[Episode 6]

Min Ji, please clean up the rest for me.

Okay, Ms. Seo. Hurry up and go upstairs.

I'm curious about the new Heewon High students, too.

Oh, hello.

Are you finished with the class?

Yes, where's Mr. Lee Joon Ho...

He went home.

By chance, with the Director?

No, they left separately.

Oh, right.

Congratulations on the Heewon class.

Thank you.

[Teacher]

Where are you?

Are you sleeping?

Hello, Ms. Seo.

Where were you?

I was just getting some fresh air.

You have to start using your throat a lot starting now.

Be careful not to catch a cold.

Watch the weather when you go out, too.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

Let's hear how you feel, Mr. Lee.

How does it feel to have your first student?

I feel like I could get stars or the moon for Shi Woo.

Help him reach Grade 1. Nothing impossible like that.

What's going on?

Are you scared now that you finally have a student?

It's okay. There's time until the first class. Prepare a lot-

- Ms. Seo. - Yes, tell me.

Forget about everything I said earlier today.

You can join Choiseon Korean.

What? You said you'd give me all the students you get.

Did you regret it on second thought?

- It's not like that. - What is it, then?

Shi Woo wants to go to Seoul University.

He needs to go to a school with cheap tuition since his family isn't well-off.

He said he wants to start liking Korean.

He's nervous that he's been blindly memorizing.

The adults want him to go to medical school

and he thinks he needs to meet their expectations

but not sure if that's what he wants.

So, he wants to find out what he wants to do before he turns 20.

What does that have to do with Choiseon Korean?

I want to help him achieve everything he said.

I want to send him to Seoul University and like Korean, too.

And help him decide on a career path.

So?

I wonder if you feel that way about me, too.

What about it?

You can't be like that, can you?

I graduated a long time ago.

We're just colleagues now.

Not letting you leave now would be an awful thing to do.

Should I get you some tea if you don't want alcohol?

I dried bellflower roots to serve the teachers.

- I heard they're good for your throat. - That sounds good.

Hot tea sounds good, right?

- We'll have some. Thank you. - Okay.

Don't overreact. I can manage myself.

What will you do, exactly?

Just eat. Do I have to tell you that, too?

Does managing yourself mean...

caring for an old student while suffering loss?

What's wrong with you?

Why did you step down as the ad model?

Most importantly,

I'm so happy that our first student is such an excellent student.

Don't you agree?

A top student is better than ten ads.

This is a great thing, Mr. Lee.

Yes.

You did great.

You were probably short on time,

but you prepared for counseling. That's impressive, too.

Thank you.

This is only the beginning.

The memory of today's victory will keep you going throughout your career.

Don't ever lose the beginner's spirit.

Got it.

It is a moment to celebrate,

but unfortunately, I already made a plan.

Right, you were about to leave.

- Let's all leave, then. - Yes.

Well, then.

Mr. Lee, just one moment.

Lee Joon Ho.

Yes?

« »

You did a great job.

You guys are...

You guys are really the best.

Thank you.

It's been frustrating for me

since I couldn't play favorites as a director.

I see.

I knew we could pull it off.

The three of us have a long history.

The newbie director, teacher, and the dumb kid

are the ones who shocked the whole Daechi-dong.

We're a fantastic team.

Search the entire Deachi-dong.

Who here has the guts to use a new teacher in their ad?

Other directors wouldn't have accepted a suggestion like that.

What do you mean, suggestion?

Come on.

Seo Hye Jin stepped down as an ad model,

Lee Joon Ho raised the stakes,

and I was there for you during the challenge.

The strong bond from the past brought today's miracle.

I guess the Director is getting scared.

That's why he wants to insist we're a team.

Ms. Seo.

I wanted you to be noticed by a major academy and scouted.

You said you have to make tons of money.

I didn't say that, expecting you to sacrifice.

You're making it sound like I'm some sort of a martyr. It's not a big deal.

Stop joking around.

I felt so guilty I thought I'd die.

If I asked you to do something again or stay another year with me,

doesn't that make me crazy?

Don't overreact, I said.

I take back everything I said earlier today.

Just do whatever you want to do, okay?

You're really ready to be on your own.

I'm not joking right now.

Makes me proud to hear you say that after gaining a student with difficulty.

Proud? Stop acting like you're the only adult here.

How disappointing.

W-What is?

I know. What am I disappointed about?

I guess I liked hearing that you needed me.

We always wait for others to choose us.

There are too many academies and teachers here.

So, we always scream at the top of our lungs, saying,

"I'm here. Please come here and hear me out."

But you came to me on your own, and you said you needed me.

You wanted to have an adventure with me.

I suppose I was very happy about that.

So, when you told me to leave, I f-felt... I guess... I f-felt disappointed?

Ms. Seo, you're really...

such a headache.

What?

What am I supposed to do if you do this?

[My Pride]

[Edit]

[Mr. Lee Joon Ho]

[Daechi Chase opens Heewon High class]

Director Kim sure is something else.

What are you saying out of the blue?

I was here late last night since I had a night counseling duty.

He called me when I was about to leave.

Did he?

He told me to order a banner and gave me the copy.

And he went out for a drink.

When everyone else is jumping for joy,

he was thinking that in his head.

I found it strangely off-putting.

His specialty is being a half step ahead of everyone else.

See how he established this place while other small academies were failing.

Don't look down on him just because he's mild-mannered.

You'll have to learn from him.

Gosh, it's not something you can learn.

It's all about instinct.

An old lady like me can't even mimic him.

I scheduled the Heewon class for just Wednesday nights for now.

I didn't think a Sunday class would be necessary.

As for Chanyeong High 11th grade class...

Should I give it back to Ms. Seo?

Just leave it for now.

The Director would comfort her, right?

I mean Ms. Seo.

Hey.

- Did you wait long? - Not really.

I ordered the food already.

I got what you usually get.

- Was there such a thing? - Of course.

That's for her.

Okay. Here you go.

Thank you.

Okay.

I have a class soon.

You have five hours to go.

That's enough time to drink a glass and get sober.

Let's do it for the old time's sake.

Is it too humble of a lunch for the hero?

It's okay.

I wanted to treat you somewhere impressive,

but I remembered this restaurant.

I was in the area for work and noticed they were still open.

You know how we're short on classrooms.

So, I was looking for a place for a few small classrooms.

I heard our old academy space was available, so I checked it out.

If so...

I didn't sign the contract because it didn't feel right.

A couple of teachers started dating, apparently.

I guess the academy was negatively affected and had to shut down.

The teachers gossiped and got jealous.

A nasty rumor spread among students, too.

I heard they couldn't do anything once the students started leaving.

Thinking about it, no one is as spick and span as you are.

Professionally and personally.

I try to be spick and span professionally and personally.

Let's eat.

Is your younger brother still commuting from your parents' house?

Yes.

Sejong Government Complex must be far from there.

He'll save up and get his own place soon.

Time goes by so fast.

It feels like yesterday when I paid his tuition.

But he's a civil servant now.

You must've heard everything from Joon Ho last night, right?

Of course.

It reminded me of the old days.

I could tell.

Thinking about it,

it looks like Joon Ho has always been at turning points in our lives.

Right.

As I paid off the debt I created while making a film, thanks to you two

and moved out of this building,

I promised myself something.

Never fail again, and never torment the people who trusted me again.

That's one's duty as the leader.

Since I was afraid to fail,

I did something I shouldn't have done to you.

I couldn't sleep thinking about the Gangbuk branch.

A new area, unfamiliar schools,

and the students outside of Daechi-dong.

I wondered how we could put our roots down there

and who could achieve that for us.

That's why I started feeling hasty.

I was desperate to give you the major task

that I forgot my initial spirit.

You should get a TA.

This would be independent of the TA you personally hired.

The academy will be paying them instead.

But I don't need one since I have fewer classes now.

I sincerely apologize as the director.

Please teach Chanyeong High's 11th-grade class again.

Cheers.

I felt so guilty, I thought I'd die.

- Director. - Yes?

That's not how you apologize.

Why are you embarrassing me, too?

Well, you know...

if you're embarrassed in front of Mr. Lee and Ms. Nam, don't worry.

Joon Ho needs to be focusing on Heewon High

and Ms. Nam will be given an appropriate class.

You need to keep the Daechi-dong branch steady as a rock

so our academy can grow. I finally realized that now.

I understand you feel disappointed.

I-If my... I'm stuttering now.

If my apology wasn't enough, let me once again-

I'm not saying it wasn't enough.

I'm saying it was wrong.

Am I hard to understand?

I'm known for easily explaining things.

Seriously. Team Leader Seo.

Come on, Seo Hye Jin-

You didn't just cancel my Chanyeong class. You broke our trust.

Don't be like that. That's not right. Don't exaggerate.

I know that you and Assistant Director have been nervous for about five years.

Yes.

Yes, this is Seo Hye Jin.

Yes.

But how... yes...

How did you get my number?

Yes, I've heard of them.

No, I'm not interested in seeing them.

Even a fool would've noticed.

Whenever I got a call from a different academy, you brought up our old friendship and loyalty.

But it didn't matter to me.

I thought maybe I didn't provide enough trust.

So, I signed your contracts, no matter what it said.

The more I read this clause, the more I hate it.

You can't get a job in the area for a year if you quit your job.

It doesn't happen all the time,

but you might have to compensate them for the loss.

You know that, right?

It doesn't matter since I won't quit.

I'll sign if everything else looks fine.

I never even jaywalked after my face started appearing in ads in Daechi-dong.

And I never swore so I don't damage the academy's image.

- Team Leader Seo. - Yes.

It was because I was grateful.

Because you helped me when I was struggling.

But I didn't receive anything for free.

My brother's tuition and my father's hospital bill?

It was an advance. You never gave it to me for free.

Why do you talk as if it were a charity case?

I must've caused miscommunication.

I was disappointed in you when you docked my pay,

but I thought our relationship was still good enough.

You said Seo Hye Jin is more important than a few students.

I believed it when you said that.

I felt rewarded seeing the academy grow, too.

But you must've thought all of that was yours.

Gosh, seriously.

Don't act all high and mighty.

You wanted to be the youngest director at the Gangbuk branch.

I'm glad you brought that up.

Is the Gangbuk branch mine?

Should I grow it and keep it?

It's because I was scared!

Director Kim Hyeon Tak!

Can't you be more honest?

I'm not lying.

What did you say?

I really was scared.

I have nightmares where you take the entire Chaneyong High with you.

You were shoveling my money away, too.

That's my reward for working 15 hours a day without taking weekends off.

How did you end up this way, Director?

Ask a hundred directors on the streets.

Ask them if they're afraid of teachers like you.

I didn't change.

I just became a director.

You said you were different than other directors!

See? You never lose an argument!

Gosh, fight outside!

I wanted us to have a beautiful goodbye

if my time to part with you came.

Gosh, I said I-I was sorry.

Why would you say something so awful?

Give the Chanyeong High 11th-grade class to Ms. Nam and Mr. Lee.

They're working hard on it.

Wait...

Darn it.

[Teachers' Office]

[Students are not allowed to enter while the final exams are being written.]

You teach the 11th grade.

I'm asking why you're involving yourself in the 10th-grade exam.

I've written 10th-grade exams for three years until last year.

You can apply the school's exam trends or overall direction, too.

I assume you didn't do that as a hobby.

You don't even have a 10th-grade class.

The head of the 10th grade requested this.

We'd feel better if you had another look.

- Feel better? - I'm not...

I'm not necessarily telling you to use the old exams.

I appreciate the gesture.

He's so stubborn.

I'll take any kind of cigarettes. A lighter, too.

We don't sell cigarettes.

The parents complained about it.

Mr. Pyo is such a troublemaker.

Okay, then. Get back to work.

Okay.

Can I bum a cigarette from you?

I quit a long time ago.

Okay. Here you go.

[Prepare the school exams and college entrance exam with Daechi Chase]

So Yeong, you finished reading the contract I gave you, right?

We'll be counting on you, then.

Yes. Tell Jae Yeong to stop by sometime.

- Thank you in advance. - I'll do my best to teach them.

Get home safely.

How come you don't even get nervous?

There's no time for that.

Would you like some tea?

Sure.

The mothers sometimes bring nice teas.

Of course, only when their kids' grades improve.

If the grades go down,

they swear instead of gifting teas.

- Thank you. - It tastes pretty good.

They have expensive taste since they're mothers who live in Gangnam.

You talk as if you aren't one of them.

My gosh.

By the way, I'm not sure

if I can be so casual with you.

You became the most desired teacher at the academy.

Please, keep it casual.

- Thank you. - Not at all

It's such a cruel world, isn't it?

Well...

I've been working at the academy for five or six years already.

Things are so different than how they seem outside.

The teachers must feel so lonely.

They don't have anyone to rely on

or to trust.

Team Leader Seo

is very hurt by this, right?

Yes.

I don't know entirely, but probably quite a bit.

Of course, she is.

When they said they'd give the Chanyeong class to someone else,

even my heart sank.

Will she renew the contract?

I'm not sure. I don't know that much, either.

Should I ask her myself?

No, come on.

I wasn't asking that.

Ms. Seo

first joined the academy when she was barely 20.

She was such a baby if you think about it.

When I had a counseling session with her because of your mom's recommendation,

I couldn't even call her "Teacher."

I felt that way, too.

Right?

But how many years has it been?

She's been so devoted to the academy for over a decade.

She's not calculating at all because of that.

She never got to enjoy life, either.

You're right.

Someone like that can get scary

once they change their mind.

Aren't you going to go independent, ma'am?

What?

Seung Gyu told me.

That you're planning to start an academy with a director if your husband approves.

My goodness.

Seriously, this is how sons are.

Why doesn't he understand his mother?

It's not my husband's approval I'm waiting for.

It's a capable director.

It'd have to be a serious talent to satisfy you.

Of course. They'd have to be...

at least as good as Ms. Seo to satisfy me.

Seo Hye Jin is so popular.

Mr. Lee.

You're a busy man today. I thought the counseling session ended a while ago.

Where have you been?

- Were you looking for me? - Of course.

Do you have time to loaf around?

I wasn't loafing around.

I'll be in the office.

Let's go to the reference room. We need to create class material for Heewon High.

I'll create my part myself. Just review it for me. I know you're busy.

Even if Shi Woo brought all of his friends,

we'd barely meet the minimum enrollment requirement.

Student care is critical with small classes. There's still a lot you don't know.

I'll ask you questions if I have any.

I said I could do a good job.

Have a seat.

Joon Ho,

should I share my trade secret with you?

It's okay. You said it'd be unfair for other teachers.

No, you'll find out about it soon, too.

Once you start teaching students,

you'll have a favorite eventually.

Shi Woo will be like that to you.

You were my favorite.

Seung Gyu, Ho Jae, and Tae Hyeon were all great,

but I liked you the most. Don't tell Manager Kim.

It's because

my grades improved the most and I brought a lot of my friends, too.

Yes. I thought that was why, too, but no.

Even if your grades went down and the friends you brought quit,

you...

were very precious as you were.

I guess I wanted to do more for you because of that.

So, I said some silly things yesterday. I said I was disappointed and stuff.

Forget about things like that.

Forget about feeling grateful, guilty, and disappointed.

Just focus on your goal.

I'll help you as much as I can if you need anything.

I went in front of your house

after we parted last night.

There's something you don't know.

What is it?

More than you think...

I'm holding back as hard as I can.

Because if I told you everything I wanted,

you might get sick of me.

So, go while you still can.

The students are coming. Let's go.

Anyway, you need to devote yourself to Heewon High.

You can work on your part, but make sure I review it.

You read between the lines, right?

Open it. Nothing is scarier than rumors.

Let the rumors spread.

Wow, that sounds tasty.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Free up some time tonight.

Why?

You have to take us out to celebrate Heewon class. I heard you met the enrollment requirement today.

Wow, I'm excited to finally spend money.

I won't let you say, "I have a plan. I need to do something."

You know what'd happen if you ran away, right? It won't be pretty.

I should remind you I'm the life of the party.

Let's do it.

Director.

Yes, our assistant director.

You couldn't be reached all day.

What happened?

We'll have tomato juice. Two glasses.

No, I'm okay.

I don't want to get sober.

Did your conversation with Ms. Seo not go well?

Assistant Director.

Yes, go ahead.

We should change our strategy.

Seo Hye Jin's head got way too big.

We've been breaking her little by little,

and we're about to lose at least a hundred students.

If so...

I'd like you to back down

a bit for now.

Will there be two assistant directors?

Well, the title won't matter.

She can be the head of the faculty.

Anyway, we need to give her everything we can.

Gosh, it's almost time to renew the contract, too.

Director.

I have a bad feeling.

I...

need to kneel down.

You don't have to go that far.

I can't imagine the academy without Seo Hye Jin.

You'll drink all the alcohol today, Mr. Lee.

You haven't hung out with us because of the secret project.

Cheers.

I knew it'd work out.

Really?

Hello. Hello.

I've always wanted to talk to you, Ms. Seo.

Oh, really?

Ms. Nam kept telling me how much she enjoyed your class.

I didn't keep saying that. I just said it once. Cheers.

Why are you all sharing that small table?

Send us either Mr. Lee or Ms. Moneybags. Let's split them up.

Okay. I'll-

Mr. Lee, you should stay.

They drink like crazy. Mr. Lee Jang Woo can't be defeated.

Ms... Team Leader, will you be okay?

No one can beat me.

Here you go.

Hand me these. Make sure they don't run out of food, either.

We should've done this on the day of the event.

- That was so long ago. - I'll take that.

Here's the food.

Huh? What?

Does he know we're hanging out without him?

No way.

Team Leader Seo! Team Leader Seo!

You got a call.

Just leave it. It's too late to answer.

It's the Director.

Excuse me.

Hye Jin! Hye Jin! Hold on.

What is it? What's going on?

I should make sure the Director gets in a taxi.

Go inside. Right, take my card.

No, no. I'll take care of it.

- No, no. - No, no, seriously.

I said I'd pay.

Bye.

What? Why did you come out?

You're on your way to see Director Kim.

Yes, how about you?

Well, it's suspicious.

Why see your drunk boss at this hour?

This is not allowed in normal companies.

What did you tell everyone?

I said exactly what I just said.

Let's go.

The Director apologized to me earlier today,

but I didn't accept it and f***ing flipped out.

That's probably why.

You did what?

F***ing flipped out.

He's making me swear.

I guess you'd be joining Choiseon Korean.

Where are you, Director? I'm here.

Yes, wait a moment. I'm almost there.

Okay.

Why don't you wait here?

No, I'll come with you.

I'll scream if something happens.

He's right there.

How do I get there, by the way?

Here it is.

Ms. Seo...

- It's okay. - Be careful.

Director.

Wow, Seo Hye Jin.

My treasure, Hye Jin.

Gosh, why did you drink so much?

Did you start drinking in the afternoon?

I did.

I smoked a cigarette for a change, too.

Should I get you some water?

I don't need it.

The air is cold. Let's get up.

I'm a coward.

Go home for now. Let's talk tomorrow.

And I'm underhanded.

- I didn't say you were underhanded. - Really?

Am I a scoundrel who tries to be clever, then?

Stop blaming yourself.

I just wanted a sincere apology for my longtime devotion.

That's right. Apology.

That was the topic of the day.

Gosh, seriously...

Stop acting like I'm pathetic!

Director, I'll go.

No, no, no...

Have a seat. Have a seat here. Just sit.

Director, be careful.

- Hold on. - The apology...

Let me apologize to you from the bottom of my heart before you go.

Okay?

Stay there.

Director! Seriously!

It's okay. Sit down.

Sit! Sit!

- Wow. - Have a seat.

Have a seat. Come on.

Sit there.

Team Leader Seo Hye Jin.

I sincerely apologize to you.

Director, get up first.

Let's have a rational conversation, okay?

Please.

Please!

Please don't...

abandon me and the academy.

Get up. Get up, please!

I won't get up until you promise me.

Let's talk tomorrow.

Come here first. Come this way.

Come here!

Ms. Seo! Ms. Seo! No, no...

It's dangerous. Come here.

What?

- Hello. - Huh?

Hey, Lee Joon Ho. What are you doing here?

I know.

Get up first. Get up.

No, let go!

I won't get up until I resolve things with Seo Hye Jin.

Resolve things somewhere safer, then.

I said I won't leave!

Looks like they won't come back.

He must've thought of Seo Hye Jin while eating something tasty.

Kim Hyeon Tak is always like that.

Don't be a sissy.

What? This happens all the time.

I'd carry her on my back if I were the director.

Don't be jealous that he's treating her to an expensive drink.

Geez.

Director, please get up now. You must be tired.

I said I don't want to.

What if Ms. Seo catches a cold?

She can't.

No, she can't. So...

Hold onto me.

One, two, three! Be careful.

Director!

What's going on? What do I do?

What's going on?

What's this?

(dialogue)

Are you okay?

Be careful. Be careful. Hold me tightly!

B-Be careful...

Shit!

Geez.

Be careful. Be careful.

Hello.

Watch your legs. Watch your legs.

Gosh, what's this now?

I'm sorry. Please help him.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. Please turn up the heater. I'm sorry.

Mr. Lee, go home now.

Don't worry. Get home safely.

Take care.

My gosh. You must be cold.

No, I'm okay. I'm okay.

- Do you want this- - No, no.

I swear I'm okay.

I'm okay...

Confirmed.

Go to the teachers' office. I'll get you the heater from the storage.

There's a blanket on my desk. Use that.

Take your time. Take your time.

It's too dark.

I told you to use the blanket.

My clothes are all wet. That won't do anything.

Gosh, what do I do?

- Hold on. - No, no...

You'll get this wet.

- No, put it on. - It's okay. It's okay.

Stay here, then. I'll get another heater. Wait.

I'm really okay. I'm really okay.

Your hand is ice cold.

Wait here. I'll get you something warm.

Hold this.

Okay.

Are you still very cold?

I'm feeling better.

Seriously...

W-Why are you laughing?

Seriously...

I didn't think I'd see two adult men falling in the water.

My exam predictions are all wrong.

What does that mean?

Huh?

For about 10 years, my life has had no surprises.

The only thing was my students graduating

and new students coming in each year.

And the change in my bank account balance, maybe.

But since you joined us, every day has been full of trouble.

Things I've never experienced have been happening.

As you mentioned, I gave up on the ad modeling gig,

and I've been giving you secret lessons, too.

I gave a free lecture, which no experienced lecturers do.

And I experienced a major failure for the first time.

And you were in a time machine briefly, too.

You saw the young Lee Joon Ho, too.

Yes.

Did you not like that, by chance?

It's not that I disliked it, but...

it felt a bit unfamiliar.

You weren't scared?

Maybe I was.

I don't like it when things are unpredictable.

Same with the exam questions, life,

or relationships.

You're not shaking your hands anymore. Hold this.

I'll wait outside.

Take your clothes off and put them there. I'll dry them.

Can I tell you a secret?

A secret?

I've never respected Director Kim.

I can understand that.

But...

I respected him today. Although it was just a tiny bit.

Even though he got you into this mess?

I didn't think he'd kneel down.

I thought he'd make ridiculous excuses like last time, but...

It was a shock.

I thought, "You have to do that much...

to get what you want."

Yes, he can be slimy...

and cunning sometimes.

He acts like a child sometimes, as he did today.

What kind of child drinks like he did?

You're right.

Ms. Seo,

do you want to go back to the old days?

Before I came here.

Back when everything was predictable?

That's the plan.

I'm not asking about your plan. I'm asking how you feel.

I promised I wouldn't hold you back.

It's ridiculous for me to say this,

but Director Kim gave me the courage.

Either by kneeling down or embarrassing myself,

I need to say what I need to say.

You said you'd get me anything I want or need.

I need you, Ms. Seo.

You said to leave while you were letting me go.

I'm not talking about Choiseon Korean.

Tell me now if you want to go back to before I came here.

I'll try holding back one more time as hard as I can.

If you aren't asking what my plan is,

I don't really want to go back...

You knew, right?

Knew what?

How you really feel.

And how I feel, too.

No matter how much I think about it, there's no way you didn't know...

that Lee Joon Ho's first love was...

Seo Hye Jin.

What are you talking about?

And...

I can no longer just disregard it as first love.

My heart keeps spilling out because it keeps growing.

♫ Love was my greatest teacher ♫

♫ I knew it then ♫

♫ I know it now ♫

♫ For once in my life ♫

♫ I think I'm finally going to make it right ♫

♫ Years ago, I let you pass me by ♫

♫ But now's our time ♫

♫ You walked in my door, ♫

♫ and the love I had for you before ♫

♫ Came shining through just like a star above the cloud ♫

♫ I knew it then ♫

♫ I know it now ♫

♫ It's in your eyes as they were ♫

♫ It's how you call my name out loud ♫

♫ There's some kind of music in you ♫

♫ I knew it then ♫

[The Midnight Romance in Hagwon]

I just told you how I feel.

- You're crazy. - I like you.

Please think of me as a man.

- By chance, is this- - No.

Breaking news. Seo Hye Jin might quit.

She can't say no. The conditions are perfect.

I won't tell anyone what I saw today.

You can't get everything you want by bringing up first love.

Just remember that I like you.

All I can see is Seo Hye Jin.

You're so cheeky.

I do almost everything I set my mind to. You know, right?

♫ Came shining through just like a star ♫
