00:00Everyone admired Yi Ji.
00:02She was brilliant, and naturally, people wanted to be her friend.
00:05But Yi Ji didn't let her popularity get to her head.
00:08She was known for standing up for those who couldn't stand up for themselves.
00:11One lunchtime in the school cafeteria, Dong Yu, a heavyset boy who was often alone, was
00:17enjoying his meal.
00:18He didn't have many friends and was often overlooked.
00:21His innocent nature and timid personality made him an easy target for bullies.
00:25As he ate, a handsome but notoriously cruel upperclassman started to harass him.
00:30The bully taunted and ridiculed Dong Yu, who was too afraid to even speak up in his own
00:35defense.
00:36The cafeteria buzzed with whispers about the bully's actions, but no one dared intervene.
00:41Dong Yu felt humiliated.
00:43The focus of unwanted attention, but his fear paralyzed him.
00:46Yi Ji stepped in just as Dong Yu was about to resign himself to the abuse.
00:50She knew the upperclassman's reputation for being vicious and decided to lend Dong Yu a
00:55hand.
00:56She pointedly took out her phone and pretended to take a picture.
00:59The bully, who was part of a prestigious school group, instantly panicked.
01:03He knew that if a photo of him bullying someone went viral, his reputation, and possibly his
01:07future, would be ruined.
01:09He was terrified of being exposed online.
01:12Yi Ji, however, revealed she hadn't taken a picture of him.
01:15Instead, she snapped a selfie with Dong Yu, declaring that they were now friends.
01:19The bully was even more mortified.
01:21He secretly had a crush on Yi Ji, and couldn't believe she would choose to befriend someone
01:25like Dong Yu.
01:26Defeated and humiliated, the bully slunk away.
01:29The other students, witnessing Yi Ji's intervention, assumed there must be something special going
01:34on between her and Dong Yu.
01:36They swarmed Dong Yu, eager to learn more about his connection to the popular Yi Ji.
01:41Dong Yu, basking in the unexpected attention, couldn't help but feel a surge of triumph.
01:45The bully, now completely ignored, sat dejectedly alone.
01:49Dong Yu knew he owed his newfound social standing entirely to Yi Ji.
01:53To express his gratitude, he offered her money as a thank you gift.
01:57Later that day, in the school auditorium, Soo Bin was performing a piano piece on stage.
02:02He was talented and handsome.
02:04And Yi Ji secretly admired him.
02:06Although they weren't officially a couple, the girls around Yi Ji seemed to acknowledge
02:10their connection.
02:11As her friends teased her about Soo Bin, Yi Ji knew deep down that he wasn't particularly
02:16close to her.
02:17After Soo Bin received his award, he sought out Yi Ji privately.
02:20He had something he wanted to tell her.
02:22When another girl from a different class tried to ask him out, Soo Bin politely but firmly declined.
02:27He then turned his attention back to Yi Ji.
02:29This interaction led a nearby classmate to spread rumors that Soo Bin and Yi Ji were dating.
02:34While Yi Ji wished it were true, she knew their comfortable relationship stemmed from their
02:38long-standing childhood friendship.
02:40Back in 10th grade, a seemingly deliberate action by Soo Bin led the innocent Yi Ji to
02:45believe he liked her too.
02:47A video of them holding hands surfaced online, further solidifying the idea that they were
02:51a couple in the eyes of their classmates.
02:54By 11th grade, Soo Bin's actions only fueled the rumors.
02:57He would often show Yi Ji special attention in public, causing the other girls in their class
03:01to gossip.
03:03With everyone's attention on them, Yi Ji decided it was time to make their relationship official.
03:07She recorded a video conversation with Soo Bin, convinced that this was the moment they
03:11would finally become a couple.
03:12But when she poured her heart out to him, Soo Bin coldly rejected her.
03:16After a night of soul searching, Yi Ji realized that Soo Bin had never actually liked her.
03:21By the time they had a private conversation the next day, she had moved on.
03:25Their interaction felt completely platonic, just like any other friendship.
03:29Back in class, Yi Ji recounted the story to her friends.
03:32She explained that Soo Bin couldn't reciprocate her feelings, and joked that they were more
03:36like best buds.
03:38Upon hearing this, her friends suddenly transformed into amateur relationship experts, offering
03:43unsolicited advice and explanations.
03:45But as the main character in this story, Yi Ji remained unfazed by their chatter.
03:49She nonchalantly pulled out her lipstick and began applying it, instantly capturing the
03:53attention of her bespectacled friend, Dae Yoon.
03:56The previous topic was immediately abandoned.
03:59Inspired by the lipstick, Dae Yoon shifted the conversation to the upcoming arts festival.
04:04Yi Ji then asked Dae Yoon who she was planning to go with.
04:07Dae Yoon admitted she hadn't decided yet.
04:09But a nearby handsome classmate suggested she and Soo Bin perform a piano duet.
04:14This suggestion sparked something within Dae Yoon.
04:16Dae Yoon, who never wore makeup, decided to try lipstick for the first time.
04:20As she was secretly applying it in the restroom, their friend Se Na walked in.
04:25Instead of acknowledging Dae Yoon's shyness, Se Na bluntly told her to be confident and own
04:30her makeup.
04:31With that, Se Na left.
04:32Dae Yoon felt a mix of emotions.
04:35She was slightly annoyed by Se Na's bluntness.
04:37And also a little disheartened that Soo Bin seemed to be interested in Ye Ji.
04:42But little did she know, some exciting news was on its way.
04:45Ye Ji, seeing that Soo Bin had asked to meet her, assumed he was finally going to confess
04:50his feelings.
04:51She took extra care with her appearance before their meeting.
04:54However, when Soo Bin revealed his true intentions, Ye Ji's world turned upside down.
04:59She had been so sure she would end up with the person she liked.
05:02But learning that Soo Bin actually liked Dae Yoon left her stunned and in disbelief.
05:06So Bin's choice left Ye Ji feeling a pang of disappointment.
05:09In a chance encounter, Ye Ji's lingering hopes were finally dashed, confirming that Soo Bin
05:14did not reciprocate her feelings.
05:16His confession of liking Dae Yoon shattered Ye Ji's illusions, leaving her heartbroken and
05:21deeply wounded.
05:22The pain lingered, making it difficult for her to move on.
05:25Alone in her room that night, she received a text from a classmate.
05:29Seeing that it was about her relationship woes, she immediately locked her phone screen, unwilling
05:34to engage.
05:35The following morning at school, Ye Ji was standing alone in front of the main building,
05:39when Soo Bin suddenly appeared.
05:41He acted solicitous and caring, like a boyfriend.
05:44This confused Ye Ji.
05:45Why was he still showing her attention after choosing Dae Yoon?
05:48But that wasn't the worst part.
05:50When Dae Yoon arrived and saw Soo Bin's interaction with Ye Ji, Ye Ji felt like a third wheel.
05:56Witnessing the look in Soo Bin's eyes as he gazed at Dae Yoon, any remaining flicker of hope
06:00when Ye Ji's heart was extinguished.
06:02Meanwhile, Joo Hyuk was also nursing a secret crush on his close friend.
06:06Standing in the hallway, watching her, he felt a mix of happiness and sadness.
06:10After much contemplation, he resolved to find a way to pursue his love interest.
06:15Back in the classroom, Joo Hyuk brought up the previous topic with Ye Ji.
06:19But she was now consumed by the sadness of her unrequited love.
06:22She had no interest in answering his questions.
06:24While Joo Hyuk, fueled by hope and a surge of romantic energy, remained oblivious to her mood.
06:30Their conversation was interrupted by an important announcement, shifting everyone's attention.
06:35The news of Dong Joo landing a contract excited the whole class.
06:39Seeing him dressed sharply only confirmed their suspicions that he had been signed by a management
06:43company.
06:44Knowing that Dong Joo owed his success to Ye Ji, his classmates jokingly suggested he should
06:49return the favor and help them all out.
06:51But Ye Ji was preoccupied with her own thoughts, fixated on Soo Bin.
06:55Seeing the person she secretly loved now attached to Da Yoon, amplified her heartache.
07:00Throughout the class, Ye Ji replayed the moment her dream shattered.
07:04This time, she remembered more details.
07:06So Bin hadn't just confessed his feelings for Da Yoon.
07:09He had also asked Ye Ji to deliver a love letter to Da Yoon for him, and to publicize their
07:13relationship online.
07:15Ye Ji, understandably, had refused, storming off in anger.
07:19During break time, Ye Ji ran into Da Yoon in the restroom.
07:22They had a brief, awkward exchange.
07:24Da Yoon thanked Ye Ji, assuming she had made a painful sacrifice by giving up Soo Bin.
07:29Ye Ji, without saying a word, simply walked away.
07:32Meanwhile, Dong Joo returned home, boasting to his roommate, Sion Jae, about his newfound success.
07:38But his roommate remained indifferent, engrossed in making music on his computer.
07:42As if Ye Ji's situation couldn't get any worse, while walking with a friend, she bumped into
07:47Soo Bin, adding another layer of discomfort to her already difficult day.
07:51Neither of them spoke, and Se Na, assuming her presence was making them uncomfortable,
07:56deliberately lingered, giving them space.
07:58However, Da Yoon's arrival surprised her.
08:01Upon learning that Soo Bin and Da Yoon were attending the arts festival together, Ye Ji abruptly
08:06excused herself.
08:08Watching Ye Ji walk away, Soo Bin, who had known her for 10 years, rushed after her.
08:13He reached out and gently grabbed her hand.
08:15But this time, Ye Ji wasn't touched.
08:17Instead, she uttered a scathing remark that made him release his grip.
08:21As the tension between them thickened, Se Na and Da Yoon approached.
08:25Seizing the opportunity, Soo Bin quickly excused himself and left with Da Yoon.
08:30Memories of Soo Bin flooded Ye Ji's mind, filling her with anger and confusion.
08:34Why would he choose an ordinary girl over her?
08:37Overwhelmed by emotion, she confronted Soo Bin, demanding an explanation.
08:41But his response was indifferent and dismissive.
08:43Ye Ji's feelings shifted from secret admiration to resentment.
08:47To console herself, she began plotting her revenge.
08:50While Ye Ji's romantic life was in turmoil, Dong Ju was experiencing a moment of triumph.
08:55After his newfound fame, he joined a management company.
08:58But he wasn't treated with much respect.
09:00Facing the company representative, he became incredibly nervous, resorting to flattery and self-deprecation to win them over.
09:07In reality, he had been tricked into taking a job as a hotel waiter.
09:10Se On Jae only learned about Dong Ju's interview with the management company through gossip.
09:15Initially, he didn't pay much attention, preoccupied with his work.
09:18However, when news of Dong Ju's deception became public, he found himself the target of ridicule from the same bullies who had tormented him before.
09:26Ye Ji witnessed the upperclassmen harassing Dong Ju again and was about to intervene when Se On Jae stepped in.
09:32After chasing the bullies away, he turned and angrily confronted Ye Ji, demanding she delete the photo she had posted with Dong Ju.
09:40Ye Ji refused. Se On Jae insulted her before leading Dong Ju away.
09:45To protect Ye Ji's reputation, Dong Ju publicly declared that he had willingly given her the money.
09:50He even thanked her profusely, a gesture that deeply touched Ye Ji.
09:54The commotion in the hallway attracted the attention of a teacher, who dispersed the students.
09:59The teacher then called Se On Jae and Ye Ji to the staff room for a talk.
10:03Se On Jae, known for skipping classes and his lack of academic seriousness, was reprimanded.
10:08The teacher also expressed disappointment in Ye Ji.
10:11In response to the criticism, Ye Ji simply stated that she would be participating in the arts festival.
10:16Later, after leaving school, Ye Ji spoke with Se On Jae again, reiterating her refusal to delete the photo.
10:22But Ye Ji continued, if you agree to partner with me for the arts festival, I'll delete the photo.
10:29Se On Jae was completely uninterested. As he turned to leave, Ye Ji stopped him.
10:33She launched into a persuasive argument, framing the partnership as mutually beneficial.
10:38Se On Jae, a loner by nature, immediately rejected the idea of collaborating with anyone.
10:44But Ye Ji wasn't satisfied with his answer. She blocked his path again.
10:48And after emphasizing that she valued his musical skills and nothing more, he finally agreed to the
10:53partnership. Ye Ji and Soo Bin were fundamentally different. Ye Ji was bold and free-spirited,
10:59embracing her emotions, while Soo Bin appeared fickle and emotionally unavailable.
11:03On a bright afternoon, Se Na followed the online seller's instructions to a park for a meet-up.
11:09There, she saw Dae Yoon. Dae Yoon, turning around, was equally surprised to see her friend.
11:14It turned out Dae Yoon was the online seller. Se Na had been looking to buy a wallet online.
11:19Finding the initial price too high, she negotiated a lower price.
11:23Thrilled with her bargaining skills, she had arranged to meet the seller in person to complete
11:27the transaction. Dae Yoon, realizing the buyer was her classmate, offered to give her the wallet for
11:32free. But upon learning it belonged to Dae Yoon, Se Na's attitude changed drastically. The joy of her
11:38successful negotiation vanished, replaced by criticism of the wallet's quality. Se Na abruptly
11:44cancelled the deal, leaving Dae Yoon feeling embarrassed. Meanwhile, Soo Bin was facing his
11:49troubles. He played piano at a bar, where his skills caught the owner's attention. As he was leaving
11:54after his shift, the owner called him back to discuss his pay. An argument ensued. So Bin, still a high
12:01school student, didn't want to reveal his identity and preferred to be paid in cash. The owner found this
12:06inconvenient and suspected Soo Bin hadn't even graduated high school. Exposed, Soo Bin reluctantly agreed to
12:13receive his pay via bank transfer. Leaving the bar he went to buy milk for Yi Ji, as he usually did.
12:19Seeing that he had only come for that, Yi Ji immediately walked off. When Soo Bin asked where
12:23she was going, she refused to tell him. Sion Jae was hiding at home, playing hooky from school. He ignored
12:29Yi Ji's calls. Despite his attempts to cut himself off from the world, Yi Ji tracked him down. His friend
12:35opened the door, and Yi Ji seized the opportunity to slip inside. She found Sion Jae asleep on the sofa.
12:41Annoyed at being woken up by her antics, he angrily told her to leave. Undeterred, Yi Ji doubled down on
12:47her efforts, creating a cacophony of noise to prevent him from sleeping. Despite opening the
12:52door twice to shoo her away, Sion Jae's efforts were futile. Yi Ji ended up going to school alone.
12:58The classmates expressed their disappointment that Yi Ji hadn't managed to drag Sion Jae to school.
13:04So Bin, observing the scene, finally understood why Yi Ji was ignoring him.
13:09Meanwhile, Se Na and Joo Hyuk were hitting it off. Their shared energetic and humorous
13:13personalities creating a lively atmosphere. This only amplified Yi Ji's feelings of dejection,
13:19as she watched Soo, Bin and Da Yoon chatting privately. Jealousy gnawed at her. Fueled by a desire for
13:25revenge, she sought out Sion Jae, resuming her stakeout in front of his house. This time, Yi Ji changed her
13:31tactics. Noticing the absence of her usual disruptive behavior, Sion Jae cautiously opened
13:36the door to investigate. Yi Ji, anticipating this, was ready and waiting. Before he could unleash his
13:42usual barrage of complaints, she quickly covered his mouth. With a renewed, almost desperate plea,
13:47she finally managed to coax him out of the house. Under Yi Ji's guidance, Sion Jae arrived at the school
13:52gates. Seeing his reluctance to enter, Yi Ji devised a new plan. She hailed a taxi, tricked Sion Jae into
13:59opening the door, and pushed him inside. She then directed the driver to her usual stress relief
14:04destination. Sion Jae was stunned by the chaotic scene that greeted him. Yi Ji had brought him to clean
14:09up after the animals at a local shelter. Sion Jae attempted to flee, but Ye Ji blocked his exit. Trapped,
14:15he begrudgingly started cleaning. Meanwhile, Soo Bin, learning of Yi Ji and Sion Jae's budding
14:21friendship, became jealous. He felt powerless to intervene, a feeling that gnawed at him. This distraction
14:27made it difficult for him to focus during his piano practice with Da Yoon. Both harboring their
14:31anxieties, their practice session ground to a halt. In contrast, Ye Ji and Sion Jae, though not
14:37romantically involved, found an unexpected harmony. They chatted openly and honestly. And during a
14:43conversation about milk, Sion Jae found himself developing feelings for Ye Ji. Back at school, Yi Ji ran into
14:50Soo Bin. He offered her the usual milk, but she silently walked past him into the classroom. So Bin followed.
14:57Da Yoon was sitting in Ye Ji's seat. Seeing them together, she assumed they were still involved.
15:02She knew she couldn't do anything if they were truly meant to be together, a realization that left
15:06her feeling insecure and sidelined. When Joo Hyuk inquired about Sion Jae's participation in the arts
15:12festival, Soo Bin listened anxiously as Yi Ji confirmed he might attend, a prospect that clearly unnerved him.
15:18As the teacher arrived, everyone submitted their applications for the festival. Se Na and Joo Hyuk practiced their
15:24routine. And when the teacher asked Ye Ji, she confirmed her participation. However, Sion Jae's
15:30absence put her in a difficult position. With no partner, the others suggested she team up with Soo Bin.
15:36However, the teacher refused, stating Soo Bin should partner with Da Yoon. As the three of them stood
15:42there awkwardly, Sion Jae finally called Ye Ji to confirm his participation and submit his application.
15:48Suddenly, a message alert pinged on everyone's phones. As they checked their messages, Soo Bin's face fell.
15:54Years ago, his piano skills had impressed the bar owner. As he was leaving one night,
15:58the owner had cryptically hinted at something more. Back in the present, Soo Bin stared at his phone in
16:03disbelief. It was a post about the bar where he worked, revealing his secret. Fearful of exposure,
16:08he felt trapped. He wanted to confront Da Yoon, suspecting she was behind it. But his fear held him
16:13back. His suspicion was confirmed when he realized the message containing the video had indeed been
16:19sent by Da Yoon. Just then, Sion Jae arrived at school. So Bin, seeing this, abandoned his attempt
16:25to reconcile with Ye Ji. Da Yoon, seizing the opportunity to drive a wedge between Soo Bin and Ye Ji,
16:31deliberately sent a video of herself and Soo Bin talking to everyone in the class. Everyone who received
16:36the video assumed they were a couple. But the most dramatic reaction came not from Ye Ji, but from Soo Bin.
16:42He panicked, thinking Da Yoon had sent everyone a video of him working at the bar,
16:46relieved to discover it was a different video, and that his part-time job remained a secret.
16:51He regained his composure. However, his troubles weren't over. Short on tuition money, Soo Bin was
16:57called to the teacher's office for a serious talk. He realized Da Yoon had discovered his part-time job,
17:02and had even taken a picture of him with the bar owner. Because she liked him, she hadn't exposed him
17:07publicly, opting instead to leverage the information for her gain. So Bin refused to be manipulated.
17:13He confronted the bar owner about Da Yoon's actions. Only then did Da Yoon realize Soo Bin's financial
17:18struggles, she offered to help. But Soo Bin rejected her offer, refusing to be indebted to her.
17:24Da Yoon left, disheartened by Soo Bin's indifference. That evening, Soo Bin texted the bar owner,
17:30confirming he would continue working. The next afternoon, he met with the owner again. Using his piano skills and a
17:35fabricated story about being a university student, needing to earn money to convince him to keep him
17:40on. Despite securing his tuition money, Soo Bin remained worried about his secret being exposed.
17:46When Ye Ji invited him to the park and confessed her feelings, he rejected her. Burdened by the
17:51secrets he couldn't share. Reflecting on their past, Soo Bin realized he couldn't be with Ye Ji,
17:56even though he longed to be her boyfriend. He now resorted to watching her from afar. Seeing the object of
18:01his affection looking at his rival, Da Yoon decided to make things difficult for Ye Ji.
18:06When the teacher called both Soo Bin and Ye Ji, Da Yoon seized the opportunity to pull Soo Bin out of the
18:11classroom. Flaunting their closeness in front of Ye Ji, Ye Ji watched them leave. Heartbroken.
18:17Sion Jae, noticing her distress, took her for a walk. In the teacher's office, Da Yoon and Soo Bin
18:23discussed their arts festival preparations. The teacher inadvertently mentioned Sion Jae and Ye Ji,
18:29leading Soo Bin to believe they were a couple. This realization filled him with sadness. While
18:33walking with Sion Jae, Ye Ji received a message from an upperclassman requesting a meeting that
18:39evening. She reluctantly agreed. Sae Na, leaving Joo Hyuk behind, accompanied Ye Ji. As the festival
18:45approached, Ye Ji sought out Sion Jae to collaborate on a song. Initially reluctant, Sion Jae agreed after Ye Ji
18:52offered to write the lyrics. Sensing his skepticism about her songwriting abilities, she assured him
18:57she could draw inspiration from her own experiences. Sion Jae, now harboring feelings for Ye Ji,
19:03felt a pang of sadness as he realized she was still hung up on Soo Bin. He quietly left. Oblivious to
19:09Joo Hyuk's internal drama, Ye Ji continued writing lyrics. Meanwhile, Joo Hyuk, observing his classmates,
19:16indulged in a fantasy where everyone praised him. Lost in this daydream, he couldn't help but strike a
19:21melancholic princely pose, imagining compliments on his handsome features. However, his fantasy
19:27crumbled upon entering the dance practice room. Seeing the other guys practicing, his imagination
19:32deflated, especially when he noticed Sae Na intently watching his rival. Jealousy flared, but instead of
19:38confronting his competitor, he tried to boost his image, struggling to find a way to capture Sae Na's
19:43attention. Remembering Sae Na's enthusiastic praise of the handsome dancer, Joo Hyuk grew increasingly
19:49anxious. Desperate, he texted, Ye Ji, lamenting his inability to understand why Sae Na remained
19:55oblivious to his charms. Enlightened, Joo Hyuk decided to learn how to dance. As everyone left the practice
20:01room, he began practicing alone. After an exhausting afternoon, a drained Joo Hyuk, still striving for a
20:07perfect pose, encouraged himself to keep going. Meanwhile, Ye Ji, tired from writing lyrics, fell asleep at
20:14her desk. Seon Jae, arriving home to find her asleep, quietly took his antidepressant medication and lay
20:20down on the sofa. Also falling asleep, he plunged into a deep sleep, plagued by disturbing dreams from
20:26his past. Jolted awake by the nightmare, he struggled to regain his composure until he heard Ye Ji humming a
20:32melody. Coincidentally, Soo Bin was also practicing the same piano piece. Listening to the object of his
20:38affection play, Da Yoon confessed her feelings to Soo Bin, suggesting they officially date. So Bin was
20:44taken aback. As their unusual love triangle unfolded, Seon Jae found himself drawn to Ye Ji. As she turned in
20:51her chair, their eyes met a spark igniting between them. Seon Jae, breaking the silence, complimented her
20:57song. Ye Ji, surprised by the unexpected praise, was momentarily speechless. Driven by jealousy over losing
21:04Soo Bin to Da Yoon, she partnered with Seon Jae out of spite. Now, faced with his genuine affection,
21:09she was unsure how to react. Captivated by her cheerful personality and the song she hummed, Seon Jae,
21:16despite his depression, found himself falling deeper for her. He continued to praise her,
21:20but she brushed it off playfully, teasing him. Undeterred, he insisted she was better suited to be
21:25the lead singer. Just then, Ye Ji received a message from the upperclassmen, reminding her of their
21:30appointment. She hurried out, just as Seon Jae received a message from his ex-girlfriend. Reading
21:36her positive update about her improved mental state, he smiled. But the message also triggered a memory
21:41of negative online comments he had seen earlier. The sheer volume of gossip and criticism, all directed
21:46at him, had made him the target of online vitriol. The memory darkened his mood. Back in the classroom,
21:52Soo Bin sat alone. Still dwelling on the teacher's remark about Seon Jae and Ye Ji being partners,
21:58Se Na's arrival to collect her belongings, snapped him out of his reverie. Overhearing Se,
22:04Na mentioned Ye Ji's evening meeting with the older guy. Soo Bin suddenly perked up, anxiously asking
22:09about her whereabouts. Meanwhile, in a secluded spot, Ye Ji met with the troublesome upperclassmen.
22:15Just as they began talking, Soo Bin arrived. Instead of acknowledging him, Ye Ji continued her
22:20conversation with the older guy. The upperclassmen, kneeling before her, tearfully explained that he had
22:25been fired. Despite knowing he was at fault, he showed no remorse for his bullying behavior.
22:31Instead, portraying himself as the victim. Disgusted by his lack of accountability,
22:35Soo Bin was about to lash out when Ye Ji stopped him. She proposed a deal. If the upperclassmen apologized
22:41to Dong Ju, she would help him. Ye Ji then turned to Soo Bin, who was staring at her silently. Annoyed by his
22:48silence, she threatened to withdraw her offer of help. After a brief exchange, Soo Bin finally spoke,
22:53asking for a hug. Ye Ji complied. Sensing his distress, she took him to the park to unwind.
22:59They jumped on a trampoline for a while. But seeing that Soo Bin was still holding back,
23:04she held up five fingers, offering him a choice. This gesture triggered a memory of a promise they had
23:09made. Each finger represented a different level of apology, a different emotional offering. As the
23:15memories flooded back, Soo Bin, recalling Ye Ji's teachings, deliberately chose a finger, indicating his
23:21desire to apologize. Ye Ji, however, complained that she hadn't had a chance to talk to him properly
23:27before the bar owner called. Reluctantly, Soo Bin stepped aside to answer the call. When Ye Ji asked
23:32who it was, he evaded the question. Simply stating he had to leave and asking her to wait. Though confused,
23:38Ye Ji stayed. As time passed, her patience wore thin. She called Soo Bin but preoccupied with his work at the
23:44bar. He didn't answer. He intended to return to Ye Ji as soon as possible. But the bar owner, unwilling to
23:50lose him, refused his request to quit. Meanwhile, Ye Ji sat alone in the park. Sion J called, asking when
23:57she would be back. The call reminded her of her backup plan. With Soo Bin still absent, she told Sion J he
24:03didn't need to wait for her. But Sion J, ignoring her advice, insisted he would wait. After leaving the bar,
24:10Soo Bin didn't go to Ye Ji. Instead, he ran to a secluded alley and cried. Ignoring calls from both
24:16Da Yoon and Ye Ji, he set his phone aside and wept. Exhausted, he eventually fell asleep in the alley.
24:22He didn't hear Ye Ji's calls. Just then, Da Yoon arrived. Seeing Ye Ji's incoming call, she answered.
24:28Surprised to hear Da Yoon's voice, Ye Ji asked about Soo Bin. Da Yoon, without revealing the truth,
24:34simply said she would take care of him. This interference created a misunderstanding
24:38between Ye Ji and Soo Bin. Both assumed the other was with Da Yoon, and Ye Ji gave up on waiting for
24:43Soo Bin. Da Yoon, reminiscing about her past with Soo Bin, finally understood the situation. Short on
24:50tuition money, Soo Bin had been forced to ask Da Yoon for help. Unwilling to be indebted to her,
24:56he had taken on a part-time job to repay her. Their complicated relationship finally came to light.
25:01Da Yoon's interest in Soo Bin began during their first year. Impressed by Da Yoon's piano skills,
25:06Ye Ji introduced her to Soo Bin, mentioning his shared passion for music. This introduction
25:11sparked Da Yoon's interest, leading to their first interaction. Meanwhile, Ye Ji's kindness and
25:16popularity earned her admiration throughout the school. Numerous secret admirers left letters in her
25:20locker. And as her reputation grew, so did the number of admirers. Se Na's connection to Ye Ji
25:27began with an unpleasant encounter. Bullied and seeking help, she had approached Ye Ji, who initially
25:32hadn't offered genuine assistance. Se Na became the first student to offer Ye Ji money in exchange for
25:38help. A gesture that made Ye Ji uncomfortable. Shortly after, Se Na left a note expressing her
25:44dissatisfaction in Ye Ji's locker. Upon discovering the message, Ye Ji sought Se Na out. Instead of
25:50scolding her, Ye Ji took a picture with Se Na in front of everyone. Effectively shielding her from
25:55further bullying. Unwilling to be indebted to Se Na, Ye Ji also returned the money. So Bin's timid and
26:01fearful nature, coupled with Da Yoon's immaturity, ultimately hurt Ye Ji. Facing their constant
26:07disregard for her feelings, she finally gave up on So Bin. During the freshman orientation,
26:12students introduced themselves in the multimedia room. When Ye Ji's turn came, her popularity preceded
26:18her. Everyone knew she was a talented singer. To liven up the introductions, the students encouraged
26:23her to sing. As excitement built, she began to sing. Up until this point, everything seemed normal.
26:28But then, the multimedia system was hacked. Suddenly, a nude photo of Ye Ji appeared on the
26:33large screen. The room fell silent. Everyone staring in shock. Ye Ji froze. Although So Bin instantly
26:40reacted, rushing to the stage to turn off the projector. The damage was done. Back in the present,
26:46realizing Da Yoon had answered So Bin's phone, Ye Ji confronted her. After Da Yoon hung up, Ye Ji tried
26:53calling So Bin, but he ignored her calls. She then went to find Sion Jae. Finding him faithfully
26:58waiting at his apartment, Ye Ji felt a pang of guilt. Composing herself, she sat beside him and cleared her
27:04throat to get his attention. Sion Jae, noticing her, playfully teased her. Relieved that he wasn't upset
27:10about her long absence, she began recording their song. The first attempt was unsuccessful, as she hadn't
27:15yet found the right emotional tone. But she quickly adjusted and successfully recorded the track.
27:20Sion Jae, captivated by her voice, listened intently. The next day at school, he asked about So Bin.
27:27Hearing his name, Ye Ji hesitated. Unable to articulate her complicated relationship with him.
27:33In the dance practice room, Se Na injured her ankle. During her break, the teacher called her to the
27:38office. To her delight, she learned she had been nominated for a full scholarship for the following
27:43year. However, the teacher explained that her application was borderline, and she had likely received
27:48the nomination due to strong letters of recommendation. Se Na, unsure who had written
27:52them, was nonetheless overjoyed. Back in the classroom, she shared the news with Ye Ji.
27:57Da Yoon approached, offering insincere congratulations, which Sae Na politely accepted. Though surprised by
28:04her sudden interest, the other classmates, upon hearing about Se Na's scholarship opportunity,
28:10reacted with suspicion rather than genuine happiness. Se Na, initially dismissing it as luck, was taken aback
28:16when Da Yoon revealed she had orchestrated the scholarship nomination. Realizing the truth,
28:21Se Na's expression hardened. Ye Ji, sensing an impending argument, tried to intervene. But Se Na,
28:28ignoring her, unleashed her frustration on Da Yoon, insulting her before storming off. Da Yoon,
28:34furious that someone as poor as Se Na dared to defy her, seethed with anger. Before she could collect
28:39herself, Ye Ji confronted Da Yoon about So Bin. Their conversation quickly escalated, turning the former
28:45classmates into rivals. Ye Ji questioned Da Yoon's claim of caring for So Bin, pointing out she didn't
28:50even know where he was. Da Yoon retorted that she was always there for So Bin during difficult times.
28:56Infuriated, Ye Ji walked away. Se Na, still fuming, marched straight to Joo Hyuk. Seeing him struggle
29:02to open a water bottle, she snatched it and drank without hesitation. As her anger subsided, she finally
29:08caught her breath. Her first words were a curse directed at Da Yoon. Seeing the object of his affection so
29:14upset, Joo Hyuk performed a silly dance to cheer her up. Despite the awkwardness of his performance,
29:20Se Na found herself amused. Perhaps fate was smiling on the goofy boy. Se Na found herself
29:25developing feelings for Joo Hyuk. While she wouldn't call him handsome, she didn't find his antics annoying
29:31either. That evening, alone at home, Da Yoon plotted her revenge against Ye Ji, contacting someone to dig up dirt on
29:37both Ye Ji and Se On Jae. On the day of the arts festival, the participating students gathered in
29:42the multimedia room. So Bin's prolonged absence worried Ye Ji. She glanced at his empty seat, feeling
29:49anxious and restless. Se On Jae, noticing her unease, knew she was thinking about Soo Bin. Despite a pang of
29:55jealousy, he accepted the truth. As the competition began, the performers took to the stage one by one.
30:01When most of the acts had finished, Se Na took her turn, delivering a flawless performance. Ye Ji and Se On Jae
30:08were the last to perform. Haunted by the past incident, Ye Ji faltered at the edge of the stage,
30:13fear threatening to paralyze her. Se On Jae offered to withdraw. But Ye Ji, displaying unexpected resilience,
30:20pushed through her fear and stepped into the spotlight. Sensing her lingering anxiety, Se On Jae suggested
30:26she sing directly to him. His advice worked, calming her nerves. Once she regained her composure,
30:31they began their performance. Their seamless collaboration captivated the audience. As the
30:36crowd applauded, Da Yoon launched her attack. She had someone hack into the school's sound system,
30:41broadcasting the damaging information she had gathered about Se On Jae and Ye Ji. As confusion rippled
30:47through the audience, Soo Bin suddenly appeared in front of Da Yoon, unwilling to let Ye Ji be humiliated again.
30:53He swiftly disabled the audio, confronting Da Yoon about her malicious act. He berated her for her
30:58cruelty and underhanded tactics. For Ye Ji, Soo Bin's appearance on stage was deeply moving.
31:04Da Yoon's malicious plan had been twofold. To humiliate both Se Na and Ye Ji,
31:09and to continuously harass Soo Bin, digging up dirt on both of them. She intended to publicly shame her
31:15rivals and ruin Ye Ji's life. As Ye Ji and Se On Jae finished their performance, thunderous applause filled the
31:21room. Unseen, Da Yoon connected her recording device to the multimedia system's audio, ready to expose
31:28their secrets. After a series of jarring noises, the sound of two men talking filled the room. The
31:33recording featured a conversation where they discussed Ye Ji, falsely accusing her of accepting
31:38bribes to boost her friends' online popularity. On stage, Ye Ji listened to the slanderous accusations
31:44with a mixture of disgust and disbelief. Before the entire recording could play, Soo Bin appeared,
31:50striding towards Da Yoon and switching off the device. This scene mirrored the previous incident.
31:55Although Soo Bin had intervened, Ye Ji's image was tarnished yet again in front of her peers.
32:00Many were now openly critical of her. Ye Ji, already the victim of a cruel prank,
32:05was furious with Da Yoon. But the whispers and judgment of her classmates stung even more.
32:10Before anyone could say anything more, the teacher called Ye Ji to the office. So Bin stood there,
32:15stunned and speechless. Ye Ji wasn't the only one facing trouble. Joo Hyuk was also experiencing
32:21difficulties. As a trainee, he was filming a video with the other aspiring idols. His boisterous
32:26personality often led him to hog the spotlight. Treating himself as the main character and relegating
32:31others to supporting roles, this behavior earned him the resentment of his fellow trainees. Although they
32:36hid their true feelings in front of the camera. Aware of their disapproval, Joo Hyuk became more reserved.
32:42After the practice session, he apologized, promising to improve. The trainee in the white shirt however,
32:47berated him. While the trainee in the black shirt offered words of encouragement. The trainee in white
32:52then suggested they take advantage of the manager's absence and have a drink. Joo Hyuk, terrified
32:57because he had never consumed alcohol, declined. The trainee in white became angry. But the trainee in black
33:03intervened, suggesting Joo Hyuk try a non-alcoholic beverage. Coaxed by the trainee in black, Joo Hyuk reluctantly
33:10took a large gulp, instantly regretting it. The unfamiliar taste and the sudden intake of liquid
33:15caused him visible discomfort. Over time, the bullying escalated. As two of the bullies left
33:21the company, they watched a video on their phones, laughing at Joo Hyuk's expense. Sae Na, sitting on
33:26the sidewalk, overheard their conversation and saw the video. She immediately went looking for him.
33:31Inside the company, Joo Hyuk was now visibly intoxicated. The other trainees, seizing the opportunity,
33:38filmed him in his drunken state, intending to further damage his reputation. The trainee in black,
33:43no longer hiding his disdain, revealed his long-held resentment towards Joo Hyuk. Admitting the whole
33:49incident was a pre-planned setup. As the bullies continued to mock Joo Hyuk, Sae Na suddenly appeared,
33:54startling them. She began filming them. Panicked, they covered their faces and quickly left. Fortunately,
34:01Sae Na's timely arrival prevented further harassment. She checked on Joo Hyuk, whose anxiety visibly eased upon
34:07seeing her. He gratefully accepted her offer to help him leave. Elsewhere on campus, Ye Ji wandered
34:13around listening to music. Seon Jae quietly approached and changed the song on her headphones.
34:18Surprised by his playful gesture and discovering his hidden musical talent, Ye Ji teased him back.
34:24Their conversation took on a flirtatious tone. To diffuse the awkwardness, Ye Ji playfully shoved Seon Jae.
34:30Seon Jae, however, was head over heels in love. He confessed his feelings, leaving Ye Ji stunned.
34:36Before she could react, he walked away. Watching from a distance, Su Bin saw Ye Ji smile at Seon Jae's
34:43confession. Realizing he had lost his chance, he decided to leave the school. He met with Da Yoon,
34:49informing her that they wouldn't see each other again. Da Yoon, heartbroken by the impending breakup,
34:54was speechless as memories of their past flooded her mind. So Bin returned the money he had borrowed from
34:59Da Yoon, effectively ending their relationship. He then met with Ye Ji in the park. For the first time,
35:05he confessed everything. Revealing the full story of his complicated relationship with Da Yoon,
35:10Ye Ji forgave him. Seeing her understanding and lack of judgment, Su Bin finally confesses his love for
35:16Ye Ji. His confession led Ye Ji to believe they would finally be together. However, Su Bin's impending
35:22graduation left her reeling. Devastated by the loss, Ye Ji became withdrawn and listless, desperately trying to
35:28contact him without success. Finally, she reached out to Da Yoon. They met at school, both grappling
35:34with the aftermath of Su Bin's departure. With Su Bin gone, Ye Ji found solace in her friendship with
35:39Seon Jae. While Da Yoon, having alienated everyone, was once again alone. The emotional turmoil had taken
35:46its toll on everyone involved. Se Na and Joo Hyukyu were the only ones who emerged from the ordeal,
35:53relatively unscathed. Se Na's talent won her first place in the competition, while Joo Hyuk's efforts
35:58earned him the popularity award. Their shared experience brought them closer, and Se Na finally
36:04acknowledged her romantic feelings for Joo Hyuk. At the classroom door, Se Na saw Da Yoon giving away
36:09lipstick to other classmates. Annoyed, she tried to avoid her. But Da Yoon, during break time,
36:15deliberately sought Se Na out. Their initial conversation about Joo Hyuk remained civil.
36:20But when Da Yoon mocked Se Na's victory, implying it was similar to her contrived scholarship nomination,
36:26the tension escalated. Se Na retorted that she had won effortlessly, then criticized Da Yoon for trying
36:31to buy popularity with lipstick. Da Yoon tried to defend herself, but Se Na pressed on. Losing her composure,
36:38Da Yoon lashed out, insulting Se Na's poverty and accusing her of ingratitude. Se Na, deeply hurt,
36:45pointed out that she hadn't asked for Da Yoon's help and that Da Yoon's achievements were due to
36:48her parents' influence. Da Yoon, not to be outdone, demanded Se Na pay for the scholarship, revealing her
36:55deceitful manipulation. Realizing she had been tricked, Se Na erupted in anger. But Da Yoon held the
37:00upper hand, knowing Se Na couldn't afford it, and continued to taunt her. Their argument escalated into a
37:06public spectacle. Seeing Da Yoon's humiliating behavior, Ye Ji intervened, only to be shoved aside.
37:13Infuriated, Ye Ji slapped Da Yoon. Da Yoon feigned innocence, dramatically claiming she had nothing left.
37:19Disgusted by her act, Ye Ji calmly explained her wrongdoings, then walked away without looking back.
37:25As the confrontation ended, the surrounding crowd dispersed. After settling the score with Da Yoon,
37:31Ye Ji went to the park, to look at pictures of Soo Bin. Se On Jae arrived with milk. And Ye Ji,
37:37mistaking him for Soo Bin, quickly offered to pay. Realizing she was still pining for Soo Bin,
37:42Se On Jae recounted a private conversation he had had with him. Before leaving school, Soo Bin had visited
37:48Se On Jae. Initially, Se On Jae had tried to send him away. But relenting, he allowed him inside. During their
37:55conversation, Se On Jae, annoyed, interrupted Soo Bin. Sensing Se On Jae's dislike, Soo Bin revealed he
38:02was only saying things Ye Ji liked. Entrusting his feelings for her to Se On Jae. Sharing Soo Bin's
38:07words and actions with Ye Ji. Se On Jae helped her realize that the person she loved wasn't coming back.
38:13For Se On Jae, however, his pursuit of Ye Ji was lifelong. Meanwhile, Ye Ji still conflicted. Received a visit from
38:20the upperclassmen seeking to clear his name. He revealed the manipulated video that had tarnished
38:24his reputation. Initially, Ye Ji ignored him. But overhearing a phone conversation implicating her,
38:30she became intrigued. After watching the video, she finally understood the truth behind the nude photo
38:35incident. Refusing to be manipulated, she immediately photographed the upperclassmen's confession and
38:41posted it online, clearing her name. Thanks to Ye Ji's online popularity, the post quickly went viral,
38:47revealing the truth to everyone. Months later, Ye Ji had found peace. In the absence of Soo Bin,
38:53she had become a popular TikToker. Regularly interacting with her followers and sharing her
38:58music. Se On Jae, unable to be with Ye Ji romantically, found solace in playing music in the school's free
39:04practice room. Although their relationship hadn't progressed, they maintained a silent connection.
39:09Acknowledging each other from afar. While Ye Ji sang during a livestream, Se On Jae, in a moment of
39:15synchronicity, played the same song in the practice room. As usual, Ye Ji checked the letters in her
39:20locker. Still carrying the sadness of Soo Bin's departure, but determined to move on. She continued
39:26her livestreams and visited the free practice room to listen to music. During one such visit, Soo Bin
39:31returned to the school. Seeking to surprise Ye Ji, he quietly approached her and gently touched her pinky
39:37finger. Ye Ji realized the person she had secretly loved was standing before her. Recognizing the gesture as a
39:43symbol of his love, she finally understood. The episode ends here.
39:47Thank you for watching. See you in the next video.
