I told you to stop.

(Happy Birthday Haerim! Fail the exam you worked so hard for.)

(Episode. 05 It Was Too Good to Be True)

I can't even recognize who you are.

Stop rambling and go take a shower.

If I put makeup on, I don't do well on my exams.

I get low grades if I take a shower as well.

Both of you get bad grades on exams anyways.

Jinx.

Something you just believe will happen.

(Do Hana)

Everyone has

a jinx.

Why do you have so many jinxes when you always get good grades?

Is that so odd?

I bet you'll do well, even if you study the wrong chapter.

Don't you think so?

Did you do well?

No.

I didn't study enough last night.

How come? You studied with us yesterday.

That's right.

You betrayed us and went with the smart guys.

Hey.

Betrayed you?

Of course, we were the ones who went to play games first.

We're going to study today for sure.

Let's go to a study cafe.

I don't want to.

You guys should come to the library, too.

No thanks, the library is too quiet.

We can't play and study there.

Library is for people who don't even need to study.

I study really hard though.

They don't go there because they don't know how to study.

What?

I know how to study!

You're being so condescending.

You'll come along, right?

No.

-Let's go, you and me. -To an internet cafe?

Yes.

(Library)

(We're going to study for reals With Do Hana and Cha Kihyun)

(Lee Juhui and 22 others liked.)

(Kim Hana and 23 others liked.)

Hi.

You came to the library.

I saved a seat for you.

Thank you, what a relief.

Can you show me your Ethics notes for page 160?

-Ethics page 160? -Yeah.

-Here. -Thanks.

I must be tired these days.

I can't pay attention to class because I'm so sleepy.

-You? -Yes.

Yesterday, I almost confused the pages for the exam.

Why did you come to the library?

You said you were going to the study room.

I was worried that

you might overexert yourself while studying.

Don't do that. Stop flirting with everyone.

What do you mean?

I only do it to you.

Sure.

What a waste of your study room.

Why did you pay for it? Such a waste.

I don't like it there, it's too stuffy.

Also, I didn't sign up for it.

My parents did.

Yeah, you're right.

I get tutored for every single subject

and even go to study meetings.

How would I have the time to go to the study room?

Korean parents

are too excessive, whatever it is.

I'm going to study now. Don't talk to me.

Me too.

Have some.

Everyone has their own jinx.

To some, it's not a jinx

but just a way of thinking.

To others,

it's an obstacle you must beat.

To me, a jinx is

just another word for confirmation.

(Finals)

(A-TEEN)

Oh, right.

I keep checking over and over.

Welcome.

(Checklist - Eat almonds in the morning.)

I check everything.

(Tie my hair. Bring my notebook.)

To make sure I don't make any mistakes.

You eat almonds during the exam period, don't you?

What?

Oh, yes. It's because of my jinx.

Aren't you going to buy coffee?

Right, coffee!

Here you go.

I almost ruined it.

But, how did you know?

Just because. You know I'm interested in you.

-Come on, stop joking around. -I'm serious!

Don't you have your mom's card to use?

No, I just use cash.

Is that another one of your jinx?

Don't you have too many?

People might mistake you for a shaman or something.

It must be hard for you.

Do you work both the evening and night shift?

I do. I'll be getting off work soon.

Good luck.

Art major.

Sure. Bye then.

I swear I didn't study.

-Quiz me. -This is important.

What was Bacon's ideology?

-Liberalism? -It's empiricism.

They're like the same thing!

I didn't study all the way up to page 196.

Go study more.

Seriously?

Did you just tell me to study?

Francis Bacon once said,

You just made a big mistake.

"By far the best proof"

"is experience."

I'm so sorry!

Don't worry, it's okay.

Good luck with your study.

People who experienced having a Jinx

believe they just need to avoid

that experience.

No. It's not.

-No! -Why not?

It's exam time, take your seats.

-I don't want to. -Go to your seat.

Yeo Boram, go back to your seat.

Yes, sir.

Good luck.

-Did you guys study? -No, sir.

What did you do then?

That's what jinx is.

Pass it to the back.

The thing is, people want to make sure

not what they're certain of

but the uncertainties.

(Ethics and Ideology)

The more uncertain it is,

the more anxious they get.

Isn't she a genius?

How did you only get one wrong after studying the wrong pages?

Why's everyone gathered around?

What happened?

We were supposed to study up to page 196.

What's more surprising? The fact that Kim Hana thought it was 169

or the fact that she still only got one answer wrong?

The first part.

No, the fact that she only got one wrong is more shocking.

Are you guys placing bets or something?

It's okay, you'll do better next time.

Did you do well?

What?

I did better than last time.

I think I missed maybe around three or four.

Wow, I think I got like one correct.

Why am I not upset?

While she looks upset because she got one wrong.

-Stop it. -It's just one question.

Why are you all teary?

If that was me, my mom would've ordered fried chicken

and prepared a red carpet for me.

-I said, stop. -It's just one question.

I'm jealous.

I studied all the pages,

-but she's still better. -I told you to stop!

-What? -I told you to stop.

I studied.

To me, a jinx is

I mean...

just another word for anxiousness.

I just thought...

Checking over and over again

means you're feeling anxious.

I'm just saying it isn't a big deal.

It may not mean anything to you.

You dimwit.

Why wouldn't it mean anything to me?

-I care about my grades too! -Only during finals?

I take care of my grades the whole semester and year.

No, every single day!

Don't cry.

The more I make sure, the more anxious I get.

The better things work out,

the bitter it gets.

Wait.

Your nose is bleeding.

Hey, hey!

Are you okay? Let's go to the infirmary.

No, it's fine. I can plug some tissues in it.

-Thanks. -No, you're not fine.

You're overworking yourself.

Let's go.

I'm worried that you might

overexert yourself while studying.

Why did you come to the library?

You said you were going to the study room.

I was worried that

you might overexert yourself while studying.

It's a jinx.

That is why

I'm feeling anxious.

I'm sorry about before.

It's the first time you and I are alone together.

Yeah, you're right.

I mean I was...

I never saw you get so angry before.

I was surprised.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Are you and Min dating?

What?

I mean, it's just that...

You two study at the library together.

So I thought you might be.

Not at all, we aren't dating.

It's okay, you can let me know.

-We aren't dating. -You can be honest.

-We're not. -You can tell me.

You like Boram, right?

You like her, right?

-I don't. -You like her.
