Hey, give me the ball!
Hae Won, can you take this to the gym?
Hey. Who told you to play with the ball indoors?
Guys! There's no end-of-the-day meeting today. We can just go.
Come on, let's go!
Hurry up.
Are you kidding me?
Do you know what she said to me the other day?
Wait a second.
You're Mok Hae Won.
Do you know who I am?
We didn't clean up in here!
- Darn. - Hey.
- Let's hurry. - Darn it!
Wait a second.
You're Mok Hae Won.
You're...
Oh, I'm a bit lost right now. Do you know...
where the village hall is?
You have the wrong place.
Okay. Then where is it?
I'll show you. Come with me.
(Episode 6: Search for the Legend)
Hae Won.
What? Choi Young Hoon asked you out?
- Yes. - So?
What did you say?
Well? Choi Young Hoon is not bad.
His dad is a doctor at Hyecheon City Hospital.
He's even a manager.
You know just about everything, don't you?
Do you know the top three guys at our school?
- Top three? - Yes.
Choi Young Hoon is number three among them.
You just threw your luck out the window.
It didn't really seem like that to me.
Don't you want to know who the top two are?
- No, I don't. - Come on.
You should still know this...
since everyone at our school knows.
First of all, he's one of the top two.
- Lee Jang Woo. - Hello, sir.
He's always the top student with straight-A's...
and he's even the school president.
And his dad is a city councilman.
I see.
Hey, isn't it interesting?
No, not really.
Really? I find it totally interesting.
Well, then. It's time to reveal the number one guy.
He's usually around here all the time.
Oh, over there. There he is.
You idiot.
He's a little scary.
Right? I find him scary too.
But he's number one. His name is Oh Yeong Woo.
Oh, he transferred from Seoul as well.
He became number one as soon as he transferred.
I don't know what his parents do,
but he's so handsome.
Well, anyway. I have a crush on someone else.
Really? Who?
Come on, tell me. Who's your crush?
It's a secret.
Gosh.
Hey, be patient. I'll tell you later on.
Forget it. You don't have to tell me.
- Hey, are you mad at me? - Why would I be?
Hey, Mok Hae Won!
Let's go.
Hey, Mok Hae Won!
Hey, come on.
- What? - What?
- Meet me there. - Why?
- Again? - Yes, for real.
- Just now? - Yes.
I wonder what's up.
Mok Hae Won!
What's going on?
No idea.
- What was that? It happened before. - Yes.
- Bo Yeong, did you do the homework? - No, I didn't. Did you?
- Yes, I... - Mok Hae Won, he wants to see you.
- Who? - Oh Yeong Woo.
- You idiot. - Gosh! Hey!
Oh Yeong Woo? That Oh Yeong Woo?
The most popular guy at our school? Why does he want to see you?
Why?
I don't know either.
- Brace yourself. - Gosh, whatever.
My gosh, this is crazy.
All the way over there.
- Hey, don't butt in. - What?
- Come on. - Let's do it together.
- Give me that. - I bought it.
- Which means, it's mine. - Gosh, hey. Seriously.
Goodness.
- Hey, come on. - Hand it over.
Hey, you came.
- Come down. - What?
Hey, you pig.
- Gosh, stop it. - I want one more.
Get up here.
- This one's better. - Gosh, seriously.
- Hey, give me that. - Darn it.
- My gosh. - Look.
- What's with him now? - The girl from Seoul.
- It's not just one. - I don't want to eat it.
- Aren't you coming? - Seriously.
- Forget it. - You have no shame.
- What's going on? - This is...
- Gosh. - Go away.
Hey.
- Goodness. - Hey, Hae Won!
Hey!
What's going on?
(Hyecheon High School)
Hey, what happened? What did Oh Yeong Woo say?
Well...
Oh, my bus is here. I've got to run. I'll call you!
Bye.
Oh, it's her again.
- Hey! - Come on!
What's he doing?
Wasn't he interested in you?
- Look. - Gosh.
No, he never was.
What are you talking about? He totally was.
He sent his friends to tell you he wants to see you, didn't he?
Let's go.
This is so annoying.
My gosh, that's hilarious.
Come on.
Hey, Eun Seop.
Are you going home now?
Hey, wait for me! Hey!
What's wrong with him?
Eun Seop.
My mom keeps saying she wants me to get married as soon as possible.
I mean, I'm only 18. Does it make sense to you?
I get that she wants a grandkid soon, but still.
She wants me to get married as soon as I enter college.
She said I should have as many kids as possible.
My mom's dying to become a grandma, you know.
I understand all of that, but it's just too much.
I mean, I'm still a teenager.
Don't you think my mom is too much?
Gosh, hey.
What's wrong?
Hey.
Just get going.
Eun Seop.
Hey, this is your bike!
I don't know how to ride a bike.
What do I do?
- All done? - I'm not sure.
Hurry up.
I think it's good now.
Really?
Oh, it works now.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
I guess Yeong Woo is here for the reunion.
Yes.
I feel like many people are in town for that.
Yes, probably.
The bookstore will get busy too.
I know.
- Have a good night. - You too.
- Come on. - What?
Kwon Hyun Ji!
Hey, Hyun Ji.
Hey, I've made up my mind.
About what?
I'm giving up on Kim Young Soo.
Sure, whatever.
Hey, I'm dead serious.
I've actually decided to give up on him.
Why the sudden change of heart?
Yesterday, when the bully was about to beat me up,
he showed up out of nowhere and saved me.
Wouldn't that make you fall for him even more?
Gosh. Hey, my pride is my everything.
- What are you talking about? - Only I...
- can save myself. - Nonsense.
Anyway, help me lift my spirits at the claw machine arcade later.
The claw machine arcade? Come on. Who goes there these days?
You see, outcasts don't follow trends.
(Hyecheon High School 50th Anniversary Joint Reunion)
It's boring to live in the countryside.
From spring and summer to fall and winter,
the same things happen throughout all four seasons.
Right there. My gosh.
You meet the same people.
Is your back hurting again?
- Let me do it for you. - I'm bad at this.
All right. There you go.
- Gosh! - Come on. It didn't even hurt.
Things get lively...
in this small country town twice a year.
Take it only when the pain recurs.
It's around New Year's Day and Thanksgiving.
- Geun Sang! - Hey, you guys!
Those are pretty much the only times...
when people visit this country town.
But it's neither New Year's Day nor Thanksgiving yet.
You're right. Things are feeling quite lively in this little town.
(Hyecheon, Seoul)
It's because the joint reunion...
is just around the corner.
You can take it now.
(Medication Room)
You can't go on like this though.
You should see a doctor and get a proper diagnosis.
You need to find out why you keep getting such bad headaches.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
By the way, are you not going to attend the reunion?
You went to that school too.
Yes, I did.
But I don't plan to attend the reunion.
Why not?
I heard through the grapevine...
that you were quite famous back in school.
I don't want to advertise that the popular girl...
is living like a total loser now.
A reunion isn't for a person like me.
It's for those people.
No matter what their past was like,
at least they're...
successful now.
(From Park Hin Dol, To Shim Myeong Ju)
Why do you have these with you?
She didn't know your address, so she asked me...
to return them to you.
I see.
By any chance,
did she say anything else?
I have something to tell him as well.
- Can you relay the message to him? - No.
I don't think I can do that.
No.
She said nothing else.
Okay.
Well...
She did say she wanted me to deliver a message.
It's not good news, right?
No, it's not.
Well...
I'm sorry, Mr. Park.
You don't have to apologize.
Thanks for delivering the letters.
Well...
See you around.
See you.
I was passing by and saw you.
Can I sit?
(Good Night Bookstore)
("If Only I Could Be Ordinary for Just One Day")
What are you doing here?
Do you live here?
No, I live at Hodu House.
I know.
Can I get some coffee?
Sure.
Are you here to buy books?
No.
Then...
Wait, how do I do this?
Maybe not.
Not this either?
You don't know how to do this, do you?
I'm usually not the one who makes coffee.
Go sit down.
If you're not going to buy any books, why...
Why are you here if you don't live here?
I work here.
So why...
What's this?
My number.
Save it.
I don't have a phone.
What?
I threw it away.
You threw it away?
Yes.
You didn't come here to give me this, did you?
I did.
What?
I came here to give you that.
To give me...
this?
You haven't changed a bit, Hae Won.
What?
I haven't either.
Everything is still the same for me.
What are you talking about?
My feelings.
I'll be going.
Think about it and give me a call.
- Hey! - Stop!
Let's run.
Come on, hurry up.
Eun Seop, what took you so long? We're so busy here.
Do you see how yellow my face is?
Hurry up and park.
Let's go. At 10pm...
Hwi!
Hwi, hurry up and get over here!
Honey, can you help me out?
There are people waiting. Come on.
All right. I'll be right there.
(Good Night Bookstore)
You're back.
How was your day?
Actually, three people came by.
Really?
We should probably thank Jang Woo.
Everyone who came by today was from outside the town.
I had no idea such an event would attract so many people.
I know.
The skating rink was very busy today too.
Go upstairs and get some rest.
I'll finish up here.
Are you hungry?
I'm going home today.
Oh, right.
Thank you for everything.
I'll be going now.
Okay.
Goodnight.
It's dark.
Give it to me.
(Hodu House)
I'll head in now.
Okay. Here.
Thanks.
Bye.
Goodnight.
I'm home.
The bus is here.
(Hyecheon High School Joint Reunion)
They're here.
- Where is he? - Hello.
Hello, sir.
Hello, sweetie.
Welcome.
It's been such a long time.
It's nice to see you.
Wait, sir!
Thank you.
It's right this way.
Let's go.
Mom, please buy me a down jacket!
Come on, Mom.
I need to wear that to look good in the pictures.
Down jacket or whatever it is, not today.
Come on, why not? Seriously.
Since I'm busy today.
It's an important day.
Yes, that's it!
Let's go.
Yes!
Anyhow, why on earth are they holding this event?
Ask Lee Jang Woo. He's the one who planned it.
I don't know what he's intending to do by gathering...
all the old graduates.
You know what?
When we hold a reunion later,
I'm going to dress up so beautifully.
So when Kim Young Soo sees me, he'll go, "Oh, my."
"Lim" as in "limbo", and "Hwi" as in "whistle"? Lim Hwi?
"She looks much prettier now that I look at her."
"I should've been nicer to her back then."
"Shall I go talk to her now?"
And the moment he talks to me,
I'll totally reject him.
I doubt that will happen.
Isn't that what reunions are about?
Meeting your friends from the old days...
and bringing out those lingering emotions.
"Gosh, you're charming." "What? You are too."
"What about that cafe? That place seems nice."
And that is where our cafe comes in.
And then they will open up their wallets.
By the way, did you bring those?
You know, the tablecloths. You didn't forget, did you?
Of course, I brought them. What do you take me for?
Why would I... forget to bring that?
Oh, gosh. I'm doomed.
I need to go back home. Darn.
- Shoot! - Hey!
(Fishing Equipment)
(Big Edu)
Hey, Mom.
Ask Bo Guk to do stuff like that. I have a reunion today.
I'm just going home to get changed.
Bo Guk is bumming around at home. Why are you asking...
Hyecheon High School's joint reunion party...
will be held on the school grounds at 10pm tonight.
Since it's our first joint reunion party,
all the graduates of Hyecheon High School are invited.
I hope you can participate to honor the event.

That way.
You can put that down here.
Hold on. That doesn't go there. Please take it over there.
Okay.
(Hyecheon High School 50th Anniversary Joint Reunion)
Sir, can we check the lights?
Turn them off.
And on.
Okay, good.
"If they arrive at the summit before dusk..."
"and confess their love in the twilight,"

"love could be..."
"much simpler than we think."
"Don't you agree?"

Are you not going to the reunion?
No, I'm not going.
- What about you? - Well, I'm going.
It'll be nice to catch up with my friends...
and see Eun Seop.
All right.
Hey.
How pretty.
I always look pretty.
- I meant your earrings. - What?
And your necklace.
Whatever. See you later.
Okay, see you.
Let's go together.
- Welcome! - Welcome!
- Welcome. - Welcome.
- Welcome! - Welcome, everyone.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
- Welcome. - Hello!
- Hello! - Welcome!
(Hyecheon High School)
- My gosh. - Hello.
- Hey! - Good to see you.
- Ta-da. - Nice. We have glasses now.
What took you so long?
Hey!
I told you not to drink.
But on a special occasion like this...
- Don't drink, okay? - Hey.
Why are you here?
Because I live in this town.
Me too.
- My gosh. - It's been so long.
- Hey. - Long time no see.
My, look who's here.
My gosh! Soon Ae!
It's so good to see you.

- Hi. - Hi.
Testing, testing. Hello.
All graduates of Hyecheon High School,
my dear former classmates,
and the current students who I'm so proud of.
It's nice to meet you all. I'm Lee Jang Woo,
in the 42nd graduating class.
Please gather around.
You'll see that the area over there...
is divided into different sections.
Are you wondering where you should be?
You can go stand wherever you want.
Just mingle...
with your friends and stand wherever you like.
It looks like everyone's here now,
so we'll get started with the reunion.
First and foremost, I'd like to thank you all for attending...
this joint reunion to celebrate the school's 50th anniversary.
This is the first joint reunion event of its kind.
Camping in the Dark Night.
We wanted all of you to feel like you're on a camping trip...
with your friends, so please enjoy...
all the food and catching up with everyone.
Inside the school, there are cafes operated by the students...
as well as a graduation photo exhibition going on,
so take a stroll down memory lane.
And at midnight sharp,
a lights-out ceremony will be carried out...
to welcome you all.
The entire city will turn pitch black, so enjoy the spectacle.
Well, I once heard that...
you can make your wish come true by blowing out a candle in the dark.
If you make a wish in the dark,
it may come true when the lights come back on.
- Gosh. - Oh, please.
- So cheesy. - Cut it out!
I'll take that as a compliment.
Enjoy the night.
Hey, Eun Seop.
Did you see? Oh Yeong Woo is here too.
- Yes. - He came with Hae Won.
Oh, you didn't know?
Well, they haven't seen each other in years.
Does it bother you?
No.
- This is beer, right? - Yes.
I have to say, it's pretty fascinating.
A decade has passed, you know?
Some of the ones we used to call hotshots aren't doing so well now.
And a few of the guys that used to struggle in school back then...
are quite successful now.
- Then the tables should've turned. - Right.
But that's not the case at all. I wonder why.
I guess, no matter how much time has passed...
Get your own beer, you fool.
What? You finished it.
Yeong Woo, come catch up with us.
Goodness.
- I'll be back. - This guy is mean.
- Come on. - What's the matter with you?
Mok Hae Won! Hey.
You look stunning today.
- Gosh, thanks. - Hold on.
You came with Oh Yeong Woo. What's going on?
He came to pick me up.
I have to say, he's so consistent.
I bet he didn't really say anything though.
I think he has a knack for things like that.
"Hey, come with me."
- "Follow me." - Hey, Mok Hae Won!
- My gosh. - It's been so long.
Look at you, Ji Eun Sil.
Hey.
Did you see Jang Woo?
- Lee Jang Woo? - Yes.
Don't even get me started. He annoys me so much.
Look at this.
He's the one that used to chase Eun Sil.
What's wrong with him? Why is he insisting...
that she had a crush on him?
- Gosh. - I don't get it.
- Hey. - Hi.
I guess they still don't like you.
Are they kids or what? What's wrong with them?
They were equally childish back then.
Was it when you were in 11th grade?
Yes.
They hated you like crazy for those two months.
Talk about holding a grudge.
But Bo Yeong keeps saying she wants to clear up a misunderstanding.
She's another consistent one.
Do you want to go for some coffee?
Sure, sounds good.
- Let's go. - Hey, everyone's curious.
They're all still single.
- What's this? - A ghost!
My gosh!
Goodness.
Welcome, come on in!
- Hey. - Good to see you.
Come on in!
Who organized all this?
Lee Jang Woo.
Hey, this is the owner of the lighting store.
He hasn't changed one bit.
My, he already looked old back then.
Hey, I found your aunt.
Shim Myeong Yeo, right?
My gosh, she was so pretty.
Hey, your aunt was so gorgeous.
You're right.
I found Madam Quilt too.
Why is Su Jeong Madam Quilt?
She makes quilts. She sells them to the neighbors sometimes.
Hey, you girls are in deep trouble.
I found our class.
What?
Look. Mok Hae Won.
Min Ji Yeon.
And me. Gosh!
Where's Lee Jang Woo?
He wasn't in our class.
Which class was Eun Seop in?
What?
- What? - He was in our class.
Come on. Show some interest.
Right? I feel so bad for Eun Seop.
He's practically invisible to her.
I thought he was in our class only in 11th grade.
No, he was in our class in 12th grade as well.
Come to think of it,
I don't think he took graduation photos.
He wasn't there that day.
That's what I recall.
Right, he missed school very often in 12th grade.
- Did he? - Yes, he did.
- Ladies! - Gosh!
Come to our cafe and spend some money, please.
- Hey. - Hey, what are you doing here?
Me? I'm trying to make money.
Come on in.
- Spend a lot of money, please. - Gosh.
Hey, you're all grown up now.
- My gosh. - What?
Everyone still looks the same.
Even though a decade has passed.
Hey, you still look the same too.
Right, I'm still handsome.
(Hyecheon Photo Studio, Board Games)
He's getting on your nerves.
- What? - He totally is.
Cut it out.
You're totally bothered by him.
- Do you still have it? - Yes, it's at home.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
What? Where are you going? This is for your table.
It's not free, of course.
I'll be right back.
By the way, is your brother not here?
Eun Seop? I haven't seen him.
Really? Make a lot of money.
- Wait. - I hope all goes well.
What are you doing this weekend?
I had some plans, but...
- Let's drink. - Okay.
She's good.
To be honest, I hate this town.
It brings back weird memories.
Like what?
My scary father.
I came here because of you.
Just to see you again.
I feel honored.
Thank you for acknowledging that.
Actually,
I always hated this town too.
I was an outcast.
To me, this town has always been...
winter.
(No trespassing. Anyone ignoring the sign will be considered delinquent.)
When I was young, I was scared of that sign.
Why is that scary?
It felt like, as soon as I stepped inside that area,
I would become that kind of person.
"That kind of person"?
You're that kind of person.
- Give me that. - I bought it.
A person...
who seems to belong to another world.
"Another world"?
Anyway, you saved me back then.
- I did? - Yes, you did.
Are you going alone?
Let me try.
Why? Why are you going alone?
You know what?
There are flowers that only bloom in the fall.
Let's go.
I didn't know.
I read it in a book.
Some flowers only bloom for a short while in the fall.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Let's sit here.
Let's eat.
Well...
This is the only seat left.
Back then,
I was a dry desert.
Why is he sitting there?
Are they going out?
No way.
- Have you heard anything? - Nothing.
Hae Won, I heard you're going out with Oh Yeong Woo.
I'm not.
Are you guys just friends?
We're not friends.
Well, do you want to go downtown with us later?
You're from Seoul.
I'm sure you have a good sense of style.
I'm in.
Come with us.
Do you want to check out the new tteokbokki place in Bukhyeon-ri?
I love tteokbokki.
Hae Won, do you like tteokbokki?
I do.
- Then let's go there. - I want some sundae too.
Let's do it.
To me, you were...
a flower that only bloomed for a short while in the fall.
Those days were like a desert, but when you showed up...
I didn't know when I saw it from afar,
but when I saw it from up close,
it said, "South Face".
- Did you see it too? - Yes.
- South? - He's a patriot.
As in South Korea?
And do you know what he said to me?
- That's so funny. - I saw it too.
It was really South Face.
I saw it.
"The South Face".
I became a garden.
How was that possible?
We were...
18 back then. Only 18.
That's how it was possible.
The lights-out ceremony with Hyecheon City will begin soon.
Please gather in the school grounds...
to watch the lights-out ceremony.
And like I told you earlier...
if you make a wish when the lights are out...
Who knows? When the lights come back on,
your wish may really come true.
Mok Hae Won.
To tell you the truth...
Regardless of how you feel for me right now,
I don't want to know, and it doesn't matter.
Why doesn't it matter?
Is there someone you like?
Your face tells me there is.
I know a warm person.
A warm person?
Yes.
When I'm next to him,
I feel warm, like a kettle on top of a stove.
He makes you feel that way?
Yes.
To be honest, I didn't even know I was cold.
But I realized it when I came back home.
That...
I was really cold.
Hey, Mok Hae Won!
Come on, it's time for the lights-out ceremony.
You guys can go first.
Okay.
Isn't that Oh Yeong Woo?
I think it is. Isn't it?
Anyway, I really wanted to thank you...
when we met again one day.
Thank you, Yeong Woo.
Sure.
Aren't you going to the lights-out ceremony?
I don't think I'm going.
Really?
Then...
see you.
It's dark.
Come on, let's go.
To be honest, I didn't even know I was cold.
But I realized it when I came back home.
I'm home.
That...
I was really cold.
We have 10 seconds left until the lights-out ceremony.
I'll begin the countdown.
- Ten, - Hae Won.
nine,
eight,
seven,
They're willow leaves.
It's pretty.
It's a pair of shoes.
I want you to stop wearing the ones you have.
Why?
"Why?"
Because you're in the countryside now.
The roads here are rough.
Hae Won.
Should we do something that will make you feel better?
Is...
something...
Two,
one.
Lights out.
I like you.
I like you, Eun Seop.

On top of that, I didn't see him around...
for about three years.
He disappeared.
