At A Distance, Spring Is Green (2021) s01e09 Episode Script

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.
Isn't jjajangmyeon what we eat
on moving days?
-Yes, and there's yours right there.
-Right.
I always enjoy having a variety of dishes.
This is also your welcoming party.
-What's this?
-Nanjianwanzi.
The one I ordered is delicious.
I finally get to see it for real
and not just on a menu.
It looks like minced pork,
but I bet it's quite expensive.
Are you planning
to greet all of the dishes?
"Hello, it's good to meet you."
What's so special about this
How is it?
What?
It just tastes like meat.
What about these leftovers--
Cut the lecturing and just dig in.
How much is all this?
I think we'll be great roommates.
Are you serious?
It's what I want.
I'm looking forward to this.
Let's cheers to that.
Cheers.
[My Jun]
[You must be upset
that I ran off all of a sudden.]
[Was something up?]
[My Jun]
[Yes, with Soo-hyun.]
Soo-hyun?
Keep it down, will you?
[My Jun]
[Jun, we'll talk tomorrow. Good night.]
Gong Mi-ju,
get up and have some tteokbokki.
Mi-ju?
What's up with her?
There's also corn dogs, your favorite.
I guess we'll have
to eat them all ourselves.
Corn dogs dipped in tteokbokki sauce
will be to die for.
Ridiculous!
Corn dogs should be dipped in ketchup.
Who knew that corn dogs
could get her out of bed?
I only found that out myself.
I'm glad you made it.
You should eat your favorite food
on crappy days.
It's good.
I should take this call.
Go ahead.
At least one of us should be happy.
It's so good that I'm in tears.
Do one or the other.
Don't cry while eating your favorite food.
Were you deprived of your country?
Yes, it's how I feel.
He was my everything, you see.
Mi-ju.
[Myungil University]
You're in your third-year which means
that half of your college life is over.
If you're still running around having fun,
it's about time you got a reality check.
In that sense
[Write resumes for ten
of the top 30 companies.]
Why? Who's complaining?
You still think you have a lot of time.
You!
Wake up.
Yes?
What's your TOEIC score?
-I--
-What's your GPA?
I only just got back
from serving in the military.
Are you saying
you still haven't adjusted to society yet?
Did you get good grades
in your first and second year?
I selected this assignment to teach you
that you don't have time to waste
or make excuses.
Make sure it reflects your current status.
That'll be all.
-Which companies will you choose?
-It's too much.
I don't even know.
Don't be too intimidated
by what Professor Song said.
It's not that.
I just always feel suffocated
after her lectures.
No one would take her course
if it wasn't mandatory
in order to graduate.
She's not wrong though.
We don't have a lot of time left.
But I still don't know
what I want to do with my life.
Pathetic, right?
That's unexpected.
You've always been assiduous.
Thanks, Soo-hyun.
You're more affectionate than you seem.
I was only stating a fact.
So how's the roommate situation for you?
Jun's excited
because he thinks you'll get along.
Get along?
Jun and me?
Did something happen between you two?
Soo-hyun, breakfast is ready!
There you go. Dig in.
Breakfasts should always be big.
But I'm late for class.
Fine. Let's eat.
What's with all this food?
Slow down, will you?
I added
some good-quality mushrooms in there,
so savor the flavors.
Savor them?
They're nothing
but black chunks of mushrooms.
It's truffle which cost
300,000 won per 100g.
Watch yourself.
What? What exactly is this?
300,000 won, did you say?
Are you out of your mind?
It's a bit too much
for breakfast, I guess.
I wanted to have it
with wine in the evening,
but you're too busy
with your part-time jobs.
That's not what I mean.
How can you eat mushrooms
that's pricier than rib-eye?
Don't you ever buy this again.
Right. Sure thing.
I see.
Can't you talk to Jun for me?
Tell him to keep the truffle to himself.
I've had indigestion
ever since I heard its price.
Sure.
How can mere mushrooms
be what I spend on food a month?
One can get mushrooms
in the woods, you know.
Guys!
Let's go.
I was thinking about buying
some luwak coffee.
Forget it. I don't want any.
Please just drink it yourself.
Professor Yeo.
Is this for me?
Of course.
This tea isn't easy to get.
It reminded me of you, you see.
Also, I've always admired
and respected you.
In Korea, people are ranked
in the order that they are born.
It's quite rare for people of this culture
to admire and respect
someone younger than them.
Unless there's a reason for it.
There's no need to be so rigid
over a little gift.
Anyway, I hear that Mijin Group founded
a Southeast Asia
economic exchange conference
and invested a lot of money in it.
You'll be leading it, of course.
Are you already done selecting
the professors who'll participate?
If you mean those who'll receive grants,
then yes.
Is that so?
That's quite upsetting.
After all I did to help Mijin Group?
Why don't we
be more considerate toward each other
for the sake of Yeo Jun.
Isn't this my underwear?
I see he's telling me
to fold my own laundry.
Young-ran, are you asleep?
No.
I confessed my feelings to Soo-hyun.
Right.
Did you know?
-Did he tell you?
-No.
I just happened to find out.
Then you'll know
that he turned me down on the spot.
Do you regret it?
Not really.
I would've told him sooner or later.
But
it hurts more than I thought it would.
I envy you, you know.
I don't have the courage in me
to confess my feelings
because I'm worried I'll lose him forever.
Ta-da.
What do you think?
Doesn't it suit me perfectly?
I've seen you wear that many times.
What?
What do you mean? It's brand new.
But I've seen it before.
Follow me.
Ta-da.
Why do you have
so many of the same clothes?
A V-neck, a round neck,
over-fit, slim-fit,
white as snow,
and white with a little splash of ivory.
They're different
in color, fabric, and style.
You have money to waste, is that it?
They all seem the same to me.
Does having straight bangs
make everyone Nam Soo-hyun?
No, right?
You must think you're so clever.
Go ahead and choose one.
It's a welcoming gift!
Those are the good times.
Don't talk like you have no future left.
Make this happen for you too.
-It'll never happen.
-Are you sure?
You don't come across
decent people that easily.
I'm sure there will be someone for you.
You're sure?
Because you're a decent guy.
-Only say what you mean.
-Got it.
I see someone means business.
Can you spare me a few minutes?
Are you sure it'll only be a few?
-Three minutes will do.
-I'll catch you later.
I wonder who that is.
Who are you exiting your house with
almost hand in hand?
Cut to the chase.
You have two minutes now.
You're popular and can have
anyone other than So-bin.
I've thought about it all night
but I just don't get it.
Why is it So-bin?
Because it's So-bin. Must I say more?
Yes, you absolutely must!
This won't last for you.
Did you think I wouldn't know?
Your three minutes are up. See you.
[Youth Villa]
Don't bring tears to her eyes.
I never neglected my mission and duties.
I may not be reliable
with everything else,
but day and night I've been
Wait. Even at night?
Okay, only during the day.
But I always fulfilled my duties.
I thank you for your service then.
You can now take a break from it.
[Youth Villa]
I see you're at ease now that she's yours.
So annoying!
[Youth Villa]
It's why we should never
cross paths again!
Professor,
is there an issue
with the research material?
If you tell me what's lacking, I'll
[Myungil University,
Yeo Jun at Spring Festival]
He's my brother.
He's the person I hate the most.
Kim So-bin.
Yes, professor?
Do you know about the incident
in which Yeo Jun was assaulted?
Yes.
Could you perhaps tell me what happened?
Well
I can't turn a blind eye
being a professor of this department.
Jun got into an altercation
while trying to protect me.
He's not the type who would
irrationally walk into a fight.
-I'm sorry about this.
-You two must be close.
Yes.
What is your take on Yeo Jun?
-Jun--
-Well,
it's not like I have
a personal interest in him.
You see,
I've been told that
you're his brother.
I thought you should know.
Did Jun tell you himself?
Professor Yeo seems
to be worried about you.
He cares for you a lot.
It might seem that way on the outside.
That's not it.
I seemed fine
on the outside too, remember?
Maybe it's in our blood,
but what you see isn't everything.
You didn't forget
our trip to the beach, right?
Of course, I didn't.
What do you want to do there?
A lot, so don't you be late.
Why would I possibly be late?
I can't wait to go on our trip.
-I'll be late for my general course.
-But I want to stay with you.
At least we can see each other
during classes.
But I miss you even when I'm with you.
I'll see you around.
My Bin, see you later.
Soo-kyung
-Is something the matter?
-I didn't make the research team.
-Can you believe it?
-Your dissertation.
-Don't tell me you handed it in as is.
-Are you insane?
I was just stuck, that's all.
Besides, taking a line from hers
would've gotten me in trouble,
so of course, I took it out.
Could Ms. Seol
have told Professor Yeo?
Come on. As if he'd respond to a rumor.
I may not be a good judge of people,
but I know that much.
As you know, I've always been chosen
for research grants.
This doesn't make any sense.
There must be another reason.
Just move on and aim for the next one.
As if it were that easy.
Anyway, I'm here to discuss
a super cool idea.
-Leave.
-Maybe next time.
So-bin, where are you headed?
-To meet up with Yeo Jun?
-Yes.
-I met him too, you know.
-Why?
To say he should never make you cry.
-Chan-ki.
-Don't say my name so affectionately.
-Haven't you been with girls lately?
-I haven't.
I see you finally hit adolescence.
I hate you.
-Hey, So-bin!
-What?
Gosh.
Why are you so startled?
I'm not a pervert, you know.
Chun-guk.
What What's this about?
I had something to say to you
and apologize for what happened.
Actually, I'm not
the only one who's sorry.
Jung-ho and Hye-ji
also wants to apologize.
What?
Here you go.
When will Jung-ho and Hye-ji be here?
Soon, I guess.
[Gambloid]
Go ahead and drink.
[Having Fun with a College Student]
[Gambloid]
[Is this someone you know?]
[Isn't this a bit risky though?]
[It's not like she's locked in here.]
[She's hardly any good.]
[Not telling her about this
could be an issue.]
[Just tell her and play it safe.]
You've got to be kidding me.
This darn idiot is going through with it.
Why? Who's doing what?
What? Forget it. I know nothing.
Seriously?
What do you mean you don't know?
Wait. Isn't this Kim So-bin?
Yes.
What about her?
Well--
Tell me. What about her?
[Having Fun with a College Student]
Where is she?
I don't know and I'm not at fault here.
What?
Right.
You only mentioned it,
so of course, you're not at fault.
But if anything happens to her,
you'll be considered an accomplice.
-Why?
-Because you conspired with him.
You'll be questioned by the police
which could lead to being an ex-con at 20.
But
I really don't know where that is.
Jung-ho, where is this place?
Let's see
[Having Fun with a College Student]
Isn't this Chun-guk's club room?
Check the cabinets.
Isn't that his club's slogan?
-Right?
-Yes, it is.
-It's the club room.
-It seems that way.
-The club room.
-Is that his club room?
I can't believe Chun-guk.
[Don't put off until tomorrow
what you can do today.]
-Darn it. Give me that.
-What are you doing?
-Give me that.
-Wait.
-What are you doing? Give me that.
-Let go!
You should've thought twice
before coming at me.
It's your fault.
You're acting really weird, you know.
No, you can't leave.
You're streaming live at the moment.
This was all a lie, wasn't it? Move!
-It's not like I'm hurting you, darn it!
-Let me go!
So-bin? Kim So-bin!
So-bin!
Kim So-bin!
Let me go!
Please help!
Help me!
Let go of her, you jerk!
Get up.
Darn it!
Jun, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Jun!
-Chun-guk, stop it.
-Move!
Get off my face!
You
[Gambloid]
Jun.
[Gambloid]
So-bin, are you all right?
Yes, you're here now, so I'm fine.
I'm glad.
Hey, are you guys all right?
-Young-ran.
-How did you get here?
Jun, are you all right?
Can you believe it?
-Let's drink!
-Let's drink!
You can't access Chun-guk's show now.
The platform took it down
after it was reported.
Did you see Jun earlier?
I've never seen him run so fast before.
She was just as fast, you know.
She came here looking for Soo-hyun,
but flew off the second
she heard about So-bin
like a rocket.
We paid back our tab,
so you won't follow us
to our graves, right?
As if I'd even like it there.
Jung-ho, she's probably
a year younger than you.
Is that how it is?
I respect those that can overpower me.
You helped me find my friends,
so consider this my treat. Dig in.
Right.
By the way, what's your relationship
with Nam Soo-hyun?
Does that intrigue you?
The answer?
We'll see what fate has to say.
"The Lovers".
Fate's playing jokes on me.
I have sensitive skin, you know.
Sorry.
By the way, I hurt my lips too.
Right, of course.
This isn't a lipstick, you know.
Oh, right.
You feel guilty, don't you?
I'm sorry.
You got hurt because of me.
Why did I even follow him there?
Anyone would say I'm the weird one.
I must be such a fool.
You were on school grounds,
so how could you have guessed
that another student
you've known for years would do that?
You're not a fool.
It was him who committed a crime.
I bet it was scary.
Yes,
it was.
I'm sorry for getting there too late.
I almost went crazy thinking
that something could happen to you.
We should talk.
Sure, let's talk.
I have something to say anyway.
Is it a coincidence
that So-bin is working for you?
She was recommended.
I hate the fact
that she's working for you,
that you're in her space,
and that you can expose me for who I am.
Why do you hate it so much?
Is she your girlfriend?
Why do you want to know?
To invite her out for dinner?
I saw the video from the festival.
Why didn't you fight back?
You sound like a worried big brother.
Well, it didn't hurt at all.
You know that I can take a beating.
Don't let it happen again.
What gives you the right to say that?
You beat the crap out of me!
Don't tell me you already forgot.
I see you've already
erased it from your memory,
but I reminded of it every day.
So don't you dare forget about it
without my permission.
Jun
[Youth Villa]
Jun-wan.
Please help me.
You want me to
-help you?
-Jun-wan, I
I was wrong.
-Jun-wan.
-It's okay.
You're not my family.
Jun-wan.
Jun-wan!
Jun-wan!
Jun-wan!
Is he not home?
No?
When will you both agree?
I guess I got here early.
Hey, Jun. Where are you?
[So-bin. I'm sorry.]
What?
[I don't think I'm going to make it.]
Are you sick? You don't sound very well.
No, nothing like that. I'm really sorry.
Are you already at the restaurant?
No, not yet.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
So-bin.
Is Jun home?
He's inside. Go ahead.
I have to get going.
I want to hear your story.
And I don't want to say it
no matter who asks.
[Youth Villa]
What's going on? Where's Yeo Jun?
What's the matter?
Why are you crying?
Is it because of Yeo Jun?
No.
I'm sorry, Chan-ki.
But I'm not in the mood to talk.
[Youth Villa]
Chan-ki, you're
So-bin's best friend. right?
Chan-ki,
can you take care of So-bin for me?
If someone bullies So-bin
please teach them a lesson.
Ma'am.
I've done a good job, right?
I have to let her go now.
Excuse me.
Have we met?
I've never seen eyes like yours.
They seem like they have a story to tell.
Can I have your number?
Are you sure you're not a wanted criminal?
Of course not.
I may become one by stealing your heart.
What a lunatic.
It just slipped out.
It's fine. I am a lunatic.
The story of my previous 15 years
makes my heart break.
The story of my previous 7 years is
just as bad.
Do you want to share stories?
[My Jun]
[Youth Villa]
Hey. Are you okay?
Aren't you hungry?
You haven't eaten anything all day.
Thank you.
For what?
For everything.
The fact that you were here,
was a great comfort to me.
What happened with So-bin?
Did you talk to her?
To So-bin?
So-bin came by our house yesterday.
She did?
You didn't see her? I let her inside.
I have to go.
So-bin.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
About what?
Everything.
I'm sorry I stood you up and that
I didn't even give you an explanation.
I should've come to my senses and
apologized to you yesterday. I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry I made you worry.
At least you know.
Forgive me.
It will never happen again.
What happened?
I couldn't sleep all night.
I had a nightmare.
-Nightmare?
-It was so agonizing
and I didn't want you to see me like that.
When you have a nightmare,
all you have to do is wake up.
It's not real.
And I'm right here next to you.
Don't forget that.
[Youth Trip With Professor Park]
I put this up long ago.
Hopefully, someone will apply today.
Are you serious?
Not even one person has applied?
That's crazy. Oh, sorry.
Why would you even talk about youth
with those youngsters?
Did you want to talk about 12th graders
when you were one?
Did you want to talk about the unemployed
when you were one?
They're youths. Why would they want
to talk about youth with their professor?
Well, I just thought it'd be helpful.
Just talk about it with me.
Really?
Then let's get some fresh air.
"Fresh air"? What are you talking about?
It's really nice here.
It is indeed.
Yet you said you didn't want to come.
Where's the good restaurant?
Let's walk a bit more.
Who knows we can come here again?
Besides, I don't have any friends
to go to these places with.
You can go alone.
It's the easiest.
You used to have a lot of friends.
What now? What are you trying to say?
I used to be envious of you.
I wanted to be like you.
And
I wanted to be a professor like you.
And my goal is still to be like
the old Professor Song Soo-kyung.
[Youth Trip With Professor Park]
"Youth Trip"
Last-minute trips are always the best.
A trip?
Jun and I were thinking
of taking a trip together anyway.
Okay.
Mi-ju.
-Gong Mi-ju!
-Yes?
Young-ran wants to go on a trip with us.
I think Soo-hyun's coming too.
Soo-hyun?
I shouldn't go.
That would be the right thing to do.
"Youth Trip"?
So you want me to deal with Soo-hyun.
Is that it?
All right.
Do you want to go on a trip with me?
A trip? Why? I see you at home every day.
The "Youth Trip"
organized by Professor Park.
Professor Park?
What?
You declined just now, flat out.
Now, you're torn
because of Professor Park?
We've been through a lot together.
Do you like Professor Park more than me?
What's this?
Who's this?
[I'm the guy who has a story to tell.]
Oh, the guy with the sad story?
[I called because you said
I could call you when I'm bored.]
If you're bored,
will you go on a trip with me?
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Professor Song is here too.
-Hello, Professor Park.
Did you pay them or something?
You guys must have missed me!
I'm glad you came.
Welcome, guys!
Have you eaten yet?
Yes, we have.
But shall we eat something together?
No, we've already eaten.
Don't worry about us and go eat something.
-Yes, go on.
-All right, then.
Wait, Soo-hyun.
It's okay, Professor.
Just take it.
Don't take my joy away. But in return,
let me join you guys
when you're playing on the beach.
Guys! Don't worry
about finding a place to sleep!
Oh, we're just here for the day.
Good call!
Really? Are you sure?
You won't talk about youth with me?
Are we not going to drink?
Don't mind him. Just go have fun.
Let's make some memories!
Not with you. Go on, guys!
There's something I prepared for you guys.
A campfire!
What? I'll take care of everything.
You don't have to lift a finger.
Professor Park.
Do you want us to talk about our parents
while holding candles
and end up crying?
I hope that's not what you're thinking.
You read my mind.
What? You don't want to do it?
I'm fine with it, Professor.
Me too.
But I don't want to see anyone cry.
Why don't we just gather around
the campfire and play a game?
A game?
Sure, let's do that.
-Let's play a game and talk about youth.
-Gosh.
Enough, okay?
What?
-Rock-paper-scissors!
-Rock-paper-scissors!
-One more time. Rock-paper-scissors!
-Rock-paper-scissors!
Did you hurt yourself?
I don't remember
because I was quite drunk,
but I can't lift my arm
after meeting someone.
Was I punched in the shoulder?
Are you really okay?
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
No, it's not that bad.
Fold a finger if your GPA is over 4.0.
Fold a finger if you aren't a student.
Fold a finger
if you've had gukbap with Soo-hyun.
Professor Park,
do you understand the rules for this game?
Fold a finger if you're a couple.
Well, fold a finger
if you have straight bangs.
Mine's not straight.
It looks different every day.
It's not always straight.
It's my turn, right? Fold a finger
if you like one of the ladies
who are here now.
-Whatever.
-What?
Gosh, we should've gotten Soo-hyun.
Let's do this again.
No, only fold a finger
if you like someone here.
I know.
Professor, since you organized this trip,
we should stick to the plan
and do the crying session.
Okay.
You can talk about anything.
Let's share our past wounds and worries.
Let it all out in front of this campfire
and let it go.
Don't. You'll regret it tomorrow.
You can ask questions too.
If it can help you,
I'll happily tell you
all about my embarrassing past.
They say some moments
can totally change your life.
Have you ever experienced
a moment like that?
There was something I believed to be true
for a long time.
I used to think that my ex-girlfriend
dumped me because I was poor.
That thought tortured me
throughout my youth.
I was very insecure.
Whenever anyone glanced at me,
I thought it was because I looked poor.
It took me years to learn the truth.
She was very ill at the time.
I had no idea,
so I cursed her for dumping me
and called her materialistic.
Don't let your memories or thoughts
trap you
and make you lose what's dear to you.
You never know when the real truth
could reveal itself.
Jun-wan, can you get that for me?
My award from the race.
Okay.
Can you not reach it?
But you're tall.
I don't think
I can do it.
I'll ask Dad.
[Yeo Jun-wan]
-Jun-wan.
-Yeo Jun.
Why are you calling me like that?
Just call me Jun.
Listen carefully.
From now on, you're on your own.
You don't have a mom or a dad.
-Why not?
-They're not your parents.
Jun-wan.
But I have you.
No, you have no one.
Why are you being like this?
You're scaring me.
Don't tell anyone what happened today.
Forget everything.
No
Don't go!
Jun-wan!
I'm sorry, Jun.
I'm so sorry, Jun.
Jun, I'm sorry.
Jun
Are you all right?
Soo-hyun.
Yes, what is it?
Maybe my memories
are wrong. It scares me.
Are you afraid of finding out the truth?
No.
I want to know.
Then find out.
If you fix things now,
you can start over.
[Seoul]
[Why do I have to go through this
because of you?]
[Why?]
[How dare you!]
[You're crying? Why are you crying?]
[How dare you cry?]
[Seoul]
It wasn't you?
The person who hit me that day.
It wasn't you?
Tell me.
It was Dad.
It was Dad, not you?
Yes, it was Dad.
Then why did you do that?
Why haven't you said anything
all this time?
[At a Distance, Spring is Green]
[Did the talk go well?]
You're asking me first? I'm touched.
Isn't this prime ribeye?
How much was it?
[Be careful who you date.]
[What brings you here?]
You've become quite opinionated.
I've changed a little.
[Every month, I waited
for that one phone call from you.]
[Couldn't you have cared more?]
[I don't regret it.]
[I did my best,
for the first time in my life.]
[Even if I were to go back in time,
I'd fall for you again.]
[Is Young-ran the one you like?]
Move back home.
-I don't want to.
-You don't want to?
Others might hear you. Please--
What others?
[What did you say to Jun-wan
that he's not picking up?]
-It must've been hard for you.
-Not me.
