At a Distance, Spring is Green (Blue Spring from a Distance / Meorliseo Bomyun Peureun Bom / 멀리서 보면 푸른 봄)

Use me.

I'll be your boyfriend.

This is my girlfriend.

She's pretty, right?

So-bin, is this true?

I hear you're best friends.

My girlfriend having a male BFF isn't that ideal for me.

I'm afraid there's too much history between us.

Chan-ki, what's taking you so long?

Her again?

I'm afraid we won't be able to be friends.

Come on. Aren't you coming inside?

I'll be a minute.

Here's my advice to you as your ex-girlfriend.

Unless you cut her from your life, you'll never get a girlfriend

or marry someone.

I can do without.

What can I do for you? Just ask.

I'd rather go to my dorm room.

And cry under the covers?

No. But...

But what?

I should've brought the fried chicken with me.

For you, I mean.

Forget it. I hate fried chicken!

Especially what was meant for someone else.

Okay, fine. I'll get you something nicer next time.

I'll go with you then and walk you back.

- No, don't. - I forbid you to say that.

I did you a favor, so I'll do whatever I want.

And what would that be?

Speaking casually to you.

When I'm your senior?

Is that a no?

Well,

you're my mentor, so do as you wish.

Your student should oblige since she only humiliated herself today.

Exactly, So-bin.

Not too casually.

This is how it'll be!

Hey, Yeo Jun. Jun!

Hurry up.

I can't believe you called right on time though.

Worry swept over me.

And regret.

Regret?

I pushed you into confessing your feelings.

Stop saying that.

You did nothing wrong.

Rejected or not,

I should've picked another day though.

That I regret.

Why's that?

That ex of his

wasn't too fond of me when they dated.

She told me to stay away from him.

So I promised her.

That I didn't like Chan-ki.

That...

there was nothing between us.

They seem to be back together.

Those candles I lit.

Darn, this is humiliating.

She knows I lied.

Don't cry. I won't let you a second time.

It's Chan-ki.

Don't answer him.

You're forbidding everything.

Didn't I earn that right?

As your boyfriend.

- Declining his call like that-- - He'll be taken aback.

It's why I declined it though.

But we're still friends.

Someone who takes advantage of your feelings

and stands you up all the time isn't a friend.

Maybe it's just you who thinks so.

- What? - Why do you care about a person

who ignores and hurts you?

Why let him own you?

That's...

Of course.

It was probably your only option.

It's not easy

to find someone who can save you

from affection deprivation.

Talk about a punch to the heart.

It hurts.

I'm just as messed up.

How so? Are you in a one-sided love too?

I told you to stay clear from it.

I'll heed your advice, so you heed mine.

As in?

Don't answer his calls

until he apologizes.

Even if you do pick up,

don't agree to meet him.

Not without my permission.

What if I run into him?

Take a page out of Nam Soo-hyun's book.

That's not easy to do.

Repeat after me.

"What business do you have with me?"

"Can you get lost?"

"Why are you laughing?"

You sound just like him.

"Can you get lost?"

"Do I sound like him?"

- "Isn't it this?" - "Do I sound similar?"

That's how you would say it!

Sound more like Soo-hyun.

Soo-hyun...

That'll be 2,800 won.

Here you go.

Soo-hyun.

Soo-hyun, it's been a while.

Park Hyung-min?

It's nice to run into you like this.

We used to be close back in freshman year.

Were we? I don't remember.

It's been a while. Anyway, I have somewhere to be.

Are you perhaps interested in a part-time job?

A part-time job?

You've worked all kinds of part-time jobs before

and have a high TOEIC score.

Is it true

that you provide room and board too?

Of course. Can you start tomorrow?

Yes.

I look forward to the work.

By the way, how do you know the CEO?

The CEO?

There you go.

- Just a second. - Right there.

- That'd be 250. - Can you pull on that side?

Miss, you can't go in there!

Young-ran.

Tell me. Why did you turn down that job?

It was a good one.

The kind you were looking for.

And how exactly would you know that?

- What? - A job like that never existed.

I heard that

someone asked the CEO to make an opening.

No wonder. It had a room and board arrangement,

the job was easy, and it paid way too much.

Moreover,

someone I barely know offered me the gig.

Come to think of it,

he had a crush on you since freshman year.

So what?

Friends can pull some strings, you know.

Because you are my friend.

Because of me, you're in his debt.

How will you repay him?

Young-ran,

I hate being in people's debts.

I loathe being a problem to others.

I don't know how to repay favors.

Nor do I have the ability or time.

I just...

I just wanted to cut you a break.

I suppose you say that often

without knowing what it's really like to want to die.

[ gather the materials and go over them instead? ]

Maybe I should skip school today.

I'm only ten minutes late.

[ Being punctual is the first step to acing tests. ]

I think I'm lost.

I'm at the fountain, so meet me here.

Bye!

Such a nagger.

I took time off practice

to meet him between his classes.

He'll be a while, right?

Let's take a look around.

Him over there.

Seriously? Not again.

Bleaching your hair damages your roots and scalp.

Is it your roots or scalp though?

- Mind your own business. - I know from experience.

Soo-kyung,

you think I'm a boomer.

I'm most certainly not.

Then what are you?

All I wish is to talk about life with students

over a meal.

There's so much I've experienced that I want to tell them about.

That's what makes you a boomer.

It sure is hot outside.
