At A Distance, Spring Is Green (2021) s01e11 Episode Script

[Episode 11]
Why are you just standing there? Come in.
Get in, you little brat.
And you call yourself a man?
[How dare you!]
You don't want to? Say that again.
Must I seem like a loser because of you?
Must I?
You inept piece of trash!
Do you know what should become
of useless brats like you?
Jun, open up!
[Jun, open this door!]
-Don't.
-Jun, open the door!
-Let go.
[-Jun!]
-Father, stop this.
-Move!
-Let go of me.
-Please stop.
-You won't let go?
[-Jun!]
-Open this door!
-Father!
Let go!
Jun!
You little
Jun-wan.
Jun-wan?
Leave us.
Jun-wan, you see
Go.
Jun-wan
Jun-wan, it's not like you saw.
You.
Have you been beating him behind my back?
Jun-wan, listen to me.
I warned you
that Jun's off limits.
But that little brat
acted out--
You've gotten weaker.
It hurts me to see that.
Doesn't this get old for you?
Haven't you done this enough?
Just stop, darn it!
What's going on?
Tell me what's going on! Where's Jun-wan?
Jun-wan?
Jun-wan, open up.
Jun-wan, open this door!
Open this door, Jun-wan. Jun-wan!
Jun-wan, no!
Jun-wan, open this door!
This is that day all over again.
Ever since that day,
Jun-wan shut down completely.
He no longer laughed.
No
Jun-wan, open this door! Jun-wan!
Jun-wan!
Mommy.
Mom, I'm sick.
Step aside, darn it!
Jun-wan, please open this door.
Jun-wan
Hello? Hello?
Please
Please save my son.
Please save my son.
Jun-wan, oh no.
[Youth Villa]
Hey, So-bin.
Soo-hyun, is Jun back?
Not yet.
He's unreachable at the moment
and I'm worried.
I'll tell him to call you
when he gets back.
-Soo-hyun.
[-Yes?]
It probably won't be of help,
but I can at least listen.
At times,
Jun seems miles away.
I want to close the distance,
but I'm worried
that maybe it's not something
he wants.
If you're patient,
he might close the distance himself.
That's who he is.
[I bet that didn't help.]
It did.
Thanks, Soo-hyun.
What will happen to Father?
He'll be punished
and the world will know about him.
So this is what it comes to.
Once the media gets wind of this,
your life will be disrupted.
It's all right.
I'm no stranger
when it comes to fame.
I made up my mind the day I found you
passed out from his beating.
That I'd protect you from him.
I thought I only had
to cope with him alone.
That I only had to keep you out of range.
I believe it'd then be all right.
Jun-wan.
I'm sorry.
It made things worse for you.
You used to be a pretty boy
as bright as the sun.
I'm still unbelievably pretty, you know.
So don't worry.
I'll shake this off
and live a happy life.
As if nothing had happened.
-What about you?
-What?
What about your life?
You never did anything you wanted
and went down the path
our parents wanted for you.
I'm fine.
You should live your life
doing what you want to.
That doesn't exist.
You should go on a date too.
How do I do that?
Take your own advice
and build a healthy relationship
with So-bin.
I'd rather you do things
that are less by-the-book.
Got it?
I'll be watching you.
I'll get going then.
Get going.
I always walked away
without seeing you off.
Head inside.
I won't until you go.
[The only way to protect you from him]
[was to live the life that he wanted.]
You go ahead and live your life.
Freely.
[Thanks.]
[Thanks for the lift]
[and the advice.]
[But moreover, thanks for reminding me]
[that you're a psychopath.]
[What gives you the right to say that?]
[You beat the crap out of me!]
I see you've already
erased it from your memory,
but I'm reminded of it every day.
So don't you dare forget about it
without my permission.
[Youth Villa]
[Youth Villa]
You're home.
What's wrong?
Jun.
Are you all right?
So-bin's worried sick about you.
What's going on?
[My Jun]
[Youth Villa]
[Myungil University]
The classroom feels empty without Jun.
My eyes are bored.
Don't tell me you still--
Of course not.
It's just how you feel with celebrities.
Why hasn't he been to school?
Ask Kim So-bin.
Being his girlfriend, she'd know.
[Aren't we being too obvious?]
That's exactly how I want to be.
So that everyone knows we're a couple.
Soo-hyun, why are you standing here?
I was waiting for you.
-Me?
-Yes.
I thought you'd like some company
since Jun's not here.
So you'd eat lunch with me in his place?
When did I start speaking casually to you?
It didn't take you long with Jun.
Is that so?
I didn't know
you two would become friends.
I bet me living with Jun
is uncomfortable for you.
Hardly. I rather feel reassured.
To know
he has someone like you by his side
reassures me.
But I can't pack a punch.
Even when I'm not around,
he has you beside him.
He'll have moments to laugh thanks to you.
Is that what is like
to have feelings for someone?
You wish for that person's happiness
even when you're not beside them.
Is there no one like that in your life?
I doubt that's what you want to know.
Why aren't you asking me how Jun's doing?
Because talking about him
only makes me miss him more.
Don't worry too much about Jun.
Could that be Jun?
I missed you.
I missed you.
Why are you still standing there
and ruining the mood?
To hand you my class notes.
Here you go.
What's important are marked,
so keep that in mind.
And here's mine.
What's up with you two?
This isn't exactly what I need right now.
Don't be ridiculous.
After missing classes,
a student should make up for them.
Whose notes will you take?
You can only choose once
and you only get one chance to choose.
Forget it. I'm done taking any classes.
I have two people
who love me enough to take notes,
so why bother?
-No way.
-No way.
Don't hang out with him.
He's rubbing off on you.
[Professor Yeo Jun-wan]
Always the mood-wrecker.
Just a second.
Yes, Professor.
Are you feeling better now?
I returned home that day after
everything was sorted with my father,
but seeing you brought on the tears.
What hurt me for a long time
was no longer a big deal for me
which seemed futile.
I guess the pain became my friend.
I coped with it for too long.
So leaving it behind
felt like I was parting ways
with myself from the past.
That's why you cried your eyes out.
From the pain of a breakup.
We're even now.
-What do you mean?
-I saw you cry too once.
Me?
I've never cried though.
Then I guess you didn't.
Maybe I saw you cry on the inside.
That you should've about 100 times.
[Waiting Room]
Every now and again,
I realize that clinging to you
was the best thing I did.
Yes, you have a knack for that.
I actually can't do it well
because I'm scared of rejection.
Why did you do it then?
I just wanted to.
Are you speaking informally to me?
I was deeply hurt back then, you know.
But I'm glad I didn't give up.
If I hadn't met you,
I wouldn't have made it this far.
I would've stayed as someone
who couldn't speak his heart.
I guess I'm grateful in a way.
What if I never met you though?
I won't think about it.
I really don't want to.
While backed into a corner,
I thought about ending it all.
But I guess my ending
isn't mine to decide.
Why else would I have met you?
I guess I'm grateful in a way.
-What's he doing here--
-Soo-hyun.
I'll talk to him.
I'm sorry.
You should apologize to So-bin, not me.
So-bin is who I'm here to apologize to.
How else could I show my face at school?
But then I spotted you
and I owe you an apology too, so
I'll take time off school
after this semester.
You've changed.
A trip to the police station
knocks sense into you.
I looked back on my past choices.
It's scary there.
I don't want to even go near one again.
My life as a student here is over.
I'll be a ghost
and disappear once I graduate.
As if you're dead?
You make people around you so miserable.
If you behave yourself,
we'll have no problems at all.
Live like you're dead.
Don't create a roadblock for your brother!
You shouldn't ruin your life like that.
-What?
-Make it right.
Everyone can start over, you know.
-Jun--
-Although,
enough with the violence.
That only leaves wounds.
More deeply on one's heart
than on the flesh.
Right. I'm sorry.
-I bet you worried about me.
-What?
Oh, of course.
I barely had an appetite, you know.
You seem like you ate enough.
It was a hassle, right?
-Should I get you some tofu?
-It's not like I went to prison.
I thought you would.
Live more kindly, okay?
Follow my lead and you'll be fine.
-I'm nervous.
-About what?
Would I be able to do it?
What is he doing?
I have
something to say publicly.
Kim So-bin,
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake
I mean,
it was wrong of me. Please forgive me.
I get it, so please stop.
Just make sure you don't hurt anyone
in the same way again.
I won't ever do it again!
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
-Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
-My gosh.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry. Kim So-bin, I'm--
I get it, so please stop saying my name.
So-bin, I'm sorry. Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
-So-bin, I'm sorry.
-Must he go overboard?
-So-bin, I'm sorry.
-Is he putting on a show?
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
-So-bin, I'm sorry.
-Did he take acting classes?
-Please stop!
-So-bin, I'm sorry!
-Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
-Let's talk outside.
-Chun-guk
-Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
Kim So-bin, I'm sorry.
So-bin, I'm sorry.
That'll be the end of today's class.
Quiet, everyone.
The semester is nearly over.
Too bad, isn't it?
-No.
-No way!
I know you hate that it's over
which is why I'm giving out an assignment.
It can be a company, brand, or product.
Decide on one as a team
and film a PR video.
Content and format are at your discretion.
Doesn't it sound like fun?
Will it be part of our grade?
You'll be tested on the content
of the last team project.
Your final grade will be
a half that and a half this.
Those who tanked the team project.
This is your chance to make up for it.
I’ll be grading you on planning,
creativity, and execution,
so play your roles within your team.
Do we choose our teammates freely
like last time?
Your teams?
Stick with your old ones.
This is how most of you felt
according to the team project review.
I don't want the activity
to be a negative experience,
so I'm giving you another chance.
Why?
Are you dreaded to work again
with people you hate?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Enduring those you hate
and finding a way
to overcome that hardship
are part of being in a society.
Trust me and give it another shot.
Dismissed.
Oh, one more thing.
While working on the project,
why not play Secret Santa
with your teammates?
-Are you serious?
-Who would want to do that?
-What?
-Secret Santa?
Secret Santa?
As if it wouldn't be obvious.
What if I got chosen as So-bin's?
She might report you for stalking.
It's dangerous.
I want us to be each other's.
Then it wouldn't show
since we're always affectionate.
-I'm affectionate?
-No, I am.
Let's discuss it right away.
Where should we go? Someplace fancy
-I don't have my credit card.
-The school cafeteria will do.
I'd like to buy everyone a drink.
What?
A sudden change in a person
indicates imminent death.
Take it easy, will you?
Then you can sit this one out.
It'll save me half the money.
Of course, I'll come!
Hold on a second.
Guys, wait.
Well,
I'd like to buy drinks
as a means to apologize.
That's new.
Jun, So-bin, I bet you don't want to.
Right?
As if kneeling is enough
to make her forgive you.
-Maybe some other time--
-Let's go.
What?
Don't go if you don't want to.
Well, I'm not a part of this,
so I'm just going to go.
I'll go
if everyone else goes.
We'll decide on the Secret Santa
when we get there.
Let's go.
What's wrong? Is it me?
Could be.
Next.
What are you doing? Did you pick me?
Of course not.
You already got caught, Soo-hyun.
Did you get me too?
Why is everyone frowning?
Come on everyone. Eat up and stop pouting.
Don't order too many snacks.
We need to leave some room for drinking.
It's not because snacks are expensive.
Excuse me. Can we get a spicy
stir-fried chicken and fish cake stew?
I thought you weren't feeling well.
Hye-ji, you like
spicy stir-fried chicken, right?
How did you know that?
I didn't follow your channel on YouTube.
I just read the comments.
Why would you say something like that?
You're making her feel uncomfortable.
Don't worry about him, Hye-ji.
You're the one
making me feel uncomfortable.
So what does a Secret Santa have to do?
Whatever works.
Why? What are you going to do for me?
What?
I'm not your Secret Santa.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I don't think we need to order anymore.
Everyone seems full.
No, go ahead.
You can order whatever you want.
And there's no need for
you to pay, Yeo Jun.
I'm not the ATM anymore.
I don't have a gold card.
Congratulations on becoming a human.
You've changed, Soo-hyun.
Since we're done with Secret Santa,
let's talk about group project.
You really haven't changed.
Come on, guys. Let's drink.
Come on. Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
You have to do it too, Soo-hyun.
-Cheers Soo-hyun!
-Cheers.
Bottoms up!
My smile is not fake anymore.
What took my mask away?
Bottoms up!
Drink!
[Youth Villa]
Yeo Jun, wake up!
Yeo jun!
Get up. You're going to be late for class.
Okay. Five more minutes.
I can't let this slide for your sake.
Wake up!
Please! Stop being my Secret Santa.
Wake up. You're going to be
late for class.
Let me sleep just a little more.
You're going to be late! Get up!
Please just leave me alone!
Thanks to me, you're not going to be late.
Thanks a lot.
Who is my Secret Santa?
He's not doing anything for me.
Maybe your Secret Santa is just that good.
You don't even know what he did for you.
Yes, I have no idea.
He really is good.
How's your script going?
Don't get me started.
I'm not getting enough sleep
because of my creativity
and my Secret Santa wakes me up
every day early in the morning.
Soo-hyun does that?
Why do you seem so worried?
If I want my boyfriend's work
to stand out,
I have to cast good actors.
I don't know who to cast.
I have no connections.
So what? Just cast anyone.
I'm sure they'll get hooked by
how attractive you are.
I want you to be the hero.
Myungil University hottest guy, Yeo Jun.
I'll pull some strings
and cast my own boyfriend.
My pay is pretty high.
Talk to my manager.
-Manager?
-Yes.
BA major, Kim So-bin. She's my manager.
Well, let's go to your
next schedule, Mr. Hotshot.
I don't want to go to work.
I want to meet my girlfriend.
I miss her so much.
Well, you'll have to endure it
if you want to succeed.
I don't want to work.
No, you have to work.
-I do?
-Yes.
-You're doing what?
-I'm going on a blind date.
You do that?
My friend wanted me to go in her stead.
In her stead?
Then does that mean you'll date
and get married in her stead too?
Wait, are you jealous?
You shouldn't just meet anyone.
He's not just anyone.
He works at the school library
and he's a junior majoring in law.
I checked him out in secret.
The library?
He looks good when he wears glasses
and he seems smart.
He's totally my style.
I am a little creeped out since
I've never been on a blind date before.
Should I not go?
I won't go if you don't want me to.
Go ahead.
What?
You want to go.
I mean, you already checked him out.
I only saw him because
I had to go to the library.
I know you don't go to the library.
What are you talking about? I go to
the library for the vitamin drinks!
The vending machine there
sells really good ones.
I'm going to the library
to buy vitamin drinks.
Young-ran.
Were you the one who left
the vitamin drink when I was sleeping?
I don't know!
[I won't go if you don't want me to.]
[Go ahead.]
He told me to go.
-Hey, Wanted Criminal.
-Hi, Girl With a Story.
I have an upset stomach.
Let's go get some ice cream.
When you have an upset stomach
Go day drinking?
No, you need a nice cup of
rich chocolate milk.
Oh, this is so sweet. Why drink this
when you have an upset stomach?
You have to coat your stomach
with something sweet.
I'm not feeling well either.
I heard you got dumped
after telling a girl how you feel.
Is there something else?
Of course, there is.
I still have feelings for her.
Feelings are so stubborn.
They don't know when to give up.
How did you go through this
for seven years?
Well Seven years just passed by.
No one intends to have
a crush on someone for seven years.
Things happened
and your crush just continues.
Will it last seven years for me too?
I told Soo-hyun
I was going on a blind date.
What did he say?
He didn't tell you to go
right away, did he?
He did.
I got dumped
when I didn't even confess, right?
I'm not going to answer that.
It hurts me more.
Hey, you're crueler than him!
How about we help each other?
When we have the urge to call our crush,
we call each other instead.
So we'll be each other's substitute?
Yes. We have to help each other.
[M Foods CEO's wife
reports him for domestic violence.]
[CEO Yeo Myung-hoon]
Secretary Kim.
Get in here!
Secretary Kim!
Where is everyone?
Secretary Cha!
Honey, I'm home.
You should come greet your husband.
Hey!
She is out of her mind.
She is definitely out of her mind.
There's nothing in here.
Maybe I should just order in.
What?
Did that smarty pants forget the passcode?
Hey, where's your mom?
Come out!
Bring her to me now.
Why are you looking for Mom?
You have no right.
What? I have no right?
Do you know what I'm going through
because of you?
Why is that my fault? It's your own fault.
How dare you talk back to me?
So many people have suffered
because of your abusive behaviors.
Why must you live like this? Why?
You arrogant brat. Hey.
Who's supporting you financially?
Do you earn money? Whose money is this?
Whose money is all this?
Do you earn money
so you can have a reason to beat us?
-What?
-Just get the punishment you deserve,
apologize to everyone,
and start over.
You little
Enough, seriously!
That kid who used to shudder in fear
after getting beaten up by you
is dead now.
If you lay a finger on Jun-wan
or Mom again,
it won't end with just calling the cops.
Hey.
Even you look down on me now?
Dad. Dad!
That's all in your head!
Please let it go
and stop being delusional.
"Delusional"?
No one looks down on you.
You are the one
who looks down on yourself.
You're torturing yourself!
[Jun-wan.]
Hey, Jun.
[I just called to hear your voice.]
Good. I'm glad you called.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
Everything's good.
Sweet dreams.
You too.
[Father, Incoming Call]
Hello.
I worked hard without a single day
of proper rest.
I started out as the low man
on the totem pole
and managed to become the CEO
with my skills and hard work alone.
I did that for our family.
I know you made a sacrifice
so we could have a comfortable childhood.
Jun-wan.
Why do we have to live like this?
Talk to your mom
and persuade her to come home.
She always listens to you, you know.
I love your mother.
You and Jun too.
I really love all of you.
Is that
"love" to you?
What?
We're no longer your family.
No wife and no children.
You have no one now.
-What?
-I should have said this to you back then.
Instead,
I said it to someone I love and hurt him.
I'll make everything go back
to the way it was, although it's late.
Do you think you won't be affected?
Everyone at the university will find out.
I don't care.
[Idiot Nam Soo-hyun]
[Wanted Criminal]
[Girl With a Story]
Who is she talking to?
I hope it's not Nam Soo-hyun.
Young-ran.
-Yes?
-You must miss Mi-ju too.
I'm sure she's doing okay.
She's a strong girl, you know.
How about a beer? Just the two of us.
Cheers.
I can't even enjoy this beer.
Is something bothering you?
Will the person I like
ever like me back, like a miracle?
Miracles happen.
I forgot for a moment
that you're a living example.
Having a crush on someone
Looking back,
I think it was more like a habit.
Falling for someone, getting hurt,
and feeling hopeful
about things that didn't even matter.
Without Jun, I would've never been able
to quit that habit.
Habits die hard.
But such a miracle
will happen to you as well.
I'm sure of it.
What does Soo-hyun mean to you?
Soo-hyun is
The past seven years of my life.
The past seven years
were all about Soo-hyun.
Mi-ju reminds me of myself.
And I envy her courage.
I always thought I wouldn't be able
to do what she did,
but I think it's time I gave up.
Young-ran.
Hey, why are you getting teary-eyed?
I didn't know you were so empathetic.
I'm just sad.
I can't do it anymore
because I'm exhausted.
I used to be always full of energy,
but I can't go on
because I'm mentally exhausted.
Hey, it's okay. I'm older than you.
So what?
I can't even comfort you
because I'm younger?
Si-jae.
What?
I was wondering why he was so quiet.
Where did he go?
[Vitamin Drink]
Take it easy.
You need to look after your health.
I will. Thank you, Professor.
By the way, what should I wear?
You can wear whatever you want.
Really?
What kind of song
do you want to hear that day?
Just pick something you're good at.
I'm good at everything,
so there are too many to choose from.
Just pick the song
you feel most confident with.
Oh, I should try to look after my voice.
But it's your event.
What if I steal the spotlight
because everyone loves my voice so much?
I'm already nervous.
-Gosh, you scared me.
-Keep talking.
Why did you suddenly stop talking
as soon as I walked in?
We weren't really talking about anything.
I was just talking to myself.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Have a good day.
Park Si-jae.
-What's going on between you two?
-What?
What are you suspecting?
What you're thinking.
Don't be absurd.
Go apologize to Ms. Seol.
Then what were you two whispering about?
Just something, which I can't tell you.
-Are you that curious?
-No, I'm not curious.
I'm worried people would gossip.
It'll ruin your reputation.
-What did I even do?
-Be careful.
If you slip, you'll fall off the cliff.
If I "slip"? What is she talking about?
My joints are still healthy!
[Strawberry Milk]
You got this for me?
If you prefer banana milk,
I'll go exchange it.
-Are you my Secret Santa?
-Oh, no.
I won't lie again.
-Anyway, enjoy.
-Wait, Chun-guk.
["Poems for the Heart"]
Read one poem a day.
It'll purify your heart.
Did someone ask you to do this?
No, I just wanted to give it to you.
I thought you'd find the poems helpful.
["Poems for the Heart"]
A poetry book
Only Jung-ho would be this thoughtful.
Oh, he must be my Secret Santa.
Anyway, tell him I said thanks.
Bye.
I'm his Secret Santa.
Am I not thoughtful?
I gave it to her.
-Here.
-Hey, it's okay.
What's with you?
I did it for free.
You don't need to be sorry. I'm off.
Why is he acting all nice?
Where is my Secret Santa?
Soo-hyun saved seats for us.
-Let's sit there.
-No, let's sit somewhere else.
[Fashion Brand Z, Promo Video]
Let's begin.
We made a promo video for fashion brand Z.
What's the brand tagline?
The tagline is, "Don't look any further.
You are the answer."
There's a girl who no one ever notices.
She's a college freshman
with no unique style or her own
or a good sense of fashion.
But she meets a popular guy at her school
who has tens of thousands of followers
on social media.
This is a story of how
their encounter changes her.
It's not just about fashion.
We focused on her journey
of finding her true self.
