Episode 13.
Why?
Stay here. I will go out.
Okay.
Kyung Min, go back to your seat.
Stay quiet, guys.
Min Ki... Where is Min Ki?
He just left.
Hey, Oh Jung Ho!
What are you doing, you bastard? Why aren't you running quickly?
Hey, student!
What are you guys doing?
Hello.
Stop there. Stop there!
Stop there!
What is this?
Hello...
Just a second.
What are you guys doing here?
Hey, you can't just...
Teacher, help me grab these guys.
Hey!
Crazy bastards! They should run outside.
Nam Soon!
By chance, did you see Min Ki?
This is Min Ki's. It dropped here.
Min Ki...
I am sorry, Teacher.
I am sorry.
No, it is okay.
Min Ki...
Min Ki, everything is okay.
It is okay.
Essay Exam Question.
Listen to what I have to say...
I will have to check everything to figure out how all this happened.
What is there to check?
It is certain that the question was leaked.
By the way, where did Teacher Jung go?
I don't know.
She left right after you left.
Okay. You can leave.
But do you think Teacher Se Chan leaked the question?
Does that make sense?
It doesn't make sense?
There has to be a reason.
For what reason would Teacher Kang Se Chan leak out the question?
About Min Ki, how do you think he got a hold of the questions?
I am not sure.
I guess he got it from the academy.
You know he goes to an academy in Gangnam.
That academy also knows our school essay questions?
Of course, it doesn't.
But what is there that adults can't do?
I guess.
What should I do because Min Ki is very pitiful?
By tomorrow, there's going to be a rumor spreading all around the school.
It is to keep your hands warm. You were very cold, right?
Min Ki.
Yes.
Why did you drop your backpack?
It was very heavy.
Yeah, it was very heavy, huh?
When I was attending school, it was really heavy.
How did you feel... on the roof?
It was scary.
What was?
I thought it will just drop to the ground, but
I think it took longer than I thought.
I...
I guess I felt that way because I was really going to die earlier on the rooftop.
I am sorry.
Yeah...
Min Ki,
There are times when everyone wants to die.
It isn't wrong to have the thought that you want to die.
Even you wanted to die,
the fact that you endured it was great.
You just climbed a very difficult mountain.
While struggling, you did very well.
So I am very grateful to you and
proud of you.
I thought of the poem.
You said there was no flower that blooms without being shaken.
Teacher,
I'm also just the flower that is being shaken, right?
Teacher, you are also being shaken, right?
It is a relief.
Because you are here.
It is okay.
Oh, man.
What are you doing?
You like it? You ran away alone.
You are losing your skills.
You should have just run throught it, not running away.
Aish!
Hey, Go Nam Soon!
You are not cleaning the library?
Ah... that task is finished already.
Where have you been all this time?
Are you an accomplice?
No. No. No.
3 of you with Oh Jung Ho.
That... About that...
Whether it is true or not,
tonight your seat is right here.
Bring a rag
and wipe it.
Wait here. I'll be right back.
Why did the alarm ring?
To make Teacher Jung mad.
It has ended. Where did you come back from?
I was with Min Ki. He's right outside.
What is with Min Ki?
Let's talk about this later.
What about the essay contest?
Let's talk about that later as well.
You look busy.
This is Min Ki's.
I'm leaving.
Teacher Jung!
Because you are at school on a day like today,
it's a relief.
How did these get leaked?
Aigoo!
How did you know? About Oh Jung Ho causing problems.
That's so obvious.
He seems to have borrowed some money.
from the gang.
That's a mess.
How much?
How am I supposed to know?
You aren't doing this right?
Move over.
Hold on a second.
By the way, why did Oh Jung Ho make trouble?
You guys put the phones back in place?
He brought it back himself.
Then, why did you guys get involved?
Because, Heung Soo has good senses.
That's why you, who has great sense, did so well on the test?
In any case, what you guys need to do tomorrow in the morning is to bring Oh Jung Ho to school.
Since he brought them back, it should be all right. Tell him to come without fear.
Then, he is not going to get in trouble?
Just bring him back by telling him that.
The alarm went off, security knows,
and the cabinet broke as well.
But do I know? This trouble looks big.
If we can cover it, we will. If not, then we can't.
If you don't bring Oh Jung Ho, you guys will be in trouble first.
Yes.-Yes.
You can go.
It's here.
Let's go inside.
I... I can go alone.
Let's go together. I need to see you go inside so I'll feel better.
I'm fine.
Actually, I feel a bit relieved.
Um, Min Ki...
we need to tell your mother about today.
Your Mom has to know how you feel so she can give you more strength.
It will be good if I can talk to her in person.
It will be hard to do it at home.
Then should I give her a call?
I'll tell her.
I don't think it will be easy.
I think it is better for me to tell her.
First, I'll talk to her.
Okay.
Don't put too much effort.
By chance, if you can't do it, text me.
I will tell your mother well and explain to her.
Yes.
Go inside, and as soon as you get into your room,
take a picture as proof and send it to me.
Ah...
yes.
Ok.
Go.
Heung Soo!
I will bring Oh Jung Ho to school.
Okay, then.
Take care.
Hey, Heung Soo.
What now?
Nothing. See you tomorrow.
Idiot punk.
I really wanted to go with that punk.
Teach, thank you.
I'll tell my mom now.
Okay. Fighting, Min Ki. See you tomorrow.
Oh, when did you come in?
A little while ago.
Um, Mom...
You took the essay contest exam well, right?
No.
I didn't take it.
Kim Min Ki!
Mom.
I am very tired now.
Today, just for today, okay?
No...
Okay, tomorrow we'll talk.
Teacher...
I, too...
I'm just a flower that being shaken, right?
Teacher, too...
You are being shaken as well?
I must be crazy.
How can the kid tell his mother about this himself?
Min Ki's Mom, hello! This is Teacher Jung In Jae. Min Ki's homeroo...
No, the teacher who teaches Korean Literature...
Subtitles brought to you by the Classmates Team @Viki.
Yes.
I will come find you tomorrow.
Yes,
Teacher Jung In Jae.
Hyung,
you hear me, right?
I know you hear everything.
I, earlier...
went up to the rooftop of the school.
You have done it as well. Right, Hyung?
Since I went up there,
I also thought that you would do that as well.
If it is not for you,
If it was not for you, Hyung,
I really had these kinds of thoughts so many times.
Everything...
I think I can't do anything because of you.
But Hyung,
to tell you honestly,
I miss you, even then.
If I'm like this,
will it kill Mom?
Hyung,
please just come out now. Okay?
Mom and I are
very lonely.
Oh Jung Ho! Open up!
Hey, Oh Jung Ho! Come out quickly!
Come out quickly, you bastard!
What are you?
Let's go to school.
Why?
They told you to bring the suspect?
Did you tell them all?
No, I did not tell them all, but made a confession.
I heard that you ran away in front of Kang Se Chan.
I won't go.
In any case, I got expelled. Why will I go there?
Why did the bastard who isn't going to school come out with the school uniform?
I am pretending to go, why?
Why did you come back in yesterday night?
You should run away if you broke the cabinet and had cell phones.
Why did the bastard who got expelled and caused trouble come back in again?
Come quickly.
Aish this jerk.
You aren't late?
Yes.
You really like it if I don't take you there?
Of course. Don't worry. I am not a kid.
Okay. Come back well.
The question was leaked? Does this make sense?
Of course, it doesn't.
What are you going to do?
For what?
How are you going to fix this?
I'm not going to fix it.
What kind of power does a teacher have that I should solve this issue?
It isn't like it was I who leaked it.
We started this contest after reporting it to the whole school.
That means someone must have leaked it during that time.
Then aren't I supposed to ask you to be responsible?
Aren't you worried about the aftermath of this situation?
Well, I...
Isn't there any more than firing?
You do things like that well, right?
What is this? Are you like this because of Teacher Jung?
Why?
Is there something stabbing at your conscience?
It has been reported that something happened in the teacher's office.
Oh that...I...that was just a mistake.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Has anything disappeared?
No, there isn't.
Me neither.
How is it that even the office is unsafe now?
How daring are kids these days to think about stealing a teacher's things?
Some kids even stole a teacher's purse.
So now she carries it with her everywhere.
So please be a bit more careful.
So that the kids won't form bad ideas.
Yes.
Teacher Jung In Jae.
We found a replacement for you, Teacher Jung.
I think it will be okay if you just work for 1 week.
Yes.
So...on the paper Kim Min Ki left behind during the exam...
You mean the answer was written right there?
That's what I'm saying.
Kim Min Ki, that skillful guy!
How could he write that fast?
As soon as the competition started...BAM! He put the answers down and left.
Are you stupid? Mi Ki didn't write during the exam, but
brought and turned in the one that was already written.
That was the leaked essay question.
I don't know where Min Ki got it from, but he brought it and placed it on his desk.
Nam Kyung...
You are here?
Yes.
Hey!
Where did you get those questions?
What do you mean where? He probably got them from an academy.
Right?
Yeah. That's right.
What academy is that? I should go there too.
Nam Kyung Min. Do you think Min Ki knew and received them?
Hey, please be quiet. Are you his representative?
Yeah.
Kang Joo...
Min Ki! Min Ki! Where is he going?
Nam Min Kyung, you...!
Are you okay?
How can I be okay?
I guess.
Ignore them.
And at the next event they'll forget completely.
Thank you for yesterday.
For what?
I really hate having to go back into the classroom.
From now on? I really hated it to death since elementary school.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
You feel a bit like this because of the essay contest, right?
Yes.
Even though you have having a hard time right now, I guess you have to hear me scold you.
Yes.
It is wrong to leave early from the Essay Contest just because you got the expected questions in advance.
Even if someone put you to it, or if it was someone else's fault...
Acting upon it even though you know it's not right, that's wrong as well.
Yes.
So then even if the kids complain,
or you're uncomfortable in class... will you endure it for a while?
I am telling you to think of it as taking the responsibility for what you did.
Yes.
You will have a very hard time.
But Min Ki,
if you just endure it, things will be different.
Yes.
And I called your mother.
Even if I were you, I wouldn't be able to say that easily.
But your mother was hurt very much.
Your mother loves you very much, Min Ki.
Min Ki,
everything does pass.
Even things that seem like a big deal will pass.
So being able to endure well while it is passing by...
is the strength.
What happened in the school is being investigated.
The essay contest will be held during our next break.
Didn't you catch the person who leaked the question?
It is being investigated.
And a new Korean Literature teacher will come 1 week later.
That's it for now.
Oh Jung Ho...
You can follow me.
If a new Korean Literature teacher is coming, then did Teacher Jung really quit?
Where is Teacher Kang now?
Um... he went in for the morning assembly.
Teacher Kang?
Yes.
The cabinet was completely torn apart.
By chance, do you know anything?
Ah! That... I...
That's okay. I'll just have to check the CCTV footage.
That... Teacher Uhm...
Haha... uh, for a moment, it was because of his phone, but he returned it.
Was it you?
I wasn't talking about him...
Follow me, Oh Jung Ho.
Oh Jung Ho, what you did last night is against the law.
I know.
You did well. It must've been hard to go put that thing back.
But because I can't just let you off the hook, you have to do 5 more days of volunteer work and a written apology.
You can go.
But why did you come back again?
Were you afraid? That you'd get cut from school?
That wasn't why.
Then...
It's because of Teacher Jung. I was worried that Teacher Jung will really get fired because of me.
I think Min Ki is stable now, but
I was thinking that maybe you and Min Ki should get counseled together...
I will take care of that.
Yes.
Then, I will see to it that you will do so...
Thank you. For taking care of Min Ki.
It was nothing... nothing.
Did you find out?
It's certain that the questions have been leaked. But we still don't know who the victim is.
Min Ki's mom got it from the academy, so just think there's a leak in the school.
Wait just a minute. Where is that academy?
I'll try to find out about it. After all, I have some connections.
See me at home.
Yes.
Don't lose will power, Kim Min Ki. Why are you like that?
Are people talking about you? Do you want to transfer?
No. I'm fine.
Even if I transfer, the rumors will follow me.
It's better if I stay here.
I'm close with the kids so it'll be easier to get by.
Okay, then.
Whatever you want to do in college, do it.
Even though I don't know if it's the right thing.
Really?
That's right. I will reorganize your specs.
Yes.
Even then, you must go to S University.
Mom!
Don't say anything to me.
I need some time too.
Yes.
I am saying this because I think there is some misunderstanding.
Ahh... seriously. This is something I said while I was drunk...
My younger sibling owns an academy in my hometown.
Concerning the essay questions, he said that he wanted to get some information about the Eastern ideas.
Uh huh?
I really didn't know that Kim Min Ki was attending that academy.
If I knew, am I really the type of person to do that?
My dream is to become a principal.
If one wants to become a principal, you have to be very honest and innocent. This is the truth!
I've been doing this teaching thing for so many years...
Yes well, I already assumed this particular situation.
Yes.
In order for academies to thrive, they need to be good at getting information.
Spending various amounts of money... to steal information.
I know right?! This little punk...
If you could just... if you just do me this favor once, I can maybe...
Yeah, I can't cover it up for you.
I can act as a witness to report the bad conducts of these academies.
Ah, I'm so embarrassed.
Ahh... Vice Principal, please...
So that's what happened... The Vice Principal must've had a hard time.
I guess I have to be careful of what I say outside of school.
By the way, Teacher Kang. After class, could you leave some time for me?
Time?
I need to hand over my duties to you. Things that happened over the past few days, you should know what happened. I also organized the duties as a homeroom teacher.
Ah, that... wait a second.
I forgot I had an appointment then, I'm a little busy so...
Teacher Kang...
I feel like this is reality.
Everyone wants to go to S. University and all. A lot of teachers who couldn't become the teachers they wanted to become...
If they can't, what they have to do afterwards... I can't see that. That's why...
Anyways... I have class.
Okay.
It's Teacher Kang! Teacher Kang used to be an academy instructor so he definitely sold the essay theme to an academy!
Because the pay must not be much, I guess he really wanted the extra money.
Of course he would.
He has a great car. The maintenance fee...
I think a lot of you want to say something after the essay contest incident.
A teacher said he talked about the essay question with someone he knew from an academy.
And I guess he didn't seriously think about it being leaked so he just wanted to help out.
That academy is the one Min Ki attended.
Who is that teacher?
For now, just know that it isn't Teacher Kang.
It's just that the other teacher made a mistake.
How can we believe that it was just a mistake?
If you can't believe it, then there's nothing I can do. But please believe us teachers.
Wouldn't it be hard to attend school if you couldn't believe the teachers you saw everyday?
Also, that teacher isn't going to make the same mistake again. He was in shock after this incident.
However, you must not think that all teachers would make a mistake like that.
This is what you call "hasty generalization".
How is that? It goes straight into your mind right?
Also, I want to say something about Min Ki.
Though it's true Min Ki accepted the essay question beforehand, there's something you guys forgot.
That Min Ki gave up that opportunity.
Min Ki could've easily written a good essay with the prompt he was prepared with and gotten a good grade, but he didn't.
Do you think it would've been easy for you guys?
How about we accept the fact that it wasn't an easy thing to do at all?
Well, that's it for today.
It's easy because we started from 8th grade right?
Yes.
We still have 10 minutes.Is there anything you want to do?
Teacher...I want to do a poem.
Please teach me how to write a poem.
Okay.
That's a good idea.
Shall we do one then?
What's the point of starting it now?
Please let us go.
For now, it's important that we at least start.
It's not difficult to write a poem.
Things you've experienced, or things that you think of in your mind, or
emotions... You can start writing with these basic things.
Starting now, let's write about the first thing that comes to your mind.
Hmm... you can't think of anything?
Studying is hard.
Very hard.
I... I like poems.
That's good.
I want to eat ramen.
"I want to eat ramen."
Hmm... there's another "I want to eat ramen" here.
Jung Ho, what about you?
I didn't do it.
If you don't write one, you can't go.
Ah, you've worked hard.
Hey.
See you later, good job today.
Anything. Try writing just one line of anything.
I sent it to you. I can go now, right?
Why did you write that you wanted to eat ramen?
Am I the only one who wrote that? Let's just eat.
Hey,
we need to take a picture for proof.
Ah, that's right.
Picture for proof...
Aigoo.
Hold the ramen.
Get lost.
Go over there.
Hello.
Then why are you calling me?
How much?
Okay, I'm hanging up.
Oh Jung Ho said he just got caught by the gang members.
He said 300,000 won is how much he owes them.
He really piled it up...
What are you going to do?
Oh Jung Ho, that little bastard... seriously...
What are you going to do there? It's his fault for gathering that debt.
But we have to at least get him out of there.
Go first. I'll be there soon.
What about Nam Soon?
I don't know, punk.
What are you doing here? You said you wouldn't come.
How can I not come?
Anyways, Oh Jung Ho... seriously...
Let's go in quickly.
Let's go in quickly, let's go.
I don't know. We gotta go. Come on.
Late fees. Please do not touch!
F***ing bast***.
Get up.
Jung Ho!
Hey! Assho*e!
I'm seeing you often.
Is this school? You wanna study?
Let him go. We'll pay you back later.
You should pay it back immediately.
Only then would we let him go.
Just wait a few days.
Then, you should just pay the interest today.
We said we don't have any money!
What do you guys use your bodies for?
Just get beaten up the amount you owe today.
Hey, Oh Jung Ho!
What is this?
Are you telling us to take coins?
I heard there's more than 300,000 won.
Take this and leave him alone.
Late fees. Do not touch!
Hey, Go Nam Soon.
Is that the late fees and punishment fees?
Yeah.
What are you going to do then?
Exactly. Three days. I'm giving you three days to pay it back.
I dare you to try running away then.
I'll take 50,000 won from each of you.
Leave it. I'll pay it back myself.
This little punk...
We'll go now.
Let's pay it back together!
Thank--
you.
Where did you learn that?
I learned it from you, punk.
My ramen, aish...
Here, the class administration book.
Today... did you know Oh Jung Ho wrote a poem?
A poem?
Saying what?
What changes by writing one line of a poem?
What a masterpiece.
Oh Jung Ho wrote a poem...
It's a relief.
He seems like he has a bit of skill.
Stop there with that kind of stuff.
Yes.
Subtitles brought to you by the Classmates Team @Viki.
You came early.
Don't be late from now on. And please, study from now on.
Teacher, about writing a poem...
Can other teachers teach us how to write one too?
Only if you guys want.
Can they teach as well as you?
Yeah.
Can those teachers make Oh Jung Ho write a poem too?
I heard he wrote a line yesterday.
It's so loud in the classroom these days, because everyone's whining about you not being there.
Everyone's nervous because you might or might not quit. Are you seriously going to leave?
So selfish.
How can an adult waver over her students?
I'll be going in first.
Hey!
It's Teacher Jung's last day today.
Really?
She's really leaving?
A week hasn't passed yet though...
When the weekend passes, it's been a week.
What are you doing?
Why?
You said you're the president.
So?
Are you seriously not going to do anything?
I don't know.
Guys.
Well...
Ah, it's so freaking loud!
I wanted to gather your opinions.
If you oppose Teacher Jung leaving...
I oppose, President!
Now he seems like a president.
What's already been decided, why are you trying to change it?
He's just trying to see how far we can go.
I'm satisfied with just Teacher Kang.
I don't like it changing back to Teacher Jung.
Who said we're chasing out Teacher Kang?
We're just saying it would be nice to have both of them like before.
To be honest, if I were to choose between the two of them,
I would pick Teacher Jung no matter what.
Teacher Kang is so... cold.
Me too.
That's why, that opinion...
Vote.
I'll telling you to make them raise their hands.
Ahh...
Oh.
Let's see the number of hands.
All in favor of Teacher Jung's return, raise your hands.
How was the class?
This was your last one, right?
Yes.
Teacher Uhm...
I don't have any classes now. Is it okay if I left a little early?
We have to give you a proper farewell...
No... it's because that's burdensome.
I'll go finish up.
So that you won't grow weary,
so that you won't give up. Any stuggles you face,
I hope you overcome them.
When it gets too difficult, when you get too tired,
behind you, I'll offer you my back.
I'm saying, with me, you could let down all of your baggage.
Don't think you're alone. Don't cry because it's difficult.
You and I... we know.
When you lean on me, and you can hold it out in the world,
you've given me an amazing dream.
That's it for today. You did a good job.
We...
gathered our opinions.
Opinions?
This is the kids' opinions.
It would be best if you let Teacher Jung return to her original position.
In favor of Teacher Jung staying as their homeroom teacher,
26 kids raised their hands.
Well I don't know.
It's a bit late.
Her resignation request has already been processed and it's a bit difficult to undo that.
There's nothing stated about a fired joint teacher starting work again.
I mean, even if, say she can come back, does Teacher Jung have the will to work again?
The kids' opinions are like this,
and only if the school approves of this opinions can Teacher Jung
have the chance to think about it.
Just because a 1 year contract teacher pleads for this case,
I don't think it's an issue they'll hear out.
I think I can do something about the processing issue.
And also the issue about the joint teacher,
I don't think that it's such a difficult issue to resolve.
That's right, Vice Principal?
Ah, yes.
Are you seriously--
Oh and also,
finding a teacher like Teacher Jung...
I don't think will be easy... well...
That's just my thoughts...
Well, we'll try to find a solution.
Please go back to your rooms and wait.
Yes.
Wait, wait!
Why are you packing up already?
I'm going to leave a little early.
Wait, wait!
Your term didn't end yet.
I still have a lot of things I'm curious about.
Then, please ask me now.
Well... asking now is a bit...
Guys, we're in big trouble! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
We're done now. Teacher Jung is packing her stuff now.
No way!
Big news! Big news!
Really? We're doomed.
She must really be leaving...
We should've re-voted earlier!
Well it's a relief, that she at least knows what we think before she leaves.
I mean, Teacher Kang must've told her.
Exactly. Instead of doing this, shouldn't we be throwing her a goodbye party?
Hey. Let's collect money.
President, let's collect money!
What money?
We're throwing a party. A goodbye party.
Hey, but what money? Do we have money anyways?
If we had known sooner, we would've prepared earlier.
Oh yeah, what should we do?
What do you mean what should we do? We have the late fees.
Oh yeah! President, the piggy bank is in your locker right?
Hey, let's catch the pig right away.
Even though we can't give her a huge party when she leaves,
we should at least buy her a cake with candles.
Say goodbye to the kids!
Are you going to leave without even saying goodbye first?
That's right. Leave after you properly say goodbye.
How can you just leave like this? You were their homeroom teacher.
That's right. You leaving like this is a bit unfair.
Exactly. Just for a moment.
Just think about it for...
I was just about to say goodbye to you privately.
Why privately?
You've done a great job up to this point.
Principal.
After seeing Class 2 like that,
we tried to find a solution, too, but
it's a bit... difficult.
To be honest... the kids in Class 2...
they even made a petition asking for you to stay.
Oh my.
You almost left without knowing.
I tried to find a way to solve this...
but...
We already finished the contract with the replacement teacher.
Wouldn't it be a bit much if we had three Literature teachers?
No.
There's nothing that would be difficult.
I'll quit.
Right now.
