Original subtitles

Now, I'm coming.

1, 2, 3...

It's my turn.

Hurry.

1, 2, 3.

I'm dying.

Now, it's my turn.

Oh, I'm done.

What do you think of confessions on this romantic fall day?

Confess what?

The deepest secrets hidden in our hearts.

- What's that? - Love.

Then, Bok-sun, you start.

I suggested it, so I guess I have to go first.

- He's cold-hearted. - Who?

- He doesn't know how I feel. - Who?

- It was a cruel April. - So it happened last April.

He was a baseball player at high school.

No. 4, I bet.

Stop chiming in. She's serious.

I cheered him on at every game.

But before I even talked to him, he transferred to another school.

Oh.

That happened in April.

Ohh.

I'm sorry.

Then, it's Han Jeong-ah's turn.

Good.

Come on.

Hey! Where're you going?

You weasel!

I've had a secret since I was a kid.

- Stop stalling. Confess! - Hurry.

Hurry up. We're unanimous!

It happened when I was nine.

What!

You were mature for your age.

Shh!

Like a flower blooming at night,

why don't you confess your first love?

He must have been about ten.

Maybe it was just a dream that I dreamt.

That's why he never really materialized.

He was like a knight in a dark suit.

Maybe I grew up harboring that secret,

waiting for him to come.

It's beautiful but it's only a dream.

I envy you. It's a dreamlike confession!

I kept the secret with him.

I didn't tell my secret to anyone. My dark knight.

So romantic! I wish he'd appear now.

Hey, a dark night won't show up just any time.

That's true.

He'd appear like a wind, to fight for justice.

Hey! Let's go there.

Do you know where the dark knight is?

Well, what used to be a house turned into a high way and ...

Wow, there're so many flowers here.

A yellow flower and a red flower, let's be friends.

Wow, you're prettier than a pumpkin flower.

What're you doing?

- Hop on. - Yeah, hop on.

- Get off me. - Help!

What're you doing? If you don't leave, we will call for help.

- Very feisty. - Wow, a feisty one!

- As a student, you should study! - Wow, seriously.

Like a girl in the western movies, hop on!

- Hands off! - No!

Let's go!

Got to run!

- Ah, oh no! - Oh my!

What the... Who're you?

You bastard!

- Give him hell! - Sure thing!

Let's go!

Oh, my! So cool!

You guys look like rich brats!

This is my territory, wimps!

This is not much,

but please let us go.

You cowards, get lost!

- Get lost! - Let's go.

This is really a secret.

You, too. Give it up.

There's no free lunch.

Give what up!

Hurry. I'm a busy man. Stop taking up my time.

I saved you because you're a weak girl.

Inflict the same wound on me.

What?

I want to pay a high price to make things even.

Even? What the...

How ridiculous.

You may be pretty but stop looking at me like that.

No!

Don't go!

You don't have to run away!

Get off of me. I said get off!

If you run, it means you're guilty.

Song Tae-il!

I knew it was you. You're still up for no good?

- Sir! - No, it's not me.

I heard you extorted things from the boys on the motorcycle.

No, I didn't!

Stop lying. We will need to take you in to teach a lesson.

- Let me go! I didn't do it! - Follow me.

It wasn't me, I swear!

Dad!

Dad!

You're home early today!

What're you talking about? I'm home early every day.

Is that so?

The thing I asked you...

- Ah, Song Tae-il? - Yes.

I will take care of it. You can forget about it.

Dad!

I will take him out of the juvy by even becoming his guarantor.

Thanks, dad!

My one and only daughter asked for it. I have no choice.

You know how I hate pulling in favors to my subordinates.

We don't know what will happen, so you should forget him.

Dad!

I have another favor to ask you.

Another one?

Now that I've got her, we should shake her down more.

I lost an eye because of you.

I can only see things with one eye,

- and I'm in despair... - What did she say to that?

She cried. It was embarrassing.

You're a villain. Really.

I can't do anything for him anymore.

Dad.

You paid him back when I got him out of the detention center.

No, you don't know anything.

Because of that incident, he lost his vision in one eye.

What?

Dad.

I've done a terrible thing to him.

I made him be like that.

Please help me, dad. If you don't, I... I...

I will never get out of the guilt.

Please, dad. Dad.

Be careful with him. Not only does he have a scar on his forehead,

but he is also likely to turn out bad.

No, Tae-il is not bad by nature.

His scar and his parents' death did it. He needs caring.

Jeong-ah. You're too young to know the real world.

Maybe that's why I can see

pure things buried in the dark.

Okay, I will accept your request.

But don't disappoint your mom who's abroad.

Do you like this room?

Beggars can't be choosers, right?

Anyway, what's guaranteed?

Your tuition, boarding and transportation fees.

Allowance?

You're on your own.

Dad says it's not about money. It's about being self-sufficient.

I need to learn to be independent, right?

Please say thanks to your Scrooge dad.

Watch your mouth.

I'm sorry. My bad.

Okay, if you know it. I've got to be going.

Oh, I didn't even serve you tea.

It's fine. Just stay.

This is for you, for entering a new school.

This is the first present I got in my life.

It's a wrist watch.

Wow!

Promise me that you will behave at school, from tomorrow.

My dad is the foundation chair of that school, so don't make him look bad.

Don't worry. I'm a nice guy despite some trouble in the past.

Don't get into trouble.

I will try really hard this time.

- Really? - Yeah.

It's a promise.

This is not like me but I'm excited.

I'm a student at Jaeil High.

Before I called your name, you were a pebble stone.

But when I called your name,

you came to me and became a flower.

When I kissed your flower petal,

you became a full moon in my heart...

overflowing the world with moonlight.

That's great!

Stop kidding me.

The poem is good but your reciting is even better.

I like that part.

'When I called your name, you came to me and became a flower.'

Jeong-ah.

What do you want? This is a girls only zone.

Don't flatter yourself. I have no business with you.

I knew it.

You will die single, after spending a lifetime chasing after Jeong-ah.

- What? - I bet you will, tease-ya.

Why, you!

What's the matter?

I went to the riverside and found a pretty stone.

This is for you.

I named it "My Love for You."

Please accept "My Love for You."

I will accept it but I will change the name to "Our Friendship."

Thanks.

Let me introduce the new student Song Tae-il.

Take off your hat.

Don't be rude.

- Just take it off. - Be quiet!

Take it off.

Can't you hear me? Take it off now.

Hey, listen to her.

Can't you hear!

Come on, Song Tae-il.

- Ma'am. - Go on.

Let me talk to him as a discipline leader.

You should know that we take off our hats in class.

Take it off. You're disrespecting the whole class.

- Hey, are you deaf? - Take it off, Song Tae-il.

Ma'am, I will take it off.

- Yeah, go on. - Take it off now.

Ma'am, please introduce me to these guys.

I came to this school on Chairman Lee's special favor.

What? Get your hands out and button up your uniform.

Sorry, it's my bad habit.

Hey!

- Oh... - Hong-il!

- Get him to the infirmary. - Hurry. Let's go.

Oh, no. He is knocked out.

You bastard!

Don't be like this. I need to ask you something.

Since you were in the front, you should be my witness.

What?

I should just...

Song Tae-il! Be straight with me.

You say you only lifted your hand and he got knocked out?

It was just a coincidence.

I just got my hand out of the pocket.

Choe Seok-jun, you were in the front and saw it.

Yes.

Let's hear what you have to say.

I don't think it was a coincidence.

Someone's life can be on the line, depending on your words.

Shut up! Are you threatening him?

Threaten? No, I'm just the new guy.

And he wouldn't just get threatened and do nothing.

Right. I'm a tough guy.

So, Seok-jun. You should tell the truth.

Well, it could have been a coincidence.

What?

If then, what was it?

- I mean... - Stop stalling. Talk!

It was a coincidence. It was.

It was really a coincidence.

Who told you to stand up? Sit down.

Yes, sir.

And this is not your first time.

You can't keep blackmailing people.

You didn't have the right attitude on your first day at school.

You were wearing your hat in class.

That's not true.

You only care about the resulting behavior.

Why don't you analyze the psychological motivation?

What did you say? Are you trying to lecture me?

Please don't take my words that way.

Shut up.

Wait.

Please look at the scar on my forehead.

I don't want others to see it.

That's all. Nobody would understand me.

Then, I have a habit of putting my hands in the pockets.

I try to look confident since I pity myself.

I hope you understand. But it was my fault anyway.

- I understand. - Mr. Vice Principal.

People can make mistakes.

Luckily, the discipline leader woke up after fainting.

Let him off the hook this time.

Hey, Jeong-ah!

Get out of my way.

Why are you so obsessed about studying?

It's a disaster. The dark knight is in trouble. Go!

Go now.

Jeong-ah!

Tae-il!

Promise me you will put up with everything

and won't get into a fight.

Yes.

Wow! Hooray!

Wow!

Oh, you jumped out of the window.

Don't. It's against the rules. It's not student-like.

I'm sorry, Miss.

And your hair is too long and your uniform is not tidy.

I will keep that in mind. I won't jump out of the window, either.

Oh.

Here, pass.

You're too slow.

Good, good.

Your tackle is weak.

What's wrong with you? It's too weak. You'll become a laughing stock!

Good.

Yes.

They call that rugby!

What? Our school is best at rugby and boxing.

Then, which team shall be honored by my presence?

Are you that reckless?

What?

Rugby captain Kwon and boxing captain Kim are number ones here.

- You are nothing compared to them. - Nothing?

How dare you talk about me like that?

Come on.

That's good.

Good, good.

There, there.

You need to get better.

Korean government, in October, 1972, to cope with global events and

achieve a historical mission of national revival,

launched the Yushin Reform and amended the constitution.

We proclaimed the charter of national education in 1968

in a bid to raise national self-independence.

Thus, we boost our defense and national economy

while screening the influx of foreign culture,

and restoring the relation between the two Koreas.

We vow to revive national welfare through scientific revolution.

Good!

Study hard!

Hey, hurry.

- Song Tae-il! - Me?

- You broke the dress code. - What's wrong?

What's with the sleeve?

Not to be late, I have to look at my watch. Sorry.

What.

Damn, because of that little watch.

Hey, Jeong-ah! Look at that.

Geez...

What's with your uniform? You broke the promise with me.

I'm sorry.

The dark knight is as weak as a kitten in front of you.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Oh, you startled me.

What? Did you bring me another present?

No, today, I got a letter of plea.

What! A letter of plea?

It's an emergency.

I can't sleep at night.

Shall I sing you a lullaby?

This has lyrics. Read them.

We saw it!

Jeong-ah. Read it.

What're you guys doing here?

Do not make a fuss.

Go, you guys.

- Go away. - Yeah, fine.

- Show us. - It's just us.

If you don't show it, we might get wrong ideas.

- Right. - Suit yourself. You can think whatever.

Don't be like that. Let's see it.

Let's see it!

I roll this 3 times, and if the letter side shows, we read it.

Okay. Sure.

- Okay? - Okay.

Here we go.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Now, stop bothering me. You guys lost.

This sucks.

- Really. - Look here.

I am going to tear it.

Why! Hey!

What're you doing?

Don't!

Hong-il. The word is out that you got knocked out by the newbie.

Hey, make yourself clear on this.

- Hong-il, you will do nothing? - You need to punish him.

- We've got to make him apologize. - Right!

But I'm a discipline leader.

This is not a man's job.

We need to do this until we get married. Even soldiers do it.

- Song Tae-il! - What?

- Hong-il wants to see you. - Come out.

Okay. You, carry on.

Okay.

Damn, it's cold.

You're too arrogant for a newbie.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

That's not enough. Kneel and apologize.

- You're too arrogant. - We need to do something.

Kneel!

Promise me that you will put up with everything

and will never get into a fight.

Say something!

- Cat got your tongue? - Jerk.

No! Hong-il!

What're you doing?

- This is a welcome party. - What?

You guys are cowards. You are a discipline leader. I'm disappointed.

Get up right now. Tae-il. Come on.

What's going on? Can't believe Jeong-ah took his side.

That jerk!

You did well. Really well.

Losing is winning in the end.

I don't think I can graduate from high school.

Why are you saying that?

Tae-il,

if you try a sport like rugby, you might like this school better.

- Maybe boxing... - Well, if that's what you like.

- Let's go. - That jerk...

There he is.

Tae-il, I think you should choose boxing.

- Why? - I think you were born to...

Song Tae-il!

Want to join our rugby team? We need a gutsy guy like you.

We always come second. We need some tough players.

Are you like spinach for Popeye?

I heard about you from Yangjin School.

- I'm not doing it. - What! Why not?

What's the reason?

Look at these guys. They're all dying to punch me.

- What a jerk! - Stuck-up bastard!

That jerk!

If you leave him like that, it's disgrace for our rugby team.

Every muscle in my body is dying to beat him up.

Shut your mouth!

That's it.

Ducking around when you need to duck!

There.

Upper, upper.

Hey, Il-nam. Hey.

The swing is not good.

Good, good. That's it.

Hey, hey, hey.

Good, good. That's it.

Yes, that's right. Hit it.

Hey, upper.

Jeez.

That's weird. Looks like they don't know a thing about boxing.

What did you just say?

They're not boxing but dancing, like a rabbit dance.

Right, it's a rabbit dance.

What? Do you want to die?

Boxing is all about the wrist movement, steps and the waist.

You're a champion in theory.

If I can find a partner, I can be a champ in real life!

I will fight you, you cocky bastard!

You don't really get me excited, but I will be generous.

Okay, sure.

Tae-il!

Please don't. Tae-il is not bad by nature.

Because of his complex, he says things he doesn't mean.

Why do you know about him so well?

Jeong-ah is my friend forever.

Oh, my...

What, friend forever? Are you kidding me?

No, he doesn't mean that.

Don't fight, Tae-il!

This is not a fight. It's a sport.

No, I will be kind enough to be a coach.

No. Get down here.

- Don't worry. - Come down.

I'd be rather happy if I get completely destroyed here.

My Jeong-ah will make me a beautiful grave.

Stop it, Tae-il. Please.

Don't worry. My head is not a cotton candy.

I will turn it into a cotton candy.

- Come on. - Cheer up, Tae-il.

Kill him, kill him.

Kill him with one hook.

That's right.

Go, Tae-il! Go!

Oh, no.

Hey, hey. Come on.

Tae-il! Tae-il!

Hey, come on.

Give him a good one.

Step back! Step back!

Watch and hit. Watch.

Hey, hey. Hit him.

Good, good.

Tae-il!

Go for it!

That's it. More, more, more.

Hey, hey. Right, right.

- Jeez. - Watch out, Il-nam.

That's right.

That's good!

Hey, hey, hey. Go, Tae-il!

Good job, Tae-il!

Hey, Il-nam!

Stop it. Stop and get down here.

- Good, good. - Stop it!

That's what I'm talking about.

That's good. Right there.

Right, that's perfect.

Yipee! It's a knockout!

- Hooray! It's a KO! - Don't!

Ouch, ouch. Feels like I was fighting.

I'm dying. Sorry, Jeong-ah.

Here comes the champion.

Captain, don't you want me to join the boxing team?

This one, too.

I rejected the rugby team's offer.

What? The rugby team?

Two are courting me but I only have one body.

Let's go.

Gee...

Song Tae-il, you need to join us.

You wish! But I don't want to see your hateful faces.

Take pictures to remember me or something.

Jeong-ah, you should persuade him. He's really talented.

Not sure. He has a weakness. He can't see with one eye.

Weird. How could he defeat Il-nam with just one eye?

Be confident! You have to live like that no matter what!

By any means, you must win. You never won,

although you may have beaten people. You saw yourself falling.

You must win! You have to win!

Jeong-ah, you don't look so good.

Are you worried about something?

Are you okay? Your left eye seems bad.

Left eye?

It's all a lie. You are pretty stupid.

What? Tae-il!

You're a bad person. You deceived everyone

including me!

What?

You're going to regret this! I will despise you!

Despise? Fine.

Listen to me. It was not a complete lie.

I only see the world with one eye. Just one!

Physically I may have two, but my mind has only one eye!

You always cause trouble.

Why did you pit the rugby team against the boxing team?

You are evil!

They're fighting on their own. Who made me evil?

Who gave me this scar?

This medal of scar, huh?

I know, and that's why I am trying to make it up to you.

You know...

I've been living only for myself and only for my survival.

I don't want to hear it.

Jeong-ah! Listen to me!

Jeong-ah!

No! Let go of me!

I was waiting for this day. I wanted to tell you everything.

No, no! You're a bad person!

From the night I rescued you, I had a fever from tetanus infection.

I was in bed for half a year.

You made him feed the goat and that's why this happened.

Feeding the goat has nothing to do with this.

He was bumming around and that's why!

You rascal!

- Stop it! - Get off of me!

- What's wrong with you? - Die!

Why didn't you come to my house then?

I didn't want to say that I got hurt because of you.

I swore never to tell that.

I lied that I fell off from a tree.

I don't know why I wanted to protect you, then.

Because of my treatment, we lost what little property we had.

And my dad disappeared because of my mom's nagging.

After that, she died because of the shock and stress.

Then, I hopped between relatives and orphanages...

I failed and skipped classes and stole lunch boxes.

Tae-il!

Then, I saw you.

I wanted to use you no matter what.

I wanted to achieve something fast.

I don't know what it was, though.

I get lonely, too.

I wanted to see my dad who abandoned me and ran away...

That's why I wanted to grab onto something.

I see what you mean... I understand you.

But in life, we're here for the long haul.

Also, don't envy actors who appear first on stage.

Become an actor who never steps off the stage.

Okay. Let me ask you one thing.

You will ignore me from now on. You hate me, don't you?

When a person loves another,

that real love shouldn't be blind but be solemn like a religion.

Don't even think about real love without taking risks.

In my young yearning heart,

that flower of truth will bloom with splendid joy.

I will heal Tae-il's bruised heart so that his scar caused by me

will turn into an honorable medal of life.

Now you know...

Why we got you here, huh?

You know how many people are into psychic science these days.

I'm a little bit of psychic myself.

Are you really messing with us?

You need to get beaten up to come to your senses.

This was not my intention.

I had you guys bidding for me for a higher price...

You jerk!

No, Tae-il!

- What're you doing? - You need to step back.

You're disappointing us too, Jeong-ah.

I thought you were smarter than being deceived by this guy.

This is not like you.

She and I have a story that goes way back...

Right?

Tae-il. Stop it, please.

Hey! Step back.

What's that story?

Okay.

If you guys insist, I will reveal the first chapter of our story.

- Jeong-ah and I... - Stop it.

She's an angel and I'm a parasite that lives off her.

Then, you will understand it easily.

Please stop.

It's fine, Jeong-ah

I'd like to come clean completely right now

Just cut to the chase and go to the main part.

The main part... Sure.

I did something for her in the past, something not that significant,

and I've been milking her for that,

like the tuition, boarding and transportation fees.

Stop it. Stop.

It's okay. The first chapter is finished.

Next, I will tell you why I'm not joining the boxing or the rugby team.

Tell us.

I do feel guilty a little bit.

Her family pays the tuition, boarding and bus fees.

But I earn my own pocket money.

So, after school, I have a part time job cutting paper at a paper shop

So I can't join any of the teams even if I'd like to.

I didn't know you had that kind of reasons.

I will ask my dad about your allowance.

Jeong-ah! That's not what I meant.

This is a surprise.

It's a no! And that's the end of it!

He's very cunning.

You're not rescuing him but making him more cunning.

No, it's not that, dad.

Some people has potential and it shows. I can tell that he's not worth it.

He doesn't deserve your help or attention.

Sports is like handing him a knife in his hand.

Dad, you're biased against him.

Your mom will come back from the U.S. soon. Just study.

Dad.

It's scary. Why is the world becoming scary to me?

Since I got this watch, it seems a new time has begun.

That's what scared me. I'm afraid.

What shall I do? Ask my dad again?

No, I will earn money for Tae-il's allowance myself.

Aunt!

Oh, Jeong-ah. It's been a while.

How is your business going?

We have a lot more customers.

- How's your dad? - Fine.

I do housework until my mom comes back.

Such a good girl!

Sit.

- You want a strawberry cake? - I'm fine.

I haven't seen you in a long time. I want you to have something.

No, it's not that. Can you hire me?

Vacation is coming up so I want to work part time for experience.

That's a good attitude. But why?

I'd like to make my own money. I need it for something.

I'll be in trouble if your dad finds out, making his only daughter work like that.

He'll be glad that I set an example for women in Korea.

But this should be between us, though.

Okay, I will officially hire you then.

But, I want an advance payment.

Wow, you're a difficult worker.

Yes or no?

Of course, yes. Anything for my precious niece.

Thanks, aunt.

What's up, Jeong-ah? What're you doing standing here?

This is your allowance. It's not much but make it count.

So don't worry about the money and try rugby or boxing.

Here.

I'm such a bad guy. I disturbed your perfect life...

It's okay. Just do your best. Don't think this is trouble for me.

Then, see you later.

Hey, run! You, I mean, you!

- Tackle him. - That's right.

Do it!

Good job!

How about that! Am I good enough for you guys?

The problem is that you're two timing with the boxing team.

It could strain things between the two teams.

Beg me. Ask me to help out the rugby team.

What?

Ha!

Captain, the rugby team made Tae-il a bench warmer.

Winning isn't everything. Sportsmanship matters more.

Also the morale of other players.

I will have him compete as our main member.

What? It will make him even more arrogant.

He will look down on us.

Don't worry. I'll make him fail, not make him a hero.

What make him fail?

I will pit him against Killer Punch Kim Cheon-seok, the former champ.

Tae-il will be beaten into a pulp and fall. This is going to be fun.

Good.

Hey, hey.

Wow.

They look good together.

They make a good picture.

Which bastard did this prank?

- We don't know. - Let's leave here.

Listen well. This is not out of jealousy.

In a nutshell, Tae-il is a cancerous being to our school.

But now you're giving him an allowance?

That's none of your business.

Allowance money or not, why would you care?

You, fool! You have no pride? Can't hear people laughing at you?

Pride? People laughing at me? I don't care.

What matters to me now is

how sincerely I am treating another person.

But the other person should accept your sincerity for it to shine.

Forget it. The real fools are you guys, not me.

Why are we fools?

The sincerity is accepted discreetly.

You think that truth gets passed on like a piece of fruit.

Something that is visible.

So? You're confident that you can lead him to the right path?

Sure, with even more love...

I'm ready to get my hands dirty for him.

- What would you like? - Four donuts.

- Anything to drink? - No, thanks.

Got it.

She's hot, right? What a waste for her to be here.

You want to cast a net?

- A cockroach! - Oh, my gosh.

What're you doing? You should be careful.

You should apologize.

Go over there and take the order.

Are you trying to pull lame pranks here?

What?

I don't need business from people like you. Leave.

Look at my pants.

Whatever. Go get a haircut. Your hair is too long. Get lost!

- You must have been startled. - I'm sorry.

Don't be. You didn't do wrong. Think of it as a lesson learned.

You're become a big girl.

You've become so pretty and your neck has become slender like a flower.

Stop it, mom.

But you need to lighten up a little. Perhaps it's because you're older.

It's because of you. She had to do your work for half a year.

I'm sorry about that. But everything went well.

You will get a full scholarship.

No, I'm not going overseas to study.

What? You begged to study abroad.

You can't take it back.

Sir, please let me get off.

Mom, you go ahead first. I'm meeting a friend.

Don't stay out too late.

Come home early so that we can have dinner. It's been so long.

Sure.

Hong-il.

Jeong-ah, what on earth are you doing here?

Hong-il!

- Girls, is school over? - Oh, it's Jeong-ah's mom. Hello.

Where's Jeong-ah?

She was just here but she just snuck out.

Maybe she went to the boxing ring.

Yes. She may be right.

A boxing ring? Why would she go there?

You know, the boy named Tae-il...

- Then, see you later. - Bye.

Tae-il?

Go!

Hit him! Hit him!

- He's getting so messed up. - It will put him in his place.

Come on. Come on.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Fight!

- Get closer. - Gong!

Gee.

- Don't be stubborn. Give it up. - You will get all messed up.

I know what you guys are up to.

But I won't lose. No matter what, I will win.

I respect your spirit but don't drag it on.

Don't worry. I will finish him off this round.

Get him. Get him.

Nice. Nice.

Hey, push. Push.

Push him, push him. What're you doing?

Good. Good.

It's a foul. Foul.

- 9, 10! - Woohoo!

It's a KO! KO!

Yay, it's a KO!

Wow, this is a shocker. You won! You're my hero. No, you're like a god!

Settle down.

Tae-il...

Huh?

You always won like that. But do you think it's a real victory?

You can't always use shortcuts. You actually lost today.

Lost? Right. I have a conscience.

But I will never lose to you. On anything.

- Really? You said anything. - Should I repeat myself?

It was a good chance to show yourself to everyone.

The kind of man Jeong-ah want you to be.

Okay. With what shall we decide?

What are you good at?

Studying and motorcycling.

It's tricky with studying so let's go with motorcycling.

You should stop cheating and win fair and square.

No! I was always fair and square!

You've always been fair? Do you think it's fair

that Jeong-ah's serving at a cafe to give you an allowance?

- What? She's serving at a cafe? - The match is on on Sunday.

If you're smart, you could win Hong-il in studying.

You are not stupid. If you try, you could do it.

Jeong-ah is...

You can't always use shortcuts.

You need to take one step at a time.

You think it's fair that Jeong-ah's working to give you an allowance.

Jeong-ah! That student, Song Tae-il...

We need to send him to another school.

Dad!

I'm shocked. How could you do such a thing?

I know you have a pure and noble mind,

but the world isn't like that.

Mom, you've taught me to be a sincere person since my childhood.

But why are you teaching me hypocrisy and self-interest now?

You're trying to take on too much burden.

No, I'm going to go by my belief, no matter what.

If Tae-il is sent away, I will quit my school, too.

Jeong-ah!

Adults are two-faced and blind.

Adults criticize youngsters going astray,

but when they need love, adults become calculating...

Shut up! Just get ready to go to granny's in the countryside.

No, I'm not going!

Jeong-ah!

- Hello. Jeong-ah? - This is Tae-il.

Tae-il!

- You're crying! - No. I don't cry like a little girl.

No matter what people say, I'm your friend.

I believe you, no matter what.

I believe that you will become a great person some day.

And I will stand by your side, praying for you.

Jeong-ah. Thank you. Really.

I know you work at the cafe for me.

I feel like I'm going to collapse tonight.

No! No! What're you talking about?

I'm by your side. Then, why would you collapse?

Jeong-ah. I suddenly feel like studying.

But I don't know where the library is.

What! The library?

Yes, let's go there and study together. I'll be there soon.

No.

- You're not allowed to meet Tae-il. - Let me go!

Jeong-ah!

I really didn't know that this many students would be studying.

While I was wasting time fighting and stuff,

I guess the other students were using their time wisely.

Now we are one of those students.

No, it's too late for me.

No, that's not true.

Today is a day earlier than tomorrow. We're getting a 24 hour head start.

I feel this waiting is a waste of time.

Shall we study in the mountain?

Asking and answering questions to each other makes it easier to memorize.

Let's go.

The King who used Tangpyeong Policy

- was Yeongjo in Joseon Dynasty. - Yeongjo.

The King who implemented Gyunyeok Law?

It was Yeongjo, too.

What did Yeongjo implement?

Tangpyeong Policy and Gyunyeok Law.

Right. This way, we won't forget this question.

This is called association memorization.

If you think of Tangpyeong, you think of Namsan Mountain,

and you think of Jeong-ah who said Yeongjo.

- You got it? - This is amazing.

My brain is actually absorbing all this!

Why are you looking at the watch all the time?

You have plans?

What is it? Another fight?

- Where and with whom? - No.

I'm fighting against myself.

Jeong-ah's Tae-il is winning.

- I want to ask you a favor. - What's that?

If you let yourself lose, others won't fight you.

Can you lose for me?

Actually, Hong-il wanted a motorcycle match.

I called you to talk about that.

Good. Thanks.

I will lose to Hong-il.

Tae-il.

This is done.

Here.

Thank you. Bye.

On one peaceful day, a feast is on, regardless of people's class.

In our village, peace continues on.

Tae-il. It's good that you decided to study,

but will you be able to remember that?

I'm confident.

Glory is for the nation...

- The river will... - Hey.

With your stupid head, it will be like one ear in, one ear out.

You're wrong about that.

I started one day earlier than tomorrow, 24 hours earlier.

- What? One day earlier? - Yes.

- Tae-il! - Huh?

Did you turn over a new leaf as a good student?

What's up, girls?

- Why, you're not happy to see us? - This is embarrassing.

Don't be.

- Even Lincoln had a humble beginning. - What brings you here?

- We're your customers today. - Is it?

Welcome, ladies.

We need wallpaper. We want to buy from here.

- Can I have 20 sheets? - 20?

Hey, Tae-il. Give her a good deal.

- Of course. - Thank you, sir.

Ladies, just a moment.

- Hurry. - Yes.

Check this out.

Look here.

Wow...

Mr. Jang requested this song for Seon-ok.

I saw with my own eyes Tae-il studying while working.

He's studying harder than you. You'll see that he and Jeong-ah come out of the library.

Isn't it strange, though? How can he change so much?

May be he wants to get married?

How can a student get married?

You guys should change your bias against him.

Right. We were to blame, too.

We over-reacted and got too rough.

Since when did you become so high-minded?

You guys never embraced Tae-il as a friend.

Have you tried to understand and heal his pain?

We only thought about ourselves.

But I heard Hong-il and he will have a motorcycle match.

I will persuade Hong-il to lose on purpose.

I want Tae-il to taste the victory of winning something fairly.

Then, he may find his pure, original self again.

- But then it may backfire. - Leave it to me. I'm confident.

This is our secret. I trust your friendship.

Listen up. This is not about winning or losing.

This is to cement our friendship. Keep that in mind.

- To cement our friendship? - Right!

- Yes! - Yes!

Huh?

Let's go.

He's coming.

Hong-il. You've done well.

Great.

What happened to Tae-il?

There he comes!

Tae-il!

You've done well.

Hong-il. I lost.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to win but ended up winning.

I didn't go easy on you.

You clearly won.

Good job.

Here, take this.

It's a symbol of friendship from me and Jeong-ah.

Me, you, Jeong-ah and everyone's friendship.

Go on and take it.

Thank you so much.

Don't get too comfortable. I will challenge you on the final exams.

Sure. You have a strong will.

You have what it takes to not only beat me but come top in the class.

No problem. Jeong-ah will be my tutor.

What?

If I beat you on the finals, will you join our boxing team?

We will welcome you genuinely.

Tae-il. I was surprised. You were so good on the bike.

- When did you learn? - When I was working at a repair shop.

Tae-il...

- Close your eyes. - Why?

- Just do it. - Okay.

Now, open your eyes.

It's your medal.

It means that I'm really really sorry.

Let's never say sorry to each other from now on.

We need to get over this scar.

I promise I won't, if you can forget that scar with this medal.

Here.
