GOING TO YOU AT A SPEED OF 493KM
THE PLACES, PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL
EPISODE 13
I went out with Taejun.
But we broke up.
I feel like I should tell you so that I don't waver.
Now, I'll…
I'll really get my act together.
Good.
I knew you were going out with him.
Then why didn't you say anything?
Do other dads have a say in their daughters' love lives?
How do they manage that? I'd like to know.
Let's move on together.
You've moved on. So should I.
Move on from what?
I should clean out your mom's room.
Let's do it today.
-Taeyang will be out for two weeks. -What? Why?
-Why is that? -What do you think?
For what she posted online.
That was her punishment for what she did. Just so you know.
So please, stay off of social media. Okay?
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
All court strokes.
Darn it.
-Too bad for them. -Let's start.
-Okay. -Okay.
Hey. Forget doing strokes. Just lob them to me.
Fine.
What's gotten into you?
You said to lob them to you.
What?
Why are you doing as I ask? It's weird.
-Should I not? -That's not it.
Then just hit them.
Again.
Hey.
Why did you become nicer when Taeyang was the one punished?
Are you two one person?
Is Taeyang doing okay?
We broke up.
What?
We broke up.
I miss Mom.
Don't you hate her?
She was never nice to you.
Look who's talking.
She was better than you, to be honest.
You know,
I thought you didn't like Mom.
But when I saw you unable to come in here after she passed away,
I realized you liked her a lot.
I never knew before then.
I didn't realize it either. Not until she was gone.
They say it's too late when you regret it.
I wonder if there is anything that ends which doesn't leave behind regrets.
It's time to clean out the room.
I hated seeing you sleep all scrunched up on the couch.
Hey. It's a good thing you broke up with Taejun.
He's Junyoung's brother.
I won't be all sappy about it.
It's a good thing you broke up.
What could you have learned from me when I'm a sap?
Anyway, I'll move on,
so you should too. Got it?
Goodness. It feels cathartic.
Are you done?
SPORTS BRAND MARKETING
SPORTS AND HEALTHY LIVING
JUNGHWAN
I'm at a bookstore, so I'll--
Then can you just listen?
It's about Taeyang.
Go on. What is it?
Because she explained what happened to you,
Coach Kwon tried to get her fired.
I think
she expected to lose everything when she came clean.
So? What happened?
Luckily, our coach helped her, so she's okay.
I thought you should know.
I'm sure Taejun will comfort her.
I know they're seeing each other.
Taeyang and your brother
broke up.
What?
You know how much Taeyang adored you.
She wouldn't wrong you twice.
Bye.

Wow. Mr. Hwang. This is such an honor.
I get to play with Yook Junghwan thanks to you.
Why don't we stop? Let's stop. Okay, that's enough.
What took you so long?
Wait. You should say something about how well he played.
He's really something, isn't he?
Yes, he's really something…
bad.
Why are you joking around?
Are you all here to watch a show?
Aren't you going to play?
Have fun!
You jerk. Get over here.
You…
You're socially inept.
People show you respect only because you're an athlete.
Hey. I simply stated a fact.
Who asked for facts? You should've given him hope!
Will you pay for the memberships if my dad loses his source of income?
If I weren't on probation, you'd be dead by now.
What?
Hey. You were back to yourself from three years ago just now.
We used to squabble all the time back in the day.
What's with the sudden comment? You're reminding me of someone.
That was my favorite time in my career.
How did we end up like this?
Are you trying to make up with me?
Then I'm kind of moved.
You were a good friend too.
Sorry for how I've behaved.
Same here.
Anyway, do you want to hear about Taejun?
I heard that you two broke up.
Did he tell you?
That was quick.
Well, so…
If I did something wrong…
Let's stop talking about him.
DELETE
Here.
Why isn't this clicking?
Hey. You're taking a video. You're so technically challenged.
Give me that. You can't press the right button?
Hey, let's go here later.
Even DiCaprio stayed at this resort.
Why do I look worse than in real life?
We have to go to a resort
so that we can do nothing but eat and play.
Should I be crazy and book our flight?
Well lose our muscles and suffer like crazy later.
I've never traveled abroad before.
Me neither, other than for tournaments.
That's how it is for athletes. We don't have time.
Just tell yourself this is a resort
and that DiCaprio is next door.
Come here. Let's take some selfies.
Here.
Why isn't this clicking?
Hey. You're taking a video. You're so technically challenged.
Give me that. You can't press the right button?
My bad. Sorry. That must've hurt. That was loud.
Are you laughing?
-You did that on purpose. -Why would I?
Because we can't go to DiCaprio's resort.
Don't start up with me again.
Don't try to run away.
Get over here. You deserve a noogie.
I'm not that easy to catch.
And I don't lose my target that easily.
Then try to catch me.
Get over here.
My reflex speed is 0.3 seconds.
I'm so annoyed.
You punk.
Let's stop.
Okay?
This isn't right.
-Let's make up. -No.
-Hey. -Let's make up.
-Okay? -Let go. This is excessive force. Let go.
SOLO TRAINING LAST DAY
NIGHT - DELETE PICS FROM PHONE. THE END.
TRAINING DIARY
Why am I so hungry?
We had dinner just two hours ago.
It's been long enough since dinner. What should we order?
Chicken feet? Tripe? Chicken?
Hey.
Get them all.
You can't get just one.
-Sounds good. -Nice.
Delivery!
What?
Did you order already?
That was way too fast.
Coming!
-What? -Taeyang. Are you back?
Thank you.
Hi, everyone. I'm back!
Taeyang.
Is this all you got?
There's so little.
I guess they like the chicken more than me.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
What? Taeyang is back.
-What? She is? -Yes.
She's back.
Okay.
Hey. Didn't you say you were going to the convenience store?
No.
That's right. You said you wanted to go for a run.
Taeyang's here. You should go.
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
You're not going out? For real?
What's wrong with you?
We will have a physical fitness test ten days from now.
-Sorry I'm late. -Be punctual from now on.
Yes, sir.
What is this?
We set goals per person based on last year's test results.
Focus on getting fit until the test.
Coach.
I know it's a Yunis tradition, but must we do this?
To be honest, what other team does physical fitness tests?
We're not kids.
Everyone should be responsible for keeping in shape on their own.
It will affect your salary next year.
Pardon?
Tell yourself you'll get paid as much as you sweat, and work hard.
How fair is that?
What a beautiful tradition.
-Coach. -Coach.
What?
Can't I just train instead?
I'd rather practice my hits.
And I want to hit you. Why you…
Good. I need you guys to complain so that I can let you have it.
Is there anything I can throw?
Can't we just take the test now then?
If we meet the goal, there's no need for a test.
That's a good idea. Me too. I want to try.
-Me too. -I'll try too.
These kids want to make a bet.
-You're confident, is that it? -Yes!
Fine. That can be arranged. Deal!
But wait. Hold on.
You need to bet something too, to be fair.
-What? -If you fail,
give up your phones.
Come on, Coach. It should be cleaning or doing laundry for a week.
That's the tradition among athletes.
I don't give a hoot.
What do you kids care about the most? Your phones.
It's your phone or nothing.
What do you say? Are you in or are you out?
-I'll do it. -See you later.
Nice. I like your confidence.
Good. Yuri?
-I don't have my phone on me. -Anyone else?
Last call.
What about you?
Ready?
Begin.
Do you think you'll pass?
They bet their phones.
We need to do something too.
Losers pay for dinner and drinks.
No limits.
Fine.
Junghwan will pass.
Taejun will fail!
-Me too. -Me too.
I say they both…
pass.
Me too.
I say they both fail.
What about you? Place your bet.
Taejun will pass, Junghwan will fail.
That's a wild bet.
It'll be an unexpected twist.
There are no unexpected twists in life.
You're right.
Freeze!
Anyone who touches the credit cards
will lose their hand.
Creak, creak.
What are you doing?
How did it go?
-I passed. -I passed.
-They both passed? -Nice. Let's get ribeye.
-That sounds good. -Let's have lobster too.
I'm sorry, but do you mind sharing a table since it's lunchtime?
-Pardon? -Sorry. I'll give you some free food.
Here.
Okay.
You want the lunch special, right?
-Yes. -Okay.
I'm almost done. I'll be leaving soon.
Are you sure you're done?
Yes. Enjoy your lunch.
You don't have to avoid me.
I'll avoid you, so you can act normal.
Is that why you're not doing the fitness test? To avoid me?
I thought we'd both prefer that.
You came here to eat to avoid me.
I'm here because I'm meeting someone.
Here? Who?
It's true.
We'll have to keep seeing each other.
Wouldn't it be harder to avoid each other?
I won't avoid you,
so don't avoid me if it doesn't bother you.
You're here too?
Sit down.
I told you I was meeting someone.
We made up.
You could say we're like besties.
I was leaving.
What the heck?
Excuse me. One lunch special, please.
Okay.
Hey. Sorry, but you'll have to eat by yourself.
What do you mean? I came all this way.
I know. Sorry.
What the heck? You're really leaving?
What…
I hate eating alone.
Including Taeyang's, we have a total of five credit cards.
Which means we have to drink at least until 4 a.m.
But we need to start working out starting tomorrow.
Let's just drink and die!
Why?
Because there is no tomorrow!
-There's no tomorrow! Drink! -Drink!
-Fill it up. Okay. Nice. -Yes.
That's enough for me.
PHYSICAL FITNESS GOALS
What's wrong?
What were you looking at?
Gosh.
I used to be confident about my physical fitness back in the day.
Now, I'm not confident even in that.
I'd prefer to play a match.
How do your goals look? Do they look doable?
Just…
Isn't your goal just maintaining status quo too?
Mine too.
Just don't fall behind.
Although that takes crazy effort too.
My goals went down.
It's too hard for me to even maintain my current shape.
All that's left is going downhill.
Not falling apart
and coming down step by step without being humiliated.
That's my goal now.
Well…
That's just what Coach and Mr. Sibong think.
Are they telling me to quit?
Do you play badminton purely with your physique?
Hey. Captain. We've decided to cut training together tomorrow.
-What? -We won't go!
-Try and make us. -We're going to have fun. Let's drink!
Yes!
Hey, you.
We'll drink until the bar closes.
And no one is going back to the dorm. Got that?
-Yes! -Yes!
Okay, let's go!
-Let's go. -Let's go.
-You can't go home.
I won't let you.
Let's go.
Let's go
I'll see you again in the spring.
It's gotten a lot warmer, right?
This is totally spring.
Why do you keep talking about spring?
Is it spring?
Flowers bloomed in front of the dorm. Didn't you see?
It's totally spring. Totally.
Will spring ever come to my life?
I think spring is coming. I think spring is here already.
Spring, spring, spring.
Why aren't you practicing?
Me knee hurts.
Don't make excuses.
You did that fitness test with a bad knee?
It really does hurt.
Why aren't you practicing?
Someone likes me,
but I don't have the nerve to even start.
I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship.
What kind of a stupid concern is that? Especially in front of me.
Are you in deep distress because of our Taeyang?
-"Our Taeyang"? -Right.
I've been close to our Taeyang way longer than you.
I bet I know our Taeyang much better than you do.
An ex-boyfriend doesn't compare to a bestie.
Taeyang.
You think that's funny, you scum--
You know how much Taeyang adored you.
She wouldn't wrong you twice.
Hey. Junyoung.
Yes?
Are you in touch with Taejun?
I wonder how he's doing.
Why don't you call him?
It's okay.
He's busy.
I doubt he's doing very well.
They broke up.
What?
I know everything, so you can drop the act.
I know you can't even sleep because of the girl Taejun's seeing.
Don't worry.
You'll never have to see Taeyang.
That's a relief.
I'm sure it happened unexpectedly.
Don't be too hurt.
Why would I be hurt?
They broke up because of me.
Hi, Dad.
Taeyang. I'm…
very sick.
-Where are you going? -Family emergency.
What?
-Hi. -Hi.
TAVERN HOUSE
You're going here too?
Yes.
Did Dad call you too?
Hey. My daughter Yumin will come first.
She comes running if she hears her dad's voice.
Goodness. Whatever.
To my daughter, her dad is her God.
See? Listen to yourself talk.
Hey. A dad who's like a friend like me is the best.
That's why you're looked down on all your life.
You punk.
Anyway, let's see who comes first.
Yumin is outside right now…
-Hey. It's Yumin. -Really?
Hi, Yumin.
Sike.
You startled me.
You punk. Why are you taking this so seriously?
Let me get this straight. Those immature dads
made a bet to see whose daughter comes first.
It looks that way.
He told me he thought his appendix burst.
Mine said his intestines were tangled.
I'm leaving.
You're leaving?
Wait.
Hey, Taeyang.
Anyway,
thanks.
For saving Taeyang.
So…
I'll call it even for how you hurt me back when we were athletes.
You punk. What's wrong with you?
Hey, but you know…
I never did anything to hurt your feelings.
You had your feelings hurt all by yourself.
Gosh. She should be here by now.
-What? It's Taeyang. -Is she here?
Sike.
Yumin is almost here.
I wanted to ask you something.
What's between you and Junghwan?
From what I could tell, you used to be friends
but don't get along anymore.
We made up.
You did?
What about you?
I don't know.
I wanted to keep him because I couldn't cut him off,
but he says it's an international shipment, so wait.
Guys, alcohol, sports. Nothing helps me forget him.
Now, he tells me to wait until spring.
That's our relationship.
In simpler terms?
May I?
Help me, friend.
Friend? Me?
Our dads know each other,
we've talked this much, and I've asked for help.
That makes us friends.
What do you need from me?
Play with me right now.
Hurry over to the training center.
What is it at this hour?
Goodness.
I thought you had a bad knee.
Cut it out.
Isn't Taeyang here?
Why would she be?
She told me to come here.
I'm leaving right away.
You were here together.
Why are you two together?
Taeyang wanted to play badminton.
We've decided to be friends.
There are two of you too.
Want to get some chicken and beer?
This isn't right.
Hey. Let's go.
Why? Can't we hang out together? Hey.
-Hey. Can't we all-- -Hush.
What is it?
You made Taeyang call me out, didn't you?
I didn't know you were there.
Sure, I bet you didn't. I'll believe you.
Fine. I did it to see you.
Must you say it out loud?
I only said it because I thought it was cute.
Then why isn't it spring yet?
It should be spring if I'm cute.
Hey. I said I needed time--
What's so special about spring? It's spring in my life now.
Hey.
I guess you didn't like it.
No.
So… Well… That's not it.
Well… So…
While you get your thoughts in order,
I may move on from you.
I guess that doesn't scare you one bit.
Hey.
Taejun.
Yes?
I have one last thing to say.
I hope you'll become happier
because I'm not with you.
So don't be hurt.
I let you go so you can be happy. But if you have a hard time--
Yes, it's hard for me.
Seeing your face, hearing your voice,
having to see you all the time,
ignoring how you act like everything's fine,
all of that is too hard for me.
But we broke up.
Who cares if it's hard for me?
How can I stop caring overnight like we're complete strangers?
How can I not care?
Having to stop caring overnight is what it means
to break up.
Don't you know that?
Hey. Taejun.
Are you mad at me? Do you have to be this mean?
I keep wavering.
Every time our eyes meet, I waver.
That's why I'm avoiding you. What more am I supposed to do?
Fine, I'll stop caring.
Whether or not you're hurting, whether or not you avoid me,
I won't give a damn!
Everyone can do that much. This is where training really begins.
Keep your shoulders wide. Maintain your form.
-Okay. -Tighten your core.
You can't start shaking already.
Another weight.
Ten seconds.
Ten, nine, eight, seven.
Maintain proper form.
Don't use your shoulders. Use your core.
Last ten seconds. Ten, nine,
eight, seven,
six, five, four…
Sungsil.
If we give up here, we lose.
If we pull this off, we win.
Okay.
You're doing better than I expected.
I thought you'd be a total wreck.
Whatever.
Going to the supply room.
I have to do this alone?
Junyoung, come out.
What is it? I was in a groove.
You sound like you're studying for the bar exam.
It's not like grad school is easy to get into.
-What is it? -These are Taejun's favorites.
Take them to him.
Since when did I deliver food? You do it.
-No. You go. -I don't want to.
Hey.
What…
Hey, Junyoung.
I'll give you 30,000 won.
Hello, this is Yook Junghwan.
Today, I have three tips for beginners.
-I'll share them with you. -I can't stand him.
JINCHEON TRAINING CENTER VLOG
NATIONAL TEAM PARK JUNYOUNG
Hi, this is Park Junyoung.
I have no idea why they're making me do this.
It is very awkward.
I'm here for my morning exercise.
First, I'll begin with a little warm-up.
I love you, Junyoung!
Junyoung, you're the best.
Stop that. Don't do things like that.
Please show Junyoung lots of love. Lots and lots.
Please show Park Taeyang lots of love too.
Please love Park Junyoung much more than me.
Hey, Mom said to bring this to you.
What the heck? You should call first.
Or at least knock first.
It's a force of habit.
Mom said to refrigerate this right away.
Why'd you bring them all this way? I can just buy them.
What were you watching?
You.
I was looking for badminton videos, and you popped up.
From the national training center?
Yes.
Why were you watching that? How old is that?
Anyway, I don't even have the right to be forgotten.
How about a match?
We haven't played together since grade school.
How do you feel?
It's been a while since you've held a racket.
It's like seeing an ex-boyfriend.
You're happy to see it, but you want to avoid it.
You feel like you need to let go in case you want to keep it.
You're desperate, and it's heart-wrenching.
But it seems unfamiliar at the same time. Something like that?
Did you really break up with Taeyang?
Because I gave you crap?
She says she likes you more.
She likes you too much
to be with me.
I lost to you.
I can't stand this.
I feel like the bad guy.
It's not your fault.
Not this,
nor the inferiority complex I've had because of you.
It's not your fault. They're all my problems.
I should've acknowledged it long ago that you were gifted
and I was average.
Or maybe I should've asked you for pointers.
We'd have been more comfortable with each other then.
The problem was me, the loser.
It wasn't your fault. You're perfect.
What's gotten into you?
The truth is, I knew all along.
I didn't want to admit it, though.
But now,
I can.
Let's play.
Come on.
I won't go easy on you.
Throw it.
The leg is off.
Does it hurt?
No. You.
Something's off with your leg.
Let's go to the hospital.
Okay.
-Here. -Okay.
Are you okay?
Why aren't you doing anything?
I'm hot, that's why.
Don't make a face. You'll get wrinkles.
Hold on. My stomach.
I'm cramping up. Hey. I'm cramping up.
What's wrong with him?
Your abs are cramping up just from that?
Are you cramping?
You too? Darn it.
Goodness. Are you okay?
Hold on.
Where's Coach?
Mr. Sibong. He hasn't come yet.
But they're all cramping up.
Can you take a look?
I see. They got cramps.
Taejun's been hospitalized.
What?
There's a problem with his knee.
Hello.
Doctor. It's not too serious, is it?
He'll still be able to play badminton. That was what you wanted to know, right?
Yes. Thank you.
You're good. You're okay.
Is it patellar tendinitis?
Yes, according to the X-ray.
But he should stay for three days
and get an MRI and a full checkup.
It's better to be thorough.
There's a lot of fluid in there.
Didn't it hurt? It must've been excruciating.
I didn't know it hurt.
Do I have to be hospitalized?
If it ruptures later, your career will be over
even with surgery.
Let's focus on resting it for now, okay?
It must've hurt a lot,
but you didn't know it hurt?
How is that possible?
Rest up.
If my brother's career ends too,
you're a real quack.
Don't worry.
Why are you following me? Go back and lie down.
I can walk this much.
I'm really okay.
Goodness.
My thoughtful son.
Thank you for making that hard decision.
Taejun.
You're still young.
I know you'll meet plenty of nice girls in the future.
Okay?
Go home.
Bye.
Get home safely.
Go in.
JUNYOUNG
I'm coming.
I was looking all over for you.
I said I was coming. I wanted some fresh air.
Aren't you coming?
I am.
Go out and buy me a strawberry shake, peaches, and some other snacks.
Just go to sleep.
You're here to take care of me. Do you even know what that means?
Are you alive?
I'm glad you're here.
Go to the convenience store together and get me some snacks.
How's Taejun doing?
He won't even say it hurts. That idiot.
I'm sure it's hard for him right now.
I know. He and Taeyang seemed to really care for each other.
We're siblings, but he's always been different from me.
What kind of a girlfriend was I?
Was I that bad?
Well…
You were pretty sexy.
But…
If you go out with someone else,
I hope you'll love that person freely
and receive love freely.
That's my hope for you.
You too.
Thanks.
Taejun is alone in the hospital right now.
If you want to go see him.
Why'd you want to see me?
I thought…
spring was here.
I told you not to get hurt.
Why must you worry me? Why?
Don't worry about me.
Don't care about me.
What were you doing until your knee got that bad?
Until you had to be hospitalized?
I didn't even know I was hurting
because you weren't there.
Because not having you with me hurt more than anything else.
Because…
Because I…
GOING TO YOU AT A SPEED OF 493KM
Are you two going out?
They got caught.
Taejun and Taeyang are going out too.
-Hey. -What?
Taejun says he wants to get married.
-What? -Get married?
We're still submitting applications, so let me know when you choose a partner.
Sungsil and I want to compete in an individual match.
Skip this tournament.
Telling me not to compete is like telling me to give up on life.
Taejun's been doing great these days.
Mixed doubles? With whom?
Just please don't tell my family.
GOING TO YOU AT A SPEED OF 493KM
