Original subtitles

Don't smile like that.

It makes my heart beat.

Hey.

Stop...

playing around.

I'm not playing.

Don't you see?

I'm very sincere right now.

I'll go. Bye.

Your friend?

Yes, it's about my friend.

So your friend professed his love to a girl,

but it became more awkward between them?

Yes. Should he say it was a joke...

and tell her to forget about it?

But you aren't the type to take back what you said.

That's true.

Goodness, seriously!

I told you it's not me. It's about my friend.

Okay.

Why are you being so sensitive?

By the way, it'll be so awkward between them.

Right?

Try not to run into her.

Running into each other...

will make it super awkward.

What should he do to avoid seeing her?

He should go to school really early...

or really late so they never run into each other.

I see.

About your friend...

Yes?

- He's very pathetic. - Why?

Why would he ask you for dating tips?

You can't even handle your own love relationships.

Is he a fool?

Is he an idiot? Is he slow-witted?

Byung Goo.

- Yes? - You want to die?

It's delicious.

It's delicious?

Drink up.

Drink up.

Don't smile like that.

It makes my heart beat.

Hey, do you have 10 dollars?

What are you doing?

What?

You. Why are you blushing?

What did you think about?

Me? I'm not. It's nothing.

Why? Does someone like you?

It's not like that.

It's not like he asked me out.

Oh my.

Don't make it obvious that you're so happy.

How can I?

It's making me feel so awkward as is.

So someone did profess his feelings to you.

You little...

Mom. Eun Ho is dating someone.

- Some boy likes her. - Stop.

- Stop! - Mom.

Hey, stop! Mom, it's not true.

Have breakfast before you go.

Why is she going to school so early in the morning?

I'm leaving too.

What's gotten into them?

Hey... You...

Why are you here...

at this hour?

What about you? You're always late to class.

I...

I happened to...

wake up early today.

Me too.

I woke up early today too.

So...

So... Well...

I'll see you later.

Goodness, that was so awkward.

Is it going to be him and me alone in the classroom?

Gosh, it's so awkward.

Just the thought of it makes me feel awkward.

Eun Ho must be alone in the classroom now.

It's driving me crazy.

Byung Goo, that punk.

Why are you here?

Why aren't you in the classroom?

Well...

I was about to go there.

Never mind.

I lost something.

Okay.

Rumors are created by something random.

You try to kill them, but they survive.

It's a diary.

They reveal the weight they carry...

- through unexpected ways. - "Bo Ra"?

(School 2017, The Weight Rumors Carry)

You're under the cooling-off period,

so you need to take classes...

regarding dropping out of school.

Mr. Shim, I'm going to drop out of school anyway.

What's the use in taking classes?

Still, it's not completely over yet.

Let's wait.

- I'm okay. - I'm not okay.

I'll find a way somehow,

so please wait a little more. I'm sorry, Bo Ra.

(Seo Bo Ra)

Bo Ra.

Is this yours?

I found it by the woods. Is it yours?

Yes.

Thank you.

Are you taking dropout classes?

I have to until the end of this week.

You must be going through a lot.

Do tell me if you need any help.

No, I'm fine.

- Hey... - Eun Ho.

Aren't you going to treat me to patbingsu?

- What patbingsu? - You promised me.

I fixed your bike for you.

Do I have to say it out loud?

Say what?

- All right, I get it. - No, I was just kidding.

Don't smile like that.

It makes my heart beat.

I ride it because of that, and it makes me cool.

It's terrible.

It's terrible indeed.

What are you doing?

Stay still.

Here.

You bother me too much.

We were friends.

But what is this...

feeling?

It's so frustrating.

Sa Rang.

What is it? You've been so super busy.

What's wrong?

Did I hurt your feelings or something?

No. It's not like I'm hurt,

but if you ask if you hurt my feelings, I can't deny.

Someone said I should tell you.

That's right. I'm hurt! Very hurt!

You've been inattentive to me.

I have?

You're right.

I'm so sorry.

If you apologize...

so quickly,

what does that make me?

I've been so out of it lately...

because a bomb dropped on me.

You'll forgive me, right?

What bomb?

The thing is...

What's wrong with my life?

It's about...

Tae Woon, isn't it?

How did you know that?

It's so obvious.

I could tell from the way he looks at you.

I bet Tae Woon...

is bothering you.

He follows you around and always stares at you.

He's always...

looking at me?

Yes. I swear I can see lasers shooting out.

Should I say something?

Should I just...

No. It's okay. It's fine.

Stop being so nervous.

I won't bite.

I am not.

This is too awkward to bear.

Regardless, I understand how you feel.

I refuse to consider it.

What?

So you'll do as you please again?

Exactly.

I can't do as I want, and it's driving me mad.

I'm going to keep doing as I want from now on,

so you do as you want.

That's right. Now that's Tae Woon.

Jerk.

(Final Exams)

Finals.

(Final Exams D-10)

At least you still have 10 days.

Let's work hard and end on a high note.

Mr. Shim.

Why must the high note come from grades?

- That's right. - Exactly.

- That's so wrong. - It's not fair.

- I agree. - Right?

Exactly.

Regardless, let's end on a high note somehow.

Have a nice day.

- I'm dead. - Anyway,

I'll end on a high note.

I'm going to sleep here.

No way. That's absurd.

I mean it.

You heard too.

Heard what?

The other class kids are all talking about it.

That Bo Ra and Hee Chan dated last year.

Hee Chan and Bo Ra?

If that were true, it would be huge.

Hee Chan? No way.

He dated Bo Ra?

Of course, it's a lie.

Hee Chan isn't crazy.

Come to think of it,

I think I heard that too.

Yes. I heard someone saw Bo Ra...

outside a hospital.

A hospital?

What kind of hospital?

Idiot. Isn't it obvious?

High school sweethearts.

Hospital.

- Hey. - Hey.

High school sweethearts. Hospital.

What?

Oh my gosh.

Let me get yours.

Sure.

Am I insane?

Why would I date a loser like her?

What...

are you doing?

Can't you tell?

I'm showing off my long legs.

You are so creative...

in how you show off.

Hey.

Even if it is awkward, how could you use that...

as an excuse to give up on your dream?

- My dream? - Why aren't you drawing?

A series is a promise to the readers.

You need to upload new episodes quickly.

I will!

And I think...

you don't understand X's feelings at all.

That's why you have only one reader.

His feelings?

- What don't I understand? - Any of it.

I'm saying this purely professionally.

I'll tell you how X feels.

What would you have done without me?

Follow me!

Move it.

What?

Move it. You're too close.

You need more distance?

There.

A comfortable distance.

I'll maintain it at all times.

You know when he runs away...

Yes?

You said you'd maintain the distance.

Hey. What do you take me for?

Distance?

I know how to be professional...

and separate work from pleasure.

I just don't do it, that's all.

It's too hard.

I'll stick to you like glue.

I won't let go.

Keep...

Keep...

a greater distance.

It's not that I don't want to.

I'm afraid...

of truly understanding someone's feelings.

It's the first time...

(It's the first time)

someone said they liked me.

(someone said they liked me.)

Oh my. We can see how X really feels.

It makes it much more fun. Exclamation mark.

It really seems like X is giving you advice.

X must be very, very handsome...

What am I doing?

Someone gave this to me.

Who did?

What?

Well... My assistant gave it to me.

It's half spicy, half fried.

Eat and study.

Get your grades up, or else!

I'm so angry.

Your dad says you're dumb because you take after me.

I'm sorry.

If you can't come in first at a school like this,

you won't stand a chance at Seoyul Law School.

They're all geniuses.

You have a personal consultant,

and a tutor for each subject.

Why are you always coming in second?

You have to beat Dae Hwi this time.

No matter what. Got it?

Oh my gosh. You haven't eaten at all.

Eat up.

You need your energy. Eat.

Hey, sorry,

but may I see your notes from literature class?

My outline for the exam.

Outline?

Gosh.

Thanks.

Let's talk, Dae Hwi.

Did you do a background check on me?

It wasn't...

- intentional. - Did you have fun?

Did I seem like a pathetic loser,

lying to everyone?

It's not like that, Nam Joo.

So you should've told me!

That you knew everything, and to stop!

Why?

Why that day?

Did you have to do that on that day?

Because it was our 200th day.

Because...

I thought a lot about our days together,

and whether or not we should...

keep it going.

Don't try to pretend to be nice now.

You never had feelings for me.

I wasn't blind.

Then you shouldn't have...

told those stupid lies.

How do you think I felt, suspecting you?

That's why I gave you a chance.

I told you to be honest and to tell me everything!

A chance?

Who are you to give me a chance?

And you? Are you real from head to toe?

Coward.

What was I to you?

Didn't you keep me around to show me off to others?

Nam Joo.

How could you say that?

Did you...

even like me?

Let's talk later.

Dad. I told you not to come to the school.

My daughter.

You like their pastries.

Share them with the others. Go on.

Nam Joo.

Isn't this your dad's company?

Shingang Transportation.

Yes, that's right. It's my dad's...

taxi company.

I see.

But hey. You live in a really nice area.

I'm going to walk home alone from here.

Okay, then.

Everything about me seems fake.

It's all lies.

Hey. Who doesn't lie?

Everyone has his or her reason for it.

Really?

Happy 200th day.

Thanks for everything.

I was happy.

I hope we...

(I was happy. I hope we)

(I was happy.)

Hello? Is this Shingang Transportation?

I'm friends with the CEO's daughter.

Excuse me? His daughter?

Our CEO doesn't have a daughter.

Who is this?

(Nam Joo)

Look.

- It's so spicy. - Awesome.

Issue is an outcast in Geumsang Chunmhwa.

Maybe it's true that he'll be kicked out.

- It must be. - He keeps missing school.

- You're right. - I bet.

That's not true. My honey had a concert abroad.

Hey. Who's Issie?

Not Issie. It's Issue.

Exactly. Issie.

Who is that?

Issue. Issue! It's Issue!

Gosh.

Darn it.

Issue is not an outcast.

Everyone online says Issue is an outcast.

Is everything posted online true?

I'll report you guys to my honey's agency...

for spreading false rumors about him.

But...

why would you report them?

It's true.

I am an outcast,

and I'll be kicked out soon.

What?

Didn't you know already?

No. Well...

I knew you didn't have as many gigs...

and that you missed too many days of school,

but being an outcast...

That kind of sounds like you're dissing me.

No, no.

Then are you really getting kicked out?

No.

I'm leaving first.

Really? Then you'll have nothing to do.

Hey!

Then let's...

Don't make things worse. Want to die?

Honey. Let's go.

I'm not your honey.

It would be fun if he joined me.

(I will catch X! I'll get my job back!)

Rumors?

That the kids think so-and-so is X.

Things like that.

I'm not supposed to say.

Eat up.

Rumors about X?

I don't want any.

Do you want soju?

You're X, right?

I bet he has pale skin.

That's why he wears a black hood.

Wow. It's like CSI in here.

I drink only strawberry milk.

So? Who's suspicious?

I have a great sense about these things.

I think...

it's someone who's super quick.

They never caught him all this time.

That's right.

I'm sure X is...

super fast. And runs 100m in 11 seconds.

You run 100m in 12 seconds, right?

Nam Joo.

What?

Does your family really run Shingang?

What?

My mom said their CEO was still single.

Well...

She must be mistaken.

It's not like it's a small company.

How could the workers know the CEO's personal life?

Everyone can find out things like that.

Maybe it's a rumor.

They must be mistaken...

because your dad doesn't talk about his family.

Rumors fly so quickly.

Rumors are a problem.

Jung Il.

The bell's about to ring. Sit in your seat.

Was it you?

What?

The one who told about us.

I heard I was pregnant.

Why would I spread a rumor like that?

Is this why you called me here?

Then who else?

No one else knows other than us.

Maybe someone else does.

There are no secrets in this world.

Bo Ra.

You know...

my mom will kill me if she finds out.

What does that have to do with me?

You really never told anyone...

about us?

I didn't. Ever.

Please.

You really never told anyone about us?

Is this yours?

I found it by the woods. Is it yours?

My diary.

I had lost it not too long ago.

What do you mean?

The one...

where you and I wrote each other letters.

Eun Ho found it for me, but...

Are you insane?

How could you lose that?

Why do you still carry it with you?

I don't think she read it.

How could she not?

Where is she?

Hey. Dimwit.

What are you looking at? Go.

She looked like her.

Where is she?

Did you start the rumor?

What nonsense is that?

Bo Ra's diary.

You must have read it.

Me?

What are you saying?

You should've kept your mouth shut.

She and I aren't like that.

She liked me and followed me around.

I didn't read anything.

Seriously.

Where are you going?

Tell the kids it's a lie.

It's stressing me out. I'll bomb my finals!

You've really lost your mind.

Hey.

Hee Chan!

Hey. I know it was you.

It wasn't me.

Bo Ra. What were you doing down there?

It was you.

It wasn't me.

- What's going on? - It was you!

- It wasn't me! - Then who was it?

It wasn't me!

Hey...

Hee Chan!

Tae Woon. I'm fine.

- I'm really fine. - Have you lost your mind?

It's okay. Please stop!

The nurse is never in.

Where does she go?

You never stop getting into trouble.

I told you to stick to me.

Who said you could get hurt?

What?

Why was Hee Chan like that?

I don't know.

He thinks...

I spread the rumor that he and Bo Ra dated.

They dated?

I don't know.

I found Bo Ra's diary a few days ago.

I guess that was written in there.

He thinks I read it and spread the rumor...

that they dated.

That punk.

What's the big deal if people know they dated,

that he's doing this?

I wish someone would spread a rumor...

- What? - Nothing.

Let me see. Anyway,

let me see.

Hee Chan.

Stay here.

Tae Woon!

Why did you come out? Stay inside and rest.

You're hurt!

Are you going to beat Hee Chan up?

Yes, I will. 10 times the amount you were hurt.

Stop it.

How do you...

always do as you feel?

Hey. I'm...

angry because of you...

Who told you to fight and get hurt like that?

I get it.

So control your temper, will you?

No, I won't.

I did it for you.

What if he gets a scar on his face?

Eun Ho got hurt too.

That girl apparently is a troublemaker.

That's why she was almost expelled last time!

The school made a mistake that time.

Isn't that right, Mr. Park?

I'm the acting principal for the time being.

He's my predecessor.

Anyway, my predecessor made that decision.

Still, it was wrong to go into the teachers' office.

Not very wrong. Just slightly.

See? She's the problem.

Problem?

Your son hit Eun Ho first.

Why you little...

Do you know who Hee Chan's dad is?

- He's a prosecutor... - Who cares?

What about you? Do you know who my husband is?

Do you know Ra Soon Bong?

- Ra what? - Ma'am.

Please calm down.

You'll end up fighting yourselves too. Calm down.

The ethics have hit rock bottom.

Stop talking about ethics, Mr. Removed Principal.

Call the school violence commission.

I'll show you what the law is about.

Let's do it. I'm not scared...

of the stupid commission.

Don't bother me. Get lost.

I came to see how much...

that face that I supposedly hit hurts.

Are you insane?

Yes. I've lost my mind completely. I've gone mad.

Are you excited...

about making me sound like I hit you?

Leave me alone. Scram.

You hit me.

I won't move an inch until you apologize.

I said to scram!

Exams are coming up. Keep it down.

You're disturbing the others.

Dae Hwi. I don't think you should get involved.

She's the one who disturbed me first.

Look who's talking.

Let's step outside.

What are you doing?

You hit girls too, now?

There was a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

A misunderstanding?

Should I misunderstand you too?

Then may I beat you up?

What are you doing?

If I did as I pleased, you'd be dead by now.

Why are you interfering with Eun Ho's matter?

Why would you?

Why do you think?

Look.

If you touch Eun Ho again,

you're really dead.

See? I'm not playing.

Give me the diary.

No. Why?

It says everything about us.

So what if it does? You want to destroy it?

What if the kids see it again?

Are you that humiliated that we dated?

Bo Ra.

That's not it.

Why? Are you afraid people will know what you did?

What did you just say?

What was that?

Get over here.

Hey.

Are you following me now?

You know my mom will kill me if she finds out.

So apologize.

For what?

What did I do wrong?

You started the rumor. How could you?

I didn't lie.

It's true...

that you're easy.

No?

You're despicable.

Let go.

I know you flirt with all the guys.

Do you know why I dumped you?

This is why.

You're obsessive.

You don't even apologize after hitting me anymore.

Does your family know how abusive you are?

- Shut it. - I'll tell everyone.

I'll tell the school...

and I'll tell your mom.

I'll tell all the kids...

Go ahead!

Fine. Go ahead and tell them.

You know...

what will happen if you do.

That's enough.

Look at this.

Harassing girls is a habit, isn't it?

Let her go.

Stay out of it.

Sorry,

but I've become interested in other people's lives.

No.

It isn't "other people" anymore.

I said to let go while I'm being nice.

Stop here.

Or keep going if you want.

See what happens.

My diary.

I had lost it not too long ago.

The one where you and I wrote each other letters.

Bo Ra.

You're a critical witness.

You won't hurt Eun Ho by talking.

You just have to say what happened...

between Hee Chan and Eun Ho.

I really don't know anything.

Does it make life easier if you say you don't know?

- Sorry? - You said that last time,

and ended up being the one who hit Bit Na,

and the thief who stole her notes.

I don't think it's that great.

Ms. Han.

I'm saying judge wisely.

What will make your life easier?

Bo Ra.

You saw everything.

Why do you keep acting like you didn't?

I don't know anything. I didn't see anything.

- Bo Ra. - I really don't know...

and don't want to.

I'm not asking you to lie.

You can just say what you saw.

You can do that much, can't you?

Do you think...

anything will change if I do talk?

Do you think...

you can beat Hee Chan if I talk?

So...

you weren't talking on purpose.

Is it...

because of the rumor about you and him?

Bo Ra.

Wait.

I have nothing to say to you.

Did Hee Chan send you again?

It's not like that.

I was just worried.

Don't be.

I'm doing just as you told me to last time.

I'm going to lose anyway,

so I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Bo Ra.

- Back then... - Back then,

I thought you were being sincere.

That's why I stopped.

Because I didn't know you were a selfish jerk.

Back then...

I'm really sorry for back then.

But...

it wasn't all a lie.

Tell Hee Chan to relax,

that I won't do anything that would hurt him.

(School Violence Statement Ra Eun Ho)

(Seo Bo Ra: They were both hurt already.)

(I don't know anything, so stop asking me.)

This seems more like an investigation...

than counseling.

Questioning one person at a time...

If you want to find out the truth,

you have to investigate.

Rather than the truth,

I want to find the real kids in here.

I don't want to treat the kids...

like a cop investigating a crime.

You must find the truth...

in order to find the real people within.

The pain they suffer in the process..

Is unavoidable.

I know that too, but they're still young.

They can still talk it out and make up.

They're not young. They're 18.

You have no idea...

how frightening it is when the kids...

start to become cruel.

Still, I can't give up on them.

They're young enough to turn themselves around.

They're still 18.

I guess so.

Soo Ji. Would you like to eat...

Don't you ever go home? You're such a pain.

Why are you here?

Were you ever a guidance counselor?

I'm not crazy. I'd never.

- Is this that crazy? - It is.

It's like hugging a bomb.

Once it explodes,

you can't do anything else.

Like that sick man right there.

It really seems like a police investigation.

Who said what,

what happened when...

Once you listen and note everything they say,

you have no time to think.

You still have to teach,

meet with parents,

counsel the kids...

And put everything down in a written report.

It really kills the teacher in charge.

You're right.

Still, there's no need...

to look at him so sorrowfully.

I should make my round. I can use the exercise.

Sounds good. Just the two of us.

No. Not just the two of you!

No.

Goodness.

(Hanil Hair Salon)

(Nam Joo)

I can't break up like this.

I wasn't the only one who lied.

What about your feelings?

Were they all real?

They weren't all fake.

The thing is... I had no choice.

I didn't mean to lie from the start.

The kids assumed...

that I was...

from a rich family.

To be honest,

I didn't want to deny it.

Nam Joo.

You're right. I was embarrassed.

When you asked if it was my dad's taxi company,

I didn't want to say my dad was a taxi driver.

It was too embarrassing.

Nam Joo.

I know.

I know exactly why you did it.

How could I judge you?

Then why?

Then why?

Can't you forgive me just this one time?

I won't lie again.

I won't deceive you ever again.

You said you liked me.

Wasn't that...

feeling real?

I did like you.

When I first saw you,

you looked so pretty when you smiled.

When you sat next to me,

I was super excited.

But...

that wasn't the only reason why I liked you.

I think maybe...

I didn't want to acknowledge your lies.

Perhaps I liked...

the rich girl Nam Joo...

more than the poor girl Nam Joo.

I have...

no right to like you.

- Hey. - What's for lunch?

Spicy pork.

I'm hungry.

You have to take care of Eun Ho quickly,

like back then.

What?

You don't want to?

To be honest,

I don't feel right about it.

I don't want to get involved anymore.

I'd like you to stop...

asking me to do these things.

So you want to survive alone.

Are you threatening me?

I'm telling you the truth.

If what happened last year gets out,

I won't go down alone.

You'll get hurt too.

Is that okay?

I don't care.

So don't...

Don't act brave. You're scared inside.

To be blunt,

I can just go to college abroad if things go south.

My family will just reset my life for me anyway.

But not you. It'll be over for you.

We've done well until now.

Why are you doing this?

Let's fix this.

Okay?

Aren't you ashamed?

Stay out of my life.

You coward.

You threaten a weak girl and ruin her life,

but you act all nice in front of the others,

like you're righteous and just.

How amusing.

If Eun Ho really is X's accomplice...

Hey!

This is huge.

I won't let you fight alone.

I won't let you be lonely.

Trust me. Be strong. Let's fight.

Did something happen with Bo Ra...

- Are you okay? - Last year?

Do you really want to regret it?

We're confident.

I want to ask you to do something else.

Eun Ho, by any chance...

Are you confident?

So am I.
