Wake up, Hayoung!

Why?

My grades are fine without it.

What about Ara?

That's not fair.

Appa wouldn't make me go.

I'm not going.

Hayoung, you don't have a choice.

(light music playing in waiting room)

Sam: And did you finish your homework?

Joon: No, I was up late last night.

Sam: Man, the teacher's gonna roast you.

Joon: Yeah, well, what's new?

Let me check in real fast.

Miss Chris.

Hi Joon.

-How are you today? -Wonderful.

-And you? -Wonderful.

(pen heavily grading paper)

(paper rustling)

What college do you wanna go to, Hayoung?

I don't know. UCLA?

Aim higher.

Stanford?

Excellent choice.

To get in, you have to bring your score up at least

400 points.

You're late compared to other students.

Oh.

Pre... sump... tuous?

Presumptuous.

You have to memorize all of these?

All 2,000.

Man, I never wanna go to hagwon.

Good luck with that.

In a few years, you won't have a choice.

Not if I become a dancer.

Mm, not like that you won't.

I wasn't trying.

I'll do it for real this time.

Ta-da!

Nice.

Alright, everybody take your seats.

If you don't know where you're sitting,

check the seating chart.

Steven, stop talking, go to your seat.

Alright. Let's get started.

Everybody, clear your desk.

Names and dates on top.

If you can't follow simple directions,

how do you expect to get into college?

Joon: She said that she was a good driver.

I swear, I don't know what happened.

Sam: That is not right.

Joon, Sam, Rose, late again.

Rose: Sorry.

Won't happen again.

Henry Teacher: Just take your seats.

Everybody's expected to come on time.

Unless you wanna spend more time with me.

James, I said put everything away,

including books and notebooks.

Come on, guys, don't make me repeat myself.

Alright, you're gonna have 65 minutes

to complete this test.

Beginning now.

-Unnie? -Hm?

Why are we here?

(garage door rattling)

(chain hits wall)

(laughs)

Not bad!

Say thank you.

Thank you.

Oh...

I get it.

Yeah, right.

It's not the same.

Don't worry about me.

Okay?

Hayoung: Three bed, two bath.

Ara and I could have our own room.

Can we go this weekend?

It's old and crusty.

Hey.

Hayoung, right?

-Mm-hm. -I'm Rose.

Um, thanks for saving my ass yesterday.

No problem.

Are you here for the whole summer?

Yeah.

How do you like it?

-Um... -I know, I feel the same.

(laughs) How long have you been going here?

Uh, two years, but it feels like forever.

Mrs. Moon basically, like, brainwashed my mom.

Alright, break's over!

Come on. (claps)

-Five more minutes. -Come on, can we get five more minutes,

-please, Mrs. Moon? -Okay, then we'll add five minutes after class.

Come on.

Good, good.

Shit first.

It's bad for you.

Literally everyone.

Okay, let's go. (laughs)

(whispers) Hey, do you wanna come over tomorrow?

-(whispers) I'll ask. -(whispers) Okay.

Henry Teacher: Alright, let's take a break.

Come back in five minutes.

What'd you get?

1,860?

I've never even got past 1,700.

What about you?

(continues in Korean)

Henry Teacher sucks.

(laughs) I've never had this much homework

in my life.

If my scores don't improve next week, I'm screwed.

-Are your parents strict? -Yeah.

My mom went to school here, UCLA.

That's why she wants me to do better.

But it's not like she uses her degrees anyway.

She just mooches off my dad.

What does your dad do?

He's a lawyer.

They met in school.

They're so obsessed that I go to a good college

and, ya know, carry on the family's name or whatever.

I'm sure you'll get in.

Have you seen my scores?

They'll get better.

Well, I have to get better or I'm doomed.

What do you mean?

Promise you won't tell anyone?

Promise.

Your mom or your dad?

My mom. My dad doesn't really care that much.

I can help you.

I have enough tutoring, okay?

I'm hopeless.

Not that.

-Did you look? -No!

-Okay, what did you get? -1,880. You?

I'm scared to look.

1,810?

My mom's gonna freak out!

1,810! That's insane, thank you!

Sam: Yo, how the hell did you get an 1,810?

-I'm just smart, I guess. -(scoffs) Yeah, right.

Hayoung, this is Sam.

Yo.

And Joon.

Joon's turning 17 this Saturday.

You know, my parents are goin' outta town,

so I'm havin' a small party.

You should come.

I want to, but my mom's kind of strict.

Rose: Come on, we literally study all day every day.

She'll understand if you just take a little break.

Joon: Yeah, come through.

It would be more fun if you're there.

-Okay, I'll figure something out. -(Rose squeals)

Rose: Should I pick you up?

Um... I'll text you.

Okay, I'll get the shots ready and get on the way.

Okay.

(reluctantly) Okay.

Ooh, no, that was way too close.

Oh, come on, you would've loved it.

-You wish. -Oh, really?

-So what, it's just me? -Yeah.

(Hayoung laughs)

Um, where's the bathroom?

Uh, it's up the stairs, to the left.

You want me to come with you?

-No, I'm okay. -You sure?

Okay.

Alright, alright. Let's reset this...

and let's just play another game.

No.

Joon: Hey, there you are.

Rose thought I should check up on you.

She was passed out a minute ago.

Yeah, that's Rose, you know?

She's just up and then down

and then up and then down, just...

Hey, you wanna see a trick?

Okay.

Joon: Okay.

Close your eyes.

Why?

Just trust me.

Let me see your arm.

Can you feel the difference?

Open your eyes.

My Umma forced me to learn how to write with both hands.

Somehow she thought it would, like, make me smarter,

but not sure that it actually helps.

-That's easy. -Oh, really?

-I bet I can learn it in a week. -(laughs) Okay.

Bet.

Yeah?

We have a lot of homework.

Rose.

Yeah, her parents are cool, they don't care.

(door slams)

Hayoung: That's a yes.

Close your eyes.

So?

Not good enough.

You serious? It's identical.

Yeah, it needs a little more work.

(scoffs) This is a scam.

-You just felt-- -Alright, alright, alright, you win.

(Joon whistles)

Which one do you want?

I'll go for the dolphin.

Alright, good choice.

Where do you want it?

Looks good.

One day, I want a real one.

You know, I could give you one.

-No way. -Yeah, my cousin taught me how.

We could get matching ones.

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

We can just hang out in your room.

Once it's finished, I promise.

Okay, I probably should just stay in and study anyways.

We have testing on Monday.

Sam: Miss Goody Two-Shoes.

Okay!

You barely talk to him. He gets sad, ya know?

Why? He's the one who left.

He would've stayed if he could.

You know he talks about you all the time?

If you're nicer, I'll ask him to come to your recital.

We just hang out here and there.

I'm only telling you this because you're my friend, okay?

Just... be careful.

Careful how?

Joon's a good guy, he's a good friend,

but everyone knows that he's a player.

Like, everyone.

His longest relationship is a month.
