What are you guys doing?
So the girl you're dating is Subin?
I...
Mom.
I was going to tell you after the final exam...
Subin.
What is this now?
What's this?
What are you doing?
Let go of her!
What is this?
What on earth is happening?!
What do you think are you doing?
Mom.
Go home.
I'll wait downstairs.
Go home. Go.
I said go home! For goodness sake.
Sit down.
Can I ask you something?
Yes.
Did you...
...sleep with Subin here?
Be honest with me.
So that we can deal with it...
...before it's too late.
So?
Did you?
That kind of thing...
...never happened.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you for not being immature.
You probably know what I'm going to say to you.
Don't go out with Subin.
From now on, don't even talk to her.
Yes, just pretend you don't know her.
Because nothing happened between the two of you, right?
Nothing happened whatsoever.
Okay?
Listen, Subin is...
...not someone a boy like you can date.
Junwoo.
Your mom is such a good person.
You're probably one as well.
I'm sure of that. Right Junwoo?
Junwoo.
Yes.
Junwoo, please do me this favor.
Okay?
Mom.
He said he won't date you.
He promised me.
End it here.
Okay?
Let's go down.
Subin...
...are you all right?
Apologize to your mom.
I'm fine.
You don't have to give them to me if you don't want to.
Keep them.
But if you do...
...I'm going to leave the house.
I'll quit my job too.
I'll quit everything.
You know that I do it once I've set my mind on it, right?
I don't need them.
Go study.
Mom.
Yes.
Is it that wrong...
...for me to date Choi Junwoo?
Yes.
Why?
Because you're my everything.
You're...
Because you're more precious...
...to me than myself. You're my everything.
You're the last bit of pride that I have left.
And you're going out with a boy like him...
It doesn't make sense...
...that my daughter was hanging out that kid.
Understand?
Had I gone out with someone else,
would you have been okay with it?
Take them.
Take them if you don't want to give them up.
Do what you want.
Do whatever you want if you don't need me.
I'll go study.
Mom.
Yes.
Your threats...
Never mind.
I wanted to say that I'm not listening to you...
...because I'm afraid something bad will happen to you...
...or because you might leave.
I wanted to say that I'm tired of these kind of threats.
But if I do...
...it might make you hate Junwoo even more.
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Junwoo.
Did something happen?
You don't seem so good.
No, I'm fine.
Is it because the light is dim?
You must be tired from studying for the final exam.
I'm sorry, my son.
I can't even be there to look after you.
Are you washing the dishes?
Yes.
I'm fine.
Are you getting a lot of customers?
Yes, of course.
We've been busy. Maybe it's because we just renovated it.
We had a group came in earlier.
20 people. Isn't it amazing?
All right, Junwoo. Stop whatever you're doing and go to bed.
-Okay. -Good.
Goodnight. Cheer up!
That kind of thing...
...never happened.
Thank you.
Thank you for not being immature.
Subin...
...good night.
Don't think about anything. Just go to bed.
See you tomorrow at school.
Subin...
...say hello.
She'll be accompanying you starting today.
Mom.
Wait for her at the front gates around the time school ends and take her home.
Yes, ma'am.
If she doesn't show up within the time I told you, please call me right away.
I'll inform her homeroom teacher, as well.
Okay.
You don't have to go to cram schools anymore.
I'll find a live-in private tutor for you.
But for now, focus on studying for the final exam.
Get going.
Please take a good care of her.
Of course, ma'am.
Mom.
Mom, who is she?
Are you doing this so I won't meet Choi Junwoo?
Don't you think this is too much?
-I can take care of it myself. -"I can take care of it myself."
You can take care of it yourself?
Look at what happened when I trusted those words.
I'm not going to trust you anymore.
Go.
It's been five days since my breakup.
Right now, I'm on my way to school.
I'm so hungry today that I can't think straight.
But I think I look prettier because I've lost a lot of weight.
Stop it already.
-Hi. -What's this?
She's been posting videos on the Internet.
She calls it "Daheen's breakup project" or whatever.
Really? Wait, what's that?
Yoo Subin!
Yoo Subin, what's going on?
Are you debuting as an idol?
I saw this coming.
What do you mean?
Can't you tell? She got caught by her mom.
I bet my beauty that Choi Junwoo will transfer within a week.
Someone make her shut up.
Let's go.
Look like she found out after all.
I'm talking about Subin's mom.
You should have listened to my advice.
I'm sure she did it because she doesn't want Subin to get hurt.
So what are you going to do now?
What else can I do?
I'll have to keep liking her.
I don't have my phone,
so I couldn't call you.
My mom took it.
I see.
My mom hurt your feelings, right?
It must have hurt a lot, right?
I was thoughtless.
I shouldn't have brought you over to my house.
No. don't say that.
I was the one who said I wanted to go there.
Because I'm curious to see where you live.
Still...
You were only trying to comfort me.
I was in a bad mood after meeting my dad.
I wanted to comfort you,
but I ended up hurting you.
Sorry.
Don't say you're sorry.
Because that really hurts me.
Subin...
...let's get through this.
Even if it'll be hard.
At a time like this, we should focus on school.
We should also study harder.
And stay cheerful.
That's what I'll do.
I hope you'll do the same.
Jundal, you sound so mature.
I'm here for you.
Even if for now...
...I can't be of much help to you....
...I would still be here for you.
I'll always be next to you.
You'll always be the only one I like...
...no matter how hard it is.
Okay?
Mrs. Yoon, I don't think that's...
No.
Mr. Oh, I'm begging you.
Please make sure Subin doesn't hang out with Choi Junwoo.
I had an important meeting this morning.
I was going to talk to you on the phone, but I couldn't help myself,
so I came here instead.
Mrs. Yoon.
Junwoo and Subin...
...are classmates and have been really good friends.
How do you expect me to stop them from hanging out?
Did you know that they were dating?
As their teacher.
And as their homeroom teacher, how could you just let that happen?
What was I supposed to do then?
What if Subin's grades fall?
What if Subin couldn't get into a good university?
Aren't you worried if something happens to her,
while hanging out with a boy like him?
Look here, Ma'am.
Junwoo is not a bad boy.
He is a good and kind person.
Is this how you've been encouraging the kids to date?
How could an irresponsible person like you is put in charge as the homeroom teacher?
How are we supposed to trust you and send our kids to school?
Why? I mean, why?
Why do you mothers...
...have to go overboard like this?
Mr. Oh, I got too worked up.
I'm sorry if I was being rude...
No.
Don't apologize to me.
Apologize to Junwoo and Subin, to the kids.
The kids are not your children, not possessions.
"Study."
"Get into a good university. Win by all means."
"You can be friends with them"
"But don't hang out with them."
Dating?
That's out of the question.
You suffocate them and meddle with their lives.
You even censor and control their emotions.
This place...
...is not a prison.
I'm not a prison guard.
How much longer are you going to tell me to control,
and keep an eye on those beautiful kind-hearted kids?
Now you're getting worked up. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
Hi, Mrs. Yoon.
Subin is in the science lab. Do you want me to call her for you?
No. That's fine.
Bye.
Hello.
Let go.
Don't make things worse.
Do you have something to say?
I won't meet Subin outside of school again.
Even at school...
...I won't talk to her.
In return...
...please let Subin have her freedom back.
I beg you.
Why should I do that just because you ask me to?
I'll decide after seeing how she behaves.
I'm going to focus on studying.
That seems to be the only thing...
...I can do for Subin right now.
Why am I such an idiot?
Is Subin an idiot too?
Why would she be? She's not.
Then you're not an idiot either.
Who does Subin, who is not an idiot, says she like?
You.
Am I right?
Yoo Subin.
Is your mom Sherlock or something?
It's painful.
There's no way else to describe it.
It's just very painful.
For now, let's focus on the final exam.
If you do well, your mom might change her mind.
I don't think there's hope even if Choi Junwoo gets first place.
Her mom really cares about bloodlines and stuff like that.
Bloodlines, my foot. Is she a dog?
You're perfect as long as you keep your mouth shut.
I don't like you even with your mouth shut.
Same here.
Chanyeol, are you sick?
Why do you look so weak all morning?
Guys.
What?
I like Mr. Oh.
What?
Who?
Oh Hankyeol.
You couldn't pick someone better?
There's boys all over school. Why does it have to be Mr. Oh?
What? Mr. Oh is awesome.
What's wrong with him?
He's the crazy hot guy of Cheonbong High School!
Is it wrong for me to fall in love?
You, you, and you! You guys are all in love.
We didn't say anything.
Hey... it's okay.
Don't cry.
-Are you crying? -Don't cry.
What do we do?
Let's start the class.
Let's see, where were we...
Page 106.
Everyone...
...let's go outside.
All right.
This is great.
The sky looks so beautiful, doesn't it?
Have you guys ever looked up at the sky lately?
I don't think so.
I knew it.
If you look down from up there...
...you'll probably think we're ridiculous.
We're all trying to get each other to do something that we want.
And we hurt those people who we care about.
Let's stop doing that!
I'm so tired.
Junwoo.
Can we talk for a bit?
Talk to me comfortably.
I know this is late,
But I want to apologize to you.
I'm angry,
but I know that you didn't do it on purpose.
I shouldn't have done that,
but I guess leaving a good impression on Hwiyoung,
was that important to me back then.
I was such a fool.
But since that day,
not a day went by without me feeling guilty.
I'm really sorry.
I mean it.
I don't know why I acted like that.
I'm regretting it a lot.
I'm sorry, Junwoo.
To tell you the truth, I blamed you a lot.
It was really hard for me.
I'll accept your apology...
...for your mistakes.
You know we're starting a mentor-mentee program, right?
If you're interested, fill this out by the end of the day and give it to me.
Sign up and be my mentee.
I'm not becoming a mentor because of you.
I'm doing it for volunteering points.
I don't have enough points.
Oh, yes.
Of course, I know.
If you don't do the homework I give you,
I'll quit at that instant.
Okay. I mean...
...yes, ma'am.
Work hard.
If you get in the top 200 in the whole grade,
I'll watch a movie with you.
Wait, Romi..
What if...
...I get top 100?
Top 100?
Don't worry, since that will never happen.
But still...
...what if, in your in your imagination...
...I'm in the top 100?
I might go out with you.
Hey! How did it go?
-D...D... -Date?
This is low in calories.
It's just rye bread and vegetables.
This is the jerk who dumped me.
He made me a sandwich.
What's this? Carry fire in one hand and water in the other?
Come on, Daheen.
That's all for today.
Bye.
Yoon Soye.
What?
-Well, I... -Hi.
Can I ask you a favor?
It's nothing much, but you know the autumn performance that dance class holds?
Can you get some tickets for me?
Please, help me get the tickets.
What is it, Jo Sanghoon?
What's going on?
-What? -Why are you bothering Soye?
Since she's part of the dance class.
By the way, is it totally over between you and Hwiyoung?
Why? Because he's about to get totally humiliated?
Where did your undying friendship or whatever go?
-It's not what you think. -What do you mean?
Is he looking for a new informant or something?
Should I do it?
Geez. Reflect on yourself, Lee Kitae.
You need to be careful with whom you hang out with.
Hey!
Who are you to say that to Kitae?
He'll figure out himself about reflecting on his mistakes.
Worry about yourself.
She's quite cool.
Then you're not an idiot either.
Who does Subin, who is not an idiot, says she like?
You.
You have a knack for drawing.
That ladybug is cute.
(The Bare Tree)
By the way,
that was a good call too.
Not running away.
Very...
...good.
"Yoo Subin, good luck!"
I don't think so.
I'm sure she was happy...
...because her son, Choi Junwoo, was born.
(Suseong Sauna)
Darn it.
Gosh.
Oh, boy. This is...
Geez.
Darn it!
It was you, wasn't it?
No, it really wasn't me.
Why would I post that on the website?
Why would I dig my own grave...
Right? Something did happen.
Gosh. I knew it.
Mr. Kim...
...please tell me the truth.
If you don't,
I'm not going to let you leave.
Gosh.
There's a problem, isn't there?
His answer sheet...
I tampered with it. Just for two questions.
You know how big of a deal, Hwiyoung's college admission is.
I happened to find out he made a mistake on the exam.
I didn't mean to do that.
I know I shouldn't have done that.
but my family was struggling financially at the time.
That's why...
...I made a deal with Hwiyoung's dad.
But...
No matter how short on money you are...
How could you...?
That's why I'm in hiding like this right now.
I can't even sleep or eat these days.
What about the vice-principal?
Does he know?
No, no one knows. I'm on my own.
Even Hwiyoung doesn't know about it.
He probably thinks he got it right because he marked the correct answers by mistake.
You have no choice, then.
You need to come forward and explain it.
Then, Hwiyoung's parents and I will be doomed.
But if you keep this a secret, Hwiyoung will be the one in trouble.
You need to speak up about your wrongdoings.
Don't ruin his bright future.
Please rectify this situation.
You have to reveal...
...what you've done, and pay for it.
Then, give me some time, Mr. Oh.
(My Jimin)
Hi, Jimin.
Hello?
Mr. Oh, I have something to tell you.
Are you all right? Are you feeling sick?
Did something happen?
I...
...need some time.
Time for what?
I don't know if I can keep seeing you...
...or if I deserve to be with you.
What do you mean? Why wouldn't you deserve to be with me?
I feel like I'm not good enough for you.
I'm sorry.
Jimin. Jimin?
Hello?
Your drawings are not bad.
First of all, your grades will determine the type of portfolio you have to prepare.
Looking at your abilities, I think we can prepare a basic design portfolio.
For the schools that look at basic design portfolios...
...they usually take into account 60-100 percent of your practical examination.
So if we systematically manage your grades and prepare you for the actual test,
there are quite a few art schools that you can go.
Would it be okay...
...if I have a bad student record?
Something like a forced transfer.
It'll put you at a disadvantage, of course.
But every school has different entry requirements.
If you're aiming for a top-tier university,
you need to have better grades.
But there are also schools that have their own admission tests,
so they could be an option for you.
I see.
Then, what about the class fee?
Well, about that...
Do you want me to give you an estimate?
Yes, please.
Give me that. I'll do it.
No, don't waste your energy on things like this.
Just go study for the exam over there.
This is great for mental concentration.
It's because of Jimin, isn't it?
You knew?
She told me about you.
She said you're a great person...
...but she doesn't think she's ready yet.
What? Ready for what? Is she going fishing?
Hiking?
Give her some time
Though, it'll be hard.
Like you and Subin?
Though, it'll be hard.
Gosh, it's really hard...
...liking someone. Right?
Whether you're 18 or 28...
...or 38 years old.
Mr. Oh.
Are you 28?
Whether you're 48 or 58...
...or 68 or 78...
...or 88 or 98...
...or 108.
Junwoo, eat up.
Here you go.
Thank you.
I'm looking forward to your final exam result.
You've been studying hard. Will your grades go up this time?
Have you made your mind to focus on studying?
If I get good grades this time around,
I hope Subin's mom would take a liking to me.
So I'm studying hard...
...still, I can't help but wonder this.
"Even if my grades go up,"
"even if I get first place in the whole year,"
"will Subin's mom care at all"?
"What's the use of all this?"
"Is the effort I'm putting in right now,"
"the best that I can do?"
That kind of things.
Why are you so disheartened?
Who cares what her mother thinks about you?
You should do it for yourself.
Choi Junwoo is telling Choi Junwoo,
"I'm doing well like this. I'm making this much effort."
"I'm having a great live."
What about after that?
After that...
...I suppose a new story will unfold itself.
Junwoo, think about the time when you were transferred to the school.
Because you didn't run away back then, you got to meet Subin...
...and this world's best teacher.
Answer me.
Yes.
Junwoo...
...don't think too far ahead.
Just do it.
Right now.
Without regrets.
Okay?
Okay.
Good.
If you're an adult, we'd be having soju right now.
Let's at least drink some water together.
All right.
Bottoms up.
With the water?

Good morning.
-Morning, Aegyeong. -Good morning.
Why isn't Mr. Kim picking up again? This is worrisome.
Mr. Kim...
...you promised me...
...that you'd personally explain the situation.
Mr. Kim...
...as a fellow teacher...
...I have faith in you.

Geez.You're so frustrating. You don't want to go see a movie with me, do you?
How could you say that? That's what I live for.
Solve it.

(Final Exams Study Plan)
Mom.
Did I wake you?
-I was trying to be quiet. -When did you get here?
I stayed up until late.
I came here around dawn to make you breakfast.
Your exam start today, isn't it?
I planned to come last night,
but customers at the restaurant stayed till late.
I've been eating well on my own.
Then why is your face so thin?
It's good that you woke up. I have to leave soon,
so I thought I'd only get to see my son sleeping.
-So soon? -I have to go open the restaurant.
Isn't Aunt Haeyoung there?
She's not feeling so well these days.
You don't seem so well either.
Are you sick?
No.
I'm perfectly healthy.
Let's eat.
Eat up.
Okay.
Start with fish that's good for your brain.
Is Subin doing well?
Is her mom busy? She hasn't called me in a while.
I thought we were going to be sisters.
She didn't know about you two dating yet, right?
No.
If you get good grades on this exam, make sure you tell her.
She might look a little bit fierce...
...on the outside...
she's actually a really cool person once you get to know her.
We might not look like we'd get along,
but we do.
I might miss my bus.
Junwoo, do well on your exams.
I'll send you wishes while at work.
Okay. Thanks.
My son. I love you.
Bye.
Okay.
Oh, right. Send my wishes to Subin too.
Good luck.
If you're not sure about a question, stick to your first choice.
Okay?
Okay, Mom.
Mom.
Yes?
Nothing's wrong going on, right?
Yes.
Okay. Take care on your way home.
Okay.
You can do it!
I can do it!
(Red ginseng will give you energy. Good luck on the exam. - Subin)
(To: Subin)
She's been using it.
It smells nice.
It suits her.
Yahoo!
Romi, I got more than 50 points.
You got 51 points.
Really?
Please be my teacher forever...
Shut up. I messed up on my exam!
It's your fault.
It's all your fault!
Okay.
You got all of them right?
-Shh... -I knew it.
You only got four wrong?
I know, right?
This is weird.
What's with you? How did you do so well, Choi Junwoo?
This is not fair.
I got so many wrong.
-Daheen, are you okay? -I'm okay.
Should I do it for you?
I'm done.
Did you do well?
Kind of.
What about you?
-I'm done. You're heavy. -Me too.
Hwiyoung, did you get a full mark this time as well?
Okay.
Hwiyoung, did you get all correct again?
Are you going to get first place in our year again?
-I'm so jealous. -Tell me about it.
(Correct)
(Wrong)
Hello, son.
Did you do well on the exam?
You're in first place again, right?
Great job, my son.
Mom, what do I do?
I don't think I can get first place.
What? My goodness.
You know how to make a joke now?
That's not funny at all.
I'm serious.
I got five questions wrong for math.
What? Five?
That being said...
...please take care of it this too.
Take care of what?
I heard you and Dad asked to have my grades manipulated last year.
I'll need your help again this time.
Who said that? Hwiyoung, who is it?
Is it Mr. Kim?
Help me.
I'll count on you and Dad.
Hello?
Hello? Hwiyoung.
Why isn't he picking up?
Hello?
Honey.
You know...
Hwiyoung said...
What should I do?
Are you serious? You got a 100?
Oh, my gosh!
You really got full marks? Hold on. Then...
What was your score for the midterm?
Will you get A+ if you add those two?
I won't know until I get the full results,
but I think I might get it.
I can't believe it, Subin!
You did a great job. Thank you, my daughter.
See? I told you, you can do it if you put your heart into it.
Yoo Subin, what do you want to eat? I'll buy you everything.
No, let's go shopping. I'll buy you clothes.
You said you wanted to go shopping. Let's go to the mall. I'll buy you...
I forgot.
I have a meeting this evening.
What should we do? Oh, no.
It's okay, Mom. I'll just go home and rest.
You want to rest? Okay, then.
Get some rest. I'll call you as soon as my meeting ends,
and head straight home. Let's eat something delicious. Okay?
Subin, I love you so much.
You need to keep this up, okay?
Let's aim for SNU.
Make sure you get in. You can do it!
Oh no....
What's going on?
She suddenly fainted.
Jung Ohje. This is bad.
Daheen fainted.
I think it's because of of her dieting.
What?
Follow me.
Daheen.
She fell asleep.
We'll wait outside.
You can go home.
I'll take Daheen home.
Will you?
Let's wait until she wakes up.
-Moon Chanyeol. -What?
Get a hint.
Let's go, then. Let's go.
Leave, Jung Ohje.
I don't want to see you.
You weren't sleeping?
I said, leave. Hurry.
Go...
Then I'll go call your friends back.
It's not because I don't like you.
There you go again.
Stop saying stuff like that.
I'm sick of it.
To tell you the truth...
...there's someone I like.
Forget it. I told you I don't want to hear it.
It's not a girl.
I'm not used to feeling this kind of emotion either.
But I can't help it.
I keep thinking about what's wrong with me too.
I'm sorry, Daheen.
It's Hwiyoung, isn't it?
That person you like.
Go.
I'll take you home.
-I told you to leave. -Let's go.
Daheen, let's go.
Come on, let's go home.
Are you okay?
-I can walk on my own. -No.
Hey, Jung Ohje. What is this?
What?
That brat!
Daheen.
Daheen!
Hey!
What do we do?
Oh, no...
-What do we do? -It's okay, Daheen.
No, but she...
She posted it in the chat room...
I didn't know she was here. I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
(Jung Ohje)
Hey, Ohje.
Did you...
Yes.
Well...
Is Daheen okay?
Yes, she's okay.
That's a relief.
Let's talk later.
Make sure Daheen gets home safely.
Okay.
Talk to you later.
Bye.
Hello?
Is this Junwoo?
Sure.
Then...
...I'll text you the address.
Let's meet there.
Subin.
Get home safely. I need to go.
Where are you going?
Our favorite cafe.
Why are you going there?
I'll tell you next time.
Subin.
Look to the front.
Use this.
It's okay...
(Ma Hwiyoung)
The person you are calling...
(Ma Hwiyoung)
What is it?
Hello, I'm Choi Junwoo.
Yes, I know.
You came by last time.
Sit down. What do you want to drink?
Back then...
...did you think I didn't recognize you?
Wasn't that what happened?
How could I not recognize you?
I can tell at a glance.
Is that why you wrote me the letter?
So that I acknowledge you?
I've been wanting to for a while...
...but my friend encouraged me...
...so that I wouldn't have regrets.
Your girlfriend?
Yes.
I used to always run away from reality,
but I've changed thanks to her.
She's a friend who gives me courage.
She's a good friend.
Yes.
You should never run away.
It's a bad thing to do.
But you know what, Junwoo?
I ran away like a coward.
No.
You still came, didn't you?
I came here to ask you for a favor.
I hope you won't come to find me again in the future.
(To: Choi Myungjoon)
It's a good thing I saw this letter first.
It's all in the past, you know.
You're all grown up now,
and I have another family now.
You and I...
...we both have different paths to take.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I'm sorry, Junwoo.
Could you please drive a little faster?
Junwoo!
Junwoo, are you all right?
Subin.
(At Eighteen)
My mom...
...still thinks that the time she spent with her first love...
... was the most beautiful moment in her life.
Back when she was 18.
The only thing I can do now...
...is write this letter.
But I'm here with you.
Let's hang in there together.
I miss you, and I like you.
Can't you just take care of it again?
This ungrateful brat!
So I guess it was me. The informant.
Drawing, art.
Art school?
Subin.
I have a goal now.
Big news.
People from the Office of Education is here to get Ma Hwiyoung.
I acknowledge all the allegations.
I'll cooperate with the investigation.
Happy birthday.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
