"Mr Lim"

Choi Jeongu.

Hey, Mr Lim. How have you been?

I got your text message.

I was just thinking of you while backing up the photos.

How funny.

How have you been?

Same old, same old.

Business is slow, so it's tough.

Are you free tomorrow?

I got to go to work.

A part-time teacher like me doesn't get paid-leaves.

Once I get certified, I'm going to quit.

The grandpa from the store passed away.

The memorial is Wednesday morning.

We should go.

I'm calling everyone I can.

Okay.

I'll talk to my boss and try to change my schedule.

Okay.

Bye.

The audience?

Do you want me to help you?

I'll help you with your song.

I will.

You know...

Huh?

Jeongu, can I request a song?

Sure, tell me whatever you want.

Something to cheer me up.

I want you to sing something that would cheer me up.

Sure, I will.

-Hey! -Yes?

Is Yeokho really coming?

Definitely. He won't fight you back, today.

Really?

So the mighty Yeokho will just stand still?

Well, actually, it's because...

...Yeokho is preparing to become a pro boxer.

Boxing? Really?

The pro test.

That's why he can't fight you.

He'll get expelled if he fights.

Excuse me.

Keep your big fat mouth shut.

Why are you doing this? This isn't right.

Then, you'll just have to help us.

-Right? -Yes, sir.

Yeongbok.

Hey, long time no see.

You've been hiding from us.

Here's your brother's comic book.

And this is the rental fee.

You said your brothers like tteokbokki.

What the heck?

This is no way to treat guests.

Brown Bear.

I think you owe us something, too.

That was so much fun.

I didn't like school much since I started high school.

But it's been fun lately since you transferred to this school.

Stop kissing up just because I paid for the karaoke.

No, I really mean it.

A lot has changed since you came.

The older students and the class president, too.

You're a hero.

Namil High School's hero.

Hero?

♪ I live to look good, I die...

Stop that.

What's going on?

Brown Bear really has changed.

Know your place!

An athlete, my foot!

You thought we'd let you off so easy?

This is for all the things that you've done to us.

Hey!

Brown Bear?

Why is he just taking it?

I don't know.

Let's not get involved, and just call the police.

Wait.

Why?

Are you okay? Sorry.

Your test to go pro is coming up. Take it easy.

Your body is your life. Relax.

I think I should help him.

What? Why? Deokwon!

Stop it!

Who is this runt?

You jerk.

Wonil, come over here.

What are you doing?

We just came to get the comic book!

Just sit back and enjoy the show.

What the heck are you thinking?

Yeokho's been good to us. What's wrong with you?

Tell me!

You jerk. This is about Ayeong, isn't it?

Because she's dating that transfer student.

You shouldn't take it out on Yeokho!

Have you lost your mind?

You like being his dog?

Tell me, you jerk!

Stupid jerk.

What the heck?

You said your brothers like tteokbokki.

Hey, Wonil.

Stop it, you jerk!

Have you lost your mind?

Hey, stop it, all of you!

Why are you ganging up on him?

I know it's hard to get into that prep school.

But look into it for me.

Yeah, that concerns me more.

Ayeong is first here, but this isn't Seoul.

For a moment, I was jealous of Brown Bear.

No.

He looked cool.

Stop!

That hurts!

Look who's here.

Did you come here to help Brown Bear?

Who do you think you are to come here?

What are you doing?

Get up and help him.

If he gets hurt, Ayeong will be heartbroken.

What? You didn't know?

Wow.

Sure, they pretend not to know each other at school.

But do you know what's going on between your girl and him?

What are you going to do with that?

Yeokho! Are you okay?

Stop it already!

Stop.

Why are you looking at each other?

What are you going to do?

Don't butt in and get lost, jerk.

My glasses are all bent out of shape.

Those punks.

Hey, Dog.

Yes?

Why were you here?

I was making a delivery and saw you.

So you decided to jump in?

You arrogant punk.

What about your friend?

Stop acting cute.

Brat.

Gosh, I'm bleeding.

Yeokho, should we sue them?

You know, Yeokho isn't a bad guy.

You're a hero.

Namil High School's hero.

Hey, Deokwon. What happened to your face?

Did Yeongbok do this?

No, I fell while riding my bike.

That's clearly a lie.

Jeongu, look at his face.

Yeongbok did it.

That jerk, Yeongbok.

Let's teach him a lesson!

What lesson? I have big news.

Move in.

Move in.

Brown Bear and the Rainbow Gang fought

on Saturday.

Did some of the Rainbow members die?

No, they say Brown Bear had his tail handed to them.

-Really? -Yeah.

But look at his face.

What happened to you?

Deokwon, about Saturday...

That's right. I have to go to the teacher's office.

Who fights better, Yeongbok or Brown Bear?

Brown Bear, of course.

It's a ginger-gardenia pack. It's good for bruises.

Good morning!

Can't walk faster?

Here.

It's for your bruises.

Don't be moved. It's not from me. It's from Yeokho.

-And... -Oh, yeah. I'll run to the snack-bar.

Forget it! What do you take me for?

Go inside.

Here he comes.

The selfish coward.

What's with these flies?

What's going on? Did something happen?

I have no idea.

Hey.

We meet again.

I applaud your courage.

But why must I tell you that?

Since you brought it up...

...you should finish it.

You said not to butt in and get lost, so I did.

Hey.

Are you naive or just stupid?

Hey, runt.

You just ran away because you got scared.

Ask her yourself,

what her relationship is with Lee Yeokho.

You are not just toying with me, are you?

Why you little punk...

Just hit me. Let's get expelled together.

Shut it.

About what? Getting expelled? Or Ayeong?

That is so weird.

Whenever I mention Ayeong...

Hey, Wonil.

I don't care that you sold me out to the Rainbow Gang.

But if you say her name again, I'll kill you for real.

This is your lucky day.

Hey, you know...

You came here again?

Looking at that again?

Let's take a walk.

Is Wonil...

...still bothering you?

What? No.

Why?

Nothing.

Is something bothering you?

The thing I told you last time.

I thought it would be after the semester ended...

...but I was wrong.

Yeah.

Mom says...

...it's for my education.

But I think it's too hard for my family...

...to live here without my brother.

Has it been a year already?

Yes.

I have the right to know.

I'm not sure if you deserve to know.

What about you? What right do you have?

Are you Ayeong's brother or something?

Choi Jeongu.

If you're asking as her boyfriend,

don't talk about rights,

but think about how well you know her.

Although it doesn't matter anymore.

Let's not delay...

...our fight any longer.

See you after class.

There won't be an end-day meeting, today.

It's going to rain, so there's no night study session.

-Make them clean up before they go, okay? -I will.

Oh, wait.

Stop by when you're done.

I will.

Is something wrong?

No.

Ayeong.

Ayeong, after class...

I have to see the teacher. Go home without me.

Okay.

Does your stomach hurt? You didn't eat earlier.

No.

You scared me.

Silence!

Keep it down, you brats.

Choi Jeongu.

What's going on?

Why is he going with Brown Bear?

I guess he called for him.

Wait.

Can't you stop them?

Jeongu's fighting because of me.

Stay out of it.

Must you go this far?

What's with everyone?

Everyone in school knows they're fighting.

How could the toughest guy in Namil High sit quiet?

Huh?

Let's go talk out back.

Yeokho has something in mind, so just calm down.

Got it?

Brown Bear is taking Jeongu!

Fight! Fight!

Really? This is huge.

Go back in.

Why do you even carry a mirror with that freaky face?

Seeing how you followed me here,

you're a man of your word.

-What? -I had to keep my word, too,

so I called you out.

That means...

What is he saying? I can't hear.

If I fight again,

I can't graduate.

Thank goodness.

But...

...too many eyes are on us.

So we have to do something.

What the heck?

So...

Come to the gym after school on Saturday.

Let's box.

What?

Whoever gives up first loses.

But if I fall even once, you win.

Okay?

See you then.

You know, there are no nunchucks in boxing.

Lose that, too.

They're going to box on Saturday.

I can't wait.

Can he even box?

I said not to wait.

It's okay. I wasn't really waiting.

Okay. Thanks.

Ayeong, earlier, at lunchtime...

What?

Nothing.

What are you doing after school tomorrow?

Probably studying.

Oh, I have plans tomorrow.

With Brown Bear?

I'm going to fight him.

I know.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

Tell me. What's your relationship with Brown Bear?

Why do you care?

Are you saying you're fighting because of me?

Why can't you tell me?

Well, you seem close, but never talk to him at school.

-And... -You know Lee Wonil?

He kept following me around.

And Yeokho helped me out. Happy?

Was that so hard to tell me?

-I asked so many times about Brown Bear. -Jeongu!

Can't you stop calling him "Brown Bear"?

And why is that so important to you?

Even the weather stinks.

Jeongu.

Hey.

♪ Walking down Yeongdong on a rainy day

Is this Yeongdong?

It's pouring.

It's pouring out. Where is this kid?

You should've said you were picking me up.

Huh?

My piano instructor couldn't go because of me.

Were you at the arcade again?

It's so obvious.

You talk so much for a little runt.

Fix the umbrella. I'm getting wet!

I can't see anything.

What's this?

Hold on tight!

Hold on tight!

I can just walk home.

It's okay. It's raining.

Still...

-Help! -What's that?

Help!

-Grandpa! -Help!

Let's go.

Grandpa!

Hold on!

Help!

Help!

Here!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Yeongmi. Where is she?

-Where's Yeongmi? -Yeongmi?

Yeongmi!

Yeongbok!

Help!

-She's over there! -Yeongbok!

-Yeongmi! -No!

No!

Get a bigger branch.

-Yeongmi! -It's dangerous.

-Yeongmi! -Stop!

Let go!

You can't go in!

Let go of me!

Yeongbok!

-Yeongmi! -Hold on!

-Jeongu! -Help!

I'll tie this around myself, so hold on to me.

What? It's too dangerous!

She's in more danger.

Hey, Deokwon! Hey!

Deokwon!

Yeongbok!

Help!

-Help! -Careful! Hold on tight!

I'm scared!

Deokwon! Come out!

Please help my little sister.

-Careful! -A little more.

Yeongmi! Hold on tight.

Yeongbok!

Yeongbok!

Yeongmi!

Help!

Grab on!

Hurry!

You're safe now!

-Deokwon! -It's okay. A little more.

Hang in there.

Yeongbok!

Deokwon!

Yeongmi!

-Deokwon! -It's okay. A little more.

Are you okay?

-Are you okay? -Yeongbok!

Deokwon!

You idiot!

Are you okay? You're not hurt?

Hey, you idiot!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Ayeong!

There was an accident at the bridge in town.

The foundation grew weak from all the rain this spring.

Anyway, Deokwon and Jeongu were there,

and helped save some people.

Deokwon's coming from the hospital, and Jeongu...

Jeongu, are you okay?

Yes.

Let's give him a round of applause.

So cool.

You look completely fine. How can you be so fine?

Deokwon is too sick to come to school, but you...

Yeongbok.

Hey.

Come here.

Here.

Give this to Deokwon.

You have some, too.

And...

Nothing. Go on.

I was forgetting...

...who I really am.

It seems I'm the only one...

...who haven't changed.

Why are you visiting this old man?

You should eat.

No, it's okay. Please let me.

You know my grandson, right?

He's strong, so he's pretty famous at school.

Yes, I know him too well.

I raised him since his parents died,

so he's rough around the edges,

but he has a kind heart.

Yeah, I'm eating.

Don't worry about me and be safe.

Hey!

What was her name?

Yeah, Ayeong!

Buy her some nice foods.

Don't worry about me.

"Yang Yeongwung."

You're not completely useless after all.

Excuse me?

Do you know him?

Good! Nice!

That's it!

You can't waste these hands in the gang.

Okay, let's go.

One, two! You promised me, okay?

Never hit kids with these fists again.

Fine.

He's the one who stopped Yeokho from fighting.

He was a great kid.

Hey!

Ayeong!

-He... -Stop that.

What?

Nothing.

-What is it? -He thinks you're cute.

You have such a big mouth.

Hey. Let me borrow this.

I want to wear it for the camping.

Can I go with you?

No. Wait for your turn.

It's my last trip before my pro test.

You go next year.

The sudden rise in water level of the rivers...

...has caused accidents resulting in many people missing.

Many accidents involve junior high, high school, and college students,

adding to the tragedy.

This is the current list of the deceased.

Kim Minju, Lee Eungi, Park Ayeong, Kim Jihun, Yang Yeongwung.

Witnesses say Yang Yeongwung was swept away,

while trying to save a child in the water.

He saved one child and went back in to save another,

and was swept off by strong currents.

You have no idea, but Ayeong is tough.

She never cries a tear in front of people.

She was always like that.

Although she'd bawl when she's alone.

Get home safely.

I will. Good night.

Go to sleep. You must be tired.

Go to sleep first. I'm going to run a little.

That kid bought it for me.

He says he eats that whenever he's sick.

It gives him the energy of a tiger or something.

Thanks for coming.

Hello.

Big brother.

Huh?

Grandpa...

Couldn't you have waited a little?

At least until Yeokho get married and have kids.

But Jeongu, it's been so long.

Why are you so busy? It's so hard to see you.

Well, yeah...

Don't waste your time and get married.

Grandchildren are the best gifts for your parents.

You sound like you have kids or something.

This kid...

Yeongbok's expecting his second child next month.

Twins.

Really?

Everyone looks the same.

And all settled in.

Jeongu, although you were skinny,

you always had a lot of guts.

What happened to you?

I know, he had no fear.

-Right. -Remember?

He took on Namil's thug, Lee Yeokho.

-He was something. -Show some respect!

I don't know what happened to that courage or whatever.

Now, I'm just a little man who is seeking for a job.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No way.

Are you still alone because you haven't forgotten your first love?

Yeah, who was that girl you liked?

Your class president. The smart girl.

What was her name? Yang...

-Yang Ayeong. -Yang Ayeong.

I got it first. Yang Ayeong.

Have you heard anything...

...about Ayeong?

We have gym. What are you doing here?

Huh? Oh...

I'll go first.

I say, "Choi," you say, "Jeongu!"

-Choi! -Jeongu!

Jeongu!

-Good luck! -Are you going to be okay?

-Hang in there. -You can do it.

You okay?

You look scary. Relax and go easy on him.

"The Pride of Sophomores: Choi Jeongu."

"KO for Choi Jeongu."

Jeongu, guard up!

-Tell me if you're tired. -Guard!

Tell me if you're tired.

Why don't you just give up?

You okay?

I don't think it's a good idea.

Round one is almost over! Hang in there!

Hang in there.

He avoids the punches so well.

Take it easy.

Don't drop your guard.

Jeongu or Brown Bear.

Yeah. Here. Nice choice.

-Who? -Me, too.

Yeah, that's the right choice.

-Jeongu. -Great job!

If you're tired, you can stop.

You're a hero.

Namil High's hero.

If you're asking as her boyfriend, don't talk about rights,

but think about how well you know her.

Fight!

Turn! Duck!

Turn! Duck!

Pretend not to see, hear or notice.

That's how I wanted to live.

-Even if I was a coward... -You okay?

-Guard up! -I didn't care.

No! Get off!

Yang Ayeong.

I shouldn't have called out her name.

Choi Jeongu! Choi Jeongu!

Everything got twisted since that day.

Including my heart.

Do you like Ayeong?

Do you know whom I hate the most?

Who?

Someone who is all talk.

I just don't want her to meet someone like that.

Hang in there! Round two's almost over!

Yeokho!

What's your relationship with Brown Bear?

Was that so hard to tell me? I asked so many times...

-...about Brown Bear. -Jeongu!

Can't you stop calling him "Brown Bear"?

Jeongu!

Jeongu! Are you okay?

What are you doing? Count!

Hurry. Count.

It's not over yet. Get out.

Go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Stop it!

Choi Jeongu!

Count! Hurry!

Get up.

Something to cheer me up.

I want you to sing something that would cheer me up.

Sure. I will.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

I'm up!

Jeongu!

Choi Jeongu!

Fight!

Jeongu!

Jeongu!

Jeongu! Are you okay?

Jeongu!

-Get up! -Jeongu!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Let's continue!

What the heck?

Jeongu, are you okay?

Why is that so important to you?

I wish you'd be more responsible.

Why won't you give up?

Why? Is it because Ayeong's watching?

You don't want to lose easily in front of your girl?

Well, I don't know.

There's...

...something seriously wrong with me.

If it's because she's watching, don't just get hit.

Throw some punches.

I'm going to stop pretending not to hear or notice.

I want to be able to stand...

...with dignity before you.

National...

Singing Contest!

What are you singing on National Singing Contest?

Something that would cheer people up.

I'm going to Seoul this Sunday.

It's the day Jeongu goes on.

National Singing Contest.

Ayeong, why did you agree to go out with me?

It's a secret.

Jeongu.

I'm...

...transferring out.
