- Did you see it? - Did you throw it out?

Oh, wait.

Hey, Noh Se.

What's going on?

I thought you were teaming up with Won Dae.

How did you know?

Of course, I know. Everyone's talking about it.

So, did you two talk things out?

No more misunderstandings, right?

What misunderstandings?

We just have different perspectives.

Different perspectives?

What's your perspective?

Forget it.

There's something I can't quite put into words.

Then what about the choir?

- Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors! - Rock-paper-scissors!

- I'm not sure. - One more time!

- Hey, go and get it. - Come on.

- You're having lunch now? - Nice!

Yes, I had to take care of something earlier.

I see.

Let me know if you need my help with anything.

Will do.

All right, then. See you later.

- Hello, Sang Hyeon. - Hi.

- You're so handsome. - Thanks.

- Hi, Sang Hyeon. - Hi.

Hi, Sang Hyeon.

- Hello. - Hi.

My gosh.

"Let me know if you need my help with anything."

Stop it, okay?

He really isn't my cup of tea.

- Thanks for your help. - What?

I should thank you.

(Election Commission)

- You're here. - Yes.

You two know each other, right?

Everything.

- Shoot. - Hold on.

We're a team now, so let's get along.

Hi.

Yes.

Oh, my.

You two make a great pair.

- What? - I mean, you guys are similar.

You guys go really well together.

Great. Let's go inside.

- What? - What?

I don't like you either.

- What did you say? - I don't like you.

(Election Commission)

She doesn't like me?

Oh, well...

(Election Commission)

(Student Council Election)

(For 18-year-old voters)

Can you scoot over?

Why are you trying to squeeze into that tiny corner?

Se Hoon, come and stand here in the middle.

All right, let's see.

Last year, all three student council president candidates were girls.

This year, it's the opposite.

All right. Take this and read it over.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hand them out.

Won Dae, you know the drill since you did it last year.

- Right? - Yes.

Going by the order of candidate registration,

Sang Hyeon, Jeong Hui, and Se Hoon will be assigned number one.

- Got it. - Got it.

Won Dae and Yu Gyeong.

Find another vice president candidate by this week.

- Okay. - Okay.

Come on. Why do you look so glum?

All right. Cheer up, everyone. Let's shout together on three.

One, two, three.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Let's keep this fair and square and have fun while we're at it!

- Okay. - The presidential candidates.

Shake hands.

Come on.

The others should give them a big hand. You two, shake hands.

Applause!

(Election Commission)

Hey, are you all right?

That's panic disorder, you see.

What?

Panic disorder.

Pan... What?

I'll be off, then.

Okay. Thanks, Jeong Hui.

Hey, let me take you to the nurse's office.

No.

There's no need.

I'm fine.

Hey, what is with you?

You scared me, Noh Se.

You know my nickname.

Of course.

I already know everything about you.

- Bye! - Bye.

- Call me. - Get home safe.

(Youngjin High School)

Hey, Seon Jae!

What's going on? Why are you going home alone?

(Choir Captain Yang Won Dae)

What do I do?

You're not going to answer that?

Sang Hyeon.

- They hung up. - Who was it?

- Your girlfriend? - No.

I don't have a girlfriend.

I see.

Do you have to go to the academy later?

No, not today.

Then...

can he join us?

Yes, come with us.

Where are you going?

Se Hoon?

Yes.

Seriously, it's not even funny.

Then...

what's the deal with you two?

Are you two...

a couple?

Hey, this guy is so cute.

No, it's not like that. We aren't a couple.

Se Hoon, you're so innocent.

Is that what you were imagining?

Hey, we can't even eat together, then.

What is it?

- You crazy punk. You scared me. - Hey, Jae Won.

I scared you? As if.

Where are you going? You rarely take the bus.

Why?

We want to get some fresh air. Do you want to join us?

No, thanks. I'm busy.

I'm off.

My goodness.

Who...

Who was that?

Him?

He's our friend, I guess?

Yes.

He's a student, right?

No, not at all.

- It was you. - I know.

What was that, Mi Na?

Come on.

One, two, three.

Hold it like this and throw it.

- Like this? - Yes, that's it.

- What? - Oh, come on!

Can I put this on you?

- This? - How adorable!

Real men wear pink.

(Choir Captain Yang Won Dae)

This is so cute. My gosh.

All right.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Smile, will you?

One, two, three.

I can see it so clearly.

- Come and see it, Mi Na. - Okay.

- It's so clear, isn't it? - Yes, I can see it very clearly.

Hey, Se Hoon.

- What's that? - It's for you.

Aides to National Assembly members always carry notebooks like this.

Thank you very much, Sang Hyeon.

Come on. Can you stop being so polite?

It's making me cringe, you two.

Yes, stop being so polite.

Just speak casually.

Just say, "Okay, bro."

Okay, bro.

Did you like the food?

It was so good.

I think you're getting a call.

Why? Who is it?

Should I answer it for you?

No, I should answer it.

What is it? Is something going on?

Yes, it's kind of complicated.

- Hello? - Hello, Won Dae.

Noh Se Hoon! Why didn't you pick up earlier?

Do you know how many times I've called you?

I'm sorry.

Where are you now?

I'm out at the moment.

Hey, we made a promise.

How could you do that without even consulting with me?

How could you betray me like this?

Will you never see me again?

I'm sorry.

What's your reason? At least tell me your reason.

Come on.

You won't tell me?

- My reason? - Yes.

I need to hear your reason to forgive you.

Forgive me?

Yes.

Honestly, I wanted to run you over with my motorcycle.

Hurry up and tell me. Why did you do that?

Were you two always close?

Or did I wrong you or something?

Yes, that's right.

What did you say?

Sang Hyeon and I...

were always pretty close.

Yes.

So, Sang Hyeon came to me...

and said he had to team up with me.

That's why...

I had no choice but to make such a decision.

I guess I was wrong about you.

Anyway, I called...

to say we should get along.

So, don't be sneaky and screen my calls like that.

Okay?

Yes, I bet you're embarrassed.

But what can you do? It's not like we'll never run into each other.

We're both in the choir.

Yes.

- We are. - That's right.

So, stop avoiding me.

You really are hurting my feelings here.

All right?

Yes.

Well understood.

- I'm off! - Bye.

- Drive safe! - Will do!

Noh Se, I had so much fun today.

See you around.

See you, Mi Na.

Who's that guy?

Mi Na's brother.

He's her real brother.

Oh, he's her brother.

Did you talk things out with Won Dae?

Well, yes. Kind of.

I see.

It's your business, so I'm staying out of it.

It'd be weird for me to step in any way.

Anyway, get it sorted out.

And get along with the other kids in the choir.

You know they're all my friends.

Yes, Sang Hyeon.

Oh, Sang Hyeon. Why would you give me this?

Just because.

- Sorry I can't buy you a new one. - No.

You don't need to do this.

I'll reset it now.

Customize your settings on your way home.

I'll bring you the charger tomorrow.

Thanks, Sang Hyeon.

No, this is nothing.

I should thank you.

It must've been a difficult decision to make,

but because of me...

Here comes a taxi.

Yes. I'll be off, then.

Okay, bye.

I once heard...

that giving someone something you always carry with you...

is a really meaningful and personal thing to do.

Maybe...

Sang Hyeon is even a better person than I thought.

This is so cool.

I heard you recommended me to Won Dae.

- Yes. - Why?

You are...

the most popular girl in our grade and...

And?

Why did you suddenly betray us?

Well, I didn't betray you guys.

Then what is this?

What are you going to do about the choir?

- What do you mean? - Will you stay in the choir?

Yes, I'm staying.

You just do whatever you feel like, don't you?

The election and the choir...

are two separate things.

Okay, good luck.

What are you two doing here?

Goodness. Nothing.

I'm off.

Noh Se, that fool.

He looks like he has a lot on his mind.

Was he always like that?

Doing whatever he feels like? What's with him?

No.

Noh Se...

He's really...

He's just too ridiculously nice. That's why.

What does that even mean?

You could just say he's nice.

What does it mean to be too ridiculously nice?

I mean, he's nice. Like, too nice.

Whatever.

Anyway, I'm totally disappointed in Noh Se Hoon.

Hey, Park Ji Hun! What are you doing?

Hi, Yu Gyeong.

Hey! How did it go, you two?

It went well. It was perfect!

Seriously, thanks. We owe you one.

- Don't worry about it. - Oh, right.

Let's go to Hyeon Su's birthday party together.

We'll have fried chicken.

What? Fried chicken?

- You have to come. - You must.

- See you later! - Okay, see you.

I guess you have a lot of friends.

What?

Oh, that's because I've lived in this neighbourhood for 17 years.

I'm in like 63 group chats.

Park Ji Hun.

Then,

have you ever been class president before?

What?

(Youngjin High School)

Hey, Noh Se.

Even if you become student council vice president,

that doesn't mean you're no longer part of our class.

- That's right. - Exactly.

I don't care whether you're VP or the president of Korea.

I'm still your class president, okay?

- Yes, you're right. - Never forget that.

I'm the one in charge here.

- I'll remember that. - Good.

What are you doing, you two?

Hey, Jo Han Byeol. Are you two going out or something?

Are you all excited that he might become VP?

Stop overreacting, Kim Gi Jae.

Hey.

What's this?

- Guys, gather around! - What is it?

Where did you get this?

Look at you. You're wearing a smart band.

- I got it as a gift. - How much is this?

- A gift? - It's probably over 1,000 dollars.

My gosh. This punk gets gifts now.

- Isn't this a bribe? - A bribe?

- Hey, did you take bribes? - No, I did not.

- Never take bribes. - Hey, hold on. What the...

- This is mine! - Nice.

Hey! It suits you.

- It's mine, right? - Yes, it suits you.

- Can I try it on? - Excuse me, sorry.

- You want to try it on? - Oh, my.

- Hello. - Hi, Sang Hyeon!

- I want to try it on too. - Let me try it on.

- Hello. - Hi, Sang Hyeon.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi, Sang Hyeon.

Hey, Se Hoon. I brought the charger.

- You know, later... - Sang Hyeon.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Is that yours? - No, I was just trying it on.

- Don't do that again. - Sorry?

You'd better not do that again,

ever.

Oh, okay.

- I'll see you in the evening. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye, Sang Hyeon. - Have a great day!

He's really good-looking.

My gosh. Did you guys see his shoes?

How did he get those expensive shoes?

Sang Hyeon is seriously so cool.

Seriously, stop overreacting, Kim Gi Jae.

- I saw your legs give out on you. - What? That's nonsense.

- Hey. - How much is this again?

- Good for you, Noh Se. - Can I try it on?

Come on.

- I got this. - I brought one for you too.

- Let's go. - Hey, we'll take care of this.

- Thanks. - Did you get everything?

Se Hoon, so I thought about it.

Wouldn't it be better to meet up with Won Dae...

and get it sorted out in person?

You should end things on a good note.

I was so annoyed.

He betrayed me like a sneaky rat.

He really let me down.

Just let it go, Won Dae. Try to look on the bright side.

We got to weed out the nuisance right from the start.

If he'd stayed on the team,

we'd be even more annoyed down the line.

But I really can't forgive him.

Just let it go.

Let's hurry up and find a new candidate who can replace him.

How about this guy?

I thought they'd be super down because of me,

- You? Come on. - but they don't even seem bothered.

What are you, a physiognomist?

Well, then...

Nam Gyeong Tae?

Gyeong Tae is good to me.

Come on.

Gyeong Tae wouldn't be a good fit.

Someone got on my radar today.

Who?

It's not someone on this list.

Hey, it looks so funny.

- Hold on. - Hey, wait.

Isn't it hilarious?

- Oh, boy. - Right, hey.

- What? - Yoon Jeong Hui's mom...

called and lashed out at our PE teacher,

demanding they take responsibility for her grades.

Why is that the teacher's responsibility?

She's just extremely unathletic.

Hey, why is she running in the election anyway?

It really doesn't suit her.

She was standing next to Kwak Sang Hyeon,

but it looked like she was sitting.

Is she so short because only her head grew?

What's the point of being smart if she has such a terrible personality?

Hey, she didn't pass the Mensa test because of her nasty personality.

Stop talking nonsense.

Mensa doesn't care about your personality.

- For real, you brat. - It is true!

Hey, make way.

- We're blocking the whole street. - Oh, okay.

- Hey, it's him. - Noh Se Hoon in Class Four?

- He's on Yoon Jeong Hui's team. - For real?

Kwak Sang Hyeon is really something.

He teamed up with losers so he could steal all the spotlight.

Hey, he can hear us.

My goodness.

Noh Se, why are you so busy these days? What are you up to?

Hey, I'm out at the moment.

Where are you? Let's meet.

Why? What's up?

No, we should talk in person.

- You don't have time now? - Right now...

I'll call you later.

When? Call me back right away...

This one, please.

- Hi, Sang Hyeon. - You're here.

Does your family own this place?

Yes.

Come here anytime until you graduate from college.

Until I graduate from college?

Many college students come here.

I should go to college first.

- Right. - Yes.

The basement has a second floor?

Come on. It's no big deal.

Here, this is your room.

This is awesome.

The soundproofing in the room is solid,

so you won't need earphones when watching online lectures.

But you can't watch porn here.

Got it.

And...

Here.

This is like a credit card here.

Use it whenever you need.

Oh, right.

All the managers here...

are Seoul National University students on leave,

so feel free to ask them questions.

Think of them as your tutors.

Okay.

This is you, right?

Yes.

I did it for some pocket money.

Isn't that pose so lame, though?

- Let's go. - Okay.

Will Yoon Jeong Hui come here too?

Only when we have our meetings.

She prefers to work from home.

Anyway,

this is our hideout starting today.

- Make yourself at home. - Thank you.

Jeong Hui is here too.

Should we get started now that everyone's here?

Sure.

From now on, it's very important that we get along with everyone.

Neither of you is the type to fight with friends.

- That's right. - That's right.

Jeong Hui, you don't really laugh a lot, right?

I laugh when something's funny.

You do?

- Funny, right? - That fake smile.

See? It's nice to see you smile.

- She really irks me. - All right.

Okay, then shall we go through our campaign pledges?

This concerns our studies,

and this is about the school environment.

Is it because both of you get good grades?

These are great.

Did you guys do well on your last exam?

Yes, I did about the same as I normally do.

And you, Se Hoon?

- I also did... - I heard you bombed your exam.

What is her problem with me?

And how did she know I bombed my exam?

Oh, is she perhaps interested in me...

Don't get the wrong idea. I have no interest in you at all.

I just happened to overhear the teachers' conversation.

I didn't say anything.

It's written all over your face.

This is how my face always looks.

I didn't ask.

Seriously, you two look so cute together.

Come on. Stop saying that.

Hey, why are you getting worked up? I'm more offended.

Sang Hyeon, let's continue.

Hey, Se Hoon.

It's about numbers 2 and 3.

You didn't prepare these pledges with Yang Won Dae, did you?

No, I didn't. They're completely different.

Are they completely different?

How are they different?

As for that...

This is...

a screenshot of the messages we exchanged.

You can take a look.

With Yang Won Dae? Is it okay for me to take a look?

Well, I think it's fine.

Okay.

(Choir Captain Yang Won Dae)

(1. Aid for after-school activities, Shouldn't we be more specific?)

Since Won Dae has experience from last year,

he's good.

There are more screenshots.

Really?

Let me take a look.

(Candidate Recruitment...)

(for the Student President and Vice President Election)

Come on.

Stop it.

Do you have...

any inconveniences or suggestions regarding school life?

For me, it's that thing.

I don't want to listen to the lunchtime radio.

I know. It's so loud and distracting.

Not only that, their dance is subpar.

"To create an academic atmosphere..."

"A new paradigm for the lunchtime radio show?"

The title is quite nice.

Okay. Anything else?

Can you give us one of these each?

I can't do that for all the students.

Well,

wouldn't it be possible for Kwak Sang Hyeon?

I'm sorry,

but would you stop using such a casual tone with him?

Then you should start using a polite tone with me.

Hey, Noh Se.

Don't miss the choir meeting after school today.

You know that we're voting for the next choir captain, right?

Yes, I know.

I'm in your care.

Please support me, okay?

There isn't anything I can do.

Just recommend me.

Then I'll do the rest.

- Okay. - Noh Se!

- Hey, Park Ji. - Jae Seok. Hi.

- Hey. - Hi.

Hey.

How did you suddenly become a popular guy?

- Good afternoon, guys. - It isn't very good for me.

I must solve this mystery.

Hey, you should get to the bottom of it.

Where have you been?

You were nowhere to be seen.

I told you that we should talk...

What?

What's that? When did you buy it?

Student president candidate Kwak Sang Hyeon...

bestowed it on him as a present.

It's an electronic bracelet.

This model has the top specifications.

But I don't think it's new.

To be specific, it's secondhand.

Still, it's insanely cool.

Stop it.

What did you want to talk about?

Oh, I forgot. Hey, come on out for a second.

You bastard!

What's going on?

- Hey! - My goodness.

Nam Gyeong Tae!

What kind of a bastard does something like this?

- What? - What's going on?

What?

Hey, what's this piece of trash?

What's that?

Answer me, you piece of trash.

Don't roll those fish eyes of yours.

- What? - Oh, this?

Hey, Nam Gyeong Tae. Are you a piece of trash?

I wondered what he always did in the back.

- Was this what he was drawing? - I expected that much.

- This isn't mine. - Give me a break.

Can't you see your name in the back?

My name doesn't necessarily mean that it's mine.

Ms. Ah Yeong already took a picture.

Once she compares the handwriting, you're done for.

- He's ruined. - Oh, my.

Why would you compare it...

to my handwriting only?

It could be anyone who was in the Music Room that way.

I can't believe it.

Why do you think it's from the Music Room?

We never said that.

She's a detective!

She's cool!

You're ruined, Pervert Gyeong Tae.

Why would you live that way, Gyeong Tae?

Let's go.

Make sure to hire a lawyer.

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - Pervert Gyeong Tae!

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - Pervert Gyeong Tae!

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - For goodness' sake.

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - Hey, Noh Se.

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - Let's talk later, okay?

- I have a choir meeting. - Come on.

- We really need to talk, okay? - Pervert Gyeong Tae

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - Pervert Gyeong Tae!

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - What does he want to talk about?

- Pervert Gyeong Tae! - Pervert Gyeong Tae!

How many types of phonological changes are there?

- Four. - Four.

Metathesis, assimilation, deletion,

and dissimilation.

(Metathesis, assimilation, deletion, and dissimilation)

Nam Gyeong Tae.

You're lucky that you didn't receive disciplinary action.

- Han Byeol. - Yes?

Let's get him an ankle monitor or a neck monitor.

- I already ordered one. - She doesn't disappoint.

Noh Se, just give him yours.

Gyeong Tae, it's expensive.

The class ends here today.

Study for the next quiz.

- Okay. - Okay.

Work hard.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We love you.

Noh Se, are you out of your freaking mind?

What did I do?

Why did you put it in the music file?

You did it on purpose to ruin my life, right?

What nonsense are you spouting?

If that isn't it,

did you give it to Ha Yu Gyeong intentionally?

Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I do that?

Guys, friends shouldn't be like that.

If you're going to fight, do it for real.

Throw the first punch.

I forgot.

I forgot and left it in the file.

How am I supposed to believe anything a traitor says?

What? What did you say just now?

You backstabbed Won Dae, didn't you?

You betrayed him like a rat.

Stop it already.

You don't know anything.

That's right. Stop it already.

If you guys aren't going to fight, stop it already.

This is so boring.

Between a rat and a pervert, who will win?

Doesn't the pervert have a better chance due to size?

- Seriously. - Who will win?

- Are you leaving? - He's running away.

The rat is running away.

- Hey. - The rat is running away.

- Be quiet. - Stop it.

Idiot.

He really is a rat.

All right.

The pervert won.

- How boring. - Hey.

- Gyeong Tae, you won. - The pervert won.

I'm sorry.

Apologize to her properly from the bottom of your heart.

I'm sorry.

It was too much.

Okay then.

(History of Youngjin High School's choir)

(1994, the 72nd Children's Day Event)

(1998, 50th Anniversary Special Event Performance)

(Choir captain election)

- I'll put it here. - Okay.

(Choir captain, Ballot box)

Hey, think about it.

- Really? - Hey.

Let's hurry up and begin.

Seniors are busy.

I told you that you didn't need to come.

Why did you come, Seo Kyeong?

I still wanted to cast a vote.

I was the captain last year.

For goodness' sake.

- Won Dae. - Yes.

(Choir captain election)

Now, we'll vote for the next choir captain.

Please recommend anyone who will be a good fit.

I want Won Dae to remain as the captain.

- Recommendations? - Just say that you'll do it.

It looks like everyone is reading the room.

Then I'll recommend someone first.

You might be surprised, but this person is a good fit.

- It must be you. - I've watched for a while.

This person was always punctual...

with our meetings and clean ups.

Se Hoon.

He was the only one.

Noh Se, come on.

I'm not saying that clean ups are important.

"How much can one dedicate himself to the club?"

"How responsible can one be with the small promises?"

I'm talking about those issues.

I think someone like that should lead the choir.

That's all.

Does anyone else have a recommendation?

Se Hoon, you were about to raise your hand.

What?

It's nothing.

You guys are rivals...

for the student council election, right?

Yes.

But the student council and choir are two different things.

- All right! - You're cool!

You're so cool.

He doesn't disappoint.

How nice.

He has a point.

They're two different things.

Any other recommendations?

Se Hoon, let's hear a few words from you.

- What? - Okay!

Don't just sit there, Se Hoon.

- Come on out. - That's right.

Let's go.

- What are you doing? - Come on.

Come on out.

- Let's go. - Come on out.

Let's go.

- Let's go. - You're cool, Noh Se Hoon.

Let's do this.

Why are you terrified?

See?

See? I forgave you.

I'm...

very ashamed.

I'm ashamed...

because I wasn't the only one who did that.

I'm very thankful for Won Dae's words.

However,

if I get nominated for such reasons,

I'll feel bad for other members.

The choir hasn't been going well...

because of me.

I think it's thanks to the members who have put in the effort...

in their respective positions.

The one who organizes the music sheets,

the one who distributes snacks,

the one who is in charge of the group messages,

the one who edits videos,

and...

the one who plays the piano.

I don't think it's the effort of 1 or 2 people...

that keeps the choir going.

In that sense,

Won Dae's words were a bit disappointing.

And I have a fatal flaw.

I'm tone-deaf.

- He's pretty tone-deaf. - That's right.

Thus, I'm not suitable to become the captain.

Instead,

I'd like to nominate the most fitting candidate.

He can sing well.

He has a lot of interest in music.

Most importantly, he has passion and loyalty.

I...

nominate Yu Ui Jun as the next choir captain.

- That's right. - Ui Jun, it's you.

- Come on out. - Yu Ui Jun!

- Yu Ui Jun! - Ui Jun, let's go!

- Yu Ui Jun! - Yu Ui Jun!

- Yu Ui Jun! - Yu Ui Jun!

- Let's go! - Yu Ui Jun!

Thank you.

Firstly, I'd like to thank Se Hoon for nominating me.

His speech moved me so much.

If you give me a chance,

I'll show utmost dedication.

With Yang Won Dae,

I'll enter the student council election.

It's quite sudden,

but my homeroom teacher and my parents think...

that it'll be a good experience.

In any case, call me after the choir.

- Let's talk. - I, Yu Ui Jun,

will dedicate myself fully...

to the choir.

- Yes! - You're cool!

Let's go, Yu Ui Jun!

(Choir captain election)

I first joined the choir...

because there were many pretty girls.

Even though I was tone-deaf,

I loved how my mistake wasn't noticeable...

when I stood next to the loud members.

Instead,

I decided to take the initiative.

I thought that was the least I could do for the choir.

I'm happy...

because today's applause felt like praise for my effort.

But from now on, I won't be praised for my effort only.

I'll bow out...

before the applause fades.
