00:10There are many important birthdays during one's life.
00:13Your first, then 10, double digits.
00:1613, obviously.
00:1815 or 16, depending on your heritage.
00:20And then the big 1-8.
00:36How was your body scrub?
00:40My almost adult skin is feeling as soft as a newborn baby.
00:44Now, is your glow from your facial,
00:47or because things between you and Juliana
00:49are heating back up after the fashion show?
00:52The facial?
00:54Honestly, I would die of happiness
00:56if we could be more than friends.
00:58But after the way I hurt her last year,
01:01she would have to make the first move.
01:02What about you and Mino?
01:04I don't know.
01:05Even if he wanted to make it work,
01:07how could it if I'm going to NYU?
01:10Anyway...
01:10Do you still have an RSVP to my birthday party invite?
01:13Yeah, about that.
01:17There's no way you're not coming to my 18th birthday party.
01:19I know, I'm sorry.
01:21I already promised Yisu I would house it on Saturday.
01:23But I have an entire itinerary laid out in my journal.
01:26I even found the perfect party dress.
01:27Look.
01:29Camellia pink.
01:31Hmm.
01:32Why camellia?
01:33It was my mom's favorite flower.
01:35Birthdays always make me think of her.
01:37I think she'd like that I'm celebrating with all the friends
01:39who helped me become the person I am.
01:42And you are definitely one of those friends.
01:44Aw, kitty.
01:46I still can't go.
01:47Yuri!
01:48Shhh!
01:49Jaisong Hamida.
01:52Okay, well, Yuri's dead to me.
01:54Kidding.
01:55But, come on.
01:56It's my birthday.
02:01Oh, Day, I'm so glad you're here.
02:02I think that my birthday invite got lost in your spam folder.
02:06You'll be there, right?
02:06I wish I could, but I have a thing at my dad's restaurant.
02:11Yep.
02:13Oh.
02:13But I only turned 18 once.
02:16Sorry.
02:18Should I have sent out save the dates?
02:21Ooh.
02:22Uh-uh-uh.
02:24Those are for Jin.
02:25Hmm.
02:25You're trying to butter him up.
02:27Make him feel badder by showing how much you need him.
02:30That was cute.
02:31I like that.
02:32I've been leaving him treats and gifts to show him how much I care.
02:35Hmm.
02:36Well, I think a demonstration of love beats a declaration of love any day.
02:39Look at you with your soon-to-be adult wisdom.
02:42Speaking of.
02:43So, kitty, I have some bad news.
02:44No.
02:44I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it here.
02:47You are coming to my birthday party.
02:49I can't.
02:50I have a thing for track.
02:53It's a...
02:53It's a track thing.
02:55So...
02:56Hmm.
02:58Please stop looking at me like that.
02:59First, Yuri goes off my party, and then Day.
03:03And now you.
03:05Oh, my God.
03:07Are you throwing me a surprise party?
03:09No one's ever thrown me one before.
03:11Maybe that's because you're always in everyone's business, kitty.
03:14Wait, what's the ruse?
03:15Where are we going?
03:15What should I be wearing?
03:16Because there's this dress that I really...
03:17You already said too much.
03:18And don't go digging for information, okay?
03:20You just have to wait and see what we have planned.
03:24Me.
03:25Wait and see.
03:26Yeah, tall order.
03:27But fine.
03:28I'll play along.
03:39NYU, here I come!
03:40Yay!
03:42Kitty, you have so much to celebrate.
03:44NYU, your 18th birthday.
03:46Sorry to miss your party.
03:48Yeah, we have a thing across town on Saturday, so...
03:51Where across town?
03:54Hongdae?
03:55Chamchil?
03:57Oh, God.
03:57Look at the time.
04:00Is this like a dressy thing that you're going to?
04:03Or does one...
04:04Oh, yeah.
04:12You're so great.
04:15Hi.

07:29Thank you for helping me with Zindo.
07:31I think I can go to college.
07:37I think I can do anything for you, Eunice.
07:42Like...
07:43The night's eight or kitty surprise party?
07:48I thought you'd never ask.
07:53You're okay?
07:54What's the deal?
07:56You sent me a message for 9-1-1.
07:59She was a girl with 9-1-1.
08:04I talked about that.
08:09It's like a baby.
08:11You've heard it?
08:12You know, she's turned off and told me about her.
08:12If someone's older, you're more than a guardian about her.
08:19Well, you had to give her a child to me.
08:24That's not good, Ninty.
08:26I'm good at taking the back of the car.
08:29I haven't even started the music yet.
08:33I can't even say anything to my father.
08:36I don't have to worry about my career.
08:38I don't have to worry about it.
08:54I'll name our baby after you.
08:59I'm so glad we got the chance to celebrate before your big day.
09:02And I'm so glad that Professor Li took the news about the baby well.
09:06He's super happy for us.
09:08But teachers aren't allowed to date.
09:11So one of us might need to leave Kiss.
09:14Actually?
09:15If it comes to it, I'll quit.
09:22Right now, Jiwon and I are just focusing on what's important.
09:25The baby.
09:29Look at that poor woman over there.
09:31She's been rocking her baby this entire time and she hasn't had one bite of food.
09:35How am I supposed to do this?
09:37I don't know anything about being a mother.
09:39No, you're gonna be great.
09:42You know, you could talk to somebody who does know about being a mother.
09:46My harmony would disown me if she knew.
09:49Professor Li is a tough cookie and he came around.
09:52Maybe Ima how many will too.
09:54Please Jiwon, can I call her?
10:00If you like my peanut butter cookies, you'll love these.
10:02You don't have to keep bringing me treats.
10:05But thanks.
10:07Sorry, I have a lot going on right now.
10:11Are you working on your uni apps?
10:13Lee told me my chances aren't great now that I'm not a track star and my resume is basically blank.
10:18I wish there was something I could do.
10:22Well, maybe Kitty's party will be a good distraction.
10:24You're still coming, right?
10:26Yeah.
10:26I can't wait to see the look on her face.
10:46You've got this.
10:49That's it.
10:51I'm a father.
10:54My mother, my mother, I was a father.
10:56Mother, I was born.
11:01Oh, my God.
11:15You may be able to live within the world.
11:18You could go off your life.
11:21What did you live in, man?
11:31You wanna go to a child.
11:33I was born and married.
11:36It's so good that I am.
11:37I'm only a girl who loves me.
11:40But it's not that bad.
11:41Oh, so...
11:43That's right.
11:44Now it's not for me.
11:46It's not for me.
11:49Mother.
11:55It's the most important thing to me.
11:59Yes?
12:01We are the captain of the matchmaker.
12:04June is a perfect couple of years.
12:09Alex is very well-known to 지원.
12:12As a mother, she is very well-known to her.
12:19Oh, she's so good.
12:25She's so good.
12:26She's so good.
12:30I love you.
12:36I love you.
12:38And I love you.
12:41I love you.
13:11I hate being in the dark.
13:13But I guess I'm pretty flattered that my friends are trying so hard to throw me off the scent.
13:18And it's actually working.
13:20Just hang in there a little longer, kitty.
13:27Hello.
13:29Happy birthday, kitty.
13:32You're up early.
13:33My boss just emailed and she loves the book.
13:36Of course she does.
13:38Wait, that's amazing.
13:39So I have that dedication page, like, on lock, right?
13:43Because that would be a pretty sick birthday present.
13:46If I ever get published, I'm going to dedicate the first book to Mom.
13:50But you get the sequel.
13:51Yes, I've edged out Margo.
13:54I'm so proud of you, sister.
13:57Oh, that reminds me.
13:59Peter says hi.
14:01Wait, what?
14:02Peter and I have some news.
14:04What is it?
14:05Obviously there's a lot of things that we have to figure out, but we are going to make it work.
14:08Love is worth the risk, right?
14:11This is the best news ever.
14:14I love you so much.
14:15I hope you have an amazing birthday and I'll talk to you soon.
14:18Love you too.
14:19Bye.
14:20Call it a matchmaker's intuition, but I knew Peter and Lara Jean would find their way back to each other.
14:25Even if they had to go the long way.
14:27Best gift ever.
14:31Okay, how about?
14:32Yeah.
14:33Okay, pretty good.
14:34I think we could sell it a bit more if we added some chalk.
14:37Like, almost dead.
14:43I'm sorry that I couldn't be more chill about my surprise party.
14:46I just thought that if I knew what I was going into, I could let go of the one that
14:50I wrote in my sunset list.
14:53I mean, it's not like you haven't crossed off a bunch of other things on that list, right?
14:56Yeah, but none of them really went the way I imagined.
15:00Like, when I pictured talking to emo Halmuni in Korean, I never thought I'd be hard-selling Alex as Jiwon's
15:05baby daddy.
15:07Or when I defined my relationship with Mino, I never thought we would do that just to break up.
15:18I know you're bummed, but tonight's not about him. It's about you.
15:25You're right.
15:27And thank you for whatever diabolical plan you have in store for me.
15:32Mwah.
15:32Mwah.
15:37Mwah.
15:44Mwah.
15:45to cry, losing self-control every time.
15:52Happy birthday!
15:57This is incredible.
15:59Wait, so all of the clues?
16:01They were lies?
16:03More like misdirections.
16:06Well, you gave us no choice.
16:10You came?
16:11We all decided the only way to surprise you is to keep you guessing.
16:19It's called a kitty-teenies.
16:21My very own mocktail.
16:27Are these camellias?
16:30I mean, I brought them in.
16:37Now go change.
16:39My dress!
16:41Thank you!
16:42Thank you, everybody.
16:45This is amazing.
16:50Yo.
16:52Good job keeping kitty in the dark, right?
16:55That girl's like a human lie detector.
16:58Hey, so, are you still planning on interning for your dad next semester?
17:03Nah.
17:03I mean, don't get me wrong, I would look delectable in pinstripes, but I'd much rather just enjoy my last
17:09semester of high school. Why?
17:12I might need a favour.
17:13Wanna take me for a ride?
17:17Do you got more than meets the eye?
17:21Well, baby, come and take a seat.
17:23Need you to inspire me.
17:25I'm only giving you one try.
17:29Ready, set, go.
17:31So hot like summertime, I can make you melt.
17:34One look, you're hypnotized, baby, I can tell.
17:38I'm running through your mind.
17:40So catch me if you can.
17:46X3, though they miss me, they can't kiss me.
17:48They're my mother, no.
17:49They're my mother, no.
17:50They're my mother, no.
17:51XO, XO, XO, XO, XO, XO, XO, XO.
17:54Okay, time for gifts!
17:55Yes!
17:56Happy birthday, kitty.
17:59A lock?
18:00Because we first met at Namsan Tower,
18:03and I hope our friendship lasts forever.
18:08I love it.
18:09Okay, mine.
18:13So I'm launching my new line with the dress you wore at the fashion show,
18:17and this label's gonna be on it.
18:19Here are you.
18:26Aw.
18:27Aw, cupcakes.
18:28It's to remember the first night we met,
18:30when you absolutely demolished that cupcake tower.
18:34Because you're the sweetest and messiest person I know.
18:38What's the point of these gifts to make me cry?
18:41Well, we each wanted to get you something to show how much you mean to us.
18:45Yeah, it was Minho's idea.
18:47That's so thoughtful.
18:50Thank you, guys.
18:52Most people keep repeating
18:54You will never fall in love
18:57And everybody keeps retreating
19:00But you can't seem to gain enough
19:03Let my love open it up
19:05To your heart
19:14Damn.
19:15Future CEO Jen really works.
19:18Thanks.
19:19If only it were that easy.
19:23Well...
19:24Do you have any plans?
19:26Thursday?
19:264pm?
19:27Can you stop?
19:28It's not a date.
19:29It's an interview.
19:30With...
19:31Marius' dad.
19:32For an internship next semester.
19:34His...
19:35Company has a branch in Seoul.
19:37I don't wanna owe Marius anything.
19:39You won't.
19:40Look, Marius really wants to make things right with you.
19:44And...
19:45So do I.
19:47I've actually been reaching out to a few companies owned by former KISS alums.
19:51So...
19:52While I appreciate the help...
19:54I wanna do this on my own.
19:56Of course.
19:58Jin, I only did this because...
20:01I love you.
20:03And I know there's nothing I can say to prove it.
20:07But maybe I can show you.
20:10And I'll keep showing you.
20:12However long it takes for you to believe me.
20:16Part of me wants to make you grovel.
20:19Like...
20:20Forever.
20:23But...
20:25I love you too.
20:27I wanna trust you again.
20:29Especially since we only have one semester left together.
20:35Together?
20:45With every mess we made.
20:49But all of it still means nothing if I can't take you.
20:56What are you doing up here?
20:59Just thinking about how crazy this year's been.
21:02All the changes.
21:06It's been quite the journey.
21:10Well, I'm really impressed with how far you've come.
21:14And...
21:16I'm glad you're getting a second chance.
21:22I also...
21:23Really love this song.
21:28But I think it would be better if you danced with me.
21:34I would love to.
21:42Let's get these lessons.
21:44Don't use them so reckless.
21:46Cause for you I'm helpless.
21:50You gotta take caution.
21:52You know that I'm all in.
21:55The chance of me falling.
21:58You know that it's soft then.
22:02But if you don't wanna stay...
22:05So...
22:07How does it feel to be atheist?
22:09I feel very wise.
22:13Well, would wise old Covey like to dance?
22:17It's what you want.
22:20Not just what you do.
22:23You're starting up a well fire in my head.
22:28Hope it's what you mean.
22:31So let me get this straight.
22:33The theme gifts were your idea.
22:37And the camellias.
22:40And here I totally bought your lie about going to L.A. for winter break.
22:44Kitty, I wasn't lying.
22:47I did have a ticket booked to L.A.
22:50But I decided...
22:53I'd rather be here.
22:57Can I ask you something?
23:00Yeah.
23:03When you applied Early Decision to NYU...
23:08How did you know it was the right path for you?
23:13Oh, um...
23:14Well, I kinda fell in love with it this summer.
23:17And...
23:18I really love my life in Seoul.
23:21But...
23:22When we...
23:23Weren't together...
23:25It gave me a chance to really think about what I want.
23:29For myself.
23:31And I...
23:32Realized it was NYU.
23:35So I decided to just go for it.
23:39Why?
23:43SOS 9-1-1 is firing my dad.
23:46They want me to be their manager.
23:48You know, that's huge.
23:51Yes, but...
23:52I'd have to miss quite a bit of school next time.
23:58Well, are you gonna take the job?
24:01Honestly, I'm not sure.
24:07What do you think I should do?
24:14Happy birthday, Kavi.
24:20I'm not a person that lets go of control easily.
24:22I like taking the wheel.
24:24And I like knowing where I'm going.
24:26But I learned something on my 18th birthday.
24:28If you're surrounded by the people you love,
24:30you can always trust them to get you exactly where you need to go.
24:34Woo!
24:35Woo!
24:36Woo!
24:37Woo!
24:52As quickly as it came, the semester's over.
24:55I'm halfway to graduation.
24:57Halfway to goodbye.
24:59I had so many expectations coming into my senior year.
25:02I even wrote them all down in a list.
25:04I wanted it to be perfect.
25:08It wasn't.
25:09It was messy.
25:11Sometimes it hurt.
25:14But it was beautiful, and I wouldn't change a thing.
25:19Even the surprises.
25:21There may even be more to come, and I'm okay with that.
25:32Then you just had to remember that the dark won't last forever.
25:39I'm always yours.
25:49Yeah, it's good.
25:53I think it's good.
25:54Thank you so much.
25:58I said to you finally sing to you.
26:01Really?
26:02What did you say?
26:04Well, my father's been living forever.
26:09I don't think so.
26:11I think I want to live forever.
26:14I think I want to live forever.
26:16I think I want to live forever.
26:21I think you can do it.
26:24I think so.
26:26I think so.
26:28I think so.
26:31You are going to live forever.
26:34You're the one who wants to live forever.
26:39I've been living so much for the people who want us.
26:44I want to live while I'm doing what I like.
26:53Let's go.
26:59Fighting!
27:04Hey, it's Kitty here.
27:05She already left for a break.
27:07You just missed her.
27:07But she's taking the subway to the airport so you can probably still catch her.

28:18We've been running circles, running, doing figure eights, worried I've been stressing
28:24about you, you've been on my brain, I need you to let me know if you feel the same, cause
28:30I recognize that we might be running out of time, but in your eyes I've always known
28:40when something isn't right, don't make me bow out and say I didn't try, so before
28:50you say it, so goodbye, let me tell you right, the sun doesn't rise without you, the moon
29:01won't hold the night, the rain wouldn't stop burning down, no, the clouds they will always
29:10cry, can't take it anymore, living in this space between, time will never make it right,
29:19cause the sun doesn't rise without you, by my side, by my side
29:35What can I do, you've chosen your place, if it's what you are then I will give you your space,
29:42but my future feels so dark, without the one I can't replace, so before you say heck
29:53so goodbye, let me tell you why, the sun doesn't rise without you, the moon wouldn't hold the night,
30:05the rain wouldn't stop burning down, no, the clouds they will always cry, can't take it anymore, living in this
30:16space between, time will never make it right,
30:21cause the sun doesn't rise without you, by my side, I heard your song, it's incredible,
30:35I'm so sorry, that it took me so long to sort myself out, Kavir, I don't want to stand in
30:42the way of your future,
