10:27.293 --> 10:30.588
[Stella] Oh my goodness.
This place is so daunting.

10:30.671 --> 10:33.049
Seoul is nothing like Pepper Pike, Ohio,
let me tell you.

10:33.132 --> 10:36.302
But Yuri and Juliana seem super sweet.
Are you three super close?

10:36.385 --> 10:38.095
Uh, I wouldn't say super close.

10:38.179 --> 10:40.806
More like… Actually,
don't know what I'd say.

10:40.890 --> 10:43.100
But enough about me.
How did you end up at KISS?

10:43.184 --> 10:45.269
Oh, an exchange program through my church.

10:45.353 --> 10:48.356
Oh, it's so nice to be rooming
with another Korean-American.

10:48.439 --> 10:50.941
-Thanks for showing me the ropes.
-Yeah. Uh, here we are.

10:51.025 --> 10:52.234
I'll meet you at the same spot.

10:52.318 --> 10:55.404
I just have a little errand
to run myself, so… [chuckles awkwardly]

10:56.822 --> 10:58.074
[Kitty] There's been a mistake.

10:58.157 --> 10:59.784
I signed up for a single.

11:00.451 --> 11:01.786
There's no mistake.

11:01.869 --> 11:06.499
Our room and board fees have gone up
due to unforeseen tuition deficiencies.

11:07.625 --> 11:11.003
A cheating scandal has led many parents
to withdraw their children from KISS.

11:11.087 --> 11:14.048
The new rate for a single
isn't covered by your scholarship.

11:14.131 --> 11:18.260
Well, is there any way I can be in
another suite? With different roommates?

11:20.513 --> 11:22.515
[keyboard clacking]

11:23.182 --> 11:25.393
Yuri Han. Isn't she a friend of yours?

11:26.102 --> 11:29.939
Yes. Yes, indeed. That is the problem.

11:30.022 --> 11:31.857
If I'm gonna focus on my academics,

11:31.941 --> 11:34.485
rooming with a friend
would be a major distraction.

11:34.568 --> 11:37.571
Well, when you put it that way,
I'll see what I can do.

11:37.655 --> 11:39.573
Oh my God, thank you!
Can I give you a hug?

11:39.657 --> 11:40.616
Absolutely not.

11:40.699 --> 11:42.284
Right, of course.

11:44.120 --> 11:47.289
While I have you,
can I ask you one more thing?

11:47.373 --> 11:48.708
If it really is only one. [sighs]

11:50.042 --> 11:51.752
My mom, Eve,

11:53.003 --> 11:57.466
apparently had a boyfriend
named Simon while she was here.

11:58.759 --> 12:01.137
Do you… remember him at all?

[Lee takes a deep breath]

12:06.642 --> 12:09.395
Your mom and I weren't particularly close.

12:09.895 --> 12:10.938
And, um…

12:12.189 --> 12:14.066
I don't recall a Simon.

12:16.235 --> 12:18.738
Perhaps he was the young man
she followed to Seoul.

12:19.238 --> 12:21.240
The one her parents didn't approve of.

12:21.323 --> 12:22.158
Wait, what?

12:22.241 --> 12:25.536
Yes, I recall her parents
didn't support her coming to Korea.

12:26.454 --> 12:27.663
Particularly her mother.

12:29.081 --> 12:31.625
No, my mom was always very close
to her parents.

12:31.709 --> 12:33.127
That doesn't sound right.

12:34.211 --> 12:36.005
Maybe I should call my grandma.

12:36.088 --> 12:37.256

12:37.339 --> 12:40.050
Dad! Ten-minute warning for the assembly.

12:42.261 --> 12:44.680
Fifteen. I asked for a 15-minute warning.

12:47.475 --> 12:50.561
Oh. You said ten. I thought it was…

12:50.644 --> 12:52.354
-[Lee] No, I said 15.

13:05.534 --> 13:06.452
Oh look!

13:06.535 --> 13:08.746
I think Yuri and Juliana saved us seats.

13:08.829 --> 13:13.501
Or… we could sit here,
next to my other good friend.

13:13.584 --> 13:16.378
This is my friend…

13:16.462 --> 13:17.796

-[Kitty chuckles]

13:20.299 --> 13:22.801
Praveena! That's so funny.
We know each other.

13:22.885 --> 13:24.845
It's like, uh… "I'm Kitty."

13:24.929 --> 13:26.639

-Hi.

13:29.225 --> 13:31.227
[gentle music playing]

13:34.730 --> 13:37.191

those two girls.

13:37.274 --> 13:39.401
Okay, what happened? Big fight?

13:39.485 --> 13:41.278
-Whose fault was it?
-Um…

If I'm going to be part of your scheme,
I should know what I'm in for.

Plus, I'm nosy.

13:48.994 --> 13:51.664
-[Q] I was saying it right, then.
-Not the whole time. I'm not sure.

13:51.747 --> 13:53.457
But I'd say you were getting--

13:53.541 --> 13:55.000

Oh. My Min Ho. [chuckles]

Come give your daddy a big hug.

14:17.523 --> 14:18.691
Ah!

14:18.774 --> 14:22.069
Okay, what are you doing here?
Aren't you meant to be on your tour?

14:22.152 --> 14:24.863
We had to end our tour early.
Your half-sisters Su-Jin and Bianca

Dark Star, my new opening act.

14:27.783 --> 14:28.867
Oh.

14:28.951 --> 14:31.996
So I decided to find myself
a new business venture.

14:32.913 --> 14:36.125

I'm funding to save your school.

my name on a building.

14:43.257 --> 14:44.425
That's right.

14:44.508 --> 14:47.720
And lucky me, it's a chance
to reconnect with my favorite son.

14:47.803 --> 14:49.722
Your favorite son is Joon Ho.

14:49.805 --> 14:52.725
You wrote a song about him
called "Favorite Son."

-It's no secret…
-[quietly] Hi.

15:18.751 --> 15:20.336
-Hi.
-FYI, Dae's in a tizzy.

15:20.419 --> 15:22.338
He thinks Min Ho's acting weird
around you,

15:22.421 --> 15:25.841
and he blames himself for accusing Min Ho
of having a crush on you before break.

15:25.925 --> 15:28.469
There's nothing going on
between me and Min Ho. Dae knows that.

15:28.552 --> 15:31.347
I know, but it's complicated.
Dae still has feelings for you.

15:32.765 --> 15:34.475
You just broke up with him. Okay?

15:34.558 --> 15:36.435
He's not gonna get over you that fast.

15:37.436 --> 15:38.896
I'm sorry.

15:38.979 --> 15:41.398
I didn't mean to derail
your drama-free semester.
