Longing Heart (My First Love / 애간장 / Aeganjang)

Mr. Kang?

Is this a dream?

You gave me a piggyback ride like this back then, too.

Right, Mr. Kang?

No.

Look at me properly.

I'm not Mr. Kang, your teacher.

There was...

so much that I wanted to do for you back then.

And there was so much that I wanted to say to you back then!

But, because I was your teacher...

I had to hold myself back so much!

So, do you really think...

that I want to hear you call me that again?

But...

You are my teacher, though.

I told you, I'm not!

Hmph.

Just...

say that you are!

This is my dream, anyway.

Fine.

Do it, then.

Call me your teacher.

See?

You are Mr. Kang, after all.

I really, really wanted to see you...

Mr. Kang.

But...

isn't this our old school?

This is just like that day.

The day that I transferred to this school.

But you're not wearing a skirt today.

Thankfully.

Can't we go to the classroom, too?

Sure.

Do everything that you want to do.

She's not back yet.

Where did those two go?

Wow, what's this?

I bet this is where that flower bouquet guy sits.

Huh?

What the...

How many women is he seeing that he has this many rings?

I don't know, either. How should I know?

Yeah, of course I came back to the hospital. What else could I do?

Am I supposed to go to the spot where she's meeting up with her friends?

Coming here?

Well, I don't know. It seems to have been futile, honestly.

I mean...

I dragged her here so she could get some rest in between working

but Han Ji Soo is still a workaholic, as ever.

No way. How could I give up now?

I've only liked Han Ji Soo for the past ten years.

Yeah, yeah. I'm an idiot.

But still, I won't be the kind of idiot who'll let her get stolen from me.

By anyone.

All right. Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday.

Okay.

Who is it this time?

Oh, just someone. She's someone you know.

Is it Doctor Oh Young Joo from the plastic surgery department?

Yeah.

Aren't you tired of dating so incessantly?

You're only nice to me when I'm dating someone.

I'd be so much nicer to you, if only you didn't say things like this.

How's this one?

I think this one is the prettiest.

This is different from what she told me.

Ow!

Ow, damn it!

Do you want to leave now, if you're tired?

Mr. Kang.

Want me to tell you a secret?

What is it?

A long time ago...

when we were trapped in the classroom because of that fire...

You have your phone, right? Give it to me. I'll call someone.

I don't have my cellphone.

To be honest, back then...

I did have my phone.

I didn't know that.

Now...

that I've told you a secret...

can't you grant me a wish?

What wish?

Tell me that...

one more time.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Just like you did before.

That it's all right...

because I'm here now.

The mere fact that you're in front of me now...

And tell me that's more than good enough.

That's more than good enough.

Tell me that...

just one more time.

Just one more time.

Huh?

This is the ring that I picked up for her.

Did Flower Bouquet buy this one for her?

This...

isn't a ring that Flower Bouquet bought her.

I bought this for her.

What's this?

Isn't this a women's ring?

Um, yeah! It's for you.

It's for you. I bought it to give to you.

Why are you taking it, then? If it's mine, give it to me.

Huh?

I’m going to see if it fits me.

I definitely gave this to Mom.

So how...

does Ji Soo have this?

It's okay.

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

It would be so nice...

if I could turn back time.

A chilly breeze that blew into my heart.

The periphery of those eyes

that turned a fiery red before the truth.

It may have been that, at that moment...

I innately felt what my true fate was.

My true fate, which I had been unable to avoid.

How did I get back here last night?

Maybe it's just another ring that looks similar?

What are the chances that Ji Soo would have the same ring...

that I bought back then?

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Um, did your teacher bring me back here yesterday, by any chance?

No, I brought you back.

And Mr. Kang took Mr. Min Seok home.

Oh, really?

Oh yeah, I had something to ask you, Deok Goo.

What is it?

A patient that I treated in Seoul sent me a text

but I don't understand what they wrote.

What does this say?

Um...

Did they write to you in a secret code?

You don't know, either?

But you're a high schooler, just like this patient!

"You do the best face the world, Doc."

"Do I admit that? Yeah, I admit that."

"Real facts. Impossible to refute."

And who the hell is this?

What does he mean, "you do the best face?"

I'm not a plastic surgeon, though.

I'm an orthopedic surgeon.

This is a plastic surgery ward, right?

Then, are orthopedic surgeons the ones who make the "best faces?"

I can't understand the lingo that kids use nowadays.

Hah!

Why are you talking about them like that when you're a School Luncher, too?

What's a "school luncher?"

Just wait until later when you'll have to wrestle with

the other school lunchers for 12 hours.

Then you'll learn all of their lingo.

Ugh, I don't want to go to school.

You have no choice but to go, if you don't want to end up broke.

Ugh, you!

I don't want to hear that from you, when you've been cutting school all this time.

But, um, why did you tell me to tell Ji Soo

that I brought her back here yesterday?

Shin Woo.

I'm sorry.

I want her to think that it was all really a dream

and forget about it all.

At any rate, don't forget about what I told you, and look into it for me.

You have to do something to repay me for your hospital fee!

Do you know how many months' worth of my paycheck you're using up right now?

Ugh, all right, already!

I'll be going now.

See you later!

And don't cut school to go somewhere else, you hear?

Here.

So, did you have fun yesterday?

It felt as if I went back in time to ten years ago.

But I think I drank way too much.

I bet you were calling out that teacher's name again, then.

You always say your old homeroom teacher's name when you get drunk.

It makes me so jealous.

I just really want to visit him.

But I can't find him, no matter how hard I try.

You didn't really spend your birthday alone yesterday, did you, Senior?

Are you kidding me?

It took an hour just for me to blow out the candles.

The girls that I was with just kept singing happy birthday over and over!

I knew that would be the case, which was why I didn't go.

But in exchange, you have to give me two presents.

I'll give you three. Three.

So all of that is just an act, huh?

All right, then.

Then I'll put on an act, too.

About those three presents, though.

Can one of them be a promise you make to me?

What kind of promise?
