Original subtitles

Good night.

Tae-gwang.

Do you want me to teach you how to make time go faster

when you're alone?

There's no such thing.

There's only one thing that makes time fly for me.

-What's that? -Being with you.

Hey, Tae-gwang.

What...

Hey.

I can't...

I can't hear you right now.

Hey.

If you're going to hit me, do it.

If you're not,

I can't look at you right now.

Go in inside.

Okay, bye.

-Hey. -Yes?

Bye.

Okay.

Hey, Tae-gwang.

You startled me.

Come with me to the roof.

Hey! What is it?

Why did you need to bring us here?

Tae-gwang.

I need to tell you something before it's too late.

What is it?

I was too confused

and didn't know how I felt,

so I couldn't answer your question.

Go ahead.

I realized I didn't hate Eun-bi.

I was angry

not because I hated her,

-but because I liked her. -Hey, I-an.

I don't care what I saw

or what I heard.

-Hey. -I don't care what you say either.

So? What do you want?

I am saying it's not over yet.

Hey, I-an.

It was like that from the start for me.

I didn't care about anything

but Eun-bi.

So, what I'm saying is...

I'm just beginning.

Mr. Kim.

You were acquitted of that case.

Why do you insist on resigning?

The school is only docking three-months' pay.

I don't think I can teach the kids anymore.

The semester isn't over yet,

but I'm sorry, sir.

I guess we have no choice.

Please stay on until we find a replacement

and make sure the kids aren't affected.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for everything.

Sir.

This is Sam Hammington.

He's the native English-speaking teaching assistant.

I can speak Korean.

Speak comfortably.

He's from Australia, but his Korean is excellent.

You should have said so.

Anyway, thank you.

Take good care of him.

Yes, sir.

-You can go. -Yes, sir.

Where have I seen him before?

Okay, listen carefully to the teacher,

and even if you don't understand, give it your best shot.

Why do you care about that?

DIA? DIC?

DIA? DIC?: DID I ASK? DO I CARE?

-Gosh. -My goodness.

Awesome.

Are you kidding me?

It's like we are in Itaewon.

Gosh, I am sorry.

Tae-gwang.

Damn it.

-What? -You seem disappointed.

Go away.

I wanted to ask you something, but you answered it already.

Damn it.

What? What answer are you talking about?

That Kong Tae-gwang likes Eun-bi.

Why do you look surprised?

You went to Tongyeong after seeing me.

It's obvious.

-But you... -What?

-Why are you staring at me? -Because I'm angry.

Imagine someone like you is following your little sister around.

-What about me? -Anyway,

I know how you feel,

but what about Eun-bi?

Does she like you too?

Thank you.

Have a nice day. Please come again.

You're better than I am.

I was the queen of part-time jobs in Tongyeong.

Is that right?

You'll help out here until you find a new school?

What if you fall behind?

Actually, I was thinking of taking prep classes.

-May I? -What do you mean?

Of course, you should.

I'll look into classes for you.

I got this one.

Hello.

Are you looking for anything in particular?

KONG TAE-GWANG

What's up, Tae-gwang?

Hey.

What did you want to talk about?

-About last night, I'm sure you were-- -Tae-gwang.

What?

I don't know,

so don't ask me anything.

Good.

You didn't apologize, so I won't either.

Hey.

You know, you're blushing.

I am not!

Try this.

-What is it? -Who is it this time?

It's okay. I think it's cucumber.

Don't you know I can't eat cucumbers?

I feel sick.

I am losing my appetite all of sudden.

No one compares to me when it comes to having a thick skin.

But I am not even close to So-yeong.

My Hae-na is tough and chic

while she's just a criminal.

Look at her just sitting there and listening to us.

I wouldn't be able to sit there.

Hey, Eun-byeol.

You think I'll just crumble like this, don't you?

I know you and Eun-bi are both alive and toying with the other kids.

Do you think you'll be safe?

So-yeong.

Look in the mirror.

Look at your face.

And if you have time,

look into your heart too.

-What? -Acting tough and screaming

doesn't hide it.

I know from my experience.

You want to erase everything

and run away like crazy

on the inside.

Dad, would you like some tea?

No, thanks.

-Then some fruit-- -No.

Dad.

You know that kid in my class...

In one of Shakespeare's plays,

there is a saying

that a weed is allowed to grow and spread out

because the wind is too gentle.

Excuse me?

Being mild and lukewarm only allows weeds to grow out of control.

If you don't want to be trampled on,

you must trample on them first.

-No, I want to just transfer out. -Don't you know I'm up for nomination?

I'm already on edge because of your problem.

So stop saying stupid stuff and stay quiet.

Or trample on her and silence her.

Do one or the other.

Hey, Eun-bi!

Eun-bi!

Your cell phone.

What?

Give me your phone.

I thought we agreed to be comfortable with each other.

-I-an. -Hey.

We can't be comfortable if I don't have your number

since it will be too difficult to meet up.

Did you sleep well?

Did you look into prep classes?

What prep classes?

I need to keep up with class before I transfer.

I need to go register later.

Really?

-Should I go with you? -What?

You can't.

What? It's not "no," it's I "can't"?

Are you...

going together?

What?

Yes.

I see.

Good.

I was thinking of skipping training for an hour.

You're training hard?

Of course.

Eun-bi.

Take responsibility for what you said until I win a gold medal.

What do you mean?

Just.

Hurry up. We'll be late.

You're here.

Look.

-Look at this. -It's so hot.

Why are you late?

-Get out of the way. -Hey!

Stop!

I did it to you first.

Guys, I have an announcement.

I think Mr. Kim

is leaving the school.

What? Why?

-Why? -Why?

-Why? -Out of the blue?

Keep it down.

Is it because of Jeong Su-in's case?

Right, he was her class teacher last year.

Is that why?

When is his last day?

I heard them say until they find a replacement.

We're getting a new teacher mid-semester?

I know.

Are we...

going to just let him go?

What did you text your teacher? "Rooftop"?

I texted "Rooftop, sir." Not just "Rooftop."

What is it?

Are you leaving the school?

Tae-gwang.

Do you know who inspired me to become a teacher?

Who?

My class teacher when I was a junior.

He was a passionate teacher who went to the suburbs

looking for a runaway student.

I keep a safe distance from my students. I can't even compare to him.

That's cool.

You should learn from a great teacher like that.

Do you know who that was?

Your father.

I saw Director Kong. He asked me to look after you.

Forget being a good teacher like him.

I don't know if I'm even a decent human being.

That's why I'm quitting, so I can take time to think.

Darn it.

Then what about me?

You can just call me.

Any time.

Stop that. It doesn't suit you.

Come on. Tell me.

My car was perfectly fine. How did this happen?

My goodness.

Look here.

You parked in front of my store, so I called to ask you to move it.

I told you, I didn't do it.

If not you, then who?

Let's talk at the station.

-Let go of me. -Let's go to the police station.

-Let go-- -Come with me.

-Hey, I-an. Don't do this. -Who are you?

I-an!

I-an!

Hey! Let go!

Stop it!

Don't do this. Go inside, come on.

The holding cells?

Go to the detention facility on the first floor.

I refuse to settle.

Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.

I'll think about it then.

I-an, sit down.

Sit.

Look here, young man.

Let's just settle and end it nicely.

You did nothing right either.

See? Why would I settle with you?

Keep it down, both of you.

Why are you just leaving? You should see your dad.

It's okay.

Director Kong is doing well, so don't worry too much.

Please take good care of him.

I will.

May I...

get in on that dinner?

I'm in his class.

My name is Kong Tae-gwang, Director Kong Jae-ho.

Is your shoulder okay?

Does it hurt anywhere?

I'm fine,

but doesn't it hurt here?

I'm fine.

Let's go.

What?

KONG TAE-GWANG

You are going to the same school.

Is he a friend of yours?

Yes.

-Hello. -Hi.

Hold on.

Hey, you're really good looking.

Have you eaten?

-No. -Good.

-We're going to eat now. Come with us. -Excuse me?

-I'm fine. -What do you mean you're fine?

Just come eat with us.

I-an, let's go eat.

Let's go eat. I am starving.

Let's go.

I dropped my phone.

Did you back up your data?

No. Please do it for me.

Will it take long?

It depends.

Do you have many photos and videos?

I have quite a bit of photos and just a few videos...

Recover all the data, please. Every last bit.

Gosh, you...

You're a man. Don't pick at your food.

Put it in here, like this.

-Yes, sir. -Eat up.

Good boy. You're eating so well.

Do you want another bowl? You need energy to fight more.

Come on, Dad.

I've never done anything for you,

but you jumped in just because I'm your dad.

Thank you, son.

Still, you're an athlete, and you're injured.

You shouldn't have done that.

You do that again, and you'll have to answer to me.

I don't care if I get in trouble.

If it happens again, I'll do it again.

What?

You brat.

Right.

Why were you at the police station?

Did you do something?

That's what normally happens, but not...

today.

Okay. Eat up.

-Thank you. -Sure.

-Come over sometime. -Yes, sir.

Bye.

-Dad. -Yes?

-Give me a minute. -Sure.

Hey, Tae-gwang.

What?

You want to ask how Eun-bi is doing again?

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

You.

Are you okay?

Me? Of course, I'm okay.

-Hey. -What?

I told you. This is just the beginning.

That again?

It's no fun because you look defeated already.

So...

keep your head up.

Later.

LEGAL GUARDIAN

DAD

"Dad."

"Dad"?

I'm home.

Hi.

How was the prep class? Did you like it?

Yes, I do.

-Where is Eun-byeol? -In the room.

Eun-bi.

I decided on your new school.

You did?

Here.

SEUNGRI HIGH SCHOOL

Eun-byeol.

Isn't it uncomfortable sharing a bed with me?

No way.

One of the things I wanted to do with you

was talking in bed with you like this.

-Really? -Yes, really.

You know...

Mom chose a new school for me.

Really?

You really don't want to go

to Sekang with me?

No.

But I want

to apologize to everyone for lying to them

before I leave.

But that would make things awkward for you, right?

No.

I can play hooky all day while you're in school.

By the way,

sorry for moving your doll without asking.

Who gave it to you anyway?

What?

I-an.

He didn't know I wasn't you back then.

If he thought you were me,

he wouldn't have bought you a doll.

He knows he would get it.

I-an knows that you don't like dolls?

Of course.

Let's go to sleep.

Luckily, we were able to save 70% of the data.

Ko Eun-byeol.

Lee Eun-bi.

Let's see how long you can walk proudly with your head held up high.

Hey, I have big news.

Director Kong's son attends our school.

-What? -Really?

What grade is he in?

I don't know.

Director Kong got recently arrested.

How must he feel?

His dad's name is all over the news...

Kong Jae-ho.

-Kong? -"Kong"?

-Kong? -Him?

-No way. -No. There's no way.

Then what? He's Song Hui-yeong's son?

Anyway, isn't the director totally two-faced?

He used to act so self-righteous in his interviews.

Exactly. What a fake.

-A total fake. -I don't think so.

Hey, Tae-gwang.

-What? -Where are you going?

The bathroom.

My goodness, I thought he was gonna do something.

He was about to do something.

I think I'm traumatized.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LAW AND ORDER

What is it? You seem so happy.

What are you smiling at?

It's a letter from my son.

-He came in first again. -He did?

I don't know how a loser like me had a son like him.

I feel so bad, I want to remove him from my family registry for him.

-Are you bragging right now? -Yes.

I truly hate you.

I thought I would be the happiest person on earth

if you were to lose everything.

But even when I have this in my hand,

I can't do anything.

Why is that?

Do you know why, Dad?

Are you reading again?

Can't you tell?

Do you remember?

Long time ago,

I would sit next to you and wait all day like this

for you to finish reading.

After playing ball, you would ask, "Are you done yet?"

After playing marbles. "Are you done yet?"

You bugged me so much.

Do you know how bored I was?

You stayed even though I told you to leave.

Because I didn't want to leave.

You were shorter than me, and didn't study well.

You would get scared and tear up whenever I screamed.

What happened to that little I-an?

Yes, everything you said is true.

"We've already grown,

and many things have changed."

Right?

Hey, Eun-byeol.

You know...

What?

Say it.

I'm going training.

JEONG SU-IN WE WILL REMEMBER YOU FOREVER

Su-in.

I'm sorry for coming so late.

I'm sorry for ignoring you

that time.

But may I come

see you sometimes

since I'm your friend?

I heard you're leaving the school.

Yes.

I don't think I belong there.

What will you do then?

I need to become a person

who belongs there.

First off,

I'm sorry to leave so suddenly like this.

And for not staying with you until the end.

I'm sad too.

Let me give you one final word of advice.

You might feel that some days

are very difficult and lonely,

and confusing for you.

But...

it's okay.

Because...

you are only 18 years old.

That will be all.

Attention.

Thank you, sir.

-Thank you! -Thank you.

I shouldn't be ashamed of making mistakes.

I should be ashamed of denying that I made mistakes.

I'll always remember what you said.

-Mr. Kim! -Mr. Kim!

-No! -Don't go!

-Goodbye! -Take care!

-Don't go! -Don't go!

-Don't go. -We love you!

-We'll miss you. -Make sure to eat well!

Thank you for putting me onto the right path

instead of the easy path.

I'll see you on TV.

I'll come find you after I become a big celebrity.

You just wait a little while more.

-Mr. Kim! -We love you!

Mr. Kim!

Sir, I love you.

Sir, come visit!

Gi-tae says he'll buy snacks!

-Come back! -We'll listen to you!

-Don't go! -Come back!

I paid attention in math class because of you!

I'm sorry!

Goodbye!

-We love you! -Bye!

Being serious doesn't suit you.

I can call you Jun-seok now, right?

HIGH SCHOOL, MALE 400M SWIMMING

What's this?

Eun-byeol.

I kept my promise.

When we were kids,

I promised to give you my first gold medal from a national competition.

You did?

What a good boy.

You remembered that?

But Eun-byeol.

I...

came to say goodbye.

To me?

No.

To my...

ten-year-long crush.

Hey.

Then you can end your crush on your own.

Everyone may scoff saying,

"What does an eight-year-old know?"

But ever since back then,

I've liked you.

I-an.

I'm not the little girl that you used to know.

We've grown so much

and many things have changed.

I can't say I've never questioned

whether you were just a friend or more.

I know

that you thought about it.

That's why I waited for so long

and had held onto hope.

But Eun-byeol,

before your head questions it,

your heart...

already knows.

Is that right?

I-an.

Once time has passed,

I may think I had liked you a lot.

I may regret it

and wonder why I didn't realize it sooner.

Even if one day I am saddened that you,

who only looked at me for ten years,

are no longer next to me...

I have to deal with that.

So you should follow your heart.

Hey, Eun-byeol.

I'm breaking up with my crush.

I'm not saying I won't see you again.

Of course not.

Am I crazy?

Why wouldn't I see someone so easy to order around?

-Hey. -What?

Forget it.

Get off.

Is your shoulder okay?

It's not this shoulder.

Do you want to die?

I don't know if you'll believe me,

but I'm going to school and not causing troubles.

Good.

Maybe it's because I have a lot of time to think,

but I keep thinking maybe you would have been fine

if I had left you alone.

And that maybe I'm the reason you couldn't settle down.

Come on.

I wasn't trying to get you to say that.

I meant that you don't need to worry about me.

That tie looks good on you.

This...

was a gift from Mom.

I see.

You may not believe this either,

but the house feels empty

without you.

I'm embarrassed to show myself like this.

I used to be embarrassed of you.

But now,

I'm glad I was wrong.

Tae-gwang.

I thought I had a lot to protect,

but I realized in the end

that I had only one thing

that I needed to protect.

That was you, Tae-gwang.

Your visitation time is up.

Spending even three minutes with you used to be hard.

But time just flew today.

I'll come again,

Dad.

Okay.

Tae-gwang.

I thought I had a lot to protect,

but I realized in the end

that I had only one thing

that I needed to protect.

That was you, Tae-gwang.

I-an.

Are you returning from your prep class?

Yes.

You haven't been going out to exercise in the morning.

Yes.

I've been sleeping in.

I've been waiting.

I...

can wait

much longer.

I need to get off.

Should we get off together?

Or do you want to go together a little longer?

I'm going to school tomorrow

to say my final goodbyes.

So...

you really are going to another school?

Yes.

Tomorrow,

I get to leave the name Ko Eun-byeol for good.

I don't like this talk

about it being final,

but I'm happy for you.

You need to start afresh.

Yes.

I've gained a lot of things without trying

while living as my sister.

Like what?

Love from my mom, Mr. Kim, and my friends.

Just because my name was Ko Eun-byeol,

you...

liked me too.

Do you remember this place?

Of course.

We came here often.

We did.

But...

this is the first time I'm here

with Lee Eun-bi.

The first meal with Eun-bi.

The first song I listen to with Eun-bi.

From now on,

everything will be like that.

So...

So we can start over.

Can't you not go?

Hey, I-an!

I...

can't go to you.

I can't go to you,

so...

can't you come to me?

Or...

may I go to you again

like that time

you called out to me?

Hey, Tae-gwang.

What are you doing?

It really is you, Eun-bi.

What's going on?

I came to say my final goodbyes.

I asked my sister for a favor.

Go ahead.

You couldn't go farther than Tongyeong anyway.

Let's go.

Hey.

Do you want to eat noodles?

It will be summer vacation soon.

What are you going to do?

-Study. -Forget that.

Let's take a trip together.

-Yes? Doesn't it sound great? -Yes!

-Deal? -Deal?

Deal? Why aren't you saying anything?

-What? You're going to study alone? -Really?

-Answer me. -Let's go.

-Okay. -Let's go!

-Let's go. -She said yes.

-You said you'll go. -You said it.

You make kimbap, and I'll make sushi.

-What will you make? -Jokbal.

-Jokbal? It sounds good. -Jokbal.

-That will so delicious. -Where should we go?

-Where should we go? -Where should we go?

-I say the beach. -Do you want to go anywhere?

Hey, Eun-byeol.

You must be busy.

What are you doing while Eun-bi is in school?

So-yeong.

What is it?

Are you bored without me?

Yes, I'm bored.

So, I've prepared a little event.

Do you want to come watch?

Sorry, I don't have that much time on my hands.

What a shame.

I have an incredible video that I shot in Tongyeong.

Guess who's the main character?

Let's go.

Well...

guys.

Eun-byeol, what are you doing there?

What? Are you going to sing?

-I guess not. Let's go. -I guess not.

I...

have something to tell you guys.

What is it?

To be honest...

Finally, we are all here together.

I told you.

Lee Eun-bi from Tongyeong...

wasn't dead.
