5... 4... 3... 2.. 1! Close the gate!
You rascals.. you rascals... If you had woken up just a minute earlier!
I wonder if there's a college scouting runners. I would recommend you.
Reality is harsh. Or cold-hearted.
Jeong, Sun-Hwa.
Lee, Ok-Lim.
Shin, So-Hee.
The results for the mock exams
are as important as a life and death situation for junior
that has one more year left in high school.
Did everyone get theirs? Check your results.
How can this be?
I dropped seven ranks.
You all remember that after this class, we have a teacher-student conference, right?
Don't make a fuss and wait for me outside the office.
Yes, sir.
Is this what teacher-student conference feels like?
I feel very timid...
Unlike the real Lee, Ok-Lim.
Let's see...
It seems that you studied a lot recently... Did your grades improve?
Oh.
They went down a little.
Well, grades don't improve quickly.
Don't feel so pressured.
This is still your first year
and you can always improve next year. -Yes.
Do you have a dream goal?
Umm..
I'm not sure yet.
We'll soon be splitting the classes into liberal arts or sciences courses.
Which one are you going to chose?
I'm not sure yet about that too...
You haven't really thought about it yet, have you?
Yes.
With this...
Going to a 4-year university in Seoul might be a little hard.
Then...
What about a 2-year college?
A 2-year college might be difficult, too.
We should probably get going soon.
I can't show this to my mom.
Me too.
My mom will be very disappointed
when she sees my grades too.
Though, this is something I had surmised.
You took the mock exams right after you broke up with Jin-Woo.
Is Suh, Jeong-Min not human?
That's true Jeong-Min.
Besides, you'll recover from this by the next exams.
"Dear Lord, dear Lord. Please help me live like a human being."
I read it in a book yesterday that this is what they say
in Russian shamanism when you really want something.
Hey, just because we didn't do well on the exam doesn't mean we're not human beings.
It's about a person
that I want to become.
Say it again.

Liberal arts, sciences, career, grades...
Ugh.
I'm getting sleepy from all this thinking.
She's sleeping again.
That's the first she does when opens her book.
What now...
It's your sister. Get up and talk to your sister.
Sis?
Hey. I'm doing fine.
School?
School's.. Well.. Study abroad?! No, thanks! Why don't you- Just concentrate on yourself, sis.
No thanks.
Alright, stay well. Bye!
What do you mean no thanks?
What do you not like?
She suddenly asked me to study abroad with her.
Do you know how much this means to other kids?
Since your sister is already settled there
there is a way for you to study abroad too
with half the amount of fees that we put into her, if you want to.
-Exactly. I don't want to. -And why not?
How can two of us study abroad in our family situation?
Since when did you care about our family situation?
Your sister is getting a scholarship this time.
What about you?
If you want to send someone, send Ha-Leom. Ha-Leom can't go to college.
Ha-Leom, is that true? You can go to a specialized college?
Yes. Well, I could have gone if I had some recognition.
But if I win in the next competition,
I can put that on my record and apply.
That's great news!
Wait, hold on honey.
Tell us specifically what you need to do.
A few days ago
in Metal Engineering class I showed my teacher a robot that I made.
Since then, he recommended me to represent our school
and compete in the robot building competition
If I win, I can get special honors when I apply for college.
But of course,
I have to win first to get anything.
I can either win this or study for the KSATs.
You can start studying for the KSATs now.
They said this may be even better than my KSAT scores.
So, Ha-Leom, have you changed your mind about college?
I didn't want to attend college,
in order to attend another college after.
But I did gain some interest in the computer science field.
See I told you!
I told you that Ha-Leom would go to college. I'm so proud of you my son! What a good boy!
Well, whether you compete or go to college
do your best.
I will support you till the end.
Yes, dad.
Why does it suddenly feel like
I'm the only one who has fallen into despair?
This is why for people who are meant to do things.. are meant for them.
What?
Your sister is going to return from studying abroad and become a pharmacist.
Your brother is going to a special professional school. Do you feel anything?
-How can you eat? -Stop it.. She's going to get an indigestion.
Do you really think me doing this will stop her from eating?
There are only two things she can do well.
Eating and sleeping.
So.. Ha-Leom is really going to college?
Hey, your nose... is bleeding!
Ha-Leom suddenly looks like a shining star.
As if he had become a different person.
-We're going to school! -Ha-Leom! Wait!
Didn't you say you were going to stay late after school to study? Go buy some snacks.
-Aren't you tired? -No, I'm not.
I am definitely the ugly duckling in our family.
