[Drama Recap] School 2015: Who Are You: Episode 14

Eun Byul wants to know if Eun Bi had a hard time there and So Young enters the conversation letting Eun Byul know that Yi Ahn got into an accident and gave up the tournament while returning back school to save Eun Bi. At that time he already knew that she was Eun Bi and not Eun Byul! So Young would like to know whether Yi Ahn likes Eun Bi or Eun Byul! I like it every time he refers to So Young as transfer student, the way Yi Ahn utters is deeply degrading and paces perfectly well with So Young’s essence! He’s definitive, he has no reason to let her know the answer to her question, it’s not something that has nothing to do with her. So Young throws the ball at Eun Byul trying to make her keep up from where her own thoughts ended, but it’s not working.

So Young considers her a liar and thinks that she should take better care of her facial expressions while lying, it’s something that enrages Eun Byul who grabs her from her from the shirt’s neck and pushes her backwards because nobody messes with Eun Byul, especially when that someone almost killed her sister and is fooling around with Yi Ahn’s mind who’s been close to her more than anyone else for the last 10 years! So Young tries to hit Eun Byul once again, but for one more time our girl wrist-grabs her and lets her know that she doesn’t want to interfere with her hobby, but she should start searching for someone else while she’s still being nice to her. Eun Byul pushes her away and the message is delivered in case she doesn’t intend to follow Eun Byul’s advice. Yi Ahn didn’t have anything to say, Eun Byul took care of everything and left So Young behind boiling in her own dysfunctional torrent!

 

Yi Ahn is stunned by Eun Byul’s good old grandeur and she wants to know about his shoulder, but he was hurting way before the accident took place. Eun Byul’s curious about Tae Gwang’s attitude in general, she was surprised by the way he reacted when he found out that the girl in front of him was Eun Byul and not Eun Bi and all he wanted to know was her location and left right away to find her in Tongyeong and eventually slept there. She thinks that he went loonier while she was away and if he tries to come near her he won’t enjoy it! Yi Ahn’s lost in his own thoughts while taking into consideration Eun Byul’s information on Eun Bi and Tae Gwang.

Eun Bi wants Tae Gwang to leave for now, but he won’t return to class even if he leaves now! Her reaction points towards one direction, Tae Gwang leaving and he can’t act otherwise but accept her decision! Ra Jin and the other two musketeers will lead Tae Gwang towards the bus terminal on their way to school! Considering Ra Jin way more trustworthy than him points towards the direction that she sees him like a gigantic little kiddo at this very moment and she treats him likewise! Before leaving Tae Gwang wanted to know if she’ll return back to Seoul, but since she didn’t offer an answer he let her know that he’ll be waiting for her!

Min Joon informs everyone that it’s going to be a self-studying day. One of his classmates has some questions and since the teacher’s not there Min Joon’s willing to help him! Min Joon has applied to enter a sports club to learn badminton, his change for the better has already began and he’s also socializing instead of being enclosed in notebooks all the time! Hae Na wants Gi Tae to take off the buttons in order to boast about his T-shirt, but he’s resisting. However, Hae Na’s quirky and forceful reactions let their friends witness their couple T-shirts, the ones Gi Tae wanted to make a few episodes ago! Gi Tae’s losing himself in depths of awkwardness while Hae Na highly enjoys the moment urging him to smile, or else…! Teacher Kim has appeared in front of Min Joon’s father at the police station and it’s all about Soo In’s case. He wanted the school year to end first and then appear in front of justice, but he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Mi Gyeong informs Eun Bi over the phone that the correction for her social security number has been accomplished, it’s something that had to be done in order for Eun Bi to move on as Eun Bi and it was one of the first accomplished steps in their mother-daughter relationship with Eun Bi actually being Eun Bi. She doesn’t want her to worry about anything, she’s aware of her dream to become a teacher and urges her to study hard from now on. Mi Gyeong intends to file an adoption form, but Eun Bi’s at loss for words for a while and Mi Gyeong wonders whether she intends to return back to Seoul or not. Eun Bi needs some time to think and she’s apologetic, but Mi Gyeong is understanding . Ra Jin overheard their conversation and she will probably play her own part in Eun Bi returning back to Seoul and finally being a part of a loving family by changing Eun Bi’s probable decision of staying at the orphanage.

Eun Bi goes to the memorial that was supposed to be Eun Byul’s, but under her own name, it’s an emotional closure. She finds Oh Jung Ha, the girl Eun Bi protected and started getting bullied in her place. Whenever Jung Ha thought of her she was visiting the memorial, but she always thought it might not had been her and that’s why she’s not quite shocked seeing Eun Bi there. Until the day Eun Bi left school she hated herself for being unable to help and ever since she found out she went missing she went out to the beach daily. She was there when the body was found, at first she thought it was her, but even if it wasn’t she wanted to punish So Young who was showing no remorse about anything and she placed there Eun Bi’s name tag that she had found at the school’s yard. She can’t hold back her tears and Eun Bi tries to ease her burden, being bullied and how hard and scary it is; both of them know it really well and she can’t hold back her tears either. Jung Ha wanted to help Eun Bi countless times, but she couldn’t and she’s apologetic for everything. She’s crying her heart out and Eun Bi holds her in her embrace unable to hold back her own tears.

Eun Byul’s hanging around with Yi Ahn and Song Joo alongside Shi Jin join their company! Song Joo wonders whether they made up or not after fighting and they actually don’t know what to say, but Yi Ahn covers it up! Shi Jin thinks that nothing could ever go wrong between them, but Eun Byul disagress, she did something wrong to Yi Ahn, but she’s unable to utter words leaving them wondering where did Eun Byul’s suave side go, especially after she regained her memories and embraced anew her good old rude self!

 

The coach would like Yi Ahn to be more cheerful, Yi Ahn was mentally prepared to face the accident’s impact on his body while swimming for the first time after all this time and he knew it wouldn’t be like before, but feeling it physically wasn’t the most welcome sensation! Yi Ahn lets his coach know that he doesn’t intend to step back once again, he’s made his decision. That’s the attitude he wants to see from Yi Ahn and the rest will flow according to plan! It’s time for him to rest, but his mind can’t for the time being, he’s wielding the medal Eun Bi gave him and her words echo once again in his mind, her unconditional caring had a big impact on him.

 

Eun Bi has returned back to the orphanage and he’s wielding her own swimming medal and Ra Jin immediately recognizes that it was the one that was next to her picture at the memorial. Even though it was a present she received back then, she intends to return it to its rightful owner. It’s Eun Bi’s flashback turn to dwell in the recent past and she recalls Yi Ahn’s message after she bid him farewell while leaving with the bus. Ra Jin wants to know if Eun Bi wants to go to Seoul, but even though she’s negative Ra Jin understands much more than Eun Bi thinks, she would like Eun Bi to be with her mother and her friends in Seoul, she’s not worried about her now that she’s alive. She’s well aware that Eun Bi must attend school and see her friends once again and she doesn’t have to stay at the orphanage because of Ra Jin and the rest of her little friends. However, she must promise that on their birthdays, during Children’s Day and Xmas period she will be paying them a visit. Ra Jin is a great kiddo and she deeply loves Eun Bi whom she urges to make a promise that will be crucial for her life.

Tae Gwang’s inside his big but so empty room and he’s reading anew the documents concerning Soo In’s death. Teacher Kim hands over his letter of resignation, but Tae Gwang’s father thinks it’s unnecessary since he will receive a light punishment and there won’t be an uproar. Teacher Kim emphasizes that he will receive punishment by law whereas Tae Gwang’s father disagrees since he considers it an accident and he didn’t leave her there alone on purpose. He didn’t cover it up for his personal gain, he had to do it for the school and the students, but for teacher Kim as well. Teacher Kim points out they hid the incident and even in death, Soo In remained forgotten just like she was being ignored while she was alive. Teacher Kim has violated the child welfare law, Soo In should had bee protected from the school no matter what, but this is not what happened. If Tae Gwang’s father is not willing to move on, Teacher Kim will be the one to put an end to it once and for all.

Tae Gwang’s eating and Yi Ahn goes to see him and while staring at him Tae Gwang wonders whether he’s so good-looking or not so that he can’t look away! Yi Ahn’s aware that Tae Gwang went to see Eun Bi and Tae Gwang let him know that he can’t get in touch with her because she changed her phone number. Tae Gwang wonders whether Yi Ahn is mad or envious because he went to see Eun Bi, but that’s not the case, all he wants to know is if she’s doing well and keeps asking him until he receives a positive answer.

 

So Young informs one of her peasants on the latest events over the phone and that she’s well aware that Eun Bi’s back to Tongyeong, but Eun Byul overhears her conversation, it’s not only So Young’s benefit! She wants her previous school subordinates to give a proper welcoming “party” to Eun Bi, the resurrected loser! Eun Byul takes the mobile phone off her hands and cracks in on the floor, crushing it with her foot! Eun Byul questions her if it hurts to have hers stepped on and she’s well aware that So Young would like to kill her at that very moment and of course the answer is positive. She asks So Young how was she supposed to feel when she steps on her sister and emphasizes on the fact that she’d like to kill her too over a useless phone. Did she ever think how Eun Byul might be feeling every time she stares at So Young? Apparently she’s at loss for words and wants her to remove her foot, but Eun Byul kicks away her mobile phone leaving her behind in tears of wrath.

Tae Gwang wants to meet Eun Byul and there she is, but she doesn’t understand the reason why since they never were in good terms. Tae Gwang asks her how much does she know about Soo In’s case and if she knows how much the principal is involved in it, but she’s unaware of the details. When the results of the autopsy came out her estimated time of death wasn’t the one everyone thought it would be whereas Soo In’s family believed she died during class time. Eun Byul points out there’s no proof, but she’s unaware of the information Tae Gwang possesses in his hands. They fabricated her time of death in order to make it look as if she died all alone later on that night and not earlier as expected.

Teacher Kim’s drinking soju all alone and Tae Gwang appears and wants to drink too, teacher Kim makes it look as if he’d pour him some soju and eventually hits him in the head with the bottle! Students are not supposed to drink, but he was so happy thinking that the teacher might have poured him some, even if that thought lasted for just a few seconds! Teacher Kim refers to the Soo in incident when he couldn’t protect her back then, if he gathers up his courage by saying the truth he will be taking away another student’s father from him. In order to take away one student’s pain he will end up hurting another student and he doesn’t want that, he can’t differentiate two students because he cares for them equally. Tae Gwang points out that it’s the father of the student who caused the problem, had he been teacher Kim he would say to the student to try to convince his father one last time before it’s too late.

Tae Gwang’s father is drinking all alone and his son goes to see him. He shows his father the documents he photographed and he gets pissed off while referring to Tae Gwang as a son who doesn’t know how to do anything. He thinks Tae Gwang uses these documents as his weakness to threaten him and wants to know what he wants him to do. He doesn’t know the answer, so he wants to know what his father intends to do. He hates his father and he thought that had he fallen into ruin he would be the happiest person on earth, but even with all this proof in his hands he wonders why he can’t do anything. He wants his father to give him an answer while he can barely hold his tears from falling. He leaves his phone there to make the choice on his own, whether he deletes them or acts otherwise it’s up to him, but that will be the answer to his question.

Eun Bi’s little friends have fallen asleep and she’s measuring the weight of her forthcoming decision while caressing Ra Jin’s hair, she’s dear to her heart. The day of the big decision has arrived and she’s returning back to Seoul, it’s time to bid farewell her little friends for now, but in 14 days she will get to see them again! The next morning Tae Gwang’s going to school and witnesses some police officers that just arrived, they are here for his father. Tae Gwang tried to reach him before them taking him away, but they exchanged stares while leaving and silence was more powerful than any words at that moment. Yi Ahn noticed Tae Gwang’s special interest towards the principal.

At the police station Tae Gwang’s father handed over the original document of Soo In’s autopsy and not the falsified ones used to cover up the incident. He intends to receive the whole punishment on his own since he was the one who tried to cover up the fact that she died during class time. The officer mentions that teacher Kim knows the truth about the whole incident as well since he was her homeroom teacher, so he can’t escape punishment for the crime of remaining silent. The principal states that teacher Kim didn’t remain silent and that he was the one to have stopped him with his power and authority every time he tried to reveal the whole truth and he wants the police force to leave him out of the case.

Yi Ahn’s out with Eun Byul and she wants to know if his rehabilitation’s flowing well, Yi Ahn can only be positive about it! Eun Byul wonders how well Yi Ahn thinks he knows her. He thinks he knew everything when they were younger, but for now he can’t be sure. Before all these recent events came to the surface he didn’t even know about what she was going through. As for Eun Bi, he points out that she must be happy since she has a sister like Eun Byul who watches after her. Eun Byul points out that Eun Bi started getting bullied because she protected someone from getting bullied whereas Eun Byul was the other way around, she turned her back on a friend in need. She wants to know Yi Ahn’s opinion on who he thinks is the most unhappy out of the two, but his answer is diplomatic making Eun Byul question him if he’s disappointed in her, but he must have expectations in order to be disappointed! Eun Byul points out that she feels a lot better now that she’s come clean to Yi Ahn and smiles at him, but we can’t say the same for Yi Ahn who’s lost in his thoughts.

Eun Bi asks Mi Gyeong about her stuffed animal, Eun Byul had put it in her mother’s room since she sneezes a lot when there’s fur and dust! Mi Gyeong’s curious about who gave it to her and she says that it was a gift from a friend! Eun Bi passes by Yi Ahn’s training center and left something for him at the reception, but Yi Ahn appears! Both of them want to say something and Eun Bi lets him talk first and lets her know that he started rehabilitation, making Eun Bi quite happy who thinks he did it because Eun Byul returned back home. Even though Eun Bi thinks she wasn’t the one to have made him do it she’s still happy for him. She hands him over the box which has the medal he had given her in order to return it to its rightful owner, it’s a promise he made and he should keep it.

She wants to know if it’s better now that he sees her face even though Eun Byul’s return doesn’t change the fact that she lied. Yi Ahn states that he really had a hard time because of her, but he changes the way he wants to present his thoughts. He admits he was confused and said harsh thing to her, but he would never want her to leave, it would relieve him. She’s thankful for that and points out she won’t be avoiding him anymore! Both of them are relieved and happy!

However, while Eun Bi was waiting at the bus stop she noticed the news on Tae Gwang’s father getting arrested and calls him right away on the phone, but he doesn’t answer and in fact he’s not sleeping, he’s in pain, physical pain. Eun Bi insists and he manages to answer the phone, but he faints and Eun Bi notices that something’s not right. Tae Gwang gets transferred to the hospital with Eun Bi being by his side. At that moment a phone call from his mother arrives.

Eun Byul’s at home and she found out the card-note Soo In’s ghost left for her that even if she pretends not to see her she’s still her best friend. Tae Gwang’s mother comes to see her son and shows part of her affection towards him, but she doesn’t stay long. On her way out Eun Bi was waiting for her and introduces herself. His mother’s aware that Eun Bi probably knows a lot about Tae Gwang since she’s not surprised to see her. She refers to Tae Gwang’s past and that he was such a bright and happy child. After they got a divorce Tae Gwang’s world collapsed and he went though a lot of heartache. Because of her job even, though she was aware of Tae Gwang’s pain and hardships, she couldn’t be there for him unaware of how much she would scar her child’s fragile soul. She says she doesn’t even have the right to be regretful, but on a day like today she’s glad that Tae Gwang has a friend by his side. She’s thankful towards Eun Bi and she wants her to give Tae Gwang something.

Tae Gwang wakes up and finds Eun Bi by his side who was worrying about him, but he’s more than glad she came without him calling her. Even though she was so worried about him Tae Gwang states that she can’t even like him and how could she act like that. It’s something that makes Eun Bi question him if she should go, but the answer could only be negative from Tae Gwang who was thankful towards her and placed her hand in his, now he can be at ease and rest.

Eun Byul went to Soo In’s home to find teacher Jung there. She goes to her room where she spent lots of time with Soo In and by the time she sees pictures they got together were still there at the bedside table Teacher Jung lets her know that ever since Soo In left them she kept organizing her room, her blog, her journal and she would find Eun Byul’s name everywhere. The time Soo In spent with Eun Byul was filled with her happiest memories. We dive back in the past where we witness Soo In and Eun Byul listening music and singing together while having fun, Soo In had even recorded this happy moment!

Eun Byul recalls some moments she turned her back on Soo In and she can’t hold back her tears as she goes through Soo In’s recorded thoughts. How many feels are hiding in that scene? These recordings were the reason why teacher Jung was being so stubborn about it because Soo In considered Eun Byul her only real friend. Had she approached her a little bit more things could had been different, that’s the only thing teacher Jung ever wanted. Eun Byul cries her heart out on her knees and teacher Jung takes her in her embrace recognizing that it must had been very hard for her as well. She’s apologetic towards Eun Byul who can’t stop crying.

Yi Ahn’s medals possess lots of memories. He recalls the first time he wanted to give it to Eun Byul that night at the field trip and with the other medal he dives in the mind-awakening moment with Eun Bi when she unconditionally lifted his spirit up and didn’t let him look down on himself. It’s a tough crossroad for him and he places both medals in a row.

Tae Gwang’s back home, but he doesn’t feel like eating and calls Eun Bi pretending to be so sick he can’t even lift his chopsticks! They hang out together and they’re picking up the crabs they are about to eat and tells her that one of them looks like her, after the dumpling it’s the crab! Tae Gwang eats as if he hasn’t eaten for days making Eun Bi ask him if he really doesn’t have an appetite! Tae Gwang points out that it was probably because he couldn’t eat alone and back home he really didn’t have an appetite! If he faints this time she won’t come so he should better start taking care of himself now! Eun Bi wonders if he’s alone at home, but there’s still the housemaid that cooks and cleans, nobody else! She lets him know of his mother’s presence at the hospital and hands him over her present, he opens it up and sees a tie in it. He doesn’t seem that bright and urges Eun Bi to keep eating in order to avoid any further reference to his mother.

Yi Ahn’s all alone lost in his thoughts, he picks up one of the medals and rushes to find the own whose memories are attached to it. Tae Gwang takes Eun Bi back home and she wants to tell him how to make time go by faster when he’s all alone, but Tae Gwang thinks that the only way to make the time go by fast for him is being with her. Tae Gwang approaches Eun Bi and kisses her on her cheek, it’s something Yi Ahn’s very soul and essence can’t handle as time stands still for both Tae Gwang and Eun Bi.
