(Ko Ha Neul)
(Class 3-3 Emergency Contact List)
What is this?
Did he already choose which classes to take?
(Withdrawal Notice, Hwang Bo Tong)
What...
have I...
been missing all this time?
(Class 3-5, 2020 College Admissions Results)
(Koo Jae Hyun Hankuk Medical College Jin Yoo Ra Yeonhui Medical College)
(Lee Min Gyu Yeonhui Mathematics Hwang Ji Hye Yeonhui Pharmacology)
(Ma Dong Hoon Seogyeong City College)
True.
The world isn't made up of only kids like Yoo Ra and Jae Hyun.
Right?
(Hwang Bo Tong)
This stupid house.
Are you staying up tonight too?
What about tomorrow?
I withdrew.
(Black Dog)
(Episode 15)
(Withdrawal Notice, Hwang Bo Tong)
He dropped off the withdrawal notice and hasn't called or texted since.
Not having any students is the best,
isn't it?
(Messages)
Ms. Ko, Jae Hyun says he misses you.
But I miss you more.
Good morning.
My adorable babies.
I take back what I said.
It's awesome having students.
Why are you talking to your teddy bear?
Aren't they the same ones?
What is this? Did you guys get matching teddy bears?
I guess that's true.
Ms. Park won this teddy bear.
And I won that one.
Why did you guys do that?
Why did you guys switch teddy bears you won?
Can't you just keep the ones you won?
No.
(List of Senior Withdrawals)
I'll share the list of seniors who requested...
to withdraw from school this month.
Oh, my. A lot of seniors are withdrawing this year.
My gosh. You're right.
There are more students compared to last year, right?
Yes.
That's a shame.
I can't believe it.
They got matching teddy bears.
(Hwang Bo Tong)
(Ms. Ko Ha Neul: Where are you?)
Where are you?
(Icarus Year 2)
Why did you do it?
It wasn't me.
Then...
why were you standing there right at that moment?
I'm sorry.
My goodness. Seriously.
I didn't suspect you.
I'm so bad at that. I'm serious.
I really can't do it.
I fought a lot when I was in college...
because I didn't want to do it.
I had to wash the socks too.
Everything including shirts and pants too.
I am sorry that I didn't believe you.
(I'm on my way to school.)
I'm on my way to school.
Actually, one of my students in my homeroom wants to drop out.
Why?
This kid...
won't go to college and will try to pass the civil servant exam.
The student wants to study for the test. What can I do?
How could I get in the way?
Then, once the principal approves, the student will go to WeClass.
The student gets transferred right away?
Yes. There's a waiting period when kids withdraw for one week.
They need to undergo counseling at WeClass for a week.
But if the students are still adamant about dropping out,
then we let them go as we have no choice.
A week?
Here you go.
Thank you. It's hot.
Goodness.
(NEWIS)
You're going to hold after-school classes with Ms. Ko?
Yes.
What about Icarus? You won't teach those students?
Well, I'm sure a lot of teachers...
would want to teach top students.
Why would you give that up?
Teaching Icarus students is so much easier.
Well, you know,
- it's... - What?
Let's see what I got.
(List of Senior Withdrawals)
Oh, my.
There are so many students who want to drop out.
Really?
How many are there?
Look.
My gosh. Oh, no.
(List of Senior Withdrawals, Hwang Bo Tong)
Ms. Ko still didn't agree to take on Icarus?
Well, she's quite determined.
Then, will the new teacher take on the club?
Probably. Only one teacher volunteered to do it.
How could we let her do that?
The club got expanded so there are 50 students this year.
There's a lot of work.
Besides, it's quite a mess now that arts and sciences were combined.
On top of that, students in Icarus are coming up with more demands.
How dare they choose their own teacher for after-school classes?
Who knows what they'll demand next?
Right.
We need experienced teachers in this day and age.
Then, you can take on the club yourself.
You are experienced.
(This is the School Administration.)
This is the School Administration.
Your performance evaluations for 2019 are now available for viewing.
Check your performance-based bonuses...
and contact the office if you have any objections.
What? Is it time?
I'm nervous. I've never gotten a bonus before.
It's all right. You have me.
Why don't you open yours first?
- Should I check mine first? - Yes.
My gosh, what is it? What? Let me see.
Goodness!
Seriously. You got a nice vibe from Jukjeon.
Great. Nice.
Let's check yours.
Let's check mine.
Let's check.
(Your performance evaluations for 2019 are now available for viewing.)
All right.
Here I go.
- In 1, 2, 3. - In 2, 3.
You know,
there are so many things to raise objections about.
What are the standards they use to evaluate our performance?
Same here, man. I can't believe this.
What did you get among S, A, and B?
Me?
I got a B.
You guys fought again?
Goodness, you're unbelievable.
My students caused trouble throughout the year.
School violence and complaints.
If they gave me a tough class to take care of,
shouldn't they have given me extra points?
But I got a B...
because I didn't take on a lot of tasks.
The same goes for Mr. Do. He got an A, not an S.
Seriously?
Why not? You taught a lot of classes.
And your peer-review was good. You also had a homeroom.
And you do lectures for EBC.
Right.
Yes, well...
I didn't take on additional duties,
and I don't have many points that count toward promotions.
So I didn't get many points there.
That's why.
Listen.
They should give more points to teachers...
who work hard on their lessons.
You know? I agree that teachers who took on tasks...
the others tried to avoid should get more points.
But...
giving more points to people who already have high scores...
because they are trying to get promoted...
Goodness, it's so unfair.
It's strange that they would evaluate teachers...
and give out scores, S, A, and B, to begin with.
- Right. - You know?
Schools are different from companies.
Isn't this really unfair?
Why are you so quiet?
I hate everything.
You didn't get an S, did you?
When they evaluate teachers' performances,
the principal and vice principal are bound to affect the scores.
Gosh.
You want to give extra points to teachers who will take on Icarus?
Yes.
Why must we go so far?
Ms. Ko Ha Neul said she won't do it,
and no one else wants it.
There is one new hire,
but we can't trust her with it.
But a performance-based bonus is a sensitive issue.
No one else will step up. What other options do we have?
It's not like I can do it.
It's because you made it too burdensome.
You increased the number compared to last year,
but you want to give them even more benefits.
That's why we got a kid into Hankuk Medical College.
Our school is on the up and up.
Isn't it only natural...
to give extra points for tasks that everyone is avoiding?
Without a teacher, there's no Icarus.
Without Icarus,
the top students in our school will be left out to dry.
Let's think about it for now.
Yes, sir.
There's a waiting period when kids withdraw.
They need to undergo counseling at WeClass for a week.
(Withdrawal Waiting Period D-7)
Is this WeClass? I'm the homeroom teacher for Class 3-3.
Did Hwang Bo Tong go today for counseling?
Pardon? He left already?
When?
I see.
Thank you.
(Contacts)
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
(WeClass)
I couldn't really adjust to school life...
- College Advisory. Ko... - This is WeClass.
Bo Tong didn't come today.
Hello?
Okay.
If he doesn't come to counseling again today,
it'll count as an unexcused absence.
Even if he decides later not to withdraw,
he may be forced to.
Okay. I understand.
Ms. Park.
Hi.
(Teacher in charge of Icarus will receive 2 additional points)
What is this? Seriously.
I'm speechless.
What? If you take on Icarus?
Ms. Park! Ms. Ko!
- What? - Did you see this?
What is it?
Since you quit Icarus...
and no one else will do it,
they say whoever does...
will get additional performance points.
They should give extra points for working harder on the classes.
What is this garbage?
They're saying they'll give extra points...
because it's a critical task that everyone is avoiding.
- Let's just go home. - Gosh.
Why is this so critical?
Mr. Song is so transparent.
We got a student into Hankuk Medical College last year,
so he wants to make it bigger.
From what the seniors said last year,
only the top-level kids went to good colleges.
We heard the bottom kids all just died.
Yes?
Is Mr. Song Young Tae in?
Mr. Song?
He stepped away from his desk.
Sir.
Vice Principal Moon.
This is just so unfair.
We've been holding ourselves back since last year.
What's going on?
Their children were seniors last year.
About Icarus.
Icarus?
They graduated, but they're taking a year off to reapply to college.
Neither of them got into Icarus last year.
And...
Mr. Song wrote them thoughtless student records...
because they didn't get good grades.
This is your way of discriminating against the kids.
I heard the Senior Class Group created it!
No, no. You seem to be mistaken.
The Senior Class Group didn't create it.
It was voted on by all the teachers. That's how it came about.
Please calm down.
Where's the head of the Senior Class Group?
My child cried for three hours...
after failing to get into that club. Three hours!
Goodness.
We need to talk to him. Where is he?
Where is Mr. Song anyway?
I'll try calling him.
(Traitor)
This traitor.
The person you have reached is not available.
- He isn't picking up? - No. Well...
He won't pick up.
Keep trying. You try too.
Okay.
Why isn't he coming?
Should I text him or something?
First, tell him not to come here.
They'll just end up fighting if he does come.
Yes, sir.
Parents came to the office.
You should avoid...
No.
Mr. Moon. May I speak with you for a minute?
(Hwang Bo Tong)
You have to come today.
Your absences have been counted as unexcused.
Where is the head of the Senior Class Group?
Please calm down.
We need to complain to him...
about giving special treatment to the Icarus kids!
Every time my child came home and told me about it last year,
it ate me up inside.
She said the school was only backing up the smart kids.
My goodness.
There's Mr. Song.
- Oh my gosh. - Mr. Song!
Oh my gosh! Mr. Song!
- Mr. Song! - Mr. Song!
Let's talk? Where are you going?
Mr. Song!
Exactly!
(Distinguished Teacher's Office)
(Distinguished Teacher's Office)
Come by if you get bored.
(Distinguished Teacher's Office)
You came by.
Just a minute.
Here.
Do you want one?
If you want to say something, go ahead.
I'm not the principal anymore.
Can I say anything I want?
Of course.
I...
have no friends at school.
So I withdrew.
I feel like the school doesn't need me.
You see, I'm a loser.
Do you know what the kids who didn't get into Icarus...
are thinking?
You discriminate against us.
You don't even look at us because we couldn't get in.
We thought our school will reach its prime...
if we got someone into Hankuk Medical College.
But in our efforts to save the kids on top,
we had shoved the rest of the kids into the sidelines.
I'm here too.
But to be honest, even teachers don't care about someone like me.
Maybe it's because of my name.
What's your name?
Bo Tong.
They say your name decides your destiny.
I guess that's why.
You're in Class 3-3, right?
Yes.
Ms. Ko Ha Neul's class?
And in Ms. Park Sung Soon's class freshman year.
You never spoke with Ms. Park after what happened,
did you?
It wasn't me.
I didn't post that in the chat room.
Okay. Really?
Okay. Hey.
Hello.
Can we chat for a bit?
Okay.
So?
What do you propose we do?
Why don't we get rid of Icarus?
May I meet your parents?
My parents?
You submitted a withdrawal.
I have to meet your parents.
Otherwise, I'll get in trouble.
You get in trouble from the principal, right?
What do you keep taking pictures of?
Want to see?
You took so many.
(Ko - Neul)
That's right. I should've deleted this.
This was on the school homepage briefly.
But they shouldn't do that.
So I took a picture,
but they deleted it right away.
I deleted it.
You didn't have to.
I really don't care about things like that.
Still. What good does it do me to keep it?
May I take your picture instead?
You really look like a teacher.
Why did you take so many pictures?
So this is why you make deliveries.
Yes. The main character is a deliveryman.
I need to experience it myself for the story to flow.
Why are you withdrawing from school?
I don't have the grades to go to college.
I'm a nobody at school too.
Still.
You don't have to withdraw from school...
if you're drawing.
I learn more from the outside world than from school.
They don't...
teach us these things in school.
This is where I live.
Okay.
Okay, then.
Who...
(Delicious Noodles)
Who's that?
Hello?
Hello. This is the real estate agency.
Yes.
Your store was sold today. They signed the contract.
I see.
Bo Tong submitted a withdrawal from school.
Did you know?
Yes.
What do you think about it?
Perhaps, if you don't want him to drop out of school, I can...
I am not against it.
It's his life.
What does his mother say about it?
I can't reach her,
but I don't think she'll be against it.
Did she go somewhere?
It's his life.
If things go well, he takes the credit.
If his life gets ruined,
he must be responsible for it.
How can parents tell their kids how to live their lives?
Well, I'm sure you say this to your students.
Once...
they graduate,
they'll move on with their lives.
All else aside,
regardless, someone who gives up on the students first...
is unqualified to be a teacher. Don't you agree?
(Kim Young Ha)
I'm not sure at what point,
I start giving up on my students and how much responsibility...
I must take.
But I know this for sure.
I think...
letting him go...
is the right thing to do.
(Noodles)
[VIU Ver] tvN E15 'Black Dog' "Dropping Out" -โฅ Ruo Xi โฅ-
Hello.
What are you doing? You can't even speak English well.
What are you doing?
Someone is getting ready to leave me soon.
Leave?
Who?
A boy in my class.
It's a student.
Really? Where is he going?
To the moon?
I'm feeling down right now.
Nonsense!
Hey,
do you...
want to go see a late-night movie with me?
Now?
Let's go.
I want to watch...
a movie with you.
Okay. Thank you.
Let's go.
Look at that. It's huge.
Darn it. It's humiliating.
Goodness.
What are you doing?
You've gone mad.
Why? It was a nice movie.
You're so picky.
What? How far are you going to walk with me?
You're complaining even when I walk you home.
I'll get going.
You won't come in?
Go inside.
- Go inside now. - But...
Bye.
Get home safe.
- What are you doing? - You startled me.
Why were you so startled?
Oh, my. Isn't that the owner of the noodle restaurant?
I can't believe you. You should have invited her in.
She left even before I could invite her in.
Goodness.
We should have checked up on her more often.
It's been a while since I visited her.
Right.
I should go see her sometime.
Goodness, you're awful.
You do take after your father. You're so inconsiderate.
Why did you hit her?
Are you okay?
Dad, how could you live with her your entire life?
That's why you should get married late. Okay? Marry late.
Get back inside now. What are you doing out there?
Let's go.
Dad, what a tough life you have.
- Don't even say that. - My gosh.
Goodness, what? What did she say?
Come in.
What brings you here?
I wanted to discuss something with you.
Sir.
Well,
these two teachers...
had something to tell you regarding Icarus.
What is it?
It's about giving extra points...
to the teachers who take on Icarus.
A lot of teachers are unhappy about it.
They are already unhappy...
when their performance-based bonuses get announced.
Taking on Icarus has nothing to do with their classes.
And it's not exactly a task teachers want to avoid.
I would like to ask you to reconsider this matter.
And you haven't been informed that some parents visited...
the Senior Class Group earlier, right?
Well,
Right now, it seems to me...
that the students...
and the parents aren't happy with Icarus.
Well, I was the one who pushed for Icarus,
so I have nothing to say.
But you must right what's wrong, Principal Lee.
We'll now begin the vote...
regarding the discontinuation of Icarus.
(Ballot Box for Teachers)
Students who are in Icarus, students who are not in Icarus,
and all teachers will vote in separate groups.
(Vote Regarding the Discontinuation of Icarus)
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello.
We will now begin tallying the votes.
Against.
For.
The teachers and the students who did not get into Icarus...
mostly agreed to discontinue Icarus.
A majority of the Icarus kids...
also agreed to discontinue it.
For.
It was because of the proposal...
that in exchange for discontinuing Icarus,
we'd create after-school classes per student level...
and a combined arts-and-sciences class.
The result of the vote on the discontinuation of Icarus is...
285 votes for,
and 47 votes against.
Thus, Icarus will be discontinued.
(Vote Regarding the Discontinuation of Icarus)
(Icarus Year 2)
Just like Icarus from the story in mythology...
who ignored the warning not to fly too close to the sun...
and flew too high and ended up falling,
Icarus...
disappeared into history once more.
(Icarus Year 2)
(Icarus Year 2)
(Icarus Year 2)
Now, Icarus is gone.
What will you do with the top kids?
If you thought of a plan, share it with us.
The kids...
kept requesting after-school classes...
based on teacher popularity.
That only made us more tired,
and the kids can't take classes that fit their levels.
That's right. The kids are always ranking teachers' popularity.
Of course, I'm a bit popular,
so it didn't matter to me.
But regardless...
Let's keep the teacher's name anonymous,
and clearly detail the level of difficulty...
of the classes instead.
Although Icarus is gone,
we can still teach the top kids based on their level.
They say the senior schoolwide exam this year...
will have combine arts and sciences.
But the CSAT and our schoolwide exams...
still differentiate classes in the arts versus the sciences.
So...
the teachers should start working on a fusion class...
or create an original class...
that teaches both arts and sciences.
Why don't we try to establish a variety of classes?
If we do that...
Sorry for interrupting. Aren't you going home?
We'll go first.
Goodnight.
Well, actually...
Really?
You want to plan a class with me?
Yes.
Ms. Park and I...
are preparing a joint arts and sciences class.
You teach biology,
and we teach Korean.
So we want to combine biology and Korean...
(Joint in-depth class possible)
We want to teach a fusion class.
Do it with us. Our class is pretty good.
I've never done anything like this before.
Doesn't it sound fun? Right?
Should we give it a shot?
Sure. Well...
That fusion class.
Sit down.
Put your bags down, and sit.
I'll listen to what you have...
to say.
Okay.
Mr. Bae.
I think that part...
No, not that.
If you look at this,
we can find a connection between the two...
(Principal's Office)
Principal Lee.
Hello, sir.
I should be able to retire next year.
The school is doing so well.
I don't know about that.
Are you walking to your car?
- Yes. - I'll walk with you.
Sure.
We renewed your lecturing contract.
We look forward to another great year.
(2019 Bonus and Evaluations)
I didn't take on additional duties,
and I don't have many points that count toward promotions.
So I didn't get many points there.
That's why.
I'm not good enough to do well in both.
- What? - What?
What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
You're avoiding my touch. You're acting weird...
ever since they announced bonuses.
You're all lethargic. You're disappointed, right?
What?
Sure.
You worked so hard on your classes.
It's discouraging, isn't it?
That's not it.
Whatever.
Let's go. My treat.
What are you buying?
What do you want?
- Does anything go? - Naturally.
(Hwang Bo Tong)
(Thank you for yesterday. Please apologize to Ms. Park for me.)
Ms. Park.
Do you have some time?
Sure.
(Noodles)
Gosh.
I don't have a single customer.
Gosh.
My goodness.
It's raining.
Scallion pancakes and rice wine would be just perfect.
Goodness.
Isn't this too much? It's raining.
We'll finish that in no time between three people.
Hello. How have you been?
- I'm good. - Have you been well?
Yes.
What is all of that?
- This? - Well...
It's raining,
so we thought we'd have rice wine and scallion pancakes. Is that okay?
Of course. That sounds great.
Goodness.
My gosh. That looks good.
Give Ha Neul a call.
Ask her to join us.
Sure.
Why aren't you eating? It's my treat.
Can you not eat chicken?
I can't eat chicken.
Really?
Yes.
I can't eat it because I can't afford it.
Just a minute.
Hi.
Now?
I'm with a student.
Right now?
You can go if you're busy.
I'd like to talk to him.
I mean it.
It's hard to talk if someone else is there.
Go.
I'll come now.
Okay.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
Go on.
I'm sorry...
I didn't go to the police station...
that day.
My son was very sick that night.
I didn't go out.
I'm not that disloyal.
(Traffic Division 2)
(Homeroom teacher)
Well,
to be honest, I cursed you out at the police station.
You understand, right?
It's okay.
I cursed you out more in my office.
Did you...
hate me a lot?
Fans who turn into haters are scarier than original haters.
You hated me that much?
Yes.
Because I used to be your fan.
I didn't start that...
in the chat room.
The class president did.
You can refer to this.
What's this?
This?
I bought dinner for your predecessors who went...
to Hankuk University and Yeonhui University...
yesterday.
You bought them dinner?
I want to go to one of the top three schools too.
If I do, will you take me out too?
Of course.
Get into good colleges. I'll buy you...
I thought you went out instead of coming to the station,
so I got a little mad.
But I didn't say anything in the chat room.
When did you go yesterday? Was it for dinner?
Yesterday? Did I say yesterday?
No, it was three days ago.
Jealous?
She said you only like the kids who go to good colleges...
and said some ridiculous things. It was just a few of them.
Most of the kids including myself...
never badmouthed you in the chat room.
It's true.
Then, thanks.
Eat this.
- You're disappointed, right? - Sorry?
I'm disappointed too.
You must feel worse.
I told you, that's not it.
The school doesn't give you...
bigger bonuses because you work harder...
or teach more classes.
People like you and I, who do our best...
behind the scenes where no one sees us,
always get shafted.
Am I right, or am I right?
- Sure. You're right. - See?
To be honest, I worked really hard on my classes.
- I even lost my voice. - That's right.
You know I taught a lot of after-school classes.
That's right. I saw. I saw it all. I'm your witness.
We need to do something.
Let's get matching scarves or something.
- What? - I mean...
Ms. Ko and Ms. Park got matching dolls.
Please don't get jealous over things like that.
Forget it. Let's go take sticker pictures later.
Gosh.
To be honest, I stopped enjoying working at the school a while ago.
It looks like it has become a routine for you now.
You just go through the motions...
like I do.
Let's get matching t-shirts and wear them tomorrow.
You said you hated matching items.
I've changed my mind.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Goodness.
That's tasty.
The color and taste haven't changed one bit.
Goodness. Why are you saying such correct things?
Don't you agree?
Look how pretty it is.
Dad is in a good mood.
You seem to be in an especially good mood today.
Of course. I'm happy.
My heart...
My heart is happy.
My gosh.
You brat.
Out of the blue?
Enough. Stop drinking.
- Dad. I'll pour you one. - What?
- I'll pour you one. - Okay.
I have our teacher, Ms. Ko Ha Neul.
You have your daughter.
Gosh.
It stopped raining. Good.
Goodnight.
You too.
Wait. Hold on. Here.
Must you...
drop out?
I'll keep in touch.
Don't sleep in too much just because you don't have school.
I won't.
Study now and then too.
I will.
Become a good...
adult.
Goodnight.
(I'm rooting for your future unconditionally.)
(Red Ginseng)
I'm rooting for your future unconditionally.
Ms. Park Sung Soon.
They say those who are meant to leave will leave,
but that final moment...
is always sad.
(Noodles)
We watched a movie together...
and had scallion pancakes together.
That's enough.
What's all that noise?
My gosh. I feel like I'll miss hearing that too.
You take care, okay?
We can leave in a bit, right?
Yes.
Know something?
You are...
the first student to give me a withdrawal notice.
It's Normal.
What is?
My webtoon pen name.
Webtoon?
I'll give you an autograph later if I become famous.
Are you sure you'll be happy...
after leaving school?
Well...
You may feel lonely when you wake up in the morning.
Your friends will all be at school but you'll be home alone.
I won't just stay at home.
I'm going to learn from a webtoon artist.
If you start working so early,
you'll realize school is better.
I think I'll learn much more than I can here.
Bo Tong!
Take care of yourself.
And keep in touch now and then.
Yes, Ms. Ko.
Did he leave?
Please...
buy me a drink.
(Ingyedong Pork Rinds)
Do you think I did the right thing?
He says he can learn more out there than in school.
What choice did you have?
What if he regrets it later?
That's also...
his choice.
Ms. Park.
How far must we go?
It's their lives...
to live anyway.
I can't guarantee my son Ha Rang's life forever.
It's the kids' lives.
Even the parents can't control them.
What can we do?
We should just wish them happiness.
Gosh, I'm feeling extra giddy.
Gosh.
That was last year already.
That's right.
Did you retake the exam...
at Daechi High School that winter right after he withdrew from school?
Yes.
They changed it into a general private school exam that year.
What exactly is that general private school exam?
The initial written exam is the same as the teacher certification exam.
In Seoul,
public schools are first choice, and private schools are second.
So,
if I get into my first choice, I go to a public school.
If I don't make the cut,
I go to the second choice which is Daechi High School.
If your scores are low in round one,
you don't get into either public or private schools?
That's right.
In other words,
you had to do well in round one to get into Daechi.
I guess private schools aren't that easy either.
You need to be lucky.
That's right.
So, not long after that kid left,
what did you say happened to your group head,
Ms. Park Sung Soon?
Hello.
I...
You heard about Mr. Ji Hae Won, right?
Yes.
I think...
you're almost there too.
Hang in there for just one more year.
I'll hang on in College Advisory for you.
She promised to hang on...
for one year, but...
She left College Advisory...
without finishing that one year.
But you finished that full year...
and retook the exam for Daechi?
(Heo Young Soo)
(College Advisory Group)
Would you like a drink?
Okay.
Here.
- Good work. - Good work.
- Ms. Ko. - Ms. Park.
Ms. Ko.
Ms. Park.
My gosh.
Yes. I wanted to remain there.
So? What happened?
Ms. Park Sung Soon couldn't keep her promise.
She left College Advisory...
without finishing that year.
(Kim Yoo Ran)
I just got a text from my student. Let's go.
Okay.
- Bye. - Stay in touch.
Still, I wanted to stay.
I wanted to hang on in College Advisory...
until...
Ms. Park returned.
That's why...
I didn't regret spending that last winter retaking the exam...
for a full-time position...
at Daechi,
and I still don't.
