Call me when you arrive.
If you feel sick, call me right away.
Okay, Dad. I will.
Hi!
How is your new place?
I’m also moving to where I used to live.
I lived with my grandma there when I was young.
It’s far from Seoul, so it’ll take longer by mail.
I’m writing to give you
my new phone number and address.
TO JI-MIN
All the best in the new place.
For you...
And me.
YOUR LETTER
Grandma!
Welcome, dear!
It must’ve been hard for you to come so far.
I’m not sick like I was when I was young.
Right.
Let’s go inside and have lunch.
Okay!
LEE SO-RI
Meet LEE So-ri. She moved here from Seoul.
So-ri, will you introduce yourself?
It was a very ordinary day.
Does it hurt?
How’s that?
Please stop.
Stop what? Then why crawl out to class?
Answer me!
Please don’t...
-Until I stopped staying put... -Come on!
Stop it!
What?
She said, “Stop!”
LEE So-ri.
Do you realize what you just did?
It only took 2 days for me
to become everyone’s target.
Hi, Ji-min.
It’s been a while.
How are you?
It’s so hot this summer, isn’t it?
So-ri...
Hmm?
I’m moving away.
Then what about me?
I almost said that.
Oh... That’s good!
Why keep apologizing?
Take good care.
I’m fine. Don’t worry.
When you get there, call me.
Ji-min must’ve felt the weight of my pause.
BACK TO SCHOOL
How pathetic.
I regretted it a bit.
I should’ve stayed still too.
But if I did, I would’ve regretted it more.
So-ri must be shy.
We’ll get to know her slowly.
Snap to it. This is a new school.
It’s the second semester
and school camp is coming up. Help her adjust.
Yes, sir!
We haven’t changed seats yet.
So-ri, will you take the empty seat at the back?
Yes, sir.
-Run! We’re late! -Wait up!
You’re from Seoul?
Did you really used to live here?
Huh? Yes.
When did you move away?
In elementary school.
Do classes really start at 7 AM there?
No, not really.
Why’d you move back?
Well...
You don’t have to say, if you don’t want to.
Right. Don’t worry.
She tends to ask stupid questions.
What? You said you’re curious too!
Anyway, ask if you have any questions.
She’s smarter than you. Why would she ask you?
What?
Our next class is on the field. See you later.
See ya!
Ready!
Come on!
Silly! Don’t avoid the ball!
New girl!
The teacher told us to pair up and practice.
Okay. Thanks.
-Ready? -Okay!
Ji-min’s letter?
Yes.
I made new friends already.
We eat together. They’re all nice to me.
You too, Dad.
-Hey, did you do your homework? -Nope.
She’s alone again.
She came from Han-wol Middle School, right?
I know that school.
It’s a top school in Seoul.
Why’d she come back here?
I went to elementary school with her.
She had lots of friends then.
Really?
All she does is study now.
She’s hard to approach.
Maybe we’re below her level.
-What’s for lunch today? -Curry rice!
Where did it all go wrong?
If I moved schools,
I thought it’d be all better.
Is it because I ran away?
Tissue paper...
A letter?
Why is this here?
Who sent this?
HELLO
“Hello”.
Hello!
Welcome to our school.
I’m writing to tell you all about our school.
This is a map around the school.
LIBRARY Take #1 to go to the library.
SPORTS FIELD Take #2 for gym classes.
CAFETERIA To come in and out of school
or the cafeteria, #3 is the fastest.
These are the students in our class
and their names.
Huh?
The math teacher sometimes snores
during independent study time.
Then the class VP DJ’s to it.
Quiet! Who was that?
The literature and health teachers are twins.
Kids say the health teacher is scarier.
PARK Do-dam! Don’t run in the hallway!
-I think the opposite. -I’m sorry.
PENALTY POINTS
Ethics teacher hates insects
and keeps an insect-eating plant.
“Life is C between B and D.”
She carries it around.
Understood?
Always.
P.S.
If you want to keep reading, find my second letter.
It’s in 819.93HAK99.
819.93HAK99?
Oh!
819.93... HAK99...
Found it!
CHEONGRYANG MIDDLE SCHOOL WRITING COLLECTION
GRADE 8 WINNING POEM
Thanks for finding my second letter.
On the page, where I put the letter,
is my favorite poem.
I wonder if you like it, too.
I WONDER IF YOU LIKE IT, TOO
I wonder, too.
SHOOTING STAR BY PARK DONG-SOON
Who is this thoughtful person?
JUNG HO-YEON BORROWED ON 8/8
JUNG Ho-yeon?
Is this your name?
He’s not in our class. Who is he?
These are the people who work at the school
and their names.
I was especially close
with Ms. KIM Soon-yi, the gardener.
She always smells like flowers
because she loves flower tea.
Bu-ha is her cat. He’s always with her.
Here are some helpers outside of the school.
CHEONG-LI CHINESE FOOD SECRET HOLE
If you order before 12:25 here,
you can have noodles on the roof
before they get soggy.
“I recommend the duck dumplings and fried eggplant.”
Excuse me! Over here!
I’ll pick up the dishes here later.
Okay.
Next time, can you order the same dishes together?
Pardon?
I’ll be in trouble, if the guard catches me.
Ah, okay.
CHEONG-LI CHINESE FOOD
Together?
Did someone else order too?
Oh!
Could it be him?
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
Why did I hide?
Could he be JUNG Ho-yeon?
Phew! I thought he fell.
This must be the rooftop archery range.
Wow!
He missed all of ’em.
Jeez.
I should get going.
Which of the following
is not a right in the Constitution?
If you’re curious about the next letter,
water the marigold
at the witch’s house after school.
Witch’s house?
Who knows the answer?
How about the new student?
Hey, new girl.
She’s calling you.
Huh?
Yes!
What is the answer?
Ah...
The social studies teacher
gives 5-choice quizzes often.
The answer is usually...
It’s none of the above.
Right.
It’ll be on the test, so memorize it.
Since she got the right answer, let’s wrap it up.
Yay!
Thank you for letting me know, Su-kyung.
Huh? Sure.
Do you know where the witch’s house is?
Oh, there?
Why do you ask?
It’s behind the school’s garden.
But...
Why is it called the witch’s house?
Well, the place burned down in a big fire last year,
but the witch cast a spell
and it was restored in a month.
Anyway, it’s a weird place.
Water the marigold at the witch’s house.
Is there really a witch here?
A cat?
It’s the cat on the card!
Are you tangled up?
Wait!
Whoa!
CROWN OF THORNS, SHINTO
It’s his handwriting!
Marigold!
MARIGOLD
I watered it, but where is the next letter?
Bu-ha!
There you are.
The witch?
Come here.
Ms. KIM Soon-yi?
Ho-yeon asked me
to give this to the one who waters the marigold.
Not many students know my name,
so I knew you must be the one.
Thank you. My name is LEE So-ri.
You must be curious. Please go ahead and open it.
Thank you.
May I call you Ms. Soon-yi?
Why not?
What is this?
Well...
It’s dried marigold that Ho-yeon cultivated.
He took really good care of it.
He probably wanted you to try it.
Wait here. I’ll make the tea.
It’s so pretty!
Thank you!
Does Ho-yeon drink tea here, too?
Yes. He helped me often.
Want me to tell you more about Ho-yeon?
No, ma’am.
He gave me such a lovely gift.
I’ll follow what he prepared
to find out more about him.
Sure. Want another cup?
Yes, please! Thank you!
I’ll leave it here, sir.
Okay.
ACHERY TEAM PRACTICE RECORD
Good work. You’re training hard.
Yes, I’m preparing for
the regional finals next month.
Good.
Your scores are borderline.
But winning the regional for extra points
can get you accepted to the school you want.
Good luck.
Yes, sir.
Dang. He’s dirt poor!
I’ll beat him to a pulp next time.
What are you looking at?
Some kid went into that eerie place.
She’s the new girl in class 2.
Seung-kyu! Wanna skip archery today?
Forget it.
You said you want to quit.
Stupid. The regionals are coming up.
Shut up.
If you can,
go to the rabbit cage before school starts.
I found it!
There are tasks that students must do here.
Taking care of rabbits is one of them.
If you didn’t choose a task, how about this?
You must be Nu-ri.
Here.
Nu-ri.
Choco, too.
Hey, you!
Huh?
Who is he?
Are you the new task member?
Huh? Yes.
I’m LEE So-ri. Who are you?
Ho-yeon?
I’m PARK Dong-soon.
Oh...
You know...
Rabbit poo will get on you like that.
Wait! No!
Nu-ri!
Thanks.
How’d you know the rabbit’s name?
Huh?
Where’d you get the snacks?
You ordered that Chinese food?
JUNG Ho-yeon told you?
I never heard he had a friend like you.
Are you friends with Ho-yeon?
No.
I put the fifth letter in my favorite place.
From behind the rabbit cage, take 5 steps forward.
Then take 7 steps to the right.
Then take 9 steps more, and you’ll find it.
That’s odd. There’s nothing here.
Take 5 steps.
Take 7 steps to the right.
Then 9 steps straight.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Huh?
What did I do wrong?
Did I take too big or small steps?
“Close your eyes from behind the rabbit’s cage...”
Maybe I didn’t walk properly
because I was looking at things.
Okay. Let’s try again.
Take 5 steps forward.
Take 7 steps to the right.
I can smell the flowers.
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!
PARK Dong-soon?
LEE So-ri?
What are you doing here?
What? JUNG Ho-yeon’s letters?
Yes. It said the next letter is here.
Jeez.
He had time to write letters for a stranger?
Do you mind if I looked around?
I don’t care.
ONE YEAR AGO
What’s up?
-Found it! -Hey, don’t!
Take it.
Dong-soon!
Hey!
PARK Dong-soon!
How loud is it that you can’t hear me?
Let’s go play at your house.
You have archery practice.
Your mom hates it when you miss practice.
What?
Never mind.
What? You still carry this around?
Why’d you call?
Dong-soon! Welcome!
I can’t go to camp prep.
Explain it to the committee for me.
Sure.
Wait. If Mom calls, tell her I’m sleeping over.
Why?
I don’t want to lie to her.
Who cares? I’m her son, not you.
Fine. Is that it?
Why are you so cold?
Wanna play here too? I’ll introduce you.
No. See ya.
Go on.
Oh, Dong-soon!
Ms. KIM!
Thanks for bringing the firewood.
Preparing the campfire is hard, isn’t it?
It’s okay.
I’m a prep committee member.
Call me if you need help.
Why, thank you!
Wait.
Do you smell something burning?
No, I don’t.
I smell smoke.
About the camp,
you said you knew someone in my group, right?
In another class? JUNG Ho-yeon, was it?
I was just curious...
Oh, right. He’s curious about you...
Goodbye, ma’am.
There’s a fire in the garden!
All participants of the camp,
please follow the teachers
and exit the school grounds.
Get out! Hurry!
What is it this time?
The witch must’ve squealed on me smoking.
My parents were called in.
Jeez.
Damn it.
AHN Seung-kyu!
Was it you?
It wasn’t, right?
The witch probably grows tobacco.
How dare she report me!
She deserves it.
It was an accident, right?
While smoking, it accidentally caught fire?
Right. It was an accident.
If I say that, will you believe me?
AHN Seung-kyu!
The people in the camp could’ve been hurt!
I know.
So stay quiet!
They won’t let it go as just an accident.
Want me to get expelled?
Want that for your friend, Dong-soon?
But still...
Remember when I beat up the jerks who bullied you?
You owe me one.
It’ll be over with the granny being fired.
Just stay put.
Like you always do.
Hey, let’s go watch the fire burn.
Finally! Found it.
Found it!
You’re new here. Just worry about adjusting.
What?
Don’t waste time looking for letters
and do something else.
I’m not wasting my time.
He prepared a lot.
Still, they’re just letters for fun
he wrote for anyone!
I don’t think it’s for fun...
I think he wanted to introduce the school to me.
If I find all the letters and meet Ho-yeon...
But JUNG Ho-yeon is...
You’ll regret it.
I used to come to this hideout
with my best friend every day.
If you like it, I hope you come by often.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
His best friend...
But she already knew my name!
When I just called her, “new girl”.
You must’ve felt bad.
She has to memorize all the names in your class,
but you just have to memorize hers.
Right.
I know I was wrong.
So what’s her name?
Ah...
Su-kyung.
New... Ah, So-ri!
This is the girl?
Your name is So-ri? It’s a pretty name.
Me?
We were just talking about you.
They’re my friends in class 3.
Hi! I’m JOO Ho-ran.
I’m YANG Song-hee.
Hi! I’m LEE So-ri.
If it’s okay, may I have lunch with you?
It’s okay, right?
Of course!
How’d you know to come here?
Someone told me that it’s nice to eat lunch here.
You don’t eat school food?
No.
I want to eat what I want, so I pack lunch.
Mom sells side dishes, so I pack the leftovers.
Wanna try this?
Thanks.
It’s so good!
I want to eat it too. I’m sick of chicken breast.
Hang in there. You can’t eat everything.
Why not?
I’m on the volleyball team
and am trying to watch my diet.
Regional rep selections are coming up soon.
I see.
It’s too bad about the archery team this year.
Right.
JUNG Ho-yeon is gone now.
JUNG Ho-yeon?
You don’t know him, right? He was in our class.
He was the best archer.
He was the rep for 2 years.
Someone else will make it this year.
He moved away recently.
He moved?
That’s why...
Ho-yeon must’ve sat at my desk.
Will Dong-soon be the rep this year?
No.
He quit the archery team.
It’ll probably be AHN Seung-kyu.
He’s the best now.
Ah... Dong-soon...
I’m sorry about what I said yesterday.
It’s okay.
And I was going to tell you before,
JUNG Ho-yeon moved away.
Did you hear already?
Yes.
What are you doing?
I’m not coming here anymore.
You can use it all you want.
What? Why all of a sudden?
I have no reason to come here anymore.
Dong-soon!
You were in the letter!
It said you’re his best friend.
Though you said no,
he said that you’re his friend.
And I think Ho-yeon...
He’d be sad if you stopped coming here.
Did something happen between you and Ho-yeon?
You’re good at finding places to hide, huh?
I looked everywhere.
All the teachers are looking for you too.
Let’s go back.
Don’t want to?
Why are you crying alone?
Who says I’m crying?
You don’t have to shed tears to cry.
In fact, shedding tears is more comforting.
I’m not crying. I’m angry.
And it’s none of your business.
Right. It’s not.
I just came to find you.
How did you find me?
Fireflies help you find the one you want to meet.
Oh, I brought something to eat.
Ms. Soon-yi made some sweet rice.
Try it. You’ll feel better.
Ms. Soon-yi?
She worried about you and asked me to find you.
Why all of a sudden...
She said it’ll let the tears out.
That’s crazy!
You ate it and cried, didn’t you?
Crying before him was embarrassing,
but it cleared my thoughts.
Who are you?
I’m JUNG Ho-yeon. I’m in the same camping group.
Not that. How did you really find me?
You won’t believe me.
I’m learning magic from Ms. Soon-yi.
What?
See? You don’t believe me.
Actually, it didn’t matter how he found me.
Weird.
More than his special ability,
I was amazed that he wandered through the mountain
to find a stranger like me.
TEACHERS’ OFFICE
What did you do, Dong-soon?
Why come out of there?
I said I started the fire during camp.
You said you did it?
I told you to stay put.
Are you delusional?
Do you think you’re my friend?
Stupid jerk.
Exactly.
With this, I hope I never see you again.
Congrats on your 2 weeks suspension.
Are you making fun of me?
At least you didn’t get expelled.
I didn’t think you’d say that you did it.
I gotta do at least that much
to break ties with Seung-kyu forever.
And it’s my fault. I saw him but did nothing.
Sure you won’t regret this?
Why should you get punished
for something you didn’t do?
Whoa. He’s good.
How about archery?
Nice. It looks fun.
If you want, let’s do it together.
No, I gotta study...
Let me know if you change your mind.
Okay.
But you’re really good.
How can you hit the target so well?
Wanna try it?
All my arrows missed. How annoying!
Should I think of the target
as someone I’m mad at?
No.
-Got the strap I gave you? -Yeah.
Put your emotions into this, then release it.
Think of it as your anger now, and let it go.
Concentrate and shoot.
See?
Here’s our new member, PARK Dong-soon.
Ho-yeon, help out your friend.
Yes, sir.
That goes for the rest of you, too!
Yes, sir!
Hey, do you think I was foolish?
About what?
You were against it.
Getting suspended instead of AHN Seung-kyu?
Yeah.
If you don’t regret it, I think it’s fine.
And it’s great to be able
to make a choice like that.
You’re the amazing one.
What? Say that again?
How did you make a place like this?
Sorry.
What did you say?
I didn’t make it. It already existed.
It just lost people’s interest.
Lost interest?
Who’d drink your tea
and come here with their eyes closed?
There are different ways
to get to different places.
The same goes for people.
When you have interest and become aware of it,
then it exists before you.
What does that mean?
Checkmate!
What?
I finally won once!
It’s because you confused me
by saying weird things.
Is it true fireflies help you find someone
you want to meet?
That’s how I found you.
Then can you heal sick people or fly with magic?
Nope.
Think magic isn't special?
That’s for hospitals and planes.
That’s science.
Miracles take more time and effort
to create than you might think.
So it’s easy to take ’em for granted.
Treating sick people or flying are like that.
When you take it for granted
and think it’s trivial,
it doesn’t become a miracle or magic.
It’s our last year here,
but we’re in different classes.
Too bad.
Why? We play together every day.
Right.
Watch where you’re going.
AHN Seung-kyu. Watch it.
Stop it.
You’re lucky today.
-Hello, sir. -Hi, Seung-kyu.
You’re not angry anymore?
Nope.
It’s a waste to spare any feelings on him.
Wow! You’re a pro now!
I guess.
It’s all thanks to you and that weird magic.
No, I just...
I’m serious.
Thanks.
Me too.
Dong-soon, didn’t you hear?
Ho-yeon moved during summer break.
I heard he immigrated abroad.
I thought we were friends, but he didn’t.
That’s why he left without telling me.
Sorry. I didn’t know...
No more questions, right?
Wait!
By chance...
Know this key? It was in Ho-yeon’s letter.
It’s a locker key for the archery team.
It’s probably Ho-yeon’s.
It’s here!
Now that you found it, I’m leaving.
Thanks.
Dong-soon!
This letter is for you!
Dong-soon.
Sorry for leaving with just this letter.
I don’t know when I’ll be back
and couldn’t tell you in person.
I didn’t want to say goodbye.
Until we meet again someday, stay healthy.
I’m always grateful to you
for being my best friend.
Your dear friend, Ho-yeon.
Though the letter was short,
Dong-soon read it over and over again.
Though he didn’t shed tears,
he looked like he was crying with joy.
REGIONAL REP SELECTIONS D-8
Dong-soon is back now. Let’s all train hard!
Remember, there are no campfires at camp this year.
Submit the signed forms by next week.
Yes, sir!
-So-ri, see you tomorrow! -Bye.
-LEE So-ri! -Coming!
Dong-soon and I became friends.
We’re friends that look for letters together.
You eat lunch with Ho-ran and Song-hee?
Yup.
I went to the tree Ho-yeon told me
and met them there.
He introduced me to your poem too.
What? It’s not ‘Shooting Star’, is it?
Ho-yeon! Why you!
A shooting star dances, but I can’t dance.
Hey! Stop it!
Stop!
The 7th letter is under a blue rock
in the camping area.
They filled it into a pond
right before you came here.
Then the letter is in the pond?
Yup. He didn’t anticipate this.
What are you doing?
Stretching.
I’m going in to find it.
There’s a lotus leaf on your head.
-It’s not easy to find. -Right.
But with buoyancy, it’s easier to lift the rocks.
-Let’s keep looking. -Okay.
Found it!
It was that hard to find,
but the letters are smudged?
Yes.
Can you do something?
Let me take a look.
Wow!
You really are a witch!
You’re so amazing!
It’ll take a few days to restore it.
Come and get it later.
5th VOLLEYBALL REGIONAL TEAM SELECTIONS
Today is the day!
What if I make a mistake?
Don’t worry. Just be yourself.
Su-kyung, I made a banner for you.
Really?
Like it?
LEE SU-KYUNG, THE DAUGHTER OF CHEONGSAN
What? The daughter of Cheongsan?
I’ll go to the archery range now.
I’ll come and cheer for you after volleyball!
It’s okay. You don’t have to.
You’ll be sad if we don’t go.
No way!
See you later.
You got this!
Su-kyung!
Yes!
ARCHERY REGIONAL TEAM SELECTION
Dong-soon!
You got this!
DONG-SOON, THE SON OF CHEONGSAN
Nine!
Congrats on winning!
I was so nervous!
Good work. You too, Dong-soon!
Yeah! I’m so glad you two did so well!
Thank you, guys!
I won thanks to your cheers!
Then are you buying, Su-kyung?
But...
The dumplings are so good!
-Whatever. -So-ri, pass the water.
Here.
I’ve been wondering...
Are you two dating?
Yeah! Why are you two always together these days?
You go home together too.
What?
That’s not it!
Dong-soon! Your face is turning red!
I said no!
I’m back, Grandma!
I’m not sick at all. Don’t worry.
I had a party with friends
and camping is coming up.
You too, Dad.
Since it was in the water for long,
I could only restore this much.
This is enough, ma’am!
Yes! It tells us where to find the next letter.
Let’s go and find it now.
Okay!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
-Where is the incinerator? -It’s close by.
They’re excited by your letters. Oh, Ho-yeon...
It’s here!
It was easy to find this time, huh?
Yeah!
Good thing it’s not being used.
The envelope is big this time.
Yeah.
There is no number either. Is it the last letter?
Are you okay?
It could be a cold...
-I should be fine. -Good.
-Then... -Then...
I gotta go to archery practice.
What?
Right. You’ll be late. Go on.
You can read it first.
It’s okay.
Dong-soon!
Let’s read it together later!
Okay.
Though I promised...
Life is a series of choices.
Understood?
I’ll just take a peek.
Where did it go?
What’s the heck is this?
Test papers?
Shh!
You opened it first, huh?
Sorry, but that’s not what’s important.
ENGLISH TEST
The mid-term is 2 weeks away.
How is this possible?
Someone stole it?
I think so.
First, let’s find Ho-yeon’s letter,
then take this to the teachers’ office.
Okay.
There’s nothing here.
I’ll look for it again.
The letter?
Are you looking for that?
So you’re the ones, who took what’s mine?
Let’s make a trade and call it a day.
I have a bad feeling about him.
-But... -We don’t know what you mean.
Give us the letter.
You got some nerve, Dong-soon.
You lie with a straight face now?
It’s a letter from JUNG Ho-yeon who moved away.
I read it.
He wrote some kind of location.
It’s important to us.
Give it back. Please.
You were always together,
but he didn’t leave a number?
How rude.
I pity you, PARK Dong-soon.
Thought you’re his friend? Got delusional again?
Don’t you want it back?
Why act up when you’re just a thief
who stole a test!
If you want it back, watch it!
Whatever.
Now, I’m sure you guys have it.
I’ll tell the teachers and...
Go ahead.
Will they believe an arsonist or me?
If you get caught this time, you’ll be expelled.
When camp starts tomorrow, bring it here.
Sorry, Dong-soon.
You held back wisely, but I...
It’s okay. Thanks for fighting back.
STOP
I ruined things again.
Whenever I try to step up and do the right thing,
it seems to make it worse.
Back then... That’s why I was bullied.
Maybe I shouldn’t have stepped in
when I can’t overcome it.
What if Ji-min and Dong-soon resent me
for stepping in and...
Ho-yeon’s letter...
If we don’t get it back,
we can’t find anymore letters.
Dong-soon wants the letter so much.
I should stay put this time.
If what I think is right makes things worse,
it may have been wrong from the start.
I’m back.
There’s no number.
Right. It can’t be Ho-yeon’s letter.
FROM KIM JI-MIN
Ji-min...
Hi, So-ri.
How are you?
I’m somewhat getting used to living here.
I made some friends that I eat
and walk to school with.
There are lots of good kids in my class too.
But there is bullying here too.
Though I’m not the target, it still scares me.
You loser!
Wanna die?
I told you to bring it! Why didn’t you?
They’re the same hurtful words t
hat I used to hear.
Hey.
Hey!
It’s as if they’re close, right behind me.
I’m scared...
But I realized how much courage it takes
to stand up to them.
I could cry... I’m so thankful to So-ri.
Stop it.
He told you to stop!
What?
Are you out of your mind?
-How dare you say that... -Yeah!
Cut it out.
Got nothing to do? Get out of our class.
Yeah! Why make trouble here!
We’re sick of seeing you bully the kids!
Right! Get out of our classroom!
When will you grow up?
Stop bullying others. You should be ashamed!
-Yeah! How stupid! -Stop it.
Some people helped me here, like you, So-ri.
I’m sorry, So-ri.
I was able to stand up for someone
and tell bullies to stop
all thanks to you.
Why would you be sorry?
Because you did that for me,
I was able to do that for someone else.
Thank you.
It’s what I needed to hear the most right now.
Dong-soon. What do you think?
I don’t think we should give it back to him.
Ho-yeon wouldn’t want us to get his letter that way.
Right, but are you okay with that?
Even if things go wrong, I won’t regret it.
I’m just happy that
I heard about Ho-yeon thanks to you.
Maybe we can find the next letter
even without the one Seung-kyu has.
When you get over your cold,
I want to start looking again.
How about it?
You’re on.
I want to find the last letter
and thank Ho-yeon, too.
Are you okay?
Camp starts tomorrow.
Let’s go before you get worse.
Okay.
Dong-soon.
I have a plan.
Hi!
Where’s So-ri? We’re playing dodgeball soon.
Dong-soon is gone too.
Give us the letter back as promised.
AHN Seung-kyu!
How could you! That wasn’t the deal!
You believed me?
You’re so naïve.
Think you can hide the fact you stole the test?
Why? Got proof?
It’ll all be revealed in the end.
What?
You know this won’t be overlooked
as just an accident.
You started the garden fire
and even stole the test!
You’ve gone way too far.
How dare you, Dong-soon!
If what I did bothered you,
why’d you say that you did it?
And you brought back the test, too.
What?
It’s empty!
You little jerk!
Stop!
I recorded everything.
So stop it!
Amusing.
So-ri! Run!
Let go!
Stop right there!
Seung-kyu?
Give it to me.
No!
Stop!
Give it to me!
Hand it over!
Stop!
Be quiet.
You’ll pay for what you did.
What did I do?
You started the garden fire
and stole the test!
Are you nuts?
What are you doing?
Damn it.
Give it to me now!
What’s going on?
So-ri! Are you okay?
-Dong-soon? Are you okay? -Yeah.
AHN Seung-kyu! Explain yourself.
Sir, we were just talking and got excited...
You started the garden fire
and even stole the test!
You’ve gone way too far.
How dare you, Dong-soon!
If what I did bothered you,
why’d you say that you did it?
Sir, I can explain...
It’s over, AHN Seung-kyu.
Seung-kyu must’ve stolen a test.
I’m not surprised.
TEACHERS’ OFFICE
Seung-kyu got expelled a few days later.
CAMP HEADQUARTERS
Camp will start again tomorrow.
Go home for now. See you all tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Even Ms. Soon-yi won’t be able to restore this.
Too bad about the letter.
I hoped to find a clue.
Are you okay, So-ri?
Yeah.
-Let’s go home. -Okay.
So-ri!
LEE So-ri!
CHEONGSAN HOSPITAL
You’ll be fine after a few days of rest.
Thank you, doctor.
It’s been years, but I’m not glad you’re here.
So-ri.
After all your treatments,
I hoped you’d never come back.
I’m sorry...
Then get better soon.
Your dad is coming today. Get some rest.
I will.
Dong-soon! What about camp?
I left early. I was worried about you.
How are you feeling?
I just need to rest for a few days.
That’s good.
You seem close with the doctor.
I stayed here for a long time when I was young.
Were you sick?
I was very weak before, but I’m fine now.
I see.
Here.
TO SO-RI
The kids asked me to give it to you.
So-ri! Sick of the hospital food?
I’ll bring some good food!
It’s too bad you had to miss camp.
When you’re better, let’s go camping!
Get better soon!
Thanks.
When you come back,
let’s look for the letter again.
It’s like treasure hunting, huh?
I guess.
I did that a lot when I was here. It was so fun.
Were you good at treasure hunts?
They were pretty easy to find.
They hid things where we anticipated they’d be.
Anticipated?
So-ri!
Do you remember where the letters were?
Of course!
The first one was under my desk.
The second one was by your poem in the book.
The third was with Ms. Soon-yi.
The fourth was in the rabbit cage.
The fifth was at the hideout.
The next one was in the archery locker.
Then the camping area pond,
then the incinerator.
I think I know where the next letter is!
Really?
Yes.
I’ll be back.
Ho-yeon used to sit where So-ri does now.
The letters were in
the classroom,
the library,
the garden,
the rabbit cage,
the hideout,
archery range,
camping area,
and the incinerator.
Trace back on the times I spent with Ho-yeon.
Then the next letter must be
where he first found me.
The burned letter would’ve had
the exact coordinates.
How did he find me that night?
Fireflies help you find the one you want to meet.
Fireflies! Wow!
I see them! I recognize this place.
Found it!
Hello?
Dong-soon. Calm down and speak slowly.
Ho-yeon...
He didn’t move abroad.
He went to have surgery.
His childhood illness came back.
The last, tenth letter
is in the rooftop garden of your hospital!
The 9th letter was in the place
where Ho-yeon and I first met.
So, I don’t know where the last letter is.
You said
you used to live here
and stayed at the hospital for long.
Didn’t you meet Ho-yeon then?
Ho-yeon wrote the letters for you
knowing you’d sit there.
It’s time for the treasure hunt!
Yay!
Look carefully behind trees and under rocks.
Will you have fun finding them?
Yes!
Hey, guys!
Wow! Look at So-ri.
She found 5!
So-ri! Can I have one?
No way!
How did you find that many?
Well...
It’s totally easy.
Just look carefully like this.
Like this?
Come back here!
Whoa!
You’re good at finding places to hide, aren’t you?
Can I come in?
That’s when I first met So-ri.
It’s so cool in here!
-It’s like we became smaller! -Yeah...
Did you read ‘Gulliver’s Travels’?
It’s my favorite book!
It’ll be fun to read it here!
I have an idea!
How about making this our secret hideout?
I have four other hideouts in the hospital.
I’ll let you come in too!
Okay.
Great!
From now on, this will be our 5th hideout!
Wanna go and see the other hideouts?
No... thanks.
Why not?
If I go out, I’ll get needles.
Then...
I’ll give you these.
Let’s play!
So-ri took me everywhere throughout the hospital.
She made me less afraid of the hospital.
-So-ri... -Shh!
Is it something scary again?
No way!
We’re here.
What are you doing?
Tada!
Wow!
It’s so pretty.
Know what?
Fireflies help you find the one you want to meet.
Really?
Yup.
So even if we get separated,
we’ll be able to meet again.
So-ri!
Some days, it was hard to watch.
Some days, it was hard to take.
But there were many good days because of So-ri.
So-ri! Congrats on leaving here!
Lucky you! Go out and eat lots of yummy food!
Congrats!
Thanks, guys.
When I heard So-ri was leaving, I got grumpy.
With So-ri gone, I didn’t want to be left alone.
STAY HEALTHY! LET’S MEET AGAIN LATER!
All the nice things you naturally did
for me...
I’ll never forget them.
I left there 6 months later.
I went to elementary and middle school too,
but my illness returned during my summer break.
Ho-yeon.
Why won’t you tell the kids or even Dong-soon?
Please keep it a secret.
Dong-soon has the tryouts coming up.
My surgery could go either way.
Okay, if that’s how you really feel...
Bu-ha must be sad, too.
I hope your surgery goes well.
Take good care.
Thank you, sir.
-Sir! -Yes?
Is she transferring here?
TRANSFER STUDENT
Ah, yes.
She’ll come when you’re away for your operation.
I heard she lived here when she was young.
It’s her.
I don’t remember her name,
but it’s her.
So, you’re asking me to have her sit
where you used to sit?
Is that it?
Yes, please.
If the recurrence came a bit later,
I could’ve gone to school with you two.
No, I shouldn’t think like that.
I can meet you once my surgery goes well.
So-ri loves books,
so she’ll find my letter easily.
She’s also good at treasure hunts.
She’ll become friends with Dong-soon easily.
Still, I wish I could stay.
What if I die...
I don’t want you to know.
I want you to know.
I don’t want you two to be sad.
I want to cry like a child.
I’m scared to be alone.
I hope you find the letters.
I hope you can’t find the letters.
I hope you forget me.
I hope you remember me.
CHEONGSAN TO NOK-WOO
I hope you come to see me.
The train was set to depart
4 days after I found the last letter.
Though we found the last letter, we so wanted,
thinking it could really be the end,
we remained speechless for 4 days.
We were afraid it will all vanish like a dream.
And scared we may not be able to meet Ho-yeon.
The train bound for Nok-woo is now approaching.
Passengers for Nok-woo,
please board at platform 3.
We are now arriving at Nok-woo, our final stop.
Found you!
