What did you just say?
You punk.
Did you just call me "trash"?
Yes.
Since you're blaming me for something that you did.
Tell me the truth...
...about what actually happened.
Sorry.
My words were a bit harsh, weren't they?
I was just taken aback.
No one has ever misunderstood me like this.
It's nothing.
Junwoo, that punk, said he's coming. But what's taking him so long?
I need to go home.
Junwoo.
You can be honest with me.
Actually, I already know about it.
Did you see Mr. Son's watch that was here?
He probably took it with him.
He wasn't wearing it though.
Did you see him?
You should've told me.
I just wanted to pull a prank on Son Jaeyoung.
So I was going to hid it.
It must be that punk.
That delivery boy...
I'm sure he stole it.
-No way. -What do you mean?
I saw him touching things here, acting like he was cleaning up.
That thief.
Sanghoon, I'll go talk to him.
Let go. I'll go ask him.
Let me go and ask.
He's in my class.
Junwoo, wait.
That's when I thought this.
"It already happened,"
"so I shouldn't let it get worse."
Instead...
...I thought I should find a way to help you.
You idiot.
Do you actually think it'd still be there?
I'm sure he'd already stashed it in his pocket or underwear.
Junwoo would never do such a thing.
What do you mean he wouldn't?
I heard he was forced to transfer to our school because of theft.
The rumors have already spread.
I knew there were something off about his looks.
But...
...it looks like Jo Sanghoon already told everything to the teachers.
Even the fact that I know about it.
Jo Sanghoon...
I'm sorry, Junwoo.
I didn't think it would blow up like this.
But...
...what I get instead, is you suspecting me.
I'm "suspecting" you?
It's not a suspicion though.
I saw you.
What on earth are you talking about?
I thought maybe you were in a bit of a situation.
You must have your reason...
...for acting the way you are right now, too.
Hey, Choi Junwoo!
Is that you, Junwoo?
You need to submit your letter of apology. Why didn't you come see me?
You didn't pick up my calls either.
Come here.
Come here, quick!
Are you going to tell Mr. Oh?
About what you're thinking.
Who knows...
(Lee Kitae)
Please leave a message after...
Why isn't he picking up?
Are you all right?
That must've hurt.
Haven't you left for cram school?
How could I?
Knowing you're here like this.
(Letter of Apology)
I kept thinking, but I've done nothing wrong to apologize for.
My goodness.
You...
This is unexpected.
You have quite a talent. This ladybug is drawn very well.
But you still...
need to submit your letter of apology.
So please write another one.
If I submit this, I'll get in trouble.
Here.
But I really have nothing to write about.
Also, don't think about transferring just yet.
Junwoo.
As you already know,
I'm just an assistant homeroom teacher.
If a big problem like this comes up while I'm filling in,
and a transfer student gets transferred to another school,
meanwhile the other students get distracted,
and are paying less attention in class,
what do you think will happen to me?
Just try to think simply, sir.
A new transfer student is moving again because of personal reasons.
No, I can't think like that. The situation we're in is different.
Junwoo. First, the letter of apology...
Junwoo, you need to write something instead of doodling.
Why did I get this?
Okay? Go write a new...
Junwoo. Hey, Choi...
Gosh, this brat.
Choi Junwoo!
Wait.
Write a proper letter of apology.
Okay?
Come on. Get back here.
Junwoo... Hey, no! Wait!
Gosh, it's so hot. My feet are killing me.
Good, you made a wise decision. Here.
Yes, that's right.
Come here.
Good.
Gosh, I can't wear these. Hey.
Gosh, Oh Hankyeol. He's just a substitute teacher, after all.
Hey, Choi Junwoo! Hey!
Jo Sanghoon, do you know what happens,
when you just rely on your smart brain and not put in any efforts?
You'll become stupid, you brat.
Even when that happens,
I'll still be better at math than Hwiyoung.
Don't be like that.
Stop making fun of Hwiyoung.
Well, he shouldn't get those questions wrong.
It's because he knows he's doing something wrong.
Hwiyoung.
Are you all right?
By the way, didn't what Hwiyoung said earlier make you cringe?
"We shouldn't have any prejudice against Junwoo."
"I'd like us to trust him and be his source of strength"
Hey, Kwon Daheen.
If you keep that up, Subin might end up punching you.
Why would I punch her?
I told you Hwiyoung and I aren't dating.
We just went to the same kindergarten.
But I do agree with what Hwiyoung said earlier.
I thought we should've tried to find a way to help Junwoo.
Look up.
Why am I so pretty?
Girls, look at Subin.
Why?
Wow! Subin, you look so pretty.
Wait, what time is it now?
Yoo Subin, are you going to keep this up?
Do you know how much the tutor, my friend introduced us to, charges?
If you miss the session today, that tutor won't teach you anymore.
Yoo Subin.
Hey!
My mom is too much.
Is something wrong?
Do you have a tutoring session?
Math?
Who's this tutor?
How much?
I really don't want to do it, but my mom keeps...
Girls, I've have to leave.
-Bye, see you tomorrow! -What?
Bye, Subin.
Take care!
Stop bumping into things!
What's this?
Getting good grades makes your life even more difficult, right?
My mom has totally given up on me.
She's already grateful that I'm going to school.
I'm going to leave too.
Romi, I thought you don't have your tutoring session today.
I'm going to a spa with my mom.
Bye.
Mom, please. I really don't want a tutor.
I'll study hard on my own. Please?
And that's the result of you studying hard?
Until when will you just get an A for your math?
Mom, please.
If you keep this up, I'm going to go talk with Hwiyoung's mom.
I'll ask her to help you join his math class.
No, please don't. I'll go. I'll go now.
Get there in 10 minutes.
Not a minute later.
How can I get there in 10 minutes?
Why can't you?
That building is right in front of your school.
Are you not at school now?
No. I am at school.
I'm on my way. Okay, bye.
Gosh, I really hate this.
Everyone who studied with that tutor got into Seoul National University.
Having a good career is so important to her.
Oh, no! This is bad. I can't get there in 10 minutes.
Gosh.
You again?
Yes,
it's me again.
Oh, right!
Hey, where are you heading to right now?
-My part-time job. -Where? Is it far?
It's right there. Then let's turn this around.
I'm in a big rush now. Let me borrow this.
No, you can't. I live far from here.
I'll make sure to bring it back. I'm sorry!
-I'm borrowing this! -I have to go home later.
I live far from here.
Hey!
Sorry!
My house is really far from here.
Your mother said your goal is getting into Seoul National University.
Well, that is what my mom wants.
I'd be thankful if I could just get accepted into any university,
with the major I want.
I understand.
So you should study harder, and aim for SNU like your mother's wish...
But I know, Ma'am.
That I won't get in even if I try my best.
I'm not that smart.
And I don't want to get stressed out by such an unrealistic goal.
But I've already discussed this with your mother.
Ma'am.
I heard all the students that you've taught so far got accepted to SNU.
I've heard a lot about how amazing you are.
I wouldn't want to...
...leave a stain on your perfect record.
I'll talk to my mom so that she understands.
Thank you for your time today.
Yes! Yoo Subin, you did a good job.
Did he left already?
Gosh, you startled me.
What are you doing here?
To see what you're looking at.
Here.
Oh my bike...
Thanks.
I skipped the after-school study and was hanging out with some girls.
And I suddenly got a call from my mom...
...and had to be somewhere in a hurry.
Thanks for returning it.
Bye.
Did you think I wouldn't return it?
I was going to return it tomorrow at school if I didn't see you tonight.
Tomorrow, I won't be here.
Didn't you say you're coming till tomorrow?
Well...
...I'm thinking not to come.
That's right.
Is this what you call doing research?
I did my best.
A reference list needs more than just book titles and author names.
I wrote down the publishers too.
You have to specify where exactly each quote is from.
Haven't you done this before?
Anyway,
do it again by tomorrow.
I told you I'm not coming tomorrow.
That's your problem.
Shouldn't you take responsibility for your part before leaving?
Just like how I took responsibility and came here to return your bike.
Don't tell me you're planning to disappear after putting our group in trouble.
That's so irresponsible.
You heard that I'm the queen of performance assessments, right?
Now that I've accepted you into our group,
shouldn't you at least show some...
Here.
Eyes.
Do you have something in your eyes?
Let me see.
I'll take a look at your eyes.
No. Not mine.
Here.
Geez.
He should've told me earlier.
Hey, I...
I have something I want to ask you.
Well...
A pack of One Day, please.
I'll get going.
Thanks for your bike.
What is it?
The thing you want to ask me.
Well...
Did you...
...really...
...steal that math teacher's watch?
I guess not.
Bye.
Why?
Why do you think I didn't steal it?
I thought maybe you were in a bit of a situation.
You must have your reason...
...for acting the way you are right now, too.
Hwiyoung is studying.
Father, you're home.
What were you doing?
Sorry?
Why are you awkwardly standing here?
Is it still so hard to stay in your seat?
No. I was looking for a workbook.
Where's your mock exam results?
-They're coming out tomorrow. -He did a good job again.
What was his name?
That son of Mr. Jo at my company...
Jo Sanghoon. He's in Class 1.
Yes, Jo Sanghoon. That smart kid.
You...
...be careful of kids like him.
Commoners who have nothing else but their good brains.
They're the scariest.
I was one of them too.
I had nothing but my brain to rely on...
...while struggling to climb this high.
I'm not asking for much.
Just do as well as your big brother, okay?
Okay.
Open the door.
Open up. Open the door!
Open it.
Hey!
You do know how hard I worked to get you that teacher...
...right?
Who says you can do whatever you like?
I don't feel comfortable with one-on-one tutoring.
Are you seriously...
Does it even matter if you feel comfortable or not, right now?
Just look at your grades.
What's wrong with my grades?
I'm 28th in my year. Is it that bad?
Other kids would get praised by their parents...
...if they bring home the same results.
Are you like other kids?
Is it okay for you to enter just any university in Seoul...
...like those kids?
Subin...
...do you have any idea how difficult it is for women to succeed in this society?
Do you think you can start at the same level as men?
Never.
That's why, from your family, parents, wealth, and education to looks,
everything counts as your weapon and asset.
You have everything. What do you lack, really?
Tell me what it is that you lack.
All you have to do now is study.
Work hard for two years and enter Seoul National University,
and you can do whatever you want by then. I'll leave you alone.
What's the problem? Have I ever asked you for anything else?
I only want you to study.
How hard can that be? Did I tell you to go and earn money?
Women can't compete against men in this society!
Subin, listen!
We have to work a hundred times harder!
Let's hear what you have to say.
I'll work hard.
Go study.
-When is Dad coming home? -Why? What about him?
You talk to him on the phone every day. Why are you even asking?
He'll be home when his seminar is over.
Do you think you can study less if he's home?
Don't be ridiculous.
Don't take too long in the shower. It'll make you drowsy.
I'll be checking on you at 1am.
Okay.
Here.
Geez.
There's nothing I can do now.
Thanks for returning it.
Bye.
What's so precious about that bike?
It was a piece of junk.
(The Bare Tree)
(Reference List, reorganize like this!)
She has nice handwriting.
Why do you think I didn't steal it?
For two reasons.
First of all, you seem a bit...
...too slow to steal something from others.
More importantly, I think you'll find stealing itself so bothersome.
Did you almost smile again?
What is your name again?
Gosh, do I really have to go tomorrow?
I don't want to go though.
(Choi Junwoo)
I really don't want to go.
I really, really don't want to go.
Hurry up, Jeonghu!
My mom isn't home today!
Junwoo, wait up for me!
(Cheonbong Library)
Choi Junwoo.
You're here early.
I have something to do.
What is it?
Some research.
For the performance assessment.
You're leaving tomorrow. So what's the point?
I might not leave tomorrow.
Then when are you leaving?
Who knows...
This punk is playing with me.
I see.
Ma Hwiyoung.
What?
Don't worry.
About what?
I won't tell anyone.
Hey, Junwoo.
You're early today.
Good morning, Hwiyoung.
I'm in charge of the late students today.
-Take care of the class for me. -Okay.
Junwoo, don't you have something to say to me?
You little punk. How could you just run away like that yesterday?
Hwiyoung, you can go. You come with me.
Over there.
What?
-It's the vice-principal. -What?
Hey, Jun...
Go on.
Your payment went through.
Thank you.
Yes?
Near the school.
Now?
No, I got it. I'll be there right away.
Okay.
Hi, Kitae.
-Hi, Soye. -What are you doing?
I was getting a book bound.
The thing is...
...something came up, so I have to go.
-I'm sorry. -What is it?
Hwiyoung?
(Philosophy, Literature, Linguistics)
(Letter of Apology)
Junwoo, can you fill this out first,
then study. Okay?
And during this important era appears a great figure.
Let's look at this next time.
-Okay. -Thank you.
-Have a good day.
I'm so hungry.
Why don't you go eat some grass?
Like a goat.
-Do you want some? -No.
Daheen is dieting lately.
Because she gained 500 grams.
Goodness me, Kwon Daheen. Why are you living like that?
What's so important about looking pretty to others?
It's not for others.
Just Ohje.
Ohje's ideal type is...
...extremely skinny girls.
Jung Ohje, do you...
No. Don't say anything.
What is it, Subin?
Never mind.
He's so handsome.
What are you looking at this time?
Looks like the transfer student is not coming.
Choi Junwoo?
What if he got arrested or something?
He said he was transferring. I guess he already left.
He's really a man of his words.
He kept his promise.
Shouldn't you take responsibility for your part before leaving?
Ma Hwiyoung.
Yes, Chanyeol. What is it?
Did the transfer student really leave?
Is he not coming?
Junwoo?
Who knows...
He should've at least told us that he was really leaving.
Geez.
Choi Junwoo, that loser.
After all that talking.
He really didn't come.
You came.
Oh, right.
About the references...
(The Bare Tree)
I checked all the cited parts,
but with some of them,
I couldn't figure out the sources no matter how hard I searched.
Geez! Choi Junwoo, this punk.
Move. Let me see.
The transfer student was a thief, after all.
My gosh, I'm impressed.
Oh, my. The transfer student has got some nerve.
My gosh, you dirty thief.
You're really something.
Hey, where's my watch?
Oh, here it is.
Junwoo,
didn't you already transferred to a different school?
I thought you did.
Kitae,
what's going on?
We opened Junwoo's locker thinking he had transferred...
I actually asked to switch to this locker because the corner one is inconvenient.
But we found...
Gosh, how much would this cost?
Why did you open it in front of everyone?
Well, I didn't expect to find this in his locker.
How did you know I wasn't coming here today?
What?
I...
...only told Subin about it.
I didn't tell anyone.
But you guys knew that today would be my last day.
We didn't see you in the morning, so we thought...
Kitae, you were misinformed.
Junwoo is leaving tomorrow.
I see. I guess I was confused.
Guys. Let's go.
They're coming.
My goodness.
You've already decided to leave our school,
so I don't even know how we should handle this.
In any case,
Mr. Oh, handle it well so it doesn't get out of control.
-As for our students... -Yes, sir.
...make sure they don't spread any rumors.
-Sir. -Understood, sir.
Yes?
Hi, Hwiyoung.
I just spoke to Mr. Son on the phone.
He said he'll just let it go.
-Really? -Seriously?
Yes.
He told me to just bring the watch to him.
Hwiyoung, you're...
...such a skillful negotiator!
Wow. He should become a diplomat.
Yes, totally. That'd be perfect for him.
Junwoo.
It's all sorted out now, so don't worry.
Hwiyoung never lets us down. He's the pride of our school.
What's been sorted out?
We haven't even caught the one who put it in my locker.
Would you look at that. Mr. Son said he'd kindly forgive you.
He doesn't need to forgive me.
Junwoo, why are you being like this?
I've done nothing...
...to be forgiven for.
What...
My goodness.
Ma Hwiyoung.
Did you really have to go this far?
What?
I'm leaving this school anyway.
You could've just let me go quietly.
Why did you do that?
What are you talking about?
You're out of line.
I think I've done my best to help you.
It figures.
What can I expect from kids like you.
You're all the same.
Today, we'll be learning about the coastlines of Korea.
As you guys already know,
all of the three coastlines respectively has different characteristics.
First of all, let's talk about the east coast.
It's relatively simple, right?
Then what about the western and southern coastlines?
They're complex. Very complex.
Why?
Because all the mountain ranges point toward the sea...
Next, you can see it here.
Ms. Bae, I have a question.
Yes. What is it, Hwiyoung?
From the last assignment...
The last assignment?
The one about volcanoes?
In the case of basaltic lavas,
they have a low viscosity, which means they're more fluid.
Therefore, basaltic volcanoes have gentle slopes.
Okay?
Great. Now, let's take a look at the exercises below.
-Go! -You got this!
-You can do it! -Faster!
-You got this! -Run faster!
Where's Jo Sanghoon?
Sanghoon? He's over there.
Sanghoon! Jo Sanghoon!
-Go, team! -Faster!
Jo Sanghoon.
What are you doing here?
Did you really see it?
-See what? -Me stealing the watch at the academy.
What?
Did you see it?
-Go! -Go for it!
All right. Now, let's learn...
-...about Ulleungdo and Dokdo. -Hey!
-You, over there! -Ulleungdo...
-It's the transfer student. -...has been...
Guys, what are you doing?
Hey, isn't the one in the white T-shirt Jo Sanghoon?
And isn't that the transfer student?
-The transfer student? -It's the transfer student.
Guys, go back to your seats!
-Go! -Go for it!
Doesn't Sanghoon run super fast?
He was the fastest one in my class back in middle school.
Right? He's super fast.
Hey, look at that.
-What's with him? -Get the baton from him.
Hey, stop. Hey!
-Hey, Jo Sanghoon! -Hey!
You need to pass the baton to me!
Guys!
Stop chasing me! I'm exhausted.
I asked you if you saw me stealing the watch.
How fast can you run?
Hey, what are they doing?
The PE teacher is watching. Get back inside.
I think they're fighting.
- What are they talking about? - Hey!
Ms. Bae. They look like they're fighting.
I think I should go break them up.
No, you're not going anywhere. Go back to your seat.
-It's dangerous. -Guys, go back to your seats.
Hey, Pilsang and Godong.
Did you see me doing it?
Is that Ma Hwiyoung said?
Yes.
Hwiyoung, that jerk...
Hey, Choi Junwoo!
Get me a Popsicle on your way back!
I want a Popsicle!
What are they doing?
-We're not sure. -Guys! What are you doing?
My gosh, the PE teacher. The PE teacher saw us.
All right, guys. Let's get back to where we were.
What do we do about them?
Where were we?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's okay, Hwiyoung. All right, let's look at the next page.
In winter, the air masses from Siberia...
Come here.
Hey, you punk!
Gosh, I'm so forgetful.
Ma Hwiyoung.
That transfer student is quite something. He's super fast.
What did Choi Junwoo say?
Apparently, you told him...
...that I saw him do it.
I did.
Interesting.
Why are you here? I don't want to play with you anymore.
My shoes are all wet because of you.
You punk, didn't I already told you?
What do you mean?
That I saw it too.
Are you happy now, Transfer Student?
Didn't I do a good job?
Here I go. Gosh.
Are you leaving?
No matter what?
Yes.
Earlier...
...I saw you running on the field like crazy. What was that about?
When you're leaving anyway.
I was curious...
...why they did that.
Saying they saw something they didn't.
Saying they didn't do something they did.
Is that it?
You were curious?
Curious? What nonsense.
I can see that you're pissed off.
You got stepped on, so you're reacting!
What you're doing right now is running away.
Fine, leave then. You don't look cool at all.
Hey!
Choi Junwoo!
Fine! Run away!
I'm in front of the school gate. Come out.
Subin!
What's going on?
Let's go.
-Where are we going? -Let's go!
Did you find me another tutor?
Another one already?
Why are we at Hwiyoung's house?
Subin, carry this.
Gosh, what is all this?
What are we doing right now?
Just follow me.
Who is it?
Hello, I'm here to see Mrs. Park.
-"Mrs. Park"? -Stay, or you won't get any pocket money.
Pick it up.
Right now.
-Sorry for making you wait. -No, it's fine.
Why do you bring so much every time?
-Come on in. -Okay.
-Have a seat. -Sure.
I was talking to my eldest son on the phone.
He's in the US, remember?
Of course.
I'm sorry for showing up so suddenly.
Not at all. I understand.
You must feel worried with the midterm exams coming up.
By the way, Subin, you've become so much prettier.
This is bad.
When the girls become prettier,
the boys can't focus on studying.
Thank you.
So you want her to join Mr. Son Jaeyoung's class?
Yes.
No matter how hard I look,
I can't seem to find a better math teacher than him.
That's true.
I talked to Mr. Son, and he said we need your permission.
My goodness. He's exaggerating.
Why would you need my permission?
As long as you're good enough to join the class.
You're aware that you need to pass the level test, right?
Of course.
I...
Nonetheless...
Nonetheless?
We all know that nothing will be done without your permission.
Geez.
I'll count on you, Mrs. Park.
Sure. I'll talk to Mr. Son.
Thank you.
-I appreciate it. -I'm home.
You're back, son?
Subin and her mom are here.
How have you been?
Hi, Hwiyoung.
You've become so handsome.
Your son is perfect.
What are you talking about? He has a long way to go.
I love your dress.
I bought it recently...
That crazy wench.
She thinks she's some sort of a queen.
She's nothing without her husband and sons.
How obnoxious.
If we had met 20 years ago,
she wouldn't have even dared to talk to me. Darn it.
She graduated from a university no one has heard of. Geez.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand.
This kind of humiliation doesn't last long.
I had no other choice.
We have to take extraordinary measures,
-if we let you be... -I'm sorry, Mom.
What?
I'm sorry I'm not a top student like Hwiyoung,
and made you lower yourself.
Ma Hwiyoung.
I'm glad you're here.
Even though you'll never meet Mr. Son again...
...you probably should end it well.
You said this earlier...
..."Kids like you".
What did you mean...
...by that?
That?
Well...
Which school are you transferring to?
I'm moving to Onyang.
My mom works there.
"Kids like you"?
Well, kids like you are...
...nothing special.
You're living and breathing...
...but even if you keep on living like this...
...I wonder if there's any hope for you.
"Whatever".
You're okay with however people treat you?
You just live.
Because you were thrown into this world without any kind of blessing.
Because you still breathing.
Because you don't even have the guts to disappear.
I pity...
...kids like you.
What about you?
Don't you pity yourself?
Why would I?
I'm different from you.
Get going.
You also asked me this, didn't you?
You were leaving anyway.
I could've just let you go quietly, so why?
Why did I have to go this far?
Because you offended me.
You were making a big thing out of nothing...
...when you could've quietly disappeared.
How dare you...
...do it to me.
Does that answer your questions?
All of them?
Yes, Mom.
Have you packed your bags?
You should pack lightly for now.
I'll go over there on Sunday and get the rest of your stuff.
I visited the school you'll be going to this afternoon, and it seemed really nice.
Just forget everything,
and when you come here, you should just focus on your studies, okay?
You have to go to a nice university and succeed...
...so when I meet you dad later, I can brag to him about you.
"Dad"?
Where does he live?
Have you been keeping in touch?
Of course, we have.
Didn't I tell you?
He lives in Pohang or something because of his work.
Do you know how much he worries about you?
Mom.
I have to go.
I'm on my way home.
Junwoo...
Mom, you think I don't know where he lives, don't you?
I know.
Where his house is.
Now that I'm thinking of leaving...
...I feel I have more courage.
The courage to see him once before leaving.
The man who brought me into this world...
...without any blessing.
Choi Myeongjun.
Who is it?
Excuse me...
We're not finished with our jjajangmyeon yet.
Tell him we'll put out the bowls in half an hour.
We'll put out the bowls in half an hour.
Can I help you?
Don't you...
...recognize me?
What?
I think you came to the wrong house.
Daddy!
Did you have fun today?
I want this.
By any chance, are you Mr. Choi Myeongjun?
No, I'm not.
Okay.
By any chance,
are you Mr. Choi Myeongjun?
Choi Myeongjun?
No.
This stop is Busan, Busan Station.
The doors are on your right.
This stop is...
I thought I had finally found you.
I always wondered...
...what I should say if I met you.
But...
Yes.
Hey.
I was wondering if you got home safely.
I did.
I'm packing right now.
Junwoo.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I just wanted to...
Don't worry about it.
I'll be good when I go there.
No, there's no need.
Even when you come here, you don't have to try so hard.
I'm just happy as long as you're with me.
The ladies in this town are excited to see my handsome son.
You know Aunt Haeyoung, right?
She even made radish kimchi to give you when you arrive.
Also, do you remember Aunt Seonmi? She...
I'm sorry, Mom.
What?
For getting in trouble again.
I wanted to do better this time.
What are you talking about?
It's not your fault.
It's because of those mean jerks.
They think you're a pushover since you don't live with your mother.
Who can I blame?
It's all my fault.
I should've always stayed right by your side.
But I have no choice because of that darned money...
Mom.
Are you crying again?
No. Why would I cry?
Crying means that I've lost.
You better not be upset with yourself...
...thinking that you're running away from that place. Okay?
You're coming here since I'm living here.
To be with me.
Let's live happily here, Junwoo.
I'm...
I'm really happy right now.
Since I can live with my son.
Now, I can make breakfast for you every day...
...and even iron your school uniform for you.
I feel so happy.
Okay.
Good night.
Okay.
What you're doing right now is running away.
Fine, leave then. You don't look cool at all.
Fine! Run away!
I'm running away.
Why do I keep running away from things?
Why must I keep running away?
Is it because I don't care how my life will turn out?
I pity...
...kids like you.
Like me?
I'm sorry, Junwoo.
Because of me...
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry, my son.
Don't cry, Mom.
I can see you're crying.
I'm not crying.
I'm already lying on my bed.
My mom is immature and young.
But she still didn't abandon me and run away...
...even though she was so young back then.
She didn't run away.
(19 days till midterm)
Everyone, I have great news.
On the mock exam, Hwiyoung...
...got an A+...
...for every subject.
Wow!
-Awesome! -Amazing!
-We're proud of you. -Nice!
We're proud of you!
Ma Hwiyoung!
-Ma Hwiyoung! -How does he get such good grades?
I know, right?
-That's amazing! -All right.
-Hwiyoung. -Ma Hwiyoung.
-Well done! -You should say a few words.
Thank you, Mr. Oh.
Don't mention it.
Thanks, guys.
I think I did well because of luck, so I'll study harder.
Let's all do better next time.
All right. Give him a big hand!
You're so cool!
You're cool!
(At Eighteen)
Ma Hwiyoung, don't mess with me.
In teams of two, you'll converse freely in English.
The study leader will randomly pick the teams.
And that was a good call too.
Not running away.
Very good.
If there are any problems, you can feel free to talk to me about it.
-Yes, sir. -That sounded so insincere.
You ruined the assessment for her as well as her English test.
I don't think it's something you can deal with.
For Subin's sake, not for you.
Why do you care about me?
Because I was forced to come here? Or because I look pitiful?
Sure.
That's just how Choi Junwoo is.
