DA-HYE, YOU LOOK REALLY PALE TODAY.
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?
WAIT, ARE YOU CRYING? WHY???
DID YOU MESS UP THE EXAM?
OH NO...
HANG IN THERE. I THINK I'LL HAVE TO RETAKE IT, TOO.
THE OTHERS THINK I FILLED IN MY CSAT ANSWER SHEET INCORRECTLY,
OR THAT I OVERSLEPT AND MISSED THE EXAM.
IT DIDN'T MATTER. I JUST WANTED TO CRY ALL DAY.
LIKE SOMEONE HAD DIED. I JUST WANTED TO CRY MY EYES OUT.
HEY. DID JUNG DA-HYE BOMB HER CSAT?
NO IDEA.
CLASS 4 IS LIKE A FUNERAL HOME RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SHE'S CRYING.
HEY...
...WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
LOOK AT THIS.
Portrait
THIS IS FUCKING HILARIOUS.
LMAO, LOOK AT HER FACE. THAT'S BRUTAL.
YOU CRAZY BASTARD, DELETE IT.
AH, SHIT!
DELETE IT.
NO WAY,
WHY DID YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF DA-HYE,
...ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
DID YOU JUST BUMP ME?
HEY, HEY. BUM-SEOK, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
I SAID, DELETE IT.
YOU'RE NOT DELETING IT?
...OR DO YOU WANT ME TO SMASH YOUR PHONE?
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ASSHOLE.
...ACTING LIKE HE'S SO FUCKING TOUGH.
SHE'S NOT EVEN YOUR GIRLFRIEND. WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DAMN PROTECTIVE?
DID YOU FINALLY GET DUMPED?
I DIDN'T GET DUMPED.
I HAVEN'T EVEN CONFESSED YET.
DEFINITELY DUMPED. I KNEW IT. SHE'S OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE ANYWAY.
I EVEN SAW THE KIDS IN OUR CLASS BETTING A THOUSAND WON ON WHETHER YOU TWO WOULD GET TOGETHER.
WHO'D YOU BET ON?
I BET YOU WOULDN'T. YOU HAVE NO GAME, AND YOU HAVE NO COURAGE.
PEOPLE WITH A LOT TO LOSE TEND TO PLAY IT SAFE.
...AND END UP DOING NOTHING. WHICH IS WHY MY BET IS A GUARANTEED WIN.
UNBELIEVABLE...
TCH.
ANYWAY, CONGRATS.
YOU WERE CRYING SO HARD, I COMPLETELY FORGOT YOU GOT ACCEPTED EARLY...
...SO IT'S TIME TO STOP CLINGING TO BUM-SEOK LIKE A LEECH.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
SPITTING FACTS IS STILL A PERSONAL ATTACK.
WHAT EVEN IS LOVE...
WELL, WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING DEFINITELY ISN'T IT.
UGH, SHUT UP.
YOU HUNG AROUND BUM-SEOK SO MUCH...
...DID YOU KNOW ALL THE GUYS WHO LIKED YOU DROPPED LIKE FLIES?
WHAT?!
WHAT KIND OF ABSOLUTE NONSENSE IS THAT?!
...THIS IS LITERALLY THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING OF THIS!
EVEN A LONER LIKE ME KNEW. HOW COULD YOU NOT?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!
THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW IS EVEN MORE SHOCKING.
AH!...
I MIGHT'VE ACTUALLY HAD A CHANCE TO ESCAPE BEING SINGLE FOREVER!!
HA...
YOU WERE SO HEAD OVER HEELS FOR BUM-SEOK THAT YOUR EYES WERE COMPLETELY GLAZED OVER. HOW COULD YOU HAVE NOTICED ANYTHING ELSE?
SERIOUSLY, NO ONE COULD'VE STOPPED YOU.
BESIDES, BUM-SEOK KEPT SUCH A TIGHT LEASH ON YOU THAT NOBODY COULD EVEN GET CLOSE. I ONLY HEARD ABOUT IT IN PASSING, SO I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE, BUT...
HEY...
SO HE KEPT YOU AROUND LIKE SOME KEYCHAIN EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T GOING TO DATE YOU. TRULY, A FACE NEVER LIES. HE WAS BOUND TO ACT LIKE A JERK.
GRR...
BUM-SEOK IS NOT LIKE THAT!!
EXACTLY THE RESPONSE I EXPECTED.
I'VE BEEN SICK OF HEARING ABOUT YOUR ONE-SIDED CRUSH FOR THREE WHOLE YEARS.
LET ME GRADUATE FROM THIS ALREADY. LET'S END THIS ON A HIGH NOTE.
I HAVE TO GO DO MY DAILY QUESTS. TODAY'S FRIDAY, YOU KNOW. IT'S RESET DAY, SO I'M A BIT BUSY.
DO YOU LIKE GAMES MORE, OR ME?!
I CAN'T CHOOSE.
THEY'RE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FUN.
WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
TO WALK YOU HOME.
WHY'S THAT?
YOU LISTENED TO ME VENT TODAY, TOO.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AN IDIOT OR JUST NICE.
MAYBE IT'S HARDER FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER.
A SPACE'S INFLUENCE ON A PERSON IS STRONGER THAN YOU THINK.
COME TO THINK OF IT, BUM-SEOK WAS IN EVERY SPACE I WENT TO.
THE SAME SCHOOL, THE SAME STUDY ROOM, THE SAME ACADEMY, THE SAME APARTMENT COMPLEX.
EVEN MY ROOM, MY ONLY PERSONAL SPACE.
SO THIS SUFFOCATING FEELING WAS ALL BECAUSE OF SPACE.
DA-HYE,
...I MADE BRAISED SHORT RIBS. TAKE SOME OVER TO BUM-SEOK'S PLACE.
AH.
NO WAY!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'NO WAY'?
HURRY UP AND TAKE IT TO HIM BEFORE DINNER TIME IS OVER...
...OR HE'LL PROBABLY JUST MAKE DO WITH RAMEN AGAIN.
AH, PLEASE.
I JUST WANT TO SOOTHE MY BROKEN HEART.
WHO IS IT?
BRAISED SHORT RIBS!
AND STOP EATING RAMEN!
DA-HYE?
JUNG DA-HYE!
I'M NOT VERY SMART.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THINGS HALFWAY.
HEY!
RUNNING AWAY LIKE THIS WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING.
...SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?
I ACCEPTED THAT IT WAS OVER LONG AGO.
IF A SHRED OF LINGERING FEELINGS IS WHAT'S MAKING ME RUN AWAY LIKE THIS... THEN I HAVE TO CUT IT ALL OUT.
I HAVE TO BECOME SOMEONE WHO NEVER EXISTED.
ONCE I GRADUATE AND DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL ANYMORE... AND ONCE I MOVE OUT...
IF I REALLY LIVE WITHOUT EVER SEEING YOU AGAIN... WILL I FINALLY BE ABLE TO PUT AN END TO THESE SUFFOCATING FEELINGS?
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?
WHAT DID I DO WRONG...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
Da-Hye, bursting into tears after the CSAT, turns Class 4 into a funeral home as everyone assumes she bombed the exam. She is mocked by a student who takes her photo while she cries, but Bum-Seok harshly intervenes and makes him delete it. Bickering with her friend over being abandoned, being unable to confess, and a 1,000-won bet, Da-Hye is shaken by jabs reminding her that she got early admission. While walking home and with her mother's craving to go to Bum-Seok with rib stew, her resolve to run from him and cut ties grows stronger.
