(I’ve always had a crush on you, Pear.)
Let me go!
I told you to stop!
Pisaeng, stop avoiding your own feelings
before you hurt more people.
Pear.
I never think of you as more than a friend.
Because you like someone else, right?
Damn you, Kawi.
I was trying to get you a girl last night.
But you just disappeared.
Oh, please.
You don’t have to be so serious about that, Not.
Where did you sleep last night by the way?
My room.
Why?
He failed.
The girl ditched him.
He danced all night and got nothing.
Kawi.
Can I have a word with you?
I thought about what you said last night.
You might be right.
I’m not being clear about my relationship,
both with Pear and with someone else too.
It could be because I'm afraid.
Not only am I afraid of unintentionally hurting people.
But I’m afraid…
I don’t know what I’m afraid of.
Have you talked to Pear?
I told her I didn’t have feelings for her.
What about you?
What about me?
Do you really like Pear?
[Bodkawee’s Diary]
[Time Travel Journal]
(Thanks to time travel,
I am able to resume writing
after neglecting it for years.)
(Although its first purpose was just to keep records of the missions,
doing something I hadn't done in a long time fills my heart with joy.)
(At the beginning of my time travel,
I assumed there was nothing a man who’d previously lived like me couldn't change.)
Miss, do you have the lotto tickets with these numbers?
(In fact, no matter how much magic power I have…)
I did have them.
These numbers, exactly.
They were all sold.
(I can’t change everything.)
No.
No, bro. These are all I have.
Do you want some other tickets?
Kawi.
Here.
You said you wanted to read this book.
I happen to have it. You can borrow mine.
Hey.
Thank you, Pear.
And this one is my favorite.
Give it a try.
(Though the thing between Pear and me hasn’t met my expectation yet,
it’s going pretty well.)
(As for things with Pisaeng…)
(I suppose they’re changing for the better.)
(The hardest thing for me right now is to restrain myself.)
(There are times I want to check if my life in the future is any better.)
(But to keep the power of the crystal ball music box from running out too early,
I will not go back and check until I’ve completed all the missions.)
That’s it.
But this time, can you breathe more deeply?
Okay. Sure.
Let’s try one more time.
Okay.
[We’re Accepting Student Representatives Applications.]
Why do you look stressed?
Isn’t Pear going out with you now?
She isn’t.
We’re just talking.
And?
Is she showing signs she might ditch you?
No.
I just want to be good enough for her.
What the heck are you talking about?
Hey.
Pear will shine so bright in the future.
She will be very pretty and smart.
And I’ll be just a subtitler.
Hey.
You don’t know what your future holds.
And so what if you’re a subtitler?
Pear doesn’t say that’s bad, right?
She doesn’t have to say it.
I can come up with that myself.
The point is our differences.
Pear is very determined.
And she is stepping ahead steadily.
But I don’t even know which way I should go.
Kawi.
Seriously.
Why are you worried about the future that hasn’t yet come?
But the future comes more quickly than you think.
Trust me.
I'm doing what I'm doing now with the hopes that my life will improve.
Or I’ll just go down in flames as always.
Hey.
Or should I…
apply for a student representative?
Huh?
Think about it.
If someone like me wants a better life,
I must find my turning point.
It must be big enough to change my life.
Let’s suppose, just suppose…
that I’m a student representative now.
Of course, my future can’t be anything else but brilliant.
Whatever you say then.
[Be a student representative.]
It can’t be that hard.
Talents?
Darn it.
Why do people need to have talents?
Look closely.
I’m going to link these rings.
They are two separate ones now.
Ta-da.
You know?
What’s more pointless than your magic trick?
You applying for a student rep.
Why?
Do you think that’ll make you look cooler?
No.
Just want to give it a try.
Right.
Come to think of it.
It’s good you’re applying.
Right?
The title sounds a bit embarrassing but…
it can’t be that bad.
You’re going to humiliate yourself in front of the crowd.
I will set up a camera just to record that.
Good idea.
I’ll upload it on YouTube.

The book I wrote.
Newly published.
You’re giving it to me?
Heck, yeah.
I'll always remember that you were my reader since it was online
and left comments saying it sucked in every episode.
Well.
My table legs are uneven.
I’ll just slip your book under it.
Pear.
Take one.
The publisher gave me a lot.
I don’t know who else I should give it to.
You can read it when you have time.
I don’t usually read this kind of novel.
But I’ll give it a try.
Thanks, Not.
Good job.
It’s fine if you read and don’t like it.
It isn't one of those easy-to-read books everyone can comprehend.
Hey, what’s up, David Copperfield?
Kawi.
Hm?
Did you just apply for a student rep?
I just want to try it out.
That’s great.
It never hurts to try.
What page is it?
49.
Look closely.
Here they are, separate.
Not smooth at all.
Again.
Here they are, separate.
Ow!
Why is it so hard?
What are you doing?
Aren’t you going home?
Waiting for Pear to finish her personality workshop.
If it’s so hard and not your specialty,
why are you wasting your time on it?
I must find something to input in the application.
Trust me.
No one reads that. You can just fill in whatever you want.
Paper plane origami, tongue rolling, whistling, anything.
You don’t need to think too much.
Easy for you to say because you’re so privileged.
The seniors won’t mind whatever you put in.
I’m not you.
If I want to compete, I must really be good at something.
Like this.
Why aren’t you showing what you’re good at?
Because there’s none.
There is.
I remember the day we had the interview with the seniors...
Stop it.
Don’t talk about it.
I forgot all about it.
Hey.
You guys are here.
What to grab something to eat?
Excuse me, Pear.
I got something to do.
What now?
Are you gonna say it or not?
Stop walking back and forth. It’s annoying.
I don’t know what to do with someone that likes me.
Tell me who it is first.
Or we’re not talking.
Come on, Max.
Just tell that person you’re not interested.
I can’t.
That person hasn’t confessed to me yet.
What?
Then how did you know that person likes you?
I know, all right.
What kind of guy friend likes to follow me around like that?
Shit.
Did I just slip out he’s a guy?
Forget the sexual orientation.
But as far as I know, I don’t think the problem is with him.
It’s solely with you.
Are you…Pisaeng?
What am I even doing?
If it’s so hard and not your specialty,
why aren’t you showing what you’re good at?
[Bodkawee’s Diary]
Bodkawee, do you have a talent?
My talent…
I like writing songs.
Hey. That’s cool!
Sing us a song that you wrote.
Sing it.
Okay.
Slow down.
♪ From someone so boring ♪
♪ Lifeless and uninteresting ♪
♪ To someone who frequently smiles ♪
Hey.
Is that a sound of a mosquito flying?
Hey, don’t tease your friend.
Bodkawee, please continue.
That was about it.
(On the day I realized that we were just small human-beings
who weren’t as talented as we thought,
I just hoped the world was a bit nicer to us.)
(That way we could at least be a bit more encouraged to live the life we wanted.)
I don’t think the problem is with him.
It’s solely with you.
What do you mean?
You said it yourself that you tried hard to get people to open up to you.
Pearmai,
your father,
and me.
Everyone must give you a chance.
But think about this.
When it’s your turn to give people chances,
you just somehow learn that he might like you,
and you suddenly put up your wall against him.
He hasn’t even done you any harm yet.
[Kawi: Where are you?]
[The book sucks.]
[It’s so-so. The publisher should’ve found a better book to publish.]
[Such a waste of money.]
I’m excited.
You look great today.
Really?
Let me check again just to be sure.
I need to take a deep breath.
Pear.
It’s the student rep selection day.
Aren’t you going?
I am.
I’m waiting for Kawi.
Good luck.
I hope you get it.
Thank you.
Pear,
have you read my book?
Not yet.
I haven’t got time.
Pear.
Hey. Here you are.
I’ll get going now.
Go kill.
I will.
Yeah.
Let’s go.
I’ll be cheering for you.
I’m not so confident.
You can do it.
What?
Here.
Sign it for me.
I tease you a little too much sometimes.
But you’re great.
Do I look like I need encouragement?
Everyone needs encouragement.
And it doesn’t even cost that much.
I don’t get why it’s so hard for people to give each other that.
Last night, when you saw me,
I was just there to take a look around.
I was there for a second and left.
You’re not going to tell anyone, are you?
And why would I tell anyone that
when I’m barely talking to people in the faculty?
What are you afraid of?
Nothing.
I’m not afraid.
I just don’t want you to get the wrong idea.
About what?
I…
Listen.
There are wars going on around the world.
Our politics are crap.
People get locked up because they voice their opinions.
Ice is melting at the poles
People are killing people because of race or religion.
Who are you?
Are you that important?
Why do you even think other people would care where you go or what you do?
You’re right.
It’s just what I do.
It’s nothing important.
I’m sorry.
I didn’t mean to.
I was just…being irritated.
I was wrong.
I shouldn’t have judged you so quickly.
If you have something to tell me, you can.
Though we aren’t close,
I can listen.
Actually, I went there last night
to find the answer to what is happening to me.
Um.
Did you find it?
If you want the answer, you don’t need to bring your body anywhere.
[Not: Break a leg.]
Please turn off your phone.
My apologies.
You didn’t fill in the talent field.
Do you have any?
I don’t know if we can call it talent.
I usually spend my free time writing songs.
Can we please hear it?
Of course.

(Maybe my expectation was wrong.)
(This world is just a planet.)
(It can’t be nice to us.)
(It’s our duty
to be nice to other people.)
(Or at least be nice to ourselves.)
The names I just called are those who have been selected.
Please stay on.
As for those whose names weren’t called, you’re free to leave this room.
Every one of you did great.
Thank you so much for applying.
Pear.
Congrats.
Are you okay, Kawi?
Of course, I am.
It’s not like they can choose everyone.
[Pisaeng: Come see me at the faculty building rooftop.]
Pear.
Give me a call when you’re done.
I need to go now.
Pisaeng.
How did it go?
What’s the result?
I didn’t pass.
Yeah?
Pisaeng.
I’m sorry.
I told you to act normal
but actually, it’s me who doesn’t act normal.
I’m sorry.
Kawi.
I have something important to say to you as well.
I have no idea when it happened.
But it happened.
Get it out,
if it’s going to make things easier.
I will listen.
And I promise I won’t be mean to you anymore.
I like you.
I really don’t know when this feeling started.
But it did.
And I understand if you want to stay away
and don’t want anything to do with me anymore.
But I can’t stop my feelings.
Though I know you will reject me no matter what,
I want to say it.
I’m sorry.
Don’t apologize to me.
Liking someone isn’t something wrong.
But you know what’s bad?
It’s when you like someone and don’t say it.
Thank you for telling me honestly.
But I think you know I can’t accept your feelings.
I can be your friend though.
If that’s okay with you.
I’m okay.
[Pear: Where are you, Kawi? Should I go to you instead?]
Pear, sorry. Did I keep you waiting?
Not at all.
Here.
Oops.
Thanks.
(I used to believe what people wanted the most was miracles.)
(When in fact, chances are more crucial.)
(Chances to realize,
to understand,
and to embrace everything that happens to them.)
We’ve arrived.
This is the first time I walk home.
I just knew that we could walk quite far when walking with a friend.
I’m sorry I don’t have a car to drive you home.
Hey. It’s totally fine.
This is fun.
Let’s walk together again next time.
Okay.
I’ll just get inside.
Get home safe, Kawi.
This is Fluke.
He’s a guitarist from the bar.
Do you remember him?
I do.
On the student reps selection date, he was helping out backstage.
He heard you sing.
So he wants to ask if he can add the melody to the song you wrote.
What?
My song?
Yes.
I’ve been wanting to produce a new song.
I just couldn’t come up with any idea.
But once I heard your song, I knew it.
It hit hard.
Besides, your voice is pretty nice.
Are you interested to be my band’s vocalist?
Are you?
Come on.
Me?
Yes.
You.
I can’t sing all the time. My voice can’t bear it.
If you join us, trust me, we will be famous.
It’s true. We will go so far.
Me?
I’m going to make your band famous?
Hell, yes.
Listen to me.
Your song is okay. Your voice is nice.
Give me ‘Do.’
Do…
Do, do…
There it is.
That’s it. Your voice is great.
And the most important thing is…
Your face.
You’re such a cute boy.
Girls will scream for you.
Boys will, too.
I’ll even scream for you.
Believe me.
Do you think it’s okay?
I’m not sure.
You mean him, right?
No.
I mean me.
Give it a try.
If it doesn’t work, you can always back off.
Yes.
I’ll try.
Yes!
Awesome.
We’ll be famous.
So famous.
Hold on.
Are you worried or something?
Don’t be. All right?
Just have fun.
Now try again.

Let’s hit a gaming café.
Max.
I’ll wait downstairs.
Yeah.
Are you Bodkawee?
I’m Pisaeng.
Okay.
Hey,
the seniors suggested that freshmen pair up and take turns taking each other home.
No. My dorm is just nearby.
Our classmates will have dinner together. You coming?
No.
Pisaeng, I have something to tell you.
(Things have finally come to this point.)
(Do you want to know how Pisaeng and I will be?)
Why do you like me?
(I want to know as well.)
