[FAILing in Love]

[2008]

[Kang Parang]

When I became 18, everything became simple and clear.

I made up my mind.

I decided to put an end to this back luck, and start a relationship.

[1998]

The bad luck began when I was 9.

It was her birthday.

Everyone in my class,

was invited to the party.

Except for me, when I was the one who sat next to her.

I wasn't disappointed.

I didn't like her too.

But...

running into friends who were coming back from the party,

was quite embarrassing.

Look! It's Kang Parang!

Hey, Lee Siwon likes you.

It was her name.

Did you hear that?

She said she liked you at the birthday party.

I didn't understand.

[2005] There was a girl I liked in middle school.

Do you want to go out with me?

Didn't you say that to Kim Boyoung in Class 6 last week?

I mean, "girls".

- Like you. - Ha... - Like you, like you, like you.

- Hahahaha. - Like you, like you.

Sorry.

I like you more now.

Get out.

I heard Lee Siwon in Class 4 has had a crush on you for ages.

She's been saying everyone in school that she'll kill the person who dates you.

Good luck!

Nobody liked me.

Except for one.

I was afraid that I may not be in a relationship, ever.

[Lee Siwon]

So... I said it.

I like you.

What?

I like you too.

Oh...

That was the only way to be in a relationship.

But why "too"?

Huh?

I don't like you. Why did you put "too" at the end?

Kang Parang seems to have separation anxiety.

Don't follow me, go away.

Oh, okay.

I thought it was mere coincidence.

But he always needed someone by his side.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Lee Siwon, happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday Siwon!

I like Kang Parang.

I wanted that person by his side to be me.

I...like you.

He kept on looking for someone to stay with him.

As if it could be "anybody".

I like you.

What?

I like you too.

Oh...

I think I'm one of "anybody".

But why "too"?

Huh?

I don't like you. Why did you put "too" at the end?

Then, this is not the right time.

I don't like you.

10 years have passed, and it was still impossible to understand her.

And now,

I can never be in a relationship.

[EP.01 I like you too]

I hate to go to school today.

I can't look at Lee Siwon.

Arrgggghhh!

I can avoid her in school.

You're not going to tell that to anyone, right?

Let's just pretend this never...

But it's hard to avoid her now when she's living just downstairs.

She always leaves home early. Why so late today?

[Send the message?] [Yes]

[Message has been sent]

[You're not going to tell that to anyone, right? Let's just pretend this never]

That's really pathetic, Parang.

I can't deny that.

Not enough money.

Oh, wait.

Two please.

Why are you here now? Thanks.

Hurry.

I walked really slow on purpose. Why are we on the same bus?

I've been friends with him for 10 years too.

- He got taller. - So handsome.

He's smart and handsome, and even comes from a rich family.

He's super popular.

But there is one thing people don't know.

Argh! Hey!

Why did you have to hold my hair!

I thought your shoulders would be there around that height. It was your head.

He's a psychopath.

You are lying!

Kang Blue, what's today's lunch... (Parang means blue in Korean)

Gross, saliva!

I lost all my appetite now.

I'll tell you if you promise that you won't tell anyone.

Are you still asleep? Where are you looking at?

Hurry, I won't tell it otherwise.

Get out, I don't want to know.

He's been my friend ever since middle school.

He looks really bad-tempered, but in reality, he's worse.

- You'll be surprised. - Nothing surprises me more than your face.

I told someone that I had feelings.

- You do that every day like you go to the toilet... - To Lee Siwon.

Hey...!

I wanted to get some advice from someone.

Siwon doesn't like me.

And you really...have feelings?

I think so...

Since... When?

Hey, Lee Siwon likes you.

Let's go home.

Can I ask if you'd like to eat a ham bread with me?

Yeah, sure.

Why is that important?

We're all friends! But if you suddenly say you like a friend...

- Why are you yelling... - That means that you could say that to me, too!

Kim Geon sometimes has a very unique way of looking at things.

So I thought that it would be a good idea to ask him for some advice.

You two always hung out together... And now... The rumors were true.

What do I do now?

Siwon seems perfectly fine and I'm the only one feeling uncomfortable.

- Then... First of all... - What?

You two should talk.

About what?

Maybe what you said was really alarming.

You two should talk calmly about it.

Ask if there is no feeling at all there. You don't like me?

Why not? Then what's your type?

Maybe it's your face and personality...

I shouldn't have asked.

Call today.

No, I'll make sure that you two meet in the gym.

You should talk then.

No, I don't think that's a good idea.

But the rumors might mean there's a possibility...

- Rumors? What rumors are you talking about? - There's a possibility...

Give me that.

Cute.

Drink just a little bit.

Hey! Come on!

The reason Kang Parang's separation anxiety disorder has no time to

get better could be because of him.

The only ones that are still by Kang Parang's side after 10 years

are me and him.

- Kang Blue, let's go to the snack bar... - Get out.

I have to rush to the bathroom.

Why are you coming this way? The bathroom's over there.

Why are you...

Hey! What's wrong? Is it a huge one? One that you have to go to a different floor for?

Everyone, Kang Parang is a huge potty pants!

Homeroom 4, Kang Parang is a huge potty pants!

Homeroom 4, Kang Parang is a huge potty pants!

Homeroom 4, Kang Parang is a huge potty pants...

Hello. He's a huge potty pants!

You eat well and poop well. Kang Blue.

Do you know how many of those you had already?

Three.

This is the last one.

No, I mean how many you've had your entire life.

I'm in a growth spurt.

Grow spurt, my ass. You eat like a pig.

You should just become ham bread yourself.

This is the best part...

What? Where did he go?

A magician?

- What did you get on your hands? - I know.

It's not coming off.

Hey Kang Parang.

That's a soap for rags.

Is something wrong with his head?

It seems like he's getting even dumber.

This won't do.

[Quiet]

What are you doing after school?

Let's go to a internet cafe.

Yeah.

Hey, class president.

Keep those guys quiet.

The psychopath is our class president.

Hey! I thought I told you to keep quiet during study hall.

Put that in.

Study hard.

What's even more surprising is that he's our homeroom teacher.

Come on! Oh... This class is quiet.

That's not easy to do. Keep up the hard work.

There are only weird people in this school.

So I decided to become even weirder.

I decided that I should listen just once to what Kim Geon said.

[Geon] I wasn't nervous when I decided to tell her that I like her.

[Thinking...] But I'm not sure why I'm so nervous now.

[No matter...]

And then this thought came to my mind.

Get lost. Let's not even be friends any more. Bye.

I should just forget the whole thing.

[Geon, the more I think about it]

I'm doomed.

My head went blank.

No... That's...

Why don't you like me?

[Lee Sieon]

What is he doing here?

I told someone that I had feelings.

You do that every day like you go to the toilet...

To Lee Siwon.

You two should talk about it again.

After school, I'll make sure you two meet in the gym.

You two should talk then.

Kim Geon...

[Epilogue]

You should go to the gym.

Why?

He'll be waiting for you there.

Who?

I know about you two... I know, it's OK.

Anyways, hurry up and go.

What are you talking about?

The kid that told you how he has feelings for you!

Your friend for 10 years, you idiot!

[FAILing in Love]

You know what I'm taking about.

Hold on.

Mr. Baek, you must be back from the 3rd floor.

By the way,

what did you say was the average score for your class?

Well, I don't recall saying that.

Well, my class ranked top,

and your class ranked 2nd. I just felt sorry for you.

You knew it all along, then.

I don't know why, but my class always ranks top.

I feel awkward talking about it.

Well...

You don't seem feel awkward.

Lee Si "Eon" from my class is the top of the class,

and Lee Si "Won" from your class is the 2nd in the class.

You must be very interested in students from my class, too.

It's not that.

Lee Si "Eon" and Lee Si "Won". Those with similar names have similar scores.

I feel proud of them.

But Lee Si Eon

has never missed being the top of his class since last year.

Top of the class student is in the top class. You know what I'm saying?

Where are you going?

I think you want to speak to yourself rather than communicating with me.

I'd like to leave you alone.

By the way, please use respectful language to me.

And Si Eon was not there.

- Do you like me? - Are you crazy?

So, it's not me?

It can't be you.

I've known Lee Siwon, Lee Sieon, and him for 10 years,

I still don't get them.

Ah...Kim Geon...

What are you doing? Aren't you going?

Did you ask Lee Siwon out?

Yes.

I did.

Ah...

What's with the look on your face?

Just because...

A little disappointed.

What?

Shouldn't you stop asking people out without thinking?

That's disgusting.

Someday I want to beat him.

[EP 02. Because I have someone I like]

What is it? What's going on?

You made me...!

Tell me why.

- Please tell me the reason. - You made me gay.

- Gay! Gay! - What are you talking about?

I never imagined it would be Lee Siwon.

You could imagine it would be Lee Sieon?

I think that's more possible.

Are you crazy?

You and Lee Sieon are always together.

- I hang out with you all the time, too. - Do you like me, too?

Take it.

Lee Sieon is just tall and mean,

but he's nice to you.

He's not. And what he's doing is an assault.

And...

Why are we talking about this nonsense?

Well...

There's a rumor, too.

A rumor? What rumor?

I'm sure he's gay.

Fanfic can be very influential.

He looks like that, but he's never gone out with a girl.

Stop reading fanfics.

You know what? He skipped the 2nd portion of after-school session.

And Yang Hyeji saw him with Kang Parang at the gym.

What's wrong with that?

They're in the same class. They didn't have to go out to talk.

Do they smoke? They don't.

They can be alone together.

Anyway, there are so many rumors on Lee Sieon.

Why?

What's wrong with that? What if he's gay?

You're right.

Don't talk about things that haven't been proven true.

He's just...

Weren't you cleaning?

Throw it away.

Wow.

Sometimes he's not just weird. He scares me.

Was it in the 8th grade?

There was a girl who liked Lee Sieon so much.

She was quite popular.

One day Lee Sieon approached her.

And he said to her.

Do you like me?

What?

Don't.

It's annoying.

Is it annoying that I like you?

Did I ask you out? It's just my feeling.

Then you shouldn't have shown it,

if it's just one-sided love.

I've known it since then.

He's just a psychopath.

- Rock paper scissors! - Ugh.

Rock paper scissors!

Ugh.

Rock paper scissors!

Ugh! Oh my...

- What? Continue? - Rock paper scissors!

Wow!

- Ugh... - Why? Hurt?

Did it hurt?

Shouldn't you stop asking people out without thinking?

That's disgusting.

Such a psychopath.

I'm sure he'll pretend nothing happened.

Anyone has Netty...

Anyone has Netty?

I won't let it go this time.

- Go away. You say whatever you want... - I do!

Do you want this?

I wasn't going to answer for him.

How about the other side?

Okay, go!

Rock paper scissors! Ugh...

Go. Just go.

He says whatever he wants, and he doesn't even care about it.

I must be nothing for him.

Hey, yesterday you...

Attention! Bow!

Good morning.

Anyway, I didn't want to talk to him first.

Everyone's here, right?

Work hard as usual.

Why so quiet? I feel like I'm in a funeral.

Hey.

Hey.

You can see I'm watching my idol group performing.

You've already seen it.

I watched just 5 times today.

- I'll watch it 15 times more. - Oh my...

I shouldn't have said no?

What's wrong?

- About Kang Parang. - Did he ask another girl out?

It maybe his habit to ask people out.

He may not be fully conscious when he does that.

Well, it's not that.

Or, maybe... he really likes me.

When is he going to grow up?

He should stop asking out anyone.

If he's lonely, he'd better start fangirling.

This time...

Did he ask you to be in a relationship?

No.

He shouldn't do that.

Hey, pull yourself together.

Pick an ordinary guy.

You saw him washing his face with laundry soap.

He's getting weirder.

Or, why don't you ask him out?

Oh my...

That's easier said than done.

Sorry! I saw nothing.

Can I see you outside?

- Me? - Yes.

You.

It's okay that you saw me.

I don't want to see it.

Really?

Here it is.

- You threw this away. - Yes, I did.

You could throw out flowers, but you need to take a look at this.

Why?

Why? Haven't you thought of how hard she worked on this?

Should I consider that, too?

What?

- If you don't want to throw it out, I will. - Hey.

I may be out of line.

But you shouldn't ignore a person's feeling just because it's annoying for you.

- She must have thought over and over again... - You are out of line.

- What? - So,

are you doing this because you think of asking out, too?

Hey!

Class'll start soon.

I'll never get used to Lee Sieon behaving like this.

Oh my...

Are you going home?

Can I walk you home?

- I work part-time. - Convenience store?

Then, I'll walk with you to the convenience store.

Why would you do that? I'm not a girl.

It's late. You go with Lee Sieon everyday.

Here he is.

Then

I should let it go today.

Do you want to walk with me?

What's going on?

I feel like he's doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

I still don't like...being left alone.

What are you doing?

Aren't you going home?

Let's go home.

And when I feel this way, Siwon is there.

Taking Kang Parang left alone

is like my job.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Why didn't you go home? Where's Kang Parang?

You didn't come here with Kang Parang?

Do you want one, too?

I just started working.

I'm not eating.

They are for me.

I forgot how much you eat.

Where is Kang Parang?

He never does anything alone.

140 billion won.

- I left him alone. - That sounds fun.

But why?

Just because...

He's annoying.

You didn't...

Did something happen between you two because of me?

I'm eating here.

Did you fight?

He can't compete with you, though.

You said something.

You sometimes look out of your mind.

You are mostly friendly with him,

but sometimes really harsh on him.

You psychopath.

You pig.

You bully poor Kang Parang, and eat two cup noodles.

They must taste great.

Get pickled radish, too.

The texture of pickled radish will make you smile.

You just like to eat,

but have no idea how to eat it right.

Hello.

Why is he doing that to me?

He ignored me all day,

and hit me in the shoulder when he passed me.

He just passed through.

Did you see it?

Anyway, he's so weird.

He's been weird for 10 years.

I don't understand you still haven't gotten used to it.

I've been letting him have his own way.

I'll make him stop saying harsh words.

What did he say this time?

I walk around and ask anyone out.

Ah...

No, that's not it.

He said it right.

I should stop saying things before I stop Lee Sieon.

It's also my job to wait until he grows up.

About that day.

I think I should say something today.

Shall I ask him

if he really likes me?

I don't know what to say, though.

The ask out... Ugh...

Shoe laces got loosened again.

- You tied them yourself, didn't you? - Yes.

They got loosened this morning, too.

What's wrong?

Have you ever been able to tie shoe laces right?

- Give me your foot. - Oh my god.

It's okay.

Why? I do it all the time.

- Give me your foot. - Your skirt...

It's okay. I'll do it.

You'll step on it again. Let me do it.

Do it now.

What are you doing?

- You'll be standing like this? - Yes.

Please just do it.

Done?

Not yet.

- You should tie them twice not to get loosened. - Okay...

But can you do it faster?

I did it wrong.

- I'll untie it... - Ugh...

Is was intentional, wasn't it?

Get up.

And looking at Siwon smiling,

It's awkward.

it's got clearer.

What?

Are you upset?

I tied your shoe laces well, though.

I have one more thing to do in front of Kang Parang.

I was going to say...

I don't think I can live without Lee Siwon.

The ask out...

Please forget about it.

I should pretend everything's okay, and we are friends.

Sure.

I should be her friend

so that she won't leave me forever.

But I'm getting tired now.

[Epilogue]

It's her again. Aren't you going to take it?

She's so persistent, and you are amazing.

Why do you never accept a date?

I get other girls.

But I think she's quite serious.

Well, she's a bit loud, but she seems fine...

Because I have someone I like.

What? Who? Me?

I do.
