Episode 64
Your grades keep soaring higher and higher each time!
They're not soaring.
It's because I didn't try as hard before.
Don't be modest. 30th in the entire school is very impressive, Jong Suk.
You keep improving like this, and you might even get 1st place in the school soon.
You're really amazing.
Big deal.
When you're at the bottom, you move up and down 10 spots.
If it's so easy why are your grades getting lower and lower?
My standards are different from Stupid's.
That's enough.
Shouldn't we also express our thanks to Ji Won too?
We can't ignore the fact that she's been tutoring Jong Suk.
That's right, you should at least take some food over.
What for, it's fine.
Still that's not right.
What should I take to her?
- You're back. - Good job!
Isn't it really cold out?
It's really cold today.
But my hands weren't thanks to the gloves you gave me.
- Great! - That's real leather.
Is that so?
No wonder.
Have some tangerines. They're really sweet.
Thank you.
It really is sweet.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Baek Jin Hee!
Yes?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing really...
Jin Hee, did you know?
Know what?
If you close your eyes and nose when you eat tangerines,
and tell yourself it tastes like chocolate, it really does.
What the...are you trying to trick me again?
I'm not trying to trick you.
99.8% of the decisions you make
are directly correlated to your sense of sight and smell.
Try it if you don't believe me.
Close your eyes and nose and open your mouth.
Hurry.
Why...
Now chew this thinking it's chocolate.
How can a tangerine taste like choco--
Doesn't it really taste like chocolate?
It really does!
The taste and even the way it melts in my mouth...
What the heck? It's really chocolate.
You looked down so I wanted to cheer you up.
Fighting!
What the heck...always me...
What's going on with your grades?
You've fluctuated but you've never gone lower than the top 5 in the school.
It happens.
How can you say that? You're a senior now.
It's not a big deal. I wasn't feeling well during the exams.
Why not? Are you sick?
It's not like that.
Alright, next time, I'll study so hard my eyeballs pop out.
Satisfied?
So you want to give her money?
Yes, I think we should.
I overheard them saying Ji Won's grades fell.
So there's a possibility Ha Sun won't let Ji Won tutor Jong Suk.
Or she might just decide to focus on her studies more.
How about we pay her in advance so she can't just quit?
How much?
What about half of what college student tutors are paid?
Half?!
She did it on her own and we didn't ask her to do it.
If we must, we should consider it like pocket change and give her half of half.
Half of half.
So how much does that make it?
Let's do the math together.
Is she smart enough to go to the School of Engineering at Seoul National University?
She's consistently placed in the top 2 so I'm sure she is.
Then we can give her about a quarter of what we would give a Seoul University student.
How many hours a week is it?
Two hours per session.
At most I think they have 2 or 3 sessions a week.
Let's say 2 sessions per week,
then that's 4 hours total.
So that's 16 hours a month.
It's been about 2 months, so 32 hours total.
Let's find out how much tutors charge these days.
What is this?
You've worked so hard tutoring Jong Suk.
It's an expression of our thanks.
And if you can keep up the great work we'd really appreciate it.
So you're giving me money right now?
Money isn't enough to show our gratitude,
but we did the math logically,
and it came out to 168,500 won total. (~$170)
We rounded it up to 170,000 won.
It's fine. I didn't do this for money.
I just wanted to help Jong Suk.
We know that, but we feel bad.
Consider it us just giving you spending money and accept it.
Yeah.
It's just that this is too overwhelming for me.
It's not like we have a set time,
and something may prevent me from being able to tutor him.
Accepting this would make them proper tutoring sessions.
It's okay. Just accept it.
No, it's not okay.
Just take it!
- Yeah! - No.
Instead, Jong Suk said he would take the exams at the test prep center too.
If his scores go up on that, you can take me out to a nice dinner.
Yeah, so I'm going to go return it.
Want to go with me?
What time?
Then call me when you're done.
Why did you put the vitamin powder in there?
Dang it!
At least it's good for your body. It's vitamin-infused coffee.
I'm so out of it.
- Hold on! - What?
Can I drink that?
Have some coffee.
I was just thinking of coffee.
How did you know what I was thinking?
I had a feeling you would.
You messed with me this morning? Have a taste of your own medicine.
Thank you.
- By the way Jin Hee. - Yes?
I saw on the list you submitted that there are people missing social security numbers.
Oh right. I meant to check all that.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. It can happen.
What's with the singing? Just drink it now. One shot!
It can happen.
What is it?
What...?
What are you staring at so intently?
Did you put something in my coffee by chance?
No! Why would I? No, it's not that.
Just kidding!
But seeing how surprised you are, did you really put something in here?
Why would I do such a thing...
If you don't trust me, should I drink it?
Yes!
Yes! Why? Do you not want to because there's something in it?
What? No. Well then...
It's so good!
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Why, do your teeth hurt?
Yes, well...
I have a dentist I recently went to. Want me to make an appointment for you?
No! I'll go later when I have time...
Aren't you in a lot of pain right now?
Don't worry about it.
- It won't work. - Where are you guys going?
We'll be right back.
You have tutoring. Where are you going?
Something came up so Kim Ji Won can't do it.
Something came up?
What happened?
How should I know? I'll be back.
Put rewards on the tutoring sessions?
I feel like she's less dedicated because she's busy.
If she won't take our money, we need to get her committed some other way.
So that she'll devote herself to tutoring Jong Suk.
Really?
Of course! She's like a learning center for Jong Suk.
But it's no use if she tutors based on her schedule.
Jong Suk is improving rapidly and we need to make sure he continues to do so.
Will she accept rewards if she won't accept money?
Seeing that she asked us for a nice dinner if Jong Suk improves,
we need to find something nice for her.
Stuff like this will instill dedication and a sense of responsibility.
Then what kinds of rewards should we have?
What about this?
Having different reward levels?
Levels?
Yeah. Divide it up into about 4 different levels.
Top 80%, top 70%, top 50% and top 20%.
That's a good idea.
So then what should we have for the top 80%?
He was 45th place last time, so top 80% would be...
where he currently is.
Right? So since it's his current status,
what about fried chicken?
1 fried chicken?
Isn't that too weak?
We want to build commitment, so we should make this one a bit weak.
Then if the next level is enticing enough, she'll be motivated to do better.
Fine...
Then what about top 70%?
What about a gold ring?
A gold ring?
That's more than what we've offered so far.
So if she works hard and reaches the goal, it's worth it.
Well then...
Then what will we give her for the top 50%?
Honestly, this one is nearly impossible.
So let's do something really nice.
Nice like what?
What about a trip to Europe?
A trip to Europe?!
If we put this out,
it's not possible, but at least she'll be motivated.
Plus, it looks very nice.
Well then...
And for the final 20%?
This one is seriously impossible,
so let's make this one something absolutely unbelievable.
Something that is undeniably amazing.
- What about a car? - A car?
Don't you think it seems like too much of a joke?
Who cares? It's impossible anyways.
If a miracle like that were to actually happen, I'd be so happy I'd go into major debt to do it.
Right. It's impossible.
- Go to the dentist. - Alright.
Are you here to see me?
No, to return the sesame oil.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Why are you laughing? Did something exciting happen?
Does it look like it?
I'm laughing because of my brother.
What about him?
He's a doctor and his teeth hurt so much he can't drink cold water,
but he won't go to the dentist.
Yeah, I know.
I offered to make an appointment for him during the day too.
But he said no thanks.
Is there a reason he doesn't like going to the dentist?
When he was younger,
they accidentally hurt his tongue while drilling his teeth.
Oh my!
So he avoids the dentist as much as possible.
Even now I'm sure he doesn't go because he's scared.
But he keeps arguing that's not why.
Seriously, what is this?
Why? Ji Won works so hard.
We felt bad not doing anything about it.
So we decided to reward Ji Won based on your upcoming exam scores.
We put a lot of thought into this.
Yeah. Since the tutoring sessions aren't anything official,
we thought this was the least we could do.
I'm sure the prizes aren't the only goals,
but we thought it would be good motivation.
Wow, that's really incredible.
So if Jong Suk makes the top 20th percentile, you're really giving her a car?
Of course!
Does that make sense? How can we afford that?
Dummy, it's because there's no way you can make it into the top 20% of your class.
That's still pretty shocking.
You won't even buy me a used scooter.
That's enough from you.
Don't think it's impossible and put in your best effort.
Even if you don't make it into the top 20%,
there are a lot of other prizes.
It's fine! None of that makes sense!
Plus, none of that's for me even if I do well.
I'm just doing her a favor.
If I get a car, I'm still underage, so you can drive me around.
What?
You must really like that one.
Pretty nice, isn't it?
- What, enough of-- - Yes, it is pretty enticing.
It's worth trying.
What?
See, why not? She says it's okay.
We need to first run some tests,
so please set that up in the exam room.
That must be the new machine.
Yup, a heart rate monitor.
The documents you requested.
Thank you. You can leave them here.
Sure.
You're testing the machine yourself?
Yes. It's the newest model,
so it has a lot of features.
You can get the heart rate separately here.
I'm extremely normal.
Yes, I see...
- Doctor Yoon-- - Yes?
Have you gone to the dentist? The dentist?
What?
Not yet...
Then I'll make an appointment for you at the place I mentioned.
It's okay! Later--
Later...
So it's true...
What is?
That you're scared of the dentist.
What? Nah!
You are scared!
What are you doing?
I can't believe my eyes.
My goodness...
How can a doctor be afraid of the dentist?
No, that's nonsense...
Let's work hard.
Do you really want those prizes?
Well, I am a bit motivated.
Please help me win a car.
Yes, well...
Did you think I would say that?
I'm gonna have to do horribly
so you won't win a prize and put my family in debt.
As you wish.
Open up your book.
Strong doubts about the present or future,
or about the impossible, is what this is describing.
So look here.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm just going to watch silently.
Jong Suk does better when I'm watching him.
Nonsense. Follow me!
Try solving this one.
The period of modern Korean.
Modern Korean evolved between the 17th and 19th centuries into the Korean we use today.
Don't go home and just sleep. Make sure you review it again.
- Okay? - No, I'm going to sleep.
A few days later
Yes!
Please sign this.
Is this for the health insurance agencies?
Yes.
Oh, also, you have a 2 o'clock appointment with the dentist today.
What?! What for?
You didn't even ask me!
Your sister asked me to do so.
Just go to the dentist already.
Look at your cheeks.
They're so swollen.
I'm a bit busy today...
I know you don't have any house calls or afternoon appointments.
Let's go together, okay?
If you don't go this time,
I'm going to tell everyone at the clinic.
Yoon Gye Sang?
Yes?
Come on in.
Please take a seat here.
Hello.
You can relax.
Let's take a look. Please open your mouth.
This is pretty bad, it must have been very painful.
One moment.
Hold on!
Actually, I'm a doctor too.
I see...but why...?
But I have something to take care of.
So next time. I'm sorry!
Wait! Sir!
Why are you out already?
Doctor Yoon!
- Is he done? - No.
He said he had something to take care of...
Doctor Yoon!
What are you doing?
Let's go back inside!
No...no...
How can you just leave after coming all this way?
Let's go back in.
Hold on! Hold on!
- What is it? - I confess.
I had a traumatic experience at the dentist before.
So I don't think I can go in there.
I heard about that too.
That was when you were very young.
You're so much older now!
Plus you're a doctor now!
It's not a matter of how old I am!
There's a part of our brains that holds our fears,
and it's controlled by the subconscious, so it's out of my control--
You're talking too much!
I'll take care of it. Let's go now!
Jin Hee!
- Why are you doing this? - Let's just go in.
Jong Suk got his scores!
306,000th out of 620,000 students? Wow, this well?!
Ahn Jong Suk,
it's pretty incredible!
Seriously. See!
You can do it if you just try.
So then what percentile does this put him in?
In the 49th percentile.
So then you're going to Europe!
Wow, you got lucky!
The Europe trip was the 50th percentile, right? Not the 40th?
50th is right.
Are you really going to send me on the trip?
Of course. We made a promise.
Of course. We have to keep our promise.
How long do you want to go for?
It's fine, I was just kidding.
Yeah, you don't have to.
What do you mean?
We made a promise.
How long do you want to make your trip?
She should go for at least 10 days...
Western or Eastern Europe?
It's really okay. You can just take me out for a nice dinner.
No.
Let's go to the travel agency while we're at it.
Yeah, let's go. Come with us.
I'm really okay.
I have to go meet my friends right now anyways.
Then meet us there after.
We'll be there.
Yeah, we'll be waiting, so meet us there.
Do you need to change?
Yeah...
You too, honey.
What do you think? This place is better since it doesn't look like a real dentist office, right?
Well...
Yoon Gye Sang--
Please follow me.
Don't run away again.
What? Are you going to run away again?
Do you want me to go with you?
We'll begin now.
Please open your mouth just a bit wider.
Wow, it must have hurt a lot.
This will be over very quickly.
So wait just a little bit.
Just a little bit more. A bit more.
You're almost done.
So you need to be a little more specific as to what you're looking for.
Should we go with this one?
If you want...
But isn't it a bit...?
What do you mean by that?
Don't do it. I really don't want to go.
- No, it's a promise we made. - We promised you!
No, it's really okay.
- Why not? -You have to go!
I really don't need to go.
- No! Miss, how about Eastern Europe? - Yeah, we should go with that one.
How much is that one?
Why are you pushing me? We'll look at the Eastern Europe one!
You can buy me a nice dinner instead.
Why not? Why is she so strong?
Seriously.
Come on, we want to reward you somehow for your hard work!
Another time.
Another time will be fine.
Why are you being like this?
Did you buy Ji Won her trip?
We tried to but look at her! She keeps pushing us!
- Why not? We promised you. - I'm really okay.
So please go inside and rest.
You're really stubborn!
Next time, next time.

He broke up with his girlfriend?
He broke up with her to be with me.
Actually, I liked you the moment I saw you.
I have a new boyfriend! We're going on a date!
I think we're destined for each other.
It's a good thing I told him I liked him.
It's not like you can see inside other people's hearts.
You have to tell them you like them.
If you stay silent, they'll never know. That would be only your loss.
Hey, Ha Sun! Don't just lie there. Let's go out somewhere together!
Let's go watch a concert and eat some good food, OK?
