Oh, right.
The math workbook.
I have to give it to Su Yeon.
Su Yeon
Why is she at Gyeong Ho's place?
Ta-da!
What is all this?
It's a surprise for Sun Hui. What do you think?
Does it look okay?
My goodness, this one is
It's horrible.
What?
What a nice thing to say.
Don't do stuff like this.
- Why not? - You will fail.
You
Do you
Do you also
like Sun Hui?
What?
I don't know. I'll just go.
That's none of your business!
- Let go of me! - Hey!
Su Yeon.
Sun Hui.
Why are you here?
Su Yeon
Why are you here?
You promised me that you wouldn't come.
Why don't you keep your promise?
You are making me miserable!
My life is ruined
all because of you.
It's all because of you!
Is it you, Sun Hui?
I'm in the kitchen.
Wash your hands, sweetheart.
Mom.
Mom
Mom?
You
What's wrong?
Mom
I
I killed someone.
I
I killed Gyeong Ho
I killed
Gyeong Ho.
I killed Gyeong Ho.
No.
That can't be true.
You would never do something like that. Right?
You didn't do it, right?
Mom
Mom
(Perfect Family)
I have to run.
Hi, Na Yeong.
- Hi, Sun Hui. - Hi.
I'll see you at school. Bye.
- See you. - Bye.
(Yunil High School)
You're here. Hurry up.
Your button.
Right, my button. I forgot.
My tie is done too.
What else?
Right, my name tag.
Park Gyeong Ho.
Gosh.
All right.
Okay, let's go.
What? You're leaving just like that?
I mean
You know
Here.
You are a good boy.
What a nice boy.
- My gosh! - I got you.
How dare you put your hand on my head.
- I was just fooling around. - How dare you!
- Come here! Hey! - No.
Come here right now.
- You are - Gosh.
- Don't run. - Yes, sir.
Are you coming with me?
Wake him up. My goodness.
We'll bow to our teacher.
- Good morning, sir. - Good morning, sir.
We have a transfer student.
Do you want to introduce yourself?
Hi. My name is Lee Su Yeon.
I hope we all can get along.
All right. Be quiet now.
Su Yeon, take that empty seat in the very back.
Who knows what day it is today?
- Today is the cleaning day. - Long time no see.
- No. - My gosh.
The class president will watch you clean the classroom.
- Do you remember me? - You check the list again.
- What? - You tell them where to clean.
You understand? And
- the cold virus is going around. - No. I must have been confused.
There are many students who have a cold in the school next to ours.
- So, please - I hope we get along.
- I hope we get along too. - take good care of your hygiene.
Wash your hands all the time, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Let's study hard today.
- All right. - Thank you, sir.
Are you coming with me?
No.
There is a high possibility that the plaintiff knows about the note.
- Make them think - Spread your arms.
that we aren't aware of the note.
That's right.
It will be nice if we retort when they attack us at the trial.
Right.
Yes.
All right. Bye.
Stop using your phone while you get changed.
I'm sorry.
You look great.
You should get changed too.
Stop it.
I'm going to do it.
All right.
- We'll be late. - Put your arms here.
- We'll be late. - So why would
Sun Hui, here.
Thank you.
Isn't it okay for Sun Hui to eat school meals now?
They show food labels on the menu.
No, she can't.
I was really shocked then.
I had no idea peanut powder could hurt her like that.
You're right. I was so scared.
Food allergies can kill people.
My mom is still scared too.
Your father is having an awards ceremony tonight.
- Right. - Yet, she still packs this for you.
An awards ceremony?
My gosh, your father is on a whole new level.
Well
Your family is perfect.
- This is so good. - It's delicious.
Here, you can have more.
I want the eggs.
Isn't it delicious?
Sun Hui, enjoy your meal.
Okay, you too.
You know her?
No. She confused me with another kid.
I see.
Just bring it there and have it.
Thank you.
It's really good.
Thank you for waiting.
I'm pleased to invite
today's main guest, Lawyer Choi Jin Hyuk to the stage.
Please welcome him with a round of applause.
(Korea Excellent Person Awards)
Good luck.
Thank you.
(Korea Excellent Person Awards)
Lawyer Choi Jin Hyuk has won
the Korea Excellent Person Award again.
He's the 1st person to win the award for 4 consecutive
For four consecutive years.
As his fellow lawyer, I couldn't be more shocked
I couldn't be more proud. Give him another round of applause.
Isn't a nervous lawyer like him likely to lose the trial?
Mom, be quiet.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
(Korea Excellent Person Awards)
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Gosh, Choi Sun Hui.
You're so popular.
You even got a present for your belated birthday.
Stop teasing me.
Oh, my.
Gosh, I think I know what this is.
- Hey, that's not for you - Sun Hui.
By the way
Here you go.
It's for you.
I got it customized.
That's why it took so long.
Gosh, it's beautiful.
Thank you.
I'll get going.
I got rejected.
Well
I see.
What?
Why do you look relieved?
No, that's not true.
(Self-Directed Learning Room)
Goodness, I'm starving.
- Sun Hui. - Yes?
Let's go.
Let me finish this up.
You're the top student for a reason.
- I'll wait for you there. - Sure.
Let's go.
You still remember how to tie your hair like this.
What?
Don't you remember?
Hey, why are you so short?
Hey!
Look at this.
Isn't it pretty?
People say
that my dad killed my mom.
But I have no dad.
Do you know why?
Mom started a fire
and burned down the house.
She also killed Dad,
but don't you find it strange?
I heard that Dad killed Mom,
so when did Mom
put everything on fire?
I figured it out after thinking hard about it.
Mom didn't start a fire
just once.
Mom kept putting things on fire,
so Dad got angry.
He killed Mom,
and he also killed himself.
I wonder what it feels like
to burn.
Will you tell me?
Why you
- You know what? - What?
Here's another thing that people told me.
They said
that I'm a chip off the old block.
Boo!
Those darn cowards.
Su Yeon.
What if they tell on you to the teacher?
It's okay.
- Which color do you like? - Yellow.
Yellow.
It's done.
By the way,
do you have
a mom and dad?
Mom died,
and Dad is still alive.
But I don't know where he is.
I see.
I have never seen
- my mom or dad. - What?
I made up the story about my dad
- burning my mom to death. - Are you kidding?
Before coming here,
I was abandoned.
Sun Hui.
Do you miss your dad?
I don't know.
One winter day
Since that day, we always stayed together.
It was like having a little sister, so I was happy.
No, do it faster and harder.
No, don't scratch it so slowly.
Faster and harder.
I'm scared.
There's nothing to be scared of.
Watch carefully. Fast.
And hard.
Here, give it a try.
Try it again.
Fast and hard.
Gosh!
Good job.
I also taught you how to light a match.
Here you go.
Why are you giving it to me?
I'm getting adopted tomorrow.
Like the others, I'll have a mom and dad too.
Su Yeon, you should get ready.
What?
Goodbye. Take care.
Come here.
I'm glad to see you happy.
Me too.
I'm glad to see you happy.
I'm living with a girl whom I met at the orphanage.
What?
Didn't you get adopted?
Remember how I got injured?
So my adoption got canceled.
Really? Where did you get injured?
You didn't know?
No.
If I had been adopted then,
would I have been living happily like you?
You can be happy from now on.
I'll help you.
Okay.
- Promise me that you'll help me. - I promise.
To celebrate becoming friends again,
give me this as a present.
What do you think? Isn't it a good idea?
- But that's - What's wrong?
I can't have it?
Hey, did she explain why?
She'll go out with someone only after high school.
- She's too busy for a boyfriend. - I see.
Really?
Why are you smiling?
I didn't smile.
I just saw you smile. Tell me the truth.
It's just that
Sun Hui is no different.
What about her?
Everyone says that when they reject someone.
Then they always go out with someone else.
It's so banal.
We may think that,
but Sun Hui is different.
I know her.
I bet she was telling you the truth.
She leads a busy life like she's afraid of missing something.
That's probably why she's too busy to go out with you.
Right?
I still have hope, right?
Hey, Hyeon U.
Where's my birthday present? I got you one, didn't I?
Sorry about that.
I mean it when I say I forgot. I'll get you one later.
You forgot?
How can you forget your friend's birthday?
I'll get you a gift later.
Later? Hey, get back here.
Later when?
I promise.
Fine, but remember that Gyeong Ho saw you promise me.
You know I always keep my word.
Promise me.
- Whatever. - Hold on.
- Don't be dramatic. - What do you mean?
Is it good?
Of course, it's delicious.
Sun Hui?
Oh, right. It's delicious.

Dad, I need you.
I provide free round-the-clock advice.
Here. It's only for my daughter, though.
I'd love to be as eloquent as you.
Thanks for saying so.
Who are you finding it hard to talk to?
No way.
That's so cool.
There's a new transfer student.
I want to get to know her better,
and it seems as though she wants that too.
Go on.
But how should I put it
For some reason, I find her unapproachable.
Unapproachable? I wonder why.
With Hyeon U and Gyeong Ho,
I don't have to ask to know what they're thinking.
That's how it is with teenage boys.
Were you like that too?
Every group has an exception,
and I was always different from others.
In a good way?
What? Is it not open today?
Su Yeon!
Hey.
Did the boss say he'll be closing for the day?
Su Yeon, didn't you know?
Our boss put the property on the market and fled.
What?
He closed the shop and took off
to pay off his gambling debt.
Then what about our paychecks?
We get nothing, of course.
No wonder he was being nice to us yesterday.
He told us to take the leftover meat and side dishes.
Darn it.
He was just making us clear out the trash.
- Gosh. - I
- Darn. - I didn't even receive
last month's paycheck.
What?
I can't believe he took off when he barely paid you enough.
Darn, that piece of trash.
What now?
Gosh.
Did you write that girl a letter?
Gosh, not yet.
I should get around to it,
but I don't know what I should write.
Right. Give it more thought.
Even those you find hard to talk to
may easily understand your words when put in writing.
Got it.
Should we keep doing that when I'm in high school now?
Why are you being self-conscious?
Su Yeon, we're off to get snacks. Would you like to come?
No.
Oh, right. Sure.
Sun Hui.
I need to buy supplies for class.
Well
Can you lend me some money?
I'll pay you right back once I get paid.
Gosh, Su Yeon. What did you say?
Was that on purpose?
To annoy me?
Of course not. I had my earphones on, and
I need to borrow some money! There, do you hear me now?
I don't have any cash on me today.
Sorry.
Can I borrow some tomorrow?
Sure.
(Transportation, Cell phone,)
(Textbooks, Supplies, Rent, Utility bills)
I'm home.
- Hey. - What's up? Are you studying?
As if.
Hey, what if I dropped out of school?
What is it this time around?
Well, it costs a lot to put myself through school,
and I can't be bothered to make friends.
If only you had listened to me.
I said financial aid wouldn't cover all the costs.
It still costs a lot to study at a general private school.
But you said you had a friend
who was a student there
and insisted on enrolling.
It's not how I expected it'd be.
In what way? Doesn't she remember you?
It's not that.
She finds me uncomfortable.
But you said she was your best friend.
She was when we were kids.
Got it.
- Hey! - This way.
Go ahead. I'll push.
Come on!
Got it.
She was the only friend I had.
Then work more part-time jobs.
You have to graduate somehow.
- Gosh. - Hey. What was that for?
You think you can take me on?
- Really? - Ouch.
Gosh.
Hey, Su Yeon.
Oh, hey.
What's this?
Money.
I know.
So why are you giving me this?
I'll tell you why I must give this money to you,
so listen up.
Don't you dare bully Sun Hui.
I won't let it slide.
What?
Is that what she said? Did she say I've been bullying her?
That's none of your business.
Just let me know if you need more.
I'll give you the money.
- What? - What?
Someone stop them! My gosh.
Take your money, you jerk.
- What - What's going on?
Hey, do you see me as some common beggar?
What?
You cow.
Su Yeon.
What
Su Yeon!
Sun Hui.
- Hey, Gyeong Ho. - Hi, Ms. Ha.
- Hop in. I'll drive you. - Sure.
That annoying cow.
Doesn't Sun Hui annoy you as well?
Hey, Su Yeon.
I heard you transferred from Omok High School.
You made quite the name for yourself there.
That reminds me.
I heard you tried to take Sun Hui's money
and got into it with Gyeong Ho.
Choi Sun Hui.
She sure is annoying, isn't she?
She's wealthy, a model student,
and even has a handsome bodyguard.
If you think about it, she's kind of allowed to be a snob.
- Right? - Totally.
You two blabber way too much.
What?
What are you trying to say?
Well,
if she's getting on your nerves,
we could teach her a lesson.
It'll be to commemorate our new friendship. What do you say?
Forget it.
But why? It's not like you have any friends.
We'll hang out with you.
I don't need this.
"I don't need this."
Freak.
But I don't have the time for that.
- You should make time. - I mean it.
It'll be just for today and only for 30 minutes.
- Sounds good. - Thirty minutes.
Aren't you in the best of shape today?
No, but 30 minutes
And go.
This is
- Slow and steady. - Try to keep up.
Right, slow and steady.
One, two.
(Yunil High School)
I'm leaving if you have nothing to say.
Wait.
Listen, I
I'm sorry.
I misunderstood and crossed the line.
That
hurt you.
I'm sorry.
- Su Yeon. - Hey.
Shall we go to the snack bar?
All right.
You're not angry anymore, right?
I'm not.
Let's go.
Gyeong Ho may be hot-tempered and immature,
but he's not that bad.
Did you tell him to apologize?
Yes. After all, I was the cause of it.
- Why? - Kick it!
- Hey! - Keep kicking it!
Kick it!
- Hey! - Kick it, will you?
- Look at the ball! - Kick it!
- Let's go! - Come on!
Hey.
What is it?
Do you like Sun Hui?
What? Me?
No way. That's ridiculous.
It's obvious.
Stop joking around.
Have you confessed to her?
I don't like her, okay?
There's no reason for me to confess.
- Is it because of Gyeong Ho? - What has he got to do with this?
Then it's fine.
Seriously, pass it!
Sun Hui and Gyeong Ho's families
are on a whole different level.
Is that so?
Sun Hui's father is a famous lawyer.
Gyeong Ho's father is a renowned painter.
My family runs an ordinary dry cleaner.
A child doesn't choose their parents.
And what about a dry cleaner?
So you won't give it a shot
because your parents are not as famed as theirs.
Then, a person from an orphanage with no parents
shouldn't even dream about dating.
(Myunghyeon Academy)
Sun Hui.
Su Yeon?
(Rising Grade 10 Presentation for Current Grade 9 Students)
- What brought you here? - I have something to tell you.
Can you spare a moment?
(Rising Grade 10 Presentation for Current Grade 9 Students)
Sure.
Su Yeon.
What is it that you want to tell me?
It's something you must know.
What is it?
Remember I told you I couldn't get adopted because I got hurt?
Yes.
Guess where and how much I got hurt.
And why.
What?
Look.
Medical treatment for burns is expensive.
So who would adopt someone
looking like this?
Now, how did I end up with this burn?
Shall I tell you?
Shall I tell you
what you've done to me?
I can't forget that day.
It was the day
before I was going to get adopted.
If Su Yeon also leaves,
I'll be left all alone again.
Fire.
Fire.
- The fire is spreading! - Kids.
- It's really bad. - Kids.
Is everyone here? Is everyone safe?
- Yes. - Nobody is missing, right?
Gather around.
Because my adoptive parents were to get me early in the morning,
I was sleeping in a different room than usual
and couldn't escape in time.
Over here! Please help!
It's bad. We need more support!
Kids, are you all right?
Is anyone hurt?
Sun Hui.
"Once upon a time,"
"there was a beautiful statue of a smiling prince in a village."
(Epilogue)
"His whole body was made of gold,"
"his eyes were sapphires,"
"and his sword had gems like rubies."
"When winter was just around the corner,"
"a swallow flew"
"to the prince's foot"
"and decided to take a rest."
"While the swallow was resting,"
"water dropped onto it."
"And that droplet of water was the prince's tears."
"'I can see'"
"'countless sadness on the streets.'"
"'That child over there is sick.'"
"'But he is too poor to buy medicine.'"
"'Dear swallow. Can you give'"
"'the ruby on my sword to that child?'"
"As the prince asked,"
"the swallow took the ruby to the child."
"After that, the prince asked the swallow"
"to take his sapphire eyes"
"to the talented yet poor young man"
"and the little match girl."
"The prince lost both of his eyes."
"And yet, the prince spoke with joy."
"'I'm all right.'"
"'As long as'"
"'they can become happy with them.'"
"Upon hearing that, the swallow didn't leave for Egypt."
"It decided to become the prince's eyes."
"'Thank you, dear swallow.'"
"'Can you take the gold on my body'"
"'and give it to the people in need?'"
"When winter came,"
"the swallow froze stiff"
"and couldn't move."
"'Prince.'"
"'I was happy'"
"'to be of help.'"
"With those words, it used its last strength"
"to give the prince a kiss,"
"and died."
"Crack."
"At that moment,"
"the prince's heart couldn't handle the sadness"
"and broke into pieces."
"An angel brought"
"the prince's heart and the swallow."
"When the deity saw them,"
"he was very pleased and nodded."
"The prince and the swallow went to paradise"
"and lived happily ever after."
(Perfect Family)
Will we
be able to get along well again?
Take one for us too.
Hey!
- Fate? - Don't you have a thing
with Su Yeon?
I wouldn't like anyone but Sun Hui.
It's all because of you!
Su Yeon?
This is the very moment to pay back the debt.
It's okay.
I'll take care of it.
- The whole family was found dead. - What happened
yesterday?
