01x03 - Pick Me Up!

[bunniefuu]

Are you feeling better now?

Thanks.

We'll be late.

What?

-Come on.

-What?

Oh, okay.

Should I hold that for you?

-Sure.

-All right.

Good job.

Sol-i, you're running for class president?

But you always copy my homework,

doze off in class,

or doodle when you're less tired--

-Catch!

-I'm just saying.

I'm not saying

there's anything wrong with that.

No one in our class

is class president material.

Woo Dae-sung barely comes to school

and Cha Heon doesn't even know

his classmates' names.

But my Ha-young--

Heon, are you busy?

I finished writing my election speech.

Can you proofread it?

Sure. I'll catch you later.

Okay.

Are you really going to back off?

Your beloved Heon and that sly Hui-ji

will be fellow prefects at this rate.

Will you let that happen?

No, right?

"Hello, I'm Shin Sol-i!"

"Hello, I'm Shin Sol-i."

"Hello, I am Shin Sol-i."

It's not like they don't know who I am.

Oh, my gosh!

Why are you so down today?

Where's your spirit, Brother? Your voice

used to ring throughout the whole school.

Let me see.

"I, Shin Sol-i, will devote myself

and do everything I can for class 1-7!"

"I, Wang Se-hyeong,

will devote all my energy to my classmates

and do everything I can for class 1-7!"

-Wang Se-hyeong!

-Wang Se-hyeong!

-Vote for number three, Wang Se-hyeong!

-Vote for number three, Wang Se-hyeong!

By the way, Se-hyeong,

can I have one more bread?

Don't tell me

you copied Se-hyeong's speech.

Did you have the same tutor then?

I'm doomed for sure.

Rather than using such a cliché,

find what only you can offer.

Maybe I should just withdraw.

Don't worry.

You too have something to offer, Brother.

Which is what?

Your sincerity.

What? My sincerity?

You may be like a punching bag right now,

but you're without doubt

going to do your best.

Of course.

That alone makes you

deserving of the title class president.

Is that a compliment?

My Brother.

You have excellent

listening comprehension skills.

Hey, Dae-sung!

Over there!

Or maybe not.

CANDIDATES

OH HUI-JI, SHIN SOL-I, WANG SE-HYEONG

Heon!

-What?

-Who are you going to vote for?

No, don't tell me.

It should be anonymous, so don't.

Okay?

Anyway, I promise to do my best,

so trust me on that.

ELECTION DAY

Ms. Moon and fellow students, hello.

I'm Shin Sol-i.

I'm fully aware that my candidacy

shocked many of you

and that many of you think

I'm not qualified.

I don't get good grades,

nor am I a model student.

Also, I'm not a natural born leader

or particularly humorous.

HELLO, I'M SHIN SOL-I…

YOU CAN DO IT!

You've got this!

Go for it!

I easily make mistakes,

and I make lots of clumsy mistakes.

However, that's why

I believe there's room to grow

and improve in the right direction.

We'll be spending the most

important days of our lives together.

When the year is over,

rather than a clumsy troublemaker,

I'd like to be remembered

as your favorite class president

who helped and spoke up for everyone.

I'll do my best!

Here.

Thanks for helping me with my speech.

No, thanks.

Don't refuse. Just take them.

Hui-ji made it for you.

Why let them go to waste?

He accepted it!

Look, it's the vice president.

She got lucky, if you ask me.

Talk about not knowing your place.

Stop it.

What? Am I wrong?

What about you?

You should know your place.

It's all right.

Tell me why you didn't vote for Sol-i.

She's not it.

TWO HOURS AGO

Hui-ji and Sol-i are at a tie.

Ms. Moon, Heon isn't here.

Heon,

who will you vote for?

Heon, I'm right here.

Don't forget I'm your partner.

Please…

Oh Hui-ji.

Hey, Cha Heon.

-What?

-Why am I not up to the job?

You're not leader material.

And Hui-ji is?

Compared to you, yes.

Hey!

What? You kicked Heon?

You kicked him hard?

Keep it down, will you?

Wow, Sol-i, I'm really impressed.

You taught him a lesson.

Why am I exhilarated

when you're the one who kicked him?

I don't know what to do right now.

Do you think he'll accept my apology?

Heon, wait up!

No way. I just can't believe it.

Sol-i kicked you?

Sol-i, Shin Sol-i!

Sol-i, Shin Sol-i!

What?

-Here you go.

-What's this?

The money for the field day T-shirts.

Hui-ji told me to give it to you.

-Me?

-That's all I know.

She's making you do all the work now.

Ha-young, what do I do?

What else can you do?

It's your job as the vice president.

No, I mean about Heon.

How am I supposed

to ask him to pay the money?

What? Just ask.

Put him in a headlock

and point a g*n at him.

"Bang! Pay up."

But he's too tall for me.

Do it when he's seated.

He usually is, anyway.

Okay, one, two, three. One!

-Darn it.

-Hang in there.

You're caving in. Jeez.

Do it!

"Bang! Pay up."

God, that was so cheap.

How about another game?

Hand me my change.

Heon,

Ms. Moon said I should ask you

to recommend some English books,

since you've read a lot.

I want to start reading in English.

What books do you recommend?

-I'll write you a list later on.

-Sure.

Are you done collecting the money?

Ms. Moon wants it by this afternoon.

Sure, got it.

-Let's go.

-Okay.

-What is it?

-Where did it go?

-Try to think.

-Okay.

Hand in your Korean language assignment.

Here.

SHIN SOL-I

This is crazy.

I think it's in my Korean language

notebook.

Then get it back

before Hui-ji and Su-jin find out.

But,

that means

I'll have to go to the staff room

and the person who sits next to Mr. Kim…

is Mr. Cho.

I won't be able to retrieve it.

KANG HA-YOUNG

SHIN SOL-I

Yes?

What's wrong? Are you sick?

No.

Actually, my stomach hurts.

Really?

Hi, Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee, my stomach's k*lling me.

Can I get medicine?

Where does it hurt?

Why don't you show me?

Right.

This would be indigestion.

And this would be enteritis.

Then…

-Do they require different medicine?

-Of course.

The treatment varies

depending on the illness.

So…

And gender too.

Men and women need different medications.

So be more specific.

Then…

consider me a girl.

Thank you!

What do I do?

Here.

Take one.

What?

Take one now.

You lost the money, didn't you?

-No!

-Is that so?

-Forget it, then.

-Heon.

Help me.

-Why should I?

-I'm sorry I kicked you.

I was going to apologize right away.

I mean it.

If you help me,

I'll never forget your kindness.

Where did you lose it?

I put it in the homework notebook

I handed in.

Then…

why don't you go kick Mr. Kim

in the shins, too?

I'm doomed!

I'm sorry, but I'm begging you.

Please don't tell

my classmates about this,

especially Oh Hui-ji and Lee Su-jin.

They can't find out about this.

Please, sir.

What are you doing?

Why are you blocking the door?

STAFF ROOM

Heon, how are you feeling today?

I envy him.

Hui-ji, did you collect the money?

Yes, our vice president has it.

Sol-i, what's wrong?

Ms. Moon, the thing is…

I…

CHA HEON

Sol-i?

Ms. Moon, I apologize.

I lost the money I'd collected,

and Heon's just recovered it for me.

I knew she'd cause trouble.

Sol-i, are you kidding me?

I'm sorry, guys.

I guess I shouldn't be the vice president.

Shouldn't she resign?

She messed up big time.

You think so?

Quiet, everyone.

Anyone can make mistakes.

Even I, your teacher, make mistakes.

However, it's never easy to admit them.

One has to be brave

to openly admit their mistakes.

That is why I believe

what Sol-i just did is incredible.

It's not like the money's gone,

so isn't it all right?

-Right. Don't you agree?

-The money's all there.

That'll do.

Heon!

Here you go.

Hey, what was that?

Nothing, sir.

Get it together, all right?

You guys are going to be seniors soon.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

Let's go, Shin Sol-i!

-Shin Sol-i!

-Heon!

-The field day is next week--

-Which has nothing to do with you.

Heon, do you know

why she's practicing so hard?

Mr. Lee, is Ha-young

going to be all right?

I have to go now.

-Is there any way?

-Jump over the gate.

-What are you doing?

-The dean's coming.

How about we meet

at the playground briefly?

-Don't be nervous.

-Heon, will you help me?
