High Kick! Episode 61

Are you getting ready to leave, Miss Seo? Even though we still have 30 minutes?

What? No, I...

You didn't used to be, but you just get more and more hard-working.

You're so hard-working these days, you just may surpass Mr. Lee.

It's not easy to surpass Mr. Lee.

You're amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Speaking of which, there's the king of hard work himself.

What?

Now that I think about it, I did a good job.

I placed a rookie teacher next to Mr. Lee.

She's taken on that hard-working attitude of yours, and works harder every day.

Would you look at that?

When can I expect that report? Do I have to wait another month?

I'll have it for you by tonight.

My dear frugal Miss Baek.

There's that rabbit fur coat of yours. Is your father a hunter?

You live so frugally.

How many times have I told you what being a model teacher means?

Yet you continue to wear expensive coats like this all the time.

You're so exceptionally thrifty.

Are you descended from Ben Franklin?

I'm sorry.

It's the magnanimous Mr. Park! Are you still upset?

Oh, my goodness. Can't he stay home during vacations?

That twisted way of talking he has is completely stressing me out.

What? Would you like me to put sugar in your coffee for you?

Your hands are so nice. Your fingers are so long.

What?

Are you saying I have the hands of a lady?

Yes, they really are.

Miss Seo, how many boyfriends have you had?

What? W-why?

I was just wondering how many guys out there think they're ridiculously good looking.

What?

I must be getting brainwashed.

I looked in the mirror this morning and noticed a guy who looked like Brad Pitt.

I was shocked for a minute.

What? Mr. Lee, you're so funny.

I'm funnier than Will Ferrell, right?

Yes.

Minjung.

W-who is that?

I went to high school with her. That was scary.

Minjung!

I haven't seen you in so long.

I know, how are you, Miryeo?

Who's this? Your boyfriend?

Nice to meet you. My name is Kim Miryeo.

Uncle Minyong, give me the comic books so I can return them.

Oh, I'll get Yunho to go. I'll send him. Yes.

Hey, do me a favor.

What?

After you bring these back, stop by Miss Seo's and pick up a file for me.

I don't want to. You do it.

Are you talking back?

Just go. You'll see something interesting.

Like what?

There's a really pretty lady there.

What?

This place is big for just two people.

You hit it big, living in a big place like this for so little.

I just got lucky.

I thought you quit being a curator to go to Paris to study.

Yeah, I leave next week.

Oh, really?

I'm so glad I got to see you before I left.

Look at you, with a boyfriend now.

You're all grown up. Seo Minjung grew up.

Miss Seo.

Oh, Yunho.

Uncle Minyong said you have a file for him.

Yes. Let go. Just a minute, Yunho.

- Hey, who are you? - What?

Are you a student?

What? Yes.

Your name is Yunho... What grade are you in?

Why do you ask?

Oh, my. Did I offend you?

You're one of the rebellious ones, aren't you? I can tell by your expression.

Here, Yunho.

Cute. You're cute.

Don't glare at me. I was just asking because you're so cute.

- Bye. - Have something to drink, Yunho.

Uncle Minyong told me to be quick. Bye.

Bye, Yunho.

Bye, Yunho.

What grade is he in?

10th grade.

Oh, my. So he's going to be a junior now? He's so young.

He's so tall I thought he'd be a senior.

Kids these days mature quickly.

Then he's born in 1990? He's a fresh one, he is.

Oh, we have mangoes. Do you want a mango?

Okay.

How come you keep the mangoes on the veranda instead of in the fridge?

We just got them yesterday. I was going to refrigerate them now.

Oh, my.

Oh, my. That little boy rides a motorcycle?

What? Him? Yeah.

Look at him go. Look at him go.

Thanks. Is the pretty lady still there?

Pretty lady? Man.

You mean that creepy woman?

Yeah. Isn't she pretty? And she has a nice voice.

Vice Principal

Yes, sir. Yes. I'm working on it right now.

Yes.

What? Wonju?

Yes, I think it would be good for you to go.

I already told the principal. Let's leave around 10:00 A.M. tomorrow.

This is so last minute...

Didn't you say you weren't busy tomorrow?

Well... I... I'll get you the report by tonight, but...

Yes.

Sir? It's Lee Minyong.

What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?

Yes... I had bad stomach cramps this morning so I went to the emergency room.

What? Emergency room?

Yes, they say it was caused by stress. I was up all night with them.

I'm really sorry.

I don't think I can...

Yes.

Who are you going to go with?

I'm sorry. Yes.

What?

Wow, Minyong...

What? Are you astounded by my acting?

Yes, really.

Wow. Bravo. Bravo!

Who is it?

- Hello! - Who are you?

Oh, you must be Minjung's roommate. I saw pictures.

I'm Miryeo, Minjung's friend. Nice to meet you.

Oh... Minjung, you have a guest.

Who...

Miryeo?

Minjung. I'm back!

What are you doing here so early? It's only 9:00 A.M.

I only have one week before I leave. I don't have time to be lazy.

I wanted to create some happy memories with you today. Aren't you glad I came early?

- Happy memories? - Yeah. Aren't you glad?

I'm sorry to call you out so suddenly, Mr. Park.

It's okay.

I couldn't ask someone who's just been to the emergency room to drive to Wonju.

Hey, that... That...

What?

Hello? Mr. Lee? How are you feeling?

Well, you know. I'm just resting.

Oh, my. What to do?

I would like to visit you, but I'm on my way to Wonju now. Wonju, Wonju.

Oh, there's no need. It's okay. Yes. Yes.

He must be really sick.

That man... He's so sincere.

He's so sincere, he makes my blood pressure soar through the roof.

Mr. Park. I'm sorry, but you can go alone, right?

What?

I can't just let this go.

He pays me so much respect

that I must go to him myself to thank him.

Mr. Park, you know where Mr. Lee lives, don't you?

What?

Are you really not hungry?

I already ate.

Eat a little something.

No, don't worry about me.

I thought you weren't that close. Why is she here two days in a row?

I don't know. Maybe she thinks we're close?

Search: Lee Yunho

Keep it down. Go do that outside.

You go outside. Why are you still sleeping?

I was up all night. Go outside, okay?

I don't want to.

Come on!

Miss Seo Yunho, I need to talk to you. Could you stop by?

Vice Principal.

Oh, yes... You're Mr. Lee's nephew, right?

Yes.

So I'm at the right place. Mr. Lee's inside, right?

What? Yes.

Excuse me.

Who... Who may I ask...

You must be Mr. Lee's mother.

Yes, and you are?

Oh, hello. I'm the vice principal of Pungpa High School.

Oh, really? To what do we owe the pleasure?

I'm sorry, I'm here to see Mr. Lee...

He's not home right now.

I knew it.

May I wait inside?

Oh, of course. Please have a seat.

Miss Seo.

Hey, Yunho!

We meet again, cutie. It's nice to see you.

Yes. Is Miss Seo...

Miss Seo went grocery shopping.

What?

Come in, come in and wait. She'll be right back.

Man, she just told me to come.

Hey. I hear you were born in 1990. What did you eat that you're so tall?

What are you doing?

Oh, you don't see me as a woman, do you?

Oh, you little thing, you. I just think you're cute. Cute.

Hey, knock it off!

Okay, okay.

Oh, my. You're even cute when you're mad.

It's good to be young. Do you want something to drink?

Have some tea.

Yes, thank you.

I can't seem to reach Minyong. He must be watching a movie or something.

Oh, a movie. Movies are good.

Yes. He really likes movies.

Is Minyong working hard?

Yes, yes. He's doing very well.

He's so hard-working, his nickname is Hard-working Mr. Lee.

I'm just about about ready to recommend him for an award. Yes.

What? Really?

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Minyong is the baby of the family, so naturally we worry about him.

It puts my mind at ease knowing that you're taking such good care of him.

Oh, my.

What is it?

The coffee's salty. I think you put salt in it.

Oh, no. Did I? I must be crazy.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, it's fine. Our bodies need salt.

This is the first time I've ever had salty coffee.

I feel like I'm getting a special service. It's quite nice.

What? Really?

Oh, thank you.

Let me get some fruit for you.

No, no. I...

Does she expect me to keep drinking this coffee?

I'm home.

- You're home early. - Yes.

The vice principal from Minyong's school is here.

- Oh, my. Hello. - Oh, yes.

- This is my husband. - Oh.

It's nice to meet you.

To what do we owe this pleasure?

Honey, he's so kind and takes such good care of our Minyong.

- Oh, really? - He came looking for Minyong.

Hey.

What?

I'm bored.

Look at those eyes. Hey, you're pretty scary.

Hey, do you know how old I am? I'm the same age as your teacher.

Look at you, glaring at me because I was a little playful.

Oh, you little...

Please, stop.

You have really nice skin.

Aren't you supposed to have pimples at your age?

Hold on, now. Look at these arms.

You work out, don't you?

Oh, my. Hey. You work out instead of studying, don't you?

Please stop touching me.

Miss Seo!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You asked me to come.

When did I do that?

You sent me a text message before. You said you have something to say to me.

Me?

I sent it. I sent it.

Did I trick you?

I got you! I got you!

Look at his face turning all red. Oh, is little Yunho mad?

Oh, you're so cute. You're so cute.

I can't believe this.

What are you doing?

Give me a ride to the subway station.

No way. Get off!

Come on, now. Go. Let's go. Come on, Yunho, go!

Can't you go faster?

It's too dangerous.

I like danger! Go faster.

I can't breathe. Don't hold on so tight!

Can I drop you off at that station?

I have to take line 4. Drop me off at Dongjak Station.

Minyong isn't picking up. It's tiring waiting for him, isn't it?

Not at all.

I have all the time in the world. It's a given that I wait for the busy Mr. Lee.

Oh, thank you so much. You must really care for him.

You're bored, aren't you? How about a game of checkers?

Checkers?

I remember Minyong saying that you like playing checkers.

I'm only a level 3 player.

What do you know? So am I.

Shall we make a bet? Put a little money on it?

Sure, why not?

Did my opponent go somewhere?

One minute.

No, no. Take your time.

All I have is time.

What? Okay, then.

May I use the bathroom?

Oh, yes.

Oh, boy. How can this family be so clueless as to what I'm saying?

No wonder Minyong's the way he is. They're real quick. Real quick.

Hey. What are you doing?

What? Oh, I was just playing around.

Wow. You're really something.

If you wanted to win that badly, you should've ask me to take back a move.

Would you take back one move?

What?

Oh, that's so kind of you. Let's go back one turn then.

Wow. You really want to win.

There's money on this game, but you're willing to go back a turn just to win.

That's real admirable. Really.

Mr. Lee is just like you.

He is like me. That's why he always wants to win.

Okay. Your turn.

Do you perhaps... Do you wear a hearing aid?

What?

You're not young, but you understand me so well.

A hearing aid?

I have very good hearing. Yes.

Go ahead.

Minho? What is it?

I'm on my way home now.

Uncle Minyong. The vice principal's here. I think you should come quickly.

Why is the vice principal there?

He said he's here to see you.

What?

Man...

But, I think he's really mad right now.

How come?

Our family is completely clueless as to what the vice principal is really saying.

What?

You know, his sarcasm.

They don't get it at all.

I think I know what you're saying. I'll be home soon. Bye.

Taxi! Taxi!

If I knew we were having a guest, I would have gone grocery shopping.

I'm sorry we have nothing to eat.

Oh, no. Not at all.

There's so much food, I'm afraid the table will collapse.

There's so much to eat, I don't know where to start.

Please, help yourself.

I hear Mr. Lee is one of your favorites.

Does he work that hard at school?

Yes. Why else would I come here?

He's so sincere and hard-working...

Oh, really? I never knew that. I didn't know he was so respected.

Yes. He's so sincere and hard-working that I was about to recommend...

Oh! Father, did you get the notice from the Eastern Medicine Society?

Yes. I got it.

Oh, go ahead.

N-no.

You look like you enjoy a good meal. Please, go ahead.

Yes. I do enjoy my food. Thanks.

How about a game of checkers after dinner?

If you're going to ask me to take back moves, you should just start with two extra points.

Oh, that's kind of you.

How about three points? Let's bet $10 a game.

I'm making coffee. Should I make enough for everyone?

Yes. The vice principal likes salt in his, so put a spoonful in his cup.

You put salt in your coffee? That's interesting.

Please, eat, eat. Finish it.

Okay.

Who is it?

Miryeo.

Hi, Minjung. I'm here again.

Why did you drink so much?

What?

Oh, you're here again.

Aren't you busy getting ready to leave? Why do you keep coming here?

Minjung. Is Yunho here? Yunho.

Yunho? No. He's probably at home.

Why are you looking for Yunho?

Minjung, I'm going crazy.

What? Why?

I think I like him...

What?

I think I really like him.

I can't stop thinking about him. I can't sleep. I'm going crazy.

Get Yunho. Yunho.

Yunho. It's Miryeo. Are you surprised?

We don't know each other that well, but I have something to confess to you.

The moment I saw you,

I knew that I had met the perfect guy that I've been waiting 27 years for.

But... You really are too young. You're only in the 10th grade.

But I still like you a lot.

That's why I played jokes on you and touched your face.

I hope you understand, Yunho.

Yunho. The time that I held onto your waist and on your bike...

I think it's going to be the most beautiful memory I have of Korea.

Call Yunho! Call Yunho!

Yunho. I'll never be able to forget you.

Stay the sweet boy you are.

Bye. Miryeo.

What the...

Vice Principal.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Lee, you're really something.

Even with your stomach pains you were out and about all day.

You must have amazing will power. Amazing.

Oh, that... I... What happened was...

And another thing. Your family. Wow. Really...

What?

It's very obvious that they're your family.

It's very good. Good, good, good, good, good!

Hey. We helped you get more points with the vice principal, didn't we?

What?

I saw from the veranda. He said good, good, good, good at least six times.

Right? I'm so glad.

A few days later

This report is so perfect.

How is it that such a perfect teacher like you exists in this world?

Why are you so perfect?

Mr. Lee, are you Superman?

Why is Superman teaching a gym class? You should be saving the world.

How does such a perfect person exist in this world?

Write it again.

- Miss Seo. - Oh, Yunho.

What?

I feel really bad asking you this, but could you just this once...

No. Why do I have to see her off at the airport?

Just once. She really, really likes you.

She was crying this morning. She said you hadn't replied.

Why would I write back?

I understand, but if you see her off, I think she can leave happy. Please?

Oh, man...

Yunho. Please help me out this once. Please?

Miryeo!

Miryeo. Yunho wanted to see you off.

Hello.

Yunho.

Have a safe trip to Paris. I hope you learn a lot there.

Okay.

Is it okay if I hug you?

Yunho, you can't get let yourself go. Keep growing the way you are. Okay?

Okay.

I'll be back in three years.

You'll be in college then, right?

We'll see each other again then, okay?

Okay...

You should go, Miryeo. You don't want to be late.

Okay.

Bye, Yunho.

Thank you so much. I'll take you out for lunch.

I'm late for an appointment. I have to go.

Yunho.

I'm really sorry.

It's fine.

I'm so embarrassed.

She's 10 years older than you. You hated it, didn't you?

It wasn't that she was 10 years older. I just didn't like her.

What?

Age is just a number.

What?
