01x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

Are you just gonna

stare at Min-ju all day long?

Wait.

Welcome.

Why don't you say something?

Any rock albums available?

-Your rock albums, miss, where are they?

-Huh?

Oh.

The rock section,

it's all the way in the back, sir.

Aren't you a classmate of ours?

-Yes.

-Then what's with the formality?

How… how do we know each other?

You always collect my exams in class.

I sit in the back row.

Oh. Uh, right.

This song is real nice.

Who is this again?

-Seo Ji-won.

-Hmm?

S… S… Seo…

What did you say?

Oh.

Uh… uh, it's… it's…

Hey.

It's Seo Ji-won's album.

The song is "Gather My Tears."

-Mmm.

-Seo Ji-won?

Yeah, you know him, don't you?

-Nope, no idea.

-I don't believe that for a second.

Mmm, well, actually, nope.

I believe

that I've never heard of him at all.

You smart a*s, seriously.

I like it. Maybe I'll buy the album.

Where is it?

Uh, I didn't see anything by Seo Ji-won.

Oh, Just a minute.

Looks like people bought them all already.

Oh, really?

Well, that's too bad.

Here. Ju… just leave your name

and your number for me, and…

I… I'll call you.

When we get them back in stock, that is.

Mmm, our number? You got it.

Hey, In-gyu. Why don't you get it for me

when it's back in stock, huh?

Write your number.

Um…

um… I… I shouldn't.

You're the one buying the album.

-Uh, I think…

-Mmm…

Mmm.

Uh…

-Is this your pager phone number then?

-Mmm. Don't forget, okay?

O… okay.

A TIME CALLED YOU

Jun-hee!

-Oh, good morning.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, everyone.

-Libra. Look at that.

"You'll be most fortunate

this week with money." Yay.

Horoscopes again? Seriously?

You've been saying it's never right,

so why read it?

Hey, if your horoscope says

something good, you feel good, right?

-Want me to read yours?

-Nope.

"Sometime this week you'll

form a mysterious connection…"

"…with a new acquaintance," so it says.

Well, I spend all my time at my apartment

or at the office. You know that.

So how exactly will I

meet somebody new then? Hmm?

Well, listen here, Jun-hee.

Hmm?

So it's your birthday coming up.

What would you like?

-Oh, that.

-Uh-huh.

I don't need anything, all right?

Celebrate the fact

that you're getting older.

Yeah.

Oh, hold on. Actually, wait.

This year you're all alone.

Um,

what I mean is…

if there's anything that you want,

and I mean anything, you should tell me.

I think we should all be going

to that meeting now.

-Time to go.

-The meeting, yeah.

-Let's go!

-Yikes.

Yes, we will start

a collaboration with Lee Do-ha,

the well-known makeup artist

and social media influencer.

Once that's confirmed, we'll launch

our app with the new functions.

By then we'll be ready.

All right, let's do that.

The thing you mentioned earlier,

what was it? The facial recognition.

How's that been going, huh?

How accurate is it?

Uh, let's look

at the PowerPoint presentation.

-See you later. I'm out for today.

-Okay.

Ms. Han. You're seeing, uh,

somebody new tonight, aren't you?

-Oh. How did you know?

-Please!

Just look at you. You're all decked out

and everything, huh?

I knew it. You look different today.

The man I’m meeting tonight

is really, really handsome, so

I dressed up a little.

-Are you serious? I'm so jealous.

-Mm-hmm.

I have to get going. Okay, I'm off.

-Oh, actually…

-Bye!

-Wait.

-Good luck!

-You go this!

-I got this!

See ya!

She rebounded a lot faster

than I was expecting.

What was that?

Oh, I meant Ms. Han.

After what happened last year,

she was hurting for a while.

She was so depressed back then.

And now, she seems totally fine.

What? Did Ms. Han break up

with her boyfriend last year?

-Huh?

-Huh?

Ah, you're new,

so nobody explained anything to you.

Say that again.

It'd be so nice if she

really had put him out of her mind

and was going to see another guy tonight.

Hmm?

-What's going on? What is it? Tell me.

-Eh. It's better you don't know.

-Why won't anybody say?

-Let's all go home.

My dear brothers and sisters,

we are gathered here to mourn

the passing of Koo Yeon-jun,

who walked with us as a brother

in this community.

But to us Christians,

death is not the end,

but rather, the beginning of eternal life.

So we can have the hope

that we will be reunited with the Lord.

Ah, you're here.

We'll just be living apart

for only one year,

so there's no need to worry.

Let's focus on the things

we need to work on while I'm away.

Just please trust me on this.

Yeon-jun,

promise me you'll let me do this.

The New York branch

is where the opportunity is right now.

I can't stop you from going, hmm?

You've already made up your mind,

haven't you?

Yes.

How about this?

I… I'll quit this job for a bit,

and go with you to New York?

Jun-hee,

I can't let you go to New York.

Not for an entire year.

I need to be with you.

Actually,

please don't go.

Brothers and sisters,

it is because we have died with Christ

that we all believe we will

be resurrected with him.

Jun-hee!

Hey, Jun-hee!

Why did you just leave?

You didn’t bother to even say hi to us.

Oh.

Uh… Uh, sorry…

I guess I don't even know

why I came to the service.

For all we know,

Yeon-jun could still be alive out there.

So what if his name was

on the list of passengers?

His… his body wasn't even found yet.

There's still a chance

that he survived that crash.

So… until I see it with my own eyes,

I don’t think that I should believe

that he’s dead quiet just yet.

I still have a hard time accepting myself

that Yeon-jun’s no longer with us anymore.

It’s the one-year anniversary.

I know there's been a lot of

news recently about the plane crash

that Yeon-jun was on.

And my heart hurts.

It breaks all over again.

But if I may…

Jun-hee, I just really worry for you.

You must be going through hell since

you won't accept the truth

that Yeon-jun's really gone.

You never got to put it on, did you?

The engagement ring that Yeon-jun bought.

I’m so sorry, Jun-hee.

What… what engagement ring?

He never gave you the ring?

I thought… Yeon-jun said he was

going to give the ring on your birthday.

He was going to propose last year

just before you left for New York.

It was supposed to be a surprise.

Happy birthday.

I know It's been difficult.

However,

I still wanted to give this to you.

This is the box you were working on

at that shop of yours, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

I wanted to surprise you with it,

so I decided to keep it a secret from you.

I was wondering

what you were doing in there.

-Is this what I think it is?

-Yeah.

Well, it’s your favorite flower, isn't it?

Mmm.

It’s so pretty.

Why don't you open it and have a peak?

I put a lot of time and care into this,

including every small detail.

If you look inside a little bit closer,

in the compartment there--

Yeon-jun.

I need you to listen

to what I'm about to say.

Mmm. What is it?

Don’t abandon your life here.

I don't want you to travel all the way

to New York just to be with me.

I know you, and I worry that you'll

sneak off to New York later on.

You're telling me

you're all right with just…

just living so far away?

Yeon-jun, we have to think

about our future together, yeah?

We have to save up the money

if we want to take out a loan

and buy an apartment in Seoul.

-And that's after we get married.

-Is that all that really matters to you?

If money is not what matters,

then what does?

Every minute that I get to spend with you

is what matters most, Jun-hee!

The money isn't the issue here.

It's not about an apartment!

Don't you care at all?

I care! You know that I do.

I’m going to save

so I can create a real life with you.

I don’t want to fight over money

while we’re living together, okay?

Considering we’ll end up

with each other after I come back,

in the grand scheme, a year is nothing!

It might not just be a year!

What if it goes longer than a year…

and it ends with us separating?

Are you seriously that unsure about us?

Do you really think

that we’ll break up so easily?

So this is

what you really think of me then.

That I will break up with you

once I'm alone in New York.

-Jun-hee, I don't think that.

-I'm going to be late for my flight.

Driver!

Wait for me!

-Is everything okay?

-Huh?

The bu… bu… bu… bus…

Hmm.

-Here, take it.

-Huh?

You better hurry

or else we're all gonna get detention.

Uh… taking a scooter to school,

is that even allowed?

Hmm? Of course it isn't.

We'll be sneaky about it. Don't worry.

Now, hurry up.

Hey, In-gyu.

You should give her a ride instead.

I should?

What are you doing?

My scooter's a piece of junk. Hmm.

-See you there!

-Uh…

Okay.

Hold onto me, okay?

Hey, Min-ju, hurry!

We're gonna be late!

-Come on!

-I got this.

Hey, mister! Mister!

We rode our scooters,

and we're still late.

Stop right there!

You rode your scooter to school?

And now, you’re climbing over the gate,

is that right?

Crap.

Hey. All right, get up.

I said get up.

You little b*stards, huh?

As your homeroom teacher,

I'm disappointed.

And as director of students affairs,

I, uh, have to reprimand you all.

You both rode your scooters to school…

and were late.

Why don't you try behaving for once, huh?

We're very sorry.

-We're very sorry!

-We're very sorry, sir!

Hey, tell me your class.

-I’m a junior, sir.

-What?

Uh, I’m a junior here.

We're classmates with her.

Oh… I did, okay?

She's that one girl.

You sit in the last row

back near the window, right?

Do you even know her name?

You little b*stard. Why are you laughing?

-Hey, do another lap!

-No!

-Don't argue with me. Another one!

-Darn it!

Seriously?

Ms. Han Jun-hee,

open your eyes.

Mmm.

Mmm.

What is this?

Oh no, I'm sorry.

This is your toothbrush.

Mmm, it's all right.

Still, it's a pretty bad habit.

I’ll get you a new toothbrush later.

Please, it’s really okay.

Jun-hee,

I think that since we're a couple,

it's all right to share things like this.

That doesn’t prove

you love each other.

Wait a minute.

You’ve used my toothbrush, haven’t you?

Huh?

-Uh, only few times… when I was drunk.

-Hey!

You finish up.

I'll make us something to eat.

Hey, Koo Yeon-jun!

Just how many times have you used it, huh?

Be honest, okay?

A YEAR AGO, A PLANE CRASHED

DUE TO A MECHANICAL DEFEC

MEMORIAL CEREMONY LATER TODAY

FOR THE 183 VICTIMS

COMMEMORATIVE MESSAGES

FOR SKAI FLIGHT 6809 CRASH ANNIVERSARY

Sky Airlines flight 6809 embarked

from Incheon International Airport

to New York one year ago today.

Due to a malfunction,

the plane crashed beneath the ocean,

and everybody on the flight

perished in the ensuing accident.

Some of the bodies of the 183 passengers

have yet to be recovered,

adding to the heartbreak

of friends and loved ones.

As today is the one-year anni--

I'll correct this mistake

and then send it.

You approved this, right?

Just talk it over with Sang-h*

and keep me up to date about everything.

Will you just please give it your okay?

WE WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HERE'S A 20% COUPON TO CELEBRATE

Jun-hee.

-Did you forget it's your birthday?

-Ah!

It's yours. Go ahead.

Is it really my birthday?

Yeah, you always forget

'cause you're working so late.

Mmm.

Well, I have you to remind me,

so I can afford to forget it.

-You skipped dinner, didn't you?

-Mm-hmm.

What's in the bag?

Go ahead. Open it.

Hmm.

This bag is

from that expensive restaurant.

Mm-hmm. You've been talking about

that place lately.

Mmm. Wow, Yeon-jun.

Well, I guess it'll be one lucky lady.

Whoever I end up marrying, that is.

I could get used to having

birthday surprises.

If you keep surprising me like this,

I’m going to expect it

for every year here on out.

In that case,

Jun-hee, you will get this treatment

every year from now on. I promise.

Okay.

All right. make a wish,

blow out the candle, and happy thoughts.

Ms. Han.

Uh, yes?

This was… it was made out to you.

Any idea who mailed it to the office?

Mmm, it was left by someone

at the front desk, so I was told.

You’re so lucky, Ms. Han.

Let me guess.

I'd say it's probably

a secret admirer, huh?

Am I right? I must be right!

When will I ever

receive something like that?

Excuse me. Do you know who brought in

the flowers that were just delivered?

Oh, unfortunately,

he didn't leave his name. I'm sorry.

What did this man look like? Did you see?

I did, but he actually just left.

He went on the elevator.

Hold on! Wait!

-Jun-hee speaking.

-Hi, Jun-hee. It’s me.

-I'll call you back in a second, okay?

-This won’t take long.

I… registered Yeon-jun’s death today.

I thought you should know.

Hi, Chan-yeong.

Now?

Mm-hmm.

It must feel very strange for you,

coming back here after so long.

Oh. I saw you

in that magazine article today.

The headline was really impressive.

What did it say again?

Uh… oh.

"Objets d’Art and Spaces,

Chan-yeong, the Great Artist."

"A Truly Sensuous Visionary."

That's right.

However, I’m hardly

what you would call a visionary.

"Visionary" is a label better suited

for Yeon-jun, in my opinion.

Uh…

I didn't have the strength

to touch Yeon-jun’s belongings for a year.

I pulled this box from a drawer we shared.

I thought you might want this.

Yeon-jun.

Did you draw this yourself?

Hmm?

-Mmm.

-Who is this girl?

-Just a friend.

-Just a friend?

So who is she?

She's just a friend.

Hey. You're being suspiciously vague,

aren't you?

-Is she your first love?

-I can't say.

I'm not going to let this go

just because you're laughing at it.

Tell me!

Who is it, huh?

-Hey stop, okay?

-Hey, who is it? Who is it?

Who? Who is it, Yeon-jun? Huh?

Any chance, um…

that Yeon-jun, uh, ever mentioned to you,

um,

who the woman is in this drawing?

No, I just always figured

that it was you in the drawing.

Well, he framed this picture,

so it must… have been meaningful to him.

Even still, I'm curious.

Jun-hee.

I'm worried about you.

I guess you have questions for Yeon-jun

you never got to ask.

WEEKEND PICNIC

IN-YEONG CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID

SHE WANTED TO SEE ME AT YOUR SERVICE

I SAW A GUY WITH A BOUQUET TODAY

WONDER IF IT WAS FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND

I'm at the café

where we often used to go to together.

The café owner had asked me

why these days

I don't come here with you anymore.

He asked me if we had an argument.

Yeon-jun,

I really miss you a lot today.

Yeon-jun,

today's my birthday.

You promised me you would always make

my birthdays special, no matter what.

I only have a few more minutes left

before it's over.

Aren't you going to make it special?

I'm waiting.

SENT A PHOTO

NO POSTS YE

Yeon-jun!

I'm sure that's Yeon-jun.

That girl isn't me though. Who is she?

And who's that other guy?

If a molecule receives oxygen,

that is called oxidation.

When a molecule loses oxygen,

that is called reduction, right?

Do you understand?

Then, if a molecule loses hydrogen,

is that called oxidation or reduction?

Anyone?

How pitiful.

Any volunteers in here?

Fine I'll pick randomly

Where's seat number 16?

Huh?

So… what is that process called?

It's all right even if you're wrong.

It's either one or the other.

Is it oxidation?

Good. That's right.

Well done. It's oxidation.

Which would make this reduction.

So today, the assignment will be

to carry out

an oxidation and reduction experiment

using magnesium, got it?

Take the necessary materials off this desk

and split into groups of three

and complete the experiment.

Once finished, hand in a report.

Understood?

Yes.

Hey, be my partner.

What? Oxidation?

It's hard

to get oxidation reactions.

Do you mind if we join you?

Huh?

Uh, sure.

-You should sit here.

-Great. Let's get on with this.

You two can handle it

by yourselves, right?

I think this, uh, beaker has

the copper sulfate solution.

Oh.

Then this must be

the magnesium right here.

Mmm.

-Oh. Uh…

-Uh…

Hmm.

I would like to know who you are

and why you sent me this picture.

Could we meet up or talk over the phone?

So who sent you this picture?

I went into the account,

but there wasn't any activity there.

I even messaged them

and there was no reply.

I'm guessing

you're the woman standing there?

I don't even know who that is.

I don't recall ever taking this picture.

Are you sure? What if you just

don't remember taking this photo

and you really were

with Yeon-jun that day?

I've never worn

my hair like that or worn such clothes.

And more than anything else,

that guy on the left…

-Mm-hmm?

-…I don't remember him at all.

Oh, wow.

Ah, Sang-h*, by any chance,

could you look to see if this photo

was ever uploaded anywhere else online?

We could see if there are any clues.

That's, uh… child's play, hmm?

So you select the image and upload it

just like this onto here.

And search, search, search…

Let's see. The picture…

Where's the picture?

Oh, here it is.

Ah! It was posted here in 2008

on this School Days website, apparently.

School Days?

Oh, it was a site

where you could look for anyone you

went to school with way back in the day.

But they shut down the website,

so there's no more information

at the moment.

By the looks of it,

this photo was taken

with a traditional camera

and scanned digitally,

then uploaded on here

before it was posted.

-Mm-hmm.

-That's right.

You can totally tell

by the quality and texture of the picture.

So who is that girl standing there?

Is it Yeon-jun's first love?

I know Nam Si-heon's number now.

NAM SI-HEON

Sorry, what was your name again?

Kwon

Min… ju.

Kwon Min-ju?

Hmm.

Why can't we just get rid

of this piece of junk already?

Why can't you just get a new car?

Yeah, but this drives fine.

Why spend more money, huh?

Seriously, who still drives around

in a car with a cassette deck these days?

That's the reason I have this car.

-Listen, Jun-hee.

-Ow!

It's the charm of having a vintage car.

Want me to get out?

Well, I'll just wait till you're sleeping

and get rid of your car then.

Yeah.

Perfect! I'm gonna be driving

this for another ten years, okay?
