Friendly Rivalry
Je-yi.
Can I sit next to you?
Of course.
That was your seat to begin with.
Oh my god.
What’s going on now?
- So pretty.
- It seems that
Even her uniform looks different.
Yeah.
If even you, who knows nothing about fashion,
can tell, then the difference must be huge.
But didn’t Na-ri say she wanted to
recommend you as class president?
Yeah, we agreed that
if I became class president,
I’d choose her as vice president.
Is it B?
That’s right.
Wow, I didn’t know
that brand made cigarette cases.
That model isn’t sold in Korea, is it?
No, my dad bought it in France.
By the way,
did any of you call Na-ri?
She didn't answer it.
Her phone’s been off since yesterday.
She’s not the type
to skip school for no reason, right?
That’s true.
Then why isn’t she at school?
Did she stay in bed sleeping?
How would we know?
Didn’t she have lunch
with you guys yesterday?
She disappeared
after lunch yesterday.
(C-Med Medical Club 2024
New Member Recruitment)
C-Med, huh?
All the top students
at Chaehwa Girls' High are in there.
Are you going to apply too?
Yeah, I want to.
Joining the medical club helps
when applying for med school.
But not just anyone can get in.
The requirements are really strict.
Didn’t Je-yi tell you?
They don’t accept seniors.
I heard about that.
They’re only accepting
freshmen this year.
But I still want to give it a try.
Confident just because
your seatmate is the club president?
What?
But it’s strange.
Na-ri also said
she wanted to join that club.
So what?
Think about it
if one of you disappears,
it becomes much easier
for the other to achieve their goal.
(Choi Kyung)
If Kyung is the only one
running for class president,
let’s just vote with
our eyes closed and get it over with.
Midterms are coming up.
Teacher.
- Yes?
- I’d like to nominate someone too.
Oh? Who do you want to nominate?
My seatmate, Woo Seul-gi.
Woo Seul-gi.
Do you want to be class president?
Of course!
We agreed that if she became class president,
I would help out a lot.
Well, there’s no other choice then.
Everyone,
take out your notebooks and vote.
(Choi Kyung, Woo Seul-gi)
(Choi Kyung)
Choi Kyung.
(Woo Seul-gi)
Woo Seul-gi.
Blank vote.
(Choi Kyung: 11 votes / Woo Seul-gi: 11 votes
Blank vote: 1 vote)
Woo Seul-gi.
Congratulations, Seul-gi.
- Congratulations.
- Congrats.
- Congrats.
- Congrats.
Hey, Jo A-ra.
Did you count the votes properly?
I want to check them myself.
(Woo Seul-gi, Woo Seul-gi)
(Woo Seul-gi, Woo Seul-gi)
Hey, take out
the notebook you voted with.
- What?
- Which page did you tear out to vote?
Hey, Choi Kyung.
Is there a problem?
You’re really asking that?
Be honest.
Even you think it’s strange that you won, right?
So what?
This vote wasn’t fair.
Someone must have
switched the ballots.
See these ballots?
They were all written by the same person,
on the same type of paper.
This election was rigged.
Are you saying
I wouldn’t be able to get
my classmates to vote for me,
but I could somehow get them
to swap the ballots in my favor?
There’s no way
you did this alone.
So, do I have
someone backing me?
Choi Kyung.
That’s enough.
The reason our classmates
didn’t want to vote for me
is probably because
I’m just a country bumpkin.
I understand that very well.
Kyung, stop arguing.
Seul-gi will be class president,
you’ll be vice president.
That’s good enough
for your academic record.
Shouldn’t Choi Kyung
apologize, teacher?
Apologize?
For what?
She didn’t accept
the election results
and insulted our classmates,
including Seul-gi.
Of course she should apologize.
Don’t you think so,
class president?
Yes.
Please apologize.
I’m sorry for causing trouble.
(Je-yi)
What are you doing? I wanna give you
a treat for winning the election!
(Woo Seul-gi)
(General Waste)
I’m sorry for causing trouble.
(Woo Seul-gi)
Ugh, knock first, will you?
I don’t know
what nonsense you’re busy with,
but get out of here.
Your mom have work to do.
You've just got home,
take a shower first!
So, you had the
class president election today?
Woo Seul-gi?
She’s your class president?
Can’t you just pretend not to see
and stop digging like an investigator?
Choi Kyung.
I never asked you
to become class president.
Why are you taking
your anger out on me?
Prosecutor Nam Ji-yeon, who was
class president for 12 years straight,
what do you know?
I’m going to take a shower.
Clean up and go back
to your room before I get back.
Damn it.
Shouldn’t the review board
do something about this too?
I understand.
It looks like we might face charges.
I’m really sorry.
Just pay the settlement
and calm them down a little.
And get them to sign
the settlement agreement.
Is that so hard?
She’s a single mother
raising a child alone.
She must need
a lot of money.
Actually, if we control
public opinion well,
a long-term lawsuit
could be a good strategy.
It’s nearly impossible to prove
medical negligence anyway.
Did you just say "negligence"?
How many times do
I have to tell you?
The patient had already gone
into cardiac arrest before arriving.
Our hospital did everything
we could to save him.
Yes, I’ll be more careful.
Remember,
as the administrative director,
everything you say
represents our hospital's position.
And absolutely no long-term lawsuits.
We must find a way
to make a settlement.
It’s not just about
how much money we offer.
Alright, I understand.
I’ll make sure to reach out.
You can go now.
Yes. Also…
Director, some medications
have gone missing.
Mostly uninsured drugs,
and they're quite expensive.
You don’t need
to worry about that.
Even if a stray cat took something,
it's still one of our own.
If a family member makes a mistake,
we cover it up.
Just act like you don’t know.
Understood.
Is Na-ri's mother's house
listed as a quick sale?
How much?
3.7 billion won.
Wow, a 300 million won discount?
Looks like
they're in a hurry.
But why are they suddenly selling?
Their daughter is
in her senior year, isn't she?
I heard from the real estate agent that
they're looking for a house in another district.
Enjoy your meal.
I told you I’d treat you
to something expensive.
Why are we eating pizza?
What's wrong?
I love this place's pizza.
Salty Italian pepperoni
soaked in greasy sauce.
It’s so delicious.
And the crisp, refreshing cola
makes it even better.
It probably tastes even better because your mom
doesn’t let you eat it due to your atopic dermatitis.
But Je-yi, why aren’t you eating?
I have to leave soon.
Organic Cotton Cover Pad
Why? Do you have other plans?
Don’t tell me…
is it with Woo Seul-gi?
If you ask too many questions,
it won't be fun anymore.
Je-yi, don’t tell me…
You’re really interested in Seul-gi?
It’s raining.
Je-yi.
Besides paper cranes,
can you fold anything else?
Anything else?
Like what?
Is there something you want?
(Coin Karaoke)
No one has ever told me the answer ♪
(Song: No One Told Me [누구도 일러주지 않았네], by Lucid Fall)
Should I take a step closer to you? ♪
Or just keep waiting like this again? ♪
Why did I have to meet you? ♪
Now, where should I look as I move forward? ♪
You know this song too?
Yeah, my family has not only
Lucid Fall’s albums, but also Misoni’s.
A true fan, huh?
This song sounds even better
when you sing it.
What?
I said your voice is beautiful.
So sweet.
Kyung seemed
really disappointed.
I’m not causing problems
between you two, am I?
Don’t worry about it.
You know we were never
that close to begin with.
But getting into the medical club
will be tough for you.
Kyung will probably oppose it.
I figured.
The night air feels so nice.
Good thing the rain stopped.
I thought you wouldn’t come.
Why? Are you mad that I was late?
No.
It’s just…
people forget about me so easily.
So I don’t usually wait for others.
I don’t like waiting for nothing.
I can’t speak for others,
but I keep my promises.
So wait for me, okay?
I might just be a little late.
Seul-gi, come to my house.
- Now?
- Yeah.
Let’s hang out at my place,
sleep over,
and go to school together.
What do you think?
Sounds fun, right?
What's wrong?
Is your mom against it?
Want me to call her?
No need. My family doesn't
really care if I come home late.
Then what’s there to hesitate about?
Come on,
let's go to my house.
We’re here.
What’s with that look?
Did he scare you?
This is my younger brother, Je-hyun.
Hi, Je-hyun.
Nice to meet you.
Did you sneak into
Je-na's room again?
Answer me.
I thought you were an only child.
You have an older sister?
But she’s not here anymore.
Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.
She’s not dead.
Or who knows…
maybe she is.
What?
Come in, this is my room.
- Je-yi.
- What is it?
I feel like I’m floating in the ocean.
I went scuba diving
while traveling.
Everyone else found it scary.
But I actually felt
incredibly at ease.
Being in the silent,
dark sea was like…
Like being back
in your mother's womb?
Yeah, exactly.
That’s exactly how it felt.
Like being abandoned by the world,
yet not feeling lonely at all.
Instead,
I felt completely safe.
I’ve never been
scuba diving,
but I think
I understand what you mean.
Let’s go diving together someday.
I bet you’d love it too.
Hey.
Geez.
What?
What are you doing?
I have the same outfit.
You like princess dresses too?
I shouldn’t like them.
Dad…
Mom…
Mom…
Dad…
I never realized
you carried this kind of pain.
I had no idea.
But how could that be your fault?
It's not your fault.
It was the adults’ fault
for not checking the number of kids properly.
Thank you for sharing
your pain with me.
Actually, there’s something
I want to confess too.
What is it?
The truth is…
I’m not actually
a Lucid Fall fan.
I only learned a few songs
because my sister liked him.
I thought so.
Thanks for being honest with me.
Let’s get ready for bed.
This is your first time, right?
What?
Taking a bath
with a friend.
Not exactly…
You're even cuter
when you're all wet.
So cute.
Why is your face so red?
Probably from soaking
in the hot water too long.
It's just because
it's too hot.
Isn’t it because you’re overthinking?
You mean about what?
Well…
Something like this.

(Kim Na-ri)
I'll apologize to Seul-gi.
(Kim Na-ri)
I'll transfer schools.
If I transfer, you'll delete that video, right?
(Kim Na-ri)
Please, I’m begging you, reply to me.
(Kim Na-ri: Please, I’m begging you, reply to me.)
(Kim Na-ri: I’ll apologize to Seul-gi. I’ll transfer schools.
If I transfer, you’ll delete that video, right?)
Je-yi, I was wrong.
Please, you have to delete the video.
