Mom!

Why are you wearing so much jewelry?

We sell jewelry, isn't it better to wear it to attract buyers?

Mom, can you watch the store for a while?

I have somewhere I need to go.

Where? With whom? Until when?

It's just book-shopping with Khanh Chi.

-Bye, Mom. -Vy!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Our Green Wave chart this week

-Chi! -Huh?

Again?

Maybe not…

You're late! Let's do this.

Let's find those posters and hang them up afterwards.

-It's Bo! -See if there's a poster inside.

Gosh, he's so cute!

Take it! Take it! I'll check this one.

Oh my God, look at this!

It's even bigger than yours!

Gosh, look how cute he is!

I'll take these, please.

-Four thousand dong. -Okay.

Here you go.

Such a beautiful voice!

Hey, Tra!

-He looks even more handsome in person. -Look at that baby face!

DEAR DIARY I MET A "RAIN ANGEL" TODAY

I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, DIARY!

RAIN ANGEL

I signed your report card.

You have to do better than just well in Literature.

Why can't you be one of the excellent kids?

You must at least be good at Math,

then you can help me in the store.

Look at this.

You're good at nothing except daydreaming.

Vy! Let's go to school.

-Vy! -Be right there!

What takes her so long?

I'm off to school. Bye, Mom.

Okay.

Why do you suddenly need an umbrella?

-Girls take the longest time to get ready. -What's with the butterfly hairpin?

-Are you Xiao Yan Zi? -Hurry up!

-Mom, we're off to school! -We're off to school!

Bye, Mom!

THANH XUAN HIGH SCHOOL

Good morning! Dear teachers and students,

as our Principal hasn't returned from her trip,

I will continue to officiate this weekly school meeting.

I worry about all of you.

But especially about those in 12th Grade.

Those in 12th Grade, got it?

As I'm responsible for your future,

if we hold a talent show,

12th graders will not be allowed to join.

-That's absurd. -We're already practicing.

-It's just once a year. -It shouldn't be all work and no play.

-Your focus should be on studying… -Learning by playing!

…to pass the graduation and the university entrance exam.

We're going to have a mock exam very soon.

-Oh my God! -Why a mock exam?

And I want to officially announce that we are receiving

students from Teacher's college.

I hope you can try your best to assist them with their internship.

Welcome on stage, our future teachers.

What a handsome guy!

Please give them a big round of applause.

Thank you so much.

Damn!

Vy, what's wrong?

Have you seen my umbrella, Chi?

Vy, I put it on the windowsill.

And there's delicious chocolate on your table.

I want some, too.

Give it back!

Stand up, please!

It's too big. What should I do?

Uh… just hide it!

Why…? Hey…

What's going on. Vy?

Sit down, please.

Let me make a quick introduction.

I'm Thanh Tu, Head of the Literature Department,

12A1's homeroom teacher.

-Welcome! -Yes.

Please introduce yourselves to the class.

Hello, everyone. My name is Thao Ly. I teach Math.

My name is Vu. I teach Physics.

I'm Thai Bao. I teach Literature.

He teaches Literature.

Please take your seats at the back of the classroom.

Sure.

Handsome as a picture.

-Sir, come sit with me. -No, sit with me.

-Ha Vy. -Yes.

Any thoughts on Mr. Bang's announcement about the talent show?

Oh, I think I kind of get his point.

What? Are you serious?

-Coming from a vice monitor. -However…

it won't take us much time to rehearse something.

Besides, this is a good opportunity for us to do something together.

Something for us to remember after we graduate.

She's right.

Let us do something, please!

Don't worry.

I'll think of something.

But remember,

it really depends on your performance in the university mock entrance exam.

Yeah!

Incoming!

Hello.

What's going on?

What's all the fuss about?

Please excuse us.

They're just overexcited about the new interns.

MUA HE BOOK STORE

What are you doing?

Uh… I lost my earrings.

Hey you!

Damn!

SORRY I HAD TO BORROW YOUR UMBRELLA I'LL GIVE IT BACK TOMORROW. DON'T BE MAD.

Sir, I have a sore stomach.

Can I be excused from class?

Got your period?

Nope, just faking it.

There's something bigger going on.

What is it?

The thing…

What thing?

About "Rain Angel."

I see.

What about it?

-It's Mr. Minh Vu. -What?

Keep it down!

-Mr. Minh Vu. -Yes.

Why did fate make us meet?

Does destiny mean us to be?

-Fate? This is not fate. -Why not?

Teachers with students is inappropriate, you know?

Why inappropriate?

Hey!

Come to think of it,

he is just an intern

and I'm about to graduate.

Correct.

You are only five years apart.

Go for it.

Did you read before class?

Watch me!

Yes, please!

I read before class.

Really?

So good!

Let's hear the definition of Bohr's atomic model.

Sir, Bohr's atomic model is also called Dan Truong's atomic model.

The Bohr Model consists of the Rutherford planetary model

and two principles of Bohr.

That's correct. Thank you!

She's good!

It makes sense.

Isn't she the master of copiers?

Vy, you were great today. Are you aiming for an A grade?

Neither A nor B. It's a Love grade.

What did you do, Chi?

Nam… you said you wouldn't tell anyone.

I overheard Tuan Nam and Duy Hung's chat, okay?

Why do you have to be such a buzz kill?

Come on, Vy.

We're all friends after all.

Sorry, Vy. I didn't mean to.

I'll… just head home.

I'll be going as well.

Leave!

Go! Who needs you?

Girls, let me ask you.

What is the quickest way to a man's heart?

The quickest way to a man's heart

is through his stomach, right?

Exactly.

Here! Sugar-coated Banh Com. A fine combination of sticky rice

and refined sugar that will give you the sweet taste

of first love.

For best friends, a 50% discount.

Hold on…

I'll give you a fresh one tomorrow.

Guys, I'm scared.

-I'm afraid. -It's okay. Get out there.

Hi!

This is for you!

Hello, Ly!

Good morning!

Your breakfast, Vu.

I…

I should go.

Kids.

Before class starts. Let's discuss the talent show.

Mr. Bang hasn't yet changed his mind.

-Not good. -What should we do?

-What are we going to do? -Kids, don't worry.

I'll stand up for you.

Yeah!

How is it going, Vy?

I want our performance to be something special.

I'm looking for some help.

Anyone want to help her out?

May I?

Yes, Thao Ly.

Our group has Bao. He's quite a performer.

He can sing, play guitar and compose as well.

A handsome man that can sing and play guitar.

I think he can help.

Fantastic!

Why don't all the interns join us?

Sure, we're happy to.

Excuse me. Who's going to be the lead vocalist?

Why don't you do it, Thien Kim?

You have the best voice in our class, after all.

Yes, can you?

Obviously.

Will it just be that?

We're aiming for something grand.

I propose we do a musical.

The theme can be…

The dreams of youth.

-Okay, I like it. -Yes.

Hey, man!

Don't forget the rehearsal tomorrow.

It's at the vice monitor's house.

Her name is Ha Vy. Nguyen Ha Vy.

You really put your heart into it, huh?

You even remember the student's name.

-Vy, try this. -Thank you. Nam.

Please have some of this.

Mrs. Chau!

Thank you for letting us practice at your place,

and for serving dinner.

You're welcome.

Serving curry soup means it's someone's birthday.

It's yours, isn't it?

-Nonsense. -There are no rules about it.

Just focus on rehearsals and you can have curry soup afterwards.

You two always fight like cat and dog…

you'll probably end up together.

Excuse me? You kids should just focus on your studies and nothing else.

Mrs. Chau, your curry is really good.

Thank you, I used to be a cook, had a small noodle cart back in the day.

It's amazing how it turned into this jewelry store.

I love cooking as well.

If I hadn't chosen to be a teacher,

I would have had a restaurant.

Why did you choose teaching over cooking?

Mr. Bao, let's discuss the story of our musical.

-Agree. -Let's do it.

Yesterday you mentioned something about dreams of youth. What's that?

As students, we all have dreams.

-Our dreams come true, right? -So what?

How about making a hot-air balloon?

Once it's finished. We'll bring the balloon on stage.

It can be the symbol of our dreams.

-Sounds great! -Hot-air balloon?

Hot-air balloon… ls there one in your room?

Yeah.

Why don't you show it to everyone?

Okay.

But that thing is really big and heavy. Why don't you ask someone to help you?

Let me!

Tuan Nam! You're strong but not tall enough.

I'm tall.

-You're tall but not strong enough. -What do you want?

Someone strong and tall enough. Follow me.

Where?

Just come.

Hey!

I'm not strong or tall. Where should I go?

Where are you going?

Come get the guitar with us.

Can you stay here and help Ha Vy?

Please?

Hurry up. Let's go.

Can you…?

-Vy. -What, Mom?

Ly, you should go to bed soon.

Class starts early tomorrow.

What are you so worried about? You explained to her parent, didn't you?

Just thinking…

you should also explain to Thao Ly.

Vu!

I heard…

you and Mrs. Trang would visit my class to observe?

It's your first one, good luck!

Thank you!

Vu!

Girl, what are you up to?

-You're acting weird. -I'm not.

God! It's not that she's weird.

She's in love.

I'm not.

Last night, did you…?

What was that?

Gosh!

-I didn't! -You did!

-Your eyes say it all. -You're on fire!

-Slut alert! -Hey, wait for me!

I'm a bit nervous about my first class.

You can do It.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Good morning.

This is my first class

and I hope together we can have a good one.

Thank you.

Stand up, please!

-Hand these out, please. -Sure.

Sit down, please!

NGUYEN HA VY - 15-MINUTE TEST NEED TO WORK HARDER!

It looks like most of you did well in the test.

So… I'll go ahead and announce your grade.

Those who did well will be praised

and those who didn't, try to work harder at home.

I'm screwed.

I didn't do that test very well.

Do Tuan Nam, 10.

Huu Think, 9.

Khanh Chi, 7.

Ha Vy…

just 4,5, huh?

Really?

Geez! So much for a vice-monitor.

Can I take it to her, please?

You'd better receive it for yourself.

Try harder next time, okay?

Vinh Duy, 8.

Thien Kim, 9.

All right, let's have an oral exam now.

Don't worry, at least you live to fight another day.

This will be an opportunity for those of you who didn't pass the other test.

Who volunteers?

How about Ha Vy?

-Ha Vy. -Yes?

Can you solve this?

It's an easy problem.

Can I do it another time, please?

If you can't solve this problem, you'll never graduate.

Work harder at home, okay?

Is there anyone in our class…

who can help Ha Vy solve this problem?

Thien Kim.

Pass this to Ha Vy.

Vy, thanks for your notebook.

What notebook?

Just take it!

Quickly!

SOLUTIONS: PROVE THAT SH IS THE ALTITUDE OF THE PYRAMID

USE THE FORMULA TO SOLVE ITS VOLUME

To be honest…

I don't think announcing grades is good.

It's kind of a private thing.

I think it's completely normal, don't you?

Where's your bracelet?

I asked my Mom to keep it for me. Wouldn't be appropriate to wear it in class.

About announcing grades…

So, a hot-air balloon functions by heating air lighter than the atmosphere.

Yes, hydrogen is one of them.

Hydrogen was used in the very early days

but now we use helium instead,

for safety.

I see.

If you like hot-air balloons so much,

you should look into them.

Yes.

May I ask, why hot-air balloons?

Probably because of this.

I never really knew my father,

as he passed away.

The only things he left me were toys like these.

This is the first present he gave me.

That's why

I treasure it the most.

My dream is to go on a hot-air balloon ride.

To be honest,

my dad also passed away when I was young.

When I was a little boy,

it was just…

my mom, my sister and me in the house.

But five years ago,

my sister passed away.

Hi, Mom.

I only have three classes on Saturday.

I'll come home right after that for the anniversary of her death.

Okay.

Bye, Mom.

If only my daughter could be half as good as you.

You're too kind.

Mrs. Chau, I've been thinking about whether or not to tell you something.

It's okay, tell me.

Vy failed one of the Math tests.

Later, I asked her to solve a problem but she wasn't able to.

With the graduation exam coming close,

having a boyfriend isn't good for her performance.

KIM CHAU JEWELRY SHOP

Goodbye.

Safe trip.

-I'm heading home too. -Bye, Vy.

-We're leaving. -Goodbye, Vy.

DEAR DIARY, TODAY MS. LY CAME…

-Working on your homework? -Yes.

Study hard for the exam, okay?

After graduation, I could really use your help.

Come on, Mom, stop teasing me.

Okay then, I'll leave you to do your homework. Remember to go to bed early.

Yes, Mom.

I can't figure this one out. How do you solve this?

Geez! You're asking me?

Do it again. This time, slowly. You'll work it out.

LE MINH VU LOVES NGUYEN HA VY LE MINH VU LOVES TRAN THAO LY

And the other one is…

two. No, three…

-Hey… -What are you doing?

You know how to do it?

-Yeah! Hooray! -What's the matter with you?

-Congrats, Vy! -This lunatic.

Look, you win. Let's do it.

You're really planning to go to Mr. Vu's place?

Of course. We all promised her.

But how should we tell him?

Can't exactly say that we overheard you talking to your mom.

You're right.

For someone who sucks at Math, I'm surprised you can count.

Why are those bitches here?

Hey!

Aren't Mr. Vu and Mr. Bao close?

Yeah, so what?

Let me take care of it.

What do you want?

-You want to do something stupid together? -God, you're serious.

There are four dumb things to do…

Match-make, pay another's debt, trap a dove, and do show choir.

-No. -Jesus.

So you have a keen mind for money but not this?

We have been playing Vy's love gurus, right?

-That's right. -But we've never succeeded.

Going to Mr. Vu's place this time, we have to pull it off.

Geez! That's the easy part.

I just need to tell Mr. Bao we're going together.

God, there's no point in all of us going.

See…

This is Vy. This is Vu.

These are us.

This is me, see?

You.

Eat Duy Hung.

-He's a guy. I can't eat him. -Jesus. Just eat.

Here, Tuan Nam. I'll handle him. See?

-Got it? -My God!

I have to say, you are smarter than you look.

See, this is what we call a keen mind.

So, what's the plan?

First, Duy Hung and I will convince Tuan Nam

to be a part of this awesome match-making.

You will give Mr. Bao a new guitar

and ask him to convince Mr. Vu to let us go back home with him.

With them being so close,

it's almost certain that we'll get the nod.

So we're heading home right after class tomorrow?

The bus will pick us up at 11 a.m. outside the dormitory.

Mom, how do I look?

You look tired. Did we have a crazy day at the store?

Mom, can I go on a trip with Khanh Chi and the others tomorrow?

Some of the interns will join us.

-Please. -Tell me…

Who is "Rain Angel"?

Uh… I…

Who is "Rain Angel"?

Why did you read my diary?

Because I'm your mom.

Don't I have a right to privacy?

You think you're all grown up now and can do whatever you want?

Starting tomorrow, you're grounded. So no friends can come over.

And no book shopping.

Do I make myself clear?

All right, then.

Stand up, please!

Goodbye.

CLASS MEETING

I'll go get changed first.

Okay.

So, what now?

It's time for the final stage.

Together we can change the world…

all of us.

Hands in.

Hands in.

One, two, three.

-Yeah. -Hey!

Do you think the interns have finished their assessment?

Don't worry.

Mr. Bang's going to give Ms. Ly a piece of his mind.

Khanh Chi!

Come with me to the principal's office.

Now Ms. Ly is here,

I want to hear what you told me earlier.

I… have told you already.

It is said that children are very much like trees.

They eat, they sleep, and they grow.

Lately, my friend hasn't been able to eat or sleep.

She hasn't been feeling well

because she was treated unfairly.

We are students and being treated like that…

we're not up for that!

And then…

Just a little bit longer.

I wonder how things are over there.

They all went home to get changed.

That explains why there was just you in the class.

-Hey… Vy? -Huh?

I don't think I can make it this time.

Why?

Because…

my overseas grandparents are visiting.

Oh.

Really?

Of course.

We're here.

Your bag.

Thank you, Nam.

See you.

-Vy! -Huh?

Have a good trip.

Okay.

Where is everyone? How come it's just you?

They headed home to get changed.

Oh.

Bao and Thao Ly are not here either.

VICE-PRESIDENT

Your points are well received.

I'll go see Vy.

I had no idea that this situation

could affect your performance and health that much.

Ms. Ly, I want to hear your side of the story.

Sir!

Are you coming?

We're waiting for friends. We'll catch the next ride.

There won't be one until later.

-Hit the road, man! -Wait, please!

Why don't we just take this bus?

Hurry up.

Okay. I'll let Bao know.

Hit the road, man!

There's nothing going on between me and Thao Ly.

INCOMING CALL THAI BAO

HA VY AND I ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD ARE YOU COMING WITH THE OTHER KIDS?

You don't have to come along. Let me take care of my own business.

My Mom is teaching until later.

-Let me get you something to drink. -Thank you.

I brought you some water.

Okay, thank you.

Your sister was so pretty.

You… must have loved her very much.

I wish… I had a big brother

who loved me and protected me.

I wasn't a good big brother,

I only cared about myself.

I wasn't able to protect Quynh Huong.

Quynh Huong! Quynh Huong!

-Vu, what's wrong with her? -Quynh Huong!

Wake up, baby girl! Quynh Huong!

My baby girl!

Big brother,

I want to be a teacher.

But if I can't make it,

will you make this dream come true for me?

HERE LIES LE VU QUYNH HUONG

Hi, Quynh Huong. My name is Ha Vy.

Mr. Vu kept his promise to you.

I am one of his very first students.

Let's go.

Hurry up!

Excuse me! These two are here but where is my daughter?

Uh… what are you talking about?

Why do you let your students get involved in romantic affairs…

in an academic place like this?

Please… there must be some mistake--

There's no mistake. You…

I hold you accountable for this. Give my girl back to me.

-Good afternoon. -Mom.

Why are you so late?

You two are soaked.

Hurry up and get changed. I don't want you to get sick.

Yes, Mom.

Why is it just you? Where is Bao?

So the whole group was supposed to come

but for some reason…

only this girl has made it, right?

Yes.

I don't really get it.

Bao should be here, but in the end he couldn't make it.

-Vy? -Yes.

Do you know why?

I heard from the guys that they were going to come with you and Mr. Bao.

You really don't know?

No, I don't. That's what Khanh Chi told me.

Ly.

I'll take Ha Vy home after dinner.

Let's figure it out later.

Yes.

Please excuse me.

Hello, Miss.

Vu. I want to give you something.

I have to give it to you now or I'll forget.

HOT-AIR BALLOON FESTIVAL

They were sent over earlier.

I had no idea

you were still into this hot-air balloon festival.

I am.

Eat up. I'll get you some fruit.

Vu. Let's talk outside.

What's going on?

Ms. Thanh Tu just called me.

Mrs. Kim Chau was making a fuss at school…

about you bringing Ha Vy here alone.

Ha Vy told me she had asked for permission.

And you believe everything she tells you?

What's the matter, Ly?

Calm down.

Now is not the time to tell me to calm down.

Do you know that it hasn't been easy for me lately?

I'm sorry.

There have been so many things going on.

Sometimes I forget how it might affect you.

About Ha Vy…

let me take care of it.

Ha Vy.

Honestly, what's going on between you two?

-I don't want to talk about this. -You have to.

I've gone through so much trouble for you.

Ly, I know you've always been there for me

in the past ten years, and I'm grateful for that.

I also know that you want…

something more.

But I think

we should just be friends.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

I've spent all my years being there for you.

I even gave up my dream,

followed teaching,

in order to be with you!

And I've done all of that…

in exchange for your friendship?

Is it because of Ha Vy?

The first time I met Ha Vy,

I saw my sister, Quynh Huong, in her.

You're saying…

you see her as a sister, right?

Excuse me…

the fruit is ready inside.

Your mom is looking for you. Get changed.

I'll take you home right away.

Yeah?

Can we stop this conversation now?

No. I want to do it once and for all.

Can we quit school?

We'll try to get a scholarship abroad…

and start over.

I'll try one more time.

Let's start over, Vu.

Ly…

I really want to be a teacher.

I know. I know you can be much more than this.

Why do you have to give up your dream to keep a promise to the dead?

They are my father, my sister.

-Don't you get it? -No. I don't.

How long are you going to do this?

You want to live someone else's dreams for the rest of your life?

That's right!

And I do not regret it!

Do you regret living my dream?

If you feel regret…

you can stop now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINH VU

The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.

You're saying…

you see her as a sister, right?

Where's Thao Ly?

Get in there. I'm taking you home.

KIM CHAU JEWELRY STORE

Get inside.

You…

You only see me as a sister, is that true?

Hello.

Get inside and get changed!

You!

You are a teacher…

you have to act like a teacher.

I don't have to say more, do I?

I… yes.

Mom!

I am sorry.

Mom!

On your knees! On your knees!

How could you do that, Vy?

Huh?

How dare you?

You are just a teenager.

How could you go home alone with a man?

I forbid you!

I forbid you from having a boyfriend, you hear me?

I haven't done anything wrong!

You're talking back to me?

There's nothing going on between me and him.

Do you know how many hours I was standing at the gate?

Do you know how worried I was?

I only have you but you were missing for a day…

and you're just a teenager?

Do you know what time it is?

It's 11, 12 o'clock.

What mom wouldn't be worried?

At this age…

I forbid you to ever set eyes on a man, you hear me?

You hear me?

I don't understand.

Why do you forbid me?

You were in love once!

You have no right to forbid me!

I have been hiding this from you.

I don't know whether I was right to or not,

but you're grown up now.

You'll understand what I'm going to tell you.

I'm your father and I'm your mother.

I say what you can and can't do.

You think your father bought you these?

It was me. I bought them.

I wrapped them. I sent them to you.

I forbid you…

I don't want you to fall in love…

because I'm scared.

I don't want your life to be like mine.

The day I found out I was pregnant,

I had to make a decision.

Whether to choose my future

or to save your life.

Nguyen Thi Kim Chau, please.

I didn't want our family name to be disgraced…

that's why I hid my tears

and my pain.

So as not to worry your grandpa.

Before I left,

your grandpa gave me some money.

I, alone, fought for every meal…

raising you.

I can take any shit that life throws at me.

But if something happened to you…

I couldn't take it.

Mom!

Come in, please.

Do you know why you're here?

Yes.

I'm fully aware and take all the blame for this.

You think I enjoy yelling at people?

I'm sorry.

Where do the parents go when something goes wrong?

You take their kid home and they come to whom?

It's lucky she got back in one piece,

otherwise her mother would never have let this slide.

Let me tell you one more time,

I don't want this to ever happen again, am I clear?

Yes. I promise.

Thank you.

Stand up, please!

Thank you.

Be informed that Ms. Thao Ly is on sick leave

and won't be back with us for a while.

Sit down, please.

DETECTIVE CONAN

Thank you, sir.

Hung, switch places with me.

-How do you solve this? -Something seems off sitting here.

-Thoughts? -Such a nuisance.

In that case…

Check this out, see what I have here.

You know what it is?

-A pencil case. -Wrong.

This is an exam enhancer tool.

-What's that? -Chill, man.

Let me show you guys.

Do you see what this is?

-You see it? -Cheat sheet.

Correct! The traditional cheat sheet

that has been reserved and passed down through generations.

Then, what if the teachers find out?

What to do then?

No worries. Why? Because of the magic pencil.

Why is it magical? Behold!

Gosh!

-It works? -That's neat.

How can teachers find out, right?

Cool.

Up next is this heavy-duty badass.

Behold.

So this is correction tape.

I don't see anything.

Right?

Can you see anything?

You will in a moment.

Here, behold.

Don't look there, look here.

Hey, there are some words.

What if the teachers find out?

What to do then?

We have to get rid of it right away. But how?

-Is it some kind of magic? -It's gone, see?

Remember, we're here to study for the mock exam.

That's right. I will never agree to this.

You do well in school so you wouldn't understand.

Let me borrow your correction tape.

-For a friend, 15,000 dongs. -Keep it.

Can't you focus on your studying for once?

Why are you always fooling around?

Is something going on that I am not aware of?

What do you think? It's these two.

Don't forget to invite us to the wedding.

Don't forget.

Stop making fun of us.

Right, cut it out.

-Or else I'll jump into the river. -I dare you.

-On second thoughts… -Guys.

-After graduation, I'll go study abroad. -What?

-How many times have I told you? -Don't be such a buzz-kill.

Give him a break. He is going abroad soon.

How long will you be going for? When will you return?

I'm going to America for four years.

After that, I'll take over my family business.

Four years?

I wonder if we'll still see each other after graduation?

Of course we will.

I'm going to open a book store. You're all invited to the grand opening.

Let me think about it.

I will have become a very important man and might not have time for it.

But… after three years,

I've found your inner beauty.

Hey, where are you going?

Chi… Chi…

will you let me…

chip in?

Mr. Minh Vu.

HOT-AIR BALLOON FESTIVAL

My dream has come true!

I…

can never thank you enough.

Actually,

this is my first time in a hot-air balloon too.

To me, aerodynamics is my biggest dream.

To me, hot-air balloons are the symbol of dreams.

What are you going to do after graduation?

I have many dreams, but becoming an author is my biggest.

Then, I hope you can make that dream come true.

I want to ask you,

are you doing all of this for me,

or for Quynh Huong?

Can you tell me,

on that rainy night,

-In front of my house, you-- -Vy!

There's something

I haven't told anyone yet.

I'm going abroad to study.

After graduating from teaching college...

I will start following my dream.

You and I,

we have a whole future ahead of us.

Still,

in all that time,

have you even once not seen me as your little sister?
