Original subtitles

Parang.

Parang.

Are you still sleeping?

- Parang. - Huh? - Get up.

Get up.

What's all this?

Why are you sleeping on the floor?

Why is Siwon here?

Is this a dream?

Wake up! Why are you sleeping like this?

Huh?!

Okay, it's not a dream.

I was drawing...

You just woke up?

What time did you sleep?

I don't know.

Around sunrise.

Why were you drawing?

You didn't for a while.

Just...

To not think.

To not think?

She knows everything.

What were you thinking this time?

Um...

Just...

Well...

Why are you here?

Mom told me to give you samgyetang.

You didn't hear the doorbell? What is that?

Give me that.

Wow, you got much neater.

I'm getting worse.

You got better.

I can feel something.

Who is this?

Annoyed Siwon with long hair.

- Jeon Jiyeon. - Aha.

What about this?

Siwon with short hair, drooling in her sleep.

This girl at the study room.

What about this?

Siwon who secretly got a perm during a break.

This mean girl from the school next to us.

Next to us? Who is that?

What about this?

Siwon throwing away food waste.

- The girl from the house below. - Below? That's our house.

I meant the house across the street.

All girls.

This is a baby.

Who is this?

Siwon, 9 years old.

I don't know.

I just imagined some of them.

Let me see, come on!

But,

why didn't you draw the eyes?

They are all the same person.

That's the hardest part.

Yeah?

But this is really interesting.

What is?

There is no face.

But I can feel their emotions.

I can just see it.

This is really nice.

You should draw more often.

I always liked your drawings.

Oh no.

And draw me as well.

You did that often when you were young.

Those are all,

Siwon.

Wait.

You?

Why are you so late today?

I woke up late.

You?

Me, too.

Can this be more awkward than this?

You...

Huh?

I'm not going to hold that hand as a friend.

Can my heart beat faster this?

[EP.09 When you really like me, that's when I want to see you]

Attention, bow.

Hello.

- Everybody here? - Yes.

This Friday we have the field trip.

- We'll go hiking. - No...

We'll go hiking this time.

Huh?!

We say hiking but the hill is really low. Okay?

And we'll go with Class 5.

Get fully ready, okay?

Safety is the most important. Don't be in a hurry,

- and be careful, okay? - Yes.

We are always No. 1 in terms of grades.

And to study well, you have to be healthy.

Which means you have to win during this trip too.

- Okay? - Yes.

Climb up and down the hill smoothly,

and wait for Class 5 to come down. Okay?

- Yes. - And...

- If anyone has trouble continuing, tell me right away. - Yes.

Hiking?

Did anybody vote for hiking?

I bought overalls for the trip.

Good thing we don't have to see you wear that.

Did the voting go properly?

Yes.

- Where are we going for the field trip? - We have to go hiking.

Hiking? Horrible.

Arboretum is the best, who voted for hiking?

I told you to check the arboretum.

You idiot, did you get confused again?

- No! - You always mark the OMR card wrong.

I didn't!

That means you seriously solved the questions?

- That's more shocking. - I'm going to kill you.

- It's your score that died. - Hey!

Don't push me, I can push you too!

Low hill...

Low hill...

Time really flies.

I'm so tired.

I can't sleep because of my sister.

Why?

It's the college entrance exam in 100 days.

She's super sensitive,

making me hard to sleep.

But she might be under a lot of stress.

You only have one chance.

What?

It's her second time.

Huh?

Don't you remember cheering for her and giving her the rice cake last year?

Oh right.

This can happen to you, Parang.

If you keep studying like this, you'll be taking the exam again.

We still have a lot of time left.

And I'm going to be okay.

We'll be seniors in the blink of an eye.

You should really study.

I will.

Yeah...

Did you level 1 for all subjects?

Did you...

Why do they have similar names,

and have similar talents?

It's fine!

You can always start now.

Eat that, eat that.

Because you are treating him like a child,

this idiot can't get it together.

You'll be like my sister, playing too hard.

And when her friends all went to college,

she had to go to institutes to study and ate cup-rice all day long.

Hey! How can you say that!

What.

Where are you going?

To study.

Didn't you see his face?

He needs this.

You are looking after him too much.

You will not take responsibility for his life.

Oh, were you planning to?

Stop it. Eat this.

It's not bad to live with him,

since you looked after him for 10 years already.

Shut up.

What was that for?

- Shut up. - Why are you hitting him?

Are you crazy?

You are so dead.

No...

I'm sorry.

I said I'm sorry.

Apologize to him.

What are you doing?

To see Sieon again?

- Okay. - What's okay?

What's okay?

This hurts a bit.

What does?

Oh that.

I...

I prayed that he and I are on the same page.

We really are.

Huh?

I think his love is also unanswered.

Here you go.

What's this?

You'll be hiking tomorrow.

Yes.

That was for Sieon.

There is no point anymore.

You are going too. You take it.

You are giving this to me?

Thankful?

I know.

Why?

She's not listening.

Call the numbers.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

16. The end!

Still haven't arrived yet?

Look at the time. The sun is up and high.

- We are all here. - Oh, you are.

This is a battle, not a field trip.

Go up the hill as if you are an army for independence.

There is a rock at the top, and you'll see a flag.

Take a group photo and come back down. Okay?

- Okay? - Yes. - Okay, done.

- Take care of people next to you. - Yes.

- Call me immediately if something happens. - Yes.

- I'll be right behind you. - Yes.

I don't have good grades.

But I had to show that I do have some talent.

Ouch.

Hold my hand.

We can take time if you are tired.

No, you go first.

- I can't. - How can I leave you like this?

Let's go together, until the end.

Parang.

Siwon.

Hahahahahaha.

Hahahahahahaha.

Why are you laughing like that? So annoying.

Huh?

You go first.

What?

Even if you can't see me, just keep going.

Of course I was planning to do that.

If you say it like that,

I'm having goosebumps.

Get up. Let's get going.

Don't walk and run.

Run, run. Hurry up, move.

Get up, quickly, hurry.

Come here, run, run.

Blue, are you looking at flowers?

Huh? Ah...

The flowers haven't bloomed yet.

I'm about to stop breathing.

Why do they look so okay?

No, I can't leave those two like that.

I should catch up with them.

No, no.

Take some rest...

Was his back this wide?

I can't think straight because he's been acting strange.

I shouldn't lose my mind.

Oh!

Why did you stop like that!

So hard.

What were you thinking?

Were you cursing me again?

Yes! I did!

You were thinking of me, then.

No.

Are we there yet?

This is supposed to be a low hill. I'm exhausted.

Hey! Come on, hurry!

What... Who are you?

Class 5.

You should go back down and come up again.

You look quite healthy.

Why does your teacher want this to be a competition?

He really wants to beat your teacher.

There is no point.

Parang will be the last to come anyway.

Where is he?

There...

Oh, we can't see him anymore.

I could, a second ago.

What? What about Geon?

He went up, a long time ago.

Parang is alone right now?

- What are you doing? - To bring him.

He's not a child.

He can come up by himself.

But he's there all alone. I'll bring him.

What? Let me go.

- I should get going... - I'll go.

You go up.

Huh?

Right, it's going to be really hard to come up again.

Sieon should go instead.

I don't think this is necessary in the first place.

Are you okay? Do you want me to come?

I'm fine.

I'm confused.

What?

You don't think of Parang as your friend,

or as your boyfriend.

But a child to raise.

What do you mean?

He doesn't need protection.

You act like his guardian.

Let's go up.

If I go over that hill,

I will be able to see the guys.

I can do this.

I can say that I got in the wrong way, that's why I was late.

I won't ask for help. That's embarrassing.

I'm okay by myself...

No, not this.

Why did you come down?

I can go up.

I was taking a break and left alone.

I thought you would be closer.

You?

You got left behind?

Two is better than one.

Let's go.

It's because I walked you home.

You don't like going alone, right?

See?

You didn't appreciate me all this time.

You now need me.

You don't have any friends because of your personality.

You can't live without me.

- I saw you crying. - No, I didn't.

I didn't cry!

My eyes look like this, that's all.

Over there?

Right?

I can finally see the end.

Why aren't they coming?

Sieon will bring him back.

Do you have your phone?

No, I left it in the bus.

I can't do this.

You go up. Tell them that we'll be a bit late.

Hey! Siwon!

Why am I so worried?

As she said, Parang is not a kid.

I'm not trying to be his guardian.

You scared me!

Siwon?

You are coming down already?

Why are you alone?

Where is Sieon?

Where are you going? Are you looking for someone?

I'm the last one to go up.

What happened?

Something urgent happened.

Please tell my teacher.

Are you okay by yourself?

Mr. Baek! Why are you so late?

Look at the time. Your stamina is too weak.

Sieon went down.

It looked like something happened.

I don't know exactly what.

Don't worry about him. He'll take care of himself.

- You should call him. - I'm on the mountain.

You should.

And I was the last one to come up,

are there kids who aren't here yet?

Siwon and Parang aren't here yet!

What? I didn't see them on my way.

I'm really weak,

and I'm not good with directions.

Why does the route keep getting narrower?

I'm sure it's this way.

At the crossroads,

you said this was the way!

I knew it. I liked the other way better.

Hey, we don't know it for sure.

- Why don't we go back then? - No.

I can't walk. I'm tired.

Why are you so weak?

How can you not know your way?

Let's go to that rock and get some rest.

Okay!

Hurry up, hurry up.

Don't hurry up. Take your time.

The sun might set soon.

Hurry up.

I saw a crossroads on my way.

I think that's when they got lost.

I'll go that way. Please take care of the rest of the students.

Don't go down earlier than them.

- Okay? - Okay!

Mr. Baek...

Please look after my class.

Who voted for hiking?

I did.

Why?

I wanted to feel the green nature.

There are trees everywhere in the streets.

I can hear you.

What college do you want to go to?

Not sure.

It depends on my grades.

You can go anywhere with those grades.

What major?

It also depends on my grades.

Creative Writing?

You know those things?

I... Looked up on the Internet.

Writers seemed to be going there.

You like writing.

You remember that?

Are you kidding me?

You slapped my back for touching your notebook.

How can I forget that?

Right.

Do you still write novels?

Sometimes?

Wow, about what?

It's always the same?

What?

I have only one story.

I just keep extending the story.

Is it an interesting one?

I don't know about that.

I just write what I want to write.

That should be fun then.

You should publish a book.

So that I can read it without being slapped.

No, I would use a penname so that nobody knows.

That's smart but I don't like it.

What genre, at least?

Um... I think it's romance.

No.

Then what?

If I have to pick one,

a pathetic love story which is not answered.

Why?

Is that about me?

Are you selling me out?

But in the story,

is the love answered in the end?

Or it is never answered?

Well...

I hope it is.

It doesn't seem like it would be answered soon.

It might, sometime in the future.

What do you mean?

The girl in the story says to her crush,

"When you like me the most, that's when I want to see you".

I don't know who her crush is.

When's that?

What?

When is that?...

I want to ask on her behalf.

When,

is that?

[Epilogue]

What should I do to go to a college in Seoul?

Never mind.

Siwon can go to Seoul with her grades.

[OST] [Listen to SUMIN - "You're My Universe" (feat. Golden) on music websites]

[FAILing in Love]

Lee Sieon looks like he's going through a hard time.

The day we went hiking,

did something happen?

Just...

You didn't look all right...

You must not want to talk about it.

I wanted to comfort him but

it seemed like he didn't want to be comforted.

You can talk when you feel like it.

It's not like you I can solve anything but

it will probably be better than worrying about it alone.

So I thought that maybe if I talked about what I was worried about,

Sieon would open up to me too.

To tell the truth, there's something that's been bugging me.

Siwon...

I think I like her.

Because we're friends.

I know.

You might think it's a crush like the other times, but it's not.

But this time it's different.

I don't like her as just a friend...

I don't know... It's different anyways.

I've been thinking about it a lot these days,

and I couldn't come up with a good solution, and you're the only person I've told.

I haven't even told Kim Geon yet.

Is that something you can say that easily?

Huh?

It must be nice to be you.

Everything is so easy and simple for you.

What are you talking about?

- No I was just... - Aren't you too old to be acting like a little kid?

What?

It will be better than worrying about it alone?

Come back once you know what it means to be truly alone.

Hey...

You can't do anything on your own.

I was almost confused.

To be honest, I was so scared to be alone.

I was afraid of the darkness.

I was afraid of the silence.

It will probably be better than worrying about it alone.

I almost fell for that.

I think I like Siwon.

I mistook him as a friend for a second.

[EP.10 But we didn't get to finish that]

Do you... Want some water?

Sitting down so long is making my back ache.

I was just taking a walk.

Dummy. No one asked you.

Give it to me. I'll hold it.

So what was I doing here?

Do you have something to say to me?

I haven't seen you around lately.

But I couldn't say that was weird or anything.

No it's just that...

And he seemed to be different from before.

But I couldn't say that was weird either.

You...

Where did you disappear to that day?

I heard you had to rush off and leave Kang Parang alone.

Something just came up.

Oh... Really?

But still... How could you leave Kang Parang and leave like that?

It's a good thing I went to find him or else he would have been all alone in the mountain.

Hey.

Is Kang Parang a kid or what?

You know him.

He's eccentric.

Are you sure it's not you that's eccentric?

Huh?

I thought you liked Kang Parang.

Then you take care of him. And don't bother me with him.

You told me that I shouldn't do pranks.

I wanted to play a really good prank

but it's no fun anymore.

How long where you here for?

Before you got here.

Oh really?

Did you hear everything too?

"Do you want some water"? Starting from here.

So you heard everything.

I'm so confused right now.

Lee Siwon likes Kang Parang?

But doesn't Lee Sieon like Lee Siwon?

Sometimes the friendship between men and women get all tangled up like that.

So that's why I don't have guy friends.

- Are you OK? - About what?

Wow~ So you don't even get hurt by things like this anymore?

I can't do anything about Lee Sieon liking someone else.

You call him Lee Sieon instead of Sieon oppa now?

It's a cute way to let out my anger.

I can't understand them nor you.

Your emotions are all weird.

I don't get why Lee Sieon has such a hard face when he talks to Lee Siwon.

Nor do I get why Siwon stutters around him.

And why you're just fine with all this.

I don't understand anything.

I saw Kang Parang walk by with 5 ham rolls earlier.

Of course you don't understand.

- Why not? - You're not the one feeling the emotions.

There's no way you'd understand what feelings

everyone is hiding beneath.

Are you hiding your feelings too?

Hmm... Probably?

Lee Sieon doesn't like you. But how can you keep liking him?

Do you think that if you keep liking him, one day he'll

start to like you back?

No.

Then what?

Just because.

It must be meant for me to just have a crush this season.

I can't end it first.

If I keep waiting, sooner or later, this season will end on its own.

So I just keep waiting for it to end...

Next season, I'm going to be loved by someone else.

You should give it a start first.

Then...

I'm going to wait until the next season too.

You should start right away.

I think there were about 30 episodes about working for a season,

but in terms of love stories...

Do you see that door over there?

It looks like a simple door but look closely.

It's the dean of students blended in with the door color.

Do you see him? He looks like he's running this way.

Jung Chaeso!

Hey! Where did Jung Chaeso go?

She was here just 3 seconds ago...

3 seconds? Like a ghost.

Jung Chaeso!

She was right here a minute ago...

Come back once you understand what it means to be truly alone.

You can't do anything by yourself.

He had always said crazy things like a psychopath.

So nothing was weird about it.

Just like Siwon throws a fit once a month because of hormones,

Sieon sometimes says crazy things like that. It's an illness.

It's kind of irregular but...

But why does this time feel different from all the other times?

- Who threw away plastic here? - Who threw away milk cartons here?

Huh/

- Is it your turn to clean too? - You too?

You're the one who threw the plastic away here, aren't you?

You're the one that threw away the milk carton here, aren't you?

I was mistaken.

No... I'll just go.

You know how he is. He's eccentric.

Are you sure it's not you that's eccentric?

Huh?

Why does everyone tell me I'm weird?

I was the one that always stood by Kang Parang's side to help him.

Hey Lee Sieon...

It was you?

- Oh... - That's it?

You don't even look that surprised.

- I'm sorry. - For what?

That you're not surprised? Or for smoking in front of our house all the time?

Was this house your house?

I don't think that's what's important here.

So now what?

You saw that I saw you

smoking.

This is bothersome.

What should we do now?

I'll tell my homeroom teacher tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to take interest in a student that's in someone else's homeroom

but you must have something on your mind these days.

No, I'm not asking you a question.

I don't want to know more.

Maybe you should think about talking to someone about it.

Don't look like you're carrying all the weight in the world on your shoulders.

If you're going through a hard time,

try leaning on someone else.

I think that might help.

That way, the air in front of my house might clear up.

I'm not going to have any. I'm still working.

What are you talking about? They're both for me.

Oh yeah.

You're a pig just like Lee Sieon.

Should I learn boxing?

Or what is that called... Jinsu?

Should I learn that?

Jinsu is the guy that sits behind me in homeroom.

Jiu jitsu! Go learn some more Korean.

Whew... I just want to hit Lee Sieon on the forehead just once.

It's simple. Want to know how?

- What? - Run home.

Wash your feet and go to bed.

And find Lee Sieon in your dreams and punch him.

- Hey! - Or play rock, paper, scissors and play by the rules.

You can take turns smashing each other's foreheads.

Wow~ That's a good one.

You're so annoying.

After I get Lee Sieon, it's you.

Be careful of the back of your head.

Wow~ That's got to be the world's safest head.

What do you have against Lee Sieon?

Just consider it your destiny.

It's...

It felt different this time.

What?

It's like he wanted to hurt me.

It sounded like he was being really mean on purpose.

Are you in a love fight or something?

What's it with you two?

I know. I don't know what's going on either.

What does Lee Sieon think of me?

Oh, I forgot about this.

Hey, pay up.

And that's not the exit.

Oh~ I thought that fan fiction was the best.

- Hey, are you listening? - Huh?

What were you thinking about just now?

Oh...

Why... What's going on?

Did you know you're totally out of it these days?

What's going on?

No... It's just...

Hey.

Do you remember how you told me that

I don't consider Kang Parang as neither a friend nor guy...

And just as a little kid.

Why?

Does it really look that way to you?

Well I don't know your 10 years of history

but from the way I see it, yes.

Why?

I get that you like Kang Parang.

But I'm not sure if you like him as a guy

or as a friend.

I'm not sure.

There are different way you can like a person

The way you treat Kang Parang,

it's like how someone would take care of a younger brother...

That's how you seem.

That's not how I feel...

Then let me ask you one thing.

Why do you think you like Kang Parang?

That's because...

I have to be next to Kang Parang.

Come on.

Don't you think your answer is a bit weird?

Think about it one more time.

You and Kang Parang.

Oh and Lee Sieon, when you get the chance.

Everyone except for you three in the entire school knows something is up.

Mom, mom!

Mom... Mom!

Gosh... Mom!

She took a lot of sleeping pills so she had to get her stomach pumped and she's lying down now.

I think it's because she hasn't been getting any sleep lately.

When are you coming?

[I'm going to be late, call a cab to get home] [Father]

What are you doing? Let's go home.

- Hey, Parang. - Huh?

You have a hard time being alone these days too right?

You never liked being alone.

That's not true.

I'm perfectly capable of being alone.

You hated being left alone ever since you were young.

It's true that I don't like it that much.

But it's not like I can't do it.

That's why Lee Sieon and I were always by your side.

We were always there for you.

You hated being let alone.

So was I. I was there for you too.

Huh?

It's not that you stood by my side. I was there for you too.

Because we're friends.

because we're friends?

I must have made a mistake.

It was Parang that couldn't stand

being alone.

No, no... It's...

I didn't mean to follow you secretly...

I'm not sure if I should say this

in this kind of situation or not but

I went to your house

and saw the ambulance... And you looked too busy.

So I couldn't call you and just followed you here...

But...

I didn't think you should be left alone...

No, no, no.

I didn't mean that you're not capable of being alone.

I was just... Just in case.

You might not want to be alone...

I wanted to tell you

but I thought that maybe you wanted to be alone.

So I lost the right timing to tell you because I was thinking about everything too much.

Huh?

Do you get what I'm saying?

I don't get it myself...

I'm trying to say...

Is you mother OK?

I'm not sure what's going on

and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to tell me but...

She got confused on how many sleeping pills she took.

She just wanted to go to sleep.

Right?

She hasn't been able to sleep these days.

So...

That's what happened.

Yeah, I get it.

I thought that Parang was the one that

always needed someone by his side

but it turns out that

he was the one that was always there for us.

Let's go home.

- Why? - Hang out with me.

We always needed

each other

all this time,

but what now?

What has happened to us?

Focus!

You're spacing out again! Huh?

Get it together.

The college entrance exam is coming up in just a few days!

- 2 weeks. - That wasn't a question.

You little!

I thought you had to go to college.

I thought you had to go to a college in Seoul!

With this, you can't get into a college in Seoul.

You're headed straight for Noryangjin!

Do you want to eat rice in a cup inNoryangjin?

Or do you want to go to college,

and eat off a tray at the school cafeteria?

A tray.

Once you get into a college in Seoul... You can... What's her name?

Seoyoung?

Siwon.

That's right. You can tell Siwon how much like her.

You should think about making that come true.

But instead you're zoning out all the time.

Don't be imagining hanging out with Siwon in your dreams.

Huh?!

Think of the reality in front of you.

Siwon will probably get into a really prestigious school. She's so smart.

There a tons of good looking kids in prestigious schools these days.

Huh?!

The moment Siwon starts college,

one of those guys will get her.

- No! - But you...

If you go to a college far far away,

you'll only see her on the holidays.

Then you'll probably only say two sentences to her every year.

Happy new year.

Did you have some songpyeon?

And that's if you do go to college.

Let's say you don't event get into a college and have to apply the next year.

You'd be in Seoul too but

you'd be stuck in Noryangjin studying for another year and you'll see Siwon

so rarely, you won't even be able to have a normal conversation with her.

Huh?!

Are you still going to blank out like that, huh?

Focus, focus!

If you get into a college in Seoul, you'll be able to get Siwon.

Got it?

I'll

I have my eyes on you!

- Naver. - Never!

Fat stu... Stut...

Scout...

Stot.

- Vomit. Throw up. - That's right.

Disney. To feel faint.

Disney is the animation!

Will it hurt if you fell from here?

That psychopath.

- How did he get up there? - I don't know.

Stop goofing around and come down!

See?

I told you that we'd be seniors in the blink of an eye.

Just 2 more months...

No, just one more month.

I too nervous to go take the exam like this.

You've been doing well on the mock exams.

I don't know. I'm still nervous.

My sister keeps appearing in my dreams.

It's a relief that your sister only had to take the exam one more time.

What?

My sister has to take it again this year with us.

You have to buy her some rice cakes this year too.

Sorry... I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.

He's sorry...

I think she's addicted on the rice cups.

I tried one when I was working and they're pretty good.

Working part time,

while I was working part time and studying.

Going to concerts and studying...

Cartoons, internet cafes and studying...

You shouldn't mention studying in that list.

I've been studying hard these days.

Yeah, he's been getting private lessons and staying up to study until late.

Yeah.

You haven't been studying all night.

You've just been sitting up. Though you can barely keep your eyes open.

But I've been trying my best these days.

Yeah.

Let's say we've all been studying hard.

But we didn't get to do this.

Date.

Date?

- Kang Par

Oh yeah, dating.

- You were dumped! - Shut up. Stop it.

You're probably the only one that was dumped like that.

You were all here.

- Did you call her? - Yeah I did. - Why?

Just.

She hasn't dated anyone either.

I don't think I'm the type of person

that looks like she's never been on a date.

You totally fit that title.

Today, everything became simple and clear.

I'll be back after the college entrance exams.

[Epilogue]

Whew... I'm so tired...

- Hey! - Whoa! You scared me.

10AM classes?

You too?

No, my class isn't until 3.

Then why are you going now?

Just because.

You have 3 minutes left.

Why aren't you going?

That psychopath!

- Where are you? - Of course I'm at school. I have classes. Why did you call?

- Want some a rice cup? - That rice cup!

Whatever. I'm going to classes.

- Then what about me? - What are you talking about.

Eat with the guys at your school.

No but... I'm an outsider.

I got into college, but why do I keep eating my lunches out of rice cups?
