Oh, I'm on fire again
In New York City
Oh, yeah…
It's been three months since I left Korea,
and I've had the best summer ever living in New York with--
Kitty, this is weird.
You're posing like you're having some deep, introspective moment.
- It-- - Just take the picture, LJ.
I am choking on sewer steam out here.
Okay.
Wow. That's it. That's super natural.
- That… Yeah, candid. - Yep.
That's… Wow.
It's radiating, just, spontaneity.
Okay. Let's check out this post.
Wait, whose hand is that?
Did you meet a girl at brunch and not tell me?
That may just be my other hand.
Oh my God, Kitty. You're catfishing Min Ho.
- I am not! - Yes! Yes, you are!
You've seen his Insta.
He's partying in a different city every other night.
And we've barely talked,
so I need to make sure he knows my summer was equally as amazing as his.
Even if it was spent drying a lot of my tears?
Whenever my sister needs me, that is where I want to be.
You're gonna figure this out with Peter. I just know it.
Maybe.
I don't know. Our lives are just not compatible right now.
You know, with his job in California,
and all… all the big publishing houses are here in New York…
Well, lucky for you, when you publish your novel, you can write from anywhere.
Those first three chapters? Page-turners.
Kitty!
If you did not want people reading it, you shouldn't have put it in a drawer.
Plus, I had to check if you were, like, actually a good writer
if I was gonna let you help me write my NYU application essay.
I told you you were gonna like NYU, didn't I?
- You were right. - Mm-hmm.
Just like how I'm right about you and Peter.
So if I go to NYU, and you two make up and move in together,
I will be over every Sunday night for dinner.
Fear not.
On a scale of one to ten, how much will you miss me?
I feel like I'm gonna really love having my personal space back.
You wanna cuddle me at any given point!
You stretched out my shoes with your enormous feet.
- I'm half a size bigger than you. - Size and a half, at least.
I am gonna miss you a 12, Kitty.
Getting to watch you experience all these new things
and figure out where you want to apply to college…
I mean, like, that… that… that is exactly what my heart needed.
You know, whatever happens with Min Ho,
I think it's important that you make sure you take the time to discover who you are.
Mm. Just make senior year count.
I will.
I can't believe I'm a senior.
There's still so many things I wanna do before my time at KISS is over.
I know. And that is why I got you a little going-away present.
- I love presents! - Yes, you do!
Regret nothing, remember everything.
- Thank you, sister. - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you did.
Picture me
Looking so cute like OMG
Dreamin' 'bout ya
Treasure, let's find out…
LJ is right, I need to make every moment count.
So I'm calling it my Senior Sunset List.
In Portland it's tradition for the seniors to watch the sunrise on the first day,
then gather again and watch the sunset the night before graduation.
So your Sunset List is everything you want to do before the year is over?
Oh, I love it!
What do you have so far, besides tomorrow's sunrise?
Well, it's a work in progress.
But figure out where I want to apply to college,
have a traditional Chuseok with my Korean family.
I was wondering if we would be on it.
And I want to have a conversation with Soon Ja fully in Korean.
Crap, not Soon Ja. Imo-Halmoni.
- Yes. - We do not first name our elders here.
Well, you can still call me Jiwon, except when school is in session.
I cannot believe you are actually a teacher here now. And my RA.
Does that make me like a nepo-cousin?
Ha ha. Funny.
Kitty, is it pathetic that I'm nervous?
I don't know. I've never even lived away from Halmoni.
Please, you've got this.
And I've got your back.
- Thanks, Kitty. - Mm.
It's nice to know we can lean on each other.
I better go now and review my lesson plans again.
I'll see you later?
Annyeonghee-gah-seh-yo! Wait, no, annyeonghee-geh-seh-yo.
You had it the first time. Keep me updated on your list.
Which brings me to…
…the most pressing item on my list.
Ending the situationship by defining the relationship,
and lock it in with yet another silver-screen worthy kiss.
Hi, Covey.
I was starting to think that we'd never be in the same time zone again.
I can hardly believe it.
I'm really looking forward to hearing about your summer.
I'm looking forward to telling you about it.
- What a douche-- - Dude? I know that bike anywhere!
Marius!
Okay, I don't know who this guy is,
but he totally just killed the vibe.
Bringing the drama from day one?
I do love to make an entrance.
I do.
Hi!
Oh, Marius, this is Kitty.
- Hi. - Right! Dae's ex. The American.
I remember you lot would FaceTime for hours.
Then you moved here. Don't they call you the Seattle Stalker?
- Oh, the Portland Stalker. - Oh.
Nobody calls me that… anymore.
Well, it's nice to meet the girl who made such an impression on my friend group.
Anyways, Kitty and I were about to--
I am dying to get the Four Horsemen back together.
It's senior year, baby.
And I'm single now, so we are gonna tear Seoul a new one.
But first, I do need to take a shower, so let me back into the suite, bro. Yeah?
Please? Thanks.
Sure. Yeah.
Come with?
Miss Covey!
What's a girl gotta do to get one single, tiny,
uninterrupted moment of romance around here?
Hi, it's good to…
Still not a hugger, I see. Copy.
Thank you so much for having me back, Professor. I'm so excited for senior year.
I have so many things planned.
I hope they include focusing on academics because for a senior,
you are woefully behind.
What? How? Classes haven't even started.
As a one-year exchange student, you had fewer requirements.
But now, you'll also have to fulfill our graduation requirements.
But I am going to graduate, right?
I suppose you can still catch up.
You'll have to make up a few classes, starting with a Korean culture elective.
Registration starts tonight at midnight. My advice?
Be on time.
The easy ones fill up fast.
So you kissed her and then went and spent the summer with a bunch of hot girls?
Okay, that was work.
We lost the Yisoo deal, so from now on, wherever Eunice goes, I go.
Meanwhile, Kitty was posting all summer from New York.
With guys and girls.
It sounds to me like you're single, then.
Well, technically, Kitty and I haven't exactly, um…
Marius.
'Sup, big Dae!
Good to see you.
- Marius. - Q!
You look well.
Yeah, likewise. I mean, you… you've been working out?
Ah. USC coaches go hard,
but better I get used to it now before I'm a freshman.
- It's official? - It's official. I'm in!
I'm gonna be a Trojan! Fight on!
- Congrats! - Thank you!
- That's great, mate. - Lads, look at us.
I mean, the band's all back together.
What else have I missed?
Because so far, I know that Min Ho is in a committed relationship
with his job.
That's so funny.
- That's good. - Anyone else?
Uh, Jin and I are together and super happy.
Like, the happiest I've ever been.
Great. Well, I'm excited to meet my roomie's new boyfriend.
Actually, Dae and I have discussed it, and we're gonna be rooming together,
so you don't have to worry about that.
You know how cranky I get if I don't get my beauty sleep. I need the west window.
Yeah, sure.
So what're we all doing for tonight, then? For fun?
Oh, I have an idea.
We could all watch the sunrise before senior year officially starts.
You know what? That sounds really lovely, Covey.
Yeah, but if we really want to kick senior year off right,
I think we should take over the senior lounge and throw a rager.
Yeah, I mean, it's the faculty welcome party tonight.
That means that all the teachers--
All the teachers are gonna be on the other side of campus.
You know, you do know how to throw a hell of a party, bruv.
I mean, that is kind of perfect.
I just said "kind of."
And of course, um, we'll do the sunrise too.
Yeah, maybe. I mean…
I'm not really a morning person, but we… we could play it by ear. Mm.
Okay, Kitty, you're gonna break the glass on your phone.
I'm inviting everyone to Senior Sunrise.
I don't care if Marius thinks it's lame.
He's lame. Bulldozing over my plans like that?
Yeah, Marius is all about Marius.
Which would be fine if Min Ho wasn't all about him too.
I thought Min Ho would want to define the relationship,
but now he's all, "You throw a hell of a party, bruv!"
Listen, Marius is an acquired taste.
Not that I've tasted him, 'cause I haven't. What?
Spill.
Fine.
Marius and I used to secretly hook up sophomore year.
When he had a girlfriend.
I know. I'm not proud of it. And… and Jin doesn't know anything.
And the two of us are actually in a really great place
since he visited me this summer in LA.
- So please, please don't say anything. - I will not.
But you cannot live with this man.
Stand your ground and tell him to switch rooms.
I will.
Good. And I'm gonna stand my ground and get my damn sunrise.
How could this happen?
You're not coming back to KISS for our senior year?
Kitty, I tried, okay? My mom and I can barely afford this place.
She found, what, like, five million won from my dad's secret stash,
and tuition is 20 million, so public school it is.
What if we sold a few things?
My clothes?
No!
Kitty, this is all I have left of my old life.
That is not true. You have me and all of your friends.
This is just clothes. Who cares?
Do you know me at all?
Yisoo, Valentino, Chanel?
Hello, if we sold this stuff, we could make at least 15 million won.
You could pay for the first semester. We could even get you back in the dorms.
There is an open bed in my suite.
No, no. Okay, even if I wanted to sell these clothes, which I don't…
I'd have to make tuition before school starts tomorrow,
and it would take hours to upload these online.
Oh! Min Ho's annoying friend Marius
is having a party tonight in the senior lounge.
Oh my God, his parties are legendary.
Whatever. The point is, we could have a Yuri sample sale.
We'll make an Insta post. Everyone will come.
Yuri. It's either your clothes or your friends.
We're gonna do this. We're gonna do it. It's gonna work.
Uh, we need to talk.
I need you to switch rooms with Dae.
Yeah, I… I picked up on that.
You know, you can just ask me directly.
We are friends. Or at least, I thought we were.
You're right.
Can you please switch rooms with Dae?
See, was that so hard?
But no. I'd rather live with you.
I think we had a really good thing going, don't you?
Oh, is Jin the jealous type?
There's nothing to be jealous of.
Then what's the problem?
Okay. Oh my God. Okay.
Okay.
Kitty! Wait up!
Okay, allow me.
You don't have the upper body strength.
- I've seen you try to open a jar. - Ah, what a gentleman.
So, from Instagram, it seems like
you were having a pretty good time living it up in Manhattan this summer.
Yeah, I was.
Seems like you had a good time partying all over the world.
Yeah, I did, but that was work.
Well, seems like you have quite the knack for it.
But now that we're back, there's other stuff to focus on.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Now I have to juggle managing Eunice and school.
Right. Well, at least you're on track to graduate.
I mean, did you know you have to take a Korean culture elective?
Yes, Covey. What do you think the "K" in KISS stands for?
It's a basic graduation requirement here.
Take Korean Media. You watch a bunch of Korean films.
Marius and I took it freshman year. An idiot could pass.
- Mm. Sounds perfect for him. - Just wait. Marius will grow on you.
Yeah, like a fungus.
No.
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Oh!
Fighting, mate!
- Oh, I love a pop-up. - Ooh.
Yeah, it looks like Yuri's greatest hits are here.
Indeed. We have tonight to make enough money
so Yuri can pay for school and live in the suite with us.
When you say living with us, you mean us?
Yes, if that's cool with you?
I mean, assuming we make enough money. We are about halfway there.
- Can I get a friends-and-family discount? - No.
Sorry you had to resort to this.
It's fine.
It's just stuff.
How much for your boots?
Oh! Absolutely not. These are priceless. Not for sale.
Just stuff, huh?
They're vintage Yisoo.
When Juliana was sent away last year, they honestly got me through it.
Min Ho, let's do our famous flaming shot, bro.
Nah, nah. I'm not drinking tonight. I've got a sunrise to catch, remember?
But surely one shot isn't gonna kill you, mate.
Nah, I can't. I… I'm good. Thanks, though. I'm good.
- Shot, shot, shot, shot! - No!
Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot!
- Okay. - Yeah!
Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot!
Shot, shot, shot!
Why is everyone obsessed with this guy?
Did you confront the fungus about moving out?
Mm-hmm.
I tried, okay? But Marius was all charming and… wet.
Never mind.
Look, it's fine. Making a stink about it is just gonna raise questions,
and I don't need Marius telling Jin about our history.
But Jin loves you, Q. Just tell him. Don't let this bully manipulate you.
- Beat Marius at his own game. - You're right.
Whoo!
- It's just… - I'm the greatest, mate.
…I think he's my weakness.
- Well, he's not mine. - Kitty.
Whoo!
Still undefeated! Who's next?
I am.
Kathy, you play beer pong?
I do. Care to make this interesting?
If I win, you switch rooms and leave Q alone once and for all.
- Can we talk? - Yeah, of course.
I wasn't aware you were so concerned with Q's living arrangement.
Yeah. And if I win, no Senior Sunrise.
Deal. Rack 'em up.
Yeah, I… I don't know. I…
I feel like I just need to get this out in the open.
Marius and I used to hook up, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I get it. I mean, Marius is a lot, but I understand the appeal.
- It's in the past, right? - Totally.
I'm with you now, and you are all I want.
Come on. Come on.
Don't stop, now
Keep going
Don't stop
Now go
Don't stop, now
Keep going
Don't stop
Now go
Don't stop, now
Keep going
Don't stop
- Now go - Let's go
Your turn, Kathy.
It's Kitty.
Oh, I'm still 500,000 short.
Oh, I love this song!
- Hey, Madison? - What?
You still want these boots?
I thought they were priceless.
They're yours for… 600 thou.
I'll give you five.
Done.
Yay!
Go
Don't stop, now
Keep going, don't stop
- Now go - Let's go
This is it, Kitty.
Senior year is riding on this.
- Kitty! - Oh shit.
Good game, Kathy. Senior Sunrise is canceled.
Can't wait to sleep in.
What the heck, Kitty?
I saw your post about Yuri's sale, and I thought I would swing by,
but I didn't expect underage drinking on campus.
That is a serious offense, and I need to report this.
No, Jiwon, you can't. I am begging you. I will owe you my life.
You are asking me to put my job at risk. Is that what you meant by having my back?
No. You're right. I'm sorry.
I'll give you five minutes before I march back here with Lee,
but this is the first and last time I ever bail you out.
You don't get special treatment because you're family. Understand?
Yes.
Thank you.
Principal Lee is on his way! We're about to get busted!
What? How did he find out?
We gotta go!
My cousin's a teacher here. She saw the post about the sale.
- Oh, so basically you narc'd? - All right, it was obviously an accident.
We only have five minutes.
Kitty! Where are you going?
To bed. It's been a crappy day.
Wait!
Where are you going? Talk to me.
I came back to KISS wanting to make the most of this year.
I had a list of all the things I wanna do before we all run out of time.
But school hasn't even started, and somehow everything's gone wrong.
I'm behind all my classes. Jiwon now hates me.
Marius is edging me out of my friend group and ruined my Senior Sunrise.
- And you-- - Me? What about me?
For starters, you spent your whole summer partying with girl groups.
It didn't seem like you were sitting around pining for me.
And now that we're back, you're all about partying with Marius.
Marius is an old friend.
He got caught up in the excitement of being back.
Maybe I did too. It's our senior year.
Exactly! And time is already ticking away.
You want to know the truth?
I spent the summer replaying that kiss on the beach over and over in my head,
just dreaming of having another cinematic kiss with you.
I even put it on my stupid Sunset List.
This is our last year together, Min Ho.
So I guess I got caught up in thinking maybe you and I could be something.
I think that I was wrong.
About everything.
- Call me - I…
Call me honey
Give me something
I can keep…
I made a list of all my hopes for senior year.
But so far, all I've got are regrets.
And the biggest one is that Min Ho and I are finally in the same time zone,
but somehow oceans apart.
Registration!
No. No.
No! All the classes are taken?
Except Korean Lit.
When it rains, it pours.
Come on. Min Ho wants to show you something.
What is going on?
- Hi! - Did she have any idea?
Lookin' back on a Sunday
Pictures from the past now
Sittin' all in the basement…
He got me my Senior Sunrise.
Guess who's re-enrolling at KISS?
- No way! Oh! - Yes!
Thank you so much.
It would not have been senior year without you.
Juliana! Madison!
Looks like we found our fourth roommate.
So, your ex is living in your suite?
This won't be weird at all.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
Yuri.
A welcome back gift.
I bought them back from Madison.
She probably doubled the price, but I know how much they mean to you.
Thank you so much.
With friends like you and Kitty, that's all I really need.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
You're looking fresh for someone who stayed up all night.
Switch rooms with Dae. I'm not gonna ask again.
Whoa. Okay.
I mean, if you can't stay within a few feet of me
without your entire relationship crumbling, then I'll switch.
I already told Jin everything.
- We're solid. - That's great, Q.
Curious, how did he react to that special little photo
that you sent me this summer?
You know? The one of--
- Shut up. - Ah. So not everything, then.
Kitty was right.
You are a bully.
Stay away from me.
I cannot believe you did this.
Wanted to help you check it off your list.
It's the least I can do to show you how much I care about you.
You do?
Don't be daft.
Okay, look.
Forget last night. Forget Marius.
Forget all the stupid stuff we posted on Instagram.
For what it's worth, I didn't hook up with anyone this summer.
I didn't either.
And the reality is,
I want to be the guy who gives you that cinematic kiss on your list.
Wait, no, no. I have morning breath and bed head. This is not what I pictured.
When you're not here There's some days I feel blue
There's space in my bed I still leave for you
Overthink real fast now 'bout it
Oh
I was wondering,
was me being your boyfriend on the list?
It might be.
Well, I guess you can check that off too.
Yeah, your breath could use a little mint.
Whatever.
All right, everybody.
I want to propose a toast to Kitty for her amazing Senior Sunrise idea.
To senior year!
Lara Jean told me to make my senior year count.
Regret nothing, remember everything.
She was right. And I have a feeling this year is gonna be unforgettable.
Hey, yo, I heard you're back in Seoul.
I'd love to see you. And I know that Min Ho would too.
But, hey… Our boy's actually gotten himself into a bit of trouble,
and I was hoping that you could get him out of it.
Ah. Thanks, Gigi.
It's gonna rock his world when he finds out you're in Seoul.
Yeah. All right. I'll see you soon, yeah? Yeah.
Now you speak French
Can't keep up with me
Try and match my energy
Dancin' on the table, table
Tell 'em I'm pullin' up on site
- We'll make 'em - Meow
- With my girls, we gon' shake some - Meow
We don't run, we don't chase 'em
Turn it up, hear that bass drum
Wons and yens and dollars
Comma, comma, comma
Shake some
Break some
