High Kick! Episode 58

There are still scabs on your back.

Those jerks scrubbed my back really hard.

- Is it really visible? - Okay.

- Work hard, okay? It'll be okay. - I will.

Call me. Honey, you can do it!

Go, me! I'll be home later.

- Bye. - Bye.

Where's Junha going?

He's going to work.

Work? He got a job somewhere?

Someone he went to school with told him about a vacancy.

I hope he does well.

Oh, I think I remember hearing about it. Isn't it a temp job?

Yes, it is.

But if he does well, they'll hire him as a full-time employee, right?

Maybe. Well, good for him.

Shinji.

Hey, Shinji. Wake up. Aren't you late?

You said you're practicing 24/7 this week. Didn't you say you have to leave early?

Yeah, I did. What time is it?

It's already 9:00 A.M. What if you get in trouble?

It's already 9:00 A.M. I'm late.

- Hello. - Hi, how can I help you?

My name is Lee Junha. I'm supposed to start working today.

What? Did we hire a new employee?

I didn't hear anything about it.

Jeong Yonguk hired me as a temp employee for a new project.

Oh, Mr. Jeong.

- Where is he? - I think he's in a meeting.

Would you mind waiting over there?

We won't be able to reach him while he's in the meeting.

Sure.

- You can wait here. - Okay.

Bye.

You'll probably be late today, too, right? Good luck!

What do I do to kill time today?

On the Internet?

Just check it out. It's ridiculous.

They're ready to eat Eastern medicine practitioners alive over medical reforms.

As if we did anything wrong.

Where? Where is that?

Don't you know the Focus & Debate site? It's pretty well-known.

Focus & Debate? How do I get to the site?

Mr. Lee, how did the meeting go?

Sir, there's a slight problem.

Hey. Yonguk!

Junha, what are you doing here?

What?

I sent you an e-mail. I guess you didn't see it.

What e-mail?

There was a legal issue. The project is postponed indefinitely.

What?

That doesn't mean the team is fired.

We just have to wait and see for now.

Oh, so it's just on hold, then?

You can say that.

But because you haven't been formally hired, I'm not sure with you.

Then when will you know?

I can't say for certain.

It could be next week. It could be next month.

Or it could never happen.

Mr. Jeong, what are you doing?

Coming, sir.

I'll talk to you in a little bit. This is an emergency.

Wait, Yonguk!

If you just give me a desk, I can wait until the decision is made.

We don't know when that will be. I can't just give you a desk.

Junha, just go home and wait, okay?

I call you as soon as I hear anything, okay?

Did she read it?

No.

She really must have gone to some foreign country.

Hey, Minho.

Hey, can you help me...

What's with him?

What is it? I'll help you.

There's a site called Focus & Debate.

I want to see it.

- Focus & Debate? - Yes, Focus & Debate.

- Is that it? - Yes.

Move.

Did she go to work today, too?

Yes, she has rehearsal every day now. She left early this morning.

May I take your order?

Yes. Caramel macchiato, right?

Yes, that's right.

Two, please.

$8.80 please.

- I'll get this. - Don't worry about it.

I'll get it.

You always pay for everything. Let me treat you this time, okay?

- Okay. - What?

Go ahead.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

If you're not falling, you're spilling something.

Why are you paying? I said I would treat you.

It's fine.

This is an old trick. Pretend you're going to pay, but get distracted.

I was really going to pay. I'll buy lunch, then.

- Wait a minute. - What?

Who's this?

G-give it back.

Who's this tubby girl?

That's a bad photo. I was chubby then.

Why won't you let me see it?

That wasn't just chubby. That was outright fat...

Our order's ready. Get the coffee!

I'm going to have to do a background check.

When did the transformation take place?

What transformation?

Hello? Mom?

How's work? Is it going well?

What? Yes, yes.

You didn't get in trouble?

Why would I get in trouble?

Lunch?

Oh, I'm eating right now. I'm with my colleagues.

Okay, bye.

- Oh. - Oh, no.

What are you doing here at this time?

What? Oh, I was just...

I heard you got a new job.

I just spoke with Mother a little while ago.

What? Oh, yes.

Oh, I'm on my way to the theater.

Rehearsal is starting late today.

I see. I had to step out of the office for a little bit.

Oh, I see.

Bye, then.

Bye.

These idiots are crazy.

They're not serious, are they?

- Come have lunch. It's past 1:00 P.M. - Later.

Oh, come on now. They've got too much time on their hands.

Who?

These idiots don't even know what they're talking about.

This is absolute garbage.

What is?

Are Eastern medicine doctors really doctors? Or are they salesmen? By: Teddy Bear

What?

Salesmen? What does that mean?

Hello. I am a professor in my 50s.

Yeah, right.

What? A professor? Whatever...

What kind of professor is this ignorant?

How dare he pretend to be a professor?

It's because of idiots like this that public opinion is so misguided.

You're not going to get away with this.

Title: Ignorant Teddy Bear, Read This.

What do I put as my ID?

By: Heojun

Teddy...

Are you done?

Check!

Wait a minute...

Just do this.

Hey. Check!

Who do you think you are?

We have a wager going here. Why are you butting in?

- Why I ought to... - I'm sorry!

I thought you were going to the theater. What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

You're better off than I am. If it's postponed, at least you have hope.

I was fired.

It's not much better.

A temp job that's postponed indefinitely is the same as being fired.

But, how did it happen?

Isn't the show opening soon?

It kind of just happened.

Well, people get fired for all sorts of reasons.

Very true.

What are you doing out here? Why don't you stay at home?

I don't really feel like telling my roommate.

I'd rather she didn't know.

If she knew, she'd probably tell Minyong.

I don't know if you understand.

I understand completely.

I won't say a word to Minyong.

Thank you.

Are you going to keep pretending you're going to work?

For a little while longer.

Things may change unexpectedly.

I can't say I was fired the first day on the job.

True.

Time goes really slowly out here, doesn't it?

Right?

What do you do to pass the time?

Comic book libraries are usually the best.

Comic book libraries?

Yes. If you read a few books, it's about night time.

Really?

That idiot put up a response.

Okay, you want to fight?

Let's do it. You're dead, moron.

Did you finish volume three?

Oh, here.

I'm kind of hungry.

Are you hungry?

Well, I did skip lunch.

You didn't have lunch?

We should eat. Let's go somewhere.

I can't be bothered.

How about Chinese?

We can order in here.

You put hot pepper flakes on your black bean noodles, too?

Of course. I can't eat it without them.

Me, too.

I had fun today.

Me, too. The time really doesn't go when you're alone.

Are you going to pretend you're working tomorrow, too?

Yes, I think I have to.

Then do you want to pass the time together?

Sure.

I'll see you at the park, then.

Okay, bye.

- Hi, Dad. - Hey.

- Honey. - Hey. How was it?

Well, you know.

Is the work atmosphere good?

How are the people? You didn't get in trouble?

Why would I get in trouble.

I'm hungry. Feed me.

I made the stir-fried beef and noodles you like.

Honey, Junha's home.

What is he doing in there?

Fifth Response to Heojun's Post By: Teddy Bear

He responded again? Unbelievable.

What a jerk. He must be some kind of psycho.

I tried to be nice, but he just doesn't get it!

Fine. You want to play rough?

Then it's time to get down and dirty. You piece of trash.

Grandpa! You can't write swear words there.

Why not? This jerk is driving me nuts. I'm going to make his blood boil.

Hey, You $%@! Teddy Bear! By: Heojun

You're home early.

I'm tired.

Are you eating? I want some, too.

You didn't have dinner yet?

I didn't have time to eat.

You're going to collapse if you keep working like that. Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Oh, hello.

You're here early. What should we do today?

It's cold, isn't it? Do you want to get fish cakes?

Fish cakes? Sounds good. I'll treat.

No, I'll get it.

No, I got it.

How about an order of spicy rice cakes?

We need at least three. Three orders of spicy rice cakes, please.

Oh, you have a hearty appetite, don't you? It slipped my mind.

So what are you doing to support yourself?

Musicals don't pay that well, do they?

I've been doing a few commercial jingles. I'm just getting by.

I thought you'd come back all successful after your trip to Russia to study composing.

That's what I thought, too.

Things don't always turn out the way you planned.

Wouldn't it be great if things did turn out the way you planned?

- Here are the spicy rice cakes. - Oh, okay.

And by the time I'm 40, I want to compose musicals or have my songs in musicals.

Like Andrew Lloyd Webber. And have them shown on Broadway.

That's awesome.

A person can dream about anything.

What about you?

Me?

I want people to hear my name and say, "Oh, the stock broker with the golden touch?"

You know, like Warren Buffett.

A person can dream about anything?

It will happen someday.

Not at my age. It's too late now.

Why not? A single event can bring you success, right?

You never know what's going to happen.

A single event can bring you success?

That's a great way to look at things.

Excuse me, do you mind keeping it down?

Sure.

Honey, lunch is ready. Come and eat.

Hold on a minute.

All the nurses are waiting. Hurry up.

Okay, just start without me.

Honestly.

That coward. He's so scared he's not writing back anymore.

See? That's why you don't start fights you can't win.

Honey, where's my rice?

Who? Lee Sunjae? That's my husband. Why?

What? Cyber Investigative Unit? What's that?

- Honey, here. It's the police. - What?

We've determined that Heojun is you,

and the IP address matches up with your home address.

Someone must have used my ID.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why would an old man like me go on a site like that?

I don't have the time to write things like that.

Oh, yes. Yes, I see.

Oh, no. It's not me. There must be a mistake.

In any case, a complaint has been filed. You have to at least make an appearance.

It's nothing serious,

and it's probably because the professor here is upset,

but I think if you just come here and apologize, it will be okay.

But it wasn't me. Why do I have to apologize?

It must have been someone in my family.

How should I know what they wrote?

In any case,

once I find out who did it, I'll call you. Yes.

What happened?

Father, did you write something with swear words on the Internet?

Hurry up and follow me. Come on, hurry up.

Oh, my. Be careful, Miss Seo!

Oh, Dr. Park. How are you?

Are you going somewhere?

I'm meeting someone.

Where?

In Myeongdong.

I'm on my way to Daehagno. I'll drop you off on the way.

Really?

- Get in. - Okay!

Oh, my. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Hey, we only have to kill two more hours.

Already? The time goes really fast when we're hanging out. It's nice.

I agree. What should we do for two hours?

Oh, did you know?

If you go to Cinema World, you can play 3D games for free.

3D games? Sounds good to me.

Can I drop you off after I make a right?

Yes.

Oh, my. What if they get frostbite?

I don't understand people these days.

We almost got caught.

Yeah...

What? Why should we take the blame for you?

Then, what? You want me to go? Me?

If they find out an medicine practitioner cursed out someone over medical reform...

What do you think will happen to me?

It will be all over the papers.

Do you want the hospital to get more bad publicity and have to close down?

Who told you to write that stuff? What did you do that for?

Be quiet.

I can't go. There's no way.

This can only lead to the ruin of our hospital and family.

So who wants to go for me?

Lee Minyong. You're young. You'd be perfect for this.

How about it? Take one for the team.

Father, I'm a teacher. Teachers can't do things like that.

Why should he go for you?

Teacher? Okay, fine. He's a teacher. I guess he can't go.

How about someone from the hospital?

Nurse Park? Nurse Yu?

I have no interest in law.

Who asked you to be interested? I just need you to go to the police!

I...

I don't want to, either.

That doesn't mean you won't go, right?

It won't do you any good for me to get in trouble.

I'll increase the New Year's bonus.

Sorry.

I have to go downstairs.

- Thank you for lunch. - Sure.

I'm paying them too much.

Hey. Honey, what about you?

Why are you looking at me? Do you think they'll believe me?

Why would I write something like that on the Internet?

You're right, they won't believe you.

Grandpa, I can't. I'm a school officer. I can't let down my school.

Hey, you!

What? Why are you looking at me...

You need money, right?

Do you want some spending money? Oh, come on now.

We're leaving right on time.

Well, we worked hard all day.

There's the bus. 9:00 A.M. tomorrow?

Tomorrow's going to be cold. Let's meet at the comic book library.

Okay. Good night.

Hello? Director?

Yes. What's going on?

What? Really?

It worked out well. I didn't like how things ended,

but the executive producer moved Han Youngmin to the opera department.

Then...

Can you come in from tomorrow?

Yes! Yes, yes, of course! Yes, thank you!

Thank you so much! See you tomorrow!

Hello?

Oh, hi, Yonguk.

I just sit around at home.

What? Really?

So, I can start working tomorrow?

I'm sorry.

How could a young student like you write such horrible things to an adult?

I'm sorry.

Let him go. He didn't know any better.

You know how people are online these days.

If he didn't know any better, how did he know so much about medicine?

It was practically expert knowledge!

Did you really write it?

What?

I've always been pretty interested in medicinal practices, so...

I'm sorry.

Yunho.

Good job. Was it hard?

I don't know.

Ask me for anything. It's yours.

Minyong! Let's go to the department store.

Yes, sir.

A few days later

- Hey. - Oh!

I'm sorry I didn't meet you at the comic book library the other day.

I was going to call, but I forgot.

Oh, my. I didn't go that day, either. I'm back in the musical.

Really? That's great.

The project got the okay so I'm working now.

Wow, really? That's great! Congratulations!

- Thanks. - Wow.

Oh, I think I'm going to be late...

Go ahead. I can't be late, either.

Bye.
