[The Midnight Romance in Hagwon]

[Episode 16]

Did she say Seo Hye Jin...

isn't just screwed but totally screwed?

- Well-
- Did she say this academy is...

totally, completely, entirely hopeless?

Yes.

So, she told everyone to escape for that reason.

Doesn't it make you anxious to serve ...

someone like her?

It's not like I'd be serving her.

Pros communicate through contracts.

Should I put the resignation letter in the director's office?

I... I'll let him know.

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim.

Have you heard from the Assistant Director?

I haven't.

By the way, what files was she talking about?

[Resignation Letter]

Ms. Seo.

Buy me a drink.

Congratulations, Director.

We sent 100 students to Seoul National University!

- Congratulations!
- Congratulations!

He was on the wait list for the humanities. It's nothing to brag.

It's Park Yo Seb, right?

Yes. Yo Seb's mother gave you this. It's rice cakes.

Please enjoy them.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Don't wait for more wait list acceptances.

Order the acceptee banner.

Got it.

Kim Chae Yoon hit a home run with words.

The pitcher was Seo Hye Jin, even.

Did you get a hold of Lee Myeong Joon?

Let them have him. He's just a fly to me.

A ton of students have already left...

and Kim Hyeon Tak can't match the salary.

Seo Hye Jin basically admitted that she can't get back up.

But why, of all people, Min Jin...

Do you know how to play chess?

Yes, I just know the rules.

The lowest rank is called a "pawn."

It gets promoted if it enters the enemy's camp all the way.

Normally, to a queen.

The moment the pawn reaches that point, he becomes a game changer.

Choi Hyeong Seon moved out of the apartment.

That's-

Yes, she used to give private lessons illegally at night there.

Yes.

She must've thought I'd use that against her. She moved out immediately.

To see how Choi Hyeong Seon behaves...

and let the stupid Lee Joon Ho know who he messed with,

let's get things moving.

Sweetened the deal for me.

Create a situation where

I have to stay with the academy.

So that even Woo Seung Hee could accept it.

Are you that important to Woo Seung Hee?

You know, I...

If I said, "I'll replace Seo Hye Jin," with my own mouth,

would anyone take it seriously?

I'll work on it.

Drink.

Make it clear to Kim Hyeon Tak.

Drink more.

I'm basically saving the country by doing this.

Why did you bring kimchi at this hour?

Kimchi was just an excuse.

I came to see how you were doing.

I have nothing to give you.

Just give me some water.

I'll leave soon.

Okay.

Were you studying?

Just going through the motions.

I won't act ignorant.

I heard from my husband.

He said you're in the worst situation right now.

Lee Joon Ho is crawling in front of me?

Would I believe that?

Woo Seung Hee betrayed you first, right?

Using Ms. Seo's files.

Hey, how could you think that?

It's a serious decision I made myself.

Can't you just tell me?

What happened with Woo Seung Hee?

Just keep asking me.

See if I answer.

Okay.

My whole body hurts.

I feel like I was beaten up.

Of course you do.

It basically means your whole life was trashed.

That's true, but...

it hurts even more because of Joon Ho.

I think Joon Ho matured all at once.

That's a good thing.

It'd be worse if he wanted to play with you like a child.

So? Is he no longer fun?

Did you prefer it when he stepped all over your life?

It was nice.

I experienced things I never had before

and I was loved more than I deserved.

But now...

What about now?

I'm just worried.

What are you worried about?

He's still young and smart.

Not Joon Ho, but me.

At first, I was so scared to let him in my life,

but now...

I can't imagine being without him.

Aren't I so silly?

Whether it's defamation or insult,

tell me whoever you want to sue.

Let me make a fortune, too.

Thank you for the kimchi.

Cheer up. I'll go.

Okay, bye.

Why are you outside?

Are you telepathic or something?

What's going on?

Were you drinking all this time?

Lee Myeong Joon is such a lush.

I thought I was dying.

You know how many people you fought today, right?

- Was I supposed to keep count?
- Aren't you tired?

I'm tired.

You should've just gone home, then.

I missed you.

I called you, but you didn't answer.

I left the phone inside.

That's why I came.

I was going to leave if the lights were off.

But I wanted to see you if they were on.

I missed you so, so much.

You look totally smitten with me.

I want to stay a bit longer,

but you're dressed too lightly.

I'm okay.

I'm okay, too.

I'll go.

Okay.

Sleep tight.

Unload all of your worries with me.

You can do that, right?

Yes.

Hold on.

I want you to put me to bed.

Or you can stay.

[Resignation Letter]

I don't know what to say.

Team Leader Min Hee Joo of the social studies department

and Team Leader Jang Il Do of the English department requested a one-on-one, too.

Are they trying to give me something like this?

By the way, why is Lee Myeong Joon quiet?

I thought he'd be the first one to quit.

Enjoy.

Let's talk while eating.

By the way, can I take a photo?

Sure, go ahead.

Thank you for the meal.

Do you have a lot of followers?

Well, no.

I don't have many friends since I was away from school for long

and I'm too busy at the academy.

Well...

I've been hearing about what's going on.

You have no reason to be busy, do you?

Pardon?

I thought Team Leader Seo had been losing students.

I think she's continuing to research.

You must feel guilty.

Team Leader Seo pays you out of pocket, right?

She can smell that stale stench instinctively.

But she hasn't said anything yet.

She's acting cool, isn't she?

She doesn't want you to worry.

It's okay.

I'm trying to be helpful.

There's a part-time position where you get

paid monthly and get a scholarship as well.

Send the new address to the Special Class students.

Don't just message them. Give them the physical notes.

Okay.

Make sure no one goes to the apartment like an idiot.

Tighten the security, too.

Okay.

You're trying to make money, anyway.

I just want you to feel at ease.

Why are you hesitating so much? You're hurting my feelings.

It doesn't look like a normal TA position.

You're smart.

Are you curious what you'd be doing?

Yes.

Turn that thing off, then. I'll tell you.

Pardon?

Stop recording.

She innocently asked, "Can I take a photo?"

But she was recording the whole time.

I like her. She's so clever.

She reminds me of the young Seo Hye Jin.

She's very close to Seo Hye Jin.

It might not work.

Didn't you hear her saying she'd send a resume?

Kids like her can smell a better deal

and go after it instinctively.

How could she say no to that much money?

Don't worry, okay?

Hey, Ha Yool.

Are you going to the academy?

Yes.

You, too?

Korean?

How are things there? Was it really the best choice?

I'm not sure.

This is my first time going there.

I see.

Well, Ms. Min Ji.

Yes.

I'm happy I ran into you. It's good to see you.

Me, too. I'm happy to see you, too.

By chance, could you relay a message to Ms. Seo?

Is it something you can't say in person?

I can't contact her because I feel too guilty.

What is it? If you need to return the textbooks-

No, it's not that.

I want to thank her for everything.

She told me I can think and act on my own.

Tell her I'll keep that in mind.

I did switch because of my mom,

but I really like Ms. Seo.

I'll make sure to tell her.

But I liked you, too, Ms. Min Ji.

Ms. Seo is a bit scary.

I was happy that you were there.

Would you like something to drink?

I need to go to the academy.

Oh, right.

I'll go now.

You two worked hard on the classes and textbooks.

She said she'd give me a scholarship if I brought her Mr. Lee's

class material, students' and parents' contact.

I said I'd send my resume, entrance exam score sheet, and other documents.

Do you want to join them?

Yes.

Why would you tell us this, then?

I've been thinking. Choiseon Korean is the ultimate opponent.

What if I worked as Ms. Seo's spy there-

You're out of your mind.

I wanted to record the conversation, but I got caught.

- What?
- What?

She asked me to get something from Director Choi, too. For example-

Min Ji.

You don't have to tell us.

She said I have a lot to do.

Min Ji.

Do you feel very hurt by it?

Yes.

She treated me like Yoon Ji Seok and Lee Myeong Joon because I'm poor.

It makes me so angry.

I apologize on her behalf.

You don't have to send her your resume. Don't.

What's more annoying is that I couldn't say no on the spot.

I started thinking, "What can I do with that money?"

It's okay. You're human.

No.

I would've been in trouble if it wasn't for Ha Yool.

I ran into her on the way here.

She asked me to tell you...

that she liked you a lot.

And she said she liked me, too.

I was able to become a good teacher thanks to you.

I'm so ashamed that I completely forgot about that.

I'm just a TA, but I'm a teacher, too.

I want to become cool.

Yes, you're cool now.

You don't have to become a spy.

I want to help you.

I'm your TA.

I appreciate the sentiment.

I want to be helpful to you,

but I think I'm only burdening you.

It makes me upset.

♫ Since I loved you ♫

♫ When you'll be all alone trying to be seen ♫

♫ Chasing whatever then ♫

♫ I called it dreams ♫

♫ But you came after all ♫

♫ Said we'll go away ♫

♫ And things were simple then ♫

♫ Just like they've always been ♫

♫ Will our love ever end? ♫

♫ I'll never know ♫

What?

Min Ji.

What's going on? Min Ji.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Min Ji? What's wrong?

I thought we just needed to care for the teachers,

but I didn't even think of this.

You're about to pass out.

Drink some water, at least.

I'm crazy. I'm out of my mind.

What was I doing...

being all stiff in front of the students?

If I just do nothing, I'd be lesser than human.

What are you trying to do?

I'll bite Woo Seung Hee's ankle like a bug or something.

You'd get stepped on if you don't do it right.

Then, I'll lower myself...

and beg. I'm not going to act superior.

- Try to be rational.
- I don't want to.

I really don't want to.

It's not Woo Seung Hee.

We need to destroy them properly if we're going to.

I met Mr. Pyo yesterday.

I got a bad feeling from it,

but I just realized why.

Wow, I feel alive now.

Why aren't you eating?

Did Seo Hye Jin make you hangover soup or something?

There's no way she did that. Women are-

You're scared of Woo Seung Hee, right?

What?

She's parading around with Yoon Ji Seok

and she promises everyone Ms. Seo's files.

But you can't make a peep because...

you're scared, right?

You should watch what you say.

I haven't decided to be on your side yet.

I'm saying you don't have to be afraid of her.

[Hall of Fame]

I have no regrets.

[Daechi Chase]

So?

The students who are about to be in 12th grade...

My duty is to teach them up to the first semester.

Duty?

I didn't know you cared about impressive things like that.

Moreover, we need to buy us some time...

so your position becomes secure.

What?

You're saying my position isn't secure?

Pyo Sang Seob...

Choiseon Korean's assistant director has no idea what's going on, either.

Choi Hyeong Seon apparently said she runs the academy on her own.

The moment I join Choiseon Korean without you,

I'd become a kite with its string cut.

I should make a move after you prove your influence here.

Or if you wrote something down on paper with Director Choi, show me that.

Did you come up with that yourself, Lee Myeong Joon?

Seo Hye Jin has been meeting Director Choi.

What Choi Hyeong Seon really wants is Seo Hye Jin.

The worker bee who'd gather students quietly and give her honey.

The one who desires to be the queen bee would only get ousted.

Yes.

I wonder if Director Choi would need you if she gets Seo Hye Jin.

That's what I'm uncertain about.

[Victory]

I'll be waiting for your call, Assistant Director.

You got good results for the entrance exam.

You must've done okay, too.

Probably not as well as me, though.

I'm happy.

It's rewarding.

Yes, that ends up becoming your assets.

It'd help you come back, too.

Come back?

Would I...

be able to come back?

Of course. You're still young.

You're underestimating your achievement.

You destroyed me properly.

How am I supposed to make a living from now on?

You came all the way here to ask me that?

Yes.

I thought you'd know the answer.

You're a fighter.

You barged into the school and cut the teacher's throat.

You put out an ad to provoke me.

And you suddenly acted like a mentor.

You're a very impressive person.

That impressive Seo Hye Jin...

got lost.

What would you do if you were me?

If I were you,

I'd join Choiseon.

Along with my beloved student

and be on the big stage I created.

Teacher-Pupil Tag Team Season 2 after the sensational scandal.

We'll use Lee Shi Woo as a hype man, too.

If so, everyone will clamor and get in line.

I'm sure you'd get mocked at first.

But you two are good lecturers.

The No. 1 student of Heewon High takes your class, too.

Once people hear about that,

you'd be able to dominate the exam retakers' market immediately.

People would pay money for that scandal.

Are you interested?

You aren't very insightful.

You're supposed to be a Korean teacher.

I'm the only one who can come up with a scenario like this in Daechi-dong.

But I don't think anything went according...

- to your scenario so far.
- That can't be.

You sent a spy to our free lecture, right?

To check on what we were talking about.

And you ended up losing Shi Woo to us.

Lee Shi Woo was inadequate.

"We have something in common.

So let's dominate this town." You said that to me.

But I turned you down.

And Mr. Pyo Sang Seob...

That was painful, right?

It was the same for you, right?

You didn't know he wouldn't be interested in the stolen class material.

You tried to take over Chanyeong High using my class material as a hostage,

but it failed, too.

What exactly went according to your scenario that you're so proud of?

Seo Hye Jin is here. Ta-da.

You're asking me to help you make a living.

Will you still insist that it didn't go my way?

I never asked you to help me.

You did from the beginning.

I asked what you'd do if you were me.

I figured I'd be doing the right thing if I did the exact opposite.

It'd make me human.

You couldn't even figure out the exam creator's intention.

You have zero insights.

Bring me a glass of water.

Continue.

You should've noticed when I was suddenly acting like a mentor.

That I was walking a different path than you.

I mocked you for being a scoundrel. You didn't get that?

No. It actually woke me up.

A long list of acceptees.

There's something I want besides that.

Three years of reading, writing, laughing, chatting,

dozing off, and waking up...

can change someone's life.

That's what I realized.

They say knowledge can punish you.

That's why you failed miserably.

Say something high and mighty on social media instead.

You'd get popular.

I'm telling you not to act morally superior here.

I told you not to speak of ethics. You don't listen.

Acting morally superior...

is your specialty.

[Victory]

[Power Off]

[Grade 1 Formula. Daechi Choiseon Korean.]

I felt weird whenever I came here.

Why is the director's office all the way in the back?

And why is the desk so far from the door?

Why do I have to walk so much to meet you?

That's what authority is.

It's something you never got to have.

How pitiful.

- Me?
- If you've truly been respected...

If you work hard to be respected,

you wouldn't mistake a room like this for authority.

Ms. Seo Hye Jin.

Woo Seung Hee met my TA.

- So?
- I'm not sure what they talked about.

But I think you'd know.

I don't know, either.

I never said I needed a TA.

Think about how it felt when you sent Shi Woo to us.

Or remember when you got Shi Woo to write some weird memorandum.

I didn't make him do that.

How about when you told Mr. Pyo to look at my files?

You love talking about your scenario.

I think Woo Seung Hee is writing one, too.

She willingly sold her soul like you did.

Without an ounce of shame.

I'd believe it if you told me you were twins.

When you created a story about Mr. Lee and me,

you must've been totally in sync.

Looks like you found your soulmate, Director.

I'm here to see Director.

She's with a guest right now.

Tell her Lee Joon Ho is here.

From Daechi Chase.

Let them in.

You should've called me if you wanted to switch academies.

I'm disappointed.

I know you don't like me.

There's someone who likes me here. Why would I go to you?

Have a seat. Ms. Seo likes to joke around-

I'm disappointed in you, too.

If you got a call from Seo Hye Jin-

If you witnessed the situation, try to-

You should've discussed it with me first.

We wouldn't have been in this situation, then.

Discuss?

You can't be making contact with my teachers without me.

I recommend that. Contact them directly.

Could you, please-

Shouldn't you greet an elder first?

Do you really expect that from me?

Assistant Director is amazing at finding people's weaknesses,

but she can't win them over.

You got properly betrayed by your right-hand man today.

Manage the contracts yourself...

for the future of Choiseon Korean.

I'll let you talk. I'll leave now.

Fighting.

Soulmates.

Fighting.

Will they split up?

Who knows.

Hello.

What are you two doing here?

We just saw Director Choi.

Let's grab a tea if you're free.

Let's sit and talk.

You moved out of the apartment.

You didn't discuss that with me, either.

You keep using the word "discuss."

Did you discuss with me before you...

interviewed my TA?

What would I discuss with someone who can't even plant a spy near me?

Let's sit and talk.

I ended up giving you a hint.

You basically showed me the answer sheet.

If Choi Hyeong Seon and Woo Seung Hee split up.

Are you worried?

No.

I thought I should be more harsh to Director Choi.

I'm sorry, but let's talk about the rest later. I have more stuff to do.

Oh, okay.

Seo Hye Jin is a cunning thing.

I don't know what she told you, but-

I'd believe it if you told me you were twins.

It's all nonsense.

You know that.

How could you say that I-I was trying to plant a spy?

Do you have a secret I should find out about?

Of course I do.

Try finding it out.

Director Choi Hyeong Seon.

How much time do you need?

A year? Two years?

Or about 10 years, the same amount of time you spent at Daechi Chase?

While cheering you on to try again even if you fail?

Try to be...

respectful when you talk.

We're partners.

You deserve to be a partner when you're on the same level as me.

You don't understand the character of the people you want.

You don't know what Seo Hye Jin is planning.

You don't even know what my secret is.

If you're that slow, just do what you're told to do properly.

Sit when I say, "sit."

Listen when I say, "listen."

And don't do what I didn't tell you to do.

I won't send any of my teachers here.

I'm happy to hear that.

I'll manage things myself.

I'm thinking of hiring Director Kim Hyeon Tak, too.

He seems like a generous leader.

What?

How did he tolerate working with someone like you for 10 years?

It's eight years and nine months.

How dare you?

Let go! Let go!

Director!

L-Let go! Let go!

Director, let go! Let go!

Director! Director!

- Director, let go!
- Hold on!

Hold on!

Okay, Directors, you'll...

let go at a count of three, okay?

Okay. One, two, three!

Let go and talk!

Again! Let's try again!

- Let go, Director!
- One!

One!

Please!

Director, l-let go.

L-Let go first!

- Director!
- Just talk instead!

Pull her. Pull her.

- Director! Director!
- Move her fingers!

Move her fingers!

I slept too much, didn't I?

Are you awake?

Let me see. Hold on.

You feel less hot.

How do you feel? Are you okay?

Yes, I feel better.

Drink some.

You must've been shocked.

I've been inattentive.

You haven't slept or eaten, and you've been crying a lot, getting dehydrated.

It's okay.

What? Do you need something?

My phone. I need to call Min Ji.

I called her. I called her.

That wasn't a movie earlier, right?

Choi Hyeong Seong and Woo Seung Hee.

The video is more popular than most hit movies.

The students filmed it.

According to the rumor,

they might sue each other since they're both furious.

Wow.

I don't even have the energy to laugh.

I should make you exercise starting the spring break.

How can I live with you forever at this rate?

You'd do what?

Why are you so surprised? You're hurting my feelings.

Aren't you going to live with me?

Did you have dinner?

I had some snacks. Why? Are you hungry?

I want ice cream.

Ice cream?

Hold on.

Can you have it?

Right now? I'm about to say something important-

That's why.

Get me some.

Okay.

What flavor?

Okay.

You'll let go at a count of three, okay?

- You can't film.
- Isn't that Director?

You can't film! You can't film!

Wow, this is crazy.

Why are they so vicious?

Isn't it crazy?

Yes.

My mom should start working out.

To run an academy, it looks like

you need to be strong, fit, and gutsy.

Let's leave before the buses stop running.

Should I buy a car?

You could if you can afford it. But why?

I'm sad you always worry about catching the last bus.

I don't need stuff like that.

What do you think taxis are for?

I feel guilty not having a car as a boyfriend.

- Sir.
- Yes.

We'll have a bottle of soju and today's drinking snack.

- Okay!
- Okay.

All of a sudden?

Let's have an in-depth conversation.

Okay.

What's the topic of your thesis?

My thesis? All of a sudden?

Tell me.

I can talk about it all night if you let me.

That's why I ordered alcohol.

The period is the Northern Song Dynasty.

Hold on.

Let me hear the reason first.

I don't care if you can't afford a car forever.

I can just buy you a car tomorrow or something.

That's touching, but how does that concern my thesis?

Instead,

don't ever complain about being a poor graduate student.

Sorry.

If you want an expensive meal, ask me, not Mr. Lee.

Get a doctor's degree if you want to.

If you don't want to graduate, you never have to.

Anyway, see through your study subject completely.

So, I can't brag about making money as an academy teacher.

What? What's wrong?

How do I deserve someone like you?

How cute.

Take it.

I like you.

I can't imagine myself without you.

- If so-
- But...

I never imagined our life together.

Are you disappointed?

Very much.

Why don't you start imagining that today-

To imagine such a thing,

my future is too bleak.

You can get the students back.

It's not that.

The academy.

I think I could quit.

The year you started college,

Director Kim bought me a used car.

I remember.

You got a car when you had no license.

That was enough to give me confidence.

I was always the poorest one among my friends.

But it felt like my status changed.

I was so happy to work then.

I even forgot why I made money later.

Because money itself became the goal.

I started to make tuition money.

But I neglected my studies. I barely managed not to flunk.

But...

when I lost most of my students, I suddenly realized...

why I tried to make money.

Isn't that funny?

It's not.

You said you destroyed everything I achieved,

but no.

I don't think so.

I guess you could say I finally removed the blindfold after all these years.

Then I realized...

what I was supposed to study a long time ago.

I can't guarantee the result.

I don't even know how long it'd take.

But if I achieve something, then,

you should give me...

the shiny diploma.

I'll give you everything you ask for.

Thank you.

But whatever you want, let me support you.

I'll wait for your response.

How sweet.

Mom's going to work.

Hold on, Mom!

Yes?

What?

Hold on, Mom.

Have a seat here for a second.

What? Do you need money?

Just have a seat.

What?

Mom, let me get married.

I need to.

Do you have a woman?

I'm asking because I do.

What does she do?

How old is she, and how long has it been?

It's Ms. Nam Cheong Mi.

All of my married seniors said...

you recognize the person you'd marry from Day 1.

I think I'll marry Ms. Nam.

You know the apartment you bought in Pyeongchon?

Let me have it.

Start an academy there, too.

I'll take it as a wedding gift.

You came in early.

What are you reading so intently?

You didn't even notice I was here.

I'm watching videos of star lecturers.

I'm watching your and Mr. Lee's lectures, too.

Me?

I felt motivated.

Because my colleagues are too powerful.

Do you always come in this early? I didn't know.

I do. I'm an ambitious type.

I'll let you finish.

- Good morning.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- You came in early.
- Of course.

Let me see.

Don't joke around, and be serious.

I just told you.

How could I be more serious than this?

"What will you do with that degree?

When can you become a professor?"

She's the first person who didn't ask that.

She makes me feel so assured.

Ms. Nam likes you, too? Really?

Are you worried about her instead of me?

Did you seduce her properly?

Start an academy in Pyeongchon for her.

I think I could seduce her better then.

Are you crazy?

Why would you go all the way there?

We might as well have a showdown here.

What?

[Assistant Director's Office]

Why are you staring at me like that?

Everyone knows I've been wanting to start an academy.

I know, but...

Wait...

so...

Academies are all about branding, too.

You've been working so hard on this. It'd be a waste to let it die.

So, you mean-

Maintain the teachers' salaries.

You have to show support with money.

And we need to aim for the next semester.

Have another major hiring event like last time.

You must want something in return.

Tell me. You can have the assistant director's office tomorrow...

I mean, you can have it today.

No, it's not like that.

Gosh, well...

If so...

I do have one request.

I want you to make Ms. Nam the academy's main lecturer.

Team Leader Seo...

can't be the face of our academy anymore.

I agree, but-

Ms. Nam is very talented and has star power.

She's very cute, too.

- She does qualify. She's meticulous, too.
- Yes.

I understand why you think Seo Hye Jin won't be good, but

why did you choose Ms. Nam?

She can make a billion a year easily.

I want to help her grow and give her to my son.

You mean the academy?

No.

I meant Ms. Nam.

Let's switch.

No, you drink too much coffee.

There are so many other drinks. Why the jujube ssanghwacha?

Makes me look old.

I want you to live a long time.

You don't look old. You're pretty.

Try it first. I'll get you something else if you hate it.

I don't like it.

You said new things have been happening because of me.

Was it the day we kissed for the first time?

Hey.

I'll let you try new food and take you to new places.

Someone's willing to invest in the academy until we get reestablished.

It's Manager Kim.

That's great. That's really great.

Why do you look so sad, then?

Manager Kim wants to replace the lead lecturer.

She doesn't think Hye Jin can be the face of the academy.

I'm sorry.

It's so hard for me to say no.

She wants Ms. Nam.

Wow, I'm disappointed in Manager Kim.

How could Seung Gyu's mother...

Team Leader Lee would be very disappointed.

He must be dreaming of becoming the hero of the academy.

What are you talking about? I won't renew his contract.

Geez...

What do you think, Team Leader Seo?

I'll waive my vote.

What?

I'll waive.

[Daechi Chase]

Isn't there a fancy term for...

buying a government position?

"Maegwanmaegik"?

Come on. This is an investment.

Why are you laughing?

Do you really think I bought her the position?

A student once asked if "maegwanmaegik" was a kind of magic.

Gosh, kids...

I'll even miss the ones who said ridiculous things.

Gosh, I'm so sad, Team Leader Seo.

Are you done packing?

Yes, pretty much.

Shouldn't you call a moving truck?

You've been here for 10 years.

I've been moving a lot of it.

Please take good care of Min Ji.

She needs to care for me. She's more experienced than me.

Mr. Lee protested for four days, asking for Min Ji.

Don't forget that I supported you.

I'll buy you a drink.

You're free today, right?

Maybe next time.

I have an important plan today.

Huh?

I'm teaching my last class.

Train yourself to articulate your thoughts.

When you can articulate your thoughts into clean sentences,

you can understand other people's writings easily, too.

Without that training, going through a ton of workbooks

would only mean you let luck decide your grades.

Studying like that could get you...

a good grade if you were in good condition that day.

But what would happen if you mistakenly think that's really your grade?

Yes.

You'll be crying on TV the day you get the entrance exam result.

If you properly...

train your vocabulary, sentence structure, and expression skills,

you'd finally have a steady grade...

and your studies will become your forever assets.

- Understand?
- Yes.

Any questions?

Call me "Teacher."

Teacher.

Tell me about your first love.

- Hey, Seo Hye Jin.
- Yes.

You use advanced skills sometimes.

Mr. Lee, are you married?

Not yet.

I'm begging someone to marry me.

Mr. Lee, fighting.

Gosh, seriously.

I might as well ask you since you're a girl.

- Am I a girl?
- Yeah...

An apartment in Gangnam.

Do you need stuff like that to get her to say yes?

Probably not.

Do I need to put balloons in a hotel room, buy a designer purse,

and prepare an event?

Probably not.

How about this, then?

I've been carrying it around for a while.

I think my girlfriend will start school with a bunch of guys. So...

I want to let them know she's taken.

Would she like that?

♫ And I ran wild ♫

♫ Can you remember when... ♫

Please answer me.

I'm really nervous right now.

Would she like it?

♫ It was simple time then ♫

♫ And things were simple then ♫

♫ As if they've always been ♫

♫ Since I loved you ♫

♫ When you'll be all alone trying to be seen ♫

So pretty.

It suits you well.

♫ I followed dreams ♫

Do you think I could get married?

Probably?

Do you still want to hear about my first love?

No.

Can I finish the class if you don't have any questions?

Yes.

♫ I'll never know ♫

♫ Open to page sixty-four ♫

♫ We'll study what came before ♫

♫ Books are binding, but there's so much more ♫

♫ This little schools just a race ♫

♫ But I can tell by your grace ♫

♫ History will one day know your face ♫

♫ Cause you got the wit ♫

[The Midnight Romance in Hagwon]

♫ You hold the whole world between your eyes ♫

♫ Oh, it's so easy to see ♫

♫ Just don't forget about me ♫

♫ You could sail to the moon ♫

♫ Make snow in mid-June ♫
