School 2021 (학교 2021)

It's you.

The person I'm serious about.

Oh...

Um.

Oh, no.

Sorry. I really had no idea.

It's really annoying of me to say that I didn't know

but I'm really sorry.

I didn't say that to make you feel bad.

I think I was too comfortable with you and couldn't take a hint.

Don't be uncomfortable, though.

Is that a difficult thing to ask?

Don't be sorry

and don't be uncomfortable.

Please just think about it.

Can you do that?

O-okay.

I will.

I think your phone's buzzing.

W-what?

I can't go today.

Sorry.

Geez...

Did you get home safe?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you.

Goodnight.

Hey.

Why didn't you come earlier?

Mr. Lee said you were coming.

Why would you need me?

I'll only get in the way.

Hey.

Still, it's your idea.

I worked on it with Young Joo and submitted it.

Good.

I can go now, right?

Huh?

Okay.

What's up with him?

I'm going to go crazy.

It's you.

The person I'm serious about.

She didn't say that she liked him, did she?

No way.

It's only been a few days since she said she likes me.

She rejected him, right?

Whatever. Let's just not think about it.

What are you doing?

- You need help? - What?

Oh, it's nothing. I'm almost done.

Grandpa.

Where did you get this cutting board?

Ji Won made that and gifted it to me.

Good work.

Have this.

It's already tangerine season?

When did you buy them?

Well, Ji Won brought a bag full earlier.

Oh, this is from Ji Won too.

Did you lend her your sweats?

Ki Joon.

Can you grab me that back scratcher over there?

Oh, this?

Ji Won also made this for me.

Ki Joon.

They're selecting a new head of security at my apartment complex.

Stop.

Stop, Grandpa. Stop!

- Stop. - I shouldn't?

From now on,

I'm banning "ji won" from our house.

Banned.

Ji Won is banned.

Hey.

What's up with you?

I shouldn't apply?

You should "try," Grandpa, not "apply."

Good work today.

- Bye now. - Where should we go?

Let's go.

Good work today.

Hyungnim!

Hey.

So, you're not working in this field anymore?

Is teaching suiting you?

Aigoo, who cares if it's suitable?

I'm just doing it.

Alright.

Hyungnim,

by any chance,

did Sang Rim reach out to you?

- Sang Rim? - Yeah.

I quit working there

not long after you quit, Chief Lee.

They didn't contact me since.

Why?

Recently,

I met Cheol Joo.

Do you remember him?

He got injured as an apprentice.

Aigoo, I remember.

That accident was why I quit.

It was?

That jerk, the on-site manager, put so much pressure on me.

The high-altitude maintenance lift that Cheol Joo was on...

It wasn't in good shape, so no one wanted to get on it.

After Cheol Joo fell,

they were worried we might testify against them

and they threw a crazy fit.

Geez.

I'm not one to lie.

And I couldn't really take Cheol Joo's side, so I quit.

I was blacklisted then, so I can't do any work with Sang Rim anymore.

Sang Rim has the most constructions around here.

Cheol Joo...

is in a wheelchair.

And his trial with Sang Rim is still ongoing.

So what are you going to do? Step forward?

I don't really know, to be honest.

The school I'm working at happens to be a Sang Rim foundation school.

Aigoo. Why are things so complicated?

There wouldn't be any evidence or anything that could help, is there?

I think the company got rid of the report I submitted.

Gosh. Of course, they did.

You remember back then,

the supervisor was too slow and frustrating at his work,

so you used to text the manager directly.

Did you text him anything about the high-altitude work?

I did.

I think I did.

That should be on the old phone.

Then you can check that.

But my old phone...

- Thank you, goodbye. - Bye.

Go inside.

It's my wifey!

Honey.

Look.

I was calling the folks at my company and on-site all day.

But no one is picking up.

Oh, right.

- I should call Deputy Jo's wife. - Just stop it.

Stop what?

They're saying I was bribed.

But these people...

all know that I wasn't.

They know, so why-

That's why I told you not to get involved.

It's not like I did anything wrong.

I only did it because those people asked me to help them. So...

why am I fired over it?

When did I ever get bribed?

Minding other people's business can be a sin.

It's a sin to pretend to be the hero,

pretending you have skills when you don't.

Is that everything you have to say?

Please pick up.

Someone just say something, you-

The old phone?

The one you threw and broke?

Yeah. What did we do after I threw it?

Did we just throw it away?

Not sure.

Why?

I caught up with Man Soo

and I remembered I had texted with Manager Gu Byeong Chul.

I think I told him that the lift that Cheol Joo was on

where he had the accident needed to be exchanged...

Is this because of Cheol Joo's trial?

No, I was just wondering.

Do you even know why you came to our school?

What do you mean?

The person who was here before you,

Mr. Kim Moo Kyung,

he was Cheol Joo's homeroom teacher when he had the accident.

He did a lot to take Cheol Joo's side.

- Really? - And now you're here.

He's gone.

You mean he was fired?

- For taking Cheol Joo's side? - I...

don't want to be a bad person for you again.

I hope you can keep the promise you made when we divorced,

saying you'd be happy as only Ah Reum's dad.

Mom!

Ji Won.

Huh?

You didn't bring an umbrella?

No.

Thanks.

I'll just join you to the classroom.

Let's go.

Why didn't you bring an umbrella when it's pouring like this?

I know, huh?

Why is it suddenly pouring so much?

It has to stop soon, right?

Thank you so much.

Why do you always look at only here and now?

What?

Check on the weather and pack your umbrella.

You can't even do things like that?
