[boss] Do you like jjajangmyeon that much?

CHAPTER 36: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

-I remember how much you like it. -Yes, boss.

-Is it good? -[chuckling]

[Eui-ju gasps] Mr. Ga! [gasps]

[whimpers] Are you okay?

-[groans] -Oh, no.

Are you okay?

[gasps] I'm sorry. Oh, my, Mr. Ga.

Oh, my goodness, Mr. Ga.

What are these beautiful angels doing here?

[thugs chuckling]

What brings such a divine presence to this humble place?

Did you do that to our boy right there?

-Yeah. [chuckles] -[Eui-ju] Oh, my goodness, Mr. Ga.

[boss chuckling] Well, now.

Guess what, boys.

We have guests in the house.

Don't just sit back there. Bring them some welcome drinks.

Oh, man.

Stay with the kids.

Should we?

-[boss chuckles] -[Eui-ju whimpers]

Good luck.

Did they hit you?

-Mr. Dong-ju-- -Nah, he's all right. Don't worry.

He's going to be okay.

Is this fun for you?

Picking on kids?

[sighs]

-[Gi-jeon] Damn. -[coughs]

[sighs]

-Oh, you little annoying bastards. -Teach him a lesson.

-[blow lands] -[groans]

-Holy-- -What? W-What the hell?

Hey!

[heroic rock music playing]

[thug groans]

Hey!

[sighs]

[thug] That crazy little…

[grunts]

Boys, let's get him!

[grunting]

[yelling]

-Hey! -[grunting]

There you go!

Damn it!

That's right!

What are you doing? [gasps]

[grunts]

Are you okay, man? Yeah, yeah, you're okay.

-[boss] Look at you. -Hold on.

[boss] Hey, hey, hey. Oh, man. Can a teacher be this good at fighting?

-[whimpers] -Teacher…

[boss grunts]

[Eui-ju gasps]

[groans] Damn.

[groaning]

[exclaims]

[panting] Who the hell are you?

Me? A literature teacher.

Whoa, a literature teacher. Damn it!

[shirt ripping]

[dramatic techno music playing]

[gasps]

No, don't. Don't.

[whispering] Here, let's go. Come on.

EPISODE 12

[music fades]

How are you going to fix this?

We'll pretend it never happened. [laughs]

Apologize to the students.

-We're sorry. -We're sorry.

Are you gonna show up again?

-No, sir. -No, sir.

No, we won't.

If I see your faces again,

you'll be dead meat for real.

[sighs]

[boss] Oh, uh, a shaman once told me that

I'd live a long life. [chuckles, sighs]

[comical, awkward music playing]

[groans]

Goodbye then, Teach.

Uh, I mean, Mr. Teacher, sir. [chuckles]

[sighs] Let's go now.

[Da-ju] Let's go.

[groaning]

Oh, fuck!

What the hell's wrong with that guy?

A literature teacher? Huh?

Can a literature teacher do that?

He was actually being serious

when he said we'd be dead if he saw our faces again.

The look in his eyes. I could tell he meant it when he said it.

[Yeong-jae] What? Who are they? What if they kidnapped her?

[Dan-ji] What fancy people? She lives at a shelter.

-[operator] The number you dialed cannot… -Why wouldn't she pick up?

CHAPTER 37: UNMASKED FOR JUSTICE

Why is she not even checking her phone?

[inhales sharply, sighs]

[line ringing]

Geez.

[breathes shakily]

[tender music playing]

Darn you!

Seriously?

I was so worried about you. [whimpers]

It was already scary knowing Ji-a was in danger,

but I couldn't reach you either.

I wondered if you got involved in it, or if something bad was happening.

I got all kinds of ideas.

[whimpers] Geez.

You didn't answer my calls or even check my texts.

None of the girls knew what you were up to.

I was scared to death alone. You know that?

[sobbing]

I have a crush on Math.

[sniffles]

Huh?

I could've just told you that I started to have a crush on Math,

but I couldn't open up to you.

I thought you'd find it stupid because we used to bad-mouth him all the time,

and I was feeling lost myself

with all these emotions.

And then, I just hurt your feelings.

I'm sorry.

What made me sad was knowing that you were keeping a secret from me.

I don't even care if you have a crush on Dong-ju.

But I was just upset because you weren't opening up to me.

You used to share every little detail with me.

Even when you were constipated, I was the first to know.

You come before anyone else to me. You know that.

[sniffles]

So…

If Mr. Dong-ju and I were both drowning, who would you save first?

You used to compete in baby swimming contests.

You're silly.

[chuckles]

Anyway, did something really happen?

You're not gonna believe me even if I tell you.

What is it?

Come on. Tell me.

-At first, all those gangsters… -[chuckles]

-…totally looked down on him. -Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

You know, they were kind of like, "Who's this wimp?"

And then?

But then, he just looked at them ice-cold.

His voice wasn't that gentle voice he usually uses with us.

-Mm-hmm. [giggles] -He looked at them and said,

"Is it fun picking on kids?"

[gasps] Oh, man.

I got goose bumps all over, all over!

Then he just started beating them up

with a front kick, and a back kick and a flying kick!

He grabbed them by the collar and threw punches like…

like a movie. Bam! Bam!

He beat every one of them. There wasn't even one standing.

-And then… -Uh-huh?

And then… his shirt got ripped.

It got ripped?

[gasps] You know the Medusa, right?

It was right there with all the snakes coiled up.

The whole image, the whole thing. You know what I'm saying?

[gasps] And there's also this massive dragon-like creature all the way across.

It was huge!

Dong-ju…

uh…

has a tattoo? [gasps]

Yeah.

And also, it looked pretty old with the ink a bit faded,

but it was definitely Medusa.

Uh, and it seemed like it stretched all the way from the shoulder to the back,

but I didn't get to see his back.

Huh. Then Dong-ju's…

[inhales sharply]

I think maybe… I think that he used to be a gangster.

[amusing music playing]

A-Are you okay?

You're saying Dong-ju used to be a gangster?

[softly] I shouldn't have told her.

-[Woo-su groans] Wait, wait! -[Gi-jeon] I didn't even touch you yet.

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Just wait.

-Brace yourself. -[groaning]

-Hold still. -Put some on his lips too.

-Hold still. -[Woo-su whining]

-I'm almost done. -Stop, stop. It hurts. [groans]

-I'll put a bandage on later. -It hurts.

This is ridiculous. Ugh. He's driving me insane, seriously.

Let me see your hands.

Geez. Your hands are a total mess.

-This part is okay at least. -[Dong-ju sighs]

[groans]

[Gi-jeon] Are you all right?

I was never going to get into a fight again.

But this happened.

[sighs]

And in front of my students too.

[inhales sharply]

-[sighs] -It was inevitable though.

They even saw my tattoo.

[groans] What do I do now?

[sighs]

[sighs]

Remember?

In 11th grade,

when you had that motorcycle accident, and I took you to the hospital.

When you woke up you asked,

"Was it you?" And threw a punch at me.

-[chuckles] Geez. -[Woo-su chuckles]

I thought you were the one who rammed into me.

[chuckles]

You brought me that porridge back then, remember?

It was so weird though.

Why would this guy buy me this stuff, even after I hit him for nothing?

[Gi-jeon] It was mid-winter.

And you were only wearing slippers.

And you looked younger than me.

I just assumed you were struggling. That's why.

It was the first time anyone had ever been kind to me for nothing.

It made me feel weird.

I thought I'll end up being a real jerk if I keep living like this.

Will I ever be able to be someone like him?

If I hadn't met you back then, I'd probably be living the same life.

[tender music playing]

[Gi-jeon] Back then,

I just thought you were crazy.

[inhales sharply]

But somehow, I knew I'd see you again.

[stammers] How?

I don't know.

A hunch.

Then I saw this egghead

-during our teacher training orientation. -[chuckles]

I was so glad to see you. Weren't you glad as well?

More or less. He had a pretty dumb look on his face.

-Oh, come on. -You got that right.

-You're right. He still does. -[Gi-jeon] Whatever.

Well…

Past or present, it doesn't really matter

which version of you it is, you're still you.

You just have to live with it.

I must say, Dong-ju is really something.

A street fighter turned over a new leaf

and studied to join our college of education in two years?

-That's nearly impossible. -Ridiculous.

-Mmm. -He was more than capable, but…

the circumstances just didn't favor him.

And where was that? Remember?

When Dong-ju showed his real skills?

-When… When was that? -The store.

-That's right! -[chuckles]

It was the first time since the convenience store, right?

-[chuckles] -[Dong-ju] Come on.

-I told you not to bring that up. -[Da-ju] The convenience store.

We were all wasted, walking toward the convenience store like zombies

to get a cup of noodles.

When those thugs started picking on that girl that was working there.

[keyboard clacking]

Is this fun for you?

Picking on kids?

-[gasps] -[grunting]

[intense heroic music playing]

Me? A literature teacher.

[music fades]

[gasps, sighs]

I had no idea Mr. Yoon could have a secret like that.

He usually hides his true self, but…

But if he has to protect someone, he fights.

[sighing]

It's coming. It's coming. I'm feeling inspired.

[tense Western music playing]

WE WERE FRIENDS, EPISODE 8

Forget it. So, where is that place?

Their food is so good and creamy.

[rewinding sounds]

Let's go.

Who the hell are you?

Fists aren't meant for hurting people.

They're meant for protecting them. Haven't you learned?

Damn! So we're playing teacher, are we?

-You little-- -[grunting]

[blows landing]

[shrieks]

[thugs coughing]

If I see your faces again,

you're dead meat for real.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go now. Come on.

[grunting]

I was gonna help you,

but it seemed like you were handling it just fine.

"If I see your faces again,

you're dead meat for real."

[sighs]

Oh, man.

He's so cool. So cool.

[chuckles]

[clicks tongue, sighs]

CHAPTER 38: SIR! I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!

[students chattering]

Hi.

What's gotten into her?

Beats me.

-She's scaring me. -[chuckles]

[class] Hello.

-Mr. Ga, your face. -What happened?

-Mr. Ga, are you okay? -Did you fight?

What's going on?

-Are you okay? -Come on, Mr. Ga, tell us what happened.

Mr. Ga! Mr. Ga, did you get into a fight?

-Tell us. -[banging on podium]

Quiet.

I'm okay, so don't worry.

-Aw. Really? -You don't look okay.

-It's time for attendance. -[clamoring continues]

-Jeon Ji-min. -Here.

-Oh Ji-ho. -Here.

-It's worse than I thought it'd be. -[Woo-su] Kim Ga-yeong.

-[Ga-yeong] Here. -It looks better than yesterday.

-Oh, you guys… -[Woo-su] Hong Su-min.

You're friends again?

-[Woo-su] Jeon Chae-won. -[chuckles softly]

-Well, when weren't we? -Im Su-yeon.

-Here. -[chuckles softly]

-Lee Eun-ji. -Here.

-Choi Hye-jeong. -Here.

Good luck with your class today. Bye.

[class] Thank you.

[chattering]

Why is he always like that?

Mr. Ga!

I'm sorry. Because of me, you…

Are you okay?

Yes.

That's good. Pay attention in class.

[gentle music playing]

Okay.

Hmm?

Hello.

-Hi. -Hello.

[music fades]

Are you okay?

I am. I just have to reconsider.

But look… [stammering] …he's seriously different now.

I mean that.

I really think Mr. Yoon is a good man now, actually.

Never mind. My opinion doesn't matter.

Your feelings are more important. [sighs]

If you're over him, that's perfectly fine too.

I understand.

Who said I was over him?

Isn't that what you meant?

No. It's my turn now.

From here on out, it's on me.

No matter what hits us, I'll keep Dong-ju safe.

And out of trouble.

[cheerful music playing]

Go-ya.

To do that, I need to get into a good college.

And build a successful life.

I need to be someone Dong-ju can truly rely on.

Actually, if I'm going to protect Dong-ju, I'm going to have to step it up.

The CSAT.

I have to get a good CSAT score so I'll have more college options.

[sighs]

You know what?

This must be why I've been single since birth.

Hmm?

All I want is for that person…

I mean, I just want my crush to like me back, that's all I want.

I want him to fall for me and be head over heels for me

even if I don't do anything in particular.

[sighs]

But all I do is whine like a child

and get jealous too,

instead of trying to become someone attractive first.

You're already gorgeous, okay?

[upbeat K-pop song playing]

Okay?

[inhales deeply, sighs]

What do you think I should do?

-[sighs] -[sighs]

Just tell him.

He might leave for the States.

-Tell him? -Mm-hmm.

[sighs] I don't know. How do you do that?

Okay. Look into his eyes.

To show you mean it.

You have to make eye contact

and stare right at him…

[amusing music playing]

…for three seconds.

Ow.

-[groans] Oh, come on. -[chuckles]

How am I supposed to do that?

Do you want to tell him how you feel or not?

[sighs, sniffles]

I do want to.

Then listen to me. Three seconds.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Look into his eyes for three seconds and say, "I like you."

That's all you need to do.

Even if it's someone you have zero feelings for,

do you know what happens when you hear that?

It makes you waver. Well, it really shakes you.

-Waver? -Mm-hmm.

He'll waver. For sure.

That's the way it is for men.

First snow, remember? Always goes straight ahead.

Okay. Straight ahead.

Don't waste your time waiting and hesitating.

Take no detours, okay?

Okay. Then where do you think I should do it?

You have an after-school class today. After that!

Today?

Today… [inhales sharply]

MURIM GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

So, the function graph would be organized like this, right?

-What should I say first? -The x-coordinates of

the intersections between y equals f(x)

-and y equals k to have one positive… -Mr. Ga, I…

…and two negative values, the range for k

-must be between minus eight to zero. -The truth is, I have…

Once you plot it, it becomes intuitively clear, okay?

-Let's stop here today. Good job. -[whimpers]

[class] Thank you.

Huh? What the…

It's over already?

[student] Good-bye.

[groans, inhales shakily]

Okay, let's wait until all the girls leave first.

[groans, breathes shakily]

You leaving?

I am. I'm leaving.

Mr. Ga!

[hopeful music playing]

[breathing shakily] Now is the time. It has to be now.

You got…

your new glasses. [chuckles]

[inhales deeply, shudders] Oh, no. No.

[comical music playing]

[groans]

[sighs]

Come on. You can do it, Eui-ju!

Wait!

[whimpering]

No, it has to be today.

Either I do it today or I'm never gonna do it.

Mr. Ga! Mr. Ga. Wait, Mr. Ga.

Sir, I have something to tell you! Wait just a moment.

Wait, Mr. Ga. [panting] Hold on.

[panting]

[pants] Just a second.

What is it, huh?

I…

I…

[hopeful, tender music playing]

I…

Yeo Eui-ju, follow me.

Why is Math so strict?

[Eui-ju] He's just doing it his way, isn't he? That might actually be fair.

[Ha-su] There's this web novel with characters

who are almost identical to our Korean lit, Math, PE,

and Japanese language teachers.

[groans] I'm dying to know who the writer is.

You're done for.

I think you should know who it is.

-It's Yeo Eui-ju. -What are you talking about?

-[Go-ya] Is it you? -Actually…

-Go-ya, what happened is-- -This is nuts.

[Young-hee] You'll be expelled.

[Eui-ju] Just act like you don't know, okay?

I don't want you getting in trouble because of me.

Hello, everyone. This is Imuk.
