like crying.
Hey, stop it.
I'll say more.
I stink. Go away.
I don't care if you stink!
Lee Chang-sub, I like you.
I'm serious. You're really awesome.
I'm sorry.
I really hate fighting.
I hate it the most.
I said I'm sorry.
Hey, what's that?
Mr. Doh-il.
What's going on?
- I'm glad you're here. - Those street punks.
Seems like you made some money. You're such a good boy.
Wear your clothes right. You look fantastic.
Ki-chul! You rotten bastards! Shame on you!
Who are you?
Oh, you're here to sell yogurt.
What the hell?
Ki-tae, don't worry. I'll pay for whatever I throw.
You're all dead!
Why's this so expensive?
You rotten thugs!
What's with those guys?
How long will they keep it up?
Hey, they didn't fight as good as they cut out to be.
When the cops showed up, they split.
Hey, Chang-sub.
We're at the sauna.
How much do you get at the store? Is it worth it?
Why? Are you bored?
Not at all.
If you give me your monthly allowance,
want me to play with you five hours a day?
You know that's not what I meant.
That's what I am. All I know is money.
The bills come after the rent.
After the bills comes Ki-chul's medicine.
Time goes too slow for you, huh? You're bored as hell, huh?
I feel like a month comes in four days.
The day my father died all I thought about was money.
Shit, he's no help to my life at all.
He'd be better off dead!
But when I went he was already dead.
That's my life, I guess.
What soul is there that hasn't been hurt by their parents?
Know what I did
with the funeral donations?
You drank?
I bought some sneakers.
I bought Ki-chul expensive Nikes.
What's wrong?
Why's that bastard Ki-tae here?
He's not a bad person.
Fuck, everything he does is pitiful.
I�m just scared I'll turn out like him.
Chang-sub! Long time no see.
Why aren't you going in?
Chang-sub is here!
Naughty boy.
How are you? Come in.
That day Ki-tae didn't cry.
Chang-sub joined the ballet class again.
And Soo-jin went to Jeju Island.
Hwangbo, I'm sorry.
Soo-jin, I'm sorry.
Damn.
Hyun-sung!
When are you going to the army?
I'm going in February.
I'm going to be sad.
I was less bored with you around.
I came all the way here to apologize.
If you saw me, you should come out.
The guys I know are young and childish.
But not you.
No, I'm very childish, Soo-jin.
About running away at your age?
It's better if they're not responsible rather than hearing them say they care.
Even if they do, it's no use. They won't care anyway.
People who struggle to do things that won't work are really weird to me.
Oh yeah, this girl in my class told me she loved me.
Isn't she really weird?
What's the use in liking me when we can't see each other soon?
Out of sight, out of mind, right?
You know what?
You, who's afraid of cute puppies and wants to be a vet, is weirder.
Hyun-sung.
I'm not sure if this is related, but don't fool yourself.
Does the world look that easy to you?
I'm gay.
I like guys, you see.
That's why I got kicked out.
I must look really weird to you.
No, it's not that.
Everyone has their own preference.
Okay, then I guess not.
Try not to care.
About what people think.
It's not important to you at all.
Aren't I right?
What the hell?
How could you throw away your bud like that?
Someone could get hurt!
Fuck.
Oh, scary. You're scaring me.
- What are you doing? - Do what, bitch?
Hey, you're really tough.
You're cute for a smart girl.
Why? You don't like me hitting you?
What happened to that tough girl? Does it hurt?
Tell me if it hurts. I'll pay for the hospital bill.
Come on, say something tough like you did before, bitch.
You wanna die, bitch?
You wanna die? Do you?
Does it hurt? Act tough like you did before, bitch.
You shouldn't lie down on such a cold day.
Get up, damn it.
Why don't you make our lives easier, huh?
Be careful next time.
I'll let you off easy this time, but you're dead if you do it again.
Let's go.
I failed to get into both Hankuk Aviation and Hanyung.
You didn't want to go into aviation anyway.
You got into Daemyung University!
Sis.
Sis, you got accepted.
It's mine! My phone!
I said it's mine!
Okay.
What's wrong with you?
What's going on? What's wrong, Soo-jin?
Mom!
Min-jae, remember today's New Year's, right?
Come over at two with your dad for some dumpling soup.
There's my lovely boy.
Hyung-min, let's hop in.
It's cold, huh? Did you go to the bathroom?
- Look at how many lived here. - You can say that again.
How many are there, for goodness sakes?
- Hi, Ki-chul. - Hello.
- Got a place for them to sleep?
Hop in.
- Aren't you coming with us? - I've got some deliveries left.
What's going on?
Ki-chul was at a nursery for young leukemia patients.
But the tenants here signed a petition to kick them out.
Kick them out? Why?
They said it's gross.
They're worried about infections.
I feel sorry for them. They should go after New Year's.
Who'd like these bald kids coming in and out of here?
These are decent apartments. And we share the elevator.
The nursery's on the first floor. So why'd they ride the elevator?
Mother.
Did I say the elevator was the problem?
Why get on my case?
You'll all pay dearly for this.
Reconstruction?
Have a wonderful life!
I'll never step foot in this neighborhood!
Min-jae, come in.
Mother, would you like some soup?
No, I'm fine.
Please help yourself.
Where've you been?
He's still young.
Min-jae. Take off your jacket.
Since there's no grown-up at home, he's probably outside all the time.
Visiting relatives during the holidays and listening to them makes him mature.
Don't you think?
Yes, mother. You're absolutely right.
Are you visiting your family's tombs? I heard you don't have much family.
Since I've been living on an irregular schedule,
I haven't had much time.
I owe a lot to my sister-in-law.
Please, I didn't do a thing.
Min-jae, you like lotus roots, right? Have some.
No, you did a big thing.
You look after your family, take care of your nephew.
Think all this is that easy?
You should always be grateful for your aunt.
Right.
Of course, he's very grateful.
Why doesn't that boy listen?
A person needs to watch and learn starting from childhood.
But how could he if he had a sick mother around all the time?
Min-jae, so what happened with college?
I heard you're going into aviation.
No?
I failed to get into aviation.
But I got into landscape architecture at Daemyung University.
That's great.
He didn't even learn how to use chopsticks right.
My baby, eat a lot and don't spill, okay?
Min-jae, it's okay.
Anyway Auntie, did you sign that petition?
Oh, for the nursery? Yeah, I did.
What did they do for you to run them out?
What did I do wrong?
Everyone else did, so how couldn't I?
Dad and I never signed it.
Min-jae, I signed for you and your dad.
Who do you think you are?
- Are you my mom? - Min-jae!
- My mom's dead! - Min-jae!
You're not even my mom, so why the fuck did you?
- You rotten little punk! Come here! - Let go!
Where's that boy's manners?
Get up, you punk! How dare you curse like that?
He's absolutely ungrateful.
I'm gonna beat the crap out of you when we get home.
Grandma, I'm not a bad son!
Come here! Is that what I taught you?
- Come outside! - Let go!
- Come outside! - No, I won't go!
You rotten punk, get up!
Go back home.
After the holidays are over,
sign up for private classes and take a year off to study!
- Says who? - What?
I got into a college so why should I study again?
Who told you to apply on your own?
Who'll pay your tuition?
I told you I didn't get into aviation.
Anyway, I'll never take a year off.
What's the use in going there?
If I become a pilot like you, I'll never be at home,
and couldn't take mom to the hospital.
Where were you when mom died?
You weren't home.
You left me at home alone when mom died.
I'll never do that crap to my son!
How dare you say that to your father!
How could you say that to your father?
Min-jae, hurry and apologize!
You rotten bastard, who are you to say that?
I'm the one who raised you.
Brother-in-law.
Why'd you hit me?
What gives you the right?
I hate you.
I hate going into mom's room.
And I hate lotus roots.
After mom died, we ate lotus roots every day.
I bet you didn't know.
Dad.
I never eat lotus roots.
I couldn't eat it even until last year.
You know it's mom's favorite dish.
So why are you making me eat it all the time?
I also miss mom like crazy!
Damn it!
Min-jae!
Don't cry.
Don't worry.
Don't cry.
Hey, it's cold.
Let's go inside, okay?
To be honest, I'm horrified of mice.
But I heard we always have to dissect mice at vet school.
But I knew all that beforehand.
I'm really stupid, huh?
I don't even know what landscape architecture is.
Honestly, I'm really scared, Min-jae.
She's a really good dancer.
I heard she did ballet for over ten years.
10 years?
How old will we be in 10 years?
Thirty.
I'd be an old lady.
Me, too.
At that age...
I can't even imagine.
Aren't you going home?
I'm too embarrassed to go.
What's the highest-paying job that I can do?
Can't you work better? Boss, don't feed him.
Look at how you're stacking. Are you making a pyramid?
Hey runaway, eat this.
It's old, huh?
- Forget it then. - No! No!
He's the new kid.
I told you to load 1.5 liters!
Where in the world are you? You didn't come for your graduation.
Your father paid your tuition.
So hurry back home, Min-jae.
Okay?
Who is it?
Min-jae!
It's me, Ki-tae.
You scared me, you idiot!
I thought it was the security guard.
Are you off now? What are you doing here?
Min-jae! I'm rich!
Hey, what are you talking about?
Are you drunk?
I'm so happy I came to brag to you.
Hey, don't be stuffed up in here.
Let's go. I'll buy you drinks.
Hey! Hey!
- What? - Come here.
Sit down!
Ki-tae.
Did you steal?
Steal?
It's nothing like that.
Then tell me truth! Where'd you get the money?
Today, I got my dad's life insurance claim.
It's 30 million won.
With 30 million won, Ki-chul can get his surgery.
Today, the lady upstairs gave it to me.
My Ki-chul won't be sick anymore.
Min-jae. I feel fantastic.
Don't cry.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
Don't cry.
- Does it hurt like this? - It doesn't hurt.
Let me see.
Arabesque.
Raise your hands.
Stretch a little more.
A little more.
Here.
This has to come out.
Good. Good.
Stretch more.
Plie.
Hey, Min-jae's sleeping.
What's he so sleepy for?
Don't wake him. He's probably exhausted.
There are tons of people here.
Didn't you know? They're all my fans.
Don't be upset when people leave after each performance.
Usually people the performers know come to these events.
That sucks. We're the last to go out.
Min-jae has to get here after work, so it's better we're last.
You're making me sick.
It's all done.
Where did everybody go?
We mixed up the order, so we have to reload again.
Everyone just left.
One!
Low block!
Face block!
I knew he'd do this. It happens every year.
How do you expect to compete in the national talent show?
Feed him this.
Hey, Dong-wan.
I'm still at work. Is everyone there?
But it'll start in ten minutes.
I'll go as soon as I'm done.
But I can't leave yet.
Jong-suk.
- Are you okay? - Are you okay?
I was wondering where the curtain went.
Honey, she's wearing our living room curtain.
Get the show started!
Jong-suk!
Go the dancing scooter! Eum Jong-suk!
Why are you so late?
Min-jae.
You little punk!
Move!
Come here right now!
You little good-for-nothing!
Come here now, you punk!
What are you doing here, you punk?
Go out instead of me. Do a good job!
Serenity is the basis of martial arts.
So is ballet.
Let's go!
I don't why we were so happy, but we kept smiling and screaming.
Come to think of it,
it was the first time I was ever complimented.
Where are you going?
Home.
Wake up.
When did you get here?
Take it.
What's this for?
Weird kid.
What do you want me to do with this?
If he ran away, then he should beg on his knees for forgiveness.
Hey, Min-jae!
827,000 won.
It's not worth half my tuition, but I still earned it.
It's my money and I'll do what I want with it.
I'm gonna bet with it so let's play.
Since this is all that I got.
You little punk.
Come here!
Hey!
Throw the ball!
Fine. You wanna play?
Sure.
Okay. Catch it, boy!
Good! Good!
Come on!
So you won't regret going into landscape architecture?
Are you sure?
I don't know!
Hey boy, then when will you know?
I don't know!
But I do realize how hard it is to make money.
I can learn the rest as I keep growing.
I'm only twenty now.
You're too smart for me.
I lost. Let's stop.
You lost, right?
Think you're a tough shot for being strong, boy?
Hurry it up!
I still got a lot of energy left.
How can you pilot a plane if you're that weak?
Let's go.
Just give me my jacket.
That night, my dad made me eat lotus roots again.
He's such an aloof character.
But I just ate it anyway.
Actually, it didn't taste that bad after all.
Touch his ear, too.
Lee Chang-sub, you're the best!
Wonderful!
