[Episode 18: A Promise]
Oh, it's cracking. It's cracking!
Hey, Baek Woo Jin!
Let's have a word.
Why did you apologize to me last time?
Did you confess to her too?
To Kang Se Ra?
Is all of this because of you?
Is this why she told me no?
I liked her way before you did.
Jae Woong, what do you really know about her?
The legendary offense who made a last place team into first place victors!
That legendary right side hitter... is Coach Kang.
My position is setter, not right...
But the jersey number of the legendary right side hitter was 2
and that's why my jersey number is 2! Did you know that?
The old Kang Se Ra?
Yeah, like you said, I don't know much about that.
But I know about the Kang Se Ra of today.
Kang Se Ra may be your idol...
but to me, Kang Se Ra is...
just Kang Se Ra.
How can your cell phone passcode and your house passcode be the same?
All her passwords are the same so that she doesn't forget.
And when she's stressed, she has no idea if there's a car passing by her.
And she can make a person speechless with her unintelligible speech...
How can I go and just leave you here?
She's someone who makes my heart pound and drives me insane in an instant!
But I love her!
Yes, Jae Woong.
I heard you're having an operation.
Who told you that?
Secretary Kim.
I'm sorry for leaving at such an important time.
Don't worry about us! We'll do great.
Okay, I believe you.
I miss you.
Me too.
Really? Then we should see each other.
Jae Woong!
How did you come here?
I want to help you regain your strength so you can have a successful operation.
A phone call was good enough.
I wanted to check if you were okay in person, so it was right that I came.
Winning is great and all, but don't strain yourself.
Okay.
Go back safely.
Go inside.
Don't cry.
When you cry...
it's not pretty.
You'll miss the last bus.
If I miss it, I can catch the first bus in the morning.
Hwang Jae Woong.
You remember that I turned you down, right?
Of course I remember.
I won't forget it until I die.
You don't listen to a word I say, yet you listen to Woo Jin so well...
What?
Did that mean you had to kick both of us to the curb?
- Who did you hear that from? - Baek Woo Jin, himself.
Woo Jin really told you himself?
Why don't you believe anyone?
Don't worry! I won't confess.
I'll be rejected again, anyway...
I'm really going now.
Don't cry all by yourself!
If you have to cry...
cry in front of me.
Okay?
Ta da!
Wait, what's with your faces? Is something wrong?
Secretary Kim.
Have you seen Jae Woong, by any chance?
Why do you ask?
He left last night and hasn't returned, but he's not answering his phone!
We don't have much time until our next game.
We're in big trouble!
What did you say?
- Kang Se Ra. - Yes, Secretary Kim.
Did Hwang Jae Woong visit you last night by any chance?
- Yes, he was here. - Is he still there?
No, he went back last night.
He hasn't returned! And the match will start soon!
There's no way...
It's only two hours away...
He should have arrived a long time ago.
On a road near Inje, there was a rear-end collision.
Due to a drunk driver, a passenger on the bus was injured
and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The police are still investigating the cause of this incident.
Please, keep this confidential until the operation is successfully completed.
- Hey, of course. - I understand.
Thank you very much.
Kang Se Ra.
Where did you go, Hwang Jae Woong?
Why are you here?
- What about Jae Woong? - Over there.
Are you okay?
That accident was with a different bus
and Hwang Jae Woong's phone was out of battery when he was stuck in traffic.
I thought you would worry, so I kept calling you...
This is one of the reasons you drive our representative insane.
How do you lose your phone every time something catches you off guard?
Did you...
skip your operation to come all the way here for Hwang Jae Woong?
- Daehan! - Let's go, team!
Coach!
Why are you here?
She thought you were in an accident, so she came all the way here.
How could you come here?
What a relief... that you're okay.
Jae Woong.
The game is starting.
We'll play well.
Don't cry.
How could you come here?
I couldn't help myself.
What about the surgery?
Nothing was going through my mind...
except for the thought that I couldn't tell you my true feelings for you.
I thought I was going crazy.
Yes, Representative.
Yes, just a second.
It's our representative.
Yes, Representative.
I thought I knew you well, but I guess I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
I rescheduled your surgery.
Representative...
I already told you...
I can't force you to do anything.
But I can't give up on you either.
No! I won't!
Since your team made it to the finals...
Since you're there already... win the whole thing.
Good work.
Wait, Woo Jin.
Hey, talk to Woo Jin next time.
Go.
We really... made it to the finals.
I told you we could do it!
What about your surgery?
Oh.
Representative rescheduled it for after the finals.
After your surgery... are you going to try for the pro leagues?
Well, we don't know, if it'll be successful or not...
And it'll take some time to recover...
I'll cheer you on, Volleyball Goddess.
I...
want to answer your confession... one more time.
I'll wait.
I'll wait for you, Hwang Jae Woong.
Aren't they the substitute players?
Do you have a hard time seeing? They're not the guys we played before.
Really?
What's wrong with me?
Hyun Sung... does your stomach hurt?
Stop bothering me.
Okay, okay, let's huddle!
- Okay! - Okay!
This is our last game.
- Don't be nervous. - Okay!
You trained hard for this, didn't you?
Let's show them what we've got.
- Daehan! - Let's go team!
[Thumping Spike]
If I become Kang Se Ra's boyfriend, I need to train to prepare for it.
For our training, like in our games... let's go.
- I'll be waiting. - I'll be right back.
To say he brought this team to the finals would be an understatement.
Right now, you're playing like a last place team.
It looks like they are surrendering to Hyunchang High School.
Coming this far was a great accomplishment. Good work, everyone.
My heart, that only raced on the court, is now pounding off the court.
Thanks, guys.
