- Excuse me. - Hey.
It's dangerous.
- What's going on? - Please let go of me.
- Don't we have to stop him? - Hey.
I said I was fine. Let go of me!
He really jumped out the window.
Is he not hurt?
Come down.
Lee Dong Jin?
Are there no classes in the third period?
Our homeroom teacher said so earlier.
Yes! It was a math class.
They just gathered and chatted.
No one was genuinely sad.
Let's all have a moment of silence.
(Lee Dong Jin)
At least...
one of them is.
Let's go.
Come to think of it,
I think our eyes met.
Shoot!
- Get it! - Just like that.
Get the ball!
There you go!
It was so far that I couldn't see his face.
I think our eyes met at that moment too.
Dong Jin. Try to take a photo with a unique vibe.
- Make it sentimental. - Okay.
Can you guys stand properly? There are only a few frames left.
The picnic in fall. It happened at that time too.
It felt like our eyes met.
- He's so bad. - Go!
- Hey! - Hey!
Hey!
- Hey! - Hey!
- Hey! - That was bad.
- Catch it! - Left foot!
- Just a little more. - Get it.
- Do it like this! - Darn it.
Show us!
- He'll miss. - Block it!
- Hold back! - Hey.
- Kick the ball. - Hey!
Kick the ball.
- Look carefully. - You don't have to block it.
- Look at him. - Just kick it right away.
- Be patient. - Just do it!
- Just a little more. - How?
- Shoot! - Look.
Kick it.
Here he goes.
He was always bright...
and laughing with his friends.
Watching him was as entertaining as watching TV.
(Donated by Lee Dong Jin's mother, Oh Mi Sook)
Lee Dong Jin.
It was his name.
Every day, I looked at his name...
while eating lunch.
I wanted to talk to him even just once...
before graduating.
Someone was looking this way.
It was too far to recognize the person.
But it didn't feel unfamiliar.
However,
that was the last time.
Who is it?
Lee Dong Jin?
(Midong High School)
So everyone graduated.
(Year 3 Class 3)
(Lee Dong Jin)
Lee Dong Jin.
(Lee Dong Jin)
I've never seen his face properly like this.
(Lee Dong Jin)
But he looks familiar.
I saw that face again...
after more than ten years had passed.
Why are you here?
- Don't do that. - It's dangerous.
Stop him.
No.
No, Dong Jin. Don't do that.
It was definitely Lee Dong Jin.
My goodness.
(Episode 8: Lee Dong Jin)
At least, the ambulance arrived quickly.
It's a relief.
- Hello? - Producer Heo Eun Shil?
Yes, this is me.
Do you know Lee Dong Jin?
Yes. What's the matter?
Something happened to him.
Please come to the hospital right now if you can.
(Falling into the Han River)
(No results found for "Falling into Han River")

(Lightning over the Cheonho Bridge)
(The man who escaped from the bus on the Cheonho Bridge)
(No results found...)
("Man Falls from the Cheonho Bridge, No Life-Threatening Injuries")
(At approximately 6:50pm on the 15th, a man in his 30s...)
(was rescued after jumping from a bus on the Cheonho Bridge...)
(and falling into the Han River.)
Was it because of me?
(Seun University Medical Center)
Joong Hyuk.
Did you wake up?
Why did you suddenly dive into the Han River?
Do you enjoy extreme sports or something?
No, I don't.
Then why?
I just wanted to prove the data.
What?
There's something like that. Aren't you busy?
Of course, I'm busy.
There are constant incidents and accidents happening around here.
You at least should help me out.
I got it.
I'm fine. You can go now.
Are you sure you're fine?
I'm really fine.
Are you really okay?
Hey, I'm totally fine. I'm strong.
What happened?
Are you up?
- Producer Heo. - Goodness gracious!
Who is she?
She's just a producer I know.
I'll take care of the admission paperwork for you,
so get a good rest.
Call me if anything happens.
Thank you.
Who was it?
He's my best friend, Kim Joong Hyuk.
He looks gentle and kind,
but he's actually a detective who catches criminals.
"Gentle and kind?"
I could tell he was a detective at a glance.
Right?
People's judgment seems to be pretty much the same.
Do you really want to die?
You're not helping Mi Jung at all.
You must be busy. I'm sorry for making you come.
But now,
I have to ask you a favor...
because of my state.
Don't even.
What are you trying to ask me to do this time?
There's the last variable...
I want to check.
A variable?
To verify the variable,
I need to hear it from Mi Jung herself.
Everyone who loved her even a little bit...
was hurt or died.
That's true.
Then,
what happened to people she loved?
Can you meet her on my behalf?
This is my last request.
(Cheonho-ro 29-gil)
Mi Jung, hop in the car!
It's cold. Hurry up and get in.
Why did you come all of a sudden?
Did you perhaps...
quit your job?
No.
Then...
did you break up with a boyfriend you never told me about?
- Hey! - Oh, my gosh.
I don't have a boyfriend.
I thought I'd never be able to go to Hallstatt or whatever...
if I kept living like this.
I came out because I was frustrated and sad.
You need to get some fresh air too.
In this cold weather?
And I get some fresh air every day.
I can get a lot of fresh air on the rooftop.
So are you going on a trip with me or not?
Let's go.
Shall we go?
Here we go.
It's cold.
This is nice.
Isn't it great?
Yes.
You can tell me whenever you want to go on a trip.
(Lee Dong Jin)
- Aren't you busy these days? - Hey.
I'm so busy.
I always stay up all night to edit videos.
I can't even date anyone.
So don't take a bus and wander around by yourself.
If you want to go on a trip, just tell me.
I want to get some fresh air, using you as an excuse.
Eun Shil.
Are you upset with me?
What?
No.
Have you done something wrong to me then?
Me? To you?
There's nothing like that.
Watering the plants,
looking at the sky on the rooftop,
taking a bus trip from time to time,
and taking a walk to feed the cats late at night.
It's not bad.
Something being "not bad" is different from it being "good."
You should try to do good things in life.
How can only good things happen?
The twists and turns in your life make you stronger.
I'm really fine.
So don't worry.
Mi Jung.
I know many men liked you.
But was there anyone...
you liked?
That's so random.
Tell me.
Please. I'm curious.
There was someone.
Oh, my. Really?
I had only one crush growing up.
But that was a long time ago.
I don't even know if I can call it first love.
He was an older guy from my church.
What? An older guy from church?
My gosh. That sounds like a cliché story.
- His love is blossoming - His love is blossoming
- His generosity embraces me - His generosity embraces me
Was he handsome?
I had known him ever since I was a child.
I don't care about that. So was he handsome?
- He brings comfort to my heart - He brings comfort to my heart
I just thought that he had...
a nice smile.
The truth is, I went to church every week to see him.
- He always touches our heart - He always touches our heart
- Our Father is there for us - Our Father is there for us
- In happiness and pain - In happiness and pain
You've been experiencing fewer seizures lately, right?
Yes. It improved quite a lot.
Even so, you must take the medicine regularly.
Take one more tablet of this if the seizures continue.
Okay.
I explained to your mother about the additional prescription.
Okay. Thank you.
Bye.
Mi Jung.
Hello.
What brings you to the pharmacy?
My dad's teeth have been acting up, so I'm here to buy some medicine.
I see.
I'll see you around.
That's when...
I found out that he had epilepsy.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
Time continued to pass when I hadn't had...
a proper conversation with him.
(Congratulations on your acceptance to Hanguk University!)
(Year 3, Im Ik Jong)
I thought I wouldn't be able to see him often...
once he went to Seoul.
But...
Mi Jung.
He approached me first once again.
Can we talk for a moment?
I wrote this. It'll be useful.
(English Key Points)
Take it. This is nothing.
Just take a look.
It'd be nice if we could go to the same university later.
Ik Jong.
Hey.
Then he had an incident...
just like all the others...
who had approached me.
I was worried,
so I went to his house with the medicine for epilepsy.
But I didn't have the courage to ask for him.
After he was discharged from the hospital,
he quietly left the village.
Then several years later,
I met him again.
Mi Jung.
I didn't think I properly congratulated you the other day.
Good job studying hard in that small, rural village.
Well done.
How kind of you.
Your notes helped me a lot.
Thank you.
What? My notes?
What notes?
Your notes on key points of comprehensive English studies.
Comprehensive English studies...
Right. I gave them to you. Yes.
Mi Jung, our university has an alumni association...
for people from Taebaek.
I don't rarely go to their meetings.
But it'll be nice if you attend them.
You might be able to find people...
who can help you get around Seoul.
Anyway, that's it. I'll get going.
See you around. Bye.
When I saw that he didn't remember giving me his notes,
I was over my crush completely then.
Hold on. So...
your handsome first love...
was Im Ik Jong from our department?
You really have low standards.
He's the one who started the rumor in our department.
That I'm a witch?
What? You knew about that?
You know, rumors spread like wildfire.
Even if he hadn't started it,
the rumor would have spread somehow.
My gosh. Listening to you is making me angrier.
It's already in the past, anyway.
He liked you too.
How awful of him not to remember the notes?
Hold on.
That doesn't align with the propositions...
Something doesn't add up.
What? What do you mean?
Let me check a few things.
Just answer them as how you remember.
Was the church big?
How big was it? As big as the rooftop?
Well,
I think it was about the same size.
But why do you ask?
How long was the service? About 30 minutes?
About an hour.
(1. Being within a 10m radius of her for over 10 minutes is dangerous.)
But why do you ask?
Did you talk to other people at church?
How many exchanges within the conversation?
Was it more than ten?
Right.
We used to have refreshments all the time after the service.
Im Ik Jong. I doubt you didn't know his name.
(3. If she knows your name, it is dangerous.)
Then...
did he confess his feelings to you?
That he liked you?
(4. Confessing your feelings to her is dangerous.)
He practically did.
"He practically did?"
Did he tell you about his feelings or not?
I told you that he gave me his notes.
(Notes)
How come he didn't die?
What?
Nothing.
(5. Breaking all of these rules will result in death.)
(English Key Points)
(Im Ik Jong)
(English Key Points)
What is it this time?
My gosh. I'm already busy enough as it is.
Make it quick.
I don't think there are some parts you left out.
Is that so? Did I now?
So what did I leave out?
It turns out that wasps hibernate in winter.
What's your point?
Why did you say you were stung by a bee?
This is just crazy.
I never said that.
When I woke up in the hospital,
that's what everyone thought happened to me.
And I never corrected it.
Then...
Right.
I didn't get stung by a bee that day.
You've been experiencing fewer seizures lately, right?
Yes. It improved quite a lot.
Even so, you must take the medicine regularly.
Take one more tablet of this...
- if the seizures continue. - Okay.
I explained to your mother...
about the additional prescription.
(Prescription)
Okay. Thank you.
It was nothing to be embarrassed about.
But back then, I was insecure about it.
I didn't tell anyone that I was taking medicine for epilepsy.
To be honest, she was the last person I wanted...
to find out about my condition.
It'd be nice...
if we could go to the same university later.
Ik Jong.
Ik Jong. Wake up!
Ik Jong.
- Ik Jong. What's the matter? - Ik Jong.
Hey, what's wrong?
- What? - I don't know.
I think he was stung by a wasp.
A wasp?
Why is there a wasp in the middle of winter?
- Get him up. - Okay.
All right.
Get him on my back.
I was grateful that she lied to me to keep my secret.
But so what?
It's not like I asked her to lie for me.
Then why did you act as if it happened because of her?
Did you sacrifice her just to cover up your condition?
I heard you even started the rumor when you were in college.
Do you have any idea...
how much that rumor tormented Park Mi Jung?
Right.
But do you believe that rumor?
Do you think that's just a rumor?
What?
Park Mi Jung is indeed a witch.
According to the rules I've discovered,
you should have died no matter what...
whether you were struck by lightning or drowned.
You broke all of the rules.
You were in the same space with her for a long time.
You had a lengthy conversation.
She knew your name.
And you confessed...
your feelings to her.
But despite that, you're still alive.
Hold on.
I confessed my feelings to her?
- You did. - I did?
When did I do that?
(English Key Points)
Why do you have this notebook?
(English Key Points)
(Im Ik Jong)
("When you get tired, smile.")
(I used to tell myself that when I was studying for my exams.)
(When things get tough, smile!)
(I'll wait for you in Seoul.)
You broke all of the rules, but you survived.
(I like you, Park Mi Jung.)
Then there's only one possibility.
The possibility that you didn't satisfy a major premise.
My dear junior, Dong Jin.
Try to make some sense. Please?
Did you even like her?
My gosh. This is so childish.
Why do you keep talking about my high school days? Darn it.
Did you really like her?
You're driving me crazy.
(Do you think he will apologize?)
(Every rock singer...)
(When things get tough, smile!)
(I'll wait for you in Seoul. I like you, Park Mi Jung.)
I wrote this to her because I liked her.
Do you think I didn't mean this?
Why do you think I wanted to hide my condition from Mi Jung?
Because I liked her back then.
This isn't fair.
What did you say?
I'm turning into a mess,
so I can just have a chance to talk to her.
Don't you still get it?
Why you were the only exception?
You don't deserve to be her variable.
Then...
do you think you deserve it?
Did Park Mi Jung ask you for your help?
I...
If your hypotheses are indeed true,
you might die too. Am I wrong?
You should stop now.
It looks like you're playing with fire.

The variable...
was her feelings.
Only the one she loves can break the rule.
There's only one method.
And that is for her to love me.
I'm betting everything on the last variable.

Ms. Park.
It's me. The delivery man from Hyomyung Mart.
"The delivery man?"
Lee Dong Jin.
So it was you.
I came because I had something to tell you.
You were...
on the Cheonho Bridge, right?
Are you all right now?
I wanted to be of help to you.
But I'm terribly sorry.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
To say what I wanted,
I've worked out to get stronger...
and made many preparations.
Wait.
Don't do it.
Don't say anything.
As...
you were directly involved,
you must've had a faint idea.
Please stop.
But...
those events weren't caused by you.
Go back.
Please.
I wanted...
to tell you this in person.
It's a gift for you from the guys in Taebaek.
And...
there's something I'd like to risk my whole life to say.
But I won't do it today.
Mi Jung.
Do what you've always wanted to do.
It's okay to do that.
I'm serious.
I spoke more than ten words again.
(Start, Reset)
I have a long way to go.
Let's get going.
(Under Construction)
I told you, didn't I?
You have a simple pattern.
(Hanyang Logistics)
(Special thanks to Shim So Young.)
(Heo Eun Shil)
My name is Heo Eun Shil.
What brings you here?
Mr. Lee Dong Jin is missing.
He might be dead.
I'm talking about your friend, Lee Dong Jin.
(Lee Dong Jin: I'm going to her.)
It's my house.
Why are you eating alone? That's no fun.
Kim Joong Hyuk. That's your name, right?
Hey. Why are you eating alone? That's no fun.
What if there's a dead body?
He was adamant about renting this particular room.
What is this?
"Shine on you?"
Is it a coincidence?
It's the same translator.
(Translated by Park Mi Jung)
I get it now.
I know the reason why Mr. Lee left clues for you, Mr. Kim.
