00:01I love you guys.

00:55I love you guys.

01:00Yes.

01:01KMO?

01:02What's that?

01:04Beats me.

01:05How was it?

01:08It was not that difficult.

01:10Why does he just say some names and only talks to them?

01:13Are they like best friends?

01:15Hmm.

01:15Oharine.

01:17Here.

01:18Chiyumi.

01:19Here.

01:21Yoiju.

01:22Here.

01:28Yoiju.

01:30Here.

01:32Yoiju.

01:33Here.

01:38Here.

01:40Chikuya.

01:40Here.

01:42Chichia.

01:47Chichia?

01:49Yeah.

01:58I'll be your homeroom teacher as of today.

02:01My name is Kawusu.

02:12Math is a discipline with no falsehood.

02:15Euclid's element begins with a point is that which has no part.

02:20Beautiful, isn't it?

02:24Points come together to form lines which extend to create planes.

02:28Planes bound together to build solids.

02:30And solids exist in time and space.

02:33In short, mathematics is the language that explains the very existence of the universe.

02:40Thus learning about the universe you were born into.

02:47I see all of you as stars in the universe.

02:50Each shining brightly with a world of your own.

02:54When a star is born, a massive cloud of dust surrounds it, blinding everything in sight.

03:00That's why people say,

03:02Stars are born out of chaos.

03:07And so will you be born.

03:10What you like, what you hate, what your talent is, what you truly want.

03:14Some of you may have already found a path through the chaos.

03:17But if you're not sure yet,

03:19I hope that this year will be your time to find those answers.

03:26I'll be there to help you find your path.

03:31I'll also encourage you to take the last step on your own.

03:38What the heck?

03:39Was all that star and universe talk just to say that?

03:42Look at that math nerd.

03:44Wow, he's so full of himself.

03:47Yoiju.

03:49Yes?

03:50What was your math score for the September mock exam?

03:53Why is he suddenly asking about my score?

03:58I can't hear you.

04:01Uh, four.

04:03Four?

04:05Four points!

04:13Four points, huh?

04:18A four in math.

04:25You might as well start over from the first grade.

04:35Follow me to the teacher's office.

04:38Dismissed!

05:07Sir!

05:08Sir!

05:10I swear, I didn't take any videos of you.

05:13Look.

05:15Here.

05:16This is...

05:17This is the video folder.

05:19And look.

05:19At the recently deleted folder.

05:21See?

05:22There's nothing.

05:24Right?

05:30Is it something else?

05:34Oh, is it because I came in after you to class this morning?

05:40If not...

05:41Look at that math nerd.

05:43Wow, he's so full of himself.

05:45If you perhaps heard what I said earlier, Mr. Gah, I wasn't thinking straight.

05:49And it's all because of the cracked screen on my phone.

05:57I'm really sorry, I wasn't thinking, I can't believe I said that.

06:00That's not it.

06:01How on earth did you get a four?

06:13I don't even want to open a math book.

06:17It's hard and boring.

06:18I don't get the point of studying it.

06:20I don't like it.

06:22It's hard and boring.

06:25And you don't like it?

06:27Right.

06:31What is math?

06:34Math is...

06:36Math is math.

06:38How can you be so sure that you hate math when you don't even know what it is?

06:42Mathematics came from philosophy.

06:44What's philosophy?

06:46It's about thinking accurately.

06:49Thinking.

06:50Have you thought about why mathematicians prove everything through logic?

06:52Why numbers are the root of all existence?

06:55Nope.

06:56See?

06:57And you say you don't like it.

07:01You will write a letter to Euclid reflecting on what you don't know and where math comes from.

07:08It has to be 20 pages long and ready by day's end tomorrow.

07:1220 pages?

07:13I'm Chechian.

07:15Mr. Gough.

07:21All right.

07:38What's your next class?

07:43Hello.

07:44Hello.

07:48Let me apologize on Mr. Kha's behalf for this morning.

07:52He can be really cranky sometimes, you see.

07:55He's immature and childish at times.

07:58But he is truly a good person at heart.

08:00Eh.

08:02Right.

08:03That's not it at all.

08:04He's totally messing with you.

08:06You really don't have to defend him like that, Mr. Yun.

08:10Oh, Mr. Yun.

08:11I...

08:11Oh.

08:12It was nice seeing you today.

08:21He's a total angel.

08:23Oh.

08:24How did he end up with a demon like him?

08:34Ji-ya.

08:38Che-ji-ya.

08:40Hey, wake up.

08:42Come on and wake up.

08:49Mr. Kha's calling you.

08:59So?

09:02He wants me to write a paper.

09:0420 pages.

09:06For what you said?

09:07No.

09:08Because I got a four in math.

09:16Why were you late?

09:18Did you sleep in or was there a reason you didn't feel like coming?

09:25Coming to school on time is also a promise, don't you think?

09:33Please don't be late again.

09:34But if you happen to be late, let me know why, okay?

09:37Yes.

09:38Dismissed.

09:48That girl's in your class?

09:50With kids from shelters, all you can hope for is that they stay out of trouble and graduate.

09:55Don't waste your energy trying to lay down the law and just keep it smooth and easy.

09:58That's going to be for the best.

10:00For everyone, really.

10:06Our hall is a sanctuary of love.

10:09Steeped in ancient customs.

10:11Son, close your crystal eyes like a doe.

10:15I shall comb my tangled hair like a lion.

10:18From now on, when I'm with you, Dongju, I'm going to be that girl from way back when.

10:23The one we all loved.

10:25Keep us in the dark.

10:35You need to place your hands a bit lower, okay?

10:37Weiju.

10:38You can do it!

10:40Sorry.

10:47Give her a hand.

10:47I hope that we get along.

10:50All right.

10:51Mr. No, you look like Lucille of Elves.

10:58An agent picked me off the street when I was younger.

11:01Didn't I tell you this story?

11:03Tell us, Mr. No!

11:04Tell us, Mr. No!

11:07So what happened was, it leads to this.

11:13Now, X minus Y is not zero, right?

11:15And Y minus Z isn't zero either.

11:17Plug them in.

11:21Two, one, plug.

11:26So annoying.

11:27Since X is the maximum value.

11:37Good job today.

11:38Thank you!

11:41Where's Chachiyah?

11:49She always skips the end of the day and goes straight home after the last class.

11:57Cleaning duties start with Yoiju and two others.

11:59Why?

12:00Cleaning duties start from the first name.

12:02Thank you!

12:07Why did I have to tell him what I said?

12:13Hey, it hurts.

12:14Be gentle.

12:15Ouch.

12:16How nervous were you to get this stiff?

12:25There.

12:30It nearly killed me in the middle of writing on the board.

12:32My arm suddenly felt so new.

12:36And your stomach?

12:37Feeling better?

12:38Yes.

12:39Oh, boy.

12:40How were your classes today?

12:42Don't get me started.

12:43I'm dying to go home.

12:44That feels good.

12:46No, the other arm is okay.

12:48I'm just touching you.

12:50Because you're soft and squishy.

12:54Oh, you're soft and squishy.

12:57The girls are more fearless than boys, don't you think?

13:00My point exactly.

13:01They stared at me so much that I didn't know where to look at all.

13:05And I ended up going blank.

13:07Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

13:09The great Yun Dong-joo.

13:10Shivering in front of his students?

13:12Oh, man.

13:13They'd be so shocked if they heard this.

13:14Get off of me!

13:16Oh, dang.

13:19Why didn't I come up with those lines?

13:21You're soft and squishy.

13:23Because you're soft and squishy!

13:29Mind your own business.

13:32Oh!

13:33Oh, uh...

13:35Oh.

13:37Oh.

13:38You're so perverted, Yoiju.

13:46Hi.

13:47Oh, hey.

13:49Is it that bad?

13:50It's not that bad.

13:51I'm sorry I asked so suddenly.

13:52No worries.

13:54Want to try this medicine?

13:56It's from my mom.

13:57It works quite well.

13:58Oh, thank you so much.

14:00I'll do the shift here on Thursday.

14:02It's all right.

14:02I can do it, too.

14:03I have things to do anyway.

14:05Oh, I see.

14:06I'll be off then.

14:08Bye.

14:26Lucky them.

14:27When will I get to be ranked this high?

14:32I woke up as a secretary.

14:34Came back as an evil slave.

14:36Is the regression genre still trending?

14:38Oh, I tried something similar once.

14:41But it was a total failure, though.

14:44Should I just make it a sad story with a tragic ending?

14:47Obsession and terminal illness?

14:49I've tried every scenario already.

14:55Or...

14:55Because you're soft and squishy.

15:03What if they were friends from childhood?

15:07I'm bored.

15:12I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored.

15:16You're annoying.

15:19Stop it.

15:21You're annoying.

15:22This pen is annoying.

15:31No way.

15:32No way.

15:33They're my teachers.

15:34I shouldn't drag them into this.

15:36No way.

15:37No, no, no, no.

15:39This one, please.

15:46Just a moment.

16:05Hey, wake him up.

16:07It's too loud.

16:09Don't alarm, this is.

16:10Wake him up.

16:12Oh, okay.

16:22What's wrong with them?

16:25Daju.

16:27No, Daju.

16:28Huh?

16:29Wake up, come on.

16:30Oh, okay.

16:32Come eat some toast while it's warm.

16:33Oh.

16:34Is it crispy?

16:35Hurry up.

16:40Your alarm is like a siren.

16:43Lower the volume.

16:44It's so loud.

16:45Every morning.

16:47It's not crispy.

16:49It's not crispy enough.

16:50It's got to be crispier.

16:51Give me.

16:52Noise pollution every morning.

16:55Have you no respect?

16:56Respecting others is common sense.

16:59Am I not allowed to use my alarm in my own house?

17:03Attention, tenants.

17:04You're making things very difficult for me right now.

17:10I deserve some more respect here.

17:13Isn't that why you have the biggest room in the house?

17:15He calls us tenants whenever he's unhappy.

17:18That's cheap.

17:19Don't you see it?

17:20I'm off.

17:20Did you just call me cheap?

17:23Finish it.

17:24You carpool with me every morning, right?

17:26Pay for it then.

17:27What are you saying?

17:28Hey, it's just because my car is in the shop.

17:30Guys, we're leaving in 10 minutes.

17:32Eat fast.

17:32It's 30K.

17:35What do the green mountain and the sea signify in this poem?

17:40They're literally a mountain and a sea.

17:42But in this context, they represent the speaker's utopia.

17:50Now, we also have the night in the fourth stanza and a stone in the fifth.

17:56If you look at the second stanza...

17:57Dependent personality, a bit of a pushover, and doe-eyed.

18:04These are common daily words, but each of them symbolizes a different meaning in this poem.

18:11That's all for today.

18:11Good job.

18:12Class dismissed.

18:15Learn from me, little girl.

18:19Hello.

18:23Excuse me, Mr. Yun.

18:26Yeah?

18:27Here.

18:28This is a chalk holder.

18:30You might get chalk on your hands without one, because our school still uses chalkboards.

19:00Goya, right?

19:05Thanks for this.

19:17What the...

19:19What's wrong?

19:21I'm up against a formidable opponent.

19:26He's a first snow.

19:29And a blizzard.

19:41Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

19:43Oh, my God.

19:44Come on.

19:45Let's go again.

19:47Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

19:50No, I want...

19:59Old school tough guy.

20:01Strong.

20:01And he goes for it.

20:04Cold on the outside, but a softie for his guy and kind of obsessive, too.

20:10Hi.

20:11Hello.

20:12Hello, everyone.

20:14Today, we'll be doing long-distance running for your test.

20:18Five laps.

20:19The sooner you finish, the sooner you rest.

20:22Line up in groups of 12.

20:23Okay.

20:25Go, go.

20:25Ready.

20:26Come on.

20:27Come on.

20:28Come on.

20:30Come on.

21:02I'm just touching you.

21:05Because you're soft and squishy.

21:11What are you doing, Weiju?

21:13Run.

21:13I know you can do it.

21:14Run faster.

21:15Faster.

21:16Go.

21:17Faster.

21:18Go faster.

21:19Go.

21:19Come on.

21:20Come on.

21:20Faster.

21:26Come on.

21:28Come on.

21:29Faster.

21:30Come on.

21:31Come on.

21:33Work it, baby.

21:34Work it, baby.

21:36And baby, baby.

21:37And baby, baby.

21:44Stop it, Weiju.

21:45This is enough stop.

21:46Stop.

21:48I said you can get free of me, too.

21:51Just ready, Jessica.

21:54Yeah.

21:54No, no, no, no, no.

21:56I said I was not playing.

21:57Play of me, gotta actin'.

21:59I'm not a color.

22:20Who ever wins? I don't care!

22:24Are you okay?

22:25Come on, come on! Go faster! Go faster!

22:30You okay or what?

22:34Yes, I'm okay.

22:38Were you an athlete?

22:42Nope.

22:46Want to try after-school PE?

22:48It's at 5 p.m. and it's every Wednesday.

22:50We focus on the fitness test.

22:52You should give it a try.

22:57You've got potential.

23:03Mr. John, let me go wash my face.

23:14All right, okay.

23:24This is nuts.

23:25This is nuts.

23:26Why is my heart racing right now?

23:30No way.

23:32You've got potential.

23:35It can't be.

23:36It can't be!

23:37My heart races even for a hero in a novel.

23:40Yeah.

23:42That's just it.

24:04There are no obstacles between the two of them.

24:08I guess I do need a second lead to shake things up.

24:13The foreign-educated Han Jimin as a second lead?

24:17Nah, that won't work.

24:19He's too shallow.

24:24He can be really cranky sometimes, you see.

24:27He's immature and childish at times.

24:29But he is truly good at heart.

24:32You better not spread what you filmed today or I'll teach you what it means to regret doing something.

24:40Regretful?

24:43A guy who acts like a jerk then regrets it later?

24:47That's totally math.

24:48An arrogant math genius who turns down all those offers from Ivy League universities.

24:56But why would he do that?

24:58To go to college with his friend who studies Korean Lit?

25:00He acts like a jerk but secretly he's in love?

25:03Huh?

25:04So the story will go.

25:06Korean Lit has had a crush on math since childhood.

25:10Always drawn to that bad boy charm.

25:13Meanwhile, PE watched him from the sidelines longing for him.

25:16Math didn't know Korean Lit's worth and treated him badly only to realize his true feelings far too late.

25:22My goodness, he's so in denial that he tries to avoid Korean Lit.

25:27But PE returns as a possessive guy and math clings to Korean Lit in tears as a regretful guy.

25:38This is insane.

25:39This chemistry is insane.

25:41This ship is going to sail.

26:01Are you an idiot?

26:03Huh?

26:07What do you even see in that prick who treats you like trash?

26:11He can be cranky sometimes, you see.

26:14He's immature and childish at times.

26:16But he's really good at heart.

26:19He's not mean to me on purpose, so don't take it personally.

26:28That punk is just using you.

26:31Because he knows that you have a kind heart.

26:37It doesn't matter.

26:40Still, you're the only one who worries about me.

26:44You're indeed a good friend of mine.

26:47A friend.

26:50My very best friend.

26:53I feel angry.

26:56Your words sound like you're telling me to stay away.

27:05Huh.

27:09What about you, Xion?

27:12What is he to you?

27:19Xion is...

27:26What the heck?

27:27Why am I writing so well?

27:30This is inappropriate.

27:31I mean, they're my teachers.

27:34Actually.

27:35No way.

27:37I changed all the names in the novel.

27:38Nobody will catch on to who they are, right?

27:42I've never had words flow out of me so smoothly about characters before.

27:49Still, this is wrong, Weiju.

27:52What if you get caught later?

27:53Are you okay?

28:18Oh, this is too well written.

28:27Hey, Yoon.

28:45What are you doing here?

28:47You ready to take that discreet math lecture?

28:49Let's go.

28:52Let's go.

28:53Let's go.

28:54Let's go.

28:57Let's go.

29:14Let's go.

29:26Let's go.

29:44Let's go.

29:45Let's go.

29:49What are you doing?

29:53Let's go.

29:54Let's go.

29:55Let's go.

30:39Let's go.

30:40Let's go.

30:46How can I try myself?

31:40How can I try myself?
