(Friendly Rivalry)

Can you let go of my hand?

Seul-gi, it's your first day

at our school today.

Hold my hand tight,

so you don't get lost.

Kyung.

You're smarter than me.

Can you explain?

What exactly is going on?

No idea.

We haven't introduced

ourselves yet, have we?

I'm Joo Ye-ri.

What about you?

I'm Woo Seul-gi.

I'm Choi Kyung.

Now that I think about it

I never actually

told her my name.

Seul-gi, it's your first day

at our school today.

Hold my hand tight,

so you don't get lost.

By the way, Seul-gi,

why did you transfer?

It's rare for someone

to transfer in senior year.

Because of my parents.

What do your parents do?

Did they get transferred here for work?

Not exactly.

Where did you live before?

You wouldn't know it if I told you.

It's a small place in the country.

I also moved here from another province.

I live alone now.

Living in a 60-pyeong house with a housekeeper

you call that living alone?

(Translator's note: 200 square meters house)

Do you really understand what it's like

to live alone without your parents?

Kyung probably doesn't see

her parents much either.

They're always busy with trials, right?

Yeah.

Your mom's a lawyer,

and your dad's a prosecutor.

Why not study law?

What does that have

to do with me?

Isn't Je-yi aiming for Korea University’s medical school

just to inherit her dad’s hospital?

Then are your parents music majors?

Not exactly.

But I can fulfill

my mom’s artistic dream

Didn't you choose music just because harps

are expensive and there’s less competition?

Hey!

By the way, Seul-gi, do you also want

to go to Korea University?

A lot of people carry merchandise

from their dream university.

Like a good luck charm.

(Korea University)

I'm also collecting Korea University merchandise. Yours is a limited edition, really hard to get.

Do you really want to

go to Korea University?

Which department?

Well

I want to go to medical school too.

So you spent the holidays at a boarding cram school

and just got back today?

What about private tutoring?

Who's your tutor?

I don’t have a tutor.

No tutor?

What about cram school?

Which one do you go to?

I don’t go to a cram school either.

You're like a rare character.

Look at Je-yi sitting

next to you.

Even though she’s basically guaranteed a spot

at Korea University’s medical school,

she still takes three private

math lessons a week.

Kyung, stop it.

This is ridiculous.

Thinking you can get into

Korea University without cram school…

And even aiming for medical school?

That's pure fantasy.

But the solution

methods and answers…

Aren’t they all

written in the workbook?

What kind of nonsense is that?

Are you naive or just ignorant?

I really don’t get it.

Seul-gi, you’re right.

The answers are in the workbook.

But there are multiple ways

to solve the same problem.

Learning from

different teachers can only help.

Senior.

Thank you.

That's all we needed.

Lately, even after taking medicine,

I still feel exhausted.

Then quit smoking.

Do you want to get an IV drip?

I can call the hospital.

The IV that her dad provides

works really well.

Seul-gi, do you want

to get one too?

My dad takes care of my friends' health

like their personal doctor.

We all need to stay strong

to study properly.

Thanks for the offer.

But I’m fine.

Alright.

Let me know if you need anything.

What are you doing?

I’m changing seats.

It's because of a student named

Kim Na-ri or Choi Na-ri.

She agreed to switch seats with me.

Did Je-yi agree?

Do I need her permission

to change seats?

Why should I trust you

and drink this water?

Who knows what

you might have put in it?

What are you talking about?

I didn’t put anything in it.

I just saw you take medicine without water…

You probably think

I’m a paranoid lunatic.

But you’ll see soon enough.

Once you get chosen

by Yoo Je-yi

It won’t be easy

to live a normal life.

What exactly are you planning?

You’re not seriously thinking

of staying friends with that country girl, are you?

Hey, get it away.

I hate mice.

Isn’t it kind of cute?

I oppose letting

an unidentified person join us.

Oh, really?

So what if you oppose?

Are you serious?

Of course.

(Watercolor Paints - Beginner Set)

(Looking for Chaehwa Girls' High School Uniform)

Seul-gi, why are you sitting here?

Because

My eyesight is bad.

I can’t see the board.

Then why didn’t you say so earlier?

Let’s both switch seats.

Seon-hye.

Let’s not trouble anyone else.

If that’s how you feel…

Then so be it.

Je-yi, you’re not upset, right?

Of course not.

Let’s get along from now on.

No need to say that.

It’s always been my wish

to sit next to you.

I never thought it’d come true in senior year.

Looks like I’ll get into

a good university with you.

Teach me well from now on.

Teach you?

No need to say that between friends.

It’s my first time sitting

next to someone so good at studying.

I’m really nervous.

It’s also my first time sitting

with someone I didn’t choose.

"The number you dialed is powered off.

You will be redirected to voicemail."

"Charges will apply after the beep."

Hello.

How have you been?

So today was

your first day of school.

Did you find a phone

among your dad’s belongings?

I didn't see it.

It’s an old Galaxy phone.

There’s a Korea University

keychain attached to it.

You’re sure

you haven’t seen it?

No.

Sorry.

You don’t need to apologize to me.

I heard that after she went missing,

her mother passed away too.

Then why go through

the trouble of finding her?

Are you really planning

to bring her back home,

since she's has no blood relation to you,

and live together?

(Missing Child Alert

Name: Woo Seul-gi)

(Seller: Are you looking for

a Chaehwa Girls’ High uniform?)

(Woo Seul-gi: Yes. Can we meet today?)

(Seller: Yeoksam Station, Exit 8, 10 PM.)

(Yeoksam)

(Seller: Have you arrived at Exit 8?)

(Woo Seul-gi: Yes. Where are you?)

(Seller: Walk straight ahead after exiting.)

(Seller: Turn left at the first alley.)

(Seller: You’re almost there.

Just a bit further…)

(Seller: Do you see the Erato Hotel

with the gold sign? Wait for me there.)

The uniform?

Yes.

(Incorrect password)

(Incorrect password)

(Unknown Number)

Oh no.

I accidentally spilled it on you.

It’s okay.

I’ll just wash it off.

I feel so bad.

What should I do?

It’s really fine.

But I’m not sure…

if this stain will come out.

Yeah, true.

Guess it depends on how thick your skin is.

You don’t even care about

something this filthy.

Don’t you get it?

Your uniform smells like semen.

You think Je-yi is

being nice to you,

so now you see

yourself as Cinderella?

- So disgusting.

- Absolutely gross.

What is she gonna do?

- This is too much.

- So nasty.

Seriously

What now?

Hey…

Hey, move aside.

Damn it, Seul-gi.

When did you change your pad?

You reek of blood.

sh*t, she’s not using

an insole, is she?

She must be using it as a pad.

Take it off and show us.

This is hilarious.

b*tch.

Seul-gi.

Seul-gi, you fit right

into my arms.

So we’re about the same size.

I hate it when my clothes get dirty.

I always keep

a few extra sets in my locker.

Just wear this for now.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Your clothes are soaked.

How can you wear them?

Just wear this.

I’ll help you.

I said I don’t need it.

I’m not like you. Even if my clothes are

dirty and smelly, I can still wear them.

I said it’s fine,

so why are you insisting?

Don’t you understand what

"I appreciate it" means?

Let's get this straight.

Not everyone likes your kindness.

Alright.

I get it.

Do as you wish.

Let’s see if you have

improved from winter training.

You have 20 minutes.

Begin.

This test covers material

we haven’t learned yet.

But no one seems surprised.

Am I the only one

who hasn't studied this?

By now, you should all have

at least reached question 7.

Time’s up.

Put your pens down.

The last row,

collect the answer sheets.

Yoo Je-yi, 10 points.

Choi Kyung, 9 points.

Kim Beom-su, 8 points.

Jo A-ra, 8 points.

Gu Chae-ryeong, 7 points.

Lee Si-u, 6 points.

Kim Na-ri, 6 points.

Park Byeong-hui, 6 points.

Anything lower than this

isn’t even worth counting. Understood?

That’s all.

Why isn’t my tutor answering?

I’m going crazy.

Je-yi, you’re the fastest

at solving these.

Je-yi, what are the answers

to questions 2 and 5?

- What about question 7?

- And question 8?

I’ll start reading

from question 1.

a is 5.

The answer to question 2 is -3.

Teacher.

What is it?

Can I know my score?

Woo Seul-gi, 4 points.

I heard you were ranked first

at your previous school.

I had some expectations,

but this is disappointing.

As expected, rural schools

can't compare to ours at all.

Teacher, will you go over

the solutions next class?

No.

This test was just for assessment.

It’s for level evaluation.

That way, the cram schools can gauge our school's academic standards.

By the way, Ye-ri,

where did you get your hair done?

Why? Does it look good?

Yeah, it’s really pretty.

I know, right?

That’s her, right?

Yeah.

But what’s up with her shirt?

Such an embarrassment to our school.

What the hell is she doing?

She must be crazy.

(I shouldn't have looked.

She's insane. Disgusting.)

(So sloppy. f*cking gross.

That’s a Chaehwa Girls’ High uniform.)

(Shameless. Absolutely revolting. I feel sick.)

(Shocking. A beggar. Was it really just a uniform purchase?)

(How much did she pay for it?

Seriously, why does the school accept just anyone?)

(Can someone find her info?

She’s completely insane. I’m calling the police.)

(Don’t disgrace Chaehwa.)

Alright, I understand.

I’ll discuss it

Okay.

But, student

Are you okay?

I’m fine.

(Jeong Jo-jun Elite Cram School Admissions Guide)

We already saw

these questions last week.

I'll quickly go over the ones you got wrong the most.

Questions 5, 7, and 8.

Listen carefully.

Log c squared equals 6.

Find the values of a and c.

Look, where is the log function?

It's in the denominator, right?

You need to move it

to the numerator.

Alright, just shift this

along with the exponent.

Okay, now we just move this over…

Student, you should be inside the classroom.

What are you doing?

Wait, weren’t you

just here for a consultation?

Right?

Hey, stop!

Damn it.

There’s a student in the elevator

who was eavesdropping.

There’s an emergency exit

at the far right end of the hallway.

Go up to the rooftop

and hide. I’ll call you.

Manager, hello.

Je-yi, it’s you.

Were you in the elevator alone just now?

Yes, why?

A girl from your school was caught

recording the lecture and ran away.

She should’ve taken this elevator down.

That’s odd.

Manager.

What?

Well…

Take it off.

What now?

What are you gonna do?

Just stay still.

This is hilarious.

Where are you going?

Take it off.
