At A Distance, Spring Is Green (2021) s01e08 Episode Script

[Episode 8]
[Young-ran]
Hey.
[You should go to So-bin and Jun.
Apparently, there was a fight.]
What?
Let's just leave.
Why? You suggested we enjoy the festival.
This place harvests
romance between youngsters.
It's not the place for us.
Took you long enough to figure it out.
The tent bar near my place
is just as good.
How about udon and some soju?
Soju? I might think about it if it's wine.
Don't be ridiculous, Professor Song.
Since when did you drink wine?
You said it gives you a headache.
So let's go for eel and soju, okay?
Okay. Marinated eel it is.
-Salt and pepper it is.
-But I
Darn. We never see eye to eye on anything.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
You should head inside.
This is far enough.
Let me walk you home. You're injured.
And let you walk home alone?
Come on.
What about you?
I don't want to see you
walk home alone in this state.
Darn it.
-Where's Jun?
-How should we know?
Let go of me!
That little psycho
is probably unconscious somewhere. Why?
Darn it.
[Youth Villa]
Clean your wounds, put on some ointment,
and apply a plaster when it dries.
I don't have any.
-What?
-Plaster.
Could a pharmacy be open?
There's no need for that.
-What?
-Plaster, ointment, and then disinfect.
No, disinfect, put on ointment, and
I'll get going then.
I know how to do it all,
but could you do it for me?
I'll put on the plaster myself.
I think I injured my finger too.
It doesn't hurt like crazy, but
Then you're settled.
[Youth Villa]
Close your eyes.
-Does it sting?
-Yes.
It hurts a lot.
Don't be sick
and don't get injured.
Why not? Don't you like seeing me in pain?
That's right. I hate it.
How about I avenge you?
I'll rip all of Chun-guk's hair out.
Why would you touch his hair?
Gosh, you startled me.
Touch only my hair.
Happy now?
This is the real me.
[Missed call: Nam Soo-hyun]
Soo-hyun, is something up?
[Are you all right?]
Did you call me out of worry?
Three times, to be exact?
I'm glad you're okay.
What was that?
He actually worried about me.
Oh, it's you.
Why? Aren't I allowed to be back?
Are you waiting for Young-ran?
She's not back yet.
Could she be sleeping out tonight?
I'm worried she might
receive penalty points for it.
I'll call her.
Hey, Young-ran. Where are you?
Oh, I see.
Soo-hyun?
-Soo-hyun?
-I'll see you tomorrow.
Will she be with Soo-hyun all night?
She'll be staying at the bar
instead of her boss tonight.
I see.
Lucky you.
If only I had a boyfriend to text too.
My gosh.
I was only in there for five minutes.
-Yesterday--
-What about yesterday?
Who were you with? Why did you stay out?
Who are you? My mom?
Were you perhaps with
that tall, handsome friend of yours
who has bangs?
My handsome friend?
But all my friends are handsome.
The most good looking Nam Soo-hyun.
Mi-ju, go and get some sleep.
-But it's morning.
-Just sleep!
[Just how badly does it hurt?]
He seems to be in a lot of pain
and has a fever.
-He has a cut here--
-A cut?
Well, that was treated last night.
Right now, he has a cold.
What are his symptoms?
He seems to have a cold,
so I'll take anything that works fast.
Take this three times a day,
30 minutes after meals.
[Pancol S]
Right.
Are you all right?
What would you like?
I would've ordered something
if I knew you're coming.
Did you come running with medicine
after hearing I was sick?
You seem all right though.
Seeing you cured me.
Earlier, the pain was unbearable.
I shouldn't be so formal with you anymore,
so what should I call you?
Anything you want. So-bin is fine.
I changed the name
I have your number under. Look.
Ta-da.
[My Bin]
What name is my number under?
I'm dying to know.
Wait. Did you just hide your phone?
What?
I did?
Why do you seem worried?
-Why? Let me see!
-Stop. It's really nothing.
Let me see!
I'm going to call your phone.
-No, don't.
-I'm making the call.
One, two, three.
[BA Major 2021 Yeo Jun]
"BA Major 2021 Yeo Jun"?
Is this Ms. Seol's phone I grabbed?
Well, you see,
many people have the name Jun.
Remember Choi Jun
who's also a freshman in your class?
Choi Jun?
I can't possibly be more disappointed.
I stayed up all night
coming up with your nickname.
I'll think of one too. I'm sorry.
Anyway, take your medicine first.
I will since
BA Major 2019 Kim So-bin is asking.
Got it.
It's an unknown number. Just a second.
Hello?
Yes, Professor.
So I heard.
Next week? Sure thing.
So that call just now--
He's my brother.
Professor Yeo Jun-wan.
Right, I see.
He's the person I hate the most
which is why I wasn't fond to hear
you'd be working with him.
I know it was selfish of me though.
May I ask
why you hate him so much?
Forget it. Maybe another time--
When I was a kid,
he beat the crap out of me.
I almost passed out.
Professor Yeo hit you?
I'm still traumatized by what happened.
Stay back. You'll only catch my cold.
I have a healthy immune system.
No, step back.
-I don't want to.
-Don't. I already warned you.
Hey, BA Major 2021 Freshman,
listen to your senior.
I'm not a patient person,
so don't provoke me.
So
Is the medicine working?
I hear it works fast.
I'm the one flushed now though.
Maybe I did catch your cold.
Why would you have
when I barely did anything?
-Come over here.
-What?
-Have a seat.
-Wait, no
I think I really have a fever.
But I didn't do anything.
-Just a second.
-Soo-hyun, get that table some rice.
-Thank you.
-Please enjoy.
More side dishes? Sure.
There you go. Please enjoy.
[The Wheel of Fortune?]
[The Wheel of Fortune]
What does this mean?
A fate that can't be avoided.
A fate that can't be avoided?
What about you?
-I
-Don't choose if you don't want to.
-I will.
-Ask what you want to know.
What will happen between that guy and me?
Choose one card.
Things will work out.
Really?
That wasn't an answer I was expecting!
-It won't be easy though.
-Only the end result matters.
Right?
Of course.
You know that things will turn out great.
A happy ending.
Your reading costs 1,000 won each.
All I see is darkness.
I see I didn't give this back to him.
[Yes?]
What? You answered on the first try.
I thought I had to leave
three missed calls too.
-I'm hanging up.
[-But I'm sick.]
You sound perfectly healthy.
-If you have nothing to say--
[-I do.]
Never a patient one, are you?
What's this about?
Are you free tomorrow?
I have something for you.
I'm busy.
I was hoping to hang up first.
Maybe I shouldn't give it back.
Couldn't he have bought one
in a brighter color?
I heard you hit someone.
-Was it because of Yeo Jun?
-Yes.
Seriously? I called so that
you could stop the fight,
not throw a punch yourself.
It just happened that way.
I've never seen you get involved
in others' business.
I got involved in your business too.
You nag a lot,
but never have you punched anyone for me.
That's because you throw the punches.
Right. Maybe that's my issue then.
I do everything myself.
Yeo Jun must be a charming one
to have changed you too.
We're from such different worlds
that I thought we'd never grow close.
But now?
I don't know.
He's like my little brother in a way.
Then he grew on you.
He grew on me?
Take a seat there.
I'll get us some coffee.
No, I'll get them.
Forget it.
I'd rather have something tasty.
Wait here.
Soo-hyun!
Yes?
-Can I borrow your phone?
-My phone?
But yours is in your hand.
The battery's dead
and I have an urgent call to make.
Is that true?
No, not really.
010-366-7883.
It's my number. I'm sure you
memorized it being smart and all.
I should have your number too.
-Give and take, right?
-I didn't memorize it.
I'm not that smart, you see.
But you're still handsome, so it's fine.
I'm not that good looking either.
Why won't you agree with me?
Am I that unattractive to you?
No, don't answer that.
There's a certain order to this.
I won't bother you,
so just tell me your number.
I'll only look at your profile page.
You won't allow that either?
Did something happen?
Why does Mi-ju seem devastated?
I think I upset her.
What do you mean?
She asked for my number.
And?
-I didn't give it to her.
-Why not?
I don't have that luxury.
How can that stop you
from giving her your number?
I mean, I don't have the time
to take interest in others.
Also, I have nothing to offer her.
You don't always have to give.
The other person
might be willing to give instead.
Also, you can always make time
for someone you like.
Even though you like someone,
you still may not have
the time for a relationship.
That's how it was for me.
With who?
You.
Don't be too startled
since it's all in the past now.
Being sick for a few days
left me with dry skin.
Nice. I'm loving the glow.
-Hey, Jun.
-I said we should meet on campus.
But we used to walk together often.
Don't act like it's new.
If I were there,
I would've laid Oh Chun-guk out flat.
I left not knowing you'd come.
But I saw you there.
Come on. You probably saw wrong.
Jun, you know--
I have someplace to stop by, so go ahead.
I had to move out of my apartment
to pay for my mother's hospital bill.
Can I bunk with you for a month?
I don't think so.
-Why not?
-As if that's not obvious.
So you're really dating Kim So-bin.
You should introduce us sometime.
I have a lot to tell her.
You shouldn't be treating me this way.
So why can't I stay at your place?
-I have a roommate.
-A roommate? Who?
-Kim So-bin?
-No, Nam Soo-hyun.
-The UP?
-Yes, should we all bunk together?
Come on. I bet that's a lie.
You lied about your dad being sick.
Did you pay back the money you borrowed?
How many times must I fall for your lies
for you to stop?
Who's lying to whom, darn it?
Darn.
Would Yeo Jun really press charges?
He has way too much evidence.
Darn him.
Is there no way to teach him a lesson?
Don't go after him. He can be quite scary.
Don't let his smile fool you.
What do you mean he's scary?
How should I put it?
His money, fame, and cleverness.
He uses what he has to get what he wants,
but it doesn't show
because his smile hides his intentions.
You're right.
At the festival, he made sure
to get beaten up in front of an audience.
He provoked you so that you'd hit him.
You're the offender while he's the victim.
Do you really think
he can't throw a punch himself?
Come on. What proof do you have of that?
You're only interpreting it badly.
I asked if I could crash
at his place today,
and he said Nam Soo-hyun
was staying with him.
Nam Soo-hyun?
He lied just to get you to back out!
A pathological liar.
-Pathological?
-Everything he says is a lie.
-I bet you don't know who his brother is.
-He doesn't have one.
Of course, he does.
It's Professor Yeo Jun-wan.
The newcomer?
Exactly. He has professors
eating out of his palm.
He'll get a good grade
even if he tanks his exam.
In high school,
rumor has it that he stole test sheets.
He thinks he can get away with anything
thanks to his rich parents.
-Gosh.
-Unbelievable.
We should talk.
"We should talk"?
Try to apologize, okay?
The police will soon contact you.
You're the one who provoked me, you brat.
There was too much evidence,
so I couldn't help it.
I thought you should get a heads up.
So this is how it'll be?
I guess Nam Soo-hyun
will be my cellmate then.
-What are you talking about?
-Didn't you know?
He attacked me the day I punched you.
-Soo-hyun punched you?
-Just look at this.
Darn it.
I have proof he did it and I won't settle.
I'll press charges.
Keep your mouth shut.
It's how you can save yourself.
Leave Soo-hyun alone.
Again with that
psychopathic look in his eyes.
[I don't like pineapple pizza.]
It's you who likes it.
I'd only stick to the crust.
I didn't even realize So-bin hated this.
[So, you are serious about this.]
No more crush. It's over now.
-What about us as friends?
-I want to focus on myself now.
-So what did Jun say?
-That Nam Soo-hyun is off limits.
He said that?
What a tear-jerking friendship, right?
That two-faced jerk.
The real psychopath is Jun,
not Nam Soo-hyun.
Hey. Shut it, will you?
What if I don't? Will you punch me again?
What?
I provoked your roommate. So what?
I heard he lives with you.
It's a lie, isn't it?
Unbelievable.
I hear you lied
all the way through high school too.
You lied about not having a brother.
Isn't this an act of bullying too?
Lying and stabbing people in the back
to make a fool out of them
is bullying on a psychological level.
Anyway, your brother is a professor here--
Yes, I live with Jun.
-How's that any of your business?
-Really?
The only bullies here are you two.
How about I make a big deal out of this?
In front of all these witnesses?
Why? Will you punch me again?
I see the pair of you
have a knack for pissing people off.
Remember what I said.
I told you to stay low, didn't I?
Did you really
punch Chun-guk to avenge me?
You're not one to hit anyone.
Not especially for my sake.
No way.
How's your fist?
You really care about me that much?
Enough to get revenge for me?
How can you be laughing?
Why haven't you reported him
to the police yet?
That's for me to take care of.
You know, I always dreamed of this.
Having a brother
who would get revenge for me.
You have the weirdest wishes.
-I'd like to call you my brother.
-Can you leave me alone now?
You know saying that
would only make me clingy.
Why did you say I was your roommate?
Because no one else
would dare come barging in.
I see you're using the image I have.
I'm thinking about
selling emojis based on you.
"No. Leave. Get lost. Whatever."
Sweet, right?
Hey, Koo-hyun.
[-Soo-hyun.]
-What's with your voice?
[Mom told me not to tell you,]
[-but her back's acting up again.]
-I'd better get going.
[According to Uncle,]
[she might not walk without surgery.]
[But Mom said she'd rather die
than get one.]
[-What should we do?]
-Isn't it obvious?
Don't worry about it and study.
I'll take care of it.
Sure.
Please enjoy.
Please enjoy.
So-bin, you came.
What's this urgent business?
I've lost my appetite.
Even the pineapple pizza tasted off.
That's what you asked me out here for?
I'm leaving.
When I think of you,
I feel like there's a hole in my heart.
At first, it only was the size of a pea,
but it's getting bigger and bigger.
The hole is humongous now.
It's just emptiness.
One that you feel when you lose something.
I have something to confess.
The day your mom left, she asked me this.
To be by your side.
That I should protect you from everyone
who dares to hurt you.
Why would she pressure a kid like that?
She couldn't protect me, so why--
Don't say that because I didn't mind.
It made me feel like Superman.
It never once felt like a burden.
I think I liked you.
Even now
It's too late,
Chan-ki.
I like someone else.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I was too late.
You're asking me to drink?
Well, that's a first.
I don't think I can talk to you sober.
Why? Do you need money?
No, it's not that.
I actually
asked Soo-hyun for
his number and got rejected.
I know.
I guess you two
tell each other everything.
Your cactus thorn is Soo-hyun, right?
I know.
I know that you have
a crush on Soo-hyun too.
-Was it that obvious?
-Totally.
Even this beer can tell
you have a crush on him.
I'm going to tell him how I feel.
To Soo-hyun?
Yes.
I'm pretty sure I got dumped
since he didn't give me his number,
but I just can't let go.
Have you ever told him that you like him?
[Even though you like someone,]
you still may not have
the time for a relationship.
That's how it was for me.
With who?
You.
No.
I just couldn't find the right timing.
I don't know
when the right timing is,
so I'm just going to do it.
I envy that.
Let's do it together.
What? You want us to hold hands
and tell him how we feel?
So Soo-hyun can choose?
Let's each do it.
I'd feel sorry for you
if I only get to share my feelings.
[Myungil University]
[Drop out form]
Soo-hyun, is everything okay with you?
Yes.
How about you get through this semester
and take some time off?
Will this be processed right away?
After filling out the form, you need to
talk to Professor Park
and get his approval.
Okay.
Professor Park.
Oh, it's that rich junior of Soo-hyun's.
-Oh, hello. We meet again.
-Hi.
Have you seen Soo-hyun?
His class ends around this time,
but he wouldn't let me come
so I didn't tell him I was coming.
I'm pretty sure he's at work.
You mean the one at the school cafeteria?
Yes. Come on. I'll walk you there.
It's Soo-hyun.
I guess they'll have lunch together.
[Staff Room]
You were living here?
What are you doing here?
So, it's true.
-Let's go.
-I quit studying for the police academy.
I came to tell you that.
What are you talking about?
I have to make money.
I can't see you have
such a hard time anymore.
Koo-hyun
Do you really think that's helping me?
How can I just sit and study,
when I know you're living like this?
Pull yourself together!
I don't care about my education.
Making a living comes first to me.
And I'll take responsibility
for you and Mom.
So stop spewing nonsense
and get out of here.
-Hey
-I'm sorry.
Can we talk?
[Koo-hyun just transferred
the money for your mom's surgery.]
[I'll make sure she gets her treatment.]
[I'm sorry I couldn't be of help.]
[I cannot thank you enough.]
Koo-hyun.
Where did you get
the money for Mom's surgery?
I borrowed it from a friend.
You're not the only one
with a rich friend.
Rich friend, who?
[He's my friend.]
Did you
meet Jun?
You didn't, right?
[Yeo Jun]
[Yeo Jun]
[Drop out form]
Let's have lunch together.
I'm actually meeting a friend.
Is that so? What about tomorrow?
I have class tomorrow.
It's best not to go through hardships
when you're young,
but later on in life,
those hardships become memories
you cherish.
Let's grab something to eat sometime.
It'll be my treat.
Thank you.
Okay.
I told you to pick your favorite menu.
This is my favorite menu.
Is that so?
Can I tell you a story about myself?
Sure, go ahead.
When I was in school,
I took a leave of absence three times.
I couldn't pay the tuition.
I didn't want to tell anyone,
and I would've rather died
than owe someone.
-I see
-But
there was this one guy who would
always call me
and buy me a meal.
And I was able to get through those
hard times because of those meals.
It's painful for me to receive help
when I can't
return the favor.
Soo-hyun.
Things will change.
Even if it seems like it never will.
I thought I was all alone,
but that was all in my head.
Open your heart, ask for help,
don't reject it, and stay strong.
If you go through all that hardship,
you will eventually have more than
enough time to return the favor.
Call me any time.
I'll buy you a meal.
Thank you, Professor.
Gosh, it's hot.
[Yeo Jun]
I need to talk to you, Jun.
Are you the one who gave Koo-hyun money
for my mom's surgery?
Are you mad at me?
Thanks a lot for your help,
but don't do that again.
If I need money,
I'll do whatever it takes to get it.
I keep letting you see me at my worst.
You've seen me anxious too.
Why do we keep letting each other
see the things
we want to hide from others?
Right?
Do you know what's really miserable?
Being so broke
that you can't protect
those who are dear to you.
Some have nothing they want to protect
even if they have money to do it.
I'm more pitiful, right?
Is this a competition?
Well, then
Let's talk about something cheerful.
It's nice here.
Will my misery ever end?
I'm not too sure,
but I think it does come to an end
eventually.
Is your mother in serious condition?
She hurt her back while working
when she was young.
And it's been torturing her all her life.
I hope the surgery goes well.
You seem to have a good relationship
with your mother and your brother as well.
My mom says that she hates me.
She calls me a sly hypocrite.
What about you?
Do you also think that?
Isn't that why
you didn't like me at first?
You are not a sly hypocrite.
What?
The things your mom says about you.
They're not true.
It's just her twisted opinion of you.
If someone ever says awful things to you,
it means that person is hurting inside.
Do not take it to heart,
even if it's something
your parents said.
I'll get going.
Soo-hyun.
You actually turned around.
Get home safely.
Jun.
I never hated you.
[No one in that house misses you
or wants you there.]
[You have no family.]
[I have no family.]
[But I felt]
[that I shouldn't be sad anymore.]
Did you have dinner?
Yes, I ate.
When are you going to bed?
[Gong Mi-ju]
Good night.
What do you think?
Oh, you did a good job with the drawing.
Does it remind you of anyone?
Is it a real person?
You'll find it hard to believe, but it is.
Isn't it so perfect?
Is this Soo-hyun by any chance?
See? You could tell it's him.
Yes, you did a good job.
It does look like him.
Right?
I'm giving him a heads-up
that I'll be confessing my feelings.
You'll actually do it?
Yes, tomorrow.
So-bin, I need your help.
Hey, Soo-hyun. Are you free tomorrow?
Next time?
No, let's meet up tomorrow.
What do you think?
I have something to tell you.
There are three
concentration growth strategies.
Market penetration, market development,
and product development.
The same goes for integrative growth.
There are three strategies.
Backward, forward,
and horizontal integration.
Soo-hyun, why do you keep
dozing off these days?
I have another part-time job now,
so I'm a bit tired.
Soo-hyun, you can take my notes.
Thanks.
I'll give you the list
of previous exam questions next time.
Are you all right?
-What?
-This is weird.
This is so unlike him. Why is he smiling?
Why? It's nice to see.
Well, this is not the Nam Soo-hyun
I'm used to.
Soo-hyun, I'll buy you a meal
to celebrate this positive change.
-No, thanks.
-Right, you're still the same.
I wonder if there's another way.
Let me
I want to treat you guys.
Yes, let me buy you lunch.
We could've gone to a nicer place.
I may not have a chance
to treat you again.
You sure will. This is only the beginning.
I'll mooch off you.
Oh, Mi-ju. What are you doing here?
There you are. I wanted to eat with you.
What a coincidence.
What is this?
The way you talk is very similar.
Is it because you're roomies?
Hello.
Hello.
You know she can draw very well, right?
Gosh, stop it.
Show him your profile photo.
Isn't she a genius?
Yes, you're good.
It's a portrait.
Oh, is that me?
What? Did you just scoff at me?
What was funny?
It looks just like me.
No, it doesn't.
What? What's with this awkwardness?
Soo-hyun.
Can you spare me a moment later?
It's such a nice day, isn't it?
Did you want to talk to me
about something?
I like you.
I'm sorry.
Are you rejecting me?
In just three seconds?
Tell me the reason at least.
Any guy
would like you.
But why not you?
I just need you.
You're all I need.
I'm
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry for liking you
without your permission.
I wish you weren't so hot
because I can't make you mine.
I shouldn't have told you.
I should've kept it to myself.
That darn tarot card reading!
[Staff Room]
BA Major 2021, try calling me now.
Okay, let me call you now.
Gosh, I wanted to show you something nice.
Hold on.
I can't believe I still have this.
Found it.
-I'll call you now.
-Okay.
[My Bin]
[My Jun]
-So I'm no longer "BA Major 2021"?
-Right.
You're cute.
What's that notebook?
The design doesn't suit your taste.
Oh, this?
It's Soo-hyun's death note.
I saw your name in it too.
-Let's see.
-No! It's like his secret ledger.
[It's all over now.]
May 12? That's today.
[It's all over now.]
[Nam Soo-hyun sent you one million won]
What is it?
What?
It's nothing.
[Did I say I wanted to die?]
I suppose you say that often
without knowing
what it's really like to want to die.
[I guess it's because my life sucks.]
You'd never be able to.
Hey, I have to go somewhere.
-Where?
-Can I tell you later?
Darn it.
[Do you know what's really miserable?]
Being so broke
that you can't protect
those who are dear to you.
[No Bicycle]
-Soo-hyun!
-What?
I'm sorry.
[People live the way they used to.]
[Even if you try to change, you go back]
[to the place your mind
and heart remembers.]
It's the same for me.
No matter how hard I try, I go back.
Dad?
Dad.
I'm sorry.
The promise I made to you
I promised you
that I'd protect Mom and Koo-hyun.
I'm afraid I can't keep it.
Dad.
Dad, I missed you
Soo-hyun!
Why did you turn your phone off?
I looked everywhere for you.
Hey.
I should go.
Soo-hyun.
How about we turn my lie
into reality?
Let's live together.
Do you not want to?
I'm sorry
for not being able to say no.
-But I promise you
-Don't think about the future.
Just live in the moment.
And don't die.
[Youth Villa]
[At a Distance, Spring is Green]
[I think we'll get along very well.]
[Are you serious?]
[You do your own laundry.]
Why did you just stand there
and do nothing?
[I'm in so much pain,
but I don't want you to see me like this.]
[A trip to celebrate our youth]
[Traveling is all about
being spontaneous.]
[Fold your finger
if there's a girl you like.]
I'll always stand by you.
Don't forget that.
Hey, So-bin.
[Why are you so scared?]
[Do you think I'm a pervert or something?]
[I'm scared because now I think
my memories might be wrong.]
Are you scared to find out the truth?
I want to know.
