Where are you going?
You're seriously not going to go to the hospital?
Wait... I'll get you a taxi.
Forget it.
Don't do it.
Why? Is this the time for you to be like this right now?
I said, your Father collapsed.
I realize that your relationship with your Father isn't the best
but it's your priority to go to the hospital right now.
- It has nothing to do with me. - How can it have nothing to do with you?
Please just leave me alone.
I'm begging you.
No, I won't.
How can I just leave you alone?
When I clearly know that you'll regret it.
How can I leave you alone when I can clearly see that it's hurting and tormenting you?
Wait... I'll call you a taxi.
Come out there, okay?
Oh yeah... I shouldn't be coming empty-handed.
It's okay. There's no need.
It doesn't matter for you, but it's different for me.
I've been taught that you don't go empty-handed to places like this.
You go on ahead. I'll go get some refreshments.
You came.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Where's Secretary Yoon?
I sent him home.
He's busy enough with work, I can't ask him to do things like this too.
This isn't even anything serious...
I just had a brief dizzy spell from my blood pressure.
I shouldn't have called you.
So this is how you took care of your Mom?
You took care of her when I should've been the one.
I never thought of how difficult it must've been for you to do it alone.
There's no excuse I can give you for it even if I had ten mouths.
Just what kind of a person I was to you...
and why you got angry with me...
I know it all myself. I know, but...
- but still, to me... - No.
You don't know.
No matter what happens...
I don't think I'll be able to forgive you.
It's a relief to hear that it's nothing serious.
I'll be leaving now then.
Oh, okay.
It's really late, isn't it?
Go on home.
- We can continue our conversation later. - I won't...
be coming back to the hospital again.
Can we...
just walk like this for a while?
If I don't at least hold onto someone's hand like this for a while...
I feel like I'm going to lose my way forever.
I'm being discharged today.
Congratulations.
All the doctors were really shocked...
at how fast my wounds healed since my body is made so strong.
Must be nice...
Since your head is made of steel, and your body is like an amoeba.
Amoeba...
Anyway...
As I promised, I'll make you smile once before I leave today.
For your information... I don't smile very easily.
Don't worry.
Because I didn't come without being prepared myself.
Okay then... I'm going to get started.
If an almond dies... what do you think it becomes?
Diamond.
You don't actually think that's funny...
This was just... a warm-up.
Then why don't you... give it a real try?
Okay, this is a similar genre.
- If there are several Poo bears? - Poodle.
- When a frog eats an octopus? - Frogpus?
What if Na Na of Teletubbies was to come to earth?
Earth-Na.
- If 'Ppo' was to leave the earth? - Popeye?
- The food Ttubi eats? - Doo bee doo wop?
Okay... a dog stepped on an ant walking by and killed it.
What do you think they yelled out simultaneously?
Dog, I'm sorry.
The opposite of a private car?
You can't guess this one, can you?
What is it?
What is the opposite of a private car?
Big car.
The opposite of a private car is... big car. (Word play on private, which is also 'small')
Why don't you give it a rest?
Because it's not the least bit funny.
I'll be going then.
Wait, Han Na... I'll be sure to make you laugh next time.
I promise, okay? Han Na...
What are you doing over there?
You're scribbling on the walls now?
Come here and take a look at this.
- What is that? - Your goal for the competition coming up.
It's just one extra cm above your best record.
How is this 2m 31cm?
I don't know... anyways, this is 2m 31cm in our room.
So you have to make sure to look at this every time you pass by it.
That way you can easily jump over this.
And what if I can't jump it?
Hey... then how can you call yourself a high jump athlete?
This is for a low jump athlete!
You had it really easy while I've been gone, haven't you?
Look at all of you with your mind elsewhere when the Nationals is right around the corner.
I don't need to watch a video to clearly see how lazy you've been in my absence!
Seung Ri...
Are you by any chance being like this to us because we didn't visit you at the hospital?
What bunch of nonsense...
You guys... you think I'd be having you do all this over something like that?
But, you awful scoundrels...
how could not a single one of you come visit when I was in the hospital for a full week?
Then I'm right... I'm right.
You're being like this to us right now because of that!
What is this?
Son Jong Min... I told you that it's not.
Do I look like someone who'd hold a grudge like that?
Seriously, you awful scoundrels...
None of you have an ounce of loyalty that you can speak of...
What are you all staring at so wide-eyed?
Taking turns... 30 more reps of sit-ups. Start.
- Seung Ri... - Start!
One!
Two!
Do it to the beat of my count. Three!
Four!
Should I start over from the beginning?
- No! - Move it faster!
Five!
Six!
Son Jong Min... do it correctly!
Seven!
Eight!
Hey, transfer student.
You're just overflowing with energy today.
Did everyone see Gu Jae Hee?
Energetically like this...
add an extra 100 reps to your current count.
- Excuse me? - What?
This is so annoying!
This is hard enough as is already! Did you eat eel for all that energy or what?
I hate you!
Son Jong Min... stop your nagging and do it right!
Seung Ri! I didn't have any eel like him!
Seriously!
Hurry up and do it! Get to it!
What was that?
I wonder if by any chance... Tae Joon likes me a little?
I guess... he has been strangely nice to me lately.
No, no... Tae Joon thinks that I'm a boy.
No...
Then... could it mean that Tae Joon also likes boys?
No... I can't even imagine it... no... that's unimaginable.
What are you saying is so unimaginable?
No, it's nothing.
Hey... what kind of thoughts do you get when you see pictures like this?
What is it?
It's pretty.
What about it do you find so pretty?
What do you mean, what do I find pretty? It's all pretty.
The eyes are pretty... and the nose is pretty too.
Then if you were asked out on a date, could you do that?
Isn't that a given? I'd be totally grateful.
Kang Tae Joon... you like men?
What?
Men like these...
What the heck?
You little brat!
I was just having some fun!
Are you going to practice your jumps?
It's 2m 30cm.
Min Hyun Jae, you start.
It's still much better than the last time.
I tell you this all the time...
but you have a tendency to jump too prematurely all the time.
If your first move is too early, then it carries on through to the end.
Yes.
It's okay, I'll do it.
It's something I've been doing.
Don't you know that I'm your training partner with our current records?
It's okay. Go get ready.
Kang Tae Joon, what are you doing? Aren't you going to get ready?
Go on.
Instead of counting internally, sing a song instead.
That seemed to work better to match the timing.
What song do you sing?
A Frog Boy.
Again.
Kang Tae Joon... again.
Yes.
Why are you like this all of a sudden?
Your balance is totally off.
Are you worried about something?
Are you dating by any chance?
There's nothing going on.
Everything boils down to those one to two seconds in high jumping.
If you don't dial your tune perfectly like an FM station
you'll fail unconditionally whether you jump or not.
Kang Tae Joon... again.
Yes.
My form really is a total mess.
Why do you think your balance keeps going off?
You were doing really well until just recently.
I don't know.
My condition isn't bad now either.
This is a big problem since you don't have many days left until the competition.
But I was wondering...
You were wondering what?
If your balance being off is psychological...
do you think it's because of your Father being in the hospital...
I told you, I didn't want to talk about that.
Well, I was just...
Forget it.
Just stop it.
You have one where you shot it from behind too, right?
- Yeah, I have it. Wait. - I'll do it.
You got a text.
Check who it's from.
[Softie, want to go watch soccer with me today?]
It's a text from Eun Gyul.
Are you supposed to go watch soccer with Eun Gyul?
No, we didn't talk about soccer.
Today's the day of Eun Gyul's Nationals match.
Since Eun Gyul hurt his leg because of me...
that's why I told him that I'd watch the match with him.
Should I text him and tell him that I can't make it if you have things to do today?
Did I say anything?
You're dragging this out. Give it to me.
Hi.
What are you staring at so intently?
Nothing.
Were you staring at Min Woo?
No, I wasn't!
But... isn't Min Woo really sexy?
Sexy, my butt.
He just looks like a new bride!
No, just look at his forearms. Look at all the veins bulging out of his...
Then... have a great day.
Veins in the forearms?
There's nothing different.
You should take better care of your health.
You know that you're in the age range to be doing that.
Yes, I should.
Since my body is changing on a daily basis.
I'm sure that you're busy, so you can just get going now.
Yes, yes...
I'll be on my way since I came and showed my face.
I won't be seeing you to the door.
By any chance...
has Tae Joon been by here to see you?
He stopped by briefly.
How long are you planning on hiding what happened to his Mother from him?
If you just tell him the truth... he wouldn't misunderstand to this extent.
It's better for him to go on thinking what he thinks right now.
There's no need for any further misunderstandings.
- But still... - I hope...
that you don't say anything unnecessary to Tae Joon.
I won't.
I'm going to go out for a bit.
Whatever.
You really don't want to come with?
Forget it.
Don't be like that, and come with us. You like soccer too, don't you?
It's much more comfortable to just watch it from here.
It would be so nice if you came with us...
- Then... - Then I'll be back.
Okay.
She could have asked me one more time... Seriously...
Sometimes she is just so dense.
That's right! Pass it! Shoot!
I can't believe that right there... that was such a waste!
Hey... I thought we were really going to the soccer field
since you said you wanted to go watch the game at the soccer field.
What? This is a soccer field.
And we're watching soccer at a soccer field.
Even though I'm sure it would be much more fun if we'd gone to the soccer field to watch...
but I wasn't able to get any tickets.
But I was just saying that we should at least get the feel for it.
Don't you think this is pretty decent?
Even though I'm a tad bit disappointed, this is pretty fun on its own.
I'm sorry, Cha Eun Gyul.
Sorry about what?
No matter what the reason may have been, you hurt your leg because of me.
Why are there so many people apologizing to me today?
What?
No, it's nothing.
You're my best friend.
I thought that I wasn't greedy about it.
That as long as I can just stay by your side, I'd just be happy with that.
And truthfully, I can't get more greedy than that either...
But the thing is...
I'm getting greedier all the time.
Bu that doesn't mean... I want you to feel burdened by it.
Eun Gyul...
- I... - I know. You don't have to tell me.
Why did we both have to be guys?
Cha Eun Gyul...
Yeah?
I'm sorry.
About what this time?
Just for everything.
Down the road, even if I end up disappointing you
I hope that you won't hate me too much.
Disappoint me how?
Just whatever it may be.
But... you'll still be my best friend then, right?
No...
Maybe I'm being too selfish.
There's no selfishness between friends.
As long as you're okay with it... whenever.
That's enough, stop.
Kang Tae Joon.
Come see me for a moment.
You...
don't come back to the gym until tomorrow.
Excuse me?
How many jumps have you done today? Including the ones you just did.
About... 20 times.
You're pushing yourself too hard right now.
You're over-pacing.
It's okay.
Hey... are your Achilles heels made of steel?
No questions or arguments...
but get plenty of rest and go have some fun today.
Teach... the competition is right around the corner, how...
The way I see it...
It's not your legs that are the problem right now...
but your heart. So go get some rest.
I don't know what it may be...
but I think you need to take care of that before your records start to show again.
No, I'm fine.
Seriously, you brat! Stop talking back so much and listen to me once in a while!
Gu Jae Hee... you take responsibility and take Tae Joon out of here.
Excuse me?
Take this brat out of here and shove some fresh air up his nostrils.
And make sure to take some pictures as proof that he had fun and bring them to me.
If you don't...
Gu Jae Hee, you'll be receiving hell training too.
Yes!
Min Hyun Jae, you too...
Excuse me?
- You want me to go with them? - Go with them where?
You're going to keep practicing with me.
If by any chance, if these guys come back without having had any fun...
know that you all will be receiving my training from hell.
Yes.
- What are you doing? - Didn't you hear what Teacher said?
You're not supposed to do any training until tomorrow.
- This much is okay. - No, even this much is not okay.
Why don't you stop and get off my back?
Then I have no other choice but to force you to stop.
If I do this, you can't do it anymore, can you?
- You're seriously not going to get off? - Whatever... I told you, you need to stop.
Fine. Then just stay right there.
Why? What are you going to do about it?
Hey!
Hey... hey...
Okay, I give up.
- Give up? - I can't do it.
Teacher Baek... I heard that you were looking for me?
Ah, yes...
I'm making my own coffee to drink these days...
and I know you like this kind of coffee.
- You made hand drip coffee? - Yes.
- Why don't you have a seat? - Sure.
Wow... seeing you doing that, you look like a real barista.
Come on... a barista? Really?
Looking at your forearms, I just realized they're really nice!
Ah... my forearms?
I've always had large forearms ever since I was little.
But your skin is much whiter than I had thought.
- Just your forearms... - Huh?
It's because I have pretty nice skin.
- This is really good! - Isn't it?
What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Nothing...
But... what is this thing that I keep getting glimpses of since earlier?
This is...
If I have this tied around like this, it helps me concentrate.
I see...
Hot! That's hot!
Are you okay?
[Not in very good condition.]
Did something happen to Tae Joon last week?
His record has come to a screeching halt since the 22nd.
If it's the 22nd...
[The day Tae Joon's Father went in to the hospital.]
That's the day Tae Joon's Father was admitted into the hospital.
Why are you sitting down like that? We're going to be heading out.
Aren't you going to go? Hurry up and get ready.
Forget it... we can just tell him that we went out.
We can't do that.
Teacher told us to take pictures and bring them back too.
He was just saying that.
Besides there's nothing I want to do out there anyway.
Don't worry about that part.
I majored in putting fresh air up Kang Tae Joon's nostrils.
You're acting like a brat.
Hurry up and come outside. The weather outside is really great.
And there's a place I've always wanted to go to.
Where do you want to go?
A school that someone I used to like went to when he was little.
Just how many people are there that you like?
100 people.
I'm not going.
Something like this?
- You stick them on? - Yeah, you stick on their clothes like that.
Should I pull one out for me too?
This one's mine.
- It's a couple set! - It really is!
- Just wear it like that. - Couple.
Don't do it... don't do it!
Don't do it!
What are you doing?
Why don't you buy one? The flowers have bloomed so beautifully.
- Gu Jae Hee. - Yeah?
Look at my expression...
It was like this... 'Oh!'.
- This is... - That's right, it's your elementary school.
How did you know about this place?
There's nothing I don't know about. Especially, anything related to Kang Tae Joon.
If there's such a thing as Tae Joon exam, I totally would've aced it.
It's just too bad...
Let's go in.
Come on!
These things scare me.
Hold on tight!
Now jump!
Do I look like an elementary student?
Dad!
Hi, Tae Joon!
My baby!
- Are you doing well with your studies? - Yes.
Wow... look at how tall you've gotten! You're almost as tall as me now!
What are you staring at?
It's nothing.
I bet Lettuce hasn't eaten anything since this morning.
I'll go feed him and take him for a walk.
Let's go together.
Ah, why don't you set your bag down and we'll go together?
Okay.
What are you thinking about so seriously?
About having gone to school earlier.
I don't know if it's because it's been so long...
but I keep thinking about it.
I want to go to the school that I used to go to when I was little too.
What kind of a neighborhood did you used to live in?
It was just... a small and quiet neighborhood.
Because there weren't many people, everyone was very friendly and close.
And if you drove out in your car for a bit, there was a really huge lake.
And I really used to love going there.
It would be... nice if I could see it sometime.
I know.
There's so much that I want to show you too.
Coming all the way here... have you ever regretted it?
No. I'm satisfied with seeing you jump again.
It feels strange once in a while.
That my jumping... gives you that much strength.
It's weird for me too at times.
How I'm speaking up close to someone whom I thought was so far away.
If I start jumping again like I used to in the past...
you'll probably go back, won't you?
Probably.
It's so cold!
Thanks.
The thing is...
So the thing is...
Could it be possible that the chocolate you had earlier had alcohol in it?
Yeah...
You're right.
That's right...
That's why I think I'm a little drunk.
Yeah... then I'll head back in first, okay?
How in the world...
At this rate...
if Jae Hee catches me knowing that I know that she's a girl...
she'll probably leave right away.
But it's getting harder...
to watch her and see her as a guy.
Lettuce...
what should I do?
That's nothing crazy.
What I'm saying is, I do that with women I don't know on the subway all the time.
And at times... a little strongly.
Even if you say it's no big deal... it still is a pretty big deal.
Brushing hands against one another without even knowing?
Anyways... I was really shocked.
If by any chance...
Tae Joon knew that you were a girl, what would you do?
At that point... I shouldn't be here anymore, right?
I don't know.
When have you ever asked before you came here?
If the fact that I'm a girl gets discovered by Tae Joon too...
I'm sure I'll really have to leave this place then.
But... it's getting so much harder lately to pretend to be a guy towards Tae Joon.
At times... I want to be a girl to Tae Joon.
I don't think that can be hidden just because you're trying to hide it.
Excuse me?
I'm just saying that it only takes a moment of the unexpected to get caught.
When I turned my head the other way when you first came here...
it was because there was some sense of desperation to you.
And I was curious to see how you were going to go about solving it.
I'm not going to intervene in any way.
You'll have to make the judgment... and choose.
Even if I decide that I have no other choice left but to leave...
there's something I have to make sure to do.
That kid thinks that his Mother's death... is because of me.
You have a phone call.
I think you should make up with your Father.
If you won't stop...
then I'll leave.
What are you doing up so early?
I couldn't really sleep.
You don't have practice tonight, right?
Don't eat dinner. Let's go out and eat together.
Out?
Is today something special?
No, it's not a special day...
You have something to say, don't you?
What is it?
Is a reason like that needed for us to go out to dinner?
It's not that...
But I'm curious. What is it?
Now's not the time... I'll tell you later.
Aren't you even going to give me a hint?
Is it going to be a vegetarian meal or not?
Later.
You're not going to go on an empty stomach again, are you?
Even if it's a hassle, you have to eat for you to get the strength to practice.
Wait a little bit. I'll make you some mixed grain tea.
Thanks.
Hey, Master, you seemed to be dating lately, is it going well?
I don't know...
I have no idea.
Why?
Is it not going well?
You sure have a lot to say for a slave.
Seriously... don't slaves have mouths?
It's a guy, isn't it?
Yeah.
By any chance...
Did you notice?
Is it me?
Get away, you scoundrel!
Dude! It's because I'm worried about you!
Then who is it?
It's just someone.
He's like a mirage that I can't get a hold of.
No matter how closely I walk by, I feel like I'm just walking in place.
What does that mean?
It does make me curious though.
Just who is the one to make the divine Cha Eun Gyul so desperately forlorn like this?
Divine Cha Eun Gyul?
Divine?
Playboy Cha Eun Gyul.
Seriously...
- Hyun Jae... - Yeah?
I think I like him a lot.
My heart keeps getting softer.
Master!
Stay strong!
Of course, I'll stay strong!
How dare a slave put his hands on my shoulders?
Follow me!
Where did Grungy go?
2m 31cm...
Just a mere 1cm in one year.
I can do that much.
But I wonder what she wants to say to me today?
Could she...
be planning on telling me that she's a girl?
Yes.
Hello.
What brings you all the way here?
Did you come with Tae Joon?
No... I came by myself.
Because I had a request to make of you.
To me?
Hang on a second.
Hey, Softie!
Why are you looking so down? Did something bad happen?
Then what?
I did something Tae Joon's going to yell at me about.
What...
I did it thinking that it was for Tae Joon's best interest...
but if Tae Joon finds out, I think he's going to get really mad at me.
What happened?
Just something... I can't tell you.
Is it something bad for Tae Joon?
No... it's something to help Tae Joon.
Hey... then stay strong!
I don't like you walking around with your head hanging like that.
I don't know what it may be... but Tae Joon will know your sincerity too.
Hey... and if he gets angry and yells, then just get yelled at.
People who gets bad grades like us are good at being yelled at.
If I was being sincere, he'll ultimately recognize that, right?
Definitely.
I would if I was Tae Joon.
Thanks, Cha Eun Gyul.
But my grades aren't bad.
Except for my math, I'm getting A's in all my other subjects.
Forget it!
- Hurry up and get going. - Okay.
[Rather than me smiling... I'd rather have you smile.]
I thought you had run away, when you're the one who asked me to dinner.
Why would I run away? I'm Gu Jae Hee.
Yeah, you're Gu Jae Hee.
What are we going to eat?
We're going to eat something really delicious.
Let's go.
Who did you say is coming?
Make up with your Father.
I hope you do.
Let's eat our dinner separately.
Hello.
I'm late, aren't I?
Have a seat.
No, I'm fine.
Sit down.
I have something to say to you.
Then I'll be going.
Stay.
You can leave.
Speak to your Father.
Sit down.
Do you really need to do all this?
Do you really wants to give pathetic excuses like this?
Listen to what I have to say first.
No.
I don't particularly want to hear it.
Your Mother's death...
what you know isn't everything.
Your Mom...
she's known about her illness from the beginning.
It's just that she kept it hidden from us.
Last stage of liver cancer...
she was told that treatment was impossible.
The cancer had spread too much.
In a situation close to despair...
even though the probability was low, they proposed a transplant.
But your Mom...
she didn't want to become a burden to you.
Because at that time... you had the Nationals looming ahead of you.
I just...
thought...
it would just be better for you to blame me.
Even though the plan I had ultimately failed...
if that meant...
that your heart could be at ease...
I thought that would be better.
I'm sorry, Tae Joon.
I'm sorry.
You really are a senseless meddling friend.
I have nothing to say to you, so you may leave now.
Tae Joon still needs someone to lean on.
Even though he pretends to be strong, and pretends not to be in pain...
Tae Joon is still just an average child.
If it was me...
my heart would probably be bruised black and blue.
After his Mother passed away...
and if he has to hate his Father too...
it would be too heartbreaking for Tae Joon.
If you truly care for Tae Joon...
I wish that you wouldn't hide anything from Tae Joon.
I'm a little late, aren't I?
No.
Welcome back.
Hey, Cha Eun Gyul!
You have to do well today.
The National Team Coach said he's coming to see you today.
Of course, Director!
I'm brimming with energy these days!
Really?
- Okay, let's go. - Yes. Hey, pass!
Hey, I'm kicking!
Director!
Faster!
Lift up your knees!
For the first time in a long time...
I went to the school that I went to when I was little.
[To Father, from Tae Joon]
Back then... your shoulders looked bigger to me than the school gym did.
But I now know that it's not like that.
So... don't try to carry all the burden by yourself.
Father...
Have you and your Father totally made up now?
Not yet.
What the heck? How can you be like that between two men?
Even so, there's nothing we can do about it.
How can we get over something like that overnight?
Anyway... it's a relief that things seemed to have gone well.
Hey... but whenever I buy you a drink, you always drink the expensive orange juice.
There are so many other cheap and tasty drinks to choose from.
What?
Grungy...
it's all thanks to you.
Thanks.
Yesterday was 'sorry', and today is 'thank you?'
You're being a brat.
You always tell me I'm being a brat when you have nothing better to say.
Jae Hee...
Why can't I be natural like Tae Joon is?
Yeah, Cha Eun Gyul...
who cares if it's a guy or a girl?
They're all human beings.
Okay!
But still... he's still a guy...
No... we're all the same human beings.
Guy? Human?
Guy! Human?
I don't know...
What is this?
I bought it the last time you and I were out. And I'm finally giving it to you.
As you may already know, I have a lot of interest in potted plants for a guy.
I thought it would be nice to keep on your desk.
What?
Can I interpret this however I want?
Huh?
Hey... I think we need to do some cleaning.
Should we pick a day and do some serious cleaning around here?
When would be good for you?
What's wrong?
Don't act like nothing's going on.
Huh?
Don't you know?
Right now, I'm...
telling you that I like you.
I'm going to go workout, okay?
Tae Joon...
Okay...

Cha Eun Gyul...
Eun Gyul! I'm sorry.
You're sorry for having toyed with me all this time?
If you had thought seriously about how I confessed to you for even a single moment...

Are you not even going to acknowledge me?
Is it because of Eun Gyul?
You and I need to talk.
You're saying there's a girl in our dorm?
If you want to help me, you just need to remain by my side.
Because I have to have you by my side for me to be able to jump.
