WE WELCOME ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP

My gosh.

Just say something, anything. Make up an excuse if you have to.

Huh?

Yoon Ah-yi. I think I need to talk to your parents.

Tell your mother…

who's not around.

-Bring your father. -But I…

COUNSELING OFFICE

Mom.

My homeroom teacher told me to bring Dad to school.

Because I'm still a minor, there are things that require a guardian.

I don't think my teacher knows

that having a dad

doesn't necessarily mean someone's taking care of me.

BECOMING AN ADULT

Mom.

Will you really be able to receive my letter?

Annara sumanara.

Look who it is.

You're really busy these days, aren't you?

You see Na Il-deung at school,

and then you see you-know-who after school.

You're here again?

Is that you-know-who Ha-na mentioned inside?

I don't know either. I haven't checked.

Stop acting so innocent.

I saw you putting something in there just now.

Were you trying to leave the magician a note or something?

"Hey, I was waiting for you."

No, it's not like that.

Oh!

Hey, stop!

What?

It's empty. Why are you overreacting?

You just get more mysterious the more I get to know you.

Hey. You're not in love with the magician for real, are you?

I mean, sure, I admit that he is pretty good-looking.

But still, is that really enough to--

Huh? She's…

Hey! Are you ignoring me?

-That little… -I don't blame her.

Watch it.

Knock knock.

Mister?

Is anybody home?

Mr. Magician.

Is anybody here?

There's really nobody here.

Gosh, the dust.

I really don't like anything about this place.

What could he possibly be doing all day, in such a depressing place like this?

I know, right?

There's one way we can find out.

What are you doing? Are you done yet?

Just wait.

Seriously? I'm only waiting for ten more seconds.

Okay, I told you I got it.

Seriously.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six…

Five.

Ha-na.

Come on. Five comes after six.

What are you up to?

We were just about to leave, weren't we?

You never finished that magic show from last time.

We waited for a long time, but now it's time for after-school class.

Promise me you'll show us the rest of it at our next visit, okay?

Goodbye.

Wait.

I think…

you're hiding something.

It's nothing.

Shall we take a look at what that nothing is?

I'm sorry.

It's so unique and pretty. I couldn't help it.

Don't…

touch anything here without permission.

That's disrespectful to magic.

And sneaking around

is even more so.

You can go now.

Goodbye.

Seriously, I thought my heart was going to explode.

I could have attached it for sure if I just had one more minute.

Where in the world did you learn to be so reckless?

Putting up hidden cameras is a crime. I ought to report you to the police!

Oh, yeah? My accomplice Kim So-hee?

-Let's go. -Hey, I didn't do anything.

-Yes, you did. You're an accomplice. -No, I'm not.

BEST EDU ACADEMY CSAT MOCK TEST: ENGLISH

Damn it.

He left his books all over the place.

What's this?

Yes, hello.

Yes, I know he took a practice test.

Please, my Il-deung would never--

Yes, I understand.

At night when everyone is asleep

I sit by myself wide awake

Unable to let go of the day

That has already

Passed me by

Am I waiting for someone?

Is there something I still have left to do?

Or maybe

I'm reminiscing about that place

That I long to return to?

When I lay my head in your lap

Brush back my hair like you used to

When I was so very young

Even if I fall asleep

At the sweet touch of your hand

Let me stay there

For a while

Don't wake me up

I will fall into a deep sleep

Oh my.

My Yoo-yi is such a talented singer.

Dad?

It's scratchy.

It's scratchy?

-Should my baby girl become a singer? -I'd love that.

Daddy would love that too.

Oh, Ah-yi!

Dad.

Ah-yi.

Here.

You don't have to keep bringing more food.

Did Yong-pal come to visit while I wasn't around?

I mean, a few times.

I see.

Things haven't been easy, have they?

I want to ask if he's back for good,

if the debt has been all paid off, but…

Wow, my Ah-yi is all grown up now. Right?

Thanks to someone.

Go on, eat.

-Dad. -Yeah?

If you're free tomorrow,

can you drop by my school?

Your school? Why?

Right. It's not like I need a specific reason to visit your school.

Sure, it'll be good to check out your school

and meet your teachers too. Of course, I can.

I'll do that.

Oh. Wait.

Just a second.

Yes, speaking.

What? Wait, no. How can you suddenly do this to me?

Yoo-yi, eat.

If you just give me a few days, I can take care of it.

RENT, FOOD, BILLS

BILLS

I just have to give it back. Yeah.

I was only briefly borrowing it.

Once the money returns to Il-deung's account, bit by bit,

no one will think it's that big of a deal.

Ah-yi.

Where did Dad go?

-Dad? -Yeah.

What are you doing?

COUNSELING OFFICE

So, is your father coming or not?

What do you expect me to do if you sit silently like that?

Gosh.

Acting like this is only going to make things worse.

That picture of Il-deung giving you money

has already reached the principal's office,

and Il-deung's mother is threatening to tell the anti-bullying committee!

Yoon Ah-yi!

Jesus Christ.

Seriously.

Yoon Ah-yi.

Hey, as your teacher,

I did everything I could to respect your rights as a student,

and I did my best to be as fair as possible while handling this situation.

Please remember that.

We made a deal!

A deal?

What deal?

Il-deung and you?

It was about the test scores.

-Hello. -Oh, Ah-yi.

Yeah, well…

I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.

It's just something urgent came up.

I left without even saying goodbye to my girl.

Oh, and about the money.

I'm going to make a lot of money

and pay you back double the next time I come home.

I mean it. Trust me, okay?

And

I won't be able to contact you for a while.

Don't worry about me.

Gosh.

I'm leaving you with such a heavy burden.

I should be ashamed of myself.

Then can't you just not leave?

Dad.

I'll work more shifts,

and I'll do whatever I can.

There's got to be a way to work through this together.

Can you try to understand me a bit?

When I look at you and Yoo-yi,

I feel so sorry, and my heart aches so much

that it's unbearable.

And it feels better when you go and hide all by yourself?

How can that be possible? It's not like that.

Well…

My Ah-yi is practically all grown up now, right?

So you're going to make it through this just fine.

How can you tell me I can get through this just fine

when you're busy running away all the time?

Why do you expect me to act like a grown-up

when you're so cowardly yourself?

Ah-yi.

You're right.

I am all grown up.

I'm well beyond the age of missing hugs from my parents.

But that's not the case for Yoo-Yi.

Dad, you're the one who should take responsibility for her.

Not her sister, not me!

This is too much for me.

I'm scared,

exhausted,

and I'm sick of all this now.

I won't ask you to take care of me too. I wouldn't even dream of it.

So, I'm begging you not to run away all by yourself

and take Yoo-yi with you, right now!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being a terrible father.

Hello? Dad?

An evening where the sunlight has left

After playing

A shadow standing all by itself

Cries for a while

Because it has lost its way

On a road that someone once showed it

Even as the stars

Are just beginning to nod off

She wakes up the sleepy night

With a shake

Asking for one small favor

Before it falls asleep

Asking it to light up this path

Is the girl

That I'd always hoped to be

Somewhere far off at the end of this road?

Do I have to make it

To the end of that long road

To become that girl

I had hoped to be?

The night then tells her

That she should get to bed

Good night

Childhood dreams

Through a finger-wide crack

In the window

A sense of longing Slowly creeps its way in

When it reaches my lips

And I try to call its name

All it leaves are tears

This song

That we're dreaming of on this night

I hope that we'll cross The darkness in the sky

To greet the happiest of mornings

And all of it will come true

The night then hugs her

And says she should go to bed

Good night

Childhood dreams

My past days

Goodbye

A special prize for good conduct goes to Na Il-deung, from grade 2 class 1.

Hey, Il-deung! What are you doing? Go up!

A prize for what? Good conduct?

Maybe it's for being good at turning in your homework?

Yeah.

We're presenting this award to recognize his exemplary action

for helping his peers in need

with warm-hearted generosity.

Wait, so

Na Il-deung supported Yoon Ah-yi out of his own pocket?

You sure she wasn't extorting him?

They might as well just

write it on Yoon Ah-yi's face that she's living on welfare.

Poverty isn't anything

to be ashamed of.

I thought that getting out of poverty

was the most important step to overcome the misery in my life.

But I was wrong.

Now I see that this entire time it wasn't money

that was pushing me over the edge,

but the grown-ups.

I want to be a grown-up,

so immature adults no longer have any control over my life.

I want to become a lousy grown-up,

just like them.

You wanted to talk to me?

Let's talk.

I'm sorry, but

let's talk later.

You keep avoiding me.

I know you probably don't even want to look at me,

but I really mean it. I have no idea what's going on either.

Why the hell is this all happening?

No.

I'm fine, really.

What's fine about it?

I'm the one who came up with this crazy deal in the first place.

And I agreed, which doesn't make me any better.

When you

asked me if I needed money,

I'll just think of it

as you taking pity on me, out of the goodness of your heart.

Yoon Ah-yi.

Do you honestly mean that?

You should just curse me out.

Call me a loser and a cowardly bastard.

Just threaten to tell everyone the truth!

Or at least yell at me!

That way…

I'll feel a bit less pathetic.

I did tell the truth!

And

this is the result.

But you know what?

I'm really,

really okay.

I'm so frustrated with myself that it's driving me crazy,

but I can't help but feel relieved.

It's honestly so utterly embarrassing, and it makes me unbelievably angry.

But at least I didn't get expelled.

Come on. Expulsion?

-Getting expelled is nothing-- -For you, maybe!

All you need to do is take the GED or study abroad.

But not for me.

If I don't graduate, that's it for me. I don't have any other options.

Hey.

You have no idea how much I regretted it

after I told the teacher everything, do you?

It turns out even honesty is a luxury I can't afford.

But you're telling me to just curse and yell at you without a thought?

What would that do for me?

I really

envy the fact that you can just swear and yell

without considering the consequences.

-That's enough. -Na Il-deung.

So stop acting like

you're so miserable in front of me.

It's honestly a little funny.

Where are you off to?

We have magic lessons today.

Let's see, what should we do today? Cards?

I want to stop learning magic.

All of a sudden? Why?

I think it'd be better if I just picked up more shifts at work.

Oh… You liked learning magic, though.

What's the point of such brief joy when you're starving?

I'd rather make another buck and buy myself something nice to eat.

That's it? That's your reason for quitting?

"That's it?"

What's so great about magic anyway?

What's the point of getting your hopes up that it'll all work out,

only to be disappointed shortly after?

At least you get to smile,

even only for that moment.

-Mister. -Yeah?

I'm asking you this one last time with all seriousness.

There's a memory that I want to forget.

Can you erase that for me?

Or maybe you could turn back time to before it ever happened.

No, I just want

about ten years to go by in the blink of an eye. Can't you…

do that for me?

Okay. I'll do it.

Really?

Do you believe in…

Wait, you

don't honestly believe this is possible, do you?

-I thought you were a real magician. -Oh?

It's too early to feel disappointed already.

I'm not disappointed.

I'm just done with expectations.

I'll be going now.

Wait.

These are

the cards I used when I first started magic.

I was going to give them to you at our lesson today.

Here, take them. They're my gift to you.

What happened to your arm? Are you hurt?

It's nothing. Bye.

Here.

Kids don't do things with consequences in mind.

I was worried she would try to take Il-deung down with her.

It's a relief that she has a little sense in her.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for your concern.

Good night.

You must be hungry.

TRASH BAG

I left them out so I could ask you when you got home.

What should I do with them?

Toss them out.

All right.

Whatever my son says.

Thank you

for respecting my choices and decisions.

Of course, it's only picking one of the answers

you've already decided for me.

What's with all this attitude?

Is it because of that Yoon Ah-yi?

Or this stuff?

Of course, you already know everything.

Yeah, and speaking of which,

do you even know how hard I'm trying?

Pouring everything into college prep might not be enough.

I'm worried you're wasting your time on frivolous things.

Is everything other than studying useless?

Of course!

That Yoon Ah-yi, or whatever her name is,

dragged you into this whole mess

because you're weak and let your guard down!

-You know it's my fault, come on! -Enough!

Even this time we're spending arguing with each other like this

is a waste!

What am I doing all of this for?

Son.

Having a dream is easy,

but not everyone gets to make theirs come true.

Whatever it is that you want to do right now,

whatever it is that you want,

you need to learn to give it up, for your bright future.

You can't do that?

I don't understand it.

Me going to law school and becoming a judge or a prosecutor,

honestly, that's yours and Dad's dream.

What?

So why do I have to…

give up anything for that?

Mom.

I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious.

Those dreams you're talking about,

is it so wrong to just not have one?

Do I have to live my life just to make something of myself?

Holy crap!

Jeez. Scared the crap out of me.

Hey.

What are you looking at?

And what are you going to do about it?

What are you going to do?

Thief! Call the police.

Thief! Call the police.

Hey. Be quiet.

-Get her. Get the thief. -Please, be quiet, please?

-Get her. -Be quiet!

-Get the thief. -Be quiet!

-Get her. Get this thief! -Damn it.

Get the thief!

Yoo-yi.

I brought something yummy to eat from work.

You're hiding again, aren't you?

No donuts for you, if you don't come out.

Where are you?

You're here, aren't you?

Huh?

You're the one who should take responsibility for her.

Not her sister, not me!

So, I'm begging you not to run away all by yourself

and take Yoo-yi with you, right now!

Yoo-yi.

Yoo-yi.

Yoo-yi.

Yoo-yi!

CSAT PRACTICE TEST

Yoo-yi!

Yoo-yi!

Yoo-yi.

Hey. Do you know what time it is--

Can I help you?

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Isn't it too cold?

The path you're on.

Ma'am, have you seen Yoo-yi today?

Not today, I haven't.

Okay, thank you.

Hello?

Is this Yoo-yi's sister's number?

Yes, it is.

Oh, I'm sorry for calling so late.

I'm Yoo-yi's friend's mom, Hui-jin's mother.

Yoo-yi said she was home alone,

so I planned to drop her off after dinner.

But they fell asleep after playing together.

Is it okay if she sleeps here, and I take her home tomorrow?

Hello?

-Hello? -Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

I knew I picked some good angles.

What is this?

What?

One time in literature class,

the teacher asked us

what our happiest memories with our parents were.

And one kid said

that it was when his parents were traveling abroad and not home.

The whole class started laughing and clapping,

but I was the only one who didn't get why that was so funny.

Because for me, I've only ever waited for them to come home.

First my mom,

and now my dad.

Whenever things were hard, I would say to myself over and over again,

"Let's not wait for them. Let's not expect anything from them."

"The only person in the world that you can rely on

is yourself, Yoon Ah-yi."

So that's why

you wanted to skip ahead and become an adult.

You were tired of the suffering and resentment.

Do you know…

what I kept saying to myself while I was running around

looking for Yoo-yi?

Annara

sumanara.

Do you still want to travel to the future?

I'll send you there if you want.

I have to get going now.

Exams are coming up, and I have a lot to do.

Thank you for everything.

You know how you said

you hate that your dad is always running away?

Isn't that like your desire to skip over the hard parts to go to the future?

Well, it's not like that would ever happen anyway.

What if…

it really did happen?

Would you still want to run away?

Do you want to meet her?

Meet who?

That person you just mentioned.

The one and only person in the world you can rely on.

Annara

sumanara.

What do you say?

Do you want to meet her?

By any chance,

is your name

Yoon Ah-yi?

How did you know?

I just

know.

What are you doing here? Are you waiting for your mom?

How did you know that too?

I saw this.

This is a drawing of your mom, right?

I know it might be hard to believe,

but there isn't anything about you that I don't know.

No way.

You really know everything?

Probably.

Then guess the thing I want to know the most right now.

When your mom is coming back.

No.

If she forgot the promise she made with you.

Liar! You don't know anything.

She promised you

she would take you to see the ocean on your birthday, right?

That's a secret that only Mom and I know.

I also know

how you feel inside.

Then…

tell me everything.

Everything that I really want to know.

Close your eyes

and listen carefully.

Maybe it was too much

To ask for the world to embrace me

Is that child Who would stomp her little feet

Doing well?

Did you manage to overcome

All of the longing That you'd asked to leave you alone?

It's too hard to bear that burden alone

Even all of those painful dreams

All of the things we couldn't talk about

And this day we spent together

We'll fold it all into a white paper boat

And send it into tomorrow

When we meet again

After crossing the wide And treacherous sea

I hope that my future self

Won't be as naive or weak as I am

And will tell me

That I'm happy

Goodbye for now

Until the day

We meet again

I don't have a mom either.

I mean, actually,

I'm still waiting for my mom.

Just like you.

To be honest, I don't have any money,

and that makes a lot of things very hard.

But you know what?

There's one thing I want to tell you with certainty.

That I never gave up

and am still living every day, fighting.

Also,

I don't know how you feel about this…

but you and I are very similar.

So I think you're going to do just fine.

Whatever that may be.

Are you disappointed in me?

You saying that we're pretty similar…

makes me feel good.

I won't give up either. Just like you.

What was that?

You know.

That's time magic.

Don't you get it?

You were just comforted

by your future self.

Mister.

Yes?

Who are you…

really?

Hello.

Have you seen anyone that looks like this around here?

"Vanishing."

"Appearance." Success!

Yes!

LOOKING FOR A MISSING PERSON SEO HA-YOON

Excuse me.

I'm a police officer. I have a question for you.

Have you seen someone like this around here?

Have you seen them?

Why are you looking for this person?

He's a person of interest in our investigation.

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Hey…

Why are the police looking for him?

Hey, Yoon Ah-yi.

Do you still hang out at that theme park?

Why do you ask?

Well,

I just wanted to know if you knew

what kind of person he is, the man that lives there.

The magician?

Magician, my ass.

Seems like she has no idea.

Take a look at this when you're bored. Oh, wait.

It might be a little too shocking,

so I suggest you hold on tight to your sponsor's hand

and watch it together.

What is it?

Just take it already, before I change my mind.

My head's on the verge of exploding

trying to decide if I should take this to the police.

I'm real.

I'm a real magician.
