Thumping Spike (Pounding Spike / Dugeundugeun Seupaikeu / 두근두근 스파이크)

The volleyball team...

will be abolished!

President Lee has already agreed

and we will officially announce it soon.

There's no way...

When we got rid of the top talents of your team...

you should have expected something like this to happen.

I gave you three years.

Wasn't that more than enough time, Coach Song?

You can leave.

We went in to solve a problem...

but we came out with a bigger one.

What do we do?

Well...

there's nothing we can do.

Are you going to give up so easily, Coach Song?

You see... this school was my own school as well...

I was a volleyball player who bounced all over the court at this school

and this is the school where my career ended.

Coach Kang... I'm sure you thought this too.

You probably wondered how a dwarf like me played volleyball.

My height right now... was my height in elementary school.

But... I overcame my height.

Although I'm short...

my jumping ability... surpassed that of our best player.

If that player jumped once, I jumped twice.

And if he practiced two times, I practiced four to eight times!

But...

this world...

never cared about my efforts... and only saw my short height.

This is the same thing.

In this world, no one claps for last place.

If we don't have the skills...

it's right to disappear.

If you like something, is there such thing as right or wrong?

Can't you like volleyball... even if you're not talented?

Hey, Baek Woo Jin.

You never stay home, do you?

The President's Cup is coming up soon.

Didn't Coach Song tell you anything?

I guess the principal hasn't announced it yet...

- The volleyball team will be abolished. - Excuse me?

The volleyball team will be abolished, understand?

Coach! Have you heard? The volleyball team is being abolished--

Are you going to practice?

Yeah... what about you?

Jae Woong said he had something to do, so we were going to practice without him.

What about the others?

Jin Ah and Won Young went shoe shopping.

I guess everyone's hanging out separately today...

Let's go.

- How did you find out? - My father, what about you?

From the principal...

He cut the top talents of the team, and fired the maid in the residence...

and then he put us on probation...

I guess this was the last step.

What do we do if they really get rid of the team?

What are they getting rid of?

Tell me! What are they getting rid of?

It's so cute...

Thank you, Jae Woong.

Jae Eun... is it okay if you sit for so long? Aren't you tired?

I'm not tired, I'm okay.

She's so happy to see you... what can we do?

Rascal...

If the principal said he's getting rid of the team, it's all over!

If I go back home, my brother will beat me up!

Is he still beating you up?

If you're a thug once, you're a thug for life.

I have to switch schools.

I'll have to go back to Gwangju where my father works.

There's a spare bedroom in my house. Do you want to stay with me?

Jin Ah, can't you give that spare room to me?

- No, I can't. - This guy...

They're terminating our volleyball team, but you all only care about yourselves.

Were you waiting for the team to be terminated?

What did our coach say?

- He's worried... - That doesn't sound like our coach.

I'm sure he said, "What can we do? There's nothing we can do."

The coach sees the rest of us as garbage, except for Jae Woong!

Hey, Lee Han Sol. That's not true!

- Jae Woong! Where are you going? - Are you leaving?

- Jae Woong! - Jae Woong!

Jae Woong! Hey!

Hwang Jae Woong!

Hwang Jae Woong! Hwang Jae Woong!

- Coach! - Coach!

Hey.

Wait a minute, you couldn't find him?

He left on a bus, so I couldn't catch him.

I'll go to his house tomorrow and have a talk with him.

Jae Woong doesn't have a home!

Hey, Soo Bin.

What do you mean?

His sister... is very sick.
