A Shoulder to Cry On (소년을 위로해줘)

Episode 1. Hamster and Sociopath

My entire life had been on target.

I had put away all other things.

By the moment I ended up meeting you.

Every single thing in my life had already been set up too early.

Being aware of it, it was too late for a fresh start,

and I wouldn't know how to do that anyway.

Robin Hood's arrow doesn't really happen to athletes.

Why now?

Da-yeol, have breakfast.

Gosh, Samgaetang for breakfast?

Because you've got a big match coming up, it's important that you have lots of energy.

Being too full might make it harder to focus.

Less talking, more eating.

If you win in this competition, you'll become a member of the national team.

This is nothing but a friendly match, don't take it so hard.

Another chicken drumstrick?

I can't even finish what you gave me.

Okay.

I'm headed out.

Have a good day, my son.

You're early. I thought I would be the first one here.

When did you get here?

Not long ago.

Are you hurt?

No, it's nothing.

You should do warm ups beforehand.

Go to the school nurse to check it out, before it gets worse later.

No need. I'll be fine in a minute.

I'll let the coach know, just go check it out.

What it that?

It's definitely two guys.

- Hey, we're in the nurse's office. - I'll teach you everything.

This is really happening, huh

Oh!

My gosh.

What the heck!

Oh, sorry.

Wait a minute.

Hey, what on earth are you touching?

That's not what I mean. My spin feathers are missing.

Jeez, what the hell!

Jeez, what the hell!

He's handsome.

Oh my gosh! What do you think you're doing?

Wow.

It's not like…

Nurse, help me, please.

Though I made it clear that I'm not interested, he suddenly tried to attack me.

Hey, what the hell are you talking about?

Are you really okay? Huh? What's going on here?

The two of you, follow me.

You lost your mind, huh?

Are you insane?

You made a lot of trouble on the first day of the semester, you brat!

It was all misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

The truth is…I lost something valuable.

Although there is a witness, you still want to deny what you did, you brat?

I heard that you were practicing hard,

so I turned a blind eye to you skipping morning classes.

You are such an ungrateful wretch!

Won-kyung, tell me exactly what you saw.

Yes.

I was going to take Tae-hyun to the school infirmary, hearing that his stomach was upset.

All of a sudden, he...

Hey, tell the truth. You two were up to something!

You brat, I am right here in front of you.

See?

As you know, he is a member of an athletic club. I tried my best to stop him.

Yet, take a look at here.

Jeez, this is driving me up the wall.

I was scared to death, I couldn't stop him from doing it.

What the heck?

When did I do such a thing?

Enough! Da-yeol, if you keep denying everything...

Oh my.

Mr. Kwon, I'm so sorry.

Let me talk to Da-yeol. If you don't mind, can I take him?

No, go ahead.

Get going.

My, what the hell!

Lee Da-yeol.

Yes.

Did you lose your mind?

You must have so much free time to be doing things like that, huh?

That's not true.

I don't care what the truth is.

Apologizing to him, begging, whatever,

Make it clear and just focus on practice.

Yes, I'm very sorry.

I don’t care whether it was your fault or not.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

You got it?

Excuse me, miss.

Hello.

My name is Cho Tae-hyun.

Are you all right?

I was a bit startled but this is an important period for Da-yeol and me.

Putting it behind us, I hope to reconcile with him.

Thank you. If Da-yeol gets punished this time, things might turn out very badly for him.

Therefore, if Da-yeol doesn't mind, I'd just like to concentrate on my studying.

I wanted to spit on his face.

However, I had no choice but to stand.

Try again.

Remember nothing but the feeling.

Discard everything else.

My apologies.

Hey.

I can't stop thinking about it, this is way too unfair.

Huh?

So what?

Go tell Coach the truth.

Go tell her that you are threatening me, and you don't regret attacking me?

Should I say that I'm so scared of you, and that you should be punished?

It was just an accident and I didn't mean it.

Without you, I would be in big trouble.

What the hell?

Who the hell are you?

Well.

Join the club.

I won't ignore this.

I'm going to reveal your true face in public.

My true face?

My true face…

You are quite cute.

Smiling?

Is this funny?

I'm sure he doesn't feel guilty at all.

Does he not have a guilty conscience?

What a sociopath!

In a situation where there's a witness, who would believe your word over theirs?

Besides, did you not say you lost something?

"Spin" something?

Gosh, I haven't seen anything like that here.

I need to check anyway since it's so valuable to me.

Stop messing the clean beds.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I messed up the school infirmary.

Is that all?

Pardon?

What you did here…

Do you recognize that it was extremely rude to me as well as Tae-hyun?

I'm sorry for that.

Then it's fine.

If I find it, I'll keep it safe for you.

Thank you so much.

Please leave.

Too slow. Aim and shoot right away.

Let me try again.

Relax your body.

Why are you so late?

I'm so sorry.

Will you pull yourself together?

My apologies.

Will you quit?

You are already a senior who needs to consider juniors.

My mistake. I will focus my efforts.

Follow Min-jung as a good example.

I'm home.

Dad.

Get some sleep in your bed.

Dad.
