"Teacher's Certification Exam for Gyeonggi-do"

Are the results out?

No, not yet.

It's two days away, but I keep checking.

Don't worry, you'll pass.

I have to go to the restaurant. You get some rest.

Oh, yeah. Did you download all the photos?

Oh, that? There wasn't much.

They'll be gone after today,

so download all the photos and e-mails. Don't regret it later.

Fine. Stop nagging and get going.

Okay, good night.

Did you see Brown Bear's fight? It was crazy.

He and Jeongu were shooting lasers from their eyes.

He went like this and Brown Bear's cross punch...

So who won?

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

I want to be able to stand with dignity before you.

-Jeongu! Are you okay? -Jeongu!

-Get up! -Jeongu!

-Jeongu! Are you okay? -Choi Jeongu!

-Get up! -Jeongu! Are you okay?

-Jeongu! -Jeongu!

-Jeongu! -He's not dead, is he?

He seems fine. Hey, are you happy now?

"Korea Sings Namil-gun Special"

-Hey, Champ! -What? Champ?

You looked really cool yesterday.

No wonder you were so confident.

You be the captain of Namil High now.

Whatever. I was totally knocked out. Look.

But you lasted three rounds against Brown Bear.

I would be dead already.

Jeongu.

You should do well on the National Singing Contest.

I believe in you.

Don't even bring that up.

That was quite a sigh.

What's with the heavy sighs?

Hey, Yeokho.

Is something wrong?

No.

Then, what is it? Did you fight with Jeongu?

I'm going to Seoul this Sunday.

It's the day...

...Jeongu goes on the National Singing Contest.

You're leaving already?

It's not that.

But I requested a song from him.

I asked him to sing something to cheer me up.

Please keep it a secret from him.

Why?

He'll be disappointed.

Will you listen to him for me?

And afterward, if he asks for me...

I can't go either.

I'm getting tested to go pro on that day.

I see.

Hurry back and watch him.

He'll be waiting for you.

He kept looking at you during our fight, too.

Do you...

...like Jeongu?

I'll buy tteokbokki, so let's go.

Okay! I want sundae, too!

You pig!

Thanks, Jeongu.

Is your face okay?

What about you? Are you okay where I hit you?

You weren't bad. You should come to the gym.

Me?

Then you can become a more trustworthy boyfriend.

What are you singing...

...on the National Singing Contest?

Something cheerful.

I will sing something that would cheer people up.

Dad!

Mom!

Mom, just use your key.

Oh, Mom...

Hey, Ayeong. What brings you here?

Deokwon said your mom is away,

so I was wondering if you ate.

Give me a minute.

Hey, wait in the living room.

Okay.

What took you so long?

Sorry, I had to bring this.

Let's have tteokbokki.

He said you haven't had lunch.

Let's eat.

Sure. I should eat.

Wow, this is really nice.

It's really nice.

Why are you giving that to him?

He doesn't even play.

I know. Are you sure I can keep this?

Can I?

I found you. Here you are.

Me too. Wow, you transferred a lot.

Yeah, three times each in the sixth and ninth grades.

That's why you had no friends and were an outcast.

I avoided everyone myself.

Sure, that's what they all say.

It must be lonely if you transfer, right?

What?

How will it feel looking back...

...on our graduation album?

I don't know.

Maybe we'd be what we wanted to be,

doing what we like?

You know how hard that is?

That's why you have to be positive.

I'm going to be a boss.

I'll own a huge restaurant. I'll be President Lim.

Nice. That's so specific.

What about you?

What?

What do you want to be?

I...

It's not that you need to become something,

but having a dream is a joy itself.

It means you know what you're good at and enjoy.

Anyway, I hope we meet again once we become...

...what we want to become.

Sure we will.

Sure we will.

You sound weird.

Like you won't be seeing me in 10 years?

It's gone.

What are you doing? Let's go.

What? Okay.

National Singing Contest!

Hello, everyone! How have you been?

"Korean Boxing Commission for Namil Area"

Okay, now. One, two!

Why did you have to face him in your first fight?

Yeokho, don't be nervous.

Don't be nervous. Don't be scared.

He took a year off,

because he kept getting into fights.

Boxing isn't for thugs.

Come on, he's the national gold medalist.

What is he bragging about?

You think we didn't compete at the nationals?

-Hey. -Yes?

I never competed at the nationals.

Because the boxing team disbanded...

...after Yeongwung died.

-Go! -You can do it!

Fight!

My rear itches.

Did Namil always have this many people?

I don't know, but why do so many people fail?

It's not easy.

-Hey, come here. -Why?

What is this? It looks lame.

-But that's my look. -Drop it.

It looks bad on you. It's more my style.

-That doesn't look good on you. -Shut it!

-Mom will be mad. -Whatever!

Hey, if you're going to play the guitar,

you should've asked me to play the bass guitar.

That's unfair.

This is just a light acoustic...

What? Do you want to die?

You didn't tell me anything.

You think I brought this,

because I can't play an acou... whatever?

Why, you!

It fits you.

I won't do it. I won't.

You offered to do it.

You punk!

Hey, if you land a single punch on Yeokho,

I'll play the tambourine behind you...

...and dance for you on the National Singing Contest.

You know why?

Because I know you can't land a single punch.

Fine, I will. I'll do it.

I will!

Hi! Sorry, I'm late.

It's okay.

Hey, aren't you hot? Drink this.

It's packed out there.

What? Is someone better than us? That's not good.

But you...

You look good.

You too.

What's her deal?

She is for the look.

And the keyboardist. For the piano.

-The pretty pianist. -The pretty one?

I'm the look here. How annoying.

Why didn't I know this Is how it would end?

You are different on the outside than on the inside

I was a fool for giving you my heart

For loving you

Jeongu, I haven't seen Ayeong yet, either.

Give it up.

If she isn't here yet, she's not coming.

What kind of a girlfriend is she?

-You've never even had one. -I had one, too!

Hey! Stop that already!

What?

You're just playing the tambourine.

Do you want some tea?

Let's welcome the next group.

Let's hear it for them!

Good.

Goodness! You have many supporters.

They are from Namil High.

Aren't they good-looking and pretty?

They will be performing as a group.

Okay. Hold on.

What's your band's name?

What? Oh, okay. Got it.

This is The Band That Cheers You Up!

That's right! Keep going!

Good!

You're doing great!

That's it!

This is The Band That Cheers You Up!

Let's watch their performance!

Choi Jeongu! Choi Jeongu!

Choi Jeongu! Choi Jeongu!

Ayeong, you're watching me, right?

Choi Jeongu! Choi Jeongu!

-Good going. -Wucheol, wake up!

I have to rush somewhere.

Where? Hey! You have to pick up your license!

Pick it up for me.

What? What about our dinner?

You have to eat beef!

Are you okay?

But I requested a song from him.

I asked him to sing something...

...that would cheer me up.

Will you listen to him for me?

Oh, no. That's too bad.

-Fail. -What?

That was a good try.

But you didn't make it.

Think it as a good experience.

Thank you for your hard work.

Now for the awards ceremony.

Did the class president really not come?

There's no way.

You can't even play the guitar, you faker.

Yeokho!

You got here before it ended.

Yes.

I rushed back, but I couldn't watch him sing.

Don't worry.

The winner gets an encore,

and they'll definitely win.

Yes.

The most popular contestant...

I'm sure you can guess who is it, right?

Namil High's The Band That Cheers You Up!

Great job!

We won 200 dollars!

But they don't get to perform again, do they?

I don't think so.

That's just great.

I hope you'll always cheer up people...

...with your songs.

Thank you.

You were great!

I thought you were a real band!

You should just become Namil High's band.

-Yes. -Right.

Should we form a band?

-Do it! -Should we?

The teacher wants to see you.

Oh... Okay.

You heard that vibration?

Then he failed!

What did I say?

I thought it was vinegar.

Yeongbok was...

She's been going to the teacher's office a lot lately.

I know.

It's probably because the semester's almost over.

It's not funny!

Those kids.

What's so funny?

Don't give me that look.

It's not funny.

Ayeong, your father's here.

What do you think you're doing? Get back down!

Don't hit me on the head.

Ayeong, where did you go after third period?

To the bathroom.

-You know you shouldn't have gone. -Why?

You know what? Our class has another couple.

Really?

You know Park Seongtae?

He said to Jinyeong, "Go out with me."

He used my line.

He totally used my line! He copied me!

He went, "Go out with me."

He couldn't even do it right.

He's so funny.

Hurry up!

Jeongu.

What?

Want to come over to my house?

Ta-da!

A bike again?

I got tired of waiting for you to give me a ride.

So I want to teach you.

Are you holding on? Don't let go!

Of course. Don't worry.

I don't mind falling,

but I don't want to damage your bike.

I know! I'm holding on!

Hey! Why? Why did you let go? When? Hey!

Okay, let's make it a little more difficult.

No, not yet. You'll get hurt.

You worry wart. If I fall, I'll just get back up.

Let's go!

I'm doing it.

See? You can do it.

Oh, no. There's a car heading straight for us.

Ayeong, are you okay?

Yeah.

Let's me see.

Are you really okay? How's your ankle?

-Yeah. -Oh, my back.

Hey!

-Isn't that refreshing? -It's cold. Stop!

Stop!

I didn't splash you that much!

It's a good thing the bike didn't get damaged.

You can keep that bike.

It's okay. You need it.

It's a gift to celebrate you learning how to ride.

The guitar was, too...

But this bike...

...is precious to you.

What's wrong?

Jeongu.

I'm transferring out.

The brake works well.

I'm against it.

Living in Seoul won't get you into Seoul University.

Does Ayeong want to go to Seoul?

You like living here?

Without Yeongwung?

It's best for Ayeong to leave as soon as possible.

It's hard to be just average in Seoul.

If we want to send her abroad later,

we must start now.

"Sophomore, Class 1: Yang Ayeong"

Hey, Class President!

Sujeong!

We're in the same class again!

But I'm not the class president.

Whatever. You will be anyway.

Are you preparing for your exams?

You know your grades follow you until you graduate.

Being the top student here is nothing.

Hey! Ayeong!

Go out with me.

What is it?

Look at that attitude.

Why did you ask for me?

To tell you about your little girlfriend.

Where did he go?

I don't know whether or not to tell you.

Whether or not I do...

...will depends on how you treat me...

...and how you act.

I know she's transferring.

You do?

Why that little brat.

Then do you know this?

Her transfer was decided before the semester started.

So she knew she was going to transfer out...

...way before she started dating you.

You don't get it?

Let me explain.

That chick played you, you idiot!

What? Are you mad?

Why are you taking it out on me?

You think I'm scared?

Lee Wonil!

You've got to be kidding me.

Have fun together.

Are you okay?

Where were you?

You were gone for a while.

Nowhere.

Let's go home together.

It's divided by form.

Like what?

Like the most common, frames.

Let's stop here for today.

I have something to tell you.

It may be a little sudden for you guys,

but our class president is transferring to Seoul tomorrow.

-What? Seoul? -She's transferring?

-Why? -What's going on?

-Really? -You're leaving?

Jeongu, did you know she was transferring?

Yes, I'm upset, too.

But since it's her last day, say your goodbyes.

It's all a part of life.

Study hard, so that you can meet again in college.

-Okay. -Sure.

How could you not tell me?

Sorry, it just happened.

Hey, Sujeong, did someone die?

Why are you crying?

She's just going to Seoul.

Still. You brat.

How could you not even cry?

I'm hurt. We've been friends since grade school.

Jeongu!

Why did you ignore me?

"Yang Ayeong"

Hey! Ayeong!

Tell me. 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"?

Why is that so important to you?

"I'm sorry"

Why didn't you wait for me?

Just...

I thought you'd be waiting.

What's that?

It's my last day.

It's stuff from my locker.

I'll carry them for you.

Jeongu.

Yes?

Thanks.

Ayeong.

Why did you...

...agree to go out with me?

It's a secret.

Hurry up! I'm leaving without you!

The next day, Ayeong transferred to Seoul.

And that was the last time I saw her.

"This is a secret, but..."

"Search: Sent by"

"I want to hear a song that'll cheer me up..."

How have you been?

I'm writing again,

hoping you'll get my e-mail this time.

It's been crazy, getting adjusted here.

I can tell when the seasons change, now.

So it made me think about back home.

It must be spring there.

It's so pretty in Namil in the spring.

We don't have cherry blossoms like those here.

Remember?

You went on the National Singing Contest...

...toward the end of the first semester.

You know...

"Ayeong, it's been a long time"

"Namil High School, Choi Jeongu"

"Remember me?"

Bye. Call me when you get to Seoul.

Okay. Get to work.

Okay, bye.

Hi, Ayeong. It's me, Jeongu.

Choi Jeongu from Namil High, Class 1-1.

Don't tell me you don't remember me.

Although I don't even have a 1 percent hope...

...that you'd get my e-mail now.

"You have passed the teacher's exam for 2013"

But if I don't do this,

I don't think I can handle my emotions.

Thank you for everything.

Congratulations.

-Keep in touch. -I will.

I'll buy a round of drinks.

Ayeong, you've been doing well, right?

It's been three months since you left.

Grandpa? Are you there?

Are you out?

It makes me sad that although you left,

Namil High hasn't changed.

Okay, Class President.

Attention.

Bow.

Thank you!

-Go home early. -I want some tteokbokki.

Jeongu, I'm leaving first.

"I'm sorry..."

"Ayeong"

When I first transferred in,

there were many times when I couldn't handle it,

but it was of great help to have you by my side.

What's that?

We're seniors now.

I just realized it.

You have boxing, but for me...

Want to come to the gym and try becoming a trainer?

What? A trainer?

I saw you sparring with Jeongu. You have talent.

If you work hard,

you may get into a college sports program.

College? Me? Really?

Of course.

You can't just worry.

Don't give me a false hope.

I can go to college?

Of course.

Really?

I said it's okay.

Hyeonjin, you're the top student. You have no time...

...to study with prep classes after school.

So I'll take you there.

Safely.

Don't get the wrong idea because I let you take me.

I can't ride something that dangerous.

Sure. I won't.

Hang on tight.

Shoot. Why do I like smart girls so much?

You've gone so far away.

I worry if you're doing well alone.

When will I see you again?

Ayeong.

Are you doing well?

"Seoul, 2003"

Please make sure it's sealed well.

Where does the sofa go?

Leave this. Please be careful.

-The boxes... -Yes, ma'am.

-Take extra care for that. -Yes, ma'am.

I can't see the sky.

-That one goes there. -Okay.

Have some juice.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Sorry for being so loud while you're studying.

I'm trying to get rid of some of our stuff.

It's hard preparing to move to the US.

Sorry, I couldn't do much for you.

I'm going to my prep class.

Okay.

-Over here, please. -Yes, ma'am.

They are from Namil High.

Aren't they good-looking and pretty?

They are performing as a group.

Okay. Hold on. What's your band's name?

This is The Band That Cheers You Up!

Introduce yourselves.

Hi. I'm from Namil High, and my name is...

...Choi Jeongu.

I'm Shin Yeongbok, and I'm a junior.

I'm the keyboardist, Jang Hyeonjin.

She's very smart. Isn't she pretty?

She's Namil High's Jang Nara.

-Hey, you. -She is the top student.

The Band That Cheers You Up!

Let's watch their performance! Applause!

My heart pounded

Someone was chasing me

I had nowhere to go At the edge of the cliff

I desperately screamed out your name

And I heard your voice ringing in my ears

And that was my salvation

If I could race across the dry sky

And run into your arms

I don't mind if my body crumbles

Even if I fly too close to the sun

And both my legs melt away

I'd run into your heart

Forever

Ayeong, why are you crying?

I hated myself

I looked so pathetic

All my dreams seemed like A childish illusion

I swallowed my tears And whispered your name

And I heard your voice ringing in my ears

And that was my hope

If I could race across the dry sky

And run into your arms

I don't mind if my body crumbles

Even if I fly too close to the sun

And both my legs melt away

I'd run into your heart

Forever

If I could cheer my weak soul

It's a secret.

If I could give it wings

Don't call me "Class President".

Something cheerful.

Something that would cheer me up.

Sure. Okay.

If I could race across the dry sky

And run into your arms

I don't mind if my body crumbles

Even if I fly too close to the sun

And both my legs melt away

I'd run into your heart

Forever

Thank you, Jeongu.

Hey, Cheolsu!

-Good morning, sir. -Good morning, sir.

Hi.

It's a song from the Goryeo Dynasty.

And this is important. It's a three-part form.

A three-part form. Got it?

Now let's analyze "Are You Leaving?"

"Are you leaving? Are you leaving me?"

This "me" has no significance.

It's just a filler for the beat.

Choi Jeongu.

Choi Jeongu!

We have a transfer student.

His name is Choi Jeongu.

Say hi.

Hello, I'm Choi Jeongu.

Nice to meet you.

Isn't he kind of cute?

Go out with me.

Something that would cheer me up.

Don't call me "Class President".

It's a secret.
