Unrequited love is something that never comes true

Yeoju... Do I have to skip lunch?

홍여주

I don't want to eat... I have no appetite...

김미현 image

김미현

Okay. Then we'll go eat.

홍여주

huh....

홍여주

....

홍여주

Sigh... The kids are all going to eat... It's not that quiet... Let's listen to some music...

Second to me

If a life different from now comes

Will I be by your side? Will you be by my side?

Imagine this

I brought it up as a passing joke, but

Will you believe me?

It's a funny thought, but

One day, I was left alone

When you see my face in your eyes

I hug you as if the world has stopped

If I had a second life

Maybe I'll live and breathe differently than I do now.

I hope we remember each other in the streets we pass by without knowing each other.

We're already beautiful

홍여주

'If I really had a second life, would I be able to meet Han Seung-woo and like him in that second life?'

Knock knock-

홍여주

....?

임영민 image

임영민

hi?

홍여주

Ah... why..?

임영민 image

임영민

Han Seung-woo likes him

홍여주

uh..?

임영민 image

임영민

You like him

홍여주

....

임영민 image

임영민

This is my first time mixing words, but let's get to the point first.

임영민 image

임영민

The kids will be here soon

홍여주

What's the main point?

임영민 image

임영민

Han Seung-woo, are you curious about their family?

홍여주

uh..

임영민 image

임영민

Don't try to find out. Those five people from their family that you hang out with, and Kim Woo-seok, Kim Yo-han, Lee Han-gyeol, and Jo Seung-yeon, that's all I know.

임영민 image

임영민

So how many people know in total?

홍여주

10 people...?

임영민 image

임영민

Bingo. Actually, even Sang-Woong doesn't know. What kind of business does Han Seung-Woo's family run?

홍여주

What do you want to say?

임영민 image

임영민

Just know this. Han Seung-woo's family runs a big business.

홍여주

If it's a big business...

임영민 image

임영민

You're right. Where's the son of a conglomerate? A third-generation chaebol.

임영민 image

임영민

Oh... 4 years old? Ouch! That's not the point.

임영민 image

임영민

Han Seung-woo, first of all, he wasn't raised by his parents since he was little, but by a housekeeper? Um... in Joseon terms, a nanny? That's how he grew up.

홍여주

'I'm hearing this for the first time...'

임영민 image

임영민

So how could someone who hasn't even received parental love know love? He may seem happy as the son of a conglomerate, but inside he's just an ordinary high school boy who's rotting away.

홍여주

.....

임영민 image

임영민

Don't worry too much about what I said earlier. You already know this: there are 11 of them.

임영민 image

임영민

But don't tell anyone that you know this fact.

홍여주

Huh..? Why..?

임영민 image

임영민

Your brother is a great guy, but you're from an ordinary family, right? Just like Kim Mi-hyun.

홍여주

(shudder)

임영민 image

임영민

How do ordinary kids like you and Kim Mi-hyeon survive in this place where they grew up with parents who run businesses?

홍여주

....what is it

임영민 image

임영민

Even though you know, you pretend not to know and keep your mouth shut

임영민 image

임영민

Or you're really good at studying

임영민 image

임영민

You know what I mean?

홍여주

huh...

임영민 image

임영민

Well, watch your step. I've never seen anyone ruin their life here, but if you end up at rock bottom here, you never know what might happen.

임영민 image

임영민

Well.. Jisoo hyung is quick-witted so he's doing really well

홍여주

(shudder)

임영민 image

임영민

Then just keep quiet and understand?

홍여주

(Nodding)

임영민 image

임영민

I can hear the kids coming. Keep your mouth shut and act like nothing happened.

홍여주

huh...

임영민 image

임영민

Let's talk again later when we have a chance!

홍여주

......

홍여주

'Maybe transferring schools was even more hellish...'

홍여주

'If I had just stuck it out at that old school, maybe things would have been different...'
