At A Distance, Spring Is Green (2021) s01e03 Episode Script

1
[Episode 3]
Get in.
If not, we'll talk tomorrow
at the school cafeteria.
Drop me off at the salon.
You go there too,
so you'll know where it is.
I'm taking you home.
So that you can watch me
get scolded by Mother?
It's a pastime of yours, right?
You do everything
you're asked to do perfectly
and laugh as you watch me fail.
Then don't come by anymore.
No one in that house
misses you or wants you there.
You have no family.
Pull over.
Pull over, darn it!
Thanks.
Thanks for the lift
and the advice.
But moreover,
thanks for reminding me that
you're a psychopath.
[This is why I hate you.]
[Deceiving people while wearing
that fake smile is your specialty.]
No one in that house
misses you or wants you there.
[You have no family.]
Hey, it's me.
Are you free right now?
Let's call the others for a drink.
Of course, I'm buying.
Let me pour you a glass.
-Are your glasses filled?
-Of course.
There's no tomorrow,
only a blinding today!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
-Are you drunk?
-Yes.
-I bet you're not.
-Here.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
He's gone though.
He's out of it.
Hey, Jun.
You need to pay for the drinks!
He dragged us here saying he'd buy.
He already picked up the tab.
This is Jun we're talking about.
He proved his worth once again.
Once again.
Guys, I
Life must be so easy for him.
He's handsome, popular, and rich.
What could possibly worry him?
He should be scolded for having one.
Could not worrying
make life boring though?
Guys, let's drink to that. Cheers!
-Cheers.
-Cheers!
Can you please get up?
Take them.
That was embarrassing.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I must've sighed too loudly.
Yes, enough for
the whole building to hear.
Just let it out.
You can consider me as a pretty wall
since I won't engage.
I have heaps of research to do
and a professor
who only accepts top-notch presentations.
I also need to go over a mock Q and A.
Jun's only a freshman,
so I don't know if Soo-hyun and I
can handle it all.
What if the team members cause trouble?
Will you cover for them
as the team leader?
How did he know that they'd cause trouble?
[Soo-hyun]
-Have it on vibrate!
-Why is he calling at this hour?
Aren't you going to pick up?
Yes, Soo-hyun.
Jun said what?
What's wrong?
I need to step outside for a bit.
Who's calling you out at this hour?
Could he be interested in you?
He's not the type.
Either he is or isn't.
Type has nothing to do with it.
He's just wired a little differently.
That's how he is.
Anyway, I'll see you later.
Don't make a sound.
You'd better not wake me up!
Jun?
So-bin, it's you.
How did you know I was here?
Soo-hyun said you'd be here.
You guys must be close.
Except me
Are you okay? How much did you drink?
Not much
I can drink more.
Let's go drink more
What's wrong? Can you pull yourself up?
So-bin.
Can you please like me?
Why won't you answer?
Don't you like me?
So you hate me too.
It's not that I hate you.
Right?
I knew you of all people would like me.
I knew you'd like me.
Actually,
I like someone else.
What?
There's someone else I like.
What?
I can't like you
because I have feelings for someone else!
Jun, can you get a grip on yourself?
Jun, are you asleep?
-Hey.
-Is he asleep?
Soo-hyun?
Give him to me.
Sure.
Do you know where he lives?
What? I don't.
I think Hye-ji knows though.
Oh, no.
Could he have heard what I said?
[Youth Villa]
This seems to be the place.
Oh, no.
Unbelievable.
We're almost there.
Jun, what's your door lock combination?
Jun?
I've done enough.
Just a second.
It's a biometric lock.
Could you bend down a little?
A little closer.
Could you lift him up slightly?
Darn it.
Darn these fingers. Work with me!
Yes! That's a good boy.
It worked! Soo-hyun, hurry inside.
You must be exhausted.
Your jacket.
-Please take it off and I'll--
-Why should you?
You're right.
I probably earned the right
to use the bathroom.
Same here. I probably earned the right
to get a glass of water.
What is it?
Nothing.
-The cup's overflowing.
-My gosh!
Would you like some water?
[Did he hear what I said or didn't he?]
[Should I ask?]
Thanks.
Soo-hyun, wait.
Did you perhaps hear
what I said earlier?
I mean,
I hope you heard me
thanking you for carrying him here.
It was exhausting for you too.
We should go.
Sure.
Doesn't something seem to be up with him?
I really think something's up.
So-bin.
Can you please like me?
He's liked by everyone, so why me?
Is something troubling him?
Your mind's running off to places again.
Yours don't though.
Because I don't care about others.
As if.
After getting his call,
you sent me looking for him.
Then you came by and carried him home
to his house.
I call that caring.
I talk a lot, don't I?
I didn't want his last call
to be have been to me
which is why I called you.
I followed you there though
because I didn't want to put you out
more than necessary.
Right. If you hadn't shown up,
we would've stayed there all night.
Anyway, you did good.
-This is where we ended up.
-Good night.
Did you purposely walk me back?
I'd rather you not tell Jun that I came.
Why not?
My curiosity is at it again.
I'm sure you have your reasons.
Your secret's safe with me.
I just don't want him to get clingy
in the name of trying to thank me.
Jun's like that, isn't he?
Good night then.
You think you know him,
but then you don't.
Darn it. Whatever.
[Youth Villa]
Did someone
bring me home last night?
Darn it. What on earth happened?
Short black hair.
Whose is it?
-So-bin!
-Hey, Jun.
-Are you all right?
-What about you?
Me? Why would you ask?
I doubt it happened,
but did I make
some kind of mistake last night?
Can you please like me?
I can't like you
because I have feelings for someone else!
Did you make any mistakes? Yes, you did.
Not to me, but to
I mean
You! How could you get wasted like that?
That's the mistake you made.
A colossal mistake!
I'm busy and must hang up.
What was that about?
[Calls]
[Yesterday, Nam Soo-hyun]
I called Nam Soo-hyun.
I really did make a mistake.
Did he completely blackout?
You're mumbling by yourself again.
-Did I?
-It'll lead to a mishap one day.
You'll blurt out your feelings
without realizing it.
That's a horror story.
What's a horror is your face!
-Unbelievable.
-Did you drink last night?
No.
I took care of a drunken imbecile.
You did what?
Who had the audacity to make you do that?
Was it that roommate of yours?
Says the actual troublemaker.
I spent my teens taking care of you.
Right.
Since that's the case, I'll compensate you
for your devotion of youth.
-With what?
-Fried chicken and beer!
-Have it yourself.
-Sure.
-Be good to me while I'm still here.
-You'll always be here, for sure.
-No one can guarantee that.
-Are you going somewhere?
What's scarier is
our friendship drifting apart.
Even being physically close
can't remedy that.
Why would we grow distant?
I'm off.
What? Hey, don't go.
Don't put space between us!
Is it the spring blues?
Professor Yeo.
Isn't your younger brother
a freshman in the department?
Why do you ask?
Well, I just thought
I would personally look out for him.
Please don't. That's hardly necessary.
Audacious, aren't you?
-Sorry?
-You're already flirting your way through.
I don't quite follow.
You got this position
by currying favors with Yeo Jun.
I thought it was weird for him
to turn down my offer.
Jun willingly gave up his spot--
He gave it up?
This seems like nothing, doesn't it?
You think I'm being petty
over a research gig.
One incident can tell you a lot.
I'm sorry.
This wasn't my spot to begin with.
Why do you say that?
Are you going to quit?
Because if you do, it'll seem like
I got cranky and fired you.
How did you get Ms. Seol
on your side anyway?
You must be a talented one.
[Yeo Jun]
[-Five, four]
-Five, four
[-three, two]
-two.
One!
-Hey, Jun.
-But I counted down my arrival.
So how--
Jun, I see you didn't bring coffee today.
It slipped my mind.
Hand me your credit card.
I'll go since you're busy.
Yes, you're a busy one.
-Hi, Jung-ho.
-Hey.
Are you better?
You had a seizure the other day.
You have no idea how scared I was.
Do you perhaps have epilepsy or something?
If I hadn't done it,
the fight would've been bigger.
Was it all an act?
Soo-hyun was being prickly
and you guys were drunk.
A fistfight wouldn't benefit anyone.
It's a freshman's job
to sacrifice himself.
Unbelievable.
You're quite thoughtful for a freshman.
Don't tell me you believe him.
-Is it true?
-Don't believe me then.
[Calls]
[Nam Soo-hyun: 18 seconds]
A total of 18 seconds?
-Jun, where are you off to?
-Let's grab lunch!
[Webgame Creator]
What about lunch?
-Let's have lunch!
-But I'm hungry.
Were you that hungry?
You trotted off at quite the speed.
Why do you get flustered in my presence?
You did so last night too.
Last night?
Well, I wasn't flustered at all
last night.
I remember you looking like
a deer in the headlights.
-I wasn't the one flustered--
-Then who was?
Who took me home?
I'd rather you not tell Jun that I came.
What happened then?
Did you just leave me there?
No, I stayed with you. I--
Then who was it?
On one's back?
In one's arms?
Was I dragged?
It must've been Soo-hyun.
Sorry about that.
I didn't mean to interrogate you.
Let's head outside.
I'll treat you to something nicer.
It's all right.
You didn't say much, so don't worry.
That reminds me.
You said there was someone
you liked, right?
You remember everything, don't you?
Not all of it,
but that's clear as day.
I remember you saying
you had feelings for someone else.
Darn it.
Who is it?
If not me, then who?
Can you please leave?
Who could it be?
Someone who's always by my side.
We'll eat here,
so let me give you a gift instead.
A gift?
That's all right.
It should actually be for Soo-hyun.
You threw up on his jacket.
As if Mr. Moody would accept it.
Oh, right.
He's not the type to like gifts.
Which is why you should accept it instead.
Let's go. Timing is key, you see.
Where are we going?
This really isn't necessary.
Just follow me. You won't regret it.
I know you're a big spender,
but you don't have to be with me.
It doesn't involve money.
This is pretty.
I studied here for three years,
but I've never been here before.
-Pretty, right?
-Right.
Have a seat.
Who is the guy you like?
You're not actually curious,
so why do you want to know?
You're headed for heartache,
so I should help.
That's what friends do.
Forget it.
How exactly can you help though?
I could tutor you on
how to make the guy be obsessed with you.
As if that's possible.
Well, how exactly would one do that?
So you're interested?
No, I'm not.
The lessons can't be for free,
so let me hear your story.
So to summarize,
the guy you like
is handsome but unreliable.
You've been friends with him
for a long time,
but he always blows you off.
He's a playboy
who's always with a different girlfriend?
If you put it like that,
he doesn't seem nice.
That's not how he is though.
You're tortured by false hope.
[Does it hurt?]
I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.
Of course, it does.
You believe that person could love you
and get your hopes up over small gestures.
Just tell him how you feel.
How I feel? That's insane.
How is that insane?
You can't move on until this is resolved.
Just tell him.
I could take the leap with you
just like I did when bungee jumping.
It's been going on for so long
which makes it harder.
I don't even know where to begin.
Just say whatever you want.
Why are you worried
when you're this pretty?
Stop saying things like that!
You'll be someone
who breaks too many hearts.
But I don't want you to cry, So-bin.
I don't like it when people do.
Can you please like me?
-You--
-Wait a second.
Would I regret this?
What if you end up dating him?
Stop it.
What do you mean I'll be dating him?
What? Look at you beaming.
No can do. I'm done helping.
But you lit the fire first.
Don't tell him how you feel.
I haven't made up my mind yet.
Your mind about what?
I'd rather you not confess.
Wait for me.
Hurry up then.
What is this smell?
Hong Chan-ki
[Hey, So-bin!]
Hey, you went clubbing again?
Your place is a mess.
[Are you at my place now?]
[Hey, don't clean up again.
Just leave it!]
Just leave this mess?
[Is something stressing you out?]
How did you know?
[You always clean my place
when you're stressed out.]
[Anyway, don't clean.
Just wait for me. I'll be home soon!]
You said you'd be home soon.
What's taking you so long?
But then again,
you've never kept a single promise,
Hong Chan-ki.
Right, the laundry!
[The guy you like
is handsome but unreliable.]
[You've been friends with him
for a long time,]
[but he always blows you off.]
[He's a playboy
who's always with a different girlfriend?]
Honey, what are you doing?
Let's enjoy this sweet night air
together again.
Don't go. Don't put space between us!
This isn't enough for her
because she thinks way too much.
She needs me to help her
declutter her mind
by chatting her up nonstop.
[Library]
[Gosiwon]
It's this way.
Have a look around.
Studying to be a civil servant?
For how many years?
Not me. It's for my brother.
I see.
[Gosiwon]
[A room with a private bathroom]
[would cost well over 500,000 won
a month.]
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
Dig in.
I saw that you offer room and board.
No.
-Not to college students.
-Can we get one more serving?
-Yes, right away!
-Two more servings.
-Can we get a new grill, please?
-The meat is
I can work at least five hours a day
if you can offer me a place to sleep
Goodness. I told you
we don't hire short-term workers.
[Job posting]
[Recommandation, Popular]
[Hiring now, General recruitment]
[-Where are you?
-My dorm room.]
[Yeo Jun]
[So-bin]
[-What are you doing?
-I was just reading something.]
[Yeo Jun]
[I read that guys can develop feelings
for their female friends]
[So-bin]
[when they see a new side of them.
Is it true?]
[It could be true in some cases,
but not always.]
[Will you help me?]
[Yeo Jun]
[Are you free this weekend?]
[Is it a date?]
[Well]
It looks just like you.
-Look who's talking.
-It looks nothing like me.
Look!
Put that down.
Yes, this one looks great on you.
-This is better.
-No, this is nicer.
-This one's nicer? Let me see again.
-Okay, here.
I don't really like it.
Here, try them on quickly.
-Hey, I can't wear this.
-Come on. Just try them on.
-I don't think I can wear it.
-It's okay.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Does this look weird too?
I think this one looks all right.
This one is
the weirdest.
You say everything's weird.
I'll just go with this one.
Take off that childish bracelet first,
will you?
I can't take this off. Never.
-What are you doing?
-Let me pay for this.
I'll cash you out.
No.
Let go.
I don't want to pay for it anymore.
-Here you go.
-Thank you.
Why would you pay for my clothes?
I'll pay for this.
Pick something you like.
I'll buy it for you
to thank you for your time.
As long as it's not too expensive.
I wanted to buy you something good.
This is delicious.
You were out all day because of me.
-So-bin.
-Yes?
How about you like me instead?
-What?
-I don't know who your crush is,
but you're too good for him.
-Just like me instead.
-You're teasing me again.
I don't want to stand in line.
So many girls have a crush on you.
Oh, the bus is here. I'll be off, then.
[Youth Villa]
[Just tell him.]
It's been going on for so long
which makes it harder.
I wouldn't even know what to say.
Take off that childish bracelet first,
will you?
I can't take this off. Never.
Hey!
I see that you're enjoying
the sweet night air again.
I guess you're alone today.
Yes, my girlfriend is busy today.
Your Sunday girlfriend?
Oh, you knew?
I'm as popular as you are.
Then I guess your Monday girlfriend
will be over tomorrow.
Wow, friend! How did you know?
She called me just now and said
she'll come over tomorrow evening.
Tomorrow evening?
[So-bin]
[Why don't you tell him tomorrow?]
[Why don't you tell him tomorrow?]
Hey, Nam Soo-hyun!
Hey, you're here.
Yes.
What's up?
I won't be done for another few hours.
Did you forget to bring your phone?
Oh, right. I forgot.
Let's step out for a moment.
I need to wake up.
[Hi, Young-ran.]
What? Why are you answering
Soo-hyun's phone?
He left his phone here.
He's so forgetful these days.
I guess he's really tired.
He is? Why?
We have to move out.
He said he has to find a job
that offers room and board.
What? He's going to get another job?
A job that offers room and board?
Your brother is out of his mind.
Darn it. Nam Soo-hyun, this fool
That's yours.
Hey, is everything okay with you
these days?
Yes, it's the same always.
Everything's okay?
What about your jobs? Nothing new?
No, nothing new.
Okay.
I'm off.
Already?
Hey.
Am I really your friend?
What do you mean?
You seem to have forgotten that
since you're so tired these days.
How could I, when you're my only friend?
-It'll be just a moment.
-Thank you.
Excuse me.
Hey, Young-ran.
He's a great guy.
Put in a good word for him with your boss.
Okay, thanks.
Would you stop that?
-What?
-Enough, okay? Don't look prettier.
You're teasing me again.
I think I picked the wrong day.
Don't I look weird?
No, you look perfect.
Really?
Yes, really.
Kim So-bin, is that really you?
I almost didn't recognize you!
My gosh, what's going on?
Hye-ji is still prettier.
You're right about that.
What's up, So-bin?
I didn't even know you existed
since we rarely see you around.
But, what's gotten into you?
For a moment,
I thought Jun brought his girlfriend.
You thought So-bin was Jun's girlfriend?
Give me a break.
Hello, Soo-hyun.
Soo-hyun.
Doesn't So-bin look
totally different today?
Let's get started.
I think I studied too hard today.
I'm parched.
How about a drink? What do you all say?
I have plans.
See you tomorrow, Soo-hyun.
He nods at you at least.
That obnoxious jerk.
Does he think he's the boss?
What's with the arrogant nod?
Jun! Where are you going?
Look at him following Soo-hyun
like a puppy.
Soo-hyun!
Soo-hyun!
Did you carry me home?
Who said that? Kim So-bin?
No.
She wouldn't tell me.
I found out
because you left some traces behind.
-Like what?
-Your hair.
I sent it in for a DNA test,
and the results say it's your hair.
I wonder why I called you.
I mean, you're so cranky.
You'd just hurt my feelings.
Do you get your feelings hurt?
I'm hurt.
Let me buy you dinner.
You carried me home,
and I puked on your clothes.
You did nothing to put up with that.
It's solely my fault this time.
I guess you're bored. Find someone else.
You must've come to my rescue
because you were worried
although you don't like me.
Stop following me.
You said weird stuff,
so I just felt responsible.
You felt responsible?
Did I say I wanted to die?
I suppose you say that often
without knowing
what it's really like to want to die.
-Do you really hate me that much?
-Yes.
That was quick.
I guess you're being clingy because
I'm not reacting the way you want me to.
But you see,
you can't control everything in life.
I can.
Don't follow me.
I don't have time to waste with you.
I was hoping he'd have changed a little.
I didn't know my enemy lived so close.
-"Enemy"?
-That's right.
Because he may hurt you,
although we don't know that yet.
Should I just go home?
Does this look that weird?
Chan-ki bought me this bracelet
at a stationery store when we were eight.
I see.
Anyway, I should get going. Bye.
I hope he didn't forget about today.
[Chan-ki]
[How about chicken and beer for dinner?]
[Okay! I'm In!]
Ta-da!
-It's you again.
-Oh, I
I came to the wrong house.
Hey!
-So-bin!
-You left your bag
Is today a special day or something?
Did you come here to see me?
-No.
-Who else lives here besides me?
It's not that
Hey Jun.
[If not, just come to me.]
Yes, I will.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
I came to the wrong place.
-Who's that?
-I came to find Jun,
but I came here.
I guess it's a force of habit.
Jun Yeo Jun?
What's going on? So-bin!
So-bin!
What are you doing out there?
Come on inside.
My mom and dad are getting a divorce.
You mean the same thing
Seong-chan's parents did?
I feel like I did something wrong.
Like what?
I didn't do my homework,
and didn't eat broccoli.
If it was because of that my parents
would've gotten divorced already.
You're good at everything
and I'm a trouble maker.
What do mean? I'm not good at anything!
I have to choose if I'm going to
live with my mom or dad
and I don't know what to do.
What's that?
A magic bracelet.
If you say "Hong Chan-ki appear!"
I'll appear
right in front of you like magic.
-You're lying.
-Try it out.
Hong Chan-ki appear!
Ta-da!
What are you doing?
[But you see,
you can't control everything in life.]
[I can.]
Come in.
You're really going to leave like that?
You want him to see you like that?
You helped me,
but everything got messed up.
Why did I go today of all days?
I should've gone some other day.
What difference would that make?
-Still
-What happened?
He said he broke up with her months ago.
He said that he isn't seeing anyone.
Chan-ki
wouldn't lie to me.
I don't want to listen to this.
-I'm sorry.
-About what?
I'm going to take off.
You should get some rest too.
Sorry I bothered you.
So-bin.
Don't cry.
I'm not crying.
Just
Seeing you again
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I shouldn't have done it.
I had no idea I'd feel so bad about it.
Why did I tell you to tell him
how you felt about him?
No
You didn't do anything wrong.
It was my choice.
I should get going now.
Use me.
I'll be your boyfriend.
You can use me to forget him
or to make him jealous.
Why would you go that far for me?
I can't take it anymore.
I can't stand to see you
acting like a fool.
What should I do?
You decide.
-Hey.
-Hey.
I heard something strange a while ago.
What? Were you really going to meet Jun?
I thought you were
making up an excuse for me.
Let's grab chicken and beer
This is my girlfriend.
She's pretty, right?
[At a Distance, Spring is Green]
-Can I call you again?
-No. Don't.
Was it fun for you to watch me cry
like an idiot?
In this world,
there are people who don't like you.
But I don't think you're not one of them.
Why you little
Then apologize.
Apologize for your misunderstanding.
[I don't think I can.]
[Trust me this once and see for yourself
if I'm toying with you or not.]
[I don't like getting disappointed
after trusting someone.]
[I hurt someone]
and I want to know
how to go back to the way things were.
[Just tell her how you feel
without embellishing.]
[You're bad at that.
Just do what you're bad at.]
-It's not you!
-It's not you!
What?
