Copy the chart!
Hyo-joo.
Come quickly!
Here she is.
Oh my god!
Please help me! My baby...
Someone call a taxi, get her to a hospital!
She can't even sit up.
Yoon-mi, keep those kids out of here.
Don't panic. Breathe with me.
Slowly.
She kept calling for you. Like you're the midwife.
Hyo-joo's not even married, what does she know?
What's taking them so long?
Here they are.
- Hope she has a pretty baby. - I bet she will.
- Is it a girl? - I heard it's a girl.

How's the school lunch? A bit salty?
No...
There's been a modification to your contracts.
For a tenured teacher,
If pregnant, 'A' may be asked to resign.
is a blessing.
But not for you.
Anyway, please sign...
Don't plan on marrying before you get tenure.
That'd be foolish.
Ms. Park.
Until Na-yeon gets back, you'll be homeroom teacher for class 4.
I said before I can't do homeroom because of home issues.
What issues?
You and Na-yeon are so close, do me a favor.
You heard there's one less tenure opening next year?
You know your homeroom teacher is on leave?
Yes!
I'll be your homeroom teacher until she gets back.
Park Hyo-joo
Shin Jae-ha.
Jae-ha's seat at the back, why is it empty?
Jae-ha doesn't do night class.
Why not?
He specializes in dance. He'll be in the gym.
Okay.
Are you Jae-ha?
Yes.
I'm your new homeroom teacher.
Right... she's having a baby.
You teach chemistry?
- Park... - Park Hyo-joo.
If you're skipping night class, enroll in a dance school.
You just practice alone?
If I had the money, I would.
You want my life story?
No. I'm just a temporary replacement anyway.
You didn't go out?
No.
Why are you so late? I'm starving.
Don't you get hungry waiting for me to get home?
Of course. I only had ramen today.
Then cook for yourself.
I'm a homeroom teacher now, so I'll be late.
What about me?
What about you?
Do you even write?
You haven't written one page, how can you be so relaxed?
Must be nice being you.
Isn't there any soup?
Don't you like me for not stressing out like you?
Forget it.
The content's all decided.
It won't take long to write, it's just hard to start.
You know...
What did I tell you?
Don't mix my laundry with yours!
Are you sleeping?
Huh?
I'm tired.
Good morning, sir.
This is our newly hired teacher, Chu Hae-young.
A chemistry major.
With Na-yeon out, the board created a new tenure position.
Wasn't it your turn to get tenure?
I can't believe it.
It was.
Say a word...
Hi, I'm Chu Hae-young.
It's my first time teaching, so I'm scared and nervous.
I've got a lot to learn, but I'll try my best.
This way...
This is the head teacher.
Park Hyo-joo!
Right?
Sungduk University, Chemistry Education?
Yes. But...
You don't remember me? I'm Hae-young!
I was a freshman when you were TA.
Class of 2006.
It's been so long, my memory's hazy.
Nice to see you.
Wow, this is great!
Daddy!
This is Park Hyo-joo.
Now she's a teacher.
She was a TA at my university.
Though she probably doesn't remember.
I'm Hae-young's father.
Chairman of the Board!
How do you do?
I worry how a girl so naive can teach.
Please look after her.
Hyo-joo's one of our best and most liked teachers.
Ms. Park, please help her settle in.
Of course.
Thank you, Hyo-joo!
I mean, Ms. Park.
- How about a toast for Ms. Chu! - Okay!
Cheers!
That's great!
Oh, my! Thank you!
She's got nerve, getting drunk in front of her new co-workers.
What's a chairman's daughter got to worry about?
Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, don't mention it.
Put in a good word for us with the Chairman!
Sure!
That's right!
Your contracts all finish this year?
You'll need her on your side.
God, sucking up to a kid like that...
Tell me about it. Excuse me.
Hyo-joo! My dear Hyo-joo!
Wow, you must've been really close at school!
Ms. Chu is crazy about you!
Ms. Park, come here! Sit down!
I'm sorry, but honestly, I don't remember her.
Another shot?
Drink up, don't worry!
Don't go.
Please...
Hello, Ms. Park?
I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say.
What is this? Wake up, you!
For now, just put him to bed.
It seems he drank a lot.
Come with me.
You're home?
Sleep.
School transcript Shin Jae-ha
Family status: Single-parent
Talk to me.
I've nothing to say.
You've nothing to say?
Then what did I see yesterday?
I'm sorry. Do as you wish.
Suit yourself?
You don't give me a mind, do you?
Why would he do that?
No reason.
I don't want to ask you a favor.
I was going to just let it slide,
but you're just rude.
What is it?
So this is the chemistry lab.
Sorry Hyo-joo... I mean, Ms. Park.
But why is he...?
He's my student, keep out of it.
Have you got any business here?
No.
#7's answer is 2.
Now look at #8.
You must calculate the molecular weight of A at uniform pressure.
Taking the same cylinder...
Hold on.
God, it's hot.
Aren't you in class? Is it okay to come out?
Are you insane?
Hey, why are you so harsh?
Can't I even visit you?
Come outside.
Hyo-joo.
Hey!
I just...
I wanted to see where you work.
Eat lunch together at the cafeteria.
Go down memory lane, you know?
But you're so...
I'm telling you, it's great.
You need cash?
What?
We have a lunch meeting.
Take this and buy yourself something.
You're so mean.
Do you think my work...
Let's talk later.
Hyo-joo!
Was that your boyfriend?
What does he do?
How about lunch...?
Ms. Park!
These chemistry evaluations need to be finished ASAP.
Hae-young's a tenured teacher, we can't give her busy work.
Help us out.
Aren't you eating?
You go on.
Okay.
Hello?
Let me formally introduce myself.
I'm Hae-young's fiancé, Choi Min-ho.
I see.
Hyo-joo, are you surprised?
Oh, right.
You don't like me using your first name.
No, outside of school, it's fine.
I really wanted to get close to you.
My fiancé kept saying he wanted to buy you dinner.
I thought you'd be uncomfortable if I asked directly.
So I said I was with my Dad.
Really?
Hae-young's still a girl, she's been discourteous.
I hope you're not upset...
No, it's fine.
Just a minute.
Hyo-joo, this is for you.
These are new products from our company.
Hyo-joo, accept it!
Yes, thanks.
Let's meet up every so often.
And once again, please look after Hae-young.
You go ahead.
I'll go back with Hyo-joo.
Really?
Okay, then.
See you next time.
Hyo-joo...
Are you laughing at me?
What...?
Or you think I'm easy?
Or you play stupid and make me eat shit?
Did you have a grudge against me at school?
I told you, I never saw you!
You're angry that I lied to you before.
I'm sorry, I...
Do you pity me for showing up at school like a beggar?
You think dinner and gifts will bowl me over
like the other dumb bimbos around you?
Hyo-joo, why are you so mean to me?
What did I ever do wrong?
You think I'm the one who's mean to you?
Stop sniveling.
It's disgusting.
What's going on?
You don't want to talk to me?
So you turned off your phone?
Won't be needing my phone anymore.
I was really busy before.
I'm sorry. I was busy.
I'm a homeroom teacher now.
That's just how you are. Your personality.
Should I keep putting up with this, until I die?
What are you talking about?
Hyo-joo.
At this time I don't expect anything from you,
and you... Forget marriage, you expect nothing from me.
So?
So I've been thinking.
I'll go live in France.
My friend opened a small publishing company.
I can live and write more comfortably there.
What?
You decide by yourself and announce it to me?
It's not like you'll stop me.
Do you need me?
You irresponsible creep! Ten years!
When I was free, and pretty, and earning money,
my ten best years all went to you!
Now you've had all you want, you want to take off?
I never asked you for anything,
or told you to wait for me.
All this was what you wanted.
- Let me see... - Hold the camera lower!
What's that?
Oh, it's nothing.
What are you looking at? Give it.
What's your name?
Please let me off once. It was my first time.
So there are others?
Lots of guys post photos of her on Facebook.
3rd year, Yu Jong-gi. I'm reporting you.
Confiscated.
Please give it back! Don't show it to Hae-young!
I'm begging you!
Fucking bitch, give it back! You're not even a real teacher!
Hello, Ms. Park. Yesterday, I...
What is this?
The kids keep snickering at it.
How did this...?
Anyway, thank you.
I never imagined it.
You're the only one looking out for me.
You think that dress is appropriate for a schoolteacher?
What?
You think the rest of us don't know how to use makeup?
Ms. Park!
This is a boys school.
I think you enjoy getting attention from them.
It's not true.
I'm sorry, Ms.Park.
Did you only learn how to say sorry in university?
Aren't you tired of apologizing?
Ms. Park, why are you so strict?
Because you're her schoolmate?
Go easy on her, she's just starting.
No, it's fine.
It's my fault.
I'll go ahead.
What's the point in upsetting her?
Are you scared of her?
She's not her father.
What century are we in?
I'm letting you off just once.
And tell all your friends to stop, too!
Thank you teacher! Thanks so much!
Dance Competition of Sewon University
I'm sure you've seen it on the news,
that a teacher at a nearby school had an affair with a student.
So the Education Office is going crazy!
We're a boys school so I can't see that happening,
but keep control of the kids.
And teachers with night classes!
If kids are late or absent, be sure to give them demerits!
Ms. Chu, one minute.
Can I see you after this class?
I have something important to tell you about work.
Of course.
You remember what the vice-principal said?
We're a boys school, so I can't see that happening.
A teacher and a student. It won't happen.
That's what I thought, too.
I'm not sure what you're getting at.
You've really got it all.
Don't you?
Rich family. Pretty face. Young, and healthy.
Your father secures you a job.
A trophy fiance.
And a young student lover.
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
Last night, in the gym.
For you, school may be a playground.
But it's not a motel for you to have sex.
Ms. Park...
It was my mistake.
I couldn't help it.
I guess I'm still too young.
I know that you really hate me.
But please, let me off this once.
If the school finds out...
so will my father, and fiance...
It'll be the end of me!
For a girl with everything, 'it might be like playing house.
I understand.
Anyway, it ends now.
As your schoolmate, his teacher and a fellow woman.
This is a warning. End it now.
Thank you!
Thank you... I mean it, thank you.
Keep it a secret from Jae-ha. I'll talk to him.
Please.
I didn't say you're off the hook.
Better go to class.
Is she going somewhere?
I don't know... I guess she's sick.
For a chairman's daughter, a car comes when you're sick.
I am so jealous...
From today, you can't use the gym.
Why not?
I guess someone saw you.
Why let a delinquent use school property?
Hurry up.
Mister, please lock the door.
Jae-ha!
Get in.
What?
We're going somewhere. Get in.
Now?
Didn't your Dad tell you? Hurry up.
My Dad told me.
Do you really have to do this for me?
You're just a temporary teacher.
Ms. Kim will be back next year.
I'm your teacher for the whole year.
I don't know.
I don't know what my Dad said, but I don't feel comfortable.
Just let me use the gym.
I don't think you understand. This is a school.
Who knows what else you'll do there?
Don't complain, just focus on the competition.
I'm sorry. Let's talk tomorrow.
Missed calls: Hae-young
Is he okay?
Yeah, better than kids at art high schools.
If he promises not to miss class, he has potential.
Really?
I'm relieved.
You little tramp.
Calling me after so long.
You must be really fond of your student to do this.
Sorry. And he's not my student.
Let's go.
Thanks for your help.
See you.
What are you looking for?
My phone is gone. It was in my pocket for sure.
Did you lose it at school?
Look for it tomorrow.
The entry form for the competition.
Fill it out.
This looks so good. You made this yourself?
It's delicious. Eat up.
It's great.
Nae-young!
- Ms. Chu! Come eat with us! - Hurry up!
Have a seat.
Where have you been? I thought you didn't come.
The restroom is far away.
You try some too. Hyo-joo made it herself.
It's delicious.
Ms. Park, that's your dance student, right?
His name is... Jae-ha?
I felt sorry for him practicing alone in the gym.
You signed him up for dance lessons?
You're pretty amazing.
And on your salary.
I see it as an acceptable ulterior motive for a teacher.
Who knows? He could become famous.
That's right.
Yeah, someone like Mikhail Baryshnikov.
That's a good motive!
Aren't you going to wash up?
I'll just lie here a bit longer.
Your co-worker called me today. Park Hyo-joo.
Why?
How does she know your number?
I gave her my business card.
Why did she call you?
She thanked me for the cosmetics, and said she'd buy me a beer.
So I told her to come by the office.
Are you crazy? Why meet that woman...
I mean...
Why meet Hyo-joo on your own?
You told me to be nice to her.
No.
You don't need to.
Sorry, I'm just going to go.
I feel sick.
What is it?
Can I come inside?
I'd rather you not. Will this take long?
Hyo-joo.
Please help me.
Why should I?
You could've pretended not to see it.
But you spoke out of concern for me.
Perhaps. But I'm not your mother.
You should take care of it yourself.
I want to go back to how things were.
Help me.
The competition is coming soon, so keep focused.
Okay.
Teacher, I have a favor.
I think it's okay to ask this from you.
There's a performance I want to see, please go with me.
Buy you a ticket?
Well, that too.
I just want to go with you.
I'm a person who's spent my life memorizing formulas.
I don't get dance.
You sponsor a world-class dancer, surely you can go once!
Let's go together.
It's settled, then.
Good night.
Give me your wrist.
Hurry up.
You'll need collateral. Return it after the competition.
Bye!
Shall I take you home?
I'm not going home. Leave me at an all-night sauna.
Why?
My father has a new woman.
I don't like him being alone,
but I don't like being home with them either.
This is better, for him and me.
Want to come to my place?
What?
Is that okay?
I'm just worried about you. As a teacher.
Just for tonight.
Wow, do you think my mom lives like this?
So this is single living.
She had good reason to leave.
When did she leave?
I don't know. Don't remember.
Who knows, maybe she lives with a good man.
No, I hope she lives alone in a nice home like this.
Really?
You sleep here. The bathroom is that way.
Okay!
But why do you have men's clothes?
Who is it?
It's me.
It's late, isn't it?
It's okay. What is it?
I've thought it over.
I just can't get by without you.
Food tastes bad if you didn't make it.
I don't know what to wear without clothes you bought me.
Go away.
Go tell that to your mother.
Who's that?
With such a young kid?
So you changed the passcode?
Yeah.
Crazy bitch.
I don't need you anymore.
That's great.
Never knew you'd turn into a slut so quickly.
Nice to meet you.
Sorry. Go to sleep.
Teacher.
Do you want me to be your lover?
If you add x, y, z you get 8, so D is false.
Only B is true here,
so the answer is 1.
Hyo-joo!
The head teacher asked you to look at this.
Just the underlined parts,
Here and here.
But it's too big.
You'll grow more.
You want me to grow up quickly, right?
Listen to you. Take that off.
If you win the competition, I'll buy it.
You had me all excited.
Charge it, please.
Get lots of sleep for the competition tomorrow.
Yes, don't worry.
I'll be on my way.
What a generous teacher.
I feel bad accepting her help.
Don't worry, it's not just accepting.
Good night.
Dance Competition of Sewon University.
Jae-ha!
I'll pay your tuition and living expenses,
so stop coming to me.
Isn't this what you wanted?
What are you talking about?
You said if I pretended to date Ms. Park, you'd see me.
Why'd you lie?
Tell me.
Why would a teacher lie?
That's right.
I'm your teacher.
You know it. So let's go back to the start.
Bronze Medal, High School Boys. Lee Sung-chan.
We present this award to the above student for achievement
in the 25th Dance Competition of Sewon University.
Sewon University President Hwang Dae-jung.
Boys High School Ballet, Silver Medal.
Suyoung High School, Shin Jae-ha.
I'm so scared.
Please save me.
I'll just stay discreetly by your side.
I'll be quiet as a stone.
I don't care if you use me.
Just don't send me away.
I'm not going anywhere.
The person you are calling is not available.
Please try again later.
Rock-paper-scissors!
Anyone absent?
No.
Yesterday, Jae-ha placed second at the Sewon Dance Competition.
Then, can I stop coming to school?
Jae-ha, come with me a minute.
There's no need for this anymore.
You won the competition. You have a ticket to college.
Now you don't need me?
What else could a teacher want from her student?
What?
If people hear that a teacher supported a poor kid,
and got him into college.
A true educator of our generation.
Then I think you'll have no regrets either.
Am I just a teacher to you?
Didn't you say that you loved me?
I never said that.
All I did was do what you told me to.
It was you who took me to your home,
and touched me first,
wasn't it?
Don't students have to follow their teachers' instructions?
Is that all?
I lied to you just once.
That my father has a woman... that's a lie.
You didn't expect something in return, did you?
Surely a teacher wouldn't...
Why are you crying? I'm the victim here.
What an odd teacher.
I'll go back to class now.
That grammar teacher is really scary.
Like you.
Can I talk to you?
Sure.
Didn't you promise me that you'd stop seeing Jae-ha?
I'm his teacher. I'm responsible for him.
You've got some nerve.
This is your last chance.
- If you do something like... - Go ahead.
Spread rumors, or tell the Education Office.
I never planned on teaching long-term anyway.
As you said,
I've lived without worries, so I can't hide them.
And I already told my father.
About Jae-ha.
Are you crazy?
You can quit teaching, but you're still a woman.
You have to live as a woman. Get married...
I don't need any old-fashioned lectures.
Hyo-joo... no...
Ms. Park, are you clean yourself?
I won't say any more.
Oh. Fight!
This here...
is for Jae-ha's lessons.
You really don't have to go that far.
A teacher's sense of duty?
Thanks for your concern.
Hae-young, you...
I think we've said all we need to say to each other.
I'll go first. Take your time.
- Ms. Kim! - Oh, Teacher!
Congratulations!
I made such a fuss that day...
We're counting on you.
Sure.
I'll be back in a bit.
- See you later. - Sure, see you!
Were things hard without me?
The vice-principal was begging me to come back ASAP.
Did anything go wrong?
No.
Anyway, thanks for filling in.
I'll take over homeroom duties.
Ms. Park, a moment please.
I received notification from the Board today.
You're the only one whose contract wasn't renewed.
Well, it's the Chairman's decision,
but weren't you and Hae-young close?
I don't understand it.
What are you doing?
I need to ask you a favor.
It's all my fault.
It's true I had a complex about you, and acted cruel.
And then there was Jae-ha.
I kept calling you childish, but I was even worse.
I was wrong. Please understand me.
Ms.Park, why all of a sudden...
I'm so sorry, Ms. Chu.
I mean, Hae-young.
People can make mistakes.
It wasn't because I didn't like you, honestly.
Please forgive me.
Why are you doing this?
And I...
don't want to quit school.
I've nowhere to go.
Please?
Ms. Chu?
I'm begging you.
Students are watching.
What will they think? Get up.
But why were you so mean to me?
All right, then.
Let's put this in the past.
Thank you, Hae-young... Thanks so much.
I mean, Ms. Chu.
Thanks so much.
Call me by my name.
Can I call you sister?
Sure. Of course!
Sis, don't worry about your contract.
I'll talk to my Dad.
This is great!
Hyo-joo, I want some tea!
I feel sleepy after showering.
I'll sleep after eating what you make.
Wait just a bit!
I wish you were my sister. Eat together, sleep together...
I envied kids who had sisters.
Really?
But Hyo-joo!
I'm really curious about one thing, can I ask?
What?
Did you really love Jae-ha?
No. Right?
I don't need to feel guilty, right?
I may be immature, but he's just a baby.
Next year I'll marry Min-ho and move to Canada.
So dating him was just for fun.
How could you love a baby like that?
It was just nice in bed with him.
But you know what he said?
He said it seemed like...
you really loved him.
That's hilarious!
I'll sleep for 10 minutes.
You want me to grow up quickly, right?
I'm so nervous, I'm shaking.
Do you want me to be your lover?
I'm shaking, teacher.
I miss you. Come see me.
Hello?
Why are you here?
Ms. Chu...
No... Hae-young is my good friend.
Since university.
Where is she?
First, come in.
You hungry?
Let's eat. Though it's a bit early for breakfast.
You liked my cooking.
Where is Hae-young?
I thought you were smart. Don't you know?
She doesn't love you.
What do you mean?
Why is another woman in her home?
You call your teacher "another woman?"
Right...
Not a teacher.
I'm not your teacher.
Jae-ha...
No more lying.
Your feelings were genuine.
We were good together.
We can go back to how things were.
What happened to her!
She deceived you.
If only you hadn't seen us, we'd be happily in love.
No disgusting love with you.
You aren't a teacher or a woman to me.
You're just a devil. A devil.
Hae-young just pities you, she doesn't love you.
And you don't love her either.
Are you any different? Are you?
You just needed a pet.
Someone to come when you called...
A puppy.
Teacher, I did everything you asked.
Aren't you satisfied yet?
You want more?
Even still...
I don't love you.
