[Longing Heart]
- Hey. - Oh my gosh.
Mr. Kang!
Aw, come on, just one sip!
What's the point of asking permission after you already drank it?
Ugh, gross.
You can have this, Mr. Kang.
Wow, you're unbelievable!
You had no problem eating a certain someone's leftovers
and yet it's gross when I take a sip of your drink? Huh?
Ugh, this is so embarrassing.
Wait, so who's this person that you like so much?
- Huh? - I don't know.
- Who is it? - I don't know what you're talking about!
Just tell me!
- Let's hurry! - Hurry!
Huh?
- Wow, what's going on? - I can't believe it!
- No way! - Wow!
Who is it?
I want to make things official between us, and go out with you.
- Ooh! - Ooh!
- Go out with him! Go out with him! - Go out with him! Go out with him!
I'm sorry, Senior.
I can't accept this.
There's someone else that I like.
This is the moment
when things when downhill for us.
Yeah...
it's a losing game, anyway.
If I'd just confessed my feelings to Ji Soo back then...
We have a car accident victim in critical condition!
- How's her blood pressure? - 140, but dropping fast!
150 Joules! Shock!
But if we're destined to be in each other's lives
I'm sure that it's for a bad reason.
Let's...
never see each other again, for both our sakes.
Maybe what happened on the day when we saw each other...
for the first time in ten years has changed, too.
Can I ask who it is?
What?
I'll have to be convinced
that they're better than me if I'm going to give up on you.
Hey, Third Year.
Sorry for butting in, but...
Mr. Kang!
There are rules when it comes to confessions.
And one of them is
"it's up to you to convince yourself to get over her."
It's not polite to make the other person feel awkward
just to make yourself feel better.
You may be a teacher and all
but I think it's also rude of you to butt in at a time like this, sir.
The thing, is, though, there are rules at school, too.
One of them being, "students must go to the classroom at the bell."
It's been a while since the bell rang.
Hurry up and get inside the classroom!
- Oh man! - Did you see that?
- Whoo! - I'm sorry, Senior.
Come to think of it
it may be that Third Year's fault that my life ended up this way!
Ugh!
There's... someone that she likes?
Write a letter to the you that you hope to be, ten years from now.
You can write whatever you want.
The thing about words is that they have power.
And those words can guide you toward a future that you want for yourself.
That's the objective of this homework assignment.
I'd like it to be a video file, if at all possible
and it'll be due by tonight.
As for the submission method, send it to my email address.
And now, use the remainder of your time thinking about what you should say.
I wonder what he'll want to say to me?
Who's the person that Ji Soo likes?
Ugh, who is it?
You, you, you, you, you!
Pardon?
Um, Mr. Kang.
What would you want to say to the you living 10 years in the future?
Well...
rather than that, there's something I'd want to say to myself 10 years ago.
What would you want to say?
- Ugh! - Ah!
Stop being so dense.
I'd tell myself to confess.
To not lose her to anyone, only to regret it later.
And to not lose her.
That's what I'd want to say to the me from 10 years ago.
Does that mean that you never got to confess your feelings?
Ten years ago, I mean.
Yep.
Why couldn't you confess?
Because I was stupid and cowardly.
I was so stupid that I didn't know the feelings of the person I liked...
and I was such a coward that I gave up in fear of getting hurt.
In the end, I was never able to convey my feelings to her
and those feelings turned into feelings of regret.
But I know now
that I had a chance of changing my future if only I'd confessed back then.
But if you don't do anything just because you're scared of getting hurt
nothing will change.
So, I'd like it if all of you remembered that
love starts with a confession.
- Ooh! - Ooh!
A confession, huh?
[My birthday]
So, tomorrow is Mr. Kang's birthday, huh?
I'll probably be a civil servant 10 years from now.
A civil servant?
Why a civil servant?
Now I have to record it over again!
Since when did I have a friend who wanted to become a civil servant?
You get a decent salary and a pension, and they even have a set retirement age!
There isn't a job that can compare to that!
Wasn't it your dream to become a cartoonist, though?
A cartoonist? Oh, please.
I'm not trying to starve.
Why not? You've always been good at drawing.
That's just a skill.
To not starve, you need to have an innate talent.
And my innate talent isn't drawing, it's facing reality.
But even so, I feel like it'd be such a waste of talent.
Oh, whatever, whatever. This is all ruined now.
Here, you go first, Choo Geun Deok.
Is it recording?
Is this angle okay?
To be honest, I have a single wish.
I really want myself to have experienced this once after 10 years.
Experience what?
My first love!
I probably will have experienced it once after 10 years, right?
I probably will have really, really liked someone once by then, right?
What kind of nonsense is that?
You've gone through an entire platoon's worth of women.
My sentiments exactly.
Hey, this is like hearing Park Ji Sung say, "I want to score a goal just once."
The reason why I keep dating around is because
I never end up really liking a girl, even when I date her.
I've never experienced that feeling, even once.
I have no idea what it feels like to really like someone.
That's why I envy Shin Woo.
It makes me wonder, "how much must he like Han Ji Soo to act this way?"
Wow.
I wish I could combine you two, and then split you apart again.
Your power to just act without thinking
and your ability to harbor innocent, pure affection.
Well, you can consider me an affectionate man of action now.
I'm...
going to confess.
- Really? - Yeah.
I'm going to meet up with her on my birthday, and confess to her.
Tomorrow.
Let's go.
Sunday is my birthday, and I have something to tell you then.
Let's meet up at the City Meeting Spot at 6 p.m. tomorrow.
It says it's his birthday tomorrow, so... did Mr. Kang leave me this note?
[From: Kang Shin Woo]
Hey, you can't confess empty-handed!
Even so, isn't a ring too over-the-top?
What if she feels like it's too much?
Let's think about this optimistically for a second.
She could end up liking the ring even if she doesn't like you
which could lead to her accepting your confession.
Shut your trap!
- How about something more... - Yeah.
How does this look? Does it look okay?
Ooh, it's nice.
Why are you shopping for men's clothes, though?
I'm thinking of buying clothes as a birthday gift.
A birthday gift?
I want to give him a gift, and I have something to tell him, too.
Oh!
What are you guys doing in the city?
Oh, we're buying a gift.
A gift? What gift?
Well, it's Shin Woo's birthday tomorrow.
So we bought Shin Woo a birthday gift.
Oh yeah, Shin Woo's birthday is tomorrow, isn't it?
Oh, so then that was for you, Shin Woo!
What are you talking about?
I think Ji Soo bought a present for you.
Really?
Yeah. Are you guys planning to meet up tomorrow?
Yeah.
Oh, what's this? Are we all meeting up together?
What time, and where?
Hey, the bus is here. Just get on the bus.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Godspeed, dude!
Ooh, there's no way that Ji Soo will be a no-show tomorrow!
Oh my gosh, dude! What do I even say to her?
What should I say to her tomorrow?
"I love you, Ji Soo."
Ugh, give me a break!
Hey, Kim Min Seok.
Is something up?
Huh?
You aren't in a good mood, it's written all over your face.
No, of course not. Everything is fine.
How did you know?
We've lived in the same two-family home for 10 years, so of course I'd know.
I can even tell what you ate just by hearing you poop.
Ugh, why do you have to use such disgusting examples?
Oh yeah, I have something to give to you.
What?
Your underwear!
You psycho!
Why is it that stuff keeps flying from your room to mine when the wind blows?
Clip your clothes tightly when you hang them to dry.
It's not like this is something that I was dying to see.
Bu the way...
Those are knock-offs, right?
No!
Yeah, right.
How did you know that, too?
This is a top-notch knock-off that I got airmailed to me.
How could I possibly confuse that fake for the real thing?
Ugh, don't you know that I have an eye for these things?
Well yeah, that's true.
Oh yeah.
What did you say that you wanted to be, in ten years?
So, this is the letter I'm sending to myself.
Man, I'm kind of nervous to watch this.
Go ahead and talk to the you who is 10 years in the future.
I don't really have much to say.
I'm sure you have something you want to become, or something you want by then!
Well...
I don't really care, as long as I'm not starving to death.
- Thanks a lot, jerk. - Mr. Kang is going to yell at you.
I totally feel like I lived a worthwhile life now.
Mr. Kang said words have power.
Yes, this is the Night Duty Room at Garam High School.
Mr. Kang! It's me, Baek Na Hee.
Oh, Ms. Baek!
Yes. What are you up to?
About the drinks you promised me. I want them tomorrow.
Um...
all right, sure.
Let's meet up tomorrow.
Yes.
All right.
I'll have to hurry and wrap things up with Na Hee too, won't I?
Big Sis.
Have you ever been confessed to before?
- A confession? - Yeah.
Did you take money out of my wallet again--
No, no, I mean from a guy! Like, a romantic confession!
Nothing like that!
Has a guy ever confessed to you before!
Of course I have.
Then, what was the best confession you ever got?
Well...
the one from the most handsome guy.
Okay, what was the next best one?
The one from the second most handsome guy.
I should've known better than to expect a good answer from you.
Ugh!
You're never any help!
What's his problem?
Knowing your place
and facing reality is the innate talent that you was born with...
Kim Min Seok.
Oh!
Damn it!
Ugh.
Hey, Jang So Ra. I'm coming in for a bit.
What brings you here at this hour?
Oh, um, nothing, really.
Hey, what's all this?
These are all the drawings that I threw away.
My investments.
Don't you know that art can turn into cash?
Yeah, but not just any old drawing will sell for a high price.
I bet they'll sell for tons of money once you become a famous artist.
What do you mean, become famous?
I told you. The things I say are the real deal are the real deal.
If you try to steal these from me later, I'll kill you.
I'm telling you this now, but it cost me a lot of money to get those framed.
I was told that they'd sell for a higher price that way.
Hey, are you crying? Why are you crying?
H-hey. What's the matter? Are you feeling sick?
Why are you making me excited about this again?
Huh?
Why are you doing this, when I'd completely given up on it already?
Why are you making me hopeful and excited again?
She said that there is a person she likes
so maybe I'll get rejected.
How will I face Ji Soo if she rejects me?
Oh, whatever!
I still have to try.
Ji Soo.
I... like you.
[Ji Soo. I like you!!!]
Being uncertain of the future.
And being uncertain of others' feelings.
The reason why
one must muster the courage to venture forth
despite all these uncertainties...
is because the future holds potential.
One may have one's confession turned down
or fail to achieve one's dreams.
But there's also a chance that neither of those things will happen.
I'll be graduating in two years anyway
so I can just think of this as a confession that's two years early.
Let's just go like this, all nice and fresh.
I can do it.
Oh, Mr. Kang--
- Mr. Kang! - Oh!
- Let's go, Ms. Baek. - All right.
I'm sorry.
Shin Woo.
Are you... crying?
What's the matter? Did something happen?
What's the matter?
Because I like him.
Huh?
Because I like...
Mr. Kang.
Welcome!
- Hey. - Yeah?
Let me lay low for a bit.
If my homeroom teacher sees me, I'll get punished!
Give us two pints of beer from the tap!
Sure.
Let's have a great time.
Thank you.
Um, why are you drinking your beer in such a hurry?
Because there's something I must tell you quickly.
Um, sure.
Mr. Kang.
Let's date each other.
Um... wait just a second.
I actually had something to talk to you about regarding that.
I think you've got the wrong idea about something
so I want to set things straight.
I'm actually not from Seoul.
I just came from there since my first assignment was in Seoul.
So, will we become official as of today, then?
No, I'm saying that this place, which you hate, is my hometown!
I'm from this town!
And I graduated from our high school, too.
Oh my, really?
I can't believe that we have so much in common!
We're from the same town, and even went to the same school?
The homeroom teacher is from our town, and graduated from our school?
What are you saying?
Your ideal guy is a guy from Seoul, Ms. Baek!
And the one rule you have for yourself in dating
is to not date guys from this town!
And I'm exactly the type of guy whom you'd never date!
Well, I didn't know that I'd meet you back then, Mr. Kang.
I'll just change my ideal type of guy, then.
To guys from our hometown.
How could you just change your ideal type of guy like that?
But, why is it that your face is unfamiliar to me, then?
This town is so small that I pretty much know everyone.
Exactly. Why don't the teachers or anyone else know him, then?
Um, let's stop discussing that for now.
Let me rectify the current situation we're in right now, then.
I like another woman.
W-well, you only like her. It's not like you're dating her.
Because of that woman, I didn't date anyone for ten years.
And I'm planning to wait ten more years for her.
Are you really okay with that?
Three.
Two.
One.
Dagnabbit! Ugh!
The English teacher said "dagnabbit!"
Oh, it's on!
[Our homeroom teacher and the English teacher are at my workplace!]
So...
today is the homeroom teacher's birthday
and you were planning to confess to him?
That's what I'd planned to do.
But I completely failed.
Wow.
I can't believe you're seeing this side of me.
I scared you a little, didn't I? I'm sorry.
Just how much do you like the homeroom teacher?
Do you like him so much that there's no space for anyone else in your heart...
and do you like him so much that it has to be him...
and nobody else will do?
I feel so embarrassed in front of you right now...
and I feel so embarrassed that I could just die, but...
the thought that Mr. Kang may like someone else that I don't know about...
makes me feel...
But meeting up with you like this and talking about it made me feel better.
But, weren't you supposed to go somewhere today?
Why did you come out to the city today?
Well...
I just had something to do, is all.
Let's go.
Where?
Let's take you to go and do what you wanted to do.
Huh?
Um, it's not that I was trying to keep this from you.
- I just didn't have a chance to tell-- - Oh, can it!
Humph!
Um, Ms. Baek!
Where are you going?
Ow! Ow!
Ugh, just you watch!
I'll get my revenge! Ugh!
Wait, Ms. Baek! Ms. Baek!
Choo Geun Deok!
Get your butt out here, now!
Damn it.
How did you know that I worked here part-time?
That's the reason I came here in the first place.
So I could ask you to take care of the rest.
- Hurry and go after her. - What?
I can't just let a lady go home by herself when she's drunk!
The English teacher isn't a lady!
Judging from what I just saw, I bet she could tear five young guys apart--
Ugh!
Would you rather get punished, then?
Want me to tell the Student Association that you're working part-time at a pub?
Damn it!
Hey, be careful!
She bites when she's drunk!
Ow!
Oh, what's this?
So he did confess?
I can't do it.
He'll definitely reject me.
How am I supposed to face him after this?
Just act first, and think about it later.
Confessions are all about timing too, after all.
Okay?
Mr. Kang.
"I like you."
What?
You said we should confess our feelings.
"I like you."
Hey, I never told you guys to confess to me!
Why do you keep coming to me with your confession, since last time?
Hey, punk.
Get your head on straight, and tell the right person--
That confession...
is my confession.
Huh?
I...
like you, Mr. Kang.
My wish?
I do have one.
That the person I like...
would like me back.
It doesn't have to be now.
They can confess to the version of me from ten years in the future.
Um, I misheard you just now, right?
- Right? - No.
You probably heard right.
Hey!
Hey, Kang Shin Woo!
Yeah, sure. I totally understand how that could've happened.
It's really common.
It's kind of similar to how kids your age become obsessed with celebrities.
It's similar to that, so, um...
admiration!
Yeah, that's right! It's admiration.
I'll just call it admiration, then.
Huh?
If that makes you more comfortable, that is.
It doesn't matter what I call it.
My feelings won't change no matter what I call it, anyway.
O... okay.
B-but...
thanks for your affection, but...
if you hadn't said that to me right now, but someone else...
I would've felt more thankful.
All right.
I understand what you're saying, and how you feel, too.
But, as I'm sure you know, all I can say to you right now is--
Can't we end things here for today?
It's no fun reading something that you know the ending of.
W-what's... this?
Happy birthday, Mr. Kang.
Ji Soo! Han Ji Soo!
Oh, jeez.
Ugh, where did Kang Shin Woo go--
Oh, there's no way I wouldn't know.
I wish I didn't know.
Hey, Kang Shin Woo.
What's this?
I think that you and I both need this right now.
Is it okay for my homeroom teacher to be doing something like this?
It's your birthday today, after all.
It's okay for you to have one drink that an adult is offering to you.
No thanks, I don't drink these sorts of things.
Oh, yeah right!
You drank a ton when you were a First Year.
Hey, Kang Shin Woo! Let's talk.
About what?
Maybe, about why it had to be your birthday today, of all days?
No thanks.
If you want to give me a birthday present
disappear from my sight right now.
Because that's the gift that I want most right now.
Hey.
What did you even do, then?
I told you to confess, but you confessed for Ji Soo, instead?
Are you stupid?
You should've confessed your feelings to Ji Soo first--
That wouldn't have changed anything!
I already know how she feels.
It's a losing game, anyway.
History... is repeating itself.
And this time, the thing that changed...
is that I am my own enemy.
I need to find a way to make this work out.
How do I give this back to her?
You got home safely last night, right?
None of your business. Why do you care?
I wasn't worrying about you. I was worrying about other people.
Just look at this!
It's because I'm scared you may have bitten another innocent person.
Ow, it hurts.
At any rate, I'm going to be completely cold to you now
so don't talk to me, or be nice to me, either!
It'll just make things harder for me if you're nice!
Damn it!
Is that true?
Then... the nicer I am to Ji Soo, the worse things will get, right?
I have to be cold to her.
Make sure you check problems like these carefully.
There will probably be a lot of problems based on today's lesson on the exam.
Be sure to check over your own work well, everyone.
Mr. Kang.
Yeah? What is it?
Please have this.
You can have this.
Hey, Shin Woo!
Mr. Kang!
- Hello. - Yeah, hey.
Mr. Kang!
Can't we talk?
About what?
- Well-- - I have somewhere to be.
If it's not important, let's talk later.
Mr. Kang!
Oh, good thing I ran into you, Ji Soo.
- Can you help me? - Hey, Kang Shin Woo!
Let's talk.
I have somewhere to be.
If it's not important, let's talk later.
Hey!
Is it that difficult to just talk to me for a second?
Well, it seems to be difficult for you to spare a second to talk to students.
What do you want me to do, then?
Ugh!
Hey, Choo Geun Deok.
Did you drop off Ms. Baek well last night?
Ah!
Hey!
It's all your fault, Mr. Kang!
And just what is his problem?
I don't know. He's been like that all day.
Damn it, the school inspector is coming today, too!
Hey, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?
Teach! I was looking all over for you!
Hurry up and go home!
- You little bastard! - Huh?
- Give that back! - Whoa!
- Damn it! - Ow!
I... I got bit.
It's just so vile that I can't bear to say it with my own mouth.
My first kiss...
Hello, Ms. Baek.
Hey, Choo Gen Deok!
Are you going to keep wearing your name tag improperly like this?
She... doesn't even remember?
Oh, Shin Woo!
They're heavy. Just sit down.
Oh man, I would've broken my back if it hadn't been for you.
Thanks.
But, come to think of it...
I'm always only ever thanking you.
Yesterday was like that, too.
Try saying other things to me, too.
I know you need someone to lend you an ear right now.
Wow, it's like you read my mind.
It's because of Mr. Kang, right?
Yeah.
I think I make him feel uncomfortable.
I think he's avoiding me.
Maybe you're just imagining it.
It's not like he can play favorites among his students.
Maybe that's what it is.
He's a human being too, after all.
Or it could just be that he's not in a good mood.
Still.
It makes me worried.
I'm afraid that Mr. Kang will hate me now.
It's not like you spoke ill of him, or harassed him! You just--
said that you liked him, is all... so...
You really think so?
I acted so cold toward her
and yet I'm wearing the shirt she gave me as a gift.
Anyone would think that I'm a complete psycho.
I gave him that shirt yesterday.
Hey, so, um, what happened with this shirt is
the school inspector is coming today, but Choo Geun Deok--
You must be so happy, Mr. Kang.
You can make her smile just by wearing a shirt.
Hey, I'm telling you, that's not it. Listen to me! Hey!
What kind of terrible crime did I commit in my past life?
183! 184! 185! 186!
He shouldn't have told me to confess and pretended that he was helping me.
He really threw me for a loop.
Is he messing with me?
- 194! 195! - 194! 195!
- 196! 197! - 196! 197!
Raise your arms up high!
- More! - 198!
- 199! - 199!
- 200! - 200!
- Ugh! - Damn it, please!
I told you not to say the last number.
- Do it again! - Teach!
Just make that bastard do it by himself!
It's our second time doing this because of that bastard!
Hey, shut it.
- Damn it! - Again!
Don't you dare say the last number again, or I'll kill you.
All right, begin!
- One! Two! Three! Four! - One! Two! Three! Four!
- Five! Six! Seven! - Five! Six! Seven!
Because... I like Mr. Kang.
I like you, Mr. Kang.
- 196! 197! 198! 199! - 196! 197! 198! 199!
200!
- Damn it! - Damn it!
- I ought to kill you! - 200!
200! I'm the one who said 200!
Are you out of your damn mind?
Yeah, I am, you bastard!
- What are you going to do about it? - Hey, what are you doing?
- Hey, stop it, guys. - Break it up, guys!
- Stop it! - Stop!
I'll let everyone else go with your letters of apology.
But Kang Shin Woo and Go Sung Jin will come to school by 5 a.m. tomorrow.
You'll get punished and will have to volunteer around the school.
Got that?
Answer me!
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Go.
I told you to reflect on your actions, but you rebelled instead?
Hey, Kang Shin Woo.
May I... ask you something?
Why...
did you come here?
- What? - It's a valid question.
It's not like you have family here, this isn't your hometown.
So why did you come here, which is in the middle of nowhere
and why do you keep butting into my business?
I don't understand any of this, and yet...
all you are doing is getting in the way.
It's fine.
What would it matter if I knew the answer to those things now?
It's not like I can turn back time.
I will submit my letter of apology tomorrow.
I'm the one saying hurtful things to myself...
and yet it hurts.
[Doctor in her 20s Hit, Killed by Drunk Driver]
I'm getting in the way?
Am I really...
ruining everything by being here?
Shin Woo!
Ji Soo.
I... like you.
What's the matter? Did something happen to you?
Because I like... Mr. Kang.
Whatever.
It's...
a losing game, anyway.

[Longing Heart]
Didn't you think this once, when you were first in love...
That it'd be so nice if you and your first love
could be alone together, just for one day?
Not one day, but even half a day.
I would've been happy being alone with her for just an hour.
Mr. Kang.
To me, you're a precious disciple.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not crying because I was wrong.
Because I, too, know that this is the answer.
What are you doing here?
- Mr. Kang! - I was alone.
I was locked up here all night by myself, but you freed me.
I have no reason to hear you out.
Hey, Kang Shin Woo!
Don't go around telling that to other people.
Who else would I tell this to, but you?
Who do you think will get hurt if a rumor about this spreads?
How dare you smoke, and start a fire at school!
Hey, see me for a sec, Kang Shin Woo.
You like Han Ji Soo, don't you?
The one who smoked in the bathroom and started a fire there was me.
Where is Kang Shin Woo right now?
You really are hopeless.
If you really are the culprit, then smoke right in front of me, you bastard!
I was hoping that he'd make a different decision.
Mom.
Who am I supposed to apologize to now?
But people don't know that the only thing you can change...
is the here and now, not the future.
Let's go back.
Because Ji Soo will definitely be waiting for me there.
