My Korean Teacher (いきなり先生になったボクが彼女に恋をした)

"Seoul, South Korea"

Your room is ready. Please enjoy your stay.

I'll call you for dinner.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

"My Korean Teacher"

"Three years ago"

"Ueno, Tokyo"

"Shinsei Food Co., Ltd"

I'm very sorry.

But our company isn't doing well right now.

We can't afford to renew your contract.

I'm afraid this will be your last month.

There's no way for me to stay?

You haven't been back to Seoul in three years.

Go back and talk to your father.

Surely, there's a job for you

among his many subsidiaries.

Haruko! —Yes?

The documents, please.

Yes, that sounds fine.

Let's go with that then.

How did it go?

So that means the Okinawa trip tomorrow

will be your last assignment.

It's easy work, so enjoy yourself.

I will.

"Naha, Okinawa"

I'm home.

Yuri.

Yuri?

What's going on...

Hey, if you have a problem with me

don't keep quiet, spit it out.

You're so annoying. Act like a man!

Please, Yuri. Calm down.

And speak in Japanese.

He may not look it

but he's the president of an IT firm.

He's filthy rich.

Unlike you, he makes his own money.

That's my kind of man.

Hey.

Get lost.

"Seoul"

Young-un.

I'm surprised that you called.

Where are you? Still at work?

Yes.

I'm preparing for a business trip tomorrow.

"Oh my... you must be exhausted."

"By the way, son."

"You look really down."

"Is something wrong?"

No, nothing in particular.

"Your dad's here. Want to speak to him?"

Is he?

Dear, it's Young-un.

Would you like to say hello?

"Sorry. He was here a minute ago..."

I ran away from home.

He probably doesn't want to talk to me.

"Young-un, don't say that."

"Why don't you come back to Seoul"

"and work for your father?"

"He has been getting questions about"

"what his successor is up to these days."

Sorry, Mum. I need to wake up early tomorrow.

I'll have to go now.

"Okay. Take care of yourself."

Okay. —"Keep in touch."

My life's a disaster.

Dear.

I think it's time you told Young-un

about your operation.

What for?

"Naha, Okinawa"

"Uehara Food Supply"

Thank you very much. —You're welcome.

Hello, Mr Iwata?

I just met with our client.

Hello?

Mr Iwata?

I can't hear you.

Mr Iwata? Are you there?

I have no idea.

I left it all to my accountant.

Like I said, the police is here

at our office right now.

It looks bad.

You'd better stay in Okinawa for a while.

Apparently what you delivered today

isn't real ginseng.

Who are you calling? Let's talk.

Yes, sir. —Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Mr Iwata?

Hey! Hold it! —Hello?

You! From Shinsei Foods!

You...

Stop right there!

"You've reached Shinsei Foods."

"Our business hours are..."

"Yuri, I'm in Okinawa."

"But don't worry."

"Yuri: I'm at home."

"Don't worry about me."

"Open image"

Bloody hell, you witch!

Why did she choose that friggin' loser?

You'll regret this! Hell!

Hell!

What the hell am I doing?

How do you do?

I'm Kawamoto.

Thank you.

Right? —Yes...

Here's your set meal.

That sounds like a real disaster.

You can't go back to Tokyo.

You'll be staying here for a while?

Yes, my supervisor told me not to go back.

I can't even reach him now.

And my girlfriend...

is with this guy.

Take it easy.

Fate has brought us together.

Dinner and drinks are on me.

Drink to your heart's content.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you.

So it looks like we have a deal.

A toast to Lee Young-un's future!

Thank you!

More...

Cheers! —Cheers!

Mr Kawamoto, you did it.

Have faith and you will be rewarded.

We should never give up too easily.

I'm counting on you, Teacher.

Mr Young-un.

I fail at everything I do.

But I sure as hell can sing!

"Turning in bed towards the wall."

"Listening intently with my back to you."

"I suppose this means you're leaving."

"It's not all bad."

"Gather up memories of our good times."

"Pack them into your bags with your things."

"If you never return"

"I hope you find happiness."

"But you'll always be welcome here."

"Just leave me with a little dignity."

"Slip out the door"

"while I pretend to be asleep."

Good morning!

I brought you breakfast. Rice ball.

May I come in?

Did you sleep well?

You sure had a lot to drink.

How are you feeling today?

Mr Kawamoto.

Thank you so much for last night.

Don't mention it.

Excuse me but... where am I?

This is where you'll be living.

Make yourself at home.

It's a good location.

And the school's nearby.

The school?

Yes. You're the new Korean language teacher

at Kawamoto Foreign Language Academy.

Wait. Don't you remember?

What we talked about last night.

A toast to Lee Young-un's future!

Thank you!

The Korean instructor we hired

vanished with our signing bonus.

Sayuri and I just happened to be

wandering the streets...

when you appeared before us.

No, I can't.

I can't possibly teach Korean.

Of course you can.

Besides, teaching is a thousand times better

than going around selling fake ginseng.

You don't want to return to Seoul.

And you have no one in Tokyo, right?

And then you said...

it was only right that one Korean

fills the vacancy left by another Korean.

And you willingly accepted the job.

You don't know how happy that made us.

So your first class is tonight at 6.30pm.

No way! I can't!

Please. If we don't start the course tonight,

I'll have to refund the tuition fees.

The school will lose its credibility
