Chapter 5 - The Tail Of Twins

Episode: 5

Being called "a genius" is nice. It is, but it's burdensome. At first, I couldn't even float properly. I couldn't make it across the pool in one go. I got angry watching my friends' backs ahead of me so I started coming in an hour earlier and leaving two hours later. I decided never to see someone else's back again. Will people be disappointed if I'm not a genius? Excuse me? What's important to me? Swimming isn't everything. My father and... I was frustrated, so I worked really hard to get my memory back, but I shouldn't have. I think I'll really miss the days when I didn't remember anything. Bye! Ian. Goodbye. I'll regret it. I won't regret it. I'll regret it. I won't regret it. I'll regret it. I won't regret it. Eunbyeol, I need to tell you something. Come out for a bit. One, two, three. Okay, now go forward. I'm letting go. No, don't let go! (The high school male 400 m freestyle) Eunbyeol, I need to tell you something. Come out for a bit. Did you leave the medal here? Yes. I had promised to give it to you though you probably don't remember that. Thanks. Eunbyeol, Merry Christmas. From Ian. Quiet! Everyone sit down! We have a new transfer student. Everything will be strange to her, so help her out until she gets adjusted. Come in. Fantastic! Introduce yourself. I'm Gang Soyeong. I came from Tongyeong's Nuri Girls High School. - Tongyeong. / - We were there. I hope we can get along. It's nice to meet... What's wrong? Nice to meet you. Welcome. May I sit here? Sure. Sit. We went to Tongyeong recently on a school trip. Really? Have you always lived there? Yes. My dad was transferred to the Prosecutors' Office in Seoul. He's a prosecutor? Wow, that's so cool. Ian! Have this while you train. Thanks. Ian, are you going to training? - Snack time. / - Nice! Isn't he a swimmer? Yes, he is. You guys must be very close. Who? Eunbyeol and Ian? They've been friends since they were eight. I need to use the restroom. Don't you remember me? I don't... remember you. You know... in Tongyeong. At the hospital. I did something wrong. You don't remember? Then I'll make you remember. Ouch! What are you doing? Let go! Let go. Let go! How dare you touch my daughter? Stay right there. I'm calling the police. I... I'm sorry. I must have mistaken her for someone else. So that was you. Sorry about that day. I had a friend that I didn't get along with and I mistook you for her. A friend? You do that to a friend just because you didn't get along? I had my reasons. Don't get me wrong and let's get along, okay? - Got it? / - Yes. You know the national diagnostic exam is coming up. - Gosh. / - Great. Memorizing the EBS English Answer Book won't cut it anymore, got it? Work on English vocabulary whenever you have time! Yes! You forget to bring your homework to school, but you always remember to put your make-up on, right? Your skin will rot from all that. What are you doing? I wasn't the one who got beaten up so I wanted to just give you demerit points. But for the sake of peace in our class, I decided to give you a special penalty. Clean. Now. Hey, hey. Come here. Look at each other. The point of this punishment isn't cleaning. Don't look away and match each other's movements. Clean. Hey! What is your problem? Mr. Kim. Hey, Taegwang. What are you doing? I know, right? Why am I doing this? Come home right after class. If you're in such a rush, you should've waited for me. If it's infinity over infinity, what can you use? L'Hopital's Rule. Right! L'Hopital's Rule. So, let's solve this. In L'Hopital's Rule, when limit x approaches two, what if you differentiate the denominator? - One. / - Right. If you differentiate the numerator, it becomes f(2) - 2f'(x). What you have to note here is... Either switch over to the arts or get her proper consulting. Consulting? She's only a junior. Honey, you should pay more attention to her, not only focus on keeping yourself in shape. Getting consulting as a senior is like waiting until you have stage four cancer to see a doctor. Even a great doctor can't do much for you then. Even a great admission specialist can't help you much. If I get Sijin consulting, can she really get into Hanguk University? Some patients are cured after one treatment, and some need continuous treatment. You're lucky you met me before it is too late. Hey. - Did it go well? / - Yes. So you're Minjun. Yes, hello. But... I'm Sijin's mom. You know Sijin, right? - Lee Sijin? / - Yes. Sijin, come here. Say hi. She's Minjun's mother. Hello. Hi. You look like such a good girl. You must look like your dad. Your admissions have been taken care of. Hey. I really want to be alone today. Hey, Outcast. Enjoy your lunch. Jeong Suin? What? A library book number? Is this not it? - You think I'll do well? / - I'm so happy for you. You're so good. Hey, Eunbyeol. I got a callback for the uniform model audition. Congratulations, Songju. Maybe you'll really become a star. Do you want my autograph in advance? It's Lee Sijin. Lee Sijin. This is your seat, right? Sorry. Thanks. Would you give me a tour of the school during lunch? What? Are you kidding? She still gets lost at school. What do you mean? Eunbyeol was in an accident during the school trip, so she lost her memory. In Tongyeong? Oh no. What do you mean? She's totally fine. Right, Eunbyeol? You'll come back, right? Yes. Transfer student. Come here. I was worried I'd have to eat by myself. Thanks. Have some water. Of course, you eat alone. Do you need someone to feed you? Don't mind him. You've been friends since you were eight? Yes. You must be very close. Wow, Ian is such a nice guy. With this rude brat? Rude brat? But you really look alike. Eunbyeol? With who? Somebody. She was in my class in Tongyeong. How much does she look like her? She doesn't just look like her, it's identical. It's like she came back from the dead. That's ridiculous. This is so frustrating. Do you want me to send you a picture? I'll call you back. You must have been feeling bad. About what? I mean, you were friends for 10 years, but she didn't even remember your name. You must have been very close. Well, that's just what I assume. Of course. That's why I hit Eunbyeol 10 times a day. Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. It's okay. Your name is Gang Soyeong, right? You're quick, so you'll adjust here in no time. Later. Are you okay? Taegwang, what did you do now? She was taking a picture. I'm better looking than they are. A picture? Were you secretly trying to take a picture of us? I'm sorry. You guys looked so nice hanging out together. But taking pictures without permission isn't right. This face is really expensive now, you know. Taegwang, take one of us. Go on. Come here. If you turn it into a selfie, you're dead. I don't want to be in it. I'm heading back first. What's wrong? Hey, Eunbyeol! That's more like it. That's more like the rude brat. I thought she was acting weird. Move. I heard from your father. Did you decide to go study abroad? Did you really agree to it? If that's what my father wants, that's what I have to do. You know there is a two-week waiting period for a withdrawal request, right? I don't really care. Let go. Aren't you the swimmer Han Ian? I'm Lee Sangyun of K Agency. I see. This is a famous advertisement agency. I know you refused, but please reconsider. We can't find a rising star athlete who is as popular as you. I'm sorry, but I have an important competition in May. I need to focus on training. I see. Please call me if you change your mind. Sure. No time? You can go when you don't have training. That's just not my thing. What are you doing? Are you sleeping? - What are you doing here? / - What? Why? What? Hey. What? I'm hungry. Let's go. How's my gold medal doing? Good. But what was the promise? To give you my first gold from a national competition. I see. You were at a competition during the school trip. - Is that when you won it? / - Yes. I went straight to Tongyeong that night, but I couldn't give it to you. You were really upset. I did go. Briefly, at night. No one else knew that. Of course not. I quietly saw the only person I wanted to see. - Are you done? / - What? We used to come here all the time. We always ate ramen like this. We did? This is cruel. How could you erase every single memory of me? Do you want me to help you get your memory back? No. You don't want to remember me? Sister, did you know? Ian must like you a lot. That's insane. Is this the girl you met in Seoul? She went missing when Eunbi died. What? Are they twins? Missing? Eunbi. Eunbyeol. Eunbyeol. Did I upset you? I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I'll be careful from now on. Don't be mad, okay? Hey, Eunbyeol. It's my fault, okay? She took it because I was so pretty. Forgive me. Eunbyeol, just let it go. She's mean like Regina from the movie "Mean Girls" She must've gotten her memory back. Her temper is back. I guess so. Eunbyeol. Who... Are you Suin? I heard you lost your memory. I guess you didn't get it back yet. Suin died last year. Eunbyeol. Aren't you Eunbyeol? You came over often when you were in grade school. Don't you remember me? Jeong Suin? I'm Suin's mom. Eunbyeol! Eunbyeol skipped the class and she isn't picking up. That transfer student, Soyeong, seems okay, but I guess Eunbyeol really doesn't like her. - Bye. / - Hey, Taegwang! Take this just to the bus stop please. - What is it? / - It's Eunbyeol's bag. - Eunbyeol? / - Yes. Hey! What are you going to do with that? Bring it back tomorrow! Isn't he being weird? Isn't he always weird? That's true. Anyway, do you want to get spicy rice cakes? I have my study group. My poor baby, you can't even eat with me. Start the quiz now. The questions of this degree of difficulty must be answered within a minute. One minute passed. Move on to the next question. If you can't answer those questions in a minute, don't even dream of going to S University. One minute passed. Next one. Hey, Minjun. Does that girl from your class even get this stuff? Ask Sijin yourself. At what level is she? She was struggling with the workbook earlier. Aren't her grades significantly lower than ours? What's the point of doing a diagnostic test then? Why do you think she got in? The one replacing Eunbyeol opted out. All of you saved 500 dollars each thanks to Sijin. We'd better be nice to her then. She's our benefactor. Right. You punk. You need to tell me right away if you're injured! Do you realize how many swimmers hide small injuries and end up giving up their careers? Coach, I'm fine. Sit out on this competition and focus on rehab. I need to swim in this competition! Do you want to retire after the May competition? The rest of you, tell me right away if you have any problems, okay? Yes, sir! Coach! Can't I quit that study group? It's only been a few days. I don't want to do it. I'm not even at their level. That's your problem. You're so weak. You need to work hard until you reach their level. Do you plan to fail without even trying? Why are you crying? Fine. Let's switch over to the arts then. Do you want to paint? Minjun's mom said there's hope if I get you an expensive tutor. The music won't work though. Mom. I don't understand you. Then how will you get into college? What do you want to do? I said I'll do anything you want. Why are you crying? Oh my gosh. Hey! Sijin! What... Sijin! Sijin! Where are you going? I'm crying because there is nothing I want to do. Okay? I am not as smart as the dad or as pretty as you! Why was I born like this? I'm not good at anything! That kid followed me again today. I'll know who it is if I turn around, but I'm afraid to face the person threatening me, so I can't. When I'm alone, that kid turns off the lights, closes the door, and disappears before I can find a trace. I can't tell Mom or cry out loud because I deserve to be punished. Why are you so out of it? You didn't even hear me come. What's wrong? Something is wrong, isn't it? Ian. You said you'd help me get my memory back, right? Help me. I need to know how I used to be. I want to be the Go Eunbyeol from before. Okay. I'll get you your memory back. But if you get it back thanks to me, you should grant me a wish. Promise? Promise me. Grant me a wish. What are you doing? Go in. Okay. (Taegwang) I'll give you 10 seconds. What is it? Ouch. Shoot! What the... Aren't you here to pass the bag? So we're done here. No. I came to see Eunbyeol. See her tomorrow. Darn it. Hello? Hello? Rajin. Eunbi? Eunbi? Hello? Rajin. Eunbyeol. It's okay. Cry if you want to. When it is hard, let's not hold back our tears and cry together. Okay? Okay, Mom. Do you need anything? No, I'm fine. Do you want some new clothes? I have plenty in my closet. Eunbyeol. Tell me if you need anything or want to do anything. A daughter is supposed to ask her mom about those. Okay? Mom. Did you see the diary... Never mind. I don't think I will do so well on exams this time. What should I do? Don't stress about it. Still, I'll do my best. Of course. I'll help you. Eat, okay? - What? Eunbyeol. / - Eunbyeol! - Hey. / - Hi, Ian. - Taegwang gave you the bag? / - How? I was afraid he would have thrown it out. Oops. Sorry. What the... What? I said I'd call once the study groups were set. There's no need. Take Eunbyeol out of all of them. Goodness. Were you offended about something? I put her in because everyone does but I always felt bad for Eunbyeol. I won't make her suffer anymore to feed my greed. You're making me tear up. You think that's love, don't you? That's being irresponsible. Think it over. Once she leaves, it may be over for good. I know. I came to end it for good. It's Taegwang's withdrawal from school. He says he'll go if it is his father's wishes. That means it isn't by his choice. When will it be processed? Must you send him away? He's causing trouble to spite me. It's best for him if I'm out of his sight. So you are rationalizing your decisions again, just like last year. Junseok. Just do what I ask. I'll hold onto this. The next time he gets in trouble, I won't report it to you. I'll take care of it myself. Hi. Hi. Well... About Eunbyeol. Eunbyeol? What about her? When she got amnesia, she didn't recognize you? That isn't all. She was a completely different person. That's right. When that cold Eunbyeol first saw me, she said "Hi." Sijin lent Eunbyeol her notes and she said her handwriting was completely different too. I see. - Really? / - Isn't that surprising? But why are you so interested in Eunbyeol? What? No reason. It's just interesting. - Do you want to go to the snack bar? / - Sure. - Eunbyeol, are you coming? / - No. - Ian, let's go to the snack bar. / - We'll be back. Eunbyeol. Can we talk? What is it? Actually, I have a problem. I don't want to hear about your problems. Find someone else. When I was in Tongyeong, there was an infamous outcast in my class. She was the class president and popular in junior high, but she didn't know her place, and her life was ruined instantly. (2 years ago, Tongyeong Nuri junior high) Oh Jeonga. Short and stubby. Incredible. There is no other way to describe her. Guys, please stop. And Soyeong, don't you think you're being too mean? That's our class president, the keeper of justice. Eunbi rocks. She's so authoritative. Shielding her won't make Stubby any taller. Stop calling her "Stubby." Stubs will be offended. Excuse me. I need to tell you something. Hey, Eunbi. Do you realize what you did? I got three days of suspension but that's it for me. But our poor Jeonga will go from our class' Short and Stubby to the school's Official Outcast... What are you doing? What do you think you're doing? Stop picking on the weak and take it out on me instead. Can you handle it? Fine. If that's what you want, I'll grant you your wish. I mean friends can fool around. But she killed herself so I had to transfer when I did nothing wrong. So? What do you want to say? Can someone who died come back from the dead? Pretending to be someone else and fooling everyone around her. So I want to look into whether that outcast died or is still alive. Your friend died, and that's all you can think of? I feel sorry for you. Since the day you transferred to my grade school, I have been feeling sorry for you. I knew you'd say that. Our little outcast. You haven't changed a bit. Hey. Lee Eunbi. It's been a while. If you hurt Songju, I won't forgive you. Not because you have something to hide? Is that so easy? Give it up. I'm just getting started. Fine, let's do this. Why do you keep following me? Because I'm worried! Hey, Taegwang. What's your deal? Don't call Eunbyeol out tonight.
