01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

Whoever gets there and touches
the statue’s hand first

gets to take the BTS.

Deal?

Someone like Bay is just going to
keep messing with me.

If I want this to end,

settling it with a competition is the right way.

You used to play tennis?

I did.

But that was over ten years ago.

How good were you?

Are you gonna wipe the floor with Sun?

You're comparing me to him.

He's making the national team.

Then why'd you sign up?

Since he's leaving,

before he goes,

I want to mess with him one last time.

Why do you hate him so much?

Honestly,

I don't really hate him.

The match wasn't fair.

You should play again.

How wasn't it fair?

Hey, enough.

Bay won fair and square

Congratulations.

Hey.

Come down here,

loser.

Stay right there.

I’m coming down.

Just wait, as*h*le.

Hurry up and come down.

Where are you?

What is it now?

[SAMING PHON FAI]

You coward.

[FOR YOUR SHOULDER,
BUT YOU'RE STILL A "LOSER"]

Hey!

[S.SUNN_YT STARTED FOLLOWING YOU.]

[FOLLOW BACK]

You unblocked me?

[FOLLOWING]

Huh?

You hid all your childhood photos?

sh*t!

[I SAW THAT!]

sh*t!

Why are you so fast?

[FOR YOUR SHOULDER,
BUT YOU'RE STILL A "LOSER"]

Hey.

What are you smiling about?

Bay!

Yes, Dad.

What are you doing?

Just scrolling on my phone.

Go buy me some shampoo and toothpaste.

We're almost out.

Why don't you ask Boat to go?

He's washing the dishes.

He should stay in the back.

You go.

Do me a favor.

I've been adding water to my shampoo
and shaking the bottle,

and now it won't even lather.

Go and come straight home.

Okay, Dad.

Good.

You practice on weekends too?

Why the hell are you asking?

I always practice on weekends.

Hey.

I was just being friendly.

You're the one who wanted a truce,

and this is how you talk to me?

What exactly do you want?

You're taking the BTS, right?

I'm heading that way

to buy some things for my dad.

Coming?

Hey.

Don't think too hard.

So?

Coming?

Hurry up, it's hot.

Yeah.

Fine.

Hop on then.

Come on.

You're Sun, right?

at the last PREMS' GAME.

You were amazing

You were playing against my school,

but I was rooting for you.

Wow!

Really?

Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

Boy Seriously.

I'm thinking of signing up this year.

Maybe I'll get to compete against you.

I'd love to play tennis with you.

Umm...

What the hell?

Why?

Am I not allowed to stand here?

Does your dad own this town?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I'll get going.

But could I take a photo with you?

Oh, sure.

Really?

Could you take a pictureof me and Sun?

Of course.

Thank you.

Wow.

Take a good one.

Make sure he looks handsome.

You're so freaking cool!

Check the photos.

Umm.

I can take them again if you want.

Are they okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'd better get going.

Oh, I'll tag you.

I've been following you for ages.

Thanks.

Yeah.

What's the rush?

Was that boy hitting on you?

Huh?

No.

I'm just a legend.

People always ask for my Instagram

or want a photo with me

whenever I go to practice.

If that's hitting on me,

then I've got dozens of people doing it.

Oh, yeah?

And did you give them your Instagram?

Of course.

They DM me to ask for tennis tips.

Wanna see?

Where is it?

Oh, wow, look...

Like ten, twenty people.

See?

Here...

All these DMs.

Hmm.

Hey!

Why'd you do that?

[DID HE DM YOU?]

[YEAH.]

[HE ASKED ME IF YOU WERE MY BOYFRIEND.]

[SO FUNNY.]

[WHY'D YOU TAKE A SELFIE?]

You're so freaking cool!

Check the photos.

Umm.

I can take them again if you want.

Are they okay?

Yeah, yeah.

[Well, I got annoyed.]

[You can clear things up yourself.]

[Nah.]

[I don't feel like talking to him anyway.]

Don’t go to the practice today.

After school, come straight home.

And don't put too much strain
on your shoulder.

Papa,

you don't have to remind me.

I know that.

Papa,

don't close the restaurant tomorrow morning

just to drive me here.
I had business around here anyway.

Go.

Go on to class.

Yes, Papa.

See you.

I'm off.

Oh, hey,

Did you hear Sun lost a tennis match?

To be honest,

I think Sun is not even that good.

He’s just overrated.

I'd be so embarrassed.

He's about to become a professional athlete,

and he lost to a nobody.

So what if he lost to me?

How about this?

If you think he's not that good,

why don't you challenge him yourself

instead of talking sh*t behind his back?

Go on.

Get out of here.

Focus on your study.

Thank you.

Hey.

You don't have to thank me.

Those guys just pissed me off.

Instead of complimenting my skills,

they were talking sh*t about you.

It was so damn annoying.

Are you really doing this, Ken?

Have you thought it through?

Yes, sir.

I discussed it with my parents yesterday.

Okay.

Then I'll...

respect your decision, Ken.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Coach Kong.

I'll head back to class.

Goodbye, sir.

Actually,

you can just call me Kong, like before.

Of course not.

You're a teacher now.

And Sun's coach as well.

Oh, Sun...

I hardly have to coach him.

The coach you found for him

has already trained him very well.

Right.

So, how have things been for you?

Have you taken the school team

to any tournaments yet?

Won many trophies?

This is only my first year.

Right now, I'm still adjusting to the team

and recruiting new players.

Right.

Actually, I owe you an apology.

Sun's already competing in the youth circuit,

so he hasn't been able to compete for the school

and bring recognition to your club.

What can I do?

Actually, I...

wish I could help you win some trophies

and medals to put on display.

What do I have to do?

Hmm.

Amazing.

Hey, Bay.

Come on in.

Hi, Coach.

Can I help you?

I have something to tell you.

Hmm, perfect timing.

I have something to tell you too.

Umm, I think...

I'm going to have you play doubles.

Then who's playing singles?

I'll have Sun play singles.

He'll probably bring home a gold medal.

[SAMING PHON FAI]

Come on, Bay.

Try to understand.

You...

Sun asked you to do this, didn't he?

It's not like that, Bay.

You've got it all wrong.

The reason I'm putting you in doubles

is because I think it'll be easier for you.

And this is your first tournament.

That's fine.

Maybe it's for the best.

I was already thinking about
withdrawing anyway.

If that's how it is,

I'm okay with it.

I'm not competing anymore.

Hey.

Damn it.

Honestly, I'm kind of sad.

I thought I'd be the first one
to leave the club.

Turns out it's you instead.

Have you told anyone yet?

Yeah.

I told Ming,

Coach Kong,

and you.

Since you've made up your mind,

you'd better become a judge.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

I don't even know if I'll get into college yet.

Anyway, take care of Ming for me.

Hmm.

Me?

Yeah, you.

Now that you're not playing singles,

why don't you take my place?

Right.

By the way,

I think Bay's withdrawing.

Huh?

What do you mean?

Hey!

Hold on.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Have you withdrawn yet?

If you haven't, don't.

Ken's not playing doubles anymore.

Oh.

So it really was you
who talked to Coach Kong.

Are you really an athlete?

What the hell are you talking about?

You couldn't accept losing?

Have you no f*cking shame?

Son of a b*tch!

F*ck you!

Hey, calm down!

You guys, calm down!

What the f*ck is wrong with you?!

What are you muttering?

You're the one who threw the first punch.

F*ck you!

Quiet!

That's enough, okay?

Sun!

-Sun! Are you okay?
-Pa.

You're not a child anymore.

Is violence the only way
you know how to solve problems?

-Please, sir.
-Huh?!

Sir,

please don't use that kind of language.

Chun, you son of a b*tch!!

Dad!

Oh, my.

Did Sun do this to you?

Ouch!

It hurts!

Is this how you raise your son?

Teaching him to solve everythingwith violence?!

Wasn't it your son who started it?

Look!

Look at my son's face.

See?

Bay!

Didn't your son provoke mine first?

My son was just defending himself.

How can you even say that?

-Your son started it!
-Please, sir.

-Sir.
-Is this how you raised your son?

Wonder where he learned it from?

Sir, please stop.

Hello.

-Hello, Principal.
-Hello.

Hello.

Principal, please be fair to my son.

I understand.

First, I'd like to speak to each side separately.

Bay and Bay's father, please come in.

Please.

Bay.

Pa, look.

Any more bruises?

So, you were upset because Coach Kong

assigned you to doubles

even though you won the singles tryout, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Here's what I don't understand.

What does Sun have to do with it?

Sun asked Coach Kong to get rid of me

because he wanted to play singles himself.

I don't know anything about that, ma'am.

I never spoke to Coach Kong about it.

Bay's just making excuses.

Actually, he told me yesterday

he was going to withdraw.

Withdraw?

You were going to withdraw, Bay?

That was the plan, Dad.

Hey, don't do that.

Why would you quit?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

The thing is,

my son won the tryouts fair and square.

So he deserves to stay in the tournament,

isn’t that right, ma’am?

Actually,

I can play doubles instead.

Quiet, Sun.

Coach Kong must have decided

that putting you in singles

gave the school a better chance

of winning a medal.

Now that I think about it,

it must have been Coach Kong's own decision.

Isn't that right, ma'am?

At lunch today,

I went into Coach Kong's office,

and I saw him eating dim sum from Sun's place.

If Sun hadn't spoken to him,

where would that dim sum have come from?

And don't tell me Coach Kong ordered

dim sum from their place.

He just ordered from my restaurant.

Why would he order from theirs too?

Isn't that right, ma'am?

Umm, yes.

This morning, Sun’s father brought me some dim sum.

And he did suggest you something, didn’t he?

Normally, this would be serious enough

to get you fired.

But since this is your first offense,

I’ll just give you a warning.

Thank you, Principal.

But there will still be disciplinary action.

Your salary will be docked

so the other teachers won’t follow your example.

Because of what happened,

it wasn’t fair to Bay.

There.

You heard that?

You have to be fair to my son.

But you shouldn’t have said that to your friend, Bay.

Oh.

That’s true.

You have to be fair to my son too.

I have made up my mind.

Next week, once both of you have fully recovered,

I’ll have Coach Kong hold another tryout

just for Sun and Bay.

Another tryout?

But we have to submit the players’ names

to the tournament organizers now.

I’ll talk to them myself.

Either way,

you were also at fault in this matter, Coach Kong.

We’ll talk later, privately.

Are you two okay with this?

If you say so,

I don’t mind.

I don’t mind, either.

Whatever you say, ma'am.

I was asking the boys.

I’m okay with that, ma’am.

Whatever you say.

Sun!

Answer the Principal.

If that’s how it has to be,

I don’t have any problem.

Okay.

So that’s over.

You’re okay with that, sir?

Everything is clear now, sir?

In that case,

thank you for your time coming down here.

-Of course, ma’am.
-Of course, ma’am.

Thank you so much.

Let’s go, Pa.

Hold on, Sun and Bay.

-Yes, ma’am?
-Don’t leave yet.

Since you two caused all this trouble today,

after school, you’ll clean the bathrooms

as punishment.

Eh? Why am I getting punished too?

It’s a punishment.

But he started it.

You both caused the trouble,

so you’ll both be punished together.

Okay?

Just help each other.

I’d like to apologize again.

Next time, don’t listen to him.

You’re so annoying.

The principal has solved the problem.

Just stop talking.

I’m not gonna waste my time arguing with you.

Then shut your mouth.

You just keep talking.

Dad.

How was it, dad?

What do you want now?

What else do you want?

Huh?

Damn it.

Is Bay hurt badly?

We’ll talk at home.

But I have to say,

Sun’s face is more messed up.

Boat,

you’re not gonna say hi to me?

Aren’t you the reason my brother’s in trouble?

Well, I didn’t know it would turn out like this.

Yeah, I know you.

Don’t worry about it.

I’m off.

Boat,

are you avoiding me?

You didn’t reply to any of my texts.

Nah, why would you say that?

I’ve been busy with my studies.

That’s all.

I’ll text you when I have time, okay?

See you.

What, dad?

What were you two talking about?

Just saying hi to my friend.

Does Kong know about you?

How would he know?

Good. Keep it that way.

Slow down.

Look.

I didn’t know my dad went to talk
with the coach.

Why are you telling me now?

Because I want you to know

that I’m not trying to sabotage you.

If you really think that,

why don’t you go tell the principal

to put me back in the competition?

Didn't you say you were going to withdraw?

I wasn't going to withdraw

because I thought I couldn't do it.

I was going to withdraw

so I wouldn't keep showing up

and getting on your nerves.

Let me ask you this.

You think if I continue with the competition,

I wouldn’t win, right?

In the end, you think you're better than everyone else.

Assh*le.

Hey.

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Why did you sign up in the first place?

Answer me.

Why did you start playing tennis again?

Why are you competing with me?

How does that matter?

It f*cking matters.

You show up whenever you like,

and you leave whenever you want, right?

You never change at all.

Back then,

I begged you to keep playing with me,

but you didn’t even care.

Back then?

I’m not gonna play tennis with you anymore.

Right.

I do think I’m better than you.

At least,

I kept my promise from that day.

I never stopped playing tennis.

But you’re the one

who gave up.

You still remember that day?

Hey.

What, honey?

Did it bother you that much?

[At least,]

[I kept my promise from that day.]

[I never stopped playing tennis.]

[But you’re the one]

[who gave up.]

[The rooftop.]

Have you calmed down?

You're calling me hotheaded?

Hey.

I didn't say that.

Just hear me out.

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

I'm sorry I punched you.

That's it?

Wait!

I'm sorry...

about what happened back then.

Why?

Actually...

I still remember what happened.

Chun.

Looks like you and I had the same idea.

I was just about to come see you.

I was so frustrated

-I couldn't sleep.
-Pa!

We still have unfinished business.

Let's settle it once and for all.

I couldn't sleep either.

Probably for the same reason.

Just tell me what you want.

Now that your son and my son

are competing fairly,

-I think we should...
-Just get to the point.

Let's make a deal.

Whoever's son loses,

that family shuts down their shop.

Huh?!

Yeah.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

Let's put it in writing.

BE Fine.

Deal.

-Deal.
-You draw up the contract,

and I'll come over tomorrow to sign it.

One of us will have to find a new profession.

You should sell noodles.

Or fish dumplings.

That seems more your style.

Sh*t!

Oh, f*ck!

What are we gonna do?

Go talk to your dad.

Make him forget about this.

You talk to your dad.

My dad's too stubborn.

Yours is easier to talk to.

My dad's stubborn too.

Your dad's easier.

If you don't talk to him,

one of our families will have to move.

Are you really okay with that?

Of course not.

You mean that?

Hey!

I don't want you to leave either.

What's gotten into you?

Oww!

My eyes.

"My eyes."

You've played tennis for years without complaining.

But one motorcycle ride and you're whining?

Hey!

I need my eyes to play tennis,

idiot.

Fine.

Then protect your eyes

and sit still.

You're not planning anything stupid, are you?

Why would I?

I'd get hurt too.

Huh?

Or do you think I'd slam on the brakes

just to make you hug me?

Keep dreaming.

Hey! Hey! Hey!!

Oww.

Watch it.

They just cut me off.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Whatever.

I told you not to do anything stupid.

There's a lot of traffic ahead.

Be careful.

If you lose and try to pull any tricks,

I'll see you in court.

When you lose,

don't you dare cheat my son.

You already hate that boy, don't you?

Let's settle this once and for all.

I don't hate him.

You don't?

Sun!

I'm begging you.

If my family's shop goes out of business,

I'll lose my chance to study abroad.

If you want to go abroad,

then you'll just have to beat me.

I'll take this one.

Seriously,

where have you been all these years?

Well, I'm here now.

[GOT A FEVER RIGHT BEFORE THE MATCH]

-What are you doing?

-Hey!

-You came all the way to my house?
