[Cheer Up]

[This is a work of fiction. The characters, places, agencies, events, groups, and settings are fictitious.]

[A price you won't believe!] What you all have been waiting for...

a trip to Jeju has finally arrived.

Three nights at a hotel and a round-trip flight.

A 14-course pass of Jeju's core tour sites.

- And Chinese cuisine- - Stop!

Wait, hey. Wait, h-hey-

I can't keep my eyes off of you for a moment.

It's a special sale.

If we don't snatch this deal, we can't go for this price,

so give it back before the broadcast ends.

Are we in a situation to go on vacation right now?

Jae Yi's in 12th grade,

and there are tons of things we need to spend on!

We can go on these

when we have the means later.

When?

Life is short.

Waiting for a time when we have the means,

and dying before we get to do anything. That's life.

Aigoo.

I mean...

now really isn't a good time.

Let's go after Jae Yi's exams are over.

All right. You must be tired. Go wash up.

I'm going to leave this here.

What do I need that for?

[Mom's son]

Yeah, what?

Why aren't you picking up Auntie's call?

Auntie said she called?

I must've not heard the phone while arguing with Mom.

Why is your mom so immature?

Aigoo.

Noona, don't be too shocked.

Why?

What is it?

Did you get into trouble again?

Mom...

has breast cancer.

What?

Training schedule adjustment?

But we made this with your schedule in mind.

Did your schedule change?

Well...

I'm planning on increasing my part-time hours.

Is it possible to make some adjustments?

The Yeon-Ho competition is at its last stage,

so I can't only adjust your schedule.

There's no choice, then.

- I understand for now. - Okay.

Do Hae Yi,

get your head in the game!

I'm sorry.

Ten-minute break.

Sam Da.

- Huh? - Is something going on?

- Yeah. - What is it?

What's going on?

Well...

I'll tell you later.

Okay.

It's nothing serious, right?

[Cheers] Ahjussi, you know how you said

you took time off school to earn money

for your father's hospital fees?

I did.

Did it cost that much money?

The cost of surgery,

chemotherapy,

and living expenses during his treatment.

It was quite costly.

And at the time, I was the only one who could earn money.

And the only jobs you could get at that age

were ones you had to put your time into.

Why do you suddenly ask about that?

Nothing! Just.

Welc-

I still have a long way to go before I get off work.

Well...

Surprise!

Today's the 100th-day since we started dating,

so I asked Young Woong sunbae for permission in advance.

Thank you.

[Sirloin Steak, 250 g, 60,000 won] [Tenderloin Steak, 250 g, 70,000 won]

Your 100th day gift.

I couldn't prepare anything.

It's okay.

I just wanted to do this for you.

I know you don't like celebrating anniversaries,

but I wanted to make this day a good memory for you.

Thank you.

Then I'll buy the meal.

No, I did it because I wanted to.

- Then I- - Why do you do everything by yourself?

Let me do something for you, too.

Let me buy the meal.

That will make me feel more comfortable.

Gosh...

Thank you for the food.

It's delicious!

Eat up.

- It's so delicious. - I like it, too.

I'm going to the restroom.

Keep eating.

I'll pay in advance.

The lady already paid for your table.

To tell you about myself...

You're home?

What about dinner?

I ate.

Good.

It's okay.

It's going to be okay.

We can just get rid of the disease.

Gosh,

you're right.

We can just treat it.

Don't worry, okay?

Okay?

Hey, you...

It's okay.

Geez.

You think I'm going to die?

Don't be in pain.

Hey,

it doesn't hurt. Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Mom...

It's okay.

has cancer.

Do you know my first thought when I heard she had cancer?

"What do we do about the cost of surgery?

What about living expenses?"

And then I suddenly realized.

Right...

Mom is this sick, and I'm sitting here worried about money.

When Mom is sick...

I didn't like myself for feeling that way.

To be honest, I didn't like Mom for putting me in this situation, either.

It must've been hard on you.

I didn't even know that.

Anniversaries and all that...

like you said,

they're supposed to be happy, right?

But you were walking on eggshells the entire day that day.

No, it wasn't like that. I was...

just worried because you didn't look too good.

Holding back things you want to do,

and continuing to be wary of me.

It'll only get worse from here.

And we'll only get sorrier...

and more unmanageable and difficult.

I never thought that.

- If it's because of that- - It's difficult for me.

Surgery costs and living expenses...

I need to earn an additional 2 million won per month.

Then I'll have less time.

Even now, we can only briefly see each other at night

because I'm busy with work.

I don't like myself who can't do anything for you,

but...

watching you suffer and be wary while giving your all to me is difficult, too.

I'm sorry...

I'm really, really sorry,

but let's stop here.

I can't afford to.

I don't have the confidence, Oppa.

Hae Yi...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Oppa.

[Cheer Up - Episode 15]

Hae Yi...

One would think

you got dumped or something.

Is it that obvious?

You've been dumped by Hae Yi?

Sunbae, you have a lot of money, right?

Please lend me some money.

Why? Did Hae Yi dump you because you have no money?

The girl really does like money.

I guess everything will add up to about 20 million?

Please lend me the money.

Gosh, just lend it to me!

Did you really get dumped because you don't have money?

I don't know, either.

Oh, my gosh.

What am I doing with a drunk kid?

She's quitting?

Why would Hae Yi quit all of a sudden?

It's a personal matter.

It just ended up like this.

What's the personal matter?

Well...

Hae Yi's mom is a bit sick.

I heard Hae Yi's mom is sick.

That's right.

God is so cruel, huh?

Raising two kids on her own must've been a meager life.

How could he add this to her plate?

Speaking of...

can't we help them?

Seon Ho,

money matters aren't so...

simply emotional as kids think they are.

So the discussion itself could be overstepping boundaries.

Is that so?

Aigoo.

What are we going to do about my baby's

soft-heartedness?

♫ We might be quite clumsy when we feel the rhythm ♫

Huh?

♫ It will be our first and last love ♫

Is kiss a good thing?

Do you want to try it?

What is it?

Oh, well...

this suddenly started playing.

What is this?

There's somewhere we need to go.

Go where?

Our final trip.

Let's go.

I've thought about it.

How you asked to break up.

I don't think it's right to just break up like this,

but then again, to hold onto you

will make it more difficult for you.

I didn't know what I should do.

So how about...

we observe the situation while taking a break?

- Huh? - So...

it's like taking a resting period.

A resting period?

Yeah.

What do you...

Just like taking a leave from school,

we'd just be taking a break from dating. Not ending it.

I think...

that sounds a bit weird...

You never know.

Instead of making it more difficult for you by staying by your side,

there might come a day when it'd be helpful.

Let's take a brief break and see how things go.

And if you still feel the same,

then I'll stop, too.

I had a lot of fun meeting you.

You did?

Thanks.

I was happy thanks to you.

But why do you speak in the past tense?

We have a bright future waiting ahead of us.

I mean, you said it was our final trip.

Our final trip...

as lovers.

Ji Young,

will you marry me?

Meeting you has made me

very happy.

I feel joyful,

and sad...

I'm overflowing with all sorts of emotions.

I feel alive.

That's why...

I never want to let you go.

I feel the same way,

but how can I accept this?

I'm not saying we need to marry immediately.

I just ask...

you to accept this as a grounds...

for us to trust each other

and do our best.

And when the right time comes,

this ring will play its essential role.

But...

We took a long and roundabout path.

Let's not give up on this love

we went through a great ordeal for.

It fits perfectly.

I can't take it off now.

Thank you for saying you'll do your best with me.

We broke up.

Why did you break up?

It just ended up like that.

Because of me?

Why would we break up because of you?

You're not someone with that much influence.

If I take a leave of absence, it'll be hard to see him.

So I asked him to break up.

Hey,

why would you take a leave of absence?

Even if we somehow attain the money for surgery,

you have to receive chemotherapy, too.

Someone needs to earn living expenses.

I decided to work full-time instead of part-time.

Don't worry.

You worked so hard to get into this college.

Why would you take a leave of absence for this?

Did I say I'm going to quit school?

I'm just taking a brief break.

Don't worry.

Stop the nonsense and continue going to school.

- I'll do whatever it takes to earn a living- - Forget it!

You just think about getting better.

I'll take care of things.

You're now only 20 years old.

Why should you take care of these things? Huh?

Why must you carry the weight of all this? Why?

What else can we do?

There's no other way.

I'll find it...

A way.

Okay?

I won't become baggage to you two.

All right?

Go back to school.

Okay?

[Yonhee University Hospital]

Who are you?

Soo Il!

[Unknown Caller]

Hello?

This is Soo Il.

[Student Support Department]

[Application for Leave of Absence]

We've confirmed the documentation, so you'll be able to take a leave.

Okay, thank you.

If you don't play, you lose. Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Oh, no! Again, again, again.

- One more time. - Properly.

If you don't play, you lose. Rock, paper, scissors!

Jin Il sunbae did?

I can't believe Jin Il did that.

He's been caught by the police?

He's still...

on the run.

The last sighting of him was at an express bus terminal.

They think he's headed to the countryside somewhere.

But just in case, if you come across Jin Il,

report him to the police upon sighting.

Shouldn't we let Hae Yi know?

Since Jin Il sunbae kept targeting Hae Yi-

Sunbae, my ass. That crazy psychopath bastard.

Gosh, it's difficult enough for Hae Yi. Why is he adding to her trouble?

I'll talk to Hae Yi.

The police said they'll keep watch to see if Jin Il appears near Hae Yi,

so don't worry too much.

You must be really shocked.

But...

why would Jin Il sunbae do that to me?

Regardless of what his reason was,

his actions can't be forgiven anyway.

From now on, until Jin Il is caught,

the kids will take turns picking you up after work.

What?

Everyone must be worried about you.

That goes for me, too.

I'm okay, though.

It's just for now.

So let's just do that.

Okay.

Oh, and...

this.

What is this?

Did you make this yourself?

Yeah.

Can't I do this much as captain?

You made me kimbap as captain?

Yeah, yeah, well...

it's reasonable for me to take care of the members' snacks.

I can't discriminate against an ex-member, can I?

Thanks.

- Well, then, I guess it's okay. - Let's go together. Good, good.

It's like a double date.

- What are you saying? - Not bad.

Totally.

Do you like stir-fried tripe?

Yeah, I do.

- We're going to get some stir-fried tripe. - Really?

- Let Hyuk Joon know. - Okay, I'll let him know.

- Seon Ja, hi. - Hi.

Okay, then. I'll contact you guys later.

- Later? - Later.

What? Why?

I'll walk you home.

You? Walk me?

Why?

Well, I have to...

I mean, it's on the way-

Must I accompany you if it's on your way?

Well, not really.

Yeah, that's right. Not really.

And it seems like there are tons of people you could go with.

Sam Da! I'm here!

It seems you're disappointed I'm here instead of Captain.

No, not at all.

Captain has a meeting, so I came.

Today, I'm the guardian of your return home!

Let us go.

I don't think you're that much of a help...

How's it going with Kim Min Jae these days?

Hey, don't even bring up that punk's name.

He turns out to be a total B.O.G.

B.O.G?

Bastard Obsessed with Girls.

Kim Min Jae?

That's far-fetched.

Hey, what would you know?

What would a girl taking a break from her relationship know about anything?

Hey, you call it "taking a break," but watching the two of you...

Oh, gosh...

We're not taking a break.

Captain just put a name to it.

We broke up.

Sam Da,

are you okay?

What's there not to be okay about?

I must be okay.

To be honest,

sometimes I think you're incredible.

I guess...

you're like an adult?

But...

let's not become adults too quickly.

Then you'll be too...

lonely.

You should act like a brat in front of me!

And let's walk in step.

Well...

It's tough.

Honestly,

I'm having a hard time these days.

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

Of course.

It'll be okay.

[Theia One-day Pub]

This stuff is light work.

- Aigoo. - What are you huffing over?

Hurry up!

Hurry up and move!

There's more to come, right?

Hey...

do you want to get popped like that?

No, no, no.

Now, let's make haste, everyone.

- Hurry up. - Hurry, hurry.

Of course, Tae Cho Hee is fearless.

I think this clearly made a change of vibe.

I think everyone needed something else to focus on.

Yeah. So, Jin Il hasn't been caught yet?

That punk has some talent.

Evading South Korea's police for this long.

Where the heck is he hiding?

[2019 Theia One-day Pub Event Planner]

[2019 Theia One-day Pub Event Planner]

[I'm cheering for you to be plastered.]

[Let's not procrastinate today's drink to tomorrow.]

[Theia One-day Pub]

[Menu]

One more order, then one bottle of soju on the house!

With passion!

Who would've ever thought Jin Seon Ho...

would be serving beer?

♫ Hey ya! Along with strong waves ♫

♫ Hey ya, even in pain ♫

Hey-

Sunbae?

- Sunbae! - Y-Yes.

- What are you doing? - O-Oh, it's finished.

♫ Hey ya, the sun will rise! ♫

- With passion. - With passion, yes.

Here's your beer!

Yes!

- Come here. Come. - You're here?

- What do you want to eat? - I want rolled omelet.

Omelet?

Are you kidding me?

[Stir-fried tripe: 18,000 won] Order stir-fried tripe. It's the most expensive one.

I can't eat tripe, though.

- Don't threaten people. - Okay.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

Eat what you want to eat.

Then I'll have rolled omelet.

One rolled omelet.

I'll have canned peaches.

I'll bring them over right away.

Thank you.

- Sure. - Hey...

are you really not going to go on a blind date?

I won't!

I'm not looking to date for a while.

For a while?

You've never dated anyone before.

Hey, be quiet!

I'm planning to be single for about two years going forward.

Aigoo, Yong Il...

you'll be glad if it's two years.

What if you end up single for 20 years?

Maybe 30 years, even?

I'll have them ready for you.

Will it really become 20 years?

Cheers!

Whoa... you made it!

- You're here? - We're so busy.

Today's group reservation was Theia One-day Pub?

Sam Da, the dishes piled up a lot.

Hurry and move.

Oh, you need to restock the glasses, too.

Oh, okay.

So what happened is that...

It's okay. I came to work anyway.

Hi, Hae Yi.

- Hello. - Hae Yi, you're here?

Yes.

- Hello. - Hey.

You made it.

Please take care of this, too.

Sure.

I'm getting paid to do this work.

I need to do it. Of course.

[Fact Bomber] Hosting a Cheer Squad event at your work...

- is a little too much, right? - No.

It doesn't bother me at all.

It's not like you guys can put off what you need to do just because I'm not there.

But when was this decided?

I thought things like this won't happen because of the mood lately.

We need to get sponsorships from the sunbaes.

Why?

Do you lack funds?

Right, it's none of my business.

Aigoo, there's no end to doing this.

I just said that.

Don't mind me because this is the duty of a part-timer.

While we're on the topic...

here are some more.

I see.

You really don't mind me at all, do you?

I'll bring some more.

There, there.

I'm going to say it.

I'm really going to say it all.

Attention!

Park Yoon Ho sunbaenim here will have his company

provide us with sports drinks...

for the Yeon-Ho competition!

One, two, go!

Sunbaenim!

- One, two, go! - Sunbaenim!

- Sunbaenim, one, two, go! - Hey, hey, hey!

All of you did great work.

- Theia! - Theia!

This is great.

I'm learning a lot, sir.

Aigoo, okay, okay.

[Joo Seon]

She can just come and talk. Why is she calling?

Why?

Sam Da, I'm in the restroom.

Please bring me toilet paper.

Sam Da, thank you.

If it weren't for you...

Must I bring you toilet paper in the middle of all this?

Where did everyone go?

What is Cheer Squad to me?

I think it's a playground where everyone plays together.

The energy of my life?

It's the happiest dream and...

Youth or fighting?

The best challenge I ever took

which I don't regret at all.

A goal during my college life?

It's family.

Something hot coming up from a corner of your heart.

You know, like...

a dragon burp? It doesn't sound right, does it?

Work that I want to wrap up nicely this year.

A lucky fortune that I unintentionally happened to earn.

Who is Do Hae Yi to me?

A brave and cute friend.

She's very cheerful,

laughs a lot and brave. That's why...

I want to be like her.

A friend who feels like a grown-up.

I'm thankful to Hae Yi for some things...

and sorry for some things as well.

It's really cool to see how she works hard

and with a positive outlook.

The first woman I have a crush on.

Even if...

she doesn't say anything fancy,

I get comforted greatly just by being next to her.

A strong person.

What do you want to tell Hae Yi?

Hae Yi!

You're cool.

Enjoy the youth in your 20s...

energetically. Fighting!

I'm sure being in the Cheer Squad is tough work,

but let's persevere and

blast away all the stages next year with me.

I also wrote this on the rolling paper, but

they say flowers bloom even after a typhoon.

I hope you'll bloom beautifully

regardless of all the ordeals as well, Hae Yi.

Hae Yi, regardless of the path you choose to walk,

I'll be next to you without changing.

So I hope you'll...

tell me when you're having a hard time, whatever it is.

I'll be next to you every day.

I love you.

I just wish you would keep smiling, Hae Yi.

Because even just a single creamed bread made you happy.

Laughing over the smallest things, like always...

I hope that's how you'll live.

Hae Yi, you'll be happy...

going forward.

Hey, Sam Da!

Look here.

Our long-awaited 20s.

How do you feel about starting your 20s?

I can clearly see the fun, wild days ahead and

you're a really great kid for having experienced all that.

What's this?

Is it a letter you're sending to the future?

I feel like it'll be so much fun, but how are you?

Aren't you crying by any chance?

Do Hae Yi, cheer up!

We'll always be with you!

Hae Yi, cheer up.

♫ The blue, blue sky ♫

♫ The blooming youth ♫

♫ And the burgeoning youthfulness ♫

♫ The blue, blue sky ♫

♫ The blooming youth ♫

♫ And the burgeoning youthfulness ♫

♫ Our ♫ We!

♫ Shouts ♫ Shout!

♫ Become as one ♫ Become as one!

♫ Feel it ringing in your heart ♫

♫ The blue, blue sky ♫

♫ The blooming youth ♫

♫ And the burgeoning youthfulness ♫

♫ The blue, blue sky ♫

♫ The blooming youth ♫

♫ And the burgeoning youthfulness ♫

♫ The burgeoning youthfulness ♫

When did you prepare this?

Come here.

Surprise!

Come on...

It's the profit from today's one-day pub.

Everyone wanted to help out...

a little bit with your mom's hospital fee.

So I put a little more in there with what they earned.

No, no. It's okay.

Take it.

You should accept these things.

If someone wants to help you, you accept.

Then you repay them later.

You can just live like that.

It's okay to do that. We all...

live our lives like that.

Still, only to be taking like this...

This is what I learned from life.

If you were given this much,

then you want to pay back this much. Just like that...

life doesn't let you live so that

the calculations are always even like that.

It's okay even if you only receive, Hae Yi.

Just say thank you and accept.

Then later, when you...

are able to give back,

give a lot to other people.

You do that.

Thank you.

Gosh, I'm too much of a grownup today.

You must've been shocked by my maturity again, weren't you?

It wasn't that much.

It wasn't that much?

Yes.

Aigoo...

I was going to figure things out alone...

but I get help like this.

I'm glad it was at least

a bit of help.

Don't you even resent me, Oppa?

I asked to break up because of my circumstances.

You had asked me at Busan back then...

if I wasn't lonely by myself.

Were you lonely?

I was less lonely because I had Jae Yi,

but you were all alone.

So I thought you might've been lonely.

It was okay.

I really thought it was okay back then.

Because I didn't know what it felt like to be with someone. But...

after meeting you, Hae Yi,

and knowing what it feels

like to be with someone, I had this thought.

The person I am now...

might have found those times lonely.

So then...

Hae Yi must be the same, too.

That's why I wanted to be by your side.

So you can lean on if you need a place to lean on.

So you won't be lonely.

Please let me be with you.

Wouldn't it be better if two people went through it together?

♫ Laugh ♫

♫ And cry ♫

Thank you.

♫ Even if it's the only use ♫

[I'm... your fogey...]

♫ Even if someone laughs at it ♫

♫ I love my present ♫

What's this?

I had it on me the entire day.

Gosh...

it's annoyingly absurd.

I'm getting annoyed because it's absurd!

♫ I love my present ♫

Gosh...

Of course.

I should do it together with Sam Da.

That's true.

What's up?

I'll carry it for you.

I'll carry it!

Are you mad at me by any chance?

No. Why would I be?

You seem mad.

I'm not at all.

Why would I get mad at you?

There's nothing between us.

I'll take you home later.

I have a business near your house.

Why do you keep having a business near there?

Did you hide some gold bars in front of my house or something?

No, thank you.

It's dangerous...

with the Jin Il sunbae thing, too.

By chance, are you...

doing this because you're worried about me?

Yes.

Why do you worry about me?

I mean...

it's not like I'm the only woman in the Cheer Squad.

Why do you worry specifically about just me?

Because...

I like you, Seon Ja.

♫ Take a look around, the gift that is this moment ♫

♫ Your eyes will shine when we meet again ♫

♫ Even when you cry from being exhausted from life ♫

♫ Take a look around, the dream that is this moment ♫

You've actually dated before, haven't you?

You're such a player.

What?

I'll really won't like it if you go somewhere

and flirt like that, you hear?

Only flirt with me from now on.

You understand?

O-Okay.

Let's go.

♫ In that movie that time ♫

Then what have we become now?

We're dating. Totally.

♫ Inside the dream that I wanted to forget ♫

♫ I wish for the end of the dark night ♫

Do you want to eat ramen at my house later?

Gosh, if Mrs. Lee Soon Ja wants to treat her son-in-law,

she needs to catch a brood hen, doesn't she?

Did we have hen at my house?

Why?

Oh, nothing. Let's go.

Okay.

Where's Hae Yi?

Hae Yi said she was going to the restroom.

Why?

Well, it's just that...

I saw a suspicious-looking person outside.

It couldn't be Jin Il sunbae, could it?

Hae Yi wasn't in the restroom, though.

Everyone move out!

- Call me right away if you find her. - Yes, okay.

- Go! - Geez...

- Do Hae Yi! - Hae Yi!

Do Hae Yi!

We'll go that way.

Okay.

[Melona]

Yes, Mom.

I'll be late tonight.

Go to sleep first.

Okay.

Do Hae Yi...

Hae Yi!

Do Hae Yi!

Sam Da!

Did something happen to her?

- Hae Yi! - Sam Da...

Do Hae Yi!

She's not on this side.

Let's look around more.

Please...

What the heck?

Why are you doing this?

This is all because of you.

What the heck did I do so wrong?

It ended up like this because you did wrong.

Things came this far because you did wrong.

If we can recruit just Do Hae Yi,

a whole bunch of freshmen

will follow along like a school of fish.

We need to escort her here.

The freshmen pied piper.

If you're selected for the joint cheering match,

a ten percent incentive.

Put it in the contract as a special clause.

I prepared it especially for you.

You need to seriously eat a lot.

It's all because of you.

It's because of you, Do Hae Yi.

It's because of you. It's because of you.

Sunbae, my ass. That crazy psychopath bastard.

Let's help her forget what the psychotic bastard did to her.

This is all because of you.

You're scared, aren't you, Sunbae?

You didn't know things would get this far, either.

So now...

- put that knife down and- - Shut up!

Shut up!

You...

need to die for it to end.

Hae Yi, are you okay?

Hae Yi, run away.

Oppa, are you okay?

No...

No, no, no, no!

No! No...

No...

No, Oppa, stay with me here.

♫ It's quite a beautiful thing ♫

♫ That you and I met ♫

♫ And shared that moment together ♫

Altair.

♫ It's unforgettable ♫

♫ You hugged me warmly, who's worthless ♫

♫ The tears will dry ♫

[Cheer Up]

♫ The wounds will heal ♫

♫ Our memories will fade ♫

♫ Just like the moonlight ♫

Since everyone must've been shocked severely,

the school also agreed to provide maximum care.

I'm glad you didn't get hurt.

That I was able to protect you this time.

Now, now, Cheer Squad!

Let's stand by.

You know, I think I know now why people

do this Cheer Squad thing.
